~ArBi FF Jab Lurve Hua~Part 271 pg141 - Page 33

Bhaskar:Ek baat poocho tumse??

Payal:Haan poocho na...

Bhaskar:Will you mind if ever some day Armaan and Bharti unites??

Payal:(raised her head from Bhaskar's shoulder) What??

Bhaskar:Look both of us very well know that Armaan definitely has feelings for Bharti...

Payal:Bhaskar..

Bhaskar:Are you against it??

PAyal:I'm not against Armaan but I just want to see Bharti happy...

Bhaskar:Maybe her happiness lies in being with Armaan...

Payal:she said that to you??

Bhaskar:No but I've been noticing her for 2 days..You know how she is,right???How she appears all so strong from outside but from within, she's this troubled girl and I've been seeing her getting lost in her own world during certain meetings..

Payal:Dekho Bhaskar tum yeh...

Bhaskar:Now why are you being so overprotective??

Payal:I'm not...

Bhaskar:Yes you are..Don't deny that fact, will you??

Payal:Fine, fine!!

Bhaskar:It's her life na??Let her decide for herself..We'll always be there for her just as she's always been there for us..Hhmm??

Payal:(smiled at Bhaskar) You're so right Bhasku..(hugs him)

Bhaskar:(surprised at Payal's sudden gesture and smiled at her) Aww..thanks jaan..now come let's get this place spick and span for Bharti...

Meanwhile Bharti just reached home with Mahi, feeling so exhausted. Mahi and Bharti went to have a quick shower before having dinner.Mahi and Bharti sat down to watch TV for a while. Bharti was still trying to figure out why Armaan had even bothered to defend for her in front of everyone. Mshi realized that Bharti was lost somewhere and pinched her.

Bharti:Ouch!!

Mahi:Sorry about that..Are you ok??

Bharti:Mahi, tumse ek baat poocho??

Mahi:Poocho poocho..

Bharti:Kya tum ek ajnabee ke liye kuch bhi karoge??Kisi bhi hadh tak jaaoge??

Mahi:Main aisa kyun karungi Bharti??Aur woh bhi ek ajnabee ke liye??

Bharti:Wohi toh main soch rahi hoon...Woh aisa kyun kar raha hai??

Mahi:Kaun kya kar raha hai??

Bharti:Arre woh..(pauses for a while)..Kuch nahin...

Mahi:Mujhe nahin bataoge??

Bharti:Aisa kuch khaas nahin hain...

Mahi:So this has got nothing to do with what happened at MU today??

Bharti:Kya matlab??

Mahi:Armaan,despite breaking your friendhsip, had fought for you first before Jiya and Bhaskar too went in your favour..And you're wondering why Armaan's doing all these??

Bharti:Ok wow...You just read my ming...The exact thoughts being spelt out right in front of me...

Mahi:Sonali calls me a psychic..Anyways the answer's pretty simple!!

Bharti:What??

Mahi:He can't see injustice being done to you..He still considers you his own...But why have you not forgiven him yet??

Bharti:why should I even forgive such a person who didn't think twice breaking my friendship??

Mahi:Well I really think he's really regretful..and very apologetic...And you should never delay in forgiving someone..Someone like Armaan for he's a great friend..You can have my word for him..I may just know him for maybe 1 year but I've not seen a close to perfect gentleman like him and someone who makes mistakes too but at the same time admits his faults and rectifies them instantly..Sonali and I are very much fond of him..I know you're really hurt by him but try to understand what went wrong between you two and reconcile..Trust me, it'll only brighten up your life for the best...Just give him a chance, yaar...Think about it yeah??I'm quite tired...Good night!!

Bharti:Good night!!

Bharti wondered about what Mahi had said. She didn't know what to do. Just then Mahi peeped from her bedroom and saw Bharti in her thoughts.

Mahi:Hey Bharti..

Bharti:You haven't slept yet??I thought yuo were dead tired..

Mahi:So...

Bharti:So???

Mahi:What have you decided??

Bharti:About??(pretended to not understand Mahi's question)

Mahi:Bharti...

Bharti:I don't know Mahi...

Mahi:Bharti!!!You shouldn't delay..What if you become too late in forgiving Armaan??Bharti:What??

Mahi:What if something happens to him, will you be able to forgive yourself??Bharti..I know how that feels...For I had failed to forgive my friend earlier due to a big misunderstanding and by the time i realized the truth I lost her due to God's call...That should never happen to you Bharti...

Bharti:Now this is different..

Mahi:I admit it is and it is indeed Armaan's fault..Agreed!!But you too are just behaving like him..

Bharti:What??How so??

Mahi:Look Bharti..Anger was Armaan's fault here and he said all of that out of anger...But you too...Just letting your friendship break!!What's wrong in forgiving him and starting all over??

Bharti:I don't know Mahi...

Mahi:Just think about it yaar...I can't compel you or anything but I just want you two to be friends..Anyways I'll go and sleep first..Good night!!

Bharti:Good night!!

