मतलब कुछ और ढूँढना पड़ेगा , जैसे की आज के ज़माने के देशी नामNaam to phir bhi thik thak hai lekin " Devi " thik nahi hai. Bujurg ya pujniy mahila jaisa pratit hota hai.
शानदार लाजवाब अपडेट भाईUpdate - 24 ~ Take CareAb tak...
Veer ne Juhi ko bed pe litaaya hi tha ki...
*Ding*
[Mission ~ Go on a date with Nidhi has been completed.]
[30 points have been rewarded.]
'Huh!? Wait.... Whaaaaaaaaaaaatttt!?'
Ab aage...
'You are kidding right!?'
Veer ne hairaani me Pari se pucha. Usse yakeen hi nahi ho raha tha ki Nidhi ke saath date pe jaane waala mission itni asaani se ho chuka tha.
'This can't be... Pari!! Ye date thi!? We just had lunch... I mean...'
[Master! But sach toh yahi hai ki mission ho chuka hai. Uska reason maybe ye ho sakta hai ki shayad Nidhi ke mann me wese vichaar aaye the jab wo aapke saath lunch kar rahi thi. Maybe she was thinking about date and all... Isliye, ye mission complete hua. Otherwise nahi hota.]
'Nidhi ma'am was thinking about date...!? Ab jab tum ne ye kaha hai toh mujhe yaad aa raha hai ki unhone bataya tha ki wo kabhi date pe nahi gayi. Aur na hi mein. Does that counts as a first date for both of us?'
[Yes!]
'Well... I can't believe ki meri pehli date Nidhi Ma'am ke saath hui... Ye toh sapne jesa tha. Also, I got 30 points.'
[Do you want to invest master!?]
'Hmm! But mein soch raha hu koi skills lii jae. Kya kehti ho?'
[Mein yahi suggest karungi ki aap pehle apne saare stats atleast 50 tak kare. Appearance utna important nahi hai but baaki sabhi important hai. Uske baad hi aap skills par dhyaan de. But marzi aapki hai, aap chaahe toh shop me se skills dekh sakte hai. But aapko yaad hai na? Skills ki minimum keemat 50 points hai.]
'I know... Shop open karo.'
Aur Veer ke kehte hi uske mann me ek window khul gayi aur ek search bar saamne aa gaya.
'Ye search bar hatao mujhe poori skill list dikhao.'
Aur uske bolte hi saamne skills ki lambi chaudi list haazir ho gayi.
[Basic Subjects Learning.
Basic Martial Arts.
Basic Singing Talent.
Basic Dancing Talent.
Basic Cooking.
.
.
.
.
.
.
]
Na jaane kitni saari basic ki skillls thi jo uski shop me available ho chuki thi.
'Itni saari Pari!? Ye sab basics hai!? Hmm! Level badhega toh aur acchi skills bhi unlock hoti jaengi hai na!?'
[Yes master! I'm currently at level 3.]
'Hmm! Ye saari skills wese toh... Inme se kuch mujhe lagengi but... I don't want to waste my points on them. Iss se accha hai ki mein stats me hi lagau abhi points.'
[That is the actual way master. Pehle stats par dhyaan dijiye.]
'Alright! Pari! Show me my stats.'
[There you go master...]
[ Stats :
Strength - 50/100
Intelligence - 35/100
Agility - 15/100
Endurance - 15/100
Appearance - 22/100]
'Meri agility aur endurance boht kam hai. Hmm! Pari...! Dono me 15-15 points add kar do.'
[Are you sure master!?]
'Hmm! Last time... Uss Ranga naam ke ladke se fight karte waqt I had a hard time... Mujhe speed aur dard sehne ki shamta, dono hi aur chahiye.'
[Okay!]
*Ding*
[15 points have been added to agility.
15 points have been added to endurance.]
''Good!'

Raat ka samay ho chuka tha aur Veer aur baaki sabhi khaana khaa chuke the. Din me jo kuch bhi Rajat ke ghar hua tha usse abhi tak wo bhula nahi paaye the.
Juhi bed pe lait so chuki thi aur bechaari apni chocolate khaana bhi bhul gayi thi. Uske bagal se baithi Nidhi uske sarr par pyaar se haath ferr rahi thi aur soch rahi thi...
Ki Veer ne usse aur baaki sab ko kese bachaaya tha. Kitna accha moment tha wo. Abhi wo inhi khayalaato me apne hontho pe muskaan liye ghum thi ki tabhi uska mobile vibrate hua aur kisi ka message aaya.
Aur message padhte hi uske hontho se muskaan gaayab ho gayi. Wo hadbada ke uthi aur apne phone ko apni mutthi me kass lii...
Screen par likhe shabd usse bhali bhaati dikh rahe the...
"Tumhe kya laga tumne aaj jo bhi karwaya, wo sab karwaane ke baad mein bas baithe baithe dekhta rahunga!? Bataata hu tumhe meri darling Nidhi. Bataata hu... Acche se.... Aur uss Veer naam ke ladke ko bhi dekh lunga. Kuch zyada hi close lag rahe ho tum dono... Tumhari himmat kese hui Nidhi mere alaawa kisi aur ke saath itna close aane ki? Lagta hai tumhe kadi punishment deni padegi meri darling... Hai na!?"
Ye message kisi aur ka nahi balki uske pati, Rajat ka tha.
Nidhi chinta ke maare uthi aur apne kamre me hi ird gird tehalne lagi...
'Hey bhagwaan! Ye kya ho gaya! Mujhe pata tha zaroor kuch na kuch karega wo... Ab Veer bhi beech me aa gaya hai... Nooooo! Aisa kuch bhi nahi hona chaahiye tha... This is so bad... Kya karuuu!??? Veer ko nahi aana chaahiye tha waha...'
Wo sochte hue achanak hi baahar nikal ke aati hai, jaha Veer sofe pe hi baitha hua tha...
Nidhi : Veer!
Veer : Hmm? Kya hua Ma'am!?
Nidhi : Veer... Tum college me the na? Who called you there? Kya Shreya thi!? Kya usne tumhe bulaaya tha? Tum dono saath me nahi aaye the, hai na? Tell me...
Veer : Ohh! Haa! Unhone mujhe bulaaya tha call kar ke... Koi problem hai kya!?
Nidhi : Veer... You don't understand Veer... Boht badi problem create ho chuki hai... Tumhaare waha aane se... Nooooo! It's not going well at all... Tumhe waha nahi aana chahiye tha... This is so bad...
Wo tezz saasein lete hue ekdum hi tensed ho gayi.
Veer : Ma'am calm down. Aur mere waha aane se accha hi toh hua na? I mean... Aapke wo husband... Na jaane aur kya karte aapke saath...
Nidhi : No Veer... Tumhaare aane se maamla aur bhi bigad gaya hai... Mein nahi chaahti thi tum kahi se bhi iss matter me aao... But ab tum aa chuke ho... And he'll definitely do something... Ohhh god!!
Veer : Ma'am chill! Mere aane se hi he couldn't do anything else... Aur kyu na aau mein!? Aap meri Ma'am hai... Yadi aapke saath aisa koi behave karega toh...
Nidhi (uchi awaaz me) : Because it's my personal matter Veer...
Veer : I know Ma'am but... Aise aapke saath wo sab... Akhir mein kese dekh sakta hu? Even if he's your husband... Kam se kam unhe...
Veer ne Nidhi ko samjhaane ka prayaas kiya par uske bol iss waqt Nidhi ko calm karne ki jagah ulta aur tension me daal rahe the.
Nidhi (chillaate hue) : Noooo Veer!!!! Kyu aaoge tum beech me!?? Tumhe nahi aana tha waha... Tumhe nahi hona chaahiye tha waha pe... It's my personal matter... Toh bhala kyu aaoge mere aur mere husband ke beech me?? Kya hi lagte ho tum!??
Nidhi ne ye sab bol toh diya...
Par agle hi pal...
Uska muh khula ka khula reh gaya. Usse jese dhyaan aaya ki usne ye kya keh diya.
Nidhi : V... Veer?
Veer (smiles) : Ah! Right! Kya hi lagta hu mein aapka!? Haha~ I forgot... Mein... Mein bhi... Kese bhul gaya...!? Ki koi nahi hai mera... Gharwalo ne nikaal diya... Still I keep thinking ki... Right! Right! Sorry... Really sorry...
Bina Nidhi se nazre milaaye, Veer furti me palat ke hall ke gate ki taraf jaata hai, aur gate khol ke tezz kadmo ke saath baahar nikal jaata hai.
Nidhi : Noooo.... Veeeeerrrr! Mera wo matlab nahi tha... Wait! Veeeeerrrr!!? Kaha jaa rahe ho!?? Veeerrr?? Tum jaante ho Veer... Mera wo matlab nahi tha... Please! Listen to me... Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai jesa tum soch rahe ho... Veeeeerrrrr...
Nidhi daudati bhaagti hui Veer ke peeche peeche bhaagi par tab tak Veer already lift me ghus chuka tha aur lift band kar wo neeche pohuchte jaa raha tha.
Nidhi upar hi apni floor par khade apna sarr pakad rone lagi. Ye kya kar diya usne pal bhar me!?
Fir jese usse kuch dhyaan me aaya toh wo floor ke hi coridorr ki taraf bhaagi jaha se neeche ka saara drishya dikhta hai.
Neeche jese hi usne dekha toh paaya ki Veer society se baahar nikal ke kahi jaa raha hai.
"Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrr!"
Nidhi se jitna ho sakta tha utna usne apna gala faadte hue chillaaya. Par Veer ke kaano me jese juu tak na rengi. Wo bina kuch kahe, bina peeche mude bas nikalta gaya.
Nidhi bhaagte hue waapas se apne flat me aayi, uske chehre par shikan, chinta aur ghabraahat teeno hi maujood thi. Saath hi saath unn ankho me aasuo ki boonde athwa glaani bhi...
Andar aate hi usse Shreya nazar aayi. Wo aise khadi thi jese maano uska hi wait kar rahi ho...
Shreya : Ab pachhta rahi ho aap...!?
Nidhi : Shreya... Veer... Wo...
Shreya : Hmm! Suna mene andar se kya hua.
Nidhi forun hi aage badh Shreya ke haatho ko bheench leti hai,
Nidhi (cries) : You know it Shreya... Right!? You know na? Mera wo matlab nahi tha... Mein kabhi bhi uss se wo nahi kehna chaahti thi... Aur na hi kabhi kehna chahungi... I just... Pata nahi kese...Wo sab nikal gaya mere muh se... Shreya... Veer... Kaha gaya hoga? Please! Bulao usse... I must explain to him... Na jaane kitna bura laga hoga usse meri baato ka... I never meant to say that to him... Abhi abhi toh wo ubharna shuru kiya tha and I... Please...! Shreyaaaa
Shreya ko jhanjhorte hue Nidhi uss se vinti karne lagi. Bechaari Nidhi ki ye haalat dekh... Shreya apni bauhe sikode mann me keval ek hi shaks ko gaali diye jaa rahi thi.
Rajat...
'It's all because of that damn fucker...'
Shreya : Isliye kehti hu aap se Dii. Tension zyaada mat liya karo...
Nidhi (cries) : Kese na lu tension Shreya? Kese na lu?? Mera baccha Dhruv... Mere aalingan se koso dur hai... Tadapti hu mein usse dekhne bhar ke liye. Veer ne aaj aake meri madad hi kii thi, uska koi galat intention nahi tha... Still I... Dekho mene kya keh daala usse Shreya... Mene uske puraane zakhmo pe jese namak chidak diya... Ye kaam kiya hai mene... He must be so hurt... Kyuuuu!?? Kyu meri life me itni problems aati hai Shreya!? Kyuuu?? Kyuu?? Thak gayi hu mein Shreya... Thak gayi hu... Problems pe problems...
Shreya (frowns) : Diii...
Nidhi (cries) : I hate this life... Shreya... Kyu...!?? Kya mujhe khush rehna ka haq nahi hai Shreya!? Yadi nahi hai toh kyuuu?? Kyu bhagwaan mere saath aisa karta hai? Mein jitna accha karti hu... Utna hi bura hota chala jaata hai mere saath... I... I...
Aur agle hi pal uske thar tharaate honth daato tale dabb gaye aur wo zorr zorr se bilakhte hue rone lagti hai. Shreya usse apni baaho me kheench uski peeth sehlaate hue usse chup karaane lagi. Na jaane kab se itna sab kuch bhare hue thi Nidhi apne andar. Aur aaj saari rulaayi jese baahar aa rahi thi.
Shreya : Don't worry! Lo... Aapke saamne mein usse call lagaati hu okay!?
Nidhi kisi bacchi ki tarah haa me apna sarr hilaate hue ek aas leke Shreya ko dekhne lagti hai.
Aur Shreya idhar Veer ko phone lagaati hai. Kuch derr baat karne ke baad hi wo phone cut karti hai aur Nidhi ko waapas se dekhti hai.
Nidhi : K... Kya bola usne!? Aa raha hai na? Kidhar hai??
Shreya : Chill! He just went out for a walk.
Nidhi : So... He'll come right!?
Shreya : Of course!
Aur uska jawaab sunn iss baar Nidhi ek chenn ki saas leti hai.
Par uska ye chenn bhi jese kuch derr baad chinn gaya jab kayi ghanto tak Veer nahi lauta.
Raat ke 11:30 baj chuke the aur Veer ka koi ata pata nahi tha. Nidhi baar baar Shreya se usse call lagaane bolti, aur khud bhi lagaati par iss baar Veer ne kisi ke call ka jawaab nahi diya aur uska ye karna Nidhi ko aur bhi zyaada tension me daal raha tha.
Na jaane kese kese vichaar aa rahe the Nidhi ke mann me. Kahi uska firse accident na ho gaya ho? Kahi wo galat jagah toh nahi jaa raha hai? Tension ke chalte wo bechaari wo sab bhi sochne lagi jo usse bilkul bhi nahi sochna chaahiye tha.
Shreya : Aap so jaaiye... Wo aa jaega... Mein jaag rahi hu... Aaega toh mein lock laga dungi.
Nidhi : Mein kese so sakti hu abhi...
Shreya : Mene kaha na... So jaiye... Andar Juhi baar baar uth rahi hai. Din me jo bhi hua uss se wo darr gayi hai shayad. Aap uske bagal se lait ke soiye toh usse neend sahi se aaegi... Mene abhi takiya rakh diya hai uske bagal se but fir bhi wo beech beech me jhatka leke uth jaati hai aur fir roti hai...
Nidhi : Hmm... Par...
Shreya : Mene kaha na... Mein idhar hi hu.
Nidhi : Hmm!
Aur Shreya ki baat maante hue Nidhi apne bedroom me Juhi ke saath sone chali jaati hai. Bechaini me usse neend nahi aa rahi thi, par pankhe ki mand mand hawa aur thakaan ke chalte uski aankhein kuch derr baad band ho hi gayi.
***
Samay 12:15 ho chuka tha aur Shreya abhi tak jaag rahi thi.
Ki tabhi achanak hi door ko baahar se Veer ne dhakka diya aur wo andar aaya.
Andar aate hi uske kaano me awaaz padi,
"So!? How was your walk??"
Veer ne palat ke dekha toh paaya Shreya haath me haath baandhe deewaar se tike khade hue thi maano uska hi wait kar rahi ho.
Veer : Good... I guess?
Shreya : You know ki dii ka wo matlab nahi tha right?
Veer : Of course.
Shreya : She... Wo boht hi critical situation me hai. Khaaskar mentally...
Veer : Mein dekh sakta hu.
Shreya : So yeah... Unka tumhe hurt karne ka koi maksad nahi tha... Wo aisa kabhi kisi ke saath nahi karti...
Veer : Yeah! I... I know that.
Shreya : You were right.
Veer : Hmm?
Shreya : Yadi tum nahi aate toh wo bhediya na jaane kya kya aur kar sakta tha dii ke saath.
Veer : Mene wahi kiya, jo mujhe uss waqt sahi laga tha.
Shreya : I know. Mein jaanti hu. Aur mein ye nahi keh rahi ki tum galat ho. Mein bas ye kehna chaah rahi hu ki, Tum dii ko galat mat samajhna bas kabhi.
Veer : Ma'am ko mein kabhi galat nahi maanta.
Shreya : She have her reasons.
Veer : ....
Shreya : You know... Kyu wo tumhe itna sab keh gayi? Wo nahi chaahti thi ki tumhe koi nuksaan pohuche ya koi problem aaye. Tumhaare waha aane se ab uss aadmi ki nazar tumpe bhi hai.
Veer : ....
Shreya : Veer! Wo chaah ke bhi kuch nahi kar sakti. Majboor hai woh. Tum yahi soch rahe hoge ki kyu wo itna sab bardaasht kar rahi hai!? Right!?
Veer : I... Hmm...
Shreya : Uske peeche kayi saare kaaran hai. Mujhe pehle laga nahi tha ki... Mein tumpe trust kar sakti hu. But aaj jo kuch bhi hua... Uske baad se...
Kehte hue Shreya achanak hi uske kareeb aayi aur uska haath thaam lii.
Veer : ??
Shreya : I... I trust you now. Isliye... I'll tell you...
Veer : Hmm?
Shreya : Dii majboor hai Veer. Wo Rajat... He's a maniac Veer... A Maniac... Paagal insaan hai woh. Ek sadist hai woh.
Veer : He... What!?
Shreya : Hmm! Bataati hu... Ye baat lagbhag 4 saal puraani hai Veer. Dii ki nayi nayi shaadi hui thi. Sab kuch accha chal raha tha. Uske baad Juhi hui... Aur... Uske baad se hi uss aadmi ka ravaiyya badal gaya... Usse hamesha se ek ladka chahiye tha... Uske pita nahi hai, keval maa aur wo hi hai. Usse bas ek ladka chaahiye tha taaki wo santusht ho jaaye... Juhi ke ho jaane se... Jese ek dhakka sa laga tha dono maa bete ko...
Veer : Aaj ke zamaane me aisi thinking...!?
Shreya : Hoti hai Veer... Hoti hai... Log itne saare hai duniya me... Sab kuch possible hai. Juhi ke hone ke baad se hi... Wo dii ko itna prataadit karna shuru kar diya. Shuru me kam tha... Par dheere dheere... Aur fir jab Dhruv hua... Toh usne jese Juhi ko pyaar dena hi band kar diya... Dii iska virodh karti... Par badle me keval unhe maar milti ya prataadit kiya jaata...
