.

KV follows Dushu inside…

KV- "kya keh raha hai! Sach mei? Tu maanta hai tujhe pyar hogaya billi se?"

Dushyant- "haan..."

they walk into the kitchen where Dushu serves a thali to himself n KV.

KV watches in awe as Dushu continues eating his food as if nothing happened…

KV- "serious?"

Dushyant- "hmm? Haan. Serious. Is mei koi shak hai?"

KV- "itni jaldi kaise realize hua?"

Dushu sighs…

Dushyant- "hua na." * in a low voice * Ab toh tu mujhe tease nhi karega...

(AN: sorry guys chappal mat maarna plz :* )

KV smiles all of a sudden clapping his hands…

KV- "mujhe sunayi dia.. tu! Aise maamle mei koi mazak karta hai kya? I'm really pissed off-"

Dushyant- "what do you mean?"

KV- "hey! Ab toh sach bol. Warna pitega. Abhi abhi tu mazak kar raha tha right? Taki main tujhe tang na karu-"

Dushyant- "KV-"

KV- "maan jaa, warna..."

Dushyant- "uff! Accha. Haan!"

KV- "how mean!" * glares *

Dushyant- "arey yar! Thodi der k liye hi sahi... Kyu main tere aur billi ki tarah drama nhi kar sakta.. kyu meri jhoot pakdi gayi..."

Dushu makes a hurt face and looks away. KV laughs-

KV- "kyu ki tu bhola bhaalu hai! Haha! Waise tune sach boldi. Isliye naraz nhi hu. Maaf kardiya is baar. Agey se aisa mazak mat karna… samjha!"

Dushu sighs again.. folding his arms.. he says..

Dushyant- "OK KV baba maanli apni galti. Maaf kardijiye."

KV- "ye galti thik hai Dushyant..."

KV's tone is serious,

KV- "par usko khone ki galti mat karna. Zindgi bhar pachtayega..."

Dushu sighs again as they together finish their dinner wordlessly.

.

.

.

.

Just then Ishu comes there…

Ishu- "oh! tu yaha hai!"

Dushyant- "haan. Aur tu… kaha chali gayi?"

Ishu- "wo.. jassi di se milne. Sab ko bye boldiya. Kaafi raat hogai hai bhaalu..."

he checks his watch.

Dushyant- "oh.. haan. Chal main tujhe drop kardeta hu… "

he puts his plate in the sink and washes his hands..

Ishu- "nhi.. papa aayenge mujhe pick karne..."

Dushyant- "par kyu. Main drop kardeta na."

Ishu shakes her head.

Ishu- "nhi bhaalu! kitnaa kaam karega.. thoda toh araam kar… kal bureau bhi jana hai" * smiles *

KV- "haye haye. Teri toh lag gayi re." *pats D's back * "Ab dekho na, humare liye kisi ne aaj tak aisa nhi kaha.. I'm jealous..."

Ishu turns pink and for some reason her heartbeat rises-

Ishu- "a.. aisi koi baat nhi sir.. m.. main aisi hi bol rahi thi… aap toh aise bolre hai jaise main-"

she stops herself… get a grip Ishu! Khud ko embarrass mat kar-

KV- "jaise tum..."

Ishu- "uh… mujhe jana hoga sir… good night..."

KV- "arey baat toh puri kar na, Ishita-"

Dushu barges in the conversation-

Dushyant- "tu usko tang mat kar KV."

KV- "arey Par.."

Ishu- "Papa aagaye honge. Good night. I'll see you sir. See you bhaalu. Good night sir-"

Dushyant- "chal main bhi aata hu..."

Ishu manages a smile and walks ahead.. KV stops Dushu from following her-

KV- "teri tarah h, kuch confess karne ki bari aayi, toh bhaag jaati hai…"

Dushu glares at him…

KV- "tu jitna bhi ghoorle.. yahi sach hai..."

Dushyant- *Sigh *

.

.

.

.

.

Wordlessly Dushu follows Ishu to the Shergil House's main gate-

Ishu turns to Dushu…

Ishu- "today was amazing!" * smiles * "ek saat kitni masti ki humne! Tumhare saat, saare cousins k saat! ye din main kabhi nhi bhul sakti… thank you bhalu… is pyar.. aur apnapan k liye..."

He smiles widely.

