Heart beat...Dil ki dhadkan...

A college reunion function...
Siddhanth entered the college...he remembered his college days...his friends.
His eyes got wet:Those days were so beautiful.Things became worst because of me.

Prem got down from his car and looked at the college building remembering the college days.He became emotional.
Prem:Wish I had approached life differently.Otherwise I would not have lost anything.

Simar entered the college painfully:Why did this happen with us?

Roli got down from her car and looked at the college buildingwith a weeping heart:This world is fake.I should have identified fakeness earlier.But i was a fool.

All four bumped into each other with a shock.
Before they could speak their Principal came near them.
Princi:I am happy that you are all are back...the members of the famous singing band 'Heartbeat'.You people were the heart beat of the college.When you guys left the college the college's heart stopped beating.I enquired about you all.I was shocked to know that Roli stopped singing.
Roli:Yes Sir.Because of singing only I lost everything.I work in a call centre.There I am so busy that I have no time for anything else.
Princi:And Prem..why did you stop singing?
Prem:I too lost everything because of music.So I got detached from singing.I am into family business now.
Princi:But as far as I know you are not interested in business.
Prem:But sometimes we are forced to do what we don't link to live our life.
Princi:Siddanth...you..?
Sid:I too left music Sir.
Sid said in his mind:I left music to punish myself for breaking Roli's heart.
Simar:I am still a part of a music troupe.But music does'nt give me any happiness now.
Princi:You all lived for music...breathed music.But left music for stupid reasons.Strange.I invited you all specially for the reunion function to tell you all to form the music band again..yes Heartbeats has to reproduced to perform for our college anniversary function.
They:But it's not possible.We can't be together again.
Princi:Though you all have passed out still I am your principal.Will you guys disobey me?Don't you have any responsibility towards your own college?Don't take any hasty decision.Think well and inform me your decision.

The Principal walked away.
Sid,Prem,Simar and Roli looked at each other.
Flash back...
Siddhanth,Prem,Simar and Roli were thick friends in college.They had a music band called 'Heartbeat'. Roli was a shy girl who was a beautiful singing and a sitar player.Simar was a smart bubbly girl who sings wells and plays piano beautifully.Prem and Siddhanth were not only great singers but great guitarists too.
'Heartbeat' performed on stage singing and playing instruments.
Kya main bataun
Tum yeh samajhoge shayad
Main paagal hoon

Chilla chillake main ye sabse keh dun
Rock on! Har lamha pukaara
Rock on! Yoon hi dekhta hai kya tu
Rock on! Zindagi milegi na dobara

Sab apne apne ghar ki khidki khole
Phir main aise joshile geet sunaau
Mere geeton ko sun kar sab yeh bhole
Rock on! Hai ye waqt ka ishaara
Rock on! Yoon hi dekhta hai kya tu
Rock on! Zindagi milegi na dobara

Meri toh hai bas yeh raay ki
Apne jitne bhi armaan hain poore karle tu

Rock on! Har lamha pukaara
Rock on! Yoon hi dekhta hai kya tu
Rock on! Zindagi milegi na dobara (x2)(Rock on).
They all were very happy.They reached back stage.
Prem:The show went well.
Simar:Yes..we rocked.
Sid:But we would have been better if Roli had performed better.

Roli looked at Sid with a gloomy face.

Simar:What did Roli do?Roli had performed well.

Sid:Roli...you are always nervous on stage.You are too shy and introvert to perform on stage.If you don't get rid of stage fear it will affect our music band.
Roli became upset.
Prem:Sid..you are over reacting.You have problem with Roli's shy nature.But don't say that it affects our band.Roli is the best singer we have.

Roli was relieved.
Sid:I know that you will support Roli.
Prem smiled.
Another day...
Prem was practising guitar.Simar looked at him with a sweet smile.Roli noticed it with a smile.
She thought:Guess Simar loves Prem.
Simar:Prem is so good at playing guitar.He looks stylish too with guitar in his hands.

