The Wait (Ariya FF) part-24 updated (page-45) - Page 45

I had so much to write after reading that update but even days later I feel the same.. wth i will write this

Arjun is a stone. He's not a person. Maybe even a sociopath. He don't care people gets hurt or not. Man rakhna choro he don't even bother to feel for others. As if that will hurt his masculinity or his non existent heart.

It's been probably years with the team. He can't bother to stay at a party, usme v isko attitude dikhana hai and yell at a poor girl who just tried to make everyone happy. It's not like he can't play nice - there was no need to even entertain Rathores mother. He did cause he wanted to. But his mental block comes when it's his team.

And the thing is his team likes him. Cares too much. They help with cases and goes in field. Will shield him if there is a gun fight. But dude deserve nothing. He will berate that why they took bullet for him, but he won't think why they did. And to his pov he's right, no expectations only formality right. But humans are like that, silly humans start to care for dogs and animals after few moments. Ye to insaan hai

Basically arjun deserves nothing. He's not a human and everyone is just wasting their time. Riya actually is quite realistic. I mean she will confess and this stone will throw her words on her face, why take that humiliation? Let Arjun stay in his delusional world of i me myself. People will move on and be happy but he will always be resting bitx face. Let him suffer

Part-24

"Tere aur Arjun sir ke bich me kuch hua kya.?"

Shree asked , purposely staying behind with her, as everyone else made their way to the SUV.

"Nahi toh."

Riya replied shortly, stealing a quick glance at Arjun who walked towards another SUV followed by Ayesha,Chhotu.

"Jarur kuch hua hai. Jabse hum Jodhpur se wapas aye hain tera mood kuch ukhda hua hai.

Arjun sir bhi wahan se kisiko bina bataye aagaye the."

Shree looked at her intently.

"Shree tum bhi kitna soch rahe ho.

Tum jaante ho Arjun sir kaise hain , kuch kaam hoga toh vo jaldi agaye honge aur bina bataye aane ki unki aadat hai."

Riya explained.

"acha ? Toh abhi tumne Arjun sir ke sath jaane se mana kyun kar diya.?

Unhone kuch kaha hai tujhe.?"

Shree pressed further.

"Maine mana nahi kiya mujhe sach me school ke bachon se milna tha, tumhe pata hai mujhe bhoot ki stories me kitni interest hoti hai.

Aur sir mujhe kyun kuch bolenge? Maine ab tak toh unse baat bhi nahi ki hai."

"Wohi toh tu Arjun sir se baat bhi nahi kar rahi hai.

Aesa lag raha hai tum dono ka jhagda hua hai."

"Kuch bhi Shree. Arjun sir aur mera jhagda? Vo second in command chief hai aur mai ek mamuli officer.

Vo sirf mujhe daant sakte hain."

Riya replied faking a smile ,then hurried inside the SUV leaving Shree confused behind.

_______________

"Unity school. Pichhle 30 saal se ye school chal raha hai aur kaafi jaana maana school hai. Haan ye baat alag hai ki kuch salo se school ki popularity thodi kam hogayi hai, per abhi bhi kaafi bache yahan padhai kar rahe hain."

Sakshi started , as all gathered in the conference hall with the information they got throughout the whole day.

"Pichle 2 mahino se school me bhoot ka rumour chal raha hai.

Hostel me rehne wale kuch bache aur 2 teachers ne dekha hai koi bhoot.

Bachon ko toh kuch bhi bolke chup kara di gayi hai per unn 2 teachers ka bolna hai ki jab vo late night tak kaam kar rahe the tab sach me unhone kisiko dekha tha Staff room ke aas pass."

Sakshi added.

"Maine hostel ke bachon se puchha tha, kuch bache toh aese hi masti ke liye apne friends ko darane ke liye bhoot ka naam le rahe hain ,per ek bachi hai Mayra 7th class ki, uska kehna hai ki usne sach me kisiko dekha tha aur uss raat usne warden ko bhi batayi thi ye baat per kisine uska biswas nahi kiya."

Riya said and put out a drawing paper from a file on the table.

"ye drawing mujhe Mayra ke table se mili, ye sayad usne jis raat kuch dekha tha uske baad banaya hai."

