First of all, I am very very sorry for writing an OS after long time. I know that I haven't completed my previous FF and SS, but I am really busy. I will try to continue them too very soon. So here I go with this story. Its slightly different from current track in serial.
From NK's point of view:
It was 3 a.m. I twisted and turned over my bed trying hard to sleep. But I couldn't. The images flashed across my mind from the day I entered Raizada Mansion. How I met the entire family, how I and Anajli Di teased Arnav by calling him Nanav, and then how I met Khushi.. and later Payal and her family. When I met Khushi, I felt like I have found someone alike. She was full of life. Always in Happy Go Lucky mood.. Always Smiling with the hint of happpiness reflecting in her eyes too.. I liked her instantly. Somewhere our wavelengths matched and we became friends. Sometimes I used to do mistakes intentionally while speaking, just to see smile on her face when she corrected me. 😳
And as i started observing her more, it struck me. I did notice the awkward silence between Arnav and Khushi. I heard their conversation after Arnav's party. He was scolding her for dancing and enjoying in the party when she had just broken her engagement with someone. I could see that she was really hurt. I wasn't having any clue as to what had happened with her, but seeing her in pain made me upset. I was about to interrupt, when she answered back making Arnav go silent. She rushed to go home, but I stopped her. I convinced her that I'll drop her home. And when I came back, furious Arnav marched towards me. He scolded me for not picking up the phone. Even though he was very angry, I did notice the worry in his eyes, but for whom? Khushi? Was he worried to know if I dropped her safely? I couldn't figure it out. 😕
Then later Sangeet dance preparations started in house. The dance teacher suggested that Arnav and Khushi should dance together. To which Arnav denied and said that I would replace him. The thought of dancing with Khushi made me really excited. And Khushi started teasing Arnav by scolding me as Arnavji and Chhote when I did mistakes while dancing. I could see that Arnav was getting agitated. But Khushi didn't stop. And i missed one dance step while holding Khushi's hand and she whirled around and was about to fall but Arnav held her in time. She was in his arms and their eyes locked with each other. I hate to admit, but they looked perfect with each other as if they belonged to each other.
Later they got apart and Arnav again scolded her. I felt really bad for Khushi. Its really difficult to care for a person when you know that one step ahead will make you fall in love with them and one step behind will ruin your friendship with them. I was standing on the edge. I could see that there was something more between Arnav and Khushi than confusing hatred. But what? And how could I betray my heart who had started feeling something for Khushi. I ignored my thoughts about Arnav and Khushi and left everything to God. There was a belief that if we see someone's face on 31st Dec night at 12, then that person always remains in your life, rather he/she becomes your life. And somewhere deep down I really wanted to see Khushi.
So I made execuse to Akash that I can't come with him. But at 12 when I reached Khushi's house, I saw that Arnav and Khushi were already there. Smile automatically came to my face when I saw them arguing like kids. I was amused and almost lost seeing their cute fight. And when I came back to my senses, I knew that I can never be more than friends with Khushi. There is a saying that, The person who loves you the most will do two things extremely.. Openly Hurting and Silently Caring. 😛 It suited them perfectly. They were in love with each other, but both of them were too adamant and stubborn to accept the fact. I need to bring them together. I promised myself and finally I was able to sleep peacefully. 😳
When I was coming down to have breakfast on the morning of new year. The landline phone was ringing. No one was near the phone, so I picked up.
I said, "Hello."
"Hi, I am Lavanya. I just called to wish Happy New Year to all. Please can you give phone to someone in family, Hariprakash.", came a sweet voice.
"Hmm.. I am not Hariprakash, I am NK, Akash's cousin brother. And I am sorry but I didn't recognise you."
"Oh.. Hi NK. Hmm.. I am Lavanya.. I am Arnav's x-girlfriend.", Lavanya said bitterly.
"Oh.. Actually you were talking like you are family. So I asked.. Hmm.. I am sorry.", I said.
"Its ok. I have got love from everyone in Raizada house like my own my family. It was just like.. Arnav and I were not meant to be together...", She paused for a while.
"But now I am fine.", She told that to herself more than me.
"So.. Since when you have come to Raizada Mansion? And how are the preparations going on for Akash-Payal marriage?", She said changing the topic.
"Everything is fine. Hmm.. Can I ask you something regarding Arnav?", I said hesitantly.
"Ya. What happened? Is he fine?" She said instantly.
"No. He is fine. Hmm.. Its just that.. Is there some problem between Arnav and Khushi? They always fight. I don't understand.", I asked her genuinely.
"Oh.. Well, Its complicated. They are in love with each other.. but they don't know. I don't know how much time it will take for them to figure it out.", she blurted out before she knew what she said.
"Hmm.. I mean.. ", She said.
"Don't worry. I had figured that out already. And now you confirmed it.", I said assuring her.
