Chapter 15-

Jealous Much?

. . .

Ishu is still asleep inside not knowing that she had just spoken her heart out to her friend.

Outside-

Someone moves past the huge entrance gate. Dushyant who has been keeping watch, leaves silently after making sure this person does no harm to Ishu…

Person- "Oh god darwaza kyu khula hai?"

The person, a girl smiles as soon as she sees Ishu sleeping in sitting pose-

The person, Preet- "Dii.. Dii wake up!"

Ishu wakes up smearing her eyes… she sees the pillow in her lap & jumps at once-

Ishu- "Bhaalu kaha gaya?"

Preet- "Bhalu?"

"haan. Woh abhi tho yahi tha.." *looks around*

"Dii.. fir se sapna dekh liya?"

Ishu- "nhi.. nhi Preet. Iss baar sapna tho, kuch zyada hi sach lag raha tha. Bhalu aaya. Mere gale lag gaya... fir woh behosh hogaya… Maine usse thodi baat kii… "

Preet- "Kyaa… gale lag gaya! Kya dii! Aise kaise ho sakta hai. bhalu ko kiss karna chahiye tha aapko-"

Ishu- "shut up! Pagli... kuch bhi bolti hai. jao idher se! Oh rabjii… Ek aur sapnaa? Yeh sapnon ka silsila, meri raaton ki neend udaa rhi hai. aur ab din mei bhi shuru hogai. Na jaane mujhe kya hogaya!"

Preet begins to hum a song…

Preet- "Na jaane mere dil ko kya hogaya.. abhi tho yahi tha abhii.. khogaya…"

Ishu- "Preet! Fresh hojao. Aur ye gaana band karo. Warna main mum ko complete kardungii.."

Preet- "OK di ab iss ghar mei gaana gaana bhi galat hai- uff"

So preet walks off after turning on the radio.

A song begins to play… surprisingly it's the same song again-

Na jaane mere dil ko kya hogaya…

Na Jaane Mere Dil Ko Kya Ho GayaAbhi To Yahin Tha Abhi Kho GayaNa Jaane Mere Dil Ko Kya Ho GayaAbhi To Yahin Tha Abhi Kho GayaNa Jaane Mere Dil Ko Kya Ho GayaAbhi To Yahin Tha Abhi Kho GayaHo Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyaar SajnaLaakh Karle Tu Inkaar SajnaHo Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyaar SajnaLaakh Karle Tu Inkaar SajnaDildar Sajna Hai Ye Pyaar Sajna

Ishu is standing still thinking about her dreams that had him, her moment with him under the umbrella, those payal he gave her,

Dekha Na Tune Mudke Bhi PeechheKuchh Der To Main Ruka ThaJab Dil Ne Tujhko Rokna ChaahaDoor Tu Ja Chuka ThaHua Kya

Na JaanaYe Dil KyonDeewana

She recollects how she found the photo, her teasing over phone, how they went to watch Ek Villian, how he found her mobileHo Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyaar SajnaLaakh Karle Tu Inkaar SajnaHo Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyaar SajnaLaakh Karle Tu Inkaar SajnaDildar Sajna Hai Ye Pyaar SajnaAy Vakt Rukja Thamja ThaharjaVaapas Zara Daud PeechheMain Chhod Aayi Khud Ko Jahan PeVo Reh Gaya Mod PeechheKahan MainKahan TuYe KaisaHai JaaduAnd how he saved her, the cliff incident, how he gave her water when she ate 'mirchi' at the event-Arre Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyaar SajnaLaakh Karle Tu Inkaar SajnaHo Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyaar SajnaLaakh Karle Tu Inkaar SajnaDildar Sajna Hai Ye Pyaar Sajna

Finally her dream, that kiss… DDLJ wala dream & latest dream when he sleeps with his head in her lap…Na Jaane Mere Dil Ko Kya Ho GayaAbhi To Yahin Tha Abhi Kho GayaKho Gaya .

Her smile widens with each moment she recollects…

Preet- "arey wah Dii.. mujhpe gussa karo aur chup-chup k khush hojao very bad! mujhe nhi bataaoge dil ki baat?"

Ishu stops smiling as she finds Preet staring at her from in front. Preeto, the naughty girl had come down to observe her Dii's reactions to this song, it seemed.

