part 17
No words were spoken throughout the journey or from the movement RM said those things to them, only thing they said was "bye" to RM
There was a pin drop silence in the car but then too it was full of noise
noise of chatting, talk done by AR within themselves
Their mind, heart, soul was clouded with
All the close movements they shared and whatever RM said, it was playing again and again in their soul in the whole journey back to home
tonight their soul was trying to solve a puzzle...puzzle which would change their live, their relationship forever at the end
they couldn't understand wat was happening to them these days, wat they r doing is right or wrong AND wat they r feeling is right or wrong
but one thing they both were 100% sure...
that things between them were changing
for good or bad they jus couldn't figure out
THEY KNEW N HAVE NOW REALIZED THAT
they have started feeling differently for each other
they have started feeling extra happy, n special with each other's company equally sad without each other
they wanted to hold each other now-a-days
be in each others arms
they hav started thinking about each other throughout the day, throughout the night..
Or rather every passing second now-a-days they think of each other only...
with every heart beat they take they think of jus each other only...
their eyes search for each other only when they r away from each other and their ears want to hear each other's melting silly voice only
finally reaching home turning towards the passenger seat he looked at her...she was leaning back on the seat, her eyes were closed,
few hair strings were laying on her face loosely
if anyone would look at her right now, would think she is relaxing or may be sleeping but
only armi knew or rather understood she is lost into the crowd of the thoughts
in the same thoughts in which he is in
"dumbo" he called out
"yea" she jerked....first looked around and then him
seeing she is stepping out of the car he said "i have forgotten my pager at their place only, i should go back to get it"
she nodded n walked towards the main door
both knew it was a plain lie...she didn't stop him becoz she understood he wants sometime alone far away from everything, everyone
***
he drove rashly...not giving importance to the world outside he really escaped some accidents because of getting lost within
after driving for an hour he parked his car near the basket ball court
near a deserted basket ball court...where no living species was there after all it was quiet late in the night now
picking a flower from a nearby plant he started plucking its delicate petals one by one saying "i do love her" then "i dont love her"
but silently wishing "i do love her" wins this race only
BACK TO RIDZ
pushing the sliding windows on one end she sat leaning on the other edge of the sliding
shutting her eyes she silently prayed to god to show her the right path... right road...help her to distinguish between right and wrong
becoz it seemed to her as if she had lost her senses f making correct decision...she couldn't trust herself after her past experience (remember adnan)
as she recollected the dinner at RM's place
a smile broke on her face, when she visualized how lovingly he feed her...after making sure she was full he ate his food...how he tried to relax to when the sad pt came in the movie
unknowingly it was then she fetched her answers
it was as if god heard her silent prayer and blessed her with the answer
"trust words that come from ur heart...leave behind her body, soul and mind...jus follow ur heart" echoed inside her
words which his dad used to say whenever she used to be in a crises echoed inside her
leaving behind everything...or keeping aside everything she thought of listening to her heart...following her heart only like before
her eyes were still closed...the moon was smiling with her, giving her company tonight
cold wind was inviting her...welcoming her to the new world...world of love, world for lover
remembering all those movements she spent with him, she softly said "i love u armaan"
hearing her own voice a smile broke on her face...smile which reached her eyes...smile which made her face glow more than the moon
slowly opening her eyes she looked at their photo frame in front of her...a childhood photo of her and armi's...pic in which they were pulling each others hair
she walked towards the frame, picking up the frame she repeated "i love u and i promise i will always do"
after a while looking at the mehendi she smiled and walked towards the bed
removing the extra mehendi cone she had taken from the young gurl she wrote armaan's name on her hands
exactly on the same place where engagement ring is worn
smiling, blushing she walked back to the window, sitting again on the sliding she looked outside
she wanted to yell and tell everyone she is in love but decided to first tell armaan
she wasn't those types of girls who believes guys should only first confess, she believed and lived in todays world where there is no difference between a gurl and guy
but she also felt the need to first find out if he loved her too, being soo close to him she knew she could easily find wat he fells for her
BACK TO ARMAAN
like always whenever he was in a confusion, problem...he used to ask god to provide him with the solution by plucking petals method
he still remembers his friends used to laugh at him sometime when he used to try to fetch his answers this way
plucking the last petal he smiled, throwing his arms up in the sky n yelled saying "i love u dumbo"
the inside wall of misconception was broken by him when he heard echo of his own voice
his heart was smiling brightly which could be seen by his charming face
he atlas fetched the answer to the endless questions he had been asking to himself
the questions which mobbed him day and night
he suddenly felt lighter and the dark night seemed to be colorful as if the world just now has been colored for him...for her or rather for them
smiling to himself he remembered the old days
days of school when thy were punished, rusticated together for bugging irritating the teachers to the core...
for locking their principal in the wash room
days of col when they used to bunk lectures and roam around the city for no reason
days of medical exams when they used to study together day and night
lastly the no of pranks they played on each other and ofcourse together on everyone
after an hr or soo he decided to get back home thinking "she must be tensed after all she must be knowing the pager thing was a plain lie"
getting up from the ground he thought "we surely r living dairy of each others life...nothing means nothing is hidden between us....we know each page of each others life"
driving back home a smile was stuck on his face and heart was flooded with memories...their close proximity memories...movements when they were lost in each other
*********
Rolling his keys in his finger he looked up at her window
a smile rested on his lips when he saw her leaning on the sliding
as he looked at her more and more
his eyes widened with utter shock seeing she wasn't sitting she was...was actually sleeping
"wat the hell has she lost it" he said to himself while running inside the house
he knew she could fall down if she bends slightly towards her left
and would hurt herself very badly
he ran upstairs...as fast as his legs could take him...mentally getting more and more angry on her...for her stupid act
and sacred too thinking about the consequences
as he reached the room he let out a sign of relief seeing she was still in the same position
he walked ahead keeping his eyes on her only
he jus couldn't stop himself from smiling after seeing the innocent expression she is holding while sleeping
she looked absolutely adorable to him
he scooped her in his strong arms while looking at her lovingly
he then noticed her smile widened when he picked her up in his arms
he started walking towards the bed while laughing slightly seeing she sleeps like hasn't slept for months
he placed her on the bed while she made funny sounds in her sleep
brushing the hair away from her sparking face he smiled
after wrapping a cover over her he left the room
"dumbo kal tumhare class lunga wait n watch" he promised himself seeing her for the last time before leaving
he soon walked inside his room mentally noting down his most important work now; fix a grill outside her window
****************
the night was beautiful, amazing for these two confused stubborn idiots
finally they knew wat was happening to them these days
smiling with the morning shining sun she woke up
as she recalled the night she smiled further n then got confused seeing she was in her bed...
