~ArBi FF Jab Lurve Hua~Part 271 pg141 - Page 77

~Next Day~

It was the early dawn hours when Raj headed to Shreya's place.He rang the bell repeatedly for a few times before she opened the door.She was quite shocked to see him in the early morning hours but quickly carried the baby and placed her in the hamper and gave to Raj who was pretty much tired to even talk and headed straight home.

Meanwhile,he dialled Jiya's mobile number.He waited till she picked up her phone.

Jiya:Hhmm kaun hai...(heard someone snoring on the other line)Raj???

Raj:Hhmm,oh hi..it's me,Raj..(yawned)

Jiya:Hey dude what's up?

Raj:You think you can come over to my place now?

Jiya:Now,as in right now?What's the matter?

Raj:I'll wait for you..(hung up)

Jiya:Hell-o...(hung up when she realized that Raj had already hung up)Bata nahin isse achanak)Ek minute,how come he's calling from his place?Didn't he go over to his place?

Raj was glad that Jiya could make it to his place at such short notice.

Jiya:Now will you tell me why exactly you woke me up at 5:45 am?

Raj:Come in..(yawns)..You're still in your pajamas!!

Jiya:Shut up..

Raj:Ok come..(Jiya laid down on the sofa)

Jiya:Is the girl here?

Raj:Which girl?

Jiya:Arre wohi jiske saath tum baat kar rahe the kal raat..

Raj:No yaar..You know that i don't bring girls over to my place..

Jiya:And i reached home last night around 3 am..You reaching home now ismply doesn't make a single sense to me!!

Raj:Sach kahoo...I wasn't in the mood and i kept thinking of..

Jiya:The baby?(Raj nodded in agreement)Are you serious?

Raj:Yeah..actually i did have fun but it wasn't..You know..

Jiya:Hhmm,so does the girl actually know the fact that you've left..

Raj:yeah i left her a note..

Jiya:(got amused by Raj)I cna't believe that you..

Raj:Me either..I mean,i'm supposed to enjoy the night with the gorgeous girl but i kept thinking of the baby..

Jiya:We really need to solve the mystery of the baby's parents soon or else your social life is in danger..

Raj:Tell me about it..It seemed as if i forgot to..

Jiya:Just chill,dude..Maybe you were just too tired;that's all..

Raj:Maybe..

Jiya:You called me here for this?

Raj:Actually,i'm going to sleep for a while..You think you can take care of the baby for me?

Jiya:Idiot..I've barely slept for 2 hours and you called me to babysit?Where did your babysitter go?

Raj:Arre yaar,i've been really troubling her for the week so i thought..

Jiya:Yeahh,you thought why not trouble Jiya,yeah?Look dude,i need to sleep too..We can look after the baby at the same time..If she cries,the first person who wkaes up will look after her,ok?

Raj:Sounds sensible to me..Cool!!(Both Raj and Jiya dozed off)

~After a few hours later~

Both Jiya and raj were still sleeping,unaware of the fact that the baby had already woken up and was crying endlessly.After some time,the baby stopped crying and looked around.She crawled out of the hamper,using her legs and had crawled to Raj but he was in a world of his own.She tried to get some attention from Jiya who apparently hadn't realized that she had fallen from the sofa onto the carpeted floor and the baby laid next to Jiya and kicked her gently,but couldn't wake her up.After some time,Raj woke up and opened his eyes.He was surprised to see the baby lying next to Jiya who had placed her hand around the baby,and smiled while continuing to watch the both of them.Just then,the wind from the fan caused Jiya's hair to fall in front of the baby.Raj gently stood up and went to gently place Jiya's hair away form the baby's face.As he did so,he couldn't help but watch the two innocent faces beside each other.Just then,Jiya opened her eyes and blinked.Raj waved to her and she woke up instantly,letting out a scream.

Jiya:Raj,you idiot!!For a moment,i felt that you were a ghost..(hit his elbow)

Raj:Ouchh..stop it,Jiya!!

Jiya:I thought i was sleeping on the sofa..How did i land up on the floor??(placed her hand on her head)

Raj:You must be dreaming..Haven't you?

Jiya:(gave a fake grin)Ye-ahh!!

Raj:About whom?

Jiya:What?

Raj:Who were you dreaming of?Hhmm?

Jiya:Raj,please..Stop chewing my brians right now!!(stood up and headed to the washroom)

Raj:Ahem..there's an extra brush in the washroom...You can use that!!

