"ermm no actually its just tht sheena n sumi dont seem to be going well and we thought its us friends day out...and well u knw sumi is not exactly a part of our group.....its sounding pathetic i knw...... i better go invite her." cj got up feeing quite ashamed.

"ohh oke thts great then." CJ said.
"Great?, y i dont think so" Samrat interrupted, his tone was quite sarcastic.
"yeah actually" benji tried to clear out.
"chill i was kidding..its gr8 u r going out on a date with her" Samrat grinned.
"date whos going out with whom?" Nupur joined them.
"Benji with sumi" Mayank replied.
"thts not great at all!" Nupur made a face.
"why?" benji asked.
"well sumi is there with you all ur life but we frnds are together only this month you should spend time with us and not with her." Nupur said.
"ohh comeon nupur as if we r spending time with him goin out shopping only us gals?" CJ questioned nupur.
"well its us frnds going out together, we will b discussing stuff abt our lives ahem i mean hving a lil fun there ...it will b sort of catching up with each other."nupur reasoned.
"Nupur agreed with wat u just said but benji too can go out with sumi i mean its just one day and anyways meeting old frnds doesnt mean leaving the present out.just think sumi came here to meet all of us, and well she must be getting bored with her old aunt to live with." Mayank said with a bit of humour to his tone.
"anyways. CJ lets go we will get late or else" Nupur said.
"But wat abt us?" Samrat asked.
"exactly" mayank agreed.
"You can live without us for one day or else ....find a date for urselfs."Nupur said grinning.
Nupur and CJ left."we will visit the famous Roma's boutique and the rose beauty parolur its really gud too" Nupur chatted on along with CJ.
"Girls will be girls"Samrat sighed.
Sheena, Dia and gunjan joined nupur and CJ.They all seemed to be discussing something.
Dia turned to the 3 of us."hey guys where are others?"
"Uday just left, dunno abt RV guess he's in his room."Samrat replied.
"ohh oke well we all are going out shopping and its a long plan together out so we were wondering if u guys meet us at the disco...will tht be fine?"

RV's pov
All us guys were sitiing at the living room watching the football match, truly speaking it was heck loads boring, i looked at my fellow friends to find them looking at the screen with no interest.
oke this was it, we could not let this day go a waste.
I switched off the TV, a lot of 'heys' and 'wat the hell was tht' came on me.
I stood up."well guys just coz all the gals hv gone out we cant spend the day like this,lets do something fun"
"u r right" samrat said standing up too.
"Benji wat time is ur date with sumi?" Mayank asked Benji.
"I dont hv a date with her."Benji mumbled.
"wat! but u said.." samrat asked.
"well ya i had to lie else CJ would hv invited sumi and well it was just friends day out, they might not like sumi's presence among them.....
RV's POV ends

