Ok. I never thought I will ever write OS but then I did. After that I never thought I will write second that too this soon but here I did it again. I can't help my imagination since the moment I saw the precap. So here I penned down my feelings, my imaginations over TaaRey first date.
Waiting… waiting for someone is most tiresome thing one could ever want to experience. And this waiting process seems more difficult and hateful when you are impatiently waiting for the one you love the most in the world. At such times every single progress of minute seems like ages has been gone. Just the way Reyansh Singhania was feeling right now. He glared at the door for like millionth time as if the door will generate her, fearing his glares.
"kaahaa ho tum Taani?" he mumbled while pulling out his cell phone from his pocket. He has called her on terrace to meet her. He checked the time again; it was not like she was late. No! He was early. But then what could he do? it was their first date after all. After going through the most hurtful and painful separation, he just wanted to keep close her, very close. He just wanted to spend each and every moment of his life with his love.
Just when he was about to dial her number a soft wave of breeze whispered her arrival in his ear, making him close his eyes. He sighed in automatic relief which surrounded him just with her presence. Rey turned to her direction and opened his eyes. His breath must have stuck in his throat as soon as she came in his sight. Gorgeous, mesmerism, and angelic were not the words to do justice to her appearance.
Taani stopped in tracks feeling his gaze on her. She was still not used to this awed look he gives her, just like she was most precious, most beautiful in the world. She still can't grab the reason for that look on his face, it's not like she has changed or something. She was just the same she has been when she first time met him. She pushed the lock of her hair behind her ear nervously, while the scarlet blush colored her cheeks with finesse.
Rey felt himself moving towards her involuntarily. Such was the effect she has on him that not just his eyes, his heart but his legs too start walking in her direction. He breathed in the sweet aroma of hers, standing right in front of her.
"Tum bohot bohot pretty lag rahi ho" he heard himself mumbling. He knew the compliment was not anywhere near the way she was looking to him. But it was quire decent enough to do justice to her beauty because he can't seem to find any word in the world, which could actually explain how extraordinarily beautiful she was looking.
Taani felt the growing warmth not just in her heart, her every core but also in her cheeks too, which have turned into darkest shade of red by now. She looked down nervously, never in her life she felt this way. She dreamt of being with Rey-her prince charming- but never in her wildest dream had she thought he would be this romantic.
Rey spared his hand gently to rest it on her cheek, making her look up. He sighed in relief starring at those big round chocolate brown eyes. He was getting so impatient to read her emotions through her ever expressing eyes. He knew Taani was never comfortable in addressing him about her feelings. He still remembers how she confessed her feeling to him for the first time in fire exit. She wouldn't have said anything if he wouldn't have asked her.
He still regretted the way he has hurt her feelings that day. But hurting her always hurt him more. He gently caressed her cheek, feeling the most weird kind of rush of feelings inside him. Feelings, so powerful with its possession absolute over him. He just wanted to snatch her for everyone and hide her away in his heart, forever, where no one could come between them.
Suddenly he felt the warmth under his palm missing, as she took a step back and mumbled while looking away from him "yahaan itna andhera kyon hai?"
Rey noticed her nervous move and exhaled lightly. He knew his love was shying away from him. She was so refreshingly nave that always makes him wonder whether to laugh at her or hug her tightly assuring her. He knew he has to control this growing fierce possessive feeling under control, she was way to nave and innocent for that and smiled lightly at her.
"you will come to know that" he said before pulling out the black silk stripe from his pocket.
Taani spared her hand in her hairs, pushing them back gently and asked him confused "yeh kya hai?"
"Ye..." he paused to move behind her "yeah blindfold hai" he finished blindfolding her.
"But Rey…" Taani protested, to which Rey took hold of her shoulder and shushed her "no more talking, tum yahaan aaram se baitho. I'll be just back." he said before making her sit and rushed away from there.
Taani waited for like few minutes and was about to call him when she felt him taking hold of her shoulder "Rey aap kya kar raho?" she asked as he gently made her stand.
"ishhh…" he stopped her from saying anything keeping his finger on her lips. "Just trust me" he whispered pulling his finger back from her quivering lips.
After making her walk for like few steps he again moved behind her and pulled away her blindfold "now you can see" he passed enthusiastically.
Taani blinked few times and rubbed her eyes feeling the sudden brightness to clear her view. She took in a sharp breath seeing the scene in front of her. She fought with her sensed for few minutes to insure what she was seeing. The terrace area which was completely dark was now filled with the most colorful lights. Taani saw the rose petals on the floor and noticed she was actually standing over the rose petals.
So breathtakingly beautiful it was, but something else on the floor in front of her grabbed her attention and she took a step forward to see what it was. Her eyes filled with tears as soon as she saw the "I LOVE YOU TAANI" written beautifully with candles on the floor. It was way too overwhelming for her.
She looked back at Rey tearfully, who was looking back at her, capturing her every expression, her every emotion in his heart. Taani opened her mouth to say something "Rey" but he again shushed her "es se pehle ki tum kuch kaho mujhe kuch kehna hai" he claimed softly.