She explained and Rathore took the paper keenly observing it.

"Mayra ne apne parents ko inform kiya hai.?"

Arjun asked her.

"Mayra se pehle school ne uske parents ko inform kiya tha aur meeting ke liye bulaya tha ,aur unko warning di gayi thi ki Mayra ko samjhayein ki aesi kahani sunake bachon ko na daraye.

Ye baat mujhe Mayra ke parents ne khud bataya."

Riya answered without making any eye contacts with Arjun.

"Per ye banaya kya hai usne.?"

Chhotu interrupted looking at the piece of paper.

"Dekhne se toh bas kisi ke baal aur kapde dikh rahe hain muh toh dikh hi nahi raha."

He added sounding confused.

"Bhoot log aese hi dikhte hain re ,vo apna muh nahi dikhate , bas apne lambe baal aur safed kapda dikhate hain"

Shree joked beside him, making his friends chuckle.

"Shree, mazaq ka waqt nahi hai ye"

Rathore snapped at him.

"Sorry sir."

Shree murmured.

"school ke kuch teachers isko sach maan rahe hain toh kuch teachers toh strongly oppose kar rahe hain."

Sakshi shrugged.

"Aur vo teacher jo gayab huye hain? Unko kisine nahi dekha.?"

Ayesha asked curiously.

"Nahi .jis din vo teacher gayab huuye the uss din vo school aye the aur ek class bhi attend kiya tha.Per dusre class start hone se pehle vo gayab hogaye. Aakhir baar unhe staff room ke pass dekha gaya tha."

Riya answered her.

"Aur school ke CCTV cameras se koi footage mila.?"

Arjun enquired.

"school ke andar koi CCTV cameras nahi hai,bas school ke entrance pe hai aur usme vo teacher ke andar aane ka footage hai per bahar jaane ka nahi."

Rathore replied.

"Haan aur school ki security system kaafi weak hai.

Aur aese me school ke prinicipal ka ye kehna hai ki ye koi case nahi banta jo hum investigate karne ki koshis kar rahe hain."

Shree shook his head .

"Kamal hai unka ek teaher gayab hogaya hai aur unhe ye case hi nahi lagta.?"

Chhotu wondered .

"Principal ka kehna hai school ke picche bhi ek raasta hai jo ground se hoke sidha bahar jaata hai , toh ho sakta hai teacher wahan se bahar nikal gaya ho aur uske kisiko contact na karne ke pichhe koi personal reason ho."

Rathore answered then looked up to Chhotu,Ayesha .

"Teacher ke ghar se kya pata chala.?"

"Sir teacher ka naam Ashis kataria hai aur ye Delhi ke rehne wale hain, pichhle 2 saal se vo Mumbai me reh rahe the aur school me English teacher the."

"Chhotu shadi ka bio-data nikalne ke liye nahi kaha tha.

Hamare kaam ki kya information hai vo bolo."

Rathore chided.

"um sir uski basic details toh yahi hai. Yahan rent pe rehta hai aur ghar locked hai.

Padoshion ka kehna hai vo ghar 3 din se wapas nahi aya hai.

Uske ghar ke owner se bhi baat ki humne per vo kisi police case me involve hi nahi hona chahta ,yahan tak ki ghar ko check karne se bhi saaf mana kar diya."

Ayesha replied.

"per hame ek clue mila hai."

Chhotu added putting up an old paper box on the table.

"Ye hame uske bed ke niche mila ."

"ye toh koi delivery package jaisa lag raha hai."

Sakshi guessed staring at the box.

"Sahi kaha Sakshi ye delivery package hi hai.

Per isme address Panchghani ka hai."

Arjun mentioned.

"Panchghani ka address? "

Chhotu piped in.

"Haan Panchghani se teacher ke liye koi parcel aya tha.

Ab usme jo chiz thi vo toh usne nikal li hai per packet fekna bhul gaya."

Ayesha explained.

"Panchghani me koi rehta hai kya teacher ka.? Friend? Relative.?"

Riya enquired.

"Relative toh nahi hai itna unke family ne confirm kiya hai. Agar koi friend hoga toh unko nahi pata.

Wese bhi package me kisika phone number nahi hai."

