Last Part ( Epilogue )
" Chod do mujhe, main ab jeena nahi chahti!" Padma yelped loudly and tried to jump out of the moving train.
She was getting hard to control, just then Shashank came and shook her violently and said, " Yeh kya pagalpan hai!"
" Haan pagal ho gayi hoon main, jo bhi hua uski vajah se!" Padma sobbed hard.
" Kuch nahi hua, chalo yahaan se!" Shashank hugged Padma sideways and took her inside their compartment.
" What non-sense, tumne mujhe bhi nahi bataya, apni best friend se chupaye rakha! " Riddhima asked Shilpa, who was looking outside through the train window.
" Woh...jaisa humne socha tha, vaisa kuch bhi naahi hua. Everything got messed up. " Shilpa replied in a sad and low voice.
" Do you even had a little bit idea, ki iss sab ki vajah se tumhaarae aur Armaan k Mom-Dad ko kitni pareshaani hui hai? " yelled a frusturated Riddhima.
" I am sorry! " Shilpa tried hard not to cry.
" Sorry...! Yeah..first do the damage and then say sorry! " Riddhima shrugged and continued, " Do you know, that because of your plan and stuff, yours and Armaans' parents' characters are being attack now!" roared an angry Riddhima.
" What???" Shilpa turned around, now facing Riddhima
" Yeah...you know what, they are blamed of having illegal relationships with each other and what not! "
" I am sorry!.." Shilpa cried hugging Riddhima.
" Arre yaar, main pehle se hi pareshaan hoon, ab aurr pareshaan mat kar!" Armaan whined, sipping the beer.
" Acha..now you're being stressed out! Yeh sab baatein, tu Mumbai jaakar bhi toh kar sakta tha na. You could have told your parents at-least. " Sid said.
" Woh meri baat sunte kahaan hai Sid! " Armaan put his beer bottle aside.
" Aurr ab..yeh sab kar ke, tune un logon ko heart attack de diya. " Sid sounded fully annoyed.
" Hush,,,it's all because of my stupidity." Armaan replied. " Shilpa kaisi hai? " asked a concerned Armaan.
" Oh...now you care for her! " Sid raised his brows.
" Kya hai yaar..Don't pull my leg further..Got it!" Armaan pleaded.
" OK..OK.." Sid relied and they both continued drinking beer.
" Ssshhh..." Riddhima consoled Shilpa.
" Listen to me now..just meet Armaan once, just once! " Riddhima advised and continued, " We have to fix this right? So just meet Armaan once, I hope you two can find a solution to this!" Riddhima said.
" But main ab usse...How can I meet him now? " asked Shilpa, sobbing.
" I'll help you. " Riddhima replied.
" Hi! " Armaan waved his hand.
" Hi! " Shilpa replied sadly.
" Shilpa...jo bhi kuch hua..it was all wrong. "
" Hmmm...sab ideas to tumhaare hi thhe na..!"
" Tum hi yeh shaadi cancel karwana chahti thi. "
" Tum bhi.."
" Tum Shilpa..."
" Aurr agar Mom chalti train se jump kar deti toh.." Shilpa teared up.
" Ssshh..Shilpa..control yourself." Armaan consoled Shilpa and took her hand in his.
" I am sorry Shilpa, you know, mere parents ko bhi bohot shock laga hai! Par tum bhi toh uss time Sumit Sumit kar rahi.." Armaan spoke onlt to be interuppted by shilpa.
" Bhaad mein gaya Sumit, usse aurr uski yaadon ko main wahi chod aayi thi, and moreover my parents are my top most priority. It was you who incited me about it all." Shilpa cried.
" Shilpa..listen..listen to me! " Armaan cradled Shilpas' face in his hands. " Its not the time to cry, we have to think of a way to fix this, right? " Armaan said softly.
" I don't know!" Shilpa hugged Armaan tightly and cried some more, to which Armaan too hugged her protectively.
" Shilpa, tu yahaan kya kar rahi, tujhe pata Sumit aaya hua hai. " Shilpas' friend Muskaan told.
" Kya..kahaan hai? " Shilpa asked, stunned.
" Arre bahar station par, mama Ji k saath. " Muskaan replied.
