Tere Mere Dil
…
Abhijeet was stunned seeing Tarika in black jeans with black jacket and white top. She was looking damn marvellous. Nevertheless he kept his thought to himself not knowing how she would take the compliment.
As she walked towards him taking long steps in hurry he took his eyes off her.
''I am so sorry. Bohot wait karna para..''
''It's oaky.''
''Par tum toh bohot punctual ho… ab late ho gaya..''
''Ab aur late naho isliye chaley?''
''Oh.. Haan… main thik lag rahi hu na?''
Abhijeet nodded. Both of them got into the car and Abhijeet drove off.
Inside the car,
''Ketne dost arahae hain tumhare?'' Tarika asked.
''IDK, actually Daya ne organize kiya hain. Mujhe kuch idea nahi ki kon kon arah hain."
''Achaa…. Ketna time rukenge ham waha?''
''Jabtaq tumhe acha lagega.. tumhe pasand nahi aya toh ham jaldi chale ainge.''
''Kaal mera morning shift hain.''
''Thik hain… phir toh aur jaldi ajainge.''
Tarika smiled.
''Ek baat kahu?'' Abhijeet seek permission.
''Haan.. ofcourse.''
''Tum achi lag rahi ho..'' Abhijeet smiled awkwardly.
''Oh.. thank you. Haan, Nidhi aur Rakhi bhi kehti hain ki this suits me.''
''Tumhare roommates ki hights toh tumse kam hain.. match keisey ho gaya?''
''Ye mere hain Abhijeet.'' Tarika said, offended.
''Oh… I am sorry… mu-mujhe laga ki tum…''
''Haan main jayadatar nahi pehenti … college mein, in fact hospital mei bhi khichkhich karte hain toh I just avoid. Par ab club wagera toh main wosab dress pehenke nahi ja sakti na… toh kuch pairs hain mere pass.''
''Tum aur club?''
''Haan… wo, Nidhi aur Rakhi ke sath kabhi kabhi…''
''And you don't drink?''
''Nah..'''
''Phir club kyu jati ho? Dance?''
''Árey nahi..'' Tarika laughed, '''Wo bas Nidhi aur Rakhi jid karte hain toh…''
''Kamal ki larki ho tum.. sach mein..''
Tarika smiled.
They reached the club. While entering Tarika encouraged herself to be confident in front of Abhijeet's friends.
''Tum yaha kabhi aai hou?''
''Ye bohot expensive hain Abhijeet. Main faltu ke etne paise kyu kharch karti..'' Tarika shrugged.
They passed the guard who saluted Abhijeet. He nodded.
''Tumse koi pass wagera bhi nahi manga!'' Tarika was amazed.
''Ye mera club hain Tarika..'' Abhijeet sated, taking her inside the club.
''Ooo… impressive. Phir toh Nidhi aur Rakhi ki lag gain lottery.''
''Lottery?''
''Haan… tum unse pasie thori loge yaha entry ke?''
''Seriously?'' Abhijeet laughed listening her.
''Matlab, paise loge? How kanjoos yaar!''
''Nahi nahi… matlab, tumne etna sweetly bola… ''
''Majak uda rahe ho mera?'' Tarika pouted.
''Arey nahi.. okay Sara se kehke un dono ke liye free passes bhejwa dunga.. infact tum tino ke liye hi…''
''Sach?''
''yeah..'' Abhijeet nodded.
''Billionaire friend ka kuch toh faida uthana chahiye na..'' Tarika smirked.
''I am happy to be used madam..'' Abhijeet bowed his head a little, making Tarika giggled.
''ABHIJEET…'' They heard Daya calling. Through the crowd they saw him waving at them. Both of them moved forward to join them.
''Wow… happy to have you here Tarika,'' said Daya. ''Tumne bataya nahi Abhijeet ki tum tarika ko bhi la rahe ho..''
''Last minute decision.'' Abhijeet said shortly.
''C'mon Intro toh karwao yaar..'' One of their friend said.
''Oh.. this is Tarika… My friend, actually childhood friend.'' Abhijeet introduced Tarika with his friends. ''And Tarika, this is jay, Ravi, Arun, Drishty, Keya, Rahul, Piya and that's Vijay.''
Tarika shook her hand with them one by one.
''Mujhe laga teri girlfriend hain.'' Rahul teased. ''Bohot dino se tera love life featured nahi hua media pe.''
''Guys please.'''Abhijeet warned them.
''It's okay Abhijeet.'' Tarika interrupted.
''Ruhaan and Ishika kaha reh gain?'' Abhijeet asked to divert the topic.
''Wo log toh bas busy busy…''
They chatted. Tarika felt like an outsider among them. Abhijeet was trying hard to keep her company but he was meeting his friends like after one year. Tarika could understand. So, she excused herself to find an empty Table.
Moments later she was joined by Drishty.
''Hey… '' Drishty sat down opposite to Tarika, ''what's the name… hmm..''
