~ARMAAN~: With Pics...

Thank you for appreciating my story... all of want the names of my lead characters to be changed from Sidhant (Sid)- Khushi to Sujal- Kashish... that is the popular demand. So I've done it... the rest of the names will remain the same. Sujal will not be Sujal Garewal... he will be Sujal Singhania, and Kashish will be Kashish Malhotra, until she gets married to either Chetan or Sujal or someone else... that only time will tell.

Also most of you were unable to see the pics, so I'm posting them too.

P.S. From now on my story will appear in this topic... forget the other one.

PART# 1

07:00 a.m. SINGHANIA HOUSE MUMBAI

Neha is with the aarti every morning in the Singhania House starts with her puja… Neha goes to Pratab… he takes aarti and then she knocks at Dheraj & Padma's bedroom door…

Dheraj opens: 'Good Morning bhabhi…' takes aarti 'Bhabhi… Paddy to as usual so rahi hai… voh kiya hai ki kal raat 3 bajey voh Mrs. Sharma ki party se aai… us ne champagne kuch ziada pi li thee aur phir…'

Pratab interrupts: 'to is main naya kya hai Dheraj? 28 saal hogayay tumhari aur Padma ki shaadi ko… she's always been like this… dair raat tak parties main rahti hai… then gets drunk… aur ussey us ka koi friend ghar chor jata hai… it's a shame on the family…'

Neha: 'jaaney bhi dain… Dheraj… tum jantey ho naa apney bhaiya ko…'

Dheraj: 'it's okay bhabhi… bhabhi… aaj breakfast main aaloo key parathey ho jaen? aap bana denaa… voh last time Paddy se kaha tha, aur us ne Ekta ko bol diya… aur Ekta ko to aap jaanti hain… us ney namak ki jagah shakar daal di thi…'

Neha: (laughs)… 'haan voh is leay kyunki Bobby ko parathey main shakar pasand hai…'

Pratab: 'ohh please! Subhah subhah us Bobby ka naam le kar mera mood mat kharaab karo… ajeeb aurat hai… mera matlab hai aadmi hai… ahh! Jo bhi hai…' and walks off…

Neha then goes to everyone for aarti… she goes to Sam's room… his room is a mess… and he's sleeping… the music… TV & computer all are on simultaneously… there are empty boxes of Pringles scattered all around… empty cans of diet Pepsi… and Max- Sam's dog is sleeping on his files…

Neha: 'hay bhagwaan!!! Ajeeb larka hai… she's goes to him & tries waking him up… utho Sam… aarti ley lo…' strokes his hair…

Sam: holds her hand and mumbles in his sleep… 'tum aagaee darling??? Mujhey pata tha tum aao gi… I knew it… I knew…

Neha hit him with his hockey stick… : 'uth nalaeq!!! Din raath larkion key barey main soocta rehta hai… chal aarti ley ley… '

He takes aarti, Neha is about to leave but stops & says… 'oh by the way… Sid wants you come over to the office today… kuch papers sign karne hain… aur hospital aa jana 5 baje, kuch legal kaam hai… meet Mr. Shukla… aur phir mujh se mil kar jana… & clean your room, varna Ekta ko bheej doon gi…'

Sam: 'oh no mom… us ki zarrorat nahiin hai… last time jab Ekta merey kamrey aae thi… uff….'

Neha goes over to another room…. A guy is sleeping on a king sized bed… there are large windows giving a spectacular view of the gardens at the Singhania residence… there is a file resting on the guy's chest… indicating that he'd been working late at night… he's wearing a navy blue sleep suit… Neha wakes him… he takes aarti… 'good morning mom'

Neha: (hands him a file) 'good morning beta… is main kuch larkiyon ka bio-data… family background, aur photographs hain… please dekh lena… Sid… main aur tumharey dad bohot pareshaan hain… it's time you got married… waisey to hamein tumharey liyay aik larki pasand hai… magar… wahan naa ka chance nahiin le saktey… I know it Sidhant, voh larki tumhare liye perfect hai… lekin agar ham ney us ke parents se baat karli aur phir tum ne usse reject kar diya… well… forget it… tum ye photographs dekh lo…' She is about to leave…

Sid: Mom… aik minute… aap ko in sab main se koi larki pasand nahiin hai to aap ney mujhe ye details kyun deen?

Neha: aisee baat nahiin hai… ye sab larkiyan achi hain… magar us ke aagey…

Sid: aisi kon si larki hai jisse aap apni bahu banane key liyee itni betaab hain???

Just then his cell rings…'Yes Mr. Desai… ji… ji.. ji.. what time is it now??? What? 8 baj gayey?… I'll be there in half an hour…'

Sid: 'Mom aap jaante hain main subhah 8 bajey office chala jata hoon… I didn't get up today… & you didn't wake me up???… khair choren… I'll have to rush'

THE SINGHANIA'S at their dining table for breakfast… all except Sid who's left for the office… Pratab's cell phone rings…

Before I continue… I'd like to elaborate the relation between the Singhaia's & Malhotra's… Pratab & Akash are childhood friends & business associates… they're like brothers… but well they don't live together like CG & Lalit in KTH- they're a bit realistic… and well, they have separate businesses too.

Pratab: 'haan bolo Akash… itni subhah kaisay phone kiya?'

Akash: 'aik good news hai…'

Pratab; 'that's exactly what I need… a good news to start my day… baqi ka din bhi acha rehta hai… shoot.'

Akash: 'Khushi is coming back to India…. us ka MBA ka result aagaya hai… she's passed… and she's coming back…'

Pratab: 'arey wah!!! Tumhe apna waada toh yaad hai naa?'

