A SongIt was Friday night, after completing her work, Nisha started thinking about the next evening .... it was the Fresher's Ball .... Grace had arranged an evening gown and all the necessary things for Nisha ..... every night before going to sleep, Nisha would thank god for giving her a friend like Grace .....
Slowly, she fell asleep .... and yet again saw Vivaan in her dream, but this time it was different ....
He slowly pulled her near ... his hands locked around her waist perfectly as if they were meant to be there .... her hands on his chest .... she was shying and looking down as he intently gazed into her eyes ... both of them had a beautiful smile on their face ....Next day with the sunshine falling over her eyes, she noticed she had tears in her eyes ..... maybe she cried all night due to her dream which of course would never come true .......
She went to freshen up and wore a single strip white crushed crape dress of knee-length ..... her hair open and falling over her shoulders ......
She went out to breathe a fresh new day, today they had an off as people including Grace were preparing for the ball ..... Nisha took with her a book she loved ....
The Last Song Of Dusk, this was a gift from Benji on her 16th birthday .... she always loved this book as it could make her cry as she could feel the emotions of
Anuradha and Vardhmaan their love, their loss .... everything .... she sat on the bench near the graveyard ... as it was peaceful though it was a graveyard and the forest opened there but she started loving this area and spent her lonely time there .....
As she was reading, she felt her heartbeats increasing and she now knew that Vivaan was somewhere near .... suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder ... she turned to look behind, but to her regret it wasn't Vivaan but Adam was there ....
Adam (huskily) - Nisha ....
Nisha (uncomfortably) - Hmm ...
Adam (concerned) - Why are you sitting alone?
Before she could answer he sat there beside her ......
Nisha - I was just reading my favorite novel ....
Adam - Which is it?
He took the book from her hand slowly, rubbing his fingers with hers .... she folded her fingers ....
Adam (little jealous) - Who is Benji?
Nisha (couldn't understand his tone) - He is my friend ....
Adam slowly kept his hand on her fist .....
Adam - Nisha, i know you miss your friends .... but i promise i'll always be there with you, for you. Don't be sad ... i can't tolerate it when you are sad .... (pressing her hand) please smile for me ....
Nisha smiled at his friendliness ... he was so soft-spoken and so sweet with her ..... her thoughts automatically wandered to Vivaan, who neither was her friend nor he was sweet or soft-spoken ... at least with her ..... but still she loved him and with this ... she quickly removed her hand from beneath Adam's ..... they talked for a while .... Adam would either touch her hand or her cheek while talking to her .... she thought that some people have this habit ...... her eyes suddenly went to a figure standing a little far from them ..... it was Vivaan with a guy ....
She couldn't remove her eyes from him, he with his eyes, ordered her to move from there and go away from Adam .....
Nisha (thinking) - It's my hallucination or Vivaan just told me to stay away from Adam ... but why would he do this ....
But she obeyed him ...
Nisha - Adam, i need to complete my notes, so see you later .....
Adam - Okay, in the evening ...
Nisha - Yup ....
He slowly bend and gave a her a soft hug .... Nisha didn't like it and when she flicked her eyes to Vivaan, surprisingly he wasn't there anymore ......
Nisha (thinking) - It was a hallucination ......... huh .... he won't give a damn with whom she stays or talks .....
Nisha went inside his room ..... and started reading her book again but couldn't concentrate as Vivaan's image kept coming in front of her .....
It was 6:00 PM ... she wanted to have some water, but unfortunately her jug was empty ...
Nisha - Uhh ... hamesha, hamesha hi main unlucky hoti hun .... kyun bhagwaan? Maine kaunsa paap kar diya?
She cursed her luck and started moving towards the water tank kept for everyone to fill their jugs when she heard and saw what she never wished to .....
Sara and Vivaan were holding each other's hand .....
Sara - Trust me Vivaan .....
Vivaan - I trust you ... that is why i share everything with you ....
Sara (laughing) - You will never get a better listener than me or i should say a better girl than me .. huh?
Vivaan smiled and nodded ...
Sara - Okay, i need to go and please Vivaan ...
Vivaan (smiling) - I will but you know ..... i can only tell this to you ......
Sara - I know ...
She gave him a peck on his cheek and left .....
