Kuchh Ankahi Baatein

Darr

They all move together in groups from all the directions towards the goons... seeing so many boys and girls coming towards them, they plan to leave the place and start running out from there. One of the goons, was carrying Naina on his shoulder, throw her down and tried to hit her from a thick wood log to kill before they leave, when Rohan and Sameer pushed him hard from back and make him fall far from her......

Rohan, Munna and Priyank run towards the goon to catch them joining with others, but he got up and start running with other goons from there... they all start chasing them quite far but after few distance they board their jeep and run from there.... here Sameer run towards Naina and take her into his embrace tightly....

He caressed her face with his hands.. he cradled her to support her, pushed the hairs out of her face, and wiped her tears.... he removed the cloth tied and open her mouth, till then Swati opened ropes from her legs and Sameer opened her hands.... She hugged him back and cried uncontrollable, completely shattered.....

Sameer saw her top was slightly torn from sleeves, he immediately removes his jacket and cover her to avoid seeing by anyone, his own eyes were misty, he patted her back and head to console her, who was sobbing relentlessly... she was lying completely broken in his arms.. he controlled his anger and pain as he has to be strong for her but didn't get courage to utter a single word...

All boys came back panting heavily... Munna, "saale bhaag gaye yaar.... Looking at Swati, " Naina theek hai?... isse jyaada kahin lagi toh nahin"... Swati wiping her tears caressed on her hair and asked, "Naina tu theek hai na"... Naina turned to her, Swati & Preeti pulled her into a tight hug, and all three cried, shedding uncontrollable tears.....

JBR : Sameer, chalo yahaan se Naina ko lekar... yeh jagah safe nahin hai... aur sab ek saath rehna, koi akele kahin nahin jayega, shaam bhi hone wali hai ..." saying this he asked everyone to move....

Sameer and Preeti helped her to get up holding her tightly.. she stood up and looked at Sameer helplessly, knowingly she doesn't have her crutches to walk Sameer & Munna hold her tightly from both the sides and help her to walk slowly.... few distance covered but that was too much for her to losing all strength left in her... seeing her so week and unable to walk any more, Sameer silently bent and pick her up in his arms without asking... seeing her in worst condition no one said anything & even appreciate his concern for her .....

They all were so scared that no one said or talk anything while returning, just assuring all are safe now.....she keep on looking at him while wrapping her hands in his neck, so close to him, but Sameer was totally quiet, not even seeing at her face nor in her eyes, feeling guilty on himself for not able to save her again ....

They all reached back at dhaaba where all other friends and teachers were waiting for them..... Sameer make her sit on a chair when Priya brings water... she wash her face and hand when Sameer noticed few scratches and wounds on her wrist... a small cut mark was visible now near to her lips at left side as someone might have slapped her hard... Sameer closed his eyes to control his tears and anger..... Rohan came and hugged him tightly to console him...

Sameer caressed his head and asked, "tu kaisa hai... dard jyaada hai kya.. dikha mujhe" he touched his head, back side on his wound, but Rohan assure him, "mein theek hun... tu theek hai... tu aise ghabrayega toh Naina ko kaun sambhalega... dekh kitna darr gayi hai... ek shabd bhi nahin boli itni der se... ja jaakar usse baat kar" Sameer turned and looked at her crying silently....but didn't get courage to talk to her, feeling so helpless....

After few minutes, JBR asked everyone to board the bus to continue the journey as they are already very late now... all starts heading towards bus when Sameer noticed Karthik standing there silently and looking at them... he mouthed "Thanks" to him with a fade smile.. Karthik put hand on his shoulder and said, "dhyan rakhna" and left in other bus... Sameer lift her in his arms and board the bus... all settled on their seats same as previously...
