Samrat woke up early next morning.. VERY early.. so that he could meet gunjan in the morning! It was just 6 a.m. Samrat sat in bed rubbing his eyes.. "Chashmish..." were his first words.. "Chashmish..." he called again.. no reply.. he opened his eyes and looked around.. she wasnt in the room..! He walked down the staircase .. "Chashmish" he called for the third time.
"Haaan Samraat!" Gunjan screamed from the hall.. "Kya kar rahi ho?" Samrat said going into the hall.. "Mom bas abhi nikalne hi waali hai.. achha hua tum uth gaye.. Jakar ready ho jao!"
"What? Par kyun?" samrat asked. "Tum mom ko airport chhodne ja rahe ho!" Gunjan ordered.. "Nahi. Mujhe nahi jana!" Samrat said folding his arms on his chest. "Samrat tumse poochh kaun raha hai?" Gunjan said as she smiled and went to the kitchen.. Sam followed her there also.. "Chashmish.. main tumse baat karne ke liye jaldi utha! Ab.. tum mujhe jane bol rahi ho!" Samrat said angrily.. "Samraat.." gunjan said "Main toh yahi hun na.. kahi bhaag toh nahi rahi! Aur mom aaj ja rahi hai! Jao.. unhe chhodkar ao!"
"Chashmish.. tum bohot buri ho!!" he said as he left her in the kitchen.. "Woh toh main hun!" gunjan muttered as she smiled.. She set the breakfast on the table hurriedly..
Samrat came down ready in his suit and sat down on the table along with mom.. Gunjan served the breakfast .. and samrat tried to act as if he was still angry with gunjan..
"Samrat aur paratha?" she asked softly..
"No thanks.." he said concentrating on his food.. Gunjan felt a little sad but she knew samrat understood. He was just angry because he wouldnt be able to spend time with her.. He was such a kid.
"Thank you gunjan, for helping me pack!" Said mom..
"No problem mom." She said.
"And take care!"
"yes.."
Samrat and Mom were leaving. Gunjan touched moms feet and hugged her.. she smiled at samrat but he didnt return the smile..
" Gunjan..." samrat purposely emphasized on that word and continued.. "Main airport se seedha office hi jaunga!"
"Hmm.." was all gunjan could say.. she was a little sad as samrat had called her gunjan.. even though she knew it was all part of the act! And she left college in a glum mood!
"Hi Gunjan!" armaan exclaimed.
"hi.." she said softly.. trying to smile...
_____________________________________________
Samrat too was upset, with himself. He knew he had hurt gunjan. He never called her that! But today he did.. and he was pretty sure that it must have ruined her day! He felt bad for overreacting in the morning! It wasnt gunjans fault. She was absolutely right!
Samrat's POV:
Dude. Tujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha! Chashmish ko kitna bura lag raha hoga! Chal usse sorry bol de..! I talked to myself. As I entered college all the memories came back. Everything was the same.. I missed the college. The basketball court reminded me of my old days when me & benji would practise for long hours, and tease girls and flirt with them.. THE COOL DUDE samrat came back.. and then my sweet innocent chashmish whom I had once hit with a basketball.. purposely! I laughed at the thoughts and walked around looking into every class to find my chashmish.
Suddenly I could hear her voice as I neared the music room.. "Ofcourse! She would be learning music!" I went to say sorry and what I saw was......!
Chashmish was singing and playing the guitar as arman was holding her hand and making her play it properly.. he was so close to her.. my heart burnt with insecurities and I knew that that very moment. I was Jealous and there was no denying that.. I didnt want gunjan to go so close to any guy! EVER! This couldnt be happening.. Gunjan just played on and they both were laughing and staring at the guitar or maybe their hands.. They both were so close. Why? Couldnt they stay away and play the guitar! And why is armaan looking at chashmish like that? I dont like all this!!!!!!
I couldnt believe my eyes. I just went away not wanting to look at them again. I couldnt believe my eyes...I walked up to my car in complete shock. Why was this affecting me so much? I know Chashmish would NEVER EVER even think of anyone else. I know she loves me alot. And that armaan is just a friend. Whats the problem? Why am I so insecure? What is the matter with me? I think I should just go work.. or else the whole day I'll keep thinking about them. This isn't worth wasting time on.. Chashmish is mine.. only mine.! I'll tell her how I feel tonight... She is the only person who can change how I feel.!
_______________________________________________________
He tried to take that out of his head all day long but the only thing he could think about is Armaan & Gunjan together.. and he wasnt very happy about it.. He took out his anger on all the office staff that day and kept screaming at them if they made the slightest mistake or did anything he didnt like. Samrat was changing... Something wa staking over him.. but he didnt realise what.
He left office at 7 that day.. he wanted to rush home as fast as possible.. he reached home and rang the bell.. Gunjan opened the door with a wide smile. He was kind of relaxed and went in smiling.. and then all of a sudden he wished he hadnt come home. Armaan was sitting on the sofa and seeing samrat he got up and shook hands with samrat..
"Hi Samrat! Watsup?"
Samrat smiled fakely "Hi Armaan.. I have heard alot about you in the past two days!"
Armaan smiled at gunjan and then looked back at samrat. "I hope everything nice?"
