It has been almost two hours that Rajveer is driving. The sign board that reads that you need to turn left in order to connect to the Subhash lane which Rajveer and Naina both know will lead them to their destination - Naina's home, surprisingly is placed before its original spot as per Rajveer and Naina's knowledge. They find it weird and look towards each other in confusion.

"Agey wala turn nahi tha?",

asks Rajveer, just to cross check, looking towards Naina.

"Haan Sir tha to aagey wala hi. Phir yahan board kyun laga hai?",

Naina asks, confused.

"Aap agey hi chaliye.",

suggests Naina.

Rajveer nods his head. The other occupants of the jeep were also surprised.

Rajveer drives further towards the next turn. Upon reaching there he finds the road under construction. He beats the steering wheel in defeat.

"Raasta band hai!",

exclaims Rajveer in frustration.

"Sirji agar uss taraf hi road sign dikha rahe the to ek baar wahan se chalkar dekhte hain, kya pata koi raasta mil jaaye.",

suggests Huda.

"Haan Sir, Huda bhai bilkul theek keh rahe hain.",

suggests Ali.

All others too nod their heads respectively.

Rajveer changes the route as per suggestion but inside he finds it all wrong. He stares towards the right path quizzically whilst turning towards the wrong one!

He suddenly applies the break, hard. All the occupants after receiving the sudden jerk looks towards Rajveer in shock and asks,

"Kya hua Sir? Aapne itni zor se break kyun lagayi?"

Rajveer in an utter shock says,

"Pata nahi shayad koi paththar hai.",

and gets out his jeep to check for the obstacle.

Upon checking, he closes his eyes in pain and prays silently upon witnessing a cat been run down by his jeep. Naina gets down the jeep, staring Rajveer's expression. Walking towards the front of the jeep Naina shouts in shock, as loud as she could in her state of shock.

Rajveer who was on the other side of the jeep is sitting on his feet, looks up towards Naina and consoles her,

"It's okay Naina!"

Meanwhile others too climb down the jeep and realise what has happened.

"It's not okay Sir!",

shouts Naina.

"Aap nahi jaante iska kya matlab hai!",

says Naina.

"Kya matlab?",

asks Rajveer, knitting his brows.

"Ye ek bohot bada apshagun hai Sir. Billi ka marna aur wo bhi... wo bhi kali billi ka.",
