A/N : Thank you so much to all those who reviewed on last chap !
Abhijeet and Riya ran away from them holding each other's hand.
Riya asked while running with him "hum bhag kyun rahe hai..."
Abhijeet replied looking back at him while running "kyunki aap hai na madam mere sath isiliye..."
Riya again asked looking at him "par tumhare pas toh gun hai na..."
Abhijeet slowed down his speed knowing that those goons were not behind them now but still he cant take risk so he was alert while holding Riya's hand when they were moving in rain in that dark jungle...
He replied to Riya "gun hai toh kya sab ko maar doon.., aur waise bhi guns mai jyada bullets nhi hai, in par aise hi waste nhi kar sakta..."
Riya said while walking "but we are going in wrong direction.., road toh us taraf hai na..."
Abhijeet replied "maloom hai par vo log udhar hi gaye hai hume dhoondne.., isiliye us taraf nhi ja sakte..."
Riya asked "phir hum iss jungle se niklenge kaise..?"
Abhijeet answered "dekhte hai koi na koi rasta jarur hoga.."
Riya again with "kitna bada jungle hai, hum kaha jayenge..?"
Abhijeet replied looking everywhere "dekhenge kahi ghar hoga toh anadar jayenge ya phir aaj raat iss jungle mai hi rehna padega..."
Riya asked in teasing-stern "ghar aur jungle mai..? Are you kidding..?"
Abhijeet in irritation cut her coldly stopping there "just shut up Riya (she also stop there in jerk) can you just stop this question answer session for a while (looking at her) let me think..."
Riya gets quiet instantly feeling his anger which any time would blast on her again if she uttered any other word...
And again they walked ahead where Riya was completely mum but she was continuously sneezing coz rain doesn't suits her..,
Abhijeet asked caringly "are you okay..?"
Riya nodded in yes without looking at him who nodded his head at her with disappoint smile...
After few minutes..,
Riya couldn't help uttering "Mom, Dad pareshaan ho rahe honge..."
Abhijeet heard and looked at her who was already looking at him and replied while walking with her "Don't worry, Acp sir unhe samjha denge..."
They were just walking in jungle. After almost half hour Abhijeet's foot stopped seeing a farmhouse where Riya also stopped.
Riya uttered in shock "yaha toh sach mai ghar hai.."
Abhijeet said "hmm jaha Rasta khatam hota hai log aashiyana bana lete hai.."
Riya asked protesting looking at him "par koi jungle mai kaise ghar bana sakta hai.."
Abhijeet replied teasingly "nhi nhi, vo log pehle aap se permission lenge phir ghar banayenge..."
Riya looked at him sternly and said "ye pakka illegal hoga.."
Abhijeet replied teasingly "ye hum baad mai pata kar lenge.." and dragging her towards that house said "abhi chalo.., koi hoga toh unse help lenge..."
Riya asked "aur nhi hoga toh..?"
Abhijeet replied in fun "waise hi anadar ghus jayenge..."
Riya in shock "kya..?"
Abhijeet replied "haan..."
Riya asked "aise choron ki tarah ghusenge hum ghar mai aur kisine kuch kaha toh.."
Abhijeet answered with chuckle "koi hoga toh kahega na..."
And they stood in front of house where Abhijeet pressed the door bell but no response so he tap on the door hardly but still not response where...
Riya quietly standing there. She started shivering , so rubbing her arms and setting her wet hairs back.
Her eyes fall on door lock and she giving disappoint look to her "Charlie" tap on his shoulder while signalling towards lock with teasing smile "its locked.. (chuckled and teased him with) you are really Mr. Charlie"
Abhijeet looked at her and said "thik hai, thik hai..., hota hai.. jyada hasne ki jarurat nhi hai..."
Riya asked worriedly shivering tone "ab kya hoga..."
Abhijeet replied while removing pen knife from his pocket and showing it to her tried to unlock "har problem ka solution hota hai..."
Riya said "nhi khulega.., ye sirf filmon mai hota hai..."
Abhijeet replied hearing unlocked sound "khul gaya.., kabhi kabhi asli Jindgi mai bhi hota hai.."
Riya looked at him with surprise who smirked at her. He opened the door and they moved inside while closing the door by Abhijeet...
That house was big, well maintained and clean that means the owner of this house take care of it.
Riya without thinking moved inside and sat on sofa hugging herself because of coldness.
Abhijeet looked at her shivering. He looked here and there where he found there was fireplace too. He walked in that direction. Riya was looking at him with "what was he doing..?"
