"Sir....aaplog ko yahan se thodi dur pr ek park hai wahan zarur jana chahiye.....Delhi ki shaan mei ek nayab Tara hai woh.."(Sir.....there's a park in a short distance from here you should check it out.......it's a star in Delhi's glory) the driver said in excitement, "nhi kaka hotel le chaliye.."(no take us to the hotel) Reena spoke politely much to the driver's dismay, he really wanted to show his city to his hero, he wanted to insist but a look at his hero shattered him, Rocky seemed sad. He had always heard of Rocky being the Monster but seeing him sad broke something inside the poor old follower. He shared a look with Reena who ensured him that he is fine. He just nodded and started driving. Reena was silently consoling Rocky by wrapping his arm into hers and caressing his hand, he must be remembering something which was close to him but what was the question that worried her, he has only been close to her mother whom he lost....but that didn't seem the case right now, then what or rather who?! The kids reminded Rocky of him, how he loved eating chat and wouldn't speak until his stomach asked loudly for it. The car suddenly stopped breaking their trance, "andha hai kya re....yahi gadi mili marne ko..."(are you blind....you found this car only to die) The driver scolded, the man looked in trance more like in depression and didn't move until the driver honked the car. He suddenly shrugged as is he came back to his senses, when the figure became clear to Reena she saw that it was the same man from Asaav's house that came running down the stairs and disclosed about their power to Asaav. Reena without thinking twice called him and pulled down the window, " tum toh Asaav ke aadmi hi na yahan kya kr rhe ho..-"(you are Asaav's men so what are you doing here) "marna hai toh goli se mar na aise gadi ke samne kahe kud rha hai.."(if you want to die get shot why are you jumping infront of the car) Rocky interrupted her, Ravi's eye filled with tears. "Bhai ek baar dekh lo...."(bhai just look at once..) He spoke his voice hoarse as if he was trying very very very hard to speak and only that much was able to make its way out of him. Hearing his words Reena felt her gut twist she looked at Rocky who was already looking her as if her eyes had answers of this scenario. Reena just asked him toh get in the car and they pulled over to the hotel. The ride was quite except a few sobs and sniffs of Ravi no sound was heard. Once they were seated in the room Rocky finally spoke, "kon ho tum....aur kaise jante hi mughe?"(who are you....how do you know me?) Ravi looked at him and then at Reena and then back his lap, "mai bas aapko hi nhi.....Reena ko bhi janta hu"(not only you ...i know Reena also) the couple shared a look and Reena came and sat beside Rocky, "kaise"(how) she spoke in an almost inaudible voice, Rocky and Reena had a guy feeling about this guy since he asked Rocky to look at him at once......and the feeling said they knew him. "Reena tumhe woh ldka yaad hai jo ek lauta tha.....joki tumhe propose krne ke baad bhi ek piece mei tha......"(Reena you remember that guy who was the only one....the one who proposed you and yet was in one piece...) He chuckled, tears in his eyes and then continued "joki ek lauta ldka tha tumhare friend circle mei.....jisse tum sachme dost manti thi.....jo....j-jo gayab ho gya tha"(the one and only guy in your friend circle.....whom u really considered one....one....o-one who vanished) his voice choked speaking the last part. It was Ravi, Reena's best friend, he was like family to her, when none can handle her he was successful in calming her even Rajendra was impressed with this boy. "Kahan the tum Ravi"(where were you Ravi) she said hugging him, the duo cried with a smile plastered on their faces, "zindagi se lad rha tha meri jaan"(in a war with life darling) he said breaking the hug and laughing, "abhi teri biwi suni hoti toh kha jati tughe"(if your wife would have heard it right now she would have swallowed you) Reena said remembering how his girlfriend used to beat him when he used such endearments for Reena, it wasn't like she disliked her but she playfully used to hit him along with Reena. "Tum mughe kaise jante ho"(how do you know me) Rocky asked, he has had enough of this milap(reunion) how dare he called his Shona Jaan, He Proposed Her, he was the only male friend, HE HUGGED HER INFRONT OF HIM, Ravi was quiet, this is going to be a tough one Ravi thought mustering up all his courage, "Bhai.....mai woh bacha hu jisko aapne 1973 mei human trafficking batch se bachaya tha...."