Silently...

Part:15

Shree (in mind): They died. They didn't get a chance to know that her only daughter who was dead for everyone is actually alive.

Naina: Don't be sad Shree. I don't like to see tears in your eyes.

Shree composed himself and told her that he was alright. Arjun who was sitting in his SUV and watching them could not understand anything, but one thing was sure that Naina considered Shree as her good friend just like Riya used to do. The present scenario took Arjun's mind to the day when Riya was trying so hard to cheer Shree when he was upset. That day Shree was crying so much as he was missing his parents and the way Riya was hugging and consoling him, same way it was happening right now in front of his eyes. He felt that not Naina, but Riya was standing in front of his eyes with Shree.

Arjun (in mind): I know that she is not Riya but why does she seem like her. Not only her face but her nature is also same as Riya except one thing, Riya could not shoot people, but she could.

Arjun again got lost in Riya's thoughts whereas inside the cafe Naina thought of asking about Riya and Arjun's relationship after finding Shree composed.

Naina: Shree, I want to talk to you about something.

Shree: About your case na? Arey...

Naina: Not about the case. I want to know about Riya and Arjun's relationship.

Shree: Ri and Arjun Sir's relationship? 

Naina: Yes, were they couple? I know that Arjun is married, and his wife is no more and that girl in your team, Sakshi, she loves Arjun but what about him? I'm sure that he doesn't love Sakshi but did he used to love Riya?

Shree: Why are you asking?

Naina: Don't know. I'm curious, you can say. I feel that he loved her.

Shree: Not he but she used to love him. Riya used to love arjun Sir dearly, but poor Ri, she never got a chance to express her feelings. You know when she was taking her last breath, I could feel her pain. How she wanted to tell about her love for him but could not. 

Saying this Shree's eyes filled with tears. Naina was also in tears.

Shree (wiping his tears): We used to tease Ri a lot. She was the greatest supporter of Arjun Sir. Sir is very strict, but you couldn't call him by names in front of her. she would scold you. In the beginning they were not in good terms. They were irritated of each other. Arjun Sir had gotten very angry when Riya, by mistakenly, printed his wife's murder's case. He scolded her and warned her not to pay attention in his personal life. Riya was not at fault. That thing happened by mistake, but she apologized. And slowly she started to feel Sir's pain. And after seeing Arjun Sir's love for his wife, Riya started to love him. Both of them had same fate. Arjun Sir loved his wife very much but lost her and Ri also loved him dearly but did not get a chance to confess her feeling. You are lucky Naina. Your lover and you are together but some people like Arjun Sir and Ri are not lucky in love. (thinking something) Confessing your love is the most beautiful feeling na? How did you feel when both of you confessed your feelings for the first time?

Hearing the question Naina got sad.

Naina: I don't know how I felt.

Shree: Pardon?

Naina: Actually, two years back I had met with an accident, and I lost my memories. I was in coma for few months and when first time I had opened my eyes, I couldn't recognize Sahil. Thanks to all the photos he had of ours. By seeing those photos and videos I could believe him. Not only by photos but I felt his genuine love for me. He loves me a lot and I also.
