सिंगार तेरा यौवन, यौवन ही तेरा गहना

 सिंगार तेरा यौवन, यौवन ही तेरा गहना

 तू ताज़गी फूलों की, क्या सादगी का कहना

 उड़े खुशबू जब चले तू, उड़े खुशबू जब चले तू, 

बोले तो बजे सितार 

ना कजरे की धार ना मोतियों के हार

 ना कोई किया सिंगार

 फिर भी कितनी सुंदर हो

 तुम कितनी सुन्दर हो

~ Na kajre ki dhar

Eeshaan's P.O.V :-

Well, the deal with Malhotra's was a great success and I promised to visit the Badrinath temple after getting this deal. So, here I am on my way to Badrinath. It's been a long time since I've gone on a solo trip with my jaan. Arrey baba, not lover wali jaan ... I meant by my Black Beauty, Meri Thar. Out of all my cars, Thar is my favorite one.

I turned on the radio and it played...

"Baachna ae haseeno,Lo mein aa gaya

Hey baachna ae haseeno lo mein aa gaya

Husn ka aashiq husn ka dushman

Apni ada hai yaaron se juda

Heyyy....Baachna ae haseeno lo mein aa gaya

Hey baachna ae haseeno lo mein aa gaya"

I took regular breaks, visited small places I could visit on my way, had food in the dhabas present on the border of the cities, and finally reached the base of the mountain where the Badrinath temple was situated. I was feeling a bit odd today. I knew it was the end of April and I would have been checking the distribution of salaries for this month if I was not here. Gosh !!! Now I understand why Maa always says to take a break from work. I stayed in a lodge for the night. I woke up early and left for the darshan. 

I had darshan successfully and was moving back to the lodge. I packed my bags and was set to move back to Udaipur. The way down there was a bit tiring. The weather changed and it started to rain heavily. I was moving my Thar slowly down the sloppy hill and suddenly applied the brakes. A girl completely drenched in rain was there in front of my car. She was scared that she may get hit by my car. I took an umbrella and torch from the passenger seat and rushed out to help her. 

Alas, I was just lost in those same beautiful honey-brown eyes.

AKSHITA'S P.O.V :-

"Huh, ma'am !! it's the last village we have to visit and then parso se back to Jaipur", Kiara said. Well, we have visited 4 villages till today and will be moving to the last village. The Sarpanch had come along with his fellow mates to pick us up from the bus stand. They all seem to be good because of their nature. It was almost 9 pm when we reached the village and thought to begin our work tomorrow.

The awareness camp was set under a huge banyan tree while the checkups for women and their children were held inside their village clinic. The ladies here are quite shy and it did not help us either. The male doctors were doing the check-ups of kids while the female doctors were talking to the women and teaching them about our main motive to come here. The usage of pads during menstruation, some contraceptive methods which could be used to avoid unwanted pregnancy, and the last topic, about their diet chart.

I was busy with one of the patients and I saw a young teen looking here and there nervously and waiting for her chance to get a check-up. I asked Kiara about how many women were left and she said that the young girl was the last one and then we could leave.

I told Kiara that I would check on her and she could inform everyone to pack their luggage and make sure to distribute the first aid things we brought for them.

The girl entered the room and was nervous. I offered her a glass of water and she sat in front of me. Her name was Shaziaa and she was 19 years old. When I told her to lie down on the bed and let me do her check-up her breathing fastened. On asking her what had happened to her, she finally said, " Di, I love someone and I'm pregnant with his child. We love each other but my grandmother has arranged my marriage with some business partner of hers. The groom she selected for me is almost twice my age... Please help m-e di!!" I was about to tell her that I couldn't help her in such matters but she was going to touch my legs. She again said," Di... I love Faizaan and I want my child to have both of us di... Please help me." The word love had always brought some chills to me. I support love. Heck, I truly believe in love. My parents and my elder brother, in both cases it was a love marriage.

Author:- Any guess what would Akshita do ?? To know this stay tuned and wait for the next chapter.

 [ Hehe... Continue the chapter guys... It's not over yet!!  ]



She said she wanted my help to make her run away from her house. As she said I was helping her by distracting the village people. I was talking to them about the development plans of their village. It was almost 6 p.m. when me and my colleagues departed from the village back to Jaipur. Everyone present here was happy and was glad that they would be enjoying their one-week holiday. I had just begun to sip my chai when the bus stopped abruptly. The Sarpanch and a few other village members had come. They asked for me. Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised but they were acting all sweet. That was sus. They said there was an emergency case in their village and promised my teammates that they would help me reach Jaipur safely.

When we reached the village back, I saw an old lady who was fuming in anger. She seemed to have a lot of power I guess. She stood up from her chair and made her way towards me. She held my hair tightly in her hand and asked me about Shaziaa. I said I don't know where she went. This is true yaar!! She just told me to distract the villagers and said that no one would be able to find out that I helped her. That old lady slapped me once, twice , thrice, and didn't stop. It began to rain heavily. I somehow managed to ask her to allow me to use the washroom.

I moved in the direction of the washroom which was near the same banyan tree and then ran away from the village. I was running down the valley and saw that the old lady and her men were following me in their jeeps. I was running without even noticing that I had reached the main road. I turned back to check whether they were following me or not. They were still chasing me. I turned in front and saw a car moving in my direction. I thought I was going to die today. The person in the car applied brakes and got down with an umbrella. He rushed towards me to help me.

Alas, I was lost in those shiny black eyes