Bharti continued watching TV. Just then there was a powercut and Bharti was sitting on the sofa in total darkness. She wondered what she was going to do,"Mahi is right..Even I'm just letting my friendship break..How could I do that..Armaan is my secret friend..We had so much of fun together but somehow I'm not feeling that way now..Things feel strangely different now..But why??"

KK:May I tell you??

Bharti:Kaun hai??(got scared fro she saw no onr in the pitch darkness)

Just then the electric power got restored and the tV was switched on as well. Just then she turned and almost leapt from the sofa.

Bharti:Tum yaha bhi pohanch gaye??Maine tumhara kya bigaadha tha dude??

KK:I'm just your well-wisher Bharti..

Bharti:Meri well-wisher..Ab kyun aaye ho??Mahi's inside..

KK:She's sound asleep...

Bharti:Sab ki khabar rakte ho...How interesting!!

KK:You seem to be in a problem..

Bharti:How come you're not sure if I have a problem or not??

KK:Thought of giving you a chance of telling me..

Bharti:KK please...

KK:Waise Armaan's anger was for a reason..Don't you know??

Bharti:He has no right to just vent his anger on me...Actually i didn't even mind that..But he shouldn't have said what he did...He just kiiled the friendship..

KK:He still considers you as his friend..

Bharti:Yea right..

KK:Or else why would he defend for you to save you from getting fired??

Bharti:How am I supposed to know??

KK:You'll be surprised to know that he still cares for you and perhaps he's truly apologetic...Or else he could have just gone away without even saying anything in your defense...But he spoke for you....

Bharti:OHh I would have rather loved the latter option...

KK:Are you even sure that you wanted to lose your job??Are you not even thankful that Armaan had literally saved your job??

Bharti:(stood up from the sofa) No not at all...I'm not even thankful to him..Bata nahin sab log uski taraf daari kyun kar raha hain...Aur tum bhi shuru ho gaye..Dekho KK,..KK???Arrggghhh...Yeh kaha se aata hai??Ek din bata karna hi padega!!!

The next day Bharti and Mahi were walking towards the MU lift. The lift opened and Armaan was inside; Bharti thought of going away but mahi pulled her in. Mahi was standing in the middle with Armaan on her left and bharti on her right. Mahi wished Armaan Good Morning.

Armaan:Good morning to you too Mahi..You seem much happier nowadays..

Mahi:Well it's thanks to a special girl who has taught me how to smile..(smiled at Bharti)..Waise tumhe toh aaj kal MU mein zyaada toh nahin dikhaayi deti hain...

Armaan:Lots of work plus photo-shoots...Mostly outdoors...

Mahi:Hhmm..very busy well Bharti and I are getting busier too..Workload is getting heavier plus presentations, meetings...Ok then I'll see you around...

Mahi and Bharti walked out of the lift. Just then Armaan called for Mahi who asked Bharti to go off first.

Mahi:Yes Armaan...

Armaan:Erm woh kya hian na Mahi...

Mahi:Idhar aao..(goes to his cabin) Ab bolo..

Armaan:Woh...

Mahi:Uffo Armaan...Bharti ke baarein mein poochna tha??

Armaan grinned sheepishly and nodded in agreement.

Mahi:She's staying with me at my place..

Armaan:Really??I thought she was staying at some hotel...I mean I really had no idea where she was...

Mahi:Uffo Armaan just relax yeah...But..mujhe ek baat batao..Why didn't you inform us of the wedding??

Armaan:What wedding??

Mahi:Bharti told me everything..And I've promised her that I won't tell anyone about it...Ab mujhe batao!!

Armaan:I didn't want any unnecessary rumours to be spread...

Mahi:Anyways I had the slightest clue that you would ever get so angry...

Armaan:I know, i know, I'm such an idiot!!

Mahi:Oh God..Ok now don't feel so bad,k??I've tried my best to convince her to forgive you but I've no idea if it has rubbed in or not..Waise...

Just then there was a knock on the door.

Mahi:Oh your gf's here..I'll talk to you later...

Armaan:Hey wait if things do work out I'll treat you for lunch,yeah??

Mahi:My pleasure to join you..Thanks!!(winked at him)

Mahi went to meet Bharti to ask for the files she had asked to keep with Bharti.

Bharti:what was he asking???

Mahi:Who Bharti??

Bharti:tHe guy in the lift...

Mahi:Guy in the lift??Ohhh Armaan...nothing really...Oh hi Bhaskar...

Bhaskar:Hi Mahi..Bharti, we've got to go...

Mahi:Hhmm..anyways Bharti can i get those files I told you to keep yesterday??

Bharti:Hey you go...

Mahi:Thanks you guys carry on....

Mahi left form there to meet Sonali while Bharti went with Bhaskar to the guestohuse during lunch hour. Bhaskar drove to his guesthouse. Bharti just loved it at first sight. It was a beautiful two-storey house with large glass windows everywhere which madr the surroundings so bright and Bharti loved the scenic view of the nearby beach.Bharti hugged Bhaskar and thanked him for letting her stay and Bhaskar told her that Payal and himself will really love to have Bharti staying here and for as long as she wished to. Bharti thanked him and told him that she'll shift in a week's time and Bhaskar smiled at her. Bhaskar was driving back to MU. Lunch hour wasn't over yet. Juust as Bharti and Jiya were about to eat, Raj called her up.

