Vikas Piya Gone! Nidhi gone! And he was all alone on his own..
"Hello!! mom!" Armaan waved Annanya...
"Arre!! aj mujhe kaise call kar liya???" Annanya smiled seeing Armaan on skype..
"Buss aj app ki bohat yaad a rahi hai... neend bhi nahi arahi to socha k app se baat kar lun.." Armaan pressed his lips together... Its been long he chatted with her..
"Kya baj raha hai wahan iss waqt??" Annanya asked with a frown on her face...
"Raat k 2..." Armaan told Annanya looking at the wall clock...
"Hmmm phir bhi neend nahi a rahi to zaroor koi pareshani ki baat hogi... haina???" Annanya narrowed her eyes..Praying this time it should be a girl..
"Nahi mom!!! bus yahan mein akela hun aur yeh kaam to khatam ho k de he nahi raha, bus jaldi se yeh project khatam hoga aur mein wapas a jaoon ga..." Armaan took a deep breath...
"Chalo acha hai, mein bhi tumhe bohat yaad karti hun tumhe... Armaan!! ek baat batao, kabhi... koi bhi aisi ladki nahi takrai tumse jiss k saath tum zindagii bitana chaho??" Annanya asked softly..
"Arre mom!! app phirse uss shaadi k topic pe a gai???" Armaan rolled his eyes...
"Kyun??? ab tumhari shaadi ki umar bhi to ho gai hai... ghar pe sab ko kitna intezaar hai tumhari shaadi ka... aur tum ho k shaadi k naam se he door bhaag jate ho.." Annanya raised an eye brow...
"Mom!! shaadi k saath kitni saari zimaddariyani bhi to a jati hain... mein ..chh.." Armaan chuckled.. "Kese bataoon mein nahi paal sakte yeh musibaat apne sar.." He yelled at the back of his head.
"Armaan!! zindagii aise nahi chalti... tum jis tarah chirr rahe ho naa??? usse saaf pata chalta hai k tumhe aj tak kabhi kisi bhi ladki se pyaar nahi hua.." Annaya tried to make him understand..."Dekhna, jis din wo aye gi naa... yeh jisko tum zimmadaari ka naam de rahe ho naa??? yeh khushi ban jayegi phir... Aur mujhe poora yaqeen hai k tumhare dill ko parhne wali jaldi he aye gii.." Annaya looked at Armaan lovingly...
"Arre cut it out mom!!! app bhi kya le kar beth gai??? dill ko parhne wali and stuff!! Agar jaisa app keh rahi hain wesa hota hai to mere saath to aj tak hua nahi... Aur mujhe app par poora bharosa hai, app mere liye jisse bhi pasand kareingi, wohi meri bhi pasand hogi..." Armaan finally gave up at that point... He just can not bear all this nonsense again! It was better to just satisfy them with a yes and then send them on a long never ending mission..
"Chalo phir ab se mein apni bahu ki talaash shuru kar dun???" Annanya giggled...
"Mom!!! Mujhe neend a rahi hai ab.." Armaan whined with a pout trying hard to control his real expressions.. He was missing Annanya so he called and here she started that rubbish turning his mood up side down!
"Hahahaha!!! acha chalo jao ab tum so jao!!" Annaya laughed...
"Huh!! mood ki le de macha k so jao!!" Making a face, he slammed the laptop screen down and walked inside the kitchen to have something.. He was waiting for a brand new problem to arrive.. This was like in his system now.. One goes, the other arrives!! And India was the land of problems for him... Nidhi has gone back after a huge argument with him in which he clearly told her that he is in NEWYORK not because of work but because he wants to be away from India and she should also not go back inviting hell for herself But Nidhi was also stubborn enough to believe that she just can not live like this and she will go back no matter what!
...
"Chalo beta!! sone se pehle zara check maar lo sab pe ek baar!!" Armaan told himself while taking a chair and switching on his laptop.. According to Nidhi he has became insane, he has putted small tracking chips in wrist watches and mobile phones of all the family members.. If someone is going to change mobile, atleast wrist watches are in daily use.. The device was able to track down the location and so he makes it a point to check everyone before going to sleep..
Tonight, Rahul and Rohail were missing which made him allert.. "Hosakta hai office k kisi kaam se kahin ja rahe hon by Air.." He thought.. It was definitely morning in India at the moment.. "Do teen ghante baad dobara check karta hun!" He told imself and went to bed..