Simar took his photograph secretly.
Simar:Prem..when will you understand my love?
Sid stood near Simar and asked her with a mischievous smile:Why can't you take your eyes off Prem?
Simar blushed.
Sid:When are you going to confess your love to Prem?
Simar was shy:On the last day of our college.
Sid:Cool.All the best.
Sid gave her a side hug.Simar smiled.
Roli was playing Sitar and singing.Prem was lost in her.He was staring at her without her knowledge.Sid noticed Prem staring at Roli.He went near Prem.
Sid:Prem...
Prem:So beautiful.
Sid:What?
Prem:Roli is so beautiful.
Sid:What?
Prem realized what he said and got embarrassed:I mean Roli's voice.
Sid:You tell me the truth Prem.You always support Roli.I have felt that you have soft corner for Roli.Now seeing you looking at Roli I feel that you consider Roli more than a friend.

Prem blushed:You are right Sid.I think I love Roli.
Sid was shocked.He remembered Simar's love for Prem.
Sid thought:Prem and Simar are my friends.But Simar is my dearest friend as she is my best friend since childhood.She is more like a sister to me.I can't see Simar in tears.If she comes to know that Prem loves Roli she will be heart broken.She should not lose her love because of Roli.I will not let it happen.
Roli was walking on the road.A small boy gave her a flower bouquet.
Roli:Why are you giving this to me?
He:One bhaiyya asked me to hand over this to you didi.
He ran away.
Roli:Who is that guy?
Roli walked.One lady gave her a flower bouquet:One guy told me to give you this.
Roli was stunned.
Roli:Aunty..please tell me who he is.But I know that he loves you very much.
She:I don't know.
She walked away.
Roli walked thinking:How will I know who is giving me this?Who is loving me secretly.
Suddenly she heard a voice from behind.
"Turn back and see who loves you secretly".
Roli turned back.She saw a guy whose face was covered with a flower bouquet.
He gave her the flower bouquet unveiling his face.Roli was shocked to see his face.It was Siddhanth.
Roli:Sid!You?
Sid:Yes Roli.I am the one who loved you secretly.But I decided to reveal my love to you.I can't hide my love anymore.
Roli could'nt believe it:But you always shouted at me...fought with me.

Roli:No Sid.I am not that type.I don't like this.
Sid became dull.He thought:This Roli is so shy and introvert that she can't even fall in love.Stupid girl.
Sid:Don't say like that.Don't break my heart.Please...

Roli walked away ignoring him.
Sid was adamant about making Roli fall in love with him.
Sid:No Roli.You can't just ignore me.You have to love me.Only then Prem will stop loving you as Prem will never love his best friend Siddhanth's beloved.Then Simar's path will be clear and she will get her Prem.
Siddhanth walked behind Roli with gifts daily.But Roli ignored him silently.
One day...
Siddhanth walked after Roli singing
Dil Keh Raha Hain Tujhse Yu Rishta Jod Lu
Teri Dhadkano Ko Chu Lu Tera Jism Odh Lu
Teri Dhadkano Ko Chu Lu Tera Jism Odh Lu
Dil Keh Raha Hain,
Dil Keh Raha Hain Tujhse Yu Rishta Jod Lu
Teri Dhadkano Ko Chu Lu Tera Jism Odh Lu
Teri Dhadkano Ko Chu Lu Tera Jism Odh Lu
Dil Keh Raha Hain Tujhse Yu Rishta Jod Lu
Teri Dhadkano Ko Chu Lu Tera Jism Odh Lu
Roli walked off ignoring him.

