Anamika and Vineet were warmly welcomed by Aakash and his wife Aarti.

Anamika Vineet smiled at them and greeted them for the anniversary.

''Mujhe laga hi nahi tum dono aaoge. Pehle kam se kam dono se contact toh tha par jab se dono ne shadi ki hai humse toh jaise koi wasta hi nahi dono ka bas khud mei busy ho!'' Aarti complained.

These four are college mates. The whole college was aware of Anamika's and Vineet's love story.

Anamika shook her head,''aisa nahi hai yaar, bas thode busy the kaam ki wajah se!'' Anamika says convincingly.

''Haan haan! Hamein bahut acche se pata hai tum kis kaam mein busy rehte ho.'' Abhilekh, one of their college friends, says teasingly, clinging on Aakash's shoulder.

Vineet smacks his head.

''Dekha! Kuch bolo nahi ki iss romeo ko pehle hi gussa chadh jaata hai.'' He teases him.

''Toh! Biwi hai meri, ye meri duty hai ki agar koi usko pareshan kare toh main usse bachau!'' Vineet exclaims, his friends gaze at him.

''Jab ye mera, meri Maa ka, mere bache ka aur saath hi hamare aas pass ke logon ka itna khayal karti hai sabko khush rakhti hai toh ye meri bhi zimmedaari banti hai na ki main apni biwi ko khush rakhu! Over that, when she's making so much effort to make me proud, aise mei meri zimmedaari aur badh jaati hai,samjhe!'' Vineet states, surprising others as he's not a person who is this practical while Anamika understands what he means. She's touched to know that he's proud of her.

She instantly pecks his lips, surprising their friends.

''Wooooooo!!!'' The sound alerted the guests.

''Aab toh ek gaana banta hai Vineet! Aaj puraani yaade in taaza ho hi jaaye!'' Aakash insisted, reminiscing about their college days when Vineet used to sing romantic songs for Anamika in every party they join.

Vineet denies but they insist, he gazes at Anamika who nodded while he smiles shyly and agrees.

Chal bandh ley pairo mein ghungharu

Chal bandh ley pairo mein ghungharu

Chal bandh ley pairo mein ghungharu

Chal bandh ley pairo mein ghungharu

Ishq ishq ishq o teraa ishq

The girl gang teases Anamika taking his name, actually insisting her to sing for him.

Anamika smiles, pinning her lips and looking at him.

Pyar hame pyar tum kitna karte ho

He he he o ho ho

Pyar hame pyar tum kitna karte ho

She walked over to him asking him the same question drooling around him.

Yar mere yar hampe kitna marte ho

He he he o ho ho

Vineet holds her hand and pulls her such that she dashed to his chest. He traced his finger on her cheek and lips.

He bol raha teri aankh kaa kajal

Dil hai meraa tere ishq mein pagal

Aur jyada main kya bolu rey

He raises his brows, she wink at him and pushes away.

Ho pyar hame pyar

Pyar hame pyar tum kitna karte ho

He he he o ho ho

Yar mere yar hampe kitna marte ho

He he he o ho ho

She runs to the other side and joins her gang, Vineet watches her smiling coyly as they tease her.

His gang came over for his rescue.

Shava, main tere husn kaa mastana

He teri iss chal peh mar jana

Nasha tujhe sau botal kaa

Teri masti kaa main pyasa

He complimented her, Aarti pushed her towards him, she landed in his arms. He makes designs in her exposed area of shoulder, his eyes gazing at her af if wanting to drown in her eyes.

Hai mere pichhe yeh sara jamana

Dal naa mujhpe too aise dana

Dekho ji dekho tum yu naa

Behko hosh me aa jao

She pouts, reminding him that they are in a party and he should keep control over his feelings.

He grin and twirl her around,

O pehle nach kudiye mere nal

Nach kudiye mere nal

He holds her from.behind, trying to kiss her shoulder but she frees herself.

Pyar hame pyar tum kitna karte ho

He he he o ho ho

Yar mere yar hampe kitna marte ho

He he he o ho ho

Hadippa o balle balle o shava shava

She stands at a distance while gazing at him.

