"Mannnu Jaldi kar na late ho jayenge" Jeevika asked her to walk faster as Manvi was still abit sleepy.. They rushed through the crowd with their coffee to see if they have missed their flight.. but for a change they were before time.. sighing they turned to go and sit as it was still time for passengers to check in.. just as they turned they turned into someone who was busy changing song on her iphone..
"Holy Shit.." the girl shouted when she saw some coffee spilled on her jacket as well as iphone.. not caring about her jacket she quickly wiped off the iphone from her hanky and checked if it was working fine..
"Sorry.. maine dekha nahi.." Jeevika apologized.. the girl nodded and left..
"har waqt kisi na kisi ke saath bhid jaati hai.. kahin toh araam se insaanon jaise chala kar Mannu.." Jeevika told her.. while she stayed unaffected
"Kyaaa di... kam se kam yahan toh insaan banne ke liye mat kaho... yahan masti karne aaye hain hum... khoob masti karenge..."
Soon enough to cut short their blabbering announcement was made for the passengers to board the flight.. they settled down but coincidentally the girl they had collided with earlier came and sat next to them.. they looked at eachother while the girl gave them THE LOOK once and settled keeping her jacket over her iphone this time in case they again spill something on her iphone...
Jeevika picked up a newspaper and got herself busy.. Manvi was ready to sleep again.. and the other girl was still busy with her songs..
Finally after a while when her ears started aching she pulled out the earplugs and stuffed iphone and earplugs into her bag.. as she pulled out a book to read, she glanced to her right side to see the girl on the extreme right asleep while the other was soo busy reading the newspaper.. "Hi.. m Ami..."
"Hi.. Jeevika." with a smile and exchange of names they got back to their readings..
Standing infront of Eiffel Tower, Ami looked around to see if she could find anyone to click a few pics of her.. she spotted a girl sitting on the bench and thought of approaching her.. The Girl in Black turned around and looked blankly when Ami requested her to click a few pictures of her around.. after 2-3 pics just as Ami was going to thank her and take her camera back she saw two girls bumping into the Girl in black.. She caught her camera just in time before it could hit the ground..
"Inke paas aur koi kaam nai hai kya.. mera hi samaan dikhta hai distruction ke liye.." Ami thought looking at JeeMan yet again..
"Wow.. you guys have got some good experience at bumping into people.." Ami spoke..
"NO.. we're sorry.." Jeevika apologised keeping her palm on Manvi's mouth to stop her from picking up any argument, but soon it started to rain.. stuffing the camera into her back Ami ran towards a shed only to find the girl in black there too.. looking at the happiness Rain has left on the face of the girl in black clothes Ami asked.. "You Like rain..?"
"I Love it.."
"I can sense it... BTW hi.. m Ami.." Ami said smiling.
"Hello.. main Neha.. chalo vahan se chalte hain.. metro tak.." she said pointing towards a lane which had a small Indian sort of market.. As they walked under the shed to the lane Ami saw a few key rings hanging.. "If you have time, main key rings dekh loon..?" as Neha nodded and turned Ami went away humming "Shayad phir iss janam mein mulaakaat ho na ho."
Neha turned to look at Ami once.. as songs catch her attention very soon.. as if gana muh pe baith gaya ho Neha too went to see a few lockets humming the same line..
While on other side Ami picked up two lockets and took a step back to see which one should she buy.. She was still busy with her key rings when she unknowingly took a step back while Manvi who was busy in her mobile bumped.. Ami looked back at the girl to see if she turns back for a sec...but she didnt...The moment Ami got back to her lockets, she heard "Kudiye ni tere brown rang ne" She hurriedly looks towards the source of sound .It was the same girl's ringtone.. she looked only to see that girl quickly untangling Ami's purple stole from a ghungroo tied on her wrist.. answering the call Manvi was about to move to Jeevika.. when she turned with a knowing smile pointing at the locket saying "dono hi ache hain koi bhi le lo..." leaving Ami flabbergasted..
