Richand Mansion
Everyone is at the dining table. Vani comes from her room. She sits beside Akash. Akash looks a bit uncomfortable but he changes his facial expression with smile. Vani smiles him back. Lakshya looks at them. Servant serves before Vani. She starts eating.
Lakshya- You woke up late.
Vani- Yeah bro, I was very tired last night. I don’t even remember when I came back home.
Lakshya- Akash brought you back. I heard you went to a long drive with him on the first night?
Vani smiles- Yes, it was fun. I haven’t gone for a long drive since I am in India. I enjoyed.
Lakshya- Just keep my sister happy like this, ok Akash?
Akash was about to eat but stops and looks at Lakshya. He smiles and says – Of course. You don’t worry.
Lakshya- Vani, last n, there have been a incident in the house. When you went outside for long drive.
Vani keeps eating- Hmm?
Lakshya- You remember our caretaker Sara, right? She was murdered.
Vani checks her phone. She answers looking at her phone.
Vani- Oh, really? You better hire a new one first. Well I have to go. I have a parlour appointment. Akash, you remember our plan, right. Pick me up at 2.
She stands up from the table and starts to leave.
Vani- Bye bro. Bye Akash.
Lakshya- Hey finish the breakfast first.
But Vani leaves. Akash looks at her. And then turns and starts eating again. He thinks – she is very weird. She just heard about a murder and she doesn’t have any reaction. She only cares about a new caretaker. If she wasn’t with me last night and I didn’t know about Tara, then I would have doubted her as the murderer. Peoples on this house is still same. They don’t care about normal people’s life. If I stay here for much longer then I might become like them.
Tara was watching all this while everyone without talking.
Tara- So Akash, finally we could met properly. Otherwise we always have met in crowd, wedding rituals. We couldn’t talk properly.
Lakshya- Yes, that’s right. I tried a lot to manage a proper meeting between you two, but sometimes you were busy, sometimes he was. Or otherwise there is a function. Everything happened so fast, I should have kept a family party or dinner type something.
Tara- It’s ok. We met now. So Akash, I don’t much about you. Lakshya says you are a good person for our Vani and I accepted it, didn’t ask much. Of course, I have gone through your details that Lakshya gave me, still I want to hear from you. Tell me, what do you do?
Akash- Well, I have a small business. I don’t dream much. That’s why never tried to expand my business.
He thinks – So that you don’t track us.
Tara- That’s great. You can join our family business then. I am not in the business though. Last it was handled by Lakshya and Vani’s father, Virat bhaiya. After that no one from the family worked. Our staff handled it. I thought Lakshya would join the company but he wanted to become a police. And there is no question for Vani. But if you are interested then you can join.
Lakshya- That’s a good idea.
Tara- But you have to dream big this time.
Akash- That won’t be a problem. But your business is big, and I have run only a small business.
Tara- Well I can say for sure that among four of us you are the one who is experienced in this field.
Lakshya- That’s great. You two have planned for lunch, right? How about I drop you at the office, you talk with everyone, get to know everyone, hang out till noon?
Akash- Sounds great.
Lakshya- Then what are we waiting for. I’m finished.
Akash- I’m too.
They starts leaving. Both of them wave at Tara. While they are going outside Tara smirks. Akash thinks while moving towards the door – Wow Tara, you did my job before I asked. You made my job easy.
Both of them leave.
Rehan and Ruhi are keeping an eye on camping spot from a distance. Sunny is standing in the middle. He is waiting for someone or something.
Rehan- We need to find out where they have hidden everyone.
Ruhi- Are you sure they are fine? Sunny and Sophia both are dangerous. They tried to kill us.
Rehan- Yes, but there are only two of them, they can’t do something to them for which the doubt would be on them. If they have done something seriously then they are foolish to stay here any longer. They would have escaped by now. But see, he is still here, waiting. They are smart enough to know that the police is on the way. Don’t you remember how they lied to you, even when they drugged you and was sure about killing by pushing you from the edge. Sunny lied to me about delivery and fooled me.
Ruhi- Rehan, if that’s right, then kidnapping the other must be a lie also.
Rehan- Maybe, but we can’t take any risks. We have to wait, make sure everyone is safe. We can’t risk a single life.
Ruhi tries to say something but stops hearing a noise. They looks on. Suddenly they sees Sophia coming from a side of the jungle. And following her, other members of the crew appears. They seems to returning from hiking. Rehan and Ruhi gets surprised. Everyone comes running noticing Sunny.
Jai- Where have you been? We have been searching everywhere for you.
Sunny- I went to search for Ruhi. What happened?
Jai- We called you so many times, we couldn’t connect your phone.
Sunny- Network problem. I came back as I missed the breakfast but I saw there is no one here. Where were you guys?
Jai- Well we found out that even you and Rehan is missing. We went to search for you two, leaving everything. Where is Rehan?
Sunny- I don’t know. I went alone. I just got to know that even he is missing. Maybe he went to search for Ruhi also.
Jai- We can’t get through his phone also.
