Lag ja gale ki phir ye

Hasin raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir is janam
Mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag jaa gale

Vansh's thoughts were interupted by Angre . 

Angre: Boss we have to leave for the flight . 

Vansh : I am coming . 

Vansh sighed . He moved to the washroom and looked into the mirror. 

Vansh : Kitna kuch badal gaya na . 3 years , no call , no text . Nothing . Tum mere pass nahi ho . Meri galti thi manta hu magar tumhari bhi toh thi . Tum bata sakti thi kabir aur tumhare bare mein . Bata sakti thi ki ragini ko tumne safe house se nikala tha . Bata sakti thi ......

(In Vansh's private jet ) 

Angre : Bhai aap aur kitne din yeh karte rahenge ?? Bhabhi se mil lijiye ! Aur kitne din unse chup chup kar milenge . 

Vansh : Angre usse milne ka maan karta hain . Bohot karta hain magar joh galti ki hain uski saza milni chahiye mujhe . Woh khush hain Sydney mein , aur main khush hu usse khush dekhkar . Main phir uske life mein wapas jaunga aur phir uski life mein problems hongi . Woh khush hain apni ma , behen aur dosto ke saath . Usne bohot kuch saha hain . Life ne pehle usse uske parents le liye ; phir Kabir se usee pyar mein dokha mila . Phir maine ......

Khair abhi usse uski ma aur behen wapas mil gaye hain aur woh life mein move on kar chuki hain . Aur khabar hain ki Vaibhav naam se koyi hain uske hi hospital mein jisse shayad ... ( Vansh's voice cracked ) 

Angre: Then unpe spy karna chor dijiye bhai . Aaap khud ko mentally aur physically aur kitna torture karenge .

Vansh : Torture ?? Maine usse torture kiya tha kisi aur ko apna patni announce karke . I wish I could be a better me for her . But it is too late Angre . 

Aur spy karta hoon mere khub ke sukoon ke liye . Woh thik hain jankar khub thik rahene ki koshish karta hoon .

Angre : Bhai aap abhi Syndey jakar ek bar bhi nahi milenge bhabhi se ? 

Vansh kept quiet . He wanted to meet her , embrace her and never leave but alas he couldn't . 

{The flight landed in Sydney ; Vansh and Angre attended a meeting } 

Angre : Bhai can we go and eat somewhere ; I am very hungry aur iss ke baad do meeting hain 

Vansh : Ha . Thik keh rahe ho . Let's go eat at a restaurant . Yaha aate waqt ek Italian restaurant dekha zaroor tha . " Oh tesoro " is the name of the restaurant .It is down the street .

Angre : Thik hain then chalte hain .

[At the restaurant ] 

Vansh : ( to himself ) Aisa kyun lag raha hain ki woh yahi kahi hain . Ekbar bar Edin se paa kar leta hoon { Edin is the spy appointed by Vansh to keep a check on Riddhima } 

Vansh ( on call with Edin ) :  What's the update ?? Abhi woh kaha par hain ??

Edin : Boss ! Aaj unhe apne dosto ke saath lundch par jana tha . Maine abhi location track karke apko message karti hoon .

Vansh ( ending the call ) : ' Oh tesoro ' ka matlab pata hain tumhe Angre ?

Angre : Pata nahi boss 

Vansh : Tesoro means sweetheart . Kitni ajeeb baat hain nah . Yaha aate hi sab kuch ussi ki yaad dila raha hain .

Suddenly the screen of Vansh's phone flashed. Edin had messaged the name of the restaurant Riddhima was going with her friends. 

The message said : Oh Tesoro 

Vansh suddenly felt as if it was her . He turned his head toward his right . ... and then stop. A heartbeat. A jolt of recognition.

Riddhima was  adjusts her scarf as she enters the restaurant with her firends . For some reason she turns to her left as if she feels it too, a magnetic pull. Her head turns sharply, her eyes landing on him sitting with Angre at a table not so far from her . 

The world slows. The hum of the city fades into a muffled, dreamlike hush. Snowflakes seem to hang suspended in the air. Their eyes lock, and for a moment, it's as if the last three years collapse into nothingness. 

None of them was ready to break the eye contact . Dono ki aankhe woh keh rahi thi joh woh dono ek dusre kabhi keh bhi nahi paye . 

Riddhima : ( to herself) Kyu kyu Tin saal baad aana tha tumhe . Saab kuch toh khatam kar ki chuke the aab kyu aye . Mera dil kar raha hain ki uske paas dour kar chali jau magar woh phir mera dil ko tor dega . Riddhima uski shaadi ho chuki hain samajh . Uski biwi hain . Maat aane emotions ko bahar .

Vansh :( to himself )  She's still the same. But... she's different to. kuch hain uski aankho mein jo pehle nahi tha . Vansh, what are you doing here? You're not ready for this. You thought seeing her would... what? Fix something? You knew in Sydney you would see her . Why did you come . No no should I go talk to her . Would she be mine again . 

The sound of a distant car horn jolts them both back to reality. The tension in the air is almost tangible, a mix of unspoken words, lingering love, and the sharp edges of old wounds.

A man: Hey Riddhu waha kyu khari hain . Order karte hain . Aaja 

Riddhima jolted back to reality 

Riddhima : (herself ) It is over  Nothing is there . He is not mine No No i will not go back 

Riddhima moves to her table and forces herself to start a converaation with her friends .

Vansh :(whispering) Still the same. Still her. (beat, a touch of regret) And I'm still me.

He looks down at the table, his shoulders slumping. The sound of the restaurant fills the space again as the moment slips away.
