CHAPTER 3
At The College:
Aisha, Shree and Chottu standing in the parking area, are having fun with eachother. Suddenly they saw riya coming towards them. The atmosphere around becomes noiseless, trio together became dumb for a moment.
Riya continued walking towards them, reaching there she gave them a big smile and asked " Kya hua guys tum logo khamosh kyu ho..koi bhoot dekh liya kya"
"H...haan" replied an offened shree. Hitting her elbow to shree's arm, aisha stopped him to say anything further.
"N..Nahi i..i mean ke" Stopping in mid, shree began to look at aisha and chottu who were glaring at him.
"kya hua guys..is everything ok?" asked riya in a bit worried voice."ya riya everything is fine..sab thik hai you don't worry " replied aisha."Han riya hum tumhara hi intezar kar rahe thy" said chottu.
"Toh..chalein?" Asked aisha."Yeah chalo" replied riya and smiled.
"Tum..chalo na..hum peechy peechy aatey hain" asked aisha."Ok" and she turned round, begun to walk straight.
"Idiot's..normally behave nahi kar sakte kya..dekha nahi kal ke bad she's trying her best to be normal again" taunghted aisha to shree."mm...mujhe kya pata tha. I thought kal ke bad woh upset hogi and ye soch ke mein bhi upset ho gya" replied shree.
"Uff..shree she's still upset but humein usey sad feel nahi hone dena remember that" said aisha."Haan shree...aisha ki baaton mein dum hai" agreed chottu.
Riya..who was quietly listening their convo felt sad but controlling her tears she turned back having a smiley face and asked "kya baatein ho rahi hain mere peechy humm??".
"Nothing special..hum to bas ye keh rahe thy ke aaj tum kitni khush ho na" replied shree. Hearing this sadness spreads around her smiley face.
"hastee raha karo riya tum sad bilkul bhi achi nahi lagti" said chottu. She hugged them, aisha smiled watching this and hugged them all. Suddenly her eyes landed on Sameer who was passing by there, busy on the phone.
"Sameer..yaha..matlab he's back" mumbled aisha which brings smile on her lips.
Later:
Sameer, walking in the corridore while Aisha, coming from his left side collide with each other..She was about to fall when he realize her and tries to catch her holding her from waist. Coming parallel to eachother both were so close to each other that the sound of their breathing was easily audible. Both had an eyelock.
Coming to his sense sameer releases aisha. "Tum..thik ho na" asked a red-faced sameer. Aisha looked up, " I mean..tumhein chot to nahi lagi?" asked sameer."No i'm fine" she replied.
"Kesa raha ap ka europe trip?" continued aisha. "Ya..it was nice..very nice, boht maza aaya" said sameer while smiling.
Aisha still stares at his eyes with a hope to be asked further about how she'd been in last two months.
While they were having convo btw them on the other hand ronnie and arjun were coming from the opposite side, and saw them. "Oye...sam aur aisha..saath saath. Chal thori masti karte hain" asked ronnie. "No..it's wrong ronit" arjun said.
"ab is mein kya galat hai bhai" ronit asked.
"mujhe nahi pata bas chalo yaha se" said arjun.
"Na..mein to nahi jane wala..i need some spice bro" replied ronnie.
Giving an excuse arjun said "Oh shit..mujhe ek project karna hai mein tumhe baad mein milta hoon"
Ronnie: project
Arjun: Haan project... boht zaroori hai.
After giving an excuse he tried to run when ronnie caught his lie and stopped him, calling his name.
"Jaha tak main janta hoon..project mein abhi boht time hai right?" ronnie asked.
This question left arjun speachless..
"Jhoot mat bola kar arjun..suit nahi karta tujhe" ronnie said.
Arjun turned round and said "kya yaar sahi se jhoot bhi nahi bolne dety".
ronnie: beta boht achy se janta hoon tujhe. Acha ab chal. (and he took him ahead forcibly).
"Hey guys..what's up" said ronnie. Aisha turned round to look at the voice she've heard a moment ago. Watching ronnie she gave angry expressions.
Ronnie: Oh hi aisha...tum bhi yahi ho , kesi ho..aur kesi hai wo tumhari dost riya..?
Aisha: Shut up ronnie. Naam bhi mat lena us ka apni gandi zubaan se. Agar tum yeh janne ki koshish kar rhe ho ke wo mar rahi hai ya zinda hai toh don't forget..She a courageous girl. Tumhare is ek dhoke se wo tut to gayi par bikhri nahi..woh gir kar haar manne walu mein se nahi balke woh..gir kar bhi uthne walu mein se hai. Aur woh uth chuki hai (ronnie rises his eyebrow) Yes Mr. ronit malhotra..she's back again to a normal life. Aur tum dekho ge..apne iradu ko nakaam hote hue.
