Chapter 17

 

 

All of them are stunned…………they keep lookin at  stairs……

 

The three girls are coming down amidst the flowers arranged on the either side of the stairs ………mansvi is in the center and bhumi and shefali on either side holding mansvi's arms……

 

Arjun keeps looking at bhumi……whereas bhumi is not looking at him…….she is looking down and at mansvi……

 

Bhumi is wearing a night blue colour lehenga…….with hairs open…….blue stone embedded jewellery……bangles…..

 

Arjun keeps lookin at her……he is not able to remove his eyes from her……………..

 

In his mind ……..

 

A: wow!! Bhavri is looking soooo beautiful……she is so pretty……..

 

Bhumi slowly lifted  her eye and looks up……and notices arjun who's looking or rather staring at her…….

 

She looks….up at him…….and seems as if their eyes have got locked……..

 

Next ……Yuv sees shefali……..

 

Shefali is wering a  dark maroon chudidaar set with short kurti…..perfectly matching to her figure……matching jewellery and bangles….

 

Yuvv: ( in his mind) wow shefu is looking so ravishing in this outfit……so sexy and and so beautiful…….

 

Shefali smiles looking at him……….

 

 

And finally suraj …….he keeps looking at masnvi……and in his mind………

 

 

Well he is so besotted by mansvi's beauty that he is not able to think anything…….

 

Mansvi too looks at him shyly………

 

All three girls come down and come near the guys

 

 

Arjun and bhumi still keeping staring at each other forgetting everything else…….

 

Similar is the condition of suraj and mansvi….

 

Only yuv and shefali are the ones who are still mentally present there……

 

 

Y: hey shefu baby……u look stunning!!

 

Sf:(smiles) thanx

 

Suraj and mansvi's gazes are locked to each others…….

 

In his mind……suraj thinks……

 

Su: mansvi I have waited for this moment for so long…..

 

Sf: (looking at mansvi) ahem ahem………

 

Mansvi looks a bit startled at them……

 

Sf: didi ab to aapki bechani door huwi naa…….jeeju ko dekh liya naa

 

Mv: (slowly) chuup!!!!

 

Y: arre didi….oops sorry I mean bhabhi…..sharmaiye mat bhaiyya ka ab tak kuch yahi haal tha…….

 

Su: ( a bit agrily) yuv just shut up!!!

 

Just then shakuntala arrives to take mansvi and suraj with her…….yuvraj goes with them…….shefali calls bhumi to come wid them…….

 

But  she hears no response…….she turns back to look at bhumi……..

 

She is surprised by what she sees……

 

Arjun and bhumi are looking at each other so lovely amidst so many people….forgetting everything else……

 

Shefali nears them……and snaps her finger (chutki bajjati hai)

 

Hearing the snapping sound………bhumi and arjun are bought back to reality……….

 

A: ( a bit stunned) huh!! Kya huwa……

 

Sf: wahhi to main poochnaa chahti hoon…..kya huwa yahan……bolo hmm

 

A: yahan kuch bhi to nahi

 

Bhumi runs away smiling shyly……..arjun looks at bhumi running away……

 

Sf: ahem!! Ahem!! Kya dekh rahe ho…….ke bhumi sharmate huye kitni achchi lagti hai…….

 

He loved bhumi's that look …….so  by mistakedly he said yes…….

 

A: haaan!!(giving a slow sigh)

 

Sf: haan??(surprised)

 

Arjun just realizes what he said………

 

A: mera matlab hai…..erm…….erm……haan chalo sab bula rahe hain…..dekho bhaiyya ……haan aata hoon(showing his hand to someone)……

 

Sf: bachoo ab to pakde  gaye ho…..zaroor koi khichdi pak rahi hai……par shefali se chupana itna aasaan nahi……hmm ab to pol kholni hi padegi(smiles and joins others)

 

Meanwhile......

 

Mansen and sid are trying to catch up wid some drinks…..when shaku arrives….

 

S: ye kya ho raha hai(angry)

 

Mansen a bit shocked and trying to hide the glass of whiskey in his glass…….

 

M: nahi nahi

 

S: kya nahi nahi?sharam nahi aati apne bete ki saghai main sharaab peete huye hmm(her hands on her hips  now)

 

M: ( a bit daringly) so what its my son's engagement??I will do whateva I want!!

 

Sid: good going bro….kee up!! Haan bhabhi mere bhi to bhatije ki saghai hai……….

 

S: achcha…aaj ghar jaakar aapko iski saza zaroor milegi

M: chup bhai se argue karega lets go the ceremony is about to start)

 

The engagement ceremony starts……

 

Pratap: mansvi lo beta suraj ko ring pehnao……

 

Mansvi takes the ring and smiles…..she holds suraj's fingers and wears him the ring…….

 

Suraj and mansvi look at each other……

 

Everyone clapss…….Arjun attention again comes back to bhumi……

 

Bhumi is laughing ………she looks at arjun and skips a heart beat………

 

They  again keep looking at each other……

 

 

Meawhile suraj too wears masnvi the ring……….mansvi smiles shyly……….

 

Everyone congratulates them……….Just then shefali notices bhumi and arjun again staring at each other…..

 

She holds bhumi tightly……which brings back bhumi's attention………

 

Sf: bhumi sab ke saamne…..is waqt to romance to side karo…….

 

B: romance??

 

Sf: haan jaise sirf tumhe sab pata hain….hume nahi….chalo didi ke paas…..

 

She takes bhumi to mansvi…….

 

Now everyone is enjoying the engagement party……Mansvi and suraj are enjoying themelves…..people are coming and congratulating them………..

 

Amidst all these suraj glances a look at mansvi………

 

Her friends are congratulating her and she is happily smiling…..

 

After her friends are gone……she looks at suraj who is standing beside her………….

 

Suraj smiles at her and then thinks in his mind……..

I'm not sure what life could bring ..
I'm not sure if dreams come true,
I'm not sure what love can do …
but am very sure about one thing "I love u a lot"

Mansvi's interruption brings him back……

Mv: suraj what happened…..

Su: nahi kuch nahi…..(saying he holds her hands)

Just then some more people come to congratulate them….and they both get busy with them

Arjun eyes keeps searching for bhumi…..he keeps glancing at her…….so does bhumi…….

 

He thinks in his mind……..

 

Sab hote hue bhi KISIKI kami mehsoos hota hai,
Sabse baten karte karte!! KISIKI baten yaad aa jata hai,
Khusi ke mehfil me KISIKI saath ko tarse ye DIL to,
Samjhao apni DIL ko ki yehi PYAR hai

 

He smiles at this thought…….

 

Just then……..Bhumi gets a note…..

 

 

" Wanna say something important…….very important……that will change your life foreva……come immediately to the terrace……URGENT"……