Dushyant- "abhi toh tune sirf trailer dekha h… picture toh baki hai meri dost..."

Ishu- "haha. Iska matlab?"

Dushyant- "matlab, ye toh chalta rahega na. Tujhe baki functions mei bhi shamil hona h. aur.. uske baad bhi toh, tera is ghar mei aana-jaana rahega. Right? So haan, this will never end Billi..."

She nods and smiles at him… he gives her a bright smile… Just then a horn blows…

Ishu- "lagta hai papa aagaye… tum acche se sojaana. Araam karna. Aur.. apna khayal rakhna.. OK..."

He nods smiling..

Dushyant- "OK ji. Aap bhi..."

Ishu- "see you tomorrow..."

He waves her a bye… she looks at him as if thinking something. Is there something left to say? For some reason she didn't want to leave him back and go-

Dushyant- "kya hua?"

Ishu- "uh.. kuch nhi… bye! Good night!"

Dushyant- "good night!"

Ishu drives away with her dad and a long day comes to an end.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Sagai day.. Dushyant's close friends from CID reach his home that evening.

7PM-

All the boys are dressed in elegant kurta pyjamas. Dushu wore a deep green kurta pyjama. Ishu chose to wear a beige coloured elegant salwar suit and looked as pretty as ever. The sagai function goes on smoothly.

9PM-

As the function comes to an end, Jassi-Karan exchange rings. It's photo-session time!

Everyone click photos with each other.

And then comes the turn to pose for a group photo.

Mrs. Shergil- "Ishu puttar! Aao tum bhi..."

Ishu watches in awe as Mrs. Shergil invites her to join her family-

Ishu- "par.. aunty ji. Ye aapki family photo hai..."

Dushyant- "haan... Tu bhi toh family hai.. aaja..."

Ishu smiles but then hesitates looking down. Dushyant has to come to her to take her with him.

Aakash- "aww accha hua aap agayi… waise kaha khadi hongi aap-"

Neeta- "paagal.. unki jaga humesha bhai k paas hi hai… tu hut. Haan aap aao ji honewali bhabhi ji-"

Neeta makes way to Ishu, pushing Aakash away. Ishyant try to ignore they dint hear. Smiling they all get ready for the snap. Just then-

Dushyant calls up KV. Freddy-Manisha had to leave early but he's happy KV has been there.

Dushyant- "KV.. aaja.."

KV- "arey par.."

Mr & Mrs. Shergil- "haan haan tu na aaye toh kaise chalega… aaja!"

KV- "aunty baad mei..."

Dadi- "KV puttar! No arguments!"

Dushyant- "tu aata hai ki main aau tujhe waha se uthaane?"

KV- "arey nhi nhi bhai! I'm coming..."

KV laughs and joins him with a smile. Dushyant puts one arm around KV, the other around Ishu.. beside him there r his parents, his sis-jiju, his dadi/beeji and entire shergil pariwar…

Camera person- "alright, everyone smile..."

*click *

It was a moment to cherish.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A while later…

Everyone is busily playing games

Ishu is blindfolded in a particular game.

Neeta- "so ye ek guessing game hai. Pure luck aapko jitaa sakti hai guys. So haan Ishu tumhe guess karna hoga, tumhare saamne jo insaan baitha hai, uske haat mei jo ball rakhi jaati hai, wo konsi colour ki hai. Sahi guess, then you'll get a prize..."

Aisha- "ye kaisi game hai..."

Neeta- "meri creation..."

Jatin- "Neeta! Stupid game hai."

Neeta- "accha prize chahiye ki nhi?"

Aakash- "prize?"

Neeta- "ha acche acche prizes hai..."

Rishi- "jaise?"

Neeta- "jaise… chocolates! Mithai!"

Jatin- "hum kya bacche h? Jo chocolates k liye khelenge?"

Neeta- "Jatin! Shut up OK. Jisko khelna hai wo khele, bas!"

Aakash- "J.. relax… Neeta.. dont get hyper.. I think it will be fun. But haan, wrong guess kia.. toh.. wo bhi batao!"

Neeta- "haan. Haan. Wrong guess kia toh.. jo haara hai, usko jeetne wale ki ek shart maanni padegi-"

Veer- "oh ab ye interesting hai.."

Neeta- "OK start karo.."

Ishu adjusts her blindfold..

Neeta- "hey! No cheating!"

