PART 12 : THE "UN"FRIENDS
"Hey whats up with both of you?? You are behaving like you guys dont know each other!!" As Sid walked up to them, followed by everyone else w ith an equally incredulous expression, Samrat and Gunjan both looked at each other and blushed.. For the first time ever, they were at a loss for words..
"Hey Gun, temme wats up with u two ya... I know somethings wrong.. What is it??" A very concerned Annie cornered Gunjan.. "Um.. Hesawmeinatowel...." "WHAT??!" "Yeah..He saw me in a towel.." "Oh shit...um..are you guys okay??" "OKAY?? ANNIE I ALMOST DIED OF EMBARASSMENT AND YOU ASK ME IF IM OKAY!!..Seriously.." Unknowingly, she glanced towards him..As if their minds were connected, he looked at her at that very instant, and smiled..not a smirk, not a grin, but a true,heartfelt smile..It lit her heart like nothing else did...
All too soon, she remembered Rana, and whipped her head back, but not before seeing the smile on his face be replaced by hurt and shock in those eyes..
"So look, now I have even seen you in a towel.. Come on yaar, atleast now be my girlfriend..I bet no one has seen you in this state ever..besides me.. By the way, u looked really hot ha.." "Samrat!" She smacked him on his arm, only too aware of the truth of his statement... She couldn't help it...
............................................................................................................................................................................
"Hey...Um...Im going for a new years' eve ball tonight...Um..want to come along?" "But Samrat..my mom wont allow me... You know what happened yesterday...Dont you?" "What happened? She cme to know about you and that jerk Rana n? That's it... Come on Gunjan you need some fresh air, besides my mom will also be there...!! Ask her! Its just me yaar!"
Two hours later, Gunjan nervously paced up and down her living room..She was wearing a white halter dress that hugged her body and fell slightly loosely just above her knees.. "Perfect" She thought, as she knotted and unknotted the white ribbon running just under her bust for the thousandth time in her nervousness..Her hair fell naturally to her shoulders, and her mother's magic touch and make-up had enhanced her eyes beautifully... She got into her car and started off towards Samrat's house..
As she got off from her car and walked towards Samrat's car, she couldnt help but gulp in mouthfuls of air, trying to calm herself.. "Sweetie you look beautiful!" Slightly relaxing at aunty's loving hug, she sat inside, not daring to look at Samrat, who seemed like he was off to la-la land the moment he had seen her..
As the cold January breeze made her shiver, he reflexively put up an arm around her shoulders..His touch made her shiver more, not yo mention that she was swooning with the effect his cologne was having on her.. He was looking more hot than she had ever imagined, and all she wanted was to be in his arms, forever..
As they were roaming the grounds, he looked at her sideways..The breeze was ruffling her hair and she kept putting back the irritant stray strand from her forehead..She looked like candy, he thought..His favourite one at that...At that moment, all he wanted to do was engulf her in his arms, and never let her go..He felt a certain tenderness for her, as if this vulnerable craetire besides him was his responsibilty, so safeguard and to protect..It was something he had never felt before, for anyone, and it overwhelmed him..
Later, as they sat on the couch, talking, he looked at her in the ye.. "You look really very very beautifu today.." He whispered, sending goosebumps up her arms.."So do you..I mean..You look hot.." "Oh is it?" "Okay Mr. Shergill, dont try and flirt with me..I just tell the truth.." Pushing him away, she ran from there, only to stick to his mom for the rest of the evening much to his absolute frustration..
After a delicious dinner, they were heading home.. The slow strains of the love songs playing on the late night radio show filled the car, and she sat back, feeling magical..
As the sound of "Tumse HI" from Jab We Met filled the car, he turned back..."From me to you.." He gestured, blowing her a kiss... Tears filled her eyes..She had never realised she meant so much to him..And this had touched her.. Wiping a stray tear off her cheek, she gave him a watery smile and blew him a kiss in return, hating herself for purposely keeping herself away from him....
.........................................................................................................................................................
They had all gathered at the railway station, excited.. They were finally going to Delhi, where Mayank's parents lived, and had invited all if them to spend 2 weeks...It was her, Samrat, Annie, Benjy, Khushi, Uday and Dhruv.. Chatering nineteen to the dozen, they had boarded the train...Contented, she leaned back into her seat and stared out of the window, never guessing that this journey was going to change the course of her life, forever....
