Part-1
Just you & me..
(written by lost_in_love aka indu)
It was morning and Haseena was sitting in the big hall, waiting for others to come when Joseph came and handed Haseena a note. She took the note and glancing at it said 'its ok Joseph..you can go now.' Joseph bowed and left. Haseena opened the folded paper.
It said'.
'Mom...am really sorry..i wanted to spend time with you but I have got an important appointment today.. but I will be back soon...love you..!' Haseena smiled, even she missed talking to him but Abhay was happy and right now that's all what mattered...
The white Cadillac 16 was on its way to Juhu road. Abhay choose to drive by himself today, as he had some planes.He glanced at his watch, slightly irritated because of the traffic. 'This Mumbai traffic..it will never change..' he muttered but the next moment he had a slight smile on his face remembering the wonderful day he was going to have ahead today..and why not..? Pia...yes.. she will be there..at the director's house as well.. ! After so many days they will work together ,wish he could make the clock run...
Abhay realised how impatient he was becoming each day...but it was hard...hard not to ...when...it's ..Pia! The blazing horns reminded he was on road and he turned the wheel towards his destination with a joyous heart'
Razdeep Bhatt greeted both abhay and pia. Abhay had reached just in time and was about to park his car, when he had noticed pia. Abhay preferred punctuality and Pia was just like him and that was one of the many reasons he admired her. Then both of them had entered together. Razdeep began the conversation, he was an young, successful director and had delivered major box office hits at a row. Every other actor n actress in B-town wanted to work with him and Abhay, Pia were also one of them so few days back when Adhir bhay had mentioned the well-known director wants to meet them Abhay had readily agreed.
Razdeep cleared his throat and said 'abhay there were many more who expressed their desire to work with me but I chose you. Though you are only 3 movies old but your persona and acting skills have floored me..yes there were many who did fit the role but my movie will be nothing like typical romantic bollywood films. It will be intense and no one could be better than you I believe..and Pia was the obvious choice for the female lead..!' both Abhay n Pia spared each other a glance. 'You see you..you two..both of you generate fire..your on-screen chemistry is simply electrifying..amazing..and I want that raw thing in my movie..i hope I will get it..what say both of you?' he raised his eyebrow looking at them keenly waiting for a reply.. 'oh..sure..of course..we will try our best' Abhay answered and Pia added 'it has always been my dream to work with you, Infact I remember Abhay telling me how lucky he would be to work with you..!' smiling she said. Razdeep gave a broad smile 'well then congrats to both of you..you are part of the movie now..! Now Pia you have to gain a little more weight you are too thin..um..and Abhay you are perfect just..um..you need to appear a bit rough as per the role..i hope that's not too much am asking for..' Abhay, Pia both of them were ecstatic and they thanked the director and said they will start working on it soon. Razdeep was satisfied as well and said the shooting will start around the second week of January n asked them to inform if they have date issues. Both Abhay and Pia had their respective shootings and major photo shoots so they said they will let him know. Razdeep agreed and told them to enjoy and relax as much as they can as they have got ample time to discuss the script and their roles later. Both of them agreed n then left the mansion.
Abhay went to his car and opened the door, then he turned and saw Pia heading towards her car so he called aloud..'hey Pia...'
'Hey Pia..' .he called again, ...Abhay walked to the white Jaguar just when Pia was about to hop in and stood in front her. Before she could have said anything he closed the door and holding her hand started walking towards his car, 'no questions...all your queries will be answered later...for now just follow me...' Abhay said all at once without giving her a chance to speak and opening his car's door ushered pia to get inside. All this while Pia said nothing, she was amused and for a change she was actually enjoying this Abhay...whom she had missed so much, the Abhay who always gave her commands rather than asking for permissions every time. Pia did not go inside at once, she stood there bemused at his act , an hazy smile slowly forming on her pink lips, her soft brown eyes shimmering with sudden curiosity, she said, 'Abhay.. Abhay..hold on...you said follow me'but did you really give me a chance to follow...?.. you were actually holding my hand..if you remember... .' Pia raised her eye brows, her eyes seeking a reply. Abhay left her hand 'okk...fine...now...i release you..now go inside...we are already getting late...and don't worry am not hijacking you...' Pia was going to open her mouth when Abhay stopped her and said 'have patience...Pia.. Before you ask anything else... Listen...you'r going with me...i have informed your driver so he will take the car and inform your mom...and the rest of your questions will be answered gradually. Now get inside!' Pia was totally taken aback 'Abhay...like this...all of a sudden..? Okk..fine..but ...where are we going...at least tell me that..?' abhay moved close to her and whispered 'you will know..once you get there...now hurry!' Pia had no choice but to follow him. Yes anytime she could have denied, but she could not..the offer was so lucrative that she could hardly resist.
The car was speeding fast keeping everything from shops to the busy mumbai roads behind, it was heading towards an unknown destination with vast paddy fields welcoming them on both side. It was already mid-December and the wind was undoubtedly chilly, pia put on her black leather jacket and looked at abhay 'hey where's you jacket? Put it on...you will catch cold..oh..now don't tell me, you don't need it..?' she said sternly. abhay did not look at her, his eyes were fixed on the road but he replied 'of course i don't..have you forgotten already..? if you remember, most of my vacations i have spent in zero degree...' pia nodded 'ya..ya..i know..you used to spend your holdays in sweden were your aunt lives..' 'exactly..see..that's why i don't need it..' he smiled. 'should i turn the music player on?' he said after a moment. 'no..it feels good..the calm..the peace..sometimes..it's important you know.. !' half smiling pia looked at abhay. 'agree...i felt the same..when...you weren't there..' realising he had said something which he should not have abhay tried to modify his own words, ' ..er..i mean..all the misunderstandings between..us...that was..not helping at all you know...plus..the shootings..crowd..lights..cameras..the press..all the time...it felt terrible..and i wished for...for some lone time...peace of mind..i was..i was..trying hard..i was tired..' abhay left a sigh, realising he had said too much and not willing to say anymore he paused. Pia did not force abhay, she knew without him telling how difficult it could have been for him just like it was for her. Abhay glanced at her, the sun was setting, the light fast vanishing behind the horizon left a dark shadow on them veiling most of abhay's features thus making it impossible for pia to read his face. Abhay exhaled deeply, he was fortunate he thought otherwise the gloominess clearly engraved on his face would not have escaped pia's eyes.
