Part 6:-
Flashback:-
It was her birthday and Viraf had just wished her. He had planned some surprise for her on the sets of EBI. "Guys all set?" he asked Dishank. His role had gotten over in the show by then but he was there because of a special request from Viraf. Not only Dishank, Gauri, Rakeshji, Nidhi, Geeta, Shreshth and almost everyone were there.
"Yes."
"Hunar kahan hai?"
"She must be coming."
He dialed a number and after a few rings, it was picked up. "Hey Saba kahan ho tum?"
"I am sorry I am not able to come today."
"Arre why? You know na it's Chhavi's birthday?"
"So what? You know na we never get along very well."
"Can't you forget it just for today?"
"Sorry dude but I am getting a call from one of my friends. Call you later." Saying this she disconnected the call.
"Very strange." He was surprised but knowing well that both are not on very good terms with each other it didn't matter to him.
Chhavi was informed that Viraf had gotten hurt in his leg and she rushed to his makeup room. She pushed the door open and all the people who were present there echoed, "Surpriseee..."
"Happy birthday to you..
Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday dear Chhavi..
Happy birthday to you...
"Toh it was all a plan?" she asked smiling.
"Of course." And all circled her and wished her happy birthday. She was so surprised to see her previous team there. She never expected it. She was happy when someone tapped her shoulder and she turned.
"Happy birthday Chhavi..." And that person hugged Chhavi and gave a kiss on her cheek.
Everyone there was surprised and they paused for some time. Chhavi found the silence a bit uncomfortable, so removing herself from that person's hug, she welcomed him there. "Thank u Pracheen." (I think you guys must have guessed by now that it's Pracheen and if not then it's pakka a shock or surprise for them)
"I knew you would be happy to see me here." He winked at her.
"Yes I am." She said smiling and she introduced everyone to Pracheen. "Hey everyone meet my sweet team aka my family now here is my good friend Pracheen."
Everyone said, "Hello Pracheen." In unison except a man who was watching them from a far end and getting irritated to see him here. He was highly angry with the man who came here and the way he hugged her and kissed her made him even more uncomfortable.
"Kya soch raha hai?" Sodhiji interrupted him.
"Kuch nahi. Main kya sochunga?"
"Oye dekh mere saamne na acting to mat kariyo. Mujhe pata hota hai kaun kab acting kar raha hai aur kaun kab serious hai." He said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Oye nahi Sodhi jee mainu ki hua hai jo tavde se acting kariyega assi." He said mimicking.
"Puttar tera teacher hoon main samjha. Just wait dekh main kya karta hoon." And Sodhiji went straight to Chhavi. "To ab poochna nahi chahegi ki kis ne ye surprise plan kiya hai tere liye?"
"Poochne ki jaroorat hi nahi hai Sodhiji." And she tried to search for him but he was busy with something and when she located him he was coming to her. People moved aside and he was carrying a big dark chocolate cake. She just smiled. Coming closer to her, he sang.
Happy birthday to dear Chhavi
Happy birthday to you
Chhavi was still smiling and looking at him adoringly which got noticed by Pracheen and he didn't like that.
"Happy birthday Chhavi." He said and hugged her. She too hugged him back. "Kaisa laga mera surprise?"
"That was really sweet but ek baat to hai."
"Kya?"
"Bahut bura gaate ho." And both laughed.
"Tum to gaa leti ho na to mujhe waise bhi gaane ki jaroorat nahi hai."
"Woh to mera hai na, why don't you try to learn it?"
"Right now I am happy with EBI."
"What about after it?"
"Now I just don't want to think about it and ye sab chhodo pehle chalo cut the cake." Now it was the time to cut the cake and she finally cut the cake after blowing the candles. Everyone once again sang Happy Birthday for her and after cutting the cake first she fed the piece to Sodhiji, then Gauri and Rakeshji and now it was time to feed the cake to Viraf. Before feeding him the cake, she intentionally applied the cream on his face.
"Chhavi ki bacchi." And the next was just Tom and Jerry chase which continued for a while. Soon he captured her and applied some cake over her face. Everyone laughed and Pracheen was getting more and more irritated.
