Saachi sighed to herself…though she was disappointed to know that her parents wud be arriving few weeks late than scheduled as Dheeraj's exams had been extended…but she was relieved after her chat with her mom…as she told her abt Vivaan & his confession……her mother had only one thing to say…
Mom—saachi, yeh tera decision hoga, its important ki tu kya chahti hai, agar tujhe lagta hai ki tu Vivaan ko ek mauka de sakti hai…toh dekh le hume koi problem nahi hai…hume Vivaan pehle bhi pasand tha aur ab tum saath hote ho toh hume koi problem nahi hai… faisla tujhe karna hai…kya tu Vivaan se door Khush reh sakti hai …tujhe in 5 saalon mein maine dekha hai…aur tu khush nahi thi ….aur ab agar zindagi ne tum dono ko phir milaya toh kuch ache ke liye milaya hoga… just remember, tera job hi faisla hoga hum tere saath hai…
Saachi thot to herself…her mom is surely right…she had never been happy without Vivaan…& she knows it herself she cant stay away from him she has accepted this to herself…Saachi knows from beginning from the time in Kasuali….Vivaan was always sure that he doesn't want any relation any commitment …may be it was her who had rushed into it…& had been impulsive……& now after so many years if Vivaan has come back to her & confessed his love…then he must surely love her…He surely sounded sincere & truthful on dat party night…
Saachi smiled to herself how he had apologized y'day evening abt the file incident…
***
Saachi was abt to leave office…when she heard Vivaan calling her name…
Vivaan—going home chalo main drop kar deta hoon…
Saachi(irritated)—thank you so much "sir" but I will manage fikr karne ki zarut nahi hai…
Vivaan—par…main ussi taraf ja raha hoon its…
Saachi—par mujhe tumhare saath nahi jana…tum(angry) tum peecha kyun nahi chod dete….subah se... just leave me alone for once… tumse waqt manga hai na Vivaan…toh kyun waqt nahi de sakte mujhe… ya tum chahte ho main koi impulsive decision le lu…aur yeh sab karne se kya sabit karna chahte ho ?… fine I agree…u still affect me...but let me think abt it… ……(turned the other way) plz..itna toh kar sakte ho? Aur I am asking for too much…
Vivaan agreed she does have a valid point
Vivaan—fine…aaj job hi hua uske liye…I am sorry…& I promise ab se tumhe pareshan nahi karunga…aur jab tak tum nahi chaogi tumhare karib bhi nahi aaunga…but atleast for old times sake hum dost toh reh sakte hai…. (seeing her giving a doubtful look he smiled) it's a gentleman's promise… sirf dost…plzz…
He sounded so sincere in his apology…that Saachi agreed…& for the coming days…they were like old times…talking with each other, working together…
They spend time with each other…occassionaly went out with each other…got to know each other better…during his chats he shared abt his parents also….
Saachi felt sympathetic towards her…& cant help but feel sorry for him…how much he suffered…
Over the weekend she had a chat with Palak & Gautam too who also had same thing to say…that its gonna be her decision…Palak was though surprised to know Vivaan actually confessed…she wasn't expecting it…but she was happy for Saachi that finally she was getting her love back…
Saachi had made up her decision long back…now its just left to convey it to Vivaan…but everytime she decided to say it….. she cudn't sometime they were interrupted by some person or some urgent work…sometime she got busy with her official work sometimes Vivaan got busy…Sometime her hesitation stopped her…she thot it was much easier to confess 5 yrs back….she just went to him & said it…now its more difficult…
***
It was Singhania industries annual party….special occasion this time since Vivaan is here…every year its Aditya who attends it…
Vivaan came along Saachi as he had picked her from her house…she decided that finally today she can confess as he seems to happy & excited…also her parents wud be arriving tomorrow evening…so she can now officially introduce Vivaan to them & they can work on finalizing wedding…
Though Saachi was njoying the party but she was dying for it to end as she had decided to confess after the party…she glanced over Vivaan who was talking with some guests…at that moment she got a call from her dad informing abt details of their flight & other details…since it was too noisy inside she went outside to attend the call….as she came back she saw something which blew her fuse…
She saw Sonia lurking around Vivaan…what she cud make out from the distance she was asking for a dance…she cud see Vivaan refused initially but after few pleas he gave in…
Saachi(mumbled to herself)-- Great Mr. Vivaan, abhi thodi der pehle maine dance ke liye poocha…toh saab ne mana kar diya aur ab dekho… kaise close dance kar rahe hai…U are a limit Vivaan…arghh…
She turned the other way…she saw waiter passing by …she took a glass from him she needed a cold drink to cool her mind…
***
As soon as song ended Vivaan sighed in relief…& instantly moved away from the dance floor already his patience was running low with Sonia's non stop chattering…god knows what she was blabbering abt…he wasn't paying attention when she had asked for dance he refused twice…but she pleaded too much…making him feel awful in front of so many business associates around…finally he gave in….
