Dil mein gile bhi the

Aankh bhar gayi...

"Yes...but ....separation hurts sometimes..." he sighed and lowered his eyes.

"Separation...." Inaya bent forward, "Any sad story?"

"An incomplete one..." Sid smiled feebly.

"Incomplete.....like what?"

"Inaya!" Sid fixed her with his gaze, "I want to tell you something....."

LR college hostel, block C, room no 11

22 March'18, Midnight

What was his story? Inaya turned in her bed, the incomplete one.....

She had had a comical and wild experience at the VC office conference that morning. Though initially scared, she now felt that it was the most exciting adventure of her college life- she got the much needed adrenaline rush.

After rescuing Sid and her from the 'dark hall', everyone headed to have tea at the 'nukkad chaiwala'.

Inaya was back in her room now. She was lying on the bed, running her hands through the soft fur of her teddy. She smiled as she remembered the tea party- how Sid suddenly moved out of the tin shed, into the rain and started dancing like a three year old. She blushed as he took her hand and pulled her out too. They danced on 'Barso re' as everybody cheered and hooted.

It was still raining outside. She pulled up her bed sheet and took a deep breath. The scent of blooming night jasmines had filled the room. She could hear the rain drops softly tapping against her window. Their tapping added a soft touch to song playing on her phone

Aadha Sa Vada Kabhi
Aadhe Se Zyada Kabhi
Jee Chahe Karlu Is Tarah
Wafa Ka
Chode Na Chute Kabhi
Tode Na Toote Kabhi
Jo Daga Tum Se Jud Gaya
Wafa Kaaaa.....

"This is bad" she thumped her head and smiled, "Inaya why are you getting so romantic today, stop these thoughts.....this isn't you" the song kept playing tum se hi.... tum se hi....

She smiled again "it's the weather may be.....this better be over by tomorrow.....now sleep....you are not falling in love....." she closed her eyes.