"yeh tere haath se purple sa dhaaga kaisa latak raha hai..?" Jeevika asked..
Manvi told her about her bumping into Ami.. "Arey Di wohi ladki..subah se jiske sath meri bumping game chal rahi hai."
"hey bhagwan phir wohi ladki.? Mannu tu bhi na.. zara akkal nahin hai tujh mein... aankhein khol ke chala kar... Ab has kyun rahi hai.. sorry bola use..?" Jeevika asked..
"Kisko..? ohh.. sorry bhi bolte hain kya..?" Manvi giggled
Jeevika shook her head and moved towards Ami.. "I am sorry." Ami looks at her not knowing what to say but then her phone rings and she explains her mom how she met Neha and would call her back once she reached her hotel... Jeevika smiled listening to the convo..
"Bache door hon toh Maa ko fikar lagi rehti hai.. "Jeevika said to Ami while carresing Manvi's hair with love... ''Ab ise hi dekh lo..yeh door ho jaye 2 min k liye bhi nazron se toh meri jaan nikal jaati hai..."
"Yeh aapki? Ami asked almost shocked
"Bachi hai Meri" Jeevika mumbled still lost in her thoughts looking at Manvi who was busy playing game on her phone...
Ami somehow could get herself to belive the words she actually heard..
"Kya hua..?" Neha came to shake her but instead of responding Ami started walking with her but just as she was about to trip Neha caught her hand saying "Kehdeyan khyaalan tenu patteya.. dass tu ki pyar vichon khatteya" hearing Neha sing such sooo dramatically and badly Ami laughed along with her..
"Punjabi gaanon ka shauk hai..?" Ami asked..
"punjabi ka Zyada nahi.. par baaki gaano ka hai... I mean I can spend all day with my phone naye-purane, rotlu-comedy, sad-romantic.. har gana pasand hai mujhe.." Neha said making Ami smile at her exaggerated explanation..
Dropping her off to her desired station Neha turned to go when Ami forwarded her hand for a shake saying.. "Assin tere shehar nu salaam kar challe aa.... hopefully phir milenge.."
Some days later on 9th of June, at The Boat Tour of The River.. yet again girls bump into each other.. this time they had no choice but to keep sitting as the boat was moving around.. As they all came face to face they rewinded in everyone's mind.. they sat there sharing silence and looking around as at night the view was breathtaking.. the boat was also less crowded so they sat around comfortably accepting the fact that they'll be in that boat together for next an hour or so..
"Tchh Mannuu..yeh net load kyun nai ho raha.." Jeevika whinned suddenly looking at Manvi for help..
"Chodo na Di... connection nai hoga.." Manvi said..
"par usse wish karna hai yaar.. humari itni achi friend hai... chahe humne dekha nai use kabhi par phir bhi jitni baar net pe baat ki hai badi pyari lagi mujhe."
"hmmm.. Mujhe bhi.. par Diii waise ek badi serious baat hai, suno.."
Jeevika turned serious and turned towards her and spoke- "haan bol na Mannu.." in the mean while, Ami n neha too turned towards Manvi after listening to her serious tone..
Keeping a straight face, Manvi spoke- "Di bday hai uska, MUJHE SHARAFAT AUR SWEETNESS SE BDAY WISH KARNI NAI AATI.." While Neha and Ami laughed at her Jeevika shouted back at Mannu.. "Chuppp karr.." turning to Ami and Neha, "Ignore her..werna khud toh pagal hai hi...aap ko bhi kar degi."
"dont worry, am already.." Neha said flashing her 32 teethy smile to JeeMan.. Ami shook her head at Neha smilingly..
"Vaise kisko bday wish karna hai..? aaj vaise meri bhi ek frnd ka bday hai.. par philhaal koi source nahi hai usko wish karne ka.." Neha added..