Akash: 'haan haan… but I hope ki tumhe bhi tumhara waada yaad hoga…'

Pratab: 'of course… aaram se baat karte hain… aaj 1 bajey… JWB Marriot… lunch is on me…'

Akash: 'sure… I'll be there… waisey Nandani keh rahi thi ki bhabhi bhi aajaey to acha hoga… we can all sit and talk… kiya khayaal hai?'

Pratab: 'okay… we'll be there… bye' and hangs up

Pratab: 'aaj aik bajey hum Akash aur Nandini Bhabhi key saath lunch Karen gey… be ready… I'll have the driver pick you from the hospital at 12:30'

Neha: okay… magar hua kiya?

Pratab: Khushi has passed her MBA… she's coming back to India…

Head office of SINGHANIA GROUP OF INDUSTRIES… a guy enters the executive suite of offices of the CEO, he's wearing a black suit… black shirt, Gucci shoes… a Rolex chromium… a white Italian silk tie to go with his Don Pedigree silk shirt… platinum studded cuffs… hair styled as if he's just watched DCH… he's carrying a black leather briefcase in his left hand… right hand in the pocket of his trousers… he leaves a smell of Jaguar- Men's body cologne behind him… every girl turns to look at him… he looks like a movie star… he enters the office of the PA to CEO.

Monalika- PA: 'good morning sir… you're looking exceptionally handsome today… wish you were my boyfriend… I'd have something to show off…' she's in awe of the guy…

Guy: 'and I wish that you'd just stop flirting with me Monalika so that we could get sown to work… I want you to bring in all the e-mails, letters, faxes & phone call messages that you have for me… and bring in the position of the Stock Market… the company's accounts have to be checked by me today, I believe… please bring in that file… then I want you to dispatch a termination of contract to William & Co. regarding our liquor supply… tell them we want re arranging of the contract… the details are in this CD… make sure you do it now… and fax Roger Williams on his personal line… bring in the architectural plans for the bridge that we are building in Delhi… and set up appointments for all department heads at 12 in the Senior conference room… I want the month's report… and fix me an appointment for lunch with Mr. Dheraj… am I clear?'

Monalika- with a bewildered expression on her face: 'Yes Sid'

Sid: 'what is it that you're hiding under your desk?'

Monalika: 'a tape… I recorded all that you said… there are so many things you just said… they're difficult to remember… and well… too difficult to write down either considering the pace at which you speak'

Sid: 'good thinking… I'm in my cabin… I want the details… you have 15 minutes… by the way… you're looking very pretty today'

Saying this Sid walked into his private office… leaving a confused Monalika behind…. Later that day, Monalika talked about Sid to a co worker…

Monalika: I've been working with him for two years now… he's a strange guy… seems really bossy… engrossed in his work too… yet has a kind word for everyone.

Anjali: naw… Sid's a nerd…

Monalika (defensively): No he's not… what do you know about Sid? I've been with him 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for the last 2 years… he's a great guy… it's just that he's a bit moody…

Anjali: hmmm… bara confidence hai aap ko apney 'Sid' pey… maan lo babes… you love him…

Monalika: shhh… that's my secret… Sid sirf mera hai… (crooked smile)

JWB Marriot Hotel: Mumbai 01:00 p.m.

THE PARTY

Khushi meets Neha & Pratab… both Neha & Pratab exchange knowing glances… they know she's the one Sid would say yes for…

Akash: Sidhant kahan hai…?

Neha: abhi bulati hoon…

Neha goes to bring Sid, and Pratab in the meanwhile introduces Khushi to the rest of the family…. Khushi is the same age as Niki and they're childhood buddies… Khushi also shares a rapport with Sam & Varun… she doesn't remember Sid that much though because he had left for America at the age of 14 only, and Khushi had been 10 at that time… when Sid had come back to India after 11 years, Khushi had left for the United Kingdom to do MBA, and they had not met therefore.

Sid: (to Akash & Nandani) namaste uncle… auntie…. Kasiay hain aap log?

Akash: bas theek… aur tum?

Sid: acha hoon…

Nandani: array Khushi kahan hai?

Sam: ussey Niki apney saath ley gayee… itnay saloon baad milein hain… God! They're chattering like grannies!

Nandani: oh..ho… aa.. Sidhant beta… tumhe Khushi to yaad hai naa?

Sid: ji auntie… when is she coming back?

Nandani (surprised): tumhe nahiin pata? (looks at Neha)

Neha: Sid… kya hogaya hay tumhe? Kaam ke siva kuch yaad nahiin rehta issey… kaha to tha Khushi aa rahi hai… she's come back… voh Niki kay room main hai… go say hi… aur un doonon ko nichay bula lo…

Sid goes…

Neha: ye larka bhi naa… I'm really worried… kaam ke siva kuch yaad nahi rehta issey….

Sid enters Neha's room… he doesn't know what Niki has worn that day, and finding one girl in the room… Khushi… he mistakes her for being Niki… quietly… slowly… he walks up to her… she has her back towards him… he has a glass of water in his hand… he throws it on her face…

Sid: gotcha!!!

Khushi is shocked… it takes a while to digest what has happened… somebody just threw a glass of cold water on her face…

Sid: ab pata chala??? Mujh pe pani phekha tha naa?…. serves you right!

Khushi turns… she's really very angry…. Sid looks at her for the first time in 13 years… doesn't recognize her… but he thinks she's really very beautiful… he gives her an apologizing smile… she does not return it… she's glaring at him…

Sid: I'm sorry… mujhey laga aap Niki hain… waisey on second thoughts galti aap ki hi hai…

Khushi: Pardon me… but meri galti kaisay?

