Hmm So now the thing is Me Armaan Mallik was known as the sweet and kind guy of the College.. And Shilpa was known as the Hotty , there wasnt a single boy who didint drool on her.. Woah dont include me .. I wasnt drooling at her that time.. Not until i realized... Wait lets keep that talk for later on.. So as i said i was known as the guy with sweet nature.. Not that i am not good looking.. I know there was many girls who drool over me.. But Shilpa Malhotra was just a once piece.. She never drooled on me... She never even bothered to... The lady was more far beyond it.. Confused.. ?? Dont worry you will get to know soon how..
Soo for those who are wondering how a guy like me handsome and charming doesnt flirt around let me tell you i was committed into a Relationship with a girl named Natasha.. She was opposite of Shilpa.. Dressing style indian, silent , Shy and sweet girl.. But Shilpa she was the bold, outspoken, sometimes rude and flirty girl.. Well well that doesnt mean she flirted with every guy in college.. Fortunately or unfortunately her main target was non other than me Only... Still confused.. ?? Wait let me take you to some memories of me..
Flashback :
Shilpa notice Armaan making his notes while sipping his coffee.. With a naughty grin she walked to him and spoke in a flirty manner.. " Good morning Ammyyy... "
Armaan looked up at her and gave a smile.. " Good morning Shilpa.."
Rolling her eyes she takes a turn showing him her dress.. " Hows my new dress.. "
He couldnt help but smile remembering how she repeated the same thing to him every morning.. " Very beautiful Shilpa.. "
She leans down on him with a seductive grin.. " You really think i am beautiful.. "
Armaan rolls his eyes while smiling.. " I have been telling you that from teenage years.. Yes you are a beautiful girl.. "
She smirks while tracing the collar of his shirt making him nervous for a second.. " I am very glad you think so.. "
He pulls her hand away making her sit beside him.. " Shilpa stop doing it.. If Natasha sees you doing this she wont like it at all.. "
She looked at him with a frown.. " Ohh you mean your so called girlfriend Nuts.. Seriously the lady is Nuts.. No i guess you are the biggest Nut to fall in love with that nut.. "
He looked at her with a warning gaze.. " Shilpa dont call her that.. She is my girlfriend.. "
She smirks while patting his shoulder lightly.. " Dude your eyes will be opened soon.. Dont go for her sweet nature mind you.. cya bye.. "
Flashback ends
Sometimes i really wondered why she used to behave so rudely with Natasha.. Am telling you both look at eachother ready to kill anytime.. I was the one stuck between them.. If one was my best friend the next was my love.. But there was a day when i did actually felt Shilpa's point of view towards Natasha was correct.. I did feel in real.. When i saw something unusual happen.. And this unusual thing led to a more impossible feeling rise in my heart.. I know i know am making u confused.. Let me show my memory as a explanation..
Flashback :
Shilpa : Armaan plzz.. You have to take me to pub...
Armaan : Why dont u ask someone else.. Shilpa i did promise Natasha i will take her out tonight... And why not some other boy.. And why me only..
Shilpa pouts and him and speaks seductively.. " You know well how hot i am.. And i dont trust anyone else near me.. All are jerks.. "
A amused smile forms on his lips.. " U mean you actually trust yourself with me.. ? "
A lovely smile comes on her lips as she moves her arms on his neck.. " Ofcourse i do.. No need to even ask... "
Unknowingly he felt himself stare at her beautiful green eyes.. He could notice humor and a sort of spark in them.. And like everytime he couldnt help but like the way she teased him .. Realizing the closeness he push her away while clearing his throat.. " Umm Shilpa why not ask Varun to take you to Pub.. "
Shilpa rolls her eyes and look away when she notice a scene infront of her.. A sly smile comes on her lips.. " You really think i should take Varun.. I dont think so.. "
Armaan " Why not him.. "
Shilpa points near the stairs.. " Have a look there.. "
Armaan turns around with a frown and was left stunned seeing the scene infront of him.. Varun was hugging Natasha while she kept smiling.. What the Hell.. !! Fuming in anger he walks upto them in anger.. "
Night time :
Armaan sneaked inside Shilpa's bedroom silently.. As he jumped he noticed Shilpa who stood infront of the dressing table, Her back facing towards him totally exposed while she kept trying to pull the zip up.. He stood rooted on the spot as he couldnt help but stare at her, seeing her beautiful figure.. Something stirred in him.. Just then she pulled it up and turned around to see him standing near the window .. A surprise look came on her face for a minute he thought she was going to burst at him.. But Shilpa was Shilpa.. Instead of being stunned by his sudden presence she walked upto him worriedly.. " Ohh my god Ammy.. What happened to your face.. "
He gave her a weak smile and walked upto the bed taking a seat.. Shilpa set beside him with a frown..
