It has been a month.... Raj never confronted her nor given her a single chance to talk...this kind of behavior from him, hurting her.... In these past days, feelings developed in her heart...but she didn't realised yet... She gets affected but didn't show anybody...

It's the month of December... Christmas and New year's preparation were in its own peak..... Shalini & Aalekh plans for a Christmas party like every year... Naina & Naveen were joining them after a long time... Shalini tolds Naina to invite her all friends....

Ohh yeah, Naina became a very good friend of Neelu & pooja.... So she invites them along with Taniii....

She was sitting in the class, lost in her thoughts...Tani was blabbering continuously...when didn't get any reply then looks at her....& Found her lost...she hits her own head with her hands....thens shooks her....

Tani- kab se bak bak kr rhi hu akele...pgl hu kya mai...kaha dhyan hai teraaa....bol kya soch rhi thi...

Naina- kuch nhi...still lost in her thoughts...
Aftr few moments she looks at her...

Tani- khatm tera Bhaw khana session....chl ab bta...

Naina- qk koi fayda nhi hai yrrr....wo nhi krna chahte koi baat mujhse...fir koi na koi excuse dekar nikal jaege...

Her eyes got teary, unknowingly.... Tani looks at her & smiles lightly....

Tani- achha ab rona band kr...mai bat krugi unse...ok..

Naina- chl na yr koi fayda nhi hai unse bolne ka...unhe to ab bs bahane chahiye hote hai mujhse dur bhagne ka...pta nhi aisa kya ho gya hai...😖.

She looks around but didn't find Tani....

Naina- ye kaha gayab ho gai...

She runs her eyes here & there....& Finds her...who was running behind Raj trying to stop him...

Naina- o terrii..ab wo fir yhi sochege ki maine use bheja hai....kya kru is ldki ka...mna kiya tha fir bhi...

Tani tries to match his speed....

Tani- Raj...Raj rukiye...plzzz yrr....Raajjjj....wait..

Finally she holds his hand & stops him...

Tani- mai pagal najar aati hu aapko...kab se rok rahi hu....thhaka diya...huh...ek baat batao use dekhte hi aap hmesa Ghode pr kyu sawar ho jate ho...

Raj- kya matlab....mujhe kuch kaam hai isliye...mai bad me milta hu...

He turns to go but Tani again holds his hand..

Tani- oaa wait... Sare kaam use hi dekh kr yaad aate hai aapko...

Raj didn't reply....after few moments...

Raj- bolo kya kaam hai....

Tani- (eyed him)...mtlb koi kam hoga to hi aapke pas aaugi...aap badal gaye hai..😞..

She makes a puppy face...he looks upwards & takes a deep sigh....& A smile crept on his lips...

Raj- ho gya tera drama khtm ya or bhi hai...bolo ab...kyu P.T. Usha bn rahi thi...

She smile happily...& Replies...

Tani- wo actually mai apko invite krne aai thi...

Raj- invite..??? Kisliye...bday hai tera...

Raj- shalu????

Tani- are naina or alekh ki cousin... yr apko to kuch b pta nhi...huh...

Raj- ohhh doctor....to tum kyu invite kr rhi ho...

Tani looks at naina by peripheral vision...Raj also noticed it...

Tani- obviously aapko bulane k liye....

Raj replies with a loud voice... Enough to hear naina...who stands on a safe distance...

Raj- well for ur kind information mai apko bta du ki mai aapka ye invitation accept nhi kr sakta...

Naina's face fall & tani looks at him with knitted brows...raj countinues...now in normal tone...

Raj- kyuki ye chhota sa celebration hum sb milkar organise krte hai... Mai, Aalekh, Gunny, Shalini har baar krte hai.....so u see... Aapko itni mehnat krne ki koi jarurt nhi thi....& Btw mai abhi wahi ja rha hu..aftrall taiyari bhi to krni hai na...

He turns to go but stops & smiles mischievously...

Raj- are haan...tum jarur aana...dil se invite kr rha hu....

& He left with that smile...& Tani's mouth opened in 'o' shape...naina comes to her..

Naina- mana kiya tha na...bola tha koi fayda nhi...wo nhi aaege...😞

Tani glares her...

Tani- tujhe hmesa mera hi kachra krna hota hai kya...

Naina- kya mtlb...maine to bola tha ki mt ja...pr tu sunti kaha h..

Tani- Mai Invite krne aai thi unhe pr nhii wo ulta mujhe invite kr gye....or sb teri wajah se...usi ghr me rahti hai or tujhe kuch pta nhi...hadd h is ldki ka...

She also leaves from there in frustration...

******

In the night...

It's party timee.....

