The next day, Jiya was waiting for Raj to appear at Men's Universe. He was as usual pretty late and when he arrived, he quickly went to the foyer where Amarjeet and the rest have gathered and he was very excited for the awesome newsletter layout and congratulated the newsletter team for their hardwork and by the end of the week, they'll get to know the statistical reports, requesting all the staff to pray for it to be a success. Raj waved to Jiya but Jiya took his arm by force and dragged him to the studio, after everyone dispersed from the meeting.
Jiya:Who the hell do you think you are??
Raj:What happened to you??
Jiya:I'm talking about your call to Bharti yesterday..
Raj:Aren't you happy??
Jiya:You expect me to be happy for complicating matters??Why do you have to say that Preity loves Armaan??
Raj:Heyy I didn't say that Armaan loves Preity, right??Look I thought you would understand me but..
Jiya:Come again...
Raj:Look Bharti doesn't realize Armaan's love for her and I don't think she realizes her own feelings either..I was jsut hoping that Armaan's and Bharti's friendship doesn't get affected in any way and that too because of me..And you're saying that I'm complicating things??
Jiya:Arre pehle bata dena chahiye than na...Awww Raj...I'm really sorry yaar..Sorry!!
Raj:Haan haan chal it's ok...But think twice before you think of accusing me of complicating things between Armaan and Bharti ever again,k??
Jiya:Ok I promise..Don't worry..I'll not repeat it again!!
Raj:That's much better!!
Armaan entered the studio, getting ready for the fashion shoot and Sunny and Preity tagged along with the models. After the fashion shoot, Preity invited them to her house for her birthday bash celebrations held the enxt day and she went to invite everyone else at Men's Universe including Bharti and Preity told her that there will be a surprise for her and she definitely has got to be present. Bharti was feeling quite confused for she doesn't even know if she's going to the party in the first place and she wondered why there is a surprise for her when the birthday girl is Preity.
The next day, Armaan finished his work earlier and he went to meet Bharti and thought of going off with her but Bharti was still working on the upcoming newsletter articles to be written and she asked Armaan to head off first. e left with Jiya while Bharti met Raj and Mahi along the way and the three of them headed together to Preity's place in Raj's car.
Armaan was waiting for Bharti to appear. Preity was attending to her guests and mingling with them and at the same time she was watching Armaan closely. She realized that Armaan was eagerly anticipating someone and she felt quite bad about it for she just wanted Armaan to notice her. However Armaan wasn't even looking at her and he didn't even come forward to talk to her and she began to realize the truth in Vinita's words that Armaan has changed ever since she had left for Mauritius for the international photo-shoot project.
Vinita:Have you noticed what Armaan's looking out for??
Preity:What??
Vinita:He's eagerly waiting for his best friend..
Preity:Jiya is here...Raj is on his way...
Vinita:I'm talking about his new best friend...
Preity:New best friend??
Vinita:Yea..Bharti...don't you know her??
Preity:Bharti??What are you saying??
Vinita:They are best friends...And Armaan shares everything with her and he must be waiting for her...Why don't you ask him???
Preity just left from there to talk to Armaan.
Preity:Hey Armaan..How do I look???
Armaan:As always...nice...
Preity:You're saying it without even looking at me...
Armaan:Oh erm you look great Preity...
Preity:Waise come I'm going to cut the cake...
Armaan:You head off first..I'll come later...
Preity:Come on Armaan...(takes his hand)
Armaan:Erm Preity...Has everyone come??
Preity:Yea everyone has...Come na...
Preity pulled Armaan to the huge table in the middle of the hall in her home and everyone gathered around them.Just then Mahi,Raj and Bharti entered. Armaan saw Bharti and waved to her but Bharti was chatting with Mahi and looking for Preity instead.Preity saw the smile on Armaan's face and she realized the cause of his smile was none other than Bharti and Vinita was so right. Preity went forward to see Bharti who wished and together with Raj and Mahi, she gifted Preity a wrapped gift and Preity welcomed Bharti.Preity came to her with a glass of soft drink and spilled it on Bharti's dress. Raj and Jiya were watching her and they very well knew that Preity did it on purpose and Bharti was quite irritated for it was her favourite purple haulter-neck dress gifted to her by Radhika but Bharti kept calm and excused herself to the washroom.
Bharti was practically fuming from within for she realized that Preity was angry at her for some reason but she couldn't understand what the matter was with her. Just then a voice called out to her as she tried to wipe the stain from her dress.
KK:Bharti..how are you doing??
