Love Of A Lifetime
Next day Parvati is in her cabin at her college, holding her head. Darn! This headache! Her dislike for alcohol grew more now suffering from the hangover. Anyway her main concern is how to initiate talks with Suyash? She does remember everything about the last night, and feels embarrassed. How will she face him? In a way she is glad too, at least in her tipsy state she was able to convey her feelings to him which would be hard to do so in her consciousness.
Meanwhile Suyash is in his office, reading a file related to some business project and his mind wanders back to last night's moments with Parvati. A small smile curves his lips recollecting those moments when Parvati hugged him in the bathroom, their talks about eloping, wedding gift ring and her sweet kisses. He chuckles softly he never knew she would be so adorable in the tipsy state. He wonders whether Narayani knows Parvati is aware of their truth? Maybe she doesn't, otherwise she would have informed him about it, his thoughts are interrupted by the ringtone of his mobile. He sees Parvati's phone call and receives it.
"Ab aap ki tabiyat kaisi hai, Parvati ji?" He asks.
The concern in his voice makes her heart happy, and she replies, "main theek hoon, Mr.Mehra, lekin yeh sir dard kam hone ka naam nahi leraha hai."
"Hangover mein aisa hi hota hai." He chuckles.
She feels embarrassed.
He senses her hesitation and asks, "aap kuch kehna chahti hai?"
"Ji, kya hum milsakte hai?" She says.
"Abhi?"
She smiles hearing his surprised voice, and says, "nahi, aaj raat ko nau baje. Main aap ko address message kardungi."
His heart sinks, he desires to meet her right now, but alas! "Theek hai," he replies.
"Main aap ka intezaar karungi," Parvati says, and disconnects the call.
He smiles. It feels strange when she is behaving politely with him, but he had missed this sweet and kind Parvati, and it brings back old memories of their friendship.
Tere sang yaara
Khushrang bahara
Tu raat deewani
Main zard sitara
Later on, Parvati is in the kitchen of her new apartment which she bought recently. She looks at the kitchen counter, at the list of all the ingredients needed tonight to prepare Suyash's favourite dishes. She sighs looking at the raw chicken, she has always been a vegetarian but he does eat non vegetarian food.
"Mr.Mehra ne mere liye itna kuch kiya hai kya main unke liye yeh chicken nahi ban sakti?"
She convinces herself, and starts preparing food for the night.
After completing her cooking and arranging the table, she has a satisfactory smile on her lips. She wants to see him happy, enjoy the food without any worries. Today she wants to make him feel loved. She looks at the time, there's still enough time for her to get ready and hurries to her room.
When she steps out of her room, she hears the doorbell, and smiles at his punctuality. She chuckles realizing his habit of being on time has not changed even after so long.
She opens the door and smiles at him. "Aaiye, Mr.Mehra."
Suyash steps into the beautiful apartment, and notices her, she too looks beautiful in green saree, and her beautiful smile makes her prettier.
"Aap ki aadat aaj bhi nahi badli waqt pahunchne ki," she says and her smile does not leave her lips.
"Lekin aap badli badli lagrahi hai," Suyash says.
