~Jab Lurve Hua Part 252~

~Mayank's place~
Sonali:(murmured as she held Mahi's hand)Yeh yaha kar kya raha hai?
Mayank:Come in Raj..
Raj:Mayank,i'm so sorry but i took the liberty to get the airline tickets for Khushi,Niyati and Nidhi..I..(paused)Mahi???Sonu???Tum dono aur yahaa??
Sonali:(grinned sheepishly)Hehe,what a coincidence na Mahi?Raj bhi yahaa aur hum bhi..
Niharika:Of course..Mahi aur Sonu ko maine dinner ke liye invite kiya tha...But you're absolutely welcome for dinner too!!
Raj:Thanks,but i already had my dinner..(Niharika's smile vanished)
Mahi:(murmurd)Humaara Raj ko kya hua hain?Woh thodi na itni jaldi khaana khaata hain?
Sonali:(murmured back)Precisely!!Kuch toh baat zaroor hain..(turned to Raj)Uffo Raj,join us for company,na..
Mayank:Yeahh join us and you'll get your work done too!!
Raj:Alright!!
Mayank:Nihu,ek aur plate lekar aana..
Niharika:Mm hmm..(went inside the kitchen,fidgeting under her breath)What the hell is his prob anywayzz??Agar kuch khaayeha toh kya ho jaayega??(heard Mayu voicing out for her)Aati hoon,ek minute!!(joined them at the dining table;smiled at Raj who simply ignored her)
Raj:Ermm..(stopped Niharika from serving)Rehne do,main khud le lunga..(took the plate from her and served on his plate)
Sonali:(wispered)Did you see that?
Mahi:(whispered back)Niharika ko humaare Raj se..
Sonali:Arre haan...Pyaar ho gayi hain Nihar ko!!
Mahi:But how can we be so sure??
Sonali:Uffo,shuruvat toh aisi hi hoti hain..Just watch,k?
Mahi:What?(Sonali gestured to her to keep mum)
Sonali:Raj,try this..It's Rajma stew!!ONe of your favourite dishes you love na?
Raj:Ohh yeah...(took a bit and tasted;Nihar looked at Raj,hoping that he liked it)
Sonali:Kaisa hai?
Raj:Achi hain..Par..
Mahi:Par kya?
Raj:Actually Niyati sse bhi zyaada achi Rajma banaati hain..Aur meri naani bhi toh hain!!
Mahi:I see...(murmured to Sonali)What an i exactly supposed to see?
Sonali:(got amused)Niharika's irked b Raj and now she'll divert to some other topic instead!!
Niharika:Mayu,what did i tell you?
Mayank:What?
Niharika:No official papers of any kind on the dining table,especially during dinner..(Raj noticed the irritation in her tone;Mahi glanced at Sonali who raised her eyebrows repeatedly at her)
Raj:Ok,it's just a signature which will only take a few seconds..
Niharika:Mr Raj Malhotra,please don't interfere between me or Mayank!!
Mayank:Ok Nihu,i've kept the papers aside..
Niharika:Good!!Ab khaana khaao aur meri baat suno..Mayank,aaj main sach much bohat khush hoon ki Mahi humaare ghar par aayi hai..Jaise humaare ghar mein roshni badhgayi ho..(Mahi felt quite blur and looked at Sonu who raised both of her shoulders and shook her head)I'm so proud of you for having fallen for amazing girl like Mahi and tonight,i've gotten to know that she'll keep you happy forever!!
Mayank:Nihu..
Mahi:(was freaked from within)Forever???(looked at Sonu who gestured to her to keep calm)
Niharika:Life is very short to waste days away,Mayu..I really love Manhi and...Gosh,how should i put it in words??I don't know if i'll be around for long if you keep waiting and wasting your time away..I want both of you to take your relationship to the next level...
Mahi:Uhh what exactly do you mean,Nihar??
Niharika:Mahi,Mayank..Get engaged to each other!!(Mayank almost choked on his food;Raj offered him a glass of water and tried to stifle his grin)
Raj:You've got to be kiddine me about this?!!
Mahi:(whispered)Get me out of this mess or else i..
Sonali:(held Mahi's hand to calm her)Niharika,what's the hurry?Just look at both of them..They've just accepted their relation in public recently...
Mayank:(murmured)Thanks to some idiot who leaked it out to the press..
Niharika:And i'm truly grateful to the person who did that..If not for the individual,both of you wouldn't even acknowledge or respect your relation in the proper sense..Such workaholics,i tell ya Sonali...And by the way,you two love each othe,what are you waiting for??
Sonali:But isn't it way too fast??They're only beginning to understand each other..It takes time na,Niharika...
Niharika:(murmured)Gosh,time is exactly what i don't have!!
Raj:Why do you not have the time??(looked at Niharika who glared at him)Bolo..
Niharika:Sonali,come on..I'm just putting a simple request,which will only remind both of them of their responsibilities towards each other apart from work,which is their top priority nowadays...
Mayank:Nihu,meri baat sunn..Hum dono ne abhi tak iss baarein mein socha tak nahin..
Niharika:Nahin socha hain toh ab soch..Mayu,tum toh kabhi iss maamle mein nahin sochte ho..Iss liye maine yeh baat abhi rak diya hain..Hameshaa main hi tumhaare kal ke baarein mein sochthi aayi hoon...Tum kabhi bhi mujhe aone aansoon nahin dikhaaoge par main jaanti hoon ki tumhaare liye kitne mushkil ho rahaa hoga har ek din kaatne ke liye...Aur agar kal main naa rahungi toh tum...Kya tum poori zindagi aise hi akele bitaaoge,huh??
Raj:(pondered deeply)Nihar achanak itni serious kyun ho gayi??Pehle mujhe maahul thoda sa halka karna hoga..(looked at Niharika)Mujhe bolna nahin chaahiye par Niharika ek dum sahi keh rahi hain..Kab tak tum dono aise hi jeeyoge,hmm??(Sonali and Mahi grew shocked at Raj and glanced at each other)
Mahi:(murmured)Sonu...
Sonali:I don't know but we're screwed up for sure!!
Mahi:Ok,that's it!!(got up from her chair)Niharika,thanks for the lovely dinner..Amazing food,btw!!And as far as the engagement is concerned,i'm not ready at all for any big changes in my life right now..I've been the face of Page 3 for a few days for now and i'd rather take things slow..I'm really sorry but this is just who and how i am!!Once again,I'm sorry if appeared rude!!Chal,Sonu!!
Mayank:(stopped her at his door;Sonali and Mahi were already standing outside when he voiced out to Mahi)I tried..But you jus shouldn't have come in the first place!!(Mahi was taken aback back by his indirect manner of taunting her but then she wasn't surprised by his nature)
Sonali:Chal yahaa se,Mahi..Jo tumhaari kadar karna nahin jaanta ho,usse baat karne se kya faayda?Chal!!!
Mayank sw Mahi leave with Sonali but just then Raj came out and stopped them,asking Sonali to drop him at his place.Before leaving from there,Raj thanked Mayank for his documents.
Raj:Thanks dude!!
Mayank:No probz..
Raj:Well Mayank,you don't know Mahi so well so please don't make the mistake of taunting her in any way,hmm??She came to make sure that because of you,there wouldn't be any further complications in her life..But i guess destiny has some other plans for her..I just intervened just now,hoping that either of you woul actually break the news to Niharika that this is all a fabrication!!I gotta go...Bye!!(Mayank nodded and looked intently at Mahi who was lost in her thoughts;Sonali drove off quickly)
~After some time @ Goa Guesthouse~
Bharti rushed to the washroom after having checked on Naina.Her clothes got wet in the cool showers,letting the memories of her first kiss with Armaan linger and enshroud her from all directions.As she closed her eyes,she imagined Armaan to be standing behind her,spreading his fingers down her wet arms and kissing the nape of her neck as he did an hour bck.She turned around but Armaan had disappeared by then.Bharti grew furious and frustrated at the same time and as she progressively broke down,leaning against the walls and knelt down with her legs bent and raised,she cried endlessly,thinking of Shreya who had called Armaan before she had run all the way from the gazebo to the guesthouse.She closed her yet once again and found Armaan raising her chin and she gazed at him as he whispered,"Bharti,i'm all your's".
Meri aankhon ki siaahi, piya deti hai gawahi
Meri aankhon ki siaahi, piya deti hai gawahi

Dhoonde na ab koyi
Main khoya tu khoyi
Bheegi si bhaagi si
Meri baazuon mein samayi
Jogi si jaagi si
Koi prem dhun woh sunaye
Bheegi si bhaagi si
Meri baazuon mein samayi
Jogi si jaagi si
Koi raam dhun woh sunaye

She closed her eyes and covered her ears with her hands and after some time,the only sound she had heard when she woke up was the sound of the trickling water on the bathroom tiles.
On the other hand,Armaan was smiling to himself,thinking of the boldness he had hidden within himself all along.
"Anjali was so right.I just had to express my love to Bharti and shetwould..The rains was surely an icing on the cake,which brought life and depth to love...Bharti's in love with me and she didn't even give me a slight clue of her feelings for me!!This is indeed the best moment of my life..(couldn't stop smiling)I LOVE YOU BHARTI!!!!!I should call Anjali right...NO!!!!It's her special night with her hubby and i shouldn't be disturbing the lovebirds..I'll tell her tomorrow myself..(looked at Bharti's photograph that both of them captured together when Bharti got him his first lenses)I can't believe that..That my love story has become complete!!Can't wait to talk to her tomorrow!!
~Outside Raj's place~
Raj:Thanks for the lift,Sonu..
Mahi:(got out of the car)Hold right there..What do you think you were trying to do with all the intervention and advice??
Raj:Ok,i was just trying to help..
Sonali:Oh really Raj?
Raj:Ok look...I said such,hoping that either you or Mayank would pick up the hint to break things off with each other..But sadly,the idea got foiled,all thanks to..
Mahi:I can't break her heart like that..And i'm no psychic to read between the lines of your last-minute ideas..
Raj:See Mahi??You're not even ready!!
Mahi:What??Can't you see just how much i'm hating all these deception and lies??
Raj:In that case,break this out to Niharika..She's the closest and she ought to know!!And if you wanna be free,you gotta be strong-minded here,not worrying of how Niharika will take it..
Sonali:He's got a point,Mahi!!You've just got to..
Mahi:Let's go,Sonu..Bye Raj,see you on Monday!!
Raj:Think about it Mahi...You know i'm always here to help,right??(Mahi nodded)
Mahi:(stopped and turned to face Raj)Ok,you know what?Let's break this once and for all..Why don't you help me break this news to Niharika,hm?
Raj:Me??Why me?You'e kidding,right??Why do you want me to be involved??
Mahi:Look at who's talking,Sonu..You always wanted to be involved in my probz,right??And how can i not ask you,after what you revealed to Niharika about my personal life,hm?
Raj:(shook his head liek a slow pendulum bob)Wh...What did i..
Sonali:Her divorce..You told her,didn't you??(Raj recalled it just then and mumbled, "Oops" to Mahi)
Raj:Heyy,in my defense,that was an accident..I didn't mean to,i swaer..But right now,i don't think me talking to her would...
Sonali:Seriously,what the heck's going on between you two and why are you in a state of demur?
Raj:I'm not,ok?t's just that i've got really urgent matters running in my mind at the moment and i don't think i can help!!I'm sorry Mahi!!
Mahi:Iss liye kehti hoon ke kuch bhi kehne se pehle zara soch liya karo!!Bata nahin ki ab yeh sab kahaa pe khatam hogi!!(slammed the car door and Sonali drove off)
Raj:Damnit!!!!Ab mujhe Khushi aur Niyati ke documents ke saath saath Mahi ki problem par bhi nazar rakhna hoga!!!!

The episode zooms on Bharti's tears,Armaan's smiles as he laid on his bed,Mahi anticipating more troble to come her way,Raj worried for his dear friends and Mayank who felt torn between Mahi and Niharika.