There he stood. Sumit along with some of his friends stood at the station platform along Mama Ji.
" Shilpa Ji, namaste ji. Surprise..surprise..surprise! " one of Sumits' friends said, happily!
" Sumit, tum yahaan..kaise...kyon? " Shilpa asked, still trying to absorb the newly happened event of Sumits' arrival.
The other friend told Shilpa, " Consider it destiny or miracle! Apne Sumit ki toh bhagwaan ji ne sun li. Dada ji ne humme, Amritsar se, plane se yahaan bula liya. aurr hum aa gaye, kal aapki shaadi ho jayegi Sumit se! "
" Meri? " Shilpa was stunned, would be an understatement!
" Shilpa ki shaadi ka faisala, ab main karunga, tum log toh fail ho gaye na. Shilpa ki shaadi hogi, kal hi hogi! Armaan se nahi, Sumit se." Shilpa heard Dada Ji, who was talking to her father.
"Arre, yeh Dada Ji toh bade chalaak nikale, beech raaste mein hi, dulah badal diya." Sid spoke, amazed.
" WHAT????????? " roared Armaan.
" Koi Summit naam ka ladk ahai, jisse hogi Shilpa ki shaadi! " Sid replied.
" Wohhh...toh theek hai na, mein kya karoon? " Armaan clenched his fists.
" Jahan tak mein jaanti hoon, Shilpa, Summit ko pasand toh karti thi. " Riddhima added fuel to the fire.
" This isn't happening, how can Shilpa marry someone else.." Armaan muttered.
" Kuch kaha kya..? " questioned an anxious Sid.
" No..yes..i mean..toh kar le na shaadi, uss Su..su..su..." Armaaan fumbled.
" Su..su..nahi, Summit! " Sid controlled himself from laughing hard.
" Haan..haan..wohi, mujhe koi farak nahi padta, ki Shilpa, kisse pyaar karti hai, yah kisse shaadi! " Armaan clenched his fists.
" Aap khush nahi lag rahi, Shilpa ji, kya maine koi galati ki, yahaan aa kar? " Summit asked innocently.
" Haan, kiya galat, arre aise achanak bhi koi aata hai kya, seedha khajoor ke paed se mere sir ( head ) par tapke ho! " Shilpa replied, annoyed.
" Par, mujhe to Dada ji ne yahaan bulaya, aur waise bhi ab aapki shaadi, uss Armaan se nahi hogi! " Summit spoke happily.
" Haan toh, toh kya mein mari jaa rahi thi, shaadi karne k liye, but tumhe kuch toh sochna chahiye tha na, thoda intezaar hi kar lete!" Shilpa replied, irritated.
" Kahaan fasa diya, aapne Kanha Ji...yeh sab jo ho raha hai, theek nahi hai! Pata nahi, iss waqt Armaan kya kar raha hoga? " Shilpa thought.
" Oh Ji, hello ji, hi ji, kaise ho ji. " Sumit asked Armaan, who was in the company of Sid and Riddhima.
" Namaste Ji. " Riddhima folded her hands and greeted Sumit.
" Oh ji, main jaanta hoon ji, ki Shilpa ji ki shaadi pehele aapse hone waali thi. Par aapne rishta tod diya aurr maine rishta jod liya. Now if you will excuse me please, mujhe Shilpa ji k paas jaan hai, unhe yeh juice dena hai. Aap lo gey? " Sumit was talking casually unaware of the raging storm building inside Armaan, who wanted to punch right on Sumits' nose!
" How dare he...Shilpa k paas jayega, meri Shilpa k paas. Relations aise hi thodi na toot jaate hain. Uski shaadi mujhse ho rahi thi and...and...and...main usse iss langoor k saath shaadi karne nahi de sakta. Yeh Sumit, he's not the right one for Shilpa. Arre Shilpa deserve much better than him, like...like...like me? " thought a fursturated Armaan.
Armaans' thoughts were disturbed by Sid, " Yeh hai Sumit, Shilpa ki shaadi isse hogi? " Sid asked in disbelief. Though he met Shilpa just few days ago, but Sid still knows that Sumit is not the perfect one for Shilpa.
