Well , this is for all a&j lovers-the besharam gang members😉..quite a loooooooong one..hope u dont get bored..
Romantics can go straight to the Goa scene.. Puritans,start right from the beginning....Hope u guys like it....
Armaan was stunned on seeing mallika partying and her behaviour bothered him in a strange way..So, he hid himself in a corner to try and uncover the truth,whatever it was.As he stood there, he sensed a movement and someone entering the hall.It was Aryan, and he appeared a bit flustered,which was so unlike him..Aryan immediately made his apologies and took Mallika outside.Armaan felt that something was amiss and followed them..Out in the darkness he strained and tried to hear their muffled conversation..As he heard about Mallika's non-existant pregnancy and about the scandalous plots so cunningly executed by Mallika,Aryan and Parbatlal he lost his compusure completely..With eyes blazing and jaws clenched he left homeward with determination.
Mallika,unaware that her game was up, reached the Suri house in record time hoping that Aryan had taken care of everything and that Armaan had not uncovered anything about her fake pregnancy.As she was talking to Ila about her pregnancy and her so-called visit to the gynacologist, Armaan slowly entered the room..As his coat billowed out behind him he settled in front of the woman, who he had now come to hate with all his heart..Mallika turned on all her feminine charms and was about to tell him about the visit to the doctor, when she stopped in her tracks on seeing the strange yet terrifying look on Armaan's face..A small squeal of fright escaped through her lips as she stepped backward and nearly falling off her high-heeled shoes in the process.Armaan's hands clamped around her arms in a vise like grip, and he smashed her against the cold,hard wall..A deathly fear settled over Mallika, making her more terrified than she had ever been in her entire life, as she wondered if this night would be her last..
Armaan held her with his blazing eyes and spoke with a deep and demonic whisper,"Mallika,for long i have put up with your scheming and manipulative nature.Did you honestly think that you can get away with your fake and selfish motives? Your false love,false concern, false pregnancy, using me as a scapegoat to destroy jassi, seperating me and jassi..everything has finally been revealed..So, before i lose control and if you do want to live,then sign these divorce papers..right here, right now.." Mallika, as a final attempt,immediately went down on her knees and begged Ila's and Armaan's forgiveness and tried to justify her actions, giving the reason that she had done everything, all out of love for Armaan.With a growl that almost sounded inhuman, Armaan lifted her up and on seeing the flaming fury, her muscles froze with stark terror and her eyes widened with shock..In the dim light that bathed the room, Armaan's eyes seemed to glow red, as they glared at Mallika with hatred...His entire body was taut with exertion and muscles rippled beneath his shirt..He looked so terrifying,that her breath was threatening to stick in her throat.."I....",she cleared her throat in an attempt to talk, but Armaan stopped her and in a menacing voice said," Sign the papers,Mallika..." Mallika, stunned and almost in a terrified trance signed the papers and left the Suri house silently...Ila moved towards Armaan,in an attempt to console him, but Armaan stopped her and very quietly left the room...The silent storm unleashed by Armaan's fury had finally subsided and quiet calmness prevailed....
The marriage between Armaan and Mallika, a marriage built on falsehood and deceit, had finally ended..The next day, the press had a field day, trying to unearth the skeletons in the closet..Sensitivity and privacy took the back seat, as the disastrous marriage of Armaan and Mallika became the the gossip of the city..The depression was slowly geting to Armaan and so he decided on a 1 week sojourn in Goa and incidentally it also happened to be the place where he was to meet Mr.Bhattacharya,the film director, who was on a search for a good fashion house to design the costumes for his upcoming film,Cleopatra..and Armaan left for Goa the same evening..Meanwhile in a different part of the city,Jassi had left Raghav's place and had gone back to her own house,back to Papaji,mama and bebe,all of whom who had come back to Mumbai..The press, in the meantime, had finally got wind of mallika's fake pregnancy report, and the Suri's were having a tough time in keeping the reporters at bay..Jassi on hearing about the dissolved marriage of Armaan and Mallika,felt her defences crumbling and her thoughts were slowly turning towards Armaan,but then her humiliation in Nainital stopped her and she focussed all of her energies on her work..At Karishma designs, Nandu gave her the information about the film director and both Jassi and Nandu left for Goa immediately...
