"You" Placing down the plate on sofa Adnaan stood up with jolt.

"What are you doing here? How dare you to step in my home" Shouting that with rage Adnaan took step towards that person.

"Adnaan I have to tell you something"

"What is left to say?" Grabbing Qaleel's collar with hatred for him and Sara Adnaan shouted and to out his anger he punched right on Qaleel's left cheek. Resulting a few drops of fresh crimson liquid Ooze out from the corner of his lips.

"Adnaan lis..." Another punch stopped Qaleel to say anything else. But somehow Qaleel managed to push him away and clean the blood with his palm.

"I have to meet Sara" Qaleel yelled making Adnaan's hand stop in air, other another punch was waiting for Qaleel.

"Sara kaha hai?" that was the first question which Adnaan asked without rage, as he was confused.

(Where is Sara?)

"Mujhe kya pta wo kaha hai?" that will be Qaleel's reply.

(I don't know where is she?)

"Wo tumhare Saath hai, main jaanta hu" Adnaan again grip on Qaleel's collar but this time he jerked his hand away

(I know she is with you)

"kya? Tum Pagal ho kya? Teen mahine ho gye mujhe Sara se mile hue... Main us se maafi maangne aaya hu" Qaleel explained and Adnaan was shocked.

(What? Are you mad? It's has been three months when I met Sara, I'm here to apologize in front of her)

"Sara tumhare sath nahi gayi?" Adnaan asked in whisper, he was not in rage anymore as all his emotions were concerned by confusion. And in reply Qaleel shook his head.

(Hadn't Sara went away with you?)

"Whatever happened... Sara wasn't involved in that. I haven't come across any girl as nice as Sara. She was only helping me as a friend... But.."

"But what?"

"My Ammi was extremely ill, and I needed money for her treatment. Avinash assured me to bear all the expenses of my Ammi's treat if I get agree to do what, he wanted me to do." Qaleel explain in hushed tone, Adnaan's breath was stucked in his chest.

"What did he wanted you to do?" Adnaan's voice was so low, Qaleel scarcely hear what he is saying.

"Wo tumhe us din hotel me bulana, tumhara mobile le lena, usi hotel me Sara ko bulana... Wo sab ek plan tha. Sara wo waha tumse milne gayi thi" Qaleel explained each and everything about Avinash and Mansi's plan. Adnaan was beyond shock.

(He called you to the hotel that day, then took your mobile and Sara also arrived there... All that was a plan)

Adnaan was silent for a long minute then his legs refused to hold his weight and he literally fell down on sofa. "Mujhe Maaf kar dena... Main Aesa kuch karna nahi chahta tha lekin main majboor tha, Ammi ki Jaan bachane ke liye main itna andha ho gya tha ki tumhara aur Sara ka ghar barbaad kar diya, Lekin saza to mujhe mil chuki hai. Main apni Ammi ko bhi nhi bacha paya, aur ab mere paas kuch nahi bacha." Saying that Qaleel turned to go back, poor Adnaan wasn't in condition to say anything, he wanted to kill Qaleel at the same spot but his heart and mind was asking only one question.

(Forgive me, I didn't want to do that. but I was helpless, I did that just to save my Ammi. And I have already got punishment for my deeds, neither I was unable to save my mother nor I'm left with anything else. Now I'm on the road)

"Sara... Ye kya ho gya. Kaha chali gayi tum." Adnaan muttered hiding his face in between his palms, he was out of his mind. But Qaleel listened the same.

(Sara... What happened with us? Where are you?)

"When I met her last time she was ill, maybe she was hospitalised" Adnaan suddenly looked towards Qaleel after getting that piece of information. An unexpected rage covered him all of the sudden which pushed him to stood up with a jolt "When and where did you met her last time?" Adnaan grabbed his collar. And Qaleel informed him about the last meeting with Sara but he gave another information which made Adnaan's eyes wide.

"She was booking tickets for Nizamabad and same night I saw her entering in railway station."

"Nizamabad" Adnaan mumbled, he felt like a ray of light started breaking the darkness of his night like life. Forgetting everything he quickly picked his mobile and dialled Rushda's number. In the time being Qaleel left from there in order to save his life otherwise Adnaan would kill him.

"Hello"

"Hello phuppo Jaan" Adnaan utter in a hurry as soon as the call was received from other side.