Ayesha sighed.

"Ek min. Chhotu, tumne kaha ghar locked tha aur ghar ke owner ne check karne se mana kardiya tha ,toh tum logon ko ye parcel bed ke niche se kaise mila.?"

Rathore eyed him curiously and Chhotu straightened up.

"Vo toh sir...."

Chhottu trailed moving his eyes to the other end of the table and Rathore's eyes instantly snapped to Arjun who kept spinning the pen in between his fingers.

"Kya kiya Arjun sir ne.?"

Shree asked in a low voice ,even though it was audible in the silent conference room.

"Lock todke phenk diya."

Chhotu whispered, thus everyone looked down to their respective files to resume the discussion ,not reacting much to what is already known to them.

"Itni information kaafi nahi hai. Hame school ko proper search karna padega per uske liye hame warrant chahiye aur sabse pehle hame ye prove karna padega ki school me sach me kuch gadbad hai."

Rathore spoke breaking his silence after few minutes.

"Per sir School ke teacher , principal koi bhi jyada co-operate nahi kar rahe ,aese me kuch bhi prove karna bahut muskil hai."

Shree reasoned.

"Toh warrant ke liye raasta kaise niklega.?"

Sakshi asked thoughtfully.

"Raasta hai."

Arjun announced making all heads turn to him.

"Kya.?"

Sakshi looked at him curiously.

"School me abhi abhi ek English teacher gayab hua hai toh jaahir si baat hai ek naye English teacher ki jarurat padegi.

Hamme se ek wahan teacher banke jaayega , staff ko toh pure school ki access hoti hai.

Agar vo teacher abhi tak school me hi hai toh jarur koi staff isme mila hua hai , toh hame sab pe closely najar rakhni hogi."

Arjun explained thoroughly.

"Rawte sahi keh raha hai , hamme se koi ek jayega toh staffs pe najar rakhna easy ho jayega.

Mai school ke vice-prinicipal se baat kar lunga, hamara ek officer kal se as a teacher school join karega.

Per sawal ye hai ki kaun jayega.?"

Rathore looked at everyone expectantly.

"Sir hum toh aaj hi school gaye the toh mai, sakshi ya shree me se koi nahi jaa sakta school me teacher ban ke."

Riya said thoughtfully.

"Toh Ayesha jayegi wahan.

Aur ek female teacher ke jaane se koi zyada sawal nahi puchhega wahan."

Arjun declared.

"Ayesha.?"

Rathore looked at her , waiting for her answer and she quickly nodded.

"OK sir mai ready hun."

"good. Shree , Ayesha ko jo bhi equipment chahiye sab de do.

Aur Ayesha yaad rahe wahan sab shaq ke dayre me aate hain."

Rathore reminded her.

"Ji sir."

She nodded in agreement.

"Sakshi tum school ke sare teachers ke background ,aur school records ki details nikalogi.

Chhotu tum jo teacher gayab hua hai Ashis uske bank account details aur phone call records sab check karoge.

Shree tum school ke pichhle 1 mahine ke sare CCTV footage check karoge, kuch bhi suspicious laga toh mujhe inform karna.

Rawte aur Riya tum dono kal Panchghani jaoge wahan se teacher ka kya connection hai ye pata karne.

Is everything clear.?"

Riya sat up straight on hearing her assigned task and looked up to Rathore parting her lips to request to change it ,but then she had already changed her task once and seeing how Shree was watching her curiously this time she shut her lips tight nodding her head instead.

"Ok sir."

Everyone said in union , except Arjun who got up and left without uttering a single word.

__________

The next morning everyone came in time and Ayesha left for school in a teacher attire with all her necessities for spying after getting encouragement from her friends and Rathore.

Once after she left everyone else started doing their respective jobs when Riya slowly turned to face Arjun since it was their time to leave , meanwhile Arjun quietly put the SUV key on the table and left for the parking lot.

"Riya tere toh maje hain , Panchghani me duty ka duty aur mini picnic bhi ho jayegi teri."

Chhotu whispered teasing her.

"Chhotu tune dekha nahi vo kiske sath jaa rahi hai? Picnic toh dur ki baat hai vo Panchghani ka hawa bhi ni kha sakti shanti se."

