CHAPTER 5
Riya opened the door of her apartment and ran towards her room. After entering inside the room she locked it up hurriedly, tears began to fall on her white pink cheeks. She hates when someone taunts her for no reason and today arjun had taunted her without letting her give any explaination. Crying with sorrow..she slowly sits with her back at the door. She rises her eyelids and said "God..hamesha mere saath hi aisa kyun hota hai..kyun sab mujhe hi bura samajhte hain jabke ap jante ho mene aaj tak kisi ka bura nahi chaha. Mein bhala ronnie ko kyun maaru gi..mein toh us se nafrat karti hoon" silence spread all around for a moment. "Arjun..mene tumhe kitna galat samjha tha (tears still falls over her cheeks) mujhe lagta tha ke tum mujhe samajhte ho par galat thi main..bohat galat thi main. Apne dostu ke bad mene ek tum pe bharosa kiya tha, par aaj tum ne mera wo bharosa bhi apne jhoote dost ka saath de kar tod diya".
*********
"Arjun tujhe kitni dafa kaha hai ke apne gusse ko shant rakha kar" shouted sameer. "Sam tune ronnie ki halat dekhi nahi..(he looked at ronit from the glass hole of door)dard se bura haal ho raha hai us ka (he turned to sameer) aur ab bhi tum riya ki taraf dari kar rahe ho?" he asked in anger.
Trying to handle his anger, sameer said in warm voie"arjun tu samajh nahi raha mera kehne ka matlab wo nahi mein bas itna kehna chahta hoon ke tujhe riya ki baat ek baar sun leni chahiye thi.."."Kya sunta mein sam..kya sunta..ke kaise us ne ronnie ko marne ki koshish ki ya kaise us ne apna badla lena chaha?" said a boiled arjun.
Sameer trying to control himself said"Par ye bhi to sach hai ke wo us waqi nashe mein thi usse khud hi pata na ho ke us ne kya kiya..wo bechari kuch kehna chahti thi lekin us se pehle hi tum ne us par ilzam laga dala" it made arjun realize his mistake of being rude towards riya.sam continued "tu ronnie ki bat sun kar itni jaldi koi bhi faisla kaise kar sakta hai arjun..arry adalat mein bhi dono taraf ke bayan sun kar faisla karti hai phir tum kon hoty ho bina kuch bhi jaane kisi bhi cheez ka faisla karne waaley?" and he left him sitting on the chair all alone in the corridor of the hospital.
Next Day:
The sun is rises and a ray of light from the window's glass, falls on riya's face. The lines of glares that shot for her eyelids awaked her.Opening her eyes slowly, the only thing that was visible to her..was the roof and ceiling. She spent whole night trying to remember the incident happened in the room of the club but in vain. She got up from the floor as if someone has soaked all strength from her body..making her feel motionless. She some how managed to get up and reached the desk near the bed. Her eyes were still closing but building strength in her body she forwards her hand to pick the glass of water and drink it.
"Jo hua so hua riya..ab sab kuch bhool aur...ek naye din ki shurwat naye andaz se kar" saying this she moved to get dressed to leave for college".
On the other hand The noise of the peoples roaming around awaken arjun. building a memory of last night he rushed inside to look for ronnie. he saw that doctor is already examining ronit and sameer is standing beside and asked "Doctor ab kaisi tabiyat hai ronit ki"."Well..he's better now" replied doctor. Sam asked the doctor happily "that's a very good news doctor.." cutting him in mid arjun speaks "hum kab tak isse ghar le ja sakte hain doctor". "Aaj ki..bas kuch formalities poori hone ke baad hum inhe discharge kar dein ge" doc replied. Arjun smiled and pay thanks to him. He left.
Arjun, holding his arm on his shoulder brought ronnie inside the room and lay him on bed while sam come behind them holding a bag which contains all the necessary things and medicines ronit needed, puting the bag on the bed he turned to leave when arjun stops him" Sam..kahan ja rahe ho". "ronit mein college ja raha hoon. wapsi pe tumhare hi ghar aun ga.." after a moment of silence sam continued "Agar kisi aur ko bhi jaana hai toh i'll be waiting in the car outside woh 10 min mein aa sakta hai" and he left.
"Arjun jao..lagta hai sam tum se gussa hai" said ronit. Arjun smiled and said "no problem ronit ussey to mein sambhal lun ga bas tum theek ho jao". "arry jis ke pas tum dono jaise yaar hoon wo theek kaisa na ho" both smiled.
At the college:
Sam parked his car in his lane and came out. Arjun follows him out and ran behind him calling his name but he ignored. running a bit fast he reached in front of him and stop him say "Ab tak gussa ho" Holding his both ears he said "Acha baba sorry..ab to maaf kar de". Sam looked at him and said "Maafi mangni hai to riya se mango mujhe se kyu mang rahe ho". Arjun with a surprized expression said "sam tu janta hai tu kya keh raha hai"."haan janta hoon isi liye keh raha hoon ke tum riya se maafi mang" he yelled . "Ok..agar tum aise hi razi hoge to i will" arjun replied. Sam smiled and hugged him saying "Love you bro..teri yahi adat mujhe boht pasand hai ke tu apni galti boht jald maan leta hai". Arjun thinks about riya and feels guilty.
