~ArBi FF Jab Lurve Hua~Part 271 pg141 - Page 22

Meanwhile Sudha made some chappati and both Armaan and Sudha ate dinner quietly, missing Bharti's presence. Both of them looked at the empty chair and just silently wondered if Bharti had reached safely or not. After dinner, Sudha and armaan sat on the sofa, just browsing through some magazines. Just then, the phone rang and both of them sprung up and went to the phone and Sudha pressed the Speaker button. It was Bharti, calling from Goa to inform them that she has safely reached and now the;re at Alisha's guesthouse with her family. All of them are pretty much exhausted and she's going to have dinner with Rohan and ALisha's parents. Bharti sent her love and regards to Sudha and Armaan in a rush and quickly hung up.

Armaan felt so at ease upon hearing Bharti's voice. He smiled and kissed his mum goodnight and went to his room. He closed the door and switched off the lights to sleep. He turned around as he always did but he didn't see Bharti for she's in Goa. It's the first night in 3 months of their marriage that Bharti wasn't sleeping on the bed. He knew he was getting a bit too crazy and he closed his eyes and tried to sleep but instead, he dreamt of Bharti sleeping beside him.

Bharti's hair was partially covering her face and Armaan gently placed her hair away from her face and behind her ear. She opened her eyes and gazed into his eyes. Armaan took her hand and pulled her towards him, feeling her warm breath on his cheek. Bharti smiled and closed her eyes, gently kissing him on his cheek. Bharti looked at Armaan, placing her hand on his chest.

Bharti:Kya hua Armaan?

Armaan:Mann mein ek darr sa lag raha hain..

Bharti:Kaisa darr??

Armaan:Bharti, yeh darr ke tum mujhe chod kar kahin door na chali jaaye...

Bharti kept a finger on his lips and told him to listen to his heart and trust her. She assured him that she's always in his heart and will never leave him or part from him and Armaan held her in his arms, sleeping comfortably.

The next day, Armaan woke up and prepared breakfast. Jiya and Raj dropped by as well.

Armaan:Kamaal hai..Raj woke up early??

Raj:Yeah and i thought i'll see Bharti at the tracks today..Only then did I realize that she had left for Goa..

Jiya:Hehe..Erm..where's Sudha aunty??

Armaan:Maa left much earlier for she had an important case to handle..

Jiya:Has Bharti called??

Armaan:Yea last night..She has reached there safely at her friend's guesthouse..Oh yes..these are 3 slices of the lemon cheesecake yuo so badly wanted to try..Raj have it too...

Jiya:OMG!!

Raj:You made these??

Jiya:No duffer...Bharti made it before leaving..This is terrific!!Payal was so right..I'll wait for her to come back and ask her to make some for me...By the way you won't believe what I heard from Bhaskar yesterday...

Armaan:(the three of them got out of home, heading to Raj's car) What??

Jiya:He actually recommended Bharti to take up her internship at MU...

Raj:What??You're joking,right??

Armaan:Serious??Great news!!!

Raj:For which post???(murmured to himself) Don't tell me assistant creative head..

Jiya:Assistant to the creative head for MU Newsletter...

Raj:(thought to himself) OMG...This is just perfect!!

At Men's Universe

Over the next few days, Jiya was assisting Sunny in getting the fashion event organized for Sunny's new designs to be launched. This was a major opportunity to showcase his talent and he simply wanted no errors and he knew he could trust Jiya. Meanwhile Armaan and Raj were getting ready to cover the entire event and capture the moments of the day. They waited for Amarjeet to come and get the event started. Jiya excused herself to bring Amarjeet.

Meanwhile, Gyaan and Vinita were discussing.

Vinita:Are you sure??For how long??

Gyaan:2 months..And if she's promising, Amarjeet can even consider to extend her internship period..

Vinita:I don't really have positive vibes about her..She can pose as a threat for us..

Gyaan:Vini darling,what threat??

Vinita:You won't understand...We've got to do something..Let's head to Amarjeet's cabin..

