Chapter 16

PART - XVI

li & Pooja were busy with themselves. They still loved each other but none of them confessed that. There was an absolute silence since all of them were waiting for them to look around but Ali & Pooja didn't even realize that. Finally Alekh got up & took Pooja's hand.

"Oye Qaidi, kya kar raha hai"

"Chal apun ke saath"

"Kahan"

"Dance floor pe" and he took her with him for dance.

5 minutes later Naina dragged Ali to the dance floor.

Ali & Pooja were in no mood to dance. At least not with the partners that they had. They were stealing glances at each other & their partners were making all possible attempts to distract them. Alekh looked at Naina & winked at her…He then slowly pushed Pooja towards Ali & Naina came to Alekh. Pooja was looking at Ali and was not ready for this and she got imbalanced and landed up perfectly where she belonged…. in Ali's arms. Now Ali & Alekh had new partners. Ali &Pooja looked much comfortable dancing together.

 

Yudi had to ask this .It was bothering him from the time he saw Huda & Naina enter together.

"Huda aaj tu Naina ke saath aaya tha"

"Haan to"

"To… scene kya hai tum dono ka"

"Oye, ab phoolan Huda ke saath nahin aayegi to aur kiske saath aayegi…personality hi aisi hai Huda ki" Huda answered in his usual bragging style.

"No ways Dude….not again"

Yudi also got up & took Roohy's hand and joined Alekh & Naina on the dance floor.

As Yudi left, the smile on Huda's face faded away gradually. He still loved Naina but he knew Naina belonged to someone else. The pain was so clearly there on his face. After a while he signaled Alekh & Yudi to return & they came back with their partners.

"Oye dekho un dono ko, din-duniya se bekhabar khoye hue hain ek doosre ki aankhon mein" Said Huda.

"You are right chief lekin mujhe to yeh saamjh mein nahin aata ki agar yeh dono ek doosre se itna hi pyar karte hain to itni si baat keh kyun nahin dete"

"Kuch to karna hi padega in dono ka" Huda looked at them hopelessly.

"Lekin hum ismein kar hi kya sakte hain?" Naina questioned Huda.

"Kya kar sakte hain… Arrey bahut kuch kar sakte hain"

Huda got up. He held the back of Naina's chair & bent himself lowering his face till it was right next to hers. Naina turned towards him & her cheeks rubbed against his. She then turned back. She could feel his breath caressing her neck. It was affecting her. Huda then lifted her chin with his finger & turned her face a little bit towards himself.

"Yaad hai jab tujhe MBA ka bhoot chadha tha ……. Mera rishta le ke aayi thi Pooja tere paas.Aur tu apni usi best friend ke liye kuch nahin karegi"

Alekh, Yudi & Roohy had their eyes fixed at the two of them. They forgot Ali & Pooja for a while. They really wanted to know if Huda was serious or just trying to flirt with Naina. But Naina could see that there was a mischief playing in his eyes. She slapped on his hand with which he held her chin.

"Usne mere saath aisa kiya aur tu phir bhir bhi usko meri best friend keh raha hai"

First Roohy and then Naina, girls were in a mood to do some leg pulling & Huda realized it wasn't his lucky day. So he quietly got back to his chair.

"Achcha ab mazak chod aur seriously bata, do you have any plan?"

There was a wicked smile on Huda's face.
