SS- Hume Tumse Pyar Kitna

Dear Friends,

I wanted to write something on Baji and Dutta's friendship based on yesterday's episode but when I was coming to office, I heard this song playing on the FM, my fingers started itching to write a songfic, as Divan aka Kanta writes on All Is Well based on the songs she likes. This is my first songfic based on Dutta and Naku

++++

Dutta gulped down the wine in one long sip, the words of Kalavati ringing in his ears, he knows Kalavati at times says things to hurt him, she gets her pleasure to see him ruffled specially since she is not very fond of Nakusha, his wife, now that he and Naku are not in best terms…he was surprised to hear these words from his sister, love is greater than hatred for nothing is greater than love and Naku loves you……

Dutta come beta just don't stand there, come sit with us this party is for you, we want to be together as a family….his Ayi coaxed him….Dutta walked slowly as to where the family was sitting, Baji was sitting next to Madhu, others were paired up with Roops sticking to Leela Tai as usual, two places were empty one next to Naku and the other next to Ayi, the choice was obvious, he went and sat next to his Ayi…..

Areh party hai bhai party , tumlog kya aisa muh phulake baithe rahoge? Ayi Saab asked….Kala tai also joined her….yes lets play something, the games she initially suggested were booed out by Roops and Leelavati, they wanted something funny…what about passing the parcel? Kala asked suddenly…..Oh god, thought Dutta how childish, now they will make people do funny things…..soon the music started and the pillow was passed around…..Madhu threw it hard towards him, he avoided catching it, it landed on his lap…kya bhau jaldi karo, pick it up, urged Roops, Ayi was judge, hence out of the fray, he passed it to Naku without looking at her, it fell in front of her ….areh Vehini jaldi, through the corner of his eyes, he saw Nakusha picking it up, giving a smile she passed it on to Kishore, how does she manage to smile, he feels to miserable and low, the music stopped….

Areh Kishoreji, it is your turn come on open the contest, kuch aisa karo so that the next ones have to work hard to match upto you…..Ayi Sahib suggested

Kya karu Ayi Sahib, mujhe toh gana bhi nehi ata, nachna bhi nehi….Kishore replied….

Kuch toh atah hoga, aap mere damad hai, don't let us down now…..

Dutta looked away, he saw Baji observing him, Dutta lowered his head, he was no mood to see Baji nor make a fool of himself today for today was the day when he turned into a 'Bhau', it seems the family has forgotten about it including Bajirao, his best friend…

Mai acting karlu, suddenly Kishore broke his thoughts…..

Acting? Kya Acting karoge? Ayi Sahib asked making even Dutta look up to see Kishore going upto the Dj whispering something to him….as the music started to play, Kishore trotted to sit in front of Kalavati with a pose…..

As the words flowed, Kishore started his acting, watching him, Dutta smiled, so unlike Kishore but he looked earnest, even Kalavati blushed, she looked shy, Ayi Sahib looked overwhelmed blessing them….then the words hit Dutta, it pierced his heart infact….involuntarily he looked towards Nakusha…she was sitting with her head lowered, her veins in her neck became prominent, she was aware he was watching her for a blush crept covering her cheeks …….

The words disturbed them, both Nakusha and Dutta, they knew their heart but the reality was something else, Dutta tried to look away but then Naku suddenly got up, the tension was getting too much for her it seemed, picking up a snacks plate, she started going around offering……

Dutta looked away to see Ayi Sahib observing him closely….

Dutta did not want to meet Ayi Sahib's eyes, she read him too well, he saw Kishore smiling at Naku as she served Kalavati ...his heart burnt, even though he knew Kishore saw Naku as his sister….somehow another man looking at her…..Dutta knew his feelings were unjustified but …….

She was standing in front of him now, holding the plate …he turned his face away, he did not want ….Ayi Sahib nudged him, he looked up at her

Lost in her eyes, instead of picking up a pakoda he dipped his finger in the sauce, the spell broke, he lifted his hand to see the sauce smeared, trying to feel for his handkerchief in his pockets with the other hand, he noticed she was holding her pallu for him......

He became still watching it……she waited for sometime before starting to move away, when he raised his hand and caught the pallu to wipe his fingers…..