He glanced through the party searching for Saachi…but he cudn't place her…he thot she might be somewhere around he even asked but even they didn't had any idea…
Vivaan once again looked around when accidently his gaze fell on Saachi moving out of the door…he followed her through the doors…He called her name but she didn't replied… he saw Saachi walking out….he called for her…
Vivaan—Saachi, …Saachi ruko, where are you going? Listen to me….Saachi….
He walked towards her & caught her hand to stop her…
Saachi (turns around) - Why are you following me? … tum jao…Goo…I am also going….
Vivaan—wohi toh pooch raha hoon…kaha ja rahi ho?
Saachi (smiled)—kaha ja rahi hoon? Aapse matlab?
Vivaan—saachi tum…
Saachi(giggled)—yes, its me…& I am going…
Vivaan—theek hai abhi chalte hai…party thodi der mein khatam hone wali hai…hum saath mein challenge…
Saachi(laughed…pointing a finger to herself & Vivaan)—hehehe hum saath…means… tum aur main…saath challenge…r u sure? Par pehle tumhe dancey dancey se fursat toh mile…
Vivaan(surprised to see her talk like this)—huh!! (confused) dancey? Yeh kya hai?
Saachi—oh!! I am sorry sir…aap boss ho…sab presentation se samajh aata hai…ok…I will explain…dancey dancey matlab jo aap andar us bandariya ke saath kar rahe the…(came closer to him…took his hand kept his hand on her waist) aise…pakadkar…hil rahe the…
Vivaan(rolled his eyes..he kept wondering wats wrong with saachi)—main nahi mujhe lagta hai tumhara dimaag hil gaya hai…
Saachi(nodded in no)—Nooo… main nahi hil rahi…tum …tumhari naak (moved finger towards his nose) hil rahi hai dekho…
Vivaan (moved back in time else she wud hav scratched her cheek with her nail)—kya kar rahi ho… abhi lag jata … (almost dragging her along) Come on andar chalo party mein…
Saachi(pulled her hand back)—no…mujhe nahi jana andar…main ja rahi hoon…I am going…
Vivaan—haan abhi challenge na…hum saath aaye the…toh akele kaise jaogi…I will drop u…
Saachi—haath chodo mera… mujhe party mein nahi jana…watch ur dance with bandariya…(tried to taked her hand back) chodo…
Vivaan—Saachi… wots wrong with you….aur ye kya bole ja rahi ho… aur main tumhe koi dance nahi dikha raha…now come on…
Saachi (a bit shaky a bit giggly) – ofcourse mujhe kyun dance dikhaoge…maine poocha toh mana toh kar diya tha tumne….
Vivaan(turn back to look at her)– have you lost it Saachi… you are behaving drunk….(dats when Vivaan's tubelight goes on) Saachi….(shocked) have you been drinking? (its when his gaze fell on glass in her left hand he had not noticed it earlier) ye kya pi rahi ho tum? (tried to take the glass)
Saachi(moved back)—zehar hai …tumse matlab?
Vivaan– pagal ho gayi ho tum…(comes closer & tries to take the glass from her hand, she refuses to give with a "get away" but he manages to take it)
Saachi(keeps blabbering) --mera glass do…its mine…(seeing Vivaan taking a sip) aeee….this is mine…tum khatam kar doge…do mujhe…
Vivaan(kept the glass on the floor)—Saachi…do you know wot this is….
