" Start ... let's go.. five..six.. seven and eight....one.. two...one two ...one two three..four five six......"

  Shravan was instructing the group to go with the rhythm...

The dance studio was filled with the vibes of taps and claps as the music beats go on...

As everyone was moving with the music, Suman couldn't get attached with the rhythm as she was dancing with one of his friends...

    It was a kind of ballet dance and they had to dance in pair...

  " Suman... you're not in the move"

Shravan said with a bold tone...

Yes...she was not on the move...she was not comfortable with the boy she was dancing with... moving close by... bending at his arms... jumping high with his balance....

It was impossible for her to go with...she felt really bad to dance with some other person...

  And, this was the fifth time Shravan was pointing that Suman was not doing good with the music...

    It was his new mode which she had never noticed...the stubborn nature. He wanted perfection in everything that she knew well...still , it was quite strange that he gets angry paired with the stubborn nature...

" Suman...this is important...look at me..."

He asked her to observe him...

He  spun with his toes and bent without any ado...

" With your partner 's help you can do it even better...and, I want perfection"

He was strict..

Suman nodded...

My dear  Idiot♥️.. don't you know that I am not comfortable with some other man..!!!!

   She was  ready to go for another try...

" Come again...eight..seven... six...five....!!!"

As he was observing, everyone began to dance...Even Suman did her best until that intimate steps come.... Naturally, she was not ready and missed some moves....

" Suman....step out!!!!!"

He shouted at high pitch...

Suman was shocked... The entire studio was silent.. she stood frozen...Her heart began to beat quick..her palms sweat in shock... She felt like fainting...It took sometime for her to understand the situation... Her eyes teared... She silently stepped out of the dance floor.. leaning at the wall, she threw her sight across the window ... It was raining...

Everyone at the studio was wondered if Shravan would shout like that... But, he did... Though they felt sad for Suman, no one dared to stop shravan...

" Come-on... let's go..."

He continued to work...

Suman was still at dismay... The way he treated her made her  to shiver... It was hard to believe that he didn't even care about her mental status at that moment... Tears rolled down beyond her control... She couldn't see anything as the vision was blurred with tear...

I have never seen such an idiot....!!! Why he didn't feel the jealous that someone is touching her girl..!?! Idiot.. idiot...I hate you Shravan...I don't like you at all...!!!

Her mind yelled in heat of emotions...

   " Let's wind up...."

   He said and everyone stepped out of the dance floor... He wiped his sweated face and turned into his mobile, ignoring Suman completely..  His negligence added oil into Suman's turmoil...

Shravan...!!!why...?!?!why you're doing this to me?!?!  Ignoring someone's love is painful...I am hurted...what is it that hinders your love for me...? Or, you don't love me even..!?!  I am getting scared...how I had fallen in love to a stone hearted person like you...I am too much tired to handle my emotions...I can't manage it anymore...

As she was mumbling in the air, everyone started to leave...

Anu patted Suman...

" Sorry  Suman...I have never seen this side of Shravan...take care..."

She left with a sigh...

  The studio was deserted except the two of them....

Shravan drank water and was removing his headset...

That's it!!!!

She lost her patience...she took her bag and stuffed her belongings....she was about to go....

" Suman...."

He called...

She stopped for a moment and walked towards the door...

" Suman...."

He called again and this time she didn't stop....

He ran to her and grasped her hand...

" Suman...I am calling you..."

He said without leaving her hand...

She tried to free her hand from his hold...

" Leave me....!!! I am not perfect"

   His grip on her hand tightened where she  couldn't leave him in anyway...

" Shravan...I said leave me"

" Suman.."

He dragged her to the dance floor...

He switched on the music with the remote...

" Shravan...no...I don't want to dance now...I am done with you...let me go"

She said,  choking in between... For no reason , she was crying....

   He didn't let her go though she wanted to...

" I will teach you now...come on"

He made her to dance... Initially, she stood like a robot and stiffened her body as much as she could...

Later, as the intimate moves began, she couldn't stop herself... She went with his rhythm...

The music was melodious and the ballete moves were so personal....

He extended his arms and intertwined with her fingers... Gripping them ,  he lifted her above... He  swung her in the air and slowly, slided her down...

His hands sneaked into her waist... Suman clenched her eyes and quivered... Literally, she was melted inside...

He rubbed his cheeks with hers ...

" I know darling... you're not comfortable with him..."

He spoke softly at her ears..

She shrunk her brows quizzically...

He gazed into her eyes ....

He made her to move around him and pulled her harder to him...she fell on his chest and  grasped his shoulders ...she was standing on her toes...facing him directly so close where their lips were millimeters apart...

He touched her nosetip with his...

" You won't know how much I was insecure to see you dancing with someone..."

He  made her to go away and again pulled her close to him...

" I have gone crazy with you Suman....I scolded you very badly because I couldn't handle myself"

Saying so, he was about to do another dance move....

Suman left him and walked to the window...

    She stood in amaze with the weather outside which was so romantic....

drizzling...chill.. fog...

She was mesmerized with his heartfelt words and gestures...Frankly, that's what she wanted...

   He slowly neared her and leaned at her shoulder from behind...

    His chin was at her right shoulder... Breathing deep, he whispered into her ear...

" Suman...I don't remember when exactly I fell in love with you...but, whenever I am with you I feel like a complete man... really, I have gone crazy with your love.."

She turned to him suddenly... Her face was lit like moon...

He cupped her face... His eyes  fondly wandered over her  face...

" Suman...for this New year's Eve I want us to be married...we will have extra reason to celebrate every New year's Eve...what do you say...?"

He wasn't hesitating...he spoke from heart...

Happiness spread over her... grinning wide, she looked at him... Her eyes were moist...

  Next moment,  Her mischievous mode turned on...

" What would I say?  I say - yes..."

She simply said and yanked his cheeks...

  He held her close to him and pecked at her forehead...

   " I love you Suman..."

He starred into her eyes...

" Love you too Shravan"

She reciprocated...

He opened the window and let the drizzle peeped inside the studio...

    It was so cool where she snugly fit into his embrace...

  " Darling....how you want us to be married...? A simple one or a big fat wedding..?"

He asked intrigued...

She pretended asif thinking ....

  Then she said, " let's elope Shravan"

He laughed Merrily...

" If that's what you want , I am ready..."

They both laughed...
