~ArBi FF Jab Lurve Hua~Part 271 pg141 - Page 3

Jiya got Armaan ready while Payal and Bhaskar got Bharti ready.Both of them sat, feeling really awkward. Both of them didn't look at each other but looked towards their best friends for moral support at the step they were going to take together. Bharti felt as if armaan was looking at her and she looked at him and just smiled and looked away. Armaan couldn't believe that he's marrying the girl he had once fallen head over heels with but he just found everything so weird.Before he could even realize, he found himself adorning the mangalsutra on Bharti's neck and placing the sindoor on her forehead. Both of them sought the blessings of the elders and hugged their best friends before departing to Armaan's home.

Sudha had reached home earlier with Jiya and prepared the kalash.Bharti kicked the kalash and Sudha welcomed her home.Sudha introduced Jiya to Bharti and Sudha asked Jiya to talk to Armaan while she and Bharti went to the kitchen.

Bharti:Main aapko kya bulao???

Sudha:Well..

Bharti:Aunty??

Sudha:Aunty??Main tumhe aunty dikh thi hoon kya???

Bharti smiled.

Sudha:Aunty nahin..kuch aur...Waise Armu..

Bharti:Armu??

Sudha:Armaan..Pyaar se usse Armu bulaati hoon...Well he calls me Maa...

Bharti:Main aapko Mom bula sakthi hoon??

Sudha:Mom..great!!!Par isse pehle tumse kuch kehna chahthi hoon....

Bharti:Haan boliye...

Sudha:Yeh formalities sab chodna,theek hai??Yeh aap waap sab chod do..okay???

Sudha extended her hand in front of Bharti.

Bharti:Erm...yeh??

Sudha:Mujhse dosti karoge???

Bharti:Kya??I mean....erm...

Sudha:What??Am I not friendship material???

Bharti:Not that...I mean you want us to be friends??

Sudha:Yeah..kyun nahin???

Bharti:Pehli baar sunn rahi hoon...Ek saas apni bahu se dosti rakhna chahthi hain...

Sudha:Misaal bana denge apni dosti ko..kya kehte ho??

Bharti extended her hand too and both had a warm handshake.

Bharti:Actually ek problem hai...mujhe khaana banana nahi aati..just omlettes,boileld eggs,maggi mee and instant foods...Stuudies par zyaada waqt spend karti hoon aur kabhi kabhi desserts bhi bana thi hoon..Other than that, mujhe kuch aati nahin hain...

Sudha:Tumhe ek raaz ki baat batao???Pehle jab meri shaadi huyi thi main bhi tumhari tarha thi...Kuch nahin aati thi par tumhari kismat toh bohat achi thi..Meri saas toh..kya batao...Har baat ke liye ched the reh thi thi...Bata nahin kaise sambhal diya tha..In fact Armu ki papa ne toh meri bohat madat kiya kar tha tha..He's a great chef by the way and perhaps that's also why Armu is a good chef too....Anyways I'll help you..Waise, tumhari padhaayi???

Bharti:Actually Mom ek saal baakhi hai....After New Year, 2 weeks later, my final year starts. Lots of projects and then a period of internship and after that a heavy semester for a period of 6 months and thesis too...

Sudha:It sounds hectic...Waise you seem to really love what you're studying....

Bharti:Yeah I really do and I just get myself engrossed in it and I believe you too love what you do...Psychology seems interesting...

Sudha:Oh yes I really love it that's why I'm working as one..(winked at Bharti) But if you're not interested in what you do, your life really becomes a struggle, no..More of a torture!!!!

Bharti smiled and both of them had a Hi-5 moment.

Sudha:Well Armaan and I usually go for work at 10 am..How about you??What time is your university classes??

Bharti:Usually it's in the afternoon...from 1 pm till late evening...This weird timing is only for our course..

Sudha:Ok dear, if there's any questions or whatsoever, don't hesitate to ask your new friend!!And no formalities,alright??

Bharti:Yes Mom...Thanks a lot for making me feel so comfy...I've never felt so at ease before..