Sid: Dekho… pehley to tum Niki kay room main aati ho… then you pretend to be Niki aur…

Khushi: Excuse me… I didn't pretend that I'm Niki… sharam to aap ko aani chaheyay… kisi larki kay kamrey main aa kar us par… anyways… main badtameezon se baat nahiin karti… please leave…

She takes a towel….

Sid: (mock laugh) who are you to…

Khushi: I said out!!!

Just then Niki enters…

Niki: bhaiya… aap yahan?? Koi kaam tha kya?

Khushi (surprised): bhaiya??

Niki: haan… nahi pehchana? Bhaiya… aap ney to issey pehchana hi hoga ye…

Sam calls her… urgent hai….

Niki: guess aap dono ney aik dosray ko nahiin pehchana… okay… you introduce each other to yourselves… I gotta go…

Sid: look… galti meri thi… I'm sorry… I honestly didn't mean it… main samjha aap Niki ho… (his eyes tell how sincere he is… Khushi's anger melts away…)

Khushi: It's okay… hi… Khushi… (extends her hand)

Sid: (shakes it) oh… so you're the UK bird… Sidhant… but friends key liyay… Sid…

They smile at each other…

Sid: by the way… main to bhool hi gaya… main yahan kyun aaya thaa…?…. (tries to remember, but can't)

Khushi looks at his face… and says…

Khushi: shaayad is leyay ki mujhe aur Niki ko sab neechay bula rahey hain?

Sid (surprised): that's it… tum ne kaisay guess kiya?

Khushi: bas yunhi… chalen? Sab wait kar rahey hoon gay…

They go down together… their parents see them coming together… they exchange smiles…

Pratab: lagta hai our plan's started working…

It's dance time… kuch fast hojayay??? Everyone starts dancing to 'Kaal Dhamaal' Sid sees Khushi standing in a corner… he is attracted to her… goes towards her to ask her for a dance… but somebody stops him… it's…

Monalika: Hi Sid! Great party….

Sid: Thanks…

Monalika: I love this song… chalo… let's dance…

Sid follows her to the dance floor… unwillingly… they start dancing… Monalika gets closer to him… she's almost necking… Khushi notices them… Sid has his back towards her, but she'll recognize him anywhere… she feels a pang of jealousy… wonders why… she figures that even Sid is not easy with the girl, so approaches him…

Khushi: Excuse me… Sid… mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai… will you…?

Sid: haan… I'll be back Monalika…

They go to the terrace… full-moon… clear sky… it's a very romantic night… now that Khushi had actually made the excuse, she doesn't know what to talk about… whereas Sid waits up impatiently for her to start. She doesn't…

Sid: Khushi… tum kuch kehne waali thi naa?

Khushi: ahh… voh.. voh.. voh main… main bhool gayee…

Sid: bhool gayee? (raises his eyebrows in surprise)

Khushi: I'm sorry…

Sid: It's okay…

Khushi wonders why she did this… 'jo bhi ho' she thinks… 'I want him to stay'

Khushi: kitni suhaanee raat hai na Sid? Just look at the moon… it's beautiful…

Sid looks at the moon… some negative images flash in his head… then a girl's voice saying : 'kitni suhaanee raat hai na Sid? Just look at the moon… it's beautiful…' He looks at Khushi… she is surprised to see pain in his eyes… he just looks at her…

Khushi: kya hua Sid? Kya main…

She is not able to finish… he just walks off… Khushi is disturbed… 'aisa kya kaha main ne? voh aankhein kitna dard tha un main… kya baat ho sakti hai?'

Sid enters his room… does not bother to switch on the lights… closes the door behind him and sits on the easy chair… deep in thought… us ke kaanon main aik hi sentence goonjh raha hota hai…

'kitni suhaanee raat hai'

'kitni suhaanee raat hai'

'kitni suhaanee raat hai'

'kitni suhaanee raat hai'

'kitni suhaanee raat hai'

He tries to shut his ears… finally the voice stops… he is soaked with perspiration… he walks towards the bed… opens the bedside lamp & drawer… takes two anti- depressant pills and goes back to his easy chair… it's only a matter of time before he falls into deep deep sleep… and even in his dream he sees a girl saying:

'kitni suhaanee raat hai' and then hears a crash then blood splattered all over his white Polo tee shirt… a bloody body… and tosses un-comfortably in his sleep.

In the meanwhile Khushi had been looking all over for him… finally the cake is cut… then dinner… everyone leaves… Khushi is not able to sleep that night… she writes her diary and this is what she wrote after she returned from the Singhania House:

'aaj mujhe voh mil gaya… my dream man… I know ki agar main kisi kay liyee banai gayee hoon to voh Sidhant hai… I know I love him… par us ne meri iss baat par itna strange kyun react kya? Kitna dard tha un aankhon main… kitni takleef thi… Sid is a winner… that is for sure… par kyun un aankhon main mujhe aik hara hua… bezaar insaan dikhai diya? Kaash… kaash ki main us ka har dard apna sakon… kaash ki voh bhi meray barey main aisa he sochta ho…'

PART#2

The next day. Singhania House. 07:30 a.m.

The Singhania's are having breakfast… Sid is very quiet… Pratab & Neha know that something is wrong with him… they can sense it… and they want to help him. After the breakfast, Neha wants to talk to him, but Sid just leaves for the office. Pratab assures her that he will talk to him.

AT THE OFFICE…

Sid is in his cabin… busy with a mountain of files, and CD's… there is a five page booklet on his desk as a reminder of the day's schedule… there is a knock…

Sid: come in

Pratab enters…

Sid: arey… dad aap… since when did you have to knock? Anyways… kahey kuch kaam hai…

Pratab: haan… (sits) voh 'Holderness Emporium' ka contract to yaad hai na?

