Chapter 2- MORE CLASHES
It had already been 15 minutes since they'd left Mumbai and had started heading towards Lonavala. She'd heard about it so much from her friends and her colleagues and a lot of her friends have been living there but she has never been there. She was so excited that she was going to meet one of her best friends after so long. She'd missed him like hell especially with the Prithvi episode. She told herself to be strong and especially in front of this bhondu! That totally made her smile wickedly. Shiv saw this and was worried cause he knows this smile of hers means she's probably going to do something wrong to him.
"Did you know, even a donkey can drive faster than you? Oops… my bad, I shouldn't say that, right? Cause now that I'm comparing you with a donkey, the poor donkey will feel insulted." She laughed at her own joke while he pretended to look angry but just couldn't help but dreamily listen to her laughing. It was the most angelic laugh he'd ever heard. Now he knew for sure how God too jumbles up and makes mistakes. He made one bad mistake by giving this naughty girl such an angelic and innocent face and especially her laugh. He added to support his hypothesis.
She looked at him from the corner of her eye and noticed he looked so cute when the wind blew through his hair making them flare around and being pushed behind in force. She also noticed the stitches right above his eye, on the upper part of his right eyebrow. She concluded that it made him look even hotter and gave him the "Bad Ass" impression. She loved it.
Shiv noticed her dreamy impressions and said in a mischievously way, "You know like I told you this morning it's really not that hard to tell me I'm so hot?"
She said with a smile, "You know Shiv… you remind me of the ocean."
Shiv got so excited but couldn't believe his ears, "Oh yeah like I'm so wild, exciting, dreamy and romantic?"
Gauri laughed, "Huh, yeah right Shiv! I meant how you just simply make me sick just like the ocean makes me!"
"Uggh… whatever!" now this was Shiv's time to shut up.
Gauri got so bored and so did Shiv but he'd give anything to bore Gauri at the moment so he too didn't say anything. Because both of them were stubborn out of their wits, the unbearable silence continued. Gauri got so frustrated because she couldn't even read in the car because it made her sick so she went to sleep. On the other hand, Shiv had no choice but to drive. Seeing Gauri sleeping irritated him even more! What the hell does this girl think of herself. She'll make us leave early in the morning and then she'll sleep forever in the car making me drive. This woman is going to drive me up the wall one day.
"Gauri! Gauri! UTHO Gauri!" he tried and nudged her. Gauri had gotten up but just to annoy Shiv even more she pretended to be sleeping.
"Stop acting like you're sleeping because I know you're not!" There was still no response from her.
"You're forcing me, Gauri" he warned in a dangerous tone.
"ok, fine." He leaned forward towards her. So close to her that he could hear her heart beats go crazy. His scent drove her crazy. He smiled at her expression. He sat back in his seat again and blasted the radio which was playing Rafta Rafta Remix.
She jumped up and stared at him unbelievably. The man was unpredictable. A second ago he was so close and in a way romantic and the next second he's all rude and arrogant and egoistic. Aarrgghhhh… Fagot!
"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? CAN'T YOU SEE I WAS SLEEPING! YOU HAVE NO MANNERS I TELL YOU!"
"oohh… so I have no manner?!? Am I the one whose making her bodyguard a driver all of a sudden? If I can't sleep then so can't you! And yeah, can't you talk to me properly, damn it?
"NO!"
Gauri didn't sleep cause she actually felt guilty… actually why should I feel guilty the bloody donkey's the one who blasted the music. Idiot! Now I will definitely sleep! She shut her eyes and went to sleep.
God, she's so stubborn! How much am I going to flex with this inflexible woman! Shiv! Calm down! You can do this! She has a boyfriend right now and you need to win her heart away. Oh my god! How should I do that now? Shiv, calm down will ya? He sighed.
He saw the gas was on low so he stopped at a gas station. He looked at Gauri who was in dreamland sleep. He couldn't wake her up because she looked so adorable. He got out of the car filled the gas and went into the store to grab some snacks. When he came out, to his utter horror, Gauri had vanished from the car. He started panicking. He started screaming, "Gauri! Gauri! WHERE ARE YOU? Gauri! SHIT! WHAT AM I GONNA DO NOW?"
Just then he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He turned around and he saw the madam standing right there with a smile on her face.
Shiv is so sweet! He was so worried about me! And it was me who thinking wrong about him!
"WHAT THE HELL, Gauri! WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?"
"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? GOD! I HAD TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!!!" Uggh.. as soon as he gains a tint of my friendship he looses it the next instant.
