[Amar's POV]
It was a usual night, thought not those which used to be there when she was with me in my heart and I was ignorant. She was not talking to me. I tried my best to convince her but I think along with that night I ruined my friendship too. The door bell rang. I was sure it would be my annoying neighbour at this hour of time. I cursed him, god only knows how many times and went to open the door. But to my surprise, it was Shakti, looking different, no, not different but strange.
"I need to talk to you, Kunwar"
"Shakti please, I'm in no mood."
"No you have to…."
She pushed me inside, shutting the door after her. She could not walk properly.As I stood there watching her make an entrance that made time stand still. She made her way to me, moving through the room slowly and seductively. She was moving in time to the beat of the seductive music in the background. She had a soft smile that light up the room.
"Kunwar Amarjeet Singh! What were you doing? Missing me?" She giggled out, dropping her hands closer to my neck and trailing about my collar.
"Shakti, are you drunk?"
"Shhh.." she put her index finger on my lips in order to shut my mouth.
Her fervent gaze upon me had pushed me too far! I had to had her before this fierce desire burns me from the inside!' .My eyes trailed past the ridge of her nose, and located my designated location; her mouth. I took in every detail of her tempting lips and every small twitch of muscle that moved when she inhaled or exhaled. I nearly moaned at the thought of kissing those perfectly formed lips.
I let out a little yelp as my own thoughts consumed me yet again.She placed both hands on the sides of my face, and forced me to look into her eyes, those beautiful brown eyes. She smiled and brought her face next to mine. As her eyes burned through the windows of my soul, she hissed out a reply that sent shivers down my spine. "It's important Kunwar"
A sting of electricity hit me as our lips were on their path to release our souls. I felt emotions that didn't seem to be mine surge through me and dance around my own. Were these her emotions that were invaded me. All I know is that I can feel her and her essence seeping inside my body.
She was looking like an angel to grant my wishes that time. How badly I wanted this touch, she could never imagine. But this was not the time to drown in her innocent eyes, she had to come out of her drunken state.
"Wait you sit here, I'll get something for you." I jolted up.
I rushed to the kitchen to make lemonade which may prove as a boon in this situation.
"Ye lo…"
"Nahi….i want to talk to you…wo bhi abhi"
"No first you take it then only I'll listen."
She drank the liquid like a 5 year old school-going girl and smiled at me.
"Come…mein tumhe ghar chodke aata hu."
She stood like a wild cat who can anytime pounce on its prey "Shhh….bahut bolte ho tum, ab mein bolungi aur tum sunoge." With that she laughed insanely and I gulped hard. Situation was going over my head.
Shakti smiled down at me as she held her hand out to me, "Mere saath dance karoge?"
I looked up to her for a moment before I took her hand, "Alright". This was the best I could do, otherwise she would have raised this house on her head, though not literally.
So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and may be
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
Gently she slid my hand around her waist and pulled her against me, her left hand in my right, slowly we began to sway to rhythm of our heartbeats.
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
I breathed in the scent of her, so light and sweet yet so intoxicating. Her skin was soft and supple. I loved the way our body's seemed to fit together so perfectly and the feel of her legs swaying with mine. I closed me eyes as I fell into the moment.
Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze upon me
Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control
Are you with me now?
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
Shakti slowly leaned into me enjoying the feel my arm around hers. I was so warm, I bet she felt so safe in my embrace.
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Shakti didn't know exactly what was coming over her, was it the sway of our dance, her drunken state or my very close proximity, maybe, just maybe this was what it felt like so fall in love.
There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
How can it be
You're asking me
To feel the things you never show
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
I slowly moved Shakti's face to meet mine, when our eyes met, they seemed to lock, neither about to look away. Slowly I moved my gaze to her lips.

There's something missing in my heart
Our feet stilled, but we didn't separate. Instead I pulled Shakti closer, cupping her face, slowly. I lowered my lips to hers. A sudden stance and I realized what disaster could I've done. She was not in her senses, on top of it she didn't feel the same way as I did and I didn't want any of us to regret. I want our kiss to be special. The moment when we each hold the other's heart. *sigh* it was impossible.
I embraced her delicately in my arms and covered her on my bed. I kissed her gently at the edge of her lips.
[Light's off]
The wind howled madly at the windows of my flat, causing the glass panes to shudder.
"Kunwar…" Shakti wailed, frustration evident in her voice. Time to end of hangover and formation of bumpy head.
"Kunwar, I can't sleep." Shakti groaned and threw a pillow at me, still partially asleep.