Sudha:Chale..Armaan must be waiting for you!!

Bharti felt awkward but just nodded in agreement. Jiya just got out of Armaan's room and left for home while Sudha brought Bharti inside and she wished both of them best of luck and went off to sleep.

Armaan locked the door and Bharti opened her ghoonghat and walked towards Armaan.Bharti smiled at Armaan and thanked him for his help for he has no idea how much she is grateful to him but he didn't really care and went from there with an disinterested look.Bharti called him and asked him if he could arrange for a curtain in the middle of the room so that she could get more privacy. Armaan felt damn irritated and went to the washroom to get changed.

Bharti wondered if she had said anything wrong.Just then Armaan came out of the washroom and went outside. Bharti went to the washroom to get changed this time round and by the time she got out, she saw the room being partitioned by Armaan via a white curtain and Armaan turned around.Bharti smiled and thanked him again and told him that she will remove the curtain in the morning but Armaan turned from her and Bharti went to the study desk and placed her laptop on the table and went to set her books on her side of the room. When she was done, she looked to see Armaan having already slept on the other side of the room.Bharti felt that this was not going to be any good and she knew what she was going to do to make things better.She was going to extend her hand to start a friendship with Armaan and then things will seem much more better rather than just staying as a stranger.

The next day when Bharti woke up, she saw the curtain still laid up and she quickly stood up and took off the curtain and folded it before Mom saw it. After Bharti folded the curtain,she smiled at Armaan and wished him Good Morning. Armaan didn't say anything but Bharti went in front of him and stopped him.

Bharti:Ermm actually I was thinking that if we could become friends then things would be easier...So friends???

Armaan:Kya matlab??

Bharti:I mean..if we became friends I would feel much more comfortable than just feel like I'm a guest or a stranger here...

Armaan:That's what you are Bharti..You're just here for 1 year..(looked around if Sudha was hearing them)...And by the way you've already said that you wanted your own space and you'll give me my space...So that's what you've got...Do you need anything else Ms Bharti??

Bharti:Why are you talking to me like this??

Armaan:Then how do you...Oh hi Maa...

Bharti:Good morning Mom..

Sudha:Good morning both of you...Come Bharti...Armaan, sit down and I'll serve you breakfast...

Armaan had his bread toast and he left promptly, without even saying Bye to his mum.Sudha wondered what the problem was. Sudha asked Bharti if anything went wrong last night.

Sudha:How was your special night??

Bharti:Special night???Erm..great!!

Sudha:Pehle din se jooth bol rahe ho mujhse??

Bharti:Mom, I thought I could be friends with Armaan first but he didn't say anything...

Sudha:Uffo toh yeh baat hai huh....Yehi hain uski buri aadat number 1..He doesn't become friends with anyone that easily....Trust me...

Bharti:So how do I become friends with him??

Sudha:Hhmm yeh toh sochne ki baat hai....Par ek baat batao..mere saamne usse bolna padh tha hai...

Bharti:Matlab??

Sudha:Jab bhi woh ya Jiya lad thi thi Jiya ki ek aadat hain..Woh jaanti hain ki Armaan mujhse baat zaroor karega aur iss majboori ka fayda uthaa thi..In fact woh mujhse indirectly sawaal pooch thi thi aur Armaan indirectly baat bhi karta tha..You know...

Bharti:Acha??Yeh bhi try karlenge....Par let me try in my own ways first...If not, Jiya ki option try karenge....

Sudha:All the best..Aur haan yeh ghar ki doosri chaabi hain..Apne paas rakhna,ok??Main chalthi hoon kaam par..You take care aur khaana banani ho toh meri recipe book kitchen drawers mein..Dekh le na aur bana bhi lena, theekh hai???(winked at Bharti) Aur haan all the best for your results...

Bharti:Oh yes, aaj milenge results..Thanks Mom and have a great day!!

