Naa Tum Jaano Naa Hum
Kyun chalti hai pavan
Kyun jhume hai gagan
Kyun machalta hai mann
Naa tum jaano naa hum
Kyun aati hai bahaar
Kyun lutta hai karaar
Kyun hota hai pyaar
Naa tum jaano naa hum
Yeh madhoshiyaah ye tanhaiyaan
Tasavur mein hai kiski parchaiyaan
Ye bhiga sa maan umangein jawaan
Mujeh ishq le jaa raha hai kahaan
Kyung ghum hai haar disha
Kyun hota hai nashaa
Kyun aata hai mazaa
Naa tum jaano naa hum
Dhadakta bhi hai tadapta bhi hai
Yeh dil kyun achanak behekta bhi hai
Mehekta bhi hai Chehekta bhi hai
Yeh dil kya bafa ko samajhta bhi hai
Kyun milti hai nazaar
Kyun hota hai asaar
Kyun hoti hai saher
Naa tum jaano naa hum
Encino, Ca : Valley Terrace Apartments (Nancy's Apartment Building) 11 am
-the next day-
Prachi was discharged form the hospital early that morning. The doctor had made his rounds and said that she was ready to go home; as soon as Prachi had heard that, she couldn't wait. She had the doctor stop his rounds, find her chart, fill out her discharge orders and get the nurses to stop their rounds so they could explain the med schedule to her. Well, Prachi didn't stop them herself, Milind did; all she had to do was ask him once and then it was done.
Prachi felt an odd sense of peace and contentment. She knew that her divorce with Neev was still pending and that anything could happen with him; but still she felt calm. Prachi felt like everything was actually going to be ok, that she was going to be ok. Ever since she had let Milind back into her life it seemed like she had started fresh, it was like her life was going to be beautiful now, the cloudiness was gone. She felt like she was hearing the birds singing for the first time in years, she finally felt the warmth of the sun, she could finally smell the sweet scent of flowers and she could finally smile…really smile. Prachi knew that this was all due to Milind. Those were her last thoughts as she was wheeled out of her room to be discharged.
Milind had helped Prachi sit in his car and had driven extra carefully. They were followed by Nancy and Somya in Nancy's car. Prachi knew that there was no way she was going home, she had the idea that she would be going to stay with Nancy for a few days and then figure something out; she wasn't going to be a burden on Nancy. When they had reached the apartment building Milind helped Prachi out of the car and slowly walked with her. When they had gotten to the stairs Prachi had only taken one step and flinched in pain. Milind didn't waste anytime as he quickly scooped her up into his arms and carried her the rest of the way.
"Milind, you…you just passed Nancy's apartment, it's 210 remember," Prachi said as they walked right past Nancy's room.
Milind paid no attention to her, "Hey, which one of you has the keys?" he asked.
"I do!" Somya yelled from behind them; she was just rounding the corner and was soon by their side. She fished in her pocket for the keys and quickly opened the door, pushing it in to let Milind and Prachi in.
"Whose house is this?" Prachi asked as she inspected the fully furnished apartment.
"Yours," Milind said as he gently put her down on one of the two couches in the living room.
"What do you mean my 'mine'?" she asked.
"I mean that this is where you will stay for now," Milind answered.
"How, I didn't pay for this apartment or this furniture, I frankly can't afford it."
"You can't, but I can."
"Milind, I cannot take this from you," Prachi said.
"And why not?" Milind asked.
"I just can't Milind," Prachi protested, "I refuse to be a charity case."
"This isn't charity!"
"It doesn't feel right? What are people going to say? Who am I to you?" she asked.
"Who are you?" Milind repeated. He walked over to her, sat down next to her and took her face in his hands. "You Pari are the woman that I love. I refuse to let anything happen to you," he said before he kissed her forehead.
"But…"
"No 'buts'; I know you wouldn't want to be a burden to Nancy, so this is your only option," he said. After a short pause Milind looked at her with a glint in his eyes, "Well you do have one more option."
"What?" Prachi asked.
"You could move in with me," he said with a wink.
"No! I can't do that," Prachi said in horror, "I'm still married…I…"
"That is a minor detail, but anyway, it's this or my place. I think you might like this place more only because Somya would be here with you."
"Somya?" Prachi asked, "She can't stay, she has to go back to school in Arizona."
"Actually Di, I don't," Somya said, coming in to the room with a cup of tea for Prachi.
"Huh?"
"Remember I was telling you the last time we spoke that I was thinking about transferring to UCLA so I could be closer to you?" Somya asked.
"Yeah, but that wasn't until this school year was over."
"Well, the school year is almost over and well…" Somya didn't finish her sentence because Milind broke in.