Bharti:KK..what the hell are you doing in the washroom???
KK:The stain will not go off so easily
Bharti:I do know that but at least I'm trying to wipe it away with water so that..
KK:You do realize who's deliberately doing this to you??
Bharti:Preity..but it's a strange thing for I don't even know her well...She invited me and all of a sudden she just spilled the cold drink on me..What the hell...
KK:Don't you find anything strange for her behaviour???
Bharti:What do you think I'm trying to tell you KK??
KK:(smiled widely) There's a crucial reason behind her hating you....And the reason is present in her house....
Bharti:What are you trying to say???
KK:Just close your eyes and think about it...You'll know the reason....
KK disappeared in an instant.
Bharti kept calling for KK but she knew that he's not going to appear again in front of her so soon. She tried his tactic and closed her eyes.She didn't know why she kept seeing Armaan in her mind and promptly opened her eyes and went outside. She kept fidgeting to herself and she looked for Armaan.Just then she saw everyone applauding and wishing Preity and Preity had already cut the cake and she gave her first piece of cake to Armaan. Armaan at the same time fed Preity and Bharti was standing at the back and just looked around. Just then Jiya and Raj came from the back and scared her.
Jiya:Boo!!(smiled at Bharti)
Bharti:You guyzz....
Raj:What are you doing here all alone???
Bharti:Nothing really..just got out from the washroom...
Jiya:Oh my..the stain hasn't gone....This Preity....Sometimes I just feel like strangling her at times....
Bharti:What are you angry for,Jiya???
Raj:Well apparently she's still angry at Jiya for stealing our photo-shoot project from us....
Bharti:Why are you mad at her for??Seriously if it were me I would have done something before she left for Mauritius....You guyzz just left her without doing anything....I'm just fuming for this is my favourite dress and she had to ruin it...I just wish I could ruin her day today somehow...
Raj:Interesting....And...
Jiya:And why don't we do it??
Bharti:Guyzz just chill...I'm just crapping....
Jiya:No..we'll do it...What say??
Bharti:And what exactly are we going to do???
Raj:Woh sab hum dono par chod do....(winks at Jiya)
Raj and Jiya got some plates of desserts and invited Bharti to get some glasses of cold drinks and called for Preity. Preity came with a great smile and talked to Preity and both Raj and Jiya deliberately threw the puddings and desserts on her dress and Bharti poured the four glasses of cold drinks on Preity's hair.
Raj:Now this is what I call...
Jiya:Perfect
Bharti:Spotlight for a birthday girl like you....Enjoy!!!(winked at Preity)
Preity was really pissed at Bharti and glared at her before she ran up to get changed while Raj,Jiya andBharti had a Hi-5 moment and couldn't stop laughing.
Bharti:How do you feel now???
Raj:So much better...
Jiya:Perfect..In fact I've always wanted to do it but I couldn't get the opportunity to do it....
Bharti:Jiya..opportunities need to be created...Waise bhi...She stole your project on a very important day of your's and we did it on her special day..(winked at them)
Raj:Exactly!!!!
Just then Armaan came to Bharti and Jiya told Armaan what they did and Armaan was quite frustrated but bursted out laughing for he felt that everything was finally falling in place.And nothing could break them apart.
Just then, Preity came in another dress and made an announcement to all and proclaimed in front of everyone and confessed her feelings to Armaan. She happily shouted "I love you Armaan" in front of all and everyone started applauding especially Vinita and Gyaan.Armaan was shocked and Bharti was shocked as well but she didn't know why she was shocked for Raj had already told her about Preity being in love with Armaan.Bharti turned to look at Armaan who was quiet and looking at Preity. Bharti wondered if Armaan too was falling for Preity and she turned away from him and turned to go to the washroom and excused herself.
Bharti thought to herself..
What just happened to me??I mean..Raj had already told me that Preity loves Armaan but why was the news shocking??Mujhe kya agar Armaan bhi usse karte hai toh??Mujhe kya hai...(sounded depressed)Waise bhi main kya expect kar rahi hoon...Ki woh na kahe ga..lekin kyun??In fact I should be really happy for Armaan if he loves her..I am happy for him!!!
KK:Acha??Tum khush ho??
Bharti:KK??How come you came so quickly???
KK:Kyun??
Bharti:No I thought I'll miss you first and then you'll appear....But this was indeed surprising...
KK:So you don't feel bad at all??
Bharti:About??
KK:About the fact that Preity loves Armaan??
Bharti:Why should I feel bad about it??
KK:How am I supposed to know???But the looks on your face state something else by the way...