as far as she remembered she was waiting for him sitting on the sliding n may be she slept there itself
throwing the thoughts aside she walked towards his room to check is he back or not
slowly peeping inside she saw him sleeping like a child
she glanced at his face, she couldnt stop smiling seeing he calmness on his innocent face
"armaan" she called him again n again while now standing right next to his huge bed
as she did not wanted them to be late for the hospital
seeing he wasn't responding she thought of pouring a jar of water on him but then remembering he must have slept late she dismissed the idea and started walking out of the room
"soo u found a new bed to sleep yesterday night" he said as he looked at her making her way outside
she stood there frozen biting her lips
"wat u would like to have coffee or tea" she tried to change the on-going topic
seeing he didnt reply, she took hold of her ears n said "sorry" with a sweet puppy face which could easily melt anyone
he smiled seeing her n warned her "dont do that again" pausing for some seconds he continued "coffee"
***************
"morning mom" armi said in a sleepy tone while entering keerti's room
smiling at him keerti said "good morning...she looked at him sitting on the bed n continued "soo how was ur dinner yesterday"
he smiled remembering the night "wonderful"
"thats good" keerti smiled becoz she knew y the dinner was wonderful
analyzing the surrounding papers armi asked "wat r u doing mom"
"im going to dubai with ridhima" keerti said while looking at the papers and etc stuff
"wat? Why? When?" came a instant reply from him while pinching himself thinking may be its a dream
"we r going there to buy some latest equipments for sangivni and most importantly she has to represent sangivni in a important seminar" keerti informed him proudly...she was very proud of ridz, she had seen how much ridz is working for the betterment of the hospital
armi smiled and frowned at the same time, he too felt nice listening to the news but felt bad that he wouldn't be able to meet her for some days, he then thought if he could accompany her instead of his mom,
"but mom if u both will go who will take important decisions of sangivni, who will take the lead of sangivni..."
keerti understood wat armi meant and wanted, somewhere she thought he was right too "ur right armaan...ok do one thing u go with ridhima, i will stay back for sangivni...i hope u dont mind going with her" she smiled n replied emphasizing on the last words
"have i ever said no to u" he replied innocently like a obedient son
seeing the broad smile on armi face she confirmed "k then its done u both r leaving after two days"
**************
armi entered a big showroom the walls of the huge showroom was painted red and white...bright lights were all around...styled interiors were done
as his eyes traveled around he saw gorgeous sales girls only
he smiled his friend like always has a gorgeous girl as sales girls
"hey beautiful" he said with a charming smile to one of the girl
she smiled back, after checking him out she said "hey handsome wat can i do for u"
"nothing much sweety jus give this card to ur boss" he placed his business card in front of her
"thats it" she smiled n walked to the cabin
after a while a guy dressed up in blue jeans black shirt came out smiling broadly
"hey man wats up" he said looking at armi delightfully
"hey dude" armi replied while hugging his old friend who is going to be a gr8 help for him in his sweet surprise he has planned for ridz
after all he was the only one who could help him out in such a short span of time
"wat...not possible at all" came a instant reply from ANGAD after a while
plz yaar itna choota sa kaam tu nahi kar sakta" he tried to convince him while placing a friendly warm smile on his lips
"chota" he said sarcastically
"dost dost naa zindagi tujhpe..." he started singing sadly...trying hard to emotionally blackmail him
"yaar its not possible in two days" angad
interrupted, tried to reason with a stubborn armi
"dost dost..." he started singing again not giving importance to his words as he knew his friend will eventually agree becoz he could once say no to him but couldn't say no to something related to ridz
they all three was good pals in collage days... playing pranks on anyone and everyone was all they used to do
angad interrupted him again "i will try if it is possible"
he stopped singing n softly, cocks his eye brow "try"
"mera baap tera kaam ho gayega bas khush ab toh meri jaan baksh de" irritated angad finally gave up
he knew armaan he wouldn't leave him peacefully until he agrees to him
armi took a tiny scrap of paper, grabbed a pen from the pen stand n drew something
"here u go" he handed him the paper...after giving him a friendly hug he left the showroom
while a broad smile played on his lips
unknowingly angad smiled seeing the glow of happiness on his friend
he was happy for armi-ridz...he was sure they would be happy together
***************
"where were u? I was searching 4 u in he whole hospital" ridz asked armi as she spotted him
"me? Here only" he said keeping his expression as natural as possible
"ohhk lets hav our lunch im damm hungry" she said while rubbing her hand on her stomach
Seeing the lift was full and they had to wait for another few mins, she looked at him "stairs?"
