SAFAR

CHAPTER 17

Darshan locked the door from inside. Ritu went to her college for some practicals he was unaware of. Since she had told him that her holidays were going on so she couldn't tell him that. Now Darshan came inside and sat on the sofa. He again looked at Anjali sleeping in front of him. She was sleeping peacefully with one of her hands on her cheeks and other was on sofa wrappoy her stomach. And music playing in the room was TU MILEYA. He noticed as Tu Mileya started, she started smiling lil bit in her sleep and was looking cute. He then took his phone and stared scrolling his Instagram for timepass. After sometime, he got bored and noticed that he was lying on sofa. He started thinking what to do now. He turned his face right and found Anjali still sleeping. An idea hit his mind and then smiled devilishly. He took out his phone. He opened snapchat and took her pictures with some funny filters. He thought he would tease her showing those filtered pictures after she wakes up. Then he took some normal pictures of her. He went to her,sat on his knees and took some selfies with her. He then thought of taking home tour. He started it. He went to one of the rooms attached to the living room which was in right. It seemed to be of Ritu's room. He then went to terrace and started noticing everything there. He found a Diary on the centre of table there. He went near it and found written MY LIFE on it. He thought to open it at once but thought it's wrong to read someone's else diary. Use Diary pe likhi writing jaani pehchani lag rahi thi par use yaad nhi aa rha tha ki usne aisi writing dekhi kha h. He then went Inside and went to second room on the left which might be of Anjali. He saw more blue there. When he was going out of the room, he noticed the wall attached to the main door is covered with curtains on both the sides of the door. It seemed like it's a design. He thought to open it at once. It seemed to him like something was being hid. He opened the right wall curtains but found nothing. He thought to open the left wall curtains but it was more difficult. Curtains were on high and there was a table below that. So he thought it might be same empty. So he went out of the room. He spent next 2 hours using his phone. He was in the living room sitting on the sofa infront of that where Anjali was sleeping when Anjali started moving her body. He saw it. He thought she might be waking up. She started yawning and saying still closing her eyes - Oyee pagal...song kyu bnd kiya
She was stretching her body and regularly yawning. She was looking cute while stretching. He was enjoying the view in front of him. He was smiling seeing her like this.
She continued - Rittttuuuu....gaana chalu kr na yrr...mere hubby ka song bnd kr diya...oyee pgl
And jab gaana phir bhi nhi start hua, she annoyingly opened her eyes. It seemed to her that someone is sitting on the sofa left to her. She thought it to be Ritu and directly turned towards her left saying - Oyee mere pyaar ki dushman...song kyu bn...
She was saying it when she noticed Darshan instead of Ritu there and quickly shut her mouth by keeping her hands on her mouth. He was listening to everything but wasn't caring. He was just smiling at her activity. As she kept her hands on her mouth, he chuckled. She realised what she said - HUBBY AND MERE PYAAR KI DUSHMAN
She thought - he bhagwan...ye yha kya kar rha hai aur khi isne sun toh nhi liya jo maine kha
A - Tum? Tum yha kya kr rhe ho
As she said this loudly, only then D came to his senses and said - Haa?
A - maine pucha tum yha kya kar rhe ho aur kab aaye tum aur ye stupid jaise has kyu rhe ho aur where is Ritu aur usne mujhe btaya ky...
She was asking non-stop when Darshan went to her and closed her mouth with his hands. She was still lying on the sofa. Darshan was on his knees beside her; his right hand on her mouth and left hand wrapping her waist on the sofa. There was a small eyelock between them when Anjali started removing his hands from her mouth and Darshan held more tightly her waist.
She was trying to say something but couldn't bcz Darshan had his palms covering her mouth.
D - chup chup...ekdm chup
They were so close that Anjali's heartbeats were racing. She could feel it and didn't want D to listen this. So she stated pushing him on his chest.
D - kitne sawal puchti ho...tumhara muh dard nhi karta kya itna bakti ho
She was regularly pushing him.
D - nhi hatunga warna phir se tumhari bak bak chalu ho jayegi
A stopped pushing him and nodded her head in negative like a child.
