Eternal Love Story (Part-2) #Our Riansh (Chapter-16)

Party-II

Author’s POV:-

Aryan: Wait… don’t do anything…

He said and moved to the window. Taking out the curtains from the window, he tied them in a tight grip making it as a rope and threw them on the window’s side.

Ishani: Aryan, don’t tell me we are going to jump from here. I’m not letting you.

Ignoring her words, he moved towards the chair where knife was kept. He pierced the knife in his fingers only to make the blood ooze out.

Ishani: Aryan…are you..?

She yelled but before she could, he kept his hand on her mouth signing her to stay quiet. She looked at his face and then nodded. Moving a bit back he again stood there, keeping his fingers on the curtains. He marked his finger prints covered with blood on them. 

After he did it, he kept the curtains there only making few part of it to fall down from the window to make it look like someone had used it and he moved towards the door.  Peeping out he saw the bodyguards taking round in front of the door. Hurriedly closing the door, he turned back to look at Ishani’s confused face. Moving towards her he held her hand in his and with other cupped her cheeks. Wiping the wet cheeks, he looked at her.

Aryan: Ishani, just do as I’ll say. Don’t freak out.

She looked at him. He held her hand and moved to the table. Picking up the vase, he threw it in front of the window breaking it into few pieces. Rushing to the table, he hid themselves under it. She looked at him confused and was about to say something when he kept his hand on her mouth and signed towards the door. Looking at the door she saw those bodyguards entering in with their rifles loaded.

Their face held tension. Ishani squeezed her eyes shut as soon as she saw them keeping their fingers on the trigger and raising their guns to their shoulders. Peeping down from the window, they fired in the air and but they got no response of anyone getting hurt. They looked around the room but as none was there thinking them to have ran away from window they moved out from there. 

Coming out Ishani held Aryan’s hand and they were about to move towards the door when her dress got stuck with the nail which was coming out from the table. She looked back and pulled it harshly.

———————————-

Vansh looked around for Arjun and then his eyes fell on Sejal who was also looking around. Moving to her, he stood in her way making her shock with his sudden presence.

Vansh: Where is Arjun?

He asked calmly while looking at her face.

Sejal: I don’t know, I’m searching for bomb here. 

She said in a low voice while looking at the guests.

Sejal: Oh no…If Veer bhai is here and Arjun…. No…no.. You have to search for him.

She said to herself but it was audible to Vansh, who didn’t even cared to answer her and moved to search for Arjun. Kabir came to her looking at her face.

Kabir: Sejal, don’t worry. Vansh will find him, we have to search for that bomb right now.

Kabir said holding her. She looked up at him and nodded.

Sejal: Where is Riddhima? I have not seen her for a longtime even since the party started she isn’t here.

She said and looked at him scared.

Kabir: I know where is she and she is safe. Now come, we will have to search or we will have to wrap up the party.

Holding her hand, he pulled her with him.

———————————-

Vansh opened the door and entered in.

Vansh: Riddhima…Riddhima…

 Calling out her name while standing in front of the washroom and when he got no reply, slightly pushing the door he entered in. Looking around the area he didn’t found anyone there. 

Panic rushed through his veins, turning back he looked at each and everything when his eyes fell on her phone kept on the table. Moving to bed, he picked up her phone. Anger was visible on his face when he didn’t found the reason of their sudden disappearance. Throwing the phone on the mirror, he broke it into many pieces. 

Looking at himself in through the broken pieces of mirror. He saw his reflection visible there. With bloodshot red eyes, he moved to the cupboard. Sliding the door, he ruffled his hands through the files and clothes kept there. When his hands found the thing he was searching for. Grabbing it, he pulled it out from beneath the dresses. Looking at the shining metallic pistol, he loaded it. Hiding it at the back of his shirt, he moved out from the room.

Descending down the stairs, he looked at the guests. Still many were there. His eyes only searched for Arjun and Riddhima. Moving to Kabir, he saw him searching for something under the table.

Vansh: Someone is here in disguise of guest.

He said and looked at everyone.

Kabir: What? Are you sure?

Vansh nodded hearing him.

Vansh: I don’t know where is Riddhima and Arjun. 

He was about to continue, when he saw Sejal moving to the kitchen with her phone. Looking at Kabir, he signed her at Sejal.

Vansh: I don’t know what she is doing?

