Seasonal dreams Part 12
Inorder to put an end to the gossip,Arnav opens up before media:I'm not dating Manjari.Please don't cook up stories.I have my own concept about my girl.
Media people are eager to hear his concept.
A:She should have long hair.{He thinks about Khushi's long silky hair}She should be a good singer{He thinks about Khushi's sweet voice...her lovely songs}.
He thinks:Who has shining eyes like Khushi?Who is so bubbly and cheeerful like her?
Watching this interview on tv Manjari feels sad.
M:I was happy to know that Arnav was not dating Khushi.But still i have no hope.I am not at all like his dream girl.My hair is not long.I can't sing at all.But what if this is Arnav's trick?So that noboy would doubt his affection towards me?
She rings up Arnav:Hi Arnav!
A:Hi Manjari.I'm sorry..i don't know from where the gossip came from.
M:I heard your concept about your dream girl.I think it was a lie.
A:No.It's true.It's my concept about my girl.
M:Have you met that girl?
His lips shiver.But he replies:Yes.
M:Then?
A:She bid good-bye and went away.I wished her all the best.
M:Were you sad?
A:Yes.But i was helpless.
Tears dwell in his eyes.
A:Please Manjari..let us leave this.
M:I'm sorry.
She feels upset.
She thinks:Now it's clear that Arnav used to love Khushi.I'm sure that his love interest was Khushi.Poor guy.
Unexpectedly Khushi gets Lavanya's phone call.
L:Hi Khushi..I'm Lavanya..Actress Lavanya.
K:Lavanya?
She can't believe that Lavanya rang her up.
She thinks:Why did she ring me up?Is it to talk about Shyam?
She is tense.
L:I called you to invite for my birthday celebration in the evening.You will come.Right?
K:Ya..i will come.
Khushi thinks:Lavanya does'nt know me at all.Then why is she inviting me for her birthday celebration?Strange.
Khushi goes to Lavanya's flat in the evening.
L:Hi Khushi!
Lavanya hugs Khushi.
L:Happy birthday Lavanya.
L:Thanks a lot.
Khushi gives her a small gift.
L:Thank you so much.Actually i did'nt expect this.
Khushi looks around.She sees a lady.
L:That is my maid Sreena.
K:No one has come for the party?
L:Actually i have not invited anyone else.I prefer a simple celebration.Will you get bored?You won't get bored.Actually I have called one more person to help you to overcome boredom.Shyam.
Shyam comes out of the room smoking.
Lavanya is shocked.
She thinks:My God!Are the rumors turning out to be true?
Shyam smiles:Hi Lavanya.When did you reach?
L:She just came now.
L:Khushi..i heard that you sing well.Actually i called you to sing birthday song for me.
Khushi sings:She called me just to sing a birthday song for her?
Khushi sings the birthday song.Lavanya cuts her birthday cake and puts a piece in Shyam's mouth.Shyam feeds her back.
Khushi's heart pains.
She thinks:God!I can't believe what I'm seeing?Is it to show this I'm invited here?
Shyam's mobile rings.
S:It's my new movie's producer's call.Excuse me.
He goes inside the room.
K:Lavanya...When did Shyam start smoking?
L:You don't know?He is a chain smoker.I don't care about this.
Khushi is shocked.
She thinks:Shyam pretended to be a well mannered man?No!
Shyam comes out of the room with liquor bottles.
Shyam pours it into the glass and drinks it.Khushi is shocked.
She thinks:Shyam drinks?
L:How is it Shyam?
S:So tasty.
L:I bought this foreign liquor specially for you.
Lavanya also drinks along with him.
Khushi loses her control and breaks a bottle.
She shouts:I won't allow you to drink like this.
Shyam gets angry:Who are you to order me?
Shyam is shouting at her.She was seeing his new face.
K:You want to know who i am?I'm your fiancee.I can't tolerate you gettingdestroyed in front of me.
S:Oh!So it's because of your status regarding me you are ordering me?If so,i'm not marrying you.What will you do?
Khushi is shattered.
K:You are not conscious.You have drunk too much.
S:No,i'm conscious.I'm happy with Lavanya.I have her.Even if we don't get married she will also be with me.If she is with me my life is happy.
Khushi bursts into tears.Shyam feels sympathy towards her.
Shyam controls his temper and becomes soft:I'm sorry Khushi.I know i'm cruel to you.But i'm helpless.I want Lavanya.I can never forget her.
Khushi is still crying.
S:You are very nice.Very innocent.A pure girl like you deserve a better man.I'm not a right choice.You are too good for me.Please try to understand that.
She wipes her tears.
K:I'm sorry.Be happy with Lavanya.I will never disturb both of you.Lavanya...thank you for giving a nice treat here.Thanks a lot.

A:Khushi..get inside the car.
She gets inside the car.
A:What is this Khushi?Why are you walking alone on the road at night?Have you lost?You are a well known face.You are a beautiful actress.If anyone had seen you here you would not have been able to escape.
Arnav takes her to his guest house.

They look at each other's eyes for some time.
The romantic song of 'New York' is going on screen depicting their emotions:
(Mmm….mmm…) 4
Tune jo na kaha, mein woh sunta raha
Khamaka bewaja khwaab buntha raha
Mmm mmm mmm… mmm mmm
Tune jo na kaha, mein woh sunta raha
Khamaka bewaja khwaab buntha raha
Jaane kiski humein lag gayi hai nazar
Is shehar mein na apna tikana raha
Durr chahat se mein apni chalta raha
Khamaka bewaja khwaab buntha raha...
A:I will drop you home.
Arnav drops her home.
A:Good night uncle..Good night aunty..good night Khushi..
Khushi's parents:Good night.
Arnav goes.
Khushi hugs her parents and cries:Sorry for not listening to your words.Shyam was cheating me.I trusted him blindly.I hurt others for him.
Shashank:It's ok Khushi.Forget everything and start a new life.
She burns Shyam's photographs.
