Ak (to himself)- tumhe mai nahi jaane de sakta babes, you can give me a lot..(smiled evilly)..kal tumhe aisa gift dunga ki tum uss 'close friend' ko bhul jaogi..!! (went)

The next day, Haseena called Anubhav to explain the next step of their plan..

HM- Aaj tum Shalimaar hotel aa jana..

AS- Kyun aap party de rahi hain?

HM- Nahi..🙄..aaj Akash ne humein wahan bulaya hai..toh tum bhi aana..

AS- Par hum apke saath aayenge toh usse shak nahi hoga?

HM- Puri baat sunni hai nahi, bas ek ek second pe react karna hai tumhe....(irritatedly)

AS- Sorry sorry..boliye..(nervously)

HM- Hmm..toh mai keh rahi thi ki Akash ne 6 baje bulaya hai wahan..toh tum bhi uss time wahan pahunchna ..par pretend as if hum coincidentally mil gaye..samjhe?

AS- Hm..theek hai..

6pm, Hotel Shalimaar

Haseena was waiting at the entrance..wearing a lavender one piece midi...with a purple clutch..she was looking classic..

HM(while looking at her watch)- Kitna unprofessional hai yeh..kabhi time pe nahi aata..

Anubhav arrived..wearing a purple three-piece..she was awestruck by his look..

AS- Itne bhi acche nahi lag rahe ki aap humein hi ghoor rahi hain, Haseenaji..(teasingly)

She came out of her trance..and looked at him annoyingly

HM- Aisa kuch nhi hai samjhe..chalo ab andar..

They went in..he stopped a bit far from her as per their plan..Haseena spotted Akash who was busy instructing something to a waiter..she tapped his back..

Ak- Hi Babes! Looking gorgeous...(hugged her..she hugged back, but didn't feel comfortable for the first time)

Anubhav noticed them hugging from a distance and he too didn't have any good feeling..

HM- Kyu bulaya tha humein yahan? (while getting seated)

Ak- itni bhi kya jaldi hai? (smiling slyly) let's have a drink first..waiter! (the waiter gave them drinks and winked at him)

Ak- Cheers!

Their glasses collided..and they drank the wine..after a few moments..she didn't feel right..

HM- Ham..hamara sar thoda ghum raha hai..(held her head)

Ak- aree wo itne dino baad drink kiya na shayad isliye..waise babes, I wanna give you something..(forwarded a blue velvet box)

HM- Kya hai ismein?

Ak opened the box to reveal a beautiful diamond ring..

Ak- 3 Cr ki hai..sirf tumhare liye..may I have your hand please? (forwarding his hand)

HM stood up immediately..

HM- Absolutely no! I know tum cheat kar rahe ho mujhpe..tell me your real plans, Mr. Akash Malhotra!

Ak- Real plans?! Baby, I love you..

HM- Just shut up! I loved you..par tum jaise insan se pyar karna meri galti thi..(disgustingly)

Ak- bas..aur beizzati nahi seh sakta main tumhari..itne gifts diye tumhe, lakhon kharch kiye tumpe..fir bhi itni akad?

HM- humne maange the gifts? humne sirf tine maanga tha..wo bhi thoda sa..tum wo bhi nahi de paye..chahte kya ho tum?

Ak- do cheezein, tumhari company ke 50% shares aur..

HM- Aur? (angrily)

Ak- tum..(while coming close to her)

HM- Door raho mujhse..(stumbled) ek toh pata nahi wine ke naam pe kya pila diya hai humein..theek se chala bhi nahi jaa raha..

