"I guess…I was wrong, he doesn't love me" Shilpa said with her teary eyes.
"I think he does, I don't know why is he acting so rude but I am pretty sure he does" Her best friend Muskaan replied patting Shilpa's back.
"No, if he did than he would have told me…I've already told him that I love him, but he didn't reply back and just left" Shilpa sighed.
"Do you want me to talk to him?" Muskaan asked.
"No it's ok, aur waise bhi pyaar mein expectations toh nahi hoti na…so his happiness is my happiness" Shilpa smiled through her tears.
"Awwww" Muskaan hugged her friend.
-----------------------
"Rahul, are you sure she isn't mad at me? I was so rude…I didn't mean to act that way" Armaan said pacing around in the room.
"I am not sure but Muskaan said Shilpa was really upset" Rahul replied.
"I did this for her birthday, I want to make it special for her…hope everything works out" Armaan said getting worried.
"Dude, your plans have never failed so quit worrying" Rahul said patting his back.
"This is about love, so I'm kind of nervous" Armaan smiled.
"Don't be nervous, she loves you so she can't be mad at you" Rahul winked.
"Let's go and see if she is mad or not" Armaan said heading out the door.
"Shilpa coffee…" Muskaan handed her the coffee and noticed her lost in deep thoughts.
"You need to stop thinking too much yeah?" Muskaan said sitting beside her and turning on the TV.
"I was thinking to go…" Before Shilpa could answer the door bell rang "I'll get it" saying that she went and opened the door. Seeing Armaan at the door, her heart skipped a beat. She loved him a lot…but there was no point coz he didn't love her back. That's what she thought "Come in" she said softly.
"Leave the door open, Rahul is coming" Armaan said when Shilpa tried closing the door.
"Ok" She walked in with him.
"Hey Muski what's up?" Armaan asked sitting on the couch.
"Nothing…just chilling" Muskaan smiled.
"Hey guysss" Rahul yelled coming in.
"Why are you so loud Rahul?" Muskaan asked rolling her eyes.
"I'm sorry but I am not boring like you" Rahul answered back.
"And who said being loud makes you un-boring?" Muskaan asked getting mad.
"You both need to stop" Armaan said and looked at Shilpa standing there.
"Excuse me guys" Saying that Shilpa went to her room. She didn't feel comfortable in front of Armaan. She felt awkward and moreover, she felt hurt.
"Muskaan…is she mad at me?" Armaan whispered sitting next to Muskaan.
"Yeah, kind of…and she is so quiet these days, she is not the bubbly Shilpa anymore" Muskaan informed. Armaan felt bad for coz it's his fault that Shilpa has became all quiet.
"You better do something…or I'll do something bad to you…I can't see her like this" Muskaan said.
"Tonight…" Armaan grinned.
"Ok we should go and get things ready, Muskaan you are needed there so you will have to come" Rahul said.
"Yup, sorry Shilpa but you'll have to be alone for sometime" Armaan mumbled.
"I'll be back" Armaan said and went to Shilpa's room.
"Shilpa…" Armaan called out softly.
"Yes?" Shilpa turned around.
"I'm sorry for…behaving rude, I didn't mean to do that" he apologized.
"It's ok Armaan" she quickly replied. She doesn't want to talk to him coz it will only hurt her more.
"You still didn't forgive me huh…its ok I'll wait" Armaan smiled and left.
"How can I be mad at you, when it was my entire fault for thinking that you loved me" She whispered to herself.
"Shilpa, I have to go for some work…so I'll be back later" Muskaan said standing at the door.
-------------------------------
"Mom, I am coming back" Shilpa was on phone, while packing her clothes. She was going back to New York. She can't live here anymore.
"Yes mom everything is fine, I don't want to stay here anymore…I miss you mom" She cried on phone.
"Shilpa , clam down…will you tell me what happened?" her mom asked getting worried.
"I'll tell you once I come there mom, my flight is in 2 hours, and I have to do packing…" Shilpa replied wiping her tears.
"Bye mom" saying that she hung up the phone and started packing. She tried calling Muskaan to let her know that she is leaving but Muskaan was unreachable She informed some other friends, who were there to help her pack and stuff.
"Shilpa, please don't leave" Nikki requested.
"I have to Nikki" Shilpa smiled.
"Shilpa you HAVE to tell us what happened that you made this sudden decision" Anjali said making Shilpa sit on the bed.
"Nothing happened guys" Shilpa said looking down.
"We won't let you go till you tell us" Atul said.
"Ok, I'll tell you guys…It's about Armaan" She started.
"Armaan, I want to tell you something" Shilpa yelled in his ears, as they were in the club and the music was really loud.
"What?" Armaan yelled back.
"I have to tell you something, can you come outside?" She asked.
"Ok" both of them walked out the club.
"Is everything ok?" Armaan asked looking at Shilpa's nervous face.
"Armaan I…I umm…I love you" Shilpa said closing her eyes.
"Shilpa…are you ok? What are you saying?" Armaan asked.
"I'm telling the truth Armaan…I really do love you" Shilpa said "I thought you loved me too"
Without saying anything Armaan left. Shilpa was heartbroken thinking how wrong she was.
