~ArBi FF Jab Lurve Hua~Part 271 pg141 - Page 20

Bharti:Heyy you ok??

Armaan:(smiled) Yeah i'm fine...

Bharti:I can't believe that I'm going away from you for two weeks....Gonna miss Mom, her beautiful smile....

Armaan:Aur main??

Bharti:Tum???Tumhe main kyun miss karungi??

Armaan:Tum mujhe miss nahin karoge??Ek baar bhi nahin????

Bharti:Nahin...Tumhe toh main miss nahin karungi....

Armaan's face just became so pale for he got disheartened.

Bharti:Aur tum jaante ho kyun???Arre poocho na Armaan....

Armaan:Kyun???

Bharti:Kyunki tum hamesha mere dil mein rehte ho!!!

Bharti's words echoed in Armaan's heart.Armaan was surprised to hear such words from Bharti and he couldn't help but smile.Armaan looked at her with his welled-up eyes and Bharti was kinda shocked.

Bharti:Kya hua Armaan???

Armaan:Tumne kya kaha???

Bharti:Yehi ki tum meri secret friend ho aur sabse khaas dost ho aur hamesha mere dil mein rehte ho...Toh tumhe main kaise miss karungi???

Armaan:Heyy I'm really touched..Thanks a lot!!!

Bharti:Aww Armaan.....

Bharti hugged Armaan intimately and Armaan felt so nice to be in her arms and hugged her back.For a moment he just felt as if he's just gotten the solace and comfort he badly needed. He has never felt so much happier in his life for he didn't need anything else. He didn't want anything else or anyone else and he didn't want time to fly. He simply wanted this moment to last forever in his life and held her even closer in his life.Bharti realized that Armaan was holding her a bit too closely and called out to him.

Bharti:Armaan...Armaan..I..I..I'm feeling painful.

Armaan:Bharti,(still in his dreamworld) Bharti I just wish you don't have to go..

Bharti:Armaan..are you ok???Leave me please....It kinda hurts...

Armaan:Oops..oops I'm so sorry....I'm really sorry..Tumhe zyaada chot toh nahin lagi na??

Bharti:Armaan just a lil bit..But are you ok???

Armaan:I don't know..I guess I...I was thinking about some other thing and accidentally held you a lil closer..Sorry about that!!!

Bharti:Nah that's fine...Chale???

Armaan:Chalo...

Bharti:Hey Armaan...

Armaan:Hey Bharti...

Both of them ended up laughing for both of them said it at the same time.

Bharti:Ok you first....

Armaan:Will you like to spend one whole day with me tomorrow???Just you and me..before you leave for Goa???

Bharti:But tomorrow's Monday....you have work na???

Armaan:Yea I do....You can see how my day goes at work..What say???

Bharti:I might get bored...

Armaan:You won't..I assure you that and tomorrow I want to bring you somewhere else as well...

Bharti:Interesting..so is it something like a date??Hahaha...

Armaan:Well if you insist on seeing it as a date, I totally don't mind....

Bharti:Ahh..I see Mr Armaan Sinha is flirting with me??(raises her eyebrows)..Well ever since I've met Raj..I think I so don't mind chota mota flirtish talks...

Armaan smiled at Bharti and both of them headed for home.

While everyone went to sleep, Armaan just turned to face Bharti on their bed. She was sleeping deeply and facing him.Armaan just couldn't stop smiling as he kept rewinding the time to where Bharti just hugged him and he hugged her back. He felt different when he's with Bharti as compared to when he's with anyone else. When she appears in front of him, he just don't understand what happens to him. He smiles instantly and can't help doing certain things which he couldn't imagine himself doing.Usually he perceived himself to be a very introverted and private person. But things are slowly changing.He quickly stood up from his bed and went to the kitchen to make some coffee for himself.

Armaan was waiting for the water to boil.While waiting, all his mind could think of was Bharti.Her curls,her beautiful smile, the chatterbox Bharti..She is just perfect just the way she is. She is so lovable and everyone just falls in love with her. Armaan started to find everything about her just so perfect, even her irritating words too seem sweet for him.But he is not sure if this is just some sort of infatuation, a feeling which might vanish after some time for Bharti's only to be in his life for just some more months.Tonight, Bharti made him realize that she could be the only girl in his life and he didn't want to leave her at all.He just wants her support and her love throughout his life. He knew that she might not think of him just like how he thinks of her and dreams of her every now and then but he can't afford to lose her. But he couldn't understand why she has become so close to him.

