~Jab Lurve Hua Part 261~

Bharti:Ok fine,don't tell me about the surprise!!But what the heck went wrong with you??How could you just disappear like that,without even contacting me!?You had problems with Payal but what did I do to you??You just wales away...I mean,what we're you thinking Bhaskar??(finished the grilled chicken)
Bhaskar:Whoa Bharti,that's a lot of questions yaar..
Bharti:(slammed her plate on the tray,shaking the utensils as she glared at Bhaskar before standing up and walking away from the sofa)Damn you,Bhaskar!!Your life is like a game for you,right?Where you just play with people's emotions,yeahh??Did you at least think about me?How I almost went in a state of frenzy searching for you??Ok,forget about me but what about Payal,your love??Any idea of what she's going through??Do you even know what she's thinking about you??I can't bear to see her in this state and it's all thanks to you and your conversation with Jiya which made her think that she's losing you to Jiya!!!
Bhaskar:WHAT???NO!!That's not possible...(stood up and looked at Bharti who turned to face him)Oh God..Why didn't she talk to me openly about this??Bharti,she too left me the night just like that..How am I supposed to know what's running in her mind if she don't confide in me??
Bharti:And then you left Mumbai..Did you even know what had been happening??Payal's problem had started since your London trip with Jiya but I thought I had handled her well then..I wanted to bring with me to Goa...If I hadn't left her alone,the gravemistake wouldn't have accrued im Goa in the first place..(paused)I meant,both of you wouldn't have distanced each other so much!!Payal wouldn't have vented her frustration and temper by slapping Jiya nor would I have to hear so much taunt from Armaan who totally believes that Jiya isn't at fault at all!!
Bhaskar:She isn't,Bharti...
Bharti:Now I know that,Bhaskar!!But why for God's sake,did you keep her in confidence??I kept asking her several times for your whereabouts but her lips had to be tightly sealed..Seriously Bhaskar,was I dead to you??
Bhaskar:Whoa,you're mad at me!!
Bharti:(gritted her teeth and gave him a cold stare)You think??I can't believe that I as out of this all along yet I came all the way here to save your marriage..I can't bear to see you two falling apart but no!!You are not at all serious about this,are you??You know what?You can go to hell,for the heck I care!!(turned to go)

~Outside Room 576~

Payal went outside and tried calling Bharti but somehow she wasn't getting through.Just then,she saw Armaan almost checking into his room but she voiced out to him.Payal waved to him and he waved back while advancing towards her.

Armaan:Payal,tum yahaa?
Payal:Haan,par tum?
Armaan:This is where I usually stay whenever I come to London..This is so unexpected!!You're alone??
Payal:No,Armaan..Naina's asleep and I don't know where the hell Bharti had gone to..I've been trying to call her some time for now..
Armaan:(thought to herself)What a coincidence indeed!!But first I need to talk things out with Payal...
Payal:You carry on,Armaan..You must be tired!!(turned to go inside)
Armaan:Payal!!I'm really sorry!!
Payal:What for??
Armaan:The whole mess which Jiya created..I had no idea that her friendship with Bhaskar would have to bear the cost of your marriage..I now realize it's her fault..I mean...(saw Payal's signature on the divorce papers which he instantly recognized)
Payal:Till yesterday,you were defending her,Armaan..I just don't..(Armaan pointed to the divorce papers)You don't have to interfere,Armaan..
Armaan:I've got to,Payal!!Do you know how much remorse I feel when I see the divorce papers??Of all people,Payal,you know Bhaskar and how deep his love is for you..How can you overlook that,Payal??
Payal:(smiled)Armaan,that's very sweet of you to say but often, people change into what they promised not to be..Perhaps Bhaskar has changed or his love for me did!!And the divorce will just make things easier!!Sorry Armaan..I know you care as a friend,but I've made my decision!!
Armaan:But can't you see what this could do to your friendship with him and Bharti????(Payal kept mum)

Just as Bharti got out of Bhaskar's room,she stopped in shock upon seeing Armaan and Payal together, talking outside the hotel room quickly hid at an adjacent pillar and Bhaskar too,followed suit.

Bharti:What the freakin' hell is he doing here?First,the airport..Then,the aeroplane and now here??
Bhaskar:Ahh,your boyfriend's here??
Bharti:Just shut up,Bhaskar!!He's not my boyfriend!!
Bhaskar:Ok fine!!So..(continued looking at Armaan and Payal)So you're still mad at him for the accusations?
Bharti:I'm not mad at him..I've forgiven him in Goa but I'm not talking to him,thatz all..
Bhaskar:What??But why?
Bharti:Nothing which I would wanna speak of,at the moment..
Bhaskar:What the heck is he doing with my wife,holding her hands??
Bharti:Bhaskar,why are you grabbing my hands now??Chodo!!

Armaan:Payal,this would shatter everything...The special bond of friendship that has been intact for so many years,will just be broken with this divorce!!(shook her)Say something,Payal!!
Payal:(started crying)It's not my hands anymore,Armaan!!I can't live without him but he may have fallen out of love with me..Why should I keep him tied down in this marriage if he isn't happy with me??

Bhaskar:What's that in her hands??
Bharti:(smiled)Thatz het surprise for you..You'll get to see it pretty soon..
Bhaskar:What surprise??

Payal:,Armaan,I need to get changed..,Bye!!(rushed inside the room;Armaan wanted to knock but he couldn't bring himself to do so)
Armaan:Sab iss Jiya ke waje se ho raha hain...Agar inn dono ki divorce sach much ho gaya toh main apne aap ko kabhi maaf nahin karpaaonga!!

Bhaskar:You better tell me whatz the surprise Bharti...
Bharti:Why should I when you can't even disclose your surprise??
Armaan:Bharti??
Bharti:Oh freak!!(turned around and away and so did Bhaskar)
Armaan:Bhaskar????

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 262~

~Mayank's place~

Mayank:Sorry Nihu...Late for dinner!!
Niharika:Whatever,Mayu!!
Mayank:Everything ok??
Niharika:Yeahh sure..Let me see why it is...Yes,that's cuz i didnt prepare you dinner!!
Mayank:Par Nihu,i'm super hungry yaar...
Niharika:Make dinner for yourself..I'm going to bed!!Nitezz!!(went to her room and slammed the door)
Mayank:What had happened to her all of a sudden?(went to take a shower first)

~Niharika's room~

Niharika dropped herself on the bed and looked at her mobile,which apparently showed no text messages,voice mails or even missed calls from Raj.

"Idiot!!Phone tak nahin kar sakta mujhse maafi maangne ke liye..Kya khaaq pyaar karta hain woh mujhse??I'm just so,so stupid!!Yes,that's what i exactly am,for believing in Khushi's words and expecting anything from Raj..After all,she could be wrong too...And perhaps Niharika is just another fling for Raj Malhotra..That's right..Arghhh!!Damn it!(headed to the washroom)

She turned on the tap and splashed water on her face.As she closed her eyes and ran her right palm down her face,ridding excess water,she felt rose petals being showered on her from behind.She opeed her eyes to Raj's reflection in the mirror and instantly turned around.Raj continued showering rose petals on Niharika as he gradually headed towards her.

Raj;This is for real,Nihar..(Niharika widened her eyes in shock,upon seeing Raj right before her)I heard your mutterings,by the way..All i wanna say is you're different,Niharika and this is not a fling.It's hrd to explain,Nihar,but the truth is very simple.Despite wanting to respect your decision of staying far from you,i can't..And that too especially what you did this morning!!You coming over to my place,was si unexpected!!I over-reacted and i'm sorry!!But why did you..

Niharika:I wanted to surprise you..

Raj:You what?

Niharika:I don't know..I just craved for someone to be close to me,to hear me out and to understand me and my emotions...Emotions which is linked to Mayank's breakup,which i can't possibly share with Mayank himself!!

Raj:You have no idea either,do you?

Niharika:About what?

Raj:I had been thinking about you the whole morning too..Ever since i heard about Mahi's breakup,i wondered how you were taking it...Even if you didn't come,i would hve called or come over to meet you but you came to my place,which really took me by surprise..I didn't see that coming!!And it was a truly bad timing cu i have a lot of things running on my mind,Nihar!!

Niharika:I'm sorry,I..

Raj:Nihar,just listen to me..(cupped her face)I...I...I truly care about you!!(gazed deeply into her eyes)I've not felt this way before in my life!!I've had all kinds of relationships;flings,one-night stands and so much that i won't even recognize most of them n my life but you're diferent,Niharika!!I love you,Niharika..I really do!!

Niharika:So whatever Khushi said at the airport...

Raj:She really embarased the crap out of me!!

Niharika:(leaned over to kiss his cheek)Thanks for clarifying..(stood back)The rose petals surely did the magic here,earning you instant apology..And right now,i think you should get going..

Raj:Wait,that's it?

Niharika:What were you expecting??Because of you,i didn't cook dinner for Mayank..

Raj:Really??So i do have an effect on you,huh??(raised his eyebrows)

Niharika:Get going,Raj,just like how you came to my room..(got out of the washroom)Through the balcony via the ladder,hmm??Don't look at me like that!!I've sneaked into my own room like that several times...Now,get going!!

Raj:Ok,so i assume everything's clear about us?

Niharika:Yes Raj...

Raj:And no one will know about us,hmm??

Niharika:Apt plan!!

Raj:And you'll go out with me,as and when,huh?

Niharika:You're pushing it now..

Raj:Ok lastly,you'll marry me,right??

Niharika:What???

Raj:(bursted out laughing)Gosh,just look at your face!!!I was just kidding..Bye!!!

Niharika:Bye!!(waved to Raj as he looked back at her and smiled)

~Hallway @ Ellington Inn~

Bhaskar:(realized that he can't possibly run since Armaan's standing right before him and Bharti)Hehe...Heyy Armaan,what's up?

Armaan:What the heck,Bhaskar??How come you're here??Hi Bharti...

Bhaskar:Well, I'm here,ermm...For Bharti!!(Bharti looked super confused)

Armaan:Are you sure??Look,if i'm not disturbing you,Bhaskar...I seriously need to discuss with you about Payal..

Bharti:I think i made it pretty clear to you that you need not intervene in Bhaskar's amd Payal's personal life..

Armaan:Bharti,please try to understand!!It's about their marriage..Bhaskar,Payal had misunderstood you and Jiya..

Bhaskar:Yeahh now i know that..If i had known earlier...

Armaan:And now,Payal is thinking of divorcing you!You gotta do something quick!!

Bharti:(muttered)Damn it!!

Bhaskar:WHAT???

Bharti:Armaan,will you top it now??

Bhaskar:You mean,she was holding onto the divorce papers just now,when you were talking to her??

Armaan:You saw us??

Bhart:Armaan,i specified things clearly that i want no interference of any sort,either in my life or their lives...Which part of it did you not understand??

Armaan,So now,we're talking?

Bharti:No,we're still not!!

Bhaskar:So,this was the surprise you were talking about earlier,Bharti??

Bharti:You must be so satisfied by your accomplishment na,Armaan??Yes Bhaskar,the divorce was meant to be your surprise!!!

Bhaskar:OMG!!!What am i going to do??I can't lose her now!!

Bharti:What do you mean by now?

Bhaskar:I mean,not at all...I need her and can't visulize living the days of my life alone...She's my life!!

Armaan:Bhaskar,i want to help you in every way possible for it's due to Jiya that things have fallen apart even further.(Bharti was flabbergasted)

Bharti:Don't you dare,Bhaskar...And i mean it,don't you dare take his help!!

Bhaskar:But Bharti,what's the problem?

Armaan:Yes Bharti,what's bothering you??

Bharti:I don't believe this!!I had come all the way from Mumbai to patch things up between you two without even giving her a clue but no..Oce again,you had to make the same mistake again..You've got to choose him over me to help you!!You've got no value for my friendship--Fine!!You know what?You can just go to hell,Bhaskar!!(went to her room)

Armaan:Bharti...Bharti!!

Bhaskar:I wanted you two to help me out in this but she didn't bother to listen...Crap!!!Armaan,you've really got to help me!!

Armaan:(thought to himself)Maine toh keh diya hain ki main madat karunga lekin kaise???Upar se,Bharti bhi chali gayi hain mujhse naaraaz ho kar!!Kuch toh sochna padega!!!(just then,his mobile rang)Bhaskar,i'll take care of everything..Don't worry..We'll think of something by tomorrow;i'll call you,k??(both headed to their rooms)

~Armaan's room:556~

Armaan:You've called at the right time..Need your brains badly!!

Raj:Huh,what??(Armaan narrated the entire situation)Payal is so mad that she signed the divorce papers already?OMG!!!

