Chapter 9: Che (6) din ladka in!
The group had planned to hang out at Mansi's place with a motive. Chris was the first to arrive. Soon, Jen leaves to hang out with Luv at UV's place on their fake date. Slowly slowly everyone else comes over.
Rohan pretending - where is Jen?
Isha - oh you havent heard? She is on a date
Except for Chris, everyone is sneakily glancing toward Rehan.
Chris - oh wow with who?
Isha - with Luv
Rehan who was reading magazine looks up and says "how nice"
Isha trying to get more out of him - "ya it was so cute, they look so cute together. He came with flowers and chocolates."
Mansi (hestinantly) - yaa
Isha gets carried away and adds "and he had written a poem for her (mansi, rohan and UV look at her and then each other) he said it to her, it was a beautiful poem (mansi signals Isha to stop) and they left hand in hand."
Hearing last line, Chris says "wait" he looks confused as he saw Jen leavin alone. Isha realizes Chris does not know the plan and he was there when Jen left. M & I both run to his side and before he opens his mouth, Mansi says " Chris,did you see the new beer we got. Last one left, let me show you" she drags him to kitchen. UV and Rohan switch topic and talk to a curious Rehan. In Kitchen, Mansi and Isha fills him in. "Oh man, why didn't you all tell me?"
"Telling you now" M says
"I feel left out"
"Awww sorry Chris" says Isha as they hug him. He accepts apology & they go back.
Rehan - where is the new beer?
Mansi and Isha didnt know what to say, and Chris says - oh we all shared it. Didnt know you wanted it too bro
Rehan -its okay. Lets do something then... games or movie?
At UV's house:
Jen and Luv were watching tv and talking.
Jen asks "how long have you known UV?"
"Since he was a baby"
Luv narrates their families history.
"Wow! How does it feel to work for a royal family"
"It has its good and bad but Jaigarh family is wonderful. And banna i mean UV i think he is destined to be great."
"Aww thats sweet. I agree he is amazing. And so charming. I don't know about back home but here he is quite popular among ladies." Luv smiles and says "Its same anywhere he goes, he is as charming as a Prince can be"
"Hm must be nice to get anyone you want"
Luv trys to cheer her up "you know grass is always greener on the other side. He can get anyone but then his title come with expectations and responsibilities that he cannot run away from"
" guess you are right. I am free to choose my life on my terms but im sure he has to do it based on whats expected"
"Exactly" says Luv
"Hmmm... how did you get to be so smart"
Luv looks at Jen and both smile. Then he asks "so Rehan huh, how long have you...you know "
"I really dont know why and when; it just happened. He is...well was charming, funny, and so sweet. But lately like past few months, he has been quiet and weird.
Luv - only with you or everyone
Jen - all the time or atleast when I am there
Luv - hmm well you know Im never wrong in these things. And you just called me smart (both smile at each other) so i think he likes you either he doesnt know or he is afarid of something
"Okay so Luv (love) guru [both laugh at this] what should i do next"
Topic move to love and their love life.
"What is your type of girl"
"Hmmm i dont have a type just someone i can be comfortable with & easy to talk too"
"like Mansi..... you two sure talk a lot"
Luv smiles and does not reply. He tries to change topic.
Back at Mansi's house
Rohan and Chris are in garden discussing Rohan's family business.
Mansi, Isha, UV and Rehan are inside playing poker. M has lost against UV many times, finally she says "i hate this game"
UV laughing - oh come on princess, you are just predictable
Isha - we havent won against her. I dont know how you do it
UV - her eyes just give it away just se (realizing what he said he stops)
Isha - acha (looking at Mansi she edits the song to tease her) aankhon se tune ne kya keh diya, UV yeh deewana jeetne laga
M was now feeling shy - shut up
Rehan - "I see love, when i look into your (Isha joins him.) eyes, i believe..." She now plays the song. Rehan and Isha start singing along
I feel love...
When I look into your eyes
I believe...
If you move out from my side
I'll be loosin' I'll be losin'
Grip on you... grip on you...
Dekho qareeb se
Mile hai naseeb se
Aayega pal yeh phir kahaan
UV and M steal glances at each other while Isha and Rehan are still singing away
Aaj achaanak tumse mile hum
Ye toh nahi hai bewajah...
Pucho zara iss dil se
Hum hain mile mushkil se
Kal phir na ho'n hum jo yahaan
Gazab ka hai din, socho zara
Yeh deewanapan, dekho zara
Tum ho akele, hum bhi akele
Maza aa raha hai
Kasam se... kasam se...
