" muskaan.." he began but she moved away from him.
" i will make u confess muskaan chadda!" he smirked.
__________________________________________________________
The whole car ride back home Rahul kept stealing glaces at Muskaan, but she just kept staring out the window completely ignoring Rahul.
As soon as they got home Muskaan got out of the car, slamming the door she rushed away.
Leaving against the car Rahul looks at her retreating figure "Bohat pyar karti hai" he says smiling to himself. "Par bohat ziddi bhi hai."
Reaching her room Muskaan falls onto the bed not able to keep a check on her tears anymore.
"Rahul tumne aisa kyu kiya?!? Why did I start falling for you? Kyu kyu kyu?!?!"
Crying her heart out Muskaan falls asleep in the same position.
Later on in the evening:
"Hey guys, we should go do something today, all together" says Armaan walking into the living room where everyone excluding Muskaan were sitting talking to each ohter.
"Yes! Kaha chale?" asks Anjie standing up.
"Shopping?" Riddhima suggests.
"Nahiiiii yaar shopping ke alawa kuch aur karte hai na" Armaan whines.
"Nahi, shopping hi chalte hai pehle, uske baad kuch aur karenge" Anjie says.
"Ok ok fine, let's go"
As everyone is getting up to go "Guys Muskaan kaha hai?" Rahul asks looking around for her, he hasn't seen her ever since they got home.
"Pata nahi, subah tum dono gaye the na, uske baad usse nahi dekha" Riddhima answers, "Main jaake uske room main dekhti hoon."
Walking into Muskaan's room Riddhima sees Muskaan walking out of the restroom.
"Muskaan hum sab bahar shopping jaa rahe hai, jaldi se niche aajao"
"Nahi Riddhima, I don't feel well.. you all go"
"Kya hua Muskaan?" Looking at Muskaan Riddhima sees that Muskaan indeed doesn't look well. Her face was pale and her eyes red.
"Woh kuch zyaada nahi, bas tired" Muskaan says getting into bed.
"Ok toh main un logon ko kehdeti hoon ke woh log chale jaye, main reh jaungi" Riddhima says heading for the door.
"Nahi Riddhima, tum bhi jao. Anyways main so jaungi, toh I will be fine"
"Nahi Musk.."
"It's ok Ridzi, I will just sleep yaar, tum jao na"
"Sure?"
"Haan baba sure, have fun! byee"
"Ok main jaa rahi hoon, and you stay in bed, kuch chahiye toh kaka ko bulalena"
"Haan kuch chahiye toh bulalungi"
"Ok byee. Rest karo!"
As the room shuts behind Riddhima Muskaan falls back onto the bed sobbing yet again.
"Muskaan kaha hai?" Rahul asks seeing Riddhima come down the stairs unaccompanied.
"Uski tabiyat kuch kharab hai, she is sleeping"
Rahul immeditately feels guilty, he knows exactly why Muskaan wasn't "feeling well".
"TOh hum sab chale?" Armaan asks geturing towards the door.
"Haan chalo"
"Rahul chalo" Atul says seeing Rahul not moving.
"huh?"
"Chalooo kaha kho gaye?"
"Oh guys woh main kaafi thak gaya hoon, subah bahar gaya tha na, tum log chale jao" Rahul says trying to get out of the plan.
Sensing something Armaan raises his eyes gesturing to Rahul asking what's up?
Rahul just blinks his eyes saying later.
"Ok chalo guys" Armaan says heading out the door.
As soon as the guys leave Rahul dashing upstairs, coming to a stop outside Muskaan's door.
Knocking on the door Rahul waits for some response.
Not hearing anything he put his ear to the door to hear for any moment within the room, not hearing anything he slowly turns the door knob walking into the room.
Watching Muskaan sleeping looking like an angel Rahul can't help but fall in love all over again.
Seeing Muskaan wrikling her nose, Rahul notices that a strand of hair has fallen over her face.
Walking closer Rahul sits on the bed next to Muskaan.