Sudha:Main kuch madat karoo???

Armaan:Maa aap??

Sudha:Haan main!!Arre tumhara dhyaan aaj kal kaha rehte hain??Paani toh kab ka ubhal chuke hain....

Armaan:Ohh..yeah..aapko chahiye??

Sudha:Sure...I will lurve it..

Armaan took two mugs and served coffee for himself and Sudha.

Sudha:So...

Armaan:So??

Sudha:Arre batao mujhe...Tum toh apne aap se baatein kar raha tha...

Armaan:Maa actually aap kisi ko bataoge toh nahin???

Sudha:You mean tumhara doston ko bhi pata nahin??

Armaan:Nahin...

Sudha:Arre wah..theekh hain...I'll keep this as a secret until you tell me to inform the others....

Armaan:Actually Maa main Bharti ke baare mein soch raha tha...

Sudha:(raises her eyebrows and smiled) Kya soch raha tha???Hhmm???

Armaan:Uffo Maa...I don't know..Actually I'm felt so terrible saying bad things about her Kheer and told her off for irritating me...But I realized that I did wrong and talked to her at Jiya's place and she just talked as if nothing took place...Aur...

Sudha:Aur???

Armaan:Maa, I don't know what's been happening to me for the past one week...I'm feeling so frustrated with work aur upar se baar baar Bharti mere saamne aati rehti hain...

Sudha:In MU???How can that be possible???

Armaan:Uffo Maa..Khwaabon mein...

Sudha gasped in shock.

Armaan:Kya hua???

Sudha:Tum kabse sapna dekhne lage..Huh??

Armaan:Maa...

Sudha:Nahin tumne toh aaj tak sapne ke baare mein kuch nahin kaha...She came in your dreams???How romantic, meri shonu!!!!

Armaan:Maa..stop pulling my cheeks!!!!

Sudha:Pehle uske liye tum mujhse joot bolte ho..Ab yeh Bharti sapne mein bhi aane lag rahi hain....Not bad!!!!

Armaan:Par mujhe yeh sab kyun ho raha hain??

Sudha:Tumhe sach much nahin bata???

Armaan:I do not know if this feeling is just a temporary one..like I really love her company..or is it going to stay forever...

Sudha:Interesting question!!!Well you know what...I'm going to ask some questions and will you tell me the answers from your heart???

Armaan:Interview le rahi ho??

Sudha:Haan..ok??

Armaan:Ok..poocho....

Sudha:Jab Bharti kisi aur se baat karti ho toh tumhe kuch ajeeb lagta hai??Meaning kuch aur dost...

Armaan:(recalls Bharti dancing with Raj) Haan thoda thoda...

Sudha:Aur jab woh tumse baat karti hai tumhe achanak itni khushi mehsoos hota hai..Aur tumhe bohat khaas mehsoos hota hai??

Armaan:Haan bohat zyaada...Jab woh..(pauses for a while)

Sudha:Jab woh kya??

Armaan:Kuch nahin..Aage poocho..

Sudha:Jab tum usse taklif pohanch the ho kya tumhe bhi taklif hota hai??

Armaan:Haan..hota hai..(was quite confused)

Sudha:Neend kam aane lagta hai uski yaadon mein???

Armaan:Arre haan Maa...

Sudha:Arre wah...Right now all I can say is that you are starting to fall for Bharti...But I don't know if it's just some sort of attraction or not..But I know that now Bharti's not just a friend for you....Par ek baat kahu..Tell me if I am right..Were you behaving as such to avoid your feelings for bharti???

Armaan:Haan Maa...I thought by avoiding her, her thoughts will just go away from my head...

Sudha:Hhmm...well that will never work at all dear...It will only make things worse!!!

Armaan:I've experienced that and learnt my lesson!!!

Sudha:Good that you learnt it quick...(caresses his hair)..Waise she's going two days later...

Armaan:Both of us are going out tomorrow...the whole day...

Sudha:The whole day aur MU???

Armaan:I've invited her to MU...aur kaam ke baad kahin ghoom kar aayenge...