Ak- kal subah bhi chala nahi jayega tumse..(holding her waist, pulling her close)..waise tum iss one piece mein kamaal lag rahi ho, baby...(lustfully gazing her)..apne uss close friend se door raho...aur aaj raat ke baad toh you'll have to marry me..fir toh close friend ka chapter hi close ho jayega..(tracing her face with his fingers)

Anubhav- Chhod dijiye unhe..(sternly)

Ak- tum kahan se aa gaye?! Aur mai kyun chhodun isse? (pulling her closer..she was half unconsious)

AS- hum phir se keh rahe hain chhod do unhe..(dangerously)

Ak- tumse darta nahi hun main..arre ek crore phekunga toh tum jute bhi saaf karoge mere!

A tight slap landed on his face..it was by the auspicious hands of our Haseena..

HM- Anu ke baare mein kuch nahi sunungi main.....(angrily)..yeh kabhi kuch galat nahi kar sakte...

Ak- Chup!! Tumse toh mein room mein niptunga..Abhay! (his PA arrived)..pakdo isse(gesturing towards Anubhav)

Abhay attacked him but was on the ground within 3 seconds..

AS- Koi aur nahi mila?

Ak was fuming in anger and attacked on him..Anubhav punched him on the face and kicked his stomach..Ak stumbled back..
Anubhav went towards semi-consious Haseena..and picked her up..she held his neck and literally hung on him..
Ak tried to attack but till then Haseena's bodyguards had arrived as per Anubhav's instructions..

Next morning, she woke up with a heavy head..She looked here and there..her clothes were changed..she feared the worse.. until she found a note..
---------------------------------------------------------
Apke saath kuch galat nahi hua hai, ye nimbu paani pi lijiye sar bhari nahi lagega..aur apke kapde hamari maa ne badle hain..Akash iss waqt Jail mein hai toh aap chinta mat kijiyega..MISSION COMPLETED!

-Anubhav 
---------------------------------------------------------

HM smiled seeing his care and protectiveness for her..she had already fallen for him but realised it now..

HM in mind- Jab realise ho gaya tab yeh mission bhi pura ho gaya..tch..(disappointingly)..ab kaise milun usse..haan, uske ghar jake usse thanks boldeti hun..aur uska payment bhi baki hai..

She went to his home..and rang the doorbell..for the first time she was nervous to meet him..

His mother opened the door and smiled looking at Haseena..

HM- Namasta Aunty..(smiled)

Maa- Namaste beta..aao na andar..(she came in) tabiyat kaisi hai ab tumhari?

HM- Bilkul theek..(smiled)..thankyou kal raat ke liye..

Maa- koi baat nahi..waise film ban gayi acche se? Anu ne accha kaam kiya na?

HM- Film? 

Anubhav came from his room and was shocked to see Haseena there..

AS- aa Maa..kshama kijiyega..humne ek jhoot bola tha aapse..(bowed his head)..Haseenaji koi producer nhi, ek company ki CEO hain..

Maa- jhoot kyun bola? (sternly)

AS- Humein laga aap ek businesswoman ke saath kaam nahi karne dengi humein..

Maa- galat kaam karne se mana kiya tha maine..(angrily)

HM- Aunty inhone koi galat kaam nahi kiya hai..hum batate hain..(she told the whole story)

Maa- yeh sach keh rahi hai Anu?

AS- haan maa..shat pratishat satya hai yeh..(sadly)

Maa- toh itna dukhi kyun hai? (cupping his face) main naraaz nahi hun tujhse..(smiled) bilkul theek kiya tune..

AS smiled wholeheartedly..her heart fluttered seeing his smile..

AS- Dhanyawaad Haseenaji..

HM- No problem..(smiled)..waise, maine tumhare paise tumhare account mein daal diye hain..

AS- Oh, theek hai, hum dekh lenge..Aur kuch?

HM- Haan, tumhe thanks bolna tha..kal raat mujhe bachaane ke liye..(smiled)

AS- Wo toh hamara farz tha..dhanyawaad ki avashyakta nahi hai..(smiled back)

HM- Wo..kuchaur bhi kehna tha tumse..(playing with her fingers)

AS- Kya?🤨

HM was about to say something, when the doorbell rang..

