A DOCTOR AND A NURSE CAME RUNNING TOWARDS ARJUN'S LOUD VOICE AND PUT RIYA ON THE STRETCHER AND TOOK HER INSIDE THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

ARJUN WENT INSIDE RIYA'S ROOM AND SAW HER PEACEFULLY LYING ON HOSPITAL'S BED. HE WENT NEAR HER, HELD HER HAND AND KISSED IT AND STARTED CARESSING HER HAIR.
After an hour
RATHORE, SHREE AND CHOTTU REACHED THE HOSPITAL AND WAS STUNNED TO SEE THE SIGHT THAT AWITED 4 THEM, ARJUN WAS HOLDING RIYA'S HAND IN HIS AND WAS CARESSING RIYA'S HAIR.
Rathore ( coming back to senses ): ummm ar..aarrrgggh..rawte..

Outside Riya's Ward

Rathore ( smiled happily ): arjun...just...clearly batao ki kya hua tha!
Arjun: aaj subah mein dargah gaya tha, wahanpar somebody tried to shoot me, aur woh aapna kaam kar bhi leta agar riya ne mujhe na bachaya hota!
Shree ( listening attentively and narrowed his eyes ) : ri ne...
Arjun: haan, she saw that man, ran towards me and pushed me down, thus she saved me! infact we caught that man too and riya seemed to be hell angry, but before we could find out anything he commited suicide and then after sending his body for postmortem, we were just coming to office when riya sensed that there was a bomb in the car and indeed it was, we just saved ourselves somehow.
Rathore : how is she now?
Arjun: she is all fine, safe and sound, hust a minor cut and an arm fracture.
THE NURSE CAME AND TOLD THEM THE PATIENT IS CONCIOUSNESS AND IS ASKING FOR SOME ARJUN...
THE MEN EXCEPT ARJUN WERE SHOCKED AT THIS BUT SOMEHOW ADJUSTED THEMSELVES AND WENT INSIDE TO MEET RIYA.

Shree: haan..
Riya: toh sunu...
RIYA TOLD THE WHOLE TRITH TO SHREE, LEAVING NOTHING AS A SECRET...( GUYS TUM LOGON KO BAAD MEIN HI PATA CHALEGA...WAIT AND WATCH...OOPSS WAIT AND READ )
WHEN RIYA STOPPED TELLING THE TRUTH SHE WAS IN TEARS AND SO WAS SHREE, SHREE WAS NUMB AFTER KNOWING THE TRUTH...A DEADLY SILENCE WAS THERE IN THE ROOM...RIYA BROKE IT AND SAID...
Riya: ab kyon nahi kuch bolte shree, aur kya kya ilzaam lagaoge mujh par.

Riya: for what?
Arjun: for making me realize my need for a best friend.
Riya: what?
Arjun: nahi samjhi...rehne do...baad mein samjha doonga...now just eat your food...ok let me feed you
RIYA STOPPED ARJUN FROM FEEDIN HER AND SAID THAT SHE WILL EAT IF HE WILL PROMISE HER SOMETHING, AND ARJUN AGREED FOR EVERYTHING...
Riya: arjun YOU ARE MY MOST PRIZED POSSESSION, promise me that you will take care of yourself, even a single scratch on you make my heart bleed.
Arjun was simply amazed at the intensity of her love towards him and said: hey riya, u know what YOU ARE MY MOST PRIZED POSSESSION too, and now onwards our lives are joined, i promise u that i will take care of myself and u know what as of now that our lives are joined, tumhaari zindagi bhi ab meri hai, to uska ( riya's life yaar ) bhi khyaal rakhna
Riya: i love you
Arjun: i love you too.
