Chapter-1
*flashback*
"hume ek ladki ki laash mili toh hai sir" said a police constable to arjun.
"toh kya vo…?" asked arjun.
"sir uss laash ko dekh ke pehchaana mushkil hai ki kiski hai, lekin kisi ladki ki hi hai, aur usne saree pehni hui thi shaayad, laal rang ki."
"haan…riya ne bhi…..lekin….aur kuch pata chala?" asked a sad arjun.
"ye mila hai laash ke paas" the constable handed over a gift pack to arjun which was found near the dead body.
"oh no!"
*flashback ends*
(arjun was sitting on his armchair and reading a book. He had gone into the flashback all of a sudden. He had always thought that riya was a trouble magnet, a coward, a novice. He had fought with her soo many times. But that day changed his life forever. Even though he was so rude to her, even though he warned her to stay away from him, she accepted that she had fallen for him.)
*flashback*
Arjun and riya were going to Shmara's marriage. They were alone in the car and riya was carrying her gift. The others had already reached the place but only arjun and riya were left. Arjun had had a fight with riya that day and they were hardly talking to each other. Arjun had told her to stay away from his life as his life was not meant to make friends and live it to the fullest but it was meant to save other's lives and protect the people. He had told her that he doesn't care about himself and the only thing which matters to him is his work. Riya was almost crying.
"aapke liye aapki zindagi koi maaine nahi rakhti sir?" she asked.
"nahi." He answered rudely.
"aur aapke apno ke liye?"
"mere iss duniya me koi nahi hai riya, mere parents toh bachpan hi mujhse door chale gaye, phir mere saath hamesha mera kaam raha hai….sirf kaam.."
"aap sirf apne kaam se pyaar karte hain? Hain na? khud se bhi nahi?"
"sahi kaha tumne. Maine aaj tak kisi aur se pyaar nahi kiya. Khud se bhi nahi"
Riya was sad. She was supposed to be happy as her sister was getting married. But she was sad due to whatever was happening with her life. The person whom she has hated the most had become her love. It was enough and she was not able to take it any more. she was not able to control her emotions now. She loved him so much but he neither cared about her nor about himself.
"aap bhale hi apne aap se bhi pyaar na karte ho sir, but iss duniya me aise log bhi hai jo apne aap se zyaada aapse pyaar karte hain." She said it with tears in her eyes.
Arjun looked at her in confusion.
"aap sikandar se akele ladne chale gaye the, agar aapko kuch ho jaata toh aap toh chale jaate, parr mera kya hota?" a tear fell from her big eyes.
Arjun couldn't believe what he had heard. He was constantly looking at her. she was looking so innocent in that red saree with very less make up and sitting like a child with the gift which she was carrying for Shmara. Arjun couldn't take his eyes off her.
There was moment of silence and then……the car hit a tree and there was a "khaaee" just at that place. The riya was sitting on the other side, the hit was so strong that riya's side door opened apart and she fell out of the car into the "khaee".
"riyaaa……." Arjun screamed but he couldn't do anything to save her. he came out of the car. He there was no chance of her survival. He felt like crying. He called the police and then later after searching they found a deadbody in bad condition and declared that it was riya.
Arjun was feeling helpless. He didn't even look at the dead body. The police placed the body near his car and asked where they are supposed to take it. Arjun had no choice. He had to go to Shmara's marriage and tell them the bad news about riya. but he thought of calling rathore first.
Shree and samara's marriage had already taken place. They waited a lot for arjun and riya but they had to take the pheras on time so they completed everything without arjun and riya. but samara was not ready to do the 'bidaai ki rasam' without riya. so all were sitting in the marriage hall and waiting for them to come. Rathore had got a call from arjun so he had left and he was not there. Shree and samara were sitting on the chairs and samara was very angry.
"yaar….chinta matt karr..aa jayenge vo log." Shree tried to calm her down.
"aana hota toh pehle aate na? riya di itni der se kya karne lagi? Unhone poori shaadi miss karr di…." Said samara angrily.
"ofo! Ho jaata hai aisa kabhi-kabhi..vo bass aati hi hogi." Said shree.
"ek toh itni bhaari dress and gehne pehen ke I am feeling so sick. And inn logo ne itna saara makeup kiya hai na!" she said.
"ha ha ha…..tumne pehli baar lehenga pehna hai na, tum bhi na sam…." Said shree….
They suddenly heard a voice of a car and big bus.
"vo log aa aye shaayad" said samara with a lightened face.
She pulled her lehenga up a little with her hands drenched with henna and full of bangles and she ran outside with the sounds of her anklet echoing all over the passage. Shree went behind her.
As soon as she reached outside, she saw arjun standing with a sad face. She guessed something was wrong. She went to him.
"sir…riya di kaha hai?" she asked with confused face.
Arjun did not answer.
Tears of fear welled up in her eyes and shree was stunned. She held arjun's shirt with her hands and grabbed it tightly.
"kaha hai riya di????" she shouted loudly….
Arjun put his face down and with a heavy heart he looked back. Samara looked back where rathore was standing with a dead body and crying. She left arjun and went to rathore.
"kya hua bhaiya? Riya di kaha hai? aur ye kiski body le ke aa gaye hain aap? Aaj bhi koi case hai kya?" she said with trembling voice and tears.
"ye------ye---ye ri—riya hai…." said rathore who was crying very badly for his sister.