Ami smiled, thinking in her heart "Pata nai aaj iss boat mein iss anjaan shehar mein akele hoke bhi akela feel nahin ho raha... yeh ajnabi mere saath baithe kisi ke bday ki baatein kar rahe hain aur khushi mujhe ho rahi hai bohat apnepan wali...''
"Waise aapko kise wish karna hai..?" Neha aksed Manvi.. Jeevika turned towards Manvi signaling her to answer Neha's question.. She got embarrassed as Neha was asking Manvi but Manvi as usual was stupidly not attentive to her surroundings.. Jeevika with gritted teeth spoke smilingly- "Mannnuuu" and nudged her to look at Neha.
" Pehli baat to yeh, Jo tu tik-tok tik-tok chalti hai Maana ye saari teri high heels ki galti hai" Manvi sang, doing a little bhangra on her seat turned her face towards neha and spoke- "Ruk toh jaa tu hang on.. yeh toh bata tu hai kaun.. kahan se aayi hai kahan ko jayegi."
Ami and Neha looked at her disbelievingly and Jeevika hid her face in her palms muttering- She is not with me..
After a minute, Ami laughed uncontrollably and turned towards Neha and said- "She is unbelievable.."
Neha sang tensed and looked above, scared of the insane girl around her- "aaj ki raat hona hai kya.."
Jeevika spoke- "Chinta mat karo, khokar kuch nahi jayenge, paake hi jayenge" Ami looked at her.. They made eye contact and smiled heartingly..
Jeevika said to Neha "Net friend hai humari...ek social site pe mile the hum "
"Kaunsi site?" Neha asked
"IF.. india forums.."
"Wow..main bhi hun wahan.. with the name Neha.K. " Neha jumped with happiness..
Meanwhile Ami understood everything.. She was shocked to say the least.. They all were talking about her birthday.. though her heart knew but she still wanted a confirmation..
Manvi stood up from her seat and spoke keeping her hands on her waist, "HAILA.. U r Neha.K. .. I so wanted to tell you- Yaar tumari posts aur ffs ya toh bohat hasaati hain ya bohat rulaati hain."
Neha stood up, 'Haha i know..sab yahi kehte hain..''
Jeeevika stood and took Manvi back- "Mannnu... tu bhi na.. kabhi toh kuch pyar se bola kar... hum IF mein se kisi ko mile hain..say HI atleast..."
Manvi smiled sheepishly and came towards her, hugged her...
Neha too smiled after coming out of the hug
She gave her flashy smile.. And both said turning towards Jeevika- "kaise karein wish, Amii ka bday hai yar.. "
Ami got up and said- "Main aap logon ki mushkil solve karun?"
Jeevika looked at her and unknowingly spoke- I LOVE YOU..
It was odd.. Jeevika didn't know why she said that.. Manvi didn't know, what happened to her Di, And Neha looked around to understand the things.. Ami got down to Jeevika's knees and said- I love you too, hum aise milenge, sapne mein bhi nahin socha tha... its my best bday and best bday gift everrr...
Neha shouted- YOU ARE AMIII... my Duchman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neha immediately hugged Ami and expressed her all happiness through that one hug.. Jeevika kissed Ami's forehead and said- Happy birthday..
Thanku Di, ''Ami mumbeled unknowingly
Dii?, 'Jeevika asked
Pata nahin..par muh se nikal gaya apne aap.." Ami replied smiling at Jeevika
Ami turned to Neha and said- "Dooron baith duawaan kardi Ammi... saanu na kujh ho jaye dardi Ammi..." While Neha grinned recognizing the song and its relevance..
"Aap nai aaoge wish karne?" Ami said to Manvi..
Manvi came forward, hugged her and said "Happy bday Duchman"
Duchman?'' Ami looked at Manvi with wide eyes
"Haha woh maine Neha ko kehte suna hai.. i mean dekha hai IF pe tumhe kehte huye" Manvi giggled...
And all laughed and Ami cut her fav Diary Milk chocolate as a bday cake with kurkure fixed on it as candles...
Happy Birthday!!!!!