He stood near fireplace where matchbox was also present. He sat down and ignited it trying two-three times.
Abhijeet moved towards Riya and said pointing at chair which near fireplace "vaha jake baitho thand nhi lagegi.."
Riya stood up and moved towards fireplace and sat on chair.
Abhijeet told her "yaha baitho mai abhi aaya..."
Riya in scare stood up with "tum kaha ja rahe ho...?"
Abhijeet in calm tone "Relax.., yahi hoon.., kahi bahar nhi ja raha..., baitho.."
And she again sat down relaxing where Abhijeet moved towards a room which was on near fireplace's wall while tucking his wet shirt out and opening shirt sleeves button's...
He moved inside and glanced whole room. He moved towards cupboard, opened it and found some clothes present haphazardly. He opened another cupboard where he found towels.
Abhijeet took one and moved out from room, walked towards Riya and gave her towel with "iss se sar pooch lo.. (she took that from his hand who continued with) waha room mai kuch kapde bhi hai change kar lo... if any comfortable for you..."
Riya wiping her wet hairs replied shivering "I.. I don't wear anyone's clothes..."
Abhijeet was highly disappointed on her, nodding his head said in strictly with "Riya.., stop being stupid always.., see you are shivering badly in those wet clothes..."
Riya refused again in shivering tone "but I don't like it na.."
Abhijeet cut her in stiff tone "so..? Look at yourself.., (After a comfortable pause) Your health is more important than what you like and what not (in calm tone) tumhe barish suit nhi hoti, thand lag jayegi, tabiyat bhi kharab ho jayegi...so just go and change..."
Riya asked curiously "how do you know...?"
Abhijeet answered plainly "your mom told me when that day you were drenched because of me.."
Flashback...
Kapoor's Mansion...
In the midnight, Abhijeet while changing side on bed woke up from sleep. He sat on bed and looked at his bedside table for water but water jug was empty.
So he removed his quilt, picked up that water jug and stood up and walked towards his room door. He opened the door at the same time Riya's mother Meghna going after closing the door of Riya's room.
Seeing this Abhijeet stopped her with "kya hua aunty..? Aap iss waqt Riya k room mai..? Koi pareshaani hai..?"
Meghna stopping there told him as "koi pareshaani nhi hai beta.., vo bas Riya ki tabiyat thodi kharab ho gai hai..."
Abhijeet worriedly asked "kya..? Par aise achanak kaise tabiyat kharab ho gai.."
Meghna in disppointely said "achanak nhi beta ye toh khud maharani ne apni tabiyat kharab ki hai barish mai bhig kar..."
And this realised Abhijeet his mistake that he is responsible for her condition coz just because of him she drenched in rain...
Meghna in soft tone "tum pareshaan mat ho.., maine use Dawai di hai subah tak thik ho jayegi...(looking at his water jug) tum kya pani peene k liye jage the..."
Abhijeet answered with "haan vo..."
Meghna taking that jug from his hand told him "tum ruko, main pani leke aati hoon..."
And she left without even giving him chance to protest where Abhijeet silently looked at Riya's room and opening the door moved inside and stood beside her bed who was covered in blanket, sleeping peacefully..
Abhijeet softly placed his palm on her forehead to check temperature and it was little high, he felt guilty for this and thought to say sorry to her at morning, setting her quilt he silently left her room and closed the door...
In mean time Meghna came there with filled water jug and giving him said "ye lo.., pani peo aur shanti se so jao..."
Wishing him "good night" she left where Abhijeet also moved in and closed room door. He pouring water from jug in glass drank and placing it on bedside table, he slept on bed...
Riya again refuses with "still I won't change..."
Abhijeet in frustration faired hand on his face with "this girl.." then calming down himself suggested as "thik hai.., vaha pe ek bathrobe bhi hai (getting her facial expressions very well added sternly) may be new hi hai ya hoga dikh raha hai waise, so jab tak tumhare ye kapde sukh nhi jate tab tak atleast wear that..."
Riya thought to denied this too but seeing his cold-tough gaze she agreed with "thik hai..." and she stood up and walked towards room where
Abhijeet turned shaking his head disppointely at his "bad'tmiz angel" and walked towards fireplace while unbuttoning his wet shirt and somehow removed his wet shirt which was sticking to his body tightly...
Riya turned to ask him something but her eyes widened seeing him shirtless, he was in wet Jeans, his bare back towards her who while placing her palm on her eyes said "ye kya kar rahe ho tum..."