Bharti:And what does it state to you??
KK:That you totally don't like the way Preity just confessed her feelings for Armaan...
Bharti:Oh hello...What makes you think so???
KK:Well the way you are craving to hear Armaan's reply
Bharti:I'm so not....
KK:Trust me you'll feel really bad to hear what Armaan's got to say...
Bharti:No I won't...
KK:Yes you will...(smiled widely at her)
Bharti turned away and closed her eyes in irritation and when she opened her eyes she was about to call for KK but as usual KK disappeared in an instant.
Bharti went outside and stood near Jiya and Raj and Armaan looked at Bharti and turned away and told Preity that he loves her too. Jiya was flabbergasted but Raj was slightly pissed off. As both Jiya and Raj turned to look at Bharti, they were quite surprised to see that Bharti wasn't too happy either. Bharti excused herself and went to congratulate Armaan and Preity and asked for forgiveness from Preity for playing a prank on her jsut now. Mahi and Sonali went to talk to Bharti and she excused herself. Raj didn't understand what the heavens was happening and he was feeling quite suffocated and he just left without even saying anything. Jiya turned to lok for Raj but he was already gone and she quickly went out to look for Raj and saw him leaving in his car and asked him to wait for her.
Bharti was having a soft drink and Armaan went to her and asked if they could leave. Bharti was surprised but asked him to go and spend time with Preity but Armaan refused and they too left from there.
Armaan and Bharti were walking back home together.They were pretty much silent throughout the entire journey. After some time, Bharti broke the silence.
Bharti:Hey congratzz..I mean it was such a shocking surprise for me...
Armaan:For me too..I mean I didn't know what just...
Bharti:Wow by the way sorry for that prank played by me on your gf...
Armaan:Bharti, come on...just chill...Anyways she's cool with it...
Bharti:(thought to herself)Oh goodness...Why am I feeling so terrible right now...And why the hell am I even thinking of what to say next??This has never happened to me before...I always have got a lot to say to Armaan...
Armaan:Waise you aren't feeling awkward or anything about this,right??
Bharti:Actually I am..No i'm not...I mean does she know about our contract marriage??
Armaan:No she doesn't neither does anyone else except our friends...
Bharti:So how is this going to go Armaan??
Armaan:I've got no idea...
Bharti:Do you want to nullify this relation??I mean...
Armaan:No Bharti..Nothing of the sort even entered my mind at all...In fact I just wished that...
Bharti:That??
Armaan:You're comfortable with this...
Bharti:Armaan you don't worry at all yaar..In fact I'm really very very happy for you yaar....You're in love...Isn't that great???
Armaan:Yeah I'm in love...I just can't believe it too...Bharti can I get a hug???
Bharti:What the hell Armaan..You're asking for it??Just hug me...
Armaan and Bharti hugged each other,lost in each other's arms.
Armaan:(thought to himself) Bharti, I just wish you could understand me..I'm doing all this just to get away from you..I'll have to do this for if I don't I may not be able to hide my feelings for you..And I can't afford to lose our friendship at any cost!!!
Bharti:(thought to herself)Why do I feel as if I'm not happy...I'm supposed to be happy for Armaan..I am..I am happy for you Armaan..You're in love..That's like such a great news but why am I forcing myself to be happy???KK was right..I'm really feeling terrible but WHY????
Both of them broke off from their hug after some time and felt quite awkward looking at each other and turned to look away.
Armaan:Chale Bharti??
Bharti:Come...
Meanwhile Raj was driving real fast and Jiya was in her thoughts and as she realized the speed at which Raj was driving, she asked him to slow down.
Raj:Why should I slow down??
Jiya:Look..there's no point in getting angry or venting your anger on your car...
Raj:Do you know you're such an idiot??
Jiya:Excuse me??
Raj:Just shut up, will you???Do you know what's wrong with you???
Jiya:Why are you getting angry at me for??
Raj:Aur nahin to kya karu??Armaan sirf aur sirf Bharti se pyaar karta hain??Yeah right aur uss Armaan ne hum sab ke saamne kaha tha ki woh Preity se pyaar...Arrgghh!!!!
Jiya:Hey dude Armaan toh...
Raj:Don't even think of defending him in front of me ever again, alright??
Jiya:Heyy..maybe...
Raj:Look I don't know and I don't even want to know...
Jiya:Raj,stop the car..
Raj:You have no idea how damn irritated I was feeling....
Jiya:Will you please stop the car???
Raj stopped the car.