At the same time, Bhaskar was in Amarjeet's cabin, trying to find Bharti's application form which she had left on his desk. Just then he heard some voices and quickly hid under Amarjeet's desk. He recognized the voices, that were of Gyaan's and Vinita's/

Vinita:Jaldi uss Bharti ki application dhoondo..

Bhaskar:(murmured to himself) In dono ko kaise aur kyun,,Why do I keep forgetting that Gyaan is Gyaan, the informer and someone who sniffs out things like this..He had helped me several times too in such ways..But why are they behind Bharti now??

Vinita:Mili??

Gyaan:Nahin abhi tak toh nahin..

Jiya:Kya nahin mila aap dono ko??

Gyaan:Kuch nahin..

Vinita:Haan kuch bhi toh nahin..

Jiya:Acha..erm Amarjeet sir ko kahin dekha hai??

Gyaan:Nope..

Vinita:No dear..

Jiya:(sits on Amarjeet's chair) Tum dono yahaan pe kar kya rahe ho??

Vinita:Kuch nahin Jiya..(smiles)

Just then Jiya saw something moving and deliberately dropped a pen and she bent down and she was shocked to see Bhaskar. She almost screamed but Bhaskar stopped her in the nick of time and gestured to her to tell them to go off. Jiya faced Vinita and Gyaan back and told them that Bhaskar's looking for them. Bhaskar was confused and Jiya asked them to leave promptly and they did so. Jiya went out and looked if they were really gone and went back to Amarjeet's cabin to meet Bhaskar. Bhaskar hit his head while getting up from beneath and Jiya helped him out.

Jiya:Uffo Bhaskar what are you doing here??

Bhaskar:Erm nothing...

Jiya:Oh really??

Bhaskar:Ok ok fine bata tha hoon ppar no one should know about this..

Jiya:Armaan and Raj??

Bhaskar:Ok fine but no one else....I'm trying to find Bharti's application form so that I can keep it on top so that amarjeet will be impressed with her's and shortlist her..Anyways I've already told him about her....And he's quite impressed...

Jiya:Awesome..I'll help you as well...

Both Jiya and Bhaskar were searching and finally Bhaskar got the form and held it. Jiya asked him to be wary of Gyaan and Vinita and to keep a back-up copy just in case and Bhaskar thanked her. Jiya told him to hurry for the fashion event and she rushed off for Sunny might be looking for her.

The fashion event went extremely well and Sunny was super excited. There were no errors and Jiya was there to support him all the way and she had briefed the models really well and Sunny thanked her for her help.Bhaskar and Sunny walked down the ramp with Amarjeet and the rest of the models and the evening concluded on a well note. Amarjeet welcomed every one for refreshments while Jiya went to Sunny and encouraged him and told him that his designs were simply much, much better than the previous collection last month and his collection will become a major hit this time round and Sunny was all smiles and went to meet the models. Jiya went to talk to Armaan and Raj.

Jiya:Heyy where's Armaan??

Raj:Don't know...He's acting so weird nowadays...You won't believe what happened an hour back...

Jiya:What??

Raj:He actually asked me if Bharti was standing behind the models who were walking down the ramp just now...I mean...

Jiya:What??

Raj:Not only that..he was focusing his camera but he kept thinking that Bharti was there and he practically wanted to go upstage but I stopped him and gosh....He's really weird!!!

Jiya:OMG!!!

Raj:Ab kya hua??

Jiya:You've given me such great news....Don't you see it dude..He's really missing her!!!

Raj:Even I miss her too...

Jiya:But do you see her behind the models??No,na??

Raj:No....That's totally preposterous....

Jiya:Say it louder and Amarjeet will snatch that word from you..Anyways I think our dear Armu has deeply fallen for her....(smiled widely)

Raj:That's crazy....

Jiya:Why is that crazy...What's wrong in missing someone so much....

Raj:I don't know..I just find that all so weird..How can someone just miss someone so much...

Jiya:Hhmm...When you'll fall in love some time..I mean serious kinda love...Then you might understand,k???Filhaal this is a time to celebrate!!!Let's celebrate,na??

