Part 4:
Sanya was out of the house and Muskaan was alone. She loved being alone once in a while, she just wanted to drown herself in her dreams and never wake up. She started day dreaming about her letter friend to be the hottest guy alive, the sweetest person who always took care of her, never looking at anyone beside her, never having any girlfriend, and also thinking that she was the one made for him. She was somehow prepared to not get a reply from him, and for this to end right here, but she still kept on dreaming and thinking positive.
She was on her bed with a teddy bear in her hand cuddling it, listening to Haan tu Hain on her ipod. Now this song just meant something completely different to her. This was the song that was written on her first letter. She knew this song did mean something, and it would lead to something in her life.
She was eager to know more about her friend, she wanted to call him, talk to him, know his likes and dislikes, she knew his address but she had no guts to drive till there and face him. He also knew her address, what if he comes here one day and sees her? What if he expected much much more from her? Muskaan drifted those thoughts away from her mind and started thinking more about the positive things. Finally she was beginning to realize that this guy might be the one made for her, or did she watch too much of dil toh pagal hai, and there was no such thing as Somewhere someone is made for you.
She got up and went to check her mailbox, hardly hoping for there to be a letter for her except bills. But there was, exactly with the same handwriting. She stayed outside and sat on the stairs, she opened it and started reading.
Khushi, mujhe pata hai ki tumhare letters par ke yeh naam tere liye perfect hai. I can imagine you right now laying on your bed dreaming about your prince with a smile on your face. Am I right?
Muskaan was shocked, that's exactly what she did just before reading this letter, she continued reading.
Hmmm you are one of a kind you know that? Maine aaj tak kabhi aise ladki se nahin mila hoon jo ek rajkumar ke bare main sochti hain. Im being really honest here ki main ek rajkumar nahin hoon aur kabhi ban bhi nahin sakta, but so what we can still be friends right? No no mere shaadi nahin hui hai, maine bhi kuch sal pehle college khatam kiya hai, aur main shaadi atleast dus saal baad karunga.
Don't worry tum bilkul pagal nahin sound karti ho, actually you seem quiet sweet, and thank god ki tum ek chotti si bachi nahin ho, pata nahin mera kya hota phir. And you are right, hum secret friends nahin rahi ab, isiliye ab se tumhara naam Khushi hai, aur tum mujhe.... I dunno kuch bhi stupid sa naam de sakti ho. Soo tumhara email address kya hai? We can email each other also right or talk on the phone? I really want to know you more, isiliye main puch raha hoon, agar tumhe koi problem hai then we can just continue writing letters, I don't mind. Mujhe pata nahin ki main aur kya likhun.... So will you reply? Hum kitne alag hai na? Phir bhi pata nahin coincidence se humne ek dusre ko letters likna shuru kiya, im still shocked ki tumhe woh letter milla. Haan tu hai haan tu hai mere baaton main tu hai, mere yaadon main khwabon main tu irradon main tu hain.
Tumhara dost.
Sorry I know that sounds bad but mujhe nahin pata tha ki main aur kya likhun.
Muskaan had such a big smile on her face now, he might not be a prince but he was someone special.
Muskaan: idiot isko toh haan tu hai kya lyrics bhi nahin pata hai, mere khwaabon main yaadon main tu hai. Aur yeh English aur hindi ko mix kyun kar raha tha? Tum bilkul pagal sound nahin karti ho, actually you seem quiet sweet.... he also seems quiet sweet...arrey main pagal ho jaungi, abhi toh mujhe isse aur baat karne ka man kar raha hai! Ughhhhhh.
Flashback:
Rahul read the letter of Muskaans, and in a way he wanted to just trash it because he knew this girl is mad, she will never come out of her dreams, and he wanted to end it right here. But then he thought of just writing one more letter, then he will finish it off. If he gets a reply then hes not going to reply back. With this thought he started to write the letter, and even though he never realized that she was actually quiet sweet, he still wrote it down. And why did he care if she was a small girl or an old grandma? He wasn't planning on marrying her right? Still he wrote that down. While he was writing he realized all these feelings that came inside, and trying very hard not to think like that. He finished the letter, and posted it off, without Akshay being there to annoy him.
Present:
She got up from there and went in her room, adding this letter to her collection now. She then took the stuff to write the letter in the kitchen. She hopped on the counters, crossed her legs and leaned back on the windows, first closing her eyes and gathering her thoughts, then whatever came to her mind she started to write.