Jai brings out his phone and called Rehan. Rehan’s phone rings. Everyone hears it. Sunny gets shocked. Ruhi and Rehan tries to silent the phone. Everyone slowly moves towards the place they are hiding. Ruhi and Rehan looks at each other. Everyone comes to the place, there is no one. One of the crew finds Rehan’s phone broken.
– Jai, look, it’s Rehan’s. And it’s broken. Rehan must be in some trouble.
Jai- We need to find him fast. We will make three teams and we will go in three direction, ok?
Rehan and Ruhi is now hiding at a different place. They see everyone making three teams and going towards thee directions. Ruhi sighs of relief.
Ruhi- For a second I thought we will get caught.
Rehan- No, we won’t. And now thanks to Jai, we have got some times. While they will be busy trying to find us, the police will be here. That Sunny fooled me big times. I should have think it through.
Ruhi- Relax, now we know everyone is safe, right? So just wait till police comes. But we are gonna need proof.
Rehan- You don’t worry about that.
At office
Lakshya- So Akash, now you know everyone, and this is our manager Mr. Roy. He will help you. He handles everything around here. I am gonna go now.
Akash and Lakshya hand shakes. Lakshya leaves. Akash turns to the manager.
Manager- This way sir.
They come to the office.
manager- This is your office, sir. You can ask me if anything is needed.
Akash- Mr Roy, since when you work here?
Manager- Around 18 years.
Akash- And no one from the family ever comes to the office?
Manager- No sir, whenever is needed we take signature of Tara ma’am. But nobody comes to the office. In fact, nobody ever came to this room till date. It’s been empty. Well now you are here, I hope our company will see good days.
Akash- What do you mean?
Manager- Sir, once this company used to be the best but now it’s not in a good condition.
Akash- Hmm. Well it’s my first day and I don’t wanna…
Manager – I understand sir. You can take your time.
The manager leaves. Akash waits for sometimes. Then he comes to a shelf, he takes out some files, there is wall. Akash presses somewhere and a part of the wall slides, there is a locker. Akash gives the password, the locker opens, inside there is money. Akash takes some. He thinks – “It’s enough to send Ruhi out of India. When she comes back at the weekend. Till then I have no tension” He locks it again and makes everything like earlier. He turns and sees a cctv camera. He freezes. Then he smiles and sits at his chair.
Richand Mansion
Tara in his room watching something in a laptop. The screen is blank. She calls someone.
Tara- I asked for the cctv footage. Why I can’t see it.
-ma’am, the camera doesn’t work since two days.
Tara- Wasn’t it your job to make sure it’s work.
-ma’am I was working on it. But you asked suddenly this morning. I didn’t get time.
Tara- What do I pay you for? Just fix it.
Tara throws the phone in anger.
Everyone is back at the camp. One team has found the burnt bus. They are talking about it. Suddenly the police arrives. They comes to Sunny and Sophia as they were standing together. Jai comes to them.
Jai- Thank god you are here officer. We need help.
Officer- We are here to arrest these two.
Jai gets surprised and Sophia and Sunny gets shocked. Before the understand anything two constables have handcuffed them.
Sunny- What did we do, what are you doing?
Officer- You two have been changed with a drug racket and
-attempted to murder.
A sound comes. Everyone looks. They get surprised to see Ruhi and Rehan. Sophia and Sunny looks as if they have seen ghost.
Sunny – Officer they are lying. You don’t have any proof. You can’t arrest us like that.
Ruhi- Oh really! Tell me something Sunny, how do you know exactly what we have told them that you are saying we are lying. I mean look at others, they don’t have any idea what is happening. But you seems to have an idea what we might have said. And that’s possible in one way. You know the truth and what we have said is also true.
Rehan- Let it go Ruhi. Why are you talking in puzzle? He wants proof, right? I will just give him that.
Rehan enters Sunny’s tent with a constable. He comes out with something in his hand.
Rehan- You see Sunny, since you two tried to kill Ruhi (everyone get’s shocked) I fixed a bug at your tent. It video record every plan you made.
Sunny’s face whiten. Ruhi comes to Sophia, slaps her.
Ruhi- This is for disrespecting our friendship.
Ruhi is sitting on a rock. Rehan is talking to the police a little far. They have told everything to everyone. Rehan comes to her.
Rehan- crazy day, right?
Ruhi smiles – crazy trip.
Rehan- It’s sad that we can’t make it beautiful now. We have to go back today.
Ruhi- What? But our plan is for a whole week.
Rehan- Yeah, but this case is mainly from Mumbai. Police have interrogate Sophia and Sunny, whoever was the supplier here, got caught. But the main racket is in Mumbai. They are just a part of it. Someone from college could be still part of the racket. And apart from college, there is a big gang. The police asked us to go back today itself.
Ruhi- Well, this play was part of our final day, and we planned this trip for celebrating our college time last time. There is nothing more for me in the college.
Rehan sits down beside her. He thinks – For me also.
Ruhi- I will make you meet my brother.
Rehan- Will he, you know?
Ruhi- It’s going to be alright. Don’t worry.
Ruhi places her head on Rehan’s shoulder. They looks on.
Next ep- Ruhi comes to her house with Rehan. She sees everything is destroyed there.