Raj:Just where do you think you are going??(got out of the car to see Jiya leaving) I'm not done with you!!!
Jiya:What do you want???
Raj:For goodness sake Jiya..get alive!!Things are not as easy as it may seem in movies,alright???6 din ladki in and all that crap..It must sound funny but it's not practical....And Armaan may love Bharti but it's not necessary that Bharti too has to love Armaan back..And now what am I hearing..Armaan loves Preity..Great..Just perfect!!!Is this what true love is???
Jiya:What do you expect me to say now???Even I am as equally shocked and angry as you...But I don't think Armaan loves Preity....He might...
Raj:Nowadays you can't even trust anyone and you're talking of true love??
Jiya:Look I know Armaan as well as I know you....I know he loves Bharti dearly and perhaps he did this for her....
Raj:What???
Jiya:Come on Raj..Please...I know things are much more complicated in life and it's not a slice of cake..But I still have hope that Armaan still loves Bharti..
Raj:I don't believe this Jiya...
Jiya:Please Raj...just trust me..I know him very well and it's his first love and no matter what you may say, it's true that Armaan still loves Bharti and perhaps he doesn't want to lose her, her friendship and that's why he may have done this...Please maan jaao na!!
Raj:I don't believe this...How crappy can you get???And next you'll tell me that he's doing this to try and forget her...
Jiya:Maybe you're right..Already he has almost lost her friendship and we've seen how this had adversely affected him..Perhaps he's doing this to forget her but we've got to do something before things get out of hand....
Raj:Don't you get it Jiya that we are butting in their lives???
Jiya:What??
Raj:Just imagine for one day i find you awesomely beautiful...
Jiya:Hello excuse me???
Raj:It's a scenario....Please!!!
Jiya:Fine fine!!!Aage bolo...
Raj:As I was saying....Just imagine if we were in Armaan's and Bharti's shoes and one day they find out that we are trying to get them together, just imagine how awful they'll feel..think from Bharti's angle....Look there is a natural flow of events in life and some things can't be controlled...And if Bharti is written in Armaan's destiny, then she'll be in his destiny...
Jiya:Raj you're right..I understand but we can't stop trying to bring them together,na???I mean we're clinging to the great hope that Bharti is Armaan's destiny...
Raj:But does it mean that Armaan is Bharti's destiny???Not necessary Jiya...
Jiya:Uffo can you please encourage me???Be by my side yaar!!!!
Raj:I'm just trying to get you to think of the possible outcome...Even i wish for them to be together...but what if...
Jiya:Just eliminate the what ifs.....Come on yaar...I understand what you're trying to say but please meri saat toh do..
Raj:(sighs) I'm always there with you...for Armaan and Bharti...I can just hope that whatever you say will work..
Jiya:It will, 100%....Awww Raj you're the sweetest!!!!
Jiya hugged Raj and he couldn't help but smile at how silly Jiya can get at times just to make him agree to her demands.
Jiya:Ab khade khade kya kar rahe ho???Drop me home!!!
Raj:Arre ruk...(smiled at her and went to drive Jiya home)
Meanwhile Preity was pretty excited but really surprised for she recalled her conversation with Armaan who simply told her that they can only be friends but now he too has told her that he loves her too. Preity was very much elated but she saw Bharti's shocked expressions and wondered what's with Bharti and Armaan and she wished to find out about her real soon.
~Jab Lurve Hua Part 50~
Over the next two weeks, Bharti was simply not herself and one could say that she was having some kind of mood swings. Whatever she's been trying to do didn't seem to work out. Even friends didn't have much time for her for everyone got real busy including Payal, Bhaskar and even Armaan too seemed busy for her and had been spending more time with Preity and Jiya at Men's Universe. She felt all by herself.
After her work has been completed, Bharti just switched on her laptop and just opened a new Microsoft Word document.She missed those times when she had actively wrote blogs. She had an active blog which she had started with Bhaskar, Payal and Radhika but due to the hectic university schedules, she had lost touch with it and even forgotten her password. Bharti just thought of getting started on writing journal entries. Writing has always been part of her life, something which Bhaskar finds so boring and she just loves how she loses track of time just by getting so engrossed in her writing.
She wondered what to type.She decided to try her tactic of closing her eyes to think of one word that came to her mind right away. She closed her eyes but she promptly opened her eyes back for she couldn't believe the thoughts in her mind revolving around one name, ~Armaan~.
She started to write.
