-16- Just You & Me
"I am done, I am going to take a shower" says Panchi stretching her arms lazily
Danish follows her" hey where are you going?" says Misha looking at him suspiciously, raising her eyebrows
"To my room, any objections miss Misha" says Danish smirking
" hmm don't you dare go with Birdie i am watching you two, no hanky panky before marriage"
"shut up Misha, you have to watch your vocabulary, seriously where do you get theses words from?" says Panchi
Misha giggles and then points to her eyes with two fingers and then to Danish" I will be watching" Danish laughs Piya laughs watching them
"Hey aren't you guys going Jet skiing with us later" says Misha in hyped voice
"we will see" they say as they walk
"Piya come to the pool yaar, let me teach you how to swim" says Kabir as he gets out of the pool all dripping, he holds Piya's hand pulling her.
"Wait Kabir" she says nervously, Kabir jumps again in the pool and waits for her near the edge
"Woo! come on Piya" Misha and Ruhi cheer for her clapping
She takes off her short feeling nervous now and unconsciously she looks towards Abhay's direction he was sitting now busy talking on the phone and wasn't looking at her, Kabir notices that and he gets annoyed
Misha and Ruhi whistle and then both giggle Piya becomes more nervous "Misha, Ruhi shhh!" Piya says
"Stop it you two! You girls are making her more nervous" says Kabir
She climbs down the small pool ladder and chuckles as she feels the water, Kabir smiles as he holds her hands leading her to the middle "no Kabir! I will drown", she says scared now
"Don't worry babes, I won't let go of you" says Kabir and winks
Meanwhile Abhay was talking on his mobile while his eyes that were covered under the dark shades, were watching Piya like a hawk, he hangs up , then he gets another call
"hi lover boy" says Tina in her husky voice
"hi Tina"
"so you are in Goa now"
"yes I have arrived an hour ago"
"let me guess! now you are beside the pool, or maybe beach side, feasting your eyes with Piya's sexy body, so tell me how does she look in a skimpy bikini?", she laughs
He chuckles: "I don't know I haven't noticed, beside she is not wearing a bikini" he softly laughs
"gosh! poor you! I bet she looks very skinny!" she laughs again
"Tina enough! and tell me now, are you are sure about what you have said?"
"Aww! You are shying now, ok kido I will stop now, and hey I am pretty sure about what I told you"
Abhay gets distracted by Piya and Kabir's sight, as he was holding her, trying to make her body float in a certain way and it was clear that she wasn't feeling comfortable from his closeness, so she backs off!, thus she goes down the water, Kabir quickly grabs her pulling her up and then helps her get near the edge again, she holds the edge while she coughs continuously because she got panicked and swallowed a little water
"Are you ok?" says Kabir in a concerned tune she nodes
"Piya you have let go of your self, other wise you will never learn" says Kabir, she shakes her head and tells him that she had enough and wants to get out the pool
"oye Piya why don't you try the kiddy pool, that will suit you more, its not that deep" says Misha giggling while pointing to the kiddy pool that was located nearby
"you are a meany Misha do you know that" says Piya shaking her head
"Thank you, I know" and then she laughs splashing water over Piya.
Piya giggles: "I am such a loser" then sighs in a disappointed tune : "I don't think I will ever learn how to swim!"
"No babes you can, but you are too scared" says Kabir, she smiles nervously she wasn't comfortable being near Kabir nowadays, ever since he told her how he felt about her! She doesn't want to give him any false hopes knowing that he has feelings for her!
"Tina I will call you back" says Abhay now feeling an outrage of anger
"what happened? Why are you upset?" says Tina
"nothing I just need to do something " he says
"fine, I just wanted to tell you be extra careful ok, and call me" says Tina
Then he jumps into the pool and swims back and forth trying to get rid of his anger! His mind was troubled, I have to let go of you, I want you to move on, and never think about me, yet I feel so angry when I see you with someone else that I want to smash his face! I have to control my feelings, but it's killing me!