But Sid did'nt accept defeat.The next day too he walked after her singing.
Aankhon Mein Teri Hain Mera He Chehra
Chahe Tu Yeh Maane Ya Na Maane
Teri Mohabbat Pe Hain Mera Pehra
Chahe Tu Yeh Jaane Ya Na Jaane
Tere Liye Main Jaate Hue Lamho Ko Mod Lu
Teri Dhadkano Ko Chu Lu Tera Jism Odh Lu
Bechaini Ko Chain Tune Diya Hain
Bin Tere Mushkil Hain Reh Paana
Ho Paana Hain Tujhko Hain Yeh Tay Kar Liya Hain
Tu Hain Ishq Mera Jaane Jaana
Tere Labo Se Pyar Ki Kaliya Tod Lu
Teri Dhadkano Ko Chu Lu Tera Jism Odh Lu
Dil Keh Raha Hain Tujhse Yu Rishta Jod Lu
Teri Dhadkano Ko Chu Lu Tera Jism Odh Lu.(Kyonki).
Roli ignored him.Siddhanth pretended to faint:Roliii
Roli was shocked.She ran towards him and held him from falling.
Roli:Sid...open your eyes..are you ok?
Sid murmured:If I am ok or not how does it bother you?You don't love me.Right?
Roli was in tears:No Sid..I love you.
Suddenly Sid opened his eyes in excitement:What did you say?
Roli smiled tearfully:You are fine?
Sid:Hearing what you said I became fine.Tell me again what you said.
Roli blushed:I love you Sid.
He pulled her closer:I love you too roli.
She blushed.

Sid embraced her smiling.

Sid smirked saying in his mind:Now I have trapped you in my love.Now no one can stop Simar from getting her Prem.
Without knowing Sid's intention Roli felt safe in Sid's arms.
Sid Roli appeared before Prem Simar holding hands together.

Prem Simar found it strange.
Sid:We are here to say that Roli and I are a couple now.We are seeing each other.
Simar was surprised while Prem was shocked.
Prem:Is it true Roli?
Roli blushed:Yes we both are in a relationship.

Prem was shattered.Simar hugged Sid and Roli.
Simar:I am so happy for you guys.But still I can't believe that you both are lovers.Seeing the way Sid was fighting with Roli..it was an unexpected surprise.
Prem was faking a smile.

Sid Roli smiled.Prem walked away hiding his tears.Sid followed him.
Sid:Prem!
Prem:Sid...You could have told me before itself that you and Roli love each other.
Sid:I am sorry Prem.That day when you told me that you love Roli I did'nt want to reveal our love to you and break your heart.It was my mistake.Please forgive me.
Prem:It's ok Sid.I wish you and Roli the best.
Prem walked away.
Sid continued pretending to be in love with Roli.Once seeing rain puring down Roli got excited.
Roli:Wow..rain..
Sid:Rain is so musical.Perfect time to romance.
Roli blushed.
Sid held her hand and started dancing.
Yeh Saajish Hain Boondon Ki Koi Khwaahish Hain Chup Chup Si... (2)
Dekho Na Dekho Na... (2)
Hawa Kuchh Haule Haule Zubaan Se Kya Kuchh Bole
Kyon Duuri Hain Ab Darmayaan
Dekho Na Dekho Na... (2)

( Phir Na Hawayen Hogi Itani Besharam
Phir Na Dag Mag Dag Mag Honge Yeh Kadam... ) (2)
Haa Saawan Yeh Seedha Nahi Khufia Bada
Kuchh Toh Baraste Hue Keh Raha
Samjho Na... Samjho Na... (2)
Hawa Kuchh Haule Haule Zubaan Se Kya Kuchh Bole
Both were singing too.Sid forgot himself and embraced her passionately.Roli was lost in him.
Kyon Duuri Hain Ab Darmayaan
Dekho Na Dekho Na... (2)(Fanaa)
Suddenly Sid realized what he was doing and moved away.He thought:What is happening with me.Am I really falling in love with Roli?
Roli rested her head on Sid's shoulder while rain was still falling on them.
Sid was thinking of Roli the whole night.He smiled:While doing love drama with Roli I think I really fell in love with Roli.Oh my God!
Simar was dreaming of Prem.
Simar:I can't wait till the end of the college to confess my love to Prem.Tomorrow itself I will propose him.
The next day...
Simar knelt down before Prem with flower bouquet:I love you Prem.I have been loving you since a long time.Now I am opening my heart before you.Will you be with me forever?
Prem was shocked.
Prem:How could you do this Simar?I never thought that you will ruin our friendship by this stupid love.You betrayed our friendship by falling in love with me.
Simar was shocked.Her heart was wounded.Her eyes got wet.
Simar:Prem!I thought...I thought you too love me.
Prem:Never.I never saw you that way.In fact I was in love with Roli.But she loves only Sid.
Simar was shocked:You love Roli?
Prem was silent.He realized what he burst out in a moment of anger.
Simar:Ok fine.But Roli will never love you.
Prem:I know and I don't expect her to love me.I am happy that she is happy with Sid.
But i can't forget that you love me ruining our pure friendship.
Simar:Stop it Prem.Don't insult my love.If you can love Roli by forgetting Roli's friendship why can't I love you?Love just happens Prem.It is not in our hands.I never forgot our friendship while falling in love with you Prem.I respect our friendship.That's why I fell for you.How dare you say that my love ruined our friendship?You insulted me by insulting my love Prem.
Prem felt guilty:Simar...
Simar cried:Don't say anything.I realized that you don't even like to see my face.So I am leaving this college itself.So that we will never have to face each other.

