"Rehaan....." Zaid called out Rehaan when he saw him exiting the office building with Haneef and Mehek.
"Haan " Rehaan stopped
"Mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai..."
"Haan bolein"
"Akele mein" Zaid rubbed his neck
"Hmm...Mehek mai aata hun " Rehaan said and started walking with Zaid towards the parking lot.
"Haan...kya baat hai.."
"Wo toh tum bataoge Rehaan"
"Huh....baat aap karna chahte the ..mai nahin.." Rehaan leaned on the bonnet of a car
"Ok....I shall begin then...messages kyun delete kiye?"
"Kaun se messages?"
"Rehaan itne bhole nahin ho tum ki tumhe samajh hi nahi aa raha kuch...kal mera phone ke sath kya kiya tumne?"
"Had hai.. ek toh phone theek karo....upar se ilzaam bhi le lo......maine nahin manga tha..aapne khud diya tha phone mere haath me" Rehaan frowned
"Rehaan .. kyun kar rahe ho ye sab...bhabhi ko yahaan kyun bulaya?"
"Arre maine bas likha tha you are missing them.....mujhe kya pata tha wo hawaai jahaz ban kar yahaan land kar jayengi" Rehaan shrugged drawing pattern on a car..."Ek minute......aap isliye toh nahin ro rahe kyunki aapka bhanda phut gaya........."
"Shut up Rehaan....us samay mai bahut kashmakash me tha.........Abbu Ammi ko pata nahi kaise pata chal gaya ... aur unhone bas do options diye "Ya to Mehek ya to family"
"Aur aapne family chun liya...koi baat nahin....lekin ek baar bhi us ladki ke baare me socha jo ghanton se raat ke andhere me baithe aapka intizaar kar rahi thi" Rehaan glared at Zaid who lowered his eyes
"Arre kam se kaam mujhe toh phone kar sakte the..ki use ghar pahucha do but nahin.....aapne kya kiya.. phone ko out of reach kar diya......ek baar bhi khayaal nahin aaya ki us ladki ka kya" Rehaan's voice rose
"Mujhe kuch samajh nahin aa raha tha......." Zaid whispered
"Samajh nahi aa raha tha ya samajhna nahi chahte the"
Rehaan scoffed "Khair....aapko choose karne ka mauka mila aapne kar liya...ab unke peeche kyun pade hain"
"Kyunki ab Abbu Ammi maan gaye hain.......maine unhe kaise bhi kar ke mana liya..isliye toh maine late se join bhi kiya yahaan" Zaid smiled
"Waah.....mujhe lagta tha ki mai bahut selfish hun...aapne toh jhande gaad diye bhai.....matlab jab man kiya gale laga liya aur jab man kiya dhakka de diya"
"Rehaan...mai manta hun mujhse bahut badi galti ho gayi lekin....tum baat karo na usse...wo tumhari baat bahut manti hai..use samjha na"
"Trust me..bhai...I am the last person you would want her to talk to regarding this" Rehaan's gruff voice made Zaid narrow his eyes at him
"Kya matlab....?"
"Matlab bahut saaf hai....mai nahin chahta ki aap dono ke beech me kuch bhi theek ho" Rehaan whistled lightly stretching his arms
"Tum kab se itne kamine ho gaye.....?"
"Bas aap se hi seekh raha hun...aapne toh PHD kar hi li hai" Rehaan smiled
"I am surprised.....aapne kabhi janne ki koshish nahin ki....kya hua Mehek ke sath us raat? Itni raat me akele...."
Before Rehaan could complete his sentence, Zaid interrupted
"Sab kuch theek raha hoga..isliye aaj yahaan hai..."
"Well...you should thank me for that...maine unhe ghar tak pahuchaya tha us raat.....ab aapke jaise aashiq hon toh doston par hi rely karna padta hai "
