Arjun's POV:
I was sitting in my chair closing my eyes and thinking about the clues we have got when I remembered about the envelope. I pulled it out from my pocket and opened it.
I frowned looking at what was written in it. It has just one line.
St. Xavier's College~ 20 minutes.
What the hell does that mean?? Whoever gave this wanted me at St. Xavier's College in next 20 minutes. Then I remember that this is the college where I met Roshni for the first time. This is our college. Why would anyone want to meet me there??
I tore up the note and threw it in the dustbin. I got up and went to conference room. I have to go.
Rathore: Rawte what's going on??
Rathore looked at me tensed.
Arjun: None of your business.
I told him and grabbed my service revolver and badge and was just moving out when Rathore stood before me.
Rathore: What does that even mean??
He glared at me and I rolled my eyes at him. As if his anger means anything to me. He stopped affecting me the day he accused me of killing Roshni. I know he was hurt but I was hurt too. If he lost his best friend then I lost my wife, my life that day.
Arjun: Means the envelope doesn't belongs to this case.
I told him shrugging. I pushed him back somewhat.
Rathore: RAWTE!!
He shouted and grabbed my hand. I glared at him. Why does he even care??
Arjun: Don't interfere in my personal matter Rathore.
I said to him in a warning tone.
Rathore: This envelope is personal??
He asked frowning at me and I nodded stiffly. Even I don't know what this envelope is about. But I have to find out.
Sakshi: Where are you going Sir??
I heard Sakshi saying from behind. What the hell is wrong with her. Why is she even here??
Rathore: Rawte??
Rathore again looked at me tensed.
Arjun: 1 hour!!
I told him and he nodded stiffly. Finally I reached St. Xavier's College after 15 minutes. I parked my SUV and went inside only to see a party is going on there.
Mam: ACP Arjun Rawte??
I heard the voice and looked back to see my teacher Mrs. D'Costa looking at me smiling.
Arjun: Mam!!
I touched her feet smiling.
Mam: Its good to see you here again.
She said looking at me with tears in her eyes.
Arjun: What's going on here??
I asked her looking at the decorations and the party.
Mam: You don't know??
She looked at me baffled. I shook my head in negative.
Mam: Shehzaad Sheikh is back in India and now he is here to settle down. And he has given this party for all of us.
She said smiling. Shehzaad Sheikh?? Oh yes. Roshni's best friend. I think he is back after 3 years. It was strange that he didn't come in Roshni's funeral.
Arjun: Oh. Ok.
I nodded at her confused. Who called me here?? And why?? And how would I know??
Mam: Come and meet him??
She looked at me enquiring and I shrugged.
Arjun: Sure!!
I nodded and went with her. She called Shehzaad and he turned but I didn't look at him. Cause with him there is a girl. A girl with the face which haunted me.
Arjun: What the!!
I looked at her in shock. How is it possible?? She died in front of my eyes. We burned her dead body. Then how??
Shehzaad: Hey Arjun!! How are you??
I looked at Shehzaad startled.
Arjun: I am fine!!
I said to him shaking his hands.
Shehzaad: I heard about your wife. I am so sorry Arjun.
He said looking down but before that I caught a smirk in his face. Something is wrong with him. He is smirking hearing about the death of his best friend?? And why is he referring to Roshni as my wife?? Why not by her name??
Arjun: Don't be!! The only person I wants to be sorry is Sikandar.
I said to him looking angrily and he stilled before smiling and anyone can see that this smile is fake. He is definitely hiding something, but who called me here??
Zoya: Sikandar??
I heard the girl say and I looked at her. She is frowning looking at Shehzaad. Now this is interesting.
Arjun: He killed my wife.
I told her trying to see if I can see any reaction in her, and she looked at me sadly.
Shehzaad: Oh!! By the way meet my fiancee Zoya.
Shehzaad said putting his hand on her waist.
Shehzaad: Baby this is my college friend Arjun.
He said smiling at her softly. Now I can clearly see that he loves her very much.
Zoya: Hii!!
She said waving her hand and I nodded at her.
Arjun: Hello and congrats!!
I smiled at her and she went stiff for a second and then relaxed. Now that's interesting.
Zoya: Thank you.
She said smiling. Now I have to find out who send that note to me. And I have just 30 minutes now.
Arjun: I have to leave now.
I told them and Shehzaad looked at me frowning.
Shehzaad: But so soon. I mean you are our guest.
He said looking at me frowning.
Arjun: Actually I am on a case. So...
I said to him smiling somewhat.
Shehzaad: Its OK we understand.
He said smiling and I started leaving from there.
Zoya: Come on Sikky let's dance.
Suddenly Zoya said and I looked at her startled. Sikky??
Shehzaad: Sure baby.
He winked at her and then they both went to the floor to dance.
She hugged him and turned his back towards me, then she looked at me smiling secretly. I looked at her struck. What the hell is going on??
Arjun: Riya!!
I murmured and she looked at me smiling. Then she signalled towards Shehzaad and murmured Sikandar.
I frowned looking at her. What the hell!! Why is she indicating towards Shehzaad saying Sikandar?? And who was the person who called me??
Arjun: Shehzaad?? Sikandar?? Shit!!
Suddenly I looked at her shocked. She is the one who called me here!! Is she really Zoya or just pretending?? Who is she?? And why is she helping me?? Can...Can she be Riya?? But she died then how??
