Shivaay-"Would you like to dance with me?"

    Annika laughed at his question but hides her smile. She said with rude face,

Annika-"Why?"

S-"Why not? Please say yes."

A-"No."

S-"I know why you are refusing. That day I did the same."

A-"Yaa. And now I don't want to dance with you."

S-"Annika you know na, I was angry on you."

A-"Yes. So why you are asking now?"

S-"Tum chahti thi na uss din mere saath dance krna."

A-"Isliye bol rahe hai?"

S-"Yes. Tumhari koi wish incomplete nhi rakhna chahta."

A-"Why? Hum aapke hai kaun?"

S-"Tum meri..... Leave it. Chalo na"

A-"No"

S-"Annika please please please"

    He said with cute puppy face.

A-"Bagadbilla"

S-"Hayee..... When you call me by this name , I feel that everything is normal. It remembers me the past days."

A-"Why?"

S-"There are many memories in my heart with this word."

A-"Someone called you bagadbilla?"

S-"Yaa. And not only once but every time. But I loved it."

A-"Someone called you bagadbilla and you loved it??"

S-"Yeah. I was irritated by that name early. But later that was important part of my life."

A-"Kaun tha? Koi aapke dil ke jo  paas hai woh hoga na?"

S-"Haa. Most special person. I can't imagine my life without that person."

A-"Kaun tha?"

S-"Tu..... Leave it. Chalo dance krte hai."

      Annika smiled and gave her hand in his. He plays song on his mobile. Both stands in front of each other. He came towards her and hold her waist. She blushed and looked down. He smiled at her and kept her one hand on his shoulder. She looked at him. He took her other hand and intertwined with his hand. She looked at their hands and smiled. Soon the song starts and both were dancing slowly.

"Kehte Hain Khuda Ne Iss Jahan Mein Sabhi Ke Liye...
Kisi Na Kisi Ko Hai Banaya Har Kisi Ke Liye...
Tera Milna Hai Uss Rab Ka Ishaara Maanu...
Mujhko Banaya Tere Jaise Hi Kisi Ke Liye..."

    Shivaay was enjoying the dance. But Annika was only looking at him. She was so lost in the lyrics of the song.

A(mind)-"If everyone has someone in their life. Then there is definitely someone for me also.   Every time when I am with Shivaay, I feel secure, connected. So, mere jindagi me jo hai waisa person kya woh Shivaay....."

S-"Annika....."

A-"H.....Haa"

S-"Where are you lost?"

A-"N..... Nothing"

     Shivaay smiled and twirled her around. Now her back was facing him. He held her waist and Annika shivered under his touch.

" Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta 
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta...
Kaise Hum Jaane Hume Kya Pata 
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta..."

  Shivaay was smiling and enjoying the moment. After very long time they were together like this. But Annika was lost somewhere.

A(mind)-"Sach me.
I feel connection with Shivaay. I think there is something between us. But what's that? Kya hai jo hamare beech me hai?"

    Soon music stops and Shivaay left her. She turned towards him and smiled. She looked at watch it shows 11:59. She came to Shivaay and hugs him.

A-"Once again happy birthday Shivaay."

    Shivaay reciprocates the hug and smiled.

S-"Thank you. And thank you for this wonderful surprise."

    Annika smiled and broke the hug.

S-"Annika, now go and sleep."

A-"You go to my room and sleep. I'll sleep here on the sofa."

S-"No way. Tumhe acche se sona chahiye. Go to your room and sleep. I am fine here."

A-"But Shivaay....."

S-"No more arguments....."

A-"Ok fine.."

    Shivaay smiled at her.

S-"Good girl. Now go."

A-"Mujhe neend nhi aa rahi. Kya hum kuch derr baate kre."

S-"Yaa sure."

    They both settled down on the sofa.

S-"Kya baate krni hai?"

A-"Kuch bhi. Haa tell me about you Om and Rudy."

S-"Tumhe toh pata hai na sab....."

A-"Haa par aapke childhood ke baare me batao na kuch. I want to know ki aap bachpan me kaise the? Abhi khadoos, akdu hai waise the yaa phir sweet cute boy the."

    Shivaay smiled at her.

S-"Ok suno....."

    He was talking about his childhood and Annika was looking at him. She was observing him very closely.

A(mind)-"He is most handsome man. Very good businessman. And most important he is very good person. Kitni fikar krte hai meri. Me toh unki family member bhi nhi hu. Aur apne family ke liye toh Shivaay kuch bhi kr sakte hai."

After 15 mins,

    Shivaay was still talking. He asked her something but didn't get any response from her. So he looked at her and saw that she was sleeping. He smiled at her.

