EK HI KHWAB...(A Recurring Dream)
This Shanak story unlike my previous ones is not an interpretation of a 'lost' track from the show. It is part of my task as MOTW ' requested by Deepali. See https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/rang-badalti-odhani/1638530/ll-welcome-mahapurush-of-the-week-saaz-ll She initially wanted a hot OS'yaar, to write a ding dong in one shot was getting to be quite tough'so am doing the next best thing, elaborating the OS I wrote as a task by Rooji. So here I go, Rooji and Deepali. It begins with a prologue which is the OS itself and I shall then expand it further. Please note the first part shall be posted over the weekend..
And of course, for those uninitiated, the title is inspired by Gulzar's Ek hi Khwab from the movie, Kinara.

PROLOGUE
A hot Bombay afternoon, In an extremely crowded ice-cream cafe -
Shaan: I cannot believe ki tumhe rum and raisin pasand nahin...
Natasha: Shaan, come off it...yeh argument kar kar karke main thakk gayee hoon
Shaan: Rum and Raisin is heaven yaar....
Nat: Can we talk about something else?
Shaan: Lekin kyun, I am ordering two...
Nat: Nahin, I said I want mango and please order that...
Shaan: (to the person behind the counter) Excuse me, one mango and one scoop rum and raisin
Counter: Actually, rum and raisin andar se leke aana padega sir aur there is a huge line...could you wait???
Shaan: Of course...rum and raisin ke liye main kuch bhi kar sakta hoon
Seated while Nat eats her mango icecream...
Nat: Are you sure, you dont want my mango?
Shaan: pagal ho gaye ho kya? Main apna rum and raisin ke liye wait karoonga and just to let you know, share bhi nahi karne walla....
He glances outside the cafe to see a girl in a pink churidhar arguing with a guy ...she is so animated and he seems to be cajoling her...and then suddenly she smiles the most enchanted smile he has ever seen...
Khanak: Lekin usne kaha na ki sirf do minute lagenge...to tumhe itni jaldi kyun hai?
Suraj: Maine tumse pehle kahan tha, ki mujhe meeting pe jaana hai, mere paas time nahin hai,, lekin tum ho ke jo tum chahti wohi hona hai...
Khanak: Dekhiye...mere... ice cream ke baare mein kuch mat kehna...
Suraj: haan pata hai baba....(holds her pointed finger)
and she smiles the most enchanted smile he has ever seen....and they both enter the cafe...
only for the whole cafe to hear....."ONE RUM AND RAISIN"
Shaan rushes to the counter...passing through the crowds of girls and boys and aunties and uncles and kids and balloons and ice cream cups and cones and colors and fragrances from various ice cream flavours.....
...gives a flirting smile to the girl behind the counter and holds on the cup of rum and raisin simultaneously only to realise his fingers are entangled into a set of soft fingers and a bangle touches his pulse...teasing it....
He looks up into the eyes of the girl with the most enchanted smile he has ever seen....he releases his hand...she nods and walks away with the one thing he was willing to do anything for...
Driving back, Natasha is chattering away while Shaan is lost... driving with one hand, while rubbing his chin with the other,... lost in thoughts of a dream he has begun to weave...and he smiles at himself as he dreams...
Ek hi Khwab kayee baar
dekha hai maine....