I slurred "Shakti, so jao, mujhe bahut neend aa rahi hai."
"Wait…mein yahan tumhare saath …kaise?" she jolted up
"Early realization…kal raat ko meine apni izzat kaise bachayi hai, only I know….warna tum to apni us drunken state mein kya karti shayad tum bhi ni jaanti…got your answer…please ab mujhe sone do…goodnight" I chuckled a bit and laid down on the couch again.
She was quiet for the moment, may be trying to remember events transpired few hours back, but not for the longer time.
"Nahi tum utho, Kunwar, uthjao nahi to mein chillane lagungi." She warned
I can never judge her mood. When I didn't reply, she threw another pillow at my couch, causing me to grumble angrily and quite incoherently.
"Kunwar, mujhe walk pe jaana hai." She stated sincerely. A few moments passed before I answered….
"IT'S THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING! Shakti please so jao aur mujhe bhi sone do!" to which she replied
"But …ab tum jag gaye to hum chalte hai na" she smiled, jumping up from her bed and coming over to me; pulling the reluctant me by her right arm.
"I dun wanna" I whined angrily into my pillow.
"Kunwar, please…" she pouted.
"Tum bahut badmash ho." I pouted back.
"C'mon let's go out to the nearby park" she said; grabbing my hand and pulling me off the floor.
I sighed resignedly.
We headed to walk to eternity.
As we reached the grounds, the wind had become no more than a passing murmur. Purposefully, Shakti led the way to a familiar small pond by the park. She plopped down infront of the pond, joined by me later. We shared a companionable silence, staring out at the crescent moon reflecting on the water. I no longer minded so much that I'd been roused from bed at midnight. Shakti broke the airy stillness.
"Kunwar?" she asked tiredly, laying her head on my shoulder.
"Hmmm?" I replied, curious.
"Well…" she said, raising her head from my shoulder and nervously twiddling her thumbs.
"Say…" I smiled, facing her and locking her strands behind her ears which was covering her face, of which she blushed.
"Kunwar, if I told you something, something important, that you may or may not like…would you hate me?" she asked raising her eyes to meet mine. I was startled by the conviction.
"Of course not, I could never hate you." I said, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, my eyes now mirroring the solemnity of hers. She, however, blushed deeper, seemingly not reassured.
"Well…I….I like someone." She stuttered. My mouth fallen, still tried to convince myself to behave normally. I was in no mood to listen to her for what she had done with me in past few weeks. It was my head, my body and specially my heart. I can't resist, listening to her all friendship blabbering, towards me.
"Look Shakti, I know you don't love me, par aise to mat bo…" I was cut off, however, by a pair of soft lips chastely pressing against me. Slowly, the lips pulled away, leaving me dazed. It felt like I had another soul in my body and when the kissed ended, the other entity was ripped away. Leisurely, I opened my eyes, to see Shakti looking down east and embarrassed.
"Ye…" I whispered, trailing a finger across her tingling tips. She bit her lower lip.
"I... I… love you Kunwar." Shakti murmured, a single tear dripping down her perfect cheek, catching the moon's glow. This snapped me from reverie.
My hands snapped to Shakti's face, cupping it as I wiped away the tear with my thumb.
"I told you" I said, gently lifting her face to meet my gaze.
"But…mein kitni buri ho…you wanted to say something that day…par maine…"
"Shhh…." I silenced her by crushing our lips together in another, albeit much more heated, kiss.
Her eyes went wide, but eventually, she melted into the moment, wrapping her arms around my neck. After a few moments, we two reluctantly pulled away for air. I smiled at her, my eyes, met her eyes.
"So…Are we….?" She asked blushing.
"Yes, we are…" I smirked, pulling Shakti for a passionate hug.
And that's where we two fell asleep, warm within each other's arms, basking in the glow of moon.
[Next morning in room]
I sat on the edge of my bed and looked down at her sleeping face. She is so beautiful. A cup of coffee warmed my hands. She gave me that mug last month. We haven't known each other long, yet our connection was instant. Maybe it was our fate that tied us together in the beginning, but I never felt this way about anyone before. The morning light caught the aqua color, reflecting it like sparkles on her face. I reached over and sink my fingers into those waves, each soft strand brushing easily through my fingers.
I treasure moments like this- there is no way of telling when they would end. I shook my head, clearing the thoughts of future. I will live for this moment and others like it. I leaned over and kissed her smooth forehead. Her eyes fluttered open to smile at me. I smiled back.