Hearing her voice he turned at her who was standing there while closing her eyes by her palm, he couldn't help from smiling at her cute gesture, his wet shirt still in his hand...
Abhijeet replied in obvious tone "tumhe kya lagta hai main superman hoon.., main nhi bhig sakta.., mujhe thand nhi lag sakti..."
And she turned saying "haan thik hai, thik hai.., main ye batane aai thi tum kahi jana mat please.."
And moved inside room and was about to lock the door but Abhijeet told her as "don't lock, just closed it... (seeing her changing expressions he assured) trust me.."
And she went inside just closing the door as told by him who again turned walked towards fireplace and kept his shirt on slab which above fireplace so it will soak soon...
He sat on chair beside fireplace while thinking "ye log ab tak yaha pahunche kaise nhi.., kuch toh gadbad jarur hai.., iss pehle har jagah pe the (looking at his heart) iski madat se.., lagta hai work nhi kar raha yaha (he removed his wet mobile from his wet Jean's pocket) ye toh gaya kaam se.., vaha sab pareshaan ho rahe honge, dhoond rahe honge hame.. (wiping his face) batau bhi toh kaise batau..., ek-do ghante baad nikal jaunga iss jungle se tab tak shayad vo log chale jaye jo hume dhoond rahe hai.., pata nhi kaha khaad laga k baithe honge hamare intejar mai..."
Suddenly something strike in his mind about Tarika "achha hua khud ko rok liya nhi toh pore plan pe phir se pani pher jata.., hope vo thik hogi.."
On Other Side...
After sending those goons in CID lock up Freddy dropped Tarika at her home safely who was very worried about Abhijeet but Freddy tired to relax her a little and told her to stay home.
It was going to be sleepless night for all.
Kapoor's Mansion...
At 2 PM, Meghna was seating on couch worriedly where Alok was roaming to and fro and in hall. Both were worried. So Alok walked towards landline which was at corner, he dialled specific number and called and the call gets connected,
In Bureau...
Whole team was present. Daya thought to interrogates those goons whom Freddy brought but he changed his mind, first he have to search Abhijeet and Riya when Freddy told all happenings to Acp sir, he even told that Abhijeet's mobile is not working. So...
Acp sir directly moved in his cabin and started working on his laptop, seems he was trying to locate something where Daya and Freddy looked at each other with confusion...
After some time Acp sir's mobile ringed, he picked up without seeing caller ID and listened as...
Alok on call "Hello Pradyuman, Abhijeet aur Riya ab tak ghar nhi pahunche yaar, mujhe bahot fikar ho rahi hai un dono ki..."
Acp sir in tension uttered "Alok fikar toh hume bhi hai unki...hum bhi un dono ko dhoond rahe hai..." at the same time he gets disappointed on his words for uttering...
Alok asked in shock "dhoond rahe hai matlab..? (Meghna also stood up in tension and moved towards Alok who said) Abhijeet ne toh kaha tha vo kisi dance club mai ja raha hai..."
Acp sir stood up with rubbing his forehead "Haan usne sahi kaha tha, par vaha par un par hamla hua tha..."
Alok cut him in extreme shock "kya..? Hamla..? Phir vo dono hai kaha..? Thik toh hai...?"
Acp sir relaxed him saying "dekho Alok.., fikar mat karo, hum unko jald dhoond lenge thik hai.., jaise hi kuch pata chalta hai main tumhe call karta hoon thik hai..."
And he cut the call and again concentrate on his laptop. Trying so many time he didn't get the required result so tapped his hand on table hardly with "Damn it..."
Freddy continuously trying Abhijeet's mobile but it's no use. Daya told his informers to search Abhijeet.
In Jungle...
Abhijeet still seating on chair shirtless in thought, his wet Jean's partly soaked.
He looked at the room with "ye Riya ko itna time kyun lag raha hai... (standing up in worried) kahi kuch gadbad toh nhi..."
Abhijeet quickly ran towards that room, he knocked on door calling "Riya.., Riya tum thik toh ho..."
But he didn't get any response, he gets tense and asked "main darwaja kholu kya..?"
Still not response so he opened the door in haste and found Riya was lying on bed in white bathrobe. Her wet dress lying on bed near her. Her heels also placed on floor.
Abhijeet relaxed seeing her "so gai... (but again questioned himself) par aise..."
Coz her legs dangling from bed, her hands landed near her head.