Shree was shocked. He sat on his knees down on the ground. He couldn't belive in all this.
"nahi……nahi…..plzz….nooo" shouted samara….
Arjun went to her.
"ye riya hai samara…I am sorry mai use nahi bacha saka…." Said arjun with a trembling voice.
"nahiii…riya diii……..aisa nahi ho sakta……plzz nooo…..!!!!!" she started crying.
*flashback ends*
(a tear rolled down arjun's cheek as he thought of that day. He never thought he would feel so bad for someone some day.)
Arjun- aaj 3 mahine ho gaye hai uss din ko. Pata nahi samara kaisi hogi?
(after that day, samara has never attended ETF, and now ETF was being shifted to Delhi so every1 was going to shift to Delhi now.)
Arjun- mujhe jaake samara se milna hoga.
(he got up and took his car)
(he reached a flat where there was a nameplate. A big 'S' was written on it, on top, the S was followed by 'hreekant' which made it 'Shreekant' and down, the S was followed by 'mara' which made it Samara and then this was followed by another big S and 'en' which made it 'Sen')
(arjun rang the door bell. A girl opened the door. She was wearing a plane yellow salvaar suit. She had worn a shawl. Her eyes were looking dark. She had developed dark circles due to lack of sleep. Her hair was hanging on one side and was not done up properly but her dark red sindoor was shining. She had worn no jewelery except her mangalsutra . She had no expression on her face.)
Arjun- samara?? Kaisi ho?
Samara- a-arjun sir….(her voice shaking)…aap? Aiye..
(without any expression she showed him way to the dinning room. Arjun looked at her with pity and he sat on the sofa.)
Samara- mai shree ko bulaati hoon. Aur chai leke aati hoon.(she said with a plane and expressionless face and moved inside)
(arjun sat there and recalled how samara used to be before.)
*flashback*
Arjun rang rathore's house door bell. A girl wearing a loose top and shorts with her hairs open in the latest style, her body had all latest accessories. A smile crept on her face on seeing arjun.
"arjun sir…OMG???? Aapp?????? Oh gawwddd…..u are looking so hot" said the girl,samara.
Arjun smiled and accepted the compliment.
"aap andar aana chahte hai na? but pehle give me a hug and promise me ki andar aake apni adaao se maaroge nahi mujhe aap" she said teasingly.
Arjun laughed and gave her a hug.
"promise dear nahi maroonga" he laughed.
"come in" she said with a beautiful smile.
*flashback ends*
(shree came out. He was in his usual dress)
Shree(sitting on the sofa with a smile)- hi sir….aap yaha achanak?
Arjun- haan shree..maine socha samara se mil loon…kaafi din ho gaye.
Shree-oh..
Arjun- kaisi hai vo?
Shree- vaisi hi hai sir. (he said sadly) aaj teen mahino me maine, aapne,chotu ne, rahtore sir ne, sabne accept karr liya hai riya ki death ko. But samara…..vo toh….
(he looks at her, she was in the kitchen making tea)
Arjun- vo toh kya?
Shree- riya toh chali gayi sir, but apne saath meri samara ko bhi le gayi. Meri samara pata nahi kaha chali gayi.
Arjun- ya usne tumse baat ki?
Shree- baat toh roz karti hai sir, but bohot kam. Aur samara baat karti hai, MERI samara nahi….MERI samara ne toh kab se mujhse baat nahi kiya.
Arjun- aaj bhi shock me hai vo….
Shree- poora din baith ke apne haatho ko dekhti rehti hai jisme riya ne mehendi lagai thi. Aur raat bhar khidki se bahar taaro ko dekhti rehti hai.
(arjun was feeling very bad. Samara came and kept the tea for the two of them)
Arjun- samara….mere special glass me chai nahi laaya tumne?(he tried to smile)
Samara- sir, vo glass yaha nahi hai, bhaiya ke ghar pe tha.
(she said this with a plane face and went to her room)
Arjun- shree, tumhe koi problem toh nahi hai agar mai jaake samara se kuch der baat karr loon.
Shree- mujhe kya problem hogi sir….aap bass meri samara ko vaapas le aaiye!
(arjun goes to her room, she was sitting on the bed. Arjun sat next to her)
Arjun- samara…..tum aisa kyu karr rahi ho?abhi riya tumhe dekh ke kitni dukhi hogi….hai na?
(samara didn't answer)
Arjun- dekho sam…mere liye tum ek aisi ladki rahi ho, jo strength ko represent karti ho….aur tum hi itni weak padd gayi?
Samara- mere liye riya di ek aisi ladki thi, jo life ko represent karti thi, jab life hi nahi hai meri, toh mai strength kaha se laaon? Mai nahi jee sakti unke bina.
(samara got up and began to go)
Arjun- (closing his eyes)- riya zinda hai sam…
(samara looked back)
("kisi ko pata nahi chalna chahiye……khud use bhi nahi"
These words went through arjun's head)
Sam- matlab?
Arjun- ah….mera….mera matlab hai ki….vo aaj bhi humaare dil me,yaado me toh zinda hai na?
(samara turned back and went away)
(arjun sat there helplessly)
PRECAP:-
(shree unpacking the things in his new house in delhi. Samara comes to his room)
Sam- shree….
Shree- kya hua samara? Ho gayi shopping?
Sam- shree, mujhe mall me riya di dikhi…vo zinda hai shree…
