Part 1

Eklavya

Eklavya was hurting so badly with his bruised self confidence. He had nobody and was in a turmoil with his family that had turned on him. Was it his fault he looked like the spitting image of his father? He couldn't undo what his father had done to Nandini Mom and nor could he undo all the wrong that his family had done to him. He had nightmares of the time he'd spent in prison but that wasb't what hurt him the most it was what his grandmothers words that killed him inside the woman he devoted his life to. U R your fathers son. U R Ansh those exact words haunted him over and over. He had them even when he was awake. He felt like the loneliest person in a crowd full of people. Yes his Grandmother accepted him back along with some family members but he couldn't stand the stares he got from his family of suspicion. Despite being proven innocent thoses feelings didn't disappear as he felt like his soul had gone away and all that was left was a lifeless body. Empty. His former self but a shadow. He was confused as to how he felt inside every emotion was overwhelming. To make matters worse KT was getting married to Laksh that too with his blessing. How much his heart hurt? He couldn't take it. Never had he felt so weak. He kept questioning himself why couldn't he get over it?

Ranbir

Ranbir Nanda had heard of what happened to his friend Eklavya as he was a fellow business partner and one guy he failed to turn to the dark side. His motto was live fast with expense, women, party hard and work hard. His friend Eklavya was the opposite to him. He still had problems winning over his lady love KT who had done the worst thing ever possible to a guy and her friend disgusted him Kanya was her name. He'd only heard about this now as he'd been away on business that Eklavya couldn't attend. Ranbir wanted to show Eklavya how to exact revenge and try to make him tough. Ranbir couldn't stand being taken for a ride and he sure as hell wasn't going to let anyone do the same to his friend. He was to surprise his friend Eklavya today and on his way there.

Meeting of Ranbir and Eklavya

Ranbir went to Shantiniketan. He was welcomed there by the members of the Virani household. It was the first time he'd seen the place and it was just like his Mansion. They had a lot of members in their family just like his. He could spot all the women immediately and was already turned off by their dress sense. They were all dressed like Indians they weren't modern like his family were. Fine his Mom and Big D were into their asian attire but here the young generation were overdressed. Well he wasn't here to mess about he was here to fix his friends broken self-esteem and do some real damage to those that hurt him but he had his principles he'd never hurt elders. It wasn't done but the youngsters this should be fun. Everyone introduces themselves. Eklavya came down to greet his friend and had a little smile.

R-Is that a real smile or a fake one bro? Chin up. I'm here now and will make everything ok.

E-Hi bro! This is a surprise!

R-R U going to invite me up or am i to stay here.

E-Sorry come on.

They go up somewhere private to discuss what is going on with Eklavya.

R-So bro spill.

E-What?

R-Why U look like somebody's run U over with a truck?

E-Being accused of something i didn't do. The one person i love is to become someone else's. All these emotions waiting to burst out but having a hard time to let them out in case i really hurt somebody. Need i say more?

R-Eklavya this is why i'm here. U R my best friend and anyone that hurts U hurts me. Let everything out. Don't care about anyone or anything. Being bad is in. Look at me i have no tension. I tread on anyone i want not caring is the way to go. Your so called family hurt U hurt them back. Your love is gone let her there are thousands more out there. U can have your pick. Women come and they go its not the end of the world. Its time U ended being good and start being bad. Have U achieved anything being good? No. So change yourself.

E-Laksh is getting somewhere he has everything. I want KT despite what happened i still love her.

R-Laksh is a mummy's boy so bland. U tried being good now try being bad and see how far U go. With me by your side nobody can stop U. As for KT Then marry her make her yours.

E-How can i she's getting married tomorrow.

R-Simple trick her into it while i will keep Laksh busy. Both won't know what hit them.

E-But thats not right!

R-If need be we can get someone to help us i met Vaidehi and she is crazy about Laksh and he is supposed to be a noble guy right i'll make sure those 2 get together.