Ishu- "shaitan. Kaisa gaana hai ye? ajeeb sa gaana hai. Mujhe nhi pasand yeh gaana."

She turns off the radio n begins to walk into the kitchen hiding her smile-

Preet- "thik hai ek aur aayega. Pesh hai Preeto ki taraf se, jija ji k liye Dii ka gaana. tujhe dekhaa tho ye jaana sanam…"

Ishu- "Preeto…"

Preet- "Pyar hota hai deewana sanam"

Ishu- "band kar yeh gaana. Main keh rhi hu… radio off kardi tho khud gaari hai?"

Preet- "OK dii.."

Ishu turns around, smiling nd walking into the kitchen..

Preet- "ab yaha se kahaa jaye hum.."

Ishu- "PREETO! tu sach mei maregi… agar dobara ye gaaya tho.."

Preet- "teri bahon mei marjaye hummm.."

Ishu's anger soon turns into a wide smile as she sees her sister running upstairs mumbling a 'sorry'.

. . .

Outside-

K & D are walking on road-

Kavin- "Bol na.. kya baat hui.. I love you bol diya kya?"

Dushyant- "kya yar.."

Kavin- "I know tu nhi bolega. Tujhse nhi hoga wo sab. At least ye bolo kya baat hui…"

Dushyant- "kuch nhi…"

Kavin- "kya?"

Dushyant- "ummm.. woh.."

Kavin- "kuch nhi kaha tumne uss se?"

Dushyant- "umm.. maine koshish ki. Par ussey laga woh sapna hai.."

Kavin- "or tune bataaya nhi.."

Dushyant- "kya bolta yar? Ussko aur khud ko embarrass nhi kar sakta na.."

Kavin- "fir?"

Dushyant- "fir woh sogayi…"

Kavin- "KYA?" *annoyed look*

Kavin- "Ugh! Woh so gayi? Tu… Dushyant tu usey baat karne gaya tha ki lohri gaake sunaane, jo wo so gayi…"

Dushyant- "yar main-"

Kavin- "arey usey jagaaya hota! Aur jo bhi kehna-puuchna tha, kehdiya hota, puchliya hota. but tu hai ki.."

Dushyant- "yar meri baat tho sun-"

Kavin- "kitna accha plan banaaya maine. tujhe Billi se milaaya, jab usske ghar mei koi nhi tha!"

Dushyant- "yar plz.."

Kavin- "fail fail. . pehli baar mera plan fail hogaya. Waise tujh jaisa duffer hai wahaa tho aur kya ho sakta tha?"

Dushyant- "K, yar.. tera plan hit hai. dekhna I'm sure wo kuch soch rahi hai. I'll wait till she speaks up-"

Kavin- "jaa yar.."

Dushyant- "rey duffer intezar ka phal meetha hota hai rey…" *smiles*

Kavin- "phal agar zyada over sweet hogaya na, khaane layak v nhi hota.. main jaaraha hu.." *angry look*

Dushyant- "arey ruk.." *puppy eyes*

Kavin- "jaa yar.. I wont talk to you… chaupat kardiya plan- khelte raho lukka-chupi tum log. Mujhe kya-"

Dushyant- "K plz…"

And so Dushyant jogs after an annoyed Kavin to pacify him.

. . / \ . . .

Nxt day morning-

Purvi & Shreya begin a mission. Mission unearth secret-admirer.

Purvi sniffs, Its been ages since she received that boquet! How dare he ignore her like that? What kind of admirer he is?

One of lady officers is threatening to kill bichara security personnel outside the gate-

Shreya- "Boliye na… kisne bheje wo roses?"

Purvi- "boliye plz.."

Security- "Madam.. plz mujhe nhi pata. Woh yaha gate pe rakhe the tho.. bas leke dediya.." the old man says.

Shreya- "nhi nhi… jhoot nhi bol sakte aap Chaman Laal ji.."

Shreya- "agar aapne jhoot bola tho, aapki naukri gayi.. aur bohot kuch ho sakta hai.."

Purvi- "Shreya plz no harsh words… dekhiye Chacha ji. Aap ko hum saalon se jaante hai. tho issee waste, plz. Agar aapko pata hai jisne v ye boquet bheja, ussk bare mei, tho plz batayiye.."

security- "unhone manaa kiya tha naam lene se. bade saab ne wada bhi liya.."

