OVER A CUP OF COFFEE: SEPARATED BY LOVE (Season 2) Completed

The Known Unknown Date

Dev walks towards the coffee house parking his car. The waiter, his friend, runs towards him. He was pleased to see him after such a long time. Escorting Dev to his regular place, the waiter shouts "one black coffee"..
"No!" says Dev.
"Sorry.. But--"
"With time tastes changes too.. I will have a cappuccino.." Dev says.. Reminiscising Sona ordering a cappuccino in their first accidental meeting.
"Ow..Ok...One cappuccino not the black coffee" he shouts back..
"You came after a very long time.. There are some stuffs I have got to give you--" the waiter walks towards the kitchen and comes out with a packet in his hands. A silhouette is seen.. As though some one was keeping an eye upon them, listening to their conversation.

"You remember the last time you had been here, there was a girl--"
"Yup,What happened??"
"She had left a few things for YOU"
Dev looks surprised.
"She came for--"
"17 days.. I know.. Looking for me..but that was 3 years ago"
"I know sir, but then she had asked me to give it to you whenever you come.. I had hence kept these safely... Also, 3 years ago--"

"Hey Mister! One black coffee..." says Sona chirping in.

Dev looks at her astonished, but Sona pretended about not knowing him. She takes the table next to him. Her short burgundy highlighted hairs, fell on her sides covering her face. She had put up amethyst color lens,  A large pair of reading hung loose over her nose.
Dev stared into her. Her uncanny resemblance to Sona drew his attention towards her. He kept stealing glances at her.
Sona notices his activities stealthily. She removes her overcoat, revealing her smooth tanned hands. She had worn a blue short dress.
"She can't be Sona" thought Dev. "She could be looking her.. But.. Does people resemble that much??" he wondered.

An old couple enters into the coffee. It was their 70th wedding anniversary. But alas! There was no seat available for the two. Sona immediately got up and offered her seat to them. Dev smiled.

"Could I??" she asks Dev indicating if she could sit there. Dev just nods his head.

She calmly stares into Dev, all the while sipping Coffee. Dev notices her..

"Single??" Sona asks.
"Married" Dev replies. Sona looks shocked and surprised...
"Ow. Did not bring your wife along??"
"She is not around.."
Puzzled at Devs' answer.. She enquires.. "not around??"
"See.. You resemble my wife.. Hence I am speaking nicely to you..I first met her here.. And we fought.. She became my wife later.. I don't want to give her place to anyone else.. So please mind your own work."
Sona looks surprised and smiles shyly reminiscing her moments in the cafe with Dev.
"Why did I even tell her these??" Dev thinks.
"How is that--"
"Please--"
"No.. I mean I not interested in marrying you--"
" she too said so..--"
"Probably you married her.. Out of--"
Sona stops looking at the change in expression on his face.
"What do you mean??.. Who are you?? Are you--"
"Sakshi"
"Ow."
Dev looks away.
"Have a good day mister!! Do you always come here to have coffee??"
Dev stared into her..
"Thanks..but--"
"It's ok... I am not going to take you beloved wife's position" Sona says winking and smiling happily.
He pulls out the packet that the waiter had given him, as Sona walks out. And slowly opens to unveil a beautiful photo frame.

He looks shocked on seeing the photo frame. He looks about the stuffs remaing in the packet.. that flower crown.. Images from their wedding function..Sonas' apology letter for having barked at him on their first meeting.. And those dried flower bouquet she had brought along with that "sorry" note.
"How did all this--" he thought and called out to that waiter.. As the waiter comes..and was about to say..
A bullet pierces through his chest... Smearing blood all over.. Dev was shocked. He looks around and notices a man running away.. He runs behind to get hold of that man.. But in vain.

"Who was it??? Why?? What are they trying to hide from me??" he was frustrated. He packs them all into the packet and drives away.

"Is Sona alive?? I must speak to Ritwick"
He drives his car towards the ministry hoping Ritwick would be there.
But it was almost 10. He walks up to the guard and enquires about Ritwick.
Mr. Suboudh notices Dev infront of the ministry,  while driving through.. He pulls up the window and calls someone.
