"Off course I missed you..." realizing later what she just said, "I mean everything we shared on shoot."
But he got his answers what he wanted to know. "Accha laga varna mujhe laga you forgot me."
"Tujhe bhooloongi, the most dramatic person in the world."
"Lo ab actor hoon to itna drama to banta hai na?"
"Tum bhi na, you are hard to win over."
"But you can always defeat me." He said.
She sensed the conversation was going to another direction, "Accha bus bhi karo. Tum ko to mauka mila nahi aur ho gaye chaloo. Chalo ab batao kahan kahan ghoom rahe ho? Aur bhi kya kya dekha?"
They just don't know when half an hour passed on talking and it was an international call. "Hey Chhavi I think now it's very late for you so go and get some sleep now and I will catch you when I will be in India tab mai tum ko aur bhi detail me bataoonga ki kahan kahan gaya aur kya kya dekha?"
"Ya obviously as I have to take a birthday treat from you as well when you are back and don't forget my gift."
"Obviously not. Na tum ko bhool sakta hoon na hi tumhara gift." Chhavi smiled and both hung up the phone saying bye and take care to each other. Pyar to tum ko hai Chubby bus mujhe tum ko ye realize karwana hai ab.' He decided now. Next was his target to watch CBS Studio and he went their enjoying clicking his pictures. He was continuously receiving birthday wishes that day and thought to give his friends a thank you later.
Next day morning:-
Chhavi got up very late in morning and she had a big smile at her face when she got up remembering about last night and their sweet conversation and how she decided to call him to wish him on his birthday.
Flashback
Her memories broke when she heard the water boiling hard. Taking her coffee and sipping it she thought to check her twitter account. She opened her account and checked a lot of her and Viraf fans wished him on his birthday. oh today is Viraf's birthday. How can I forget it?' she was unhappy with herself. But why not me? Now a days I am not in touch with him and never talked to him from past seven months to it's obvious.' Closing her twitter account after checking Viraf's account she thought, Should I call him or should I post birthday wishes for him on his account?' she was highly confused. No I should not post anything on his account as it will create some buzz and after Pracheen I just don't want to link my name with anyone. I think I should call him...no...yes...' after thinking for at least fifteen minutes she decided to call him.
Flashback over
On 4th July:-
Viraf's pov:-
Finally I am coming back to India. I am so excited about many things. The whole place I explored in my visit and the thing which made me ecastic was Chhavi's reentry in my life. I don't know if I propose her again what will be her reaction but he should not hurry. I think now I should decide to take things slowly this time.
"Should I call him or not? Pata nahi she must be busy I should not disturb her. I think I should call her in evening." Later he checked her twitter account where he found the new pictures posted on her account. "So it's her new look for her new show hmmm interesting." He started thinking about her again when Freddy called him. "Kahan hai?"
"Ghar pe."
"Pehle mujhe ye bata kab party de raha hai mujhe."
"Haan de doonga.Kal hi to vapas aaya."
"Bata kab de raha hai?"
"When you say."
"I think in a few days I think after two days will be nice."
"Chal done."
"Pakka na?"
"Ya, chalo now I have to invite a few people as well so let me inform them."
Freddy smiled, "I don't know why but I can hear some special rhythm in your voice. Do you find someone?"
"No I just got someone back in my life."
"Who is she?"
"It's a surprise for you all."
"Is that Chhavi?"
Viraf was surprised how he got that very easily, "Tu bhi na, this the great disadvantage to have a bestie. He always know you so well that you can't even hide something from him. Now I can't even surprise you."
"Oho..my sweet friend." He teased, "I am sorry to know you so well. But now I'm happy for you."
In evening he decided to call her. He dialed her number and she picked it up after a few rings, "hey."
"Hey, how r u chubby?"
"I am fine Giraffe, so you are here in India back?"
"How do you know?" he asked.
Chhavi thought what to say as she has seen his post yesterday about coming back on twitter, "I just thought."
"Ya your thought is right I am here."
"So what did you bring for me?"
"You will get it on this Saturday don't worry."
"Why this Saturday?"
"Actually I am giving my birthday party on Saturday."
"That's cool and the place is?"
"My home."
"That's fantastic."
"So if you have any appointments pls do cancel it for me."
"I actually don't have much work on Saturday just a small photo shoot in afternoon where I have to reach in morning."
"That's fine than. It means you will be free by evening."
"Obviously."
"Make sure you have to be here otherwise I'm not going to cut the cake."
Chhavi laughed, "That's so childish. You are same naughty Viraf."
"Yes I am the same and you are the same Bak Bak Paandey, I will be waiting."
"Your wait will be fruitful."
On Saturday:-
Viraf's pov:-
It was very hectic day for me as all preparations of party I have to do that. My a few friends were helping me in that except Farhaan who was busy as it was his shoot for a movie and he already had said sorry to me for not being there with me in preparations. I smsed Chhavi for being there in party at right time and in response I got the msg "sure on time" with a smiley. After checking the last time arrangements it was now time to get ready for the party. I was getting ready for the party making my room hell as choosing a dress to impress her was making my gigantic. I have almost twenty dresses spread over my bed but still I was not convinced about what I should wear today. My mind told me, You are not going to meet her for the first time she know you so well and have always complimented you about your dressing sense.' But my heart told me, It should be a bit different that when her eyes fell over me all she should think about me.' I was in my thoughts when the door bell rang. I knew who could it be.