Raj:Hhmm...you're celebrating by stepping on my broken heart hunni!!!

Jiya:Oh will you get a life or something dude???Heyy...how about that model...Don't you find her hot??

Raj:Lollz nah....

Jiya:Goodness...I so need to find a girl for you soon or else you'll just get this rattling tape on me for ever....

Raj:Heyy...

Jiya:Come on yaar....She belongs to someone else..And you can't do anything about it....I'm totally positive that this is love..True love!!

Raj:Hhmm....

Jiya:Oh come on Raj..let's celebrate for Sunny's success at least....You celebrate for that and I'll celebrate for Armu.....Waise where is he??

Raj:He actually left for home, saying that he's not feeling too good...

Jiya:Wow....Someone's feeling love-sick for Bharti who's busy enjoying herself out there in Goa.....Hehe...Ok ok fine..chalo let's go for dinner!!!OR do you have any other plans???

Raj:Well i was thinking of asking that model for dinner....

Jiya:Awesome...Finally you are paying heed to my words..Go and enjoy yourself,k???See ya later....

Raj:Where are you going??

Jiya:To see my love-sick friend..Or tell you what..I'll head for home...I'll call him up and let me see what he's going through...Hehe bechara!!!Pyaar mein phas gaya!!!God you're brilliant....Brilliant, I mean it!!!!Bye Raj....

Raj:And I'm here feeling happy that Bharti might stand a chance to work with me at MU...Now I feel like praying that Bharti shouldn't get to work here...Gosh my stupid heart!!!!Hey there....(walks to a model)..

Jiya was walking outside and thought to herself, "Hhmm let's give Armu a call; I'm pretty much sure that he's so not willing to talk to me right now..Haha.."

Armaan was listening to Payal's show, lying on the sofa. Just then he heard his mobile ring.

Armaan:Hello??

Jiya:Hey dude kaha chala gaya tha???

Armaan:I'm not feeling too well yaar...That's why I headed for home...

Jiya:Interesting.....Lovesick??

Armaan:What??

Jiya:Ermm nothing...Shall I drop by??

Armaan:NO!!

Jiya:Huh..what's wrong with you??And why can't I drop by???

Armaan:Ermm...erm....Well there's no food..so...

Jiya:Duffer Armu...You think I only drop by for food???

Armaan:You always do..

Jiya:Ahem anyways fine..if you don't want me to come..I won't come!!!

Armaan:Ok i'll talk to you later..Bye!!!

Armaan hung up before her and Jiya smiled and took a cab to Armaan's place. She has decided not to leave Armaan so easily.

Jiya:We'll take responsibility for it.....

Armaan:Ok fine then....

Jiya:Yay my best friend is in lurve and I am ever so happy!!!!Wohoo!!!

Sudha:What's going on???

Jiya:Aapke beta finally yeh maan ne ke liye tayaar ho gaya hai ke...

Sudha:Ke??

Jiya:Ke woh pyaar karne laga hai...

Sudha:Pyaar???

Jiya:Of course Sudha aunty....He's deeply in love with someone...

Sudha:Bharti se hain na aur koi nahin hain na??

Jiya:How did you know???

Sudha:Maa ko sab kuch pehle bata hota hai....

Jiya:How can I forget....Well we need to find out what's going on in Bharti's mind first....

Sudha:You mean to say that she's not...??

Jiya:Well we can say it's kinda one-sided love...for sure..But we aren't sure of Bharti's side.....

Sudha:Oh how can I forget...Bharti said she's going to come online right away...She called me while I was on my way home....

Jiya:Oh this is simply great!!!Perfect timing Armu.....Chalo chalo jaldi laptop on karo....

Sudha:She's coming on msn...

Jiya:(thought to herself)This is just perfect God..Aise bohat saara opportunities dete rehna...Agar in dono ko tumne milaa di...I'll be the happiest girl and on top of cloud 18....Please please please meri dost ko madat karna!!!!I lurve you!!!!

