PART-4
Rads hid behind a tree and saw A's confused face,she took out her phone from her jeans pocket and dialled a no,"Hello...Are you ready Nik?"
The person on the other side:Yes Rads...
Rads:OK...jaldi se start karo...
After that call,Radhu saw Aj looking in the direction,from where his favourite song is being sung by someone.He slowly moved in the direction of the song,mesmerized by the singers voice.Rads too followed him carefully,hiding at diff places,as he felt someone was following him and was frequently turning around to check.He finally reached the garden area,where a band was performing on this song and the crowd gathered there,enjoying their performance and cheering them.He forgot everything and got lost in the sweet voice of the singer and the music,being played by other members.Rads saw him and felt very happy seeing him enjoying it.
"Wowww!my all time favourite song,kya gaa raha hain yaar yeh banda,he is awesome.Jab bhi mein yeh gaana sunta hoon,i feel sooo good."
"I know hubby,,this is your favourite song,u know na it's my fav too.So,i planned this specially for you.After this song ends,you will get your sixth card."
A was enjoying and suddenly his eyes fell on d letter,that he was holding in his hand.
"Oh no...yeh maine kya kiya...i have to find the 6th and 7th cards and mein yaha aaram se gaana sun raha hoon,yeh gaana sunke mein kho jaata hoon,isiliye jaise hi yeh gaana shuru hua,mein kheeche chala aaya yaha sab kuch bhool kar,now i have to go and think why she has left 6th and 7th songs blank."
He then heard few people standing near him,in the back row,were gossiping something and one of the men said,"Kya baat kar raha hain,yeh specially kisi ke bulane pe yaha aaye hain."
He heard another man saying,"Yes dude,this song is dedicated to someone special by a girl."
Aj was shocked listening this and then it struck him that,"Kahi Sunshine hi woh ladki toh nahi,jisne yeh sab arrange karwaya mujhe surprise karne ke liye."
"Haan Arjun,yeh sab maine kiya hain tumhare liye."
(She tied a scarf across her face,so that AJ would not recognize her,she slowly walked towards d stage and placed the card in the guitar case,then came back and silently stood in the crowd.Jyaada bheed ki hone ke baad bhi kisi ka dhyaan Rads par nahi gaya, they were totally involved in the performance...including Arjun)
Aj was shocked would be an understatement because he was touched by dis sweet gesture of his wife,apnon ke liye kuch bhi karne ki Rads ki yahi quality Arjun ko bahut pasand hain,he now understood the reason behind those blank 6 and 7 serial no's
"Yehi 6th song hogi and after they finish the performance,i think i will get the 6th card."
As soon as,the band finished their Performance,the crowd cheered 4r them and showered them with applauds.AJ also applauded and shouted excitedly,"You guys are awesome,loved ur performance."
Nik invited Arjun to join them on d stage.
The crowd made way for Aj and he finally reached the make-shift stage.
Aj shook hands with them and praised them.
The singer,from the band...introduced himself saying,"Hi,i am Nikhil...friends call me Nik and these are my friends,this is Rahul, Premium, Sid, Raj..."
A-Hello everyone,I am Ar...
Nik-Arjun right,i know you?
AJ-"How?"
"Wait...it means Sun..i mean Radh...he was cut short by nik."
Nik-Yes dude,Rads planned this specially for you.I must say,you are lucky to have her in your life.
Aj-"Do you know her?"
Nik-Yes,she was my classmate in high school...
AJ:Oh,that's great...nice meeting you...
Nik-Same here...
(Then his eyes fell on the card,placed in the Guitar case nearby.)
He took it and opened to see Rads's 6th promise:Whatever comes in our life,be it good or bad,we will face it together...
AJ's 6th promise:Yes Ms.Shiny,we will face everything together...saying so,he smiled widely.
(Rads was standing in the crowd and observing all this,with a huge smile plastered on her lips,seeing her Arjun happy)
AJ:"Can u give me the mike,I want to say something?"
Nik:Sure...here take it...
AJ to the crowd:So,guys.You all would have understood that,that lucky guy is me,for whom this rocking band especially performed...
Crowd in unison:Yes...
Arjun:Awesome...so,i want to thank my jaan,for planning this for me.I know she is in the crowd,because she would have definitely come to see my reactions...All i want to say is,"I love you Sunshine and you are the best."
