PART  Three (a) - Of nightmares and coffee


Aur pyaar ho gayya..


Virat woke up early that morning, thanks to his nightmares that seemed to have had a habit to visit him more often.It was hardly a year and those memories still hurt him.

'You must really go for this! I know I can trust you'

'Voh ladkii toh yahaan aayi nahin...Dude,usne tumhe dhoka diyaan..'

'Tu kaise us pe vishwas karsaktha tha..'

Various voices boomed inside his head and walked out of the room.He checked the clock,down in the hall.It was half past five in the morning and he stepped out into the open.The wind was chilly, fog had settled everywhere, he could hardly see where he was going.He finally got himself seated by the bench in the backyard, humming a faint tune to calm himself.

Little did he know, he was not the only one suffering from visions of the past.There was another person, who had a nightmare and decided to call off the night by spending some quality time in the open.

~

Maanvi sighed.She was abruptly pulled out of her sleep by a horrible dream that had been haunting her ever since she stepped into the Vadhera house.

Her di..she stood a far, watching her with soulful eyes.Maanvi lunged to hug her di, she missed her so much..she wanted to embrace her,wanted to talk to her.She was close to her destination, and..and-

Maanvi closed her eyes picturing the scene inside her head.

'Tum iss pariwaar ke laayak nahin ho..Door raho humse!' Swamini's voice boomed.

'Par di..'

'Voh tumhari di nahi rahi...bas! Ab woh humari bahu hai..!'

And she was thrown out of the house.

She took a deep breath, it was a dream.She assured herself.Only a dream.That was when she heard someone humming a nice tune.It was chep,she could see his blurred image through the darkness.He seemed to have been tired and was casually lying on the bench,not far away from hers.Why was he out at this hour of the day? Did he have a nightmare too?? She was curious but, he would probably brush it off if she tried to talk to him.But then...yeah that was it!

She picked up her phone, cautiosly moved to the other corner and dialed his number.The time for some fun, she could tease him like a stranger and who knew, probably he needed some company.

~~

Virat was brought back to the reality, as his cellphone began to vibrate.He glanced up at the nuber displayed, 'oh no!'

It was the mystery girl, why was she calling him.Was she trying to make fun of him? He had promised he would never answer her call,but then why was she calling him right at this hour of the day?

He wasn't quite sure why he had pressed the green button.

"Good morning,Virat ji...Kaise hai aap?" a cheery voice greeted her.

"Hello, bhootni kaisi ho.." he retorted.

"Bhoothni??"  Maanvi whined mockingly, this was fun,oh yeah!, "koi baat  nahin, aap ne mereliye nickname dhoondh liya yahinn kaafi hai.."

He grimaced, " tum..tumhe samajh mein nahi aata kya..main tumse baat nahi karna chahtha..dobara phone mat karna.."

Maanvi smiled from her spot, "kahan naa zyaada gussa sehat keliye theek nahin, toh phir gussa kyon?"  That came out a bit harsher, just as if she cared for him.She shook it away.

There must be some way to get to know her intentions, " tumhe kya chaiye..kyon phone karthi rehthi ho..Don't you see main tumse baat nahin karna chahtha.."

"Oh, haan isiliye kal raat dinner ke vakht mujhe dhoodh rahe the..aap kithne cute lag rahe the..bilkul, hum aapke hai kaun mein Salman ki tarah,"

Virat chuckled,he really did wanted to meet her, no matter how much she annoyed him, she was just a puzzle.

"aapko zyaada smile karna chahiye..voh aap pe bahut suit karthi hai.." Maanvi didn't know, why she was saying that.Perhaps his voice was low, and a little down as if he had been upset about something.

"Kya..kya accha lagtha hai, " he asked her smiling slightly.

"Wohi..aapki smile, " she replied calmly, oh now she was flirting with him, right?

"Tum raat bhar soyi nahin..." he asked, "kaise phone kar diya.."

