Dil Ko Tumse Pyar Hua!!

17- Betrayal [Part 3]

In the dimly lit room of the dungeon, Rohan was tied to a chair, his face bearing the evidence of the brutal treatment he had endured. 

Bruises adorned his once-confident features, and his eyes reflected a mix of anger and defiance. 

Just then, Raghavendra entered the room, his imposing presence filling the air. Aniket followed closely behind him.

Raghavendra: Tsk tsk, the super cop. Tumhari aisi haalat dekh kar mujhe bilkul accha nahi lag raha

He commented, surveying the damage with a twisted sense of satisfaction. 

Rohan shot him a defiant look and retorted

Rohan: You bloody Shergill! Tumhe kya lagta hai? Yeh sab karke tum bach jaoge? Police wala hoon main, chodunga nahi tumhe.

Raghavendra: (laughed dismissively) So, Mr. Police Wale, mujhe pakadne ke liye tumhe pehle khud yaha se nikalna padega.

He took a chair, placing it in front of Rohan as if he were a king addressing a subject. Leaning back, Raghavendra asked

Raghavendra: Manyata kaun hai?

Rohan smiled, the bruises on his face contorting with the expression

Rohan: Galatfehmi hai tumhari. Agar tumhe lagta hai ki main tumhe kuch bataunga...

Raghavendra: (interrupted, chuckling) Pata chala hai ki tum uske aashiq ho.

Rohan: Nah, aashiq nahi malik hoon uska

Rohan replied, and the revelation surprised both Raghavendra and Aniket. 

Raghavendra narrowed his eyes, trying to understand the game at play. 

Raghavendra: Matlab?

Rohan: (continued) Matlab yeh ki maine usse tumhare paas aane ka offer diya tha, aur usne maan bhi liya. Tumhe sach mein lagta hai ki vo yaha party plan karne aayi thi... nahii... mere kehne pe aayi thi, aur iss khel mein vo sirf gulam hai meri.

Raghavendra, now grasping the manipulation at play, smirked.

Raghavendra: Thik hai, iss khel mein vo gulam hai na, toh phir uske marne se tumhe koi fark nahi padna chahiye.

He tested Rohan once again, suggesting that he could kill Manyata. 

The true colors of Rohan began to emerge as he responded

Rohan: Jo karna hai, karo. Chaho toh, you can have her. You know what I mean.

Aniket, disgusted by the exchange, looked away, repulsed by the depths of manipulation and betrayal. 

Raghavendra, satisfied with the information he had gathered, left the room with Aniket, leaving Rohan to reflect on the consequences of his deceit in the cold, unforgiving dungeon.

The room was shrouded in tension as Raghavendra entered, casting an intimidating presence.

 Kajal, visibly frightened, couldn't help but quiver under his stern gaze. 

Aniket's silent but reassuring presence by her side offered a small comfort.

Raghavendra: Listen, Kajal, I won't beat around the bush, so just tell me the truth

Raghavendra demanded, his voice cutting through the air.

Kajal: Mr. Shergill, yeh sach hai ki Manyata Rohan se pyar karti thi, lekin Rohan ne jab usse kaha ki vo tabhi iss rishte mein aage badhega jab Manyata aapke kareeb aakar, aapke khilaf saboot dhoondne mein uski help kare. Manyata ne usse thoda time manga lekin vo sure thi ki vo Rohan ko mana kar degi
