I finally walked into his new hotel.
It was slightly strange.
The opening of such a huge hotel but there were no guests yet.
No media as well.
I drew in a deep breath.
I wore a silvery white saree, with red lipstick. Hair left open. I knew he loved this look, and even after being so very annoyed I chose his favourite saree.
Love makes you do stupid things.
The lights suddenly went off.
I was about to say something when I heard music.
Main Agar Kahoon from Om Shanti Om.
And suddenly a spotlight fell on me.
I placed my hand above my eyes due to the light.
I heard footsteps.
I recognised them instantly.
Tumko paaya hai toh jaise khoya hun..
It was his own voice.
I lowered my hand.
He stood before me.
Wearing a blue blazer over a white shirt. I had gifted the set to him with my own salary on his birthday.
He had a beautiful smile on his lips.
Kehna chahu bhi toh tumse kya kahu..
He placed his hand before me.
Kisi zabaan mein bhi..
Woh lafz hi nehi..
Ke jinme kya ho tum tumhe bata saku..
All my anger and annoyance ebbed away.
I placed my hand on his and he pulled me towards himself with a smooth movement.
The spotlight shifted with me.
And I placed my other hand on his chest, he wrapped his hand around my waist.
Main agar kahun..
Tumsa haseen kayenat mein
Nehi hai kahi..
Tareef yeh bhi toh..
Sach hai kuch bhi nehi..
I couldn't help blushing as he sang.
This man knew exactly how to make me feel the butterflies, even at this age.
Our bodies synchronised with each other almost automatically.
I just looked straight into his eyes.
They were still the same.
Honest, genuine and full of love.
"Sorry.", He whispered.
"You remembered the whole day, didn't you?", I asked.
He looked down nodding.
"And you still didn't wish?", I asked.
"I wanted to surprise you.", He said, looking up guiltily.
I smiled.
"And you did, Mister Shah.", I whispered.
The music for the next verse started. He was about to vocalise when I started.
Tum huye meherbaan
Toh hai yeh daastan..
Ab tumhara mera ek hai kaarwa
Tum jahaan mai wahaan..
He pulled me closer to himself, both arms wrapped around my waist,
And we swayed to the music,
Inhaling each other's essence.
