555 - Their World🤍

Ch - 2🤍

The room was filled with the sounds of our laughs and giggles,I never knew that saying yes to some stranger for breakfast would lead to this friendly and warm chit-chat.
We ate breakfast together,chit- chatting about work and stuff then slowly the topic drifted towards talking about our lives.
Checking on my old neighbour was definitely worth it .
He seems pretty much friendly to be honest.
His way of speaking is gentle and soft.
And his name must be perfectly matched with his looks....wait ....what's his name???

A seed of thought that suddenly planted slowly grew in my mind
Making me impatient and excited to know his name.
We were busy in enjoying the delicious pancakes cooked by him that I almost forgot to ask him his name.
I must ask him as soon as I get home.

" You okay Tashi??"

A soft voice came from behind me making me startled.
It was my co-worker Anushka .

" Yup! All good."

" What's wrong ? Why are you asking me that all of a sudden? "

I asked staring at her with my brow raised.

"You've been sitting at that computer with your eyes glued to the screen and your lips curved into a creepy smile since past 15 minutes!!"

Anushka wisper-yelled making me shocked .

" Oh fishhh! I'm sorry "

I quickly apologized.

" What time is it Anu ?"

" It's 12 in the noon "
" We should go grab lunch "

" Mhmm yeah "

And with that,me and anushka went to have lunch.

We had a light yet Spicy meal for ourselves at lunch but still the taste of the pancakes didn't left my tastebuds .

" I better get back home before 1 am tonight "
I murmured to myself while sitting back on my office chair and catching up with work .
The files seemed overly filled with tons of Information about the ideas my co-workers have.
The basic thing I have to do is plant those ideas and see which one suits the best for the new theme of the video game our company made.

I'm the head of the software developing department and so it's important to be presentable with the perfect presentations.
Including perfect timing,perfect animation without glitches and most important of all,perfect self Confidence.

Why am I talking like a perfectionist????

I finally got back home after a long tiring day.
The whole place seemed quite but the silence had peace in it .
Removing my coat,I went to stand in the balcony.
Leaning against the glass grill and inhaling the not so fresh air while the cold breeze gently passed through my hair, I stared at the moon.

" Hmmmm, you again look beautiful today "

I whispered as if the moon would hear it.
I looked over to the side and sat at the very corner of the couch which was in my balcony, hugging my legs as a sigh left my lips.
It feels so good to take a pause after a long tiring day.

I stared at the moon while a little craving of wanting to sing ignited in my frozen heart.

Without wasting another minute,small-soft hums escaped from my heart through my lips.
Soon the hums turned into lyrics of the song as I closed my eyes feeling my own voice from my heart.

[ Play ' Dekha Hazaron dafa by Arijit Singh here!]

" Dekha hazaron dafa aapko....phir bekarari kaisi hai?"
" Sambale...sambhalta nhi ye dil,kuch aap mein baat aisi hai "

" Lekar, ijazat,ab aapse..saasein ye aati,jaati hain "
" Dhundhen se milte nhi hai hum,bas aap hi aap baaki hain "

I was singing,lost in my own voice till a male voice startled me. As I looked over to the owner of the other sweet voice,it was none other than the guy next door whom I met this morning.

Unknowingly a little smile made its way to my face as I stared at him sing.

" Pal bhar na doori ,sahe aapse.. betaabiyan ye kuch aur hain "

He stopped singing and looked at me with the same genuine smile and waited for me to sing the next line.

" Hum door ho-ke,bhi paas hain,nazdikiyan ye,kuch aur hain "

And he sang the other line with the same beauty in his voice ,later stopping for me to sing the following part.

" Dekha ,hazaron ..dafa aapko,phir bekarari kaisi hai?"

" Sambhale,sambhalta nahi ye dil,kuch pyar mein baat aisi hai "

He stared at me maybe admiring my voice , resting his face on his palm as he rested his elbow on the grill of his balcony.
I thought of stopping to sing but he seemed like enjoying my voice so I continued to sing the other lines .

" Aagosh mein hain,jo aapki...aisa sukun aur paayein kahan "

He cleared his throat for singing the other line.

" Aakhein,humein ye,raas aagyi,ab hum yahan se jayein kahan?"

" Dekha, hazaron,dafa aapko...phir bekarari kaisi hai?"

" Sambhale-sambhalta..nhi ye dil...kuch pyar mein baat aisi hai...."