Sudha:Great..khaana khaa kar hi aana...theekh hai???I'm going to give you a little freedom...Don't be back before 12 am...What say???

Armaan:Maa...

Sudha:Come on have a blast tomorrow..Arre yaar bohat maza kar le....KYa bata..shayad aisi mauka mile ya na mile..you know!!

Sudha went to her room while Armaan just sipped his coffee and thought of what he could do tomorrow with Bharti to make her day extremely special.

Bharti woke up the next day,closing her eyes and stretching her hands. She smiled while sitting upright on her bed and just smiled at the thought of a new, fresh morning.She went to the washroom to brush her teeth and rinsed her face with cold water, one of the favourite things to do early in the morning, making herself feel real fresh.She wiped her face and went to the kitchen and saw Armaan who was sleeping with his head laid down on the kitchen table with a mug of coffee in his hand.Bharti thought of shouting in Armaan's ears and she did so, waking up a startled Armaan.Bharti couldn't stop laughing at Armaan and Armaan grew irritated and started to chase her and Bharti hid behind Sudha who came in between Armaan and Bharti. Armaan asked his mum to move away but Bharti kept sawying to the right and left and she quickly let go of Sudha's shoulders and started throwing the cushions on the sofa at Armaan and ran to the balcony.Armaan asked her to stop and Bharti and Armaan stopped and ended up laughing together.

Armaan:That was so fun na??

Bharti:Yeah...hehe...A quick warm-up for you..I didn't know you could sleep while sitting down too..Reminds me of my first year at uni...I used to sleep for boring modules...

Armaan:At the back bench???

Bharti:Yeah..missed all those days....

Armaan:I'm seriously going to miss you Bharti...

Bharti:You are very sweet..Ab jaldi jao..go and get ready....

Armaan:Heyy you too get ready..We'll go together...

Bharti:Where??

Armaan:MU...remember??

Bharti:Oh yeah main toh bhool hi gayi thi!!!Ok we'll go..Par main tumse kuch maangna chahthi hoon aaj...

Armaan:Kya???

Bharti:Woh baad mein poochongi...K??Par..

Armaan:Par kya??

Bharti:Erm..kuch nahin...go and get ready!!!

Bharti stood up, looking outwards at the balcony while Armaan turned to look at Bharti and saw her curls moving as the winds blew them to and fro and Armaan hit his head and smiled and went to refresh himself.

Bharti went to the bathroom to bathe and get ready. Armaan still had no idea where to bring her and he was waiting for his mum to come for breakfast. Soon she came and saw Armaan falling lost in his thoughts and nudged him and sat beside him.

Sudha:Where's Bharti??

Armaan:She is getting dressed...

Sudha:Well where are you bringing her today???

Armaan:Maa I seriously have no idea...Where should I bring her???

Sudha:Hello..why are you asking me???You're the one bringing her....

Armaan:Maa I thought you could help me....

Sudha:Waise you're bringing her out...Bring her to those places which you find special..Where you would love to spend your time...Show her a day in your life..

Armaan:Maa thank you so much!!!You're the best....

Sudha:Aww..Ab bas bhi karo...

Bharti:Good morning Mom....

Sudha:Very good morning dear....I'll get going,k??Enjoy your breakfast,k??Tada...

Bharti:Bye Mom...Have a great time at work!!!(smiled at Sudha)

Armaan:I'll just be right back...I'll get my file and we can go off,k??

Bharti:Yeah sure!!!

Bharti enjoyed her breakfast and looked at her mobile if she received any missed calls or messages.Just then Armaan came and took her mobile from her.

Bharti:Heyy..Armaan my phone...

Armaan:Ermm can we do something today??

Bharti:We are,aren't we???If we aren't then...I'll just head to Payal's radio station....

Armaan:Yes of course we are definitely doing something,not to worry about that....

Bharti:Cool so what are we doing today???

Armaan:Well I'm intending not to tell you that....

Bharti:Interesting....so it's like a surprise outing with Mr Armaan Sinha,yeah??

Armaan:Will you like to spend a day of how I will usually do so whenever I'm free??

Bharti:But you are not free today..since you've got work!!!

Armaan:Just come....And yes let's make a deal...

Bharti:What???

Armaan:We'll try not to look into our mobile or use it at any cost....And whoever uses their mobile first..erm will have to do something for the other..How about that???

