Episode 2 Part 2

10:44 AM
And Daya goes into other rooms. One bedroom looks fine. There is nothing in the cupboard or anywhere else. The bathrooms are clean just there are some hair. Daya makes a mental note to collect them as evidence. The other bedroom however looks shabby. There is a broken plate. Nothing else. Abhijeet said that there were 2 people arguing… where is the other person… was it Richa?
Daya enters the kitchen, almost making up his mind that Richa had somehow escaped. Daya checks the kitchen… and he was almost leaving when he heard some commotion near the refrigerator. He opened it, but it was fine… then he decided that the noise wasn’t from the fridge but from the cupboard beside it. Daya goes to it slowly and opened it and was shocked to see a girl cuddled inside. Daya looked carefully and it was Richa. She was hurt and also very scared. The same moment, Richa took a better view of Daya and came out in an instant and hugged him tight. She was really scared.

Richa – “Thank God Daya tum aa gaye.”
Daya – “Richa tum theek ho? Yahan kya hua tha?”

Before Richa could respond, Kaveri and Vivek came into the kitchen. They too were looking through the house and they see Daya and Richa. Richa broke off the hug and took Daya’s hands now…

Richa – “Main bata nahi sakti, I am so glad. Please mujhe iss sab se bacha lo. Maine kuch nahi kiya par wohh mujhe maar dega.”
Daya – “Richa, ruko. Pehle saant ho jao. Phir aaram se batao kya baat hai.”

And ACP, Abhi and Shruti too come now. Freddie and Lavanya are taking care of the dead body.

ACP – “tum isse jaante ho Daya?”
Daya – “ji sir. Ye Richa Aggarwal hai. Mere saath college mein thi.”
ACP – “Richa, dekho gabrao mat. Sach Sach batao.”

Richa looks at Daya and he gives her a reassuring look and Richa looks back to ACP. Obviously Daya and Richa are no longer holding hands…

Richa – “sir wohh mujhe bhi nahi chodega. Maine kuch nahi kiya.”
Abhi – “kaun nahi chodega? Kaun hai wohh?”
Shruti – “sir Richa ki tabiyat theek nahi lag rahi. Pehle isse hospital le jaaye?”
ACP – “theek hai. Vivek, tum Lavanya aur Freddie ke saath body forensic lab le jao. Shruti, tum aur Kaveri Richa ko hospital le jao, phir bureau le aana.”

Abhi and Daya too leave with others…

ACP – “Daya aur Abhijeet. Tum dono ruko.”

Daya, ACP and Abhi are in the bureau.

ACP – “Daya tum kuch chupa toh nahi rahe ho na?”
Daya – “sir maine bataya toh aapko. Richa mere saath college mein thi. Management padh rahi thi. College se nikalne ke baad main aaj Richa se mila hoon. Bas suna tha ki Richa Hotel Management mein gayi hai.”
ACP – “aur jo tumne letter ke bare mein bataya…”

Daya takes out the letter from his pocket and gives it to ACP… Abhi leans in closer to have a look. ACP and Abhi read it while Daya kept saying…

Daya – “sir aaj shaam 7 baje ke kareeb ek aadmi aaya. Usne apna naam Vishal bataya. Vishal ne kaha ki Richa uske pados mein rehti hai aur 15 din pehle wohh ghar chod kar chali gayi. Phir kal aaj subah wohh Vishal se milne office aayi aur usne Vishal ko ye letter mujhe dene ko kaha.”
Abhi – “sir ye ho sakta hai. Watchman bhi keh raha tha ki 15 din pehle hi Ishani Nisha ke saath rehne aayi hai. Ho sakta hai Ishani hi Richa ho.”

Then Shruti and Kaveri enter with Richa.

Everyone except Richa is standing. They all are staring at her and Richa is even more nervous. She has a bandage around her forehead and one on her arm. Rest wounds were nothing more than scratches and they would heel up.

ACP – “Richa sab sach sach batana. Dekho agar tum sach nahi bologi, toh hum tumhari koi madad nahi kar sakte.”

Richa is very scared, she looks at everyone and then as she opens her mouth to speak, her lips tremble the first time but then she gathers courage and speaks…

Richa – “sir, Ragini, Lata aur main, Hotel Ocean Waves mein managers the. Hum teeno ek hi ghar mein rehte the. Ragini Restaurant dekhti thi aur Lata aur main, room service. Ek din Ragini kahin se ek mini recorder layi. Usne bas test karne ke liye, ek table mein laga diya. Us table par ek ladka ladki baithe. Ladki ruthi hui thi aur ladke ki saari baatein ladki ko manane ke liye hi thi. Hum teeno ne raat mein saari baatein suni aur bahut hase. Agle din, unhi dono se phir se table book kari aur Ragini ne recorder phir laga diya. Wohh ladka ladki toh nahi aaye, par us table pe 2 aadmi baithe us din. Unmein se ek ka naam Raaka tha. Wohh log keh rahe the ki Hotel mein jo maut hui thi, wohh maut nahi thi par unhone khoon liye the.”

