Part 11
Maya...
Recap: The gang decides to go to Kasauli Club for the evening. A girl is really mad as she doesn't know where Armaan has gone. She vows to get Armaan back. In Kasauli, Armaan and Riddhima share a moment together. They later go to the club, where Riddhima recalls her first meeting with Armaan. They come back to the hotel, where the boys find out that Maya and Vivek have come there, too, and Armaan is really mad. He recalls his second meeting with Riddhima in the college where they had bet.
The next morning, the boys of the gang had gathered up together in Atul's room. They all were worried on the fact that Maya was here.
" Pata nahin yeh Maya yahaan kyun aayi hain? I just hate her! She's a bloody b*tch! " Armaan said with full anger.
" Shaant ho jao Amy. Iss tarah se naaraaz hone ka koi fayeda nahin hain. Thande dimaag se socho. Tab hi hum koi bhi kaam sahi tarike se kar paayenge. " Amit tried to calm Armaan down.
" Kaise shaant rahoon main Amu? Kaise? Uss Maya ne meri poori zindagi tabah kar di. She ruined my entire life! Usski planning ki vajaah se aaj Riddhima ko mujh par vishwaas nahin hain. Usski vajaah se aaj meri Riddhima mujhse baat tak karne ko tayaar nahin hain. Main usske ek kadam paas jaata hoon toh who dus kadam peeche chali jaati hain. Riddhima ko toh mere pyaar par bhi vishwaas nahin hain. Usse yeh lagta hain ki maine usse shaadi usske jism ke liye ki. Aise mein main kaise shaant rahoon Amu? " Armaan got up angrily and said everything he had in his heart. As he finished, he knocked down the flower vase that was in front of him.
" Armaan! Toh tu kya karega?! Maar dalega ussko? Jaa! Maar daal! Yeh rahi gun, aur jaake katal kar de usska! " Rahul got up angrily and shouted. He went to his drawer and took the gun that was there, and placed it in Armaan's hand.
" Dekh kya raha hain? Jaa, maar daal ussko! Yeh hi toh chahta hain na tu? Isse sirf tu gunhegaar saabit hoga, Maya nahin. Riddhima tujh par vishwaas karne lagi hain, lekin tere gussa karne se nuksaan sirf tera hain Armaan. " Rahul explained to Armaan. He made him sat down and then started to talk again.
" Armaan. Main samajh sakta hoon ki tujh par kya beet rahi hain. Meri bhi shaadi huyi hain. Main bhi pyaar karta hoon kissi se. Lekin Armaan gussa karne se kuch nahin hoga. Tu jitna jaanta tha, utna tune hume bata diya. Ab tu sirf Ridzi ko sach bataane ki tayaari kar. Baaki sab hum dekh lenge. " Armaan nodded.
" Lekin guys mujhe bohat darr lag raha hain. Main Maya ko bohat achhi tarah se jaanta hoon, woh haar nahin mane waali. Woh zaroor kuch karegi. Tum logo ne kal usski aankhen nahin dekhi thi kya? Gussa, junoon, sab tha usski aankhon mein. Jaise woh kissi ka khoon kar degi. " Her raged filled eyes flashed before his eyes.
" Tu itna sure kaise hain? " Atul asked and Armaan smiled a little and turned towards Atul.
" Duniya ke liye main Maya ko teen mahine se jaanta hoon. Lekin tu bhi jaanta hain ki sach kya hain. " No one spoke for a while. Everyone just looked at Armaan. Horror was starting to enter everyone's heart.
" Main Maya ko teen mahine se nahin, teen saal se jaanta hoon. Aur sirf main hi nahin, hum sab usse jaante hain. Faraq sirf itna hain, ki kissi ko kuch yaad nahin. Hain na? " Armaan spoke in a grave tone. There was dead silence in the room. It seemed as if everyone had stopped breathing.

We see the same girl in a dark room standing in front of the mirror where Armaan and Riddhima's photos were clipped. She opened the drawer and took out some more pictures and clippers. She picked up the first picture, which was Anjali's, and clipped that to the mirror. She did the same with other pictures, too. Once she was done, she stood there, and looked at all the pictures.
