The next morning sujal goes to office, but kashish doesn't wish him,
the entire world wishes him but he is sad over that fact that his
world isn't even aware… he tries to tell kashish, he asks her out but
she refuses saying she has an imp work. Sujal is disappointed beyond
words… his emotions are on a high as he loses out at reasoning even
with himself. A dejected sujal comes home and then the entire house
lights up as the entire family screams surprise. Sujal is so happy…
cuts the cake and goes inside…
Kashish is there too with her sisters(who are busy vying for rishi's
attention) kashish is happy wants to wish sujal… but doesn't manages
just a 'hi' and asks him how the party is, before he can answer she
says piyush has worked very hard for it… he tells her a plain it is
nice… that is when piyush pulls away a reluctant kashish for a dance
leaving behind a disturbed sujal. sujal then walks infront of kashish
and puts out his hand, when she is about to give her hand he takes
archie's hand and moves away… now it is kashish's turn to feel
jealous. She cant understand why sujal is giving her cold shoulders…
all this tension and emotions and insecurities takes a toll on both
of them which ends up in a big huge showdown….
When sujal comes to know that kashish had arranged for the party, he
gets even more irritated he tells that she wasnt required to do it.
Kashish who till now was happy coz it was HIS b'day is shattered and
leaves in tears when Sujal follows her and tells her he hasn't
finished, she says she has nothing more to listen. Sujal then tells
her that he knows kashish is double timing him and piyush. (all this
though was an accusation it was great as both of them had
acknowledged the fact that they belonged to eachother and couldn't
take anyone coming in between) kashish gets hurts and says that
piyush is just a friend and he is mistaken the entire relationship.
Kashish in a fit of pain says "I hate you" sujal gets angry and
says "even I hate you" and as they stood separate their hearts
cried…. Kashish left in a hurry and sujal stood alone with a tear in
his eyes.
Piyush tells sujal to apologize to kashish for being rude to her…
sujal refuses, but then he feels he should tell piyush sorry, piyush
says kashish is the one who deserves it. Just then kashish comes into
the cabin, kashish & sujal looked at eachother and they knew in an
instant that what ever it was it was THEIRS and they would not get
the world to know of it. piyush tries to ease the tension but in
vain. Piyush gets a call from the factory he has to go before he goes
he tells kashish that she will have to come with him to palampur
t'row they would go and return the same day. Kashish says ok… sujal
is uick to make a note of it. piyush leaves… sujal and kashish are
alone. kashish waits a moment as their eyes lock and then turns
around to leave… she cant, her dupatta is stuck, she tells sujal to
leave her dupatta, sujal doesn't understand it at first and then
sees, her duppata is stuck to the table…sujal smiles at her thought
that he was holding her dupatta. He walks away in front of her.. she
moves but her duppata is still struck. That is when she realizes that
it wasn't sujal.
well as piyush n kasish suppose to leave for palampur.The driver picked up kashish from her house and reached the R & G
mansion where piyush was supposed to join her on the official trip to
Palampur.As the driver informs her that 'Saab' always drives, she
gets down from the back seat and sits in the front, as the door of
the car opened she said "Hi Piyush…" and stopped at that as Sujal sat
inside the car. The Look that he gave was as if he was justified in
accusing her about her relationship with piyush. he gave a cold stare
and stared the car, kashish out of curiosity asked him "piyush nahi
aye…" sujal in a rude manner highlighting is irritation and his
possessiveness said "hum wahan kam ke silsile main jarahe hain… main
jao ya piyush kya farak padta hai? aur waise bhi yeh project papa ne
mujhe handle karne ko kaha hai. varna I have got better things to
do." Sujal seals the conversation with that trade mark cold stare and
reverses the car.
Through those lonely nights of uncertainty finally the morning dawned
on sujal and kashish as they set off on a journey together that
defined their relationship, defined eachother in the theirs lives
together. As they drove through the valleys of Himachal their silence
spoke volumes as they didn't trust their voices to say anything. An
occasional glance from sujal, an awkward reaction from kashish and a
romantic song on the radio made it an intriguing journey to look
forward to.
On their way sujal stopped at a well to drink some water… he drew the
water out of the well drank, he turned around to see kashish standing
their…she put her hands forward for water. Sujal looked at her put
the bucket back into the well and handed over the rope to her to help
herself. She was angry with him, she picked up the rope and started
drawing the water as sujal stood with his back against her. kashish
obviously wasn't able to do… then sujal suddenly heard a plunge into
the water and kashish's scream, he turned around dreading the worst
but it was the bucket that fell back into the well. He went and stood
next to her wanting her to ask him to help her but she wouldn't, so
he just snatched the rope from her and pulled out the water.He held
it for her to drink she puts forward her hands and he sees it
bleeding coz it fully bruised by the rope. A pang of guilt struck
sujal as he looked apologetically at her… she looked sad. After a sec
he held out his own hands in front of her to drink water from…
kashish looked into his eyes and saw a genuine sujal, as she bend
down to drink from his hands, the moment froze for eternity as sujal
just saw her when pouring the water… even long after she had finshed.
When the realization came in sujal left giving her an embarrassed
look with a twinkle in those eyes making kashish shy away.
