SAFAR

CHAPTER 12

🍀4 YEARS BACK🍀

"Let's go", looking into her phone, she stood up from the couch, took her bag and then, Anu said.
Ritz - But where
A - Are chal na
R - par kha
A - itni angrezi smjh me aati hai mujhe😑tujhe Hindi me bolne ki koi zaroorat nhi
R - haa toh seedhe seedhe bta kha...ab tu jawaab hi nhi degi toh koi bhi smjhega ki tu anpadh gawar hai😒
A - ho gya tera
R - jab tak nhi btayegi tab tak toh nhi😂😜
A - Abe yrrr..chl na😩
"Are yrrr! Abhi abhi toh college se aayi hoon aur tu chalne ko bol rhi hai. I'm not going anywhere", taking a seat on the couch Ritu said.
Anu gave a death glance to her. Ritz noticed that and said - ok fine! But batayegi bhi ki hum jaa kha rhe hai(said standing from the couch)
"Chal na sab pta chl jayega😩" - dragging her outside of the living room, Anu said.

(✍️AN: Ritu used to call Anjali by "Anu" and Anjali to Ritu by "Ritz")

Anu locked the door, put the house keys in her bag and took out scooty keys. Both were going downstairs when Ritu saw the time in her wrist watch and said loudly"Anu, it's 9:00PM"
A - Really?
R - yes
"Koi baat nhi. We are strong girls. Ok! Now stop making faces and let's go" - Anjali said while holding her hands.
Anjali started scooty and Ritu sat behind her. Anjali drove to a restaurant and stopped her scooty in front of it.
Then A - Utar
R - kya?
A - Abe utar
R - oh
Then she quickly rided off the scooty. It seemed like if Anjali was waiting for someone. Noticing that, Ritu asked - What are we doing here? Are you waiting for someone?
A - yess (said with excitement)
R - for whom
A - for him
R - Him? Whom? (asked confusingly)
After thinking for a while, she suddenly said- WHAT! HIM? not again yrr😭
"Yes Yaar" - Anjali said with a grin on her face😁
R - Main sach keh rahi hoon...tu ek din marwayegi mujhe uske chakkar mein
"Kyu dost ke liye itna bhi nhi kr skti🥺" - Anjali asked with concern
R - Jaan de doon woh bhi tere liye...chhii🤮
"Abe chup" - A scolded
R - Is he here?
"Yes" - Anjali said proudly 😎 giving a wide smile 😁
R - par tujhe kaise pta aur tu krne kya wali hai
A - Think! Think!
R - Oh how can I forget that you stalk him the whole day but how did you know he is here
A - Are simple..he posted a pic with caption ENJOYING STARBUCKS abd there is only one famous Starbuck here so obviously woh yahi aayega na... understood?
" Oh god! Ye ladki...agar itna dimaag kabhi tune apni padhai pe lgaya hota...I swear" - R said annoyingly
A - are lgaya toh..tab toh yha hoon
R - arre I mean... nothing leave.
She had no words because she already knew Anjali was ofcourse brilliant in her studies.
R - woh sab toh thik hai par tu krne kya wali hai
"Just wait and watch" - Anjali said while watching the restaurant
"Fine! Jaisa tu kahe..tu toh uske liye hume bhi chhod de" - Ritu whispered the last part
A - Did you say something
R - No! What can I?🙄😐
Both started waiting for him. After waiting for sometime, Anjali saw Darshan coming from the restaurant along with some of his friends. Ritu was busy in her phone when suddenly Anjali said,"DARSHAN"
Darshan heard and started looking around. She almost screamed and her scream was loud enough to be heard. That's why he heard. But Anjali was able to hide herself from him because they were on the opposite sides of the road. Ritu had already hidden because she knew, after looking Darshan, what would be her reaction and her craziness could do any thing. Darshan saw noone so he went into the car. Anjali turned her scooty to the direction in which Darshan was about to go in his car.
Anjali started the scooty and said - Baith
R - ok
She sat and asked - By the way, what are we going to do?
A - Pichha
R - Pichha?
A - yess😁
R - Are you out of your mind? Pichha like a thief. I am not going to do that, especially with You.
She rided off the scooty again.
A - Toh tu yhi khadi reh main toh chli
Anjali was about to go when Ritu stopped her and said - ok fine! I'm also coming with you.
She quickly sat. Anjali started scooty and began to chase the car. While driving, she said - Ye hui na baat. You are my girl babes😎
"Shut up and concentrate on driving" - R said annoyingly🤢
And chuckled and nodded negativity and started singing, "Main chli main chli dekho pyaar ki gali. Mera pyaar hai jahan mujhe Jana hai waha.."
Interrupting her, Ritu - Abe o...ye pyar ki gali nhi shamshan ki gali hai
A - hein
R - aur nhi toh kya...uske chakkar me ek din mujhe bhi marwayegi aur khud bhi jayegi
A - shut up😒 that's not shamshan gali that's my pyaar wali gali🙈
R - huh..dekhte h...chl chl pehle chl pta chla abhi hi shamshan bna diya accident karwake
A - huh...haa haa chla hi rhi hoon Shanti se reh tu😒
They were chasing the car when suddenly the car stopped. They also stopped in a jerk. Anjali breathed heavily and said - Thank God!
R - kyu? Kya hua?
A - Thank God ki hum distance par the warna toh woh hume dekh hi leta
R - Tab toh maza hi aa jaata
They saw one of his friend coming out of the car and walked to one of the colonies there. He was bidding bye to all those in car and vice-versa. The car started again. Anjali also continued to drive and asked after a while, "waise to kuch keh rahi thi"
