In The Garden Of Virtue & Vice

Part-97

At Riya's home-

'Rohan..hold this' Riya said handing him a small statue.

'Kaha rakhu ab ise?' He said holding it and turned around. As soon as he turned around riya took a bat a her hand and slowly tiptoed behind him and hit him hard on his lower head. Rohan collapsed on the ground.

'I'm sorry rohan but I had to do it..for you..for us' Riya said to herself.

She quickly took out rohan's phone and started going through it by unlocking it with his fingerprint.

She deleted all the messages he sent to that unknown profile which she knew was definitely sara or anyone else from the group. After deleting all the messages. She sent a message to them via rohan's id. The message read- 'Game over bitches.'

She then went to varun's room and told him about the messages rohan was getting and not telling the part that even he was involved in the plan.

Varun was furious. Riya even told him that sumedh will do the same to her if rohan will not bring the video to him. Adding more fuel to the fire.

'How dare they even think of doing that. I will tear him in pieces.' Varun said gritting his teeth.

'Rohan ko bulao..mujhe us'se abhi baat karni hai' Varun said.

'Us'se baat karke koi faida nahi hai. Use toh pta bhi nahi hai li uske paas unn logo ka message aaya hai' Riya lied.

'Kaha hai woh abhi?' Varun asked.

'So raha hai mere room mei..thak gaya tha woh college ka kaam karke' Riya lied again. Varun nodded.

'Ab main btaunga inhe..kya anjaam hota hai mujhse panga leneka' Varun said. Riya nodded and left his room.

At Sara's Place-

'Maine kaha tha unhe pata chalne mei deri nahi lgegi' Devaki said pacing back and forth. Aarushi was trying to calm her down.

'I'm telling you guys. Khud se badla lena acha nahi hai..let the police handle the situation. Rohit bhi hai..we will win this sara. Try to understand. Rohan unke saath hi hai abhi aur kuch bhi ho sakta hai. Agar woh bandana ko shoot kar sakte hai bina soche toh kuch aur karne se unhe koi nhi rok sakta hai.' Devaki said.

'But dev police ne pehle bhi kuch ni kiya hai abhi bhi kuch nahi krenge. Humare pass koi proof nahi hai. Riya trusts him and I know she will protect him. Rohan hi help kar skta hai aur-' Before sara could say anything further devaki interrupted her.

'Nahi kuch nahi...woh koi help nahi krega. I know usne bura kiya tha tumhare sath but he doesn't deserve this. I can't even imagine kya ho rha hoga uske saath abhi. Call nahi utha rha hai. Reply nahi kar rha. Obviously woh message riya ne bhja hai' Devaki was completely freaking out.

'Devaki...pehli baat maine nahi bhja tha use..uska khud ka plan tha yeh aur dusri baat main isilie kabhi aisa kuxh nahi krungi coz usne mere sath kuch bura kiya tha' Sara said calmly. Devaki sighed.

'I'm sorry sara. Bas main nahi chahti kuch ho rohan ko' Devaki said.

'Kuch nahi hoga rohan ko. Mujhe itna toh pata hai' Sumedh said. 'Agar riya literally care karti hai uske liye toh kuch nahi kregi woh use..haan but she can try to put us all in trouble' He continued.

'Ab hum kya kare? Wait for them to say something or what?' Abhishek asked.

'Wait for riya's or varun's torture? I'm not waiting for that shit at all' Aarushi said folding her arms. 'We have to do something before they do. I don't know..may be we'll go to police or something ya main hi jaati hu unke ghar. Dekhte hai kya kar lenge woh' Aarushi said raising her voice. Sumedh rolled his eyes.

'Aaruuu..babyy..NAHI. Aapko yeh sab karne ki koi jarurat nahi hai. We have to handle this situation calmly. I guess I'll call her and ask her about rohan's whereabouts. Phir dekhte hai kya bolti hai woh' Sumedh suggests. Everyone nods except of aarushi.

'Aaru...main kou pyaqr bhari baatein nahi karunga us'se, chill' Sumedh said.

'Whatever. Go on. Call her and ask her' Aarushi says. Everyone chuckles.

Sumedh calls riya but she doesn't answer. He tries again, same response. Noone picks up the call.

'Try calling on rohan's phone maybe' Abhishek suggests. Sumedh nods and dials his number. After 3-4 ring someone picks up the call. Sumedh puts call on speaker.

'Hello. Rohan? Rohan? Kuch bol yaar' Sumedh says. No answer, but instead they hear some sound as if someone is laughing. A muffled laugh.

'Riya?' Sara says.

'BINGO!!' Riya answers.

'Rohan kaha hai. Use phone do' Devaki shouts. Aarushi holds her.

'Rohan mere sath hai..aur tumhare paas kabhhi bhi nahi aaega ab' She laughs. 'Tumlog kitne dhokebaaz ho woh ab use pata chal gaya hai. He won't talk to you guys ever again. Maine acchee se samjha diya hai use. Ab tum logo ko bas mere bhai ka tension lena chahie. Kya pata kab kya ho jaye' She said and hung up the call.

'Riyaaa' Sara shouted. She snatched phone from sumedh's hand and tried to call again but she switched off th3 phone.

'Mujhe itna toh pata hai rohan kabhi ispe trust nahi karega. Aur yeh bhi ki rohan ko koi khatra nahi hai abhi. But jo isne varun ke liye kaha hai woh tension de raha hai mujhe' Sumedh said.

'Hume Rohit se contact karna chahie. Ab bas bohot ho gaye games and darna. This is about to end. Varun bohot powerful samjhta hain na apne aapko. Ab main bataungi powerful hona kya hota hai' Sara said.

Meanwhile-

'Ab main batata hu inhe kya hota hai mujhse panga lena' Varun said while watching at a video and laughing hysterically.