Sid: voh contract jo ham Malhotra Group key saath handle kar rahey hain? What about it?

Pratab: haan vohi… start working on it… is ka sara kaam hamarey office main hoga… aur Malhotra's ki taraf sey Khushi issey handle karey gi… she'll be coming at 09:00… her cabin is arranged… aur executive common room bhi ready… I believe that'll you'll be using it most of the time kyunki tum doonon saath main kaam karo gey…

Sid: ji dad….

Pratab leaves… Sid buzzes Monalika and asks her to send in the details of the 'Holderness Emporium' contract… and to cancel all other work and send it to Varun & Dheraj as he'll be busy with that meeting… it's 08:45… Sid waits for Khushi to arrive… 'main ussey keh doon ga ki us key saath kaam nahiin karsakta… par kya excuse doon ga us ko main?' he cannot answer his own question…

08:50

09:00- no Khushi…

09:10- Khushi still hasn't come…

09:20- Sid: 'maybe even she does not want to work with me aur us ne Ajay aur Akash uncle ko ye baat keh di hai… chalo acha hai…' he bussies himself with the work…

09:45- there is a knock on Sid's cabin door… he does not look up… and says: 'come in' enters Khushi… in a dazzling yellow salwar kameez…

Khushi: 'Hi Sidhant… aaj se ham saath kaam karen gey voh…'

Sid: you are 45 minutes late… and Khushi… time is of the essence…

Continues working… not even asks her to sit… well… Khushi seats herself…

Khushi: 'sorry… voh actually first day tha naa… isleay zara nervous thi… this won't happens again

Sid buzzes Monalika… she enters… looks crookedly at Khushi… flashes a toothy grin at Sid…

Monalika: sir… aap ney bulaya?

Monalika: ji…

Khushi: Sid… Khushi here… I want to see you in the executive common room in 15 minutes… don't be late beause… time… is of the essence… (laughs & hangs up without listening to his reply)

Sid enters the common room… Khushi is seated there on a table for two… it is a round desk with two chairs… Sid sits on the other chair…

Sid: kya hua?

Khushi: this is not fair Sid… kal tak ham doost they… phir tum achanak chaley gaey… mujhe kaha bhi nahiin ki baat kya hai… aur aaj office main… mera first day… itna bara project… you should be helping me… how will I manage? I need you yaar!

Sids looks at her and a voice in his head saying: 'kya Sid! This is not fair… itna difficult course hai… you should be helping me… how will I manage? I need you yaar!' Sid's expressions change…

Sid: main tumharey saath kaam nahiin karna chahta… I hate amateurs… kaam nahi aata to office kyun aai… go somewhere else…

Khushi is first surprised… then angry…

Khushi: Mr. Sidhant Singhania… urf Sid… urf… I'm so intelligent… main yahan apni marzi se nahiin aayee hoon… I've been sent here… remember… Malhotra aur Singhania Group is project to mil kar handle kar rahey hain… aur mujhe papa ney yahan bheja hai… acha hai… even I didn't want to work here… you just gave me the opportunity I wanted… I'm out of here…

Says this she walks out of the room… Sid is surprised with his own attitude… 'main ney us sey aisa kyu kaha? oh God! Dad's going to blow up… aur phir meray saath jo hua is main Khushi ki kya galti? So why am I over reacting?' He's deep in thought… about half an hour later and a great deal of thought, he goes to the Malhotra Group of Industries head office… asks to see Akash…

Akash: arey Sid… aao beta… kaisay aana hua?

Sid: uncle voh Khushi…

Akash: arey voh bohot moody hai… don't worry Ajay hay naa… voh handle karleyga….

Sid: uncle Khushi kahan hai?

Akash: vo ghar chali gayee…

Sid: theek hai uncle main bhi chalta hoon…

Sid decides to go to Malhotra House…

Bobby: yes… who is it…? Who do want to see?

Sid: ahh… voh main…

Bobby: oh… you've come from Ekta's house right? Such a fine lady… I love her… you're lucky to have her… waisey… tum khud bhi handsome ho… (winks)

Sid: (uncomfortable with Bobby… gets angry) excuse me… Ekta meray ghar main bai hai… main us key leay nahiin voh meray leay kaam karti hai… Khushi kahan hai?

Booby: (winks again laughs) naughty boy! Khushi apney room main hai… come I'll take you…

Sid… goes in Khushi's room… she is lying on the bed crying… Khushi had been thinking: 'kya mujhe galat laga? Nahiin… I really love him… phir voh aisa kyu hai…'

Sid clears his throat to attain attention…

Khushi: tum? Yahan? How dare you enter my room like this? Dekho tum papa key best friend key betay ho is ka ye matlab ye nahiin ki main tumhari har baat yun hi bardaasht karon… Out!… I said get out….

Sid: Khushi… meri baat suno… main tumhe…

Khushi: don't you dare take my name… get out now.. is se pehle ki main security…

Sid closes her mouth with his hand… and pushes her to the wall…

Sid: (his voice is a mere whisper… a dangerously determined whisper) chup! Bilkul chup… mana ki main ne tumharey saath badtameezi ki… magar us ki bhi koi wajah rahi hogi ye socha nahiin tumne? Mana ke galti tumhari nahiin… bas… baat hi kuch aisi thee… I'm sorry Khushi… I'm really very sorry… dekho ab zid mat karna… meray saath office chalo… bohot kaam pending hai…

Khushi again sees the similar pain in his eyes… knows that now she has an upper hand and can ask him…

Khushi: aik shart pay… you have to tell me… kal aur aaj dono bar main ne tumharee aankhon main voh dard takleef dekhi… tum aisi baton par baras parey jis par meri galti nahiin thi… you've been going through a lot Sid… I wanna know what it is…

Sid: Khushi… main tumhara gari main wait karaha hoon… tumhe office chalna chaho to neechay aajana… 20 minute main…

He leaves… Khushi is worried… she wants to help him but can't… she's depressed…

Will she go to the office? And will Sid tell her his probem? Watch out….