He said moving towards the kitchen. Peeping in they saw her talking on the phone.

Sejal: Why have you called me now?

She said as soon as she picked up her phone.

———————————-

Peeping out from the room, Ishani silently peeped out to see no one was there now.

Aryan: Is there anyone?

She heard his low whisper and turning back shook her head looking at him.

Aryan: We will have to leave from here before anyone of them get about our plan.

Nodding, she held his hand and pulled him out. Keeping his hands around her shoulder, he tried to drag his legs without making any noise and leaving any blood mark behind. Suddenly, they saw someone coming from the stairs. Hiding themselves behind the door, they waited for him to move. 

Looking at the room, Ishani remembered it to be of Veer and Ruchi. Big painting of baby Arjun with Veer and Ruchi holding him in their arms was still hanging on the wall but was now covered with dirt. Spider had made its web all around the furniture’s. On seeing her lost in the past, Aryan removed his hand from her shoulder.

Moving in she opened the cupboard where their dresses were hanging. Holding one of the chiffon blue saree, she looked at it.

“Bhabhi, no…I said blue means blue. Why every time you have to select the dress which Riddhima suggests you?” 

“Fine…I’ll take blue one. Happy Ishani.”

“Yes…“

Voices echoed in her ears reminiscing about their moments. Ruffling through the dresses, she came across the dress of Arjun.

“Rohan…How cute the baby is?”

“Arey no…I have decided the name…It will be…”

“Suspense…I’ll tell you in the naming ceremony only.”

“Arjun…His name will be Arjun”

Wiping the tears, she kept them back. Looking across the table, she was about to close the door when her eyes fell on one of the files kept there. Wiping the rest over tears hurriedly, she took it out. Opening it she looked at the pages only to get shocked.

Ishani: What the…?

She mumbled and was about to flip the papers when Aryan snatched it from her. She looked at him. Throwing the files in the cupboard, he closed the door.

Aryan: We will have to leave. Come.

He said and before she could refuse or tell him something. He wrapped held her hand and dragging his feet pulled her with him. Peeping out, he saw to see the person gone. Ishani still with confused eyes was silently following him. 

Carefully descending down the stairs, Aryan looked around to see few bodyguards standing in front of the door with their heads down. 

Aryan: They are not looking at us. We will have to leave.

He said but when he didn’t got any response from Ishani. He silently moved from there. Coming out from the Mansion, they were about to move out when they saw many bodyguards roaming around the mansion. Turning back he looked at her.

Aryan: Ishani, do this Mansion have any back door?

She looked up at him as if coming out of a trance and nodded. Holding his hand, she looked around and moving in she brought him to the kitchen. Moving to an empty wall, she looked at it.

Aryan: What are you doing here?

Aryan said and looked at her. Keeping her hand on the wall, she removed it only to turn it out to be the curtains. Aryan looked at the door and she held his hand. Coming out they were about to move from there when they heard voices coming from the window.

Voice: Why have you called me now?

Remembering it to be of Sejal, Aryan stood there listening to their talks.

Veer: Is the work done?

He said and Aryan looked at Ishani recalling his words.

“You have to kill Arjun in that mid of the party, I don’t know how.“

Sejal: Not yet.

She said and they heard him throwing something harshly.

Veer: Why the hell not?

He groaned loudly and waited for to say something.

Sejal: It’s not easy.

She said with tensed voice.

Veer: Then for me it’s easy to press this button and then boom…

He said and disconnected the call giving her a final warning.

Veer: How did they ran away from this security? Have you’ll checked each and every corner?

Veer yelled and threw the chair back.

Voice: Yes sir, we had. No one is here. We are searching in the nearby areas of the Mansion.

They heard an unknown voice saying. Thinking it to be of his men, they ignored it.

Veer: You don’t have to. Just keep your eye on VR Mansion, as soon as the party ends. I want you to do the thing I have told you. Go and no need to stay there as soon as the work will be done and you should know your limits.

Veer said in an angry and dangerous tone. Not knowing what actually he was talking about Aryan held Ishani’s hand and pulled her with him but she stood their rooted. He turned back irritated by her behavior and saw her. Raising her hand, she pointed at something. He looked up at it.

———————————-

Veer: Then for me it’s easy to press this button and then boom…

Vansh and Kabir finally heard Veer’s voice. They looked at each other as now they had finally got to trust Sejal for telling them the exact truth. Entering in they looked at her. Sejal looked at them.