Sudha:Kya hua Jiya...

Jiya:Kuch nahin Aunty..I'm just so excited....Armaan,log in!!

Eventually Bharti signed in as well and all of them were really excited to her online and that too on WebCam.Sudha plugged in her cam as well and they were able to see each other.

Bharti:Hi mom....

Jiya:Heyy Armu and I are here too...

Bharti:OMG..hi guyzzz....You guys are at home at this hour....

Jiya:Yeah..Armaan invited me home since you're not around to irritate him.....Haha

Bharti:Haha Jiya....I miss you and Mom so much!!!!

Jiya:Aur Armaan??

Bharti:Nope..not a bit!!!

Jiya:Kyun???

Bharti:Well I am surrounded by beaches everywhere..In fact Alisha's guesthouse faces a beach here...and the beaches kinda remind me of Armaan...so I feel I'm with him right now...So yeah...

Sudha:Arre wah...

Jiya:Bohat fikr karti ho apni Mom ki??

Bharti:Of course Jiya....She's my Mom after all....

Jiya:Awwww so sweet..She misses you a lot...

Armaan:Hey Bharti...Jiya, go and eat..Let me talk to Bharti...

Armaan:Sure send them to my email na??K??

Bharti:Alright..Heyy Rohan's engagement is in 2 days..Do you think you can come???

Armaan:I'm not too sure Bharti....Actually Sunny's new designs and collection has been launched today..It was really awesome....

Bharti:Great..so is that why you can't come??

Armaan:No yaar..I...I have some photo-shoots lined up that's why....

Jiya:(while eating) Heyy Bharti will you come for Holi??Come on it's your first Holi with Armaan...

Bharti:No Jiya..I won't be able to...I've promised Rohan that I'll be here in Goa till April 2nd..Actually after his engagement, me,Alisha,Sanjana,Rohan and Anjali, his gf were thinking of going for some outing..somewhere just to spend our time....He told me that there's a waterfall nearby...So for some sightseeing and all....

Jiya:Uffo and at MU we're having a Holi Party too..I really thought you could come....

Bharti:Sorry guyzz you guyz enjoy yourselves there...I'm not interested...

Armaan:Heyy Bharti are you ok??You sound pretty dull...

Bharti:Actually Armaan I don't celebrate Holi....In fact i've not celebrated for the past 8 years..

Armaan:How come Bharti..It's a festival of colours....I mean...

Bharti:Armaan actually baat yeh hain ki..My first best friend, Radhika passed away on Holi and I usually spend time by myself on that day...So yeah....

Jiya:Heyy we are really sorry about that...Dear...Actually...

Bharti:Hey guyzz just relax..Erm...I've gotta go...Going to meet Rohan's gf at her place...Ok so talk to you guyzz later,k???Aur haan....If you meet Bhaskar and Payal tell them that I really miss them lots and i couldn't get through their mobiles for some reason....Just tell them I'll be back by April 3rd and do ask Bhaskar to email me about my internship status..I've asked him to send my internship forms to MU and MWorld...K???Lurve you guyzzz...Talk to you guyzz later..Lots of love...Bye...

Before Jiya could send a message, Bharti left from there and so did Armaan and he went to the balcony.Jiya logged out of MSN and shut down the laptop and went to talk to Armaan.

Armaan:We don't know so much about bharti,na??

Jiya:Yeah...aur upar se itna sab kuch ho gaya uske saath and all...

Armaan:And I always thought Bhaskar and Payal are her bestest friends.....

Jiya:They are but Radhika is her first best friend....

Armaan:I wonder how it is like to lose a best friend...Radhika must have been so close to her na....Jiya this is why I'm even hesitating....I don't want to lose her...

Jiya:You really love her Armaan na??

Armaan:I don't know...

Jiya:There isn't a "I don't know" in love..It's either Yes or No...

Armaan:She just became so different to me...I mean she's been my firend all these while and all of a sudden she means something else...She's become so close all of a sudden...

Jiya:That's it Armaan...And I'll help you in whatever way I can...Trust me!!