Samrat laughed sarcastically at this.. "Yeah dude.. Each & Every Thing!" he said in a weird way. Armaan felt weird and smiled... Gunjan sensed something fishy.
Samrat finally spoke to gunjan, "Gunjan, could you please come in for two minutes?" he asked.
"Haan, Sure!" Gunjan said. Feeling very confused as he still called her gunjan and not chashmish. Wasnt he just kidding in the morning?
She excused herself from armaan for two mins and went in..
Inside samrat kept his breifcase and waited for gunjan to come to him. "Gunjan, Armaan yaha kya kar raha hai?" Samrat asked almost agitated with gunjan. "Sorry Samrat, woh main batana bhool gayi, woh armaan dinner pe—
"Oh.. tumne usse invite kiya? Ok fine. Enjoy." Samrat said. "Samrat, whats wrong with you? Tum aise kyun bol rahe ho?" Gunjan was hurt. Samrat wasnt like this at all.. whats wrong with him? Suddenly what happened? "Nothing Gunjan. You go your guest is waiting outside, jaldi jao!" he said going near the bathroom. "WHAT? SAMRATT PLZZZ!! WAIT! Why are you behaving this way? Have I done something?"
"What Gunjan..What do you want? I am coming home early everydayy!!! Just so that I can spend sometime with you! But you want to spend time with Armaan! GO AHEAD!!" he said as calm as he could be
"Samraat! Maine usse invite nahi kiyaa!!!! He invied himself ... and I couldnt say no! And common!! Ek din agar armaan dinner pe aata hai toh kya hua???!!!" Gunjan was very irritated.. Samrat wasnt screaming at her but she could see the anger burning in him.. Why was he so angry todayy!!
"Fine. So go Gunjan.. Enjoy!!!" Samrat said in his calm voice..
Armaan stood at the door hearing the last few comments...
"Umm.. woh.. gun..gunjan.." Armaan said..
Both of them stared at armaan is disbelief.. Gunjan was shocked and quite worried on how Armaan would react.. he must have felt so bad.. and it was quite visible on his face.
"Im sorry. I shouldnt be.. talking between you two.. But I guess it was my fault.. Im.. Im sorry.. and Ill leave.." armaan said as he turned around.
"Armaan.. nahi!" Gunjan said sternly..
She glared at samrat to say something.. and he did..
"Yeah Armaan.. stay.. or gunjan will get BORED!" Samrat said as he entered the bathroom and banged the door shut!
"Armaan.. samrat ki baaton ka bura mat maan na woh.. usse pata nahi kya hogaya and—
"Gunjan I really need to go.." he said seriously "hospital main emergancy hai!" ..
"Oh.. theek hai.. main tumhe darwaze tak chhodkar aati hun.."
"Nahi gunjan.. you should be with samrat! Bye." Armaan said as he left!
____________________________________________
Lets leave the two husband and wife to shed some private tears while we concentrate on something inconsequential.. something like -- Armaan had lied. There was no emergancy. He just couldnt see Samrat & gunjan fighting because of him.. He knew how difficult life had been for them.. He didnt want to make it worse. He just had to stay away from gunjan.!
____________________________________________
Now coming back to our sweet cute couple. Gunjan was devastated. She knew what armaan must be feeling and mostly she felt embarassed. Samrat had been devasted. Tears were coming out of her eyes and she was very upset with samrat. This wasnt the way a 28 year old should behave! And it was certainly not samrat! She wanted to know. Why? Why samrat was doing that? Why was he so upset with gunjan!
...... ......... .......... ........... .......... .............
On the other hand, Samrat was very upset, with gunjan, with himself and with everything happening around him. He didnt know how to behave anymore. He had become out of control on seeing armaan at home and couldnt control himself. He had blasted at gunjan when it wasnt her fault. It was Armaan who had invited himself. Gosh! Samrat hated armaan now. Because of him samrat blamed gunjan and now he felt ashamed of himself. They knew the truth, no misunderstandings, just their frustration with life was coming out! And this was just the beginning.

Precap:
Promo : Samrat walked in the room.. Gunjan was sitting on the bed.. She didnt say anything.. She got up and was going to leave the room when he caught her hand..
"Aisa Kab Tak Chalega?" Samrat said bluntly.
"Samrat yeh tum khud se hi poochho!"
"Khud se? Huh. Tum kamra chhodkar ja rahin thi aur mujhe keh rahi ho!" Samrat said walking towards the washroom. He just wanted to ignore it. He was too tired to talk!
"Ab kyun ja rahe ho! Batao toh! Meri kya galati hai?"
"Gunjan! Galati tumhari nahi meri hai! Mujhe company join hi nahi karni chahiye thi! Mujhe tumhari baat hi nahi sunni chahiye thi! Yahi galati kar gaya!"
"Achha!! Samrat.. kaam ke saath saath personal life bhi hoti hai! Sab dono balance karte hain!!"
"Nahi Aaata Mujhe! Roz tum ek hi baat kehti ho ki main tumhe time nahi deta!! Tumhari hi wajah se yeh sab ho raha hai! Hum khush the na Pune main! Phir yeh sab kyun kiya gunjan! BATAO?" He screamed..
Gunjan shuddered.. she had never seen samrat like this!
