Destiny - The best player

😉[Chapter 26]😉

The sound of the main door closing and the vanishing car lights jolted him out of his reverie; everyone had left together, even Munna and Pandit, who had to be at work at 9 a.m. the next day. 

He walked to the hall, which was still humming with his friend's laughter, Munna and Pandit's silly jokes, Sanvi's mocking smiles, and the fragrance of his Naina.

Then he started putting the coke cans away so that no one walked on them in the nightlight, discarding the cans, and then he returned to choose one to drink and found a half-empty can where Naina was standing. He was certain it was hers, so he put it near to his mouth and took a sip. and then smiled as he thought, Kehte hai jootha khane se Pyaar badhta hai, Aur yeh pyaar toh main itna badhana chahta hun jitna kisika na badha ho.

His phone buzzed with a text from Munna, and when he opened it, he saw the photographs they had taken earlier in the evening. The text accompanying the images suggested," So ja bhaii.. kal meeting hai aur Nanu se bohot daant padegi late hue toh.." 

The clock on the wall read 2 a.m., indicating that it was indeed late to be awake. Keeping in mind the plans they had made, he texted Aditi instead of Naina to see whether they had arrived home safely.

The reply he received indicated that they had arrived home and had been given a proper lecture about how they should have returned early since the plan to leave for mumbai on saturday had changed and they had a flight the next day and everyone had been up waiting, and now everyone had raced to their rooms to avoid getting anybody in trouble. 

He put his phone on the table and thought, Matlab Naina so gayi .. Chal sameer to bhi so jaa..

As he lay on his bed, looking at a photo of Naina, he immersed himself in his Naina world, as he did every night, And thought Aaj bohot tang kiya na maine tumhe.. Naa thik se baatein ki na hi hum saath me dance kar paye.. Yeh ek baat toh hai.. Sanvi se jaal toh bohot rahii hogi tum.. Par ek baat samjh nahi aayi mujhe Shadii ki baat pe sab ne kuch na kuch kahan par tum chup rahii.. Ek sec.. Main papa se baat karna bhul gaya.. Shittt!! Ab tak toh so bhi gaye honge.. Yeh kon si ladki aa gayi hai beech me.. Yaar!! Kal subah sabse Pehle yahi karna padega mujhe..

Planting a kiss on his phone.. On her picture, He whispered, "Good Night"

He gradually dozed off to sleep as he recalled today's events.

While hushing to their rooms, Rahul stopped by Naina's room and murmured in a gentle tone so that nobody could hear them," Kal Zain aur Aditi jaa rahe hai.. hum uske baad aram se baat karenge... Jaa abhi so ja varna joote padenge direct .." 

Though discussing what was going on in her head concerned her, but his accents always made her smile, and she hugged him and whispered, " Tu bhi jaa..  Koi tension thodi hai jo abhi baat karna haii..Aaram se kabhi bhi baat kar lenge.."

Going inside her room, Naina sat on her bed with a thud, the moon outside shined brightly, she held a pillow in her arms and remembered everything that had occurred today, He's getting married, so why am I thinking about him? But he says he won't, par uske papa jo bolenge wahi karega na woh.. Nanu.. Why are things so linked and complex... Every other thing is linked to him in some way... Ohh God kya ho rha haii kyu ho raha haii..Why is he having such an impact on me? Why should the smallest change in his habits impact me? Why is he becoming so essential in my life?
