u know wat i don;t have words to describe how i was feeling while opening the topic..and i haven;t even read the whole fic yet..just the first two parts...i have heard so many awesome reviews abt ur peice ashma that i was dying to get my hands on my pc and check it out😉...and when i finally could...i already had this huge expectation cos of word of mouth publicity..lolz😉 ..but trust me ashma..ur work totally lived upto it...i just sooo lovedddddd the intro....its so damn well written...its just too good👏

wat i liked most abt the intro is the beginning...d movie clip..like u said it adds realism to the whole fic...and sets the tone for the rest of it...i always believed tia had a very mature side to her personality...she just tries to take life in a lighter vein...

though it kinda hurts to see tia so disillusioned abt love..cos its veyr unlike d tia we know and love..her faith in love and life is wat sets her apart from the rest..but i am sure she'll come out of it soon..cos like u mentioned at d end of the second part..watever life throws at her..der r sumthings very much a part of her to let go😳

i just loved the second part too...even the one abt ranveer...and his crush nayanika...its only understandable that he'll find sumone...life is abt moving on anyways..and u wrote the whole morning part rather cutely...ranny is choo cute...inspite of him thinking abt that girl instead of tia..i still had a smile on my face while readin it😆

and d telephone convo between sumeet and tia is sooo touching..one can make out how much sumeet is missing his dotty...

even i felt that if tr ever spilt post maurya..either tia or ranveer would leave the city to bring distance between the two..cos its not them to be in close proximity and not be untouched by each other's presence..and i always felt tia will be the one who will be leaving..but it was always paris for me..cos tia was so into fashion and she loves paris..but i guess delhi is better atleast tr r more closer if not in the same city😳

i am still reading the other parts ashma...i just can't say howww muchhhhhh i loved it😳..awesome stuff girl...u have a kanck for this...keep it coming😳👏👏

PS: its amazing how well u know tia😳..its gr8 to meet sumone who understands such a complex girl so well😳

People now surrounded him, asking about him. Tia knew that eventually, inevitably she would have to talk to him too. For the moment, she couldn't bear to look at him..Yet she simply couldn't help herself. She didn't know if she was trying to find flaws or finesse; just some clue as to how his life was without her. She subtly stole glances at him 10 times every minute, mentally obsessing over every detail of his appearance and mannerisms. It was like she was possessed and she was going out of her mind with curiosity: everything her eyes drank in, her brain followed with random, silly questions.

His hair was longer (Why isn't he having his hair cut?!), he was wearing a suit (Did he pick it out himself?! Does he wear them every day??), he was holding his mobile (why is it in his hand?? Is he expecting a call?! From a girl??) and he had a scar on his hand (what sort of stupid things has he been doing?!).

Of course these petty queries were followed by deeper, blush-evoking thoughts that she would not admit she thought: like how incredibly handsome he looked, how she wanted to put her arms around him, run her hands through his longer hair, bring his hand to her lips and kiss his scar all better...

Then suddenly she realised how stupid she must look, just standing there, thinking stupid thoughts. She needed distraction! She tried in vain to pour herself another glass of water, spilling more onto the table than anywhere else. Gripped by a feverish feeling that couldn't make its mind up on whether it wanted to be scalding hot or ice cold, she was burning and shivering all over. Oh God save Tia! She prayed. Surely she was going to faint again.

Then, without warning:

"Tia?" The sound of his soft voice flowed like silk on her soul, putting her butterflies to sleep like a lullaby (albeit momentarily). He made her name sound like something so rare and precious, she could listen to him repeat it all day. There was no running away now, and Tia knew that this was as prepared as she'd ever be. Slowly, she turned to face him.

"How are you?" Ranveer continued, not knowing what else to say. He had politely fought his way through the crowded room, drawn like a magnet towards the centre of his universe. He had to hear her say something, anything, to convince him that them being apart was the right thing... because at the moment it seemed like the most unnatural thing in the world.

