It is Saturday, May 9th. It is about a week since the incident between Jaimi and Darshan took place at Kelva beach. They both are giving each other silent treatment hoping one would end it. It's around 9 in the morning. Jaimi is in the Google Meet with E - Positive Entertainment heads and Naushad. Darshan, on the other hand, is laying down on the floor in the studio while he's on a Facetime call with Kritesh and Jyugal.
Jyugal: What's up?
Kritesh: Nothing much! Kaam khatam karke baitha hoon.
Jyugal: Ok.
Kritesh: Yeh janab itne ghum sum kyu hain? Jaimi Bhabhi ne khaana dene se mana kar diya?
Darshan: Nahi.
Jyugal: Toh itna kya soch raha hain?
Kritesh: Tere aur Heli ke beech kuch hua, kya?
Jyugal: Woh musibat toh Darshan ki life se gae!
Kritesh: Iska kya matalab?
Jyugal: Darshan ko realize ho gaya ki woh Bhabhi se pyaar karta hain aur usko Heli ka sach bhi pata chal gaya!
Kritesh: Konsa sach? Mujhe toh kuch batate hi nahi ho!
Jyugal: Woh Heli ne Bhabhi ko chot pohchane ki koshish ki thi or I should say maarne ke koshish kiya tha. And, usne Darshan ko cheat bhi kiya tha so yeah! Heli naam ki musibat hum sab ki life se gae.
Kritesh: Mujhe pata tha ki woh thodi crackhead par kisi ka khoon karne ki koshish karegi woh nahi pata tha!
Jyugal: Pata nahi Darshan ko sab aisi kaha se mil jaati hain? No offense, but Rajendra Uncle ne Bhabhi se inn janab ki shaadi na karaae hoti toh yeh kisi good for nothing gold digger se shaadi kar leta aur puri zindagi rota.
Kritesh: True that! Darshan tu kaha khoya hain?
Darshan shakes his head to clear all the thoughts.
Jyugal: Teri aur Bhabhi ki ladaai hue hain kya?
Darshan: Nahi.
Kritesh: Toh kya problem hain?
Darshan: Hum dono ek hafte se ek dusre se baat nahi kar rahe hain!
Jyugal/Kritesh: What?
Jyugal: Tune phirse unke saath kuch kiya toh nahi haina?
Darshan: Of course not!
Kritesh: Toh phir kyu baat nahi kar rahe ho?
Darshan: Dono pe workload kuch zyada hi tha pichle hafte aur mind fresh karne ke liye mein usko Kelva beach leke gaya and... um... you know what I mean...
The two look at him like 'what-in-the-freaking-world-are-you-talking-about'. They shake their head in a no and just stare at the screen.
Darshan: Idiots ho tum dono! Yeah we... flames... ok? Isse zyada kuch nahi!
Kritesh: Okaay!
Jyugal: Isse zyada chahiye bhi nahi!
Darshan: Uske baad se dono ek dusre se baat hi nahi kar rahe hain!
Kritesh: Usmein konsi badi baat hain?
Jyugal: Yeah! Bhabhi probably just wants some time to think about everything.
Darshan: Woh toh mujhe pata hain ki she's thinking, but darr hain ki...
Jyugal: Ki?
Darshan: Ki woh iss shaadi mein ab rehna nahi chahti!
Kritesh: Aisa kyu soch raha hain? Bhabhi ne kuch kaha iss baare mein?
Darshan: Iss incident ke kuch din pehle meri aur uski ek baat hue thi. Heli aur Surbhi ghar pe aae the jab woh so gae thi. Agle din raat ko meine bataya usko ki woh dono aae the taaki woh dono kuch bada chada ke na bol sakhe!
Jyugal: Toh?
Darshan: Usne kaha ki mujhe kyu bata rahe ho aur meine Jaimi ko I love you bol diya. Thodi aur baatein hue aur usne mujhse pucha ki agar woh iss shaadi mein rehna nahi chahati hain toh? I'm scared ki woh mujhe 6 mahine ke baad chod ke chali jaaenge like she said. Meine jab usko mere aur Heli ke baare mein bataya tab usne kaha tha ki mujhe usko divorce dena hoga if I want to or not so... and, bahot logo se suna hain ki Jaimi apni baat se kabhi muqarti nahi hain.
