Part 40

Rehearsals: Day 2

The team was busy teaching doctors the routine. Taani and Shivam were with the managers of the event and were helping as well as learning from them.

Rey: Ab ladki jump degi and the guy will pick her up like this.

He demonstrated with Niki and asked them to try. The doctors tried the lift. Armaan was finding it difficult as Riddhima wasn't giving the right jump.

Armaan: Basket yaar jump, mein nahi giraunga tumhe.

Riddhima: Mujhse nahi hoga yeh.

Rey: It's easy, just try it once. Have faith in your partner. Trust him, he won't let you fall.

Riddhima tried it this time and it was a perfect lift.

Armaan: Tumhe kaafi knowledge lagti hai about partnership.

Rey: Yeah, I've been dancing from a longtime now.

Armaan: Mera matlab relationship tha.

All expressions vanished from his face and he gave a blank look.

Rey: Let's continue.

Armaan: You alright?

Rey: Hmmn.. Swayam tu aage continue kar, I'll be back.

Rey left the room closing the door little louder than expected.

Armaan: Did I? Meine kuch galath kaha?

Swayam: Nahi.. vo bas.. he's going through a rough phase.

Rehearsals: Day 3

Swayam: Aaj sirf aap? Ladkiyan kahan hai?

Rahul: Emergency aa gayi thi.

Abhimanyu: Isiliye hum teen hi hai. But tum hume sikha do. We'll manage without them for today.

Armaan: Yeah and if you guys are fine, you girls can become our partners. Waise jaldi bhi seekh payenge hum.

Sharon: Not a bad idea.

Swayam: No!

The D3 boys started giggling seeing Swayam's face.

Rey: Swayam, I completely agree with Armaan.

Armaan: Thanks.

Swayam gave a deadly glare to Rey, but burst out laughing when he heard the next words of Armaan and Rey's change of expression.

Armaan: Taani, will you be my dance partner?

Rey: No!

Taani looked at Rey smiling a bit. She could see that his control over himself is loosening. But before the smile turned to a wide grin, his words wiped it away from her face.

Rey: Voh non-dancer hai!

Armaan: But mujhe toh Taani ke saath hi dance karna hai.

Taani: Rey aapka matlab kya hai?

Rey: Taani tum management sambhalo aur hume dance sambhalne do

Armaan: Hey that's rude.

Rey: Why do you care?

Swayam: Rey.

Swayam warned Rey about his rude tone and continued.

Swayam: Armaan, I feel ki agar koi dancer aapki partner hogi toh, you know..

Taani: It's ok bhai.

Armaan: Hey don't listen to them. Tum mere saath hi dance karogi.

Swayam: Taani I didn't mean that. Mein bas..

Taani: Bhai I understand.

She said looking at Rey and understanding that Swayam just meant to stop the baseless argument between Rey and Armaan.

Armaan: Taani?

Armaan gave a pleading look to Taani. Now who could resist that face?

Taani: Okay, I'll become your partner.

Rey (to himself): Iski toh mein!

Swayam: Rey, let's start?

Armaan-Taani, Rahul-Niki and Abhimanyu-Sharon paired up and continued the practice.

Rehearsals: Day 4

After the dance session was done, everyone was chilling out, tired for the day.

Sharon: Aaj toh mein bohot thak gayi!

Rey: Seriously yaar. Aaj college mein bhi bohot kaam tha.

Swayam: Arre haan, VP sir ne tujhe kyu bulaya tha?

Rey: He wants a motivation speech for the next batch from us.

Swayam: He wants us to do what?

Rey: You heard me right. Meine bol diya hai ki we'll see what we can do about it.

Riddhima: What's wrong in giving a speech?

Rey: He wants the next batch to look upto us.

Sharon: And if at all they did.

Nil: They wont be lucky enough to survive rustication!

Swayam: Basically, humne bohot "kaand" kiye hai, so we being the role models?

D3 Gang: NAH!

Armaan: But you can share your experiances. Give it a thought. Taani?

Taani: Haan?

Armaan: Apna number dogi?

Rahul (to Armaan): Dude Riddhima ke saamne number maang raha hai. Marna hai kya?

Taani: Number? Kyun?

Armaan: Since you are managing them (pointing the dancers) and I'm looking after the preparations of the concert. Agar kuch changes ya kuch bhi inform karna ho, toh it'll be easy to contact.

Taani and Armaan exchange numbers while a person's death glare is fixed on them.

Rehearsals: Day 5

Rey and Taani were called in VP sir's cabin. The rest of the gang left for the hospital. VP sir enquired about the speech and asked them to work on it. Currently they are sitting in canteen.

Taani: Speech ka kya karna hai?

Rey: I'm still against it. I mean hum kaise kisi ko motivate kare to follow correct path.

Taani: But hum experiences share kar sakte hai, so they don't make same mistakes. Armaan ka idea atcha tha.

Rey: Seriously? Who would be interested in it?

Rey hated that idea, not for it being bad but because it was given by Armaan.

Taani: Everyone! Uss din Armaan pooch rahe the about the team and all. People will be interested.

Rey: Kya Armaan Armaan laga rakha hai? Meri baat mano uss se durr raho, he doesn't seem like a nice person.