Armaan:Gosh Raj,have you been listening or not?Bharti's mad at me for having intervened in Bhaskar's and Payal's personal matter but i've got to cuz...Cuz it was truly alarming to see the divorcing papers and just imagine the drastic efect it could have on the three of them!!!

Raj:Aha!!!I'm so proud of you yaar...

Armaan:What?

Raj:You went agianst her and interfered...That's quite a miracle,as far as i'm concerned but you can still do better!!

Armaan:Tumhe mazak sooj rahi hain,Raj?Yahaa meri haalat kharab ho raha hain aur tum ho ke...Dude,i need ideas!!!

Raj:Hhmm..Ideas toh bohat hain yaar lekin mujhe ek vaada chaahiye tumse...

Armaan:Kaisa vaada?

Raj:Mere rules ko follow karoge??

Armaan:Bharti ke dil jeetne ke liye?Seriously Raj,muje tumhaare...

Raj:Ideas chaahye ke nahin?

Armaan:God,yeh main kahaa atak gaya hon...

Raj:Inn choti choti baaton ke liye um God ko kyun parisaan kar rahe ho,Armaan??

Armaan:Theekh hain Raj,bolo...

Raj:Pehla idea toh yeh hain ke tum Payal aur Bhaskar ko phone karo..Payal ko yeh bataana ki Bhaskar ki acciden ho gaya hain aur Bhaskar ko Payal ki accident ki khabar dena...Dono ko ek hi jagah par milwa kar baat karwaa dena aur sari galat fehmi door karna,simple!!

Armaan:Yeh main bhi toh soch sakta hoon..Kitna puraana idea hain!!

Raj:Puraana hain lekin effective hain,samjhe?

Armaan:Ok,ok...Par yeh Plan A hain..Back-up plan ki zaroorat padh sakta hain,Raj..Plan B!!

Raj:Hhmm true..Sochta hoon..

Armaan:Haan socho socho...

Raj:Arre,tu bhi toh soch...

Armaan:Hmm,waise tumne Maa ko mere message diya ke nahin??

Raj:Kaunsa message??Tumne mujhe koi message dene ke liye nahin kahaa tha...

Armaan:Arre haan,maine Mahi ko message diya tha..Sorry!!

Raj:Mm..Mil gaya idea!!(his eyes widened)Tum ek kaam karo,tum Baskar ke surprise ke baarein mein bata lagao...Aur Payal ko ek clue de do uske baarein mein aur pyaar se samjhaao...

Armaan:Yeh tumhaara back-up plan hain?Dimaag toh thekh hain?Pyaar se hi toh samjhaa raha tha Payal ko itni dher se...Par woh kuch maanne ke liye tayyaar nahin hain!!!Aur iss waqt par Bharti ko mujhse problem honi thi...I could seriously use her help!!

Raj:Bechara!!!God,please iska madat karde!!!Dude,you gotta stop thinking about her...Patch Bhaskar and Payal up by yourself and you'll win half the battle...You'll win her heart already by that cuz now she's underestimating your ability in patching them up but after emerging victorious,she'll respect you much more and take back her decision of not wanting to extend "the secret friendship" you guyzz share...Trust me,dude!!It's gona work just fine...

Armaan:I don't know..I mean..She's really adamant,Raj and..

Raj:Uff,stop doubting yourself...It must have been an exhausting trip,so go and get yourself some rest!!

Armaan:Raj,waise is everything fine there??

Raj:Be specific,dude..If you're asking about Jiya...

Armaan:I'm so not...She created this stupidmess!!Once i get back,i'm really going to give her a piece of my mind!!

Raj:No,you're so not!!All you would do is chide her and then hug her for being loyal to Bhaskar..Come on,you can't deny the fact that she's such a great friend,someone whom you can rely on to guard your secrets...

Armaan:Really,Raj?How come i don't hear you complimenting her or letting her in on your secrets,when she's around??

Raj:Who told you so?Don't you see how i flirt with her,huh?And even now she's getting me an attorney for my case,since i breached the laws of the contract..

Armaan:Damn it,i totaly forgot..Is it very serious??

Raj:Well it depends on whether Mr Gaurav reaches an agreement with the client's attorney or not...Or else i could be sued and charges could be filed against me...Not a big deal!!

Armaan:Sarcasm at this moment?Seriously,Raj???Wait a sec...Wht's the lawyer's name again?

Raj:Gaurav something...Couldn't exactly recall his last name..But what's wrong?

Armaan:Nothing..I know of a Gaurav from Goa,whom i'm not exactly..Anyways,he must be a different guy...

Raj:I've not seen you awkward at social parties,Armaan..Who's this Gaurav?

Armaan:Ermm,as far as i know,he's Alisha's mentor and a distant relative of Anjali,Alisha's sister-in-law...

Raj:Hmm,i've no idea yaar..But anyways i've yet to find my contract papers and for that,i would be turningmy house upside down..Ok,i've just reached home;you've got any messages for anyone else??

Armaan:No Raj,just keep me in the loop about your case,k?

Raj:Hm ok...But i got a message for you..Just keep practicing on ignoring Bharti;it'll get better witheach try!!Take care,bye!!

Armaan:Bye!!(hung up)

~Mahi' place~

Sonali:What's cooking,Mahi?

Mahi:Nothing..Just noodles!!

Sonali:Uffo,that's so boring..

Mahi:Indeed it is,cuz i'm really hungry..

Sonali:And i thought we could e celebrating tonight since it's the day of your breakup...(Mahi glared)Ok,i just realized how that sounded but i'm just so thriled...I've ordered Pizza from Dominoes by the way...

Mahi:What????Sonu!!!!

Sonali:Uffo,now don't tell me you don't wanna celebrate yaar..Come on!!

Mahi:Ok,let's celebrate...(Sonali jumped and hugged Mahi tightly)

Sonali:Ok,i'll just refresh myself and come,k??(Mahi nodded)

~Room 576~

Bharti rang the doorbell several times.

Payal:Uffo Bharti,kya kar rahe ho?Naina so rahi hain yaar..(saw Bharti's annoyed looks)Heyy,kya hua hain tujhe?

Bharti:(drank aglass of water)Payal,main fresh ho kar ati hoom..

Payal:Arre,par..Ek minute!!Tum itni tension mein kyun ho?

Bharti:Tum sahi ho,Payal!!Yeh BHaskar kisi kaam ka laayak nahin hain!!Aur tumhe pata hain,uss Armaan ki waje se...

Payal:(widened her eyes in dibelief and kept thinking)Oh God,please don't tell me that Bharti bumped into him!!

BHarti:He's staying in this hotel..Of all the hotels,he had to be here!!And what was he talking to you about,huh?

Payal:Nothing,Bharti...I was just quizzing him on whee you are..I mean,we saw each other and got talking..

Bharti:I just can't believe you would lie to me,Paayu...You had your divorce papers with you,for God's sake!!You know what?I'm not going to stop you;do as you wish...Go ahead and sign those papers..On one hand,Bhaskar trusts Jiya more than you or me and on the other hand,I'm damn sure that Armaan must have come here to defend his friend more than anything snf influenced you even further..Well,what the hell yaar...Why should you care,Payal,when Bhaskar doesn't care??Go ahead and divorce him!!

Payal:Bharti,yo'r getting it all wrong...

Bharti:Paayu,apne faisle se mukhar rahi ho tum,huh?Darr lag rahi hain???

Payal:Bharti,woh...

Bharti:Divorce papers kahaa hain?Abhi sign kar mere saamne se..(told hold of the divorce papers and saw Payal's signature only on the first page)Payal,sign kar!!!(Payal's fingers trembled and she looked to Bharti who had her eyes fixed on the divorce papers)

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 263~

~Mayank's place~

Niharika had come down and Mayank noticed her humming as she flitted down the stairs.He was very much confused as she pinched his cheks and began to warm some milk.

Mayank:Are you ok?

Niharika:Haan Mayu...Had your dinner already?

Mayank:Yeahh,i've decided to give you a day off since you were in a foul mood just now but if i had known that your mood was as malleable as this,i would have waited longer!!

Niharika:Well,meanwhile,there's coffee for both of us..

Mayank:Thanks...But seriously you're fine,na?

Niharika:'ve got hot coffee in my hands,Mayu..Don't make me spill it on your T-shirt!!

Mayank:Now,you're my normal sis all over again..Cheers to that!!

Niharika:Mayu,you never loved Mahi,did you??(Mayank's smile faded)You seem so joyous ever since you've broken up with her..Am I not right in saying so??

Mayank:Niharika,woh main..

Niharika:(took her last sip of coffee)Mayu,i really don't know how to put it before you but i must have compelled you to take a decision,na..I'm sorry!!Really sorry then when i wasn't e there for you and now for having created this mess in your life!!(stood up and washed her mug before heading to her room)

~Room 556~

Armaan was just walking to and fro after his quick shower.He was pondering on how to execute Plan A of Raj's idea.He knew that right now it isn't the perfect time and in order for this plan to work out,he needed to be extra cautious,not only of the timing but also in the extreme urgency to be felt in his tone so that both Bhaskar and Payal would believ instantly.He laid on his bed,thinking but just then Shreya's call interrupted everything.

Shreya:Hiii...

Armaan:Shreya??What a pleasant surprise yaar...

Shreya:Surprise ko maaro goli...Why didn't you tell me that you were headed to London,huh??

Armaan:Last minute plans,Shreya..And i had come here to solve a personal crisis...

Shreya:Personal crisis,huh?I know everything..You're cheating on me,aren't you??

Armaan:What???Shreya,main...

Shreya:Darn it!!I just wish i was there right now to see your shocked face yaar...Come on,i was just kidding..Don't i know you??That we love each other,hmm??(Armaan recollected how Bharti stormed away from between him and Bhaskar)Armaan,you there??

Armaan:Huh?Haan Shreya...Shreya,darasal main woh...

Shreya:Armaan,i'm having dinner with Sudha aunty tonight..Ok she just arrived;i'll talk to you later..Bye,bye!!

Armaan:Hello,what??Shreya...??(realized she had hung up and he hung up as well)Maa ke saath dinner??

~Room 576~

Bharti:Payal,i'm going to take a bath..By the time i get out,i want it signed...

Payal:Bharti,wasn't it you who told me not to sign these papers before?

Bharti:That was then,Payal..Now,i dont even know if he cares about you or not..He's just been MIA,something which he hasn't done to us before!!He seems so distant,so different from the Bhaskar i know..(kept thinking about how Bhaskar chose Armaan over her,adding to her share of hurt and annoyance)

Payal:Bharti,that can't be true..He can't have changed so much in these few days!!

Bharti:You're not at all ready to part from him,right?You're such a coward,Payal!!You're scared of facing your emotions and accepting them..

Payal:Don't talk about emotions in front of me and accepting them..Cuz i can go real far with you running away from your own emotions for Armaan!!

Bharti:My emotiions,Payal??The only emotions i harbour for Armaan are that of regret and annoyance,alright??And i'm talking about you here,not me or Armaan!!

Payal:Why,Bharti?Why should the rule of accepting the truth apply to me alone??

Bharti:You know what?If you don't move on from your feelings for Bhaskar,you're the one at loss...And if you really want to waste your life,then don't bother signing..Just stick to Bhaskar for the rest of your life...Do as your wish..Bhaskar said the same thing as well(shook her head,resting the case)In the end,nothing i say or do matter to you guyzz,so...Do as your heart desires!!!(headed inside the washroom)

~Mahi's place~

Mahi:You know i don't drink..

Sonali:Come on yaar,aaj ke din toh mujhe company do..It's your break-up,for God's sake!!

Mahi:You just need a reason to celebrate,don't you??

Sonali:A reason to be truly happy!!

Mahi:If that's the case,then why aren't you with Pushpak??(Upon hearing his name,Sonali gulped down the tequila shot)

Sonali:He doesn't love me,Mahi..It's that simple!!

Mahi:You too know,that's not true!!He comes to my cabin daily and asks about you,Sonu...He's stuck between you and his mum..I think we should really tell him about your whereabouts yaar..

Sonali:Don't you dare,Mahi!!His mum gets all the importance..I'm nothing to him!!No matter how much she may hurt me,he doesn't care!!He...doesn't...C-A-R-E!!!

Mahi:Sonu...

Sonali:Mahi,i don't wanna spoil the celebration yaar,please!!(Just then,Mahi's mobile rang)

Mahi:(thought to herself)Ab isse kya chaahye??Sab kuch toh khatam ho chuka hain,toh phir...

Sonali:Arre,phone toh uthaao...Kaun hain?

Mahi:Hello?

Mayank:Hi..Main bas eksawaal karna chahtha tha...Tumne Niharika ko poori sach bataayi thi yahaa se jaanne se pehle??

Mahi:Kaisi sach?

