|ArSha os| Rehna tu|

Exhausted, that was her actual state. After rigorous so much of shooting, the rehna tu sequence and all of this on an almost empty stomach had made her crazy, it surely was a superwomen task. She was exhausted mentally and physically. Whenever she talked to him all he would seriously talk about was Charlie. He never noticed that she felt so uncomfortable.

As she lied down on the bed, pondering over her thoughts, somebody knocked the door of her room on the set. "Kaun hai yaar?!" she said, exasperated. The door swiftly opened, and Kunwar was standing at her door, smiling widely. She looked to see who the person was. But unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, she saw the sandwich and coffee first which he had held in his hand. "OMG! Khaana!!!!" she yelled and snatched the plate from his hand and began gobbling it. 😆 and our Kunwar stood there dumbfounded, startled thinking that even a girl existed who didn't even notice that Kunwar Amarjeet Singh was the one who brought it for her. "Thank god Kunwar bhagwaan ne tujhe bhej diya. Agar tu nahi aata toh mai toh bhook se mar jaati." She said, while wiping her hands with her hanky. "Tumne socha aur hum chale aaye..." he said, bowing down in the perfect gentlemen style. "Hogayi Teri nautanki? Mujhe toh ab bas ghar jaana hai, aur who bhi jaldi. So, chale??" she said, motioning towards the door. He gave his infamous smirk and said "When you ate the food, didn't you see an asterisk which said terms and conditions apply?" raising her hands in frustration she asked. "Fine. What the hell is your damn condition?" "Uh-uh. There are two conditions. First, you will stay here for the night. Second, I have just thought of a very beautiful duet on rehna tu for me and Charlie, and I need to practice the steps." He said, while going near the door. "I'll go and get my essentials, till then tu mukti ko inform karde."

She sat at her bed heavily; the words for me and Charlie' pinching her heart. Somehow in her heart she had always felt that one day Kunwar would love her back. One day he would realize that she loves him a lot. But she loved his friendship too. And if he is happy with Charlie's love and her friendship, so be it. She'll learn to satisfy herself someday. Wiping her thoughts away she called Mukti that she won't be home for the night. When asked about the reason, all she replied was a normal dance routine. But little did she know that this night the feelings will rise and truth will uncover.

"Chale Mohan, You Ready?" he asked her. All she did was a quick nod with a confident smile. "Alright then, here we go!" he replied to her mute reply.

[Music]

He took her hand firmly into his. She kept her hand on his shoulder, reminding herself that all of this is just for Charlie and will never be for her. Peering into her eyes, he made her do some ballroom steps and then swirled her.

Rehna Tu
Hai Jaisa Tu
Thoda Sa Dard Tu
Thoda Sukun

He ran his fingers through the corner of her face, sending shivers down her spine. He twisted her such that her back was facing his and both bent low with their left legs apart from their right legs at a distance

Rehna Tu
Hai Jaisa Tu
Dheema Dheema Jhonka
Ya Phir Junoon
Thoda Sa Resham
Tu Humdam
Thoda Sa Khurdura
Kabhi tu ad Jaa
Ya Lad Jaa
Ya Khushboo Se Bhara

She faced him and kept her hand at his shoulder. He lifted her and made her do a split by his support. Then they both parted and she lifted her on leg up which was held by him. He lifted her up, such that she was facing the ground. And then he made her face him by doing a twist lift. He placed her on the ground, gently. They did some salsa steps and then she stood a bit far from him as if angry. He took her in his arms by the back and made her face him.

Tujhe Badalna Na Chaahoon
Rati Bhar Bhi Sanam
Bina Sajawat Milawat
Na Zyaada Na Hi Kam

He held her by the legs so that she was above him. He twirled her and she spread her hands, like a child filled with glee. He brought her down and made her do a cartwheel. And after that he smiled a second or two, as if annihilating her beauty.