Purvi's face gleams but falls suddenly.

Purvi- "bade saab? Yani wo senior hai? waada bhi liya? tik hai fir tho… meri kismet mei nhi ki main unse miluuu…" *sad face*

security- "par isska matlub yeh nhi ki main madad nhi kar sakta.."

Purvi- "kya.."

security- "dil ka maamla lagta hai madam ji hai na?"

Purvi- "uh ummm.."

security- "haha arey hum bhi dilwaale hai… tho iss dulhaniya ko apne dil wale se milaa denge.."

Purvi- "kaise kaise chacha ji?"

security- "arey beta. Aapko main nhi bataa sakta ki woh kon hai. lekin ye zarur bataunga ki sham ko wo aapko kahaa milenge…"

The old man writes an address & hands the slip to Purvi who is all smiles.

Ab mission find secret-admirer success hokar rahega!

. . .

A while later, bureau-

Dushyant & kavin arrive together.

Kavin- "so agli baar you wont miss a chance!"

Dushyant- "yup!"

Kavin- "Promise?"

Dushyant- "arey baba promise!"

Kavin- "chalo…"

Dushyant- "haa chal!"

Obviously Kavin can't be pissed off with his bestie for long. They walk inside…

Purvi & Shreya are nowhere seen they are in cafeteria. No one is present except for two persons there. The scene in front however seemed disturbing, well to one of them it is-

Mayur- "Ishu you are amazing yar, thank you…"

Ishu- "My pleasure Mayu."

Mayur- "tho its done then. Aaj sham ko pehle gift, baad mei coffee.."

Ishu- "sure Mayu.."

Mayur- "after 5'Oclock.."

Ishu- "kab 5 bajega.. you knw how much I love shopping…"

Both the friends share a laugh…

Dushyant walks to his desk giving a glare to both of them. Kavin just smiles noticing all this... hmm third angle, interesting! Ab kahaani mei mazaa ayega…

Kavin quietly sits in his desk. Ab mujhe zyada efforts daalne ki zarurat nhi… haha…

Mayur- "good morning sir.." *smiles*

Ishu- "Hello sir.." *smiles*

Kavin- "Good morning guys-" *smiles*

Dushyant- "good morning.." *stern look*

Mayur- "aap kab aaye.."

Kavin- "hmm bas abhi.."

Dushyant- "waise baton mei itni busy rahoge tho seniors kahaa dikhaayi denge tumhe Mayur-" *glares*

Mayur- "sorry sir… wo hum aise hi gappe maar rahe the-"

Just then ACP sir & duo arrive. All officers greet them. They go into ACP sir's cabin & Mayur is saved from certain someone's anger :P

Freddy too comes. Dushyant is sitting still slightly annoyed at what he saw-

Freddy- "good morning yaroo"

Kavin- "Gd mrng sir!"

Freddy- "breakfast kia kya tum logo ne?"

Kavin- "haa sir. Aur aap.."

Freddy- "khaaya na.. wife k haat ka toast.."

Kavin- "uh- waise sir.. toast tho yaha bhi bangaya.." *teasing*

Freddy- "kya keh rahe ho? Kahaa?"

Kavin- "kahaa nhi sir… puchiye kiska…" *wicked smile*

Freddy- "accha? Tik hai. kiskaa?"

Kavin- "kya sir, kitne bhole hai. aap jalne ki boo nhi aarahi aapko-"

Dushyant gives his best glare to Kavin. Places the file he's reading with a loud bang on his desk & walks out-

Freddy- "issey kya hogaya…"

Kavin- "kaha na sir. Lagta hai kuch zyada hi jal gaya toast…"

Kavin smiles n signals Freddy to look at Ishu & Mayur who have now resumed their chatting at the far end-

Freddy- "Ohh accha accha isliye. ab main samjha kyu jal gaya toast "

Both laugh at what they spoke. Soon there's a case. Dushyant joins them & the matter is laid to rest.

. . / \ . . .

That evening, 5PM, bureau-

Clock strikes five. Ishu has already reached parking lot waiting for her friend. Mayur is about to leave. So he handles a file to Dushyant so that he can call off the day-

Dushyant- "yeh file complete hua?"