He slowly moved in front of her and continued looking right into her eyes "jab Kriya gayi" he paused for a second to see if she was uncomfortable with Kriya's mention but she was just looking at him, urging him to continue. He sighed in relief, she was way to mature than he gave her credit for "I was broken" he felt his voice stuck, remembering the most difficult period of his life.
Rey took a sharp breath "I never thought I will be in love again. Mujhe nahi lagta tha ki mujh me kisi se pyar karne ki himmat baki bhi hai. And trust me Taani, ager yeh pyaar karna, nahi karna mere haath me hota na toh shayad me kabhi kisi aur se pyar nahi kar pata. Maine apne friends ko hi apni life bana liya, yeh soch ke ki pyar mere liye nahi" he smiled painfully and shook his head "Maine apne dil ke darwaze itne jor se band kiye the ki I was sure koi wahaan nahi aa payega. But I was wrong, you proved me wrong. I never noticed you walking right through that door into my life, into my heart *pause* jab tum aayi toh I just thought you as my responsibility. Tumhari wajah se main dance se phir se juda, jo pata nahi main kabhi kar pata ya nahi."
His eyes filled with tears as he continued "jab tumne mujhe apne dil ki baat bataayi, I was shocked. I was not ready. Ek bar yeh pyar mujhe tod chukka tha I was not ready to break again. And then I hurt you" Taani heard the regret in his voice and shook her head in denial but Rey stopped her "no Taani I know. I know Maine tumhe hurt kiya. I was fighting Taani, every single day, every moment. I was fighting."
He paused for a brief moment "each time, each time I saw you with shivam… mujhe bilkul achcha nahi lagta tha. Yeh feeling ki tum mere saath kyon nahi ho hamesha mujhe pareshan karti thi. But apne aap se, tumse, apni feelings se ladta raha, taki main jo tumhare liye feel karta hoon main na karu. Hamesh tumse jhagda kiya, gussa raha tumse ki tum mere saath kyon nahi ho but nahi samja paya ki tumhara saath mere liye itna important kyon tha… nahi samjah paya"
He exhaled tiredly while emptying his heart to her "Taani mujhe… mujhe kabhi pata hi nahi chala ki kab tum life ke ek part se meri life ban gayi." Tears made their way out from both of their eyes. Taani kept her hand on her mouth to suppress her sob, feeling the rush of emotions while hearing him "feelings… feelings hamesh se thi Taani… hamesha se but realize? Realize nahi kiya. Realize nahi kiya ki main tumse… tumse pyar karne laga tha. Tum se baat karne ke bahane dhundta tha, chahe ladkar hi sahi."
He took hold of her shoulder "but now" he shook his head "I can't Taani main tumse dur nahi reh sakta… bilkul bhi nahi. I love you. I really really love you."
Taani closed her eyes as the tears blurred her view, she never knew the depth of his feeling and now hearing all this was like waking up from a long sleep filled with nothing but darkness. Darkness, which was now replaced with the bright colors of his love. She was not sure if she could ever tell him how much she loves him "main bhi aap se bohot pyar karti hoon Rey. hamesha se. mere liye toh pyar ka meaing hi aap ho. Aapke aalwa na toh kisi aur ke liye mere dil me koi jagah thi, na hai aur na hogi" she finished through her tears.
Rey sighed heavily hearing her words and smiled in satisfaction while the tears of happiness, tears of bliss flowed their way down. He cupped her face with both of his hands and they both kept starred at each other for a moment and hugged each other tightly, leaving in the blissful union, surpassing all the differences, all the pain, all the hurt aside. They parted from hug and she opened her eyes hearing him…
"Promise me Taani… promise me ki tum kabhi bhi kabhi bhi mujhe chodkar nahi jaogi" he forwarded his hand "tumhare bina nahi ji paunga Taani" he confessed defeated "so promise me ki chahe kuch bhi ho jaye tum hamesha mere saath rahogi. Promise me Taani"
Taani nodded her head, looking at his outstretched hand and was about to keep her hand in his when suddenly his cell phone ranged up. Rey closed his eyes cursing the caller and excused himself.
Taani wiped of her tears while he ended the call. Boys were not going to let him live happily, thought Rey. They were planning some boys' night out and wanted him to join too. He quickly made some excuse and cut the call "sorry" he mumbled while pushing his mobile back in his pocket.
Taani smiled at him a little and both of them started stealing glances at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Rey"
"Taani" both mumbled at the same time and smiled at each other "actually tumhari liye ek aur surprised hai"
"Surprise?" Taani asked confused, to which Rey nodded and pulled out a rectangular red velvet coated box in front of her. Taani took the box from him "es me kya hai?" she asked amazed, the day was certainly turning out be the bestest day in her life.
Rey raised his brows at her "khol ke dekh lo"
Taani smiled and opened the box "yeh" she looked at Rey baffled.
"Like it?" he asked anticipating her answer.
"Hmmm" she mumbled sparing her hand on the beautiful anklet "it's beautiful" she spoke after a moment of silence as she admired his beautiful gift.
