THE WRAP-UP PARTY(AMMYLOVESMAYUR)

The show had finally ended and we were going to have a wrap up party just so that we could be with the whole team and enjoy because none of us knew what was going to happen next-whether we would have time to catch up with each other later or not. I was all dressed in a red t-shirt and black jeans. I did not feel like dressing up too much because I was pretty sad that the show had ended and I had ended up crying a couple of times also.

As I picked up my car keys, my eyes fell on the framed photograph on my dresser. It was a picture of the whole MJHT gang-me, Rati, Mohit, Sanaya, Abhishek, Jas and Navina. It had been taken when we had just started the show. We all had wide smiles on our faces and the eagerness to work hard and make our show a success was well evident in our expressions. We had had great times together and become really close. That is why it hurt so much now. But I knew I would keep in touch with all my friends, wherever I may be. I smiled and picked up my cell phone. I dialled her number, eager to hear her voice though we had just talked half an hour before.

Rati picked on the first ring. "Hi."

"Hey jaan," I said.

"Ready to go to the party and rock?" she asked, excitement lacing her words.

"Ready to go? Yeah. Ready to rock? I don't think so," I said, sadness evident in my tone.

"Arjun, you have to be strong," Rati said.

A hint of sadness had cropped up in her tone as well. She had been in an emotional state for the past three days but had tried her best to hide her tears from everyone, including me. We were both emotionally attached to this show and she knew how much it was hurting me to let go. So she had decided to be strong for both of us. But I knew her well and had seen the tears she never let fall even once. She was a strong lady, my love.

"I know I have to be strong but I can't help it," I said.

I heard her sigh. I knew it was hard for her as well so I decided not to press the issue. Instead I asked, "Should I come to pick you up?"

She must have been relieved at the topic change because her reply was brighter. "No, I will manage. See you at the party."

"Love you," I said, smiling.

"Love you too," she said, before she hung up.

We arrived simultaneously at the party and parked our cars next to each others. She ran into my arms for a hug the moment I was out of the car and I hugged her back tight, drawing comfort from the feel of her in my arms. There was no one in the parking lot at that moment and, taking advantage of that, I dropped a quick peck on her lips. She smiled and gave me a peck on my cheek before holding my hand and pulling me inside the club.

The moment we entered the club, she left my hand. The press was there and we had decided not to give them something to talk about like it had always been ever since we started dating. No one in our team knew we were dating except for Navina and Jas. Navina had by mistake activated a voice message I had left on Rati's phone once. It had been a very lover-like message and of course, Navina had immediately guessed and confronted the two of us to let out the truth. We had told her and she had promised not to breath a word to anyone.

Jas had come across Rati holding my picture to her heart whilst sleeping when they had been on a holiday and had called me up immediately to ask me what was going on. At that time, Rati and I had had an argument and the fact that she was missing me the same way I was, had made me make an immediate move to patch things up.

Abhishek, Mohit and Sanaya had a hint but were not sure of it. And neither of us confirmed it nor denied it. It was somehow fun, like playing a game of hide and seek. Of course I was teased quite a bit on her, especially when she was dressed up and I could not take my eyes off her. Like now. She had worn a simple, but pretty, red dress that emphasized her figure and ended just above her knees. She had worn no accessories except for a pair of simple earrings and her beautiful long hair was tied in a ponytail. She had taken no special effort on her dressing, yet she was the most beautiful woman around in my eyes.

She must have felt my eyes on her because she looked at me and, seeing appreciation in my eyes, smiled. She looked down shyly and I smiled. Yes, she was definitely the most beautiful and she was all mine.

Just then Navina came over to greet us. "Hey guys." She hugged Rati and then me, and whispered, "Stop looking at her like you want to eat her. There is still a whole party to be enjoyed. Control!"

I laughed and Rati looked questioningly at us. Navina gave her an i-will-tell-you-later look and pulled her away to the dance floor.

Rati turned to look at me one last time before she was engulfed in the group that Navina had emerged from a while back.

I smiled and headed towards a colleague of mine who was standing with our producer.

It had been an hour and I had not done anything more than dance a bit and greet people. From where I was standing, I could see Rati dancing like mad. She loved dancing and she was fully enjoying herself. Suddenly an idea struck me. I purposely ventured near a press reporter who immediately started interviewing me.

"I will answer your questions. Let me call my co-star first. Is that okay?" I asked.

She quickly nodded and I went over to where Rati was dancing.

She saw me and pulled me over to dance with her. I did a few steps before holding her hand and pulling her away with me and out of the crowd. "There is a reporter who wants to interview us. Let's go," I said.

"Oh okay," she said.

