Part 8:-
Kaise batayein kyun tujhko chahe yaara bata na paaye
Baatein dilo ki dekho jo baagi aankhein tujhe samjhaye
Tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na
"Oh Chhavi kahan dhoondhu tumhe iss raat mein? Achanak se kahan chali gayi tum? Aaj to main itna khush tha ki aakhir itne dino baad tum meri life mein vapas aayi aur aaj hi yeh sab...fir se kismat ne hume juda kar diya...nahi...iss baar main aisa hone hi nahi doonga. "
Mil ke bhi hum na mile tum se na jaane kyun
Milon ke hai faasle tum se na jaane kyun
Anjaane hai silsale tum se na jaane kyun
Sapne hai palkon tale tum se na jaane kyun...
"Har baar aisa hi hota hai mere saath jab mujhe lagta hai ab sab kuch sahi hai aur mere according honewala hai achanak se aisa kuch ho jata hai ki I am back to square one." And he was back to thinking about the past. The days when she had stopped talking to him but soon it got better. It worsened again when he tried to warn her about Pracheen.
"Bus..." she was fuming again. It was one month after the incident on her birthday. Viraf was shocked to see her shouting at him but he thanked God in his heart that no one was around. "What is your problem?"
"I am sorry I don't get it."
"I mean why are you telling me about Pracheen every time?"
"Look Chhavi as a friend I am concerned about you. You know how much I care about you. I just don't want you to get entrapped by him. Everybody knows him."
"Am I a kid? Don't I have brains? Can't I recognize the people how they are?"
"Relax Chhavi. I am not saying that. I know you are a smart, independent and intelligent woman but sometimes where the mind keeps on saying it's wrong our heart doesn't accept it. I am just saying thinking about this point of view."
"Oh please...I know everyone is concerned about me, that's why everyone has a right on my life and they want to decide what I should do."
"Chhavi you are taking it wrong. Look I..." But she didn't let him complete. She cut him in between.
"Kahin tum bhi mujh se to pyaar nahi karne lage just the way Pracheen does?"
Kaise batayein kyun tujhko chahe yaara bata na paaye
Baatein dilo ki dekho jo baagi aankhein tujhe samjhaye
Tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na
This direct question shocked him. He was confused and didn't know what to say. 'Pata nahi Chhavi mujhe aaj kal khud hi samajh nahi aata ki kya ho gaya hai mujhe? Main aaj kal tum ko le kar itna possessive behave kyun kar raha hoon. I just don't know...' He was busy in his thoughts. He was struggling with himself.
Aaa...
Nigahon mein dekho meri jo hai bas gaya
Woh hai milta tumse hubahu
Ooo jaane teri aankhein thi ya baatein ki wajah
Hua tum jo dil ki aarzoo
"Bolo ab chup kyun ho?" she asked furiously but got no response as he was just staring at her like an idiot. "Agar tum ne aisa kabhi socha bhi hai to main ek baat clear karna chahti hoon ki mera koi bhi aisa irada nahi hai. I am here to make myself something. Main yeh pyaar vyaar k chakkar mein nahi padhna chahti." She cleared it. Something broke in him at that time when she said this to him.
Tum paas ho ke bhi tum aas ho ke bhi
Ehsaas ho ke bhi apne nahi aise hain
Humko gile tumse na jaane kyun
"Ek baar fir hum dono aaj kuch aise wajahon se alag ho rahe hain jab hum dono aisa nahi chahte hain. Chhavi tum ko wapas aana hi hoga." He was still searching for her here and there. The empty roads or semi empty roads are saying that she was not there. He came out from his car several times and checked a few places where she could possibly go but all went in vain. This was really making him worried about her. It was 12:30 am now and where could she go at this hour? Instantly a thought clicked in his mind and he drove to that place with a hope that he can find her there.
Milon ke hain faasle tum se na jaane kyun
Tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na
Tuuu jaane na jaane na jaane na... aaa tu jaane na...
He reached the place and it was the building of Chhavi's apartment. He parked the car and went inside the building but didn't find her car in the parking lot. He thought to inquire about it with the security guard.
"Excuse me."
"Yes sir..."
"Kya aap bata sakte hain ki flat number 209 me rehne waali Chhavi Pandey hain ya nahi?"
"Sir jee aap kaun? Aap toh kahin dekhe hue lagte hain." He tried to think about where he has seen him.
Viraf just smiled at it. "Mera naam Viraf Patel hai aur main uska friend hoon aur kuch urgent kaam tha mujhe us se."
"Oh aap ka naam to suna hai sir aap ka woh show tha na Ek Boond Ishq us ko dekha hai maine."
"Usi ki heroine ko dhoondh raha hai us show ka hero."
"Kya baat karte hain sahib aap ki show ki heroine yahi rehti hain na woh to apun ko pata hai par madam abhi tak wapas nahi aayi hain."
"Are you sure?"
"Sahab jee apun madamji ko bahut acche se pehchanta hai aur agar aayi hoti to yahin se andar car le kar jati na?"
"Haan yeh to hai." He said wondering where could she go at this hour of night. 'Kahan ho tum Chhavi?'
Khayalon mein lakhon baatein yun tu keh gaya
Bola kuch na tere samne
Ooo huye na begane bhi tum hoke haar ke
Dekho tum na mere hi bane
"Chhavi meri baat toh suno."
"Kya kehna chahte ho ab?"
