She was sitting at her specific favorite corner in the KaSh caf, and was enjoying her 3^rd cup of hot chocolate,

She was about to finish her last sip when she saw him entering from the mirror door of caf, seeing him in his French looks her heart skips its beat as it use to do every time she saw him.

Its been 6 days he was coming here regularly just for her. He knew that where she will be seating, so without looking around he glanced direct at her corner and a smile formed on his face, a pure genuine smile which use to occupy his dimpled face whenever he saw her.

He made his way towards her and took a seat across her. She smiled welcomely seeing him taking seat.

He : Hey, what's up ?

She : hi, , umm nothing was just making some designs.

He : that's great can I have a look at them ?

She : Sure

He while taking papers from her : Coffee ?

She : ummm'..Yeah

He order his Black coffee with one table spoon sugar and for her he ordered Hot chocolate as he knew she definitely will take only this. . . . . . . . . . . . .

He was busy in looking at designs when she start observing him briefly unknowingly.

She start remembering their FIRST Meeting here in New York at KaSh Caf after when they PART AWAY a year before AGAIN after 2 years.

She was living here in New York from 1 year and was studying Fashion & Designs as her favorite time pass, she use to work with Kash Hussain the famous Pak-Indian Designer in New York, as her theme was on traditional designs so she was appointed to prepare designs with him. She use to work with him all the day at his boutique, while to finalize or to think more brighter she use to come at KaSh caf every evening to take a cup of hot chocolate. . . . . [ the caf was add joint to the boutique and Kash Hussain was owner.]

FLASH BACK START :

But one day It was the same cold day of February here in New York when she was busy same as in making her designs, when she felt someone was standing beside her table she looked above and her breaths forgot to come out from her throat. She was seeing him after whole bloody year, she was feeling again the same sensation which use to occupy her 4 years back when ever he came close to her when ever he touched her.

He was smiling at her nervously , he was not sure about her reaction on seeing him after what ever happened last year was not easy to forget after all. He spoke weakly.

He : h'. Hi Shilpa.

Shilpa still her breaths were struck in her throat tried to speak try to control the situation : Hey '. Karan. You are here ?

Karan : hmmm, yeah actually I came here on vacation for a relief.

Still nervously pointing towards other chair across the table : aan can I join you ?

She was still not sure what she is saying, she was still recovering from her shocked state of mind, yeah man she was shocked after all she wasn't expecting that KARAN SINGH GROVER will came across SHILPA ANAND here in KaSh Caf in New York after a year.

Shilpa came back to her senses : uuaam yeah sure, have a seat.

Karan smiled on her nervous act and take a seat across her.

Shilpa : Coffee ? ( She was sure of his answer )

Karan : yeah, black coffee with one table spoon sugar

Unknowingly she smiled so widely on his answer that her chin dimpled appeared for a second which made his heart to stop for a moment and then to jump with the urge to touch that side chin's dimple.

Controlling his inner desires he clenched his teeth and his eyes start feeling damp to him, NO WAY man was he going to cry, NAAA

He is KSG, he can't cry, Hunk's don't use to cry, for God Sake stop it.

The reason of this dampness was the whole bloody last year. On which He regretted now. He still remember when circumstances were out of control how much he tried to stop her but some thing stopped him for doing that, and he let go her AGAIN, he knew that he was going to miss her like he missed her in those two years but that day he wasn't listening to his heart he was using his brain that lead them again to be Parted away, and he even didn't wish her a final GOOD BYE, neither did she come to meet him.

But now he was feeling a bit relax may be he didn't wish her good bye cz he was going to meet her after a year. And now he was sure what he have to do now. Finally making up his mind he took a deep breath and felt relax after whole 1 year. He touched his back with chair and start looking at her with same care, affection and love which he holds 4 years back.

She was sure of his gaze, that's why she downed her face on her papers to avoid his intense gaze.