But I am not going empty handed from here. Now I know the identity of Sikandar. I smirked looking at Zoya and left from there.
*************************************************************
Shehzaad's POV:
Right now I am very happy. With Zoya in my arms and the biggest enemy of my life believing me to be his friend. I know he didn't see me that day when I killed Roshni and I know he can't find me now.
Zoya: All of this is beautiful.
Zoya said looking at me smiling beautifully. Her dimpled smile is intoxicating. She is looking so happy that I want to keep looking at her for my whole life.
Shehzaad: No. You are beautiful.
I told her smirking and she blushed. She will kill me one day by just being beautiful.
Shehzaad: I love you Zoya.
I said to her softly kissing her forehead.
Zoya: Love you too.
She looked at me then hugged me tightly. I want to make her mine but I know her thinking is somewhat conservative. I know she wants to give herself only after marriage and it's getting too difficult to stay away from her.
Shehzaad: So?? When are we getting married?
I asked her smiling softly. I just hope this time she will tell me.
Zoya: After your biggest consignment.
She said winking. I looked at her baffled. She always brushes off whenever I talk about marriage and now she gave me the time. Suddenly I remembered what she said and groaned.
Shehzaad: God that's still one month away.
I said to her whining.
Zoya: Exactly.
She said winking.
Shehzaad: You're a tease.
I said to her in a teasing voice.
Zoya: And you love it.
She said grinning. Hah!! That's absolutely right.
Shehzaad: Of course baby.
I said to her and we both laughed looking at each other. She is the light of my life. I never thought that I could love this much after Roshni. But now Zoya is my life. But I have to tell her the truth about Arjun otherwise she will think that he is genuinely my friend.
***********************************************************
Sakshi's POV :
Its already two days since we are working on Mr. Saxena's case and every time we came at a dead end. And Arjun Sir is not even paying much attention to this case and to say Rathore sir is furious would not be an understatement.
Right now we are at a mall to find out about our suspect. Arjun Sir and Ayesha went inside and I was parking the SUV. I came out from the SUV and saw a young couple in front of me. Wow!! They are looking beautiful.
Shehzaad: Zoya?? Are you sure you can handle that alone??.
The man asked the girl. Hmm. Looks like she is his girlfriend. She nodded and kissed his cheeks then went inside the mall. I looked at the man and he is looking at her till she went inside. Then he sat in the car and went away grinning. I sighed smiling. Then I remembered what I am here for and ran inside the mall. I saw Arjun Sir and Ayesha on the ground floor and went towards them.
Arjun Sir was ahead of us and we both are walking behind the sir when suddenly a girl collide with Arjun Sir. Freak!! Now she is done. He will kill her.
Zoya: Sorry!!
The girl said looking at Arjun Sir. She is the same girl I saw with that man outside the mall. Suddenly she grinned looking at Arjun Sir and I looked at Ayesha. She is looking at the girl and Arjun Sir in shock. Even I am shocked looking at Arjun. He didn't shout on her . In fact he smiled.
Arjun: Zoya??
He said smiling and somewhat surprised.
Zoya: Arjun. Hii!!
She said grinning at him and waving.
Arjun: Hi. Where is Shehzaad??
He asked frowning and looked everywhere. Looks like he knows them. But he is smiling?? I gritted my teeth. She already has a boyfriend. Then why is she behind my Arjun.
Zoya: He is busy in some work. What are you doing here??
She asked looking at Arjun Sir smiling.
Arjun: Work. And you??
Arjun Sir shrugged nonchalantly and then looked at the girl enquiring.
Zoya: Just shopping.
She said indicating towards all the shops.
Arjun: Hmm, looks like he is spending on you too much.
Arjun said to Zoya in a teasing tone and we both looked at him shocked. Arjun?? And teasing someone?? Am I dreaming??
Zoya: Of course after all I am the love of his life. And no one can separate me from him.
She said looking at Arjun smirking. Now what the hell is this?? She is looking as if she is challenging Arjun Sir to do just that.
Arjun: Really?? He thinks that??
Arjun Sir said smirking as if he understood and accepted the challenge. What the hell is going on?? Why are they both behaving like this??
Zoya: He says that.
She said looking at Arjun Sir grinning.
Arjun: Interesting.
Arjun Sir said smiling lopsidedly. He is definitely planning something.
Sakshi: Who's she??
I looked at Ayesha confused.
Ayesha: I don't know.
She said looking at both of them confused. Oh yes!! Rathore sir will know who is she. I took out my phone and snapped her pic.
Ayesha: What are you doing??
Ayesha asked looking at me confused.
Sakshi: Rathore sir knows arjun sir from quite some time.
I told her smirking. And she looked at me as if I have gone mad.
Ayesha: So??
She asked looking at me bored.
Sakshi: I will ask from him!!
I winked at her and she smiled nodding at me.
Ayesha: Good idea!!
She said and we both smiled at each other. I looked at Arjun Sir and Zoya to see both of them greeting each other.
Zoya: Anyways meet you later. Bye!!
She said waving at him and he nodded at her.
Arjun: Bye!!
He waved at her and she left from there. He looked at Zoya till she left from our eyesight, then he smiled secretly. Then he looked at us and made a face and left from there. I looked at Ayesha tensed and we both ran behind him.
Something is definitely wrong with him.