Veer : Toh police me...!?
Shreya : Nahi kar sakte... Pehli baat... Wo khud ek lawyer hai. Itna dabdaba hai uska, kaha nahi hai uski pehchaan!? Dusri baat, 3 saal pehle Dad ka jab accident hua tha toh urgent paiso ki madad usne hi kii thi. Mere bade bhaiya ki naukri bhi ussi ne lagwaayi hai. Abhi kuch hafte pehle jab Mom ko heart attack aaya tha tab usne bhi kaafi paise diye the...
Veer : Ye...
Shreya : Yes! Meri mom ek housewife rahi hai shuru se, Dad keval ek private company me kaam karte rahe. Upar se do ladkiya aur ek ladka. Kya hi savings kar paenge wo!? Jitna kuch kiya, wo shaadi me nikal gaya. Aur fir aaj ki mehngaayi aur... Upar se uss darinde ka karz...
Veer : Toh..!?
Shreya : Isliye... Isliye Veer... Dii ke liye ye job boht important hai. Wo paise save kar rahi hai, na sirf uss darinde ko lautaane ke liye balki...
Veer : Balki...!?
Shreya ek jhoothi muskuraahat dete hue boli,
Shreya : Balki apne bacche Dhruv ko waapas se apne paas laane ke liye.
Veer : Huh!?
Shreya : Tumne din me Dii ke pait me wo wax ke tukde toh dekhe hi honge. Yahi hai uss haivaan ki sacchaayi. Jab uss Rajat ne dii ko boht hi kasht dena shuru kar diya tab Dii ne thaan liya ki wo divorce dengi usse aur akele apna jeevan vyateet karengi keval apne baccho ke saath par...
Veer : Par!?
Shreya (glances) : Par jese ye hona mumkin nahi tha. Vakeel giri ke dao pench lagaate hue usne Dhruv ko apne paas rakh liya, ye kehke ki uske ghar me koi santaan nahi hai. Aage uski maa ka dhyaan kaun rakhega!? Par dii nahi maani aur adi rahi, toh usne ek shart rakh dii...
Veer : ?
Shreya : Ki... Yadi Dii ka bank balance 50 lakh pohuchta hai, uss din hi wo Dhruv ko waapas se Dii ke paas lauta dega. Usne ye shart rakhi ki uske bacche ki parvarish ekdum acche se honi chaahiye. Aur parvarish ke liye kya lagta hai!? Paisa...!? Toh yadi dii ka bank balance 50 lakh hoga, tabhi wo Dhruv ko lautaega... Aur isliye... Isliye dii... Paise save karti hai... Ek hope me... Ek hope me...
Veer apni nazre neeche kiye sab sunn raha tha. Par usse sunaayi diya... Ki achanak hi Shreya ki awaaz me thar-tharaahat aa chuki hai. Aur usne jese hi nazre upar kar Shreya ko dekha toh paaya ki...
Uska chehra aasuo se bheegta jaa raha tha. Veer ka muh halka khula reh gaya jab achanak agle hi pal Shreya aage badh uske gale se lag gayi...
Shreya (cries) : She's living with a false hope Veer... Ek jhoothi aas leke jee rahi hai woh... She knows... Unhe pata hai Veer... Mujhe bhi pata hai... Mom Dad Bhaiya bhabhi sabhi ko pata hai ki... Ek saal ke andar wo kabhi bhi 50 lakh ikhatta nahi kar sakti... Kabhi nahi... Abhi abhi toh badi mushqil se unhone uss aadmi ka karz chukaaya hai... Still...
Veer ne haule se uski peeth par haath rakha...
Shreya : Wo bas issi jhoothi aas leke jee rahi hai... Ki ek saal me wo paisa ikhatta karke apne Dhruv ko waapas le aaengi... Hum sabhi unhe... Unhe saantvana dete hai ki sab kuch theek ho jaega... But... Deep down... Deep down we know Veer... Ki kuch sahi nahi hone waala...
Bilakhte hue wo Veer ki baaho me usse kass ke thaame rone lagti hai...
Shreya (cries) : It hurts me to see her like that... Dii virodh nahi kar sakti... Warna wo aadmi mere bhaiya ki naukri bhi hatwa dega aur pata nahi kya kya karega!? Kuch bhi aarop laga sakta hai woh. I hate myself... Ek mein hi hu jo useless hu... Mein padhaayi me shuru se hi acchi nahi thi. Ekdum gadhi hu mein... Haha~Hai na!? Toh naukri pe kabhi dhyaan hi nahi diya...
Veer ko ab sab samajh aa raha tha...
Ki kitna hi bikhra parivaar tha Nidhi ka bhi...
Aur kitna hi tooti hui thi Nidhi bhi aur Shreya bhi...
Bilkul ussi ki tarah...
Usne Shreya ko dekha jo nakli muskaan aur aankho me aasu liye uss se chipki hui thi. Veer jese sab kuch padh paa raha tha.
Shreya ke agle bol ne usse jese hosh me laaya,
"So yeah! Thank you Veer! Thank you for saving her today."
Nidhi ka dhyaan aate hi usse jese ab realize hua...
Aaj din me wo hotel jaate time jab usne kaha tha, 'Ye hotel kaafi mehngi lag rahi hai.'
Par Nidhi 'It's okay bol ke usse saath me le gayi thi.'
Wo toh paise save kar rahi thi. Fir kyu kiya usne ye sab uske liye!? Kyu laayi wo usse apne ghar me!?
Uske kapde, uska khaana peena, usse apni gaadi me college le jaana, kya nahi kar rahi thi woh...
"Tum chalo Veer. Tum... Tum mere saath rahoge."
"Aaj hum special dinner karenge...!"
"Veer!? Tumhara wo... *Blushes* kapde ka size kya hai!?"
"Padhaayi mat chorrna kabhi Veer okay!?"
"Kya hua Veer!? Koi pasand aa gayi kya? Fufu~"
Ek ek karke Nidhi ke saath guzaare pal aur uski baatein Veer ke dil-o-dimaag me ghumne lagi.
Aur na chaahte hue bhi, uske aasu nikal hi aaye.
Bina kuch bataaye Nidhi uss ke liye itna sab kuch kar rahi thi. Kitni tooti hui thi wo andar se. Usse toh bas ek pyaar karne waala vyakti chaahiye tha jo usse apni baaho me bhar ke rakhe aur usse khoob pyaar de. Par usse mila kya? Aadmi ke naam pe ek haivaan.
Ye jaante hue bhi ki paisa kitna important hai uske kiye iss waqt. Jaha aise samay me aadmi ek ek rupaye tak bachaaye aur dusre par kharch na kare. Waha Nidhi Veer ko apne saath rakh rahi thi. Uski harr zaroorat mand cheezo ko dhyaan rakh rahi thi.
Ye sochte hi Veer khud ko rone se na rok paaya. Aur ab... Usse glaani se bhare bhaav aana shuru ho chuke the.
Shreya ke bol usse jese firse hosh me laaye,
"Chalo... Boht ro liya ab... Jao! Jaake araam karo. And don't tell her ki mene tumhe sab bataaya hai. Maarengi warna wo mujhe haha~ Okay!?"
Apna sarr haa me hilaate Veer wahi khada raha aur Shreya usse wahi chorr Nidhi ke bedroom me chali gayi.
Veer ahista ahista aage badha aur wo darwaaze ki dehleez pe hi khade Shreya, Juhi aur Nidhi ko dekh raha tha, jinke chehre night bulb ki roshni me chamak rahe the. Wo dekh paa raha tha, Nidhi ke masoom chehre ke peeche chhupe kasht aur peeda ko.
Agle pal hi wo waha se nikla aur apne bistar pe chala gaya.
***
Subah hui aur Nidhi ki neend aaj kuch derr se khuli kyuki kal ki thakaan ne usse aaj jaldi uthne hi nahi diya. Uthate hue usne nazre daudaayi toh dekha Juhi uske bagal me laiti hui thi aur Juhi ke hi bagal se Shreya Iaiti hui thi jo kaafi gehri neend me lag rahi thi.
Abhi wo apni aankhein mal hi rahi thi ki usse kal ki hui ghatna ke baare me yaad aaya...
Aur fir Veer ke baare me...
Aur ye dhyaan me aate hi wo forun furti me uthi aur tezz kadmo ke saath baahar aayi,
"Veeeeeeerrrr!?"
Usne awaaz lagayi par...
Hall me koi nazar nahi aaya. Wo bauhe sikodte hue kitchen ki orr gayi.
Par udhar bhi koi naza nahi aaya...
Usne bathroom check kiya. Par udhar bhi Veer ka koi ata pata nahi mila.
'Wait!? Kal wo aaya bhi tha ya nahi...!?'
Ye soch Nidhi forun hi andar Shreya ke paas gayi aur usse tatolte hue uske kaan me awaaz lagaate hue puchi,
"Shreya!? Shreya!? Ooo shreya!? Sunn! Sunn jaldi... Kal Veer ghar aaya tha na!?"
Shreya jo neend me hi thi wo bas hmm karke Nidhi ko jawaad deti hai.
Nidhi : Toh kaha gaya!? Wo baahar nahi hai...
Shreya (neend me) : Hoga wahi kahi...
Uski ye baat sunn Nidhi ek baar fir baahar jaati hai par koi nahi dikhta tabhi uski nazar table par padti hai. Jaha ek kaagaz rakha hua tha aur uske upar paper weight rakha hua tha.
Apne ghabraaye mann ko niyantrit kar wo aage badh paper ko uthaati hai aur usme likhi gayi likhawat uski nazro me padti hai,
'Ma'am! Yadi aap ye padh rahi ho toh sabse pehle mujhe maaf kar dena, kal ke liye. Aapka gussa hona laazmi tha aur aapne jo kuch bhi kaha wo gusse me kaha tha. Aapki unn baato ka mene bilkul bhi bura nahi maana hai. Aap nishchint rahiye. Mujhe maaf kar dena jo mein immaturity dikhaate hue ghar se yu nikal gaya tha. Aapne mere liye itna kar diya hai ki...ki ab ek chhat ke neeche rehne me mujhe glaani mehsoos hoti hai. Aapke halaato aur poori kahani ke baare me mein jaan gaya hu. Shreya ji ko mat daatiyega, unhone mujhe wo sab batana zaroori samjha isliye bataaya tha shayad.
Aapne mere liye kya nahi kiya!? Jitna apne nahi karte aapne wo kiya mere liye. Mein ye kabhi nahi bhulunga. Par... Par ab mein aapke saath reh ke aapki pareshaani ab aur nahi badhaana chaahta Ma'am. Mera antarmann ab ye sach jaan'ne ke baad kabhi bhi aise mujhe rehne nahi dega... Isliye... Isliye I'm going now... Thank you so much Ma'am, jo kuch bhi aapne mere liye kiya. And I promise iska ten times mein aapko lautaunga.
Aur haa! Haha~ kal bechaari Juhi chocolate khaaye bina hi so gayi thi. Mein apni chocolate bhi uske liye chorr ke jaa raha hu. Fridge me hai woh. Uss se kehna ki uske Veer maamu uske liye ek din boht badi chocolate ki factory khulwaenge.
Shreya jii ko mera thanks kehna. For telling me the truth. And lastly...
Aap wese hi muskuraaya karo... Acchi lagti ho aap.
And Ma'am...
Take Care!'
Ye padhte hi Nidhi ki aankho se aasu behna shuru ho gaye aur wo wahi baithi sisak sisak ke rone lagi.

Kuch derr ke intezaar ke baad hi unhe andar jaane ke kiye allowed kar diya gaya.
Aur jese hi woh andar pohuche...
Natalia wahi baithi hui thi. Ek table ke paas ek seat par. Dinner yahi hona tha.
Usne teeno ko aate hue dekha aur bas ek halki sii muskaan ke saath boli,
"Welcome!!! Have a seat!!!"
Ab aage...
Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino,
Downtown, Las Vegas.
Night ~ 11:38 PM
Ye thi Downtown ki kaafi mashoor hotel me se ek, Golden Nugget Hotel.
Jidhar casinos ka bhi prabandh tha. Andar ka nazaara bhi ekdum khubsoorat tha. Hotel cheekh cheekh ke ye batlaa rahi thi ki kitna paisa laga hua tha usme.
Aur issi aalishaan hotel ke VIP area me, food court me baithi hui thi Natalia. Concert ke baad dinner ka plan tha jo ki usne Divya ke sang rakha hua tha. Downtown me hi uska concert hua tha. Aur udhar par hi ye hotel bhi maujood thi. Toh samay ki bachat aur nazdeeki ke liye Natalia ne apna reservation iss hotel me karwa liya tha.
Divya, Suhana aur Veer ko jab baahar se permission mili tab jaa kar woh andar VIP area me pravesh kiye.
Aur andar aate hi, Natalia ne unhe baithne ke liye kaha. Uski nazre saamne khade teeno log par gadi hui thi.
"Welcome! Have a seat!"
Ek halki muskaan ke saath woh boli. Par apni jagah se woh tass se mass nahi hui. Suhana ki bauhe upar chadh uthi Natalia ke iss ravaiyye ko dekh. Toh uska andaaza sahi tha matlab.
Natalia uss muqaam par aa chuki thi jaha ab woh Suhana aur baaki sab ke liye khade hokar unka swaagat bhi nahi karne waali thi.
'What changed you so much?' Mann me Suhana ne khud se sawaal kiya.
Parantu, usne kuch bola nahi. Teeno Natalia ke saamne maujood chairs par virajmaan ho gaye.
Divya : So? What's the matter?
Divya ne seedhe seedhe hi puch liya. Akhir aisi kya baat ho gayi thi jo itni badi star Natalia ne khud usse call kar ke usse bulaaya? Saaf tha ki kisi investigation se sambandhit hi kaam tha. Par kya?
Natalia : Let's have our dinner first. You guys must be starving too. Order anything you want.
Divya : Ohhh!
Natalia ne pehle dinner karne ka faisla liya. Aur waqai iss baat se Divya bhi sehmat thi. Concert me baithe baithe bhook toh unn sabhi ko lag aayi thi. Pehle pait pooja fir kaam dooja waali baat unhe sahi lagi.
Aur sabhi waha lazeez khaane par toot pade.
Natalia khaate samay kisi se baat nahi kar rahi thi. Uska poora dhyaan apne khaane par tha. Jis kaaran se Divya aur Suhana ne bhi apni bolti band kar lii. Wahi Veer pal pal apni nazre utha ke Natalia ko dekhta. Paas se toh aur bhi qayamat lag rahi thi woh. Natalia ne bas ek hi nazar daali thi Veer pe, uske baad se usne Veer ko nahi dekha jese maano woh usme ekdum uninterested thi.
Toh wahi Suhana bhi pal do pal Natalia ko chori chhipe dekhti, mann me uske dherr saare sawaal uth rahe the. Natalia uske saath aisa behave kyu kar rahi thi? Kahi aisa toh nahi ki woh usse bhul gayi ho? Suhana ek bhaari chinta me doobi hui thi.
Aur ant me akhir waali kursi par Divya ke maathe par bhi silvatein chhayi hui thi. Khaana toh woh kha rahi thi, par uska dhyaan khaane par kam aur Natalia ne usse kyu bulaaya uss par zyada tha.
Natalia aur Divya ek dusre ko jaante the. Natalia jaanti thi ki Divya Suhana ki dost hai aur ek private detective hai Vegas me. Balki, Sonia aur Kaera bhi ye baat jaanti thi. Yaha tak ki bachpan me hi woh sabhi Divya se mili chuki thi. Akhir Divya aur Suhana school, college se hi ek saath the.
Jab sabhi ka khaana peena ho gaya toh Divya se aur raha na gaya.
Apne baalo ke bun ko khol, usne hawa me apni kaali zulfe lehraayi aur kursi par adab ke saath baithate hue boli,
Divya : Dinner is done. What's the deal now?
Suhana : Right? Such a big celebrity Miss Natalia Martin. Why did you call us poor souls here?
Suhana ne ek taunt maara. Bhala hum jese gareeb logo ki kya zaroorat pad gayi inn maharani sahiba ko? Woh nakli muskaan ke saath Natalia ko chidhaane ke liye boli.
Natalia : Call me Nat!
Suhana : Ohhh! I thought 'Ava' would be much preferred by you!? Hmm?
Uske muh se 'Ava' shabd nikalte hi Natalia ke maathe par lakeerein chhaa gayi aur uski aankhein Suhana ko ghoor kar dekhne lagi.
Natalia : Nat! I prefer Nat!!! Your mood is off! Looks like you didn't enjoy my show.
Aur iss baar ek waar yaha se Natalia ne kiya. Uska kehna tha ki Suhana ne lagta hai uska show enjoy nahi kiya isliye kaafi bekaar mood me thi.
Suhana : Huh?
Iske pehle ki dono ke beech koi yuddh shuru hota...
Veer : Ahem...!
Veer ke beech me awaaz karte hi sabhi ki nazre uss par tik gayi. Aur Divya ko tabhi dhyaan aaya,
Woh Veer ke daayi orr baithi hui thi. Veer ke kandhe par haath rakh Natalia ko samjhaate hue woh boli,
Divya : Right! This is Veer. Veer! She's Natalia. Sonia's childhood friend.
Veer ne nod karte hue haath aage badhaaya toh Natalia ne bhi haath aage kar uska haath thaama aur handshake kiya.
Haath aapas me sparsh hote hi...
'Soft...!'
[Hehe~ ]
Natalia : Nice to meet you!
Veer : It's a pleasure!
Divya : Also... You know what?
Natalia : Hmm?
Divya (smiles) : He's a mutual friend of Sonia and Kaera.
*Silence*
Divya ki baat sunte hi Nat ki aankho me pal bhar ke liye jese ek chamak sii aayi. Usne Veer ko punaah ghoora aur ek halki muskaan uske hontho par sajj gayi.
Veer : Umm... About concert. The way you started...
Natalia (smiles) : Hindi aati hai mujhe! Hum Hindi me baat kar sakte hai. Just because I'm half white doesn't mean I have forgotten my native language. In fact, I prefer Hindi more than English.
Veer : Ah!! I see!
Veer ye nahi bhul sakta tha. Thodi derr pehle hi usne Nat ko check kiya tha. Concert ke dauraan. Tab usne dekha tha...
