Rahini looks very upset and rubs her forehead. She holds her head and leans on the table.She then looks determined and thinks to herself.
"Millions of people come to this city and leave this city. Why would I need to bother about each of them?Nothing matters to me whoever enters the Bollywood or leaves it. Whatever the hell he does, I don't care. Let me look after my business."
Rahini raises from her seat and goes towards the cabin.She then stops suddenly in the middle.
"Oh God! I did not get my stuff till now and I am sitting here thinking about unnecessary things."She gets annoyed again.She starts to look downwards in the floor and moves forward searching it.
As she does her search looking down, she bumps with a person coming in the opposite direction. She looks at the person to be Pratik who is rubbing his forehead showing a painful look in his face.
Rahini too rubs her forehead by the pain and looks at him in a irritatingly. Pratik looks at her and says "Why are you glaring at me? I did not do anything. While walking we have look at the front not at down"
Rahini answers him with irritation "Did I ask or say anything to you? Why are you talking unnecessarily. Already I am in a irritation of losing my precious stuff. I am searching it now. Go away without irritating me further."
"It would be a eighth wonder for me to see your face without irritation. May be I can a Sun at night but not a smile in your face." teases Pratik
Rahini smiles in her lips and irritation in her eyes "Ha! Ha! Ha! Very Funny. Now please leave the place if your stupid joke is over." Rahini continues to look for her stuff on the floor here and there. Pratik looks at her smilingly.
"So you have lost your precious possession, is it?" asks Pratik. Rahini stops looking down and turns towards him.
"I believe, that is what I told you,just now."
"May be I can help you."
Rahini looks at him and asks "What you are going to search with me? No thanks. I can do it by myself."
"No need. I will do a simple magic and get your stuff back.By the way,you cannot get that thing just by your search but only through my magic"
Rahini looks at him without saying anything. Pratik waves hands in front of Rahini and pretends to do some magic.
"Abracadabra, Bippity, Boppity, Boo,Jantar Mantar Jadu Mantar,Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse" says Pratik and Rahini interrupts him
"Hey,Hey, In which language you are speaking? And why are you scolding in bad words?"
Pratik stops waving hands and looks at her "Hello Mam, I am doing magic.Not scolding. Just wait." He again waves his hands and utters "Abracadabra, Mecca lecca hi, mecca hiney ho, Izzy wizzy,Walla Walla" he rotates his up and down, forward and backward in all directions and Rahini's irritation grows slowly.
Finally he puts his hands in his pockets and takes a stuff from it and shows it in front of her saying "Dadong"
Rahini looks at the stuff in his hands and her face turns surprised from irritation. She looks like as if she is not able to believe what she is seeing. She gets the stuff from his hand and stares at it.
Pratik says "Well. Here is your valuable possession."
Rahini looks at the stuff with surprise without answering him. Pratik gets the stuff and looks at it. A dollar which has provision to open it. He opens the dollar and sees a photograph of a young man placed in it.
"The guy in this photo looks very handsome." says Pratik looking at Rahini who has immersed herself in some thoughts. Pratik looks at her in surprise. He waves his hands in front of her and distracts her. She comes out of the thoughts and stares at him. He looks at her and raises his eyebrows like 'What?'. She looks at him and nods her head like 'Nothing'. She gets the stuff from him and looks the photo inside the dollar.
"So,I don't have to ask if he is your beloved...." says Pratik without completing his sentence and looks at her. Rahini's face looks sad and she nods her head like 'Yes'
Pratik says "So, I did the magic and got back your stuff. Are you happy now?"
Rahini looks at him and asks "From where did you get this?"
"Did not you see how I brought it through my magic?"
"Fun apart. Answer me properly. Where did you get it?" asks Rahini in a firm voice.
"What bothers you? You got it back anyway. Forget it." says Pratik and moves forward.
"No" she stops him from moving. "Answer my question"
"Day before yesterday, you remember how you ran to the studio as if you were running for Olympics games' running race?" says Pratik in a teasing tone."You did not notice it falling down from your bag. I found and kept it with me."