"Oh… Gauri I was so worried about you." His voice turned so warm and caring she couldn't help but melt.
"Ok! Ok! I'm sorry… I should have waited until you came back!" god… why did she always have to blow up on the poor guy. She felt bad.
"Ha… I finally mastered the art of making you apologized." She looked at him in disbelief. UUUGGH….
She stomped her feet and banged the door shut.
"Can you shut the door any louder?"Shiv asked sarcastically.
"YES, I CAN. AND HERE LET ME PROVE IT TO YOU." She opened the door and once again slammed it shut but this time it was much louder.
"Jeez! Relax woman… I was just kidding!"
Gauri glared at him motioning him to shut the hell up. She sighed angrily and set her head back on the head rest and went to sleep once again.
********
She walked out the office with the same confidence she had during the meeting. She was so excited and filled with energy that she filled the whole board room with just an hour ago. She proved her self to Mr. Singhania and she felt on top of the world when not only he but the whole company came and congratulated her. She had worked so hard for six months non stop and she had finally done it that many inexperienced people couldn't do.
She jumped into the car and shut the door. She looked at Shiv who was sitting in the driver's seat. He was smiling away just like she was. What's this sadoo upto now? Oh God! You just made my day now don't let it go down the drain.
This seems like a good sign he concluded. If she was so happy then it means that she got the contract. He made a mental note to inform Mr. Singhania of the further instructions.
Gauri felt something odd happening between them. She knew she had to something and get rid of this idiot! She hated living with someone or depending on someone because she has a habit of getting to use to them and she definitely not in a million years wanted to become friendly or close to the stewpid monkey. She was happy with the three close friends she had, Epshita, Rahul and her best friend in Lonavala, the best friend who knows every secret of her, the best friend who let her cry on his shoulder when she could face no one, the best friend who made her laugh in between her tears, the best friend who was always there for her no matter what.
They reached the house after having her fumbling her hands in her purse and handing him the note with the address on it.
She was so excited. As soon as Shiv hit his foot on the breaks, she flung the door open and climbed the stairs heading towards the doorstep. She started jabbing her hands onto the door bell getting impatient every moment. Finally, what seemed like a half an hour to Gauri the door flung open. She jumped onto the man in front of him and squeezed his lungs out. After releasing him, she started on her long lecture. "Idiot! How long does it take you to open the damn door? I missed you so much! You never even called me so i thought of surprising you!" She frowned when she saw the man's astonished face. "Did you ever miss me, Josh?" She was almost in tears.
There stood a tall, lean, but still muscular man in a white under shirt and blue faded jeans. His green eyes sparkled and danced along with the sun right above their heads. "Aw... my poor, poor baby! Of course i missed you! Especially this crying of yours." She started sobbing hysterically. She loved Josh like a best friend, she loved him like an older brother she never had. She loved him so much! He was always there for her. He was the only person on the face on this planet who actually ever understood her, except for this other guy, she faintly remember anything about. But she still remembered he was one hell of an eye candy and he was sweet. She didn't remember his name or how he looked? She just had faint ideas about him and maybe deep down in her attic a couple of pictures she hadn't seen in years.
"Hey... hey... Gauri! Now, if you don't stop crying right now i promise i won't talk to you!" She smiled at him knowing he was just kidding. He wrapped his arms around her and then kissed her forehead. Right at the moment, Shiv came to the doorstep and saw them hugging and a man kissing her forehead with so much of... he couldn't think of a word to describe the scene. Actually he was just confused, because there were so many emotions flooding the man's face. Shiv's blood was boiling. He couldn't stand just anyone to come in the way and kiss her! How dare that person? Damn him, he thought.
She looked up at Josh and was just about to open her big fat mouth to give him a lecture when she noticed he wasn't looking at her but behind her. She got aggravated and turned around to see who he was staring at and saw Shiv and turned her face away from Shiv and hugged Josh even tighter.
He cleared his throat loudly. She put on an annoyed face and didn't even bother to acknowledge his presence. Josh loosened his grip, but Gauri clung closer. Was that annoyance she heard in that "Ahem! Ahem!" of his. Why should she even bother? All he is, is my bodyguard… not my boyfriend?
The girl definitely doesn't have any idea about my anger, does she? God! Why does she love testing my temper? He tried again this time but more louder and more dangerously, "AHEM! AHEM!" He moved closer forcing them both to separate. "Hi! I'm Shiv," referring to Josh.
Before Josh could answer Gauri said, "Hi, Shiv! And I'm Jhansi ki Rani." She smiled sweetly but still fakely. "Is there anything you need? Oh yeah, Josh… Where's my room?"
