Ariya Love? - Page 18

ETF and ATS both arrive at the scene pointing their guns...

Riya struggles and tries to loosen the hold on her neck: Arjun!

Arjun's anger knew no bounds when he saw the blade to her neck: ALTAF USE CHOD DO!!!

Riya(distressed): Arjun Help!!! Ye Suicide Bomber Hai!!!

Worry flickers in his eyes but not longer than a moment, he had to focus: tum dono ki bhalayi isi mein hai ki tum use jaane do aur apne aap ko humare hawale karo!

Altaf (pressing the knife) : aur tum logon ki bhalayi isi mein hai ki hume yaha se jaane do

A thin stream of crimson liquid flowed from her neck: OUCH! Arjun!!!

Arjun was screaming internally. His mind started to find potential solutions out of the crisis...when suddenly an idea struck him.

Altaf: CHUP! Kabse Chilla Rahi Hai, MUH BAND RAKH APNA!!!

Arjun: Riya! Riya relax! Main...main hun na, daro mat! Trust me!

Raka taunts them: ha bhai ha! Sun le apne premi ki baat kya pata firse sunne ko mile ya nahi?

Arjun ignores him and focuses on Riya who was getting increasingly afraid by the minute: Riya! tum mujh par dhyaan do, kuch nahi hoga..

Altaf: ARE BAND KARO APNI BAKWAS! Aur Hume Yaha Se Jaane Do (cautiously taking a few steps further as the officers step away) PEECHE HATO!!!

Arjun: Riya! maine tumse kitni baar kaha hai ki aisa mat karo...par aaj main keh raha hun, ki pura zor lagakar karo!

A wave of confusion flows into everyone's heads. They had no idea what he was talking about. Riya was still looking unsure and afraid.

Arjun: tum mujh par bharosa karti hona? Jaisa main kehta hun waisa karo...baakhi sab main sambhal lunga!! Riya just trust me! Main tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga!!!

Raka (irriated): KYA BAK-BAK KAR RAHE HO TUM?!?! Altaf Gala Kaat ...

Before he could complete Riya scratches Altaf sharply!! Digging her nails in his skin...

Altaf(loosening his grip): aaahhh!!!

and releasing herself from his hold! Arjun pulls her to safety and shoots Altaf in the head, his body caught reflexively by the officers so as to prevent the bomb from exploding due to friction, then pointing his gun at Raka before anybody could understand what was going on. Adira sides upto Riya before exchanging an assuring look.

Arjun(vengeful): Tumhara Khel...Khatam!!

He is about to shoot him as well when Sameer pushes his hand to the ceiling, his shot badly misfiring. At the same moment Chotu and an ATS officer catch hold of Raka.

Sameer: Arjun nahi! Ruko!

Arjun(angrily): kyun roka tumne mujhe?

Raka: Chodo mujhe!!! Tum log jaante nahi ho ki main kya kar sakta hun!!!(struggling) Maine kaha chodo!

Sandeep: take him away!

The officers obey and do as they are told

Arjun's rage is still at peak: MAINE TUMSE KUCH PUCHA RATHORE!!!

Sameer: Arjun shaant ho jao! Use saza bhugatne do! Itni aasan maut ka haqdaar nahi hai woh!

Riya uske paas aati hai: ha Arjun woh sahi keh raha hai...use toh faasi hi honi chahiye, gale par rasi bandhkar jab uski aankh baahar niklegi aur muh se khoon bahega na tab jaakar uske paap thode kam honge

Sab uske answer se thoda weird feel karte hai par Arjun kaafi had tak shaant ho jaata hai. Woh silently nod karta hai.

Roshni: uh..waise ek baat samaj mein nahi aayi, Riya tumne kya kiya ki woh Altaf aise cheekha

Riya(sheepishly): woh maine use...(woh apna haath upar karke use dikhati hai)

Roshni uske nails dekhkar samaj jaati hai: oh...smart!

But the boys are still confused

ATS Chief: what?

Ayesha groans (muttering): men! (aloud): uske nails ki size dekho!

Sameer: lekin...use...

Shree: itni chot lagti hai?

Arjun: Riya! demo dikhao na dono ko

The two boys jump at the idea of being in Altaf's state: nahi!!! Chalega

Arjun shakes his head in disbelief as Riya giggles.

ATS Chief turns to Sameer: thank you ACP Rathore, aapki team ne bahot madad ki hai humari

Sameer: kaisi baatein kar rahe hai aap? Ye humara bhi toh farz hai...these bas***ds belong behind bars

Chief(shaking hands): so they do!

He and his men leave the spot to transport Raka where he belonged...in jail!

