Samrat reaches home and changes into casuals and sits on the bed. Ruhana's voice is still echoing in his ears. He's clueless about what he feels for his girl pal. The other day she asked about his take on love. He's a fun loving person and is the most eligible bachelor of the town. She's his best friend and they ought to know their mutual feelings. She talks about love and wants to know what she feels. He's amused.
Samrat feels that Ruhana is demanding something more than he can't give to her. Maybe, she's demanding love but he doesn't know if he loves her or maybe not. He is confused at the moment. He doesn't know what to do. Her words echo in his ears.
"Sam, if I am special to you then there should be something. You always know what makes me happy, you have tricks to cheer me up. But then, it's not just caring. You cannot care for anyone just like that."
"We always care for the people around us. Even I do. But then you should know who means a lot to you and who is just a mere friend."
"I want you to think about it. Decipher it yourself."
Samrat is thoughtful at the moment. He doesn't know what to do? He is unable to decipher this mystery called Love. Yes, Ruhana means a lot to him. She's precious and he can't let anything happen to her. He's always ready to help her and so is she. She knows about his likes and dislikes. Oh! Today she made all the cuisines of his choice. She takes every relationship very seriously.
She wants everything to work out, be it a friendship or a love story. She loves it when everyone stays connected to her and they chat often. That's what she likes and she's happy with it. Samrat sighs deeply. Ruhana is an emotional being while he's still deciphering what he feels.
Samrat sleeps off with all of these thoughts.
*****
Ruhana is lying on the bed and is lost in her thoughts. She's thinking about Samrat and his thoughts about love. She's contemplating her thoughts and convincing herself that someday, Samrat will confess his feelings. She picks up her mobile and puts a song on the phone - - Samrat's favourite song. She begins to hum the song.
Shayad kabhi na keh sakoon main tumko
Kahe bina samajh lo tum shayad
Shayad mere khayal mein tum ik din
Milo mujhe kahin pe gum shaayad
Ruhana begins to hum the song. She sits on the bed and picks up hers and Samrat's photo frame. She smears Samrat's picture with her thumb.
Shayad kabhi na keh sakoon main tumko
Kahe bina samajh lo tum shayad
Shayad mere khayal mein tum ik din
Milo mujhe kahin pe gum shaayad
Jo tum na ho.. rahenge hum nahin
Jo tum na ho.. rahenge hum nahin
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahi..
She remembers all those moments with Samrat. His replies are echoing in her ears. His doubtful responses are creating havoc in her mind. She wants him to understand his care and love towards her. And she can help him with it. She just smears the pictures.
"It's such a deep song, Sammie. I don't know if you feel like this. But you need to decipher it yourself. And by your birthday, I'll make sure you realize all your feelings."
Ruhana speaks to herself and then falls asleep hugging the picture close to her heart, hoping life to be smooth in the near future.
To Be Continued.
Will Samrat realise his love?
Stay tuned.
