Part 12:-He was the only man who she had been watching from the last hour.
"Chhavi...tum yahan?" he asked.
"Haan...main. Kyun main yahan nahi aa sakti?" she said with attitude while still hanging in his arms.
"Aa sakti ho, kyun nahi aa sakti ho."
"Toh?"
"Nothing." And he made her stand.
"Tum to yahan bada enjoy kar rahe ho na?" she asked swinging and he grabbed her again.
"Excuse me."
"Excused."
"Tum yeh kya keh rahi ho?"
She had a smile on her face and said, "Don't you get it what I am saying?"
"No I am not getting it."
"Yeah obviously, why will you get it now? Things have changed between us na." she said.
"Woh sab tum ne hi to badla hai na?" he said as if asking her
"Maine badla hai? Maine nahi badla hai. Tum ne jaan boojh kar apni party mein us insaan ko bulaya jis ko main zara bhi pasand nahi karti aur tum keh rahe ho maine badla hai sab?" she said still in that position. Suddenly someone hit them and both fell down. Now he was on top of her and they were still lost in each other's eyes and she continued, "Bolo kyun bulaya us ko?"
"Chhavi we should get up first?" he tried to get up but he felt a pull on his arm.
"No hum yahin theek hain. First answer me." She said pulling him back over her.
"Chhavi what's wrong with you? Get up fast." He got up and made her stand but she still was swinging in his arms and was about to fall again when he caught her and held her firmly in his arms. She circled her arms around his neck and held him firmly.
"Now finally I have got up, so tell me why had you called her to your party?" she asked.
"I didn't call her. She came there without even an invitation. Sodhi jee told her that he can't meet her that day as he is going to attend my birthday party, so she also came there. None of us knew about her sudden arrival." He told her everything.
"Chal jhootthaa...you are lying."
"Trust me Chhavi...I am not lying to you. You know I can never lie to you."
They were lost in each others eyes when the music started playing in the disc and their feet started tapping with the beats of song.
Aisi kya, chali hawa, ki le gayi
Meri saanson ko mujhse door
Tere paas aur mujhe hua ehsaas
He swayed with her in his arms. Twirling her around, his eyes never left hers. She bumped into his chest.
Tu tu tu, tu meri ri ri
Main tera ra, hone laga
Main main main, main tera ra ra
Tu meri ri, hone lagi..
He started going away when she ran and held him tightly from his back. He turned and lifted her up a bit in his arms.
Kaise yeh hua magar
Na hai mujhe, na tujhko koi khabar
Par yeh dil ab se hai kehne laga
Tu tu tu, tu meri ri ri
Main tera ra, hone laga
Main main main, main tera ra ra
Tu meri ri, hone lagi..
He spun around and then lowered her down. Both started following their heart and dancing to the beats of their heart as well as the music. Synchronizing their steps and dancing as both were perfect with each other.
Na jaanu main na jaane tu
Hua yeh jaadu kaise
Jo mera tha woh kho gaya
Jo tera mil gaya ho jaise
Iss dil ne, jab jaana ki bas tu..
Their heart, the rhythm of the music and the lyrics of the song beautifully portrayed their chemistry for others. One person who was just smiling seeing them dancing their hearts out was Freddy. He knew it would happen sooner or later. He was happy that his plan worked.
Tu tu tu, tu meri ri ri
Main tera ra, hone laga
Main main main, main tera ra ra
Tu meri ri, hone lagi..
He had already spotted Chhavi in the disc and had told Viraf about it. Viraf was in a hurry to meet her but Freddy stopped him. "Kahan jaa raha hai?"
"Chhavi se milne." He said.
"Tu aise nahi jayega."
"Kyun? I want to clear all the misunderstandings between us."
"Don't worry, woh aaj khud ba khud clear ho jayenge. Iske liye tujhe wahan nahi jana padega, woh khud tere pass aayegi."
"Woh kaise?"
"Tu bus dekhta jaa kaise." He said smiling.
Yun kabhi, yun kabhi
Kehta hai jaise haan yehi bas yehi
Sama hai jisme zindagi zindagi
Hai jeeni aise ek pal, ek pal ho baaki
He was happy that finally whatever he had told Viraf to do worked, and they are together now. Dancing and enjoying each and every moment, it seems they are truly made for each other. Their moves were complimenting each other just perfectly.
"Oh God please don't create any more problems between them. Let them be happy the way they are now." He did a silent prayer for his friend.
Jaise ajnabi jahan aake lag jaaye gale
Jaise tu chale aur duniya tere sang chale
Jaise raat chupke se tere kaano mein kahe
Ke ab toh jaane kyun, jaane kyun, jaane kyun..
Viraf and Chhavi moved and spun around in time to the beats, smiling and happy. They moved away from each other only for him to grab her hand and pull her close. Both looked into each other's eyes as her hair flew away from her face. She blushed and turned her face away a little.
