Aman: To ab kya karna hai..
After getting to know the entire story from the girls Aman was shocked at the situation his best friend had put herself in.
Muskaan : kuch nahi karna.. bas jaise chal raha hai waise hi thik hai
Naazneen stares at Muskaan.
Naaz : what are you saying Muskaan? Tumhe atleast bade abbu se baat karke ye sab rokna chahiye
Muskaan : Aur kya kahungi mein unse?
Naaz opened her mouth to object but realized that she had nothing to say.
Aman : Why don’t you confront Armaan?
Muskaan : Koi fayda nahi. He does not reciprocate my feelings
Naaz : and how are you so sure of that?
Muskaan : Ye tu puch rahi hai Naaz? Tune to dekh hai na Armaan ko? Tujhe to ye bhi pata hai ki kitni ladkiya uske peeche.. (she paused).. yaad nahi wo ladki us din us shaadi ke reception me.. I have just become another woman in that list. Maine soch kaise liya.. ki meri zindagi mein bhi koi Khushi hogi..how did I trust my destiny so much. I have made a fool of myself.
Aman didn’t like what he was hearing. Before he could make up his mind on what to say, Muskaan gets up to leave.
Muskaan : I have to go, mujhe dad ne balaya tha kuch kaam se. Naaz are you coming with me?
Naaz stares at Aman who nods at her quietly and she leaves with Muskaan.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Aman is restlessly pacing the floor of his room. He cannot see Muskaan in this state. He doesn’t know how he can help her. He also understands that what he heard today from Muskaan is a very one-sided version of the story. They have no idea how Armaan looks at this whole story. And what about Zaheer? The more he is thinking the more he is getting confused. He finally settles on the bed and throws his head in his hands. And a bright idea strikes him!
He lifts his phone and calls.. Muskaan’s father, Feroz.
Aman : Hi uncle, how are you?
Feroz : What a surprise Aman. Kaise ho beta?
A : Bas thik hu uncle . Waise mein aaj kal Mumbai mein hu apne parents ke saath
F : Ye to bohot achi news di tumne. Kabhi ghar bhi ao hum sabse milne.
A : Ofcourse uncle. Waise aaj Naaz se baat hui to wo bata rahi thi ki apke naye projects me kuch complications hai and I thought maybe legal counsel can help. To maine socha kyu na mein help kardu, if you don’t mind. Mujhe bhi experience mil jaega. Waise bhi mera naya job start hone me abhi kuch time hai.
F: Ofcourse beta. I am sure ki tumhari help zaroor kaam aegi. Aisa karo tum kal office hi ajao. Baki baatein wahi karte hai. Thik hai?
A : Sure uncle. Sounds good to me. See you then!
Aman disconnects the phone with a sly smile on his face. Well.. You don’t win a battle by sitting on the sidelines.. its time to get down and dirty in the battlefield.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
As Aman entered the Malik Industries bright and early the falling morning, he found Muskaan in the reception area and staring at him.
M : tum yaha?
A : tum jaha mein waha (smiles)
M : really? Tum yaha mujhse milne ae the?
A : nahi to. Ye maine kab kaha?
M : Uff Aman tum
Aman : relax. Mujhe Uncle ne bulaya hai. Tumhare us Singhania project mein legal counsel help ke liye. Acha batao how are you feeling this morning?
Muskaan tries to smile but fails.
Aman lifts her face gently with his finger.
Aman : don’t worry mein agaya hu na. Ab meri friend ko koi nahi rula sakta.
Muskaan manages a little smile at his gesture.
He tells her a joke and she bursts out laughing. He smiles looking at her and sweetly touches her head with his hand.
Aman: Chale? Uncle se milte hai
As they leave the place, Armaan is left staring behind them. He witnessed their entire scene though he could not hear their conversation.
Armaan : (thinking) ye hai kaun?
His question is answered soon enough. When they are all waiting in the conference room to discuss important aspects of their project, Feroz happily walks inside with Aman by his side and introduces him to everyone.
Feroz : Naaz, Muskaan aur Aman college ke dino se saath hai. And they are inseparable best friends. Kyu thik kaha na?
Aman : Yesss sir (smiles)
Feroz : Aman has a top notch legal degree and excellent experience. I am sure his advice on our project will be very valuable.
Aman : I will try my best uncle.
As Aman gets introduced to the various members in the office,h e meets them professionally and with a friendly charm. Until he reaches Armaan.
As the two men come face to face, both are taking their time to study the other one.
Aman is trying to read whatever he can of Armaan and Armaan on the other hand is recollecting the scene he witnessed that morning and thinking..: Muskaan ‘s best friend? Really .. (smirks)
They finally have a short and cold handshake and take their seats as the meeting proceeds.
Part ends.
Comments awaited.
