*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She was standing on the terrace watching the stars. The guests had just left after attending the party her bhaiyya and bhabhi had thrown on her birthday. Everybody had come, from the tech-wizard Shree to the receptionist at the ETF Office…everybody except the man for whom she had been waiting…the man whom her eyes had been searching for every moment…the man who hadn't even bothered to wish her himself and had sent his gift through Shree…and thinking about the gift vexed her even more…who on this wide planet gifted a PEN-DRIVE to the woman he loved? And this thought led to an even disastrous thought…did he even love her? After all, he hadn't said anything yet.
"But what about those secret glances he sends your way and that shy smile when you are around…doesn't that mean anything? And his eyes…the way he looks at you…the way he checks you out when you enter the room…and don't forget that he once winked at you too…and he's so protective about you…remember how worried he was when you sprained your ankle…" her ever optimistic heart reminded her…
But her mind was quick to react. "so what? He winks at Aisha bhabhi too…does that mean he loves her? And he smiles at Sameer bhaiyya too…does that imply that he has feelings for him too? And being protective doesn't mean he loves you…the way you do..."
"no he loves you…" her heart whispered…"but don't forget you are his best friend's sister…what if that love is of a brother for his sister…."
She mentally smacked herself before her thoughts spiraled out of control. That's what Arjun did to her…he confused her….always…sometimes he was so caring…and at others…so indifferent….
"aisa bhi kya kaam tha Arjun jo ek baar wish bhi nahi kiya…" she thought to herself….
The beep of her phone brought her out of this reverie…a message from Arjun…
"toh finally yaad aa hi gaya ki mujhe wish karna hai…"she muttered as she opened it only to be disappointed…for it said only this much…"gift kaisa tha?"
Her eyes welled up in anger and disappointment and she replied…"bohot ghatiya tha. Koi bhala pen-drive gift karta hai kissi ko…"
Almost immediately arjun's reply came "matlab tumne usse nahi dekha…roshni tumhe sach mein lagta hai ki main tumhe pen drive gift karoonga…madam aapka gift pen drive ke andar hai…apna laptop uthao aur kholo usse…fir batana kaisa laga…"
She quickly wiped away her tears. "How silly of me", she thought," kholke toh dekhna chahiye tha mujhe…"
She ran to her room…Sameer and Aisha were asleep. Taking her laptop she sat beside the window and plugged in the pen drive. There was one folder and an audio recording…
She opened the folder first and what she saw amazed her…for all it contained was her photographs..taken at different times..with different people…clicked secretly by Arjun of course…she had always known that Arjun loved photography but hadn't the slightest idea that she was his muse….never before had she felt so special….and she couldn't be annoyed any longer….
Next she opened the audio file…
Arjun's voice filled the room and each word that he spoke filled her with a deeper happiness and made her blush harder…her eyes were closed trying to feel him near her…she wanted to capture this moment forever…trying to drink in the love which overflowed in his words…
(the recording)
"TO ROSHNI, WITH LOVE...
Was it your chocolate eyes,
Or your innocent face?
Or was it your smile,
Or your sheer grace?
Was it your chirpiness,
Or the fact that you cared?
Or was it your simplicity,
Or your generosity uncompared?
Was it your kindness,
Or the fact that you understood?
Or was it your pranks,
Or was the way you blushed just too good?
I can't explain what it was,
That it was magic, i do confess.
And I'm now like a being possessed,
While you, yes you, are my enchantress.
You allayed my fears, made me smile,
You squeezed my hand when I did cry.
You made me confident, gave me peace,
When I lost, you taught me to try.
And today, as you cut the cake,
And birthday wishes for you pour in,
Accept my wishes and my gratitude,
For being the amazing person you've been.
And along with 'Happy Birthday',
I want to say something else too.
You're the happiness I've always wanted,
And that I love you true.
You are the person, whom I admire,
The person whom I'll cherish forever.
I want to be yours for eternity,
I and though I may perish, my love won't ever.
You're the reason I smile in my sleep,
I want to share my life with you.
So I go down on my knees and extend my hand,
Dear Roshni, I Really Love You..."
Tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks as she sat mesmerized with her eyes still closed…she had loved Arjun since she had first met him and with time this love had only grown...and though she had the guts to confess to him…the fear of rejection and a childhood dream of being swept off her feet by her prince charming had always held her back..she had waited..waited for Arjun to make the first move and now that he had confessed albeit not face to face…she was too moved to even think…let alone speak…
Truly it is at times like these when silence conveys feelings much better than words….
She was still sitting the same way, when she felt someone whisper in her ear…
" kaisa laga tohfa?"
oh..that husky voice which always sent a tingle down her spine…how could she not recognize it…
She got up to face him…and yet her eyes were down…even in the moonlight Arjun could see her blushing…her soft lips were inviting him to taste them…she was glowing in the moonlight…looking more enticing than ever…Roshni was a seductress in every way except the fact that she never realized she was one…she didn't know how Arjun's breath hitched everytime he saw her smile..she didn't know how much Arjun wanted to drown in her deep chocolate brown eyes…she didn't know and Arjun was in a full mood to tell her but he chuckled to himself as he saw her shy smile and her eyes that glistened with pure happiness…for in those moments of silence he realized that he had an entire lifetime…no seven lifetimes to let her know…
He went down on his knees…and held out a ring to her…"miss Roshni Rathore, kya aap mujhse shaadi karengi? " he asked her grinning…his midnight black orbs fixed on her ethereal face…
She didn't say anything…just nodded shyly..as Arjun slipped the ring in her finger.
And at that precise moment the lights of the room came on and the couple saw Sameer and Aisha smirking knowingly in the doorway…
"aa gaye dono pyaar ke dushman.." Arjun muttered loud enough for only roshni to hear, who had to try really hard to keep a straight face…
"tum dono yaha kya kar rahe ho?" Arjun asked accusingly..
Sameer glanced at his wife who looked equally amused and then said to Arjun.. "merit oh behen hai..main jab chahoon yahan aa sakta hun..tum batao..tum kya kar rahe ho yahan? Huh?"
"hogi tumhaari behen sam..par ab…" Arjun said looking at Roshni lovingly "meri hone vaali biwi hai, samjhe ya samjhaun?"
"hum toh kab ka samjh gaye the jeejaji…"Aisha replied stressing on the word jeejaji, "par aap shayad bohot der se samajh paaye…"
And laughing, Sameer and Aisha returned to their room leaving the couple to themselves…
By now roshni had recovered and was back to her normal playful self. "Mujhe naghi pata tha ki ACP sahib ko poem likhni bhi aati hai…"
"yeh toh sirf shuruaat hai…shaadi ho jaane do..fir batata hun mujhe kya kya aata hai…" Arjun replied naughtily…as he tried to hold her hand…
But roshni was quicker. She moved away just in time and asked him in an apparently serious tone, "sach sach kahiye..mujhse pehle kitni ladkiyon ko iss poetry ke jaadu se ghayal kar chuke hain?"
Arjun inched closer to her and whispered in her ear, "aap pehli hain jinhe yeh saubhagya prapt hua hai..baaki ladkiyon ko ghayal karne ke liye toh humari smile hi kaafi hai.."
Saying that, he engulfed her in a loving embrace, never to let her go again…
