Dare by Aditi.. Competed.. Tu na jaane aas paas hai khuda!!

"Taani.."

"Nahi bhai... mene decide kar liya hai..."

"But.."

"Please bhai.. I really don't want to discuss it further.."

"Par tum kab tak.."

"Bhai please.." She shouted "Enough.." Taani went away from there and Swayam ,unable to believe that she shouted on him, stood like a statue in the middle of the hall..

Her shout was the only thing that was echoing in his ears..

"How can she.. Wo.. usne muj par shout.. But.. mei bhi too use push kar raha tha.. and usska video bhej diya competition mei.. yeh jaante hue bhi.. But fir bhi.. She shouted on me." Swayam was talking to himself.. His trance was broken when his cell phone rang..

"Hey.. yaar Taani phone pick nahi kar rahi.."

"Hmm.."

"Kya hmm.. Helloo... Swayam.. You there.."

"Rey.. mei tujsei thodi der mei baat karu.. please.."

"Swayam.. kya hua.. koi problem hai.."

"Ha.. mean nahi.. I mean.. mei tujsei baad mei baat karta hu.."

"Swayam.. sun too.."

"Bye Rey.." He cut off the phone and went inside his room...

------

After Some Time..

"Bhaii.. " She knocked at his door.. She too was feeling bad for shouting on him.. She knew she shouldn't have.. So she decided to make everything normal again..

"Taani please.. tum jaao yaha sei.. " Swayam knew why she had came here.. Actually he didn't needed her apology.. He knew it was difficult for her even though he pushed her. And this resulted into the outburst.. He knew she was not at the fault and even if she was he couldn't remain angry at her for long time.. She was forgiven the moment he came inside his room .. But that doesn't mean he can't tease her.. So he thought of giving her some hard time...

"Please bhai.. " She said coming inside his room.. " Meri baat too suno.."

"Nahi Taani.. tum already muj par bahut shout kar chuki ho.. And I don't want more.. "Swayam said turning around so as to hide his smile..

"I am sorry bhai.." She started crying.. "Mei.. I. Know ki mei. Mei bahut buri hu.. And I am sorry for that.." She said between her sobs..

Swayam, who didn't realize that his prank could make her cry, at once came near her and hugged her.. "Shh.. Taani.." He cleared her face.. "Stop crying.." He again hugged her.. "Mei tumsei bilkul gussa nahi hu.. Infact I know and I very well understand ki tumhara vo reaction kyu tha..Please stop crying.."

Taani knew he can't see her crying since she was his baby sister.. So she smiled with tears shining in her eyes..

"I love you bhai.."

"Oh.. So yaha par too bhai bhen ka pyaar chal raha hai.."

"Rey tu yaha.. "Swayam said while breaking the hug..

"Aur nahi too kya.. Abey saale phone par muje laga pata nah kya tension ho gayi and yaha tum dono.. Pata hai mei bhaag kar yaha aaya hu.. And mene break fast bhi nahi kiya.. tum dono kei chakkar mei.." Rey said while keeping his hand on his stomach..

"Chal bei.. Rhene de.. Meri bhen kei haato ka bana hua breakfast khana chata hai aur faltu ki notanki kar raha hai.." Swayam said on which Taani blushed..

"Too.. kyu na khao.. meri Girlfriend hai.. tuje kya problem hai.." Taani turned even more red on hearing him.. She was unable to look up and meet their gaze..

"Aap dono yaha rukiye.. Mei breakfast lagati hu.. "She ran away from there..

"Soo Soo cute.." Rey said after seeing him running from there..

"Abey.. Meri bhen hai vo.."

"So Mr possessive bhai.. kya baat hai..." Swayam gave him a questioning look to which Rey replied..

"Chal bata problem kya hai.."

Swayam knew there was no point in hiding the truth from him.. Being his best friend and the best boyfriend he could easily read their faces..

"Vo.. Taani.. "Rey nodded him to continue.. "Uss ka Khatakh Competition mei selection ho gaya hai.."

"Ohh.."

"Yes Ohh... And you know how stubborn she is.."

"Ha.. lekin vo kab tak aapne past mei rahengi.."

"Exactly.. mei bhi use yehi samjane ki koshish kar raha tha.. But you know her.."

"Ya.. Aab humei hi kuch karna hoga.."

"Ha but kya.."

"Tu bas muje follow karta ja.. And dekh.."

----------------

On breakfast table..

Taani kept the dishes and started serving the dishes..

Rey suddenly shouted..

"Yaar par use ek baar try too karna chayie tha..." Swayam gave him a confused look..

"usse.. kisse..??." Swayam asked him slowly... Trying to remember about the person Rey was talking about..

"Abey yaar usseee.. " Rey said while winking at him continuously..

"Ohh.. ha.. vo..." Swayam said excitedly after understanding him..

"Haa.. vo..."

Taani who was serving them got confused on hearing their conversation.. but then decided to leave it..