" Wahi toh, how could shilpa marry this..this..looser! Isse acha toh main hi tha!" Armaan shook his head in dissapproval.
" Acha...tum? " Riddhima raised her brows.
" Woh toh bas aise hi. " Armaan fumbeled.
" Yeah...of-course I..we understand. " Sid replied, staring at Riddhima.
" Ho kya raha hai mujhe, yahi toh chahata tha na main, freedom! Then why is this red bangle girl effecting me so much. Jab bhi uske baare mein sochta hoon, toh khush hota hoon aurr jab bhi woh Sumit...aaarrrgggh...why is their closeness making me restless! Kya hai, jo mujhe Shilpa se jod raha hai. uski hassi, usske aansoo, uski woh badi badi aankhein, uski baatein..sab kuch..Am I attracted towards her...but how can it be! Aaj tak meri jitne bhi girl-friends rahi hain, Shilpa is quite different from them. May be, this difference is the reason that I am attracted towards her. Yeah I admit, I am attracted towards her. Does she feel the same about me...Arrrggghhh...mujhe iss shaadi k liye haan bolna hi nahi chahiye tha. Na main haan karta, nahi Shilpa se milta aurr yeh sab bhi nahi hota! Ohhh Godd...help me! " thought Armaan.
" Yeh jo bhi ho raha hai, theek nahi ho raha! I agree, ki main pehle Armaan se shaadi nahi karna chahti thi. It was a hate at first sight, I so hated his so called attitude, uski baatein, uski harkatein, uska...sab kuch..Par ab, wahi sab baatein mujhe itni achi kyon lagne lagi hai, ki now, I am missing him. Uske saath bitaya hua har ek pal, ek sapne jaisa lagta hai, ek khoobsurat sapna, jo humm dono ki bewakoofi ki wajah se toot gaya. Yeh...iss ehsaas ko bayaan karna muskil hai, bas itna jaanti hoon ki, I am attracted towards him and now I like him..maybe...Par ab kuch nahi ho sakta. Nothing!" thought Shilpa, while Sumit was sleeping on his seat.
" Shilpa, I need to talk to you, about me..about you..about us! " Armaan told Shilpa on phone.
" Its not possible now Armaan, ab kuch nahi ho sakta.." Shilpa replied in a low voice.
" Ho sakta hai, we can do it Shilpa. Listen, ab jo next station aaye ga, tum koi bahaan bana kar, platform par aa jaana, I'll meet you there. " Armaan said.
" Main nahi aa sakti Armaan. " Shilpa replied.
" Tumhe aana hoga Shilpa, mere liye at-least. " Armaan pleaded.
" Please Armaan, don't make it difficult for me! I just can't.." shilpa teared up and hung the phone.
" Hello..Shilpa..Shilpa..." Armaan sighed.
" Tumhe aana hoga Shilpa, you have to come, for me...for us! " Armaan thought.
" Ab mazaa ayye ga. Shilpa ab Amritsar mein hi rahegi, Mrs Sumit Sharma ban kar. " Muskaan chirped, while Sumit blushed.
" Khaak mazaa aayega, yeh Sumit na, isko yahaan aana hi nahi chahiye tha! " Shilpa spat anger.
" Aap khush nahi hain, Shilpa Ji. " Sumit asked in hi oh-so innocent way.
" Arre nahi Shilpa khush hai, bas dikha nahi rahi hai. Hain na Shilpa? " asked Muskaan, who was now confused as of, where did Shilpa dissappeared.
" Yeh kahan gayi? " asked Sumit.
" Tum pagal toh nahi ho gaye Armaan. Do you even realize ki tum keh kya rahe ho. " Shilpa was full on annoyed now.
" I realize Shilpa, I do realize. That's why, I am asking you to marry me." Armaan replied firmly.
" Mazaak ki bhi had hoti hai Armaan. Do you think, ki yeh sab ek game hai, jab chaha rishta tod diya, aurr jab chaha tab jod liya. " Shilpa poked Armaans' chest.
" Yeh mazaak nahi hai Shilpa, it was our parents' decision, wasn't it, I am doing the same, humm yahaan se bhaag kar, court marriage kar lenge. Phhir toh hummarae parents mein jo misunderstandings hain, woh bhi sort out ho jayengi." Armaan said.