AS opened the door and a girl clinged on him..he smiled and held her..HM was furious seeing them so close..

G- I missed you!!

AS- Humne bhi bohot miss kiya tumhe..(while putting her down)...toh, kaise rahe 2 saal London mein?

G- bohot acche, par tumhare bina kuch incomplete tha..

HM coughed, They looked at her..

G- Koi problem hai kya aapko?

HM- Haan, bohot zyada..(muttered)

G- Jab apne aap se hi baat karni thi toh mujhe aur Ani ko kyun disturb kiya? (irritatedly)

HM rolled her eyes..

G- Waise Ani, maa kahan hain?

Maa came from kitchen..

Maa- Yahan hain..(smiled)

G went and hugged her..now HM saw her chances fading, the girl had good bonds with Maa too!

Maa- kaisi ho Smriti?

S- bilkul theek, aap? 

Maa- mai bhi..aao baitho na..

S- baith jaungi, pehle Ani, mujhe batao ki yeh kaun hai?(pointing towards haseena)

AS- Ek dost hain..(HM smiled softly)

S- Oh, sorry..nice to meet you, Miss?

HM- Haseena (fake smiled and they had a handshake)

S- Haseena, Nice name! ek second, kya tum Haseena Malik ho? CEO of Malik enterprises?

HM- Ji haan..(smiled)

S- Wow nice! Mai wahan hi job karti hun..bas thodi neeche ki post hai toh aapse kabhi mili hi nahi..

HM- Oh..

AS- Baatein ho gayi hon toh baith jaiye..

They all sat, Maa served tea..

S- Maa aapne kyun itni mehnat ki..chalo ab kar di..par ab se mai kar dungi..

HM (instantly)- tum kyun karogi?

S and AS looked at her surprisingly..

HM- Hamara matlab a.. servant kar dega na..(nervously)

S- Koi zaroorat nahi hai..Ab toh mujhe yahin rehna hai..toh mai hi banaungi..(smiled)

HM- Tum yahan kyun rahogi?

S- Excuse me?

HM- Uhh, wo..

AS- Haseenaji Smriti hamari param sakhi hai..college time se..isliye itne haq se keh rahi hai..aur jab tak iska man hoga yeh yahan reh sakti hai..(smiled)

HM- Ohh..(in mind- lo, isse bhi abhi tapakna tha..ab hum inse apne dil ki baat kaise karein? kahin ye smriti ko..nahi haseena, think positive..agar aisa kuch hota toh yeh natak karne se pehle hi clear karte)

HM- Hum chalte hain..thoda kaam hai office mein..

AS-ji...hum chhod dein apko? kyunki aapka driver dikha nahi humein bahar..

HM- Thankyou..

AS was driving..

AS- Waise..

HM who was looking outside, looked at him..

AS- Kuch kehne wali thi na aap? matlab smriti ke aane se pehle..

HM- Haan wo..um, hum keh rahe the ki..aap humse dosti karenge?

AS- 'aap'? tabiyat theek haina aapki? (giggled) itni izzat?😂

HM- Socha de dun, par tumse hazam hi nahi hoti na...😒

AS- accha sorry..waise humein laga hum pehle hi dost ban chuke hain..(smiled)

HM- Haan, yeh baat bhi sahi hai..(smiled)..

AS- waise humein nahi lagta aap yeh kehne wali thi uss wakt..(looking into her eyes)

HM- nahi..hum yahi kehne wale the..aur kya kahenge..(looking away)

AS- Haseenaji, idhar dekhiye..(she looked in his eyes) ab bataiye..

HM- Hum keh rahe the ki..

AS- Ki..

HM- Wo..

AS- Wo kya haseenaji?

HM- Hamara ghar aa gaya..

AS noticed the place where they reached..yes it was her home..

HM- Hum chalte hain..

AS- um hmm (denying) milte hain..

HM- Milte hain..(smiled)

She went in and he smiled and drove back to his home..