Tujhe Chaahoon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Teri Barish Mein Bheegna Hai Ghul jana Hai
Tujhe Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Teri Lapat Mein Jalna Rakh Ho Jana Hai

They started doing some mirror contemporary steps. After that she, spreading her leg towards him pretended to fall and he caught her by the leg she had spread for him. She gave him a sweet-knowing smile, because she knew he would never let her fall. He then left her leg, but again caught her by her waist. All she could do was watch him with awe. Really he could never hurt her.

Tu Zakham De Agar
Marham Bhi Aa kar Tu Lagaaye
Zakham Mein Bhi Mujhko Pyaar Aaye

She parted from him. She did a contemporary step, looking gently at him. As if she dedicated these lines to him. Well, se surely did. And so she trusted him too.

Dariya O Dariya
Doopne De Mujhe Dariya
Doopne De Mujhe Dariya

He didn't know what suddenly came over him; he ran to her and enveloped her in his arms, lifting her up. He placed her down and nuzzled in her neck, maybe for the first time getting aware of these emotions. Then she realized their proximity. She couldn't lose their friendship now. and so she distanced herself a bit from him.

Rehna Tu
Hai Jaisa Tu
Thoda Sa Dard Tu
Thoda Sukun

But he wasn't in a mood to do so. He again brought her close by her wrist, making her back bang against his chest. He couldn't just lose her now. it was high time. He knew her discomfort. But he couldn't help himself.

Rehna Tu
Hai Jaisa Tu
Dheema Dheema Jhonka
Ya Phir Junoon

He was losing his control. But why didn't he love Charlie? No, he never did. Finally his heart spoke, the brain which screamed relationship was now shut. He knew he loved Shakti Mohan Sharma all the way along.

Haath Tham Chalna Ho
To Dono Ke Daye Haath Sang Kaise
Haath Tham Chalna Ho
To Dono Ke Daye Haath Sang Kaise

Her feelings were now beginning to rise as she danced to the slow rhythm of the song. She knew if he did anything more, her feelings will get revealed. He lifted her by the waist and she kept her hands at his shoulder, twirling her. And the dam broke.

Ek Daaya Hoga Ek Baaiya Hoga
Thaam Le Haath Yeh Thaam Le
Chalna Hai Sang Tham Le

He placed her down and both briskly moved on the soothing beat. He stared into her eyes and got a reflection of nothing but his own feelings. At that moment, both knew they both loved each other. And that convinced her to not step back and to go with the flow.

Rehna Tu
Hai Jaisa Tu
Thoda Sa Dard Tu
Thoda Sukun

He made her curves bang into his chest. She began breathing heavily. Both had a fire burning inside them, ready to salvage the insides. And both knew were will this lead to.

Rehna Tu
Hai Jaisa Tu
Dheema Dheema Jhonka
Ya Phir Junoon

He twirled her again, but this time it was slow. She stopped and laid her heavy head at his chest to overcome her desires. But this mere action of hers made him shiver with desire.

Thoda Sa Resham
Tu Humdam
Thoda Sa Khurdura
Kabhi Tu add Jaa
Ya Lad Jaa
Ya Khushboo Se Bhara

He faced her and made their foreheads touch. He increased their proximity by clutching her petite waist. She too unknowingly clutched his shoulders. He neared her and their lips blended. Both were a bit hesitant. But they still continued to nibble each other's lips, unknown of the world.

Tujhe Badalna Na Chahoon
Rati Bhar Bhi Sanam
Bina Sajawat Milawat
Na Zyaada Na Hi Kam

she suddenly snapped her eyes open and realized that they weren't doing it right. He was in a relationship with Charlie and they can't do this. He realized the reason of her sudden stop. He again took her in a kiss, convincing her that she wasn't doing it wrong. It was right.

Tujhe Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Teri Barish Mein Bheegna Hai Ghuljana Hai
Tujhe Chaahon Jaisa Hai Tu
Mujhe Teri Lapat Mein Jalna Rakh Ho Jana Hai

And their kiss suddenly turned into something more passionate. He clutched her waist more, making her look like one body. She too, clutched his hair, ardent to have more of him. They kissed till eternity. The fire inside them was finally salvaging. Their hearts and desires were finally surfacing. And none of them now objected because they knew they were finally home.

