:::Update 16:::Total Recall:::
Pia relayed what a strange night she'd had with Sid. They guy was a little odd but if it meant making Abhay envious then it was worth it. Misha had filled Pia in on Abhay's little issue on the Pia front. Pia decided it was time she got to work on her report on Abhay at the College Offices where they kept the news letters typed up getting her Dictaphone out to listen to it making a transcript of what happened on her laptop. It would give her a chance to go over Abhay's answers and memorize them off by heart.
Pia began to press play and typed the interview herself admiring the sexy tone of Abhay's voice. She never tired listening to him. He always held her attention such was the power in his voice. It hurt Pia to know he was all alone in the world. Pia could never inagine a life without her sisters or her parents. They had helped mould her into the person she was now. Abhay had only himself to rely on. It made her heart go out to him. It made her all the more determined if not adamant to cement herself permanently in his life.
Finally Pia finished her interview only the tape continued playing over to Damon and Abhay's conversation revealing more than she'd bargained. Pia listened carefully at Abhay warning Damon off of Elena. She belonged with Stefan but it was the next line that kept Pia's attention on red alert. Damon was a vampire. So was Stefan. The girls knew about them and still accepted them for what they were. Was this some kind of sick joke? Pia continued to listen in with renewed interest in what Abhay had to say? Pia knew this had to be a hoax. A joke. It shocked Pia to the core when Damon revealed Abhay was a vampire and felt a little disheartened to find Abhay wanted her as far away from his as possible. He felt like she was just a kid. She deserved better than him. Who the hell did he think to assume or presume she was better off without him? Pia fumed feeling Abhay's comments sting about her not being on the same wavelength. It didn't bother her that she'd heard he was a vampire. Just the thought of him discarding any chance of them being together away just because he felt she wasn't on par with him. Oh this did it. Pia was royally p****d off now. She had to find out the truth for herself. Was Abhay really a vampire? Were Damon and Abhay just goofing around or is this their reality? Vampires were fictitious characters devised to entertain the masses so how could this be possible? Pia was not going to submit this report till she knew the whole truth.
Pia stopped the Dictaphone placing it in her bag bumping into Jeh on her way out of College.
Pia smiled at Jeh looking a little distracted-Oh Jeh the report is all typed up but i have a few photo shoots to do with Abhay then its all yours.
Jeh looking at Pia with a little curiosity-Tumhaari dyaan kaha hain Pia? Kahan Ko gayi ho? Tumhari chehra itni uthri huwi hai kyun?
Pia dismissively answered-Dekho Jeh meri paas time nahin hain tumaari saath batein karro. Mujhe kahin jaana hai. College katam hogayi hai aur main... Jeh mujhe jaana hai. Bye. Kal baat karenge.
Jeh watched Pia rush off looking like she'd seen some ghost mentally noting Jao Pia. Tumhaari Duniya palat ne wali hai.
Pia drove it to Abhay's place where he was surrounded by Misha, Bonnie, Elena, Damon and Kabir. She was eyeing Abhay with keen eyes stalking both Abhay and Damon to see if there really was a change in them. What was their truth? Were they joking about or if this was all happening. She didn't know what to think. Abhay showed no sign of being dead. She had to find out. It was killing her not knowing. Could she ask them out right or test it out somehow?
Elena turned around to see Pia looking a little troubled-Hey Pia! U finally made it. So how was the big date with Sid?
Pia met Abhay's gaze blushing lying through her teeth-Oh it was more than i'd imagined. He is very charismatic i'll give Sid his dues. We've actually got another date planned for tonight. He seemed very keen and i thought i might as well go for it.
Bonnie saw a little hesitance in Pia's voice-Are U sure this is wise Pia? I mean you've only had one date. What's the rush? And in the rule book a girl should not date the same guy twice in a row. It spells trouble.
Pia exclaimed her shock-There's a rule book?
Bonnie and Elena nodded-Yes!
Pia frowned-I don't get it.
Elena explained softly- Never kiss a guy on the first date. Don't go the full hog on the first date either. Don't call the guy let him chase U. Don;t see the guy two nights in a row. Make sure there are a few nights gap.
Abhay felt himself go tense watching Pia's pale face. Something was worrying her and he wanted to know what it was? So she liked Sid? It made him feel very jealous of this guy getting between him and Pia. Abhay corrected himself that there was no Pia in his life.
Pia watched Damon painting Abhay's walls and Misha was grinning away like she knew about some secret as she weakly choked out-Then i guess Sid and I are not meant to be. It doesn't matter anyway. He's older than i am and a little more mature. I need the experience. I don't feel out of my element when i'm with him. Sid's not superstitious or into rules and regulations. He prefers to break them than follow them. I like the way he thinks.
Bonnie wanted Pia to elaborate on what went on in her date-So are we going to have to beg for details? Spill it sister.
Bonnie took a break with Elena and Misha placing themselves on the sofa ordering Damon to get them refreshments-Be a love and fetch us some drinks and a snack please.
Damon rolled his eyes giving the girls his annoyed look-Do i look like your servant? (Bonnie was about to answer when Damon lifted his finger) Don't even answer. Abhay dude this is your place U go be a good host and give the girls what they want.
Abhay shook his head-Nuh huh! We go together. Kabir mate U want to join us?
Kabir was more interested in sitting next to Misha-No bro U guys go i want in on the gossip.
Abhay scoffed-U mean U want to be near Misha. So cute.
Kabir gave a sheepish look to Abhay-One day you'll understand. Till then huh? (Winks at the guys)
Abhay was more concerned about this growing fascination Pia had with Sid. He reminded him of his brother. Abhay couldn't shake of this feeling. Pia was describing him just the way Sid was. Cheeky and a little daring. The worst feeling Abhay had was when Pia told the girls Sid wanted to take her on an expedition of some sort and she'd agreed to it.
Damon kept Abhay from breaking the glass bottle of Coca cola-Abhay chill bro. I'm sure Pia will be fine with the dude.
Abhay was in a dark mood now-I am trying my best to keep her away from my world Damon. U know who she reminds me of. If Sid is back then i want to know what he is up to? Maithali is dead. Or as good as dead. I need to know who this Sid is. For her sake as well as my own sanity.
Damon mused-Well you're not going to find out if you're here now are U? Do what i do and follow her. How do U think i've been keeping Elena safe all these months?
Pia back with the girls wished to ask them about Damon being a vampire but her sister was there with them. Misha was hard to get rid of. Pia was going to have to get ready for her date with Sid soon. All this to make Abhay jealous was proving to be very time consuming not to mention hard work.
Pia to Misha-We have to get going Misha. (To Bonnie handing her a note she'd written) Call me ok. Its important.
Bonnie opened the note to read what Pia had written stating. I know about Damon and Abhay.
Bonnie kept a straight face-Pia.
Pia grabbed her bag watching Abhay and Damon return. She had to get him alone somehow. She had to know what the truth was. Pia looked very sad making Abhay feel torn. He could sense all was not well Pia.
Abhay eagerly motioned to Pia handing her a drink-U going already?
Misha enthused-Hot Date.
Damon helped-Can't U cancel?
Misha cut in-No way. The guy is loaded and charming. Why should Pia ditch him huh? Its not like she has a better offer.
Damon gave Pia a serious look-Pia be careful. This guy might not be what he seems?
Pia sarcastically shot back-Kind of like U guys huh? Not what U seem?
Abhay and Damon felt the chill in Pia's voice in unison-What do U mean?
Pia left with Misha.