Josh was utterly confused by Gauri's rudeness. She usually is pretty sweet to everybody. "Umm. Hey I'm Jo-" Before he could continue, Gauri cut him of, "Josh, cut it out! No one asked for your introduction, just tell him where the damn room is!"
"Jeez, woman! Relax! What's wrong with you? Umm… Shiv her room's on the second floor and first room to the right, and you could have the room across. Josh threw Shiv a sympathetic look saying I'm-sorry-man… you-know-how-she-is…"
It was around midnight and Shiv and Gauri had settled in but none of them were really sleeping. There was a soft knock on Shiv's the door, which he answered. Shiv knew exactly who it was, the one and only Josh Kapoor.
They both shared a brotherly hug. "Hey, man! Shiv… let's get to the point now. What the hell's happening between you guys and why didn't you let me recognize you? Does she remember anything about you? And what's up with her? Why's she behaving like that? And why are you keeping so many secrets from her and why-"
Shiv interrupted him, "Hold up, dude! Can you slow down there a little bit. Ok…um… Gauri doesn't remember me… I know it's sad I mean I remember everything about her, like what makes her mad, happy, frustrated, cry, sad, laugh and excited. But she doesn't remember anything about me. Nothing, she doesn't even find my name familiar. I missed her for all those twelve years, and desperately waited for one call or one email but everything went in vain. She doesn't remember anything about me. We use to be so close. We were best friends. There was, no there is something different about her. Well anyways, the reason I'm disguising myself from a multi-billionaire to a low class body guard is… I know it's shocking but before that you've got to promise me you will not tell Gauri anything and you've go to tell me everything. And just so you know, you're my best friend too and I always helped you with everything from homework copying to getting girls."
Josh looked at his face. He saw a shadow of sadness, love, care and a look of complete determination. He wondered what this was all about. "ok! I promise I'll help you only if you promise me you will never hurt her no matter what because if you do I'll skin you so bad, you'll forget what your name is. I promise I'll make your life a living hell and wherever you will go you will get nothing but pain even if you let Gauri shed one tear. I promise… and yeah can you get to the point now, please? I'm kinda getting impatient."
Wow! Shiv was surprised by this. "Okay… relax dude. I will never let her cry even once. Ok my parents AND her parents want us to get married, but Miss I-don't-want-a-commitment straight out refuses without even looking at the picture or meeting that person, also known as the great Shiv Khanna.
********
It was about eleven in the morning and she wasn't awake yet. Josh had gone to work as it was a Monday. He was bored out of his head so he decided to go wake Gauri up.
He softly knocked on her door and walked inside when he got no response. He looked at the bed where instead of Gauri, lay a tangled blanket and he saw a pair of feet on the edges of the bed. He went around and saw Gauri sleeping peacefully on the ground with her feet elevated on the bed and her whole body tangled into the blanket. He smiled; she looked so peaceful in the morning light, with the cool wind blowing inside the room, ruffling her hair. She looked so calm. His eyes fell upon the strand of hair kissing the side of her cheeks, nose and her luscious lips. She looked… he thought no word could do enough justice to what she looked like. He knelt down beside her and used his warm and inviting hands to move the hair.
Gauri felt like a feather was being brushed by her face. She opened her eyes to meet his almond brown eyes. His foot slipped because of the silky material She thought he felt so good and so right for him to be with her at the moment. She just felt like lifting her head and tumbling into his hands and kissing his lips. She snapped out. Oh my god! I wasn't just thinking of kissing him. But she had to admit the first time he had kissed her it did feel so right. There was firmness with more of gentleness which she couldn't deny that she like it. His face was no more than an inch away from her face, she like being so close to him. To be more specific she loved it. But why?, she questioned herself. Why did she like being close to him? Was it because she'd never have someone so close to her before? She didn't like people being close to her then why couldn't she just push him away.
Shiv broke through her thoughts by hastily getting off of her. "Gauri… ur so funny. You sleep like there'll be no other night." She frowned. "ok! Ok! Get ready quickly while I'll make your breakfast. What do you want?"
She flashed him a sweet and satisfied smile and replied, "I'll have apple juice, toast with excessive margarine, a two egg omelete, and yeah don't forget the chocolate fudge." Shiv's eyes widened in horror. He laughed and said, "Oh my god! You eat so much" and muttered under his breath, "no wonder you're an elephant." Gauri realized what he said after thirty seconds passed and looked up murderously and she was about to open her mouth to scream at him but he was gone by then. Unaware of Shiv standing outside her door, she screamed, "AARRRGGHHHH………….. I'm going to kill this man one day…" and then said quietly, "but he's definitely cute." She smiled. Shiv too smiled, as she was starting to develop feelings for her.
