Ch 6.
Riya is confused whether she should tell them or not.After a lot of thinking,she started to talk.
Riya: Rathod sir,aapko main apna bara bhai manti hu.Toh,I hope ki aap mere iss faisle mein mera saath denge.
Rathod: Of course,baccha.But,tera kya faisla hai?
Shree:Ri,bey jhijak hoke bolo.
Riya brings her left hand forward.She looks at her ring finger where Arjun put the engagement ring,the replica towards to would be married life.A lone tear left her eye.With all courage,she took out the engagement ring.Everybody were shocked seeing Riya doing that.
Ayesha: Riya,yeh kya kar rahi ho?Apna anguthi kyun nikal rahi ho?
Rathod: Riya,what r u doing?Yeh kya kar rahi ho? Aisa maat karo.
Shree: Are you out of ur mind,Ri?
Chotu: yeh kya kar rahi hai,Ri?
Riya: Main jo bhi kar rahi hu,ekdum thik kar rahi hu.Arjun ko track pe lane keliye kar rahi,samjhe ya samjhau?
Rathod: Riya,aisi bachkani harkatein acchi nahi lagti.Rahi baat,Arjun ko track pe laane ki,what does that mean?
Ayesha: Haan,Riya? Bolo.
Riya: Well,aap sab toh jante hi ho ki the ACP Arjun Suryakant Rawte se koi galti ki gunjaish nahi hoti hai,par,unho ne yeh galti ki hai ki woh mujhpe haath uthaye thhe.Bas,unhe unki galti ka ehsaas dilana hai mujhe.Aap ready ho?
Rathod: Baat toh tumne sahi ki hai.
Ayesha: Arey wah,Riya.Kya accha idea hai.
After a while,Arjun comes there from home.
He rushes to Riya's side.She saw him and signalled him to help her to get up.
He helped her and,suddenly,he saw her left hand's ring finger empty.He was shocked.
Arjun: Riya,yeh kya hai?tumhari sagaai ki anguthi kahaan gayi?
Riya: Relax,Arjun.
Arjun: Relax... No... Batao,kahaan hai?
Riya: Chillaiye maat,Arjun.Yeh rahi sagaai ki anguthi,Lijiye.
By then,the others come inside and see that there plan is working.
Ayesha nudges Rathod.
Ayesha: Aab aapki yaar ki acchi se class hogi.I m so proud of Riya.
Rathod: Haan,woh toh hai.
Shree: chaliye,hum bhi shuru hote hai.
Chotu: Chal.
Rathod: Kya hua,Arjun?itna gussa kyun ho raha hai?
Arjun: Dekh na Sam,Riya ne apni sagai ki anguthi mujhe wapas de di hai.She wants to break up with me.
Ayesha: What???? Riya,how can you do this to him?Maana ki usse galti hui hai,par,usske liye itna bara kadam.
Riya: Relax,Ayesha? I know what I am doing.
Shree: Are u nuts,Ri? Why the hell r u doing like this with Arjun sir? He loves you,Ri.
Riya: Oh really!!!! If he loves me,then,why did he raise his hand on me?Why did he say those harsh words to me? Why? If i dont have the right on anything connected to him,then,whats the use of being his mangetar?Its better if u back out.
Arjun was shell shocked after hearing this.Riya blinked at everyone,secretly.
Arjun: Mana mujhse galti hui hai.Haan haan,i admit my mistake,Riya. And I am extremely sorry for that,Mujhe woh sab nahi karna chahiye thha.I just love you a lot.Yeh yaad rakhna.
After saying this,Arjun gets up and tries to go out of this,when,he suddenly felt someone hugging him from the back.Riya signalled the others to leave
arjun: choro mujhe,Riya.
Riya: Chhor du,aapko? Thik hai,jaiye aap.aapko kya farak parta hai main jeeyu ya maru?
Arjun swiftly turned towards her and clamped her mouth.
Arjun: Bhool ke bhi aisa maat bolna.Main jee nahi paunga tumhare bina.I love you a lot,Riya. And,I am sorry for yesterday's behaviour.
Riya: Hmm.MAAFI accepted. Waise aap kahin jaarahe thhe kya?
Arjun: Haan.Kahin jaraha thha.Kyunki,tumne yeh anguthi haata di hai,socha main kisi aurke saath sagai karlu? Kya khyal hai?
Riya(clutching his collar): Oye,ACP Arjun Suryakant Rawte,yeh galti kabhi bhi maat karna,warna aapka encounter kardungi.Aap sirf aur sirf mere ho,aur kisike bhi nahi,samjhhe ya samjhhau? Jaldi,pehnaiye aap mujhe woh anguthi.
Arjun: abhi pehnata hu.
Arjun takes her left hand and puts the ring on her finger.He slowly takes her palm on his and gently,placed a few wet kisses on it.Seeing this,a lone tear escaped from her eye.
Riya: I love you,Arjun.
Arjun: I love you,too.
After this,they hugged each other very tightly,promising to be with each other,for lifetimes to come.As
Rathod,Ayesha,Chotu and Shree were the witness of this sweet patchup.
Ayesha had tears in her eyes.Rathod saw this and hugged her tightly,ensuring her to be with her all the lifetime.
Riya broke the hug and placed a sweet kiss on Arjun's lips.Arjun also responded to the kiss,as He hugged her tightly.Also,Arjun placed a trail of wet kisses on her forehead,eyes,nose ears.
Suddely,Arjun took out a chain and a box of sindoor.
He applied a pinch of sindoor o her maang and tied the sacred wedding chain on her neck.She was amazed at his actions.Her eyes welled up with tears of joy.
The others came inside and wished them a happy married life.
"Tera hi bas hona chahoon,
Tere drad pe rona chahoon,
Tere dil ke inn zakhmon pe,
Marham main hona chahoon."
Arjun and Riya,now,married,promising each other to stay together for lifetimes to come and share joys and sorrows together.
The End.
