It was the night of the Farewell Party. Everybody had come dressed in the best outfits they could lay their hands on. Atul was wearing a really cool party shirt….Anjali was wearing a stunning blue gown….Muskaan was wearing a flowing white gown…Rahul was wearing a black tuxedo…Ridhima was wearing a gorgeous red salwar suit and Armaan was wearing a really cool grey t-shirt in which he was looking really hot. Armaan and Ridhima sat together, Atul and Anjali sat together, and Muskaan and Rahul sat together. Rahul kept glancing at Armaan and Ridhima's table every two minutes. This was really irksome to Muskaan. "Waha kyaa hai?" she asked finally, infuriated like hell. "har do minute mein udhar dekh kyu rahe ho? Meri taraf dekho naa..dekho mai tumhare liye kyaa pehen ke aayi.."
"Tumne yeh mere liye pehna hai?" Rahul asked… confounded. "Haan.." Muskaan said "awwww….that's so sweet of you" Rahul said "tumhe mere liye karna nehi chahiye tha..tumhe toh pata hai na…duniya mein…mai sabse zyada mohabbat tumse karta hu aur sabse zyada nafrat Armaan se karta hun."
*~*~*~*~*~
"Dance ho jaaye??" Armaan asked Ridhima as soon as the music started pumping. A very fast track was coming on. "Sure…." Ridhima said in high spirits. Armaan escorted Ridhima to the dance floor and they started grooving to the track…Soon..the track changed to a slower one. Armaan extended his arm towards Ridhima and said "May I??" Ridhima blushed slightly and said "of course!"
Armaan laid his left hand on Ridhima's right hip lightly.
A short chill ran down her spine. Then Armaan put his right hand on Ridhima's shoulder and then they started dancing. Their bodies flew along with the soothing rhythm of the song…They felt as if…for that moment…they were one single soul…Their hearts had coalesced and their minds were connected by the thread of a single feeling…pleasure. As their bodies swayed to the rhythm they forgot all the ties and bonds of the world and became engrossed in each other. In between the process of dancing with Muskaan, Rahul witnessed the full event and mused within himself "jitna enjoy karna hai karlo Armaan…kyuki bohot jald mai tumhara jeena haram karnewala hun."
The track changed again to a fast one…Ridhima was about to leave the dance floor but Armaan asked "kyu jaa rahi ho?" "I'm tired" said Ridhima "thoda rest le loo"
Ridhima walked over to the drinks counter and sat there, blankly staring at Armaan, who was grooving to the fast track. Armaan could not take his eyes off Ridhima…in the process of dancing as well as staring at Ridhima….he bumped into another girl. Armaan had to admit that the girl was hot. She was wearing a leather mini skirt and a black halter neck top. "Hi…I'm Simran" said the girl "n...u r??"
"Armaan "he said. "ooohhhhh...nice name..." Simran said "I saw u dancing back there…I must say u r really good..I wanna dance with u too…" she said…
"I..I..actually..I" Armaan was hesitating a lot.
"OH Please! Only once...please" simran pleaded.
"ohkay…" Armaan said. Then..a slow song started playing…and Armaan started dancing with Simran.
It was a golden opportunity for Rahul..he quickly walked up to where Ridhima was seated and said "kyaa mai baith sakta hun?" Ridhima was gripping her glass very tightly..it was evident she was getting very very jealous seeing Armaan dancing with sum other girl.
"haan.." ridhima said in a small voice. Rahul took the seat and asked for a glass of soda. Simran was trying to get very close to Armaan now. Ridhima's grip tightened over her class. "Iska koi faayda nehi hai" Rahul said to Ridhima. "matlab?" ridhima asked...perplexed.."matlab yeh ki...jealous hone se koi faayda nehi..Armaan toh aisa hi hai..."Rahul said..
"tum kehna kya chahte ho?" ridhima was clearly getting pissed.
"mai yeh kehna chahta hun...ke...Armaan toh har hhafte kisi nayi ladki ke saath ghumta hai..."
"KYA??"
"haan..woh to sabse bada flirt hai...sabooth toh tumhare saamne hai...dekho uss ladki ke saath kaise chipak ke dance kar raha hai.."
"par usne toh kaha tha..."
"woh har ladkee se kehta hai woh usse bohot pyaar karta hai nd stuff...par yeh sab dikhava hai..."
Ridhima was looking at Armaan and Simran with sheer disgust...
"usne yeh sab aur kisse kaha tha?"she asked firmly
"bohot sari ladkio se" Rahul said "tina, sonia, alisha,jiya,prerna, mini..."
"bas..." Ridhima cut in "that's enough."
She then put her glass down with a clang and stormed out of the farewell party.