It was about 3 when he woke up in the night to have some water and check but as soon as he checked, his mouth hung up and eyes opped out.. So many things were scattered all over the appartment and they could be at his place any moment..
Quickly rushing, grabbing things, he opened up his safe place and almost slammed everything inside, the ring of door bell allerted him and locking up all, he made sure nothing look fishy around and then again wearing his sleepy look, he went to open the door..
"Iss waqt kaun a gaya hai??? Wo bhi yahan???" Armaan made a face saying it loud so they could hear..He opened the main door with a yawn where Rahul and Rohail were standing with there bags...
"Kya bhai?? aur deir se kholte darwaza..." Rahul complained and without giving him any chance to question both of them entered...
"Tum??? oh hello!! tum donow yahan kya kar rahe ho??? wo bhi achanak iss tarah???" Armaan rubbed his eyes...
"Kyun??? ghar mein kisi ko chupa k rakha hai?? jo humare ane se pareshaan ho rahe ho???" Rohail teased...
"Chup bay! Tum pehle mujhe yeh batao k tum donow yahan kaise???" Armaan asked while closing the door...
"Socha chuttiyaan manein!!" Rahul laughed and Rohail too, thinking about their real intentions of visiting him...
"Mujhe pagal samjha hai tum donow ne???" Armaan frowned...He was damn sure again stupid wedding thing is on and these two idiots are here to convince him..
"Haan!! wohi to banne wale ho tum bhai!!" Rohail laughed...
"Dafa ho jao! mein sone ja raha hun, meri neend kharab kardi.." Armaan threw a sofa cusion at them and marched towards his room... It was so necessary to behave normal with them..
"Bhai se baat kase karoge??? joote lagaye gaa yeh to humay..." Roahil asked Rahul when Armaan went back to sleep...
"Hum koi rishta le kar aye hain jo baat kareinge???? Hum baat thodi karein gay hum to tafreeh lein gay..." Rahul gave an evil smile...
...
"Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho???" Armaan asked with narrow eyes as Rahul entered in his cabin in the evening...
"Office ghoomne aya hun!!" Rahul replied sarcastically...
"Bhai!! tum kitne kanjoos ho gaye ho... itne bare ghar mein, ek bhi servant nahi hai.." Rahul grinned his teeth taking a chair...
"India nahi hai yeh.. per hour k hisaab se charge hota hai yahan.. Aur Kaun jhele gaa servants ko??? aur mere akele ki liye servants ki koi zaroorat nahi hai..." Armaan replied in an irritated tone...
"Itna irritate kyun ho rahe ho??? kya hua hai??? Kal raat ko hum aye hain aur tab se ab tak tum sirf jhinjlaye hue he dikh rahe ho???" Rahul asked with concern...
"Kuch nahi yaar!! audit chal raha hai aj kal... " Armaan made some reason.. He was irritated because now this marrige stuff was getting serious and some really good plan was needed to put a full stop on it..
"To aise bolna tha naa... mein pareshaan hogaya k pata nahi kya hua hai..." Rahul breathed lightly...
"Khair yeh sab chor... yeh bata ghar mein sab kaise hain??? Aur tum donow waqai ghoomne aye ho ya kuch aur chakkar hai???" Armaan asked with doubtful look.. Ofcorse he has to play it smart and innocent..
"Neend poori karne aye hain!! seriously matlab humay sunday ko bhi off nahi milta hai, Chachoo aur Dad k under kaam karna is too difficult..." Rahul gave a deadly look...
"Hahahahaha!! " Armaan laughed..."Rohail kahan hai???" He asked...
"Neend poori kar raha hai, mujhe bhook lagi thi dekha to kuch tha he nahi ghar mein... isiliye socha aaj itne time baad tumhare saath lunch kiya jaye..." Rahul smiled...
"Arre haan yaar sorry!! wo time he nahi mila mujhe ghar k liye shopping karne ka.." Armaan apologized...
"Tum shaadi karlo bhai!! tension he khatam ho jaye gii iss sab ki..." Rahul gave Armaan a serious suggestion...
"Yeh kaam khatam kar ke meine wapas ghar he jana hai beta! yahan humesha nahi rehna hai jo mein iss sab se bachne k liye shaadi kar lun..." Armaan answered sarcastic...
"Shaadi azaab hai.. haina???" Rahul smirked...
"Nahi yaar!! lekin bojh bhi nahi honi chahiye naa... agar marzi nahi hai to shaadi kar k faida??? na khud khush raho na he doosre ko rakh pao..." Armaan gave an explanation...
