Samrat and gunjan were in each others arms , startled out of the trance by the opening of the door and nupurs loud harsh voice.

"SAMRAT."

She looked wild with anger .both of them moved apart.

"dekha mujhe pata tha.", she told mayank and continued to samrat," Samrat, tumne mere behen ke saath aisa kuch karne ki socha bhi kaise? Tumhe kya lagtha hai tum apne saari purane girlfriends ki tarah gunjan ke saath bhi ...yeh sab use pasand nahin hai. mujhe laga tum badal chuke ho. Gunjan ki khayal hai tumhe. Lekin puraane aadat itne aasani se nahin badalthe hain. " she went on in full spree without giving anyone any chance to talk.

Gunjan held samrats arm and tried to move behind him so that Mayank couldn't see her.

Nupur walked towards gunjan, pulled her away from samrat and put her arm around her protectively," jab tak main hoon, tum gunjan ke paas bhi nahin aasakthe ."

Samrat who had initially faced her little guiltily and with embarrassment now stared at her totally confused and slightly angry.

"nupur...tum yeh kya. Mayank...tum bhi yehi...?" samrat glanced from one to another.

"mayank ko kya lagtha hai, poori duniya ko kya lagtha hai, isise jo saamne dikh raha hai woh badal tho nahin jaatha. Aur gunjan, tu kya pehni hai? chal change karlo aur chalo meri saath."

" di. Mujhe tumhare saath nahin jaana." Gunjans voice came out clearly.she walked out of her sisters arm and stood a little apart.

Nupur looked like she had been slapped.

Mayank who had been quiet till then, immediately said," nupur chalo yahan se. Gunjan sorry."

"nahin mayank. Gunjan ko pata nahin ki woh kya bol rahi hai.yeh sab tumhare wajah se hai samrat. Jab tum sab ke saamne college mein meri behen ko kiss kar sakthe ho, tho..."

"DI MUJHE SAMRAT KE KHILAAF KUCH NAHIN SUNNA HAi."

Gunjans usually soft voice had risen.Nupur stood still, for once her words failed her. Looking at her stricken face, gunjan put her hand out towards Nupur .Appealing.

"gunjan tu mujhpe chillayi"nupur asked her in a hurt tone," samrat ki wajah se tu meri saath jagad rahi hai? jitna main tumhe jaanthi hoon, uski dus percent bhi nahin jaatha hain woh tumhe. Tumhe kya pasand hain, kya nahin. Yeh sab mujhe pata hain. Kisi aur ko nahin. Tumhare liye kya galat hai ya kya sahi, yeh mujhe pata hain, kisi aur ko nahin." Her voice broke.

"di, sorry ,. Woh bas, di please ." gunjan made to touch her arm.

"chod gunjan." nupur didnt let her complete her sentence or touch her.

Nupur found a hand on her shoulder, firmly pulling her out . mayank had come nearer ," i think ki hum dono ko abhi ghar jaan chahiye nupur. Jo bhi baat baaki hain, woh sab kal karde na. Bye gunjan." nupur ignored him and resisited his pull.

"samrat , Tum gunjan ko ghar chod do" Mayank told Samrat and with a pat on his shoulder , walked out pulling Nupur along with him.

They had hardly gone a few steps when Samrat came running out," Mayank, tum aaye kaise ho? Chahiye tho gaadi leke jao. Abhi koi auto nahin milega."

Mayank smiled and nodded.

Farmhouse

Gunjan felt lost, she didn't know what had gone wrong where. She changed soon and barged out into garden where she saw samrat sitting on the lawn.

"samrat, mujhe ghar jaana hai."

"tumhe bhi mujpe yakeen nahin hain kya?"

She sat down immediately besides him and placed her hand on his arm,"samrat tum di ki baton ko seriously mat lo. jab hum dono ko aisa dekh liya tho...tumpar chillane lagi. "

"par kyun? Woh kya mujhe jaanthi nahin hai? woh yahaan aayi kyun?" gunjan stared at him quietly she herself was thinking about why nupur had come running after her.

"chashmish, kya tumhe kabhi mujpar doubts nahin aate?" samrat asked her earnestly. He was a well known flirt,afterall. Gunjan looked at his troubled face and said with a squeeze on his hands,

"nahin samrat. Main jaanthi hoon tum mujse kitna pyaar karte ho. Aur main yeh bhi jaanthi hoon ki tum kisiko hurt nahin kar sakthe." Both smiled at each other slightly.

"bas, di ko bohot bura lag raha hai." She sighed, "shaayad woh teek bhi hai. Hum log bhi kuch zyaada hi kareeb the."

Samrats face fell. For all that she said, didn't she trust him?

Gunjan looked as he removed his hand which was on hers. She saw the downcast look ," kya hua?"

"kuch nahin. Chalo main tumhe ghar chod deta hoon." He got up.

On samrat being continuously silent throughout the drive home, gunjan got worried.

"samrat tum di ki baato ka bura mat maano. Please. Tum itna chup kyu ho?"

"mujhe is baat se hurt hota hai chashmish ki tumhe laga ki ham dono ki beech kuch galat horaha tha."

"nahin samrat , mujhe aisa nahin lagtha. Main jaanthi hoon ki jo bhi ho raha tha, woh hum dono ki marzi se hi horaha tha. Main bas di ki aankhon se sochne ki koshish kar rahi thi."

Samrat was quiet. Gunjan bent nearer and kissed him on the cheek , placing her hand on his other cheek. Samrat said," I love you gunjan. Bas yeh yaad rakhna."

Both hugged and all the kadwaahat of the evening got diluted.