Saachi(nodded in yes)—yes!! Mujhe pata hai…(giggled) yeh juiiicccee hai… pata is glass pe ek chotta sa pink umbrella bhi tha…(tried to look around) kaha gaya? (smacked Vivaan) tumne gira diya…mujhe chaiye tha….ab dhundo… (going tipsy by the minute)
Vivaan(laughs) –Saachi…are u crazy or what?... kisne kaha tumse yeh juice hai…(tried to hold her…fearing she might fall) this is the most lethal drink that is there….this is sangria, the fruits are soaked in rum overnight and then mixed with wine, brandy, fruit juice and sprite, it does taste like fruit juice but is dynamite… kisne diya tumhe…
Saachi(already she was half listening to what Vivaan had said…she got a lil worried) -- Am I drunk? …par sab pi rahe the…aur glass par pink umbrella bahut cute tha… (tried searching again) ab kho gaye kahi…itne the mere pass(sadly) I lost all 😔
Vivaan(amused)–kitne the…I mean… how many have you had.
Saachi (starts giggling) – ermmm….2…nahi…3 I don't know ….(as if remembering) haan it was 5… nahi…
Vivaan– what? 5 …Saachi…kya kiya tumne😲😲 …(She now gone to a diff world…. She has gone into a giggling fit) ok listen you stay here …(made her sit on bench …since they were out in garden) I'll get some limejuice, shayed tumhara nasha kam ho….(but saachi was in her own world giggling to herself…Vivaan shook her) Saachi …suna tumne… andar mat ana main abhi aa raha hoon….
Saachi(caught his hand as he was abt to leave)—abhi na jao chodkar…ki dil abhi bhara nahi…(she goes absolutely sozzeled by now full throated) abhi na jao chodkar…
Vivaan(laughs shakes his head… turns with finger on his lips)- "Ssshhh" …chup chap baitho yaha I am just coming…
she lowers her voice n goes "chup tum raho…chup hum rahe…(pulled him towards her) khamoshi ko khamoshi se baat karne do…" swaying a bit.
Vivaan tries to calm her down…but he hard time controlling her…finally he gave up… and with one swift movement lifts her… she puts one arm around his neck
Vivaan-- I think I sud take you home…andar jakar aur tamasha karogi…chalo ghar chale
Saachi went again…"chal chale, apne ghar humsafar" almost sang in his ears…
Vivaan (tried to move his face…she was making difficult for him to walk)– Saachi…kya kar rahi ho chup raho warna maroonga….
Saachi(giggled)– tum…tum mujhe maroge… main to dar gayi…
Vivaan(laughs) – tum aur daar… koi connection nahin hai ab chup chap chalo.
Saachi–par kaha lekar ja rahe ho?... where are you taking me?...
Vivaan(whispered)—just wait & watch…
As they reach the car and Vivaan puts her in…calls muskaan informing Saachi is not feeling well he is just going to drop her home..will be back in a while…
Throughout the ride…saachi's Fm radio was on…😆😆 kept on singing one song or the other…
Vivaan(mumbled to himself)– I wonder… tum wohi Saachi ho ya koi aur ho….kon ho tum…
Saachi heard it …& she went…
Aayi main to aayi, Nazaaron ke anjaane ek jahaan se
Laayi main to laayi baharon ke afsane, Bhi wahaa se
Na na mujhe chuu na na duur hi rehna…. PARI HOON MAIN
vivaan (laughs has a loving expression on his face) – haan pari toh tum ho… & Pari ji ab thodi der chup ho jao…& sit quietly… mera sar dukh raha hai.
Still she went on – sar jo tera chakraye, ya dil dooba jaye aja pyare paas hamre kahe ghabraye………
After few minutes out of the blue
Saachi—mujhe bookh lagi hai….