*Ding*
[Name : Ava Martin
Stage/Alias Name : Natalia Martin
Age : 26
Status : Singer/ Businesswoman/ Celebrity
Bio : Ava Martin! Jayesh aur Grace Martin ki eklauti beti. Aur Sonia, Kaera ki childhood friend. Pita hindustani the. Par dedh saal pehle hi unka dehaant ho gaya. Grace Martin head injury ke chalte coma me hai. Maa ke prati Ava ka sabse zyaada jhukaav raha hai. Aur isliye woh apna naam apni maa ke surname ke saath poora karti hai. Unhi ke liye woh gaati hai, Grace hi uska sab kuch hai ab. Pita ki maut ke baad usne singing ki duniya me qadam rakha. Aur dedh saal me hi usne khud ka label 'Blue' records khada kar liya hai.
Favourability : 7
Relationship : Strangers.]
Veer ye jaanta tha ki Ava ka janm India me hi hua tha. Yadi woh bachpan me India me thi aur uske pita India me hi kaam karte the toh zaahir hai ki woh India me hi paida hui thi. Ek anumaan toh laga hi sakte the.
Shayad yahi ek kaaran tha jo usse Hindi, English dono hi badi acche se aati thi.
Veer taajub tha ye jaan ke ki baahar jaane ke bawajood, Ava apni native language bhooli nahi thi.
Veer : Toh... Aapke show ki starting ke kuch pal... Jab aapne bina kisi instruments ke woh chand panktiya gaayi thi. Khaas kar antim panktiya... And letting go, I no longer need that vile past. Jis tarah aapne dheere dheere shabdo ko uthaa ke high notes par pohchaaya. Woh mera sabse favourite part tha.
Veer ne dil se muskuraate hue kaha. Nat ne usse jab iss tarah dekha toh woh jese kuch kehna hi bhool gayi. Shan bhar ke liye Veer ko dekhi aur fir usne giggle karte hue Veer par se nazre ferr lii,
Nat (giggles) : Ohkay! Thank you...!
Idhar Suhana aur Divya kabhi Nat ko dekhti toh kabhi Veer ko. Unhe aisa mehsoos ho raha tha jese woh faaltu me yaha baithi hui thi. Haan bhai. Aapas me hi mauj kar lo. Hum toh jese chutiye hai yaha. Kuch aise hi thoughts unke mann me aa rahe the.
Nat : You have a keen perception!
Veer : No! Not as much as yours.
Nat (stares) : Ohh! *smiles*
Par tabhi...
Veer : Fuuucccckkkkkkk!!!!
Nat : ??
Veer ko jaangh me ek halka dard mehsoos hua. Usne nazre neeche kar dekha toh uski baayi jaangh par... Suhana chikoti kaat rahi thi.
'Huh?'
Suhana usse table ki neeche se zorr se chimti kaatne me lagi hui thi aur uski aankhein? Uski aankhein jese Veer ko khaa jaane waali nazro se dekh rahi thi.
Boht flirting soojh rahi hai haan? Ye le ab!
Mann me yahi soch rahi thi woh.
'Shiiitttt!'
Divya : Ahem!!! So? Introductions ho gaye! Kya ab hum jaan sakte hai? Kya matter hai?
Divya ne main topic ko firse uthaaya. Uske bagal se Veer aur Suhana khuspusaate hue ek dusre se jhagad rahe the par Divya ne Nat ki orr focus rakhna chaaha.
Nat : Right!
Ek haami bhar Nat ne apne aas paas baithe staff ko waha se baahar jaane ka ishaara kiya. Aur ab waha par keval wahi 4 log maujood the.
Ek lambi saans lete hue Nat ne unn teeno ko dekha aur fir boli,
Nat : I need your help!
Divya : Hmm? Woh toh main samajh gayi thi jab tumne call kiya tha. Say openly.
Nat (fir ek lambi saas lete hue) : I'm being threatened.
Veer : Huh?
Divya : Kya?
Suhana : ....!!!?
Nat : Yes!!! I'm being threatened.
Kehte hue usne ek card table par haatho se sarkaate hue aage kar diya.
Divya ne usse thaamte hue padha,
Divya : Hmm? You are being invited to the Royal Klink? Toh isme bura kya hai? Ye toh invitation hai.
Nat : Invitation hai. Par maut ka.
Veer : Kya matlab?
Nat : Matlab ye ki... Look! You guys must have heard about Charlotte?
Divya : Charlotte? Wait! Ye toh wahi emerging pop singer hai na? Jiski abhi recent me death ho gayi? Suicide kar liya tha usne?
Nat : Yes and no!
Suhana : What do you mean?
Nat : Charlotte aur mein contact me the. Wo ek emerging singer zaroor thi. And a very promising one at that. Par usne suicide nahi kiya tha. Jitna mein usse jaanti hu. Woh aisa kabhi kar hi nahi sakti. Never! Usne khud mujhe message kiya tha ki woh ek new album release karne wali hai. Par uske pehle hi woh...
Divya : So you are suggesting ki ye ek murder hai? Ek conspiracy?
Nat : Yes!!!
Suhana : How? Tum itni yakeen ke saath kese keh sakti ho? Mene article padha tha newspaper me Charlotte ka. Investigation hui thi uski suicide ko lekar. Lekin forensic reports me saaf saaf saamne aaya tha ki usne poison leke suicide kiya hai. Toxins se hi uski maut hui hai.
Nat : Aisa bhi toh ho sakta hai ki kisi ne usse poison diya ho? Woh kabhi aisa nahi kar sakti. I believe ki police ne uske case ko death by suicide ka naam deke band kar diya hai.
Veer taajub me sab kuch dekh sunn raha tha. Hairaan woh isliye tha ki Suhana ko inn sab baato ki bhi khabar thi. Flight ke dauraan toh woh magazine padhne me lagi hui thi. Ye sab padhne ka samay kab mila usse?
Toh wahi woh Nat ki baato se bhi achambhav me tha. Shayad maamla gambheer aur boht hi uljha hua tha.
Divya : Woh sab chorro. Ava... I mean Nat! Mujhe ye batao ki ye invitation tumhe kese mila aur tum ye kyu keh rahi ho ki ye maut ka invitation hai? Kya matlab hai tumhara iss baat se?
Nat : It's just as it sounds. Do you want to know why?
Divya : ???
Nat : Kyuki death ke pehle... Charlotte ko bhi ye invitation aaya tha.
Suhana : Huh? How did you kn--!?
Nat : Because she showed me a photo. Usse bhi same invitation aaya tha.
Suhana : So what? Iss se ye prove nahi hota ki Charlotte ki maut se iska koi connection hai. Right?
Suhana ki baat par Nat ek mazaakiya muskaan me usse dekhte hue sarr hilaayi jese maano Suhana ki investigation skills ki khilli udaa rahi ho.
Suhana : Wh-Whaaatttt? Y-You think mein bakwaas kar rahi hu? Huhhh? I can read gestures well okay? Are you mocking me? Huhh?
Iss se pehle ki woh aur bhadakti, achanak hi usse apni daayi jaangh par ek haath ka sparsh hua.
'????'
Dekha toh paaya ki Veer ka haath tha. Jese woh console kar raha tha usse shaant rehne ke liye. Hairaani ki baat ye thi ki ye tareeqa kaam bhi kar gaya. Suhana ekdum shaant ho gayi. Kahi na kahi, usse ye ehsaas accha lag raha tha. Veer ka usse aise support karna. Woh khush thi ki Nat jesi khubsoorat ladki ko dekhne ke baad bhi Veer ne apni team nahi badli thi. Woh abhi bhi uski team me tha. Nahi toh aksar aise mauke par ladke palti maar ke sundar ladkiyo ki chaatne lag jaate hai.
Par Veer alag tha.
Woh bagal se Veer ke chehre ko nihaarne lagi.
Aur idhar Veer ki nigaahein tiki zaroor Nat par thi par andar hi andar woh mann me,
'Pari!!!'
[Got it!]
*Ding*
[Basic Enemy Tracker is in use...]
[Tracking...]
*Ding*
[No enemies were found.]
'Hmmm!!! I see!'
Divya : Abhi bhi dots ko connect karne me mujhe problem ho rahi hai. Tum kehna kya chaahti ho?
Nat : What I mean to say is... Charlotte ko ye invitation aaya tha. She took a photo of it and then sent me. Lekin uske next din hi uski death ho gayi. Police searched for the details. But end me ek suicide case bana ke usse end kar diya. Ab same invitation mujhe aaya hai.
Divya : Toh tumhara matlab hai ki ye ek death trap hai?
Nat : Exactly!!!!
Suhana : Bakwaas! Hmph~ I'm sorry to say. But tumhari baato ka koi sense nahi bann raha hai.
Divya (frowns) : Kya tum iss Royal Klink ke baare me aur bata sakti ho kuch?
Nat : Mene jaan'ne ki koshish kii. I have some connections too. Par mujhe bas ek hi detail mil paayi hai.
Divya : I'm all ears. Fill me up!
Nat : Ek tarah ki party hoti hai. Usse hi Royal Klink ka naam diya gaya hai. You know? Wine glasses ko aapas me cheers karte hue... That kind of party... Log masks pehente hai idhar. Apni identity hide karne ke liye. That's it. Bas itna hi mujhe pata hai.
Divya : Hmm!!! Wine party... Royal... Huh!???? Wait!!!! Kya kaha tumne??
Nat : ???
Divya : Wine party???
Divya achanak hi hadbadaate hue Veer ko dekhi. Aur beshaq, Veer ki aankhein bhi hairaani ke maare feli hui thi.
Divya : V-Veeerrrr!!!!! Kya tum bhi wahi soch rahe ho jo mein soch rahi hu?
Veer (nods) : The thir-
Divya : Yessssssss!!!! The third one!!!! The third one!!!! Veeeerrrrr!!!!
Suhana : Huh? Ye tum dono...!?
Divya : Third criminal Suhana!!!! Third fucking criminal....!!! Jim, Nightwalker and now this.... Fuckkkk!!!
Suhana : Ahhh!!!?
Divya ne jese kuch bhaanp liya tha. Aur uska andaaza galat nahi tha. Kyuki Veer ne bhi ye bhaanp liya tha.
Wine!!! Royal!!! Inn do shabdo se hi Veer ko ek andaaza lag gaya tha.
Nightwalker kya karta tha? Drugs bech ke mehngi mehngi wines ka business. Aur woh wines woh kisi aur jagah bhejta tha.
Mehngi wines... Aur ab ye Royal Klink...
Kuch na kuch connection toh zaroor tha. Shayad paheli ki do dots ka yahi judaav tha.
Lekin tabhi,
Divya : No no no no noooooo!!! Noooooo!!!!
Divya sarr hilaate hue tension me aa gayi.
Nat : What is it?
Divya : Agar aisa hai toh... Shitttt!!!! Iska matlab ye seedha house of the killers se juda hua hai.
Nat : Wha-!? House of the killers?
Divya : Haan!!! Damn ittt!!! Fir ab ye ek private case nahi raha. Nat!! Hum pehle se hi ek boht badi gang of serial killers ke peeche investigation me lage hue hai. Aur jis hisaab se tumne details dii hai. I'm pretty sure ye house of the killers ka koi third member hi hai. What do you think Veer?
Veer (nods) : Hmm! I agree! Nightwalker wines kisi ko sell karta tha. Not to mention ki unme sabse mehngi se mehngi wines maujood thi. Aur royal klink ke naam se toh yahi maalum pad raha hai ki... Third member idhar se ho sakta hai.
Divya : That's right!!!! Nat! Ab ye case private nahi raha. Public ho chuka hai. So, you'll have to co-operate wi--
Nat : Not at all!!!!
Divya : Huh?
Nat : Mujhe apna naam criminal cases me nahi laana hai. That's the whole reason why I called you. Warna mein cops ko hi inform nahi kar deti seedha? I called you so that you could deal with it in private.
Divya : B-But... This matter is huge Nat... Aise me...
Nat : I can give you a hefty amount!
Nat ne ek taq jawaab diya. Amount shabd sunte hi Divya bhi chup reh gayi.
Divya : How much?
Nat : An amount which won't disappoint you!
*Silence*
Aur ek minute tak bas sannaata saa chha gaya.
Nat : Just don't involve my name in any of it. That's the only condition. So? Deal or not?
Suhana Divya ko hi ghoor ke dekh rahi thi. Idhar Divya ne ek lambi saans lii aur boli,
Divya : Done then! It's a deal!!!
Aur usne itna bola hi tha ki...
"You Bitcccchhhhhhhh!!!!"
Suhana zorr se bagal se chillaayi,
Divya : Wh-What???
Suhana : Fayda dikha nahi ki...
Divya : Shut up Suhana! Hmph! Dekho toh kaun bol raha hai? Khud toh harr samay profit hote hi apni gaa-- I mean... Apni jebo me thoos leti ho paise. Aur ab mujhe keh rahi ho? Hmph!
Suhana : Y-Youuuu!!!! Kya kaha tumne?? M-Mein iss tarah kisi ke kehne par...
Divya : What? Ab mirchi lag gayi haan?
Suhana : Fuck off bitchhhh!!!
Divya : Ohh shut the fuck up...!!!
Inn dono ki behas jese hi shuru hui toh Veer dono ke beech baithe jese chakki me gehu ki tarah pis raha tha. Usne ek lambi aah chorri,
'Pari!!!'
*Ding*
[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]
Aur ye equip hote hi,
Veer : THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!!!
Veer ne zorr se buland awaaz me kaha.
*Silence*
Ek ghanghor khamoshi chhaa gayi. Dono Suhana aur Divya sann hoke reh gayi. Intimidating Presence! Jesa naam wesa kaam. Veer ki Presence aisi ho gayi thi jese maano woh sabhi ek Raja ke saamne baithe ho.
Aankho me tej, baithne ka dhang, uske chehre ke bhaav, buland awaaz aur uska aura.
Sab jese unhe hairat me daal diya. Uska courage, wisdom, willpower, aur confidence sab 200% badh chuka tha.
Suhana : I... I...
Suhana ke muh se kuch nikal hi na paaya. Woh ekdum bakri ki tarah seedhi bann ke baith gayi.
Veer : Agar sab kuch ho gaya hai toh hume ab chalna chahiye.
Divya : R-Right!!!
Divya bhi thodi sehmi hui haan me gardan hilaayi aur Nat se deal final kar woh sabhi waha se uth ke baahar ke liye jaane lage.
Nat khud hairat me sab kuch dekh rahi thi. Ye hua kya tha abhi abhi?
Kherr! Jo bhi tha, bada hi vichitr tha.
Teeno hotel ke baahar aa chuke the. Aur Suhana Divya dono hi Veer ko chori chhipe dekh rahi thi baar baar.
Unhe andar se aisa mehsoos ho raha tha jese Veer me achanak hi koi naya shaks ghus aaya tha. Jese koi ek Raja ka... Ya ek badhshah ka... Ek supreme king ki personality jese...
Par harr fayde ke saath saath uske nuksaan bhi the.
Intimidating Presence Off nahi ho sakta tha. Ek baar lagaya toh iska effect poore samay rehta tha. Aur saath hi ab Veer 24 ghante ke liye Beowulf's Blessings equip nahi kar sakta tha. Ye ek duwidha zaroor thi.
Veer : What now?
Divya : R-Right!!! Nat ne invitation card mujhe diya hai. Address diya hua hai yaha. Mujhe abhi hi ek kaam karna padega.
Suhana : Ab kya??
Divya : Kisi se milne jaana hai. You can leave if you want. Take my car.
Suhana : Fine then!!! Main jaa rahi hu ghar. Mujhe wese hi neend aa rahi hai. It was too tiring for me. I'm leaving...!
Divya : Hmm! Ye lo keys! Veer!! Come with me! Hume ek jagah aur chalna hai.
Suhana : K-Kyaaa??? V-Veer?? Veer ko kyu? Kaha jaa rahi ho tum.
Divya : Kya hua? Mene kaha na ek kaam hai. Usse abhi hi karna hai.
Suhana : Haan! P-Par Veer ko kyu...!?
Divya : Arre? Veer rahega saath me toh accha rahega na. Wese bhi... A young hot woman... Strolling alone in Las Vegas... Yadi mujhe kuch ho gaya toh? Haan? Kaun jawaab daar rahega?
Suhana : Y-Youuuu!!!! Bitch...!!!!
Divya : Hmph! Go away now bitch! Nik bhi department se laut hi raha hoga. Ghar par koi rehna chahiye darwaza kholne ke liye. C'mon! Let's go veer!
Kehte hue Divya apni gaand matkaate hue mud ke chali gayi. Aur idhar Suhana apna muh fula ke usse bas gusse me dekhti reh gayi.
Jab usne Veer ko dekha toh bas uske nazdeek aayi aur uske kaano me dheere se boli,
"Don't let her eat you up!!!"
Aur bas, itna bol woh Divya ki car leke waha se ravaana ho gayi.
Veer muskuraate hue waha se mud Divya ke paas aaya aur dono cab kar kisi jagah chal diye.
Veer : So?
Divya : Kya?
Veer : Aapne Miss Natalia ki deal accept kar lii hai. Toh ab Investigation department se inn baato ko kese chhipaogi aap?
Divya : Mujhe karna kya hai? I can say anything! Keh dungi ki mujhe third criminal ke baare me pata lag gaya hai. Aur mene action bhi lena shuru kar diya hai.
Veer : Agar woh puche kese aur kaha se pata laga toh?
Divya : Keh dungi ki mujhe kisi ne bataaya tha. Gawaahi dene ke liye mere paas boht se log hai. Tum aur Suhana bhi toh ho unme se. Haha~
Veer : You...!!
Divya : Ab tum bhi uss nakchidi Suhana ki tarah bitch bolne waale the kya mujhe?
Veer : No!!! I was just... Surprised a bit.
Divya (smiles) : Mujhe bas department me itna hi batana hai ki third criminal ki khabar mil chuki hai. Detectives investigation me lag jayenge. Mere paas unhe ghumaane ke liye kayi tareeqe hai. At the same time, hum Natalia ki problem bhi solve kar denge. Mujhe mera fayda bhi ho jayega. Department ki taraf se fir alag paisa. That's what we call hitting two birds with one stone.
Veer uski harr baat sunn bas muskura raha tha. Toh aise inn mohtarma ne itna bada ghar banaaya tha. Waqai! Dimaag toh tha Divya me boht.