After taking many laps none stop like a pro ,while everyone was looking at him although he tried to swim in normal speed, he gets out the pool breathless he looks at her direction, she looks at him nervously then looks away, he feels a lump in his throat, he swallows,I know that my coming here has troubled you! But I had to come, he thought
Later in the evening Piya enjoyed the Jet Ski to the most, it was something she wanted to try for so long, and she was screaming with joy like a little girl as she raced with Misha and Kabir, she was wearing a life vest just in case she falls!
Abhay was there too, he was sitting on the beach sand and he was talking with Panchi and Danish who were seated next to him, and he actually was smiling, she looks at him and thought he looks so different and thank God that those two at least liked him!
She notices that Abhay was looking at her and she ignores him as she speeds up, she felt so free and thought she could do this forever! Then they start to play beach volley ball their whole day passes in fun soon after dinner everyone were way too pooped out to stay late, so they all headed to their own rooms to get some sleep
Piya was too excited to fall asleep, she was looking at the sea from the balcony and then she looks at Misha and Panchi, who were fast asleep, she had an urge to wake Misha up, but she didn't have the heart, as she was sound asleep and she was snoring softly as a sign of her exhaustion, Piya smiles, Misha was the first to doze off as soon as she crashed on the bed, while Panchi nagged about how could she sleep without taking a shower or brushing her teeth, Misha was too exhausted and who wouldn't after all the swimming and masti she did!
She inhales deeply as she smells the fresh sea breeze and she start to have this urge to walk to the beach, or get her self wet with the salted sea water, but then she looks at the Swimming pool and starts to feel sorry for her self, for missing all the fun, just because she couldn't swim, everybody was having a blast and they all are such good and fast swimmers, and then she remembers how Abhay swam fast like a pro!
She sighs, he looks so different in summer attire, and then she recalls what Misha has said earlier about him being here because of her! Then she remembers all the times that he has saved her, how was it possible that he showed up out of nowhere just to rescue her! And that night at the club how come he was the one again to be there for her, when she was alone and vulnerable
they are all coincidences he had told her the other day! But everything doesn't make sense Abhay! Not again Piya not again, you are trying to see more in things, she reminds her self agitated now "you always manage to invade my thoughts and spoil my fun Abhay Raichand, one way or another" she sighs deeply, she looks at the pool again and suddenly she has this crazy idea! so she changes her Pajamas, and then goes out the room trying not to make any noise!
Soon she was near the pool, It was strange how the pool side looked so calm and peaceful at nights, it looked even more beautiful in the gleam lights that decorated it surroundings, there were hidden spot lights that were shading some light on the palm trees that were surrounding it, and strangely there was this soft music floating in the air, that she couldn't figure out where it was coming from, the pool lights were still lit, making the water look more tempting, and it felt warm when she dips her hand inside it, though the sea breeze was a bit cold, she looks around, the place looked deserted she could see guest moving far away but no one was around the pool area.
She removes her pants and heads for the kiddy pool the one that isn't deep, she remembers Misha's cynical remark and she smiles as she gets inside the pool, it wasn't that deep the water was up to her waist, she dips her head inside the water making her long curls wet, she chuckles as she feels the water on her face
She tries to remember what Kabir has taught her about swimming
"here it goes!" she spreads her arms and then tries to bend her legs and spread them and she goes down, she lowers her legs standing now, she sighs and tries again but as she goes down she panics and she gasps and swallows some water she stands up abruptly coughing her curls flying backward
"Enjoying your time?!"
She gasps in horror and turns around to see Abhay standing near the pool, he had this mischievous smile on his face and he was looking at her, wearing a sky blue T shirt and a beige short!
"Abhay you have scared the hell out of me!", she says in a weak trembling voice trying to catch her breath, her trembling hand on her chest, her heart beating fast:" don't you know it's wrong to sneak behind peoples back"
He raises his eye brow and says:" sorry!, so Piya Jaiswal, what are you doing?"
"Cooking dal chawal, what do you think?" she retaliates sarcastically looking at him, annoyed by his presence, what the hell! Why do I have to see you, when I am trying so hard to ignore you! And why you have to look so good! She thought with a frown
He chuckles in amusement:" no seriously! What are you doing?", he was teasing her now, his eyes were playful, God his deep dimples! She gulps! She tucks her self inside the water, bending her knees in the pool, so only her head sticks out of the water, and says: "it's none of your business"
He shakes his head and while still looking at her he pulls his T shirt above his head, baring his well built masculine body
"What are you doing?!" she gulps again
"Cooking dal chawal! Of course! What do you think?" he smirks and then says: "Don't worry I won't join you in your kiddy pool" he chuckles and then jumps to the other pool she gets annoyed to bits!
