Raat ka waqt tha. Sadak lagbhag khaali thi. Thandi hawa chal rahi thi aur street lights ki halki roshni zameen par padh rahi thi. Roohi apne college se late nikal rahi thi.

Author Line:

Suddenly usse road ke kone par ek aadmi dikha — black shirt, khoon se bhiga hua… aur aankhon mein ajeeb sa khauf aur gussa.

Roohi:

"Hey Bhagwan… aapko chot lagi hai!"

(Oh God… you're injured!)

Author Line:

Woh aadmi dheere se sir uthata hai. Uski aankhen itni teekhi thi ki Roohi ek pal ke liye darr gayi.

Augustya:

"Door raho… warna tumhe problem ho jayegi."

(Stay away… or you’ll get into trouble.)

Author Line:

Roohi ne uski baat ignore kar di. Woh uske paas baith gayi aur apne bag se first aid nikal liya.

Roohi:

"Problem mujhe tab hogi jab aap yahan khoon behate hue mar jayenge."

(The problem will be when you bleed to death here.)

Author Line:

Augustya thoda sa hairaan ho gaya. Log usse dekh kar bhaag jaate the… lekin yeh ladki uski jaan bachane ki koshish kar rahi thi.

Augustya (slow voice):

"Tumhe pata bhi hai main kaun hoon?"

Roohi:

"Ek injured insaan."

(An injured person.)

Author Line:

Roohi uske zakhm par bandage baandh rahi thi. Augustya usse bas dekhta raha… jaise pehli baar kisi ne usse insaan samjha ho.

Augustya:

"Tum darr nahi rahi?"

Roohi (slightly smiling):

"Darr lag raha hai… par kisi ko marne ke liye chhodna usse bhi zyada darawna hota hai."

(I am scared… but leaving someone to die is scarier.)

Author Line:

Augustya Raichand — India ka sabse khatarnak mafia leader — us raat pehli baar chup ho gaya.

Aur usse samajh nahi aa raha tha ki ek simple si ladki uske dil mein itni jagah kaise bana rahi hai.

Roohi abhi-abhi Augustya ki chot par bandage baandh kar khadi hui hi thi ki usne dekha… Augustya ka chehra achanak safed padne laga.

Uske kadam ladkhadaye… aur agle hi pal—

THUD.

Augustya zameen par gir gaya.Roohi (shocked):

"Augustya!"

Roohi turant uske paas ghutno ke bal baith gayi. Usne uska chehra halka sa hilaya.

Roohi:

"Augustya… aankhen kholo!"

"Please wake up!"

Author Line:

Lekin koi response nahi aaya. Khoon ab bhi uski shirt se beh raha tha.

Roohi ke haath kaanp rahe the.

Roohi (panic):

"Oh God… yeh behosh ho gaye!"

Author Line:

Roohi ne jaldi se apna phone nikala aur ek taxi call ki.

Kuch minutes baad ek taxi rukti hai.

(Outside the Taxi)

Taxi Driver:

"Kya hua madam?"

Roohi (urgent):

"Please help! Inhe hospital le jana hai… abhi!"

Author Line:

Driver aur Roohi milkar mushkil se Augustya ko taxi ke back seat par bithate hain.

Roohi uske paas baith jaati hai aur uska sir apni taraf sambhal leti hai.

(Inside the Taxi)

Author Line:

Taxi tez speed se hospital ki taraf ja rahi thi. Roohi baar-baar Augustya ki taraf dekh rahi thi.

Uska dil zor se dhadak raha tha.Roohi (soft, worried):

"Augustya… tumhe kuch nahi hoga… okay?"

"You can't die like this."

Author Line:

Usne uska haath pakad liya.

Pehli baar usse mehsoos hua ki yeh aadmi jo itna strong lagta hai… iss waqt kitna helpless hai.

Roohi (almost whisper):

"Tumne mujhe abhi tak bataya bhi nahi… tum ho kaun."

Author Line:

Taxi hospital ke saamne rukti hai.

Roohi jaldi se bahar nikalti hai aur doctors ko bulati hai.

Roohi (shouting):

"Doctor! Please help!"

Author Line:

Nurses aur doctors stretcher lekar bhaagte hue aaye aur Augustya ko emergency room mein le gaye.

Doctor:

"Madam, aap bahar wait kariye."

Author Line:

Emergency room ka door band ho gaya.

Roohi corridor mein khadi thi… uske haath abhi bhi Augustya ke khoon se lage hue the.

Usne dheere se apni mutthi band ki.