Mayank:Yehi ki humaare bech pehle se hi kuch bhi nahin tha..

Mahi:Nahin toh...Nahin Mayank,maine aisa kuch bhi nahin kahaa tha,i promise...Par tum...Wait a sec,tumne iss liye phone kiya tha kyunki tumhe mujh par shaq tha??I don't believe this!!!Aur mujhe laga tha ki tum..

Mayank:Kya?

Mahi:Ki tum mujhse maafi maangne ke liye phone tha apne bartaav ke liye...

Mayank:What??Apne galat fehmi zaroor door karna...Main tumse koi maafi maangne ke liye phone nahin kiya tha,ok??Nihu ko kisi tarha pata chal chuki hain ki hum dono ke beech actually kuch bhi...Aur ab woh Bharti ko sab kuch...(hung up)

Mahi:He..Helloo??(hung up as well)Just unbelievable!!(fidgeted under her breath)Break-up hone ke baawajood peecha chodne ka naam nahin le rahaa hain!!

Bharti got out of the washroom and as she combed her hair,Payal stood from the bed and walked to her,Seeing her stand beside her,Bharti kept the comb aside and walked towards the window where her tote bag was kept.Payal tried talking to her.

Payal:Bharti,please ruk jaao...I didn't mean to..

Bharti:Yeahh,whatever...

Payal:I'm sorry!!

Bharti:Don't be!!Who am i to you,anywayzz??Do what you want to,Payal,for i'm not going to stop you..I'm going out for some fresh air..If it is possible,do take care of Naina butif you can't,just let me know right away!!

Payal:Bharti,stop beaving like this...Of course,i'll take care of Naina but please listen..(Bharti already left)Payal,Payal...You're such an idiot!!Why did you mentin his name when it's the last name Bharti wanna hearright now?She's barely recovered from all the painful accusaions and you've just got to ruin it!!(thought about her decision to divorce Bhakar)Hold on a sec..She was all so tensed when she got back...And she also said Bhaskar said the same as me...She's mad at both of us??Why would she be mad at Bhaskar??

~University~

Bharti had headed to the campus at the University of Bradford,where she's been shortlisted for the training attachment programme and if she had decided,she could graduate from here.However,she's pretty much in a dilemma and hence,she decided to call up Mayank.

Mayank:Ms Bharti,you've finally decided to join Trends,that's good..

Bharti:No,i have not!!

Mayank:What?You mean the talk with Dr Graham turned out to be fruitless??

Bharti:You did what?

Mayank:Nothing...(slapped his forehead as he swithed off the TV and heaed to the terrace upstairs)

Bharti:How dare you Mayank?You..You talked to my supervisor???What were you thinking??There are loadzz of deserving people out there!!People are dying to work with you,for you!!

Mayank:And yet i'm choosing you,Bharti!!

Bharti:Seriously,have you lost it?This is so not done,you hear me??

Mayank:I hear you,loud and clear!!Don't tell me you still haven't decided yet...

Bharti:I'm confused Mayu...Everytihng is going so wrong...Bhaskar's in London and so is Armaan..I shouted at both Payal and Bhaskar because of that Armaan,who's apparently staying in the same hotel as the three of us...Payal has no clue of Bhaskar bing in London or in the same hotel as us...And i had even asked her to sign the divorce papers!!

Mayank:You so did not,Bharti!!

Bharti:Yes,I did!!I was so mad because of Armaan!!

Mayank:Armaan?What did he do now??

Bharti:First,my dear friend,Bhaskar had to choose Jiya over me in confiding his surprise plan for Payal..Then Armaan has to go and butt in,talk to Payal and intervene in her's and Bhaskar'spersonal probz...After a somewhat long discusion,Bhaskar once again chose Armaan instead of me for help...Can you believe that??No matter how many times i tell him not to interfere,he's just got to butt in!!

Mayank:Why does it matter so much to you that Bhaskar chose Armaan's help?After all,the ulterior motive is to patch both of them up..I still don't understand why you asked Payal to sign the divorce papers!!That is not what you're supposed to do for yuor best friend,yaar...Look i'm not siding Armaan and i won't but what happens to you every time his name is mentioned??

BHarti:Mayu,please don't get started like Payal..I just hate it when she starts about how i'm denying some stupid feelings for him,which i so don't have,alright???I just hate him so much!!!Cuz he's snatching my two best friends from me!!!

Mayank:Bharti,just chill yaar...Just breathe,hmm?Well,that explains your confusion to me about you not wanting to join Trends...

Bharti:Mayu,it's nothing against you or The Trends...It's my selection in the TAP in London ityand i don' know if i'll ever get such a chance again...

Mayank:Oh shut up Bharti!!Just admit it that you want to maintain as much distance as possible and that neither me or my offer mean anything to you!!

Bharti:Mayu,stop with your emotional blackmailing,alright??(Mayu smiled as he knew this trick will surely work out)You mean a lot to me,understand?

Mayank:Then Bharti...Join Trends..Work with me and gain exposure!!!

~Payal's room~

Payal:Ok,this is it!!I can't just sit around..I've got to talk to Bharti now!!We can't stay mad at each other..(dialled Bharti's number)Damn it..Bharti,pick up the phone yaar..Busy!!Yaar,tumhaari phone har emergency par hi itni busy kyun rehti hain...(disconnected her call and thought about Bharti's last conversation)Kya waaqay mein Bhaskar badal gaya hain??Bhale hi mere liye uske dil mein pyaar kam hua ho par dosti kam hone ka kya matlab hua??Woh Bharti ke saath aisa har gheez nahin kar sakta!!I mean,woh aisa kyun karega??Sachaayi jaanne ke liye mujhe Bhaskar ka saamna karna hi hoga par...(dialled Shaz's number)Shaz,sunn...Mujhe tumhaari madat chaahiye yaar...

Shaz:Haan bol,Payal..(paused as she heard Payal)Kya????Arre,mujhe kaise pata chalega yaar...

Payal:MU jaao aur pata lagaao

Shaz:Par tum toh usse divorce...Don't tell me you changed your mind,hm?

Payal:I don't know,Shaz!!I'm confused and it's only because of Bharti's changed perspective..Initially,she told me not to sign but now she's asking me to,for she feels that Bhaskar doesn't care..I don't want the friendship between both of them to get affected because of the divorce..Help me out!!

Shaz:You tried calling him?

Payal:No,i haven't...Can you call?I'll text you his number...

Shaz:You're just unbelievable,do you know that?

Payal:Please,Shazzy...Help me..Bharti's mad at me and had gone out and i don't know when she'll return...

Shaz:Relax,Payal...Text me quick and i'll get back to you as soon as i get some info...

~University~

Bharti:Tumhe ek baat samajh mein kyun nahin aa raha hain,Mayu??

Mayank:I want you to stop running,Bharti!!It's enough..You're telling me Armaan's in London and you want to come here asap...When i ask you about work,you reject my offer cuz you're worried about Shreya but more than that,you're fearful about bumping into Armaan again and again...Why are you giving him so much footage and importance in your life,Bharti??

Bharti:Importance??How dare you say that,Mayu??

Mayank:Pretty much,Bharti!!Cuz i know you inside out,just like i know Radhika...I know what made you come to Mumbai in the first place,Bharti..I know what's been haunting you ever since her death..Both of us long for her,especially you and i know that very well,Bharti..I know how dependant you were on her in your childhood and early teenage life,way before you met Bhaskar and Payal..

Bharti:Mayank,what are you coming at?

Mayank:Bharti,i just don't want you to be hurt by depending on anyone...Just like how your world shattered before your eyes when Radhika had suffered...

Bharti:Mayank,please...(stopped herself from tearing up and took a deep breath)Stop!!!How in the world is Armaan linked to any of this?

Mayank:Bharti,i'm just warning you!!For God's sake,you're basing your decisions,thinking about the possibility of bumping into Armaan and ruining his life...Can't you see how much you care about him?Stop denying it,Bharti!!At least not in front of me!!!

Bharti:Mayank,there is nothing like that at all...In fact,if i'm caring,it's just because i feel so used to being his secret friend and if anything were to go wrong in his life once more,i wouldn't be able to take it!!!First,it happened with his ex-girlfriend,Preity and now Shreya...Mayu,i'm such a trouble-maker,i tell ya...

Mayank:Uffo,tum kabhi nahin sudhroge na??

Bharti:Hmm bilkul bhi nahin...

Mayank:In that case, meri job offer accept karo...Aur main tumhe Armaan se bohat door rakhuna,theekh hai?

Bharti:Kya???

Mayank:Kya hua??

Bharti:Mayank,tumhe Niharika ko baahar lekar chalna chaahiye...I mean,spend some quality time with her...

Mayank:I so knew it...That right now you were going to divert the topic...So typical of you!!!

Bharti:Whatever Mayu,but do it...And if i'm joining Trends,i demand no special treatment from you and you won't do anything to hurt Armaan and Shreya,hmm???Ok,i'll talk to you soon...

Mayank:Fine Bharti but talk to Payal first before things start taking a devastating turn..(Bharti agreed and both of them hung up)I just can't believe how Bharti agreed to join Trends because of him...She can so easily deny and i know that even her feelings for him...I know her so well,Radhika and i know that even you will agree that our Bharti has started falling for him...She simply doesn't want to acknowledge her feelings for him..I know how she must be feeling,for i had also been like her at some point in my life before you changed it forever!!Right now,i want her career to get kickstarted and for that,if i have to drive out all the hurdles,so be it..Even if one of them is Armaan himself!!!

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 264~

Meanwhile,Payal wondered what she ought to do,for she can't just sit idle and do nothing.Just then,her mobile rang.She had picked it up without looking who it was.

Payal:Hello Bharti???Kahaaa ho tum yaar...Kabse main tumhe...
Shaz:Payal,Shaz bol rahi hoon...
Payal:Shazzy yaar,tum???Kuch pata chala ki Bhaskar hain kahaa??
Shaz:Yeh tum mujhse pooch rahi ho??
Payal:Kya?
Shaz?Payal,Bhaskar London mein hi hain aur tum ho ke mujhe aisi faltu cheezon ke liye..
Payal:Bhaskar London mein hain???Ek minute...Tum yakeen ke saath keh rahi hona??I mean...
Shaz:Oh God,Payal,why would i lie to you??In fact, main toh MU gayi thi aur wahaa mujhe Jiya mili thi...Usse kuch jhooth bol kar bataa laga liya tha...
Payal:Tabhi toh,Shazzy!!Tabhi toh!!!
Shaz:Kya??
Payal:Bharti bohat ajeeb tarha bartaav kar rahi thi...Usne toh mujhe uski training programme ke baarein mein jaanne ke liye yahaa lekar aa gayi thi...Ek bahaana banaa kar par sach toh kuch aur hi hain...Woh khud mujhe aur Bhaskar ko milwaane ki koshish kar rahi thi aur main bhi kitni paagal hoon...Yaar Shazzy,thank you so much!!
Shaz:Toh iska matlab tum Bhaskar ko divorce...
Payal:Unn dono ki dosti ko bachaana hain mujhe..Filhaal main divorce nahin de rahi hoon..Shayad meri kadam hum teeno ki zindagi hamesha ke liye badal sakti hain,jaise Armaan ne kahaa tha..Mujhe Bhaskar se sab sach sach jaanna hain usse divorce dene se pehle...Soch samajh kar kadam uthaana hoga!!Filhaal main Bharti ko university mein milne jaa rahi hoon...Woh toh mujhse aur Bhaskar se roothi huyi hain,aur main usse kho nahin sakti...
Shaz:Theekh hain...Agar kuch bhi chaahiye,toh phone karna,hmm?Chal,rakti hoon...
Payal:Acha,sunn Shazzy...Thank you so much yaar...
Shaz:Bas kar Payal...Ab toh mujhe kya kuch nahin karna hain tumhaare liye,hmm?Phone rakho aur Bharti se jaakar baat karo!!(Payal agreed and both of them hung up;Payal woke Naina up and both of them hailed a cab heading towards the University of Bradford)

She kept dialling Bharti's number but her number seemed busy.Little could she have figured it out that Bharti too,on the other hand,had been trying to contact her best friend.Eventually,both of them gave up contacting each other.Payal kept instructing the cab driver to speed up while Bharti headed towards Ellington Inn,hoping to meet Payal and apologize to her in person.

~Ellington Inn~

Armaan finally managed to get his call through to Payal, after having made the call to Bhaskar 20 minutes back. He almost felt that he would be caught by Bhaskar but he didn't, as a result of his melancholic tone and as he dialled Payal up, he felt more confident.