He worriedly moved towards her to check, stopped near bed and again called her but no response, he patted on her cheek calling her "Riya, Riya.. (he checked her pulse it was low, even her breathing was also slow) lagta hai behosh ho gai hai thand ki vajah se..."
He looked here & there in the room for the water but not getting, instead of going in kitchen for water he moved towards window of that room, opened the window and collecting rain water in his both hands as it was still raining...
He moved towards Riya and sprinkled on her face but still she was not coming in conscious. A tensed shadow passed on his face.
He caringly hold her right hand and rubbed her palm then left one while continuously calling her, moving towards foot side of bed, he rubbed the soles of her feet but she was still not coming in conscious, her body felt cold against his warm palms.
He stood up in tension while fairing his both hands in his hairs looking at her, he knew rain doesn't suits her but he never knew that it will affect her so much. He didn't get what to do coz right now her body is cold but after hours she will have fever and she really needs medical help and he have to go from there as soon as possible.
But right now atleast she have to come in conscious state. So he again moved towards her, keeping his right knee on bed and left one down. He patted her cheek and shook her with "Riya.., Riya.."
But no response from her. He gets worried seeing her motionless like this. He looked at her silently. He knew what he have to do but he was little scared and hesitated as he remembered her reaction on his prank which he did with her few days ago. He just blows those thoughts jerking his head. He can't waste time.
Abhijeet slowly cupped Riya's face and moved his face close to her face but the same second took his hand back and moved back as Tarika's face came in front of his eyes...
Don't know why but it's really making him feel bad and guilty. But he was not cheating Tarika or he was cheating himself but whatever it's part of his duty again. So he slowly pulled up unconscious Riya and hugged her, rubbed her back and head while calling "Riya.., Riya.., hosh mai aao Riya.."
He broke the hug and placing his right on her left cheek without thinking anymore. He moved his face close to her and blows air in her mouth and moved back. Still she was not coming in conscious. He was really shocked and scared too.
On other side...
Where Acp sir came out from his cabin in and called "Purvi-Pankaj.."
Both Instantly stood up in front of him with "sir.."
Acp sir ordered them "Tum dono abhi k abhi jao aur Abhijeet aur Riya ko dhondo jaha se vo dono jungle mai gaye the.., jab tak vo mil nhi jate vaha aaspas dhoonte raho us area mai.."
Both nodded and Instantly left bureau when Acp sir again went in his cabin worriedly...
In farmhouse..,
His right hand on holding her face and left hand supporting her which was around her waist.
He shook her again with loud call "RIYA..."
But no sign of consciousness. His eyes unknowingly turned teary, her breathing was almost nothing. He remembered her words..,
"meri fikar karna tumhara problem hai na mera nhi.."
Whatever will be reason but she is his responsibility after all. So again without wasting a second he blows air in her mouth continuously till she don't come in conscious state. She could see him with her barely opened eyes but her eyes were heavy and she couldn't help and her eyes again gets closed but...
Finally she was breathing slowly and he took a sigh of relief with moist smile. Her head leisurely falls on his left bare shoulder while breathing slowly. Her eyes were still closed.
And a relax-smile appeared on his face while rubbing her light wet hairs, he called "Riya.."
Hearing his voice she again tried to open her eyes where he asked "Riya.., tum thik ho na..?"
She didn't reply and just wrapped her arms around his bare back lazily-unintentionally and whispered closing her eyes "I'm feeling cold Charlie.."
He smiled nodding at her. He could feel her shivering body. He slowly took her in his warm arms and hugged her tightly while rubbing her back and head.
He unknowingly placed soft kiss on her head and hold her in tight hug for few minutes and in mean time she fall asleep resting her head on his shoulder.
He caringly pulled her back, holding her head, made her sleep on bed and moved back.
He looked at her and stood up. Took her dress which was lying on bed and moved from that room letting her rest there for sometime coz they have to move from there as soon as possible when she will woke up.
He walked towards fireplace and kept her dress there and picked up his soaked shirt which was there and while wearing that shirt he walked towards main door of that farmhouse.
He thought to glance the whole area till Riya was sleeping. He removed his gun with alert searched the area around farmhouse few minutes and quickly came inside placing his gun in waistband closed the door thinking now they can leave, they have to leave.
Though its midnight but still this is the right time to left from this dark Jungle. He sat on chair near fireplace for a half hour. Then he stood up, picking up her dress he moved towards that room and opening the door walked inside.
