Few days later.. Ishqi had realised her feelings for Ahaan.. but she kept it to herself as she didn't know how to tell him.. and now one day she finally decided that she would confess her feelings to him.. morning.. at the breakfast table..
I: Siya..
S: hmm.. bol..
I: mai soch rahi thi ki mai Ahaan sir ko bata du..
S: kya..? (Pause) ek min ek min.. ACP sir se Ahaan sir..?
(she blushes)oh ho..madam blush kar rahi hai.. samajh gayi ki tu kya batana chahti hai..
I: shut up..
S: ok fine.. nahi chedungi.. waise.. on a serious note.. tu.. tu sure hai is baare mein..?
I(nods): ha.. sure hu..roz unse mulakat hoti hai.. baatein karte hai hum.. mai apne feelings ko aur chupa nahi sakti..
S: I'm so happy for u.. finally tu apne life ka ek naya chapter shuru karne jaa rahi hai..
I: yaar.. nervous hu..
S: pehli baar tujhe pyar hua hai kisi se aur confess karne jaa rahi hai tu.. thodi si nervousness toh hogi hi..Few hrs later she calls Ahaan & asks him to meet har at a café in the evening
Ahaan was confused as to why she had called him to meet her.. in the evening.. Ishqi gets ready.. she wore a saree & obviously looked gorgeous with just minimal makeup..
S: haye.. boht pyaari lag rahi hai tu.. (puts a kaala teeka behind her ear with her kajal) kisi ki nazar na lage.. jaa.. enjoy kar.. all the best..
I: achha ab mai chalti hu.. wo wait kar rahe honge..
S: oh ho.. wait kar rahe honge.. (Ishqi glares at her) ok fine.. ab jaa.. aur sunn.. saath mein ek picture click zaroor karna.. ek romantic pose mein.. mujhe dekhna hai ki lovey dovey hoke tum dono kaise dikhte ho..
I: bakwaas bandh kar.. mai jaa rahi hu.. bye..At the café.. Ahaan was waiting for Ishqi.. he was checking mobile thinking of whether to call her or not.. he now looks up & gets frozen as he sees Ishqi walking towards him.. he was lost in her.. he comes back to his senses when she goes near to him..
A: umm.. koi baat karni thi mujhse..? mujhe yaha bulaaya kyu..?
I: ha.. wo actually.. aap kaise hai..?
A: I'm fine..
I: aap duty pe nahi gaye..?
A(confused): gaya tha.. but then u called me here toh jaldi nikal gaya waha se..
I: hmm..
A: kya kehna..
I(interrupts): coffee.. aap coffee piyoge..?
A: mujhe coffee pilaane ke liye yaha bulaaya tha..?
I(nods no): nahi.. mera matlab ha.. matlab.. coffee pilaane ke liye nahi.. par if u don't mind.. hum pi sakte hai..
A: Ishqi.. I mean.. Dr. Ishqi.. all ok..?
I: ha.. ok.. sab ok hai.. aur.. aap mujhe Ishqi bulaa sakte hai.. (she says hiding her blush)
A: hum pehli baar nahi mil rahe.. so ye intro waala formality chodke point pe aa sakti ho.. baat kya hai..?
I: aapko kaise pata..?
A: policewaala hu.. ye jo baatein ghumaa rahi thi.. pata chal gaya mujhe.. ab matter pe aaye..?She takes a deep breath.. She reaches out & holds his hand..
I: mujhe nahi pata kab.. kaise.. par itne dino mein mujhe itna toh pata chal hi gaya ki aapke binaa mai kuch nahi hu.. idk aapne kabhi notice kiya ya nahi.. par ab mai apne feelings ko chupa nahi sakti.. pyaar karne lagi hu aapse.. I love u.. I really.. really love u..
He was just looking at her.. he didn'tknow how to react
I(smiles): ab aap mujhe aise hi ghurte rahenge ya kuch bolenge bhi..He frees his hand from hers
A: see.. I respect your feelings.. par jaisa tum soch rahi ho.. waisa kuch nahi hoga.. (her smile fades) hum dono ka saath mein koi future nahi ho sakta..
I: future nahi ho sakta..?
A: ha nahi ho sakta.. meri life humesha risk mein rehti hai.. kayi dushman hai mere.. tumhara apna career hai.. ye pyaar vyaar ka chakkar chodo aur uspe focus karo..
I: ek policewaale se pyaar kiya hai maine.. aur mera pyaar saccha hai.. toh agar uske liye jaan dena pade toh khushi khushi de dungi..
A(a bit loud): Ishqi.. (stands up) bas.. (Deepali had also once said the same thing & he lost her) aaj ke baad is topic pe koi baat nahi hogi..
I: aap.. aap aise kyu keh rahe hai..?
A: nahi karta mai tumse pyaar.. sunn liya..? I repeat, I don't love you..She gets teary eyed.. his heart ached to see her like this.. but he had to be strong now.. he doesn't look at her.. he wears his goggles to not let her notice his tears..
A: mujhe bhul jao.. and move on.. boht der ho gayi hai.. I think u should get back home..
Saying this he leaves from there.. Ishqi was completely broken.. after Ahaan left.. Ishqi didn't know what to do.. bcz she was in love for the 1st time.. she dreamt of leading a happy life with Ahaan & he had rejected her.. she was lost in her own thoughts & moves out of the café.. & kept walking not knowing where she was going.. that night..Ahaan was at a bar with Jay..