Payal:Hello?
Armaan:Payal,hi..It's Armaan here..
Payal:Bolo Armaan..Kuch kaam tha kya?
Armaan:I'm afraid so..Just hear me out Payal..
Payal:Armaan,if you're going to say i shouldn't divorce Bhaskar,then don't worry..I won't,at least for now cuz i have yet to clear everything amongst me,Bharti and him...And thanks for informing me about Jiya!!
Armaan:(thought)Oh God,what should I do now?I've already told Bhaskar to go to Elis Hospital and meet Payal...Arggh,let me just get ahead with my plan!!
Payal:In fact,i wish to apologize for treating Jiya with such disregard..I shouldn't hav
slapped her after having had misunderstood her...
Armaan:Payal,listen to me...Bhaskar's in London,at Elis Hospital in a critical condition...He's been hospitalized!!!Please rush here quickly!!!
Payal:Wh...WHAT???Bhaskar's hospitalized??What...How do you know that he's...
Armaan:I came to London to specifically meet him and knock some sense into him but before i could talk to him and clear his misunderstanding about you and me...
Payal:What?You and me??He thought i was seeking your companionship??(instructed the cab driver to rush to Elis Hospital instead of the university;she agreed to pay him extra if he rushed without giving her the cold stares)He was actually jealous and insecure??(thought to herself))He still loves me for real!!!(just then,she recalled the shocking news of his accident and her smile vanished)OMG Armaan!!!Is he ok????I...I'm scared!!
Armaan:Payal,i'm on my way as well...Don't worry,just pray that everything's alright!!I'll meet you there straight away,k?
Payal:Hm hm ok,bye!!

Bharti kept knocking on her room door but just then a receptionist came and informed her that she just received a message from a lady named Payal about Bhaskar's accident and his hospitalization at Elis Hospital.The lady soon left.

Bharti:(thought to herself)Bhaskar's at Elis Hospital?How is this even possible??(dialled Bhaskar's number)
Bhaskar:Thank God Bharti ki tumne phone kiya yaar...
Bharti:Bhaskar,tum theekh ho?
Bhaskar:Bharti,main bilkul bhi theekh nahin hoon...Main kaise theekh ho sakta hoon jab Payal Elis Hospital mein admitted hain??Tum kahaa ho yaar?
Bharti:Payal ko kya hua hain?
Bhaskar:Bata nahin par uski haalat bohat critical hain...
Bharti:Bhaskar,yeh khabar tumhe kisne diya tha??
Bhaskar:Armaan ne...Kyun???
Bharti:Armaan ne??(thought to herself)Armaan Bhaskar aur Payal dono se jhoot kyun kahega??Yeh double games khelne ki kya zaroorat hain??
Bhaskar:Bharti...Are you there??
Bharti:Haan Bhaskar...I'll be there in a short while,k??
Bhaskar:Bhrti,hold on...I just want you to hear me out...
Bharti:What is it, Bhaskar??
Bhaskar:I didn't mean to choose Armaan or Jiya over you...They're as eequally close to me as you and Payal are...Just like how you and Radhika were,before you met me and Payal at your dad's socialite parties..You're not any less important than Armaan,Bharti...In fact,i wanted both of you to help me out when you had just misunderstood me just now...
Bharti:OMG!!!Bhaskar,it's Armaan...He lied to you about Payal's accident...
Bhaskar:Bharti,have you lost it?Why would he do that??
Bharti:He lied to both of you so that you and Payal could come face-to-face at Elis Hospital...He's doing this to patch you two up...
Bhaskar:OMG Bharti!!!
Bharti:What?
Bhaskar:I see Payal and Naina right before my eyes...And she's totally fine!!!
Bharti:Oh God...I'm coming!!!(hung up and asked the cab driver to rush)

Armaan looked around and went to the A&E section and the ICU, where he had told both of them to wait. He rushed upstairs and as he turned around from the reception,he saw both Bhaskar and Payal standing face-to-face with Naina by Bhaskar's side. Armaan smiled weakly,praying silently to God to set things right.

Bhaskar:Paayu...
Payal:Bhaskar,tum theekh ho??Armaan ne mujhse kahaa tha ki tumhaare accident...
Bhaskar:Jhoot kaha tha usne...Mujhse bhi kahaa tha ki tumhaare accident hua tha,sirf hum dono ko milwaane ke liye..
Payal:Kya???Aur tumhe pehle se hi bata tha?
Bhaskar:Nahin,badus minute pehle,jab mujhe Bharti ki call mila tha...I don't know but she knew it instantly that Armaan was lying...
Payal:I had left her a message about your accident at Ellington Inn...Perhaps that's how...
Bhaskar:I'm so sorry Payal...I didn't mean for us to grow distant in this manner at all!!!I am still in shock at how we grew so distant beause of these misunderstandings...I really want to make it up to you so much,Payal!!!If Bharti hadn't told me, i wouldn't have known at all!!!
Payal:OMG,is that Armaan???
Bhaskar:Oh freak...Bharti's here already??
Payal:Hope she doesn't vent her anger on Armaan...
Bhaskar:Let's rush to her..She won't open her mouth;she'll just be excited that both of us have patched up...
Payal:Okie...Come Naina!!
Bhaskar:Bharti!!!!(rushed and hugged Bharti)I'm so happy yaar...Payal and I are not getting divorced!!!(withdrew his hug)
Payal:(withdrew from her hug with Armaan)Thanks to you and Bharti for opening our eyes...I could have signed those papers long time back but had it not been for both of you,we could have taken the wrong step!!(Bharti looked at Armaan who was smiling at Payal)
Armaan:It's nothing like that,Payal...Now,my heart is at ease for i did a lil to set things right but i'm really sorry for pulling off this prank!!
Bhaskar:Dude,you could have at least informed me about this...But anyways...Bharti???
Bharti:Huh??(snapped out)I'm sorry,i need to make an urgent call...Excuse me!!

Bharti pretended to make a phone call,standing at a corner. As she looked at Payal and Bhaskar laughing merrily and Armaan holding onto Naina's fingers,she pondered.She realized that no matter what,Armaan wasn't going to listen to her or respect her decision.Bharti scrolled down the call log and dialled Mayank's number for she found the solution to her problem.

Mayank:Bharti,seriously you've got to let me sleep!!
Bharti:Mayu,trust me...I called you to make sure you lose your sleep!!
Mayank:What the heck happened,Bharti?What did he do now?
Bharti:Who?
Mayank:Armaan aur kaun?
Bharti:Shut up,Mayu!!Listen to me...
Mayank:Haan bol...
Bharti:Payal and Bhaskar have patched up,just 5 minutes back!!
Mayank:OMG;you patched them up?
Bharti:No,he did!!
Mayank:And you're fine with it?
Bharti:Mayu!!!!!
Mayank:Ok,i'll shut up!!!
Bharti:I'm willing to work for Trends,provided you select me according to merit and qualification via interview...
Mayank:Hmm ok...(paused for a while and BHarti patiently waited)What?????You're saying Yes????Wait...OMG!OMG!!!!You're not kidding,right??Ok,why would you kid me...Stupid question!!!(took his mattress and kept aside)
Bharti:Mayank,just schedule the interview and let me know...I'll b back in Mumbai by tomorrow!!
Mayank:Ok,do you want me to pick you up?
Bharti:It's ok yaar..Tum bh na...
Mayank:Bharti,this is your decision,na?
Bharti:Yes it is...Ok,i'm quite tired and i think you ought to rest as well,k?See you soon,k?Bye!!
Mayank:Bye!!(hung up and smiled widely)Finally,she said Yes!!!!Now i'll make sure no one comes in her way or mine...You want an interviw..You'll get it!!And i'll make sure you get the job,Bharti!!(dialled Shreya's number)

~Raj's place~

"Ab bata nahin ki maine woh contract papers kahaa rak diya tha...Agar Jiya hoti toh woh fatafat mujhe madat karti dhoondhne mein...Phone karta hoon usse!!(Just then the doorbell rang)Great,ab iss waqt kaun aa gaya hain???(left his mobile on the dining table)

Raj:Hi??
Gaurav:Raj Mlhotra,right?Hi,i'm Gaurav,your attorney...Jiya must have informed you that i'm coming??
Raj:No,she didn't..
Gaurav:She did not?Okay...Well i'm here for the contract papers??
Raj:What?
Gaurav:What happened?
Raj:Why don't you come in and make yourself comfortable??(saw Gaurav scrutinizing his home)Well,it's not exactly tidy for a highly organized fre...I meant..Why don't you sit down??
Gaurv:Sure..Let me guess;you were looking for your contract papers??(held the contract papers and Raj was surprised)
Raj:(smiled widely)OMG!!The contract papers...Thanks dude!!!Would you like a beer?
Gaurav:Not now;let me go through the clauses amd terms listed in the contract..By the way,be prepared for a brief meeting with the client tomorrow...
Raj:Yeah,ok//Just let me know the time!!
Gaurav:Sure,i'll keep the contract papers and will return it to you tomorrow...
Raj:Sure you don't want a beer before leaving?
Gaurav:No,not until we get the case closed in our court!!Cheers to that thought...I'll get going!!(handed Raj his contact info and his card before leaving)

~Mahi's place~

Mahi and Sonali were sleeping in the hall when her mobile rang. It was Pushpak and she quickly picked it up before Sonali woke up. Pushpak couldn't make out from the hushed voice of Mahi who instantly went to her washroom and locked it before raising her voice a lil.

Mahi:Pushpak,do you even realize what the time is,huh?
Pushpak:Mahi,where is Sonu?I need to talk to her now...She isn't picking up her phone!!
Mahi:Look at the time,Pushpak...Talk to her tomorrow!!
Pushpak:Mahi,don't play with me please...ave an inkling that i have already told you about h
Mahi:Why would i do that,Pushpak?IN fact,she doesn't even know that i've told you about her whereabouts and if she did knew,she'd kill me for sure!!
Pushpak:Mahi,my mum's at Fortis Hospital,in the ICU...
Mahi:What?What happened?
Pushpak:She had an onset of acute migraine..And she's under observation now!!I'm feeling really worried yaar...She was literally shaking and she had lost consciousness along the way to the hospital...
Mahi:OMG!!!Wait..Armaan's mum,Sudha aunty works there..Oh no,wait!!She's a psychologist...Pushpak,let me try to wake her up and send her to Fortis,k?
Pushpak:That would be a great favour,Mahi..
Mahi:No guarantees,Pushpak!!
Pushpak:Please try your best,please!!
Mahi:Keep me in the loop,k?(hung up and got out of the washroom)Oh God,please help me convince Sonu!!!

~Armaan's place~

Sudha:Are you serious.Armaan??
Armaan:(at Elis Hospital)Haan Maa...Bohat serious hoon!!!Both of them patched up and they invited me for dinner treat...
Sudha:I'm so proud of you Armaan...
Armaan:Maa,it was a silly old trick of Raj's...I seriously didn't expect it to work but it did!!Unbelievable,i tell you!!And after knowing the truth,Bhaskar and Payal didn't grow mad at all...Even Bharti didn't get mad at me...Just imagine if the plan were to get foiled...
Sudha:Then i'm pretty sure that Raj would be dead meat by now...But i'm not just proud of you for this,Armaan...
Armaan:Maa,main kuch samjha nahin...
Sudha:Uffo,i'm talking about Shreya,Armaan..You've decided to move on from Bharti and you've emerged successful at it..
Armaan:Maa,aap yeh kya baat...Maamaapne Shreya ke saath dinner kiya tha kya?
Sudha:Kyun?Kya main apne hone waali bahu ke saath dinner bhi nahin kar sakti,hmm??Sirf tumhe haqq hain kya???
Armaan:(muttered)Hone waali bahu??Oh God...Maa,yeh aap kya bole jaa rahe ho???
Sudha:Armaan,you know i've got no problems with your choice,right??And after our dinner,i feel that you made a right choice and i just want for you to be happy with her...Alright???
Armaan:Sure Maa but we'll talk when i get back,k??Bhaskar and Payal are calling..Love you Maa..bye!!(hung up)Mujhe Maa ko pehle sab kuch sach sach bataana padega warna bata nahin woh kya kar baithegi...Par kaise????

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 265~

Mahi tried waking Sonali up and when all her attempts failed,she resorted to pouring icy cold water on her face.Mahi bursted out laughing when Sonali sat uprightly with her disheveled hair coming in the way in front of her face.She instantly got her hair pulled to the back and splashed some water on Mahi's face as well to stifle her laughter.

Sonali:What's your prob,huh??It's only 12...Why did you have to wake me up at this hour?
Mahi:Please give me some company..
Sonali:Where are you going at this hour,huh??(saw Mahi grabbing her home and car keys)
Mahi:Somewhere quiet..Come on,i'm bored and i'm not getting any sleep at all!!Join me on a log drive...
Sonali:Yaar,mujhe sach much bohat neend aa rahi hain...
Mahi:I can por some more icy water if you insist...
Sonali:What the hell,Mahi...
Mahi:Please????
Sonali:Argghh...Chal!!(Mahi smiled widely)

~Elis Hospital~

Armaan had hung up and continued his banter with Naina while Payal and Bhaskar excused themselves for a while.

