Welcome back to Guilt the Riya Sharma case

┏━━━━━❀•:🎀 Chapter 30 🎀:❀━━━━━┓

Shubman was in his room, going through files containing CCTV footage analysis and clues they had collected.

Sara entered.

She looked around the room.

Sara (thinking): Yeh kaisa kamra hai... itni kam light... ek almirah, ek bed, ek table... aur bas?

She walked up to him and stood there for a while.

Sara was wearing a saree.

Shubman was busy with the files, not even glancing at her.

Sara fake coughed.

Shubman (still looking at the files):Kya hua, Sara?

Sara:Woh... main pooch rahi thi, khana khaya?

Shubman (still focused on the files):Nahi, abhi nahi...

Sara:Toh chalo, dinner kar lo.

Shubman (still not looking up):Abhi chalte hai...

Sara snatched the file from his hand.

Sara:Dinner kar lo, phir kar lena.

Shubman slowly looked up and the moment his eyes met hers, he froze.

The Sara's saree

(Link is in comment watch the look too)

Mesmerized by her beauty, he looked at her like it was the only thing he was meant to do in this world like she was his peace, his relief.

His eyes refused to look away, as if they were locked onto the most beautiful sight he had ever seenand they didn't want to leave it, not for anything in the world.
His mind stopped thinking.
His eyes forgot to blink.
His heart forgot to beat.
He just kept looking at her.

At that moment, his mind had only one question for the universe just one:
"How can anyone look this beautiful?"

His trance of thought broke with a sudden grip on his hand.

Sara held his hand: Chale?

Shubman (trying his best to avoid that look, but failing miserably every time)...
He didn't move. Just stared at her... then looked away... only to look back again.

Sara wasn't strong enough to pull him just by his hand, so she tapped his shoulder.

Sara: Kya hua? Chalo.

Back to reality, Shubman nodded.

Sara: Accha waise main kaisi lag rahi hoon? Tum khud toh tareef karoge nahi, socha pooch hi lu!

He looked away in embarrassment.

After a small internal battle, Shubman finally spoke:

Shubman: Achi lag rahi ho.

Sara looked at him, surprised.

Sara: Bas achi?

Shubman: Ab... bohot achi.

Sara: Bas bohot achi? 1 Ghata laga hai mujhe...

Shubman: Haan, waise... aaj koi festival hai kya? Ya tumhe kahin jaana hai?

Sara: Nahi, aise hi pehni hai. Kyun? Koi dikkat hai?

She sat beside him on the bed.

Shubman shook his head.

Shubman (in mind): Haan, bohot badi dikkat hai... tumse nazar nahi hata paa raha hoon... sundar toh tum hamesha lagti ho... par aaj mera dil aur meri aankhein dono ne mujhe dhoka de diya... tumhare siwa sab kuch bhool jana chahte hain..

(He brushed off the thought)
Ye tu kya soch raha hai, Shubman? No. You can't... you just can't.

He suddenly stood up.

Shubman: Chalo... chalte hain.

Sara: Arre, ekdum se kya hua?

Shubman (realising): Ab... kuch nahi.

Sara: Toh phir?

Shubman: Nothing... let's go.

Sara: Arre what happened suddenly? Look at me.

She grabbed his hand and tried to pull him toward her but he didn't move even an inch.

He looked at her with a teasing smile clearly amused that she couldn't move him.

Sara, annoyed, kicked his foot lightly with her heel. He flinched a little.

Shubman: That's not fair!

Sara stood up: And you making fun of me is fair? Tumne gym jaake body bana li hai isme meri kya galti hai? Haan tumhari strength mujhse thodi si... bilkul thodi zyada hai, toh hasne ki kya baat hai?

Shubman (controlling his laugh): Thodi?

Sara: ...Ruko tum...

She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.

Shubman caught it effortlessly: Catch out, madam! Main cricketer ban sakta hoon na.

Sara: Excuse me? Batting aur bowling ke baare mein suna hai? (Mimics) Catch out! I can be a cricketer!

Shubman: Arre, mujhe batting bhi aati hai!

Sara: Ohh... Next Virat Kohli? Prince of Indian cricket? Fine?

Shubman: Fine. But... who's Virat Kohli?

Sara: Tum Virat Kohli ko nahi jaante?! Return the pillow right now!

He returned it.

Sara: He's the King of Indian cricket... you idiot. And don't you dare catch it this time.

She threw the pillow again it hit the door.

Shubman: Mera toh pata nahi, tum toh pakka nahi ban sakti... kya bowling hai!

She picked up the pillow again.

Sara: Ek toh kisi se bhi miss ho jata hai!"

She threw it again this time it hit him directly.

Shubman (faking pain): Ahh!

Sara (concerned): Zyada lag gayi kya?

She came closer and in the moment, she lost balance. Her foot twisted a little, and both of them fell on the bed.

Sara landed on top of him -one hand on his collar, the other on his neck.

Shubman's hand instinctively held her by the waist.

Their eyes locked, trying not to blink the moment grew still. Sara's hair fell over her face, breaking the eye contact for a second.

Gently, Shubman tucked her hair behind her ear just to look straight into her eyes again.

And Sara?
She was already lost in his.

They were looking into each other's eyes, not thinking about anything.

Sara slowly said:Tumne teek se bataya nahi ...me kesi lag rahi ho..

Shubman:Bata saku usse kayi zyda khoobsurat lag rahi ho tum..to kya hi kahu

Sara blushed.
Shubman smiled

Knock knock

Someone knocked on the door.

Shubman quickly flipped the situation and covered her mouth with his hand. Now he was on top of her, and she was beneath him, caged by his arms on the bed. He hadn't realized the position. Sara was shocked but stayed calm and still.