In between
all this, sujal had left his mobile on the well, kashish who was
about to leave stops when she hears it ring. She answers the call it
is from archie. kashish says she will take the message as sujal isn't
there. archie sarcastically says that sujal has started to work his
charm on her as well and he would rebuke her when she tries to get
close to her. Kashish comes back to the car in a bad mood, she was
disturbed by what archie had said on one side and was jealous of
sujal's relationship with archie on the other. sujal asks her if she
is feeling better, she keeps quiet, sujal losses his temper and
drives away fast.
The reach palampur. They are actually here to select a factory site
for their 'Josh' Project. The agent shows them a place and sujal
okays it but kashish vetoes it saying the infrastructure and the
transportation will be a problem. The agent asks them for another
day's time kashish says they don't have it coz they are leaving the
same day itself. Sujal says coz it is important they will stay back
in the town. Kashish is shocked to hear this from sujal, immediately
she misunderstands him and relates this to what had told her.
They reach the hotel and find that only one room is available,
kashish refuses to see sense as she blames sujal of trying to get
familiar with her and leaves. sujal stops her and tells she doesn't
have to leave coz he is leaving. Kashish comes into her room and is
pacing around when the manager comes and apologizes for the
inconvenience caused, he explains sujal had asked for 2 rooms in the
morining itself but they couldn't accommodate them. Kashish starts to
feel guilt for her behaviour and decides to ask for forgiveness… she
comes to the car park she finds sujal sleeping in his car,
uncomfortably. She knocks at his window he wakes up and is concerned
as to why she is here at this time. kashish tells him to come in,
sujal says it is fine he is comfortable here. kashish says she is
genuinely sorry for misunderstanding him, sujal says it is fine but
still maintains to stay back in the car. Kashish also adamantly says
she is not going in with out him, sujal gives in gets down from the
car walks up to kashish who is standing with her back against him and
says "chale.." kashish turns around with a big smile and sujal puts
out his hand asking her to walk first.
They come to room, kashish calls up her family to say that she had to
stay back for the day and instructs them on what to be done… as
kashish speaks to her family sujal sitting by the fireplace making
the fire senses that kashish's family is a well knit family. kashish
makes coffee for him and decides to ask him something. Sujal asks her
what it is she says why didn't he correct her when she was thinking
wrong about him. sujal replies that he doesn't like to justify
himself coz if he does justify himself to another person he tends to
establish an emotional bond with them. He says he has seen people
take advantage of emotions so doesn't let anyone come close to him.
kashish explains that relationships enhances a person's life, sujal
differs to say he feels relationships weaken people. Kashish tries to
make him understand that in life they come across different
relationships, some stay on, some get left behind, some relations are
such that they continue even after death. She gives an example of her
parents who relationship remains though her mom had died long back,
sujal says in the case of his parents there is everything but the
only thing that is missing is a relationship. He says "main tanhayee
deke hai, dard dekha hai, thute huhe riste deke hain nahi dekha hai
tho sirf apnapan…" kashish not able to take such a sad sujal decides
to end the topic and play some music.
This scene was a masterpiece as it showed such a complex and an
always aware of himself sujal open up and bear his heart out to
kashish. Sujal hadn't spoken of these things to anyone before, most
were emotions he had avoided himself. But with kashish next to him he
was so comfortable sharing his pain, his past and his fear. And
kashish so ably heard him out with compassion wanting to reach out
and help him out of the solitude he had assigned himself to.
As the music played at the back drop and sujal sat down with his
laptop to work, kashish sitting on the floor near the sofa went to
sleep. Sujal never realized she had slept until he took a moment off
from his work. He saw kashish sleeping and shivering in the cold. He
switched off the music got a shawl and put it around her, stopped for
a min smiled at her sleeping and got back to work. He again got up to
put a cushion under her head to rest it properly, at first he did a
clumsy job as it fell off in few minutes. He then got down and was
trying to adjust the cushion, when kashish turned towards him and
leaned on his shoulders and went to sleep. Sujal was in an absolute
dilemma what to do…. He was wondering what she would do think if she
woke up, but at the same didn't want to wake her from her sleep. So
after a moment he sat down himself and made kashish comfortable.
Kashish slept peacefully with her head on his shoulder as he watched
her sleep in his arms, completely charmed by her beautiful innocence,
which he felt the need to protect from the harsh cold winds.
Sujal after sometime went to sleep with kashish on his shoulders and the file on his lap. Kashish woke up in the morning turned towards him as smiled to see him next to her. Then the sudden wakening came when she realized she was sleeping on his shoulders she got up very upset but seeing sujal sleep, she forgot everything, she stood there as she saw her Dream sleeping like an innocent kid. Now she felt the need to make him comfortable took away he file from his lap, made a comfortable head rest for him and rested his head on that. Again seeing him she walked away with a smile on her face. They got ready to leave palampur, a moment of romance presented itself when kashish made sujal's tie proper. Just then archie landed up there, kashish is irritated by her presence here. Archie goes on to pass sarcastic comments about both of them, sujal just withholding his temper. Archie goes on to remind sujal that the last time they had come here they stayed in the same hotel, by the time sujal could react he saw, the damage was done, kashish left the room almost in tears telling sujal that she was in the car. Now sujal turns to archie and asks her what is she upto and why she spoke like that… archie tells him she didn't lie but sujal says nor did she tell the entire truth. The truth was they had come with their entire family for a holiday. He is worried about what kashish thought archie tells him why he is reacting like this afterall they are family friends, and sujal confirms that they are ONLY family friends. | |
