DATE
Eight fifteen PM :
Someone rings Tarika's door bell.
Tarika, poking a finger in his chest oh so lightly: Oh yeh toh sach mein tum ho...
La, la la la la la, la la la la la la la
La, la la la la, la la la la la
Tu tu hai vohi dil ne jisse apna kaha
Tu hai jahan main hoon vahan
Ab to yeh jeena tere bin hai saza
O mil jaaye is tarah, do lehre jis tarah
Phir ho na judaa, haan yeh vaada raha
Abhi, confused : Matlub?
Tarika, blushing : Nai kuch nai. Mujhe lagaa veham hai.. tum itni jaldi kaise aagaye.
Abhi : Arey sorry ji. Woh aapke liye yeh kharid ke laara tha aur der hogayi.
He gives her a boquet.
Tarika : thank you Abhijeet. Andar aao na.
Abhi : Huh, nahi. Abhi hume bohot dur jaana hai. Chalien?
Tarika, gently placing the boquet on the table : Haan chalo.
They reach a lovely spot beside the beach.
Tarika : Itni dur aane ki kya zarurat hai Abhijeet?
Abhi : aaj toh special din hai Tarika Ji.. aur yeh jagah perfect hai iss mauk ke keliye..
Main aawaaz hoon to tu hai geet mera
Jahan se niraala manmeet mera
Tarika, internally : Aisa kya khaas hai aaj.. Kahi Abhijeet mujhse.. Na Na Tarika, too much expectation will result in heart break.
They walk towards their table which is located at a quiet place way from others. She looks around n finds there is no one else except for them.
Tarika, admiring the surroundings: yeh khuli hawaa, yeh samundar.. yeh jagaa kitni khubsurat hai na?
Abhi, Looking at her n then looking around : Haan bilkul aapki tarah..
Mil jaaye is tarah, do lehre jis tarah
O mil jaaye is tarah, do lehre jis tarah
Phir ho na judaa, haan yeh vaada raha
Tarika just gives him a shy smile. She could see he was being honest, it was written over his face. Is she so special for him? So special that he chose such an amazing place for their date? She looks away smiling. An official date, wow! Their evening had just began she was already on cloud nine. Only he could make her feel this way : happy, shy, excited, everything at once.
Tu tu hai vohi dil ne jisse apna kaha
Tu hai jahan main hoon vahan
Ab to yeh jeena tere bin hai saza
She decides to change the topic.
Tarika : Abhijeet.. Main isse pehle.. kisi k saat, I mean kisi larke k saat aise.. Aise dinner pe nai gayi. Woh aaj bhi Sayjog ek project k baare mein baat karraha tha aur India aaneke khushi mein treat dena chahta tha. Aur mera achha dost tha toh uske saat..
She looks up to see he's smiling down and her, waves of mirth dancing across his eyes. Is he happy just because she never went on a date?
Tujhe main jahan ki nazar se chura loon
Kahin dil ke kone mein tujhko chhupa loon
Abhi, still smiling : Achha..
Tarika, looking down : Haan..
A waiter comes there and Abhi shoos him off.
Abhi : Kuch das pandrah minute baad order karenge ok. thank you.
The waiter leaves.
Abhi : Waise kaha the hum? Haan toh yeh sab aap mujhse kyu keh rahi hai?
Tarika, feeling awkward : Woh bas.. aise hi.. Kehne ka mann karra tha.
Kabhi zindagi mein pade mushkilein to
Mujhe tu sambha le, tujhe main sambha loon
Abhi : Aap kisi aur k saat nai gayi. Lekin mere saat jaana chahti thi ?
It was as if he was teasing her.
Tarika, embarassed : Hmm.. nai aisi baat nai hai. Woh aaj hum saat lunch nai karpaye aur main apne dost ko udaas nai karna chahti..
Abhi : Waise main bhi apne doston k saat lunch dinner karna pasand karta hu. Lekin..
Her smile drops and she looks up. Abhi puts up a serious face.
Tarika : Lekin..
Abhi : Lekin aap ek larki hai.. aur .. hum.. aise..
Tarika, confused : Aur hum..
Abhi : Kaise kahu..
Tarika begins to feel where it's heading and smiles, waiting for him to continue. Abhi looks at her and he could see all the love she has for him and how hopeful they were.
Abhi : Aaj keh deta hu. Yeh.. yeh lunch karna, dinner pe jaana.. Lab mein meethi meethi baatein karna.. yeh sab, yeh sab main aur nai kasakta..
He watches as her expressions change from confusion to shock and anger.
Tarika : Kya.. K.. Kya matlub?
Abhi : Tarika Ji. I'm really sorry. Main yahi kehna chahta hu ki..
Tarika just couldn't stand anymore. She jumps to stand up and Abhi could feel the anger radiating from her.
