CHAPTER 18-BHOLI
Rey's eyes were fixed at the entrance. He did not want to miss seeing her enter. All sorts of thoughts kept on crossing his mind.
"Usne kya pehna hoga? Suit ya western? Aaj to wo mujhse baat karegi na? Sab se pehle wo kisko colour lagayegi?"
He shook his head in despair when he saw Kriya enter the venue. He wanted to drag her out but unlike him Sharon went and hugged her. Now he felt like killing Sharon as well.
Sh : Hey Kriya... Tum Mumbai kab aayi?
K : (looking at Rey) Kal...
R : (to himself) Kabhi sach bola hai jo aaj bol degi?
Sh : Kuch kaha tumne Rey?
R : Main kaun hota hu bolne wala?
K : (thinking : Aaj main sab ko apne pyaar me rang dungi... Aap ko bhi Rey) Kyu Rey aap mujhe dekh ke khush nahi hai?
R : (giving a fake smile) KHUSH? (sarcastically) ITNA KHUSH TO ZINDAGI ME MAIN KABHI NAHI HUA !
Sh : (noticing the sarcasm) Rey... just check ki saare colors aa gaye hai ki nahi? (Rey leaves, and Kriya is about to follow) Arey... tum kaha jaa rahi ho? Let's chat jab tak gang nahi aa jati...
Sharon could sense the tension between Rey and Kriya, and somewhere her heart kept on saying that this was the reason for Rey and Taani's break-up. She would have to talk to Swayam about this. but till then she would keep Kriya and rey away from each other.
**********************************************************************************************************
Here Swayam and Shivam were sitting in the couch waiting for Taani to get ready. Swayam looked at Shivam then at his watch and then back to Shivam.
Sw : Tum yeh magazine panchvi baar padh rahe ho...
Shivam : And tum bhi apni ghadi "I-DON'T-KNOW" kitne baar dekh chuke ho !
Sw : TAANI???
T : (shouted from her room) Bus 5 mins more...
Shivam : (without glancing up) That means another half an hour...
Sw : Yeh ladkiyaan itna time kyun leti hai ready hone me?
Shivam : PERFECT MAKE-UP FOR FLAWLESS SKIN
Sw : What?
Shivam : (showing him the magazine ) Ye raha reason ladkiyon ko itna time lagta hai ready hone me... (points to an article "PERFECT MAKE-UP")
Swayam takes the book from Shivam and reads the points aloud.
Sw : STEP 1-Hide dark circles.
Here Taani applies a moisturizer with SPF and then uses a concealer. She wouldn't have had dark circles had she not been crying remembering Rey.
Shivam takes the magazine from Swayam and reads the next point.
Shivam : STEP 2- A touch of base. (looks at Swayam) What's a base?
Sw : HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?
None of them had noticed Taani standing behind them. She snatched the magazine from Shivam's hands. rolled it and smacked both Swayam and Shivam on their backs.
Shivam, Swayam : OUCH !
T : Sharam nahi aati... ladkiyon ki magazines padh rahe ho !!!
Sw : (pointing towards Shivam) Wo padh raha tha ! Mujhe kyu mara?
T : Kyun ki bhai aap bhi kafi interest ke saath sun rahe the !!!
Shivam : Madam finally aa gayi hai to chale? Waise who's driving?
TaaYam : (together) ME !
Shivam glanced from Taani to Swayam. If he supported Taani, Swayam would be pissed off at him and if he supported Swayam, Taani would kick his ass. It was better not make Taani angry. Finally he blurted out - "TAANI'S DRIVING" and gave a sorry look to Swayam. Swayam took a deep breath and finally they left for the function.
**********************************************************************************************************
Rey glanced at the entrance for the nth time and finally saw Swayam enter. Finally his wait had come to an end. He was going to make Taani fall in love with him all over again. He will again make Taani his. As he hugged Swayam, he whispered in his ears...
R : Taani kahan hai?
Sw : Abhi to pichey hi thi... Aa rahi hogi Shivam ke saath...
Rey didn't like the last three words 'SHIVAM KE SAATH'. Lately he had noticed that Taani and Shivam had actually come closer to each other. This made him jealous. And with Taani ignoring him, it just added fuel to the fire.
