Taking out a small box from his wardrobe, he sat down on his bed and started thinking "Iska kya karun???" He sighed... Opening the box, he took out that incomplete peice and stared at it..."Ajj de dun??" He questioned himself... "Nahi!!" The very next second he shook his head in a no pressing his lips together and put it back in the box...
"Ek to jab meri nazar iss pe parti hai mera adha ghanta yehi sochne mein waste ho jata hai k isse khareeda kyun??? " He scratched his head putting the box back in the wardrobe... "Jab isska waqt hoga.. yeh apni sahi jagah pohunch jayega!!" He thought and then turned to see his mobile which was buzzing...
"Aap tab tak aeinge???" He smirked at her message ...
...
She kept her mobile aside after messaging Armaan and then started pressing her dress... It was a simple silver and white anarkali frok...
"Abhi ajaoon?? :P" She smiled biting her lower lip as she received his reply...
"Not a bad idea!! wese bhi bore he ho rahi hun... sab k jaane k baad ghar sanata hogaya hai!" She typed with a grin on her face...
"For a change tum ajj bore ho rahi ho!! khud se bezaar nahi ho rahi?? :D" His next message cracked her up...
"Ajj mausam acha haina!! isiliye..." She typed her next message in reply and then throwing the mobile on the bed, walked forward to hang her dress... Just about five seconds passed by when she again heard the sound of her mobile and an instant smile came on her face... Keeping her dress properly on a side, she walked back towards her bed and sitting down on it took her mobile to read what it says...
"Kuch zyaada he acha ho raha hai!! Agar baarish hui to abhi se bata raha hun kahin nahi le k jaoonga!! " His message was full with warning...
"Aap kya nahi le k jaenge??? Main khud nahi jaoongi..." She was no less than him...
"Chalo yeh bhi set hai! Phir plan he cancel karte hain... Let me enjoy some ghar ka khana!!" Her jaw dropped down as she read his next message and there was smirking at it...
"Huh!! Mujhse fuzul mein itni mehnat karwai... faltu fund mein dress press kiya meine..:(" She messaged him back which made him laugh...
"Mehnat kabhi zaya nahi jaati madam!! Wese i'll pick you up at 7 hopefully.." He finally typed the original message..
"Okay!!" She ended the conversation and then thought... "Itni jaldi kyun??? khair... mujhe kya hai... tayyar he to ho k bethna hai!"
"Wese inhe mujhe irritate karne mein bohat maza ata haina?? Ajj meri turn hai..." She chuckled looking at her red flary dress hanging on a side...
It started raining about 5 in the evening and Shilpa's face fell down with it... "Ye to waqai mein plan cancel kar deinge ab.." She sighed... "Nahi!! mein message kar k kuch nahi poochungi!! khud he karenge jo karna hai!!" She decided and went downstairs where she saw a shivering Muskaan stepping inside the house...
"Enjoyed the rain???" Shilpa shot a mischevious grin to her...
"Yeah!! very much!!" Muskaan spoke out sarcastically and taking quick and long steps went upstairs to change...
"Shilpa!! tum office kab se join kar rahi ho??" Tara asked as Shilpa came and sat down beside her...
"Monday se..." Shilpa told her while taking a slice of apple from Tara's plate...
"Armaan kal ja raha haina??" Tara again asked...
"Hmmm... wese app aur mama saara din bore nahi ho jate ghar pe bethe bethe??" Shilpa asked...
"Bethe Bethe??? bethne ka time kahan milta hai humay??" Tara narrowed her eyes at Shilpa..
"Ummm yeh bhi hai!!" Shilpa nodded while scratching her nails...
"Oye!! Tum aj jiju k saath bahar jaane wali thi naa??" Muskaan asked loudly while stepping down the stairs...
"Araam se... kis cheez ki jaldi hai ladki???" Padma scolded Muskaan who was almost running down the stairs...
"Arre kuch nahi hone wala mujhe mami!!" Muskaan hugged an angry Padma tightly from the back...
"App ka mood kyun off hai??" She asked...
"Yeh tumhari behn haina?? iski harkatein dekho..." Padma glared at Shilpa...
"Uhhh chorein isko... yeh pagal hai!!" Muskaan giggled looking at Shilpa who was making faces... "Ab maine kya kiya??" Shilpa asked...