We gave an interview and we both used that short time together to be as close to each other as we could and to look at each other as much as possible. As soon as we finished with the first reporter, a reporter from IF came over and wanted to interview us. We both agreed. She asked us a few questions about what we were feeling about the ending of the show and what were our future projects going to be. Then she asked us what we would be doing now that the show was over. I told her I was going to Shirdi. Rati had told me she was planning to go somewhere and had been quite secretive about the destination but now she revealed it. She was going to Goa and Bangkok. I could not believe my ears. I just controlled my stunned expression and looked at her. She was going to visit the two destinations that were my favourite. Wow!

The moment the interview was over, I turned to her. "You did not tell me you were planning to go to Goa and Bangkok. Why?!"

She smiled and was about to say something when Jas popped up out of God-knows-where and said, "Later, Arjun. She is needed elsewhere." He pulled Rati away before I could say anything more. This was ridiculous!! I could not talk to my girlfriend in peace even for a minute!! I had to do something!!

Finally I got my chance! A slow song started playing and there was still a crowd around where Rati was dancing. I slipped inside the crowd and went to her. She was just about to leave the crowd when I got hold of her hand and pulled her close to me. She was surprised but when she saw it was me, she relaxed. I put my arms round her waist and hers went round my neck. I pulled her closer to me and we started swaying slowly to the music. I leaned my forehead on hers and closed my eyes the same time that she did. After a while I opened them only to see her smiling.

"Why smiling all of a sudden?" I whispered.

"Nothing. It just feels great being held like this by you. It has been ages since we danced like this. And I feel like I could stay like this forever," she said, her smile getting wider and her cheeks turning slightly red.

I smiled and tightened my grip on her waist, pulling her even closer in the process, until we were joined from torso to knees. She gasped and looked up at me. I winked and just as I bent to give her a peck on her cheek, I saw Jas waving at me like crazy. I raised my brows in question and he pointed to a reporter who was lurking around nearby, just about to catch sight of Rati and me like this. I pulled away immediately and Rati looked up at me questioningly. I just nodded in the direction of the reporter. She turned and understood the reason I had pulled away. I sent a thumbs-up to Jas and moved away completely.

I went to the bar and ordered a soft drink. What I wouldn't do to spend some time alone with Rati, uninterrupted?! We would not be meeting as much from tomorrow. I would really miss spending time with her like I used to on the sets. We never used to talk much when we were around people but at least we could see each other and shoot scenes together. I loved the close romantic scenes we used to do together because I would manage to improvise and make it a real scene and Rati would understand what I was up to and play along. Nobody ever suspected that beneath our acting it was all quite real for both of us. I remembered the scene we had enacted where Nupur thought she had forgotten some important occasion and kept pestering Mayank to remind her and all Mayank had to do was murmur 'No' and cuddle up to Nupur. I remembered the kiss on the cheek I had improvised, and the cuddles; only Rati could tell how closely I was cuddled up to her. I had put my arm round her waist and held her close. We had both really enjoyed and yet no one could tell that it was something more than acting.

When we had shot the delivery scene and I held the babies in my hand, I had felt something go through me. I could totally imagine such a scene in reality with me handing over our baby to Rati. The image flashed in my head and made me smile. But now there would be no more of such scenes. The thought that I would not be spending time with Rati as I used to brought tears to my eyes. I wished the party would end early so I could leave.

I roamed around for a while, talking to friends and dancing a bit but I quickly got bored. Just then Rati came over to where I was standing talking to Abhishek.

"Hey guys. I am heading home so just came to say bye," she said.

"So soon? It is just midnight, Rati," Abhishek said.

"Nah. I should get going. It is pretty late and I am really tired. Finally, I will get to sleep to my heart's content." She laughed. "So, see you guys." She hugged Abhishek and then me. I held her for longer than was necessary. I felt her hands tighten on my t-shirt before she pulled away from the hug. She murmured a Bye and walked away fast. She raised her hand to her eye as if to wipe a tear off. She stopped a few more times to wish other people good bye and then she left.

Abhishek had noticed my eyes following Rati. "Hmm. Seems you will miss her the most out of all of us, right?" He said teasingly.

"Yeah I will miss her. She was my co-star. Definitely will miss her," I said, trying to hide my sadness.

"I see. Actually I see more than you think I do. But I would not like to comment on that. And if what I am thinking is true, then I would advise you to wait for a while longer before leaving the party as well," he said.

I looked up shocked. He seemed to know that I was thinking of going after Rati. Abhishek laughed at my reaction. "Dude, I know both of you very well. Especially her. And I can tell she has never looked at any other guy the way she looks at you. And never fought with anyone the way she fights with you. So that counts for something, doesn't it?" He winked.

