yash changed his dress and come to the drawing room to spend some time with his mother. He put his head on gayetri's lap, "maa, this time match will be more interesting."

gayetri caressed his hair, "i could understand that from long time. So how was your practice?"

yash: I dont have word maa, something like i never expected and may be it was the best.

gayetri: Hmm, you didnt say the girl's name yet.

yash looked at his mother's smiling face, "maa, nothig like that which you thinking."

gayetri: And how can you say what i am thinking if the same thing is not going on in your mind?

yash couldnt answer as aarti's name flash in his phone, gayetri looked at the phone, "may be she also is thinking the same,",, She teased her son.

"maa, you are too much." He picked the call.

"You reached home?" Aarti askes from another side.

yash: Yeah, long back.

Aarti bite her lip as she didnt know what more to ask, "umm, so what are you doing?"

"waiting for a cup of tea."

aarti: But you had coffee sometime back in my place.

yash: And who said i cant take tea after that? Its already more than 2 hours. Abd this is maa special masala tea. I cant miss it. She is superb. Infact you also should taste it. You'll remember lifetime.

aarti: Really?? I have to do that then. And maa and di was so happy to meet you. Even muskan also mingled with you easily na? I think you like kids,

yash: Yes, i love them. And i am also happy to see them, they are really so sweet. Now i could understand from where you get this sweetness.

he heard gayetri coughing, but it was for teasing him. He forget that his mother is around, "ok aarti, i'll call you latter. Maa is calling.

he hang up and looked at gayetri who still smiling, "so my son learn flirting also, but see here and there, your maa is here."

yash tried hard to act normal when she said again, "by the way what need to buttering me saying about tea?You can bring her here anytime."

Yash felt embarrased in his mother's question, "how you understand everything so easily maa?"

Gayetri: because I am your mother.. hmm so you went to her place? "

Yash: yeah you know maa today she said me everything about her. And she was relaxed after saying everything.

Gayetri: and did you say about yourself? Everything?

Yash kept quite, then said, "what need maa? I was never serious. And how you thinking our relationship is not like that.

Gayetri: why don't need? Yash, when you will learn to express your feelings? And mostly when you'll learn what your heart actually want? Then also you were confused. But now i can completely undersatnd, i can see that you love aarti, but still dont want to accept."

yash still kept quite, "i'll think about it maa, but now really want your masala tea"

gayetri got up, "okay, but dont delay much."

yash rested his back on his chair in his room. He was thinking about what his mother said, is he really fall for aarti? Did she also think the same. Today she said everything to him, like a open book. Then he also should say about him. From her this revelation, he remembered one incident of collage with her.

Collage:

yash's exam finished 15 days back. In between he come to collage with some excuse as aarti's semester didnt finish yet. And unfortunately he couldnt meet aarti. All he wanted to wish her best of luck. On the last day of exam he come early with the hope to meet him.

at last he found her standing in a corner of empty corridor..

"he aarti, how are you?",, He went beside her.

aarti was surprised to see him as she know his exam finished and no class also there, "i am good, what about you? And how you here now? Your exam finished right?"

"yeah, i come here for some work, going from here so saw you.", He lied

aarti looked here and there. "It is most silent place of collage, no one come here for work then how he is here?", She thought

yash: So, how your exam going on?

aarti: It was good. But dont know about today",, She sounds tensed

Yash: Why? How was your preparation?

aarti: Faltu yash. Too bad. I'll definitely fail in this paper.

"hey, dont think like that aarti. You studied whole year right? And its your last exam, be positive. You'll definitely get good marks." Yash assured her but noticed her restlessness. He found her pale and weak than before. He thought its common at exam time, "are you okay aarti?", He asked.

"yeah", She said but was feeling dizzy, held her head with one head. She was about to collapse when yash hold her in his arms. Yash panicked to see aarti like this, he patted her cheek, begged to open eyes, but her eyes close. Yash felt helpless, no one around. That was really silent place. He feared, he wanted to scream for help. He plead her again when aarti murmured, "there was water bottle in my bag"

her voice was so low, but yash felt relaxed. He somehow managed to bring out the bottle. After drinking some water she felt better, "thank you", She whispered. But she couldnt stand, take support to clutch yash's arm tightly ,"yash, my exam will start"

yash: Aarti relax, please dont think those now.

not getting any other chance he carried her. Aarti closed her eyes feeling the closeness. There was a bench a bit far in the corridor, he took her there, Made her sit.. "aarti do you want to lie down? Then i can take you to girls common room"

aarti nodded in no.

"will i call someone? Some girl? Mansi is not here, shall i call pritha?" he was not getting peace.

aarti said no again.

after a few minutes she opened eyes, felt better, "what is the time now?"

yash: You still have 40 minutes foe exam. But before that say me what is all these? Definitely you didnt take your breakfast today.??"

"no no, i take my breakfast", She managed to say

"dont lie aarti. I know you dont like to take breakfast. And in this tension you get golden chance to skip your breakfast. Why are you taking this much tension about exam? Look at you, you face changed. He kept scolding her, "and now i am going to bring sone food from canteen and you will eat without any question", He almost ordered.

he was about to go when aarti stopped him holding his hand, "please yash you dont panic. After that i take my breakfast everyday, as i know people work for food, Today also i ate before coming, I am saying the truth trust me. In this year i become habited not to skip breakfast anyhow", She smiled remembering the past thing.

yash sat beside her, "then how all these happened?"

