On the other hand Rathore bina formals mein change kiye hi nikal jaata hai. Woh apni car mein baithne waala hai ki...
Rathore: Damnit! Ye puncture kaise ho gaya? WATCHMAN!!!
Watchman bhaag kar aata hai: ha saab?
Rathore: puncture kaise hua?
Watchman dekhta hai: pata nahi saab
Rathore frustrate hota hai. Woh gaadi ki chaabi use dekar tyre change karne ko kehta hai aur khud paidal nikal jaata hai. Bus top dur nahi tha, woh chal kar bhi 5 minute mein pahunch jaayega. Woh tezi se chalne lagta hai lekin ek baat use samaj mein nahi aa raha hai ki Arjun ko kaise pata ki Riya akeli is tarah travel kar rahi hai? Aur usne please kaha? Woh bhi use? Riya ke liye? Kyun? Kahi Riya use pyaar toh nahi kar baithi thi? Par kyun? Riya kyun aisa karegi? Woh Arjun ka asli chehra nahi jaanti, koi nahi jaanta, uske ilawa! aur woh Riya ko uski wajah se suffer nahi karne dega.
Dusri taraf Riya wait kar rahi hai ki achanak woh bhikari uthkar us par chaku se attack karne ki koshish karta hai. Riya shock mein peeche hat ti hai. Woh admi stumble hota hai. Riya recover hokar counter karti hai. Uska haath admi ke haath par force se aata hai aur chaku kahi jaa girta hai. Woh admi uska haath pakadkar twist karta hai. Riya uske knee par kick maarti hai. Woh neeche gir jaata hai.
Peechese(tensed): Riya?!!?
Riya distract hoti hai. Utne mein woh admi use dhaka de deta hai. Riya footpath ke edge par gir jaati hai. Uske sar par chot lagti hai.
Rathore bhaag kar waha aata hai. Use dekhkar woh admi apna kaam chodkar wahase bhaag jaata hai. Rathore uske peeche jaane ki koshish karta hai par fir uski nazar Riya par padti hai. Woh uske paas ja kar kneel karta hai
Rathore(tensed): Riya!! (uske face par pat karke) Riya aankhein kholo!! (uske sar par choti chot thi jisse khoon beh raha tha) Shit!!!
Ek taxi waha se pass hoti hai. Rathore immediately uthkar use rokta hai aur apna ID dikhata hai. Driver dar jaata hai aur jaisa woh kahe waisa karta hai. Rathore Riya ko lekar taxi mein litata hai.
Driver: saab woh madam ka purse
Rathore sidewalk par uska purse dekhta hai. Woh use uthakar apne saath rakh leta hai aur fir taxi mein baith jaata hai.
Driver: hospital chalu saab?
Rathore ha bolne hi waala hai ki Riya thoda shift hoti hai. Use realize hota hai ki uski chot gehri nahi thi. Bas shock ki wajah se behosh thi.
Rathore: nahi...River View apartment, Miller's road par aur jaldi!
Driver nod karke drive karna shuru karta hai. Rathore apna handkerchief nikal ke Riya ke wound par press karta hai. Kuch seconds mein bleeding band ho jaati hai.
Rathore mv "pata nahi ye humesha musibat mein kaise pad jaati hai? Abhi tak rejoin bhi nahi kiya aur serial killer se baal-baal bachi hai, pata nahi firse office join karegi tab kya hoga?
They reach the society in a few minutes. The Driver horns wildly for the gate to be opened. The watchman curses the latecomers as he wakes up. He opens the gate and lets the taxi inside. He follows it. Rathore steps out and picks up Riya in his arms. Though he knew where she lived he didn't know her address.
Rathore: Riya madam kaha rehti hai?
The watchman looks at him: A wing mein 15th floor, 1501
Rathore doesn't wait for more. He goes straight to her home. Somehow managing to remove the keys from her purse, he enters inside and takes Riya to the bedroom. He lays her softly on the bed and tries to search for the first kit.
