*****************

Dev looked in shock at Sonakshi as his ears were still buzzing due to the slap, he could not understand why the girl standing in front of her did that, the first time they met on the ferry she had shouted on him but today she had just slapped him, he was about to speak when someone interrupted

"What happened Ma'am, any problem?" asked Mr.Patel, he had seen the whole scenario unfolding in front of him

Sonakshi was still fuming in anger as she shot a withered look at Dev who still seemed dazed at the events that had just unfolded.

"Problem, Meri problem aapkey iss Barista se hai" she said as Dev could not control himself any longer

"Excuse Miss, Naa toh main aapko jaanta hoon aur naa toh aap mujhey. Uss din bhi aapney mujhsey gussey se baat ki aur aaj toh hadd hi kar di aapney. Aap batayengi aapki problem kya hai mujhsey. Hai kaun aap?" he asked as Sonakshi kept looking at him angrily

"Just shut up, aur bhool ke bhi ye jaan ney ki koshish matt karna ki main kaun hoon. Aur meri problem tum jaisey ladkon se hai, jiss tarah ki harkatein hain tumhari tumhey yahan nahi Jail main hona chahiye" she spoke agitatedly as Dev looked at her in confusion unable to understand what she was alluding to.

Before both could have a go at each other again Mr.Patel intervened "Dekhiye Ma'am, mujhey lagta hai koi misunderstanding hui hai aapko lekin aap jaisa keh rahi hai Dev bilkul aisa nahi hai. Aur Dekhiye ye humarey liye peak time hai, please iss waqt yahan koi tamasha matt khada kijiye. Aap mere saath chaliye, mere office main baithiye. Main Dev ko wahin lata hoon, aap dono ke beech main jo bhi issues hai aap wahan solve kar lijiye, please" he pleaded trying to control the situation before it went out of hand.

But Sonakshi was not ready to hear anything more "Mujhey kisi se kuch baat nahi karni aur iss sey se bilkul nahi" she said looking at Dev who kept quiet listening to her ramblings, she continued "Aur Waisey bhi mujhey jo pata karna tha main ney pata kar liya hai" as she turned to leave while Dev looked on.

Sonakshi had just taken a couple of steps when she turned back and giving Dev a menacing look she said "DEV KASHYAP, ALL THE BEST. TUMHARA BURA WAQT SHURU HO GAYA HAI" as she stormed off as Dev just kept looking at her retreating figure but suddenly a thought stuck him, she knew his name.

*****************

Dev was sitting on his chair looking into the night sky as his thoughts went back to the happenings of the evening, he was trying hard to remember if he knew the girl but every time it led him to the same conclusion and that was he did not know her. But surprisingly it seemed the girl knew him and already had formed a very bad opinion about him. Already his life was complicated and add to that this girl was adding more complications to it as his mind only remembered one thing she had said "DEV KASHYAP, ALL THE BEST. TUMHARA BURA WAQT SHURU HO GAYA HAI" so lost was he in his thoughts that he did not hear Ranveer who had just arrived calling him out.

"Dev, Dev..." Ranveer called him as Dev came out of his trance "Huh, Arey Ranveer Tu kab aaya?" he asked

"Main toh pichley paanch minute se yahi hoon Dev, Lekin tu kahan kho gaya?" asked Ranveer as Dev said "Nahi kahin nahi Ranveer?"

"Tu aaj shaam ko jo hua uskey baarey main soch raha hai?" asked Ranveer as Dev looked at him in surprise before he could reply Ranveer added "Bunty ne mujhey bataya" as Dev nodded. Ranveer asked Dev to tell in detail about the incident as Dev narrated about it.

"Bhai, kuch toh baat hai. Warna ye ladki tujhsey aisey kyun baat karti" said Ranveer as Dev finished narrating the incident

"Wahin toh pata nahi Yaar, I just hope that I do not meet her ever again" said Dev as he once again was lost in thoughts which did not go unnoticed by Ranveer

"Accha ab ye sab chodd, mere paas tere liye kuch hai" said Ranveer as he took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to Dev, As Dev opened it he was surprised but the next moment he hugged Ranveer into a brotherly hug "Thanks Ranveer", Ranveer had just handed over the tickets to India to Dev for his engagement.

"Saaley dost ko thanks bolta hai, Chal ab utt aur jaaney ki tayari kar. Parson subah flight hai teri" he said as both got up and proceeded to pack Dev's bags. They had decided to buy gifts for Dev's & Natasha's family the next day. After completing the packing, they called it a night.