*Screeeeeeccccchhhh*
Gaadi ruki, aur dono Veer aur Divya baahar nikle.
Ek bar tha ye. Koi zyaada bada nahi tha. Lekin slot machines ek ke baad ek lagi hui thi. Aur kuch log abhi bhi lottery nikaalne me lage hue the.
Divya : Tum yaha mera intezar karo. Mein abhi aati hu.
Veer : You sure you don't want me in there?
Divya (winks) : I do want you inside! Hahaha~
Veer ko cherrte hue woh andar chali gayi. Double meaning jokes toh koi Divya se karwa le.
Andar jaate hi Divya ki nazar ek ladke par padi. Kareeb 28-29 ki umr ka prateet ho raha tha.
Divya uske sameep gayi aur usne uske kandhe par thap thapaate hue usse uthaaya. Shayad thodi beer pee rakhi thi usne.
Woh ladka utha aur Divya ko saamne dekh woh muskuraaya,
"Ohhh!!! Look who's here? Hahahaha!!! M-My dear Divi!!! Hehehe~"
Divya : Don't fuck with me Fred!!! I have a job for you! Are you interested or not?
Fred : Interested? Of course!! O-Of course I'm interested! Heh~
Usne Divya ko upar se neeche taulti hui nazro se dekha. Divya ki bauhe sikudi, par woh boli kuch nahi.
Uske baad Divya ne poori baatein bataayi aur pucha,
Divya : Now tell me? Can you do it?
Fred : How much Divi? Hehehe~ You know I charge a lot!!!
Divya : Much better than the last time. Now say?
Fred (surprised) : Ohhhh!!! Alright! You got me! Hehe~
Divya : Good!
Abhi wo palatne hi waali thi ki tabhi Fred ne uske gore gore kandhe par apne haath rakh diye.
Divya : What are you doiiinnnggg????
Fred : Heh~ Let's have some fun baby!
Divya : YOU FUCKER!!!! GET AWAY YOU BASTARD!!!! *kicks*
Fred : Arrghh!
Aur ek taang Fred ke perr par maar woh waha se palat ke baahar nikal aayi.
Divya : Fucking Moron... Bastard...!!! Dickhead...!!! Hmph!!!
Woh badbadaate hue baahar nikli toh Veer usse sawaliya nazro se dekha,
Veer : Kya hua?
Divya : Umm... N-Nothing!
Dono tahalte hue cab ka wait karne lage. Aur chalte chalte hi,
Divya achanak hi apni peeth Veer ke aage kar khadi hui,
Divya : Can you... Can you fix this?
Uski gori makhmali peeth Veer ke saamne thi. Woh apne gale me pehni hui chain ko fix karne ki baat kar rahi thi.
Veer ne apne haath aage badhaaye. Par jese hi uske haath Divya ki peeth se sparsh hue,
*Ding*
[Mystic Touch has been triggered.]
'Ehhh!?'
"Nnnnhhhhhhhggghhhh!!!!"
Ek loud moan Divya ke muh se nikli.
"Ahhhh!!!!" Ekdum bhauchakii sii hote hue usne apne muh par dono haath rakh apni awaaz roki. Par Veer ne sab kuch sunn liya tha.
'Ohhh!!! Fuckkk!!! Mystic touch? Iss samay? Fuuuckkkk!!! Why now?'
[Enjoy! Hahaha~ ]
Iss baar Divya ke gaal surkh laal ho rakhe the. Upar se Veer ne Intimidating Presence bhi equip kar rakha tha.
Woh Veer se alag hone ke liye palti, par usse dhakelte samay jese hi uska haath Veer ke seene par pada...
"Nnnnghhhhhh!!!!!"
Seene ki garmaahat usse madhosh kar baithi. Uska haath Veer ke seene se alag hi na hua.
Divya : What's... What's happening to me?
Uski aankhein ekdum nasheeli ho rakhi thi. Aur woh jhukte jhukte Veer ke chehre ke qareeb aati jaa rahi thi.
Divya : N-Nooo! I... I can't... I can't let this happen... V-Veeeerrr!!!
Woh uske gaal se lag gayi.
Aur agle hi pal,
"Mmmmmphhhhhhhhh!!!!!!?!!"
Divya ke gulaabi raseele honth Veer ke hontho se jaa lage. Labo ka labo se sparsh hote hi Divya ka poora jism thitur utha.
Veer ne bhi fir ek pal na gawaaya, uski patli kamar ko apne haatho me jakad usne Divya ko poori tarah se apni baaho me jakad liya.
*Slurp* *slllurrrrppppp*
"Mmmmmmm~ Nnnnghhhh!!!! Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!! Ssssssss~"
Aur dono iss meethe aur thode geele chumban me kho gaye. Haath me jab Divya jesi maal aa rahi ho toh Veer kese peeche reh sakta tha?
Uske haath bhi Divya ke badan ki mashoor jagaho ko khojne me nikal pade.
Par tabhi,

Kuch derr ke intezaar ke baad hi unhe andar jaane ke kiye allowed kar diya gaya.
Aur jese hi woh andar pohuche...
Natalia wahi baithi hui thi. Ek table ke paas ek seat par. Dinner yahi hona tha.
Usne teeno ko aate hue dekha aur bas ek halki sii muskaan ke saath boli,
"Welcome!!! Have a seat!!!"
Ab aage...
Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino,
Downtown, Las Vegas.
Night ~ 11:38 PM
Ye thi Downtown ki kaafi mashoor hotel me se ek, Golden Nugget Hotel.
Jidhar casinos ka bhi prabandh tha. Andar ka nazaara bhi ekdum khubsoorat tha. Hotel cheekh cheekh ke ye batlaa rahi thi ki kitna paisa laga hua tha usme.
Aur issi aalishaan hotel ke VIP area me, food court me baithi hui thi Natalia. Concert ke baad dinner ka plan tha jo ki usne Divya ke sang rakha hua tha. Downtown me hi uska concert hua tha. Aur udhar par hi ye hotel bhi maujood thi. Toh samay ki bachat aur nazdeeki ke liye Natalia ne apna reservation iss hotel me karwa liya tha.
Divya, Suhana aur Veer ko jab baahar se permission mili tab jaa kar woh andar VIP area me pravesh kiye.
Aur andar aate hi, Natalia ne unhe baithne ke liye kaha. Uski nazre saamne khade teeno log par gadi hui thi.
"Welcome! Have a seat!"
Ek halki muskaan ke saath woh boli. Par apni jagah se woh tass se mass nahi hui. Suhana ki bauhe upar chadh uthi Natalia ke iss ravaiyye ko dekh. Toh uska andaaza sahi tha matlab.
Natalia uss muqaam par aa chuki thi jaha ab woh Suhana aur baaki sab ke liye khade hokar unka swaagat bhi nahi karne waali thi.
'What changed you so much?' Mann me Suhana ne khud se sawaal kiya.
Parantu, usne kuch bola nahi. Teeno Natalia ke saamne maujood chairs par virajmaan ho gaye.
Divya : So? What's the matter?
Divya ne seedhe seedhe hi puch liya. Akhir aisi kya baat ho gayi thi jo itni badi star Natalia ne khud usse call kar ke usse bulaaya? Saaf tha ki kisi investigation se sambandhit hi kaam tha. Par kya?
Natalia : Let's have our dinner first. You guys must be starving too. Order anything you want.
Divya : Ohhh!
Natalia ne pehle dinner karne ka faisla liya. Aur waqai iss baat se Divya bhi sehmat thi. Concert me baithe baithe bhook toh unn sabhi ko lag aayi thi. Pehle pait pooja fir kaam dooja waali baat unhe sahi lagi.
Aur sabhi waha lazeez khaane par toot pade.
Natalia khaate samay kisi se baat nahi kar rahi thi. Uska poora dhyaan apne khaane par tha. Jis kaaran se Divya aur Suhana ne bhi apni bolti band kar lii. Wahi Veer pal pal apni nazre utha ke Natalia ko dekhta. Paas se toh aur bhi qayamat lag rahi thi woh. Natalia ne bas ek hi nazar daali thi Veer pe, uske baad se usne Veer ko nahi dekha jese maano woh usme ekdum uninterested thi.
Toh wahi Suhana bhi pal do pal Natalia ko chori chhipe dekhti, mann me uske dherr saare sawaal uth rahe the. Natalia uske saath aisa behave kyu kar rahi thi? Kahi aisa toh nahi ki woh usse bhul gayi ho? Suhana ek bhaari chinta me doobi hui thi.
Aur ant me akhir waali kursi par Divya ke maathe par bhi silvatein chhayi hui thi. Khaana toh woh kha rahi thi, par uska dhyaan khaane par kam aur Natalia ne usse kyu bulaaya uss par zyada tha.
Natalia aur Divya ek dusre ko jaante the. Natalia jaanti thi ki Divya Suhana ki dost hai aur ek private detective hai Vegas me. Balki, Sonia aur Kaera bhi ye baat jaanti thi. Yaha tak ki bachpan me hi woh sabhi Divya se mili chuki thi. Akhir Divya aur Suhana school, college se hi ek saath the.
Jab sabhi ka khaana peena ho gaya toh Divya se aur raha na gaya.
Apne baalo ke bun ko khol, usne hawa me apni kaali zulfe lehraayi aur kursi par adab ke saath baithate hue boli,
Divya : Dinner is done. What's the deal now?
Suhana : Right? Such a big celebrity Miss Natalia Martin. Why did you call us poor souls here?
Suhana ne ek taunt maara. Bhala hum jese gareeb logo ki kya zaroorat pad gayi inn maharani sahiba ko? Woh nakli muskaan ke saath Natalia ko chidhaane ke liye boli.
Natalia : Call me Nat!
Suhana : Ohhh! I thought 'Ava' would be much preferred by you!? Hmm?
Uske muh se 'Ava' shabd nikalte hi Natalia ke maathe par lakeerein chhaa gayi aur uski aankhein Suhana ko ghoor kar dekhne lagi.
Natalia : Nat! I prefer Nat!!! Your mood is off! Looks like you didn't enjoy my show.
Aur iss baar ek waar yaha se Natalia ne kiya. Uska kehna tha ki Suhana ne lagta hai uska show enjoy nahi kiya isliye kaafi bekaar mood me thi.
Suhana : Huh?
Iske pehle ki dono ke beech koi yuddh shuru hota...
Veer : Ahem...!
Veer ke beech me awaaz karte hi sabhi ki nazre uss par tik gayi. Aur Divya ko tabhi dhyaan aaya,
Woh Veer ke daayi orr baithi hui thi. Veer ke kandhe par haath rakh Natalia ko samjhaate hue woh boli,
Divya : Right! This is Veer. Veer! She's Natalia. Sonia's childhood friend.
Veer ne nod karte hue haath aage badhaaya toh Natalia ne bhi haath aage kar uska haath thaama aur handshake kiya.
Haath aapas me sparsh hote hi...
'Soft...!'
[Hehe~ ]
Natalia : Nice to meet you!
Veer : It's a pleasure!
Divya : Also... You know what?
Natalia : Hmm?
Divya (smiles) : He's a mutual friend of Sonia and Kaera.
*Silence*
Divya ki baat sunte hi Nat ki aankho me pal bhar ke liye jese ek chamak sii aayi. Usne Veer ko punaah ghoora aur ek halki muskaan uske hontho par sajj gayi.
Veer : Umm... About concert. The way you started...
Natalia (smiles) : Hindi aati hai mujhe! Hum Hindi me baat kar sakte hai. Just because I'm half white doesn't mean I have forgotten my native language. In fact, I prefer Hindi more than English.
Veer : Ah!! I see!
Veer ye nahi bhul sakta tha. Thodi derr pehle hi usne Nat ko check kiya tha. Concert ke dauraan. Tab usne dekha tha...
*Ding*
[Name : Ava Martin
Stage/Alias Name : Natalia Martin
Age : 26
Status : Singer/ Businesswoman/ Celebrity
Bio : Ava Martin! Jayesh aur Grace Martin ki eklauti beti. Aur Sonia, Kaera ki childhood friend. Pita hindustani the. Par dedh saal pehle hi unka dehaant ho gaya. Grace Martin head injury ke chalte coma me hai. Maa ke prati Ava ka sabse zyaada jhukaav raha hai. Aur isliye woh apna naam apni maa ke surname ke saath poora karti hai. Unhi ke liye woh gaati hai, Grace hi uska sab kuch hai ab. Pita ki maut ke baad usne singing ki duniya me qadam rakha. Aur dedh saal me hi usne khud ka label 'Blue' records khada kar liya hai.
Favourability : 7
Relationship : Strangers.]
Veer ye jaanta tha ki Ava ka janm India me hi hua tha. Yadi woh bachpan me India me thi aur uske pita India me hi kaam karte the toh zaahir hai ki woh India me hi paida hui thi. Ek anumaan toh laga hi sakte the.
Shayad yahi ek kaaran tha jo usse Hindi, English dono hi badi acche se aati thi.
Veer taajub tha ye jaan ke ki baahar jaane ke bawajood, Ava apni native language bhooli nahi thi.
Veer : Toh... Aapke show ki starting ke kuch pal... Jab aapne bina kisi instruments ke woh chand panktiya gaayi thi. Khaas kar antim panktiya... And letting go, I no longer need that vile past. Jis tarah aapne dheere dheere shabdo ko uthaa ke high notes par pohchaaya. Woh mera sabse favourite part tha.
Veer ne dil se muskuraate hue kaha. Nat ne usse jab iss tarah dekha toh woh jese kuch kehna hi bhool gayi. Shan bhar ke liye Veer ko dekhi aur fir usne giggle karte hue Veer par se nazre ferr lii,
Nat (giggles) : Ohkay! Thank you...!
Idhar Suhana aur Divya kabhi Nat ko dekhti toh kabhi Veer ko. Unhe aisa mehsoos ho raha tha jese woh faaltu me yaha baithi hui thi. Haan bhai. Aapas me hi mauj kar lo. Hum toh jese chutiye hai yaha. Kuch aise hi thoughts unke mann me aa rahe the.
Nat : You have a keen perception!
Veer : No! Not as much as yours.
Nat (stares) : Ohh! *smiles*
Par tabhi...
Veer : Fuuucccckkkkkkk!!!!
Nat : ??
Veer ko jaangh me ek halka dard mehsoos hua. Usne nazre neeche kar dekha toh uski baayi jaangh par... Suhana chikoti kaat rahi thi.
'Huh?'
Suhana usse table ki neeche se zorr se chimti kaatne me lagi hui thi aur uski aankhein? Uski aankhein jese Veer ko khaa jaane waali nazro se dekh rahi thi.
Boht flirting soojh rahi hai haan? Ye le ab!
Mann me yahi soch rahi thi woh.
'Shiiitttt!'
Divya : Ahem!!! So? Introductions ho gaye! Kya ab hum jaan sakte hai? Kya matter hai?
Divya ne main topic ko firse uthaaya. Uske bagal se Veer aur Suhana khuspusaate hue ek dusre se jhagad rahe the par Divya ne Nat ki orr focus rakhna chaaha.
Nat : Right!
Ek haami bhar Nat ne apne aas paas baithe staff ko waha se baahar jaane ka ishaara kiya. Aur ab waha par keval wahi 4 log maujood the.
Ek lambi saans lete hue Nat ne unn teeno ko dekha aur fir boli,
Nat : I need your help!
Divya : Hmm? Woh toh main samajh gayi thi jab tumne call kiya tha. Say openly.
Nat (fir ek lambi saas lete hue) : I'm being threatened.
Veer : Huh?
Divya : Kya?
Suhana : ....!!!?
Nat : Yes!!! I'm being threatened.
Kehte hue usne ek card table par haatho se sarkaate hue aage kar diya.
Divya ne usse thaamte hue padha,
Divya : Hmm? You are being invited to the Royal Klink? Toh isme bura kya hai? Ye toh invitation hai.
Nat : Invitation hai. Par maut ka.
Veer : Kya matlab?
Nat : Matlab ye ki... Look! You guys must have heard about Charlotte?
Divya : Charlotte? Wait! Ye toh wahi emerging pop singer hai na? Jiski abhi recent me death ho gayi? Suicide kar liya tha usne?
Nat : Yes and no!
Suhana : What do you mean?
Nat : Charlotte aur mein contact me the. Wo ek emerging singer zaroor thi. And a very promising one at that. Par usne suicide nahi kiya tha. Jitna mein usse jaanti hu. Woh aisa kabhi kar hi nahi sakti. Never! Usne khud mujhe message kiya tha ki woh ek new album release karne wali hai. Par uske pehle hi woh...
Divya : So you are suggesting ki ye ek murder hai? Ek conspiracy?
Nat : Yes!!!
Suhana : How? Tum itni yakeen ke saath kese keh sakti ho? Mene article padha tha newspaper me Charlotte ka. Investigation hui thi uski suicide ko lekar. Lekin forensic reports me saaf saaf saamne aaya tha ki usne poison leke suicide kiya hai. Toxins se hi uski maut hui hai.
Nat : Aisa bhi toh ho sakta hai ki kisi ne usse poison diya ho? Woh kabhi aisa nahi kar sakti. I believe ki police ne uske case ko death by suicide ka naam deke band kar diya hai.
Veer taajub me sab kuch dekh sunn raha tha. Hairaan woh isliye tha ki Suhana ko inn sab baato ki bhi khabar thi. Flight ke dauraan toh woh magazine padhne me lagi hui thi. Ye sab padhne ka samay kab mila usse?
Toh wahi woh Nat ki baato se bhi achambhav me tha. Shayad maamla gambheer aur boht hi uljha hua tha.
Divya : Woh sab chorro. Ava... I mean Nat! Mujhe ye batao ki ye invitation tumhe kese mila aur tum ye kyu keh rahi ho ki ye maut ka invitation hai? Kya matlab hai tumhara iss baat se?
Nat : It's just as it sounds. Do you want to know why?
Divya : ???
Nat : Kyuki death ke pehle... Charlotte ko bhi ye invitation aaya tha.
Suhana : Huh? How did you kn--!?
Nat : Because she showed me a photo. Usse bhi same invitation aaya tha.
Suhana : So what? Iss se ye prove nahi hota ki Charlotte ki maut se iska koi connection hai. Right?