"That's the silly reason?" Anjali chuckled.
"Anjie please, and after that night…the next day he was very rude to me" Shilpa had tears in her eyes.
"Hey Anjie, as long as I know Armaan has arranged…" Before Atul spills the beans, Nikki covered his mouth.
"Atul!! Armaan has done wrong with Shilpa he shouldn't have done it" Nikki said trying to make Atul realize that Shilpa is not suppose to know what Armaan is up to.
"Ok guys, I have to go now…I will miss you guys very much" Shilpa said hugging everyone.
"Shilpa you can't leave…at least talk with Armaan once na" Nikki said.
"I don't have anything to say…and I don't wish to see him anymore" Saying that Shilpa picked up her purse from the bed to make sure she had her passport and other important things.
"Guys does Armaan know that she is leaving?" Nikki whispered.
"Nope…" Atul replied.
"We need to stop her" Anjali said walking towards Shilpa.
"Shilpa, did you call Muskaan?" Anjali asked.
"Yeah, but she isn't picking up" Shilpa replied.
"Call Armaan then" Nikki suggested.
"No Nikki, I already told you that I don't want to talk to him…I'm getting late bye guys" Shilpa smiled at them and walked out the house. Atul, Anjali and Nikki didn't know what to do. They tried calling Armaan to let him know Shilpa is leaving but he wasn't picking up. They watched as Shilpa got in the car and left.
"Damn it…we need to tell go tell Armaan NOW" Anjali stated.
----------------------------
"Is everything ready guys?" Armaan asked Rahul and Muskaan.
"Yup…Muskaan call her here" Rahul grinned.
"Ohh…too many missed calls from Shilpa…and Anjie" Muskaan said looking at her phone.
Muskaan called Shilpa but her phone was busy. Then she called Anjali who informed them that Shilpa is going back to US and has already left for the airport.
"Armaan…She left" Muskaan said.
"What? Where did she go?" Armaan asked.
"She is going back to US…you need to go to the airport to stop her" Muskaan said and her phone rang "Oh wait she's calling.
"Shilpa…where are you? You can't leave like this?" Muskaan said without giving Shilpa the chance to talk.
"Muskaan I want to see you once before I leave…Where you at?" Shilpa asked.
"Perfect" Muskaan grinned and showed thumbs up sign to Armaan "Note down the address…" Muskaan gave her the address.
"She is coming here…" Muskaan jumped in happiness.
"Ok you guys can wait in here…as the guests are here as well and I will go outside to get her" Armaan beamed in happiness "7 minutes to go" Armaan sighed.
He waited impatiently; only 5 minutes were left for her birthday. Just then, he saw a car being parked. It was her. Armaan was mesmerized by her beauty as she got out of the car. She wore White dress, which he was dying to see her in.
"I don't get it…why did Anjali and Nikki forced me to wear this dress" Shilpa mumbled to herself as she locked the car.
"Sh..Shilpa" Armaan called her, only 4 minutes were left.
"Armaan" Shilpa's heart skipped a beat seeing him all dressed up in black tux.
Before she could say anything, Armaan wrapped a black cloth on her eyes. He held her hand gently and led her inside. Shilpa was too surprised by his gestures to say anything. They stopped at a spot. Armaan removed the cloth from her eyes, but her eyes were still closed.
"Shona, open your eyes" Armaan whispered in her ears. As she opened her eyes; she found herself and Armaan under a spot light. Then she heard countdowns…5…4…3…2…1…
"Happy Birthday Shona" Armaan whispered again. The lights came on and she saw many familiar faces around. They all sang happy birthday song and clapped.
"Armaan…what is all this?" She asked looking everywhere but at him. She realized that he was holding her hand, so she took her hand away from him.
"A birthday party I suppose" He chuckled.
"You didn't need to do all this" Shilpa said turning around and making her way outside.
"Wait Shona…" he held her hand before she walks out.
"Shilpa, let's cut the cake" Muskaan said.
"Muskaan...step 3 before step 2 please" Armaan smiled.
"I'll be back" Muskaan winked at the confused Shilpa.
"I know I've hurt you a lot, and I apologize for that. I was not doing that on purpose. Actually, I had to do it…just to make this day special for you. 10th December, My angel, My Shona was born…so I want to do whatever I can to make this day special for you. I love you more than anything in this world Shona" Shilpa was shocked by hearing this from him.
Armaan bent on his knees took the ring from the box that Muskaan had just brought and proposed Shilpa. "Will you marry me?" he was scared on whether she would accept him or not. Shilpa was speechless and had tears of happiness in her eyes. She made him stand up and nodded in yes. He slid the ring in her soft finger tenderly and embraced her tightly. "I love you" he whispered "I love you too" she whispered back.
"You forgave me?" He asked coming out of the hug.
"I was never mad at you" She replied placing her palm on his cheeks.
"Happy Birthday once again" He pulled her closer and locked his lips with hers giving her the most passionate kiss.
"Cake time!!" Atul, Anjali and Nikki yelled from behind.
Armaan gave them a killing look for disturbing their kiss.
"Thank you for making my birthday special" Shilpa said.
"I promise to be by your side" Armaan smiled and kissed her forehead.
