Last Part
Milind and Prachi slowly crept into the empty dimly lit theater. "shh!" Milind warned prachi as no one were allowed in before the thirty minutes of the show. They took the opportunity to go into the theater when the security who was guarding the door took off for his break. It was like breaking into a store or something. Like two burglars. Prachi felt the sheer excitement of being at the edge. They made their way through the narrow pathway between the chairs and sat at the very corner of the theater.
"That was a relief" Milind said breathless dropping himself on the seat and stretching his long legs. Prachi smiled and sat next to him. she didn't know why she went with him. but she knew that she had to get away from Ayesha that time. she was acting way too crazy.
At first, she thought of leaving Milind there to deal with her but to her horror, Milind was already planning his escape and without even thinking she had told him that she too will go with him. Milind raised a quizzical brow at first but then didn't think of questioning her further and shrugged his shoulders saying okay. Prachi followed Milind looking back at Ayesha one last time who was busy talking to her friends.
"I still don't get why you had to run" Milind stated curiously. "isn't she your cousin?"
"She is, but she is a bit psycho" She laughed. "I didn't know how she got over her long time crush and came after you"
"she had a crush?" Milind asked shocked.
"Of course she had and he was my geeky lab partner" Prachi rolled her eyes. "he is cute though, but very studious, he showed no interest in her but Ayesha has been crazy about him and wanted me to talk to him for her"
"So did you?"
"I tried, but he always ends up telling me about Newton's second law"
"what?" Milind laughed. "reminds me of my brother"
"really, when ever I talk to him about Ayesha, he will say 'every thing has an equal BUT opposite reaction' " Prachi said imitating the way how her lab partner does. "That's why I'm surprised, why she would start going out with YOU when she was so crazy about him"
"I too don't really understand, one day Ayesha just came up to me and asked me if I want to go out for a drink and since she was my sisters' friend I thought why not" Milind told her and she sat back smiling. "I didn't had the slightest idea that she was in for something like this"
"I think my lab partners rejection made her go insane" Prachi suggested and Milind looked at her briefly before burst out laughing and soon Prachi too joined with him. their laughter echoed through the empty hallway. They heard the door open and a flashlight emerge from the door. Alarmed they immediately ducked down.
"Anyone here?" They heard someone call. Milind signaled Prachi to be quiet and she covered her mouth instantly.
Milind popped his head up a bit to see about if the person was there or gone. The guard flashed his light over them but Milind immediately ducked down further and also made Prachi to do so holding her arm. not long then the guard has closed the door and left.
Milind was still unaware that he was holding her arm and their face was almost touching. Milind turned to her as her feminine perfume hit his nostrils. He inhaled them deeply and kept admiring the beauty beside him. he felt like touching the creamy flesh on her skin.
Prachi startled and moved away as she saw him watch her so intently and so close. He blinked as if trying to make sense. She got up hastily and sat back on her chair as her breath started to become erratic. She did felt her cheeks starting to warm up as she had never experienced such close proximity with anyone.
Milind had to fight the urge not to show her how attractive she was to him. for the first time, he had truly started to like someone. she was fun and easy going. And she wasn't plastic but real.
Feeling awkward, both sat back silently.
"So you really like SRK?" Milind asked trying to make a conversation.
"Yeah" Prachi turned to him and answered. Milind nodded his head as he knew that it wasn't the right question to ask if he was to make a conversation as she had already told him how much she loved SRK a thousand times.
As the theater's air condition was switched off, Milind was getting awfully hot. He dug his hands in his pockets and fished out his handkerchief and during that, his wallet fell off which went unnoticed by him and noticed by Prachi.
Prachi bent down to pick it up and accidently it opened revealing the carefully inserted picture. Prachi's mouth flew open and her eyes widened in surprise. Seeing her Milind asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh my god you know her?"
"Who?" Milind asked edging towards her. Prachi showed him the picture he kept of his siblings. The one which took almost a year back on a trip to Mauritius. Prachi fingered her Sukriti who was standing in between him and his younger brother, Neev.