Sejal: Did you find Arjun?

She asked panicked and Vansh shook his head looking at her.

Vansh: No…Even Riddhima is missing.

He said, his last line holding anger in them.

Sejal: WHAT? I asked her to be with you. Where she can go or did Bhai…?

She said confused recalling his words.

Kabir: No…how can he be at two places. He had to be present with Aryan and Ishani. She must be here only.

Kabir said gaining a nod from Vansh.

Sejal: No he have so many bodyguards but he is not here. 

She said keeping her hand on her forehead. Moving out from there, Vansh looked at the guests. Only few were there now.

Vansh: If only few guests are here and even on the high security none of the unknown person had entered in that means Riddhima is here only even Arjun and bomb also.

He said and looked at everyone.

Vansh: We will have to search for the bomb first.

He said and left from there.

Moving through the corridors, they looked at each and every corner carefully to find if it was anywhere. Searching in the garden area, the looked through the bushes. In rooms, in the vase, every corner they ruffled out. Hiding from the guests wasn’t the easy task but they had to search it out or telling the guests will only make them worry about their safety as well.

Vansh: It’s nowhere.

He said and looked at Kabir. 

Kabir: We’ll have to search.

Kabir said and then they parted their ways. Walking through the hall, Vansh looked at the chairs carefully not to make anyone doubt about what actually he was doing. He was about to move towards another table when he felt a tug on his pants. Turning back he looked at a girl of about 7 years. Calming his racing mind, he smiling sat in front of her. She smiled seeing him.

Girl: Hii…

She said seeing him sitting in front of her.

Vansh: Hi…What happened? You want something.

He asked and kept his hands on his pants to maintain his posture. She nodded.

Girl: Arjun, Were ith he? 

He heard her lisping sound as well as her words told him of her cuteness.

Vansh: Actually, he is with his Mumma. As soon as his work will be done, I’ll ask him to come to you ok?

She nodded with a smile and moved back to her friends who were playing sitting on the table. Getting up he again started looking at everything. 

Everything halted at their places as soon as they heard a cry. Hearing a loud thud, they turned back.

———————————-

Aryan looked at the door where the bodyguards weren’t there. He took a deep breath and holding her hand moved from there. Turning back Ishani looked at the Mansion. 

Coming out they looked for any convenience to move back to VR Mansion.

Aryan: Ishani, our car….It must be there only.

She heard him and remembered of them coming from their car. Holding each other hand, they moved back to the place where they had had parked their car long time back.

Ishani: I’ll drive. You sit.

Getting in the car, Ishani started the engine. Looking back, she took the reverse gear and safely moved out from the area covered by RV Mansion.

Ishani: Why Veer bhai did this now?

She mumbled as if thinking something.

Aryan: Ishani, first let’s go to Mansion. Sejal is alone there. We have to help her.

Ishani nodded and geared up the car. They were about to take a sharp turn when a light came piercing their vision.

———————————-

Turning back, Vansh looked from where they heard the voice. Only to get another shock by seeing Arjun hanging from the railing. He looked up to see Sejal holding his hand in her tight grip.

Arjun: Chachi…Save me….

Arjun cried looking down at the ground. Although the distance between the floor and the ground wasn’t too much but still it was enough to make Arjun’s mind disturb.

Sejal: Don’t look down and try to come up.

She said and he looked up at her. Making Kabir stand there only, Vansh moved to help Sejal in saving Arjun. Holding his another arm and wrapping his arms securely under his arms. He pulled up carefully, looking at his face. Vansh saw his face covered in tears. 

Arjun: Papa…

He said whispering and immediately wrapped his tiny arms around his neck. Caressing his back, Vansh brought him to his room followed by Sejal and Kabir. Entering in the room, Vansh made him sit on the bed.

Vansh: Don’t worry… I’m here.

He said and broke the hug. Arjun looked at him lovingly and held his hand tightly. Still keeping his head on his chest, he was taking deep breath. 

Arjun: Papa woah…

Vansh heard him and looked at Sejal and Kabir sitting beside him in front of Arjun.

Arjun: Mumma…

Before he could say or they could hear anything. Everything in front of their vision blacked out. Feeling of something hitting their head made them unconscious

Voice: You wanted the surprise right?

Arjun heard a voice and didn’t said a word.

Voice: Come…I’ll give you.