Mayur- "yes sir…"

Dushyant checks the file with a stern face and-

Dushyant- "par ye tho adhura hai…"

Mayur- "nhi sir. Pura complete kardiya maine!"

Dushyant- "are you sure? Kuch choot tho nhi gaya?"

Mayur becomes nervous. Baapre! Sir bohot gusse mei lagte hai. humesha aise nhi rehte… aaj kya hogaya?

Dushyant- "Mayur.. kya soch rahe ho?"

Mayur- "n-nhi sir.. kuch nhi."

Dushyant- "hmm thik hai. woh Red corner wali file hogayi? Woh bhi leke aana-"

Mayur- "par… sir.. woh tho.. barso… tak finish hojayega.. aapne kahaa.. ki aaraam se karo… tho.."

Dushyant- "oh tho aaram kar rahe the tum huh?"

Mayur- "n- nahii nahii sir…"

Dushyant- "whatever! Mujhe wo file chahiye… now!"

Mayur- "ab tho. Duty khatm hone wala hai…"

Dushyant- "tho over-time karo. badi jaldi tumhe ghar jaane ki…"

Mayur- "sir woh… main…"

Dushyant- "get back to work Mayur.."

Mayur- "par sir…"

Dushyant- "do it now…"

Mayur sighs & complies.

Mayur- "ji sir…"

. . .

Ishu comes to bureau looking for Mayur…

She's scanning every desk looking for her friend when someone clears his throat-

She turns around.

Dushyant- "Yes…"

Ishu- "umm… sir. Woh Mayu se milnaa hai. woh yaha hai kya? Mayuu… Mayuu…"

Dushyant- "Usska naam.. MAYUR hai…' *angry look*

Ishu- "haan wohi sir- Mayu… I mean Mayu-r se milna hai.."

Dushyant- "woh kaam mei bsy hai…"

Ishu- "kya? Par ab tho sade paanch baj gaye aur-"

Dushyant- "tumhe koi kaam hai yaha? Nhi na?"

Ishu- "woh bas ek baar Mayu se baat kar k-"

Dushyant- "usey kisi disturbance ki zarurat nhi hai yaha. tum jaa sakti ho-"

Ishu- "par sir…"

Dushyant- "kahaa na, ki you can leave."

Ishu pouts a little n leaves with a crestfallen face.

Ishu- "dusht-danav-daku bangaya fir se! itne din thik-thak tha; kabhi-kabhi achanak kyu aisa banjaata hai. bichara Mayuuu…"

So soon she reaches parking lot making plans... thinking of ways to meet Mayur.

5:32 PM-

She peeps into the bureau. Mayur is writing something indulged in a file. There's no one around. She tiptoes along happily smiling-

Ishu- "hehe thank god! Bhalu yaha nhi hai. coffee peene gaya hoga… coffee-holic"

She's tiptoeing bending a little not looking at where she's going nd… *bump*

she looks up slowly.. khakhi jeans… black shirt.. killer look leke haasir hai Bhalu…

Dushyant- "Yes…"

Ishu- "aap? muje… lagaa… aap… bahar gaye… aur" *looks away*

Dushyant- "main sun raha hu…" *stern look*

Ishu- "sir plz kya main Mayu se.. do minute baat kar sakti hu?"

Dushyant- "…" *sighs shaking his head*

Ishu- "Plz… mere sawal ka jawab dijiye main chali jaungi. I wont disturb-"

Dushyant- "No!"

Ishu- "Kyaa"

Dushyant- "sunaa nhi maine kya kahaa? I said no."

Ishu- *sad face*

Dushyant- "ab jaao. Agar tumhe koi kaam nhi, tho yaha ek file hai. tum bhi kaam pe lag jaao. Kaam shuru karogi?"

Ishu- "Kya… nhiii! No thanks!"

Mayur looks at Ishu with a sad face and leaves somewhere-

Kavin too watches with a smile as Ishu pouts & leaves. He comes to Dushyant-

Kavin- "bichare Mayu pe gussa kyu kar rahe ho dude? Jaane do na usey-"

Dushyant- "Kavin uss Mayur ne-"

Kavin- "file sahii mei complete kardiya. Aur tum jaanbuch k usey tang kar raha hai. kyu ki tu nhi chahta ki Billi usske saat coffee piye. Jealous huh?"