D found it childish and smiled and said - what
Anjali was motioning her head like I won't ask
D - pakka
A nodded her head in positive
D still found it childish and cute and left her and said - good
Now Anjali's heartbeats were more fast. She quickly sat up and Darshan went back to the sofa, sat there and started scrolling his phone while Anjali was observing what was going there. She saw all around her to find Ritu. She got up from there and searched the whole room but didn't find her. She came back to the Living room and asked him - where is Ritz
He looked at her and said - phir start ho gya tumhara
She got annoyed and said - are maine bas ek hi sawal kiya h na...btao kha h woh..mujhe toh khi nhi dikh rhi
D - ghar me hogi hi nhi toh dikhegi kha se
A - woh ghar me nhi h mtlb...phir kha h...aur woh agar ghar me nhi h toh tum yha kya kr rhe ho...aur tum aaye...
D - lo..ho gya na tumhara chalu..pta nhi Ritu kaise jhelti h tumhe
A - o shut up! I am innocent
D - look who is saying
A - I am saying
D - in ur dreams Jhagdaalo...jab dekho tab jhagda krti rehti h
A - maine kab kiya jhagda aur kisse kiye
D - har waqt toh jhagda hi krti rehti ho..lo abhi hi dekh lo
And like this they started fighting like tom and jerry. Their fight was going on when someone rang the doorbell.
D opened it and saw Ritu.
A - aa gyi tu finally...kha thi ab tak bin btaye
R - kuch emergency tha
A - tih btakr jaana tha na
R - are tu so rhi thi toh kaise btati
A - toh Kam se kam text toh kr deti
R - are Darshan yhi tha toh mujhe lga ki ye tumhe bta dega..tumne btaya nhi ise
D - are ye mujhe bolne de tab na...tab se toh khud hi chapar chapar kiye jaa rhi h
A - Hawww how mean...ek number ke jhute ho...manna padega
D - aur tum nautanki
R - I am with you
D - haina
And they gave H-5 to each other.
A - haww Rittz...tu iski baaton pe belive kr rhi h..u know I was kept asking him where are u where r u but he
D - tumhe jhagda krne se fursat mile tab toh btau...pehle mujhse lad rhi thi phir uske aane par isse aur ab ohir mujhse
A - main kad rhi thi haa...
And like this, they again went on when Ritu interrupted - are bas bas...ho gya tom and jerry ki ladai...ab kaam ki baat pe aaye
A - kaisa kaam aur tu pehle ye bta what is he doing here and when he came
D - are iske sawalon ka jawab de do pehle warna pura din sar khayegi
A - shut up
R - are bas bas meri maa...m btati hoon. Actually isko bday planning ke liye bulaya hai...aaj tu bhi free h toh sath me milkr planning krenge
A - ohh...toh pehle btana tha na
R - haa...ek kaam krte h...hum dono jaa rhe h terrace pe tab tak tu humare liye kuch special bna kr la
A - Bhaad me jaa
R - pls na yrr
A - nooo
R - pls pls pls...tu humesha meri baat manti h na toh aaj bhi Maan ja...aur kal toh mera bday h toh pls
A - bday tera kal h aaj nhi jo aaj teri saari baat manungi
R - aur agar tu kal Sara din apne college fests me busy ho gyi toh

A - ohk fine...bnana kya h ye bol
R - ammm...mera kuch meetha khane ka man ho rha h sooo....haa chocolate...tere hath ki Chocolat is the yummiest
A - huh...thik h itna makhan malai mat lga...laa rhi hoon Jaa tu
Then Anjali went to kitchen to make chocolates and rest both went to terrace to plan. Both sat on the sofa and started discussing. His eyes were regularly falling on the diary kept there. Woh baar baar yaad karne ki koshish kr rha tha ki ye handwriting usne dekhi kha h. They were discussing when Anjali came there with the chocolates. They were discussing when Anjali came there with the chocolates. As Ritu saw her, she said - Ummm...mere yummy chocolates aa gye
As she said, only then Darshan looked at Anjali and the tray in her hands.
R - lao lao jaldi lao
A - haa de rahi hoon baba
While handling her the tray, she said - toh? Ho gyi planning?
R - Haa ho gyi
A - puri planning ho gyi
R - haa ho gyi
A - mere bina
R - nhi tere sath
A - hein
R - tune chocolates bnaye na toh hua na tera role
A - huh
Ritu started eating chocolates. Anjali saw Darshan was bit having it, was only staring at chocolates. She thought ise kya hua then she remembered that he follows a strict diet. So she said to tease him - kya hua...khao chocolates
D - mujhe nhi khana
A - kyu
D - kyuki baad me tum iske liye bhi mujhse ladogi
A - huh...mat Khao
Then she started eating chocolates while asking to Ritu - toh kya plan bna h
Ritu started telling her while motioning Darshan to eat chocolates. D took them and started eating.