E-How do U know Vaidehi?

R-Trust me in my line of things U know everyone. Besides she's one of my conquests being rich sure has its advantages.

E-I don't want any details thank U.

R-So we all set.

E-U really have this all worked out. One day bro U will meet your match.

R-R U supposed to be my friend or my enemy. Stop cursing ok. No woman has been born that can take Ranbir Nanda on. I'm a ladies man i love them and leave them not one woman can take me on.

E-Whatever U say bro but i'm glad u came. Definitely showed me how to move past all my problems.

R-Thats what friendship is all about.

E-This time tomorrow KT will be all mine.

R-Yup and Laksh won't know what hit him. I almost feel sorry for the guy. He deserves all he gets. Vaidehi is one person no guy wants in their life.

E-I can't wait!

R-Well bro U need to treat them mean to keep them keen. She's a sati savitri type of girl right?

E-Yep!

R-Then treat her badly U will see she will try to win U over just be nice for a couple of days will do the trick.

Enjoy

okay i wil read it when i get time okie

Part 2

Recap-Eklavya was busy in his sorrow until his best friend Ranbir Nanda came to show him the ways of life. Placing everything into its place the big bang was to take place the next day.

Eklavya for the first time sleeps well considering his endless nights of nightmares. He still had them but it wasn't as bad. He tried to convince Ranbir to stay over in Shantiniketan but didn't want to impose on anyone so ended up staying in some nearby Hotel that he owned. Eklavya tried hard to avoid KT but it was hard as she kept on going out of her way to speak to him. Apologizing for the past and her mistakes. The damage was done so there was no turning back. Why did he have to still have feelings for this woman? It was a mix of hate and love both rolled into one. He tried so hard to shake it but to no effect. He was doomed. Eklavya felt guilty at the same too with their sly act they were to do. Tricking was against Eklavya's morals but he didn't want KT and Laksh to ever be together. Not in this life or any other. If he couldn't get his love then both will have to suffer just like he is to make them see what its like to lose love. He'd already sacrificed his loved twice before but not anymore.

KT looked at Eklavya he looked much better than yesterday. Looks like his friend Ranbir had cheered him up but he was still troubled that she could tell. She prayed his pain would heal with time. No matter what happened in the past he was still her friend one that she hurt very badly. She just wished he'd find peace with himself and with the rest of the world. She'd observed how distant he was with his family. He even stayed clear from his own sister Bhumi as he didn't know what to feel inside. KT tried not thinking about Eklavya and just think today was her wedding to Laksh the best day of her life thats who she was to have in her mind.

KT-Eklavya U look good today. R U ok with all this?

E-Tumhe kya? Whats it to U if i live or die? Just leave me alone.

KT-I didn't mean it like that its just i know U have feelings for me. This must be painful for U.

E-Tum kush ho?

KT-Yes! [looking worried]

E-Then thats all that counts. Now if U don't mind i have important business to attend.

KT-Eklavya todays my wedding. U have to be here.

E-What am i the groom? No so my presence is of no importance to U at your big day. Why ruin it with my misfortunes it will only bring U down.

KT-Have U forgotten whats happened to me. This is all in the past. U have to stay. I know we haven't seen eye to eye but U R my best friend at least stay.

E-Maybe later to take part in the wedding. [grins and leaves]

KT looked puzzled at what Eklavya meant by all this. She didn't have time to dwell on all this she had to get ready. Bhoomi was there she just wished they were friends but no such luck. Its a good job her friend Kanya was arriving today they lived in Mumbai but became good friends when KT went to eat at this grand restaurant for a date with Laksh and Kanya was the waitress there she also worked at a Hotel part-time to make ends meet. Over the years they'd made a strong friendship. Kanya was overprotective of her ever since that nightmare occurred. KT went to do Pooja at the Mandir and prayed to Krishna that may her love and this day go to plan and be blessed with the love of the man with a pure heart is hers. Laksh meant everything. KT ran back upstairs where Laksh was about to come out. KT knew it was Laksh just by his footsteps.

