chapter 5:
present:
Sidhi:" cumon guys!
Will somebody tell me what happened?
The suspense is killing me!
I mean, why are u guys looking so forlorn and serious?
Bhaiyya, akhir baat kya hai?
Bataana!"
karan looked at his sister and sighed!If he did not do sumthing,she would go on and on until she got her answers!
He glanced at Aditya,who at once got up and walked around to Sidhi...
Aditya put his hand on her shoulders...
"usse kya poochrahi ho?
I will tell u everything in detail...par ek shart par!"
Sidhi: "kya?"
Aditya:"I will tell u over coffee!"
Sidhi looked at karan and ASR...and she knew she had to accept Aditya's offer! They were not going to tell her now!
She said:" ok...shart mansoor! letz go!"
As Aditya and Sidhi left, karan turned to ASR...
"ASR! LOOK AT ME!"
As Arnav obliged,karan could see that,Arnav was as confused by the turn of events as him!
His eyes told everything!
ASR:"karan! Don't ask me anything!
Becoz i myself don't know the answers!
I don't know what came over me!
It was as if i was not in control of myself!"
karan:"hmmm...
ab chodo ye sab batien!
Jo hua so hua...
no use crying over spilt milk and making it salty 4 the cat!!!
We have to start preperations for fresher's party...u remember na?"
ASR:"haan!"
And then he smirked!!!
"Hey karan! u are the one who is supposed to collect the names of all the juniors from the office and make the chits na?
Enjoy buddy!!
Main toh chala khana khane!!!
karan:" kya?
itna bada dhoka?
Aditya went off nicely and now u are also ditching me?
ASR:"u should have thought about it before...u were so eager to help out the others na?...
now it is ur responsibility!
Bye!!!"
karan looked at the mischevious twinkle in his best buddy's eyes and smiled!
Thank god,he was back to normal!!!
****************
Their college had its own tradition of celebrating fresher's party and it consisted of a surprise for every junior!
Each senior would be given the name of a juni at random...a girl's name for a boy and vice versa...
The senior's identity would be kept a secret from the junior till the night of the D-day...the night of the fresher's ball, where they will be each other's dates!!!
*************
Karan was holding the bowl containing all the girls names and everybody's eyes were on the figure walking towards karan!!
It was ASR's turn to pick up his partner!
Everybody was waiting with bated breath to know who that lucky juni would be!
To have ASR as her date...that was every girl's dream come true...even if it was just for one night!!!
ASR put his hand into the bowl and fished out a chit!!!
He could feel everybody's gaze on him as he opened the chit slowly!!!!
*************
Khushi thought about her new found frnd...Tina...
After the embarassing incident,Tina had immediately offered her support and stayed with her,assuring her that everything would be fine an two days as nobody will even remember that such a thing ever happened!!!
Though Khushi knew it was an improbability,she could feel the sincerity in Tina's words...
That is when she remembered that she had ran out of the auditorium without even thanking the person who had saved her!
she had not even seen his face!!!
How culd she have been so selfish?
she had not even enquired as to what had happened afterwards!!!
was he fine?
she wanted to know who her saviour was...and then she would go and thank him pofusely!
********************
24 yrs before:
Arnav Malik stopped,with one hand on the door of his car!!
What were these guys doing here,at this time of the night?
But then,why should he bother?
He could atleast ask them 4 directions 2wards the nearest fuel station or a phone booth,if he was lucky enough!
Before he could form his question,one of them posed a question to him: "Did u see a girl cuming in this direction?"
Arnav was perplexed by his question?
A girl?
That too at this tym of the night?
He was about to answer in a negative,when his eyes were drawn 2wards the backseat of his car!
Ofcourse!
Now, everything fell into place!
The moment he had set his eyes on them he had felt that sumthing was seriously wrong!!!
He turned towards them and said:"Yes!"
