Part - 3
Cabir sat on a chair and watched Mukti as she paced the room from this end to that.
"Mukti tu please rukh ja. Aag tu esehi pendulum ki tarha edhar se udhar jati rahi na to mein hypnotize ho jayunga, aur baad mein pata chalega mujhe Navye se payaar ho gaya hai."
"Cabir agar eshi baath tu dubara karega na to thappar parega."
"Aree tu un tin o ki gussa mujhpar kiyun nikal raha hain? Mein to ulta situation ko light banana cha raha tha."
"Yeh lightly lene whali situation nahi hain Cabir. Un tinoko ho kaya gaya hai?!? I mean Dhruv ko Nandini se payaar ho gaya aur Manik aur Alya uske suport mein hai. Have they gone mad or what? Mujhe to kuch samaz mein nahi araha."
"Okay. See, as mom said Dhruv being in love is something serious. As for Alya, Dhruv ne usse support kiya hain aur aab who kar rahi hain. Aur Manik, Mukti Dhruv Manik ka buddy hain. Who uski khushi k liye kuch bhi karega. If you want an honest answer I think they are right and don't give me that look, you wanted me to be serious I am being serious."
"OK. Sorry. Galti hogayei, whapass joker mode mein chale jaa."
"Mukti stop being so stubborn."
"Cabir."
"Mukti."
"CABIR."
"FINE."
**********************
Manik entered the auditorium and as he guessed Dhruv as already there. He went there and took a sit beside him and that's when Dhruv realized his best buddy was in the room.
"Tune aaj Cabir k ghaar nahi gaya, aunty puch rahi thi."
"Hain, who kuch kaam tha.."
"Kaam tha, yeh koi thi?" Manik asked with a smirk. At hearing this Dhruv looked down at the floor.
Manik gave a sad smile. "Dhruv kal raath..." before he could finish Dhruv cut him off.
"Kaal k bare main kaya baath karni? Mene to bol diya jo bolna tha. Aur tujhe to bathaya tha na mene meri aur Nandini ka friendship khatam kar diya. Tum saab ko usse problem hai, uski whajese kitna problem hua. Lekin mein kaya karu? Who khud akar mujhse baath karti hai, jinta bhi duur jau who phir bhi pass ajati hai. Kitna dill dukhau uska?" Dhruv said full of pain in his voice.
"Toh esa math kar. Uska dill bhi math dukha aur khud ka bhi."
"Mathlab?" Dhruv was looking at his best friend as if he saw him for the first time.
"Mathlab, e jo tera friend hain na jisse tu itna payaar karta hai, usse dur math ja kiyu ki tujhe taaklif hoti hai aur eh mujhe pasaand nahi. Hain manta hu uske saath bohath problem hue hai lekin tu uske saath khush hain. Aur mere liye teri khushi se important kuch nahi."
Dhruv was shocked but still managed to say "Le...lekin baki saab?"
"Baki saab ka kaya! Cabir Aur mukti baccho jasi hain, kuch whakth de thik ho jayega. Aur Alya, who toh tere support mein hi hai. Ja k dekh tere shaadi k dress k liye apna fashion designer se appointment bhi leliya hoga."
This made both of them laugh and Dhruv's cheeks turned slightly pink which caused Manik to laugh even more. When they stopped Dhruv spoke up "Thanks Manik." he smiled and his happiness was visible in his eyes.
"Areee tujhe payaar keye ho gaya aab mujhse formality karega?!?" after saying this he pulled Dhruv into a hug.
The girl who caused so many problems between them now was the reason to bond them again. And must say a much stronger bond.
************************
Alya was standing at the girl's washroom, looking pleased at her reflection in the mirror. After she ran away from her friends, she came here and cried her eyes out for the last one hour. But now thanks to her ability to do perfect make-up no one will have a slightest doubt on her.
As she was putting her make-up away in her bag, the door of the bathroom opened and came in none other than her enemy. Ooops sorry, her ex enemy, Nandini.
When Nandini saw who was standing in front of her she got a bit uncomfortable. I mean it was just the other day that she found out that the girl in front of her, named Alya, sent goons after her. And you can never trust a member of Fab5. Who knew what they would do to you. Well except for Dhruv because he is different, he is sweet and special and...not the right time Nandini. Focus!
"I ummm...if you want I will leave." Nandini said backing away towards the door.
"No! It's ok. Actually I wanted to talk with you." said Alya.
"Why?"
"I...I.." Alya took a deep breath before she finally said "I wanted to say sorry."
After hearing this Nandini's eyes turned into the shape of tennis balls. Is Alya Saxena saying SORRY toNandini Murti?
Alya continued, "I know I was a complete b**** to you and it's hard for you to trust me but believe me I'm actually sorry for what I did. I really am."
Nandini was yet not capable of replying rather was getting shocked each passing moment and it was surprising that her eyes didn't come out of their sockets. She never saw this side of Alya and never expected to. She was actually opening up to her.
When Nandini didn't reply Alya kept on saying "I got so possessive about Manik that I couldn't even think straight. I blamed everything on you but it was so stupid of me..."
By now Nandini came out of her shock zone and called Alya by her name to make her listen to her but with her ranting going on in full speed Alya didn't hear. So, to make her stop Nandini took a bold step, she hold Alya's arm and gave her a shake.
"Alya, it's okay."
"What? Really?" Now Alya looked shocked, she didn't think it would be so easy.
"Yes, really. You realized your mistake and that's what matters. So, I forgive you." Nandini said smiling.
Alya sighed in relief "Thanks. You have no idea how much it means to me." and then she turned all excited "And just so you know I don't mind your relationship with Dhruv either."
But her exciting smile soon turned into a teasing one when Nandini said " What relationship?Alya tumhe ho kaya gayeya hai? Pehle to sorry bola aab Dhruv ko lekar!I and Dhruv are just friends."
"Oh, just friends huh? Ok then, I don't mind you guys being 'friends'" Alya said air quoting the word friends. "Aur Fab5 meinse sirf Dhruv hi tumhara friend ho sakta hai eya mein bhi? Aab to mene sorry bhi bol diya."
"Okay, now I'm confirm tumhe kuch huya hain. Tum thore der k liye ehi ruko mein kisi ko bula kar lati hun."
"No Nandini, I'm serious. As I said I made mistakes and now I want to make them right, so what can be better then being friends?" and as her final act her placed her hand in front of her for Nandini to take it "Friends?" she asked.
Nandini could see thesincerity in Alya's eyes and couldn't help but smile. She took Alya's waiting hand and shook it.
"Friends" she said.