"I love you too Arjun"
A:So,guys i also want to sing something for her...my voice is not so good,but i will try...
"OMG!Pehli baar Arjun mere liye khud gaane waala hain,that's so sweet of him."
Arjun started singing,"Banjaare ko ghar...and the band started playing the instruments."
Rads got totally involved in the performance and lost in her beloveds voice.
After he completed singing,Nik,his band and the crowd cheered and applauded.Sunshine smiled and blew a flying kiss,exactly at that point,her scarf fell revealing her face...
AJ winked and pointed to her,"There she is...my SUNSHINE."
The crowd turned to her and clapped for her,she bowed them and thanked Nik and his band.After that,she ran away from there,gesturing AJ to follow her...
A was confused seeing her running,he also thanked Nik and his band and ran behind her...
Nik's band and the crowd congratulated them for their future ahead and they thanked them...
A:Stop baby...why r u running?
R:Because,abhi bhi ek card baaki hain,u have to catch me,to reach that card...she showed the card to him,that was in her palm clutched protectively and increased her pace.
A:Accha,yeh baat hain...ab dekhna mein tumhe yun pakad lunga...and started running even more faster...
As,he was about to catch her,exactly at that moment...due to heavy breeze,the letter,that he was holding in his hand flew away,he started chasing it and finally caught hold of it...When he turned around searching for Rads,he saw her ascending the terrace stairs.After reaching the terrace,she halted breathing heavily and gestured him to come up...AJ was about in d midst of climbing stairs, when his eyes fell on the card and a small box placed on one of the steps.He took the box and saw his favourite 'Rolex' watch in it...He became very happy and gasped gleefully,"Thank u sooo much Sunshine,i loved it."
Rads looked down from the terrace and replied smiling,"Mujhe pata tha,tumhe zaroor pasand aayegi...ab jaldi se upar aa jao,i am waiting...
While climbing the stairs,he opened the card and saw her 7th Promise:Whenever u will feel low,i will cheer u and be your pillar of strength...
A's 7th promise:Even i promise,to cheer u up,whenever ur mood will be off...
As soon as,he reached the terrace,he started searching for Rads but she was nowhere to be seen...
He started singing,"Jaanam dekh lo,mit gayi dooriyan...
Mein yahan hoon,yahan hoon,yahaan hoon...yahan..."
Rads smiled from,under the shed like thing,she was hiding and sang,"Yeh haseen wadiyaan,yeh khula aasman,agaye hum kaha yeh mere saajna,mujhko tum jo mile har khushi mil gayi..."
AJ moved in the direction of the voice and as soon as she heard the foot steps at a distance,she stopped singing and ran away from there,but her dupatta fell there itself,before she could reach to it,she heard the footsteps coming closer and ran away,leaving it there itself...
A saw her dupatta and bent down catching hold of it,"Gotcha..."
Arjun ka sara mehnat paani mein phir gaya,kyunki waha Rads nahi,sirf uski dupatta thi...
It started lightning and he felt rain drops falling on him...
He started singing loudly,while simultaneously searching for Rads,"Kabhi jo badal barse,
Mein dekhu tujhe aankhen barke,tu lage mujhe pehli baarish ki dua..."
He finally spotted her standing at a distance,closing her eyes and stretching her arms,facing the sky and enjoying the feeling of rain drops drenching/caressing her...
Arjun was mesmerized seeing her and stood frozen in his position...She was looking like an angel,in that white salwar,pearl necklace and matching ear-rings...resplendent girl i must say,he thought to himself and smiled sheepishly,ruffling the back of his wet hair...
"Waise har colours mein meri Sunshine beautiful lagti hain, lekin white mein toh yeh aur bhi pyaari lagti hain,aisa lag raha hain ki koi angel seedha aasman se darti par aayi hain..."
Within few minutes,the drizzle turned into heavy downpour...
Rads was still closing her eyes and enjoying drenching in the rains,her dress sticked to her body,like her second skin,accentuating her perfect curves...
Arjun was wearing a transparent shirt,the rain drops revealed his muscular torso and well toned body...
She finally opened her eyes and was surprised to see Arjun standing at a distance and staring at her intently.She immediately lowered her eyes blushing furiously...