The car continued to run leaving the paddy fields behind and was heading towards more greenery now, they never spoke much except throwing occasional glances at each-other through the corner of their eyes. But they felt happy after what seemed like an eternity. Several times Pia thought of raising the topic that she had to leave in midway the other day but observing his happy face and the current circumstances she decided not to, the moment was so heavenly that she felt afraid her words might spoil it, and when she was busy thinking all this the car stopped with a slight jerk and pia becoming aware of her surroundings jumped out of the car before abhay's feet could touch the ground.
Abhay watched with amusing eyes as Pia ran gleefully towards the villa, she was literally jumping with joy. Abhay entered and after instructing the manager about the lunch he went to Pia. She was excited, and Abhay felt blissful to have witnessing this rare scene after ages. They went at the northeast garden and sauntered, laughing and sharing their childhood memories for hours, when pia said at last 'oh,..i can't believe Abhay...you drove me at Kindle Villa..!!.so many memories we have here...i'm soo happy...' Abhay was just watching her, he did not say anything, but only gave a small smile in return. 'you deserve this..Pia..' inside he thought and after talking their lunch together, they took a walk through the moors again.
They talked and talked what seemed like never ending though both of them carefully avoided the part that had brought all the miseries in their life in the past. It seemed as if it was a conscious effort to keep the past unpleasant events at bay.
It was around 8at night when they were called for the dinner. After dinning they sat at the moor behind the back of the Villa. Abhay leaned against the big pine tree, with Pia sitting beside him. He looked at the night sky, the twinkling stars diffusing incredible beauty reverberated nature's own charisma. 'Pia..' Abhay called suddenly after an hour long silence. 'mmm...yes..Abhay..?' 'do you still watch the night sky like we used to do before? Remember you used to count the stars..it was your favorite night time hobby..?' Abhay paused. 'yes..! I do..!' 'I thought you wanted to be an astronaut..!.' laughed Abhay . 'I did..!' '..and do you remember what you used to say while counting them..?' nodded Pia gleefully 'absolutely! I said..the number of stars represent the days we have spent with each-other and we will spend in the future...' at the end Pia's voice became sad and almost inaudible, Abhay noticed this but he said nothing. After sometime Pia hesitated 'ermm...Abhay...i..i want to..say something..to you..about that day..i could not complete the other day what i wanted to...but...i should say it now. Its making me restless.. I should have said it long back..Abhay..that day ..whatever happened...i wanted to...' Abhay turned to her 'Pia..it's alright..please..it's ok..i know it wasn't your fault..it was mine..yes, but not your's..! Back then I was too immature. I suppose...i acted on impulse..shouldnot have..Pia we have already lost so much of our precious time...and i don't want to lose anymore..! What matters to me now is You..and only You..and i don't want to know about the past, let's forget about it, leaving everything behind..i just want to enjoy this little bit of happiness with you...please don't deny me..' till now the darkness was covering his face but now as Abhay moved slightly, the faint light flickering through the cottage fell on him and pia saw his perfect face shinning in the moonlit night, he smiled and his eyes twinkled with warmth and innumerable emotions waiting to be reciprocated, that Pia thought her heart would stop any moment. 'of course ...i..okk..Abhay..! Whatever you want...' accepting her defeat she smiled awkwardly, trying to veil the sudden rush of emotions those his eyes were making her feel inside.
After waiting Pia asked this time trying to sound normal 'Abhay..you still didnot tell me..why you came..i mean brought me here..all of a sudden..?' Abhay looked at her with disbelieving eyes 'wow...you don't remember..? Not surprising though..so much time had passed...it's a very special day Pia..! Today...exactly 13years back..we became friends..! yes ..13 good long years it had been..!! Can you imagine..! So much had happened since then...we had known each other for so long..as..if...we have always known each-other...' Pia couldnot say anything, she didnot knew what to say, her eyes sparkled with tears, she had forgotten this day..yes..she had..Indeed..but..Abhay still remembers it..!.. and that is the reason he brought her here today..! What could possibly be more wonderful than this..?!! Was it a dream or reality, she was living..?' she thought, her heart full of content and joy. 'am..sorry..Abhay..i..for..' Abhay placed a finger on her lips, ' just enjoy the moment pia..no more sorry's...' and then he thought something and said 'yes..there's one thing you can do..to make amends...or...something to be granted forgiveness...want to try..?' he said arching his eye brows in a naughty way, mischievousness playing in his eyes, as if enjoying the sudden confusion that was overshadowing Pia's face. 'what..? What i have to do..? I will do anything...what is it..tell me Abhay..?' the next thing almost took her off guard, as Abhay knelt close to her and pressing her against the tree he said in a solemn tone 'leave..Anik..! Can you do that ?' Pia gasped, was she hearing it right or was her mind playing games with her..? He said only once so she asked to confirm to see whether she was hallucinating, faltering she said 'wh..a..t..? What...did..yo..u...say..i didn't..quite get..yo..u..?' 'you heard it right pia..! You heard what i said..! Ok..here i repeat...Leave Anik..!'