"Kya kiya??? Tumse chae banane ko bola tha...Paani pak pak k khatam hogaya" Padma glared at Shilpa...
"Wo... wo main bhool gai!!" Shilpa bit her lower lip...
"Tumhari dadi hoti haina!! wohi sahi rakhti hain tumhe... Koi kaam hai jo tumse kahan jaye aur tum na bhoolo..." Padma said between her teeth...
"Uhhh..." Shilpa made a face folding her arms against her chest... She was not liking Padma scolding her like this but it the truth... She was a careless girl!!
...
Namkin si baat hai, har nayi si baat mein
Teri khusboo chal rahi, hai jo mere saath meinIt rained for an hour only but the whether turned a bit calm and cool... Shilpa became happy as she received no message of Armaan regarding the cancellation of his plan and now she was waiting for him dressed in her long Red flared dress...
It was about 7:15 when she heard his voice from downstairs... Coming out of her room, she looked down in the hall and saw him sitting with Padma, Tara and Muskaan... Shashank was still not back from the office...
"Aunty wahan shopping karna is bhool bholaiya!! matlab mujh jesa banda!! I mean Main aur Sid jab pehli baar gaye thai grcessory shopping k liye to hum wahan ja k kho gaye!! plus yeh bhi bhool gaye k hum khareedne kya aye thai!! " He was telling Padma about the malls in Mauritius as she was inquiring him about his Mauritius life...
Halka halka rang beetay kal ka
Gehra gehra kal ho jaayega
Ho jaayega
Her lips curved into a light smile as she saw him getting jelled up really quick with her family... For a time being she just stayed in the same positing looking down in the hall... He wasn't dressed in his formal attire like always... It was just a simple blue jeans with white shirt and a white open jacket...
Smiling at herself, she started walking down...
Aadha ishq, aadha hai, adha ho jaayega
Kadmon se meelon ka vaada ho jaayega
Aadha ishq, aadha hai, adha ho jaayega
Kadmon se meelon ka vaada ho jaayega"Chalein??" He got up seeing Shilpa who was climbing down stairs now...
"As you wish!!" She raised her shoulder carelessly..
"As my wish?? To yaar baarish k baad bohat keechar ho gaya hai bahar!!" He teased her...
"Baarish to nahi ho rahi naa!!" She retorted back narrowing her eyes making everyone laugh out there...
Bidding Bye to all, they both got out of the house and sat inside the car...
"Hmmm to kahan chalna hai??" He asked while taking the driving seat...
"Mujhe kya pata kahan chalna hai??? app le k ja rahe hain!!" She turned to look at him after closing the door of her side...
"You see... Main Mumbai aya tha!! Aur main Mauritius wapas ja raha hun!! Usoolan tumhe mujhe kahin le k chalna chahiye na k main tumhe har jagah ghumata phirun!!" He was about to start the car but then stopped...
"Bhae mujhe nahi pata!! app le k chal rahe thai!!" She shook her head turning her face to the opposide side..
"Arre... ab tak jab jab hum gaye hain!! Main le k gaya naa?? to now i want you to take me somewhere..." He said as a matter of fact...
"App sab se pehle mujhe uss... juice shop pe le k gaye thai!! i knew the place but have never been there... phir baarish hui aur humay hotle mein stay karna para... Maine uss hotel mein bhi pehle kabhi stay nahi kiya tha..." She started counting the places he has taken her and all were new to her...
"Excuse me?? Aisa kuch nahi hai k hum kisi nai(new) jagah he jaein... Uss juice shop pe meine uss din se pehle kabhi aur gadi nahi roki thi... Second uss hotel mein rukna humari majboori thi and obviously mera bhi wahan rukna pehli he dafa tha kyunki itne bade ghar k hote hue mujhe nahi lagta uss hotel mein rukne ka koi jawaz bhi banta hai!! Phir hum date pe gaye thai sea coast pe. wo... meri dekhi bhali jagah thi but tumhare liye nai thi to uska main kuch kar nahi sakta lekin ajj i want you to decide!!" He ended...
"Uffo!! i don't know... Mere dimagh mein koi jagah nahi arahi iss waqt..." She pouted...
"Arre..." He frowned at her...
"Meri pasand ki jagah pe jana haina??? to bus phir wohin sea coast pe chalein!! wahan kitne saare restuarants thai!!! hum sirf ek pe gaye thai!!" She concluded all in one sentence...