Ishu- "arey main sirf adjust kar rahi thi… aur pehle hi mera turn! Unfair!"

Neeta- "ohho! Koi na.. ab batao! ye kitne ungli hai.."

Ishu- "I can only guess Neeta.. umm… 3?"

Neeta- "haha its 5… chalo accha hai lets start… Aakash! Pick a ball and sit in front of her..."

Aakash grabs a ball.. but someone takes it from him… its KV…

Neeta- "arey ye aap-"

KV turns to Aakash-

KV- "shh! Pagal hai? Tu kyu baithega?"

Aakash- "KV bhai-"

KV- "shh..."

placing it silently in Dushu's hand, he signals everyone not to speak...

Ishu- "kya horaha hai..."

KV pushes Dushu down and so now Dushyant is sitting in front of her.. thnx to KV's naughtiness, there's hardly any distance between them, just by reaching out a little he could touch her.. he looks at KV who signals him not to speak.. so he sits there, kneeling on the floor close to her..

Ishu- "kya horaha hai.. ye toh…."

Ishu senses something… that faint fragrance in the air… could it be the one she thinks it is? Everything revolving him has always been filmy to her and this was no exception. She could guess who it was.

Neeta- "guess karo konsi colour hai..."

Ishu smiles…

Ishu- "ye.. ye toh bhaalu hai!"

Dushu's eyes widen while KV just smirks clapping his hands..

KV- "dekha prove kardi na.. tum dono ki connection.."

everyone is impressed but are silent..

Ishu- "hai na? Arey hai ki nhi!?"

Aakash- "Awww! Kya connection hai aap dono ki!"

Dushu looks at blindfolded Ishu and smiles… this is…

Ishu- "kya main sahi hu?"

Neeta- "how sweet! par aapko colour guess karna h.. insaan ko nhi!"

Ishu- "haan par ye guess nhi. Mujhe pata hai bhalu mere saamne baita hai..."

Dushu lets out a low chuckle and looks at her in disbelief…

she reaches out to him…

Ishu- "hello… bhaalu.. kii hogaya.. kuch bolo na..."

Dushu is silent, still smiling dreamily at her…

Ishu- "Bha- Dushyant…."

she shouldn't call him bhaalu before everyone right? He'd feel… bad?

He guides her hand to his cheek, enveloping her own in his… that makes Ishu smile and blush…

Ishu- "toh tu hi hai… mainu pata hai.."

she smiles widely. He then slowly removes her blindfold… she slowly adjusts her vision and when his face comes in view a smile forms on her lips…

both smile at each other…

Ishu- "dekha.. mainu sab pata hai..."

he smiles again… this time he guides her hand gently to his lips and gives it a sweet kiss..

Ishu- "uh.."

Ishu's smile drops. Her cheeks turn pink. To cover up she manages to give a smile.

Jatin- "awww! bas karo bhai! Sab ke saamne ye romance nhi!"

Dushu finally looks up from what he's doing and leaves her hand.. what was he doing?! He turns slightly pink…

Dushyant- "sorry.. sorry..."

Ishu thinks - "ye kehta kyu nhi ki.. aisa kuch nhi jaise wo log soch rahe hai..."

she tries to speak but words wouldn't come.. her throat feels tight, her breathing hitched and her heart raced… this is.. bad!

She sighs as she watches him get up-

Aakash- "toh bhai… agar Ishu ki jagah aap hote toh aise hi pehchanlete kya..."

she looks at him.. he smiles at her before answering..

Dushyant- "haan.. if its billi… then… haan..."

All cousins- "awww!"

Ishu thinks- "oho! Please aisa kuch mat bolo ki sab ko yakeen hojaye hum dono…" *deep breaths * "is bhaalu pe koi asar nhi hota! Bhaalu kaheeka.. ek main hi..."

Slight anger builds up in her as she rubs her cheeks, hoping to stop the redness in them.. the cousins start their teasing again…

Rishi- "ohho plz bhai aapko dikh nhi raha bhabhi bohot sharmaa rahi hai, aapki waje se.. ab toh baksh dijiye unhe!"

this causes Ishu to blush more… she meekly says…

Ishu- "bas karo! Hum bachpan k dost h.. I.. isliye.. pehchanlete hai..."

D speaks up.

Dushyant- "haan.. haan.. so toh h..."