Shree chuckled beside him.

"Sach me Riya mera bahut mann tha tum dono ke sath Panchghani jaane ka.

Agar Sameer ne itna sara kaam na diya hota toh mai bhi chalti."

Sakshi said in a disappointed tone.

"Koi baat nahi hum phir kabhi chalenge."

Riya assured her halfheartedly before grabbing the key and left.

Her purpose to ignore Arjun was going on just fine until this time.

She hoped for Rathore to assign at least one more member with them but it seemed like there was a lot of task needed to be done in a short time of period.

Sighing she took the driver's seat while Arjun took the passenger seat and she drove away reminding herself the duty comes first.

*******

"Hello sir mai Ayesha Kapoor. Samed sir ne mujhe aapse milne ke liye bheja hai."

Ayesha smiled standing in front of the principal.

"Oh right Ms Ayesha please sit down.

Mujhe phone aya tha aapke appointment ke liye. Aapke documents check kiye hain maine ,kaafi impressive hai."

The principal spoke with a soft smile.

"Ji thank you sir.

Maine bhi school ke baare bahut kuch suna hai."

She said taking seat across the table.

"I hope ki sab achha hi suna hai aapne."

"yeah of course.

Bachon ko gyan dene wali jagah ke baare me koi bura kaise bol sakta hai."

"I really appreciate your words Ms Ayesha , per aapke join karne se pehle mai aapko kuch batana chahta hun.

Teacher ke liye sabse jaruri hoti hai unki patience, bache aur profession ko leke patience.

Shuru me ho sakta hai aapko yahan kuch cheezein thik na lage ya phir odd lage but I can assure you that you will get habituated with everything once after you start teaching here."

Ayesha eyed the old man warily , but nevertheless smiled.

"Sure no problem sir."

the principal nodded pressing the buzzer and a peon came in.

"Mam ko staff room dikha do."

"Ok sir toh mai chalti hun."

"Sure."

Ayesha excused herself out of the cabin and followed the peon roaming her eyes around the school campus smiling at the students on her way.

**********

Arjun tore his gaze from the road ahead to Riya who was driving with utmost concentration in complete silence then looked back ahead.

Just then Riya's phone rang with Chhotu's number which she picked up instantly through the earbud.

"Hello . Haan chhotu.?"

"Riya, mai ye Ashish ke call records check kar raha tha per parcel me jo date likhi thi uss date pe toh isse sirf school ke staff ko chhod ke koi dusra call nahi kiya tha."

Chhotu spoke from the other end.

"Kya? Ek bhi dusra number nahi hai.?"

"Nahi. Call record me maximum school ke staffs ke hi numbers hai."

"Thik hai chhotu."

She disconnected the call, when Arjun turned his head.

"Kya kaha chhotu ne.?"

"Chhotu Ashish ke call records check kar raha hai aur usme jis din panchghani se parcel receive hua uss din school staffs ko chhod ke koi dusra call nahi aya tha."

She answered him.

"Iska matlab ya toh vo parcel kisi staff ne bheja tha ya phir Ashis ke pass dusra SIM card ya phone tha."

Arjun murmured.

"per school walon ke pass toh Ashish ka ek hi number hai.

Aur kisine uske dusre phone ka zikr nahi kiya tha."

Riya objected.

"Ho sakta hai dusre phone ke baare me kisiko pata na ho. Kuch log rakhte hain aese phone jo sirf personal use ke liye hoti hai aur ek jo sirf work call attend karne liye rakhte hain.

Taaki duty ke baad work phone off rakh sake."

Arjun explained.

"ho sakta hai."

Riya nodded agreeing with him and everything fell back to silence again.

On reaching the designated address after hours of driving Arjun knocked on the door of the house and a woman answered it much to Riya's confusion.

"Ji kahiye."

The woman stared at them ,when Arjun showed his id.

"ETF .

Aapse kuch baat karni hai."

"Huh?

Andar aayeiye.

ETF ka mujhse kya kaam.?"

She asked confused.

"Aapka naam?"

Arjun asked entering in.

"Ji Neha. Neha Mathur."

Riya scrolled through her phone and showed her the screen displaying the teacher's photo.

