Third Person’s POV

 Abeer is still lost in her thoughts and smiling, Rizwan caressed his chest where he got punched by Abeer.

“I think my friend became crazy about her,” Rizwan mumbled.

“You know… leave it..” Rizwan added.

“Whatever, I’m happy for my friend. You smile after all. I was thinking that the smile of my friend vanished with his father.” Rizwan said, calming himself. He never sees Abeer, smiling like this.

“So shall I inquire about your nightingale?” Rizwan winked at Abeer.

“No need for that. She gave her number. I will ask her directly.” Abeer said without looking at him.

“Whoever she is. But she is the only mine.” Abeer added, his eyes are sparkling with some mischievous expression.

“Great, and her assistant, what’s her name?.... Aa. A…. Hmmm, Sayema. She will receive your call and yell on you.” Rizwan taunted.

“Then… what do you think about that Sayema?” Abeer winked at him with a short smile.

“My foot, a fat girl,” Rizwan irritated.

“By the way, she is not called fat, she must be called healthy.” Abeer teased and he got a punch by him.

“She is for permanent or one nightstand?” Rizwan asked him seriously.

“Permanent.”

“You know she is..” Rizwan doesn’t complete his sentence.

“This doesn’t affect me. But I wish that she could see. I can do anything for that.”Abeer replied.

“Why?”Rizwan exclaimed.

“I wish that she could see me. She can feel but I want…” Abeer stopped at half of his sentence.

Abeer is smiling freely for the first time in his life. After his father’s death, he evolves a rude and cruel mafia don, who never forgives. Once he is like a playboy, one girl is only for one night. He is a symbol of cruelty. His only roar is enough to scare his enemies. Rizwan feels that his friend is changed after meeting her.

Abeer got up from there and moved out of the cafe, Rizwan pursued him and they left from the place.

Other side Sayema pulled her to their car. Shivin and Asad are already waiting for them.

“Quick, get inside,” Shivin ordered. When Sayema and Keya got inside, Shivin instructed Asad and moved towards his car.

Asad started the car and asked, “Why did you come here without informing me?”

“A.. a. Actually, Bhaijan, I wished for a coffee. So I came here with Shivinbhai.” Keya lied but her lie is easily caught by Asad.

“Nice. Whose coat is this? Remove it now.” Asad looks her into the car.

“No, I feel cold.” She lied again.

“Cold?” Asad narrowed his eyes.

“Would you mind telling me the truth?” Asad inquired of.

“Bhaijan, for now, I can’t tell you anything. But will tell you later. Promise.” Keya pouted.

“Okay, but your security is the most important thing for us. Now you won’t go anywhere without informing me.” Asad Ordered her.

“Hmmm.” She replied.

They reached home and Keya went inside her with Sayema. Keya asked her to bring a pair of clothes for her.

Sayema gave her a simple frock to wear and locked the door from inside.

Keya removed a jacket and placed it on the bed. Sayema is observing her by folding her hands with each other. Keya removed her top and wore the frock and then removed pajama of the previous dress. Once Keya is done with her changing, Sayema implored, “What happened there?”

“A …. Sayema.” Keya hesitates.

“I asked, what happened there?” Now Sayema became angry.

Keya spoke out in a breath and explained to her everything, except Akshita and Shivin’s relationship.

“So that man saved you from those boys, right?” Sayema asked.

“Hmmm.”

“You know Keya, from last fourteen years, Bhaijan and I are with you. Bhaijan’s life’s motto is only to save you, protects you. If he knows about this incident, he…” Sayema is cut off by Keya, “He will beat Shivinbhai.”

“Keya, bhaijan has spent his life for you. He doesn’t trust anyone regarding your security, neither Shivinbhai nor Ajay uncle.” Sayema said emotionally.

“Hmmm, this is the last time. I’ll never go alone outside. Promise.” Keya touches her ears.

“Hmmm, by the way, that man was handsome. What’s his name?”Sayema tried to chill the atmosphere.

“Well, handsome, charming isn’t affecting me. Because I can’t see him. But I’m thankful to him.” Keya said with a delighted smile.

“And what about his good name?” Sayema asked.

“I don’t know,” Keya replied.

“Great, someone helped you and you don’t know his name.”

“Yeah, I asked but he didn’t tell me,” Keya said.

“Okay, if we will meet him again, we’ll thank him. For now, what would you like to have?” Sayema asked.

“Sayema, I’m hell hungry. Please, bring some food for me.” Keya said in a crying tone.

“Pizza..?” Sayema asked while licking her lips.

“Yes.” Keya agreed excitedly.

Sayema placed a call at the domino's and ordered for the pizza and left the room for some work. Keya sat on the bed and found her headphones, she started listening to music. After a few minutes, her phone buzzes, her phone is set to auto-answer when headphone or Bluetooth on. And regularly her voice command receives her call.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Keya. This is Axita here.” She said in a weeping tone.

“Oh, Hi.”

“I’m really sorry. I have to leave her alone and you were plopped in danger because of me.” She apologized.

“No, it’s okay. I’m fine.” Keya replied with a slight smile.

“Keya, there are some people who arrived, so I couldn’t come towards you for help,” Axita explained.

“No, Akki. I’m fine. Now don’t regret anything. Just chill.” Keya consoles her.

“Hmm.” She pouted.

