Chapter 37

Late evening

ESS Conference room

Team had just returned after solving a tough case.. they were behind the gang from past two days n finally were able to nab them n put them behind the bars.

Aryan - [looking at the tired faces] let's call the day off.. kal subah milte he.

He went to his cabin..

Team is talking about random things..

Manushi - aaj sachme bahot thak gaye..

Rehan - haan.. wo gang kaafi tezz thi..

Abhinav - par phir bhi humne unhe pakad liya na..

Neha - kuch aur baat nahi kar sakte kya tum sab?

Manushi - madam Neha! kuch aur baat na kahin aur jaa ke karo..yahan nahi [winks]

Neha - Maan!! Chup kar nahi to unn gundo ki tarah teri bhi pitayi kar dungi!

Manushi - rehne de.. main mere bhai [Karan] se kahungi na to wo tujhe bahot acche se dekh lega!

Neha - haan.. dekhne ke alawa aur kuch aata ho to karega na..

Manushi - what do you mean??

Neha - I mean to say.. [her phone buzzed] baad me batati hu what I mean..

Manushi - chhi.. main aisi ladki nahi hu!

Neha shook her head n went to recieve the call.

Rehan - ye tum dono code-word me kya baate karte ho.. kuch samajh hi nahi aata

Abhinav - haan.. lekin ek baat to he.. tum dono hamesha double meaning baate karte ho.. right??

Manushi - wo sab na Neha ko puchna.. mujhe nahi!

meanwhile Aryan came back to conference room..

Aryan - tum logo ko ghar nahi jana kya?

Abhinav - chief.. wo hum jaa hi rahe the..

Aryan - to jao.. aur nahi jaana ho to paperwork khatam karo!

Soon all of them left..

Rawte Mansion

Half an hour later, after returning from ESS, Neha was ready to go out.

Neha - bhau, main mere dost ke ghar jaa rahi hu.. dinner uske saath hi karungi.

Aryan - ok.. kab tak wapas aaogi?

Neha - pata nahi.

Aryan - kyu?

Neha - late ho jaungi.. ya to naa bhi aau.. not sure.. ab main chalti hu bhau..

She left without hearing the reply.

After driving for almost 35 minutes, Neha reached the place, Vikram's flat. The door opened even before she knocked!

Neha - tumhe kaise pata chala ki main aa gayi?

Vikram - It was just a co-incidence.. maine tumhare liye darwaza nahi khola.. main bahar jaa raha tha.

Neha - ye achha he.. mujhe ghar bulate ho aur khud bahar jaa rahe the? [she walks inside]

Vikram - nahi wo fridge me kuch tha nahi to socha thodi si shopping karke aata hu.. lekin tum jaldi aa gayi.

Neha - to mujhe keh dete.. me le aati

Vikram - tab mujhe yaad nahi tha..

Neha - koi bat nahi.. to chalte he..shopping karne!

Vikram - chalo!

they go to a nearby mall for shopping n return after an hour..

Neha - [sitting on couch] huff.. thak gayi! tum pehle nahi bata sakte the ki poore mahine ka ration lena he..

Vikram - maine tumse nahi kaha tha ki mere saath aao..tumhara hi plan tha.. ab khana banate he!

Neha - Maggi bana do!

Vikram - that's so..

Neha - please.. main bahot thak gayi hu.. to maggi ke alawa kuch aur banane ki takat nahi he mujhme!

Vikram - tum renhe do.. main bana leta hu.

Neha - robt please! bahot din ho gaye maine maggi nahi khayi.. banao na.. waise bhi mujhe bahot bhook lagi he! pleej..pleej!! [yelling]

Vikram - [closing his ears with hand] ok..fine!

he made maggi n both of them eat n chat..

after dinner, the both sit on the couch, Neha sitting on one, Vikram sitting in front of her.

Vikram - tumne phirse jyada drink karna shuru kar diya na?

Neha - nahi to.. sirf 2 bottle..wo bhi kabhi kabhi!

Vikram - jhoot mat bolo.. aur kabhi kabhi?? you drink almost every other day! aur 2 bottle to aise keh rahi ho jaise 150 ml ki bottle ho.. whisky ki bottle puri 1 litre ki hoti he.. n you finish 2!

Neha - to? ab tumhe usse bhi problem he kya??

Vikram - haan.. he.. itna drink karna sehat ke liye accha nahi hota

Neha - jaanti hu.. kuch aisa batao jo mujhe na pata ho!

Vikram - aaj kal tumhare baat karne ka tarika kaafi badal gaya he.. you talk very rudely!

Neha - [said slowly, not looking at him] aisa kuch nahi he..

Vikram - meri taraf dekh ke ye baat bolo!

