Part 7

Arnav and Aman reached the RM. Aman thought for some time and asked..

Aman: Finished dealing?

Arnav(frowning): which deal?

Aman: The same deal which you are following from TEMPLE to DARGA.

Arnav (turning opposite to Aman): Don't build up stories in your imagination.

Aman: Should I wait until you build it up in real?

Arnav: Shut up Aman.

Aman( holding his shoulders): look at my face and tell me that it's my imagination. I will never ask you again. He said seriously.

Arnav(gulping): I forgot that I'm talking to my Buddy.

Aman: It's not your fault dude. I'm watching that you are forgetting what really you are.

Arnav: I'm lucky to have an understanding friend like you.

Aman: Now, mind you tell me about Bhabi?

The word Bhabi elated Arnav's feelings. She can be Aman's Bhabi only if she becomes his "WIFE". That feel itself made him delightful. He didn't assume it yet but this Aman. Was he really reacting excessively that Aman can easily catch him by red handed? Aman snapped his finger to get him out of his dream world.

Aman(mockingly): Again?

Arnav started narrating everything from the beginning till today. Aman was shocked to the core. These seemed to be like a movie! This time Arnav snapped his finger.

Arnav(chuckled): where were you lost?

Aman: I would not have believed if it was not you who told this to me.

Arnav(gulping): I'm also not getting anything that what's happening in my life. At first I was impressed by the girl whose face I didn't see. Second day I met a girl and lost my sense in her innocent face. Third day I came to know that both girls are same. I can't understand why suddenly my life is travelling in the track which was being lead by a simple girl. I'm losing myself Aman. (he gulped)

Aman: what do you really feel for her? I mean do you like this feel or do you want to get rid of it?

Arnav: Get rid? Never. I don't know why I don't hate her for making me weaker. My heart wants to follow her. It's yearning to see her. I want to be with her rest of my life Aman.( he said fisting his fingers)

Aman: Stop. HEART? Finally your PUMPING ORGAN started doing something beyond blood circulation? (he teased)

Arnav(dumb founded): I don't know why, I heard my own heart beat whenever she is in front of me.

Aman(excitedly): Seems like she tied a LION by a thin thread called LOVE?

Arnav: If this is what called Love, Then I Love this damn Love.

Aman: I never expected that the mighty ASR will crave for a mere girl.

Arnav: I don't think, she is a mere girl Aman. She is exceptional like my "Maa".

Aman(surprised): Really I'm surprised Arnav. I not at all thought that one day you could even consider someone with your Mom.

Arnav: Neither me.

Aman: Don't worry. Aman will make that White salwar plus Hospital Girl as my Bhabi.

Arnav hugged Aman happily as he knew if Aman take it in his hands then it can be considered as half finished.

Evening

Aman saw Arnav is getting ready. He has no idea where he is going.

Aman: Where are you going yaar?

Arnav: I don't know you are such a Dumbo.

Aman: Like really? Only God knows what is cooking in your mind.

Arnav: I don't believe in God.

Aman: what if Bhabi believes?

Arnav( smiled): It will be interesting to tease her then.

Aman was admiring his friend and his growing feeling for Khushi. In other hand he feared of something. What if it goes wrong? The mere thought itself made Aman restless. He is observing a cute side of Arnav after his mother's demise. This is not just a DEAL which he could say, it cannot go slip from their hands. She is a girl that too who is not fond of status or money. Such characters will be tough to crack. He took deep breath looking at Arnav.

Arnav: I'm going to see your Bhabi. I have no problem if you join me.

Aman: I don't want to disturb you guys. You carry on.

Arnav chuckled and left. Aman took out his mobile and dialed a number.

Aman: what are you doing? Can't you finish a simple task in two days?(pause) when? (pause) Ok fine. I will collect it (he cut the call and went to the particular place, where a person was waiting for him with the file which contains A to Z details about Khushi )

GH

It was a breezy night. Khushi was sitting outside of her house as there was no one at home. She was enjoying her own world. She was catching "channas"(chick peas) by her mouth throwing it in high and almost she failed. But she laughed whenever she missed it instead of feeling bad. She looked so cute when she did so.

She was in very simple salwar with her long silky hair opened. How a girl could looks so beautiful even without any damn makeup. A man thought so, who was looking at her, from the beginning of her "channa catching game"- Arnav. "Face is a mirror of heart" it must be true. She might be pounce on him, but now it seems like a mask. She is hiding her "real" from others. At least from Arnav.

Suddenly it started drizzling. Khushi was hurried to collecting dried clothes and left inside. Arnav was disappointed. This damn rain. He was supposed to come out of the dark place from where he stood comfortably from everyone's eyes. That's when he saw Khushi come out again and standing in the rain enjoying. "LUCKIEST RAIN". If she likes rain then it must be lucky.

He started moving towards her totally spell bounded. Khushi who was twirled in the rain collide with Arnav and missed her balance. He caught hold of her from falling. They looked at each other but in different state. Khushi was shocked seeing him while Arnav was in total admiration. Khushi started struggling to come out of his clutch which was getting tighten.

Khushi: leave me. I said leave me.

Arnav: Why? Again you want to run? Stop running. (he came straight to the point)

Khushi: what the hell?

Arnav(cutting her): I will be happy even in HELL, if you are with me.

Khushi pushed him by collecting all her energy and she was succeeded.

Khushi: what are you doing here and what rubbish are you talking about?

Arnav(gritting his teeth): Rubbish?

Khushi(cutting him): It is. You are taking advantage of a girl who is alone.

That's when reality hit Arnav that he was over reacted. So what? He was satisfied that he told her what he really feels for her.

Arnav: I'm not doing anything wrong and we are in public, not in a closed room.

Khushi: why are you making fuss? Please go from here before anyone sees you. People will take me wrong if they sees me talking with the guy when I'm alone.

Arnav started taking back steps. He didn't wait after that as he couldn't allow anyone talk anything rubbish about Khushi. He knew how to deal. He will do it. Very soon.

He stopped the car in the lonely road and came out of the car. He wanted to get drenched in the rain as he wants to enjoy it in the same way Khushi did. It was really awesome. He closed his eyes and got Khushi's images in his thoughts. He never enjoyed this rainy weather, seems like he missed a lot in his life.

As Aman said, is this what called love? Where is this love taking him? He is losing his direction. It is directing him to where Khushi was. He was feeling intoxicated. Why the hell this PUMPING ORGAN was suddenly swaying? Why it was effecting? Does the HEART truly understand LOVE? Really he LOVE this suffering called LOVE.
