Subah ke 10 baje…
Hospital ka VIP floor ab heavy security se bhar chuka tha.
Guards har jagah khade the.
👉 Arjun ne khud sab arrange kiya tha.
Riya bed par baithi thi… ab thodi stable thi, lekin kal raat ka attack abhi bhi uske dimaag me fresh tha.
"Main yahan safe hoon… right?" usne dheere se pucha.
Arjun uske paas khada tha.
👉 "Jab tak main hoon… tumhe kuch nahi hoga."
Uski voice calm thi… lekin andar ka gussa clearly feel ho raha tha.
⚠️ Unexpected Entry
Tabhi—
👉 Click…
Room ka door khula.
Arjun turant alert ho gaya.
"Kaun hai—"
Lekin uski baat adhuri reh gayi.
👉 Door par Natasha khadi thi.
Same confidence… same smirk…
Jaise kuch hua hi na ho.
😈 The Real Enemy
Riya ka heart fast beat karne laga.
👉 "Tum…"
Natasha dheere dheere andar aayi…
"Miss kiya mujhe?" usne sarcastically kaha.
Arjun ka face instantly cold ho gaya.
👉 "Tumhari himmat kaise hui yahan aane ki?"
Natasha ne shoulders ucha diye—
"Relax, Arjun… main sirf baat karne aayi hoon."
💥 Direct Attack
Natasha seedha Riya ke paas aayi…
Aur uski aankhon me dekha.
👉 "Tum lucky ho…"
Riya ne himmat jod kar bola—
"Ya tum unlucky ho… kyunki main abhi zinda hoon."
Room me silence chha gaya.
Arjun ne Riya ki taraf dekha…
👉 Usse expected nahi tha ki Riya itni strong reply degi.
🔥 Verbal War
Natasha hansi…
"Tumhe lagta hai tum jeet gayi?" usne tease karte hue pucha.
Riya ne seedha jawab diya—
👉 "Main fight me hoon… aur main haarne wali nahi."
Natasha ka smile dheere dheere fade hone laga.
😡 Arjun Steps In
Arjun beech me aaya…
👉 "Enough."
Uski voice itni cold thi ki room freeze ho gaya.
"Tumne jo kiya… uska price tumhe dena padega," Arjun ne clearly bola.
Natasha uske bilkul paas aayi…
👉 "Aur tum kya karoge, Arjun?"
"Police? Case?" wo hansi.
👉 "Proof hai tumhare paas?"
Arjun chup ho gaya…
Kyuki uske paas direct proof nahi tha.
Natasha ne smirk kiya—
👉 "Exactly."
💣 The Truth Bomb
Phir Natasha ne Riya ki taraf dekha…
👉 "Tumhe pata bhi hai… Arjun ne tumse shaadi kyun ki?"
Riya freeze ho gayi.
"Natasha…" Arjun ne warning tone me bola.
👉 "Don't."
Lekin Natasha rukne wali nahi thi.
👉 "Because tum sirf ek shield ho."
Room me silence explode ho gaya.
Riya ka heart drop ho gaya—
👉 "Shield…?"
💔 Emotional Break
"Tumhe use kiya ja raha hai," Natasha ne seedha bola,
"Arjun ke enemies tumhe target karein… aur wo safe rahe."
Riya ki aankhon me aansu aa gaye…
👉 "Yeh jhoot hai… right?"
Usne Arjun ki taraf dekha…
👉 Answer ke liye.
Arjun chup raha…
👉 Aur uska silence hi sab kuch keh gaya.
😢 Broken Trust
Riya ka dil toot gaya.
👉 "Tumne… mujhe use kiya…?"
Uski awaaz kaanp rahi thi.
Arjun finally bola—
👉 "Maine tumhe protect bhi kiya hai."
"Lekin pehle tumne mujhe danger me dala!" Riya ne gusse me kaha.
Room me tension peak par tha.
😈 Natasha Wins (for now)
Natasha slow clap karne lagi…
👉 "Beautiful…"
"Ab dekhte hain… tum dono ka 'perfect marriage' kitna strong hai."
Wo mudkar door ki taraf chal di…
👉 "Game abhi shuru hua hai."
Aur wo chali gayi.
💔 Final Scene
Room me sirf Riya aur Arjun reh gaye…
Silence…
Heavy… painful silence.
Riya ne aankhen band kar li…
👉 "Mujhe akela chhod do…"
Arjun kuch bolna chahta tha…
Lekin words nahi mile.
👉 Wo chup chaap wahan se chala gaya.
🔥 Cliffhanger:
👉 Kya Riya Arjun ko maaf karegi?
👉 Kya Natasha ab aur dangerous step legi?
