"He is that same guy..." Abeer whispered.
"Who...?? What guy...??" Niyati asked.
"That night when I went to pick meher... He was there with her... Calling me jiju..." Abeer answered.
"Haha... Wish I could witness that..." Niyati giggled.
"Very funny... You sit here... And I'm gonna go and check what's up..." Abeer told niyati.
Niyati took a sip of her orange juice when someone sat on the chair beside.
"Hey Sasha... Good morning..." Niyati greeted.
"Good morning dear... So had a great night...??"
"Hmm... Historic night..." Niyati commented.
"What...??? Aisa kya kiya tum dono ne...??" Sasha asked.
"Time hi nahi mila..."
And then both the girls burst out laughing.
"Why are you both laughing...??" Nisaar asked and joined them.
"I also want to know..." Abeer also joined them back.
"Woh teri raat ka fasana discuss kar rahe the..." Sasha told abeer.
Abeer was utterly shocked and looked at niyati. Niyati looked back at Sasha and again bursted into laughter.
"Yuckkk..." Nisaar muttered.
"Arrey kuch nahi hua tha kal..." Abeer clarified.
But the girls who couldn't stop laughing as only they knew they were laughing because nothing really happened.
Meher looked at them from away and felt left out. They were a group once. It was her place before and now niyati took over it. And that too very efficiently, because they all seemed to be having the time of their life. When abeer came where she stood, she thought he came there to talk to her. But instead he came to inquire about appendix. The same guy she met at the bar.
"So he will be joining us... Meher ne job di hai usko..." Abeer said.
"Ohh..." They replied.
"Banda acha hi hoga... Meher he bhai bna liya hai usko..." abeer concluded.
"Tujhe kya...?? Ignore kar na..." Nisaar told abeer.
"Ya dude..."
"What's wrong between you guys...???"
Meher turned to look at appendix standing beside her looking at the group enjoying their breakfast.
"Everything I guess... The girl there..."
"Lambi wali..??"
"Nahi... Woh choti wali... Hot wali... Woh Jo chipak rahi hai... Woh..." Meher remarked.
"Hot toh lag rahi hai... Jiju ki choice mast hai waise..." Appendix said after looking at niyati.
"Are you on his side or my side..???" Meher asked.
"Obviously your side... Relax sister... Main hoon na..."
"Humare paas time nahi hai jyada..." Meher said still her eyes not leaving them.
"Hmm..."
Nisaar got a call from meher and he told abeer to come with him. It was time to get ready as the shooting would soon start. Abeer nodded his head in positive and got up to leave when niyati hugged him and wished him luck.
"Baby its just a shooting... anyways thank you..." Abeer said and walked away.
Sasha still found them cheesy but if abeer liked her, she was fine with the whole situation.
"Sasha have you ever seen sun rise on the beach...???" Niyati asked.
"Nope... But I have seen sun set..." replied Sasha.
"So let's see it tomorrow... What say...??"
"I say done..."
"Great... You know I really like you... Actually I like both of u... You and nisaar... But is he single...??? Or are you guys dating...??" Niyati asked raising her eye brow.
"No need of using match-making skills... And we are not dating... We both are single and friends..." Sasha replied.
"Ohh... You know I have always had like hundred of friends... But not everyone of them was supporting or understanding... But I'm happy abeer has such good friends..."
"Har dost sacha nahi hota and we three are bffs..." Sasha told niyati.
"True..."
"Excuse me..."
Niyati turned around to see that same guy in front of her, about whom abeer was talking.
"Yes..."
"Hi I'm appendix..." He introduced.
"Hi... I'm niyati... Nice to meet you..."
"Indian...??" He inquired.
"Yes... Indian..." Niyati replied and giggled.
"I must say you really look ravishing... Are you into modeling...???" Appendix asked.
"Tha... Thank you... No I have never tried it..."
"Ohh... Want to try it...?? Actually I have a proposal..."
"No... My boyfriend will not like it... Sorry..."
Niyati walked away and appendix followed her.
"Listen its for abeer sir only... You are his girlfriend and he will love it... Actually let it be... Thank you..."
When appendix walked away dejectedly, niyati turned around and stopped him.
"Is it really for abeer...?? What is it exactly like...??" She asked.
"Let's walk and talk..."
Appendix turned around and stood beside niyati, walking ahead while she followed him.
"No guys this is not happening..." Abeer said oit of irritation.
"Relaxx abeer... You guys sit and talk before the shooting resumes again..." Meher told abeer.
"Fine..."
Abeer was talking to his band members and explaining them things until he looked around and wondered where was niyati.
"Guys just gimme a minute..."
Abeer took nisaar away from the band members and told him to call Sasha and know where they both are.
"Your girlfriend is not a kid..." Nisaar said as a matter of fact.
"Are you doing it nisaar...??" Abeer asked.
"No... There she is... See... I think thats she only..." Nisaar pointed.
Abeer looked where nisaar pointed and stared at it.
"Yes... But who is that idiot...??" Abeer wondered.
"Abeer nisaar... Guys we don't have all day..." Meher stood in front of them with her hands on her waist.
"Coming boss..." Abeer said and walked back to the place where the other members stood.
"Why is he so grumpy...??" Meher whispered.
"His baby is with someone else... Look..." Nisaar replied and smirked.
"Baby... What is he...??? A babysitter...???" Meher said getting irritated.
"Babysitter..." Nisaar said and laughed his guts out.