I smiled. We were a unique couple, I knew. And here was someone else who knew about us also. But I did not mind, because I trusted him and I knew he would never say anything to anyone. I clapped him on his back. "You seem to have become very perceptive these days. Care to tell me how and why?"

We both laughed and carried on fooling around for another half an hour after which I decided I should leave. I wanted to spend all the time I could with Rati. I wonder if she would be awake. I had a feeling she would. I quickly bid everyone bye. More hugs, more tears, more promises to keep in touch. Then I was finally free to go. I almost ran to my car in a bid to move out before anyone else halted me and engaged me in a conversation I was sure not to concentrate on. I drove as fast as I could and finally reached her place.

The lights were on inside. Great! She was awake! I wondered what she would be doing. I rang the bell and waited. It was quite a while before I heard her footsteps nearing the door. She probably looked through the peephole and saw me because the door was thrown open immediately.

"Arjun!! What on Earth are you doing here at this time?!!" She said, shock written all over her face.

"Wow, darling. What a greeting!" I said, laughing lightly. She was in the same red dress that she had worn to the party but now her hair was open and flowing around her shoulders. She was barefoot and her earrings were missing. I noticed her eyes were slightly red. She had been crying. I walked inside and she shut the door and locked it.

I held out a bouquet of red roses that I had bought for her earlier to give to her in the party but decided against it. She smiled and took them. I got a short side-hug as thanks before she pulled me inside the living room. Her laptop was switched on and placed on the coffee table. There was a video paused on the screen. She left me there and went to the kitchen, to place the roses in a vase, I guess. I went closer to the laptop and realized she was watching the Pehli Baar Mohabbat video of ours. The unedited version. Just then she came into the living room and saw me looking at the laptop. She quickly came and minimized the video. Her laptop wallpaper was a picture of the two of us hugging each other close and smiling at the camera. It was a picture we had taken at a friend's party recently. She had been wearing a blue top and skirt and I had worn a blue shirt and jeans. It had been an accidental match but all our friends had teased us about planning to match our clothes that whole evening. It was a beautiful picture.

I smiled. "Why did you minimize that video? I want to watch it also," I said.

She blushed, sat down on the sofa and pulled me down next to her. "You are not watching that video with me."

"And why is that, if I may ask?"

"You will get up to your tricks and naughtiness if you watch it when I am around you," she said. We both laughed.

"Well, honey, I can do that even without watching the video," I said and to prove my point, pulled her onto my lap and held her there, tightly.

"Okay, okay. Now let go of me and tell me what you want. Coffee, tea, juice," she said.

I shook my head. "I just want you close to me. I am missing you already."

She put her hands on my face and leaned her forehead on mine. "Me too."

We stayed like that for a while and I suddenly felt something fall on my arm, which was still around her waist. I looked down and saw a tear. She was crying. I lifted my arms from around her waist and pulled her head up. Tears were swimming in her eyes. Another one fell out and I felt a pain go through me. I could not bear her tears. I wiped them off with my thumbs and kissed her eyes lightly.

She looked at me, her eyes still wet. "I love you Arjun. More than you will ever know," she whispered, before she threw her arms around my neck and hugged me tight. "I fight a lot with you and argue for every small issue. But that does not mean I don't love you. I do and a lot. You can't even imagine how much. Every time we fight and don't talk to each other, I know it hurts you, but it hurts me more. Because your smile lights up my life and I can't imagine not seeing it every single day like I have been used to seeing it. You know ever since I left the show earlier, I have realized what it feels like not to have you around. Those two months were the worst of my life. We had fought; we were not meeting each other. I thank God every single day that Jas found me sleeping with your pic and called you up. Because I know our egos would not have allowed us to call the other first. We would always have waited for each other to go first and never have gotten anywhere. You have no idea how happy I was when I saw your name flash on my phone screen the next day when you called me up. I know I sounded quite rude when I talked to you but that was just to prevent myself from blasting you for getting in touch so late. I loved it when you kept your calm as you usually do and in a loving, but firm tone, stated that you wanted to meet me immediately I was back in town. I know I have hurt you many-a-times but I still love you and when we get back together after every fight, it makes me realize I love you more and I am lucky to have you in my life. I really love you."

I could not see her face as she said this but I knew she was crying again and I pulled her back in my arms. Sure enough she was crying. I wiped the tears off again and smiled. "You had soooo much to tell me? And such beautiful and sweet stuff. If I knew I was going to get to know all this, I would have come over earlier. I wasted my time there at the party for nothing." I made a disappointed face and she laughed lightly.

