PART 20:

Ar: I'm sorry ridz….

Ri: kis baat ke liye?

Ar: woh….actually main tumhe sabke saamne propose karna chahta tha…main humaari 10^th anniversary sabke saath manaana chahta tha….main jaanta hu tum chahti thi ki main tumhe sabke saamne propose karu par jo muskaan ke saath hua uske baad humaari anniversary manaane ko dil nahi karta….kitna galat lagega agar hum aaj ke din ka jashna manaaye aur wahaan humaare dost udaas aur tension main hai….unhe kitna bura lagega…

Someone opened the door saying "bilkul theek kahaa tumne…."

Armaan-ridz turned around to see.They were surprised it was rahul followed by the entire gang.

Ar: tum log yahaa?

Ra: bilkul theek kaha tumne….humme bahut bura lagaa…..par jaante ho bura kis baat ka lagaa??ki tum humme apna dost sirf ghum baatne ke liye maante ho…humse khushi share nahi kar sakte….

Ar: aisi baat nahi hai rahul…woh….jo kuch bhi hua uske baad khushi manaane ka mann nahi karta…

Ra: tum jaante ho muskaan ko iss baat ka kitna bura lag raha hoga???woh humme kahin se dekh rahi hogi….usse lag raha hoga uski wajah se uske dost apni khushi bhi khulkar nahi manaa sakte…

An: humme lagaa hum khushi aur ghum dono baat-te hai….par tum toh kuch aur hi karte ho….jab mann kiya khushi baat li aur jab mann kiya ghum baat liya….

At: tumne humme iss khushi mein shaamil na karke humme bahut dukhi kiya hai….

Sonia: tumne hi toh kahaan tha hum sab ko aage badhna hai…aur aaj jab ek mauka milla apne ghum bhulkar kuch pal ke liye khushi manaane ka toh tum woh bhi apne doston se cheen-na chahte ho?

Ar: I'm sorry guys…main tumhe hurt nahi karna chahta tha…mujhe bas lagaa muskaan ke jaane ke baad iss tarah khushiyan manaana theek nahi hoga…I'm sorry….

Ra: muskaan ke jaane ka dukh hum sab ko hai aur sabse zyaada mujhko….par main jaanta hu muskaan kabhi nahi chahegi ki uske dost uski wajah se dukhi ho…

Ar: sorry yaar…ab toh main kaan pakad ta hu….

An: its ok by the way happy anniversary….

Ar: thanksss….

The entire gang wished them.They had a small party.Rahul went to his room & stood in balcony looking at the stars.He had tears in his eyes.He removed muskaan's photo & looked at it.

Ra(to muskaan's photo): main jaanta hu muski tum mujhe dekh rahi ho….aur aaj maine jo kiya usse tumhe apne rahul par garv hoga…I hope armaan-riddhima humaari tarah alag na ho…I miss you…I love you….(saying this he started crying more).

LAST DAY:

MORNING TIME:

Ridz was late today.Actually she hadn't slept properly last night.After the small party was over all the thoughts came back to her.She tried to get some proper sleep but couldn't.She was wondering what the next day had in store for her.And today since she got up in the morning & looked at the calendar wondering if it would be last day of her life or will she survive unlike other girls.She had confidence in her friends & knew they wouldn't let anything happen with her but she didn't trust her luck.'Luck' yes her lucky charm armaan was with her & till her lucky charm is there nothing can go wrong with her.Just then someone started knocking the door impatiently.Wondering who wanted to talk to her so impatiently she opened the door.Anjie was standing there totally out of breath as if she had run miles.She looked fully tensed.

Ri: anjali kya hua??sabkuch theek toh hai????

An: ridz woh…woh armaan….

Ri: kya hua armaan ko?

An: woh….police armaan ko le jaane aayi hai….unka kehna hai ki armaan hi serial killer hai….

Ri(shocked): KYA??

Without listening to any other word ridz started running down.She broke a flower vase on floor.Her dupatta got stuck near the stairs but she didn't wait to take it.She ran & ran.She was nearly approaching armaan.She saw police had made armaan sit in the jeep.She screamed armaan's name.Armaan looked at her.He had tears in his eyes.Ridz missed few steps & fell down on the floor.Her head began bleeding.Her foot hurt badly.She wanted to get up & run towards armaan but she couldn't.Armaan tried coming out of jeep to look at ridz but the police force didn't allow him.Their eyes met for few seconds.Ridz's eyes told him'I trust you completely' while armaan's eyes told her 'I'm not the killer….everything will be fine'.Ridz became unconscious taking armaan's name while armaan's jeep was out of view.

