CHAPTER 7

 

CHAPTER SEVEN

 

 

“But Riya a girl is really been murdered, and we are scared to have you in that college now.” Rathore said genuinely.

 

“Does that mean!?!” she asked in horror.

 

“Yep you are not going to college until we catch the killer.” Rathore said looking at the front.

 

“But that is so not fair!” Riya whined.

 

“Tell that to Arjun.” Rathore dared her and Riya sank in her seat.

 

But then an idea popped up, “I will ask uncle!” she said and grinned.

 

“Well, too late, Arjun told him and he agreed.” Rathore smirked and Riya’s grin faded. Riya again opened to say something, “aunty too agreed on the same.” He continued and her open mouth turned into big pout.

 

“He can’t do that to me!” Riya said angry.

 

“Well, considering the fact that he is Arjun, he can do everything he pleases.” Rathore said and Riya’s happiness sank in, “you should have agreed to the bodyguard, maybe he shouldn’t have done this.” Rathore said.

 

“I know he did this only to show me that I am a little kid who needs his support every time.” Riya whined.

 

“Don’t you?” Rathore asked smirking.

 

“NO!!” Riya said instantly and saw Rathore smiling from the corner of her eyes, “well, sometimes.” She admitted and he nodded, “okay! Many times! But that doesn’t mean he is going to bully me everywhere.”

 

Rathore didn’t say anything any more, he knew Riya was angry and Arjun was the reason so there was something going to happen, either a big blast or complete silence. God save the poor people. Rathore prayed for Mr. and Mrs. Rawte.

 

“Riya, just a piece of advice,” Rathore said entering the gates of her house, Riya looked at him and the smile on his face held a sweet concern, “Riya, Arjun is- ” he didn’t know how to explain, then decided to tell her, “Riya, to tell you the truth, he is really worried about the happenings of this city, the crime is taking place each and everyday! Nothing worried him so much but today when we got the news of a girl missing and that too of your college, he was hell of a worried, we all were.” Rathore said and Riya listened sincerely, “Riya, try and understand what he is doing, it’s for your good. He doesn’t get any happiness by making you suffer. He just cares so much about – (he was about to say ‘you’ but thought against it) about everybody.”

 

Riya listened and smiled at him and hugged him. Rathore too gave her a warm hug and heard her say, “I agree with everything you said, I know you all are worried for me.” she said slightly, being very thankful. Then she pushed him a bit and said angrily, “BUT! It really gives him happiness to see me suffer!” she said with her hands on her waist, “but I assure you, his happiness wont last long.” She said and gave a naughty wink to him and went away.

 

“They are never gonna change!” Rathore said seeing Riya go but then saw her coming back to him, she came and leaned on the window.

 

“Tell your stupid best friend to get ready, he messed with a wrong girl! Other wise he would say I didn’t warn him!” she said and Rathore looked at her, only she was able to do this, to harass him, hurt him, hang him, and get away with it just like that. Rathore smirked at the expression Arjun would have when he will tell him this.  Yes he surely was going to tell him!

 

“And one more thing!” Riya said as she turned to him again, “next time you plan to play ‘partners in crime’ with him, warn me. I will get a plan ready for you too.” she said and gave him an ‘I-didn’t-expect-you-to-help-him-like-this look’ and walked away in the house.

 

Rathore looked at her after hearing this and sighed, he was still alive after her deadly look, “Arjun Rawte! You better thank me for this!”

 

Ooo

 

 

Riya entered the house with a smiling expression, she knew they cared for her so much, she didn’t need any explanation. If Arjun asked her politely, she would have asked Rathore to drop her herself! But he ‘ordered’ her. That took her away in anger!

 

And then Arjun and polite? It would be like asking a monkey to sit still in the jungle. Impossible! Monkey! Yes! I would have named him monkey instead of muffin!  Riya thought and grinned.

 

Ooo

 

The girl who was murdered last night was Archana Mallik. A very good looking and outgoing girl, good looking as they have seen her photo and out going, as they have found her body in the middle of the night.

 

Arjun was in her college, doing investigation and asking the random guys for their statements. Then he went to meet the roommate of the girl murdered.

 

“What is your name?” asked Arjun a bit softly, coz the girl seemed deeply affected.

 

“I am Niharika. I was the roommate of Archana from last year.” She said looking down as Arjun’s eyes searched her room keenly. “I was in her class too, second year of commerce.”

 

“What do you know about Archana Mallik?” he asked.

