Out of nowhere,
HE felt the sudden urge to ask HER whether she has ever experienced "True Love" in life.
He looked directly into her eyes and asked,
"Kabhi sachcha Pyaar kia hai tumne?"
.............
Yes, he knows she has a boyfriend named Kartik. That man seems a little bit, no a little too much, actually quite an impulsive person but how does that matter? At the end of the day, that man IS her boyfriend. He knows that.
Still he asked, because somewhere he knows that, having a boyfriend or girlfriend or wife or husband has nothing to do with the experience of True Love. You don't always get to experience your true love in your so called spouse or partner. Even Digvijay has a legally married wife Ruhi but THE DJ is certainly not in love with her and who knows it better than him, The Neil Bharadawaj.
Simone's face, his college days, their canteen talks about relationships, about DJ flashed in front of his eyes & he couldn't help but felt a bit uncomfortable. Dammmmn he hates Mahajans.
..............
"Main nehi janti Neil, ush scandal k waqt Mummy Papa ki kya halat rahe honge. Bas mujhe itna pata hai, ush waqt Mummy ne Papa ka haat kashke pakde, ek jodi kapde mein Mahajan mansion se Rishikesh chali gayi thi" : Yuvika spoke not looking at him while his eyes were only on her.
Yuvika continued : "Woh hota hai sachcha Pyaar"
Neil smiled
Yuvika finally looked into Neil's eyes & answered,
"Kartik bhi tho, apna sab kuch chhodkar serf mere liye Rishikesh se Delhi aya hai"
Neil seemed taken aback....
"Par han, Maine kabhi Kartik ke liye kuch nehi kia. Pata hai Neil, main bhi Kartik k liye kuch karna chahti hnu, main....."
Before she could finish, she heard Neil saying
"Tho chhod doooo ushe......."
.
.
.
.
Whaaat? Yeh kya mazak hai Neil, tum bhi na : Yuvika though felt something odd in his voice but laughed knowing Neil's sarcastic nature.
Neil too joined her & laughed.
Even though both of them were laughing but for the very first time Yuvika could feel something unusual, something that made her body stiff. Those words kept ringing in her mind,
Chhhoooood dooooooo ushe.......
But the sound felt different, in her mind it seemed a different voice and not that of Neil's own voice.
...........
He could sense Yuvika being uncomfortable.
~ Truths are always uncomfortable and true love stories "Sachcha Pyaar" rises from uncomfortable circumstances only ~
.
.
.
"TUM Pyaar hi nehi karti Kartik se Yuvika. Pyaar karti tho uncomfortable nehi offended hoti. Par sahi kaha tumne ek Bhoomi aunty hi hain jinhone sachcha pyaar kia hai" : Neil murmured under his breath
.........
"Aacha Neil, tum batao tumne kabhi kisi se sachcha pyaar kia hai? Dekhke tho nehi lagta" : Yuvika finally decided to act like Bhoomi's daughter.
Yuvika expected some sarcasm but to her surprise Neil confessed, "Nehi kia" looking directly into her eyes
On that point his gaze on Yuvika was sooo intense that as if digging a hole in her heart.
She couldn't take that anymore and decided to change the atmosphere,
"Bolo tho koi ladki dhoond du tumhare liye? Kaisi Ladki chahiye tumne Neil?"
Neil smiled & asked, "For time pass or for sachcha pyaar?"
Hitting on his left arm Yuvika cleared,
"Obviously for sachcha pyaar"
Neil stood up from the chair & told,
"Do saal pehle trekking trip pe ek ladki Mili thi, Bilkul ushki jaisi ek ladki dhoondna! Bilkul apni jaisi ek Yuvika dhoondna mere liye, bas ushka surname Mahajan nehi, Nagar ho"
With this, Neil walked out of the restaurant without looking back.
Yuvika was too shocked to react, suddenly she felt some hard material & looked at the table
........... Smart watch.........
"Yeh tho wohi smart watch hai jo Papa ne gift Kia tha aur main ne ush trekking trip pe khooo dia tha" : Yuvika realised.
.
.
.
.
The term "True Love" is subjective. It's not always about walking hand in hand through ups & down like Bhoomi & Prem did. Sometimes it's about accepting the reality that you couldn't live the love you deserved because of having a greater purpose in life. As Bhoomi says, "Kuch bada Karne K liye Sacrifice karna padhta hai"
Sometimes, "True Love is sacrificing the desire to live the TRUE LOVE"
.
.
.
A tear dropped from Yuvika's eyes as she muttered,
"Jhootey ho tum Neil, YOU ARE A LIAR!
Pyaar tho kia hai tumne, Yuvika Mahajan se na sahi, Yuvika Nagar se tho sachcha pyaar hi kia tha tumne"