Taani: Yeh aap kaise keh sakte hai? Aap toh unse seedhe muh baat bhi nahi karte.

Rey: Uski girlfriend jab nahi hoti tabhi sabke saath flirt karta hai. Who does that?

Taani: Meine kabhi unhe flirt karte nahi dekha.

Rey: Wow!

Taani: What?

Rey: Kuch nahi.

Taani: Nahi batayiye.

Rey: Tum uski itni tarafdari kar rahi ho, uska charm chala diya hai usne tum par.

Taani: Aapko kyun farak pad raha hai?

Rey: Mujhe kyun farak padega?

Taani: Toh aap mujhe kis haq se keh rahe hai ki mein Armaan se distance maintain rakhu?

Rey: Tum yeh kya bol rahi ho?

Taani: Rey we were in a relationship and it's a fact that I still love you. Aur app bhi mujhse..

Rey: Mein tumse pyaar nahi karta!

Taani: Toh aapko kyun farak padta hai kimein Armaan se baat karu ya kisi aur se?

Rey: Because he's playing around with two girls. Meine tumhe batane ka kaam kiya, aage tumhari marzi.

Taani's phone rang flashing Armaan's name. Rey gave her a look and cancelled the call.

Taani: Rey, what the hell!

Rey: Stay away from him!

Taani (thinking): Aur kitni saza doge aap mujhe?

Rehearsals: Day 6

Rey was walking in the corridor when he saw Taani and Armaan walk out of the canteen hand in hand. He was frustrated to see them together even when he had warned her.

Rey (to himself): Kal bol rahi thi that she loves me aur aaj uss Armaan ke saath. Rey cool down and concentrate, uss Armaan ko baadme dekh lena.

His thoughts were broken by Taani's loud shriek. He saw Taani limping as she had twisted her leg. He ran forward to help her. But before he could reach her, she was picked up by Armaan and taken inside his cabin. Armaan had closed the door behind him. Rey didn't enter in but he could see them through the blinders.

Taani: Aah!

Armaan: Relax, sirf twist hua hai. Nothing serious.

Taani: Bohot dukh raha hai. Aaahhh!

Armaan: Shooo. Quiet.

Armaan took her leg in his hand and examined it slowly taking care he doesn't hurt her. He saw Rey flaring, seeing him with Taani. He smirked mentally and asked Taani to lie on the couch in his cabin. He took her leg and untwisted it swiftly, making her shriek again. He then held onto her feet and massaged it, raising his hands to her knees. Rey could clearly see the discomfort on Taani's face making his anger grow even more. His eyes fell on Armaan's smirking face and he was shocked when Armaan winked at him. Rey barged in.

Taani: Rey?

Rey: Haan mein!

He went further in and grabbed Armaan's collar.

Armaan: Easy dude. Mujhe haath uthane par majboor mat kar.

Taani: Rey, aap kya kar rahe ho? Chodo inhe!

Rey: Mein chodu? After what he was trying to do with you, mein chodu? Seriously?

Taani: Mera leg twist hogaya tha. He was just helping.

Rey: I saw his "help"!

Armaan: Listen tumhe kuch galath fehmi hui hai.

Rey: Koi galath fehmi nahi hui hai!

Rey tightened his grip on his collars making Armaan do the same.

Taani: Stop both of you. Rey chodo Armaan ko.

Rey left him with a jerk and stormed out. Taani followed him out but couldn't spot him anywhere. She went into the fire exit crying. Till yesterday she found this jealous Rey cute, but now he was going overboard. She knew she was using Armaan's name on purpose to make Rey jealous but what happened in the cabin shouldn't have happened.

Armaan was in search of Riddhima when he entered fire exit and spotted Taani crying.

Armaan: Taani kya hua?

Taani: Kuch nahi.

Armaan: Kahin Rey ne meri wajah se tumhe?

Taani: Aapki wajah se kuch nahi hua. I know I was doing wrong by using your name to irritate him but he shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry.

Armaan: Hey don't. Sorry mat kaho.

Armaan engulfed her into a hug when the fire exit doors opened revealing Rey. Rey was leaving the hospital when he heard some sniffing noises from fire exit. He mentally cursed himself for making Taani cry and decided to apologize, but was rooted seeing the scene in front of him.

Rey: Wow! Tum aur Armaan? Kal toh badi pyaar ki baate kar rahi thi, aaj kya hua?

Armaan: Are you her boyfriend?

Rey: Tumse matlab?

Armaan: Toh tumhe kisne haq diya Taani se sawaal karne ka ki voh yahan mere saath kya kar rahi hai?

Rey: Because tum ek ghatiya aadmi ho. Apni girlfriend ke peeth peeche tum kya kar rahe the meine dekha tumhare cabin mein.

Taani: Rey please. Aap Armaan ko accuse kar rahe hai.

Rey: Taani open your eyes and see him. He's just playing around with you.

Taani: Rey you're mistaken..

Rey: Forget it! Just stay away from him.

Armaan: Tum hote kaun ho Taani pe hukum chalanewale? Kya rishta hai tumhara uss se? Kya lagti hai vo tumhari?

Rey: She's my gir.. mujhe tumhe batane ki jarurat nahi hai. Taani ghar jao!

Taani: Aaj mein rukne wali thi.

Rey: Ghar jao! I'll wait here!
