Ananya's POV
More than a month has passed after that incident but Dabbu's wound is still fresh.It's not that he is 24×7 sad but I can feel that he is broken from inside despite of his nonsense acting.His bond with Ray is becoming better nowadays.He used to spent some time with him as Balveer .Most of the time Ray Shares his memory with Maa and Papa and this increases his pain .I still don't want to recall that night when I found him in that state.For the first time in his life Balveer is not able to hide his feelings.
"Bhabhi ,aaj Valentine Day ka kya plan hai"Said Mehar sitting beside me and then I remember that today is Valentine's day and this is my First Valentine which is worth celebrating.Looking at my face Mehar got to know that I have forgotten this day.
"Kya Bhabhi,Ballu ke sath reh kar aap bhi uski tarah ho gayi ho.At least kuch to romantic karo"She said.
No I am not like dabbu.He is more romantic than me . Actually I am too much shy when it comes to be romantic.But I have to do something for him but what?
Dev's POV
We are in the college from morning and everyone is celebrating Valentine's day .I recall how last time I wished her Valentine.Then I didn't know why I want to wish her but Today I know she is special for me.Taking a red rose,I go toward her when she is coming out from her classroom with some more students.
"Happy Valentine's Day"I said with smile and she looks at me with smile.I know she can see my pain no matter how much I tried to hide my pain but she smiles pretending that she can't see my pain .So that, smile of my face will not disappear.
"Thank you"She said taking rose from my hand.
"Sirf Thank you"I said disappointed.Isn't she supposed to say same.
"Ha,thank you"She said shrugging her shoulder and moves forward."ab kya rose lene ke liye sorry bolu"
"To tumhe mujhse kuch nhi kehna"I said following her.
"kaha to ,Thank you"She said looking at me by turning back and I follow her .In the whole journey ,I am waiting to hear Happy Valentine's day from her mouth but she is saying everything except that.So ,I can't even except a Valentine's day wish from my wife.Entering the house ,I directly goes in my room, putting my bag at it's place ,I storm out not waiting for any chance to talk with her.
After spending some time with Vivan and hearing Dadaji's encyclopaedia ,I go to meet Ray but not before giving some time to girpade ji as he is stuck in a complicated case, according to him.Meeting with Ray has mixed effects on me .It feels good when our relationship is improving day by day.But his every talks turns toward his childhood memories with Maa and his father.May be he is trying to introduce my parents to me .But His talks also includes his father which is like salt on my wound.
I return home , spent some time with my family,have dinner,and now I am in my room after spending whole Valentine's day with everyone except Ananya.So, Ananya has successfully spoilt my whole Valentine day but where she is?.I have seen her entering in the room.Door of bathroom is open too.I was wondering when I recieved her letter (For Nakabposh).
"Happy Valentine's Day Mystery Man"
A smile automatically come on my face .
"Aaj ke special Day ke liye ek special surprise wait kar raha hai.Meet me at the same place jaha tumne mujhe surprise Diya tha."
Oh! That means She was planning surprise for me . But what?
Transforming myself into Nakabposh,I stop my bike at the same place and my eyes fall on small earthen lamp burning near roots of a tree in the dark night.I move toward the lamp and found a piece of Paper stuck on a trunk of a tree.
"Khubsurat sa ye safar
Tu manjil ,tu hi dagar,
tu sathi mera,tu Humsafar,
Humari kahani ab hai dastan,
kar ti hai jisse baiyan,
Ye zameen, ye Ashman,
Ye haiwan aur Ye fizan,
Kehti hai charo disha,
Kya hai tere mere Darmiyan
Ananya's letter is same like those letters which I got after solving each riddle but how? Sarvkaal too told me that this Puzzle is created by the 'Chupi Shakti' that means Ananya herself created those puzzles.Those flashes which come in front of our yes must be connected from all this .
There is many more to find but now I can't think about all this and destroy Ananya's effort .I look up and found that every corner is illuminated by the earthen lamps and Each tree have my, that means Nakabposh sketch stuck on it . Those Sketches contains every minute details of all those moments when I come in front of her eyes .I looks at them one by one going from one tree to another.When I stop my bike in front of Ananya ,in our(Ananya and Nakabposh) first meeting.My different type of body posture when I was fighting with Timnasa and her team When I move away without accepting her invitation.When I come to meet her in hospital to take her blood sample, when I meet her in the garden ,when I accepted her friendship , when I give her flowers and so on.I know that she had made Nakabposh sketches and I saw some of them but this much sketches and with same perfection.It seems like each moment is captured in her mind .
"Mind me nhi heart me"Her voice come from behind .I turns back and found her coming between trees wearing a soft red saree wrapped beautifully around her fragile body.Wind is ruffling through her open hair.Her face is radiating in the light of lamps .I can see that see is wearing minimal makeup which is enough to enhance her beauty.Her confident walk slowly starts turning into slow walk as her cheeks starts turning in red shade reflecting her shyness due to my gaze.