Its was the day for Sangeet ceremony for Akash-Payal Marriage. I announced, "Today, it will be new kind of Sangeet function. On whoever the spotlight stops will have to dance. So everyone is ready? Lets begin.." And spotlight stopped on me and everyone laughed. I started singing and dancing over the song "Sawan si ek ladki.. " from Mujhse Dosti Karoge movie. (Here is the link for original song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VAlV74aArY)
Hey aa ha ha ha, mm hm hm hm, aa ha ha ha
Saawan si ek ladki (I turned around to see Khushi)
Saawan si ek ladki, dhadkan jaise dil ki
Saawan si ek ladki, dhadkan jaise dil ki
Dekhe jiske voh sapne (I came closer to Khushi), kahin voh main to nahin (I asked Khushi raising my eyebrow)
(Khushi was shocked. May be more because I was dancing very well 😉 and Arnav was glaring at me. )
Saawan si ek ladki, dhadkan jaise dil ki
Dekhe jiske voh sapne, kahin voh main to nahin
Saawan si ek ladki
(I sang and danced holding Anjali Di's hand asking her.. pointing towards Khushi.. Di Smiled. And I could see Arnav and Khushi stealing glance with each other.)
Uski ghani zulfon mein kisi ki taqdeer hai (Khushi remembered how she fall over Arnav and Rangoli during Diwali. Arnav remembered how he caressed Khushi's hair after guest house incident.)
Uski haseen aankhon mein kisi ki tasveer hai (Khushi remembered how Arnav was laughing when Khushi had messed up her face with pakode mixture. Arnav remembered how Khushi was jumping with joy when she found silver coins in detergent packet.)
Aata nahin mujhko yakeen par kahin voh main to nahin
Saawan si ek ladki, dhadkan jaise dil ki (Khushi and Arnav were looking at each other intensely)
Dekhe jiske voh sapne, kahin voh main to nahin
Saawan si ek ladki
(Arnav and Khushi's eyelock broke as I slightly hit Khushi's shoulder and asked her)
Yahan vahan kahan kahan jaane rukti hai uski nazar
Vaise to main hoon bekhabar, itni hai mujhko khabar
Koi bhi hai, hai voh yahin (I wisphered slightly in her ear as 'Arnav') par kahin voh main to nahin (Khushi's brown eyes widened with surprise.. not because I said 'Arnav' word properly but because I told her what she was afraid to tell her own heart.)
Saawan si ek ladki, dhadkan jaise dil ki
Dekhe jiske voh sapne, kahin voh main to nahin
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
(I took shocked Khushi's hand in my hand and started dancing with her)
Dekhe jiske voh sapne, kahin voh main to nahin
Haan, kahin voh main to nahin,
Hey, kahin voh main to nahin
(I could see that Arnav was really angry as I was holding his Khushi and dancing with her.)
I whirled her so that she will finally be in Arnav's arms. And again spotlight stopped on Arnav and Khushi. And everyone cheered them to dance.
"Now let me tell you that Arnav Singh Raizada never does anything which is not perfect.. whether its a business deal or this dance.", Arnav said in low voice to Khushi.
Na Hai Yeh Pana, Na Khona Hi Hai
Tera Na Hona Jane, Kyun Hona Hi Hai
Tum Se Hi Din Hota Hai, Surmaiye Shaam Aati, Tumse Hi, Tumse Hi
Har Ghadi Saans Aati Hai, Zindagi Kehlati Hai, Tumse Hi, Tumse Hi
Na Hai Yeh Pana, Na Khona Hi Hai
Tera Na Hona Jaane, Kyun Hona Hi Hai
Aankhon Mein Ankhein Teri, Bahoon Mein Baahein Teri
Mera Na Mujhmein Kuch Raha, Hua Kya
Baaton Mein Baatein Teri, Raatein Saugatein Teri
Kyun Tera Sab Yeh Ho Gaya, Hua Kya
Main Kahin Bhi Jata Hoon, Tumse Hi Mil Jata Hoon, Tumse Hi, Tumse Hi
Shoor Mein Khamoshi Hai, Thodi Si Behoshi Hai, Tum Se Hi, Tum Se Hi
Aadha Sa Wada Kabhi, Aadhe Se Jayada Kabhi
Jee Chaahe Kar Lu Is Tarah Wafa Ka
Chhode Na Chhoote Kabhi, Tode Na Tute Kabhi
Jo Dhaga Tumse Jud Gaya Wafa Ka
Main Tera Sarmaya Hoon, Jo Main Ban Paya Hoon, Tumse Hi, Tumse Hi
Raaste Mil Jaate Hai, Manzile Mil Jaati Hai, Tumse Hi, Tumse Hi
Na Hai Yeh Paana, Na Khona Hi Hai
Tera Na Hona Jaane, Kyun Hona Hi Hai
Arnav and Khushi danced passionately on the song 'Tum Se Hi' from 'Jab We Met' movie as if they were alone forgetting the entire world around them. Arnav was saying his heartfelt feeling through that song. 😳 (Here's the link of original song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=achG2zZTxbA)
I called Lavanya, "I think Arnav and Khushi will soon tell their feeling for each other. As they have finally understood the depth of their relationship. We did it. We actually did it."
"Really, I don't believe it.. Wow NK, you are too good.. I love you.." Said Lavanya excitedly.
"I love you too..", I said smiling and I knew that she understood. 😳
Thats it. Please let me know your feedback. I really love reading your (detailed 😉 ) comments. 😊 Please send me buddy request for getting PM for my future writing work.