Just her luck!, he comes barging in fancying to take a dip in the pool at the night, how convenient! She thought as she watches him taking lap over lap. He is very good she thought! Now feeling that she can't even concentrate, she decides that she better leave, so she gets out of the pool and looks at Abhay, who was now swimming at the other end of the pool and she grabs her pant
"Don't give up so soon!" says he, standing behind her, she turns around surprised, how could he get out the pool so soon, a moment ago he was at the other end of it "how did you?" she says puzzled
"Did I what?" he calmly says
"Get off the pool so fast! You were there" she points to the other end of the large pool he shakes his head: "I am fast, so you are just giving up! You are too scared Piya"
She looks at him puzzled and says:" what are you talking about?"
He says in a serious tune:" you were trying to learn how to swim right?! You were doing it the wrong way, because you are too scared, all you need is to let go of your fears and a good instructor"
"I am trying!" she protests
"It's not good enough! You have to try harder" he says then continues "and that Kabir, he makes lousy instructor, he didn't know how to teach you" he says it in a mocking way!
Feeling agitated now she snaps:"Really! You think you know better! Then why don't you teach me!", as soon as she utters the words, she bites her lip! Are you out of your mind Piya! How could you ask him! Is this your stupid way of trying to get over him! By getting with him into a pool alone in night!
He tries to hide his smile; I thought you will never ask Piya! He thought and then says coldly: "sure"
NO!, NO!, she looks at him now getting very nervous, trying to think of something to back off of what she said, but instead she gets drowned in his gaze for moments, he breaks off the eye lock and turns his head and says: "come on" he jumps in the pool
"No I am, I mean I.. ", she mumbles nervously
He looks at her:" you what Piya? Do you want to learn or maybe you are still scared?" he looks at her with challenge.
She sighs, me and my big mouth! Why do I always end up putting my self in such awkward situations!
"So are you coming or not?" he says lazily as he swims on his back looking at her. She sighs and goes closer to the pool!
He smiles as she hesitantly climbs down the ladder, then holds the edge once she was inside the water, he comes closer to her slowly, like he was gliding, both were looking at each other, she holds her breath, the whole thing looked unreal, it was just like a dream!
She and Abhay alone in the pool at night with soft music floating in the air and the gleam lights? she couldn't take her eyes off of him and neither could he! She gulps, her fists holding to the edge more tightly now!
Now he was standing just right in front of her, "you can let go now" he says smiling
She was lost "ha" she says
"The edge Piya, you can let go of it now" he was offering her his hands, she let go as he grabs her! She gasps "you have to let go of your fear Piya and you have to trust me", he says as he leads her, she was lost by all this, his closeness was affecting her "focus Piya" he says in a serious firm tune bringing her back from her la la land!
"Yes Abhay", he smiles and licks his lips: "now listen and concentrate and feel the water" then he tells her about the different swimming strokes and the easiest one for her was the breaststroke as she doesn't need to insert her head inside the water as that was her ultimate fear
He gives her instructions on how to kick her legs and stroke her hands and arms, he shows her while holding her, how to float her body and tells her that it's easy as human body can float easily
She tries to ignore the sensations that his warm touch were sending through her body and concentrate more on what he was instructing her to do! After few tries, slowly he let go of her hands and she was floating "There! See how it's easy, now try to kick", as soon as she realizes that he had let go of her, she panics, thus she starts to go down, but she didn't as Abhay grabs her fast! She gasps and holds on to him, her fists tightly holding him:" there see, nothing happened, I won't let you drown" he says gently calming her down
She looks up to him her heart beating fast, he smiles: "you have to trust me, do you trust me Piya Jaiswal?" strangely she does! she trusts him with her whole heart, she thought, she nodes, and he smiles and again he asks her to try to float and she doses still looking at her: " look at me, now I let you go and you have to move ok!, remember kick and stroke, you have to swim towards me"
She nervously agrees as he let go of her hands slowly, and moves away, still both looking at each other she moves slowly towards him but the more she does, the more he slowly goes away from her, he was letting her practice more, after few minutes, she gushes as she realizes that she was actually swimming and without any help, she gets overly excited and laughs in joy: "Wohoo! I am swimming, I am swimming Abhay" and she loses her balance and was about to go down, Abhay swims fast and gets hold of her grabbing her firmly from her waist as she holds his bare shoulders, she was still laughing with joy and he was laughs in amusement!
