Part 17
Sarla and Sameer: Tum?
All turn towards them in confusion as to how they know the girl...
Rishab: Sarla ji aap inko kaise jaanti hain? Aap inse kab milin? Aur Sameer tu... Tu inhe kaise pehchanta hai? (asks Sameer when Sarla doesn't reply)
Sameer: Bhai main inko kaise bhool sakta hun? Yeh Riya hain... Riya Khandelwal! Khandelwal Limited ke owner ki beti!
Rishab is shocked on learning that Riya is the daughter of the owner of one of the biggest event managing companies...
Rishab (thinks out loud): To phir yeh meri company mein kaam kyon kar rahi hain?
Riya stiffens with this question, scared about the truth coming out!
Karan: Aunty... Aap bataiye na aap isey kaise jaanti hai?
Sarla: Beta... Voh... Yeh wahi ladki hai... Jo... Jiski...
Sameer (monotonously): Jiski tasveer aapne dekhi thi...!
All (except Sarla): What!? Kya!?
Sarla: Haan... Yeh wahi ladki hai hai jiski tasveer uss aadmi ke pocket se gir gayi thi!
Riya looks down knowing that the truth is out and also not able to look in Rishab's eyes and hold his constant gaze on her...
All are shocked but the most affected by this is Rishab... Tears forms in his eyes, blocking his view yet he controls himself, wipes his tears and wait to hear the further bitter truth unfortunately about his true love!Shrishti: Sameer please... Sach kya hai? Please batao... Main aur suspense nahi rakh sakti...
Sameer (sighs): Theek hai... Main sab batata hun... 3 mahine pehle main kaam se Ooty jaa raha tha...
Flashback
A beautiful girl is sitting in a train with her notebook wide open and pencil in her mouth... Thinking about something to write! She takes out pencil from her mouth... Her face is revealed... She is Riya!
Riya: Offo... Iske aagye kya likhun!? Samajh hi nahi aa raha... Uff!
Suddenly some goons enter the train at the station and start misbehaving with her!
Goon (master):Kya hua madam? Hum kuch madad kardein kya? (they laugh)
Riya feels uncomfortable and tries to ignore them but the goons take away her notebook, making her shout at them.
Riya: Tum samajhte kya ho khud ko haan? Yeh sab karne se tum mahaan ban jaate ho huun!? Maa behen nahi hai kya ghar par? Unke liye yeh behavior seh logey, hun? Yeh dikhata hai ki tum kitne badhe gadhe ho! Jise dhenchu-dhenchu karne ke alawa kuch aata hi nahi... Coward!
Goon (master): Aye ladki...
Is about to slap her... Riya shuts her eyes tightly but the slap never reaches her... She opens her eyes to see a hand stopping the goon from slapping her... The hand is revealed to be of Sameer...
Sameer: Kya huya haan? Bahut bahaadur ho tum to! Ladki par haath uthaate ho...
Goon (master): Dekh chup chaap nikal jaa yahan se... Bekaar mein iss maamle me mat padh... Bahut bura hoga tere liye...
Sameer: Dekh ek baat samajh le, mera isse lena dena hai... Ab aakhir voh mera dost hai (points towards a man wearing police uniform) Ab bata kiske liye bura hoga!?
The goon gets scared and leaves in a haste with his group... Riya smiles genuinely at Sameer and thanks him!
Riya: Thank you so much to you as well as to your friend too... Aap nahi hote toh pata nahi kya ho jata!
