Second holi in Arjun's new life... Arjun's incomplete life is framed by him... After fulfilling his revenge and ambition of life, killing Sikander he is not completely back to his life... There is that one part of life which is empty and dark and need support... He didn't laugh at Sikander's death because he himself is already dead from inside...
Sameer, family and team support made him live... How can he forget annoying Sakshi Anand... Her antics curved his lips which he hid behind angry face... He is living life, but living love... No, he has no strength to lose his love again... For losing, he should love... Does it mean, he loves her... He always smacked his thoughts when question reaches there...
He stood with crossed hands against his hard chest with white shirt and blue jeans, "Sam, mein ne tere insistence par yaha aayi hoon... I am not going to play holi..."
"Teekhe, mere baap... matt khelo..." He said with folded hands, as he is hearing this for 10th time for him... "Holi matt khelo, at least sabse milo... Dekho waha sab intezzar kar rahe hai..."
Arjun and Sameer met Arjun's family, Sameer's family, Aisha's family... Aisha and Sameer got married one year back... This is special Holi for them as this is there first holi... They also met Shree's family, Liza family and Chotu's family... Everyone is there except Sakshi and her family... Arjun's eyes searched for her... His own search is hid from his conscious mind, because his subconscious mind knows her importance in his life...
His eyes paused at entrance as he saw Sakshi entering in long white dress with drape around her neck... She held are father who is discharged from hospital 4 months back... Her care is visible in her behavior... She joined them in no time... She wished everyone with her beautiful smile... Her father joined fathers of other team mates... Mothers made another group... Shree, Chotu, Liza, Aisha, Sameer, Sakshi and Arjun stood in separate group...
Arjun couldn't take his eyes off her... She is angel who stepped not on this land, but in his heart... Her soft and simple make up, falling lashes, hair running down her shoulders... One could just say, Wow...!!
"Kya dekh raha hai...???" Sameer questioned...
"Kuch nahi..." He walked away from there...
'Baagh beta baagh... jitna baaghna hai baagh... Baangh teri baaghna band karegi...' Sameer smirked thinking to himself...
"Aaj bhi Arjun itna ubbal kyun raha hai...??" Sakshi questioned...
"Chodna Sakshi, Arjun sir humesha aisa hi hai..." Shree said...
"Ha yaar..." Chotu agreed...
"Pata hai, yaha bhi strict orders mila hai..." Liza said...
"Kya...???" Sakshi questioned...
"Yahi ki koi Arjun ko rang nahi lagayega..." Aisha said...
'Accha... Tujhe rang nahi lagane ka order diya hai... teekhe Arjun, hum tumhe rang mein nehlayenge aur dubayenge, par.. rang nahi lagayenge...' Sakshi gave a naughty smile thinking in her mind...
********************************
She brought together all children present there... Sakshi explained them something bending to their height... She put her hand forward; all children put their hand on her and threw their hands up...
Arjun stood aside as everyone started playing holi... Everyone failed to convince him to play holi... Sakshi showed her thumb to children back of him... They pushed big tub filled with color water back of him... Sakshi ran to him as children ran beside her with colors... She ran and pushed Arjun back, pretending it as an accident... Arjun fell into tub of color water... He became wet in color from head to toe... Few children emptied small buckets of color water on him...
Sakshi laughed out loud... This is witnessed by ETF team and family members... Arjun made an angry face... Everyone are happy that at last Arjun is also got colored... Arjun glared at Sakshi... Arjun's mother is happy looking him like that... She looked at Sakshi and wished her in Arjun's life... Because she understood only Sakshi can break his barriers...
Sakshi held her ears, "Buran a maano holi hai..." Sakshi ran from there...
Arjun got up... Sameer reached there... To his surprise Arjun is not angry, he smiling... Arjun is smiling watching Sakshi's way... He is smiling at her childishness... He is smiling at her antics... He is smiling at her determination to color her...
"Tu hass raha hai...???" Sameer questioned in surprise...
"Mein... Nahi..." He said sternly and left from there...
'Beta, samai aagaya hai... baangh ka...' Sameer went to fill glass of baangh for Arjun...
*****************************
Everyone is busy with flying colors and grooving on best holi numbers, Balam Pickari, Rang Barse and so on... Arjun stood aside and watching the group of people enjoying... His eyes stuck on Sakshi stood in center and dancing on the sky...
"Yeh lo..." Sameer gave a glass to him...