M gets up to leave. Isha gets up and blocks her. She starts dancing with M. Isha spins her but accidentally lets go of her hand. Twirling M without support was about to crash into the table. She was prepared to hit glass but instead she hits another hard surface. She opened her eyes to see herself sitting in UV's lap. UV had pushed table to the side, come forward and grabbed her. Thier eyes locked.
Alfaaz kya kahoon main
Bechain si rahoon main
Tu bin kahe yeh haal jaan le
Mausam mohabbaton ke
Lamhe yeh chaahaton ke
Apne liye bane hain maan le
It was like words were for them. Feels just right thinks UV. Its been while since they were this close. Her heart beating faster, and 100W jhatka passed through her body, like her body was rejoicing.
They break as Isha shakes them both. She stops the song and says "are you okay babe, Im so sorry.
M - ya ... ya i am
As she gets up, "just a bit shocked"
Isha - UV are you okay?
UV nods yes. As they were cleaning up mess from table, Luv and Jen return holding hand as instructed by Isha. Isha asks about their date. Jen says "it was a great, had so much fun. (looking at Rehan) luv is so sweet."
Rehan smiles and excuses himself to the garden. Soon comes back with Rohan, his ride, and Chris then says "rohan and i are headed out, i have to complete my project"
They are about to leave when Jen stops them, everyone looks at one another " so did you all decide about the dance formal event, its in few days. This will be our last school event, i really want to go"
Chris - "can we bring dates?"
Jen - yes
Rohan taking adavtage of the situation - we all know who your date will be
Rehan gives him a look that he has never given. Rohan stop teasing - ya im in
Jen - great Ill get tickets. Also theme is white and black.
R&R leave. Isha to M and UV - "Did you see before Rehanbhai was enjoying carefree and all of sudden, i think it working..."
They chat for a while about next steps.
In India - penthouse of Oberio Hotel
Unnati walks into the living room - "im ready dad." Giriraj signals lets go
Unnati - ab toh bataeye kaha jaa rahe hai
Giriaj - usme surprise kaha
After few minutes they reach a beautiful Mahal. As they enter, guards come in to open doors. Elders come out to receive.
Unnati - Dadishaheb (takes blessing)
DS- arey wah apne humhe pehchan liya
Unnati - aapko kaun nai janta
Everyone greets them one by one
Vijay's room
Arjun - humhd pata nai hum kya kare
Vijay - dada did you give your 100%
Arjun nods yes. Vijay adds " then you need to talk to DS that you dont like Maithli, waise bhi she said she wont make decision without your approval."
Arjun - haan pata hai par you know how she is...she will start to ask questions that i have no answers to... I need to have a good reason to even get her to listen
Vijay - dont worry dada it will be fine, chale ab guests aa chuke honge
Arjun- waise kaun aane wale hai?
Vijay - pata nai woh detail nai batae
They both head down.
In dining room, unnati excuses herself to use the bathroom. She is walking when she runs into both the brothers.
Unnati - oh im sorry
Vijay - no problem, aap?
Unnati - im Unnati
Being very young when they all parted and not having touch with Jaigarh for so many years; they could not recognize each other.
Vijay - im Vijay and this is Arjun
Unnati - hi (he doesnt say anything) okay so im going to (pointing toward her path)
She leaves and both continue.
Vijay - why didnt u say anything (no response) dada im talking to you
Arjun breaks out of his thought, thinks and says - kuch nai thinking of this whole Mithali fiasco toh mind was elsewhere.
Vijay - you are overthinking dada... chaliye
They reach dining room, DS - aao beta, inse mileye... (cut off by brothers)
Arjun & vijay - giri uncle
Arjun- its been long time
Giri - yes it has son. Aap humhe bhule nai
Arjun - ofcourse not.. wase bhi aap sabka college album dad k saath dekhta rehta hoon. Aur dad sare kisse sunate hai
Giri and brij - good times (both smile)
Few minutes later Unnati joins them, giriraj introduces her and they remember her.
They all start to eat and talk.
After few hours, giriraj and unnati get ready to leave. DS - "beta aap yaha aa jao rehane. Aapko vijay and arjun ki company milengi"
Unnati - woh Dadishaheb, hum aaj shaam Manali jaa rahe hai, ek hafte k liye friend ki shaadi hai. Fir humhe Jaigarh jaana hai.
DS - "oh acha, time mile toh aati rehna. Aur inka number lelo if you need anything"
They exhange numbers and head out.
