PRESENCE - MAKES YOU OR BREAKS YOU

10

His chain of thoughts break when someone knocks on the door . In a hurry he puts back the anklet in the drawer so that no one could see it and ask the person to come in .

It's vikas with the coffee and he says darshan that naushad sir is waiting for him in the hall . He come out while having his coffee but still his mind is not in the condition that he can work or think over something or the other . As he comes out , naushad bhai comes to him and say , ' I have got un urgent work , so look up at the details of the shoot and tell her if you want any changes . I'm leaving '

Darshan just move his head in yes . With that naushad sir leave .

Shweta is checking all the things that soumya sent her and he sit on the couch thinking about the same things which are not ready to leave his mind . He finishes his coffee and keeps the cup on the centre table .

And look at shweta , " why the hell I'm doing this , from last few days my mind is not ready to leave Nitya's thoughts and how I behaved so cool with a person who lied to me . I hate such people who lie , but while she has done it , I'm behaving normally with her . Instead of her stupidity of morning I told her that it was fine with me . Like seriously darshan what has happened to you . How can you be so calm in such a situation ? She just forwarded her hand and you hugged her what she must be thinking . Have you lost your senses ? But this thing is not in my hand the moment I saw her I felt as if Nitya is here but as she talked and as she dared I got to know that she is totally opposite of her . Nitya never used to say sorry for a mistake that she has committed nor when she get to know that she is wrong . She never used to behave sensibly . She used to just follow her mind and never listened to her heart . But shweta is someone who follows her heart with all her desire . ( he smiles ) "

He is thinking all this looking at her . She felt that and look at him , as soon as she sees he avert his eyes . Shweta see him smiling and a smile appear on her face too as being his fan that's the only thing she wish for . But the next moment she thought why was he looking at her and smiling .

She shrugs her thoughts and

Shweta - may we start (she pauses and says ) sir

Darsh - you can call me darshan , this sir and all please don't ( she nod her head ) and can't we look after it tomorrow

Shweta - but naushad sir has told to give you all the details . It would not take much time just an hour

Darsh - an hour , that means totally 60 minutes . And you don't worry about naushad bhai I'll handle it . I'll speak with him

Shweta - but ( before she complete darsh speak )

Darsh - no if's and but's , do as I say . ( she just nod her head in yes ) you wait I'll come back

With that darsh goes to his room and shweta is sitting and doing her work .

Suddenly she hears a guitar strumming voice as if someone is playing chords of Tera Zikr . As the voice reaches her ears she closes her eyes , and starts feeling it , and sings up ,

Shweta - MULAKATE AADHURI RAHI
MUKAMMAL KARUNGI YEH WADA RAHA
TANHAYIYON SE BHI MEIN TERI
BAATEIN KARUNGI YEH WADA RAHA
TERA ZIKR JISME HUA NA HO
MERE PAAS AISA LAMHA NA HO
BAKHUDA

She gets so lost that she didn't even realise when darsh , hardik and sid come and sit on the couch and hear her . The further strumming sound drops in her ears and she continues ,

Shweta - MUJHE KHONE KE BAAD EK DIN
TUM MUJHE YAAD KAROGE
PHIR DEKHNA MILNE KI
MUJHSE TUM FARIYAAD KAROGE

This song is just .... ( she stops while speaking as she opens her eyes and sees them sitting opposite to her and looking at her with amused faces )

Shweta - I'm sorry

As this words leave her mouth they all speak together , ' for what ' and they laugh . Darsh stood up and made his way to her , sat in front of her and

Darsh ( with an angry face ) - do you even know what you have done , and you think you're sorry and that will make everything right

Shweta - I'm really sorry , actually I'm just learning how to sing , I didn't mean to hurt you , and I know I'm a very bad singer , ( while she's speaking he speaks up )

Darsh - you are an awesome singer , if in learning you are this amazing then don't know what you will do when you think you are completely ready

She get shocked hearing him . Like did he really say that I have awesome voice . Oh shit !

Darsh continue - your voice is amazing and the song sounded so perfect in your voice as if , if a female version would have made it would be something like this

She is just staring him and his voice is something she can hear for rest of her life without interrupting him . She again gets lost in him , darsh snaps his fingers in front of her and she comes back to senses , she closes her eyes embarrassingly

Shweta - Thank you , it means so very much to me when a compliment is coming from you

Sid - darsh do we have a recorder in this room too ?

Darsh look at his back to answer him and say , ' I guess it's there , let me check '. With that he get up and look at the side table and found it and fortunately it was on . He take it and pause it for now . He keep it on center table and again turn to shweta , ' I'll send that recording to you '
With that he take his phone ,' your no. ' He looks at her and then again speaks , ' that's fine if you don't want to give the no. tell your mail , I'll mail it '

Shweta - no its nothing like that , and my all details are mailed to you already . Naushad sir told me that he has mailed you all the details of me and my teammates

Darsh - oh , ok I'll check . He open up his Gmail and found a mail of naushad bhai . He saved that document

Shweta - OK then I'll come tomorrow with the team and give you all the details of the shoot . It would be helpful if you told us what type of clothing you love to wear

Don't know why but darsh's heart doesn't want her to leave . But still with a smile on his face , ' OK I'll send you the things ' with that she leaves from there . As she goes to the car , and sits inside she screams and then puts her hands on her mouth so that the sound doesn't come out .

After spending her time on the marine drive , at almost 9 in the night she come back . She park the car and standing in front of the door she ring the bell .