Bharti:Cool...I'm cool with that!!!

Armaan:Chale???

Bharti:On one condition...I'll ride the bike today..What say??

Armaan:No you won't...

Bharti:Yes I will...(takes the bike keys from him and quickly sits on the bike)...

Armaan locked the house while he saw Bharti smiling at him.Armaan shook his head and told her to get started.

Armaan:So you know how to ride??

Bharti:Of course Armaan....Actually na I used to have a bike par ek choti si accident ki waje se..

Armaan:Accident??Kab??

Bharti:Like 6 years back...And ever since then Bhaskar stopped me from riding a bike....Sometimes I just drive too fast cuz I simply lurve to ride fast....

Armaan:Am I safe??

Bharti:Yes you are Armaan....

Armaan directed her the way to MU and she was looking here and there and Armaan was getting tensed and kept telling her to look straight and drive properly and Bharti brushed that thought off and decided to scare Armaan a lil by driving really fast and finally she parked the bike in front of MU in an instant.

Armaan:Bharti you really scared the hell out of me...

Bharti:Haha...I have that charm on all my friends...Hehehehe...

Armaan:I almost got a heart attack!!

Bharti:Uffo ok ok fine..So here we are....Are you sure that your boss won't mind me being here??

Armaan:Just come with me,will you???

Armaan and Bharti were in the MU lift.Bharti was just humming some tune in her head and playing with her fingers and looking at her manicure and admiring the red polish which Payal did for her recently.The lift door opened and Armaan asked her, "If you are done admiring your nails,shall we?? and Bharti just smiled and went with him. Armaan looked around to see if anyone was looking at them and Bharti was hiding behind him.

Bharti:Seriously Armaan what are we doing???

Armaan:Ssshh...dheere se....Chalo!!!

Bharti tiptoed and before she could take another step, she got caught by someone.Before she turned around, she caught hold of Armaan's shirt and he turned around and was stunned to see Bhaskar behind them. Armaan gestured her to turn around and Bharti turned to see that it was Bhaskar.Bharti let out a deep sigh of relief.

Bharti:Uffo tum thi Bhaskar???

Bhaskar:Waise tum dono kar kya rahe ho??And what the heavens are you doing here Bharti??

Armaan:Well..Bhaskar and Bharti you guys keep talking...Excuse me...

Bharti:Armaan..Armaan!!!

Armaan:I'll catch up with you later....

Bharti was shocked by Armaan and looked at him with an irritated face and turned to Bhaskar.

Bharti:Well....yes Bhaskar!!!

Bhaskar:Why are you here???

Bharti:Erm actually woh...

Bhaskar:OMG Bharti..you're here because you are going to fill up the application letter for the assistant creative head's position for the MU newsletter???Am I right???

Bharti widened her eyes in shock and she practically wanted to speak and tell him about her's and armaan's plan today but she just let it go and just nodded her head.

Bhaskar:Come come..we'll go to the cafe and we can fill up the application form from there....

Bharti:Great..(had a sarcastic smile on her face) Chalo!!!(after realizing that Bhaskar is not going to leave her if she hadn't agreed to him)

Bhaskar took Bharti to his cabin,got the application form and the copy of her certificates and brought her to the cafe while Armaan went to his cabin and he was surprised to see Jiya waiting for him.

Bhaskar:Come come..we'll go to the cafe and we can fill up the application form from there....

Bharti:Great..(had a sarcastic smile on her face) Chalo!!!(after realizing that Bhaskar is not going to leave her if she hadn't agreed to him)

Bhaskar took Bharti to his cabin,got the application form and the copy of her certificates and brought her to the cafe while Armaan went to his cabin and he was surprised to see Jiya waiting for him.

Armaan:Jiya...??What's up??

Jiya:How many times have I called you??Why weren't you picking up???

Armaan:Koi khaas baat???

Jiya:hhmm....Why did you ask Amarjeet for half-day leave??

Armaan:Cuz I need half-day leave...Anyways...

Jiya:Uh-uh...You are not right these days...Where's my best friend Armu, who tells me everything...What have you done to him???

Armaan:Well...nothing in particular...Maybe...

Jiya:Hhmmm....

Armaan:Heyy...these are some pics..Where's Raj??