"Huhhh yeh to hai... wese ghar pe roz ka yehi topic hai... kya khayal hai??? koi pasand i?? " Rahul asked with a bit naughty smile...
"Nahi yaar!! time kahan hai iss sab k liye... wese bhi meine mom ko bol diya hai jo bhi unki pasand he meri pasand bhi hogi..." Armaan gave an straight answer... "Jisse mein har haal mein reject karunga!" A voice echoed at the back of his head..
"Arre??? agar kal ko ghar walon ko koi bhi pasand a jaye aur wo rishta tey kar dein phir tumhe achi naa lagay to??? zindagii azaab banao gay kya???" Rahul rasied his voice...
"Jazbati kyun ho rahe ho itna??? paani pee lo..." Armaan asked Rahul to calm down... "Beta! tum he donow meri madad karoge iss musibat se bahar nikalne mein." He smirked quietly glancing at Rohail
"Pata nahi yaar.. lekin aj tak kisi bhi ladki se mil k aisa nahi laga k mein usske saath zindagii guzaarna chahta hun... na he koi achi lagi k uske saath time spend karne ka jee chahe..." Armaan said while having his food... All three brothers were out for lunch..
"Lo humay to roz koi na koi aisi ladki dikh jati hai.." Rohail laughed...
"Abay oye sudhar jaa... chup chap se khana khao..." Armaan shook his head at both his brothers
"Acha khair, yeh shaadi ka topic ab close... aur do teen din aur araam kar lo lekin phir office ana shuru karo tum donow taa ke yeh project khatam ho kisi tarah..." Armaan almost ordered...
"Haan humay bhi to apna project khatam karna hai..." Rohail took a deep breath...
"Tumhara project???" Armaan cocked his eyes... "Samajh raha hun sab.." He sighed quietly..
"Iss ka matlab hai k tum jald se jald ghar lauto... sab bohat miss karte hain tumhe..." Rahul tried to cover up...
...
Armaan was in his cabin checking some file whereas Rohail was at home and Rahul was out for some shopping...He was turning the pages and found a picture in between.. "Shilpa!" He arched his eyebrow... "Vikas bhi naa.." Shaking his head, he put the picture aside and then stopped.. "Vikas ko gaye time hogaya! yeh file tab exist nahi karti thi aur yeh picture latest dikh rahi hai!" Smoke started coming out of his ears.. "Ghar pe sab ka dimagh kharab hogaya hai!!!!" He yelled..
Back in the time of school, Armaan used to be so tired and irritated of listeing about this annoying irritating cousin of Vikas.. She sounds such a stubborn little wild cat to him.. He wonders how Vikas tolerates her.. It was a coincidence that he never met anyone other than Vikas's parents..Whenever he visited his place it was just a mere conincidence that no other family visitors were found..
Obsessed with first position, Armaan makes it a point to arrange his notes in such a way that at the time of exams its only revision needed from those.. No book reading, nothing! He clearly remember how he gave his notes to Vikas to get a photostate and how when he turned back in the midway to tell about something he forgot, he found all his notes turning into small paper ships by this little mouse named Shilpa Malhotra...
He didn't knew how much effort he took to stop himself from killing her and not showing up.. Next moment Vikas was found shaouting and then that little mouse yelling back that he forgot his icecream and so why would she listen to him and bla bla... That was the very first time when Armaan saw her and hated her instantly.. Next day, Vikas came to him with a puppy face and remaing notes!! Urghhh They both worked extra hard two days to complete them again and Armaan was sure, he was never going to forget this girl. How can he forget her because of whom his precious notes got destroyed!!
It is said that the more you run away from something, the more you get chased by it.. It felt like a curse to him when time to time she keeps showing up around him.. Even though Vikas moved Dehli but his annoying sister was found frequently by Armaan at different places.. Not only Shilpa but muskaan too..
Years Later after the return from crappy danger spree, One day he was driving back home during a heavy rainfall when his eyes fell on some insane person's car in front of him who was taking a dangerous dark route with a punchured tyre.. He was sure an accident is coming up and when he saw a woman inside, he hit his head hard.. "Issko rokna padega!" He thought as he saw the car speeding up..
He had no idea why suddenly he was on this helping spree.. when he got their, he practically laughed out as the car was already broken down and that lady was even acting more foolish allowing her to drentch in rain and invisible her dress plus her heels.. Getting out, he helped her and even gave her his jacket to cover up.. And when she narrated her address, that is when he took a better look of her face and realised.. This was the same troubling devil who has turned up so hawt and beautiful.. Dropping her, he drove back and landed in some awesome traffic for which he would never forgive her..