"Tumse kuch bhi poochne ka koi faida nahi hai!! pehle he mujhe yeh baat samajh jaani chahiye thi!! Ghalti ki...pehle bhi pooch k aur ab bhi..." He said while starting the car...
"Pehle kab aur kya poocha tha???" She arched her eyebrow...
"Yehi k shaadi abhi karni hai ya baad mein...bus wohi nahi poochna chahiye tha!!" He told her straight while looking back and taking a reverse...
"Ek baat poochon??" She asked on the way...
"Kya??" He passed a questioning look to her...
"Aap... app aise kyun hain?? kese hain?? mera matlab hai... " She paused for a moment to think of the right words... "Maine bohat se logon ko dekha hai.. power ki wajah se ghamandi hote hue.. jeolousy, gussa, attitude!! wo hota haina... bade baap ki bigdi aulad??" She somehow made him aware about what she wana ask...
"Yaar!! har insaan mein flaws hote hain!! Mujh mein bhi hain... Aur agar tum mujhe uss din ka reference dena chah rahi ho jab university mein wo dare wala scene hua tha aur meine uspe ek dum se react nahi kiya tha to... i would say k uss waqt tum mere itne kareeb nahi thi!! Tum mere liye tab wo nahi thi jo ab ho..." He tried to explain her..
"According to others unhe pata tha k log tumhara aur Rohail ka naam saath mein jorr rahe hain!! jisse sunn k unhe hassi a gai aur mujhe nahi i... mujhe gussa agaya!! See gussa mujhe bhi ata hai!!" He smiled at her...
"Haan!! dekha tha meine..." She rolled her eyes...
"So... uss time meri feelings tumhare liye different thi and i will still say k tum mujhe poori tarah se abhi nahi jaanti ho so don't make any opinions about me!! I don't think k insaan ko khud par bhi blind trust hona chahiye kyunki insaan halaat k saath badalta hai!! Isiliye main khud keh raha hun k don't ever trust me blindly!!" He warned her..
"That means app bhi kisi pe blind trust nahi karte??" She asked with narrow eyes...
"Blind trust choro!! Main to trust he nahi karta... " He shook his head while changing the gear...
"What??? how is that possible??? Aap apni family ko trust nahi karte?? khudse jure logon ko trust nahi karte??" She was shocked out of her witts...
"Yes!! i don't trust them with myself... Main yahan apni baat kar raha hun!! Just the thing is k trust ki meaning thodi different hai mere nazdeek!!" He started playing with his words making her confuse...
"Ufff!!! To hell with your trust, appki baatein bhi app he ki tarah ajeeb hain!!" She shrugged her shoulders not able to digest all what he was saying...
"Phir to tumhari choice bhi kaafi ajeeb hai!!" He smirked at her whereas she bowed down her head trying to hide her smile from him...
"Chalo... meri choro, apni baat karo... yahan na sahi par kahin koi to aisi jagah hogi where you would love to dine out!! Ek hoti haina? dream location!!" He asked...
"Hmmm Dream Location!! Pata hai? problem kya hai?? yeh jitne bhi shawk haina mere... yeh family k saath poore nahi ho sakte... Friend circle kuch itna khass hai nahi mera aur sirf mujhe aur Muskaan ko to papa kahin akela jaane nahi denge..." She rested her back on the seat and said...
"Well uncle conservative to kisi bhi angle se nahi hain!! to yeh baat obvious hai kuch ajeeb he jagah hogi jahan wo tum donow ko akele nahi jaane denge... wese bhi ajkal k halaat dekhe hain?? " He scratched his head in disappointment...
"Hmmm halaat he problem hain!!" Shilpa agreed...
"Anyways halaat ko choro... wese he baat karo..." He asked her to continue...
"Islands pe Open Air Beach Resorts hote haina?? its like my dream to roam around there, have dinner and all lekin ekka dukka logon k saath!! bohat saare nahi.." She started with her wishlist...
"Lo... Yeh kaam to almost har alternate weekend kar raha hota hun mein!! God!! Sid bhi nahi hoga ab karunga kya main wahan???" He sighed...
"Office!!! your favorite work!!" She teased him...
"Office se yaad aya.. tum kabse join kar rahi ho office??" He asked...
