They drink in silence, hoping that the answer lies at the bottom of the glass and the bottom of the bottle. It was Murtasim who broke the silence with a sigh. Meerab looked at his side, she had two dinks on. "What happened, did you fight with your girlfriend?" She asked.

"It's over now! How could she blame us, she talked cheap things and that went overboard. I couldn't even imagine she went to some other guy. She was using just my money." He wasn't angry anymore because somewhere deep in heart he too knew he never loved her, it was an attraction. When she approached him, he thought maybe in the flow he'll one day fall for her but no. She was a cunning and money-minded girl. He was wrong about her.

To lit up his mood, Meerab thought something.

"You know, I have prepared for cocktail dance. Wait! I'm full of hidden talents. Dance is of them. If you want we can convert this into your breakup party." Meerab winked.

"Here I'm devastated and you're telling to do breakup party. How mean!"

"Come on Murtasim life is full of surprises and if something is taken from you that means you'll be gifted with something more precious and lovable. May she doesn't deserve you." Meerab picked her phone and played party songs. She stood from her place and did some awesome moves.

She pulled Murtasim too, they both started dancing crazily forgetting the steps. The volume wasn't that loud so others had no idea. Murtasim stopped at a moment, he saw her dancing carefree he sneakily took a snap of her.

Murtasim's pov
Burning through a bottle of champagne, we fell in love in the silence. I felt the floor rocking beneath me and my mind drifting in and out like the tide. Though my vision wavered, there was one thing I was sure of. She was there... She was next to me sitting in that cold floor and the moonlight coming through the window panes poured onto her skin. In that moment, we were together, and she was so beautiful. I ignored the words which left her mouth as I was busy admiring her. Suddenly she pulled into dance and we started dancing crazily. I took a pic of her as a memory. Then there was a sudden urge to kiss her, all I want to pull her in my embrace and cage her there forever.

How can I think about her like that. No this isn't right Murtasim. What's happening with me! Am I falling for her? No... How can a I fall in love with a person with whom I just spent a day and a night? We exchanged only glances, the lightest of touches, jokes and laughter - no more.

Even if you shared your laughter and some cockiness but you were happy and content Murtasim, you were you with her all the time. You didn't complain when she argue with you over stupid topics infact you were enjoying it. You know she is a sweet girl with an innocent and genuine heart. And about falling in love, it's not planned. It just happened. It can be a year, a day or just a moment. Love is beautiful, you can cherish it forever and you heard what she said, maybe you deserve best and maybe that's her. Loving anyone is no problem, it's not in your control. Just for once let yourself go in a flow. Just feel the newly fond emotions and enjoy. His subconscious mind chided. For the first time his mind said what his heart wants. You know what they say "what you seek, that seeks you!"

In that moment, they both were in control of a strong emotion, one who wasn't ready to accept and the other who didn't has any idea.

Maybe that growing feelings played a cupid. Murtasim moved forward to catch Meerab, leaned in the dancing. Her hands unknowingly and unintentionally reached for his shoulders for support as at some point the champagne had started doing it's work. She was getting tipsy. The song changed at that instance.

Murtasim's pov
My face warmed as she crept closer and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. I normally do not like skinship but this felt different. I longed for it, I craved it. The way her soft hands caressed my face, or her gentle eyes met my own. Her beauty was incredible, my heart was falling for her by the moment.

The distance kept decreasing, their eyes deepens and drowned in each other, his focus shifted to her lips, that was soft, pink and alluring. His hands moved to her face sliding down below her ears. His leaned forward and his lips placed over her. They kissed!

(Sab apni apni aankhein band karo🙈)

He kissed her and the world fell away. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. His hand rested below her ear, his thumb caressing her cheek as their breaths mingled. She ran her fingers in his dense hair, pulling him closer and she could feel the beating of his heart against her.
