THE HIDDEN TRUTH

It is the big night, everyone from the college is present here. Well, after all this is my party, the hottest hunk of the college. Yes, this is Samrat Shergill's b'day party, and, my twin brother, Mayank Shergill, just a minute older to me, his too. I have to call it his too, otherways my mum's lecture is just around the road. But, i've noticed mum doesn't asks me to hang around with Mayank anymore, and i guess the curiosity made me throw this party in his name too. To be honest, there's something that has happened with Mayank, he doesn't follow me anywhere now, doesn't wants to be involved in my activities, mum doesn't ask me to be there for him all the time. He's changed so much. If truth be told, i'm so used to his nosy and caring behaviour tht i miss him. I miss my bro when he's still there, confusing isnt it?

Finally Mayank has come, what took him so long? He's usually the punctual one, and why has every1 gone so silent? Oho! This crowd isnt allowing me to have a proper look,

"buddy, side plz, its my party remember?",

"oh, sorry Sammy!",

Yes now tht i can see him, wow, Mayank is looking soo different, in tht designer white suit. His specks are gone, i guess he must be using lens. And the girl with him, oh my God, how beautiful can someone look? She looks like a princess, in tht body hugging white n red anarkali suit. Even the silverish white work isnt glowing as much as her skin. I never knew a girl cud look so beautiful in a suit, i mean she doesn't luk like a behenji, but more like a fairy, an angel to be precise. She looks so familiar, wait, i know her, what was her name again? Garima, no, Ginni, nope, was it Gitu, nah, cant be, then Gayatri maybe, no no, too aanty types, i know it starts with a 'G', what was it? My chain of thoughts was broken, when the guy on my side exclaimed, "Gunjan!"

Off course, 'Gunjan Bhushan', i remember and i am drifted into my childhood memories, too smoothly.

It all started with my birth, ours actually. I've already told u, Mayank is like a minute older, but as we grew up, there seemed to be a generation gap b/w him and me. Dad had been the fun loving one, whereas mom was the serious types. I still dont know how do they get on so well with each other. My good luks made me a toy which dad cud brag abt, but mom's stored love was more for Mayank rather than me. I guess tht balanced dad's partial love towards me. I too, had made my distances with mom. Under dad's protection, i became an arrogant person, extremely popular and proud of his personality and his charm. Being the dude of the school helped add the spice. I was always out luking for a new challenge or adventure. I'd realised it soon tht i was a charmer in case of girls, unfortunately for them. I think u can guess how i must've spent my years at school and high school and college too. Mayank, on the other hand, took after mom, same seriousness, same personality, kind and loving. He always wanted to be with me, to enjoy the goodness of a twin younger brother. But i always ignored him, i was ashamed to introduce the bookworm with thick spectacles, as my twin. So i usually avoided him, moreover, he wud lecture me with everything, be it bike racing, basket ball, car racing or a bet on one of the girls. It was b'coz of mom tht i tolerated him, coz i wanted mom to treat me the same as Mayank.
Then, when we were 14, at our 1st day in school, i made a new group of friends. I always chose my friends carefully, they had to be good, no, actually the best. My new group included Chitra Jain, or CJ, the beautiful doll of the school. Favourite of most of the teachers, being the daughter of the principal, she had the perfect attitude. Adhiraj Kapoor, or Adi, my kindergarden buddy, a close family friend, into the same sports as me. Finally, Nups, as in Nupur Bhushan, the new girl, she had the perfect tall body, her face spoke of the arrogance in her heart, and a sharp mind too. I was proud to hang out with my group, competing with tht Uday Mittal, another dude of the school, but 2nd in the rank.

What i didnt realise during this time was tht, Mayank too, had found sumone, who was his friend for wht he was. I'd known abt it, bt too full of myself, to care abt this. Moreover i was happy not to find reasons to avoid him. His new friend was actually, Nupur's younger sister, Gunjan Bhushan, or Gunnu, as Mayank called her. Nups had told me tht Gunjan was actually her cousin, after her parents' death, Nup's dad and mum had adopted her. Nups too felt the same for her, as i felt for Mayank, so i too tried to avoid Gunjan. Actually, i hadn't ever noticed her.
I usually heard Mayank chatter happily abt his friends to mom, i used to be so busy staring at mom feed him so lovingly, i never cared to properly listen to him. After we grew up, dad became busy with the business, leaving no option for me other than mom, bt i guess i was responsible for her distance with me. She did everything for me, same as Mayank, but her eyes shone only for Mayank. Now tht i remember properly, this Gunjan girl was also ignored by her sister. Her new parents fulfilled her every wish, except for love. Their love was for Nups only. So, my mom decided to mother the child who was a gem for her older son. At my home, Gunjan found her family in Mayank and mom. His other friend was some Suhaani Sehgal, Sona for short. I'd heard of her, total chatterbox, and a real weirdo at times.

The real shock came to me the day, when the whole school was talking abt Sammy's bro being friends with Uday Mittal. I held a junior, and asked for details. He blurted out the whole incident.

Uday, at the first bell of the lunch break, had held Mayank, his friends and some juniors to bully them. They had taken it all, but when it was Mayank's turn, Uday asked him to write

"Samrat is a '!@#$%', he is an '^&*()%$#@!&*' and so on" at the notice board outside princi's office. At his refusal to do so, they were about to hit him, when one of his friend hit a punch at Uday, straight on the face. There were so many complaints against him already, tht when taken to princi, Mayank and his friends wud have got a clean chit, and Uday, a sureshot rustication. When princi enquired, to every1's surprise, it was the same girl speaking, who had earlier hit Uday. She told him tht while coming from the stairs, she slipped and her plate hit Uday in the face hard, and she was extremely sorry for tht. The principal saw her with a look of utter shock and disbelief. Finally Uday was spared, but no one knew wht awaited tht girl outside the office. They knew she was in big trouble, perhaps she knew it too, oterwise tht lie in the office........

"Hey u! why did u lie, when u cud've easily told the truth and have me kicked out of here", his voice didnt reveal his emotions.

"Well, ur exit wud have finished off the competition here, and the punch on ur handsome face was just the right punishment. Its the charity ball next week, i'm sure u'll look too good dancing the right moves with ur lovely face. Moreover, ur career wud've ruined", she added.

Uday had to give this girl a high salute for her boldness. He had noticed her always the shy types, but today was something new. He was surprised as well as flattered by her way of praising him with insults. Her every remark had double meaning, but her last words were added softly, with sincerity in her eyes. He surely had to do it, people imagined him hitting the girl as he raised his hand,

"Friends?", people around them were shocked, and more shocked to the reply,

"Forever", as she too raised her hand.
I had been too busy running and shouting at Mayank to break off this new friendship with Uday to which he gave a sureshot no, tht i totally forgot the girl and her extreme power. I was so shocked with Mayank's response, tht i changed my direction everytime i saw him.

