THE RIYA MATHUR CASE

3. THE GAME OF TRUTH AND DARE.

" oK!! so bottle ka mouth jiske bhi taraf aayega use # apna ek secret batana hoga, jo aur kisiko na pata ho" Chitra spoke excitedly. 

Aneesh came back from his medical conference two days ago. The power of the entire sector including academy is gone. The corporation has informed that the meter box blasted so to change it approximately 2-3 hours will be required. 
Everybody is looking for emergency batteries, torches, lamps. Karan has informed everyone to gather on the terrace. 
The boys have made arrangements for a bonfire. Everybody comes on the terrace. Sid and Monu come together, they have made a plan to closely observe Aneesh.  

Karan is standing with faizi, stealing glances at Monu. While Monu and Sid are busy, trying to understand Aneesh. Someone whom they knew, has been deceiving them. If he really is doing all this then Monu and sid must stop him. 
after some time, Chitra stands on a table and claps loudly. Everybody turn their attention to her. 
" #power aane me kafi time lag jayega, to kyu na hum log # game khele. "
" sumanji batati hai, antakshari khelte hai" spoke sumanji. everbody did a big ' nahh'. Sumnaji pouted. 

" Truth and dare khelte hai, andheri raat aur niklegi sabki secret baat !!" sid replied. 
Everyone quickly gathered around the bonfire in a huge circle. Chitra picked up a beer bottle that was around, looking at which he remembered Sanjana, how they could openly talk and laugh with the beer under the clear night sky. His heart ached but he already promised himself and monu that he won't hurt anymore. Aneesh was sitting with bala and chitra exactly opposite to monami ans sid. Whereas Karan and faizi were sitting sideways. 

" mai bottle ghoomaoongi, and jiske upar bhi # bottle ka mooh aayega use koi dare karna hoga ya apna koi sabse# deep secret batana hoga" 
EVERYBODY READY???
YESSS!!!

bottle ghoomi ghoomi ghoomi....
" aur isi ke saath hamare pehle player hai.................FAIZI SIR"
woohooooo!!!
" ARE YAAR, chalo puch lo jo puchna hai" spoke an annoyed Faizi. 
" Faizi sir, aap duniya me sabse zyada kisse pyaar karte hai??'
" wo husn jise humne chua nahi aur wo jaam jo humne piya nahi" 
the girls blushed a little while Karan cringed. Monu and sid looked confused. 
" ok, ok next player hai( spin spin spin..) Sumanji" 
" pucho pucho, sumanji se jisko ju puchna hai puchlo' sumanji was excited.
" okiee, Sumanji se mai puchta hoo, aapki love marriage hui hai ya arrange marriage?" asked Aneesh. 
Sid and Monu were a little confused as to why he was asking about marriage. 
'' love marriage ho ya nah ho usse kya fark padta hai, marriage me love hona chahiye aur sumanji ke pati Rajeshji Sumanji se bhot pyaar karte hai'' sumanji giggled and blushed. 
" waise tumne ye sawaal kyu pucha, tumhe love marriage karni hai kya" sumanji asked Aneesh. 
" Karni to hai, par jisse karna chahta hoo use ab tak bataya nahi''  he replied while looking at monami who was looking through her phone. 
Karan fisted his hand( i know everyone really wants karan to punch Aneesh but.... ruko jara, sabr karo!!). 
" ye tum Monami ko dekh ke kyu keh rahe ho" Sumanji teased him while everybody made funny noises and Monami raised her head only to see everyone looking at her.

" monami, tumhara love marriage ke baare me kya khayal hai??" Aneesh asked Monami. 
" ooh!! is this a #proposal" Chitra Asked. 
Sid nudged Monami a little and she said" kyuki abhi tak meri baari nahi aayi hai to mai iss sawaal ka jawaab nahi doongi" and Aneesh was not satisfied. 
Karan however was jumping internally. Somehow, somewhere he was happy that Monami didn't answer the question. 
"okkk guys# next player hai( bottle spin) ..........MONAMI!!!" 
"chalo, ab uss sawaal ka jawaab do" sumanji said. 

" Nahi, monami ke liye humare pass ek sawaal hai...." Faizi volunteered while karan looked at him confused. 
" okk, kya puchna hai ??" monami replied. 
" tumhari life ka koi aisa raaz jo zamaane ko pata nah ho" asked Faizi. 
Sid immediately looked at Monu because he knew what the answer was gonna be. 

After a huge sigh, Monami started..
" Dus saal pehle meri ek friend thi, i mean humari ( while looking at Sid). kisi unfortunate reason ki wajah se ab wo iss duniya me nahi hai. Raaz ye hai ki sabko lagta hai usne Suicide commit ki thi lekin sirf hum jaante hai ki uska murder hua tha." 
She stopped and lowered her head. all the memories started flooding her head. 
She Sighed and looked up. Karan could see the pain in her eyes. It felt more like anger and regret. something he was very familiar with. 
" I know, Riya ke saath bhot bura hua tha. Uske incident ke baad college me sab log bhot darr gaye the...."Aneesh spoke. 
Monami was quietly listening until something that Aneesh said caught her attention...." khaskar jab uske papa ke bhi uski death ke kuch time pehle hi cancer se death hui thi. Bhot depressed thi bichari" his words made everyone sympathise the dead but Monami was shocked. 
Before he could speak any more, Monami asked " tumhe kaise pata uske papa ki death cancer se hui thi??" in a serious tone. Everyone was a little surprised because Monami didn't ask that question in a casual tone. 
She was about to stand up and  walk over to him but Sid held her down. Doing something like this could mess their plan. After a little silence he spoke, " wo uske funeral ke time college me uske liye memorial rakha tha.. tumhe kaise yaad hoga, tum to aayi hi nahi thi" in a low tone. But everyone could hear him. Before Monami could ask him further, the power came back. And everybody felt like they came out of some thriller movie episode. 
For 2 minutes everyone felt like, one wrong answer and Monami would kill Aneesh right there. 

Karan was also stunned. 
Sid pulled Monami up and dragged her out of that vibe. It was needed otherwise their plan really would have messed up. 

" kya kar rahi hai Monu. control!!" sid spoke.
" sid, Riya ke papa ki death cancer se hui thi, ye baat usne sirf mujhe batayi thi. Aur college me memorial rakha tha par Kamini aunty ne Riya ka antim Sanskar poore 3 saal tak nahi kiya tha" 
Monami spoke. She was furious. 
" YE SAB USSE KAISE PATA???" 
ANOTHER COMMON FACTOR ON ANOTHER HINT TO THE CASE WAS ADDED. 

Why was Riya's funeral not held for three years?? 
why did she commit suicide??
