Holdings hands, intertwining fingers and her nuzzled face in the crook of his neck. It felt like the moment froze like ice, with the warm melting heart.

Words weren't verbal yet they scream.

The stillness in the air felt pulchritudinous with the newfound siesta of the battling heart. The elevating glints of dawn in the twilight were filling the raven atmosphere with tinges.

The heart was a little sentimental, it fills easily with expressions. Yet, its ways can't be deciphered because it wants what it wants.

She wish she could hug him but she is going to leave him tomorrow, she can't act like this. She can't behave like an emotional. Banni has persisted strongly throughout her life and she has to stay strong now too.
But! This was a matter of the heart! Which didn't agree with her mind.
He won't let her go. Yuvaan has stayed afraid till now, however, now he will be strong because... This was a case of the heart!

Sensing the awkward proximity she opened her eyes and lifted her head from his shoulder. Wandering her afraid sights at him with fastened breaths. This was the longest familiar interaction they shared in the whole month.

His eyes were red. Yuvaan squeezed her delicate fingers in his hold, unknowingly confessing his old yet newfound feelings.

She stood up from the seat, protesting her fingers free from him. She turned to him but unexpectedly her head banged with his jaw. He hissed in pain.

"Yuvaan!" She grumbled, slowly reaching her hand to crease his jaw. Her face was all rheumy. Meeting his possed glance at her, she felt timid.
It was going to be twilight soon in the sky, they were awake the whole night. Diverting her gaze she walked back towards the window. He stood numb over there.

Always he has tried to see her smile, to make her smile, to take all the tension she has. But she wants to take everything on herself even if it pierces her.

"Aadhi raat ko kya lukachhupi khelna hai? Jag kyun rhe ho? Sojao" Controlling her sobs she said. His attention paused at her weeping shoulders and cracking voice. Him not, their feelings were playing hide and seek.

She needed him. He needed her. Yet they were unknown of each other's feelings. Scared to stress the other. She has supported him mentally and emotionally; she has exported the zeal to him to spread his music, how can he ask more? He would become selfish. He supported her emotionally and in her business, how can she ask him for love, she would become greedy. What if he/she has other different plans?

Yuvaan with his baby steps stood next to her. Confessing feelings won't be bad. At least he would not lament that he didn't tell her about his feelings. She seized a covert peek at him from the corner of her eye and wiped her tears. Taking a deep breath, he too cleared his face and raked his messed-up hair to a side, summoning audacity.

Hesitantly, with a shivering hand, he kept his cold palm over her shoulder. She rolled her eyes, letting the brine wash her face. "Agar... itne aansu aa rhe hain sirf dur jaane ke k-khyaal se... to fir kyun jaana hai dur? Yahi raho... Jahan achha lag rha hai", He said with a breaking voice.

"Achha lag rha hai... isliye jana hoga. Kyonki yeh achha hai... sachcha nehi.", The words were hurtful but what to do? He was her Yuvaan yet he was a stranger now to her.

People become mindless in love but this was an exceptional case-- They became mindful. Yet Stupidity was constant.

He bit on his lower lip and smiled weakly. "Sarry! Meri wajah se tumhe pehle bhi aansu bahane pade the. Lekin ab tumhe rone ki zaroorat nehi-- ab or nehi". A lame crashed in his throat, "Par tumne yeh to... bataya hi nehi... ki mere khane ka, medicine ka, music ka, Subah se raat tak ke schedule ka dhyan kaun rakhega. Main to... bhool jata hoon. Meri aadato ka dhyan kaun rakhega?".