"Great...ab mujhe Armaan yaad aa rahi hain...Actually,it's so weird that everyone is so busy nowadays except for me..Well I know I'm working but nowadays I finish my work so quickly and end up getting bored. And when I think of calling my friends out..Well most of them are attached so it can seem that they wish to spend more time either with their loved ones or get so engrossed in work....I hate to go shopping or to the movies alone...Hhmm...ok seriously I've really lost touch with blogging....Uffo i'm sounding so crap....
Coming back to Armaan...Why the heavens did I just think about him...Actually it's the 30th April and 4 months since I've gotten married to him.Contract marriage..It's really weird that I am married to Armaan..I wonder if there was any guy else who would have consented to contract marriage so easily..Anyways even this guy too has no time for me for apparently he must be busy with Preity...I seriously wonder what he sees in her..Lollz no offence Armaan but yeah I thought you could get a much much better girlfriend than her..but heyy you seem very happy with her so I've got no regrets...Just want Armaan to keep smiling all his life..His smile is really gorgeous and so are his eyes...
I don't know why I often crave to look into those deep-set eyes...I have never ever noticed any guy's eyes before and Armaan's would be the first one as far as I remember...There is something definitely about those eyes...Anyways even Preity snatched those eyes from me..Lollz what a thought...She's truly lucky to get a guy like Armaan....
8 months left to nullifying my marriage with him...Can't believe time is just flying so quickly....Yesterday it was quite strange that I couldn't get sleep as much as I usually do...And all because of some well-wisher's thinking and sayings that I am going to fall in love with some guy...Falling in love is simply pulling yourself in your own grave and I don't wish to fall into that trap but I am feeling scared that I might..
I've always known that guys hate the tendency to ask even if they're lost in thier way...And my well-wisher tells me that I'm going to get my soulmate...It's just so ironical..But sometimes deep down I just feel like believing in those words, hoping that somewhere someone is made for me too...Thinking of a soulmate, it reminds me of whatever I've told Payal during our dinner with Bhaskar and Armaan..Although I thought whatever i said was crappy, but I do desire for someone who'll accept me just the way I am and love me unconditionally in all circumstances..I know I am just crazy for I don't think any such guy exists in real life for everyone has a grey shade to their personality..
And I do not wish to write what I'm thinking right now...Goodness I'm feeling so lonely and desperate for a second...As if I need someone with me right now,someone to love me and make me feel special...Right here,right now!!!"
Bharti saved her journal and titled it Confused Soul.
Just then Armaan popped by to see what Bharti was doing. Armaan knocked on the door and Bharti jerked for a second and widened her eyes in shock and stood up immediately.Armaan was surprised to see her reaction upon seeing him and Bharti quickly closed the document and thought to herself, "Phew!!".
Armaan:Ermm...are you okay???
Bharti:Yeah..yeah..I'm fine..What's wrong with me???
Armaan:Exactly..what's wrong with you??
Bharti:Kaha na...Nothing...
Armaan:Oh-kay....(still skeptical of Bharti's words)
Bharti:Well I was just about to go...(walks to go off)
Armaan:Ermm your laptop is still inside..
Bharti:Oh shux..(grinned sheepishly) Hehe....(thought to herself) "What the hell am I doing??Feeling so nervous and tensed in front of Armaan...That's pretty new..."..Waise Armaan what are you doing here???
Armaan:I know I had been super busy that I didn't even get time to talk to you for like wad...2 weeks...I'm really sorry for that....
Bharti:Haan haan how can I miss that???You had been so busy and that too now you've got a girlfriend that you've decided to ditch your secret friend after all.....
Armaan:Bharti it's not like that....Lots of photo-shoots and fashion events and there's more coming up aur upar se Preity and I have been assigned more and more work...
Bharti:Apparently I've been seeing that you've got no time for me, ek mamuli dost na....(sulks at him)
Armaan:Bharti.....
Bharti:Armaan....Gosh I still can't believe that we've not talked to each other or even bumped into each other for 2 weeks..That basically means one thing....I am getting used to the high heels....
Armaan:(smiled at her) Hey shall we go somewhere???I'm really bored too....
Bharti:I'm not going to go with you..You've got your girl na??Just go with her...
Armaan:Bharti I totally don't like it when you talk to me like this....
Bharti:What do you expect me to do??I really felt bad...and now I'm calling Payal...She'll go out with me....
Armaan:And if she doesn't, will you go out with me??
Bharti:Hello Payal...hello..She disconnected my call....
Armaan:So am I in??
Bharti:Why did she disconnect my call??
Armaan:Maybe she's busy...
