"thnx rahil fr a wunderful evening."nethra said , keeping hand on his heart and standing close to him while in they entered d room.
it ws late. 1.30...they wr sleepy bt at the same time were not.their close proximity ws d reason.as if the things startd happening on their own...she dragged him out to d balcony.it ws dark n silent bt d moon ws giving them enuff light to see each oder...
baadlon mein chhup raha hai chand kyu,
apni husn ki zaya se puchh lo,
chandani padi hua hai maand kyu,
apni hi kisi ada se puchh lo...
baadlon mein chhup raha hai chand kyu,
apni husn ki zaya se puchh lo,
chandani padi hua hai maand kyu,
apni hi kisi ada se puchh lo...
she askd looking at d b'ful moon who ws playing hide n seek wid dem , hiding behind a cloud.n he answered her back , holding her frm behind.they both looking at d moon.
meri hasraton pe bekhudi se chha gayi,
tumko dekh kar nigaah ladkhada gayi,
meri hasraton pe bekhudi se chha gayi,
tumko dekh kar nigaah ladkhada gayi,
nigaah ladkhada gayi,
nigaah ladkhada gayi,
nigaah ladkhada gayi...
ho raha hoon mein nashe mein chur kyu,
jhoomti hui faza se puchh lo,
ho raha hai ye suroor kyu,
meri zulf ki ghata se puchh lo...
she said swaying in the slowly flowing wind.he came forward , held her hands , then travelled his hand , to her shoulder n then playing wid her long black hair.
baadlon mein chhup raha hai chand kyu,
apni husn ki zaya se puchh lo,
chandani padi hua hai maand kyu,
apni hi kisi ada se puchh lo...
door mujhse gham hai aur khushi kareeb hai,
aaj mera pyaar kitna khushnaseeb hai,
door mujhse gham hai aur khushi kareeb hai,
aaj mera pyaar kitna khushnaseeb hai,
kitna khushnaseeb hai,
kitna khushnaseeb hai,
kitna khushnaseeb hai,
jhoomta hai mera ang ang kyu,
apni ruuh ki sada se puchh lo,
baj rahe hain dil mein jaltarang kyu,
geet chhedti hawa se puchhlo....
they were hugging each oder , her head buried in his chest h his head buried somewhere around her neck.they remained there fr some time.
baadlon mein chhup raha hai chand kyu,
apni husn ki zaya se puchh lo,
chandani padi hua hai maand kyu,
apni hi kisi ada se puchh lo...
[movie:fir teri kahani yaad aayi.]
they slowly came back to their room.he made her sit on the bed n he himself settled next to her , eyes locked , slowly the distance ws lessening....heart beating faster , eyes closed...hands travelling to neck...lips coming closer every second...more seconds...few more...n...his hold lossened...she opened her eyes.....
he sat their looking glum..n damn upset.nethra ws suddenly worried seeing him like this.she put her hand on his cheek.he looked towards her...his eyes said that saomething ws wrong....wat??then again looked down.he knew the question in her eyes...bt he said nothing.he remembered how he kissed asmi...n he had a sudden pain in his heart...he relived all d pain...6 yrs in few seconds...y??
"rahil , kya hua??"
he walked away frm there near d window , staring the moon...the same moon they were admiring few minutes b4....he started remembering b'ful time he had wid nethra....at her home...time wen he missed her...at restaurant...and then..wen he ws close...so close..wt he ws doing...he needed to tell her everything.the load of grudge he carried ws becoming heavier every secon now...he had to let out d past...past abt him n asmi...bt is this d right time...he thot...bt sometime he has to tell....he turned..n saw her standing....worried...upset..he knew he ws punishing her of nothing.she is his wife n has every right to feel him...he too wantd...to touch her , feel her....kiss her...
he ws nt able to make his mind...now or some oder time...some oder time he made a mental note to tell her soon.
"sorry nethra!!"he said.
"par..hua kya??"she demanded an answer.
"bataunga...zarur bataunga...aur bohot jald...par is waqt mujhe maaf kar do."
she smiled...
"i will wait!!"
