Love will Find The way

Chapter 10- Pyaar ya Dhokha

Nandini didn't expect this from Aryaman out of nowhere. "Why are you talking like you've helped me with your money? I have paid your bill so you repaid it to me. And yes, if I need more money, I know who to ask?" Nandini said. "I'm sorry Nandini" Aryaman instantly realized his mistake. "It's ok, now will you come with me!" she asked him. ''That's it! You don't hold anything against me, are we good again!'' Aryaman is surprised. ''Ha, you have apologized and you didn't do it intentionally, so we are good'' Nandini said. ''Thank God, I thought you will show all your nakhre now'' Aryaman said. ''Girls don't do it with all men, it will be only with my man'' she said. ''Please stop talking like Manik, pyaar, soulmates, committment and janam janam ka rishta and all'' Aryaman said. ''Yes I do believe in them'' Nandini said. ''Even you will believe it when you fall in true love'' Nandini said as they start in her car. 

''Mujhe kabhi nahi hoga ye pyaar'' Aryaman remembered Tara. Nandini heard a change of voice in Aryaman. ''Why do I feel like you already had your true love but you lost it'' Nandini asked a sad Aryaman. ''Because it was not true love'' Aryaman said. ''It will not bother you if its not true love'' Nandini said and Aryaman sighed. Thry reached a bar and Aryaman asked her. "Is this the place you  were talking about?" he asked. "Yes, let's go" they went inside. "What is so special about this place that you brought me here?" Aryaman asked. "If you pass out after getting high, they will take you home in your car, you can pay the bill the next day" Nandini said. "Whoa! I never heard about such arrangements! How is this even possible?" he asked her. "Because bar owner is so nice person and I work here, I feel this place is safe even for girls" Nandini said.

"What! You work here? You must be kidding" Aryaman said. "No, I have my bills to pay, so I'm working here" she said. "Satya?" he asked hesitantly. "Yes, this owner is a close friend of Satya, that is why he offered a job here" Nandini said. Aryaman is confused. "Satya was once a very rich man but now he is abandoned by his children" Nandini said. ''Are you saying that he is not your grand father?'' Aryaman asked. "Yes, unfortunately I've just inherited his surname not his blood'' Nandini said. ''So, are you doing all this for him?'' Aryaman asked again. ''Yes, he gave me so much, my identity, my life and this time I must give him whatever I could do, after all he is in last stage of his life, he has pancreatic cancer Aryaman, advanced stage'' Aryaman felt sorry for him. Before Aryaman could say anything, Nandini said, ''Ok, leave it all, come I'll make you a drink, my style'' she called him towards the bar counter and asked him to wait there till she change herself into the uniform.

She came back in the uniform and served him vodka. ''Manik will freak out if he gets to know that his upcoming heroine is a bartender'' Aryaman thought of Manik who bombarded him with questions about him and Nandini. ''Tho usse mat batana'' Nandini said. They talked for sometime and Nandini has asked him to stop drinking much. ''Why are you stopping me anyway?'' he asked her. ''Because we don't know your address and I can't take you home  tonight'' she said. ''Tumhara pehla film ruk gaya na?'' he asked her. ''Why should we talk about it now?'' Nandini sighed. ''Even my first film, it was never released'' he said sadly. ''Ye sab tho iss industry mein common hai na'' Nandini tried to cheer him up. ''Iss industry mein hoga common but not in my life, all because of that bastard Rajesh Srivastava'' Aryaman's blood boiled. ''Rajesh Srivastava?! How is he involved?'' she asked him. ''He is responsible. He was the producer and financier'' Aryaman said. 

''Even he is my producer and with that film, he planned to launch his son, Rohan Srivastava. Because of Rohan's accident and bed rest, this film got postponed'' Nandini said to him. Aryaman stood up from there and walked out of the bar. He looked anxious and it was hard to breathe. Nandini followed Aryaman. ''Kya hua? Are you alright?'' he asked her. ''Did he do something to you?'' he asked her. ''What! No" she said casually. ''Then you must have slept with him intentionally, that will be the only way to get your film released anyway, I know you and him'' Aryaman accused Nandini out of the blue. ''What are you talking Aryaman? You seem to be out of your senses, please leave'' she said. Nandini was all hurt from the accusation of Aryaman. ''Why? Will he come here if I go?'' Aryaman asked making his eyes wider. Nandini slapped Aryaman. ''Usne bhi yahi kiya tha, I thought I should say sorry to her, but then came  a shocker, boom she married that bastard'' Nandini did not get what he spoke about. 