Just as the taxi left, the watchman was closing the gate again when Arjun's car demanded to be let inside. The watchman glared at him and kept the gate open. He had become familiar with the car. He knew the man inside visited Riya from time to time. Probably at odd hours too, because he saw him more going out in the morning than coming in at night when he used to be asleep.
Arjun was too preoccupied to notice anything. He parked his car a little haphazardly and left straight to Riya's house hoping that Rathore had brought Riya home safe. He impatiently waited for the elevator to go up.
Rathore was still searching for the medical kit when the doorbell rang frantically. He guessed it must be Arjun and opened it albeit hesitantly.
Arjun came straight inside searching for Riya: Riya kaha hai?
Rathore: woh room mein behosh hai...
Arjun(shocked): BEHOSH?!!? What The Hell Do You Mean By Behosh?!?!
Rathore: She was attacked..
Arjun(angrily): Maine Tumhe Kis Liye Bheja Tha Rathore?!!? Taaki Woh Safe Rahe!! Lekin Tum Woh Bhi Nahi Kar Paaye?? Ya Fir Karna Hi Nahi Chahte The??
Rathore(angrily): Shut Up Rawte! Tum Kehna Kya Chahte Ho? Maine Jaan-Buchkar Riya Ko Chot Lagne Di? If It Has Escaped Your Notice Toh Tumhe Bata Du Ki Tumhare Ilawa Meri Team Ka Har Ek Member Mere Liye Mayine Rakhta Hai
Arjun; Mujhe Bhi Aisa Hi Lagta Tha, Isliye Tumhe Bheja Tha. Yeh Sochkar Ki Humara Rishta Chahe Jaisa Bhi Ho Tum Riya Ke Nainsaafi Nahi Karoge...
Rathore: Nainsaafi?!?! Aise Shabd Tumhare Muh Se Acha Nahi Lagte Rawte!!! Mujhe Nahi Pata Ki Tum Ab Kaunsa Khel, Khel Rahe Ho Lekin Ek Baat Yaad Rakhna (Threateningly) Main Riya Ko Tumhara Shikar Nahi Banne Dunga!! Chahe Uske Liye Mujhe Tumhari Chita Kyun Na Jalani Pade!!!
Arjun(firmly): Tum Hume Kabhi Alag Nahi Kar Paoge Rathore! Tumhe kya lagta hai? Tum use kuch bhi kahoge aur woh maan jaayegi? She loves me!
Rathore: yea? Well guess what? Your wife did too! Aur tumne use...(he balled his fists) Main Itihaas Nahi Dohraane Dunga Rawte! I Promise You! Aur Tumhe Tumhare Kiye Ki Saza Bhi Dilwa Kar Rahunga!!
Arjun: jo ukhadna hai ukhad lo! Riya kabhi mujhse dur nahi jaayegi!!!
Rathore: jab use tumhari sachayi pata chalegi toh woh khud tumhe apni zindgi se baahar fek degi! Aur Main Use Sachayi Dikha Kar Rahunga! Yeh Mera Vaada Hai!!!
Saying so, he stormed out of the house. Arjun kept glaring in his direction after he left. Even he didn't why he suddenly got so confident about his and Riya's relationship. Was it really confidence? Or fear? He couldn't tell but he had more important things at hand at the moment.
Arjun Riya ke room mein jaata hai. waha Riya bed par leti hai. uske sar par choti chot hai lekin khoon nahi beh raha tha. woh Kitchen main jaa kar first box lekar aata hai aur Riya ki chot par davai laga kar us par band aid lagata hai. fir us par paani chidhak kar use uthane ki koshish karta hai.
Arjun: Riya...Riya aankhein kholo
Riya disturb hokar squint karti hai. tab jaakar Arjun ki jaan mein jaan aati hai. Riya dheerese apni aankhein kholti hai.
