.......Dil se tujhko bedili hai...
Mujhko hai Dil ka gurur
Tu na pehchane to hai ye
Teri nazron ka kusoor .......
Amidst all those shimmering lights and glittering faces....two lonesome eyes hid perfectly....
People were dancing and twirling...some high on liquor while others high on the delusions created by all the fancy bad beautiful things around them.....women sensuously moving and falunting their bodies....men courteously preying on their next Muse....
This is how a typical high profile party looks like.....all masks and veils make you forget the reality of who you are for a few hours so that you can enjoy.....
Amongst all those veiled faces....one was hers ..... carefully and subtely hiding all her secrets...burying everything underneath those scorching hazel eyes......
One pair of eyes was his too....similiar to hers....having a lot of secrets...
They both astride leisurely through the party...careful not to cross each other's path ..... whilst they engage in small talks with their peers ....
"So lt ahluwaliya....I hope your term at kma is as comfortable as it was here..."his senior officer asks in a dignified way...
His question makes her gaze travel invoulantarily towards someone across the other side of the crowd...
"Kma has been my alma mater sir.....I had always been comfortable there...everything is so familiar"she says her eyes still stuck at him.
He finds himself getting warm under a very familiar gaze.....a gaze that melts him from the inside ..a gaze that momentarily meets his and they look away quickly like two strangers who have never met before ....
As he sips his wine while speaking to his fellow officer .....and a young subordinate asks him for a dance ..
He reluctantly gets dragged by her in the dance floor ....and she is there....dancing with a man next to him ..
Ye Mera deewanapan hai....
Ya mohabbat ka suroor ..
"I wanted to ask you for coffee"
His subordinate lt Jaya proposed
So this is the reason she has been sticking around him from last few days...
"I would have but....."
H
e showed her his finger ring
"I am married"
With a respectful smile.
"Ohh I am so embarrassed
Mujhe pata nahi tha"
She replied
"That's fine"
He said and smiled
H
is heartbeats pick up pace as he feels her eyes on him ....yet he must be delusional as the next moment finds her engrossed with his fellow officer...
He observes her calmly ....she is beautiful...her seductive frame modestly draped in an emrald green saree.....her pale skin ....that beautiful bindi adorned on her forehead...
She is so ladylike...yet an innocent charm in her.....
Had he not been already a sucker for it ...tonight he would have fallen for her inevitably...
!!!!!!!!
He open the door of his quarters with the key
The light was on already
Pin drop silence of midnight which can be heard
A cricket stridulating somewhere....
And the room was filled with her perfume
She has changed already and was filling water bottle from the dispenser.
He locked the door and kept the keys on table along with his phone.
"Itni raat ko akeli kyun ayi tum
Hum sath a sakte the"
He said softly....
She waited till her bottle was upto the brim.... Fitted the cap .....
Turned and went inside the bedroom locking it from inside.
He kept looking at the door....
This is her way of telling him
That how trivial and irrelevant he is that she doesn't even think it's necessary to answer his questions.
To remind him that he is frivolous in her life.
Just like some furniture in the room inconsiderable to notice.
Where as for him
He has by now got desensitized
It hurts but you ignore.
You overlook
He changed quietly and made his bed on floor
Covering himself with quilt
The only source of his warmth.
He took out her photo....
And smiled at her
"You were looking beautiful today"
He said
The girl in the photo and the girl inside the room are so different.
With former he can talk with later he cannot
With one he can laugh and cry , talk his heart out.... Share his emotions
With another one it's just a ear deafening silence.
She can't even think how much he keeps thinking of her
He breath her
Human mind is indeed a magic land
It always manage to find out which defense will be appropriate to save your sanity.
!!!!!!!
"I want to marry you"
He still remember that day when his heart almost stopped beating
The girl he loved proposed him
But she was neither soft nor shy
The formal tone
And firm posture
"Excuse me"
He had sprang from his seat.
"For my parents
So that they can stop worrying about my future
And I need to stay in KMA
Jab tak Mera mission pura nahi ho jata. I need to stay close with Indian intelligence"
He was perplexed with her dauntlesnes and mechanical attitude.
"You know what you are saying"
Is this girl for real.
"Bachchi nahi hun main
I know what I am saying
Ap Meri madad karenge ya nahi
Or else I have to figure out some other way."
He didn't knew how to react
The idea of keeping her close was tempting as well as necessary
She can do anything
She can go to any extent.
"Don't worry
It will just be a beta marriage
Which will dissolve in couple of years"
She looked determined
He need to keep her close to save her from indulging in any reckless and self destructive action
And he agreed.
The marriage was quite and decent
With just her parents and no one else.
He did manage to tell a convincing tale to the faculty of KMA
But it was not amenable for Shalini and abhimanyu
They did smell something fishy
But they knew that if Raj doesn't want to spill the beans ,they cannot dig out the truth.
They have not even talked to eachother till third day of their marriage.
And the first thing she had talked about was that she doesn't want to use his surname....
Like always he silently agreed.
As if he had any option.
In collaboration with heeba
Like always