"She, Sukriti"
"yeah I know her" Milind replied and was about to say that she was his sister when Prachi broke off saying,
"Oh my god, she is the bestest friend one could ever have" and Milind grinned. He knew his sister was one of a kind whom everyone adored. "yeah, she even let me copy her paper, such a darling she is"
"You copy?"
"Why you don't?" Prachi asked raising a brow. "Come on, if you don't copy in exams, then its not called an exam"
"really? Never heard that theory before"
"You wont as you really don't hail from a cool family like Surkriti, I'm surprise she never mentioned me about you" Prachi went on and Milind just kept quiet laughing silently not wanting to break the truth as yet. He was enjoying being anonymous and knowing about what Sukriti has told her friends about him.
"And this--?" Prachi asked pointing at Neev and before anyone could say anything, the door of the theater busted open and Ayesha came inside. She scanned around and before either Prachi or Milind could do anything, she saw them and marched straight towards them.
Milind like a 5-year-old boy scared of his school teacher going to punish him leaned towards Prachi as if trying to find refuge next to her.
"Where the hell is Neev?" Ayesha demanded and Prachi blinked in confusion. Milind opened his mouth to answer when Prachi again cut in.
"how does he know where he is?"
"Please Prachi, this is between Me and Milind" Ayesha said to Prachi and then turned to Milind. "Well? Where is he?"
Milind turned from Ayesha to Prachi. Prachi was looking at him encouraging him to answer to her question and then on the other hand was Ayesha standing like a tigress ready to eat him alive if he didn't answer her directly.
"He went to London" Milind replied tried to be as calm as possible.
"When will he be back?"
"I don't know"
"Milind when will he come back?" Ayesha asked him again. this time more firmly.
"Friday" Milind replied annoyed. "He' coming on Friday"
"thanks Milind" Ayesha's expression were like lightening which changed almost instantly that even he didn't realize that she was fuming a moment ago. She turned her heels and walked out and before going out she called. "Sorry about those dates Milind, didn't have any choice" She giggled normaly this time not like the awkward ones she gave before and Milind watched her puzzled. He had to run his eyes to see if her was really dreaming or not.
"What was that?" Prachi asked breaking the silence finally.
"I have no idea" Milind sighed thinking what really happened just now.
"why the hell did she come and ask YOU about Neev?"
"well'"
"You know? Neev is my lab partner I told you about and whom Ayesha is sooo after"
"What?!"
"Yeah, she was crazy for him and when she proposed him, he said he will think about it and till now, he didn't call her"
"wait wait wait, how did all this happen? And if she had a huge crush over him and also propose him, how come she wanted to date me so badly?" Milind asked her still unable to clear his doubt. He stared at Prachi wanting to know the answers from her. he watch her think for a moment then she clasped her mouth as realizing.
"What is it?" Milind asked curiously.
"the same old formula"
"What?"
"you know hooking up with his friend to make the other one jealous" Prachi told him. "I'm damn sure, this is all what is about" Milind's eyes widened as he realized. now it all made sense all of a sudden The weired laugh and the way she was possessively hanging around him, it was all part of her plan that too to make Neev jealous? She must like him very much to do so' Milind thought feeling a bit sympathetic towards her. But then again shook his head as anger began to over take him. she had made him go through the worst two dates of his life and made his sister to send him here to watch this boring movie too? he knew that Ayesha was unaware of sukriti sending him there but though indirectly, Ayesha is to be blamed.
"hey, you okay?" Prachi asked shaking him a bit and then milind took time to compose himself from all what has transpired just now. he was to answer when the theater door again opened and then people started to flood in. Prachi excitedly sat back as everyone else too excitedly took their seats and waited for the curtains to be raised for the next half which everyone had been waiting for so eagerly.