 

“Archana was a very good looking girl. So there were many guys after her. She too was a spoilt brat. She enjoyed all the attention, the college girls didn’t like her much but she was helpful to me. And moreover my roommate so I was okay with her.” niharika said.

 

“What do you mean by ‘college girls’? Any specific names?” Arjun asked.

 

“No, I mean we were in second year and she used to rag the new comers, during ragging she went to an extent of slapping the new girls! So nobody liked her that much.” She explained and Arjun looked at her keenly, her body language speaking more that her mouth.

 

“She used to spend nights outside the hostel?” Arjun asked and she looked at him.

 

“What do you mean?” she said looking away.

 

“You know what I mean.” Arjun said sternly and niharika got a bit uncomfortable.

 

“She was an outgoing girl, she used to party and go movies many times, the warden too didn’t say anything to her!” she complained but then continued, “she used to come late but she never spent full night outside, just yesterday. Actually she was an okay girl, I don’t know why would someone try to kill her.”

 

“Don’t worry we would find out soon.” Arjun said and left the place.

 

He went out and met Chotu.

 

“Get me the friends.” Arjun said sternly to bring up Archana’s friends to Chotu as his head was pounding with a severe headache.

 

“Yes sir.” Chotu went out to bring the girls.

 

Arjun sat in an office room in the administration building, and the girls came in. Rathore too followed them in.

 

“What are your names and what do you know about Archana Mallik?” Arjun asked uninterested in the case.

 

“Sir, I am jaya and she is minakshi.” The tall one said.

 

“Sir, we don’t know anything about Archana’s murder! We didn’t do anything!” the short one said and started crying.

 

“Please, do not cry, I don’t like it!” Arjun said as he held his head slightly. Rathore noticed but concentrated on the girls.

 

“Sir, yesterday Archana went out to a party, she asked us too but we had to complete our assignment so we didn’t.” the tall one explained and the other one nodded.

 

“Okay you may go.” Arjun said and Rathore nodded at them to leave.

 

After the girls went away, Rathore looked at Arjun.

 

“You can take the day off if you’re not okay, Rawte.” He said concerned but Arjun wanted to stay.

 

“No its okay, we are nearly finished, only one person left.” Arjun said looking at the list of person Shree gave him, it was a list of persons Archana met yesterday.

 

“Call Sikandar Kapoor.” Arjun’s eyes twinkled at the name.

 

“Arjun, stay calm.” Rathore warned as he has seen Arjun act differently when he was around.

 

“Yes ‘sir’!” Arjun emphasized on ‘sir’ and Rathore rolled his eyes.

 

Sikandar came and sat on the chair.

 

“What is your name and how do you know Archana Mallik?” Arjun asked the first half of question again and smirked.

 

“My ‘name’ is Sikandar Kapoor,” Sikandar told irritated, “and I am the student counselor of this college. Archana was a student of mine, she came to me in order to seek some help in the current assignment she got by her accounts teacher.” Sikandar told.

 

“Are you good in settling accounts?” Arjun asked taunting him slightly.

 

Sik looked at him glaring but answered, “No, but I am a quick learner, you see.” Sik said proudly, “and moreover she needed my help, and I was helping her.”

 

“How were you helping her exactly?” Arjun asked dirtily and Sik looked at him, he was again trying to accuse him.

 

“Well, it depends how you would like me to answer.” Sik said and Arjun glared at him.

 

Rathore looked at the tension building up and the guy talking rudely to his friend, “Mr. Kapoor answer the question! How were you helping her?” Rathore said and made the question sound appropriate.

 

“She had to make a company balance sheet so she had to do some research on the company she chose. I was helping her gather the information.” Sik said and continued to glare at Arjun.

 

“Didn’t she had google or wikipedia?” Arjun asked sarcastically.

 

“No, the internet connection was down from few days.” Sik gave a sarcastic reply too.

 

Rathore rolled his eyes and huffed, “you may go.” He said and Sik gave a glare and went out.

 

Arjun looked at Rathore, he wanted to grill him more, “why did you let him go?!” Arjun asked.

 

“What was left to ask?” Rathore said, “definition of the world wide web!?” Rathore said irritated at his attitude.

 

“Come on, Rathore!” Arjun said and just then Shree and Chotu came.

 

“Sir it’s the time for the closing of the college, should we let the students go?” he said and Arjun looked at the clock, it was 2 PM.

 

“Okay, let them go.” He said and closed his eyes, his head pounded again.

 

“And you go too.” Rathore said to Arjun, Shree and Chotu looked at him.