Nisha felt like a dagger just pierced her heart ..... she felt a lump in her throat ..... she ran back to her room .......
Nisha - Vivaan ... aur Sara ...... aur main kya kya soch rahi thi ......
She cried her heart till 7:00 PM and then got up to get ready ... she couldn't ditch Grace so what if she would feel out of place ..... she went and freshened; had a shower to cool her mind and then got ready ....... she alone walked to the party hall, Grace had told her that she would meet her there .... it was 8:30 PM ....
As she reached the hall, all eyes flicked towards her .... everyone was staring at her in awe ..... she wore a ruffled black silk ball gown (bare shoulders) that hugged her body to her waist before billowing out in wide black tiers ... black lace-up wristlets encased her hands, leaving her white fingers bare and a black flood of hair that fell in thick waves to her waist .... she wore a shy smile on her face with no make-up just a transparent lip-gloss .....
She slowly walked inside with her eyes on the ground, she had no courage to look people staring at her .... Grace walked up to her in a white fish-cut gown ...
Grace - Hey Nisha! You look beautiful ...
Nisha - Thanks ... same with you ....
Grace - So, do you like the party?
Grace's eyes were set on her face .... Nisha was sure she could read her expressions ....
Nisha - Beautiful, just like you .... ahm ... but why is everyone staring at me?
Grace smiled at her innocence ... Grace knew that Nisha had no idea of how beautiful she is .... Grace kept her hand on Nisha's shoulder ....
Grace - Because, someone is looking like the epitome beauty and trust me it's not a hyperbole ...
Nisha blushed ... her cheeks turning pink and making her look even more beautiful ... Adam entered the scene in a white three-piece suit with a black tie ...
Adam (gazing at Nisha) - Grace, it's so beautiful .... truly looks magical .....
Nisha knew what or about whom Adam was talking ... he was a friend but today his behavior was getting her goosebumps .....
Clare - Adam, come na .....
Clare pulled Adam with her while Grace and Nisha stood there talking when Sam entered the scene ... in a white two-piece suit with a white shirt a black tie ....he looked really handsome ...
Grace - Someone's looking like a gentleman today ....
Sam - Someone's looking sexy today ....
Grace rolled her eyes ....
Sam - Nisha, you look like a princess today .... totally out of the world ....
Nisha - Thanks Sam, you too look handsome ... excuse me i'll just go and have water .....
She went to have water when she noticed who was standing near her .... it was none other than Vivaan... he was wearing a black pant, white shirt and a black tie with waist-jacket which embraced his muscular body .....
Vivaan - Hi ....
Nisha (scared) - Hi ....
Vivaan - Don't worry, bahut elegant lag rahi ho .....
Nisha couldn't believe her ears and shot her eyes on him ... he took the glass and air toasted to her and went away ......
Nisha (thinking) - Isne such mein aisa kaha?
The party was on ... and everybody was enjoying it except Nisha who felt lonely amongst the crowd ... Grace was the host of the party ......
Grace - Okay guys ... now something special is coming .... the best looking man and the best looking girl are going to be selected and then they will be dancing to a beautiful romantic number ... so everyone ready!?
Everyone screamed yes!!! the hall went black ... and suddenly two spot lights started moving in the hall .... and finally stopped on ..... Vivaan and Nisha ....
Nisha was hell scared while Vivaan was really casual about it .... everyone applauded for them ... Vivaan slowly walked towards Nisha who was feeling very shy and nervous ... Vivaan forwarded his hand towards her ....
Vivaan - May I?
She smiled and slowly gave her hand in his ... she felt as if time just stopped and everything was a painting which would never change ...
He held her hand delicately and took her with him to the dance floor .... everyone applauded as they stepped on the dance floor .... even though Nisha knew that Vivaan could never be hers but still she wanted to live this moment when they dance together maybe for the first and the last time .....
The music begins ... they both stood a bit far from each other ... Nisha was feeling nervous ... she held her wrist with her hand and was looking down ... when suddenly in a fraction of a second Vivaan pulled her near him by holding her wrist and softly kept his hand on her waist ...
It's the things that you do So physical he whispered to her to look into his eyes ... she slowly lifted her eye lashes and looked straight into his deep eyes ...
It's the things that you say So flammable he twirled her away and then again in a circular motion pulled her near .... she couldn't stop her heart from skipping beats ...
