Heya all you lovely people!! I just got back from watching a good movie and now I'm in the mood to write! Heheh… Thank you soooooo much for liking my chapter 4. I'm glad you enjoyed it. See I left my chapter on such a cliff-hanger (as always) so without further due I shall begin… NEW PROPOSAL Set-back:Kasturi is in the canteen and she has spoken those three magical words to someone who hates her… will these words do wonders? Adi looked down and smirked. He then raised his index finger in question and asked "I'm sorry! I didn't quite catch that, could you repeat that please?", his deep voice full of ridicule. Kasturi shut her eyes tightly. She could feel her face colouring up again… she gulped… "I love you… Sir" she repeated in a tiny voice. She was grasping the rose so tightly that a small thorn she had not noticed before pricked her finger. She flinched in pain and dropped the flower holding her finger that had started to bleed.
Watching all this Adi sniggered and slowly stood up from where he was sitting. He towered over her… their eyes locked… he started to advance towards her… with each step he took forward, she took a step back… until she hit the wall…
"Sir…?" she began, her voice barely a whisper. She looked straight into those brown eyes… their expression was hard to read… He raised his hand… 'Oh No! He's going to slap me' panicked Kasturi. She wrenched her eyes from his gaze, shut them tightly and turned her face away from him, breathing hard… waiting… but the slap never came… she looked back…
His hand lay resting on the wall, as if he was half cornering her… his thumb grazed her soft hair as he slid his hand up the wall… He lowered his head towards hers… their mouths only a few inches away…
Her lips parted but no words came out of them as fear had caught hold of her voice. She pressed her head far back as possible. Adi held her gaze… though she felt as if a hundred eyes were upon her.
Indeed they were. The whole canteen had stopped to watch what was unfolding. Shivani, Kritika and their gang stood rooted to their spots no longer amused by what was happening. Shivani had gone mad with jealousy. She did not like their close proximity one bit- infact she HATED it!! She didn't know whom she was madder with; Adi or Kasturi? She felt like throttling BOTH!! But right now though, all she knew was that she practically LOATHED Kasturi down to the very tip of her toe nail.
Shivani noticed that Kritika was shaking with anger too. Her fists were clenched; her beautiful face was contorted with anger. It seemed as if Kritika was swearing and cursing the two under her breath… the whole canteen had gone quite, listening intently as to what Adi might say next.
"So…" he drawled "you say you love me?!" asked Adi from Kasturi. Kasturi neither moved nor spoke; she stood there stricken. "And that to with respect?" he continued sneering. 'SIR' ai?" he added with a scornful laugh. Kasturi felt burning shame surge right through her, looking down she tried to hide her tears. "Awww my poor baby has become shy" cooed Adi softly. He noticed the finger on her bandaged hand she had pricked earlier had swollen and become red. For some strange reason, (he even didn't know why) he wanted to sooth it by pressing his lips on it…
But he stopped himself just in time. 'What the hell am I thinking?!!' he thought to himself. 'I flipping HATE this girl standing here. She means nothing to me! She's not worth even the dust on my shoes! It's coz of her I couldn't read that text message Shivani sent to me in the morning! I never gave a damn about the flipping phone…'
Adi shook himself out if his thoughts and stepped back from her. Her turned around with a sneer plastered on his face. "She says she 'loves' me!" he said to the crowd. The crowd remained silent and slightly confused. Mukti was fuming! 'That stupid *****!!!! I can't STAND HIM!!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhh. How dare he do this to Kasturi? I wish I could KILL him!! Duffer!' she kept repeating to herself.
Adi looked around and raised his arms in question "I mean come on guys! This girl here said she loves me!" he said pointing at Kasturi. Silent tears poured down her face. She knew something like this was going to happen. 'Meri izzat… pani mian phekh gayi hain' cried Kasturi.
Scattered laughter rang across the crowd. "Typical of her… low class girl trying to trap a rich handsome guy" some would say loudly. "Shame! She just has no shame!" others would say. Shivani and Kritika seemed to be calming down but that didn't erase the fact that they still HATED Kasturi. 'At least Adi is acting normal now! Gosh he almost scared me' thought Shivani to herself taking deep breaths.