"A music video...?? What do you think guys...?? Isn't it too outdated..." Abeer said unsure of what sattu sir suggested.
"What about a play...?? Something live you know..." Meher suggested.
"Now that's a good idea... I agree with meher..." Abeer immediately agreed.
"I agree too..." Nisaar also agreed.
"So appendix come up with an idea asap..." Meher told appendix and he nodded his head in a yes.
In the evening, they all decided to go clubbing while abeer was wishing to take niyati with him a long walk, near the beach.
"Abeer what's there in a walk on a beach...??" Niyati asked crossing her arms.
"cmon... Its relaxing and romantic... Walking barefoot on the sand near the beach..." Abeer reasoned.
"Let's go to the club downstairs first... Just for few minutes... And then on the beach... Pleaseee..."
Abeer agreed looking at niyati and the happiness reflecting on her face.
"Thank you... I love you..." Niyati smiled at abeer.
"Love you too..."
"Abeer... Let's dance... What's wrong with you...??"
Niyati stood beside abeer and asked him.
"Niyu I saw you with someone today..." Abeer confessed.
"That was some production guy... Are you jealous...??"
"I was worried... I don't want to lose you..."
Niyati looked at abeer and her eyes were filled with tears.
"No one ever loved me that much... Not even dad... And mom... Well I just know one thing that she left me when I was a kid... Dad and her weren't compatible..." Niyati whispered.
"I know baby... I know..."
Abeer side hugged niyati and pulled him into him.
"This girl... See... For chipak gyi abeer ke saath... Aisi hi type ki ladkiyan hoti hain jo..."
Appendix cut meher in between by saying "but she seems innocent... And abhi jiju be hug kiya usko... You didn't notice it probably..."
"Tu meri side hai ya uski..." Meher glared at appendix.
"Only yours sister..." Appendix said and grinned at meher.
"You have a plan... Am I right...??"
"Very right..." Appendix confirmed.
"Guys let's dance..." Sasha came and said to niyati and abeer.
"Yeah... Niyati go baby... I will join you in a minute..." Abeer smiled at niyati.
Niyati nodded her head in negative but Sasha took her forcefully towards the dance floor.
Abeer smiled looking at them and gulped down a shot of vidkja before walking oit of the club. Meher saw it and followed him. She found him standing in the backyard of the hotel leaning against the wall looking at the beach.
"What is wrong abeer...??" Meher asked after joining him.
"Nothing..." came the reply.
"You can share it with me... We were friends first of all... And we can be friends all out life..." Meher told abeer.
"Meher its not about me yaar..."
"Then...??"
"Its about niyati... And I don't think I should talk to you about her..." Abeer said as a matter of fact.
"Abeer its bothering you... And you can share it with me... Don't you trust me enough..." Meher asked, her voice cracking at the end.
"Meher... Niyati... I know a secret about her life that she should know... But I don't know how to tell it to her... She hates her mother... You know why..??"
"Why..??"
"Because one morning she woke up and found that her mother wasn't anywhere around. She left her all alone. She supposedly fell in love with another guy and eloped. Her father made her believe that and that she never cared for them... Niyati has believed it all her life and grew up with servants, fake friends and everything money could buy... You know what her mother never wanted to leave... Her father... He gave her mother a very good amount of money to leave... And she left... Because she was actually in love with someone and wanted yo start a new life with him... But she did wanted to take niyati with her... But uncle wanted niyati at any cost and her mother accepted money for obvious reasons... She wanted niyati to be happy and live lije a princess... The life which she always had... I heard her father while he was talking to someone... I know this ugly truth but telling it to niyati... It will break her heart... Neither can I disclose it nor can I hide it... Its suffocated me... I don't know what to do meher..." Abeer sighed and a tear rolled down his eye.
"Wish I knew what to do abeer... I pity her... Her life will turn upside down once she gets to know it... Its sad and disgusting too... She is not commodity..." Meher replied.
"You are right... That man has been lying and cheating niyati from years and may be that's why I'm a bit moire protective towards her... Im scared... Scared every minute... I don't want her to get hurt... She deserves to be happy and a life... A life which is a bed of roses..." Abeer said and then regretted saying it in front of meher, thinking she might be hurt.
"I'm not hurt..." Meher replied.
"Thank you..."
"Anytime... Now let's go back... What say...??" Meher asked.
"Yes..."
Abeer and meher walked back into the club and looked around for others. Everyone was present there dancing and enjoying the night except niyati and Sasha, and abeer ran to nisaar to inquire about them. Nisaar said he saw Sasha walking out of the club and have no idea where they went. Meher then called Sasha while abeer called niyati. Abeer went to his room thinking niyati might be there. While Meher tried the call again and Sasha picked up the call. Sasha told that she followed niyati after she left the club and now she isn't anywhere. Meher called abeer and he picked it up in the first ring.
"Did you find her...??" Abeer asked.
"No... But Sasha said she followed niyati and now she can't find her..."
"She is not in the bedroom also... Where she could be...???" Abeer panicked and disconnected the call.
Meher ran to abeer's room and found him sitting there with his buried in his hands.
"Abeer..."
"I think she heard us..." Abeer whispered.
"We have to find her abeer... Get up..." Meher said.
"She will hate me meher..."
"She will not..." Meher said with her eyes moist.
Why did it felt that she was letting abeer go and handing him over to niyati...?? Was it because she was realising that he loves her...?? Or was it because of how abeer looked broken without her...??
She had no idea...
Don't leave the forum guys... Not so soon...
