Here the final part of this OS ...
I had to divide it into two parts as i wanted a proper closure on all things ...
Maybe you'll find this part a little filmy as i really wanted Rathore to vent out all his frustations and also see a gulity Arjun .This part soley belongs to R-R
Also thanks for all the comments I have tried to reply to all of you .
Chapter 3:
The dawn had also got a new sunrise in his life as he rushed to lodge to get ready .He remembered the white shirt Sam had got him for his anniversary but he never had a chance to wear it as the following day Sikander and destroyed their lives. With the mission to rekindle old ties and a hope that he would be forgiven, he wore it and he left for office earlier than his usual time.
The ride to the office was more of flashback of their time spent .All the pranks, fights; parties were running in his mind like a movie. Sameer was always the first one to know about all his important decisions whether it was joining the Police Force or his confession about loving Roshini and then marrying her, he was a part of everything. Just by thinking about it tears made through his eyes ,Sameer had to tolerate his indifference, attitude and anger without actually being at fault. Now thinking about it he felt like fool, he had let Sikander succeed by alienate himself from all .With that thought he altered his planand called Sameer.
"Rathore, Come immediately to the beach .I had come here for a walk but there a dead body and don't let the team no, and he hung up
Rawte but who's'.body!! Damn it Phir se phone cut kar diya isne '.
Not within 15 minutes Rathore reached and found Arjun starting intently at the waves'.
"Rawte , kahan hai dead body ,did you find anyone "
"Rawte main tum se baat kar raha hun , Tum sun bhi rahe ho damn it " and with that he pulled him but what he saw was tears in his eyes '
"Rawte , agar yeh koi mazak , then we don't really tolerate such stuff in ETF " and turned around to leave "
"Sameer, hearing his name after so many years made him stop in his tracks'He could see that he was still staring at the sea"
Arjun knew that Sameer had stopped and waiting for him to continue ''He sighed and then face d him
I was not lying about a dead body .If you look carefully you will definitely find one in front of you .He saw him opening his mouth to speak but he cut him and continued 'I was living like a dead body from past three years and you know that . I could always see the pain in your eyes which you could mask so well in front of others but you could never hide anything from me.
Stop it Rawte!! agar tumne mujhe yahan yeh sab sunane ki liye bulaya hai toh phir I guess tum apna aur mera time waste kar rahe ho'and with that he marched towards to car.
"I am sorry Sameer", for everything he added after a pause ", please forgive me.
"Apology accepted Rawte , Anything you want to add "
"Sameer please, I really meant it "
"I also meant every word I said Rawte, was Roshini only your wife. Sorry to break it you she was my sister too .Do you think that I didn't love her or it didn't hurt me to see her drenched in her blood? It killed me to see you there tied helplessly next to her .Can you even imagine that what I went through to see you lying in hospital bed and shouting her name .Every time the doctors sedated you just to control you and they were asking my permission for it, can you even imagine what I felt like .Those were the worst 48 hrs of my life, but survived as I knew that I had to be there for you but no you proved me wrong. Arjun Rawte never needs anyone in his life .I wanted to kill Sikander as much as you did and that's the reason I accepted position in ETF .But why am I saying these thing to you, you hardly care.
Even after killing Sikander I have lost because he not only killed my sister but my best friend and brother too.
"Sam, main jaanta hun bahut naraaz hai tu mujhse ,par sach kahun toh Roshini ke jaane ke baad mujhe kuch samajh hi nahi aaya ki main kya karun . Mujhe lagtha tha ki koi merea dukh ko kabhi samjh nahi payega , aur na janne apne gusse main, maine tujhse ke kya kya nahi bol gaya ,par sach maan aise ek pal nahi hai jab mujhe uska afsos nahi hua . bas main kabhi himmat nahi jutaya paya .Aai-baba ko bhi bahut hurt kiya .Unka saath bhi beech main maine chod diya par dil main yeh yakeen that ki tu unka khayal rakhega aur tune wohi kiya .Tune apni hisse ki dosti toh poori tarah nibhayi bas shayad main hi har gaya .
Please Sameer , akhri baar mujhe maaf karde , !!!!
"Tume bahut der kar di Rawte "
"Tu toh janta hai na ki Dil ke mamlon main mujhe waqt lagta hai "
"Is baar tumne bahut waqt le liya Rawte "
And with that Rathore walked towards his car and Arjun slumped down realizing that today he had lost his best friend and brother forever. The tears which were hidden now flowed freely wetting his face and shirt.After few minutues he was brought backby a hand on his shoulder and he saw a half glass of cutting chai in front of his eyes .As his gaze went up he saw Sameer sipping the other half with a sly smile on his face .He couldn't help but smile amidst his tears as it finally sunk in that he wasn't alone .
"Waise Arjun , Mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum itna rone ki capacity rakhte ho .Agar kabhi Mumbai main paani ki kaami hui toh tumhe bola lenge ."
"Sam , mujhe laga tha ki time ke saath tumhara sense of humor accha ho jayega par lagta hai yeh aur bekaar ho gaya, koi nahi main theek kar dunga " And with this he enveloped him in a hug.
Finally estranged friends were together and chatted on everything which they had missed in these years.
"Waise kya plan hai Arjun "
"Kis cheez ka "
"Ayesha ki baat kar raha hun main , waise tere liye who best hai .Bilkul theek karka rakhge tereko "
"tu uska dost hai ya mera , Waise aaj baat karunga usse ,baki dekhte hai "
"yeh bhi Sahi hai , Waise all the best!! kyunki who sherni hai ,dhayan rakhna"he replied with a wink
With that they rose to go to office and for the first time in past 3years there was a genuine smile on their faces.
Sameer had hoped that one day things would be back to normal and today Arjun had finally moved on in his life.
Oblivious to these two, the trio in ETF was in a shocked state as for the first time both there seniors were late.
