Chapter 7

Surprise Surprise!

. . .

Contd. From prev. chap:

Ishita is still shocked. So Bhaalu is Kavin? How can this be possible! Why couldn't she identify her best friend!? why..

Ishita: "sir yeh sach mei aap hai?"

Kavin: "Of course!"

Ishita: "I mean Kavin sir.. aap bachpan mei… aise dekhte the?"

Kavin: "ek hi question ghumraa karke kitni baar poochhoge? Yes its me dear!"

She keeps mum and almost smiles in disbelief when Kavin laughs!

Kavin: "haha Ishita! Tumne meri baat pe yakkin karliya?"

Ishita: (baffled) "main.. main samjhi nahi sir.."

Kavin: "arey sab log jaante hai ki main kitna mazaak karleta hu. OK ab serious hota hu. Ishita.. yeh bolo yeh drawer kiski hai?"

Ishita: "umm.. Dushyant sir ki hai.."

Kavin: "correct yeh files kiske hai?"

Ishita: "Dushyant sir k hi hai.."

Kavin: "tho fir yeh photo…"

Ishita: "Dushyant sir ki…."

Her mouth forms an 'O' and realization dawns on her… So Dusht-Danav-Daku aka Dushyant is her Bhaalu! She should have known..

She gets a flash of walking with him under the umbrella… that familiar touch.. those payal she got from him… and she smiles real big.

This time she wants to confirm that Kavin isn't joking.

Ishita: "sir! Isska matlub yeh iss photo mei jo hai.."

Kavin: "woh Dushyant hi hai! haha mera best friend.. aur yeh dekho isske bagal mei jo baithi hai na woh hai usski bachpan ki dost hai. bestest friend! jisse Dushyant din-raat, subah-shaam, sote-jaagte, khaate-peete, har waqt yaad karta hai.."

(Happy tears fill her eyes. She smiles biting her lip)

Ishita: "yaad karte hai…?"

Kavin: "haan aur shayad pyar bhi karta hai duffer!"

Ishita: *shocked* "P-Pyar karta hai?"

Kavin: "Pata nahi Ishita. Mera dost na, kuch bolta nahi hai. haan aas-paas ki bakwaas batein karta hai. lekin aise dil k maamle khul k share nahi karta. But yeah mujhe lagta hai ki, woh uss dost se pyar karta hai. bas woh ek baar miljaaye Dushyant ko. Taras raha hai mera yaar ussk Billi se milne.."

Ishita: "Billi.."

Ishita smiles.. this is incredible, unbelievable! The best feeling to know that the person you miss; misses you too!

Kavin: "haan woh usey billi kehta tha- oops!" (smacks his head)

Ishita: "kya hua Kavin sir?"

Kavin: "yar meri tho buri aadat hai. koi baat mere dimaag mei fit nahi hota… yu bahar aajata hai. ab Dushyant k saamne kabhi mat bolna ki maine yeh sab tumse bol diya.. warna gussa hojayega mera yar!"

They both hear footsteps.. kavin quickly puts the photo inside & closes the drawer.

Dushyant: "Kya ho raha hai yaha?"

Its Dushyant! And he spots the key in Ishita's hand…

Dushyant: "yeh key tumhare paas.."

(Dushyant goes to snatch it)

Ishita: "…"

Dushyant: "kuch bolo Ishita…"

She just looks at him, her eyes still moist. She just gives him one of her best smiles. Her best friend Bhaalu is now grown up into a dashing cop… her senior! Wow ! Just wow!

Dushyant: "tumhe kaha na maine ki meri cheezon ko haat na lagaao… aur tum- tum ro rahi ho? Hey I dint mean to offend. Main- main sirf pooch raha tha.."

His voice changes to that of concern and she wants nothing but to hug him and cry… shed those happy tears she's holding. But no not here! Not this way! What will she say… how will she explain? No words can describe what she's feeling!

She laughs this time.

Dushyant: "kya hua?"

Ishita: "Kuch nahi sir.. " (wipes her tears)

Dushyant: "kya kuch nahi? Are you crying? Kavin tumne kuch kaha isey?"

Ishita: "nahi sir.."

(Dushu keeps looking at her with keen eyes and she finds herself at loss of words) *hayee maar-daalne-wala look*

Ishita: "Main abhi aayi.."

And she runs off towards entrance.. Dushyant reprimands Kavin

Dushyant: "kya kia tumne uss k saat?" (angry expression)

Kavin: "arey maine kya kia? Kuch nahi.." *mar gaye*

Dushyant: "uske saat flirt tho nahi kar rahe the tum?"

Kavin: "Arey Dushyant? Tu mujhpe shak kar raha hai.."

Dushyant: "haan.."

Kavin: "haan?"

Dushyant: "haan kyu ki mujhe pata hai ki tu har kisi ladki k saat flirt karta hai!"

Kavin: "god plz! Flirt nahi karta. Mazak karta hu.. kabhi kabhi do-chaar sweet baatein- ohh plz aise ghoorna mat Dushyant! Mujhe sach mei nahi pata ki Ishita ko kya hogaya achanak. Maine tho sirf masti ki thi.."

Dushyant: "masti! Main tumse kyu baat kar raha hu… bichari pata nahi kaha gayi… "

Dushyant goes after Ishita while Kavin is baffled.

Kavin: "woh bichari nahi hai! accha fasaa diya! Achanak usey ho kya gaya hai? "

. . . / \ . . .

Outside…

Dushyant doesn't find her anywhere and searches for her in the parking lot.

There in one corner.. Ishita is laughing like mad, swirling around and jumps up and down…

Ishita: "OH MY GOD! Bhaalu! Bhaalu milgaya! Thank you thank you thank you.. thank you so much Babaji I love you mmuuuaaahhhh! Hmmm… yeh kya Dusht-Danav ko Bhaalu banaadiya. Koi baat nahi, actually Dusht-Danav tho main aise hi kehti thi… sir tho… kitne sweet hai! sab ki kithni fikar karte hai.."

She laughs again before doing another happy dance... bhangra!

Dushyant who's a few feet away spots her and is baffled.

Dushyant: "Paagal ladki.. yaha main yu fikar kar raha tha ki isey kya hogaya! Aur yeh yaha bhangra kar rahi hai.."

She dances gracefully. Dushyant wonders if she's Punjaban, typical of Punjabi girls to dance when they are super happy… but she had been crying right?

Ishu twirls and freezes when she sees him…

Dushyant doesn't know what to do.. he takes few steps forward and clears his throat.

Dushyant: "I was wondering ki tum.. tum kaisi hogi.. I mean tum ro rahi thi tho socha…"

She smiles at this. Aww how caring Bhaalu aka Dushyant is!

Ishita: "I'm fine Bh- sir! Thank you"

He nods and begins to walk off…

Dushyant: "yeh naach-gaana hogaya tho upper aajana. Chota sa kaam hai ACP sir ne sab ko bulaaya hai.."

She nods and watches him leave.

Ishita: "ab main unse kya kahungi! Kaise kahungi ki main kaun hu! Kavin sir ne kaha ki Dushyant sir, I mean Bhaalu bhi mujhe bohot yaad karta hai.. bichare bhaalu! Thoda aur tadpaane dete hai. agli baar jab woh mujhe daatenge na, tab main usse bataaungi ki main kaun hu.. YESSS!"

She does another happy jig before dashing upstairs. A long day ends.
