'ArSha- a love tale'(OS)~HBD asma~ pg7 *pls see*

Sometimes Some love stories are just like "forbidden love" no matter how much love exists between the two, they aren't meant to be with each other.. but that's what fate says rite ? if there are people who still believe in magic, if people still believe God exists, if people still believe there is hell and heaven then people are ought to believe Miracles happen!!!

Coming to Mumbai was his dream.. making the world know about him and his talent was his wish.. leaving a benchmark on the world of dance was his ultimate desire.. dance being his passion is responsible for all ups and downs in his life.. if today he regrets few of his decisions, he is indeed proud of few decisions which brought him to the level which he could only dream off.. the path wasn't easy.. it wasn't easy for any one either..! how can he be an exception ? few called him "small town guy" few addressed him with weird nick names.. few still hate him.. but there is a world inside this huge world were only his lovers his followers his admirers exist.. isn't he proud of it ? or isn't he lucky enough to get thousands of crazy fans ? or aren't those themselves lucky to be called his fans..? today he is world recognized dancer Kunwar Amarjeet Singh.. but it wasn't enough though, he is also one of the best actors.. Accomplishments finally showing its colors.. he is one of the humble celebrities in town..

All his dreams were eventually coming true.. just like every other struggler he too went through a phase were the desires and dreams were infinity! Were he could do anything to reach heights! Were he for the once failed to listen to its heart..!!

He had just entered DID.. those days were fun masti and it was great experience! That's how he remembers those days.. but from inside somewhere the moon like memories has its scars marked on it.. he was a human being too who was chasing his dreams.. being a man and trying to reach heights in the world of dancing he had few wishes or rather desires ?

First to prove that he is a best dancer and make people love him for his talent ! Second to prove himself he is worth it and to make the world know him! Third to have a big house in town! Fourth to have a beautiful gf! Fifth to be one of the recognized celebs of the towns.. Initially keeping this in mind he had started his journey.. soon he began it, his friend 'charlie' was quietly getting close to him.. he wasn't that attentive about their growing friendship.. every other people he met had 3 things in their life "money" "girl" and "talent" but he lacked in first too..! keeping himself up in the last one he went on in his life.. but the time he met a girl, he felt himself going head over heels for her..! he did realize his little yet huge crush on her.. but gradually when he started knowing her he adored her.. Shakti Mohan herself was an angel..! how can anyone being so close to her not fall for her charm ? how can the person whose chemistry with her is more than best cannot fall for her ?? charlie was yet again getting close to him.. "money" "girl" and "talent" ! he wasn't over with the three yet.. no matter how many times his heart kept leaping higher and higher for 'shakti' he kept himself foccussed on the three once he belived he achived something he dreamt off! Being one of the finalists in DID wasn't an easy job!!

He soon engrossed himself with number of part time jobs and dance workshops that money was flowing towards him like no tomorrow ofcourse with his never ending hardwork. He felt it was time for the second.. the "girl" in his life..! for once or hundred times the only name flashed over his head was 'shakti'.. the moment he thinks of her , he gets lost in every little bits of her.. any woman other than his mother whom he has adored so much was shakti herself who is his 'best friend'.. the tag best friend and knowing that she is nothing less than an angel he kept himself feeling less worth for her.. the inferiority was all over his mind and entry of Charlie again in his life made him move towards her.. that's how he ended himself being in relationship with Charlie with end of DID season 2..

But as every other time life keeps surprising him!!!.. he was happier ? surprised ? shocked ? he didn't know what he felt at that moment when he realized he will be paired up opposite to shakti herself for his daily soap..!! can he ever forget the day ?? she had treated him in a Pub that nite.. only him and her.. with the time passing he loved and discovered more of her.. every intimate scenes they played wasn't just an action for him.. it was his feelings.. learning her life he also learned her dreams and wishes! How she wants to be an international dancer.. how she loves experimenting in her life.. she isn't the one who belives in a life of a girl which is restricted only to marriage.. she believes in being an entrepreneur! That's why he loves her even more.. this quality of her makes him fall for her again and again.. but being in relationship with Charlie he could neither confess his feelings to her nor for himself..! so the only way in expressing it was through his act.. D3 Dil Dosti Dance (daily soap) was his only means to be connected to her and to be with her more than usual times..

Once shakti left D3 the mere news had broken him down like no tomorrow.. He couldn't take it anymore when he had seen her with a guy on a date, that's what he assumed seeing the two having dinner in a restaurant when he was with Charlie.. He felt a pierce attack on his heart!!! Out of the frustration he had after seeing the two, he slowly started breaking contacts with shakti.. gradually their friendship just remained to the times were they had to meet due to parties.. but once his frustration and anger had reduced he had started moving to a depressing mood.. when his friends asked for the reason he couldn't utter a word.. he wanted to prove himself that he has moved on.. Charlie was the sweetest person he had ever met, his changing moods had never affected her.. he kept all his focus on his show and her.. even though he was incomplete from inside, he never showed it infront of anyone!

