AWARD EVENT,

Host: So the next award is for the best couple. Any guesses???

Everyone cheer for their favorite couples.

Host: The award goes to Karan Singh and Aliya Kapoor for their show" Pyaar"(is se achha naam nahi soch saki mai unke show ke liye😅)

Karan and AK go on the stage and receive the award. Karan gives a Thankyou speech to their team and all.

Host: Aap kise Thank karna chahengi AK?

AK: Well, I would first like to thank the entire team who work for the show entire day and night infront of the screens, behind the cameras and each and everyone involved, all our fans who showered their love on us and most importantly my co actor Karan, this award is nothing without you. Each day I learn something new coz of you. I still remember I was new to the acting field but then how you supported me and we together made this award today. Thank you.

Host: A big round of applause for AK's beautiful speech. Lekin ye award ek romantic dance ke bina adhoora hai. Kyun, sahi kaha na??

All the fans cheer up. They both do a casual romantic dance(I know casual and romantic can't be together 😅)

Host: Waise I wanted to ask ki aap donon single kyun hai abhi tak, mingle hone ki taiyari kyun nahi ki?(in a comic way)
If you don't mind AK, mai bhi single hun ham donon mingle ho sakte hai (he continued.)

Karan: Arey yaar, yahaan mai pichle 5 saalon se line me hun, pehle meri baat clear ho jaaye phir aap apni dekh lena.

AK gives a slight smack on his shoulder.

Karan: I was just kidding.
Host: Anyways congratulations... you both may take your seat.

After an exhausting event, they both leave for their respective houses.

JINDAL BHAVAN,

AJ was in a bad mood and moves directly to his room. He didn't even had his dinner. Dadi comes to his room and sees him worried. He was sitting on the bed trying to divert his mind reading a book which probably failed. She goes to him and places his head on her lap. Tears started to form in his eyes and travels down his cheeks.

Dadi: Kya hua? Kis baat se itna pareshan hai?

AJ: Mujhe pata hai ki aap janti hai, to phir aap kyun pooch rahi hai?

Dadi: Tera man halka ho jayega. Bata de.

AJ: Aap jaanti hai na ki har saal mai Valentine's party rakhta hun. Pehle Antara ke liye rakhta tha jisse mujhse kabhi pyaar hi nahi tha. Phir Guddan aayi meri zindagi me, party hui lekin Antara ke naam par. Mai soch bhi nahi paa raha hun ki use kya mehsoos hua hoga ki uske hote hue maine Antara ke liye party rakhi. Phir wo chali gayi, ab bhi har saal party hoti hai, uske liye lekin ab wahi nahi hai. Lekin is saal mai party bhi nahi rakh paa raha hun. Mera pyaar phir se haar gaya Maa, haar gaya mai.

Dadi just caressed his hair all the time and prayed to Kaanha for his well being. At the time she realizes that he is asleep she left his room and heads towards the mandir.

Dadi: Hey Kaanha, ab bohot hogayi ye aankh mein choli, ab mai mere Lalla ko aur toota hua nahi dekh sakti. Mere bachhon ko jald hi mila dijiye. Jaldi...

With these prayers she goes to her room and gets drifted into sleep not knowing that God has already made plans to make the two souls meet.

NEXT DAY,
SCHOOL,

Ahaan: Arya, ye invitation hai. Tumhe apni family ke saath aana hai. Mumma ne bheja hai.

Arya: Kisliye?

Ahaan: Aaj shaam ko party hai, Mumma aur Karan uncle ke liye rakhi gayi hai. Mumma ne sab ko aane ke liye kaha hai. Wo tumhari family se milna chahte hai. Tum sab ko lekar aana shaam ko.

Arya: Thik hai. Lekin...

Ahaan: Kya?

Arya: Kal se Dadda gusse me hai, pata nahi wo aayenge ya nahi.

Ahaan: Tum pehle unse baat karna, agar wo nahi maane to mujhe batana. Ye Revati Maasi ka number hai, tum mujhe call karna.

Arya: Ok.

JINDAL BHAVAN,

AJ didn't go to restaurant today as he was in no mood to attend his meetings and works, so he postponed all his works to the following day. He was speaking to someone on his phone regarding his meetings.

AJ: Mai aaj nahi aa sakta, shaam ko to bilkul bhi nahi. Mujhe ek event me jaana hai.
Nahi ek minute ke liye bhi mai free nahi hun. Ok!

