Suhaani's SAJAN STORIES

Hello! I am Suhaani from CID and Miley Jab Hum Tum forums! Many of you know me as Drilabh, Suhaanishergill and Suhaani.cid. My current name is Suhaani.cidmjht.

The proposal- a SAJAN OS

He was in a bad mood. She was not here. He just didn't know what to do. He felt sick in his stomach. In a few minutes, the party host would be announcing the dreaded news. He hated it. He was wished she was here.

It all started with a fight- a big misunderstanding. She was his sister's flatmate. It was hatred at first sight. He had just got out of a broken relationship. She had just moved in with his sister. They hated each other.

Then his dog was the reason for the first step towards getting to know each other. She was passionate about dogs, long walks, drives, food and so many things that he was fond of.

They slowly became each other's support, best friend. 3am friend, confidant and shared a great trust and understanding. She was a chirpy and bubbly girl who used to listen, giving him more than a patient hearing. He was a balanced a person who didn't like to be what girls always expected him to be. They became inseparable friends.

Days passed and she slowly developed feelings for him but didn't tell him. She was scared of losing him and preferred to keep their friendship intact. It was his sister who discovered the truth, but was forced to keep it a secret.

Entered another girl. Sheena was Daddy's daughter. She wanted Samrat and only Samrat. Her daddy asked Samrat to work with him, the intention was to marry him to Sheena. When he came to know this, it was late.

Gunjan was gone. She wanted to visit her sister in the UK. But her real reason was to run away from her pain of losing him forever. He didn't know he had feelings for her, He was missing her, and also came to know about Sheena's daddy's plan of having a party where he would announce and officiate the engagement. H ebegan to dread it, and missed her so much it hurt.

It was his sudden emotional swings which convinced his sister that he was also in love. But she was sworn to secrecy. She felt the pain her brother had, but wanted him to confess to her.

It was at the venue of the party. He felt sick in his stomach. In a few minutes, the party host would be announcing the dreaded news. He hated it. He was wished she was here. Suddenly his sister came and as a last resort asked him if he loved Chashmish. He was surprised and then it hit upon him. But he didn't want to destroy the friendship. His sister told him about Gunjan's feelings and he was stupefied.

The party started. And he saw Gunjan suddenly. Gunjan had decided to come and face the world as she saw her best friend get engaged. He felt relieved as he saw her. He felt emotional. Just then Sheena's silly gang of girls whisked him away. Sheena's daddy asked him to come forth and stand beside Sheena. Sheena came beside him with her giggling friends.

His friends. His sister. His family. They adored Gunjan. They looked at him, with expectations. He listened as Sheena's daddy began his announcement. He glanced at Gunjan's pale expression.

Sheena's daddy said- Toh Samrat Shergill. Tell them the name of the lucky girl you want and love.

Samrat looked at him, then at Sheena who reminded him of his past girlfriends. He then turned towards the guests. Gunjan was almost slinking away to his sister's behind.

''I love and want no one but-''

Sheena came forth, expectantly, showing her huge smile.

''Gunjan Bhushan.''

The room grew silent. Sheena's smile vanished and she looked at him then at her Daddy.

''Daddy!''

The daddy came forward- Samrat?!

Meanwhile Samrat's family and friends were smiling and grinning away. Gunjan stood rooted to the spot. She stared at him. He stared at him.

Then with a resolute determination, he walked off in her direction, ignoring Sheena's wails and her daddy's ''Samraat!?''

He came up in front of her. She looked at him. Their eyes looked deep into each other. Then she smiled. He smiled.

''I love you Samrat''

''I love you Chashmish''

They took each other's hands.

Then the couple walked away, at an equal pace, proudly holding their heads high, happily giving each other stolen glances.

The End

A SAJAN ONE SHORT ROMANCE SCENE

(BACKGROUND--Due to circumstances Sajan had gotten married. Mayur are already married and are expecting a baby. Mayur had finished their studies and are now working. Benji, Dia, Suhaani and Adhiraj are in their third year of college. So are Sajan. Due to some circumstances, Samrat had decided to marry Gunjan, with a promise that he, his father and his sister will take care of her and her education and well being.

For sometime Samrat avoids Gunjan despite being her boyfriend then husband. He is scared of hurting her as well as imposing his wishes on her against her will. Gunjan had already accepted him but can't convince him. Mayur and others try explaing to him and try to settle everything but something is missing between Sajan, even though they fully love and respect each other.

One night the gang plans something and on a pretence whisks Sajan away to the Shergill farmhouse)

My scene begins here.

The gang is by the pool. Mayank and Nupur are observing Sajan. Nupur is sitting on a pool chair, eating her plate of grapes and grape juice that Samrat brought her, telling her that in her state she had to have something. Mayank is sitting by her side, pretending to be busy with his phone. Both were looking at Sajan and whispering.

Nupur- By god Mayu, Suhaani inti dere kyon kar rahi hai!

Mayank- Pur, shaant raho. Abhi abhi woh aa jayegi!

Nupur- Agar humaara plan theek thaak nahi hote hai toh main.. main... main is plate poori khaaloongi!

Mayank- By god Pur, shant ho jao!

Nupur- Mayu! Tum bhi na!

(She made a face and continued eating, her eyes on her sister and brother-in-law. Mayank sighed, thinking that Nupur in her state was worrying too much.)

(Near them, Benji and Adhiraj were pretending to be busy with their plates of food. The tables at the side where food was kept was a perfect place for a secret discussion.)

Adhiraj- Benji, sirf mujhe pata nahi hain plan kya hai. Bata na!

Benji- Abay, tu Uday ki tarah har baar kyon poonch rahe ho! Kaha na, tumhara aankhon ki saamne hoga yeh plan.

(Just then Uday joined them Uday is also in the last year of college.)

Uday- Taiyaar ho?

Benji- Haan haan!

Adhiraj- Kis liye?

Benji- Uff! Tere toh... Kair chhodiye! Chal bro, Mayank aur Nupur ke paas.

(Leaving Adhiraj behind at the table, Benji casually walks to Mayur, while Uday walks off, winking.)

Benji- Dude! Nups!

(Mayur looked up and Benji winked. Nupur gleefully looked towards the door of the house behind, where her sister Dia stood. The sisters exchanged a wink. Mayank grinned and gave his thumb up sign. Suhaani appeared and nodded at Dia, who then gave a gesture.

Benji walked back to Adhiraj while Mayur continued doing what they were doing. Meanwhile all eyes fell on Sajan. Samrat was lying on his pool chair, his eyes closed, listening to his ipod. Gunjan was pensively sitting at the poolside, her feet in the water, her gaze elsewhere. Lost and unhappy, Sajan were in no mood to chat or eat.

Nodding at Suhaani, Dia walked up to Gunjan)

Dia- Gunz!

Gunjan- (Looking up, startled) Dia?

Dia- Gunz, please mere saath tumhaari kamre mein aa jao! Mere dress mein kuch gadbad hain, aur Nupur ko iss haalaat mein disturb nahi karungi. Please help kar do!

Gunjan- Okay Dia.

(Gunjan smiled and got up. Glancing at Samrat with a sigh, she followed Dia into the house. Minutes later Dia appeared and nodded. Suhaani winked and walked to her brother. )

Suhaani- (Her hand on Samrat's arm) Bhaiyya!

Samrat- (Taking off his ear plugs)- Haan?

Suhaani- Bhaiyya, tumse kuch kehna hai. Akele. Please mere saath aa jao!

Samrat- O okay! (He looked around) Gunjan kaha hai?

Suhaani- Shayad kitchen main...

Samrat- O...

(He followed his sister. The moment he got into the house, the rest of the gang followed at a close distance, observing the siblings going into Sajan's bedroom)

Sajan's room-

(Samrat entered to see his room lit up with candles, diyas and small wall lights. His bed was strewn with red roses. At a side was a table with chocolates and two glasses of wine. Moonlight was streaming on to the floor of the verandah, with white and red curtains gently flowing in the night breeze. Samrat turned around to see the door shut. He went to it, knocking.)

Samrat- Suhaani!

Suhaani- Bhaiyya! Mein toh andar aane waale thi1 Lekin hawa mein darwaaza bandh ho gaya! It is stuck!

