CHAPTER 1B: DILEMMAS....
ANJALI'S CAR
"Hey di are you sure you know where we are going?" Ridz asked a bit concerned, she didn't want to get lost.
"Yeah yeah I know where we are going, it's right from here, or was it left….no im sure it was right?" Anjali said looking utterly perplexed
"DI!!"
"Chill ridzie, we'll ask that car on our right, at the traffic signal okay" Anjali said soothing her sister.
ARMAAN'S CAR
"HAHAHAHA" Atul was having hysterics
"You wouldn't be laughing if you were in my position" Armaan said whilst driving. Last night's date was terrible.
***Flash back***
Armaan opened the restaurant door for her,
"thanks armaan, you are sooooo sweet" his date said, she was wearing a blue denim miniskirt and a blue sleeveless top.
"aw, thanks" Armaan said… he was thinking 'what was her name again-tina?-mina?-reena? Or was it lina? ooimaa mey tau mar gaya'…
"No problem babes" Armaan sighed, relieved that she hadn't noticed he had forgotten her name.
Inside the hotel: having dinner
Lina scooted her chair a bit more closely to Armaan's, not that it wasn't close enough already. 'How more closely can she bring the chair now?' Armaan thought ruthlessly. He called for a waiter
"So what will you have?" Armaan asked her
"What would you like to have?" Lina asked him raising her eyebrows and winking her eyes. Armaan's eyes turned wide with horror as he read the double meaning in her words.
"I'll have er…… urm, ill have spaghetti Bolognese" Armaan said clearing his throat
"I'll have what he's having" she said to the waiter, but kept her eyes on Armaan.
"Erm…..excuse me, I'm just going to the men's" he said and got up
"I'll be waiting" she said and winked leaning forward a bit.
In the men's toilet
"Oye champ pick up the phone" Armaan was muttering " hey atul what took you so long to pick up the phone man?"
"Oh I was talking to Leela, she's becoming very naughty nowadays" Atul replied
"Arrey yaar, forget your plants! Listen to me!! This Tina-"
"Its Lina" atul corrected him
"Whatever yaar, well remember I told you that shes a bit chipku. Well mainey jooth bola thaa, she turned out to be a COMPLETE chipkoo"
Atul laughed "that's why you should always find out about the girl before you date her"
"Yah yah gimme a lecture later, right now we need to use FORMULA 420!!" Armaan said desperately
"Woh kaunsa formula hain? Is it a new plant growth formula?" Atul asked interested
"Chup!! Dekh , main waapas jaa raha hoon, you need to call me in 5 mins and just pretend its an emergency so I can get out of here! DON'T FORGET 5 MINUTES"
***Present***
Armaan is snapped back to reality as he realises Atul is talking to the girl in the car to his left. Armaan leaned forward so that he could see the girl as well. He had to admit she was hot sizzling and…lost??
"Can you tell us where Imax Adlabs multiplex is?" the girl asked, Armaan saw that there was another girl in the car, but he couldn't see her properly.
"Yeah we could tell you where it is…why don't you do one thing; we are going there as well just follow our car" Atul said to the girl, he was putting on his very bad flirty charade.
"Nice move Atul…I didn't know you had it in you" Armaan said a bit surprised at Atuls plan. Just then it was green light, so they started moving. The girls car was following.
"Arrey yaar, mujhe flirting meri maya ney sikhaya" Atul said popping his collar.
Armaan was thinking 'how do plants teach flirting…im gonna have to talk maya man!!'
ANJALI'S CAR
"DI, are you sure its okay to follow them, I mean this isn't Delhi, can we trust the people here?"
"Ridzie chill okay, these guys don't look like those types" Anjali said, she was following that guys car.
"But di, you know what mum says, never trust a person by there looks!"Riddhima said a bit suspiciously
"Is mum here Ridz?" Anji said stating the obvious
"Par di-"
"Ridz, I don't want any arguments! You trust me right?"
"….ya…" she said a bit stubbornly folding her arms, like a little child.
ARMAAN'S CAR
"Stop being so childish Atul" Armaan said a bit exasperated.
"But Armaan!! Atul whined "I want to go there" he folded his arms and turned away like a little child
"ATUL! We are not going to the 'Stop smoke pollution' seminar in the multiplex! We have better things to do" Armaan replied a bit annoyed.
He was thinking about how Atul can be so out of it sometimes, who would waste the last possible free day they are going to have on doing something boring like that right?
Armaan turned around angrily to see Atul pouting like a little puppy.
"Ah Atul not the puppy dog pout!" Armaan said turning to look forward and concentrate on his driving, Armaan always felt bad when Atul pouted like a lost doggy.
"But why not?!" Atul asked upset
"because we could be doing something more productive…like getting girls numbers- you might even get that girl's number" he said signalling to the girl driving behind him.
"Really? You think so?" Atul asked excited
"I said 'might' but it's a more likely chance we will if we go to the shops in the multiplex rather than the 'stop smoke pollution' seminar" Armaan persuaded.
"What seminar are you talking about?" Atul said smiling sarcastically.
"Now that's more like it champ!" Armaan said smirking.
*~*~*~*~*
MULTIPLEX
"Thanks guys!!!" Anjie said after parking the car next to the boys. Atul grabbing the opportunity stuck his hand out saying "No problem, hi I am Atul"
She said "my name is Anjali and this is my lil sis Riddhima" taking his hand, and signalling towards ridz.