Rahini's face turns in shock on hearing this. "Oh, God! Looks like I have lost that also in Delhi." Rahini says to herself. Pratik looks at her shock in surprise. "Hello, you got your stuff isn't it? Is your father working in Electricity Board? Why are you getting shocked like this again and again?"
Rahini looks at him and says "This is not the one I was looking for". Pratik looks at her in surprise. Rahini notices him and answers him immediately "I mean, I did not know I have lost this too. I was searching for my another precious stuff.Now I have to re-check my bag fully and should find out what are all things I have lost till now. A small hole changed my entire life." Rahini says in a sad voice.
"Well, I don't understand. What can be much more precious for you than your late husband's photograph?"
Rahini looks at him and says "Well, not all questions in this world are answered. You cannot understand it and I don't expect you to do so." she looks at the dollar once again and turns to Pratik "Anyways, Thank you for finding this and giving it back." in a blank and rigid voice and leaves from the place.
Pratik says to himself "Do I really not deserve a better thanks than this?" in an annoying tone. "Hello Madam" he calls her. Rahini stops and turns back at him.
"I don't know what is that precious thing you have lost.But one thing I can say for sure. If you have an true emotional attachment to it, one day, sure it will come to you. If not, you will go to the place where it is."
Rahini gives a simple look at him without any reply. She then leaves the place.
----------
Rahini comes to her cabin sadly and looks like exhausted.She sits on her seat and her eyes turn teary which she tries to control.
A scene flashes in her mind.
Rahini closes her eyes and a woman standing in front of her slowly shows a gift to her. Rahini opens her eyes and looks at the gift. Her eyes show surprise on seeing it.
She asks the woman "Hey, What is this?" in same surprise.
"My gift to you on your first day as journalist" says the woman in a cheer and joy in her voice. The woman takes Rahini's hand in her hand and places the gift in the hand. Rahini looks at the gift without saying anything. Her face is full of surprise, happiness, shock and several mixed feelings.
She opens the gift wrap and takes the stuff from it. It is an ink pen in golden color. Rahini looks at the pen in an astonishment. She then looks at the woman and exclaims"The pen is really beautiful"
"Pen is mightier than sword, isn't it? The mightier weapon for a mightier woman who has born to change the world" says the woman to her. Rahini looks at her in a teary but happy expression. Both of them hug each other.
"Listen carefully, Journalist Madam. This is not just a pen but this is me. Absolute 'Me'. Myself and this pen are both same. If you have this with you, it is assumed that I am with you." says the woman and Rahini smile at her.
The woman says in a warning tone "Also listen this. There might a day come where we both can part away. Even you get separated from me, this pen should be with you always. You are not at all permitted to lose this. If it is lost, then you have lost me. That is it. And there may and may not be chances that I will come to you again. So keep it careful and promise me that you will not lose it.
Rahini nods her head like 'Yes'. She keeps her hand on the woman's hand and promises her.Both of them hug each other again.
"Come on, rock the world like anything" says the woman in a magnificent voice and both of them laugh together.
Rahini tries to wipe her tears on realizing where she is now. She opens the dollar again and looks at the photo in it.
"Aarav, What is this? Why this is happening to me? You know that pen is my most precious possession.How careless I was, not even knowing that I have lost my important thing in my life. What has happened to me? Even when there was a threat to my life, I managed to save this locket and that pen. But I lost it just like that. Like how this locket alone is left form me as your memory, that pen alone is left for my memory of best friend. Pratik saved this and gave it to me. But who will bring that to me?"
Rahini starts to cry looking at the locket.
Pratik passes by through the cabin and stops at looking her through the glass. He rubs his eyes on seeing her and turns surprised.
"What is this? Whatever I am looking now is real or dream? Tears, that too from the eyes of the most dynamic and bold woman according to the world. How it is possible?" asks himself.