"actually i was having fever from last few days, because of weather changing. The strong medicines and this exam pressure made me weak. Nothing else." She lied about this. "i'll be all right in few minutes",

"are you sure?", Yash still was not satisfied.

"yes. Can you please sit sometime here so that i wont able to take tension about exam?"

for then yash did so but he didnt go from collage. He even requested the in charge to allow aarti write exam in Different place alone, so that she can write peacefully and he waited for her.

she come out from collage, "how are you feeling now?"

aarti: You should ask me how was my exam?

yash: I asked that which was important for me

aarti found some possessiveness in him.. She cant deny that inside her heart she was so happy to see his this caring side of him for her, "i am okay now, my exam also was not that bad how i expected, it was good. And thank you very much yash. You were there for me at that time"

he smiled, "please do not mention that"

after a few minutes of silence in auto yash said, "aarti, will you please come tomorrow if you feel good?"

aarti looked at him, "why? All exams finish now, what need to come to collage?

"no, not in collage. Its strange that i am inviting you in the party which my friends keep for me, thats also surprise fairwell party, but i come to know everything. And i want you also be there."

"fairwell party? Why? " she was surprised.

yash could understand that aarti dont know anything, "i am going to london for studies. Next two year i will have to be there. So all my friends decided to throw a party for me. May be mansi will say you, but its all right if i am asking to come you, isnt it?"

aarti looked at him strangely, she couldnt believe in her ears. She didnt know why she felt this much bad. She couldnt utter a word, somehow aarti looked away to stop her tears, "oh, so when you are going?" She asked but didnt look at him

yash felt something unexpected happened, "the day after tomorrow."

the rest of the journey was silent again. After coming to the destination aarti got down from auto. She was going when yash asked, "aarti, will you come tomorrow please?"

she stopped and asked, "where i have to come?"

*************************************************************************************

"you know it is my favourite colour?" Yash said slowly looking at her.

she smiled, "yes, i know."

"can i say a secret to you?, You looking really beautiful in this colour"

"matlab, i dont look good always?" She pouted.

oops, i didnt mean that. I mean you looking extra beautiful", he winked.

aarti blushed, but kept looking at him. The strom again come to his heart, something he felt, saw her coming close to him, "yash, can i say something? You know i wear this colour because i knew its your favorite"

"why?"

Na tu batayein na main kahoo jo teri meri dil ki hai tamanna

Meri hai tamanna meri bane tu, tujhko bhi hai bas mera banna

Janke bhi anjan hai kaisi hai yeh kahani, ho na kyon hayrani?

Jo pyase hai kyon peete nehi paani?

Hum jab mil gaye hai toh kya yeh faasle hai, paas aakar bhi hum kuchh door se hai.

Kyun jhijhke se hai dono, najane kyon hum majboor se hai..

he looking at her with surprise,

"cant you still understand?" Aarti was disappointed. "i love you stupid."

he couldnt blink his eyes, is that true which he listing?

"yash, yash",, He startled from his sleep looked at gayetri, "wont you take you dinner? Sleeping at this time?, Come fast." she left.

yash nodded in confussion. It takes a little time for him to understand that was dream. He become upset to that was a dream, "i wish the dream to complete and be real. I love you too aarti."

******************************************************************************************

aman sat on the sofa lazily, "what need to plan all these today? My back is paining for yesterday's match"

yash: Aarti intentionally planned it today aman. We get one day off for rest. Latter we wont get this chance.

"yes, and mansi and tanmay will go in this week. Where is the time?" Aarti said while placing the tray of tea on the table.

Yash, Aman, Mansi and her husband Tanmay come to aarti's place for lunch. Anjali and sobha wanted to meet them. Aarti served tea to everyone, "nice to meet you Tanmay, and thank you for coming."

Aarti: my pleasure aarti. I heard about you many times, and finally we are meeting.

Aarti: I am glad than Mansi find a life partner like you.

"you are glad aarti? I feel pity on him. Dont know what god kept in his fate. And Tanmay from which angle you liked her? You have to bear it lifetime." Yash said.

Before Tanmay could answer Mansi threw a pilow towards yash, "Yash you shameless. How can you say like this about your friend? Dont forget i helped you in many things."

Yash: When i said you didnt help me? I am asking your husband that where was his brain when he met you?

"i wont spare you yash." mansi was about to get up but aarti stopped her,"let it be Mansi."

"And why you are saving him from me?"Mansi didnt leave the chance to tease them.

"are Aarti why you stopped her? i always enjoy their fight."Tanmay sounds dissapointef.

Aman: Because she dont want her house to be mess, as you know what will happen if Mansi start.

Tanmay: Who else can know better than me?

Mansi gave angry glance to her husband, "Dont forget at the end of the day you have to be with me only."

they all laughed loudly. "leave all those. Mansi dear forgive your poor hubby. And aarti say me did you enjoy the match?" aman asked.

"yes, very much. It was so much fun."

Yash: And you didnt want to participate? If you would not then may miss all these. By the way, where is others?

Aarti: maa had to go to market for some work, muskan is sleeping and di is in kitchen.

Suddenly Tanmay changed the topic, "yash, what about amrita? How is she?"

Yash was stunned by this sudden question, he couldn't find what to answer, he looked at aarti, could see question in her eyes, "I don't know tanmay", he replied.

Tanmay: why so? After all she is your girlfriend, as per I know your families also was talking about your engagement right? What happened then?

so what will be next,

what will be Aarti's reaction?

Whats more store in past?