Dushyant- "Jealous? Me? Huh. What a joke!" *laughs*

Kavin- "Joke? Really? Accha wo red-corner file abhi kyu chahiye tumhe? usska deadline tho barso hai-"

Dushyant- "agar kaam waqt se pehle hojaye tho iss mei bura kya hai…"

Kavin- "bahaana acche banaalete ho yar!" *smirk*

Dushyant- "maine.. koi bahaana nhi banaaya!"

Kavin- "don't bluff I knw tumhare dimaag mei kya hai… aaj tho tune Mayur ko rok liya boss! Kal kya karoge? saccha pyar ko koi nhi rok sakta. Koi nhi… woh tho hokar hi rahega.."

Kavin gives him a look n leaves. Dushyant frowns…

Dushyant- "what the-" *throws the file in anger*

Dushyant- "Kavin ko kyu lagta hai ki main jealous hu! Woh v uss Mayu se- god! Main v Mayu kehne lagaa. Ussko dekh k kyu jealous feel karunga main? Haan main nhi chahta tha ki.. Ishita ussk saat coffee piye. Kyu ki.. wo meri.. friend hai. meri friend hai.. tho pehle mere saat coffee piyegi na.. Kavin bhi naa pagal hai. or mujhe v pagal kardega.."

He shakes his head & goes to read another file. Kavin who has been observing this from a far end, smiles-

Kavin- "kisi ne sahii kahaa. pyar v badi ajeeb cheez hai. jise pyar nhi mila, woh usey talaashta rehta hai. aur jisey mila, woh usey dekh v nhi paata…"

Mayur comes with a file…

Mayur- "sir…"

Kavin- "haan Mayur…"

Mayur- "sir yeh list almost hogaya… yeh file mei koi mistakes nhi hai"

Kavin- "hmm"

Mayur- "sir Pata nhi Dushyant sir ko kyu mera kaam accha nhi lag rahaa…"

Kavin- "haha usey tho accha bilkul nhi lagega."

Mayur- "kya? Main samjha nhi sir.."

Kavin- "Just joking! tum jao Mayur.. I will handle this red-corner file…"

Mayur- "Par sir ne kaha.."

Kavin- "its OK… main samjhadunga usey…"

Dushyant- "koi zarurat nhi samjhaane ki. Tum jao Mayur.. bahar koi tumhara wait kar raha hai.. waise bhi sab itne acche hai. tho main kyu buraa banuu?"

Dushyant says this in a serious tone & walks away grabbing his bike keys nd giving a glance to Kavin.

. . . / \ . .

5:30 PM, somewhere in city-

A girl walks into a nursery admiring the surroundings. The smell of crisp grass, rain kissed ground, the colourful flowers that blossomed to the fullest everything looked beautiful-

She smiles as she finds a kid playing in front of a large green house in there.

She walks closer-

Girl- "chacha ji hai?"

The boy looks baffled but signals that he's in green house.

So the girl walks in… In there is total darkness, because of power shut down may be. A guy is working at far end of the green house, under the illumination of a small candle. What's he doing? Handling some saplings may be-

Girl- "sir.."

Her voice makes him jump. How did she end up here?

Girl- "ghabrao mat… main yaha aapko pareshan karne nhi aayi.. bas aise hi milne aayi thi.."

The guy is rigid… the girl walks closer and can see faint silhouette of him-

Girl- "umm… I think aapne mujhe pehchaana hoga.. Its me Purvi…"

Girl- "I know sir.. ki aap mere senior hai CID mei, jinohne ye secret-admirer ka roop liya sirf mujhe khush karne k liye…"

There's silence.

