Sama took her to the library and they did some notes. Sama kept on noticing Sia's expressions...she was thinking about something and smiling to herself.
Great going Rags...we are on track!
When their work was over Sama said Sia to go to the classroom, she will come later.
Sama: aur haan Sia...Music room ke pass se jana...Juno shayad wahi hoga...use tujhse kuch baat tha!
Sia: thik he.
A petal fell...a rose petal...a red rose petal...
She could feel their soft touches on her face, her neck, her shoulder, her arms...every touch reminding her of him! Finally when she opened her eyes she saw that there was a letter also.
She took it and opened it
Mene rulaya to he...
Par smile bhi la diya he tumhare face par...
Just like last time...
Par iss baar yeh smile ko mitne nahi dunga...
Sia looked around...kya wo yahaan kahi he? varna use kaise pata ki me smile kar rahi hoon!
Sia looked at the letter again...something was written at the bottom
Idhar udhar mat dekho...apne dilme dhundho...me shayad waha par hoon!
Sia blushed reading the last lines...her heart was beating fast... but this time there was no pain.
She wondered where will she get the next letter...but more importantly what will be written in it!
After the class Gurmeet asked her to help him in some work. Sia carried some old text books to the store room with Gurmeet. They were passing by the Hall...when Sia saw a letter...lying at the Hall's entrance. She stopped and took it. She opened it quickly...
Apne dil ke baat to keh chuka hu me...
Iss letter pe aur kya likhu...
Ab sirf tum bologe...
I will be waiting for you...
Sia folded the letter and held it close to her heart... her eyes had moistened up...
Bhagwan...please...yeh koi prank nahi ho...please please!!!
She quickly put the books on the store room and said
"Gurmeet me ja rahi hoon!!"
Gurmmet: par Siaji!! Aapko pata he ki kaha jaana he??
Sia smiled and said
"Haan mujhe pata he kahaan jana he"
She memorized all that was written in those letters...pehle rulana...canteen par...taang karna...class me...pehla smile karana...corridor par...aur phir Hall me...propose...and now ...she was almost there!
She took a step forward and...
And this time she entered there!
She was surprised to see no decorations...no music...nothing...and then...
There was a board...and there were pictures on the board...many pictures...pictures of Sia ...her memories...with Gauti..with Arjun...Sama, Taniya,Wadda and Nikka, Gurmeet, Coach, Mamaji, Rangeela, manager...and with Raghav!
Sia saw them all...each one of them carefully...taking time...touching the pictures as she moved on...memorizing each of the moments and feeling them again!
Mere life itna khoobsurat he? mujhe kabhi pata hi nahi chala...
There was a note at the end of the board
There was a letter lying below. She picked it up and opened it...
Yahaan par tumne mujhe punch kiyatha...it didn't matter
Yahaan par tumne mujhe ditch kiya tha...it didn't matter
Par ab jo tum answer doge...
That will matter...
...PUSHPA
A tear drop ran down her cheek and fell on the letter...but Sia was not crying...she was overflowing with emotions.
She held the letter close to her heart...trying to calm down her now super fast beating heart!
She closed her eyes and just uttered one word softly
'Raghav'
She felt a hand on her shoulder...it was a familiar touch.
He turned her towards him and said
"Pushpa..."
Sia opened her eyes and looked at him...Raghav Oberoi! Elite's coolest dude...boxing champion...prankster...rich...irritating...Raghav!
Sia couldn't say anything.
Raghav couldnot understand why was she crying...did she expect someone slse...but then she wouldnot have come here!
"Pushpa...tum...kuch toh bolo...tum ro kyun..."
Sia hugged him.
Her head on his chest...her arms around him...she held him tightly...she went on crying.
Raghav was surprised at her reaction. He held her... but was alarmed.
Pushpa...kya hua? Tum kyun ro...
"Haan Raghav..."
Raghav couldnot understand what she was talking about.
'Pushpa...tum..."
"Ha Raghav...meri answer haan he"
A wide smile spread over his face...Pushpa ne Haan kahi he...she said Yes...that means...that means...that she loves me!
Raghav now embraced her fully...holding her as close as possible to him...without any tension...without any hesitation...without any guilt...just with love!
He closed his eyes...wishing that she stays like this in his embrace ...always!
Then he placed his hand on her face. He made her look at him...she was beautiful...as always...but her eyes were moist...as always!
He smiled and wiped her tears and said
"Pushpa...tum abhi bhi ro rahe ho...par kyun?"
Sia: mujhe pata nahi...anshu bandh nahi ho rahe he...
Raghav now smiled more and said
"Tumhare naam Pushpa mene sahi dia tha! Dekho tum kitne ro te ho...ab to bina baat ke bhi ro rahe ho!"
Sia pushed Raghav away. She wiped her eyes...stupid tears!
Raghav continued to smile. He hated tears in her eyes...but this time it was different...he knew that they were tears of happiness...meant only for him!
Sia wiped her eyes...she was feeling alright now...ALRIGHT??!!
She just said Yes to Raghav! She just accepted the thing that she loves him! How can anything be alright now?
Sia looked at Raghav. Raghav was still smiling.Sia wondered what will happen next?
"Sia...I love you...and I want us to be together...always", he paused and then said," kya tum mujhse pyaar karte ho?"
She tried to smile and said
" Raghav...me iska answer haan tabhi dungi...jab tum yeh pura line...Pushpa keh kar bologe!"
Raghav grinned. He was enjoying the fact that she was pulling his leg. He again said
"Haan Raghav...I love you too!"
Raghav was about to hug her when he suddenly stopped himself and said
"wait Pushpa! Humare love track ko age barane se pehle...kuch important kaam he"
And he took out his cell phone and called someone.
Sia was surprised at his behavior...is waqt kise phone kar raha he?...just like Raghav...kabhi bhi kuch bhi karta he!!
Raghav: Juno?!
Sia was surprised even more on hearing the name! Arjun! Wo Arjun ko bol raha he? ab to sab ko pata chal jaega!
Raghav: haan Juno...she is here...aur uski answer...YES HE !!!
Sia could hear a loud and long shout from the phone...matlab sab wait kar rahe the answer sun ne ke liye...sab ko pata chal gaya!
Raghav looked at Sia...she was standing there...very embarrassed!
Raghav: Juno tumse baat karna chahta he Pushpa!
Sia: Nahi! Me baad me baat kar lungi!
How will she face her friends now? Sama to waise bhi dimaag ka dahi karti he..Raghav ko lekar...aur ab..? Arjun kya sochega? Ki Sia jis Raghav se tum itna hate karte the...usi se pyaar kar baithe? Nahi nahi! Me bilkul baat nahi karungi!
Sia saw Raghav saying something to Arjun...she heard him say "Bye". She relaxed a bit...chaalo acha he...Arjun se abhi baat nahi karni padegi! Then suddenly a thing struck her...Raghav's last line!
Humare love track ko age barane se pehle...
Love track ko age barane ka matlab??
She suddenly noticed that the Gym doors were closed! Yeh kisne kiya?
Zarror baki dosto ne!!
