Part D(4)
Next morning Riya woke up first, she saw Arjun was still sleeping. She sat on the bed and staring at his face, Arjun was looking so innocent. Slowly she kissed on his forehead and caresses with his hair. At this time Arjun opened his eyes and saw Riya sitting beside him.
Riya (smile): Good morning
Arjun: Good morning J kal raat thik se neend ayi thi na? koi pareshani to nahi hui?
Riya: bilkul bhi nahi. Aur tumhe?
Arjun: kahi saalo baad itni achi neend ayi.
Riya picked up his palm and touched it with her cheek. Slowly she kissed his strong palm. "aab uth jao, main breakfast ready karti hu."
Arjun agreed with her. After getting fresh he went to his private gym area and riya went to the kitchen. At first she prepared Arjun's special cutting chai and coffee for her. And some sandwiches. Arjun was busy in gym, Riya called him; "breakfast is ready Arjun," After few minutes Arjun came and joined with her. Suddenly Riya remembered her phone, "Mera phone kaha hai?"
Arjun: Shayad drawing room k table pe hai
Riya ran to bring it. She shouted from there "Ohhh god.. Arjun ye on kyun nahi ho raha?"
Arjun: vaha se kyun chilla rahi ho? yaha le aao
Riya came to him and showed her phone, and said in mournful voice, "its not working, on hi nahi ho raha"
Arjun: kal bearish me isse leke bheeg rahi thi na?
Riya silently nodded her head "yes"
Arjun: Naturally. Ye gaya.. dustbin me phenk do
Riya: Ye mera fvrt tha.. aur aab main sabse contact kaise karu? Issme kitne sare numbers bhi the.
Arjun: Ro mat.. main tumhara SIM mere phone me dalke dekhta hu.
Arjun put her SIM in his phone and they found 50 missed call msgs. Sameer, Ayesha and Shree called her almost whole night. They both were surprised, and looked at each other. "aab kya hoga?"
Arjun: call karke batado u r safe
Riya: tum batado
Arjun: pagal hu kya? Tum batao. Ayesha ko phone kardo, use kahe do vo bakion ko bata dega, aur suno use mat kahena k tum yaha ho.
Riya: Ok... (she called Ayesha)
Over phone
Ayesha (excited): Riya.. Tu kaha hai? Tu thik to hai na? kal raat se call kar rahe the hum sab, tera kuch pata hi nahi tha
Riya: Cool Ayesha.. Cool.. thik hu main, ghar me hu. Actually kal barish me bheeg k phone kharab ho gaya hai. Aur baat nahi kar sakti office me milenge
Ayesha: yeah ok.. ek baat bata, uss khadus se kal mili thi kya?
Riya: Khadus??
Arjun looked at her. Riya hold her ear and make shamefacedness
Ayesha: Aree Arjun sir.. mili thi kya?
Riya: vo khadus nahi hai..
Ayesha: Kya kaha? Tu thik to hai na? Arjun sir to maha akdu hai.. khudko samajhta kya hai?
Riya: bas kar Ayesha.. vo bohot ache hai.. tu nahi samjhengi. Main rakhti hu, office me milte hai. Rathod sir aur shree ko bata dena
Ayesha: ok... take care
Riya: Am really sorry.. vo Ayesha..
Arjun: no its ok.. sach aaj samne sunne ko mila
Riya(sit close to him): nahi Arjun, ye sach nahi hai, log aise sochte hai, par ye sach nahi hai.
Arjun: to kya hai sach?
Riya (held his shoulder from back): Tum jaisa dikhate ho vaisa ho nahi. Tum andar se bohot kind n soft ho, duniya k liye rude-harsh. U don't want to reveal ur this side to everyone. Tumhara colleagues jo tumhare sath din k adhe se bhi zyada waqt bitate hai, vo bhi tumhe samajh nahi paye (slowly she leaned her face on his shoulder) Akdu ya khadus these r not suit to u.