"Mujhe baangh nahi peena hai..." Arjun said...
"Baangh nahi, tandai hai..." Sameer lied...
Arjun looked at the drink... He took first sip, then second sip, he emptied full glass, "Ek aur chahiye...??" Sameer questioned...
"Ha..." Sameer brought another glass... Arjun drank one after other... He emptied at least around 6 glasses... Sameer looked smiling at him, because he can see old Arjun...
"Kaisa lag raha hai...???" Sameer questioned...
"Bahot accha lag raha hai..."
"Very good... abb mera kaam katam, tera kaam shuru..." He said...
"Mera kaam...???" Arjun questioned under intoxication...
"Jao Sakshi se dil ki baat batao..." He said...
"Dil ki baat...??? Ha Dil ki baat... Kehna hai na... Sakshi...!!! Sakshi...!!!" Arjun walked swinging round in search of her...
He looked around... He at last reached sight Sakshi, "Sakshi...!!!! I am coming..." He went there in center and started dancing shocking everyone... Jaws of everyone touched the floor with sight... They pinched themselves...
Sakshi was aww struck watching him dancing... She smacked her head... He winked at her making her faint... He held her by hand and pulled her to him... She blinked making big eyes... He started jumping and swinging with her...
"Lagta hai Banagh peeliya hai..." She murmured... She looked at him, "Par baangh peeke normal lagta hai..." She also started dancing with him... They had lot of fun together...
Arjun stopped and so Sakshi... Everyone are swinging and grooving... Everyone is in their own world... Arjun and Sakshi stood looking into one another's eyes...
"Amo te..." Arjun said...
"What...???!!!" Sakshi questioned in confusion...
"Pata hai Amo te is Conundrum, iss conundrum se bahar nikal kar tumhe Amo te kehne ke liye itna daer lag gaya... Amo te Sakshi... Amo te..." He said holding her by shoulders...
"Kya bol rahe ho Arjun...??? Lagta hai Baangh zyada hogaya hai..." Sakshi said...
"Nahi... baangh zyada nahi hua hai... Sakshi Amo te..." He repeated...
"Amote..." She tried spelling again, "A mote..." She opened her mouth wide, "Mote.. mein moti hoon...???!!!" She questioned... Sakshi walked from there with puppy face...
"Sakshi...!!! Sakshi...!!!" He followed her...
***************************************
She stood with crossed hands when Aisha came there, "Kya hua Sakshi...???"
"Kuch nahi..." She said...
"Itna moody kyun ho...???" She questioned...
"Mein moti hoon...???" She counter questioned...
"Nahi... Bilkul nahi... Kis ne kaha...???" Aisha replied and enquired...
"Arjun... Arjun pagal hogaya hai... Kuch bhi keh raha hai..." She said in disappointment...
"Kya kaha Arjun ne...???" She questioned...
"Arjun ne kaha ki mein moti hoon... woh kuch keh raha tha, amm... ammu... Amo te is conundrum... Sakshi Amo te..." She said...
Aisha shook her head and smacked her head, "woh baangh piya hai ya tum...???"
"Kya hua...???"
"Sakshi tum idiot ho..." Aisha took pause looking at her confused face, "Conundrum ka synonym bata..."
"kyun...???"
"Bata toh sahi..."
"Conundrum ka synonym confusion hai..."
"Exactly... Aur Spanish mein Amo te ka matlab I Love You hota hai... abb Arjun ka kehne ka matlab samjho..." She said and left from there...
Sakshi remembered, "Arjun ne kaha 'Amo te is Conundrum', Amo te is I Love You and Conundrum is Confusion... matlab I love is Confusion... Arjun ne yeh bhi kaha hai ki 'But Sakshi Amo te'... Matlab But Sakshi I Love You..." A cheeky smile spread on her face, "Arjun ne mujhe I love You kaha..." She started jumping...
"Sakshi...!!!" Arjun came there...
Sakshi went and hugged him, "I Love You Arjun...!!!" She broke hug, "Hindi ya English mein nahi bol sakte te... Spanish kaha se milgaya tujhe... Kitni confused hogayi mein..." She hugged him and hugged her back, 'Yeh toh baangh peeke yeh sabb keh raha hai, baad mein bhulgaya toh...' She thought in his mid...
"Zyada matt socha, baangh ke nasha utarne ke baad bhi Amo te..." He said hugging her tight and she reprimanded...