"Aise hi..aap ka kya? Aap soye nahin..aur ithni thand mein kya kar rahe hain?"

He cleared his throat, "voh, nahi..kuch nahi!"

"Jhoot, jhoot mat boliye..kya hua?" Maanvi asked, her voice tensed,why was the fun loving,  Mr.I-am-so-cool upset?

"Bura sapna tha bas kuch nahi..." he repiled calmly.

"Oh! " she was amazed, this turned out to be different, she wanted to tease him, not comfort him!

"Vakht humesha ek jaisa nahi hotha..everything will be fine, one day...bas us ummeed ki zaroorat hai!" she smiled sadly.

He nodded.How true, " ummeed kithni ajeeb cheez hai..hai na!"

She remained silent, those were the words her di used to say.She was there to comfort her always.

"Haan, aur jab voh humare saath ho, toh kuch bhi mumkin hai.."

"Saath hoga tab na..ummeed ki roshni toh meri zindgi se kab ka nikal gayi.." he sounded upset.

Maanvi blinked, it was almost like - he was opening upto her.

"Aisa math sochiye.." she began awkwardly, what else was she supposed to say?

"Sochnewali baat hai hi nahin, meri khud ke pariwaar wale bhi meri kadr nahi karthe!"

Her eyes softened, she must really comfort the poor soul, but how?

"Yeh sach nahin hai! Dadaji aapse naaraaz hai, iska matlab yeh toh nahi ki, voh aapki phikr nahi karthe..infact unko aapki parwaa hai, isiliye woh chahthe hai ki aap sudhar jaav! "

She could see it, dadaji was no different to beeji.Beeji always behind her back, she was pissed off at times, but her di made her understand, beeji actually did care for her.

"Aur vaise kya patha, kisi din aap apne bhai se bhi bade position mein rahoge!"

Virat chuckled at this. This mystery girl was trying to soothe him. It was wierd, the way she spoke as if she understood him. But it felt good.

"Aap ye math sochna ki sab khathm hogaya.. sab se achi cheez toh tabhi shuru honge jab koi aur cheez khathm ho jaye.. aur in chote mote dard aur aasun ke bina, zingi mein jeet ka maza kaise aayega? Boliye na..."

Virat remained silent, processing her words.As if he was comprehending the meaning hidden in them, he sighed. She went on as he remained silent.

"Bas kabhi haar math maanna aur aage badhthe chale jaana.. "

Maanvi wasn't quite sure how she managed to say something so sensible. She merely tried to soothe him, just the way her sister would do it.

He cleared his throat as a small smile crept on to his facial features. Did she really care for him? The mystery girl?

"Vaise tum..tumhara kya? Tum is vakht kya kar rahi ho!" He attempted to divert the topic, did he just tell her?

She was nothing but a stranger! Why was he talking to her! Was she really playing around him, calling at the odd hour of the night?

Then it struck him, how did she know he was in the open? Was it possible that she was around him, a few feet away from him?

He frantically looked around pulling out his torch.

Maanvi's eyes widened what was she supposed to tell him if he had spotted her.She lunged towards the door, all she wanted to do was to get away from him.The sooner, the better!

The phoneline went dead and he sighed.

~~~
Maanvi took a deep breath, she was close to getting caught.
It was mata ki chowki and she had a big day to start.She quicly got ready.

~~~~~ A few hour later, that evening

The pooja was over and she finally found herself sitting by a secluded corner.

Her phone rang, it was Virat.She sighed, why was he calling her. Did he spot her yesterday? Oh that would be terrible!

She hesitantly picked up her phone and answered his call.

"Ye theek nahin! Aap ne aisa phone kaat diya voh theek nahin.."

She faked a smile, "Voh kuch kaam aagaya tha!" She lied, perhaps it was a bad idea to call him that morning.Her voice was low, she had been upset all day.

