During nightime after eating naina suddenly felt pain in her back . She ignored it and slept. The next day she was woken up by the voices of tea sellers. She sat up from her seat. She looked at the hand which was bleeding on elbows maybe while sleeping the wounds somehow got rubbed. She got down . Arjun was sitting on his seat maybe he had already freshened up. Naina got down and said "Arjun, my elbows are bleeding". He looked at her elbows and took out his hanky to clean it and stick a band on it.

Naina went to brush. Her hair was all messed up. She came back and took out the comb from her bag. She looked at elbows and then at lakshmi who was still sleeping. The girl Maya was awake but she didn't ask her for help. Although it was a small wound it hurt like hell on folding her hands.

She handed the comb to Arjun .
"I may not comb your hair well". Naina said -"it's ok just make a ponytail". She sat in front of him. Arjun clumsily handled her hair .
"Arjun softly". "Hmmm". Maya was looking at her with envy. Arjun tied her a ponytail although it was not perfect but still good.

Naina stopped the seller and bought samosas. She said -"if I keep eating like this , my stomach will definitely be upset". After saying that she ate happily as if what she said before was just for a show. Arjun had a smile in his eyes.

In the afternoon they got off the train. The next train was in midnight. Mumbai station was very big . Naina finally took a bath in the station's bathroom. Arjun too took a bath. Naina and Arjun planned to roam around in Mumbai. When they got out of the railway station naina and Arjun went to various places.

In the evening, they entered to the beach side. Naina sat on a bench . "Arjun let's go in the water".
Arjun shook his head. Naina rolled up her trouser legs. And ran to the sea .
"Arjun, come ". Arjun stood up and went to her. There were mainly couples sitting around. Everyone was busy in their own world.

Naina looked around, there were many street lights around. The beach was decorated very beautifully.they sat on a rock. "Arjun, maybe this is the last trip as we had already traveled from Kashmir to Kerala." Arjun nodded -" maybe" . Cold wind was blowing, few strands of Naina's hair were touching her cheeks like a kiss.

She tugged them behind her ears.
When they reached the station it was already time for the train . They sat in the train . They would reach there by day after tomorrow.

Perfectly fitting the time given by panel. Naina spent most of her time passing time in train . She would sometimes think about her family. When they reached kochi it was already the day after tomorrow. They got off the train in the evening.
This time the panel didn't appear. Naina was a bit concerned, was there something wrong.

They stayed in a hotel that night. The next day they rented a car to look around. Naina was listening to music. They were travelling in a village like area. "Arjun , the panel hadn't appeared yet , is something wrong" .
Arjun also looked worried. It was evening and not many cars were passing by.

Some villagers were still on the road.
When they reached a rather secluded area. Arjun felt that situation was not right. He turned the car around and got out of their. It was dark and not a single noise. Arjun speeded up the car but some bikes still came in front of the car. He had to stop the car. The people on the bikes knocked on the window, they were threatening outside but arjun didn't open the window. They broke the window of the trunk with a hockey stick. Seeing they there was no one ahead ahead. Arjun started the car and speeded up.

But the tires punchered. In the end they somehow opened the windows. One of the man held Arjun by collar and said " handover whatever you have right now ".
Naina knew the situation could worsen if she didn't give them money.

Arjun was not ready to handover the money. But Naina gave them the puse she was carrying. "This is all we had ".
"You are smart". The man touched naina's waist . Arjun caught the man's collar . Naina quickly caught his hand " Arjun let him go ". The other three men surrounded Arjun . Even though Arjun was trained he would still be at disadvantage.

"We gave everything we had.. Naina looked at him angrily. Arjun didn't act rashly this time. He stood in front of naina like a wall. The man punched him "you are being smart , huh".
Arjun knew that if he fought with them all these five six men would team up together. He just stood there like a rock. The man knew that they didn't have anything left. They were just just talking bullshit to naina and didn't want to see

A trace of blood seeped out from corner of Arjun's mouth due to the punch. The man went away with their money. Naina hugged Arjun. She wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. Her heart was anxious the moment the Man punched Arjun.
She said "does it hurt anywhere".

Arjun shook his head. "Why, do you act so rashly , if they are saying let them say." "You will kill me from worry one day". Arjun gave her a smile . "Why would you worry about me". Arjun said smilingly.
Naina wanted to bite him to death . "Does it hurt". She said . Arjun shook his head. They were in an open area with lots of green fields around. Maybe This kind of incident were normal here that's why there were no one around.