Rey saw her admiring the anklet and smiled in satisfaction "May I?" he asked her forwarding his hand.
Taani smiled at him and placed the box in his hand. Sitting down on his knees, Rey made her wear the anklet. Taani kept looking at him during his proceedings, lovingly. She certainly was the luckiest girl in the world. She was touched. This evening was forever sheltered in her heart. It was the bestest moment of her life, when she was with her life. Finishing his task, Rey looked up at her and pointed at her legs with his eyes, waiting for her assurance to which Taani smiled and shook her leg making it chime its twinkling rhythm.
Rey smiled at her gesture. He stood straight before asking her for dance "may I have the pleasure to dance with most beautiful girl in the world, love of my life, center of universe?" Taani smiled at him and placed her hand happily in his.
Mere bina main rehne laga hoon
Teri hawa mein behne laga hoon
Jaane main kaise, tera hua hoon
He pulled her in his arms and placed both of his hands on her waist while she kept hers on his shoulder.
Mujhe toh lagta hai main shayad tere dil ki dua hoon haan
Tujhko jo paaya aha
Toh jeena aaya
Ab yeh lamha thehar jaaye tham jaaye bas jaaye hum dono ke darmiyaan
Tujhko jo paaya aha
Toh jeena aaya
Ab yeh lamha thehar jaaye tham jaaye bas jaaye hum dono ke darmiyaan
He twirled her around and pulled her back in his arms, resting his forehead on hers.
Pehle se zyada
Main jee raha hoon
Jabse main tere, dil se jura hoon
Raahon pe teri, main toh chala hoon
Tu meri manzil hai tere kadmon pe bas rukne laga hoon haan
He circled her and took hold of her from behind, touching his cheek with hers. Taani closed her eyes, while Rey also did the same, losing themselves to the blissful moment.
Tujhko jo paaya (tujhko jo paaya) aha
Toh jeena aaya (jeena aaya)
Ab yeh lamha thehar jaaye tham jaaye bas jaaye hum dono ke darmiyaan
Tujhko jo paaya (tujhko jo paaya) aha
Toh jeena aaya
Ab yeh lamha thehar jaaye tham jaaye bas jaaye hum dono ke darmiyaan
Rey slowly opened his eyes and pushed her hairs away from her shoulder, leaving her neck exposed to him. He kissed the sensitive skin of her neck and trailed the tip of his nose along the path of her neckline, smelling in the intoxicating smell of hers.
Teri nazar mein nayi si adaa hai
Naya sa nasha bhi ghula hai
Kayi dino se bandha tha baadal jo
Tere hi baalon mein khula hai
Taani suddenly felt shy and tried to move away from him but Rey stopped her holding her hand.
Teri haddon mein, meri basar hai
Ab tujhe bhi, jaana kidhar hai
Jahan rahe tu, main woh jahan hoon
Jise jiye tu, main woh samaa hoon
Teri wajah se, naya naya hoon
Pehle kaha na maine ab ye tumse kehne laga hoon
Taani looked towards him blushingly as he pulled her towards him, making her clash in his chest. Blushing feverously Taani hugged Rey. Rey smiled at her shyness and hugged her even more tightly and the evening proceeded as they swung to the beautiful rhythm of the song.
Tujhko jo paaya (tujhko jo paaya) aha
Toh jeena aaya (jeena aaya)
Ab yeh lamha thehar jaaye tham jaaye bas jaaye hum dono ke darmiyaan
Tujhko jo paaya (tujhko jo paaya) aha
Toh jeena aaya
Ab yeh lamha thehar jaaye tham jaaye bas jaaye hum dono ke darmiyaan
"hamari first date" Rey suddenly spoke up, making Taani look up at him. They were sitting calmly in each other's arms when he spoke "hamari first date is terrace per" he looked down at Taani "hamari last meeting yahaan remember?" he smiled painfully "tab socha bhi nahi tha ki hum kabhi hum ban payenge."
Taani also remembered that meeting, what if it really had been their last meet? She shuddered at the thought "Rey please main us time ko yaad bhi nahi karna chahti"
Rey looked at her face gently and placed his hand on her cheek "aur main wo time kabhi nahi bhulunga because us time mujhe realize hua ki tum mere liya kitni important ho, ki tumhare bina main kitna incomplete hoon, usi time ne mujhe realize karwaya that I loved you" he whispered the last bit softly, conveying his feeling more through his eyes than his words. Taani smiled at him and rested her head on his chest, closing her eyes. Rey too pulled her close and closed his eyes, resting his head on hers; life could never get better for him.
They were still lost in there heavenly world when a thought stuck Taani "Rey" she called.
Rey hugged her more tightly "hmm" he mumbled without bothering to open his eyes.
"Rey aapne bhai ko hamare bare me bata diya?" as soon as the words came out of Taani's mouth Rey's eyes flew open and he remembered his last meeting with Swayam.
"Tum aur Taani saath milkar kaam karoge toh leakage aur badhega" he remembered Swayam's words and exhaled tiredly. How was he ever going to tell Swayam about his and Taani's relationship????
"Swayam????" was the last word that kept circling in his mind.
