Ch 2.
Rathod: Arjun,tu janta hai ki,Zebbie is very sensitive.Kamzor dil ki insaan hai,fir bhi,sirf tere liye hi woh strong rehti hai.Why do you always hurt her?
Arjun(irritated): Ab tujhe bhi samjhana parega kya? Uski harkato aur baato se Roshni ki yaad ati hai.Bhale hi woh mujhse bohut zyada pyaar karti hai,magar,main kabhi bhi usse bohut pyaar nahi karpaunga,kabhi bhi usse patni ka haq nahi de paunga.
Rathod was now angry at Arjun.
Rathod(angry): Thik hai.Tujhe jo karna hai kar.Tujhe toh koi parwa nahi hai.Tu ek zindagi ko barbad karne wala hai.Agar tu Zebbie se pyaar nahi karta hai,toh,usse sagai kyun ki?Uski zindagi barbad karne keliye? Aur,tu kaisa bhai hai,huh? Apni behen se jhagra kar raha thha,woh bhi,jo ek police officer hai,humare rank ki.ACP hai Ashika,woh bhi Anti Terrorist Cell ki.Warn kar raha hu tujhe.Agar,seriously,Zebbie ko kuch hua,toh,tera ETF se transfer karwane mein mujhe zara bhi der nahi lagegi.Saboot bhi hai aur gawa bhi.
Saying this,Rathod calls Ashika while he walks out of Arjun's house.
Scene changes to Ashika.
Ashika calls Aashka.
Ashika: Aashka,Zebbie ka kuch pata chala?
Aashka: No,Ma'am.Unka phone bandh araha hai.Cell location trace nahi ho paraha hai.
Ashika(clamping her face in tension): WHAT??? Ok.Tum try karte raho.I want results,is that clear?
Aashka: Yes,Ma'am.
Ashika disconnects the call.
Suddenly,again,Ashika's cell buzzes.It was Sameer Rathod.
Ashika(tensed and worried): Bhai,Zebbie ka kuch pata nahi chal raha hai.Uska phone off aaraha hai.I am really tensed.Najane kis haal mein hai.Aap kaha ho?
Rathod: Main headquarters jaraha hu.Wahan pe humara technical expert se kehta hu to trace her phone location.
Ashika(worried): koi fayda nahi hai,Bhai.Uss Arjun Rawte ne bohut zor ka dhakka diya hai.Bohut hurt kiya hai usse.All we can do is pray for her safe arrival.
Rathod: Yeah,right.Toh,main fir Zebbie ke ghar jaata hu.Tum aur Rohan bhi aao wahan pe.
Ashika: Haan,bhai.Main aarahi hu.
All the three ACPs zoom off to Zebbie's house.
Zebbie was deeply hurt.While she was driving in the almost empty roads,Arjun's words were continuously ringing in her head.It was not leaving her.She stopped her SUV,abruptly,and,banged her head,with the steering wheel.She was really very hurt.Nothing could ease her heart ache.Finally,she started crying.She cried loudly,like never before.
Zebbie(crying and talking to herself):Apne aise kaise kehdia,Arjun? Kya mujhe koi haq nahi hai aapke upar? Kya mujhe haq nahi aap par apna haq jatane ki? Kya mujhe koi haq nahi hai to protect you? Aapko mere hone ya na hone se farak nahi parhta? Aapko mujhse chir hai na? Thik hai.Main kal se aapke samne bhi nahi aaungi.Aapko kisi bhi tarha rokne ki koshish nahi karungi.Aap,aaj se azaad ho.Aaj se main aapko iss benaam,bematlab rishte se azaad kar rahi hu. You are free,Arjun Rawte.Main aaj se aapke upar koi zor nahi dalungi mujhse pyaar karne keliye.Par,fir bhi,main aapko marte dam tak mohabbat karti rahungi.Vada hai mera.
Zebbie wiped her tears and gave a faint smile to herself.She saw the ring in her hands which was of her and Arjun's engagement.It reminded her of the beautiful moments,his so-called love and care,false feelings.
Zebbie thought,"Jab rishta hi nahi rahega,toh,iss anguthi ko pehenke rakneka kya fayda?"
Zebbie,with lots of difficulty and pain,took out the engagement ring from her finger.
She looked at it for the last time,She kept it very carefully in her bag,as if she was keeping something precious,which was close to her heart.
After keeping the ring in the bag,she wiped her tears,composed herself and zoomed off to her house.
Precap: Zebbie's final decision.