"Kya aap inhe jaanti hain.?"

Riya questioned.

"Ashis? Ye Ashis hain . Per aap inka photo mujhe kyun dikha rahi hain.?"

"Aap kahin jaa rahi thi.?"

Arjun asked her noticing her luggage near the bed, ignoring her last question.

"Mai aaj subah hi wapas aayi hun tournament se."

"Tournament.?"

"ji haan mai ek private school me sports teacher hun aur hamare school ke sports tournament ke liye mai students ko leke out of state gayi thi, aaj subah hi lauti hun."

"kitne dino se gayi thi aap.?"

"sir 4 din se.

per sir aap batayenge aap ye sab kyun puch rahe hain aur Ashish kahan hai? Unka phone bhi ni lag raha."

Arjun kept mum at her question ,thus Riya stepped forward to answer.

"Dekhiye Ashish gayab hai."

"Gayab hai matlab.?"

"Matlab 3 din pehle vo school gaye the per wahan se vo laute nahi .

Aur vo kahan hai kisiko nahi pata ,issliye hum investigate kar rahe hain."

"Kya? Ashish school se laute nahi ? Toh aap unke school me puchhiye."

The woman started crying and Riya made her sit on the nearby couch.

"school me bhi kisiko kuch nahi pata ,issliye hum jaanne ki koshis kar rahe hain ki kya hua tha.

Aur issliye aapko jitna bhi pata hai hame batana padega."

Arjun said looking down at her.

"Puchhiye , kya puchhna hai aapko.?"

The woman said wiping her tears.

"Ashis ko aap kaise jaanti hain.?"

Riya questioned when Arjun went ahead to look around the hall.

"Vo hum—shadi karne wale the."

Neha answered hesitating a little.

"shadi? Per Ashis ke ghar walon ne hame aapke bare me kuch nahi bataya."

Riya shook her head.

"Unke ghar walon ko hamare rishte ke baare me pata nahi hai.

Ashis apne ghar walon ko kuch mahino me batane wale hi the."

"Kabse jaante hain aap ek dusre ko.?"

"8 saal se. Hum dono Delhi me mile the college me, tabse hum dono sath hain.

Innfact Ashish koshis kar rahe thr ki mujhe ek job Mumbai me mil jaaye toh hum dono ek sath reh sakte hain."

"8 saal ka relationship aur usne apne ghar walon ko aapke baare me kuch nahi bataya.?"

Arjun interfered them.

"Ashish ke ghar wale bahut conservative type ke hain , unke ghar me love marriage support nahi karte hain.

Issliye Ashish chahte the pehle Mumbai me achhe se settle ho jaye phir ghar walo ko batayenge toh koi mana nahi kar payega.

Per usse pehle toh...."

The woman cried thus Arjun brought the tissue box to her.

"Aapke ghar walon ko pata hai Ashish ke bare me.?"

"Nahi. Ashish ne mana kiya tha. vo chahte the ki pehle unke ghar wale maan jaye phir hum dono milke mere ghar walon se baat karenge."

"Aakhri baar kab baat ki thi Ashish se aap se.?"

Riya questioned once after she calmed down.

"JI 4 din pehle . Jis din mai tournament ke liye nikli thi. Keh rahe the bahut kaam hai ,issliye jab unhone mujhe 3 din se phone ni kiya toh mujhe laga kaam me busy honge.

Mujhe kya pata tha aesa kuch ho jayega."

"Toh kya 3 din me aapne unhe ek baar bhi contact ni kiya tha.?"

Riya narrowed her gaze.

"Maine kiya tha per unka number switched off tha . Kabhi kabhi jab zyada kaam hota hai vo phone off rakhte the aur baad me khud call back karte the ,issliye maine unhe messages diye the per unhone reply nahi kiya tha."

"Kya Ashish ke pass 2 phone number hai.?"

Arjun asked.

"Ji haan sir unke pass 2 phone hai . Ek vo apne office use ke liye rakhte hain aur dusra unke family,friends ke liye rakhte the. Hamari baat unki dusre number se hi hoti thi."

Came the woman''s quick reply.

"hame vo dusra number mil sakta hai.?"

