CHAPTER 18:

Raj's home: 7 15 am

Shree was tensed like hell. He rang the doorbell. When it opened he found the most lovely eyes looking at him. He smiled and she smiled back. "good morning Shree.." she brought him back "hm.. 15 minutes early.. impressive.."

"hi.. sir ready hai?" he was nervous. "bhai tho ready hai.. are you ready?" she smiled and let him in. Raj was with his papers. "good morning sir.." he looked up. "good morning Shree' so slept well yesterday?" he was cunning.  "ya sir.. fine.."

"ok then lets have breakfast'" he sat at one end with Ridhi and Shree on his either sides. Breakfast was silent. Shree was so nervous. At times he peeped at Ridhi and at times she peeped back. Raj was having fun with their antics, but kept a serious face. By the end of breakfast, "so what have you decided.?" He turned to Shree and he choked his food.

He relaxed for a second.  "sir, we have decided not to break your trust.. it was started by me and she was all shocked. So I'll give her all the time to think. Whatever her decision is, I am ready to accept it. Sir we will not do anything that will make you ashamed of us.. aap hum pe viswas kar sakthe hai.." he was frightened a bit, but didn't want to break the trust of a brother.

"hm... kaafi 'we',  'hum' 'us'  aarahe hai.. I think aap dono abhi se couple banne ke koshish mein ho'" this time Ridhi choked her tea.

"nahi sir .. Ridzi aur mein aise kabhi nahi socha hai.."

"RIDZI?" he looked stern. "Sorry sir.. I mean Ridhi.."

"hm.. waise tum dono ke bare mein aur kaun kaun janthe hai?"

"Riya' aur Chotu ko thode bohot pathe hai.." Shree said slowly.

"wa' aap log tho chupa rustam nikla.. Aur'Arjun, Sam aur mein tho ekdum bewakoof '"

"nahi.. sir'" "nahi.. bhai.." both cried together. They looked awkwardly at each other. Then there was silence again. "maybe its time.." Ridhi thought.

"waise bhai.. office mein aur bhi kuch hai jo aap sab nahi janthe hai.."

 Shree gave "what are doing?" look. Raj noticed it. "what?" Raj asked.

"are you sure?" Shree asked with his eyes. "let me try.." she answered back in the same way. Raj was now getting annoyed. "guys.. back to the topic please..". they came back.

"bhai.. its about.. Riya and'. Arjun Bhaiya'" Raj who was drinking water while hearing spat out. He was chocking badly. Ridhi ran to help him.. it took a while for him to recover..

After a while.. "WHAT'ARE YOU SERIOUS?" he was having a hard time to breathe..

 "bhai.. relax.. Please.. Arjun bhai don't know about it.. its just that.. Riya loves him so much.." Raj was still not out of shock. "did she tell him?"

"are you joking bhai..??  wo kaha ho.. aur wo abhi thak zinda ho.. ??aise kabhi ho sakthe hai kya?"

"hm.. but I don't think Arjun will accept it.. you know it.."

"patha hai sir.. Riya isiliye aise chup hai.." Shree supported his best friend.

" bhai.. just think.. Aur kithne din Arjun bahi aise akele jiyege,? Unke life mein firse pyaar lana hoga na??. Please help us. .."

"wow Ridhi.. ek din mein ithna himmath.. ?" he looked at his sis. She blushed. "aise kuch nahi hai bhai.. bas Riya really loves him.."

"hm.. jo tum keh rahe ho.. wo tho sahi hai.. par Arjun ko akal dena.. wo mere bas ke baath nahi hai.." he knew he couldn't help in this situation. "patha hai bhai.. par Arjun bhaiya ko patha chalna chahiye ke unhe fir se jeena hoga.. dheere dheere wo ehsas dena hoga.. please be with us.." she pleaded.

"ok.. I'll be with you.. but for now tum dono ke baath hum teen mein hi rehege.. Shree if I feel you crossing the limit.. tho tumhe mujhe nahi, baaki donoko jawab dena hoga.. did u get what I mean?"

"yes sir.. I understand.. but I swear aise kuch nahi hoga.."

"ok.. lets go.. Ridhi tumhe college chodthe hai.." they were out by 10 minutes. She was sitting in the back seat with the 2 gents in front. They reached college. "ok bye Ridhi.."

"bye  bhaiya'" she smiled at her brother.. then just looked at Shree. He nodded and she left. They drove off. "sir aap aise chup kyu hai?"

"tum log aise shock treatment du tho mein kya karu..?? pehle tum aur Ridhi.. ab Arjun aur Riya.. it takes time to process.."

"sir' Ridhi ko Arjun Sir ke aur Sikander wale encounter ke bare mein zyada patha nahi.. before she does something, hume usse batha dena chahiye na?"  Raj thought for a while. It was sure that she would be disturbed. But he should tell her. "hm.. bathana hoga.. I'll do it soon.."
