PART 14
Re-cap - Anjali/Radhika coming home - RM silly fight- towel scene-Anjali angry- TACOS scene.
Rahul and Atul were in the general ward. Just then a nurse comes to Rahul and tells him to sign the discharge papers of Mr. Mehta.
As he was about to sign 'Ummm...aaj ka date kya hai?'
'24th Oct.' Atul said looking down treating his patient.
'Thanks!' Rahul replied.
(realising) 'Kya!!!! Aaj 24th hai? Iska matlab kal 25th hai????' (shocked) Atul said.
'Haan..toh kya 24th ke baad 26th aayega?'
'Abey Rahul...kal Anjali ka birthday hai..Mar gaya main..bhul kaisa gaya yaar.' Atul cursed himself.
'Kal? Leken Muskaan ne to mujhe kuch nahin bataya..' Rahul asked confused.
But Atul wasnt standing there anymore. He rushed to the nurse station to make a call. when he dashed Armaan.
'Champ..chill..itni jaldi main kyun haii?'
'Arre yaar Armaan..kal Anjali ka birthday hai aur main bhul gaya..woh mujhe mar dalegi.'
'Oh..Atul btw ye acha tareeka hai usse manane ka..lets suprise her! She will be stunned and then all urs!' He said with lively actions.
'Leken Muskaan ne mujhe bataya kyun nahin?' Rahul said again.
'Abey yaar..tu aur tere Muskaan..ab chup kar. ' (Ignoring Rahul's stare) 'Hume kuch acha sochna chaiye.'
'Main pehele Muskaan se baat karta hun..woh stupid ne mujhe yaad hi nahin dilaya.' Atul said.
He called her up.
'Hello.'
'Muskaan ki bachi!' Atul said angrily.
'Abhi tak Muskaan ki bachi huye nahin hai..' She giggled.
'Chup kar..tune mujhe yaad kyun nahin dilaya ke kal Anjali ka birthday hai?'
Muskaan's expression changed. 'Sssssshhhh.' She moved to the balcony. 'Bhaiya..yaad aagaya apko. Mujhe to laga aap bhul hi jayenge. Main aur Radhika uske liye ek suprise plan kar rahen hai. Aap to chod hi do.'
'Muskaan main Anjali ko suprise dunga..tum nahin! Samjhi!'
'Kyun? Woh mere best-friend hai!'
'Muskaan dekh..Anjali mujhse gussa hai na..to main usse suprise dunga aur woh khush ho jayegi aur mujhe maaf kar degi.' He said sweetly to make her understand.
Thinking for a while. 'Hmm..theeke..aap mujhe phone karke batate rahiye.' She hanged up.
Muskaan went outisde to join Anjali and Radhika to make dinner. She wanted to talk to Radhika so badly..but she couldnt as Anjali was also present. Sending Anjali away later..they squeezed in 2 mins to talk and cancelled their suprise waiting to see what Atul planned.
'Ab hum kya karne waale hain?' Rahul asked hesitantly.
'Cake lana padega..flowers..aur ballons..aur candles...' Atul kept blabbering.
'Abey oye hume ghar decorate karne ka time kahan milega?' Armaan said.
'Ya..So lets keep it till cake and flowers.' Rahul added.
'I have one more idea..' Armaan said with sparking eyes.
Rahul and Atul hesiated. 'Armaan..thanku par hume koi ideas nahin chaiye..' Rahul said.
'Ha-an. Chal Rahul..iske ideas sunne behte to meri Anjali Delhi pahunch bhi jayegi.' Atul stammered.
'Guys..ye mera plan iss baar flop nahin hoga..listen to me atleast.'
With sad faces they agreed to listen to him. But suprisingly , they loved the idea. They called up Muskaan to explain everything.
'Hello.' Rahul prayed that it would be Anjali. Armaan and Atul stood next to him praying the same.
There was a sound of breathing. 'Hello' The voice was soft.
'Thank God!'
'Huh? Rahul is that you?'
'Anjali..ya..its me..woh Muskaan kahan hai..??'
'Woh..to kitchen main hai..ruko main bulati hun.'
'Nahin..no need for that. Can you just tell her that I have night duty tonight..aur main kal subah hi ghar aayunga..'
'Oh..okay. No problem.'
'Aur usse kehna ke Atul bhi mere saath hi yahan rahega.'