"Yeah, that is my girl. Promise me that you will always keep smiling, Rati. Because I can never see your tears. Every tear that falls makes me feel like a knife is slashing at my heart." She winced when I said that. "Yeah, it hurts to think about it also, right? So imagine, that is what I feel when I see those tears. You have a gorgeous smile, baby. Always keep it there on your face. It makes you look even more gorgeous. It lights up your face'and it was one of the features of yours that captured my attention when I first saw you at that party long ago. When we first met, remember? You had laughed at something a friend had said and I had wondered whose laugh was that beautiful; just like the tinkling of bells. I had turned around and there you were, smiling away to glory. And I remember thinking, 'Wow! That is a hell of a smile!' And my heart had automatically reacted by beating faster. I had told our host to introduce us and I even got your number. But I did not know how you would react to being contacted by someone you had met barely for five minutes. Imagine my surprise when we landed Mayank and Nupur's roles in MJHT. I could not stop smiling that day, you know."

"Really?! Arjun, you never told me all this before. Talk about destiny," Rati said. "But why didn't you tell me all this before today?"

"Don't know, darling. Never felt like it was that important. Today I felt you should know, so I said it."

She smiled and put her head on my chest. I caressed her hair lightly. We stayed that way for sometime, none of us saying anything.

Suddenly, she sat up. "Let us watch some videos of ours. I have all our episodes and off screen interviews also."

She moved off my lap, took the laptop from the coffee table and put it on her lap, before cuddling into me. I smiled at her actions. I felt lucky to have her and silently thanked God for bringing her into my life.

She asked me what video I wanted to watch first and I told her I would be okay with anything as long as it featured the two of us. She laughed lightly and switched on the episode that had the Khuda Jaane sequence in it. We watched it and remembered times spent together. Mayank had fallen in love with Nupur and Arjun had fallen in love with Rati. Khuda Jaane had been a sort of milestone in our lives, both onscreen and off. We watched a few more videos and offscreen interviews.

After watching the Telly Tadka interview where we had answered all our fans' questions, I gasped. "We were that obvious, Rati? I never imagined."

"Of course, Arjun. When I watched this interview the first time, I felt the same way. It is good you weren't around me the time I watched it. I would have hit you for staring at me so much during the interview." She laughed.

"Yeah, right! And what about you, sitting so close to me like that? You could not have sat a bit further?" I said, trying to hide my laughter.

"Eh, Hello, Mister! I was sitting far, okay! You were the one who kept hugging me and pulling me close and moving me almost to the edge of the bunk, such that I could not move any further away from you without a risk of toppling over to the floor," she said, indignantly.

I burst out laughing and hugged her closer to me. Then she also started laughing.

"Okay now let us watch the Pehli Baar Mohabbat video. We have never watched it together," I said, mischievously.

"Arjun, why do you love that video so much?" She asked, trying not to look at me.

"For obvious reasons, honey," I teased.

She blushed hard and just shook her head before starting the video.

Everything about that scene was perfect and beautiful. The location, the music, the situation, the feelings and us. It was one of those scenes where we were too involved into the scene to think as Mayank and Nupur. There were only two people in that scene-Arjun and Rati. All the emotions and reactions to each other's closeness had been very real. That was another reason that made me love that scene even more. I knew Rati loved it also, but she always avoided mentioning or talking about it. I turned to look at her. She was looking intently at the screen. Just before the falling-on-hay scene came up, I paused the video with a flick of my fingertip. Rati looked at me with a questioning look on her face. I took the laptop and placed it on the coffee table. Then I took her hands in mine and said, "I have truly loved for the first and the last time. I have truly loved you. Would you be kind enough to dance to this song with me and relive those special moments with me?"

She smiled and nodded then placed her hands in mine. I played the video and pulled her up with me as I stood. We moved to the centre of the room and I pulled her into my arms. Her hands were on my shoulder and mine around her waist. We were looking into each other's eyes and we could not stop smiling. As the song played, I twirled her and turned her in sync with the music then pulled her to me in a way that her back was touching my chest. My arms were around her waist and holding her arms as well. We swayed to the music, letting it take us away on the tide of love. We could both feel our love for each other swirling around us, like a mist. We never wanted to stop.