he nodded in affirmation with a soft smile after seeing her condition
how desperately she wanted to go to the canteen... dying to feed her empty stomach
as they entered the stairs their mind revisited the day when she slipped and landed in his arms...how they were lost in each other and finally how they tried to get out of the embarrassing and shy situation by arguing over heels
she blushed while recollecting the incident at the same time laughed slightly remembering the argument
armi too smiled remembering it and at the same time
wished, hoped and
silently prayed that she falls again, again in his arms
seeing she wasn't falling today or rather not loosing her balance he frowned
he looked again at her n understood she was lost in her own world...own thoughts
a devilish smile came on his face with a devilish plan...within fraction of seconds he tried to make her fall purposely but
he failed...he frowned again seeing his failure
but wasn't destiny n luck resting by his side
and wasn't she too by his side now
as they approached the last set of steps
she looked at him and the next second tripped purposely keeping her expression accordingly
jus perfect, as natural as possible
his thoughts were suddenly broken as he heard a small gasp
within fraction of seconds he grabbed her by her waist, preventing her to fall
but accidentally he lost his balance while trying to prevent her to fall
and they rolled down the steps
together...clutched to each other...her eyes shut tightly sacred becoz of unexpected fall
their unexpected fall came to a haunt as they landed on the ground
her eyes still shut while she was now pinned under him...breathing heavily
she shivered...trembled beneath him...just couldn't gather courage to open and look at him soo close to her
it seemed to her as if she is dreaming
his heart raced seeing her soo close to him...exactly where he saw her in his dreams few nighs before
she looked innocent in the simple pink short kurti and dark blue jeans wearing just a smile on her face and dark mehendi on her hand today
"no make up was needed for her to look exceptional, different from others, elegant, beautiful, gorgeous or in short angel" he thought
with gr8 difficulty he mentally prepared himself to get off her thinking his heavy body would be crushing her delicate body
feeling his breath going far from her face...not kissing her delicate skin now, she recollected herself and opened her eyes slowly
standing back on her legs she blushed and started walking again besides him
while they made their way towards canteen, they looked at each other deeply once...
one deep look was enough for them to reach each other's souls...they could hear each other's souls voice which was yelling "i love u armaan/ridz"
their soul...facial expression...expressive eyes...twinkling smile...glowing face jus confession to each other that
they do love each other...they have finally realized ho madly...truly...deeply love each other
they wished that the world around them could disappear forever, leaving them all alone
....................
PART 18
Not used to knocking at his door she opened the door n walked in saying "armaan aunty is calling u down"
as her voice traveled towards him he got sacred n hung up his on going phone after yelling "i dont need loan u get that straightly"
a look on his face told her something is wrong...fishy
"but what?" she wondered
"im coming down in two mins dumbo" he said after drawing a deep sigh n wrapping a innocent n normal expression on his face
dismissing watever he said, she questioned him in a no non sense tone "wat r u hiding?"
keeping the same innocent look he walked towards her while replying casually "m... me? Hiding something from u? No re not at all"
she marched out of the room angrily without even caring to reply him
she was dead sure in the afternoon and now both time he had lied to her
which was pinching her badly jus couldn't stand when he lies to her or rather tries to lie to her
he cursed himself for not knowing how to lie properly to her...
one thing they both were mostly unsuccessful all these years was lying to each other
***************
after awhile he walked down n scanned the living room... He saw ridz eyes were fixed on her laptop while her expression were telling loud n clearly that she is still angry
sitting right next to her, sapna was watching some movie playing on the television
he went n sat next to sapna, giving a slight smile towards ridz
which she didn't acknowledged...at all
finally getting bored by the silence which was spread all around the drawing room sapna questioned "wat r u doing ridz im getting dam bored??"
she said without looking up "me? Nm im finding some classes...classes which can teach armaan how to lie without getting caught" pausing n finally looking up at armi she continued "dont u dare to say u were not lying firstly in the afternoon and now half an hour back"
"shit man i seriously need to learn to lie, she had caught me in the afternoon too...wat should i do now?" he whispered under his breath
"wat r u hiding bro tell me naa?" this time sapna questioned him with a confused look pasted on her face
without thinking once he said whatever next thing came to his mind "i can't tell anyone...i dont think everything should be told"
both known to be stubborn kept arguing like kids...argued like never...both were determined...ridz was determined to know wat he is hiding and armi determined to hide it at any cost….somewhere both were right, both were right acc 2 their pt of view
all this while sapna was trying to reason with armaan but was failing to make him spell out everything
"being in love is surely difficult" he thought
seeing there is no solution to this endless argument she suggested shooting her eyebrow upward "ok then i challenge u to beat me in car racing...if i win u have to tell me wat ur hiding...if u win which is impossible i will not ask u anything"
"challenge accepted" came a instant reply
thinking for a min she said "k then see u at bandstand (a place where race will end, jus a random name"
seeing him nodding she looked at her laptop n soon shut it down while muttering "u have to tell me everything, by hell or hook"
"o god i cant loose this race or else my little surprise will get screwed up" he muttered under his breath
sapna looked shocked and excited both at the same time...shock becoz armaan was hiding something from ridz it was something which was impossible and excited becoz of the race
she still remembered AR fun races before armi went to states...she n angie would be by armi side and atul-angad would be by ridz side
but motive behind those races was fun but today its not fun
"common guys" sapna said throwing her confusion thoughts - wats the lie about
with full confident AR walked towards the main door
looking out of the window at ridz sapna smiled n wished "all the best"
"i think ur bro needs this more than me soo kindly plz wish him" she replied curtly
"dumbo over confidents is not good" he replied while giggling slightly as her anger rose above sea level
in exchange she just mimicking him
seeing her sweet expressions n the way she mimicking his words armi just couldn't stop himself smiling at her
for once he felt like getting down n disclosing everything to her but he just couldn't do this...he had to win this race by anyhow
what fate had for them only time would tell?
Who will win and who will loss only time will tell?