Pratik sees Rahini talking something looking at the locket.
"Is she crying for the stuff she lost? Does that really matter a lot to her? What it might be?"
Rahini keeps talking to the locket.
"It was not only my precious memory but also my luck too. Shortly after I lost it, I am facing and hearing unwanted things and I really did not like whatever is happening now in my life. Please Aarav, I know you were with me in all my hurdles and helped me to overcome all my obstacles.Now please be with me and help me to find that pen. Please do some magic and bring that pen to me again."
Pratik looks at her still and his face shows irritation. Rahini turns away and looks Pratik standing outside. Pratik turns his face away and pretends to look at the file which is in his hand. He then pretends to talk in his mobile and moves from the place. Rahini quickly wipes her tears and keeps the locket in her bag.
Pratik moves from the place and thinks to himself. "Most important specimen to be placed in museum. Shedding tears for a lifeless thing. Should I do anything now? Sure she is not going to tell what is that thing. Without knowing that I cannot do anything. What bothers me? Let me look after my business"
He turns towards the cabin and looks at her. Rahini is typing in her computer keyboard through the glass. He leaves the place and Rahini looks him leaving.
She reminds him doing a magic and giving her the locket. She thinks to herself. "He really did a great thing to me today without his knowledge. But I was not at all good to him and behaved somewhat very rudely.I should have not thanked him like that. From next time let me not be like this. But one thing for sure. Suddenly I can feel a change in him. God, this should continue all along. He found the locket and he gave it to me. But I don't know who has the pen and that person will give it to me or not. Where could it be now?"

"Bhaiyya! I need your sign in this cheque." Arun comes to him with a cheque book in his hand. Rohit looks at him and the cheque book. He takes the cheque from him and looks for a pen.
"Bhaiyya, I will give" says Arun and keeps his hands in his pocket.
"No need." says Rohit and takes a pen from his pocket and signs the cheque. He then gives the cheque to Arun.
Arun takes the cheque from him and looks at the pen in Rohit's hand. His face turn surprised.
"Bhaiyya, What is this? I have not seen this pen with you before. Did you buy it?" asks Arun.
Rohit looks at the pen and says "No. I did not buy it. I got it."
"Oh, somebody gifted you?"
"Not really. A kind of stealing."
"What? You stole this pen? From whom, where, when, why..."
"Hey, take a breath for a second." says Rohit in a teasing tone "A kind of theft not done deliberately to steal. I saw the person dropping this pen without her knowledge. I saw her again but I did not return it. Keeping a stuff which does not belong to us and not returning to its owner is a kind of theft isn't it? "
"Oh, Why you did not return it to her?" asks Arun. He gets the pen from him and looks at it. "But Bhaiyya, this pen looks like an expensive stuff. The nib looks like made of gold. Real gold may be." He looks at Rohit who says "May be"
"Bhaiyya, if it so, then sure it a theft" says Arun with fun filled voice. Rohit smiles at him.Arun's mobile phone rings and he attends it.
"Hello"
............
"Yes, please tell me."
..........
"Oh really. Great news."
........
"Yes, sure. I will be there in an hour"
Arun disconnects the call and looks at Rohit happily. "Bhaiyya, Call was from bank. Our loan has got approved finally. Bank manager told me to meet him with the necessary documents. I shall leave now. With this loan amount we will be able to finish the climax sequence and release the movie soon."
Rohit smiles at him. "Good news really. Fine, you leave soon."
"Bhaiyya, I have heard a saying that, if we possess something by stealing, that stolen stuff shall have the capacity to bring fortune to us. May be your new pen has too got that power too. As soon as you start to use the pen, the long time pending loan got approved.Our long time tension got solved." says Arun kiddingly.
"Arun, Don't be silly. I don't believe in these craps.A lifeless thing cannot decide our life. We are alone responsible for whatever we are doing and no one else and nothing else.You better leave soon before the bank closes." says Rohit and he look into the file in his hand.
Arun smiles at him and leaves the place
