Koi dil bekabu kar gaya..Aur ishqan dil me bhar gaya..haaye...He had decided to make her aware of his presence and he had been quite successful in doing so. A lot has changed from the day when their eyes has met for the first time. And he was really happy with the progress.Koi dil bekabu kar gaya...Aur ishqan dil me bhar gaya...Aankhon aankhon me wo...lakhon gallan kar gaya oye..Rabba main toh marr gaya oye..Shaudaii mujhe kar gaya, kar gaya oye...Now he knew that she was more than aware of him and his presence around her. She was aware of his intense gaze that lingered on her all the time. Though she tried her best to show that she was still ignorant of all these things.But he very well understood the game, she was playing with him. And honestly, he enjoyed it thoroughly! He let her think that he didn't knew about her little game.. But in reality, he had realised it on the very first day, when he had noticed a movement behind the curtains of her room window and then has got a glimpse of her too, hiding behind it! He did not made it obvious that he had spotted her and continued the hide & seek game with her.Ab dil chahe khamoshi ke...Honton pe main likh dun...Pyaari si baatein kaii...Kuch pal mere naam kare wo...Main bhi uske naam pe...Likhun mulaakatein kaii...But then he wanted something more than this hide & seek. He wanted to take the next step now. He wanted to know, what's in her heart?So he decided to end this hide & seek! When he saw her looking at his balcony, searching for him...he thought to take the chance. He came out of his house and casually looked up at her direction, wanting to see how she reacts? And like always, she pretended as if she did not even saw him. She quickly turned away and went in.He was not surprised with her act. It was usual for him. But he too was determined to face her today. So he applied the same trick, he went back in his house and rushed to his room. He stood hiding behind the wall near his room window..and waited patiently for her to come out again. He knew she would. And she did!Pehli hi taknni me...Bann gai jaan pe...Naina waina uske...Mere dil pe chhape..Ab jaaun kahan pe...Dil rukka hai wahan pe..When she assumed that he was not there anymore, she came out again. First cautiously then relaxed as she confirmed that he was not around. He waited a few minutes, observing her and preparing him self for the next move.When she was busy relishing the soft wind and pleasant weather... He slowly opened his balcony door. Coming out,he leaned on the door frame looking at her intently. She was lost in her own world, smiling and has not realised his presence. But when she turned around, he had caught her off guard!From the look on her face, it was clear that she was startled with his sudden and unexpected appearance in front of her. A gasped of shocked escaped her lips, may be, on being caught like that by him. He almost smiled seeing her totally shocked expressions, but quickly controlled it.He looked straight her, locking his eyes with her own shocked ones. And for the first time he got the chance to observe her eyes properly.. Because she was too shocked and stunned to avert them like always.They stood looking at each other for few moments. His heart was beating crazily with anticipation. He knew her situation was not better either, if not same. He could clearly see those emotions in her eyes..shock, fear, nervousness and..and.. Before he could read her eyes any further, someone called her name, which broke her trance. And once again, she ran away.Jahan dekha ke mujhe...Wo aage badd gaya oye...Rabba main toh marr gaya oye...Shaudaii mujhe kar gaya, kar gaya oye..He had thought that after that face off, the hide & seek game would end. But no! She was still interested in playing that game with him, increasing his restlessness all the more. He was going mad with her tricks now. His heart said that she too feels something, still this uncertainty was killing him.Mausam ke aazaad parinde...Haathon me hai uske..Ya wo baharon-si hai...Sardi ki wo dhoop ke jaisi..Garmi ki shaam hai...Pehli phuharon-si hai..He desperately needed to know, if it was from the both sides or not? He many times tried to catch her eyes for a eye lock, but she was not ready to let him do so. She would steal glances at him from the corner of her eyes, whenever they would be in the same surroundings. And if he caught her, she would immediately look away as if she was not even aware his presence around her.What he was supposed to do? How he would know what's in her heart? If all this was just a silly game for hers.It was one such evening...He has just came out of his house and was about go somewhere , when he noticed her, coming from the other side. That very familiar feeling of restlessness came back to him as soon as he realised that it was only two of them there, otherwise the lane was empty. He thought that was the best opportunity and he may get the chance to talk to her. But it was not that easy, given the way she was hell bent on avoiding him.Mere pyaar ka mausam bhi hai...Lage meri mehram bhi hai...She was her usual chirpy self, smiling, lost in her own world...until she noticed him! And instantly, she became silent & nervous. She dipped her head, ending any possibility for an eye contact.He still stood there impatiently...not knowing what to do? She was coming closer with slow steps , would soon pass him and he did not know how to approach her. He kept looking at her with a longing.With every step of hers, as the distance between them was decreasing... It caused his heart beats to increased crazily! He just wished for her to look at him once, and bring an end to his sufferings.. If only she would grants his wish!She was a couple of steps away, He did not move his gaze away from her, kept urging to her silently.And just before she was about to pass him.. She looked up hesitatingly...allowing his eyes to meet hers! And making his heart to skip several beats!He stood rooted to his place, his heart beating uncontrollably, with what he saw in her eyes. Their eyes had met only for a few seconds...but in those few seconds, she had let him to have glimpse of her heart, her emotions. There were so many things in her eyes...fear, nervousness, hesitation, excitement & in between all these, there was something else too...something which he had been searching for.. .And with that, she just passed by him...leaving him behind!Jaane kya kya do aankhon me main...Paddh gaya oye...O rabba main toh marr gaya oye...Shaudaii mujhe kar gaya, kar gaya oye...
