Love In The Moonlight

DRISHTI'S POV

Tonight is beautiful, not just literally beautiful, but actually beautiful. I will cherish this day as long as I live, because so many amazing things happened in the span of a mere twenty four hours. And the best part of it - the day was not over yet.
I knew, back from our days at Bali, that there was something special between me and him, we shared a bond named friendship, which turned into a bond of relationship, but yet, I could not find the exact name for that lovely feeling that binds us together.
Throughout my entire life, I had always planned things ahead of time, but with Rakshit, it was as if I am living in the moment. Kissing him this evening was an impulsive act, but I do not regret, no, I regret none of it. In fact, I wanted to kiss him again.

I was extremely impressed by the arrangement that Rakshit made for our movie date. The curtains were pulled back, so that the entire room was now pitch black. The only source of light was from the huge LED screen, attached to the wall facing the bed. And upon the screen was the poster of one of my most favourite movies of all time - Sanam Teri Kasam.

I looked at him and arched my eyebrows, demanding an answer. How did he know that I absolutely loved this movie? Or was it just guesswork?

He smirked.

~ "Don't look at me like that. I might have learnt a lot about you from your diary."

I rolled my eyes. God knows what else he has learnt from that diary!

We slid inside the blankets and Rakshit handed me a bowl of Tutti Fruity icecream.

~ "Have you watched this movie before?"

~ "Nope."

~ "Tell me Rakshit Shergill, how many movies have you watched in your entire life?"

He looked at me with wide eyes. I sighed.

He opened his mouth to say something, but I interrupted.

~ "I got my answer. Let's just watch the movie."

He nodded.

Rakshit pressed the play button on the remote and the movie started. Saraswati and Inder. I have watched this movie countless number of times and yet, I always cry in the end. But I was left with this one question that kept nagging at the back of my mind - was love really so beautiful? A year ago, the answer would have been yes, but now -

~ "I don't quite like Saru's sister. She is mean."

I smiled at him.

~ "I don't like her either. She should have supported Saru and instead, she is just blaming her."

~ "You are lucky to have Divya."

~ "I know."

My smile widened. I dipped into my icecream and scooped some into my mouth. It has been ages since I ate icecream. As the soft icecream melted upon my tongue, I stared, not at the screen, but at Rakshit, who was watching the movie intently. I hope he likes it. And I realized that I was not wondering about the movie, but my choices. I hope that he likes my choices.