When she halfway done, but her phone rang. It was an unknown number...
Muskaan: Hello?
Rahul: Muskaan? Hii... Rahul here...
Muskaan: Ohhh rahul, hii kaise ho?
Rahul: Yeah, theek hoon, tu kaise hai?
Muskaan: Fine, fine... hmm sanya ne mera number diya?
Rahul: Uhh haan.... woh main aaj movie dekhne ja raha tha.... So wondering if you want to come?
Muskaan almost choked on the water she was drinking.
Muskaan: What? Movie? Tum aur main? Kaunsi movie? Kab? Aaj? No.. main...
Rahul: Nooooo you got it all wrong, maine sanya aur akshay ko bhi bola hai, lekin woh tumhare saath is waqt nahin hai na, isiliye usne bola ki maine tumhe bhi phone karlun.
Muskaan: Ohhh... sorry, I thought you were asking me out..
Rahul: hahaha, I don't mind....
Muskaan: Shut up!
Rahul: Im just jokingg, so tum aaogi na?
Muskaan: Yeaa cool, par uhmm... sanya? Woh phirse shuru ho jayegi! Aur Akshay? Godd woh kitna flirt karta haaii!
Rahul: Haan im really sorry about that day, hes desperate! Don't worry, tum aur main alag behtenge, aur sanya uske saath beht sakti hai, really I wont let him do that again, I promise.
Muskaan: haha thankss, so see you tonight? Waise kaunsi movie peh ja rahe hain?
Rahul: New York.
Muskaan Wahhhh John! Eeeeee.... I love john Rahul, hes soo hot, uska body ahhhh stupid bipasha uske saath kyun hai agar main hoti.... Oh shit. Rahul sorry main thoda zyaada excited ho gayi thi.... uhmm okay then bye...?
Rahul: Okay then.....bye, see you.
Muskaan kept the phone and continued writing her letter. When she finished, she hopped down the counter, and went in her room, choosing what to wear. Her closet was such a mess, she could barely see what was in there. She took out a whole pile of clothes and sat on the bed, taking each top and folding it nicely, she came across a simple white and pink top which she put aside to wear tonight. She was still finishing up when sanya came back.
Sanya: Eyyy Muskk, Rahul ne tujhe phone kiya?
Muskaan: Hii sanya, kaisi hai? Kahan thi tu? Sanya main bhi theek hoon.
Sanya: Ahh sorry... Hi musk, kaise hai? Rahul ne tujhe phone kiya?
Muskaan: Haan kiya.
Muskaan pretended to be not interested, and not letting sanya tease her again.
Sanya: Toh tu chal rahi hai na?
Muskaan: I duno..
Sanya: I duno? Tujhe chalna parega..
Muskaan: Dekhti hoon... mood kaisa hoga.
Sanya: Mood vood kuch nahin, tu chal rahi hai bas.
Muskaan: Idiot main mazaak kar rahi thi, ofcourse main chal rahi hoon, afterall john ka movie hai.
Sanya: Goood!
Muskaan: Lekin, San im warning you, agar tune phirse mujhe Rahul ke samne embarrass kiya na, phir tu dekh main tujhe kitna marungi na.
Sanya: haan haan theek hai, nahin karungi.
Muskaan: lets see, okay kitne baje ka show hai?
Sanya: Hum night show main ja rahe hain, 12 o clock.
Muskaan: Kya? Itna late? Main toh wahi pe so jaungi.
Sanya: I know, lekin aaj hi relese hua hai na, isiliye house full tha.
Muskaan: Oh no...
Sanya: But its okay... tujhe sona hai tu sohja, main toh puri picture dekhne wali hoon, john joh hai.
Muskaan: Ey ey ey, door re, john mera hai, tujhe chahiye toh tu neal ko leh sakti hai, I don't mind.
Sanya: Eww neal nitin mukesh? Yuck! Isse acha hai ki main single reh jaon.
Muskaan: Hahah, ab toh sirf 6 baje hain, 12 tak hum kya karenge?
Sannya: I duno, Rahul humhe 7 baje pick up karne a raha hai, pata nahin kahan chal rahe hai hum.
