PART NINE

Virat collapsed into his bed. He buried his head in the soft plumage of the pillows.

"Why! Kyon bura lag raha hai! " he cried, sitting up in his bed.

What did he deserve to feel this way? Why did it hurt him?? To see her.. with him! There was no denial now, it certainly was killing him inside everytime he saw her with Prem and the whole dinner thing was even more devastating.

He took a deep breath. He needed to calm down, its bhai's shaadi.

"Oye, Virat!"

Virat groaned as his bhai walked in.

"Jeevika keliye gift dhoondhna hoga yaar! I mean, kal karvachaut hai toh.. dunno, bas kuch dene ki soch raha tha! Maanvi se poochna chahtha tha par.. voh Prem ke saath kahin bahar jaa rahi thi aur-"

"Maanvi jaarahi hai, toh mujhe kya!!"

Viren's eyes widened at Virat's outburst, "bhai.. kya hua, you okay?"

Virat took a shaky breath, "sorry bhai! I'm okay!"

"Agar koi problem ho toh.. you can share! You know.." Viren smiled.

"I know.. toh aap kehrahe the.." Virat smiled back.

"Prem aur Maanvi saath saath ache lagthe hai, khair.. chodo! Gift yar.. gift ke baare mein socho!"

Virat decided to ignore the first part. He helped his brother pursuading him that a pendant or a pair of jhumkis would be the best. The topic of Prem was forgotten.

~~~ Half an hour later


Maanvi sighed. Virat was confusing her! It was only yesterday, he acted all sweet and now! He's back to being a git!

* Flash back*

"Beeji.. bas ek baar please! Puja, Prem sab aa rahe hai!" Maanvi whined.

Beeji glared at her.

"chachu, pls.. aap kaho na! Ek baar ke liye! Pls mujhe jaane dijiye!"

"Chori chupi.. us ladke ke saath tujhe jaane ki zaroorat kya hai! Tujhe mujhse poochna chahiye tha! "

Maanvi grimaced, "Prem, Puja sab.. mere dost hai! Maine vaada kiya ki..."

"Phir bhi! Swamini ko yeh patha chala toh kya hoga? Socha tumne? Nahin na!"
Beeji went on, "accha hua, Virat ne mujhe sahi vakht pe sab bataa diya! Varna-"

Maanvi cried, "Virat?"

"Haan! Tujhe patha hai usne kya kahan! Yahin ki hume hamari choti ko control mein rakhna hoga! Maanvi.. dekho tumhari vjay se hume kya kya sunna pad raha hai!"

*end*

Virat complained against her. But why!

"Tum aaj bahut khoobsurat lag rahi ho!" he smiled at her, while speaking in a low voice,"bahut zyaada!"

She smiled at the memory. She couldn't believe he made her blush! He was acting all sweet and if she didn't know him she would have thought that that he fancied her!

"Khaaskar, jab tum aisi sharmaathi ho, toh.."


"Tum aise jab bina ruke bolthi rehthi ho.. toh aur bhi zyaada! Bataa na zaraa.. Ithni phikr hai meri? "


She found herself smiling dreamily.

"Didi! DIDI!!"

She frowned, pulling herself out of the day dream.

"Di, beeji ne permission diya! Puja di aapko bulaa rahin hai!" Dabbu smirked, "patha nahi kahan kho jathi hai.. kabhi kabhi!"

Maanvi smacked her head, "chep kaheeka! Dekho tum ne phir se mujhe phasaa diya!"



Puja somehow pursuaded the old lady and Prem squealed.

"You're the best Poo! Plan perfect hai! Tumne dekha Virat ka chehra dekha.. bichara!" he laughed.

"Phir bhi.. use pareshan karna chodo na.. voh humara dost hai!"

"Dost hai, isiliye madat karrahe hai!" Prem replied. Atul and Shekar nodded, "chup raho.. Maanvi aa gayi!"


Maanvi walked in smiling, "toh chalein!?"

Prem glanced at his watch, "sure! Par... ek minute!"

Just then a distraught Virat stepped into the hall, his eyes immediately landing on Maanvi.

"Oh.. ha! Ab hum jaa sakthe hai!" Prem gave a sly smile, taking the girl's hand, "chalein Maavi?"

The girl nodded, "chalo!"

Virat watched as the gang disappeared from his sight.

~~~

A moment later~

"Beeji paagal jo gayi hai! How could she let her go with a bunch of guys!" Virat wondered a loud, "Prem, woh toh! Well, isme galath hi kya hai... Maanvi bhi shayad Prem ko pasand karthi hai!"

He grimaced. It hurt him so bad as if his heart just got crushed. He needed to clear his head.


He grabbed his car keys.

"Bhaiya!"

He turned around, "Shlok!"

"Kahan jaa rahe ho?"

"Long drive.."