Suddenly, Milnd didn't feel like watching it. not even for Sukriti as now the soul reason for coming there was no more. Prachi had cleared it all to him and it did make sense too. Ayesha really did use him, though for fun just to make his brother jealous. Milind felt disgusted and got up to leave when the hall suddenly got dark and the screen lit up. immdeately everyone at the back of him started to shout to sit back and Milind had to sit back. he folded his arms angrily and stared at the screen.
prachi knew what he was going through on how it feels like when someone is being used. She had been used for so many times herself too. unlike his short lived relationship, she was been used through out her life. When her parents argue, they make sure that she is being used as an accuse for them doing so every time. nevertheless she waited to end it all as she know one day, it will all end eventually.
"what are you thinking?" She heard him ask her and Prachi just smiled shaking her head in negative and pointed to the screen as the second half of the movie started off with the 'dance pe chance' song.
Milind knew that something was bothering her. she looked so sad when he turned to look at her. he wondered if it was due to the problems she had back at her home. he wanted to ask, but stopped himself as he knew that he had no right to pry.
He turned his attention to the movie but found it awfully hard to ignore the mysterious girl beside him. she had told him nothing about her as yet though he had shared some of the major complications in his life such as Ayesha. But she only told him about her craziness about SRK and said very little about her personal life. He knew that they were merely strangers and no one would find it comfortable to share anything. but though with all that, he was dying out of curiosity to find out more about her. he felt her shake to the groovy music seeing her, he smiled as her eyes has lit up and was tapping her fingers on her thigh. Amused by her, Milind didn't even realize when his foot began to tap to the rhythm on its own.
When the song ended, Milind felt her thigh brush his and murmuring a quick sorry, she again turned her attention back to the screen. Milind not understanding what was happening as he had slept most of the time during the first half, nugdged prachi's elbow. She brushed his hands off for a moment but then again he nugdged her and then she turned her head and asked.
"What?!"
"Why is he eating two meals?"
"have you been watching this at all?!" She asked raising a brow and Milind shook his head.
"He love her too much to say no to her" Prachi replied and Milind nodded his head still not understanding what was going on but then again he began to laugh seeing SRK lying on his stomach and groaning with pain. "he is so right, falling in love is a pain"
"Its not" Prachi turned and began to argue.
"it too"
"Its not!"
"Whatever" Milind rolled his eyes and sat back.
Milind's interest for in the movie began to build up with the title song. Much to his surprise, he found himself smiling through out the song and also when the song ended with the confession, he unconsciously held Prachi's hand and squeezed her hands. "its beautiful isn't it?" He heard her ask him.
"yes it is" he felt himself agreeing with her. "wonder if such people really do exists"
"hope there are" came the reply and Milind couldn't help but turn to look at her. it was another thing that he discovered about her that night. She believes in fairytales. She wishes for her prince charming to whisk her off and live happily ever after.
"Ek ladki ko aakhir chahta kya hain?[what does a girl really want?]" SRK has asked. Milind leaned forward thinking of taking some tips out from the movie so that next time he wont make the same mistakes he have been making all this time.
"what a girl really wants is to have a partner who loves her a lot and she would want nothing more" came the reply and Milind sat back on his seat to look at Prachi. she was watching the scene with so much concentration and so much of faith and knew that she agreed on each and every word. he really wondered if it was true. But then again looking at her, he understood that it really was.
As the movie came to an end, he heard a soft sob from beside him and he again turned his head to see her eyes moisten. Groaning, he grabbed a tissue and handed it to her. she gratefully took it and wiped her tears away mouthing him a thank you.
Finally the endless torture for Milind had came to an end. The movie ended and he stretched out his long legs and got up swiftly. He turned to say bye to her but then again she was too immersed in watching the parts which were coming after the movie. He thought that it was the end of their short journey and better to just leave as it wont make any difference to either to him or to her. 'we are just strangers' he reminded himself. 'she would care less' he looked at her once more and then turned his heels to go out of the theater hall. He pushed himself through the huge crowd and popped his head to see her once more just before he existed. He saw her, sitting the way she was. feeling a bit upset that she didn't notice him leave, he turned to leave.