"I made a call to the admissions head at UCLA and got her transferred for the fall. I also had a talk with the dean of ASU and they have allowed her to complete the last few weeks via email and she can take her final online as well," he said, answering Prachi's questions.
"How?" Prachi asked.
"Well I went to college with the UCLA guy and the dean of ASU is married to one of my old friends."
"So, that means that you are back for good," Prachi asked as she looked at Somya.
"Yeah Di, I'm back," Somya responded as she hugged her sister.
Prachi was so happy that her baby sister was coming home. With everything that had been going on for the past few years, Prachi had really missed Somya; having her home was going to be great. Prachi broke from the hug and then looked at Milind with love and respect in her eyes.
"Thank you so much," she said gratefully.
"I'm glad I could help…"
"Oh, nice to see you are all getting settled just fine," Nancy said as she stumbled in with Prachi's things, "I had no problem lugging all of these things up two flights of stairs; no problem at all!"
Milind, Prachi and Somya all had guilty looks on their faces; Milind even ran up to help but by then Nancy had dropped everything on the floor and plopped down on the couch.
"Sorry," we just caught up in talking.
"Yeah, yeah," Nancy said as she blew Milind off. She then turned to Prachi with a smile on her face, "Oh my God, can you believe it, we are going to be neighbors!"
"I know," Prachi said as she looked at Milind, "I just found out."
"Yeah, he's great isn't he," Nancy boasted, "Mr. Pier is a keeper!"
"Nancy! Hush!" Prachi said in horror as Milind smiled a wicked smile.
"What? He has heard it before," Nancy defended.
"How?" Prachi asked.
"Umm…" Nancy didn't know what to say because she had let the little nickname spill when Milind had brought Prachi to her house.
"Mr. Pier huh? It's catchy, I like it," Milind teases as he cut in.
Milind stopped talking as his phone rang; looking at the caller ID he knew he couldn't ignore the call. He had answered and then asked a few questions and gave a conformation, then hung up. He immediately dialed another number.
"Is it ready? It is, good. I'll be over to get it now," he said into the phone before he hung up. "I need to go, I have something important that I need to do," he told the girls.
Prachi noticed the serious look in his eyes, "Is everything alright?" she asked, worried.
"Yes everything is fine, I'll be back soon. You guy should start unpacking, I'll help once I come back." Milind then leaned in and placed a quick and soft kiss on her lips before he headed to the door. "Hey, you girls watch out for my girl…my Pari," he said to Somya and Nancy, causing Prachi to blush.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Road Kill Bar – Hollywood Ca 1:30pm
Milind parked his car in the parking lot of a bar whose sign rear 'Road Kill'. Other than his car there were only two other cars parked there. Milind exited his car with an envelope and then headed inside the bar. As he entered, he could smell the alcohol and cigarettes already, and it was still the afternoon. The room was dark with only a few lights over head illuminating the place. Milind scanned the bar counter, he saw the bar tender and a man dressed in a wrinkled suit. As he scanned the back of the room his eyes fell on his target. Milind walked up to the table where he sat and kicked it waking the man.
"Mr. Neev Shergill, great place to be in the afternoon," he said sarcastically, "…real classy."
A drunken Neev looked up and had to squint to focus on Milind's face.
"What the hell do you want?" he hissed, "Aren't you supposed to stay away form me, with the restraining order and all…" he slurred.
"You really are an idiot aren't you?" Milind asked as he sat down. "You have to stay away from Prachi. If you want me to stay away form you, you will need to get a restraining order against me," he said, "However, if you do one thing for me, I promise I will stay away from you."
"Huh? What can I do for you?" Neev asked.
"You…can sign these divorce papers for me," Milind said as he pulled out the papers form the envelope.
"Hell no! She is my wife!" he yelled.
Neev was about to stand up but Milind put one had on his shoulder and pushed him back down.
"Look, I suggest that you sign these papers without a fight, or else…"
"Or else what, you will kill me, beat me up?" Neev asked with a shaky voice.
"Oh I wont do anything…nothing at all," Milind said as he leaned into the chair, "I do have friends though; friends that enjoy torturing people just for the hell of it. They really like the sight of blood, don't ask me why. One of them, he is totally crazy and loves to just chop off peoples fingers, one joint at a time."
"W…what?" Neev stuttered.
"Yeah," Milind said casually, "I suggest that you sign the paper if you don't want your darling little fingers chopped off."
"But…what will I get out of all of this?" Neev asked.
Milind let out a disgusted chuckle, "I knew you would ask this question," he said as he reached into his coat and pulled out his check book. "How does $50,000 sound?"
"Are you serious or are you shitting me?"