Bhaskar:I just hope everything's ok between us..I'm so sorry that of all the things,this could have happened..Once again,there's nothing between me and Jiya and there'll never ever be!!
Payal:Now,i know that and thanks to Armaan that everything's clear..But why was Bharti mad at you for,earlier?She seemed so disturbed just now..
Bhaskar:Payal,i wanted both her's and Armaan's help but she misunderstood me,thinking i chose him over her..
Payal:She was mad at you for that?Are you even sure??
Bhaskar:That's what she claimed to be mad at...
Payal:Something's amiss,Bhaskar..
Bhaskar:What makes you think so??

Bharti had walked towards Naina and Armaan who stopped talking.

Bharti:Thanks...(paused before continuing)Mere doston ko milwaane ke liye...Unhe rokne ke liye!!
Armaan:Bharti,woh main...Yeh sab jaan bhooj kar nahin kiya tha..Yeh maine...I'm sorry!!
Bharti:Yeh sorry kehna ka waqt nahin hain..(Naina saw Bhaskar and went to him and Payal)
Armaan:Bharti,kya hum dost nahin reh sakte?
Bharti:Tum yeh sawaal baar baar kyun pooch rahe ho jabke tumhe achi tarha se bata hain ki meri jawaab kya hain??(turned to go but Armaan held her wrist)
Armaan:Main sirf yeh ummeed lagaa kar pooch tha hoon ke ek din tum meri dosti phir se qubool karoge..(Bharti turned to face him)
Bharti:Tum achi tarha se jaante ho ki yeh harghiz naa mumkin hain...Khaas kar uss din ke baad...Tum Shreya se pyaar karte ho aur phir bhi tumne mujhe...Mujhe kuch bhi nahin sunna hain!!For God's sake,leave me alone!!
Armaan:(his eyes welled up instantly,firming his grip)Chod nahin sakta main tumhe...Kyunki tum mere dil ke itne kareeb ho,ki tum soch bhi nahin sakti..(Bharti fell lost in his eyes,both of them unaware of the fact that Payal and Bhaskar were watching the,)
Bharti:Main tumhaari zindagi mein aur mushkilein badaana nahin chahthi..Kab samjhoge tum yeh baat,huh??Mujhe bhool jaao...Main tumhaari kabhi thi hi nahin!!(Armaan loosened his grip)
Payal:Heyy Bharti,kahaa reh gayi thi tum yaar?(Bharti instantly took his hand away from her wrist)
Bharti:Bas ek phone call karni thi...Payal main nikal thi hoon;kal ke liye bohat tayyaari karni hain par tum aur Bhaskar thode aur dino ke liye yahaa pe ruk jaao apne teesre honeymoon ke liye,hmm??
Payal:Tum kal jaa rahe ho,hm??Yaar,rukho na...
Bharti:Nahin yaar,bohat kaam pada hain aur Mayank se bhi milna hain!!Ek interview bhi hain agle din..
Payal:Kal dinner ke baad chali jaana,hmm??
Bharti:Fine,make it an early one,k?My flight's in the evening...
Payal:Pakka,done!!
Bharti:Chalo,Naina...Aaj Payal aunty aur Bhaskar mamu ek saath rahenge...Hum chalte hain!!
Payal:Let's all go together...Come,Armaan!!

~Bhaskar's room~

Bhaskar:Finally we've shifted all your stuff here...Payal,you seem so tired!!
Payal:No Bhaskar,i'm fine...
Bhaskar:Ok now,that's one of the classic lies you girls enjoy telling..Come on,what is it?
Payal:I keep having the vibes from Bharti,as though something had gone wrong..She's hiding something from me,from us for sure but i didn't push her buttons further..She practically jumped all over me when i mentioned Armaan..
Bhaskar:She told me that she's forgiven him but she's not on talking terms...Strange or what?
Payal:Exactly,Bhaskar!!I felt so terrible when she just walked out from the room...I shouldn't have uttered his name in the first place!!
Bhaskar:It's ok jaan...(Payal looked at him and gazed longingly)Kya hua?
Payal:Aisa lagta hain jaise bohat arso ke baad tum mujhe jaan pukar rahe ho...(Bhaskar sat beside Payal and interlocked his fingers in her's;Payal leaned on his shoulder promptly)Bohat taras gayi thi tumhaare pyaar ke liye,Bhaskar!!
Bhaskar:Tumhe waaqay mein laga tha ki main aur Jiya..
Payal:(instantly sat upright,facing away from him)Nahin toh..(stood up from the bed but Bhaskar stopped her,holding her wrist)
Bhaskar:Tumse zyaada pyaar main kisi aur se nahin karta,Payal...(pulled her inwards and made her face him)I shouldn't have gone to London alone but what should i do with my stupid heart who's bent on having a grand surprise for you???
Payal:Surprise?What surprise???
Bhaskar:(placed his finger on her lips)Sshh...Kal,dinner se pehle,tumhe sab kuch pata chal jaayegi...Ok?(Payal nodded and kissed his cheek)Tumne dekha kaise Bharti ne ab hum dono ko kaise kareeb le aaya hain??
Payal:Hmm..(nodded and smiled)I love you!!
Bharti:Love you too,jaan...(kissed her forehead before both of them slept in each other's arms)

~Fortis Hospital~

Sonali:Hospitals of all places,Mahi??This is the best place you could drive to,on a long drive after waking me up from my sleep,huh?
Mahi:Come on yaar...I needed someone to accompany me to meet my friend who's in distress...
Sonali:Oh hello...(got out of Mahi's car,following her inside the hospital)It's your friend,not mine..So much for losing my sleep!!
Mahi:Chup chaap chalna,meri Maa...
Sonali:Who's this ridiculous friend of your's by the way?
Mahi:You'll get to know soon!!

As they kept walking towards the energency ward,Sonali stopped as she saw Pushpak.Mahi turned around and saw Sonali looking at her with fury as she went to talk to her best friend.

Sonali:So this is your friend,Mahi?Is this truly why you woke me up from my sleep,huh?
Mahi:Sonu,listen to me yaar...He had called you several times but you weren't picking up..His mum...
Sonali:You told him that i was with you all these while?
Mahi:Sonu,juz hear me out yaar...
Sonali:Yes or No???
Mahi:(hesitated before nodding in agreement)Yes...But only after hearing that his mum is unwell..
Sonali:So??Why do you care,Mahi,when i clearly don't??
Mahi:Sonu,how can you say that yaar??She's your mother-in-law!!
Sonali:She's not,Mahi!!(watched Pushpak)And i don't think she'll ever be!!(Pushpak was taken aback)
Mahi:Sonu???What rubbish are you uttering???
Sonali:This isn't rubbish,Mahi..In fact,i'm in my senses now!!I'm not going to let someone rule my life,alright?If his mum ever cared for his happiness,she would have apologized instantly but she didn't!!She doesn't even care if I'm in Pushpak's life or not;it doesn't make a difference at all!!I can't fight with her my entire life to garner a place in Pushpak's heart..I'm not going to do that at all!!(looked at Pushpak with tears)I've literally given up,Pushpak!!Neither you nor your mum care,so why should i even bother?And Mahi,don't..Don't try to talk me into seeing her,no matter how serious she is...I'll not let anyone take advantage of me,unlike you!!I'll wait in your car!!(left from there)
Mahi:(sat on the adjacent chair available)Sonali,you shouldn't have said the last few words...Pushpak,i'm sorry...
Pushpak:(sat next to her)I'm really sorry,Mahi..Yaar,tum toh jaante h ki main usse kitna pyaar karta hoon..I can't give up on her just like that..
Mahi:Then why aren't you doing something about it,Pushpak??Why aren't you proving it to her that she makes a great difference in your life??That without her,you are incomplete,hmm??
Pushpak:Mahi,just excuse me..The doc is here...
Mahi:Sure..(Pondered)Am i really a pushover??
Pushpak:Mahi,the doc said that he'll keep my mum under observation..Thanks for trying,Mahi..
Mahi:Seriously Pushpak,what the heck is wrong with you?Don't you care about her at all??You keep calling me...Why are you involving me in all of this?Why can't you sort this on your own??(Sonali stopped as she overheard after she came back looking for her)I can't believe that you would do this to her..I've got no problems in taking care of her and staying by her side for the rest of my life...That's what who I am to her but don't ever think of taking advantage of her or me in that matter!!If you're going to remain spineless,then I'll have to take some action!!

As Mahi turned around,she saw Sonali who had witnessed everything. Sonali smiled at her but she walked to her car and Sonali followed suit.

~Next Day~

Shreya had woken up and as she switched off her alarm,her hair strands almost jumped as she sprang from her bed to the washroom.She had come out of the washroom to take her clothes and got inside. Without having breakfast,she headed to Trends as soon as possible.She knew that Mayank was surely going to reprimand her and hence,she got mentally prepared.

~Trends~

Mayank was trying Bharti's number but she wasn't picking up.Shreya knocked and entered to see the cold looks of Mayank who glared at her after taking a quick glance at his watch.

Mayank:Do i have to spell it out to you,Shreya??How do you manage to come late for work most of the time?
Shreya:Sorry Sir!!
Mayank:Ash is so much more efficient compared to you!!She's done most of your work for the day and I can't believe that i got you the promotion..Is this the gratitude you have for your boss??Here,i'm reprimanding you for your childlike,immature attitude towards work and you're smiling??What's wrong with you??
Shreya:Sir,may I?
Mayank:What?(grew confused as Shreya hugged him in excitement)Let me go right now!!
Shreya:Oops,sorry Sir..Main itni excited hoon ki main aapko kya bataao..Sir,i'm going to get engaged!!Sir,i'm telling you first,aren't you excited??
Mayank:Engagement??(grew blank)Are you sure??
Shreya:Of course,Sir...In fact,Sudha aunty had convinced me that she would get me and Armaan engaged as soon as possible,over dinner last night..
Mayank:And Armaan consented to it?
Shreya:OF course, Sir..Yeh kaisa sawaal hain Sir?Woh mujhse pyaar karta hain..Zaahir si baat hain ki woh yeh surprise engagement ko lekar bohat excited hoga..
Mayank:Zaroor...Congratz!!
Shreya:Sir,maine aapko meri zindagi ke ahem announcement sunaaya hain aur aap khush nahin ho?
Mayank:Aisa koi baat nahin hain,Shreya..Main bohat khush hoon!!Congratzz!!Aaj ke liye tumhe maaf kardunga par aainda se..
Shreya:You're the sweetest boss ever,Sir!!And you're the first guest to be invited on my engagement!!
Mayank:Get back to your work!!

Shreya left to her desk while Mayank wondered if he ought to call Bharti to give her the news.

"Bharti would have known the news of Armaan's engagement by now..No!!Shreya just told me,so how would she know?In addition to that,Armaan's also in London..Obviously,he too isn't aware of this surprise engagement..Should i call or should i not tell her anything??She said Armaan's nothing to her,no one to her...So she should be the least affected by this piece of news!!Hmm,i'll call her after my meeting!!

~Few Hours Later~

Raj,Jiya and Mahi were talking to Gaurav about Raj's case but their hopes were greatly simmered by Gaurav.

Gaurav:This is supposed to be a 12-month contract,Raj..And you've simply completed..
Raj:Yeah,yeah i've just completed 9 months...Tell me if there are any possible loopholes..
Gaurav:Dekh raha hoon,Raj..The next meeting is in 3 days' time..I'll need to go through the entire contract..
Raj:Do whatever you want,Gaurav but i don't want any hassle..If nothing can be done,just be lean..I'll pay the charges..(just then he got a call)Jiya,handle this..Gotta take this call..(went inside his cabin)Hi Nihar,kaise ho?
Niharika:Theekh hoon..Kuch hua hain kya?
Raj:Nahin toh..Aisa kuch bhi nahin hain..
Niharika:Toh phir aaj tum mujhe miloge shaam ko?
Raj:Aaj nahin Nihar,bohat saara kaam padha hain..
Niharika:Koi baat nahin,Raj..
Raj:Sorry yaar..
Niharika:Chodna Raj..Get back to work!!
Raj:Hmm ok..Bye!!
Niharika:(realized that Raj had already hung up)Love you..