Shubman: Kon hai?

Kartik (from outside): Sir... Kartik..

Shubman: Yes! Bol.

Kartik: Vo apne Sara ma'am ko dekha hai kya?

Shubman looked at Sara.

Shubman: Nahi, kyun kya huya?

Kartik: Vo Aditi ji dhoondh rahi thi unhe ..dinner ke liye bula rahi thi .

Shubman (nervous): Ab... yahi kahi hogi... aa jayegi.

Kartik: Yes sir, aur apko Ishan sir bula rahe the..

Shubman: Ata hu..

Kartik: Ok sir!

He left.

Shubman relaxed a little.

Sara: Ahsggyhhj

Shubman: Kya?

Sara said through her eyes to remove his hand from her mouth.

Shubman: Oh sorry!

He removed his hand, and then realized their positions. He quickly stood up.

Shubman: Sorry.

Sara: That's ok... I fall on you! ...Ab mujhe Aditi bula rahi thi!

She left.

Shubman was still trying to process the things that had happened within those few seconds.

At Sara's side

She was walking through the corridor toward hall.

Sara (to herself):Why are you blushing like mad, Sara! Of course, because he complimented you. I don't think he has ever complimented anyone other than his sisters... so that's a proud moment. But you should be proud, not blushing. This is the worst cover-up... even to convince yourself...

She took a long pause as her footsteps slowed.

So why is there a strange feeling in my heart?

After thinking for a while, she finally asked herself:

Do I love him? I feel jealousy for him for sure... I always care for him... he always cares for me... I love to be around him... I love when he gets irritated with me... I love it when he fights for me... I have a strange feeling when I'm around him...

Is this feeling love? Is this love? But I don't know what love exactly is, so how can I fall in love? I don't think I even know him or not...

So how can it be?

Can it be love?

Her phone rings, breaking her trance of thought.

She smiled while looking at the caller ID and picked up the call.

Sara (cheerfully): Kaisa hai?

Someone: Bilkul badhiya! Tu kaisi hai, jaan?

Sara (grinning wide): Ek dum awesome, baby... Where are you?

Someone (excited): London! Coming in two days, sweetheart. First I'll attend college, as I'll reach just in time... then sidhe tere paas, darling.

Sara (softly): Come soon... janeman... waiting for you... missing you!

Someone (gently): Soonest, jaan... achha bye, I have to go!

Sara (smiling): Okay, bye... love you!

Someone (warmly): Love you too.

She cuts the call.

At Shubman's side
In Ishan's room

Shubman : Bol, Ishu?

Ishan : Mene Sara ke uncle ko uthwa liya hai investigation ke liye!

Shubman (nodding slowly): Okay, but khayal rakhna unka... raat 2 baje investigate karte hai.

(Ishan nodded .)

Shubman : Abhishek aur Vishal kaha hai?

Ishan: Abhishek kaam se bahar gaya hai... aur Vishal shayad room mein. Chal, dinner kar le.

At the dining room

Kartik (holding something out): Sir, ye lo sunflower.

(Shubman takes it with a smile.)

Shubman (trying to sound casual): Kaha se laya?

Kartik (proudly): Thode ugaye hain, thode plants laya hu.

Shubman (forced smile, dry humor): Professional garden ban gaya na?

Kartik (nervously): Sorry, sir.

(Sara enters with a glow on her face.)

Sara (excited): Kitna beautiful sunflower hai!

(Shubman casually hands it to Sara with a smile . She takes it, a blush appearing on her cheeks.)

Kartik (quickly): Mere garden ka hai...

Sara : aww ... proud of you !

Aditi (cheerfully): Sab aa gaye toh khana leke aati hu... aaj mene try kiya hai!

Sara (smiling): Main help karti hu.

(They both head toward the kitchen. Just then, Chandni enters.)

Chandni (lively tone): Hello, everyone!

Shubman : Vishal kaha hai?

Chandni (frowning): Mujhe kyun pata hoga? Tum mujhse kyun puch rahe ho uss chamakadar ke baare mein?

Shubman (mocking): Tumse pucha kisi ne? Ms. Darkula.

Chandni (annoyed): Excuse me?

Shubman : Excused. Tu bol, Kartik.

Kartik : Apne room mein hai.

Shubman (: Ja, bulake le aa dinner ke liye.

(Kartik nods and leaves. After a few minutes, he returns looking tense.)

Kartik (hesitantly): Woh gate nahi khol raha hai...

Shubman (slightly tensed): What! What happened? Tu ruk, main dekhta hu.

Chandni (instantly): Main bhi chalti hu.

Shubman : Kyu? Bandara hai?

Chandni : Nahi, kaam hai.

Shubman (frustrated): Toh maro phir.

Chandni (with a smirk): Marne mein abhi time hai mere.

Shubman : Nahi... harkatein dekho, prepone bhi ho sakti hai maut.

Chandni (rolls her eyes): Excuse me!

Shubman : Excused... Chalna hai to chalo.

(They both head toward Vishal's room.)

Outside Vishal's room

Shubman (banging on the door): Vishal! Open the door!

(No answer.)

Shubman (knocking again, louder): What happened? Open the door!

(Chandni takes out a hairpin from her bun and starts picking the lock.)

Shubman : Yeh kya kar rahi ho?

Chandni (focused): Gate khol rahi hu.

Shubman (mocking): Chorni...

Chandni (snapping): Excuse me...

Shubman : Excused.

(Chandni rolls her eyes hard as the door finally clicks open.)

Inside, Vishal was on the floor, crying and holding his knees to his chest.

Shubman rushed toward him.