Jatin- "guys… koi aur game khele? Ab har koi itni acchi tarah ye game khel nhi sakta right?"

Neeta grudgingly agrees to it… Ishu takes deep breaths to calm herself down.. Dushyant moves to take a seat beside the guys.. He just hopes KV isn't still around to tease him but to his horror, he's right beside him,

Sitting beside Jassi di, Ishu didn't dare look at him for quite a while.

Everyone is still having a discussion on what to play when Mrs. Shergil walks in complaining-

Mrs. Shergil- "ohho! Ye kii! Sab log aithe hai, chalo chalo, jaldi khaana khaalo, so jao.. sade dus baj gaye bhai.. band karo ye khel kuud..."

Aisha- "arey par bua ji humne kuch khela hi nhi..."

Mrs. Shergil- "arey bas! Kuch nhi sunna mujhe! Chalo utho sab log… Ishu puttar, ghar nhi jaana tumhe?"

Ishu scrambles to her feet and gets up from the huge carpet where she had been sitting with the other gals-

Ishu- "ji.."

Mrs. Shergil- "ha toh dinner karke jaa..."

Ishu nods and moves with the girls to finish off her dinner. Thankfully, its a buffet, so she went to grab a plate and immediately joined the girls again..

.

.

.

A moment later-

Dushu looks at KV suspiciously watching him as the latter relishes his dinner.

Dushyant thinks- "kamaal hai.. isne abhi tak kuch bola hi nhi..."

setting his thali aside, he washes his hands. That's when KV speaks..

KV- "so finally huh? Your feelings got the better of you.. matlab.. sabke saamne aisae.. bas seedha kiss huh… not bad..."

Dushu smiles at him.

Dushyant- "thank god tu normal hai."

KV- "huh? Mujhe kya hua?"

Dushyant- "ab tak tune kuch nhi bola iss bare mei. Mujhe laga kuch hogaya hai tujhe.."

KV rolls his eyes

KV- "haha very funny."

Dushu folds his arms, points a finger at KV-

Dushyant- "waise ye sab teri waje se hua hai. Tune mujhe uske saamne bithadiya!"

KV- "ha toh? OK. fine. Did I ask you to kiss her?"

Dushyant- "shut up! It's just a kiss on the hand-"

KV- "oh haan… right..."

KV smiles suggestively,

Dushyant- "seriously! Its not like I planned on it. I mean I wouldn't really want to kiss her! I mean main kyu usko-"

Dushu slaps his forehead..

Dushyant- "ye.. ye maine kya boldiya… kya kya bolna pad raha hai teri waje se!"

KV laughs...

KV- "hey! Ye sab tere real feelings hai teri billi k liye… aur tu… tu mujhe blame kar raha hai!"

Dushu sighs… he's too tired to argue back…

KV- "Abhi tak toh logo ko sirf shak tha.. teri harqat ne use prove kardiya.."

Dushyant- "kya prove kardiya.."

KV- "that you love her duffer!"

before Dushu can argue…

Mr. Shergil- "KV puttar!"

KV- "accha main abhi aaya..."

with that KV walks to greet Mr. Shergil and few other guys.

Dushu thinks- "kya kardiya maine! Kya mujhe… maine koi galti ki? Aisa kuch kardiya jo ek dost ko nhi karna chahiye?" *sigh * " Billi.. wo kaise feel kar rahi hogi?"

.

.

.

There Ishu finishes her dinner and bids bye to everyone… she remembers the game, the kiss on the hand…

Ishu thinks- "mere aur bhaalu k beech.. awkwardness ki koi jaga hai.. what happened was nothing! Sab logo ko bas hume tease karna hota hai.. I have to find Bhalu. Pata nhi how he's feeling.."

And then she finally spots him in the lawn…

Ishu- "toh tu yaha hai.. aur main tujhe har jaga dhundh rahi thi..."

he turns to look at her.. she smiles at him… he wants to tell her she looks gorgeous in the salwar suit she wore-

Dushyant- "billi..."

he couldn't embarrass himself anymore, so he looks away keeping mum.

Ishu- "mujhe ghar drop nhi karega?"

Dushyant- "huh? Main?"

Ishu- "haan. tu… wo.. papa nhi aaye … isliye.."

He smiles awkwardly..

Dushyant- "haan haan. kyu nhi… chalo..."