S-"So gai. Kumbhakaran hai biwi meri."

    He smiled and looked at her.

S-"Kitne dino baad tumhe aise sote hue dekh raha hu Annika. Kitna sukoon milta hai mujhe tumhe aise dekhkar."

      He bent towards her and kissed her forehead. She smiled in sleep."

    Shivaay picked her up in his arms and went towards the room.

    He came in her room and kept her on the bed. He covers her with blanket and turned to go. But stopped as she hold his hand. He looked at her surprised but she was sleeping keeping his hand under her head. He smiled and sat beside her. He was playing with hair and she was smiling in her sleep.

    After some time, Shivaay tried to remove his hand. But she hold it very tightly. He was feeling very sleepy. So he gave up and laid down beside her. He took her in his arms and she immediately hugs him. He smiled and kissed her forehead.

A-"Shivaay....."

S-"Hmm....."

A-"I Love You....."

     Shivaay looked at her shocked. But she was sleeping.

S-"Annika....."

    But no response came from her. Shivaay smiled sadly.

S-"Mujhe laga ki tumne sach me mujhe..... But its ok. Hum itne paas hai ki tumhe kuch yaad toh aaya bhale neend me hi sahi. I am waiting for that day Annika, jab tum mujhe yahi bologi but when you are awake."

    He smiled and kissed her cheek.

S-"I Love You too....."

     He said and closed her eyes. And after so many days he went into deep slumber.

Morning,

    Sunrays peeped from the window. Annika closed her eyes tightly as sunrays falls on her face.

A-"Gauri, close that window."

    She said but no response. She tried to sleep but sun light disturbed her. She gave up and opened her eyes slowly.

A-"Gauri....."

    She tried to get up but she felt weight on her waist. She looked down and saw one hand holding her waist tightly. She was shocked. She looked up and gets shocked as Shivaay was sleeping there with her. She looked at him confused.

A-"Shivaay yaha kya kr rahe hai? Aur me toh hall me thi. Yaha kaise aayi."

    She said and tried to get up but he hold her waist tightly.

S-"Kya kr rahi ho. Chod ke jaa rahi ho phir mujhe. Pata hai na me nhi jee sakta tumhare bina. So don't try. So jao ab."

    She was shocked after listening this. She looked at him but he was sleeping.

A-"Kya bol rahe the? Chod ke jaa rahi ho, kaun chod ke jaa raha hai? Jee nhi sakte, kiske bina jee nhi sakte?"

    She looked at him. He was sleeping with smile on his face.

A-"Shivaay toh bol rahe the ki unhe neend hi nhi aati. Par ab kitni gehri neend me so rahe hai. Kitne cute lag rahe hai sote hue Shivaay."

    She smiled at him. He was still holding her tightly. She laid down and kept her head on his chest.

A-"Kitna safe feel ho raha hai yaha. Aisa lag raha hai yeh place sirf mere liye hai. Kitna hum dono ek saath acche lag rahe hai.... Akhir hai kya aisa hamare beech..."

    She said and closed her eyes.

A-"Shivaay aur me kitne khush hai ek saath. I am very happy jab woh mere saath hote hai. Jab mujhpe gussa krte hai bilkul accha nhi lagta. Jab hum mil nhi paate toh dil me kuch baichaini si hoti hai..... Kya hai kya yeh sab??  Kahi me Shivaay se pyaar....."

    She opened her eyes immediately.

A-"Annika pagal ho gayi hai tu? Kuch bhi sochti hai. Shivaay toh tere best friend hai. Par phir bhi kyu mujhe aisa lagta hai ki Shivaay mere liye sab kuch hai. Kya sach me Shivaay se pyaar krti hu me....? Shivaay mere liye kuch aisa feel krte honge?? Yaa phir unke liye I am just a good friend....."

     Her thoughts disturbed as she hear some voice. She looked up at Shivaay. He was awake and opened  his eyes. Annika closed her eyes immediately.

    Shivaay opened his eyes and look around. He was shocked when he found that he is in Annika's room. He looked at right side and found Annika was sleeping cuddling him. He looked at her shocked.

S(mind)-"Oh... Me yahi so gaya tha. Accha hua Annika nhi uth gayi abtak. Warna kya sochti mere baare me. Uske uthne se pehle mujhe yaha se jaana chahiye."

    He said and came out of her hold. He kept her head on pillow and covered her with blanket.
      He caressed her hair and kissed on her forehead. And left from there.
    Annika opened her eyes and touched her forehead. She blushed remembering his kiss.

A-"Kya sach me I am in love??"