Muskana: Whaattt 7 baje? Toh iska yeh matlab hai ki mujhe sirf ek gantha hai tayar hone main? oh god, aur main yahan gape mar rahi hoon. Move sanya, tub hi tayar ho ja.
Sanya: Haan okay.
Sanya and muskaan both went and got ready, and soon they heard a horn by the door.
Sanya: Ohhh crappp rahul a gaya! Shitt main toh abhi tak tayaar hi nahin hui hoon, dekh mus, tu ja uske saath main akshay ko phone karti hoon, woh mujhe pick kar lega.
Muskaan: What? Sanya, main kaise....? Dekh tu tayaar hai, its okay hum sirf movie ke liye ja rahe hain.
Sanya: Muskkkkkkkkkkaaan chup kar! Please mere baal to dekh, ek jangli janwaar ke tara hain, aur tu keh rahi hai ki main tayaar hoon? Ja naaaaa, rahul wait kar raha hai!
Muskaan: Sanyaaaaaaaaa!
Sanya: I lovee you too muskaan, now goo.
Muskaan didn't have a choice but to go to rahul, she saw him in the car waiting for her. She went and sat in the front.
Muskaan: Hii
Rahul: Hi, sanya kahan hai?
Muskaan: Woh abhi tak tayaar nahin hai..... You know her na... usne bola ki woh akshay ko phone lar legi, woh usse pick up kar lega.
Rahul: Okay cool. So you want music?
Muskaan: Yeah sure.
Rahul turned on the music and right then Haan tu hain started playing.
Rahul: Wow I love this song!
Muskaan turned her face and stared at rahul shocked.
Rahul: Kya hua? Tumhe yeh gana pasand nahin hai?
Muskaan: Oh.. nahin.. no.. kuch nahin.. sorry.... kuch yaad a gayi. Its nothing....
Rahul: Okay.... still I can change the song if you want.
Muskaan: No.... mujhe bhi yeh gana pasand hai.
Rahul: Good, so movie toh 12 baje hain... abhi kahan chalna hai?
Muskaan: Hmmm I don't know.... anywhere I don't really mind...
Rahul: You like ice cream?
Muskaan: I loveee ice cream!
Rahul: Hahah okay so baskin robbins idhar hi paas mein hain, wahan pe ek chohta sa park bhi hai so lets just chill there jab tak sanya aur akshay a jaye okay?
Muskaan: Yea perfect.
They reach the ice cream place and get two cones of chocolate chip ice cream, and they started to walk towards the park.
Muskaan: Rahul..... waise...ladke hamesha hindi aur English mix karke baat kyun karte hain?
Rahul: Whaat? What do you mean?
Muskaan: Look for example, abhi abhi tune gari main mere saath ek hi sentence main hindi aur English bola, jaise ki jab tune bola ki wahan pe ek chohta sa park hai so lets just chill there jab tak sanya aur akshay a jaye, ab tu ek hi language kyun nahin baat kar sakta?
Rahul: Wow random topic.... well..... I duno.. aisi hi naturally hi aa jata hain...
Muskaan:Exactly, abhi abhi tune bola well I duno aisi hi naturally a jata hain... I dunno English hai, aisi hi hindi hai, naturally English hai, and then hi aa jata hai hindi hai... yaar guys are so confusing, ek hi baat bolo na, tum log ek hi sentence mein doh teen languages bol dete ho.
They reached the park and went to sit on the swings, still eating their ice cream, there were many people there but mostly kids.
Muskaan: So as I was saying... mera ek dusra..... uhh.... friend.. haan ek dusra friend bhi hai... joh exactly teri tara baat karta hain.... kabhi hindi, kabhi English... phir hindi, phir wapas se English.
Rahul: Haan so as if you don't do that.
Muskaan: No I don't... main pura sentence ek hi language main bolti hoon.
Rahul: Okay... lekin ab hum school ke grammer class main nahin hain na? Toh hum iske bare main kyun baat kar rahe hain?
Muskaan: I dunno.. aise hi.. okay anyways... So... ek baat batao.. tumhari kitni girlfriends hain?
Rahul: Abhi toh nahin hai, lekin last week ek thi.. aur uske pehle bhi, aur uske pehle bhi.. aur uske pehle....
Muskaan: Arreyy! Tumhari har hafte main ek nayi girlfriend hoti hain?
Rahul: Yuppp, pehle dolly, phir piya, then roshni, and kajal, and I dunno... too many to count.
