Part 24:
Rahul and Muskaan were walking on the shoreline with their feet in the water, talking, and laughing.
Rahul: Pata hai Muskaan jab humme pata chala ki college mein ek nayi ladki aane wali hai, Armaan aur atul kitne pagal ho gaye the, woh toh lar rahi the ki tu unke girlfriend bane gi, uss waqt maine tumhe dekha bhi nahin, but you know I wasn't even interested in any girl, lekin jab tumne humare class mein pehle bar kadam rakha, mann I couldn't take my eyes off you! Armaan aur atul..
Muskaan: Bas bas, sara time tum hi bologe ki main bhi kuch keh sakti hoon?
Rahul: Haan sorry.... bolo na.
Muskaan: Haan toh, jab mera pehla din tha, tab sab logon ke beech mujhe sirf tum nazar aye, pata nahin kyun, aur yaad hai jab tumne pehli baar mere paas akar baat ki? Hum dono kitna awkward feel kar rahe the na?
Rahul: Pleasee mujhe us din ka yaad mat dela, maine soch kar rakha tha ki jab main tumse baat karunga toh main bahut sari batein tumhe bataunga, lekin jab tum mere samne aayi tab laga ki kissi ne mere zuban ko katli ho. Aur phir woh party? Haiii ek toh tum itni khoobsurat lag rahi thi, aur phir woh game..
Muskaan: Rahul, mujhe aaj tak bhura lag raha hai, main toh wahan se chali gayi, aur tumhe bolne ka mauka bhi nahin di.
Rahul: Awwwww tumhe bhura lag raha hai jaaanuuuuu???
Rahul splashed a handful of water on muskaan.
Muskaan: Rahull!!! Main tumhe nahin chorungiii!!
She started to run after him, and rahul ran for his life! She caught him by the shirt and they fell down and started rolling on the sand landing in the water. Rahul landed on top of Muskaan. Rahul moved a strand of muskaans hair from her face, and was stroking his hand on her cheek. Rahul started to lean forward, and muskaan closed her eyes, but then someone disturbed their perfect moment.
Armaan: Rahulll?? Kahan hai tuu???
Rahul and muskaan quickly got up, rahul could see armaan but armaan couldn't see him.
Rahul: Muskaan! Ja yahan se, ja apne room mein ja, main armaan ko sambhal tha hoon.
Muskaan nodded and ran from the backway.
Rahul walked towards armaan.
Armaan: Rahul, tu kahan tha yaar? Main tumhe kapse dundh raha tha.
Rahul: Woh main bas aise hi beach pe walk karne aaya tha. Tum log kahan gaye the?
Armaan: Hum ek mast restaurant me gaye the, wowww the food was sooo good!
Rahul: Dekh armaan, khane ka naam bhi mat le, maine yahan pe itna khaya hai.
Armaan: Acha? Toh tu yahan pe akele akele mazza kar raha tha?
Rahul: Akela kahan tha, muskaan thi na mere saath.
Armaan: Oooooohhhhhhhh muskaaan!!!
Rahul: Armaan aise baat nahin hai joh tu soch raha hai, woh bhi akeli thi, aur uski tabiyaat theek nahin thi isiliye hum saath mein khana khane gaye the.
Armaan: Maine kuch pucha tujhse rahul?
Rahul: uhhh... nahin.... main bas bata raha hoon.
Armaan: Tune mujhse jhoot bola rahul?
Rahul: huh...?
Armaan: Ridhima ne mujhe bata diya, mujhe sab pata hai, tumhe mujhe yeh baat batani chahiye thi, ridhima ko nahin.
Rahul: Haan main batane wala tha.. lekin..
Armaan: lekin kya?? Jab tumhare shaadi hogi tab?
Rahul: Don't push it armaan, sach mein, mujhe tum sab ko batana chahta tha, lekin muskaan thoda uncomfortable feel kar rahi thi sab ko batane mein, woh ridhima thi jisne muskaan ka message para.
Armaan: Acha hua ki usne message para warna humme yeh bat kabhi nahin pata chalta.
Rahul: Sorry yaar, atul aur anjali ko bhi pata hai?