Arjun: bakion ki tarah tum bhi to mujhe aisa hi samajhte the na? Rude-harsh- (more stongly) Akdu n Khadus
Riya: Not always, pyar bhara gusse me kabhi kabhi muh se nikal jata tha,but kabhi bhi seriously nahi socha ye. Nahi to tumse pyar karne ki himmat nahi dikha pati
Arjun: Mere aise behavior k baad bhi tumne mujhse pyar kyun kiya? I have hurt u a lot. Pyar karne layak kuch bhi nahi hai mujhme
Riya: Agar kisi wajahse main tumse pyar karti to vo pyar, pyar nahi attraction hota. Aur main tumse pyar karti hu, tumhare kisi bhi quality se nahi. Yes main hurt to bohot hua, agar meri jagah koi aur ladki hoti to vo kabki jaa chuki hoti. But I can see ur pain in ur eyes, agar main tumhe chhodke jati to tum shayad aur bhi akele ho jate. Iss liye maine self- respect se zyada pyar ko importance diya.
Arjun: Tum bhi to mujhe chhodke jaa rahi thi na? vo bhi hamesha k liye
Riya: Am sorry.. mujhe shayad aisa nahi karna chahiye tha, par us waqt mujhe laga sab khatam ho gaya, mere jeene k liye kuch bhi bacha nahi. Agar kal raat tum nahi aate to shayad..
Arjun (turned towards her, and placed his finger on her lips): Kabhi mat kahena ye.. am not letting u go anywhere.(he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he was trying to control his emotion) Thanks for coming in my life.
Riya: Am blessed to have U in my life. (after some silence) Arjun 8;30 baj gaye ready ho jate hai, meri saree bhi dry ho chuki hai,main vahi pahen leti hu, tum bhi ready ho jao
Arjun got up and went to get ready. After some time Riya came to the drawing room, Arjun also came there.
Riya: jaldi karo, files le liye?
Arjun: wait a minute, kal tumhe thik se dekha nahi, aaj naseeb ne dobara ye mauka diya hai.. Dekhne do.
Riya felt shy, she was standing in front him, leaning her head down
Arjun came close to her and held her chin up, "U r looking beautiful. Blue is just perfect for u. am really sorry, last night I spoiled ur party. Am really sorry."
Riya: No Arjun, don't say sorry anymore, jo hona tha ho gaya. Am so happy now. Aab jo kuch bhi ho raha hai uske zimmedar bhi tum hi ho.. Life me khushi aur gham dono ko accept karna chahiye. Aab dekhna complete ho gaya hai to chale?
Arjun(smiled): okkk chalo.
Riya: sir, aap mujhe office k kuch age utar dena. Hum sath me andar nahi jaenge, nahi to sab ko shaq ho jaega
After hearing that word "Sir", Arjun looked at her, "kya kaha tumne?"
Riya(surprisingly): Kya kaha?
Arjun: "Sir", "aap" ye kya hai?
Riya: ohh main bas practice kar rahi thi.
Arjun: Utro, gadi se utro
Riya(shockingly): what? Bas 2words k liye car se utarne k liye bol rahe ho?
Arjun: aree pagal, office se age utarna tha na tumhe, to office aane hi vala hai, so ma'am aap utrenge?
Riya: ohh sorry.. yes, bye..
Arjun: tum office jao, main thodi der me pohouchta hu.
Riya(smiled): Ok
Riya entered in ETF office, Ayesha n Shree bas tut padta hai uske upar. "Aree tu aaj subah subah saree me? Kya baat hai?? Kuch khas hai kya aaj?"
Riya(tried to avoid them): nahi to kuch nahi, bas yehi tha mere pas isliye...
Shree: Are ruk ja, tu ye kal party me pahenke gayi thi na?
Riya: haan, to kya hua?
Ayesha: sach batana Riya, kuch hua hai kya? Kal Arjun sir gaye the tujhe dhundne, vo tujhe mle the kya?
Riya: Arjun sir mujhe dhundne gaye the? Nahi to vo mujhe nahi mile, main kal raat kisi dost k ghar par thi. Phone barish me bheeg gayi hai, aaj ghar laut-te waqt new set lena padega.
Shree: To tu dost k kapde pahenke bhi to aasakti thi na?
Riya: Oyee Shree tu mujhe interrogate kar raha hai kya?
Ayesha: aree gussa kyun ho rahi hai? Arjun sir kaha hai?
Riya(raised her voice): Arjun kaha hai mujhe kya pata? Unhe phone karke pucho na
Shree(mischievously): Daal me zarur kuch kala hai, mujhe to lag raha hai puri daal hi kaali hai. Chal Ayesha pata karte hai
Rathod entered in the cabin, "kya investigate karne ja rahe ho?"
