When we met
5 years ago that night came in my life but this is still fresh in my mind like it's just happened yesterday, my 18th birthday when I was in hostel, my roommates and closest friends gave me surprise at 12 am... all wake me up from my deep sleep, I was happy but cursing them too for ruining my sleep. They all were ready with a big n yummy cake, my whole room has only their screams... all shouted together- happy birthday arohi, muahhh... all hugging and kissing, I was actually feeling so special, we cut the cake and putting it on each other's face, we throwing pillows on each other and jumping on bed... when we stopped by tiring ourselves I looked at them and felt very emotional, my friends who put so much effort for making me happy as they know I was very upset since morning because my father didn't came to meet me, I requested him may times that I want to spend my day with u, I want to be with my father at the day of my birthday but as usual he has no time for me, because business is important than me for him he chosen to go Canada for his meeting not to come to meet me, I was crying and hiding my pain from them but they all noticed, I met with them just 6 months before when I got admission in this collage and entered in hostel but we became beasties in very short time. I looked at them with wet eyes and held them all in a group hug, said in a heavy voice thank u guys, thank u so much. my awesome friends simi, purvi, shefali and disha... all held me back in a tight hug then we broke the hug, simi said to me darling arohi itni jaldi thanks mat bolo because surprise abhi baki hai... I looked at them with raised eyebrows asked- what surprise guys? They were smiling but not saying anything then shefali took one of a wrapped box which they gave me as a birthday gift and opened it, my eyes were shining with happiness that have the beautiful chiffon navy blue thigh length dress with the matching high heels sandals, the dress was too beautiful, I hugged the dress and thanked them again, they said ok ab jaldi se isse pahan kar ready ho jao, we are going at the zing club... I was surprised to hear this but not pleasantly but fearfully, we were in the hostel, where no one allowed to go out after 9 pm and here my daring friends saying this at the late night at 12:30 am, I knew they all were very bold and fearless but going out like this... I said no guys how can we go, if warden come to know then we all will be out at the road. Purvi smiled and said oh my jaan, we are not kid anymore we are adults and this is the age of having fun, come on sweetheart, shefu and simi too joined her said yes arohi we want to enjoy today's day with fullest... disha too joined them yes arohi and dont worry about warden wo moti toh ghode bechke so gayi hogi aur jahan tak watchman ki bat hai use hum already 500 ki patti dekar bahar jane ke liye pta chuke hain so no tension at all...I asked them again are u sure guys we should go... shefu replied of course we should go arohi, you know na we always waited for this day, whenever we go to club, didn't get entry because of not being 18 or above, me simi, purvi and disha all are 18 we just waiting for your birthday finally when you turned 18 we all have a chance for party... now no more question and get ready fast...
We all got ready and looking like a 5 angles in a modern awatar, we all were so excited as it's our first time in Delhi when we were going for the party at the late night. We stepped out slowly from the gate so that nobody can catch or see us... when we reached on the road out from our hostel we all laughed loud... enjoying our first experience of breaking the big rule. The car was waiting for us outside which disha higher for going, we all sat on the car and reached to the club one last time we were doing touch up with our make ups and hairs, we all stepped out and were extremely excited, the lightning which is giving a dazzling look to the club, this time we are entering proudly as we had all right to get in... Looking around and praising the atmosphere of there, simi whispered wow guys this is called a real night life of delhi I loved it... disha said in a dreamy act... true shefu, see how many good looking boys are here, I also turned to the boys group and smiled to see my friends who were ogling them, I shook my head and sat at the bar counter, after few minutes simi, shefu, purvi and disha all gorgeous girls got handsome guys for dancing and left with them to the dance floor, purvi whispered in my ear to find a guys for myself as there are many hot boys, I smiled to her and said m fine you guys enjoy... she left with her new partner and I was going to try wine for the first time, I was taking sip and making different different funny face by their taste which was not liking by me, I wiped my mouth and ordered for vodka this time... a very hot boy starring at me from the last few minutes and may be enjoying my expression about drinks, he came to me when I was testing vodka and again kept it aside as again the taste was not good, he handed over a glass towards me, first I looked at him with questioning eyes, he said try this, I m sure u will like it, I passed a small smile and took a sip and that was actually nice, I smiled to him said thanks its very nice, what is this? He passed a very cute dimple smile said its coke...I felt embarrassed for hiding it I said yes I know... he