Thanks, guys...its the comments that keep me going 😆 And my love for Akaanya 😍 So here's part 8:
-----the next day------
Roopa, Manya's roommate, stared at Manya as Manya packed her things for semester break.
R: So, Manya, tumhe sab se zyada kaun yaad ayega?
M: Roopa, sirf ek week ki tho break hai!
R: Haan, but still...
Manya got a dreamy look in her eyes as she remembered the way Akash held her in his arms and walked her to her room at night.
M: Uh...sab ayeinge...
A voice from the doorway made Manya jump. She turned to see Akash standing there.
A: Kya, Cinderella! Maine socha tha ke kal raat ke baad tumhe meri thodi zyada kadar hogi...
R: Kal raat ko?
A: Haan, kal raat ko...
Akash moved closer to where MAnya was standing, almost inches from her face.
A: Bahut alag raat thi woh. ZInadgi bhar yaad karunga..
Roopa's face grew in an irritated manner.
R: Whatever, main neeche ja rahi hoon. Sabko bye kehna hai.
Akash stared into Manya's eyes.
M: Kya hai?
A: Mujhe yaad karogi?
M: Kaha na...asbko karun gi...ek week ki tho baat hai..
A: Ek week ki judaai seh lo gi?
Manya moved back into the wall.
M: Uh...yeah...
Akash started to laugh.
A: Cinderella, apna chehra dekha karo! Itni...nervous ho jaati ho tum...
M: AKASH!
A: MANYA!
M: Akash, move, mujhe packing kerni hai!
A: No.
M: AKash, move!
A: NO!
M: Akash?!
A: Main tab tak nahin hutton ga till you say you'll remember me.
M: Obviously I'll remember yaar, meri yaadasht itni kamzor nahin hai!
A: Manya! I mean tum mujhe yaad karogi!
M: Oh please, Akash. Tum mein itni kya khaas baat hai? Tumne mujhe utta kya liya, tum tho khud ko Prince Charming samajne lage!
Manya sort of pushed Akash and started walkign away when he grabbed her hand.
A: Aye, Cinderella. Hamare raaste itne door nahin hain. Ek hi sheher hai.
M: Oh? So tum mujhe doondo ge, Akash?
A: Maybe...
M: Itni care kyun?
Akash got surprised by the question.
A: Uh...bas...dekh lo mujhe. Kitna acha dost mila hai tumhe, Manya!
M: Yeah, yeah...jao jao. Tumhari shakal poori ek week ke baad dekhun gi.
A: No, MAnya, ussai jaldi dekho gi.
M: Yeah, yeah...
A: Aur aisi dekho gi, ke yaad rakho gi!
M: Tumhari jaisi shakal kaun bhoole ga Akash? Vaise hi nightmares aate hain!
A: MANYA!
M: AKASH!
-------After two days----------
Manya was seated at her dinner table with her mother. The doorbell rang and Manya stood up to get it. She opened the door and found no one.
M: Hello? Someone there? How stupid!
Suddenly, a bunch of flowers fell on her face. MAnya screamed in surprise as Akash lept in her front of her.
A: Tumhara Prince Charming haazir hai!
M: Akash--tum?!
A: Kyun? MAine kaha tha na doond loon ga!
M: Of course. MAin hoon hi aisi. Meri yaad arahi hogi...
A: Yaad? Tumhari? Get real!
M: Acha? Tho phir mere dhervaze per kya ker rahe ho?
A: Ek baat poochni thi.
M: Kya?
Akash edged closer.
A: Poochoon?
M: Poocho...
Before Akash asked, Manya's mother came up from behind.
MM: Kaun hai, Manya?
M: Ma, yeh Akash hai. MEre saath college mein perte.
MM: Acha? Hi, Akash.
A: Hi, Aunty.
M: Tho tum yahan kya ker rahe ho, Akash?
A: Woh...main...
MM: Manya, yeh kya sawaal hua? Akash, andher ao!
Akash gave Manya a push before entering. Manya's Mom smiled at him and let him sit down.
MM: Tho, Akash? Kya kerte ho?
