Part 8
Finally the day had come. Riya entrd into the office and made everyone hell shockd, again!
Shree: aare, chotu! Ye humari Ri insaan hai ya electric wire? Ek ke baad ek 420 volt ka jhatka di ja rahi hai!
Chotu: ya, Usse dekhke to aisa lag raha hai jaise kuch hua hi nehi! Dekh kaise normal behave kar rahi hai!
Shree: ye to sach me mujhe aab ek peheli hi lag rahi hai! Mujhe to lagta hai aab ye peheli uss Samjhe Ya Samjhaun hi suljha sakte hai!
Chotu: Good morning Ri!
Ri: Good morning chotu!
Shree: to, every thing all right? Bukhar kaisa hai aab? Janab utra ke nehi utra?
Riya: utar gaya shree. U don't need 2 worry about that.
Saying so, she went towards her cabin.
Arjun was watching her since she steppd out in the office area. Riya's behaiviour seemd very normal. But that 'normal' behaiviour of her gave a very 'Abnormal' vibe to Arjun.
'This is not good. Not good at all!' Arjun was now more worried 4 her.
By each passing days, there were some strange changes in her behaivr. Though there was no sudden change, but the change was a gradual one. No one could detect her change by seeing her. But those who were close to her, such as shree, chotu...even Rathod was detecting these changes in her. Aur hamure Arjun sahab ko to pehle din hi negetive vibe mil gaya tha!
Wo aab aur dil khulke nehi hasta. That dimpld smile, which compelld Arjun's heart to make a quick saumrsalt, was hardly visibl now a days!
She didn't even talkd with shree & chotu proparly. That Riya, who never ever be tird of talking, rarely spoke now a days!
Even, sometimes she deliberatly misbehavd with shree & chotu. After her off day, when she came office, then everyone expectd some change in her behavr caz of the recent incident. But that day,she was fine! Now they were not abl 2 detect the cause of her this gradual change. They were hell confused!
But Arjun...he was really pissd off! He couldn't tolerate this form of Riya.
'Mujhe to khush hona chahiye. Usski non-stop radio ab aur office me nehi bajti. Usski muskan, usski shararat jo mujhe destruct karta tha aab wo nehi hai... To phir mujhe khushi kyun nehi ho raha hai? WHY???' His brain askd. But he didn't give his heart any chance 2 reply. He kept aside that ques 2 ans later, again!
Though there was some certain changes in her behavr, but she did'nt, 2 be correct 'could not' stop caring for Him! Still she didn't missd to order His cutting chai in time. But the diffrnc is that, pehle chai wo khud jake Arjun ko deti thi. Par ab kisi aur ke hatho vejwati hai. This was also not went unnoticd by Arjun, but he controlld his anger somehow.
One day, Shree & Chotu made a plan 4 a film 2 lighten Riya's 'unpredictabl' mood.
Shree: yaar, Ri! Dekh mai kya laya hu. Film ke 3 tickt!
Chotu: Dhasu pictur hai Ri! Bada maza ayega!
Riya: gays, tum log jao, mujhe nehi aani.
Shree: par Ri, kitne din ho gaye hum teeno kahi bahar outing ke liye nehi gaya. Aaj chal na...bada maza aayega!
Chotu: haan Ri, jaounga to sab ek sath!
So both of them kept insisting Riya. Suddenly Riya flared up..
Riya: tum logo ko ek baat ek baar kehne se samajh me nehi aata hai kya?? Maine kaha na mujhe nehi jana? To bar bar kyun mujhe insist kar rahe ho? Idhar udhar ke baato ko chodkar agar hum office hour me office ke kamo par dhyan lagaye to zyada behtar hoga. Caz I think that's what we r paid for!
She literally shouted! Shree & chotu were dumbstuk! They were too hurt! So, they silently went out of the room.
Riya turnd her back towards them. A loan tear escapd frm her eyes.
'Forgv me frnds! I'm sorry!' she said slowly. But then & there she wiped the tear frm her eyes & said in mind, 'No riya, u have 2 be strong. U have 2 do this!'
All these r observd by Arjun. But, even he was unabl 2 find the reasons behind her this kind of attitude. He was feeling very helpless!
There was also a weird change in Riya. Since she joind ETF, everybody found that she was indeed a good shooter with an excellent shooting skill. But now a days, she was having problms at aiming gun towards criminals! Her hands literally started 2 shake! As Arjun was closely observing her behavr, this was not unnoticd by him. And he was shockd! 'What the hell is wrong with her!' he thought. 'Aab to paani saar ke upar chala ja raha hai...kuch to karna hi padega.'
In between all these things, one day Rathod announcd, 'Everybody, in the conferenc room! Within 5 minutes!'
after everybody gatherd in the conferenc room,
Rathod: team, ek secret sourse se pata chala ke Sikandar usska main business area Goa me aa raha hai. Women trafficing ka ek bohot bada deal hone wala hai. Commisionar sahab ye case ETF ko handover kiya hai. We should move fast!
By Sikandar's name, 2 person's head shot up. But Arjun ko notice karne ke chakkar me every one missd Riya's expression. Her eyes were burning with the fire of revenge!!