Vivaan(shocked)–what? Ab yaha bich raste main what u'll have? Chalo ghar chalkar I will order something… ok
Saachi—par mujhe pizza khana hai…
Vivaan– What??? 😲
Saachi–Pizza…Mr.Vivaan…round round hota hai…with vegetables, cheese &…
Vivaan(interrupted)– I know wot pizza is…par yaha kahan se laoonga …ghar chalkar I will make it for u…Happy…
Saachi (happy like a kid) –tum banaoge…tumhe aata hai…(moved closer…pulled his cheeks) how sweet…
Vivaan(smiled) --yes that I am… tabhi to tumhare itne torture ke baad tumhe ghar chodne ja raha hoon… its first time …pehle kabhi nahi kiya maine…
Saachi (curling up & closing her eyes) – hhmmm… life mein bahut cheese pehli baar hoti hai jaise pyaar.
Vivaan looks at her as she falls asleep.
***
As they reached home…Vivaan tries to wake her but she just makes some grumbling noise…shakes his hands off her with "let me sleep" ….Sighing he comes around…carries her, reaches the elevator and sees a "out of order" sign… frustrated he kicks the elevator door which wakes Saachi up, she gives him a brilliant smile and snuggles to him wrapping her arms around him….
Vivaan(realizing she is awake)– sud I put u down, can you walk?
Saachi (mischievously shakes her head in negative) – mmm No…I am comfortable here.
Vivaan (smiles) – oh really, are you?? …You r just a lazy girl…who don't want to climb stairs.
Continues walking upstairs…
Vivaan(grumbled)– why did you have to take a flat on the 6th floor?? Groundfloor pe nahi mila…
Saachi (giggles) – actually I wanted on the 14th but they dint have any…all was taken….(laughs)
Vivaan—in dat case…I wud have let you sleep in the car whole night…
Saachi(sweetly)– no you wouldn't… I am sure you wud still carry me up….(moving her finger on his face) I know…u are too sweet to do that….
Vivaan(tried to move away)– shut up Saachi…what u are doing…. I will drop u down this way…(already he was having tough time controlling himself they way she is almost seducing him)
Saachi (laughs) –No u wont… u are superrrmannn…. (continues to move her hand along his face and in his hair)
Vivaan (trying to move his face from side to side) – hey bhagwan aaj meri rkhsha karna… ab meri izzat aap ke haath mein hai.
Saachi– bhagwan ko kyon confuse karte ho… aaj tak kisi ladke ne unhe ye nahin kaha hoga…. 😆😆
Vivaan—ofcourse…….aaj tak kisi ke saath aisa hua bhi nahi hoga…a girl troubling an innocent boy…Upar chalo main tumhe batata hoon.
Saachi (oblivious to his threat) – haan haan chalo… hum baat karenge.
Vivaan(shook her head) – baat nahin… maine bola….forget it…
As they reach her flat…he asks for keys….puts her down opens it and pulls her inside… closes the door and leans on it to get his breath back…its been exhausting climbing 6 floors…
Vivaan– ab main bataoon tumhe….You've been driving me crazy all along…
Saachi (flirting) – hhhmmm bataooo…
Vivaan (scolding mockingly)– fine!! I was kidding now go & sleep….chup chap
Saachi (agreeing taking his hands)– yep yep!! lets go.
Vivaan (laughs pulls his hand back) – lets go matlab kahi picnic pe ja rahi ho… you go & sleep…I will see u tomorrow morning…
Saachi (sulked)– but I don't want to sleep
Vivaan– oh you don't want to sleep, then wat do you want to do?
Saachi—batau…(vivaan nodded waited for her to tell) mujhe tumse baat karni hai…I…I want to talk…
Vivaan—is waqt…hum subah baat karenge…abhi u go & sleep….
Saachi(childishly)—nahi mujhe abhi baat karni hai…
Vivaan(sighed)—fine…bolo…
Saachi(moved closer..& in low voice)—tumhe ek secret batana hai…infact bahut dino se batana hai…
Vivaan—what…?
Saachi –kisi ko batana nahi…shhh…….(vivaan nodded in yes.) tumhe batana hai …ki…ki..(moved to him…almost whispered in his ears) batana hai ki….I love you….(even before he cud register…she bought his head down and kissed him, he tried to move back but the door stopped him)
He tried to move back coz he knew she isn't her senses…she isn't realizing what she is doing…the drink must surely having its effect on her… Once more he tried to move back… but she didn't allowed… she held him firm, finally he kissed her back with the same fervor….