Prachi sighed with content as the movie ended all and the curtains were raised down. "that was a wonderful movie wasn't it?" She turned to ask him but trailed off as she saw his seat empty. She got up and scanned around but there was no sign of him. 'he left, without even saying goodbye' she thought sadly. But then again, she should have expected it as they were only strangers. Taking her bag, she walked out of the theater hall.
The theater, though it was flooded with people was quiet as people made their way out quietly. Outside, it was even more quiet. She wondered how she would get home as she had no idea if she will get a taxi at that time of night. She looked back and forth and then opted to walk as her home wasn't that far.
"thinking of going alone again huh?" Prachi startled as she heard someone say behind her. turning around she saw Milind, leaning on a car with his arms folded across his chest.
"you" Prachi exhaled deeply seeing him again. "I thought you went"
"well I was going to but since you didn't have your pepper spray, I thought of taking you home" he laughed and Prachi blushed with embarrassment.
"its really okay, I live nearby"
"but still I'm walking with you" He said firmly and started to head ahead. He turned as he realized that she wasn't following him. "why are u still waiting there?"
"its this way" Prachi replied pointing at the other direction and Milind laughed and hopped to the other direction. Prachi too laughing, joined to go with him.
Silently side by side, they walked giving each other side glances and when being caught, they would just smile and turn their heads away.
"So how was the movie?" Prachi asked finally breaking the silence.
"its good" Milind replied not wanting to tell her how boring he really found it.
"you didn't seem to enjoy it"
Milind stopped surprised as she had noticed that too. "I know, I wasn't really interested in coming anyway" Milind told her shrugging his shoulders.
"So why did you?"
"because my sister promised me to talk to Ayesha so that she will get off my back" Milind spilt it out and all Prachi could do was laugh.
"you poor thing" Prachi said. "but al least now you know that she wasn't really interested in you, so forget it"
"yeah, I think the sooner the better" Milind replied and Prachi gave him a smile to which his heart skipped a beat. "are you always this easy to talk to?"
"it depends on what kind of person I talk to"
"So what kind of person am i?" Milind asked suddenly sauntering pass her and stopping right in front of her.
"well, for one reason, you saved me"
"I like it" Milind said proudly lifting his collar. "go on"
"and for second you really are scared of your ex" Prachi said with a smug.
"WHAT?!" Milind shouted and Prachi had to hiss him to be quite. "I'm not scared of her" his voice dropped into a firm whisper.
"yeah you are, you should see the way you ducked under the table and also the way you tried to find refuge when she busted into the theater hall"
"I was just trying to'"
"trying to what?"
"forget it"
"See, you really do admit that you are scared" Prachi burst out laughing and Milind glared at her angrily. but seeing her laugh, his lips curved into a smile and he tugged her arm to move on.
Prachi kept giggling through out the way and Milind didn't had the heart to stop her as her laughter was like music to his ears. She watch her as she shivered and he had the sudden urge to put his arms around her but instead, he took off his coat and draped it around her.
"thanks" Prachi said gratefully and looked at him. their gaze locked and held for a moment. prachi was finding it hard to believe that she actually liked the guy. It was shocking how they had met and had developed their relation as acquaintance through out the movie.
"isn't it funny" Prachi asked him suddenly and he looked at her puzzled. "we were just strangers and now we are like'"
"As if we had known each other for so long" Milind finished for her and she began to smile even broadly.
"exactly" Prachi murmured as she again got lost in those deep charcoal eyes.
Milind didn't know exactly what was happening to him. it was like that his conscious weren't with him. he knew that he was attracted to her. it wasn't really her beauty that caught to her at first. It was her inner beauty, the way she makes him feel so homely around her.
"thanks" Milind whispered stepping a bit closer to her.
"for what?"
"For the wonderful night" he replied stepping more close to her. Prachi didn't move and stood still where she was. she found herself being pulled to him like a magnet.