Now i realise tht it cud've only been Gunjan, Suhaani is not the one to bring these big changes. And the biggest change was, Uday Mittal. He was never seen with his old friends again. He was one of Mayank's gang, or Gunjan's gang to be precise. News was tht he was there at the ball with Gunjan, and they both had rocked the party. My group hadn't attended the ball, we were busy at Adi's b'day party. I am feeling so angry as to why cudnt Gunjan have gone to the party with me. I mean, she chose Uday, yuccckkkk!!! But what do i care, or do i??????????"

College went by in the same way like school. Our 2 groups had taken admissions in the same college, bt sumhow our paths never crossed. I guess it was all Gunjan's planning to keep us as far as possible. But ways did meet, during our cultural activities, their same interests brought Adi & Suhaani and CJ & Uday close. We had never realised this, until they announced this after the main function to us. I was happy for them, but worried too. I didnt want my friends to be hurt. With this our groups were intermixed, but sumhow either Nups & Me wud be missing, or Mayank & Gunjan, so, we eigth were never together. It was never planned, atleast not by us both, but sumhow this doesnt seem to be just a coincidence. None of our friends knew abt us being siblings, so, they too, considered it a coincidence.

Now tht i am trying, its easier to remember it all. I dont know why, but i wish i cud be a part of their group too. I feel i've missed so many things in my friends' and Mayank's life when i was so full of myself, tht i cannot get it back whatever i do. I come back to the present when a hand shakes me,

"Sammy, u never told us Mayank was ur brother, atleast Gunjan and Nups are just cousins, but u guys r twins?", this was CJ, yelling at the top of her lungs.

"Woh, CJ, actually, its just tht, umm, actually, woh.......", i was short of words. To my relief, Uday made an entry,

"Hey CJ, baad mein. Right now, every1's waiting for the cake to be cut. Come Sammy"

I went away only to see her standing with
Mayank, clasping his arm tightly. I cud feel the warmth she was passing to Mayank to cover up his nervousness. Shouldn't it have been vice versa, i mean she was the all quiet types and all? Despite all tht, why did i want the warmth for myself, did i want every one tht loved Mayank to be mine, was it all to satisfy my ego? My mind answered a yes, unfortunately, my heart disagreed.

The cake cutting and the party went quite well. I just wish Gunjan had wished me too, i mean a present, or a card, or simple wishes wud've done it too. Suddenly my eyes move to a gift wrapped in the same coloured paper as Gunjan's dress. I read the card "Happy B'day Samrat Shergil - Gunjan Bhushan. It sounded so formal, but i opened the gift so cautiously, trying hard not to tear the wrapper or the ribbon or the wishing card. I opened the box to find a small tray, divided in different sections, each one with a different background and a different couple. I pressed on the start switch, and the 1st couple danced followed by the other couples like two cute teddy bears, two cupids, romeo and juliet and many others. The background helped him figure out the couple. After every couple finished, all of them danced together on "Every night in my dreams (from titanic)". He loved the gift so full of love and wished she had given it to him herself. But why am i, all of a sudden, cursing the lack of interaction b/w us. Hadn't she extended me a hand of friendship, along with Nups. I had remarked "Not my types" and walked off. I am used to sending away the people i love, Mom, Mayank and Gunjan. Wait! Did i just say love, no, it isnt love, it cud be just attraction, infatuation u c, not love, not at all. One doesnt fall in love at once, but then.................

From the next day, i tried every possible chance to spend time with Gunjan and her group. But again, Gunjan wudnt be there, Mayank was there sumtimes, but not once was she there. I had come to a decision tht she avoided me, but the question was why?

It was friendship's day tomorrow, and i had planned to confront Gunjan. What better day than tomorrow. I was in my happy thoughts, when i heard some commotion from the opposite room. I thought Mayank needed some help, so i rushed off to his room. I entered his room for the first time, there were numerous pics of him and Gunjan all over the room, some of them with Suhaani and Uday too. At his bedside wall, there was a huge poster of mom, with Mayank and Suhaani on one side, Gunjan and Uday on the other. They all lukd so perfect. I suddenly remembered the reason for coming here and headed towards the open balcony door. I was shocked to see the incident there.

"Hey Gunnu, u, how did u climb the pipeline up til here."

"Mayu give me ur hand idiot, my other hand is full"

"Oh yeah, so sorry! Now tell, why and how come?"

"Being the leader of Girls Scouts Team has helped, including the captainship of girls and boys basketball team of college. As for the reason, its friendship day. I had to wish u first of all. Lets cut the cake, my favourite hand made, chocolate."

"Our favourite"

Samrat saw them cutting the cake, eating some and putting most of it for their facial. Samrat was surprised to see her in a pink hoodie and black tight shorts with matching black shoes. She lukd so different, so 'cool', he didnt realise he'd just started liking cool rather than hot.

"Why r the others down?"

"They wanted me to wish u first"

"No i mean, shudnt they be with Adi and CJ"

"No Mayu, its friendship day, not valentines day. Get ready and come down, we're going to rock this day"

He saw Mayank go instantly with her in his same dress. He was shocked and hurt. During these days, Gunjan's presence had made him realise tht he was in love with her. His heart had told him the same on the night of his b'day. His questions had been answered. He fell in love with her as he drifted through his memories and recalled everything.

He didnt know when he fell off to sleep. He woke up to his mom's and Mayank's laughter. He headed towards the kitchen where Mayank was having his breakfast.

"Mom, last night they all forced me to propose her. Uday n Sona said tht Gunnu wanted it too. So i asked and she said 'yes'. I am so happy, i still cant believe it."

"I can believe it, she had no reason to say no, and i must add, u have an awesome choice. U have my approval."

"Awww, thanks mom, thank u so much. Love u", with tht he rushed off, leaving a heartbroken Samrat. He went up to his room, and cried over all that he had lost. His mom and Mayank just seemed too small a price compared to Gunjan. He cud do anything, to get her back, but he knew he had lost her, forever.

His mom entered his room in the evening, she knew something was wrong. He had refused to have any meals of the day, he hadnt gone to college, whereas it was friendship day today. His cell had been ringing constantly. 100 missed calls and 50 messages. She saw him lay asleep, but not peacefully. His pillow had traces of wetness.
She tried waking him up,

"Samrat, Sammy beta"

He slowly stirred hearing her beautiful voice, slightly opening his eyes he saw her there, ever so lovingly. But remembering todays events, he hugged her tightly and cried his heart out.

"What happened Sammy, tell me na?"

He narrated each and every incident abt him and Gunjan, oblivious to Mayank's presence on his door. He saw Mayank and rushed off to hug him, no words were needed then. He knew Mayank wud understand, whereas his mom had tears seeing the understanding in the hearts of sons.

"I love her Sammy, but not the way u think."

Seeing Samrat's confused expressions, he continued,

"I love Gunjan, more than anyone, even more than
mom, but not as in tht way. We are bestest of friends, lot more than that, but nothing more. She's always been a sisterly figure, but i wont name our friendship as brother sister relation, coz tht wud be an insult to our friendship, naming it just to satisfy the others, i wont do it. I actually proposed Nupur, we both came close during our project together. Yesterday, i went with my gang to her house n proposed her in front of her parents, she agreed with her parents' approval too. As for Gunjan, she's in love with someone since she entered her teens, sum1 who never noticed her, sumone whose image was of a playboy for the world, bt she loved the inner beauty if him. How he always helped his friends, how he was possessive about them and how he cudnt see them hurt. How he cud go to any extent for them and to gain the love of his mother. Despite the fact tht he's hurt her so bad, she still loves him"

Realisation hit Samrat, that somebody was him.