Hardly she looked above at him for a moment their eyes met and a spark appear b/w them, to avoid that she said ;

Shilpa : if you dn't mind, can you wait for sometime so that I can complete my design in the mean time you can wait for coffee too.

He was having his arms across his well built chest while his back was touching chair, his broad shoulders took her attention for a moment and then she saw him nodding in an approve-ment.

He didn't get what she said, he just nodded without hearing her in actual he was preparing him self for what he was going to say her.

Seeing him agreeing on her statement she relieved a breath of relaxation, she wasn't in a mood to work on her designs now, she knew that if he is sitting in front of her she'll not be able to concentrate on her work, so she ask for sometime just to gather her courage, to control her running heart beat, to give her lungs the proper amount of oxygen which wasn't possible from last 5 minutes when from when he came to her.

Basically she was having her gaze on her papers while her mind was back in the memory of last year.

How circumstances made them part away again, he was her very good friend , may be he is still her good friend'. But what ever happened last year wasn't easy to forgettable. Yes it was a kind of hard to forget his strange behavior while still living in Mumbai, so she made a decision and came here in New York to give her mind some time to relax, to live her life like she wanted to live. How much she wished for once he stop her but no, all hopes go in drain, when he even stop talking to her while working at same place. She had left no choice other then to leave again. So she left, without a word.

She left her work place, She left her home, She left Mumbai, She left HIM, and came here to get some peace of mind.

Now what he was doing in-front of her ? its been 15 minutes he didn't say any word after she asked for sometime. . . .She wasn't sure what to ask him, how to break that silence which she created on asking to complete her designs''..Finally she looked above, he was still sitting in same position and his gaze was as intense as it was before. A gush of blood came and leave her cheeks in Nano seconds.

Shilpa while controlling her heart rate again : Sorry, actually I can't left my work hanging in middle.

he didn't miss that red gush on her face and he enjoyed that. He was still sitting in same position now he was quite confident

Karan : Really ? but you do. . . . . . .

Leaving his sentence in middle, she knew what he was referring to,

She felt the same anger and hurt built inside her, but she her self was a polite person who believes in being patient with people So controlling her inner situation she said ;

Shilpa : Sometimes you left with no other option. . . . . any how, how you doing ?

Karan understands her each and every word very clearly and he felt a bit guilty on making her say this trying to make atmosphere again normal he said : I'm good. & You ?

Shilpa : well I'm also fine.

Karan : so what's going on ?

Shilpa : nothing just doing some fashion designs courses and working with Kash Hussain here on traditional collection.

Karan with a smile : sounds interesting.

Shilpa smilingly : hmmm and what you doing now a days ?

Karan : I'm free now a days, enjoying my holidays.

In the mean time they had their coffee and hot chocolate while talking on various topics, somehow the atmosphere was quite normal now, both tried to ignore to talk about last year.

When they finished their drink, Shilpa start gathering her things form table. Karan noticed that and he was sure she is going to left soon, his heart beat goes erratic on the thought of her leaving plan. He gather his all courage to make words in his mind, when she smiled finally and told him that she have to go as she is getting late for something, he knew that she was lying now it was the right time to act on his plans.

After bidding him Good Bye she was passing near from him when he gripped her hand, a chill wave ran through her body on his touch which made her heart to change sides. Then she heard him.

Karan : Please Don't Go.

He heart punched her hard, how badly she wanted to hear those words last year, but alaas. Now he was saying those words, when she was deliberately trying to avoid to spent time with him. When she wanted to hear those words that time he didn't utter those words in past and now she was waiting whats in store for her in her present or may be coming future. she was in no mood for such emotional situation he was asking her not to go.

while still holding her hand he stands up from seat and made his way in-front of her , face to face : I'm Sorry Shilpa.

Saying so lowered his eyes, while she closed her eyes to absorbed his words. Was he really saying what she heard ? she opened her eyes and found his face still down, sensing her gaze on himself he looked above and his eyes spoke to her, yes he was really saying those words to her. His eyes were showing the truth of his words.