"I should be thanking you instead" Prachi has found herself breathing hard as the smell of his after-shave hit her.
"and why is that?" Milind asked tilting his head to a side like how small kids use to do. Laughing Prachi imitated the way he tilted his head and replied.
"Because'" it was then her cell phone began to beep loudly in her purse. Prachi's face darkened and then digging inside her purse, she fished her mobile out. and with a grunt she switched the phone off and sighed deeply before turning to him again.
"why did you take it?"
"it's not necessary" Prachi replied turning away.
"can I ask you something?" Milind asked a bit hesitant. But he really wanted to know what the deal was.
"don't ask please"
"why not?" Milind asked turning her to him holding her elbow. When he turned her around, he saw her big eyes moistened. 'damn, I made her cry'
"oh I'm so sorry, please don't cry" Milind tried to pacify her seeing her welled up eyes. "here" he says grabbing his handkerchief she gave a wobbly smile and was about to take it when Milind retreated it back. puzzled Prachi looked at him.
"er..sorry, I had wiped off my sweat in it" he gave a sheepish smile and then kept it back in his pocket. Prachi's lips curved further and said. "its okay" and was about to wipe her tears away from her eyes when he shouted. "Don't!"
"My father always say, never let any girl wipe her own tears when you see them cry" He said and then stepped forward offering him his shirt.
"its really okay"
"cant go against my father" he shook his head not wanting to give up. eventually prachi had to give in and she reluctantly stepped forward and was about to wipe her tears away when Milind stopped her again.
"what now?"
"Only eyes, not nose" he warned and laughing, Prachi wiped her away her tears on his sleeves.
"that's better, now will you please tell me what's going on?" Milind asked and Prachi looked down and began to fiddle the handle of her bag nervously. "I know I'm a stranger to you, but sharing will make you feel better, who knows I might be of some help"
"No really nothings wrong" Prachi trailed off as she saw him watch her with a raised brow and she knew that lying to him wont help as he somewhat knows about what was bothering her anyway. "its just, my parents don't get along well with each other and I dont like it" she finally spilt it out. though it wasn't the entire truth, her one sentence has pretty much everything that explained her situation.
"bas itni si baath?"
"itni si baath?" Prachi asked shocked. "its not a small as it sounds"
"I know, but you know, you shouldn't let their differences influence your life, from what I sense, they try hard not to interfere you in their differences and you should respect that instead of being harsh on them in return"
"but you don't know how much I hate it when they argue"
"have you ever tried talking to them about it?"
"No" Prachi replied shaking her head in negative.
"see, you don't tell them what's in your heart so how are they to know what you feel?"
"its not simple" says Prachi turning away.
"I know, but still, heed me and talk to them, you will feel better and who knows maybe they might think about sorting out their differences soon" Milind smiled broadly making her turn to face him.
Prachi looked up at him and was amazed how well he had understood her. he have given a solution of her 20 year old problem in just twenty seconds. Something even she haven't thought about for so long. Well she has but always hesitated that things might get worsen if she butt in. 'he is right, mom and dad never talks about their own problems in front of me, it does shows that they do care about me. I have to talk to them soon" Prachi thought.
"hellooo" Milind called out waving a hand in front of her face.
"nothing, its late I should be going home"
"I'll walk you there"
They walked to a distance again in silence when all of a sudden Milind stopped and asked. "how do you know Sukriti?"
"well, you don't know? she is my brothers girlfriend!"
"Your what?!" Milind asked shocked.
" my brothers girlfriend" Prachi repeated rolling her eyes. "what you never knew?"
"NO!!"
"I don't think she told many about it as her brother is one hell of a Hitler"
"excuse me?" Milind cocked a brow.
"yeah you heard me right, she always tell me about him and I find him so arrogant and mean"
"how can you say such a thing?" Milind asked shocked. it still didn't occurred to him that she really didn't know that sukriti's Hitler brother she was referring to was standing in front of her.