Jyugal: Tension mat le! Bhabhi tujhse pyaar karti hain par apne andar kuch sawaalon ke jawaab dhoondh rahi hain after all that happened.
Kritesh: Agar jo abhi Jyugal ne kaha woh sach hain toh tu relax kar kyu ki jiss Jaimi Patel ke baare mein meine suna hain woh tujhe chodegi nahi. Aur, waise bhi itne waqt tak tumhare saath hain aur apni family ko bataya nahi hain so thodi hope hain unki taraf se ki tum wapas aaoge.
Jyugal: Sahi hain! Just give Bhabhi some time.
Darshan: Aur mere paas chara bhi nahi hain par I'm getting restless and the anxiety ki woh chali jaaegi, jaa hi nahi rahi hain!
Kritesh: Positive reh, sab thik hoga!
They talk for some time before hanging up. Jaimi, on the other end, is on a video call with Chetana.
Jaimi: Hey Di!
Chetana: Hi!
Jaimi: Aap kaha ho?
Chetana: Ghar pe hi hoon! Tera phone aaya toh bahar balcony mein aa gae taaki baat ho sakhe warna...
Jaimi nods her head. She can read Chetana's facial expressions and see that she's tensed.
Jaimi: Itne tension mein kyu ho?
Chetana: Huh?
Jaimi: Itne tension mein kyu ho?
Chetana: Nahi kuch nahi!
Jaimi: Reyansh woh appeal karne wala hain iss liye?
Chetana nods her head.
Chetana: Tu tension mat le! Uss se meri baat ho gae hain.
Jaimi: Kya baat hue?
Chetana: Usne kaha ki mere 40 percent share mein se mein usko 20 percent de doon toh woh custody ki appeal nahi karega!
Jaimi: No need to give him anything! Brijesh se meine facts confirm karwae toh confirm hua ki woh abhi India mein hain aur India ke court mein hi appeal karenga, the one in Gandhinagar! Mein Vijay aur Nitin uncle se baat karlungi. Diya aur Adi kahi nahi jaa rahe hain. And Brijesh, Reyansh ke khilaaf saboot dhoondh raha hain.
Chetana: Reyansh... puri tarah se badal gaya hain! Uski iss girlfriend se pehle hum dost ki tarah baat karte the for the kids, but iss ladki ki wajah se woh ab bacche cheen raha hain kyuki usko pata hain ki mein usko jo chahiye woh de dungi for the kids.
Jaimi: Di, I will handle this my way! I know how to get past through this kind of people aur woh ladki... usse toh mera purana kuch hisaab nikalta hain so don't worry about it!
Chetana: Jai?
Jaimi: I will not get in trouble with the law so don't worry. Ved Patel hi hoon after all so I know my ways through and out of things!
Chetana laughs remembering how she used to call Jaimi, Ved Patel when Jaimi was 5 due to the similarities between them.
Chetana: Tu Ved Kaka hi hain aur uss mein koi saq nahi hain! Tere aur Darshan ke beech kya chal raha hain?
Jaimi: I don't even know! Usne uss ladki ko chod diya jab usko pata chala ki usne mujhe chot pohachayi thi aur marne tak ki koshish ki. And, he said he love me!
Chetana: Knew it!
Jaimi: What?
Chetana: Meri ek baar usse baat hue thi after you told me aur uski tone se hi lag raha tha ki woh tere pyaar mein pad gaya hain! I know ki jo tum dono ke beech hua hain usse bhulana aasaan nahi hain par ek chance toh sabko milta hi haina. He never kept you in the dark and that is the biggest thing. Dad, humesha kehte hain ke Patel family ek body hoti toh tu uska dimaag hoti aur mein uska dil jo saath mein hain par alag hain. I know you didn't want to get married becase you were afraid of faling in love again because of you and Zain. Darshan is not Zain! Give him another chance, you won't regret it!
Jaimi nods her head.
Chetana: That's a yes or no?
Jaimi scrunches up her nose and smiles.
Jaimi: Yes, but iss baar iss Mr. Raval ne kuch kiya toh meri bail karane ke liye aa jaana.