"Adnaan you've forgotten about me. You were supposed to come to meet us along Sara but you both don't even all me now." Rushda was complaining normally as if everything was alright but that fine voice Snatch away the rug which was under Adnaan's feet a few minutes back.

"Hello..."

"Hello Adnaan... Are you there?"

"Yea phuppo Jaan..." He muttered.

"Why are you sounding anxious? Make me talk to Sara" Adnaan ran his fingers through his messy hair.

"Adnaan... What's wrong beta?"

"Phuppo Jaan, I'll catch up with you later... And don't worry. Everything is fine" With this lie Adnaan cut the call.

"Sara... Ye kya ho gya?" He muttered and looked everywhere as if Sara was hidden in between those lifeless walls and he would pull her out from anywhere. He was behaving like a maniac. Now he was understanding the meaning of those messages what Sara sent her before going to hotel room.

(Sara... What happened with us?)

"Sara... Wapas aa jaa... Main Mar jaunga tere bina... Wapas aa jaa yaar" Breath was uneven, Head was bursting due to pain, forehead was full of sweat and he was mumbling like a mad.

(Sara come back, please come back... I'll die without you)

But suddenly he remembered about Avinash, gritting his teeth he looked here there to find out his car keys and found them in kitchen. While picking the car keys he hurriedly pick the sharpest knife from kitchen slab and runs out from the home.

"I won't leave him alive." mumbling that Adnaan stepped out from the home without bothering to lock the door.

===========

AFTER FEW HOURS...

The environment of police station was full of anxiety. Avinash and Adnaan both were sitting in front of each other. Adnaan's shirt was teared and he had a bandage on his left shoulder from which blood was still trying to come out, while Avinash had a bandage on his right arm.

Adnaan was in rage, so he went to Avinash's home and tried to hit him with the sharp knife but in order to defend himself Avinash managed to snack away that knife. During the scuffling of knife Adnaan hit Avinash's arm but he himself got a deep wound on his shoulder as well as few small scratches on his face and arm.

"It's a clear attempt to murder case, This man has tried to kill my client" The lawyer of Avinash spoke in most professional way while pointing out towards Adnaan.

"Tujhe to main zinda nahi rehne dunga" Adnaan again stood up with jolt as so Avinash did with full rage but both the impatient men were stopped by a loud voice.

(I'll kill you)

"Ye thana hai, tumhare baap ka akhada nahi... Chup chaap betho jab tak MLC ki report na aa jaye" The senior officer yelled and they both sat down again.

(It's police station, not a fighting court. Sit quietly until your MLC reports are coming)

In the time being a constable whispered something in the ear of police inspector and he nodded. Adnaan and Avinash was still killing one another through their deadly gazes, Avinash grit his teeth which was enough to provoke Adnaan standing up while using some abusive words he stepped toward Avinash and grabbed his collar before anyone could understand the ongoing situation he already punched his face.

"Enough is enough... Put him behind the bars" The inspector yelled about Adnaan and he was pulled to lockup, but his rage was not on rest. He sat on the bench placed at the corner, he was ready to kill Avinash when the inspector entered in the lockup.

"Adnaan tu Pagal ho gya hai kya? Kya kar raha hai? Maar dega kya use?" Shouting that the inspector sat in front of him. The inspector was the same inspector who already knew Adnaan, and once encountered with Sara while her midnight scooty rush. After promotion he was luckily posted as inspector in this police station

(Adnaan are you out of your mind? What the hell are you doing? Will you kill him?)

"Jo isne mere Saath kra hai uske baad to main ise maar hi dunga" Adnaan shouted back.

( yes I will kill him for what he has done with)

"Phir puri zindagi jail me sadega..." The inspector glared him in reply.

( then you'll spend rest of your life in the jail)

"Zindagi to barbaad kar di isne... Ab to ghar bhi jail lag raha hai." Adnaan was still gritting his teeth, he could try to break the bars to went at Avinash and kill him.

(He spoiled my life, my home is seems like a jail now)

''Beta Pagal mat ban, josh me hosh nahi khote... Uska wakeel tujhe 9-10 saalo ke liye jail me dalwane ke irade se betha hua hai." This time the inspector was neither scolding Adnaan nor performing his professional job, he was only trying to save Adnaan due to their personal good terms with one another.

(Dear Don't loose you patience in aggression. His lawyer wanted to send you behind the bars for 9-10 years)

"9-10 saal kyu? Use maar kar ek hi baar phasi par Chad jaunga" Adnaan was not ready to listen any, the police inspector keep watching him for ten minutes. He was amazed that a full of life boy life Adnaan was turning to a beast.