"I don't know I just sense he is" Prachi shrugged and then asked. "why are you asking so many questions? You are her friend too aren't you?"
"Yes and No!"
"what do you mean?" Prachi asked confused and smiling, Milind stepped closer to her and whispered.
"I AM Sukriti's Hitler brother" and with that, he turned and walked past her leaving her mouth hung open with shock.
Milind knew that she would be standing there shocked and numb as he had dropped the bomb about him being her friends brother. Sure never in her wildest dream she would have thought that she will be meeting him of all the people. Turning around, he saw her standing there exactly on the same spot where he had left her just a moment ago. Her eyes were like as if it will fall out any moment. laughing at the sight of her, he thought. 'she looks so cute'
"breath" he teased and Prachi all could do was let out a gasp. "good, now come along, its getting very late"
Prachi shook her head and hopped to his side and tried to talk but all she could let out was breathless air. She coughed lightly and then turned to him whose shoulder was shaking lightly and she knew that he would burst out laughing any moment.
and with that, Milind burst out laughing and Prachi had to roll her eyes as her prediction has come true.
"really had no idea that it would be you or else I would have buttered you none-stop" Prachi tried explaining but ended up getting embarrassed even more. never in her wildest dreams she thought that she would be in a situation like that.
"no I think its for the best, or else I would have never known about my sisters secret love affair"
"Alaap is not bad, he loves her a lot"
"everyone will say nice things about their own brother" Milind said and then added. "except for one" he said hinting at sukriti.
"three things" Prachi stood infront of him. his manly attitude was making her blood boil with anger. True that he loves her sister but why is he being so blind and not even trusting his own sisters choice? "one, Alaap and Sukriti truly loves each other, two Alaap is actually Ayesha's brother not mine and three your sisters' not a kid anymore so stop playing her bodyguard" her eyes blazed as she said so and Milind couldn't help but admire the sparkling hazel eyes.
"Even Neev is my brother" Milind said unconsciously and all of a sudden Prachi felt the rush of color rising her skin like a tsunami. 'oh my god! this is a day for me to get embarrassed. I need to crawl into a hole' prachi thought. 'but what was that? where did Neev come in Alaap-Sukriti love story?' why is the whole Mishra family so weird? Except for Sukriti all the men in the family seem like as if they have come from out of space.
Milind watched her and slowly it drawn to him on what he has just said. he knew that she will now think that he was a total weirdo. 'ok so I admit, I am one' he thought. 'I was too busy wondering how she sparked those eyes to answer back to her' thinking that he had made enough of a fool out of himself, he thought of making up. so taking a deep breath, he turned to her.
"I know Sukriti is not a kid and neither I treat her like one but still she is my responsibility and I have to see that she don't take a wrong step"
Prachi was touched with the way he has conveyed his brotherly feelings for his sister. The embarrassment she was subjected to earlier was now replaced by total sympathy and understanding. she have always heard from Sukriti and Neev that their brother have always restricted them to do something and she has assumed him as an arrogant and over-protective brother who doesn't like his siblings to have any freedom. But now she knew why he was that way. He just love them too much. it was as simple as that. Prachi was about to say something when she realized that her house has come into view and sighing, she said. "my house is here"
Milind glanced towards the dark house and his face fell as he realized that their short incidental date was almost over. they halted near the gate and Prachi turned to face him. he glanced at her house once more before saying. "so, I guess that's it for tonight" he turned to look down at her and then added. "really had a great time tonight"
"Me too" Prachi whispered. Smiling, Milind took two steps back and then turned. Prachi too turned to go in when they both felt as if something was missing. Milind raked a hand on his hair and then turned around which was at the same time Prachi too had turned around.
"By the way, I'm Prachi'
"I'm Milind"
They said at the same time and then burst out laughing. Prachi stepped down from the porch and walked up to him. Milind too smiling broadly walked up to her. they were like two people who doesn't want the night to end.