To avoid any more emotional talk she said : Karan I have to go, Please.

He holds her hand more tightly on hearing her words. And said ;

Karan : Shilpa please . . . . . . for once listen to me, I know you are trying to avoid thats coming next.

Please for once, let me have a talk with you. Today I got a chance to fix my mistake let me please.

I want to talk to you right now. Please.

This time he emphasis on please word more. She looked in his greyish blue eyes and take a deep breath.

Slowly taking her hand out of his grip she again sat back on her previous seat. Where as he sat back on his place. After a moment of silence Karan started the conversation.

Karan : I know you dn't wanna talk about last year, and I'll not talk about that. But the things which I'm gonna say you today are'.. I mean I want to apologize'..about'.about last year.

I mean'..look'..Shilpa I'm sorry, I'm really sorry on behaving so stupidly last year. I know I was selfish I didn't support you when you were badly in need of your friend.

I'm sorry for that' I did realize this after when I got everything but still something was missing, and that something was you Shilpa, I got everything but I lose you that day again, so I take a break from everything and start roaming around the world to get some solace but I failed. And believe me I still feel that missing thing inside me. I tried to call you but you changed your number, you left your house, you left from country, You left ME Shilpa.

On hearing his last sentence she looked above at him and his eyes were giving guarantee of his words.

Shilpa with a li'l hurted voice : I didn't left Y'(cutting [you] )''' Everything. Those were circumstances who made me left everything.

Karan : I know but I was the one who could have change the situation, but I didn't. and I'm asking apology for that. Please forgive me.

Shilpa : Karan I'm not angry or mad at you. . . .

He : stop lying Shilpa

Shilpa : no I'm not '''

she was cut in b/w by him, : yes you are.

He again : I'm asking again, please forgive me.

This time he used his tactic he holds his ears and made a puppy Dog face while asking for forgiveness, which made her smile a li'l.

He again : pleaseee

Shilpa while smiling lightly : its okay, let it go, that was past. Let's not talk about that more.

Karan happily offering her his hand : Friends ?

Shilpa seemed as if thinking for a while.

Karan with puppy Dog face : please, I promise not to leave your side this time.

Hearing him she curved her lips into a sweet smile and accepted his offer. Both shook their hands and throw genuine smiles towards eachother.

FLASH BACK ENDS

Both talked for hours after becoming friends again, they talked about each and every thing expect that tense last year.

They use to meet here now daily, Karan was staying here at his relatives but all the day he use to spent time to wait for evening, he was adamant not to lose her again, he can't. he knew why. But for the time being he wanted to suppress this WHY. He was acting a very good friend in those whole 6 days, he helped her in many designs. Even she use to take his suggestion, both use to have their coffee and hot chocolate in eveing. Seems like they were developing a New bond now. And it was obvious both were use to be so close to each other in past, it was just time who create distances b/w them but now, both were adamant to defeat time.

She was still lost in her thoughts, when she noticed his looks, he was a bit change, same manly perfect physic but this time he was having French on his face. And he was looking deadly. She was aware of the female eyes on him right now and she felt a fear, fear of losing him again. But she just ignored it, she didn't want to grow those feelings which may lead towards distances b/w them. They were friends and now they should behave as friends. So she give herself a mental kick and divert her attention towards her hot chocolate.

Karan was aware of her gaze but he didn't dare to look above, he knew there is something running inside her mind but he didn't dare to ask, he knew the subject was he him self so he refrained himself for asking about anything.

So in a normal way he look above from papers to her face, where as she was now acting as if she is busy with her hot chocolate, but he didn't miss that red gush on her face, and he loved that thing about her, she was purely beauty , in every case she was beauty, she was shy, she was straight forward, she was sober and she was a person who always cares about values. Definitely she has stolen his heart 4 years back but now he was more willing to give her his heart again, but this time he didn't wish to ruin their friendship he knew its just 6^th day of their newly formed friendship. So lets be just friends, if there is something more then this, let's wait for that. Cz both were aware of the spark they create whenever they use to be around eachother.