(Why only few years? I'll like to hang till death but after killing him)

"Will you tell me what he has done that you reach his home to murder him?" The inspector asked and Adnaan close his eyes for few moments, he wasn't able to tell anything.

"okay listen... Your injuries are more than his, I'll handle everything just compromise for now and let this matter go. Don't spoil your life"

"My life is already spoiled"

"Adnaan here I'm not talking to you as a police officer but as a friend... Think about your wife, you're very young, don't spoil your future, think about a good future with your wife and children. I'm sending compromise agreement, sit here and sign them otherwise I'll give you third degree torture by myself." The police officer left Adnaan in the lockup. Once Adnaan helped him regarding his loan, from that time they both were on good terms and He was paying off Adnaan by helping him.

"That boy is also saying that Avinash has attempted to murder him" The officer Glared Avinash while taking his seat.

"He is lying" Avinash grit his teeth.

"But according to MLC he is not! Not only he but you'll also go behind the bars for attempting murder. And according to MLC report he is more injured than you. His case is stronger than you, I'll advise you to compromise otherwise your esteem will be spoiled. Baat niklegi to dur tak jayegi... He can demand for a CBI inquiry about your business too... Maybe you will not be harmed but your business will suffer." The police officer played well, and Avinash knew Adnaan could do anything as he was becoming mad. He discusses everything with his lawyer and decided to withdraw the case.

On the other hand Adnaan was cursing himself, he wanted to kill Avinash, Mansi and Qaleel but at the same time he wanted to kill himself for not trusting Sara.

All the formalities were complete, Avinash was back to his home, but Adnaan was still in the lockup. After some half an hour the police officer stepped in the lockup.

"Go home, and be thankful to God that I was here otherwise..."

"Sir" cutting the sentence in between Adnaan suddenly looked at the police officer "I have to search my wife, please help me. Three months back she went to railway station, catch the train For Nizamabad but she didn't went there." Adnaan explained and the police officer sat down in front of him.

"Three months back? Are you kidding? We're you sleeping for these three months? Give her mobile number I'll try to find out her location"

"She left the mobile at home" Adnaan replied in whisper. The police officer took all the necessary details of Sara in order to find out her.

==============

After a few days

Adnaan was tried to contact Sara's colleagues, but no one know anything about her. Tired, he lift his mobile and smile sadly.

"Jagli billi, jitna naraz hona hai ho jana, ladna, mujhe satana... Bas wapas aa ja... Mar jaunga tere bina." He whispered and kissed her photo.

(Wild cat come back, I'm dying without you)

At the same time his mobile started ringing, "Hello... Sir have you get any information about Sara?" Adnaan asked hurriedly.

"Yeah... Come police station" after that small sentence Adnaan listen a beep indicates disconnected call.

.........

"Some two and a half months ago railway police had find out a half decomposed dead body in the jungle situated near Nizamabad Railway station. According to postmortem report either she jumped off from the running train in order to attempt suicide or she was pushed off from the train with the purpose of murder. But when the body wasn't identified and claimed by anyone, the funeral was done by government procedure." Adnaan was standing like a dummy, he wasn't effected by that news because his soul was dead with this news.

"These are the pics of that body" Adnaan closed his eyes after watching that but a small tear rolled down from his eye. "She can't be my Jangli Billi" he muttered but his yes were fixed on that pic, the body was not in position to be identified, but the hair was curly...

Just like Sara.

"She can't suicide..." This time Adnaan shook is head while placing the photo on table and smiled "Sir you don't have idea how dangerous creation of Allah she is. She can kill someone but can't kill herself." Adnaan mumbled with a smile and stepped out from the police station.

"My Sara can't attempt suicide... She is way too brave" He muttered while driving back home.

Home?

Not at all...

Unlocking the door Adnaan stepped in that apartment which was just a space between four wall. Finding no energy in himself he literally fell down in his knees, tears rolled down from his eyes.

"Sara... What I have done... You can't leave me alone yaar... You can't... I love you... Come back..." He was hitting hit head with the wall and mumbling. That was first time when Adnaan was so helpless. He could do anything to found her, if he had to tear the whole sky he would... If he had to dig the whole land he would...

He just wanted his peace back which Sara took away with himself.
