Bhopal: Khan Mansion:
"Mr. Khan, aap mujhe akele chod kar Mumbai kaise jaa sakte hai, woh bhi nikha ki ek hafte baad... " (Mr. Khan, How can you travel to Mumbai leaving me back here...?? That to a week after our marriage) Zoya complained to her lovely husband who is busy in packing his bag...
"Zoya yeh meeting bahot important hai, nahi toh mein tumhe chod kar kaise jaa sakta hoon..." (Zoya, This meeting is really important, otherwise I would I leave you and go) Asad tried to explain his complaining wife...
"Mein 3 din akele rahungi...??? Phupi bhi kisi ki function attend karne ke liye gayi hai... " (How will I live alone for three days...?? Phupi is also not there) Zoya lamented...
Ringing door-bell disturbed there cute, complaining and explaining conversation if newly wedded love birds... Asad asked Zoya to see who is on the door... Zoya reluctantly got down bed and wore her slippers... She walked towards door and opened... There stood a person from from Asad's office with an envelope in his hand... He handed her the envelope and took leave from there...
Zoya opened envelope, her eyes grew wide... She is surprised and ran to Asad... She hugged him from back... Asad turned towards her and cupped her face with his warm hands...
"Mein tumhe kaise chod ke jaa sakta hoon...??" (How can I leave you and go...??) Asad said in intense tone...
Zoya smacked on his arm and said, "Toh aap mujhe abhi tak natak kar rahe te...?? Agar hum dono Mumbai jaa rahe hai toh mujhe bataya kyun nahi...?" (So you was teasing me till now..?? If we both are going together then why didn't you tell me...??)
"Mein dekhna chatha tha ki, tumhari reaction kya hogi...???" (I wanted to see your reaction) Asad teased her wrapping his hands around her neck...
"Accha..." (Really) Zoya turned to leave... Asad pulled her back into his arms...
"Chodiye na Mr. Khan..." (Leave Mr. Khan) Zoya said turning crimson red...
"Nahi chodunga... kabhi nahi..." (I will not leave you, Never) Asad whispered in her ears..
"Mujhe taiyaar hona hai Mr. Khan aur bag bhi pack karna hai..." (I have to get ready Mr. Khan, I have to pack my bag also) Zoya tried to explain...
"Nahi, baad mein kar lena..." (No, You do it later) Asad answered stubbornly...
"Mr. Khan, sham ko flight hai.. late hojayenge..." (Mr. Khan our flight is in the evening, We will become late) Zoya said trying to control her breath and skipping heartbeats... Zoya could feel Asad's breathe on her neck, Asad bent forward and whispered, "Shhh.."
Asad turned Zoya towards him... They had an eye-lock... Asad without breaking lock asked Zoya, "Kya soch rahe hai aap...??" (What are you thinking..?) Zoya smiled and said, "Mein yeh soch rahi thi ki aap Zille lahi se Mughaleazam kab bangaye..." (I was thinking, when did this Rude ruler became Romeo)
Asad teased her saying, "Jabse Miss. Farooqi... Mrs. Asad Ahmed Khan bangayi..." (From the time Miss. Farooqi became Mrs. Asad Ahmed Khan)
Zoya blushed and said, "I Love You Mr. Khan"..
Asad hugged her and said, "I Love You Mrs. Khan"

Mumbai: ETF office:
"Hogaye Diwali Party ki tayariya...???" (Is everything ready for Diwali party...?) Aisha asked taking sipp of her coffee...
"Haa hogayi... Sabko bulabhi liya... Sirf ek insaan reh gaya..." (Yeah, everything is done. I have invited everyone, except one person who should be invited) Sakshi said sipping her coffee, her looks making way through the brim of cup to Arjun's cabin...
"Abhi tak invite nahi kiya...??" (You didn't invite him till now..??) Aisha questioned with a quizzical expression...
"What to do..?? Jab bhi invite karne jati hoon.. Kisi na kisi kaam mein uljha rehta hai... Kaam mein disturb karungi toh meri band baja dega..." (What shall I do..?? Whenever I go to invite him, he will be always busy... If I will try to disturb him, He will take a lecture) Sakshi explained...
"But I think, It's time now... You have to invite him.. Just go..." Aisha urged her...
"I think you are right, Aaaj aar ya paar..." Sakshi placed her coffee cup on the table... She made her way towards Arjun's cabin...
*****************************
Arjun's Cabin:
Sakshi knocked door and entered... Arjun is as usuallylost in his case files tricking pen with his fingers...
"Arjun..." Sakshi called his name to gain attention...
"Yes Sakshi, tumhe kuch batana hai...??" (Yes Sakshi, Do you have anything to say...?) Arjun queried without taking his glance out of report papers which are filed...
"Mujhe dekhenge toh batayenge na..." (I can say only when you look at me) Sakshi said infuriatedly looking at Arjun... Arjun glared at her, which made her to enter into a tensed and frightened mood from annoyed...
"Please Arjun, meri baat toh suno..." (Please Arjun, Listen to me) Sakshi tried to make hm concentrate in her talks... "Kitna baaw kha raha hai, ek baar sunlega toh khazana lut jayega kya...???" She murmmered...
"Kuch kaha tumne...???" (Did you say something...?)Arjun questioned raising his eyebrows...
"Kehne ke liye hi toh aayi hoon..." (I came here to say something) She replied...
Arjun closed his file and kept it on table and looked at her with his intertwined fingers on the table... "Kaho.. " (Tell) Arjun asked her in one word...
Sakshi said, "Parso Diwali ki party hai.. mein apni sare doston ko aur chaahne walaon ko party mein invite kiya hai... Tum bhi aaoge toh accha lagega..." (I arranged a Diwali party on day after tomorrow... I invited all my friends and loved one's... If you will attend, I will feel good)
Arjun countered saying, "Toh tum galat jagah pe aye ho Miss. Sakshi Anand... Nahi mein tumhara dost hoon, na hi mein kisi Diwali party mein jaata hoon..." (Then you came to a wrong place Miss. Sakshi Anand... I am not your friend and I am not even interested in diwali party)
Sakshi said smiling, "Dost nahi toh chahne wale toh ho sakte ho..." (If not like a friend, you can attend party as loved one's)
Arjun looked at her... This time his eyes doesn't have anger, he is confused... He is confused looking at that girl who just behaves like Roshini... He remembered years ago when Roshini came to him and invited for Diwali party saying that she is inviting her friends and loved ones... Arjun was invited at last, knowing that he faked anger and said he is not her friend that's why she is inviting him last... Roshini replied, "Dost nahi toh chahne wale toh sakte ho, Dost se zyada, jise invite karne ki zaroorat hi nahi hai... Haq se aa sakta hai..." (If not like a friend, you can attend party as love one's, who is more than a friend. I feel there is no need to invite them and they can attend party as their right) He can never forget that Diwali which sparkled his life with her gesture of love...
Arjun was still in his thoughts.. Sakshi repeated her sentence of inviting him and left from there...
*********************************
Outside Arjun's Cabin:
"Mujhe pata hai Arjun, tum Diwali celebrate nahi karte ho... Iss baar toh tumhe karna hi hoga... Meri Diwali ki sparkles mein tumhari chehre pe ek sparkling smile toh aajaye..." (I know Arjun, that you don't celebrate Diwali... But this time you have to celebrate... My sparkles of Diwali should bring a sparkle of smile on your face) Sakshi thought to herself...