"aap log lijiye mei Juice le kar aati hu.." saying so she turned to leave..

"Aab kya kare." Swayam whispered to Rey..

"Ruk.."

"Taani tumhe kya lagta hai.." Rey asked her..

"Kiss.. barre mei.." Taani said making a confused face..

"Vo... jo.. mera dost hai na.." Rey said thinking.. "Vo.. na... Swayam tu bata na.."

"Meii.. mei.. kya bataaoo..." Rey glared at him so he continued.. " Ha.. vo.. actually.. jo dost hai na.. uska competition mei selection ho gaya hai.. but.." Swayam stopped

"But kya.." Taani asked..

"But.. problem yeh hai. Ki use lagta hai.. ki vo haar jayenga.." Rey continued...

"So.. Rey nei use kha ki competition sei apna name withdrawal kar lene ko kha..." swayam said winking at Rey.. while the latter glared at him..

"Rey aap ko aisa nahi karna chaiye tha.. I mean usse.. aap k dost ko ek baar try too karna chaiye tha na.. Aisse kaise aapna name withdrawal karne k liye maan gaye voo.."

"And jo tum kar rahi ho.. aapne past ki vaje sei.." Rey said standing beside her..

"Jaruri nahi hai Taani.. agar phele tum successful nahi hui too iss bar bhi na hoo.." Swayam too stood beside her..

Background Music..

"Ek baar try kar kei too dekho.." Both said in union..(Thoda dramatic ho gaya..!! LoL..😆)

"Bhai.. mei.. nahi.. " She went away from there..

Dhundhla jaayein jo manzilein
Ek pal ko tu nazar jhuka

Rey went near her and tried to make her understand.. Taani turned towards the other side...

Jhuk jaye sar jahan wahi
Milta hain rab ka rasta

Swayam took an ideal of Krishna ji and placed it infront of her..

Teri kismat tu badal de
Rakh himmat bus chal de

Rey than brought a pair of ghungroo and placed them in her hands..

Both Swayam and Rey took her each hand into theirs...

Tu na jaane aas pass hain khuda
Tu na jaane aas pass hain khuda

Taani left their hands and went into her room and stood near the windows..Tears were flowing from her eyes.. she was caressing the ghungroos in her hands.. but then kept them on the side table as if she received a jolt of current from them..

Khud pey daal tu nazar
Halaton se haar kar
Kahan chala re

She was remembering her past when she was selected for the competition.. She was so much happy that she couldn't help but smile all the day.. It was the first time she got selected for national Kathakh Competition..

Haath ki lakeer ko
Modhta marodhta hai hosla re

She then remembered the day when she went on stage and due to lack of confidence and her nervousness on seeing the crowd she was not able to perform and fell down.. All were laughing at her.. And she was crying loudly in the middle of the stage..

To khud tere khawabon key rang mein
Tu apne jahan ko bhi rang de
Ke chalta hoon main tere sang mein

She closed her eyes tightly in order to make that sight vanish.. In order to erase that dreaded moment from her brain.. But she knew she can't.. and this realization brought more tears into her eyes.. Rey came inside her room and went near her.. He cleaned her tears.. She opened her eyes and made her sit on the bed..

Ho shaam bhi toh kya
Jab hoga andhera
Tab payega dar mera
Uss dar pe phir hogi teri subah

Swayam then came inside with some photographs and placed them in her hands.. Those were the days when she got selected.. Her smiling and proud face.. Her photo with Swayam in which she was making him perform some steps.. She laughed seeing all those photos..

Tu na jaane aas pass hain khuda
Tu na jaane aas pass hain khuda

She knew whatever she says but this was the moment for which she had waited for long.. And life.. no her bhai had given her opportunity once again.. Had he haven't sent her dance video she wouldn't have got selected and wouldn't be able to face her fears..

Mit jaate hain
Sabke nishaan

She nodded towards swayam who at once understood and hugged her excitedly making her realize that her one decision had changed the whole atmosphere.. Rey too was happy to know that finally she had overcome her fears..

Bas ek woh mit-ta nahi hain
Maan le jo har mushkil ko
Marzi meri

Swayam kissed her on her forehead and ran away on the pretext for making call and finalizing her name and furthur entries..

Ho humsafar na tera jab koi
Tu ho jahan, rahoonga main wahi
tujhse kabhi na ek pal bhi main juda

Rey stood there smiling looking towards her glowing face.. She then hugged him tightly and whispered Thank you in his ears.. Rey just nodded and he too then kissed in her hair..

Tu na jaane aas pass hain khuda
Tu na jaane aas pass hain khuda

Swayam , Taani and Rey , the trio then widely smiling finished their breakfast with lots of fun and masti.. They knew whatever would be the results now... Taani.. would never fear of loosing again.. They knew that she had gained enough confidence and courage that she wouldn't let such matters affect her now.. And they believe she'll surely win this time..
