In the meanwhile
I turned to Benji he was looking far at the sea as if searchin for an end. We were sitting on the same high black stone.
Sh- to tum roz jogging karte ho?
Benji smiles n turns to her "nahin, I thought of accompanying u"
Sheena smiles"Its almost 9:00 now"
Benji- ya
Sh- lets go hv some breakfast
Benji hesitates n then looks up "sure"
I jumped off the stone, Benji jumps too and then unexpectedly grabs my hand n looks at me angrily.
I was aware of the close proximity among us but dint mind,
Benji- Aise kyun jump kiya lag jaati to?
Sheena- aise kaise lag jaati?aur lag bhi jaati to koi baat nahin
Benji- Koi baat nahin aise kaise? Sheena the stone is of ur height! itni height se jump nahin karna aaj ke baad!"
Sheena- ok ok relax nahin karoongey.
Benji calms down n then finds tht he was holding sheena too close, he steps back looking away.
Sh- Benji r u okay?
Benji- m sorry
he bents his head stil not looking at me.
Sh- sorry for what?
Benji-I hv hurt u a lot
Sh- nahin to? I try to cover up
Benji- main jaanta hoon sheena
Sh- benji woh..
Benji- Maine tumhe sumi ke baare main kuch nahin bataya, tumhe kitna bura laga hoga mujhey pata hai, afterall tumne bhi apni feelings mere saath share ki thi
Sh- ohh thnk god"Koi baat nahin hota hai, aur mujhey bilkul bhi bura nahin laga...infact..m happy for u!"
Benji looks up at this "Really?"
Sh- ofcoz
B- ok let me make it up then, i want to share my feelings today with u, i want to b frank wid u just like u were...wud u like to listen?
My heart wrenched at his words, he wanted to share his feelings with me! sure feelings abt sumi, but still he would do something which he perhaps dint do with anyone.So wat if it hurt!
Sh- ofcoz yeh bhi koi poochne ki baat hai
we both sat down on the sand
Benji plays with the sand n makes different shapes n figures, i waited for him to speak.
He stops n looks up after a while
Benji- u knw m really happy tht we all r back together
"yes me too but there is something tht is disturbing u, wat is it?"
Benji sighed "main suru se batata hoon" he waits for me to reply i nod not able to speak i knew he was going to talk abt sumi.
B-"main jab yahan se delhi gaya tha to RJ station main mujhey sumi miley"
The very words ached my heart, he had fallen in love with her 3 yrs back just after we had ended our relationship.
Benji- "I used to hate her then" Benji confessed
This shocked me n relieved me quite the same
Sheena- kya?
B- ya she was just like me, i dint like it
Sh- really?
B- ya she even used to talk like a guy u knw all tht, howz u duude n 'm cool' like tht
Sheena- hmmm tell me more about her
Benji started playing with the sand again "you want to know?" he asked without looking up, there was a certain hope in his voice
Sheena- ya
I want to knw her know the one whom u love.
Benji- she is one in a million, shes more like my friend, she understands me,sees right thru me i used to hate her coz of this very reason at first.
Sheena- ohh
with every word i understood his feelings he had the same feelings as i have for him, though it didn't matter that every word of his seemed to have cut through my heart
B- she used to even dress like a guy u knw but then she changed & became more like a girl & thts when i realised tht i actually started liking her.
Sh- when exactly?
Benji- after 1 year
Sh- 1 year!
B- ya quite a long time eh?
Sh- ya, par problem kya hai?
B- actually m not sure
Sh- matlab?
B- m not sure if i want to get further involved into this relationship should i take a step ahead n make her a part of my life..is she the one? how do i knw?
My world stood at a halt in front of me.Was it all planned by god, for me to answer this! how ironic The one whom i love is asking me whether he should go ahead in his relationship with other!
Sh- why arent u sure? wats stopping u?
Benji sighed "I want u all to meet her n tell me if shes the one" he paused "can she come here for a few days? so tht u all can meet her?"
I saw the anxiety in his face "sure" If it makes u happy, then anything!
B- thts great i will call her later then n ask to come over.
Sh- ok lets go n hv breakfast then.
B- yeah lets go
They enter the house, n head towards the Dining area.
Samrat, Uday, CJ n mayank were having breakfast
They greet each other.
Mayank was talking to CJ about his work n office. Samrat & uday were eating
"To guys aaj kya plan hai?"Benji asks grabbing a sandwhich n gets seated.
Sh- "pata nahin how abt staying in 2day, we can watch a movie n order pizza?"
S- thts a gr8 idea

S- yeah they had a long journey must b tired.

At tht moment RV enters
RV- Hey guys!
Everyone greet him. RV gets seated n looks at the breakfast table
RV-"Pancakes! nice!"
Ranvijay helps himself with some.
Sh- wheres diya?
RV- Shes in the shower.
Sh- ok
so RV did u propose to Diya?
RV stops & looks at Sheena
"ermm no"
CJ and mayank turn to the group at the change of topic.
CJ- why?
RV- well u knw, we cant b like tht,I mean it wont suit our career.
S- ohh
RV- ya though i dont think theres a need for tht, we both love each other and will always b together.
M- ya its not important to b engaged, you are committed to her thts more than enough.
RV- ya, Diya and i mutually agree with this decision
Sh- Diya agreed?
RV- ya, y wudnt she?
Sh- hmm no nothing!
RV- wat abt u Sheena found anyone?
Sh- not yet
RV- hope u find soon, coz its an amazing feeling to fall in love n b loved.
Benji changes the topic knowing tht sheena was not comfortable.
"Nupur aur Gunjan kahan hai?"
S- "woh donon kitchen main hain, juice lene gaye thi, pata nahin abhi tak aaye nahin"
CJ- "Areey haan yaad aaya, Kal Gunjan aur tere beech kya baat hui?"
Samrat- "kuch bhi to nahin'
Benji- Humse jhooth bolega?
Samrat- ok we r frnds now

RV- ya Diya was very tensed about it, I told her not to worry, gud tht u two solved the problem
Samrat forces a smile
Mayank- kuch aur hi baat hai,yeh to main jaanta hoon pata lagana padega.
He nudges CJ. CJ looks at him n then turns to Uday and nods.
At 3:00 after lunch
Samrat,RV n Benji were playing playstation. Diya & Gunjan were reading magazines.
Nupur was filling up sheena abt evrything tht happened the night before.
CJ, Maynk & Uday were up in CJ's room.
M-Guys yeh to clear hai ki samrat sach nahin bol raha
CJ- hmm
U- Lekin sach kya hai?
M-pata nahin samrat subah se ghayab tha na?
U- haan
M-zaroor kuch hua hai

U- hann woh to hui hai par dost ban gaye theres something wrong there,bhala 2 saal ki naraazgi ek raat main khatam?aisa kaise ho sakta hai!

U- kaise?
M- Dekho abhi to woh dost hain, unhen milane ki koshish karte hai, dheere dheere sach bhi samne aa jayega
CJ- ok aur tu bata nupur ko ab next kab propose karega?
