It was the most frightening moment of her life. "Taani..listen to me..just go..yahan se jao!" she told the other girl without moving her eyes from the drunk Shivam who was eyeing Taani menacingly. The only thing between the two girls and the gang of drunk guys was the broken bottle in her hand. Taani was still crying and shivering, her eyes darting from Shivam to her. "TAANI..go..NOW" she said in a steel like voice making Taani run away. One of the guys tried following the running girl but the bottle scared him. Now it was 3 against 1. Just that they were drunk, lustful and she was scared. Angry but dead scared. Suddenly, she saw one guy come towards her and shrieked as the bottle almost fell out of her hand.
Taani kept running without turning back. She was hurt but her fear was far stronger than the slight bruise on her arm. "Taani?!" she heard someone scream her name and stopped dead in her tracks. Looking in the direction she saw the entire gang walking around searching for someone. Suddenly Sharon spotted her. "Guys! There!" she pointed in Taani's direction and everyone ran towards her. "Are you mad?! Itne raat mein tum kahan.." Rey stopped as he saw her crying. Swayam and the others had also reached the place and were shocked to see Taani look frightened for her life. "Taani..Taani kya hua? Bol na?" Swayam touched her shoulder lightly, taking in her bruised arm. Everybody tried to calm her down and finally she collapsed in Rey's arms. After a few minutes she jerked her head up and looked directly into Rey's eyes. "Nahi!..Wo..wo log usey kuch..Maine usey wahan.." she was rambling too fast for them to understand. Rey shook her forcefully "Taani ! Calm down! Aur theek se batao. Kaun log? Kisey? Kya hua?" Taani was crying incontrollably but managed to mutter a single sentence "Shivam..Kriya saved me.." .Rey felt like he was hallucinating. Did he just hear her say Kriya? Swayam felt scared out of his wits. He grabbed Taani and looked into her face "Taani. Listen! Kriya? Wo yahan hai? Aur usne tumhe save kiya? Kis se? Ans Shivam, what did he do?" he asked as calmly as he could. Taani looked at the worried faces and slowly told the entire story.
An hour ago:
Taani had finally done it. She had broke up with Shivam. The guy had tried to use her and she would not let him do so. Both of them had got into a huge fight but Taani just walked out of the room. Now she was crying in the garden. She remembered all those lies Shivam had told her. As she finally got up to go, she was shocked to see 3 guys in front of her. Shivam was there and he looked angry. And drunk. Taani didn't know what to do. It was past midnight and there was nobody to help her now.
Kriya felt ridiculous. She had seen her ex-team in the show and had hid herself. And now she was sleepless over it. As she walked along the garden of the hotel, she heard a commotion and looked outside. She saw 3 men and a girl who was backing away from them. She recognised the girl from her team's new group. Kriya thought of calling someone but realised that nobody would be there and she had left her phone in the room. Not knowing what to do she ran towards the scene. She saw Shivam trying to mess with the girl and screamed "Shivam! Stay away!". The other guys looked at her and one guy with a bottle came towards her. Kriya took her chance and pulled the bottle from his hand and broke it. With the sharp piece in her hand she went before Taani, cornering the guys. "Girl, tumhara naam?" she asked Taani who shakily replied. Kriya knew that she was scared and put on a brave mask herself. She made Taani run away before things got messy.
Back to present:
Rey felt every single vein bursting in his body. Kriya had come back. Swayam never reacted violently but today he could commit murder. The girls were disgusted with Shivam and were consoling Taani. Without a word Swayam went towards the garden. Rey hesitated but the thought of Shivam hurting Kriya was enough for him to rush with the other guys. As they reached the place they heard screams and ran harder. Swayam was the first with Rey to reach and almost exploded at the sight before him. "SHIVAM!" he heard Rey thunder and saw the drunk slimeball turn sharply towards them.
Part 2:
Part 2:
Kriya could hear a distant shouting. She tried to get up but her head felt dizzy and everything was revolving. She felt as though Sharon was patting her cheeks and someone like Neha was stroking her hair. There were too many voices and her head hurt. Sharon saw Kriya trying to get up and pushed her gently back to the pillow "Hey hey! Whats the hurry? Tumhe rest karna hoga. Relax, everything is fine." she murmured softly as she saw Kriya look up hazily at her. This was the first time that she had ever talked normally to her. Sharon just wished that the timing wasn't so bad and ironic. The other girls noticed Kriya being conscious and gathered near the bed. Sharon gave them space and went near the window. Her blood still boiled when she thought of that jerk Shivam. If the guys had not reached on time..Sharon shivered at the very thought.
