Part 2
That night Arjun went home and stood
before the wall that held Roshni's photo. He touched her face, her eyes, her
nose, her lips, wishing she was still here. He sighed and went to sit on the
recliner. He leaned back and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes and saw Roshni
standing in front of him. "Arjun!" she called. Arjun was shocked. "Roshni," he
started, "Roshni tum hi ho na?" he asked her. "haan Arjun. Main hi hoon. Aur
main tumse kuch kehna chahti hoon Arjun. Please Arjun meri maut ka badlaa lo
osse. Humaari judai ka kaaran hai vo Arjun. Maar daalo ose." "main tumhe insaaf
dilaaunga Roshni. Main ose zinda nahi chodunga. Tumhari maut ka badla main
loonga." Roshni smiled. She came forward and put her hand on arjun's cheek.
Arjun tilted his head to cherish her touch. "Ab mujhe jana hai Arjun." "Roshni
mat jao. Mujhe phir se chod kar mat jao Roshni." "main tumhe chod kar kabhi
nahi jaongi Arjun. Main tumhe kabhi akela nahi chodoongi." Arjun looked up and
saw that it was not Roshni he was talking to. It was Riya. "I love you, Arjun."
"I love you too, Riya." Suddenly, Riya screamed. Arjun saw her falling into a
deep pit. "Riyaaa!" he screamed and tried to reach out for her but there was
no answer in return. Arjun woke up with a start. He realised he was in the
familiar surroundings of his bedroom, only he was on the recliner.
'Ye kya tha?' Arjun thought to
himself. 'Riya? Nahi ye ek sapna tha. Aur vo Riya nahi Roshni thi", he tried to
convince himself. He leaned back only to hear the sound of his alarm going off
on his mobile phone. He picked it up and turned it off. He saw the time. It was
7 o'clock. He got up and got dressed for his morning jog. when he came back, he
quickly got dressed. He was feeling very restless. He started the ETF SUV and
reached the ETF headquarters. When he went up, he saw that no one was there. He
checked the time. It was 8:30. He had reached half-an-hour early. He went and
sat down in the conference room but then started to walk around in the room. He
was feeling very restless. Suddenly, he heard the main door open. He looked out
of the room and saw that it was Riya. He took out his phone and checked the
time. It was still 8:40. 'ye Riya itni jaldi kyun aayi hai?' he wondered. He
was about to ask her but stopped when her phone rang. She briefly looked at the
caller ID and then picked it up. "Tum mujhe baar baar phone kyun kar rahe ho?
Kya chahiye hai tumhe? Maine tumse kaha na, ab sab kuch khatam ho gya hai. Aur
ab kabhi bhi mujhe dubara call mat karna. Samjhe tum!" she yelled into the
phone.
Arjun stepped back into the
conference room and stopped, hearing through the door. "main tumse pyaar karti
THI! Magar vo pyaar kal raat hi khatam ho gya tha jab tumne mujh pe cheat kiya
tha. Ab please! Mujhe dubara kabhi phone mat karna. Mr Aditya Gupta, good-bye."
He heard the footsteps coming closer and he quickly retreated back to his seat
and picked up the first file on the desk. Riya came in and saw Arjun. Her expression
showed her surprise and shock. She thought about her little outburst a moment
earlier. She hoped that he hadn't paid any attention, unaware of the fact that
he had heard everything and was currently replaying the whole conversation in
his head. "Good morning Sir!" Riya said. "Good morning Riya." Arjun pretended
to be deeply lost in the file. He saw Riya keep her bag on the table. Just then,
Rathode entered the room followed by Riya, Shree and Chotu. All of them settled
down and Arjun asked Rathode if the agents had found anything or not. Before Rathode
could reply, his phone rang. "Good morning sir! yes sir…. hum sab abhi nikalte
hain sir…. yes. Thank you sir! jai hind sir!" Rathode finishes talking and
keeps his phone into his front pocket. "Team, get ready. Sikandar ka pta chal chukka
hai!"