Sudha:Lurve you bharti!!(kissed Bharti's forehead and left)

Bharti:Not bad Bharti..Tumhari kismat kaafi achi hai jo tumhe is tarha ki saas bhi mil gayi....(does the "Bhaskar-style" with her hand, caressing her cheek) But seriously what the hell is his problem??Woh mujhse aise kyun baat kar raha tha..Jaise maine uska zindagi barbaad ki ho??Khayr..mujhe kya hai..Meri problem toh solve ho gayi hain na???

Just then Payal called her on her mobile and asked her how she was.

Bharti:Hi Peppy Payal...

Payal:Hello ji Good morning...

Bharti:Good morning..Bhaskar kaisa hain??

Payal:As usual, rockstar jo hain...He's left early for work....But how's life there and your saas and all...

Bharti:You won't believe my luck..She has no problem with me studying and the fact that I don't know how to cook...she's damn friendly yaar and she even extended her hand for friendship with me....Can you believe that???

Payal:Arre wah..yeh toh solid news hain yaar....Not bad at all....

Bharti:In fact it's terrific news!!!Oho time to go for my project meeting yaar....

Payal:Chal I'll talk to you later,k??

Bharti:Aur haan ek minute she even wished me luck for my results...

Payal:Shit..main toh bhool hi gayi..I'll pick you up in the evening,k??

Bharti:Okie dudette....See ya....

Payal:Bye!!

Bharti went to get dressed and went for her project meeting. She wore her classic bright red top and black jeans followed by her jacket and placed her mangalsutra within her bag. She checked herself in the mirror and smiled at herself, feeling great as ever and going about her life as per normal.She took an auto to her university, feeling great about the day.

"Everything is so perfect today..It's a Good morning, Mom is so jovial and understanding..Payal called me in the morning..Yeah today indeed it's a great morning but..But...He had to spoil 5% of my morning by giving me a small pep talk...The great Armaan Sinha...Arrgghh!!!I wonder what his problem is...He made the decision himself and I didn't even compel him to even say Yes to me...God kabhi kabhi tum meri zindagi mein itni saari khushi bharde te hon par choti choti irritation bbhi dhaal dete ho!!"

Just then she realized the autodriver looking at her and she glared at him and shouted at him to watch in front and drive and not listen to what she's saying or else she'll really hit him on his head. The driver looked in front and continued driving.Bharti taunted the driver instead of Armaan now and she reached the university quite late to meet her group mates for their project. All of them congratulated her for her marriage as they finally saw her hidden mangalsutra in her bag.Everyone started teasing her but stopped when their favourite professor came by and asked them to present their findings and discussions on their project.Just then, a student came and told all of them to check the notice board for their results and everyone rushed out after their professor allowed them to and Bharti was the last one to go but her professor stopped her and congratulated her for her marriage and Bharti who looked pretty much tensed instead of happy increased her professor's curiosity and she asked Bharti if everything was alright but Bharti simply smiled and told her that everything is ok and thanked her for her concern and Bharti went to check her results for her third year. Bharti saw a huge crowd and pushed her way towards the notice board. She ran her finger down the list and just then Bhaskar called her on her mobile.

Bharti:Kya hai??

Bhaskar:Itna gussa kyun??

Bharti:Arre ek minute ke liye chup raho..Results list dekh rahi hoon...

Bhaskar:Wah Bhaskar perfect timing!!Haan haan tu dekh...I'm waiting!!

Bharti:Bharti...Bharti..Bharti...Arre meri naam iss list mein kaha hain??

Just then a girl told her that her name isn't in the list.Bharti was totally shocked for she was very confident that she did well for her papers.

Bhaskar:Hello....oye Bharti!!

Bharti:Huh..kya hain??

Bhaskar:Kya hua yaar??

Bharti:List mein mera naam nahi hai...Ab kya hoga??

Bhaskar:Arre yaar koi mistake hoga..Phir se dekh!!

Bharti:Duffer..main pichle paanch minute se dekh rahi hoon aur tum keh rahe ho koi mistake ho saktha hai....

Bhaskar:Ok ok chill!!!Princi se jaa kar milo aur pooch lo ek baar....

Bharti:You're right..Just a second, ek announcement hai...mujhe Princi khud bulaa raha hain....Just hold,k??Busy nahin hona??

