Security : sir apko pata hai , woh amerika main bohot badi kam karta hai , Sab usko janata hai
Aman smiles
He learns how she has grown so much as person, how independent, matured she has become
Aman's vo : as I was waking back to my room listening to her achievements!! ,,I feel sense of .. regret!!! Yes  ,I am kinda regretting not telling her. The last time I saw or spoke to her was on 2012 .I would have been 28 at the time.. Flash forward 9 years later and out of the blue, I see her at Ayesha , my cousin's wedding . It brought back so many , much much memories of  her,  To be honest, she was one actually the main reason why I liked going to that job ,I sat in my bed left in thoughts
Note: so Ayesha Chaudhary , is Aman's cousin and ishan is Roshini brother they both are getting married,that's why Aman was here
Meanwhile all the meeting between the families happen which I don't want to exaggerate
Aman sees from his balcony ,,she was practising dance, happily  , for the function
Aman's vo: it was like. A rollacoster ,,A rollercoaster evokes strong feelings. When you think things are going well and you're riding the high, you're all the sudden hit with a huge drop that's terrifying and thrilling all at once.
It was time for the wedding ishan was sitting At the mandap
The priest : dulhan ko Lao
Ayesha comes walking with other girls and Roshini was one among them ,,, Aman was completely mesmerized by her
Aman's vo: Nd WOW how gorgeous is she ... . I mean she was quite cute  looking back then, but I really just liked her personality. BUT MY GOODNESS! She grew into such a beautiful woman.
The marriage was done , everyone bless the couple and most of the guests had left
Aman's VO :I really wanted to meet  her , talk to her and just pour my heart out to her. Tell her how I felt. But then I stopped and thought about it. 'This is her 9  years later. She might be a different person. She might think I'm mentally deranged if I said all that to her. 😶She might reject me and laugh at me'. So I never said  her anything and just didn't say or do anything.
At the night reception
Roshini was interacting with Ayesha , as she became a member of her family,
,Aman was asked to sing
Aman: (he doesn't forget to sing waiting for you ) 🎶 I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby ,You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go ,Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Roshini looks at him , they have eye contact
Roshini's mom: Roshini!!
Roshini:ji, Han
~~
Roshini was helping ayesha to change her dress
Roshini: ams ( murmurs)... I mean tumhare bhai kitne achche gati hai ,
Ayesha: haan..bhai bachpan se bohot achche
Gati hai , jab hum chote chote thi, woh hame
Aise he loree ga ke sula deti hai(laughs), unko bachchi bohot pasand hai
Roshini: unko nhi hai, i mean  unki family ko nhi dekha ..
Ayesha: Actually unki divorce ho chuki hai
Roshini( shocked as hell) kya..😵.
.I mm sorry
Ayesha: it's k bahar chalte hain
They go outside
Roshini looks at Aman with confusion...and despair
But holds herself back from saying anything
Next day night
Roshini's family was  preparing to leave for Mumbai
Aman was walking in the streets , some Roads away from their venue .,,
Suddenly a girl  from front crashes on him
Shouting ... aaahhhhh.. spilling ice cream all over his white shirt .. and hugging him tightly
So it was Roshini
Roshini ( hugging him): aaah save me
Aman ( dumbstruck ): 😳😳 surprised ...)
Rosh.. roshini .. Kya howa
Roshini ( points at the dog) woh kutha merai piche piche araha tha..
Aman smiles :( comforts her by hugging her back 🥰)
Aman's VO: it's like I want time to stop at here  ..so that i  can relish this moment for eternity... It brings a tremendous amount of satisfaction  .. No other thoughts matters to me  in this  moment... i  feel light on her feet and tend to hold her even tighter... There is no other greater pleasure than holding her ..
He chases the dog away
Roshini : thanks.. ufff ( sees his shirt ) oh no..😲 .. apke shirt😫 I'm sorry
Aman: koi baat nhi ..  it's an old shirt only ( lie)
Roshini looks at the shirt apologetic
Aman: main bol raha hun.na .. tum iss time main
Roshini:😅😅 actually maine sunha Lucknow ke special ice cream bohot yaary hai
Toh khana tha
Aman : at 1 am..😯😄
Roshini : haan..😅 kisko bina Batake aya tha
Aman's Vo: she never changed still is as mad .. crazy and childish .. secretly came at 1'o clock
To eat ice cream.. that too all by herself waking and then got chased by street dogs
Aman: Sirf ice cream.. didn't you taste Lucknow's special dishes...
Roshini nods in no ☹️
Aman :then come (There is a moment of silence ) if you would not like then..