"I m sorry bhai, u must hate me, i am sure u already do. I mean how can she love me, i dont deserve her. Ask her to hate me na"

"To be honest, i never thought u were worth her love, but seeing u today, i realise she wasnt wrong in her choice, her heart did the right thing. As for hating u, i cud never do tht, even if i wanted to. Thats a thing she made me promise, i'll never hate u. Go get her buddy"

"She's at her house?"

"Nope, its her parents death anniversary today. She's at the cemetry"

"Death anniversary? She lukd perfect at night?"

"U shud've realised by now she can hide her emotions too well. Stop this chit chat, i'll tell u more abt her later, now hurry, go and get her"

Samrat hugged Mayank, then his mom and rushed off just to pause at his door, his dad had been standing there, shredding off the tears which had dried on his mom's face. He saw the approval in his eyes, hugged him and ran off taking the bike keys. His dad came in and engulfed Mayank in a tight hug. Tears flowed from his eyes too. She was crying to see her family happily united.

Samrat avoided many cars on the way in his great rush to reach the cemetry, not to say avoiding close calls by death. He finally reached there, the cemetry had been built on a cliff top, and.............

She stood there, dressed in the black 3/4ths, and a baby blue hoodie, hugging her body, to protect herself from the cold, or the loneliness, she guessed. She opened her arms to take in the pleasure of the small water droplets tht had started to fall from the sky. Suddenly her foot tripped and she was abt to fall when a strong hand clasped her wrist. She hadn't seen the person, but she knew she was in safe hands. Then things happened all of a sudden, there was a huge thunder, she was pulled up and she put her hands around him, burrying her face in his chest. She knew no one on earth cud harm her where she was, she was in his arms, the one she loved.

"I love u Gunjan"

He knew this was enough for right now, explanations cud come later on. Now, all he had to do was to wait for an answer. As if she knew wht he was thinking, he heard her "I love u too", but softly.

"Too soft", he didnt want to spoil the moment, but cudnt resist adding this.

He knew she was smiling, within these few seconds, their hearts and souls had become one. He recognised her body language, which said "listen to my heart".

She put his hand in between them on her heart, but he lifted it and put it on his heart.

"Its here, with me". She smiled at this, still burried in his arms.

"It is beating too loudly. I guess it wants to yell at its topmost volume and tell everyone tht we both love each other", she blushed at this.

"Oh ho......."

Mayank saw his mom's worried expressions, and her eyes moving from her phone to the door back and forth. "Mom, there's no use waiting, i'm sure they'll be late. After all, she wont be able to tell him any another day tht the punch Uday got on his face was for using those words for Samrat. Maybe they both've got many beans to spill. Lets enjoy ourselves, dad just got out the dvds as well as some popcorn. C'mon lets race, winner gets to choose the movie."
As she rushed off, he sent a text to Nupur, asking her not to be worried for Gunnu. Nupur had started to care for Gunjan the same time she had come closer to Mayank. After all, thanx to Gunjan, he was able to make his childhood crush as the love of his lfe. He then forwarded a msg to all his friends to meet Sammy, Gunjan and Him, in the morning tomorrow, for an awesomely breaking happy news. Then he too retired to watch off some emotional drama selected by his mom, he shudnt have let her win, poor dad!!!!!

STILL WAITING

This story is about me, Gunjan Bhushan. I had been 17 years of age, when i had gone for that camp, which changed my life. I had not been too ecstatic for the camp, coz i wud hav rather loved spending those vacations with my friends, but my parents insisted tht i go, so i did it. It was a different experience, coz we were staying in the guest house. I had gone to my room, and was surprised to see a balcony there. I loved balconies, n immediately went outside to take in the beautiful view of the clear sky, n the snow filled mountain with some greenery visible. Just then, i turned around, n saw the boys guest house. There, in one of the balconies, stood Benji. I'd met Benji on my flight to here, n he seemed a decent guy. With him, stood another guy, i didnt know him. I tried waving to Benji, but he didnt notice, instead the other guy noticed, n he waved to me. I shaked my head vigorously, n pointd wid my fingers explaining to him, 'not u, the one besides u'. He understood, n notified Benji. Benji waved back to me, n we started talking,

"That's ur room, is it?", Benji asked,

"Yeah, i am here, n tht one must be yours", I said,

"Yup, i am glad we are close by, so do u have a roomie?", he further said,

"Nope, not yet, i am still alone, but i dont know if someone else comes", I said,

"Okie, but i have my roomie, its gonna be the two of us, this is him, his name is..."

I suddenly turned to the voice from my room, n missed Benji's conversation, it looked like my roomie had come, so i called to Benji,

"Hey, i think my roomie is here too, i'll talk to u later, bye", n i waved a bye to him,

My guess was right, the girl who had entered the room was Diya Roy, i was shocked beyond limit. She was not that pretty actually, but her personality was a shocker. Her tall n slim frame, so well maintained, everything abt her shouted style. I discovered she was a little arrogant whn i talked to hr first, n i never risked talking to her again.

Life began smoothly in the camp, we were introduced to the other people. We all belonged from different parts, but we mingled. I did talk to everyone, made friends, but no one was really close to me. I came to know that Benji's roomie was some Samrat Shergill. I never talked to him, but heard a lot abt him from the others. No doubt the guy was good looking, ok, i shudnt under estimate him, he was handsome, but i wasnt too interested since i didnt interact wid him. He was the part of the popular group there, that included Diya, Benji, n few others. Benji had invited me to join them, but i refused, they all were too classy for me. I was the simple girl, n liked being tht way. I usually stayed wid Chinky, who was similar to me in many ways. She had tried to join the popular group, but had been refused. Somewhere down the lane, even i feared the rejection.

As time passed by, we were involved in different activities, n then did i start noticing Samrat. We went for mountain climbing, rock climbing, biking, hiking, n so many adventure sports. Samrat always used to be the best amongst all, even in simpleboard games n things. Later on i came to know tht he visited the camp regularly, so it wasnt new to him. I still felt tht even after visiting regularly, u needed to have talent to be so good. Well, i did the activities, but on a small scale. Thank God, Miss Shilpa had been there, otherwise the others wudnt have stopped making fun of me. Miss Shilpa was kind of the guardian of us all, in that camp. She had brought us all for the camp, n it was her job to bring new students for the camp.

Gradually, i took extra notice of Samrat. He was like perfect in everything, n i started falling for him. I sneaked glances in his direction everytime, n many a times, i found him looking back at me. I used to hope it wud be me he was staring at, but i always found out the other person. It was some or his other friend everytime. I was disappointed, but life went so.

