......"kehna tha bas teen hi shabd tumse......shaayad rokhletha tumhe apne paas Riyaaaa.........."
She opened her eyes as if she heard him calling her name and replied "kaash aap ek baar keh dehthe sir.....aaj hum dono saath hote.....aur khush hote...."
A lone tear escaped her eyes as she said that.....
Hum hain is pal yahaan, jaane hon kal kahaan
Next morning, ETF office was buzzing with activity again........Riya walked to the conference table with a file in her hands....She had done some serious research and come up with a report.....All others too come to the table....Arjun first looks at Riya and finds her perfectly normal....he was in fact checking if she had any traces of the previous night's emotional turmoil she seemed to have had.....but to his relief, he found none.....but on the other hand, he was confused too.....Riya had so easily turned a new leaf altogether and seemed fine! She wasn't like this before.....Her worries often clouded her face and hiding it was never her forte......but the present Riya was a new person! What was the reason for such a drastic change in a bubbly naïve girl? The possible reasons worried him no end!
As the case discussion triggered off, Arjun snapped out and focused just on the case!
Rathod glances through it while Riya starts explaining her findings....
"Sir, ek interesting baat pathaa chali hai Sir, Avantika, Beena aur Chaaya Mumbai mein ek hi film institute se hai.....ek saath acting training course complete kiya hai!
Rathod exclaims in surprise "WHAT?"
Arjun: [getting the file from him] isska matlab sab ladkiyaan ek dhoosre ko pehle se hi jaanthi hai...
Riya: haan...unka ek happening gang tha....
Shree: Gang? Iss ka matlab aur bhi ladkiyan teh???
Riya: haan...aur bhi hai....almost dus teh......
Arjun: aur baaki bhi actresses hai kya?
Riya: nahi....dho models hai....teen tv actresses.....aur ek shaadi karke settle hogayi....
Rathod: tumne dus kaha tha na???
Riya: ek ladka tha sir....usska naam Ajith hai.....usske baare mein kuch khaas details mili nahi....kahaan hai? kya kar raha hai? kuch nahi pathaa!
Arjun: Nau ladkiyon ke gang mein sirf ek ladka.....Interesting very interesting!
Rathod: aisa kya interesting mila tumme Rawte?? Kya ek gang mein nau ladkiyaan aur ek ladka nahi ho saktha??
Arjun: ho sakthe hai par thoda ajeeb zaroor hai......[revolving his pen].kahi kuch toh choot raha hai Rathod!
Rathod looks at his direction and tries to guess what he is upto.......
"Chotu, Shree....Chaaya ka kuch patha chala??"
Shree: ab tak toh nahi Sir....Woh shooting se kab aur kaise nikhli patha hi nahi chala....hum dher raath tak wahaan wait karthe rahe aur.....
Rathod: aur woh tum dono officers ko fool karke chali gayi, huh??? Itna irresponsible kaise ho sakthe ho?
Arjun scans the file and the contents intently and thinks something seriously as if something caught his!!
Arjun: Rathod, hume studio chalna chahiye...Shaayad woh abhi bhi wahi kahi ho....
Rathod: u mean chup beiti hai??
Arjun: [looking at him and speaks after a second] ya chupaakar rakhi gayi hai.......
Riya: aapka matlab...??