asked this is your first time? I thought how do he know, I said no I came here many times as he can't catch this truth that m just 18 and this is my first time at the club, he said how can it be possible because I come here daily and never saw u here. I said may be u missed. He laughed no it's not possible that my eyes can miss a beautiful girl like u, I blushed to get his compliment, looked at him said yes you got me this is first time I came here...he said I knew it may be that's way u don't like the taste of drinks, I smiled yup they all are really horrible don't know how people enjoying it, that was hard for me to even gulp it. He was staring at me with smiling face as he enjoying my innocent answers, he asked well you are alone or with someone? I know what he was trying to ask that m alone or with any boy, I want to tease him but I also don't want to lose the chance to chat with a dashing guy, his chocolaty big eyes and the dimple smile on his face attracting me to him... I said m not alone; his smile was not as before he asked who? I pointed towards the girl group I m with them my friends... I saw relieve on his face, he asked your friends are dancing but u r not why? I was enjoying this so I also started with little flirting actually I didn't get a hot guy for dancing like them that's why, he asked and now? I said with a naughty smile yes but he never asked me for dancing, he forwarded his hand and I quickly held it, as if waited for this, we reached to the dance floor where the music was too loud, we both moving with the music, he held my hand and twirled me, when we were dancing my heals slipped and I fall on his chest my both hands were on him and his quickly wrapped his hands around me to save me from falling, I looked up at him and felt some spark on his eyes... a shining chocolaty eyes, I was mesmerized to his magical eyes, he pulled his hand back and asked are u ok? I nodded and smiled he asked want something to drink? I said sure and we came back from the dance floor, he gave me apple juice and took his bear... when he sipping his drink said in between btw you are very good dancer, I like your moves, I said thanks waise you are also a very nice dancer, he said yeah its just a effect of coming here daily... we both laughed and then stood silent, not I was saying anything not he. After some time he broke the silence said you know we are so stupid, I stopped sipping and asked what? He said yes ab dekho na, we know each other from last half an hour and still don't know each other's name, I thought yes he is right I slapped my forehead slowly and forwarded my hand hi I m arohi ahluwalia, he shook hand with me said I m arjun singhania, I thought "arjun" the name is equally hot like him. When he held my hand it feels so good... he said "arohi" nice name.
I was feeling so noisy there, and that was difficult to talk due to not listen to each other properly. He asked can we go out, I said ok... we went out and walking slowly with each other, everything was so right, I wanted to walk with him like this whole life... omg what m I thinking I know him only from last few minutes and started thinking like this, stop it arohi I hushed myself, he said slowly- arohi, my name was never sounds that good before I thought. I looked at him said hmm, he asked tell me something about you what u like, what not, what u doing?
I replied I m studying in BA second year, m basically from Mumbai but living here in hostel I like painting, dancing and singing...he said wow you like singing? I said yes do u? he replied I love it... then I asked ok tell me about you? he said hmm... I m in BE final year, I love to live life, want to enjoy every moment of it kyoki zindagi na milegi dobara, I said jumping that was my one of the favorite movies, he asked really mine too. We both were talking and sharing our thoughts, likes and dislikes...didn't realized the time he was very interesting and a full of life guy, I was not feeling like I met him today, it feels like I know him from very long time, why it's so comfortable to being with him, he asked so u and your friends came to the pub today for the first time any special occasion? I said yes it my birthday, he asked- really it's your birthday? Happy birthday arohi, wow its really nice we met in your birthday... I said yes, my best birthday I whispered slowly. When we were busy in talking suddenly started the rain.. we both ran under the tree for shelter, but when we reached there my legs slipped and again I fallen of him, he held me by one hand on my hand and one wrapped on my waist, I was clutching his shirt, when I looked up at his face we both let out a laugh, then a complete silence...he wiped a strained from my cheeks said you know what arohi you are gorgeous? I felt a shiver when his finger touched my cheeks and his compliment gossshhh I will die for these chocolaty eyes, his eyes were roaming all over my face, eyes, cheeks and lips, I was feeling my heart beats increasing as his hands were still on my waist, I was also looking at him, he pulled me little closer and I was not resisting him, we were very close to each other, his hot breath touching my face, my eyes were being heavy and I closed them, waiting to feel his lips on mine and he was about to touch my lips with his, but at the very wrong timing my phone rang, we came out from the trance I picked up the call- hello, oh ok am coming?