" You know what Armaan, tum meri life ki sabse badi mistake ho. Meri pehli galati, ki maine tumse shaadi karne k liye haan ki, meri doosri galati ki maine tumhaari salah maan kar shaadi tod di, ab main teesri galati nahi kar sakti Armaan. main apne parents ko aurr dukh nahi de sakti. " Shilpa replied.
" Please Shilpa, listen to me na..." Armaan tried to make Shilpa agree to his idea.
" Kyon Armaaan...kyon kar rahe ho tum yeh sab, kya chahiye tuhe haan..? Kissliye kar rahe ho yeh sab, sirf humaare parents k beech mein jo misunderstanding hai, usse clear karne k liye yah kuch aurr baat hai..bolo na Armaan ...bolo..!" Shilpa clutched his shirt's collar tight and shook him.
" Because I LOVE YOU SHONA ! " Armaan declared.
" Hey Ridzi listen..." Sid was panting hard, he didn't even realized, that he called Riddhima, Ridzi, which he used to, and Riddhima was not alone, she was there with her supposed mother-in-law.
" Sid.." Riddhima replied.
" Kaun hai yeh.." Mrs Walia asked Riddhima suspiciously.
" You just keep quiet, you fat lady. " Sid glared at her and continued, " Do you know ki Armaan aurr Shilpa kahan hain? "
" Kahaan hain matlab, train mein hi honge, jayenge kahan!" Riddhima came forward towards Sid.
" I have looked for them everywhere, but they are...no-where. " Sid shrugged and came close to Riddhima.
" Riddhima, maine poocha kaun hai yeh? " Mrs Walia asked again.
" Aunty please abhi mujhe jaana hai, main aapse baad main baat karti hoon. " Riddhima pleaded, holding Sids' hand.
" Jaana hai toh ja, but remember, from now-on-wards you are not my would-be daughter-in-law. Main apne bete ki shaadi, tere jaise charachter less ladki se nahi karvaungi, jo kissi aurr ladke k haath main haath daale ghoome! " Mrs Walia said, which angered Sid, who looked, as if ready to kick this snobbish lady out of the train...moving train, actually!.
Riddhima knew, she has to do something, this was too much, now it was Riddhimas' time to act and this fat ladys' time to listen and watch, " Thank you, Mrs fatty snobbish Walia, elephant k naam par dhabba, low brand k make up ki dukaan, sada hua tandoori chicken, C grade movie ki vamp, arre tere uss selfish bete se shaadi karna bhi kaun chahte hai. Kam se kam 10 logon ka khaana akele kha jaati ho aurr kehti ho, its just my low diet, low diet my foot. " and then she made her way out of the compartment leavong a fuming yet embarrassed Mrs Walia and an amazed Sid, who was now grinning like a maniac.
" I am impressed..!" Sid bowed in front of Riddhima.
" Sid..pehle Armaan aurr Shilpa o dhoond le!, par yeh dono hain kahan...?" Riddhima said.
" Pata nahi! Armaan ne kaha tha ki usse Shilpa se kuch baat karni hai, bas...! Usske baad...kahin woh dono station par toh hi reh gaye!" Sid rubbed his forehead.
" Lets ask Sumit first, shayad usse kuch pata ho! " Riddhima suggested and the both went to confront Sumit.
" Please Armaan..." Shilpa and Armaan stood at a secluded area in the train.
" Please Shona..tried to understand..I love you baby.." Armaan kissed the corner of Shilpas' lips and rubbed his nose with hers.
" Armaan..." Shilpa tried not to, but moaned.
" I know, ki jo hua, usme meri bhi galati thi, but you were wrong too...after all, the last one, and the successful idea was yours only. " Armaan carresed Shilpas' bare waist, as she was wearing a baby pink lehnga.
" Armaan please stop all this..I.." Shilpa tried to speak.
" Please Shona..say that you love me, say that you liked me from the beginning, say that you enjoyed my company, you missed me when I wasn't around you, say it baby, say that you feel the same I feel about you..Please Shona, i know all tha but I am dying to hear this..Please baby! " Armaan pecked Shilpas' lips, which was enough to bring Shilpa in reality.