They walk to his dad's car… she takes the passenger seat. He begins to drive and they are set off after waving bye to everyone.

All along, he remembers the happenings of the day… his cousins' words ring in his head.

"ohh! Toh aap hai wo, jiska bhai ko kab se intezar tha!"

"Kitni sohni kudi milgayi bhai ko I'm jealous!"

"sohni toh lagegi hi! Arey hai ye humari Dushyant ki dulhan!"

he then remembers how he had said she's beautiful..

"tu.. tu aaj bohot sohni lagri hai. Bohot..."

that shy smile she gave him…

and the recent encounter, how she had guessed it was him and how he kissed her on the hand..

He doesn't notice when he has to take a right turn.. he keeps stealing glances at her while driving the car. She's now peacefully sleeping in her seat. He lowers the car window and watches as the wind rushing in caresses her hair. She looked…. Beautiful! Just then he looks ahead and… he realizes he reached a dead end! A few feet and he'd have crashed! But thank goodness...

He applies sudden break that causes her to jerk awake-

Ishu- "ye.. kaha aagaye hum?"

she rubs her eyes sleepily and he apoligizes.

Dushyant- "oh.. uh.. sorry..."

He sighs looking away. Turning off the ignition he grimaces.

Dushyant thinks- "god! Ye sab main kya soch raha hu! Sab.. sab uss KV k bacche ki waje se!"

Ishu shakes his shoulder-

Ishu- "bhalu.. kya hua?"

Dushyant- "uh.. kuch nhi..."

Just then he closes his eyes as full head light beams reflected off the front mirror of their car hits his eyes. Immediately he looks back in the direction from where the light came. She too does the same-

A few feet away, right behind his car, is a jeep.

Confused, he gets down from the car. He walks to the jeep asking Ishu not to step out.

Ishu- "kii hogaya?"

Ishu asks, peeping out of the car window

Dushu signals her its nothing… there was no one in the jeep. But head lights are turned on.

Dushyant- "kon ho sakta hai..."

then he spots the writing on the jeep. Written on the side doors, a warning sign clearly read in block letters…

"SAB MARENGEY! KOI NAHI BACHEGA!"

there was a skull graffiti adjoining that.

Dushyant- "ye log hume.. follow kar rahe the?"

he grimaces/ perhaps he was too lost in his thoughts to notice them.

Ishu- "ohho! Kitta time lagayega!"

Before Dushu could warn her, Ishu marches out of the car towards him. She walks to him looking puzzled, she looks at the jeep and…

* dishoom *

Gunshots from everywhere take them by surprise. Ishu lets out a cry of panic, Dushu immediately pulls her close to himself and together they dodge the raining bullets and hide behind the jeep.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Ishu- "ohh! Ohh rab ji! Ye!"

Dushyant- "Shhh!"

he hugs her close and peeps to take a look at the bullets coming from other direction.

Dushyant- "pedon k peeche chupe hai! Darpok!"

Ishu- "arey par ye hai kon! kahi wo.. wo killers toh nhi..."

Dushyant- "kii pata..."

Panic grips Ishu's heart.

Dushyant- "tu yahi ruk main dekhta hu…"

he wants to run to them, catch at least one of them. The wiring is still on. He gets up gently and then remembers he didn't carry a gun!

Ishu- "main bhi chalti hu. Main bhi CID mei hu na.."

Ishu takes deep breaths.. they keep taking while squatting down on the ground behind the jeep, their arms still around each other. Dushu gives her a look-

Dushyant- "tere paas gun hai?"

Ishu- "uh… tere paas?"

Dushyant- "nhi hai!"

Ishu- "oh! hehe! Mere senior k paas nhi toh mere paas kaise hoga!" * pulls a cute face *

Dushyant- *smiles sweetly * "aahan! Kitni mahan bangayi yar tu! Iss mushkil ghadi mei tune maanliya main tera senior hu. Warna tu har waqt ladti rehti hai mujhse-"

the firing stops momentarily. Dushyant senses this… May be they were out of bullets!

Before Ishu can say anything, he jumps to his feet and dashes towards the trees…

.

.

*gun shots again… *

.

.

Panicked, Ishu too gets up, she dodges the bullets… a bullet nearly misses her shoulder… she lies flat on the ground for a moment to save herself while still shouting for her Bhaalu…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

a moment later, it's all gone silent!

Ishu- "huh?"