"I...I'm fine" she stuttered, surprised that something comprehensible actually came out of her mouth. She still didn't look at him directly, worried that her tell-tale eyes would reveal the truth: she wasn't fine at all; she was a mess.

"I'm fine? Not Tia's fine?" he smiled.

Tia laughed nervously. "No.. I mean,Yes... um.. Tia is a little less self-obsessed these days...she can say I just like everyone else does.."

[Over the past couple of years Tia had done quite well to not say it out loud too much, but sometimes she couldn't help but talk in third person. Tia thinks it's true, old habits do die hard!]

Her cheeks turned flushed and she began fiddling with her beads. She couldn't breathe, and her heart was drumming so loudly, she was convinced he could hear it. Tia, don't look at him, she warned herself, certain that her out-of-control state would only get worsened by that.

"But Tia, you're nothing like everyone else. You're so special..."

That certainly took her by surprise. She instantly looked up...

Their eyes met, and it was as if time stopped. Everything froze, the whole world froze. It was just her and him. Tia and Ranveer. She had believed that their love had been burnt to ashes. But all it took was one look, and the embers were reignited. She felt like her soul had gone up in flames. She was scorched and smouldered, but all she wanted to do was burn further the intensity of his gaze.

Somewhere, elsewhere in the room, people had begun dancing. Of course, they didn't exist on the cloud Tia and Ranveer were floating on, but somehow the music seeped in. Ranveer took Tia's hand and led her to the dance floor. His touch sent an electric current through her which set all her senses alight. When his skin brushed against hers, it was as if she could actually feel her cells chemically changing.

And they began to dance, never taking their eyes off one another. Not another word was spoken, but their eyes did all the talking. Ranveer had never had an agenda of pretence planned, and Tia had given up on hers a while back. He saw all her sadness, her loneliness, so many things she wanted to say but couldn't. His own eyes unveiled the confusion of his turbulent mind; A whirlpool of worries and questions galore that Tia wanted to save him from drowning in. Not that she was in any state to do so – she was falling into the depths of his eyes, slipping away like sand through fingers. She surrendered. No one could rescue her. Everything about him moved her in indescribable ways.. His scent, his breathe, his touch, his voice.

And, after all this time, it wasn't just Tia putting herself to sleep; this was all real, a living dream. Oh this was love! Who was she trying to fool? She had thought time apart had given her perspective and taught her how to live without him. Instead it had taught her that she just couldn't live without him, without his love. She was blinded by love; she didn't care about what happened yesterday, or what will happen tomorrow, all she wanted to do was live here and now.

They had lost all sense of time and place, but at some point they wandered outside into the moonlight. A skip in her step, a smile on her lips, Tia felt drunk on a happiness that only love can give you. This evening was nothing like she's imagined it to be. She didn't even know what had happened. It was like magic, and they were both bewitched. Then she saw his scar and remembered.

"Ranveer, what did you do to your hand? Tum apne gaao mein rehkar clumsy ho gaye?" she asked. She had spoken without thinking, and then turned pink with embarrassment, unsure whether she still had the right to joke with him.

Luckily Ranveer seemed to find it immensely amusing. He smiled that annoying all-knowing smile of his and said, "Kaunsa gaao Miss Tia Ahuja? London?"

"Wha-.. What????? Tum London mein rehte ho???" Tia was genuinely shocked.

Just the a voice called out: "Ranveer!! Surprise!" There stood a tall, beautiful girl, with glossy, curly black hair, her face beaming.

"N-Nainika?!" Ranveer looked like he had seen a ghost.

Tia took a step back and looked from Ranveer to the girl. She was speechless. It was all crystal clear. Tia had been right, this evening had been magic. And all it took was one person to break the spell.

hey ash it was awesome dont keep underestimating your self . ur a fantastic writer . but no omg how did nainika come into thier magic moment . please dont let it be destroyed. they've just met no . the last 2-3 lines were like nightmare and u truly described it as the breal ing of a beautiful magic spell. dont stop writing . i'm like getting addicted to this ff. continue sooooooooooooooooooooon n pls pm.