 

“I am going no where, I am okay.” He said stubbornly.

 

Rathore nodded his head and followed Arjun out.

 

When they all were out, they saw two girls standing outside and looking at them intently.

 

Arjun and Rathore gave a look to the girls telling them in looks to go away but they were still looking. After few seconds they recognized they were looking at Shree and Chotu so they didn’t notice their glares. They looked back and saw Shree and Chotu blushing. Arjun sighed seeing them both and went away.

 

Rathore too went away with Arjun and noticed Shree and Chotu standing there looking at the girls and the girls were now smiling.

 

“We have work to do!” Rathore called out to them and they came to their realities. They fumbled in their steps but reached towards the SUV.

 

The girls looked at them going sadly and Shree and Chotu too made their faces. The girls, Dishu and Mona.

 

 

Ooo

 

 

It was night, Arjun was engrossed in the case file of a previous case.

 

Rathore came in and saw Arjun still reading the file, “Rawte, still poking the nose into the file! Its 10 PM!” Rathore reminded, “remember, no food after 11!”

 

“Oh shit!” Arjun saw the clock and yeah it was 5 mins to 10 ‘o’ clock, “come join us on dinner.” Arjun offered.

 

Rathore imagined Riya’s angry face after what he did in college, “no, umm, some other time.” He refused and Arjun left.

 

Arjun specially kept in mind to reach home before 11.

 

He drove the car at the speed of light.

 

It was just 1 minute left for the clock to strike 11.

 

Riya looked at it and smirked, today too he would surely be late!

 

But just then he ran inside.

 

“Arjun!” Mr. Rawte exclaimed seeing him run so out of breath.

 

Arjun stood there for a second calming his breath down, “dad-” he sat on the sofa and relaxed.

 

“Arjun, you are late!” Riya said and his breath stuck on his stomach.

 

“WHAT!! I was in – when- when the clock had 1 minute!” he said taking long breaths.

 

“Nope! See.” Riya showed him her wristwatch, which had 11:05 pm on it.

 

“Hey! This is cheating!” Arjun said making a face.

 

“Yes beta he was in.” Mr. Rawte said, taking his side for the first time.

 

Arjun looked at him gratefully but just then Riya said, “uncle, you forgot he – he locked me in the room.” Riya reminded.

 

“Yeah, yeah!” he looked at Arjun, “you are late!”

 

Arjun’s jaw dropped and he looked at him incredulously.

 

Arjun walked to him and looked at him, “first answer me one thing!” Arjun asked, “are you my dad or hers?!” he asked folding his hands on his chest.

 

Mr. Rawte looked at him and then at Riya who controlled her laughter, “yo- yours.” He said at his keen look.

 

“No, because you really don’t behave like my dad, you behave like hers!” Arjun said and went to Riya.

 

“And you!” he said and Riya stood there holding her laughter badly. “I will see you!” Arjun said and ran inside the kitchen and closed the door. He looked out through a big window, joining kitchen to the living room, “I will eat!” he said and sat on the dining table which was thankfully inside too.

 

Mrs. Rawte served him quickly and Arjun stuffed his mouth with food. Riya came to the window and glared at him, “you cheap traitor!” she said and Arjun winked back at her, he continued to chew and stuff his mouth, winning.

 

He saw Riya looking here and there and then finally she was able to open the window! His eyes widened and he continued eating faster. Mrs. Rawte looked at the children, yes, children and smiled, they were always like this! Riya knew there was no better punishment for Arjun to not let him eat! Riya then bent down and tried coming inside by the window while Arjun stuffed his last chapatti with vegetables and rolled it. He made chapatti roles and held them in his hands and opened the door and ran to his room, while Riya was still on the window. She came in the kitchen saw him running to his room.

 

“Arjun! Give me the rolls!” she ran behind him and he was already on the stairs. Before she could catch him, he was inside his room. He locked the room and then finally had his chapatti rolls in peace.

 

“Open the door!!” Riya banged and Arjun had a loud evil laugh. “I am not going to leave you, stupid giraffe!” Riya shouted and Arjun laughed loud.

 

“We will see, stupid lizard!” came his loud voice and Riya kicked his door and went inside her own room.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Rawte watched the drama and hugged each other sideways.

 

“Are they ever going to grow up?” asked Mrs. Rawte.

 

“Oh, Pooja!” Mr. Rawte hugged her tightly; “this girl had brought life back to our house!” he said and smiled.