"Yeh Chhavi kis ke saath dance kar rahi hai?" Sheena's friend asked her. Coincidentally her friend was also there and she had come across her coincidentally at the bar. Sheena looked in that direction.
"Are yeh..yeh Viraf Patel hai. Chhavi ke first show ka lead actor."
"Wow kitna handsome hai yeh." One of the girl said drooling over him.
"Really...how lucky she is! Itna handsome co-star hote hue abhi tak isne kaise isko dekha nahi?" said another.
"I am not sure ki us ne abhi tak dekha nahi hai isko. Look at the way they are dancing. That itself says that they have something between them."
"Sure? I don't think... I am sure they met after a long time today."
"Whatever...but the way they are looking at each other and their eyes speaking are speaking, it looks like the matter is more than just being costars."
"But agar aisa hota toh Chhavi ne mujhe bataya hota."
"Arre you know in our industry only a few people accept their relationship so openly."
He grasped her waist and put his arm around it and pulled her closer. Chhavi's hands went around his neck as she stared at him. She moved away from him and both moved to the beats of the song.
Entwining his finger through hers, she leaned back as he held her and jerked her straight again. Still holding her hand, he pulled it over her head to lock her against himself. He spun her out and twirled her.
Tu tu tu, tu meri ri ri
Main tera ra, hone laga
Main main main, main tera ra ra
Tu meri ri, hone lagi...
Tu tu tu, tu meri ri ri
Main tera ra hone laga
Main main main, main tera ra ra
Tu meri ri, hone lagi..
Viraf pulled Chhavi against himself and leaned back. Then he separated from her and twirled her around and put his arms around her waist. Separating they faced each other and moved to the beats of the song.
"Yeh Viru ki ex-costar hai na?" Dhruv asked Freddy.
"Yeah dude."
"Just ex-costar ya kuch aur...?"
"Dhruv you know na...he likes someone?"
"Yeah I know...so is she that girl?" Freddy gave an affirmation.
Aisi kya, chali hawa, ki le gayi
Meri saanson ko mujhse door
Tere paas aur mujhe hua ehsaas
Tu tu tu tu tu tu ...
Tu tu tu, tu meri ri ri
Main tera ra, hone laga
A few more people were dancing with them but no one could match their chemistry. Even some people stopped dancing just to watch them dancing and enjoy their chemistry and passion for each other. Words were never needed to say anything betweem them. They never realized that a long time had passed since they used to work together. The comfort level was still the same and it has grown more as time passed.
Main main main, main tera ra ra
Tu meri ri, hone lagi..
Tu tu tu, tu meri ri ri
Main tera ra hone laga
Main main main, main tera ra ra
Tu meri ri, hone lagi..
As the song ended, he held her in a dip over his left arm. Their eye lock didn't break. They were still lost in each other's eyes when a center light shone over them.
A voice echoed in the disc. "So all pretty beauties and handsome hunks the Valentine's Couple of today is...Viraf and Chhavi." And the disc was filled with a loud round of applause. The sound of continuous cheers brought them back to the real world. Chhavi smiled and Viraf got a bit uneasy finding everyone watching them. One of the ladies bought a crown a sash for Mr. and Ms. Valentine. The crown was put on Chhavi's head and the sash was put over her shoulder and she smiled like a small kid. Viraf just loved watching her and adored her. After a few minutes Sheena also came there and joined them.
"Congrats Chhavi and Viraf. Finally Chhavi tujhe apna Mr. Valentine mil hi gaya na? See I had told you na?" she said winking.
"Are yeh...yeh to mujhe 2014..." She was cut short and corrected by Viraf.
"It was 2013 Chhavi."
"Are haan wahi. Mujhe 2013 mein hi mil gaya tha."
"Toh fir abhi tak tu pehchaan nahi paayi ki yehi tera Mr.Valentine hai." She teased her and Viraf blushed.
"Pata nahi...par yeh bhi mujhe beech beech mein bahut pareshaan karta hai to kaise pehchaan paati?" she said hugging and twirling.
"Excuse me ladies." Viraf left saying when he found Freddy signaling him to go there.
"Congrats dude! Finally you are with her."
"Thanks to you and your plan dude." He said hugging him.
"Oye bus kar...aur fir kabhi mujhe thanks kaha na to teri khair nahi." He warned him. Viraf just smiled. He was about to say something when someone tapped on Viraf's shoulder. He turned to find Chhavi standing there smiling like a small kid. "Look I am the princess today." She showed her crown to him.
"Yeah you are the princess." Freddy said, "Congrats princess."
"Hey Freddy, you here as well. Thank you."
"How is Princess?"
"Princess is all fine."
"Fine. Don't you feel tired Princess?" he asked her and Viraf was just smiling like an idiot watching them and drooling over her more and more.
"Yeah princess is tired and she wants some rest."
"So I think someone is needed to take the princess back home na?" he asked.