Riya: Arjun sir? (woh aaspaas dekhti hai) main ghar mein kaise?...aur...aur Rathore sir?
Arjun: Rathore tumhe le aaya...khair chodo woh sab, tum theek hona?
Riya smile karti hai: ha main bilcul theek hun, choti si toh chot hai
Arjun(sarcastically): ha isliye behosh ho gayi
Riya: are jaan kar thodi hui? Ab ho gayi toh usme meri kya galti?
Arjun use glare karta hai. Riya mv "oops!
Arjun: Galti? Kya Zaroorat Thi Us Killer Ke Hone Ke Bavjud Itni Raat Ko Public Transport Use Karne Ki?
Riya: are main bach jaati lekin (Rathore ka naam na lekar) woh end moment par distract ho gayi toh (innocently) usne mujhe gira diya
Arjun: Agar Zyaada Lag Jaati Toh? Tumhe Apni Koi Fikar Hai Ya Nahi? Had Hoti Hai Laparwahi Ki Riya!! Kaun Ladte-Ladte Beech Mein Baakhi Ki Cheezon Par Dhyaan Dekar Distract Hota Hai?
Riya: ab main theek hun na toh ab kyun daant rahe hai aap?
Arjun kisi tarah khud ko control karne ki koshish karta hai: theek ho? Riya...tumhe ye pata hai ki serial killer ghum raha hai lekin kya Tumhe Ye Pata Hai Ki Woh Ladkiyon Ke Saath Kya Karta Hai?
Riya: kya karta hai matlab? sirf khoon hi karta haina?
Arjun(victims ki body uski aankhon ke saamne flash hoti): JI NAHI!! Woh pet mein chaaku maarne ke baad...(woh pause leta hai yeh sochkar ki Riya traumatize ho jaayegi lekin fir use yaad aata hai ki woh marte-marte bachi) uske intestine ko nikal deta hai (Riya use horrified look deti hai) aur fir jab woh mar rahi hoti hai toh unhi ke saamne uske organs ko kha jaata hai aur...
Riya tightly aankhein aur kaan band karke chillati hai: NAHIII!!!! YUCKK!!!!!
Lekin Arjun continue karta hai: aur fir uske marne ke baad uske baakhi ke organs ko..
Riya(disgusted): Arjun sir please!!!! Mujhe torture mat karo...please!!!
Arjun disbelief mein sar hilata hai. use Riya ko dekhkar bura lagta hai par kya kare? Woh uski carelessness ko lekar gussa tha. Riya abhi bhi waise hi baithi hai. Arjun sigh karke use hug karta hai. Riya bhi tightly use hug karti hai lekin uski aankhein abhi bhi band hai. woh us sabko imagine tak nahi kar paa rahi hai aur woh sab kuch uske saath ho sakta tha is soch se use ghin ho rahi hai.
Riya: sorry...aage se dhyaan rakhungi, promise
Arjun: it's okay
Riya: aap bahot dar gaye the na?
Arjun baat ko taal kar ulta jawab deta hai: jitna tumhe sun kar dar lag raha tha utna toh koi victim bhi nahi dari hogi
Riya: Arjun sir!!
Arjun: bolo
Riya: aap...aap...(tired) kuch nahi! Mujhe neend aa rahi hai
Arjun: toh so jao
Riya ko laga tha ki shayad woh use rokega but...no such luck. Instead Arjun khud use lita kar blanket se cover karta hai.
Arjun: good night! Main jaa raha hun, report aa jaaye toh bata dena
Aur bina Riya ka jawaab sune waha se chala jaata hai. Riya use khunas se dekhti rehti hai mv "mujhse zyaada inhe mere reports ki padi hai..huh! ye khadoos ke khadoos hi rahenge!!
Arjun securely uske flat ka darwaaza band karke chala jaata hai.
