⭐️EPISODE 25: SILVER JUBILEE, SPECIAL EPISODE⭐️
Priyanka stormed off to her van, Rajeev saw a serious Vikas storming off after her too…he stopped…was it just a casual mistake or did Priyanka speak out her heart, Rajeev thought, does she really love me….somehow Rajeev felt Priyanka DID…
Aliya: Rajeev
Rajeev: haan bolo
Aliya: tum mujhse gussa ho
Rajeev: nehi toh
Aliya: pata nehi Rajeev main kal kya bol gayee…(Aliya looked sad)
Rajeev felt uncomfortable, not again, he thought
Aliya: Rajeev I don't want to lose you as a friend, if you don't love me it's okay but I don't want to lose your friendship
Rajeev: I understand Aliya, I am sorry I don't think of you like that, but yes you are and you will always be my friend…
Vikas: Priyanka aaj tujhe batana hi padega, tu sachmooch Rajeev se pyar karti hai?
Priyanka felt like crying: please Vikas, that was just a mistake
Vikas: don't fool me, sach sach bata?
Priyanka: mujhe kuchh nehi kehna
Tabhi Arjun enters her van: Pri tujhse baat karna hai
Vikas: I think I am talking to her now, can we have some privacy Arjun?
Arjun: ok ok baapre, yahan pe toh temper high hai
He leaves, Priyanka sits down upset, Vikas has tears in his eyes, he says in frustration: Pri your silence said it all, mujhe tera jawab mil gaya
And he left
Priyanka felt like the most miserable person in the world
Next morning, all ready to leave for their jungle shoot. The unit would be staying there for 2 days.
Another sleepless night for Priyanka, as she enters the bus leaving for their jungle shoot, she sees Rajeev sitting in a purple T-Shirt, looking fresh. "Wonderful, someone looks fresh and radiant, and I am dying here," Priyanka thought to herself. "Awww, she looks so worried, my poor baby, I love you shona," Rajeev thought to himself lovingly as he saw Priyanka entering the bus.
They reached the jungle in four hours. It is the only jungle in the surrounding, small but pretty dense. There was a forest bunglow but it was in a bad state, so the unit had decided to stay in caravans and camps that they brought with them.
The ranger welcomed the unit: Thank you for coming here. Just be a little careful about the restricted areas in the jungle, please do not go there as you will find it hard to come out of there. Otherwise the place is pretty safe, hope you have a good time.
Arjun: achha restricted areas mein aisa kya hai?
Harshad: array wahan jungle aur zyada ghana hai
Kunal: aur shayad junglee janwar bhi
Arjun: fir toh tu ja sakta hai wahan
Kunal: kyon?
Arjun: arrey apne rishtedaaro se nehi milna?
Kunal: teri toh main
And he runs after him
The whole unit was in a good mood, it was a lovely place, only Vikas and Priyanka looked glum
Aliya: Yahan pe mentorship programme scenes shoot karna hai, hope barish na aa jaye
Malhotra: by the way tumne Rajeev aur Priyanka se woh bed scenes wali baat kiya?
Aliya: aap hi boliye na, you are the producer
Malhotra: ahem, well Rajeev we are thinking of adding a few physical scenes between you and Priyanka in the jungle
Rajeev: sorry but this was not in the contract
Malhotra: come on man, it's no big deal, aajkaal sabhi karte hai
Rajeev: karte honge par hum nehi karenge
Malhotra: hum?
Rajeev: yes hum, because I don't think Priyanka will do it too
Malhotra: u guys need to be professional
Rajeev: maine kahan na, agar contract breach hua toh my lawyer will talk to you
Malhotra: ok ok, thik hai, at least thoda pyar bhare intimacy scenes toh kar sakte ho na? dekho Rajeev maine thoda compromise kiya, ab tum bhi karo
Rajeev: ok aap Priyanka ji se pooch lijiye
It takes a while to convince Priyanka, and she agrees to do it…totally nervous how she would be able to hold her control when she's even acting intimate with Rajeev…
After a while of rest, they get back to work, the mentorship programme scenes are being shot, it was exceptionally hot in the jungle and all of them were sweating in their uniforms, uske upaar there were insects climbing on our actors!!
Arjun: kya yaar, jaldi se shooting khatam ho jaaye
Harshad: sahi mein, yeh army wale kaise jhelte hain? hum se acting hi nehi ho pa raha hai
Kunal: I want to go away from the jungle as soon as I can
New actors were working as Dr.Shalini and Major Nair, they remained mostly aloof from most of the gang.