(bhai....i am that kid you saved in 1973 from a human trafficking batch...) He said in one breath. Rocky's eyes went wide and moisture was evident in it. Yeh kaise ho skta hai...(how is this possible...)Rocky mumbled unconsciously. Ravi was the only one whom he thought as a brother back then, to whom he got connected ever at that time after his mother, he hugged him tight without thinking anything else, Reena joined the hug. ROCKY FOUND HIS BROTHER AND REENA TOO. "Yeh sab kaise hua....tu in sab Mai kaise..!!??"(how did this happen....how you end up in these...!!??) And the most difficult question was asked to Ravi and Rocky was trying to get ready for his miserable life story, "mughe laga aap nhi puchoge"(I thought you wouldn't ask) Ravi said with a false chuckle,knowing that was not possible and his Bhai would anyways ask him about his past&present situation, "mughe laga tu mughe chor ke chala gya....."(I thought you left me...) Ravi looked at him in disbelief and finally started his story, "uss raat ko aap bahar gye the....chacha ne bola ki Rocky ko late hoga isiliye mai hi aapke pass aa rha tha....mai uss din aapko apna sach btane wala tha.....aur apne maa baap ke katil ko dhundne ko bolne wala tha....lekin raste mei.... nukkad ke pas 5 logo ne mughe gher liya....mai lada bhai sachme bhot lada-"(that night you went outside.....chacha told me that you might come late so I went out to look for you.....I wanted to tell you my truth that day.......and was about to ask you... to find out the murderers of my parents....but on my way....beside the stall.....5 men surrounded me...i swear I fought bhai, i fought hard-) he broke down "lekin unhone mere sir pr mara....jab ankh khuli mai ek auction mein tha.....wahan se Asaav ne mughe kharid liya.....aur uske liya kaam Krna meri majburi ban gyi... Aur meri majburi meri zindagi kab ban gyi pta hi nhi chala"(but they hit my head.....when I came to my senses i was in an auction....Asaav bought me from there......and working for him became my obligation.....and when my obligation became my life i don't know) Rocky wrapped him and Reena caressed his hair. It was as if he was hiding it all for these many years. Finally he lost his consciousness, Reena called the gaurds to help Rocky put Ravi in bed.
Ravi woke up at night and saw Reena "wah jag gya.....chal khane ko bhot bhuk lagi..." "Aata hu.....fresh ho lu" Ravi replied earning a hmm and nod from his friend. Few days ago he was searching for Mallika the ultimate enemy of his boss, him, but when her face got downloaded on the computer screen he lost his senses, he hid it from Asaav but when Alex came running to them he couldn't hide it anymore. Today when he say his Bhai and his Jaan infront of Asaav's gunpoint, he felt the world spin around and without a thought he stood infront of Asaav, but when they both didn't recognise him something broke inside him which he was unaware of, his heart. His heart wanted to cry, back then he couldn't, but when he pour his heart infront of the couple he felt as if the biggest burden was off of him. Now he felt alive after all these years, after 1973.
The trio ate their dinner laughing and cheering, the besties remembering the past events and their mischievous acts throughout their student life, Rocky felt odd one out but enjoyed seeing his Shona and his brother happy and was enjoying the stories of Reena's school life.
Rocky stood in the balcony, refreshing breezing playing with his hair and shirt and the moonlight doing its wonder on his figure, Reena came and back hugged Rocky, her hands on his chest. "Shona iss Asaav ko marna hoga....."(Shona Asaav has to die....) Reena tightened her grip "Rocky hame usse marna nhi khatam Krna hoga jadd se"(Rocky we don't have to kill him we have to destroy him from the roots) he turned and hugged her, "bhot jald"(very soon) Rocky spoke remarking the start of Asaav's end.