'Wha..? Atul bhi wahin..uski bhi duty hai kya?'
'Nahin..usne kaha ke woh wahan akele bore ho jayega..so..' (crossing fingers)
'Okay..main usse keh dunge. (disappointed) bye.' She kept the phone.
Rahul also kept the phone giving a sad look.
'Kya hua?' Atul asked tensed. Armaan looked on.
'Woh maan gaye..' They hit Rahul..laughed and hi-fied each other. 'Aur kafi upset bhi hogaye.' There were huge grins on all 3 faces. They're plan was finally working.
'Aaj main apni Anjali ko bahut khush kar dunga.'
Armaan and Rahul patted him and they left to buy all the stuff.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Kya hua Anjali? Kiska phone tha?' Eyeing her curiously.
'Woh Rahul ka..aaj uski night duty hai.' She replied dully.
'Oh..leken bhaiya to dinner pe aa rahen hai na..?'
'Atul bhi nahin aa raha hai..' She said sadly.
'Wow..iska matlab we can have our old times girl's night!' Radhika said happily.
'Yeah.' Anjali forced a smile.
'Sab theek to hai na Anjali?' Muskaan asked purposley.
'Haan Muskaan.' She smiled , this time genuine.
'Kyun na hum ek horror film dekhen?' Radhika suggested.
'Awsome..main popcorn banate hun.' Muskaan said.
'Great..main change karke aate hun.' Anjali went inside. As the door shut,
'Im feeling so bad.' Radhika said sadly.
'Me too..but dont worry..bhaiya keh rahe the kuch to suprise hai..to lets see. Im sure woh Angie ko bahut khush kar denge.' Muskaan added.
'Great..abhii tak bahut time hai..lets see the movie till then.' Radhika said.
All three of them changed and sat on the bed with a big bowl of buttered popcorn..and juices; the room chilled with the AC.
'Muskaan mujhe tujhse kuch puchna tha..' Radhika said.
'Haan puch na..'
'Tere aur Rahul ke beech main sab theek hai na?'
Anjali and Muskaan both looked up.
'Haan..kyun?' Muskaan fiddled with her tshirt.
'Tum dono abhi bhi waise hi ladte ho..and..you know..mujhe fikar ho rahe hai.'
Muskaan was touched. Radhika never was intrested in anybody's personal life..even Muskaan's or Angie's. 'Humare beech......ab tak......' She trailed off.
'Muskaan kya hua?' Anjali touched her hand.
'Pata nahin yaar..confuse-shunfuse hun main.' Muskaan said looking down.
Radhika and Anjali looked at each other. 'Confuse kis liye?' Radhika asked.
Muskaan remained quite. 'Mujhe iss bare main baat nahin karni..'
They became quite.
'Waise..Rahul ne tumse kuch kaha kya?'
Radhika had a startled expression on her face. 'Nahin aisa kuch nahin hai..'
'Ab bata bhi do Rads...tum bilkul jhoot nahin bol sakti.'
'Usne sirf kaha ke tum dono ab tak utne bhi close nahin huye ho..you know..'
Muskaan had a disguted expression. 'Woh tumse aakar..main..'
'Chill Muskaan. Maine hi usse pucha. Usne to kaha ke sab theek hai..par maine usse yeh nikalva diya..Im sorry. I was just worried.'
'Radhika? Worried? ' She rolled her eyes. 'Is liye tum Rahul ke saath itna flirt kar rahi thi?'
'Muskaan!' Anjali said.
Radhika shook her head. 'Muskaan how can you even think this way..main aur Rahul ? Paagal ho gaye ho kya?' She rolled her eyes and hit Muskaan on the head. 'And anyways..I have someone else.'She said fiddling with the CD cover.
'Whaaaatttt?' Anjali screamed. Muskaan had the same expression.
Muskaan jumped and sat beside Radhika. 'Kaun hai wooooooh???????'
'Muskaan..chill..chalo movie start ho gaye.' She changed the topic and went and sat on the bed ignoring her friends curious stares.
Muskaan sat in the centre while Radhika and Anjali were beside her. They had the bed-sheet up till their knees piercing their nails into it staring at the movie. The ghost had a close-up which was like a 3D movie where it was like the ghost was coming on to their faces. Screaming they covered their faces with the sheet.
