In The Garden Of Virtue & Vice

'Fresher's Party (4)'

'Tumlog ko koi kaam dhang se nahi aata hai. Bola tha na picha karne uss bande ka!!' A guy shouted on his phone.

'Sorry sir!! But hume lagta hai ki usko shaq ho gya tha ki koi uska picha kar raha hai' The guy on the other side said.

'Chalo thik hai!! But mujhe iske baad koi bhi mistake nahi chahie. Did you get that!!' He said & hung up the call. He turned around & widened his eyes.

'Tu yaha kya kar raha hai rohit??' Sumedh asked. Rohit sighed.

'Nahi kuch nahi..chal na bahar' Rohit said & took him out of the room.

                            ******

'Thik hai...thik hai!! Mai aaungi tumhare saath. But iske baad tum mere dosto ko koi bhi problem nahi doge' Sara said. Varun smirked.

'Depends!!' Varun said. Now anger boiled in sara's nerves.

'Tum samjhte kya ho apne aap ko!! Yeh video dikha kar dhamka rahe ho na!! Jao jo karna hai karlo!! Poori duniya ko dikhaoge na!! Toh jao aaj mai bolti hu jao jaake dikha do!!! Namardo waale kaam krte toh ho hi tum!! Ladkio darana dhamkana aur phir..chii!! Ghin aati hai mujhe apne aap par ki kaise maine tumse pyaar kiya!!' Sara yelled. Aarushi was dumbstruck listening to this. No one knew about sara & varun's relationship except sumedh & devaki.

Sara ran away from there. Aarushi hid herself. Varun was just looking at sara's disappearing figure.

'Sab sun liya!! Niklo bahar ab Miss aarushi khanna!!' Varun said. Aarushi widened her eyes & slowly came out. Anger clearly visible on her face.

'Kya hai tumhare mobile mei?? Aisa kya hai jiske wajah se sara tumhara baat mann rahi thi..btao mujhe!!' Aarushi said & snatched his mobile. Varun just folded his hands & waited for her reaction.

'Videos waale folder mei dekhna, my love naam ka!!' Varun said & winked. Aarushi quickly opened the video. It showed-

Someone was taking sara forcefully, she was trying to protest but was not able to escape. The person's back was only visible (it seemed familiar to aarushi). Sara seemed to be drunk. Suddenly she was thrown on the bed. Some people laughed. (Aarushi was speechless & she understood what is gonna happen next)

She closed the video & tried to delete it when suddenly varun snatched it back.

'No babes!! Aisi kosish nahi krna!! Waise tumne dekha nahi kaun tha woh jo humare pass lekar aaya sara baby ko!!' Varun said & started laughing.

'Kaun tha!!?? Batao mujhe!!' Aarushi asked holding his collar. He shrugged her away.

'Khud dekh lo!!' Varun said & played the video. Aarushi was shocked to see the face.

'Noo..this can't happen!! Rohan aisa nahi kar sakta hai' Aarushi screamed. Varun laughed.

'Par kya kare!! Usne bhii..khair chodo. Waise aage yeh hua ki..' Varun was about to say when aarushi slapped him hard.

'TERII ITNI HIMMAT!!' Varun shouted at her. 'Abhi tak toh yeh video maine bs sara ko dhamkaane ke liye rakha hua tha. Ab toh mai ise upload kar doonga!!' Varun said.

'Nahi tum aisa kuch nahi karoge!!' Aarushi almost pleaded.

'Acha thik hai nahi krunga. But ek shart hai, agar tum manogi toh phir..mai nahi upload karunga!!' Varun said.

'Kya shart??' She asked.

'Yahi ki tum meri gf bann jao!! Aur uss sumedh se door ho jao!!' Varun said. Aarushi looked at him shockingly.

'Nahi mai aisa nahi karungi' aarushi said.

'Toh phir samjh jao sara ki izzat jaane ki wajah tum hi banogi!!' Varun said & smiled cunningly.

'Nahii!! Thik hai mai tumhari baat manne ko tayaar hu but iske baad tum sara toh kya mere kisi bhi dost ko hurt nahi karoge!!' Aarushi said.

'Thik hai!! Toh chalo abhi announce krte hai humare baare mei' varun said & held her wrist.

'Sabke saamne bolne ki kya zarurat hai??' Aarushi asked.

'Zyada sawal poochne waale log mujhe bilkul pasand nahi hai!!' Varun said. Aarushi became quite.

                             ******

'Yaar dusky abhi tak nahi aayi. Aur upar se yeh aaru pta nahi kya kaam krne chali gayi hai!!' Sumedh said.

'Haan yaar ruko mai jaake dekhti hu kya hua hai!!' Devaki said & as soon as she turned back they saw sara coming towards them with a smiling face.

'Lo aa gayi sara toh!!' Rohan said.

'Kuch thik nahi hai!!' Sumedh thought.