About a half hour later, Gauri came into the kitchen. She was wearing faded jeans and tank top. She looked so cute with her wet hair left out to dry. She looked at him and said, "Where's my breakfast?" she asked worried. He smiled at her childish behavior. He put his hands on her should which sent sparks down her spine and turned her around towards the dining table where lay her huge breakfast. She smiled her overjoyed smiles and ran. She ate so quickly and Shiv was surprised by seeing that she ate every little fragment off her plate.
Even though she loved his cooking and just to avenge what he said in that morning, " You know you can learn how to control the salt you put in stuff." He looked annoyed but then again smiled saying, "if you really didn't like the food then why have you eaten everything."
"Darling, that's because when someone's hungry they can eat anything even a pile of shit."
"oh no you didn't. I made the food with so much love and you're calling it a pile of shit. How dare you? You know what I'm going on a strike now; I'm never going to make you anything to eat." God! For once in her life, why can't she say something nice to me. Uggh… but I promise one day, I promise I will make her.
"Thank God! Anyways, I'm too young to die anyway." She smirked and got up from the dinning table without even bothering to pick up her plate.
Ugh… I hate this chick! But I'll make her love me. But she definitely is a handful to take care of but I don't mind.
Oh god! He looks so cute when he's angry with his eyes burning and his ears smoking and turning red.
It was around two and both of them were starving. "Shiv…" she smiled sweetly. Shiv knew exactly what she wanted. "Yes, honey…"
She glared at him for the last word. HONEY…? who the hell was he calling honey? That khadoos monkey! She then smiled even sweetlier, "what have you made for lunch?"
"darling… do you have short term memory loss or something?" she eyed him angrily. ARRGH… I'm hungry here and he's talking about short term memory loss. What an EEEDIOT! Her mind screamed.
"why?" she asked confused.
"because, I told you I'm never going to cook for you just this morning." Shiv loved the sight in front of his eyes. She looked so cute!
Anger was rising within her but she couldn't do anything but huff angrily at his face. she grabbed the yellow pages and called Domino's and ordered pizza only for herself. Before she was going to hang up, Shiv grabbed the phone from her and ordered himself food too. And then smiled sweetly at her and handed her the phone back.
The food was delivered in a half hour which was passed by Gauri whining about how long domino's is taking and how she will never call there again… While eating the phone rang and both Shiv and Gauri got up and rushed towards the phone. Shiv's hand reached the phone first and then Gauri placed her hand over his hand. They instantly shot their heads up and once again got lost themselves in each others eyes.
Gauri left her hands and went outside. Shiv picked up the phone for Josh telling him of his super plan. Shiv said, "SUPER!" He put the phone down and went outside to find Gauri.
He found Gauri on the dinning table helping her self to another two slices of pizza. "Gauri…" Gauri looked at him angrily. "What?" Why is she always like this? Why is she so afraid to be nice?
Shiv ignored her rude question and said, "Josh called and said he's stuck in work and might have to leave for London. But he said that if he might have to go then it would be tomorrow. He said that he'd meet us at some disco I've never heard of, but I'll get the directions from the internet so don't worry." Yeah right, like she was going to worry. She showed everything but excitement on her face. Why can't she smile to make him happy for once. Argh… where have I got myself stuck?
She looked up and nodded.
It was evening already and both of them were locked in their rooms trying to get ready except their thoughts always wonder up to one another.
Shiv finally got ready and was waiting in the living room when his cell phone started buzzing. He grabbed it and looked at the name calling. Uggh… not her again. What a chipku? She never leaves me alone. He simply cut it. the phone rang again, making him even more mad he picked it up. "WHAT AniTa?"
"Hey…" Anita said totally ignoring his rude comment. "So what's up Shiv? Where have you been? I've been missing you so much, darling."
Arrgh… but anita I havn't been missing you so do me a favor and hang up. "Nothing, anita. Is there anything important you need to tell me?"
Right at that moment his eyes fell upon Gauri fumbling with her earring and walking down the steps. She looked gorgeous in that white strapless dress, it fell right above her knees. She had a simple necklace around her next with a simple diamond in it. she had silver earrings dangling down her ears.