''Its Tarika.'' Tarika said politely.
''Umm… Sorry..''
''It's okay.'' Tarika smiled.
''What are you doing here alone? Let's go dance.''
''No… I am not in a mood.''
''Drink?''
''No.. I don't drink.''
''Toh yaha kya kar rahi ho?'' Drishty laughed.
''Actually Abhijeet bhi yahi keh raha tha..'' Tarika smiled.
Drishty thought she would irk Tarika but she seemed cool with the insult.
''Acha, juice hi pii lo.. I will bring you.'' Drishty left before Tarika could protest.
She returned after a few minutes with two similar colour juice. Drishty offered one glass to Tarika. Tarika took not to create any scene. Drishty again took her previous place.
Here Abhijeet got bit nervous seeing Dhristy with Tarika. He was about to move near them but Daya stopped him.
''Kaha?''
''Ye Drshty Tarika ke sath kya kar rahi hain yaar..''
''Usey company de rahi hain.. aur kya! Chill.''
;;Tu janta hain na DRishty ko.. kuch bhi bol degi wo ulta siddha Tarika ko… weisey bhi bohot mushkil se manaya hain isbar Tarika ko…''
''Tu aise utpatanf kam karta hi kyu hain ki phir mamana pare usey!''
Rahul joined them with another round of drink, making Abhijeet join them.
''Drink..'' Drishty encouraged Tarika to have a sip.
''Its okay. I am not thirsty right now.''
''Oh..'' Drishty shrugged.
''What do you do?''
''Me… My father owns multinational company. I have started working there.'' Drishty was getting high.
''Wow…''
''Yeah.. what do you do?''
''I am a doctor. Oncologist.''
''Ooh.. Doctor! Abhi ki taste kafi boring ho gayi hain..'' She laughed sarcastically.
''What do you mean?''
''He never used to date nerds.''
''We are not dating.''
''Acha… As if I can't tell what's going on inside Abhijeet's mind. We lived together for whole 6 months.''
''Lived together/'' Tarika drank from her glass sip by sip while talking to her.
''Did that affect you?'' Drishty teased her.
''No.. I mean… I just didn't know.''
''He lived with lot of girls. He dated a lot of girls. He slept..''
''Did I asked you about his love or sex life? Why are you telling me all this?''
''I wanted you to know before..''
''He had told me..''
''You are lying. Tell me then, how many girls he dated?''
''I didn't ask him in details. I do not need to know these stuff.''
''Good for you if you don't know.'' Drishty gulped the whole drink in one go.
Abhijeet joined them.
''Tarika..'' he bent towards her.
Drishty stood up and pulled Abhijeet near her. Holding him by his collar he looked into his eyes. Tarika stood up too, feeling dizzy.
''You heart breaker…'' Drishty shook Abhijeet, ''You left me like that. I was begging to you not to leave me.''
''Drishty that was decided. Don't make a fuss over it once again. I told you I didn't have feelings for you.''
''But I had..''
''Shut Up Drishty… You were playing with me and Auro at the same time and you are saying you had feelings for me? Wow! I at least didn't cheat on you in spite of not having any feelings towards you.''
''I.. I was trying to get rid of my feelings for you.''
''Don't lie Drsihty. You didn't have feelings for me. Now when I am famous and successful you are claiming that you have feelings for me. You never said these to me when we were in London.'' Abhijeet freed his collar from her grips.
''You are mine Abhijeet Kapoor. Mine.'' She shouted making the group rushed towards them. She lunged towards Abhijeet but Daya blocked her way.
''Drishty. C'mon, we are meeting after a long time. Why are you doing this.'' Said Daya.
''Daya, take her from here .. orna mujhse kuch ho jaiga.'' Abhijeet warned.
''Hey.. Abhijeet, mood kharap maat kar yaar..'' Said Vijay.
Suddenly Tarika held Abhijeet's arm tightly.
''Abhijeet.. I am …'' She almost fainted. Abhijeet held her.
''Tumne ise kuch pilaya?'' Abhijeet asked Drishty. She laughed. ''Kya mix kiya tumne Tarika ke drink mein.. Tell me!''
''Drishty bolo.'' Urged Daya.
''Kuch nahi.. bas.. thora sa hard drink.. she will be fine.'' Drishty herself lost her balance. Daya and Vijay held her.
''Tumhe toh main bad mein dekh lunga.'' Abhijeet gave her a look and helped Tarika outside the club towards the parking. Tarika vomited, ruining her and Abhijeet's dress.
''Sor.. Sorry…'' She fainted in his arm.
Abhijeet was confused where to take her. His apartment was nearer. But what would Tarika think about him if he took her there in this state. But, her apartment was far away and he won't be allowed in there plus her roommates were also out of town. His parents wouldn't be happy if he showed up with a drunk Tarika at their footstep. And also his mansion was the most far away destination from there. He took Tarika in his arms and settled her inside his car, deciding to take her to his apartment. The consequences- he would deal with them later.