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 253~

~Next Day~
~Evening Hours~
Jiya:So,what have you called me here for?
Armaan:Phew,we finished our photoshoot and managed to turn up early,na?Warna toh yeh models toh..
Jiya:Guess that's surprising about some international models..
Armaan:We surely got the best ones,especially Bellez..
Jiya:Seriously,don't you think she had something going on for Farhan,huh?
Armaan:Will you stop it,Jiya?Now what's your plan?
Jiya:Enjoy the cocktail party..Kyun??
Armaan:Tell me about Bhaskar..
Jiya:What?
Armaan:Yeahh,tell me what's the matter?
Jiya:What matter,Armaan?
Armaan:I saw that there were lots of missed calls on your mobile from Bhaskar..
Jiya:Really?Did you..Did you manage to talk to him?(Armaan folded his hands and looked sternly at her)What???
Armaan:You really had no clue that Bhaskar called you huh??
Jiya:No Armaan...In fact,it was the wedding of Rohan's and Anjali's..I was son egrossed in their celebrationa,hence i wasn't even paying any attention to my mobile!!
Armaan:Well,i tried contacting him but his mobile was switched off!!Go and talk to him,k?Maybe it's something urgent..(Jiya smiled and nodded)
Jiya:And you know,what else ought to be done?
Armaan:What?(Jiya gestured to him to turn around;he saw Bharti climbing up a ladder to spread out the basket of rose petals on the fans which were not switched on)
Jiya:I think instead of focusing on me,someone ought to be helping her out...
Armaan:Really,Jiya??Her friends are there to help her out...I don't have to be there!!
Jiya:She still hasn't forgiven you?
Armaan:Huhh??(turned to face Jiya)She has,but i had challenged her to try staying away from me..
Jiya:What exactly for??
Armaan:To see how far she would go to avoid me..
Jiya:So,how's the outcome shaping up??
Armaan:Do me a favour by watching her..Snd you'll get an answer!!(Jiya sensed an awakening sense of euphoria in his voice,which made her smilr as he walked towards Bharti)
~Raj's plsce~
Raj didn;t sleep all night,all thanks to Nidhi and his stupidly low net connection,which he so depserately needed to gain access to certain documents on his Gmail account.Just then,he received an alert from Jiya,asking him to Tango her.
Raj:(video-called her via Tango)Hey babe..What's up??
Jiya:Nothing..Was missing ya..
Raj:Really,huh??I mean,how could you have missed me when Armaan's around??
Jiya:Ahh,i so miss the sarcasm of your's!!Anywayzz,Armaan's not anywhere around me..
Raj:You got bored and hence you remembered me..
Jiya:But i guess you didn't miss me at all..
Raj:Actually,i bothered not to...
Jiya:Heyyy!!!!
Raj:Hear me out na Jiya..I had to firmly decide on the matters of Khushi and Niyati..
Jiya:Oh dear,i completely forgot about that..What's gonna happen now?
Raj:Kinda crashed with Sonu and Mahi last night who were coincidentally at Mayank's place when i went to meet him for dinner..
Jiya:OMG!!What are you saying??
Raj:Yes,they were there and you wouldn;t believe what i'm about to announce next!!
Armaan:What?
Raj:Oh hey dude...How's everything??Photo-shoot and Mr Farhan??
Armaan:Everything's settled...
Jiya:Shush it,Armaan..Raj,what is it?
Raj:Oh yes..Be mentally prepared!!
Armaan:For what exactly,Jiya?
Raj:For Niharika's amazing announcement..
Jiya:Stop with your beating-around-the-bush concept,Raj...Come to the point!!
Raj:Niharika's planning for Mahi's and Mayank's engagement..ASAP!!
Jiya:WHAT???
Raj:I'm sorry guyzz that you've got to hear it this way..But i see a wide smile on Armaan's face and i'm confused!!Aren't you mad at Mahi??Isn't Bharti mad at you too??
Jiya:Old news,Raj..Bharti's forgiven Armaan way back and he's definitely not mad at Mahi at all!!In fact,he's overjoyed!!But how can she say Yes to Mayank??
Raj:Uff Jiya,FYI,she's far more furious to hear Niharika's announcement and she just fled from there with Sonali..But to admit,i'm a lil guilty there..
Armaan:What do you mean??
Raj:Look,i kinda spoke in Nihar's favour,hoping that either Sonali or Mahi could catch the hint and break things off with Mayank for good...But...
Armaan:They took the wrong way..(looked at Jiya)
Jiya:(looked at Armaan)And got mad!!(looked back at Raj)Ab??
Raj:Ab kya?Niyati ke saath saath mujhe Mahi ki probz solve karna hoga..Par iss waqt main Niharika se baat nahin kar sakta..
Jiya:Excuse me dude..Bharti needs my help..Armaan,just keep talking!!
Armaan:Why can't you actually talk to Niharika?You can talk to her easily and tell her about Mahi and Mayank,right??
Raj:Wait a sec,you knew it's a lie all along?
Armaan:Mahi told me everything the night before i had left for Goa..But she made me promsie not to share it with anyone but since you knew..
Raj:Yaar,it's a long yet confusing story..
Armaan:Bolo Raj..
Raj:Sometimes,she wants me to stay distant from her but sometimes she expects me to be near her..It's really confusing and i don't wish to think about her in the whole meshwork or problems but..
Armaan:You're afraid to commit to her,Raj?
Raj:Armaan,i admit i've got commitment issues but what's with her?
Armaan:Dude,remember that Mayank's overprotective of her..Think of her situation at least!!
Raj:Gosh dude,tum toh aise baat kar rahe ho jaise ki main usse abhi bhagaa kar apne saath apne ghar lekar aane waala hoon..(saw Armaan chuckling)Anywayzz,tu yeh bata..Bharti hameshaa tumhe kaise itni jaldi maaf kar deti hain??She definitely has a much softer spot for you than anyone else in her life!!
Armaan:You think so,Raj?
Raj:You're doubting what i just told ya,huh??You know,you seriously ought to be glad that Bharti's got no overprotective parents,siblings to create problems for you..
Armaan:Come to think of it,i know nothing about her!!Nothing indeed,except what she or her close friends let out..
Raj:Hmm so finally it's clear to you that you can;t move on in your life without her by your side,hm??But isn't that gonna be complicated??I mean Bharti doesn't even..
Armaan:Of course she does..In fact,we had a brief moment last night..
Raj:Wait...WHAT???
Armaan:Oops!!You're not supposed to know!!
Raj:You?You??You...Realllyyy???You kissed her???(cringed his eyebrows)Nahh,that's impossible!!If you did,Bharti would have..
Armaan:She let me..I mean,i was equally perplexed...It was as thoguh she didn't wanna let go..
Raj:She's in love with you?
Armaan:I don't know!!I've yet to talk to her!!
Raj:Armaaannn!!!!Then what the heck are you doing,talking to me??(shook his head)
Armaan:I'm nervous to talk to her..
Raj:Gosh,you're totally crazy..Heyy,wait...What about Shreya??
Armaan:She called me last night..But i couldn't say anything as she had called me up since she was thrilled to get promoted at Trends..But i do think that i need to talk to Bharti first before i can talk to Shreya about what had happened...
Raj:And you think she's gonna get you,huh?
Armaan:What do you mean?
Raj:She confessed her feelings to you...I mean she assumed your silence to be your consent and now..What...You're gonna tell her that you kissed and fell in love with Bharti all over again..
Armaan:What do you expect me to do,Raj?
Raj:Jo kuch bhi hua hain,bhool jao..
Armaan:KYA??
Raj:Uff,ek minute,chillax!!Jab tak main naa kahoo,tab tak Shreya ko kuch matt bataa dena..Tum jaa kar pehle Bharti se baat kar!!Dekhthe hain ki woh kya kehti hain!!Waise,out of curiosity,how did you manage to say it after so long??
Armaan:I didn't say anything..Anjali and Rohan helped a bit in asking a waiter to decorate a gazebo miles away..I just expressed how i felt without saying anything...
Raj:Whoa...You're really in love with her after so long...I mean,months after you nullified your contract marriage,as though you've been married to her all along!!And i used to think that you didn't deserve her because of your temper!!
Armaan:I know,Raj..Especially after the traumatizing event at the hotel,i was totally devastated..I want to share my life with no one else but her!!
Raj:(smiled widely)Dude,you've gotten an extremely rare gem,so you better take great care of her..I promise you i'll help you in whichever way i can!!
Armaan:Thanks dude!!And just keep this between us,ok Jiya's coming!!Waise,just help me find out if there's any tension brewing between Jiya and Bhaskar..She seemed to be hiding something!!(Raj pondered and silently mouthed "No worries" as soon as he saw Jiya)
Jiya:What's going on??You're still not done??
Raj:It's guy talk,Tum nahin samjhoge..
Jiya:Gosh,kuch kuch hota hain Raj??
Raj:All credit to Khushi,a big KJo fan...Acha,send my regards to Bharti,Rohan,Anjali,Alisha,Sanjee and my princess Naina..
Jiya:Haan theekh hain..Bye!!Cya soon..(hung up)
~Grand Hyatt Hotel~
Shreya:Sudha aunty,i'm so sorry..It was a last minute call from Mayank Sir regarding a consignment..
Sudha:It's ok Shreya,i just reached as well..It was quite a hectic day for me too...So,shall we order??What are you fond of??
Shreya:Aunty,i tend to have light dinners..But i don't mind anything today..Actually,i totally didn't expect for us to have dinner at such a lavish hotel..
Sudha:Whyever not,Shreya??In fact,Armaan keeps fretting that i don't give him ample time to go out and eat with him..It was during the time when Bharti was married to him that...(paused)I meant his contract marriage..
Shreya:Yeahh he did tell me about Bharti's contract marriage to him,and the fact thatt he nullified the marriage for neither was he in love with her nor was he attempting to be a burden on Bharti's studies...
Sudha:Really??(fell lost in her thoughts)Why didn't Armaan tell her the entire truth??Why did he hide,if he truly loved Shreya??
Shreya:(snapped at Sudha)Aunty,kya hua?(Sudha shook her head and smiled)
Sudha:Order kare??
~Penthouse@Goa Guesthouse~
Anjali excused herself to meet Armaan who had just hung up,looking for Bharti.
Anjali:Booh!!(Armaan closed his eyes and opened them,but smiled at her)
Armaan:I'll forgive you since you're a day-old bride...
Anjali:Haha,gee thanks!!So,was everything set last night??
Armaan:You did everything and you didn't let me know a thing,despite your wedding,huh??I just...
Anjali:You're welcome by the way..So i hope your love story is set...Bharti did show up,right?
Armaan:Pff,of course she did...She had to come..But..
Anjali:Armaan,i'm not seeming to like the word,"But" here...
Armaan:Actually Anjali,ever since last night,i've not exactly talked to Bharti,so...
Anjali:Ok,did something...Go...wrong last night???
Armaan:Anjali,nothing wrong happened..It's just that we s[ent some time together but she ran away from there,just like that and i haven't talked to her since...So,i would need to talk to her in order to find out if everything's ok but i just don't seem to spot her...
Anjali:Oh wait...Naina,aapki mama kahaa hai??
Naina:Anjali didi,mama kapde change kar rahi hain..Aur uske baad,main mama ke saath naachungi..
Anjali:Arre wah,kyun nahin??Par filhaal aap Armaan dada..Yeahh Armaan dada ke saath rahiye..(Naina smiled and nodded)
Rohan:Babe,kahaa gayi thi mujhe akela chod kar,hm??
Anjali:Well,don't you know me?
Rohan:And don't you know me either??
Anjali:(adjusted Rohan's coat)So,my hubby wanna have a tiff with me right now?
Rohan:I can't!!
Anjali:Huh??
Rohan:I didn't decide to spend the rest of my life to quarrel with you..I love you and i want to never fight with you,at least not from my side..
Anjali:Uff,yeh draamebaazi bandh kar,hmm??It's jsut one night,for God's sake...
Rohan:Talking about which,is everything set between Armaan and Bharti?
Anjali:I don't know Rohan..(looked at Armaan bonding well with Naina,tickling her and having fun)My gut instinct tells me something's definitely not well...Even Armaan has got no clue since he hasn't talked to Bharti yet!!
Rohan:Yeh Alisha aur Sanjee bhi kahaa chali gayi hain...
~Rheo Pub~
Khushi:So,tell me what's bugging you and why is it that you wanted to meet me here after leaving Niyati adn Nidhi with your granny??
Raj:Heyy,you made it..
Khushi:Ye..ahhh!!And you're quite drunk btw!!
Raj:Feeling so crappy..Annoyed and ashamed at the same time...(Khushi looked at him)What??
Khushi:You're just so weird tonight!!
Raj:Not only tonight,this is Raj Malhotra,just the way he is...Annoyed at a girl and ashamed of not being supportive of his friend when he ought to have supported his friend's love..
Khushi:Enough with the drinks!!(paid the bartender and drove Raj's car)What gives,Raj?
Raj:Classified,can't share with ya...
Khushi:I see...Now i get to know that nothing's bothering you at all and in fact,i just came to ensure that you didn't drink too much and to get you out from the pub...(shook her head;just then his mobile rang)Raj...(looked at his mobile when she reached the junction)It's Niharika...
Raj:To heck with her..(disconnected her call)
Khushi:Heyy,what's the prob?
Raj:Exactly...What is the prob with you girls??Sometimes you ask us guyzz to leave you alone and sometimes...You simply hold onto us,as though you can't bear to part from us and become clingy...You girls are masters at leading us on...
Khushi:So,this is what it's all about,huh?You're mad at Niharika...But what is it about being ashamed??(parked the car and brought Raj home,letting him sit on the sofa)
Raj:Tell me something...Why does a girl,clearly in love,tries to suppress or keep her emotions at bay from the guy?
Khushi:Obvious reasons...Commitment issues like you,Raj..
Raj:Heyyy!!!Ok,i admit that i've got commitment issues but this is not about me...It's about someone else i know...She loves my friend now..
Khushi:What do you mean by now??
Raj:Actually i 'm uncertain if she realized it now and is pretending not to act upon it or whatsoever..But apparently she's in love with him but somehow she's running away from him..I just can't figure out why..
Khushi:Any family involved??
Raj:Oh come on,Bharti's parents are divorced and Armaan's mum surely doesn't mind...Oopss!!!!
Khushi:(grinned widely)Bechara Raj!!!Classified info,huh???(riased her eyebrows)So Bharti's running away from Armaan,despite being in love with him...That's strange!!
Raj:That's why i'm asking you and since you're a girl too..
Khushi:What...What???
Raj:You should understand her POV na??
Khushi:Ok,let me think...
Raj:Yeahh,think..You've got all the tim..e...(dozed off to sleep)
~Dressing Room~
Bharti changed into a maxi dress and was wearing her earring which fell on the floor as she heard a knock on the door.
Bharti:It's open..Come in Sanjee..Ok,before you say anything..(was wearing her earring without facing the mirror and she didn't realize who she was talking to)Bas aaj raat ke liye tum Armaan ko busy rakho..Do whatever it may take..Talk,eat,dance,whatever alright??Cuz i don't wish to...Face him tonight!!After last night,i...
Armaan:Bharti???(Bharti widened her eyes in disbelief and was totally taken aback)You don't want to face me tonight??
Bharti:(instantly turned around)Ermmm,heyyy Armaan...(adjusted and caressed her hair repetitively)
Armaan:What were you saying,Bharti?Complete what you intended to say to Sanjee...(just then,Sanjee appeared at the doorstep but stopped and hid at a corner)
Bharti:Nothing at all,Armaan..Your mind's just playing games with you..Excuse me!!
Armaan:(held her wrist)Bharti,you're not leaving till you answer me..Are you ignoring me?
Bharti:(turned to him and smiled)Of course not,Armaan..I didn't realize that it was you at the door..And i was telling Sanjee to give you company cuz i won't be around at the party for long since i gotta call Bhaskar and sort some things out with him..And as far as ignoring you is supposed to be concerned,i guess that's not an issue any longer,cuz your challenge was officially nullified last night,right??We've forgiven each other and now we're cool...So,why would i ignore you??
Armaan:Trying to pull off an excuse,Bharti,huh??(took a step forward)Why do you care about me getting good company?Rohan and Anjali invited me and Jiya here so why would i be alone??What were you thinking,Bharti??Why do you care if i'm treated well or not??
Bharti:Cuz you're my friend..My secret friend and i care about you..Something which i truly missed for days..Weeks..
Armaan:Then why did you take so long to forgive me,Bharti??(Bharti looked away)I admit i was at fault..
Bharti:Will you stop it already??I've let it all pass through and leave me last night,hmm??Guess we're getting late,aren't we??
Armaan:I actually wanted to talk to you about last night...
Bharti:What about it?
Armaan:(wondered how he ought to approach it)Ermm,the some sorta dance..It was...
Bharti:Pretty romantic,by the way;Shreya ought to have seen it...She would have gone crazy over your way of expressing your love for her..
Armaan:(his smile vanished entirely as Bharti mentioned Shreya's name)Bharti,where did Shreya come in between us?
Bharti:Oh come on,whatever that happened last night,it was for her..
Armaan:If it was for her,why would i come close to you??Kiss you,Bharti??
Bharti:Relax,Armaan..Just forget everything,k?And Shreya doesn't have to know anything about it either...In fact,this would be liek a perfect farewell from you since we didn't manage to bid farewell to each other from MU..Hmm,let's not keep Anjali and Rohan waiting..(turned to go)
Armaan:You make a mockery of my deepest emotions for you,which i had kept hidden for so long,and all you can say is farewell??To forget everything as though it didn't exist in the first place,huh??
Bharti:Armaan,it's not liek what you think..
Armaan:You led me on thinking that you too..How could i be so blind??What made me think that you cared deeply and passionately for me that this time round,you wouldn't run away from me and rather hold on closely to me and trust me??(Bharti saw a tear gradually forming in Armaan's eye)
Bharti:Ok,hold it right there...I can't possibly have led you on,alright??You were never,and will never be my type of guy,ok??(shook her head)I can't believe that you were cheating on Shreya!!You know what?I'll like to forget the fact that i've ever come across a guy like you in my life...When i felt something good is showing up in my life,opposite forces have got to appear from nowhere and destroy my hopes for good!!Thank you so much,Mr Armaan Sinha!!(barged out from there without noticing Sanjee's presence)
Armaan's tear fell on Sanjee's finger and only then did he realize Sanjana standing before him.Bharti paused as she recollected what she had spoken harshly,out of frustration,to Armaan,in an attempt to suppress her emotions.She rushed to a quieter corner and took a napkin and began writing.