ReYam had found Kriya hit on the head and fallen on the ground when they reached the spot. Shivam and some guy were about to take advantage of her unconsciousness. Rey saw red and it seemed like his friends felt the same thing too. Dazzlers and Weakling, all the boys charged into the three drunkards and beat them up. Shivam and his buddies were drunk and that made them clumsy. Vicky and Nil neatly tackled one guy and encouraged Bharat to give him some tapori kicks. Swayam was knocking the daylights out of Shivam when he noticed Kriya still motionless. He dropped the battered Shivam to the ground and rushed to her. By now Sharon and Neha had also come and they ran to Kriya. Rey was still punching an almost lifeless drunk in fury when Sharon screamed for him. Rey took one glance at Kriya's bleeding head and felt a deathly chill. Her breathing was shallow and her pulse was not stable. They carried her back to their room and Taani called the hotel's physician.
Taani felt a lump ease from her heart when she saw Kriya regaining consciousness. She had known the girl's name when she had told her during the fight yesterday. But only later did she realize from Simmi and Rini that this was Kriya Ghai. The Kriya of Weaklings gang. The Kriya of ..Rey. Taani had instantly felt a stab of jealousy as Rey had brought in an unconscious Kriya in his arms to the room. But then she almost kicked herself. This girl had saved her life. Taani had never prayed so much as she had done for Kriya. Now as she saw the girls hugging a tired and fragile Kriya, she felt what she missed. Kriya had not only Rey's dil but also this dosti. Even after what she had done to them. Brushing away these thoughts she went to the bed with a small smile.
Swayam saw Sharon come out of the room and stood up. The boys had been sitting out in the porch from the incident. Sharon saw him and for a second she wanted to hug him. But she controlled herself and looked at Rey "She's conscious now." she said in a measured voice as she saw different emotions playing across Rey's face. Swayam noticed that she was ignoring him but at that moment Kriya was important. The Weaklings rushed into the room while the Dazzlers stayed outside with Rey. He had been angry the previous night. At Shivam and also a little at Kriya. All the memories had come crashing on him but he had pushed them away seeing her condition. But now it was different. She had regained consciousness. Now they would meet at again. But would it be a pleasant meet? As he saw Taani come out too, he doubted if it would be good.
Kriya smiled at the over acting of her friends. They had first cried, then cursed Shivam, then applauded the boys on their action and now were finally targeting Kriya. "So..tum yahan…" Neha started looking at Swayam for encouragement. Kriya knew what was coming. "Main wapas kyun aayi right?" she asked feebly making Neha wince at the cutting words. "Haan." Swayam replied, still standing near the bed with a stern look "Tum wapas kyun aayi? Humse chupne ke liye? I know that you had seen us. Phir se chup rahi thi right?" he asked expecting her to cry or deny. But simply looked into his eyes and called him closer with her hand. He came closer to her with a frown and was shocked by what she did. Kriya put her arms around Swayam with great strain and smiled "Its ok yaar. I'm here and I'm ok. Main abhi bhi tere saath hi hoon. Tum sab ke saath." she said and Swayam felt all his suppressed fear and hurt come out as he hugged his best supporter and friend. Seeing them, all the friends joined in for a group hug.
Taani sat near Rey as the Dazzlers gathered in their room to cool off. She observed that Rey had shut himself off again. She placed a hand on his clasped hands . He didn't react but didn't push it away either. Finally Sharon spoke up and everyone was shocked at her tone "Phew..What a day! Guys, I forgot to tell you something in all this mess. Kriya is coming to Mumbai." she dropped the bomb and continued before anyone reacted "Wait! Pehle listen to me completely. She's coming back to stay with some family friends. Her mom..her mom passed away some time back and now she is relying on this family friend's place. I don't know ki wo wapas..I mean St.Louis join karegi ya nahi but I just heard this while she told the Weaklings" she completed in a calm voice. Taani had heard it too and was silently looking at Rey who blankly stared at Sharon. The others had different views and everybody was arguing. Suddenly Rey got up and was about to go when Sharon called him. "Relax Sharon. I'm just going to tell the others that we're leaving to Mumbai this afternoon." he said without turning and went away. Taani sensed something change but she just hoped that now everything was ok. She had told Rey about Shivam the previous night and they had hugged. But Rey hadnt said anything in confirmation yet.
Swayam smiled as he saw Kriya try to skip Neha's soup. It had been so long since he had laughed so much. After Taani had left the room, Kriya had asked Swayam about her and both of them had shared some jokes about dance and Dazzler's attitudes. He knew that she had sensed something wrong between Rey and Taani. Kriya had seen taani's reactions when Neha said that Rey had fought for Kriya. But she covered it up, thinking that if Swayam's sister was the one for Rey, then it would be right. Suddenly they heard a knock on the door and Swayam went to open the door. Everybody fell silent as they saw Rey standing outside. He didn't glance at Kriya and just announced "Guys, we leave in the noon. Be ready.". As he turned to go, he heard someone say "No. We don't." Everybody was shocked to see Swayam defy Rey so openly and Kriya felt a storm brewing. She knew why the tension existed and decided to solve it.
So? How was Part 2? Bad? Good? Next part has a lot of confrontation, shock and tests of loyalties. So tell me if you like this before I continue 😆 This is not an SS for ONE couple. Its about the relation all the leads shared and go through! So dont expect any steamy scenes and stuff..Or do..whatever 😉😆