Prem became upset:Simar...
Simar ran out crying.
Simar left the college.Siddhanth got angry and confronted Prem.He pulled Prem's collar of the shirt angrily:How dare you hurt Simar?Because of you only Simar's heart broke.Because of you only she left college.
Prem:I am sorry Sid.I did a mistake by overreacting.I was rude to Simar.I should have rejected her politely.
Sid:Rejected her?Why did you reject a nice girl like Simar?You know that Roli can never be yours.Still you rejected Simar.Why prem?What did I not do to unite you and Simar?Knowing that Roli will be an obstacle in Simar's love for you I faked love to Roli and made her my girl friend just to make you forget Roli and move on with Simar.Still you rejected Simar?
Prem was shocked:What?You faked love to Roli?
Sid realized what he revealed in a moment of frustration.Suddenly they both saw Roli standing there shocked.Her eyes were full of tears.Both were finding it difficult to face Roli.
Roli:My love for you was true Sid.But you broke my trust.You are so fake.

Sid became upset:Roli...please listen...
Roli:I don't want to hear anything.If it was some other girl in my place she would have slapped you knowing your betrayal.But i can't slap you as I love you sincerely.You can say that I am nervous or shy or whatever.But I am not strong enough to slap my lover.

Roli's tears rolled down her cheeks.Sid became upset.
Sid:I admit that I was faking love.But trust me Roli.In between unknowingly i fell in love with you.I really love you.I beg of you.Please believe me.

Roli:I don't want to hear anything Sid.I won't believe you again.I don't want to break my heart again believing you again.
Sid became upset.
Roli stared at Prem:I have seen love in Simar's eyes for you.You did'nt do right by hurting Simar who loves you truly.Atleast you should not have insulted you.
Prem became upset:Yes I admit.I was wrong.I am willing to correct my mistake.

Roli:What's the use of correcting your mistake now?It's too late now.You know...you both do not deserve love.Not worth enough..
Roli ran away crying.Prem and Sid were in tears.Roli stopped talking to Prem and Sid till the college got over.All the friends parted silently..without even biding good bye.
Present...
Prem,Siddhanth,Roli and Simar thought a lot about the Principal.
Simar:I think we should be grateful to our college and the Principal who supported us a lot.So we should obey him.

Prem:Yes right.We should sing together.

Sid:Yes for the anniversary function we should revive our musical band 'Heart beat'.

Roli:Yes..only for the anniversary function 'Heart beat' should be made alive.After the programme 'Heart beat' will be no more .

They all nodded painfully.
They informed the Principal about their decision and he was very happy.
All 4 of them practiced together for the function.
Anniversary function...
Prem,Sid,Roli,Simar appeared on stage.They sang together.
Gol Kyun Hai Zameen, Silk Mein Hai Narmi Kyun
Aag Mein Hai Garmi Kyun, Do Aur Do Paanch Kyun Nahi

Chand Do Kyun Nahi, Duniya Mein Hai Jung Kyun
Behta Laal Rang Kyun, Sarhadein Hain Kyun Har Kahin
Socha Hai... Yeh Tumne Kya Kabhi
Socha Hai... Ki Hain Yeh Kya Sabhi Socha Hai
Socha Nahi To Socho Abhi...

