RM FF: Tu Zindagi Hai..updated pg47(30/05/11) - Page 28

Okkkk...finally I'm here with the next update....I know I'm pretty late for it....but hopefully u guyz would forgive me for the delay..*holding my ears*....

Before I start,I would like to mention 2 things abt the story ahead....Firstly,as many of the readers are waiting for knowing how RM met and what all happened....the flashbacks would be more in the following chapters containing their love story too...Secondly,as I mentioned earlier too that the character of Dr.Mansi is an important one in RM's story....so,the shades u would be able to see in this chapter too...but whether its a negative one or positive...for that u would have to wait and figure it out urselves....😛

Chapter 8A:

Rah(confused)-ummm...yes!?

''ummm...Rahul!!!??''Pointing at him in utter shock,she hesistantly uttered his name...

Rah(confused more)-umm...yes...sorry do we know each other?

''I cant believe this...Rahul Khanna...the famous painter???''

Rah-ummm....yes...sorry I seriously didnt recongnize u...?

''Tum mujhe kaise bhool sakte ho....Rahul!!! Its me...Anjali....yaad nahi hum college mein ek saath the.....remember!!!

After thinking for a while,he remembered and jumped in excitement.

Rah(shocked)-Anjieeee!!!!!!??? Anjali smiled.

Rah-tum...tum...tum..yaha kya kar rahi ho???Ohh God...I cant believe this.....kitne saalon baad tumhe dekh raha ho....

Anj-haan..I know....kaise ho tum aur Raj bhaiya kaise hai?

Rah-I'm good aur bhaiya bhi theek hai....tum batao..?

Anj-bas chal raha hai...

Rah(smiles)-come lets sit na....

Anj(smiles)-ya sure.....

Meanwhile,Muskaan hurriedly parked her car outside Nirulas and rushed inside.

Mus-aaj toh main gayi...Rahul toh mujhse pakka naraz hoge...ye traffic bhi na.....She opened the main gate of the restaurant and searched for Rahul but couldnt find him.

Mus(worried)-hey Bhagwaan...kahi chale toh nahi gaye....tchhh...ab kya karu.....!! Suddenly she heard two people chatting and laughing at one corner...she went close to find Rahul there.Confused and surprised as she was,she wondered who was the other person sitting with Rahul and chatting so freely.In thoughts as she was,Rahul noticed her and waved to her.

Rah-Muskaan yaha!! Muskaan came back from her thoughts and smiled.Sitting next to him,she smiled at Anjali.

Anj-Arre Rahul..I think we need an intro...!!

Rah(smiles)-haan...sure...Muskaan ye Dr.Anjali Joshi hai....meri college ki sabse achi friend.....aur Anjie ye Muskaan hai...meri....ummm...

Anjali smiled looking at him fumbling with words while Muskaan smiled too.

Anj-rehne do Rahul..main samjh gayi.....(turning to Muskaan and placing her hand infront)...hi Muskaan....

Mus(smiles and shakes her hand)-hi....

Suddenly Anjali's phone began to ring...she picked it up and smiled,while Rahul-Muskaan looked at each other and smiled.

Anj-umm...sorry Rahul wo mujhe jaana hoga....actually Atul ka phone tha...wo mera wait kar raha hai ghar pe.....

Mus-Atul??

Rah(smiles)-Dr.Atul Joshi...mera dusra sabse acha dost..aur Anjie ka husband....dono college ke sweethearts the.....

Anjali blushed slightly and Muskaan smiled looking at her.

Anj-acha guyz main chalti hoon...hmmm...Muskaan it was lovely meeting u....

Mus(smiles)-same here.....

Anj-acha bye...

RM-bye....

With that Anjali left the spot and Rahul-Muskaan took their respective seats once again.........................

M-Raj!! Raj's chain of thoughts were broken when he noticed Moushmi calling him.He looked up at her and they stared at each other.....Raj's eyes showing the love while Moushmi's eyes the need to escape it....She quickly lowered her eyes and said:

M-wo..umm..khana lag gaya hai....Raj looked down and a fake smile crossed his face.

R-hmm...aata hoon...

Without further telling,Moushmi left leaving behind a more determined Raj to express it all out today.

Meanwhile,the determination Raj had in his heart now...Moushmi didnt even have the courage to accept it.Moushmi's heart was beating fast and she could feel the storm within.Her feelings and emotions rising to a level where they were uncontrolable...she had tears in them.Even though her heart,her mind...she knew everything....every bit of it...but no...she didnt want to accept...didnt want to understand them....didnt want to give it a chance.....she was worried,confused,surprised...as to why did she think like this.....but she did...and maybe because she was scared...scared of loosing him...scared of loosing the relationship she treasured the most...Muskaan...her sister!! She didnt know what to do yet she was occupied with so many thoughts that which one is right..and which one wrong...she had no idea.