Samajhati hoon main diljani

He teri niyat mein beimani

Bana key jhuthe afsane chhed

Naa mujhko deewane

She warns him, enlarging her eyes. He pin his lower lips between his teeth, smiling at her innocently.

Hai tere dam se yeh meri kahani

Tere siwa kya yeh zindagani

Too jo kahe toh tujhpe ai janan

Jan luta doon main

His words melt her anger. She holds his hands.

O pehle nach mahiya mere nal

Nach soneya mere nal

They twirl around each other, their friends and guests join them.

Ho pyar hame pyar

Tum kitna karte ho

He he he o ho ho

Yar mere yar hampe kitna marte ho

He he he o ho ho

Couples were getting intoxicated with the romantic song.

Bol raha teri aankh kaa kajal

Dil hai meraa tere ishq mein pagal

Aur jyada main kya bolu rey

Ho pyar hame pyar tum kitna karte ho

He he he o ho ho

Yar mere yar hampe itna marate ho

O ho ho a ha ha

Pyar hame pyar tum kitna karte ho

He he he o ho ho

Yar mere yar hampe itna marate ho

O ho ho a ha ha

Soon the hall was overjoyed with love and laughter.

Aakash and Aarti cut came and fed each other. Guests shower them with gifts and love cards, the couple seem happy.

With all the fun, the party came to an end. Guests took their leave, so did Vineet and Anamika.

***

They stand on the road, leaning their back on their car, holding hands, staring blankly at each other but with silent lips, not even a single word escapes their mouth.

''Kya hua? Kabse chup ho, kuch kehna hai kya?'' He asks as he can read her twinkling, blinking eyes.

She shook her head negatively, snuggled closer and threw her arms around his neck.

''Kuch kehna toh nahi par jaane mann nahi kar raha tumse nazrein hatau.'' She expresses, meaningfully.

He pulls her closer, leaving no space between them. His hands trace her back and lower, earning a sweet moan from her.

''Haatane ki jarurat bhi toh nahi hai meri jaan, i'm all yours!'' He exclaims scratching her cheek with his beard.

She inhales his manly cologne and captures his lips without any warning but he reciprocates passionately.

It's been more than 15 days, she has caged herself in the room. Now, she seems happy and free from that burden.

She continued to kiss him until they were out of breath.

''I love you Vineet!'' She confesses smooching him again.

''I love you too biwi!'' He manages to say between the kisses.

And they continue, pinning each other on the car trying to dominate their body on that empty, sizzling and chilling road. Their voices were already echoing.

But, after a moment when he finds her struggling to remove his blazer, he knows she isn't going to stop right there and he doesn't want to spend his moment on the road.

He pulled away and looked at her.

''Not here biwi! Let's go back hotel!'' He says, catching his breaths.

''It will take time and I can't wait that long.'' She expressed, scanning him shamelessly, it seems she had already undressed him in her wild fantasy.

''Ye residential area hai biwi, we can't do it here.'' He reasoned.

She pouts, staring at him dreamingly, activating his hormones with her sexy looks.

And he gave up. Pulling her close asks her if they can continue with their romance in the car to which she agrees happily.

''Open it!'' She says caressing his jaw line with her lips.

He inserted his hand in his pocket to take out the keys only to realise that he had forgotten them inside.

Anamika grunts knowing that.

''Just a minute, i'll be back!'' He said and ran inside to grab his keys.

Anamika watches him going.

All of the sudden she was feeling scared of losing him. She feels she would lose him and never see him again. She doesn't know why but the feeling was hunting her. Her mind was getting numb, all she wanted right now was to spend her night in his warm arms, making love to him.

Anamika shook her head and turned away, he will be here in a minute and she will get what she wants. She shouldn't be thinking about anything else.

She sighs deeply and turns, feeling a tap on her shoulder.

Her spine weakens and her legs tremble to see the person standing before her. He's the same guy against whom she filed a complaint but he was in jail.