"Woo! Take it easy Nemo! Don't over do it now!" he says teasing her, and moving a strand of her hair away her face with his fingers, both were too close now, and both were laughing, Looking at each other with intensity! and slowly as the laughter fades away she could feel his heart beat as he can feels hers, both were breathing heavily his gaze shifts to her lips and again to her eyes and then again to her parted lips and she gets taken back by the passion that she can see in his eyes, their breath collated, his closeness, his touch and his gaze send a shiver in her body and a ticklish feeling in her guts, she trembles and closes her eyes.
"I think you had enough lessons for one day" says Abhay as he sighs and moves slowly away from her!
Piya opens her eyes puzzled feeling lost, and sees that he was out of the pool! Toweling his hair, wow he is fast! She sighs deeply and slowly swims and gets out the pool feeling awkward
Both were wet as they stood there near the pool, facing each other, the soft music was still floating in the air, his gaze goes down looking at her from her head down to her toes, he swallows, her wet curls were dripping on her bare shoulders, her fair skin was glowing and was in contrast with her black swimming costume, you are so beautiful, you take my breath away Piya, he thought, but Piya was least aware, because like him she too was checking him out, she too was looking at him from his head down to his toes, he look so masculine and so handsome, why every time you look at me I feel so breathless she thought
They were looking at each other like they were seeing each other for the first time, he senses that she was looking at him too and he looks away moving and brushing his wet hair with his hand
"it's getting very late now, you better get back to your room" he says she sighs, as she tries to shake the excess water from her hair, he hands her a towel she says" thanks"
She wears her pant over the wet costume, he looks away
"I will walk you to your room" he says softly "umm, no need I will go by my self" she says nervously, she was afraid that someone might see them, but seems he doest take no for an answer, as he says again "it's not safe to be alone Piya, you should never go out alone" his voice was full of concern she looks at him puzzled " Abhay we are inside a resort! and not a jungle"
He ignores her remark" just promise me you never be alone" she looks at him puzzled as both walk silently
When they reach the room, she looks at him fondly, and says gently:" thank you Abhay for teaching me how to swim, that was sweet of you, and good night"
"You have a long way to go but that's a good start", he says while looking at her with a cold gaze, he nodes and to her surprise he gets inside the room that was next to theirs!
She gets inside the shower and then goes into a deep thought, what's going inside your mind Abahy? one moment you warm up to me another moment you are so cold, one moment I feel You care so much about me another moment like you never do?!, did you really follow me, why every time I look around you are there, even tonight I feel as if you were watching me, how come you came to the pool when I was there! This all doesn't make any sense! Misha says you are here because of me, is it true Abhay? and if so, if you have feelings for me, then why are you shutting them off, why cant you admit it to me? But mostly why are you fighting these feelings? Maybe you think I am not good enough for you, that's why you deny them!
I am not rich or famous or even that much beautiful, maybe you feel.., hell! I don't know how you feel! I don't know how I feel anymore! you are confusing me and confusing your self, God why did you come! Why are you doing this! You are making things harder for me! She remembers the pool, the lesson, their laughter, and closeness, oh God! I don't think I have ever moved on! I am still madly in love with you, and it hurts Abhay.
Meanwhile Abhay takes deep breathes inside his room he rubs his hands over his face and neck, he felt restless, how could I do this to you again especially now that you were almost over me!,
I went down to the pool just to keep an eye on you and ended up making you more confused and vulnerable to your own feelings and to mine!, just because I couldn't control my emotions and keep away from you! And its all because of you, you make me feel so weak that I can't think straight, I hate being so weak, now I have to start all over! I feel I failed you again Piya, I always try to shield you from harm and end up hurting you!