Roshini: nhi nhi..
Aman: (smiles ) takes his bike ; Beto..
Roshini sits, and starts enjoying the beautiful view  , in few minutes, he stops
And it was a cave type of location..
Roshini : hum kahan aye hai..Are you sure yeh sehi jaga hai..
Aman: main lucknow ke ladka hun madam..
He takes her inside the cave it was a dhaba
Aman: this is the best place  in Lucknow..
Yahan se  achche khana kahi milta he nhi😃
Bhaiya Ek ..Nihari and Kulcha. Idris ki Biryani. ...chaat. ...Nimish. ...Sheermal...Aur Malai Makkhan... jaldi lekhaiye
Roshini as it him awestruck :
Aman: kya howa .. dukhan ke size se keemat ka faisla nhi karo.. bohot achche Jaga hai
Roshini: ( smiles )
They bring her the food and she couldn't control her mouth watering ... starts eating like she has seen food for the first time ..
Aman quietly admires her
Aman's Vo: I couldn't believe the girl I have been wanting to be near me is finally in front of my eyes ,, but the situation is unfortunate she will be leaving tomorrow
She looks at me ..
Aman: khao..( she smiles and eats )
Aman's vo: Hmm...scared? Scared . But exhilarating. Like I'm standing on the edge of a cliff and feeling the wind through my hair as I lean over it. But the feeling is similar.
She finishes eating and goes to wash her hands
Aman's vo: I watch her  from a far, admiring the way she  walks and the way her  hair ruffles in the wind, straining my ears for her  voice and peering out of the corners of my eyes for a subtle glimpse of her smiling face. I hide a secret, daring  hope that she will  turn and catch my eyes
Roshini: thanks .. amss.. ( he felt happy listening to that ) yeh food bohot tasty tha.. itne saal me kafi 5 star ..7 star .. hotels main kaya. .. per itni tasty nhi tha😊😊
Aman: shall we go
They ride back to the venue
Aman: so tumhare dream ke tarah .. you have actually become so successful ..
Roshini: smiles ..😀
( out of curiosity)
Roshini:  maine sunha he ki apke aur anita ne...
Aman: smiles painfully )hmm .. our paths in life had diverged too far and that we were simply formalizing the fact that we were no longer a couple
Roshini: I m sorry nhi puchana tha
Aman: no it's fine ,, hamen kabhee bhee chezon ko is tathy se nahin dekhana
chaahie ki ve khatm ho jaatee hain
sab kuchh khatm ho jaata hai, kuchh cheejen hamaare jeevan ke ant mein aur kuchh cheejen usase pahale. main I .am thankful for the good days with her
Roshini ( understood half but didn't other )🤔..I'm very sorry that things have ended between you two. I know you're going through a lot. You have such strength; divorce isn't easy. I'm amazed at how well you're handling it all..😊
Rohan : rosh time hogaya jaldi ao
Roshini : haan rohan.
Hum actually aj raat he Mumbai jaa rahe hai.... by.. ye apko dekhe achcha laga( he gives gloom smile )
She moves from there...aman looks at her in ake .. (sullen look. )she turns looks into his eyes.. 👀
And walks away
..They hadn't talked much and left ,,
After some days it was ishan's birthday and Ayesha had called Aman , he normally avoids such things but he couldn't stop himself from going , he decides just tell her everything whatever happens
At the birthday ...
Mahima: Roshini I have a surprise for  you
Mahima was making an announcement
She takes the glass
Mahima : on this lovely occasion of my son's birthday,,I would like to make a very special announcement of my family,... that my daughter is going to be married 🤗🤗
Roshini shocked.. Aman 😵) rohan idhar aa
And it's none other Rohan sighania..
Roshini looks at Rohan, he nods in yes
Her dad gives the rings
Rohan puts in her finger ...
She looks at her parents
Manoj: karo beta 😊
and they exchanged
Aman's heart breaks seeing all this 💔💔💔
He walked away from that place
Aman's vo : It feels like someone has just wrenched my  special thing...It feels like why me?...It's hard to accept,i was  still not able to believe...
He sits in a tank to stable himself
:  I remember the day we met,
Something was weird..yet the innocent..!
I looked into you ,For the first time I found myself..
Still it hurts,the moments
The memories we made
Can't it be same as it was?
Nope it's not too late
It can be,but things are not same!
Yeah ,I  messed up!
Two days later aman was feeling the low the same way he felt 9 years back and decides to move to his   Ship and the oceans
Aman Enters his ship and starts sailing
... and moving away leaving his heart back....
