Roshni

"Dance with me?", He asked offering his left hand to me. I looked at it in confusion.

"I have never done a couple dance before", I told him looking at it.

"And you think I am not aware of it?", He asked me sarcastically wrapping his right arms around my waist pulling me closer. He always wants things to be in his way and this is not at all fair. I agree he is older than me and is in habit of dominating me but this is not fair.

He made me put my right hand on his shoulder while he held my left hand in his as a beautiful song started playing in the background.

I consider English songs beautiful but hearing Hindi romantic songs soothes my heart. It feels like I am in some other world.

ishq mubarak, dard mubarak

congratulations for the love, congratulations for this pain.
[or, may this love be auspicious for you, may this pain of love be auspicious for you.]

He took a step towards me as I took a step back which made him smirk.

"I am not going to kill you. Stop acting like this", He told me as he came close to me. 

"Do you have to choose this song?", I asked him

teri baarishein bhigaayein mujhe
teri hawaaein bahaayein mujhe
paaon tale mere zameenein chal paRin
aisa to kabhee hua hi nahi...

your rains drench me,
your winds make me flow with them.
the earth under my feet has moved,
this has never happened...

"I just typed romantic songs on youtube and this song was shown in the recommendation", He said pulling me closer as I sighed giving in.

"You don't have to say the truth every time. It is not needed", I told him with irritation as he looked at me with a small smile.

"How much do you fight Roshni?", He asked as I gasped hitting his chest while he laughed.

ae mere dil mubaarak ho
yahi to pyaar hai...

O my heart, congratulations,
this only is love...

"Me and fight don't match with each other. I never fight with you. You on the other hand are always eager to start a fight with me", I told him poking my index finger on his chest.

ishq mubaarak, dard mubaarak
ishq mubaarak, dard mubaarak

"By the way, I am not in the mood of fighting at this moment", I told him wrapping my bangles-clad arms around his neck. He looked at me with a shocked expression as I raised my eyebrows at him.

aisa lagta hai kyun
teri aankhen jaise
aankhon mein meri reh gayin
kabhi pehle maine na suni jo
aisi baatein keh gayin
tu hi tu hai jo har taraf mere
to tujhse pare main jaaun kahaan

why does it feel as if
your eyes
have remained in my eyes..
which I have never heard before,
they said such things..
now that you are there all around me,
where can I go far from you...

"What did you say?", He asked putting his ear near my mouth.

"I am not in the mood of fighting with you", I told him with irritation.

"What?", He asked dramatically as I looked at him shocked by his melodrama.

"Roshni Khurana. The fighting champion doesn't want to fight. Oh god, what you did to my poor wife. What she did wrong with you. Though she can be irritating at times still I don't mind. I know she is idiotic", He said twirling me around.

mere dil mubaarak ho
yehi to pyar hai
ae mere dil mubaaraq ho
yehi to pyar hai

jahaan pehle-pehel tu aa mila tha
Thehra hoon wahin main bhi
tera dil wo shehar hai
jis shehar se jaake lauTa na main kabhi
laapata sa mil jaaun kaheen to
mujhse bhi mujhe milaa de zara

where you had met me for the first time,
I am still in the same place..
your heart is that town
from where I never returned once I went there.
almost lost, let me meet somewhere,
let me see myself for a bit...

Pulling me close to him he continued.

"Stupid, childish, mental at times but however she is I have excepted her that way only. You didn't have to do anything to her", He said as he twirled me again as I punched his chest pouting as he smiled.

"You are very bad Anav Ji. You always make fun of me. You have to understand I am still very young. I just finished my teenagehood. What do you expect me to do? I can't become mature overnight", I told him pouting playing with his collars. 

As he laughed before placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

"I don't mind if you stay like this whole life. I love to pamper you", He said as we moved with the rhythm of the song.

ae mere dil mubaaraq ho
yahi to pyaar hai

ishq mubarak, dard mubarak

ishq mubarak...

As the song ended he twirled me continuously making me land in his arms. The whole world was literally rotating as I put my head on his chest to calm myself.

"Our first dance together", He said as I smiled looking into his eyes.

"You are a horrible dancer", I teased pushing him away as he laughed looking at my face.

"Somebody should learn the ways to ruin the romantic moments of date from you Roshni. I thought we would spend time looking in each other's eyes without speaking anything moving slowly with the song", He said as I pouted throwing the flowers on the side table at him.

"Thanks for the flowers though I would have loved it if you would have thrown yourself in my arms", He said while smirking as I glared at him.

"Keep dreaming", I told him hiding behind the bed.

"You can't limit my dreams. Now can you?", He asked still smirking as I looked at him confused. Why would I limit his dreams? I thought before my eyes widened and I hid my face with my hands as he laughed.

"Are you seriously this innocent or you are a good actor", He asked sitting on the bed as I rested my elbow on top of the bed rest putting my chin on my hand smiling at him as he lied down. I smiled looking down at him as he closed his eyes, a small smile covering his lips.