Author Line:

Usse pata bhi nahi tha yeh aadmi kaun hai…

Lekin phir bhi uska dil bas ek hi dua kar raha tha—

“Augustya theek ho jaye.

”Author Line:

Hospital ka corridor bilkul shaant tha. Emergency room ke bahar Roohi ek bench par baithi thi. Uske haath abhi bhi Augustya ke khoon se lage hue the.

Uska dimaag abhi tak samajh nahi paa raha tha ki yeh sab itni jaldi kaise ho gaya.

Author Line:

Tabhi achanak hospital ke entrance par 3 black SUVs rukti hain.

Unme se kuch lambe, strong aadmi bahar nikalte hain — sab black suits mein.

Unki aankhon mein ek hi cheez thi… tension.

Bodyguard 1 (serious):

"Boss ko isi hospital mein laya gaya hai."

Bodyguard 2:

"Doctor se immediately baat karte hain."

Author Line:

Woh sab tezi se corridor mein aaye… aur tab unki nazar Roohi par padi.

Roohi unhe dekh kar ekdum khadi ho gayi.

Usse samajh nahi aa raha tha ki itne dangerous log hospital mein kya kar rahe hain.

Bodyguard 1 (to Roohi):

"Madam… aap hi unhe hospital laayi thi?"

Roohi (confused):

"Ji… haan… par aap log kaun ho?"

Author Line:

Bodyguards ne ek dusre ki taraf dekha jaise unhe yakeen nahi ho raha ho.

Bodyguard 2 (respectful tone):

"Thank you, madam."

Roohi:

"Kis liye?"

Bodyguard 1:

"Aapne Augustya Raichand ki jaan bachayi hai."

Author Line:

Yeh naam sunte hi Roohi bilkul freeze ho gayi.

Jaise kisi ne uske kaan mein bomb phod diya ho.

Roohi (slowly):

"Augustya… Raichand?"

Author Line:

Usne dheere se emergency room ki taraf dekha.

Usse yaad aaya woh ladka… jise usne road par bandage kiya tha… jise woh taxi mein hospital laayi thi…

Roohi (whisper):

"Yeh… impossible hai…"

Bodyguard 2:

"Madam, woh sirf koi aadmi nahi hain."

Bodyguard 1 (serious):

"Woh India ke sabse powerful mafia leader hain."

Author Line:

Roohi ke pair jaise zameen mein jam gaye.

Usse samajh nahi aa raha tha ki woh darr jaye… ya bas hans pade kyunki yeh sab kisi movie jaisa lag raha tha.

Roohi (shocked):

"Nahi… woh aise nahi ho sakte."

Author Line:

Bodyguard ne seedha jawab diya.

Bodyguard:

"Madam… duniya unse darti hai."

Author Line:

Roohi ne emergency room ke closed door ko dekha…

Aur usse achanak realise hua—

Jis aadmi ka haath pakad kar woh taxi mein baithi thi…

Woh India ka sabse khatarnak mafia king tha.

Author Line:

Hospital ke emergency room mein machines ki halki beep… beep… Ki awaaz aa rahi thi.

White lights ke neeche Augustya Raichand bed par pada tha.

Uske aas paas uske bodyguards khade the, sab tension mein.

Author Line:

Tabhi Augustya ki ungliyan halka sa hiliं… aur dheere-dheere uski aankhen khul gayi.

Room mein khade sab log ek saath seedhe ho gaye.

Bodyguard:

"Boss… aap hosh mein aa gaye!"

Author Line:

Augustya ne dheere se aankhen kholi. Uska chehra abhi bhi weak tha… lekin uski aankhon ka dangerous spark wapas aa gaya tha.

Usne aas paas dekha.

Augustya (low voice):

"Main… hospital mein hoon?"

Bodyguard:

"Ji boss. Aapko kisi ne hospital pahunchaya."

Author Line:

Augustya ki aankhon mein ek flash sa aaya — usse yaad aaya woh ladki… jiske haath uske khoon se bhare hue the.

Augustya (serious):

"Woh ladki…"

Bodyguards ek dusre ko dekhne lage.

Augustya (firm voice):

"Roohi."

Author Line:

Room mein ek second ke liye silence ho gaya.

Itna powerful aadmi… aur hosh mein aate hi jis naam ko yaad kar raha tha… woh ek simple college girl ka tha.

Bodyguard:

"Boss… woh bahar corridor mein hai."

Author Line:

Augustya ne turant uthne ki koshish ki.

Bodyguard (worried):

"Boss! Aapko rest karna chahiye."

Augustya (cold but determined):

"Maine poocha tha… woh kahan hai."

Bodyguard:

"Corridor mein… boss."