PART#3

Well… Khushi accompanies him to the office… on the way, she again tries to get something out of him… Sid gets exasperated and asks the driver to stop the car. Khushi opens the door and starts getting down, thinking this is why Sid asked the driver to stop the car.

Sid: ab tum kahan chalein?

Khushi: aapko kehnay ki zarorat nahiin hai… main jaanti hoon aap mujhe utarne ko kehnay walay they... well… I'm saving you the trouble.

Sid: agar gaari se baher utarne ki koshish ki to mujh se bura koi nahiin hoga… darwaza band karo… (to the driver) mujhe kuch kaam hai… tum madam ko ley kar office jao… main aajaon ga…

Khushi: Sidhant… kahan ja rahey hain?

Sid: bas kuch kaam hai… don't worry… it won't take long… I'll join you at the office…

He goes…

Khushi reaches the office…

Khushi: Monalika, I'm in the Executive Common Room, Sidhant jab aajean to unhein bheaj dena…

Monalika: lekin voh to 15 minute pehley yahan aagayey…

Khushi (surprised): kahan hain?

Monalika: office kitchen main… (scornfully)

Khushi: WHAT???

Monalika: of course apney cabin main hoon gay naa… whatever happened to common sense???

Khushi starts to say something sharp, but decides against it… she enters Sid's cabin… confronts him angrily…

Khushi: mujhe laga aap ko koi kaam tha??

Sid: betho… and listen to me very carefully… Khushi main apney office main kissi tarha ka bhi nonsense nahiin bardaasht karon ga… I come here to work and not to indulge in chitty chats… and I expect you to work too… Monday to Saturday… subhah 8 bajay, office aajana… be prepared to work more than 8:00 p.m. aur no masti… this is the only way we can work together… projector pey kuch analysis slides hain… I'll put them on now… make notes regarding them… phir in CD's main kuch vendor profiles hain… inko short list karo… positives aur negatives mark out karo… aaj shaam 6 bajey tumhari Mr. Desai key saath meeting hai… voh tumhe is project ki details samjha dein gey…

They spend the rest of the day working… it's 09:30 p.m. almost all the office staff has left… Sid is working in his cabin… he gets a call from Neha…

Sid: ji mom…

Neha: Khushi kahan hai?

Sid: matlab?

Neha: Sid voh ghar nahin aai hai… Akash bhai saheb aur Nandani bhabhi bohot pareshaan hain… unhoon ney bataya ki tum se kuch jhagra hua tha… aur Khushi ghar chali gayee… but she's not at home…

Sid: kya us ne ghar waloon ko inform nahiin kya? (he surprised)

Neha: matlab…?

Sid: Mom voh to subhah se office main hai… chali gayee thi lekin main wapas ley aaya…

Neha: Thank God! Ab ussey ghar drop kardo… aur daantna mat…

Sid: ji mom…

He is very angry… 'Khushi is so irresponsible'… Neha on the other hand tells the good news to everyone, and they are happy that 'Sid Khushi ko mananey ghar tak gaya' Sid storms into Khushi's cabin… she is tired but working as she is determined to please Sidhant.

Sid: irresponsible honey ki bhi had hoti hai…

Khushi: kya hua?

Sid: (repeats her sentence in a petulant manner)… kya hua?… tum yahan aagee kisi ko bataay beghair… aur I had to face my mom's wrath… sab kitne pareshaan they kuch maloom hai? whatever is wrong with you?

He goes on scolding her for another 15 minutes… does not give her a chance to speak & then

Sid: chalo, I'll drop you home.

Once in the car, Sid phir sey shoro hojata hai… 20 minute tak ussey daanta rehta hai… then looks at her, Khushi is crying…

Sid: ronaa to mujhe chahye… tumhari waja se mujhe bhala bura sunna parey gaa ghar ja kar…

Rains seem to love Rajeev & Aamna… it's time to thank them.

It starts raining… and Khushi stops crying… she's in a good mood as she loves rains… even Sid's in a good mood now… it starts raining heavily… Sid is driving…

Khushi: (takes her hand out of the window… feels rain on her hand) I love rains…

Sid hears a voice in his head saying…

'I love rains'

'I love rains'

'I love rains'

Then she hears her say: 'Sidhant tum raat ko yahan ruk saktey ho? I have a feeling ki kuch bura honey wala hai… ruk jao… ruk jao… ruk jao…' Then he hears the telephone ring, a woman on the line: 'I need you here… khatra… jaldi…' the line drops dead… then a body so bloody that it's hard to tell who it is… a crash… Sid ko paseena aa raha hai… he swerves the car frantically shouts 'NAHIIN'… the car goes downhill Khushi is frantic.

Khushi: Sidhant… gari control karen… kya hua?? Kya hua??

Sidhant is jolted back to reality… too late… the car is going downhill… 'God… I can't let her die because of my foolishness… one murder on my hands is enough for a lifetime' It takes a nanosecond for Sid to decide… he opens the car door he pushes Khushi out of the car & jumps behind her… the car falls… and then there is a blast… everything goes black…

HOSPITAL IN MUMBAI 02:30 a.m.

Sid wakes up at a hospital… he thinks about Khushi… 'pata nahii kya hua' The on duty nurse sees him awake, she rushes to call the doctor.

