UPDATE 17
Ek ajnabee sa ehsaas dil ko sataye
Shayad yahi to pyaar hai -Ek Ajnabee, Adnan Sami
3rd day, 8:OO P.M
[Shakti's POV]
"How he convinced me to come to this thing is beyond me'" I said softly, shaking my head.
There I stood, propped up against the wall, staring out the people that were dancing in the center of the room. My foot was tapping the floor lightly to the beat of the music, and my arms were crossed in; what could be noted as obvious annoyance.
My eyes were focused on a single pair of dancers, their partially airy movements easy to pick out of the crowd. Kunwar was dancing with some girl that he had, I remember, just randomly asked to dance, one of his fan.
As my eyes followed them, my blood rose to a boiling point, a blush flaring on my cheeks. I shook my head as an odd feeling surfaced in the bottom of my heart. There was no logic behind it, but I had the sudden urge to freeze the girl to the wall.
This was the usual throughout the night, so I was almost used to it by now. Kunwar, being the social person, danced with multiple girls. For the first time in my life, I cursed the existence of girls, though I was one of them. That feeling never ceased to make itself known, though.
Of course, I suppose I shouldn't complain. Whenever I was asked to dance, although rarely, I would make it my job to let Kunwar know it. I always had a feeling that he was watching from the corner of his eye, so I would flirtatiously accept and follow him to the dance floor.
I know it probably wasn't the best thing for me to do; make him jealous. But we were both playing that game this evening. Karma always has a way of getting back at you.
Ok so I learned as I leaned against the wall. I was snapped out of my trance as the music momentarily ended, a man walking by to announce that the last dance of the night was about to start.

Palko me tum, meri neendon mein tum
Mere khwabo main tum, bas tum
Yaadon mein tum, mere waadon mein tum
Meri aati jaati saansom mein ho tum
Turning towards the dance floor once again I saw Kunwar walking towards me, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. If he was still nervous when he asked me, he didn't show it one bit. He held his hand out and whispered, "would you like to dance?"
Palko me tum, meri neendon mein tum
Mere khwabo main tum, bas tum
Yaadon mein tum, mere waadon mein tum
Meri aati jaati saansom mein ho tum
I LOVE YOU
I didn't have to say anything as I simply let my hand slide into his, allowing him to lead out. I stepped out, enjoying my own space on the floor. The lights were low and matched my mood, soft and heady. Very few people were still around. We started dancing slowly, quite a distance away from each other, as if the awkwardness of the situation was keeping us apart. Even the song was not of a great help.
Chahta kitnaa tumko dil tum nahin jaantey
Kya hai mere dil ki mushkil tum nahin jaantey
Aisa ehsaas dhadhkan mein kabhi pehle ne jaaga tha
Chahta kitnaa tumko dil tum nahin jaantey
Kya hai mere dil ki mushkil tum nahin jaantey
For the first few moments, we looked anywhere but at each other. Then, suddenly Kunwar broke the silence.
"so...how was your night?"
"fine.." I said softly. It was true. I did have a good time. Most of my enjoyment seemed to come from his reacting to my dancing with others, although I wouldn't admit that to him.
"How was yours?"
"Active" he said with a bit of laugh. "But I suppose you noticed that."
"What?" I asked quickly, somewhat amused.
"I just meant you were watching me all night. You thought I wouldn't notice?"
I shook my head a bit. "what does that have to do with anything?"
"I'm just saying...anyone would see your jealousy..."
"Jealousy?" I cut him off, a bit more abruptly than I should have but he just grinned as I blushed a bit." Wh-what about your jealousy when I danced with others?"
I managed to stutter, smiling a bit as I watched him blush as well.
Everyday you wanna do is
Put your lips Just kiss, Place, Is this
Feeling of Togetherness Right
Here, Right now
Its where We are Girl
Its feeling like Caring is so Beautiful
The Smile upon your Face is Magical
I Pray to God ke
Come to Me, Come to Me Now
Bcoz Girl You are My Destiny
"Well..." he just let his voice trailed off, a silence hung over as again the slow music echoing through the mostly empty room. I noticed as Kunwar, in one swift moments, placed his hand behind my back and pulled me closer to him, while I reactively pulled him close to me by the shoulders, my hands having minds of their own. There was only a small space between us now.