'Tum dono..ch-up kar-oge pl-ea-se.' Muskaan stammered. 'Buildi-ing waale comp-lain kar denge.'
'Muj-he ye pic-tur-e nah-in de-khne.' Radhika stammered too.
Agreeing they shut the movie.
'Itni bakwaas picture thi yeh bhi..sab tera idea tha..stupid Radhika.' Muskaan blabbered.
'Maine kya kiya? Tum dono agree kiya na.'
'Guys..Im shivering..talk something to calm me down.' Anjali said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atul Rahul and Armaan were at the cake shop.
'Aapke paas chocolate flavoured cake hai?' Atul asked the person at the counter.
'Aye strawberry bol na..Muskaan ko chocolate nahin bhata.'Rahul said.
Atul rolled his eyes. 'Abe Anjali ka birthday hai ya Muskaan ka? Daddu.' Armaan slapped Rahul on the head.
'Haan..par main to..' Rahul defended.
'Waise kya chal raha tum dono ke beech?' Armaan asked taking Rahul to the corner. 'Aaj kal bada Muskaan-Muskaan kar raha hai?'
'Kuch bhi to nahin...'
Mean-while the man asked Atul what was to be written on the cake.
'Haan..likho..Happy Birthday Anjali.' He said with actions. As the man was about to write.
'Nahin ruko..tum aise start karo..Im sorry Anjali..main jaanta hun tum mujhse bahut naraz ho..par..tum yeh bhi jaante ho ke main tumse kitna pyaar kart hun..aur tumhare bina je nahin sakta..tum mera dil ho..mere jaan ho..tum sab kuch ho..'
The man gave wierd looks to Atul.
Rahul heard all this. 'Abey oyye Atul..tu message likh raha hai ya poem? Poem likhne hai to paper pe likh kar de. Idiot.'
Armaan giggled while Atul became sad.
Rahul went to the man. 'Ummm' After much thought, 'Aap likhiye Happy Birthday My Angel. Aur neeche I love you.'
Atul caught his heart and stood numb. 'Mere dost mere bhai..tu apni bhabhi se pyaar karta hai..ye sunne se pehle main mar kyun nahin gaya?'
Rahul sighed while Armaan slapped his head. 'Dharmender jaise acting karna band kar.'
Rahul paid for the cake and handed the box to Atul. 'Apni taraf se dena..gussa do second main gayab ho jayega.'
'Mujhe pata tha..tu mera sabse acha dost hai.' He hugged Rahul.
'Main bhi to hun..' Armaan said from behind.
'Haan yaar..tu bhi toh hai.' They all hugged.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All 3 of them sat talking still shivering. Even the minute sound would scare them out of their wits. Radhika and Anjali were advicing Muskaan on Rahul and how close they should be..and what was marriage..and commitment...Muskaan was about to die of embarssment. The window creaked and all of them screamed hugging together and sitting covered with the sheets completely. They relaxed after a few minutes pulling the sheet away.
'Anjali..dara kyun rahe hai..' Radhika screamed.
'Maine kya kiya..ye Mus-kaan chi-la-ye thi..' She stammered. Before Muskaan could say something..the lights went off.
With shocked expressions they again got back to the same position sticking together chanting gods name. There were loud bangs on the door. They looked at each other terrified. So much happened that Muskaan and Radhika forgot that Atul was planning a suprise. They eve forgot it was Anjali's birthday.
'God I wish Atul yahan hota..' Anjali said.
'Kash Rahul yahan hota..' Muskaan muttered.
'Kaash Prithvi yahan hota?' Radhika said.
'What?????' Anjali and Muskaan said together.
'Wow..Uska naam Prithivi hai..hayee so cute!' Muskaan giggled.
'Muskaan shut up! Aise situation tu has rahe hai..' Radhika scolded.
Suddenly the door stopped banging and the sound of it opening came.
'Oh no..koi hume marne aaya hai..babaji bachalo..' Muskaan mumbled.
'What? Muskaan...' Anjali said.
'Simply ri-di-culous' Radhika stammered.
Muskaan 's phone vibrated. It was a message..she read it. It was Rahul's. 'Its us.' She relaxed and showed it to Radhika. They nodded. Anjali's eyes were still closed.
There was a bursting sound and then the screaming sound of 'Happy Birthday Anjali.'
A shocked Anjali looked up to see the lights on with Atul Armaan Rahul Radhika and Muskaan standing there and singing for her.