Samrat- Uffo! Aur ab mein... (He got interrupted by a sound coming from the bathroom.)

Suhaani (From outside)- Bhaiyya! I decorated the room for Adhiraj! Lekin ab darwaaza bandh hain! I wanted a help from you! Ek kaam karo. Intezaar karo! Carpenter ko bulaongi. Kal subhei.

Samrat- Kya!

Suhaani- Sorry bhaiyya! (Suhaani slunk away from the door, having locked it. The gang exchanged high fives and went off to the poolside.)

(Samrat turned towards the bathroom door and opened it to see Gunjan, frantically knocking the door.)

Gunjan- Samrat! Tum!

Samrat- Chashmish, tum yaha?

Gunjan- Dia ne bandh kar diya! (She told him how Dia brought her here and told her she did the room for benji and needed her help, and forced her to hide in the bathroom.)

Samrat- Kya? Lekin Suhaani ne Adhiraj ke liye kya!

Gunjan- What?

(Samrat told her)

(Sajan then looked around. Embarrased, they look away from each other. Then Samrat suggested that they go to sleep. Gunjan suddenly decided to go the bathroom. Seeing his wife going in, Samrat took his shirt, shoes, socks and belt off, as it was hot. He went to the verandah. Immediately, some sprinklers were turned on, and Samrat saw Uday's shadow slinking away. It seemed to rain. He got wet, his slip and jeans getting drenched. He closed his eyes, his hands going through his hair.

Meanwhile Gunjan in the bathroom stood before the mirror. Her eyes were misty. She was confused and hurt. Looking around, she saw a small black dress belonging to Dia. Suddenly it struck her.)

Gunjan- Yeh sab humaare liye tha! Dia aur baaki sab humaare liye itna kiya! Aur yeh dress bhi rakh liya Dia ne! (Looking at her reflection, her expression changed) Ab tum dekhna Mr. Samrat Shergill. Mrs. Gunjan Shergill kya cheez hai!

(Samrat was still at the verandah, getting wet from the water of the sprinklers, when he turned around and stared. His Chashmish came out in a speghetti strapped one-piece short black night dress. Her hair trailed on one shoulder, leaving the other bare. Her spectacles, earings and necklace were intact. Wearing high heels, she walked slowly towards him.

He stared at her and then held out a hand. She took it and he knelt down and kissed her hand. She smiled shyly and winked. He got up and slowly pulled her into the artificial rain. She joyfully let herself get wet, whirling around slowly. He stared at her, mersmerised.)

She stopped and looked at him staring at her. Her wet face, hair and shoulders seemed to attract him. He turned his gaze away, embarrassed. She looked at him shyly and softly asked him what happned.)

Samrat- Er... K-kuch nahi. (He turned away, about to walk off)

Gunjan (Catching his arm)- Ruko. (She came foward and turned him towards her) Baat kya hai Samrat? Itna pareshaan kyon ho? Kya hua?

Samrat- Kuch nahi Chashmish... (He looked at her wet face. He slowly moved away a strand of wet hair fromher nose. Gently cupping her face with his palms, he gazed at her. She gazed back, her hands on his chest, her fingers gripping his slip. He smiled, mersmerized, and kissed her forehead. Proceeding, he kissed her cheeks slowly. Then taking off her specs, he kissed her eyes. She kept her eyes closed, her sheeks blushing, her lips quivering. Suddenly he became conscious and drew back. She got startled. Samrat turned, his expression showing guilt. He closed his eyes. Gunjan stared at him as he went off and sat down on the sofa, frustrated.)

Gunjan (Thinking isse kya hua)- Samrat? (She went and sat down beside him.) Kya hua tumhe?

Samrat- Kuch nahi. Bas main tumhe force kar raha hoon. Pehle shaadi uske baad yeh.. Nahi. Mein tumhe abhi... (He trailed off)

(Gunjan drew a sigh, turned his face to her and cupped his face)

Gunjan- Maharaj Samrateshwarji, yeh sab toh meri wishes se khilaaf nahi hai. Tum itna kyon soch rahe ho!

Samrat- Tum sach mein shaadi ke liye taiyaar thi?

Gunjan- Samrat. Kya tum koi aur thei? Apne boyfriend ko shaadi ki hai! Tum itna kiya hai mere liye, Samrat. Kya tum sach mein mujhe shaad nahi karne chaahte thei?

Samrat- I was not ready. Tum jaantei ho. You were not ready too. Lekin tumhe bachaane ke liye shaadi kiya. Tumhe kho nahi chaahta tha.

Gunjan- Samrat. Tum bhi na... Mein kaha tumhe kaha ki tumhe badalna hoga. Mein kab kaha ki mein tumhe shaadi karne nahi chaahti thi. Haan hum dono tayaar nahi thi. Lekin humaara rishta aur pyaar toh do saal ke liye banchuki hain. Haan, bahut jaldi ho gaya. Haan hum taiyaar nahi thi. Lekin yeh shaadi ki faisla zaroori tha...

Samrat- Sorry Chashmish.

Gunjan- Tum sorry kyon bol rahe ho Samu?

Samrat- Chashmish mein force...

Gunjan- Shh..

(His face still cupped in her hands, Gunjan slowly kissed his forehead, then his cheeks. He became startled. She rubbed his nose with her nose. He smiled and looked away blushing. She smiled naughtily and handed his glass of wine. He took it, and gazed at her. She took a sip of her wine, her eyes on her husband. They gazed at each other. Then smiling naughtily she licked her lips, winked and got up. Moving her wet hair from her nape, she walked up to a music player and switched it on. A seductive song started playing. She turned around and started a slow and seductive dance. He stared, astonished and gaping. She danced while moving up to him. She let herself fall into his lap. One arm around his neck, she made him take a sip of his wine. He could not take his eyes off her. She got up and continued dancing, beckoning him to join her. Catching his arms, she dragged him to the balcony where the sprinkler were still in operation.)

Gunjan- Whee! I Iove it! (Arms wide apart, she whirled around)

Samrat- Sapne mein bhi kabhi nahi socha... Mere Pari aise hi hai... (He looked up to the sky, his arms wide apart, closing his eyes.

(Sajan got drenched once more)

(Then, laughing, Gunjan stopped whirling, and stood there happily. Her face up, eyes closed and arms apart, she let the water drops drench her further till she started shivering.

Suddenly Samrat looked at her. He felt all his control slippilng away as he stared at her hair, neck and lips. He walked up slowly to her...)

At the poolside-

(The gang is enjoying the food and drinks and playing a game, chatting away and enjoying.)

Benji- Yaar, I hope it all works well!

Mayank- I am sure. Sab theek ho jayega. Samrat hai na?

Nupur- Mein toh kehti hoon ki ek baar hum dekhte hai kya ho raha hai.

Dia- Nups. Paagal ho gaye ho kya? Abhi yeh dono ko bandh kamra mein akele akela cchodna better hai.

Suhaani- Nupur, fickar mat karo. Ek raat ki romance, aur sab theek ho jeeyega!

(The gang smiled and looked up at the balcony, hoping everything goes well)

Sajan room/balcony-

(Samrat crept up behind Gunjan. She felt his presence and became shy, her arms around herself. He got closer and closer till she felt his breath in her neck and ears. Samrat smelt her hair, nudging his nose in her hair. His arms went around her, locking her arms as well. She closed her eyes, nervous and full of anticipation. He kissed her nape, letting his lips linger on to her neck sides and shoulders. She tried resisting, but he held her as he continued kissing. He then stopped and stepped back and turned her around roughly. Gunjan gasped as she turned around, her hands on his chest, her fingers gripping his wet slip. He stepped forward and she kept going back, his arms still around her waist. Till the wall of the balcony came up. She shyly moved her face away, as Samrat kept one arm on the wall, and kissed her nose. Rubbing her nose with his nose, Samrat again kissed her neck and lingered on. She stood there, her eyes closed, her chest heaving, full of nervousness.

Samrat stopped and stood back a little to gaze at Gunjan. In the moonlight, her wet face looked innocent and sparkling. He took his other arm off and tapped her nose gently. She blushed.)

Samrat- Chashmish. You are simply beautiful.

(Gunjan looked up at him, her eyes slightly coy.)

Samrat- Chashmish. I love you.