Riya quickly opened her notepad and reached to her pocket to grab her pen but found nothing.

Just then Arjun forwarded his pen to her and she took it sparing a quick glance at him and noted down the number.

"Jab Ashish ka number switch off tha aapne dusra number try kiya tha.?"

Arjun asked after thinking something.

"Maine aaj subah unke dono number pe phone kiya tha per dono hi switch off arrahe hain .

Darsal unke office number pe mai kabhi phone ya message nahi karti, Ashis ne mana kiya hua tha.

Vo apna work phone zyadatar staff room me bhul jaate the aur privacy ke liye unhone mujhe kabhi uss number pe phone karne ke liye mana kiya tha.

3 din ke baad jab dusra number on nahi hua toh maine aaj subah unke office number pe call kiya tha per vo bhi off hai."

The woman started weeping.

"Kya aap iss ghar me akeli rehti hain.?"

Arjun asked roaming his eyes around.

"ji haan mai Mumbai se belong karti hun aur yahan job ke liye 1 saal se akeli rehti hun.

Ashish har weekend pe yahan aate the aur hum sath me waqt bitate the."

Riya spared her a pitiful look and then asked.

"Kya unhe koi pareshani thi ? School ko leke ya phir koi personal problem jo aapko bataya ho inn kuch dino me.?"

"Ji nahi . Aesa toh kuch nahi tha. Haan per school ke problems vo mere sath kabhi share nahi karte the ,issliye taaki mai pareshan na ho jaaun. Apne kaam ko leke bahut serious the vo aur khush bhi."

The woman answered wiping her cheeks ,while Riya stood up from the couch and Arjun wore his sunglass being done with his questions.

"Thik hai. Abhi ke liye hum chalte hain dubara jarurat hogi toh aapko contact karenge."

"Ek min sir kya mai aap logon ke sath chal sakti hun? Mai jaake school me baat karungi."

Riya sighed at how desperate she sounded before speaking up.

"Dekhiye mam abhi tak kuch confirm nahi hua hai, Ashish sach me school se gayab hue hain ya kahin aur se.

School ne abhi tak koi officially complain nahi di hai , agar aese me aap jaake kuch bolengi ho sakta hai baat bigad jaaye aur Ashish ki jaan ko khatra bhi ho sakta hai.

Issliye aap thoda wait kijiye hum aapko jald hi contact karenge."

Riya assured her , and then they both walked out of the house.

"Gaadi ki chabi do."

Arjun said once after they neared the vehicle.

"Sir mai chalati hun."

She offered.

"Gaadi ki chabi."

He repeated extending his hand towards her, thus she put the key on his hand following him quietly.

Riya idly took the passenger's seat while he obtained the driver seat and started driving away.

The journey was mostly silent and Riya fell asleep unknowingly until the car halted abruptly and she forced her eyes open only to find Arjun unblocking his seat belt.

Confused she looked ahead then to her left and found they have stopped near a dhaba on the roadside.

"Hum yahan kyun ruke hain.?"

She asked in a low voice rubbing her eyes off.

"Lunch ke liye."

Came Arjun's quick answer.

"Per mujhe nahi khana hai si..."

Before she could complete Arjun interrupted her.

"Mujhe bhukh lagi hai."

And Arjun got off the car walking towards the dhaba leaving Riya with no option but following him.

Him being hungry was understandable since it was past the lunch hour and all they had was water in the car but what she didn't expect was him to stop by a dhaba instead of anywhere else.

Arjun sat on a nearby bench after ordering food , while she took a close look at the surroundings before taking a seat across his bench with a small table in the middle.

"Aapko ye jagah thoda unhygienic nahi lag raha sir.?"

Riya asked after a few second of silence, while looking over people at other benches.

"Bhukh mitane ke liye hygiene ki nahi Khane ki jarurat hoti hai Riya."

He gave her a blank look , just when a man came with their ordered food.

"Mera rehne dijiye. Mujhe kuch khas bhukh nahi hai."

Riya shook her head both at the Arjun and the man who paused himself from serving her.

Arjun motioned the man to serve the plate on her side ignoring her resistance and once after the man was done with serving Arjun started eating from his plate.