After finishing their drinks and their usual talk,

Shilpa : okay I have to go now.

Karan looked at his watch and said : where ?

Shilpa : I have to go market.

Karan : oh right.

Shilpa : okay then see you.

Karan : yeah, see you.

Shilpa : bye

Karan : take cares.

She left . . . . . . . he saw her leaving from the mirror door of the cafe . instantly his brain become activated and he ran after her. Quickly leaving cafe he joined her on street's corner right next to caf.

Karan : Shilpaaa...Shi ...Shilpaaa listen

She turned around only to find him panting cz of the lack of breathing. He was still taking long and deep breaths to get it back to normal.

Shilpa : what ? what happened ?

Karan : can I join you ? ...i mean... As I'm free so if you don't mind.

She got confuse on his explanation but recovering from that she said with smile : Sure, Let's walk then.

Karan : WALK ? don't tell me you going to walk till market in this cold ?

Shilpa with a curves smile : yes you are right, I love walking or roaming on New Yorks street's in this cold. Sooo If you going to join me. Then just walk.

Saying so she didn't wait for his answer and just turned around to take steps.

He was confused with his eyebrows lifted up while imagining the long way towards market and then this freezing temperature, but he left not choice and he walked besides her.

They were walking while commenting on places which were coming in their way, when Karan felt his hands going freeze with cold he was about to place them in his jacket pockets when his right hand lightly brushed her left hand. His heart danced on this budding feeling. . . . he refrained to place that hand in pocket, he kept that hanging on her side, and placed his other hand in pocket. He noticed her she was having paper file in her right hand where as her other hand was hanging in air and was touching his right hand everytime when ever they use to pass from a congested place. He was purely welcoming those sensations again which he use to feel around her every time. They were passing by a shop on the foothpath when a group of teen boys and girls passed by them, It was a crowded area, suddenly this made them on distance from eachother, Karan kept walking when he noticed she wasn't at his side any more, he looked above through the crowd and found her struggling b/w the rush of people around her.

He made his way towards her while using his whole force of biceps to make some space for him in b/w this rushy road. He approached her and took her out from the rush while holding her from arm.

She saw him and thanked to God for sending him here, she was feeling as if that rush was crushing her.

They again start walking while again the games of hands started again, when it become difficult for him to hold on his desire any more, or to ignore the sensation of her touching hand, he slipped his hand and hold on to her, not only he held her hand in fact he securely entwined his fingers with her.

Karan while justify his act : it's a crowded street, hold on.

She gasped when she felt his warm palm against her hand, and his fingers lovingly and securely getting tight around her fingers, whereas she didn't response and kept her fingers lose. But she felt so good while walking with him hand in hand on her favorite place New York Streets.

At last they reached the main Market and then she get a chance to take her hand out from his grip he noticed her understandingly he let go off her hand, while she relieved a breath which was stuck in her throat. Making their way inside the mall, Karan was totally speechless, he knew what he had done, confidently he hold her hand but he was too having a hard time on him while feeling her fingers around his own fingers. He just follows her. Without knowing where she is going or not. He was busy in studying her beautiful features, her big green eyes, were still same sparkling with same shine, her pink glossed lips were same luscious having a curve of confusion, she was looking for something while looking here and there. She was walking a li'l ahead from him now and now his gaze was on her silky black hairs which were covering her back. She was perfect.

Un knowingly he took a deep breath to inhale her fragrance, things were change b/w them, but one thing was same, her fragrance. He in hailed and lost in their past. . . yes yes yes, she use to smell same that time too, 4 years back. Best days of my life he thought and smiled.

It was getting hard for him now to control on his thoughts, so he too start looking here and there uselessly.

Shilpa : that's elegant.