"Monday se..." She sighed already feeling tired with the name of office...
"Ahan!" He nodded...
"Abhi!! Main kya soch rahi thi k... AtulAnjali k liye dinner rakhna chahiye humay! i mean shaadi hui hai unki nai nai.." Nikki suggested while applying some cream on her face whereas Abhi, who was busy in watching Tv turn to look at her for a while hearing her idea...
"Aur main soch raha tha k kal Armaan raat mein ja raha hai 12 baje ki flight se to kyun na yeh kaam kal raat he saranjaam de diya jaye??" He asked...
"Not a bad idea!! Uska farewell bhi ho jayega!!" Nikki giggled...
"To main subha table book kar leyti hun aur abhi sab ko inform kar do..." Nikki adviced while sitting down beside him...
"Log to ginno pehle..." He said while turning off the T.V
"Ummm Hum donow! AtulAnjali! Aur ArmaanShilpa! 6 log he to hain!" Nikita looked at him with a confused face...
"Nahi!!! Armaan nahi ayega phir..." Abhi told her as a matter of fact...
"Kyun nahi ayega???" Nikita questioned...
"Samjha karo naa... apni family k saath time spend karna chahe gaa wo... ab zahir hai ab jayega to phir pata nahi kab wapas ayega?" Abhi rolled his tongue inside giving it a thought...
"To phir??? Sirf AtulAnjali ko bulaein??" Nikki asked...
"Ruko naa... let me see.." Abhi asked her to wait and picked up his cell phone and dialled Atul's number...
...
Parking the car, they both got out of it and started walking... "Chalo... ab bolo?? which restuarant??" He asked...
"Ummm" She bit her nail as there were so many restuarants that she got confused... "Mujhe walk karna bhi acha lagta hai!!" She passed him an innocent look making him laugh out loud...
"Kuch samajh nahi aya to walk karna acha lagta hai!!" He laughed at her showing her the way... Number of cars were parked there but still the road was calm and quiet... The sea breeze was making the environment even more romantic and enjoyable plus the orange street light were too good... Far from one side it was all dark with small lights at the end showing the city out there and on the other side there were number of Open Air Restuarants and all are lighted up making the view even more beautiful...
"Ab agar tumhe iss tarh ki jaghein itni pasand hain to i am sure sea cruise wagera bhi bohat pasand honge..." He said while walking with her...
"I just love them!! Ek baar jaane lagay thai hum sab... phir beech mein kuch jhol agaya aur phir mauqa nahi mila!!" She passed a sad look to him...
"Pata hai Shilpa!! Mountains, Hills!! Sea! Jungle!! yeh sab... insaan ko badal dete hain!! " He said while kicking a stone in between...
"Badal dete hain??" She made a face...
"Yeah!! Kabhi bhi kisi janabii k saath in jaghon pe nahi jaana chahiye!! Kyunki phir wo ajnabii manoos(fimiliar) ho jata hai!! Apna ho jata hai!! Aurrr... tumhe mauqa mile tab bhi in jaghon par kum se kum shaadi se pehle to mat jaana!! kyunki phir God knows tum mein kitna change a jaye aur shayad wo main digest na kar paoon!!" He smiled at the end...
"App ne philosiphy mein PHD ki hai??" She asked sarcastically...
"Tum samjho gii ek din.."He paused and stopped walking "K mein kya keh raha hun!!" He held her by her wrist and pulled her closer...
Beshumaar raatein, behisab baatein
Pass aate aate gum ho jaati haiWrapping an arm around her waist he made her face him and looked in her eyes with a mischevious grin... "Tumhe laga Red color mujhe irritate karta hai aur isiliye ajj tumne yeh pehna!! Tum yeh nahi jaanti k Red mere favorites mein se ek hai!!" He chuckled leaving her startled for a moment...
Bekhudi mein dhal ke, bekali mein jal ke
Sau hazaare yaadein nam ho jaati hai
Pheeka pheeka pal beetay kal ka
Mehka mehka kal ho jaayega"Favorite??? Phir uss din party mein???" She asked with widen eyes...
"Koi bhi cheez zaroorat se zyaada achi nahi lagti... Aur Valentines day wale din red ko cheap banane mein log koi kasar nahi chorte isliye uss din mujhe red se chirr ho jati hai!!" He explained... "Aur ab yeh baat sirf tum jaanti ho!!" He bit his lower lip still looking in her eyes whereas his gaze made her look down instantly... Her cheeks and ears were getting heated up and turning red but she was unable to hide them from him this time...