Bhaskar:Nope,I'll hold....

Bharti quickly went to the principal's office. She wondered why he had called her up. He looked pretty grim and Bharti was waiting for him to tell her what he had called her for but seeing him not moving his mouth at all, Bharti decided to ask him about the examination list and why her name isn't in the list when she was pretty confident that she did well.The principal waited for her to stop talking and Bhaskar, meanwhile was asking her to stop talking too and Bharti stopped when the principal passed her an envelope. It was her results and she had topped her class.Bharti was feeling on top of the world and informed Bhaskar of the great news and he screamed in delight.Bharti was jumping with joy in the principal's office and when she realized she just thanked him and quickly left from there and was still talking to Bhaskar.

Bhaskar:Wow awesome news yaar....

Bharti:Yeah Bhaskar..I'm so happy yaar...Topper..Class ki topper...this is really awesome yaar!!!!

Bhaskar:Yeh huyi na baat...Main jaanti thi yaar...This really calls for a celebration!!

Bharti:Yaar...Bhaskar, sach much today is just awesome dude!!!!

Bhaskar:You're the Diva after all..the all-rounder diva!!!Kudos to you gurl...Theekh hai...you have your lecture now??

Bharti:Yeah..I'll talk to you later..Bye...

Bhaskar:Bye hunni...

Bharti:Aur haan...Payal ko bata dena...Bye..

Bharti hung up and quickly dialled Sudha's mobile number and tried calling her but she didn't pick up and hence Bharti left a text message of her results news and went for her lecture.

Bharti met up with Payal at 6 pm after her lectures and Payal dropped Bharti home after having a mini celebration with chocolate eclairs and Payal's gift which was a soft pink bracelet with Bharti's name spelt out. When Bharti reached home, Sudha opened the door and hugged her,congratulating her for her results. Armaan just returned home when both Bharti and Sudha were having dinner and Sudha asked him to join them and Armaan just nodded. When Armaan came out after changing, Bharti indirectly told Sudha,"Mom, meri waje se koi apna khaana kyun chod de..Is liye main kamre mein hoon....Great dinner Mom!!".

Several days went by and Bharti was trying to focus on her work but everytime she did so,Armaan kept coming in her head.She didn't know what his problem was and why he was showing her so much of attitude and kept taunting her indirectly.Bharti realized that she can't even focus until she solved this irritating problem. She got fed up and shut down her laptop and went to the dinner table and sat down with Mom.

Sudha was surprised at her and wondered what Bharti is about to do.

Bharti:Mom humein..(looks at Armaan) humein doosre ke dil ki baat kaise jaan sakthe hain??

Sudha:Kyun???(realizes that Bharti wanted to know what was going on in Armaan's head)Kiske mann ki baat jaan ni hai tumhe??

Bharti:Nahin Mom...Oh hi Armaan...(kept looking at him)

Armaan:Hi...

Sudha and Bharti were amazed and Sudha asked Bharti to continue.

Bharti:How are you???

Armaan:Fine...

Bharti:Mom, aaj seriously dinner bohat achi hain na??Right Armaan???

Armaan:Yeah Maa dinner is great...

Sudha:Thanks but dinner toh Bharti ne banaya tha...

Armaan:Oh..

Sudha:Oh ke bache...Usse compliment do..Come on...

Armaan:Great dinner Bharti...

Bharti gave a fake smile and Armaan did too but both of their smiles quickly faded.

Bharti:Thanks Armaan..waise Mom...

Sudha:I'll get the phone..Tum dono baatein karo....

Armaan and Bharti looked at each other.Bharti talked to him in a low tone.

Bharti:Look Armaan I'm really irritated...You better tell me what's going on in your head and why are you behaving like that towards me???Did I even compel you into this marriage...Tum toh aise behave kar rahe ho jaise maine tumhe zabardasti se yeh shaadi ke liye haan ehne ke liye kaha tha...

Armaan:Look..tum...

Bharti:Armaan jab baat zubaan par aahi gaya hai toh just spill it out...