Everyone looks at each other…

Abhi – “ye wohi toh nahi, jahan hotel ki 3 parties mein ek aurat ki maut ho jaati hai?”
Richa – “ji sir. Wohi. Humare Hotel mein kai business parties hoti thi. Kai log with families aate the. Hotel complementary kisi na kisi ko gifts bhi deta. Teeno partiyoin mein, ek dress aur accessories aayi kisi na kisi guest ko dene ke liye. Wohh dono aadmi baat kar rahe the ki uska khoon karna hai jisne necklace pehna hoga. Hum log darr gaye ye sunkar. Agle din humne party ki pics dekhi toh dekha ki teeno auratein jo mari hain, unhone ek hi jaisa necklace pehen rakha tha. Aur unke marne ke baad, wohh necklace kabhi nahi mila.”
ACP – “tumhe kaise pata ki ye necklace Hotel ki taraf se gaye samaan mein hi gaya tha?”
Richa – “sir teeno necklace bilkul ek jaise the. Koi farak nahi. Aur ek baar maine aur Lata na ek pack khol kar dekha tha. Usmein bhi wohi necklace tha.”
Abhi – “phir, tum logoin ne bataya Police ko?”
Richa – “Ragini gayi thi. Usne Hotel ki jewellery shop mein pata kiya. Wohh necklace hotel ka nahi tha. Balki guests ke liye jo gift aaya tha, usmein toh koi necklace hona hi nahi chahiye tha.”
ACP – “Ye Ragini aur Lata hain kahan?”
Richa – “sir Nisha hi Lata hai. Ragini ek din achanak gayab ho gayi. 2 din baad uski body khoon se latpat laundry ke truck mein mili. Hotel ke malik ki Police mein achi jaan pehchaan hai toh ye mamla daba diya gaya… Tab se Lata aur mujhe dhamki bhare phone aa rahe hain. Ek din na jaane kisi ne phone pe Lata se kya keh diya, wohh ghar chod kar chali gayi. Usne kaha ki ab wohh yahan aur rahi toh Ragini ki tarah marr jaayegi. Thode din akele rehne ke baad mujhe bhi darr lagne laga. Humare ghar mein dhamki bhare khat, khoon se sane rumaal aur na jaane kaisi kaisi cheezein aane lagi.”
Abhi – “pata nahi chala kaun kar raha hai ye sab?”
Richa – “pata nahi kaise wohh party ki pics hotel mein fael gayi. Sabko pata hai ki wohh necklace manhoos hai. Jo bhi uss necklace ko pehenta hai, maara jaata hai. Jab baat itni badh gayi, toh maine aur Lata ne kaam par jaana bhi chod diya. Din bhar ghar ke andar darr kar rehte. Ek din jab bahut ho gaya toh main bhi Lata ke saath rehne chali gayi. Maine usse bahut poocha ki aisa kya hua ki wohh ghar chod kar aa gayi par usne nahi bataya. Aaj subah kisi ka phone aaya aur Lata fauran chali gayi. Mujhe laga ki kuch toh gadbad hai aur maine socha main aap logoin ke paas aaun. Par agar unhe pata lag jata, toh wohh log mujhe maar dete. Isiliye main Vishal se milne gayi aur usse kaha ki wohh Daya ko letter de de. Shaam ko Lata aayi toh uske paas bahut paise the. Maine bahut poocha par usne nahi bataya. Hum issi baat par behas kar rahe the, ki itne mein sheeshe ke us paar se goli aayi aur dekhte hi dekhte Lata ne dam tod diya. Main bahut dar gayi thi, isiliye main rasoi mein chup gayi.”

And she started crying…

ACP – “Kaveri…”

Kaveri took the clue, nodded and took Richa aside.

Just then Abhi’s cell rang. It was from the forensic lab… Dr Tarika’s… and Abhi was always flirty with her…

Abhi – “ji Dr Tarika… kya? Acha acha… nahi hum log aate hain abhi… arre nahi… kaun busy… bas aapne bola na toh pahunch jaayenge.”

Abhi had turned his back while on the phone… when he turned, everyone was staring at him… surprised seeing Abhi flirt even after his wedding…

At the Forensic… all enter except ACP, Vivek, Kaveri and Lavanya who are still interrogating Richa…

Saluke – “Arre Abhijeet ki toh shakal hi badal gayi shaadi ke baad. Itne dino ke baad lab mein aaye ho, warna pehle toh yahan se bhagana mushkil tha.”