As he slowly puts the strand of hair behind her ear, Rahul sees the dry remanants of tears on her face.
Rahul feels a tug at his heart seeing how much pain her put her through.
Muskaan slowly opens her eyes feeling a strong gaze on her, as she looks up she sees Rahul looking down at her.
Smiling Muskaan whispers "Raaahuul.." and closes her eyes again.
Realising what she just saw Muskaan shoots open her eyes again, looking around she can't find Rahul.
"Yeh mujhe kya hogaya, pehle sapno main dikhayi deta hai, ab toh uthke bhi wohi dikh raha hai mujhe." Muskaan says walking out of her room.
Rahul who was hiding behind the curtain smiles hearing this.
Muskaan reaches the kitchen feeling hungry as she hasn't eaten anything since breakfast.
Seeing waffles in the freezer Muskaan takes out two, popping them in the toaster she goes back to the fridge to get some milk.
Rahul walks downstairs to make sure Muskaan was in the house, seeing her in the kitchen he walks in.
Mixing chocolate syrup Muskaan takes a sip of her chocolate milk, "Yum!" she says putting the cup down on the counter.
Turning around she finds herself face to face with Rahul.
"Raaahul, tum?!?" she asks with her eyes widened.
Before Rahul has a chance to speak Muskaan continues "Nahi nahi, phirse sapna hoga".
Saying so Muskaan turns around to get back to what she was doing, but feeling a tug on her arm she looks back.
Seeing Rahul holding her wrist Muskaan looks from his hand to his face "Tum sach ho??!?"
Pulling her close to himself Rahul whispers "Chooh ke dekh lo"
Muskaan looks down feeling her breath start soaring due to their proximity.
"Ra.. Rahul chodo mujhe" Muskaan whispers with her eyes closed.
"Tumhe kisne pakad ke rakha hai?"
"Kya?" Muskaan looks down to see that Rahul wasn't even holding her.
"Umm.. sor.." Muskaan starts off.
Rahul starts walking towards her gazing as her.
"Raa..hul kya kar rahe ho" Muskaan manages to whisper walking backwards.
As Muskaan hits the counter, she tries to escape from the side, only to see Rahul hands come down on both sides.
"Yeh kya mazak hai, jaane do mujhe" Muskaan says trying to sound more demanding.
Ignoring Muskaan's requests Rahul keeps looking at her coming closer to her face.
"Rahul!! jao ya.."
Rahul puts a finger on her lips to get her to be quiet. Feeling her lips trembling under her finger Rahul looks deep into her eyes.
Muskaan closes her eyes, not able to look into his eyes without losing herself.
Seeing her trembling, Rahul softly carresses her cheek.
"Muskaan.."
Cupping her face in his hands Rahul continues "Muskaan mujhe dekho.."
Not getting any response Rahul moves his thumbs over to her quivering lips, softly outlining them with his thumb.
Muskaan gasps feeling his touch on her lips, he is so close to her at this point she can feel his warm breath on her face, causing havoc on her.
"Raahuuul..." Muskaan manages to whispers barely able to breath.
Rahul moves his face forward placing a passionate kiss on her cheek, letting his lips linger on her cheek a little longer.
"Raaahul.. I... I"
Moving over to her other cheek Rahul places a kiss there.
"I.... lo.. ve"
CUpping her face Rahul looks at her.
"love.. you"
Rahul smiles finally hearing her confession.
Feeling Rahul's lips on her forehead Muskaan jerks up and starts walking away.
Grabbing a hold of her wrist Rahul pulls her back "kaha jaa rahi ho? mujhe bhi kuch kehna hai"
Pulling Rahul's hand off her wrist Muskaan says "Sorry about that, I know tumhe kya kehna hai, but I'm not interested in hearing. Just forget what I said." saying so Muskaan walks out of the kitchen.
Looking at her go Rahul whispers to himself "Muskaan how can I ever forget what you just said.. I love you too, and I will make sure you hear that."