He looked at her who was sleeping though he don't want to woke up her but he have to. So he stepped towards her, kept her dress on bed and patted her cheek while calling "Riya.., Riya utho..." when he touched her, he felt she's having low fever now...
She gets disturbed and tried to open her tired eyes hearing his voice.., seeing her opened eyes he again said while helping her to seat on bed "Riya utho... hame jald se jald yaha se nikalna hoga"
Now she realized the whole thing and where she was. He said signalling towards her said "jaldi se change karo aur chalo.."
Seeing her annoying-tired expressions he got now she is not in the mood to change. He can understand her condition, she is very tired, her whole body must be paining but he is helpless so..,
Abhijeet nodding his head at her uttered "you are impossible to understand.., (she looked at him who continued in strict tone) jaldi karo time nhi hai.."
And he left the room, she quickly changed in her dress and came outside from the room and found Abhijeet was waiting there. They moved towards main door and came out and locked the door with just snatch.
Gun was in his right hand and left one holding Riya's hand like this they walked in the direction of road.
Almost half hour passed but still they were walking. Riya was quiet she was very tired and frustrated so Abhijeet was almost dragging her with him.
Riya stopping there, pulled him back and said in tired-weak tone "main ab aur nhi chal sakti..."
She pulled his hand and rested her body against tree tiredly while holding his hand and closing her eyes.
Abhijeet can understand her. She was exhausted and having fever too. She was very weak right now but he don't have choice so he tried with "Riya bas thodi der.., ek bar hum road pe pahunch gaye toh shayad hame koi help mil jaye.., you really need treatment"
Though he knows that at this odd hour it's hard to get any help but he can't do anything now. It's not safe. He can't stop there. Only he knew how much it's risky. He was really feeling bad for her suffering.
Abhijeet in soft tone said "Riya please.., hum yaha ruk nhi sakte jyada der.."
Hearing his caring-pleading voice she opened her eyes looked at him and again walked bringing small smile on his face. They keep walking until they don't come on road..
In bureau..,
Acp sir, Daya and Freddy were present in bureau. Daya and Freddy quietly looking at Acp sir who was still present in front of his laptop in his cabin.
When suddenly Acp sir's eyes widened in glad and he tapped his hand on table., after hearing some words from small earphone in his right ear about which only he was aware..
Acp sir instantly came out from his cabin removing his mobile from his pocket and called Purvi.
In Car..,
Purvi who was seating on passenger seat and Pankaj on driving seat, said "itne bade jungle mai hum Abhijeet sir aur Riya ko kaha dhoondenge.."
Purvi replied to him glancing out "pata nhi par dhondna toh padega na.."
Pankaj said "haan hope vo dono thik ho..."
And Purvi's mobile ringed and she quickly picked noticing Acp sir's name "yes sir.."
Acp sir moving to-and-fro in bureau said "Purvi.., Abhijeet tumse do kilometre ki duri pe hai.."
Daya and Freddy looked at each other with shock then at Acp sir with look that how he got to know.
Purvi uttered in shock "kya..?"
Acp sir ignoring said "Tum logon k opposite direction mai hai vo.., jaldi se jaldi pahuncho vaha.., vo log milte hi mujhe inform karna.."
And he cut the call while murmuring "Riya ki tabiyat bhi kharab ho gai hai..."
Purvi said to Pankaj "Pankaj gadi ghumao jaldi..."
Pankaj quickly turned staring wheel and asked "par hum log toh usi raste se aa rahe hai.."
Purvi replied "haan par Acp sir ne kaha vo vahi aas pas hai.., jaldi chalo.."
Daya stepped towards Acp sir and asked "sir aap ko kaise pata Abhijeet vaha hai.. aur exactly do kilometer ki duri pe hai (Acp sir looked away) uska phone toh ab bhi band aa raha hai aur Riya apna phone nhi leke gai.."
Acp sir tried to avoid his question with "Daya maine un dono ko Abhijeet ka jaha last time phone trace hua tha vahi bheja hai..."
Daya again stepped towards him and asked coz he heard Acp sir's words "phir aap ko ye kaise pata chala ki Riya ki tabiyat kharab hai..."
Acp sir looked at him and avoided with "Daya main ye keh raha tha ki shayad Riya ki tabiyat kharab hui hogi.., kal raat se vo bahar hai barish mai, bahar mausam kaisa hai pata hai na.., mujhe pata hai vo barish mai bahot bemar pad jati hai.."
Daya nodded in no with "nhi sir.., aap jarur kuch chupa rahe hai hum se..."