Gunjan- Sammo, I love too. (She suddenly hugged him, her face and arms buried into his chest. He hugged her back, one arm around her hair, the other around her waist. He kissed her hair and smiled. She smiled, her eyes misty.)

Samrat- Chashmish...

Gunjan- Hmm?

Samrat- Kya hum humaare rishta poora karein? Humaare suhaag ki raat?

Gunjan- Pooch ne ki kya baat hai Samrat.

Samrat- Permission do toh main...

Gunjan- Permission zaroori nahi hai. (Sajan broke their hug. Taking his hands with hers) Samrat, shaadi kj pehle tum bahut kuch karte thei. Mauka milte hi tum mujhe kiss bhi kiya. Aur aaj tum...

Samrat- (Putting his finger on her lips) Shh darling. Bas... (He then stroked her lips, chin, nose and forehead. She closed her eyes shyly. He took off one earing then the other. Going around her, he started stroking her arm with one hand and unhooked the necklace with the other hand. She shivered.)

Samrat- Thand lag raha hain?

Gunjan- Nahi toh!

(Samrat stepped up to her front and offered his hand)

Samrat- Dance with me?

(Gunjan smiled and took his hand. They then began to dance. He pulled her to him, his arms fully around her waist. She kept her arms on his shoulders. They did a slow dance, gazing at each other, getting even more wet, in the moonlight.)

Gunjan- Salsa karein?

Samrat (Nodding)- Of course! (He suddenly whirled her around, and they began their favourite couple dance that had fetched them awards at college.)

(At last they stopped and started laughing together. The sprinklers had run out of water and the moon was behind the clouds. The time on the clock read 11.30pm. There was not sound around. Sajan went up to the rails, holding each other. The poolside looked deserted and the gang could not be seen)

Gunjan- (Smiling) Samrat...

Samrat- (Interrupting her, his finger on her lip again, his eyes sparkling) Andar chalein?

(Gunjan blushed and looked away, her face reddened. Samrat smiled and took her face towards him)

Samrat- Kya hua?

Gunjan- Bas.. aise hi... hummein.. er...

Samrat (Chuckling)- Chash-mish! Haha... You are so cute! Itna bholei bhaalein...

Gunjan (Changing her expression to her flirting mode)- Accha? Toh chalein? (Catching his slip and bringing him foward) Kya hua? Itna late kyon?

Samarat- (His eyes widened) Er? Haan...

(Sajan started laughing again. Then he took her hand and clasped it. his hands)

Samrat- Chashmish, tum sach mein bol; rahe ho na, ki tumhaari koi tackleef nahi hai?

Gunjan- (Keeping her other hand on his) Samrat, kya tumhe bhi koi tackleef hai?

Samrat- Nahi (Smiles)

Gunjan- Toh? (Smiling back)

(He stepped foward, his arms going around her waist again. His face came closer. Gunjan closed her eyes, her lips parted, her fingers digging into his slip. Samrat blew away a strand of hair off her face and gave a peck on her lip testily. Her eyes still closed, he gave a second peck and then looked at her. She opened her eyes and looked up at him. H e smiled at her and kissed her nose. She smiled. Sajan then kissed on lips, their arms around each other, their bodies close to each other.

Then breaking apart, Sajan walked towards their room, holing hands. He suddenly stopped and she looked at him. He picked her up his arms. Gunjan became startled and then smiled loving at him. He gazed at her as he carried her to the bed. He lay her down, and she lay down on the pillow, her eyes closed with nervousness.

He got on the bed after switching off all the lights but the bedside light, and blew the candle lights out. He crept over her, as she looked at him, her chest heaving. They then began kissing.

Her fingers grabbed the bed sheets, as he proceeded from her lips to her neck, shoulders and arms. Then as he unhooked her dress, she attempted to switch off the light.

But he stopped her. And then began the night of bliss.

A SAJAN CONFESSION (SAMRAT'S POV)

(Background- Gunjan, when she entered college first, was extremely shy and scared. Slowly Sam began a friendship with her while having his girlfriend around. Then on a student exchange programme Gunjan had to leave for London for nearly a year. When she is back, she is slightly changed- She is happier, friendlier and very simple and sweet. Her cousins and sister and jiju and Benji greeted her very happily, and her friends also welcomed her. But for Samrat there was a sudden change of feelings. As he gazed at her laughing and hugging everyone, he began to reflect...)

(WRITTEN COMPLETELY IN SAMRAT'S POV)

[[ I am writing it in Hinglish, Hindi and English mix... so plz dont mind...]]

As she entered the college, she looked very angelic. Her million dollar smile, as her sisters Nupur and Dia hugged her, was worth watching. Why am I wishing she was hugging me! Samrat dude, kya ho gaya hai tumhe! Tum koi besharam ladka nahi ho! Yet she struck a chord in my heart. I dont know what it was that caught my fancy.

She was wearing a red-green-white anarkali suit. Her hair dropped off her shoulders, in a messy curly way. Her new rimless specs highlighted her pretty nose in a cute way. Her pretty lips had the beautiful colour of her favourite pink roses. Her skin looked so flawless and smooth... Uff Samrat, kya soch rahe ho!

Oh no, she caught my gaze. Quick, dude, look away! O dear, she is coming my way. She stood in front of me, and I stood there, gazing and gaping at her beautifulo eyes and eyebrows. She said hello and I managed to croak away a hello.

Benji my friend, who knew so well how I missed her, once again and unwittingly, came to my rescue. He led her away to a special welcome gettogether we had planned for her. Once again I was left to my thoughts. Evereyone walked on, and Mayank stood beside me, asking kya hua dude? Tum aa rahe ho, na?

I nodded and told him I would join. Suddenly Aparajita came up to me. She was now my ex girlfriend. She looked askance at Gunjan going away and looked at me. So she is back? I told her to lay her hands off my Chashmish, and walked away from her.

I entered the room where the little welcome party was held. I looked at Gunjan, and everything around me blurred. She was looking gorgeous. Nupur and Uday had put on the cake mixture all over her beautiful face. Tasty... Uff, dude stop it!

I looked away, my eyes closed, trying to get those nagging thoughts away fro my mind. Main sharif hoon. Woh meri dost hain, bas, aur kuch nahi!

I looked up and gazed at her again. She went to a washroom in the other side of the room, and came out again, her face wet, water dripping from her hair strands. I felt rooted to the spot, stupefied. She looked as if she was a bright, fair, lovely angel who lights up my heart and face whenever she looked at me. She was smiling, and I remembered our friendship days.

How she loved watching me play basketball and encouraged me to improve my grades. How I helped her regain confidence and positivity after her traumatic past, much before she came to Excel. How we were poles apart yet had similar likes and dislikes. How we went for long walks with my dog, thos moonlit beach nights. How she shone in the moonlight. How I loved taking pictures of her.

She looked so innocent and simple, as she talked with her family and friends. Nupur was by-god-ing away, Mayank was nok-jhoking away with her, Dia and Benji were sharing an interesting joke together. Uday was eating and eating and eating. Gunjan was talking with her classmates.

I looked at her. There seemed to be a huge number of butterflies in my stomache. I looked at her- Her face, her charming and sweet smile, her lips, her eyes, the way her hair was tucked behind her ears, her little bangs and curls, her beautiful arms and super soft hands, her fingers entwined with her dupatta. Her specs which were not distracting. Her soft laugh. Her figure, height and stamina.

I gazed on her, a deep longing in my heart. A huge block of stone seemed to be inserted into me.

I looked at her with strange feelings. Chhee Samrat! tum itni besharam ho! Yeh lust bandh karo! What will she think of you!

I looked away. Reluctant. Unable to think. Kya karun. Kiske saath baat karun. Sab busy hain.

I turned around and slipped away, not wanting my feelings burst out and get written all over my face.

I walked down the corridors to the basketball court. My team wasw practising, and they asked me to join in and teach them a new trick. To take my mind off, i went to play. I bounced and bounced and gave a shot, one after the other. My mind was buzzing. My heart seemed to leap. My energy was boundless. I could not concentrate but I wanted to get rid of my confusion. Perspiration came. My Tshirt got drenched in my sweat and I looked like a shinning shooting star.