Becoz Time knows everything about everyone's life
"On your marks...Get set....Go!!" sapna yelled while he signaled her thumps down with a smirk
both the cars roared almost at once with the same spirit while passing a challenging look played in their eyes
both knew they both were an amazing riders...going back to the old races taken place between them, both had sometimes won and sometimes lost
thankfully the road was not jammed....they didn't meet heavy traffic...ten minutes onto the race and both were neck to neck
they were playing with accelerate, break, gear
waving a bye followed by thumps down sign she accelerated further gaining way ahead of him or rather making her car fly in the air, letting the breeze kiss her car
"everything is fair in love and war" was playing in armi's mind...he knew today it was hard to win all becoz she looked as if its impossible to stop her to win this race
but doesn't impossible itself says i-m-possible
he smiled...a devilish smile played on his lips
picking up his mobile he dialed a no "angad"
after two mins talk everything was set...the trap was set...nothing could stop him from winning
he knew how to make her mind off track
sitting right besides him sapna yelled after armi hung up his phone call "bro this is cheating, im calling ridz right away"
"k then im calling mom n informing her about her darling daughter's sweetheart dr amit" he said with a smirk stuck on his face
listening to him sapna turned red with anger, turning her face to look outside she wished ridz doesn't get trapped
"everything is fair in love and war my darling sister" he said looking at ridz car which was marginally ahead of his car
"man she is too good" he whispered, marveling at her fighting spirit
he smiled seeing she took her left turn to use s.v road route instead of juhu road which he preferred
unknown to the trap set she was enjoying the race while listening to the loud music playing in the car and tapping her fingers on the steering wheel
imagining her victory she smiled and giggled...looking around she pushed the accelerate even more hard
armi smiled widely as he reached half way of the desired destination
on another hand ridz had crossed more than half the way but unknown to the fact she had reached the exact place where a trap was waiting for her...only for her
she rolled down the windows further to enjoy the fresh cool air
while her ears witnessed someone calling her name, the voice seemed familiar to her heart where all her dear ones stays
she turned her face instantly to her right to look who was it
for one second forgetting she is in a middle of something important...very important for her right now
as she recognized the person driving his red sports bike parallel to her she screamed with joy "Angad hi" and
unknowingly...unwantedly her speed slowed down
she looked ahead n back to him smiling, glad to see him after few months
"hey howz u? wats up?" he questioned while making sure he is still running his bike parallel to her car, keeping their speed almost same
"im fine and" she left the words hanging there itself as her senses recollected, reminded she was in middle of a race...a race which was as important as oxygen for living
one wrong question "wats up" had made ridz senses awake
widely
"gtg will call u later" she said as fast as she could and drove away
but little did she knew her small mistake...two mins mistake was more than enough for armi to climb the winning stair
she reached the destination n hit her palm angrily on the steering wheel as she saw the sight in front of her
there armi stood leaning on his car with huge or big no too big grin on his face
for one movement she couldn't stop herself from smiling that too straight from her heart seeing how happy he is looking as if he just won an ossar award
"crazy...yes we r crazy... mad but amazing too" she said to herself happily
she lost the race but then too she felt happy...happy becoz she raced today after such a long time
after armi left and all that bad things occurred in her life she didnt race with anyone
she was soo lost, within herself all these months to even think of all this...racing and all
SCREEECHH!!! She smiled slightly while pulling her car to a halt
**************
slowly walking inside her room armi smiled seeing he wasn't there
smiling 2 himself he saw the washroom lights were on…he quickly kept the gift wrapped in a silver wrapper n left the room
he was sure after seeing the gift she will surely forget everything....she is still crazy behind shoes n scandals he knew it well
a warm smile came on her lips when her eyes landed on the gift
she walked towards it n unwrapped it as soon as possible
gifts is one thing which could change her mood...whenever in the whole year and how much ever, gifts r always welcomed by her
"wow its beautiful" she looked with amazement at the black low heels scandals
reading the small note kept next to it "sorry sweetie...i will surely tell u everything just give me few days" she cursed herself while hitting her head slightly for being soo childish and stubborn the night before
she smiled with a twinkle in her eyes saying "i love u more and more for all these small things"
*****************
life is beautiful and as colorful as a rainbow if ur in love...same thing happened with them in the next two days, life was beautiful for them...they were as happy as any kid would be when he gets more than expected toys and chocolate...their life was changed from the night when they confessed to themselves
they were walking on cloud...cloud of happiness, love
love is understanding each other and each other's unsaid words or silent words
"I love u" r three little words which hold a lot of meaning...they r words which are dipped in a bowl of feeling...feeling which one has for another deep inside his/her heart
these beautiful pure words can only be told in form of words?
of course not
it can also be told through eyes, facial expressions, body gesture, smile more importantly with ur behavior
AR confessed their love or rather said those three words in these two days words endless times through each other's a dotting smile, eyes, behavior, facial expressions etc...through everything and anything except in forms of words ie using their silky voice
they believed when ur love of ur life says these golden words through these ways one should be more happier becoz in words anyone can say but in these ways only ur true love can say
these two days were hectic or very hectic compare to normal days but
then too it couldn't force the smile to leave his new house...smile which had made AR lips his new house...it couldn't force the smile to leave their glowing face...face which after hectic workload also didn't fade or looked dull, tired
*************
Sitting down on her chair back she sighed...still she had two hrs work left and then routine rounds before she leaves for her trip...a business trip to dubai
time was running out of her hand and she needed to speed up
her head was hurting and all she wished or needed right now was a hot creamy coffee
she started to read the next file when she heard a knock
without looking up she ordered 'come in'
when a hot steaming coffee landed next to her she looked up
a canteen guy was standing there, she questioned him "Dr armaan has sent this coffee"
she smiled appreciatory
after sometime "chale?" he asked while entering the cabin
"u go armaan i have to go for rounds now, u have to pack ur bags too" she said while picking her lab court to wear it
"ahh...rounds...well i jus did ur side rounds too" he replied with a tiring smile
she smiled affectionately at him while grabbing his arm...she giggled n replied "thanks but on thanks" n soon he joined her, they laughed together
they soon walked out of the hospital chatting, giggling and laughing
****************
Finally they walked out of the airport smiling
The journey was good, she was enjoying looking out of the window...enjoying the beautiful sight
and his head was leaning on her shoulder as he slept peacefully through out the journey
she felt nice seeing him sleeping on her shoulder
the light breeze was blowing...it seemed as if it was welcoming them
soon they stepped out of the car n looked at the beautiful hotel
unknown to the fact once they get inside they would be shocked to learn something
something which they never thought
............................................