*****************

"Bhagwaan, Please sab kuch theek se ho jaaye" prayed Dev kneeling before God, he had landed in Delhi in the morning and had travelled in a train and bus simultaneously to reach his village, he had called up his childhood friend Rakesh to pick him up from the bus stop. After picking him up Rakesh insisted on visiting the temple located in the outskirts of their village which surprised Dev considering he was eager to his family but then he agreed, little did he know about the events that were about to unfold at the temple.

Just as Dev turned after praying his eyes met someone and he was surprised but soon the surprise was replaced by happiness as standing before him was his father. A bright smile formed on his face as he moved forward and bent down to take his blessings by touching his feet but what happened next left Dev speechless, his father just moved away not allowing him to touch his feet. As Dev looked up he saw his father turn his face away from him, as Dev looked closely he could see anger and sadness on his father's face, he was left perplexed.

He was about to ask his father when a felt a hard slap on his face as he stuttered, regaining his control he looked up to see who did that and what he saw gave him the second shock. Standing before him was Natasha's father with an enraged face, before Dev could speak he slapped him once again.

"Teri himmat kaisey hui meri beti aur hum sab ko dhoka dene ki" he said as Dev looked gobsmacked, never in his imaginations he could expect something like this to happen.

"Uncle, Aap kya keh rahey hai. Mujhey kuchh samajh main nahi aa raha" he said regaining his composure as his father stood all silent.

"Accha, Baat toh aisey kar raha hai jaisey tujhey kuch pata hi na ho" he replied sarcastically as Dev's confusion increased.

"Uncle, mera yakeen kijiye. Mujhey sach main pata nahi ki aap kya keh rahey hai" he said again as Natasha's father's anger increased seeing Dev not acknowledging his deceit.

Before he could speak anything, Dev's father intervened "Trivedi Ji, ek minute main Dev se baat karta hoon" he said and turned towards Dev to know the truth.

"Dev, inka kehna ye hai ki Tu ne hum sab ko dhoka diya hai, Tu America main kisi software company main nahi balki kisi Bar main kaam karta hai, Kya ye sach hai Dev" he asked as the earth slipped below Dev's feet, never in his dreams that the truth would come in front of everyone this way, words failed him as he stood silently unable to meet his father's eyes.

Seeing Dev standing quietly his father could understand what Natasha's father was saying was true indeed, but he wanted to hear it from his son "Sach bata Dev, kya ye jo keh rahey hai wo sach hai?" he asked again as Dev could nothing but nod his head in agreement.

And the very next moment he felt a couple of slaps on his face from his father who was enraged beyond control, he was about to hit him again when Dev's friend stopped him "Uncle, please sambhaliye apney aap ko, Dev ko ek baar kuch kehne ka mauka toh dijiye" as he calmed down a bit.

Dev composed himself and went towards his father "Pitaji ek baar meri baat toh suniye, main majboor tha" before he could continue Natasha's father interrupted.

"Kyun Kashyap Ji, ab toh aap ko pata chal gaya na ki aap ka beta dhokeybaaz hai. Ab iss sey wo doosri baat bhi poochiye" he said as looked up in surprise wondering what else he was indicating at. "Kaunsi baat?" he asked

"Yahi ki America main tum ek ladki jo tumharey bachey ki maa ban ney wali hai uss sey dhoka de rahey ho" he said as Dev was left tongue-tied listening to him.

"Uncle ye kya keh rahey hai aap?" Main ney aisa kuch nahi kiya" he replied

"Jhoot, ek aur jhoot. Aur kitna jhoot bologey tum Dev. Dekh liya Kashyap sahab apney bete ki sachai aur aap apney aisey beti ki shaadi meri beti se karvana chahtey they" he said in an accusing tone

"Pitaji, please mera yakeen kijiye. Haan main maanta hoon ki mainey mere naukri ke baarey main aap sab se jhoot bola lekin main ney kisi ladki ko dhoka nahi diya hai. Please mera yakeen kijiye pitaji" he said in a pleading tone to his father who was just slumped quietly on the temple floor unable to bear the deceit of his son, he got up and went towards Natasha's father.

"Trivedi ji, Mujhey maaf kar dijiye. Mere bete ki galti ke liye mujhey maaf kar dijiye" he said with folded hands as Dev was gobsmacked seeing his father, he ran towards him and held his hands.