"Huuu ye kya mera poora face kharab kar dia." She cried dramatically.
"Accha to mere face pe jab lagaya tha tab nahi socha main kaisa lag raha hoon." He said tickling her.
"Oh Viraf chhodo mujhe gudgudi ho rahi hai." And she laughed her heart out.
"No ways." And he tickled her more. Pracheen who was highly pissed off and irritated seeing this view and went to Chhavi and disturbed their cute game.
"I am sorry to disturb you Chhavi, I like it but I have to tell you something really important."
They stopped and Viraf excused himself. "I will meet you in some time." And he left.
Chhavi turned to Pracheen and said, "What happened, is there any problem?"
"No no problem at all but I think we should not talk here. Can you come out with me?"
Chhavi thought for a moment and said, "It's not possible now Pracheen. Actually my shift of the shoot is still left. Abhi to it's not possible. I can go with you some other time."
"But whatever I wanted to tell you is important and today's occasion is just perfect for it."
"Aisa bhi kya hai?" she was confused.
Pracheen knelt on his knees, "Chhavi I wanted to make it special for both of us but today is your birthday and no other day can be more special than this for you so I wanted to tell you..." he paused sensing some stiffness in her body, "I love you."
Chhavi was speechless for a moment and he kissed her hand and went closer to her. "I know you love me too and I have seen always seen it in your eyes." And moving a bit closer to her, he gently pasted his lips over hers.
"Chhavi..." It was Viraf who came there with his mobile in his hand calling her name and the next moment he was frozen to see that scenario in front of him. His voice was lost and his body shivered. Chhavi had heard her name and she pushed Pracheen back. "Viraf..." And in a sudden fraction of time, Viraf left the place saying, " I am sorry."
Now it was time for Chhavi's anger. She was fuming at Pracheen, "How...how dare you kiss me?"
"But Chhavi...I thought you love me as well."
"How and in which way you think I love you? Did you wait for my response when you said I love you? It's really disgusting how you even kissed me without... " She almost had tears in her eyes.
"I am really sorry Chhavi but please don't cry." He said trying to come closer to her but she held up a hand to stop him.
"Don't even try to come closer to me." She
warned him.
"Ok I will not but please don't cry baba."
"I just don't want to talk to you right now...no I think not only now but also not even later."
"At least listen to me once what I wanted to say."
"Is there anything left to say?"
"Yes there is...you know every time when you care for me, you showed you love me. The way you give me company when I am in need you showed me and proved to me that you love me."
"It means Vinny must have been in love with you as well." She said cleaning her eyes and keeping her hands across her chest, anger was still evident in her eyes.
"You know she is engaged to Dheeraj na so how is that possible?"
"Toh mere case mein if you feel I am single so I am ready to mingle na?" she asked furiously.
"Chhavi tum mujhe galat samajh rahi ho. I really love you a lot and want you to be part of my life."
Her rage knew no bounds now, "Ho gaya..keh chuke jo kehna tha. Now listen to my answer. I just like you as my friend nothing more than that. And more than that you tried to ki..." She paused for a few seconds having tears in her eyes which she stopped not wanting herself to be weak in front of him. "Now just leave and get lost from here."
"But Chhavi I am here for you on your special day."
"You have already made my day very special. So please leave for me."
"Chhavi but..." But he stopped in between seeing Chhavi's piercing gaze. He left from there silently. Someone was watching them and smiled. That person dialed a number, "Aap ka kaam ho gaya."
Another person was smiling now, "Thank you. Tum nahi jaanti tum ne mere liye kya kiya hai."
"It's ok. Itna to aap ke liye kar hi sakti hoon. After all I know how much you love him aur aap ke pyaar ko aap tak to pahucha hi sakte hain."
Chhavi was damn angry over Pracheen the whole day and Viraf was gloomy. They didn't even talk for rest of the day and when everyone wanted party from her, she said she would give the party at any holiday as she was damn tired today.