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 254~

Sanjana:No explanations needed,Armaan..I had overheard everything!!
Armaan:What??(looked away)
Sanjana:Look at me,Armaan...Are you truly in love with Bharti or not or were you faking it???I man you guyzz kissed last night??But why did she..
Armaan:Sanjee,i have only loved her my life...
Sanjana:So,why did she think you're two-timing her and Shreya???I mean,why did she think it's for Shreya??
Armaan:Sanjee,i really don't know..In fact,i felt the spark between us as we..Even if it was for a brief moment,she made me feel as if she too...Shreya...(paused)She..
Sanjana:Believe it or not,she's always been like that..But you're no less at fault either..Shreya confessed her feelings for you and you remained far more silent..So,don't just blame Bharti...
Armaan:It was at the Trends success bash..I got jealous and a lil drunk..What could you have expected,Sanjee??
Sanjana:Kamaal hain yaar...You love Bharti but Shreya thinks and believes firmly that you're in love with her..Have you thought about her,Armaan??You're justifying your actions to me here...You're wrong but now i get what Bharti is up to!!
Armaan:You do?
Sanjana:Yes i do..Come with me!!
Armaan:Where to?
Sanjana:Just come,will you??(went to mingle with the other couples and saw Bharti talking and socializing with Alisha's parents and Naina;Sanjee took Armaan's wrists and placed them around her waist)
Armaan:What..What the heck are you doing?
Sanjana:(whispered)Sshh,zyaada sawaal matt karo..We're doing exactly what Bharti asked me to do..
Armaan:Bharti's watching us right now..
Sanjana:Thanks to the DJs and other couples..Just come closer to me!!!Smile and engage in a conversation with me,that you're deeply interested in me..Armaan,don't reveal your state of shock or else Bharti would figure out..
Armaan:What are you exactly trying to do?
Sanjana:Trying your disease on her;trying to get her to become jealous,so just play along with me right now with PDA..
Armaan:What???
Meanwhile,Bharti excused herself and Naina.
Bharti:Naina,aap mama ki ek madat karenge?
Naina:Bolo na mama..
Bharti:Yeh napkin,aap aapke Armaan dada ko de kar aana zara...Woh wahaa Sanjee didi ke saath dance kar rahi hain..
Naina:Ok mama...
Bharti:Jaldi aana...(Naina agreed)
Alisha excused herself and rushed to Sanjana and Armaan,pulling them apart as both of them were standing way too close to each other.In her eyes,it seemed as though they were about to kiss.
Alisha:What the heck,Sanjee??Aur tum,mere doston se toh bilkul bhi door rehna,samjhe??(Sanjee covered Alisha's mouth and lip-synched "I'll talk to you later" to Armaan who nodded in agreement)Now,where are you bringing me??
Sanjana:Uffo Alisha,saara plan chopad kar diya tumne...Plan thi Bharti ko jalan karwaane ke liye lekin tumhaari timing ka toh koi jawaab hi nahin...
Alisha:Kya????(Sanjee elaborated her plan to Alisha)Uff,pehle nahin bol sakthe the??
Naina:Armaan dada..
Armaan:Bol Naina...Kuch chaahiye tumhe??
Naina:Nahin toh...Bas yeh napkin aapko deni thi..Mama ki taraf se hain yeh napkin..
Armaan:Aapki mama ki taraf se??
Naina:Haan..(Armaan looked in the direction where Naina pointed to,and looked intently at Bharti)Okay,mama intezaar kar rahi hain,main chalti hoon...
Armaan:Sambhal kar chalna..(began to read what was written in the napkin)
"Armaan,i shouldn't have judged you like that..I just got mad at myself for having let whatever that happened between us last night..I'm extremely sorry for having complicated matters between you and Shreya!!She loves you dearly and look at what I've done..Last night,we forgave each other and i thought,i got back my secret friend but...I can't even face you liek before..I've changed the entire perspective of friendship between us and thus,in the best of your interest,just forget whatever that happened,k?Neither do i know you enough to judge you nor do you,Armaan for if you did know me,you'd rather wish having not met a girl liek me who's been raised in London for the first 12 years of her life who had seen people bidding farewell in a manner such as last night..Just forget me,alright??"
Rohan and Anjali cut their large choco-coffee cake, which which was ordered by Bharti,Alisha and Sanjana the day itself, after the outburst of confetti and balloons,with lots of cheers from friends and close acquaintances.Bharti fed the pieces of cake to Rohan followed by Anjali,Alisha,Sanjee,Naina and finally when it came to Armaan,she paused.She passed the piece of cake to Armaan who went towards her and ate from her hand,much to her bewilderment.She went to wash her hands and as she turned around,she bumped into Armaan.Bharti moved to her right and was about to leave when she heard him mutter,"Surely,the perspective of our friendship has changed,Bharti but you are and you'll always be my secret friend...I'm never ever going to forget you!!" and he left from there.
Before Bharti left,she wished Rohan and Anjali a blissful marriage and friendly blackmailed Rohan to take good care of Anjali and to visit Mumbai some time.Alisha and Sanjana helped Naina and Bharti to pack their stuff.
Rohan:Dude,do you really have to leave tonight itself wtih Jiya??
Armaan:If we didn't leave by tonight itself,we're surely gonna lose our jobs...(heaved deeply)
Anjali:Sorry Armaan,we tried our best..
Armaan:Chill Anjali..You tried and i expressed my love to her but if some things were not meant to work out,it just won't and we've gotta accept it!!Jiya,i'm talking to you as well..
Jiya:What?
Armaan:You ought to be supportive,helping me in this crisis..Now,i've got Shreya by my side to think about...
Jiya:Armaan,you're..
Armaan:Shreya's call,excuse me...
Anjali:Don't worry so much,Jiya..He's got to sort out his own life..Just stick with him cuz he needs you badly!!He may not say it or show it but he really needs you,hmm??(Jiya smiled and agreed)
~Next Day@Trends--Mumbai~
Mayank was at Trends,contemplating about Mahi's reaction during dinner two nights back.He knew that he could have handled the situation in a much better way instead of acting cowardly,just like what Mahi had implied indirectly.He swirled his mobile and loosened his tie.He wondered if it would be right to talk to Mahi at the moment about it.
"Trends ke CEO ho kar bhi ek ladki se baat karna nahin aata??Kya hain yeh,Mayank Sharma??Jo bhi ho,jab bhi woh gussa karti hain toh kuch na kuch sachaayi bak deti hain..Karoo toh bhi ab kya karoo??"
Shreya:Sir,kya main andar aa sakti hoon?
Mayank:Haan Mahi,andar aa jaao...
Shreya:Mahi??(Mayank closed his eyes and shook his head)
Mayank:Kaun Mahi?Shreya,aa jaao..
Shreya:Hmm,toh pyaar mein yeh sab bhi hota hain,kyun Sir?
Mayank:Pyaar?Kya bakwaas kar rahi ho tum?
Shreya:Mayank sir,aap Mahi ki khayaalon mein dhoobe ho aur mujhe Mahi bulaa rahe the..Iska main aur kya matlab nikaalo???
Mayank:Shreya,kya main tumhaari promotion kisi aur ko de doo??Huh??
Shreya:Sorry Sir..Main toh bas..Waise,aaj aap itni jaldi aa gaye the..
Mayank:Mere appointments ke list kahaa hain?
Shreya:Aapke saare appointments toh shaam ke liye fix karne ke liye bol diya tha kal raat..
Mayank:What??How could i have forgotten that??
Shreya:Sir,aap ek baar Mahi se baat kar leejiye..Phir uske baad aapko sab yaad aa jaayega...(Mayank gave her the death look)I better get going!!
Mayank:(murmured to himself)Kahin Shreya sach toh nahin keh rahi hain?Nahin,nahin...Main kyun baat karoo jabke maine usse saaf saaf manaa kiya tha aane se aur upar se Raj ka khufiyaa plan...
~Armaan's place~
Sudha:Armaan,uthoo..Subah ki dus bhaj chuke hain...
Armaan:Aww Maa,i missed you so much!!(laid his head on her lap)
Sudha:Maska maarna band kar,,Get up,tumhaare boss ka phone aaya tha jaldi karne ke liye par maine keh diya hain ki woh lunch ke baad hi aayega..
Armaan:Arre Maa,aap mujhe marwaane chahthe ho??(rushed to the washroom)
Sudha:Finally you got up..Ab jaldi fresh ho jaao aur aaja nashtha karne ke liye mere saath..I wanna hear gossip by the way!!
~Dining Table~
Sudha:Sachhi???Bharti aur Naina bhi wahaa pe thi??
Armaan:Haan Maa..Aap itni excited kyun ho??Uski internship khatam ho gayi thi aur usne Naina ko ghumaane le gaya aur woh bhi Goa mein..
Sudha:Waise tu toh ek exclusive phot shoot ke liye gaya tha na Goa mein?(Armaan looked puzzled)Mahi ka phone aa gayi thi;baaton baaton mein mein tumhaare yeh photo shoot ke zikr hua tha aur tab jaakar meri parishaani tohdi kam kardi usne..Warna toh...
Armaan:Maa,i'm really sorry that i shut everyone out that night,including you..Par Goa mein do cheezein acha hua tha..Pehle toh woh photo shoot jo Asia ki famous magazines mein bhi publish hoga aur doosri baat,Bharti aur main...
Sudha:Kya Armu?
Armaan:Bharti ne mujhe maaf lar diya hain aur hum phir se...Secret friends hain...(his mind seemed to linger back to the moment he read her note)
Sudha:Hayye!!!(Armaan snapped back to reality)This is so amazing,Armaan, and so unanticipated,actually!!Kitni ittefaq ki baat hain ki tum dono ek saath Goa mein the..Tumhaare project Goa mein based tha aur Bharti apni bachi ko le gayi Goa holidaying ke liye..
Armaan:To correct you,holidaying ke liye nahin..
Sudha:Toh phir?
Armaan:Rohan aur Anjali ki shaadi attend karne ke liye..Aur yeh bhi ek ittefaq hi tha ki Rohan ko Jiya achanak mil gaya tha aur Jiya ne shaadi attend karne ki zidd pakad liya tha aur haan keh diya tha jab main hichkichaa raha tha..Kyunki uss waqt Bharti ne mujhe ab tak maaf nahin kiya tha..Aur ab,agar ittefaq naam ki koi cheez hain toh phir kabhi Naina aur Bharti se milunga...
Sudha:Aisa kyun?Tum dono plans toh banaa sakte ho na milne ke liye,hmm?
Armaan:Plans,hmm..Aaj kal kaam ki schedule itna tight hain na Maa ki kya boloo...
Sudha:Waise,in your absence,Shreya and i went out for dinner..
Armaan:(gulped down the food down his throat)KYA???Kab??I mean...Jab mein Goa mein tha,Shreya ne mujhe do baar phone kiya tha par iss dinner ki koi zikr nahin hua tha..I mean...
Sudha:Itna ghabraa kyun rahe ho??
Armaan:Nahin,mujhe laga ki aap dono,you know...
Sudha:Kya??Mil jhul kar baat nahin karenge,huh??Woh tumhaare liye bohat khaas hain na?Aur mujhe sabse zyaada haqq hain yeh jaanne mein ki woh tumhaare liye sahi hain ki nahin...I mean,i should be able to get along with her as well as you,or at least a lil,na??And come on,tum dono ek doosre ko pasand karte ho,pyaar karte ho..(Armaan could only think about the kiss he so passionately shared with Bharti and how she had behaved so mysteriously towards him later on)Aur guess what?
Armaan:Huh?Kya?
Sudha:I'm actually beginning to like her...And i have a feeling that she;ll keep you happy!!Oh,just hold on Armu..(answered her mobile)Oh dear,ok,ok call for back-up...I'm on my way,give me 5 mins max!!Armu,mujhe jaana hoga..We'll discuss more,when we have our catch-up time,hm??(kissed his forehead and left in her car)
Armaan:Maa,main aapko kaise samjhaao jab ki Bharti khud..Aisa kyun kar rahi hain woh??She's got to somehow answer me!!(picked up his vest,briefcase and locked his home before leaving)
~Shaz's place~
Bharti:There you are,Payal...(Payal rushed and hugged her tightly,making Bharti jerk backwards a lil)I've dropped Naina at her playschool...I tried contacting Bhaskar but he's not picking up..And you??You left without a message??And so did Bhaskar!!What the...Payal?Payal????(held Payal's elbows and made her withdraw from their hug)Have you been crying??
Payal:Nahin...Nahin toh!!(kneeled down,leaned against the wall)
Bharti:Idiot!!Payal...Main kya London mein sadh rahi thi??Kuch bhi ho,ek phone tak nahin kar sakti thi??Main wahaa Goa mein apna time..(paused)
Payal:Tum wahaa Rohan aur Anji ki shaadi attend karne gayi thi..Main kaise??
Bharti:Kya woh shaadi zyaada zaroori hai tumhaari problem se,Payal??Kaash main yahaa par hoti,toh kam se kam koi aur complications nahin hota...
Payal:(wiped her tear)Kaisi complication,Bharti?
Bharti:Main kyun bataaoaa??Tumne toh mujhe paraaya kar diya tha na...
Payal:Bharti,kya hua tha Goa mein??(saw Bharti glaring at her)Bharti,Bhaskar aur mere beech ab kuch bhi theekh nahin hoga...
Bharti:Kya matlab?
Payal:Tujhe toh bata hain na..
Bharti:Don't tell me ki tum seriously yeh sochthe ho ki...
Payal:Bharti,i heard their conversation when i had called Bhaskar while he was in London..They're having an illicit affair and now he's acting as though nothing had happened..Aur iss liye main yahaa chali aayi...
Bharti:Sinking yourself in bouts of depression??I can't believe that my best friend will just ditch me!!
Payal:Bharti...
Bharti:Are you nutz or something,Payal??Bhaskar will never cheat on you!!You two are madly in love with each other for the past,what,7 years...This is impossible!!
Payal:Of course you strongly believe the contrary,Bharti...And even now I'm beginning to feel it's true!!
Bharti:(wondered to herself)And now i wish it wasn't true...Bhaskar can never cheat on Payal..He's been in love with Payal and so is she,ever since i've known both of them...(looked at Payal)Payal,i'll not let your marriage turn out to be a sham,get it??I'll prove it to you that this is nothing but a misunderstanding of your's!!
Payal:Yeahh,right!!(wiped her tears)
Bharti:Oh come on,give me a chance yaar!!
Payal:Fine,but i'm serious about consulting a divorce lawyer...
Bharti:WHAT????Gosh Payal,this is all way too fastmhmm??Promise me that you'll not go to any extreme measures without consulting me..(extended her palm and looked at Payal)What are you looking at??Come on,promise me!!(Payal hesitated before extending her palm to place on Bharti's,thus promising her)Good!!Acha,main university ho kar aati hoon,erm Dr Graham se mil kar..Tum meri Naina ko pick up karke ghar aana,samjhi??Tab tak main aa jaaongi!!
Payal:Yes,ma'm!!(Bharti smiled and shook her head before leaving)
Bharti sat in an auto and headed to the university and dialled Jiya's number.
"Payal shouldn't even have a clue of what i'm going to do..I storngly affirm that Bhaskar wouldn't even consider cheating on Payal but nowadayzz,you simply can't figure..And after Payal told me what she had heard,i just don't know if it's just a simple misunderstanding or if there's a concoction of truth mixed in it..Somehow i need Jiya to speak up.."
~Trends~
Mayank held an announcement for all to gather at the foyer for a few minutes.Mayank reached and saw everyone else having stopped fidgeting upon seieng him.Mayank saw Raj and nodded,acknowledging the fact that Khushi would have to leave soon.
Mayank:Everyone,one of our dear employees,due to personal reasons,would be leaving for London for a few months.In fact,she'll be of great help in assisting us in the setting up of the Trends office at UK and she's none other than Ms Khsuhi Dixit.Manwhile,as everyone must have already knwon,Shreya has recently gotten a promotion..Congratzz!!An intern will be joining us in a few days' time,filling up the position of Assistant to Chief Editor..Hang on in there,thinking of who he or she will be..(paused and murmured)What the...Ashley????(everyone turned around and made way for her in the middle,moving towards the left and the right)
Ashley:What a pleasure to meet you Mayank sir and that too after quite some time...
Mayank:(murmured)Khushi,get going with Raj..Give me a call once you've reached!!(Khushi left with Raj who was extremely shocked to see Ash back at Trends)Everyone disperse!!(slammed his cabin door,only to be opened by Ashley)
Ashley:Hi Sir...(Ashley closed the door and Mayank looked at her blankly)The period of my suspension is surely over,right?
Mayank:Oh yes,i surely forgot to fire you at that point of time...
Ashley:Mayank sir,i understand that you're still mad at me and till today,i can't bring myself to forgive myself but how could i stop myself from revealing a shocking piece of news to you?
Mayank:What news?
Ashley:Sir,at least let me continue working at Trends..Give me the guarantee that you've forgiven me,Sir!!
Mayank:Really,Ashley??And how long do you expect me to figure the deception in your "piece of shocking news"??
Ashley:Sir,don't you trust me at all??
Mayank:I'll find it real hard to do so,especially after what you did..(heard a knock on the door)Come in!!
Shreya:Sir,woh..(looked at Ashley and back at Mayank)I'll come back later,Sir..
Mayank:What is it,Shreya??
Asley:Sir,Shreya is responsible for leaking the info on your relationship with Mahi Talwar!!
Mayank:WHAT????(echoed with Shreya and looked at her who was totally clueless)
Shreya:Sir,i just came to give you the files you requested,which would be useful for today's appointments..
Mayank:Shreya,did you leak out the info??
Shreya:SIR!!!Why would i??Sir,i wouldn't!!
Ashley:Why not,Shreya??You came in recently with meagre skills and now just some weeks back,you won Mayank sir's trust,just like that??You got promoted so easily,when there were other employees who've wroked so hard over the years..Toiled to be in the position you're in at the moment..You've leaked the information and gave support to Mayank sir such that he mixed professionalism with his personal relationship..
Mayank:Shut the hell up,both of you!!Shreya,leave right now!!
Shreya:Sir??Why should i leave when i did nothing wrong?
Mayank:Do you hear me,Shreya??Just leave my cabin right NOW!!(Shreya left,disappointed and hurt)
Ashley:Sir,i'm sorry that i had to reveal this news to you like that but it is true!!At least she should have respected your privacy!!She had no right to hurt you!!
Mayank:You're right,Ashley..You're joining back in Trends as my secretary just like before,handling all my professional details in check!!Meanwhile,take a seat in your cabin,shifted upstairs!!
Ashley:Thank you so much Sir!!!(left from Mayank's cabin with a smirk on her face,which Shreya and Ishaan noticed instantly)
~University~
Dr Graham:Actually Bharti,the institute in London is quite impressed with your project on underprivileged kids and the challenges of single parents..In fact,you can actually start your training attachment programme with Alisha and Sanjana..
Bharti:OMG!!Dr Graham,this is really amazing!!
Dr Graham:To add on,you don't have to wait any longer..Just a couple of days..
Bharti:What do you mean?
Dr Graham:The attachment programme is in 3 days' time and by then,i'll just need all the documentation presented on behalf on our university..
Bharti:3 days??
Dr Graham:Why?What's wrong??Isn't this what you've always been waiting for,Bharti??
Bharti:Dr Graham,can i confirm you by tonight and let you know?
Dr Graham:Bharti,is there a problem?
Bharti:Actually Ma'm,i'm in a bit of a rush..I'll talk to you tonight..Bye!!
Dr Graham:Bye!!
~Trends~
Mayank:(in coversation with Nikhil over his mobile)Hmm bolo..
Nikhil:Got some news for you Sir..
Mayank:Stop it with the Sir now...We're good acquaintances now,so...
Nikhil:Alright..Well,this is about the person who leaked the rumour..
Mayank:And let me guess..Ashley,right?
Nikhil:Okayy,how did you figure??
Mayank:Just witnessed Ashley wanting to provoke a catfight with another employee of mine..
Nikhil:Damn!!I miss such fun!!
Mayank:Well,get on with your work..Will try to make it to your place tonight..Bye!!
Nikhil:Bye!!
Mayank:(hung up and thought about Shreya)Gosh,she must have been so hurt but i can't let go of Ashley so easily either..Hope Shreya gets that in her mind!!(dialled the receptionist)Connect me to Shreya...Oh ok,never mind!!(hung up after getting to know that Shreya had gone for lunch with Armaan and Ishaan)
~Men's Universe~
Mahi:Waise,when are you planning to head back home?
Sonali:Why??Are you getting perturbed or annoyed by my presence??
Mahi:Actually,you should be the one feeling burdened and wanting to leave but then who am i talking to??Yaar,go and talk to Pushpak na..I'm feeling extremely bad for him!!
Sonali:Excuse me?Whose side are you on??
Mahi:On both of your sides...Now,come on!!
Sonali:If i head back home,he'll surely reach there...And your perspective is so unacceptable,Mahi!!And if i were to bury the hatchet,it'll just be a routine and my would-be saad would take it to her advantage..Surely,that's not something which i'm looking forward to..Currently,Pushpak and I are on a break and let it be that way,hmm??Maybe we just need our spaces!!
Mahi:Aur yeh kab tak chalta rahega,huh?
Sonali:I don't have an answer right now,Mahi..But tell me something..
Mahi:What?
Sonali:Tumne..(admired her crimson red nail polish and looked at Mahi signing some documents)Tumne Niharika ke prastaav..Suggestion ke baarien mein kya socha hain?(Mahi stopped signing and looked angrily at her)
Mahi:How dare you even ask me that,Sonu??(shook her head)Itne saare kaam padhe huwe hain aur tumhaare yeh sawaal..Tumhe koi kaam nahin hain kya??
Sonali:Bas yehi reaction dekhni thi yaar...Itni dher tak mujhe pakaa rahe the na tum,bas ek choti si revenge thi..Sweet!!!
~Trends~
"Hate it when she's always right!!(Mayank recollects how Mahi had lashed out at him that his organization is pretty much corrupt and warned him about Ashley)Jab bhi gussa kart hain,sachaayi saamne aati hain..Kaash Trends mein uske jaise koi hoti...Arre,yeh main kya bol raha hoon??Main Mahi ke baarein mein iss tarha kyun soch raha hoon??Mayank Sharma,you've got to get her out of her head and for that,you've got to earn her trust back..I'll prove her belief wrong and i'll break us up!!This is a promise to myself and i've just gotten the perfect idea..(took the lift to MU and enquired from Jenny)"
~Men's Universe~
Jenny:(dialled for Mahi)Hi Mahi ma'm..
Mahi:Yeah Jenny..(Sonali stopped looking at the file Mahi gave her and stood up)
Sonali:Mahi..(murmured)Mahiii...
Mahi:Ek min Jenny...(held the receiver)Kya hain??(pointed her finger to Mayank)
Jenny:Ma'm,aapki boyfriend aapse milne aaya hain..(Mayank shook his head whilst Mahi gritted her teeth)
Mahi:Woh mera boyfriend nahin hain,i mean...Tell him to wait cuz i'm not free right now..(hung up)
Sonali:Really,Mahi?You're just gonna sit here and just pretend he's not here..Just stay in your cabin,huh?
Mahi:Who said anything about staying in my cabin?(Sonali seemed confused)Woh Trends ka boss zaroor rahega par yahaa woh sirf ek visitor hain,koi VIP nahin...
Sonali:Huh??
Mahi walked upstairs to Amarjeet's cabin,while Mayank's attempts of calling out to her fell on deaf ears.Mayank was extremely sure that Mahi had heard him but she had tuned out his voice on purpose.Sonali instantly engrossed herself in her files when she felt Mayank knocking on Mahi's cabin door.
Mayank:Okay,i'm just coming in,Sonali..
Sonali:(grinned and looked up)Heyy Mayank,what's up??
Mayank:Look,i'm here to meet Mahi but when i voiced out to her,she didn't reply..
Sonali:Maybe you know,she didn't hear ya..
Mayank:Really???If the rest of your staff could hear me,why couldn't she?It's not as if she was listening to her iPOD..
Sonali:Ohh,she very much does,Mayank and maybe that's why..
Mayank:Cut the crap,Sonali..
Sonali:Why don't you come some other time,some time when she's...
Mayank:She's actually venting her anger of Niharika's suggestion on me??Whatever for??Look,i didn't even know anything about your visit nor of her sudden suggestion of engagement..
Sonali:Shut your mouth,Mayank!!People are listening..(murmured)If you're not already aware,you've created enough tension for her!!
Mahi:(got back and Sonali moved a step back)Sonali,chal yahaa se..Files ke saath!!(grabbed her bag and got out of the cabin with Sonali)
Mayank:Mah..Mahiii!!!!What the hell...How are she treat me as though i'm non-existent??(followed them to the lift lobby)
Just then,the lift door opened an out came Armaan and Shreya.Sonali was about to enter the lift but Mahi stopped her and asked her to wait for her.Mahi rushed and stood before Armaan and Shreya.
Mahi:Armaan,ab tum mujhse baat bhi nahin karoge??(Armaan saw Mayank having stood at a distance from Mahi)Armaan,i'm really sorry for what i concealed from you..
Armaan:Sshh..(hugged her)Everything's fine,ok??(withdrew from his hug and caressed her face)Tum Mayank se pyaar karne lage ho..Iss mein main kyun gussa rahunga??In fact,i wanna thank you for calling up Maa when i was in Goa..(Mahi was shocked and confused at th same time)You don't have to feel guilty about anything,ok?Promise me,come on...
Mahi:(nodded)Pakka!!(smiled widely)Heyy Shreya,i heard about your promotion..Congratzz!!(Shreya simply nodded)Kya hua tujhe?
Shreya:Armaan,i'll get going..Got work to do..Bye!!Bye Mahi..
Mahi:What's wrong,Armaan?(Mahi turned around as Armaan headed towards Mayank)
Mayank:Hi Armaan...
Armaan:You've once warned me of not hurting Bharti ever..What an irony indeed Mayank,that you of all people,cheated on her with one of my dearest colleagues...To make things worse,you accuse Shreya of leaking information about the news of your relationship with Mahi??Let me warn you Mayank...Don't ever..Ever think of hurting Shreya or else things can turn ugly as well...Especially when Ashley has returned back for work!!Mahi was extremely taken aback by the revelation)
Sonali:(whispered)Ash's back??What the...
Mahi:Sshh!!Ab chal yahaa se..Kaam hain na,chal...(Armaan walked to the studio whilst Mahi and Sonali headed to the lift lobby and Mayank followed suit)Yeh toh peecha hi padh gaya..Chal,jaldi se andar chal!!(entered the lift and pressed the "Door Close" button repetitively,without having realized the signboard placed outside which read "Under maintenance,enter at your own risk",but Mayank's foot managed to stop the doors from closing and hence,he too entered;Mahi closed her eyes in frustration and stomped her feet mildly)

~LATEST PROMO~

Mahi:Yeah,liek i'm gonna believe you..Look,i just don't wanna listen to any of your crap,get it?
Mayank:You've got to!!!
Mahi:No,i don't!!(took out her iPOD and plugged in to listen to the mp3 songs)
Mahi's attitude simply aggravated Mayank to the core.It seemed to him as though she was passing strong vibes to him that he's the root reaon for all the problems in her life.Mayank attempted to control his anger at Mahi but then he didn't care either and instantly snatched the iPOD of Mahi's and hurled it across the floor.Mahi stood,drenched in anger as her earphones got smashed along with her iPOD which was no longer stood.She knelt down to take a closer look at it before she stood up and gave Mayank a death ray.