Adi turned to look at Kasturi. He didn't know what he was feeling watching her cry like that. She stood there with her head bent, tears flowing down her face. All he knew was he didn't like what he was watching… what *he* was causing. "You should've come to me earlier, you know somewhere we could spend some time *alone*… together" he stressed. Kasturi looked up at him shocked. She had NEVER been spoken to like that ever before in her life. Shivani who was in the process of 'calming down' looked up in rage. She felt like a raging bull! All she wanted to do was run up to Adi and hit him hard with all her might; she was just about to do that when she heard Adi growl, "What don't like the idea?"
"I mean why would you? It's a question of your 'izzat' hain na?" he asked, voice full of disdain. "But… you didn't seem to worry about your so-called 'izzat' when you came up to me right now, and say that you 'love' me?'' he continued in that same tone. "You know what, TUM CHOTE LOG AISE HOTE HAIN!! MERE SAATH PYAAR KA NAATAK KAR KE MUJHE PHASS JAANA CHAATIHOON?!!" he yelled at her. Kasturi flinched at those raised tones. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "IS THIS YOUR 'NAYA CHAAL' SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY BACK THE MONEY?!!'' he yelled. He was now accusing her of something she had never intended to do… "Teek hain, you know what, I don't want the money! I don't want you to pay back ANYTHING!! You can keep your filthy money to yourself!!" he snarled, showing his palms. "But let me tell you ONE FINAL THING… (Pointing his index finger at her) You're mother may have taught you to do all this… but seriously *behenji* you're SO not my type and even if you were the last girl on this planet, I would never even *sleep* with you…" he sneered.
Those words thundered across the canteen. There was drop-dead silence. No one spoke and nothing moved. Mukti stood there in shock and disgust. Shivani and Kritika seemed content with what Adi had said. They were therefore breathing easily and smiling faintly. Relief was flooding through Shivani 'Thank God!' she told herself.
Adi turned his back on Kasturi…
The words he had spoken repeated in Kasturi s' head again and again like a broken record… Suddenly, she found herself walking slowly towards Adi… something was coursing down her body… it was anger mixed with deep resentment… She wiped her tears…
She stopped right behind him and touched him softly on the shoulder… his face turned… when he realised who it was he turned around fully to level with her. They both looked at each other intently… Adi waiting for her reaction…
*SLAP* Kasturi had slapped him really hard. Mukti who was watching all this in a trance seemed to have been shaken out of it after hearing the loud slap. "YES!!! Wahooo" she yelled punching her fist in the air. People in the vicinity turned around to look at her with disgust! Even Shivani and Kritika shot her deep looks of abhorrence. "What?!" She shot back at them "Do really expect me to cry my eyes out for Adi after what he did to Kasturi?" She asked them sardonically. Shivani and Kritika continued to look at Mukti threateningly. Mutki just ignored them, "Yes!! Go Kasturi!!" she encouraged smiling brightly.
Kasturi had unknowingly slapped him on the same side Janki ji had slapped him the previous morning and therefore his lip started bleeding again. Adi wiped his lip with the back of his hand. For some reason he couldn't explain, he was expecting that and hence showed no surprise. But his face twisted in rage "What the… who the… how dare ya…" he stammered but stopped as Kasturi had raised her finger threateningly.
"Bas!" she shrieked her usual soft voice contorted with anger. "You've said what you've had to say! Now it's my turn… abh kaan kul kar sun lo" She screeched.