Suhana ki baat par Nat ek mazaakiya muskaan me usse dekhte hue sarr hilaayi jese maano Suhana ki investigation skills ki khilli udaa rahi ho.
Suhana : Wh-Whaaatttt? Y-You think mein bakwaas kar rahi hu? Huhhh? I can read gestures well okay? Are you mocking me? Huhh?
Iss se pehle ki woh aur bhadakti, achanak hi usse apni daayi jaangh par ek haath ka sparsh hua.
'????'
Dekha toh paaya ki Veer ka haath tha. Jese woh console kar raha tha usse shaant rehne ke liye. Hairaani ki baat ye thi ki ye tareeqa kaam bhi kar gaya. Suhana ekdum shaant ho gayi. Kahi na kahi, usse ye ehsaas accha lag raha tha. Veer ka usse aise support karna. Woh khush thi ki Nat jesi khubsoorat ladki ko dekhne ke baad bhi Veer ne apni team nahi badli thi. Woh abhi bhi uski team me tha. Nahi toh aksar aise mauke par ladke palti maar ke sundar ladkiyo ki chaatne lag jaate hai.
Par Veer alag tha.
Woh bagal se Veer ke chehre ko nihaarne lagi.
Aur idhar Veer ki nigaahein tiki zaroor Nat par thi par andar hi andar woh mann me,
'Pari!!!'
[Got it!]
*Ding*
[Basic Enemy Tracker is in use...]
[Tracking...]
*Ding*
[No enemies were found.]
'Hmmm!!! I see!'
Divya : Abhi bhi dots ko connect karne me mujhe problem ho rahi hai. Tum kehna kya chaahti ho?
Nat : What I mean to say is... Charlotte ko ye invitation aaya tha. She took a photo of it and then sent me. Lekin uske next din hi uski death ho gayi. Police searched for the details. But end me ek suicide case bana ke usse end kar diya. Ab same invitation mujhe aaya hai.
Divya : Toh tumhara matlab hai ki ye ek death trap hai?
Nat : Exactly!!!!
Suhana : Bakwaas! Hmph~ I'm sorry to say. But tumhari baato ka koi sense nahi bann raha hai.
Divya (frowns) : Kya tum iss Royal Klink ke baare me aur bata sakti ho kuch?
Nat : Mene jaan'ne ki koshish kii. I have some connections too. Par mujhe bas ek hi detail mil paayi hai.
Divya : I'm all ears. Fill me up!
Nat : Ek tarah ki party hoti hai. Usse hi Royal Klink ka naam diya gaya hai. You know? Wine glasses ko aapas me cheers karte hue... That kind of party... Log masks pehente hai idhar. Apni identity hide karne ke liye. That's it. Bas itna hi mujhe pata hai.
Divya : Hmm!!! Wine party... Royal... Huh!???? Wait!!!! Kya kaha tumne??
Nat : ???
Divya : Wine party???
Divya achanak hi hadbadaate hue Veer ko dekhi. Aur beshaq, Veer ki aankhein bhi hairaani ke maare feli hui thi.
Divya : V-Veeerrrr!!!!! Kya tum bhi wahi soch rahe ho jo mein soch rahi hu?
Veer (nods) : The thir-
Divya : Yessssssss!!!! The third one!!!! The third one!!!! Veeeerrrrr!!!!
Suhana : Huh? Ye tum dono...!?
Divya : Third criminal Suhana!!!! Third fucking criminal....!!! Jim, Nightwalker and now this.... Fuckkkk!!!
Suhana : Ahhh!!!?
Divya ne jese kuch bhaanp liya tha. Aur uska andaaza galat nahi tha. Kyuki Veer ne bhi ye bhaanp liya tha.
Wine!!! Royal!!! Inn do shabdo se hi Veer ko ek andaaza lag gaya tha.
Nightwalker kya karta tha? Drugs bech ke mehngi mehngi wines ka business. Aur woh wines woh kisi aur jagah bhejta tha.
Mehngi wines... Aur ab ye Royal Klink...
Kuch na kuch connection toh zaroor tha. Shayad paheli ki do dots ka yahi judaav tha.
Lekin tabhi,
Divya : No no no no noooooo!!! Noooooo!!!!
Divya sarr hilaate hue tension me aa gayi.
Nat : What is it?
Divya : Agar aisa hai toh... Shitttt!!!! Iska matlab ye seedha house of the killers se juda hua hai.
Nat : Wha-!? House of the killers?
Divya : Haan!!! Damn ittt!!! Fir ab ye ek private case nahi raha. Nat!! Hum pehle se hi ek boht badi gang of serial killers ke peeche investigation me lage hue hai. Aur jis hisaab se tumne details dii hai. I'm pretty sure ye house of the killers ka koi third member hi hai. What do you think Veer?
Veer (nods) : Hmm! I agree! Nightwalker wines kisi ko sell karta tha. Not to mention ki unme sabse mehngi se mehngi wines maujood thi. Aur royal klink ke naam se toh yahi maalum pad raha hai ki... Third member idhar se ho sakta hai.
Divya : That's right!!!! Nat! Ab ye case private nahi raha. Public ho chuka hai. So, you'll have to co-operate wi--
Nat : Not at all!!!!
Divya : Huh?
Nat : Mujhe apna naam criminal cases me nahi laana hai. That's the whole reason why I called you. Warna mein cops ko hi inform nahi kar deti seedha? I called you so that you could deal with it in private.
Divya : B-But... This matter is huge Nat... Aise me...
Nat : I can give you a hefty amount!
Nat ne ek taq jawaab diya. Amount shabd sunte hi Divya bhi chup reh gayi.
Divya : How much?
Nat : An amount which won't disappoint you!
*Silence*
Aur ek minute tak bas sannaata saa chha gaya.
Nat : Just don't involve my name in any of it. That's the only condition. So? Deal or not?
Suhana Divya ko hi ghoor ke dekh rahi thi. Idhar Divya ne ek lambi saans lii aur boli,
Divya : Done then! It's a deal!!!
Aur usne itna bola hi tha ki...
"You Bitcccchhhhhhhh!!!!"
Suhana zorr se bagal se chillaayi,
Divya : Wh-What???
Suhana : Fayda dikha nahi ki...
Divya : Shut up Suhana! Hmph! Dekho toh kaun bol raha hai? Khud toh harr samay profit hote hi apni gaa-- I mean... Apni jebo me thoos leti ho paise. Aur ab mujhe keh rahi ho? Hmph!
Suhana : Y-Youuuu!!!! Kya kaha tumne?? M-Mein iss tarah kisi ke kehne par...
Divya : What? Ab mirchi lag gayi haan?
Suhana : Fuck off bitchhhh!!!
Divya : Ohh shut the fuck up...!!!
Inn dono ki behas jese hi shuru hui toh Veer dono ke beech baithe jese chakki me gehu ki tarah pis raha tha. Usne ek lambi aah chorri,
'Pari!!!'
*Ding*
[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]
Aur ye equip hote hi,
Veer : THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!!!
Veer ne zorr se buland awaaz me kaha.
*Silence*
Ek ghanghor khamoshi chhaa gayi. Dono Suhana aur Divya sann hoke reh gayi. Intimidating Presence! Jesa naam wesa kaam. Veer ki Presence aisi ho gayi thi jese maano woh sabhi ek Raja ke saamne baithe ho.
Aankho me tej, baithne ka dhang, uske chehre ke bhaav, buland awaaz aur uska aura.
Sab jese unhe hairat me daal diya. Uska courage, wisdom, willpower, aur confidence sab 200% badh chuka tha.
Suhana : I... I...
Suhana ke muh se kuch nikal hi na paaya. Woh ekdum bakri ki tarah seedhi bann ke baith gayi.
Veer : Agar sab kuch ho gaya hai toh hume ab chalna chahiye.
Divya : R-Right!!!
Divya bhi thodi sehmi hui haan me gardan hilaayi aur Nat se deal final kar woh sabhi waha se uth ke baahar ke liye jaane lage.
Nat khud hairat me sab kuch dekh rahi thi. Ye hua kya tha abhi abhi?
Kherr! Jo bhi tha, bada hi vichitr tha.
Teeno hotel ke baahar aa chuke the. Aur Suhana Divya dono hi Veer ko chori chhipe dekh rahi thi baar baar.
Unhe andar se aisa mehsoos ho raha tha jese Veer me achanak hi koi naya shaks ghus aaya tha. Jese koi ek Raja ka... Ya ek badhshah ka... Ek supreme king ki personality jese...
Par harr fayde ke saath saath uske nuksaan bhi the.
Intimidating Presence Off nahi ho sakta tha. Ek baar lagaya toh iska effect poore samay rehta tha. Aur saath hi ab Veer 24 ghante ke liye Beowulf's Blessings equip nahi kar sakta tha. Ye ek duwidha zaroor thi.
Veer : What now?
Divya : R-Right!!! Nat ne invitation card mujhe diya hai. Address diya hua hai yaha. Mujhe abhi hi ek kaam karna padega.
Suhana : Ab kya??
Divya : Kisi se milne jaana hai. You can leave if you want. Take my car.
Suhana : Fine then!!! Main jaa rahi hu ghar. Mujhe wese hi neend aa rahi hai. It was too tiring for me. I'm leaving...!
Divya : Hmm! Ye lo keys! Veer!! Come with me! Hume ek jagah aur chalna hai.
Suhana : K-Kyaaa??? V-Veer?? Veer ko kyu? Kaha jaa rahi ho tum.
Divya : Kya hua? Mene kaha na ek kaam hai. Usse abhi hi karna hai.
Suhana : Haan! P-Par Veer ko kyu...!?
Divya : Arre? Veer rahega saath me toh accha rahega na. Wese bhi... A young hot woman... Strolling alone in Las Vegas... Yadi mujhe kuch ho gaya toh? Haan? Kaun jawaab daar rahega?
Suhana : Y-Youuuu!!!! Bitch...!!!!
Divya : Hmph! Go away now bitch! Nik bhi department se laut hi raha hoga. Ghar par koi rehna chahiye darwaza kholne ke liye. C'mon! Let's go veer!
Kehte hue Divya apni gaand matkaate hue mud ke chali gayi. Aur idhar Suhana apna muh fula ke usse bas gusse me dekhti reh gayi.
Jab usne Veer ko dekha toh bas uske nazdeek aayi aur uske kaano me dheere se boli,
"Don't let her eat you up!!!"
Aur bas, itna bol woh Divya ki car leke waha se ravaana ho gayi.
Veer muskuraate hue waha se mud Divya ke paas aaya aur dono cab kar kisi jagah chal diye.
Veer : So?
Divya : Kya?
Veer : Aapne Miss Natalia ki deal accept kar lii hai. Toh ab Investigation department se inn baato ko kese chhipaogi aap?
Divya : Mujhe karna kya hai? I can say anything! Keh dungi ki mujhe third criminal ke baare me pata lag gaya hai. Aur mene action bhi lena shuru kar diya hai.
Veer : Agar woh puche kese aur kaha se pata laga toh?
Divya : Keh dungi ki mujhe kisi ne bataaya tha. Gawaahi dene ke liye mere paas boht se log hai. Tum aur Suhana bhi toh ho unme se. Haha~
Veer : You...!!
Divya : Ab tum bhi uss nakchidi Suhana ki tarah bitch bolne waale the kya mujhe?
Veer : No!!! I was just... Surprised a bit.
Divya (smiles) : Mujhe bas department me itna hi batana hai ki third criminal ki khabar mil chuki hai. Detectives investigation me lag jayenge. Mere paas unhe ghumaane ke liye kayi tareeqe hai. At the same time, hum Natalia ki problem bhi solve kar denge. Mujhe mera fayda bhi ho jayega. Department ki taraf se fir alag paisa. That's what we call hitting two birds with one stone.
Veer uski harr baat sunn bas muskura raha tha. Toh aise inn mohtarma ne itna bada ghar banaaya tha. Waqai! Dimaag toh tha Divya me boht.
*Screeeeeeccccchhhh*
Gaadi ruki, aur dono Veer aur Divya baahar nikle.
Ek bar tha ye. Koi zyaada bada nahi tha. Lekin slot machines ek ke baad ek lagi hui thi. Aur kuch log abhi bhi lottery nikaalne me lage hue the.
Divya : Tum yaha mera intezar karo. Mein abhi aati hu.
Veer : You sure you don't want me in there?
Divya (winks) : I do want you inside! Hahaha~
Veer ko cherrte hue woh andar chali gayi. Double meaning jokes toh koi Divya se karwa le.
Andar jaate hi Divya ki nazar ek ladke par padi. Kareeb 28-29 ki umr ka prateet ho raha tha.
Divya uske sameep gayi aur usne uske kandhe par thap thapaate hue usse uthaaya. Shayad thodi beer pee rakhi thi usne.
Woh ladka utha aur Divya ko saamne dekh woh muskuraaya,
"Ohhh!!! Look who's here? Hahahaha!!! M-My dear Divi!!! Hehehe~"
Divya : Don't fuck with me Fred!!! I have a job for you! Are you interested or not?
Fred : Interested? Of course!! O-Of course I'm interested! Heh~
Usne Divya ko upar se neeche taulti hui nazro se dekha. Divya ki bauhe sikudi, par woh boli kuch nahi.
Uske baad Divya ne poori baatein bataayi aur pucha,
Divya : Now tell me? Can you do it?
Fred : How much Divi? Hehehe~ You know I charge a lot!!!
Divya : Much better than the last time. Now say?
Fred (surprised) : Ohhhh!!! Alright! You got me! Hehe~
Divya : Good!
Abhi wo palatne hi waali thi ki tabhi Fred ne uske gore gore kandhe par apne haath rakh diye.
Divya : What are you doiiinnnggg????
Fred : Heh~ Let's have some fun baby!
Divya : YOU FUCKER!!!! GET AWAY YOU BASTARD!!!! *kicks*
Fred : Arrghh!
Aur ek taang Fred ke perr par maar woh waha se palat ke baahar nikal aayi.
Divya : Fucking Moron... Bastard...!!! Dickhead...!!! Hmph!!!
Woh badbadaate hue baahar nikli toh Veer usse sawaliya nazro se dekha,
Veer : Kya hua?
Divya : Umm... N-Nothing!
Dono tahalte hue cab ka wait karne lage. Aur chalte chalte hi,
Divya achanak hi apni peeth Veer ke aage kar khadi hui,
Divya : Can you... Can you fix this?
Uski gori makhmali peeth Veer ke saamne thi. Woh apne gale me pehni hui chain ko fix karne ki baat kar rahi thi.
Veer ne apne haath aage badhaaye. Par jese hi uske haath Divya ki peeth se sparsh hue,
*Ding*
[Mystic Touch has been triggered.]
'Ehhh!?'
"Nnnnhhhhhhhggghhhh!!!!"
Ek loud moan Divya ke muh se nikli.
"Ahhhh!!!!" Ekdum bhauchakii sii hote hue usne apne muh par dono haath rakh apni awaaz roki. Par Veer ne sab kuch sunn liya tha.
'Ohhh!!! Fuckkk!!! Mystic touch? Iss samay? Fuuuckkkk!!! Why now?'
[Enjoy! Hahaha~ ]
Iss baar Divya ke gaal surkh laal ho rakhe the. Upar se Veer ne Intimidating Presence bhi equip kar rakha tha.
Woh Veer se alag hone ke liye palti, par usse dhakelte samay jese hi uska haath Veer ke seene par pada...
"Nnnnghhhhhh!!!!!"
Seene ki garmaahat usse madhosh kar baithi. Uska haath Veer ke seene se alag hi na hua.
Divya : What's... What's happening to me?
Uski aankhein ekdum nasheeli ho rakhi thi. Aur woh jhukte jhukte Veer ke chehre ke qareeb aati jaa rahi thi.
Divya : N-Nooo! I... I can't... I can't let this happen... V-Veeeerrr!!!
Woh uske gaal se lag gayi.
Aur agle hi pal,
"Mmmmmphhhhhhhhh!!!!!!?!!"
Divya ke gulaabi raseele honth Veer ke hontho se jaa lage. Labo ka labo se sparsh hote hi Divya ka poora jism thitur utha.
Veer ne bhi fir ek pal na gawaaya, uski patli kamar ko apne haatho me jakad usne Divya ko poori tarah se apni baaho me jakad liya.
*Slurp* *slllurrrrppppp*
"Mmmmmmm~ Nnnnghhhh!!!! Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!! Ssssssss~"
Aur dono iss meethe aur thode geele chumban me kho gaye. Haath me jab Divya jesi maal aa rahi ho toh Veer kese peeche reh sakta tha?
Uske haath bhi Divya ke badan ki mashoor jagaho ko khojne me nikal pade.
Par tabhi,

Kuch derr ke intezaar ke baad hi unhe andar jaane ke kiye allowed kar diya gaya.
Aur jese hi woh andar pohuche...
Natalia wahi baithi hui thi. Ek table ke paas ek seat par. Dinner yahi hona tha.
Usne teeno ko aate hue dekha aur bas ek halki sii muskaan ke saath boli,
"Welcome!!! Have a seat!!!"
Ab aage...
Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino,
Downtown, Las Vegas.
Night ~ 11:38 PM
Ye thi Downtown ki kaafi mashoor hotel me se ek, Golden Nugget Hotel.
Jidhar casinos ka bhi prabandh tha. Andar ka nazaara bhi ekdum khubsoorat tha. Hotel cheekh cheekh ke ye batlaa rahi thi ki kitna paisa laga hua tha usme.
Aur issi aalishaan hotel ke VIP area me, food court me baithi hui thi Natalia. Concert ke baad dinner ka plan tha jo ki usne Divya ke sang rakha hua tha. Downtown me hi uska concert hua tha. Aur udhar par hi ye hotel bhi maujood thi. Toh samay ki bachat aur nazdeeki ke liye Natalia ne apna reservation iss hotel me karwa liya tha.
Divya, Suhana aur Veer ko jab baahar se permission mili tab jaa kar woh andar VIP area me pravesh kiye.
Aur andar aate hi, Natalia ne unhe baithne ke liye kaha. Uski nazre saamne khade teeno log par gadi hui thi.
"Welcome! Have a seat!"
Ek halki muskaan ke saath woh boli. Par apni jagah se woh tass se mass nahi hui. Suhana ki bauhe upar chadh uthi Natalia ke iss ravaiyye ko dekh. Toh uska andaaza sahi tha matlab.
