A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 71

They both looked up as the rain drenched them in seconds.

'Chalo Sona! Tumhari mitti ki problem to solve hogayi!'

Sonakshi laughed as Rohit got up and gave her a hand to lift her off the ground.

Sonakshi began to twirl.

'Wow! I love the rain! You remember..'

'Goa? I can never forget! Bas ab gaana gaana mat shuru hojaana bas..'

'What? Maine gaana kab gaaya?'

'Seriously? You don't remember?'

He slapped his forehead dramatically.

'Batao na, Rohit! Mujhe to gaana gaana hi nahin aata..'

'Really? Kya dance kar kar ke gaaya tha..'

'Tum meri taang khench rahe ho na?'

Rohit began to mimic her and danced drunkenly.

'Aaj rapat jaayen to hamain na uthaiyo..aaj phisal jaayen to hamain na uthaiyo..'

'Oh my God! I did that?'

She put her face in her hands.

'Hey! Bohot cute tha sach mein! Abhi gao na..'

'No, no!'

'Please Sona! Mere liye..'

The rain continued drenching them.

'Mujhe to koi yaad bhi nahin araha..'

'Woh..Aamir Khan or Kajol wala..'

Sonakshi tried to remember.

'Oh han!'

She took his hand and began.

'Yeh saazish hain boondon ki
koi khwaahish hain chup chup si
Yeh saazish hain boondon ki
koi khwaahish hain chup chup si
Dekho na dekho na
Dekho na dekho na..'

Rohit turned her around and began dancing with her, as he sang too.

'Hawaa kuchh haule haule
Zubaan se kya kuchh bole
Kyun doori hain ab darmiyaan
Dekho na dekho na
Dekho na dekho na..'

The waves pounded on the beach, the rain continued, as without singing or music, they danced away, lost in their own world.

                  *****

Sonakshi sneezed for the third time.

'Bless you! Sona, tumhe to thand lag gayi shayad!'

He came to take the towel from her and proceeded to dry her hair.

'Aray! Kuch nahin hai Rohit! I'm fine!'

'Yar, mujhe yaad kyun nahin raha ke tum last time bhi beemar parr gayi thi? It's my fault..'

'Stop Rohit! Abhi theek hojaungi!'

'Ab meri tarha to ho nahin ke sab handle kar lo..'

He sneezed. Loudly.

Sonakshi looked up at him and laughed.

'Karo karo..sab handle karo..'

'Theek hai, theek hai..ho jaata hai kabhi kabhi..' he looked sheepish.

'Betho yahan. Mein coffee banati hun.'