Shilpa pushed Armaan a little and started to yell at him, " Maana ki galati meri hai, but shaadi toh tumhi todna chahte thhe na, main toh tyaar thhe na tumse shaadi karne k liye, par abb ab kuch nahi ho sakta.."
" Shona.."
" Please Armaan, don't...maanti hoon, ki mujhe tumse pyaar hai, i agree that I LOVE YOU ! But ab kuch nahi ho sakta Armaan, kuch nahi. Yeh Dada Ji ka faisala hai ki main Sumit se shaadi karun aurr yehi hoga.." Shilpa tried to move away but Armaan held her hand and pulled her to himself.
Caging Shilpa in his arms, Armaan spoke in a deathly calm voice, " Maine kabhi kissi se itna pyaar nahi kiya, jitna tumse karta hoon. Bohot ladkiyaan aayi meri zindagi mein aurr chali gayin, woh pyaar nahi tha, it was just attraction. Woh sab, meri zindagi ka hissa zaroor thi par tum..tumhe maine apni zindagi banaya hai. Tum sirf meri ho, sirf meri. Tumhaari har saans par, har dhadkan par sirf mera haq hai. Zindagi ho tum meri, aurr main apni zindagi ko kissi aurr ka nahi hone doonga. Do you get that! "
" Armaan.." Shilpa started crying silently and a few tears rolled down her cheeks. Seeing the tears, Armaan bended a little, sucked and kissed the tears making Shilpa shiver.
" Ahem ahem..." somebody said, but Armaan and Shilpa were so lost in each other that they didn't even paid a bit of their attention.
Armaan was about to kiss Shilpa properly, just then somebody pulled him.
" Who the hell is this! " Armaan roared.
" Tera baap.." Billy slapped Armaan lightly on his head.
" Dad...Mom..Uncle..Aunty..aap sab.." Armaans' eyes widened seeing his and Shilpas', na..na..na..his Shona's parents standing there in front of them and Shilpa, she was hidding behind Armaan.
" Yeh sab..." Ananya questioned.
" Mom woh.." Armaan mumbled.
" Toh tum dono ek doosre se pyaar karte ho.." Padma asked.
" Hhhmmm..." Armaan scratched his head.
" Hhhmmm..." Shashank looked sternly.
" Woh Dad..." Shilpa now came in front, holding Armaan's hand.
The set of parents looked at their children, who were staring down, feeling guilty of what happened. Then the most unexpected thing happened, when Armaan and Shilpa looked up-on their parents, they were shocked to see them laughing hard and hugging each other.
" Dad.." Armaan and Shilpa spoke in unision.
Billy kust took his mobile out, dialled a number and said, " Oyye Chokhaani, oyye shhadi ki tayaariyaan shuru karde! "
" Matlab aap log humaari shaadi k liye maan gaye!" Armaan and Shilpa asked in unision again.
" Oyye gadhon, tumhe kya lagta hai, ki drama sirf tum hi log kar sakte ho, hum bade nahi! " both the sets of parents smirked at them and left the couple alone.
" Matlab ki, yeh sab Dadi Ji and parents ka plan tha.." Riddhima slapped her forehead lightly.
" Par tum yahaan kya kar rahe thhe? " Sid asked Sumit.
" Oh ji, meri train toh Amritsar mein hi choot gayi thi, tab main sacha dulah tha, ab main nakli dulha hoon. Dada Ji ne mujhe Amritsar se yahaan acting karne k liye bulaya tha, taaki Armaan aurr Shilpa k dil-o-dimaag ka band baj sake. " Sumit told Sid and Riddhima.
" Yaar Dada Ji toh sach mein bohot chaalaak nikle! " Sid praised Dada Ji.
" Ohh ji, Mr. Dharam Raj Malhotra ji ( Dada Ji ) ko kaun nahi jaanta, kyon ji...hain ji...ohh ji.." Sumit said.
" Train ki kimat tabhi pata chalti hai, jab train choot jaati hai. Yeh aaj kal k bacche bhi, kabhi rishta jodte hai, toh kabhi todte hain. Arre main grand father hoon in baccho ka, mujhse chaalaaki kaise karenge!" Dada Ji laughed loudly.
