Her eyes were closing slowly..Aadi (with teary eyes ) shouted - Vaani .!!..... No.....Vaani stuttered in low voice - Aa.. aadi !Her eyes closed .. Aadi was again and again tapping her cheeks and calling her name.. His tears was unstoppable.. He touched his wrist to check her nerves.. she was alive..He looked here and there... Thinking that more mens must be coming... He quickly held her in his hands and ran out of the building .... The moment Aadi went outside the building, mens started coming ... He managed to ran away without coming in their gaze and took Vaani to an abandoned place which was at a distance .....It was a small room where a broken folding was kept..He laid Vaani there....The bullet had hit Vaani's shoulder ... Aadi was shivering out of fear... A fear of losing her... He saw that a small first aid kit was attatched with Vaani's vest....He quickly took off her vest and was dumbstruck to see her shirt which had turned red because of her flowing blood...He forwarded his shivering hands towards her to open her shirt buttons but stopped thinking of something.....She saw Vaani's face .. her closed eyes were increasing his heartbeat and fear....He took a sigh and removed her shirt from her shoulder where the bullet was shot...He managed to take out the bullet from her shoulder and bandaged the wound....During this time... In pain , Vaani had scratched Aadi many times by her nails .... he was just praying god... " pls god, just save my Vaani " Aadi managed to stop her bleeding but still a lot of bood had been flowed and Vaani was still laying down unconscious as if she had no life...Aadi's tears were continuously rolling down .He held her hand tightly and was looking her face ....Aadi - why Vaani.. you did it ? What if something happens to you..? Dad left me but now I can't live without you.... Your best friend will not let you happen anything... That's a promise...!!He kissed her hand and keep straight looking her face ... His mind was occupied by the  stuffs what she did for him and the precious moments that he spent with her ...Slowly the day turns to evening ..Vaani was still unconscious.. Aadi went out in search of some food ...Next day..Morning...Avni and others were trying to contact Aadi and Vaani.. Finally they got the location of Vaani's bluetooth.... A team was sent their..On the other hand...Vaani got concious and slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was alone in a small and old room... She tried to recall .. the last thing she could remember was when   she was in Aadi's hand and shotted down..She saw her shoulder which was bandaged ...She was still wearing the same blooded shirt...He took a sigh and tried to stand up . The moment she got up .. she shouted with pain and again sat ....Aadi who was standing out ran inside ...He saw Vaani holding her shoulder and growning in pain.. He came near her ..Aadi shouted - who said you to stand.. stupid?
