CHAPTER ONE : Kaise Bataun Tujhe
He woke up sharp at 5 in the morning and stared outside his window. A smile came up on his face as the sun came out from the clouds!
This was his daily routine to get up early in the morning stare at the rising sun and at night he used to stare at the stars before going to sleep!!
The day in between was never planned , he met new people , made them happy and got happy seeing their smiling faces.
His music always had the power to make people forget all their worries and groove along with him!
"Sid.." a girl's voice came from the entrance of his house , he at once knew the storm had come.
He combed off his hair and quickly wore his jacket in a hurry. He ran out of the house and looked at her from top to bottom with an annoyed look!
"What are you wearing Misha?" he asked seeing her floral dress which made her look like a hippo.
"Doesn't it look nice? I wore it for you!" said Misha happily flaunting it moving from left to right.
Siddharth just turned to the opposite side and ran back in the house at full speed. Misha stood looking inside taken aback by his reaction!
"Uhh I had forgotten the keys of the bike!" said Siddharth holding the keys up and smiling.
"Buhbye!" said Misha getting off the bike while Siddharth raced away without caring to look back.
He got down mid-way and went to his buddies , he sang for them and they danced with him.

"Sid man!! You are late again?" Mike asked in a hushed tone.
"Dude you know na , my kids?" Siddharth said reminding Mike of his buddies.
Siddharth loved the kids of the Cancer Institute more than anyone in this world. He had hope that if he made them happy they would not feel lonely in their last days!
He worked in "PIZZA HUT" and was a very lively guy. He kept all pleased and his motto was to give as much love as he could!!
The store was about to close , it was 11 at night when someone walked in.
"Man I'll leave okay? Who is this?" Mike asked suddenly seeing someone entering the outlet with a mask on face.
"You don't worry I'll handle!" said Siddharth looking at the weird person standing at the gate.
"Dude beware , maybe its a thief.." whispered Mike in his ears playfully.
"Shut up.." Siddharth pushed him out laughing and walked towards the stranger!
"Hello.. What may I get you?" asked Siddharth bending forward in the most polite manner.
"Shouldn't you be closing by now?" he heard a girl's voice from behind the mask and was surprised.
"Uhh miss , I believe you shouldn't keep someone waiting for food , shelter and health care!" Siddahrth said in a clear voice.
"I am impressed..Okay I would like a Cheese pizza please!" the mystery girl said.
Siddharth went back inside and came back with a cheese pizza , she signalled him to sit by her!
He took the invitation and eyed her curiously , he could see her hazel eyes which were so pure that he could not help himself from staring at her!
"Miss , may I ask you why are you wearing this mask?" Siddharth asked in a gentle-manly manner.
"Do you think I am kind of a murderer or something? Serial-killer?" she asked leaning in and he could feel her smirk.
"On the contrary I thought you might be someone famous, you know trying to hide from the world?" he contemplated what he was thinking in his mind.
"You are really some guy haan? Well you guessed it right!" Roshni said impressed , removing her mask to unveil her face.
"You are.." he stammered the first time in their conversation deviating from his cool behaviour.
"The SILENT ROCKSTAR!" she completed for him and smirked proudly.
"Wow I didn't know I am sitting with my inspiration and trying to impress her only." he said smiling at his stupidity and scratching his head.
She smiled at this strange but cute-looking guy and then put up a frown on her face.
"Don't call me inspiration and all yaar! Sounds like I am an oldie." she rolled her eyes and he laughed at that.
"Okay okay but I absolutely love your singing." he said honestly praising her.
"Wait a sec , do you sing?" she asked forgetting the pizza for a while.
He nodded and she started eating the pizza again at full throttle. He thought she was uninterested to talk so he got up when she held his hand.
He looked back at her and she realized what she did , so she left his hand and both were awkward for a moment!!
"So ready?" she asked out of the blue and got up , he realized she had finished her pizza.
He bent forward to get the box and dump it in the garbage bin when she held his hand again.
This time Siddharth blushed , but fortunately for the darkness, she couldn't see.
"I'll do it , its mine!" she said and asked again , " Ready?" with an assuring smile.
"For?" he asked shaking his head not understanding what she meant to convey.
"Audition.." she said smiling at him, dumping the box in the bin and continued , "Umm the money!" she said handing him a note of 20 pounds.
"No no its not needed!" he said and then got confused thinking why he was saying no to her.
"Why?? Is this your store?" she asked taunting and handed him the money before exiting from there.
He saw her jacket lying on the chair , she seemed to have forgotten it. He collected it and closed the store!
"Uh your jacket." he handed it to her and continued , " Funny right?"
She looked up trying to gauge what was in his mind and he to clear her confusion said , " Funny how I have waited for one chance to sing but now I am unable to think of what song to sing."
"Simple , just close your eyes and decide.." she replied and closed his eyelids.

(Song: Kaise Bataun Tujhe)
Kaise bataaun tujhe ki dil mera kya keh raha
Rahe na faasle ye jo hai apne darmiyaan
Ho...
He looked at her and started singing from his heart. She was blown away by the innocence his singing had.
Kaise bataaun tujhe ki dil mera kya keh raha
Rahe naa faasle ye jo hai apne darmiyaan
He took his guitar out and continued , he circled all around her and sang on the lonely , deserted street.
Tere qareeb main ho sakoon
De de tu apni razaa
She was looking at him all the while , her eyes could not see anything else but him , could hear nothing except his mesmerizing voice.
Paas bithaaun ye zulf sanwaroon
Aur baahon mein le loon tujhe main
He started dreaming of touching her hair , playing with the strands of her hair. He imagined her sitting on his lap but his reverie was broken!!
Hai dil ki ye khwaahish
Ki sun le guzaarish
Aur de de tu khud ko mujhe
Ho ho...
It had started raining , she gathered herself and bidding goodbye to him went away while he bathed in the best shower of his life..
He sang spreading out his arms and later on went back home on his bike!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night Siddharth could not sleep even after looking at the stars. He was restless to see her again!!
Another thought was playing with his mind..Would she be feeling the same? Would she want to meet him?
She was taking out her jacket when she felt something in her pocket. She took it out and was surprised to see her note back!
"You keep it as the fees for my free audition , so your meal free. š!" a message was kept along with it.
She smiled thinking of that guy and the smiley attached with the message. Both of them were trying hard to let sleep overcome them but got up with a jerk realizing their stupidity.
"How dumb , I forgot to ask the name?" they both yelled at the same time in different apartments.
Siddharth didn't know her name because the silent rockstar had never told what her name was!
And Roshni didn't know because he was just another stranger to her , a stranger about whom she couldn't stop thinking!!
Although the distance between them , their status , their lives was immense but the heart does not consider it.
Does it??