After a lunch break riya along with choree was walking around the corridor when arjun appears. Riya for a moment, gets shocked watching him in front of her eyes. She reminds all that bitter words arjun said to her last night and gets furious. Arjun was feeling hesitated. He couldn't find a way to talk to her or he had no words to apologize for his misbehavior.
"Riya..i want to talk to you" said arjun in a warm voice. "Par mujhe tum se koi baat nahi karni arjun. leave my way" she replied in a harsh voice. "Par riya i want to..." chottu didn't let arjun complete and putting his hand on his chest, he pushed him back with all his strength. This jerk leads arjun to lost his balance and he fell down on the floor. An angry chottu said "Suna nahi tune..riya ne kaha na us ko tujh se koi baat nahi karni to bas..nahi karni" and he along with riya and shree moved ahead. Riya for a moment felt bad for arjun but remembering their last night convo she ignored but arjun stared at his eyes with a hope of some response but to no avail.
Later, on the way to home after the bell rang, riya was standing outside the college gate waiting for shree to pick her but he was late maybe..Riya look at her wrist watch noting the time she said "dhai baj gaye aur ye shree abhi tak aya kyu nahi" a little bit expressions of worry appears on her face. she was still lost in her thoughts when suddenly a car stops in front of her. looking at it angrily she thought in her mind "isse bhi car yahi khari karni thi..nonsense". She moved on her left when someone opens the door of the car (maybe he did it to stop her). She stopped then and there.
Riya, rising her eyebrow said angrily"Excuse me..Aap ko pata hai yeh no parking area hai..aur upar se aap kitne batameez hain agar mujhe lag jati to??". A voice came from inside "Sorry". Hearing that voice she becomes aware of the person sitting inside and said "Arjun tum". He came outside with a smile. Riya got surprised watching a bunch of pink flowers tied in a pik ribbon. Yes, pink was her favorite color. Ignoring him, she changed her way and began to walk straight. Arjun was calling her name continuously but she paid no attention. "inn larkiyu ko samajhna itna mushkil kyu hai" said arjun hopelessly.
She wanted nothing to hear from him further after yesterday's night. Finding none of her buddy to help her reach home, she decided to go alone. "what do he think he is...jab dil kiya suna diya aur jab dil kiya sorry keh liye". On the bus stop, while she was standing to look for a bus, Arjun again stopped his car in front of her and opened the glass window while smiling.looking at him she got angry and begun to walk straight, while arjun follows her.
Realizing that he's following her, she turned back and come near the car. Arjun opened the door. She bent down to look at him and said "Tum mera peecha kar rahe ho arjun" she asked furiously. "Haan...lagta to aisa hai hai" He replied. "You are disgusting " saying this she turned round when arjun hurriedly grabs her wrist and pulled her inside the car. Her head collabs with arjun's head and both together said "ouch...". Holding their heads both opened their eyes..to their goodness both were so close to each other that they could easily feel each other's breath. Arjun for a moment lost in her beauty. This was merely the first time he has saw her so closely.
breaking their eye lock, both sits properly on the seat. Arjun looks at her again and he slowly moves toward her. She, for a while gets shocked when she saw him coming towards her. blinking her eyelids more faster than usual...her heart beat gets higher..He come much close to each other. Both saw into each other's eyes. Arjun then forwards her arm and close the door, moving back to his seat.
He starts the car. A shocked riya said "Arjun stop the car." but he turns deaf ears towards her. "Arjun i said stop the car" she yelled. He stops. "Now what riya..why you asked me to stop the car" asked arjun. "because i don't want to travel with you" she replied. "What..and why don't you want to travel with me what's the problem" He asked.
"the problem is that i don't want to spoil my mood" Looking at him furiously, she opened the door and walked out. Arjun closes his eyes and took a deep breath, controlling his anger.
She walked a mile and while walking she put her hand on her waist looking for her purse."Kya..." she shouted when she found no bag that she has worn before leaving the college. "lagta hai arjun ki car mein..gir gaya". She panics and thought in her mind "ab mein ghar kaise jaun gi..Relax riya..it's highway nearby. Koi na koi lift mil hi jaye gi. Finally, she reached the highway. keeping her thumb up with straight arm..she was standing near the road. Some guys on the jeep stopped near her. they were impressed by her beauty. one of them asked "aap ko kahi jana hai hum chor dein??". Riya smiled and replied "Umm..Ya i need to go home". another guy said "ya sure aap aayein". "Thank you" she smiled and sits on the front seat.
On the other hand, arjun came across highway and panics when he wasn't able to trace her anymore. "Kahan gayi ye larki abhi to yahi thi" he said to himself.
