The Leave Of Love

Chapter - 5

"Rishta raha bas reit sa,
Aye samundar mein tumhara kinara raha
Mein tumhara mein tumhara,
Tumhara raha"

At about 7:30 p.m. when Ishu nd Anju were arranging for the party, the doorbell rang.
Aku opened the door nd found Rohan.
"Happy Birthday Akata!" he shook hands with her nd gave her the flower bouquet. After thanking him she asked him to get in. He sat on the couch nd she went to her room signalling  Ishu to follow her too. After she came, Aku held the bouquet in front of her. "Isme jo eklauta rose he usko utha." she ordered her.
"But why? Its looking good." Ishu chipped.
"Yeah its looking good but it will look the best agar tu yeh rose apne haathon se Rohan ko degi to." Aku smirked.

"Par yeh to teri he na?"

"Bouquet sirf meri he. Rohan to teri he na? Aur mein teri Rohan se rose kaise le sakti hu" Aku winked.

"Ab nautanki mat kar aur yeh usko deke aa."

Ishu blushed nd picked up the rose nd walked towards him. She called him nd kept the rose in his shirt's pocket.

"Meri rose mujhe hi wapas lauta rahi he?" he smirked.

"Wo kehte he na ki jo cheez tumhari hoti he wo tumhare pass lautke zaroor ata he." She chuckled.

"Aur tu bhi to mere paas lautke aya he." She murmured in a low voice.

He noticed her murmuring nd asked "Kuch kaha tu ne?"

"Nahi nahi kuch nahi." She denied.

Eventually the cake cutting event also got over nd Aku kept the slices of cake in the mouths of Ishu Anju nd Rohan.
Ishu nd Anju took a peice nd while keeping it in Aku's mouth, exclaimed "Ek saal aur budhhi hi gayi re Aku!!" Nd then they started smudging the creams in other's faces.

Ishu took a handful of cream nd came towards Rohan. He tried defending himself with his hands but failed. Ishu rubbed the cream in his face in such a way that he was looking like a real vampire!
Anju clicked a photo of them with Rohan's camera where Ishu was smudging the cake in his face.

After finishing their dinner, Aku announced "Guys! Mera birthday he aur ek horror movie nahi hogi? Its impossible!"

"Nahi koi zaroorat nahi he!" Ishu protested as she is a chicken.

"Zaroorat he darpok kahika! Aku tui movie chala." Anju agreed with Aku.

"Rohan tumhe dar to nahi lagega na?" Anju chuckled.

"I'm the greatest horror movie maniac you'd have ever seen. Mein khud raat jaag kar horror movies dekhta hu." He boasted.

Now everyone's eyes went to Ishu in order to change her opinion nd hence she had to agree unwillingly.

So they gathered in the sofa. Ishu sat between Rohan nd Aku. Nd Anju sat beside Aku. The movie started playing in Aku's laptop. It was a Hollywood horror movie.
Ishu was already having goosebumps. After few minutes, in one scene where the ghost revealed it's face, Ishu got so scared that she screamed at the top of her voice. She grabbed Rohan's arms nd buried her face in his chest. Everyone got startled by her sudden scream.
"Mujhe dar lag rahi he maa!!" She was still screaming while clutching Rohan's shirt.

"Ishu why r u getting so scared? Its only a movie! Dekh." Rohan tried to calm her down while patting her back. She slowly looked up nd became embarrassed. She stood up in a thud " I don't wanna watch this bakwas movie anymore! I'm going" she announced nd went towards her room with heavy steps.
Everyone started laughing after she left. She didn't came out of her room until the movie finished though her Rohan was sitting outside. Dar pyaar ko bhi haar mana sakti he!!

"Now I think I should leave."Rohan said looking his watch. "Its was really a nice time spent with u guys. Thanks for inviting me." he gave them a wide smile.
He gave a side hug to them before leaving.
As soon as he opened the door he caught his head nd started to wince in pain. Seeing his condition they rushed to him nd made him sit in the sofa. Ishu gave him a glass of water. After drinking it he felt better.

"What happened to you? Tu thik to he na?" She panicked.

"I'm...fine Ishita. Bas stress ki wajah se thoda...chakkar aa gaya tha." He convinced them nd stood up to leave.

"Rohan if you want you can stay here tonight. Tumhe iss halat me akele ghar jaane ki zaroorat nahi he." Aku chipped.

"Yes Rohan risk lene ki zaroorat nahi he." Anju agreed.

"No no... Its okay... I'm fine." He said nd left.

Ishu couldn't sleep that night until she called him nd made it sure that he had reached home safely.

Nd gradually, yes gradually Ishu was coming close to him.
