The Wait

Part-57

"Mujhe lagta hai Ayesha ke ghar me kuch problem hai, mai wahin jaa raha hun."

Rathore replied quickly freeing himself from Arjun's hold and started walking towards the exit when he heard Arjun's voice.

"Mai bhi chalta hun."

Rathore turned to look at him, but having no time to react he just nodded walking away.

"Sir hum bhi chalte hain."

Chhotu added fast, to which Shree nodded his head in agreement before following Rathore quickly.

Rathore dialed Ayesha's number again which went unanswered , and that is when he noticed Arjun along with Shree, Chhotu got inside the car ,hence he accelerated the car without any delay.

"Sir per hua kya? Ayesha ne kuch bataya kya problem hai.?"

Shree asked curiously.

"Mai baat kar raha hai usse , aur pichhe se ..*Pause* wait mai bhul gaya ki Riya bhi wahin hai aur Sakshi bhi. "

Arjun whipped his head to him that instant, and so did Chhotu and Shree.

"Shree, Chhotu unn dono ko phone karo jaldi."

"Haan haan sir."

Shree, Chhotu dialed Sakshi and Riya's number respectively when Rathore speeded the car.

"Sir Riya toh phone nahi utha rahi hai."

Chhotu informed them.

"Um Sakshi bhi."

Shree added, and Rathore released a sharp breathe continuing speaking.

"Ayesha mujhse phone pe baat kar rahi thi aur pichhe se Riya ki chillane ki awaz aayi. Ayesha check karne gayi hi thi ki phone cut ho gaya ,uske baad se vo utha nahi rahi hai phone."

"Kya.?"

Shree , Chhotu exclaimed in unison, whereas Arjun thought over his words looking away from Rathore and dialed Riya's number that went unanswered.

As soon as they reached on Ayesha's address, Rathore applied a sudden break to the car on finding two ambulance in the driveway ,that shot up the anxiety level of the men inside the car.

"Ambulance.?"

Shree murmured , while others quickly got off the car and Rathore unconsciously gulped a little before they ran inside.

Arjun walked past Rathore, whose pace slowed down eyeing the paramedics rushing inside the house near the door and some irrational thoughts immersed his mind.

Arjun sprinted inside the room and the first voice he heard was Riya's who he could see was wrapping a cloth around the neck of a girl laid on the bed to stop the blood flow ;the bed ,Riya's hands, clothes were drenched with.

He stepped closer to her from back since her face wasn't visible to him ,with her bending over the bed and her side face all covered with her hair as she desperately asked the paramedic if there was another way to stop the blood flow.

"Hame inhe aese hi le jaana hoga, aur jaldi karna hoga nahi toh dair ho jayegi."

The paramedic girl replied her.

"Riya.?"

Riya whipped her head to her side that instant, and that is when Arjun saw her face that looked pale, a bruise on the corner of her forehead with blood trailing down to the side of her face ,clothes turned red ,her eyes looked distressed.

"Tum thi....."

He couldn't complete his words, for being interrupted by her.

"Sir kya aap isse uss stretcher tak le jaayenge.?"