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 255~

Sonali got amused as she stood in between,observing Mayank on her left and Mahi on her right.Soon,it reached the first floor.Sonali realized that she had forgotten her car keys,and suggested to Mahi to go upstairs and get them for her.
Mahi:Arre,mere gaadi mein bhi toh chal sakte hain na??
Sonali:Uffo,tum samaj nahin rahe ho..Saare files mere car mein hain...Please yaar!!
Mahi:Ok fine!!(the lift doors closed while Sonali waited)
~Studio~
Jiya:Armaan,kya hai?Ghoor kyun rahe ho?
Armaan:Come on Jiya...Stop it for now!!What's going on?I know that you're hiding something from me..
Jiya:(was clipping the photographs she just developed)Armaan,do you mind answering the call for me?(Armaan saw Bharti's name and wondered if he ought to pick it up)Ab kya hua?Armaan,phone uthaao na..(Armaan reluctantly picked up)
Bharti:Jiya,Bharti here...Gosh,how long have i been trying your number?IN fact,i need to meet you and talk to you urgently...(Armaan fell lost in her voice and when Jiya was done,she snapped at him)Hello????
Jiya:(took the phone from Armaan and heard Bharti's voice)Bharti,hii...What's up??
Bharti:Weren't you listening to me??
Jiya:(looked at Armaan and covered her mobile)What was she saying?
Armaan:She wants to meet you urgently..
Jiya:(took her hands off)Sure,just swing by MU in the evening,k?Right now,i'm quite busy,Bharti..I'll be done by around 5:30 or 6 pm,so come around then..Ok??Bye..!!(hung up before Bharti could say anything)Armu,you could have spoken a word at least..
Armaan:She would have hung up instantly..Anywayzz,why does she want to meet you urgently??
Jiya:No clue!!But you're going nowhee when she comes...
Armaan:Excuse me??
Jiya:(rolled her eyes)As if,Armaan!!!
~Lift~
The lift was heading to the second floor,opening the doors unnecessarily in an ascending order as it headed to the third,fourth and fifth floor.All of a sudden,the lift got stuck after the doors closed.Mahi jerked a lil and looked around.The dim lights started flickering,adding to the much irritation that could fill up the threshold in Mahi's soul.Eventually,the lights went off and the lift stopped moving.She looked at Mayank who felt her suspicious eyes.
Mayank:Heyy,i didn't do anything!!(looked at the generator which managed to direct light between them)
Mahi:I'm not even talking to you!!Damn it!!(pressed the "Emergency Bell" button several times)
Mayank:(murmured to himself)This is the perfect chance to talk to her..Here she can't walk away and i surely need to win her trust at any cost!!
Mahi:(shuddered)Please,for God's sake,don't start talking to your deceased girlfriend now..It's just creepy!!
Mayank:What the...(paused before continuing)Did you even hear me mention Radhika's name??
Mahi:Oh well,i've heard you talking to her on some occasions,hence i'm free to assume that in this situation as well!!!
Mayank:(inhaled deeply before continuing further)Mahi,i came to Men's Universe for a reason..And what's with you not wanting to listen to me,huh??
Mahi:Who the hell do you think you are that i ought to listen to you??
Mayank:Just tell me why you're mad at me..(Mahi glared at him)Ok,if this is anything related to Niharika's suggestion...
Mahi:Wow...Someone's got brains!!(clenched her fists and banged it on the wall)
Mayank:Heyy,i had no clue of it whatsover,ok?
Mahi:Yeah,liek i'm gonna believe you..Look,i just don't wanna listen to any of your crap,get it?
Mayank:You've got to!!!
Mahi:No,i don't!!(took out her iPOD and plugged in to listen to the mp3 songs)
Mahi's attitude simply aggravated Mayank to the core.It seemed to him as though she was passing strong vibes to him that he's the root reaon for all the problems in her life.Mayank attempted to control his anger at Mahi but then he didn't care either and instantly snatched the iPOD of Mahi's and hurled it across the floor.Mahi stood,drenched in anger as her earphones got smashed along with her iPOD which was no longer stood.She knelt down to take a closer look at it before she stood up and gave Mayank a death ray.
Mahi:Just how dare you??
Mayank:If you had bothered listening to me earlier,none of this would happened...
Mahi:And what the hell makes you think that i'm going to listen to you now??
Mayank:I've destroyed your iPOD and apparently ad you can't run from here without hearing me out..
Mahi:Let me warn you,Mayank..You've got to pay HUGE and i mean it!!
Mayank:I guess i already am by being romantically linked to you..
Mahi:Argghh,will you stop it??I can't stan a second with you,get that??(continued pressig the emergency bell)Damn!!Why isn't this working??
Mayank:It's not as if i'm enjoying this recently acquired status,alright?I've seriously told you not o swing by my place but you just had to come,pay no heed to a single word of mine!!
Mahi:Cuz i have trust issues with you!!I will never trust you,especially after whatever i've gone through with you before..
Mayank:I was going to break us up but apparently that couldn't work..But as far as the suggestion was concerned,i know nothing,i swear!!(Mahi ignored him and started jumping;Mayank was annoyed to the core by her antics)What the heck are you doing??
Mahi:FYI,we're stuck in the lift...Jumping can help..
Mayank:Seriously,are you out of your mind??Where did you get this idiotic idea from??(Mahi stopped jumping and glared at him before resuming her jump)
Suddenly, Mayank was shaken up from where he stood and he simply couldn't believe it.
Mahi:OMG!!OMG,did you see that Mayank??(held his forearm)
Mayank:Yeahh...OMG!!(noticed Mahi having held onto his forearm)Mahi,you're right...
Mahi:Wohi toh main...(paused as she realized having held him)I'm..(instantly withdrew her hand)Sorry...Ok,ermm..
Mayank:Niharika's suggestion was a total shoker for me too,Mahi..I'm..
Mahi:As I count,jump with me,you get it?
Mayank:WHAT???
Mahi:1...2...3...Jump!!See that?
Mayank:Ok,th lift moved..Ok,erm...
Mahi:1...2...3..Jump!!(the lift didn't move this time round)
Mayank:(got amused)What happened,Mahi?
Mahi:Don't you laugh at me..It worked twice..
Mayank:(held Mahi's wrist,pulling her close)Listen to me for once and then you can carry on with your jumping jacks or other antics you have up your sleeve..
Mahi:Let go of my hand,Mayank..(saw a reflection of Mayank's adamant nature in his eyes)I said,let go!!
Mayank:Nahinn!!Jab tak tum meri poori baat nahin sunn leti,tab tak nahin!!!Mujhe Niharika ki prastaav ke baarein mein kuch bhi nahin pata,samjhi??In fact,main khud parishaan tha poore weekend par aur aaj bhi ki mujhe yaad tak nahin ki mere appointments shaam ko hain..Mere hi galti thi ki maine woh situation theekh tarha se handle nahin kiya a..I'm just so sorry!!Lekin aaj main tumse vaada karta hoon ke jald se jald main humaari break-up karwaaunga..Mere paas ek idea hain...
Mahi:Mere haath chodo Mayank...Main sunn rahi hoon..(Mayank let go of her hand)
Mayank:Main Nihu ko bol dunga ki hum ab alag ho chuke hain...
Mahi:Kis reason ke thor par?
Mayank:Reason..Ermm,yehi ki hum dono workaholis hain aur hum apne sapnon ke saath compromise nahin karna chahthi..Aur humaare sapne hi humaare priority hain iss waqt,yeh rishtha nahin...So??What do you think??
Mahi:(broke into a smile)Not bad;finally ek acha sa plan sunn rahi hoon..Lekin mujhe Raj ke saath discuss karni padegi kyunki maine hi usse keh diya tha ki jab usne raita fehla diya ain,woh khud saaf karega Niharika se baat karke..
Mayank:Main Niharika ka bhai hoon..Main khd solve karunga..Tumhe itna sa bhi barosa nahin hain mujh par??
Mahi:Tum vishwaas ke baarein mein baat kar rahe ho?You've got the audacity to ask me that when you've let Ash resume working in Trends and accused Shreya of spreading the rumour of our so-called romantic relationship??Puhhlease!!!
Mayank:FYI,it's none of your business to why exactly i've re-hired Ash to work for me as my secretary,alright??I can see that Shreya is still naive but what about you?Looks liek even after having worked in this industry for 4 years,you don't know that you've got to be much closer and in touch with your rivals than your friends..(Mahi was extremely surprised as she glanced at Mayank)What do you think?That i don't know that Shreya's innocent in this matter??But that's for her to figure out on her own..(Soon,both fell silent with occasional glancing at each other going on,not knowing what to say but wait for the lift to resume functioning which only took place a few hours later)Finallyy..The lift door's open!!!Thanks to your jumping antic!!It sure means one thing...
Mahi:Miracles can happen if we work together??
Mayank:Wrong..We are on our different destinations always,and it's time to part!!(Mayank left,leaving Mahi in thoughts)
Mahi:Totally...What the heck was i thinking???
~Men's Universe~
~@Sonali's cabin~
Mahi kept fidgeting to herself as she rummaged through Sonali's desktop,flipping through her files as she searched for her car keys,"Where the hell did she put her car keys now??Maybe i should just call her up and ask where she had kept it.."
As she took out her mobile and unlocked the keypad,she widened her eyes in shock as it was 5 pm already,which basically meant that she had spent a whole deal of 3 hours with Mayank.However,what surprised her was the fact that Sonali didn't call her at all.
Sonali:Finally,Ms Mahi Talwar..(Mahi turned around)You managed to get out of the lift..
Mahi:Where the heck were you?
Sonali:Excuse me??I should be asking you that..!!!
Mahi:If you haven't heard from me,why didn't you call me???
Sonali:I didn't bother at all!!
Mahi:What??
Sonali:In your repeated attempts to ignore Mayank,i forgot my car keys but what had to be coincidentally frustrating anf maddening was the fact that none amongst the 3 of us saw the signboard...
Mahi:What signboard?
Sonali:You haven't noticed??(Mahi simply blinked her eyes in ignorance)Just outside the lift we had entered,there's a signboard stating,"Under maintenance..Enter at your own risk!!"
Mahi:What the...
Sonali:Only when i reached the first floor and saw some technicians that is,after youtwo left for upstairs,did I realize about the signboard..And it wasn't a surprise that those technicians went to eat their lunch..I took the stairs instead,got my car keys and conducted our two meetings..
Mahi:And i had to spend the last 3 hours with Mayank..Argghh!!What the hell..
Sonali:Waise,the way he waited to talk to you,to get your attention at any cost,was somehow romantic na??(Mahi glared at her before hitting her elbow real hard with her files)What did he wanted to say anywayzz??
Mahi:That he knew nothing about the announcement and he's got a plan for the break-up!!
Sonali:Yeah right..(paused as she saw Mahi's silence and grew stunned)Really??Like what??What...What...What's the plan??(just then,Mahi's mobile rang)Don't take it..
Mahi:It's important,Sonu..Excuse me!!(went outside)
Sonali:Hmm,as far as the dinner was concerned,Mayank must have obviously come up with some stupid sa plan..(paused)But what could have garnered Mahi's support??
Mahi:(got back)Something wrong with you,that you're talking to yourself??
Sonali:Tell me the plan,quick..
Mahi:Not now..Gotta head home cuz i had forgotten an important file and the client's expected to be here anytime soon..Please cover up for me,k??Please??
Sonali:(got annoyed,folded her hands)Really Mahi??(Mahi nodded and headed out)Oh yes,don't forget to take the lift!!(Mahi turned around,cross with Sonali's sarcasm but she was rather amused by Sonali's childishness for her not revealing Mayank's plan)
Mahi:(hit her head as she thought)Gosh,not the lift again..Get down the stairs!!(walked down the stairs)
~Studio~
Bharti stood outside and gently opened the doors,voicing out to Jiya in the darkness.
Bharti:You there,Jiya?
Jiya:(switched on one of the lights)Heyy,come on in..I'm done with my work and was waiting for ya..Is everything ok?
Bharti:Everything's fine Jiya..But what the hell's brewing between you and my best friend,Payal??Why is she mad at you??
Jiya:(clipped the developed photographs,turning away from Bharti)How am i supposed to know,Bharti?You could have asked her yourself..
Bharti:So,you wouldn't tell me the part of your story??You wouldn't want to jutify for whatever that happened in London between you and Bhaskar,huh??(Jiya turned to her in shock)
Jiya:Me and Bhaskar??What..What exactly are you trying to say??
Bharti:What Payal told m and what she had overheard you and Bhaskar talk to each other..
Jiya:Bharti,i really don't get what you..(pondered about what Bharti was fuming about)Payal had not been talking to me on several occasions and this has really baffled me..
Bharti:Oh really,Jiya??You expect me to believe that there's no smoke without fire??
Jiya:What??
Bharti:Oh,don't you seem tensed,Jiya??What are you hiding from me about Bhaskar??
Jiya:What did Payal tell you?
Bharti:So you wouldn't admit about your crime in meddling and coming in between Payal and Bhaskar,right??(Armaan overheard their conversation as the studio door was slightly ajar)
Jiya:Yeahh,i wou..(paused)WHAT???W...Wh...What??Bharti,why would i do that??
Bharti:Aww,Ms Jiya Mishra is so innocent,yeah??Don't you dare lie to me,Jiya..Tell me what exactly happened in London between you two..
Jiya:For God's sake Bharti,nothing happened..But i just don't understand why you're asking me such questions...
Bharti:Cuz Payal heard you saying that if Bhaskar weren't married,then you would have..You're having an affair with Bhakar,aren't you??Where's Bhaskar??I tried contacting him but neither is his mobile reachable nor is h at home..Where did he disappear to??
Jiya:Look Bharti,i really don't know..And don't you blindly accuse me of having an affair with him,alright?I did admit to him,while unwinding up at a bar,that i had a huge crush on him in the earlier days when i joined Men's Universe but then at that point of time,i had no idea he was married..Plus i began to hate them as i got to know of his arrogance towards Armaan,me and Raj and our line of work..And perhaps i was quite drunk to have blurted it out to him but he just jokingly pulled my leg,saying that he would have fallen for me if he hadn't been married either..Later,when we headed to our different rooms,he just consoled me that someone'll enter my life real soon and i just gotta be a lil more patient..(Bharti looked skeptical)
Bharti:I don't know if there's an inch of truth in what you've just said..But you had a huge crush on him and you didn't bother informing me at least???
Jiya:Bharti,this is just preposterous...Why shuld i make a mockery of my crushed hopes then??Besides that,i am so happy for both Bhaskar and Payal..Please Bharti..(held Bharti's wrist)Trust me!!
Bharti:(took her hand from her wrist)You were there at Rohan's wedding,right??Payal had been disturbed way before..(took a few steps behind and away from Jiya)And it's all because of you???(Tears began forming at the edge of Bharti's eyelids)You've got no idea how much she means to me!!And if anything were to happen..Do you even know that she's thinking of divorcing Bhaskar????
Jiya:(was grief-struck)Bharti,main...
Bharti:Just shut up,Jiya..(fidgeted)I've got very lil time to sort this out before this situation takes a turn for the worst..(turned to leave but just then,she bumped into Armaan and dropped his photographs)I'm..(looked at him and recollected the note she wrote to him as she knelt progressively with Armaan to pick up the photographs;she passed them to Armaan after having gotten up)I'm sorry!!(tried to leave and did so but Armaan pulled her towards him)
Armaan:Bharti,Jiya aise kabhi nahin kar sakthi...Main usse achi tarha se jaanta hoon..
Bharti:Woh jaanti hain ki Bhaskar kahaa hain..Par woh toh yeh baat chupaa rahi hain..
Armaan:Main maanta hoon ki woh kuch chupaa rahi hain kyunki usne mujhe bhi nahin bataaya par iska matlab yeh nahin hain ke uske aur Bhaskar ke beech kuch..
Bharti:Mere haath chodo,Armaan..
Armaan:Nahin..Bharti,tumhe mujhpar itna bhi barosa nahin hain??
Bharti:Jaise tumhe Jiya ko lekar ina fikr hain,usse kahin zyaada mujhe apni sabse kareebi dost,Payal aur Bhaskar ki shaadi ki fikr hain,,Aur agar Jiya ke waje se kuch bhi hua na Armaan,yaad rakhna ki main usse meri ek aisa chehra dikhaaungi jo usne pehle kahin dekhi hi naa ho..e right
Armaan:Tum Payal ki itni fkr karti ho na??Woh tumhaari sabse kareebi hin na??Par ab main yeh jaanna chahtha hoon ki main kya hoon tumhaare liye..
Bharti:Goa mein woh chitti padhkartumhe samajh mein nahin aaya ki hum dono ke beech ab pehle ke tarha dosti nahin reh paayega,huh??Tum...(took his hand turned away)Humaare beech ab kuch bhi nahin hain...(her pupils moved to the left and the right repetitively,in an attempt not to ry and left from there)
Armaan:Damn it!!Yeh Bhaskar gaya toh aakhir gayaa kahaa???

