THE GIRL IN ROOM 105 (NOVEL)
BY CHETAN BHAGAT
PLOT
Keshav starts telling the story 7 years ago when both of them, Zara and Keshav, were together. Keshav comes from a Hindu family and Zara is a Muslim. Keshav’s father is a leader of an RSS and Zara’s father is a businessman. Keshava’s family refuses to accept Zara because of other religions. And Zara’s father is ready to adopt Keshav, but his condition is that you have to convert. Keshav does not like this thing much. And he refuses this thing. From here, the distance between them starts coming. And eventually, they separate from each other.
Keshav has a message from Zara. Seeing this, Keshav goes into astonishment as to how she messaged me. Zara’s birthday is on that day. There is talk between them. And Zara calls Keshav to meet him in her hostel room. The room where Keshav used to come when both of them were together. The room 105.
Keshav and Saurabh reach Zara’s room. When Keshav goes inside the window, he sees that Zara is sleeping. He tries to wake her up but she didn’t get up. Keshav gets a little shock to see. He calls Saurabh. Saurabh also thinks why she is sleeping. Then Keshav tells him that she is dead. Saurabh tells Keshav that they can run away before anyone sees them. But Keshav did not want to run away. He called the police and informed them about it.
While investigating Zara’s room, Keshav gets a picture of Zara and her brother in which her brother is holding machine guns and they both were smiling. Seeing this, Keshav’s suspicion goes to Zara’s brother, but Zara’s brother lives with his mother in Kashmir. They go to Kashmir to know this. There they know that Zara’s brother has a relationship with terrorists. Keshav and Saurabh meet Zara’s brother. They interrogate him and say that he will give his photo to the police if he does not tell the right thing. There is a lot of talk between them and Zara’s brother tells them to meet again on the second day. On the second day, Keshav gets a call from the hotel to come to the hotel. When they arrive with the local police, they saw that Zara’s brother has shot himself. He dies by making a video that he did not kill his sister and if he is alive, he will probably be caught because of his work.
Faiz gets ready to come to the condolence meeting. Keshav also invited Raghu to this meeting. And it is decided to keep this mourning after a few days. Keshav and Saurabh are now finally ready to sleep peacefully. Saurabh asks Keshav to sleep but Keshav cannot sleep. Keshav tells Sourav that if he goes on a trip, then Saurabh refuses him, saying that our job will go now if we go somewhere. Then Keshav prepares to go alone and sets out.
Now the story comes back to the beginning when Keshav is telling all these things to Chetan. Then Chetan asks Keshav that, you are going? Keshav says that I am going back in mourning now. Chetan tells him, so today you will expose the murderer, Keshav says yes. Chetan asks him to narrate the whole story when all is over. The two exchange each other’s numbers and leave after the flight lands.
