My Very first OS... Mina you made me post one!š
Symphony
Location: Lucknow.
Though the clouds were dark enough to scare the hell out of homely middle class people, of Lucknow city, to even think of putting a step out of their houses on a day like this, but nothing could stop the young lads today, to visit Fun mall, where congress of many gorgeous actors and actresses was to happen, they were here to promote the Box Cricket League, though it was a program short enough as they were to leave early in the evening, but still a single glimpse was enough for the people of Lucknow, or rather their Fans to satisfy their minute urge, knowing full well that not another occasion they would get like this to meet or rather to see as many Hot properties as they were about to that day!
In the midst of honking and hums, their stood three gorgeous looking girls, one of them of beautiful dusky complexion and sharp features who checked into her watch umpteenth time, her hair though wavy in texture were left open delicately enhancing her features, while the one with whitish complexion stood looking here and there like trying to find a familiar face in the enormity of crowd. While the third one, fairer than the other two, flashing her silver dental confines obnoxiously, stood looking no-where, neck-deep into some conversation on her latest iphone, finally said as she hanged up, said sighing, "What time did you tell her, at we were going meet, Aabha..?"
"11:30!" Aabha replied, with line on her forehead, like she was recalling telling her.
"Oh God!" Ash sighed, as she wiped a newly formed sweat-bead on her forehead due to the extreme hot weather. "Why wait more? Call her, will you?"
"Yeah one minute" and Aabha dialed a number and waited for a moment, when she heard a voice finally she said into her phone, "Hello Pragya yaar... where the hell are you?" and then pulled her mobile infront and looked at her incredulously and again said into her phone, "Hello! Hello?!
I can't hear you properly..."
"Hey guys!" a panted voice came. And there she stood 5'3", athletic built, stout with a innocent face and shinning eyes and silky long tresses and bright full smile on her face, in jeans and loose blue top, not a single ounce of make up anywhere, she was natural and pretty, as her innocent but excited eyes looked from one friend to another from their back as she slightly panted, catching her breath, due to running.
"Hey" Aabha said into her phone, while shaking her head she put a hand on her shoulder and she whirled around only to finds the one on call in front of her.
"Ohh gosh finally" EK sighed
"Where were you? We were waiting for so long..." Aabha complained.
"Arre yaar... leave this Chit -chat for time being, we are already late, lets go... Varna mera Hrithik nahi milega!" Ash said panicky.
"Yeah... Lets go!"
And they all moved towards the mall walking and talking. As they reached the mall, they saw the mall in totally new light, as it was surrounded by many vans of different new channels, and reporters were collected on the main gate, however, the side gate was beheld for the regular visitors, once they went through thorough security checking!
The four friends were about to enter the mall when Pragya's mobile rang and she asked the other three to go inside while she'll come and meet them in McD in few moments, and they agreed.
While on call she drifted from the entry gate towards the back of the mall, totally indulged in conversation, when someone collided into her and she was about to trip because of the collision, a hand grabbed her upper arm and pulling her up and said, "I am sorry", the voice was warm and apologetic, but something about the voice made her look up at the face of the beholder that left her shocked as she could ever be!
Was she sleeping? Was it a dream or heaven was tricking her with such hallucination? Could this be true.' Her mind was asking theses questions, while she stood there, so mute to even blink an eye. Her eyes became soccer big, as he steadied her on ground and asked in same baritone voice, "Are you okay? Miss?"
All she could do was to nod, stupidly. While he smiled in her direction and turned to leave, and then gaining her consciousness she exclaimed to herself, Abhishek!!!!! Abhishek The Rockstar!!! OMG!!!
While looking at his retreating form, she touched her upper arm, where moments ago he had held her and a smile crept on her lips. She then turned to go inside when she again saw him coming or rather running in a sneaky way, like trying to hide himself and this time he crashed into her, "Oh I am sorry..." and then he looked at her again and said, "Oh it's you again?" with a smirk.
To which she replied, smiling gingerly, "hi".
"Hi." He replied with a smile and looked at her curiously. And then asked casually, "So you here alone?"