"Let me clear up one huuuuge misunderstanding Mr Vikram Aditya Mehra!" She yelled at him "I NEVER came to you out of my OWN accord!!! Do you really think I would fall in love with some useless bikhari like you?!!! Someone who depends solely on his father and misuses his so-called *power*. NEVER MR VIKRAM ADITYA MEHRA!! NEVER!!!" She screeched. She felt her voice cracking as she had never screamed like this before in her entire life, but she continued all the same. His face had turned a shade of purple; it was evident that anger was upon him. He wasn't expecting things to turn this nasty. 'BOY I HATE HER!!!' he thought to himself. He clenched his fist and let them fall to his sides. "Kya?!! A few moments ago you seemed on top of things? What HAPPENED NOW?!!" She screamed. "I would NEVER fall for you even if all race of men had died out and you were the last man standing!!! I hate you ADITYA!! You mean NOTHING to me. I used 'Sir' out of fear, but you don't even deserve that" She continued. Mukti who was listening to this was now hooting with laughter and doing a silly dance!
"Aur EK baat ADI! My family brought me up with achchi sanskaar jo tumhare paas nahi hain!! DON'T YOU EVER TAKE THE NAME OF MY FAMILY TO YOUR GANDE ZUBAAN EVER AGAIN! SAMJE?!!" she added in a dangerous voice with her finger raised. She made to walk off. Adi watched her back with detest, when she stopped. She turned around, "And by the way, I'll pay back the money for your phone!! Zaroor karungi main. I don't want you to think you're doing a favour for me- at ALL!!!!" she spat "Chalo Mukti" she said to Mukti who was still doing that silly dance. Mukti stopped dancing reluctantly and shot a smile of 'HAH! SHAME' to Shivani and Kritika. With that they both walked out of the canteen leaving a fuming Adi, Shivani and Kritiaka (and a stunned audience) to ponder to themselves.
Set-back: Someone has entered Janki ji's office. That someone shocked her to the core! Who is it? What made the usually strong-headed lady feel weak at the knees "Aap?!" She asked her voice barely a whisper. A tall handsome guy entered the room and stood there rooted to the spot. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Parvati ji?" He whispered himself. Janki ji composed herself from the shock and said "Nahi Mr Mehra! Not Parvati ji… it's Janki ji! I prefer you address me by this name." Her voice little firmer than before.
"Lekin aap yahaa kaise? I mean, I thought you had left me a loooog time ago- 20 years ago! And ek aur baat! You'll always remain my Paro to me" he exclaimed. She said nothing for a minute… a time, which he took to study her. She had changed a lot. Her once long straight hair had been cut short; it now rested just below her shoulders. Her pink designer saaree complemented her soft skin colour and her soft features. She still looked beautiful even after all these years. How he wished to touch her soft face… he moved forward…
Sensing something that was about to happen, which was not meant to happen, "Ruko Mr Mehra!" she told him, holding up her hand. Mr Mehra had always respected his Paros' wishes, nothing had changed- so today also, he heeded them. Janki ji stared at him. He was still very good looking for his age. He stood there in his black designer suit. The only thing that had changed about him was that he was wearing glasses. He never really had good taste in fashion, back then it was she that helped him sort out his clothes. Flashbacks of them together ran through her mind… that was then… now however, he must have 'someone else' to help him… She sighed. It was time to compose herself and get back to business.
"Kahiye Mr Mehra! What brings you here to my College? Surely it must be about your son and his behaviour yesterday!" She asked Mr Mehra. Mr Mehra had been thinking about their past suddenly realised he had indeed come there for a different purpose. The anger he had wished to portray infront of the 'new trustee' had vanished as soon as he had stepped into the room. A sinking feeling began to take place in the pit of his stomach. He now realised that there was another side to the story in which Adi had told him. "Nahi Parvati ji…" he began, when Janki ji interrupted him, "Mr Mehra, how many times must I tell you! It's Janki ji! I have left my past behind me… I think you should do too!" she said. Mr Mehra ignored that and plunged on "Parvati ji, I'm so sorry about my sons' behaviour yesterday. It was not right for him to do that. I shall have a word with him and sort him out. Please don't expel him from this college. If there is one person I can look to, to improve my son… then it is you! I beg of you!" He pleaded… "For old times sake… you know you owe that much to me at least!" he added softly and without letting Janki ji to reply or say anything further he walked out of the office shutting the door quietly behind him.