Its been a month ever since shakti had returned.. he had tried his best not to meet.. Charlie had smelled something wrong in him, he constantly declined saying nothing..! what would he say ?? that he is in love with shakti ? that charlie never meant anything more than a friend ?? he felt he used her for his shit of dreams..

His was a forbidden love! He believed it and it was true from all cases..! will miracles happen ?

***

sitting in his room [shooting] he glanced at the clock it read 11am.. already the spot boy called him 5 times for d shoot.. he sighed and checkd his cell..Another 15 missed calls from Charlie.. he was unsure of what to do..! in matter of second his whole world had gone upside down! He regretted the moment he decided to buy a ring for his mom..! If he didn't do it then he wouldn't be in the situation he was now!!

"Charlie pls yaar come soon!! Mei idar itna nervous ho rha hoon aur tu hai ki itna waqt laga rhi hai!!!" amar said with a pout to Charlie who was on the other side of the call!

"ohooo mei arhi hoon baby!! Okay fine temme where exactly you are!!" Charlie asked.

"mere gar ki garden pe.. jaldi aaa!!!"

Saying which he cut the call. Within few minutes Charlie was there.. she excitedly hugged him.. but he was way to tensed to respond..

"uff!! Baby whats the matter ??" Charlie asked touching his cheeks.. he had started getting irritated to her over caring nature but did he have any choice ??

"hmm wo na' mei wo.." kunwar startd stammering. Charlie raised her eye brows.. "fine see here..!" kunwar said while taking his hand out of his pocket..

"close your eyes" he commanded nervously' after few hesitations she agreed.

When she opened her eyes back she was surprised to see a finger ring his hand, neatly lying on the small pouch which was holding it.. the ring was so cute that any girl would be in 7^th heaven wearing it.. she looked at kunwar who was cautiously waiting for her reaction.. she happily hugged kunwar bringing him to a surprise and then grabbed the ring from his hand and started admiring it. she was all fond of that ring.. keeping beside his confusions he finally asked her how is it.. for which she jus kissed him on his cheeks and replied "baby its awsum awsum!!! I simply love it.. thank u so much baby!!! Muje nhi pata tha you would gimme such a big surprise.. im so happy baby.. im so happy.. and my answer is Yes!!"

Kunwar was in utter confusion with her words.. he pulled her out of the hug and stared at her with questioning eyes.. she blushed forwarding her finger towards him.. that's when he could put all pieces together and realize what he had just done! Hell he dint even had any thoughts of marriage.. and marrying Charlie and proposing her was the out of question! He dint know how many times he cursed himself on mind.. before he could react, Alisha vicky and few others gathered along with his brother ajay. He dint have any choice but to slip the ring on her finger.. the ring which he had happily bought for his mother was now dancing in charlie hands.. how ironic!

*knock knock*

There was a knock on the door. Being in completely unstable and tensed mind kunwar replied "kaha na arha hoon!! Samaj mei nhi atha kya ?" he bursted.

The door swung open "kunwar ??" came the voice which he was longing to hear since ages!! It had been complete 4 months ever since he heard from her.. she did mail him and also sent couple of messages.. but never got a chance of meeting her or talking to her in person.. he looked up at the instant to witness the confused shakti with a small giggle on her face eyeing his messy hair and his super cute expression.. he was awestruck to see her this gorgeous..! he mentally kept kicking himself to wake up from oogling over her.. how embarrassing isn't it ? ofcourse it is! He too knew it, but what can a brain do when heart is taking the control of eyes and expressions ??

He snapped off finally when shakti stood straight infront of him with glaring eyes..

"isn't it bad manners to stare blankly at someone when their complete concentration is on YOU!!"

Shakti raised her eye brow talking completely in foreign accent.. kunwar blinked twice before both of them burst out laughing..

They finally hugged each other and relaxed with initial talks..

"kunwar your so mean!! Muje apna best friend bulate ho aur muje hi nhi batay ki tumne Charlie ko propose kia!! How RUDE!!" she said poking his nose..

No matter how mature, how stylish, how big attitude she would have, she is always a kid!! She knows exactly how to change his mood!! He smiled and on realization of what question she had asked he kept mum.. he dint know answer himself why he had proposed her, did he propose her even ??

"kunwar ??" shakti shook him again..