She looked at him surprised, she had expected anything but not a conversation with her love of life, the gorgeous man standing in-front of her was actually initiating a conversation with her, it was next to impossible, and she was shocked, would be an understatement, "No, I am with friends actually." She said hesitating.
To which he nodded, and looked around and said, "This city is beautiful" and smile crept on his lips, and then he sat on the steps, the other celebs were all inside and so there were hardly any people outside. The weather was windy, and she was just looking at him, she was still in shock, while he looked up at her and said softly, "Your friends must be waiting..."
"uh..um... actually... umm.." she wanted to stay there, after all this was a life time opportunity, she knew she wouldn't meet him again but she wanted to spend as much time with him as she could but she didn't want to intrude in his personal space.
"You can sit here if you want..." He said smiling gingerly at her.
"I hope I am not intruding..." she said.
He smiled at her, shaking his head at her hesitance and started, "I never get to spend time with normal people, it's I think first time I am initiating a conversation with someone, and it's refreshing, am liking it." He said as in trance.
She looked at him, surprised at his blatant confession and said, "Even I never get to strike a conversation with celebs like this, it's my first time too, and am liking it to the core!" she said with brightest of smiles.
"...and you are first girl who didn't jump on me, nor you asked to click a selfie, nor you asked for an autograph, nor you told me, about how big a fan you are of me!" he said with mock surprise.
"... and you are first celeb who initiated the conversation... you didn't waved me off, nor you are avoiding me..." she said, and smiled and then continued, "But I must tell you this, you are more good natured, than I had heard on TV, interviews and read in magazines. And I am so glad to have met you..."
He smiled, "Really, you think so? But trust me, the pleasure is all mine. So what do you do?"
"I am a law graduate and now I am going to do my Masters in law only." She told proudly.
He smiled at her, "Wow! Criminal law? Quite interesting..."
"I still have to decide about it, but that is one thing that interests me too." She smiled and looked at him.
And it was then that his mobile beeped and he took out his apple iphone and after reading it, looked up at her almost apologetic and said, "I have to go, every one's waiting for me... it was nice meeting you... bye.." he said as he stood up and made his way inside.
While she just nodded and voiced a soft "Bye" and stood there, still in shock of meeting her first love! And then to her surprise, she heard a familiar voice and turned back, surprised, "By the way, I didn't get your name... Miss?" he said smiling.
"Pragya... Pragya Arora." She said with a bright smile.
Then he came out side once again and said, "I really liked chatting with you..., if you don't mind, can I have your contact?"
WHAT THE HELL!!! The gorgeous Abhishek The Rockstar Asking me, MY phone number?!!! Has the heaven fallen already??!!' she thought.
"Ye..a..h... sure.." she gave him her phone number and then he went in.
Later she went in to join her friends who had almost finished their Mac and cheese. And went on complaining about her coming late, while she kept mum. She didn't know why but she didn't tell her friends about her encounter with Abhishek. May be she felt it was too personal, and smiled and then suddenly her phone beeped and her smile broadened as she looked into her mobile.
***
It was almost two and half years since that day, and what was more shocking was the fact that he kept contact with her throughout these years but strictly through messages- him asking about reviews of his concerts and albums, and about other things, sometimes little healthy flirt.
It was Aabha's marriage, and as she was in Mumbai, she invited her all friends for her auspicious day, all the friends gathered in her house, though from Lucknow, there were only three of them, while the others were from Mumbai only, among them one was Tanu bhaskaran, a beautiful and modern girl, who despite of first meeting, showed a factual dislike towards Aabha's friends from Lucknow. While they also didn't like her much, but said nothing as they knew that she was Aabha's friend and didn't wanted to spoil her special day.
But her taunts seemed to increase day by day, and then the big day came finally, the trio were with Aabha, while she was getting final touches of makeup from the makeup artist, and then the woman who was doing her makeup, went out and so the finally four friends were left.
