THings have kinda calmed down between Gauri and Shiv, although the MM incident has not been mentioned or spoken about..
On the sofa, lost in thought, Gauri is jus turning the pages of a magazine , staring ahead...
The sound of rain drops on the window pane, startle her and she smiles, and heads towards the window... the radio playing FM in the background...
A lil spring in her step.. she goes to balcony and steps in ... enjoying the drizzle against her face... all the sadness , dripping away , she smiles and giggles... playing with the rain drops... , doing the twirls , she loved to do... like old times with sis...
Unpredictable , as the bombay rains are, the drizzle stops and she still smiling steps back and freshens up ... and the weather outside seems perfect, the setting sun, colouring the sky a lovely deep orange red..., the cool gentle afterbreeze... blowing ..
Dressed in a lovely lime green saaree.. Gauri absentmindedly plays with the radio , changing channels and stops at the channel playing the song "Tumhi dekho na..", and almost , without control, springs on her heels doing the twirls....and humming the song... a lovely smile spread on her lips, she dances on... slowly , her eyes closed.. imagining a dream come true...
Unaware of the time, she goes on.. lost in the song and music...
Shiv , back from work , about to barge in, notices her dancing and almost immediately stops in his tracks... and making no noise , stands at door watching her an amused , and a surprised look , while she dances on... immersed in reverie...
The song ends breaking her reverie and Gauri stops jus as gently as she started slowly turninng around stull smiling... while Shiv is standing watching her , when she suddenly stops.. midway, fiddling her hair, noticing him... terribly embarassed ... not daring to look up...
Shiv walks up to her.... and jus as he nears her... starts whistling the song and walks past and behind her towards the balcony....watches the sun set... and then looks back at Gauri, a smile escapes his lips and he goes on whistling...
Gauri, almost suddenly breaking out of the moment, turns round to see him and jus as they stare at each other... turns round and runs out of the room..
While Shiv smiless.... replaying her dance.. in his mind.. surprised.. at himself...