Saachi (breathless) –tumne sahi kaha tha…. Pehle bhi tumse pyaar kiya aur ab bhi…still Love u….u were right….(smiled) u are always right …
Vivaan (softly)– Saachi… you r not in your senses…(though he cudn't stop himself from smiling…but still a little doubtful) you don't know wot you are saying… that's the drink talking….
Saachi (placing her hands against his cheek…brushing it with her thumb) – no its not… I know wot I am saying….infact…main tumhe pehle batani wali thi…par tum…(with little anger) tum aur tumhara dancey dancey…
Vivaan—phir dancey dancey Saachi…😕😕 I guess… you sud sleep now, we'll talk tomorrow… Ok….
Saachi (holding his hands)—kal kyun…we can talk now… (giggled) like talking to you….I want to talk to you…. (came more closer to him)
Vivaan (exasperated moves her away )– Saachi… (almost pushed her away) ….don't do this to me, I can't take it anymore…. lets just say that I am only a man….
Saachi (giggles) – yes I know that….you are a very nice man…a superrrmann…. which is why I love you….
Vivaan (gives up) – all right I believe you… now go to your room…& sleep….
Saachi– don't leave me alone…. wot if I get scared….Come with me.
Vivaan (laughs) –Saachi…tum itne dino se yaha akeli reh rahi ho…you can't be scared….😆😆
Saachi's FM station went on again-- 😆😆
Pyaar hua, ikraar hua hai,
Pyaar se phir kyoon darrta hai dil. Kehta hai dil rasta mushkil…. Maaloom nahin hai kahan manzil
Vivaan(laughed)– mujhe malum hai...right now… tumhari manzil sirf bedroom hai…….ok come on... main chalta hoon tumhare saath….
He walks her to the bedroom. Looks around…it's a nice bright room… with diff colored walls… what surprised him..seeing posters of Shahid kapoor… 😲😆
Vivaan (asks unbelievingly)–Saachi u like Shahid kapoor… (shrugged) shahid kapoor…wats their…
Saachi (threatens) – don't you dare say anything bout him…😡 I luv him….he is so cute…
Vivaan–maine kaha kuch kaha…I just meant…you are so childish…😆😆 .Abhi tak posters lagati ho…
Makes her lie on the bed and covers her with a duvet…. holds her hands…. Now go to sleep….I am here only…But she just keeps staring at him
Vivaan– Saachi pls sleep…. I am tired to… I also want to go back & sleep….sooner u sleep sooner I can leave…
Saachi (immediately) –ok.. lori suna do I will sleep…

Saachi– no no not this one…. I like your husky voice….
Vivaan (laughs) –Saachi…why I feel like a radio station…koi farmaishi program chal raha hai… aur main husky voice kahan se laoon…😕😆 . I have only 1 voice…
Saachi—plzz…mere liye nahi ga sakte…plzz… sochlo warna main nahi soungi…(abt to get up).
Vivaan does not know how to deal her…still stops her from getting up – nahin nahin… tum so jao main gata hoon….(to himself) subah mein na tumko rulaya to mera naam Vivaan nahin…😈 (laughed)
Saachi—kya hua…😕 gaane ko bola hasne ko nahi…
Vivaan goes– 😛😆
baat hai ye ek raat ki aap badlo pe lete the
wo yaad hai apne bulaya tha,sardi lag rahi thi apko,
Patli chandni lapete the, aur shawl mein khawab ke sulaya tha.
Ajnabi hi sahi, saans mein sil gayi, ajeeb hai ye zindagi ye zindagi ajeeb hai.
Meri nahin ye zindagi raqeeb ka naseeb hai.
Finally she dozes off….🥱 he lightly kisses her forehead… gets up looks at her one more time sleeping like a baby. 😊😊 He leaves closing the door of her flat behind him… smiling to himself …he doesn't know if Saachi will remember in morning what she had confessed…may be drink had too much effect on her… but still he felt happy with the confession….😃😃😃
As he reached home…Muskaan was still awake…asked him how saachi is…he just told how she mistakenly had a drink..she is ok & sleeping now… &rushed to his room…Muskaan was surprised why Vivaan was smiling & seemed happy abt something…she shrugged she will ask him in morning…
