Friends,
"Some Untold and Unseen moments of Arjun, apart from solving cases...(the way I imagined) and his life without Roshni"
The Beginning ...
===============================
He is sitting in the balcony, having his cutting chai (this the forth cup in last 2 hours; He came late last night, maybe it was 3 on the clock when He arrived, without even changing he just got in the fresh-room, put some splashes of water on his face, made his "Super chai" and came here & sat). He is lost in deep thought, sleepless night (now that's part of his everyday life) remembering every detail again and again, as if his mind is stuck on the same track which kept on playing endlessly. He decided not to go to work the next morning, though this is very unlikely of him...not going at work, (He is very conscious abt his duty, he never take breaks until the job is done, and also he made a promise to himself that he won't rest until and unless he finds the murderer...) on this day - only - he need to be on his own, spending the day without even knowing what to do exactly, yet not involving himself in solving any case, at least not on this day! So, He decided, first thing he would do in the morning is - He'll buy some flowers. (Though he is allergic to flowers) but for Her ... He'll get some Red & White Roses (Roshni loves Flowers, specially the Red and white ones) he thinks. And later he may visit the school (Where Roshni was a mentor) and spend some time with the kids, watch them doing paintings and all... and after that - well after that, He's not sure yet! Again he starts feeling blank... this is the first year without Roshni - He'll be celebrating her Birthday! (Roshni is Arjun's dead wife, and today is her birthday)
Thoughts are roaming in his mind, he realizes the sun is about to rise, birds are chirping, sweet breeze is blowing - he could feel it on his face, he closes his eyes and takes a deep breathe, then suddenly Arjun turns to get back in his room (Blue Jeans, Black shirt - half unbutton, revealing his bare chest, untidy hair) he took the kettle and the cup, got back to the kitchen, washes those and back in his bedroom. Suddenly he looks at himself in the mirror, put a hand on his cheek as he looks and think he needs a shave - he is a catastrophe (Roshni speaks in his head, like always) So he gets in the washroom to get a shave, then takes a cold shower, got fresh, wears his white shirt with dark navy denim, combs his hair with his hands and wears the band back on his arm (somehow it became permanent and he wears it all the time, to hide the cut with her name tattooed under it). Thinks of making himself another cup of chai, but then changes his mind and decides to take it outside. So he gets his shoes and takes the key from the drawer (Today He wishes to ride on his bike and not the car) and went downstairs. Uncover his bike, he put on his helmet and ride it. With a hard dry roar the bike started and Arjun stormed out of his house.
****************************
He's been riding for hours now, crossing roads after roads, going aimlessly - and finally finds himself in a highway. He is feeling suffocated somehow ... so he pulls up the helmet shade, and let the breeze touches his face. But as he is speeding up the breeze is cutting sharp on his face, he feels his eyes got teary. So he stops by the road at a halt. Wipes his eyes with the back of his palm. Took off the helmet, and looks around. It's not that busy around. Then he saw a tea stall few steps away. So he parked the bike by the slope of the road and asked for a cutting chai. As the chaivala handed him the little glass, he took his first sip and looked up in the sky. It started to get cloudy, it may rain - he thinks. (These days it's raining often, though in the busy Mumbai it can hardly effect anyone.) So he finishes the tea and pays the man. Then gets back to his bike, starts it and take a round to go back to his home. On his way he stops at a flower shop, bought 5 bouquets of Red and White roses packed them in a box and put it on the back of his bike. When he is almost there on the road to his house, it started raining. So he sped up a little and get in the parking lot before the rain could catch him. He took the bouquets with him back to his home and straight to the kitchen. He unties the bouquets and put them all in 5 different vases and put them in different corners of his rooms. And he put one in front of Roshni's photo frame in the living room. He stares at her photo, gives a plain smile and wishes her "Happy Birthday Roshni, ... Hope you like them" (He points at the flowers) and then touches her photo as if touching her face with his hand (Already he can sense the lump in his throat, the silence is screaming even louder, but he forced a smile to stop the tears to fall) and leaves the room.
**********************
Its 3 pm already, (Arjun looks at his watch as he got up from his couch)
He's not feeling hungry but he must eat. So He decides again to have his lunch outside and after that he will visit the school. So he gets fresh a bit and leaves the house. This time in his car, on his way he ate some light food and bought some color kits for the children in the school. Finally he reaches the school ground (and got lost in thought again, as it started reminding him of the days when he used to pick Roshni up from her work, or gave her ride on his bike to her school ... and so on). Finally he took the gifts and enters the school. There he met the children from Roshni's class, gave them the gifts... one of Roshni's student (She grew up in these times already) came to Arjun and handed him a painting where she drew a lady with flowers in her hands, smiling... with a line written beneath the picture says "I miss u Teacher" - as Arjun saw it he sat down on his knee and gave the girl a hug and thanked her. Then he folded the drawing paper in his hand and left the place.
****************************
5pm (Back in the ETF Headquarters)
All the members are in there discussion room, on their respected seats, except Arjun... (Some are chatting with one another, someone is busy in his laptop as usual, someone's lost in page3... and so on) Suddenly Rathod's phone rang, so everyone shuts up and stops doing what so ever they were doing.
Rathod hung up and explained everyone what had happened. Then he asked Shree (as suddenly he feels the absence of Arjun);
Rathod: "Shree?"
Shree: "Yes, Sir?!"
Rathod: "Rawte ko phone lagao and tell him this is an emergency!"
Shree: "But Sir, Arjun Sir ne toh aaj kaha tha ki unhe hum disturb na kare..."
Rathod: "Yaha humhe chuttiya manane ki liye bheja nehi gaya hai, just call him and say this is an order! (He spat)"
But Shree was feeling hesitant, so Rathod decides to call by himself. As he Dials...
*********************************
(Back to Rawte residence)
Arjun was sitting in the dark, on the couch holding the drawing that little girl gave him. As his cell rang, he turns the light on.
Arjun: "Hello?" (He answered it without even looking at it)
Rathod: "Rawte, this is an emergency, adhe ghante mein office pohcho"
Arjun: "Not now Sam!" (as he called him in this name, his voice shook)
On the other side of the phone Sameer felt a cold shriek just got him all of a sudden! He got confused and his voice soften automatically. He went out of the room to speak to his best friend alone.
Rathod: "Rawte, are you alright?"
Arjun: "Yeah I'm fine,
Rathod tries his best to control his voice and get back to normal, yet his plain reply made Sameer confused and more intense. (So he simply said) - "I'm coming."
Then he hung up again, gets back to the cabin, orders the rest of the member to go and check the spot where the incident took place, and said he'll be back with Rawte.
So he drove one of the SUV to get to Arjun, as soon as possible.