"Aur Red tumhe compliment karta hai!!" He commented kissing her forehead with love...
...
"Kya keh raha hai wo??" Niki asked Abhi as he put his phone down...
"As expected k hum log to saath mein bahar nikalte he rehte hain aur nikalte he rahenge... Armaan ja raha hai usse phir mulaqat nahi ho payegi to Armaan ko bulao kisi bhi tarah se..." Abhi told Nikki what Atul said...
"Phir ab??" Nikki asked...
"Yaar mood to mera bhi hai lekin yeh Armaan ka bacha!! ummm " He tapped his fingers on the table while thinking of something...
"Wese!! Rohail ki akal thikane lagani thi mujhe thodi sii... agar Aliya aur Rohail ko bulaya jaye to it will be fun!!" Abhi clapped his hands as he got the idea...
"To phir Rahul Muskaan ko bhi bulao... unhune kya bigara hai??" Nikki arched her eyebrows...
"Haan wohi... aurr phir Armaan humay late bhi join kare to issue nahi hai yaar!! Kyunki... matlab drop to usse Rohail Rahul mein se he koi karega naa?? To... for a change iss baar hum sab saath mein see off karne chalte hain!!" Abhi made his plan...
"Not a bad idea!! Lekin pehle sab ko call to karo... Aliya mane gi???" Nikki questioned...
"Armaan ko see off karne ki baat haina?? maan jayegi!!" Abhi pressed his lips together and started calling everyone to tell about his plan...
...
Atlast Shilpa choose a restuarant and now they both were sitting and waiting for the food which Shilpa just ordered...
"Aapko kuch baat karni thi..." Shilpa asked as a thought strike her why they were meeting tonight...
"Baat to khair itni koi khaas nahi thi... its just that main to chala jaoonga sukoon se lekin yahan bohat fasaad khara ho sakta hai! isliye bus yunhi socha k ek baar tumse baat karlun..." He said keeping his mobile and keys on the table...
"Kesa fasad??" She asked with a frown...
"Yaar!! log baatein banane mein maahir hain... The thing is k main zahir hai wahan ja k busy ho jaoonga aur tum ab office join karogi to tumhe pata chalega k its not a cake walk!! zahir hai tum bhi busy ho jaogi so... we should atleast make it a point k hum iss baat ko samjhein!! kyunki as i told you main kisi ko trust nahi karta... jese ek baar mein bohat busy tha aur tum nahi samjhi thi ye... tumhe laga main tumhe ignore kar raha hun!! So... i just don't want this thing to happen again.." He shared some of his perplexed thoughts with her...
"Wo tab ki baat thi... mujhe nahi lagta ajj bhi sab wesa he hai! Tab hum ek doosre k baare mein kuch bhi nahi jaante thai" She said while correcting her position...
"I agree hum ab kaafi achi tarah se ek doosre ko janne lagay hain lekin kya hum utni he achi tarah se ek doosre ko samajhne bhi lagay hain???" He asked arching his eyebrow which made her speechless for a moment...
"Fine!! to phir???" She asked understanding the depth of his words...
"Shilpa!! meri adat hai ya jo bhi kaho, main suni sunai baaton pe yaqeen nahi rakhta... jiski baat hai ussi se ja ke direct baat karta hoon! Isiliye tumse bhi yehi expect karta hoon!!! Jo hai! Jesa hai! without a second thought mujhse direct poocho... yeh sochne ki zaroorat nahi hai k mujhe bura lagay ga ya main ghalat samjhunga etc etc... " His voice was convincing and he sounded logical...
"And how would i know k app mujhse jhoot nahi kahenge??" She grinned making with frown..." Haan!! abhi app he ne kaha naa k don't trust me!!" She chuckled making him smile...
"Tum bhi naa..." He shook his head turning his face right towards the sea...
...
"Pagal ho kya??? humay kyun kabab mein haddi bana rahe ho?? tum log jao.." Rahul replied as soon as he heard Abhi's plan...
"Arre... kabab mein haddi jesa kya hai iss mein???" Abhi frowned...