And after a long time of speaking he hung up his call. This was all heard by Arya who was standing outside his room to give him the invitation. She makes a sad face thinking that he will not be able to come to the party. He notices her and calls her in.

AJ: Arya!

Arya goes in.

AJ: Aap bahar kyun khadi thi, andar kyun nahi aayi?

Arya: Aap busy hai na, mai baad me aati hun.

AJ: Arya, idhar aaiye. Kuchh baat kehna hai?

Arya: Aap ko kaise pata?

AJ: (smiling) Mujhe nahi pata hoga to aur kisko pata hoga. Bataiye.

Arya: Angel ne bilkul sahi kaha tha.

AJ: Kya?

Arya: Mai kal unse mili thi, restaurant me. Jab chachu ne mujhe bataya ki aap gusse me hai to maine Angel ko bata diya. Tab Angel ne kaha ki aap ka gussa mujhe dekh kar ud jaayega. Abhi aap ne smile kiya na kyunki aap ka gussa ud gaya na. Haan?

AJ: Baat to sahi kaha Angel ne. Lekin aap kal ki baat mujhe abhi bata rahi hai.

Arya: Haa, aap ka mood kal achha nahi tha na isiliye.

AJ: Princess, aap mujhse hamesha baat kar sakti hai. Ab to mujhe aapki Angel se milna hai.

Arya: To chaliye milne.

AJ: Kab?

Arya: Aaj shaam ko.

AJ: Lekin....

Arya: Maine suna ki aap ko aaj kahin jaana hai, lekin sirf 5 minutes ke liye aap aa sakte hai na. Please.......

AJ: Arya,.....

Arya: Dadda please...... Angel ne invitation bheja hai, aaj shaam ko party hai, poori family ko bulaya hai. Wo ham sab se milna chahti hai. Please..........

AJ: No Arya.......

Arya: Dadda please sirf 5 minutes ke liye, usse zyaada nahi. Aap Angel se milne ke baad chale jaaiye. Ek baar unse mil lijiye. Maine unse last time promise kiya tha ki mai aap ko unse pakka milaungi. Please maan jaiye. Please.....

AJ sees the invitation and sees the venue. It's the same which he got from the movie cast and the same where he has to go to meet Guddan. Now he realizes that her Angel is in the same movie cast and the caller has asked him to come to the same party.

AJ: Arya...

Arya: Dadda, please maan jaiye...

AJ: Are meri baat to suniye.......

Arya: Mana mat kijiye na please....

AJ: Listen to m...

Arya: Please na....

AJ: Arey, mai aa raha hun.

Arya: Sachi!!!!

AJ: Ha, mai bhi isi party me jaane wala tha.

Arya: Haa. I love you so much Dadda...

AJ: I love you too. Abhi aap jaiye, rest kar lijiye phir shaam ko jaana hai na.

Arya: Ha. Mai baaki sab ko bhi bata deti hun.

AJ: Ok!

Arya: Bye, Love you Dadda..

AJ: Love you too...

DURGA'S ROOM,

Arya: Mumma!

Durga: Arya, tum yahaan.

Arya: Aap mujhe apna phone dijiye na mujhe Ahaan se baat karni hai.

Durga: Thik hai, lekin baat kya hai.

Arya: Ye hai invitation. Aaj shaam ko party hai, Angel ne, mera matlab hai Ahaan ki Mumma ne ham sab ko bulaya hai. Wo ham sab se milna chahti hai.

Durga: Thik hai, lekin tum ne AJ se baat ki?

Arya: Ha, Dadda maan gaye. Bas aap sab ko bata dijiye. Sab shaam ko jaldi se ready ho jaaiye ga, kisi ko bhi late nahi hona hai.

Durga: Ok!

Arya: Ab mujhe phone dijiye.

She takes her mother's phone and dials Revati's number. Revati picks up the phone.

Revati: Hello!

Arya: Hello! Maasi?

Revati: Arya..

Arya: Ha Maasi.

Revati: Aap ne call kyun kiya, aur aapke paas mera number kaise.

Arya: Ahaan ne mujhe aapka number diya tha. Wo hai kya, mujhe usse baat karna hai.

Revati: Ha, mai abhi use phone deti hun.

She calls Ahaan and gives him the phone.

Ahaan: Hello!

Arya: Hello Ahaan!

Ahaan: Haa, Arya bolo.