"really cant believe we have been so near and yet we didn't know each other" Milind said and Prachi nodded. It was weird how destiny had brought them together in the theater hall and ended up being the closest people of people who were common to them.
Looking at her for a moment Milind smiled and asked. "introduction?"
At the suggestion, Prachi's smile grew wider and then held out her hands for him. "Hi, I'm Prachi Shah and hate it when they call me honeybunch and coochi-poo"
"will definitely remember that and I'm Milind Mishra" Milind replied laughing shaking her hands and then added. "love saving girls from goons who don't carry their pepper spray"
After sharing a hearty laugh, they turned again to return to their own world, they began to smile inside as the moments they spent with each other were like no other. they stood looking at each other unaware of the fact that they were still holding their hands. a car swift past down the road breaking the spell and both came back to reality. Quickly they retreated their hands and stood there still wanting to say something more.
Milind wanted her. in her heart that he knew that she was the one. but still he wanted to know more about her. thinking that it was stupid to ask her for another date, he thought of leaving and talk to Sukriti to fix him another meeting with her friend. 'damn, I have to butter her' Milind thought disappointed. It wasn't easy to ask anything from Sukriti as she will always ask something in return. And he wasn't that generous to give anything for her. besides he doesn't want anyone to know that he was desperate. 'am I being desperate?' Milind thought once again and glanced at Prachi who still stood their silently her eyes downcast playing with the handle of her bag. And seeing the faint blush in her cheek, he knew that he was. he thought that it was better to ask him herself than from a third person? So he had to grab all the courage he had in him to ask.
"would you like to go for a movie with me sometime?" he rubbed his neck as he never felt so nervous about anything before.
Prachi glanced up surprised. then saw his eyes that were almost pleading to say yes. "sure, which movie?"
'oh crap! I didn't think about that' Milind thought. he wanted to ask for a coffee but god knows where the idea of taking her to a movie came from. He began to think quickly then thought about the conversation he had with Sukriti days back. thinking that it was the best movie for her to take, he said. "Dilwale Dulhainya lejaeynge"
"OH MY GOD!" Prachi exclaimed almost jumping with joy. "are you serious? I have always wanted to see that movie on big screen but which theater shows a movie which has been played long time back?"
"Sukrtiti told me that there is a theater which screens the movie everyday, and she said she had bought tickets too but I don't think that she will able to go with her exams coming up"
"OH MY GOD! are you so damn serious?" Prachi asked still unable to keep her excitement at bay.
"yeah, so wanna come?"
"are you crazy?" Prachi asked and Milind startled in surprised. sure he haven't expected that as an answer. "OFCOURSE I WILL"
"great, so I'll come and pick you up here by seven"
"cant wait" Prachi tiptoed and gave him a quick peck on his cheeks before dashing inside her house and closing the door.
"me too" Milind murmured to himself and touched his cheeks where she had kissed him. he knew that his life was going to change from this point onwards as now, his life has her, Prachi. his heart swelled with joy as he turned his heels and began to hum ' "hum hain raahi pyaar ke phir milenge chate chalte"
Prachi drew her curtains from the side window near the window and smiled as she saw him walk away humming the song she was so familiar of. She laughed softly as he jumped and hopped like a teenager in love. she still held his jacket and thinking that it was too late to call him and give him back, she decided to give it back to him the next day.
She watched him till she saw him turn round the corner and disappeared into the night. Smiling as she went up to bed as she wanted the night to end soon so that she could look forward for the next day which she could hardly wait. She was more excited to see him again than seeing her favorite movie. Smiling as she recalled the days event, she turned on her itouch and closed her eyes as soft melodic song began to play. She sighed deeply blushing all the more as she began to think more of Milind. "Rab Ne Banadi Jodi" she sang along with the lines as she knew that it was truly destiny that had led them to meet. Smiling even more, she drifted off to sleep awaiting a new day which she knew will be different than the others as it will have Milind.