Taani and Shivam were discussing their plans for the last time. They had to make sure nothing could go wrong. All they needed was to get Kriya drink the bhaang and make her feel jealous, insecure and guilty. They knew that Kriya thought Shivam to be dead. So if she see's Shivam, she would definitely blurt out the truth. But till then Shivam had to remain hidden. So he entered the venue, unnoticed by everyone and coloured his face with a dark coloured gulaal. Now it was Taani's turn to make Kriya fall in the trap and Taani entered making almost all the boys drool over her. She had wore a sleeveless top and shorts, that revealed her perfectly flawless milky white skin, her feminine curves and her sexy legs. She liked being the centre of attention now as she was now a stronger Taani and no emotional fool, a Taani who had no time for love.
Seeing the other boys drooling over 'HIS' Taani, Rey jealousy and possessiveness increased, and he started his plan to make Taani his again which would in fact put Taani's and Shivam's plan in motion as well. Even Kriya started with her plan and started singing...
Balam Pichkaari
Jo Tune Mujhe Maari
Toh Bole Re Zamaana
Kharaabi Ho Gayi
Kriya moved towards Rey and tried to apply gulaal on Rey's cheeks who shrugged her off.
Mere Ang Raaja
Jo Tera Rang Laaga
Toh Seedhi Saadhi Chhori Sharaabi Ho Gayi..
Kriya stopped Rey by holding his wrist. While Sharon applied gulaal on Swayam's cheeks.
Itna Mazaa..
Kyun Aa Rahaa Hai..
Tune Hawaa Mein Bhaang Milaaya
Taani moved towards the boys holding a glass of Thandayi (a kind of drink) and pointed towards the boys one by one, throwing a fistful colours in the air.
Itna Mazaa..
Kyun Aa Rahaa Hai..
Tune Hawaa Mein Bhaang Milaaya
A guy his face covered with colour came with a tray full of Thandayi and gave it to the girls one by one but the drinks ended just before Kriya could take one.
Dugna Nasha..
Kyun Ho Rahaa Hai
Aankhon Se Meetha Doodh Khilaaya
Taani brought a special Thandayi mixed with bhaang for Kriya and handed it to her which she gulped down at once.
O Teri Malmal Ki Kurti Gulaabi Ho Gayi
Manchali Chaal Kaise Nawaabi Ho Gayi
Swayam took a plate full of pink colored gulaal and threw it in Sharon's direction. While Rey followed Taani, mimicking her walk.
Toh Balam Pichkaari Jo Tune Mujhe Maari
Toh Seedhi Saadhi Chhori Sharaabi Ho Gayi
Gulping down another glass of bhaang handed to her by that guy, she stepped in front of Rey and threw the glass in the air.
Haan Jeans Pehan Ke Jo Tune Maara Thumka
Toh Lattu Padosan Ki Bhaabhi Ho Gayi..
Rey held Kriya by her waist and then made her spin fast and gently pushed her aside making her tumble as he made his way towards Taani.
Balam Pichkaari Jo Tune Mujhe Maari
Toh Seedhi Saadhi Chhori Sharaabi Ho Gayi
Haan Jeans Pehan Ke Jo Tune Maara Thumka
Toh Lattu Padosan Ki Bhaabhi Ho Gayi..
Swayam ran behind Sharon throwing coloured water on her. Pulling Sharon by her waist, he gave a small peck on her cheek.
Teri Kalaayi Hai..
Haathon Mein Aayi Hai..
Maine Maroda Toh Lagti Malaayi Hai
Rey held Taani's wrist and pulled her towards himself. As she collided with his strong chest, he slowly applied colours to her already flushed cheek.
Mehenga Pade Ga Yeh
Chaska Malaayi Ka
Upwaas Karne Mein Teri Bhalaayi Hai
Taani gave a gentle push to Rey, while her eyes glanced over Rey's shoulder to the stall where Kriya stood gulping down the bhaang being handed to her by none other than Shivam.
Ho Bindiya Teri Maahtaabi Ho Gayi
Dil Ke Armaano Mein Behisaabi Ho Gayi
Rey held Taani by her waist, her face inches away from his.
Toh Balam Pichkaari Jo Tune Mujhe Maari
Toh Seedhi Saadhi Chhori Sharaabi Ho Gayi
Swayam lifted Sharon who was blushing profusely, and dropped her in the tub full of coloured water.
Haan Jeans Pehan Ke Jo Tune Maara Thumka
Toh Lattu Padosan Ki Bhaabhi Ho Gayi..
