Chapter 32: The Confession (Part-1)
ABHIJEET's Flat: ABHIJEET' Room -
After having a quick bath RAJAT was changing to his own cloths from ABHIJEET's PAJAMA, when someone opened the door entering the room without any warning.
The person saw RAJAT shirtless and screamed.
RAJAT screamed back seeing the person hiding behind the bed head quickly putting on his T-shirt.
Other side in the bathroom water spits out of ABHIJEET's mouth at the scream, who was peacefully gargling after brush and comes out of the room to see PURVI standing in the middle of the room and RAJAT behind the bed head asking: What happened?'
Seeing ABHIJEET, RAJVI screamed together and ABHIJEET realized he was shirtless and ran back to the bathroom to come back in a second wearing his T-shirt.
ABHIJEET: What happened? Why were you two screaming?'
PURVI showing RAJAT: I screamed seeing him.'
RAJAT showing PURVI: and I screamed seeing her.'
PURVI: I came in to clean the room.'
RAJAT: I was changing clothes and she came without knocking.'
PURVI: BHAI doesn't wakes up this early in the morning. So, I thought I will quietly clean the room and leave before he gets up.'
RAJVI looked at each other and ABHIJEET at the two.
ABHIJEET clarified to PURVI: Actually he came with me last night. You were asleep, so I didn't wake you.'
RAJAT and PURVI looked at each other and RAJAT remembered what had happened to him after her confession.
Flashback –
College: JANMASHTAMI Function Day -
RAJAT with his hand on his pounding heart come out of the auditorium after PURVI's performance.
He was thinking about the moment how she confessed her feeling at the infirmary and his trance broke with his head hitting with a lamp post in front of him on the way of the building gate as he held his nose in his hand looking up.
The girls around giggled at him who were witnessing him all the while walking lost in his own world on the way before hitting the lamp post.
People's smiles are a rainbow light on this street
It makes me smile as well
RAJAT looked at the giggling girls and shyly smiled at them.
At the pleasant breeze, the flowers flutter with joy
Greeting everyone step by step
He walked through the gateway looking at the beautiful flowers bloomed either side of the gateway to pick his little customers from school.
The road leads me to you shines like that sunshine
My heart is beating
I want to confess to you today
I practiced a thousand times
He drove through the highway remembering the moment, the sound of her anklet bells stopped his feet and he looked at her moving gracefully to the dance moves finally meeting her full of love longing eyes with his and he lost his heart to her then & there only without any doubt.
Hello my love!
I always looked at you
I think about you all day
I'll shout out loud for you
Beautiful... Beautiful...
I'm happy with you here
Beautiful... Beautiful…
RAJAT was lost in PURVI's pearls of laughter of yesterday drenching in the rain after her confession to him that was still echoing in his ears bringing a heart fluttering feeling to his heart with a never ending smile on his face.
The whole world becomes clear
Beautiful... Beautiful...
I sing for you till the end of the blue sky
So that you can hear
Beautiful
RAJAT comes out of his reverie with a jolt by the twin school kids SATYAM and SHUBHAM at the backseat of his taxi in between the loud noises of vehicles and horns and looked out of the window to see a long queue of vehicles behind him realizing he has almost caused traffic jam at the traffic signal.
He smiles to himself being an idiot with the newly felt feeling of realization of love and drove away.
College: Auditorium -
I can hear the sound of your footsteps from afar
Why are you so lovely?
Other side PURVI was in the green room after changing into her casual outfits and felt a familiar feeling and come out of the room to see RAJAT at the auditorium talking to RADHEN and couldn't help but just stare him.
I can hear the sound of my heart beating loudly
I'm blushing
RAJAT saw PURVI and smiled bowing his head a little in respect making her heart flutter.
Hello my love!
I always looked at you
I think about you all day
I'll shout out loud for you
Beautiful… Beautiful…
I'm happy with you here
Beautiful… Beautiful…
PURVI couldn't help but smiled at him thinking about all the time he managed to win her heart by his little-little gestures and felt blessed to have him in her life.
RAJAT walking to PURVI said: If you are done then I will drop you home first.'
PURVI held his hand: I am done. Let's go.'
RAJAT looked shocked.
PURVI: What? Are you nervous to hold my hand?'
RAJAT: I am scared.'
PURVI: Why?'
RAJAT: What if your brother shoots me?'
PURVI: He won't. He only gave me the idea to confess you right away.'
RAJAT: Did he?'
PURVI nodded: Hm.'
And she lead him out of the auditorium with his hand in her.
PURVI: Won't you say anything?'
RAJAT stopped in front the building and looking at her said: I feel for you but It's... It's weird to say... I don't know what to say to you in return?'
RAJAT looking at her said: I have never seen people in love. I don't know how to like someone or love someone. How can I say it to you when I am myself not aware how to keep them?'