''T..tu..tum!'' She stammered taking a back step but collided with his goons.

''Haan apun! Tereko kya laga tu apun ke khilaf shikayat karegi aur apun chup rahega?

He holds her arm and pulls her.

''Bhagwan ne itni aachi sakal surat deala hai, itni rapchik si body hai aur upar se ek romeo bhi. Tereko toh usko khush rakhne ko mangta hai par tu apun ke piche padd gayi, kyun ladki?'' The guy questions and holds her hair pulling them harshly while tilting her head.

Anamika tries to free herself but he only tightens his grip.

He trails his finger on her shoulder and cleavages.

''Itna khubsurat badan diya hai bhagwan ne tereko aur tu apna deemag chala rahi hai wo bhi kissi aur ke liye, kyun?? Tera pati tujhe bhao nahi deta kya?'' He questions shamelessly and laugh.

Anamika pushes him away and slaps him hard. Earning a slap from him such that she fell on the ground.

''Pyar se nai maanegi tu apun ki baat.'' He rolls his eyes and slaps her again, blood oozes out from her cheek getting cracks with his hard slap.

He holds her by hair and pulls her up.

''Tu apun ko saja dilaayegi? Tere maafit laakon aaye aur gaye par apun ka kuch nahi bigad sake.'' He growls and hits her head on the car window. The glass broke down in pieces, blood stains rolling down her head.

''Tera woh hasar karega apun ki kabhi koi apun ke khilaf awaz na utha paaye.'' He shouted and punched her in the face.

Anamika wasn't able to even shout for help, she was already losing consciousness but was alive.

The guy was not satisfied yet, his hands were soaked in her blood but her still beating heart beat was an unpleasant sound for him.

He gazes at his goon who nodded and passed him a sharp knife which he stabbed in her stomach mercilessly. A loud cry escapes her mouth, blood thrown out by her mouth and she falls down on the ground after 9 - 10 repeated stabs from him.

The guy was sure that she wouldn't survive and so he left from there with his goons.

Vineet returned with the keys smiling and blushing as his friends were teasing him inside as they saw him romancing.

Ruffling his hair, he exits the hotel only to get the biggest shock of his life.

Anamika was lying on the floor, drenched in her own blood fighting to breathe.

Vineet ran to her, he held her in his arms, tears making their way down his cheek.

She looked at him, gave a fainting smile and tried to hold his face. Her fear had come true, she would be leaving him at any moment and never come back to hold him in her arms or kiss his warm lips. She won't get his warm touches anymore.

Vineet shouted for help, he cried out loud in her condition cursing himself for leaving her alone.

She wipes his tears with her finger asking him not to cry, she smiles at him.

''D...don't cry...b....baby!!!! Main...main nahi chahti...chahti...tum mujhe...ro ke..vida karo..!!" Anamika says in a breaking tone, her breaths were uneven.

Vineet cups her face,''nahi!! Nahi!! Tumhe kuch nahi hoga biwi!! Main tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga!!" He cries, shouting again for help.

Anamika holds his hand,"Jaan!!! Tumse ek aakhri chij Manvi!!" She looks at him with hope, knowing her end is near she wants something from him while he finds her talking nonsense.

''Tum kyun aisi baatein kar rahi ho, tumhe kuch nahi hoga!!" He says grievously.

She smiles, ''fir bhi...m... main chahti hoon..tum mujh se...ek..wada..karo!! Main..rahu ya..na..rahu..tum dusro ki...help..karoge!!! Kabhi...kabhi kissi..ki..madad..madad..karne se..piche na hatoge... Wada karo tum.. Jaan!!!'' Her breaths break, she takes a deep breath as she holds his shirt in her fist, struggling to breath.

Vineet immediately holds her hand,''wada!!!" He promises her, a smile forms on her lips. She tries to lift herself to peck his lips one last time but fails, she falls in his arms, her smile feds - - for forever!!

Vineet screams out, he tries to wake her, his loud cries and screams still doesn't get him any help.