Chetana: Konse charge mein?
Jaimi: Murder!
Chetana: I'm afraid ki iss charge lagne ke baad bail nahi ho sakhti!
Jaimi: Toh jail se bhaagne mein help karna!
Chetana: I'm 110 percent sure ki uski zaroorat nahi padegi! But, masi banane ki khushi ke liye congratulate karne zaroor aaungi!
Jaimi: Arrgh! Di, Please unn baba aadam ke zamaane ki auntiyo ki tarah baat mat karo. I'm so fed up of that sh...
Jaimi bites her tongue reminding her not to finish the word.
Chetana: Watch your language!
Jaimi: I apologize for that!
Jaimi ends the call and gets back to her work. She skips lunch hoping she can finish her work and at least get the Sunday off. She finishes her work by 7 in the evening and cleans off the desk and organizes it before stepping out of the room with her phone. She goes down to the kitchen side to make dinner but spots Darshan eating dinner on the dining table while watching some show on the TV. He turns his attention to Jaimi.
Darshan: Woh dinner meine bana diya hain toh baith jao.
Jaimi nods her head and sits across from him. They both eat in silence like they have been doing for the past few days and clean up. Jaimi goes to their bedroom and straight into the bathroom. She quickly cleans the bathroom then, steps out of her clothes and into the shower. She lets the hot water fall from the rain shower which helps to relax her tensed muscle. She steps out after 10 minutes or so and dries herself. She goes to the closet and changes into her pajama. She goes down the stairs and sees Darshan standing in the balcony. She goes to the balcony and sees him lost in his thought that he didn't even notice her presence. She stands in front of him and hugs him as tight as she can. His trance breaks and he looks down to see Jaimi hugging him as she hides her face in the crook of his neck. He stands there shocked not knowing what to do.
After a few minutes, he returns the hug. She looks up into his brown orbs.
Darshan: Kya hua?
Jaimi doesn't reply and again hides her face in his neck. He sighs and kisses her forehead.
Darshan: Jaimi?
Jaimi: Hmm.
Darshan: Kya hua?
Jaimi: Baat kar sakhte hain?
Darshan hums in response. Before Jaimi could walk towards the seating, she's lifted off the ground. After a few moments, Darshan places her down on the step-down seating of the balcony. He sits about a foot away from her giving her some space. She places her hand on the white cushioned space beside her and pats it a few times forming something to say in her mind which is completely blank as of now.
Darshan: Are you ok?
His voice knocks her out of her trance. She focuses her attention on him.
Darshan: Tumhe kuch baat karni thi?
Jaimi nods her head. Darshan opens his mouth to say something, but Jaimi beats him to it.
Jaimi: I'm sorry!
Darshan: Huh?
Jaimi: I'm sorry!
Darshan: Haan matalab nahi, haan. Meine suna par tum sorry kyu bol rahi ho?
Jaimi: I... I...
She looks down not able to form a proper sentence. She draws random patterns on the space beside her looking down at her hand. He looks between her face and her hand as it moves on the space in between them. He places his hand on top of hers and she jerks at his unexpected action. He scoots close to her and embraces her in a hug. He fondles her hair to calm her down. He is about to move back when she wraps her arms around him. Their eyes lock and she looks down again as she hides her face in his neck.
Jaimi: I'm sorry!
She says it lowly and snuggles close to him. Her short warm caresses his neck and he stiffens.
Darshan: For what baby?
Jaimi: I'm sorry that I pushed you away every time you tried to solve things between us. The anxiety ki tum mujhe chod ke chale jaoge woh nahi jaa rahi hain. Mujhe darr lagta hain ki tum mujhe chod ke chale jaaoge!
Darshan: Shhh...
Darshan cups her face and caresses her cheeks with the pad of his thumbs.
Darshan: Tum kyu sorry bol rahi ho? I'm sorry! Mere ek galat decision ki wajah se tumhe itna sab hua aur tumhari jaan pe bhi ban aae thi. Tumhari family bhi hurt hue hain meri wajah se. I'm sorry! And, mein agle saath janam tak tumhare paas hi hoon!