J: Ahaan.. kya hua hai..? Koi problem hai kya..? itna udaas kyu lag raha hai..?
A: aisa kuch nahi hai.. I'm fine..
J: come on bro.. tera shakal dekh ke itna toh mai bata hi sakta hu ki koi baat zaroor hai.. u know I can share with me..
A(sighs): Ishqi.. aaj Ishqi ne apni feelings confess ki.. pyaar karti hai wo mujhse..
J(happy): wow.. ye toh achhi baat hai na.. (smirks)
A: Jay no.. ab chedne mat lag jaa.. baat serious hai..He tells what happened..
J: what..? tu.. tu pagal hai? Tere dil mein bhi uske liye feelings hai na.. phir manaa kyu kiya..?
A: mai tujhe pehle bhi iska reason bataa chuka hu.. aur kitni baar batau..? (pause) Jay plz.. use samjha de na.. ki.. ki mai uske liye sahi nahi hu.. hum dono ka koi future nahi ho sakta..tu..tu samjha dega na use..?
Just then they hear some noise & go to check what it is.. they find a man down on the floor & a lady with a sandal in her hands.. they were shocked as she was Ishqi and she was drunk She warns the man..
I: this Ishqi is very very risky toh dobara mujhse kabhi panga mat lena.. samjhe..?Later Jay and ahaan went near her..
A: Ishqi.. ye sab kya hai..? Tum ise maar kyu rahi thi..?
She ignores him..
A: Ishqi..
Just then Jay signals him to keep quiet & that he would ask her..
J: umm.. hua kya hai..? I mean.. is maara kyu..
I: wo.. ye na mere saath zabardasti karne ki koshish kar raha tha.. par ise pata nahi tha na ki ye panga kis se le raha hai.. gussa aa gaya mujhe..toh bas achhe se dhulaayi kar di iski..
she was talking nicely with Jay and completely ignoring Ahaan.. He asked Jay to go home says he would drop Ishqi home.. Jay left..A: chalo mere saath.. mai tumhe har drop kar dunga..
I: nahi.. mujhe aapke saath kahi nahi jana..
A(holds her hand): don't create a scene.. chalo mere saath..
I: nahi.. maine kaha na.. mujhe nahi jana.. mujhe beer peeni hai..
She frees her hand & goes to the counter.. she takes a bottle of beer & was about to drink but Ahaan snatches it from her..
A: pehle se chald gayi hai tumhe aur ab tumhe ek aur bottle chahiye..? chup chap chalo tum warna uthaake le jaunga..
He manages to take her to the car..
I: aap hai kon aur kyu mujh pe apna dhonspatti chalaa rahe hai..?
A: mujhe baadme jaan lena ab chup chap baitho gaadi mein..She quietly sits in & he too sits in..
A: zara bataogi.. ki tum bar mein kya kr rahi thi..? aur itna piya kyu..? (she just looks at him..) kuch puch raha hu tumse.. jawaab do.. I(teary eyed): ha piya maine gam bhulane ke liye.. life mein pehli baar pyaar hua tha mujhe.. aur aaj mere pyaar ne reject kar diya toh bardash nahi hua..
Now silence prevailed.. he starts the car & begins to drive..
A: tum akeli thi.. wo bhi itni raat ko.. bar mein.. it was not safe..
I: akeli kaha..? Aap the na.. aur mujhe pata hai.. aapke hote hue mujhe kuch nahi ho sakta.. sabse zyada bharosa karti hu aap pe.. aur aap mere feelings ko reciprocate kare is na kare.. I'll always love you..He looks at her for a moment & then continues driving.. while she was adoring him.. few mins later the car stops infront of her house.. he sees that she had already fallen asleep as she was intoxicated.. he tucks the lose strand of her hair behind her ear.. and gently caresses her cheek.. she smiles in sleep..
A: I'm sorry Ishqi.. I'm sorry chahte hue bhi mai tumhe apne life ka hissa nahi bana sakta.. ik tum is waqt boht hurt ho.. but I can't help it.. (pause)waqt tumhare saare zakhmon ko bhar dega Ishqi mai ye tumhare liye hi kar raha hu.. Deepali ko toh kho chuka hu.. ab tumhe nahi kho sakta.. aur agar uske liye mujhe tumse dur jaana pade toh mujhe wo manzoor hai.. aur tumne kaha tha na ki u'll always love me.. mai bhi.. mai bhi tumse pyaar karta rahunga par chupke..kyunki majboor hu.. apna pyaar jataa nahi sakta.. confess nahi kar sakta..He leans & kisses her forehead.. he then quickly wipes his tears & gently carries her in his arms.. He rings the door bell..
Siya yawns as she opens the door..
S: yaar Ishu.. kitna late kar diya tu.. (she stops as she sees Ahaan) sir.. aap..? Sorry sir..
A: no no.. it's ok.. Ishqi ka room..?
Sits points towards the room.. & he goes..
S: wow.. Ishu.. sir ki bahon mein..haye..kitne cute lagte hai dono saath mein.. made for each other types.. kal puch lungi Ishu se.. ki kya kya hua..
Ahaan puts Ishqi on the bed & covers her with the duvet & moves out.. he goes to Siya..
A: Siya ryt..? (she nods) kal subah jab Ishqi uthegi toh use nimbu paani pilaa dena. hangover utar jaayega..
S: hangover..? she.. she's drunk..?
Ahaan just nods yes & then leaves..To be continued...
