Obscure Truth

9. Chance

"tum se kiran dhoop ki
tum se siyaah raat hai
tum bin main bin baat ka
tum ho tabhi kuch baat hai"

The intensity with which Avyaansh spoke those lines gave Noor a feeling that Avyaansh felt for her and wanted her to reciprocate his feelings too. Although he won't ever pressurize her bet deep inside his heart too craved for her love. Noor stood there tongue-tied, not able to say anything. Understanding her dilemma, he tried to divert the conversation.

"So.." "So let's go on a mini date. What say?" He started but was cut off by Noor. He was shocked at first at her sudden statement. "Badi jaldi hai aapko Ms. Kapoor?" He asked composing himself. "Jaldi nahi karenge toh kya pata train chhut jaaye aur hum manzil tak kabhi pohonch hi naa paaye." She said and he got the clear indication about how she wants him too.

It was almost the time for sunset. "Come with me, ek solid sunset jagah dikhati hu. Abhi vaha se ye sunset dekhne mein bada achha lagega." Noor said making Avyaansh shock. He thought she wasn't someone who believed in these little things. Grabbing her palm he said, "Lets go." Noor took him towards a long building and they went towards its roof. "You know whenever I get sad na, I always come her, be it day or night." Noor told him. "l'll make sure you never sad ever again." He said making her look at him.

They were falling for each other and felt like it's their teenage crush but they chose to be vocal about their feelings. No assumptions involved, they spoke what they felt and it make their hearts come even more closer. Being vocal about what one felt can resolve a lot of problems between two people.

"Achhi lagne lagi hai aap hume Ms. Kapoor." He suddenly said making her look at him with wide eyes. She knew he liked her but confessing this early was never something she expected even in her wildest dreams. "Mr. Rathore..." "Hum samajhte hai. Aapko force nahi kar rahe hain bas kehne ka dil kiya toh keh rahe hai. I respect you enough to not cross any boundaries." She started stating her doubt but he comforted her without even listening to her.

"Aur agar mai aapki feelings kabhi reciprocate hi nahi kar paayi toh?" She said making his breath hitch for a second. He can't even think of a life without her anymore. She has became his need now. "Toh hum yeh soch ke hi khush hojaayenge ki atleast you gave me a chance to like you." He said making her frown. "Mujhe toh laga aap Rathore hai, aur suna Rathores humesha apne haq ke liye ladte hai aur jaha pasand ki baat aayi aap mujhe yu hi jaane denge." She said presenting her disappointment. "Vo toh tab jab aap humein kahe ki aap hume bilkul pasand nahi karti, aapki marzi ke bina aapse baat karna bhi hume dard dega par agar hume lagta hai ki aap hume pasand karti hai par keh mahi rahi toh duniya palat denge lekin aapko kahi nahi jaane denge." He said looking into her eyes promising he'll always be there if she wants.

"Aapka dil jeetne ke liye kuch mauke dengi aap humein?" He asked her making her smile. The way asked for her consent always. For her, asking for consent was the hottest thing a man can do for his woman. "Aur nahi jeet paaye toh?" She asked in a playful tone which he understood. "Hume haarne ki aadat nahi hai Ms. Kapoor. Zidd nahi aap humari jo aapko aapki marzi ke against chheen le hum, jeetna chahte hai aapko aapki marzi se aur aaj tak aisi koi cheez nahi hui hai jisme Avyaansh Singh Rathore ko haar mili hui, fir yaha toh baat unki pasandida aurat ko ho rahi hai." He said making her laugh a little. "Oh my god Mr. Rathore, pasandida aurat and all huh.. Instagram kam chalaya kijiye." She said laughing. "Chaliye thik hai diye aapko mauke, aap itne bhi bure nahi hai ki turant hi reject karde aapko. Kya pata aap bhi humare pasandida mard ban jaaye."

"Par aapko ye mauke kal se milenge, aaj aapko free ke mauke nahi den rahi mai... aap sochiye about the ways you could impress me." She said making him sad that she is leaving right now but her sentence was enough to boost him up. "Okay then Ms. Kapoor be ready to fall for me." He said making her laugh. "Sure sure we'll see that Mr. Rathore." She said in between her laughter and he just smiled looking at him.

They went back to where their cars were parked. They were standing near their car when they saw an old couple crossing the road. The uncle was helping the lady by holding her hands. In that very moment they both felt like they just witnessed their future together. Noor suddenly had a thought about how many arguments they must have had throughout their lives and how many times they would have forgave each other, how many times they would have prioritised their love above themselves and their ego. Avyaansh on the other hand just thought about how pure their love was, years of togetherness but the way uncle looked at aunty felt like uncle was still mesmerised by her one glance. Where people say love fades with time, the old couple silently proved the world wrong.

With the sound of horn, the duo came out of their trances. Avyaansh dropped Noor till her car and waited till se went. He was happy that even if for less time but he got to spend time with her. Now all he could was how to make her happy and impress her.

Sitting in his car, he went to his office after getting back to The Rude Avyaansh Singh Rathore mode. Whereas Noor went towards her house as the working hours at her firm were over.

The day ended for both of them with each others thoughts.
