eagerly waiting for you to post your next prt ...

Ranveer hadn't meant for anything that spellbinding to happen that evening, but the incomprehensible ways of his heart were beyond his own control. One look at Tia Ahuja and he had forgotten everyone else. That is, until they appeared and called out his name.

"Ranveer!" called Nainika, running straight into his arms.

"You.. here.. how?!" asked a befuddled Ranveer. This felt like dj-vu... Nainika really had a terrible knack of turning up at the wrong place at the wrong time. And this was without doubt the worst timing and placing. The most blissful of dreams had instantly turned into a nightmare...and the worst thing was he couldn't pinch himself and wake up from his slumber.

"You remember I called you earlier on this evening? Well I was already in Bombay at that time! With you gone, I was feeling so lonely Ranveer... then I had an amazing thought. I'd come and visit my parents here, and surprise you at the same time!!" grinned Nainika. "But you're the one who surprised me Ranveer, you could have told me you were having a class reunion; it would have been so adorable, meeting your old classmates!"

"But how did you find out?"

"Oh Ranveer, you can't keep important things like this from your girlfriend; just a couple of phonecalls and..."

Ranveer had tuned out by this time... all he could see was Tia. She was staring at Nainika in shock.

"And who's this beautiful girl? Ranveer, aren't you going to introduce us?" asked Nainika, noticing Ranveer's eyes on Tia.

Tia had now composed herself, a blank, polite expression on her face. And in a steely, cold tone of voice, said, "Hi, I'm Tia Ahuja. I'm so sorry, but I was actually just about to leave. Nice meeting you."

And with that she walked off. Ranveer's nightmare was getting worse by the second. He had to stop her.

"Tia! Wait!" He ran after her and grabbed her arm.

She stopped, but wouldn't look at him.

"Tia," he said desperately. "It's not what it looks like.."

"Puh-leez. You don't owe me any explanations Ranveer. What you do with your life has nothing to do with me."

"How can you say that Tia? After everything that just happened between us tonight?"

"Oh and what was that? A game you were playing with Tia? Do you still think I'm just a plastic doll you can play games with?? Someone to pass your time with until your... your girlfriend came?" Tia spat out the words like venom.

That made Ranveer mad. "Tia, you're the one who left me, remember??"

"What, does that mean you just go and find someone else to love?"

She looked him in the eye now, because she had nothing to hide. He knew he had hurt her beyond words, and there was no one in the world he hated more than himself at that very moment. It rendered him speechless.

All he could do was stand there, watching her leave him once again. It was all his fault.

Tia woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache, an emotional hangover from being drunk on love and anger the previous evening. She was afraid to look into the mirror, knowing what an awful sight she'd look with her puffy eyes and tear-streaked cheeks. Last night, she was confused to say the least. She had been driven crazy with fury at Ranveer for finding someone else, at her friends for forcing her to go to the reunion, and mostly at herself, for agreeing to go in the first place, and then for getting so hypnotised by a tainted love.

But despite all the pain, the morning sunshine bought with it a sense of reason and perspective. She saw the light in the light of day. Had she been at school still, she would have probably stayed angry at him, shouted at him, and called him names, found someone to make him jealous. But she was sick and tired of fooling herself, and too exhausted to be angry anymore... and those stupid ego-driven games made no sense to her anymore.

It was time to face the music. It was a melody that had been playing ever since she had met him, a song that she hadn't always wanted to listen to, a tune that she had tried to block out with every ounce of resistance she had. But now she heard the lyrics loud and clear: Tia loved Ranveer, truly, madly, deeply. It was an absolute truth: She was hopelessly devoted to him. She knew it was undeniable. There was a huge void in her life that only he could fill.

How could she have thought one dance would make everything ok? They had so much they needed to solve. And the worst part was she knew their problems were too complicated, the distances between them too big, that it could be impossible for them to be together again. Now all she could think about was the way they were. She had been given a blessing and she had let it go. It was all her fault.