They couldn't help but tease her, making her blush hard, while they were involved in conversation, her phone beeped and Ashh... picked up her phone and said, "hey Pragsi, who is this *The Rockstar*? Anyways, it's a message saying, *Not able to believe that you are here in my city, finally... Can't wait to meet you again... BTW I am also going in some marriage. See you asap...*"
While Pragya looked at Ashh stupidified, and then came forward and took her mobile as a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Who is this The Rockstar haan?" all of them asked but she just nodded a no, like saying Not any one special'.
Finally the Baraat came and everyone went down and soon different rituals started, and then suddenly hustle bustle started in the all venue and her friends looked each other in confusion, while she stood next to the bride who whispered among her friends, "Oh gosh! I almost forgot, the groom side had invited some celebs too", explaining the reason for hustle-bustle.
After a while, when the few rituals were over, the bride-groom were taken to have dinner with guests, while Aabha came with her friends, Pragya, EK, Ashh, Tanu, Nitya and Payal, while few celebs came to congratulate her, It was then she heard Tanu, "OMG! He is so handsome na? I bet you guys, today I'll take a selfie with him and steal him from the crowd! Saying she moved forward while EK and her friends didn't give another glance at anyone but Aabha , Pragya was taking gifts from guests on behalf of Aabha who seemed exhausted, without paying much attention.
When she heard a familiar voice, congratulating her friend and she slightly turned and the sight left her shocked. It was indeed HIM! She immediately looked away and almost hid her face back, while Aabha knowing her fondness of AbhishekThe Rockstar introduced her friends to him and then turned towards Pragya and nudged her to turn towards him and greet, while she told him, "You know, she is your biggest fan, since we were in school, she used to fight a lot with us, if we used to say anything against you, was totally mad for you..." and then again nudged her while Tanu came forward, faking a big smile and said, "Me too, I am a very very big fan of yours, you know..." to which he looked at her and smiled and nodded in acknowledgement, while this time EK and Ashh nudged her and whispered, "Prags, turn this side, What are you doing?" and then forcefully turned her towards him and she then stood their embarrassed, all she wanted was this, that he would be meeting her at this time infront of all her friends who didn't even knew about what had transpired between him and her and that she was in contact with him.
While Tanu extended her hand towards him to shake, but he looked at her instead and exclaimed, "YOU! You here... What a pleasant surprise!" and then came forward and extended his hand towards her instead with a smile, while Tanu stood there stupidified with a mouth forming O. And her friends were too shocked to say anything, while he smiled and signaling her to come with him, while she looked at him surprised and embarrassed and gingerly followed him, outside towards the garden and stood under a giant tree, while he sat on the brick bench under it, and looked at her, crossing his legs, looking at her intently with an unusual glint in his eyes and a smirk plastered on his lips making her uncomfortable under his playful gaze.
It was truth that they were talking all these two and a half years, occasionally even flirting, and were somewhat like friends but, it was her attraction towards him that was leading her to this path all this while, she was a simple girl, with simple feelings and expectations, while he was a celebrity, and a very gorgeous of man while she was too simple. She just couldn't mistake to take his friendship in something that was very near to impossible. But she couldn't deny the fact that all these years of chatting had actually made her more inclined towards him and so much that now it was like a silent promise between them of love. Or was it really?
While she was deep in thought, he stood and came near her, and suddenly looked at her intently, his eyes were serious, like he was under some deep turmoil and then he hugged her, encircling her waist with one hand while cradling her head with other and whispered in her ears, almost brushing his lips against her lobes making her shiver in return, "I missed you..." his voice was husky and then coming out of the hug, half way, he did the unthinkable- he took her lips in his in a soul searing kiss, pouring out all the fondness and attraction and finally love into that moment.
While she stood numbed, hugged by the man she loved, and being kissed by him, she didn't know what was happening or why it was happening but all at the same time looked perfect to her, like it was meant to be. She couldn't respond to the kiss, she was too shy for it, and the truth being it was her first and she didn't know what to do. While all she did was to smile against his lips and put her hands in his shoulder for support.
And it was after few moments they broke the kiss, and he smiled a shy smile and said while panting in huskiest voice she had ever heard, "I think I am in love..."
While she stood there- eyes widened and looked down and whispered, "me too..."