Doctor after examining Sidhant.

Doctor: main aap ka doctor incharge hoon. Mera naam Anil Anand hai… aap lucky hain ki survive kar gaey… you're out of danger… bohot bura accident tha…

Sid: meray saath… (it's difficult to speak)… voh… voh Khushi…

Doctor: I'm sorry…

PART#4

Sid is shocked: kya matlab sorry? (he's shouting)

Doctor: abhi kuch nahi kaha jasakta… she has a lot of injuries… it's difficult to save her… abhi un ka operation chal raha hai…

The doctor goes… in comes the family… Neha & Niki are crying… Sam's eyes are red… Varun is also depressed… Pratab is trying to hide his tears… the Malhotra's are also there…

Sid (to Nandani): I'm sorry auntie… sab meri galti hai…

Nandani is crying: nahi beta… honi ko kon taal sakta hai? aur bearish bhi itni teez thi…

There are emotional moments… then the doctor tells everyone to leave.

Sid is given a sedative and drifts into deep deep sleep.

Next Day. 12:30 p.m.

Sid wakes up… he still feels drowsy as the effects of the sedative have not worn out completely…

He buzzes for the nurse…

Sid: merey saath jo thi ab kaisey hain…

Nurse: abhi kuch nahiin keh saktey… operation to hogaya hai but she is in the ICU under strict observation haan lekin aap key liyay aik good news hai… doctor aap ko aaj shaam discharge kar dengey… bas ye aap ke left hand ka fracture hi to hai… 1 maheney baad bandage khul jaey ga… main doctor ko bulati hoon.

Sid is not at all happy, even more depressed after meeting the doc, who tells him that Khushi's chances of survival are almost nil.

07:30 p.m.

Sid is discharged. Varun & Sam have come to take him home. Sid asks the doctor to let him see Khushi.

Doctor: Sorry, aisa possible nahiin hai… voh under strict observation hain… no one is allowed to see her… aur waisey bhi… she is in coma…

Sid is shocked… he hadn't known that… he goes home depressed… nothing can improve his mood… he keeps repeating the scene in his head… 'kaash agar main us waqt khud pey qaboo rakh pata…' then, 'kaash main ussey akeley hi ghar jaaney ko kehdeta'… then 'mujhe driver ko chuti nahiin deni chaheye thi' then… 'mujhe Khushi ko ghar lenay nahiin jana chahye tha…' nobody and nothing can improve his mood. He keeps himself locked up in his room… dektey dekhtey… two weeks pass…

One day Neha comes to talk to him.

Neha: Sid, aisa kab tak chaley ga? Jo hua tumhari galti nahiin thi…

Neha: tum kyu apney aap ko saza dey rahey ho?

Sid thinks: kaash main aapko sach kehney ki himmat juta pata…

Sid: mom galti meri hai… mujhe prashchit karna hai… pata hai kaisey?

Neha: wait for Khushi to recover… tumhara prashchit mujhe maloom hai…

Just then Niki storms into the room…

Niki: mummy… bhaiya… guess what??? Khushi ko finally hosh agaya hai… the doctor says there is a lot of improvement… aur unhein ab yaqeen hai kuch hafton main Khushi discharge ho jayey gi… isn't that great???

Both Sid & Neha are very happy… Sid says a silent prayer of thanks.

Neha: ham abhi ussey mil kar aatey hain…

Niki: no mummy… not possible… visitors ka time khatam hochuka hai… aap kal hi jasakeen gey… gotta go, kal mera Anatomy ka exam hai…

After Niki leaves… Neha turns towards Sid…

Neha: tum parashchit karna chahte ho? (Sid nods)… okay… shaadi karlo…

Sid: mom… isse mera parashchit kesay hoga?

Neha: let me finish Sid… tum Khushi sey shaadi karo…

Sid: WHAT???

Neha: is main WHAT jaisee kya baat hai… dekhpo aaj nahiin to kal tumko shadi to karni hai… aur tumhari zindagi main koi larki nahiin hai… Khushi likes you… or let me be frank… voh tum se pyaar karti hai… to tumhara prashchit ye hoga ki tum Khushi ko us ki zindagi ki sabse bari khushi de do… dil se ussey apna lo… Sid… beta… trust me… she is perfect for you… think about it…

She leaves but there is a battle going on inside Sid… one part of him tells him to marry Khushi… thinking 'agar ye uski marzi hai ho to mujhe pechay nahii hatna chahye' the other part tells him, 'par usse sachai nahi chupaa sakta… kehne ki himmat nahii rakhta ki tum jissey apna jevan saathi banana chahti ho… voh aik… aik… khuuni hai.,. I'm a murderer…' with that thought… he decides that he'll say no to Neha… 'main Khushi ki zindagi nahiin barbaad karsakta'

Sid gets up late in the morning… Neha has left for the hospital… Sid decides to visit Khushi first… check out on her health and thinks: 'uske baad main seedha hospital ja kar mom ko keh doonga ki vih kuch bhi karke inkaar kardein…'

Sid buys two dozen white roses & goes to visit Khushi… she's all alone in the hospital…

Khushi: main ney to sab ko saaf saaf keh diya… merey vajah sey koi apna work schedule nahiin kharaab kareyga… kaisey hain aap?

Sid: main theek hoon… (a pause)… I'm sorry Khushi… meri wajah sey tumhe… agar tumhe kuch hojata… I'd never be able to forgive myself.

