RAAZ: The Evil Game of Devil
The Evil Inside Me
Chapter 1
A Secret is Burried
Scene 1
This was a nice restaurant. Many people were sitting here, enjoying various dishes. Some families were seated at one table, while some married couples were at another. Cheerful young boys and girls were also seated at these tables, having come here by telling lies to their families. But these two individuals sitting at this particular table seemed to be entangled in some strange dilemma. There were two chairs around the table. A 25-year-old young man was sitting on one chair, and a 24-year-old young woman was sitting on the other. Their table was empty. It seemed like they had no intention of eating or drinking anything. The girl was wearing a long shirt with jeans, while the guy was in a simple t-shirt and jeans. Since they arrived, there had been a continuous and serious conversation between them.
"Mujhe lagta hai ke ab hame yeh sab khatam kar dena chahiye hai. Purvi aik achi larki hai aur Daya tum se bohat pyaar karne laga hai" Looking into the girl's eyes, the boy said seriously. There was a strange emotion in those eyes. The feeling of pain. As if deciding this had caused him a lot of distress, but he felt that he had to make this decision now or sometime in the future.
"Han, tum theek keh rahe ho Abhijeet. Yeh jo bhi mere tumhaare beech mein hai woh sahi nahi hai. Ab ise shayad khatam kar dene ka waqt a gaya hai" In the girl's eyes, pain had also surfaced. But today, the decision was made to stay. And that decision had been made. A secret had been buried in the soil and had found its place in two hearts' chests.
"Theek hai phir ghar par milein ge" Abhijeet lowered his gaze and spoke, both of them rising from their chairs. They looked at each other for one last time and turned in different directions. The restaurant had two doors, one towards Abhijeet and the other towards the girl. Just as Abhijeet reached his door, she turned towards him and called out loudly.
"Abhijeet!" She screamed, attempting to grab Abhijeet's attention. Some people turned to look at the girl curiously.
Then, with a swift motion of their head, they turned back towards their companions.
"Shreya!" Her voice stopped him in his tracks. He turned, surprised and intrigued, to see her. Simultaneously, a whisper escaped his throat.
Shreya rushed towards Abhijeet, catching him off guard. Abhijeet responded by embracing Shreya tightly.
"Yeh kis liye tha?" Two minutes later, Abhijeet asked.
"Agar khatam kar hi rahe hain to ache se karte hain na" Moisture welled up in Shreya's eyes, which she wiped away with her fingers.
"Alvida Shreya" Abhijeet spoke with a sad smile on his face.
"Alvida Abhijeet" Shreya also spoke with sadness, and both of them chose separate paths. But what happens when the destination is the same, despite taking different paths?
Scene 2
This was a good middle-class house with a total of 6 rooms, including 3 bedrooms. The residents had kept the house well-maintained. Abhijeet got off his motorcycle and rang the doorbell. The door opened after about 10 or 20 seconds. A lovely 24-year-old girl had opened the door.
"Kahan gaye the ap Abhijeet?" The girl asked affectionately. Her eyes were full of love for Abhijeet.
"Mein kisi zaroori kaam se gaya tha magar tum yahan kya kar rahi ho Purvi?" Abhijeet, attempting to push aside Purvi's eyes, said. He was not feeling well at the moment. The heart was still restless.
"Kya matlab kya kar rahi hun? A sakti hun mein jab chahun. Aakhir kuch waqt mein mujhe yahin to aana hai. Aur yeh zaroori kaam kya mujh se bhi zyaada zaroori tha" Abhijeet was still standing at the door. Purvi's sudden speaking style was not giving him a chance to come in. On the other hand, Purvi was weaving a web around Abhijeet. Her every gesture showed love for Abhijeet.
"Purvi, ab mein tumhe kaise samjhaun" Abhijeet, looking at Purvi with helplessness, tried to say
"Kya matlab?" Purvi, not understanding anything, asked,
"Kuch nahi. Ab kya mujhe andar bhi nahi aane dogi" Abhijeet, hesitatingly, retracted the statement he had made.
"Are aaiye na. Ap ko roka kis ne hai? Ap hi ka to ghar hai" Purvi, with a dramatic flair, spoke and left a space for Abhijeet, closing her eyes in a captivating manner.
"Tum apni yeh chichori harkatein kab chodo gi" Abhijeet entered the house with a gentle smile on his face.
"Kya? Chichori harkatein??? Ap ko mera pyaar chichorpan lagta hai?" Abhijeet's voice opened Purvi's eyes completely. She screamed and said to Abhijeet. Her tone was filled with sadness and anger.
"Aur nahi to kya?" Abhijeet decided to tease her more. Despite the heavy thoughts on his mind, Purvi's playful antics had managed to lighten the mood.
"Chichori hi sahi magar mangetar hun ap ki aur ap ki hone waale biwi bhi" Purvi took Abhijeet's hand, and said while looking into his eyes
"Abhijeet beta, tum a gaye?" Someone's voice startled Purvi, and blushing, she let go of Abhijeet's hand. Abhijeet's gaze turned towards the person who had called out. It was his mother, named Asha.
