Chapter 4
That Night - In SUV
Rathor was driving the SUV with Arjun on his side. And they were accompanied by Shree and Chotu, sitting at the back. Both Arjun and Rathor were sitting with that usual frown that they have always on their face. But Shree and Chotu did just not like it.
"Hum log itna chup chap kyu baithe hai jaise kisi case par ja rahe hai?" Chotu whispered to Shree.
"Toh teri himmat hai to tu bol k dikha na...Huh!" He whispered back.
"Arre ab tu kyu garam ho raha hai? Arjun Sir aur Rathor sir ki wajah se yaha waise hi bohot garmi hai."
"Arre mujhe Rosh k liye flowers lene the. Lekin jab maine Rathor sir ko bataya to unhone apni taraf se usk liye flowers le liye. Idea Chor! Mera idea chura liya."
"Kya hua tum dono ko? Kya baat kar rahe ho?" Rathor asked looking at them through the mirror.
"Kuch nhi sir. Wo Shree aapse kuch kehna chahta tha.."
"Main...nhi to..bilkul nhi...kabhi nhi..." and then starts saying loudly looking out of the window, "Sir wo Aisha ka ghar aa gaya! Aisha ka ghar aa gaya!"
Rathor stopped the car and Shree and Chotu get down from it. As Arjun was opening the door, Rathor stopped him.
"Arjun!"
"Mera haath chodhega. Mujhe yaad hai jo tune kaha tha." He turns to look at him, "I know tu aur Aisha...tum logo ko Rosh ki fikar hai...but main kya karu. I just can't help it..."
"Tujhe sirf thodha normal act karna hai taki tere all of a sudden over caring hone se wo conscious na ho jaye. I know u can do it!"
Rathor smiles and both get down from the car. They all then move to the house.
A few hours ago
Both Rosh and Aisha were doing the kitchen chores. Roshni was engrossed with the thoughts how she would meet her old pals whom she doesn't remember now. She looks at Aisha, after all these days only talking to her makes her feel alright. But Aisha was looking more tensed then her. She was preparing something and was constantly looking out for perfection in the dishes made so far.
"Aisha! Tum itni pareshaan kyu ho?"
"Pareshaan! Nhi to! Aise hi bas. Wo seniors first time aa rahe hai na. I just want everything to be perfect."
Roshni smiles a bit, wondering the brave lady cop of ETF is tensed thinking about the taste of the dishes, "Sab theek hai except you. Tumhe ready nahi hona hai? Tum change kar lo, ye main dekh leti hu."
"Yaar Rathor sir aur Arjun sir...I mean thodhe strict hai na! Pata nhi accha lage na lage."
"Aisha tum ja rahi ho ya main dhakka maaru! Wo log kabhi b aa jayenge and I want you by my side alright."
"Ja rahi hu! Ja rahi hu! Shit! Maine ice cream bowls kaha rakhe hai?"
Roshni immediately stops her, turns her towards the door holding her shoulders and pushes her out of the kichen, "Main dekh lungi. Tum bas jao."
Roshni then arranges the dinner table and gets everything ready. Someone rings the door bell then. Roshni's heart skips a beat hearing it as Aisha was still in her room getting ready. Rosh took a deep breath, looks herself in the mirror once and then opens the door. As she opens it, she finds this huge man standing in front of her but with that cute childish smile on his face. She was still looking at him and struggling with how to react, but then quickly Shree comes in front and immediately hugs her tightly and enquires about her health.
"Rosh! How are you? Dekhne se to ekdum pehle jaise hi lag rahi hai. "
Rosh just manages to smile a bit and react to that hug but she was happy deep inside her. After all she was not alone, she had friends. Rathor sees Shree and Chotu and makes them move forward.
"Andar chalo. Darwaze par hi saari raat guzaarne ka iraada nhi hai mera."
He takes both of them inside while scolding them for getting overfriendly with Roshni. She turns to find Arjun standing at the doorstep. He had those flowers that Rathor had bought. Though Arjun didn't want to take the credit for it but Rathor forced him to give it to her all by himself.
"Ye..."
"Thank u! Aisha ko acche lagenge..."
"Ye tumhare liye hai..."
Roshni looks at him. The way he used to look at her, talk to her... Every time this man used to give her a strange feeling which she was unable to describe.
"Roshni sir ko ander to aane do. Sir ander aaiye na plz!" Aisha speaks coming near them.
All of them settle down on the couch. Roshni offers to bring coffee and comes with it. She one by one handles the mug to each one of them. As she was going to give it to Arjun, Shree immediately spoke up, "Rosh! Arjun sir to coffee nhi peete..."
"Oh! I am sorry. Main fir..."
But Arjun had already grabbed the mug by then, "Main aaj coffee pee lunga."
"Nhi sir, mujhe chai banani b aati hai. Ye mujhe de dijiye."
Arjun smiles a bit seeing her stubbornness, "I know tumhe chai banani aati hai but its ok. Ye mujhe de do."
They both kept on pulling the mug to their direction. The rest of the group kept alternating their looks between Arjun-Rosh and others. Rathor and Aisha had by then guessed that something bad would happen.
"Sambhaal ke!" They spoke up unanimously.
Suddenly, the mug slipped from Rosh's hand and the coffee fell on Arjun's hand. She immediately got up from her place screaming and shouting.
"Hawww! I am so sorry! I am so sorry! ...Maine bola tha mujhe mug de do."
"It's ok! It's ok! " Arjun said while trying to suppress his pain.
Shree and Chotu smilingly looks at each other, nodding their head, "She's still the same!"
Aisha tries to get up from her position but Rathor quickly holds her hand and didn't let her. When she enquiringly looks at him, he just gestures with his eyes.
Aisha immediately getting his clue speaks up to Roshni, "Roshni sir ko fatafat kitchen me le ja kar ice laga do. Wahi counter k pas drawer me burnol b hoga, wo b laga dena."
"Main?"
"Jao bhi."
Both Arjun and Rosh then moves towards the kitchen.
