The Eternity of Love

Chapter 47

Arhan again turned his face towards Anaya who was now looking at the moon. He knew what she was thinking and she was on the verge to cry. So, he decided to divert her mind. He broke the silence, saying, "You never told me that you are such a good singer".

Listening to his voice, Anaya turned her face towards him. "I mean your voice is just divine, anyone can get lost in it", he added further. She knew that he was trying to lit up her mood by changing the topic, so without any complaints, she also joined him.

"Even you are not less. I didn't know that our toppers has this talent also. You should participate in Indian idol", she bragged.

Arhan looked at her and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Thoda jayada nahi ho gya".

Anaya laughed at his statement and continued, "What's wrong with it?? You have to just go and sing whatever you want and then tell your name and boom the judges will start crying". Saying this she looked at him and they both burst into laugh.

"Anaya!!", Arhan called her, after they finished their laughter session.

"Hmm?", she responded. His expressions turned a little serious, causing her to halt her laugh and pay attention to his words.

"Will you do one thing for me?", he asked, looking into her eyes. Anaya smiled and nodded.

"Can you sing for me one more time, please", he requested. Anaya's smile dropped and hopes crashed. She thought that he would ask her to stay and then confess his feelings but bro took an unexpected turn, crashing her hopes.

She narrowed her eyes and glared, "No". Saying this, she turned her face in another direction getting pissed.

"Please, Anaya. It's a request. Please", he requested. Anaya turned her face towards him, as he continued, "Please Anaya". He showed his puppy eyes, trying to convince her. Now, how can Anaya refuse this? She melted.

"Okay, but this is last", she tried hard to keep a straight face but failed when he smiled. She smiled and closed her eyes, thinking of a song. Arhan intertwined his fingers together and resting his chin on them, he waited for her to sing.

Anaya took a deep breath and started singing.

Listen to the song...

Lag ja gale, ki phir yeh haseen raat ho na ho
Sayad phir iss janam me, Mulakat ho na ho...

As the song continued, Anaya opened her eyes and looked at the moon. She chose the perfect song to describe her feelings. Every word, every lyric painted the picture of her emotions. The fear she was having of losing him, the pain, the sorrow of leaving him was clearly visible in her voice.

The smile on Arhan's face from earlier faded as he could feel the pain she was trying to hide, the tears she shed silently, the fear she was having. Her song was a confessional, a plea, a cry for understanding.

Humko mili hai aaj yeh, gadiya naseeb se
Jee bhar ke deakh lijiye, humko kareeb se
Phir aapke Naseeb me yeh baat ho na ho
Sayad phir iss janam me, Mulakat ho na ho
Lag ja gale.....

Through these lyrics, she referred to the time they got today. No matter how much time they spend together, it's always seems less. No matter how much she looks at him, it always seems less. By these, she means to describe that it's the last time in which she can look at him as much as she wants. God knows when she will be blessed this much to admire him as long as she want.

Arhan on the other couldn't hold his emotions more. The pain, the fear, the sorrow, he was trying to hide till now, came out in the form of tears. These lyrics were acting as a bridge, connecting their hearts in way that words couldn't. Tears welled up in his eyes and this time he didn't swallow them like before.