Purvi- "main ye kehne aayi thi ki…"

More silence frm him…

Purvi- "thank you. Mujhe khush karne k liye. Mujhe kareeb se pehchanne k liye. Mereliye perfect gifts laane k liye. Meri smile ki waja banne k liye…"

The guy is tensed… as he waits with bated breath for her to continue…

Purvi- "bas ab ye khel band kardijiye… agar aapko saamne nhi aana hai tho iss, iss sab ko band kardijiye. Koi zarurat nhi mujhe secret admirer ki… kyu ki… its hard to let go. I knw ye sab aap sirf ek dost ki tarah kar rahe hai. par mera dil bhi na, thora paagal hai, abhi se aapko khone se dar lagne lagaa hai tho.. agey jake muje darr hai…"

He gets emotional; he doesn't know he was capable of feeling what he feels now-

Purvi- "ki kahii, Pyar na hojaye…"

A soft chuckle escapes his lips. She continues-

Purvi- "agar aisa kuch hua tho main aapko kho v nhi sakti aur paa v nhi sakti…"

The silence thickens like fog. But she continues not knowing that her admirer is now in the midst of a storm, a storm of feelings, love, confusion, anxiety, tension…

Purvi- "tho kya kehte ho?"

Her voice thickens… what kind of a guy he is? Here she is pouring out her heart to him, keeping aside the shyness that every girl inherited & he's mum? Why did he have to admire her if all he wanted was this!

Purvi- "Saamne aane ka iraada hai tho mujhe bataana. Aapk jawab intezar rahega mujhe-"

He doesn't know what to say! Sure he can come out of the dark, but what will be her reaction? He's scared… well yes; the stoic officer Rajat Kumar is scared to face her!

Purvi- "Main kal aati hu…"

She leaves trying not to burst into tears… and he watches her leave, sadness engulfing him.

He knew he hurt her by ignoring her… that his silence has hurt her even more.

Rajat- "jab maine ye shuru kia tha. Tho maine nhi socha ki aisa kuch hojayega… I'm sorry Purvi. Sorry ki maine kuch bola nhi… jab ki main bohot kuch bolna chahta hu." *teary*

Rajat- "tumhe tho sirf darr hai… par mujhe pura yakkin hai ki main tumse pyar karta hu. Bas rab se dua hai ki himmat jutaa duu iss sach ko tumhare saamne qubool karne ki…"

He looks down as someone hugs him.

Rajat- "Ajii.. hogaya watering plants?"

Ajit- "haa chachu…"

Rajat- "boht badhiya. Chalo… ghar chalte hai.."

Ajit- "aap sad ho?"

Rajat- "nhi Ajii…"

Ajit- "wo sad hai…"

Rajat- "Kon?"

Ajit- "wo didi.. jo aayi hai. aapne unhe sad kiya? very bad chachu.."

Rajat- "sorry beta… kya karta main!" *sigh*

Ajit- "kuch v karo… unhe khush karo na aap… khush karo na.. promise karo naa…" *puppy face*

Rajat- "promise beta… didi ko khush karne ki jald hi koshish karunga main…"

Ajit, the little boy smiles & together they move out of the nursery that they own after carefully locking the doors.

. . . / \ . . .

5:45 PM, Parking lot, Bureau…

Ishu is happy to see Mayu and both leave the bureau taking leave from their seniors…

Dushyant's bike doesn't start.

Dushyant- "ye bike ko v abhi naraaz hona tha?"

Kavin- "may I help you?"

Dushyant- "No thanks…"

Kavin- "itna chidaa hua kyu hai?"

Dushyant- "nhi tho. I'm fine. Perfect!" *fake smile*

Kavin- "bas bas! Uff itna gussa. I knw sab mere uuper hai… kya karuu yar tujhe tease karna mujhe bohot pasand hai…"

Dushyant- *glare*

Kavin- "dekho main kaan pakad k khada hu.. I'm sorry… ab tho smile karo mere bhai!"

Dushyant observes Kavin for a few seconds, kavin's pout, that apologetic look, his holding ears…

Dushyant- "hahaha… ye kiddo look tumhe suit nhi karta. bas karo yar!"

Kavin- "ufff thank god maangaye!"

Dushyant- "tujhse naraz reh sakta hu kya main?"

Kavin- "I know… main hu itne adorable! Chal mere bike pe chalte hai…"

So both of them are set off on bike. Kavin is driving, Dushu is sitting behind… both share a laugh n chat as they enjoy the ride.

. . .

They reach a nearby bus stop & find Ishu standing der-

Kavin- "arey Ishitaa tum yaha…"

Ishu- "hello sir.. aap log-"

Kavin- "bas ghar jaa rahe the!"

Ishu- "Oh main bhi. bas barish hone se pehle ghar chali jau tho accha rahega.."

Ishyant fall silent so Kavin initiates the talk-

Kavin- "ghar? Mayur k saat woh coffee date ka kya hua?"

