Augustya Wakes up

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."

Author Line:

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!"

Author Line:

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."

Author Line:

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?"

Author Line:

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.
