Part 8
Anjali sat there thinking to herself moving her index finger tip through the entire circumference of the glass kept in front of her and some thoughts entangled her mind so much so that she felt silence all around her and just the spirit of friendship talking to her. She involved herself deep into these thoughts to analyse whether what was done was right and if not then why is it ridhima and armaan who are suffering: dad ye sahi to kar rahe hain na,I mean ridzi loves armaan and armaan is not that bad a guy afterall, infact he is the best dad can find for ridzi and he understands ridzi better than anyone of us. He knows it so damn well. He loves her more than anyone of us does. He can even sacrifice his own life just for her fake smile to reach her eyes. He can feel her when she is not ven near him but in another corner of the place. Dad ko lagta hai that love is just not enough for one to lead a good life, one needs more so how can one make him understand that armaan has it all .infact dad hardly knows ki his so called material things and money matters are just sweet nothings for armaan. He is worth much more than all dad owns . Be it ridzi's wish for the smallest thing on earth or the most expensive thing existing he fulfills them all. It always seems like her wish is his command. He knows when ridzi is unwell or when she has missed sleep for a case study even before we do. He understands her cravings for chocolates and icecreams which she definitely has like no other. He knows that she is one person on this earth who has a lot of girlish moodswings. At one moment she wants to have a chocolate icecream and the other her wish is for something which has mouthburning spices. He is the one to fulfill all her wishes,he knows that she loves icecreams infact she can just hog on them and he also knows her love for fresh flowers, soft toys and chocolates. He feeds her with as many icecreams as she wants and he loads the house with chocolates and fragrant flowers whenever she is feeling sad or sounding down and just leave all this to add more he has the perfect sixth sense which can tell him where, when, what and how of everything concerning ridhima. He spends hours with her on the phone trying to console her sniffs and sobs which usually even iritate me and sometimes disturb dad and then even get a scolding from his seniors for not completing his case study. Even after being on that end of the line he can always make out ridzy's expression and can even guess when I mischeivously attend his call on ridzi's account and try to let out the same sigh which ridzy always lets out when attending his call and that totally turns him on. Is it not love? I mean simply anyone can guess it. And how can ridzi be ever so sacrificing I mean though I haven't confessed to atul yet if dad would have asked me to do similar thing like ridzi I never would have. I mean how can one just live without true love. And I am all the more shocked with armaan's behaviour, I thought him to be a brave man but he is even more sensitive than ridz. How can he be so respectful, selfless and caring to a man who is stealing away his life, hats off to him. I will need to talk to dad about it. And dad he has never acted as coldly, I mean how can he be just so rude about armaan, what's wrong in him, he is nowhere close to perfection instead he is perfect. Such caring feelings over which one can go all crazy, damn chisseled body with the perfectly curved muscles , looks no less than a greek god and sense of humour can leave even the greatest grave of this planet in splits of laughter. He can definitely leave any girl jaw dropped asking for more. Such bright sharp features that he is like every girl's dream, girls don't need to be after him they need to run after him and he is crazily in love with ridzy which I don't know why no one can realize. Anyone can fall for him. Even I would have if I would not come to know about ridzi's relationship with him at the right time.
Here comes our champ, atul
Atul: hey anjali, tum itni udaas kyun lag rahi ho
Anjali:hey atul, comeon have a seat, vo na main kuch pareshaan thi
Atul:anjali kyun kya hua tum jaanti ho na ki mujhe ekdum acha nahi lagta ki tum pareshaan ho
Anjali: I know atul but this is just too serious to be discussed
Atul: I understand anjali, acha anjali main sirf tumhaare liye ek gaana gaun
Anjali was about to refuse but she just couldn't instead she nodded in a yes
Atul: kabhi kabhi anjali zindagi mein yuhin koi apna lagta hai
Kabhi kabhi anjali vo bichad jaaye to ek sapna lagya hai
Aise mein koi kaise apne aansuon ko behne se roke
Aur kaise koi soch le every thing's gonna be okay
Anjali: she lightly caressed his cheek with her palm
Anjali: how sweet atul, tum mera kitna khayal rakhta ho, you really are a very good friend, I hope duniya mein sabke paas tumhaare jaisa sweet sa friend hota.
Atul: don't worry anjali tumhaara ye friend tumhe chodkar kabhi nahi jaayega aur vaise bhi maine to sabki care karna armaan se sikha hai . vo kabhi kisi ko dukhi nahi dekh pata na aur sab yahan tak ki tumbhi use itni impressed rehti ho.
Anjali: chale atul