Armaan nodded his head.
Rahul: Ab main muskaan ko kya bataunga? Woh pakka ghussa ho jayegi...
Armaan: Dekh tu usse batana mat ki hum sab ko pata hai, hum sab uske samne normal behave karenge, main sab ko bata dunga.
Rahul: Nahin yaar, mujhe usse batana parega, agar usse pata chalega ki maine usse jhoot bola toh woh aur bhi naraaz ho jayegi.... Look ill see you later, ill go talk to muskaan.
Armaan: Alright.... take care man.
While that happened with armaan and rahul, muskaan had reached her room and saw ridhima and anjali waiting for her.
Anjali: Muskaan tu kahan thi?
Muskaan: Wohh...
Ridhima: Tu toh soh rahi thi na?
Muskaan: Haan lekin phir mujhe bhook lagi thi isiliye main neeche restaurant mein gayi kuch khane ke liye.
Ridhima: Aur Rahul?
Muskaan: Rahul??
Ridhima: Haan rahul, woh kya kar raha tha?
Muskaan: Mujhe kya pata, woh tum logon ke saath nahin gaya?
Anjali: Muskaan i think its time you should tell us.
Muskaan looked at ridhima and ridhima nodded her head.
Muskaan: Ridhima tum ne sab ko bata diya?
Ridhima: Haann wooh.. main....
Muskaan: How could you? Tumhe pata hai ki mujhe nahin chahiye tha ki sab ko pata chale.
Anjali: Lekin kyun? Hum tumhare dost nahin hai?
Muskaan: Ho lekin kuch batein aise hoti hai joh main apne doston ko bhi nahin batana chahti.
Ridhima: muskaan im really sorry
Muskaan: Enough ridhima, ab kuch nahin ho sakta.
Right then someone knocked on the door. Muskaan went to open it and saw rahul by the door.
Muskaan: Ao ab tumhari hi kami thi yahan pe.
Rahul: Dekh muskaan mujhe tumse kuch kehna hai.
Muskaan: Yahi ki sab ko pata chal gaya?
Ridhima came by the door.
Ridhima: Rahul im really sorry, mujhe nahin batana tha lekin phir pata nahin maine kyun sab ko bata diya.
Rahul: Muskaan, tu naraaz toh nahin hai na?
He said this ignoring ridhima completely all he was worried about was muskaan, if she was alright, and if she wasn't mad at anyone.
Muskaan: Haan main theek hoon, ghussa hone se kya faida? Joh hua so hua... Aa rahul andhar aa.
Rahul: Nahin main apne room main ja raha hoon.. waise kal ka plan yeh hai ki hum sab ek boat trip ke liye jayenge. So be ready!
He left and muskaan and ridhima went back to the bed.
Anjali: Boat tripp wow cant wait! Okay so muskaan, ab ki humme pata chal gaya hai, ab toh tumhe koi problem nahin honi chahiye humme batane mein ki yeh sab kab aur kahan hua tha?
Ridhima: Haan muskaan please bata na.
Muskaan: Okayy so here it goes...
Muskaan told them everything that happened between her and rahul, when they met, how they became friends, the day before the valentines party when he told her and their kiss, how their valentiens night went when rahul surprised her and she fell asleep on the hammock, the old lady and man that rahul hates completely, and then finally today when the ate soo much, and their lovely time at the beach.
Anjali: Oh my god, tumhare love story toh ek dum ek film ke tarah hai, rahul kitna romantic hai haina ridz?
Ridhima: Haan woh toh hai, hes so sweet na, tumhari tabiyaat theek nahin thi isiliye woh humhare saath nahin aaya, usne toh humse bola ki usse sona hai, lekin sach toh yeh hai ki woh tumhe akela nahin chor sakta.
Muskaan: Ok ok guys, enough... kahin yeh toh nahin hai ki tum logon ko bhi rahul pasand hai, agar aisa ho na toh main tum sab ko mar dalungi, rahul mera hai okay sirf mera.
The three of them cracked up laughing, and kept on talking throughout the whole night.
Precap: Boat trip coming upp!