Next he saw her in a picture at Vikas's place here in NewYork and now he was seeing her picture on his table.. "Yeh to mere saamna aye mein isska murder kardun!!" He gritted his teeth and quickly took a glass of water to calm himself down.. Obviously he was judgy about the whole incident that happened with Piya there and he was also very much aware about the fact that Vikas is in no contact with this family anymore..
Pouring down the remaining water over her picture, he rubbed his fingers over it to make it blur and then smirked.."Yeh kis ladki ki photograph hai??? Zaroor yeh Rahul ya Rohail donow mein sekisi ki harkat hai... kabhi to sudhar jaein..." Armaan chuckled getting ready for his drama..
...
"Yeh kaun hai???" Armaan gritted his teeth keeping Shilpa's picture on the dining table..
"Yeh????" Both Rohul and Rohail looked at each other with a grin..
"Koi ladki lagti hai... lekin iss ke chehre ko kya hua hai???" Rahul tried to hide his smile...
"Yeh to mujhe bhi pata hai k yeh ladki hai! lekin yeh photograph office ki file mein kya kar rahi thi??? Aur yeh photo hai kis ki" Armaan glared at both of them...
"Hone wali bhabhi ki..." Rohail blurted out...
"Kya????" Armaan's eyes popped out... Why was he even expecting this can be another case..
"Mera matlab hai k ... Rahul ka love interest hai to meri to bhabhi hui naa..." Rohail put the cap on Rahul's head...
"Meri???" Rahul jumped up at this sudden attack...
"Rahul k bache... pehle kuch ban to jao phir ishq larana... aur tu ne mujhse chupaya???" Armaan narrowed his eyes..."Idiots! jhoot bhi dhung se bolna nahi ata.." He yelled inside him..
"Abay kya bol raha hai???" Rahul hit Rohail...
"Wese bhai!!! apko kaisi lagi???" Rohail avoided Rahul's glaring eyes...
"Achi hai!! i mean ghar walon ko pasand aye gii... lekin pehle settle to ho jao..." Armaan put his thoughts forward... "Poora ghar barbaad kar degi!! Purane rishte sambhalte nahi.. huh!! bada nae banayegi!" He gritted his teeth..
"Arre ghar walon ko to a he jaye gii pasand mein to app ki pasand pooch raha hun.." Rohail inquired more...
"Arre bola naa she is nice!! Chehra blur hone ki wajah se theek se nahi dikh raha lekin meine kahin to dekha hai isse..." Armaan scratched his head... "Kahin dekha hai bolne ki kya zaroorat thi?? bewaqoof!!" He mentally cursed himself..
"Arre wah! app miley hain pehle Shilpa se??" Rahul asked winking at Rohail..
"Shilpa??? kahin to dekha hai isse.. lekin kahan yeh yaad nahi... but she is nice.." Armaan pressed his lips together... "Very Nice!! Perfect for rejection!!" He murmered..
"Matlab... bus aise he hai??? kuch zyaada khaas nahi hai..." Rohail made a bad face and tried to control his laugh... He never heard Armaan so soft that too about a girl but he missed the sarcasm..
"Arre mujhe kya pata yaar??? jo patta raha hai usse poocho..." Armaan again glared at Rahul...
"Bhai!! Tumhara dill to kisi k liye abhi tak dharka nahi... to mujhe kyun ghoor rahe ho??? mera dill to dharak sakta haina??" Rahul talked non sense..
"Abay chup kar naa... baat kyun bigar raha hai???" Rohail pinched Rahul...
"Wese agar aisi he koi ladki ghar walon ne app k liye dhoond li jis mein saari qualities hon jo wo chahte hain to??? ghar walon ki khushi k liye haan kar dein gay??? ya apne dill ki sunn k naa???" Rohail asked carefully...
"Phir meri shaadi beech mein le kar a gaye... ajeeb ho tum log... aur wese bhi yeh ladki dikhne mein achi hai, aur agar aisi he koi ghar walon ko bhi pasand ho to mein... kis base pe mana karunga??? Jab mera kisi se koi commitment hai he nahi to phir dill ki kya sunoo??? a b c d??" Armaan answered raising his shoulders...
"Matlab yeh ladki dekhne mein sweet aur sensible lagti hai..." Rohail again asked...
