LOVE LAPATA 🌙

chapter 71

the love is lost
but the longing is still there
the heart is calm
but the moarning is still there

.
Shehnaaz is out for shopping with Rajveer , basically on his insistence . Beacuse its his friend's wedding next week and he does have any idea what to gift the couple , hence he has asked for our girl's help . Problem is whatever Shehnaaz chooses , Rajeev doesnt like it , hence its taking a long time to buy the gift . Finally they go to cosmos mall . " Idhr bhi kuch pasand nahi aaya toh main ghar chali jaungi . Rajveer its been a long time I am tired ... " , she complains . " Okay baba " , Rajeev smiles .

While passing by a musical instrument shop , Shehnaaz's eyes fall on something and she enters there . She picks up some cds and reads out " Monsoon by Slayer! "

Rajveer on realising Shehnaaz isnt with him anymore , he turns around to look for her nervously  . On searching 5 6 shops , finally finds her . He too enters the shop .

" Kya kar rahi ho idhr ? You know how startled I was on not finding you ? " , he says while panting .

Shehnaaz exclaims in excitement- Sorry yaar ... but see what I found ! "

Rajveer - What ?

Shehnaaz - Slayer's music cd !

Rajeev - So ? Yeh dena hai as gift ?

Shehnaaz - I didnt mean that ...

Rajveer is suspicious - Kya baat hai Shehnaaz , I never heard you listening to western music , then why are you so excited about this ?

Shehnaaz - Rajveer do one thing , you go and try to find out a suitable gift . I will join you within 15 mins . I have some business to take care of .

Rajveer - But ...

Shehnaaz - I said na ... Go !

Rajveer is a little upset with her behaviour , still he leaves without saying anything .

Meanwhile Shehnaaz buys the entire music album . Her eyes really twinkle and her cheeks glow as she walks out of the shop .

Eventually Rajveer and Shehnaaz buys a crokery set and get into their car to get back home .

Rajveer steal glances from Shehnaaz and she notices that . She questions him , " kuch kehna hai kya tumhe ? "

Rajveer - About the shop incident , did you buy those cds ?

Shehnaaz - Rajveer actually I forgot to tell you , Slayer is Sidharth , the guy who stayed at your home that night .

Rajveer reluctantly says - Ohh

Shehnaaz - And when I saw his cds in that shop , I was really excited for some reason , so I bought all the cds . But now that I think of it , I dont understand why .

Rajveer - He must be really close to you na ... I havent seen you smiling like that in a long while .

Shehnaaz - Aisa kuch nahi hai . By the way , why do you sound disapointed ? Is anything wrong ?

Rajveer - Nothing ...

He refuses but his pale face is saying otherwise .

.
At Dubai -

Kushal is living in Sidharth's guest house . After dinner , they sit in the balcony to chat . Finally after 10 freaking years the two best friends are speaking their hearts out .

Sidharth - So your mom is has cancer hence you need those moeny for her treatment ?

Kushal - Yes ... I came to Dubai to earn lots of money for my mom , but ended up being in such a mess !

Sidharth - Dont worry at all , I will look over the matter in my way . Aur aunty ki treatment mein bhi koi problem nahi hogi .

Kushal - I never thought you will can be so helpful to me one day . Thank you so much Sidharth

Sidharth - Yeh tareef thi ya beizzati ?

Kushal - Obviously tareef ! Am I in a position to do your beizzati ?

Sidharth - Nahi yaar I owe you . Faltu mein tere bareme kitna galat socha maine

Kushal - Not only to me , you owe to Shehnaaz as well . See I dont know whether now I should tell this thing or not , but I feel you should know that Shehnaaz never did you wrong !

Sidharth sighs - I get it now . I get it why she hates me so much till date . Beacuse I deserve it .

Kushal is shocked - What do you mean by till date ? Did you meet her ?

Sidharth nods to yes .

Kushal shouts -  Dude tell me more about it !!!!

Sidharth replies - She came to my concert oblivious of the fact that I am slayer . After that we have met 2 3 times more .

Kushal - And ?

Sidharth - And what ?

Kushal - What did you two talk about ?

Sidharth - I know you are dying to know our conversations but trust me , they are not worth knowing about .

Kushal kicks his leg and yells - Woh main dekh luga tu bas bakk ... Yaad nahi how hard I shipped you two in school ?

Sidharth stops Kush before his imaginations run wild - Yaar aisa kuch bhi nahi hai jaisa tu soch raha . She hates me now , she cant stand my sight even for a second ! And probably has a boyfriend too ... Moreover , bro I am definitely not interested in her !! Like be serious I am the Sidharth Razdan , the Slayer !! I have all women wrapped around my finger ... I date a different girl everyday , I go for one night stands every now and then , I dont want to invest my time and enrgy on a single girl anymore !!

Kush - Why are you geting so hyper dude chill ... and plss exclude Shehnaaz from " all women " , just now you said na she hates you ?

Sidharth gets irritated and gets up to leave , but stops when Kushal says , " Agar tu usse pyaar nahi bhi karta , toh bhi woh terese ek sorry toh deserve karti hi hai , right ? "

He turns around and yells - Kush , I dont want to talk about her now

Kushal - Running away isnt a solution... Listen I am going back to India next week , tu bhi chal mere sath

Sidharth firmly refuses  - I cant ... I am leaving for Canada day after tomorrow for my music concert

Kushal - Are you sure ? I know i dont have any right to force you , still do give a second thought ...

Sidharth introspects for a while and then finally answers , " I can go , but only to visit your mom ... aunty ko namaste bol dunga"

Kushal - Sirf maa se milne India wapas jayega tu ?

Sidharth - Aur nahi toh kya ? Let me talk to my manager , he will book the tickets .

Saying this he leaves . As he lays on his bed , he smiles thinking about seeing Shehnaaz soon ...