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 256~

Raj:Now once you reach there,you're gonna give me a call,alright?
Khushi:Uffo Raj...Mere aur Niyati ke beech itna kuch ho chuka hain;ab aur kya hona bacha hain,hmm?
Raj:Waise Niyati hain kahaa?
Khushi:Washroom gayi thi na..Nidhi ne shayad number do kiya hoga..(saw Raj being all lost)Heyy,i think i just cracked a lame excuse..Where's your attention,hmm?
Raj:Mudke matt dekhna..(And Khushi did just that and smiled as she looked at Raj)Kya??
Khushi:You fancy her,don't you?Yes,you do!!!
Raj:No,i don't...
Khushi:Ahh,the common stage of self-denial,eh??Pretty obvious,don't you think?
Raj:Seriously,where's Niyati?
Khushi:Uff,baat ko ghumaao matt..Bol!!
Raj:I don't fancy Niharika,get it?
Khushi:Yeah,totally...I get it!!Unbelievabe..You've fallen for her,huh??By the way,does Mayank know?
Raj:Will you just shut up?
Khushi:Uff...!!(elbowed Raj and brought her chair closer to his)
Raj:What do you think you're doing?
Khushi:Nothing..(held his palm and placed her's on top and pressed firmly)She's looking at us right now,isn't she?
Raj:How am i supposed to know?
Khushi:Oho mere majnu,ek dafa dekh toh sahi apne laila ke taraf..Oops,apne Niharika ke taraf..(Raj got annoyed and instantly let go of his hand,just like a tower had just fallen and Khushi got amused)Oh dear!!Waise Raj,i think i shoud definitely inform Mayank about this!!Don't you think so?
Raj:You do just that and i'm going to throw your mobile in the garage!!How's the deal??
Khushi wondered what was taking Niyati so long and she began dialling her number.
Raj:Tu nahin maanegi na??Ab dekh ki main kya mazaa chakaa tha hoon..(snatched her mobile and threw it in the adjacent to their table)
Khushi:Rajj!!!!
Raj:Kyun?Tumhe kya lagaa??Ki tum Mayank ko phone karoge aur main yahaa chup chap sunn tha rahunga,huh??
Khushi:Duffer,main Niyati ko phone kar rahi thi!!
Raj:Kya??
Niyati:Khushi,chale?Sorry yaar,tumhaari phone call nahin uthaa paayi..Yeh Nidhi toh ro rahi thi aur..
Raj:Khushi ne tumhe phone kiya tha?
Niyati:Kyun?Kya hua?Ab tum Raj ko iss tarha ghoor kyun rahe ho aur gusse se bhi dekh rahe ho??
Khushi:Toh aur kya karoo??Iss janaab ne mera hi mobile ko khachre ke dibbe mein chod aaya hain..Nahin,nahin...Phek kar aaya hain!!Ab chalo Niyati!!(stood up and turned to go but Raj stood before both Niyati and Khushi who glanced at each other,containing their amusement as Raj pulled his ears)
Raj:Sorry...Please?Chaaho toh tum mere phone..
Khushi:Tumhaare phone ke saath main kya karoo??Tumhaare ex-girlfriends se baat karoo??
Raj:Arre yaar,ab tum hi ek solution do mujhe..
Khushi:Yeh huyi na akal ki baat..Ermm,kya kiya jaaye??Ek toh tum mere mobile uss khachre se nikaal ke do...(Raj cringed his nose,not being able to visualize putting his hand inside to get it out,almost wanting to puke)
Raj:Doosra option..
Khushi:Yeh aakhri option hain,bataa deti hoon..
Raj:Chalega,chalega..Bolo!!
Khushi:Niharika se I Love You bol daalo,fatafat!!
Raj:Kya??Yeh kya exchange offer hain??Nahin!!Main aisa kuch bhi nahin karne waala hoon!!
Khushi:Tumhaari marzi..Mujhe kya??
Raj:Matlab?
Khushi:Kuch nahin...(looked at a clueless Niyati who raised her eyebrow and Khushi simply shook her head)Chalo Niyati,it's time to go..Niyati,i'm sure Raj wants a hug from Nidhi..He's been with her for months and he must be very emotionally attached to her..Hmm Raj,she must be your youngest fling,na??(Raj's mouth widened in shock and Niyati hit her real hard)
Raj:Thanks Niyati,she deserved it!!(hugged Nidhi and rocked her to sleep)Awww,i'm going to miss you so much,babe..
Khushi:(looked around and murmured softly to Niyati while Raj was feeling the fingers of Nidhi and holding on to her,caressing her cheek)You start walking with Nidhi first..I'll come behind you,k??
Niyati:(whispered)What?Something going on in your head?
Khushi:Sshh..You'll see..(turned to Raj)Ok Nidhi,time to go or else we'll be really late!!(Niyati took Nidhi and hugged Raj)
Raj:You won't hug me Khushi??(looked around and just as she saw Niharika wo was about to leave with her friend,she shouted on top of her lungs while Niyati had started to walk off with Nidhi)
Khushi:NIHARIKA!!RAJ MALHOTRA HERE LOVES YOU SO DEEPLY AND CRAZILY!!HE'S DENYING IT RIGHT NOW BUT DEEP DOWN, HE JUZ CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YA!!(Raj covered her mouth instantly,feeling so flushed and embarassed but Khushi was not the type to back off and she kicked his tummy)HE'S A GREAT GUY,SO DON'T GIVE HIM UP FOR ANYONE,EVER...!!!BYE!!!(waved to Niharika who was as equally shocked and embarassed as Raj who turned to look at Niharika but Khushi turned his chin to face her)Jab dekhna tha tab toh nahin dekh rahe the...Ab kya hua??(pause before she smiled widely)Waise,you're forgiven and welcome by the way..(hugged Raj)Bye!!(smiled widely before she went through the departure gate for the immigration check-in with Niyati and Nidhi)
Just then.Raj received a call from Armaan from his place.
Raj:(waved to both Niyati and Khushi;Niyati was making Nidhi wave and Raj smiled before moving off and answered his call)Hello??
Armaan:Dude,it's Armaan..
Raj:Haan Armaa bol..
Armaan:Where the heck are you?
Raj:At the airport,just sent off Niyati and Khushi..Kyun?
Armaan:Huge problem!!
Raj:I'm listening..
Armaan:Bhaskar's missing..He's switched off his mobile for God knows,what reason..And Bharti's mad at Jiya..
Raj:Bharti came to MU today???
Armaan:In the evening to meet Jiya..
Raj:Ok,why is she mad??What's the huge problem?
Armaan:It all heads back to when Jiya and Bhaskar went to London for the fashion fiesta,remember?
Raj:Yeah i do remember but i'm still clueless of the prob..Carry on!!
Armaan:(narrated in full detail,including what Bharti had warned him of,to Raj)And i had specifically told Jiya to come over to my place and she did..But when i got out of the shower,she was no longer here...
Raj:So you are at your place and Jiya isn't right now...Dude,i think she must have felt guilty and perhaps had advanced to Bharti's place..
Armaan:Possible..Could you go over there and check for me??
Raj:Can't you just do that on your own??Why are you asking me??
Armaan:Cuz apparently Bharti wants me to stay away from her life...
Raj:Dude,i'm not going over there...In fact,you are!!Nidhi is gone and i need some time alone before i face my clients and their attorneys tomorrow..The one-year contract wasn't completed and i'm kinda screwed up..So right now,you go and defend our Jiya!!You don't have to worry about what Bharti or Payal may think!!
Armaan:And what about Bhaskar??He didn't come to MU today..Bharti's worried and she thinks that Jiya's behind this as well...
Raj:So go and prove her wrong!!Wait,have you tried checking any of the pubs he go to?
Armaan:Bharti must have checked out those places by now,right?
Raj:Good point..Well,in that case,i've got no clue..I'm heading to MU before heading home..Let me know about the situation at Bharti's place,alright?And do take care of Jiya!!
Armaan:Hhmm,ok bye!!(both of them hung up)
~Men's Universe~
Sonali:Interesting...At least this plan was so much better than the one he told me at his place during dinner..
Mahi:What did he say??
Sonali:Nothing so brainy but why are you so interested?
Mahi:I'm so not,alright?
Sonali:I really can't believe that you two spent hours in the lift...Just thinking of the past confrontations you've had with him,i seriously didn't think that you two would actually talk and manage to come out of the lift in one piece..
Mahi:Sonu ki bachi,tu mere haath se zaroor maar khaayegi!!
Sonali:Koi gall nahin,aadat si padh gayi hain..Chale??Waise,Raj ko bhi khabar karni hain na Mayank ke plan ke baarein mein..
Mahi:Arre haan par..Maine toh usse sirf subah hi dekhi thi..Phir bata nahin kahaa margayaa...
Raj:Gurlzz,you're still here?
Sonali:And you're finally back??Where did you go?
Raj:Long story cut short..To send off Nidhi,Niyati and Khushi to the airport..To London!!
Mahi:Acha sunn, i need to talk to you urgently...
Raj:Not now Mahi..I'm heading back home;itz been a long day and i'm anticipating Armaan's call anytime soon..
Sonali:Armaan's call?Anything we ought to know?'
Raj:Did you gurlz meet Bhaskar today?He's not picking up any of our calls...
Mahi:Not that i know of..
Sonali:Oh wait..I think i did see him today like around 3 or 4 pm..(looked at a confused Mahi)Arre,when you and Mayank were stuck in the lift..
Raj:What??
Mahi:Nothing at all..
Sonali:I'll tell you everything later..
Mahi:Can we get back on track,Sonu?
Sonali:He was with a client,i guess and he headed inside Rheo Pub..I tried calling him but...
Raj:It doesn't make sense at all!!
Sonali:What isn't?
Raj:I just hope Armaan's there with Jiya..
Mahi:Raj,what the heaven's going on??(Just then,Raj's mobile rang and he requested the girls to keep still as he placed his mobile on loudspeaker mode)
Bharti:Payal,just don't..(Payal didn't pay heed)No!!!!(Payal slapped Jiya across her cheek)
Payal:What were you thinking,casting your eye on Bhaskar,huh??(Mahi and Sonali gasped in shock)
Bharti:Payal,ek minute..Please mere liye,shaant ho jaao!!Jiya,for God's sake,ab oh apna mu khol kar bataao ki Bhaskar hain kahaan..
Payal:Yeh kya bataayegi?
Bharti:Payal,Naina so rahi hain na..Shaant ho jaao!!Jiya,i'm waiting..
Jiya:Bharti,i swear upon you..Mujhe sach much nahin pata ki Bhaskar kahaa hain..Aur jo kuch bhi maine tumhe MU mein bataaya tha,woh sab sach hain!!
Payal:Bharti,tum toh university gayi thi na?
Bharti:Haan,aur uske baad Jiya se milne gayi thi..
Payal:Oh i get it now!!Ab tum bhi mujhse baatein chupaane lagey ho,huh?
Bharti:Payal,aisi baat bilkul bhi nahin hain..Main sachh jaanna chahthi thi aur..
Payal:Aur?Aur kya,Bharti??
Bharti:Payal,yeh sirf Jiya ki taraf ki kahaani hain aur jab tak hum Bhaskar se baat nahin kar lete,tab tak hum koi nateeje par nahin pohanch sakte!!
Payal:Acha,Bharti?Toh phir woh kahaa hai?Agar Bhaskar waaqay mein innocent hain,toh usse toh yahaa pe hona chaahiye na..
Bharti:Payal,woh..
Payal:Don't you even defend him in front of me,Bharti..I know him way before you!!I've spent 7 years of my marriage with him but just as i'm beginning to revel in the longevity of my married life,i've got to know about him in this manner!!Bharti,tum sahi ho aur main galat!!Sacha pyaar jaise kuch bhi nahin hota hain iss duniya mein..(Bharti shook her head,in an attempt to stop speaking but to no avail)Tum bilkul sahi ho!!Main bhi itni foolish thi aise sochne mein ki Bhaskar,the man..Bhaskar ki casanova image shaadi ke baad badlega!!!(looked intently at Bharti with her welled up eyes)He has stopped loving me,Bharti and perhaps,the least i can do for him is to get a divorce!!!
Sonali:Oh crap!!Noo!!
Raj:Why isn't Armaan or Jiya saying anything??
Jiya:(was entirely numb with shock)Payal..(wiped her tears and ran towards her,pleading before her)Please,Payal..Don't be rash in this matter..Bhaskar was just consoling me that night and i promise that nothing had happened nor will happen ever in the future...Bhaskar's my dear friend too and i wouldn't want his life to be ruined because of me..!!
Payal:(went a step forward,looking her in the eye)You think i'm going to buy it??Never!!You've...You've hurt me deeply and so have you,Bharti!!(Bharti closed her eyes in pain and Payal stormed inside Bharti's room and locked the door)
Jiya:Bharti,please go and explain to Payal that she's doing the wrong thing!!
Bharti:Jiya!!I've seen rough patches of their married life but what are you hiding from me and Payal about Bhaskar?She's thinking of divorce...Do you even understand what that means??(shook Jiya)You've not only deprived her of her life but you've begun to isolate me from her..You're doing this despite knowing that Payal means the world to me,huh??(Jiya closed her eyes,letting her tears stream down her face and involuntarily,her shoulders sank in sync with her face;Armaan grabbed her and comforted her)
Armaan:(murmured as he hugged her)Don't worry,main sab sambhaalunga..Tum jaa kar gaadi mein baith jaao aur mera intezaar karo!!Jaao..(Jiya left and Armaan looked at BHarti)Bharti,tumhe aisa kyun lag raha hain ki Jiya..
Bharti:Maine pehle bhi kahaa hain tumse,Armaan ki mujhe Goa ke baarein mein kuch bhi nahin sunna hain,,It was a freakin' mistake,alright??Just stay out of my life!!!(turned away but Armaan held her wrist and forced her to look at him with her welled-up eyes)
Armaan:At this point of time,i can't help but interfere cuz my best friend is allegedly having an affair with your best friend..If i'm here,it's for Jiya and i won't tolerate a single word against her,Bharti!!
Bharti:(shook her wrist forcefully to remove Armaan's grip and thought)"Indeed,this has turned out perfect to distance him from my life!!"(looked at Armaan)Get out of my house right now!!
Armaan:I sure will,Bharti..I'll put an end to this matter for good for i know Jiya's a trustworthy friend of mine who woud never meddle in anyone's life!!And i don't need anyone's certificate to prove that!!
Bharti:Just leave and mind your own buiness!!(Armaan hung up,switched off his mobile and drove off while Bharti locked the door)
She couldn't digest what had just happened between her and Payal.She had no clue of what's the actual truth but she's certain of her friendship with Payal deteriorating along the way and she just got 2 more days to bring Payal and Bhaskar together.Bharti took her house keys and headed out in an auorickshaw at the main junction.Just then,she received a call from Mayank.
Mayank:Heyy..
Bharti:Hi Mayu..
Mayank:You sound so low,yaar..Sab theekh thaakh?
Bharti:Somewhat...You called regarding..??
Mayank:Was missing ya..And you haven't dropped by,ever since your visit to Goa..
Bharti:Aur kuch?
Mayank:Yeahh,a tiny problem to discuss with ya..
Bharti:Open the door,i'm outside..
Mayank:What??(Bharti rang the doorbell and hung up)Arre??Come in,come in..
~Men's Universe~
Raj:Nothing's going out from here,k?(Sonali and Mahi agreed)
Sonali:I'm still in shock yaar...Goa mein Armaan aur Bharti mile the??Kya bhool hua tha??
Mahi:Sonu,focus yaar..Bhaskar ko dhoondhna hoga..
Raj:Bata nahin ki Jiya kis haal mein hogi!!Mujhe bohat chinta sataa raha hain..
Sonali:Raj,tum ghar ja kar aaraam karo...Hum dono jaa kar kuch bhi dhoondhne ki koshish..
Raj:Pushpak aur uka maa ka kya,huh?
Sonali:Woh...(hesitated and looked at Mahi)Main phone karke bataadungi..Tension lena bandh karo,hmm??
Mahi:Jaao Raj,don't worry!!We'll contact ya if necessary,hmm?(Raj nodded and went off)Pehle humein Bhaskar ki cabin check karna hoga..Chal!!
~Bhaskar's cabin~
Both Sonali and Mahi entered his cabin,only to be shocked at lots of crushed papers lying around.This was never seen in his cabin for it was considered to be the neatest,in comparison to Raj's or Armaan's.
Mahi:Ok,something's definitely wrong!!
Sonali:We came in the right cabin,right?
Mahi:Uffo Sonu,we are in the right cabin but just look at the mess!!Atypical of Bhaskar..Unless...
Sonali:Unless..Someone came and ransacked his cabin..
Mahi:Or else Bhaskar was very much disturbed himself..He went to Rheo Pub,remember??
Sonali:Haan!!!Par Payal toh fashion fiesta ko lekar gussa hain na..Humne toh humaare pehle ki issue mein chapaa tha na iske baarein mein??Zaahir si baat hain ki photographs bhi honge..
Mahi:Arre par unn tasveeron ke sang hum Bhaskar aur Payal ko aur kareeb kaise kaa sakte hain??Unn dono ki shaadi daaw pe hain,yeh bhi toh socho!!
Sonali:Aur iss liye main keh rahihoon..Hum Jiya ko innocent saabit kar sakte hain!!Dekho,hum yeh dikhaadenge ke Bhaskar aur Jiya dono ek saath nahin,bhalke alag alag sections mein kaam kar rahe the,aur unwinding ke liye woh done pub mein gaye the,,
Mahi:Precisely my point..Hum yahaa atke hain!!Payakl ne woh dono ki conversation sunn li thi aur galat matlab nikaal diya hain..
Sonali:Crapp!!Ab toh phir se square one par aa gayi!!Kuch suraag dhoondh lete hain!!(Mahi nodded)
Mahi:(fidgeted under her breath)Humein yeh tak nahin bata ki humein kya dhoondhna chaahiye..
Sonali:7 years of marriage,yaar Mahi..Aise kaise ek hi jhatke mein??
Mahi:Bata nahin yaar par tumne suna tha na ki Bharti kya keh rahi thi??Bhaskar bhi kuch dino se alag si bartaav kar raha tha..
Sonali:Woh toh hain..Chalo kuch aise suspicious waale cheez dhoondh the hain..
Mahi:Talking of suspicious,take a look at this printout..
~Armaan's home~
Armaan:Tumhe wahaa jaane ki kya zaroorat hain??Maine kahaa tha na tumse ki jab tak sitution shaant nahin ho jaata tab tak tum..Lekin tum toh...Ab dekh liya na jaane ka kya asar hua hain...
Sudha:Ab mujhe koi bataayega ki Jiya ke saat kya hua hain...??
Armaan:Aapko itni hi shaukh hain toh apne laadli beti ko phone kyun nahin kar leti??
Sudha:Meri laadli beti??Armu,tum seedhe seedhe bataaoge ke nahin?
Armaan:Jiya,tu jaa kar aaraam kar..Jaao!!(made the bed in Sudha's room and closed the door)
Sudha:Bol kya baat hain..Itna parishaan kyun ho?
Armaan:Main aur Jiya Bharti ke ghar se aa rahe hain..(told her what had happened between Jiya and Bharti at MU and at Bharti's place)Yeh sab sunn kar aap chup kyun ho?
Sudha:Kyunki Bharti ki baaton mein sach hain!!Jab tak Bhaskar se baat nahin ho paata hain,tab tak koi thos faisla nahin kar sakenge..I really didn't anticipate the seed of divorce in Payal's mind at all..Unn dono ki shaadi ko kitne saal ho gaye hain?
Armaan:Saat saal..Kyun?
Sudha:Nahiin..Aaj kal toh couples chote mote misunderstandings ke kaaran divorce kar dete hain par saat saal toh kaafi achi baat hain..
Armaan:Maa,Bhaskar bata nahin kahaa ghayaab ho gaya hain aur aap ho ke...
Sudha:Main Payal se baat karoo?
Armaan:Nahin Maa...Filhaal mujhe nahin lagta ki yeh sahi waqt hain kyunki woh bohat gusse mein hain aur usse lagega jaise maine aapko r sab kuch aakar bata diyaa hain..Aur waise bhi,aapki beti toh khud yehi chahthi hain ke main uske zindagi se door rahoo..
Sudha:Kya?Kya kahaa tumne?
Armaan:(just realized what he had blabbered unintentionally and murmured)Yeh maine kya keh diya?
Sudha:Acha,tumhaare aur Bharti ke beech tension chal rahi hain,kyun?Meri laadli beti,hmm??
Armaan:Wohh...(Sudha raised his chin and her eyebrows)Usne mujhse kaha ki mujhe inn sabse door rehna chaahiye aur maine badle mein kaha ki main peeche nahin rahunga kyunki yeh meri best friend ki baat bhi hain..Woh kaun hoti hain Jiya par ilzam lagaane waali???
Sudha:Hmm,clashes of opinion,huh?Phir bhi tumhe koshish toh karne chaahiye the apne secret friend ko samjhaane mein..
Armaan:Aapko kya lagta hain ki maine koshish nahin kiya tha??(Sudha got amused,looking at her son's face)Maa!!
Sudha:Sorry Armu par jab bhi tum rooth jaate ho na,bohat cute lagte ho!!(pinched his cheeks)
Armaan:Maa,aapse baat karna toh ek dum bekaar hain..
Sudha:Acha,acha sunn...Tum...(paused as the telephone rang)
~Men's Universe~
Mahi:Don't you think we ought to inform Armaan and Bharti about this?
Sonali:Bharti,yes...But why Armaan?
Mahi:Cuz Jiya's involved as well!!We should call them together and...
Sonali:(her face sparkled)I've got a brilliant idea!!
Mahi:Ermm,you're creeping me out!!Bu anywayzz do tell..
Sonali:If you would have noticed,there is tension brewing between Armaan ad Bharti..
Mahi:Oh Gos Sonu,tu phir se focus se hatt rahi hain..This is not about them but Bhaskar and Payal!!
Sonali:Nope i'm not!!Agar hum yeh baat pehle Armaan keh dete hain ki Bhaskar ab London ke raaste mein hain,toh??(looked at the printout which was a copy of his flight to London)
Mahi:Main kuch samjhi nahin..
Sonali:Uffo meri Mahi,agar Armaan ko pehle khabar hoga toh woh Jiya ke liye kuch bhi karega usse innocent saabit karne mein,khaas kar Bharti ke saamne!!Don't we jut know how much Bharti's thoughts affect him?
Mahi:Aur Bharti?
Sonali:Bharti ko bhi bataadenge..Bas thode dher ke baad..Kya kehti hain?
Mahi:You mean to say that you're offering Armaan a chance to change Bharti's perspective of him and rekindle their friendship,hmm??
Sonali:Maybe and bring Payal and Bhasar together..
Mahi:What are you doing on your Iphone??
Sonali:Checking other flight timings to London..So that we can send both of them together!!I'll call Armaan first and after that you'll call Bharti,hmm??(Mahi nodded and Sonali started dialling Armaan's mobile)
~Mayank's place~
Niharika:(yawned and came out of her room with an empty bottle of water)Oh Bharti,it's you??
Bharti:Hi Nihii..Kaisi ho??
Niharika:Just too tired these days..(yawned)Sorry about that..(filled her bottle)You and Mayank keep talking,i'm off to sleep..
Bharti:Nitezz..(Niharika closed her room door upstairs)Bataao baat kya hai??Office ka tension toh nahin hoga..
Mayank:Actually woh bhi hain..Aur kuch aur bhi!!
Bharti:Matlab??Ek,ek,ek minute...Tumhaare aur Mahi ke beech sab kuch theekh hain na??
Mayank:Actually nah..Nahin...
Bharti:Ab kya kiya hain tumne??
Mayank:Tumhe har waqt aisa kyun lagta hain,Bharti,ki maine ki kuch galat kiya hain..??
Bharti:Mayu,i think mere instinct kaafi hadd tak sahi hain,tum dono ke maamle mein..Bolo kya hua hain..
Mayank:Woh..(hesitated and Bharti shook her head as she crossed her legs and faced him)
Bharti:What happened with Mahi?
Mayank:Bharti,it's actually her fault..I told her specifically not to come to my place for dinner as per Niharika's invite but she just had to come withSonali and ruin everything for me..
Bharti:Dinner??Kab??
Mayank:Arre yaar..Jab tum Goa mein thi na,tab..(turned away from him instantly as she recalled Armaan coming closer to her;Mayank paused and raised his eyebrow as he noticed her array of changed facial expressions)What's wrong Bharti??
Bharti:Nothing..Continue!!
Mayank:You'e creepy tonight!!
Bharti:Just continue,will you?
Mayank:Actually Niharika caught me and Mahi by surprise with her special announcement..That she wants us to get engaged..ASAP!!!
Bharti:WHAT??
Mayank:Precisely,i mean..
Bharti:Are you serious??This is such great news and you're only telling me NOW??
Mayank:WHAT??You're actually excited?
Bharti:Ahem,now what do you mean by that,huh?Of course,i'll be excited for my dear friend who's gonna get engaged!!(Mayank glared at her as she clasped her palms together)Ermm,what's the death glare for??
Mayank:No one's getting engaged,Bharti!!!
Bharti:But..That means you had no idea of the announcement??(Mayank shook his head)Btw,how did Mahi take it?
Mayank:She fled instantly with Sonali and she's mad at me..
Bharti:So,you didn't do anythin this time round and she's mad at you..(smiled weakly)What do you want me to do?Talk to her??
Mayank:Actually,it's not her i want you to talk to..It's Niharika!!
Bharti:Meaning??
Mayank:She's just hell bent on getting me married!!And you know how i feel about marriage..Remember our pact which you broke when you got married,hmm??
Bharti:Uffo Mayu,you love Mahi..I mean,you can get engaged but think about marriage some time later...
Mayank:You don't understand,do you Bharti??
Bharti:What?What is it,Mayu?
Mayank:Mahi and i have thought deeply..And she..She has different priorities and so do I..We're both career-oriented and you just know how much of a workaholic I can be..I haven't told Niharika anything as of yet..
Bharti:(widened her eyes in shock)Both of you have broken up?
Mayank:It's not official,as of yet,but yeahh sort of..
Bharti:(stood up instantly)How could you,Mayu??Just how could you??Did you even know how ecstatic Niharika was when she called me up after i got back from Goa,after attending Rohan's wedding??
Mayank:Iss liye keh raha hoon jald se jald yeh news..
Bharti:Kyun?Tumhe mujhe hi mila tha yeh news official karwaane ke liye,huh??
Mayank:Aisa nahin hain,Bharti...
Bharti:Toh phir kaisa hain??Divorce aur break-ups ki season chal raha hain kya aaj kal??
Mayank:(murmured)Divorce??(looked confused and shook his head)Tum pehle baith jaao aur shaant ho jaao...Yeh divorce ka kya chakkar hain??(Bharti told Mayank everything,pouring her heart out;Mayank placed his arm over her shoulder,hugging her while kissing her forehead)
Bharti:Tum jaante ho;maine Bhaskar ko har jagah,jahaa hum saath jaaya karte the,wahaa sab chaanbeen kiya tha par...Aur mere paas sirf do din bacha hain sa kuch suljhaane ke liye...
Mayank:Matlab?
Bharti:Mujhe,Alisha aur Sanjee ko London mein training attachment programme ke liye selection mil gayi hain..
Mayank:Kya???Iska matlab tum mujhe chod kar jaa rahe ho??
Bharti:Tum toh aise react kar rahe ho jaise ki main yahaa har waqt tumhaare paas hi rehti hoon..
Mayank:Bharti,you can't do this to me yaar..Tumhaare bina mera kya hoga?
Bharti:Kyun?Niharika hain na??Aur ab toh Mahi bhi...Seriously tumhe apne faisle ke baarein mein dobara soch lene chaahiye..
Mayank:Nahin Bharti...Woh mujhe nahin samjhegi aur naahi main usse..Maine toh tumhe hamaare doosre behes ke baarein mein nahin bataaya na??
Bharti:And i guess woh office ka tension hi hoga..
Mayank:Maine Ash ko kaam par waapas rak diya hain..Yeh baat kisi ko hazam nahin hua,kyunki maine Shreya ko bohat daatha tha mere aur Mahi ke relation ke baarein mein press mein leak karne mein..Jabki asal mein mere informer ke hisaab se yeh saara kaand Ash ne hi kiya tha...
Bharti:Toh tum jaan booj kar Ash ko hire kiya tha??Some sort of professional sabotaging and revenge??
Mayank:Maybe Bharti but you got the point!!Par ab mujhe nahin lagta ki main aur Mahi...I mean...I can't do this!!
Bharti:Tum aur Payal itni jaldi haar kyun maan rahe ho?
Mayank:Baat haar maanne ki nahin hain..Sawaal pyaar ki hain!!(thought to himself)"Wah,kya dialogue maara..Iss mein toh Bharti zaroor piglegi aur mere madat karegi!!"
Bharti:Seriously tum dono waaqay mein paagal ho..Pyaar ke liye break-up aur divorce!!What utter crap!!
Mayank:Bharti,tum samajh nahin rahi ho..
Bharti:Kya?Ki main yeh sab nahin mehsoos kar sakti kyunki maine abhi tak pyaar nahin kiya hai?Well,FYI,karungi bhi nahin..Aisa faltu cheezo ke liye kisi aur ko dhoondhlena..
Mayank:Acha,theekh hain par please mere madat toh kardo!!Niharika aur Mahi se baat kar do!!
Bharti:Mahi se kyun?Tum dono ko toh break-up ki bhooth chadaa hua hain na..Tumhe kyun farqh padhtha hain ki Mahi tumhaare baarein mein kya sochthi hain,mm??
Mayank:Mujhe nahin ta,alright?Par mujhe itna zaroor bata hain ki iss baar,uske soch galat hain aur woh door hoa chahthi hain..I think it's best to end things on good terms!!
Bharti:Theekh hain par yeh sab kuch Bhaskar ko dhoondhne ki baat hi karungi aur unn dono ko milaa kar hi karungi..
Mayank:Aur yeh main kaise maanloo ki tum mujhe madat karne nahin bhoologe??Aur tumhaare paas do din bacha hain;how do you even expect to resolve and save a marriage??How do you even expect to find Bhaskar in the first place??
Bharti:Nothing's impossible,Mayank..
Mayank:Mujhe nahin lagta ki aisa kuch hoga..Ek,ek minute..Mere job offer ka kya??
Bharti:(pretended to not know)Kaunsa job offer?
Mayank:Bharti!!!!
Bharti:Washroom ho kar aati hoon,hmm??
Mayank:Arre!!!
~Men's Universe~
Sonali kept dialling Armaan's mobile but it was switched off and hence she tried his landline number.
Sonali:Hi Aunty...Sorry to bother you at this hour!!
Sudha:Sonali...(looked at Armaan and raised her eyebrow;Armaan simply shook his head)What a pleasant surprise hunn..Sab theekh thaak?
Sonali:Yeah Aunty,actually Armaan hain kya wahaa pe?
Sudha:Haan,main bas usse bulaathi hoon...(handed over the phone to Armaan but took it back,much to his surprise,and switched on the loudspeaker as she placed the retriever in its place)
Sonali:Armaan,hii...
Armaan:Hi Sonu..Everything ok?
Sonali:Look,i heard about Bhaskar and i've got good news!!
Armaan:What?What?What is it?
Sonali:Bhaskar's on a flight to London right now,about 3 hours back..
Armaan:What??But why is he going to London for??
Sonali:Idk Armaan..But you've got to bring him back!!
Armaan:What do you mean?
Sonali:Look,Bhaskar's not the type to run away from problems,unlike Bharti...
Armaan:You know what??That is so true!!(lookd his mum in the eye and smiled)She just loves running away!!Ek,ek minute..Why are you telling me all these when you ought to have called her??
Sonali:Armaan,you think i don't know what's going on between you two??
Armaan:(Sonali noticed the smile on her son's face having vanished;instead,he was lost in his thoughts)"How can Sonu know anything that happened between me and...Bharti can't possibly have told her that we both.."
Sonali:Heyy,you there Armaan?
Armaan:Yeahh,but i'm not exactly sure what you're exactly saying..
Sonali:Did you think neither of your colleagues could see the fact that there's tension between you and Bharti...You can not only bring Bhaskar back but reunite him and Payal..And all the allegations against Jiya can be finally dissolved!!
Armaan:You're right Sonu!!Jiya needs me and i'll go miles to prove her innocent at any cost!!
Sonali:I've checked the flight timings Armaan...Tomorrow 9 am is the earliest..I've booked for you online and faxed it to you..
Armaan:Thanks Sonu..Thanks a tonne!!(Sonali hung up and so did he)Maa,i know you're hating the smile on my face right now but it's for the best..I'm gonna sleep since i've got a flight to catch!!(went to his room to sleep)

