Introduction
"Main talli main talli main talli hogayi and only because of you, dush darenge!" Muskaan was half signing and half yelling at the young man who was beneath her.
Before Rahul could realized what was happening, Muskaan had already jumped on him in her state of drunkness. She was now sitting on him with her trademark smile...if people in the room didn't know better they would have presuemed that Rahul was about to get raped.
"M...Mus...Muskaan! Yaar, get off of me!" Rahul tried to push Muskaan off but experienced a severe pain in his rib cage instead.
Armaan really wanted to help Rahul from avoiding a rib injury but he himself was in the middle of getting his head smashed with a bear bottle. While, Atul was too busy tending to Anjali, who herlsef had a drank a pitch or two.
Basically, Rahul Garewal was on his own!
"Nikaame! Ullu ke pathe! Gadhe! Chuhe! Kankhajure!..." Rahul couldn't help but admire Muskaan's ability to continuously call him names without taking a time-out to breath.
He simply gave up trying to get her off after a few more tries and instead felt himself getting lost in her beautiful eyes. He knew that she was obsessed with his eyes, he had once heard her talking about them...in another state of drunkness but she didn't know how crazy he was about her's. Not just her eyes but every outer and inner soul part of her drove him crazy. In those few moments, looking into her eyes, he saw their future in them and then he saw them burning away. He wished he could change the situation but it was too late.
As he started to come out of his trance-like state, Muskaan passed out on him. The weight of her's on him brough him immense pleasure rather than pain. He slowly got up not wanting to wake her up, as if she would, and picked her up in his arms. He told Armaan, who was busy running for his life, that he is going to take Muskaan home.
He gently placed her in the passenger seat of th...his car. As he got into the driver's seat, he saw his vision fogging up with a past memory. He smiled at the memory of them almost kissing when they were locked in the same car once. Shaking his head with a sad smile, he started up the car and they were on their way to Muskaan's house. A house that belonged to Dr. Keerti and where both Rahul and Muskaan lived as a married couple. Sometimes, sitting in his room, he would wonder what it would be like if the marriage was a reality. Maybe things would have been different...happier or even more complicated?
As they got nearer to Muskaan's house, he heard a mumble...Muskaan's mumble. He had to strain his ears to hear what she was saying...
"I...Rahul...no...go...don't...please...why...I love you...why did you...please...don't...stay...for me...R.."
Rahul couldn't listen anymore and looked away with tears in his eyes threatening to escape. He didn't regret his decision to leave her...it was for her own good. He wasn't going to change his plans...no he wasn't!