The effect of our closeness to each other was evident; our heartbeats were faster and I could feel shivers going through Rati. Her skin was flushed. I bent my head and planted a small kiss on her shoulder. She gasped and trembled. I turned her in my arms and she looked down shyly. I bent again and placed a kiss on her neck; this time it was a longer one. I felt her tremble again and her hands clutched my t-shirt tightly. I felt her nails digging into my chest. Those would definitely cause marks, I thought. Then an idea struck me and I bit her neck. She shivered violently. I sucked her skin enough to leave a love bite. I had no idea our hearts could beat at a faster pace than they already were, but apparently they could because I felt the rhythm of the heart beats increase. Rati threaded her fingers through my hair and pulled my head up. I looked up at her. Before I could say anything, she pulled my head down and pressed her lips to mine. I had kissed her before, but tonight something was different. It all felt more meaningful than it ever had before. Like there was a deeper depth to every moment we were spending together. I did not know what it was so I just decided to let it go for the moment. As it was, I was finding it hard to think about anything apart from the lady I loved when she was pressing herself to me like this. I tightened my arms further and she moaned lightly against my lips. I never wanted to let go of her. Her nails dug into my back conveying the extent of her passion to me. I dug my fingers into her waist and back, conveying to her that I felt the same way she did.

We pulled back after a while, trying to catch our breath. I was not ready to let go of her yet so I held her close and nibbled lightly on her lower lip. Our lips kept brushing against each other in the process and I could feel her smile. It made me smile. The minx was enjoying this. I moved my head to her neck once again and placed small kisses there. Suddenly I felt her lips moving on my neck. It stunned me enough to stop. She was doing the same thing I had been doing to her. And it felt great. The touch of her lips on my neck was driving me crazy but I just held her tight and let her do as she wished. She planted kisses on my throat and jaw and then a sudden one on my lips, before she hugged me tight. She had never been this forward before and I realized that today we had indeed moved ahead in our relationship. Our love ran deeper than just physical proximity so I had never minded when she had been slow to progress in that aspect. I knew she needed time and I was ready to give her all the time she wanted because I knew she would let me know when she was ready. And I had been right! Today was that time. I planted a kiss on her hair and held her close. It felt more than marvelous to just stand here with her in my arms. I could stay like this forever and never complain, as long as she was with me. Gosh, I loved this lady!!

Forever! That reminded me to look at the time. It was almost 3 a.m. Way too late to be here. I gently pulled back from the hug. Rati was still so shy that she looked everywhere but at me. That made me smile.

"Honey, please look up, will you?" I said.

She looked up after a moment. I smiled. "As much as I hate to do this, I have to tell you that it is almost 3 a.m. and I have to leave."

Her smile faded slightly and that alarmed me. "What happened? Is something wrong?"

"Arjun, I need a favour from you. Please?" She asked softly.

"Baby, why are you asking? Just order, the way you normally do," I said and laughed.

That made her smile but she still sounded unsure when she said, "Arjun, please stay back with me tonight. I want to spend all the time I can with you. I know you are travelling tomorrow but I am afraid of when I will get to see you next."

"That is it?! That was what was making you so unsure?! I thought it would be something serious. Thank God!! And, jaan, I am planning to spend my whole life with you, so what are a few hours?" I said.

I did not say it aloud but my happiness knew no bounds at that moment. I was going to spend a whole night with the love of my life, doing nothing else but discussing, joking, enjoying and relishing each moment.

She smiled at my words and said a soft thank you before giving me a light kiss on my cheek. I kissed her on her forehead then moved away and went to the coffee table to switch off her laptop. Then I carried her in my arms and took her to her bedroom. She freshened up and changed into her pjs and we both lay down next to each other on her bed, talking and joking about any and every other issue that struck our fancy. We finally fell asleep with her head on my chest and my arms around her.

When I woke up, it was barely past 6 a.m. Rati was still sleeping. She had a slight smile on her face and she looked no less than an angel, even while sleeping. I could not help myself and captured a few pics of hers in my phone. I did not want to wake her up and disturb her sleep so I just got a pen and paper and scribbled her a small note before I quietly left.

'Hey Angel. Sorry I left without waking you up. Just that you were sleeping so soundly and I did not want to disrupt your beauty sleep. I will never forget last night. Thank you for being the person you are and I can not thank God enough for bringing you into my life. You complete me, darling. I am nothing without you. So please never leave my side, okay? And I hope you are coming to see me off tonight. I can't leave without seeing your face at least once because that will be the memory I will carry in my heart before we meet again in Goa :) Did I just mention Goa? I guess I did. It was supposed to be a surprise for you but I just can not be that patient to let it remain a surprise. I was actually also planning to go to Goa and Bangkok, I was just not sure of my plans. But after you mentioned it in the interview that those were the places you planned to visit, my plans got confirmed. What better way to spend my holidays than with the woman I love at my two fav destinations? Right? Anyways I have to leave now. See you soon, baby :) Love you always, Jun:)'