Janki ji almost fainted after he had left. She grabbed hold of the chair at her desk for support. She realised her hand was shaking… badly! All she wanted to do was cry. She never expected past to catch up with her so soon. The thought of leaving Mumbai and starting afresh somewhere else- far away from here- came across her mind. But shortly afterwards, the thought was stamped down. 'NO! NO! NO! You're not running away from anything anymore!! You're staying here and will face ANYTHING that comes your way!' She thought to herself determined not shed another tear in the name of her past. She stood up straight, and made her way to the bathroom in her office. Inside; at the sink she splashed her face that had become so pale with water. Touched up with her makeup and came out again. In her office she sat down at the table and continued with her work, as if nothing had happened…
Set-back: It's now nightfall. Kasturi has moved into Mukti s' room in her chawl. She's more than grateful to Mukti for giving her a place to stay. What will happen now? "Mukti, are you sure I can stay here for a while till I find another place to stay? After all, I don't want to be a burden on you" asked Kasturi. Mukti who was reading the newspaper didn't look up; instead she continued to do her work. "Mukti!!! Are you listening to me?!" asked Kasturi slightly annoyed. Mukti still continued to ignore her. Kasturi got up from where she was sitting on the couch and went up to Mukti who was sitting at the table. It was a few feet away. The room had been cleverly divided into small sections. On one side lay a double bed with a bedside cabinet and a mirror. This was parted from the rest of the small room with a wooden wall-type divider for privacy. On another side was a tiny kitchen, with the basic necessities. A small door on the wall led to the tiny bathroom. It was no glamour hall, but it was sufficient enough for the two of them.
"Aarey!! Why are you ignoring me?!" She asked Mukti. "Kyunki isiliye, you're asking me stupid questions!! Aur mere paas waqt nahi nahi to answer stupid questions!" she finally replied looking up from the paper. Kasturi smiled at that. "Lekin Mukti…" she began. "Oh just SHUT UP!" Mukti exclaimed. "It' good that you're here. I'm glad to have your company!! And please don't bother looking for another place to stay. You're more than welcome to stay here for as long as you want… and that means FOREVER!!" she said confidently and smiled. Kasturi s' doubts vanished. She smiled back. "What are you reading?" she asked Mukti.
"Oh *behenji* I'm reading the jobs section! Trying to look for a suitable job for you!" She added and they both laughed. Thinking about jobs, Kasturis' face fell. 'How am I going to pay back so much money?' She asked herself. Noticing Kasturi had gone quiet with worry, Mukti decided to cheer her up a bit. "I'm so proud of you Kasturi!! I really am. Well done for sticking up to that good-for-nothing idiot today!!" said Mutki. Kasturi smiled back, breaking away from her thoughts. "I'm glad I did that myself. I loved that silly dance you did!! You have to teach me how to do it!" said Kasturi cheekily and they both laughed again. "Pata nahi though Mukti! Where will I be able to find such a large some on money?" She asked worriedly. "Don't worry Kasturi!! Main hoon na! We'll sort this out together. Tell you what, even I'll find a job! Then we can both pay back together?" offered Mukti. Kasturi gasped! "Aarey nahi nahi Mukti!! I can't ask you to do that. It's just too much. Plus you've already done so much for me!!" protested Kasturi. "Phir se shuru ho gayi tumhari bakwaas!!" exclaimed Mukti throwing up her hands. "For the last time just keep quite about stuff like that. If you ever utter something like that again- I'll throttle you myself. It's perfectly all right. Anything for a friend! Teek hain?! Now just let me continue finding some decent jobs!" said Mukti and looked down at her paper again.
"What have you found?" asked Kasturi a few minutes later on a serious note. "Hmmm… well there are quite a few. But this one seems promising." Replied Mukti circling a job description and pushing the paper over to Kasturi to read. Kasturi looked at the job description:
"
Secretary needed, based in Mumbai. Experience desirable, however required training will be given if the job is offered. Competitive salary. Preferred start date: ASAP. Needs to be available on call."
"Hmmm… it does sound very promising indeed!" said Kasturi. I'll go and check it out tomorrow. "Hopefully something will come out of it. It'll be a miracle if I get it on the first go." She added.