"Tum..saamne kyon nahi aathi..hum aamne saamne se baath karsakthe hai!"

"Mujhe lagaa aap humse baat nahi karna chahthe the..." she replied cautiously.

He smiled, "voh toh hai! Par, I wanna thank you, aaj subah keliye.."

"Voh toh kuch nahin tha.."  she replied timidly.He chuckled.

"Vaise..tum karthi kya ho?"

"Mujhe ek reputed magazine mein journalist ka job milaa hai..aur aap?" that was very true, she would join there, once her di's marriage is over.

"I'm an engineering graduate! Toh..?" he hesitated a bit, "kya main, aapka naam jaan sakhtha hoon?"

She chuckled.He wanted to know her name..? That was fast!

"Oh..mera naam huh? Nahin!" now she could tease him again!

"Kyon ithni buri hai kya..jo aap keh nahi sakthe?"

"Nahin!"

"Toh phir?"

"Bhoothni ka naam diya aapne yaad hai?"

"Toh aap naaraz hai?"

"Nahi toh kya..hum ithne pyaar se baath kar rahe the..aur aap hai ki.."

"Toh, mujhe hi aapka naam  guess karna hoga..hmm?"

"Try keejiye...aasaan hai bas aapke man se poochne ki zaroorat hai!"

She smiled, this was fun! And she ended the call.She smiled as Virat banged his head against the wall, he looked so frustrated! Poor soul, it was all for her! To guess her name! Her smile widened as she thought about it.

Part three(b)

Aur pyaar Ho gayya

The next morning,  Maanvi woke up with a smile. She smiled as the memory of last night returned in her head. Virat looked, well, so cute, banging his head, scratching his neck, almost like a frustrated teenager back then.

She walked over to the dining table. It was almost nine am, the Vadheras joined the chowdharis for breakfast.
"Aaj tum kahin nahin jaaoge!" the elderly old man addressed Viren who smiled.

"Par..aaj mujhe Mr.Saxena se.."

"Viren beta, aaj toh tum ghar mein hi rahoge! Aakhir ye tumhari shaadi hai!"
Viren gave up, smiling at his badi maa. He glanced up at Jeevika who smiled back.

"Oooh, toh jiju, hum kahin ghumne jaa sakhthe hai.. I mean di ko saath lekar and-" Maanvi was abruptly cut off by Virat who glared at her.

"Bhai mere saath rahenge! Bhai, I really need your help, please-" Virat gave a puppy dog look to his brother.
"Okay.. Aaj main sab ke saath vakhth ghuzaarna chaahoonga, " he smiled at Jeevika, who turned slightly pink.

"Hum kahaan jaaye -oh well, mandir ya shopping-" Beeji gave a stern look and Maanvi stopped in mid-sentence.

The Vadhera brothers finished breakfast soon and Virat dragged his brother to an isolated corner.

"Kya hai..?" Viren was perplexed.

"Bhai.. I need your help. Socho, jab aapki shaadi hogi aur aapko pyari si ladki hogayi.."

Viren raised a brow.

"Kya.. par abhi shaadi hi.."

"Socho bhai, please!"

"Okay!"

"Toh aap apne man se poochoge.. ladki ke naam kya rakhna hoga.. toh kya naam doge aap apni beti ko?"

Virat looked hopeful. Maanvi who overheard their conversation stood rooted to her spot.

Viren looked unsure, "well, main badi maa se poochkar tay karoonga..hum sab milke.."

"Oh bhai.. apkp man se poochna hoga!"

"Tu kehna kya chahtha hai.. saaf saaf bataan!"

Virat looked sheepish, "Ek ladki ne mujhe apna naam baathane se inkaar kiya!"

"Ladkii? I knew, kaun wohi na jisse tum phone pe.. ek minute! Tu uska naam nahi jaantha?"

