Taani came back from his house. Meeting with his father was the best thing, he is damn, sweet and handsome, no one will believe that he is a father, he's freaking 52! How?! Ofcourse he can, if her father can deceives the age, then his can—too. But everything apart, what Rey said to her were still running in her mind. He trust her. He freaking trust her. He didn't tell this to anyone except for his best friend and now her. He can't hear! All these months no one ever realize that he is— deaf. He pretended it so well.

But then how can he sing if he doesn't hear?  That's the only question still running in her mind. How did he get that she's having problem in singing? How could he be so sure that she is ready to sing again? Oh, God! There are so many things she wanted to know, because she is a curious little cat, like her father called her.

He believed her that his secret is safe with her, now it's her time to prove that how good she is with keeping secrets. She will keep his secret till the end of her life, she will not share it with anyone else, until he, himself tells the others.

He helped her so much, now it's her time for the payback, she will be his guide, she will be with him all the freaking time, she will be his ears. Whatever he wants to listen, he will listen through her ears. From now on, she will be the strength of his hearing.

Next day, they all gather at rehearsal. Days are going fast, they don't have much time in their hands, and Tee needs everything perfect. Everyone in RH, they are rehearsing when they notices, something odd in Taani, first, her—dress. She is wearing—churidaar. Woah! And second her—oddly good behaviour with everyone, she's not behaving bossy, she's not getting angry on their silly mistakes, nothing!

Sh- Tee? Are you—ok?

Ta- Yeah babe, I'm perfectly fine. Why do you ask?

Sh- Uh, first you never wore these kind of dresses like churidaars, except for on diwali or any other pujas, and second, your oddly nice behaviour. I mean, Taani Khanna is not shouting on anyone, not ordering them, not scolding the boys for their nonsense behavior. What did you do to my best friend, girl? Where is she?

Sharon ask her while putting her hands on her hips making Taani chuckles. She shakes her head. She about to say something but Rey comes. He stops and look at her. He met everyone, and apologize for not coming because of his fever. They all welcome him, that's when his eyes met hers, she gasp as it is sudden yet intense gaze. He is checking her out. She bite her lip, gulp nervously, don't know what he's thinking by looking at her new get up. She notices a small smile appearing on his lips, she looked down immediately, her cheeks are getting heat up, suddenly she's feeling the weather—hot. Sharon notices and smirk.

Sh- Oh, so that's the reason of this new getup, huh?

Taani snap out of a dreamland. She look at Sharon.

Ta- Huh? What? No, no, no! It's not—

Sh- It's OK, Tee. I won't say anything. My lips are sealed. Trust me.

Ta- Shar, no, it's seriously nothing—

Sh- I know, I know. I do it all of this before. It happens with everyone I get it, it's OK.

Sharon's having amazing time teasing her best friend, there Taani's feeling awkward. she's totally excuses and leave. Sharon laughs and shake her head.

Sh- My silly friend.

Taani went to the girls locker room. She still breathing heavily. She stands in front of the mirror and look at herself. She's shocked to see her herself in mirror.

Ta- I have never put blush on, then how the fuck my cheeks become so pink?

She touches her cheeks with the back of her hand, she frowns.

Ta- Why my cheeks are so hot?

That's when she found Sharon also coming to the locker room and  she notices her cheeks are also in deep shade of pink.

Ta- Shar-

Sh- Oh finally there you are? Where did you go? Dumbo I was kidding, you took it seriously.

Ta- What? No! A-actually I wanted to p-pee. That's why? Nothing else. But, Shar, why did you also put so much blush on today?"

Sharon look at her and gets confused.

Sh- Blushon? No, I didn't put blushon. Why?

Ta- Then why your cheeks are so pink, today?

Sharon look in the mirror and gets it then, because of Swayam, she blushes, and here her stupid friend thinks that she put extra blushon.

She chuckles. Taani look at her in confusion. Sharon pinches her nose.

Sh- My dear innocent friend! This is not blushon.

Ta- Then what is it?

Sharon again blushes.

Ta- See, you cheeks got pink again. What the hell! Is this some kind of magic you're doing purposely on yourself?

Sh- Haha! No dumbo! It's because I—blush.

Ta- Blush? Exactly blushon, right?

Sh- Haha, Oh God, no stupid. It's called blush! It's completely natural.

Ta- How?

Sharon roll her eyes, explaining her stupid bff is the most difficult task.

Sh- This usually happens when people fall in—love with a special someone. So, they feel at all times without any particular reason. That giddiness they feel can make them blush. Hence, blushing may be an indication of being in love. Like, in my case, being in love with—Swayam.

Taani look at her with lost puppy eyes. She then realized, whenever Rey teased her or called her with pretty names, like baby girl, darling, bella senora etc, and that day when she saw Rey in that white shirt in his house and when he sings for him. It means she—blushed all those times. Oh my mine!

Song:

Mere dil ko ye kya ho gaya
Main na jaanu kahan kho gaya
Kyun lage din mein bhi raat
Hai dhoop mein jaise barsaat hai
Aisa kyun hota hai baar baar
Kya isko hi kahte hain pyaar

Ho sapne naye sajne lage
Duniyaa nayi lagne lagi
Pahle kabhi aisa na huaa
Kya pyaas ye jagne lagi
Madhoshiyon kaa hai samaa
Wo jhukne lagaa aasmaan
Khaamoshi bani hai zubaan
Chhede hai koi daastan
Dhadkan pe bhi
Chhaya hai khumaar
Aisa kyun hota hai baar baar






"Am I really falling in love with—Rey?"