Armaan:Jiya...I'm really scared....

Jiya:In that case just forget about her;how about that???

Armaan:No..!!

Jiya:What a response Armu..See???You can't forget her and you don't even want to tell her your feelings...

Armaan:Oh god this love is really torturous!!!!Payal...she told me if I ever have such thoughts I should inform her...Should I???

Jiya:Not now!!!!Wait first....So you don't want to go for Rohan's engagement??

Armaan:I don't know...I just...

Jiya:Bharti doesn't realize what she's missing and I want her to realize it quickly..That's all Armaan...Come on Armu!!!Maan jao na....Mere liye....Hhmm??

Armaan smiled and hugged Jiya and thanked her for stopping by and making him feel better. He practically wants to go over to Goa and tell Bharti what's happening to him lately.He just wants to hug her and not let her go but her blue face came in her way. He wondered how he could make her happier. There is supposed to be some way out, for if there's a will, there's a way!!!

Jiya came quite late to MU and when she walked, she saw a gathering at the foyer and Sunny pulled her in. Amarjeet had announced Holi party on the 30th March, 2 days later. And together with that, he told Raj and Jiya that their photo-shoot venue had been changed to Goa. Jiya was surprised and looked at Armaan and raised her eyebrows. Raj wanted to protest but Jiya asked him to keep quiet.All of them dispersed and Jiya gestured Raj and Armaan to meet her in her cabin.

Jiya:Heyy guys this is such great news!!!

Raj:No it isn't...

Jiya:Of course it is...

Raj:No yaar...I've actually gotten an important prob to handle...

Jiya:So??

Raj:What do you mean so??

Armaan:What prob??

Raj:Uffo you two..ek minute!!!Actually I've gotten another photo-shoot project..so i can't go for this photo-shoot today...

Armaan:What the hell Raj...Does Amarjeet sir know about it?

Raj:Sshhh...nope!!!I've just gotten an idea...

Armaan:You're scaring me just like how Jiya does whenever shhe has a plan...

Jiya:Oh yes he has a plan...What is it Raj??

Raj:Armaan will go instead of me..He will go with you, Jiya..what say??No one will know a thing..Later on, I'll just inform AJ that I wasn't feeling well and that's why I sent you..

Jiya:I'm cool with that..

Armaan:I'm not going..Raj,work comes first yaar..Do this and you can handle your prob later..

Raj:Oh come on Armaan..Jiya,make him understand yaar...

Armaan:Not a word Jiya..I'm not going to listen to you...

The discussion continued till Armaan received a call. It was an unknown number.

Armaan:Yeah..

Alisha:Hello Armaan??

Armaan:Yeah speaking..

Alisha:Look Bharti actually met with an accident..Do you think you can make it here??

Armaan:Who's this??

Alisha:It's me Alisha, Bharti's friend..She's in a critical condition..(sobbing)

Armaan was shocked and speechless. He didnt know what to say. He just fell on Jiya's chair and closed his eyes, holding the bridge of his nose with his hand.

Armaan:Alisha, tell me the address..I'm coming right away..(takes down the address) Yeah ok listen..please be calm, I'm on my way..Which hospital??Oh ok, alright then I'll be there asap..(hung up) Jiya I'm leaving for Goa..Come with me quick..Raj I'm taking your car keys..

Jiya:Woah..that was so unexpected!!Chal...

Armaan started to drive quite fast. Jiya wondered what made Armaan change his mind all of a sudden. Just then she recalled that Armaan had received a phone call and it must be the sole reason for the change in Armaan's decision. Jiya looked at Armaan who was all so tensed up. She wondered if he's okay.

Meanwhile, all Armaan could think of is Bharti. Alisha told him that Bharti had just gone out to drive for she wanted to spend some time by herself and Rohan had told her to use his car instead.Little did they realize that Bharti had oversped and hit a truck and met with an accidnet and now she's in a critical condition. He practically felt like crying out but he kept strong and continued driving as fast as he could, while silently praying that Bharti gets alright.
