PART 1
"guys lets go we have to pick ridz from the airport" announcing his plan he glanced at his rack of clothes to choose the best clothes for tonight while chirag looked at him with shock written on his face thinking 'will he not feel bad seeing her after yrs?...n feeling which they hav buried will not boil up?, come bak again to them? after all it still exists
inside them'
"but bro?" turning around he interrupted ritu as he knew wat was coming up next "lets do rest of the chatting in the car as she hates late comers so come on guys hurry up"
******
driving his purple civic on empty streets of mumbai he looked at his passenger seat where he always wanted her to sit but as fate wanted she hardly was able to grab that seat...but seeing his sister besides him atlas brought a smile on his ever charming face while his heart started reading his sister's expression which was soo easy that sometime he wondered is he a magician??
"come on ritu just becoz ridz and my relationship didn't work out that doesn't mean we can't be friends...grow up...and tell me one thing is there a rule saying after ur break up u can't stay friends??" as he ended his thoughts he wondered how could he use 'friends' word becoz in his life the one of the things he is sure was 'he loved her no actually he still loves her'
"friends yeah right" as she sarcastically said he looked at her rolling her eyes...adding finishing touch to her sarcastic statement
"k fine i still LOVE her but we have different path sweetheart...totally different, she has to live in australia for another 5-7 yrs and i have my future in india i can't just throw my business, career and move to australia nor can she"
seeing chirag n ritu's frowned look he glanced ahead resuming "long distance relationship can't work dear, it certainly can't plus she too has moved on, having a full time boy friend there and i also love angie"
feeling uncertain, unsure of his last few words he looked ahead, composing himself he concluded "she is nice...im happy with her"
******
after hugging her family members she turned to look at her second set of lifeline ie her friends...her everything...actually a part of her everything certainly not her whole world as she believes world doesn't end around family and friends, there is more to it
she has many things to do in her life which r also as important to her as her family and friends which are important to her...very important to her
her family + friends is a combination which completed her life...which made her strong...which helped her to stand on her toes...made her stand independently but that doesn't mean she should give up everything for them
if she had given up everything for them a part of her would not have been happy which would certainly disliked by them soo she chosen to live her dreams...move to australia three yrs back
as she hugged her friends ritu, chirag she turned towards armaan her...her??...holder of HER heart...the most possessive thing she ever had
seeing him standing like a dude...hands inside his pocket...slightly leaning on the wall...she smiled as this is the sight she was longing to see from past three yrs...had seen endless dreams in which she had returned to mumbai and saw him waiting at the airport for her...as she looked at him more closely her smile widened and eye brows shook up with a surprised look..."look at u omg i can't believe it...muscles n all hmmm not bad ammy, im flattered...totally clean bowled"
"tell me something which i haven't heard...this line is too old, i have heard it million times before" seeing her rolling her eyes at his attitude filled statement while her hands rested on her hips...ready to retort he continued "k before u retort come here give me a hug"
"i missed u" she mumbled while hugging his strong body for mins while fond memories rolled inside them...memories which may never turn into reality anymore
"me too...and u know wat this is what i haven't heard million times" chucking at his own statement his lips gave company to her lips...his lips smiling with her innocent smiling lips
feeling a light kiss on her hair she smiled further while he departed from the most longest hug they ever had
*******
"armaan u forgot i live in left not right...gosh how rude of u" as she pounted her lips looking angry yet cute to him he smiled
"ammy take a u-turn...all relatives r at home waiting for me, i just told mom u guys will drop me home n now where r u taking me" seeing she was now looking outside angrily definitely not pleased... but enjoying the breeze too he chucked remembering the old times as he still remembered she always had anger staying on her tiny nose...a tiny nest house was build up for her anger on the tip of her nose
"i remember when u had left u told me whenever u return first thing u want to do was....drive 2 marine drive n have ur fav sizzling brownie and ice cream, heated and frozen from the insides of the fridge with the wonderful breeze...n this plan was fixed n sealed" as she heard him she looked ahead the parlor was open at 5 AM 'omg how is it possible' she thought while turning to look him him...seeing he winked at her she laughed knowing he must hav paid the guy some money to open this parlor at such a odd time
"awwww ur the best" as she said she bend towards him seeing he was looking ahead with a silly grin stuck on his face
feeling a peak on his cheeks n followed by a light hug he pushed the break hard causing the car to stop all of a sudden, "ridz abhi accident ho jata...i know im looking sexy but sweetheart control yourself" he chucked seeing she was now hitting him with her purse which could be called a mini-bag as it was soo huge
"yummyy ammy...it still has the same taste" he chucked seeing it was 6:00 in the morning n this was her 4th brownie ...while people were having their morning walk in front of them n they were busy gaining calories n talking non-stop...not feeling odd talking about time they were together also...
