Scene 6
Viren woke up feeling better than he had in a while. For a second he almost felt like normal, and that he'd turn to his right and find Nivi lying next to him till he remembered everything, and that he was back on the damned sofa! He made a face at the thought and looked over to see the bed was empty. He lay back thinking why had he woken up feeling so light despite everything and then remembered the night before. He remembered Nivi's hug, the way he'd felt like he never wanted to move from there, her singing and then thought of how she'd tucked him in so sweetly...he was so confused! He didn't know how to react or where they would go from here. He had to keep his distance but couldn't see how he was going to manage that. He felt his good mood slip away slowly and sighed putting his right arm over his face.
Nivi came back into the room after her shower and saw that Viren was still asleep. Well he looked asleep but he had his arm over his face so she couldn't tell. She wondered if she should wake him but then remembered the night before and wasn't sure what sort of mood Viren would be in if she woke him right now. Plus there was so much to do, she was already late and her hair was still wet so she hurried and began drying it with a towel. She flicked her hair over and bent forward slightly drying the back first, after a few seconds she flicked it back over and stopped in mid-action as she realised Viren was sitting up on his sofa blinking rapidly with wide eyes.
Viren heard Nivi come into the room and had to fight the urge to move his arm and look at her. It didn't really matter much; he could see her from behind his closed eyelids anyway because her face was imprinted on his brain! He sighed and was about to get up when he felt drops of water on his arm. He moved his arm and saw Nivi bent over drying her long dark hair. He had a sudden urge to go and hold her close and bury his face in her hair when she straightened up and flicked her hair back so that drops of water flew at his face and he had to blink several times before he could see clearly. He looked into her eyes once his had cleared and felt himself falling again...quickly before he could lose himself he said the first thing that came into his head 'yeh koi jagaane ka tareeka hai?!' What he really wanted to say and what he could hear in his own mind was 'mujhe roz isi tarah jagaana please!' He brushed away that thought and saw Nivi blink a few times herself and still looking a bit dazed, she said in a light but pointed tone 'tumhi ne toh kaha tha ke tumhe roz sabse pehle mujhe dhekna hai...wahi toh kar rahi hoon main!' He was so surprised at her words! He just looked at her wordlessly and looking slightly smug, she turned and went to sit at the dressing table and began putting on her earrings and bangles.
Nivi could see Viren watching her through the mirror but carried on with what she was doing; she'd shocked him with her words and she was glad! She was getting annoyed at his change of moods and thought he needed something to make him think. She hadn't really meant to wake him at all but let him think that she thought, as she went to pick up the little pot of sindoor. As she took a pinch of the red powder and brought her hand up she looked up and met Viren's eyes in the mirror. He'd gotten up and had gone to the wardrobe to pick out some clothes and turning back had looked over and their eyes had clashed again. She didn't know how long they looked at each other but she did know she'd suddenly forgotten how to breathe! Her hand was still hovering by her head and with a jolt of surprise, she almost thought Viren was about to cross the few feet to where she was sitting. She knew she was imagining it but she thought she saw confusion in his eyes as staying where he was, he nodded to her slightly as if to say 'aren't you going to put that on?!' She blinked, feeling confused again at his lightspeed change in mood and still with her eyes locked on his, she brought her hand over her head putting the sindoor on in a perfect line.
Viren felt confused at what Nivi had said, had she really done that on purpose with her hair?! His eyes followed her automatically as if they had nothing else to do and he absently wiped his face while still looking at her. He forced himself to get up and go to the wardrobe and randomly took out some jeans and a black top. He turned and his traitorous eyes found hers again and he saw her reach for the sindoor. Suddenly and totally crazily, he felt like going over and placing it on her head himself! He was getting tired of denying his feelings and felt like he was on the edge about to fall into the unknown. His feet actually started moving until he came to his senses and stopped, still looking at her. Nivi stared at him and for a while, he got lost in her eyes, wanting to say so much but unable to speak. After what seemed like an eternity, he nodded to her helplessly and kept watching as she applied the sindoor to her forehead. After a few more seconds, he forced himself to break eye contact and moved towards the door, shaking his head clear and telling himself that it didn't mean anything. As he walked into the bathroom and took off his top, a small voice in his mind argued 'if it didn't mean anything, while you were looking at her, why had it felt as though you were applying the sindoor yourself...?' He closed his eyes against the thought and stepped into the shower.
