Main Phir Bhi Tujhko Chahungi

Friendship

Arjun took out a dark blue tie to match his black coat as he styled his hair in a new way. He was putting on his cufflinks when a voice called him.

"Bhai ready?" Yug asked from the door.

"Haan abhi Aya." Arjun said as he finally put on his watch and existed the room.

Ansh gave a mocking whistle to his brother,"Bhai kisse impress karne ja rhe ho?"

"Not my fault everyone gets impressed with me," Arjun shrugged.

Maya and Neha also reached downstairs with their mothers to bid them farewell. One of their acquaintance had called them over on their anniversary party but unfortunately other members can't make it to there.

They bid farewell and sit in the car. Arjun played his favourite song and hummed along as Ansh started chating with his girlfriend Ruby and Yug looked out the window enjoying the view. Finally They reached their destination.

"So Bhai, is Bhabi coming today?" Yug asked as they started walking.

"Bhai...who bhabi?" Ansh asked confused.

"Ruby Bhabi??" Yug asked bewildered.

"Ohh..she...don't call her bhabi. We are just having fun. Yeah she is here too," Ansh spoke carelessly.

"I don't think she is in fun and games Ansh. And what's the point of dating if the end goal ain't marriage?" Arjun asked him. He was concerned for this brother of his. Yes even he had dated carelessly once. But it was only one not like Ansh and he had regretted it a lot.

"Bhai...please...let's talk about it at home not at a venue," Ansh pleaded. He didn't want to get in a fight in venue. God knows both of them are aggressive when they are angered beyond their wits. Arjun sighed and dropped the topic.

They all went inside and congratulated the old couple who shined like moon together and reflected the sun in their smiles.

"If I get married...I want my relationship like theirs.." Yug murmured to Arjun and Ansh and they agreed. Soon they found different groups and went there. Yug joined his friends who were busy sipping on wine while talking to someone.

He looked at the person and was mesmerised to meet her. She was beautiful. A innocent type of beautiful and her eyes shone in childishness. She was laughing at something his friends had told her.

"Yug meet Kajal Sharma. She is a very good architect and I had hired her for the job." One of friends introduced them.

"Hellooo," she spoke enthusiastically and forwarded her hands to shake his. He shyingly gave her a handshake as she mingled among them again. Soon music started playing as all his friends got with their escorts to the dance floor.

"Mr Yug would you like a dance." Kajal asked to him.

"Da..dance?" Yug asked.

"I am getting bored and so are you. Deny if you want...no pressure at all." She shrugged as she kept the empty glass back.

"Sure." Yug answered shying as he offered a hand.

Here Ansh was busy with Gf when they both collided with a girl standing. Ansh looked back at the girl. She was quite beautiful if he say so. Her big expressive eyes had him caged till he felt someone shaking him. He looked at his gf and to the angry bird infront of him.

"Can't you...cant you just see and walk," Pia questioned angrily.

"Oh hello the fault is yours...you cheap class," Ruby spated at the girl.

"Pleaseee...cheap class is better than low class," Pia spoke back. These people were really getting on her nerves. First trip over a girl then show attitude.

"Calm down Angry bird no one was harmed right?" Ansh asked amused looking at the fuming girl.

"Ang-angry what? " Pia asked.

"You heard it perfectly the first time. Angry bird." Ansh teased back again.

"Now listen you...you... Kaala chamkadar...if you don't have manners do have an ettiqutte class with you lady. You people seriously need it." Pia spoke rolling her eyes as she went away. She really hate Richie rich like them.

Arjun sighed in relief as all the business clients went away as the music begun. He sipped his wine slowly when he felt an intense stare on him. He looked at the front to witness Ritwik Singhania glaring at him. He glared right back at him. The intensity increasing as they kept glaring at each other. Finally Ritwik backed down but Arjun's eyes didn't leave him until he disappeared in the crowd.

"Oh gosh...are you OK?" A voice asked him in panic he looked down his hand to see that he had squeezed the glass hard and blood was dripping down.

"Ye-" Arjun was shocked to see the lady. He didn't spoke anything as she bandaged his hands.

"Now you are." The girl spoke satisfied.

"Now I am...Dr Sharma" Arjun spoke dazzled.

"Wait how do yo-Mr Agnihotri...it's you!!" She spoke her eyes wide in realisation.

"Yeah it's me. Looks like destiny is in my favour." He spoke and he didn't know why he added the last line.

"Ohh...yeah ...I can't believe you still remember me though."

"Can't forget such a beautiful face." Arjun spoke honestly as she blushed. Arjun admired her in the gown she wore. A white gown with her hair in a messy bun and some falling on her face. A red shash around her with Ruby jewels. " I mean look at you now."

She blushed harder."you too"

They heard the next song playing and Arjun offered her his hand. She accepted it shyly. They both danced slowly to the music. A million of question still the lips decided to rest for the time and let the eyes and soul to quench the thirst.

Finally, the song got over. She slowly slipped from his embrace.

"Bye Dr Sharma."

"Hmm. Call me Pooja,"

"Call me Arjun then."

They smiled at each other before his phone rang. They went their ways letting destiny to do it's work. Will they meet again? Was all they questioned as they drived their way home. A smile resting on their lips.