Neha - [in a bit louder tone] aisa kuch nahi he!

Vikram - [smirked] chillane se sach nahi badal jata!

Neha - [annoyed, sadly] tum mujhe ye lecture kyu de rahe ho?

Vikram - lecture nahi de raha.. ek simple si baat samjha raha hu!

Neha - rehne do..uski koi zarurat nahi he!

Neha's phone rings.. she picks the call before the second ring,

Neha - [squeals] hello! Shanu Di!

Shanaya - hello Chutki..kaisi he tu?

Neha - main thik hu.. ek dum first class! aap bataiye aap kisi he? aur chutku kaisa he?

Shanaya - hum dono thik he!

Abhay - [complaining] hamare baare me to koi puchta hi nahi!

Neha - oh.. jijz! hello! aap kaise he?

Abhay - thik hi hu!

Neha - [puts the cell on loudspeaker mode] hmm.. waise kaafi dino baad yaad aayi aapko meri!

Shanaya - yaad to roz aati he chutki lekin phone nahi kar paati!

Vikram - ye accha he.. mujhe to koi yaad hi nahi karta!

Abhay - oh hi Vikram! tum bhi ho..accha he! dekh le bhai.. hum dono ki halat ek jaisi hi he.. ye dono to hume kuch samajhti hi nahi.. inn ka bas chale to ek dusre se baat karne me puri duniya ko bhul jaaye!

Vikram - sahi keh rahe he aap bhaiya!

Shanaya - dekhiye devar ji.. iss tarah hamari burayi na karein!

Neha - Vikram! tum to khas nahi.. yahan hi ho.. to pitayi karne me der nahi lagegi!

Abhay - aye saali..

Shanaya - Abhay!!

Abhay - mera matlab he saali-sahiba.. aapne agar mere bhai ko pareshan kiya ha.. to accha nahi hoga!

Neha - dekhiye jijaji.. aap iss tarah hamare saamne hamari hi burayi karenge na to yahi hoga!

Abhay - koi baat nahi.. aap dono apne kaan band kar lijiye.. phir hum baat karenge.. kyu Vikram? sahi he naa!

Vikram - haan bhai.. ek dum sahi kaha aapne!

Neha - to ek kaam kijiye jijz..aap Vikram ko uske cell par call kijiye.. aur aapas me jo baat karni he kijiye.. hum disturb nahi karenge.. main aur Di hamari baate karte he! right Di?

Shanaya - hmm.. good idea chutki!

Abhay - haan thik he!

Neha puts the cell on normal mode n soon Vikram's phone rings n he takes the call.. all four of them chat individually for a long time n then say good-byes.

Neha - kitna accha laga Di se baat kar ke!

Vikram - haan.. mujhe bhi bhai se baat karke bahot maza aaya!

Neha - haan.. hamari burayi karne me maza to ayega hi!

Vikram - hum log aapki burayi nahi kar rahe the!

Neha - to phir kya baate ho rahi thi??

Vikram - wo main tumhe kyu batau? tum bataogi ki tum aur Shanaya bhabhi kya baate kar rahe the?

Neha - girls talks1 tumhare kaam ki nahi he!

Vikram - hmm.. to boys talks bhi tumhare kaam ki nahi he!

Neha - how rude! [pouts]

Vikram - hmm.. rude ye yaad aaya.. hum wahi baat kar rahe the.. Neha.. stop being rude.. accha nahi lagta..

Neha - tum phir shuru ho gaye.. hadd he yaar!!

Vikram - haan.. aur kyuki ye ghar mera he to jo meri marzi hogi wahi chalegi.. aur tumhe sun-na padega!

Neha - ek shart pe sunungi tumhara lecture!

Vikram - chalega! tumari har shart manzur he!

Neha - shart to sun lo! usse pehle hi maan rahe ho.. waise maan hi liya he to achha he.. sunao.. tumhare lecture kabhi-kabhi thode interesting bhi hote he! atleast kuch naya sunne ko milta he.. go ahead my hermit!

Vikram - as you say.. scorpion!

As he starts his lecture, she pulls out a bottle of whisky from her purse! Vikram's eyes pop out seeing the bottle!

Vikram - ye kya he?

Neha - whisky! meri shart ye thi ki tum apne lecture continu karo.. me meri bottle khatam karti hu!

Vikram - no way! you are not drinking even a single drop from this bottle!

Neha - tumne hi meri shart maani thi.. aur bas aadhi bottle.. usse jyada nahi!

vrk - no.. bilkool nahi..

Neha - Vikram please.. thik he.. sirf 2 peg.. ab to maan jao! only 2..

Vikram - ok.. but peg main banaunga!