"Haan!! atleast unse to different lag rahi hai jo aj kal ki hain... chipku!!" Armaan made a face... His target was set and Shilpa was the easiest..
"Bhai ek baat kahun???" Rahul asked showing his dimples..
"Kya???" Armaan smiled...
"Yeh Rohail k saath saath, meri hone wali bhabhi bhi hai..." Rahul started laughing...
"What????" Armaan jumped up and Rohail burst out laughing at his face...
"Tum donow.???" Armaan shouted with widen eyes... How the hell they said out loud on his face..
"Haan hum donow!! isiliye to aye thai!! Ab tum maan gaye bhai!! wah, ab maza aye gaa!!!" Rohail dances...
"Maze k bache... ruko tum donow abhi batata hun..." Armaan ran after them and they ran to save their lives...
...
"Yaar kahan dekha hai meine isse?? Chehra kuch saaf dikh raha hota to shayad pehchaan leta..." Armaan scratched his head with Shilpa's photo in his hand which was covered with scratched and stains of water, her face was also not very much visible...
"Khair! ab un namoonow k saamne bol diya hai to zahir hai k ghar tak to baat pohunch he gai hogi!! Beta Armaan! Ab to milna he pare ga.. Khair usme kya hai??? mil ke dekh leyta hun shayad mujhe bhi yaad a jaye k meine isse pehle kahan dekha hai..." Armaan thought and decided to meet Shilpa... He knew Rahul was at the door..
CHAPTER 2: A CONFUSING YES!
"Shilpa! Shilpa! Shilpa! Pakk gaya hun sunn sunn k mein." Armaan gritted his teeth pulling out the landline wire away from the phone... "Ek call jo maine uthai ab ghar walon mein se kisi ki.." He took his oath.. Shilpa's whole biodata was taken out and gone through carefully already by Armaan! This girl have prooved to be a disaster for him since day 1.. The bad news was she hold no past record of a boyfriend neigther any mummy daddy girl records.. She was neigther completely homely, negther completely out door lover! She was a balanced girl in terms of all this.. "Wohin ja k kuch karna padega isska!" He sighed.. Training did taught him few tricks he uses in his daily life now.. It has become a part of his personality that he holds such expressions and shows the world as if he don't care to pay attention on anything random but actually he does.. His eyes runs around like some detectives and scans every even unnecessary object! So, Vikas was not the problem for him at the moment as even Vikas could really tell people that Armaan has no idea Shilpa can be his sister!
With the return back home, the very first step he decided to take was to meet her like a stranger unofficially and end it all.. When Rohail told him about Atul being in university premises for some work, an evil idea strike him! He too decided to pay a visit there with an excuse of meeting Atul and start his proper game!
"Yeh Abhi yahan kya kar raha hai???" Armaan asked Atul passing a confused look... He was quite shocked to see Abhi after so long.. He has to admit Abhi was looking more dashing, handsome and mature then ever.. Just glases were the new addition!
"Beta! Board Members mein se ek hai wo... Nikki yaad hai??" Atul smirked...
"Nik..ki" Armaan felt like banging Atul's head to the wall and laugh out loud.. how the hell can he forget Nikki.. His life ruined just because he tried to ran away and not marry her.. It would have been even better if he would have just married her and let Abhi be upset with him for a while.."Arre Nikki yaani Principal Sir ki beti???" He quickly wore his innocent mask back and nodded in a yes...
"Shaadi karli issne uske saath..." Atul replied...
"Oh hooo!!!! Jabhi yeh Shilpa aunty picture mein ayi hain!!" His eyes raised up.. " Aur kameene donow ek number ke.. mujhe na bataya na bulaya shaadi mein, saalon! mein nahi gaya hota naa uss time to kabhi nahi honi thi yeh shaadi!!" He praised the two in his own way in mind "Zabardast! Kya haath maara hai! Principal ki beti pe direct...Settle hogaya hai yaani bunda!" Armaan giggled...
It became even more easier when he was led to the class to teach and there his eyes scanned her.."Wow!! Itni asaani se kaam ban gaya!!" He started dancing in his mind.. Turning his face to granite, he got fully ready to scare the hell out of everyone.. It was just Anjali who was his main concern! He was expecting her to be the only reason why his plan can backfire.. Her mischevious smile and Shilpa's nervous look was telling him the whole story already!
"Lets annoy her!!" Bitting his lower lip he came in full form and started.. The whole time not even a single look he gave her, his face flushed when she reacted in a same way fully getting absorbed with the class.. "Focused! Ahan!!" He was impressed..