Bharti:Raj??

Raj:Hi Bharti...

Bharti:Hi...How come you're not at MU yet??

Raj:I already am...Will be there in a minute..Do you see me??

Bharti:Oh yeah...(waved to him and hung up) Wonder why even called..

Jiya:Lollz he does that all the time...

Bharti:Lollz..

Raj:What is this girl telling you about me??

Jiya:Mr Raj Malhotra..I'm just telling her that you lust love spending your money away for no particular reason....

Raj:Thanks for the flatter..Got me any food??

Jiya:Lazy bump...go and get it yourself!!

Bharti:Lollz Raj..we've waited in a long queue and finally sat down to eat...Now you go and buy your food..Wait a sec..You haven't eaten anything from home??

Jiya:Bharti, don't you know that this eligible bachelor's home will only have wine and maybe instant noodles...Wonder how and why he's even thriving on such food...

Raj:Ahem Jiya that's enough for today, yeah??

Jiya:Oh is it??(had a Hi-5 moment with Bharti and both of them laughed and soon Raj joined them)

After Raj brought food and joined them Bharti informed them that she'll be shifting somewhere else in a week's time.

Raj:Par kaha??

Jiya:Naya ghar..interesting...

Bharti:It's actually Bhaskar's and Payal's guesthouse which has been vacant for some time..And yeah I'll be shifting there..

Jiya:Glad to know Bharti..Do invite us there some day..

Bharti:I was thinking of having a small housewarming party after my shift there...

Raj:Awesome..I'll be looking forward..

Jiya:Me too,me too...Cool,can't wait...

Bharti:(looks at her watch) Oh my, I'm running late..I'll catch you guys later..Bye...

Raj:Bye..

Jiya:Bye..so how's Malaika??

Raj:Good..in fact great, you know something??She was asking who was the one who picked up her call that night...

Jiya:And what did you say??

Raj:That you're my sis..

Jiya:WHAT???Raj..I'm so gonna kill you!!!Oh I could have just died if I were ever your sis...You crapbag!!

Raj:Lollz main mazak kar raha tha yaar...I told her that you're Jiya,my best buddy...

Jiya:That's nice to hear...In that case, I'll grab some of your noodles...

Raj:Heyy I'm hungry..

Jiya:It's ok...Just be happy that I only took a bit and not the entire noodles...

Raj:Gosh Jiya...No more..Had enough of your nonsense for today..

Jiya:Don't even get me started..

Raj:What??Uffo chup..LEt me eat in peace..

Jiya:Fine!!Hey do you think that Bharti'll call Armaan for the housewarming party??

Raj:Mujhse kyun pooch rahe ho tum??Go and ask her yourself..I'll leave for now..Need to meet Amarjeet and Gyaan..

Jiya:Enjoy yourslef..Bye..

Raj:(smiled) Bye...

Over the next few days, Bharti had sent invite cards to the staff of Men's Universe. She asked Sonali to give Armaan the invite card and she went to pass the invite card to Mahi.

Mahi:What is this Bharti??

Bharti:Open it and see...

Mahi:Housewarming party...And you're telling me now??

Bharti:Sorry yaar..Had been tied up with work and you remember that day when Bhaskar came to talk to me during lunch hour when you asked me for some files??

Mahi:Yeahh...

Bharti:That day Bhaskar took me there and I just loved it at first sight..I'm sure you'll love it too..

Mahi:Hhmm...so you got bored at my place??

Bharti:Oh come on Mahi, you know it's nothing liike that...

Mahi:Arre yaar..only kidding...I'm just happy for you..

Bharti:Ok I'll catch ya later...Gotta go first and finish up my wotk for today...

Mahi:Ok just inform me when you're done..We'll go back together..

Bharti:Okiezz..(went from there)

Bharti walked to her cabin, and resumed her work. Mahi was done with her work and decided to go and sit in Bharti's cabin. Meanwhile Armaan and Jiya had walked back home.

Jiya:So...quiet...

Armaan:Yeah the street is so quiet..

Jiya:Do I even care if the street's quiet??I'm talking about you..Kya hua hai??

Armaan:I feel so bad that Bharti didn't invite me personally...She asked Sonali to pass it to me instead..

Jiya:Busy hogi shayad...

Armaan:Sonali herself told me and she was asking if both of us had a tiff or something...

Jiya:Invite card toh mil gaya na...Yehi badi baat hai...

Armaan:Jiya...

Jiya:Now don't get me started Armaan...

Armaan:I was expecting some encouragement..

Jiya:Just relax dude...Isn't this a good sign??She's involving you in her celebrations...

Armaan:Yeah you're right..Jiya..

Jiya:As always Armaan..Ok i'll go from here..See ya tomorrow at Bharti's housewarming party..

Armaan:Ok see ya too...
