To be Young and in Love!

Silence

"Any more questions?" I asked. After a long gap, she says "Yup. One last question." "Go on."
"Will you write a poem for me?"

I was shocked by the question. I didn't know what to answer because she questioned very abruptly. I was confused and it was clearly visible. My heart was beating fast, my mind was filled with many thoughts and alternatives to answer, all of a sudden there were shivers all over my body. I took a deep breath and looked at her. She seemed to be eagerly waiting for my answer. I didn't want to hurt her but I also didn't wanted to lie to her.

"My poems are written for someone I love. So for now its only the moon."I said trying to be calm.
"So it means, the day you write a poem for someone other than the moon, you are in love with them?" She asked.
"Yes!" I replied. Happy that she understood my intentions.

~Silence again. The only thing going on between us is silence. I fall in love with her silence too.~

I looked to her side, she wasn't staring at the moon but she was looking at me. But when she saw me looking at her, she suddenly looked at the roads below. She was nervous and I could tell it very easily. Her hands were shaking and she looked lost. As if she was caught stealing something. ~She did steal my heart tho~ I moved a bit closer to her, she looked at me again. We had an intensely close stare for few minutes, she broke the stare when a notification popped on her phone. I smiled and settled myself right beside her. Her hands were still shaking, I reached out to her phone kept it aside, turned towards her side. "My phone?" She spoke softly, more like a whisper. I kept my finger on her lips and said "Shhhh". I saw her blush. I held her hand and looked into her eyes. For few minutes, her hands were still shaking. They stopped when I started to talk. 

"Is everything is fine? If there's anything you wanna talk about, feel free to do so. Okay? Your hands, they were shivering. If I can help you in any way let me know." She nods and says "Hold me like these for some more time." I smile and nod. She relaxes her hands in mine and without us knowing we interlocked our hands.The night passed with our hands interlocked and my soul slowly falling in love.

"How do you go to college daily?" I broke the silence after few beautiful minutes.
"By the local bus or sometimes by auto." She answered.
"Come with me. Anyways we stay at the same place and we have to go to the same place." I suggested.
"No thanks. I am fine going by my own." She said. I wanted to convince her but instead I said "Okay, but if at all you want a ride, don't hesitate to ask. Okay?" She nods her head.

I move my hand from hers and give back her phone. While she is checking the phone, I got a clear view of her. The bright light from her phone directly reflecting on her face made me observe her minute details. Details like, her cheeks, which were pink, her eyes filled with innocence and her nose was cute. Her smile when she called out my name to show me a meme was fascinating. I heard her giggle and I was losing my mind. The night sky helped me in keeping my feelings a secret. I looked at her just the way I look at the moon. She is the type of person who would make you fall in love with love itself, without doing anything. I really loved her. But, I wont let my feelings out. I don't want to risk anything. What we have is enough.

After few minutes, I check the time and its 9:30, I start humming a song and so is Isha.
We turn to each other and figure out that we both hummed the same song and we smiled.

*Abhi na jao chod kar, ke dil abhi bhaara nahi!*

 ~A classic song by Asha Bhosle and Mohd. Rafi~

We look into each others eyes and continue humming, when she suddenly looks at the moon and smiles. Seeing that view I too have a huge smile on my face. I hope I don't look like an idiot with this smile on my face. 
After we were done humming the song, we both gave each other a thumbs up and smiled at each other. She moved a bit closer to me, and with every second passing by my heart was racing fast. After she got settled in the place, she looked at me and didn't smile. She was just staring and due to the darkness I couldn't see her expressions properly. "All fine?" I asked. "Yes!" she whispered "It's good when you are beside." With that I had goosebumps all over. "Likewise!" I said and after few minutes we decided to go back home. 

TARA'S POV:

I was laying on my bed and thought about two magical moments happened today. First, the way her hands perfectly fit into mine. Second, out of thousands of songs in the music industry, we both sang the same song at the same time. If this isn't magic, I don't know what is? I am in love, I clearly am. Do I tell that to her? Nope, I couldn't take it if she didn't feel the same way towards me. Just because she is comfortable with me, doesn't necessarily mean she likes me. Right? With the scenes of terrace repeatedly playing in my head, i drifted off to sleep. I was happy to see her. And she said that its good when I am beside. Today was - MAGICAL!

ISHA'S POV:

I came home, but a part of me is still on the terrace sensing her hand on mine. A part of me wants to tell her everything about me and a part of me doesn't want to indulge in her life. But love makes people go to any extent, just to see the person you love smile. I wanted her to smile and wanted me to be the reason. I loved her since the day I saw her. I saw her while we both were under the moon and she was talking about the person she loved back then. She was so in love with that person that while talking about her, she cried. I saw her crying and a part of me didn't wanted her to cry. Till date she doesn't know that I was there with her on the night she cried. Since then I made sure she wouldn't cry or feel sad. Now I gathered the courage and this time I wont let go of any opportunity. All I could think about today was - MAGICAL!