Goa.....There is almost a fairy tale and an exotic quality about the place..The stunningly beautiful landscape,wild trees in all their majestic glory,beaches in their pristine form.and authenticity at every bend, springing delightful surprises,everything,takes your breath away...Armaan, checked into the Le Meridian, and after a calm night he woke up the next morning, as gentle morning rays bathed his room and as a cool breeze played on his face..Looking outside the window, the soothing sound of dew dropping from the leaves and the picturesque landscape exhilarated his senses..and he allowed himself to slowly surrender to the seduction of the idyllic setting,which had an overpowering air of romance,knowing that life couldn't get better than this..The day passed without a hitch..The meeting with Mr.Bhattacharya was quite a smooth process, and the director had promised to express his decision in a days time..Jassi and Nandu also had their scheduled meeting with the director and the same reply was given to them too....
Jassi decided to stay in Goa for few more days..It was a pleasant and delightful change from the hurried rush of life, back home..In her hotel room,after the meeting,she and nandu were discussing about the deal..But, jassi's thoughts were continuously wavering...An alien and strange feeling was perpetually occupying her senses and thoughts of Armaan were intensifying at a drastic rate..Sensing her discomfiture,Nandu said,"Jaasi,i think it would be better if we go out for a walk.Get ready, i'll be back in a few minutes.."A few moments later both Jassi and Nandu left the hotel..Outside, both jassi and nandu threw themselves into the spirit of things and enjoyed the evening,wallowing in the tourist friendly city . Walking,they finally reached a small village..The rural backdrop had its own overpowering charm and and an old church at the outskirts of the village ,dominated the serene visage..The church was almost in ruins,yet the feeling to go inside the church was overpowering..Nandu said,"Jassi, i have no intention of endangering my life.The church is in ruins.So,i am warning you.."But jassi adamantly replied,"Nandu,u continue with ur walk..i'll join u later...i'd like to be left alone for sometime..ok??". Nandu acceded to her request and went on his way..
Jassi entered and perused the remains of the church around her..Looking around at the dark forbidding stones,she shivered,and wanted to leave the place before her imagination got the better of her..Just then she noticed a staircase that led to some dark part of the church..Her curiosity got the better of her and she ascended the staircase.Before she realized it, darkness had begun to close in behind her. When she could no longer see the stair beneath her foot, she decided it was time to retreat to the safety of known reality...it had started to rain heavily and jassi had no option other than staying there till the rain stopped..But she had to go down..The noise of storm and thunder echoing across the darkness sounded eerie and forbidding..As she was about to take a step,she heard the unmistakable sound of thunder and a huge crash beneath her feet.."Don't go."The whispered words seemed to come from all around her. The hair on the back of Jassi's neck stood straight up, her stomach clenched painfully, and her throat tightened so that she could barely breath. She stopped dead still, hoping her imagination was playing tricks on her. "Don't run, you'll fall!".The voice was louder now, the sharp edge of command unmistakable..Was that a footstep on the stairs below her? Fear was stealing the air from her lungs. Her toe caught the edge of a step, causing her to trip slightly. She put her hand on the wall to steady herself and felt something move beneath her palm. With a little scream, she jumped sideways to get away from whatever menace occupied the wall and felt her foot slide off the edge of the stair, plunging into nothingness. With a scream, she became airborne, plummeting into the darkness below.Strong hands, closed on her body..Temporarily limp with fear, she was pulled tightly against the hardest body she had ever felt. Her head slid in under his chin as he wrapped her in his strong arms. "Are you all right?"Oh, that voice! It had returned to a whisper, but the deep, masculine voice of Armaan would reach her at all situations.The words rumbled through Armaan's chest like thunder.. Keeping one arm around her shoulders, he used the other hand to raise her chin. She knew that she would be looking into his eyes if she could see him, but all she saw was deeper darkness where his face should have been.Jassi, very desperately tried to see through the muddled and hazy thoughts and come back to her senses..Afraid her voice would shake and she would make a fool of herself if she spoke she remained silent,but kept struggling in Armaan's arms in an attempt to free herself..But Armaan's grip tightened and in a low voice that sounded angry and furious,he