Ariya Love? - Page 6

Arjun ke pairon tale jaise zameen khisak jaati hai: YE TOH RIYA KI BUILDING HAI...USKA OFFICE BHI 15^TH FLOOR PAR HAI...

Arjun ki nazar bas screen par tiki hai, woh koi aur reaction de hi nahi paata. Sameer uski haalat samajkar uske kandhe par haath rakhta hai.

Sameer: Arjun...call her

Arjun presence mein aata hai: huh? Haa...main...(woh jhat se apna phone nikaalta hai, lekin...) Woh Phone Kyun Nahi Utha Rahi?!?!?! (woh Adira ka phone try karta hai) Adira ka bhi unreachable hai! ... Sam (hyper)...main...mujhe jaana hai...

Sameer: tum fikar mat karo...hum bhi aate hai

Arjun(worried): tu drive karna...please...jaldi pahunchenge

Sameer(comfortingly): ha karta hun.

Sab immediately nikalte hai. Sameer apni driving ki full skills use karta hai. Arjun continuously Riya ka phone try karta rehta hai lekin woh nahi utathi. Uska tension har pal aur badhta jaa raha hai.

Arjun mv "Riyu please phone uthao yaar! Kaha ho tum? Please be safe!...(praying) bhagwaan please use sahi salamat rakhna...please!

Sameer use side se dekhta hai. Woh almost rone jaise ho gaya hai.

Sameer: Arjun, She'll be fine!

Arjun use dekhta hai, kisi tarah apne aapko control karta hai. Aur light nod deta hai...Sameer tezi se gaadi chala kar waha pahunchte hai. Unki ID dekhkar unhe vicinity mein entry milti hai. Fire-fighters ke line ke peeche bheed jama hai. Arjun bheed mein Riya ko identify karne ki koshish karta hai but to no avail.

Sameer enquires: kya sab log safe hai?

Fire-fighter: pata nahi sir! (pointing in a direction) aag bahot zyaada hai, abhi thodi kam hui hai, humare log andar check karne hi jaa rahe hai.

Arjun: lekin Riya baahar nahi hai iska matlab. He glances at the building

Sameer could immediately identify his friend's train of thought: ARJUN NO!...

But the next second Arjun runs inside disregarding the team's and emergency services warnings and protests.

Roshni: Arjun paagal ho gaya hai? Aise andar jaana khatre se khaali nahi hai.

Sameer could barely figure out what to do and doesn't respond while everybody tensely look at each other...

Arjun on the other hand dashes to the stairs and starts climbing as fast as he could. He ran like he had never before. The 12^th floor was introduced by smoke which thickened as he climbed ahead. Coughing he covered his nose with a hand kerchief.

The service men were searching on the 14^th floor but Arjun went straight to the 15^th. The fire had not died down. Only the rooms with broken windows of the glass building had been doused by the service men. Cautiously making his way forward through the burning wooden interiors, he walked briskly to Riya's office.

Arjun: RIYAAA!!!!! Riya!!!!! Tum Sun Rahi Ho??? RIYA!!!!!

No response came from within. Tensed, he took a step back and kicked the door open with force. The flaming door fell inside giving way to him.

Arjun again called out: Riya!!! (looking here and there he found her unconscious near her table) RIYAAA!?!?!?!?

He rushed to her and tried to wake her up: RIYAAA!! (patting her face) Riya aankhein kholo!! (tearfully) Riyu please yaar! Aankhein khol na!!

A sudden sound distracted him. He looked up towards the source of the sound. To his horror, the wooden beam was ready to collapse on them. His eyes widened in shock.

Arjun(desperately trying to wake her up): Ri!! Riya!!!

The beam lowered further. Arjun panicked. Picking up Riya in his arms he quickly got up and shifted to the side keeping his back to the accident, protecting her just as the beam fell behind him with a crash!!! He had hugged her tight in order to keep her safe and take any injury if at all on himself.

A few seconds later, he gathered his courage and turned his head. Unfortunately that's when he realized he had moved inside instead of outside and now the beam was blocking his way. He couldn't jump with Riya in his arms. Cursing his fate, he started to think of an escape route.

An idea struck him when he saw the glass wall of the building. Carefully keeping himself and Riya away from the fire he walked to the edge. The view was breath taking he knew, as he had seen it many times but right now? It was his only way of escape! Supporting Riya with one hand against his body he used the other to break open the window!

Compound -

It was Shree who caught everyone's attention: Rathore Sir!!!!!! (pointing towards the window which had just broken) woh dekhiye

everybody looked up to see Arjun standing there with a figure held by him. Sameer springs into action and catches hold of the fire-man in charge.

Sameer: aapke paas woh safety balloon toh hoga na?

