Together Forever (indefinite hold)

Standing by You (Part 8)

Ayesha- umm... Riya ek baat puchu

Riya- Of course Ayesha

Ayesha- Are you dating Rathore sir? ....

**************************************************************

Riya- Dating Sam? 

Riya starts laughing while Ayesha gives her a confused look. 

Riya- No dear I am not dating him, he is like a brother to me.

Ayesha smiles

Riya- Wait! Wait! Wait! You like him right?

Ayesha's eyes widen 

Riya playfully hits her shoulder

Riya- Don't worry you can tell me, you do right?

Ayesha shyly nods and Riya engulfs her in a hug 

Riya- OMG I am so happy for you

Riya lets go of Ayesha while Ayesha just looks at Riya in awe

Riya- What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?

Ayesha- I wish I met you earlier you are so so cute and so so sweet. 

Riya smiles

Ayesha- Now wonder all the ETF men adore you so much 

Riya just smiles

Ayesha- By the way do you love someone? 

Riya nods sadly. I do but I don't think so he will ever be mine

Ayesha hugs her

Ayesha- If you truly love him do not lose hope okay!

Riya nods.

Riya- Okay now enough about me, what about Liza she likes Shree right!

Ayesha nods

Riya- What about Sakshi does she have any love interest?

Ayesha- Yes she does! 

Riya- Who?

Ayesha- Our famous SYS

Riya gives her a confused look

Ayesha- The famous khadoos Arjun Suryakant Rawte

Riya's face dulls as she realises Sakshi also loves her Arjun sir

Riya nods. They finally get changed and reach the ETF office. Riya enters the conference hall with Ayesha where all the others had already reached. The whole team discusses a plan and they all leave for the bar. 

In on SUV it is Rathod, Ayesha, Liza and Chotu and in the other is Arjun, Sakshi, Riya and Shree. Riya was about to sit in the passenger seat next to where Arjun was sitting on the drivers seat but Sakshi sat there first so Riya sat behind with Shree. 

All through the ride she noticed how Sakshi would keep blabbering about random stuff but Arjun would not shout at her at all. Riya got sad thinking that Arjun has also started to feel for Sakshi. 

Once at the bar they all spread out and kept an eye at all the people there. They all are connected through bluetooth. They were all acting as if they have come partying but in reality they were looking out for people who were looking suspicious. 

When suddenly Riya said through the bluetooth

Riya- Sir I think the guy in the green shirt by the bar is the one we are looking for he is sneaking out some packets from his pocket

Sakshi- No Riya I don't think it is him look at the guy in the grey t-shirt I think it is him because he is always looking around as if he has something to hide

Riya- But Sak

Arjun- Riya, Sakshi is right he is the drug dealer I just saw him distributing packets. He is exiting the club we have to follow him

All of them nod and start exiting the club while Riya stands there in tears, now it is confirmed Arjun also likes Sakshi. She has lost a lot of time with Arjun and now Sakshi has made her place in his heart. Riya quickly wipes her tears and follows the team. 

The team follows the man to a godown where he goes in and is talking to a few other men. The team stands outside and overhears the conversation.

Man 1-Parso ek bada consignment aane wala haisab log yaha pe rahen thik paanch baj shaam ko

Man 2- Thik hai bahiyya 

Man 3- Chalo ab kat le te hai parso milenge 

Man 1- Haa jao 

The team returns to their SUV and they all decide to meet in the office tomorrow to formulate a plan. With this they all retire to their respective houses. Since all of them were tired they all went to sleep except for Riya. She sat in her balcony gazing up at the sky. 

She closed her eyes and moments of her and her Arjun sir flashed she quickly opened her eyes.

Riya- No Riya this is wrong, his happiness is now Sakshi you have to back off! They both love each other. 

Tears rolled down her eyes, she sobbed as she slumped down to the floor. She folded her knees to her chest and cried her heart out. As time passed her tears had no intention of stopping when all her energy was drained when she slowly fell asleep in her balcony. Her face still tear stained. 

The sun rays fell on her face as her eyes opened she immediately got up. She felt tired and drained but she had to get over it. She made her way to the washroom, freshened up and left for office. When she entered the conference room only Shree was there doing something on his lappy. 

Riya took her seat and opened her diary when Shree noticed her

Shree- Good morning Ri!

Riya- Good morning 

Shree took a look at her and was completely shocked Riya's eyes were red and puffy, her face was pale as if someone drained out all the colour from it. 

Shree- Ri are you okay?

Concern dripping from his voice. 

Riya just nodded. 

Shree casually touched her hand and looked at her shocked. Shree then placed his palm on her forehead.

Shree- Ri are you crazy! You have fever and you are telling me you are okay! did you take medicines

Riya nodded her head in a negative. In an instant Shree got up and brought medicines and made Riya have it. 

Shree- Ri go home and rest

Riya- I am fine Shree

Shree- No you are not!

Riya- Shree please

Shree- No Riya I am not listening to any excuses go home and rest.

Riya- But

Shree- No but's! I will inform Rathod sir. 

Riya sighed defeated. She packed her Diary reluctantly picked her bag up and walked out of the conference room. Riya was walking towards the exit when her head started spinning, her vision blurred and her legs gave in as she fell towards the ground.