After a few days, he used to watch her many times every day between the shots. Their relationship which used to be very close had now become very formal, just a hi and bye and in the scenes she was just doing her work and not even enjoying Hunar's company. One day after shooting for her part, she was unnaturally silent and it was not letting him relax. Finally Viraf thought about talking to her. He went to Chhavi and asked in a normal tone, not wanting to show his real emotions.
"You fine?"
She looked at him and replied coldly, "Yes I am fine."
"I am sorry to have disturbed you guys there. Actually I was talking to mom and she said to wish you, so I brought my phone to you." He reasoned to her about his sudden arrival.
"It's ok Viraf and why would you be sorry? I should be sorry."
He was surprised, "Why?..Oh you mean you didn't want anyone to know about your and Pracheen's relationship?"
She stared at him, "Who would want that?"
'Is ka matlab you are in a relationship with Pracheen and my mind is right. But still my heart says it's not true and it can't be true. I think still woh chahe jo bhi kare mujhe us ko ek baar to Pracheen ke bare mein warn karna hi chahiye as I know.' He thought, "I know no body will like it." After a pause he said, "Mujhe tum se kuch kehna tha."
"You too want to say something." She said curtly.
Viraf was confused about her dry behavior that why all of a sudden she was behaving so rudely with him. "Chhavi koi problem hai toh you can share it with me."
She realized her mistake of behaving so coldly with him, "Nops I don't have any problem. You tell me what you want to say?"
He sighed, "Chhavi don't take it otherwise but I want to tell you that your special friend Pracheen is not a right guy for you. If you have known about his past you should know that which type of guy he is and his past break ups show he is just a womanizer..." He looked at her and found her really cold, "I am sorry for that but being your friend I tried my best to know about him and found this piece of information."
"Anything else?"
"Chhavi...I know you will not like it but please don't spoil your life because of him."
Chhavi fell silent for a few minutes and closed her eyes, "I am thankful to you Viraf that you told me everything whatever you wanted to say but I am now sensible enough to handle the things which are happening with me."
Viraf was offended, "I know you are a lot more sensible than me but it was my duty to tell you about it."
"I think your duty of concern about me is done and so now don't worry about me. I can take care of myself." That curt reply hurt him.
"I will try my best to mind my own business now." Saying this, he left.
Flashback over
"Viraf..." Freddy brought him back him to his real world. "Kya sochne laga tu? Chhavi ko cake nahi lagayega kya?" Now Viraf realized what he was going to do.
"No Viraf please no..." she said trying her best to stop him.
"NO ways..." And in the next moment, he was just applying some cream over her face and once again that touch brought the tingling sensation in their bodies. His fingers just brushed her smooth cheeks slowly and she felt it for the first time something different in this touch. She closed her eyes as a reflex action just to feel it. Freddy smiled seeing them lost in their world.
"Dekh rahi hai." He said to Vahbiz.
"Haan., they are really cute and lost forgetting about everyone."
"But is tarah se PDA in dono ko bhaari padh jayega. Being a celeb you must think before you act." Freddy said thoughtfully.
"Right. Make them aware about their surroundings."
Freddy interrupted them, "Viraf I think it's now everyone's turn to wish you." And both came out of their dreamland.
"You are looking really cute with this cream applied on your face." Freddy said to Chhavi.
"Yeah I know I look damn cute with this cake all over my face." She said mimicking.
Everyone laughed as well as Chhavi and she excused herself. Viraf was giving her an adorable look like an idiot.
"Oye bus kar."
"Kya?" he asked him.
"Don't stare at her like this."
"Why?"
"Sab ko pata chal jayega."
"To pata chal jaane de."
"Abe pagal hai kya? Jo ladki ek chote se article se itna pareshaan ho jati hai us ko kaisa lagega until she herself realizes her feelings for you."
"Point..." Viraf said.
"Main hamesha point ki hi baat karta hoon."
"Toh?"
"Control yourself first and go and clean your face." But before he could go, an unpleasant voice stopped him .
"Happy Birthday my darling Viraf.." And before he could respond, he was captured in a solid hug from that person.