"Pitaji, ye aap kya kar rahey hain. Please aap maafi matt mangiye, galti meri hai" he moved his father aside and folding his hands in apology he spoke "Uncle, Aapki beti ka gunhagaar main hoon please mujhey maaf kar dijiye" he pleaded was Natasha's father was unmoved.

Seeing him quiet Dev moved towards Natasha who was standing with her mother and was looking in anger towards Dev "Natasha, mujhey maaf kar do" Dev said and added "Lekin agar tumhey ye shaadi nahi karni thi toh mujhey uss din hi keh deti jiss din main ney tumsey mere naukri ki sachai batai thi. Ye sab karney ki kya zaroorat thi" he said as everyone looked stunned listening to Dev.

"Ye tum kya keh rahey ho, tumney mujhsey ye baat kab kahi?" asked Natasha in confusion

"Ye tum kya keh rahi ho Natasha, uss din jab hum phone pe baat kar rahey they uss din main ney tumhey bataya toh tha aur poocha bhi tha ki kya tum iss shaadi ke liye ready ho. Aur tumney haan kaha tha" he said as Natasha was left speechless as she realized what Dev was talking off, it was the day when she had slept while talking to him, she was regretting that now.

But before she could speak Natasha's father spoke "Ye kya keh rahey ho tum, Natasha beta kya ye sach hai?" as Natasha replied "Papa, Haan inn honey call kiya tha lekin mujhey ye pata nahi tha ki inhoney iss baat ke liye mujhey call kiya hai, wo insey baat kartey kartey meri aankh lag gayi thi. Aur Waisey bhi agar mujhey pata hota ki inhoney ye baat kehne ke liye call kiya that oh main ye rishta uss waqt hi tod chuki hoti" she said as Dev was again left shocked, he was under the impression that Natasha was ready for the marriage even after knowing his truth, but never did he know that she had in fact not heard him that day.

"Jo bhi ho, sachai ye hai ki isney hum sabko yahan tak ki apney gharwalon ko bhi dhoka diya hain aur aisey ladkey se main toh kya koi bhi pita apni beti ka rishta nahi jod sakta, Ye toh accha hua ki SONAKSHI beti ne humey waqt rehtey sachai bata di" said Natasha's father as Dev looked perplexed listening to the girl's name

"Ji SONAKSHI?" he questioned as Natasha's father replied "Haan Sonakshi, Sonakshi Sharma. Natasha ki bachpan ki dost. Wahi ladki jissney tumari sachai humey batai. Wahin ladki jisney tumhey uss din Thapad maara tha aur meri beti zindagi ko barbaad honey se bacha liya" as it now dawned upon Dev whom he was talking about as now he could link back to the incidents that happened, he sighed defeatedly like a broken soul but what happened shattered him further.

"DEV CHALEY JAA YAHAN SE AUR DOBARA APNA CHEHRA HUMEY MATT DIKHANA" said his father as Dev was left speechless listening to him.

"Pitaji, Yeh aap kya keh rahey hain? Please aisa matt kahiye" he pleaded but his father was unmoved as Dev sighed in defeat

"Papa ek baar mujhey Maa se..." he spoke but before he could continue his father stopped him "Apni Maa se milney ki sochna bhi matt Dev, agar usey teri sacchai ke baarey main pata chala toh wo she nahi payegi"

"Pitaji lekin..." he said to be interrupted again "Agar tum apni Maa se zara bhi pyar kartey ho toh aur uski respect kartey ho toh tumhey uski kasam, apna chehra dobara kabhi matt dikhana humey" he said with a finality in his voice as Dev could not utter anything more "Theek hai Pitaji" he said in a defeated tone with tears glistening his eyes.

Dev's father apologized once again to Natasha's family after which everyone left from there except Dev who was left shattered, never did he think that fate would turn against him in such a brutal way. After some time, he requested his friend to drop him at the airport.

*****************

Sonakshi smiled as she cut the call, Natasha had just informed her about the happenings and thanked her for helping her out.

She opened Dev's photo and pressing the delete button she said "SO Mr.DEV KASHYAP, ITS TIME YOU GET DELETED FROM MY PHONE JUST LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN DELETED FROM MY FRIEND's LIFE. I HOPE YOU HAVE LEARNT YOUR LESSON & NEVER MEET ME EVER AGAIN"

While on the other hand Dev who was seated in the plane had only one thought going on in his mind "Ms.SONAKSHI SHARMA, TUMHARI WAJAH SE MAIN NE APNI FAMILY KHO DI HAI. TUMHARA ACCHA WAQT SHURU HO GAYA HAI, Ms.SHARMA"