"Main..." cutting ronnie in mid aisha continued, pointing her index finger towards him"I pity you Mr. malhotra tum jeet kar bhi haar gaye. aur aaj ke baad us ke aas paas bhatakne ki koshish bhi mat karna samjhe!" and she left ronnie standing still..arjun and sameer stays shocked.
************
Trio are sitting on couch holding their faces and moving their index fingers on face, busy in thinking an idea to make riya happy somehow, in shree's house." Shree..tujhe koi idea aaya kya" asked chottu. " Nahi re..aisha tumhein koi idea mila" asked shree. "Not yet!" replied aisha. "guys...kyu na hum us ko pani puri khilane le jeyein" asked shree. "totally waste idea shree riya hates it" replied aisha.
Suddenly an idea hit upon chottu's mind. " idea...aa gya idea" shouted chottu." kya jaldi bta" asked shree. "hum riya ko club le jate hain. thori masti bhi ho jaye gi aur is atmosphere se thori dair us ka mind bhi divert ho jaye ga". " Good idea chottu" said aisha. "Toh phir..." said shree and winked.
At The Club:
Arjun, sitting on the bar seat is watching others lost in their dreamlands. Sameer and ronnie who were at the dance floor came across the bar point and sits beside arjun.
"what happened dude why are you being so lazy. Hum yaha club mein enjoy karne aye hain aur tu hai ke pichle 1 ghante se mooh latka ke betha hua hai" said ronit. But he paid no attention to his words.
"Kya baat hai arjun tu thik to hai na" asked sameer.
"I'm fine guys..tum log jao enjoy karo mera mood nahi" replied arjun.
Unaware of their words that they were speaking, He was lost in another world..His eyes moves up and stop at a girl in red and black (High-Low) dress. He breathed slowly...his heartbeat became very low, He felt restless but when he closes his eyes, opens them again and found her missing..he then realizes his imagination.
"Kya hua bhai tu itna restless kyu ho raha hai" asked sameer.
Taking a deep breathe he said "Nothing i'm absolutely fine guys. lets have some drink?!".
"Sure" ronnie and sam replied together and sits on the chairs besides him.
"Bhai..fata fat teen peg bana de..wo bhi strong wale" said ronnie to the bartender and winked, "Sure sir" the bartender replied.
The imagination he had moments go..forced arjun to fix his eyes on the door in hope of watching her again..possibly in imagination.
While he has been resting his eyes on the door a girl in white fume appeared wearing black color strapless top with a grey wrapped tulip skirt. Her hair was long and pure black, in tight ringlets, clashing beatifully with her pale skin and brownish eyes. It gave her a rare, tropical look, despite the dusky colour of her skin. A black chocker over her neck plays it's part to make her look even graceful and adorable.
"Riya..."arjun whispers.
keeping his eyes down he said " No..it's just an imagination arjun so don't believe". He for the second time rises his eyes above and watched her entring inside. "Matlab..she's really here",saying this he stood up restlessly."Ab kya hua yaar" asked sameer.
"Agar riya ne humein yaha dekh liye toh pata nahi kya hoga"said arjun to himself. "I'm fine guys" he replied to sam and sat back." i hope ronit aur riya ka samna na ho aaj" he thought in his mind.
Riya along with choree and aisha sits on baroque disco sofa. Arjun was watching them from a distance. He gulped the drink in one go, he had in the glass.
"Girls..you wait here hum drinks laaty hain" said shree and went at the bar corner alog with chottu.
"4 glass whiskey please" said shree. Ronnie saw chottu, " Arry ch...chottu yaha..oye sam ye dekh bodybuilder bhi yaha hai" said ronnie. Everything was appearing blured to sam, "Haan yaar" opening his eyes widely and trying to see clearly he continued "Par mujhe to do do chottu dikh rahe hain aur saath mein us ka dost kya naam tha us ka..han shree wo bhi hai par wo bhi do do hain", "kya bat kar raha hai yaar suchi mein, lagta hai ye dono apne saath apne duplicates bhi le kar aaye hain" said ronnie and both laughed. "kahi chaaro hamara peecha to nahi kar rahe" said ronnie doubtfully.
Sameer: Ho sakta hai..ye hamara peecha hi kar rahe hoon bhoot ban kar(and began to laugh again, so does ronnie).
Arjun sitting besides them was paying no attention towards the conversation they were having.
Taking the glasses filled with alcohol choree turned round and winked together smilingly. Coming to riya and aisha they handed over the glass of wiskey to them.