sonia
No words were spoken throughout the journey or from the movement RM said those things to them, only thing they said was "bye" to RM
There was a pin drop silence in the car but then too it was full of noise
noise of chatting, talk done by AR within themselves
Their mind, heart, soul was clouded with
All the close movements they shared and whatever RM said, it was playing again and again in their soul in the whole journey back to home
tonight their soul was trying to solve a puzzle...puzzle which would change their live, their relationship forever at the end
they couldn't understand wat was happening to them these days, wat they r doing is right or wrong AND wat they r feeling is right or wrong
but one thing they both were 100% sure...
that things between them were changing
for good or bad they jus couldn't figure out
THEY KNEW N HAVE NOW REALIZED THAT
they have started feeling differently for each other
they have started feeling extra happy, n special with each other's company equally sad without each other
they wanted to hold each other now-a-days
be in each others arms
they hav started thinking about each other throughout the day, throughout the night..
Or rather every passing second now-a-days they think of each other only...
with every heart beat they take they think of jus each other only...
their eyes search for each other only when they r away from each other and their ears want to hear each other's melting silly voice only
finally reaching home turning towards the passenger seat he looked at her...she was leaning back on the seat, her eyes were closed,
few hair strings were laying on her face loosely
if anyone would look at her right now, would think she is relaxing or may be sleeping but
only armi knew or rather understood she is lost into the crowd of the thoughts
in the same thoughts in which he is in
"dumbo" he called out
"yea" she jerked....first looked around and then him
seeing she is stepping out of the car he said "i have forgotten my pager at their place only, i should go back to get it"
she nodded n walked towards the main door
both knew it was a plain lie...she didn't stop him becoz she understood he wants sometime alone far away from everything, everyone
***
he drove rashly...not giving importance to the world outside he really escaped some accidents because of getting lost within
after driving for an hour he parked his car near the basket ball court
near a deserted basket ball court...where no living species was there after all it was quiet late in the night now
picking a flower from a nearby plant he started plucking its delicate petals one by one saying "i do love her" then "i dont love her"
but silently wishing "i do love her" wins this race only
BACK TO RIDZ
pushing the sliding windows on one end she sat leaning on the other edge of the sliding
shutting her eyes she silently prayed to god to show her the right path... right road...help her to distinguish between right and wrong
becoz it seemed to her as if she had lost her senses f making correct decision...she couldn't trust herself after her past experience (remember adnan)
as she recollected the dinner at RM's place
a smile broke on her face, when she visualized how lovingly he feed her...after making sure she was full he ate his food...how he tried to relax to when the sad pt came in the movie
unknowingly it was then she fetched her answers
it was as if god heard her silent prayer and blessed her with the answer
"trust words that come from ur heart...leave behind her body, soul and mind...jus follow ur heart" echoed inside her
words which his dad used to say whenever she used to be in a crises echoed inside her
leaving behind everything...or keeping aside everything she thought of listening to her heart...following her heart only like before
her eyes were still closed...the moon was smiling with her, giving her company tonight
cold wind was inviting her...welcoming her to the new world...world of love, world for lover
remembering all those movements she spent with him, she softly said "i love u armaan"
hearing her own voice a smile broke on her face...smile which reached her eyes...smile which made her face glow more than the moon
slowly opening her eyes she looked at their photo frame in front of her...a childhood photo of her and armi's...pic in which they were pulling each others hair
she walked towards the frame, picking up the frame she repeated "i love u and i promise i will always do"
after a while looking at the mehendi she smiled and walked towards the bed
removing the extra mehendi cone she had taken from the young gurl she wrote armaan's name on her hands
exactly on the same place where engagement ring is worn
smiling, blushing she walked back to the window, sitting again on the sliding she looked outside
she wanted to yell and tell everyone she is in love but decided to first tell armaan
she wasn't those types of girls who believes guys should only first confess, she believed and lived in todays world where there is no difference between a gurl and guy
but she also felt the need to first find out if he loved her too, being soo close to him she knew she could easily find wat he fells for her
BACK TO ARMAAN
like always whenever he was in a confusion, problem...he used to ask god to provide him with the solution by plucking petals method
he still remembers his friends used to laugh at him sometime when he used to try to fetch his answers this way
plucking the last petal he smiled, throwing his arms up in the sky n yelled saying "i love u dumbo"
the inside wall of misconception was broken by him when he heard echo of his own voice
his heart was smiling brightly which could be seen by his charming face
he atlas fetched the answer to the endless questions he had been asking to himself
the questions which mobbed him day and night
he suddenly felt lighter and the dark night seemed to be colorful as if the world just now has been colored for him...for her or rather for them
smiling to himself he remembered the old days
days of school when thy were punished, rusticated together for bugging irritating the teachers to the core...
for locking their principal in the wash room
days of col when they used to bunk lectures and roam around the city for no reason
days of medical exams when they used to study together day and night
lastly the no of pranks they played on each other and ofcourse together on everyone
after an hr or soo he decided to get back home thinking "she must be tensed after all she must be knowing the pager thing was a plain lie"
getting up from the ground he thought "we surely r living dairy of each others life...nothing means nothing is hidden between us....we know each page of each others life"
driving back home a smile was stuck on his face and heart was flooded with memories...their close proximity memories...movements when they were lost in each other
*********
Rolling his keys in his finger he looked up at her window
a smile rested on his lips when he saw her leaning on the sliding
as he looked at her more and more
his eyes widened with utter shock seeing she wasn't sitting she was...was actually sleeping
"wat the hell has she lost it" he said to himself while running inside the house
he knew she could fall down if she bends slightly towards her left
and would hurt herself very badly
he ran upstairs...as fast as his legs could take him...mentally getting more and more angry on her...for her stupid act
and sacred too thinking about the consequences
as he reached the room he let out a sign of relief seeing she was still in the same position
he walked ahead keeping his eyes on her only
he jus couldn't stop himself from smiling after seeing the innocent expression she is holding while sleeping
she looked absolutely adorable to him
he scooped her in his strong arms while looking at her lovingly
he then noticed her smile widened when he picked her up in his arms
he started walking towards the bed while laughing slightly seeing she sleeps like hasn't slept for months
he placed her on the bed while she made funny sounds in her sleep
brushing the hair away from her sparking face he smiled
after wrapping a cover over her he left the room
"dumbo kal tumhare class lunga wait n watch" he promised himself seeing her for the last time before leaving
he soon walked inside his room mentally noting down his most important work now; fix a grill outside her window
****************
the night was beautiful, amazing for these two confused stubborn idiots
finally they knew wat was happening to them these days
smiling with the morning shining sun she woke up
as she recalled the night she smiled further n then got confused seeing she was in her bed...