Riya kept mum at his stubbornness but didn't touch her plate either.

She took a glance at dusty the whole area was then at Arjun who was eating quietly.

She couldn't understand how come he was eating so peacefully in an area full of dust , unhygienic without any botherance and there she was wondering if he would fall ill after eating in such a place.

She kept staring at how he dipped a morsel of roti in the paneer curry savoring it in his mouth and suddenly she had the urge to taste the food wondering if it was that good.

Hesitating a little she tore a small piece of roti from her plate and dept it in the curry slowly tasting it and surprisingly it tasted good to her.

Arjun uppered his lashes a little watching her eating then focused back on his plate without uttering a word.

Once after they were done with lunch Arjun drove the car with Riya beside him checking messages from her teammates.

"Ayesha ka message hai , school me ab tak usse ek store room aur 2 labs jo use nahi ho rahe hain , band hai unke bare me pata chala hai."

She read out a message aloud.

"Ayesha ko kaho najar rakhe, agar Ashish ab tak school me hai toh kisi ek room me hoga zinda ya murda."

Arjun murmured.

"Murda hoga toh Neha ki kya halath hogi jaan ke."

Riya sighed.

"Mujhe kuch jaanna tha.

Ladkiyan generally apne ghar ko sajane ke liye kya kya rakhti hain.?"

Arjun asked ,causing Riya's head to whip at him in surprise.

"Ji.?"

"Baakiyon ki baat chhodo tum apne ghar ke hall me kya kya rakhti ho decoration ke liye.?"

Arjun sounded serious , thus she started thinking over.

"Mai... vase , flowers, showpieces.?"

She looked at him hoping that answered his curiousness.

"Aur.?"

He prompted.

"Umm Meri, family aur ETF ki photo frames, painting.

Per sir aap ye kyun puch rahe hain.?"

She asked.

"Jab mai Neha ka ghar dekh raha tha tab mujhe strangely kuch bhi aesa nahi dikha jisme koi personal touch ho. 8 saal ki relationship hai aur Ashish Neha ki ek bhi photoframe nahi dikha mujhe , na Neha ke ghar me na Ashish ke ghar me.

Neha uss ghar me 1 saal se reh rahi hai aur hall me ek bhi decoration ki chiz nahi thi, jabki ladkiyan 1 din me hi ghar ko chizon se bhar deti hai."

Arjun breathed in a go, earning a blank look from her.

"uske apne ghar se koi attachment ni hoga ya phir ghar change karne wali hogi.

aur rahi photoframe ki baat toh dono ne hi apne apne ghar me nahi bataya hai toh ho sakta hai issliye unhone koi photos nahi rakhi ho ghar me."

Riya mumbled slowly , hence Arjun fell silent contemplating over her words.

Tbc.

stay tuned.

Arjun is a stone. He's not a person. Maybe even a sociopath. He don't care people gets hurt or not. Man rakhna choro he don't even bother to feel for others. As if that will hurt his masculinity or his non existent heart.

It's been probably years with the team. He can't bother to stay at a party, usme v isko attitude dikhana hai and yell at a poor girl who just tried to make everyone happy. It's not like he can't play nice - there was no need to even entertain Rathores mother. He did cause he wanted to. But his mental block comes when it's his team.

And the thing is his team likes him. Cares too much. They help with cases and goes in field. Will shield him if there is a gun fight. But dude deserve nothing. He will berate that why they took bullet for him, but he won't think why they did. And to his pov he's right, no expectations only formality right. But humans are like that, silly humans start to care for dogs and animals after few moments. Ye to insaan hai

Basically arjun deserves nothing. He's not a human and everyone is just wasting their time. Riya actually is quite realistic. I mean she will confess and this stone will throw her words on her face, why take that humiliation? Let Arjun stay in his delusional world of i me myself. People will move on and be happy but he will always be resting bitx face. Let him suffer

haha let's see what we can do about the stone

Riya is the best lmao doing her job and not giving much bhao to jun other than answering his question

If she don't like a unhygienic place Arjun ordering on behalf of her seriously... Arre Bhai sealed water and maybe biscuit de dete. Still a lot to learn about her 🥰 bandi ne kha bhi liya. Idk love or hunger 🤣