Bharti:But she has never disconnected my call just like that..That only means one thing....She's with Bhaskar....Yeh Bhaskar bhi na....
Armaan:Ok shall we go??
Bharti:Ok come since you're the last option...
Armaan:Bharti!!!!
Bharti:See I haven't lost touch with irritating and bugging you as always....
Armaan:Chalo meri maa....
Both of them smiled at each other and were about to go but just then Preity came. Bharti and Armaan glanced at each other. Bharti was feeling super irritated and turned away from Armaan and faced Preity.
Preity:Oh are you guys like going out somewhere???
Bharti:Actually Preity we were...But you know what...I assume that you've got work with Armaan,am I right???
Preity:Actually yeah I do..I'm really sorry...
Bharti:Yeah right...Oops erm Armaan enjoy your time with her...I'm off!!!
Bharti left to outside her cabin and just then Armaan held her hand and stopped her, pulling her towards him.
Bharti:What??
Armaan:Sorry...
Bharti:What for???
Armaan:Guess she must be having some important work or else she wouldn't disturb...
Bharti:(raised her eyebrows and glared at him) Did I even ask you that I want to go out with you??No,right???Forget it Armaan...Just go and spend time with her...Enjoy!!!I'm outta here....
Armaan:B..Bharti...
Bharti:Leave my hand Armaan....I said Leave!!(sounding quite pissed)
Armaan just let go of her hand and let her go.He felt utterly miserable for breaking her heart just like that.He went to ask Preity what was the important matter she wanted to discuss with him and Preity told him of the urgent photo-shoot that Amarjeet just told her and he had to go with her.
While Preity drove to the venue for the fashion shoot, Armaan was lost in his thoughts. He knew that for the first time Bharti had reacted as such upon seeing him. But he wondered what he was trying to get by ignoring and neglecting Bharti on purpose for the past two weeks. He thought of spending more time, engrossing himself in various photo-shoots and avoiding Bharti's sight by hiding from her in Men's Universe. However this has brought him nothing at all except putting his friendship with Bharti at stake. He simply intended to stay away from her just to try and forget her but every moment he tried hard to forget her, Bharti kept entering his mind and he decided that by doing so, he'll simply complicate his life and he had decided to stop doing so, on Jiya's and Sudha's advice and just right now Bharti felt bad about him ditching her at the last moment.
Meanwhile Preity's doubts were increasing day by day. She had seen Armaan hiding from Bharti and not even talking to her but today she saw them talking once again to each other and she realized that there's surely something going on between them.She now wondered what Armaan might do for there was no photo-shoot of any sort and she just wanted to go out with him. She had driven to Breekz Cafe and upon reaching there,Armaan then realized that Preity had lied to him.Preity knew that he felt bad and quickly apologized to him and told him to give her some time for she just wanted to be with him.Armaan closed his eyes in frustration and turned to go but Preity told him to have a cup of coffee with her at least and after that he could go and he agreed.
He was very much irritated for he wanted to spend some time with Bharti instead of Preity but she simply kept making things difficult.Preity ordered for 2 cups of Cappuchino and as he turned around, he was surprised to see Payal and Bhaskar seated at an adjacent table. Armaan quickly sipped his cup of coffee.
Payal and Bhaskar were eagerly waiting for their orders and just then Bhaskar nudged Payal, asking her to take a look.
Payal:Armaan yaha pe??Who's that..Heyy..Preity right??
Bhaskar:Yeah...I can't believe it!!
Payal:What??
Bhaskar:That Armaan loves Preity..I mean he has never liked a girl like her...And when rumours of their link-up got spread last year, he didn't evenc are about her...He just ignored her all the way....and when I was thinking that he could be falling for our Bharti, then this bomb exploded...
Payal:You too???
Bhaskar:What??You mean you too??
Payal:Yeah...But I didn't expect you to..
Bhaskar:Kyun??I'm not blind,alright....
Payal:But Bharti doesn't think that way...
Bhaskar:Are you sure??
Payal:Actually no..I don't think so...But Bharti says that way...
Bhaskar:Hhmm..aaj kal woh jaldi nikal thi MU se...so i don't really get the time to talk to her too...She'll be gone by the time I return from meetings..
Payal:Can't you take a break from all these...I mean don't you get fed up??Meetings after meetings....
Bhaskar:Well I'm a people person so I don't get fed up....
Payal:How can I forget??You get to mingle with the lovely gorgeous ladies who accompany your clients...
Bhaskar:Exactly..You know me so well na??
Payal:You should be glad that I'm ok with all these...Or else...
