MANMARZIYAAN -MY TAKE

Little Things

Life is not about the big things. It is always about a million little things.                           

The bus ride home had begun.  Arjun had still not talked to Sam properly after the incident and so Sam was sitting with Neil and Radhika with Arjun.

It was late afternoon. Sam was sleeping peacefully on Neil's shoulder who was unsure whether to remove Sam's head or to let her keep it on his shoulder. Suddenly the bus turned and the sun's rays were falling directly on their faces. Neil immediately put his hand up to cover the sun's rays so that Sam's sleep does not get disturbed. He didn't care that the sun's rays were troubling him too. This wasn't left unnoticed by Piyali.

Destiny : Sometimes when things seem like they are falling apart, they might actually be falling into place.

Arjun sat still frustrated at the fact that everything in his plan was going haywire.
Radhika who was in a deep sleep turned towards Arjun and hugged him in her sleep. Arjun froze. He did not know what to do. His mind told him to remove her hands from his waist but his arms refused to obey his mind.

Destiny has its own funny way to bind two people with each other. And more likely than not it's always with someone least expected of all.  Same was happening with Arjun and Radhika, slowly and steadily their distances were being mended without either of them even knowing it.

After 2 hours when Radhika had woken up and changed her position, Arjun turned back to look and Neil and Sam talking to each other. Arjun thought he had to somehow make his plan work.

Arjun : Sam....... Sam I'm sorry I overreacted....... I just....... I don't like being second....... But it's okay...... If you have forgiven me please come and sit next to me dear.

Sam looked at Neil who nodded approvingly.  She got up and swtichsdd her position with Radhika.

Neil : Wassup Chasni! Ready for some Punjabi music?? Bole toh ekdum dassu songs??

Radhika : You bet! What you waiting for Bluey??

Neil,Sam and Arjun together : WHAT'S BLUEY??

Radhika : Arre relax guys. Simple si toh baat hai Neil matlab neela matlab blue so I'll call you Bluey from now on. Vaise bhi tumhare aur Sam ke nicknames toh tum dono ne ek doosre ke liye banye hi hai and meri liye chashni. Aur dadaji kehte hai hume kisi bhi kaam mein peeche nhi rehna chahiye.

Neil : Okay Chasni jo bulana hai bulao. Now let's get the party started!

After some time Neil looked ahead at Arjun and Samaira looking intently into each other's eyes. Neil smiled at destiny. His mother's words rung in his head.

(Prerna : Mere bacche ek baat hamesha yaad rakhna If you love someone and get to be with them, it's DESTINY. But if you know you might never be with them and yet you love them, that's called TRUE LOVE. )

Samrat : Piyu we are about to reach. Did you inform Bonnie about the joint presentation that she and Samaira have to make??

Piyali did not respond. She was too lost in her thoughts.

Piyali's thoughts : When the sun rays can win Sam's face Neil immediately put his hand up to protect Sam's face from the rays. But when a similar situation arose with Arjun by her side, he didn't even bother to cover Sam's face instead he held his hands to protect his own face........ Not that it was wrong. It was just a small thing... Maybe I'm thinking way too much. I mean....... But then why did Neil do it??

Samrat's raised voice brought Piyali back to reality. Samrat asked her what's wrong and then repeated his question from earlier.

Piyali : Yes Samrat I have informed both of them. We'll reach by tonight and they'll start on the presentation by tomorrow morning.

Samrat : That's sure good to hear!

Hey people! So I know this was a short chapter. Just a filler type of a thing. I wanted to begin the Birdsong part from a fresh new chapter. Do tell me how you want the story to progress. Any particular scenario you would like?? And don't forget to upvote.

Thank you!

Until next time!