One thing led to other and soon Kunwar found himself lifting Shakti up in bridal style and making her lie on the bed. He leaned onto her, making her close her eyes in excitement and fear. He showered her with kisses. She moaned his name high, making him more and more yearned to fulfill his desires. He kissed her shuddering eyes, her poky nose, her pink cheeks, her broad forehead and finally her luscious lips. He kept giving her peppery kisses all the way to her neck leaving love bites all way.

Soon they both lay naked, under a single sheet. Seeking permission from her eyes, he began. With every thrust their desire grew. Covered in sweat, they finally reached the zenith of their passion and desires.

He worshipped her like a goddess, a man who had for the first time had seen such beauty in a single woman. And she finally was overjoyed to find her soul mate, her counterpart, with her. The one who loves her, and is there in her celebration. Both wished this procession would go on forever, but a day the truth had to come out from the shields of the night.

At the crack of dawn, she woke up, her eyes groggy. The first thing she had in her hand was the mobile and she checked the time in that. 5:30 am. Way too early. It was only then that the events of the last night flooded into her mind. She blushed. Who knew this night had so many things in store. She turned to see him sleeping cutely, with his one arm still on her waist, holding her possessively. She subtly removed his hand and went inside the washroom to change. Smiling at the mute way they confessed.

A minute after she went inside, he woke up. The first thing he realized was that he wasn't in his room. He sat up with a start at this realization. Yesterday's events flooded into his brain. Tears spilled down his eyes and he clutched his head in self-realization. But he didn't know why actually he was crying. No he didn't regret it at all. But he was cursing himself to put both the girls in this situation. If he went away with Shakti, which he wanted too, he would hurt Charlie. And if he unwillingly went away with Charlie, he would break her heart, a thing which he possibly couldn't do. He heard her humming inside the washroom. He just could not do it. But didn't he promise that Charlie was his sole love? Was there a guarantee that he wouldn't leave Shakti for somebody else? He didn't trust himself now. In both the ways he would crush her heart into pieces. All he wanted was to escape from this situation. And so he did, he wore his clothes and was about to open the door and go out when Shakti came out. She saw him going out and questioned-

"Kunwar, umm, itni subah kaha jaa raha hai? Shooting mai toh time hai naa?"

"Umm, actually, uh, Shakti woh..."

She suddenly slumped to the wall. A lone tear escaped her eye. Her glow was now washed away.

"You regret it naa?"

This mere sentence made his heart smashed. He finally broke her heart. She held his hand, looked up to him and said-

"Kunwar, please say you didn't regret it, please say it was a lie naa, please..."

A lone tear escaped his eye as he looked away. She got her answer. He regretted the night of their union. How could he regret their confession? How could he? No he couldn't. Kunwar was never like this. He can never in his whole life be so.

"I don't believe you. You can simply not be like this!!" she shouted at him, tears making continuously way down her cheeks. He went down at her level, holding her tender hands that were trying to beat him. He blended her lips into his. It was a kiss which showed commitment, trust, love, care, compassion and what not. It was tender and apt for the situation.

They both disengaged but her eyes were still closed. "Open your eyes, shaks" he whispered. She slowly opened her eyes and a set of fresh tears escaped. "All I want to say is that I love you and will always love you. I never felt this way before with Charlie. And will never regret yesterday's night. I need some time Shakti, mai tujhe aise toota hua nahi dekh sakta Phir se. I need to make sure I don't break your heart. "he said in a go while peering in her eyes for a response.

"I trust you. I know you'll choose me, and I'll wait for you, forever" she said with a confident smile. That was all the trust he needed for himself. He knew when he had such a charming partner he couldn't go elsewhere. He had his reply ready.

"No need of the wait, girl. I trust you too and yes, I choose you for my whole life and after that too"

They both smiled as they rested their foreheads on each other's. Now that was a perfect end to a perfect confession.