All of a sudden, she felt like she was in a vertigo causing her to trip a stair. "Ah! Ah! Aaah…." She shut her eyes tightly and bit her lower lip, waiting for her to fall onto the floor but instead she felt strong arms grab her waist. They turned and Gauri landed right on top of Shiv who was on the cold floor. He looked at her pale face that was scared to death as she slowly opened her eyes to, once again get lost in his gorgeously almond brown eyes.
She felt hypnotized… the mixture of his after shave was still pretty strong, his warm breathe which awfully but sweetly so sugary sweet, the passion firing in his eyes. Oh how she resisted her self from reaching down to his lips and loosing herself to him. She'd seen the same look in Prithvi's eyes once… No! She wasn't supposed to think of Prithvi like that. He was her to-be brother-in-law… but she loved him and once upon a time, he did too. But now he doesn't! She reminded herself and now she was to control her mind and not think of him like that; she couldn't do that to Sheetal. She would've burst into tears, if Shiv's cell phone wouldn't have been barking!
He noticed the sudden change in the direction flow of emotions on her face. She looked so vulnerable, innocent, and in a way oblivious to the traps he'd set and of what he was trying to do. For the first time in his life he felt guilty for being so sly and for hiding the truth from her. He finally heard Anita barking on the other line. "Hello, Anita.."
"Shiv… who's there with you?"
"Oh… umm… no one's her darling. I promise."
"Shiv are you saying the truth?"
"Obviously baby!" he chose these words on purpose to make Gauri mad. After all, she deserved! She was being so mean to him. After seeing that his plan was working he thought to go further in it.
OBVIOUSLY BABY! And NO ONE'S HERE! ACHA… so I'm a no one and Anita is baby. AARGGH…. WHO IS THIS FLIPPING ANITA???? UGGH… I'M GOING TO KILL HER!!!! Actually why should I kill her? Shouldn't I be killing him?!?!?
He read jealousy and anger on her face making him mentally smirk. "Oh, Anita Darling! How are are you? I missed you so much. I love you so much because you're so nice and pretty.
Anita on the other side was so excited but still stunned. "Thanks, Shiv. You're really sweet as well. So what are you doing?"
"Oh me. I'm going to some disc. It's going to be so boring… all the girls here are so ugly unlike you… you're just so beautiful and stunning and gorgeous" YUCK! If she's beautiful then a pile of shit is a picture of Mona Lisa.
Arrghh…. Did he just call me UGLY or was I hallucinating??? Oh my god! And he said she was pretty!!! I am so going to KILL him! I'm so not going to leave him alone. I'll make sure he admits that I, Gauri Alok Sharma, is the prettiest person alive. How dare he? He did not even compliment me when he saw me and now he's telling someone on the phone pretty!!!! I am going to seriously murder him so ruthlessly!!! I have the perfect way. I will butcher him into tiny million pieces and I'm going to feed him to my dogs! Shit! I don't have dogs… so what I'll feed him to my WATCHMAN'S bull dogs! Yes, that will be a sight to see! And yeah, Boring! Who the hell was he calling boring? Hasn't he seen himself he's the boringest person alive. And seriously Who doesn't have a nice breakfast? Everyone does! He's the weirdo, not me! EEEDDIIIIOOOOOOT! STEWPID MONKEY! DONKEY! POTATO! TOMATO! KARELA! YUCK! I hate karela no wonder I think of him as one cause he's everything but sweet!!! AAARRRGGHHHHH… THIS MAN IS SERIOUSLY NOT GOING TO LEAVE ME UNTIL I GO TO JAIL. Jail? Jails scare the crap out of me… they are so dark and spooky! Oh my god! You know what I should send him there. EEDIOT! STEWPID MONKEY BREATHE SMELLING, CROCODILE SKIN FEELING, PIG SNORTING EEEEEDDIOOOOOOTTT!!! ARRGGH… I'M GOING TO SO KILL HIM. NO! I'M SO GOING TO GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A SUPARI! WHY SHOULD I DIRTY MYSELF FOR THAT ALIGATOR… PPPIIGG!!
"AHEM! AHEM, LET'S GO NOW!" Gauri spoke loudly so that, that ANITA could hear her.
"Shiv! Who is that?"
"uuhh… woh… Naukrani thi." He said with a smirk looking at the death glare he was receiving from Gauri! Yes! Mission accomplished. I finally got her mad. She deserves. Whenever you see she's always being rude to me so now there. She so deserves this.
"OHHH MMMYYYYYYYY GGGOOOOOOSH! YOU DID NOT JUST CALL ME A MAID!!!! WHAT THE FUDGE!"
"are you sure that's the naukrani, darling?" inquired Anita.
"uh.. bye honey! I'll talk to you later!"