Agle din-
Riya jaldi uthkar ready ho jaati hai mv "us admi ke baare mein kisi na kisi tarah pata karna padega par kaise?...Arjun sir ya Rathore sir toh kuch batayenge nahi fir...hmm
Tabhi doorbell bajti hai. Riya time dekhti hai mv "doodhwaala hoga! woh jaa kar darwaaza kholti hai lekin surprisingly doodhwaala ke saath-saath Arjun bhi darwaaze ki frame par lean hokar khada hai. doodhwaala uske opposite flat ki ghanti bhi bajata hai.
Riya: aap..
Doodhwaala: aaj kitna?
Riya apna focus change karti hai: are bhaiya roz aadha litre hi toh hai...ek minute
Woh andar jaa kar patila laati hai aur doodhwaala ko deti hai
Sheetal(neighbour): good morning Riya...(confused) ye kaun hai?
Riya(haath pakadkar): ye? Mere boss-cum-boyfriend-cum hone waale pati...three in one
Sheetal(amused): three in one?
Riya wink karti hai: are toh kya karu? mehengayi ka zamana hai
Sheetal: hmm...achi bachat hai waise bhi aaj kal mehengayi kitni bad gayi hai
Arjun un dono ko blank look deta hai.
Riya(dramatically): ha toh...pata hai kal main sabzi khareedne gayi thi toh pata hai, ek nimboo ke 8 rupay!!
Sheetal(shocked): hey bhagwan! 8 rupay?!?! Pichle hafte toh 5 rupay ka ek tha
Riya: are bullshit! 10 ke 4 aate the!! Aur ab dekho 8 rupay ka ek!!
Doodhwaala: are baap re! humare gaav mein toh 1.5 rupay ka ek nimboo milta hai
Sheetal(surprised): 1.5 rupay...iska matlab 10 ke 6?
Doodhwaala: 10 ke 8!
Riya: hum na ek kaam karte hai bhaiya...saara borya bistra baandh kar aapke gaav hi aa jaate hai
Sheetal: sach mein, kam se kam...
Uska pati andar se chillata hai: Sheetal chai bana rahi ho ya baahar se mangwau?
Sheetal eyes roll karti hai: uff! Aa rahi hu...do minute ka bhi sabar nahi hai, bye Riya
Riya: bye! (Arjun ko dekhkar) are aap abhi tak aise kyun khade hai? andar aayiye na
Dono andar aate hai. darwaaza band hote hi Arjun uska haath pakadta hai
Arjun: kya tha ye?
Riya: kya?
Arjun: main tumhe sabzi lagta hun jo tum discount karne ke chakkar mein utha laayi?
Riya(nervously): uh...main aapke liye na, fresh doodh ki chai banati hun, aap baithiye
Aur Arjun reaction de usse pehle bhaag jaati hai. Arjun disbelief mein sar hilata hai aur baahar balcony mein jhule par Riya ka wait karta hai. kuch pal mein Riya apni un dono ke mugs lekar aati hai.
Arjun: tumhari chot kaisi hai ab?
Riya: kal bhi theek thi aur aaj bhi theek hai
Arjun: yeah, right
Riya: sach mein!!!
Arjun: tumne dressing change ki?
Riya: uh...kyun?
Arjun sigh karke apna cup table par rakhta hai aur bina koi jawab diye first-aid laane ke liye uthta hai. Riya achanak use hug karti hai.
Arjun(confused): kya hua?
Riya: woh...I'm sorry, kal raat faaltu mein maine aapke saath jhagda kiya
Arjun light smile deta hai: use jhagda kehte hai?
Riya: hmm
Arjun: apna khayal rakho Riyu please
Riya(surprised): kya kaha aapne?
Arjun: apna khayal rakho?
Riya: woh nahi, kya bulaya aapne mujhe?