said,"Jassi..just stay still..otherwise you would end up killing both of us.."And Armaan slowly and very protectively guided Jassi through some other path,struggling to find their way in the darkness..After what seemd an eternity,they finally reached the ground floor...Jassi shuddered as she thought about how close she had been to death and giving in to the maelstrom of emotions shattering her heart and mind she started sobbing uncontrollably..Armaan,holding her tightly against him,whispered comforting words in an attempt to console her..Finally her sobs subsided,and she looked up hesitantly at Armaan and was surprised to see tears in his eyes..Armaan released her from his arms and looking into her eyes he said,"Mrs.Oberoi,i hope that you are not hurt..I would like to accompany you to your hotel,but i am pretty sure that you would not appreciate it..So, take care Mrs.Oberoi and have a good day.."And he was about to turn around and leave when jassi stopped him and said,"Thank you for saving my life,Mr.Armaan Suri.."Her lack of emotion,warmth and even familiarity pained him and in a voice laced with pain and desperation he said,"Jassi..i am sure that you would have come to know about my disastrous marriage which i had ended yesterday..And don't think that i am manipulating your emotions, on the other hand i am just stating the fact.. Aryan,Mallika and Parbatlal were the ones responsible behind your humiliation in the court in Nainital..I had been blind to all the happenings around me and in the process allowed myself to be used as a scapegoat by Mallika and Aryan..Now, i don't have anything or anybody to prove this.All that i have is just the love i had,have and will forever have for you..You can either accept it or refuse it..either way,now i dont have any right to call you jassi eh.??Anyway Mrs.Oberoi, have a beautiful future with your husband Raghav..Good bye......"And with that he turned and left the church,out into the pouring rain...
As the truth dawned on her,her emotions started running haywire,her breath came in gasps, her face paled,and tears slowly started welling in her eyes.. And slowly she realised that Armaan had been innocent all along and that he was still in love with her..A wide plethora of emotions played on her tear stained face and her whole being turned alive with love,happiness and joy...coming out of her shock,she realised that Armaan had left her..With desperation she rushed out into the rain,with her heart and mind aching with love for Armaan,all her defences,ego,pride...everything crumbled...Her entire being was screaming out loud,"Armaan...where are you?? i love you..."She was losing her breath and the furious onset of tumultous emotions was slowly taking its toll and finally the world turned dark...
When she woke up,it was night and she was in some room,on a bed..With a start she got up and tried to focus and make sense of the surroundings... Candle light bathed the room and there in front of her stood Armaan..At that instant all her past memories came rushing and tears furiously started welling up in her eyes..Armaan came to her and with a voice laced with warmth and concern he said,"Jassi,dont mistake me..i found you unconscious, in the rain..so,i brought you here as i didn't know where you were staying..As soon as you feel better,you can leave.Now, just stay here and rest for sometime..i'd get you coffee.."He was about to leave,when jassi held his hand and stopped him.Surprised and confused, he looked at her enquiringly..Jassi, very softly said,"Armaan,i am sorry..for everything..for doubtin your love for me..for hurting you with my harsh and cruel words..if possible can you forgive me??I know...."She was about to continue but Armaan stopped her,gently placing a finger on her lips..and he said,"Jassi..dont..there is no necessity for you to ask forgiveness..in love there is no room for grudges..and i love you.."Armaan looked at her,with all the strength and depth of his love for her coming to the fore..Both of them were about to lose themselves in the intensity of the moment, when Armaan suddenly remembered raghav and broke from the reverie and turned away abruptly..and sounding so desolate and lost,he said,"Jassi...Raghav would be expecting your call..so, give me the name of the hotel where u are staying..i'll drop you.."But Jassi sat there still..The look in her eyes was so strange..Jassi said, "Armaan..i have something to say to you..Raghav is not my husband..he is just a friend.."and she told Armaan all about Raghav and his father..When she finished,Armaan slowly realised that Jassi was finally his..The enormity of the truth hit him with tremendous force and he oh so slowly moved his hands to Jassi's face and held her..caressing her with infinte love and tenderness, he said,"Jassi..i love you..."Jassi was slowly losing herself and she could feel the very masculine warmth emanating from his body..She felt her cheeks grow warm as she shyly gazed at Armaan's eyes