Neha - nahi.. [she knew if he made he would add only a few drops of alcohol] main khud bana lungi..

He continued his lecture.. while Neha made 2 large pegs for herself.. emptying half of the bottle!

after a while as he went to washroom, Neha quickly emptied the half from the left n added water in the bottle so that it would show that half bottle is filled! she looked at the slight colour change in the bottle as the shade changed to a lighter one as added water to it..

Neha - why does this bottle have to be transparent?? [she kept the bottle back in her purse]

Vikram came back n saw there was no bottle!

Vikram - puri bottle khatam kar di na??

Neha - nahi to.. [shows the bottle from her bag] kaha tha aadhi.. to sirf aadhi! waise tumhare liye ek gaana gau??

Vikram - mere liye?? [shocked]

Neha - haan.. [Vikram nods..she sings] gulaabi aankhen jo teri dekhi.. sharabi ye dil ho gaya.. sambhalo mujhko o mere yaaro sambhalna mushkil ho gaya..

Vikram - ye gaana mere liye nahi.. apne Karan ke liye gaana! nonsense!!

Neha - ohh.. gana pasand nahi aaya doctor sahab! koi nahi.. you can resume your lecture!

he lectured her for another hour..

Vikram - to tum samjhi main kya kehna chahta hu? [he asked her as he turned towards her n to his surprize she'd dirfted off to sleep.. he sighed] so gayi?? agar sona hi tha to pehle keh deti.. me meri itni energy waste nahi karte lecture sunane me! [he looked at her.. she was sleeping peacefully on the couch.. her face was calm n serene.. looking really cute..he kept looking at her for a few minutes n then smacked his head] never ever think about it again.. she is your friend.. that's it!

as he was looking at her, few locks of hair fell on her face due to the cold breeze.. he went to her n slowly tucked her hair behind her ear.. but Neha woke up n looked at him.

Vikram - wo..

Neha - sorry.. tum kuch keh rahe the aur main so gayi.. pata nahi kab aankh lag gayi.. [she said without letting him complete.. then she looked at watch.. it was 2 a.m.]

Vikram - koi baat nahi.. waise ghar jaane..

Neha - pagal ho gaye ho kya? abhi do baj rahe he ghar jaate jaate dhai [2:30] baj jayenge I'm little drunk to tum mujhe akele jaane nahi doge, ghar tak drop karne aaoge aur tumhe wapas aate aate 3 baj jayenge to main yahin ruk jaati hu kal subah chali jaungi. [she said in one breathe]

Vikram - what?? [she said it so quickly that he couldn't follow!]

Neha - kuch nahi.. main ye soch rahi thi ki aaj raat yahin ruk jaati hu.. agar tumhe koi problem na ho to!

Vikram - are you sure?

Neha - yes I am.

Vikram - waise you're lucky.. aaj hi maid ne guest-room saaf kiya he!

Neha - that's good! then I'm going to sleep.. good night..

Vikram - good night!

they both went to sleep in their respective rooms, Neha in guest room n Vikram in his bedroom.

Other corner of the city..

sleep was far away from his eyes.. he kept shifting his sides but couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep.. he took his cell n looked at her pic.. he caressed the pic with his fingers..

"ye kya he?? na koi call na mesaage.. na reply.. itni busy ho ke mere liye thoda sa bhi time nahi he? meri yaad nahi aati kya tumhe? main maanta hu ki tum busy hogi koi case hoga.. lekin mere itne calls dekhke ek baar to call back kar hi sakti thi na.. lekin nahi.. tumhe to bahot bhav khana he na! tell me one thing.. do you really love me? ya phir bas aise hi timepass kar rahi ho?? are you even serious about our relationship?? tell me! wo koun tha jis ke saath tum baat kar rahi thi? Maan.. ab ye koun he.. I swear.. mere saamne aane do use.. itna maaronga.. itna maaronga ki khud ki shakal bhi bhul jayega..batao..nahi.. tum kyu kuch bologi?? saamne hoti ho tab thik se baat nahi karti.. ab tasveer me se kya kahogi?? waise kaafi busy ho gayi ho aaj kal.. ya phir priorities badal gayi he?? tumhare paas sabke liye waqt he.. family, friends.. bas mere liye nahi.. kyu? main koun hu? kya main tumhare liye kuch maayne nahi rakhta? tell me.. tell me Damn it! I love you.. do you love me?? kya tum bhi mujhse pyaar karti ho?? batao mujhe.."

saying so, he closed his eyes..he saw her.. she was wearing the same dress she had worn on their first date.. she said "I love you".. her words still rang in his ears n mind.. there was a sort of seriousness n commitment in her voice.. n he drifted off to sleep.. in her dreams.. in their dreams!