Armaan:Fine Bharti..Toh suno...

Armaan narrated how he got humiliated because of her 6 years back when he got ragged at Excel College.

Bharti:Tum Excel college mein padh the the??Waise tumhari memory toh laajawaab hai!!6 years puraani baat bhi yaad hai tumhe...

Armaan:Yaha main itni serious baat kar raha hoon aur tum...Just forget it!!!

Bharti:Armaan dekho tum mujhe galat samajh rahe ho..In fact I don't think....

Armaan:Do you recall this guy???(shows Bharti the pic of his at Excel College)

Bharti:Oh yes..Yeh tum thi???

Armaan:Haan....

Bharti:Ok Armaan look....I've nothing against you yaar so why would I even rag you???I never hurt anyone without any reason...Alright???Ok tum mujhe yeh batao ki tumhari ragging exactly kis waqt huwa tha...I mean kab???

Armaan:About May or June...

Bharti:If that's the case and if I'm not wrong, then I was definitely not in college for I had gone to Goa with Bhaskar and Payal for about 3 weeks or so and I think I'm right for my admission was almost not allowed when I came back for I missed classes worth 3 weeks, thanks to Bhaskar and I really fumed at him. And I don't think I saw you after...

Armaan:I really don't care Bharti....And perhaps i met you after all these years just to take a small revenge on you and that's it....

Bharti:What???Aha....so that's why you even said Yes to the condition after all??

Armaan:Yeah..happy???I can never forgive you for the 3 weeks of humiliation that I had to suffer because of you!!!!!

Bharti:Par....Arre!!!(but armaan had already left from there)Arre maine kya kiya tha???Uffo...ab yeh kya nayi musibat hai!!!!

Just then Sudha came after attending the call.Sudha saw Bharti real tensed and asked her what's up.

Sudha:Baat ho gayi Armaan se???

Bharti:Nahin Mom....

Sudha:Still not friends yet??

Bharti shook her head.

Sudha:Meri madat ki zaroorat hai???

Bharti:Not now Mom. I think I have a solution but if it doesn't work, I'll take your help...

Sudha:(smiled) Sure hunni...Ahh yes tomorrow is Jiya's birthday and she's the one who had called. She invited you for her birthday party at her place tomorrow. Maybe things can work out tomorrow..

Bharti:Cool..thanks Mom..Good night!!

Sudha:Good night!!

Bharti went inside her room and she saw Armaan pretending to read a magazine and when Bharti called out to him Armaan just turned away from her and switched off the table lamp.Out of frustration,Bharti just let out a great shriek and Armaan, out of anger switched off the lights of the room, leaving Bharti in total darkness. Bharti kept fidgeting under her breath and looked around for a candle but couldn't and Bharti ended up taunting Armaan and waking him up and not letting him sleep.

Armaan:What the hell do you want Bharti??

Bharti:Lights please!!!

Armaan:I need to sleep

Bharti:I want to study Armaan and i've got a project to work on!!

Armaan:I don't care....

Bharti:Armaan yeh kya bachpana hai???

Armaan:Jo bhi ho....I can't sleep with lights on and I am really sleepy right now so will you please...

Bharti:Armaan this is it!!!Did anyone tell you that you are really annoying??And you have no manners???

Armaan:Like I care Bharti..Agar tumhe padhaayi karne ki itni hi shok hai toh balcony hai..jaa kar waha padhaayi kar lena..

Bharti:Arrgghhh...You are just so impossible!!!!

Bharti felt super pissed with Armaan and took her handbook and left from there to the balcony to do some reading under the dim,flickering lights.She didn't even realize when she had slept for the next day, Sudha was looking for Bharti and she found her sleeping on the floor with her book on her face and pens scattered on the floor.

Sudha realized that there was definitely something wrong and she needed to talk to Bharti about it.She woke Bharti up and Bharti felt a sharp pain around her neck. Sudha helped massage her neck a little and talked to her.

Sudha:What happened??Tum yaha pe??