Virat took a deep breath, "nahi.. pehle jab usne phone kiya toh laga ki shayad woh mazak kar rahi hai.. lekin usne aaj joh baat ki, mere apnon ki tarah, I felt like talking to her!"

"Oh toh woh kya baat karthi hai tumse.. bataao chup kyon ho?"

"Oh bhai! This is embarassing!"

"Oh, toh woh mere chote ki secret admirer hai? hmm!"

Maanvi distanced herself, remaining with in her ear shot.

"I dunno," Virat hung his head.

"Hayee.. mera chota sharmaa raha hai!"

Virat turned faintly pink and glared at him.

"Okay.. serious now!" Viren chuckled.

Just then, chachi and Shlok walked in eyeing them both with perplexed looks.

"Subah subah, kya ho raha hai yahaan? Dono bhai ek saath, kya baat hai?" chachi asked smiling at them.

"Woh, well, acha hua aap aagayi chachi! Humare chote ko na madad ki zaroorath hai!" Virat grinned as he narrated the story.

"Ohhh! Hayee rabba! Toh ab patha lagaana hoga ki .. aakhir humare Salman ki Kareena kaun hai?" Chachi squealed, "woh film nahin dekhin, Bodyguard?"

Virat rolled his eyes, "stop it, Main uss ladki ko pasand nahin kartha.. I'm just curious, that's all!"

"Hayee! Pehle toh sab log aise hi kehthe hai.. phir ek din-"

"Ladki ke pyaar mein ppagal ho jaathe hai!" Viren finished it for chachi who beamed at him.

"Ladki ka naam, kya bhaiya.. aap yeh bhi atha nahi laga sakthe.." Shlok huffed, "mere class mein bahut saari ladkiya hai, jinka naam 'M' se shuru hotha hai.."

Virat shook his head as Shlok went on, "Maansi, Madhu, Manaswi, Muskaan, Mridula, Maalthi..."

Viren laughed, "bas bas chote miyan, aapke help ke liye thanks!"
Virat beamed, "Maansi and Manaswi, sounds good!

Mean while, Maanvi couldn't supress the giggle that were errupting from her mouth. She had to confess, Virat looked a way too adorable, trying to figure out her name, "its Maanvi, buddhu! Maanvi!"
She mumbled softly, continuing to observe them.