Bhaskar:Or else kya??
Payal:Bhaskar...tum..(pauses upon seeing Armaan at their table) Heyy Armaan you're here??It's a surprise...
Bhaskar:Yeah it indeed is and that too with Preity..Lage raho...
Armaan:Ermm did Bharti call you or something??
Payal:Actually she did but this Bhaskar kept disconnecting the calls...Heyy why are you asking about Bharti all of a sudden??
Armaan:Oh it's nothing actually...
Payal:Is there a fight between you two or something???Any misunderstanding??
Armaan:Oh no..nothnig of the sort...You two enjoy yourselves....I'll be leaving first,k??
Payal:Yeah take care...
Armaan:Bye..
Bhaskar:Bye....
Payal:Kuch toh zaroor hua hain....
Bhaskar:Well i guess they'll sort it on their own....
Payal:Hope so...I should call Bharti na??
Bhaskar:After our dinner..please??
Payal:Ok fine...Jee bhar ke khaalo!!!
Meanwhile Bharti had gone to the pub to just enjoy a drink with Alisha and Sanjana who had just finished their work.It's been pretty long since she actually went to the pub.
Alisha:Hey Bharti, is it true that Armaan loves someone else??
Bharti:What do you want to know???Armaan actually loves Preity, a colleague at Men's Universe...
Sanjana:What rubbish!!
Bharti:Why??What's wrong???(gulped down several pegs of wine)
Alisha:Sanjana it's nothing...
Bharti:Kyun??Kya hua achanak??
Alisha:Nothing...nothing at all...
Bharti:Are you guys like hiding something from me???
Alisha:Erm..no..Sanju's just feeling crappy in her head, unable to digest the fact that guys could just fall in and out of love so easily....
Bharti:That's nothing new Sanju...No one can be trusted these days...Ek second....We were talking about Armaan but why is Sanju feeling that way about him???
Sanjana:That's because he has fallen in love with another girl and now he's in love with Preity...That's so strange....
Bharti:What???Do you even realize what you're talking???
Sanjana:I very well do Bharti...
Alisha:Sanju you're drinking too much...
Bharti:Guyzz I've gotta go..It's quite late already...Thanks for coming..
Alisha: Itni jaldi??I'll drop you off??
Bharti:It's ok..I'm strong and I can get back on my own....Good night gurlzz!!!(took a bottle of wine and went searching for an auto)
Bharti took an auto and thank God she remembered to get back to Armaan's place and she kept banging on the door several times before she even realized that she had the keys to the house.She unlocked the door and saw Armaan having rushed out from the washroom.Bharti was staggering her way and just smiled at Armaan. Armaan grabbed her hand and stopped her and looked at her intently.
Armaan:Phir pee kar aagaye tum??
Bharti:(looked very much drunk)What do you think??Aur haan..You wanna slap me, just go ahead,k??I won't be angry at you or scold you or anything......
Armaan:Bharti....
Bharti:Look I promised you that I won't drink in sadness or grief..Today I drank for my friends and I met up after a long time....Kyun??Tumhe kuch kehna nahin hai???
Armaan:Bharti you're really drunk..I'll help you...
Bharti:No..No way Armaan...Mujhe tumhari help ki koi zaroorat bhi nahin hai...I'm fine..Super strong girl..I can handle myself..I've been handling myself till now and i'll handle myself from now on....
Armaan let go of her hand and turned away from Bharti for her words really hurt him and he realized that it's only because of him that she's hurting him back. He turned around for he heard her shout.
Armaan went into his room and saw Bharti having hit her head on the edge of the bed and he ran to her. He extended his hand to help her but Bharti pushed his hand away and she sat upright.
Armaan:Bharti..blood's oozing from your head...
Bharti:Let it ooze..I don't care and you totally don't have to care about me..Now that you've gotten...
Armaan placed his finger on her lips before she uttered Preity's name.
Armaan:Don't even mention her name ever again in front of us....Please!!!
Bharti:Why???She's your girlfriend...
Armaan:She isn't!!And she can never be!!!
Bharti:Aur main yeh baat maan lo??Very funny Armaan...Sanjana was so right....You guyzz just fall in and out of love so quickly....
Armaan:Look Bharti..I'm not like that and will never be...
Bharti:And how can I trust you Armaan??
Armaan:Because I'm telling you...Don't you trust my words??
Bharti:No I don't...
Armaan:Look into my eyes and you'll know..What do you see Bharti??
Bharti:I see your pupil and that's it...Nothing else....