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 257~

~Mayank's place~
Bharti's mobile rang as Mayank browsed through some magazines and voiced out to her.
Mayank:Bharti,your mobile's ringing...
Bharti:Uffo Mayu,pick it up..I'm coming..
Mahi:Heyy Bharti,it's me Mahi..Sorry yaar itni raat ko phone kar rahi hoon par baat hi kuch aisi hain..
Mayank:God,this is unbelievable...
Mahi:Mayank Sharma??(checked her mobile twice and resumed talking)
Mayank:Yeahh,pretty much and here we're talking again..
Mahi:(murmured)I don't believe this!!Bed ke kis side se uthaa tha maine aaj jo iss sadoo se baar baar baat kar rahi hoon??
Mayank:Seriously you should really consider covering the part of the receiver which i can hear so clearly..
Mahi:You know what?I didn't cover it on purpose..
Mayank:How would i know,Mahi?The only thing i've gathered is the fact that you tend to pick fights with me and i get to be blamed by Bharti..
Mahi:You think i care?
Mayank:Seriously,i don't care either...
Mahi:What are you doing with Bharti's mobile?
Mayank:She's with me at my place but she's in the washroom...Bharti!!!
Mahi:How is that even possible??She was at her place an hour back..
Mayank:Do you mind?
Bharti:Heyy..What's up,Mahi??(heard Mahi's voice on the loudspeaker mode)
Mahi:Hi Bharti..What are you doing at the sadoo's place??
Bharti:Sadoo,huh??Is that the cute nickname you have for him?Now,don't be jealous for i'm here to meet my friend...
Mahi:Now why would i be jealous??
Bharti:According to Payal's love theory,any girl in love will feel jealous over the girl spending more time with her love..
Mahi:You're his dear friend,Bharti so why would i mind?Anywayzz,i called with an important info about Bhaskar!!
Bharti:What??
Mayank:Now,how is that even possible when Bharti herself couldn't find him??
Mahi:Mr Mayank Sharma,jus like you've got a bunch of informers,so do I...(Sonali got amused,hearing Mahi)Bharti,believe me..3 hours back,he had sat on a plane to London!!
Mayank:Yeahh right..And why would he go to London right now instead of solving his own marital problems,hmm??
Mahi:How am i supposed to know??I just wanted to inform Bharti,that's it...Bharti,the next earliest flight is at 9 am tomorrow...I..
Bharti:Mahi,thanks a tonne!!This is indeed perfect...I can bring back Bhaskar,solve their problems and head off to London too..Amazing!!
Mahi:Bharti,you're having a double trip to London??
Bharti:Oh yes Mahi,i forgot to inform ya...I'll be heading to London with Alisha and Sanjee for the training attachment programme...I got selected!!Okiezz,bye!!
Mahi:(sounded dull)Bye!!(hung up)
Bharti:What are you looking at me for,Mayu???
Mayank:You gotta be kidding me Bharti...We're not done!!!First,you've already forgotten my problem as well as my work proposal for ya...
Bharti:I haven't forgotten anything Mayu...I just don't think i can fit in Trends and that too as an assistant editor...Look at my qualifications,for God's sake...
Mayank:Look,i can talk to your supervisor and get the training needed here as well,Bharti...I really need you here!!
Bharti:What for,Mayu??
Mayank:Ok,serously what are you running away from??I've ben noticing you ever since i've mentioned Goa...
Bharti:Nothing...It's just your illusion,Mayu...
Mayank:Bharti...!!!
Bharti:I can't tell you,alright??
Mayank:Right,so i was right...Something did happen and you just don't wanna tell me...If you'll tell me,i'll let you go to London..
Bharti:You won't let me go in any way,right???Whether i tell you or not,you are just adamant on wanting to know...Well,i met Armaan and Jiya by coincidence at Goa...
Mayank:Armaan...Why does Armaan have to come into our problems,Bharti??
Bharti:What do you mean??What did he do to you??
Mayank:Well,FYI,he threatened me to not break Mahi's heart or i'll be messing with him...You know,along the lines of me blackmailing him not to hurt you in any way before...
Bharti:What?When did you??I don't believe you,Mayu!!!!You know what??Now,i'm not going to help you at all...This is ridiculous!!!!
Mayank:Bharti,woh sab toh beeti baatein hain na...Please!!!!
Bharti:Mayank,tum achi tarha se jaante ho ki mujhe yeh programme kis liye chaahiye...Sirf graduation ke liye hi nahin...
Mayank:Bharti,mujhe bata hain...Aur iss liye main tumhaari madat karna chahthi hoon...Mere liye aasan nahin hain mere aur Radhika ke relation ko bhoolna...Bharti,main aur chup nahin reh sakti...Mahi aur mere beech kuch bhi nahin hain...
Bharti:Kya??Par tumne toh abhi abhi kaha tha na ki tum dono ne abhi tak break up ke baarein mein sirf soch rahe the...
Mayank:Uss din jab tum achanak se mil gaye the toh mere mu se kuch nikal gaya aur tum kuch aur samajh the rahe..Aur upar se Mahi aur Sonali aur Jiya yeh chahthe the ki mera aur tumhaare break up ho jaaye..That's why i played along with the misunderstanding...
Bharti:WHAt???????
Mayank:Ssshh,dheere se!!
Bharti:You're still not over Radhika?There's nothing between you or Mahi??
Mayank:You got it right...Plus Niharika got this from you and with time things just got even more messier...
Bharti:Wow...First,Payal's thinking of divorce,then comes Bhaskar's news of heading to London and finally your revelation that you're not at all in love with Mahi...I'm just wondering why i'm not getting a panic attack by now!!!
Mayank:Bharti,i'm so sorry...
Bharti:Just shut up,Mayu!!!Main Niharika ko kaise...Kya samjhaao usse??
Mayank:Just don't let her know that there was nothing between us...Just inform her of the break-up;i promised Mahi that i would break her and me up asap!!!
Bharti:Aur uske baad kya,Mayu???You told me she's bent on getting you married...
Mayank:Look,i don't want to get Mahi into any more mess...
Bharti:Fine,i'll help you and not let Niharika know anything!!
Mayank:Is it a lot to ask if you solve my problem first???
Bharti:I swear i'll kill you...
Mayank:Please???
Bharti:Nope!!!Payal and Bhaskar comes first...And i promise you that i'll solve your problem before leaving for London,alright???
Mayank:Do you really have to go???
Bharti:Sshh...Let me see what i need to do right now...I can't possibly go to London without Naina...And i can't leave Payal in this state either...I need someone else to go in my place and bring Bhaskar back!!Bhaskar's not like me to run away from any miseries...There must be a reason for him to be in London...
Mayank:Wait a sec..I know someone who's in the immigration department...I'll call him and check it out...
Bharti:Do that immediately!!
Bharti dialled Amarjeet's number and attempted to find out Bhaskar's whereabouts and if he were sent on yet another business trip but her guess turned out to invalid and Bharti hung up.The only lead she's gotten is from Mayank's friend that Bhaskar got a first class ticket and the next earliest flight to London is 9am the next day.
Bharti:Wait..What are you doing?
Mayank:Sending him my details for the London trip tomorrow...
Bharti:(stopped him from typing any further)No,don't do that..I've got a better plan!!
Mayank:But you just told me that you wanted me to cancel my appointments and go...
Bharti:Yeahh but i think it's better if Naina,Payal and I go and meet Bhaskar personally...
Mayank:But you don't know where Bhaskar will be,unless...Hold it!!
Bharti:What?
Mayank:Hold on...(talked to his friend and hung up after a while)Well,one of my informers,is in London..He'll help follow Bhaskar but before you ask..(took Bharti's mobile)I'm sending him a photograph of Bhaskar!!I'll give him your contact number and he'll text you of Bhaskar's whereabouts..
Bharti:Wait..In that case,i'll need to inform Payal of this short trip to London,not to meet Bhaskar,of course but just to divert her attention elsewhere..Let me just call her up..
Mayank:Yeahh you do that...I'll be right back!!
~Mahi's place~
Sonali:Finally,our plan is going to work..
Mahi:Duffer,don't you realize that in the midst of uniting Payal and Bhaskar,Bharti's gonna head to London??
Sonali:Apparently Mahi..She has to go,na??
Mahi:Don't you understand??She got selected for the training attachment programme in London!!
Sonali:Uffo,it's not as if she's never going to return to Mumbai yaar...
Mahi:She's going away from us,Sonu and that is something we've gotta accept and that includes Armaan as well..Hence there is no point...
Sonali:She won't be able to go once everything gets resolved between her and Armaan...
Mahi:Sonu,we are no God to play with their lives..If nothing has worked till now,then there's no hope!!And i just don't know how Armaan's going to take it..Guess i've become so attached to her friendship in such a short span of time that..
Sonali:Yaar,she can never go far from us..We'll talk to her once she's back with Bhaskar and Payal,hmm??Plus,we'll head early to the airport as well...
Mahi:Hmm ok!!
~Mayank's place~
Mayank:So what did she say?
Bharti:Thank God she agreed..It'll surely shift her mind for some time before she meets Bhaskar!!Plus,it'll be a short trip for Naina as well..
Mayank:Your princess's pretty lucky by the way,having frequent travels..
Bharti:So toh hain..Meanwhile,you'll talk to Nihi,k?
Mayank:Bharti!!!
Bharti:Trust me Mayu,she'll feel so much better if you were to tell her personally instead of me and bring Mahi along too..Nihi will surely understand!!She's mature enough..
Mayank:Yeahh right..
Bharti:Mayu,trust me yaar...
Mayank:Fine,on one condition!!
Bharti:Oh God..No Mayu!!!Not the job,please!!
Mayank:What are you running away from,this time round?
Bharti:Nothing...What are you...
Mayank:So,what's stopping you from accepting my job proposal??
Bharti:I'm under-qualified,simple?
Mayank:That's not even an excuse..In fact,you ought to be grateful that i'm kickstarting your career for ya..
Bharti:I know Mayu,but i got selected for the programme in London,remember?
Mayank:Ohhh...Darn it,na Bharti?But you know what..I can talk to your supervisor,Dr Graham and convince her..
Bharti:Nahh,that' not even necessary..I...
Mayank:What happened in Goa,Bharti?Ohh,don't give me that look of your's...I've spilled my beans and now it's your tur!!!And i've been noticing that ever since I've mentioned Goa,you just turn your face away,whch makes it so apparent that you're hiding something...
Bharti:The same root of the problem in our lives at the moment...I met him and Jiya at Rohan's wedding..
Mayank:Armaan??What was he doing there??
Bharti:Some exclusive outdoor photo shoot...Rohan invited him and Jiya and they came..
Mayank:So,what's there to hide?
Bharti:Damn it,Mayu!!I just wished i knew about Payal's problem way earlier..At least,i wouldn't have made such a BIG mistake in my life...
Mayank:What mistake?
Bharti:Armaan and I..(paused for a while)We kissed...It was an unintended,brief moment and nothing else!!
Mayank:Bharti,how could it just happen?And you're only telling me about it now???
Bharti:Look,i've not told anyone anything and i just wanna forget the whole icident..I've told him to stay aay from me for good and that we can no longer b the kind of friends we used to be..
Mayank:And how did he react?(Bharti kept mum)Look Bharti,i really don't think that he would have taken it the way you would have wanted him to..But tell me something...Are you...in love...with him???
Bharti:(answered him abruptly)NO!!No wayzz,Mayu!!I'm not in love with anyone,alright?
Mayank:Wait a sec..You're refusing my job proposal because you're running away from Armaan??From facing him??You're actually letting him decide your career??
Bharti:Mayu!!!!
Mayank:Don't shout!!Why is he important to you,Bharti??(Bharti turned away)Bharti,look at me and tell me what's going on...
Bharti:He loves me but i don't,alright??I care for his happiness for at one vital phase of my life,he had helped me,be it out of revenge,but he did help me via the contract marriage..I don't know how many times i've broken his heart by pretending to be unaware of his emotions towards me but now because of this stupid mistake of mine,he feels as though i'm...I'm just trying to push him away from me,my life and my past!!!
Mayank:Bharti,don't you realize somethnig by now??The more you try to push him away,the more closer he's getting to you and your thoughts!!
Bharti:I've been fighting this emotion for months and yet i don't have a solution..
Mayank:Leave it to me;i've got a perfect solution for ya..Trust me,you'll be grateful to me!!For now,go and get some rest..We'll wake up early,pick up Payal and Naina along the way to the airport,hmm?(Bharti nodded and slept in Mayank's room while he slept on the sofa)
~Next Day@Airport~
Mayank was at a registration counter with Payal and Naina while Bharti excused herself to the washroom.Just across the counter distant from that of Mayank's,stood Mahi and Sonali.
Mahi:(grabbed Sonu's T-shirt)Oh crap!!What is Mayank doing here??
Sonali:Where??(Mahi gestured to her to look across)Yeahh,why is he here??(walked as she got the boarding ticket for Armaan as she walked off with Mahi)
Mahi:Payal aur Naina bhi hain saath mein..Toh phir Bharti kahaa hain??Kahin Mayank London toh nahin jaa raha hain,huh?
Sonali:Let's wait at the departure gate for Armaan..What's taking him so long??
Mahi:He's coming..Heyy,look...Bharti's coming out of the washroom..(stood stunned as Bharti bumped into Armaan and fell into his arms)
Bharti saw Armaan gazing intently at her and she abruptly stood upright,taking a few steps behind.She looked to her sides.Despite his questioning if she was alright,Bharti turned away and rushed from there without turning back.
Mahi:Sonu,you still think there's any hope left?
Sonali:We'll talk about this later..Hmm come!!
Just then,both Mayank and Armaan came face to face with the boarding tickets.Mayank was surprised to see Armaan with Sonali and Mahi.
Armaan:Mahi,i can't reach Maa..Do me a favour;pass this note to her,hmm?(Mahi nodded)Chalta hoon..
Mayank:Hey you guyzz,,(looked at Payal and Naina)Have fun,k?(hugged Bharti and murmured)Remember what i said,Bharti...Leave your prob to me;it'll be solved just like that..Don't worry so much!!Keep me in the loop and thank you for coming over last night..(withdrew from his hug)
Bharti:Naina,chale?(Naina planted a kiss on Mayank's rigt cheek and forehead before waving to him and Armaan)Chalo princess..(waved to Mahi,Sonu and Mayank before leaving)
Mahi and Sonali were about to go whe Mayank voiced out to Mahi.Mahi glanced at Sonali and raised her eyebrow,looking at her blankly before he stood before her.
Mayank:Where is Armaan headed to?
Mahi:Why???Didn't you ask him??(waved to Armaan one last time before he advanced and Mayank then realized)
Mayank:He's heading to London??
Sonali:What's your problem,Mayank??
Mayank:Damn it!!Don't tell me that he's going there in hopes of meeting Bhaskar...
Mahi:Of course,he is..What's your problem,huh?
Mayank:(murmured)Crap!!Bharti's plan might get foiled and Payal may figure everything out ahead of time..I need to text Bharti about this!!(SMS-ed Bharti instantly)
Sonali:Plan?
Mahi:Chalo Sonu..
Mayank:Ek minute..I don't wish to delay anything further,Mahi...
Mahi:What??
Mayank:Come with me..
Mahi:Excuse me?Where to??
Mayank:My place..We need to talk!!
Mahi:Oh hello,I'm not coming anywhere with you,alright??
Mayank:(looked to his left and right before staring right into her eyes)Don't!!Don't make me compel you to bring you with me,alright??(Sonali was stunned)
Sonali:(stood before Mahi)How dare you talk to her like that?(glared at him)
Mayank:FYI Sonali,this is between me and Mahi,so stop meddling..(shoved her aside)
Mahi:Don't even think about it,Mayank...Who are you to shove my best friend??
Mayank:Come with me and you two don't have to create a scene by defending each other...
Mahi:You want me to come with you?Fine!!!First,apologize to Sonali!!
Mayank:What??
Mahi:You heard me..(Mayank glared at Mahi who stood firm;without thinking twice,he held Mahi's wrist and dragged her along with him and Mahi kept looking back to Sonali who was totally shocked)Chodo mujhe...(her cries fell on deaf ears as Mayank pushed her inside the front seat of his car and drove off while Sonali was too late to reach her best friend)
Sonali:I'm not letting her go alone with Mayank!!!(got inside her car and headed to Mayank's place)
~After some time~
Sonali received a call from Jiya from MU.
Jiya:Sonu,where are you?
Sonali:Somewhere out,Jiya..Need anything?
Jiya:Raj and i might need a HUGE favour from you..We're both at MU..
Sonali:Both of you are already at MU?
Jiya:What do you mean by that??
Sonali:I mean,Armaan told us that you were totally disturbed last night and i too expected Raj to take some days off,as he seemed quite low ever since Khushi and Niyati left with Nidhi..Anywayzz,how can i help?
Jiya:Could you reach MU asap?
Sonali:Is it really urgent?
Jiya:Yeahh,or else i wouldn't have disturbed ya..
Sonali:Am on my way..Cya!!(hung up)Damn it!!I just wish Mahi reaches MU asap!!I won't spare that idiot if he harmed her in any way!!!