He noticed her she was looking at a black men Rolex. . . . . . . . .

Frowning in confusion he made his way towards her. . . . . .

Karan : are you buying this ?

Shilpa without taking her eyes off from it : yeah, look its nice na ?

Karan while ignoring her other sentence get alert on the fact that she is buying a men watch but for whom?

Karan : for whom you are buying ?

Shilpa still not looking at him : for Someone.

Karan questionably : someone ?

Shilpa : Someone Special

Her sentence made him clenched his teeth, he didn't realize that he was getting jealous from that someone, according to her someone special. He kept clenching his teeth from stopping him self to make any more comments.

While getting silence in return she looked above at him and found him serious looking at floor.

She smirked inwardly cz she knew what he must be thinking she knew him very well, he must be curious to know that person cz of his curious nature, but right now her selection of rolex was more important then to tease him.

She'll take her revenge of last year some other time by teasing him.

Shilpa :its nice na ?

He just looked above and lift his brows while curving his lips into a not so interested mood and just nodded in a approval.

After buying that they spent some more time in mall and then they left. Shilpa feel he was quite on their way back from mall. But she just ignored, as she wasn't in any mood to discuss anything now.

This walk on NY's street was memorable for them which left something feel able inside their restless hearts.

After few Days when they met at KaSh's Caf Shilpa told him that she is leaving for Miami by tomorrow as her sister want her to visit them before going back to India, yes she was going back india after a year, cz her course was complete now and she was going to submit her assignments and projects on last theme the Traditional theme.

He heard her very well, he felt a bit sad cz he was going to stay in states for more 1 month and she was leaving tomorrow. But he was happy that at last she is going back Mumbai, he was sure they'll meet in Mumbai now. So he felt a li'l relax.

Next day it was 23 feb, a cold day,

really cold indeed. He was waiting for her in the caf as she told him to meet her there, cz after 2 hours she was leaving for her flight for Miami where she was going to stay for 2 days they back to india.

Its been half hour he was waiting for her, while consuming his 2^nd black coffee. Atlast she appeared from the mirror door. She was looking in haste while entering in caf.

He noticed her and stand up from his seat.

Shilpa : hey, how's you ?

Karan : I'm good. Come have a seat.

Shilpa with sorry face : I'm sorry I'm in a hurry, I just came here to say you bye once, actually I heard the high way is on jam so I have to leave early if I have to take my flight. Will call you when I reached Miami.

Okay.

Then all of a sudden she hugged him and said : Happy BirthDay Karan.

While parting the hug she saw him, he was dumbfounded he was recovering from her speech first and then this B'Day wish. This made him lose all his senses.

She remembered his b'day, wao man. This thought make him to dance in joy but he didn't.

Shilpa while waving infront of his eyes : hey ? what happened ?

Karan : aaan na nothing. . Th'Thanks

He smiled, the She handed him a box,

Shilpa not sure of his state :alright, here is your b'day gift from my side.

He take that box, but didn't pay much attention to it, cz she was picking up her bag which was the sign that she is leaving now.

Karan : can I drop you till air port ?

Shilpa : ummm no thank you, I have a cab, infact my language is there out side in it. Okay then I should leave now.

Hope to see you back in Mumbai.

Bye take cares.

Karan : yeah sure. Have a safe journey.

She throw a smile again at him and waving him she left the caf.

Karan took a deep breath and noticed the box in his hand, she remembered his b'day that was the best gift for him right now, but still she bring a gift for him, any how he took his seat again and opened the box...where he found the same Black elegant Rolex.

His heart stopped its beating when he saw that Rolex. Her words start echoing in his ears.

" For SomeOne Special "

That means that Someone was HE ?

His heart suddenly start thudding so hard that he kept a hand on it to control it fearing it will come out at any moment.

He was confused... he wanted to run behind her to chase her, to stop her on airport and to ask her what does it mean ? but he knew this time he can't act like an idiot so he just stay there sitting while watching his gift, may be she had given him all answers to his pending questions.