"Be optimistic!" said Mukti in reply. "Here give back the paper, I'll comb through it for more jobs!" she said holding out her hand. As Kasturi handed it back, Mukti noticed her bandages had not been changed. "Aarey Kasturi!! What is this?! You haven't changed your bandages!!" she pointed. Kasturi looked down at her hand and said "Nahi, I have to. It's still painful. I haven't taken off the bangles yet either!" she said in a small voice. "How I wish I could scratch him myself!!" growled Mukti. She shook her head. "Listen, the first aid box is in the bathroom. Go and change your bandages" she told Kasturi.
Set-back: Kasturi is in the bathroom ready to change her bandages… all she needs to do now is to take of her bangles. She winced in pain, as she took off each bangle, one-by-one. The cut she noticed was quite deep. With each bangle she removed, the cut went deeper. Blood was pouring out of her hand after she had removed the last one. As she put on new bandages, she recalled the past few events of the day…she remembered her family and how much she missed them… when she realised she was crying. She wanted to speak to her Bauji so badly. Wiping her tears she walked out of the bathroom and went up to Mukti. "Mukti, can I make a call to my Bauji please?" she asked her. Mukti looked up from the paper she was reading and noticed that Kasturi s' eyes were red and moist. She stood up "Kasturi kya hua? Have you been crying? What's the matter?" She asked her face full of concern. Kasturi burst out crying at those few kind words. "OMG Kasturi kya hua?!!! Stop crying! Please stop crying. Everything will be fine! I'm telling you. Please stop." Said Mukti. She put a comforting arm around Kasturi and told her to get hold of herself. "Kasturi if you're crying over that ******* I'll kill you myself!" growled Mukti! Kasturi laughed through her tears at the swear word she had used for him. "That's much better! No more crying. Come on now, compose yourself! You want to call Bauji? Fine! You can call him, but I'll only tell you *how* after you've wiped those tears from your face and smiled!! Coz I'm not letting you talk to Bauji like that!! He'll think something's up and become worried!" said Mukti in final tone.
Kasturi nodded in agreement and did what she was told. She smiled sweetly. "There, that's much better!" said Mukti smiling back. "Ok there's a phone box downstairs, dial the area code and the phone number as well!! Coz that phone is kinda messed up! I keep telling the owner- but he NEVER listens!" She said shaking her head disapprovingly. "Have you got enough money for the phone call?!" she asked. Kasturi nodded and made her way downstairs to the phone box.
Set-back:Kasturi is on the phone with Kishan ji talking about her settling in and how everything is here "Ji Bauji! Everything is fine! I made it here safe. Though I'm really sorry I couldn't call you last night. Was really tired. I arrived to the hostel really late and the lady said there were no places for me to stay at the hostel. I had to find alternative accommodation" she told Kishan ji down the line. "Kya?!!! I mean, are you ok now? Have you found a place to stay?" he asked her all worried. "Aarey bauji, please don't worry. Maine kahana! Everything is fine. I've found a place to stay. My friend Mukti is happy enough to let me stay at her place Bauji! Everything is good." She assured Kishan ji. Kishan ji relaxed, though he did feel as if his daughter was hiding something. "Beta, tum mujhe kuch chupa rahi ho toh nahi na?" asked Kishan ji concerned. Kasturi opened her mouth to tell him everything but decided against it. 'I'll worry him and the whole family if I tell him the whole truth!' she thought to herself. Smiling she said "Nahi bauji! Kuch nahi!! How's everyone there?" she asked. "Everyone is fine here beta, your mother is talking to a family who have come with a new proposal for you!" said Kishan ji happily. He seemed to have forgotten about Kasturis' false response at the mention of a proposal. "Ji Bauji?! Meri shaadi?" asked a surprised Kasturi. "Haan beta. It seems like a very nice family beta. Their son is based in Mumbai. He's a naval officer! Said he wants to see you, so he might come to see you tomorrow!" Said Kishan ji excitedly. Kasturi had been listening intently. She didn't know what she was feeling. "Lekin Bauji what about my education? Will I have to leave college?" She asked Kishan ji crestfallen. "Aarey nahi beta!! Aisa kuch nahi hoga!! He's happy to hear that you're studying. He wants you to continue" reassuring Kasturi. Kasturi smiled. "Teek hain Bauji! I'll see him tomorrow. What is his name? And Where will I be meeting him?" she asked Kishan ji.