I looked at him who is also looking at me with puzzled look, I told him that I have to go back to the hostel before anybody come to know that we are out? He was looking sad I gave him a forced smile because I m also feeling the same, wishing that this night never end, turned to go then I felt a hand on mine, I looked down then him, he said arohi can I drop u? so that I can spend some more time with u? I nodded and messaged to my friends that I will come by myself, I don't know why I have so much faith on this stranger as fate made him for me, he was toxicant and effecting me badly... we walked back to the club where his car was parked. We were not talking to each other just a silence between us, don't know why but I love this silence too... just because I was with him. I felt cold from the effect of rain which was stopped but left the climate cold, I wrapped my hands on me, then he slipped off his jacket and covered my upper body, I looked at him smiling as saying thanks with my eyes, he opened the door for me and I get inside, he started the car and watching my image through the mirror, is he too effected by me as I? What he thinks about me, does he likes me? Oh god how I break this silence. Finally he said something; he asked the road of my hostel I told him the path and again the same silence... I looked at him and not looked to the other side as my eyes refused to see any other site accept him. He caught my eyes and looked back at me, I was started looking out from the window, when the car stopped I realized that we reached, I wanted to break all the watches of the world, why I have to go... I stepped out and turned to him said thanks... he smiled and drove away... I was feeling like cry why he left like this why he didn't say anything else, I reached to my room with heavy legs. I saw simi, purvi, shefu and disha were waiting for me in tension... when they saw me took a sigh of relieve said thank god arohi you came on time... oh girl you r wet go and change now... I went to the washroom and holding his jacket on my hands, I looked my image on mirror, why I am so sad, I met him today for the first time, stupid arohi forget it as a sweet dream, I hugged his jacket and a tear drop rolled from my eyes, I wiped it and came out after changing, when I came out found them all sleeping, why not afterall everyone tired, I lied on bed with closed eyes, trying to take some sleep, but that was far away from me, why I was feeling so restless... thinking about him, his eyes omg what was the magic on them, I tightly shut my eyes but again and again his face and his dimple smile moving front of me, I couldn't able to sleep, I got up and went to closet, picked his jacket and hugged, feeling his fragrance in it. Just then I felt something vibrating in it. I started searching in all pockets, when I slipped my hand under the last pocket I got a mobile phone ringing... I looked at that confused, is this arjun's mobile which he forgot in his jacket, I picked the call said hello in a slow voice, and heard a same hot and charming voice from other side... My heart jumped with happiness after hearing his voice... I controlled my smile and said again- hello arjun?
Yes arohi, u r still awake? I thought u were fast asleep.
No actually trying to sleep but...
The same thing happening with me.
I went to my bed lay down while talking with him, asked- why?
Don't know...can u tell me?
I rolled on bed lying with support of belly, I bit my lower lip, said How can I, you have to figure out by yourself, don't u?
Hmmm... may be, so what u were doing birthday girl before my call, I was calling u from last half an hour...
Oh sorry actually I placed your jacket in closet that's why.
Ok so how u took the call now.
Omg, what I answer him, I can't tell him that I was hugging his jacket and thinking to take with me while sleeping.
Arohi... arohi... are u there?
Yes I am, actually I was taking my teddy out from closet then I noticed something vibrating...
Oh ok
Well u forgot your phone? I think u missing it.
Hmmm... actually I m missing something else and I didn't forget this, I purposely left it in my jacket.
I smiled, why?
Don't u know, to talk to u?
Oh really? Then u can take my no.? but u not even said good night to me?
Arohi don't forget that was not night, the morning at 2:30 am.
Yeah I know but when people know that its time of sleep, they usually say good night.
Yup but I don't think any one of us were in mood of sleep.
Oh really? How do u know?
Just like that, well I hope u and your friends are safe n not caught by your warden.
I let out a laugh, no we are clever girl u know.
Yeah yeah n brave too...
Thanks, well my friends are in deep sleep now, hey U said u love singing so can u sing something for me as I am not feeling sleepy.
Oh that not fair, u will gone sleep after listening the song and what about me?