PURVI looking at him said: It's my first time too. Even I have never seen anyone in love before seeing DAYA BHAI and BHABHI. They laugh, smiles, and share every little-little happy moment with each other and also faces their problems by always being each other's side. They even fight a lot but at the end of the day they forget everything just looking at the smile of each other.'
PURVI looking in his eyes said: Life is very simple, just thinking about it makes it difficult. You don't need to do anything or change for me. Just be what you are to me because I like you for the way and what you are.'
RAJAT: What if I change someday?'
PURVI: People changes but not their love for the person they loves. If it's sad love, then I will be happy that I got to meet someone like you in my life and if it's happy love then it will be a beautiful life.'
She smiled at him and he couldn't help but smiled back at her.
The whole world becomes clear
Beautiful… Beautiful…
I sing for you
Beautiful… Beautiful…
Till the end of the blue sky
Beautiful… Beautiful…
PURVI gave her hand to him asking: Chalein?'
Looking at her hand RAJAT looks at her and kept his hand on her with a smile walking happily towards his taxi with her.
He opened the door for her and she gets in as RAJAT drove away with her to drop her to her house.
To the lovely you
Beautiful… Beautiful…
I'm confessing in a song
Beautiful… Beautiful…
I sing for you till the end of the blue sky
So that you can hear
Beautiful
They journey went in a pleasant silence as the song played in the radio telling everything for them.
Flash back end.
Present: ABHIJEET's Room -
The alarm went off as the clock ticked 6 o'clock in the morning at ABHIJEET's bedside table bringing RAJVI back from their trance.
ABHIJEET instinctively extended his hand towards the table to put off the alarm only to stop an inch away as his eyes went wide with horror seeing a lizard on the little clock.
In the meantime the other two also noticed it and three of them shouted at a time getting on the bed.
DAYA entered the room within a second hearing the ear deafening scream as if he was waiting outside only and sees three peoples on bed jumping and screaming exactly looking like the 3 monkeys of GANDHIJI.
PURVI covering her mouth, RAJAT covering his eyes and ABHIJEET covering his ears were screaming at top of their lungs.
Seeing DAYA, ABHIJEET asked him pointing at the lizard on clock: DAYA lizard... Lizard! Please move it... Quick... Quick... Quickly!'
DAYA went near the table and picked up the lizard in his hand smiling at it only to hear the three screaming louder than before.
SHREYA too arrived to the room covering her own ears at the screaming, who lives next door with her husband DAYA.
DAYA amused at the lizard in his hand, delightedly said to the three: ARE WAH! I kept it here to scare ABHIJEET but all three of you got scared.'
The three of the screaming person's faces fell at the comment.
PURVI pointing at the lizard in DAYA's hand asked in disbelief: it's fake?'
DAYA nodded with a cute smile.
RAJAT sighed pressing his palm on his thudding heart while ABHIJEET stared DAYA unbelievably.
ABHIJEET to DAYA: This is ridiculous.'
DAYA agreed: Yes it is... Being a CID officer scared of this lizard is really ridiculous.'
ABHIJEET: I meant being a senior officer doing such kind of pranks are ridiculous.'
DAYA laughed: Really? Why don't you just accept that you are afraid of lizard?'
ABHIJEET: Do you want to get a beating?'
DAYA mocked laugh: Haha..! Let's see who gets beaten. Last time you need to call CID to your rescue.'
RAJAT looking at PURVI asked: Really?'
PURVI shrugged with denying sound: Tch.. tch. He just called SHREYA living next door to rescue him from her husband.'
RAJAT nodded in understanding.
Other side duo kept bickering and finally SHREYA shouted: Stop it! Stop it both of you.'
The duo stopped startled at SHREYA with the other two's attention as well.
SHREYA angrily looking at DAYA: That's why you were waiting outside, right?'
Then looking at the three persons on bed, SHREYA said: I can understand PURVI's fear but you two too?'
PURVI looked at RAJAT: you too?'
RAJAT defended: Everyone has one fear in their life.'
ABHIJEET agreed: Exactly.'
Then looking at RAJAT, SHREYA asked: Why he is here this early in the morning?'
DAYA: TARIKA caught him at the rave party.'
ABHIJEET: That's why she threw him out of the house.'
PURVI asked RAJAT: You were in a rave party?'
RAJAT nodded negative: I was there to help them.'
SHREYA: You didn't tell her that you were helping us?'
RAJAT: It would have made her angrier than this.'
DAYA: Why?'
ABHIJEET answered for him: DAYA, everyone has their own reasons.'
DAYA looking at ABHIJEET understandd there must be a reason for it.
Note:
Song: English translation of Korean song 'Beautiful' from The Best Hit drama.
Don't worry TARIKA and RAJAT will patch up soon.
