Sonakshi arrived home by 10 or so that night. Asha and Bijoy had retired for the night; Samaira was anxiously waiting for her sister to get back.

"Itni der kyon lagaa di?" Samaira whispered as she answered the door.

"Wo...wo....der se shuru hua tha," Sonakshi mumbled and tip toed in

"Kya shuru hua tha? Is he a singer or something?" Samaira asked curiously.

They walked into their room; Sonakshi made sure no one was near, "Haan.....wo bahut achha singer hai," she said shyly.

"WOW! Perfect then! Meri behen ki alaap ka saath dene waala koi toh mila!" Samaira grinned.

"Wo uss type ka singer nahin hai," Sonakshi said softly.

"Oh really? Toh kya qawaali ya ghazal singer hai?" Samaira teased her

Sonakshi hit her sister playfully, "Nahin pop singer hai! Romantic songs bahut acche gaata hai," she blushed.

"WOW! Meri behen ek pop singer ki diwaani? Main toh soch rahi thi kahin koi Pandit Jasraj type na ho?" Samaira rolled her eyes.

"Panditji ke baare mein aise mazaak nahin karte! Budhhu kahin ki......how can you compare Panditji with a pop singer?" Sonakshi was offended by her sister making fun of her favorite classical singer.

"OK!OK!I am sorry madam.....ab apne POP (she blew a bubble with the pop sound at the same time) singer ka naam toh bataa?" Samaira licked her popped gum again.

Sonakshi looked at her sister disgustingly, "go wash your face Samaira.....saare mooh parr gum chipak gayi hai......you disgust me sometimes!"

Samaira rolled her eyes again and turned around, "naam nahin bataana hai toh mat bataa......I am sure I will find out!"

Samaira was right; Sonakshi was just trying to find an excuse to not reveal much more information about Rehaan at this point. If Samaira found out, the whole neighbourhood would come knocking at her door. She knew how popular Rehaan was getting among the youth and teenagers, and they had plenty of them in the apartment complex.

After Samaira came back from the washroom, Sonakshi dashed into the shower herself, "sorry....I need to shower," Sonakshi was scared she might smell of booze and cigarette smoke from the cocktail party at the hotel....although she could smell Rehaan's cologne on her kurta as she took it off. She inhaled his fragrance several times and closed her eyes; she remembered how he had pulled her into his arms......she could still feel his muscular chest against her face........his stubble touching her scalp lightly........her fingers circled around his taut biceps.......kaash yeh sapna kabhie na toote.......I can still smell you on me Rehaan.......she felt her whole body shiver as a sweet pulsation inside her made her feel a sudden rush of blood in her veins.........yeh mujhey kya ho raha hai?

She stepped inside the shower and started humming:

Dil Kho gaya
Ho gaya kisika
Abb rasta mil gaya kushi ka
Aankhon mein hai khwab sa kisi ka
Abb rasta mil gaya kushi ka

Rista naya rabba
Dil chu raha hai
Kheeche mujhe koi dorr teri ore

Teri ore
Teri ore
Teri ore
Haaye Rabba
Teri ore
Teri ore
Teri ore

As soon as Sonakshi stepped out of the shower, she was greeted by her inquisitive sister, "ab bataa, yeh tera dil kiske ore tujhe kheech raha hai??

Sonakshi was a little embarrassed; she knew Samaira had heard what she had been singing in the shower, "shut up Samaira! Aisa kuch nahin hai.....main toh bas aise hi gaa rahi thi.....now leave me alone.....Oh haan!" she changed the topic, "what happened with the prospective groom?"

"Wo Dev Dixit?" Samaira rolled her eyes, "bechara darr ke maare bhaag gaya......don't worry, he won't come back......parr ek baat boloon? He was quite good looking, aur bilkul tere type ka hai!" Samaira hugged her sister.

"Mere type ka? Singer hai kya?" Sonakshi asked

"kyon agar gaana gaata ho toh you would be interested?" Samaira asked

"May be," Sonakshi dried her hair with her towel.

"NAA! I don't think he can sing......he is a computer nerd......gaana suntaa bhi nahin hoga!" Samaira conjectured.

"Phir mere matlab ka nahin hai," Sonakshi smiled and threw her towel at her sister, "may be you like him.....why don't you marry him?"

