All are having lunch when suddenly chintu interrupts suddenly………

 

 

C:  didi kal priya bua ka phone aaya tha……….unhone aapko advance main birthday wish kiya hai………who kal aapka birthday hai naa……..

 

 

Arjun looks surprised…………..

 

 

B: priya ne phone kiya tha ……kab

 

 

C: who aap bahar thi………kal subha

 

 

B: achcha!!!

 

 

Arjun thinks to himself:

 

 

A: hmmmm to iska matlab……kal bhavri ka birthday hai………

 

 

He thinks something and then joins in the chatter………

 

 

The day passes and evening comes and dinner is a regular affair……..

 

 

Chiintu goes to sleep and arjun and bhumi sit near the window  to talk …………..its still rainig but not much…..Arjun had decided to spend the night in bhumi's home and and to go office the other day………..

 

 

A: kitna pyaara hai naa yeh mausam

 

 

B: (looking out……….its really cold and quiet……..)hmm.....

 

 

A: (suddenly )Bhavri chalo naa bahar chalte hain………

 

 

B: abhi!!

 

 

A: arrey bahar matlab………..garden main baith the hain……..

 

 

Bhumi agrees and they both sit down on the bench……….with only moonlight to accompany them………..

 

 

Arjun looks at bhumi………and thinks how beautiful she looks in moonlight …. bhumi  notices him and blushes a bit

 

 

B: aisa kya dekh rahe ho

 

 

A: (still looking at her lovely)ahem

 

 

             Mat Muskurao itna
             ke phoolon ko khabar lag jaye,
             Ke kare woh tumhari tareef,
             Aur tumhe nazar lag jaye.

 

 

Bhumi blushes on hearing this………….and he just gives a smile……

 

 

A: bhavri……….tumhe yaad hai……..humari pehli mulaqat………..

 

 

B: hmm…….hum kitne lade the naa………..

 

 

A: hmm

 

 

B: aur tuffy bhi naa…..

 

 

A: arrey bhavri…main uss incident ki nahi……..balki uske bare main keh raha hoon…..woh us din din jab hum us wooden bridge main mile the

 

 

Bhumi looks up suprisedly thinking as to how come he came to know abt it……………

 

 

B: tum jante the  ki mainhi who ladki hoon

 

 

A: hmm(smiling)

 

 

B: mujhe laga tum shayad……….(smiles) ………(suddenly) arjun tum bade family se ho………..tumhari koi girlfriend nahi hai……..

 

 

His smile disappears on hearing this and he suddenly remembers shefali and his engagement to her………..

 

 

Suddenly he feels as if he has beeen boughty back to reality and the days spent with bhumi feels……….

 

 

 

As if it were a dream……and as if bhumi's these words have bought his dreams crashing down to reality that he is already some one else's……….

 

 

He doesn't like the thought……..he wants to be bhumi's and not shefali's….

 

 

Suddenly suraj's words ring in brain………Suraj asking him that whether he really wants to marry shefali……..

 

 

 

At that time he(arjun) wasn't able to answer him because he himself was confused……..but now the answer appears clear that……..

 

 

NO….he doesn't want to marry shefali………Because he loves bhumi………..and wants to be with bhumi only……..

 

 

Arjun is silent ………..thinking all these…… Bhumi's heart feels tight ….

 

 

Not being to bear his silence anymore ……..then bhumi suddenly interrupts his thoughts………

 

 

B: arjun!! Kya huwa………

 

 

A; huh!!(a bit startled)

 

 

Bhumi's intervention brings him back and he hesistates to say something……

 

 

He thinks:

 

A: agar main bhavri ko sach bata doonga abhi………to who mujhse door chali jaayegi….mujhpar vishwas nahi karegi……..nahin main usse yeh baat abhi naahi bata sakta………main usse baad main bata doonga…………..par abhi…nahi……..

 

 

B: arjun!!! Huwa kya tum chup kyun ho!!

 

 

A: nahin………mere zindagi main koi nahi

 

 

Suddenly to make a mood bit lighter……….

 

A:        Pyaar main kisine dhoka to kisine kasam khaye

             Hum who hain majnoo hai jisne sirf laat khayi hai……

 

 

Bhumi laughs hearing this……She  feels a sense of relief in her heart………

 

 

B: OH!!!!(Nodding her head)

 

 

Both smile at each other…Arjun seeing her smile forgets everything and just keeps looking at her……..

 

 

Kaash aisa ho ki tumko tumse chura loon,
waqt ko rok kar waqt se ek din chura loon,
tum paas ho to is raat se ek raat chura loon,
tum saath ho to is jahan se ye jahan chura loon.

 

 

 

Both then return to repective rooms and retire to bed although sleep comes to none……….

 

 

Arjun is a bit tensed abt bhumi's question ………abt saying to her abt shefali………and that would mean loosing her………

 

             Tujh se bicharne  ka khayal seh nahi paata

             Phir bhi dil ki baat keh nahi paata

             Kyu hai aakhir zindagi main is qadr majbooriyaan

             Maut bhi nahi aati, zinda bhi re nahi paata

 

 

Meanwhile bhumi on her bed still lying awake thinks abt arjun and the moments…..

 

             Kabse say hai hummko ko ye intezaar

             Kar do na tum bhi iqraar

             Bus keh do ki hai tumko bhi

             Hai tum ko bhi utna hi pyaar
