Aap Jaisa Koi…..
Episode 83
Tarun goes to his room, very mad. He again imagines Bani n Ranveer hugging each other n becomes more furious and picks up an ashtray n throws it on the mirror. He feels like screaming loud or hitting someone.
Hearing the noise of something breaking, Ranveer, Bani, Sahil and Rano come running into his room n are shocked to see Tarun so angry n the pieces of glass spread on the floor.
Ranveer finally breaks the silence n asks, "kya baat hai Tarun………..tum itna naraaz kyu lag rahe ho?"
Tarun doesn't look at Ranveer n instead turn away n says, "koi baat nahi Ranveer…..voh bas aise hi kisise baat kar raha tha aur…..aisi kuch news thi ke mujhe gussa aa gaya." N then he turns n looks at Ranveer n says, "aur tum toh jaante ho ke mujhe nukhsaan aur…." He pauses as his eyes follow Bani who bents down to pick up the pieces of glass from the floor with Rano, n says, "aur nakaami bardaasht nahi hoti."
Bani looks up n she sees anger in Tarun's eyes. She gets scared n gets up from there n leaves the room.
Ranveer watches Bani leave n gathers a little tension in her eyes. He then turns to Tarun n says, "aare yaar, yeh sab baatein toh hoti rehti hai bizness mein…….tum itna kyu tension le rahe ho…..chalo chodo usse aur chalo mere saath…….mujhe kuch kaam hai tumse."
Tarun looks at him n asks in a very irritative tone, "kahan ???"
Ranveer says, "pehle chalo toh……..phir bataonga."
Bani goes into her room n stands by the window n thinks, "kya ho raha hai yeh sab…..Tarunji aisa kyu behave karte hai mere saath…..aakhir main unko jaanti hi kitna hoon. Kabhi kabhi unki harkatein mujhe pareshaan karti hai…..jabse voh meri life mein aaye hai….kuch achchi feeling nahi ho rahi…….mujhe hamesha aise lagta hai jaise voh mujhe Ranveer ke saath dekh kar khush nahi hote…….unka chehra hi bata deta hai….chahe voh kahe ya na kahein." She turns n looks at her wedding pic on the side table. She goes near n picks it up n looks at Ranveer n thinks, "main Ranveer ko batao bhi toh kaise…….Tarunji, Ranveer ke bahut achche dost hai……main kuch bhi keh kar unki dosti mein daraar nahi daalna chahungi…….ab main karoo bhi toh kya karoo." She cudnt think of anything except how Tarun was behaving with her. Then she suddenly remembers that Ranveer was saying something to her. She goes out to look for him but Rano informs her that he left with Tarun just few minutes ago. Bani gets worried on hearing Tarun's name but she remembers what Ranveer said n goes to her room.
Tarun n Ranveer are in the car n Tarun is quiet all the time, thinking abt Bani. He thinks abt the way she laughs, n the way she talks. He reminds himself of how she brightens his heart when she enters a room.
He then looks away n thinks as though why she is making him miserable………why is he so lost in her love that he cudnt imagine his world without her……even though he knows that she belongs to someone else.
He was in his own thoughts when Ranveer hits the breaks n the car stops in front of the shopping complex.
Tarun looks at Ranveer n asks, "Ranveer, tum mujhe yaha kyu laaye ho ??"
Ranveer says, "Tarun, main Bani ke liye kuch gift lena chahta tha……per mujhe samajh nahi aa raha ke main kya loo."
Tarun gets tensed by hearing Bani name n what just Ranveer said. He turns to Ranveer n asks, "tum yaha mujhe gift pasand karne laaye ho ??"
Ranveer smiles n says, "main chahta hoon ke tum mujhe gift select karne mein madad karo…….pasand main khud kar loonga……mujhe madad isliye chahiye thi kyunki na toh yeh koi anniversary ka mouqa hai na koi birthday ka…..bas mera aise hi mann kar raha tha."
Tarun looks at him keenly n asks, "Ranveer, tum mujhe sach mein yaha yeh reason ke liye laaye ho…ya koi aur baat hai ??"