He closes his eyes as the flash back of her in his arms roams In his mind, laughing in joy, he swallows! whenever I see you or touch you I feel I am alive and tonight when you closed your eyes for a moment all I wanted is to pull you closer and kiss you and tell you how much I love you, but thank God I came back to my senses and backed off the closer I come to you the harder it is from me to deny my feelings and it hurts Piya!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17- The Concert
The next morning Piya was the first one from the gang to wake up, and dive in the pool, she was overly excited about her ability to swim, so she had an early light breakfast and then she jumped in, and practiced some more! None of her group were there yet, only some tourists.
So when Kabir and the rest came later they got surprised! She tells them she has practiced and they get impressed!
The whole morning Abhay was no where to be found, and Piya thought, he might have gone somewhere, she missed him, but nevertheless she was relived, little she knew that he was watching her from his room's window with a smile on his face, he was happy to see her so thrilled and joyful!
After lunch,"Guys don't worn your selves out, there is a beach concert at 6 o'clock, the band (Living Damned) will perform there, followed by a beach party near the beach bar on the other side, so we will get to dine and then dance all night long" says Danish, everyone clap and cheer in excitement!
Misha cries out in joy, jumping around" living damned! No way dude!, why didn't you guys tell me"
Piya looks puzzled and say:" what's that?!"
"Oye, don't you know who they are? Seriously Piya which planet are you living in? They are the coolest band ever, they totally rock, let me give you a glimpse" says Misha she grabs her I Pod and let her watch a music video of the band
"Chee! What kind of music is this?" says Piya with a disgust look on her face Misha gets stunned while everyone else laughs!
"Thank you Piya! at least your taste in music is much better then Misha's" says Panchi laughing
"No way! they are the best, Piya you still live in the stone age you don't know anything about cool music"
Piya giggles "music!, you call that music! It's like someone is throwing away steel plates and pots or banging them together" everyone laugh again
"Enough ha! No one makes fun of heavy metal rock bands they are the lords of music" says Misha agitated
"What lords! Most of the times their music don't have a proper or tune and the lyrics are nonsense and most of them are drug addicts and wear stupid costumes, with lots
of ugly tattoos all over their bodies ,and what's up with body piercing in some odd places! Yuck" says Piya giggling while Panchi claps laughing
"Oye, shut up! they are the best, you go and listen to your old black and white sara hua music" says Misha
Piya giggles
"You tell her Piya, she likes these stupid bands, I personally get headaches whenever I listen to them" says Kabir winking
"Kabir don't lie! You used to love them"
"Used to na! but not anymore I was bacha before" he winks
"Et tu Brutus?!" says Misha agitated shaking her head" just for saying this, I will ban you all from watching their live concert" Says Misha putting her hands across her chest, then she sulks.
seeing her frowned face Piya puts her arms around her affectionately "hey but I am sure they have some great songs and that we will enjoy watching them alive, beside I have never seen a live concert before so I am sure it will be allots of fun"
"It is! You will see! it will be rocking! and hey they have few romantic songs too, I am sure you will enjoy them," says Misha excited now
"But seriously what's with their odd costumes, they dress up like vampires "Says Panchi
"Duh! The band name is living damned so obviously they will dress like some kind of demons na, beside they look so cool and scary"
"Cool! Seriously! All that white paint on their faces, red eye lenses and the fangs! ok why don't they dress up like devils, paint them selves red with horns, tail and all" says Panchi laughing
"Shut up birdie, devils don't look cool, vampires do!" she winks and then growls and hiss showing her teeth! And then pretends that she wants to bite Piya's neck, Piya jumps out of her chair shrieking and she runs after her both laughing and Kabir joins in hissing and growling!
Abhay was watching all this amused, with a smile on his face!
