Chapter XX
Piya: don't you think that you are cheating your girlfriend…. You should not be with another girl…. That too this much close….
Abhay: she doesn't have any problem with this….
Piya: but I have….
Abhay: what?
Piya: yeah… I feel like I am betraying my boyfriend…. So would you please leave me now….?
Abhay left piya with a sudden jerk. He was shocked to listen that piya had someone else other than him in her life. He thought that piya was just trying to make him jealous. Last night he listened it himself that she was crying in pain that he said he loves someone else….. So that means she was falling for him but now piya said she loves someone else. What does this mean?
Abhay: boyfriend? What rubbish? You are just trying to make me jealous…..
Piya: why would I? I really have a boyfriend who loves me a lot…..
Abhay: who? Kabir….
Piya: no…. Kabir is a friend….
Abhay: then who….
Piya: jay…..
Abhay: jay…?
Piya: yeah…. Jay…. My childhood friend cum boyfriend…. He is in Indore…. He will soon be here after completing his research work there.
Abhay: jay…. but you never told about him….
Piya: as you said…. You never asked….
Abhay: I don't believe….
Piya: so what can I do….?
Abhay: I know…. All this is out of jealousy and the truth is that….
Piya: that I love….
Abhay: that you love….
Piya: jay….
Abhay: fine I want to see any proof…
Piya: what do you mean that you want proof? You also never gave me proof….. About….about liana….
Abhay: okay if I will show you then you would also do the same…..
Piya: okay…..
Abhay rushed to his drawer where lots of cards were kept that many girls gave him to become his girlfriends. He took them out and shown to piya telling that they were all given by her girlfriend. Piya was sad to see all this so she quietly asked him to come with her to her hostel to see the proof…..
Abhay took piya with him and drove to the hostel. He was eager to see the proofs because was really not able to believe that piya could have any boyfriend. He was trying to figure how come piya had a boyfriend and why was she crying if she really loves someone else. But on the other hand, piya was thinking that what she would show abhay. She had nothing to show. Jay was like her friend who had just treated her like his friend. She never had a boyfriend and never got any card or letter so now what would she do….
As they reached the hostel, piya went to her room followed by abhay whose head was held high as he could feel that piya was lying but still he had to ensure it. Piya rushed to her cupboard and searched there to find something. Soon she found something that would work which had a bonus over it. She found a romantic novel which jay gifted her and he had signed over the first page with a beautiful message over it. It also had one of the love letters which jay used to write to her girlfriend….Angelina Jolie….but it had no name about the receiver.
She turned herself and faced abhay with a smile that showed her triumphant. She showed abhay the book who was watching it as if he could have burnt it with his gaze if he could. She was happy after so long but still somewhere she was feeling guilty for hurting abhay now. She could see that abhay was not happy with the fact that she had a boyfriend. But still her head was high and his was low. Abhay quietly kept the novel on the table and left the room with his head watching the floor as if he wanted that the ground opens and he could get into it now. He was literally burning with the taste of his own medicine.
Piya (in her thoughts): now…. I hope Mr. Raichand…. Would surely like the taste of his own medicine….
Abhay went to the jungle to take out his frustration. He screamed, banged himself and ran so that he could control himself.
Abhay: abb toh tumhe khush hona chahiye ki who Kisi aur se pyaar karti hai…. Yahi toh tum chahte they…. Ki who tumse dur rahe par abb tum itna dukhi kyon ho rahe ho….. Abhay raichand….. Tum ek pyaar mein doobe insaan ki tarah kyon behave kar rahe ho ab…. Par ab mujhe aisa kyon lag raha hai jaise ki my world has been ended…. Just before my eyes….
Though being a 300 years old vampire, abhay was acting completely like a human. It is true that love can change pebbles into flowers, fire into ashes and demon into angel….
Abhay: kaash…. Kaash ki main tum ko sab kuch bataa pataa…. Ki I love you not anybody else but only you…. You are the meaning of my dark life…. My light…. Piya…. I want to tell you that I really love you….
He ran to one of the river which separated their territory from the others. He took out his t-shirt and jumped in the fast flowing river and swan till he was exhausted. He came out of the river and sat on one of the rocks thinking about the last night when he was in piya's room.
Abhay: kal tak toh aisa nahi tha…. Kal raat ko piya tum ro rahi thi…. Pain mein thi…. Isliye ki Maine tumhe yeh kaha ki I love someone else….. Tumhi hi toh mirror mein Kah rahi thi ki you feel something for me….. Then ye jay kahan se aa gayaa….. Who is this jay…? I have to find about him….. If is right for her or not….
He stood up and wore his t-shirt back. With a heavy dead heart, He went back to his home and told aleena about all this. She couldn't believe that piya had a boyfriend but she had to. Abhay asked to aleena to plan something and get info about this boyfriend of piya's….
Aleena organized a pajama party at her house and called all the girls like misha, piya, panchi, Ruhi. She secretly told misha to find info on jay…. Piya's mystery boyfriend and on the other hand piya asked misha to help her on finding info on liana… abhay's mystery girlfriend.
Soon the girls arrived at raichand mansion in their night dresses. Haseena and Chand were out for meeting with the superiors. Only abhay was there whom the girls asked not to disturb so he went for hunting.