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 258~

~University~
Alisha and Sanjana went to meet Dr Graham personally.They were allowed to enter but Dr Graham gestured to them to take a seat each while she attended her call.
Dr Graham:Yes Mayank,you're Bharti's friend,right?
Mayank:Yeahh..I'm her close friend..Actually she asked me to pass a message of her's..
Dr Graham:Hmm,what is it?Actually i've been waiting for her reply..
Mayank:She's gone to London due to personal matters..
Dr Graham:Personal issues??She didn't address any of them to me..
Mayank:Actually she was in a rush today and hence she couldn't inform you..
Dr Graham:Go ahead..What's the message??
Mayank:That she's willing to head to London for the attachment programme..(Mahi closed her eyes and shook her head,as she recollected having discussed her fears with Sonali)But ma'm,I have a proposal fo you..(Mahi opened her eyes)
Dr Graham:Proposal??
Mayank:I've offered her a job in Trends and it's a very promising one indeed,that of an Assistant Editor..(Mahi glanced at him in amazement)
Mahi:(thought to herself)"Wait a sec..Isn't that what Gyaan was applying for??(remembered sneaking at and snooping about his and Vinita's cabins a few weeks back)OMG...If Mayank is offering Bharti the job,then she'll surely accept the job and stay here!!"(smiled widely at the thought and continued listening)
Dr Graham:You mean,in your fashion magazine??But i'm really sorry,Mr Mayank Sharma..She has already been selected and is one of my promising candidates..
Mayank:But Dr Graham,is it possible if she could work here for a month or two before heading there for the training??I mean,this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her..It would be a great asset for her career to get kick-started!!I can vouch for that since a lot of her colleagues from Men's Universe had written testimonials about her,which is truly encouraging..
Dr Graham:Has she agreed to your offer?
Mayank:She hasn't,as of yet, for she was pretty much in a dilemma,choosing between my job proposal and the training programme,which she had been waiting eagerly for,since months..She told me she'll be back in two days but i thought of contacting you and discussing the official matter with you first before coaxing her..
Dr Graham:You're such a manipulator,Mr Mayank Sharma..You called me so that you could withhold my best candidate to work with you,hmm??Give me a day to think about it and i'll let you know!!
Mayank:Hmm alright..In any case,you have my number..Thanks for hearing me out,Dr Graham..Bye!!(hung up)Mahi.listen..It wasn't right of me to drag you from the airport like that..I'm sorry but my only intention was to get you to come with me for i needed you at my place when i was going to talk to Niharika about our break-up!!
Mahi:Break-up??
Mayank:Yeahh!!In fact,i'm going to talk to her right now but please don't mention anything about the reality of us not being a couple in the first place..In fact,i was just going to go with the differences in priorities,worhaholic natures and no proper communication between us..Come!!l
Mahi:(murmured)Gayi bhains paani mein...And here i thought i could ask him about what Dr Graham said..(Mayank knocked on the glass window,breaking the chain of her thoughts and she got out of the car and Mayank rang the doorbell)
Mayank:(Niharika opened the door)Nihu,are you going somewhere??
Niharika:Uffo Mayu,yeh kaisa sawaal hain??Kaam par jaa rahi hoon aur kya??Arre Mai,tum yahaa??Kaise??
Mayank:Airport par mila tha..Niharika,baith jaao..Mujhe tumse kuch zaroori baat karni hain..
Niharika:Huh??Niharika??Kuch serious baat toh nahin,Mahi??(Mayank locked the door)
Mahi:(glanced at Mayank)Woh darasal...
Mayank:Main bata tha hoon Nihu par tumhe mujhe promise karni hogi ke chaahe kuch bhi ho jaaye,tum mujhse ya phir Mahi se naaraaz nahin rahoge aur tum yeh baat maturely handle karoge...
Niharika:Mayu,tum yeh gol gol baatein kyun kar rahe ho??
Mayank:(knelt dwn on his knees before Niharika)Baat yeh hain ke Mahi aur mere beech..(paused)I mean...Hum dono ne bohat socha,humaare alag priorities ko lekar..Tum toh jaante ho ki main kaam mein itna ulaj jaata hoon ke kabhi kabhi tumhaari calls return nahin karta hoon aur naahi ghar aata hoon..Aise mein,mere aur Mahi ke beech yeh communication ka deewar khada rahega har waqt..Aur tumhe toh bata hain ki communication zaroori hain ek successful relationship ke liye..
Niharika:Tum dono...You guyzz are breaking up??(Mayank held her palms but she withdrew them instantly and stood up and away from Mayank,trying to grasp what he exactly said seconds ago)OMG!!!!(felt her head throbbing)But both of you love each other...I mean,things can work out,right Mahi??No,this can't be happening...
Mayank:(shook her)Nihu,get a hold of yourself!!You've got to understand and take this maturely..I know you want me to settle down in my life..But i guess the relationship..(glanced at Mahi) that i share with Mahi is a complicated one and it's best if it's kept as an incomplete one!!Some love stories are never meant to be,Nihu and you've got to accept it,for my sake,hmm??
Niharika:(her eyes were welled up)And i thought my Mayu has found his life partner once again..(hugged her brother intimately and Mahi,then realized that her eyes got welled up as well,surprising her)
Mayank:Heyy,what is this,Nihu??Bharti told me that you're way more mature than me and here you are,crying...(Niharika instantly wiped her tears and withdrew from Mayank's hug)
Niharika:Who told you i was crying??Bharti is so right!!Now,you go ahead and get dressed..I'll get all of us a coffee each..
Mahi:Nihar,it's totally ok;i'll get going..
Mayank:Mahi,have the coffee..I'll drop you at Men's Universe..
Niharika:Come Mahi..(started to boil water on the stove and turned around)Is it because of my sudden announcement during the dinner,Mahi,that you two decided to break up??
Mahi:No...No,Nihar..It's nothing like that!!It's just crazy..I mean,i never get the time off my hectic schedule and neither does he..
Niharika:Can't you prioritize?Isn't your relationship important at all??
Mahi:To be frank Nihar,both of us barely got to know each other and we're both not ready for a deeper level of commitment as of yet..I'm afraid it's just not going to work out!!I guess we're still stuck to each other's past and are not ready to move on!!
Niharika:Are you talking about Radhika??How Mayank talks to himself,when he justifies,stating that he's talking to Radhika??
Mahi:Initially it creeped me out when i had heard him at one of the social parties..But then i didn't ask him anytihng further,for it is his past and i didn't want to..
Niharika:Radhika's the best thing that had happened to him in his entire life..I had only met her like five or six times since i was abroad,busy with my work and studies..I only came over to Mumbai during parts of my vacations..But..(tears streamed down her cheek)
Mahi:The coffee..(switched off the stove and wiped Niharika's tears)Is everything ok,Nihar??
Niharika:I can never forgive myself for not being there for Mayu when he needed me the most!!I was abroad and he almost fell into trauma when Radhika passed away but had Bharti not been there,he would have killed himself,committed suicide..Bharti's a guardian angel in our lives and she had called me up and i tried to reach as soon as possible but i had to choose my examz over my Mayu!!Bharti was equally devastated for Radhika was her support system and yet she couldn't save her..Bharti not only had to console Mayu but she had to console and comfort me for the remorse and the gult that was apparently embedded deeply within me..Now,i'm ever so thankful to her for having brought even an inch of a smile on my Mayu's face..Mahi,mere Mayu itna bhi bura nahin hain...
Mahi:Main jaanti hoon,Nihar..
Niharika:Then why are you...(paused)I'm really sorry..I'm not trying to compel you or anything but it's just...How do i make you understand??(fidgeted)I've got not much time or else i would hav handled myself better...
Mahi:Not much time??For what???
Niharika:Nothing Mahi..Have your coffee!!
Mahi:What is it,Nihar??(just then,Niharika started coughing badly and Mahi instantly poured a glass of water for her and helped her out while she noticed Niharika grab some pills and eventually she was alright)
Niharika:I'm fine,Mahi...
Mahi:But pills?
Niharika:Ohh,i was unwell a few days back,so these are just some antibiotics,that's all...
Mahi:Are you sure??
Niharika:Yeahh,of course..
Mahi:I'm sorry Nihar,that things didn't work out...
Niharika:Ahh..I can't say that i forgive you but it'll take some time for me for this revelation to sink in my head..(wiped her tear)Promise me something...That if Mayu faces a problem in his life when i'm not around,you'll be there for him!!
Mahi:What?But.
Niharika:Promise me,Mahi...
Mahi:I...I...I promise!!But why are you saying such inauspicious things??I mean you're always there for him..
Niharika:That's the deception that i've been facing for the past few months...
Mayank:Nihu,mere red tie kahaa hain yaar??
Niharika:Uffo Mayu..Mahi,main bas abhi aayi..Coffee peeyo!!!
Mahi:Hmm ok..(got confused over Niharika's words about deception and the promise she had just made to Niharika)Woh aisi baatein kyun kar rahi thi??(took a sip of the coffee and looked around before checking the name of the pills which Niharika took and instantly kept it away as she saw Niharika and Mayank coming downstairs)
~Men's Universe~
Sonali:Sorry yaar..Traffic bohat tha..
Jiya:It's ok...
Sonali:So,what's the emergency??
Jiya:Well...
Sonali:Before that,tell me something...What are you two doing here??I mean i heard everything from Armaan last night about what had happened between you and Payal and Mahi and I had personally asked Raj to take some days off since he's feeling quite low since the departure of Nidhi...
Jiya:I had to bring him out from the dark...He wasn't answering any of my calls and was sleeping away...He's in a mess!!
Sonali:Mess??
Jiya:He didn't have to say anything but his house just gave it away...
Sonali:Let me get coffee for all of us..And wake him up!!If Amarjeet saw him like that,then we all know what can possibly happen..
Jiya:Well,it's still quite early and he's not here yet..
Sonali:I'll be right back with the coffee...
~After some time~
Sonali:He hasn't woken up yet???
Jiya:He won't wake up like that...Just look at what i'm gonna do..(took a cup of coffee and gently took Raj's finger and dipped it in the cup of hot coffee)
Raj:Ouchhh!!!!Owww...(shook his finger repetitively)Jiyaaa,you idiot!!!Aise koi uthaa tha hain kya???
Sonali:Good morning!!What the heck are you doing here when i told you to take some days off??
Raj:Ask her..She dragged me all the way here...
Sonali:Spill it then,Jiya...
Jiya:Whatever you've heard from Armaan...It's all staged!!
Sonali:WHAT??
Jiya:Sshh,mellow your expressions,for God's sake!!!Actually Bhaskar had contacted me via SMS last night a day earlier...That he's planned a surprise for Payal,which he wouldn't tell me either...But all i know is that it's a huge surprise for her...And he's...
Raj:Excuse me..What did you just say??You mean to say you got slapped by Payal for no reason...Aise hi???
Jiya:Actually...
Sonali:Ohh crap!!!!What the heck have Mahi and I done???Damn it Jiya,couldn't you have told us earlier???
Jiya:Ok,what's wrong Sonu???(Sonali told Jiya and Raj what she and Mahi planned)
Sonali:Arre,maine toh socha ki iss tarha Armaan aur Bharti ke beech ki jo dooriyaan mit jaayenge..Aur saath saath Payal aur Bhaskar ke bhi patch up ho jaayegi..Par mujhe kahaa pata tha ki yeh sab kuch ek drama tha??Aur asliyat kuch aur hi hogi???
Jiya:Sonu,look...I only talked to Bhaskar yesterday..You can say it's staged in a way but for a good reason..I mean,it wasn't intentional..And how was i supposed to know what you had planned??Ahh,Armaan didn't want to wake me up and tell me where he was going,now i get it...If he had,i could have cancelled his trip!!
Raj:Oh really,Jiya??You could have??I mean you would have??It's kinda hard to believe since i thought you'd be the first to push him to Bharti...
Jiya:Raj,stop it!!!I won't push him to Bharti any longer,especially after trying my best at Goa..(Raj gestured to Sonali to look at Jiya)I've given up on Bharti for good and my dearest frind deserves so much better than her..!!(Sonali raised her eyebrow whilst Raj almost choked)
Sonali:Serious??I mean,i've been hearing this thing about Goa but tell me,what exactly happened in Goa,hmm??
Jiya:Actually..
Raj:(tapped Jiya's back and shoulders)Come out,i say..Come out!!
Jiya:What the hell,Raj??What are you doing??
Raj:Get me my Jiya back..She wouldn't even think of giving up on Armaan and Bharti at all,even if God were to intervene!!(Sonu got amused)
Jiya:Tu kyun hass rahi hain,huh??Aur Raj,tum..Paagal ho gaye ho??
Raj:Paagal nahin hua hoon..Bata nahin kitni bar maine tumhe samjhaaya hoga par tumhe toh hameshaa apne manmaani karni hi thi aur hameshaa unn dono ke peeche hi padhe the..Koi dual personality toh develop nahin kiya tha na Goa mein??
Jiya:Very funny!!
Raj:Then laugh...(grinned)
Sonal:So this was the emergency??(murmured)Bata nahin woh Mahi abhi tak uss sadoo ke saath kya kar rahi hain..
Jiya:Sadoo??
Raj:Mahi abhi tak Mayank ke saath hain??(stifled his amusement)
Sonali:Raj!!
Raj:No,i heard something happened in the lift till evening..And someone was supposed to feed me the details!!
Sonali:Ab mera mood bilkul bhi nahin hain..Excuse me!!(dialled Mahi's number)Hello??Kahaa ho tum Mahi???Don't tell me ki tum abhi tak uss sadoo ke saath ho...Kab se main tumhaari intezaar kar rahi hoon MU mein..Mujhe bilkul bhi acha nahin laga jab woh tumhe daseet ke uske gaadi mein lekar gaya..I mean,how dare he just shove me away,drag you from you the airport,huh???I was about to follow his car but i had to come to MU for an emergency...Hello...Are you even listening to me,Mahi???
Niharika:Ermm Sonali,right??Hi,this is Niharika!!
Sonali:Niharika???(Raj stopped sipping his coffee upon hearing Niharika's name)
Niharika:Ermm Sonali,Mahi washroom mein hain..Aur main Mayank ke bartaav ke liye maafi maangna chahthi hoon..Mujhe nahin pata tha ki Mayank aisa kuch bhi karega par mujhe ab yakeen ho gaya hain..Ki shayad mere Mayu ab tak mujhe khush karne ki chakkar mein tha..
Sonali:(thought to herself)Yeh Niharika kya bole jaa rahi hain??
Niharika:Shayad meri inn aankhon ne dhoka khaa liya tha...Maine hi usse zor diya tha shaadi karne ke liye..Par meri iss faisle ke waje se maine Mayu aur Mahi ko itna dukh diya hain...Ki aaj main apne aapko sambhaalna bhi mushkil mehsoos kar rahi hoon..
Sonali:Niharika,tum yeh...Kaisi mushkil??(Raj got concerned but just then he received Armaan's call and excused himself for a while)
Niharika:Sonali,Mayu aur Mahi ne break-up kar liya hain..(inhaled deeply)Aur mujhe laga tha ki Mayu ko phir se ek maksat mil gaya tha jeene ke liye..(turned around and saw Mahi)Actually,achi baat hain...Kam se kam ab Mahi ko mere sadoo Mayu ko jhelne nahin padegi,lo Mahi se baat karlo..
Sonali:Mahi??
Mahi:Haan Sonu..
Sonali:OMG yaar..Finally sadoo ne kar dikhaaya hain apne kamaal!!I'm so thrilled yaar...Aren't you??I mean,you must be so relieved by now!! Chutkaara mil hi gaya,by God!!Arre,bas main hi bolti rahungi kya??
Mahi:Hmm,totally Sonu..Par samjhaa kar,jab tak main MU waapas nahin aati,tab tak..(Raj got back)
Sonali:Yeahh,ok whatever yaar but i'm so thrilled!!In fact,if i had known what Mayank's intention was,i wouldn't have intervened yaar..I would let him take you,in the first place..Now you're totally free from this fake relationship,all thanks to Mayank..I need to apologize to him,actually,for misunderstanding him..And we'll treat him,on our behalf,what say??
Mahi:Main filhaal phone rak thi hoon..MU mein baat karenge,hmm??
Sonali:Alright,jaldi aana..(hung up)You guyzz won't believe this!!(told Raj and Jiya everything about Mahi getting stuck in the lift with Mayank and meeting him at the airport,ho he dragged her from the airport and now their relationship is finally over)I'm so...(Pushpak came and her smile vanished)Guyzz,i just recalled some important work to do..Gotta go!!(left from there without even looking at Pushpak)