The first set of scenes were shot, everything went off well except that Vikas was stung by some strange insect on the face and his face went red, there were no doctors in the surrounding and the unit only had first aid box
Aliya: ab kya kare? If it gets more serious we have to drive him to the doctor
Rajeev: just a minute, lagta hai sting andaar reh gaya hai, usse nikalta hoon
Before Rajeev could help him out, vikas said: no thanks, I can handle myself
Rajeev: par…
Vikas: I told you I don't need your help, thanks…
Priyanka: yeh kya pagalpan hai Vikas, ruk main nikal deti hoon
Vikas: nehi
Priyanka: stop it, enough drama ho gaya
And she went up to him and started operating on the sting
Rajeev saw how priyanka held up vikas' face closely and helped him…vikas' head almost rested on her belly…he turned away and went to check on Prachi
Evening descended and the unit was shooting night scenes, it was a lovely night, full moon, clear skies and everybody loved this getaway to the jungles.
Priyanka was done for the day, she had a headache again, she checked her bag for disprin, tabhi something fell down, she picked it up: it was the paper the man had given her in the restaurant, it was dark and she couldn't see what was scribbled there…then she thought it's better to give it to Rajeev, after all he doesn't want her to interfere in Prachi's matters…she went off to search for him
Putting Prachi to sleep, Rajeev was exercising, his back was turned towards her, his muscles flexing with each stroke of his movement,…priyanka felt weak in her knees
She gathered control and called him
Priyanka: ahem….mujhe tumse kuchh important baat kehna hai
Rajeev turned around, surprised: haan bolo na
Tabhi Priyanka realised the people from the unit were walking around that place, it was a pretty crowded place and she didn't want to talk about the paper here: yahan nehi, lets go somewhere else
Rajeev was amazed at her forwardness, and happy too….finally he has got some time to spend alone with his Priyanka…
They keep walking, silently, away from the unit…
Both of them kept walking, not sure how to start the conversation, Priyanka was all set to talk about Prachi but the moment she came close to Rajeev her words seemed to have dried up…Rajeev looked at Priyanka, so close yet so far…what is it that she wants to tell me…Finally he broke the silence
Rajeev: bolo Priyanka kya bolna chahti ho, his voice thick with expectation
Priyanka: uss din restaurant mein…
Rajeev: bas Priyanka, uss din ki baat mat karo
Priyanka: kyon?
Rajeev: i am sorry for that day
Priyanka: kyon?
Rajeev: Prachi ke wajah se tum logon ka event kharab ho gaya
Priyanka felt anger rising in her head again, is he really that innocent or he's just acting one, usse bilkul bhi pata nehi kya Priyanka ke dil mein kya ho raha hai?
Priyanka: yes, you should have displined Prachi a little better (she said sarcastically)
Now Rajeev felt bad, he had said that just to test Priyanka, but Priyanka sounded so serious, he could make out she was damn angry
Priyanka: don't worry, Vikas and I made up for that later (she said, wanting to hurt him more)
Rajeev felt like his breath slipping out slowly…so he was wrong, it did happen, Priyanka did say yes to Vikas…he can't do anything now, nothing…
Priyanka looked at him intently and he looked evidently upset, she somehow enjoyed seeing him like this, "woh bhi toh jale jis aag mein main jal rahi hoon"
Priyanka: by the way Aliya and you look nice together
Rajeev looked at her with pain in his eyes, why was she hurting him like this? he sounded like a beaten soldier: Aliya and I are just good friends….anyway congratulations
Rajeev's eyes were heavy, he looked like a man whose soul had been extracted out, the intense pain of loss was so prominently written all over his face that Priyanka's heart melted seeing that…she couldn' hold it anymore
Priyanka: Rajeev…she said with pain in her voice
Rajeev:I am very happy for you
Priyanka: really, are you?
Rajeev: haan…(he could hardly utter that)
Priyanka couldn't stand his pain anymore, he looked so crestfallen, she looked down and blurted out
Priyanka: maine usse na bol diya…
Rajeev couldn't believe his ears! Did he hear she had said no? suddenly his emotions took an about turn and he felt like chocking with excitement and ecstasy
Rajeev: tumne usse na bol diya….fir yeh ring?
Priyanka: yeh engagement ring nehi hai, main aise hi usse pahenti hoon
Rajeev: par tumne na kyon kahan? He could barely utter those words
Priyanka gave Rajeev one of those piercing looks…: aapko pata nehi kyon?
Now it was Rajeev's turn to look at Priyanka intensely : I think I do
He came closer to Priyanka…Priyanka was looking down now, tears about to flow from her eyes…Rajeev came closer…he held up her chin, he saw her eyes welled up…it's all because of me….i have tortured her, knowing there was something growing between us, I have hurt her when I should have pulled her closer…he remembered his rude behavior, his shouting at her and felt remorseful…but this time there was no mistake…he saw the love in Priyanka's eyes and felt confident to confess his…there were no more doubts…she did love him…
Time seemed to have stopped for both of them…they kept looking at each other till Rajeev broke the silence: I know….I know everything
Priyanka (pain in her eyes): what do you know?