In-charge: ji sir! Main inflate karwaata hun

Within minutes a huge balloon was inflated and spread on the ground for Arjun to jump. Sameer signals him from below. Arjun reverts. His gaze falls on Riya who was still unconscious. Cradling her in his arms, he tightened his hold on her. He turned his back outside.

Sakshi: ye kya kar raha hai?

Nobody had the answer to her question...Taking a deep breath Arjun closed his eyes and stepped behind free-falling on the balloon with Riya on him...his hold only tightened on her lying on him...his back collided with the plastic. The landing was soft but the fall still gave a blow to his back due to the height which is why he had positioned Riya on top of him.

The team rushed to him. Ayesha and Shree quickly helped Arjun by supporting Riya and getting her on the stretcher as Sameer helps Arjun to get up. Arjun hurriedly gets up.

Arjun: doctor!

Sameer: ha ready hi hai, tum theek hona

But he doesn't pay attention and rushes to the mobile dispensary to Riya and takes her hand in his...The Doctor fits an oxygen mask on her face.

Arjun: Doctor! Ri theek toh haina?

Doctor: ghabrane waali koi baat nahi hai, smoke ki wajah se behosh ho gayi hai...she'll be fine. And gets up to leave

Arjun(hyper): aap kaha jaa rahe?

Doctor(taken aback): kuch aur patients hai...

Arjun: are lekin Ri...

Sameer use shaant karta hai: Arjun, it's ok! (doctor se) agar kuch hua toh hum aapko bulayenge

Doctor: sure!

Doctor chala jaata hai. Arjun bas Riya ko dekh raha hai. Sameer silently comforts him. 10 minutes later Riya slowly regains her consciousness. Her hand stirred. Arjun senses immediately started working again.

Arjun: Riya?

Riya dheerese apni aankhein kholti hai aur apne surrounding ko dekhti hai. Arjun ko dekhkar woh confuse hoti hai.

Riya: tum...yaha?. Uske gale mein kharaash hoti hai

Arjun use uthne mein madad karta hai: tu theek haina?

Riya lightly cough karti hai: ha...main...

Arjun use tightly hug karta hai: thank god! Main toh dar hi gaya tha

Riya light smile deti hai, fir: Arjun...sun...(alag hokar) mere office mein kuch zaroori documents hai...(Arjun use glare karne lagta hai) please un fire-fighters ko bol ki...

Arjun: Tera Dimag Kharaab Hai? Tu Waha Behosh Padi Thi, MAIN NAHI AATA TOH JAL KAR MAR GAYI HOTI YOU FOOL! Aur Tumhe Documents Ki Padi Hai JO ABHI TAK RAAKH HO GAYE HONGE!!!!

Riya: Arjun kuch raakh nahi hua woh saare mere fire-proof safe mein hai, in fact jab aag lagi toh maine saare documents, mera laptop aur phone teeno safe mein rakh diye. Isliye main waha se nikal nahi paayi.

Arjun use aisa dekh raha hai jaise woh khud koyi criminal ho. Uske dimag mein sirf ek hi khayal hai ki Riya itni irresponsible kyun hai?

Riya samaj jati hai: Arjun please...it's really important...

Arjun: WHAT WORTH IS IT IF YOU WERE DEAD DAMMIT!!!!

Riya: agar main nahi toh koi aur Arjun...tumhe Raka ke baare mein toh pata haina?

Shree(inquisitively): woh terrorist? Jise pichle mahine ATS ne arrest kiya tha?

Riya: ha... Uske khilaaf saare proofs usi safe mein hai, unhi documents ke beech...Arjun please unhe woh safe recover karne ke liye bolo...he doesn't deserve to be free...(Arjun just glares at her) I ALMOST DIED FOR THAT!! DO ME FAVOR AND SAVE WHAT I WANTED TO AND STOP ACTING LIKE AN INSENSITIVE JERK!!!

Arjun bas use ghur ke chale jaata hai. Riya coughs due to the strain. Sameer hands her a bottle of water.

Riya: thanks...(peene ke baad) kya main tumhara phone use kar sakti hun?

Sameer: ya sure

Riya usse Adira ko call karti hai: hello?

Adira: Riya ma'am?!?! Thank goodness! Main kabse aapka phone try kar rahi hun...aap safe toh haina?

Riya: ha Adira main theek hun, tum chinta mat karo, office is destroyed... I'll call you later, ghar par hi rehna

Adira: ji ma'am, take care

Riya: bye!

Call disconnect

Riya Sameer ko uska phone waapis karti hai: thank you Sameer!

Sameer: anytime! Do you need anything? Doctor ko bulau?

Riya: nahi...koi faayda nahi (Sameer ki nazar peeche padti hai) Arjun aakar firse repeat karega (Sameer ko dekhkar, sigh karti hai) woh mere peeche hai, haina?...