Liza sighs: ant bhala toh sab bhala!

Sameer: really! Chalo...aur bhi kaam hai humare paas.

Arjun glances at Riya and gives her his handkerchief for the wound

Riya smiles: tum chalo main papers lekar aati hun.

He nods and leaves with the ETF team. Riya applies pressure on her injury which was thankfully not much, only a small stain of red showed on the white cloth and Adira collects their documents and papers. The crowd from the room is being dispersed by the offices.

Adira: ma'am aapko zyaada chot toh nahi lagi na

Riya: nahi Adira, I'm fine

Manohar: Congratulations Miss Mukherjee

Riya: thank you!

Manohar: ye case ke liye nahi hai, aapki maut ke saath jeet ke liye hai

Riya: either way, I won. And winks!

Manohar laughs: yes, for sure

They walk outside talking randomly on the case.

Outside-

Manohar walks away after Riya and Adira reach the ETF team who were waiting for her at the request of Arjun and Sameer's clear intention to tease and Harass Arjun. Riya comes and straight away tries to hug him but...

Arjun stops her: nahi! Ruko!

Riya(disappointed): kyun?

Arjun: take my hand

Riya: why?

Arjun: I'm asking you to marry me, take my damn hand!!!

This was enough to send everyone into a state of shock.

Riya(perplexed gives her hand): okay!

Arjun goes down on one knee sweeping the floor from beneath the team's feet !! On the other hand Arjun does not have a bloody idea on what to say

Arjun(muttering): oh god...kaise bolu? Kya bolu?(making up his mind) shaadi karlo mujhse please

Riya: lekin...lekin tum sure nahi the na? aur...aur main bhi sure nahi hu

Arjun: ha lekin do dino mein do baar tujhe khote-khote bacha hun, sochta hun toh kitna dar lagta hai pata hai? Tere bina zindgi imagine bhi nahi kar paata, isliye socha ki itne saal jab ek dusre ko jhel hi liya toh kuch saal aur jhel hi lenge

Riya(considering): acha...ok...(fir achanak) lekin ek minute! mujhe abhi shaadi nahi karni

Arjun: mujhe bhi nahi karni...do saal baad karenge, ok?

Riya(khush): ha!

Arjun : ha toh ab...

Riya(horrified): ruk! Ruk! Ruk!

Arjun: ab kya hua?

Riya: khaali haath propose karoge?

Arjun: are ha...shit! (apni pockets check karte hue) na rose hai, na ring! (uska haath mein kuch aata hai) gaadi ki chaabi hai...

Sameer snatches it out of his hand annoying him to a new level.

Arjun: KYA HAI???

Sameer: Gaadi teri nahi Sarkar ki hai...government property!!! Teri property se propose kar!

Arjun: are yaar mere paas aur kuch (apni shirt pockets check karte hue) clairs!...chalegi?

Riya: ha

Arjun: kya ha...haath toh de

Riya(confused): tere paas hi toh hai

Arjun(realising): are ha...toh...shaadi karo na mujhse?

Riya: ok!

Arjun: done?

Riya: done!

Arjun gets up on his feet and hugs her. She smiles but...

Adira whispers: please tell me main sapna dekh rahi hun

Liza: bahot hi bura sapna

Sameer: aise kaun propose karta hai?

Roshni: aisa kaunsa jawab hota hai?

Ayesha: ye dono shaadi kar rahe hai ya fir koi deal?

Shree: lagti toh deal hi hai

They exchange weird glances among them. Arjun's voice brings them to the present.

Arjun(happily): Sam!

Sameer: huh? Ha

Arjun(innocently): main aaj chutti lu?

Sameer however is still in shock: okay

Arjun turns to Riya: chal ghar jaate hai!

Riya(cheerfully): ha...(facing Adira) Adira, main tumhe kal phone karti hun, fir next case ko sort out karte hai

Adira(mechanically): sure ma'am, Congratulations and bye!

Riya: thank you! See you tomorrow!

Arjun aur Riya walk away from them as the team still stand bewildered in their places rooted to the spot. They could only stare at the lovebirds as they walked to the car talking and laughing oblivious to the world around them...

Roshni: dono saath mein kitne ache lagte haina?

Sameer(surprised): did you hurt your head?

Roshni places her elbow on his shoulder: nahi yaar, main 4 saal se uske peeche hun aur woh dono bachpan se ek saath hai, toh soch! Jab un dono ka set hote-hote itna time laga..toh humari baari aate-aate toh hum dono budhe ho jaayenge

Ayesha: one down! One to go!

Shree: chinta mat kar! Arjun sir ka nishaana ekdum solid hai! Office waali bhi down ho jaayegi