Khushi: aap ki galti nahiin thi… Sidhant main aap sey kuch baat karna chahti hoon… it's important…

Sid: bolo…

Khushi: aap jaante hain naa ki hamari shaadi ki baat chal rahi hai… before you say anything about it… ya koi faisla Karen main aapko ye batana chahti hoon ki main aapko pasand karti hoon… main jaanti hoon aapka past raha hoga… but trust me… I don't want to hear about it… and I don't care what's in there… aap mera present aur future doonoo ho… main bas itna jaanti hoon ki agar meri kabhi kisi se shaadi hogi to voh aap ho…

Sid (is very much confused… he does not know what to say… to himself): mujhe kuch bhi karkey Khushi ko convince karna hoga ki vih is shadi se inkaar kar dey… par kaisey???

To Khushi: dekho… tum jald baazi main faisla kar rahi ro… Khushi tum aik bohot achi larki ho… tumhare saath jo bhi shaadi karey ga bohot lucky hoga… but as you just said… mera aik past hai… jis key barey main main kisi ko nahiin bata sakta… and trust me.. it's terrible…

Khushi: I don't care… agar aap is wajah sey mana karrehey hain… to I won't take no for an answer.

Sid: mujhe sochnay key liye kuch waqt chaheye…

Khushi: main apni puri zindagi aap key naam kar chuki hoon… aur jitna bhi waqt chaheye le len…

Sid: umm… mujhe ab chalna chahye… office main kaafi kaam pending hai…

Khushi: lekin aap is tarha office jaen gey? (she is talking about his plastered hand… concerned look on her face)

Sid: ye to abhi 2 haftey aur bandha rahey ga, I don't intend to sit home all this time… bye…

He goes. On the way to the office… Sid is thinking… thinking… thinking… he thinks all day long… in the evening, when he comes back home he goes to Neha.

Sid: mom, main Khushi se shaadi nahiin karsakta.

PART#5

Neha: but why?

Sid: mom… main shaadi nahiin karna chahta…

Neha: aisa nahiin hosakta… agar Khushi nahiin to koi aur sahi… but ab tumhari shaadi hokar hi rahey gi…

Sid: dad aap hi mom ko samjhaen…

Pratab: kya samjhaaon? I agree with Neha… aur tumhein maloom hai when I was your age, I was married and a father too…

Sid: iska ye matlab to nahiin ki main shaadi karon sirf is leyie…

Neha, Pratab aur Sid ke beech agley 1 ghantey tak arguments hotey rehte hain…

Sid: theek hai… agar aap log yehi chahtey hain to yehi sahi… Akash uncle aur Nandani auntie se baat karlein…

Neha & Pratab are very happy but Sid goes away thinking 'Khushi ki zindagi barbaad honey jarahi hai… lekin is a zimedaar main nahiin… mom & dad hongey'

Pratab calls Akash.

Pratab: shaadi tayariyan shuro Karen?

Akash: matlab Sidhant ki taraf sey haan hai?

Pratab: aur nahiin to kya… he's damned lucky ki ussey Khushi jaisii patni mil rahi hai… Khushi do haftey baad discharge ho jaey gi naa? Bas tab hi Pandit ji ko bula kar shaadi ka mahurat nikalwa len gey… kal ham tumharey yahan aa rahey hain shagun ley kar…

Akash: haan haan kyu nahii ab tum to larkey waley ho… jab chaho aa jao…

They hang up…

Akash goes into the hall…

Akash: bhaee Akshay ka mood tha kuch desert khaney ka… main muh meethaa karney ki wajah doon?

Nandani: kiya baat hai? aap bohot khush lag rahey hain…

Akash: arey baat hi aisi hai… pehley sab ko bula to lo… (calls out) AJAY… GAURI… AKSHAY… ANITA… jaldi aao sab…

Everyone comes…

Ajay: kya baat hai dad? Sab theek to hai…

Akash: theek? Nothing better then what I'm about to tell you… Khushi ki shaadi tey hogayee hai Sidhant key saath…

Akshay: wow, great news…

Gauri: this calls for a celebration…

Anita: they make a rocking jodi!!!

There is a celebration at the Malhotra House… and the Singhania House too.

The only ones who are not happy are Chetan & Paddy….

Paddy: damn it…. Pratab aur Neha ney bohot lambi chaal chali hai… Sidhant 1/3 rd Malhotra Group ka maalik ban jaey ga… aur Singhania Group ki chairmanship bhi ussey hi milay gi…

Chetan: not fair… why should he get things on a platter?

Paddy: well, do something…

Chetan: don't worry mom… do haftey baad Khushi hospital sey discharge horahi hai… this is an arranged marriage… aap dekhti reh jaaen gi kaisay Khushi meray pyaar main pagal ho jaey gi… aur Sid key saath shaadi karne sey inkaar karde gi… just see what I do… waisey bhi… aapko to maloom hai larkiyan mujh pe marti hain…

Paddy: great… phir Khushi se shaadi karke tum Akash ko pressureize karke Malhotra Group ki chairmanship hatiya sako gey… aur phir ussey mohre key tor par use karke Singhania Group par gabza karlo gey… but if I support you… to mujhe kiya miley ga?

Chetan: mmm… 100 crore ropey… 10% of Malhotra Group and 10% of Singhania Group…

Paddy: it's a deal…

Varun hears them… he is disgusted… he thinks: 'bhai to girey hoey hain… but mom itna kaisey gir sakti hai?… chairmanship to Sid bhaiya ka right hai kyunki abhi barey papa chairman hain aur un key baad Sid bhaiya hoongey kyunki voh unke barey betay hain… aur phir business ka sara bojh unkey kaandhon par hai… bhai to sirf formality puri karne key liye office jatey hain… I have to do something'

He calls Anjali, Sam & Niki in his room… he tells them everything and says: ab hamein hi kuch karna hoga

Niki: Chetan's always been like this… but Paddy chachi… voh aisa kaisey karsakti hain?