Arya: Dadda maan gaye hai. Ham sab aa rahe hai party me.

Ahaan: Sach me...

Arya: Ha. Thik hai phir shaam ko milenge.

Ahaan: Ok bye.

Arya: Bye.

VALENTINE'S PARTY,

AK, Revati and Ahaan reach the venue. AK and Revati are shocked to see while Ahaan is just mesmerized by the decorations around him.

AK:(with teary eyes) Is ke siwa koi aur jagah nahi mili thi party ke liye in logon ko.

Revati: Di, sambahliye khud ko.

They all get inside. The decorations were just amazing. All the people were dressed in black and red colour as it was the theme for the party.

(Imagine everyone as they were ready for AJ and Antara's anniversary post leap)

Each and every moment of her first Valentine party was screening in front of her eyes. Tears were flowing down through her eyes.

AK: Ek minute ke liye ab ham nahi rukne wale yahaan.

Revati: Di..

AK: Nahi rukna chahte hai ham yahaan. Bas jaa rahe hai.

She turns to leave but then she sees all of the cast coming and the producer just in front of her eyes.

Producer: How's everything going on, AK?

AK: Hmm... Fine sir.

Producer: Done with all your rehearsals for today's performance.

AK: Yep.

Producer: Go, get ready. The party is gonna start soon, you must be present at time with your sizzling performance.

AK: Sure, excuse me...

She leaves to the room.

Jindal family arrives and were mesmerized by the decorations. Everyone remembered the party they had with Guddan. Dadi was continuously praying in her mind to make them meet while here a pair of eyes were searching for only one figure, his life. Just then Ahaan sees Arya and goes to her. He takes the elder's blessings.

Ahaan: Aa gayi tum?

Arya: Kaise nahi aati, Angel ne bulaya hai.

Ahaan: Haa.

AJ: Aapki Mumma kahaan hai, Ahaan?

Ahaan: Wo ready ho rahi hai, unka performance hai.

AJ: Ok!

Arya signals him to bend down and he does.

Arya(whispering to AJ): Aap ko bohot jaldi hai Angel se milne ki. Haan?

AJ: Ab aapne to mujhe uske liye hi bulaya hai na.

Arya: Haa, lekin aap bhuliye mat aap bhi apne hi kaam ke liye aaye hai.

AJ: Haa.

AJ just checks all his surroundings searching for her.

Just then someone descends down the stairs, lights get dimmed leaving the only spotlight on her, music starts humming in the air and the lady in front of the people present started dancing to the tune. With all the cheers they could here, it was cleared that she was the only one, the charm of the party. But could AJ see her face. No, guess why? She was having a fancy mask covering her beautiful face. His eyes couldn't recognize her but his heart could recognize the presence of her around him. The people around him were completely indulged in her dance performance but he was the only one who busy in his own world, searching for her. The dance performance completes and she heads towards her room.

Her heart was continuously signaling the presence of him around her. She didn't wanted to meet him but how could she deny her feeling. She could neither leave the party nor could she wanna confront him or anyone from his family. Shrugging all her thoughts she goes to the party.

She meets everyone, some are her fans. She was having a whole hearted and friendly conversation with everyone but she was hardly able to control her heart signals which were always going towards the same direction. It's been an hour but still they haven't met. Well, it's probably difficult where almost half of the population of Indore is present.

She was walking towards the centre of the hall and just then she collides with someone but before she could feel the ground beneath her, someone holds her in the nick of time. Her heart skipped a beat, her eyes gets closed in fear, her hands automatically clutched the material she got and the only word that escaped through her lips which could barely heard by someone was "JINDAL SAHAB".
The next moment the lights get dimmed and the spotlight falls on the couple standing in the centre. They straighten themselves and were surprised and equally shocked to see each other. The only word which hardly manages to escape from him was "GUDDAN". His heart was running a marathon, his eyes were filled with happy tears and a content smile was playing on his lips. The surroundings were blurred for both of them. For now, they only had one world and i.e. the person standing in front of them. They both embraced themselves in each other and spend the most beautiful moment for now. After a moment of listening to each other's heart beats they moved back only to gaze at each other, to that face they were longing to see from years. Soon, reality shoves her in. She moves back with painful tears and memories. He was shocked but then ready to accept anything for her, only for her and only for her.