She stops in front of me and I just forgot blinking .I don't know how long I keep staring at her, openly admiring her beauty while she sometimes looks at me , sometime at ground ,then trees still watching me from corner of her eyes, tucking her hair around her ear , fidgeting with corner of her saree and finally shakes me vigorously .
"wo...wo... Tum.kuch keh rahi thi.ha..dimaag me nhi dil me matlab"I said coming out of my trance.
"Ye moment mind me nhi heart me capture kiya hai maine"She said .
"Tumhare pass mind reading ki power hai?"I asked in surprise .
"tumhe dimaag padhne ke liye mujhe powers ki jarurat nhi hai"She reiterate my words bringing a smile on my face.
"By the way , Generally hearts blood pumping ka kaam karte hai .mujhe nhi pta tha ki tumhare heart me camera bhi laga hai."I said and as I expected she give me her signature glare .
"itna pyara arrangment Kiya hai maine .So practical ho kar usse spoil mat karo."She said rolling her eyes."Now tell me,aaj tumhari koi ek baat mai manungi.To Maango kya magna hai"She said dramatically like queen.
"Really"I said thinking what to say."A long drive and walking on the beach abreast with you"
"wow,Maang maang kar ke bhi kya maanga "She said smiling while shaking her head."Jao diya"
She said with smile and I just got lost in her smile .She is like ray of sunlight in my dark life.

Ye lamha, jo thehra hai
Mera hai, ye tera hai
Ye lamha, main jee loon zara
Tujh mein khoya rahun main
Mujh mein khoyi rahe tu
Khud ko dhund lenge phir kabhi
Tujhse milta rahun main
Mujhse milti rahe tu
Khud se hum milenge phir kabhi
Haan.. phir kabhi
He is riding bike on a sequester road looking at her through mirror with smile as she is enjoying the ride standing behind him and talking Nonstop .
Kyon bewajah gungunaaye
Kyon bewajah muskuraaye
Palkein chamakne lagi hain
Ab khwaab kaise chupaaye
They stops on the beach and she runs toward the sea .Mild breezes is blowing while they are talking and laughing sitting on the beach on the sand.
Behki si, baatein kar le
Hans hans ke aankhein bhar le
Ye behoshiyaan, phir kahan
Tujh mein khoya rahoon main
Mujh mein khoyi rahe tu
Khud ko dhund lenge phir kabhi
Tujhse milta rahoon main
Mujhse milti rahe tu
Khud se hum milenge phir kabhi
Haan.. phir kabhi
"Hume mile hue ek saal se bhi jyada ho gaya"She said looking at the her hand which is entangled in his hand .
"ha"He said looking at her."One year kuch jyada hi jaldi beet gaye na, BABY"
She glare at him while he smiles inwardly knowing that she becomes irritated from these cheesy words.
"please mujhe ye Baby ,waby mat bulao .Mai koi bachhi nhi hu"She said rolling her eyes "Barish"she said standing in one jump as drops of rain fall on her head.Holding her hand he dragged him below a shed while she looks at him sulking.
"Bachhi hi ho tum"He said looking at her fallen face.
"to bhigne do na,please"She said making innocent face with smile.
Dil pe taras aa raha hai
Pagal kahin ho na jaaye
Woh bhi main sunne laga hoon
Jo tum kabhi keh na paaye
She moves toward the open sky where downpour has started but he pull her toward himself such that she collides with him.
Yeh subah phir aayegi
Yeh shamein phir aayengi
Yeh nazdeekiyaan phir kahan
She request making her innocent face and finally he has to give up and she runs under open sky.
Tujh mein khoya rahoon main
Mujh mein khoyi rahe tu
Khud ko dhund lenge phir kabhi
Tujhse milta rahoon main
Mujhse milti rahe tu
Khud se hum milenge phir kabhi
Haan.. phir kabhi
He is looking at her who is playing with water humming some old rain song while signalling him to join.Her saree is stuck in her body making her look voluptuous.Taking slow steps he move toward her while she is enjoying the rain oblivious of his feelings.
Ek khwaab ne aankhein kholi hai kya mod aaya hai kahani me,
Wo bheeg rahi hai barish me,
Aur aag lagi hai pani me

ev(Gulzar)
She turns back to call him again and found him standing in front of her.
"dekha tum bhi aa gaye na"She said with while turning back without looking at him but he holds her hand and pull her toward him.She looks in his eyes and found him looking at her.
They keep standing in the rain looking at each other .Rain drops are slipping down from their body.She looks down avoiding his gaze.If she says that she can read his eyes ,she is not wrong.He picks her in his arms in bridal style and she hides her face in his chest to avoid his gaze.
She opens her eyes not feeling rain drops on her body and find herself in bedroom of their palace,still in her husband's arms.He moves toward the bed and gently make her lie on the bed.He removes his mask and cover from his head , looking at her while she is looking at everything except him.He loves her demure nature.He switch off all lights to make her comfortable and to take their relationship one step ahead.