" Ab toh tum mujhse shaadi karogi na.." Armaan asked Shilpa.
" Hhhmm.." Shilpa shy ed.
" Tum mujhse pyaar karti ho na.." Armaan moved close to Shilpa.
" Hhhmmm.."
" Tum bol toh leti ho na! " Armaan brought Shilpa closer to him, hugging her waist.
" Armaan...!" Shilpa slapped his chest lightly.
" Can I kiss you Shona..? " Armaan asked.
" Hmhhmmm.." Shilpa blushed.
" Hhhmm..." Armaan smiled and brought his lips near hers.
" Hhhmm.." Shilpa closed her eyes and so did Armaan. It was their first kiss, both individually and together.
Though Armaan had dated many girls in his past, he never ever kissed a girl on her lips. He himself was not able to answer for not kissing a girl before, but now he has it. He now realized that his first kiss was all along reserved for his would be bride, the true love of his life. His Shona.
All the thoughts seemed to vanish, when they both felt each others' lips. Armaan held Shilpa's hands, that were placed on his chest and brought them around his neck. His own hands travelled downwards and started carressing Shilpa's bare waist. Shilpa, so lost in the kiss started massaging Armaan's scalp with her fingers making Armaan groan lightly. Soon they were literally sucking each others' mouth. Armaan reluctantly left Shilpa, as both of them were in a high need of oxygen. Shilpa blushed and hid her face in Armaan's chest and Armaan placed a kiss on her hair and hugged her tightly and protectively.
" Ridzi..please ...I know, ki past mein jo hua, it was not right but kya hum phhir se,..." Sid asked Riddhima.
" Ssshh...lets not talk about the past...I missed you Sid. " Riddhima hugged Sid.
" I missed you too...I am sorry and I love you.." Sid rested his head on her shoulder and inhaled her fragrance.
" I love you too. " Riddhima admitted.
" Ohh my God...Ohh my God...Ohh my God...Ohh my God...Ohh my God..." a girl, in her late twenties yelled.
" Hey Lisa..what happened, why are you yelling like this lady. It's my marriage and don't yell like this!" Armaan said.
" OMG Armaan you got married to her. " Lisa said pointing at Shilpa, who was surrounded by a bunch of elderly women.
" Listen Lisa, she's my wife and I love her more than anything. Nobody has the right to comment nasty about her in any way, not even you!" Armaan spoke in a ice cold voice.
" Ohh buddy, you are getting me wrong..What I am trying to say is, that you got married to that girl in red right? " Lisa asked.
" Yeah ... so? " Armaan frowned.
" Her name is Shilpa...Shilpa Malhotra..right? " Lisa asked.
" Nope...She was Shilpa Malhotra, now she is Mrs Shilpa Armaan Malik, my Shona." Armaan smiled dreamily looking at Shilpa.
" Oh...my dear love struck buddy. Do you have an idea, to whom you got married to? " Lisa raised her brows.
" Listen Lisa, it doesn't maters to me that if she's an under-graduate or..." Armaan said but was interrupted by Lisa.
" Under-graduate...Are you mad Armaan, you are telling me that Shilpa Malhotra, actually The Shilpa Malhotra, is an under-graduate. " Lisa frowned hard.
" What do you mean, by The Shilpa Malhotra ?" Armaan was now confused.
" Gosh buddy..so don't know that exactly who she is and what she is! " Lisa smiled cheekily.
" OK, tell me...if don't know anything then you tell me! " Armaan glared at her.
" Buddy, you remember the Indian doctor, the neurosurgeon, the one who treated my husband Rob. The one, because of whom Rob is alive. " Lisa asked.
" Yeah so..." Armaan shrugged.
" Oh buddy..you idiot...you stupid, that Indian doctor is non other than, your wife!" Lisa informed.
" WHAT???????????" Armaan eyes poped out, at Lisa's information.
" Yes, she...Shilpa..stands on the 3rd position in the list of World's best Nuero-surgeons'. She's amazing buddy, cause of her Rob is fit, fine and alive. You are very lucky dude, that you got married to Shilpa. She is really-really an awesome person. You are lucky buddy, so lucky..." Lisa said and went to meet Shilpa, leaving a stunned Armaan behind.