On the way, The guy took the car in no entry road and stopped in mid. Riya get's frustrated and asked "Ye kaha le aye ho mujhe. Tum log mujhe ghar drop karne wale thy na to phir". All guys get off the jeep and the first one said "Arry pareshan kyun hoti ho sweetheart...ghar bhi chor dein ge..par us se pehle iss jawani ka maza zara humein bhi to chakh lene do" All laughed together. She too gets off the jeep but tried to run when the second man grabbed her arm and pulled her downwards. She fell on the ground. the third man tries to harass her. Riya felt helpless. Arjun continued his search in finding riya. While he was passing the highway, he heard a sound "Bachao"..."Bachao" which led him to stop immediately. "Yeh...Yeh to riya ki awaz lag rahi hai" he mumbled.
"Awaz toh issi raste se aa rahi hai...par yaha to no entry ka board laga hua hai" he thought in his mind. He then turned the car to no entry way..Riya shouted laudly "Bachao". The men laughed. "chup kar...yaha koi teri awaz nahi sun sakta aur na koi tujhe bachane aye ga. To behtar yehi hoga ke tu mere ko jyada gussa mat dila (Grabbing her hair) warna wo halat karun ga ke tu jindagi bhar yaad rakhe gi samjhi..".
Riya cries of her helplessness. Suddenly she caught a sight on arjun. With a hope she pushed him back and gets up calling 'Arjun" with a little smile on her lips.
A furious arjun, while standing still , was glaring at all the goons. A guy moves ahead to punch him but before he could, arjun punched him in his face and he fell aside. 2nd man came forward and was beaten badly. now came forward the third one. Arjun kicked him in his stomach. The 1st one got up and while arjun was beating the 2nd and the 3rd one. He pushed him.Instead of looking who had pushed him, Arjun tried to save himself from falling.One of them pushed him again.He fell to the right of riya. Another man takes riya under his control by grabbing her arm. While arjun was fallen down to face, A foot came up from behind and kicked him in the face. (It was quite hurting). Riya stays repeating Arjun's name.He was almost half-dead.
He pulled him to his feet, almost tearing the collar... Arjun heard the slight rasp of material ripping. "Arjun" Shouted riya loudly...". "Please arjun ko chor do.." riya requested. The third one replied"Kyu aashiq hai tera..bada tarass aa raha hai iss pe..chal aaj tere samne iss ka ram naam satya karte hain..boht maja aaye ga" and he laughed. The 2nd one hold him back and the 3rd one take out the knife from his pocket. Watching the knife riya shouted further loud "Arjun..chor do ussey please" and she cries. While the 3rd man steps forward holding the pocket knife..riya fell on her knees, she begs him to leave him. But he was heartless.
Suddenly they heard the police's siren. 2nd goon"chalo bhago police aa rahi hai" 3rd guy "haan haan chalo". 1st guy "paar in ka kya karna hai"."3rd "aary bharr mein jaye ye dono...jaan bachi to laakho paye paise bhi aur larkiya bhi". and all three ran away in no time leavig arjun half-dead. Riya come to arjun and put his head in her lap saying "A...arjun tum..tum theek ho na..dekho wo log chle gaye..please arjun apne ankhein kholo". But he didn't made even a single move. Riya feared of losing him. She begin to rub his palms in order to generate heat in his body as his body was loosing it's temperature..
The sun was almost setting on it's time. Riya somehow manages to bring arjun to her home as she was unaware of arjun's residence.She even called the doctor for his thorough check up. Doctor assures riya to let arjun take complete bed rest for at least 2 days.
Riya comes to the room and sit besides arjun on a stool. A little smile spreads over her cheeks.."Tumhe samajhna kitna mushkil hai na arjun..ek taraf tum apne dost ki khatir mujhe chot bhi de dety ko taiyar hoty ho aur dusri taraf mujhe chot lagne se bacha bhi lety ho". She remembers how he tried all day to pay sorry to her. "Kabhi kabhi tum ek rude arrogant insan ban jate ho aur..dusre hi pal itne naram dil ke kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta hai shayed mein hi tumhe samajhne mein galti kar deti hu.Shayed iss bar bhi mene tumhe samajhne mein galti kar di. Tum utne burey bhi nahi ho jitna dikhne ki koshish karte ho. bas...boht kam log shayed tumhe samajh paate hain" She added and smiled again.
Ronnie's Residence:
Ronnie is sitting on sofa having a solo party. Suddenly his phone rang, he pick the call saying "Hello". A voice from the other side says "Sir..kaam ho gaya". Ronnie smiles. "par sir ek gadbad ho gayi" says the man on other side. "Kya gadbad hui" asked ronnie exhaling a cool breath. "Sir...wo..beech mein ek larka aa gaya tha..aur humein usse bhi marna pada" said the man. "Abay kon tha jis ko apni jaan pyari nahi thi" ronnie asked. man on other side"Pata nahi saheb..wo jeep mein aya tha aur phir aa ker hum se larne laga".
This shocks ronit, he says "Kya...us ka koi huliya btao ya koi nishani kuch to yaad hoga". "Us ne safed Shirt aur kaale rang ki pant pehni thi saheb" the man replied. "Oh shit..." ronit thinks in his mind "koi kaam dhang se nahi hota na tum logon se..us larke se panga lene ko kis ne kaha tha..jante ho wo mera dost tha" he said. "Sorry saheb..par us ne pehle hum sab ko maara" the man replied. Angrily, Ronit disconnected the call saying "disgusting".