Armaan : I had a fight with that Varun.. Well i guess It was my fault.. She told me his was just a friend and there nothing between them.. I just overeacted.. "
Shilpa looked at him in anger.. " That bitch hugs someone else like a lover and says he is just a friend.. ? "
Armaan snapped at her.. " Shilpa plsss.. Stop using such words on her.. "
Shilpa got up from the bed.. " Ok calm down let me clean up your wounds.. "
She came back with the first aid box and got in the bed.. " Now lie down on the bed nicely.. "
Armaan frowned .. " For what.. "
Shilpa passed him a teasing smile.. " So that i can make love to you.. Idiot let me clean those wounds.. "
Armaan shifted up on the bed uncomfortably as her words rang in his mind.. He felt a unique sensation draw through him imagining her in his arms.. No no She was his best friend how could he think about her like that... And most importantly he was already committed..
She started cleaning up his wounds nicely .. As she finished she sat up on his stomach with a teasing smile.. Armaan sensed the danger at once..
Armaan : Shilpa NOOO.. !!!
But without giving him a chance she started tickling him hard.. He couldnt help but start laughing badly.. He tried to move away but she kept tickling him hard.. All of a sudden overpowering her , he pins her down onto the bed getting up on her.. They keep staring at eachother with a big smile..
Armaan : You wont change haan.. You still continue with that tickling thing.. I soo hate it..
She looked at him naughtily.. " Ammy .. What can i do if you are so sensitive.. "
Before he could utter a word suddenly she kissed him softly sending a jolt down his body.. He closed his eyes feeling her soft lips on his lips.. Again something stirred within him.. Realizing what was happening he moves away from her abruptly when she sits up on the bed calmly..
Shilpa : No need to keeping any guilt.. I take the blame on me..
He stared at her for a second and nodded silently.. He got up from the bed moving to the window with the realization that something has surely changed between them with just one touch..
Flashback ends
So you see i got two doubts in my mind from that night.. A doubt regarding Natasha.. I couldnt understand she really loved me or not.. She was always distant from me which she covered up everytime by saying she felt shy near me.. And was i dumb to believe that.. ? The thing which bothered me was the way she hugged Varun , so comfortably a affection which she never had towards me.. And next doubt was Shilpa.. The way she behaved with me , specially that night something stirred in my heart telling she had a thing for me.. But the way i reacted back did i have a thing for her.. ? That was the thing which kept me bothered for few days.. I created distance with Shilpa and gave more time to Natasha.. That was when i did the biggest mistake in my life.. The day i lost my best friend..
Flashback :
Natasha quietly came towards Armaan without uttering a word.. Armaan frowned seeing the sullen look on his face.. That was when he noticed her cheeks having a wound like someone had hit her..
Armaan : Natasha.. What happened.. Who dared to hit you..
She stayed quiet not making eye contact with him..
Armaan : Speak up Natasha...
Natasha : Armaan..
Armaan : Say the name..
Natasha : Armaan.. She.. She slapped me..
Armaan : WHO...
Natasha : Shilpa...
He stared at her stunned hearing her utter his best friend name.. Getting furious he turns to go when Natasha holds his hand..
Natasha : Armaan its really ok.. Just a misunderstanding...
Armaan : No its not Ok.. This is too much now... She have to understand it now..
Armaan makes his way into the canteen and drags Shilpa away from her friends to outside.. Taking her out in the garden area he starts glaring at her while she calmly stares back at him.. She folded her arms and softly spoke..
Shilpa : What is it Armaan.. ?
Armaan : Why the hell did you slap her.. How dare you Shilpa..
Shilpa stayed quiet.. She didint get mad.. Instead she maintained her calm nature..
Shilpa : Did she tell you why i slapped her.. ?