"Of course, here is the person who will take the princess back home."
"Who?" Viraf asked. He wanted to drop her home but when she mentioned someone else his face fell as he lost the chance.
"You...Mr. Viraf Phiroz Patel... you are ordered by the Princess to take her back home." He was happy and he secretly wanted to dance when she ordered him.
"As you say your highness." he smiled.
"Enjoy...the night with her." Freddy teased him.
"Chalo..." she dragged him and Chhavi said bye to Freddy.
"Bye Freddy."
"Bye Chhavi, see you later."
They came to the parking area when Chhavi said, "Allleee maine to Sheena ko bataya hi nahi ki main ja rahi hoon ghar wapas. Wait I will just come." And she tried to move but her head felt heavy and she was about to fall Viraf caught her.
"Chhavi... are you fine?" he asked concerned.
"Haannn...main theek hoon bilkul but pata nahi achanak se mera yeh sir na ghoom raha tha.." she said holding her head when he tried to make her stand.
"You are drunk. It must have been because of that."
"No...I am not drunk. Maine kuch hi shots toh liye the, I think eight...no..nine...nahi nahi...it was seven...yaar fir woh kuch shots aur liye the." She said sitting on the floor. "Seven tak to yaad hai..fir... she was placing her hand over your shoulder and I got irritated toh aur le liye. I think eleven...the..." she was still trying to remember, "Nahi pakka yaad hi nahi aa raha hai. Pata nahi kuch yaad hi nahi aa raha hai."
Viraf smiled seeing her innocent act but something caught all his attention which was that she drank because of him. "It means you drank because of me?" he asked her.
"Haan..you were busy with that girl and I didn't like it."
"Why?" he asked further.
She looked at him and said, "I am tired, ab chalo ghar chalein. Baad mein bataongi ki kyun."
"You are avoiding my question."
"Nahi na...abhi mujhe ice cream khana hai."
"Tum ne to kaha ki abhi ghar chalo."
"Nahi...mood change, I want to have ice cream now."
"It's late Chubby, kahan milegi?"
"I don't know...I just want ice cream right now."
"Chubby...mat khao na warna aur chubby ho jaogi samjhi." He teased her.
"You always make fun of my weight. Batao kahan se chubby lag rahi hoon. Look at me." She said and now for the first time he had a proper look at her. She was just looking stunning in that blue strapless dress which fit her body perfectly and showed off her every curse beautifully. For some time, he was lost in her beauty and was unable to take his eyes off her. He was aroused and he just wanted to kiss her right away. Taking in his arms he wanted to feel each and every inch of her body. His chain of thoughts was broken when she asked him again, "Tell me...am I really chubby?"
"No you are not. You are sexy." He said but soon realized what had slipped from his mouth.
"What did you say?" she asked.
"I said you are sweet."
"I know I am but now I need more sweet ice cream, woh bhi Belgian choco chips with chocolate."
"Chhavi...you think abhi hume kahin milega yeh ice cream?" he asked.
"I know milega...and I will not listen to any excuse, samjhe?" She said.
"Ok let's leave. I will search for it." He said making her sit in his car and he went around to sit at his place and drove off. On the way to her home she was behaving like a kid. Sometimes she would to sing any song, then she would peep out of the window and wave her hands. Viraf tried his best to make her sit inside but all his efforts went in vain. She tried to stand and put her body out of the window and stood feeling the fresh air.
"Chaavi please baith jao log dekhenge to kya sochenge?" he said.
"Nahi bilkul nahi, I am enjoying it."
"Chhavi, you know you are a public figure, anyone can spot you and next day your photo will be in the newspaper and you will regret it later."
"I will not regret anything. You know my head feels light in this fresh air." All of a sudden her eyes fell on something and she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Stop...stop...stop." And Viraf just put on the emergency brake which resulted in him hitting the steering lightly as he had forgotten to put the seat belt on in a hurry. Poor guy just got irritated but on looking at her face and her smile, it vanished. Her eyes were full of hope and he once again fell in love with her. He just gave a small smile and asked, "Kya hua Chhavi?"
"Dekho woh ice cream vendor." She showed him the ice cream vendor who was serving ice cream to a couple. "I told you na ki we will get ice cream." Viraf smiled and Chhavi ran to the ice cream vendor and ordered her favorite flavor. "Aao na." she called him.
Viraf got out of the car and walked to the place. "Tum kaun sa loge?"
"Nothing you have it." He said.
"Ok bhaiya do Belgian choco chips with chocolate."
"Do?"
"Yes, I will have two." She said.
"Sure?"
"Of course." She said with a big smile. He just watched her taking the ice cream and adored her each expression no matter if it was happiness, excitement or eagerness to have them as soon as she got it. She was having the ice cream just like a kid. He was busy staring at her when all of a sudden she started crying. Viraf was shocked and thought what made her cry all of a sudden.