IN THE HOSPITAL:

Ri(was blabbering in sleep): armaan…armaan….

She opened her eyes slowly to find At,An & sonia around her.

Ri: armaan….armaan kahaa hai???

An: Ridz tumhe aaraam karne ki zaroorat hai….

Ri: armaan ne kuch nahi kiya…mujhe usse bachaana hoga….

At: ridz shaant ho jao…doctor ne kahaa hai tumhe aaraam ki zaroorat hai….

Ri: par mujhe armaan ke paas jaana hai…tum log toh jaante ho armaan ne kuch nahi kiya…armaan kabhi aisa kuch kar nahi sakta….tum logon ne armaan ko jaane kyu diya?

An: humaare haath mein kuch nahi hai….police ke paas proofs hai….unke paas court ke orders hai…hum kuch nahi kar sakte…

Ri: kaise proofs?

At: ek toh inspector ka kehna hai ki armaan har baar uss jagah par paaya gaya hai jahaan murder hua hai….

Ri: jaanti hu uski yeh theory….par uske kehne se armaan killer nahi ban jaanta…

Inspector enters.

In: riddhima iss theory ko saabit karne ke liye mere paas bahut saare proof's hai…ek toh armaan ke shoes ka number uss killer ke saath match hota hai….tumne killer ka jo description diya woh armaan se match hota hai….iske alaawa kuch aur saboot humaare haath lage hai….(removing a bracelet) iss bracelet ko toh aap pehchaanti ho????

Ridz looked at the bracelet.It was the one armaan had gifted her & bought for him as well.It had 'R' written over it.

Ri: yeh toh armaan ka hai…

In: exactly….yeh bracelet humme muskaan ke baal mein phasaa hua milla tha…aur kal raat humne chupke se Mr.Armaan ke kamre ki talaashi li aur jaanti ho humme kya milla?

Ri: kya?

In(removing something from his wallet): yeh sim card….yeh kissi Private Number ka sim card hai…

Ri: toh kya hua?ho sakta hai armaan ko fasaane ke liye kissi ne uske kamre mein rakha ho…

In: aur bracelet?

Ri: aise bracelet koi bhi khareed sakta hai….

In: aap abhi tak nahi maanti ki armaan hi killer hai…humaare paas ek aur proof hai….jo handwriting humne testing ke liye bheje the unke reports aa gaye hai…..uss killer ke handwriting armaan se match karte hai…ab iss baat ko aap kaise jhoothla sakti hai?

Ri: aap chahe jitney saboot de par armaan par se mera vishwaas kabhi kum nahi hoga….mujhe abhi bhiarmaan par poora bharosa hai….armaan ko jail mein daal kar aapko lagta hai sab theek ho gaya hai par aap galat hai….aapne mere liye musibat aur badhaa di hai….aaj woh killer mujhpar hamla karega aur iss baar koi police nahi hai usse rokne ke liye…shayad mere marne ke baad aapko yakeen ho jaayega armaan killer nahi hai…

In: aapko humaara shukriya karna chahiye ki humne aapki jaan bachaa li….humne saabit kar diya humaari police kaafi efficient hai…

Ri(sarcastically): woh toh aapko aaj raat hi pata chalega….aap wahaan armaan ko killer maanlo aur yahaan aaj raat killer mujhe maar dega….agar aaj mujhe kuch hua toh yeh sirf aapki galati hogi….

Inspector went away in frustration.

Ri(getting up): mujhe armaan ke paas jaana hai…usse milna hai…

An: nahi ridz tumhaari haalat theek nahi hai….tumhe aaraam ki zaroorat hai….

Ri: par iss waqt armaan ko meri zaroorat hai….

At: tum armaan se nahi mil sakti….usse milna kissi ko allowed nahi….

Ri: tum log toh jaante ho na armaan nirdosh hai????

At: haan ridz humme poora bharosa hai…armaan aisa kuch nahi kar sakta…..

An: aur muskaan ke saath toh woh aisa kuch karne ki soch bhi nahi sakta….

Ri: muskaan….rahul kahaa hai??woh yahaan kyu nahi aaya??