A sip of Alcohol reminds her all the pain that she has passed through. "shree..fetch me some more It's working best to heal all the pain of mine" said riya.
Shree went and brought another shot. Although after having almost 5 shots riya was totally drunk .She desired more.
"Shree..aur lao" riya said while trio got shocked. "Lo..issey to chad gayi" said chottu."chottu ja tu le ke aa na please" requested riya.
Aisha: but riya...i think aaj ke liye kaafi hai itna."No...agar tum log nai jao ge to mein khud chali jaun gi OK?" She smiled, got up and walks straight.
"Guys..mujhe lagta hai tum logo ne ussey kuch zyada hi pila di hai look at her she can't even stand properly" said aisha.
"It's ok Aisha 5-6 shots se kya hota hai" replied shree."Kya hota hai..she has lost her sense. i think tumhe bhi pakka chad gayi hai shree" said aisha.
Drunken riya reached near the bar and fell upon Arjun who was already drunk. "ouch..kon hai yeh, hatto mere upar se you..hatto" said arjun furiously. "Oops i..am...sorry" said riya while laughing, sam and ronnie also began to laugh so does arjun.
"Arry riya..tum yahan kya kar rahi ho i mean tum to wo..bad babies ki tarha cry kar rahi thi na to achanak good babies ki tarha hasne kaise lagi" drunken ronnie asked while laughing.
Riya laughs and said "Ronnie...you bad boy mere rony ki waja bhi to tum hi thy na".Ronnie nodded and laughed saying" H..haan riya..i am a bad boy"."That's the only reason why i hate you so much" said riya."can i say something" interrupted arjun."Yes yes of course you can bro" replied ronnie.
Arjun: "Boht hua rona dhona" putting his arm on ronnie's shoulder he continued "chalo kuch karte hain..let's dance""Yayyy...toh intezar kis baat ka hai lets go.." replied riya in excitement.
coming on the dance floor they began to dance crazily, lost in their own dreamlands.
Holding riya's hand ronnie asked her to come with him, she denied but he took her to the back room.
"Ronit tum..tum mujhe yaha kyu laye ho" riya asked.
putting his index finger on his cheek he said "mein tumhe yaha kyu laya hoon..kyu laya hoon bhool gaya" and both laughed. "Yaad aya, yaad aya" shouted ronnie. "Kya kya yaad aya" asked riya. " ke mein tumhe yaha kyu laya hoon" he replied. "Kyuu" riya asked. "tum meri girlfriend ho na so i want to spend some time with you" said ronnie. drunked riya replied "Galat...bilkul galat". Ronnie looked at her confusingly " mein tumhari girlfriend nahi, Ex girlfriend hoon" she continued."koi baat nai aaj ke liye tum phir se meri GF ban jao" ronnie said. Riya nodded and said "Pakka?? sirf aaj ke liye". "Yes sirf aaj ke liye " he replied and both laughed.
shree looked at the bar corner in search of riya but couldn't fine her. "Guys..Ri kaha hai" he asked. "yahi kahi hogi shree tu tension mat le" replied a relaxed chottu.
"nai guys kafi time ho gaya hai ri ko gaye..mujhe aisa kyu lag raha hai ke woh kisi musibat mein hai" said aisha. chottu agreed with her. "let's find her" said shree and trio moved around separately in search of riya.
After searching about approx 20 mins they gathered at a place where drunked arjun and sameer were on the verge of sleep. Aisha grabs an eye on them.
Aisha: chottu..shree ye dekho
Shree: Ye dono yaha kya kar rhe hain
Aisha: Is ka matlab ronit bhi..
"inhe to main choru ga nahi" a furious chottu steps ahead.
"ruk chottu" said shree and went to bring some water. He Splashes some drops of water on them, they got up shockely. Holding their head they got up.
Watching aisha along with choree sameer asked them "Tum log yaha".
"ronit kaha hai" asked shree furiously.
"Kaha hai matlab, humein khud nahi pata" said arjun.
"ussey choru ye btao ke kaha hai hamari riya" asked shree.
"riya kahan hai..matlab" asked a confused sameer.
"dekho agar riya ko kuch bhi hua na tum hum tum teeno ko nahi chode ge" warned chottu.
Watching their increasing fight, "Quiet everyone. Yaha larai karne ki bajaye humein unhe dhoondna chahiye" suggested aisha.
"Kaha ja sakti hai riya..ronnie bhi missing hai..aur upar se dono ne sharab bhi pee rakhi hai, kahi ronnie us ke saath kuch galat na kar de" several thought he was having at that time, left him shocked, nervous and worried..