My team mates dared not to dribble the ball away from me. They sensed I was in a very disturbed mood. I was furious at myself for no reason. I felt irritatible. I felt empty and numb.

I stopped at last, panting and wheezing. One of my mates threw a water bottle and I caught it and drank the cold water. Splashing it on my head and face, I turned around to see her gazing at me. Her expression was odd. Her eyes looked very different.

A sudden thought crossed my mind- Does she feel for me? Has she missed me? What are her thoughts for me?

Chhee Samrat! Why will she think like you! She takes me as a friend! Of course she must have missed me!

I forced a smile and walked up to her. She looked suddenly shyly at me, then away, blushing pink. I asked her Kya hua?

She smiled and then looked at me. Nothing, Samrat...

I loved her voice. As she smiled at me, I found myself gaping and getting lost again. Quickly control yourself, Samrat! I smiled. She took something from her colourful jhula bag, and took my wet hand. I felt emotions, warmth, feelings, confusion rushing to my head like a flood, at her single touch. She kept a box in my hand. For you Samrat!

I smiled gratefully and opened it. Gajar ka Halwa!

She nodded, smiling simply and innocently. I felt my heart pumping and beating fast and rapidly. I felt faint as I again gazed into her eyes. Somehow she was also gazing into my eyes, her expression lost and seemingly different. We gazed at each other for how long I dont know. But I was loving it. She didnt say anything too. I looked at her, and a deep slab of stone in my stomache seemed to attempt to get out of my throat, out of my mouth.

I felt music in my ears. I felt only her presence. It seemed only her face was visible and nothing else. I never felt like this for any girl before. I suddenly felt the urge to take her in my arms, to hug her, to make her mine, to pamper her and make her smile, to kiss her, to protect her.

Suddenly a finger clicked in between us, and Chashmish and I broke our gaze. She blushed and looked away. I felt embarrassed and saw Nupur, Dia and others, standing there and observing us, with suspicious looks. They quizically looked at us, at each other and then again at us.

Chashmish and I just smiled. I felt her smile to be a half hearted one- as if she was not happy to be disturbed.

Kabab mein haddi, I thought to myself. Mayank and Benji looked at me deeply and then at each other- they seemed to have guessed something. Nupur and Dia decided to go home and take Gunjan with them unless I dropped her. I jumped at the offer, teasingly telling her that my car and my bike missed her a lot. Gunjan blushed and asked Aur tum? She suddenly stopped, as if controlling herself. I looked at her and then out blurted I missed you Chashmish. I missed you every day, every moment. I missed dropping you off. I missed you look at me playing basketball. I missed our night walks. I missed you.

She looked at me. We were suddenly oblivious to our surroundings. She said I missed you too Samrat. I missed you so much that it hurt me.

I suddenly felt brave and bold, as if a spirit within me was lifting me up. But I tried to hold back my temptation.

Her eyes became teary and she looked away, blinking back some tears.

I looked at her, trying to understand her. I suddenly found that this time I could not read her mind, could not understand her expression. The others stared at us,

Then Mayank, my friday man Mayank, said- Dude, why not take a lambi walk on the beach. It is nice and cool and it might even rain! He winked at me. Nupur's expression was even more funny and mischeivous. Her eyes twinkling, she suggested that Gunjan and I can go for a beach walk and then have a dinner date out. Dia also got into the mood- Arre guys why not lets all go! Benji, Dodo and I would love to check out a new plaza and shopping centre there. Nupur, tum aur Mayank can join us for your Honeymoon shopping! Kyon Gunjan?

Gunjan looked flustered and blushed even more.

I smiled and laughed. Okay guys lets go!

After so many days she sat on my bike. She was so light and looked so frail and vulnerable as she sat behind me. I was suddenly resolved to handle my bike with care. She seemingly hesitatingly kept her hands on my shoulders. I felt another flush of warmth and butterflies in my stomache and more music in my ears. But I was in control of myself. Dia and others got into Dia's car. They were to follow us. I gave them a thumbs up sign. Nupur called out Sambhaalke jaana Samrat! I nodded and smiled. Then I zoomed off. Chashmish was silent and from my rearview mirror I often glanced at her expression. She was looking my head. No she was looking at me. Why? Did she feel something for me? What?

Again I was forced to brush away my thoughts and tried to concentrate on the road. She suddenly seemed to be even more precious to me. As we waited at the signal, she smiled at my small quips. Then her soft voice told me that she was very happy to see me again. Again I became flustered. Again I forced myself. Yet I felt my ego and boldness increasing. I was losing my focus and all my reasoning. Gosh! What is happening to me!

Somehow I managed to reach the beach, with her safe and sound, her helmet on her head intact. I smiled at her and locked my bike. The others joined us, and then left us to go their way. They all winked at me while Gunjan was not looking, and I realsed they were guessing my mood. Did they feel it's alright? So I am not wrong? Is it... I shook my head, and looked at Gunjan. Chashmish smiled and asked me in her sweet voice. Shall we start walking to the icecream corner? How is Bozo? Bozo was my dog. I smiled and relpied that Bozo was rocking.

Then as Chahsmish walked on, I stayed back a bit and looked up. Dude. Help me!

We walked. We were silent, trying to think of something to say. I asked her about her stay in London. She told me about her stay, some new friends, her life there. I asked her if she enjoyed. She replied that she missed her family, her friends, her town, her college. She didnt mention me though. Suddenly I felt a bit disappointed, as if all the airbubbles in me have got burst like balloons.

Then she dropped the bombshell. She missed my company the most. She always thought of me, my philosophy and outlook. She always remembered me, whenever some random guy would try to befriend her.

I looked at her. I felt exactly the same about her. As if I could not bear to be away from her. As if I treaure her company the most. As if I want her. As if I might lose her again if something happened to her. As if someone might take her away from me.

I looked at her deeply as we walked. She was lost in her thoughts as well. She often glanced at me, and this time I didnt look away. Neither did she. We stopped. Around us not a soul was seen. Only sands behind us and the sea in front of us. We faced each other and gazed on each other, uninterrupted.

Then I felt a voice within me. It told me to say something. Yet I held myself back. What if she thought I was being cheap. I feared rejection by my best friend. I tried to gauge her own expression which seemed troubled, full of mixed emotions. Her eyes had that longing look. Her lips were quivering. It was as if she wanted to say something but could not bring herself to it.

Go for it Sam!

Go for it Sam!

Sam!

Samrat!

Lots of voices in my head, specially those of Mayank, Bneji and Uday flushed through my head. Nupur's By god Samrat, tum bhi naa!!

I looked around. No one was visible. I realied these were voices. Dia's voice now came. Come on Sammy! You are in love! I am so happy for you!

Love? Love? Matlab mujhe pyaar ho gaya? I suddenly got surpised at myself. Chashmish was gazing at me, oblivious to her surroundings. Did she feel the same for me? Did she fear rejection from me?

No my dear sweet Chashmish... I looked at her more keenly. Then I asked her if she was okay. She nodded and looked away a bit, as if suddenly self conscious. Samrat...

Haan Chashmish...

Samrat... Chalo... Icecream... She became hot and flustered suddenly and slowly turned towards the sea waves. The waves drencehed our feet. The evening sun was still up. The breeze was blowing her hair off from her face and shoulders. Her anarkali suit and jhula bag were flowing in the wind. She closed her eyes, taking in the sea smell. I gazed at her.

It started drizzling. She looked happy suddenly. She laughed and whirled around slowly, her arms wide apart.

Chashmish... I croaked.

She stopped and looked at me.

Mujhe tumse kuch kehna hain.

She turned fully towards me, suddenly looking worried and nervous.

I looked at her. She seemed to get scared. Samrat?...

Emboldened, I knelt down on one knee. She stepped a bit backwards, suddenly a sea of emotions on her face. She turned away from me slightly, her chest heaving, her eyes fearful and frightened. As if she could not believe herself. As if she was afraid she was dreaming. Her hand nervously clasped around her jhula bag. Her face and hair got wet in the drizzle, and she shivered in the breeze.

Samrat... Please...

I decided to go on. I began and told her about my feelings that got developed during her absence. She glanced at me and then looked at the sand behind me. I then told her how I missed her. I told her sbout my feelings. I told her how I felt so empty withput her, how she always completed me. She looked surprised, as if not believing. She shut her eyes and then opened them, pinching herself and then realised that I was talking to her.