I had a habit, i used to get up early in the morning, to walk around the empty roads. Everyday i took a new road, n discovered some new places. One day, i had walked a bit far, n i found a garden. I was mesmerized by it, i wanted to enter it, but i didnt want to trespass. Then i saw a sign board,

'This garden was made by Mr John Smiths, for his beloved late wife, Mrs Anna Smiths. He has left this garden, for all the lovers of the world. You are free to enter this garden, but it will be great if u cud help maintain this garden. There are all the necessary items here, so plz go ahead in making this place more beautiful'

The garden was indeed beautiful. There were flowers of all colours, n in the centre, was a small shed type dome built, with pillars. It had no walls n was open. It was built of white stone, n looked awesome. I picked up some flower seeds, n lost in my thoughts of Samrat, i sprinkled them all over on a apot near the shed, n watered them.

**************************************

One fine day, i came out of the shower, my hair were wet, n the water dropping on my t-shirt irritated me (ok, i wore jeans-tshirt ocassionally). My cell rang, it was Adhiraj, my bestie, we talked for a long time,

Suddenly, someone had entered my room. I tought it wud be Chinky calling me for breakfast.

"Ok Adhiraj, gotta go... bye... n yeah, i love u too... haan haan missing u... will be back soon. Ok, now bye. Haaaaaaan Chinky, i am coming, it wasnt my fault, Diya took so much time in getting ready n then u know Adhiraj..."

I turned, scattering the water drops, only to find Samrat standing there with tht unknown expression on his face, n rubbing his face where the drops had fallen. I was shocked,

"Tum, oh sorry, i thought ki Chinky hai..."

"Huh, yeah, am sorry too, i shud've knocked. Sorry, wo i thought ki Candy is here, n i never knocked when i came to meet her, so waise..."

"Its ok, Diya has already gone down, u can find her there"

I said this much, n turned, trying to control my tears. So, he came to meet Diya, when i was not in the room. Well, everybody knew they cud find me in the library, rather than the room. So i was oblivious to anything going around. Chinky had guessed, she wasnt sure, but she told me, something going on between Benji and Diya, but now i was sure tht Chinky was wrong. I was shattered, and didnt want Samrat to see my tears, so, i turned around. I thought he had tried to say something, but when i turned again, he had left. That day, i made some excuses, n changed my room. I shifted in with Chinky, away from Diya, away from tht room, whose balcony was the place from where i secretely admired my dream man.

************************************

Since my first visit, i only visited the garden once, on my last day there, when i cried my heart out for going away from Samrat, but i also realised tht i was never close to him.

I departed from the camp, with all those things in my mind, and Samrat in my heart. I saw him hugging n saying byes to all his friends, with a cute smile. I wish he'd ever smiled to me like that, coz i was crazy for his sweet smile. I was hurt again, when he did not even wish m a bye. I said my byes to my other friends, n left.

***************************************

It has been 8 years since then, today i am 25 years old. Samrat had made a special place in my heart, n i cud never give it to anyone else. My parents wanted to get me married, but i just cudnt say yes to anyone. So, after completing my MBA degree with top qualifications, i looked for an idea tht cud save me from the marriage fiasco. And then, it was decided, i went to the company, which organised those camps, n applied for the job. I was easily selected for the job, which Miss Shilpa had handled at my time. I wud be travelling most of the time, n mom-dad wont pester me abt marriage. Basically, it was Adhiraj's idea, he knew everything abt Samrat, n supported me in my decision. At present, Adhiraj is a doctor, recently married one month back to his love, Dr Suhaani. I have been handling the tours since last 2 years. Adhiraj sometimes asks me if its worth waiting for Samrat, n i have no answer. He understands my unspoken words.

****************************************

Recently, we had gone for the tour again. I loved living those memories of my days there, they were my lifeline. But this time, something was different, there was this girl Angel, she was just six years in age. I had observed her carefully, n saw my past in her. Not the love thing, but she used to saty away from the others. Even when she was with everyone physically, she was never there mentally. She talked to everyone, but, again, no one was really close to her. I didnt like it, n took her totally under my care. Though i had to treat everyone equally, but Angel was a special one. She became real close to me, she did everything wid me, the other younger children didnt like my closeness to her, they felt left out, but i knew i wasnt wrong. I didnt neglect them, i just paid Angel a little more attention. It was finally the end of the camp, we were in the flight,

"So Angel, who'll come to pick u up from the airport"

"Umm Gun, well, i guess mom will be pretty busy, so, maybe dad will come, i am not sure, we havent talked"

"Ok, i'll miss u Angel, here's my number n my email id, do keep in touch"

We landed, parents came to collect their children, i saw them all off. Almost all of them had left, when Angel came n hugged me,

"Gun, i'll really miss u"

"Aww, Angel, dont cry, we'll keep in touch, n we live in the same city, right, i'll come n meet u, pakka, plz dont cry"

"You too, clear away ur tears, they dont look nice in ur big eyes"

"Ok honey"

"Hey Gun, buddy aa gaye", Angel pointed to a direction, i turned to see, happily, n received the biggest shock of my life, Samrat Shergill strode in our direction. He had not changed much, only he had become more handsome n matured. He was busy talking on phone, n i guessed he hadnt seen me. I immediately moved from there, hiding behind a crowd.

"Hey buddy, aap aa gaye, so cool. I want u to meet someone, see... oh no, where is she"

"Who Angel?"

"Gun, i wanted u to meet her. She was the best part of my camp"

"Gun (he thought for sometime, then shaking his head), i'll meet her some other time, ok, now we have to go, come"

"Next time, that means u'll send me for the camp, again, wid Gun, haina?"

"I promise, now let us go"

Gunjan saw the two figures leaving, father n daughter, hand in hand. She was feeling restless, it had been so long since she had seen him. He was there on the newspapers, coz he was a successful bussinessman, but never did his picture or his personal life come in there. He had been handsome then, but now, it was just more than before. His body seemed to be tearing out from his nicely fitted suit. His hair, like always, were not gelled. Infact, they were longer, n silky, falling on his forehead. His dimpled smile, when he smiled at Angel, hadnt still changed. The feelings in her heart took a turn on seeing him again, n she left the airport heavy hearted.

*************************************

It had been 3 months since she'd seen Samrat again. Angel had tried keeping in touch wid her, but Gunjan avoided her calls. She did not want to see Samrat again, n getting closer to Angel, wud mean the same. She did not know anything abt his personal life, his family, n she knew staying away from him was the only option. She had sent her wishes to Angel on her birthday, but she never checked back for the reply.

************************************

It is her birthday today, Gunjan was very excited, she was waiting for calls from all her near n dear ones. Adhiraj n Musakaan had been the first ones to wish her, n right now, she was waiting for her parents' call. The phone rang, n she immediately picked it up.

"Hello!!!", she spoke wid excitement,

"Happy Birthday Gun", the voice said,

"Uh... Angel... thanks, so, how are u?"

"............"

"You're angry?"

"Shud i be?"

"Angel, see..."

"No Gun u see (Angel started crying), i have been trying to reach u so many times, but u r like ignoring me. You r not at office whenever i come there, u dont pick up my calls, u dont reply to my mails, why are u doing this?"