“By the way, how is your Mom?” Keya asked.

“She is still in a coma. Means not completely. She listens to us but her body doesn’t respond at a movement.” Axita replied.

“Akki, our life was changed at one stroke,” Keya said but the pain was shown in her voice.

“Yeah, but the biggest punishment was given to you, Keya,” Axita said.

“I don’t mind it. I can live my life better, without eyes.” Keya replied confidently.

“Hey, Akki, I’ll talk to you later, someone is calling me.” Keya said when she heard a ‘beep beep' sound between a call.

“Ok…” Axita hung up the call.

The call auto connected with an upcoming call. Keya is thinking, who can call her. Her number is only with her family members. She is at home, who can call her. She said hesitantly, “Hello.”

‘” Ummmm, I..” a sound of aman collided in her ear.

“Who is?”

“It’s me. A..”  He hesitates.

“Ohhh, you. Hi.” Keya said.

“Hmmm.. How are you?” He asked.

“Fine. And you?” She asked back.

“All good.” He replied.

“Thank you for helping me.” Keya thanked him.

“No need for that,” Abeer replied.

“What is your name?” Keya asked.

“Did you tell me your name?” He asked.

“Ohk, so you are not gonna tell me right?” Keya pouted.

“Okay, anything else?.” Keya asked.

“Nothing.”

“So, thanks for the call, and .. a… bye,” Keya said after a few seconds silence. He doesn’t know what to talk to her.

She hung up the call and a wide smile hovered on her face. But suddenly, she thinks, “Why am I so happy?”

Sayema immigrated inside the room with pizza. Keya inhaled a delicious pizza and came out of her thoughts. Both girls enjoyed the large-sized pizza with extra cheese.

Rizwan’s POV

I think that today is the best day of my life. I see my friend, Abeer, the happiest. I’m damn sure he is happy because of that girl, whom he met today. I also met her today in the café. Looking damn pretty like a goddess. But only one thing is less, and that is her vision.

I worried for Abeer, how he stays for a lifelong with the person who is blind. For common people, this can be okay, but for Abeer, who has a lot of enemies, can't live with this girl.

He will protect her or handle his business. As he demands her, he can't live his life easy going like others. 

When I dropped him home, I needed to make some excuses to search for that girl. I inquire about her mobile number but it is a private number, so it's not easy to get her data. This proved that she is not among common people. She must belong to a rich family.

Then I was supposed to search on social media. But who can't she, how can she use social media? I decided to visit the cafe again and check the CCTV footage just for the check, with whom she came there.

I drive fast towards the cafe, I remember Sayema. Maybe she came with Sayema only. I searched for Sayema on social media while driving but no exact matches founded by him.

I reached the cafe and met with the manager. I bribed him and he allowed me for checking the CCTV footage.

When I checked it, I felt a panic attack. The biggest hurricane is ready to come into my friend's life. She is there with Shivin and laterally joined by Akki. I copied the footage and eliminated it from records.

I drove my car towards home but stopped under the big tree. What will I say to Abeer? I stroke my fingers roughly into my hairs. My mind is not working properly, what to do or not to do. 

I decided not to talk with Abeer right now. But first of all, I will talk with Akki. She has to tell me why she met with Shivin and that girl.

I drove fast towards the home, but I'm aware that Abeer is at home, and I can't meet Akki if he is present. So I have to wait for a chance to talk with her.

When I entered the house, Abeer asked, "Where were you?" 

Nowhere, I had some work, so. Now done it." I said and walked towards my room. For the first time, I hid something from him. If he learns that Akki met with Shivin, God knows what he will do with Akki.

I can't sit at a place, I walked here and there with tension. I want to talk with Akki, right now but Abeer's presence is stopping me.

But I got a chance when I saw him in the home garden. He was sitting there and enjoying the evening view.

I rushed to Akshita's room. I entered without knocking the door. My anger reached the top, I closed the door and barked, "Akkkkiiiii..." 

"Ji, Bhai..." She hopped up from her bed with fear. Her face shows that she is scared of me.

"What were you doing in the cafe?" I asked.

"Bhai. I.. " Akshita trembled in fear and her voice was broken by fear.

"What were you doing with that Shivin Agrawal?" I asked directly. Hearing his name, her face became scary like she saw a ghost, her eyes became wide, her whole body quivered with fear.

"Bhai.." She hardly spoke up.

"Akkki... Listen, we both love you. You are everything for us. Just tell me, what were you doing there? I hid about it from Abeer yet." I said in a normal voice and stepped to be closed by her. I put my hand on her head.

"Please, Akki.." I requested it again.

She hugged me and cried hard, "Bhai, I love Shivin." 

These words are falling like a hammer on my head. How is it possible? How can she fall in love with Shivin? How can she forget Abeer's revenge? How can she shirk the death of her father? Akki, what you have done.

Maybe she is trapped by Shivin. For now, I can't be angry with her. I have to tackle this matter with full care. 

"Akki, there was a girl with you? Who was she?" I asked.

"Bhai, she is... " Akki stammered.

"Say, Akki." I broke the hug and shook her with her shoulders.

The words erected out of her mouth were stabbing my heart at once. Whom he wanted to kill, at first sight, he plunges for her. 

Akki's words are hard to hear......

"She.... i....s Ke....yyyaaaa... Keya Gujral."