Then I said the magic words. I love you Chashmish. I felt my words echoing. All the pebbles and butterflies got out from my stomache. Do you love me Chashmish? Main tumse pyar karti hoon. Kya tum mere zindagi ki hilsa banogi?

She stepped backwards and looked flustered. Tears sprung out from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Lips quivering even more, she was breathing hard. I slowly got up and stepped foward, took her hand. I clasped it with both my hands and I asked her if she would be mine.

She bit her lip a bit and then she muttered something I could not comprehend.

Kya Chashmish? Maine nahi suna...

She suddenly threw her arms around me. I was taken aback.

Then I wrapped my arms aroun her. She was so slim that my arms met. I nestled my face on her shoulder, into her hair. I shut my eyes, taking in her perfume. Her seemingly tiny frame clung to me, her one arm around my neck, her hand in my hair, and her other arm was around my back. She hid her face into my shoulder.

After what seemed like eternity, we broke apart, and she spoke out loudly. I love you too Samrat. Main bhi tumse pyaar karta hoon!

I felt as if I have entered the heaven. The evening sun turned golden, everything around us seemed to be in gold and blue and green. The waves rumbled and roared. The drizzle became fat raindrops.

We hugged once more. I looked up once, thanking the dude above in my mind.

My mind and heart were now in peace. Chashmish is now mine. I love her. she loves me.

We are in love at last.

THE END

I LOVE SHEENA - A Very Silly OS

''I love Sheena''

''Who is Sheena?''

''A girl''

''Dude, I know it is a girl's name. But who is she? What about Rhea?''

''She is coming to my house tomorrow. She is Suhaani's friend.''

''What will happen to your date with Rhea and plans with your Chashmish bestie?''

''You will see.''

Benji rolled his eyes at Samrat.

''Dude. You are mad. You are dating Rhea. You have made Gunjan a very special friend, and now you are after this Shee-ee-na! Uff.''

''Dude. Just wait and watch.''

Benji left, exasperated. Already Samrat's relationship with Rhea was crumbling. Then he was getting insecure about a certain Narnab hovering around Gunjan. And now he was thinking of some girl, a friend of his sister.

The next day came. At college, Benji began to hear that Samrat had broken up with Rhea the previous night. Lines of girls were crowded around, waiting to see who would Samrat choose for an upcoming dance. Benji didnt know what to make of it.

''Hi Benji!''

'' Hi Sam. Yeh kya suna hai? Rhea aur tum ab saath nahi ho!''

''Haan yaar. Woh kissi aur pe nazar hain''

''Aur tum iss Sheeena ki par...''

''Haan dude. Rhea aur mere koi compatibility nahi hai yaar. Par ab mere sach mein pyar ho gaya hai''

''Dude. Narnab...''

The two saw a tall, very good looking guy coming towards them.

''Hi!''

''Hi!''

''Samrat, Benji. Kya tum dono mujhe help karoge?''

''Sure!''

''Haan sure!''

''Mujhe pyaar ho gaya''

''Kis se?'' Samrat asks very quickly, and Benji notices his tense body language''

''Pehle promise karo.''

''Promise.'' Samrat was waiting impatiently for his answer.

Narnab said something in mute, and Samrat and Benji looked at each other shocked.

''Kya?!''

''What?!''

Samrat and Benji's expressions froze, and Narnab looked at them innocently.

That evening, a small party was on. Suhaani was greeting everyone. It was her home party and she was glowing with happiness. She smsed her father that her Bhaiya is going to propose to someone this evening, and she was very happy.

First to come was Narnab with his sister Anjie. Then came Benji, a date by his side. Suhaani kept a lookout for someone, and Benji greeted her.

''Hi!''

''Hello! Wassup?''

''Suhaani. Yeh Sheena kaun hain?''

''Hain koi! Mere dost!'' She smiled naughtily and happily.

''Aur Sam usko pyar karte hai!''

''Tumhe pata hai?''

''Bas ladki ko nahi dekhi...''

Suhaani was about to say something, when in came Rhea. Suhaani and Benji sympathissed with her over the break up. She brushed it away and smiled. Benji assured her that someone nice will come to her.

Then entered Gunjan with her cousin Shyam, who looked like a snake, and sister Khushi.

Suhaani greeted the siblings and her smile widened.

Gunjan was looking her best. Spaghetti strapped red and green anarkali suit, her hair messy and curly, her specs replaced by contact lenses, Gunjan looked very pretty.

Narnab and Anjie came up to them and greetings were exchanged.

Suddenly the lights dimmed, and Samrat entered. He was in black, looking very handsome. Rhea looked away, and noticed Narnab's gaze at her.

Narnab walked to her and asked her to move aside, as he wanted to say something. Gunjan and Anjie gave Narnab a smile, as Rhea followed Narnab to a corner. Khushi noticed a guy called NK and went to talk to him. Shyam looked around, got bored and sat down, gazing at nothing.

Benji looked around expectantly but found no new girl or any girl whom he didnt know. He was puzzled. He nudged the Shergill siblings and asked them where this Sheeena was.

The brother sister smiled and winked at each other. Then Suhaani went to the centre of the room. Clearing her throat she called for attention. Everyone gathered around.

Suhaani- Today I am going to introduce you to my best friend Sheena. Ladies and gentlmen. Today also my brother will propose to the girl that he loves. He has fallen in love, and I am well aware that this girl also loves him but silently. I told my brother when I found out, and he realised that this time he is truly in love. But before that let me call in Sheena!

Everyone clapped and Benji and others looked towards the door, expecting a hot girl. Instead, to everyone's amazement, Suhaani whistled- Sheena! Come here girl! Come here to Suhaani!

A servant opened a door, and a small alsatian puppy sauntered in, lazily. Then she looked around sniffing, saw Suhaani and walked towards her.

Mens' eyes were rolled. Benji gaped. Women seemed to sigh out of relief, but cooed.

Suhaani lovingly picked up Sheena the dog.

''You people must be wondering why this name! Actually this puppy is Bhaiya's and my gift to the girl that he loves. We love Sheena, and this name we chose because her mother is called Eena, and her sisters are called Meena and Deeka. Bhaiya chose Sheena as her name. Now our best friend will be the lucky girl's best friend!

Everyone looked at each other. Single women came closer, hoping with thier fingers crossed.

Samrat smiled. Narnab and Rhea came back, hand in hand. Narnab turned out to be in love with Rhea, and saw the break up as a chance. So Samrat asked Suhaani to invite Rhea as well.

Gunjan winked at Narnab and turned around to see Samrat sstanding in front of her.

Samrat...

Haan Chashmish...

Tum...

I love you Chashmish.

His words rang out. Everyone gasped or became delighted. Benji's confusion cleared and Suhaani was delighted.

Samrat bent and knelt down. Gunjan was stunned. She looked around shy. But Samrat gently took her hand and asked her to be the love of his life.

Sheena came and nuzzled Samrat. Then she looked up at Gunjan, wagging her fat little tail. Gunjan got melted and her eyes became teary.

I love you too Samrat.

The whole room clapped. Sajan tood in front of each other, gazing, then hugged. Then Samrat picked Sheena up and put her in Gunjan's arms. Suhaani and Benji came foward and hugged them.

Then Sajan left the room, hands in hands, Sheena in Gunjan's arms.

The End.

Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh

It was three years after the accident. Jiju and I thought Di was dead. We blamed him for the accident. How I wish we never left him in the hospital. How I wish I didnt treat him that way. How I wish Jiju didnt slap him. Jiju lost a wife and me a sister. When I came back from Morena, Dia asked me why I was avoiding him. She was very angry and told me that Di was her sister as well, and he was her friend. It was just an accident. I tried to explain my point of view, but even Uday Bhaiya and Benji told me that I was really stupid.

When Jiju saw Di, I didnt believe him and when he supported Jiju, and along with Dia, Uday Bhaiya, Benji, Suhaani, Adhiraj tried to help Jiju, I stood apart, stubborn that DI was still dead. How I wish I didnt snap at him that night, hurting him to the core.