"Angel, sweety, stop crying, plz plz plz, i know i have been very wrong, n it was unacceptable, but plz, forgive me. We can start afresh, plz"

"On one condition, where is the party tonight?", Angel chuckled,

"Thats like my girl, ok, the party is at my appartment, but how will u come?"

"Mum n dad r busy, so i guess, its the driver again"

"Ok, pen down my address, n see u at 8, n dont be late"

"Love u Gun, thanks, bye, see u soon"

Gunjan didnt know why had she done this, but she cudnt break Angel's heart. Gunjan thought she wud try hard to stay away from her parents, that was all she cud do.

*****************************************

It was the night time, Gunjan was dressed in a pink n a bluish churidaar, n was busy with the food preparations, along with Adhiraj.

"Adhiraj, when will Suhaani come, its about time?"

"Oh craps, i forgot to mention, she is in an important surgery, n it is a serious one. So, no idea abt when she's coming back, but she's promised to be back asap"

Ting tong,

"I think its Angel, u check upon the cake, i'll open the door"

Gunjan opened the door, n saw a very excited Angel, dressed in pink, a bouquet in her hand.

"Happy birthday Gun, how r u?", she hugged Gunjan,

"Awww, the flowers are lovely, these red n white roses are my favourite", Gunjan now noticed the man in black standing at the door with a big teddy bear in his hand, his face covered. She felt a familiar feeling,

"Angel, whats this?", Gunjan pointd to the man,

"Whats this nahi, who's this, he is my buddy, Buddy, meet Gun, Gun, thats Buddy, n plz keep the gift down", Angel said,

The man kept the teddy bear down, Gunjan was shocked to see Samrat standing there n smiling, in a black suit wid blue shirt.

"Hi... uh Buddy"

"Happy Birthday, Miss Gun", he flashed his million dollar dimpled smile, Gunjan melted down, but suddenly seeing Angel there, she remembered,

"Its Gunjan Bhushan for you"

"Oh k, Samrat Shergill", he put forward forward his hand, i was abt to take it when,

"GUNJI, COME HERE, SOON", it was Adhiraj shouting from the kitchen,

"Oh no, he needs help! Angel come inside, i'll just be back"

Gunjan rushed inside, followed by Samrat n Angel who knew something wasnt right, but to their shock, they entered the kitchen only to see a man with apron n a cheff's cap, grinning foolishly at a very angry Gunjan, who took turns to see the guy, n the beautifullly laid chocolate cake.

"So Gunji, hows it?", the guy asked Gunjan,

"Dunno, u know what am i thinking?", Gunjan asked in a very calm voice, surprising all the three there,

"What???", the guy asked,

"That someday, i'll go to jail for murdering u Adhiraj", with this she started running behind him. They played the cat n the mous for a few minutes, when Adhiraj noticed Angel, he stopped, turned n was abt to bump in Gunjan who also stopped suddenly,

"Freeze", he said,

"What?", Gunjan asked, he pointed his fingers to the duo standing there,

"We are missing them in the fun", he said

"Oh, Angel, i am so sorry, ye Adhiraj aisa hi hai. Dont mind him, so Adhiraj, this is Angel, n Angel, Adhiraj", Gunjan said,

"Hey Angel, Gunji talks a lot abt u, its my pleasure to meet u", Adhiraj said,

"Oh, same here, nice to meet u too Mr Adhiraj", Angel said,

"Its Adhiraj for u, sweety. Hey man, i'm Adhiraj, Dr Adhiraj Kapoor", Adhiraj put forward his hand.

"Samrat Shergill, hi", Adhiraj raised his eyebrows at the name, Samrat took his hand, n suddenly, Adhiraj winced in pain, he immediately pulled back his hand.

"Ah, Gunji, lets cut the cake", Adhiraj said, diverting his mind,

"Hmm, haan, lets cut it, n trust me, its beautiful. Come Angel!", Gunjan stood in the middle, with Adhiraj on one side, n Angel on the other. She made a wish (i cant tell na, poori nahi hogi), n blew the candles. Now she was in a dilemma, who gets the first piece. If she feeds it to all, she cudnt neglect Samrat. So she only fed Angel, but looks like Adhiraj wasnt buying the situation. He pouted making a face, n she had to give in. She fed him one piece too. Then they all settled on the couches,

"Angel, u also went to the camp for which Gunjan went, how was it?", Adhiraj asked,

"It was awesome", Angel replied,

"Oh k, it was very bad for Gunjan", Adhiraj said while Riiddhima just glared,

"Really, maybe coz she did not have a Miss Gun. So Gun, u like my gift?", Angel asked,

"Yup, i told u the flowers were my favourite. Even Adhiraj got the same ones, they r in my bedroom, n the teddy, i love it, its also going to my room"

"Really, Buddy suggested the gifts, so, who wished u first of all?", Angel continued,

"Ah, like always, Adhiraj was the first one and ...", Gunjan was continuing, when Samrat interrupted,

"Um Angel, we need to go, i hav an urgent work"

"But Buddy, u said w wud stay till late..."

"I know Angel, but its urgent. You can visit Gun again, ok?"

Gunjan bade her byes to Angel, n muttered a simple thank u to Samrat.

"So, that was Samrat Shergill? Is it still worth waiting for him, when he's already so happy?", Adhiraj asked as she closed the door.

Gunjan cudnt say anything, she only hugged Adhiraj, n cried her heart out.

*************************************

Since the last 1 month, Gunjan was talking to Angel, but Samrat was never again wid her. Gunjan noticed Angel didnt like to talk abt her family, so she never pushed. This time, Gunjan was going again for the tour, and Angel wanted to go with her. Gunjan said she shud go to new places, not the same ones, but Angel was adamant. Finally, both of thm went there. They had lots of fun. Some time later, Adhiraj n Suhaani, who were on a break, joined them. It was anyways their marriage anniversary next day. The preparations had been made for a nice party. Surprisingly, Samrat also arrived there, the next evening itself. When told abt the party, he was only happy to attend it, even at such short notice. The party went very well, Gunjan was dressed in a red churidaar, which was party going dress. Samrat was also dressed in a red shirt, with a black suit. He looked so dashing, n tempting, tht Gunjan left the party, n strode for a walk. Surprisingly, she found herself, in the same garden of Mrs n Mr Smiths. She walked to the shed, to the spot where she'd planted the seeds. To her surprise, beautiful red n white roses had grown there, making a heart shape. Gunjan sat there, admiring the flowers, when her heart screamed only Samrat's name.

Suddenly, few lights went on, falling all over the garden n the shed. These lights, along wid moonlight, made the view even more beautiful. But, what came next, made her gasp. Samrat walked to her, with big steps, n finally reaching her, he bent on his knees, n pulled out a beautiful diamond ring.

"Gunjan Bhushan, marry me"

Gunjan was shocked,

"Why Samrat, why shud i marry u?"