"Kyun kiya aapne aisa, saalon pehle jin haathon ko chhod diya tha phir kyun aa gaye unhi ko thaamne. Chale jaaiye yahaan se. Ab na hamein aadat si ho gayi hai aapke bina rehne ki, ab aapke saath rehkar khud ko takleef nahi dena chahte hai ham. Maana ki saalon guzar chuke hai us baat ko lekin wo zakhm abhi bhare nahi hai, abhi bhi taaza hai wo, ab aur gehre bhi ho jaayenge kyunki ab aap jo aa gaye hai. Kya kami reh gayi thi hamare pyaar me, poori shiddat se beintehaa mohabbat ki thi aapse lekin badle me kya mila hamein, dhoka. Galti ho gayi hamse, haan, galti hui ki hamne us insaan se pyaar kiya jis ke paas hamare liye hamdardi ke siwa kuchh bhi nahi tha, kuchh nahi. Pata hai kya, problem kis baat me thi, na hi hamare pyaar me, na hi aapke hamdardi me, bas ye shabd jo hai na "PEHLA", wo itna bhaari hota hai ki uske saamne baaki saare shabd halke pad jaate hai. Ham na hi aapke pehla pyaar the, na hi aapki pehli patni, jo thi wo itni bhaari pad gayi ki ham aur ham se juda har rishta halka pad gaya. Sahi kaha na hamne. Ab aur nahi, ab in sab ka na hamare upar koi influence nahi padta. Jo ho gaya so ho gaya, ab ham ne move on kar liya hai. Aap ne bhi kar hi liya hoga. Ab hamare aur aapke beech koi rishta nahi hai, ham donon aazaad hai. Aap apne raaste aur ham apne".
Tears were flowing through their eyes which showed each and every feeling they had for each other.....

All the lights were lit all he could hear was the loud applauds, which he could not figure for what purpose they were being played. He just looks at all around his surroundings. He sees her moving back, a few members came to her handling over the tissues to her. She gave him a smile, wiping her fake tears which everyone could say but were not. He wasn't able to collect the pieces around him. Just then he listens to some familiar voice speaking on the mike grabbing everyone's attention.

"So here's the iconic scene of our upcoming moving, hope you all enjoyed it". The director spoke which made him shocked more than being surprised.

Director: Fabulous job AK!

AK: Thank you sir but there's a problem, it wasn't Karan with whom I had to do the scene, WHO's HE?

The word "WHO'S HE" stabbed him a million times. "Didn't she knew, who am I?" Was the only question ringing in his mind.

Director: I am really sorry AJ for causing you the trouble. This was all probably acting. It's a scene from our movie which was going to be enacted in front of the audience by the leads. But seems there has been something wrong. You met Karan right, he was going to be present in place of you with our female lead, AK, but you have been replaced.

AJ: It's Ok!

This was all he could speak. His eyes were focused only at one face. "AK, isn't she my Guddan, my love, my life?". He asked to himself.

Karan: I am really sorry for what happened, I was in my room and when I came I saw you both staring at each other, I thought that the scene already started so I thought it's not good to interfere.

AK: It's completely fine, Karan.

Karan: Nice to have you here, AJ. Here you go, meet AK, female lead of our movie. You couldn't meet her in the restaurant as she wasn't there.

AK(forwarding her hand): Nice to meet you Mr. Jindal. I have heard a lot about you.

AJ (handshaking): Same here, Ms.?

AK: Ms. Aliya Kapoor. It would be better if you address me as AK.

AJ: Ms. Kapoor is fine.

The entire Jindal family comes there. She sees each and everyone and stucks at a single person, Antara. She is still here, makes her heart throb. She shrugs all her thoughts when she hears a voice, voice of her lifeline.

Ahaan: Mumma!(he goes and hug her)

AK: Aap thik hai na Ahaan?

Ahaan: Haa. Kya ho raha hai yahaan par??

Just then she hears another voice.

Arya: Angel!

AK: Arya. Mujhe Achha laga ki aap yahaan aayi.

Arya: Kaise nahi aati, aapne mujhe bulaya tha na.

AK: Haa.

Arya: Kaisi lag rahi hun mai (showing her frock)

AK: Bilkul meri princess ki tarah.(she kisses her) Aapki family?

Arya(goes to AJ): Ye hai mere Dadda, aur ye baaki ki family(showing the Jindal family).

AK gets shocked listening that....

=============================

P.S: At last, likh diya..... So, kaisa laga aap sab ko AKSHIYA'S first meet. Please don't curse me for writing the worst meet.....