Arjun: umm...woh... main kit lekar aata hun
Woh bina Riya ka jawab sune kitchen ki taraf chala jaata hai. Riya apne haath mein uska phone dekhkar smile karti hai. uska kaam ho gaya. Woh fatafat Arjun ke phone ka call log check karne lagti hai aur uske informers ke number apne phone mein message mein karti hai. fir send hote hi conversation ko delete karke phone ko jhule par aise rakh deti hai jaise uske baithne ki wajah se pocket se nikal gaya ho. Arjun ki aahat sunkar woh apna mug lekar normal act karti hai. Arjun uski bandage nikalkar davai laga deta hai. Chai peene ke baad Arjun jaane ke liye uthta hai.
Arjun: khayal rakhna
Riya: ha (Woh jaa raha hai ki) Arjun sir, aapka phone
Arjun mudta hai. Riya jhule par se phone lekar Arjun ko deti hai
Arjun(confused): are ye kaise gir gaya?
Riya: mujhe nahi pata
Arjun(amused): khud se pucha Riya, tumhe nahi
Riya: aapko baatein karne se allergy hai toh kya karu? mujhe toh kuch na kuch bolna padega na?
Arjun apna sar hilata hai: ok bye!
Riya: acha suniye
Arjun firse mudta hai: bolo
Riya(shyly): naam bahot cute tha
Arjun: confirmation ke liye shukriya...Riyu. aur wink karke nikal jaata hai.
Riya blush karti hai. woh uske peeche darwaaza band karke lock karti hai aur apne phone mein se Arjun ke khabriyon ke contacts dekhne lagti hai aur unki information dhundhne ke liye baithti hai
ETF office-
Shree: sir, humare pattern ke hissab se kal grant road ya Mumbai Central ke aaspaas khoon hona chahiye tha, lekin police ne patrolling ke waqt koi incident report nahi kiya
Ayesha: ha kahi aisa toh nahi hai ki usne apna pattern change kar diya ho?
Liza: nahi, serial killers apna pattern kabhi bhi change nahi karte. They hate it if they are forced to do that, par agar by chance aisa kuch ho toh bhi woh kisi na kisi tarah apne pattern ko maintain karne ki koshish karenge
Rathore: na usne pattern change ki hai aur na hi kal raat uneventful raha, maine uski shakal dekhi thi, sketch artist ko bula liya hai fir dekhte hai
Rathore ke statement se Arjun ke ilawa sab confuse hote hai
Ayesha: aapne shakal kaise dekhi?
Rathore: bas dekh li
Utne mein sketch artist aata hai, Rathore usse sketch banwa leta hai aur Shree use saare shehar ke police stations mein fax karwa deta hai. us admi ke liye red alert jaari ho jaati hai aur shaam tak woh bhi pakda jaata hai.
Rathore apne cabin mein jaa kar apne informer ko phone karta hai.
Other side: ha saab?
Rathore: kuch pata chala?
Admi: nahi saab...kuch pata nahi chala
Rathore: theek hai
Admi: saab?
Rathore: hm?
Admi: ek baat puchu?
Rathore: pucho
Admi: aap roz mujhe phone karte hai, main roz kehta hun ki mujhe kuch pata nahi chala toh fir aap itne saalon se kyun is sab ke peeche pade hai?
Rathore: tum nahi samjhoge. Aur phone kaat deta hai. mv "mujhe kuch bhi karke Arjun aur Riya ko alag karna hi hoga, main Riya ko Roshni nahi banne de sakta, lekin kaise samjhaunga Riya ko? Bina thos sabut woh kuch bhi nahi maanegi. (Woh apne chair par collapse hokar beeti yaadon mein ghum ho jaata hai) kyun kiya tumne aisa Arjun? sab kuch theek tha, kitne khush the hum teeno...(uski aankhein nam ho jaati hai) Kyun Arjun, kya kami thi tumhe? Sab kuch tha, fir bhi tumne... tumne Roshni ke pyaar aur meri dosti dono ko dhoka de diya...kyun?...