'Ye sab....??' She asked confused.
Atul went and sat beside her. 'Happy Birthday Anjali.' he said the cute Atul way. He handed over a gift-wrapped box and an envelope. 'Ye poem maine tumhare liye likhi hai.' (blushin) Aur ye suprise maine plan kia..ab to tum mujhse angry nahin ho na..'
Anjali had tears in her eyes. She tried to wipe them away without anybody noticing.
'Anjali tum ro kyun rahe ho..please ro mat..tumhe mera suprise acha nahin laga? Main...'
But she cut him off with a hug. Not leaving him for almost 5 mins..not saying anything too.
Muskaan smiled and looked down. Rahul looked at her. He admired the very different smile on Muskaan's face. It was more sweeter and more mature..making it more special.
All of them went out to the hall to cut the cake. Anjali was so happy to see the cake..she thanked Atul for everything..the suprise..flowers..cake. They again hugged and Atul winked at Armaan and Rahul. They smiled and nodded back.
Armaan and Radhika started speaking..so that left Rahul and Muskaan alone.
'Tum sab ne to hume dara hi diya..'
'I know..baut mazza aaya aaj to..' Rahul answered. 'Im glad Atul aur Anjali ke beech ab sab theek hai..finally.'
'Hmm..' Muskaan said as she lit the candles on the cake. Anjali stood in the centre with Atul.
Anjali blew the candles on the cake. As she was about to cut it.
'Guys ek favour chaiye..main chahti hun ke hum sab ye cake ko cut karen.'
'Anjali aaj tumhara b'day hai..tum aur Atul kaaton na..' Rahul said.
'Rahul..tum sab ne mere liye itna kuch kiya..its so sweet of u all. Tum deserve karte ho..please.'
All of them smiled. Anjali was holding the knife ; Atul kept his hand over her ; then Radhika kept ; then Armaan; Muskaan. Rahul was feeling too hesitant to keep his hands over Muskaan's. But he just touched it. They cut the first piece together and all of them moved their hands away to leave AA alone. They sang the birthday song again while AA cut the cake.
Anjali offered the first piece to Atul..while Armaan was taking a picture.
'Haiyee main mar javan...so cuteeee!' Muskaan said doing the vari-vari thing for AA.
Rahul pulled her back as Armaan was taking the picture. She grumbled.
She then offered a piece to Radhika and Armaan. And the last was RM. They shared a piece. Radhika winked at Anjali who winked back.
Muskaan took a piece and was about to smear it on Anjali's face..when Rahul pulled her back..again.
'Muskaan jungliyon jaise harkate mat karna..'
'Oyye mere friend hai..tujhse matlab..?' She mumbled angrily.
'Muskaan please.' He stressed.
She threw the cake on the plate. 'Hmph!' They saw that Radhika and Armaan were feeding a piece to Anjali.
'Kya main usse cake khila sakti hun agar apki permission ho meri pati dev?' She said sweetly.
Rahul smiled. 'Thats a new one. Go ahead. Mere patni devi.' Muskaan gave a wierd look while Rahul burst out laughing.
'Ye koi word nahin hota..' Angrily seeing him laugh.
He continued laughing. 'As you say..har word ka male aur feminine gender.'
'Iska nahin hai..' Shouting.
'Nahin hoga..par tumhare liye sahi hai..Ms. Devi' he said rolling his eyes.
'Rahul tum na..'
'Okay this was really stupid. Pata nahin kiska asar ho raha hai mujhpar aaj kal...' Rahul grinned. She gave him evil looks. 'Cake khilao na.'
They both put their hand in the plate on the same piece. Argument was expected but that didnt happen. Suprised they looked at each other..they got out of the trance as Anjali stood in front of them.
Muskaan smiled and they offered her a piece.
Anjali hugged Muskaan and Rahul and said thanks again and went to Armaan.
Rahul smiled. 'Im sorry.'
'Kiske liye?' (Curiously)
'Bas aise hi.'
Armaan came to them. 'hey Rahul-Muskaan..ek picture!' There was a flash and startled they looked at Armaan. 'Wow kya picture hai..natural pose.'
It was a picture of RM facing each other smiling. Armaan showed the picture to everybody and they all teased Rahul Muskaan...meanwhile they tried to sort out their feelings for each other.
