The air was very humid which made her want to run back to Mumbai and the uncountable mosquitoes were of no help either. She loved coming here to visit her bua that was the only reason she had agreed to stay for the night. She stood up from the bed pulling the ear phones out of her ears. She placed her eye pod on the side table and walked towards the window. She leaned against it and looked at the moon high up in the sky. She used to do that pretty often, leaning against the window and watching the moon like that, it reminded her of the times when her mother and she would sit by the window and then she would tell her different stories. She would listen to them keenly until she would fall asleep. She grabbed the necklace hanging around her neck tightly and took a deep breath. She missed her mother and just like so many other people she also wondered if she as looking at her right now. A cool breeze of wind blew and her hair fell on her face. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of it against her skin. Then she opened her eyes removing her hair from her face and once again looked at the sky. The dark clouds were starting to surround the moon and she desperately wished that it would rain. But right now the cool wind also seemed no less than a blessing.
"Hello…I can't hear you" said swayam to the person on the other end of the phone. "wait I'll go outside the signals are weak here" he walked outside cursing rey in his mind. He had tricked him to come here for the weekend with him. Yes, this place was beautiful but at night those little mosquitoes could literally eat u alive. He slapped his arm in order to kill one while trying to talk on the phone. He was so annoyed at himself that he thought of going home today. But as he raised his eyes and looked forward, the sight in front of him made him wish that this night would never end. What he saw he was not able to describe in words. If he had heard before that God is the best creator then he was seeing a splendid example of right now. He had never seen someone so beautiful. He didn't want to take even a step forward as he was scared the angel in front of him might vanish. She was sitting on a big rock with her hair left open floating in air, wearing a white colored breathtakingly beautiful frock which ended just above her knees. Her eyes were fixed on the moon and a soft smile was applying on her lips which were their natural shade of pink. He now understood the definition of beauty. Her eyes had a little moisture in them and the awed expression on her face told him that she was remembering someone very close to her. Her skin glowed under the moonlight which fell on her as if she was sitting under a spotlight, it seemed as if the god himself wanted was throwing light on her wanting the whole world to see one of the best examples of his creativity. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, his mind seemed to have wandered off somewhere else and the world seemed to have been vanish in thin air all there was left was this angel to stare.
She had walked in the garden which seemed more like a huge ground and sat on a big rock. Even thought she didn't want to but she had started gazing at the moon again remembering her mother and then she could feel someone's gaze on her. At first she was too indulged in her own thoughts to notice anyone but when she heard something dropping on the floor. she turned her head sideways and saw a handsome young man standing there looking at her with an un readable expression on his face. His phone was lying on the ground right next to him. She looked at him and was once again lost somewhere. She was used to being stared by men but she had never ever thought that she would stare a man herself. He seemed as if god himself had carved him giving his angels a day off. She took a deep breath as she shamelessly took in his perfectly chiseled chest. The top two buttons of his shirt were open revealing a bit of his brown shaded skin. He was lean and tall with an extremely handsome face. His eyes held so much purity in them and she felt like drowning in them. Then her gaze fell on his lips and she felt a sudden urge to feel them against her own. That was it she looked away and starred at thin air with wide eyes. "What am I thinking?" she thought and then took few moments to calm herself.