Jiya:Move a bit,Raj..I need the basin too!!(Both Raj and Jiya used the same washroom,standing beside each other and brushing their teeth)

Raj:(leaned his head towards her's)You haven't answered me yet..

Jiya:About what?

Raj:Oh god Jiya..About your dream guy..

Jiya:For your kind info,there's no such guy and even if there was,i'm not intending to tell ya..(paused for a while to rinse her mouth)Waise how did you assume that i was dreaming?

Raj:Well...You girls tend to dream a lot,so just a smart assumption..Now,tell me..(rinsed his mouth)Who was it?

Jiya:(glared at him in irritation)Hhmm...(splashed water on his face and got out of the washroom)I hope you got your answer!!

Raj:Heyy!!(turned off the tap and wiped his face dry)

Meanwhile,Bharti had already refreshed herself and headed to the terrace upstairs with the papers and two cups of coffee for herself and Payal.There was nothing exciting in the papers and hence she passed the papers to Payal to read while she enjoyed her coffee.She switched on her phone and called Armaan on his mobile.Armaan was only waking up then.

Armaan:Good morning..

Bharti:Good morning..How's my princess doing?Has she woken up?

Armaan:Let me check on her,just hold on..Naina,your mama's calling you..(switched on loudspeaker mode)

Naina:Hi mama..

Bharti:Hi Naina..how are you?

Naina:Good...aur aap?

Bharti:Bad,bacause i'm missing you..Have you eaten?

Naina:Yes..2 pieces of bread with scrambled eggs,just like how you make for me..

Bharti:So sweet..So when are you coming back?

Naina:When Armaan uncle is ready to go..He just woke up!!

Bharti:What?He just woke up?

Naina:Yes mama,he's brushing his teeth..

Bharti:Haha,ok..I see;well,your Payal aunty and I are having our coffee now..

Armaan:(switched off the loudspeaker)Ahem,what's going on behind my back??

Bharti:Ntohing in particular,Armaan..So are you intending to semd my princess back to me or not?

Armaan:No,not at all..

Bharti:Excuse me?

Armaan:I so envy you for you get to keep her to yourself all the time..

Bharti:Look who's talking..Weren't you the one who opposed me initially?

Armaan:Yes,and i'm ever so glad that i'm wrong..Anyways,i'll be bringing her in a few hour's time,k?

Bharti:Sure,i'll try to wait patiently for her..Ok,bye!!

Armaan:Okiezz..See you later then,bye!!(hung up)

Raj:Hello,that's not an answer..Well anyways,forget that..

Jiya:tHank you and here's your cappuchino..

Raj:Waise how's Gaurav doing?Haven't heard about him for some time..

Jiya:Well,he's doing great..He jsut came back after a week of vacationing in London..

Raj:Acha?That's really interesting,indeed..

Jiya:Now what's so interesting about that?

Raj:Oh,it isn't interesting,na?

Jiya:What are you trying to do?

Raj:Nothing,actually..Erm,just agreeing with you..

Jiya:Raj,i have this hot cup of coffee in my hand..So don't mess with me,alright?

Raj:Ok,ok...So you've been in touch with Gaurav,knowing his activities and all..

Jiya:It's nothing of the sort..He just updates his Twitter and i'm his friend,so i get to know all these..

Raj:Twitter,huh?Social networking..Wow,not bad!!So is he the guy?

Jiya:Which guy?(paused for a while to realize what Raj was trying to imply)Stop it,Raj..I'm telling you for the last time!!

Raj:Did he,like,ask you out again?Come on,i won't tell anyone..I swear!!

Jiya:Well,once or twice!!

Raj:He did?Wow..when?

Jiya:A few days back..

Raj:And???

Jiya:WOW!!That's deep!!

Raj:So have I convinced you?

Jiya:Well maybe..Maybe not..

Raj:Ahh i hate that answer of your's..Well i can't compel you but do think about it..

Jiya:I'll think about it but first answer my question..How come you didn't spend the previous night well?

Raj:Didn't I tell you that i was worried about the baby..Yeahh that's the reason..

Jiya:That seemed more like an excuse to me!!

Raj:Jiya..

Jiya:(smiled widely at him)Yes?Tell me frankly..She was just an excuse,na?(raj kept quiet and looked away from her but not for long)Hah!!I knew it..

Raj:Ye-ahh!!Happy?(shook his head)

Jiya:It's been quite a while since you dated and if i'm not wrong,the last girl you dated..was Malaika?You haven't gotten over her,have you??OMG!!
