PART 8:

Armaan comes up following Muskaan. He sees she is just about to enter her room.

Armaan : excuse me.....

Muskaan turns to him.

Armaan : umm.....Muskaan....i....i...am.......sorry.......

Muskaan is surprised.

Armaan (very innocently) : me to bas.....mazak kar raha tha.....

Muskaan smiles at him...... : its ok....actually meri hi galati thi.....mujhe aisa nahi kehna chahiye tha....but.... i was so scared ki shaam ho rahi hai....aur Naaz ko yaha ka address bhi thik se pata nahi tha.....

Armaan : oh.... to phir thik hai....so..... friends?

Muskaan looks up at him.

He extends his hand....... : Armaan...(smiles)

Muskaan is still staring at him....thinking....

Armaan : aap to aise dekh aur soch rahi hai......jaise pata nahi me kitna bura hu....ok baba me abse aapko kabhi nahi sataunga......(smiles cutely)

Muskaan smiles back at him......and takes his hand..... : bure to...nahi hai......par agar aap aise hi satate rahe..... to dar to lagega na....

Armaan laughs ........: nahi nahi ab aise nahi sataunga.... koi naya rasta dekhta hu.....anyways ab aap rest kijiye....even i am getting late for office....we will meet at dinner....

Muskaan : ok....

Armaan : bye… and take care…….

Muskaan : bye....

Armaan leaves from there as Muskaan watches him....with a smile on her face....

She turns to enter her room when she sees Naazneen standing at the door smiling at her. She was watching their entire scene.

Naazneen : ab Armaan bhai ko mafi mil gayi to mujhe bhi mil jaegi na.....

Muskaan doesnt say anything...... just walks inside the room.

Naazneen follows her : Muski.....sorry.....

Muskaan : chup kar tu.... jab sab pata tha to bol nahi sakti thi.....what he must be thinking of me.....how bad..... ( she folds her hands and stands there showing anger on her face..)

Naazneen comes up and hugs her sideways.....: sorry na Muski..... bas sata rahi thi thoda......aur wo Armaan bhai hai.....wo kuch nahi sochenge... hes very sweet...

Muskaan doesnt respond.

Naazneen : Muski sorry na.....(she hugs her very tightly) ....... sorry sorry sorry.....( shes tightening her grip) .......sorry sorry sorry......

Muskaan : Naaz kya kar rahi hai.....Naaz leave me..... ( finally breaks down in a smile) ok baba its ok....ab chod....

Naazneen lets her go.... : thank you......waise thik kaha tha Armaan bhai ne......(lies down on the bed) .....agar tab Zaheer bhai hote waha....to aapki to band bajti....(laughs)

Muskaan : thank God he wasnt there...... waise wo hai kaha.?

Naazneen : muma ne kaha tha Delhi gaye hai....kuch business ke liye hi.... ek do din me ajaenge.....

Down in the kitchen........ Saba and Farhat were preparing dinner.....

Farhat : Saba.... zara ye halwa chakh to.....sab thik hai.?

Saba tastes it.... : bohot acha hai.....ye gajar ka halwa to Naazneen aur Armaan dono ko pasand hai na....

Farhat : hmm ... aur Muskaan ko bhi......choti thi to mujhse hamesha kehti thi banane ke liye.... ab to.....pata nahi use.....( she gets into deep thinking)

Saba : kya sochne lag gayi.....

Farhat : ..... Muskaan ke bare me..... aaj itne arse baad use dekha..... 10 saal ki thi jab Feroz bhaijaan London shift ho gaye.... kabhi kabhi aate the milne.....par fir Ayesha bhabhi ki khabar agayi.... uske baad to.....(her eyes get num)..... bohot ache the wo....mere liye to badi behen jaise hi....

Saba keeps a hand on her shoulder.

Farhat : itni si umar me bohot saha hai Muskaan ne..... sabse dur rehkar sab kuch akeli hi sehti rahi.....

Farhat : ab to bas yahi chahti hu ki..... Muskaan hamesha ke liye yahi reh jaye......

Saba : chahte to hum sab yahi hai.... bas dono bache ha karde..... tune Zaheer se baat ki?

Farhat : nahi abhi nahi.... socha pehle dono ek baar mil to le..... itne saalo me sirf phone par hi baat karte rahe....wo bhi sirf business ke liye....

Saba : ye bhi thik hai.... tu kahe to hum Armaan se pehle baat karle.... wo kuch madad kar sake...

Farhat : are nahi.... use bata diya to Zaheer tak baat pohoch ne me kitna waqt lagega.....

Saba : ha ye bhi hai....chalo fir pehle Zaheer ajaye... fir dekhte hai.....

Farhat : ha....yahi thik rahega....Muskaan bhi yaha sabke saath ghul  mil jaye...

They both give each other a reassuring smile convinced of their decision and get back to preparing dinner.

Part ends.