Ishu- "date? Mayuu k saat?" *laughs*

A smile forms on someone's lips as he hears this.

Ishu- "sir wo sirf mera dost hai. kal usski mum ka birthday hai tho, woh chahta tha ki main unkeliye gift pick karu, tho bas… hum mall jaane wale the. Aur coffee isliye kyu ki coffee liye bina main shopping nhi kar sakti.."

Dushyant smiles a bit, she's much like him coffee-holic!

Kavin- "Ohh fir gaye kyu nhi?"

Ishu- "wo Mayu.. I mean Mayur ko koi call aaya tha ghar se. tho woh chala gaya…"

Kavin- "chalo accha hai.. kisi ko khush kardia ussne."

Ishu- "kissko sir… kya bol rahe hai aap-"

Kavin- "kuch nhi. Aajao main drop karta hu. Waise barish hone wali hai. jaldi jaana hoga hai na?"

Ishu- "wo tho hai.. but main aapke saat kaise sir…"

Kavin asks Dushyant to adjust so that Ishu can sit behind him :P

Ishu- "sir triples? Kaise sir? Traffic police pakad lega aapko…" *laughs*

Kavin- "arey koi baat nhi paas mei hi hai Dushyant ka ghar-"

Ishu- "nhi sir… rehne dijiye.. main kaise... aap log comfortably jayiye. main auto se chali jaugi.."Suddenly Dushyant gets down..

Dushyant- "ek kaam karo. Tum Kavin k saat chali jaao.. main auto mei chala jauga.."

Ishu- "sir.. nhi sir! Aap auto mei kaise? Mujhe tho aadat hai auto mei ghoomne ki- aap jayiye!"

Dushyant- "dekho suno. Barish shuru hui tho koi auto nhi milegi. Issliye tum chali jaao."

Ishu- "nhi aap jayiye bike pe. aap din bhar kaam karte rehte hai. night duty bhi karte hai. thak jaate honge. Aap jayiye. Main auto mei chali jaugii…"

Dushyant- "arey nhi.. tum jao. Jaldi pohoch jaogi.."

Ishu- "nhi sir aap jaao…"

Dushyant- "nhi nhi tum…"

Kavin thinks- "O god! Kitnii fikr karte ye dono ek dusre ki… senti kardiya inhone mujhe! Chal beta kavin ab tho tujhe hi sacrifice karna hoga… banjaa cupid fir se! chaahe glare v karle Dushyant tujhe! Milaa do inn love-birds ko-"

Kavin- "ruko ruko.. mere paas tum dono k problem ka solution hai…"

Dushyant- "Kya?"

Kavin- "simple. main auto se chala jaunga.. tum dono bike se jao.."

Ishu- "uh…"

Dushyant- "kavin.. nhi yar.. tujhe chodke. aise kaise-"

Kavin- "main kuch nhi sununga… jaldi jao barish hone se pehle ghar pohoch jao…"

Dushyant- "but.."

Kavin- "no buts-"

Kavin forces Ishyant, so reluctantly they agree… Dushyant gets on to the bike, Ishu too sits behind him. Dushyant takes a deep breath.

OK he's agreed to this just for his friend! That's it. Nothing else-

Kavin- "ye le keys. Ishita ko drop karke.. seedha mere yaha aajaana thik h…"

Dushyant- "thik hai yar.. tum apna dhyan rakhna.."

Ishu- "byee sir.."

Kavin- "bye bye…"

So Dushyant turns on the ignition.

Kavin- "arey yar.. bhul gaya main. Bike ko na starting problem hai."

Dushyant- "wo kab se-"

Kavin- "tho full raise karna hoga…"

Dushyant- "hmm OK.."

*D raises accelerator fully*

Dushyant- "Ohh-"

Ishu- "Oh rab jiii.."

The bike zooms forward. Very next moment Dushyant applies break Ishita ends up hugging Dushyant from behind. Both take a deep breath; the bike stops, ahh that was close!

He slowly looks up at kavin who's laughing now-

Kavin- "kya yar! maine mazak kiya. Aur tumne sach mei raise karliya?"

Dushyant- *glares*

Kavin- "dhyan rakho khud ka aur Ishita ka bhi…" *winks*