"Sir!" She raised her hand to ask something making him stunned.. "Good going! mera kaam to yahin hojane wala hai aj!!" He thoughed back and then again started.. "Good Question.. Miss???" He knew this is going to be a dose 1 of insult.. "Aur ab main sochun arre.. isse kahan dekha hai maine??" He was already working with the backup story incase due to Anjali he needs to explain himself to someone..
"Shilpa!" Shilpa smiled sarcastically feeling really low that he didn't even recognized her... What she knew is that he have seen her photograph atleast...
"Yeah Thanks!" Armaan made face to show her that how much he hated to hear it and then smiled which actually was a result of her sarcasm "Yeh Shilpa naam kyun takra raha hai mujhse itna?? Ghar pe bhi Shilpa! Shilpa! Aur ab yahan bhi... Logon k pass naam khatam ho gaye hain kya?? He dramatically made a comment at the back of his head..
His head turned upside up side down when even after this much she landed up in the library along with Anjali.. "Smjhao... SHILPA KO BHI SAMAJHNA HAI..."Well it was evident Anjali was dragging her but still.."Ek to iss Shilpa naam se chirr hogai hai mujhe... do maheene se sunn sunn k thuk gaya hun!!" Armaan blabbered out to make her feel insult even more.. Again a new drama and even he got really pissed off when she started arguing over the wrong point and kept going "No wonder she is such a wild cat!" He gritted his teeth and to end it full and final asked "I don't know why but... Have we met before??? "
Done with this part of story now he had to work back to give everything a natural look.."Lekin meine... Iss wali Shilpa ko kahan dekha hai yaar?????? Kyun mujhe lag raha hai meine isse kahin dekha hai???" He scratched his head just as he would do if something goes wrong!
"Baap re... kitna larti hai??? I hope jiss Shilpa se mein milne wala hun wo laraku na ho..." Armaan smiled thinking how angry she looked when he disagreed with her point..."Aur hui to.. tata bye bye!" He grinned..
CHAPTER 3 : FIRST MEETING
"Chalo ajj pata chale gaa mere ghar walay mujhe kitni achi tarah se jaante hain!! I mean Wow!! sab ko itna confidence hai k wo mujhe pasand a jaye gii jese meine inhe description diya ho k mujhe kaisi ladki chahiye..."He smirked while laying down on the bed.. He had full plans to show her in a place where family themselves will reject her for him..
When suddenly he thought about Rahul Rohail in her favour, he had to thnk again of something.. He was not at all getting what magic that wild cat has done on them? "Jo bhi ho... iss Shilpa se to kese bhi peecha churana hai... naam sun sun k he tung agaya hun mein... shaadi kya khak karunga? Kisi se bhi nahi karunga! Kuch to ab seriously sochna parega iss baare mein... Aur to aur baaki sab ko side pe rakhun tab bhi, yeh Rahul aur Rohail ko kya hogaya hai??? wo bhi Shilpa k he favor mein bole ja rahe hain... Mujhe yeh meri kum uski family zyaada lag rahi hai ab..." He pouted and closing his eyes drifted off to sleep while making castles in the air to get rid of this matter as soon as possible...
Sleeping well, taking a long lazy bath Armaan made sure to annoy his very own family as much as possible to for even choosing a girl like Shilpa for him.. It was another thing he would have also rejected anyone else if choosen but still, Shilpa was the special case..
Rohail covered him up and he was more annoyed.. "Ab jab mein jaan booj k sab kar rah hun to issko bada mujhe bachane ka shaw charha hai!" He cursed Rohail under his breath.."Dhakkan tu mujhe bacha nahi phasa raha hai!!" He murmured out while choosing a T-Shirt, As a backup plan he was even ready to get rejected if not rejecting..
Rohail was such a pain at the moment and Armaan knew he just can not win from him.. Well if not his looks turning bad then definitely his image will in front of Malhotra's when he will be late like hell..
...
Going against his nature, acting awkward! he had enough.. Naturally something happened and he broke the ice with Shashank about revealing to family about his very first interview! "Agar dad se shart nahi lagi hoti aur inhi k pass job pe lag jata to itni lumbi leave kabhi nahi milti.. Jhak maar k yahin rehna parta aur uss aafat se bach jata!" He mentally cursed himself again..