Bharti:Oh actually Mom I didn't know that Armaan can't sleep with lights on and I had some really important stuff to do and prepare for today's lecture so I came here to get my work done...

Sudha:Uffo Bharti you should have called me instead...And by the way how come I didn't know that Armaan can't sleep with lights on???

Bharti:What??You mean....

Sudha:Arre Bharti when he was young, his dad, me and himself used to be sleeping together and I always have a habit of reading till late at night and obviously I needed the lights and he can definitely sleep with lights on...

Bharti:So why did he???Hhmm....

Sudha:Main baat karu usse??

Bharti:No Mom, I think I know how to handle this....And i'll make sure that I'll solve this problem by today itself!!!

Sudha:You sure??

Bharti:Yea pretty much...Let me get ready..Today I might have to go earlier to meet my project mates...

Sudha:Kab submit karni hai tumhari yeh project??

Bharti:By the start of next week,that's like 3 days later...

Sudha:Hhmm ok I'll get breakfast ready!!

Armaan wished his mum Good Morning but Sudha didn't reply. Just then Bharti came,with her bag and ready to have breakfast.Sudha wished Good morning to Bharti and Armaan got irritated.Armaan was about to go without having his breakfast but Sudha held his hand and chided him and told him not to show his anger on the food and eat quietly before leaving for work.Bharti got amused that Armaan's like a sweet,quiet,little boy when it is the word of his mum. Bharti had her breakfast and saw Armaan looking at her and she looked away and Armaan too looked away. Bharti saw the time and quickly left, kissing Sudha's forehead and Sudha smiled, wishing her a great day and Sudha saw Armaan watching her.Sudha realized that Armaan was getting irritated with the closeness between her and her daughter-in-law and Sudha ignored that look on his face and went to look at her files instead.Armaan finished eating and bid goodbye to Sudha and Sudha just said Bye without even looking at him and after he left, Sudha smiled and talked to herself, "Armu this will be my style to you till you don't become friends with Bharti..Dekh thi hoon kab tak aise bartaav karoge.."!!

Bharti was discussing her work with her group mates after her lecture.Just then, she received a call from Payal. Bharti excused herself and went to a corner.

Bharti:Hey Payal..

Payal:Hello jaan..how are you doing???

Bharti:Ok..hey tum free ho??

Payal:In fact I'm at your university cafe..

Bharti:Oh cool turn to your right, you'll see a staircase and climb that and come up to Level 3...

Payal:Oh ok you're at the Samtas Hall??

Bharti:Yeah discussing the project with Sanjana and the rest...

Payal:So are you done with the discussion???

Bharti:Almost..just about 15 minutes....

Just then Payal reached the Samtas Hall and Payal asked Bharti to turn around.Bharti gestured her to wait for about 15 minutes and Payal smiled and agreed.

Bharti quickly wrapped up and distributed the final work which all of them had to prepare before the final day and Bharti asked Payal to accompany her to get something sweet for Jiya for it's her birthday today. Both of them were browsing through some gift shops and while looking for the gift,Bharti told him of how Armaan was being so childish last night and she told Payal of Armaan's real intention behind accepting her condition and how he got ragged. Payal was totally shocked and she recalled their Goa trip which was supposed to be only for 3 days but got extended for 3 weeks by herself and Bhaskar, almost leading Bharti into trouble.

Bharti told Payal of her plan to talk to Armaan at any cost at Jiya's birthday party and Bharti smiled and promised Payal that she will solve this problem at any cost for it's been affecting her concentration and focus. Payal smiled and off they went to Jiya's party after getting a cute jacket and a birthday card and wrapped the gift.By the time Bharti and Payal reached Jiya's home, the party had already started and Bharti and Payal were on the lookout for both Jiya and Armaan. Jiya caught them and Bharti introduced Payal to Jiya and both Payal and Bharti gave her the gift which they had bought for her. Jiya gladly accepted it with a great smile on her face and welcomed them. Bharti asked Jiya if she had seen Armaan anywhere.Jiya showed them where Armaan was standing.

Bharti:Hi Armaan

Armaan:Tum yaha??