"Please ek baar meri baat bhi sun lo na. Tum ko pata hai maine kuch bhi nahi kiya tha."
"Tum sab ladke kuch karte hi kahan ho sab ho jata hai na apne aap?"
"Chhavi look main tum ko batana chahta hoon bus yeh ki jaisa tum soch rahi ho aisa kuch bhi nahi hai."
"Kya nahi hai?"
He paused and taking a deep breath he continued, "I love you." And it shocked her.
Afsos hota hai dil bhi yeh rota hai
Sapne sanjota hai pagla hua soche yeh
Hum the mile tumse na jaane kyun
"Par maine kabhi tumhare liye aisa kuch feel hi nahi kiya." She said clearly.
"Par maine to kiya hai."
"Toh?" she said keeping her hands on her waist.
"Chhavi you know...hume humesha us insaan se hi shaadi karni chahiye jo hume pyaar karta ho."
"Shaadi?" she got one more shock.
Milon ke hain faasle tum se na jaane kyun
Anjaane hai silsile tum se na jaane kyun
Sapne hai Palkon tale tum se na jaane kyun
"Haan Chhavi na sirf pyaar par mai tumhe apni zindagi ka hissa banana chahta hoon." Chhavi was speechless. She just stared at him for some more time. "Kya hua Chhavi tum kuch bol kyun nahi rahi ho?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes I am."
"Par tum jaante ho ki I don't love you."
He just smiled, "Main bus ek hi baat janta hoon ki you love me as well bus tum ko abhi yeh feel nahi ho pa raha hai ya fir apne emotions ko samajh nahi pa rahi ho."
"Aisa kaise lagta hai tum ko?" she asked cutely.
"Bus mera dil kehta hai yeh."
Kaise batayein kyun tujhko chahe yaara bata na paaye
Baatein dilo ki dekho jo baagi aankhein tujhe samjhaye
"Pata nahi tumhara dil aisa kyun kehta hai par mujhe aisa kabhi nahi laga."
"Accha." And he pulled her towards him so that her face was facing him. "Just look into my eyes and say that."
"Kya?"
"Ki you don't love me." But the way she was not ready to even make eye contact with him gave him some signals.
Tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na
Tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na... tu jaane na
Somewhere a car was parked on the side of the sea and someone inside the car was crying hard thinking about what just happened. "I hate you Viraf...I so hate you... you always hurt me. I didn't expect this from you once again." She was lost in almost all the bad memories she had with Viraf whenever she had a normal high class fight with Saba because of him. Saba was a despo who always wants his attention and being sweet in nature he helped her almost every time.
"I don't know agar tum dono ke beech mein kuch tha to tum dono ne mujhe in sab mein hurt kyun kiya? I swear aaj ke baad se meri life se Viraf Patel ka chapter closed." She finally decided and drove somewhere not knowing where she should go at this hour of night. She just wanted someone beside her.
Back to Viraf:-
Chhavi was still in his arms and she said huskily, "I...I..."
A loud ringtone of his cell phone disturbed his beautiful dream. He got up immediately and checked the caller. It was Freddy.
"Hello.."
"Hain kahan tu?"
"Kahin nahi. Chhavi ke building ke bahar."
"Kab se call kar raha hoon tujhe phone kyun nahi utha raha tha."
"Kuch nahi yaar aakh lag gayi thi."
Taking a deep breath Freddy asked, "Baat huyi?"
"Baat hona bhool ja. Woh abhi tak ghar bhi wapas nahi aayi."
"What?" He was shocked.
"Wahi toh I am not getting where has she gone now at this hour of night?"
"It's really weird. Kahan jaa sakti hai woh?" He thought about it.
"I really don't know. She will be safe na?"
"She must be but first of all you come back."
"No way, main nahi aane wala wapas."
"Viraf it's really ridiculous. You know who you are and showing yourself as a love sick puppy is not good for your reputation you know.." He made him see the truth which he had forgotten for some time.
"I know Freddy but why do you forget that I am a human as well?"
"I know who you are but being a celeb it's not expected from us."
"To hell with it...aaj mujhe us se baat karni hai har haal mein."
Freddy took a deep breath and smiled, "Viraf...you are a sweet, matured and well-mannered boy of a good and high class family. Does this suit you and what if something happens and Chhavi again misunderstands you and the situation becomes more complicated now? As it is, you know how much she is angry with you right now. Ho sakta hai tum ko yahan aise dekh kar us ko aur gussa aa jaye aur usko lage teri aisi activities se woh badnam ho sakti hai."
It definitely struck his mind. "Tu sahi keh raha hai."
"Phir Viraf I am sure it's now 2:15 a.m. she is not back till now and I am sure aaj raat woh wapas nahi aayegi."
"Tu itna sure kaise hai?"
"I don't think ki she is unsafe and she is lost. I think now she has gone somewhere."
"As if kisi friend ke ghar pe?"
"Kya baat hai tujhe akal aa gayi?"
"Chup kar. Akal mere pass humesha se thi par..."
"Haan when it comes to Chhavi you just listen to your heart."
"Better."
"I know. So be back here and talk to her tomorrow. Just give her some time."
At Vinny's place at 12 a.m.:-
There was a knock at her door when she was sleeping. "Aa rahi hoon." She thought in her mind. "Itni raat mein kaun aa sakta hai." She opened the door and found Chhavi standing there.
"Chhavi..." She was shocked to see her at this hour of night. "Tu yahan, iss waqt?"
