Part 17^th

At office

Rahul: aaj tu aa raha hai na meri party mein?

Shravan : han aa raha hun

Rahul: akele nahi

Shravan: han kisi ko sath le ke hi aaunga

Rahul: apni bhabhi ko nahi pichle saal jaise

Shravan: han bhabhi ko nahi la raha hun

Rahul: toh kise?

Shravan: mil lena shyam ko

Rahul thinking – mujhe pata hai Shravan aur maine bahut accha kuch plan kar rakha hai us ladki ke liye

Dekhte jao

Rahul: naam to bata de

Shravan: kaha na shyam mein

Shravan reached Sanchi's house well on time

He pressed the button and kaka opened the door

Sanchi was somewhere inside and she shouted: bas 5 min

Shravan thought: ladkiyon ke 5 min toh kabhi khatam hi nahi hote

Thinking like this he turned and he faced a full length mirror which looked at the door

He was just looking at the mirror when Sanchi arrived at the door

And she looked beautiful , white anarkali suit, hair left open flowing dowm her shoulder, a silver bracelet on her small hands , and two beautiful earrings adorning her ears

A locket on silver chain in the neck .

Shravan forced himself to breathe and he was awestruck because he was sure that Sanchi didn't realize what effect she was having on him……….he was just staring at her through the mirror forgetting himself

Sanchi came inside the room and saw shravan seeing himself in the mirror: yeh ladka apne aap ko mirror mein kitni der tak dekhega

She went and tapped on his shoulder

Sanchi: agar aapne apne aap ko nihaar liya ho mirror mein toh main bhi aapne aap ko dekh lun?

Shravan who was lost , turned and said: hmmm huh , dekh lo , maine kab mana kiya

Sanchi: saara mirror toh tumne chek liya main kaise dekhun , hato

Shravan: very quietly mat dekho tumko khud ki nazar lag jayeghi

Sanchi turned : kya kaha tumne

Shravan: maine kya kaha kuch nahi and he turned back

Sanchi started setting her hair and her suit in the mirror shravan turned and looked at her again and kept on peeping

Then their eyes met in the mirror

They stared at each other for a minute and then both uncomfortable turned away

Disco

Shravan propelled Sanchi inside the disco, she was not feeling comfortable but allowed herself to be led

Rahul saw them both coming inside and smiled to himself

Rahul: hello shravan, tumhare sath yeh hottie kaun hai

Shravan felt Sanchi stiffening beside him

Shravan could feel Rahul's leered gaze on Sanchi and smelled the alcohol breadth

He protectively put his hand around Sanchi

Shravan: happy b'day Rahul

Sanchi felt a strange apprehension when she entered the disco and when that cheesy guy Rahul came and leered at her , she felt even more scared but it all vanished when Shravan put his hands on shoulder and with this gesture pushed her a little behind himself as if protecting her

She felt very happy, it was as if she belonged to him now

All her life Sanchi had wanted to be belonged, to be a part of someone else's life and somehow this gesture of Shravan just made her feel like what she had always wanted to feel

She stared at Shravan when he talked to Rahul keeping her close by and yet away from Rahul's gaze

God: han beta bas yahi main tumko dena chahata tha, security, Shravan tumhe kabhi nahi chodega , tumhari jeevan dhara iss sahil ke sath hi chaleghi ab……….

Rahul noticed this too

Rahul: milvayegha nahi apni nayi dost se(taunt)

Main jaanta hun ise: Sanchi- doon school English teacher

Wahin se padhi bhi hai , scholarship leke college bhi kiya hai…nirmala devi orphanage mein saari zindagi gujaari hai

Shravan : Rahul yeh sab tumhe kaise maloom aur yeh baatein uthane ki yahan kya jarurat , Sanchi meri dost hai

Rahul: tu toh kehta tha ki tu ladkiyon se dosti nahi karta, hmm waise aise sundar ladki ho toh koi bhi apne baat palat sakta hai , kahan chupi thi abhi tak aap Sanchi ji humse bhi dosti kar lijiye

Saying this Rahul pulled at Sanchi's hand

Shravan stopped him and said : RAHUL bas

Rahul: thik hai thik hai , tumhari hi hai main toh bas introduction chahata tha….he then again laughed

God: ab yeh jagah hi baneghi tumdono ken aye rishte ki buniyaad.. jyada acchi jagah nahi hai, romantic jagah bhi nahi hai , aur shyad conditions bhi nahi hain, lekin ab jo hai usse se hi kaam chalana padega

Hmm