Armaan : I already know what the problem is here Shilpa.. I donno why the hell you hate her so much.. How many times i tried to make you understand she is my girlfriend.. My love.. How can you insult my love like that.. Enough is enough Shilpa.. I never expected this from you.. Not from my bestfriend.. I dont see my bestfriend infront of me right now.. I see some other girl standing infront of me.. "
She stared at him shocked still not uttering a word.. Very unusual from her actual behavior.. Instead her eyes welled up surprising him to limits.. This wasnt a Shilpa he knew.. Still not willing to cry she spoke bravely.. " So u mean its over.. Our Friendship its over. "
He looked at her blankly and spoke.. " I cant leave Natasha.. And i cant forgive you for what you did to me.. I am sorry its over now.. "
That was when she cried.. The first time after soo many years he saw her cry in pain.. He did notice the actual plead in her eyes.. She still didint utter a word.. Neither defended herself.. he started feeling bad.. But his commitment towards Natasha held him to stick with my decision.. Within tears she smiled at me.. She moved forward and gave a sweet kiss on my cheeks.. He controlled myself from reaching her.. She moved back still holding the smile on her face..
Shilpa : Armaan... True friendship and True love wont ever leave.. You might not need me .. But always remember i am there for you.. "
And then she backed away.. In tears... And she was gone...
Flashback ends
That was the day i felt something precious walk away from me.. I tried hard to forget about her.. But the thing which made me worse was that she left College and shifted in some other town.. I couldnt help but miss her.. She walked away from my life.. What i didint knew was she took my heart from me with her.. I was shattered.. I was angry on myself.. Why was i behaving like this.. I had the Natasha.. The girl who i loved.. So why did i feel so bad seeing Shilpa leave me.. The answer hit me like a bolt after somedays... !
Flashback :
He walked inside the college silently... A empty feeling running in his heart.. Still he felt her presence near him.. The way she irritated him, Teased him .. He couldnt deny anymore.. He missed Shilpa.. He missed his bestfriend.. Just then he noticed Natasha walking silently towards the store room.. She kept looking around with a alert look.. why was she sneaking in like that.. Frowning he follows her inside to see the same scene which he saw some days ago.. There Varun stood hugging Natasha tightly... In a intimate manner.. He felt his blood boil at once.. He wanted to go and smack him hard but still controlled his anger to see what was happening between them..
Varun : I missed you so much sweetheart.. Dont u know how bad i feel to see you with that Armaan..
Natasha : Aww i know baby.. Just wait for some more days.. I am going to dump him anyways.. You know right why i was acting up to be committed to him... I just wanted to teach a lesson to that So called Shilpa Malhotra..
Varun laughed.. " Thankgod Armaan himself made her leave from here.. She was such a pain in ass.. I hate that arrogant women.. We were so close to be caught.. "
Natasha smirked .. " Ohh come on Darling.. IF she even said to Armaan i was sleeping with you he wouldnt have believed.. I cant believe she dared to slap me.. Armaan is himself so dumb he didint knew she slapped me cauxe she caught be with you that day.. "
Armaan stood hearing every word in shock.. The words kept running in his ear painfully... He was seeing the disgusting betrayal infront of him.. His eyes full of anger he looked again at them to see them hug again.. He backed away as Varun walked out of the store room.. After some minutes as Natasha walked out he came infront of her blocking her way... She stared at him horrified..
Natasha : Ar..maan... You..
Armaan looked at her glaring and hissed in anger..
Armaan : Now i understand why Shilpa used to call you bitch.. No wonder the word suits you soo much.. Let me tell you i dump you , you big Cheat.. !!
Flashback ends
After that My life became a big torture.. A realization swept through me as days passed on.. I wasnt at all hurt with Natasha's betrayal... How funny the girl i was committed from such a long time, i was never in love with her.. Well you must be thinking how i realized it.. ? I felt the pain of loosing someone close to heart when She left... Yes i did.. The pain was there when Shilpa left... How could i not realize i was in love with her from soo many days.. But i thought i deserved it.. I hurted her in return i got the hurt in form of loosing her.. But sometimes unexpected turns does come in life right.. ? i never believed it .. Never.. But a big turn came in my life the day ...
Flashback :
He sat in the sandy beach while looking up in the stars... The night was beautiful.. Peace was there .. But his heart was restless.. A month passed by and he didint get to hear anything from her.. His heart yearned to feel her presence near him.. Hear her voice again.. Enjoy her teasing session..