The 3 of them exchanged tensed looks.

Ri: kya rahul ko lagta hai armaan ne muskaan ko maara?

So: aisi baat nahi hai ridz…..actually rahul bahut confused hai….

Ri: confused???Confusion kiss baat ki????rahul aisa soch bhi kaise sakta hai ki armaan kissi ko maar sakta??

An: rahul aaj raat ki flight se India jaa raha hai….armaan ke khilaaf jo proofs mille usse dekhne ke baad rahul ko kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai…woh nahi jaanta kya sahi hai aur kya galat….woh decide nahi kar paa raha ki armaan killer ho sakta hai ya nahi….isiliye usne decide kiya woh yeh sab chod ke aaj raat ko hamesha ke liye hum sab se dur chalaa jaayega….

Ri: woh aisa kaise soch sakta hai???humme usse rokna hoga….usse samjhaana hoga….

At: koi faayda nahi…maine bahut koshish kii….woh kissi se koi baat nahi karna chahta…..ek taraf usse lagta hai armaan kabhi aisa kuch nahi kar sakta toh dusri taraf usse muskaan ka khyaal aata hai aur police ke diye hue proofs yaad aate hai…..woh apne dimaag aur dil ke beech itna confused hai ki usne decide kiya woh yeh sab sochna chod kar aaj raat hi India jaa raha hai….

Ri: job hi ho….usse jo samajhna ho samjhe….main armaan ko zaroor bachaogi….main usse milne zaroor jaogi…..

An: par tum wahaa nahi jaa sakti…kissi ko bhi armaan se milna allowed nahi hai…aur iss waqt tumhe bachaane ki zyaada zaroorat hai….ab sirf hum teen hai tumhe bachaane ke liye….raat tak hum mein se koi na koi tumhaare saath rahega….hum koi risk nahi le sakte….raat ko show mein hum sab saath rahege aur show khatam hote hi hum armaan ko bachaane ka koi tareeka dhoondhe ge…..

Ri: main iss show mein participate nahi karoogi…

At: tum pagal ho gayi ho kya?tum jaanti ho tum kya keh rahi ho????akele rehna matlab maut ko daawat dene ke baraabar hai…

Ri: iss fashion show ne mere armaan ko itni musibat mein daala hai….main yeh show nahi karoogi…aur armaan ke bina toh hargeez nahi karoogi…uss manager ko jo karna hai woh kare…

So: par ridz tum jaanti ho hum teeno show mein hoge…tumhaare saath raat ko koi nahi hoga….woh killer tum par zaroor attack karega….

Ri: I don't care….usse jo karna tha usne kar diya….jab tak woh mujhpar attack nahi karega armaan begunaah saabit nahi hoga….mujhe armaan ke liye itna toh karna hi padhega….aur please mujhe force mat karo…main decision le chuki hu….please mujhe thodi der ke liya akela chod do…

3 of them left her alone.As soon as they went ridz started crying.She kissed her bracelet.

Ri(crying): armaan tum fikar mat karo….agar mere marne se tum innocent prove hote ho toh main haste-haste mar jaogi….aur mujhe humaare pyaar par pura vishwaas hai….agar humaara pyaar sachaa hai toh mujhe kuch nahi hoga….

OUTSIDE THE ROOM:

An: ab kya kare??ridz kuch samajhne ko tayyaar hi nahi hai…

So: agar kissi tarah armaan yahaan aa jaaye usse bachaane?

At: par yeh kaise hoga?armaan se milna bhi allowed nahi hai…toh hum usse baahar kaise laayenge?

So: main armaan se mil sakti hu….

An: tum?

So: haan actually mere dad ke bahut contacts hai…..woh commissioner ko bhi jaante hai….mujhe armaan se ek baar milne ki permission toh aasaani se dilla sakte hai….

At: great toh tum jaakar armaan ko saari situation samjhao….ab woh hi kuch kar sakta hai…

IN THE PRISON:

Sonia easily got the permission to meet armaan.Armaan was expecting ridz but was slightly depressed on seeing sonia.

Ar: ridz kaisi hai???kya usse mujhpar bharosa hai???maine kuch nahi kiya…..woh mujhse milne kyu nahi aa rahi?

So: don't worry ridz ek dum theek hai….woh actually yahaan aane ki permission kissi ko nahi hai….main yahaan apne dad ke wajah se aa paayi ho….armaan mujhe tumse bahut zaroori baat karni hai….