 

Mrs. Rawte hugged him back and said, “life and ‘spice’ back!” she said and winked at him, as they too were eager to know what will happen tomorrow when Arjun opens the door.

 

Arjun on the other hand was happy and curious, happy for his win and curious about himself, his headache that was pounding in his head from whole day was gone! It was like whoosh! And gone.

 

Maybe it was the food. His brain asked but heart whispered, nah! It was Riya.

 

Ooo

 

 

Arjun woke up and found the day to be calm and soothing. And usually he didn’t like this feeling when Riya was around, whenever he felt calm and soothing around her, he usually ended up breaking his leg or loosing two three bones. Last time he had this feeling, he was on bed rest for a month, breaking his ankle as Riya put oil on the floor. And the second last time, ahh! The memory was horrible. He said to his brain and it stopped playing the flashbacks.

 

Arjun then went to the balcony and towards her room, the curtains were open! Devil’s up! His heart sank and started beating fast.

 

He then opened his door slowly and looked on the floor for oil. It was not. He sighed as he reached the hall safely and checked the sofa for pins by rubbing his palms on it, its safe, he thought and sat on it.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Rawte watched this from above and laughed quietly with each other.

 

Soon a servant bought the daily newspaper and he took it, he was reading it when he felt an itch in his nose. Seeing his expressions Mrs. Rawte chuckled and Mr. Rawte took her inside the room, incase she spoils the fun.

 

Soon in two minutes Riya entered with a cat in her arms. She ruffled through her fur and caressed her back.

 

She sat in front of Arjun who was engrossed in reading a newspaper. She then blew on the cat so that her germs, fragrance or whatever reached him soon. Yes, Arjun was allergic to cats. And so badly allergic that he can’t even stand a touch! She had previously walked in the whole house with it so that it bugs him but seeing no effect, she came with it in her hands!

 

Arjun’s nose itched and he sneezed first time. Riya closed her eyes and stopped herself from laughing.

 

Then after few seconds she left the cat on the floor and it directly went to him.

 

Lovers? I see. Riya smirked as the cat sat near his foot and started playing with its tail. She was waving its tail in the air and soon Arjun again felt the itch, he closed his eyes and sneezed!

 

When he opened his eyes he saw the cat sitting near his foot, “AHHH!” He quickly threw the paper away and stood up with his legs ON the sofa. That was when Riya laughed and he saw her.

 

That is why my nose was itching from the morning!!! He glared at Riya and then looked at the cat.

 

“Riya, what is this nonsense!” he said and looked at the poor cat enjoying her time with her tail.

 

“What?” Riya asked innocently.

 

“THIS! This! This cat!!” he said and made a face, “aachhiii!!” he sneezed again and rubbed his nose, “take it away!” he said and Riya went towards it and held it in her arms again, nearing him slightly.

 

“This is not a cat, Arjun.” she said cutely, “This is a baby kitten!” she said and caressed its back again.

 

“Cat, kitten, whatever! Take it away right now!” he said and moved a step back on the sofa as Riya came near him.

 

“aww Arjun, I have adopted her! Isn’t she cute!?” she asked as she kissed the small face of the cat in her arms.

 

Arjun mentally puked inside his stomach seeing Riya so close to the animal, “eish! Riya, you are disgusting!” he said making a face and Riya smiled. “And forget about adopting! If this creature stays one more second in my house, I swear I am going to shoot it!” he said glaring at the kitten.

 

“aww, don’t be so heartless, Arjun, where will this baby go?” she said and hugged the kitten close, not wanting to let go.

 

Seeing this he wanted to poke the creature out, “Riya, forget about my heart, I wont even have a life to see another day! Please take it out.” he tried to request but Riya didn’t budge.

 

“No! She is staying with me.” Riya said.

 

“Riya, I will get you a teddy bear, big one, the biggest one in the mall! Let go of this stupid cat Na!” Arjun requested again but Riya was terribly enjoying it.

 

“No!” Riya said but then she agreed, “okay.” She thought, “If you let me go to the college, I would let the kitten go.” Arjun thought for a second and agreed.

 

“Done!” he said and Riya jumped in joy.

 

“a-a-aacchhiii!” he sneezed again and Riya took her cell phone and called someone. “Yes, come in and take your cat.” She said and Arjun looked at her confused.

 

Soon a man came in and took the cat in his arms, Riya took out some money and gave it to him, he smiled and went away.

 

“Who is he? Why did you give him the money?” Arjun asked still standing on the sofa.