Muskaan entered "Yeh Shilpa hai? Nahi! kyun nai??" Armaan glanced at her and turned his face to other side almost whining inside "Yeh utni jungly nahi dikh rahi hai, iska bakra araam se ban sakta tha! lekin photograh mein curly hairs nahi thai... to yeh wo to nahi ho sakti..." He talked rubbish, kiddish inside and crap!! he saw Anjali hiding behind the door.. "Yeh musibat yahan bhi pohunch gayi?? Damn!! Atul k bache! tujhe koi dhung ki ladki nahi mili thi?? Yeh to mere plan ki le de macha degi!" He made a fist out of his hands to control his anger and act normally..
Again he ignored but chocked out naturally on seeing Shilpa! She was actually in a very changed avatar.. No wonder why family couldn't see how much of a troubling queen she was.. "Oh ho ho! Innocence to aise chehre se tapak rahi hai jese kabhi ek makhi bhi nahi maari issne.." He gritted his teeth on watching her sitting down next to Annanya.. "Huh! Mere mehnat se banaye notes ki kashtiyaan bana k paani mein daali ja rahi thi!!" He led out an angry breath... Still his mind was working and he was jotting down whole back story at the back of the head he will be narrating to others sometime if asked.. It was clear to him that Anjali Shilpa are close friends and so his story for rejection and meeting her and bla bla should cover everything which can be convinceable to all...
...
It was like 5 minutes passed by and they were still walking in quiet...
"So... Tum MBA kar rahi ho???" Armaan pressed his lips together putting his both hands in his pockets.. His game already started..
"Ummm... jee.. Aap dekh he chuke hain.." Shilpa replied in a low voice...
"Politeness??" His eyes widen up.. "Main marr jaoonga aise to.." He wanted to bang his head into something.."Wo... Subha k liye I am really sorry!!! I know tumhe bohat bura laga hoga lekin Actually... Meine tumhari photograph dekhi he nahi thi.. uspe paani gir gaya tha... so it wasn't clear to me... Yahan aya tumhe dekha to yaad aya k ek baar tumhe tez baarish mein ghar bhi drop kiya tha meine..." Armaan cleared the Air... He was smiling inwardly at her reaction and thinking to stake himself through his heart.."Who the hell just told you to clear the air??" He asked himself..
"Sir!!!... I mean its ok!!" Shilpa called him Sir by mistake in a flow...
"Sir???" Armaan looked at her in a disbelieve... "Wow! never mind if he clared the air.. he still have a chance to win.."
"I am sorry! Actually aj subha itna sir sir kiya naa... isiliye.." Shilpa smiled on that... "Lo!! yeh isko laga mujhe ajeeb laga sir sunke.. No! No! i loved it!! Call me Sir aur sir shaadi nahi karte students se.. Bye!" He shouted at the back of his head..
"So... what do you do???" Armaan felt shortage of thoughts to converse more with her... He had to be extremely careful..
"Filhaal to MBA... phir agay plan hai office join karne ka..." Shilpa stated clearly...
"Achi baat hai! Kum he sahi lekin work experience zaroor hona chahiye..." He supported her thoughts...
"Aur aap??? I mean suddenly a switch from a business man to a professor??" Shilpa asked innocently...
"Switch?? Wo to mera style statement bann gaya hai!" He sighed internally.."Aree yaar!! Aisa kuch nahi hai... Actually mein atul se milne gaya tha aur wahan Principal sir ne mujhe rok liya... Mujhe zabardasti tum logon ki class mein bheja gaya tha... And i know i made a face hearing your name jo tumhe obvious hai bura laga hoga... but mein pata nahi kab se tumhara naam sunn sunn k pakk gaya tha... To bus isiliye wo reaction aya..." Armaan cleared more... He doesn't want her to misunderstand him... "Have you lost it completely??" He felt like his nerves popping up.. He just can't believe he said this and did this.. to hell with whatever she thinks of him.. why do he care?? Urghhh!!
They both started talking normal now... Shilpa was feeling much comfortable talking with him for which his style and attitude were responsible... Inside he was hell annoyed because his plan wasn't working.. He was saying things out of blue he should never say... He was landing in a huge problem..
"She is nice!! Totally my type..." Armaan told himself sarcastically with a plastered smile on his face.. "Kis angle se?? gharwalon ka to poora dimagh he kharab hogaya hai!!" He was shouting again and again inside..