A: Uh, Aunty, abhi tho college mein hoon. But Dad ka business join karun ga.
MM: Acha? Yeh tho bahut achi baat hai. Kaun hain tumhare pitah?
A: Rajesh Rathod, Aunty.
Manya's mom stood up quickly, laughing.
MM: Rajesh?!
A: Aap...unhe jaanti hain?
MM: OF course! Hum log tho--Akash--!
M: Kya hua, Ma? Aap itni excited kyun hai?
Manya's mom started to laugh.
MM: Manya, tumhare Papa aur mein Rajesh ji aur unki patni, Rukmani, ke bahut ache dost thay! Lakein...hum move ho gaye aur...
M: Really?
A: Wow!
MM: Lakein, ek dor hai jo humein baandhi rakhti hai. Aur hmu jaante hain ki unhe yeh vaada yaad hoga!
A: Kaun sa vaada? Wait a minute, Aunty! AAp kahin...Mom ki...college ki best friend tho nahin?! Mr. SHarma ki wife..of course!!!
MM: Akash, hum unhe yaad hain?
A: Yaad? OF course! Woh bhi kisi vaade ki baat kerte rehte hain...
M: Kaun sa vaada, MA?
MM: Ek vaada. Shaadiyon ke baad ka vaada..
A: Kaun sa?
Manya's Mom clapped her hands and laughed.
MM: Tum dhono ki...shaadi ka vaada!!!
Manya and Akash sprang up from their seats, both yelling at the same time...
M/A: KYA?!!!!!
MM: Akash, jaldhi se apna number dho! Main abhi Rukmani ko call kerti hoon!!
------------Meanwhile as Manya's Mom talked on phone----
M: Can you believe this, Akash?
A: I know! Apne purane vaade hum per tauk rahein hain yeh log! I mean, hamari shaadi?
Manya hit him on his arm.
M: Itni burri tarha se kyun keh rahe ho tum?
A: Seriously, Manya! MAin aur tum--God!
M: Eh, mujhe bhi koi shauk nahin hai tumse shaadi kerna ka!
A: Aur mujhe bhi koi shauk nahin hai, so relax!
Manya bit her lower lip.
M: Lakein, Akash, maine Ma ki koi baat ka inkaar nahin kiya...
A: Oh no, MAnya! Mujh per ab filmy muth hona! NAhin inkaar kiya tho ab karo!
M: MAin kaise karun, Akash?!
A: Tumne hi kerna hai MAnya! MEre Dad tho itne strict hain ki...mujhe poore ghar se nikaal dhein ge, Manya!
M: No way! Inkaar tum karo ge!
A: Tum karogi!
MM: BACHO!! Idhar ao!!!
A: Yahan aana tho meri zindagi ki sabse badi bhool ban gayee!!
M: How dare you!
They both walked inside to MM.
MM: Unhe vaada achi tarha yaad hai, aur yehi woh wajje hai ki Akash ke jitne rishte aye woh tukraate gaye.
M: Aur mere?
Akash smirked.
A: Tumhare liye kaun rishta laye ga?
MAnya glared at him and whispered,
M: Tumhare papa!
Akash gave her a dirty look.
A: Lakein, Aunty, yeh zindagi ka faisale...
MM: Aur Akash, tumhare dad yeh sun ker itne khush hue ke tum aur Manya ek doosre ke friends ho! Jaante ho unne kya kaha hai?
A: Uh, kya?
MM: Tumhe is rishte se koi inkaar nahin hoga. Bolo, Akash? Hai koi inkaar?
Akash stared at MM as Manya hit his leg from behind. The pain suddenly reminded him of his father's wrath.
A: NO!
Manya turned and stared at him, shocked.
M: AKASH!
MM: Main jaanti thi! Ab tho bas Rajesh aur Rukmani ki annai ki dher hai!
She moved to MAnya and Akash, putting her arms around their shoulders.
MM: MAin bahut khush hoon!
As she hugged them, MAnya and Akash glared at each other disgustingly....
So...are wedding bells around the corner? Or will they speak up? Or is it just that deep down Akash and MAnya don't mind getting married? Stay tuned to find out!