Raj:Banda haazir hai yahaan pe...These are my pics..We've got to choose the best few amongst these....

Meanwhile, Bhaskar introduced Bharti to Sonali,Mahi,Hira Bhai,Narain and Jenny.

Bharti:Heya all...Erm...Is there anything nice here to eat??

Bhaskar:Lots...well my special favourite is our chaat masala...

Bharti:You guys have those here???How awesome....

Narain:Bharti-ji...Kya hua??

Bharti:Uffo Narain....don't give me so much of respect..Just call me Bharti....Waise yaha ki coffee kuch zyaada achi nahin hai kya??

Narain:Well it depends on the people I'm serving to...

Bharti:Lollz why??

Narain:And also on my mood...Whoever angers me tend to get bad coffee...And whoever who tips me gets good coffee...Will you want some??

Bhaskar:Get her your famous hot chocolate..Bharti just loves hot chocolate!!!

Bharti:Oh wow you guys have hot chocolate too??I just love hot chocolate with the brownies....

Bhaskar:Hhmm she'll get Amarjeet out of job if she continues to list her cravings!!

Bharti:Heyy....it'sas if I'm going to work here....

Bhaskar:You are, Bharti...

Bharti:Look I'm only doing this because you are saying it..I got a good offer with Alisha and Sanjana at MWorld....

Sonali:MWorld??

Bharti:Haan...Kyun??

Sonali:MWorld is Men's Universe rival competitor...

Bharti:Oho...icic...But i've already sent my application to MWorld already...And now I'm sending my application here...let's see where i get an earlier response and I'll join there...

Bhaskar:Well I'm keeping my hopes high..and according to your language, if by mistake you get a job here than you'll be working with Sonali,Mahi and Raj...

Bharti:Raj??But I thought he's a photographer...

Sonali:Actually he's a freelance photographer cum the creative head of our newsletter...You know it just launched last month but we are getting lukewarm responses...

Bharti:Do you mind if I could take a look at it???

Sonali:Now???

Bharti:Yeah..but if you guys don't mind....

Bhaskar:Cool..jaldi jao Sonali....

Sonali:Will be right up....

Bhaskar:Bharti I'll catch you later...Meanwhile you and Mahi take a seat first..All the others have work...

Bharti:Okiezz....Hey Mahi right???

Mahi:Yeah..hi...

Bharti:Tum hamesha itni chup chaap ho??

Mahi:A lil...

Bharti:Anyways I'm not to bite you up,k???Waise you look really gorgeous..and this salwaar really suits you....

Mahi:Thanks a lot...Real sweet of you!!

Bharti:Waise how long have you been working here???

Mahi:About 5 months....Been helping out in the media department for quite some time and Raj had suggested starting a newsletter and Amarjeet sir really liked the idea and hence Raj recommended Sonali and me to work with him..Sonali has been here for quite some time....Heyy you're married???

Bharti:Yeah...for about 3 months....you??

Mahi:Well I'm married but got divorced recently..

Bharti:I'm sorry about that!!!!

Mahi:It's ok...

Bharti:Heyy actually you know what...You'll get someone more deserving...Chill,k???Let me pray for you....The guy who left you..Erm..May he die out of a major accident, get rabies and feel suffocated for life.....

Mahi couldn't stop laughing and Armaan thought of meeting Bharti. He saw her laughing and getting along with Mahi and was totally stunned for he had never seen Mahi smiling in MU before. Armaan and Jiya went to have lunch at MU and Armaan asked Jiya not to inform Bharti that they are there and Jiya agreed and both of them sat a table distant from Bharti's and observed Bharti.

Bharti looked at the newsletter and wondered why the newsletter was so thin and suggested some ideas for their newsletter.

Bharti:Well don't mind me...I think the colours could be more bright and different..Besides that, instead of writing articles similar to the MU magazine, we could actually bring in contrasting articles or even the viewpoints from the different employees of MU...weekly issues going on in MU...etc,etc....What say???

Sonali:Wow..great!!

Bharti:Aur..aur...erm you can try and convince your boss to actually double the size of your newsletter....

Sonali:I totally agree..What say Mahi???

Mahi:That was really fast Bharti..Your brain works at the speed of lightning...