"Ji maa, mein a gaya hun warna ap ko ghar mein dikhta kese?" Abhijeet, speaking in a joyful tone, hugged Asha.
"Kahan the? Purvi kab se tumhara intezaar kar rahi thi" Asha affectionately hugged her son, and the three of them went inside, engaging in lively conversation..
"Aik zaroori kaam par gaya tha. Aur mujhe thodi pata tha ke Purvi yahan aayi hui hai" Abhijeet tried to change the subject.
"Sab pata hai mujhe tumhare zaroori kaamon ka. Bas maa aur apni mangetar ke liye hi waqt nahi hai" Asha, Abhijeet's mother, complained that Abhijeet had started staying out too long.
"Are aisa nahi hai Maa. Acha theek hai, aj se mein ap ko aur Purvi ko mukammal waqt dun ga. Ab khush?" Abhijeet embraced his mother, Asha, and Purvi looked at Abhijeet with joy. That's all she wanted—Abhijeet's love and time.
"Abhijeet, meine ap ke liye halwa banaya hai. Kha ke bataiye kaisa bana hai" Purvi smiles at Abhijeet, and Asha leaves them alone, going to her room.
"Toh tum yahan halwa banane ayi thi?" Abhijeet leans against a nearby pillar with a smile. He had never realized before how innocent and beautiful Purvi is.
"Halwa to sirf aik bahaana hai. Mein to sirf ap ko dekhne aati hun. Magar ap hain ke apni nazr e karam daalte hi nahi" The conversation with Purvi began in a romantic tone but ended on a melancholic note.
"Mein bewaqoof tha jo tum pe nazar nahi daalta tha magar ab mein bewaqoof nahi raha. Aqal a gayi hai mujhe" Abhijeet thought about Shreya for a moment, but his heart told him that Purvi is a good girl who just wants his love.
"Der aaye durust aaye" Purvi laughs joyfully, and Abhijeet smiles seeing her happiness.
"Wese yeh Shreya Bhabhi kahan hain. Aksar hi jab mein aati hun to ap ki tarhan woh bhi gayab hoti hain" Suddenly, thoughts about Shreya crossed Purvi's mind. She had casually asked about her, but Abhijeet felt a pang in his heart. A sense of discomfort lingered in the air.
"Shreya, mujhe nahi pata" Silence spread across Abhijeet's face. He wanted to forget her, but forgetting wasn't as easy as he wished.
At that moment, Shreya entered through the main gate. She had a purse hanging on her shoulder. For some unknown reason, she looked sad. In the next moment, her eyes landed on Abhijeet and Purvi. Abhijeet quickly averted his gaze, fearing that his eyes might betray him. Shreya passed by them as if they weren't there, although she could see everything.
"Lagta hai mood off tha bhabhi ka" Purvi whispered to Abhijeet, but his mind was elsewhere.
Scene 3:
This was a middle sized room with a bed in the middle. A 25-year-old guy was sitting on the bed with boredom when suddenly the door to the room opened slowly, and Shreya entered.
"Kahan thi tum Shreya? Kab se intezaar kar raha tha mein tumhara. Aj dinner pe chalte hain" Perhaps he wanted to say a lot, express complaints, seek attention, and also express love.
"Mujhe aik zaroori kaam par gaya tha Daya" She lowered her eyes, lacking the courage to meet his gaze.
"Tumhaare paas mere liye bilkul waqt nahi hota hai" Daya turned his face with sadness, and his tone revealed his complaint and dissatisfaction.
"Mujhe maaf kar dijiye Daya. Ab mere paas sirf aur sirf ap ke liye hi waqt hai" Shreya immediately wiped away the tears that had unknowingly dripped from her eyes due to her anxiety.
"Chalo, tumhe ahsaas to hua" Daya, rising from the bed, looked into Shreya's eyes with a somber expression that mirrored the sadness in her eyes.
"Ap sach hi kehte the. Meine shayad apni alag priorities set kar li theen jab ke meri priority to sirf aur sirf ap hi hone chahiye hain" Shreya, in a melancholic tone, expressed herself. She had realized that she was on the wrong path, and now she had returned to the straight path that could lead her to her destination. The path she was on didn't lead to any destination; it was a perpetual journey, one that might never end.
"Shreya, maafi mat mango. Mein tum se naraaz zaroor tha magar ghussa kabhi ho hi nahi sakta. Aur shayad mein bhi had se zyaada react kar raha tha. Tumhare paas hamesha to mere liye waqt nahi ho sakta na" Daya spoke with a melancholic smile.
"Mera waqt sirf ap ke liye hai. Aj se, mera waqt sirf ap ka hai. Haq hai ap ka. Aur mein ap se ap ka haq nahi cheen sakti" Shreya sat closer to Daya and gently held his hand. The sensation felt so good to her after a long time. She had forgotten this feeling, but sometimes, moments are abundant to create new feelings. And today, she was fortunate enough to have this moment. She had decided to restart her life in a new way, leaving behind the decisions of the past and the moments of the past.
"Chalo neeche chalte hain" Daya's eyes were filled with a smile. Holding Shreya's hand, he felt that now he couldn't let go of this hand for the rest of his life.
Shreya and Daya, hand in hand, descended the stairs.