Samaira threw the towel back at her sister, "are you nuts? You know, I am waiting for a superhero.....wo toh jaanta bhi nahin hoga ki superhero kya hota hai?"

"Samaira......you are not a kid anymore....you know there are no superheroes in the real world.....kahin superhero ka wait karte karte tu kanwaari hi na reh jaaye," Sonakshi walked back to the bathroom to leave her towel there.

"I WILL WAIT TILL I FIND ONE....OK? Goodnight now," Samaira plunked herself on her bed and was fast asleep within minutes.

Sonakshi spent another sleepless night, thinking about Rehaan and kept caressing her wrist, where he had touched her.

NEXT DAY:

Samaira was out with her friends all day; they had all gone to the airport to see Prithvi off as he was being sent abroad to do an MBA by his parents. Prithvi had no choice as his parents had given him an ultimatum.

At the airport, Samaira was shocked to see Jay and Ishwari Dixit too. As soon as she saw them, she hid behind a pillar, "Oh God...I had no idea Prithvi was also their son.....what a difference from his nerdy brother....marr gayi main......I need to escape," she lied to Shruti, one of their common friends, "I need to go.....Prithvi ko meri taraf se bye keh dena......I am outta here!"

Sonakshi stayed back to help her mother with housework and cooking.

"Sona.....kal Dev pasand aaya tujhey?" Asha caught Sonakshi a little unaware.
Sonakshi, who was as usual lost in her Rehaan-dreamland, shook her head, "Oh..wo mamma....wo.....actually....wo."

"Wo wo kya laga rakhi hai?" Asha was a little annoyed, "haan ya na?"

"Wo...mamma....NAA," she lowered her eyes, as she could see Asha's eyes had a lot of expectations.

Asha's face fell, "kyon beta? Kitna accha ladka hai....pasand kyon nahin aaya?"

Sonakshi did not know what to say, "wo mamma....gaana....gaana nahin gaata na," she made an excuse.

"OH.....pehle bataana tha na ki tujhey kisi singer se shaadi karni hai......ab kya karein? Jay bhaisahab ko jawab bhi dena hoga," Asha said sadly

"mamma....Samaira ki baat kar lee jiye phir," Sonakshi suggested

"Dev ki maa bahut superstitious hain.....humney tum dono ki horoscopes bheji thi, parr sirf teri horoscope hi, Dev se milti hai....Samaira ka ek gun bhi nahin milta uss se.....humein toh koi problem nahin hogi....par Ishwari nahin maanegi," Asha heaved a sigh, "parr koi baat nahin Sona.....hum zabardasti shaadi nahin karenge kahin......tum dono ke liye bahut ladke milenge," she smiled and stroked Sonakshi's face.

Just then Sonakshi's mobil rang, "Hi Pia!" Sonakshi went to her room, as she did not want Asha to overhear her conversation.

Pia: Guess what? Kartik bhaiyya called today.....Rehaan called him and is desperate to meet you sweety.

Sonakshi blushed profusely, "sach?"

Pia rolled her eyes on the other line, "I wish jhooth hota aur wo tujhse nahin, mujhse milna chaahta stupid! He wants to meet you in an hour.....he is busy after that. Kya jadoo karr diya hai tuney uspar.....I am envious. She joked

"In an hour? Lekin....lekin," Sonakshi hesitated

"Sonakshi....pagal mat ban....just come......kuch bhi bahaana banaa le.....imagine Rehaan wants to meet you all alone...phir yeh chance mile ya nahin mile?" Pia coaxed Sonakshi.

"Theek hai....kahan milna hai?" Sonakshi asked

"He wants to meet you in the lawns of Hyatt....same hotel as last night....but there is a lawn in the front for private parties....abhi wahan kuch nahin ho raha...OK?" Pia spoke hurriedly

"Theek hai...I will see you there," Sonakshi's heart was already doing cart wheels at the thought of meeting Rehaan again.

Sonakshi made up an excuse and dressed in a beautiful light blue churidaar, "mamma...main Pia ke saath music store jaa rahi hoon....ek ghante mein aa jaaongi."

"Jaa beta....achha hai ghoom le...ab exams bhi khatam ho gaye hain," Asha was pleased that Sonakshi was at least stepping out of home for a change.