"haan ? wo .. shakkku bhai!! Bas sab jaldi jaldi mei hogaya..!!!" saying so he got up from his seat. Giving finaly touches to hair he forwarded towards the door, he looked back at her..

"by the way tu aaj D3 ke set pe kya kar rhi hai ??" kunwar asked in confusion..

Shakti who was waiting for his reply to her question sighed on understanding that she wouldn't get an answer.. she looked up at him "palki ne bulaya.. kuch imp baat karni thi usse..!" she said smiling..

Kunwar's face lit up "tu D3 mei wapas aarhi hai ??" he asked excitedly like a five year old kid, shakti giggled continuing "no no.. im not kunwar!! Pata nhi palki ko kya baat krni thi lets see" she smiled and they both headed out together..

Palki and shakti had a small discussion, later shakti met the remaining cast and stayed along with them throughout the whole shoot..

Kunwar was extra active that day inspite of his tensions.. he was happy that he was finally seeing her..

***

Kunwar's parents had decided for an early engagement and marriage.. but kunwar some how persuaded saying about his career and D3 as the ongoing project.. he also gave reasons of his dreams.. but his parents finally managed to convince him for an engagement. Kunwar had no choice..! he thought his love for shakti can never be changed nor can it be won because he know they can never be together! So better to marry a girl who was crazy for him and loved him from the heart. Atleast that's what he believed.

29^th September the day before his engagement.. he was surrounded with number of boys and girls, his old friends cousins and relatiives.. no one left him alone.. all he wanted was a peace of mind!!!!

After the tiring day finally at night he thought he could have some rest just then shakti messaged him to meet her.. hence he left without a second thought where she had called him.

It was the sea side, hardly anyone would come to this part of Mumbai.. climate was cool and pleasant..

Kunwar waited for her to initiate.. first shakti wished him and then-

"kunwar you know pehle jab meine tumei dekha and I was like 'yeh kaha se gaya!!!' but once I saw you dance I understood jaha se b aya ho, yahan rehne ke liye hi aya hai..! you know I love the way you work hard.!! Aaj tak tumne jo kuch b paya hai sab idar aake hi achive kia hua hai.. and I am proud to say your my best friend..!!!" she turned to him smiled and hugged him.

After some time she continued breaking the hug she said " im an ambitious girl, I have had few boy friends, lekin kabhi kisi ke liye crazy nhi hui hoon.. all that was just like little more than friendship.. kabhi kuch work nhi hua toh kabhi koi pasand nhi aya.. later in pyaar wyaar ko gud bye bolke apne dreams par focus kia.."

She paused and looked at him. he was not sure why she was saying all this..!

"kunwar I don't know when exactly I fell in love with you.."

He was silent!! He seriously needed to suicide himself to prove that this wasn't a dream!! He was hearing all this for real!!!

She laughed nervously at her fate and said "lekin I know I know you never had such feelings for me.. I know ki tum Charlie se pyaar karte ho! Soch rhe ho ki yeh sab mein tuje is waqt aise kyu bata rhi hoon ? I couldn't control it kunwar!! I couldn't hold it back.. and hey don't worry mei koi emotional fool nhi hoon jisse apna pyaar nhi mila toh mar jaongi! Pulease!!!! I am not like that!! Bas yeh gham toh zaroor rahega.. but I am happy for you.. and I am sure.. umm shayad I may move on from you ? you knw I even tried dating a few.. lekin koi set nhi hua.. but not to worry I will surely move on kunwar!! Mere sapne, my career will help me get over this I think.. so tumei koi tension lene ke zaroorat nhi hai.. I could have kept all this to myself and wish you for your marriage lekin aisa karne se I am cheating on our friendship.. we had promised each other right ki hum humesha truthful rahenge ? toh mei yeh kaise thod skti hoon ?!"

Kunwar was still holding his breath.. her back was facing him.. he mentally slapped him infinite times thinking of what he was doing all this f**king while!! He could have dared to tell her something! Being a guy he had failed in the courage which being a girl could initialize..

"kunwar please jaldi se kuch boldo!! Warna rone lagoongi haan!!! And agar tumei yeh friendship yahi thodna hai toh.. *pause* its its fine with me.. I I can understand..!!"

She turned towards him "shaks.. I .. mei.. wo " he was stammering.. she hugged him and shed few tears.. but he dint reciprocate the hug.. he couldn't understand what exactly was going on.. but before he could say anything she was gone..!!!!

And he may not regret for not telling her his feelings but he will surely regret for letting her go like this..! sitting in his car rewinding everything what happend moments ago he stared blankly at the 'engagement invitation' card which was lying on the dashboard..