KT-Laksh stay where U R?

L-Why?

KT-Its bad luck otherwise don't U get it?

L-U R my luck KT and nothings going to stop me looking at U today.

KT-Thats fine but see me at the wedding not now.

L-KT all the bad luck has past us now what can go wrong?

KT-Don't tempt fate!

L-I'm not. Atleast say U love me.

KT-Laksh i don't know why but i have a bad feeling. Eklavya was nice today. Everything is going right but i have this fear that something bad will happen.

Laksh comes out of hiding and hold KT in a warm embrace. KT hugs him back.

KT-U shouldn't have come out Laksh now something will definitely go wrong.

L-If U keep having negative thoughts then its inviting bad vibes. KT do U have faith in me?

KT-More than my own life.

L-Thats all i need and u will see this time tonight U and I will be one. Now go up and get ready. I will be back in a bit. I have a surprise for U.

KT-Come back soon ok.

Ranbir

I better hurry up Eklavya must be coming on his way soon. Ranbir gets out of the elevator dressed in his typical day wear jeans and a tight fitted T-shirt he hurries past the corridor and enters the hotel dining area just for a quick coffee normally he woke up early but Mumbai had the ladies and he got a little overfriendly with one of them that night. Shame he couldn't remember who she was. Ranbir turned abruptly bumping into Kanya who had glasses full of alcoholic drinks all over Ranbir. He went red with anger. He didn't have time to change. He smelt like a bar. His T-shirt soaking wet. Kanya looked at the guy with a fear for losing her job. This job paid more than her restaurant work. She couldn't afford to get fired.

K-I'm so sorry sir! Sorry![She gets her cloth and tries to clean him up]

R-I think this will be enough Miss Clutz. Who employed this girl? Don't U have a steady hand or has old age got to U. only the best work here.

K-Sir please sir i'm really sorry I didn't do this on purpose. [still cleaning Ranbir up]

R-Fine woman all the same never do a job correctly. Can U stop feeling me up? I know i'm too hot to handle doesn't mean U have the right to touch me. Who knows where you've been. Now i have to take a bath 7 times. U R fired Miss.

K-Sir please it was an easy mistake. Won't happen again. Please don't complain to the manager.

R-Too right it won't happen again. If U aren't working here then there's no more accidents to happen. Good day to bad rubbish. Have U even been educated in this field of work?

K-U can't fire me its up to the boss. U stuck up wannabe rich boy. Who do U think U R? Just because Daddy's been paying for your extra curricular activities doesn't mean U can trample on people. I've seen the likes of U all the same. Kicking a person when they R down. Go complain to the manager he will take my side. U turned out of nowhere not me. Mistake was yours not mine.

R-Is that so? U do know who i am?

K-I don't give a second thought on the likes of U arrogant spoilt brats who have nothing better to do. Never done a hard days work. U make me sick.

R-Mr Dilip what kind of a place R U running here? I want good mannered educated people in a classy Hotel like this not homeless people with an attitude. Is this a Hotel or a circus. This imbecile just had the nerve to take on Me. The scandals if people were to see this in my own Hotel. I want her out now.

Mr D-Sorry Kanya U will have to take your leave. Do U know who U R up against?

K-Sir i've been a good worker on time he just......

Mr D-Ranbir Nanda the owner of this place and all the other chains out there along with malls and franchises linked with foreign countries.

K-Mr Nanda i'm sorry i didn't know if i did...

R-Yeah yeah U wouldn't have dared. Too bad U R a feisty little something. If U were prettier than U would have been forgiven but U crossed my limits. Ranbir doesn't take kindly to insults and your luck just ran out goodbye. Mr Dilip if U ever employ trash like that then U will be fired too got that clear. Our business has an image got it. [Dilip nods in fear]

K-Well U can stick your job. U must have made your millions through slave labour. If i ever see U again i will slap U across your face just for talking to me and Mr Dilip like that. U have no etiquette or morals. How to speak to people. Goodbye Mr Nanda and hope U have a hell of a day.

