Part - 5
Arjun turned towards Sameer, and found him lost somewhere.
"Kya huya? Kiski yaadon mein khoya hai..." Arjun asked him.
Sameer nodded in -ve, but Arjun could very well notice tensed expressions on his friend's face.
Kuch toh choot raha hai...
***
The guests and the bridegroom, waited for the bride's arrival. The bride arrived a few minutes later.
She walked towards the raised platform, and stood in front of Robert.
Vaishali removed that net cap and waved Robert a hi. Robert looked at her dumbstruck!
"Tum? Tum kaun ho? Aur Liza kahaan hai?"
Everyone looked here n there. Where was Liza? Aayesha found Shree missing!
Kahin dono bhaag toh nhi gaye...
Chotu-Arpi looked at each other and they knew what might have happened.
***
The next day,
ETF Office,
Except ShrIza, every single team member was present.
"Koi batayega bhi ki kahaan gaayab hai Shree aur Liza?" Sameer yelled at the top of his voice.
Except Chotu-Arpi no one had answers, but they were too scared to speak up.
Arj : Kya Sam...bhaagey woh dono hai aur tu chillane laga huya hai...
Suddenly, Sameer was reminded of something. He walked out of the conference room.
Arj : "Gussa ho gaya kya? Arey sorry...sunn Sam...oye!"
Arjun tried to call him but Sameer walked into his cabin and claimed the chair.
Anushka...Sach mein shaadi ho gayi kya uski? But then...his presence brought in so much of negativity...maybe i'm thinking too much...he seemed to be a good guy...but then why so much of negative vibes?
Sameer was busy stressing his brain, when Arjun came in.
Arj : "Kamine...tu bhi kya...itni se baat pe bhadak gaya..."
Sam : (coming out of the thought process) "Kya?"
Arj : "Oye? Dekh raha hunn tu kahin khoya khoya hai...kiski yaadon mein khoya hai zara mujhe bhi bata de..."
Sam : "Arjun..."
Arj : (seriously) "Acha acha samajh gaya...office mein no person talks...yaad hai mujhe..."
"Better..." Sameer replied, and was again lost somewhere.
"Arey mere boss cum saale cum best friend...bol de kya problem hai...jab tak tu bolega nahi...tab tak na tujhe chain padega na mujhe..." Arjun spoke up, sensing his best friend lost in deep thoughts.
Sam : "Woh...Kal tu mila tha na Neil aur Anushka ko?"
Arj : "Haan...toh?"
Sam : "Your views on Neil...I mean...I..."
Arj : (with a naughty smirk) "Sunn Sam...pehli baat mujhe ladkon mein koi interest nahi hai...aur agar by chance, in any case, mera mind change ho jaaye...dimaag hil jaaye...toh ladkon mein meri pehli choice tu hai..."
Sameer picked up a paper-weight, pointing it at Arjun,
"Bakwaas mat kar...aur filhaal ke liye toh specially, dimaag ki dahi mat kar...bhaag jaa yahaan se..."
Arj : (grins) "Arey mere hone waale saale sahaab...mein mazak kar raha tha..."
Sam : (in a serious tone) "Hone waale jija ji...aap yahaan se khud nikalne ka kasht karenge...ya marun tujhe ye paper weight?"
Arjun got up and ran out of Sameer's cabin,
"Aaj baat kuch zyaada hi serious hai..."

Somewhere in Goa,
Li : "Specky, hum kab tak aise hi bhagenge...?"
Sh : "Jab tak mamla thanda nahi padh jaata..."
Liza walked away, and stood at the balcony, resting her hands on the railings. Shree followed her, giving her a bear hug from behind.
"Arey meri princess, kuch nahi hone waala...don't be so tensed...(after a few seconds) Vaise bhi tum chup chup achi nahi lagti..." Shree spoke up.
"Kya?" she turned and hit him playfully.
He encircled his arms around her waist, pulling her closer,
"Sab theek ho jayega Liza...don't worry...bas theek hone mein thoda time lagega..."
She nodded in +ve, as he pulled her more closer, leaving no space b/w their bodies. He cupped her face, and pecked her lips.

She was having her food silently, with her MIL n FIL discussing on random topics.
Suddenly, he entered, thumping his foot on the ground. She noticed him, lowered her gaze, and had her food, silently. He came and sat next to her. She sent a silent pray to god, and served him food.
Luckily, he wasn't in his rude mood as usual. He was having his food silently, conversing with his parents in b/w.
