Phir Ek Baar

Jo Apne The

The next morning, Huda and Naina were having breakfast in a restaurant as they wanted to spend some time together. Huda will be leaving Shimla in a few hours and thought to clear few things with her.

Huda (in low voice) : "Naina, tu sach mae ek baar sochegi".

Naina looked at him and said

Naina : "Ha Huda, tujhe yakeen kyu nahi ho raha hain".

Huda (in unsure voice) : "Tu kahi Mummy Ji ya Alekh ki ke karan toh...".

Naina : "Kya tu mujhe nahi jaanta, meri marzi ke bina koi kuch kara sakta hain kya".

They smiled as know that no one can force Naina to do anything.

Huda (painfully) : "Bas lagta hain kahi tu mana na kar de".

Naina can understand his worry and said

Naina : "Huda, I have told you earlier that I don't know what I feel for you except that you are my really good friend".

Huda (smilingly) : "Mujhe pata hain main kya feel karta hu tere liye. Par tera nahi....".

Naina lowered her eyes and they quietly had the food. They both know Naina will take some time and he will wait for that. She dropped him at bus station and he hugged her tightly. This time she didn't stopped her. Huda was happy that at least she will think about it and has confidence that would accept him. While Naina always considers Huda as her good friend and questions herself, will it be better to have him in her life than a stranger. Huda gets on the bus and promises her to call when reach his base.

She drives back as today is Sunday and can finish some pending work. The last night dance with Sujal is not leaving her mind, his touch and eyes were different but was comparing it to Rajveer. She missed him more yesterday and believed for a second that he was Rajveer.

They didn't know that someone was watching them. He didn't like Huda touching or keeping her in his arms. He came here to parcel some stuff and froze when saw them together. Sujal was standing little bit away from them and turned back when Huda was looking at her with love. He quickly left the station and started driving but was still thinking why it matters to him, Naina is with Huda or going for a walk with him and holding hand tightly. He followed them yesterday night as was feeling uneasy to see her with him. Sujal still remembers her laugh when Huda said something as has never seen her so happy. With him, Naina is always serious and keeps a distance. He smiled after seeing her laughing and enjoying but felt a pinch in heart as she is relaxed with Huda and not with him.

Sujal was sitting at home and was reading a file when his phone rings. He picked up the call when saw Mumma on the screen.

Sujal : "Mumma, kaise ho aap".

Sujal's Mother (hesitating) : "Beta, main thik hu...Kya tu kuch der kae liye ghar aa sakta hain".

Sujal (in loud voice) : "Mumma, main waha nahi ayunga".

Sujal's Mother (in a low voice) : "Bahut zaroori hain beta, please aa jaa".

Sujal didn't want to go back to that house where was insulted but can't say no to his mother. He knows that there would be something important otherwise she wouldn't have asked him.

Sujal : "Thik hain Mumma. Main sirf aapke liye aayunga".

Sujal cut the call and left for the house where he used to live.

He pressed the bell but was thinking to return back as was scared to see them and that girl he loved. The door was opened by his mother who bring him in. He saw his father, Lalit Uncle, Vasu Aunty, Piyush who were sitting on the sofa in the living room while Rishi and Varun were standing behind them. Sujal greeted them and Lalit asked him to sit. He with his mother sit on sofa opposite to them. He was relieved not to see her and was waiting for them to speak.