"Because i love u, i've loved u since the first day when i saw u in tht balcony. You were wearing tht loose pink t-shirt, wid blue shorts, n u looked heavenly beautiful, much more than the view outside. Your long silky hair were open, n ur skin was glowing like anything. Your simplicity, took my heart. Then u waved, at me, i was jumping from within. But the wave was for Benji, n i was disappointed. But i never left hope. You never talked to me, n i feared ur rejection, so i too did not take the first step. You always avoided our group, i suggested Benji tht he asks u to join us, but u refused. I was always looking at u, n when u sometimes looked back, i was scared of being caught. So instead of looking away, i turned my gaze to any of my nearby friends. Benji was my cousin, n he'd realised my feelings for u, so, he tried his best to help me. He n Diya had hit it off, so, he took me to ur room many times, but u were never there. So i used to sit n admire ur room, ur side was always the clean one, with one red n one white rose in the vase everyday, n ur things arranged to perfection. Your balcony window was a blessing, i had askd Diya to keep the curtains always open, n i saw u so many times through it, ur normal self, in the room, when u were alone.

You didnt know, but just to follow u, i used to get up early, n walked closely behind u. That day, seeing u in this garden, it was heaven on earth. You looked so angelic. And then u planted those flowers, i used to come here everyday to water them. Then came the day, when i saw u in ur room. I'd seen Diya go out, n i thought it was the best time to catch u alone, i came, n the sight amazed me, the water drops from ur wet hair, it was like faliing in love all over again. But then, the convrsation i'd just heard struck me, u loved some Adhiraj, n i was totally broken. Now i knew why the most popular guy of the camp held no interest for u. You were already committed, and i respected ur loyalty, so i blabbered whateve cam in my mind first, n went away. Then, we all went separate ways when the camp finished. I didnt have the guts to say even a good bye to u, u were left like a sweet memory in my heart, my Gun.

After getting older, my love only grew for u, n this kept me away from committing to any othr girl. I knew i cud not ruin someone elses life, coz it was only u in my heart. Then, when Angel came back from the camp, it was only abt u all the time. I was sometimes irritated, but i liked to hear abt Gun, be it someone else. Then, the day before ur b'day, i saw ur picture in Angel's diary. She had been quite upset coz of not meeting u, was talking to ur picture. I recognised u, u'd only grown more beautiful. I was overwhelmed to know it was u, my Gun. I jumped when Angel told me u hadnt married. I saw another hope. Then, i insisted she call u, n the result was there. We headed to ur home, i was ready with both colours, blue as well as pink, i had an intuition u wont wear red tht day. You wore red only when u were really really vry happy, but tht was not the day. And yes, wasnt i right? Seeing u was like getting a new life, but Adhiraj was there too, ur closeness with him burnt me. I now doubted if i really had a chance. So, i took off wid Angel, under pretext of urgent work. Then, i tried avoiding u, i knew abt u from Angel's daily updates, but i didnt want to face u.

Then, after Angel came here again, i recalled our days here. My desire to meet u overcame my resolution of not meeting u, n here i was. But the news of Adhiraj's anniversary party, made my whole life. He was married to Suhaani, so i talked to him abt u, n he told there was no one present in ur life. I immediately rushed here, n thats it, now, plz Gunjan, say u'll marry me, evn if u dont love me, i promise my love will be enuf for both of us, plz say yes"

Gunjan was crying badly,

"Samrat, Adhiraj lied to u, thre is already someone in my life, whom i love very much, n after him, i can never love anybody, no one ever"

"He... he lied to me, why? Who is it Gunjan?", Samrat was shattered, again, he lowered his head, n asked.

Gunjan fell on her knees, lifted his face, n staring in his eyes, she answered,

"I love him from the days of my camp, i dont how n when did i fall in love, but since then, i've been falling only deeper n deeper. Even today, i am just waiting for him, the guy who owns my heart, my soul, he owns me, forever. I Love You Samrat"

Samrat heard those words, n hugged her tight. He didnt want to leave her, now that he had her, n his grip on her, told her this. She was only his, she was his Gun. They sat in the same position for some time, suddenly Gunjan separated, her eyes went on the ring which was in her finger, she didnt know since how long was it there.

"Samrat, what abt Angel?"

"Angel, she'll be jumping wid joy to have u as family"

"What abt her mom?"

"Candy! Where does she come in?"

"Angel is Diya's daughter?"

"Noooooo, Angel is Diya and Benji's daughter, n they'll also be happy to have u, but why do u ask?"

When Gunjan did not answer, n lowered her eyes, realisation hit him,

"Oh God! You, you thought Angel was my daughter, no no no, i am still the most eligible bachelor of India, trust me, no girlfriends too, i swear"

"You r lying to me"

"Gunjan, seriously, never had a girl friend, n trust me, i am still a bachelor"

"No, u're not, u have a girlfriend, n u are no longer a bachelor, you are mine", she flashed her ring to him, n buried her head in his chest, while he cud only smile at his love.

Gunjan thought to herself, 'thank u God, for fulfilling my wish, n keeping Samrat happy'.

A LOVE STORY (SAJAN)

Not every love story has a happy ending,

sometimes.................

Today is the biggest day of my life, i am getting married to him, the one person who i know loves me the most in the world, whom i love the most. Our friends say that we are the best couple anyone cud ever see, the 'Made For Each Other' couple. I, Gunjan Shashi Bhushan, is soon to be Gunjan Samrat Shergill. This name sounds like sweet chocolates to my ears. Every time i speak it, i feel i am in heaven. Samrat and my relation was a matter of denial to my family, Baouji and Bui, even Diya(my cousin) were against us, because of the careless image they'd set of Samrat. They protested us being together in the name of protecting me. Only Nupur, Mayank, Suhaani, Adjhiraj and Benji were with us, trying to help. Finally, Samrat's friendship won over, and, they all, even Diya started convincing baouji. Finally, after lots of drama, with the help from all, baouji agreed to marry me to Samrat. That was the happiest day of my life, exception is today's day.

Preparations started taking a height, and guess what, cupid striked all my friends during this time. Nupur came close to Mayank. Suhaani and Adhiraj got together finally, and Diya who was angry with Benji for siding with Samrat also forgave him, and to be honest, this was the best u cud expect. I am glad she has moved forward, coz after that horrible experience, we all had given hope, but Diya is so Diya, she overcame all that too.

Anyways, right now, i'm all ready, just waiting for her to come and take me. Meanwhile, i decided to check myself out, in the mirror, i saw myself. Dressed in that heavy red lehanga, with whitish work done on it, i wonder how he'd react as i remember our conversation in the mall a few days back.

****************************************

"No Gunjan, you are wearing this red dress, and this is final. White is your favourite, moreover, imagine, you'll look like an angel descending from heaven. White represents purity and innocence, white, innocence, innocence, white, get it?"

"Samrat, i can look like an angel even in red, woh bhi pure and innocent wali. Someone's told me that i look like a pari in anything and everything i wear"

"Did he mention about nothing, huh?", he said with a twinkle in his eyes, and i blushed beet root red as i looked down,

"Hayye"

"Anyways, i dont care, i am wearing red for my marriage, red brings out the love and happiness of marriage the best, moreover, my boyfriend loves red, so red it is"

When nothing worked, he went for the last resort, making the cutest puppy face one cud ever imagine, he spoke to me,

"Please, white wala, mere liye"

"All right, white will do, i'll wear it"

****************************************

Gunjan smiled thinking how he'd react when he will see her in this red dress, although in her heart she knew he's gonna love it. He'd been adamant that he wear a white sherwaani too, so that they both matched. But keping her plan in mind, she somehow persuaded him to wear red. Mind you, he did look hot in red, she'd just seen from behind the window, when the baraat had arrived. His hair were gelled like always, his first 2-3 buttons open, and surprisingly, Baouji also complimented him this time.

