Ishita was standing by the cinq in the kitchen which was cluttered with dishes that were to be cleaned, as cups she was rinsing from water running from the tap just above the cinq, only added to the pile. She looked listlessly at the cup, as a slight frown popped up on her face. It was only then when dushyant came in front of her, as she flashed a light smile at him. 

"chod aaye cab tak?" asked ishita, slight sadness seeping in her tone, as dushyant nodded in agreement with a deep sigh.

"chale gaye.." stated dushyant, as ishita shook her head, looking at the cup in her hand again. 

"abhi se hi yaad aa rahi hai didi ki..." stated ishita, as a slight smile came up on dushyant's face. 

"hmm...ghar khaali sa hojayega ab...ab bas...hum dono..." stated dushyant as he looked over to ishita, who finally turned to face him, and their eyes met. 

"yeh thoda ajeeb nahi hai, humare liye? matlab...hum kabhi..akele nahi rahe..shaadi ko itna samay hogaya hai tab bhi...uhmm..." expressed ishita her disconcernment, as dushyant nodded in agreement. 

"haan, aisa nahi hua kabhi, ki ghar mein humare alawa koi na hoon...par..tumhe nahi lagta, hum ek tarah se, chahe aas paas kitne bhi log hoon, akele se hi hote the...mann hi mann?" raised dushyant a question to her, articulating his feelings, as ishita kept the cup back in the cinq, walking away from it but closer to him. 

"dushyant...kya hai..aapke mann mein, mere liye? kyunki dushyant, main, de chuki hoon, apna mann, puri tarah se aapko...main rok nahi paa rahi hoon...apne aapko...aapse pyaar karne se..par...aap...shayad koi jagah dena hi nahi chahte hai apne mann mein mujhe...aur khaash yeh na hota par, mujhe takleef hoti hai iss baat se...aap, aap kya chahte hai..humare beech ho...bata dijiye kyunki...pyaar ki umeed shayad puri na ho meri aur...mujhe nahi pata uss tutti umeed se main ubhar paungi ke nahi..." poured ishita her heart out to him, as he looked on helplessly.

She stepped even closer to him, her hands ended up slipping onto his, looking him right in the eye, as he felt a heaviness pounding his heart.  

"apna dil mat band kijiye na mere liye, please...dil aisa tuttega..dobara jud hi nahi paayega..." pleaded ishita, as her moistening eyes rolled out a tear from one, instigating a strong rush when his sorrowful glance fell on them. 

Before he even realised, he ended up stopping the tear to roll too far from her eyes, by kissing it. Her eyes closed reflexively, her heart beat increased to catch up to the closeness of his face to hers. 

He moved away slightly, their faces still barely a few inches apart, as their surprised gazes met for a small second, before they found their lips making their way to intertwine in a kiss. 

It started as a soft peck but only got deeper and intense before they finally separated out of compulsion as they ran out of air, and with deep deep sighs and eyes still closed, patted each other's foreheads together.

The darkness of the nightfall lightened with the glimmering moonlight of the full moon, as the shiny rays found its way through the  flying white curtains of the open bedroom window, as purvi only examined kavin's face closely, as they both lay together on the bed. The moonlight created a shadow on his face from the darkness of the room, as his eyes shut in a deep sleep, made him only more endearing for her to see. 

When suddenly, she witnessed a smirk that had crept upon his face, only for her to be surprised with the quick blink his eyes opened in. 

"kya yaar...roz raat ka bana liya hai yeh program tumne?" remarked kavin, as purvi froze at her spot. 

"tum jaag rahe the?" asked purvi rhetorically, making kavin chuckle. 

"tumhe koi raat bhar ghoorta rahega toh tum so jaogi?" retorted kavin, as purvi flushed, looking away. 

He only smiled as his glance was fixed upon her, as he gently caressed her hair, making her look up. 

"main toh nahi dekhta tumhe jitna dekhna chahiye...kitna kuch hai dekhne ko...pyaari aankhein, lambe baal...aur ekdum gulabi hoth...muskurane pe toh aur khil jaate hai yeh.." appreciated kavin purvi's beauty, as she only looked amazed. 

"bas, yahi acha lagta hai tumhe mujh mein?" asked purvi curiously, as kavin shook his head in no, his hand making his way to her cheek. 

"tum mein bahaut kuch hai pasand karne ko...jiss tarah se tum hamesha kuch soch rahi hoti ho, dekh ke hi pata chalta hai bahaut gehra soch rahi ho..tumhare mann mein jo hota hai, wahi tumhare chehre pe hota hai...tumse nazar hattane ka isliye shayad kabhi mann nahi ho sakta..jitna dekho, kaafi nahi lagta, aur jaane ko bahaut kuch bacha rehta hai..." elaborated kavin, as they were both lost in each other's unmoving gaze towards each other. 

It was in this moment that an instant and intense spark was felt between the two. A deep flame they both wanted to burn, as it led them to find their way to lock their lips into a loving kiss. 

When their lips touched, there was no coming back, fires of passion ignited to a level that could not be extinguished, as they deeply embraced each other. The kiss got deeper with her hands entangled in his hair, while his sharply roamed around her waist. 

They only stopped when they reached a state of unavoidable breathlessness, and separated for some air, but what was still left, were gazes of longing fixed on each other.