"Shilpa!! You exactly know for what reason i am here... And to be honest tum pehli ladki ho aur shayad akhri bhi jisse mein Shaadi k liye mil raha hun..." Armaan said looking down on the grass... "Kyunki isske baad main iss shaadi k topic ko he close krdunga!" He addd to himself.. "Zaroori yeh hai k apne gharwalon ko agar kuch deir k liye hum bhool jayein to kya hum waqai ek doosre k saath apni baaki ki zindagii bitana chahte hain??? I mean tumhare apne plans hain, Aur meri apni philosophies... Kum se kum humay ek doosre k baare mein itna to pata hona chahiye that it will be enough to know that we can actually make this Marriage work..." Armaan tried to explain her his thoughts... he had to make sure she finds him weird and opposite to her..
"App ki baat bilkul sahi hai... Hum ek doosre k baare mein sirf utna jaante hain jitna doosrow ne humay bataya... Aur mujhe nahi pata k app mere baare mein kya sochte hain??? Maybe aj dopahar mein jis tarah se mera apke saath argument hua uske baad ap mujhe ek akru sir phiri ladki samjhte hon???" Shilpa gave him an innocent look..
"hAAN BILKUL! Jo tum ho wohi samajhta hun!! Lekin abhi kuch dhung ka bolna padega dobara mandlane lagay hain namoone.." He huffed noticing Rahul and Anjali at the door..."Sach kahun to... sir phiri nahi... lekin laraku kaafi lagi thi but the same thing ab tumse milne k baad meri rai tumhare baare mein bilkul change hogai... First Impression is the Last One! I actually don't agree with this..." Armaan smiled at her which made her look down...
"To... Phir?? Aap mere baare mein kuch janna nahi chahein gay???" Shilpa asked pressing her lips together...
"Sirf itna k tumhare sapne kya hain??? Tum zindagii se kya chahti ho?? Aur Apne life partner mein kya expect karti ho???" In short Armaan inquired about her whole life... It was even just kind of a formality...
"Mere koi bare bare sapne nahi hai... Mein sapne sirf utne dekhti hun jinhe mein khud poora karne ki salahiyat rakhti hun... Aur zindagii se mein wo sab kuch chahti hun jo zindagii mujhe dena chahti hai... phir wo sukh ho ya dukh isse farq nahi parta kyunki jo mere pass hai wohi mere saath hai... Aur jahan tak baat life partner ki hai... To uss baare mein sach mein meine kabhi nahi socha..." Shilpa smiled lightly...
"WTH!! Isski baaton ko le k chalun to bus mein to phir buss mera to hogaya kaam!!" She practically made him jerkup.. He was annoyed!
"Aur app???" Shilpa questioned back...
"Mein????" Armaan chuckled... he was still lost in her truthfulness and honesty crappy dream world.. How he wished to drag her show what the real hell world is!...
"Well abhi tak to meine waqai itna seriously kabhi nahi socha k mein zindagii se kya chahta hun ya mere sapne kya hai??? Kyunki jo sapne thai wo poore hogaye and Right now what i am thinking is that we can make this relationship work out..." It was a slip of tongue 'we cannot make this relationship workout' was the real thing he wanted to say and end things up but it just slipped as he saw Rahul coming to him and the damage was done! She was blushing and he wants to ripp his ownhead off.. "Damn! Blushing??" He tried to shake him.. He don't remember seeing a real girl infront of him blushing since like ages..
...
"To??? Kaisi lagi??" Annanya whispered in his ear...
"Do i have a choice???" Armaan smiled sarcastically... He wasn't kidding, he was actually asking it which he thought will make Annanya confuse but his brain fried when she asked "Matlab pasand i...??" God! she took it wrong..
"Mo.." He wanted to correct but then those eyes.. Everybody was looking at him.."Achi hai!!" Armaan commented just like that looking outside tried to pass some not interested look and again he was in problem.. He had no idea shilpa was working there..
Tables were turned, Roka was happening about which he has no freaking idea.. He was pissed off like hell.. He wanted to march out from there right then but few things are just for thinking.. not doing! "Vikas! You are my only hope.." He mentally started with a backup plan.. There was no way he was marrying anyone especially Shilpa Malhotra.. A disaster for him and a girl according to him who even don't know how to takecare of her beloved relationships.. Obviously Vikas and Piya's case was not forgotten by him.. He was sure Vikas will also ask him to backout from this and screw his own tussul with Shilpa or marriage but it will be more than enough to reject her by saying the family who could'nt give a proper place and respect to the girl they brought in as their daughter in law, surely their own girl will also be carrying same and would break his very own family! He just cannot let that happen!
