6:40 A.M, Samaira Khanna was standing in the bus depot with her luggage. The bus will be leaving for Mumbai at 7am.Samaira went to the nearby tea-stall to buy a Mineral water bottle. Suddenly, she heard a familiar male voice from her behind.

Good Morning Samaira.

She looked at that direction. She saw Arjun. Arjun Mehra was standing there with a luggage hand-bag. But he is looking slightly different from yesterday's night. He is wearing spectacles.

Samaira- heyy Arjun. Good Morning. You here. What a pleasant surprise.

Arjun- Why surprising???I live in Mumbai, I was in Khandala because of some urgent piece of work. Now, the work is over & I am leaving for Mumbai.

Samaira- same pinch. By the way, how's your wound???

Arjun- Its fine.I took pain-killer.

Samaira-Again thanks for your help. The way the bastards attacked...

Arjun- heyy Relax. Its absolutely okay. You said last night naa, Humanity matters. Thats it.

Samaira- thanks again.

Arjun- When you gonna to stop your thanks puran????

Samaira smiled slightly. Arjun extended his hand towards Samaira.

Arjun- Friends????

Samaira was looking at Arjun with a very surprised look on her face.

Arjun- If we become friends your thanks giving will stop automatically. In Friendship, there is no place for Sorry & thanks.

Samaira smiled & shake hand with Arjun. "Friendship Offer Accepted" Said Samaira.

Arjun- We will continue our conversation in bus, else bus will leave for Mumbai without us.

Inside the Bus,

Samaira- heyy, I will take the Window seat.

Arjun- Why???Do you have vommiting tendency while travelling in bus???(in a fun tone)

Samaira- eeeks, cheee, How mean.

Arjun-(With a small smile)- No, the way U are saying, I found urgency in your tone.

Arjun- arre baba, it's a common thing, when a girl & a boy is sitting together in a bus or in train, even in flight, he should give the Window seat to the girl.

Samaira- No, I object. I believe in equality. In fact, I strictly oppose ladies seat in bus & ladies compartment in train.

Arjun- woahh, By any chance, do U work in National Commission for women???

Samaira- No, I asked Window seat because U offered friendship. As a friend, I asked, not as a lady.

Arjun- ( with a small smile) I may catch cold if I take window seat, So I am gladly giving U the seat.

Bus Conductor- arre betho naa tum log, bus chodne ka waqt ho gaya hai. Samaira took the Window seat & Arjun took the seat beside Samaira.

Samaira- You are so sarcastic. No one is like Neil. He is such a sweet Guy.

Arjun- Neil, your boyfriend????

Samaira- No, My best-friend. My Apple.

Arjun- apple???

Samaira- Yes, for his sweet, simple & caring nature, I gave him this nick-name Apple.

Arjun- That's great.

Samaira- By the way, your martial arts skill is superb. Last Night, I forgot to appreciate it.

Arjun- Thanks, Thank U so much.

Samaira- you know, I am thinking that I should learn some self-defence technique. Last night, I felt so helpless.

Arjun- Yes, you should. Why to depend on others??? Aapne safety, aapne haath.

Samaira- hmm, but tum ne to ek saath 4-5 ko road pe leta diya. dhisumm, dhisumm. Its just like watching an action scene in a Salman Khan's movie.

Arjun- it's a biggest compliment that I am receiving from a lady.

Samaira- boo, don't tell lie. So, tell me How many girlfriends you have till now???

Arjun- Girlfriends???

Samaira- Don't tell me that You are married.

Arjun- No, I am not married. But I don't have any GirlFriend.

Samaira- Boo, you are so handsome, you are also looking so young & You are telling me that you don't have any girlfriend. Don't joke yaar.

Arjun- No, Its not a joke. I started my journey from an Orphan-home. Its a tough journey. Still struggling. So, never get the time for all this.

Samaira- ohh, I am so Sorry. But U know, what is more painful??expectation from someone.

They both looked at each other. Arjun saw strange pain in her eyes. But he don't said anything. He put his hand on Her's hand.

Samaira- But Don't ask anything about it. I don't want to share this with anybody.

Arjun nodded his head.

Arjun- U know, sometimes by sharing with others, U may find solution & peace also.

Samaira- leave. By the way, Who is your favorite Actress???

Arjun- I got the fact, that Ur Favorite Actor is Salman Khan. But you should ask about my Favorite Actor naa, Why are U asking my fav Actress???

Samaira- arre stop!stop!

Arjun- I cant differentiate among beautiful ladies.

Samaira- wow, U are a flirt also. Last night, I thought, U are a very serious type of Person.

Arjun- Who I am??? It's a very difficult equation, very tough maths. You will need a lot of time & hard work to crack it.

Samaira- I am very bad in Maths. I work in an Advertisement agency.

Arjun started laughing.

Samaira- don't laugh. Yes, its true, I cant judge people's mind. Always I try to understand people's heart. Trust comes from heart & trust is the main factor in every relationship.

Arjun- I don't trust people so easily. Trust is fatal for me.

Samaira- What???

Arjun- arre, I am an Accountant. I have to do lot of calculations. Its a brain's work.

Samaira- hmm.

Bus stopped in a Petrol Pump. Most of the passengers got down from the bus. Arjun was standing outside, holding Samaira's bag. Arjun lit a cigarette. Samaira came out from the Wash-room. She saw Arjun. She came & stand beside him, but she maintained distance.