Rey lifted Taani up and rotated her. She was enjoying his touch but her eyes were fixed on Kriya who was now drunk enough and ready to explode out of jealousy.
**********************************************************************************************************
Wherever Kriya looked, she imagined Taani and Rey in all the couples. This jealousy was burning her from inside. Here the guy in the drinks stall kept on giving her drinks repeating that both Taani and Rey looked so cute with each other. This made her drink more and more and finally unable to control herself she shouted on top of her voice...
"BAS BOHOT HO GAYA !"
Everyone including Rey turned to look at her. Taani just smirked and looked at Shivam who also looked smug.
"KYU REY?" Kriya moved towards Rey "MUJHME... AAP KI BAATCUTTER ME AISI KYA KAMI THI JO AAP... " pointing towards Taani angrily "...AAP IS LADKI KE LIYE MUJHE CHOD DIYE? AISA KYA HAI IS TAANI ME JO MAIN NAHI KAR SAKTI?" she grabbed Rey by his collar "..BOLIYE NA REY... BOLIYE... MAINE HAR MUMKIN KOSHISH KI AAP KO BHUL JAANE KI..." fell on her knees sobbing "... PAR.. PAR AAP KI YAADEIN MERA PICHA HI NAHI CHODTI..."
Freeing himself, Rey said " YAHAN PE TAMASHA MAT KHADA KARO !"
"TAMASHA? " Kriya continued "MAIN TAMASHA KAR RAHI HU REY? AAP NE..." hitting Rey on his chest with her hand "...AAP NE... MERA TAMASHA BANA DIYA ! AAP KO YAAD NAHI AATI HUMARI ROMANCE? WOH GAON ME KISS KARTE HUYE PAKDE JAANA?" cupping his face "HUMARI ALMOST SHAADI HO GAYI THI REY..."
Seeing matter getting out of hand, Swayam pulled Kriya up and said " TUM HOSH ME NAHI HO KRIYA..."
Pushing Swayam, she said " OH... MERE DOST... MERI ZARA BHI YAAD AAYI? NAHI NA... HOW IS IT KI TUMHARI BEHEN KO SAB KUCH MIL JATA HAI? UNIVERSE JI BHI USKE SAATH HAI... " looking up "HAI NA? ISILIYE AAP NE TAANI KO ZINDA RAKHA? "
Shivam wiped the gulaal from his face and stepped in front of Kriya, "KYUN? USSE MERI TARAH MAR JANA CHAHIYE THA?"
Seeing Shivam acted as a trigger to her guilt, "SHIVAM... AM SORRY... MAINE TO TAANI KO MARNE KE LIYE PAISE DIYE THE... PAR MAINE TUMHE KHO DIYA..." turning to face Rey "AAP KO PAANE KE LIYE MAINE APNE BHAI KO BHI MARNE KE LIYE CHOD DIYA... AUR KITNA PROOF CHAHIYE MERE PYAAR KI AAP KO?"
Before she could say anymore, an angry Sharon took a bucket of water and splashed it on Kriya's face. As she came to her senses, Kriya noticed everyone's shocked face. As she saw Shivam, she gasped in disbelief.
Shivam moved towards her and *THAP*... slapped her on her cheek saying " TUM JAISI BEHEN TO KOI DUSHMAN KO BHI NA DE... " . Rey, Swayam and Sharon gave a disgusting look at Kriya who sat sobbing on the ground. Taani moved forward and said "YOU KNOW YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE IN HELL !" and looking at Rey " REY MUJHE TUMSE YEH UMEED NAHI THI ! I SHARED EACH AND EVERY DETAILS OF MY PAST... THEN WHY CAN'T YOU? AGAR YEH BAAT JO AAJ KRIYA NE KAHA WO TUMNE MUJHE PEHLE KEH DIYA HOTA TO HUM AAJ BHI SAATH HOTE... BUT I SEE YOU DON'T TRUST ME !" turning towards Swayam "BHAI AAP NE BHI CHUPA KE ACHA NAHI KIYA... BUT FIR AAP KO KAISE PATA HOTA KI REY NE MUJHE NAHI BATAYA HOGA..."
R : TAANI...
T : HAPPY HOLI REYAANSH... (and left from there, followed by Swayam and Shivam.)
Sharon tried to handle a shocked Rey as Taani called him by his full name which meant she had not forgiven him.
PRECAP : Taani turns professional. Funding of D3 academy. Reyam in for surprise.