Their small celebration was going on in Ahluwalia Mantion's garden....

Yudi & Ali had already came... Raj, Gunny, Naveen & shalini also present there... Raj ignores Naina there's too.... She sat alone with heavy heart & smiling face.... Unknowingly her eyes were going on him again & again...
Few moments later, pooja,neelu & Tani enters.... Tani directly goes to naina & asks through eyes that what's all this...she takes naina with her,where all were sitting...
Aalekh saw neelu & get shocked...he goes to her...

Aalekh- oaa tum yaha kya kr rhi ho...tumhe kisne bulaya...

Neelu- kya mtlb hai...naina friend h humari...usne bulaya hai...wrna tum to fattu kbhi bahar se bhi nhi dikhaya ki ye ghr h tumhara...

Aalekh- Aee don't call me Fattu haan...& Iss naina ki bachhi ne btaya nhi mujhe...

Neelu & pooja's eyes got wide...to see him talking like this...

Aalekh- kyq tum log aise look kyu de rhe...

Pooja- neelu pinch kr yrrr....ye tapori se sanskari kb bna...

Alekh- don't over react yr...mai to hmesa se yahi hu...wo to bs bol deta hu...yaha kisine wo language suni na to bahar hi najar aauga...

Neelu smiles & put her hands on his hands...

Neelu- I believe u...ab plzzz andar chle ya aj bhi nhi aane doge...

Aalekh- plzz come....😊

They also join others...& Their party begins.....girls are busy in chatting... Raj & gunny were busy in admiring their love...one openly & other one (Raj) secretly... Naveen was busy in his phone...He showed no intrest in it... Aalekh & yudi plan to do some khurapat...

Yudi- bro, r u sure....

Aalekh- yeah..100%...abhi sb apne me lge pde hai maja hi nhi aa rha...

Ali- pr alekh bhai...ladkiya hai...unhe bhi...hume ye sahi nhi lg rha...

He poured juice in glasses & mix his tonic in it...then smiles devilish...

Aalekh- ab aaega maja...

Ali- umm hmare khyal se ladkiyo me kam milana tha...wo sambhal nhi payi to...

Alekh- abe chup kr...itna bhi nhi milaya jo gir pade...chl ab...

They serves spiked juice to everyone...now they were sitting in a circle... Tani, shalini & aalekh had same plan....

Tani- let's play truth & dare...

Raj looks at her then everybody...

Raj- noo...mujhe nhi khelna...tum sb khelo...

Shalini- kyuuu kyu nhi khelna...

Raj- ye stupid games mujhe nhi khelna...( In mind) i know tum log mujhe hi fasaoge...sach ugalwaoge....mai kheluga hi nhi....

Alekh-  kya Raj bhai...dar gye... Don't be a spoiler...chlo baitho ab...

Raj- maine kaha na nhi...( He gets up but gunny stops him)...

Gunny- bhaw kyu kha rha hai...jb sb bol rhe hai to baith ja na...chl baith chupchap...

He sits again....& Game starts....all were playing & enjoying.... Bottle spins & this time stops on Raj....he  alerts....

Shalini- wowww...so Raj....truth or dare....

Trio prays in mind tht Raj choose Truth...

Raj- Dare....(in mind) not so easy guys...

Trio's face fall...but Tani looks at him with mischievously...

Tani- okk then...agar apko kisi girl ko propose krna h kaise krege....krke btao....

Raj- bs itna...abhi krta hu...

He stands up nd looks at girls one by one hopefully....but alekh holds neelu's hand & give him a sarcastic look...then he moves to pooja but she too holds ali's hand & shows him... Raj shakes his head in negative...then moves to shalini with determined face but shalini already stuck with gunny...

Shalini- bhai mai to already ek proposal accept kr chuki hu...dubara kya krugi...

He gets irritated & finally looks at Tani...

Tani- umm...aj ke liye mera partner yudi hai...ryt yudi...may I...

She gives her hand to yudi...he accepts it with confused face...but then smiles heartily....
Raj gets highly irritated with this....

Raj- that's it...acha hai...koi ready hi nhi hai...jaise mai sach me propose mar rha hu...ab bs..mujhe nhi krna kuch...waise b koi bcha nhi...

Tani- are aise kaise nhi bcha... Naina hai na...use karo...

Naina & Raj both looks at her...then each other...he lowered his eyes...& Says nothing...Naina again feels hurt but its ok...

Naina- jane do na... Jabardasti kyu krna kisi se...waise b ye mujhe propose kre...itne b bure din nhi h mere...

She tries to joke but he feels offended... Everyone also looks at her...then she realised what she says....& Closed her eyes....