Jaimi looks into his soft brown eyes. She can read an emotion which she knows for sure is love. She hugs him as tight as she can. He kisses her forehead and wraps his arms around her.
Jaimi/Darshan: I'm sorry!
They both chuckle and lock their eyes.
Jaimi/Darshan: I love you!
Darshan is beyond shocked hearing the words come out of her mouth. He blinks his eyes a few times to make sure this is not a dream.
Darshan: Kya bola?
Jaimi bites her lips and looks down shyly. She shrugs her shoulders.
Jaimi: Kuch nahi!
She looks away to tease him.
Darshan: Yeh mere sawaal ka jawaab nahi hain!
Jaimi: I don't know what you're talking about!
She gets up and starts to walk away, but he grabs her wrist. In one swift move, she is seating on his lap with his arms capturing her.
Darshan: Kya kaha?
Jaimi shrugs her shoulders again to tease him. He starts tickling her. She breaks into a fit of laughter.
Darshan: Ab toh bataogi tab hi rukunga warna hasti raho!
She holds her stomach with one hand while using the other one to pry off his hands.
Darshan: Bataogi ya nahi?
Jaimi: Okay okay stop! Batati hoon.
She says it in between her laughter. He stops and wraps his arms around her and pulls her close.
Jaimi: I... I...
He loosens his grip on her and she sets her feet on the ground. She keeps her hand on his chest and pushes him down a bit. She covers his eyes with her hand and stands up.
Jaimi: Meine kaha ki I...
Darshan: I?
Jaimi: I'm sleepy, bye!
She runs away before he could catch her. He runs after her into the house and closes the sliding door. He spots her running towards the stairs and he sprints there and blocks her way up the stairs. She runs towards the dining area. She runs off into the kitchen and the two end up around the island in the kitchen. She thinks about a way of running away, but before that, he jumps over the island and stops in front of her. He moves towards her and she moves backward until she hits the kitchen counter. He smirks at her and she looks down at the little space in between them. He quickly closes the distance and his body is against hers. She holds the edge of the counter behind her for support.
Darshan: So?
Jaimi bites her lips as she keeps her gae down.
Darshan: Mujhe dekh ke accha laga ki Jaimi Patel ki mein bolti band karwa sakhta hoon!
The various sensations in her body cause her body to heat up. Her cheeks turn red as she continues to bite her lip. He presses his thumb against her lower lip and frees it from her teeth.
Darshan: Don't bite your lips or else...
Jaimi: Or?
Darshan: Or you will get punished!
Jaimi: Konsi punishment?
He leans down and presses his lips against hers. Their lips against each other feel perfect like two puzzle pieces completing each other. He leans closer until her elbows are on the cold counter. He wraps his arms around her waist and lifts her off the ground. He sets her down on the counter and buckles her legs around his waist. He licks her lower lip asking for entrance which she gladly gives. She parts her lips and he enters her mouth. The fireworks within them explode giving both the feeling and sensation which they never felt before. Her hands make their way into his hair as their tongues wrestle for dominance. She backs out and follows his lead. She moans as his cold hands slip under her shirt and start to explore her bare skin. She lightly tugs his hair to control the hot sensual sensation, but it only increases. He groans in her mouth. They pull away after a few moments as they gasp for air. He breathlessly attacks her neck and starts to pull up her shirt.
Jaimi: D... Darshan?
He pulls away to face her.
Darshan: Kya hua? Did I go too far?
Jaimi shakes her head.
Jaimi: Um... hum... I... hum... kitchen... mein... hain.
He nods his head and lifts her up. She wraps her arms around his neck for safety as he starts moving towards the staircase turning off the lights on their way. They make it into the bedroom and he locks the door behind him to make sure no one can enter. He gently lays her down on the bed and she starts climbing backward. He climbs on top of her and again, they connect their lips. He pulls away after a few minutes and starts attacking her neck. She moans when he kisses her sensual spot on her lower neck near the front right trapezius. He pecks the spots a few times and she fists the bedsheet. He feels sweat trickling down his forehead. He gets up and takes off his shirt. He throws it on the sofa and adjusts the tempreture of the AC as she stares at his muscular back. He turns and she looks up at the ceiling. He again starts his torture on her. She digs her nails into his muscular back. He sits up and settles her down on his lap. They connect their lips and he starts opening the buttons of her black silk shirt. He is successful at removing the shirt off her body and throws it on the floor. He lays her down again flat on her back and starts showering wet kisses on her face and neck. He moves back to her luscious lips and captures them. They pull away after a minute or two. He looks into her shining black orbs asking for permission to move forward. He sees a faint fear in her eyes. He kisses her forehead and plops down on his side. He turns off the lights using the switch near his nightstand. He pulls the comforter over them and she cuddles close to him. He wraps his arms around her securely. After a few minutes of peaceful silence, Jaimi decides to break it.