Tumse mili is tarah se nazar
Mein hosh mein hi raha bekhabar
Tumse mili is tarah se nazar
Mein hosh mein hi raha bekhabar
Our eyes then met for the first time through our dance, and we just looked at each other, smiling. Right then it wouldn't even matter if music were still playing. We were basically dancing to the mixed beating of our hearts that was so amazingly audible right then.
Chha gaya, chha gaya ajnaabi sa nasha
The moment grew in awkwardness, at least for me, when I trance out from ARSHALAND, so I looked up at his eyes again sadly, sighing softly. Then I felt a light hand on the side of my face as he gently turned me to look at him again "Shakti, you look absolutely stunning in anything." If neither of us were blushing before, we definitely were now.
Chahta kitnaa tumko dil tum nahin jaantey
I sensed him, as he got closer. Felt his arms go around me, pulling me into the warmth of his body, as his movements began to match my own. Then he stopped and turned me around. I opened me eyes and looked at him.
Kya hai mere dil ki mushkil tum nahin jaantey
Aisa ehsaas dhadhkan mein kabhi pehle ne jaaga tha
His hands came up gently to grasp my own, raising it to shoulder level as he spread his fingers and entwined them into mine; both of us looking at the result of his actions. He moved his other hand, slowly as he extended his arm to encircle my back.
Is Zindagi ka sabab maan loo
Sajda karoon tumko rab maan loo
I could feel each of his fingers, pressed warmly and strong into my back, as the expanse of his palm drew me closer to him.
Keh raha, keh raha saanson ka silsila
Involuntarily, my hand lifted coming to rest on his arm, travelling upward as it explored the contours of his muscles, before moving up his shoulder and around his neck.
Palko me tum, meri neendon mein tum
Mere khwabo main tum, bas tum
Yaadon mein tum, mere waadon mein tum
Meri aati jaati saansom mein ho tum
My thighs pressed against his muscle, as he held me against him, firmly in place. His feet began to move and mine followed with ease. My eyes locked on his.
As we moved, I got the sense, the way he held me, that he was never going to let me go and I closed my eyes, bent my head to his shoulder and felt safe in him.
Chahta kitnaa tumko dil tum nahin jaantey
Kya hai mere dil ki mushkil tum nahin jaantey
Inhaling deeply, I took into the smell of Kunwar, and smiled to myself at the familiarity of his scent, even in the midst of this unfamiliar, yet undeniably right atmosphere.
As Kunwar turned his head slightly to rest on mine, I realized that our forever was just about to begin. It was almost like we were made for each other. We were two halves of a whole- SOULMTES.
My heart beats got faster, and the space between us became filled without me realizing it, although I didn't mind. Being this close to him was both strange and amazing.
Aisa ehsaas dhadhkan mein kabhi pehle ne jaaga tha
My mind was racing with confusing comments as both of us simultaneously closed our eyes and moved closer to fill that space that has desperately wanted to be filled for so long. I could feel his warm breath on my lips, its sweet scent absolutely intoxicating. As we were about to fill those last few cms, I heard an unfamiliar voice.
"The dance is over"
I was ready to be freezed at that moment at whatever was going to happen between us. Kunwar gulped and backed away from me. He flashed me a nervous half-smiled and headed towards the exit, rubbing the back of his neck again.
I stood in the centre off the floor, freezed, staring at the place that Kunwar stood just moments ago, my eyes drifting to the exit.
[Amar's POV]
Amar what were you up to? You were just about to kiss Shakti...why? Now what will she think about me? Chill dude! Relax this is what you wanted, right. You had some strange feelings for her and what is wrong in that if u inquire about her feelings too. And I think she also feels the same as you do because this is not the way you dance with your friend. We had done so many dance performances together, we were close, but this clutching, desperate embrace, this needy, shaky swaying to music that you can't hear anymore. Friends are not supposed to dance until her front body is pressed up against your chest, or until your arms encircle her slim waist completely. Friend's faces aren't supposed to be buried in each other's shoulders when they dance like this. There is no place of jealousy. Friends aren't supposed to know every moment, every shift of feet, and every slide of dress. Every gentle, hidden gasps between her bare shoulder blades. Friends aren't supposed to pull in the fresh, warm scent of each other's with this kind of desperation. They aren't supposed to fly and close their eyes. This is what love is which she needed to know. This is my love which has come along and now its her turn to realize.
That's it...😃
I hope you are satisfied with the lenghth and quality😛
For reviews...keep them coming😉
Luv
Mania😊