 

“Well the cat is his pet, I asked him to let me use it for a while in return of some money. Simple.” She told.

 

“So what about that adoption and ‘so cute!’ thing?” he said acting like her.

 

“I lied.” Riya said just like that and Arjun looked at her, this little chic just blackmailed me!?!

 

“So you get down and get ready, you have to drop me off to college.” Riya said and went away in her room.

 

Ooo

 

Soon the “anticat” perfume was sprayed in the house and Arjun sighed in relief.

 

Riya came down and saw Arjun in his night suit. “What the hell, Arjun! You didn’t get ready!” Riya said and Arjun looked at himself.

 

“Why? Are you going somewhere?” he asked sipping his coffee.

 

“College! You told me I could go.” She said and took her bag.

 

“I lied.”  He said in the same tone as hers and her mouth went open.

 

Arjun then got up to go to his room when Riya again got adamant.

 

“Arjun!” she called and he turned, “are you going to drop me or not?!” she asked with a tone of finality.

 

“Well, neither I am dropping you, nor you are going.” He said and turned to go again.

 

“I want to go!” she told him angrily.

 

“Well, kids now a days want so many things, that doesn’t mean they get it all.” he said with his famous smirk on and winked at her, but then followed his no nonsense expression.

 

“I am not a kid Arjun!” Riya warned and seeing them fight again Mr. Rawte came down.

 

“Oh your behavior certainly tells me something else.” He said folding his hands and Riya got annoyed by his calmness.

 

“I will go!” Riya stomped her feet and turned to go.

 

“Riya, you dare not step out of that damn door!” Arjun screamed and lost his cool.

 

“Arjun!” Mr. Rawte scolded.

 

“Dad, she is behaving like a kid!” Arjun argued.

 

“Arjun, that is not a way to talk to her.” Mr. Rawte scolded and Riya had a little smile on her face.

 

“Well, this is the only way to handle stubborn ‘kids’!” Arjun said and Mr. Rawte glared at him.

 

“Uncle, I want to go to college.” Riya asked him,

 

But he turned to her looking intently, “Riya, you know there is danger out there and we both do not want you in danger.” He tried to pacify her.

 

“If you say so, I wont go, but tell him to not to call me a kid! Or else, consequences would be terrible!” Riya warned and Arjun subsided a smile.

 

“Arjun,” Mr. Rawte called him.

 

“I heard it, ‘consequences would be terrible’ I got It.” he said but couldn’t hold his laugh. Mr. Rawte too smiled at the lame attempt of the girl warning ACP Arjun Rawte. Arjun laughed and Mr. Rawte looked at Riya, she was furious now.

 

“Uncle, you too!” she whined and stomped to her room.

 

Ooo

 

 

After 2-3 hours.

 

Arjun had taken the day off and informed Rathore of his leave. But then Rathore asked him to ask Riya if she knew anything of Archana Mallik. Being in same college, maybe she could tell them something useful. Arjun thought it was a good idea, as Riya was not talking to him from the morning. And maybe he can make her talk by talking about something serious.

 

“Okay.” He said and hung up.

 

He sighed and went to her room, knowing well, she was damn angry.

 

He knocked and then waited but nothing happened, she didn’t call and she didn’t open the door. So he touched the door and found it already open.

 

He came in and saw Riya lying on the bed thinking.

 

“Hey.” He said and she looked at him.

 

As soon as Riya looked at him, she held the blanket tightly and turned other side of the bed, not facing him.

 

He came slowly and sat near her, behind her.

 

“Go away!” she said and turned to him.

 

“Come on, Riya, why so much angry?” he asked.

 

“Coz you think of me just like a kid! A little girl! You – you always do that!” she said and again faced away.

 

Arjun smirked, “I do not think of you like a kid. Not even a little girl. You are a woman, aren’t you?” he said and Riya turned to him, his words sending a sensation in her heart but she wanted to see the truth in his eyes.

 

But then she remembered, I am angry!

 

“Did you know Archana Mallik?” Arjun asked an angry Riya.

 

“Why do I tell you! I am not talking to you!” she said and rolled on the other side of the bed.

 

“Riya this is serious.” Arjun said.

 

“Me too.” Riya retorted.

 

Arjun huffed and moved to her, leaning down, kneeling on one knee, taking her face in his hands, he asked seriously, “what do you want!”

 

Seeing him so close her breath got stuck in her nose. She looked at him and his eye moved up and down, telling her, he was eyeing her lips, again.