Tarika : yahi kehna tha tumhe? yeh hai woh special baat?
He smiles. Oh she looks damn cute when she's angry.
Abhi : Actually haan yahi hai..
Her hopeful expression turns into a hurtful one.
Abhi goes on : yahi kehna tha mujhe. Aise, Aise kab tak karta rahunga aap k saat. Sach toh mujhe kehna hi tha..
She looks at him as he comes to stand in front of her. His eyes were just as honest as ever. So this is it? Her eyes become teary.. He's gonna end it even before it began. Why?
Tarika, in a low voice : K.. Kyu..
Abhi, with full honesty: Kyu ki pyar hogaya hai mujhe kisi se. Main.. Koi hai meri zindgi mein jisse main khud se zyada pyar karta hu. Aur jis ladki se main pyar karta hu.. usse yeh sab pasand nai ki, main kisi aur ladki k..
She's teary eyed now. She gasps unable to believe what he's saying. Why did he make his way in to her heart? Just to break it into pieces?
She turns away abruptly and begins walking off. She couldn't show her weakness, she will never break down in front of him.
Abhi, feeling bad now : Arey Tarika Ji rukiye na.. Kahan jaari hai? Meri baat abhi puri nai hui. Mujhe lagaa aap iss dost k liye khush hojayenge, lekin aap gussa hogayi. Aap jaanna nai chahengi ki kaun hai woh jisne humare dil chori ki?
Tarika, biting back tears : Mujhe kya farak padta hai..
Abhi : Come on Tarika Ji. Aisa mat kahiye. Main aapko itna dur leke aaya aur aap bina meri baat sune nai jaa sakti..
Tarika was feeling restless. All she wanted was to run away to a secluded place and cry. But yeah she wanted to know who this new girl was and how she managed to ruin years of their special bonding.
Tarika, turning to him, smiling a bit : K.. Kaun hai woh?
He smiles. His angel was such a brave girl. She managed to smile even while her heart was breaking inside. If Only she knew he could hear the sound of her heart.. and feel her pain. He hated himself for hurting her now..
Tarika : Bolo na..
Abhi : hmm.. tum usse jaanti ho.
Tarika, hiding her pain : CID mein kaam karti hai?
He nods.
Tarika : Mumbai mein?
Abhi : hmm.
Tarika : Inspector hai?
He shakes his head and smiles.
Abhi : nahi woh ek doctor hai. Forensic mein..
Her eyes become hopeful again.
Tarika, very low voice : Dikhne mein kaisi hai woh?
Abhi : Bohot khubsurat..
He tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear and she blushes.
Tarika could guess who this could be. She could see it in his smile.
O mil jaaye is tarah, do lehre jis tarah .. Phir ho na judaa, haan yeh vaada raha
Tarika, smiling a little : Uskaa naam?
She's still a little scared. He could see it in her eyes.
Abhi : Dr. Tarika..
He smiles widely and she gasps letting those tears that she was holding back fall freely. She was half smiling, half crying. Then she laughs and hits him playfully. He cups her face, wipes those tears. His eyes become moist too due to happiness. He had never been so happy. Never so lost in love.
Abhi : Tarika Ji. main chahta hu ki apni zindgi ke saare pal aap mere saat ghusare.. aap k upar kabhi koi musibat na aaye. Aur agar aaya Toh aap se pehle mujhe se saamna karne. Kabhi nai chahta ki aapke aankho mein aasu aaye, aur agar aaye toh unki nami meri ankhon mein mehsus ho. Main chahta hu ki meri har woh khushi aap ko mile aur aapke saare ghum mujhe. Kya aap mujhe ek mauka dengi?
Tarika, regaining her composure : y.. you! Abh.. Abhijeet k bacchhee!
She's angry now. He has proposed her after scaring her so much. How dare he! She reaches out showering punches over his chest. He laughs as her punches were all feathery light, each one full of love.
Tarika : tumne.. mujhe.. itna..daraaya. I hate you Abhijeet. Jhoot bolre the ki kisi aur se pyar karte ho...
She was emphasizing each word with a punch.
Abhijeet : hey oww. Arey shaant hojao.. Main sach hi keh raha tha..
He sees how She's smiling and engulfs her in a passionate hug.
Abhi : I'm sorry. I'm sorry maine Mazak kia. I love you..
She hugs him back smiling, burying her head in his chest.
Tarika, her eyes closed : I love you.
Tu tu hai vohi dil ne jisse apna kaha
Tu hai jahan main hoon vahan
Ab to yeh jeena tere bin hai saza
O la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
Phir ho na judaa, haan yeh vaada raha
They both stand still for a while hugging each other, feeling contented.
Tarika, whispering : Kabhi Aise mazak mat karna..
Abhi : Nahi.. Kabhi nai karunga.
Yeh vaada raha
