Subi, I'm so sorry I haven't commented till now. I have just not had any time to sit and read your ff till today, but finally I caught up and I have to say, you write very well. You painted a picture with your words - especially that first sighting that Armaan had of his dream girl. I could visualise it as well as if I were watching it on a screen. The ending of the second part has me intrigued. I know it's his dream girl, but I really wanna find out how this first interaction between them goes, so please do continue soon. And yes, thanks for the PM.😳

When i heard of Gia's sister and how strong and independant she is i just KNEW she would be Shilpa. hehe its the feeling.

thankyou soo much for the translations =D

You write the shayari yourself? do you know Urdu? Urdu poems are utterly beautiful. Arabic ones too. Ofcourse Ghazals come from Persia so actually i think middle east is known for its poetry hehe.

Wonderful update. i am waiting to see how it all unfolds. keep it up!

Yes! It was her! My Pari. I couldn't believe my eyes. Was I dreaming? Or was I hallucinating? I was numbed. She looked up to see me..aur jab meri aankhein us say mili toh aisa laga jaise mere dil ko kisi ne chu liya ho. Main usay dekh kar hi reh gaya. Hum Ik dusre ko bohot dair tak ghoorte rahe, maine uski aankhon mein kuch mehsoos kiya, uski aankhon mein kuch gham, kuch udaasi si thi, kuch dair baad usne apni nazrein sharam se neechay karli, lekin main usay takta hi raha. Woh bohot khoobsurat lag rahi thi, aur meri yeh aankhein us se hatt hi nahi rahi thi. She was really pretty, it wasn't only prettiness, it was much more than that. Although, describing her beauty is beyond words. Her hair was a rich shade of mahogany. They appear to be a dark warm safe place where I wish to hide. Her eyes framed by long lashes, were a bright, emerald-green and seemed to brighten the world. A straight nose, full lips, she seemed the picture of perfection. I have to say that she looked like an angel to me that I nearly ran into a light post. Woh aisi thi, jaise kisi shaayar ki ghazal. Meri ghazal...

Then I immediately dropped my gaze to the floor when I heard Gia's voice " Armaan, aap andar bhi chalein ge ya yahin per hi saara din guzaarne ka iraada hai?" She laughed politely. I felt embarrassed of being caught of staring at her sister like a maniac. She introduced me to her di. "Di this is Armaan, our neighbor, I was with him the whole time outside, playing jump rope with him. He's a very charming guy, and he's also Indian so I thought why not invite him to our house?" She said.

And Armaan this is my di, Shilpa. I closed my eyes and felt my heart beating for her name...Shilpa.. Kept echoing into my ears. I opened my eyes to see my palms were sweaty , my head ached as I probed for words, my jaw tightened with the effort to pronounce them. I searched frantically for the right combination of words, but somehow I managed to say "H-h-hi... " She looked at me and said "Hi, umm come on in". Ahhh her soft voice made my heart call out 'once more' to every word she said. I entered in. Her apartment was indeed nicely set up. The ceilings were high, with dangling fixtures over long, brown tables in the center of the room and near the windows. The stacks around the perimeter were crammed with books. I startled when I heard her say " Aap yahan bethiye main kuch peene ke liye laati hoon". I wanted to say it's ok there's no need to do that but I was nervous to say anything to her. So I nodded my head with a smile. She turned around and headed to the kitchen. I was busy scanning her living room and wondered how her bedroom would look like. Would it be romantic or dull? Would she have her favorite actor's poster up on her wall or have frames of her photos instead? I don't know why I was so keen to know how her bedroom would look like. Then My eyes fell on the center table, there was a book with a plastic cover on it. I picked it up slowly and felt every part of the book with my hand not leaving any inch of it. Knowing exactly she must've touched it with her hands and I wanted to feel her warm touch. I flipped over a page and realized there were ghazals written. It was a book filled with ghazals in it. I couldn't believe she liked ghazals too. She is the one I became a shaayar after seeing her. I let out a small laugh and realized Gia was sitting next to me. I looked at the little angel with a smile. "So Armaan, how did you like our apartment?"

"Well, I must say your apartment is outstanding, it's very pretty. I really like the fact how you two set this whole apartment."

She smiled and said " Well, yeh sab di ne sajaaya hai, usko decorate karna bohot acha lagta hai."

Then we both got distracted when we heard her foot steps coming towards us with a tray that had a glass of coke in her hand. I started suffocating when she came close to me to offer me the drink. My hands were shaking as I was proceeding to take the glass, like I'm being asked to grab a gun to shoot the president. My heart was beating as fast. Like it's going to jump out of my chest any second. I immediately grabbed the glass and looked at her and said "Thank you". She put the tray on the center table and sat on the couch opposite of where I was sitting.

"When did you come here? I mean to New York?" She asked after a long while silent, and I went limp with relief. "Actually I just arrived here six hours ago."

" Oh... Then you must be really tired." She asked delicately.

"Well not really, I'm really excited to see the new atmosphere here, and willing to meet new people here who I can talk to. Because I was really getting bored ever since I arrived and then I met Gia, she requested me to come over to her house... I hope you didn't mind."

"Of course I didn't. In fact , I like meeting new people as well. " She said with a smile.

Ahh her smile , it was the world would sign with contentment.

After several seconds, her cell phone rang. She excused herself and walked towards the side table where her cell phone was. She picked up the call and said " I'll call you back in a few minutes". And ended the call. I realized it must've been an important call so I shall leave from this place. As I felt guilty being here, I told her I should be going my mother must've been waiting for me as I was out the whole evening. I made an excuse and started walking to the exit door. When I heard Gia running towards me and said " Armaan, thank you for coming to our house". I turned back and bended my knees to get to her level and said " it was my pleasure."

"If you don't mind...can I call you Armaan bhaiyya?" I looked at Shilpa who was standing smiling at Gia's innocent request wondering how we made such a great bonding just in a few hours.

"Sure, you can." I ruffled her hair with a smile and walked out of their apartment. I stood in front of the tree which was in between our apartment that was attached to each other. I closed my eyes with a low sigh

"Ghazal likh kar bhi ghaalib na ban paaye, ishq karke bhi izhaar na kar paaye, yeh kaisa pyar hai mera jo iqraar na kar paaye, woh saamne thi phir bhi us say faryaad na kar paaye."

Umm sorry I know this was a small part lekin I'm really busy with college and work, And I have a test tomorrow so I don't even know why I'm here and updating this part 🤔 I didn't know what to write as I went blank on how to make them communicate with each other.

PS- Sorry I can't translate the ghazal , if I do I'll probably write rubbish which will sound gibberish. 😆