Bharti:Kyun??Main yaha nahin aa sakthi??

Armaan:Tum yaha pe kya kar rahi ho??

Bharti:Bhai saab(looks to a guy) Aap yaha pe kya kar rahe hain??

Guy: Party hai..enjoy kar raha hoon...

Bharti:Great..Aap jaayiye...Jawab mil gaya Armaan???

Armaan rolled his eyes and turned to go but Bharti and Payal went in front of him.

Bharti:Armaan please...I'm sorry tumhari woh..ragging huyi thi aur woh bhi 6 saal pehle...Indirectly meri waje se hua hain so I'm sorry...

Armaan:Main tumhe kabhi maaf nahin karunga...

Bharti:Please...Ek mauka toh do.....Meri dost hamesha kehte hain ki main unhe kabhi niraash nahin karti....

Armaan really got pissed off and asked the DJ to stop the music in the background and shouted at Bharti.

Armaan:Tum mujhse dosti karna chahthe ho???Theekh hai...Pehle prove karo..Ki tum dosti ke bhi layak ho

Payal got agitated but Bharti stopped her from interfering.

Bharti:And how do I do that???

Armaan:Interesting....Theekh hai...Meri challenge ko accept karo!!

Bharti:Challenge..Interesting Armaan...Maine toh kabhi challenges turn down nahin ki hain..Mujhe tumhari challenge manzoor hai

Armaan:Arre..Itni bhi jaldi kya hai Bharti???Challenge toh suno....

Bharti:Sunao Mr Armaan...

Just then Jiya returned after attending the phone call from her dad. She was surprised to not hear music in the background and she saw that Bharti and Armaan were in the middle of something and it looked like a major confrontation to her. She went to Armaan and before she could open her mouth, Armaan glared at her and gestured her to keep quiet.

Armaan:Great..In front of all these guests, I challenge you...

Jiya:Armaan what's all this??

Bharti:Let Armaan speak, Jiya...

Payal:Bharti, let's go..You don't have to prove yourself in front of anyone...

Armaan smirked at Bharti.

Armaan:Darr gaye Bharti...

Payal:Bharti,no!!!No, Bharti!!!

Bharti:Chill Payal...Main kisi se nahin darr tha alright???Bring it on Armaan...What are you challenging me to do???

Armaan:I challenge you to shave your head bald and go through the same experience I had to go through 6 years back...

Bharti almost opened her mouth wide in shock but she couldn't stop being amused by what Armaan had just said.However Payal and Jiya were equally shocked. Just then the DJ had played the song, "Dancing Jodi" in the background. Armaan and Bharti were staring at each other. Armaan leaned real close to her and whispered to her,"Kya hua Bharti???Main jaanti thi ki tum yeh sab nahin kar paoge!!"

Bharti:Excuse me..

Armaan:(moved away and talked loudly)What Bharti??Tum toh diva ho na....Diva ke status affect nahin hoga???You can't even think about shaving your head bald, do you???If you can't, you shouldn't have done anything of the sort to me or any of the other students...

Payal:Look Armaan you have no right to say anything about Bharti, alright???

Bharti:Payal rukho....Mr Armaan Sinha I repeat myself again..I have never backed out from any challenge and never will...Wait for me tonight...You'll get to know who the real Bharti is!!!!Chalo Payal....

Jiya:Wait Bharti..I'm...

Bharti:No Jiya...I'm sorry for ruining your special day...Bye....Happy birthday once again!!!Chalo Payal!!

Payal:Hello ...Tum kar kya rahe ho??Uske kehne par...

Bharti:Ritz ka number batao mujhe...Aur mujhe uski saloon ke paas le chalo...

Payal:Hello tumhe meri awaaz sunaayi de rahe hain ki nahin???

Bharti:Chaloge ya main akeli chali jao???

Payal:Uffo Bharti....

Bharti started Payal's car and waited for her to get in. Payal just felt damn irritated and eventually gave in to Bharti.

Meanwhile Jiya was hell shocked with Armaan's behaviour and she dragged him aside.
