Ankhon se Pyaar

Chapter 6 - Confrontation

Ahaan and Dev:(staring at each other stunned to even say anything).

Makhija: Dev sir inse miliye, yeh Anushka aur yeh Shikha. Kehne ke liye hamara staff hai lekin yeh log itna acha gaate hai ki humare hotel mein jab bhi koi party ya aise hi normal night hoti hai toh yeh log guest ke liye gaate hai.

Anushka: Hello sir.(looks towards Ahaan) Aree Ahaan tum yahan.

Makhija: Tum Ahaan ko janti ho.

Anushka: Haan woh hum Shimla se dost hai.

Ahaan:(hesitating) Haan…woh.

Makhija: Waise Dev sir yeh bhi humare talent show mein part lengi. Aur Anushka yeh hai Dev Ahuja, Ahuja Events ke malik.

Anushka:(gets silent and she and Shikha leave).

Dev: Mr Makhija hum yeh meeting baad mein kare please mujhe headache ho raha hai.

Makhija: Ji zaroor!(calls one of the workers) Ram Singh! Inko inke rooms dekha do.

In Dev and Ahaan's room - Dev is sitting on the bed stomping one of his feet on the ground and Ahaan is standing by the window

Dev: Tujhe pata tha Anushka yahan par hai. Isiliye tu force kar raha tha mujhe yahan par aane ke liye.

Ahaan:(turns around and looks at Dev) Pagal ho gaya hai kya. Mujhe koi idea bhi nahi tha ki Anushka yahan par hai. Aur pichle do saal se mila bhi nahi hoon usse.

Dev: Kabhi socha nahi tha ki usse ek din aisi mulaqaat hogi.

Ahaan: Dekh tujhe wapas chalna hai toh hum chale jayenge.

Dev: Nahi hum yahi par rakhenge. Bas uske kareeb nahi jaunga.

Ahaan: Lekin Dev tu uske aas paas reh payega usse baat kar bine reh payega.

Dev: Shayad nahi lekin yeh shayad yeh aakri baar hoga jab mein usse dekh sakunga, mil sakgunga waise tune woh-

Ahaan: jhijhak kyun raha hai bolna.

Dev: Tum logo ne mere jaane ke baad usse kya bola.

Ahaan: humne yeh bola ki hospital se nikal the waqt tera accident ho gaya aur tera bachna impossible tha.

Dev:(pauses)...Usne kaise react kiya.

Ahaan: Yaar Dev puri tarah se bikar gayi thi bicahri. Prem Uncle aur Anjali Aunty ne bahut samjhane ki koshish ki lekin uska mann hi nahi maan raha tha.

Dev: Lekin mein uske paas nahi jaunga usse mere paas hone ka ehsaas hai. Aur woh iss ehsaas ko pehchan thi hai.

Ahaan: Lekin roz uske paas rehna tu seh payega.

Dev: Sehna padega.

For the next 2 days Dev kept on ignoring Anushka, he would go away from the place where Anushka would be. Ahaan would look at that and sign in disbelief. However one day they finally interact.

Rehearsal room - Makhija and Dev are entering

Makhija: Yeh lije Dev sir, rehearsal room.

Dev: Hmm acha hai. Varun yahan pe rehearsals ki tayari shuru karwao.

Dev:(Dev's phone rings and he starts walking outside and bumps into Anushka).

Anushka and Dev:(pass each other looks).

Dev: I am sorry.

Anushka: I-I am sorry too sir.

Dev:(starts walking until Anushka stops him).