Ishu blinks as she gets to her feet…

.

.

.

.

There's no sound anywhere. Checking her watch, she knows its 11:30 PM. The night is back to how it was. Eerily quiet.

Ishu- "bhaalu!"

panic stricken, she looks for him. Gone are the attackers and with them Dushyant was also gone…

Ishu- "bhaalu!"

she runs to the trees on the side of the road, behind which everyone disappeared. Everything is pitch dark and calm…

Ishu- "BHAALUU!"

There's no answer! she runs back to the car to grab her cell phone…

.

.

.

..

.

..

.

.

..

.

.

panicked, she is about to dial KV's number when she hears a cool voice behind her-

Dushyant- "bhaag gaye! Haat lag jaate toh!"

she turns around abruptly, there is her bhaalu, walking towards the car, rolling his sleeves up, looking agitated…

Ishu- "bhaalu!"

Instantly, she runs to hug him… letting free those tears she had been holding back.. for a moment he is taken aback and then finally understands why she ran to him-

Dushyant- "hey! Ohh! Billi tu… tu dargayi thi?"

he puts his arms around her, hugging her back..

Dushyant- "I'm sorry! Main unke peeche laga tha! Bhool gaya ki.. tu… tu akeli thi.. aur dar jayegi..."

she gently parts from the hug to hit him…

Ishu- "darr?" * breaks hug to hit him * "arey jaan nikal gayi meri! tu.. mujhe laga tujhe kuch hogaya! Main,.. main kya karti…"

she hugs him again.. and he hugs her tight this time… he knows she's about to cry and he shouldn't just let her-

Dushyant- "I know.. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Main thik hu. Dekho.. aagaya hu na tere paas."

Ishu- "haan..."

she nods. He makes her look at him and wipes her tears…

Dushyant- "ohho! Itne mei aagaye aasu… kitna wadda tank leke ghoomti hai inn aankho mei… huh? Dekh.. thik hu na main? Haan? so smile..."

she just presses her lips tight.

Dushyant- "arey… smile karo na billi..."

he gives her a smile, she gently smiles back and just then it hits her-

Ishu- "wo log! Wo log zarur wohi hai! Jo humare pariwar ko maarna chahte hai! Maine bola na.. wohi hai!"

Dushyant- "billi..."

panic strikes her again.. she goes on with a tensed tone-

Ishu- "haan! Wohi hai! Maine bola na tujhe!" * holds his kurta * "bola naa tujhe! Mere saat rahega toh tujhe bhi nhi chodenge! Aaj! Aaj teri bhi jaan jaa sakti thi! Isliye toh! main kehrahi thi na… mere dost mat bano!"

Dushyant- "sshhh-"

he places a finger on her lips to shush her..

Dushyant- "pagal hai kya? Hum toh humesha se dost the. Main kya nayi nayi dosti kar raha tha tujhse?"

Ishu- "par! Tune dekha na! Aaj tujhe kuch-"

Dushyant- "kuch nhi hua mujhe! Main changa hu. Vekh mainu! Nhi lagda changa?"

she just looks at him, fresh tears flowing down her cheeks… he brushes them away with his fingers and cups her cheeks…

Dushyant- "tera bhaalu thik hai.. koi uska kuch nhi bigaad sakta… aur jab tak wo zinda hai.. uski billi ka bhi koi kuch nhi bigaad sakta… I promise… aur uski family… unko bhi kuch nhi hoga…."

that makes her smile faintly…

Dushyant- "arey bas itna… mujhe aur waddi smile chahiye… come on! Tera bhalu thik hai yar! Iss khushi mei hi sahi…."

urged by him she smiles big, her eyes still moist. And then like on an impulse, she stands up on her toes and places a soft kiss on his cheek… his eyes close at the sensation…

The kiss lasts for a moment, in the next moment she's away from him, looking down…

Just when she's chiding herself for her childish act, he lifts her face up, gently holding her chin. In the next instant his lips touch her forehead.

She smiles at that gesture. It's like an assurance. That they will be there for each other….

She puts her arms around him and hugs him again. He too invites the hug and they stand there like two puzzle pieces who fit together.

.

.

Eyes closed, smiles on faces, they are unaware that someone is closing up on them, with a revolver in his hand…

*GUN SHOT *

A gun shot causes them to jump apart.. and they look at each other in utter shock….

.