Armaan:That's becuase you're not even looking....Bharti main tumhari kasam khaa kar kehta hoon ki main Preity se pyaar nahin karta...
Bharti:Aur uss din kya hua tha tumhe jo tum sabke saamne Preity se apna pyaar ka izhaar kar rahe the???Kya hua...jawab nahin mila???
Armaan:I don't know what I was thinking...Maybe I was trying to forget my first love..
Bharti:Oh come on Armaan...Guys like you just....
Armaan held her face with his palms real close to his and looked at her with his welled-up eyes.
Armaan:Bharti...Please listen to me...
Bharti:Mujhe kuch bhi sunna nahin hain Armaan...
Armaan:Tumhe sunna hi padega....Maana ki woh meri achi colleague hain, bohat achi kaam karti hai, innovative hai aur creative bhi..Main uski izzat kar tha hoon par pyaar nahin karta..
While saying so Armaan saw Bharti's eyes welled up as well and continued to whisper to her.
Armaan:Main kisi aur se pyaar karta hoon...
Bharti:Kisse??
Armaan:Woh...(occasionally glanced at Bharti's lips and went a lil more closer)
Bharti:Bataoge nahin??
Armaan:Hain ek ladki jisse dekh kar mujhe bata nahin kya ho jaata hain...Jiske bina mera din aur raat adhoora padh tha hai...Jisse ehsaas tak nahin ki main usse kitna zyaada pyaar karne laga hoon....
Bharti:Kaun hai woh Armaan???
Armaan:Tumhe yaad hai ek baar tumne kya kaha tha mujhse??Maa ke saamne??
Bharti:Maine kya kaha tha??
Armaan:Yehi ki jab do pyaar karne waalo ke beech bohat kuch kehna ho par bina kuch kahe hi woh dono ek doosre ke dil ki baat samajh lete hai??Aisa hi kuch kaha tha na tumne??
Bharti:Kahi padha tha...
Armaan:Yeh baat kuch aise hi hain Bharti...Meri aankhon mein jaak kar dekhoge toh..(pauses for a while)..Bas ek baar...
Bharti's eyes welled up and tears streamed down her cheeks and she gradually closed her eyes.Armaan watched her closing her eyes and he gently leaned forward towards her cheek and kissed her tears away and whispered to her ear, "i'll never ever let your tears fall..You are very special to me!!"..Bharti couldn't believe what she heard and she closed her eyes, hoping that this dream of hers will never break apart and she involuntarily leaned a lil closer towards Armaan. Armaan watched her face closely and felt as if Bharti had just heard the voice of his heart and he too closed his eyes to kiss her. Both of them shared a passionate kiss for quite some time before Armaan broke off from her lips.
Armaan realized that Bharti had fallen asleep and carried her in his arms and made her lie down. He went to take the safety kit and attended to Bharti's wound on her forehead and placed a bandage. He took Bharti's hand and kissed it gently and turned off the lamp and went to lie down beside her. He wondered what just happened between them.He wondered where he even got the guts to even share his deepest feelings with her. He had totally not expected him to be so vulnerable in front of her and expect Bharti to harbour such feelings for him as well.He just hoped that this was not a dream that was meant to be broken.She is his destiny and right now he can't imagine his life without her.Armaan watched Bharti sleep as he wondered what just happened. He didn't want Bharti to part from him at this crucial phase of his life. However, a sudden fear of losing her began to gradually sink in his heart and he was afraid of the upcoming morning.
~The Next Day~
Armaan already got up and was reading the papers while sipping his cup of coffee. Bharti only rose from her sleeping position and placed her hand on her head for it hurt awfully from the hangover since last night and she felt a bandage on her head too. She wondered what happened last night for she couldn't recall anything. Not a single thing!! Except her conversation with Alisha and Sanjana. After that, what had happened; sha had no clue whatsoever. Just then Armaan went inside his room. He smiled at Bharti and she wondered why he's smiling for. Bharti was super exhausted and she wondered if she had said anything to Armaan last night for she was pretty much irritated with him for ditching her at the last moment.
Armaan:Good morning...
Bharti:Mornin'...Hey if i had said anything to you out of frustration just forget it k??Gosh i can't even remember how I even came back and goodness..do you know how I got this cut??
Armaan was shattered. He was indeed shocked!! He practically wanted to shake her and ask her if she really couldn't remember anything that happened last night; how she got irritated at him for avoiding her, how both of them uttered their feelings for each other in the midst of frustration and how both of them felt the passion of their love for one another but Armaan just stood still.
