Part 18-
Avni sat infront of the mirror in her room, oh how she wished she could see, if only for today.
If only to see the man who had saved her, her charming stranger.
Today she would ensure that Neil's feelings for her were real, she would ensure if she was the right choice for him, that he would pick her.
Avni felt Neil's presence.
Standing up she walked over to him, her thumb traced his cheek bone
"Aankhein khuli ho ya ho band
Even if the eyes are open or shut
Deedar unka hota hai
They always observe the one whom they love
Kaise kahoon main o yaara
How can I tell You this, O friend
Ye pyar kaise hota hai
How does this love happen
Aankhein khuli ho ya ho band
Even if the eyes are open or shut
Deedar unka hota hai
They always observe the one whom they love
Aankhein khuli ho ya ho band
Even if the eyes are open or shut
Deedar unka hota hai
They always observe the one whom they love
Kaise kahoon main o yaara
How can I tell You this, O friend
Ye pyar kaise hota hai
How does this love happen "
Avni sang slowly, as her hands drummed on his chest, she could feel his heated gaze upon her.
Leaning closer, she kissed his cheek
She needed Neil to understand the deeper meaning behind the words she sang.
"Aankhein khuli ho ya ho band
Even if the eyes are open or shut
Deedar unka hota hai
They always observe the one whom they love
Kaise kahoon main o yaara
How can I tell You this, O friend
Ye pyar kaise hota hai
How does this love happen"
His words ran through her head, how he had spoken about how she knew him, how she saw him without being able to actually see him
"Aaj hi yaaron kisi pe marke dekhenge hum
Friends, today, let us fall for someone and see for ourselves
Pyar hota hai ye kaise kar ke dekhenge hum
How does this love happen, let us try and see for ourselves
Kisi ki yaadon mein khoye hue
Lost in someone's memories
Khaabon ko hum ne saja liya
I weaved and decorated my dreams
Kisi ki baahon mein soye hue, apna usse bana liya
Sleeping on someone's shoulder, I made him mine"
She rested her head on his shoulder, her hands wrapped around his waist, his fingers playing loosely with his hair
She felt it, did he feel it to?
"Aye yaar pyar mein koi
Oh friends, when in love
Aye yaar pyar mein koi Na jaagta na sota hai
Oh friends, when in love, no one is asleep nor awake
Kaise kahoon main o yaara
How can I tell You this, O friend
Ye pyar kaise hota hai
How does this love happen
Aankhein khuli ho ya ho band
Even if the eyes are open or shut
Deedar unka hota hai
They always observe the one whom they love
Kaise kahoon main o yaara
How can I tell You this, O friend
Ye pyar kaise hota hai
How does this love happen "
Avni held his hands as she stood back
Her heart hurt for she couldnt see his reaction, she couldnt see the tears slowly making their way down his face
"Kya hai jaadu hai koi, bas jo chal jaata hai
Is it some sort of magic, that just works by itself
Tod ke pehre hazaaron, dil nikal jaata hai
Breaking away a thousand barriers, this heart runs away
Door kahin aasmanon par hote hain ye saare faisale
Far away in the heavens, these decisions are made
Kaun jaane koi humsafar kab kaise kahan mile
Who knows when and wherem You meet Your Soulmate"
Their meeting had been one of chance, but who was to know how close they would become in such a short amount of time
Souls entwined as one, she wasnt sure she could live if he married Juhi
"Jo naam dil pe ho likha
Whomsoever's name is written on Your heart
Jo naam dil pe ho likha, ikrar ussi se hota hai
Whomsoever's name is written on Your heart, You fall in love with that very person
Kaise kahoon main o yaara
How can I tell You this, O friend
Ye pyar kaise hota hai
How does this love happen"
Her hand now rested on his heart, feeling his heart beat faster as she came closer
He felt it to
She knew he did
He proved it as he sang the last verse to her
"Aankhein khuli ho ya ho band
Even if the eyes are open or shut
Deedar unka hota hai
They always observe the one whom they love
Aankhein khuli ho ya ho band
Even if the eyes are open or shut
Deedar unka hota hai
They always observe the one whom they love
Kaise kahoon main o yaara
How can I tell You this, O friend
Ye pyar kaise hota hai
How does this love happen"
He pressed a chaste kiss to her lips, leaving Avni wanting more
She wanted to ask if he would pick her but the chance he would say no, was something she couldnt bare to hear
Tugging on her ear with his teeth, he pressed a kiss to her neck
"I choose you Avni, I will always chose you"
I tried to find a song that would do both of their feelings justice and this seemed to fit the best, since she is blind in this story to
Anyway! Let me know your thoughts