''Who?'' she managed to ask amidst her anger. ''Wahi ladki, jinke baare mein tum true love kaha. What did you say? I wouldn't bother if its not true love, grow up Nandini Murthy, pyaar se zyada dukh dhokha se hoti hai, she cheated on me, she slept with him. That Rajesh Srivastava, he was her sugar daddy and like a lovely couple they got married. Can you believe that Tara married Rajesh for his money, and my first film never got released because he doesn't want his wife to act, bastard'' Aryaman cried as he said. ''And you are no lesser than her, you are the same. Let me guess, you are beautiful than Tara, but he might not marry you. Maybe he will'' Aryaman continued and Nandini slapped him hard. She sent him away. Nandini was broke and she needed some time for herself. 

****************************************************************************************

Aryaman looked disturbed and his eyes were red. Manik was getting ready in vanity and called for a shot. He came out and saw Nandini still not in her costume. He tried to say something but she talked first. ''Please don't say anything, I know I'm late but I will make it up'' she said. She took only 15 minutes to get ready and came back. ''Nandini, it's an emotional scene, Navya please keep the glycerin ready'' Cabir told. Manik is relieved as he had not many dialogues. He searched for Aryaman but he is nowhere around to be found. Manik looked at Nandini as Cabir said ''Action''. He keenly looked at her lips when she recited her lines. Cabir was about to interrupt the scene as Navya had to apply glycerin in Nandini's eyes but he had to stop himself as Nandini is already crying and tears flew down her cheeks. 

Manik is also surprised to see her. She said all her dialogues and he startled. He looked into her eyes and he felt bad. ''I should not have did that yesterday'' he thought himself. ''Should I stop her?'' he again thought and Navya said from behind, ''Manik sir, hug her''. Without a second thought, he hugged her tight and patted on her back so as to console her. ''Cut'' Cabir said louder. Nandini immediately moved away from him and went out from there. Navya ran towards Cabir. ''Is the shot okay?'' she asked a confused Cabir. ''Yesterday no one did anything but now she cried without glycerin, Navya do you think she really cried?'' Cabir asked Navya. ''Is the shot okay?'' Manik asked Cabir. ''Yes sir, Shot ok'' he said. ''Mujhe bhi yahi laga ki she cried for real and that was not an act'' Navya said to Cabir and Manik heard her. ''Why she must be crying? Did I went really overboard yesterday? But ye Aryaman ke saath party mein gayi kal raat'' Manik did not understand anything and went in search of her. 

He saw Nandini near a tree and went near her. ''I'm sorry for yesterday'' he said and gave her his hand-kerchief. Aryaman came there just then and she went away. Manik observed that there was something with them. ''Did I just miss something?'' Manik asked as Aryaman saw Nandini leaving. ''No bro. You didn't miss. In fact you have tried to hide that she is Rajesh Srivastava's property'' Aryaman said and Manik made a question mark face. ''Kya?'' he asked Aryaman. ''Just like Tara, ye bhi saanp nikli. I told you all girls are same'' Aryaman said. ''Exactly kya hua ye batao mujhe'' Manik asked anxious. ''I asked her whether she slept with Rajesh, she was silent bro. She slapped me. I was right'' Aryaman filled in Manik's ear. Manik couldn't hold any emotion for longer and went into his vanity.

''Kaisi ladki hai yaar. She is in a live-in relation with one guy, but she goes to party with some random stranger like Aryaman, the very first day and they both discuss about their previous affairs. Shit'' for some reason he was hurt by Nandini. He then remembered her bracelet which he safely put in his locker. 

He took the bracelet in his hand, ''I was wrong about you Nandini'' he said and threw the bracelet away as he fumed in anger.