Ranveer turns away n looks straight ahead n says, "sach pooch toh nahi…….main yaha tumhe koi gift select karne nahi laaya…..mujhe aisa laga ke tum kuch pareshaan ho….aur yeh mat kehna ke bizness ki tension hai…..kyunki main jaanta hoon ke tum jab jhoot keh rahe the sab ke saamne……koi aur baat zaroor….aur main tumse baar baar nahi poochunga ke kya baat tumhe sataa rahi hai…..kyunki agar tum chahte toh khud mujhe bataa sakte the…….bas main tumhe aise hi le aaya taake tumhara mood change ho jaaye."
By hearing this Tarun feels very touched that Ranveer is really his best friend. He cares abt his feelings so much n in return he himself had felt of deceiving his best friend by trying to snatch away his wife from him. Tarun gets confused with his own feelings n complains abt the headache to Ranveer n Ranveer drives him back home.
Here at the beach house, Rano sees Pushkar standing near the shore watching the waves go by. She comes n stands by him. He looks at her n she notices that his eyes were a lil teary. She gets a bad feeling that something might have gone wrong n the reason cud be 'Pia'. N there she was right as Pushkar starts his sentence with 'Pia'.
Pushkar says, "Pia…….hmmmm……..tum jaanti ho Rano….aaj Pia ne kuch aisa kaha jise sunkar mujhe apne kaano per vishwaas nahi ho raha."
He looks down n Rano understands that Pia might have done something drastic this time. she looks at Pushkar n asks, "kya baat hai Pushkar……Pia ne aisa kya keh diya tumse??"
Pushkar says, "Pia ne mujhse kaha ke Anu ne usse shart lagayi thi ke voh mera dil jeet legi……aur main samajh raha tha ke voh mujhe sach mein pasand karti hai….aur main pagalo ki tarah usse propose bhi kar chukka tha…..kya sonch raha tha main Anu ke bare mein aur voh kya nikli…….koi itna kaise gir sakta hai ke dusre ko mazaak banade."
Rano tries to console him n says, "Pushkar…..zaroor koi aur baat hogi….kyunki jitna main Anu ko jaanti hoon…..voh aisi ladki nahi hai…..Pia ka zaroor koi aur matlab tha hoga….kyunki Anu aisa nahi kar sakti…..tum tehro….main jaa kar pata……."
Pushkar cuts her in the middle n says, "tum bura mat maan na Rano……per iss waqt main Anu ke bare mein koi safaai nahi sunna chah raha hoon……bas mujhe thodi deir akela chod do please."
Rano looks at him helplessly n then slowly walks away.
Bani was in the living room, keeping things in their places when Ranveer n Tarun walks in. Tarun was looking at her but when she looked up, he looked away n went into his room. Bani was a lil surprised by his behavior.
Ranveer came to her n Bani asks him, "aap achanak kaha chale gaye the…..mujhe bataya bhi nahi."
Ranveer turns n walks towards the balcony, thinking abt Tarun, n says, "bas aise hi kuch kaam yaad aa gaya tha."
Bani comes n stands beside him putting her hand around his right arm n staring straight ahead. Ranveer looks at her n says, "tum mujhe yaad kar rahi thi ??"
Bani makes a face n says, "hmmm…..nahi toh."
Ranveer turns n puts his arms around her waist n says, "achcha ??? toh phir mera dil aise hi dhadak raha tha ???"
Bani squints her eye a lil n asks, "kya matlab ??"
Ranveer smiles n pulls her closer n says, "matlab yeh ke…..aajkal…..mera dil tumhare ehsaas ko pehchaanta hai….jab bhi tum mujhe miss karti ho toh mere dil ko khud hi pata chal jaata hai."
Bani looks lovingly at him n Ranveer bends closer so that his lips were few inches away from her mouth n he continues saying, while placing a peck on her lips, "aur jab tak tum mujhe aise hi chahti rahogi….mera dil aise hi dhadakta rahega."
N then he kisses her forehead, her nose, the side of her jawline, her neck….n then he holds her chin with his finger n looks into her eyes n like a whisper he says, "aur main jaanta hoon ke tum mujhe itna pyar karti ho ke mere dil ko hamehsa itmenaan rehta hai ke tum mere paas ho."
N then he hugs her tight hiding his face in her neck….Bani also responds by putting her arms around him n holding the back of his hair in her fingers n kissing his ear. Ranveer tightens his grip around her n Bani just relaxes in his arms putting all the stress, tension, n the rest of the world behind n with just Ranveer on her mind, she smiles to herself waiting for what Ranveer had in mind for tonight as he asked her to be ready to go out with him tonight.