Muskaan: So tumhe pyaar kissi se hua?
Rahul: Nah... koi aisi milli hi nahin, jisse main pyaar karun.
Muskaan: Lekin tumhare zindagi main itne sare ladkiya aayi hain, ek se bhi nahin?
Rahul: Nope... they were just affairs... not love. And anyways.... Mujhe pyaar vyaar ke chakar main nahin parna hain...
Muskaan: Hmm.... agar tumhare itne sare girlfriends the, toh akshay ke kitne honge, woh toh tumse bhi zyaada flirt karta hain....
Rahul: haan akshay toh kuch zyaada hi flirt karta hain, but phir bhi we are good friends. So tumhe kitne boyfriends hain?
Muskaan: Ek bhi nahin.
Rahul: What? You serious?
Muskaan: Yup... main timepass ke liye boyfriends nahin dhunti...
Rahul: Kabhi kissi se pyaar nahin hua?
Muskaan: Abhi tak toh nahin...
Rahul: Wow...
Muskaan: Hmm I can see you are shocked... lekin sab ladkiyaan tumhare tara nahin sochte...
Rahul: That's true.
Muskaan: So suppose ki ek ladki tumse pyaar karti hain, kya tum sirf uske saath time pass karke uska dil todoge?
Rahul: Noo, I hate hurting girls, main aisa kabhi nahin karta... yeh sab girlfriends joh the, unka dil maine nahin thoda, unhe pata hi ki im not serious about them so they don't expect anything from me. Jab main bol deta hoo ki im breaking up, so they understand.
Muskaan: Lekin agar woh ladki sach main tumse pyaar karti hain, she wont understand this rahul....
Rahul: I know... But...
Then rahuls phone started to ring, and it was akshay, he told him that they were at the cinema, and they luckily got tickets fort he 9 o clock show.
Rahul: Chal, akshay ko tickets mil gaye, picture abhi 15 minute main shuru ho rahi hain.
Muskaan: Okay.. chal.
In the car:
Muskaan: Haan toh main keh rahi thi... ki agar woh ladki tumse sach main pyaar karegi, toh woh nahin chahegi ki tu usse sirf ek time pass ke liye use kare, phir usse agle hafte chod de.
Rahul: Muskaan, hum iske bare main kyun baat kar rahe hain? Aaj tak kabhi koi aisi ladki meri zindagi main nahin aayi jiske bare me main serious hoon...
Muskaan: Don't worry, woh jald aa jayegi.
Rahul: You think so?
Muskaan: Yuppp
Rahul: Anyways.... So phone pe toh laga ki tu bahaut excited hai yeh movie dekhne ke liye?
Muskaan: Haann John Abraham jo hain, agar bipasha uski zindagi main nahin hoti toh main zaroor hoti, aur phir hum dono shaadi karte, aur hum dono filmo saath saath kaam karte, haiiiii lekin meri phooti kismat, aaj tak maine usse sirf tv pe dekha hai, toh shaadi toh duur ki baat hai.
Rahul couldn't help smiling, muskaan didn't seem like the reserved, shy type girl that she looked like. Muskaan just realized that she wasn't talking to sanya, but it was rahul.
Muskaan: Ughhh phirse! Jab bhi koi john ka naam leta hai na, main bahaut excited ho jaati hoon, aur mujhe yeh realize nahin hota ki main kisse baat kar rahi hoon, pata nahin main apni aur john ki shaadi ke bare mein tumse kyun baar kar rahi hoon.
Rahul: No no... acha hai, waise mujhe toh laga tha ki tum bahuaut quiet type ladki ho, us din lunch par tum kitni chup chap behti thi.
Muskaan: Sanya ke samne sab ko aisa hi lagta hai, woh bak bak karti rehte hai, karti rehte hai, chup lena ka naam hi nahin... aur us din toh woh mujhe itna embarrass kar rahi thi ki mujhe kuch kehna ka man hi nahin tha, aur phir akshay! Ughhhh that day was just messed up.
Rahul: Haan woh toh hai, sanya hai meri cousin lekin jab main uske saath hota hoon toh uska mu kabhi band hi nahin hota. Yea I realized ki tu akshay ke samne thoda uncomfortable feel kar rahi thi, lekin its okay... aaj woh aisa nahin karega.
Muskaan: Lets hope.
