~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ammi, what are we doing for the new years eve?" I asked ammi 

"Nothing dear why?" she asked 

"Oh i was thinking that we could go to the new years par-" I said but ammi cut me off

"We need to be at the park!" she said grinning

"Uh huh and then?" I asked her

we were having breakfast. it was a day after christmas and things were going great. although Hasti was acting really weird. Like real weird. 

"So we are going to e there?" i asked her and she grinned. 

"Awessommee!" screamed Zaki cheerfully

"Okay and Zaki,-" I said gaining everyones attention. 

"Yes bhai?" he asked 

"What do you want as your new years gift?" I asked him 

he stared at me and went into deep thought. 

"While he is thinking, Hasti you also think- what do you want?" I asked Hasti. 

She shook her head. She has not been talking to me normally since the incident at the orphanage. 

"No really, what do you want?" I asked her

"Nothing i am fine"she said 

"Dear, tell him nah," said ammi 

"Nai, ammi, I am fine" replied Hasti 

I stared at her. 

What was wrong? 

"I know what i want!" said Zaki. 

"what?" I asked him 

"our iphone! and its cases!" said Zaki

"What?!" I asked him in disbelief

"Yeah!" he said happily

"Out of all the things Zaki, you want my iphone 6 and its cases!?" I asked him in disbelief

"Well yeah!" he said 

"I was hoping for something like a car- or ipad or PS4 or something-" I said and he grinned

"I don't need a car, i have you, i have an ipad and PS4 with games and i want that iphone!" he replied

"How about i buy you a new one?" I asked him

"NOOOOO!!! I want yours!" he protested

"Fine! take it!" I said and he grinned. 

'Love you bhai!!" he said and i gave him my famous grin. 

Now what to get Hasti? I had bought ammi her gift, a new phone as she broke her old one. It was an xperia. so yeah.... 

Hasti? 

"Ammi i am in my room, need anything, just call me" I said and headed to my room. 

it was only 5 days to new year and i had no idea on what to get Hasti... plus i had to plan the new years party at the office. that was hard work!

I took out allt he papers and jogged to Zaki's room. I needed his help. He is creative.. i hope.

I stopped at the door to knock when I heard voices. 

"Zakkkiii, you don't get it!" that was Hasti

"I do and trust me he does too!" that was Zaki

"I don't know- its weird, all the stupid feelign and all!" she said 

i knocked on the door. 

"Bhai?" said zaki coming at the door

"Need yours and Hasti's help, immediately!" I said and he nodded. "Living room, now-" 

With that I walked out to the living room. 

What were they talking about? Feelings? Him? So confusing!

I set on the rug in front of the tv as i scattered the papers all over. 

It was a masquerade party themed White New Year's Eve and since I did not give my workers a christmas party, I needed to give them this one. Plus we had to help in the community park new years eve decor. I had so many things to do!

"Bhai, what do we have to do?" asked Zaki sitting cross-legged infront of me. 

"Check the list for the decors Zaki- Hasti do me a favor and call up Kiara please, he number is in my phone there-" I said pointing to the coffee table while reading the papers. 

I got busy i finalising the decors for the party. I also had to help in the community party! 

After 3 hours of working, I was dead tired, Zaki was worn out and Hasti was still writing down the contacts of the people who will help in community work. 

I got up and walked into the kitchen. Ammi was standing there making something. 

"Salaam ammi" I said and she smiled at me

"whats cooking?" I asked her

"Pakora's and Kiaf?" she said 

I turned to her

"When are you telling her?" she asked 

I gave her a confused look and she smiled. 

"Telling Hasti-" she said 

"Her what?" I asked ammi

"That you like her or parhaps love her?" she replied stirring her pakora's

I opened my mouth to protest but no words came out. I stood there thinking. 

The way her laugh echoed in the house, her smile and her stupidity. The time at the police station came in my mine and i smiled. 

"Kaif!!!" Ammi's voice cut in my thoughts. 

"yeah?" I asked her

"You are doing that often.... tellme whats wrong?" she said 

i shook my head, "just work and no- i do not like her!" I said and walked out. 

"People enought, let it be, we will do it later- take a break!" i said and Zaki happily trotted away while Hasti kept writing things down. 

"Hasti take a break!" I said and she held up her hand. 

i sighed and walked to her. I grabbed the book and she looked up, angry. 

"Take a break! My new years party is not gonna be incomplete if you just take a break leh!" I said and she gave up. 

She stood up and looked at me. 

Her green devilishly pretty eyes boring into my grey eyes. Her eyes held emotions and that too which i can't figure out. 

We stared at each other for idk how long, well we did not break contact until someone cleared their throat 

She immediately looked away and I turned to see ammi smirking at me. 

"Ammi, i will be in my room-" she said and ammi nodded. with that she walked away. 

I looked at ammi and held up the book in my hand, ah.....okay!

"I am- also- ah.... in my room-" i said and sprinted upstairs into my room. 

As soon as I was in my room, I let out a deep sigh. Whew! 

But it was worth it! ;) 

I threw the book on my bed and laid beside it. 

Who knew that girl who i saw that night in my house would turn out to be this girl... i know now! 

I turned to the side and my face hit the book. Arggh! the book. It was the one she was busy writing in. 

I took the book and a page caught my eye. 

It was all decorated with pictures and flowers and hearts. What was this thing. It was in Roman Hindi. i read it. 

Jab Allah Kisi koh aap keh paas bejta hai to ek waaja hoti hai

Jab koi aap ko hasata hai uss keh bhi ek waja hoti hai

Par jab koi aap koh rulata hai, kya uss ki koi waja hoti hai?

He was like...... total opposite. Jab maine usse dekha toh pahla cheez maine socha was that yeh toh arrogant hai. Isse kisi ki bhi khayal nahi hai, he believed in money and all. But my judgement was wrong... he was not like that..... he had that spark in him..... even his brother was like him! Often I would just stare at him and he would not even notice, I would smile at him and he would grinn back All of it- did it mean anything? 

I know we are like poles apart but after so many years, I feel happy... 

Then came in the stupid heartbeats. When ever he is around, r his thoughts, stupid heart starts beating rapidly, leaving me breathless and speechless. Kya yahi Pyar hai? Is this what you call love? 

Tears formed when i think about going back..... leaving this family, him and all..... everything.... his smiles... the sute laughter. The eyes... everything. He had a deep side that he shows to no one but I saw that side. I don't know he is what? The one i judged or the one I saw that night.... 

The whole thing ended there and I stared at the book. Who was she talking about? Please don't tell me its Zaki... damn. 

I got up and walked to Zaki's room. Things were needed to be answered! 

+++++++

Love you al!