Kanya storms out of the place bumping into Eklavya. She is on the verge of tears holding them back from Ranbir. She looks at Eklavya and gives a faint smile.

E-Kanya R U ok?

K-What does it look like Eklavya that monster just fired me for spilling drinks on him.

E-Who?

K-Ranbir Nanda! I hate that name, his voice and his ugly face.

E-Kanya let me talk some sense into him. He's hot headed just give him some time. Now wipe your eyes he's not worth getting upset over. He's brash but inside he's a nice guy.

K-Eklavya U going to the wedding?

E-KT won't have it anyother way. Things will be ok with work i will make sure Hate guru Ranbir gives your job back. U will get there now right she's waiting for U.

K-Don't have this job so will be early. I don't know if i ever want to work for an ogre like him. See U later Eklavya. Please don't tell him about me being upset.

E-I won't!

Eklavya goes inside the Nanda Hotel and see's a livid Ranbir going berserk constantly cursing. Poor Kanya what must he have said in the heat of the moment. Ranbir looks at his friend and cooled down a little.

R-This is what U get for employing these low class people. If i'd have known she would have been fired a long time ago.

E-U R too mean Ranbir U made her so mad she will be out for murder. U shouldn't have been so mean. She's a person too and a friend of KT's.

R-Well this spices up things.

E-What's going on in that brain of yours?

R-U will see my friend i have a score to settle with her and she has to pay.

E-No way R U doing anything to her its not on.

R-Where's my bad boy? Stop being so good all the time. Follow my suit ok U don't have to be full evil just enough that u have a thick skin. Laksh sure won't know whats hit him. Vaidehi is coming into play. She's on deck bro and let the games begin. I already told Laksh to get KT something special and will make sure he never ends up at the wedding. Vaidehi still thinks that i'll be hers i'm nobody's.

E-U won't hurt him Ranbir? This sounds too wrong.

R-He will get hurt but not physically. Just enjoy the ride. Get rid of your conscience leave everything to me. After i get changed that is.

Part 3

Recap-Kt and Eklavya have a little chat before her big day. Laksh see's KT before the wedding with KT fretting over the bad omen. At the Nanda hotel Ranbir and Kanya clash over her spilling drinks on him leading to a war of word and Kanya being fired. Eklavya and Ranbir cook up a plan involving Vaidehi.

Laksh goes to get KT her surprise gift when he bumps into Vaidehi in this jewellery shop. They both see each other and Laksh wanting the advice of Vaidehi as They were friends. Vaidehi see's her chance to do her worst with Laksh. She was only doing this for Ranbir as she wanted him to be hers for good plus he had the money she so craved in life. More so for her it was love. For that she'd stoop to anything. Besides Laksh wasn't her type was Ranbir was rough and such a bad boy. She remembered all her times with him they were a little too racy but those were good times. As both spent less time talking to the other. She just wished he was the marrying type.

V-Laksh U here? Its ur wedding day.

L-I know i just wanted to gift KT with a present U know Ranbir suggested it to me yesterday and i thought he was right. I can't afford much but it will be worth it to see her face.

V-U have your wedding outfit on!

L-I know but just in case i'm running late which won't be the case as i'm ready and just need to find the gift. Will U hep me choose?

V- Yeah sure! [with a smirk on her face thinking this guy has no idea what he's about to get himself into. As planned ranbir had already told Vaidehi of Laskh's whereabouts]

Both look at this gorgeous necklace which was stunning and had KT written all over it. Vaidehi chose something for herself. They both go outside when Vaidehi gets mugged Laksh goes to her rescue being his noble self he beats up the gundas by himself retrieving the jewellery. Vaidehi is shaken by all this[all pretend].