"Oh and this is my friend Armaan" motioning towards Armaan who was gazing at Riddhima.
"Hey" Armaan said snapping back to reality as he heard Atul mention his name to Anjali.
He shakes hands with Anjali, and then puts his hand forward eagerly for Riddhima to shake. Riddhima who was once again occupied in her own thoughts, reluctantly took his hand.
"You guys can't be from Mumbai" Armaan said while they all started walking towards the entrance of the mall "Otherwise you would have known this place…everybody knows this place"
"Yah, you're right" Anjie said surprised at his perceptiveness "we've just recently moved here from Delhi"
Before Anjali could talk anymore, Riddhima butted in…
"Hey di, can we go to that shop their I've heard they have good dresses"
"Yah lets go" Anjie said, before heading in that direction with her. They both turned around and said "thanks" to the two.
"HEY ARMAAN! Where you lost?" Atul asked clicking his fingers in front of Armaan's eyes. They were in a men's clothing shop, and Atul had just asked Armaan his opinion about 2 different sweater vests.
Armaan who was lost in his own world, realised Atul was talking to him
"Huh…? Oh no I don't want raspberry cake, I only like chocolate…you should know that champ" Armaan said saying the first thing that came to his mind.
"What are you talking about Armaan I was asking your opinion on these clothes… I didn't even mention cake" Atul said laughing at Armaan's stupidity. At this point Armaan was feeling really embarrassed.
"Yeah…I knew that… but I was thinking about cake, speaking of cake I'm going to get some from that caf shop opposite, you come there when your done" and with that excuse he left before Atul could complain.
"Areey yaar, isse kya hogaya?" Atul wondered to himself as he saw Armaan walking out.
IN THE CAF
Armaan sat there stabbing his fork into the cake, swamped in his thoughts…
What just happened to me back there?
Why was I so mesmerised by her? It's not like I haven't seen prettier faces…
But those eyes and that long beautiful black hair caressing her gentle soft skin 'as smooth as monumental alabaster'.... what am I thinking?? I've been reading too much Shakespeare…stupid Othello… Maybe I'm in love?? NOOO never! How can I even be in love? I don't even know her and love at first sight is a load of rubbish…way too filmy... what if I do love her? Then 'I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare' …DAMMIT Shakespeare tussi great hau you have poems to all my situations…maybe I do love her. WAIT what am I thinking… noooo
"Someone hit me" Armaan said this last thought out loud without realising. Then he felt a hard smack at the back of his head. He turned around to see Atul there standing smiling.
"OYE what was that for?" he asked rubbing the back of his head as Atul took the seat next to him.
"You were the one that said 'someone hit me'" Atul said quoting Armaan
"I said that out loud...?"Armaan muttered to himself "Did you hear anything else?" he asked speaking in his normal voice again.
"Nope…why should I have??" Atul asked nudging him cheekily.
"Noo….nothing….erm hey didn't you say you wanted to go to that shop?" Armaan said quickly changing the subject. "Why are you bouncing up and down in your seat?" Armaan said looking at Atul closely for the first time.
"Areey yaar… muhje lagee hain" Atul said holdig his tiny pinky finger up
"Chee yaar…disgusting jaldee jaa. Otherwise you're gonaa do it here…remember when we were 5-"
"Abbey yaar baad mein sunana" Atul leaves running from there as fast as his legs allow him. Armaan bursted out laughing- Atul looked like a penguin running.
"Oh man I got coffee on my hand…there's no tissues here, ill have to go to the counter" He mumbled to himself walking to the counter. That was when he saw her, the most beautiful creature his eyes had ever layed sight upon.
"Mmmhhh…..raspberry or chocolate cake? Why is di taking so long…uff her and her accessories, looks like im going to have to decide on my own" Riddhima said to herself pouting, she looked like a lost puppy, she was at the front counter looking at the menu board above.
"Chocolate cake" a voice said from behind her. She thought it sounded familiar for some reason. Riddhima turned around to be greeted by a familiar face
"Oh hey… it's you again" Riddhima said, trying to remember his name, he just smiled; she saw a dimple appear on his cheek. Aww how cute she thought, but then she snapped out of it.
"And why do you say chocolate?" she asked curiosity getting the better of her
"Simple-it's my favourite" he said naughtily, she thought he looked like a little stubborn kid.
"Ohh…so just because you like it doesn't mean I will too" she said mirroring his baby face
"Well…all girls that like me like chocolate too" he said grinning
"who said I like you?" she said cheekily
"ouch that hurt" he was holding his heart.
"Good" she stuck her tongue out. Then turned around to the guy at the counter and said "ill have a raspeberry cake"
Riddhima turned around to see Armaan walking away with a couple of tissues in hand.
She quickly added "actually forget raspberry make it a chocolate cake"
Armaan was walking away, when he heard her say "chocolate cake" Armaan turned around, she was staring at him smiling. He winked at her, to his surprise she winked back. He smiled and walked off, back to the table he was sitting on earlier.
Atul came back
"Halka hau gaya" he sighed a sigh of relief
"kyan?"Armaan said a bit repulsed
"kuch nayee…tu nahee samjheyga" Atul gave him the shut up look.
"I understand everything dude" Armaan laughed "ab chalein"
As they left Armaan was smiling, this was probably the best shopping trip he had ever had. It was nice speaking to you miss Riddhima, I know we will meet again. Life's too short…
The low hum of the traffic reached her ears… she was sitting in her sister's car, once again thinking, we will meet again…if it's in our destiny.