"sure go ahead."rv replied.he and samrat got seated
"well guys its just tht wat do u think abt sumi? is she the right one for me?"
"we are not the ones to decide tht its you, how do u feel abt her?" RV asked.
"well i dont knw..at first i used to hate her she was a tomboy then, and well she changed became girly and then i realised tht i actually like her and i started going out with her." Benji replied.
"physical attraction?" Mayank asked.
"No! i like her in nature too i mean shes a nice gal" Benji mumbled.
"one sec u mean wen she turned from a tomboy to tht like gal she changed in nature too?"
"not exactly but well i ...i ...agh i dont knw it just happened." Benji ended.
"oke oke lets c u hated her at first" Samrat started.
"ya only coz she understood me too well...sort of the one who spoke my heart out in words." Benji cleared.
"hmm so u were irritated with tht but when she changed u got attracted to her..just a normal thing for guys...now tell us wat makes u feel tht shes the one?"samrat asked.
"well just tht shes got evrything in her..looks..talent we hv got same tastes,we agree on almost evrything and tht we r happy together...shes a nice gal" Benji said.
"oke then at makes u think tht shes not the one?"Samrat asked.
Benji throwed a 'pathetic'" kind of look at samrat, but then thought about it
"hmm its just tht something has always been missing u knw how theres a spark in every relationship? i dont feel anything as such eventhough we hv crossed a certain stage of our relationship, i dint feel anything special...not the way"i stopped midway realising wat foolish thing i was just gonna say...not the way i felt with sheena did i reall mean it? just slipped out but thts the truth surely...woah stop u need to stop thinking this way sheena and u are over long back chapter's closed.
"not the way?" mayank asked.
"nothing"i said
"listen its better if u ask such questions to gals anyways they r very emotional and sensitive to family n relations stuff" RV said.
"Really?" Uday asked
"yeah even dia is getting very..."RV stopped midway"anyways guys lets leave the gals out for one day! and hv some fun?" RV switched the surroundings to a lighter mood.
"yes u r right we need to prove tht we can live without them" Samrat said.
"Yeah well its not tht hard look at me" Uday said.
Everyone broke into laughter.
Roma's boutique
3:00pm
Gunjan and Nupur were waiting for Dia and Sheena to step out of the trial room who had tried on many dresses but none had satisfied their tastes. CJ meanwhile was checking out for more dresses at the rack.
Dia stepped out from the cabin.
"Guys how do i look?" Dia asked she was wearing a one-shouldered dress its was black striped at the corners and was a blend of Red, pink and white patterned design, it looked great on her, it fitted around her waist, the dress showed a bit of her thighs making guys go mad at her beautiful body all in all dia looked extremely hot n upbeat in tht dress.
"amazing!" Nupur exclaimed.
Just then sheena stepped out too."wow Dia u look gr8 in tht dress"
"thnx" Dia replied "n same to u"
seeing tht sheena looked like a cute little angel in her black denim skirt and green top.
"wow u two look really amazing in these" CJ complimented them.
"thnx, oke lets go afterall theres lot more to do"Sheena suggested.
"yup lets go" I turned with tht to the exit of the shop.
"CJ wait for us we hv to pay first" Dia called.
"am not going anywhere, just taking some fresh air and the beautiful sunshine" I stepped out as the sunrays touched my skin warmed me..."i love this feeling"
"me too" I turned to find Nupur standing next to me.
"The weather's gr8 isnt it?" she asked.
"yeah it is" I replied
"CJ can i ask you something?" Nupur asked.
"erm sure" I hesitated.
"What is it tht at the moment u want the most in ur life, something tht u can give ur whole career ur whole life for?" Nupur asked i looked at her all the while she asked me this question her eyes held a spark, a shine.
"I...I dont knw i hv got evrything"I replied.
"No CJ remember tht day we all prayed for something something tht makes our life incomplete?"Nupur asked as tht of reassuring a kid abt his promise.
"Yeah" I said
"so wat is it?"Nupur asked again.
love "Parents i guess"I answered though it was a complete lie...i dint want my parents to be with me...when they hadnt all my childhood, i dint need them now too.
"ohh parents yes parents but we hv to leave them sometime someday to become a seperate self to learn to exist individually in this world.truly oneness is bliss" Nupur said
I for one was completely shocked at this i felt someone else speak as Nupur, such meaningful talks such psychological thinking and nupur ...it was quite a surprise.
"you are right...now tell me wat did u ask for tht day?" I asked hoping to get a true answer unlike mine.
"I thought it was obvious..."Nupur said surprised there was no fooling in her expression.
"No" I replied.
"Mayank" Nupur closed her eyes and smiled.
"Mayank?u to r together right?" I asked confused.
"CJ mayank is the best thing tht has ever happened to me, after my dad's death he was the one who supported me all the way emotionally mentally or any other way u can think of, he has made my life beautiful, and today i can proudly say tht he is the world to me, without him my life would be incomplete without him the world would hv no meaning, without him i wouldnot exist." I looked at Nupur all this while her eyes were closed, her smile her face glowing, i had heard abt love thought abt love today i saw it i felt it and it touched my heart so deep tht my doubt had been turned to utmost reality love truly is the most amazing thing tht can happen to a person.
"I asked god to let us be this way, I fear CJ for the day when mayank is not with me, I fear each moment ,when i look in his eyes i fear sometimes i see the same fear in his eyes too, we keep promising each other tht watever happens we will b together, but who has seen the future?"Nupur said and this time when she looked at me i could feel the fear she was talking abt see it in her eyes.
"you and mayank are meant to be together nothing i say nothing can break this beautiful bond,i'll pray for both of you" I assured her.
She sighed and then smiled."thnx CJ, u knw i dint tell this to anyone u r the first...not even gunjan,it feels good to let out ur fears, to share them."
"thts wat i always tell u to do, dont i?and well if u listen to me...let ur fears aside coz then life will b difficult to live...fearing the future will only make ur present tense"
"u r right"
"Comeon lets go guys!" Dia called