Ayesha: nothing
Shree: Nothing kya?Sir ye Riya na kuch bata nahi rahi hai
Rathod: Riya? Aree riya tum kab aayi? Thik ho tum? Kal kaha chale gaye, phone bhi off tha
Riya: vo sir, barish me bheeg k phone kharab ho gaya hai, aur kal me ek dost k ghar par thi
Rathod: Arjun mila tha tumse?
Riya: nahi sir
Shree: dekha sir. Jab se aayi hai ek hi baat boli ja rahi hai, Arjun sir usko nahi mila to vo kaha gaya hoga?
Rathod: Rawte abhi tak office nahi aaya?
Ayesha: no sir. Sir aapki tabiyat kaisi hai?
Rathod: Am fine now, don't know kal achanak se kya ho gaya tha
Ayesha looked at shree (in her mind) "shree tu to gaya.."
Arjun entered in the office, he came quickly and put a bag in his locker.
Arjun: Good morning guys
Shree was staring at him continuously, and thinking "har roz to hum unhe good morning wish karte hai, aaj sir ne kiya. Kuch to gadbad hai."
Arjun was watching him, "Shree..."
Shree didn't response
Again, "Shree..."
Shree: Yes..yes sir..
Arjun: Is there any problem with you?
Shree: no sir.. not at all..
Arjun: good to hear this.. to guys kaam shuru kare?
Rathod: Kal raat tum kaha the Rawte?
Arjun(looked at him surprisingly): Apne ghar me. Aur kaha
Arjun (very calmly turned to Riya, as nothing is happened): Riya... good to see you, is everything fine?
Riya(in low voice): Yes sir, all ok
Rathod: lets back to work
They all got busy in work. At lunch time, Rathod, Shree and Ayesha went outside, Arjun and Riya were in office.
Arjun stood up and went to his locker, and brought the box. "Riya"
Riya looked at him, "this is for u"
Riya: Kya hai isme?
Arjun: kholke dekho
Riya unpacked the box and it was an expensive mobile. She was surprised, "kiski kya zarurat thi?"
Arjun: kyun main nahi de sakta tumhe?
Riya: nahi vo baat nahi hai. I had a wish to own this set in some day, vo din aaj hoga, ye maine kabhi nahi socha tha. U r fulfilling my all wishes. (she stood up) can I hug u?
Arjun (opened his arms) and Riya hugged him tightly, "Thank you Arjun, Thank u for everything."
Slowly she loosed him. Arjun: now change ur SIM, n put it in this set
Riya followed his instructions. Arjun just turned back to go to his seat. Riya called him, Arjun turned to her,Riya "hold on hold on" She took a snap.
Arjun: Kya hua?
Riya: inauguration of this phone
Riya set this snap as her wallpaper, she was so happy. After some moment all 3 came back from lunch.
Ayesha: Riya tune lunch kar liya na?
Riya: yes I have already done my lunch.
They all got busy with their work. At evening Riya went to the cafeteria to bring some coffee, she left her phone on her seat. Suddenly Shree looked that "Wow... ye phone kiski hai? Ye phone to humara office me kisike paas nahi hai." Arjun tried to say something but before that Shree jumped and grabbed the phone, (making a weird sound) "Isme to Arjun sir ki photo hai. (he looked at him) Are sir aap aaj jo shirt pahene hai na is spic me bhi vahi shirt hai. Sir ye apka phone hai." Rathod and Ayesha all were looking at Arjun. Ayesha: Shree phone mujhe dikha.
Arjun (in his mind) "Mera photo!!! Riya ne wallpaper set kiya hai kya? Ye riya bhi na. aur Shre aab Ayesha. Aab pata nahi kya kya hoga"
Suddenly Riya entered in the cabin and saw that her phone is traveling by their hand. She didn't care anyone and shouted, " Guys vo mera phone hai. Vapas do, pata nahi kya tumhe dusro k phone ko haath nahi lagate."
(they almost forgot about their seniors)
Shree(surprisingly): Tera hai???
Riya(snatched that from his hand): haan mera hai. Kyun tujhe koi problem hai?
Shree (more surprisingly): Tune kab liya? Tera phone to kal barish bheeg ke kharab ho gayi hai na? Ye kab aya, subah tak to nahi tha
Riya: Ye...vo...(looked at Arjun from the corner of her eyes) Vo ye mujhe gift mila hai
Ayesha n Shree (Surprisingly together): Kisne diya?
Ayesha: itni expensive gift... kisne di hai?
Riya: Dost ne.. aur kisne..