"Oh ha! Here's the list chote! Aap ne complete kardiyan chachi?"  Viren smiled.
'They're preparing a list of the names!?' Maanvi couldn't help but smile.

~~~~

Later on for a few days they kept talking over phone. Maanvi couldn't believe that this was the same Virat she knew. He talked about his family, how he loved his brother and how he enjoyed playing soccer while he was in the US and how much he liked to torment a girl called Maanvi.

"Maanvi na shararthi zaroor hai! Par dil ki acchi hai!"

Maanvi smiled at his remark. He was being so honest, it brought tears into her eyes. She well, she was cheating him, playing around him for over a week now. Her di's mehendi ceremony was coming close and she couldn't concentrate on her surroundings. His words were almost soothing her in a way she couldn't quite understand. She loved talking to him and it became almost a habit. They ould talk whenever time permitted and he'd make her smile, cracking jokes, making funny remarks.

It was sunday, she had made up her mind. Although how much  it saddened her, she decided that she'd never talk to him again.

Her di's mehendi ceremony was on monday and she'd not dwell any further into the matter. Beeji had caught her talking to Virat that morning (although Beeji didn't know it was him), and she wouldn't want to risk anything until her di's marriage commenced.

She was selfish, she felt bad watching him trying to call her. The Virat she knew was completely changed. It was her fault.

"Oye chep!" she attempted a conversation, snatching his mobile, "kyon har vakhth try karthe rehthe ho.. subah se dekh rahin hoon, kisse phone kar rahe ho?"

"Ek khaas dost ko, " Virat replied sweetly, "no give it back!"

He was once agin trying to call his mystery girl. She wanted to tell him so badly, that it was her! She was his phone friend. But no, that would make things even worse! Sure they got to know each other over the past few days, they were hardly friends, but still it hurt her to see him that way.

Even Dadaji, Viren jiju and all began to notice his strange behavior.
He skipped dinner last night. He didn't join them for breakfast.Why? Why did he wanted to talk to her so badly? It was only a single day, a period of 24 hours that she refused to accept his calls. Why was he feeling so bad? And why was it hurting her? Was this not what she aimed her? She wanted him not to piss her and she won!

'~~~~

That afternoon, Maanvi was so much upset and decided to call Virat.

"Oh, hello!" Virat sounded excited as he answered her call.

"Kya baath hai, bade khush lag rahe hai! Mujhse baat karne keliye  ithne betaab hai aap?  Aur.. Aapne patha kiya.. mera naam kya hai?" she laughed.

Somehow, her laughter made him smile.

"Tumne kyon phone nahin kiya.. and oh! patha nahin! Tum madhuri ho ya Maansi ho, ya phir..!"

Maanvi chuckled, "bas, mujhe patha lagaa aap ne kithni mehnat ki.. kyon ? Kyon jaanna chahthe ho aap mera naam?"

This was a genuine question, Maanvi wanted to ask him so badly. She only tried to annoy him, right? Then why was he so happy to talk to her?

"Well, ajeeb hai! Hai na, I just- dunno, socha ki hum dost bansakthe hai.. and truly speaking.. I missed you!"

Maanvi smiled at this. She missed him too!

"Aur.. tum ithni achi ho! Mujhe smajhthi ho, I dunno, may be mujhe tum jaisi dost ki zaroorat hai!"

She was amazed at his sincerity.

"Agar tumhe manzoor ho, toh?" he added nervously.

Maanvi's eyes widened. A few days back he was ready to rip her throat and now.. he wanted to be friends?

"Kyon hum aapke layak bhi hai ya nahin, hume nahin patha..aap sach bolrahe hai toh" she closed her eyes, "hume bhi sach bolna chahiye.. pehle toh hum sirf aapko tang karna chahthe the sachchi! Par ab..."
He looked hopeful, "ab?"

"Ab? I think aap bahut achche insaan ho!"

Virat smiled, he felt all light, after so many days! Wait, it was only a day? But he had missed her so much, why was that so?

"Toh aapko manzoor hai, kyon.. huh?"

"Haan, aur mera naam aap mujhe Mannu keh sakthe hai.. kyoun ki mera naam 'man' se shuru hotha hai.. aur meri dost ka bhi.. pehle aap meri dost se baath keejiye.. woh aapko bathayegi.. aur kya patha hum kisi acchi jagah pe mil sakthe hai?"

"Wow! Tum.. tum mujhse milna chahthi ho.. Sach?" Virat ran his fingers through his hair.

"Haan.. kyon nahin! Abhi main aapse phone pe roz baat nahin kar paaoongi!" she looked around.

There was no way she could hide this from her di and Beeji, true.

"Oh, kyoun?" Virat was crest fallen.

"Aap meri dost se baat kijiye.. use toh aap jaanthe honge! Maanvi.."

"Maanvi? Bhabhi ki behna?"

"Haan!" Maanvi didn't know why she was saying that, perhaps to make up for what she had done.

"Woh aapko mujhse milaayegi! " she closed her eyes.

Virat smiled, "really?"

"Haan! Par abhi nahiin!" Maanvi smiled again, "sahin vakhth aane pe hum zaroor milenge!"

She had made up her mind now. She'd meet him after di's shaadi and would apologise. That's the better thing to do!

"Oh well!"  Virat cleared his throat awkwardly,
"kabhi possible ho toh call karna.."

"Okay!" she smiled, "bye.. aur haan! Humesha smile karthe rehnaa.. aapko zyaada smile karne ki zaroorat hai!"

"Oh well, yeah!"