A few minutes later,
Anu arranged the bed, as Indraneil came out of the washroom. Before he could bark upon her, his mother came inside the room.
"Anu beta, humare kamre mein aana, aapse kuch kaam tha..." she spoke up.
Anu nodded in +ve and went into her mil n fil's room.
"Beta, hum jaante hain ki Neil aapko bahut pareshaan karta hai..." said Mr.Dasgupta, as he motioned her to sit down.
Mr.&Mrs.Dasgupta too sat in front of her, as Anu waited for them to continue.
"Humne uski shaadi aapse issliye karwayi thi ki woh thoda sudhar jaaye...lekin...humne uski khushi ke liye aapki shaadi uss se karwayi, lekin..." Mrs.Dasgupta didn't continue.
She took her hands in hers, and gently squeezed them,
"Maana ki abhi kuch zyaada waqt nahi huya tumhari aur Neil ki shaadi ko...(looks at Mr.Dasgupta n back at her) Par sach toh yeh hai ki hum chahte hain ki tum jald se jald Neil se durr ho jao...nahin toh jo Nandini..." she stopped abruptly.
Anushka looked at her confused, "Nandini? Woh kaun hai?"
"Neil ki pehli biwi..." Mr.Dasgupta spoke up, as he walked upto the window.
***
The next day,
"Specky, I'm telling you, it's not safe to come back, woh bhi sabse pehle ETF Office...nahi nahi...come on let's go back..." Liza spoke up, as she looked at the ETF Building.
"Ik na ik din toh waapas aana hi padega..." Shree replied her as he literally dragged her.
Bad fate! As they walked in the corridor, grabbing everyone's eye balls, they saw both khadus bosses walking towards them. The poor couple freezed at their place.
The KB's noticed ShrIza. Sameer was the first one to walk towards them, while Arjun kept on standing at his place.
Bechare...inhein toh pata hi nahi ki Sam ka mood kitna kharab hai...aaj toh diwali na hoke bhi diwali celebration hone waali hai...Arjun thought.
At the same moment, Aayesha, Sakshi, Riya and Chotu came out of the conference room.
Aaj toh yeh dono gaye...
Sameer was standing in front of Shree, as the poor fellow stood there with his face lowered, while Liza slid behind Shree.
"Kyun bhage tum dono? Bhagne ke liye kisne kaha tha? Humein ik baar bata toh dete...do you how much embarrased her parents were when they came to know that Liza ran away? Ik baar bata dete toh hum log tum dono ke parents se baat kar lete..." Sameer spoke up.
Shree stood there silent. Then, suddenly,
"Batane ka bhi kya faayda hota? Humare parents kabhi bhi haan nahi kehte...aur hum dono kabhi bhi ik saath na ho pate...he loves me, I love him...lekin beech mein log kyun aate hain? Jab hum dono saath mein khush hain toh baaki logon ko kya problem hai...humari zindagi, hum jaise marji jee lein...par log...Sir jis din aapko bhi kisi se pyaar ho jayega uss din aap samajh jayenge humne yeh kyun kiya..." Liza replied him, and dragged Shree out of the ETF Office, as Sameer kept on looking their retreating figures.
***
A few hours later,
Arjun drove the car, as he noticed Sameer lost in deep thoughts. Indeed he was lost.
Sir jis din aapko bhi kisi se pyaar ho jayega uss din aap samajh jayenge humne yeh kyun kiya...
Wasn't she correct? Whatever they did, there was nothing wrong in it...they love each other, and want to live with each other, peacefully...thats it! Damn it! Why am I thinking about this love thing so much these days...
Arj : "Aajkal tu kahaan khoya khoya rehta hai? Kiske khayalon mein? Ab bata bhi de...kaun hai meri bhabhi? Lei, mein bhi kaise question puchta hunn...Aayesha hi hogi aur kaun..."
Sameer looked at him confused, he hadn't heard anything that Arjun spoke up.
"Hunn? Kya kaha tunhe? Sorry mein kuch aur soch raha tha toh meine sunna nahi..." Sameer replied.
Arjun was a bit confused at his best friend's behaviour these days.
"Kuch khaas nahi...khair, tu Shree aur Liza pe itna mat bhadak...samajh raha hai na?" Arjun spoke up.
"Yeah..." Sameer replied, as the SUV came to a stop.
He stepped out of the SUV, thanked Arjun and went inside the complex.
To be continued...