they definitely didnt feel right to ignore those days, not talk about it as they knew those days were spl n definitely cannot be erased from their heart plus their regular meeting they would hav till ridhima's short trip to mumbai lasts would not let them erase it too
*******
drinking her fifth large meat vodka glass she looked at armaan who was dancing on the floor...the club was full today as Saturday night means clubs full of people but then too among the huge cloud and dim light she read his facial expression...seeing his upset look she frowned mumbling "y is he upset i should be upset as he ignored me the whole day and was roaming with angie"
remembering her evening phone call with him she placed her sixth glass to her lips
--flashback starts--
"where the hell r u ammy? I have been calling u from morning and all i got was 'this no is unreachable'" as she yelled at him she found herself wrong in asking him his where abouts, does she owns a right to ask him? well she certainly has she answered to herself
"ah i was out with...with angie, today was our first anniversary soo was out celebrating n the battery went off" as she heard him she sighed she still has right but may be less than angie...or more than her?...ofcourse more, i know him from yrs n angie from hardly 2 yrs...smiling again she found her voice back she spoke again "oh....congrats...i n rahul completed 1 and 1/2 yrs a week back"
"ok listen be ready in 15 mins we r going for clubbing" saying he cut the call knowing clubbing will cheer up their mood
--flashback ends--
losing her senses she looked around in desperation as she now wanted to hit the dance floor while feeling high on emotions...plus the music was dragging her to the floor...dancing and clubbing always did wonders to her foil mood
noticing chirag wasn't able to hold ridz while she was dancing like a maniac from past fifteen mins he signed...now standing close to her he further noticed she was drunk to the core...and now was not able to stand still but was arguing with chirag to let him dance...grabbing her in his arms he pulled her in a corner while asking her to shut up, as last thing he wanted was people's attention
"i wanna dance" she declared to him and within seconds started dancing to the remixed fast songs played by the famous DJ AKEEL while trying hard to attempt clubbing steps with her bad state of mind and body
Jaise Ho Waise Rehna Tumse Bas Yahi Kehna
Kehna Hai Tume Ae Mere Yaar
I Love You For You Are ...
"i love u for wat ur" as she sang the lyrics again she danced more closer to him...pointing a finger on him...making him land into a new galaxy...but still with a slight frown stuck on her pretty face...frown for wat?? he wondered
pulling his collar with a mixed emotion now, she continued to sing
O O Baby Love Me For What I Am
I Will Love You For Who You Are
Aw Aw Baby - 2
Mere Ehsaas Mein Hai Tasavuur Tera
Teri Aaghosh Mein Chain Rehta Mera
Aw Aw Baby
as he noticed she was going out of control he scooped her in his arms while she sang the lines in a whisper this time
You Drive Me Wild You Drive Me Crazy
I Love You So O Baby Baby
You Make Me Mad You Make Me Crazy
I Want You So O Baby Baby
********
"chirag u know whom armaan loves? No naa i will tell u he loves anjali not me...ritu he doesn't love me...not me...he loves anjali...ignores me" seeing from the rare mirror chirag and ritu were not able to control her non stop talk he drove the car faster and at a inappropriate speed...atlas stopped the car at their destination ie chirag and ritu love nest...their small and sweet house
turning around he smiled slightly seeing she had lightly calmed down but still was mumbling while ritu her hair gently...as he waved to chirag-ritu he picked up his mobile n dialed a no "hello aunty...yeah aunty armaan here...ridz has slept in ritu's place while catching up with her...yea we all for were together...i will drop her in the morning...good night aunty"...taking a deep breath he slid in the back seat where she was, wondering where should he take her now as she wasnt in a position to go home
*******
dawn was approaching fast...and the chirping of the birds was heard... "ummm.." she made a funny sound as if someone was waking her up but she wanted to sleep more...head resting on a pillow...a hard one...while hugging a hard pillow too..."y is my pillow hard" she thought still eyes closed n not in her senses...
as she analyzed her position still with close eyes she felt someone breath on her slightly damped hair...as her senses started working she was shocked...her eyes opened wide...
she was cuddled into his arms...wrapped between the heat of his body and his coat... her head was resting on his chest...his shirt was clutched in her fingers...n understood it was not a pillow it was him...she thought he was the pillow she laughed at her own imagination whispering "yeah he is a pillow but a hard one"
seeing he held her like a kid.... she lowered a bit into him as she knew she was still feeling dizzy...her head was aching as she tried to rewind her mind to last night...trying to remember what crap she did... her mind was clouding....but at the same movement couldn't deny the fact that she had most peaceful sleep yesterday night...
but as the events of the night came running in her mind she shook herself...cursed herself...hated herself and more over was highly ashamed n embarrassed...remembering what she told him in the night
**PLZ DO LEAVE UR COMMENTS, GOOD OR BAD...I WOULD LOVE 2 HAVE THEM
precap: "can we...we...can we go around till ur in india" as he turned to hear the answer to his question...he knew having a stready relationship with her for next one month would be more fruitful than anything else to them...now everything depended on her