A - hawwww
D - what
A - maine kha toh tumne nhi khaya aur usne kha toh tumne turant kha liya
D - haa toh
R - tu hum dono me ladai krwana chahti h kya
A - main aisa kyu chahungi bhala
D - chahti ho tabhi toh aisa bol rhi hoon
A said nothing after this. Use thoda bura laga. Use iss baat ka bura nhi laga ki Darshan ne Ritu ke kehne pe khaya but uss baat ka bura lga ki unhone use aisa kha. That's why Anjali waha se uthkar chaku gyi without uttering a word. On the other side, as Darshan ate those chocolates, he thought - ye chocolates...jaane pehchane lg rhe h
He then asked to Ritu - ye chocolates kha se mangwaye
R - kha se mangwaye mtlb?? Ye chocolates toh Anu ne bnaye h na
D - oh haa
Then suddenly he remembered, the chocolates gifted to him was of same taste as this chocolate is tasting. As this hit his mind, he was shocked for a while. And suddenly remembered the writing on the large box. He thought - Uss box pe wahi same writing se likhi thi jo iss diary pe likhi h(while looking at the diary)
He said - ye writing...tumlogon ne kon si Calligrapher se likhwaya h ye
R looked at the diary and said - are ye toh Anjali ne likha h
D - whatt
R - haa...uski writing bohot mast h..par kyu
D - nhi kuch nhi bas aise hi..mujhe achi lgi isiliye pucha...btw, iss diary me h kya m dekh skta hoon?
R remembered that it's Anjali's personal diary and she allows noone to read it. She immediately said - Are no no.. it's Anu's personal diary..she will kill me if she gets to know that I allowed you to read this diary. She allows noone to read this except one.
D - and who is that
R - hai koi...tum jankar kya karoge(in her mind - are tum hi toh ho woh... it's just she doesn't want to reveal her identity otherwise main tumhe thodi na rokti)
Darshan asked to see the diary because he wanted to see her writing so that he can match her writing with the writing in letters.
He was shocked. He was thinking all these when Ritu said - Darshan... it's 7 PM. Don't you have to go
D came in his senses and said - haa..main toh bhul hi gya tha...chlta hoon..kal raat ko milte h 8 bje...and Happy Birthday in advance.
They hugged each other. When they were hugging each other, Anjali saw them. She was coming to them to take tray to wash. But as she saw them hugging, she moved back and went to living room and thought to wait till Darshan goes. She started feeling sad a lil bit. Darshan was going so when he came in the living room to go, his eyes fell on Anjali. All those things started running in his mind again. He was going to the door while looking at her. As Anjali saw Darshan there, their hug started running in her mind. She was looking at Darshan. Both were looking at each other continuously. Finally Darshan reached the door and went away. As he went, Anjali quickly went to the terrace and wanted to ask Ritu why they were hugging each other. But as she saw Ritu, she controlled herself and thought it's normal. It's habit of Darshan to hug everyone. When Darshan went to his home, he took those letters again and was looking at the writing only. He started thinking - kya ye sab Anjali ne diya h.
He remembered something when he was at their home to have dinner on his birthday night. Use pyaas lagi thi and there was no water on the dining table so he was going to kitchen to ask for some water. He was on the door when he heard Anjali saying PLEASE USE MAT BATANA KI YE GIFTS USE KISNE DIYE HAIN. As he heard it, he didn't go to kitchen. He directly went to terrace and while looking at the sky, started thinking that why She doesn't want him to know about that fan.
D - uss din bhi woh identity na reveal krne ke baare me baat kar rhi thi...inn chocolates ke bhi taste same hain...ye handwriting bhi same...kya sach me ye Anjali ne hi Diya h...lekin agr usne Diya hota toh woh ye kyu chhipati...may be usne hi uss fangirl ke liye chocolates bnayi hogi...aur rahi baat uss heading ki toh sach me uski writing ki mast hai ho skta h usne Anjali se hi likhwaya hoga...mere paas koi proof bhi toh nhi h...darshan ab jyada mat soch...so ja chup chap...kal bohot taiyaariyan krni h..afterall Ritu ka bday jo h