The day Di came to us, the day Dhruv's real character was revealed and the day Di turned out to be our Nupur, he disappeared. He just left after bringing Di to us. Bui and Bauji came to see Nupur, and were very happy. He had called them. Jiju's mom also came. He called her. That night everyone got together. He stood apart. He smilingly said he has to leave.

Next day, he was out of reach. Concerned, Jiju, Uday, Benji and Adhiraj went to his place. The house was locked. Raka, his domestic help was leaving. He informed them that Samrat had left the previous night. He had left a letter to each one of us. To Jiju he wrote that he was going away. He was happy that one big family has got together. He felt like an outsider. He asked Jiju to look after Nupur, me, Dia and Uday. To Nupur, he left a sweet, brotherly letter. To Uday and Benji and Adhiraj he had left cards, thanking them for being with him. To Dia, he left a nice letter telling her that she was his rock support through his dark times. To Suhaani he left a private sibling letter. And to me he left a box of memories that he had stored during the three years.

Di is angry with me and Jiju for having blamed him. Dia, Uday and Benji are heart broken. Jiju is full of remorse that he could not apologise. Suhaani is mad at me.

And I resolved to find him. Years are passing by. Bui has asked me to get married to Niel. I could not. I went to every city of India, every little town and village. I went abroad. He was nowhere. Three more years have passed by. Di was now a mother to twins. Dia and Benji were married due to Chachaji's pressure. Uday is still a brahmachari. Suhaani and Adhiraj are now parents as well. They all are helping me find him, specially Jiju.

I decided to take the help of Exel College. Past students. Saxena sir. Annie and Jacko. Even Sheena, Purab, Cj, Ranvijay. They are all willing to help. My favourite students Rohan and Ash are also helping me. Everyone who knows him are helping me. But he is nowhere.

I decided to appeal after five more years, through this song. I posted it online, in papers and everywhere.

Behti hawa sa tha woh
Udti patang sa tha woh
Kahan gaya usse dhoondo
Behti hawa sa tha woh
Udti patang sa tha woh
Kahan gaya usse dhoondo
Hum ko to raahein thi chalati
Woh khud apni raah banata
Girta sambhalta masti mein chalta tha woh
Hum ko kal ki fikar sataati
Woh bus aaj ka jashn manata
Har lamhe ko khul ke jeeta tha woh
Kahan se aaya tha woh
Choo ke humare dil ko
Kahan gaya usse dhoondo
Sulagti dhoop mein chaaon ke jaisa
Raigistaan mein gaaon ke jaisa
Mann ke ghav pe marham jaisa tha woh
Hum sehme se rehte kooein mein
Woh nadiya mein gotey lagata
Ulti dhara cheer ke tairta tha woh
Baadal awara tha woh
Yaar humara tha woh
Kahan gaya usse dhoondo
Hum ko to raahein thi chalati
Woh khud apni raah banata
Girta sambhalta masti mein chalta tha woh
Hum ko kal ki fikar sataati
Woh bus aaj ka jashn manaata
Har lamhe ko khul ke jeeta tha woh
Kahan se aaya tha woh
Choo ke humare dil ko
Kahan gaya usse dhoondo

In total 12 years have soon passed by. I was forced to marry someone I didnt know. Bauji and Bui forced me. Di and Jiju and others could not save me. I had failed to find him. He was gone. Whose Chashmish shall I remain. I could not even tell him that he had a daughter, whom I hid from everyone. When everyone found out, they became mad at me. Only Jiju supported me.

I cant forgive myself now. I really cant.

[EDITED]

12 years have now turned into almost 19 years. My daughter is now 18. She has got into Excel. Her name was Tanya Shergill. I am now divorced, my husband being a wife-beater. Jiju and Di were away for two years and are back now. Their sons are Rahul and Raj, Di's fav Srk-character-names. Dia and Benji are here, with no children, but loving aunt-uncle. Suhaani's daughter Sam or Samraati is at a school near Excel with Raj and Rahul.

I have realised that he wont be found. My hopes are still there. But there is no trace.

It was Tanya who was still searching for a dad she never knew. She was very angry with me and Jiju for some years when she heard how her dad was treated, and how she was hidden from everyone by me. Later she accepted my folly, on Di and Dia's intervention.

She is still searching. Day and night she is tracking, finding out, contacting and doing everything to find him. Her cousins are supportive of her attempts.

As she came to her third year, Tanya realised that her dad might not be alive anymore. I broke down that day when Tanya found out about an accident happening on a highway that very night he disappeared. He is given up for dead.

Di and Dia still had anger and resentment against me and Jiju. Jiju is now full of guilt, whenever Sam is remembered. Uday and Benji miss him terribly. Suhaani is still cold with me.

I remembered him everyday. I prayed for him everyday. I cried for him every single night. Bauji is now dead. Bui lived with me and loved Tanya dearly.

Tanya soon took up a job, having graduated. 23 years have passed by now, and all our hopes have died by now. Shilpa aunty suggested that we forget and forgive, and hold a puja.

Tanya's POV-

Wow. Finally a job. Away from everyone. How i wish I had Dad at this very moment! I have now got a job in Pune. And as a last minute holiday, am off to Darjeeling with my friends.

I have just arrived. The hotel is beautiful and ancient. The scenery is gorgeous. My friends Tina, Meena and DIna are now planning, and am staring out from the window. Dina hits upon an idea to visit a Home for aged, owned by her cousin. They drag me away.

We stroll through the beautiful building, where old people enjoy their stay, among the lovely hills. Suddenly I noticed a blind man sitting and dribbling a basketball. I was astounded. A blind, elderly man sitting and dribbling a ball smartly. I stared at him and saw a ward going up to him and handing him a small packet of chips, my Nupur Mausi's favourite chips. The old man exclaimed, ''By God, my fav chips, Dude!''

I stared and stared and stared. The blind man was Samrat Shergill, my dad, the man who never knew I existed, the man i never saw before. But that is my dad, smiling away.

A picture fell out of his lap. The ward boy asked and dad replied that the picture was of an Excel college gang. My feelings erupted and I called out DAD!

[NORMAL NARRATION]

Nupur, Dia, Benji, Mayank are at Gunjan's house, chatting in one room. Rahul, Raj and Samraati are laying the table. Suhaani and Adhiraj and Uday are bringing in the food from the kitchen. Tanya had called earlier, saying she had an important person to bring in the evening. Gunjan was helping Shilpa and Bui and now everyone was ready. Tanya called Raj, saying she was at the door and now bringing in a person. Everyone got up, their eyes towards the door. Tanya entered with someone.

For a second nothing registered, as they stared at the blind man. He was satnding, proud, happy and emotional. Then, it hit upon them. Simultaneously-

Nupur- Sa-samrat!

Mayank- S-s-sam!

Benji, Uday- SAM!

Dia- Sammmy!

Suhaani- Bhaiya!

Adhiraj- Samrat!

[EDITED]

Everyone stared at him gaping at the man standing before them.

[Gunjan POV]

I stared at him. I stood there, shocked, as everyone rushed foward, bringinging him, fussing over him. Everything seemed inaudible to me, and my eyes were on him alone. I was shocked that he was blind. I was shcoked to see him in a poorly state. Tanya walked up to me and cired- Mum? I asked her and she told me where she found him. My inside crumbled down as I heard. He had survived that accident somehow and was brought to the home for rehbilitation. He becamne blind.

Jiju had tears in his eyes. He looked at me and I at him. We both felt terrible for the horrible things we had said to him and done to him. Di and Dia and Suhaani were fussing over him. Benji and Uday were at his side, hugging him and talking away. Adhiraj stood at a side. Bui and Shilpa aunty also stood there in a shock.

Tears fell down my cheeks as I looked at him. He was asking after everyone pleasantly. But he didnt mention my name at all. Di suddenly blurted out that I was here as well. At that he looked blank and said ''who is Chashmish? My Chashmish died when you went away from us, Nups'' The ground below me fell. Nupur assured him that I was his chashmish but he refused. ''My chashmish would have told me about my daughter.'' I looked away, ashamed.

Tanya sat next to her father and said '' Dad please forgive her! For my sake!'' He refused to have anything to do with me. He put his hand on Tanya's head and told her that he would rather live away from everyone. He had a new life, and he was happier. I started crying as I heard him. I walked away and no one stopped me, even him, even Tanya.

