They headed down into the party..and most of the guests had arrived by then..Kashish was happy to meet some old friends..and introduced Sujal to some of the friends she knew as they were curious as to who this was..Sujal met them with a smile and seemed normal and unaffected..Kashish was so happy to see this..she felt so good to see how he was behaving so naturally infront of her friends..when Rohan took Sujal away from there to introduce him to some of his friends..Kashish got into conversation with Sia and their old friends..on the other side we see Sidd walking in to the house with a girl..both hand in hand as they walked in with a smile..Kashish noticed him there and felt a little uneasy to see him..but was curious to know..she excused herself and asked Sia to join her for a moment...
Sia: kya hua Kashish...
Kashish: tumne party me Sidd ko bhi bulaya hai..
Sia looks towards the entrance and sees him there..
Sia: ohh i am so sorry Kashish..shayad Rohan ne hi usse invite kiya tha..lekin...tum pareshan kyun horahi ho..woh aage badh chuka hai..aur ab tumhari bhi shaadi ho chuki hai
Kashish: hmm...shayad tum sahi keh rahi ho..
Sia: don't worry Kashish..all will be ok..i am sure ke kuch problem nahin hogi..Sidd has moved on..tumhe nazar aaraha haina..aur woh apni zindagi me khush hai
Kashish: achcha hai...waise bhi he is a good guy..
Sia: yeah he is Kashish..isliye don't worry..and enjoy yourself..hmm...
Kashish nods whilst Sia smiles at her..and then leaves as someone calls her..Kashish picks up a soft drink for herself whilst watching Sujal from a distance...she was so lost in Sujal that she failed to realise Sidd was calling her..
Sidd: hey Kashish...kahan kho gayi tum
Kashish: hi Sidd...kahi to nahi..how are you?..
Sidd; i'm fine..tum kaisi ho?
Kashish: main thik hoon...
Sidd; its good to see you here...hows life?
Kashish: busy...with Sujal..
Sidd: Sujal..you mean...wahin..jo tumhari behen ka pati hai right?
Kashish: hmm..meri shaadi Sujal se ab ho gayi hai...Maahi is no longer..
Sidd: what!!!...Maahi...is no more...i am really sorry to hear about this..lekin tumne Sujal se shaadi karli? i mean how?...why?..didn't you love someone already?
Kashish: jisse pyar kiya ussi se to shaadi ki...please excues me..
Sidd; ek second ek second...tumhare kehne ka matlab yeh hai ke tum..Sujal se pyar karti thi...aur tumne muje Sujal ke liye reject kiya tha? oh god this is crazy
Kashish: janti hoon...I am crazy for Sujal..
Sidd: you are crazy for Sujal..but woh tumhari behen ka pati tha..how can you be in love with him?..i mean you still loved him even after they were married and refused me...
Kashish: ise samajne ke liye tumhe meri tarah kisi se pyaar karna hoga..
Sidd; tum kehna kya chahti ho...tum jaanti ho na..that i was in love with you..aur main bohat hi mushkil se aage badha hoon..it has took me a lot of time..isliye tum mujse yeh nahin kehsakti ke maine kissi se pyar nahin kiya hai...
Kashish: shayad zindagi hamari itni ulaj gayi hai hum khud bata nahi sakte kyunki hum jisse pyaar karte hai woh kisi aur se..
Sidd: shayad...but anyway..jo hogaya so hogaya..i don't really know what it was..but yes love is crazy and makes u do crazy things..but anyway i'm happy for you...
Kashish: thank you...I am also happy ki tumhe koi naya partner mil gaya..now excuse me..
Sidd: yeah sure...
Sidd just looks at her as she lowers her gaze and walks away from there...he still wasn't able to get over the fact that the person she loved was Sujal...he came out of his thoughts as he headed back with a drink..to here her girlfriend was heading...Sujak noticed this conversation taking place between Sidd and Kashish...and felt a little uneasy..not knowing why...maybe he was just looking out for Kashish..as he knew she was never interested in Sidd...or that was what he may have wanted to think...
Kashish walked upto Sia and stood beside her with a smile..as she joined in with their coversations whilst occasionally looking at Sujal who was also gazing at her..which she noticed a few times..but then lowered his gaze and turned away every time she caught him looking..soon all headed for dinner..picking up their plates..Sujal who was talking to Rohan felt a hand on his shoulder..he looked back and saw Kashish holding a plate of food..
Kashish: tumhara khana...have a nice dinner..
Sujal: tumne kuch khaya?
Kashish: main abhi Sia ke saath kar lungi...pehle tumhara to ho jaye..
Sujal looks towards Sia and sees Rohan making her sit down and getting her a plate of food..as he knelt infront of her..making her eat..
Sujal: Sia to kha rahi hai..Rohan ke saath..tum khana le aao..hum dono saath me kha lenge..
Kashish: tum...mere saath..
Sujal: kyun?..koi problem hai..tum chaho to unhe join karsakti ho..main bas aise hi kehraha tha..its ok tum jao...
Kashish: nahi mera woh matlab nahi tha...main meri plate leke aati hoon..
Sujal: theek hai..main yahin rukta hoon..
She looks at him for a moment and then walks towards the table..picking up her plate..whilst Sujal settled on the sofa..Kashish walked upto him and saw him sat down..he looked up at her and then moved aside making room for her on the sofa beside him..whilst she just stood there looking down at him..
Sujal: tum baith sakti ho
Kashish: ofcourse...
She smiles a little as she comes and settles beside him with her plate..she felt slightly nervous and tried to relax herself..before starting to eat when she saw him begin too..they both sat silently eating whilst stealing glances occasionally..when he looked at her..standing up..
Sujal: can i get you something to drink?
Kashish: just a glass of water ple..
Sujal: ok..
He walks upto the table picking up two glasses of water..as he heads back passing one to her...
Kashish: thanks sujal...you know what...aaj kitne din bad humne saath me dinner kiya hai...
Sujal just looks at her as he settles down..sipping his water...
Sujal: hmm..jaanta hoon..kabhi kabhi mauka nahin milta..
Kashish: tumhe nahi lagta hume nikalna chahiye ...mera matlab waqt..
Sujal: hmmm..main apni taraf se poori koshish karunga..
Kashish; yeh koshish kabhi rukne mat dena...shayad isse kisi ki aas bandhi hai..
Sujal just looks at her and then looks down sipping his water...
Sujal: shayad muje thoda waqt lagega Kashish..
Kashish: kahi aisa na ho ki meri zindagi bhi Maahi ki tarah kam pad jaye..
Sujal just looks at her..his eyes grew wide at her sudden words..they seemed to pierce his heart..as he turned towards her..
Sujal: Kashish please..dubara yeh baat kabhi mat kehna..tum nahin jaanti ke maine kitni mushkil se khud ko sambhala hai..main Maahi ko to kho diya..ab tumhe nahin kho sakta...
Kashish: koshish karungi puri zindagi saath dene ki...lekin saath dena mere akele ke haath me to nahi...
Sujal: tum akeli nahin ho Kashish..maine kaha tha na ke main tumhare saath hoon..
Kashish: vaada..
Sujal just looks at her as he nods his head...
Sujal: hmm..vaada
Kashish: thanks...ab tum dinner karo..mera ho gaya hai..
Sujal: mera bhi hogaya..i am full now..thanks..
He places the plate aside and then takes hers placing hers down too..Sia and Rohan were observing their small interaction with a smile from the distance as there small gestures made them feel as though everything was fine..