Shlok pleaded, " main bhi aaoonga! Please!"

Virat looked unsure, "okay! Mamma ko bataake aana!"

Shlok jumped up on his spot and ran, "dheere se!"


"I'm ready! Lets go!" Shlok was back now, beaming at him.

Virat smiled as they walked out. Prem's car just turned around the corner and wondered, 'agar Prem date pe jaa raha hai toh.. ithne log kyon jaayenge! Dekhna hoga!'

He couldn't help but follow the car.

~

After fifteen minutes, he found himself and Shlok sitting by a table in Paradise restaurant.

"Oh wow! Main ice cream khaana chahtha hoon! bhaiyya! Please!"

Virat smiled, "okay! Par tumhe chup rehnaa hoga, teek hai, bilkul chup!"

Puja, Prem, Maanvi, Atul and Shekar were merely a few tables away. Maanvi suddenly began glancing around. Virat ducked under the menu card, hiding his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Prem walking up to take Maanvi's hand, as they moved to another table. Maanvi smiled as she conversed with him. Virat lost his apetite at the sight. Was this what they call jealousy? Why would he be jealous? He shook his head.

"Maanvi di!!"

"Chup..chup raho Shlok!" Virat covered the boy's mouth with his palm.

Oh dear! What if Maanvi noticed he had followed her!

They both quickly sqautted down, hiding below their table.

Maanvi looked around as he suspected. Virat grimaced. Prem was smiling as he eyed the surroundings. This was a bad idea! He needed to get out soon.

"Kya hai bhaiyya! Vaha di hai.. Prem bhaiya hai!" Shlok whined.

"Ab hum ghar jaarahe hai!" Virat announced, "don't worry ice cream khaane ke baad hi ghar jaayenge!"

He tip toed along the grassy path that led to the exit. He was almost close. Thank god he-

"Oh, hey dude!"

Virat grunted, 'no! no! Not him!'

Prem was smiling at him as he turned around.

"Oh yar! What a surprise! Tum yaha-"

Prem laughed, "okay! Zyaada smart banne ki zaroorat nahin! Tum humara peecha kar rahe the?"

Virat sneered, "peecha? Jaise koi aur kaam nahi hai.."

Prem smiled, "you can share! agar tujhe mera Maanvi ke sath bahar jaana pasand nahin toh.."

"Oh no! Mujhe isse kya?" Virat lied.

"Prem! Tum mujhe chodke.." Maanvi trailed off as she noticed the presense of Virat.

"Hum yahan ice cream khaane aye the!" Virat nodded, "okay chalthe hai!"

Shlok frowned, "par hum us lal gaadi ka peecha kar rahe the! Aur hum ne toh khaya bhi nahi!"

"Shlok beta! I'll get you two cornettos! Ab chalein.." Virat glared at the boy.

Prem raised a brow, 'plan kaam kar rahi hai!'

"He he .. okay! See you guys!" with that they hopped off.
Maavi sighed. Virat was confusing her. He didn't even look at her! It was the first time he didn't even say hello.

There hope you like it! Next part is on the way

Precap~

Its Viren Jeevika's shaadi.
"Sindur laaye ho beta..?"
"Nahi Vanshikaji.. abhi jaake laathi hoon!" Maanvi broke into a run.
"Sindoor mere paas hai maa!" Virat handed her the box and sneered, "vaise aaj kal tumhe Prem ke sivaa aur kuch yaad nahi rehtha hai na!?"
Maanvi blinked, that was just so rude, "I'm sorry. Galthi se.. "
"Di ki shaadi ke baare mein bhool gayyi! Prem ke saath dinner pe jaana toh yaad hoga hai na.."
"Tum bar bar Prem ko beech main kyon lathe ho?"
"Kyon? Oh haan! Tum dono toh well.. Patha nahi donon ke beech mein kya hai?..kya chakkar hai tum dono ka?"
SMACK! Maanvi slapped him, tears gathered in her eyes, "mere aur Prem ke beech kya hai.. yeh humari aapsi mamla hai!" And she ran.
Just then Prem walked in, his eyes widened. This wasn't the part of plan.
He cornered Virat, "apne gussa doosron pe nikalne se kya hoga? Pehle soch! Kyon bura lagtha hai tumhe.. voh mere sath date pe jaathi hai toh tumhe kya? Woh mere saath baat karthi hai toh kya problem? Aaj tum shayad use rok loge.. magar kal? Main pehle se dekh raha tha.. tumhari problem kya hai!? Kyoun tumhe-"

"KYON KI MAANVI SE MAIN PY- " Virat closed his eyes, as he leaned against the wall. Did he really love her? Where did that come from?
Prem smiled, "hmm.. pyaar huh?"

Virat glared at him.

"Okay.. bas sochna aur ho sake toh Maanvi se maafi maangna!"