Natalia uss muqaam par aa chuki thi jaha ab woh Suhana aur baaki sab ke liye khade hokar unka swaagat bhi nahi karne waali thi.
'What changed you so much?' Mann me Suhana ne khud se sawaal kiya.
Parantu, usne kuch bola nahi. Teeno Natalia ke saamne maujood chairs par virajmaan ho gaye.
Divya : So? What's the matter?
Divya ne seedhe seedhe hi puch liya. Akhir aisi kya baat ho gayi thi jo itni badi star Natalia ne khud usse call kar ke usse bulaaya? Saaf tha ki kisi investigation se sambandhit hi kaam tha. Par kya?
Natalia : Let's have our dinner first. You guys must be starving too. Order anything you want.
Divya : Ohhh!
Natalia ne pehle dinner karne ka faisla liya. Aur waqai iss baat se Divya bhi sehmat thi. Concert me baithe baithe bhook toh unn sabhi ko lag aayi thi. Pehle pait pooja fir kaam dooja waali baat unhe sahi lagi.
Aur sabhi waha lazeez khaane par toot pade.
Natalia khaate samay kisi se baat nahi kar rahi thi. Uska poora dhyaan apne khaane par tha. Jis kaaran se Divya aur Suhana ne bhi apni bolti band kar lii. Wahi Veer pal pal apni nazre utha ke Natalia ko dekhta. Paas se toh aur bhi qayamat lag rahi thi woh. Natalia ne bas ek hi nazar daali thi Veer pe, uske baad se usne Veer ko nahi dekha jese maano woh usme ekdum uninterested thi.
Toh wahi Suhana bhi pal do pal Natalia ko chori chhipe dekhti, mann me uske dherr saare sawaal uth rahe the. Natalia uske saath aisa behave kyu kar rahi thi? Kahi aisa toh nahi ki woh usse bhul gayi ho? Suhana ek bhaari chinta me doobi hui thi.
Aur ant me akhir waali kursi par Divya ke maathe par bhi silvatein chhayi hui thi. Khaana toh woh kha rahi thi, par uska dhyaan khaane par kam aur Natalia ne usse kyu bulaaya uss par zyada tha.
Natalia aur Divya ek dusre ko jaante the. Natalia jaanti thi ki Divya Suhana ki dost hai aur ek private detective hai Vegas me. Balki, Sonia aur Kaera bhi ye baat jaanti thi. Yaha tak ki bachpan me hi woh sabhi Divya se mili chuki thi. Akhir Divya aur Suhana school, college se hi ek saath the.
Jab sabhi ka khaana peena ho gaya toh Divya se aur raha na gaya.
Apne baalo ke bun ko khol, usne hawa me apni kaali zulfe lehraayi aur kursi par adab ke saath baithate hue boli,
Divya : Dinner is done. What's the deal now?
Suhana : Right? Such a big celebrity Miss Natalia Martin. Why did you call us poor souls here?
Suhana ne ek taunt maara. Bhala hum jese gareeb logo ki kya zaroorat pad gayi inn maharani sahiba ko? Woh nakli muskaan ke saath Natalia ko chidhaane ke liye boli.
Natalia : Call me Nat!
Suhana : Ohhh! I thought 'Ava' would be much preferred by you!? Hmm?
Uske muh se 'Ava' shabd nikalte hi Natalia ke maathe par lakeerein chhaa gayi aur uski aankhein Suhana ko ghoor kar dekhne lagi.
Natalia : Nat! I prefer Nat!!! Your mood is off! Looks like you didn't enjoy my show.
Aur iss baar ek waar yaha se Natalia ne kiya. Uska kehna tha ki Suhana ne lagta hai uska show enjoy nahi kiya isliye kaafi bekaar mood me thi.
Suhana : Huh?
Iske pehle ki dono ke beech koi yuddh shuru hota...
Veer : Ahem...!
Veer ke beech me awaaz karte hi sabhi ki nazre uss par tik gayi. Aur Divya ko tabhi dhyaan aaya,
Woh Veer ke daayi orr baithi hui thi. Veer ke kandhe par haath rakh Natalia ko samjhaate hue woh boli,
Divya : Right! This is Veer. Veer! She's Natalia. Sonia's childhood friend.
Veer ne nod karte hue haath aage badhaaya toh Natalia ne bhi haath aage kar uska haath thaama aur handshake kiya.
Haath aapas me sparsh hote hi...
'Soft...!'
[Hehe~ ]
Natalia : Nice to meet you!
Veer : It's a pleasure!
Divya : Also... You know what?
Natalia : Hmm?
Divya (smiles) : He's a mutual friend of Sonia and Kaera.
*Silence*
Divya ki baat sunte hi Nat ki aankho me pal bhar ke liye jese ek chamak sii aayi. Usne Veer ko punaah ghoora aur ek halki muskaan uske hontho par sajj gayi.
Veer : Umm... About concert. The way you started...
Natalia (smiles) : Hindi aati hai mujhe! Hum Hindi me baat kar sakte hai. Just because I'm half white doesn't mean I have forgotten my native language. In fact, I prefer Hindi more than English.
Veer : Ah!! I see!
Veer ye nahi bhul sakta tha. Thodi derr pehle hi usne Nat ko check kiya tha. Concert ke dauraan. Tab usne dekha tha...
*Ding*
[Name : Ava Martin
Stage/Alias Name : Natalia Martin
Age : 26
Status : Singer/ Businesswoman/ Celebrity
Bio : Ava Martin! Jayesh aur Grace Martin ki eklauti beti. Aur Sonia, Kaera ki childhood friend. Pita hindustani the. Par dedh saal pehle hi unka dehaant ho gaya. Grace Martin head injury ke chalte coma me hai. Maa ke prati Ava ka sabse zyaada jhukaav raha hai. Aur isliye woh apna naam apni maa ke surname ke saath poora karti hai. Unhi ke liye woh gaati hai, Grace hi uska sab kuch hai ab. Pita ki maut ke baad usne singing ki duniya me qadam rakha. Aur dedh saal me hi usne khud ka label 'Blue' records khada kar liya hai.
Favourability : 7
Relationship : Strangers.]
Veer ye jaanta tha ki Ava ka janm India me hi hua tha. Yadi woh bachpan me India me thi aur uske pita India me hi kaam karte the toh zaahir hai ki woh India me hi paida hui thi. Ek anumaan toh laga hi sakte the.
Shayad yahi ek kaaran tha jo usse Hindi, English dono hi badi acche se aati thi.
Veer taajub tha ye jaan ke ki baahar jaane ke bawajood, Ava apni native language bhooli nahi thi.
Veer : Toh... Aapke show ki starting ke kuch pal... Jab aapne bina kisi instruments ke woh chand panktiya gaayi thi. Khaas kar antim panktiya... And letting go, I no longer need that vile past. Jis tarah aapne dheere dheere shabdo ko uthaa ke high notes par pohchaaya. Woh mera sabse favourite part tha.
Veer ne dil se muskuraate hue kaha. Nat ne usse jab iss tarah dekha toh woh jese kuch kehna hi bhool gayi. Shan bhar ke liye Veer ko dekhi aur fir usne giggle karte hue Veer par se nazre ferr lii,
Nat (giggles) : Ohkay! Thank you...!
Idhar Suhana aur Divya kabhi Nat ko dekhti toh kabhi Veer ko. Unhe aisa mehsoos ho raha tha jese woh faaltu me yaha baithi hui thi. Haan bhai. Aapas me hi mauj kar lo. Hum toh jese chutiye hai yaha. Kuch aise hi thoughts unke mann me aa rahe the.
Nat : You have a keen perception!
Veer : No! Not as much as yours.
Nat (stares) : Ohh! *smiles*
Par tabhi...
Veer : Fuuucccckkkkkkk!!!!
Nat : ??
Veer ko jaangh me ek halka dard mehsoos hua. Usne nazre neeche kar dekha toh uski baayi jaangh par... Suhana chikoti kaat rahi thi.
'Huh?'
Suhana usse table ki neeche se zorr se chimti kaatne me lagi hui thi aur uski aankhein? Uski aankhein jese Veer ko khaa jaane waali nazro se dekh rahi thi.
Boht flirting soojh rahi hai haan? Ye le ab!
Mann me yahi soch rahi thi woh.
'Shiiitttt!'
Divya : Ahem!!! So? Introductions ho gaye! Kya ab hum jaan sakte hai? Kya matter hai?
Divya ne main topic ko firse uthaaya. Uske bagal se Veer aur Suhana khuspusaate hue ek dusre se jhagad rahe the par Divya ne Nat ki orr focus rakhna chaaha.
Nat : Right!
Ek haami bhar Nat ne apne aas paas baithe staff ko waha se baahar jaane ka ishaara kiya. Aur ab waha par keval wahi 4 log maujood the.
Ek lambi saans lete hue Nat ne unn teeno ko dekha aur fir boli,
Nat : I need your help!
Divya : Hmm? Woh toh main samajh gayi thi jab tumne call kiya tha. Say openly.
Nat (fir ek lambi saas lete hue) : I'm being threatened.
Veer : Huh?
Divya : Kya?
Suhana : ....!!!?
Nat : Yes!!! I'm being threatened.
Kehte hue usne ek card table par haatho se sarkaate hue aage kar diya.
Divya ne usse thaamte hue padha,
Divya : Hmm? You are being invited to the Royal Klink? Toh isme bura kya hai? Ye toh invitation hai.
Nat : Invitation hai. Par maut ka.
Veer : Kya matlab?
Nat : Matlab ye ki... Look! You guys must have heard about Charlotte?
Divya : Charlotte? Wait! Ye toh wahi emerging pop singer hai na? Jiski abhi recent me death ho gayi? Suicide kar liya tha usne?
Nat : Yes and no!
Suhana : What do you mean?
Nat : Charlotte aur mein contact me the. Wo ek emerging singer zaroor thi. And a very promising one at that. Par usne suicide nahi kiya tha. Jitna mein usse jaanti hu. Woh aisa kabhi kar hi nahi sakti. Never! Usne khud mujhe message kiya tha ki woh ek new album release karne wali hai. Par uske pehle hi woh...
Divya : So you are suggesting ki ye ek murder hai? Ek conspiracy?
Nat : Yes!!!
Suhana : How? Tum itni yakeen ke saath kese keh sakti ho? Mene article padha tha newspaper me Charlotte ka. Investigation hui thi uski suicide ko lekar. Lekin forensic reports me saaf saaf saamne aaya tha ki usne poison leke suicide kiya hai. Toxins se hi uski maut hui hai.
Nat : Aisa bhi toh ho sakta hai ki kisi ne usse poison diya ho? Woh kabhi aisa nahi kar sakti. I believe ki police ne uske case ko death by suicide ka naam deke band kar diya hai.
Veer taajub me sab kuch dekh sunn raha tha. Hairaan woh isliye tha ki Suhana ko inn sab baato ki bhi khabar thi. Flight ke dauraan toh woh magazine padhne me lagi hui thi. Ye sab padhne ka samay kab mila usse?
Toh wahi woh Nat ki baato se bhi achambhav me tha. Shayad maamla gambheer aur boht hi uljha hua tha.
Divya : Woh sab chorro. Ava... I mean Nat! Mujhe ye batao ki ye invitation tumhe kese mila aur tum ye kyu keh rahi ho ki ye maut ka invitation hai? Kya matlab hai tumhara iss baat se?
Nat : It's just as it sounds. Do you want to know why?
Divya : ???
Nat : Kyuki death ke pehle... Charlotte ko bhi ye invitation aaya tha.
Suhana : Huh? How did you kn--!?
Nat : Because she showed me a photo. Usse bhi same invitation aaya tha.
Suhana : So what? Iss se ye prove nahi hota ki Charlotte ki maut se iska koi connection hai. Right?
Suhana ki baat par Nat ek mazaakiya muskaan me usse dekhte hue sarr hilaayi jese maano Suhana ki investigation skills ki khilli udaa rahi ho.
Suhana : Wh-Whaaatttt? Y-You think mein bakwaas kar rahi hu? Huhhh? I can read gestures well okay? Are you mocking me? Huhh?
Iss se pehle ki woh aur bhadakti, achanak hi usse apni daayi jaangh par ek haath ka sparsh hua.
'????'
Dekha toh paaya ki Veer ka haath tha. Jese woh console kar raha tha usse shaant rehne ke liye. Hairaani ki baat ye thi ki ye tareeqa kaam bhi kar gaya. Suhana ekdum shaant ho gayi. Kahi na kahi, usse ye ehsaas accha lag raha tha. Veer ka usse aise support karna. Woh khush thi ki Nat jesi khubsoorat ladki ko dekhne ke baad bhi Veer ne apni team nahi badli thi. Woh abhi bhi uski team me tha. Nahi toh aksar aise mauke par ladke palti maar ke sundar ladkiyo ki chaatne lag jaate hai.
Par Veer alag tha.
Woh bagal se Veer ke chehre ko nihaarne lagi.
Aur idhar Veer ki nigaahein tiki zaroor Nat par thi par andar hi andar woh mann me,
'Pari!!!'
[Got it!]
*Ding*
[Basic Enemy Tracker is in use...]
[Tracking...]
*Ding*
[No enemies were found.]
'Hmmm!!! I see!'
Divya : Abhi bhi dots ko connect karne me mujhe problem ho rahi hai. Tum kehna kya chaahti ho?
Nat : What I mean to say is... Charlotte ko ye invitation aaya tha. She took a photo of it and then sent me. Lekin uske next din hi uski death ho gayi. Police searched for the details. But end me ek suicide case bana ke usse end kar diya. Ab same invitation mujhe aaya hai.
Divya : Toh tumhara matlab hai ki ye ek death trap hai?
Nat : Exactly!!!!
Suhana : Bakwaas! Hmph~ I'm sorry to say. But tumhari baato ka koi sense nahi bann raha hai.
Divya (frowns) : Kya tum iss Royal Klink ke baare me aur bata sakti ho kuch?
Nat : Mene jaan'ne ki koshish kii. I have some connections too. Par mujhe bas ek hi detail mil paayi hai.
Divya : I'm all ears. Fill me up!
Nat : Ek tarah ki party hoti hai. Usse hi Royal Klink ka naam diya gaya hai. You know? Wine glasses ko aapas me cheers karte hue... That kind of party... Log masks pehente hai idhar. Apni identity hide karne ke liye. That's it. Bas itna hi mujhe pata hai.
Divya : Hmm!!! Wine party... Royal... Huh!???? Wait!!!! Kya kaha tumne??
Nat : ???
Divya : Wine party???
Divya achanak hi hadbadaate hue Veer ko dekhi. Aur beshaq, Veer ki aankhein bhi hairaani ke maare feli hui thi.
Divya : V-Veeerrrr!!!!! Kya tum bhi wahi soch rahe ho jo mein soch rahi hu?
Veer (nods) : The thir-
Divya : Yessssssss!!!! The third one!!!! The third one!!!! Veeeerrrrr!!!!
Suhana : Huh? Ye tum dono...!?
Divya : Third criminal Suhana!!!! Third fucking criminal....!!! Jim, Nightwalker and now this.... Fuckkkk!!!
Suhana : Ahhh!!!?
Divya ne jese kuch bhaanp liya tha. Aur uska andaaza galat nahi tha. Kyuki Veer ne bhi ye bhaanp liya tha.
Wine!!! Royal!!! Inn do shabdo se hi Veer ko ek andaaza lag gaya tha.
Nightwalker kya karta tha? Drugs bech ke mehngi mehngi wines ka business. Aur woh wines woh kisi aur jagah bhejta tha.
Mehngi wines... Aur ab ye Royal Klink...
Kuch na kuch connection toh zaroor tha. Shayad paheli ki do dots ka yahi judaav tha.
Lekin tabhi,
Divya : No no no no noooooo!!! Noooooo!!!!
Divya sarr hilaate hue tension me aa gayi.
Nat : What is it?
Divya : Agar aisa hai toh... Shitttt!!!! Iska matlab ye seedha house of the killers se juda hua hai.
Nat : Wha-!? House of the killers?
Divya : Haan!!! Damn ittt!!! Fir ab ye ek private case nahi raha. Nat!! Hum pehle se hi ek boht badi gang of serial killers ke peeche investigation me lage hue hai. Aur jis hisaab se tumne details dii hai. I'm pretty sure ye house of the killers ka koi third member hi hai. What do you think Veer?
Veer (nods) : Hmm! I agree! Nightwalker wines kisi ko sell karta tha. Not to mention ki unme sabse mehngi se mehngi wines maujood thi. Aur royal klink ke naam se toh yahi maalum pad raha hai ki... Third member idhar se ho sakta hai.
Divya : That's right!!!! Nat! Ab ye case private nahi raha. Public ho chuka hai. So, you'll have to co-operate wi--
Nat : Not at all!!!!
Divya : Huh?
Nat : Mujhe apna naam criminal cases me nahi laana hai. That's the whole reason why I called you. Warna mein cops ko hi inform nahi kar deti seedha? I called you so that you could deal with it in private.
Divya : B-But... This matter is huge Nat... Aise me...
Nat : I can give you a hefty amount!
Nat ne ek taq jawaab diya. Amount shabd sunte hi Divya bhi chup reh gayi.
Divya : How much?
Nat : An amount which won't disappoint you!
*Silence*
Aur ek minute tak bas sannaata saa chha gaya.
Nat : Just don't involve my name in any of it. That's the only condition. So? Deal or not?
Suhana Divya ko hi ghoor ke dekh rahi thi. Idhar Divya ne ek lambi saans lii aur boli,
Divya : Done then! It's a deal!!!
Aur usne itna bola hi tha ki...
"You Bitcccchhhhhhhh!!!!"
Suhana zorr se bagal se chillaayi,
Divya : Wh-What???
Suhana : Fayda dikha nahi ki...
Divya : Shut up Suhana! Hmph! Dekho toh kaun bol raha hai? Khud toh harr samay profit hote hi apni gaa-- I mean... Apni jebo me thoos leti ho paise. Aur ab mujhe keh rahi ho? Hmph!
Suhana : Y-Youuuu!!!! Kya kaha tumne?? M-Mein iss tarah kisi ke kehne par...
Divya : What? Ab mirchi lag gayi haan?
Suhana : Fuck off bitchhhh!!!
Divya : Ohh shut the fuck up...!!!