~Some time later~

Payal was blindfolded by Bhaskar who drove to Payal's surprise venue,where everyone was excited to go to. Even Bharti gestured to Naina to keep mum. Soon,everyone got out of the car.Bhaskar held Payal's hand firmly while she followed him,with not much of an option besides getting no answers out of Bhaskar.Bharti,Naina and Armaan tagged along cluelessly.Bhaskar untied the knot of the blindfold and Payal looked at the construction wok that took place.Bharti couldn't get a clue of why exactly Payal was beaming with pride when all she could see was an incomplete home in front of her,with no particular significance.

Naina:Bhaskar mamu,yeh kiska ghar hain?
Bhaskar:(carried Naina and turned to look at a confused Bharti)Yeh aapka Bhaskar mamu ka aur Payal aunty ke naya ghar hain par abhi tak tayyaar nahin hua hain...Bas bohat jald hi saara kaam khatam ho jaayega...(Bharti just realized that Payal had often talked to her about her dream home in London and how Bharti had chided her of her plan to stay away from her;she gasped in shock)
Armaan:Yaar Bhaskar tu toh chupa rustam nikla...Payal,Bhaskar...I'm really so happy for you both!!OMG...I can't wait to see the beautiful home once it's completed!!(hugged Payal while Bhaskar saw Bharti in tears and let Naina stand,heading to her)
Bhaskar:Heyy,what's wrong?
Bharti:(wiped her tears)Nothing...It's just...Why did you keep it so secetive??You could have told me,right?I've been part of your plans but you simply couldn't trust me on this one,right?
Bhaskar:Arre Bharti,you know that's so not true!!Yaar,i wanted to gift Payal this dream home when it was entirely ready but things got so bad between us that i had to prepare my anniversary gift for her...(Bharti caressed his cheek as he looked down)
Bharti:You couldn't have made it any more special for her,dude..And i'm real sorry for being such a petty friend..I shouldn't have brought up such issues of you wanting to seek the trust and help of your colleagues...Sorry about that!!
Bhaskar:Shut up,Bharti!!Don't you ever say sorry to me again,hmm??(Bharti smiled weakly and Payal stood beside Bhaskar and hugged Bharti real tight)
Bharti:Ok,that's so much of love for now!!I need to pack my stuff and get going..Come Naina!!
Payal:Bharti,kya tumhe aaj hi jaana hoga,hmm??Thode aur din ruk jaana yaar...
Bharti:(whispered to Payal)Tum ruk jaao apne erm...Teesre ya chauta honeymoon ke liye,hmm??(Payal pushed her mildly)Sorry yaar...Actually mujhe kal ek interview bhi hain..Now i'm no longer working at MU and i need to get my final draft of my thesis forwarded to Dr Graham by the end of this week too...But you and Bhaskar enjoy more days here,hm??
Bhaskar:What time is your flight?
Bharti:About 4 hours later..
Payal:Damn it yaar...I thought we could have inner together first before your departure...
Bharti:Sorry babez..I'll make a move then,k?
Bhaskar:Wait,we can all go together..Armaan,you've got any other plans??(He shook his head)Great,come with us..Let's go!!

~Airport~

Bharti's and Naina's luggage had already been checked in and thankfully she didn't experience any discomfort or any rude service from the airways staff she had booked on urgent notice.

Payal:(saw Bhaskar hugging Naina)Sach yaar,Naina ki itni aadat ho gayi hain ke..
Bharti:Kya Payal?
Payal:Yaar,bura nahin maanoge toh ek baat kahoo?
Bharti:Cut the crap,will you?
Payal:Naina ko mere aur Bhaskar ke saath rehne do...(Bharti widened her eyes in disbelief)
Bharti:KYA???
Payal:I mean, you'll be really busy and you really need your time alone...She might be a distraction for your thesis..And how would you manage if you were to go for your interview??
Bharti:Payal,she's always an inspiration to me,never a distraction..
Payal:She'll need your constant attention yaar..Look at her yaar..I've babysat her several times and she always wants you to reach home early and play with her..
Bharti:Paayu,i know i'm not perfect mom material neither will i ever be for i'm a single parent..Thanks for reminding me that by the way..But...(Just then,Naina came running to her)
Naina:Mama,kya main aaj Bhaskar mamu ke saath reh sakti hoon??(Bharti's taken aback)
Bharti:Par Naina,aap ke bag toh...
Naina:Mama,please...Aaj Bhaskar mamu ki holiday hain aur meri bhi...Please mama???
Bharti:(looked at both Payal and Bhaskar who stood slyly beside his wife)You think i don't know what you two have been up to,hmm??(Just then,she received Mayank's call)Excuse me...Hi Mayu,you don't have to pick me up...(Armaan was near Payal and Bharti)
Mayank:Uff Bharti,i know that and that's not why i had called you...I've got news for you!!
Bharti:I need the interview,Myank...
Mayank:Just hear me out,will you?
Bharti:Ok,sorry..Continue!!
Mayank:Shreya broke the news to me just now..She came late as always but this time round,with a special announcement..She had dinner with Sudha aunty and voila..She's getting engaged!!!!To Armaan...(Bharti's smile faded as she heard the news and looked at Armaan in shock)Heyy,you there???
Bharti:(snapped out and moved away from Armaan)Yeahh i am...This is good,Mayu...In fact,great for everyone!!!Thanks for informing me yaar...Finally someone's decided to move on for good and that too without me knowing...Total strangers;he's respecting my decision and hence i will respect his!!You know something?I'm happy for him,just like how any stranger ought to feel when such news is broken to her...(Mayank was totally shocked)

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 266~

Mayank:What?
Bharti:Why are you so shocked,Mayu?He's moving on from me,one thing which i've always wanted him to do since forever,Mayu...He's finally doing it!!I can't be more happier than thi!!
Mayank:(thought to himself)Mujhe aisa kyun lag raha hain ke woh apme aapko jhoota dilaasa dene ki koshish kar rahi hain?Woh bohat udhas hain,phir bhi khush hone ki dikhaava kar rahi hain...Aakhir kyun?
Bharti:Mayank,thank you so much for this news yaar for you've made my day..Thanks yaar,acha main rakti hoon..I need to head towards the departure hall..See you real soon!!
Mayank:Hello..Arre par...Kaat diya??(hung up)She surely sounded different!!(headed to Phoenix Restaurant to grab an early dinner)

Naina tugged at Bharti's jeans,asking for her permission.Bhaskar and Payal couldn't help but they too knelt down together with Naina,embarassing Bharti even further and leaving her no option but to agree and give in to let Naina as she was also getting late.She made Naina promise not to disturb Bhaskar and Payal and also made sure that her friends don't pamper her daughter too much either.Armaan couldn't help himself at all,wishing earnestly that he was still an integral part of Bharti's life,raising Naina along with her.Bharti kissed Naina's forehead and cheeks and turned to face Armaan.Bharti shook hands with Armaan,who was quite confused by her gesture.Just as he thought her handshake was for helping her dear friends reunite,she wished him well,"Congratz,finally you've made the right choice...Bye!!".By the time Bharti left,he fell deep in thoughts.

He looked towards the direction she had headed to,but in vain.Bharti had already left.Armaan's pupils moved repetitively to the left and right,trying to find the answer to the mysterious words of Bharti's.

"Why was she congratulating me for?And what right choice did I make??All i know is that i've wronged my heart and soul in not being clear about my emotions,my love for her..I've seen the love in her eyes at Goa,yet she didn't want to befriend me for she didn't want to hurt Shreya..But i just can't do this anymore!!!She's a carefree soul,so why is she worried about hurting anyone??I'm suffering way too much without her in my life and all she could say is that i've made the right choice??What is that supposed to mean??Maybe Raj could know the answer to what Bharti truly meant...(was about to dial Raj's number when he got a call from Sudha)

~Fortis Hospital~

Sudha:Hey Armu..How are you?
Armaan:Not ok,Maa...Aap mujhe ab phone kar rahe ho?
Sudha:Woh toh main thodi si busy thi..Kya karoo??
Armaan:Busy??Kiske saath?
Sudha:Oh hello...Tumhe yaad bhi hain ki tum kisse baat kar rahe ho??
Armaan:Maa,aap bhi na...Kaise ho??Waise,main aapko kisi aur ke saath waqt nikaal ne nahin dene waala hoon,yaad rakhna!!
Sudha:Acha,aur tu kya kar raha hain London mein,hmm?
Armaan:Maa,woh sab kuch toh theekh ho gaya hain...In fact,mujhe aapse kuch poochna tha..
Sudha:Haan,main sunn rahi hoon...Pooch!!
Armaan:Maa,mere ek dost ne jaate waqt yeh kahaa ki maine finally ek acha sa faisla le liya hain..I mean,mujhe kuch samajh mein nahin aa raha tha...
Sudha:Itna kyun soch raha hain tu,Armu???Jaa kar apne dost se pooch..
Armaan:Par woh toh jaa chuki hain,Maa!!Mujhe Bharti ki baaton ka kuch bhi...
Sudha:Bharti????(Armaan closed his eyes,realizing how much he had blabbered so effortlessly)Kya woh wahaa pe hain kya?Mujhe usse baat karni hain...
Armaan:Maa,you're too late!!She's already in the plane b now...Bhaskar and Payal managed to compel her to let Naina stay with them for a few days...
Sudha:And when will you be returning,Armu?
Armaan:Tomorrow,Maa...But help me out,na...What do you think she meant by me finally making the right choice??She just left without saying much...
Sudha:Armu,even i agree that you made the right choice!!
Armaan:Maa,ab aap kya keh rahe ho,hmmm??
Sudha:Yehi Armu,ki mujhe Shreya bohat achi lagti hain...In fact,she's the right choice for you and perhaps Bharti too was trying to say the same but how did she get to know about my secret plan?
Armaan:Secret plan?Kaunsa plan,Maa??
Sudha:Kuch bhi toh nahin..
Armaan:Maa????
Sudha:Kya?
Armaan:Hold it...Bharti was talking to Mayank before she departed..If Bharti knew about your plan,so did Mayank!!Maa,jaldi bolo ki baat kya hain...
Sudha:It's a surprise planned for you by both me and Shreya...So just wait till you get back home,hmm?
Armaan:What??Maa!!
Sudha:Gotta go...Bye!!!
Armaan:Maaa!!!(hung up as well)Aakhir aisa kaunsa plan jo mujhe nahin pata??

Armaan knew that he had to seek Raj's counsel despite it being such a bad timing.Just as he was about to dial Raj's number,he grew enraged to see Jiya calling him.He instantly disconnected her call,and this was repetitively going on till he received a message from Jiya.

xxStop cutting my calls.Itz urgent.Sudha aunty had dinner with Shreya and looks like she's going to do everything to hitch you two..Trust my instincts this time,if you've ever considered me your true friendxx

"Oh crap!!I hope that's really not the secret plan which Maa has in mind...It's ok if she likes my friend,Shreya but it's so not ok if she really likes my girlfriend,Shreya and if she's trying to get me settled with her...Freakin' hell !!(dialled Jiya's and Raj's number and made a conference call)

~Meanwhile @ Phoenix Restaurant~

Mayank was looking around the stalls for some Italian food.He finally decided on buing lasagne,which Niharika had been craving for and something else for him.Just as he looked up at the board which had its menu listed out,he bumped his head into Mahi who shook her head vigorously,widening her pupils in disbelief upon seeing Mayank.

Mayank:Tum?
Mahi:Tum??
Mayank:Unbelievable!!!
Mahi:Indeed!!
Waiter:Your order...
Mayank:(ignored her)Erm one beef lasagne,make it extra cheesy and spicy...
Mahi:Really?That's for you?
Mayank:What's your prob?It's for Niharika...
Mahi:Now that sounds more like it...
Mayank:Will you...(shut his eyes,filtering out Mahi's comment)
Waiter:Sir,anything else?
Mayank:Yes...I'll have...
Mahi:Sure,why not??This health freak will have your Romanian salad..
Mayank:Ok,that's it...(the waiter misunderstood and went inside)What is your freakin' prob,huh?
Waiter:Sir,ma'm...It'll take 5 minutes for your food to be ready...Please kindly wait...

After 5 minutes, both of them came and gave ther receipt to the waiter. They glared at each other before taking their individual trays away from each other and left to their respective tables.