Jaimi: Darshan.
He hums in response.
Jaimi: I love you!
Darshan: I love you too tigress!
She smiles and snuggles close to him as much as possible. He kisses her forehead and they eventually fall asleep in each other's arms.
Jaimi wakes up around 11 the next morning. She sits up and stretches as her eyes adjust to the light. She looks around the room to see it filled with silence. Darshan is nowhere in sight. She tries to find her shirt which is missing at the moment just like Darshan. She spots his t-shirt on the sofa. She grabs his t-shirt on her way to the bathroom and puts it on. She brushes her teeth and puts her hair up in a messy bun. She makes her way downstairs to see Darshan making breakfast. She helps him. Then, she makes her way to the dining area and sets up the table. He places the breakfast then, goes back to the kitchen to grab their tea. He hands her the cup and kisses her forehead.
Darshan: Mere kapdo mein acchi lagti ho tigress!
Jaimi glares at him with irritation, but it quickly turns into a smirk.
Jaimi: Thank you bunny!
Darshan glares at her and she laughs it off.
Jaimi: Ab tum mujhe tigress bulaoge toh mein tumhe bunny bulaungi!
Darshan: Mein tumhare bold aur competitive nature ko dekh ke tigress bula raha hoon aut tum mujhe bunny bula rahi ho! Out of all the animals in the world, a bunny?
Jaimi puts on her awe expression.
Jaimi: Yes, because you are cute just like a bunny!
Darshan rolls his eyes and puts on his irritated expression. Jaimi stifles her laughter. They quickly clean up and Darshan runs to the bathroom. She rolls her eyes in annoyance. She cleans up the bedroom and finds her shirt sitting on the far end of the room. He comes out of the bathroom in a towel and sees her doing something on her phone. He moves towards the closet.
Jaimi: Darshan?
Darshan: Yeah!
Jaimi: Are you into cricket?
Darshan: Yeah! Why?
Jaimi: Tum aaj ka match dekhne wale ho?
Darshan: Yeah!
Jaimi: Ok then, wait for me!
She drops her phone on the bed and runs to the bathroom. She throws her clothes into the laundry basket and steps into the shower.
Darshan: Jai!
Jaimi: Yeah?
Darshan: Mein theatre room mein hoon! Wahi pe match dekhenge.
Jaimi: K!
Darshan goes to the kitchen and makes popcorn. He takes them to the theatre room and starts to set it up waiting for Jaimi's arrival. Jaimi makes her way to the theatre and stands in awe of the sight in front of her. Darshan has a remote in his hands as he's setting up the projector and is clean-shaved.
She takes her seat beside him. They enjoy the match which ends around 4 in the afternoon. Darshan turns off the system in the room and they sit in dark with only one sptlight on in the room which is by the door.
Darshan: Mujhe bhukh lagi hain!
Jaimi: Aww! Yeh bunny kya khaega?
She pinches his cheeks and he tries to pry off her hands which really doesn't work.
Darshan: Stop calling me bunny!
Jaimi srunches her nose.
Jaimi: Nope! You look cute on a regular day. Aur, clean shave karne ke baad chote bacche ki tarah lagte ho so you see its not my fault!
Darshan puffs his cheeks and glares at her playfully. He leans closer to her ear and whispers.
Darshan: Yeh bunny bahot kuch kar sakhta hain!
She keeps a neutral experssion fighting the urge to smile. She gets up to leave, but he pulls her down and she lands on top of him. He rolls one last time so he's on top. He captures her pink lips and savors it. It starts off slow, but quickly catches pace.