 

He had her face captured in his hands, she looked in his eyes, they turned a bit darker and she lost herself in their depths.

 

That is when Riya felt his breath on her face and realized he was so close. She looked and he was just millimeters away from her lips. His hands on her face, cupping it softly. He pulled her head up and put a lingering kiss on her soft lips. Just a sweet little peck. He let his lips get the warmth of hers and soon parted.

 

Riya opened her eyes when she saw him backing away. He backed but not much, he was still leaning on her. Soon Riya looked in his magical eyes and couldn’t hold herself and she too went up to him and placed a same sweet little peck on his hot ones. At first stunned, Arjun looked at her but then she closed her eyes and pushed her lips to him, but then soon when he didn’t kiss her back, she realized her mistake. She quickly held the blanket up, turned other side and hid her red blushing face inside the blanket. Arjun again saw her back and then her shyness.

 

He looked at her back and then her hidden red face, the radiance of her blush creeping through the quilt. Soon the silence was taking place, at first it was okay but now suddenly it was awkward.

 

He didn’t know how to control the awkwardness, it was getting thick.

 

So he just said, “so what would I need to do to make it up to you, ‘Angry Riya’?” he said.

 

She heard him and went elated. She threw the quilt away and stood up happily, “5 things!” she said showing him her small palm and fingers stretched in excitement.

 

Arjun knew this was coming and sat on the bed, “shoot.” He asked her to name them.

 

Riya bend her thumb to her palm and said, “first! A large pizza!” she said and her mouth turned watery.

 

Arjun nodded.

 

“Second! Lots of chocolate!” she said putting her index finger to her the palm too. And Arjun looked at her. “Third! A new dress!” she said and looked at him for his approval.

 

“Hey, you have a lot of dresses, my poor wardrobe is in verge of blasting!” Arjun complained.

 

“Doesn’t matter! And well who is the angry one!?” Riya asked and Arjun looked at her sheepishly.

 

“You.” he answered quietly and nodded a yes in approval.

 

Riya looked at him and nodded, “fourth! – ” She said and just smiled evilly at him.

 

Seeing her evil smile mixed with so much evilness that he knew exactly what she thought.

 

“NO!” he said, “not at all!” he stood up and Riya came near him, standing on the bed. Their heads were in level and Arjun denied, “I am NOT taking you to any movie! I hate this ‘lovey-dovey’ kind of films!” Arjun made a face and Riya looked at him.

 

“Who’s the angry one?” Riya asked and Arjun looked at her in denial.

 

“You are.” He said, “but I am the one fulfilling wishes! I wont go to the movie.” Arjun said and Riya’s face fell and looked as if she was on verge of crying.

 

“Arjun, it’s a very nice movie, it has shah rukh khan in it.” she tried to persuade him.

 

“I knew it! That is why I am not going!” he said but her eyes suddenly filled with tears, she always does that, petty blackmailer! He accused her puppy look, “fine!” he agreed and the tears went away as soon as they came.

 

“Fifth!” she said and smirked inside, “I will bring along my friends.”

 

Hearing it Arjun got a flashback, Riya and her friends in the theatre whistling and jumping in each and every dialogue SRK said. “NO!!” Arjun denied closing his eyes to the horrible flashback.

 

“Who’s the angry one?” Riya asked again.

 

“YOU ARE!!” Arjun said as he tried to pull out his hairs but then an idea popped up, “okay. If your friends are coming, so are mine!” he said and knew she wont agree.

 

“DONE!!!” she said and smiled, Arjun looked at her and made a face but she smiled again, that is what she wanted, whole ETF! Coz she knew Arjun had no friends, at all. It was just Rathore and his ETF team, and if Shree and Chotu came, it will be more than fun!

 

OOO

 

PRECAP:

 

(Arjun-Riya going to the movie. The ETF team arrives, everyone happy as Arjun was giving them a treat, Shree and Chotu couldn’t imagine how this can be but they were happy as ever. Mona-Dishu arrive, Shree Chotu extremely happy seeing them.)

 

“These are my friends!” she said as she went to hug her friends who were equally elated to go on a movie with her as she told them Shree and Chotu would be coming too.

 

“I should have known, these cartoons were HER friends!” Arjun said to Rathore looking at Shree and Chotu who were staring at the girls.

 

“Shut up, Rawte! They are cool.” Rathore said to him and looked at the bharat-milap of Riya and her friends.

 

“Cool?!” Arjun asked, “They are clowns!!” Arjun exclaimed and Rathore elbowed him slightly and chuckled.