"I'm dead serious. You want it or not?" Jai said in a murderous tone.
"Hell yeah I do! Where do I sign?"
"That's what I thought," Milind said as he handed Neev a pen.
Neev quickly signed the divorce papers which stated that he had no issues he wanted to hash out in court, he wasn't contesting the divorce and that he just wanted this marriage to end as soon as possible. As soon as Neev signed the papers Milind put them back in the envelope and proceeded to leave.
"Hey, my money!" called out Neev.
Milind stopped, turned and then grabbed Neev by the collar bring him to his feet.
"If I ever, ever see you within a mile of Prachi, so help me God, you will be a dead man. I never want to see you anywhere near Prachi ever again. Understood?" Milind roared.
Neev silently shook his head in agreement. Milind threw him back down onto the chair and threw the check at his feet before he left.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Encino, Ca : Valley Terrace Apartments 5pm
The sun had already begun setting and Prachi was really worried that Milind wasn't back yet. She didn't know where he could be she was worried sick about him. A part of her was mad at him as well, couldn't he have called to at least touch base with her.
"Where could he be?" she whined.
"Dear Lord Di, he will be here when he is done," Somya said as she and Nancy began unpacking another box of things.
"Yeah chill! He is a grown man, he can take care of himself," Nancy offered, "You did see how he handled that scum bag back at the hospital?"
"Yeah, Mr. Pier gave that ass hole one hell of an ass kicking!" Somya said as she punched the air.
"Will you two stop calling him Mr. Pier?" Prachi said exasperated.
"It's cute," Nancy complained, "Besides, don't worry about him worry about how we'll get Neev to sign the papers."
"I don't…" Prachi had begun to speak but suddenly the door to their apartment opened; Prachi in relief as Milind walked in.
With him Milind carried a bouquet of exotic flowers, a bunch of colorful balloons, a huge box of Ferrero-Rocher chocolate, a bottle of something and an envelope tucked under his arm.
"No need to worry about that either," he announced as he set the things down on the coffee table, "He signed the papers."
"He what?" all three of the girls asked at once.
"He signed the papers and I already gave them to Mr. Adler to begin processing," Milind said, "Fingers crossed, this whole nightmare will be over in a few months."
Prachi's eyes glazed over with tears that she tried to blink back, "Really?" she asked.
"Yes, really, you will finally be free," Milind said as he sat next to her and pulled her into a hug.
Breaking the hug he saw that even Nancy and Somya were tearing up.
"Oh come one, this is a good thing; no water works, lets celebrate! I brought champagne and chocolate."
"I don't drink," Prachi said.
"I know," Milind said as he attempted to open the bottle, "That is why I brought sparkling apple cider."
"Somya, go grab some glasses while I get a vase for these gorgeous flowers," said Nancy.
"We don't have any glasses yet," Somya said.
"Top right shelf, second rack…there are some champagne flutes there," Milind told her.
"Wow, you really did go all out, didn't you Mr. Pier?" Nancy commented as Prachi nearly smacked her head.
"Of course, anything for my Pari," Milind said as he kissed Prachi on the cheek.
A minute later Somya returned with the glasses and poured the gold liquid into them, Nancy had also come back with the flowers that were now settled in a bronze colored vase. Milind handed a flute to Prachi and then raised his hand in a toast.
"A toasts to happiness, freedom," then he turned to Prachi and continued, "to my Pari and the most important thing in the world…LOVE."
"Cheers," they all rejoiced.
"Too Love," Prachi said softly before taking a sip and settling against Milind.
Pyaar Ishq aur Mohabbat
Pyaar ishq aur mohabbat
Jo bhi inka naam le, pehle dil ko thaam le
Naam lene se hi kayamath ho jaati hai
Pyaar ishq aur mohabbat
Humko bhi rog yeh lag jaaye agar
Aisa ho toh ho kya, aisa kyoon ho magar
Jisne bhi yeh dil diya, jisne bhi yeh gham liya
Kuch na poochho uski baatein
Lambi lambi kaali raatein
Uski aankhon se neend rukhsat ho jaati hai
Pyaar ishq aur mohabbat
Iss jagaa hum mile phool dil mein khile
Kya khabar, kya pataa hum mein tum mein ho kya
Baaton baaton mein kabhi, aankhon aakhon mein kabhi
Chaar din ki dosti mein
Ek zara si dillagi mein
Bas kisi ek din sharaarat ho jaati hai
Pyaar ishq aur mohabbat
Pyaar ishq aur mohabbat
Jo bhi inka naam le, pehle dil ko thaam le
Naam lene se hi qayaamat ho jaati hai
Pyaar ishq aur mohabbat
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