Jiya:Chal bata baat kya hai?
Raj:Tu phir se shuru ho gayi?
Jiya:Excuse me??
Raj:Armaan aur Bharti par give up karke ab seedha Pushpak aur Sonali par chance maar rahi ho??
Jiya:Idiot!!Pushpak,forget that i even asked you anything..Bye!!(left from there)
Pushpak:Raj,tumhe aisa kehna nahin chaahiye tha yaar...
Raj:Dude,just chillax..Yeh toh humaare beech aksar hota hain..Tension matt lo!!
Pushpak:Acha,theekh hain..Mujhe ek personal favour chaahiye tha tumse..
Raj:Mujhse??Look dude,i can't guarantee you anything here unless it is something within my capabilities..
Pushpak:Can you...can you...
Raj:Are you intending to doubt my potential??Cut the crap and come to the point,dude...
Pushpak:Can you find out where Sonali's staying??
Raj:WHAT??(Pushpak flapped his palms up and down repeptitvely)What do you mean?Aren't you two living together??(Pushpak kept mum)Dude,how long has this been going on??What happened between you two?
Pushpak:Actually...
Raj:Actually nahin,i want the truth!!(Pushpak told him what happened and how Sonali's not even talking to him now)So you guyzz are on a break huh??I don't believe this crap!!You mean to say it's Sonali's fault,huh??
Pushpak:Yaar,maine aisa kab kaha??
Raj:Ok,toh yeh Aunty ka fault hain?
Pushpak:Heyy,tum Maa ko beech mein kyun laa rahe ho?
Raj:(got frustrated)Oh God,Pushpak!!It is either Sonali's or your mum's fault cuz apparently you were standing in the middle,in a neutral position,just doing nothing about it at all..Sonu chose the easiest way out and you let her do so and FYI,i'm not your private investigator,get it?
Pushpak:That's it Raj..I can hire a PI,can't i??
Raj:Are you nutzz or something??
Pushpak:Then what do you propose?
Raj:I'm not proposing anything...I can't believe that things change after you guyzz went on with the live-in status...Marriage is a big No-No for you guyzz..
Pushpak:Raj,just forget that i even asked...(left,disappointed)
Raj:Damn it!!(shook his head)What the hell...I should have helped him!!Pushpak,you caught me in the wrong mood yaar...All i'm thinking about right now is the effect of Mahi's and Mayank's break-up on Niharika..Gosh,i'm still thinking about her!!(recalled about how Khushi had screamed on top of her lungs,confessing his love for Niharika on his behalf)I care about her,damnnn!!!
~Mayank's place~
Niharika:Mayank,jaldi karo na...(Mahi noticed a beautiful portrait of two lovers at sunset,on the wall)Mahi,chale??(Mahi didn't respond and Niharika went to her)Mahi??(tapped on her shoulders)
Mahi:Huh??
Niharika:Kya hua??Tum yeh painting dekh kar aise..Tum itni khoyi khoyi si kyun ho?
Mahi:Kisi ki yaad aa gayi thi..Yeh painting??
Niharika:Actually,yeh painting ermm..(paused to think)Yeh Riteish ka dost..Mujhe naam toh yaad nahin hain par Riteish ke sagaayi ke waqt,usne yeh painting humaare ghar par bheja tha..Par koi naam nahin likha tha,sirf ek annonymous chitthi tha..Jab Riteish aur Avni ko congratulate karne gayi thi,tab mujhe Riteish ne usse introduce kiya tha...Mayannkkk!!!
Mayank:Sorry...Woh kuch zaroori documents compile kar raha tha..
Niharika:Kitni baar kahaa hain maine tumse ki office ka kaam mere saamne matt laaya karo..
Mayank:Ab chale??Chale Mahi??
Niharika:Waise Mayank,tumhe yaad hain ki yeh painting humein kisne gift kiya tha??Woh Riteish ke engagement par bhi mila tha,Riteish ka dost...
Mayank:Woh...V...Ve..Vedant..Vedant Raiz,kuch aisa naam hain shayad..(Mahi was totally shocked)
Niharika:Mahi..Heyy..(Mahi breathed deeply,calming herself from within)Tum theekh ho??
Mahi:Yeahh,bohat dher ho gayi hain na...Chale??(Niharika nodded and she locked her home before heading off in Mayank's car;Mayank dropped her off at the saloon after which he drove to MU)
Mayank:(thought to himself)Bata nahin ki uss painting mein aisa kya khaasiyat thi jo Mahi disturbed ho gayi thi aur tab jab maine Vedant Raiz ka naam liya tha..Par main kyun yeh sab soch raha hoon??
Mahi:(pondered)Niharika ki perception kuch zyaada hi sahi hain..Maine aaj tak apne ateet ko nahin bhulaa paayi hoon toh Mayank kaise Radhika ko bhoolega??Aaj phir se meri ateet mere aas paas bhadak rahi hain..Avni ki engagement party par aur mall mein bhi maine Ved ko hi dekha tha...Woh iss shehar mein hi hain!!
~Men's Universe~
Raj:Sorry yaar Pushpak...I was quite in a different mood..
Pushpak:Raj,it's ok..
Raj:Tum Sonali se pyaar karte ho?
Pushpak:Woh kehte hain na,zindagi ki mushkilein pyaar ke sang aasaan hone lagte hain??
Raj:Aur yeh kis idiot ne kahaa hain??Zyaada sa zyaada complications badh jaata hain pyaar ke waje se..
Pushpak:Tum yeh sab iss liye keh rahe ho kyunki tumne abhi tak sacha pyaar nahin kiya hain..
Raj:Acha??Agar tum itna hi chahthe ho Sonu ko,toh phir usse jaane kyun diya??
Pushpak:Tumne doosra kahaavat nahin suna hain?
Raj:Kaunsa?
Pushpak:Letting go of your love and if your love is true,she'll return,etc,etc...
Raj:Ahhh...Doosra Armaan banne ki koshish kar rahe ho?
Pushpak:Armaan?Kya matlab hain tumhaara?
Raj:Ermm,woh..Kab tak break lena ka iraada hain,huh?
Pushpak:Mujhse kyun pooch rahe ho??Jaakar ussi se poocho na..
Raj:Kyun?Tumne hi toh jaane diya tha na...Arre,agar pyaar kiya hain,toh mard bann!!Uske dil waapas jeeto..Apne pyaar ke liye lado!!!Lekin nahin...Tum toh mummly ka laadla ho na..Jo unki baat kabhi nahin thaaloge,chahhe sahi ho ya buri aur inn sab mein bhugh thega kaun??Mere dost,Sonu,huh???Kitna kamzor hain tumhaara yeh pyaar...
Pushpak:Mera pyaar kamzor nahin hain,alright Raj??
Raj:Acha???Saabit karke dikhaado tak jaakar maanunga...
Pushpak:Deal!!(left from there)
Raj:Chalo,iska kaam toh ho gaya...Ab bas yehi dua hain ke Armaan bhi wohi karein jo maine usse kahhaa tha karne ke liye..Bharti ke dil mein jagah paane ke liye yeh pehla shuruvaat hoga!!Ek nayi shuruvaat!!!
~Basement of MU Building~
Mahi realized that she has reached the basement and she saw Mayank glaring at her.
Mayank:What exactly are you waiting for?
Mahi:I'm sorry...Woh...Don't mind me asking..(paused for a while)Niharika had talked a lil about Radhika..I..(hesitantly resumed)Could i see her photograph?
Mayank:What makes you think that i carry her photograph everywhere with me?
Mahi:I just thought that since you have the habit of talking to her when you're alone,i assumed that you'd carry her photograph with you..
Mayank:I do,for a fact,but i don't intend to show it to you for it's none of your business...So now,if you may..
Mahi:I'm sorry;i didn't mean to intervene but before i leave,this is my card..If you ever needed someone to talk to,you could contact me...
Mayank:Why would i contact you,when i have Niharika and Bharti by my side??And even if they are not,i'll sort my worries and probz on my own...Why would i bother you,after all these meshwork of misconceptions and ugly publicity??Take back your card...
Mahi:I'm just trying to help..
Mayank:I don't need anyone's help,especially your's!!No offence intended...
Mahi:Fine!!!Just to let you know,i'm trying to extend my gesture of friendship to you but i guess some people are just meant to die alone!!Whatever yo just said has surely hurt me and i'll never forget it!!(got out of his car and walked away)Sadoo kahi ka!!Main itni achi banne ki koshish kar rahi hoon aur woh hain ke..Hum dono ke ateet bohat gehre hain aur main sirf dosti ka haath badhaana chahthi thi par nahin..Usse toh sirf apne gham mein dhoobna hain..Par uske saath aisa kya hua hoga jo woh chupaana chahtha hain aur dhabaa kar rakhna chahtha hain apne dil mein??Main bhi kaisi kaisi baaton mein khoyi hoon..Mujhe uss sadoo se kya lena dena??(recollected the painting and the mention of Vedant Raiz's name as she entered her cabin)

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 260~

Mahi muttered as she entered her cabin,
"Iss duniya mein sirf ek Vedant Raiz toh nahin hoga na??I jaan..Par at least maine teeno baar ittefaq se hi sahi par Ved se almost takraaya tha..Aur.."

Sonali:There you are..(hugged Mahi and withdrew from their hug)Uss sadoo ne kuch kiya toh nahin na??
Mahi:Huh??
Sonali:Heyy,kya hua??Tum bohat parishaan lag rahe ho..Usne kuch kiya toh nahin na??
Mahi:Nahin,nahin..Aisa kuch bhi nahin hain,Sonu...Tu bewaja parishaan ho rahi ho..Woh sirf meri aur uske break-up karwaana chahtha tha.Aur plan ke mutaabik sab kuch ho gaya hain..
Sonali:Tab toh tumhe khush hona chaahiye..Now everything's sorted out and Mayank is outta your life!!(Mahi sunk down,settling in her chair)Kis soch mein dhoobi ho??
Mahi:Niharika bohat upset thi aur woh Radhika ke baarein mein bhi kuch bataane waali thi ki tab Mayank aa gaya aur woh ruk gayi..Woh alone baarein mein bhi koshish kar rahi thi lekin mujhe kuch samajh mein nahin aa rahi thi...Yeh sab kuch meri waje se ho rahi hain..Agar maine zorr nahin di hoti,toh..
Sonali:Tog woh Mayank apne manmaani karta rahega..Iss mein tumhaari koi galti nahin,samjhi??
Mahi:Baat itni bhi clear cut nahin hain,Sonu...Na jaane kyun aise lagne lagi hain jaise woh itna bhi sadoo nahin hain..Tum samajh rahi ho ki main kya kehna chahthi hoon??Uske zindagi uske ateet,Radhika,se juda hain aur mera bhi!!
Sonali:Tumhaari koi ateet nahin hain,samjhi tum??Khabardaar agar tumne ek aur lafz nikaal diya toh!!Uss kaminey ne tumhaari zindagi tabah kar diya hain aur aaj bhi tum uske baarein mein soch rahi ho??(Mahi recollected the painting at Mayank's place)Woh tumhaare liye marchuka hain,samjhi??
Mahi:(thought to herself)Yeh meri vehem nahin ho sakti ke Ved issi shehar mein hain...Woh painting zaroor ek sign hain!!
Sonali:Main kaam se baahar jaa rahi hoon..Tum alma dhyaan rakna aur main tumhe shaam ko milti hoon..(Mahi nodded;Sonali caught the lift with Raj and Jiya)Hi guyzz,where are you two off to??
Raj:I'm heading back home and she's covering for me after quite some time...
Sonali:But why??
Jiya:Cuz of the emergency I didn't tell you about..
Sonali:What,wait..There's more??
Jiya:Remmber the 12-month contract that he signed??Well,he kinda apparently broke the laws in the manner by personally arranging for the accommodation of Nidhi with Niyati and Khushi..
Sonali:But that's for Nidhi's safety,na??
Jiya:I'm just hoping that the client and their attorney and our attorney will come to a conclusion,in our favour..(the trio got out of the lift)
Sonali:Okie guyzz,I'll see you around..And Raj,if you do need my help in any way,do let me know..(Raj nodded)
Jiya:The first help you cam actually do is telling is what's going on between you and Pushpak..
Raj:Hehe,just ignore her,Sonu..Jiyaa,you offered to drop me home,remember??Chalo...(grabbed her elbow)Bye Sonu...
Sonali:Lo,ab yeh baaki reh gayi thi..Ab Jiya ko bhi shaq ho gayi hain aur woh sach jaankar hi rahegi..Sonu,be prepared to get beheaded by Jiya!!(left for her meeting)

~Few Hours Later~

Armaan,meanwhile,tucked the magazine in its pocket as the air stewardess brought food along the way.From a distance,he could hear Bharti talking to Naina.Much as he felt tempted to turn around and look at both of them and Payal,he recalled his conversation with the love guru,provided the experience he's got with the increasing number of flings.

"Armaan:Main plane mein baith chuka hoon aur tum mujhe ab bata rahe ho??
Raj:Dude,mujhe bhi abhi abhi bata chala hain..
Armaan:Maine...(paused)Maine bohat kuch bol diya tha Bharti se,uske ghar mein...I just don't get it!!!
Raj:Kya??
Armaan:Hamesha aisa kyun hota hain Raj ki jab bhi main apne mann ki baat Bharti ke saamne rak tha hoon toh usse aur museebaton ka saamna karna padhthi hain???Maine apne aankhen bandh karke Jiya par vishwaas kiya tha par woh toh yaar waqt Bhaskar ke saath contact rak rahi thi yaar...
Raj:Dude,Jiya galat nahin hain..Tum sirf apne aur Bharti ke baarein mein soch rahe ho..Jiya ko yeh ehsaas ho gayi hain ke Bhaskar Payal ke liye kuch khaas plan kar raha tha aur shayad iss liye usne khushi khushi apne gaalon mein thappad bhi khaa li...
Armaan:Tumhe woh nazar aa raha hain...Lekin mujhe yeh nazar aa raha hain ke Jiya ke kaaran,Payal ki divorce ho sakta hain aur saath saath unn teeno ki dosti par bhi asar ho sakta hain...Jo main kabhi bardaasht nahin karpaaonga!!
Raj:Yaar,tumhaare har ek lafz se zaahir hain ke tum Shreya se nahin,Bharti se pyaar karte ho...I mean,how could I have not seen this coming??That you can barely move on...
Armaan;Raj,please..
Raj:No dude,you listen to me..Mere tarike ko agar tum aazmaaloge toh tumhe 100% success guaranteed hain..
Armaan:Oh hello,shut up..Mujhe koi tarika nahin chaahiye!!
Raj:Soch lo warna kya pata zindagi bhar paschthaana na pade..
Armaan:Is this an indirect curse??
Raj:Indirect blessing...Come on yaar,I can be love guru..After all,itna experience toh hain mujh mein..
Armaan:I can't believe we're even having this conversation!!
Raj:Pehla usool toh free.of charge hain...Sunn lo,implement karna chahthe ho ya nahin,tumhaari marzi...Ladkiyon ke peeche matt bhaagho,for example,jaise tum Bharti ke peeche bhaag rahe ho,hmm??
Armaan:Main bhaag raha hoon??Main??Ulta toh woh mujhse door bhaag rahi hain..
Raj:Wohi toh problem hain dude..Tum usse zaroorat se.zyaada attention seek rahi ho,jo usse bilkul bhi pasand nahin hain,aur parishaan ho jaati hain,tumhaare kaaran..Usse ignore karna seekho!!Jab tum usse ignore karoge,toh woh yeh zaroor sochegi ki tumhe achanak ho kya gaya hain..
Armaan:Don't give me the overdose of Kal Ho Na Ho,hmm Raj??
Raj:Kal Ho Na Ho??Oh hello,this is proven,alrite??Aur the toh mere saath bohat baar ho chuka hain..
Armaan:Bharti inn sabse alag hain,got it??
Raj:Acha???Bharti ladki nahin hain??
Armaan:Raj,juz shut up!!Main phone rake raha hoon..Bye!!"(pondered if he ought to implement Raj's first rule)

~Raj's place~

Raj:Thank you so much for waking me up so early to go to MU..Now,just leave,k?(glanced at his home and felt as though something wasn't right)Thanks for the ride aur ab tum niklo..
Jiya:Oh hello,mujhe toh andar aana hi hoga na??
Raj:Ki...Kis liye???
Jiya:Baby-modelling contract and other associated documents,hmm??
Raj:Woh main tumhe baad mein doonga..
Jiya:Raj,why are you rushing me??And don't both of us know how long legal stuff takes??I'll come with you inside and...
Raj:No!!I mean...Look,I haven't figured where exactly I've kept them..
Jiya:Ok,then we'll search together..
Raj:Uffo Jiya,tum kitni badi deeth ho!!
Jiya:Kya??
Raj:I mean..Suno,main MU aakar tumhe doonga,pakka..Ab tum jaao!!
Jiya:Ek minute...Andar koi hain kya??Nahin,nahin..(shook her head)Subah toh koi bhi nahin tha..Toh ab Kahn ho sakta hain??
Raj:Tumhe nahin lagta ki tum kuch zyaada hi mere zindagi mein dhakal andaazi kar rahe ho??
Jiya:Excuse me??Mujhe haqq hain,alrite??
Raj:Kaunsa haqq,huh??
Jiya:I'm your best friend aur iss haqq se..
Raj;Issi haqq se ab filhaal mujhe thode dher ke liye aaraam karne do..Bye!!(shut his home door,hitting Jiya's nose mildly)Phew!!(dropped his coat on the dining table without seeing and dropped dead on the sofa)

Just then,he smelt something burning.He got up and freaked to see Niharika before his eyes with his burnt coat.He stood speechless,wondering what she was doing un his two-storey home,having his eyes fixated on her bouncy curls.He blinked his eyes in disbelief as she came closer to him.Just as he was thinking it was all a dream,he jerked backwards when the burnt area of his coat transmitted the heat to his arm.

Raj:Oh crap!!(grabbed his.coat and looked at Niharika through the hole)This is my new.coat,for God's sake..(threw it on the sofa)What are you doing here and how did you get in??And how did you get my coat in such a state??
Niharika:Woe,I so didn't expect that accusation from you after having cleaned your home and kept some.scented candles on the dining table..
Raj:Candles..They did this!!!What are you trying to achieve by doing all these??I'm keeping a distance from you and respecting your decision,Nihar...So what else do you want??You know what...I just can't get you!!!
Niharika:I've got nothing to explain,Raj..I'm leaving!!(left from there)
Raj:What the...Whatz her freakin' problem??If she wanted to leave,why bother coming??Itz not as if I asked her to come..What crap,Raj!!!

~Few Hours Later~
@London Airport(outside the loo)

Armaan:Oops..Heyy!!(Bharti hesitated to respond and left)Damn it!!How should I even start talking to her??(Just then,he noticed her talking to someone on her mobile)
Bharti:Sure I can catch Bhaskar at Ellington Inn??Alright,thanks!!(hung up)Bhaskar,ab tum mujhse zyaada door nahin chup sakte!!(Bharti paused as she was pulled to a corner by Armaan)
Armaan:Jo kuch bhi maine kahaa tha tumhaare ghar par,I mean..I'm sorry!!(Armaan realized Bharti was looking at his hand having grabbed her elbow;he promptly let go without her saying anything)
Bharti:Kyun?Tumhe apne dost ki parva tha aur mujhe apne dost ki..Toh sorry kis baat ki?Excuse me...
Armaan:Ab main tumhe kaise samjhaao??Jiya ko sab kuch pata tha Bhaskar ke ata pata ke baarein mein..Actually,baat yeh hain ki Bhaskar ne Jiya ko apne surprise plan ke baarein mein bataaya tha aur woh tabse chup thi...Mujhe yeh baat Raj ne bataaya tha aur woh bhi plane mein baithne ke kuch ghante baad..Par Jiya ko Payal ke divorce ke soch ne majboor kiya tha tumhaare ghar aane ke liye..Aur thappad bhi khaa liya Bhaskar ke liye..Taaki woh surprise aur uski vachan qaayam rahein...(Bharti closed her eyes in rage and opened them instantly)
Bharti:Iss Bhaskar ko toh main chodoongi nahin...Bata nahin kab sudhrega!!6 saal pehle bhi,jab tumhaare...(hesitated before resuming)Jab tumhaare ragging hua tha Excel College mein,mujhe daseek kar le kar gaya tha gaadi mein,yeh keh kar ki Payal hospital mein hain aur woh bhi critical condition mein...In fact,he picked up Payal along the way and brought us to Goa for vacation!!Can you believe him???(Armaan couldn't stop smiling)Do teen hafton ke liye!!(saw him smiling)Kya??Kya main joke sunaa rahi hoon jo tum hass rahe ho,huh??(Armaan shook his head)Ab bata nahin kaunsa surprise plan kiya hain usne par itna zaroor bata hain mujhe ki usse zorr ka jhatka lagne waala hain Payal ke divorce papers ke saath..
Armaan:Bharti,aise hi muskuraati rehna...I miss your smile!!(Bharti stopped smiling)
Bharti:Woh Payal aur Naina meri intezaar kar rahi hongi..(turned to leave)
Armaan:(hit his head)Duffer kahi ke!!Compliment Dena zaroori tha kya??An woh chali gayi hain..Par Bhaskar ka pata kaise chalega??Main bhi na!!!(got out of the airport and hailed a can,instructing the cabbie to take him to Ellington Inn,where he had stayed before on various occasions when he came to London)