Mahi:Oh crap!!
Sonali:What took you so long?
Mahi:This is not the food i ordered!!
Sonali:Sure,it isn't..You'd never order salad...Whose is this by the way?
Mayank:It's mine!!And just how dare you,Mahi...
Mahi:Excuse me??You too didn't take what you ordered as well so why are you only blaming me...
Sonali:(got amused)Wow,i think it's been a long time since i've seen this comradarie between you two...(both Mahi and Mayank glared at Sonali)Wow,impactful glare you two share...Well,not to deviate from the stares and all,but don't you two want to eat your food served warm??(Mahi snatched the tray from Mayank's hand)In fact,why don't you join us,Mayank??(saw Mahi giving her a death stare)What???You deserve this for pulling off your stupid act last night..
Mayank:Much as I would love to,Sonali...I'd rather ask the waiter to pack my food and leave..(gestured to the waiter's assistant to pack his food)
Sonali:Come on Mayank,are we such bad company?Oh wait,let me guess..You've got another girl to add to the list of your mysterious girlfriend,hmm??
Mayank:No Sonali...Have anymore doubts in your head??
Sonali:Sorry Mayank..My mood is quite off,so don;t mind me...I'm just so pissed off with my best friend,Mahi Talwar..
Mahi:Sonu!!
Mayank:Interesting...Then we can surely be super pissed at her together..(both Mayu and Sonu bursted out into laughter,much to Mahi's irritation)Some other time,Sonali..I'm rushing home to have dinner with Niharika...
Sonali:Sure,bye...(smiled and waved at him)
Mahi:What the heck,Sonu?Are you flirting with him?(ate her dinner)
Sonali:Hmm yeah,do you mind?
Mahi:You're in a relationship with Pushpak,for God's sake...
Sonali:Really,Mahi?But i don't think so...
Mahi:What???
Sonali:If he was really serious about me,he would have done something by now to save our love..
Mahi:So??You mean to say you're planning on going out with other guys??
Sonali:Not guys,Mahi..Open your eyes...Maybe i might just...Go out with Mayank,hmm??
Mahi:(almost choked)What??Why would you??
Sonali:What's wrong with you?I'll go out with whomsoever i wish to...
Mahi:No wayzz Sonu,not even Mayank...You get that??
Sonali:Sorry Mahi but that is just not possible...And now you just have got to head back to MU on your own since i'm taking your car..
Mahi:Heyy,i'm not done with my dinner yet..
Sonali:Too bad,Mahi...Bye!!
Mahi:Sonu!!!!

~London:Raj somewhere out in his car:Jiya's cabin~

Armaan:Raj,need your help yaar..
Jiya:Then why the heck did you call me for,huh?
Raj:Tell me,this is about ignoring Bharti??
Jiya:What?What's going on???
Armaan:Raj,this is and isn't about Bharti..
Jiya:I thought this is about Sudha aunty and Shreya..
Armaan:Raj,Shreya had dinner with Maa yesterday and Maa seemed super ecstatic when she talked to me just now..
Jiya:Oh ok,so you already got the news before my sms,hmm?
Armaan:Not only is that disturbing but Bharti just told me that i finally made the right choice before she boarded the plane for Mumbai...Now,what's that supposed to mean?
Raj:Ok,she said that?
Jiya:Why are both of you avoiding me?
Armaan:Cuz u're better off without us..And i wish i could just..
Raj:No calling of names here,Armaan...Come on yaar,bechari se galti ho gayi..Maaf bhi kardo!!
Armaan:Raj,Jiya bechari nahin hain..In fact,woh toh ek number ki shaitaan hain jo Bharti ko apne doston se door rakne waali thi...Just imagine if i had been a lil late in implementing the plan!!
Jiya:Armaan,i admit i messed up but it was just for Bhaskar's sake..And since when have your friends become inferior to Bharti,hmm?
Raj:Don't you get it Jiya,that itz always been that way??So dude,how is this linked to Bharti?
Armaan:You two are as equally important to me as how Bhaskar and Payal are to Bharti,get it??I'm feeling real scared as Maa is thinking of hitching me with Shreya...She keeps referring to Shreya as her daughter-in-law...
Raj:OMG!!Jiya...
Jiya:What?He brought it on himself..What do you expect me to say?He tried to seek Bharti's attntion by silently yet indirectly letting Shreya on..And now even Aunty's happy with his choice..
Raj:Dude,that's exactly why i've been telling you to try ignoring her..Maybe she'll have a change of heart..
Jiya:Raj,it's too late..If she had to feel something fo Armu,she would have felt it long time bck..(Armaan couldn't help but think about his kiss at the gazebo which was abruptly ended by Bharti)
Raj:Armaan,yaar..Time is just slipping from our hands and i think the best way out of this is to tell Aunty the entire truth..
Jiya:Or else...
Armaan:Or else what,Jiya?
Jiya:Stop Shreya..
Armaan:How?
Jiya:Think,Armu!!!You should have thought about it before letting her on..
Raj:Jiya,you're not helping..
Jiya:Ok,ok i'm sorry...Look,if we just focus on one of them,we might overlook the other and lose the precious time which is alrady so scarce..
Raj:You mean to say we've got to stop both Sudha aunty and Shreya??
Jiya:Exactly!!
Armaan:OMG,what if we're already too late??What if i really got hitched to Shreya...These few days had been so hard on me,you guyzz...I just...
Jiya:Armaan,you wasted way too many opportunities..But not anymore,get it?Or else,your life will be totally ruined!!And i don't want that to happen to you at any cost...If you want,i can talk to Bharti..
Armaan:She indirectly knows that i love her..Yet she's keeping a distance from me and it was only in front of Payal,Bhaskar and Naina that she was talking to me..Or else she wouldn't...
Jiya:OH God,i needto go with Sonu for an important meeting with a fashion associate..Tell you what,Armu?I'll head over to your place to talk to Sudha aunty tonight while Raj will talk to Shreya..
Raj:Heyy,why me?I've got my case,Jiya..I wonder if Gaurav has found any loopholes as of yet..I did this for Niyati but alas..
Jiya:Gaurav will find it out,Raj but can't you just help Armaan out for now?He is in need of your help right now!!
Raj:I'll tr my best,dude..(reached a floral shop before headng to surprise Niharika at Amore)
Armaan:Thanks guyzz..I'll meet you both tomorrow..Thanks for being there for me!!(hung up,so did Jiya and Raj)

~Phoenix Restaurant~

Mahi had just finished her dinner.She took her handbag and looking at her watch,she rushed out of the restaurant,only to realize that Sonali was true to her words.She had indeed taken her Ferrari from where Mahi had parked.She recalled how Sonali was openly flirting with Mayank.Knowing her best friend well enough,who did so to irk her even more,Mahi realized that it was critical to give a payback to her.Just then,she accidentally saw a girl hugging a guy,whose face she couldn't see clearly as both of them were apparently looking away from her.Mahi thought of an idea to bring Pushpak to his senses.She almost hailed an auto when the guy's face became clear to her.It was Ved.He was right in front of her and she froze,not responding to the autodriver's calls.The autodriver left and so did Ved and the girl who turned out to be none other than Alisha,Bharti's friend,leaving Mahi's eyes sunken in tears.

Mahi gasped in shock,crying endlessly.In a split second,she felt as though the flashbacks of her failed marriage came to light as destiny had brought Ved in front of her.She sat on the pavement,reminiscing of how painstakingly she was divorced.From her perspective,it was the separation from Ved which akmost brought about a major depressive onset in her post her abortion.She wondered why she had to be the one suffering while Ved get to be the happier soul,basking in the beauty of other feminine souls as Alisha.

Mahi stood up and started walking from there. She hailed another auto and headed to Men's Universe an hour later,She closed the door of her cabin and started searching high and low,in between her neatly organied folders and drawers.In a sudden rage bout of frustration,she hurled all her files onto the floor.She shook her desk and just as it hit her,she opened her drawer and sat on the floor.

After some time,Jiya and Sonali returned.Sonali headed to Mahi's cabin to get the folder of the fashion associate with whom she and Jiya had met an hour back.Sonali opened the door to see papers and files all over the place.

Sonali:Uffo Mahi,don't tell me ki tum mujhse ab bhi naaraaz ho..Come on yaar,it was just casual flirting with Mayank and nothing else..To irk you and to ensure that you'll not pull off a silly act such as yesterday..That's all!!Anyways,tumne woh Lizz Designs ki folder toh dekhi hain kya?Abhi bhi unke fashion associate se milkar aa rahi hoon Jiya ke saath..(continued collating all the papers into the various folders)Mahi,sunn rahe ho ke nahin??Shayad humaari meeting pakki ho sakti hain inke saath..Mahi,chup kyun ho yaar???(placed all the folders on her desk and went to Mahi who had her eyes closed)Mahi,ro kyun rahe ho yaar??Mahi,dekho ab maine kaan bhi pakad liya hain...Sorry yaar!!Arre Mahi,ab bas bhi kar yaar..(shook Mahi real hard and only then did Sonali realize that Mahi's unconscious,taking her aback in extreme fear)Mahi...Mah...MAHI!!!!!)tried splashing water but to no avail and just then,Jiya arrived to see Sonali's devastated state)

~NEW PROMO~

Mahi:So,what's stopping you now??
Mayank:I've gone through what you're going through right now and i almost lost my friend to the pills and had i not reached in time...(snapped out)You're lucky this time round but you'll never be all the time,if you're thinking of drastic measures...(leaned forward and looked her eye-to-eye)Giving up your life despite being surrounded by people you care and that includes Sonali..Have you thought about her,who stood by you through thick and thin???But i guess you're simply a weakling who can only lash words at me...A coward is who you are,Mahi and that totally defines you!!!
Mahi:Who the hell do you thi...(got interrupted as Sonali came back with the medications)
Sonali:Give me a break,you guyzz...You two will never leave a place out to fight,huh??(both Mahi and Mayank looked at each other)Ok,stop looking at each other..It's a hospital,for God's sake!!!
Mayank:Sonali..I'm not needed here any longer so i'll make a move..But yeah,if you need anything...
Sonali:Yes,Mayank?(Mahi looked at Sonu in irritation)
Mayank:Call Niharika,she'll be ever ready to help!!

~Jab Lurve Hua Part 267~

Jiya:Sonali,kya hua?

Sonali:Jiya...(locked Mahi's cabin door)Mahi's unconscious..I came to get the folder and there she's..OMG!!(knelt down to see Mahi's left hand)

Jiya:Kya baat hain,Sonu?

Sonali:Look at this..She has had sleeping pills and the bottle's empty..

Jiya:OMG!!(saw a petrified Sonali)Let's talk to Sudha aunty..

Sonali:No!!I'm bringing her to Dr Ankita,whom i had previously contacted..Jiya,i'll bring her in her car..You've had a long day so just go home..I can't take any chances with her..I deserve more than this for leaving her alone at dinner...(Jiya helped Sonali bring Mahi to her car)

Jiya:Please keep me updated,k??(silently prayed for Mahi while she called up Raj)

~Amore Salon~

Sush:Ok Nihar,i'll make a move..But before that,do turn around..

Niharika:Raj??I thought he's busy today..

Sush:Ahem..do i have to know anything?

Niharika:Just that he's sweet..

Sush:I'm warning you..Guyz like him are heartbreakers...

Niharika:Whatever,Sush..Get going!!

Raj:(entered the salon)Hi gorgeous..

Niharika:You said you were busy and that you had a lot on your mind today..

Raj:I thought so too but i wanted to see the smile on your face which would instantly erase all the lines of discomfort and problems in my life at the moment..

Niharika:Thanks for these fresh flowers...(kept in her vase)What's wrong,Raj?

Raj:Crap,hold on..(answered Jiya's call)What is it,Jiya??

Jiya:Are you bz?

Raj:What do you think?

Jiya:Raj,i'm so sorry to disturb you at this hour...

Raj:Hurry up Jiya,shoot it..

Jiya:Mahi popped sleeping pills and Sonali had driven her to see some Dr Ankita..

Raj:What????

Jiya:(sounded extremely panicky)Raj,i was shell-shocked..She looked so creepy and so cold...And so stiff,as though..(paused)As though she's..Raj,i've never seen her like that!!

Raj:Ok Jiya,just calm down..Where is Mahi right now??(Niharika seemed concerned)

Jiya:I don't know Raj..Sonu brought her to the doc she knows of..Sonu was feeling so guilty..

Raj:Why?

Jiya:Actually she told me what happened between her and Mahi at dinner...

~Trends~

Shreya had kept the folders of recruitment lists,under which potential candidates' files were placed,which Mayank and his panel were going to interview the next day. She left soon after that,not realizing that she was being watched by Ashley.Right after Shreya left,Ash added another file to Shreya's list, and texted Vinita of getting the work done.

Raj:What??So she just left Mahi??

Jiya:Raj,it was just a small retribution,i guess...I didn't ask much.But i'm basically freaked out right now!!

Raj:Ok wherever you are,come over to Amore..Can you do that??(Niharika's shocked)

Jiya:Amore,as in Niharika's salon?

Raj:Yeahh,hurry cuz she's gonna close soon..I'll be waiting for you..Bye!!(both of them hung up)

Niharika:What the hell,Raj??I thought we aren't telling anyone..

Raj:Nihar,Jiya needs me!!She's freaked out!!