Ar: kya?

So: hum jaante hai tum killer nahi ho…par tumhe nirdosh saabit karne ke liye ridz ek paagalpan kar rahi hai….woh apni jaan khatre mein daal rahi hai taaki sabko pataa chal jaaye ki woh killer koi aur hai….

Ar: woh pagal ho gayi hai kya???usse samjhao aisi bewakoofi na kare…usse kuch ho gaya toh main waise bhi jee nahi paoga….

So: humne usse samjhaane ki bahut koshish ki….par woh samajh hi nahi rahi…..woh raat ko fashion show ke dauraan bilkul akeli hogi….i'm sure woh killer uss waqt ridz par attack karega…ab sirf tum ridz ko bachaa sakte ho…

Ar: par main toh yahaan hu…main kaise ridz ko bachaa paoga?

So: tumhe yahaan se nikalna hoga armaan….tumhe iss jail se kuch pal ke liye bhaagna hoga….

Ar: par maine kuch nahi kiya toh yahaan se bhaag kaise sakta hu?inhe yakeen ho jaayega ki main hi serial killer hu isliye main yahaan se bhaag gaya….

So: iss waqt ridz ko bachaana zyaada zaroori hai aur woh sirf tum hi kar sakte ho….police bhi usse koi protection nahi degi kyunki unhe lagta hai unhone serial killer pakad liya hai…..ab tum decide karo tumhaare liye ridz ki jaan zyaada zaroori hai ya khud ki begunaahi…

Ar: tum theek keh rahi ho…agar ridz mere liye apni jaan khatre mein daal sakti hai toh usse bachaane ke liye main itna toh kar sakta hu….par main yahaan se niklooga kaise?

So: uska plan maine soch liya hai…yahaan ki police khaane ka bahut shauk rakhti hai….ek inspector mera dost hai…woh mere kehne par raat ko sabko aisa khaana khilaayega ki khaate hi sab kuch ghanto ke liye so jaayege….tab woh tumhe yahaan se baahar nikaal dega….aur tum ridz ko bachaane seedhe hotel pahunch jaana….

NIGHT TIME:

The show was about to begun.Backstage there was lot of commotion as the models were getting ready.Front stage also audience was totally excited.Press was eagerly waiting to start the shoot.Last minute changes were made.Since Armaan-Riddhima were not doing the show At-An were made the show-stopper.At,An & sonia were more worried for ridz than for the show.Sonia told them how she had planned to help armaan run from the prison & save ridz.They were all now counting on armaan.Armaan could be here anytime to save ridz.Upstairs rahul was packing his bags.He didn't know what he was doing was right or wrong but still he decided to carry on with his plan of going away from here.In other room ridz was sitting all alone.Yes she was scared.She knew now anytime anything could happen.She was unaware of the fact that armaan has broken the prison to save her.She sat there holding the bottle of poison.She had decided if the killer attacks her she would die drinking the poison rather than being his victim.Just then she heard some noise.Some one was trying to open the door.With a BANG!!!!someone opened the door.Ridz stood there shocked & then relief spread over her as she saw armaan standing there.She quickly hugged armaan.

Ri: thank god armaan tum aa gaye…main jaanti thi tum mujhe kuch nahi hone doge….

But something strange happened.When armaan hugged her back she didn't feel the protection she always felt.She broke from the hug.He was smiling at her but the smile was not the charming one.It was cunning & evil.She looked in his eyes & saw no love.There was only lust.Something was wrong.

Ar: mujhe toh aana hi tha ridz….afterall maine tumse promise jo kiya tha….aaj 30 days khatam hue…aaj main tumhaare saamne khadaa hu…tumhaara SERIAL KILLER….

Ridz stood there shell shocked.Everything around her was moving.His words were ringing in her ears.No this can't be true.But this wasn't a joke.There was no kidding.She could read his eyes.He was telling the truth.It was him.Armaan is the serial killer.She couldn't digest this fact.

Okay finally done.I guess this is long enough.

Now coming to the part I'll just say 2 words 'JUST CHILL'…I know many here are ready with their chappals to beat me up but please wait for the next part….Wait till you know what are the circumstances & what is the entire truth….😉

Still if you want to beat me than first catch me coz I'm running away…😆