Later in the evening, "Wow look at you! ready to kill" says Panchi as she sees Piya, she was wearing a navy blue top embroidered with greenish blue threads and tiny triangle mirrors and a grey skinny jeans "thank you" says Piya with a smile
Then Panchi snaps irritated shaking her head" Misha! What are you wearing?" she was wearing a grey top with baggy shorts and slippers
"Relax Panchi it's just a beach concert! Everyone will be wearing casual"
" Piya is also wearing causal but look at her, she looks so feminine and look at you! You look like a tomboy" She protests
"birdie stop behaving like my mom! hey Piya let's slip before so we get the best place, this bird has to do allot of painting before she can fly" Panchi looks at her angrily, she grabs Piya's hand and drags her, both running and giggling in the hall "hold on the door" she screams as they reach the elevators, the lift door opens again.
"Miss. Kidish Dobrial, still running in the halls, playing hides and seeks with your kindergarten friend" says Abhay
"Ha Ha very funny! Uncle Abhay Raichand" Misha says irritated, he smiles looking down, Piya looks at him smiling, and strangely she didn't feel offended by what he had said as she felt he was just humoring them! He slowly checks her out from her head down to her toes and she checks him out, he was wearing a navy blue, full sleeve mate finished silk shirt, its upper buttons were opened down, with blue jeans and casual shoes, his hands in his pockets
"At least we are having fun unlike you, with your sulking sara hua attitude, chill dude, seriously, who killed your dog?" snaps Misha
he says smirking: "I never had a dog!"
"Duh! It's just a figure of speech, it means.." she pauses looking at his smug face as she feels he was just mocking her "oh forget it!" she snaps irritated
As they get off of the lift and head for the beach "what a loser" says Misha Piya looks back but Abhay wasn't following them
"Chill Misha! woh mazaak Kar raha ta!" says Piya
"Mazaak! and why are you defending him?" says Misha
"Choro yaar! Don't spoil your mood; remember we are going to Living Damned concert" Piya acts like she was overly excited moving her hands!
Misha twitches her lips then smiles "woho! We are going to their live concert, I don't believe it! Finally I get to see them live! Come on I will race you!", she runs and Piya runs after her giggling
The stage was set near the beach, it was decorated with lots of scary looking rubber bats that looked real! and black and blood red curtains were flying with the sea breeze, many people were waiting "There is Ruhi" says Piya
She joins them with a frowned face" what happened?" asks Misha
"I heard they have canceled the concert" says Ruhi
"What! Why? Who told you that" says Misha in a hyped voice
"That man!" she points at the middle age man who looked troubled
and then she continues "he said the main guitarist had food poisoning and he is hospitalized" says Ruhi in a sad tune.
"No, no! But there is one more guitarist! They always have 2" says Misha
"Yeah that what I said" says Ruhi sulking
Misha marches to the man who was the organizer of the event and comes back few minutes later with a sad face, she crashes sitting on the sand "this is not happening! They have cancelled it, I asked them why can't they sing without the main guitarist? Then he said they just can't"
Piya feels disappointed too, this was her first time to witness such an event and it got cancelled before she had the chance to enjoy it!
Ruhi starts to smile and pat her eyes and says, "Abhay "
Abhay glances at them and nodes, as he walks to towards the show organizer.
Soon the beach gets crowded. The mass become agitated as soon as they learn that the show has been cancelled and they start to shout boo booing!
Then as Piya, Misha & Ruhi turn to head back to the hotel, suddenly the organizer announces that they will carry on with the show, and that they have found a substitute for the main guitarist.
Then he says "ladies and gentleman please welcome the Living Damned and for the first time Abhay, thanks to him, the show was saved give them a huge hand" everyone clap and whistle cheering, Misha , Piya and the rest get astonished as they hear this and they turn around
There was Abhay standing on the stage, looking handsomely odd among the band members, who were dressed like old movie vampires, wearing all black with long black coats, their faces painted with white makeup, they were wearing red lenses and fangs! They looked a bit scary Piya thought, Misha looks stunned at Abhay, Piya smiles and mutters softly "he saved the day!"
Misha looks at Piya, and then to the stage! Her jaw dropped open!
The band start singing while Abhay like a professional guitarist starts to play the electrical guitar with so much ease, and everyone starts to dance and cheer, "he looks so hot" shouts Ruhi, he sure is Piya thought nervously.