"Haye mera Samrat beta definitely looks hot in this sherwaani, kyun Bhaiya?"

"Haan Ratna, after all, he has to keep himself in form to match my Gunjan", everyone had laughed while Samrat stared at him with an open mouth. Suhaani had come and told all this to Gunjan, she laughed at the fact that Samrat was spreading like some flu in everyone, only, peolpe wud die to have this flu. Yes, she was right, seeing him dance with Mayank, Benji and Suhaani down there, she thanked God for blessing her with his most precious and favourite person.

Lost in her thoughts, Gunjan did not hear Ratna come in and lock the door behind her. She only realised her presence when an upset Ratna shook her. She asked her the reason of why she was so upset, and what Ratna spoke next seemed to take the world away from Gunjan.

****************************************

Samrat was sitting amongst his friends as an object of teasing, they all were pulling his leg upto the heights.

"Haan haan, kheench lo, mere baad tum sab ki bhi baari aane wali hai, then i'll see how u all escape", they all laughed even more at this. Samrat was already irritated by the fact that Gunjan and him wud not match in the colour of their dresses, the fact that he was dying to meet her, and all this just piled up his frustration. This was what he thought, but the actual reason was that he knew something was extremely wrong, very very wrong, but he cudnt pin point to it. Or rather, he didnt want to accept the fact was that whatever the matter was, it was related to Gunjan. The vibes he'd received of something bad, came from his heart. But to avoid any scene, he walked off from there, only to be hit into Ratna. One look at her and he knew something was definitely wrong. Was Gunjan alright? Oh God, plz dont let anything happen to her, plz God!

"Bui, kya hua, sab theek to hai na, aur Gunjan......"

"Samrat mere saath chalo, Gunjan wants to meet you", with that both of them rushed off to her room.

****************************************

The door to her room opened, and he hurriedly entered, while Ratna stood to close the door. It was when he saw her, she looked like........ he cudnt find words. If he said tht an angel had descended from heaven, it wud be an understatement, rather, an insult to her. OMG, she was dressed in that red lehenga, no wonder she'd been firm he wear white. As his gaze went to her face, he felt something amiss. The spark, the charm which normally used to be on her face was lost, let alone the shine and glow of a bride's face. She seemed to be staring in space, with a hurt expression in her eyes, he knew she was in pain, he'd realised that earlier, and now it only confirmed what he already knew.

"Gunjan, Gunjan, kya hua, plz kuch to bolo na", and when lots of persuasion she didnt speak up, he asked Ratna,

"Bui, aap hi bata dijiye, plz?"

"Samrat, Gunjan does not want to marry you, she's backing from the marriage and......

She was cut in between as an angry Samrat spoke up,

"Shut up, how can you say such a thing, Gunjan, what crap is she talking abt, look, Bui is saying tht u do not want to marry me, its lies i know you want to marry me, right, Gunjan speak up, plz Gunjan, say something..", he continued shaking her vigorously,

"Samrat, grow up, she's said she doesnt wanna marry you, but if we call off the marriage, it will lead to great insult of the families, so, so..... i suggest why dont you marry Diya. You two are great friends, and she's ready to do it, she's ready to sacrifice her career and independence and her goals for the family's name. She's unlike Gunjan, who only cares abt her freaking pre marital nerves, so, is it ok with you now?", Ratna finally completed her speech of how bad Gunjan was and how good Diya was.

"I dont trust you, dont you see her state, she's in pain, so much pain, and you still expect me to believe she's called off the marriage, you really take me to be kid bui, dont you. Moreover, if she refuses to marry me, then why cant she say it to me too, why has she chosen to be silent. Bui, i wanna know the truth, what has happened to Gunjan, tell me now?"

Ratna was quite scared listening to the anger held up in Samrat's voice, but she managed to utter,

"Samrat, i am speaking the truth, trust me....."

"Trust you for what Ratna, trust you for what?", Baouji suddenly emerged inside with a voice as angry as Samrat's,

"Bhaiya, you, here?"

"Yes Ratna, i shouldnt be here, right, it might disturb your so called beautiful plan of ruining Gunjan's life, right?"

"But Bhaiya, what about Diya, she'll...."

"To hell with Diya, i dont care what happens, but i'm not letting you destroy Gunjan"

"To hell with me taiyaji, why to hell with me, u dont care taiyaji, u dont care for me now, like u never did, even after when dad left, u never cared for me like u do for ur adopted daughter, Gunjan"

Samrat saw a teary eyed Diya standing and shouting at baouji. He was now sure Gunjan had just come to know of her adoption, the shock was visible on her face. But what was all this, Diya crying, Bui baffled, Baouji angry, what was happening, and Gunjan, Gunjan was still indifferent from her surroundings. He knew only one person cud answer him right now,

"Baouji, plz do me a favour and tell me whats going on, plz?", the request and plead in his voice seemed to calm Baouji's anger, and Samrat noticed that.

********************************

"Samrat, remember, Diya had recently gone to attend her friend's party in Delhi, there she met this Ranvijay Singh. She fell in love and went beyond limits with him. Later on, she discovered it was all just fun for him, so she came back with a broken heart, but managed herself due to Gunjan's support. She then decided to move on in life"

So this explained Diya's weird behaviour in those past days, she had been extermely quite and cut off. And Gunjan tried to be with her whenever she cud, n soon Diya was back to normal. Hats off to my dearest Gunjan, he saw her and thought - this is why i love you Gunjan. When he spoke it, she looked at him for a fraction of second, so short look tht Samrat thought he'd just imagined it, but he knew she'd looked, his heart just knew it.

"About today, Diya just discovered that she was pregant, with Ranvijay's child. Ratna came to know of it, and came up with the idea of Diya marrying you, coz according to her, this wud be the best way of saving family's name. As soon as Nupur heard Ratna's plan, she informed me"

"How, i mean, Gunjan is also ur family, right?"