Bharti:Haha you guyzz....Just try it..obviously we don't want our readers to read the same thing in MU magazine and the newsletter too...Yeah???

Sonali and Mahi applauded for Bharti who asked them to keep quiet and both Sonali and Mahi really wished that they could work with Bharti and hoped that she could get an internship in MU itself!!

Jiya watched Armaan and smiled at him. Armaan finally told Jiya without herself asking that he had taken half-day leave to spend time with Bharti before she leaves for Goa tomorrow.Jiya was surprised by Armaan's plan but all in all she was really excited for him. Armaan left from there with Jiya back to the studio to discuss and finalize their photographs to be sent for Amarjeet's approval. Sonali and Mahi too were about to leave. Just then Bharti asked them for armaan and they looked at each other in surprise. Bharti told them that Armaan is her good friend and Mahi smiled at her and told her that he must be in the studio at Level 2 and Bharti thanked them and went to take the lift.

Bharti met Gyaan and Vinita in the lift. They wondered how come Bharti is there.

Vinita:Bharti,right??

Bharti:Yeah..

Vinita:Oh what a pleasant surprise..Bhaskar didn't inform us that his best friend is a model..

Bharti:(thought to herself)Yeh main kaha phas gayi hoon...Just want to get out asap....

Gyaan:Bhaskar bhi na...What..Oh great what happened to this lift??

Vinita:Gyaan what did you do??

Bharti:Erm excuse me...press the emergency button..

Gyaan:Right...We know!!

Bharti saw how Gyaan was practically panicking and Vinita was pestering him to do something for she's feeling super hot.

Vinita:Gyaan kuch karo na jaldi please!!!

Gyaan:Vini darling ek minute...

Vinita:Ab tak toh lift theekh chal rahi thi..Ab yeh ladki aa kar..

Bharti:Oh hello maine kya kiya hai...Lift mein koi aa nahin sakta kya??You guyzz...Hatto!!!Such losers...

Bharti pressed the emergency bell button and waited for some response. Meanwhile, Jiya and Raj were arguing on which photographs to be taken.

Armaan:Guyzz we've got no time...

Jiya:Acha bachu..is it you or is it us??

Raj:Kyun..Yeh kaha jaa raha hain??

Jiya:Kisi ke saath d8 par..

Raj:Arre wah!!!Kya baat hai yaar...Kiske saath??(seems really interested)

Jiya:Bharti ke saath...

Raj:(disinterested)Acha..(sulks) Anyways I really like this photo..I mean it goes in sync with the theme..

Jiya:(noticed the lack of interest in Raj's voice) Look at this yaar..This is much better..What do you think,Armu??

Armaan looked at both of them and realized that this was indeed going to take a long time and he just didn't know what to say and looked up in desperation.

Armaan:Guys this is going to take forever..And I really have no time..

Jiya:In that case you can go off first..

Armaan:No way!!!I'm not going to allow you two to decide..Let's start from scratch again..

Meanwhile..In the lift,

Vinita:Arrgghhh...this is torturous!!!

Bharti:Will you two just shut up???It's seriously irritating...Tum dono toh aise baat kar rahe ho jaise lift kabhi pehle breakdown hi nahin hua ho...

Gyaan:Nahin hua tha

Vinita:Nahin hua tha

Bharti:Okay...Is mein chillaane ki kya zaroorat hai??Life mein aisi kahi saare cheezein hain jo pehli baar hote hain,get it??

Vinita:Hellooo!!!!Koi hain??Please help!!!

Gyaan:Yeh bikhaari ki tarha chillaana bandh karo pehle!!

S-L-A-P!!!

Bharti:Oops..Erm..iss andhere mein kisse thappad padhi??

Vinita:Mr Gyaan Verma ko..

Bharti:Icic..So sad!!Ok ok...guyzz sshh...Hello, yeah we are stuck in the lift...Please help us!!!

After some time, the lift operator offered a hand and amongst the three of them, Vinita rushed out first by asking Gyaan to bend and she climbed on him and got out. Bharti and Gyaan wondered who would go out next. The lift operator asked them to hurry up and both of them ended up rushing at the same time and telling each other,"Mujhe pehle jaana hai" but ultimately Gyaan went out next and by then, the lift was already working and the lift operator simply asked Bharti to wait and everything went smoothly and she went to meet Armaan at level 2.