Kishan ji smiled, "I'm so proud of you beta!" he said proudly. "His name is Abhishek Chauhan and he said he'll meet you outside your college most probably tomorrow morning. Teek hain beta?" informed Kishan ji. "Ji Bauji. I shall be there to meet him", said Kasturi. She wanted to talk more with her father when she realised there was somebody already waiting for the phone. She had to cut short her conversation with her father then and there…
Kasturi made her way back up to Muktis' room. She had to get ready for tomorrow; she was going to meet her fianc to be. By the looks of things, Kishan ji had already given his consent for the marriage. I hope he has a kind heart. I hope he lets me achieve my dream… She sighed as she entered the room. Mukti who was in the kitchen now asked her "how did it go?"
Kasturi filled her in on the details of the marriage proposal and her potential husband. "Hmmm… very interesting indeed. Let's see how things go now shall we. We'll get to see him tomorrow. I'm sure he must be a nice bloke. A Naval officer ai?! I'm impressed." said Mukti and Kasturi smiled. "Khair, I'm going to get some sleep. I'm knackered. I think you should too!" Said Mukti and Kasturi agreed. It had been a very long day indeed…
Set-Back:The very night in the Mehra mansion. Adi is in his room… He's thinking about the past days events. His father had not gotten back home since the morning. He wondered if Mr Mehra had sorted that 'Head Trustee' out… His mind kept travelling back to what Kasturi had said Adi had blasted the music on his music stereo system. He didn't want any disturbances. He didn't care if he was annoying anyone, with the loud music. He lay on his bed thinking… whenever he tried to forget about the events that happened that afternoon Kasturis' beautiful face kept popping up. He just couldn't understand why. He hated that girl- that much he knew. But underneath all the hate there was some other feeling… a feeling, which he couldn't quite explain nor understand. He kept re-winding those words she had said in his mind and each time he replayed them a fresh bout of anger seethed through him. Punching his pillow in anger got up and sat on his bed. He hunched his back and rested his forehead on his hands. 'I HATE HER!!' he growled to himself. 'So what if she wouldn't choose me, even if I'm the last man standing?! She's nothing but a stupid girl who knows nothing about my life!! She had no right to say that stuff to me!' He thought angrily.
"Thinking about Kasturi?!" another voice said. He looked up confused. It was Bharat who had entered the room. He had also turned down the volume. "Yaar! You're folks are eating my head down there!! Keep this thing down!" he said motioning to the stereo. Adi said nothing and looked back down. "Aarey yaar, why is Kasturi annoying you so much? Just ignore her man. We'll teach her a lesson later. She had no right to talk to you like that!" said Bharat.
Adi shrugged. He was still mad at Kasturi. He hated her… "You're right yaar! We'll teach her a lesson tomorrow! We'll show her, that she shouldn't mess with Vikram Aditya Mehra." He said with an evil smile. 😈 "That's my boy!!" added Bharat punching him on the arm. "Has you're father come home yet? I just met Pallavi aunty downstairs! She seemed frantic." Asked Bharat.
"Pata nahi yaar! I hope Dad sorted that woman out!!" said Adi thoughtfully…
Set-back:The following morning. Kasturi is all ready to meet Abhishek ji. Who is he and what does he look like? Will he be Kasturi s' jeevansaathi? Kasturi stood there in her dressing gown pondering what to wear. Mukti was in the bathroom. She looked at the little clothes she had brought from Haridwaar. She finally chose to wear a cream salwaar kameez with matching slippers. She avoided wearing any bangles. She put on her earrings and a small necklace. She placed her 'OM' bindi in the middle of her eyebrows and brushed her hair thinking about Abhishek ji.
Meanwhile, Mukti had come out of the bathroom, she had just taken a shower. While drying her hair with the towel she noticed that Kasturi was in 'dream-land'.