L-Will U be ok?

V-Please can U stay with me a while.

L-Only 30 minutes thats all i can spare.

They both go to Vaidehi's house where Vaidehi offers Lalsh a drink with intoxicated powder which makes Laksh see double. Ranbir is there and so R a few other people where everything is decorated as if there were to be a wedding. They do the whole wedding thing ceremony with Tripti there cheering on the chaos that is about to befall on the Virani's. Tripti already had plans for Vaidehi. The whole event was camcorded with Laksh smiling away at the camera as if he were deliriously happy.

Meanwhile at the Virani's wedding preparations are in full swing. Eklavy wears exactly what Laksh was wearing Ranbir saw to that as he drobe back in super speed. He does the whole covering his face with flowers sehra . He comes down and sits. A few of the members want to see how he is looking luckily Ranbir stopped them in their tracks. Eklavya and KT go round the sacred fire and do their phere's the pandit gets them to hold some leaf. Elavya puts the mangalsutra on and the sindoor.

Ranbir breathes a sigh of relief he was glad his friend had achieved the woman he wanted even if it was by deceit but all was fair in love and war that was his motto. Its the same principles he applied to his business. He didn't believe in doing anything by halves but always made sure the job was done. Kanya was throwing flowers at the groom and bride when she bumped into Ranbir by coincidence the rest of the flowers that she still had in her hands had fallen on Ranbir. He looks at her with his murderous looks.

R-U again. Am i that irresistible that u put these stupid flowers on me! I'm allergic to it U stupid girl.

K-Can U never take your ugly face anywhere else. Wherever U go something bad happens. U really need to see someone about that i think U did one too many bad deeds so Karma's way of U getting your deserts. Idiot.

R-U R one to talk U 2 piece of dump all the make up in the world can't make U hide how plain U really R.

K-Well all the clothes in the world and stylists can't make U any smaller nor change U into a better looking guy. U look more of a gunda than anything else i think even the plastic surgeons would have a hard time working on your face as one look U will scare them at least i look like a human being U don't even look human.

R-Chipkali watch ur mouth.

K-U watch yours U started the abuse and I ended it. Its not my fault i'm a witty person with a brain dimwit. Anymore insults then i won't leave U alone its a wedding after all. U i let go of for today.

R-U let go i don't thing U can as there's nothing supporting ur weight one blow and Game Over. Get it. Besides bad luck must run in your family not mine. I don't think bad luck got me where i am. I hate your type of girls. U make me want to.......

They look around and see all eyes on them. Everyone bursts out laughing. Kanya goes bright red with embarrassment but it could have been both. Ranbir just laughs too.

E-U 2 have started your bickering again?

Eklavya takes his hat off with the flowers and reveals who KT got married to. KT moves backwards in shock. Ranbir this time can't wait to see what is about to kick off this was better than he'd planned every Virani had their mouth open. Eklavya couldn't help it but laugh too. He then put his serious face on and showed everyone the video tape of Laksh and Vaidehi's wedding with Ranbir, Manthan, Bhumi among other's present. He replayed it over and over.

E-I did this marriage to save KT from disgrace. I mean U saw the evidence there with your own eyes. I'd never hurt KT but family honour means alot to me and with everything thats happened in our family in the past we R already a laughing stock i wanted to save us from that.

R-Laksh wanted to marry Vaidehi for some time but he'd promised to marry U so he was going to have 2 wives. Lucky guy. I mean to say bad guy. He didn't know how to tell U as he is shy or not into confrontations. He asked if i'd be present. I told him yes and took Manthan and Bhumi with me. Eklavya was against this but he felt nobody would believe him.

Tulsi-Laksh would never do this? He is a pure hearted by. My laksh wouldn't hurt his Dadi like that.