Author Line:

Augustya ne aankhen band karke ek second ke liye saans li.

Jaise woh confirm kar raha ho ki woh sach mein safe hai.

Augustya (soft but intense):

"Usse andar bhejo."

...Outside the Room...

Author Line:

Roohi corridor mein baithi hui thi jab ek bodyguard uske paas aaya.

Bodyguard:

"Madam… boss hosh mein aa gaye hain."

Roohi (relieved):

"Sach?"

Bodyguard:

"Aur… woh aapse milna chahte hain."

Author Line:

Roohi ek second ke liye shock ho gayi.

Roohi:

"Mujhse?"

Author Line:

Bodyguard ne sir hilaya.

Bodyguard:

"Unhone hosh mein aate hi sabse pehla naam aapka liya."

Author Line:

Roohi ka dil ekdum tez dhadakne laga.

Usse samajh nahi aa raha tha…

Ki woh andar jaaye… ya bhaag jaaye.

Author Line:

Roohi dheere se hospital room ka door kholti hai. Room mein halki white light thi aur machines ki beep awaaz aa rahi thi.

Augustya bed par baitha tha. Uska shoulder bandaged tha… lekin uski aankhon ki teekhi nazar bilkul waisi hi thi.

Roohi usse dekh kar thodi ruk gayi.

Dialogue Scene

Roohi (nervous):

"Aap… theek ho?"

Author Line:

Augustya ne kuch seconds tak bas usse dekha.

Jaise confirm kar raha ho ki woh sach mein safe hai.

Augustya (low voice):

"Tum mujhe hospital laayi thi?"

Roohi:

"Haan… agar main nahi laati toh shayad—"

Woh sentence complete nahi kar paayi.

Augustya:

"Thank you."

Author Line:

Roohi thodi surprise ho gayi. Shayad usse expect nahi tha ki India ka sabse dangerous mafia leader itni seedhi tarah thank you bolega.

Roohi (awkward):

"Ab aap theek ho gaye ho… toh main chalti hoon."

Roohi mudkar door ki taraf chalne lagti hai.

Lekin usne abhi do hi kadam liye the ki—

Suddenly ek strong haath uski wrist pakad leta hai.

Roohi (shocked):

"Augustya!"

Augustya ne uska haath pakad rakha tha. Uski grip strong thi… lekin aankhon mein gussa nahi… tension tha.

Augustya (serious):

"Tum bina bataye kahin nahi jaogi."

Roohi (angry):

"Kya matlab? Main koi prisoner nahi hoon!"

Author Line:

Roohi apna haath chhudane ki koshish karti hai.

Roohi:

"Mujhe ghar jaana hai."

Augustya (firm voice):

"Tumhara ghar abhi safe nahi hai."

Roohi:

"Kyun?"

Author Line:

Augustya ki aankhon mein thodi darkness aa gayi.

Augustya:

"Mere enemies ne mujhe shoot kiya tha."

Roohi:

"Toh?"

Augustya:

"Tumne mujhe hospital laaya."

Author Line:

Augustya thoda aur paas aata hai.

Augustya (dangerously calm):

"Agar unhe pata chal gaya… toh woh tumhe hurt kar sakte hain."

Author Line:

Roohi ka chehra ek second ke liye pale ho gaya.

Roohi:

"Yeh… yeh sab meri problem nahi hai."

Augustya:

"Ab hai."

Roohi (frustrated):

"Toh aap kya chahte ho?"

Author Line:

Augustya seedha jawab deta hai.

Augustya:

"Tum mere saath chalogi."

Roohi:

"Kahan?"

Augustya:

"Mere mansion."

Roohi (shocked):

"Kya?!"

Roohi:

"Main aapke saath kahin nahi ja rahi!"

Author Line:

Augustya ne uska wrist dheere se chhoda… lekin uski aankhen ab bhi uspar fixed thi.

Augustya (cold but protective):

"Roohi… yeh request nahi hai."

Augustya:

"Yeh zaroori hai."

Usne door ki taraf dekha jahan uske bodyguards already khade the.

Augustya:

"Car ready karo."

Author Line:

Roohi ka dil zor se dhadakne laga.

Usse lag raha tha jaise uski normal life ek second mein khatam ho rahi ho.

Roohi (angry whisper):

"Aap mujhe force kar rahe ho?"

Augustya uski taraf jhukta hai.

Augustya (low intense voice):

"Main tumhe bacha raha hoon."

Author Line:

Aur us pal Roohi ko samajh aa gaya—

Usne jis aadmi ki jaan bachayi thi…

Ab woh uski zindagi completely change karne wala tha.
