After some time Mr.Singhania and vally entered the office and mannat rushed towards them...

"Heyy vally.."

Mr. Singhani and i nod at each other as we shake our hands and saw mannat and vally hugging like they meet each other after so long..

"Is she always like this ?" Him and I both asked at the same time and then smile at each other.

"Their excitement is contagious , trust me if i had taken a little more time while getting ready she would have left me and come here.."
he said to me while pointing at vally who is busy admiring mannat's jhumke

"And she was ready to drill holes inside these walls while waiting for you guys."
i said while pointing at mannat.

they know each other for less than 10 days and they are already each other's best friend, even the age gap is not enough for them .

"vally , i am also here" i said to vally 

And she just smiled at me and again got busy in talking with mannat.

"Excited for today ?"  i heard her asking vally.

"Yes.." vally replied with a nod then she looked at me and rasied her eyebrows

"Well I am more excited about knowing ke ajj car Mai konsa gana bajega.."

"Right tanzil. ?"

I looked at mannat , her whole face turned red and she look down,  smiling at vally i said nothing and opens the door, so that we can leave

we all sit in the car and i started it ... my eyes meet vally's through the review mirror and she grins at me .

Then i look at mannat but she is already looking at me with her doe eyes and i know the perfect song to describe her.. 

shuffling throgh my playlist i played the song and a sweet melody fills the car.

listening to it mannat stiffs beside me.

I start humming the song at the same time..i love listening to music, when i am not busy ruining someone's life or spending my entire time thinking about mannat, i like listening to music.
One day randomly i stumble upon this song and i knew i would play this song in front of her one day. its like what i couldn't express  , through these lyrics, i can say to her. 

Tum toh darasal khwab ki baat ho
Chalti mere khayalon mein
Tum sath sath ho
Milti hai jo achanak woh saugat ho

Tum toh darasal mithi si pyaas ho
Lagta hai yeh hamesha ke
Tum aas paas ho
Thehra hai jo labon pe woh ehsaas ho

when the next line hit , i look at her and her breath hitched. Red bloches cover her cheeks and i think my heart skipped a beat while looking at her so i looked back at the road.

Teri adah-adah pe marta mein
Wafa-wafa si karta kyun
Hadon se yun guzarta mein
Zara zara zara..

I started singing the lyrics a little louder and rohi turned her face away from me ..last time when I sang in front of her i got to know she can't resist my voice..
i hope my voice do to her what her eyes do to me .

Tum toh darasal saanson ka saaz ho
Dil mein mere chhupa jo wahi raaz raaz ho
Kal bhi mera tum hi ho mera aaj ho..

Mm...
Baarish ka pani ho tum
Kaagaz ki kashti hun main
Tujhme kahi main beh jaata hoon

its like each and every line is coming from my heart for her.. even i have no idea since when she became so important for me .
No, i think i know its because of that day or maybe that night.