"Dekho!! jis k liye itne luazmaat kar rahe ho naa?? koi faida nahi hai uska... dekh leyna ending yehi hogi k wo bolega mein direct airport pe milta hun!" Rahul tried to make Abhi understand...
"Umeed mujhe bhi kuch aisi he hai... lekin try karne mein kya jata hai??? Tum log bus ajana naa yaar!!" Abhi's tone was a finalizing one...
"Uffo!!! Chalo theek hai!! Lekin yeh Aliya Rohail ki baat mujhse mat karna... jo kehna hai khud kehna unse!!" Rahul warned clearly...
"Arre unhe dekh lunga main..." Saying so Abhi ended the call..
"Arre yaar!! kal ka kyun rakha??? main nahi a poonga!" Armaan made a face hearing about Abhi's plan...
"Arre listen naa..." Abhi asked him to wait and listen fully and then told him the whole thing that he can join them late...
"Tch!! khana wana choro yaar!! Main to wese bhi flight lumbi hai to kuch khaoonga nahi!! Aur phir tum logon ko join bhi late karunga to kya faida??" He asked...
"Abay tum faide nuksaan ki choro aur bus late ho ya jo bhi a jana..." Abhi was not ready to give up...
"Acha theek hai!! fine!!" Armaan gave his nodd and then kept his mobile aside...
"Aaa..." He was about to tell Shilpa when she cutted him off "Nikita ka message agay hai!! i know it!!" She smiled at him...
...
"Remember maine appse ek sawal poocha tha shuru mein??" She said while taking a bite of her food which was just served 2 minutes ago...
"Kaunsa??" He asked while taking a sip of his soft drink...
"Yehi k jab app wahan se decide kar k aye thai k naa kehna hai to phir haan kyun kaha??" She asked mischeviously...
"Aur meine bhi tumse kaha th k isska jawab shaadi k baad he dunga!!" He smiled remembering that moment..
"Hmmm aur wo jo us din dark past aur pata nahi kya kya jhar rahe thai!! jab Aliya aur Rohail icecream parlour mein takra gaye thai!!" She arched her eyebrows...
"Wo..." He licked his lower lip... "Past jaan k kya karogi??" He smirked...
"Abhi bola naa ask me staright!! Ab main pooch rahi hoon to bata nahi rahe..." She pouted...
"Acha naa..." He rolled his tongue inside... "Well haan tha koi mere past mein!!" He bit his lower lip and got lost somewhere for a moment...
Her heart sank for a moment seeing him lost like this... "K... kaun tha??" She stammered...
"Wo??? wo manoos ajnabi tha!! My stranger!" He said while taking a deep breath...
"To phir wo app k saath kyun nahi hai??" She asked almost like a whisper... her hunger was gone...
"Kis ne kaha wo mere saath nahi hai??? Mere saamne bethi hai!!" He laughed lightly seeing her expressions as she almost jumped up as the reality hit her... He was talking about that rainy night when he first met her...
"Aap naa... matlab jaan nikaal dein kisi ki bhi!!" She passed him a stern look to him...
"Aur tum baat ki khaal nikaala karo!! hehe!! mazaak kar raha tha uss waqt main!!" He laughed at her...
...
"Acha! now the next thing..." He said after finishing the food...
"Kya??" She asked while applying a hand sanitizer...
"Main!! seriously shaadi k baare mein soch raha hun!!" He finally said the real thing...
"Kiski??" She asked with wrinkles on her forehead...
"Atul Anjali ki!!" He spoke out sarcastically at her dumb act...
"What???" Her eyes widen up hearing him but then his stern expressions made her realise what he was talking about... "Oh!! Aap humari baat kar rahe thai!!" She bit her tongue between her teeth...
"Jee!!" He said between his teeth... "So... jis project mein tum haath dal rahi ho... next year tak khatam ho jayega!" He was all done with calculations of work and time...
"Mujhe..." She paused staring up in the sky... "Koi objection nahi hai" She ended looking down at him...
"Great! phir baat karte hain!" He pressed his lips together...
"Nahi!!! Abhi to bilkul nahi!! I don't trust anyone in this case..." She got a bit hyper...
"Relax!! mujhe pata hai abhi baat karne ka matlab abhi he kuch ho jayega!!" He giggled at her... They both knew their families and their excitement about this marriage so talking about marriage right now means not Next Year but This Year Only...
