part 6

yeh raatein...yeh mausam

Anmol kept twisting and turning in his bed,thinking about Ragini had taken all the sleep away from him.He got up and decided to go out for a cool walk.

He grabbed his coat and pulled on socks ;it was not plains ,he respected the weather ;and went out quietly into the garden trying to stay away from trees''

He kept walking with his head bent down thinking of Ragini ,she is in this house so close to me,yet millions of light years away.

Finally he stood watching the patterns of night sky,milky way as if a river of light was flowing across the sky.

NO wonder they say night is time to get ideas'..think ..Relive and may be find solutions to the bigger problems of daylight.

He looked at the sparkling stars and thought the light from these stars left so many light years ago yet it is making our hearts glow today '.so may be the love she had for me back then, or care she had for me..

Whatever it was would it be enough ''''

Ragini had finally fallen asleep; the night had its mysteries and in quiet of valley night sounds were very mysterious yet soothing; the wind seemed to have sung a lullaby for her.

She turned into her soft pillow dreamily and turned when something woke her up; she sat up startled then went on to drink some water, suddenly she looked outside and saw him standing alone at night staring at distant stars, he was not very far in garden, just close to the house itself; so in security light she could even tell where he was looking yet ,the shadows of night were making his face look very mysterious, she felt intrigued and pulled'.

Anmol heard footsteps and turned

There she was wrapped in a cream shawl and wearing her Victorian nightgown and slippers'

Slippers..he thought but then his eyes stopped at her face and he forgot everything.

Ragini looked around herself, startled, when did I come out she thought

Her eyes lifted to match his

She had stopped about 10 feet away from him

He kept gazing at her with intensity, his eyes could even melt her soul tonight.

She moved forward and stood next to him, looking up with questioning eyes .

He kept looking at her without speaking, suddenly she could bear it no longer and opened her mouth to speak'

Shhhhhh he covered her mouth with his finger gesturing her to be quiet and turned her gently to look up at stars'.

Dekho he said quetly

(friends i know ma not describing snow but bench ka pic and night plus it is snowing outside my window really as much as u see in pic so am allowed na😃 but imagine ragini and anmol on bench but no snow)

How long she kept staring at mystical heavens,she did not remember,nor did she remember how she came on this bench sitting next to him ;almost leaning into him still watching the milky way so clear so beautiful and so promising.

Ragini

Is mein ek hi kami hai ab

Kya

Sangeet ki

She did not reply

I want to sing a song, you don't mind he asked turning to look at her

She was still watching the stars ,kyun

Aise hi itni khoosoorat raat hai

Haan sunao she said absent mindedly never leaving her gaze from enchanted skies'

He started in his low lyrical but very deep voice..

Yeh raatein yeh mausam

She turned to look at him waiting'a strange expression on her face ;he looked at her smiling and

She said aur aage'.

He smiled and gestured around singing'

Yeh raatein yeh mausam yeh hansna hasaanaa'

Yeh raatein..

Mujhe'.he stopped to repeat

Mujhe he emphasized on the word again'.making her bit confused and added..

Mujhe bhool jaana inhein na bhulaana'.when he sang that she felt sad and overwhelmed and tried to smile as if to break the moment and its magic'

He went on '..

Yeh behki nigahein

Yeh behki nigahein

Yeh behki aadaayein

Yeh behki aadaayein

Yeh behki nigahein

She never realized he was sitting so close to her playing with her hair'.looking deep in her eyes..

Yeh aankhon ke kajjal mein doobi ghatayein

Fiza ke

Fiza ke labon par

Fiza ke

He looked around and her gaze followed looking at silent night and its wonders..

Fiza ke labon par yeh chup ka fasana

Mujhe bhool jana inhein na bhoolana

Bhoolana bhoolana

Yeh raatein

Ragini was transferred into another time sitting on that bench sh e remebered carefree days of her life after Diwali . With tammy sleeping in their room they never had much needed privacy ;

She remembered how she was trying to pull her dried sari from clothes line when some one held her hands,she smiled and saw him standing there smiling with boyish grin on his face .

Aaj jaldi aa gaye office se

Haan socha tum bageeche mein hogi ;ghar mein to

He had sighed purposefully she laughed and gave him the basket

Lo pakdo he showed mock anger and she laughed

Dekho badal agar barish ho gayi to and turned to take other clothes off too

Suddenly he had grabbed her from behind'.he held her waist and pulled her close inhaling in her sweet perfume'..aha mera favorite

She turned in his arms smiling and holding him from his neck

Suddenly they heard guddi calling for her h e instinctively moved away but she held on and said '

Haaan to kya keh rahe they..

He smiled and laughed

You witch I forget everything when you are around,chodo ab

Kyun pehle to aap ne '

She was smiling to herself;Thinking of those carefree days,how he had finally gotten out of her hold right in time for Guddi and had told confused gudi taht he was helping Ragini like a good husband;

anmol was watching her and thought

If she can smile sitting here ,next to me may be she is remembering those happy moments may be '

May be life will give us another chance'

He continued..to sing

Chaman mein

Chaman mein jo mil ke bani hai kahaani

Hamari mohabat tumhari jawaani

Chaman mein

Yeh do garam saanson ka ek saath aana

Suddenly it was bit more dark as moon was covered by a small cloud,she instinctively moved closer to him and he continued

Yeh badli ka chalna

Yeh boondon ki rum jhum

Yeh badli ka chalna

Yeh boondon ki rum jhum

And lifted her chin to held her gaze ,h elowered his voice to most seductive tone '

Yeh masti ka aalam yeh khoye se hum tum

Tumhara'

Tumhara mere saath yeh gun gunana

She was suddenly silent ,she never realized she was also humming with him

He raised his eye brows and 'thne suddenly turned very serious and sad and added....

Mujhe bhool jana

Inhein na bhoolana

Yeh raatein'

Ragini was unable to tear her gaze away from him and swallowed nervously, he kept caressing her face with one finger tracing the contours of her lovely face ,

Suddenly he spoke ,folding his hands and getting up as if not trusting himself, she was confused and stood up to

Ragini We need a second chance..

She kept staring at her feet

Cant you feel anything for me he asked suddenly the romance in his voice was millions of miles away ,it was all anguish '

Anmol she cried suddenly unable to bear his pain and hugged him so tightly, almost crushing him with force ; she would break the hug and kept touching his face as if reassuring herself and then again hugging him ,he stood there stunned silent ,unable to react

He never expected such a emotional response,

He had expected anger or resentment, rejection or silence..

Ragini suddenly let go of him and said

Wo '

He waited

Subha baat karenge hum dono , we need to talk you are right

And she left

She turned to see once entering the house

He was standing there in lawn 'alone ..thinking hopeful yet not daring to hope.....