"What if I say I am a good actor?", I told him as I played with his hair. He smirked holding my hands playing with his hair and sat up holding them. The bed rest covering me from his reach though it was tall for me at least my chin was reaching to it. Why this was so tall? I always wondered maybe because of the giant who sleeps on it.

"Come here if you have courage", He told me as I struggled to get out of his hold.

"I don't trust you. You are a beast with me", I told him as his grip tightened around my wrist as he stood up from the bed and took step towards me as I struggled in his arms.

He took me in his arms as I squealed.

"Stop acting like a baby Roshni", He scolded me as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You always scold me", I pouted hiding my face in his neck.

"Because you are too naive and innocent. I don't want anyone to take advantage of it nor I want to change you. You are the best the way you are. So I need to protect you", He told me putting me on the bed.

"I can protect myself", I told him looking in his eyes as he smiled cupping my cheek.

"I know but I still want to protect you", He told me as I smiled at him. The thing I love about him is he never makes me feel low or dominated but makes me do what he pleases with his speaking style. He can even make me kill myself using the appropriate words he uses at the right time.

"You hungry?", He asked as I nodded as he settled beside me pulling the blanket over us as I cuddled in the warmth.

"My little baby", He said placing his hand on my head.

"Come on have your food", He told me placing a plate of Tikki in front of me on the table. I squealed looking at it.

"How do you know I love it?", I asked him.

"You love every fast food except for Pizza, Chilla, and Bhalla Papdi", He told me as I smiled at him kissing his cheeks before starting to eat it.

"Stop eating like a child", He scolded making an irritated face cleaning the mess I created on my face as I laughed at him.

"You also eat", I told him while feeding him with my hands.

"It's too oily", He told me making a weird face as I laughed pulling his cheek.

"It is tasty", I told him as I started eating the jalebi with the ram ladoo. I just love spicy food.

After finishing the food I waited for him to finish his raj kachori. He is really having a sweet tooth. He asked me to have some and I had two spoons of it but that was all. It was too sweet for my liking.

"Movie?", He asked as I nodded.

"Which one?", He asked putting the plates aside as I went to the washroom to clean my hands and face.

"Conjuring", I told him with hopeful eyes.

"No not at all", He said as I pouted.

"No yaar Roshni I don't want this date to end up with you crying. You can't even sleep alone and You want to watch a scary movie", He told me

"Are you scared?", I asked him wittily.

"Yes, I am scared. I am very scared. I don't want to wake up with you shouting bloody murder at 3 in the night", He told me as I pouted.

"Come on Anav Ji please. Don't act like a kill sport", I told him as he looked at me for a second before starting the movie.

"Don't even touch me. Watch it on your risk", He told me as he sat beside me and started eating his chips looking at the screen.

"I won't touch you. But if you get scared it's another thing", I told him.

One hour later

"No don't go there. Please I beg You", She shouted hiding her face in Anav's chest as he tried to calm her down.

"Anav Ji, tell her not to go there. The ghost will be there only", She screamed. She was literally in his lap as he tried to calm her down. Her face was hidden in his chest.

He switched off the television getting irritated by her screamings. She herself wanted to see the movie now she is acting like a small child.

She looked back when she couldn't hear any voice with confusion and saw the television was off. She screamed again.

"Hooo. Anav Ji the ghost did this. She is here. Now she will kill me", She shouted as he pulled her close to him. This was the thing he was talking about. She always forces him to do what she likes and then starts crying.

"Roshni stop", He said in a hard voice as she stopped immediately scared of his anger. She pulled back as he wiped her tears. Her nose and eyes were red. He sighed this is how she destroyed their perfect date? But he can't say anything. She is a baby only. She would act stubborn to get her way but he doesn't have to listen to her all the time.

Suddenly they heard the sound of lightning as it started raining which made Roshni squeal and jump off him. She ran outside as he followed her not wanting her to catch a cold. But Roshni being Roshni. She never listens to anyone. 

She started dancing in the rain like a free soul. Her hair was open now because of her lying position and was sticking on her face and neck.

Anav couldn't help but stare at her as she danced in the rain. She looked nothing less than a beautiful peacock enjoying her life and currently rain. 

People do forget small happiness while searching for huge success and satisfaction. Anav was a person like that only. He never knew how to live his life. His life was limited to his family and business. No friends no lover literally no one. 

And he was happy he didn't give anyone that place which Roshni had in his heart. He was not a person who would confess his love but he knew deep down he fell down for her the day he first saw her in her school.

Well, I already told you guys, there is more to the story. The pages of the past are going to presented to you guys. You guys already know Anav was Roshni's one and only crush. But nobody really wondered why Anav agreed to marry her looking at her picture for once.

By the way, Roshni is not at fault. She is just very young to understand things nor had she been in any relationship before so you can't expect her to be mature.

I was not planning to update today. But I was too excited for your reaction so please comment, vote and share.

Till Next Time...