R-Well U also said Eklavya did certain things when he didn't with all fingers pointed at him. This is a video tape not doctored what more proof do U want? Sorry for my being so brash but this family is crazy. U treat the innocent as rash and the guilty as saints. I'm glad my crazy family is nothing like this. Eklavya was right U guys R blinded by what u want to see.

Mihir-What gives U the right to interfere in our family matters?

R-Eklavya who is more than a brother to me. Injustice to him i will not stand. Enough has happened to him. Not one of U stood up for him until U started blaming Manthan who is a bad boy but innocent. Please try to understand U guys if U want i will give U Vaidehi on the phone they must be having their suhaag raat as we speak.

Tulsi-This can't be?

KT-Laksh can't do this to me. Eklavya U can't do this to me.

K-U guys give KT a break. Ranbir U truely R a curse!

R-Bite me!

K-Don't want to catch anything! Eklavya tum bhi KT ki saath chalo.

E-U people believe what U want to believe but there R more witnesses and a signed marriage certificate. Ranbir told me about it. If it wasn't for KT i'd have brought this all out ages ago. Sorry for it being this way but even if i showed it U as a family U never in a million years would have believed me.

KT rushes up the stairs. Laksh loved her. Eklavya had a motive but what she saw with her eyes was not a lie. She was heartbroken. Kanya too went up the stairs with Eklavya. She looked furious.

K-Eklavya what have U guys done? Laksh isn't like that but neither R U. i bet Ranbir had something to do with it he looks like a weasel.

E-Kanya do u believe me?

K-Yes Eklavya but i also believe Laksh wouldn't do this knowingly.

E-So what he was faking being happy that he was getting married.

K-I don't know I care a lot about U and don't want U making mistakes and nor KT. This was so underhanded thing to do. I never expected it from U. 4 lives will be destroyed. U will never be happy, neither KT nor LAksh as for Vaidehi who knows her game.

E-So Kanya what R U thinking?

K-Ranbir is bad luck!

E-So U R thinking about him huh?

K-No its all his fault.

E-He's a good guy U just need to know him!

K-Know him i wouldn't want to be anywhere near him but he is a good friend i guess.

E-That he is and Kanya please talk to KT for me.

K-Will do but the storms not over.

Kanya goes to see KT who is crying her eyes out at this stage feeling a mixed set of emotion. She didn't wish ill of anyone before so why was this happening to her? Kanya was there but she wasn't in the mood for talking.

K-KT i know u want alone time but know this. Do not say or do anything before Laksh gets here.

KT-Laksh even he betrayed me. They all do. I guess this was meant to be. Eklavya is now my future.

K-R U mad U don't love him this can all be fixed a quick divorce.

KT-This is not a game for me Kanya Eklavya was meant to be with me i guess its God's will. Don't U thinl its a sign. I was suppose to marry Eklavya all along but never worked out LAksh is my past.

K-So soon.

KT-He moved on too soon. All he had to do was say he didn't want me but he didn't. Now i suffer while Laksh and Vaidehi R happy but why should I curse anyone when it is me thats the unlucky one. No parents, no love.

K-U need a good nights sleep let Laksh come and explain.

KT-There's no need the damage is done so wheres the point? Kanya U really R a good friend.

Ranbir and Eklavya in the hallway congratulating each other on a job well done. Eklavya was feeling sad a little bit but got over it after Ranbir set him straight. He would enjoy this making Laksh's life and KT's a misery. Ranbir had a word about Kanya to Eklavya with Eku warning him off but Eklavya knew that what Ranbir wants to do he will do. Eklavya had to warn Kanya.

Kanya came out of the room. Eklavya smiled nervously.

E-How is she?

K-Well she's hurt by U and Laksh the closest people. Why Eklavya did U do it this way? I know U love her but she doesn't love U.

E-U why i can't answer right now but stay clear of Ranbir he's on a mission and it involves U.

K-Don't worry about him i will play his game for my own gain i have a score to settle.