Barf Girti Hai Kyun, Dost Kyun Hain Roothte
Taare Kyun Hain Tuttey, Baadlon Mein Bijli Hai Kyun
Socha Hai... Yeh Tumne Kya Kabhi
Socha Hai... Ki Hain Yeh Kya Sabhi Socha Hai
Socha Nahi To Socho Abhi
Socha Hai Kya Kabhi, Hota Hai Yeh Kyun...
All were enjoying a lot.They were clapping and jumping shouting:Heart beat...Heart beat...cheer up Heart beat...
After the performance people were hugging and carrying 4 of them excitedly.
Back stage...
All 4 of them packed bags to go back.
Sid broke the silence between them.
Sid:Roli...did you decide to go back leaving our band?
Roli:Yes.We joined together only for this show and the show is over.Now why should we stick together?
Simar:There is no purpose for which we all should be together.

Prem:For the sake of friendship can't we keep our band 'Heart beat' ?

Simar:For which friendship Prem?Our friendship was broken years back.
Prem:Can't we be friends again?

Sid:Can't we forget our bitter past and start fresh?
All 4 of them looked at each other emotionally.
Prem:We all got separated because of me and Sid.But trust us.We realized our mistakes.
Sid:Can't you both give us one more chance?
Simar Roli were silent.
Prem:Simar...I hurt you.That day itself I wanted to say sorry 100 times to you.But without hearing it you just left.But now I am saying what i could'nt say that day.I am really sorry for that.Please forgive me Simar.
Simar looked at him tearfully:Prem!
Tum ho toh, gata hai dil
Tum nahin, toh geet kahan
Tum ho toh, hai sab hasil
Tum nahin, toh kya hai yahan
Tum ho toh hai, sapno ke jaisa hasin
Ek samaa
Prem:After you left me only I realized your value.My life became dark and dim without you.I really missed you.In your absense i realized how much I love you.

Simar could'nt believe it.
Jo tum ho toh, yeh lagtha hai
Ke mil gayi har khushi
Jo tum na ho, yeh lagtha hai
Ke har khushi mein hai kami
Sid held Roli's hand:Roli...please believe me.I really love you.All these years i lived like a stone without you.Please don't leave me again Roli.Please.
Roli's heart wept.
Tumko hai mangthi
Yeh zindagii...
Huuu...

Simar and Roli were silent.
Prem:We realized that you both cannot forgive us.

Sid:Let it be.May be we both do not deserve pardon from you both because of what we both did.So let us part our ways like before.
Prem Sid walked out.Roli and Simar burst into tears.
Prem and Sid reached near the college gate.Suddenly they heard a voice.
Roli:Sid!
Simar:Prem!
Prem and Sid turned back.Roli and Simar were smiling at them with tears in their eyes.
Oh ho oh ho oh ho ho ho ohh...
Oh ho oh ho oh ho ho ho ohh...
Oh ho oh ho oh ho ho ho ohh...
They ran towards Sid - Prem and embraced them.
All of them smiled emotionally.
Tum ho toh, rahein bhi hai (rahein bhi hai)
Tum nahin, (tum nahin) toh rastein kahan
(Ohh hooo..)
Roli:I still love you Sid.
Sid:I love you Roli.
Tum ho toh, (tum ho toh) yahan sab bhi hai
Tum nahin, toh kaun yahan (kaun yahan)
Tum ho toh hai, har ek pal meharban
Yeh jahan

Simar:I never stopped loving you Prem.
Jo tum ho tho, hawa mein bhi
Mohabaton ka raang hai

Prem:It's my luck that you did'nt stop loving me.I love you Simar.
Jo tum na ho, toh phir koi
Na josh na umang hai

They shared a romantic eye lock.
Tum mile toh mili
Yeh zindagii...iii...

The principal watched this with a smile.He clapped hands:Now the hearts have started beatinhg again in love.
They were shy.
Princi:Promise me that 'Heart beat' will never break.

They joined hands together and said:We swear...Heartbeat will always be together.We will never get separated again.
Oh ho oh ho oh ho ho ho ohh...
Oh ho oh ho oh ho ho ho ohh...(Rock on)
The principal showed thumbs up.
They smiled.
The End.
