" Of course I celebrate .....that is why I called you..... Actually I have no other friends , Only you and Va..." Zara stop in middle of her sentence " I....I will bring coffee for you " Zara goes to the kitchen.

Dev look at a picture of three of them on the wall , It was click by Zara Four years ago at the hotel when They had Dinner together. Four years ago they received a letter from Vaishnabi , In the letter she told them not Worried for her. She was a safe place , She promise them she will come one day...

" Can I ask you a personal question " Zara place a coffee mug in the table.

Dev look at her .

Dev don't expect this type of questions suddenly " hmm...I don't find anyone whom I can love ".

" Or.... you don't find anyone one like Vaishnabi .... " Zara take sip of coffee and continue " How much you deny ....You don't able to hide it , it seems in your eyes. Why you never told her , infact when you met her you already know that She was Devorced.

" How....how I tell her , I am responsible for everything she suffers now is for me. I lied to her because I thought......Its not matter what I thought , I made a mistake and that is the truth. I still feel guilty Why I....I...not warn her about Sushant..." Dev get up from sofa.

" What you mean by ....warn her ". Zara ask Dev .

Dev take a deep breath " Sushant and I known each other as a family friends circle , We were not so close. I heard many thing about him in past I also heard that some women complaint against him for molesting her....But she didn't able to prove anything against him , When He was in college with me I also did not see him do any ......But It was my duty to tell her Everything about him what I heard. Why I was so careless .....How I.....I ....never forgive me never....". Dev cover his face with hand.

" Don't blame yourself......You should tell her Everything , How long you live with guilt.

You two love eachother.....you can start a new life " Zara request Dev.

" No ....It is my fate. What if she hate me.....I lost her love...I don't want to lost her friendship and anyway She is not here.....So it is meaningless to talk about this " Dev sigh.

Meanwhile in a car...." are you book a table " A lady talk in a phone...." Ok....hmmm....Thank you "She cut the phone. Vaishnabi look outside the car window , She feels fresh airs in her skin.