" Dad...Dad..listen na. " Armaan pulled his Dad with him, to a corner.
" Kya hua, kahin phhir se shaadi cancel toh nahi karni, dekh beta ab toh shaadi ho gai hai.." Billy said.
" Dad, tell me ki Shona..I mean Shilpa karti kya hai, I am asking about her job." Armaan asked Billy.
" Beta, she's the 3rd top-most neurosurgeon in the world, the best one. " Billy answered normally.
" You knew it. " Armaan frowned.
" Haan toh..." Billy frowned too.
" Haan toh, mujhe bataya kyon nahi? " Armaan asked.
" Tunne poocha hi nahi, ab ja, Shilpa tera intezaar kar rahi hogi! Aaj toh teri suhaagraat hai.." Billy grinned and went away.
" Shona, I'm confused." Armaan sat on the bed, with folded hands in his lap.
" About what? " Shilpa asked, biting her lower lip, trying not to burst into fiits of laughter.
" Are you an under-graduate or a neurosurgeon...?" Armaan asked directly.
" Well my dear hubby, let me introduce myself to you. " Shilpa removed her veil and continue, " I am Shilpa Malhotra...nope...Shilpa Armaan Malik, wife of London based, hotshot business tycoon Armaan Malik. I a neurosurgeon and currently working for Chalfont Hospital in New Zealand."
" It means mujhe jo information milli thi, woh galat thi. " Armaan started biting his nails and this was it, Shilpa started laughing loudly.
" Ohh..Armaan, tum bhi na! Tumse sirf yeh galati ho gayi, ki tumne information extract karne ka jo source choose kiya tha na, woh galat tha!"
" Matlab..? "
" Tumne apne loyal assistant, Atul se kaha tha na, ki Atul go and find all the information about this Amritsar girl Shilpa. I want just athat information that could help me out as a reason for breaking this marriage. " Shilpa imitated Armaan.
" Tumhe yeh sb kaise pata, and tum Atul ko kaise jaanti ho? " Armaan asked.
" Actually Atul, ki wife Anjali meri friend hai, that's how Atul and I know each other. Tumne Atul ko bola, mere baare mein information extract karne ko, Atul ne Anjali ko bataya and Anjali ne mujhe. Toh maine tumhe wahi diya, jo tum chahte thhe, a reason to break the marriage. Maine hi Atul ko bola tha, that he should tell you that I am an under-graduate girl, who has a secret lover too!" Shilpa grinned.
" You...you..." Armaan pouted.
" I love you.." Shilpa carressed Armaan's cheek.
" Tumhe pata hai, jab tumse pehli baar milli na, then i so much hated you, gussa aata tha tumhaari har baat par, but ab wahi baatein, mujhe bohot pyaari lagti hai. I was just not ready for the marriage, but destiny had different plans for me. Na jaane kis bure waqt mein, tumse pyaar ho gaya, you accepted me, even though you were under an impression that I am an under-graduate. You loved me...you love me, right! Ab tum meri zindagi ho, mere jeene ki wajah ho and I love you. " Shilpa smiled.
" I love you too Shona. Waise this was a huge suprise for me, you being a neuro-surgeon and.." Armaan made Shilpa sit in his lap.
" My dear hubby, ab tumhaari zindagi full of surprises hone waali hai! Aage aage dekho hota hai kya..." Shilpa could have talked more but Armaan's lips made her silent. They kissed each other like mainacs and the whole night went in pure bliss and pleasure.
" Sahi kaha tha Shona ne, ki uske meri life mein aane k baad, meri life full of surprises ho gi. Humaari shaadi ko 2 and a half years ho chuke hai, and my love, my life, my Shona never fails to surprise me. And today I got the biggest surprise of my life ! We have created a life, my Shona is pregnant and we are expecting twins. I am so excited about it. Kabhi socha nahi tha ki, yeh pal bhi meri zindagi mein aayega. I love my Shona a lot, and now I am embracing my life, waiting for more and more surprises." wrote Armaan, in his diary.
He glanced at the sleeping form of his Shona and put the diary aside. He went towards her, on the bed and laid cuddling her. His head on her chest and arms around her, holding her close.