as far as she remembered she was waiting for him sitting on the sliding n may be she slept there itself
throwing the thoughts aside she walked towards his room to check is he back or not
slowly peeping inside she saw him sleeping like a child
she glanced at his face, she couldnt stop smiling seeing he calmness on his innocent face
"armaan" she called him again n again while now standing right next to his huge bed
as she did not wanted them to be late for the hospital
seeing he wasn't responding she thought of pouring a jar of water on him but then remembering he must have slept late she dismissed the idea and started walking out of the room
"soo u found a new bed to sleep yesterday night" he said as he looked at her making her way outside
she stood there frozen biting her lips
"wat u would like to have coffee or tea" she tried to change the on-going topic
seeing he didnt reply, she took hold of her ears n said "sorry" with a sweet puppy face which could easily melt anyone
he smiled seeing her n warned her "dont do that again" pausing for some seconds he continued "coffee"
***************
"morning mom" armi said in a sleepy tone while entering keerti's room
smiling at him keerti said "good morning...she looked at him sitting on the bed n continued "soo how was ur dinner yesterday"
he smiled remembering the night "wonderful"
"thats good" keerti smiled becoz she knew y the dinner was wonderful
analyzing the surrounding papers armi asked "wat r u doing mom"
"im going to dubai with ridhima" keerti said while looking at the papers and etc stuff
"wat? Why? When?" came a instant reply from him while pinching himself thinking may be its a dream
"we r going there to buy some latest equipments for sangivni and most importantly she has to represent sangivni in a important seminar" keerti informed him proudly...she was very proud of ridz, she had seen how much ridz is working for the betterment of the hospital
armi smiled and frowned at the same time, he too felt nice listening to the news but felt bad that he wouldn't be able to meet her for some days, he then thought if he could accompany her instead of his mom,
"but mom if u both will go who will take important decisions of sangivni, who will take the lead of sangivni..."
keerti understood wat armi meant and wanted, somewhere she thought he was right too "ur right armaan...ok do one thing u go with ridhima, i will stay back for sangivni...i hope u dont mind going with her" she smiled n replied emphasizing on the last words
"have i ever said no to u" he replied innocently like a obedient son
seeing the broad smile on armi face she confirmed "k then its done u both r leaving after two days"
**************
armi entered a big showroom the walls of the huge showroom was painted red and white...bright lights were all around...styled interiors were done
as his eyes traveled around he saw gorgeous sales girls only
he smiled his friend like always has a gorgeous girl as sales girls
"hey beautiful" he said with a charming smile to one of the girl
she smiled back, after checking him out she said "hey handsome wat can i do for u"
"nothing much sweety jus give this card to ur boss" he placed his business card in front of her
"thats it" she smiled n walked to the cabin
after a while a guy dressed up in blue jeans black shirt came out smiling broadly
"hey man wats up" he said looking at armi delightfully
"hey dude" armi replied while hugging his old friend who is going to be a gr8 help for him in his sweet surprise he has planned for ridz
after all he was the only one who could help him out in such a short span of time
"wat...not possible at all" came a instant reply from ANGAD after a while
plz yaar itna choota sa kaam tu nahi kar sakta" he tried to convince him while placing a friendly warm smile on his lips
"chota" he said sarcastically
"dost dost naa zindagi tujhpe..." he started singing sadly...trying hard to emotionally blackmail him
"yaar its not possible in two days" angad
interrupted, tried to reason with a stubborn armi
"dost dost..." he started singing again not giving importance to his words as he knew his friend will eventually agree becoz he could once say no to him but couldn't say no to something related to ridz
they all three was good pals in collage days... playing pranks on anyone and everyone was all they used to do
angad interrupted him again "i will try if it is possible"
he stopped singing n softly, cocks his eye brow "try"
"mera baap tera kaam ho gayega bas khush ab toh meri jaan baksh de" irritated angad finally gave up
he knew armaan he wouldn't leave him peacefully until he agrees to him
armi took a tiny scrap of paper, grabbed a pen from the pen stand n drew something
"here u go" he handed him the paper...after giving him a friendly hug he left the showroom
while a broad smile played on his lips
unknowingly angad smiled seeing the glow of happiness on his friend
he was happy for armi-ridz...he was sure they would be happy together
***************
"where were u? I was searching 4 u in he whole hospital" ridz asked armi as she spotted him
"me? Here only" he said keeping his expression as natural as possible
"ohhk lets hav our lunch im damm hungry" she said while rubbing her hand on her stomach
Seeing the lift was full and they had to wait for another few mins, she looked at him "stairs?"
