There are differences of opinion everywhere. Until today, this world might not have agreed on any single matter. But on this point, there was no difference, no second opinion, and no doubt—that Kanchan is the most beautiful girl in the world. A height of five feet nine inches and every limb cast in a perfect mold. They say, "Where the sun cannot reach, the poet reaches." Meaning, the boundary of a poet's imagination is limitless. Where the rays of the sun cannot reach, a poet can reach even there through his imagination. But my claim is that after seeing this young woman, even their power of imagination will give up. Despite millions of efforts, they will not be able to capture her beauty on paper. Automatically, something like this will escape their lips:
?"If she walks in the sun, the sunflower would turn towards her—if she walks on a moonlit night, the partridge bird would break its bond with the moon—her voice dissolves nectar in the ears—O God, we have seen your miracle."

?Even after seeing the beauty without clothes, there was no movement in Vijay's body.
?This is the irony of this world. Here, everyone notices something special possessed by others. But the owner of that special thing is unable to consume it. Because everything here is incomplete. Everyone has some deficiency or the other. The rich man cannot eat his favorite food due to illness, and the poor man cannot eat his favorite food due to lack of money. The whole world is in sorrow because everyone is incomplete. Only God is complete, but He also makes His devoted followers complete. And one who becomes complete no longer has a desire for material pleasures.
?"What right did you have to ruin my life?" A stream of tears flowed from her shell-like eyes. Wiping the tears that spilled over to her cheeks, she spoke again—"You are not fit for marriage."
?"No Kanchan—please believe me, I was perfectly healthy—but after marriage, suddenly I don't know what has happened to me—I am getting treatment for this from doctors—and I will be cured soon."
?But Kanchan's tears showed no sign of stopping.

?The moon, like a silver platter, was in its full youth. The army of all the stars in the sky was also following the moon, trying to make the sky luminous. It was around four-thirty. Clouds, wandering here and there like morning walkers, were repeatedly making unsuccessful attempts to stop the moonlight from spreading. Several times they even found success. But when the moonlight spread again, they would get angry at their habit of not being able to stay in one place. And once again, they would get back to performing their duty. However, even with the moonlight spreading, there was not a bit of reduction in the desolation of the hills spread all around. Till the last horizon of vision, hills, hills, and only hills were visible. On the road built by piercing the chest of those hills, a Maruti 1000 car was moving forward at its full velocity, conversing with the wind. Wherever it passed, it would deliver a slap on the face of the silence spread in the atmosphere. To the wind coming from the opposite direction, its speed seemed suspicious, so the wind would also run back towards the car. But on failing to reach the car, it would realize its mistake. The only person present in the car was driving with his full capacity. This car had come about thirty kilometers away from the city when suddenly he had to apply the brakes. Because right in the middle of the road, a person was lying fallen on his stomach. Exactly five steps away, a motorcycle was also toppled over. On the right side of the road were sky-high mountains, while on the left was a thousands-of-feet deep gorge. Sagar opened the window and stepped onto the road. He moved swiftly towards the person lying on the road. Coming closer, Sagar leaned down and, catching the person by the shoulder, turned him upright.

?Bang!
?Vijay did not want to give Sagar a chance to escape. That is why, without any conversation, without any intimidation or threat, he fired immediately. Because Vijay believed that many times an armed person starts thinking that the unarmed person standing in front of him can no longer do any harm. Before committing the murder, he screams and says—now see the consequence of enmity with me. Whereas the unarmed person senses that now this man is not going to leave me at any cost. Now he will stop only after killing. Thinking "Why not make one last effort to survive?", he attacks the armed person. And it is possible he might snatch his weapon and finish him instead. It is not necessary that it happens this way, but still, such a possibility cannot be denied.
?Undoubtedly, Vijay had fired with great agility. But just a moment before the trigger was pulled, Sagar's eyes had fallen on the revolver. Sagar saved himself by jumping backwards but fell on his back on the road. Since the car's headlights were on, they could see each other.
?Sagar was just about to get up when—
?Bang!
?Sagar applied pressure on his hands and launched his body into the air. This time luck supported him fully. Perhaps because he had not given up hope yet. He was making every possible effort to survive. His body had jumped only a foot from the road. Exactly then, the bullet passed underneath him and got embedded in the car's tire.
?Sagar had cheated death, which had come over his head, twice. The fear of death had, as if, filled his body with electricity. Displaying amazing agility, he stood up and, keeping his eyes fixed on Vijay standing behind him, rushed towards the car.