Anjali & Varun are embarrassed… Anjali: you know mom,,, paisa comes first for her…

Varun (senses that his cousins are not at ease): let's forget all that… sochna ye hai ki… ab kya kiya jaey? Ham kya karsakte hain… Big B to ghussay key teez hain… unhein kuch nahiin kaha jasakta… chachu, mom aur dad ko bhi tension nahiin deni chahye…. To ham kya karen?

Varun: idea… ham Khushi ko sab bata dein gey… bhai ussey hi apna target bananey wala hai… we have to tell her everything… kal subhah first thing ham charon ja kar ussey sab bata dein gey…

Niki: good idea…

Anjali: yeah… I'm on bro! Sid bhaiya key liye kuch bhi…

Varun (to Anjali): you can say that again…

THE NEXT MORNING… all of them go to visit Khushi… she has been shifted to a room…

Khushi: Hi! Tum sab… nice to see you…

Niki: hamein tumse kuch baat karni hai Khushi…

Khushi: kya baat hai? tum sab kafi serious lag rahe ho…

They tell her… Khushi is shocked

Khushi: that asshole! Us ney aisa socha bhi kaisey? But thanks for telling me… don't worry… I know how to handle monsters like him…

Anjali: be careful Khushi… he's more than a monster…

They warn her more… inquire about her health, tease her about being 'bhabhiji' tell her that Sid was so worried about her…
and go…

Later that day… Chetan comes…

Chetan: Khushi… (there are fake tears in his eyes) tum… kaisi ho?

Khushi is about to reply… but there is a knock on the door… guess who's there??? It's somebody who's gonna make Chetan furious as hell… here's a description…

Aligator shoes… Don Pedro suiting… grey suit… blue silk Vettori shirt… Caesar (Italian) silk blue tie… a Rolex compatriot watch… Montex cuffs… and atleast four dozen white roses in his hand… he's also brought chocolates- the finest… Swiss… then Cadbury's poached assortments… and other mouth watering candies… He's…

I had written 5 parts of the story... at the end of part 5, I asked who the guy is... all of you guessed it right... it's Sujal (formerly Sid- Sidhant)

I am now posting part 6...

ENJOY...

PART# 6

Well that guy is none other than Sujal… Kashish's face breaks into big smile when she sees him… Chetan curses is stars…

There is a mock smile on Sujal's face when he turns to look at Chetan…

Chetan: uhh… Kashish… mujhe bohot kaam hai… main chalta hoon… ye phool tumhare liyay hain…

He gives her a bunch of red roses and goes… Kashish is very angry she throws the roses… Sujal shakes his head… he picks up the roses… and hands them over to Kashish…

Sujal: buri baat… phool bohot nazuk hotey hain… aur jo hua is main in ki kia galti?

Kashish: aap wajah nahii jantey…

Sujal: jaanta hoon…

Kashish (surprised): kiya jaante hain? (she wants to see how much he knows)

Sujal: yehi ki Chetan tumhare saath flirt kar raha tha… par voh aisa hi hai… har larki key saath, ignore him

Kashish thinks: Sujal bhi kitney innocent hain…

Khushi: lekin aap ko ghussa nahii aya?

Sujal: I trust you…

He gives her the flowers and chocolates…

Kashish: thanks… (she's over whelmed as Sujal had said that he trusts her)

Sujal: you're welcome… Kashish… kya tum ab bhi?…

Kashish: aap ye shaadi nahii karna chahte to haan kyu ki?

Sujal: aisi baat nahiin main… voh actually… (he doesn't know what to say)

Kashish: to phir kya baat hai? theek hai… main is shaadi se inkaar kar doon gi… aik shart hai magar… you'll have to tell me what's bugging you…

Sujal: (after thinking a bit) theek hai… trust me Kashish… this is for your own good…. tum hospital sey discharge hojao phir bata doon ga… promise

He goes… Kashish is in tears…

Okay… I know you guys don't like it when the stories are fast forwarded… but please bear with this if you want to know Sujal's problem.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Kashish is discharged from the hospital. The doctor tells her to take rest but that she can go on doing light work… that not too much taxing physically.

Kashish is at home… she thinks… 'agar main ney Sujal ki baat jaanni haoi to office jana hoga'

She informs Nandani that she'll be going to the office.

Kashish: mummy main kal sey office jaon gi…

Nandani: pagal hogayee ho kya? Abhi hospital sey aai ho…

Kashish: mamma doctor ney bhi kaha ki main light kaam karsakti hoon…aur project ka kitna kaam pending hoga…

Akash: tum pareshaan mat ho… Ajay sab dekh raha hai…

Kashish (angry): papa voh mera project hai… I'll handle it… main kal office ja rahi hoon…

THE NEXT DAY. SINGHANIA GROUP OF INDUSTRIES HEAD OFFICE 08:00 a.m.

Kashish enters Sujal's cabin. He has just arrived.

Kashish: Hi… am I on time?

Sujal: tum? Tum kal hi to discharge hui thi naa… phir aaj office main?

Kashish: (sits down) to reasons… aik, kaam pending hoga… doosri, agar mujhe shaadi se inkaar karna hai, to aapki reason bhi to sunni hogi naa… aur main… aaj hi sunna chahti hoon.

Sujal: sure… lekin… it's a long story… aur mujhe bohot kaam hai… aaj kaam karte hain… kal baat Karen gey.. okay?

Kashish: not okay… main aaj aur abhi sunna chahti hoon…

Sujal: (sighs- and sits on his chair) theek hai… sunna hi chahti ho to suno… ye tab ki baat hai jab main America main tha…
