In terace:
Sam entered the terace without knowing that Gun was already there. He sat on swing, and hearing that sound Gun turned,
'arey Samrat tum yahan'
'tum bhi to yahan ho. Kyu? Neend nahi aa rahi?'
'aise hi samajhlo'
'dekha? Maine finaly tumhari neende uda hi li'
Gun smiled at his flirtish tone,
'magar tum Samrat, tumhari neend kisne udayi? Yeh to tumhara department hai na? Kaun hai wo khush naseeb?'
'tum'
'main?'
'haan tum. Yahin sochake mere baal safed ho rahe hai aur neend ud rahi hai ke tum mere sath date pe kab chalogi. Ise pehle ke main buddha ho jau, haan kehdo chashmish'
Gun smilled and sat on the same swing and asked,
'to phir yeh kya hai?'
confussed Sam asked,
'matlab?'
'date ka matlab kya hota hai? Do log jab date pe jate hai tab kya hota hai?'
'wo dono akele hote hai aur kisiki taraf unka dhyan nahi rehta'
'aur'
'aur bas ek dusre ki baatein karate hai! Ek dusre ke sath waqt gujarate hai'
'to phir agar jo tum keh rahe ho wo date hai, to hum kitni baar date pe gaye hai. Jab main tumhare sath bike pe thi, jab hum phone pe bate karate hai, diwali ke waqt, jab main tumhe padha rahi thi, aur aaj abhi!'
Sam, confussed, thought for sec.
'waise chashmish tum baat to thik kar rahi ho'
'phir, tum yuhi kehte rehte ho hum date pe nahi jate'
saying this Gun smiled. Sam thought something and a mischivious smile appeared on his face and he looked at Gun.
Gun looked at Sam,
'Samrat tumhare dimag mein kya chal raha hai. Kuch to pak raha hai'
'actually chashmish, tum jo keh rahi ho wo thik hai magar aisi bohot si baate hai jo log date par karate hai aur humne nahi ki. To wo perfect date kaise hue?'
'samrat...........tum..........tum...'
' i know i m the best'
she just shook her head in disbelief as Sam smiled at her.
IN GARDEN:
Mayu was marching from here to there.
'akhir baat kya ho sakati hai? Kya kisine use kuch bola? Maine to nahi? Shayad jabse hum khel rahe the maine use baat nahi ki is liye, ya phir shayad usko kisiki yaad aa rahi thi'
confussed Mayu went on walking, as he move further he found a bench where he settle down.
IN NUPS ROOM:
She was trying to sleep in every possible style but coudnt. At the end she got up,
'mujhe neend kyun nahi aa rahi hai. Shayad raat bhar padhai ke liye jagane ki aadat pad chuki hai'
and she got up from bed. Went near window to get some fresh air. Then she saw Mayu sitting there on bench.
'arey yeh Mayank garden mein kyun baitha hai. Ise to sona chahiye, jaag kyun raha hai? Lagata hai bura maan gaya. Mujhe use sorry bolna chahiye'
And she went towords garden.
Mayu was thinking hard when Nups tapped on his shoulders.
'arey Nupur tum yahan soyee nahi?'
Nups sat by Mayu.
'tum bhi to nahi soye'
'wo actually tumse kuch baat karani thi'
'mujhe bhi tumse kuch baat karani hai'
'achha tum bolo'
'nahi tum bolo'
'dekho Nupur tum bolo'
Now Nups temprature raise,
'by god Mayank, jab bolne ka mauka deti hoon to tum bolo tum bolo kehte ho. Warna mujhpar hi chilla te ho bolne ka mauka nahi deti is liye'
'acha thik hai, gussa mat ho. Actually tum naraz ho na mujhase is liye tumse sorry kehna tha. I m sorry!'
'hye kyun Mayank? Tum kyun sorry kahoge, wo to mujhe kehna chahiye! Main khamkha tum par naraz ho gayh. Mujhe laga tum mujhse naraz hoge'
'aur mujhe laga tum'
Nups smilled,
'by god Mayank yeh to bohot bada chutkula ho gaya'
Mayank staired at smilling Nups,
'Nupur tum aise hasate hue hi achhi lagati ho'
Nups looked down, feeling shy. But then looked up at smilling Mayank and said,
' kash yeh main tumhare liye keh sakati!'
'achha, isi smile ke peeche aadhi college ki ladkiya padi hai'
'adhi kyun?'
'kyunki adhi Samrat ke peeche padi hai'
and they both smiled.
'wo baat to sach hai. Pata hai Mayank agar main Samrat se badi nahi hoti na to main bhi uspe line marati. Par waise ek saal ka difference chalta hai na? Hum naye jamane ke hai bhai'
'haan kyun nahi! Waise Nupur tum agar mujhase naraz nahi thi to phir kis par naraz thi'
'hmm..........', Nups try to think, 'pata nahi. Shayad yuhi'
'yuhi?'
'haan! Yuhi'
Mayu raised his eyebrows and said,
'thank god! Samrat tumse chota hai. Bach gaya'
'kya? Kya kaha tumne', Nups asked in demanding tone.
'kuch nahi. Meri itni himmat ke main kuch kaho. Ab raat bhi bohot ho chuki hai. Sone chale?'
and he stood up to avoid further fight and started walking towards his room.
Nups followed him,
'yeh jo tum badbada rehte ho na mujhe sab pata hai!'
'achha thik hai meri maa. Ab chalo'
and they both went to their respective rooms.