glowing with tender desire..Armaan took her in his strong arms, and jassi felt herself being lifted carefully and completely above and away from the candlelit room into a gauzy twilight of fading reality.Time and place ceased to exist as she soared beyond substance in a dreamlike fairyland.The dark starless night encircled them, and Jassi laid her head comfortably upon Armaan's strong shoulder.The moon had risen, and in its pale light she suddenly found her face very close to Armaan's. His lips hovered just above hers.In the face of this man's startling reality, his virile substance, jassi felt giddy..She ran her tongue over her dry lips. He had not moved, and the silence between them raged on. His fingers tightened, and their gentle pressure sent waves of eager warmth coursing through Jassi's being. "Shall I be the one?", Armaan said with tender gravity. His lips came down toward hers. For a timeless moment they lingered just above her. Jassi could feel their breathing blend in the tiny starlit space that separated them. With infinite yearning they came together in a rapturous kiss and she closed her eyes and allowed herself to be swept into the surge of Armaan's compelling passion. Her arms entwined around his neck as a pliant fervor spread through her body. Her lips met his with their own demands. Jassi was swept away in a tender maelstrom of passion. After a long moment, Armaan released her and with one powerful yet gentle motion , he laid her on the bed,hidden from the world..Abandoning herself to a glorious surrender, Jassi laid back on its languid folds with hitherto unknown passions overwhelming her senses.Her hair was loose about her shoulders in a wild array of waves, her cheeks flushed..And Armaan in a husky voice said,"Beautiful..."and as Armaan trailed gentle teasing kisses, the sudden rush of throbbing excitement took Jassi by surprise and she wondered at it..With a groan,Armaan captured her lips, his kiss now more rough,passionate and demanding.A tempest was building inside of her, and she did not know or care where it would carry her. She only knew that his lips and hands were transporting her to a land of rapture. He had made her body his sweet captive, and she never wished to be rescued.Her impatience for him, Armaan knew, was born of innocence. And though his body reeled with desire, his mind kept a firm grasp on reality and with a ragged sigh he pulled away and just held her close to him...With his strong arms encircling her supple young body, he held her firmly and steadied her. He stroked her hair as he drew her head to his broad chest and murmured low, gentling words to quiet the tremors that stirred her..Revelling in the warmth of his embrace, she felt a completeness that she had not known before. Finally, as her trembling abated, she pushed herself back to look up into Armaan's eyes. She found an intense mixture of gentle love and passionate desire there.He drew her back toward him, and her soft cheek rested against his muscular chest. And Armaan gently lifted her by her chin and very reverently asked,"Jassi, will you marry me??" "Yes....",she replied softly. Armaan pressed her small white hand to his rough cheek and held her close to himself in a warm and loving embrace. "Thank you with all my heart," he said. Jassi whispered ,"I love you...and i want to live with you till the end of time...Dont leave me Armaan,not now..not ever..". Jassi felt the pounding of his heart against her cheek. She wondered at the tenderness of his caress. She wondered at its aching warmth and at its gentle hunger. She could not possibly know that for Armaan Suri, her simple declaration was the beginning of his life,of their life together.....
Romantics can go straight to the Goa scene.. Puritans,start right from the beginning....Hope u guys like it....

He stroked her hair as he drew her head to his broad chest and murmured low, gentling words to quiet the tremors that stirred her..Revelling in the warmth of his embrace, she felt a completeness that she had not known before. Finally, as her trembling abated, she pushed herself back to look up into Armaan's eyes. She found an intense mixture of gentle love and passionate desire there.He drew her back toward him, and her soft cheek rested against his muscular chest. And Armaan gently lifted her by her chin and very reverently asked,"Jassi, will you marry me??" "Yes....",she replied softly. Armaan pressed her small white hand to his rough cheek and held her close to himself in a warm and loving embrace. "Thank you with all my heart," he said. Jassi whispered ,"I love you...and i want to live with you till the end of time...Dont leave me Armaan,not now..not ever..". Jassi felt the pounding of his heart against her cheek. She wondered at the tenderness of his caress. She wondered at its aching warmth and at its gentle hunger. She could not possibly know that for Armaan Suri, her simple declaration was the beginning of his life,of their life together.....
