"Tere bina na saans loon, tere bina na main ji yun,"

It was a beautiful evening setting over the sky of Seoul, Korea.

"Tere bina na ek pal bhi reh sakoon, reh sakoon,

Pink, purple and oranges hues spread over the sky as New's sweet voice and the rhythmic melody coming from his guitar filled his ears,

"Tu hi haqeeqat, khwab tu, dariya tu hi, pyaas tu, tu hi dil ki beqarari , tu sukoon, tu sukoon,

In such a short while, New had learned pretty quickly and melodiously how to play guitar and sing well for an amateur, even if the song lyrics were entirely of another language, never losing a chance to serenade him,

"Tu humsafar, tu humqadam, tu humnava mera,"

He ended the song well that Tay's ears yearned to listen to him sing again as he detached his back from New's, leaning back on his hands as he faced him then,

"Did you like it?"

He looked into his starry eyes, his soft features holding a certain, tickling anticipation,

"Can it happen that you do something for me and I don't like it?"

His smile grew at his comment as New shied away from him, shaking his head instead, "Hin?"

"Hm," He met his eyes again as Tay tilted his head, questioning, "What will you do when you run out of every song in the whole world you could dedicate to me?"

He fell into thinking, gazing away from him then, his lips forming closed pout. After long moments of pondering, enabling Tay to take in his beholding features more as the last light slowly vanished away before he turned back to him, his eyes shining all new as he chimed,

"I'll just write new songs for you."

He laughed listening to his answer, "You love me that much?"

"I love you more than that, Te."

He still remembered the way New's words touched his heart way deeper than he could imagine,

"Then can you sing another song for me?"

New's smile once again bloomed to the fullest as the man kept the guitar aside and started humming, touching Tay's heart once again on an even deeper note and making him let his eyes flutter close, losing himself in New's soothing voice,

"Tu meri adhuri pyaas, pyaas, tu agayi mann ko raas, raas, ab tou tu aaja paas, paas,"

"Khun Tawan kha?"

His eyes shot open as he sucked in a breath and sat up in his seat, quickly linking his fingers and putting his hands on the desk before he fixed his jaded gaze at khun Phatchara,

"Yes?"

The woman bowed her gaze down at the diary she was holding, her hands visibly shaking as she flipped it open, turning to today's schedule,
