Ashi- (smiles) I promise.

Tk- (smiles) Ask.

Ashi- Are you the tanzeel whom police wants to catch?

Tk- Yes.

Ashi- Means you are involved in illegal smuggling?

Tk- (no reply)

Ashi- The cab that waited was sent by you?

Tk- Yes.

Ashi- By now you know everything about me?

Tk- Not much.

Ashi- Sanket is with you in all this?

Tk- (no reply)

Ashi- You don't help people you kill them right (tears dwell in her eyes) Why did you save me? (she makes an eyes contact with Tk)

Tk moves his hand to rest on Ashi's cheek wiping the tears from his thumb. He takes the ointment from Ashi's hand and makes her sit on the sofa, himself going on knees. He gently holds both her hands.

Tk- Why were you crying?

Ashi- But that isn't my answer.

Tk- (looks with an angry look) But I need mine first.

Ashi- Can I trust you?

Tk- Do you want to?

Ashi lowers her head and whispers a yes avoiding any eye contact.

Tk- Then tell me?

Sanket- (comes)Oh I'm sorry.

Tk- What happened?

Sanket- Nothing I'll go back.

Ashi- Wait. (sanket looks at her) honey?

Sanket- She is okay. Don't worry. (leaves)

Tk- Now tell me what made you cry?

Ashi- You want to know?

Tk- (nods)

Ashi- Tarun. He was my boyfriend from past two years. But weeks before we broke up. I loved him but he didn't. That night I saw him in the club with a girl. (crying) I was feeling hurt so I left the place without telling Aash and you saved me.

Tk hugged her without any second thoughts. Ashi hugged him back tightly.

Ashi- I never thought he'll leave me.
Tk- (rubs her back) It's okay.

Ashi realises that he is Tanzeel and she immediately pushes him back.

Ashi- You'll too harm me. You kill everybody. You will kill me too.
Tk- I won't kill you. Look at me Ashi.
Ashi- No you will.

Ashi keeps pushing tk back while tk keeps on holding her. Finally ashi gives up and let's Tk hold her.

Tk- Ashi first stop crying. (wipes tears from her face and kisses her forehead) I know I'm not a good person. I'm involved in several activities you wouldn't even want to know . But we are not inhuman to kill everybody we see. The news portrays us evil but we aren't that evil. We..
