Dosti hi pyar hai (Complete)

Chapter 44

Faiz made way for Raj to enter and took him to his room. Faiz had called the whole group to help him with gift packing for his cousin's wedding but only Raj was available, the others said that they were busy which was totally intentional (but Faiz didn't know). Faiz and Raj sat on Faiz's bed with boxes of dry fruits around them. They had to pack those boxes with pretty wrapping papers.

Faiz: Aaj hi sab ke sab busy h.

Raj: Chhod na. Main hoon na help karne ke liye.

They started packing those boxes while talking about random things.

Raj: Usually tu aur Jaan toh saath aate ho na college? Aaj kya ho gya tum dono ko?

Faiz: Bas usey Sid ke saath jaane ka man tha.

Raj: Nahi yaar kuch toh weird hai. Tum dono ke beech kuch toh hua hai.

Faiz: Tu zyada soch rha h. Kuch bhi nhi h aisa.

Raj: Dekh tu bata sakta h mujhe. Mai in cheezon mein achha hoon.

Faiz: Toh pehle khud ki zindagi sudhaar.
Raj jokingly: Tu kitna mean hai.

Faiz giggled at his overacting.

Raj: Jisne galti ki hoti h na woh dusro ko better advice deta hai.

Faiz faked a smile but from the inside he was deep in thought. He knew that he can't avoid Jaan forever, he had to do something quickly. So, he decided to spill it to Raj.

Faiz: Actually humare beech kuch sach mein hua hai.

Raj: Kya hua?

Faiz: Ja- jab hum log woh dance club ke audition ke liye gye the woh khatam hote hote kaafi late ho gyi thi. Aur phir baarish bhi hone lagi.

Faiz paused after saying that he was thinking about how to put it.

Raj: Don't tell me tum logo ne woh kiya.

Faiz: Tujhe kaise pata?

Raj: Tum log beech sadak mein kaise shuru ho sakte ho? Protection toh use kiya...

Faiz understood that him and Raj were not on the same page so he cut him off mid sentence: Paagal hai kya. Humne kiss ki thi bas.

Raj: Toh waise bolna chahiye na.

Faiz: Mujhe kya pata tha tu kuch bhi assume kar lega.

Raj: Toh tu usey like karta h ya nhi?

Faiz: Ha.

Raj: Toh problem kya hai?

Faiz: Jab us raat maine usey ghar drop kiya toh usne mujhe bye bhi nhi bola. Chali gyi bas. Woh mujhe avoid kar rahi hai. Matlab woh mujhe like nhi karti.

Raj: Tu usey khud se kitna dur krega? Tu usey apne dil ki baat bata de. Warna tu kabhi move on nhi kar payega. Aur kya pata woh bhi tujhe like karti ho.

Faiz: Nhi karti woh mujhe like. Agar mai usey apne dil ki baat bata bhi du toh mai reject hi ho jaunga. It will only get worse.

Raj: Mai apne experience se bol rha hoon, isse worse kuch nhi h. Tum dono ek dusre se dur bhaag rhe ho, isse bura kya hoga? Aur kabhi kabhi aisa bhi hota h ki woh ladki avoid kar rhi ho kyu ki usey pyaar ho gya h tere se.

Faiz: Mujhe bohot dar lag rha h.

Raj: Sab theek hi hoga. Atleast tum dono kal ek dusre ko avoid nhi kar rhe hoge.

Faiz: Tu Anu ko apni feelings kyu nhi batata?

Raj: W- woh sab bohot complicated hai.
