Part 7
Rahul walks into the terrace but isn't sure what to do or say. Its been the most confusing day.
He does think she feels something for him but what if he is wrong. He doesn't want to mess up
things any more than they are. But he can't take the way things are right now. If he says or does
anything he may risk everything. She hasn't said anything though. Shes been the most pleasant
and quiet shes ever been with him and he doesn't like that one bit. He wanted his Muskaan back.
Muskaan actually feels bad for running away from Rahul. She knows he cares for her and
realizes that she loves him as well. She always did but did not know what it was. She just
doesn't know what to do about it. She wishes she could have stayed in the embrace they shared
while dancing. She felt safe there. But it was wrong especially right in front of everyone.
And now she ran away. She wonders what he must be thinking with tears in her eyes.
He sees her dupatta is on the bed and she is shivering and holding her arms around herself. He
picks it up and just decides to go for it. He wraps it around her and she jumps a little and gasps slightly.
She turns her head the slightest and he gives her a light kiss on her head. Instead of pulling away
she actually takes his hands and pulls him closer. He is shocked but incredibly happy. He
thought this encounter was going to be very difficult. She leans into him and melts in his arms.
She feels nice and cool and he breaths her in taking in her scent.
Rahul - Muskaan mein.. woh.. tujhe (finding it incredibly difficult to finally say the words)
He hears her sniffle slightly. And makes her turn around and sees that she has tears going
down her face.
Rahul - Ye kya? Kya hua?
She can't make eye contact. He tilts her head up and kisses away the tears as she closes her
eyes. A slight smile appears on her face and she moves in to hug him. This he definitely did
not expect but he is loving every moment. Hes never seen her this shy and loving.
Muskaan - (Ye mujhe kya hogaya hai? Aaj tak kisi ki bi baat par sharam nahin ayi. Kisiko dekh kar dil
mein kabhi kuch hua nahin. Lekin ab...)
Rahul - Ay! Ab teek hai? Itni chipak kyun rahi hai? (now in his mast mood)
Muskaan - Rahul! (hitting his chest with her fist but not letting go for a second)
Rahul - Ok ok ab tu ye to pata.. Tu mujhse kitna pyar karti hai? (wow .. did i just say that out loud??)
Muskan - Woh.. (finally realizing what he asked) Ay.. maine kab kaha ke mein tujhse..? (trying to
get out of his embrace) Tere jaise nikame se kaun pyar kar sakta hai? Teek tara baat karna bhi nahin aata. Ab chod mujhe.
Rahul - Oy! Ab to main nahin chodne wala. Yeh tujhe pehle sochna chaiye tha.
Shes still struggling to get away when he pulls her in even closer.
Muskaan - Rahul ye tu.. kya.. (looking down again as he kisses her forehead)
They completely understand each other without saying very much. It wasn't a time to discuss this but
to just be in each others presence and feel the moment. But still Muskaan wants him to say it
out loud so that she knows its not a dream. She also doesn't want to tell him she loves him first even
though there is no longer a fear of rejection. So she decides to be abrupt and just ask him.
Muskaan - Vaise.. tumne mujhe pehle kyun nahin kaha ke tum mujhse itna pyar karte ho?
Rahul - Nahin kaha? To.. ab.. sun...le..... (stuttering.. not sure how to say everything)
Muskaan - Rehne de. Rehne de. Tujhe pyar vyar karna to aata nahin hai.
Rahul - Teri to. Nahin aata?
He finally lets her go but comes closer to her as she starts backing away and she ends up pinned against the wall.
She can't escape as he has his arms on either side of her. She turns her face slightly to the side and closes her eyes. He moves in and blows back a strand of hair from her face and kisses her cheek. She could feel his warm breath against her face. She opens her eyes and looks into his and immediately looks down but ends up staring at his lips. Suddenly he bent down and kissed her bottom lip slowly. She closed her eyes. He put his hands on her waist and she brought her arms up around his neck with her hands ruffling his hair. She was now kissing him back.
Then she realized what she had been doing. She quickly pushed him away breaking the embrace. She was looking away and was blushing immensely but he was staring right at her with a smirk on his face. She then turns to run away.