Niharika:I'm not stopping your meet-up but here??She's going to find out everything and soon Mayu will know everything...I don't want him to find out from someone else..

Raj:(held Niharika's arms)Nihar,things are going out of control..I want you to hear me out..At dinner,Mahi and Sonu had a tiff...(elaborated on what Jiya had told him,shocking Niharika to the core)

Niharika:She really took sleeping pills??

Raj:I don't know how her situation is,now..Jiya has no idea which hospital Sonu had brought her..Damn...What's taking her so long??

Niharika:So what's your plan for now?

Raj:I just don't know...(hugged Niharika)What could have happened to her all of a sudden??

Niharika:She'll be fine,Raj...Trust me!!

Raj:(withdrew from his hug and kissed Nihar's palms)Thanks!!

Niharika:I gotta take this call,it's Mayu..Raj,look..Jiya's here..Get going!!Just text me if you need me,k?(Raj nodded and left in Jiya's car)

~Mayank's home~

Mayank:Nihu,what took you so long?

Niharika:Nothing,Mayu..Just like that!!

Mayank:Hold on..What are you so tensed about??Is everything ok?(Both Mayank and Niharika sat on the sofa)

Niharika:Yeah,everything's just..How was your day,Mayu?

Mayank:I had a long chat with Bharti last night and today as well...She might join Trends after my panel and i interview her tomorrow..And i got you your special craving--beef lasagne..And if i hadn't checked,you would have gotten Mahi's food..(Niharika's eyes welled up as he told her everything)I just don't understand how she manages to appear everywhere i go..It's just so ridiculous,i tell you..(Niharika bursted out crying,confusing Mayank)Kya hua,Nihu??(she cried endlessly)Heyy,look at me..(Niharika looked at him as he wiped her tears)Won't you tell me anything??Who made you cry??

Niharika:I'm scared for Mahi,Mayu...

Mayank:(let go of her hand)What??

Niharika:Her friend..R...(made up a lie)Jiya told me that when Sonali reached MU after her meeting with Jiya, she went to Mahi's cabin...Mayu,Mahi had popped sleeping pills,several of them..Sonali had taken her to a hospital but all are scared if she would make it or not...

Mayank:(got disturbed)Sleeping pills??(murmured)OMG!!(tears slowly formed by the edge of his eyelids)

Niharika:Mayu,she would make it,na???

~Flashback~

A girl was brought to the operation theatre in a stretcher pushed promptly by several nurses at late night.Mayank and Bharti were told to wait outside.

Mayank:Bharti...(couldn't stop his tears)Bharti,usse kuch hoga toh nahin na??

Bharti:Radhika ko kuch nahin ho sakti..Woh tumhaara pyaar hain na,usse kuch bhi nahin hoga...(bursted out crying,leaning on Mayank's shirt,smearing the blood stains from her dress)Woh humaari farishta hain aur usse kuch bhi nahin hoga...(the doctor came out)Doctor,doctor...(held Mayank's hand firmly)

Doctor:I'm afraid to inform she's no longer with us...We tried our best but she had bled out way too much,by the time we operated...

Bharti:(let go of Mayank's hand and held the doctor's coat)How could you say that??How can you give up on my best friend??She's my protector,my angel..How could your team give up??Who licensed you to even become a doctor in the first place???(Mayank slowly took her hands off from the doctor's coat)

Doctor:I'm really sorry for your loss...

Bharti:The hell you are..(the doctor left and Bharti looked at Mayank)I can't,Mayank...She's always been there for me..I still think she's alive..(went inside)

Mayank:Bharti!!Bharti...

Bharti:Look at her,Mayank...Radhika,utho...Dekho,tumhaari Mayank intezaar kar raha hain...Uth yaar...Dekh,zyaada bano matt,umne usse bohat thadpaa liya hain...Ab aur nahin!!!Mayank,tum bhi kuch bolo...Radhika!!!Wake up,damn it!!!(Mayank snapped out as Niharika'a mobile rang)

~Fortis Hospital~

Outside the ICU stood Raj,Jiya and Sonali who had informed her friends.Niharika rushed to Jiya,murmuring to her about her lie and as Mayank approached them,she enquired about Mahi's stats.All were pretty much clueless,hoping that the doctor would come out soon.Mayank stood at a corner,thinking of what had happened to his love and his dear friend.He closed his eyes,as recalled bringing Bharti to the hospital as she too had taken several sleeping pills,not being able to take the pain her guilt-filled heart was giving her.Bharti had been a destroyed soul,after being separated from Radhika who died,while trying to protect and save Bharti.If Bharti had the power to reverse things,it would only be to revive her best friend and bring her back to life.Mayank silently prayed that none of that happens with Mahi.He had no clue of what could have possibly occured to lead to such drastic measures,but right now he just wanted her to be alright as he doesn't want a best friend to yet another close friend of her's.

The doctor came out after some time and smiled at Sonali,informing her that Mahi is now out of danger but she requires rest for a couple of days and Sonali guaranteed to take great care of her best friend.Niharika went to Mayank who opened his eyes and got the positive news from Sonali's smile.Raj and Jiya went in with Sonali to see Mahi before leaving off.Jiya offered to drop Niharika home.Meanwhile,Sonali asked Mayank to stay for a while as she needed to get the medications.Mahi tried to adjust herself but Mayank stopped her.

Mayank:Don't strain yourself so much..

Mahi:Stay away from me...I don't need anyone's help for i can take care of myself!!

Mayank:I think you've already shown me and everyone else that..

Mahi:Why are you here in the first place??(Mayank saw Mahi fidgeting restlessly as she looked at him)

Mayank:I wasn't here on my voluntary will...Nihu was very much worried for you and hence i had to accompany her to meet you..

Mahi:So,what's stopping you now??

Mayank:I've gone through what you're going through right now and i almost lost my friend to the pills and had i not reached in time...(snapped out)You're lucky this time round but you'll never be all the time,if you're thinking of drastic measures...(leaned forward and looked her eye-to-eye)Giving up your life despite being surrounded by people you care and that includes Sonali..Have you thought about her,who stood by you through thick and thin???But i guess you're simply a weakling who can only lash words at me...A coward is who you are,Mahi and that totally defines you!!!

Mahi:Who the hell do you thi...(got interrupted as Sonali came back with the medications)

Sonali:Give me a break,you guyzz...You two will never leave a place out to fight,huh??(both Mahi and Mayank looked at each other)Ok,stop looking at each other..It's a hospital,for God's sake!!!

Mayank:Sonali..I'm not needed here any longer so i'll make a move..But yeah,if you need anything...

Sonali:Yes,Mayank?(Mahi looked at Sonu in irritation)

Mayank:Call Niharika,she'll be ever ready to help!!

Sonali:Mayank..

Mayank:Yes?

Sonali:Thanks for dropping by at this hour!!(Mayank looked at Mahi)

Mayank:Sonali,take care!!(left from there)

Sonali:How sweet of him,na?

Mahi:Shut up!!

Sonali:Oh come on,he's come all the way and now he's left,asking you to take care..

Mahi:Yeah,right!!(shook her head as she thought of Mayank saving his friend who took the sleeping pills)

~Next Day~

Bharti landed in the afternoon and unlocked her home.She called up Payal and Bhaskar to inform them of her arrival before she called up Mayank to know the time of her interview scheduled at Trends.She decided to sleep for a while before preparing herself for the interview.

~Fortis Hospital~

Sonali:So,tell me..

Mahi:What?

Sonali:Why???You're surely not so mad at me that you popped the pills...

Mahi:Well,i clearly was...Don't you think so?

Sonali:No!!I believe i've heightened your madness at me before...So why??

Mahi:Well,i choose not to answer you,hmm?

Sonali:What the hell do you think of yourself,huh?You've got no choice but to answer me,correct??

Mahi:Why?

Sonali:I'm your closest friend and i'm exercising my rights upon you..So,tell me..

Mahi:Sonu,it was a mistake,k?

Sonali:What???Taking your life...a mistake???Wow!!!And i thought Mahi Talwar could come up with something better!!

Just then,a nurse came to check on her and soon,she brought the discharge papers.Sonali drove Mahi back home and stayed with her for a while.

Mahi:What now?Aren't you going to go and work?

Sonali:I'm not done with you,Mahi!!!

Mahi:Whatever,Sonu!!You're not going to get anything out of me cuz..My plan has obviously failed!!!

Sonali:What plan,huh?(Mahi blended her act and disguised it with her plan of uniting Pushpak and Sonali)

Mahi:Why do you care?You don't want to accept Pushpak neither see your mother-in-law..You don't care about my opinions or advice for you so why should i tell you?

Sonali:(stood up and held her elbow)What??Wait...What???You mean,you did this so that Pushpak and i??(glared furiously at her)Are you freakingly out of your mind??Even at this point of time,you care about Pushpak and his mother??For God's sake Mhi!!!I thought you understood me when i saw you defending and vouching for me in front of him but you just...You just don't get it,do you Mahi??You simply don't get it!!Even you think that i'm making a huge issue out of what had happened between me and Pushpak..You have the slightest idea of what i went through when i saw you unconscious in your cabin!!But you don't care about our friendship at all!!You know what?Just do whatever you want!!!!(stormed from there)

Mahi:I'm sorry Sonu..(wiped her tears)I can't tell you what i saw and what caused me to take my life...I can't let you see my soul having been torn apart,which you saw years back,all over again..Not again,Sonu!!!

~Trends~

Mayank:Come in...Yes Maria???

Maria:Sir,aapne koi bouquet order kiya tha??

Mayank:Haan..Ok,tum mera ek kaam karo..Likho...(dictated a short message to writ on the Post-It note on the bouquet)Uska address...Tum jaao...

Shreya:(saw Maria leave)Good afternoon,Sir...Sir,woh Assistant Editor ke post ka candidate profiles maine kal raat hi rakh diya hain...Woh bouquet?

Mayank:Tumhaare liye nahin hain..

Shreya:I was just asking,Sir..Sorry!!

Mayank:Interview kitne baje rak diya hain?

Shreya:Ek ghanta baad,Sir!!

Mayank:Ok,i'll be back in an hour!!

Shreya:Sir,par aap kahaa jaa rahe ho?

Mayank:Baahar,hmm?I'll be back in an hour!!(left from there)

Shreya:Sir,itni jaldi mein kisse milne jaa raha hain??

~Fortis Hospital~

As Mayank enquired from Dr Ankita,she informed him that Mahi has already been discharged,a few hours earlier.He found out her address from a nurse who had attended to her and headed towards Mahi's place.

Meanwhile,Mahi headed to shower.She kept reminiscing about her married life,crying her heart out as she submerged herself in the pool of warm water in the bathtub,having flashes of Alisha and Ved.

Mayank reached Mahi's place and rang the doorbell repeatedly but there was no response.Now,he wished he had not thrown the card which she had offered him to contact her anytime.He became a lil concerned for Mahi for she had just been discharged and tried to think positively. He read the message which Maria wrote on the Post-It note.

xxYou're a bold,independent girl..Think of those who care about you and never be a coward in the race of life,ever xx

"Why should i be concerned for her??Maybe she went out for a while with Sonali...(looked at his watch)I'm running late..I'd better get going!!(placed the bouquet by the side,at the doorstep before leaving)Totally looking forward to meeting Bharti.."(drove off from there)

~Trends~

The interview had already begun.Mayank kept Bharti's folder at the end,since he realized that she hadn't reached as of yet.There was a total of 12 candidates.The panel did most of the questioning while Mayank asked a question or two.Bharti finally reached Trends but she realized that the interview was over as there were no more candidates. Just then,Maria came and Bharti enquired from her. She heaved a deep sigh,feeling very much relieved that the interview wasn't over.She headed to take a seat outside the conference room.

Maria called her inside and she left from there.Bharti looked at Mayank and both of them smiled subtly.She thanked Mayank silently while he gestured a Thumbs Up.She began to answer each question confidently until Mayank asked her a question.

Mayank:Very well,Ms Bharti..How are you going to manage your career with your daughter by your side??What will your priorities be here--your daughter or your career??

Bharti:Hmm Mr Mayank Sharma,i value your question.It is indeed unacceptable on my part to neglect my daughter nor is it in my interest to not pursue my career objectives.This is a challenge i face every day and both my daughter and I are very well aware of.I've attended this interview only due to the fact that this job will be my big blueprint of success and Trends will never regret its decision upon hiring me!!(smiled as she knew she had impressed Mayank big time)

Mayank:The interview's over but please be seated outside.

Bharti:Sure!!(couldn't help but wink at Mayank subtly)

As she got out of the conference room,she was shocked to see Gyaan seated across her. He walked forward and sat next to her.She crept out when he had asked her,"So,how did your interview go??"

Cheers,

Jassie
