Pia stood besides the window looking at the senario outside & said, "Please can we go out today? Plsss plsss plsss".
"Pia, we havent come here to roam, I dont want to take any risk. I promise you when all the matter will get settled then we will again come to this place & roam as much as you want,"I replied.
She pouted like a child & again started looked outside. I thought for a moment & then said, "Okay fine, we will go out today".
"Yaaay", said Pia jumping with joy.
"You are totally like a baby", I replied .
Finally we went out of the resort, the senario outside was very beautiful. We hired a cab to see the side scenes but we dint took the driver with us because we dint wanted any disturbance in our romance (Kabab mai haddi). Therefore I had to drive. The sun was shining brightly, too bright for a vampire. I started feeling burning irritation although I sat on the side of the cab where the sun rays dint falled directly. Pia was sitting on the sunny side. I dint told her anything about my problem with the sun rays but still she understood. She opened her long hair & put a guard with it to the sunrays coming from her side.
"I want to dedicate a song to you like you had dedicated me once, can I,"? I asked.
"You want to do it over here"?, she asked.
"No no, just a song & not the after part", I replied understanding what she mean to say.
"Okay & I wont mind the after part also", she replied with a naughty smile .
After taking a deep breath I started singing for her,
"Jo khab o khayal o mai socha nahin tha, tune mujhe itna pyar diya. Mai jab bhi jahan bhi kari dhup main tha teri zulfonain muj pai sayan diya. Ha tu hai ,Ha tu hai ,meri baat o main tu hai, meri yaad o main tu, khab o main tu, irado mai tu hai, irado mai tu hai.
koi bhi aisa lamha nahi hai jismai merai tu hota nahi hi, mai so bhi jao rato o mai lakin tu hai ki muj mai sota nahi hai ,Ha tu hai ,Ha tu hai ,meri baat o main tu hai, meri yaad o main tu, khab o main tu, irado mai tu hai, irado mai tu hai".
Pia started clapping after I finished the song & said, "Wow Abhay, you sing like Arijit Singh & Atif Aslam. Too good."
"Thankyou", I replied.
"Welcome, anyway this song is from Jannat right?", she asked.
"Yes, I choose this song because you signify my jannat", I replied.
The whole day we roamed in Nainital. At 8:00 pm we reached our resort. After reaching the resort we saw all the staffs were running here & there.
"What happened?Why all of them are behaving soo weird", Pia asked me.
I made one of the waiter stop & asked," What happened? Why is everyone running like this,"?
"The owner of this resort is coming today. He is a very strict man & he will get angry if any thing is out of order, that why we all are arranging the things quickly. He was out of town for somedays but today he is returning. Please Sir, excuse me, I have to go now for an urgent work,"said the waiter.
"Sure", I replied. Suddenly I saw the expression of the waiter changed & it looked as if he have seen a ghost, his eyes were fixed on something behind me. "Oh god! sir is over here", said he before running in a weird manner. I turned back to see who it is & saw Siddharth!!!! Pia also saw him at the same time & quickly hid herself behind me. For a moment everyone was quite then Siddharth broke the silence laughing loudly & said, "Oh god, this is the joke of the century. Little brother I was searching for you in Dehradun & you were hiding here in Nainital that also in my resort!! Dont you know Nainital is my den? You know there is a saying in Hindi 'Jisai mainai dhunda Dehradun ki har gali woh Nainital mai mera hi resort ka andar mili'. Welcome to my place little brother".
"Siddharth let us go", I said.
"What? No way. You are my guest", said Siddharth.
I looked around and saw that many staffs were present over there, I knew he wont be able to attack in front of them . I quickly made a plan, I saw a waiter coming with some wine glasses I put my leg in front of the waiter in such a way that he fell on Siddharth. Within a second all the staffs came & surrounded Siddharth, asking him is he alright or not . In the meanwhile I took Pia's hand and ran from there without looking back. We went inside the jungle of Nainital, I wasnt familiar with the forest of Nainital like I was with the forest of Dehradun & at the same time I knew Siddharth will be familiar with this forest because he live over here.
After running for sometime Pia said,"Abhay I think we are running in the same place like running in a cricle. We need to get out of here fast".
"I also think so Pia. We shouldnt have entered this jungle", I replied.
"Now we are totally trapped", said Pia .Suddenly someone put a hand on my back, I quickly turned & saw Siddharth.
"Caught you little brother, enough of this running game, now its time to real face-off", said Siddharth & I knew there can be no running now, its a do or die situation.