R - kya
A - maza aa jaata
R - haa toh?
A - kya maza aa jaata..jara mujhe bhi toh pta chle
R - are kuch nhi. Simple si baat h. Dekh, woh tujhe dekh leta aur samajh jaata ki tu uska pecha kr rhi hai aur use Jahan Jana hota woh waha na jakar apni direction badal leta
A - Toh kya
R - woh notice krta rehta ki tu uska pecha kr rhi hai aur finally use lgta ki tu uski fan hai
A - toh?
R - toh kya? Woh car se utarta. Tumse apne fan ki tarah treat karta aur tata bye bye karke chala jaata aur tu bas dekhti reh jaati aur wapas ghar chalti. Atleast itna ghumna toh nhi padta.
A - Hehe...very funny. Shut up
R - uff...waise tu itni dari kyu lag rhi h
A - dari hui? Kon?
R - tu aur kaun
A - main?
R - of course yrr you
A - nhi toh... main dari hui nhi hoon. Main toh khush hoon ki I'll get his address soon. Usne apna purana adress toh badal diya kyuki itna viral hi ho gya tha so new address toh janna jaroori hai na. Par tujhe Aisa kyu lga?
R - kuch nhi...bas aise hi
Anjali was really scared. She was scared thinking what would happen if Darshan really notices her chasing him and also it was too late at night and she was with only Ritu. Both were alone and young girls. The car again stopped and a boy again got off the car. Again bidding continued. This bidding continued for next two times. Finally Darshan was alone in the car. Anjali thought that now he would go straight to his home. Darshan started driving again. Anjali too was driving. Darshan was taking too much turns. Noticing that,
A - What happened
R - kya? (Asked to listen what she said)
A - kuch nhi be behri
After sometime, Anjali again - What happened to him? He is taking so much turns yrrr (said confusingly)
R - shayad use pata chl gya hai ki tu uska picha kr rhi hai
A - shut up! Kabhi kuch acha toh bol nhi sakti. At least uske baare me toh mat bol. Negativity ki dukaan.
R - maine uske baare me kaha kuch bola ..maine toh tere baare me bola
A - phir bhi. Tu mujhe relate toh usi se kr rhi hai na
R - haa haa...tera pyaar Tera Jahan jo hai toh bolegi nhi
A - I know and now shut up. Let me concentrate on driving
Both were silent. Ritu saw her wrist watch and it showed 10:18 PM. Ritu was shocked seeing the time. She was about to say something when Anjali stopped scooty in jerk. Ritu saw that the car too stopped then asked - pohonch gye?
A - pta nhi
R - kya? (Didn't listen and asked)
A - shayad (said a lil bit loud making her listen)
R - shayad? Mtlb?
A - I mean pohonch toh gye par ye hai kon si jagah?
R - kon si jagah mtlb? Tujhe nhi pta?
A - no...tujhe bhi nhi pta?
R - Abe tu Jahan hai main bhi wahi hoon. Mujhe kaise pta hoga. Ab kya kare? Hum toh kho gye😭😭. Ye jo bhi ho rha h na woh uss Darshan ki wajah se😭😭 I'll...
Interrupting her, A - oyeee. Jabaan smbhal ke...aur nhi pta toh kya... scientists kab kaam aayenge
"Scientists??" - R asked confusingly
A - Abe Google Map nasamjh
R - oh toh seedhe se bol na. Paheli bhujane ki kya jaroorat h...waise ye Darshan jaa kha raha hai...mujhe ye koi Ghar toh nhi lg rha...but since ye Mumbai h, anything is possible here. But maine ye kabhi nhi socha tha ye itna bada celebrity hokr iss type ke ghar me rhega. Mujhe toh lga tha ki aalishan se badda wala Ghar hoga, garden Hoga par ye kya😂 dekh le Anu...tera sasural 😂🤣🤣🤣
A - Oho shut up! Kitna bolti h. Kisi cheez ke baare me kuch bolne se pehle na information le liya kar
R - mtlb?
A - mtlb ki ye ki ye koi Ghar nhi h. It's his studio. DZ Studio.
R - really??
A - yess
R - But how do you know that? Itna information. Oh goddd .use bhi tun...
Interrupting her, A - offo! Signboard dekh be lol.
R - ohhh! But ye toh studio gya h
A - I can see. I too have two eyes.
R - ab kya
A - wait karte h kuch time
R again saw her wrist watch. It showed 10:29.
R - wait again. Not anymore even now. See it's 10:29
A - arre wait na little, pls (requested making a puppy face)
R - Ok fine. But only little. Now stop making faces.
A smiled proudly after her victory. After waiting for sometime, R - Let's go now. I can't wait anymore. See it's already 11 PM. We have been waiting for half an hour.
A - It's really late but can't we wait some more🥺
R - No Anu. Baat ko samajhne ki koshish kr. I know ki you love him, yaar but tu hi soch it's too late. Phir tu hi toh kehti hai na sirf Dil se nhi dimaag se bhi kaam Lena chahiye aur abhi dimaag se kaam lene ka waqt hai dil se nhi. Try to understand Anu.
A - ok. You are right. Let's go🙃😓 (said making a cry face)
She started scooty. She became sad but somewhere she was happy too because at least she found his studio. They went to their apartment. Anjali opened the door. Both entered in and locked it from inside. It was 11:30 PM. Ritu fell on couch. Anjali went to kitchen, made noodles 🍜 because it was too late to make anything else. Both were eating, when Ritu asked meanwhile - Tu gussa h kya?
A - Gussa?
R - haa
A - kyu
R - kyunki maine teko jabardasti ghar aane ko bola isiliye
A - are nhi nhi. Chal jaake so jaa. Tujhe kal subah college jaana hai na.
R - hmm
Both went to their bedrooms next to each other and slept
