Continue from the last part:

Sitting in her office, Rajat was looking at a picture, with a serene smile on his face. The picture had teenage Rajat and Savi riding on Shantanu's (Savi's father) bike. He remembered that was the time when he decided he wanted a bike of his own. His father first hesitated as he found his son was too young to get a bike but Rajat was stubborn. He eventually got a bike on his 18th birthday.

Rajat used to roam around the town on his bike with Savi, without caring about time or day. Days were passing beautifully but then he was sent to college in London .

Taking a trip to the memory lane, Rajat thought how it's been long since they went on a bike ride. But it seemed difficult now to go any closer to Savi. Although Rajat didn't want to accept it but it was clear as day that he was attracted to Savi ...

"Jab bhi mai uske kareeb jaata hu yeh sab kyu feel horaha hai mujhe! Pehle toh kabhi aisa nahi hua. Ya phir hua hai and I didn't care to notice", Rajat was confused. "Nahi nahi, yeh sab nahi sochna hai. Rajat thakkar, get a hold on yourself."

He tried to focus on his work but couldn't, as his mind went to the yesterday's incident, when he was close enough to feel Savi's breath on his skin and how it made him feel like. he found his body acting on its own. At that moment, he couldn't think of anything right or wrong, as if he was under a spell. The fact that Savi didn't stop him once crossed his mind. But he felt like it was just justifying his wrong doing.

"Iss infatuation ke chakkar mein mai sab kharab nahi kar sakta mai Aur savi kya sochegi ke uske liye aise thoughts hai mere! But things are getting out of my hands", he shut his eyes in anguish.

Soon enough a knock on the door broke her chain of thoughts and

He looked up. "Sir , may i come in " Aman asked his permission standing at the door of his cabin .....

"Andar aa na yaar tu ", Rajat said ....

Rajat was having his lunch with Aman beside him who seemed to be in a chirpy mood.

"Toh kya socha tumne?", Aman asked, sipping on his coffee

"Kis bare mei?", Rajat said, taking a bite of food.

"Tumhare aur savi ke baare mein", he replied and Rajat choked on her food. Aman gave him water and rubbed his back, trying to control his laugh.

"kya ss..sochna kya hai!", Rajat managed to speak. Although it seemed like a harmless question, still for an unknown reason, Rajat felt uncomfortable. "Maine ek galati ki thi. And I would make sure that it won't happen again", he said lowering her head.

Aman held his shoulder in assurance and said, "you can feel guilty for how you behaved but don't feel guilty about your feelings. Woh galat nahi hai."

"Kaise galat nahi hai? Uske bare mein aisa kaise soch sakta hu mai? Rajat retorted back.

"Isliye kyunki pyaar karna kabse galat hone lag gaya?", Aman uttered, taking a bite of his Samosa.

"Kuch bhi bol rha hain tu aman ", Rajat said in an irked manner. "Isse tum pyaar kehte ho?", he added, indicating that it was only a physical attraction.

"Shayad tumhe yeh sab naya lag raha hoga, but you feel for her from a long time ago. Tum usse chahte ho, lekin uska ehsaas abhi ho raha hai, in every way", Aman voiced his observation. "Tum samjh rahe ho na?", he added.

"Aisa bilkul nahi hai", Rajat dismissed her claim sternly. "I was just attracted to her. Tum isse pyar ka naam dena bandh karo and help me to get out of this freaking mess", he added.

"Kya tum uske mamle mein overprotective nahi ho? Kya tum uske age dhal banke khade nahi hote ho, jaise ke woh tumhari responsibility ho? ", Aman tried to make him understand.

"Ha toh yeh sach hai. Savi ko mai koi bhi taklif mein nahi dekhna chahta hu. Aur yeh toh tumhare yaa lucky, tara , riddhi ke liye bhi ekhi hai. Isme aisi konsi baat hai jo tum mujhe yaad dila rahe ho?", Aman reasoned.

"Toh tum mujhe aur lucky ko bhi wohi nazar se dekhte ho, jaise Savi ko dekhte ho?", Aman provoked him. Rajat gave him a death glare in response.

"Aise look dene se mai darne wala nahi hu. Sach kya hai woh tum bhi jante ho", Aman spoke again. "Dosti aur pyaar mein ek bohut hi thin line hoti hai aur tum na uss line bohut pehle hi cross kar chuke ho, rajat babu ", Aman said with a smirk, indicating towards Rajat's previous actions.

Aur bhi clearly baatau?", Aman said.

"Tum Savi pe aise hukum chalate ho jaise uspar tumhara pura haq ho. Aur tum jab chahte ho, jaise marzi chahte ho woh haq jatate bhi ho. Tum chahte ho ke uska centre of attention tum ho. Uska sara waqt, sara pyaar, sab kuch tumhare liye ho. Tum chahte ho ke woh bas tumhari ho kar rahe. Shayad tum yeh baat mere samne accept na karo lekin inkar bhi nahi kar sakte", he added.

"Aur yeh sab tum mere ya lucky ke liye bhi feel karte ho?", he
asked contracting his eyebrows and Rajat shook his head sideways, still in daze.

He felt the loss of words because every word Aman was
uttering was true and it was overwhelming at so many levels. His
mind refused to believe what his heart already knew.
