IS THIS LOVE? MEIN NE NA JANA
After writing One-Shots, I got quite a few requests for writing a FF. I thought about it, and have decided to give it a shot. This FF is about Samrat & Gunjan's journey into love. This maybe their story, but I will show the point of view of not just Samrat & Gunjan, but also of all the characters, whose life is touched during their journey. I'm going to write this FF in continuation of the current SaJan track going on in the show. If you like reading this FF and wish me to PM you for the next updates. Please let me know here on this thread and will add your name to the list !!! Those who haven't read my One-Shot ! Here are the links !!
Samrat & Sheena's date is over. Samrat walks Sheena out the door, to her car. Sheena can never fault Samrat for not being a gentleman. But she can fault him for one thing tonight! For the most boring date ever! Had Samrat realized it, he would have been appalled, that a girl was actually bored during a date with him! Especially a dinner date with him, at his place! No way! They walk to her car. Sheena unlocks the door and then turns towards him. Samrat comes forward to give her a hug. She hugs him back. But like a friend would. After what happened tonight, all her expectations have vanished! It is not his fault. She gets in, starts the car and drives away. She knows as far as Samrat is concerned, the date was fabulous! He certainly enjoyed himself. At least someone had a good time! As she is driving, she recollects the whole date scenario.
Samrat: Hey Sheena!
Sheena has always been very confident about herself and her impact on guys. She knew when she joined excel and met Samrat, that they would start dating soon. Tonight, it is their first date and she knows she is looking gorgeous ! She walks inside the house, knowing from the look on Samrat's face, that all that time spent on getting ready for tonight hasn't gone in vain! Samrat greets her with a hug.
Samrat: Wow Sheena, you look amazing!
He is grinning. He knows he is right about her being impressed.
Sheena: Oh really? Tum ko kaisey pata?
Sheena smiles, and shakes her head. She is starting to enjoy herself. She didn't know, that it wouldn't last long. He leads her to the dining table which is already set beautifully!
Samrat is happy to finally have Sheena over at his place for dinner. But his eyes are searching for Chashmish. Where did she go? He told her that she could stay. But she didn't. She must have left through the kitchen door. Not only has she cooked everything, she has also set the table so beautifully, while he was receiving Sheena at the door. Chashmish is simply amazing.
Sheena: Wow! Tumney table kitni achi tarah set ki hai ! Tum aur ladkon sey kitney alag ho !
Samrat feels guilty. He knows that he cannot tell Sheena that he has lied about knowing how to cook and that Chashmish has cooked everything, at least he can be honest about this !
Samrat: Yeh mein ney nahi, Chashmish ney table set ki hai, ghar janey sey pehley.
Samrat realized his mistake and immediately rectified it.
Samrat: Woh, merey liye coffee banatey waqt us ka haath jal gaya. Buhut dard ho raha tha usey, magar aisey act kar rahi thi jaisey kuch nah hua ho. Magar mein janta hoon, usko buhut takleef hui thi.
Sheena: Toh aaj kya khila rahey ho ? Its smells heavenly.
Samrat who has just taken a bite of the dinner, has a faraway look in his eyes. He has a flashback of the first time Chashmish has cooked Rajma Chawal for him. He smiles
Samrat: Waqai Jadu hai !
Sheena ignores the mention of Gunjan once again.
Sheena: Tum jitney college mein extra curricular activities mein hisa letey ho, kya itney achey student bhi ho? Academically speaking ?
Not the fact that he hasn't failed yet, but the fact, that whatever the topic, Gunjan's name is always on Samrat's lips. How come she didn't notice this before? Or did she ? And just tried to ignore it ? She had high hopes for the two of them, but from what she could see and feel, this friendship is going remain just friendship, nothing more. She really tried to talk about something or someone other then Gunjan, but Samrat would bring her up in every topic somehow or the other. Now she wasn't irritated. She was just amused.
Sheena, who is driving back home, comes back to reality and says to herself.
