Hey NiBirians, here is the Chapter 2 of the SS. Hope you like it.😊
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She chose a pink kurti and teamed it with white leggings, tied her hair in a pony and applied kohl in her eyes. She was in her car, busy thinking what to talk. She had found out what had happened from Nisha, and knew that Nisha doesn't know Kabir.
Lost in her own world, her reverie was broken when the car stopped. She looked at the caf's exterior and smiled. She got down, only to bump into Nisha, Saurav and Dolly at the entrance.
Dolly- Hey Navya, tum yahaan, iss time pe?
Navya- Woh Kirti ne mujhe assignment discuss karne bulaya tha...she was supposed to come here with her bf, toh usne socha ki assignment discuss karke woh bf ke saath date pe jaayegi..
Nisha- Pata nahi iss Kirti ko ladke milte bhi kaise hai... Accha toh assignment discuss karne ke baad milna hume, thikh hai? Hum Dolly ke cousin Kabir se milne aaye hai...
Navya-Ok...
The trio went inside, while Navya stood outside wondering what to do. Finally giving up, she messaged Nisha that Kirti had changed the plan and asked her to come at her home.
Nisha- Woh Kirti ne usse apne ghar pe hi bula liya...
Dolly-yeh Kabir naa, humesha late...
Saurav- (pointing to a guy who was outside the caf and can be seen through the transparent door) kahin woh tumhara Kabir hai...
Dolly- (following Saurav's direction) Yes it is! I'll message him to come in.
The guy read the message and turned. Nisha and Saurav were surprised.
NiRav- (surprised) Yeh!
Dolly- Tum isse jaante ho?
Kabir- (coming to them) Hum S.V. road pe mile the... Hi guys! Hey Dolls!
Dolly ignored him.
Kabir- Fine, Hi Dolly...
Dolly smiled and introduced him to NiRav.
Kabir-Nisha, tumhara ID-Card...
Nisha- (relieved) Oh Thank God yeh mil gaya...aaj Princi ne almost mera murder kar diya tha...Thanks Kabir...
Kabir- Don't mention...
Dolly- (to the waiter) One lime juice, One diet coke and two black coffee...
Saurav- Do? Nishu ke liye ek aur doosra?
Dolly- Kabir ke liye (with disgusted face) though I wonder koi black coffee kaise pi sakta hai...
Nisha looked at him in surprise. The four happily conversed and to Nisha and Kabir's surprise, their choices were very similar.
Nisha- Yaar, Navya honi chahiye thi naa?
Kabir- (confused) Navya?
Dolly- Iski twin sister. Identical twins, par ek doosre se bilkul alag. Isse skating pasand hai, toh usse padhna..Yeh faded jeans mein comfortable hai toh woh leggings mein...Ek doosre se bilkul alag, bilkul juda...
Kabir- Wow! Toh next time Nisha Indian mein dikhi toh that must be Navya, right?
Saurav- Exactly, and tum believe nahi karogi, woh medical internship kar rahi hai, toh Nisha shooting ki training deti hai...
Kabir- So tum bhi trainer ho?
Nisha- Umm...yeah! Hold on, tum bhi matlab?
Dolly- Yeh Delhi ke Passion Dance Academy ka owner hai...
Nisha- (surprised) Are you serious? Itne bade academy ke owner, phir bhi raste pe accident victims ki help karte ghumte ho?
Kabir-(chuckling) helping is my hobby you know...
Saurav- Hey, kal hum sab Juhu jaate hai, after class, what say?
Kabir- Sure...
Nisha- Maja aayega... Yeh Navya ghar pahuch gayi kya?
Dolly- Stop worrying about her, tumhse sirf paanch MINUTE choti hai, paanch saal nahi...
Nisha- She still is my baby sister...Anyway, Kabir, apna number do...
Kabir- Tumne save nahi kiya?
Nisha- Jab number mere paas tha hi nahi, toh save kaise karti?
Kabir- I called you yesterday, remember?
Nisha- (thinking) kal toh mera phone ghar pe tha... phir isne baat kisse ki? Navya se? Phir usne mujhe bataya kyun nahi? Bhool gayi hogi shaayad... (aloud) Oh haan, yaad aaya... Woh it slipped out of my mind...
Dolly looked at Nisha suspiciously. A girl with excellent memory cannot forget what happened 24 hours ago, can she? Par isne Kabir se jhoot kyun bola?
Saurav- Dolly?
Dolly- (out of reverie)Haan?
Saurav- Umm... chale?
Dolly- Kahan?
Saurav face palmed. NiBir laughed at her innocence.
Kabir- Nisha, chalo hum tumhari Mumbai city dekhta hai...
Nisha- (understanding) Haan chalo...
They walked out of the caf, and Saurav mentally thanked them for leaving him and Dolly alone.
Nisha- You did that purposely, didn't you?
Kabir smiled cheekily at her.
Nisha- So kahan jaaye?
Together- Juhu beach...
They laughed at their timing and sat in Kabir's car. They reached Juhu beach and were having beautiful time together, watching the sun, waves, feeling the wind.
Zehnaseeb
Zehnaseeb, Zehanaseeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Mere kareeb, mere habeeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Tere sang beete har lamhe pe humko naaz hai
Tere sang jo na beete uspe aitraaz hai
Iss kadar hum dono ka milna ek raaz hai
Huaa ameer dil ghareeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Zehnaseeb, Zehnaseeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Nisha- So, tumhe beaches ke baare mein sabse jyaada kya pasand hai?
Kabir- (in trance) The sunset... It's so beautiful...The reddish sun and the purplish sky and the water...Aisa lagta hai jaise sun paani mein jaa raha ho...par uske jaane ka hume gam nahi hota, kyunki hum jaante hai, woh waapas aayega...Ek nayi subah leke... Ek naye din ke saath...It's a sign of hope you see...
He turned to look at her and found her lost listening to him. A small boy, who was running, pushed her on him and both fell on the soft sand. Lost in an eyelock they were in that position for some time, until Nisha came out of her trance and stood up.
Lena-dena nahi duniya se mera
Bas tujh se kaam hai
Teri ankhiyon ke sheher me
Yaara sab intezaam hai
Khushiyon ka ek tukda mile
Ya mile gham ki khurchane
Yaara tere mere kharche me
Dono ka hi ek daam hai
Hona likha tha yunhi jo huaa
Yaa hote hote abhi anjaane mein ho gaya
Jo bhi hua, hua ajeeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Zehnaseeb, zehnaseeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Hua ameer dil ghareeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Zehnaseeb, Zehnaseeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb
Nisha-(awkward) Sorry
Kabir- No, it's fine...
Nisha- Waise, this is the first time main kisi ladke pe chillayi nahi hoon...I mean a stranger...
Kabir- We aren't strangers, we are friends, right?
Nisha- Woh kab bane?
Kabir- ummm..abhi-abhi...
They laughed and the roar of the waves seemed to join them.
