She felt his gaze upon her and got a little conscious, blushing all the while. She slowly turned her face at him and he immediately looked above, not at anything in particular but pretended to see the stars in the sky. Mini smiled.

Mini: What are you looking at?

Neil: Hmm? Umm... Nothing.. just the sky.. looking pretty, no?

Minu just smiled and shook her head.

Neil: Let's start!

"Start what?"

He pointed towards the violin kept near him.

Mini: Aaj sirf tum violin bajaoge aur main tumhe sunungi.

Neil: Kyun?

Mini: Kyunki mera mann hai.

Neil: But teacher main hoon.

Mini: Kabhi kabhi students ki baat bhi maan ni chahiye.

Neil: Okay.

They stood up. Neil took support of the balcony fence and started playing the violin.

Mere bina main, rehne laga hoon
Teri hawaon mein, behne laga hoon
Jaane main kaise
Tera hua hoon
Mujhe to lagta hai main shayad tere dil ki dua hoon, haan
Tujhko jo paaya, ahan
To jeena aaya
Ab ye lamha theher jaye, tham jaye, bas jaye
Hum dono ke darmiyaan

Mini got completely lost in the calmness of the sound and the man who was playing it for her.

Neil: So? How was it?

Mini: It was.. magical! I was lost in its serenity and y...

Neil: And?

Mini: Aa... Nothing..

Teri nazar mein nayi si adaa hai
Naya sa nasha bhi ghula hai
Kayi dino se bandha tha badal jo
Tere hi baalo mein khula hai
Teri hadon mein meri basar hai
Ab tujhe bhi, jana kidhar hai..

She looked away and blushed. He smiled and kept back the violin. They were still standing with the support of the fence.. their hands at the back on the railing... Neil slightly moved his hand close to her.. she noticed and moved her hand back. He again moved his hand and she repeated her act and turned around so as to create a gap between them but facing in the same direction. He too followed her and captured her in between his arms. She was taken aback but the next moment, smiled at him.

Her hair was ruffled by the wind. He very softly tucked her strands behind her ears and they looked straight into each other's eyes. Mini, looking at the opportunity, was about to get out of his cage but he held her wrist again and pulled her closer..his hands touched her waist... she shivered..

Mini: Ne.. Neil..

Neil: Shh.. I want to say something Mini.

Jahan rahe tu main woh jahan hoon
Jisey jiye tu main woh sama hoon
Teri wajah se naya naya hoon
Pehle kaha na maine ab ye tumse kehne laga hoon..

His heartbeat was racing against his chest making her shiver. She somewhere knew what he wanted to say, she could sense it.. see it in his eyes...the purest form of emotion he was carrying.. She nodded her head a little.

Neil: I don't know Mini.. when, where, how it happened but it just happened... Not a single moment passes when I don't think about you.. I'm so thankful to the Almighty that He made me meet you .. Mini I..