As months passed by, he totally avoided me. He hated me. I missed the very Samrat whom I loved. Di and others had tried to patch up things then stopped on his insistence. He grew close to Tanya, and she to him.

Years passed by. Tanya was now a married mother. Her cousins were also married with children of their own. Di, others and I were growing old. He was still there, but not keeping well.

One fine day, Tanya went to his room. She found him sleeping peacefully. The sun was streaming onto his face through the window. There was a photo of me and him on his chest.

He was dead. Our world broke down. My world broke down.

[Tanya's POV]

Mum went into a deep shock after Dad died. Maussi and others were shocked as well, but as Dad was not keeping well, it was expected.

After some months, my little one went to Mum's room to find her unconscious on the floor. We rushed her to the hospital, where the doctor said she is no more.

Mum has died peacefully as well. I felt alone. Bad that my parents didnt make up before they died.

Later my husband set up a small home, and the house was named, dedicated to my parents.

It was titled SAJAN.

T H E E N D

A Niel-Gunjan-Samrat confrontation scene

When Niel came to know that Gunjan loved Samrat, he felt it was too late. But he kept his hopes open when tension appeared in Sajan relationship. The Sajan situation worsened and he decided to help Gunjan by whisking her away to an undisclosed location, and even told her not to tell anyone including Samrat.

Then soon Samrat learnt the truth. On his visit to Gunjan, the Sajan fight happened. Samrat went away disheartened. My scenes start here.

My take.

As soon as Gunjan saw the laptop photos, she was shocked. She thoughtfully went to her makeup van and quietly sat down. Her eyes became teary.

Suddenly Niel entered.

[personal note. No offense to fans, but i felt the character niel spoke rather incoherently. No wonder Gunjan never... anyway going ott]

Niel- Gunjan. Good news. We can resume shooting. Chalo, naya shooting schedule aaj se.

Gunjan- Niel. Mujhe tumse kuch baat kehna hain.

Niel- Kya? (he went closer. she moved backwards)

Gunjan- Tum kissi ladki ko pyar kartein ho?

Niel- (After much hesitation) Haan. Kyon?

Gunjan- Laptop ke saamne tum tumnhaara pyar ke baarein mein baat kar rahe thei.

Niel- O woh.. Haan.. Kuch ladki ki photos..

Gunjan- Haan. Maine dekhliya.

Niel (Shocked)- Kya? Tumhe pata chala?

Gunjan- Kya issi liye tum mujhe acting pe force kya?

Niel- Maine soch liya tum khush rahoge.

Gunjan- Maine acting nahi karne chaahthei thi. Sirf Di aur Samrat ke liye maine acting le liyi. Tumhaare liye nahi.

Niel- Gunjan. Tum mera bachpan mein mujhe itna help ki. Toh maine socha kyon nahi tumhe help kar doon!

Gunjan- Lekin mujhe koi help zaroorat nahi tha! Main jaise thi waise khush thi! Aur haan, Kya issi liye tumne mujhe yaha laya ho? Sab ko beena bataye?

Niel- Maine socha Samrat zyaada tumpar...

Gunjan- Samrat aur mere beech mein kya hotein hai woh humaara maamla hai, tumhara nahi. Tumhara koi hak nahi tha humaarein life mein interfere karke!

Niel- Gunjan. Samrat to manzoor hai tumhaare baarien mein. Paisa bhi de diya.

Gunjan- Kya!

(Niel told her everything. By the slip pf his tongue he even said he had slapped Samrat)

Gunjan- Kya! Tum... Tum meri Samrat ko thappad bhi maara!

Niel- Samrat tumhaari layek nahi hai. Woh kya hain bolo Gunjan. Chashmish bulakar bulakar tumhaari zindagi barbad ki hain. Gunjan, woh ek unstable ladka hain. Bahut tej se jagda kartein hain. Broken family se aaya hai woh. Woh kya hain jo mera nahi hain? Main tumhe dekhbal karunga. Tumhe star banaaonga!

Gunjan- (Growing bitter and bitter) Chup! Ek aur baat Samrat ki khilafh kaha toh... Tumhara himmat! Tum kya jaaneti ho Samrat ki baarein mein! (Tears atrted streamingdown her face)

Niel- Gunjan. Sirf tumhaare liye yeh film hain. Sirf tumhaare liye maine Samrat ko tumhaari life se nikaalna koshish kar raha hoon! (He came foward and held Gunjan but she resisted) Gunjan. Please. I am really happy tum uska asliyat bhi dekha!

Gunjan- Asliyat? Kaisa asliyat?

Niel- Woh neswpaper...

Gunjan- Ek minute ek minute. You are crossing your limits Mr. Niel Oberoi! Shayad tumne usko force kiya tha! Shayad tumne uss reporter ko bheja!

Niel- Haan. Main nahi chaahta tha ki woh humaara time waste karein. Main chaahta tha woh tumse door jaata hai.

(Gunjan started remembering all the times when she misunderstood Samrat. Then the scenes where she fought with him before he left came before her eyes)

Niel- Gunjan. Main tumse chaahta hoon. Main tumse pyaar karta hoon. College mein aaya tha sirf tumhaare liye. Role tha sirf tumhare liye.

(Gunjan grew disgusted)

Gunjan- Shut up! Just shut up! (She sat on th e dressing table weakly, sobbing bitterly) Sirff tumhaare verjade mein apne pyaar ko kho diya, apne best friend ko kho diya hain...(Sobbing she looked at Niel) Kyon? Kyon tumne aisa kiya! I hate you! Tum meri trust toot diya! Main tumhe sirf ek dost jaise maanti thi!

Niel-Gunjan.. (He went foward and touched her. She was unaware of his hands on her shoulders) Gunjan... Please... I am sorry... But I can't live without you!

Gunjan- Nahi... (Sobbing) Nahi... Niel, tumne mujhe dhoka diya! Main iss film nahi karungi. Nahi karungi. Samrat meri zindagi hain, meri pehla best friuend, meri pehla pyaar! Uske verjade main itna khush mila! (Niel was stroking her. His one arm was around her, the other arm wiping her tears)

Gunjan- (Suddenly realising)- Yeh kya kar rahe ho! Chhod do mujhe! Mujhe tumse koi baat nahi hain. (She pushed him away roughly)

Niel- Gunjan. Tum mujhe saalon se jaantei ho. Aur Samrat ko bas kuch mahino ke liye!

Gunjan- Toh? Toh kya? Iska matlab nahi hain ki tum mere aur Samrat ke beech kuch bhi karo! I hate you!

Niel- I love you!

Gunjan (Getting irritated)- I am going. Mujhe shooting nahi karne hain.

Niel- Woh unprofessional..

Gunjan- Tum bhi unprofessional behaviour ki Niel! Tum bhi! Main jaa rahi hoon!

Niel- Ruko (He roughly caught her) Mat karo aisa! Kyon usko itna pyaar kartein ho tum!

Gunjan- Mere haath cchodo Niel.

(Niel held her hands, and pushed her to the wall. Holding himself close to her, he attempted to hug her. She got scared and started screaming at him. Niel held her and started kissing her cheeks then neck. Her hands bled as he held them roughly. He pinned her against the wall and tried to force himself on her. She kept sobbing, calling out Samrat's name.)

(Suddenly the unit people entered and forced Niel away from Gunjan. Gunjan bitterly began to cry. Her make up artists held her, and she suddenly sprung up and began to hit at Niel. The unit people took Niel away and Gunjan plopped into a chair, sobbing and dialing a number on her cell, shivering.)

(Samrat was on his bike on the highway, when a phone call came.)

Hello Mayank?

Samrat, tu kaha ho?

Main highway par hoon. (He told him what happened in brief)

Samrat mera baat sun!

Kya?

Jaldi waapus jao! Niel lost his control and...

And?

Tumhaara Chashmish ko physically hurt kiya!

Kya!

Jaldi jao aur waapus lao usko! Sambhaalne jaana! Main, Uday, Benji waha pahuchnewaalein hoon. Nupur aur Diya ko phone kiya tha Gunjan ne...

(Samrat hung up and turned his vehicle around, rage pounding in him.)

