Passing a long dark night the Saturday arrived which she was fearing of and he waited for .He woke up with a big smile stretching his arms still lying in the bed .He opened his eyes which shined brighter than usual today as he knew today was going to be the best day in his life . He got freshen up in his track pants and tee for the morning jog , this used to be his daily routine before but since few years he couldn't abide by it due to work or maybe he lost the track, but today he had promised himself to bring his life back to track , and the very first thing was this .
He started his running and started remembering those previous days life was so better before he huffed , and continued .
Ghar se nikalte hi
Kuch door chalte hi
Raste mein hai uska ghar
A few minutes later he reached the turn where automatically even without his knowing his eyes will look up to the place where he finds peace . Since childhood whenever he crossed that path his eyes will always search for her . And like always she stood there in her balcony the top most floor of the building drying her hairs with a towel all lost in her thoughts ...
A smile spread in his lips and like always he whistles to grab her attention as this was there secret code ...
Pehli dafaa maine
Jab usko dekha to
Saansein gayi yeh thehar
After so long listening that sound, shocked and confused she searched for the source. Her world stops as his eyes met hers, and his breath got struck as her silky bangs flows in the rythm of the wind making his view more beautiful . As she came out of her thoughts she asked him the matter though her eyes , and nodding in a nothing he went away winking at her continuing his exercise .
Rehti hai dil mein mere
Kaise bataaun usey
Main toh nahi keh sakaa
Koi bataa de usey
As the hot water flows through his body opening up each muscle , stood in the shower he thinks how to tell her what is in his heart " kaise bataun tujhe nisha that it was always you who was there in my heart , shayd bhatak gaya tha beech me but tune hamesha sahi rasta dikhaya h ... Itne mahino se soach raha tha ki kaise uss galti k liye mafi mangu but ab aur nahi ... I can't afford to loose u ... Aaj me keh dunga tujse sab , i will make this day the best day in your life " he promised himself .
Ghar se nikalte hi
Kuch door chalte hi
Raste mein hai uska ghar
He reached her house , lakshmi and Ramesh welcome him like always as he was dearest to them . They offered him many thingsto eat and were asking questions about his well being but his eyes were only searching her looking here and there , giving them an embarrassed smile as they requestioned him . His search came to a hault as the surroundings filled with her fragrance...
Uski gali mein hai dhali
Kitni hi shaamein meri
Dekhe kabhi woh jo mujhe
Khush hoon main itne mein hi
She entered the hall in a white anarkali and a pink jaipuri dupatta . Lost in her beauty he gave another silly smile as she looked at him smiling and asked through eyes what's the matter . Those black hypnotising eyes ,he could have drowned in them if ramesh wouldn't have patted his back and asked " are kabir tumne bataya nahi kaisa chal raha h sab mumbai me " ... "Sab achcha h unkle " he said and tried looking back at her but she was not there ... But soon returned with some snaks and started arranging it in the center table "Aur kabir kitne dino k liye aye ho ... Return ki tickets kab ki h " ramesh asked her , and he could notice the smile getting disappeared from her face ...
Maine tareeke sau aazmaaye
Jaake usey na kuch bol paye
Baithe rahe hum raat bhar
"Nahi uncle iss bar wapis nahi jana h , mera ghar to yahi h aur jeene ki wajah bhi " he said looking directly to her eyes almost whispering the last part ... a sort of fear appered in her eyes and she breaking the eye contact went away from there ...
Jo paas jaata hoon
Sab bhool jaata hoon
Milti hai jab yeh nazar
Ghar se nikalte hi
Kuch door chalte hi
Raste mein hai uska ghar
Soon ramesh and Lakshmi got busy in their chores ... And he got time to sneak to her room where she was getting ready ... Wearing some traditional earing which he saw lakshmi giving her and asking her to wear for today ... He got lost again, But soon came out of his trance and started teasing her, making her irritated is his another hobby ...
Where she was continuously trying to ignore him he was thinking of excuses to talk to her all random things ...
"Nisha seriously ye earinga iss dress k saath achche nahi lag rahe " he said ... "Kabir tu mera dimag kyu khaa raha h ... Tujhe pata h na mujhe ye sab nahi pasand vo to maa ne bola isliye pehenna padh raha h warna mai to kabhi naa pehnu ye sab " ... she replied getting irritated ... " He chuckled and got up from the bed , moving towards her looking directly in her eyes made her turn towards him ,
" ye le ye try kar " he said taking box from his pocket and putting it in her hands ...and completed "Bilkul vaisa hi h jaisa tujhe pasand h ... " Before she could open it her phone rang breaking their eye contact .
She kept the packet on the dressing table and was about to cross him running towards the bed to pick the phone when he held her hand and stopped her in mid track .
Kal jo miley woh raahon mein
Toh main usey rok loon
Uske dil mein kya hai chhipa
Ik baar main poochh loon
He pulled her toward him slowly still maintaining a decent distance between them till her eyes met his , he bent a little towards her ear and said in a calm sensual voice "kal se dekh raha hoon mujhe ignore karne k bahane dhoond rahi h .. but koi nahi bas thodi der aur karle apni manmani " he smiled and left her hand still the eye contact maintained , " aaj Saturday h yaad h naa ? tune promise kia tha , do ghante me tera hamare favorite place par wait kar raha hoon , jaldi se aajana " he said almost ordering her and left the room ... And she stood there still ... Still processing what just happened ...
It was almost 3 hours since then and almost an hour kabir was waiting in the backyard of an abandoned house which used to be the secret hiding place of nisha and kabir that place was nisha's favorite as it always used to be filled with colorful flowers throughout the year even when nobody was there to look after them...
It has been more than an hour he was waiting for her but there was no sign of her.
He tried calling her several times all he received was no answer and continuous ringing .
Now he was loosing his patience , he almost frustrated he called the only option left sukku ,now only he can tell her about her .
In two rings sukku picked the call " yaar sukku kaha h teri behen phone hi nahi utha rahi h " he almost shouted venting out the frustration on him ... " Are vo nahi uthayegi phone busy hogi " ... He repilied not noticing kabir's tone , " kyu ?? Aur tu kaha h baat kara meri usse abhi " kabir asked ... " Are mai ghar par nahi hu market arakha hu, nisha busy h aaj use ladke wale dekhne aarahe h naa ... Maa ki jaipur wali friend h naa jinka beta us me h ... " And that was it for kabir he didn't listen the last line and cut the call almost crashing down in the grass...
Par ab wahaan woh rehti nahi hai
Maine suna hai woh jaa chuki hai
Khaali pada hai yeh shehar...
Main phir bhi jaata hoon
Sab dohraata hoon
Shayad miley kuch khabar
The only thought that clouded his mind was has he done too late to realize ... Will he loose her forever ...
Ghar se nikalte hi