"Hmmm… dreaming about Mr 'Lova Lova'?!" teased Mukti loudly. Kasturi jumped and burst out laughing! "Tum paagal ho Mukti. I haven't even seen him yet!" exclaimed Kasturi. Mukti laughed! "But you're dreaming about him! Vaise bhi, you're looking very pretty today! Hmmm… putting alooot of effort to please him ai?!" she said playfully. Kasturi just smiled back at her. "Chup!!" she said raising her hand ready to strike her. Mukti pretended to flinch. "Get ready! I'll wait for you. We can both go to see him. Bauji said he'll be at the college in about an hours time" said Kasturi. "Ok! I'll come but you'll see him on your own! I'll watch and 'analyse' your man from afar! Teek hain?!" said Mukti in reply. Kasturi and tilted her head slighty sideways in agreement.
Set-back:Kasturi and Mukti have reached college. Both are looking for Abhishek ji… will they find him? How will she find him? What will happen? "Can you see him?!" asked Mukti stretching her neck looking around. Kasturi shook her head. "Bauji said college gates… pata nahi" said Kasturi. "Maybe he's gone inside" suggested Mukti. "I'll go and look for him inside. You stay here! He may be a little late" said Mukti. Kasturi nodded in reply and she watched Mukti walk off. She turned around to see if anyone looked as if they were looking for someone. When she noticed in the distance a posh looking car was driving up to the college. She watched the car pull up in front of the gates…
In the meantime, Mukti who had found no one inside the building was on her way out when she bumped into Bharat. "Ufff!" she mumbled as she straightened herself. "Can't you watch where you're going!" She said looking up at who she bumped into. "OH!! It's You!!" she added sarcastically.
Bharat shot her a cheeky smile! "Yea it's me! Just the right chick I was looking for!" he exclaimed smiling. Mukti looked at him confused. "Purlease!" she exclaimed holding up her hands. "Save your talks for later. Kasturis' fianc is on his way and I'm to meet him! So may I?!" she asked him and pushed past him, without waiting for his reply.
"Fianc? Aur woh bhi Kasturi ki! Very interesting indeed!" pondered Bharat out aloud. Adi who had been listening to this ahead of Bharat now stood in front of him with an evil smile on his face… 😈
Mukti made her way to the gates. She noticed Kasturi was looking at the very posh car that had pulled up in front of the college gates. 'Ooooh a Black Mercedes! It's definitely got to be him! I'm impressed already.' Thought Mukti to herself smiling. She watched the scene unfold…
Kasturi saw a guy step out of the car. He was wearing a white naval suit. From afar he seemed tall and very well built. He walked up to Kasturi and smiled. "Kasturi Chawla?" he asked in question. Kasturi looked up at him and smiled. She nodded shyly. "Ji". "Oh! Well Captain Abhishek Chauhan reporting here at your service" he said with a salute. Kasturi laughed. Seeing her laugh, he laughed too.
Mukti who was watching this clasped her hands with glee. 'Awww they make such a cute couple-already!' she thought happily. She saw that they both had started speaking again, when she noticed a very good looking bloke dressed in white shirt and blue jeans was walking up to them.
She narrowed her eyes… He so looked like… Oh no (She took back the words 'very good looking' that very instant)!! She panicked. It was Adi. She felt as if he was up to no good. However, before she could do anything he had spoken:
"OI!!" he yelled. Kasturi and Abhishek ji looked around to Adi. Kasturis' eyes narrowed in suspision. Abhishek ji looked at Adi in confusion and asked him "anything I can help you with Mr…?"
"Vikram Aditya Mehra is my name. And no there's nothing you can help me with… BUT WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, CHATTING UP MY GIRL!?!!" he growled motioning to Kasturi…
That's it from me 😛 !!! So sorry about the delay. I've been a bit busy. You'll find out the reason later on. I shall be announcing it soon 😳. Hope you liked that! Hmmm... Abhishek ji?! Well who could he be? 😛 Edited by Niki_18 - 18 years ago