You know I can't resist, boy it's such a shame she remembered Sara ... as he wrapped his hands around her while her back touched his chest and both swayed to the music
That you belong to another he twisted her while she bent behind .... his hand around her waist and the other hand clasped with hers while her on his shoulder ...
I don't wanna hurt nobody he pulled her up in a jerk and both stared in each other's eyes
But my heart just can't hold back he swirled her and again pulled her near ...
Its' the way you make me feel he held her from her waist and pulled her close
The way that you make feel he was now swirling her as she held his finger ...
Spinning my world around she moved away while he was holding her hand ... her heartbeats increased ... he pulled her ... she was totally depended on him as their shoulders touched while they stood in a slanting manner with his hand on her waist and hers around his shoulder, she kept looking at him
Tell me, how can i walk away and he brought her in his arms .. her hands around his neck and his around her waist ...
I don't care what they say ... she simply looked in his eyes with love in hers
I'm loving you anyway he pulled her back and and held her hand in his, her hand on his shoulder and his on her waist as both rocked to the music
It's the way you make me feel (music) both clasped their hands and bend behind and then as she moved her left foot towards him, he would move behind his left one .... and their hands moved in the same manner .... both stretched their right arms and moved in a semi-circle without removing their eyes from each other's face and again moved anti-clockwise holding the same motion ...
(music ends) he folded her arms behind her head, she bent behind ... their faces so close ... she could feel his warm breath on her
I'm gonna make you mine It's not impossible both stood near each other, their opposite hands clasped ...as he started bending towards her side so she could bend diagonally
Got to let you know a strand of hair came on her face, he blew it away
I am irresistible he swirled her again and would alternately pull her near
Baby, can't you see, you're the one for me he bend her again and touched her neck with his lips
But you belong to another he twisted and lifted her in his arms, her back touching his chest, her feet in the air as her head rested on his shoulder and both moved in a circle
I don't wanna hurt nobody he put her down, she started moving ahead but he pulled her back and wrapped his hands around her
But my heart just can't hold back she looked towards him when he held her waist and lifted her in the air ... she closed her eyes snapping this moment in her mind
It's the way you make me feel The way that you make me feel Spinning my world around, Tell me how can I walk away, I don't care what they say, I'm loving you anyway, It's the way you make me feel he twisted her in the air, his one hand holding her from her stomach while other holding her stretched leg ... her hand on his face as both swirled to the music
Make me feel, make me feel Ooh make me feel, make me feel he slowly put her down, making her face him ... his hands pulled her closer from her waist, their foreheads touched each other, her hands around his neck ... both stared in each other's eyes ... as the music slowed down .... both just swayed in each other's arms
When I look into your eyes, Every time you smile at me she slowly looked down, unable to meet his eyes
Oh, I go weak inside, Baby i just can't hide, My lo.....ve he twirled her as the music rose and again pulled her near in a circular motion and again twirled her to the opposite direction
It's the way you make me feel The way that you make me feel and swirled her as she held his finger and he held her other hand
Spinning my world around he pulled her near in a jerk and intently looked in her eyes
Tell me how can i walk away, I don't care what they say, I'm loving you anywayAnyway and slowly she bent in his arm and he still kept looking in her eyes as they stood for the final pose
It's the way ... you make me ... feel Everyone applauded as the lights came back .... and the hall was once again glowing .... Nisha was flushed and was looking down when Vivaan clasped her hand and bowed ...
Later in the party, Nisha couldn't remove her eyes from him and coincidently wherever she stood, he was somewhere near by .... Grace walked towards her ....
Grace - You danced lovely, Nisha ...
Nisha (softly) - Thanks ....
Grace - You love him, don't you?
Nisha (shocked; stammered) - Uhm ... how ... do you .... know?
Grace - It's in your eyes .....
Nisha - Oh my god ....
Grace - Don't worry, i will help you in winning his love ... already i can see that he cares for you ...
Nisha - No, Grace .... he likes Sara and she also reciprocates the same feeling .... it's just one-sided love ...
Grace - I don't think so that Sara likes him .... look ...
She pointed somewhere, Nisha followed it and saw Sara closely dancing with Ronald also a team member of football ... Nisha was shocked ......