Ruhi had brought some face packs. Panchi brought some movies while misha brought a small plan-chit board to add some fun. Girls applied the face packs and started watching movies with cola and popcorns. Misha and piya were sulking as they didn't want to put face packs so they soon removed it.
Misha: girls…. Tum log toh meri aur piya ki puri raat kharaab kar dogi…. Come on remove all this lipa-poti.
Ruhi: mishu…. Tumhe toh kuch bhi nahi pata…. Yeh lipa-poti nahi hai…. It's called face pack….
Piya: yeah…. Yeah…. Whatever…. Remove it now….
All the others went to the washroom to remove it leaving misha and piya. Misha took out the plan-chit board from the bag and did all the arrangements till others come out.
Aleena: mish…. What's all this?
Misha: fun stuff…. Darling….
Piya: yeah…. We are going to do some hocus-pocus….
Ruhi: hey…. Bhoot bula rahi ho…. Kahin woh….
Misha (giggling): kahin woh Ruhi ko khaa na jaye…. Bachao…..
Piya: tracky…. Dar mat…. Hum acche bhoot bulayenge not gandhe….
Aleena: girls…. Just be careful…. Mom and dad ko pata nahi chalna chahiye….
Misha: aleena…. Chill yaar….
Soon misha started to chant some hymns and Ruhi asked her to call handsome boy ghost for her. Misha acted as if she really called one but she was just acting. Next piya asked to call her mother's ghost. This time misha did it seriously as she didn't want to hurt piya. Soon sugandh's ghost came and wind started blowing fast, windows started clashing. They fixed it all and saw movements of the coin on its own. They understood that, sugandh has arrived.
Misha: piya…. Your mom came….. Ask whatever you want…..
Piya: mom…. You are here…. I missed you…. Just tell me…. What is happening is correct or not? I am so confused…..
Other girls were just watching with their lips sealed. Ghost made some movements with the coin and misha noted all this on the notepad.
It said: 'I love you too…. "Jo jaisa dikhta hai waisa hota nahi hai, jo jaisa hota hai waisa dikhta nahi hai"'
As soon as the ghost departed, the room came back to normal. Everyone was dumbfounded after listening what misha read. Piya was trying to find what her mother meant. Every time she came and gave her new puzzle. She wasn't able to sort first one till she got another one. Now, the biggest mystery was that what her mother said was a clue or something else.
"Jo jaisa dikhta hai waisa hota nahi hai, jo jaisa hota hai waisa dikhta nahi hai"
Ruhi tried to change the topic as now she was getting frightened.
Ruhi: kya hum kuch aur nahi khel sakte….?
Misha: seedhe se kaho na ki tum dar gayi tracky….
Panchi: let's play truth and dare….
Aleena: yeah…. That's better….
Piya (thought): haan mujhe bhi kuch truth janane hai….
Ruhi: yaay….
All the girls sat in a circle over the floor with their pillows. Panchi spinned the bottle and it came to misha.
Piya: truth or dare….
Misha: misha dobriyal sirf dare mein vishwaas karti hai kyonki who khud truth kabhi nahi bolti…
Ruhi: mein doongi dare….
Misha: please tracky…. Kuch daring kam hi Dena nahi toh dare mein main tumhare murder kar doongi….
Ruhi: ok…. Jaao aur kitchen se kuch khaane ko chura lao…. I am hungry…
Aleena: Ruhi…. U could ask me…. Misha I am coming to help you…. Wait for me…
Both of them went down stairs and piya excused herself from others and sneaked in abhay's room. She found the room empty and totally engrossed in darkness.
Piya lit the room dimly and started searching for some clue about liana. The room was quite well settled for a boy but since abhay was elegant so this could be. She searched some of the drawers and shelves and at last her eyes fell upon the open cupboard. She quickly went near it and found some photographs that were half visible under the pile of clothes. She quickly pulled them out and to her surprise they were half torn portraits of two girls in which one of them looked a Xerox copy of piya. She was unable to figure how this could be possible as she never had a portrait in any vintage gown and she never saw the other girl sitting beside her. She kept those photos beside and searched more and found another portrait of a girl who was standing next to abhay and both were looking as if they were in love. There were some crushed red roses kept with the photo and it was also looking as if it was quite old photo. Her mind was now muddled up with lots of emotions and questions.
Who was the girl beside her in the photo? Who was the girl beside abhay in the photograph? How that photo was possible as she never had a portrait? Lots of questions but no answers.
Her heart was filled with pain when she saw abhay with that girl in the photo. He was really in love with someone. Was that girl, liana? Her heart wrenched when she thought about it. Suddenly she came out of her thoughts and took out her cell phone and clicked several pictures of those photographs. After clicking several pictures, she put those pictures back and left the room slowly after checking that the room was as perfect as before.
She went back to aleena's room where she found ruhi listeining songs at her ipod.
Ruhi: kahan gayi thi piya..?
Piya: kahin nahi…. Washroom…
Aleena and misha came back and the girls ate and dozed off….
While piya was still in her thoughts about those photographs and aleena was busy to figure what sugandh said…..
--
Precap - College time….!!! Till which extent will you avoid me…? I was always your FRIEND…. Can't you understand that…..?
--
So…. Piya found some photos…. Whose photos are those…. What does sugandh mean from her message….
Lots of mysteries cooking and stay tuned for more…. Send your feedbacks soon….
Regards….
Swati…!!!!!!!