he nodded in affirmation with a soft smile after seeing her condition
how desperately she wanted to go to the canteen... dying to feed her empty stomach
as they entered the stairs their mind revisited the day when she slipped and landed in his arms...how they were lost in each other and finally how they tried to get out of the embarrassing and shy situation by arguing over heels
she blushed while recollecting the incident at the same time laughed slightly remembering the argument
armi too smiled remembering it and at the same time
wished, hoped and
silently prayed that she falls again, again in his arms
seeing she wasn't falling today or rather not loosing her balance he frowned
he looked again at her n understood she was lost in her own world...own thoughts
a devilish smile came on his face with a devilish plan...within fraction of seconds he tried to make her fall purposely but
he failed...he frowned again seeing his failure
but wasn't destiny n luck resting by his side
and wasn't she too by his side now
as they approached the last set of steps
she looked at him and the next second tripped purposely keeping her expression accordingly
jus perfect, as natural as possible
his thoughts were suddenly broken as he heard a small gasp
within fraction of seconds he grabbed her by her waist, preventing her to fall
but accidentally he lost his balance while trying to prevent her to fall
and they rolled down the steps
together...clutched to each other...her eyes shut tightly sacred becoz of unexpected fall
their unexpected fall came to a haunt as they landed on the ground
her eyes still shut while she was now pinned under him...breathing heavily
she shivered...trembled beneath him...just couldn't gather courage to open and look at him soo close to her
it seemed to her as if she is dreaming
his heart raced seeing her soo close to him...exactly where he saw her in his dreams few nighs before
she looked innocent in the simple pink short kurti and dark blue jeans wearing just a smile on her face and dark mehendi on her hand today
"no make up was needed for her to look exceptional, different from others, elegant, beautiful, gorgeous or in short angel" he thought
with gr8 difficulty he mentally prepared himself to get off her thinking his heavy body would be crushing her delicate body
feeling his breath going far from her face...not kissing her delicate skin now, she recollected herself and opened her eyes slowly
standing back on her legs she blushed and started walking again besides him
while they made their way towards canteen, they looked at each other deeply once...
one deep look was enough for them to reach each other's souls...they could hear each other's souls voice which was yelling "i love u armaan/ridz"
their soul...facial expression...expressive eyes...twinkling smile...glowing face jus confession to each other that
they do love each other...they have finally realized ho madly...truly...deeply love each other
they wished that the world around them could disappear forever, leaving them all alone
....................
PART 18
Not used to knocking at his door she opened the door n walked in saying "armaan aunty is calling u down"
as her voice traveled towards him he got sacred n hung up his on going phone after yelling "i dont need loan u get that straightly"
a look on his face told her something is wrong...fishy
"but what?" she wondered
"im coming down in two mins dumbo" he said after drawing a deep sigh n wrapping a innocent n normal expression on his face
dismissing watever he said, she questioned him in a no non sense tone "wat r u hiding?"
keeping the same innocent look he walked towards her while replying casually "m... me? Hiding something from u? No re not at all"
she marched out of the room angrily without even caring to reply him
she was dead sure in the afternoon and now both time he had lied to her
which was pinching her badly jus couldn't stand when he lies to her or rather tries to lie to her
he cursed himself for not knowing how to lie properly to her...
one thing they both were mostly unsuccessful all these years was lying to each other
***************
after awhile he walked down n scanned the living room... He saw ridz eyes were fixed on her laptop while her expression were telling loud n clearly that she is still angry
sitting right next to her, sapna was watching some movie playing on the television
he went n sat next to sapna, giving a slight smile towards ridz
which she didn't acknowledged...at all
finally getting bored by the silence which was spread all around the drawing room sapna questioned "wat r u doing ridz im getting dam bored??"
she said without looking up "me? Nm im finding some classes...classes which can teach armaan how to lie without getting caught" pausing n finally looking up at armi she continued "dont u dare to say u were not lying firstly in the afternoon and now half an hour back"
"shit man i seriously need to learn to lie, she had caught me in the afternoon too...wat should i do now?" he whispered under his breath
"wat r u hiding bro tell me naa?" this time sapna questioned him with a confused look pasted on her face
without thinking once he said whatever next thing came to his mind "i can't tell anyone...i dont think everything should be told"
both known to be stubborn kept arguing like kids...argued like never...both were determined...ridz was determined to know wat he is hiding and armi determined to hide it at any cost….somewhere both were right, both were right acc 2 their pt of view
all this while sapna was trying to reason with armaan but was failing to make him spell out everything
"being in love is surely difficult" he thought
seeing there is no solution to this endless argument she suggested shooting her eyebrow upward "ok then i challenge u to beat me in car racing...if i win u have to tell me wat ur hiding...if u win which is impossible i will not ask u anything"
"challenge accepted" came a instant reply
thinking for a min she said "k then see u at bandstand (a place where race will end, jus a random name"
seeing him nodding she looked at her laptop n soon shut it down while muttering "u have to tell me everything, by hell or hook"
"o god i cant loose this race or else my little surprise will get screwed up" he muttered under his breath
sapna looked shocked and excited both at the same time...shock becoz armaan was hiding something from ridz it was something which was impossible and excited becoz of the race
she still remembered AR fun races before armi went to states...she n angie would be by armi side and atul-angad would be by ridz side
but motive behind those races was fun but today its not fun
"common guys" sapna said throwing her confusion thoughts - wats the lie about
with full confident AR walked towards the main door
looking out of the window at ridz sapna smiled n wished "all the best"
"i think ur bro needs this more than me soo kindly plz wish him" she replied curtly
"dumbo over confidents is not good" he replied while giggling slightly as her anger rose above sea level
in exchange she just mimicking him
seeing her sweet expressions n the way she mimicking his words armi just couldn't stop himself smiling at her
for once he felt like getting down n disclosing everything to her but he just couldn't do this...he had to win this race by anyhow
what fate had for them only time would tell?
Who will win and who will loss only time will tell?