(Gunjan was crying bitterly. Her palms were bandaged. When Niel attempted to come for an apology, her make up artists and the AD prevented him. Samrat soon reached and so did Mayank, Uday and Benji. This time no one dared to stop Samrat, as well as his friends, as they rushed into the shooting area. The reporters had already come, trying to find out. Uday and Benji took charge while Mayank went to talk to a producer. Samrat rushed into the make up room.)

Chashmish!

(He saw a sad broken down girl, her tear stricken face and reddened eyes looking up at him. Gunjan whirled around and rushed into him arms, sobbing bitterly. Closing his eyes, his arms around her, he held her till she quietened down.

Mayank rushed in to announce that they had come to take her home and that her contract will be cancelled. Samrat wanted to talk to Niel but Mayank advised against it. Gunjan was still holding on to Samrat.

She lifted her face and told Mayank that she had no interest in acting, that she would rather not file a case against Nile. He had just lost control that's all. Mayank refused and told her he will get a restrain order, that Niel had against Samrat, turned against Niel himself. Gunjan was shocked that Niel had even a restrain order against Samrat.

(They brought Gunjan back to Bhushan house. Dia and Nupur rushed to Gunjan and hugged her. Gunjan was much calmer and still held Samrat's hand. She looked at him and asked for a private talk with him. The couple went to the terrace. She turned around and locked the door)

Samrat- Chashmish.. I am sorry!

Gunjan- (Her hand on his lips) Shh... Kyon baar baar sorry boltein ho tum! Sorry toh mujhe bolne do Samrat... Har baar mein tumhe galat samjhi... (He tried stopping her) nahi Samrat. Mujhe bolne do aaj. Samrat, I am really sorry! (She held her ears) I misunderstood you. I didnt let you say anything! (Her tears sprung up)

Samrat- (Gently taking her hands and kissing them) Chashmish. I am sorry ki main tumne akele chhod diya!

Gunjan- Nahi Samrat. Tumhaara koi fault nahi hain. Woh main thi. Main bahut buri hoon. Tum kaise aur kyon mujhe itna pyar diya?

Samrat (Grinning)- Chash-mish! (He tapped her nose) It is alright Chashmish! I love you!

Gunjan- I love you. I love you. (She started sobbing, holding his shirt, her head leaning on his chest)

Samrat- (Holding her and kissing her head) Chashmish.. Rhono mat... (He led her to the swing and sat her down. Her head on his shoulders, her arm around his arm, Gunjan told him about what happened)

Samrat- Mujhe pata tha woh tumse pyaar kiya hain.

Gunjan-(looking up pained and startled) Kya? Tumhe pata tha?

Samrat- Haan Chashmish. Mujhe pata tha.

(A knock came on the door. Mayur was leaving. They had just settled their fight when Gunjan's call had come and so were at Bhushan's house since then. Now they were leaving. GuNur hugged each other, and Nupur told Samrat to stay back at the house for Gunjan's sake. Soon Diya and Uday left for their beds. Benji went home. Dinner was late. It was almost late at two pm, when Sajan came back to the terrace to finish their talk.)

(They were sitting on the swing, quietly observing the moon. Their arms were linked together. Suddenly Samrat got up, startling Gunjan)

Gunjan- Samrat! Kya hua?

Samrat- (Taking something from his pocket) Chashmish. Aankhei bandh karo...(Smiled)

Gunjan- Theek hain... (She closed her eyes)

(She waited and heard him say 'open your eyes now)

Gunjan-(Opening her eyes and getting startled) Samrat!

(Samrat was kneeling down in front of her. She got up and he took her hand. Opening his other hand he offered her a beautiful platinum diamond ring)

Will you marry me Chashmish?

(Gunjan was shocked and started crying)

Chashmish?

Haan Samrat! Main tumhe shaadi karungi! (She nodded, biiting her lip nervously)

(Samrat got up from his knee and put the ring on Gunjan's finger. Sajan looked at each other and hugged. She was continuously crying, he stood there comforting her. Then he broke the hug, cupped her face with his hands. She drew closer to him, her arms around his waist)

Chashmish, I love you.

I love you too Samrat. Thank you. Tum mere zindagi ki sabse bade meherbaan ho. Sirf tum hi ho jo mere khush samajhtei ho... Thank you for forgiving me so easily!

(He kissed her forehead, then kissed her nose, then her cheeks. Her nails dug further into the collar of his shirt, her eyes closed. He then kissed her on his lips. She responded fully and the hugged him tightly. He picked her up and carried her to her room.

They lay on her bed side by side, in each other's arms. He stroked her hair, holding and hugging her tightly. She held on to him and soon fell asleep. He looked at her asleep and smiled. Taking her specs and shoes off, he coverd her, kissed her on her head, switched off the light and went down stairs to the sofa Dia had prepared for him. He then fell asleep.)

(The next day was Sunday. Newspapers held the stoy of what a film director did to an upcoming actress. Meanwhile Mayur and Benji landed up at the Bhushan house. Samrat was still there. When the gang came to know of Sajan's engagement, they pretended (as in the show) that it was a joke but were thrilled.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Uday went to open the door. It was Niel, accompanied by an officer, a producer and the AD. Everyone stood still. Nupur and Samrat looked at each other and glared at Niel. Benia and Uday stood around Gunjan, who disgustedly looked away, her arms folded. Mayank went foward and asked Niel why he was here.

Niel- I have come to apologise to Gunjan. pata nahi kyon, but I lost control.

Mayank- Mere saali tumse koi baat nahi karengi. Aur haan. Aaj se woh Samrat ki mangekar banchuki hain. Agar tum uski piccha nahi cchodtei ho toh main tumhaara khilaafh FIR file karunga. Bach gaye ki Gunjan koi case nahi file kiya!

Niel- Mujhe sirf ek baar milne do!

Mayank- Nahi.

Niel- Please. Main sirf apologise karunga aur phir chalein jaunga!

(Mayank glanced back at the gang. SaNu, Benia and Uday looked at Gunjan who looked at Mayank, looked away thinking and then sighed.)

Gunjan- Theek hain. wahi kharein ho jao aur bolo.

Niel- Please yahaa nahi. Bas main tumhara dost hoon. Aur yeh tumhaari ghar hain. Please!

Mayank- Theek hain. Hum doosra kamra mein jaa raha hoon. Lekin Samrat yaha rukega.

(Niel was about to protest when Maysnk gave his bloodshot glare. Niel stopped.)

Nupur- Oi bhaisaab mister. Zyaada line cross mat karna, samjha kya?

Dia- Tumhe jo bhi kehna hain, Sammy ke saamne kehna hain. Bas.

Producer- Mein aur AD yaha aayi Mr. Shergill ki paise waapus dene ke lie. Yeh officer bahar khaarenge.

(Samrat was given back his money. The producer, AD and the officer left and Mayur, Benia and Uday left the room. Samrat came foward and stood behind Gunjan.)

Samrat (Emboldened by Mayur's presence)- Niel. Jo kehna hain, baat yahi khatam karo.

Niel (Coming foward)- Gunjan. I am very sorry. I lost my self control. Main tumhe shaadi ki proposal dene chaahta tha. (A glare from Samrat) Gunjan. I still love you and I will wait for you. If you ever need anything, I am there for you. Please let us be friends?

Gunjan- You have totally hurt me physically and disgusted me. Mere pass Samrat hain, Jiju hain, mere bhai aur behenai hain. Yehi mere liye kaafhi hain.

Niel- Maine samjha. But people do change (Looking at Samrat) I have a feeling ki woh tumhaari zindagi barbadt..

Gunjan- Bas! Phir se tum shuru kiya? Yahaa tum maafi mangtei aaye ho. Maine mere jawab de diya. Mujhe iss baarein main aur koi jawaab nahi hain! Samjhe?

Niel- (Taking a deep breath) I am sorry... Main chaltein hoon...(He gave a longing look at her and then noticed her ring finger)

Samrat (Noticing his gaze)- Goodbye Niel Oberoi.

Niel- Goodbye.

(That evening a breaking news bulletin came on TV - Niel Oberoi, disgraced film director, got rejected by an upcoming actress and has committed suicide. He was found hanging in his room by his assisstant. )

(The news bulletin shocked everyone, and caused a distress to Sajan. But they moved on soon.)