"Well Samrat, Gunjan is actually Diya's step-sister (Armaan noticed Baouji did not say 'Gunjan is not my daughter or adopted daghter'), my younger brother had loved someone deeply and Gunjan was their daughter. Ratna had forcefully married him to her friend, Diya's mom, but later on, they both died in an accident. Gunjan's mom died in the hospital a month later, giving birth to Gunjan. Before her death, she handed off Gunjan to me, Gunjan was unaware of her real identity. But today Ratna revealed it to both Gunjan and Diya. Ratna has always hated this girl from the very beginning. Sheesh (he added spitefully)!!! Now, she wants to revenge her by marrying off Diya, and who better than you. You've a great status, ur family background is amazing, and as a guy, there's no one better than you, so she planned to break this marriage. I am sure her plan is responsible for Gunjan's such state. To be honest Samrat, both Diya and Ratna are envious of Gunjan, the always lovable child. Everyone loves Gunjan more than both of them, including me, and off course you. They both despise the fact that how come this simple girl won over your heart, and how come she gets the privilege of being loved so much by you that you can do everything for you. Diya feels she shud've got someone like you, Ratna thinks tht if her brother despised n dithched her, then why shud Gunjan get her true love. I hate to say this, but her own family hates her, i'm sorry Gunjan, i'm so sorry"

Baouji held the hands of the statue cum Gunjan and cried out,

"Baouji, dont cry, plz", Gunjan finally came out of the trance and wiped away his tears,

"Samrat, u love me, right, no, dont interrupt me, listen, plz marry Diya, i ask u to do this not for her, not for bui, not for me, but for baouji. I wont be able to bear him being insulted, plz Samrat marry her"

"I'll do it for u Gunjan, with all due respects to baouji, but i'll do this only and only for u Baouji, i'll marry Diya, but let me tell you, this will only destroy three lives, urs, mine, and Diya's. I promise to take care of her child, but not Diya, she's even lost the friendship i had for her. And remember, I'll always love you, only you", with that he pulled her in for a hug, probably his last one, and therefore tried putting all that he felt for her in tht onw hug. She too squeezed him as hard as he did, to take in all the warmth he had, which wud be her support for the rest of her life. Finally he parted (not she) and waled off from the room without looking back.

BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world fell for Gunjan then and there.

*********************************

He was already waiting in the mandap as Nupur and Suhaani brought her down. He did not even bother looking up, the ceremony started and all the rituals took place. Samrat did not know when the marriage started and finished off, he was too busy in his own world. Every moment that he'd spent with Gunjan striked his mind every now and then, he just cud not take her out of his mind, thoughts of her floated all over. Gunjan like this, Gunjan like that, Gunjan here, Gunjan there, Gunjan with him, this was the only thing he cud think off. So busy thinking abt her, he came out of this only when his friends shook him. He realised he was in his home, it meant that he'd gone through the marriage like a puppet. But now it was all over, and it was time he had a talk with Diya.

**********************************

"Hey Diya, how are you, i bet u're fine, u've got all wht u wanted right?"

He spoke with sarcasm in his voice, as he entered in the room and found her on the bed with the ghoonghat on her face. Hel*, he'd entered the room only to get positive vibes from Gunjan's pictures that hung all over the room and all those gifts which reminded him of her. But now it was time for some action,

"You know what Diya, your child will get everything he should, name, love, care and everything. But wht abt u, how are u gonna live, i'll tell u, i'll make life worse than hell, u'll wish it were better u went to hell. And how will i do that, well, easy, i'll do nothing, simply nothing, except watch u gettin tortured by this new life of urs,welcome to hell Miss Bhushan", he added poisonously,

"I've already met hell 1 year back Mr Samrat Shergill, when i met you"

"What the he**? (he hurried off to pull over the ghoonghat) Gunjan? You, What are u doing here? How come and......"

Without waiting any longer, he took her into a rib crashing hug, and only broke after wht was eternity, but still less for the two lovers (oooops, i meant the newly weds).

"Gunjan, how, i mean when, how, and like what happened....."

She put her hand n his mouth as she saw him get restless, and out of habit, he immediately kissed it. She blushed and he smiled giving his dimpled smile. She knew he was waiting for answers.

"Samrat (the name felt like chocolates to him as she said it), as soon as u pulled me in the hug, i knew my decision was wrong (he gave her THE look), OK, i already knew it was wrong, right from the beginning, but at that moment, i realised i cud not live wth this decision and without you. So i told them what i felt.

***********************************

"Baouji, main Samrat se shaadi karoongi, i am not calling off the marriage"

While baouji's face shone up, bui came screaming at me,

"No Gunjan, are u crazy, u cant marry him, he'll marry Diya, think about her, what'll happen when everyone comes to know of her pregnancy, dont do it,do u get it, u wont marry him, for me"

"Bui, even after what baouji has said, i love u and Diya. I love you both, very much, but i love Samrat LOTS MORE than how much i love you all. If Samrat had been ok with this decision, trust me, i'd have immediately backed off. But as you've already heard, my backing out shall completely destroy him, and may whatever happen, i wont let Samrat suffer, not even a bit. I'll go to every end to make him live his life happily, EVERY END mom, he deserves it, he deserves only the best"

If Ratna was scared seeing the emotions boil up in Samrat's eyes, then she did know what she felt now. If looks cud kill, Ratna wud've been dead, for good. Gunjan's eyes spitted the fire tht cud burn everything. She then moved to Diya who had been a silent spectator after that one dialogue to Baouji.

"Diya, i still love u like i used to (Diya saw the sincerity and honesty in her eyes), but i cannot let u marry my Samrat, he's only mine. You marrying him will make life worse for him, and i wont let that happen. I wont let him break down coz of me. Diya, u know i cud've given my life to u, but now, my life is not mine, it's Samrat's, everything i have now, my heart, my soul, my body, my life, everything belongs to him, and his belong to me. Even if i want to give them you, i wont be able to. These things are here, deep in my heart (she said pointing to her heart), and they'll never part with me, even after i die. Its because of him that i'm living. Uske aane se pehle main bus saans le rahi thi, mere dil ne dhadakna aur maine zindagi jeena to Samrat ke saath seekha. So forgive me, but i have to marry Samrat, at every cost, and no one can stop me"

For once, Diya agreed with Gunjan and did not want to argue, she hugged her and Gunjan knew she had to reach out for Samrat soon. Baouji too came and hugged his daughters. Finally, Ratna muttered "I'm sorry beta" as she hugged Gunjan and cried her heart out.

**********************************

"So?"

"What so?"

"So am here with you, how do u feel"

"Gunjan, u've no idea, actually, u have a full idea of how do i feel, coz u're feeling the same way, and i know the hug was enf to tell u how badly i missed u in these few hours, i thought i'd lost u, forever. Haan, but tht reminds me, what about Diya?"

"Well, just as u stormed out, Benji came there after a few minutes, when i'd already announced of my decision, he seemed to have heard everything and asked for Diya's hand and surprisingly, it was di who accepted it", seeing a doubt forming on his face, she continued, "Dont worry, she did not do it because of her present condition. She truly respects him. Maybe she does not love him yet, but she does like him more than a friend, she came real close to him recently, and honestly, she wud've married him only, she agreed to u just coz of her grudge towards me. Anyways, i'm sure she'll soon fall in love too, i am sure. Dont look so tensed, i guarantee tht Benji did not take the wrong decision"

How did she understood him so well, obviously the way he understood her. He was ecstatic, maybe becoz Gunjan had gone against her family, for him, and was ready to take the world against her too. Or actually, he was ecstatic knowing the fact that he was married to her, his 'Gunjan Samrat Shergill', the name was so complete.

"I love you Gunjan"

"I love you too Samrat"

With that, they both lost each other into each other.

Not every love story has a happy ending,

sometimes.................

It is a happy beginning!!!!!!!