Paying the bill, Armaan collected his car keys and wallet from the table and then turned to look at Shilpa who was standing at the railing looking down at the water of the sea...
"Yahan se neeche koodne ka scene hai???" His voice boomed behind her making her jump up suddenly...
"Koodne ki kya zaroorat hai??? appka bus chale to app dhakka he de dein!" She retorted back...
"Khair doobo gii to nahi tum!! bus ek ad haddi he toote gi!!" He said looking down at the rocks at the water end...
"Very funny!!" She rolled here eyes...
"Hahaha!! chalein??" He asked...
"Hmmm..." She nodded in a yes and they both started walking back...
"By the way... Tuesday ko result haina??" He brought a topic she hated the most..
"Yaad dilana zaroori tha???" She said between her teeth...
"Ofcorse!! itni mehnat se tum sab k papers check kar k Professor Sinha ko recheck karne diye maine... Phir baad mein result banaya!!! Yaad to dilaana he tha!" He chuckled...
"Huhhh!!! Pata nahi kya hone wala hai tuesday ko..." She sighed shrugging her face...
"Darr kyun rahi ho??? paper to ache se diya tha naa??" He laughed...
"Darr kisi ko bhi iss baat ka nahi hai k paper humne kesa diya!! darr iss baat ka hai k paper banane wala aur check karne wala donow he bohat kharus hain!!" She mocked at him...
"Ahan!! phir to line se fail kiya hoga sab ko..." He was enjoying her comments...
"Kya pata??" She said taking a deep breath...
"Urghhh!!! kyun bola app ne??? suffocation ho rahi hai ab mujhe!!" She almost jumped up and he saw that nervous look on her face... His eyes popped out when he saw her shivering...
"Tum kuch pagal wagal ho kya??? Panic attack zyaada nahi atay tumhe???" He frowned at her...
"Uhhh!!" She didn't answer him and started walking...
"Ruko!!" He stopped her again...
"Tum ek achi khasi bold ladki ho!! iss tarah se kyun ghabra rahi ho??" He asked helding her shoulders...
"Pata nahi!!" She looked away and kicked her feet really hard that her heel borke down...
"Hawww!!!" Her jaw dropped down and she bent down to see whereas he started laughing at it...
"Hassi a rahi hai apko??? toot gai meri heel!!" She passed a stern look to him...
"Wow!! Result ka darr ek pal mein urran chu ho gaya!!" He mumbled...
"Ab??" He asked as she got up with her sandle in her hand...
"Ab kya??? toot gai!!" She pouted and started walking bare feet...
"Zameen achi thundi hai!!" She commented after a while which made him look at her in a disbelive..
"Ouch!!" He heard her next as something came under her feet and she hurt a little...
"Kya hua?? zameen pe olay par gaye??" He smirked...
Ho jaayega
Aadha ishq, aadha hai, adha ho jaayega
Kadmon se meelon ka vaada ho jaayega
Aadha ishq, aadha hai, adha ho jaayega
Kadmon se meelon ka vaada ho jaayega"Owww!!" She groaned making a face jumping on her one leg... Shaking his head, he kept his one hand behind her legs and another at her back and then picked her up without a warning...
"Arre ..." She tried to resist...
"Shut Up!! Ab ek dum chup!!" He made her quiet and started taking quick long steps towards the car... She kept on looking at him till he reached the car and put her down... She lowered her gaze while correcting her dress till then he opened the car door for her...
...
"Mujhe icecream khani hai!!" She demanded as they were passing by an icecream parlour...
"Uss waqt wahan kyun nahi order ki thi???" He asked turning his face towards her...
"Wo flavours ache nahi thai!!" She made a face... "Aurrr wo saamne ek sandles ki shop bhi hai!" She pointed at a showroom of boots and sandles...
"Yeh bolo naa k heels tootne ka ghum khae ja raha hai!!" He smirked at her and taking a U turn stopped the car infront of the sandles shop...
After looking at few, Shilpa decided to buy a pair of flat sleeper and paying the bill, wore them... Then she turned to look for Armaan who was busy in purchasing a pair of office shoes for himself...
"Yeh..." She passed him a questioning look...
"Yeh kaam subha karna tha mujhe... khair acha hai abhi ho gaya!" He told her her fact and then asked the sales man to pack them...
Aadha ishq...Icecream was fun again... Shilpa's mixed flavored and his old three same flavours...