Shree: Subah tak to koi gift nahi aayi
Riya: Tum logo k jane k baad mera ek dost aaya tha, usne hi diya hai
Ayesha: So lucky u r
Shree: eekkk minute... to isme Arjun sir ki photo kyun hai?
Riya felt nervous. Suddenly Arjun tried to control the situation, "shree kaam karro."
Shree (didn't get his voice): Ek minute sir
Arjun(strongly): Shree.. apne kaam pe dhyan do, use chhodo. Riya ne kaha na ye phone uski hai. Phir itne sare sawal ki kya zarurat?
Shree: Par sir isme aapki pic hai, dekhiye
Arjun: kisiki bhi photo ho, ye Riya ki personal matter hai. Tumhe interfere karne ki koi zarurat nahi
Shree went to his seat but Rathod-Ayesha n Shree looked at them with a big doubt. Ayesha whispered to Rathod, "aapni photo Riya k phone me dekhne k baad bhi Arjun sir itna cool react kar rahe hai. Zarur in dono ne humse kuch chhupa rahe hai."
Rathod: hmm... Something is fishy. Abhi chhodo, baad me dekhte hai
They all tried to get busy in work but all were remembering that incident and trying to sort it out. It was almost 10:30 PM; Rathod and Ayesha were ready to leave.
Ayesha: Riya kaam ho gaya?
Riya: Nahi abhi bhi kuch baki hai
Ayesha: abhi chal na, kal subah aake khatam kar legi
Riya: Nahi main khatam karke hi jaungi, tum log jao.
Rathod: R u sure Riya?
Riya: Yes sir.. aap jaiye..
Shree: Ok take care Riya.. Good night
Riya: Good night guys
They all left Riya with Arjun. After reaching to parking area, Rathod said "kisikohar jane ki jaldi nahi hai na?"
Ayesha nodded her head, and Shree also said "No"
Rathod: then chalo aaj iss case ko solve kar hi lete hai
They all sat in the car and started waiting for them.
After almost 15-20 mins Arjun n Riya came out together, and Riya entered in the car with Arjun.
From the other car, Shree: aree Riya Arjun sir k sath ja rahi hai..
Ayesha: dhire bol, nahi to unhe pata chal jaega
They started follow them from a safe distance. Arjun and Riya also were unaware about there plan. Riya was humming the song "badmash dil ye thag hai bada, badmash dil yun tujhse juda..."
Arjun was listening this, "sirf humming hi karti rahogi ya kuch sunaogi bhi?"
Riya smiled at him and started singing this song. They both were enjoying their presence a lot. They were almost reached. And Rathod- Ayesha and Shree were following them (they off all the car lights, as no one can see them). Arjun stopped the car to Riya's place. Riya looked at him and said(with a smile): Good night Arjun
She just turned to open the door; suddenly Arjun stopped her and pulled her towards him.
Riya lose her balance and leaned on his chest, Arjun gave her no chance to say a word, he kissed her passionately. Riya was surprised. But after few seconds she also responds to him. After that she hugged him and placed a good night kiss on his cheek and left the car.
Other car scene
Rathod Ayesha and Shree watched each n every cozy moment between them.
Shree (shockingly, almost shouted){when Arjun pulled Riya to him}: Arjun sir... (Ayesha quickly shut his mouth, and whispered, "ankhein bhi bandh karle ye censored scene hai.)
Shree: dekhne de yaar, ye sab moment zindegi me har waqt dekhne ko nahi milte
Rathod: Finally...Good job Arjun
Ayesha looked at him and said, "yes finally. Aab iss Riya ki bachhi to gayi kaam se. aane do kal office."
Shree: Thik kaha.. humse chhupaya.. tujhse chupata to chalta.. mujhse chupaya.. maine uske liye kya kuch nahi kiya. Kal sir k drink me tablets mila diya.. ye baat alag hai k Arjun sir ne piya nahi. (Ayesha pinched him, and said in low voice, "shut up shree. Agar kisiko pata chal gaya na.hum dono ki chhutti ho jaegi")
Rathod: kya??tablets??? tumne drink me tablets milaya??
Ayesha: nahi nahi kuch nahi.. vo to aise hi
Rathod: thik hai.. but tum dono kal Riya ya ohir Arjun se kuch bhi nahi kahoge. Koi bhi ulti sidhi harquate nahi.Normal behaves karoge. Ok???
They agreed with him.