Kabir and the rest join them Kabir looks stunned too, when he sees Abhay on the stage
"What a show off!" he says
"By the way, that the show off, actually saved the show!" says Misha in hyped tune
"wow he is good" says Danish while Panchi was smiling and cheering
Abhay was too involved playing and seemed he wasn't bothered by them or by the rest of the crowd! only when the band had to stop and the main vocalist had to thank them or say which song he was going to sing next
that he would look up
"Go Abhay" cheered Danish and Panchi, while Piya had this huge thrilled smile on her face, moving with the music
Kabir was looking coldly and was annoyed and Misha was having a blast cheering and jumping and joking
she tells them " look at Abhay, he looks more scary and more like a vampire then the rest" she laughs unaware that Abhay could hear her and he looks at her with a stern smile!
finally after some time the show comes to an end, it was getting dark and the spot lights were on and the stage along with the band looked more scary now
when they announce that it was the finale song, the singer says that this song is close to his heart because it's describes his emotions right now, its an old song sang by another old group called Europe and it's dedicated to all those who lost their love in one point or another of their lives"
"Piya I am sure you will love this song, it's soft " says Misha
The song begins and it was a bit sad
Here is the original song and its lyrics:
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQs5nLs0LYA[/YOUTUBE]
Abhay looks at Piya while he plays the intense tune and her gaze flies back to him,
"So Piya, what do you think?" says Misha excited, but Piya couldn't hear her, because she was mesmerized by Abhay's intense gaze
Misha looks at Piya and then at Abhay, and she gets stunned by the way they were looking at each other, they were so lost in each other's gaze, it was like they were alone with no one around them! Kabir notices that too, he becomes very upset and leaves the concert paving his way across the crowd!
Tear gather in Piya's eye and Abhay looks down to his guitar breaking the eye lock, as he plays it like he was pouring his heart out, he feels a painful lump as he sees Piya's frozen tears, Piya I beg of you please don't look at me like that, he thought, the song lyrics were really moving them and they somehow expresses both of their state of minds!
They were unaware that Misha was looking at them both, stunned by what she was seeing! Piya looks down, her finger twirling a strand of her curls, she sighs deeply to recollect her self, and to stop her self from crying!, please Abhay don't ever look at me like that, she silently pleaded
A huge round of applause follows after they finish off the last song and they thank the crowd bowing to them sending flying kisses, some people start to whistle
"Where did Kabir go?" says Misha looking around puzzled
Then she says "hey Danish, be a sweetheart and please help us get their autograph" says Misha excited
"Sorry sweetie, I tried to arrange a backstage meeting so you guys get their autograph but they have apologized as this was their last gig in Goa and they are heading for the airport now, they should be there in half an hour"
Misha and Ruhi feel disappointed!
Piya looks away when she sees Abhay striding towards their direction
"Abhay! You were amazing" says Danish
"Thanks" says he
"Yeah truly! thanks for saving the show, otherwise Misha would have been shattered, they are her favorite band ever since she was 10 years old" says Panchi, then she nudges Misha with her elbow trying to make her say something too
"Yeah thanks" she says in a cold tune
Ruhi says "thanks Abhay you are too sweet"
He nodes and says:"my pleasure", and then hands an envelope to Misha and says "here, this is for you", and then walks away leaving them all puzzled!
Misha opens the envelope, to her surprise it had a photo of the band with their signed autograph she reads it "to Misha our cutest fan ever, keep smiling, with love "with a stunned look she looks at them then screams "unbelievable! he got me their autograph" Ruhi feels disappointed but then Panchi notices that there was one more photo sticking out from the envelope and she takes it out and find out that there were two more, one was addressed to Ruhi and the other one to Piya!
Ruhi jumps in joy "woho! he got one for me too!", she reads hers loudly "to Ruhi always believe in your self, with love LD" Piya looks at her with a huge smile "to Piya, hope you enjoyed your first concert and enjoyed our show! With Love "
Misha snatches Piya's pic and looks at it puzzled and says" how did they know that! and why did Abhay bothered to ask them for this"
"You have to admit, that this was a very sweet gesture, I told you he is a nice guy didn't I?", says Panchi and Piya looks at the sea as waves crash on the shore, with a sad smile on her face!