Hmmm... I think u r right, ok make a deal, today u sing for me and tomorrow I will sing for u.
Ok... so that u are sure that we both will have a sleepless nights again.
I bit my tongue to realize what I said. I said no but may be if this happen? Ok now start singing... I heard some noise like he was picking something, he kept his mobile on speaker and started huming... I noticed a mesmerize voice of playing the guitar, wow he can play guitar too...amazing but when he started singing my heart just skipped...
Baate kuchh unkahee se kuchh unsuni si hone lagi
kabu dil pe rha na hasti hamari khone lagi,
Vo vo... ho... hoo... shayad yahi hai pyaar shayad yahi hai pyaar.
Tu hi meri roshni hai tu hi chirag hai
Dheere dheere mit jayega halka sa dag hai
ye zahar bhi yun piya hai jaise sharab ho'.
Vo vo... ho... hoo... shayad yahi hai pyaar shayad yahi hai pyaar
Wowww... his voice was as magical as his eyes... someone help me to not fall for him
When he finished his song I clapped for him amazing arjun u r just awesome... I was feeling that I m listening someone professional.
Thanks arohi you know singing is not just my hobby but it's my passion, we all are part of a band where I m a lead singer and guitarist...hey can u come in our concert yesterday?
Concert!! Yes of course I would love to.
After that we both said bye to each other and hung up the phone...but my sleep is still away from me and my lips can't stop smiling...
Next day I got ready for going to attend his concert, but the main reason was to see him, only my heart know how I passed those hours' without him.
When I reached there, I messaged him, he told me to come on back stage, when I reached there he was busy in discussing the song. I felt little awkward when saw me came near smiling, thanks arohi... thanks for coming, I blushed and said thanks for inviting me...
The concert started when all girls screaming his name I was feeling very jealous, I paid my attention towards him, he too looking at me before starting... and passed a cute smile.
He said hello everyone today's show dedicated to someone very special...the birthday girl. When he said this my smile widen and all insecurities gone...
He started singing in his magical voice...
Dil ne tumko chhun liya hai tum bhi isko chuno na...
Khwab koi dekhta hai tum bhi sapne buno na
Dil ye mera tumse kuch kar rha hai suno na
Dil ye mera tumse kuch kar rha hai suno na
Dekh lo mausam kitna suhana hai
Pass aane ka ye koi bahana hai
Tanha tanha sama, Mahki mahki fiza kar rhi hai jo'. Suno na.
Dil ne tumko chhun liya hai tum bhi isko chuno na...
Khwab koi dekhta hai tum bhi sapne buno na
Dil ye mera tumse kuch kar rha hai suno na'
I was lost in his words; he was looking at me in every minute, when his eyes meeting with me, I was feeling that his every word was for me, M feeling myself the luckiest girl on earth.
After concert he took me with him at their practicing hall, where his friends were waiting with cake and the surprising thing was that my friends were also there, I cut the cake and thanked him for everything... he made my day... my birthday...
After that day We started meeting often I felt that I was not alone who is badly attracted towards him, but he was also in a same condition... his talk, his style, his sense of humor, his voice, his eyes...everything was magical, that period was most memorable period of my life, he always make me feel so special, I was his princess and he was my prince.
And how can I forget that moment when he proposed me, the cute and different style, because I told him to propose in a different way with different lines, as nobody proposed to his girlfriend ever.
He sat on his knees forwarded his hand towards me and said with lots of love in his eyes- most part of our body has a pair right? Without each one our body is unbalanced, like hands, eyes, ears, legs, lungs, kidney ets' but my heart is alone can I have your heart to pair with my heart? Because without you my whole life is unbalanced'.
I looking at him with a wide smile'said what was that baby? But whatever I loved it and I love u' we hugged and shared a passionate kiss that day first time.
When a hand wrapped around her waist she came back from her thoughts, looked at his side, where he was lying with half closed eyes... said in a sleepy voice..good morning jaan... subah subah aise smile kyon kar rhi ho? she ruffled his hairs said apke alawa mere pass koi reason hai smile karne ka? He pulled her more closer said in a husky tone no mrs singhania...he kissed her forehead and held her tight, she hugged him back said in whisper I love u arjun...
love u too jaan.
HERE IS A SHORT LOVE STORY HOPE U LIKE😊