She stood up more annoyed at herself for drooling over a random person than at the handsome mystery man. She walked up to him and he kept looking at her as if she just walked out of a dream which made it difficult for her to remain mad. She walked up to him and snapped her fingers in front of him saying with a slightly bitter tone to her edge "why are you starring at me like that?" he snapped out of his trance and said "whoa u r real?" Sharon "what?" swayam "sorry…I thought u r.." Sharon "I am what?" swayam "a ghost" Sharon "A WHAT!" swayam "a ghost…because no other human could be this inhumanly beautiful" for a second she remained quiet but then snapped at him even more annoyed at herself now "shut up…never seen a girl before?" swayam "No, not this beautiful" Sharon "stop trying to flirt with me" swayam "BTW I am swayam sekhawat" Sharon "listen I am not interested in knowing who u r!...got that…now mind ur own business and quit starring at me like a freak" swayam smiled and said the one thing that he badly wanted to do right now "dance with me" Sharon "listen loser…that's not how u ask a girl for dance…dance with me…what is that…u r supposed to say can I have the pleasure of sharing a dance with you?" swayam's smile grew even more wider and he said "pardon me….can I have the pleasure of sharing a dance with you?" Sharon "NO" swayam "why?" Sharon "because I am Sharon Riapraksh and I don't dance with losers…I chose my dance partners myself and they are special moreover capable great dancers not some weirdo like you" swayam "dance with me once and u'll know how capable I am" Sharon "huh…pul-eez I just said I don't dance with creeps got that…to dance with me you have to prove that u r worthy of dancing with me" swayam "how?" Sharon "umm…if I will ever be mesmerized by ur dance then I will be the one to come up to u and ask for a dance!" swayam smirked and said "that's it" Sharon "what do u mean that's it….impressing me with ur dance is something which no has been able to do" then she once again snapped her fingers in front of him and said "NO one" then she turned around and walked away from there while he stood there with his hands crossed upon his chest and a smile paying on his lips and said "well there is always a first time"
Two weeks later….
Sharon looked at her watch for the third time and felt like pulling her hair out in anger. She called rey again and this time after ringing for a long time he picked up and Sharon yelled "what the hell rey? Where r u?" rey "at home" Sharon "what?" rey "hey I tripped and sprained my ankle so I was not able to make it…but a friend of mine has agreed to perform instead of me" Sharon "what is this rey…..how am I supposed to dance with a stranger…and moreover he does not even know the steps…I have not even practiced with him." Rey "Sharon relax he knows all the steps in fact he is the who choreographed them for me….and about practice don't worry I know u'll do great" Sharon "but…." Rey "I gotta go Sharon..all the best" with this he cut the call. Sharon cursed rey under her breath and waited for the stranger to come. When she had come here two weeks ago she had learned that the orphanage where her bua works celebrates the birthday of all the children at a single day as no one knows their real birthdays. So she had decided to perform for the young children to make their birthday special. She had decided to tell them the story of sleeping beauty through her dance as she thought the children might like it. She had asked rey for help and now he had ditched her at the last moment. It was almost time for her performance and no one has arrived and then she heard someone say "hello….we met again" Sharon looked at the man wide eyed he was the handsome mysterious man from that night. She could not believe her eyes. Now she has to dance with him.
The music started playing and her feet started to move in synchronization with it and along her his feet also moved matching her each and every step. Throughout the dance she could not believe her eyes. He danced with so much grace, all the steps he did were passionate and calm at the same time. He had so much control over his body while dancing and not even for a second she felt uncomfortable while dancing with him. Now it was time for her to close her eyes as it was the part where the princess was supposed to go into deep sleep. She didn't want to close her eyes even for second. She didn't want to miss a second for him dancing. But she had to and she did and after a while she could feel his breath against her skin as he bent down to peck her on her cheek in order to wake her up from her deep slumber and as he did she felt a shiver run down her spin making her knees go weak. It was such a relief that he was holding her right now and then she gently opened her eyes and looked in his. She found the same purity in them. The curtains fell and now they were alone lost in each other's eyes. That's when he smirked and whispered while bringing his face close to hers once again "so did I pass the test?" of course he knew the answer but he wanted to hear it from her mouth. She looked away and a slight blush crept upon her face making her heart go wild.
The party was so much fun and the children enjoyed the performance so so much. They all romanced around her all the time after her performance telling her how wonderfully she danced. But her eyes searched for only one person. Finally when all the children had retired to their beds and her bua had also gone to sleep she came outside and saw him sitting exactly where she had been sitting that night. She slowly walked up to him still wearing her princess costume and then he stood up upon seeing her approaching him. He was also wearing her prince costume and looked breath taking beautiful. She reached him and without wasting a second said "dance with me!" it was more like an order than request and he smirked upon seeing her reaction. He asked for her hand and she gladly gave her in his. He placed his hand on her waist and gently pulled her closer while she placed her hands around his neck. He slowly pulled her upon his feet and she smiled in turn. Then their bodies once again started to sway together and the moonlight once again fell on them as if they were dancing under a spotlight. Maybe this time God wanted to tell the people that matched are indeed made in heaven. While they two continued to dance under the moonlight lost in their own fairy tale.