AT THE BEAUTIFUL LAWNS OF THE HOTEL:

Sonakshi met Pia and Karthik waiting for her.

"You look adorable Sonakshi...Rehaan toh lattoo ho jaayega......you know, I told Rehaan that you are a very good singer," Pia giggled

Sonakshi was startled, "pagal hai! Kahin gaane ko keh diya toh?"

"toh gaa dena......OK...main aur bhaiyya chalte hain....I think I see Rehaan coming," Harshin dragged Karthik out of the garden and left a very nervous Sonakshi all alone.

Sonakshi's heart stopped beating as she saw the tall and broad shouldered Rehaan strolling into the garden. He was dressed in jeans and a red shirt with dark glasses on; he was looking all around for Sonakshi, as she stood behind a tree.

Rehaan searched everywhere, "Samaira? Samaira? Kahan ho tum? Please come forward...I want to see you." Just then he saw a light blue dupatta swaying with the wind from behind a tree.

Rehaan smiled, he took his glasses off, and gradually walked towards the tree; he caught hold of the dupatta and pulled it off Sonakshi's neck from behind.

Sonakshi was startled; she covered her chest with her arms and closed her eyes, "please mera dupatta de do," she whispered.

Rehaan came a little closer and stood behind her, "paas aakar le lo," he said in a low husky voice.

Sonakshi turned around slowly, her eyes fixated on the ground.
Rehaan was blown away by what he saw- there she was standing right in front of him- the most beautiful woman he had ever set his eyes on, "Subhaan allah!"

Ek Din Kabhi Jo
Khud Ko Taraashe
Meri Nazar Se Tu Zara
Haay Re

Aankhon Se Teri Kya Kya Chhupa Hai
Tujhko Dikhaaoon Main Zara
Haay Re
Ek Ankahi Si Daastaan Daastaan

Kehne Lagega Aaina
Subhanallah

Jo Ho Raha Hai Pehli Dafha Hai
Wallah Aisa Hua

Subhanallah

Jo Ho Raha Hai Pehli Dafha Hai
Wallah Aisa Hua

Sonakshi looked up and gazed at his eyes. They could not get enough of each other as they were lost in a long eye locking session. Rehaan covered her head and face with her dupatta, to reveal her big eyes only; he came closer, "yeh aankhein mujhey paagal kar degi Samaira......you have the most beautiful eyes in this whole world." Finally, he covered her neck and shoulders back with her dupatta, "please...ek gaana sunaayo na."

Sonakshi came back to her senses, "main...main aap ke saamne kaise gaa sakti hoon?"

Rehaan moved a loose tendril off her face and traced his finger on her face, "apne dil se.....sirf mere liye...please."

Sonakshi shut her eyes again, as he stood inches away from her. She could feel his heart pounding against her chest; his cologne and masculine presence was filling her senses.....she felt weak in her knees as his warm breaths covered her face.
She started humming this beautiful song:

Iss Tarah Se Tu Aaya Hain Mujhme...
Ki Teri Baatein Karti Hain Dhadkane...
Har Pal Tu Har Jagah Mere Saath Hain...

Kaise Kahoon Tu Itna Mere Paas He...
Ki Mujhme Mujhse Zyada Hain...
Tu Mujhme Mujhse Zyada Hain...
Tu Mujhme Mujhse Zyada Hain...

Haasi Chahti Hoon... Khushi Chahti Hoon...
Tere Sang Yun Zindagi Chahti Hoon...
Tere Hi Sada Mein Ban Ke Rahoon...
Tu Hi Sabse Badkar Ab Yeh Kahoon...
Har Pal Tu Har Jagah Mere Saath Hain...

Kaise Kahoon Tu Itna Mere Paas He...
Ki Mujhme Mujhse Zyada Hain...
Tu Mujhme Mujhse Zyada Hain...
Tu Mujhme Mujhse Zyada Hain...

JTYJN was updated sometime back....

Precap- Samaira and Dev meet again😂

Since, some of the readers are getting impatient, let me give you a hint....

<< Samaira IS NOT the love interest of Dev in this FF. She is here to bring another side of him. A side, which has been repressed by his mother's superstitions and beliefs. She is here to bring the Real Him>>