''Moushmi''

She gasped slightly and closed her eyes.The first time these feelings aroused in her...she remembers...how she had loved her name from his lips.Raj didnt know what he was doing..but he knew she had to say it today....he couldnt take the pain more which were flowing continously from her eyes.....which automatically created an unevitable pain in his heart.He went close to her.Clasping her dupatta tightly,she could feel his steps coming closer to her.As he took a step,her heart was skipping a beat everytime.She was nervous as well as scared.She didnt want to listen.....didnt want to come face-to-face to those feelings as she was scared that she would drown in them and then wouldnt be able to control herself.

Raj came very close to her from behind....they could hear each other heartbeats...which were rising every moment.

R-main tumse kuch kehna chahta hoon..Moushmi's eyes which were shut till now immediately opened.

M-ummm...muj..mujhe khana...lagana....hai....main...With that,she was about to go but Raj was in no mood of letting her escape today.He held her hand tightly making her all weak and then pulled her back and pinned her to the wall.He knew he had this effect on her.Moushmi couldnt make a eye contact...she looked down clearly nervous,shocked and worried.

M(breathing heavily because of the closeness)-Raajjj...please....mujhe jaane do.....

R(smiles)-nahi Moushmi..aaj nahi...bahut ho chuka...bahut bhaag chuki tum...bas ab aur nahi...

M(looking at him)-tum kya keh rahe ho...mujhe samjh nahi aa raha.....

R-acha!? With this,he took a step more towards her while Moushmi gasped slowly.

M-Raaj...please.....She kept his hand on his chest to block his way of coming any more further.Raj smiled sweetly and caught her wrist and pinned it too against the wall leaving her no way to escape.

M(gasping)-Raj..ye..ye kya kar rahe ho...chodo mujhe.....

R-tumhe lagta hai maine tumhe chodne ke liye haath pakda hai...aaj tumhe meri baat sunni hi padegi,Moushmi..Moushmi felt shy and lowered her eyes..her heart was doing his job of taking her over completely.

M(blushing)-Raj..please....Raj smiled more as her red cheeks didnt go unnoticed by him...They looked at each other and had a long eye-lock clearly defining the love they had for each other.After a while,Moushmi lowered her gaze..

M-Raj..please..chodo mujhe..She struggled hard but all in vain.

R(smiles)- I love you!!! Moushmi immediately looked up.Shocked as she was that he said it......within a fraction of a second he said it all........she couldnt believe her ears.....she closed her eyes to let those words sink in her heart and a small smile escaped her lips and Raj smiled too...he knew she had those feelings.Moushmi felt her cheeks getting red.....she couldnt understand what to do...Raj had confessed everything today...every bit of it.Raj smiled on seeing Moushmi's confused yet blushing face.She had tears in her eyes....Raj went close and kissed her forehead slightly making her believe that he loved her.Moushmi closed her eyes as soon as she felt his lips on her forehead and tears ran down through her cheeks.Without waiting further,she hid herself in his arms tightly making Raj smile.Moushmi smiled fully yet she was crying and just closed her eyes,sighing slowly.....

Rah(stern look)-toh madam...ek ghante se aapka wait kar raha hoon...kaha reh gayi thi aap..hmm..?

Mus(innocently)-wo...ummm..traffic mein phas...She looked down and Rahul smiled at her innocent face but pretended to be angry.

Rah-mujhe kuch nahi sunna...main jaa raha hoon....

Mus-arre Rahul..suniye toh..acha sorry na baba....chooryyyyy....She held her ears and apologized.Rahul's heart melted but he wanted to tease her further.

Rah-bye....Muskaan felt gulity and went to make it up for it.

Coming out of the parlour,Rahul smiled at her cuteness.Muskaan followed him and held his hand.

Mus(smiles)-sorry......dil se sorry......Rahul took away his hand and folded them around his chest and looked away.

Rah-huh!!

Muskaan thought and thought abt how to bring a smile on Rahul's face.Looking at her condition,Rahul smiled but as soon as Muskaan turned he looked away with his angry look.

Mus-acha batayi main kya karo ki aap mujhe maaf kar de..?hmmm...?

Rah-ye toh tumhe sochna chahiye na.....main kyun batao.....main jaa raha hoon....

Mus-arre Rahul....tchhh.......(to herself)ye Rahul bhi na.......Rahul went and sat in the car.Muskaan followed him and also sat in the navigator's seat.Suddenly an idea clicked her and she smiled.

Mus-toh aap nahi manege...?

Rah(looking the other way)-nahi..

Mus(smiles)-pakka...

Rahul nods.Muskaan went close to him and gave him a slight peck on his cheek and said:

Mus(smiles)-ab..!?

Rahul was stunned and shocked.He turned to look at Muskaan who blushed.Sitting back at her position,she looked outside so that Rahul doesnt see her shying.Blushing himself,Rahul smiled happily and without speaking further,just started the car...

''Haan bol Anjie..''

Anj-Mansi...wo....

Ma-kya baat hai Anjie...pareshaan lag rahi hai?? sab theek hai na..??

Anj-haan wo...

Ma-arre bol na..kya hua??

Anj-Mansi..wo aaj mujhe Rahul mila tha...

Mansi was shocked and stunned.

Ma(shocked)-Rah...Rahul...yaha..delhi mein???

Anj-haan................................................................................................