Inn dono ki behas jese hi shuru hui toh Veer dono ke beech baithe jese chakki me gehu ki tarah pis raha tha. Usne ek lambi aah chorri,
'Pari!!!'
*Ding*
[Intimidating Presence has been equipped.]
Aur ye equip hote hi,
Veer : THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!!!
Veer ne zorr se buland awaaz me kaha.
*Silence*
Ek ghanghor khamoshi chhaa gayi. Dono Suhana aur Divya sann hoke reh gayi. Intimidating Presence! Jesa naam wesa kaam. Veer ki Presence aisi ho gayi thi jese maano woh sabhi ek Raja ke saamne baithe ho.
Aankho me tej, baithne ka dhang, uske chehre ke bhaav, buland awaaz aur uska aura.
Sab jese unhe hairat me daal diya. Uska courage, wisdom, willpower, aur confidence sab 200% badh chuka tha.
Suhana : I... I...
Suhana ke muh se kuch nikal hi na paaya. Woh ekdum bakri ki tarah seedhi bann ke baith gayi.
Veer : Agar sab kuch ho gaya hai toh hume ab chalna chahiye.
Divya : R-Right!!!
Divya bhi thodi sehmi hui haan me gardan hilaayi aur Nat se deal final kar woh sabhi waha se uth ke baahar ke liye jaane lage.
Nat khud hairat me sab kuch dekh rahi thi. Ye hua kya tha abhi abhi?
Kherr! Jo bhi tha, bada hi vichitr tha.
Teeno hotel ke baahar aa chuke the. Aur Suhana Divya dono hi Veer ko chori chhipe dekh rahi thi baar baar.
Unhe andar se aisa mehsoos ho raha tha jese Veer me achanak hi koi naya shaks ghus aaya tha. Jese koi ek Raja ka... Ya ek badhshah ka... Ek supreme king ki personality jese...
Par harr fayde ke saath saath uske nuksaan bhi the.
Intimidating Presence Off nahi ho sakta tha. Ek baar lagaya toh iska effect poore samay rehta tha. Aur saath hi ab Veer 24 ghante ke liye Beowulf's Blessings equip nahi kar sakta tha. Ye ek duwidha zaroor thi.
Veer : What now?
Divya : R-Right!!! Nat ne invitation card mujhe diya hai. Address diya hua hai yaha. Mujhe abhi hi ek kaam karna padega.
Suhana : Ab kya??
Divya : Kisi se milne jaana hai. You can leave if you want. Take my car.
Suhana : Fine then!!! Main jaa rahi hu ghar. Mujhe wese hi neend aa rahi hai. It was too tiring for me. I'm leaving...!
Divya : Hmm! Ye lo keys! Veer!! Come with me! Hume ek jagah aur chalna hai.
Suhana : K-Kyaaa??? V-Veer?? Veer ko kyu? Kaha jaa rahi ho tum.
Divya : Kya hua? Mene kaha na ek kaam hai. Usse abhi hi karna hai.
Suhana : Haan! P-Par Veer ko kyu...!?
Divya : Arre? Veer rahega saath me toh accha rahega na. Wese bhi... A young hot woman... Strolling alone in Las Vegas... Yadi mujhe kuch ho gaya toh? Haan? Kaun jawaab daar rahega?
Suhana : Y-Youuuu!!!! Bitch...!!!!
Divya : Hmph! Go away now bitch! Nik bhi department se laut hi raha hoga. Ghar par koi rehna chahiye darwaza kholne ke liye. C'mon! Let's go veer!
Kehte hue Divya apni gaand matkaate hue mud ke chali gayi. Aur idhar Suhana apna muh fula ke usse bas gusse me dekhti reh gayi.
Jab usne Veer ko dekha toh bas uske nazdeek aayi aur uske kaano me dheere se boli,
"Don't let her eat you up!!!"
Aur bas, itna bol woh Divya ki car leke waha se ravaana ho gayi.
Veer muskuraate hue waha se mud Divya ke paas aaya aur dono cab kar kisi jagah chal diye.
Veer : So?
Divya : Kya?
Veer : Aapne Miss Natalia ki deal accept kar lii hai. Toh ab Investigation department se inn baato ko kese chhipaogi aap?
Divya : Mujhe karna kya hai? I can say anything! Keh dungi ki mujhe third criminal ke baare me pata lag gaya hai. Aur mene action bhi lena shuru kar diya hai.
Veer : Agar woh puche kese aur kaha se pata laga toh?
Divya : Keh dungi ki mujhe kisi ne bataaya tha. Gawaahi dene ke liye mere paas boht se log hai. Tum aur Suhana bhi toh ho unme se. Haha~
Veer : You...!!
Divya : Ab tum bhi uss nakchidi Suhana ki tarah bitch bolne waale the kya mujhe?
Veer : No!!! I was just... Surprised a bit.
Divya (smiles) : Mujhe bas department me itna hi batana hai ki third criminal ki khabar mil chuki hai. Detectives investigation me lag jayenge. Mere paas unhe ghumaane ke liye kayi tareeqe hai. At the same time, hum Natalia ki problem bhi solve kar denge. Mujhe mera fayda bhi ho jayega. Department ki taraf se fir alag paisa. That's what we call hitting two birds with one stone.
Veer uski harr baat sunn bas muskura raha tha. Toh aise inn mohtarma ne itna bada ghar banaaya tha. Waqai! Dimaag toh tha Divya me boht.
*Screeeeeeccccchhhh*
Gaadi ruki, aur dono Veer aur Divya baahar nikle.
Ek bar tha ye. Koi zyaada bada nahi tha. Lekin slot machines ek ke baad ek lagi hui thi. Aur kuch log abhi bhi lottery nikaalne me lage hue the.
Divya : Tum yaha mera intezar karo. Mein abhi aati hu.
Veer : You sure you don't want me in there?
Divya (winks) : I do want you inside! Hahaha~
Veer ko cherrte hue woh andar chali gayi. Double meaning jokes toh koi Divya se karwa le.
Andar jaate hi Divya ki nazar ek ladke par padi. Kareeb 28-29 ki umr ka prateet ho raha tha.
Divya uske sameep gayi aur usne uske kandhe par thap thapaate hue usse uthaaya. Shayad thodi beer pee rakhi thi usne.
Woh ladka utha aur Divya ko saamne dekh woh muskuraaya,
"Ohhh!!! Look who's here? Hahahaha!!! M-My dear Divi!!! Hehehe~"
Divya : Don't fuck with me Fred!!! I have a job for you! Are you interested or not?
Fred : Interested? Of course!! O-Of course I'm interested! Heh~
Usne Divya ko upar se neeche taulti hui nazro se dekha. Divya ki bauhe sikudi, par woh boli kuch nahi.
Uske baad Divya ne poori baatein bataayi aur pucha,
Divya : Now tell me? Can you do it?
Fred : How much Divi? Hehehe~ You know I charge a lot!!!
Divya : Much better than the last time. Now say?
Fred (surprised) : Ohhhh!!! Alright! You got me! Hehe~
Divya : Good!
Abhi wo palatne hi waali thi ki tabhi Fred ne uske gore gore kandhe par apne haath rakh diye.
Divya : What are you doiiinnnggg????
Fred : Heh~ Let's have some fun baby!
Divya : YOU FUCKER!!!! GET AWAY YOU BASTARD!!!! *kicks*
Fred : Arrghh!
Aur ek taang Fred ke perr par maar woh waha se palat ke baahar nikal aayi.
Divya : Fucking Moron... Bastard...!!! Dickhead...!!! Hmph!!!
Woh badbadaate hue baahar nikli toh Veer usse sawaliya nazro se dekha,
Veer : Kya hua?
Divya : Umm... N-Nothing!
Dono tahalte hue cab ka wait karne lage. Aur chalte chalte hi,
Divya achanak hi apni peeth Veer ke aage kar khadi hui,
Divya : Can you... Can you fix this?
Uski gori makhmali peeth Veer ke saamne thi. Woh apne gale me pehni hui chain ko fix karne ki baat kar rahi thi.
Veer ne apne haath aage badhaaye. Par jese hi uske haath Divya ki peeth se sparsh hue,
*Ding*
[Mystic Touch has been triggered.]
'Ehhh!?'
"Nnnnhhhhhhhggghhhh!!!!"
Ek loud moan Divya ke muh se nikli.
"Ahhhh!!!!" Ekdum bhauchakii sii hote hue usne apne muh par dono haath rakh apni awaaz roki. Par Veer ne sab kuch sunn liya tha.
'Ohhh!!! Fuckkk!!! Mystic touch? Iss samay? Fuuuckkkk!!! Why now?'
[Enjoy! Hahaha~ ]
Iss baar Divya ke gaal surkh laal ho rakhe the. Upar se Veer ne Intimidating Presence bhi equip kar rakha tha.
Woh Veer se alag hone ke liye palti, par usse dhakelte samay jese hi uska haath Veer ke seene par pada...
"Nnnnghhhhhh!!!!!"
Seene ki garmaahat usse madhosh kar baithi. Uska haath Veer ke seene se alag hi na hua.
Divya : What's... What's happening to me?
Uski aankhein ekdum nasheeli ho rakhi thi. Aur woh jhukte jhukte Veer ke chehre ke qareeb aati jaa rahi thi.
Divya : N-Nooo! I... I can't... I can't let this happen... V-Veeeerrr!!!
Woh uske gaal se lag gayi.
Aur agle hi pal,
"Mmmmmphhhhhhhhh!!!!!!?!!"
Divya ke gulaabi raseele honth Veer ke hontho se jaa lage. Labo ka labo se sparsh hote hi Divya ka poora jism thitur utha.
Veer ne bhi fir ek pal na gawaaya, uski patli kamar ko apne haatho me jakad usne Divya ko poori tarah se apni baaho me jakad liya.
*Slurp* *slllurrrrppppp*
"Mmmmmmm~ Nnnnghhhh!!!! Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!! Ssssssss~"
Aur dono iss meethe aur thode geele chumban me kho gaye. Haath me jab Divya jesi maal aa rahi ho toh Veer kese peeche reh sakta tha?
Uske haath bhi Divya ke badan ki mashoor jagaho ko khojne me nikal pade.
Par tabhi,

LAJWAAB....LAJWAAB....LAJWAABUpdate - 104 ~ The Grand Concert
Ab tak...
Akhir issi ke liye toh woh shopping karne bhi aaye the. Divya ne jo call card Suhana ko fek ke diya tha, uske sang ek flyer bhi tha.
Jo tha...
Aur akhir me jo card usne feka tha Suhana ke muh pe woh tha, ek invitation card.
Aur, Invitation tha...
Natalia Martin ka...
Ab aage...
Las Vegas...
Downtown...
Evening ~ 7:54 PM
*Screeeeeeeeeeeccccchhhhhh*
Car aake seedha ruki. Andar maujood the Veer aur Suhana jo abhi abhi Forum shops at Caesers se aa rahe the. Dono hi acche kapde pehne hue the.
*Thud*
Woh baahar nikle aur car ka darwaza band hua.
Veer : Kaha hai Miss Divya?
Suhana : Usne kaha tha ki woh entrance ke baahar ek club hai waha milegi. Dekho aas paas, koi club wagarah dikh raha hai kya?
Veer ne nazre ghumaayi toh paas hi usse ek club dikhaayi diya.
Veer : Call karna better hoga I guess.
Suhana : Hmm! Wait a minute!
Veer ki baat maan kar Suhana ne Divya ko call lagaaya aur baat karte hi unhe pata chala ki woh ussi club me thi, jaha Veer dekh raha tha.
Suhana : Andar hi hai woh waha uss waale club me. Let's go!
Dono hi bheetar ki orr chal diye. Lagbhag 8 baj rahe the aur club ke andar ka mahaul masti aur jagmagaati dj lights se bhara pada tha.
Thirakte log, loud speakers par bajte angrezi gaane, cocktails enjoy karte log, sofe par baithe VIPs aur adh nange kapdo me naachti ladkiya.
Veer aur Suhana unn logo ke beech se nikalne ke liye aage badhe tabhi itne me ek nashe me dhutt gori ladki Veer ki chhaathi se aake chipak gayi.
Apni patli kamar ko woh yu matkaate hue, apni nasheeli aankho se usse rijhaane lagi,
Veer ki nazre uss ladki ko upar se neeche tak scan kar rahi thi. Ladki khubsoorat toh thi. Par, Veer ke mann me ek hi baat nikli,
'I have zero interest in you, girl!'
[Hahahaha~]
Aur uski iss baat par Pari bhi hass uthi. Veer ko 36 kaam the. Yadi woh aisi aisi harr ek ladkiyo par girne laga toh woh kahi ka nahi reh paega. Aur wese bhi, Kaera, Sonia, Suhana, Ragini jaisi ladies ke muqaable iss ladki ki sundarta feeki maalum pad rahi thi.
Bas ek nazar daal usne apni nazre mod li, aur idhar Suhana ne jab ye sab dekha toh woh Veer ki kalaayi thaam usse kheech kar aage badh gayi,
Suhana : Tumhe mazza toh bada aa raha hoga, hai na?
Veer : Hmm? Kyu bhala?
Suhana : Saamne se ladki aake chipak rahi thi. Itne bhole kyu bann rahe ho?
Veer : Uski jagah agar koi aur aake chipakta toh shayad mazza aa jaata.
Jese hi usne ye kaha, Suhana chalte chalte achanak hi ruk gayi aur peeche palat ke uski aankho me dekhi.
Kehna kya chaah raha tha ye ladka? Kahi woh...!?
Kahi woh ye toh nahi kehna chaah raha tha ki uss ladki ki jagah Suhana khud hoti toh...!!
Dono ka ye eye contact 5 se 6 seconds ke liye bana raha. Na Veer ne kuch kaha aur na hi Suhana ne. Ek ajeeb sa atmosphere janm le raha tha unn dono ke beech.
Lekin, Suhana ne agle hi pal uss atmosphere ko bhang kar diya. Woh waapas mudi aur Veer ke haath ko thaam andar ki orr usse le jaane lagi.
Bina kuch kahe hi, unn dono ke beech kuch na kuch baatein toh zaroor ho chuki thi. Sirf ek dusre ke naino se. Jese Suhana parakhna chaah rahi thi ki kya Veer ka ishaara uski orr tha? Aur Veer ye dekhna chaah raha tha ki kya Suhana ne uski baato ko apne upar liya tha? Aur yadi liya tha toh woh kya karne wali thi? Parantu, naino ki kashmakash zyaada derr na chali. Dono hi ek rikt sthaan par aa kar atak chuke the.
Iss rikt sthaan ko bharne ke liye dono ko hi apne mann ki baatein saamne rakhne ki zaroorat thi. Jo dono hi nahi karne waale the.
Woh punaah aage badhe aur andar jese hi woh pohuche, woh ek naye hall me pravesh kar gaye.
Lights aur bhi dim thi yaha, ye ek prakaar se rest room ki tarah tha. Baahar ka shor yaha kam sunaayi de raha tha. Jagah jagah mirrors lage hue the jidhar anya ladkiya khadi hoke apna apna make-up theek karne me lagi hui thi.
Aur unhi me se ek jagah khadi hui thi,
Divya!!!
Veer : Woh rahi aapki dear friend.
Usne ishaara karte hue kaha. Suhana ne nazre daudaati hue dekha toh Divya waha khadi mirror me khud ko sawaar rahi thi.
Aur Veer jese hi aage badha, Divya ne mirror me se unn dono ko aate dekh liya.
Woh aaiyne me Veer ko ghoor rahi thi.
Suhana : Chale bhi ab?
Divya : Hmm! Kyu nahi!? Let's go!
Suhana : Toh isliye tumne mujhe yaha bulaaya tha haan?
Divya : Phone par bataya toh tha na mene.
Suhana : Tumne kaha tha ki ek client ne tumhe contact kiya hai. Tumne ye nahi bataaya tha ki woh client kaun tha. The fact that it turned out to be her... Ava!!!!
Divya : Ab usse Natalia kehke bulao Suhana. Celebrity se kam nahi hai ab woh. Iss ek saal me poori music industry par keher barsa ke rakh diya hai usne. Jidhar dekho bas ussi ke gaane chhaa rahe hai aaj kal.
Suhana ye sunn ek chinta me doob gayi.
Divya : Ab kya sochne lagi?
Suhana : I just don't get it. Last time mene usse bachpan me hi dekha tha. Sonu ke sang. Aur mujhe tab aisa kuch bhi yaad nahi tha ki woh singing me talented hai. Aur ab...
Divya : People change Divya. Usne mehnat toh kari hi hogi. Iss tarah ki awaaz aur itni fan following. Sirf paisa fekne se nahi mil jaati.
Suhana : ...
Veer : Umm! Hum chal rahe hai na?
Divya (smiles) : Of course!
Muskuraate hue woh Veer ke bagal se aayi aur teeno hi baahar ki orr nikalne lage,
Chalte chalte hi Divya dheere se Veer ke paas aayi aur,
Divya : Hey!!! Kaisi lag rahi hu mein?
Veer ne uss par upar se neeche nazar daali aur usse ye maan'na hi pada ki Divya ki personality bhale hi kaisi bhi thi, par aaj lag toh ekdum pataka rahi thi.
Veer : Good!
Divya (smiles) : Bas good? Am I not looking hot?
Veer : Ahem! You do actually...!
Veer ki honesty par woh usse muskuraate hue dekhi, ye muskaan sach me aisa laga jese ekdum sacchi thi.
'Is this the real you?' Veer ke mann me uski awaaz aayi.
Yaha se ravaana hote hi woh pohuch gaye downtown me, jaha Natalia ka music concert rakha gaya tha.
Baahar logo ki line toh aise lagi thi, prateet ho raha tha jese poora Vegas hi yaha utar aaya tha.
Veer : What the...!?
Divya : Dekh rahi ho craze Suhana? Ye wahi Ava hai jo Sonia ke saath bachpan me khelti thi. Fans dekh rahi ho uske? Hahaha~ I don't even remember last time mene kab itni bheed dekhi thi ek saath.
Suhana : Andar chalo warna aur dikkat hoegi hume.
Jese hi Veer andar jaane ke liye hua toh achanak hi uske peripheral vision me ek jaana maana shaks dikhaayi diya.
'Huhhhh!?? Zoeyyy??'
Suhana : Veer??? Kaha kho gaye?
Veer : Aap dono andar chaliye mein aata hu.