Armaan : If i could just take back what i said..
Shilpa : Turn into reverse mode Ammy..
He turned around quickly to see her standing behind him with the same teasing smile on her lips.. Was he really dreaming, Or She was actually here infront of him.. Just then she took away his confusion in one second.. She set beside him while giving a soft kiss on his lips making him gasp with surprise..
Shilpa : You dont have to feel any guilt.. I take the blame on me..
He looked away feeling ashamed recalling how badly he had spoken to her.. Keeping his eyes down he spoke taking her hands...
Armaan : Guilt is there.. FOr hurting you.. And you have taken enough blame on yourself.. Not anymore..
She rolled her eyes seeing his sullen face..
Shilpa : Will you stop being the sick lover Ammy.. She is gone for a good..
Armaan : How do you..
Shilpa : I know everything.. There is nothing i donno when it comes to you..
He gave her a sad smile finally getting some courage to look in her eyes..
Armaan : You were right.. I was such a big nutcase.. I was stupid to trust her.. She kept cheating on my back and i blamed you..
She looked at him with a adorable smile which made his heartbeat rise at once..
Shilpa : Didint i tell you Armaan.. True love and true friendship never walks away.. She wasnt you true love.. So she had to be out of your life..
Armaan : I am glad i realized it.. She wasnt my true love ever..
Shilpa : Ya ya.. And about true friendship.. I told you i am always with you everytime.. Whether you need me or not...
He started at her with a new feeling of bliss and love rising in his heart..
Armaan : What about true love.. ?
She shifted her gaze abruptly.. He noticed flicker of emotions in her eyes.. Still she put up a fake smile and looked back at him.. This lady was really good in acting up..
Shilpa : Well again we will search someone who is not bitchy for you..
Armaan : Someone who cares about me.. Someone who loves me from heart.. With a open heart.. No regrets or barriers.. Someone who knows what is the true meaning of friendship and love.. Someone like You..
She looked at him in daze not able to speak up a word... Her eyes showed what she had in her heart... True love and true friendship was again back in his life...
Flashback ends
So Now i guess the confusions would be gone right.. Yes Shilpa Malhotra by best friend was the actual true love of my life.. Sometimes the people to whom we dont give much importance in our life turns out to be the most needed ones in our life.. That realization comes into heart as the person leaves.. But who can deny her words saying its wrong.. As she says True love and True friendship never goes away.. It stays in our heart.. Just one call to the person and get the happiness back in life..
" Ammy What are you doing... ? "
Armaan closed his diary instantly and looked up to see his wife looking at him with a frown... He noticed the beautiful silk nighty she wore , instantly a smile came on his lips... She noticed it and deliberately took a turn.. " Hows is my dress Ammy.. "
He laughed hearing the trademark line from her.. " You look gorgeous Shilpa.. "
She walked up to him seductively and gave a teasing smile.. " You think i am beautiful.. ? "
He grinned at pulled her on his lap while she looked at him amused ... " I have been repeating from teenage years you were, You are and you will be always the most beautiful girl... "
He got up and pulled her in his arms making her laugh in delight... He gently puts her on the bed and looks at her eyes deeply.. " I love you soo much Shilpa.. "
She rolled her eyes and pulled him closer " You are so boring Ammy.. I already know you love me.. Why not just prove me how true your words is by action.."
Armaan challenged her.. " Ohh like how.. "
She started unbuttoning his shirt with excitement filled in her eye , the teasing smile never left her lips.. She traced his chest naughtily.. " Like this.. Show some passion for once.. "
He laughed while pulling her close draping the blanket on them.. Before capturing her lips on a hot kiss he whispered on her lips.. " Lady Dont you know.. You are such a tease.. "
Now what would have Shilpa gone through when she was away from Armaan for that time... ?
You've always told me not to give up
Well here is a lesson for you
If you ever need me, call
That is all you have to do
You've been through so much these days
I'm sure God has something planned out
But in order to see it
You cannot be blinded by doubt
So help me help you
Tell me everything you're going through
Let go of all these troubles
Because the more you hold on the more it doubles
Please, I can see your smile fading
I can hear your voice crack
You may not be near
But you know I got your back
In the past I wasn't always there
Give me a chance this time
I swear on my life I'll be right beside you
To save the emptiness in your heart
