Zoya said 'Agar aaj Aditya nhi hote toh shayad humari jaan chali jati.' , she looked directly at Aditya and said 'Shukriya Aditya. Hum jab aapse pehli baar mile the humein aap ke kamzarf aur behaya insaan lage the , but today I owe my life to you.' Aditya looked a bit embarrassed at his praises and said 'Hum.. I mean , main toh bas apna farz nibha rha tha.'
Zoya smiled and said 'Aditi, hum zara Aditya se akele mein baat karna chahte hai.'
Aditi got up to leave and said 'You take care Zoya. And Aditya , thank you. You are good man to have around.' Aditi left.
Zoya said 'Aditya aapke haath mein chot lagi hai. Layie hum dawai laga dete hai.'
She tried to get up but her injury was deep and she groaned and slumped back into the bed.
Aditya held her shoulders and said 'Aaram se. Doosron ki madad se pehle khud ki kariye.'
Zoya looked at him and said 'Aditya , baithiye idhar.' She patted one side of the bed. Aditya obliged and she said 'Aditya,hum bohot kam dost banate hai. Hum logon pe bharosa nhi karte hai asani se . Lekin aaj aapne jo kiya usse aap se ek apnapan sa laga. Aisa laga aap ke paas humein hifazat milegi. Hum aaj aapse poochna chahte hai , Kya aap humare dost banenge?'
She put her hand forward. Aditya looked hesitantly and then took her hand and shook it. Both smiled and Aditya said 'Mujhe nhi laga thi ki aap kabhi meri dost banengi.'
Zoya said 'Ab jab hum dost hai toh aap humein tum karke boliye.'
Aditya said 'Lekin Tum toh aap bolti ho.'
Zoya chuckled and said 'Aadat hai. Ab aap apne chot ka kuch kariye. Ghaav gehra hai.'
Aditya suddenly looked hateful but changed his expression quickly and said 'Ghaav toh bohot gehra hai, lekin iska ilaj bhi jald ho jayega.'
He got up to leave but felt a tugging in his hand. He looked back and saw the end of Zoya's dupatta had hooked it self to his cuff links. Aditya said jokingly 'Are hum toh ek dor se bandh gye.'
Zoya said nothing but thought 'Haan Aditya , dosti aur bharose ke dor se. Aur hum allah se yehi dua karte hai ki yeh dor kabhi na choote.'

Aditya untied himself and said 'Zoya, ummm .. ek help chaiye thi.'
Zoya said 'Haq se boliye. Dost hai aap humare.'

Aditya said 'Voh maine bola tha na, mujhe paison ki thodi problem hai, toh ghar ka rent dene mein problem ho gyi. Ab mere paas rehne ki koi jagah nhi hai. Toh tum kuch kar sakti ho kya?'
Zoya said 'Hum aapko panah denge. Ek outhouse hai humara, aap wahan reh sakte hai. Kaafi bada toh nhi hai lekin chota bhi nhi hai. Humare ghar ke peeche ki taraf jo garden hai wahan hai outhouse. Toh aap aaj hi shift ho sakte hai agar chahe toh.'
Aditya grinned and said 'Thank you so much.'
Zoya said 'Hum Parul se kehkar use abhi saaf kara dete hai. Acha , aap aaj dinner humare saath kariyega. Hum khud apne haathon se khana banayenge.'
Aditya said 'Jaan bachane ke liye itni khatirdaari?'
Zoya said 'Yeh toh bohot kam hai janab. Ab aap jaiye aur apna saman lekar aaiye.'

Aditya left the house and reached his own place. Mahi opened the door and hugged him tightly and said 'Bhai, thank god aap theek hai. Poore news mein bas Zoya ki shooting ki hi baat chal rhi hai. Aap bhi toh vahin the na. Aapko chot toh nhi aai? Zoya theek hai na? Use kisne bachaya?'
Aditya broke free of the hug and said 'Relax Mahi, saans toh lene de.Zoya theek hai aur mujhe bas mamuli si chot aai hai. Aur maine hi Zoya ko bachaya.'
Mahi looked shocked and said 'Aapne? Lekin aapko aag mein koondne ki kya zaroorat thi? Aapko kuch ho jata toh ?'
Aditya said 'Bharosa jeetne ke liye itna toh karna hi tha.'
Something about his tone made Mahi ask 'Bhai, aag aapne toh nhi lagai thi na?'
Aditya clapped Mahi on the shoulder and said 'Sahi jawab. Aapko milte hai 10 crore rupay inam mein.'
Mahi's eyes widened in fear and said 'Bhai you are not serious? Aap aisa kaise kar sakte hai? Agar Zoya ko kuch ho jata, kisi aur ko kuch ho jata toh?'
Aditya said 'Kisi ko kuch nhi hota. Jab maine kerosene dala tha , toh bas thoda sa out of safe zone mein dala tha.  Mujhe pata tha Zoya , ghabra jayegi because she is a pyrophobic. Aag ka dar hai use. And i also knew ki ,kisi aur ko kuch nhi hoga. I have gone through this plan a hundred of times.'
Mahi looked aghast at Aditya's cold and cruel plan and said 'Bhai aap toh aise nhi the. Yeh kya kar rhe hai aap. Badle ki aag mein aapko andaza bhi nhi hai ki aap kitna gir gye hai. Aaj agar Zoya ki jaan chali jati toh sirf aap uske liye responsible hote.'
Aditya slammed the table 'I don't care. Mujhe kuch farak nhi padta ki main kitna neeche girta hoon. Mujhe farak nhi padta ki Zoya mare ya jeeye. Mujhe bas is baat se farak padta hai ki aaj Zoya ki wajah se mera bhai zinda nhi hai, mere saath nhi hai. Zoya ne apna vaar do saal pehle kar diya tha ab meri baari. Aur main jab vaar karoonga toh na chura bachega, na haath aur na niyat. Aaj mujhse usne dosti kari, ab bharosa karegi fir pyaar karegi. Fir us pyaar ko main todoonga aur voh bhi tootegi.Aur uske tootne ka shor..
'Aapko bhi barbaad karega. Bhai, aap aag se khel rhe ho. Jaise aaj haath jala hai, vaise aage bhi jalega. Abhi bhi wakt hai , sambhal jaao.'completed Mahi.
Aditya said nothing and went to pack some stuff. 'Main ja rha hoon Mahi. Mujhe meri manzil bula rhi hai. Tu apna khyaal rakh.'
