Two people walking on the road, two days after the grand reunion party of SBS College. Many friends who had lost touch with each other relived their college days, many class mates who were still in touch too relived their college days and many mates who were not so fond of each other formally talked with each other.
Basically everyone of them enjoyed the day to the fullest and promised to stay in contact with each other.
There were two people who were extremely happy seeing the other person but also did not know what was the over excitement for.
They were Vansh and Riddhima. They were really good friends in college and meeting each other after 7 years brought an unknown wave of emotions mixed with excitement with it, but both of them did not know what was it.
After the reunion party, the very next day they decided to meet each other at a park which was once their favourite place.
The second day, they met each other at a DHABA which was Riddhima's favourite place out of all the fancy places to eat. They enjoyed the food and relived the day of their college when Riddhima had literally forced Vansh to enter the DHABA and try the food there.
Currently they were walking on the road, an almost isolated one with very few people here and there. Vansh was walking Riddhima to her home as it was almost the time of dusk and Vansh being Vansh offered to drop her home in his car as he felt it was not safe but Riddhima being Ziddhima wanted to walk her way back home and not in the car. But Vansh again being Vansh decided to walk with her.
It was a silent walk, no one uttered a word except "bye" and "good night", and this was when they reached her home.
It was not that they were out of topic but they were in their own thoughts all the way trying to figure out these new emotions building in them.
Both were in their rooms, in their respective houses trying to get some sleep, but sleep was very far away from both of them.
Both of them were involuntarily thinking about each other. Even if they tried to distract their mind they couldn't erase each others' thoughts.
Riddhima decided to close her eyes and try to sleep while Vansh decided to go to the garden.
He was having a walk in the garden with his earphones on, and for some reason listening to Riddhima's favorite song.
"Kyun aaj kal neend Kam khwaab zyada hai
Lagta khuda ka koi nek iraada hai
Kal tha fakir aaj dil shehzaada hai
Lagta khuda ka koi nek iraada hai"
He felt relatability with these lyrics. But he was not very keen on accepting the next lines for reasons he did not know.
"Kya mujhe pyaar hai yaa, yeh kaisa khumaar hai"
Was he scared to admit it? Was he confused? Was he avoiding the situation? He did not know.
"Pathar ke inn raston pe
Phoolon ki ik chadar hai
Jabse mile ho humko badla har ik manzar hai"
Well that is true! Everything was changed after meeting her even in the past even after years. She always gave him the confidence even to do the most difficult tasks. Like once she had made him participate in the dance competition in college. What? It was difficult for him. But the thing he did not know was he just needed a bit of confidence and he did pretty well, so well that he ended up winning it.(was it too much😅) He never knew he could dance but she made him do it. She had brought many changes in him and all for his good.
"Dekho jahaan Main neele neele aasman tale
Rang naye naye hai jaise ghulte huye
Soye the khwaab mere jaage tere vaaste
Tere khayalon se hai bheege mere raaste."
Okay he always thought "feeling butterflies in the stomach" and...and.. etc. etc. kind of phrases to be just too exaggerating for describing an expression but today there he is living these expressions.
He was actually feeling his black and white life going colorful again. Even though they were meeting after years and actually met for just two three days, Riddhima had still made him believe in his dreams again.
He always wanted to be a writer, he also was extremely good in it but some situations in life made him a businessman. When Riddhima got to know that he had left writing she started scolding him as if she has all the rights on his life. Well he would love to give those rights or maybe had already given her😉. Taking her advice he started writing again and oh the peace he got cannot be described.
"Tum kyun chale aate ho
Har raat inn khwaabon Main
Chupke se aa bhi jaao
Ek din meri baahon Main."
He was always dreaming about her these days. Dreams like him and her playing at the beach, having dinner together, all shot and sweet moments he always wanted to experience in his complicated life.
Now he was also secretly wishing that his dreams actually become the reality some day. He just wanted to hold her in his arms and absorb all the peace she gives him, just like in his dreams.
This song is giving him serious reality checks now. Though he wanted to he could not deny the fact that somewhere in his heart he craved for her.
"Tere hi sapne andhero Main ujaalon main
Koi nasha hai tere aankhon ke pyaalo main
Tum mere khwaabon Main sawaalo main Jawaabon main
Har din chura tumhein Main laata hun inn khayalon main"
He thinks about her day and night. Just met for 2 after years and she had already started having the authority over his mind and heart. Even he could not distract his mind. It would forcefully start playing all the moments with her. Well he quite enjoyed that.
"Kya mujhe pyaar hai ya yeh kaisa khumaar hai"
"Haan mujhe pyaar hai."
He finally admitted.
He had listened to this song many times because Riddhima could never get over it and now he knows he cannot too.
He had listened to the words this carefully for the first time and it helped him a lot.
Agree or not, directly or indirectly Riddhima had again helped him in a situation but this time it also included her.