Becoz Time knows everything about everyone's life
"On your marks...Get set....Go!!" sapna yelled while he signaled her thumps down with a smirk
both the cars roared almost at once with the same spirit while passing a challenging look played in their eyes
both knew they both were an amazing riders...going back to the old races taken place between them, both had sometimes won and sometimes lost
thankfully the road was not jammed....they didn't meet heavy traffic...ten minutes onto the race and both were neck to neck
they were playing with accelerate, break, gear
waving a bye followed by thumps down sign she accelerated further gaining way ahead of him or rather making her car fly in the air, letting the breeze kiss her car
"everything is fair in love and war" was playing in armi's mind...he knew today it was hard to win all becoz she looked as if its impossible to stop her to win this race
but doesn't impossible itself says i-m-possible
he smiled...a devilish smile played on his lips
picking up his mobile he dialed a no "angad"
after two mins talk everything was set...the trap was set...nothing could stop him from winning
he knew how to make her mind off track
sitting right besides him sapna yelled after armi hung up his phone call "bro this is cheating, im calling ridz right away"
"k then im calling mom n informing her about her darling daughter's sweetheart dr amit" he said with a smirk stuck on his face
listening to him sapna turned red with anger, turning her face to look outside she wished ridz doesn't get trapped
"everything is fair in love and war my darling sister" he said looking at ridz car which was marginally ahead of his car
"man she is too good" he whispered, marveling at her fighting spirit
he smiled seeing she took her left turn to use s.v road route instead of juhu road which he preferred
unknown to the trap set she was enjoying the race while listening to the loud music playing in the car and tapping her fingers on the steering wheel
imagining her victory she smiled and giggled...looking around she pushed the accelerate even more hard
armi smiled widely as he reached half way of the desired destination
on another hand ridz had crossed more than half the way but unknown to the fact she had reached the exact place where a trap was waiting for her...only for her
she rolled down the windows further to enjoy the fresh cool air
while her ears witnessed someone calling her name, the voice seemed familiar to her heart where all her dear ones stays
she turned her face instantly to her right to look who was it
for one second forgetting she is in a middle of something important...very important for her right now
as she recognized the person driving his red sports bike parallel to her she screamed with joy "Angad hi" and
unknowingly...unwantedly her speed slowed down
she looked ahead n back to him smiling, glad to see him after few months
"hey howz u? wats up?" he questioned while making sure he is still running his bike parallel to her car, keeping their speed almost same
"im fine and" she left the words hanging there itself as her senses recollected, reminded she was in middle of a race...a race which was as important as oxygen for living
one wrong question "wats up" had made ridz senses awake
widely
"gtg will call u later" she said as fast as she could and drove away
but little did she knew her small mistake...two mins mistake was more than enough for armi to climb the winning stair
she reached the destination n hit her palm angrily on the steering wheel as she saw the sight in front of her
there armi stood leaning on his car with huge or big no too big grin on his face
for one movement she couldn't stop herself from smiling that too straight from her heart seeing how happy he is looking as if he just won an ossar award
"crazy...yes we r crazy... mad but amazing too" she said to herself happily
she lost the race but then too she felt happy...happy becoz she raced today after such a long time
after armi left and all that bad things occurred in her life she didnt race with anyone
she was soo lost, within herself all these months to even think of all this...racing and all
SCREEECHH!!! She smiled slightly while pulling her car to a halt
**************
slowly walking inside her room armi smiled seeing he wasn't there
smiling 2 himself he saw the washroom lights were on…he quickly kept the gift wrapped in a silver wrapper n left the room
he was sure after seeing the gift she will surely forget everything....she is still crazy behind shoes n scandals he knew it well
a warm smile came on her lips when her eyes landed on the gift
she walked towards it n unwrapped it as soon as possible
gifts is one thing which could change her mood...whenever in the whole year and how much ever, gifts r always welcomed by her
"wow its beautiful" she looked with amazement at the black low heels scandals
reading the small note kept next to it "sorry sweetie...i will surely tell u everything just give me few days" she cursed herself while hitting her head slightly for being soo childish and stubborn the night before
she smiled with a twinkle in her eyes saying "i love u more and more for all these small things"
*****************
life is beautiful and as colorful as a rainbow if ur in love...same thing happened with them in the next two days, life was beautiful for them...they were as happy as any kid would be when he gets more than expected toys and chocolate...their life was changed from the night when they confessed to themselves
they were walking on cloud...cloud of happiness, love
love is understanding each other and each other's unsaid words or silent words
"I love u" r three little words which hold a lot of meaning...they r words which are dipped in a bowl of feeling...feeling which one has for another deep inside his/her heart
these beautiful pure words can only be told in form of words?
of course not
it can also be told through eyes, facial expressions, body gesture, smile more importantly with ur behavior
AR confessed their love or rather said those three words in these two days words endless times through each other's a dotting smile, eyes, behavior, facial expressions etc...through everything and anything except in forms of words ie using their silky voice
they believed when ur love of ur life says these golden words through these ways one should be more happier becoz in words anyone can say but in these ways only ur true love can say
these two days were hectic or very hectic compare to normal days but
then too it couldn't force the smile to leave his new house...smile which had made AR lips his new house...it couldn't force the smile to leave their glowing face...face which after hectic workload also didn't fade or looked dull, tired
*************
Sitting down on her chair back she sighed...still she had two hrs work left and then routine rounds before she leaves for her trip...a business trip to dubai
time was running out of her hand and she needed to speed up
her head was hurting and all she wished or needed right now was a hot creamy coffee
she started to read the next file when she heard a knock
without looking up she ordered 'come in'
when a hot steaming coffee landed next to her she looked up
a canteen guy was standing there, she questioned him "Dr armaan has sent this coffee"
she smiled appreciatory
after sometime "chale?" he asked while entering the cabin
"u go armaan i have to go for rounds now, u have to pack ur bags too" she said while picking her lab court to wear it
"ahh...rounds...well i jus did ur side rounds too" he replied with a tiring smile
she smiled affectionately at him while grabbing his arm...she giggled n replied "thanks but on thanks" n soon he joined her, they laughed together
they soon walked out of the hospital chatting, giggling and laughing
****************
Finally they walked out of the airport smiling
The journey was good, she was enjoying looking out of the window...enjoying the beautiful sight
and his head was leaning on her shoulder as he slept peacefully through out the journey
she felt nice seeing him sleeping on her shoulder
the light breeze was blowing...it seemed as if it was welcoming them
soon they stepped out of the car n looked at the beautiful hotel
unknown to the fact once they get inside they would be shocked to learn something
something which they never thought