Rajeev: that how could you say yes to someone else when you love somebody so much…
Priyanka lowered her eyes
Rajeev came closer: and how could you say yes when that somebody loves you madly too…
Priyanka looked up with surprise, unable to hold her tears anymore…
Rajeev: yes Priyanka, I LOVE YOU…I love you madly,
And with that he pulled Priyanka closer and wrapped her in his strong arms
That was enough for her…all these days of pent up passion seemed to flow out with her tears, she melted in his arms, hugging him back fiercely, her nails almost digging into his back…she could feel the strength of his arms holding her, the smell of his cologne, the feel of his bare skin on his chest where she had hid her face…and she knew this was the moment, she had never been happier in life, "I love you too" she could barely murmur
Rajeev's held her tightly, feeling it's just a dream, how he loved this beautiful woman sobbing in his arms, he promised to protect her for life, never to let another drop of her tears flow, he needed her, how he had almost lost her with his stupid behaviour and clung to her more tightly…no he can't think of a life without her
Rajeev raised her chin and looked at her, then he lowered his face upon her softly kissing her hair, her forehead, her cheeks….and stopped for a moment…it still seemed like a dream to him and he needed to assure himself that this was reality…but Priyanka couldn't wait more, the pain in her heart was now replaced with ecstacy and she held his handsome face with both her hands and pulled it towards her…
Rajeev bent down and touched her lips…kissing softly…and then passionately as Priyanka kissed back with passion, both were demanding, as if asking for redressal for the pains they had given each other, trying to extract as much happiness from each other as they can now…they kept kissing each other….they had urged for each other, their bodies had ached to hold each other and now when the time has come they forgot about everything else
Rajeev kissed down to her neck and…went down…but stopped…priyanka had offered no resistance…her eyes closed, her hair had come out of her neatly tied bun….her dupatta was rolling on the ground…but Rajeev controlled himself…his male passion urged for more yet the tenderness of his love prompted him to stop…he didn't want to taint this moment with anything hasty…there will be a better time
P opened her eyes and looked at him surprised and then she realized the state she was in and felt shy, she picked up her dupatta, shyly looking down, Rajeev observed her with a smile, she looked so adorable…
Rajeev: so?
Priyanka: kya so?
Rajeev: finally somebody confessed, tumne pehle kyon nehi bataya?
Priyanka: tumne bhi toh nehi bataya….ulta mujhse kitna dur ja rahe the tum
Rajeev: I am so sorry for hurting you sweety, he hugged her again, I am so sorry, I just wanted you to be safe…I wanted to keep you away from danger
Priyanka hid her face in his bare chest: how could you think I'll let you out alone in danger, even if u wanted to keep me out, I would have been by your side
Rajeev: akele kahan, Aliya thi na mere saath
Priyanka looked at him with mock anger and hit him softly: fir jao usike paas
Rajeev: wohi jata par kya karoon mere beti ko yehi mummy pasand hai
Priyanka: oho toh beti ke papa yeh sab apne beti ke liye kar raha hai
Rajeev: usse zyada apne liye, beti ke papa tumhare bina ji nehi payega
Hearing this Priyanka ruffles Rajeev's hair with adoration, "my pagal" she said teasingly
Cut to the rest of the unit:
Vikas was searching for Priyanka, tabhi he saw Aliya coming over
Aliya: hey have you seen Rajeev? Uske script mein kuchh changes discuss karna tha, pata nehi kahan chala gaya woh
Vikas: nehi, lekin tumne Priyanka ko dekha hai kya? Main kabse usse dhoondh raha hoon
Malhotra: array yeh Rajeev kahan chale gaye? Mujhe usse kuchh kaam tha, kisine dekha hai usse?
Tabhi Arjun comes looking for Priyanka: array kab se main Priya ko dhoondh raha hun, kisine dekha hai kya?
Aliya: yahan hum sab Rajeev Khandelwal aur Priyanka Bassi ko dhoondh rahe hai
Arjun: kya matlab
Vikas: matlab dono nehi mil rahe hai, ab sawal yeh hai ki eksaath ya alag alag
Arjun: array koi unka cell phone try karo na…
Aliya tries calling them and then says with a wry face: is either switched off or out of coverage area
Arjun: kahi mussibat mein toh fansh nehi gaye dono, iss virani jangal mein…
Tabhi a spotboy informs seeing them both walking together towards the jungle, away from the unit
Cut to Rajeev and Priyanka
The two had held hands and walked…they wished they could spend all their lives like this, just the two of them, no one else around…
suddenly Rajeev says : Priyanka ji lagta hai hum kafi ghane jungle mein aa gaye chalte chalte
Priyanka: oh my God, ab wapas kaise jayenge, kafi raat ho chuki hai
Rajeev: looking at Priyanka, mischievously: wapas kaun jana chahta hai, hum aj raat jungle mein hi bitayenge, tum aur main…😳
ok guys, I have listened to all your requests of bringing Raj and Pri together, hope you all enjoy, 😛😛😛there's more to come on jungle nights in the next update 😳😳
