Preeran:Humdard✔️

Where are You?

Part 22

Luthra Mansion

All are happy after the event when a man comes running into the mansion.

Rishab: Arey tum? Tum toh Riya ke mansion ke security guard ho na! Tum yahan kaise...

Guard: Ji Sahab... Woh... Woh... Kya aapko pata hai ki Riya ma'am kahan hain? Woh kal subah se gayab hain... Kehke gayi thi ki office jaa rahi hain lekin phir waapas hi nahi aayi!

Rishab is shocked and worried... 

Rishab: Matlab woh ghar nahi aayi! Toh phir woh kahan gayin hogi? Aapne unke friends ko contact karne ki koshish kari...

Guard: Sahab woh toh Sir (Riya's father)  ne call kiya tha lekin kisi ko nahi pata woh kahan hain... Humne police mein 24 ghante hote hi complain kar di thi...

Karan: Bhai humein jaldi chalna chahiye aur bhabhi ko doondhna chahiye!

Preeta: Haan Rishab ji! Humein Riya ko dhoondhna hi hoga!

Rishab nods...

Rishab (in mind): Fikr mat karo Riya! Tumhara Rishab aa raha hai...!

Note: Everyone in the family are aware about Rishab's love for Riya as well as their love story as he told them everything before the act.

All leave and start searching for her. Some of them go to the police station while Rishab, Preeran and Shrishmeer ask people around her house but do not get any positive response.

Rishab: Kahan ho tum Riya? Kahan ho? (says worriedly with tears in his eyes)

All come to him informing each other about the negative response from everyone. He then goes to a paan wala (shopkeeper) and asks him.

Rishab: Bhaiyya aapne iss ladki ko dekha hai kya? (shows Riya's photograph)

Paan Wala: Arey yeh ladki...!

Rishab: Aap...Aapne isey dekha hai kya...?

Paan Wala: Haan wo kal...

Flashback...

Riya walks on the road remembering everything and does not notice a truck coming her way. Some goons pull her in the truck forcefully which is noticed by the paan wala.

Flashback ends

All are shocked and tensed... They thank him. Rishab tries to call Riya for the umpteenth time.

Store House

Flashback

There is a girl tied with ropes sitting on a chair... Her mouth is covered with a cloth... One can clearly tell with a single look that she hadn't eaten from a long time... She had become pale and had cuts on her body... A man enters and throws water on her face... She opens her eyes shocked by what happened and looks at the man angrily... The man being the one she loved and worshipped once... 

Flashback ends

That girl is revealed to be Riya who is trying to reach a particular bag but is not able to... She closes her eyes.

Riya (in mind): I cannot believe he can do this to me... I loved him so much and he... I hate myself for loving that man... I did everything he asked me to... Such a fool I was... I thought you loved me! Phir kyon mere pyaar ka faiydaa uthaya... (sobs) You said ki duniya mein mujhse zyaada pyaar kisi se nahi karte aur maine maan liya... How did I not realize ki you were only using me... How? (cries bitterly)

Her phone vibrates which is in her bag... The bag had fallen and the kidnappers hadn't noticed it. She again tries to reach the bag. This time she reaches it. She takes out her sandals and picks up the phone with her foot fingers. She holds the phone with her mouth and keeps it on her lap. The phone vibrates again and she sees the caller ID...

'Rishab❤'

Her eyes fill with tears... She touches the screen with her nose and accepts the call...

Road

Rishab is shocked as well as happy after the call is received.

Rishab: Hello... Hello Riya! (he puts the call on the speaker)

Riya is not able to speak as her mouth is tied. She tries to speak and thus hums... She takes out the cloth with much difficulty and is going to speak when she feels a jerk. A man had slapped her on her face.

Rishab hears the noise of the slap and tears fall from his eyes...

Rishab: Riya! (he shouts but the phone is disconnected)

He breaks down and cries in the middle of the road while everyone consoles him...

Shrishti: Rishab ji... Aap ro kyon rahe hain? Ulta aapko toh khush hona chahiye!

Preeta: Yeh kya bol rahi hai Shrishti? Paagal toh nahi ho gayi... Is mein khush hone waali kya baat hai...?

Shrishti: Arey di... Hai! Aap khud call duration dekho... 30 seconds exceed ho gaye hain... It means that we can trace the number!

Karan: Arey haan!

Rishab stands up quickly with a hope!

Rishab: You're a genius Shrishti! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Preeran and Sameer: Sacchi Shrishti! You're a genius!

Shrishti: Accha ok... Ok... Ab tareef baad mein kar lena... Abhi number trace karane chalte hain... Chalo!

Rishab: Haan... Chalo!

All leave.

Store House

Riya glares at the man angrily while the man pulls her hair tightly!

Man: Tumhaari itni himmat ki tum meri baat taalo... Aaj tak to tumne aisa kabhi nahi kiya to ab tum mein itni himmat kaise aa gayi...

Riya: Kal tak mujhe aapka asli chehra nahi pata tha... Lekin ab jo pata chala hai, main kabhi aapki baat nahi maanungi! Main aapki asliyat sabke saamne laakar rahungi! Aapke bure kaamon ki saza aapko zaroor milegi...

The man laughs evilly and pulls her hair more tightly. Riya winces in pain but the determination, courage and anger in her eyes does not subside.

Man: Itni himmat, haan? Kaise... Hmm?

Riya: Yeh taaqat meri mohabbat ki hai... Jo mujhe har mushqil se ladhne ki taqat deta hai!

Man: Oh... Mohabbat! Bhool gayi ki agar maine tumhara Luthra Office mein appointment fix nahi karaya hota toh tum kabhi us mohabbat se nahi milti!?

He laughs evilly while Riya looks at him angrily.