Suhana : Arre par...!?
Veer itna bol waha se uss bheed me alag disha me ghus gaya aur ek pal me hi tamaam janta ke beech kahi gaayab ho gaya.
Divya : Woh aa jaega. Let's go!
Suhana : Nahi!!! Usse aa jaane dete hai fir...
Divya : Accha baba! Ek kaam karte hai iss entrance ke andar toh chal dete hai? Yaha boht bheed ho rahi hai. Andar hum uska wait kar lenge.
Suhana ne haami bhari aur woh dono hi andar chali gayi. Woh Veer ko yu akela nahi chorrna chaahti thi.
Idhar Veer bhaari bharkam bheed me Zoey ko peeche peeche follow karte hue uske paas badi mushqil se pohucha aur usne peeche se hi Zoey ka haath thaam usse palta diya,
Veer : What are you doing here?
Zoey : Wha-!?
Wo palti aur Veer ko saamne dekh hairaan reh gayi.
Zoey : Veeeerrr!!!!!
Veer : Yeah! You here?
Zoey : Ahhh! I...
Uska sarr neeche jhuk gaya.
Veer : What happened?
Zoey : It's... I just came here to return the dress. There's a famous shop here. And when I was passing by... I got lost! Too many people... You know...
Apne kandhe uchkaate hue woh thoda uncomfortable way me boli,
Veer : Returning dress? Why so?
Zoey apni ek behad sundar sii dress ko return karne aayi thi. Jo ki yahi ek shop se lii gayi thi.
Zoey : Because I rented it... Ahahaha~
Woh sharminda hote hue boli. Baat saaf thi. Woh wese hi paiso ko lekar tangi me thi. Mansion me bhi usne apni kismat azmaana chaaha tha par uske haath kuch na laga. Ulta jaan aur gawa baithi thi woh.
Zoey ne ek dress yaha se rent par lii thi, ye soch ke ki fashion modeling ke photoshoot ke dauraan, uski ye photos bade bade magazine photographers tak shayad pohuch jaaye aur woh usse apne saath kaam karne ke liye bulaaye.
Par jesa usne socha tha wesa kuch na hua. Unn photographers ne Zoey ko kam se kam semi nude hone ka keh diya tha. Zoey unn chand ladkiyo me se ek thi jo nudity me apna haath nahi daalna chaahti thi. Aksar usse log taane maarte the ki model bann'ne ke sapne dekhna woh chorr de.
Jo ladki nudity accept nahi kar sakti woh kya khaak model banegi. Sach kaha jaaye toh fashion ki duniya me aisi nagnata ko normal hi maana jaata hai. Zoey ek aisi model bann'na chaahti thi jo bina nudity ke bhi, keval apni khubsoorti aur figure ke bal par poori fashion industry ko dominate kar ke rakh de.
Par afsos, hum jesa chaahte hai zaroori nahi ki wesa hi ho. Usse ek push ki zaroorat thi bas. Bas thoda paisa kharch karne ki zaroorat hi. Lekin dikkat bhi toh yahi thi. Uske paas paisa nahi tha.
Veer Zoey ka status jaanta tha. Aur usne ek baar me hi sab bhaanp liya tha.
Zoey : I... I must go now! I cannot miss my train. Otherwise I won't be able to afford any more tickets. Ahaha~
Wo firse nakli hassi dete hue hassi aur mudi,
Veer : Wait!!!
Zoey : Huh?
Veer ne usse rok liya. Peeche mud jab usne Veer ko dekha toh...
Veer apni blazer ki jeb se kuch nikaal raha tha.
Usne ek kaagaz ka panna nikaala aur Zoey ke haath me thama diya.
[Ehhhh? M-Maasterrrr???]
Kuch pal toh Zoey idhar Veer ko hi dekhti rahi lekin jab usne neeche uss kaagaz par gaur kiya toh uski aankhein achambhav ke maare fel uthi,
Zoey : Wh-Whaaatttt??? N-Noooo!!! What are you doing?
Woh kaagaz koi aisa wesa kaagaz nahi tha. Cheque tha woh. Wahi cheque jo Veer ko reward ke roop me investigation department se mila tha. Nightwalker ko jo pakdaaya tha usne.
Kayi hazaaro dollars ka cheque tha woh. Aur ye reward Veer ka tha.
Veer : Have it!! You need it more than me.
Zoey : What?? No!!! I can't take this. Not at all!!!
Aur usne woh waapas usse thamaane ki koshish kari, par Veer na maana. Jab uski ek na chali toh woh Veer ki zidd ke aage haar hi gayi,
Zoey : B-But... No! I just can't...
Zoey ki apni ek pride thi. Yadi wo paise chaahti toh nudity me ghus kar na jaane kitne kama leti. Par usne aisa nahi kiya. Toh bhala woh Veer ke haath se ye paise free me kese le sakti thi? Iss baat ko Veer samajh chuka tha. Isliye,
Veer (smiles) : Then you can repay me. One day when you'll become a famous model. At that time think of me... You'll find me in Mumbai, India. I hope by that time, I would have made a name of myself.
Veer ne uski saari problem ek sentence me solve kar dii. Usne Zoey ko udhaar ke roop me ye paise diye. Beshaq, ab Zoey ki pride ko utna dhakka nahi laga tha. Uske zehen me bhi yahi baat thi ab ki woh udhaar le rahi thi. Na ki free me usse ye paise taras khaa ke diye jaa rahe the.
Aasuo ki komal komal boonde apne aap uski aankho se nikal padi, wo rote hue dhundhli aankho se apne haath me uss cheque ko dekh rahi thi.
Zoey : I'll remember this. I'll definitely repay you back some day. I promise...!
Par jab tak usne apni nazre upar kar Veer ko dekha, tab tak Veer palat ke dur jaa chuka tha. Usne bina mude hi apna haath hawa me uthaaya aur goodbye ka ishaara kar woh dobaara se uss bheed me kho gaya.
Zoey apni aankho se aasu poch ek antim baar Veer jis orr gaya uss disha me dekhi aur apni suitcase utha ke woh palat ke nikal gayi.
***
Idhar Veer jese hi kuch qadam hi aage badha tha jab,
*Ding*
[Zoey's favourability has been increased by 40.]
[Master! Pehle mein surprised thi. Par at the end, aapne ek sahi kaam kiya. She needed that cheque.]
'Pari! Kayi baar hume rishte bhi banaane padte hai.'
[Par Master agar future me Zoey aapka kiya hua ye favour bhul gayi aur kabhi bhi aapko repay nahi kiya toh?]
'Toh kya? Toh kuch nahi Pari! Woh kahavat toh suni hi hogi. Neki kar, dariya me daal.'
[Thats... Indeed! Master!]
Veer muskuraaya aur aage badh concert ke venue ki entrance me ghus gaya.
***
"Kaha reh gaye the tum???"
Ghuste hi usse bagal se Suhana ki awaaz sunaayi dii. Dono Divya aur woh uska hi intezaar kar rahi thi.
Veer (smiles) : Emergency!!!
Suhana : Kyaaaa?? Aur piyo dherr saara paani car me baithe baithe... Arre mall me bhi toh...
Divya : Enough!!!! Suhana! Hum pehle hi late hai. Let's go!
Divya usse kheech ke lete hue aage badhi, aur idhar Suhana peeche palat ke Veer ko apni aankhein sikodte hue dekhi jese kehna chaah rahi ho ki ye lecture woh baad me sunaaegi usse.
Veer andar hi andar mand mand muskuraaya. Kabhi kabhi ye Suhana ekdum bacchiyo jese behave karne lagti thi. Aisa lagta tha jese uski dusri personality maano baahar aa rahi ho.
Veer, Divya aur Suhana jese hi venue me enter kiye, woh andar ka nazaara dekh ke hi dang reh gaye.
Concert itna bhavya tha ki kehne ke liye shabd nahi the unke paas.
Dherr saari jagmagaati lights, aasmaan tak unki rays feli hui thi, smoke pipes se dhua uth raha tha, bhaari maatra me log thirak rahe the, saamne behad badi sii screen me Natalia dikhaayi de rahi thi jo stage ke beecho beech behad khubsoorat dress pehne khadi hui thi.
Shayad woh gaana shuru karne hi waali thi.
Veer aur baaki sab excited logo ke beech se apna raasta khojte hue aage badhe. Vip seats ki orr, jo sabse aage maujood thi. Woh late the. Warna unhe aise bheed ke beech me se nahi aana padta.
Par Veer unn logo ke beech se guzarte waqt...
*Ding*
Uski aankho me achanak pal bhar ke liye laali chhaayi. Aur usne aas paas idhar se udhar nazre firaate hue dekha. Uski aankhein baaj ki tarah logo ko scan karne lagi.
Woh ek pal bhi bekaar nahi jaane dena chaahta tha. Nightwalker ke mansion me hoke aane ke baad usne system ko aur efficiently aur fast use karna shuru kar diya tha. Woh jaanta tha ye kitna zaroori tha.
Suhana jo aage chal rahi thi woh achanak se peeche mudi, aur jese hi usne Veer ko dekha,
Veer ki aankhein waapas se normal ho chuki thi.
Suhana : Hmm? Is something wrong?
Veer : Nothing! Keep moving!
Suhana : Hmm!
Aur Suhana ke firse mudte hi,
*Ding*
Unn aankho me laali firse janm le uthi.
Sab kuch itni tezzi se hua ki Suhana ko pata bhi nahi chala ki Veer ne abhi abhi uske bagal se khade hoke Beowulf activate karke inn chand seconds me hi apne aas paas ka jayza bhi le liya tha. Ye sab kuch seconds me hua. Woh itna tezz ho chuka tha system use karne me. Pari bhi jese uski saari mann ki baate samajhti thi. Ek pal nahi laga usse Veer ke thoughts ko poora karne me.
Within seconds, Pari ne Beowulf activate kiya aur waapas se deactivate kar diya. Aur Suhana ke mudne ke baad firse activate kar diya. Veer aur Pari ke beech koi baat bhi nahi hui. Jese Pari ab apne Master ke liye aur fast aur efficient ho chuki thi. Sab kuch bina kahe hi ho gaya. Unhe aapas me baat karne ki zaroorat hi nahi padi.
Filhaal, Veer ko aas paas se aisa kuch bhi nahi sunaayi diya jo charcha ya chinta ka vishay bane aur na hi usse kuch aisa dikhayi diya. Jo ki ek raahat waali baat thi. Aur isliye usne Beowulf deactivate kar diya.
Woh jese tese uss bheed se nikal aage aaye. Ekdum aage. Saamne Lambe lambe white sofe rakhe hue the. Keval Vip logo ke liye. Aur kayi saare Vip pehle se hi waha baithe the. Woh Veer, Suhana aur Divya ko hi dekh rahe the.
Baahar do guards the jo VIP invitations check kar rahe the. Divya ne invitation card unn guards ko thamaaya aur guards ne unhe andar jaane de diya.
Divya apne sofe ke upar lage tag me apne naam ke paas pohuchi aur Veer aur Suhana ko ishara kar usne aage bulaaya.
Teeno uss sofe par baith gaye.
Aur udhar upar bade se stage par Guitarist, drummer aur anya musicians Natalia ke ird gird apni jagah par baithe instruments set karna shuru karne lage.
*Booooooooooommmm*
Stage ke saamne se fireworks upar hawa me ude, janta ka shor tatha hooting shuru hui,
Aur Veer ne jese hi nazdeek se A
Natalia ko dekha, woh wahi jamm ke reh gaya.
'Huhhh!!!'
[Okay! I admit. She's gorgeous!]
Aur Pari ne bhi apni haami bhar dii.
Natalia behad khubsoorat thi. Veer ne kabhi nahi socha tha ki usse Kaera aur Sonia jesi ke level ki koi ladki itni jaldi usse issi janm me dekhne ko mil jaegi.
*Badump*
Uska dil ek dhadkan jese phaand gaya.
Aur agle hi shan,
'Check!'
Veer ne Natalia ko check kiya. Lekin jese hi usne check kiya, Natalia ki aankhein turant hi Veer par tikk gayi. Woh stage se seedha usse ghoor rahi thi.
'Hhuhhh??? Whattt??'
Par fir Veer ne dhyaan diya, ki Natalia ne sirf usse hi nahi, Divya aur Suhana ko bhi dekha. Aur ek halki sii nod dii bas.
Uske baad usne fir gaana shuru kiya.
I know it's fading, going away from my hands,
It never was there, had fooled me till the end.
Feelings of mine.... Yet keepin' meeee aliiiiiiive!
Nobody wants to see the pain behiiiiiiinnnd...
Closed my heart, and now I'm on my miiiiinnd...
Slippin' away from my grip...
There goes my wish...
And, letting go I no longer need that vile paaaassstttttttt....
Natalia ki awaaz poore venue me goonj uthi.
Janta ka shor umad utha.
Koi instruments nahi baje the. Sirf aur sirf uski awaaz hi thi. Aur jis tarah se usne ye gaaya tha. Uss awaaz ke peeche ek alag hi dard tha. Aur kya hi kamaal ki powerful voice thi. Par saath hi utni hi madhur.
Uski awaaz itni alag thi ki sunte hi Veer ke shareer ke raungte khade ho gaye. Uski aankhein apne aap band ho gayi. Aur sirf Veer hi nahi tha. Suhana aur Divya ka bhi yahi haal tha.
Suhana ye bhi jaan gayi thi ab ki kyu itni zyaada bheed thi Natalia ke liye. She was too good! Live stage par aise live gaana. Koi notes miss nahi ho rahe the. Harr ek high note ekdum sahi laga tha uska. Aur awaaz zara bhi nhi ladkhadaayi unn high notes ko lagaane me.
Kitni practice chaahiye hoti thi iske liye ye baat Suhana bhali bhaati jaanti thi. Akhir uski contact me bhi kayi bade singers the. Par Natalia ki aaj iss awaaz live sunn'ne ke baad jese woh saare singers ab pheeke maalum pad rahe the.
Ye gaana Natalia ne abhi release nahi kiya tha. Ye sirf aane waale gaane ki kuch panktiya thi jo usne concert shuru karne se pehle gaayi aur excitement ke chalte janta udhar utne me hi paagal ho uthi.
Such was her craze!!!
Uske baad fir music aayi, fir jaake thoda mahaul party jesa hua aur vibe bani.
Suhana : Ek ghante ke upar ho gaya hai. Hum kab tak yaha baithe rahenge?
Divya : Meri baat ho chuki hai uss se. Usne kaha tha ki... Concert ke baad hi dinner me hume uske saath join karna hai. Aur udhar hi wo saari baatein bataegi.
Suhana : Matlab poora concert bhar yaha baithna hoga?
Divya : What is it? Tumhe toh glad hona chahiye. Finall getting to witness Natalia. Fufufu~ Should I call Sonia? Batau usse uski bachpan ki friend ke concert me baithe hai humlog. Hmm?
Suhana (aankh dikhaate hue) : You better not!!!
Divya : Hahahaha~
Suhana beech me thi. Veer aur Divya uske bagal se baithe huye the aur apne aap hi uska haath Veer ki jaangh par anayaas hi chala gaya.
Veer par uska dhyaan nahi tha. Aisa lag raha tha jese woh kisi baat ko kekar chintit thi.
Veer : What's up?
Suhana : ????
Veer : Mene pucha kya hua? Kya soch rahi ho aap?
Suhana : Ahh! Wo mein...
Veer : Hmm?
Suhana : I just... Tum jaante ho ki Ava... I mean Natalia Sonu ki childhood friend rahi hai. Par uske jaane ke baad se hamaare aur uske beech contact jese khatam sa hi ho gaya hai. Aaj usse yaha aise dekh ke bas shocked hu thoda. I never saw her singing in the past...
Veer : Tab woh boht choti rahi hongi... Maybe India se jaane ke baad unhone apne passion ko follow kiya ho?
Suhana : Yeah!!! Maybe...
***
Samay guzra aur dekhte hi dekhte ye vishaal concert apne ant ke qareeb pohucha.
Dekhte hi dekhte saari janta apne apne ghar ke liye jaldbaazi me nikalne lagi. Concert behad hit tha. Par Veer aur dono sundariya waapas jaane ki bajaaye venue ke bagal waale gate se baahar gaye.
Udhar hi ek behad badi 5 star hotel thi. Aur uske hi campus me dherr saari bheed ikhatta hui padi thi.
Photographers se leke reporters toh wahi haatho me phone liye Natalia ke fans...
Natalia hotel se baahar nikal rahi thi. Uski kaali cham chamaati dress stairs par lathadte hue peeche peeche aa rahi thi.
Woh campus tak aayi toh uske chehre par flashes ki bauchhaar shuru ho gayi.
*Click* *Click* *Click*
Par woh seedha apni vanity van ki orr chali gayi.
Aur idhar bodyguards ne saari janta aur tamaam reporters athwa photographers ko wahi rok liya.
Natalia ne apne kapde change kiye aur ek top aur uske upar black jacket daal woh hotel me waapas chali gayi.
***
Idhar Veer ki toli andar jaane ka wait kar rahe the. Natalia ke bodyguards ne unhe baahar thehra ke rakha hua tha kyuki tab tak Natalia change karne me lagi hui thi.
Suhana : What the hell?? Sonu ki childhood friend hai woh. Aur dekho toh... Humko anjaan samajh ke wait karwa rahi hai. I just...
Divya : People change Suhana... People change...
Suhana : Just like you, right?
Divya : Ugghh!! Y-Youuuu...
Suhana : Hmph!!!
Veer bas muskuraa raha tha. Usse pata tha Suhana aisi situations me pakke se trigger ho jaati hai. Aur wahi hua. Suhana ka ego hurt hua tha. Kese nahi badbadaaegi woh?
Kuch derr ke intezaar ke baad hi unhe andar jaane ke kiye allowed kar diya gaya.
Aur jese hi woh andar pohuche...
Natalia wahi baithi hui thi. Ek table ke paas ek seat par. Dinner yahi hona tha.
Usne teeno ko aate hue dekha aur bas ek halki sii muskaan ke saath boli,
"Welcome!!! Have a seat!!!"

Aaj ke liye itna hi guys!
Some updates takes time. Remember this well. I had to make my own lyrics for that Natalia's song. Searching for accurate relevant images takes time as well. Toh likes thok ke jaane ka aur revos rakhne ka.
Dhanyavaad!