"You know... ummm there is a shop in Mauritius jahan... app unko fresh fruits dein and they will provide you fresh icecream from that within 5 minutes i guess... Andd that icecream!! its flavour! texture! taste!! tum baaki aur kahin ki icecream khana bhool jao!!" He gave a thoughtful look as if feeling the flavours again in his mouth...
"Really??" Shilpa was surprised to hear that...
"Hmmm... lekin zahir hai!! expensive hota hai wo..." He smiled licking his upper lip...
They were still talking when the waiter came with the bill in his hands... "Mein pay karun?? Icecream meri taraf se.." She smiled giving him a questioning look to which he raised his shoulders carelessly...
"I bet yeh Armaan Mallik naa tumhe bohat bhari parne wala hai! Just in case agar tumne notice kiya hoga to ussne kabhi bhi tumhe bill nahi pay karne diya hoga kisi bhi cheez ka... kyunki yeh ladke!! inhe lagta hai k agar ladki inke saath hai aur wo bill pay karegi to inki naak neechi ho jayegi... Aur phir unhe apni biwiyun ko daba k jo rakha hota hai!!" One of her cousins voice echoed in her ears who was married and was comparing Armaan with her own husband...
"Abhi mere saamne hoti naa... to jawab deti..." Shilpa mentally cursed her cousin sister and taking out the money from her purse paid the bill...
...
At last, they were outside Malhotra Residence...
"Ouch!! yeh lock nahi khul raha..." Shilpa complaint as the lock of her side got jammed...
"Ruko!! dekhta hun!!" Saying so Armaan got out of the car and made his way towards her side... He pushed a little and the door opened up itself easily...
"Thanks!!" She smiled at him lightly and got out of the car... He closed the door againa nd when she was about to take a step ahead away from the car he held her hand and stopped her...
Intezaar sa hai, imtehaan sa hai
Itmenaan sa hai, kya hai na jaane"Jab hum ring leyne gaye thai!! kuch aur bhi pasand aya tha mujhe wahan lekin tab meine tumhe nahi diya kyunki main sab se pehle tumhe yeh engagement ring his dena chahta tha!!" He siad taking her hands in his in which she was wearing the ring...
"Lekin ab kyunki yeh main already pehna chuka hun isliye yeh dena chahta hun!!" He paused looking at her confused face.. "Aj itni oot patang baatein ki humne... uske baad to mujhe lagta hai k mujhe yeh definitly dena chahiye!!" He giggled and taking out a promise ring from his pocket made her wear in her index finger...
Itra rahi hai, itna hui hai
Inteha hui hai kaise na jaane"Promise Ring???" Came out of Shilpa's mouth... she was surprised to see that... it was a decent and beautiful one..
"Haan!! Promise ring! Maine kaha tha mujhpe bharosa nahi karna... iss pe thoda bohat kar sakti ho!" He winked at her with a grin on his face...
"Hehe!!" She smiled with full heart seeing this romantic side of him...
"Thank You!!" She thanked him looking up at his face...
"You are most welcome!!" He returned a smile to her and the next moment wrapping his arms around her took her into a passionate hug... It felt like she got the world right that moment... She hugged him back with closed eyes feeling protected and loved in his arms...
Chalka chalka, pal beetay kal ka
Tehra tehra, kal ho jaayega
Ho jaayega
Alas they parted away and how she wished the moment could last long more...
"Bye!!" He pressed his lips together indicating her to go...
"Agar ajj wo teen shabd app bol dete to kya chala jata??" She cursed him mentally...
"Itni asaani se aur itni jaldi!!! kabhi nahi!! Jo apne app se ajj tak nahi kaha tumhe kese keh dun??" He thought silently as he saw her walking away inside...
Aadha ishq, aadha hai, adha ho jaayega
Kadmon se meelon ka vaada ho jaayega
Aadha ishq, aadha hai, adha ho jaayega
Kadmon se meelon ka vaada ho jaayega
Aadha Ishq"Na keh kar bhi to bohat kuch keh diya!!" She blushed looking down a her finger where his promise ring was shining... She took it out to have a proper look of it and find two words imprinted at the inner side of the ring...
"Our Secret!"Seriously tell me how many of you think mujhe isska ek Armaan Riddhima version bhi likhna chahiye???