"Aa gaya tu?"
"Sorry yaar u know the shoot.." It was Farhaan.
"I know chal koi nahi." And again I started jiggling about what I should wear today.
"What the hell is this Viraf?" Farhaan was hell confused seeing my messy room.
"Kuch nahi," I said sheeplessly, " I was unable to choose a suitable dress for me."
"What?" he was now confused about my sudden change in behavior.
"What what? Yaar I was highly confused what should I wear today for the party."
"You are saying it?" he was unable to believe his ears.
"Why, can't I say it?"
"Now my friend Viraf can't say it. As he know very well whatever he choose to wear suits him and he looks just perfect in it. So why so confusion now?"
"It's not like this...actually...I don't know I am not sure what to wear this time."
Farhaan smiled, "Chhavi is coming in the party?" Viraf nodded. "Oho that's why you are confused na?" Viraf ignored to answer. "Tu bhi na, see if you love her and same is with her than it doesn't matter what you wear she will always love you like that."
"Yaar I am not sure whether she loves me or not."
"Give her some time you will come to know."
At Chhavi's place:-
She came almost rushing to her home to get change and be ready for Viraf's party. Bahut late ho gaya mujhee now what should I do not much time is left.' She was also confused like Viraf and it was hard to choose a suitable dress when her phone rang. Unmindfully she picked it without seeing the caller's name.
"Hello."
"Hey sweetheart how r u?"
"Tum?" she shouted over phone.
"Kahan ho aaj kal and y r u shouting so much?"
"Tum ne jo kiya us k baad do you still feel I should behave nicely with you and how dare you to call me?" she asked agitated.
"I was missing you." He said.
"Miss me my foot...and don't you dare to talk or call me." Saying this she hung the phone. Her mood was got spoiled totally. "I should relax. I can't go with such bad mood in his party. It will not be good. Relax Chhavi, you are a celebrity and you know how to handle your mood and paste a smile on your face." And she again got busy in getting ready.
This was hundredth time when Viraf gave a glance to his watch. "Why are you checking your watch regularly?" This was Vahbbiz who asked her about his behavior as she was already in the party on time. His one more good friend Kashmeera couldn't attend the shoot because of her show Manmarziyaan's shoot and she has already called him to say sorry.
"No yaar nothing like that."
"Don't lie I saw you checking your watch many times after I came in to the party."
He knows there is no need to lie any more. "Actually I am waiting for one of my friend."
"Almost everyone is here na? I think just Sodhi jee is not here na?" she asked again.
"Tu ab bus kar kabhi kabhi lagta hai tum sab CBI officers ban jate ho mere liye."
She found something fishy," I am sure that someone special hai naaa...?" she inquired.
"No yaar...nothing like that."
" I am not interrogating you..but I am sure that there is something fishy."
"Shut up nothing is fishy."
"Beta tum chupa nahi paaoge but I will keep an eye over you to check which special guest will be able to make you smile."
"Hum bhi jaana chahte hain kaun hai vo khaas insaan." Freddy joined purposely to play along.
"Now you don't start too pls." but both got united and keep on pulling his leg and he was getting irritated but his eyes were got glued to the entrance. After a few minutes he saw someone entering from that and was searching for someone. When his eyes fell over her, he was surprised. She was looking extremely beautiful in that pink halter neck knee length dress. He was just mesmerized to see her like this. It was not that he has not seen her like this but it was almost ten months he saw her in front of her. He was just busy praising her beauty in his mind when Freddy noticed him not responding at his joke and he looked in to that direction where he was staring.
He smiled to see him lost like this in her. He hit his elbow and it brought Viraf back on earth. "Go and attend her as she doesn't know anyone here."
"Who?" Vahbbiz asked.
"See that side." Freddy indicated her in that direction and she found Chhavi there. "She is Chhavi na...Chhavi Pandey, Viraf's ex co star."
"Yes." But before Vahbbiz could ask anything to Viraf was gone to her.
Viraf and Chhavi here met after a long time and both were got numb and speechless facing each other after a long time. A few minutes passed they were standing there speechless. Kya boloon samajh nahi aa raha hai.'Chhavi thought.
Lag raha hai ek jamana hua tum se mile Chhavi, par tum abhi bhi vaise hi ho jaise pehle thi. You are killing me and mujhe samajh nahi aa raha hai ki what should I do...' Viraf thought.
Kya kahoon samajh hi nahi aa raha hai? Itne din baad mile hain hum dono. Phone pe baat karna is much more easier than facing him face to face.' Chhavi thought.
Ye sab itna odd kyoun lag raha hai samajh nahi aa raha hai.' He paused. Should I start the conversation?' Viraf thought.
Are at least hi to bolna hi chahiye na.' Chhavi thought.
"Hi." Both said in union and then smiled.