He was confused either to laugh happily or to cry in happiness. . . .. . . . . .. he was hell confused so that the mixing of emotions came out as his chocked laugh which was holding tears in his greyish blue eyes. Man Hunks DO cry in happiness, after all they too have a heart 😉

He hugged that box and relax his self, after some time he made a call. . . . . . . . . . . . .

After two days he was sitting in waiting area on Miami's Airport for her. Yes she was going back to india today via Miami , and he was sitting here since morning. That day when she left him, he made a call back at her home in Mumbai and ask her mother to give him her sister's US number, then he contacted her, he was in contact with her sister since 2 days. And now everything was going as he planned.

Luckily today was only one flight which was going to inida so it wasn't a difficult task to track her.

At last he saw her. She was coming inside the departure terminal with the same sober expressions and decent looks, even in her serious mood she was looking stunning. She was asking something on reception then she made her way towards the waiting area, Karan Purposely kept his bag besides him when he noticed the rush getting start in lounge. When he felt her searching for a seat he instantly took his bag off from couch and acting as he was busy in reading business magazine.

She noticed a man picking up his bag from couch she found a seat and move towards it, she sat there while checking time and tapping her feet.

Karan face covered with magazine : So, going back without me ?

Removing magazine from his face he looked at her surprised face.

Shilpa : OMG what you doing here ? You were suppose to be in NY.

Karan while making and investigating face : Really ? am I ?

She didn't speak infact she tried to find some words when he spoke.

Karan : You think I could stay there ? even after knowing my value for you ?

Again she didn't say any thing, her mind wasn't ready for such encounter, she was at loss on words.

Karan : Why didn't you told me that straightly ?

Shilpa with nervous frowns : Wha what ?

Karan : Oh C'mon stop acting now. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Why didn't you told me before that I'm SOMEONE SPECIAL ?

Shilpa closed her eyes to calm down and then she took a deep breath to relax her self and said after a while. She tried to avoid his question.

Shilpa : But You Still didn't told me what I'm for you ?

Karan : you STILL want answer ? my self being here doesn't count ?

Oh well BTW I had tell you many times.

Shilpa while rolling her eyes : that was 4 years back.

Karan : So What ? I did tell you na, that's onther thing that time we were not fully aware of our hidden bond.

Shilpa : so NOW you are ?

Karan while getting close to her face : absolutely

He blow a light whiff on her face, which made her smile, and she remembered Something back from past.

He again : and you ? are you sure ?

Shilpa while teasing him : I don't know.

Karan with obvious face : then let me made you sure about it. We Are Going Togather.

Shilpa was more in a mood to tease him : You Think I'll go with you ?

Karan : Yeah, I'm 101% sure cz you have no other option, it's the only flight and now you can't wait for another flight AND ALSO CZ

He stopped in mid way ''''

Karan while looking in her deep eyes : " Cz In The End We Gonna Be Togather "

Shilpa laughed on his dialogue : you Won, I Quit. Now stop flattering me.

Karan while smiling widely : So Shall we

He offer her his hand which was having her gifted Rolex on it, and definitely She had made a right choice in selecting Him as well as in selecting that Black Rolex for him.

She delicately placed her hand into his strong one, where as the announcement made which alert passengers to move towards the plane.

He entwined his fingers with her's and grab their bags, they move towards the terminal exit...

Today he felt the same spark, same sensation running through his hand while holding her hand, but one thing was new for him and that was her hold, today she was wrapping her entwined fingers around his which were showing the promise not to leave him ever now. And where as he was making the same promise in his heart to be at her side every time, he lifted their entwined hand and kissed her upper side of hand. Where as she just smiled shyly on his loving act.

here they go to take their flight, flight towards a New Journey, flight towards a New Life. With the memories of their Beautiful Past. Happiness, To-gatherness and Love.
