The Wait

Part-13

"Team any clue.?"

Rathore asked entering the conference hall in his usual self.

"Sir,humne dinesh aur vo ladki Shruti (who died with the boy) ke friends se puch tach kiya tha,unke hisab se Dinesh aur shruti ek dusre se pyar karte the."

Ayesha started.

"unn dono ke ghar wale love marriage me believe hi ni karte ,issliye inn dono ne apni love story secret hi rakhi thi."

sakshi added.

"per ek din unn dono ki family walon ko ye sab pata lag gaya,aur dono families ke bich me bahut hungama bhi hua tha iss matter ko leke."

Chhotu spoke ,shrugging his shoulder.

"shruti ki best friend Anjalli ke hisab se shruti ki family ne gusse se uski shadi kahin aur tay kardi thi.iss baat se pareshan hoke dono ne ghar se bhag jaane ka plan banaya tha."

Shree finished in a breathe.

"aur ye baat jab dono ki families ko pata chali toh unhone bachon ki zid ke aage jhuk gaye aur dono ki shadi karane ke liye ready ho gaye.

College khatam hote hi dono ki shadi hone wali thi ,per usse pehle unki maut hogayi."

Riya sighed.

"Jab dono ki families maan gaye the toh suicide karne ki kya wajah ho sakti hai?"

Rathore murmured to himself.

"sir,kya pata dono ki family me se kisi ek ne inhe jhooth bola ho bas vo dono bhag na jaaye iss darr se? Aur jab inn dono ko pata chala toh inhone suicide karli."

Shree pointed out.

"agar aesi baat hai shree,toh sirf ek ki nahi dono ki family ki mili bhagat lagti hai ye.

Log society me apna khokhla rutwa banaye rakhne ke liye kuch bhi kar sakte hai.may be sab ne milke dono ko torture kiya ho aur suicide karne pe majboor kiya ho."

Rathore explained.

"aur ho sakta hai ki ye kuch aur hi mamla ho."

Arjun's voice echoed in the hall ,making all look at his direction who came walking out of his cabin; while Rathore rolled his eyes.

"tum bore ni ho jaate Rawte aese last moment entries lete lete? Aur last minute me kuch aesa bolke sabko surprise karke?"

He taunted.

"achha laga dekh ke ki aapko case se zyada meri entries aur comments pe zyada focus hai Sir.'

Arjun taunted back ,followed by a deadly silence in the hall with the two chiefs glaring each other and the rest watching them silently.

A small smile appeared on Riya's lips finding arjun looking more stable,and less bothered about his headache ,then composed herself exchanging look with her friends.

"tum kuch bol rahe the."

Rathore stated pausing their glaring session.

"haan.mai ye keh raha tha ki case ka ek aur angle bhi hai.hame usse bhi consider karna chahiye.

"aur kaunsa angle baaki hai sir.?

Shree looked puzzled.

"Hai shree.

Ye sare discussion se ek c'mon baat hai jo humne notice ni ki.

Dinesh aur Shruti ne apna relationship secret rakha tha apne apne family se ,phir bhi unhe pata chala gaya.

Jab vo dono bhaagne ki planning kar rahe the ,tab bhi unki families ko pata chal gaya.

Kisi ek coincidence ko ignore kar bhi de toh dusre ko ni kar sakte."
