Dreams.....

Chapter-12

Neil's heart broke watching Sam leaving with Arjun . He found his friends staring him with sympathy , Neil tried smiling but somewhere he knew he wouldn't be able to wear even a fake one on his face. Evening when Neil entered the parking with a dull expression, he found Radhika with a 1000 W smile waiting for him near his bike. Neil felt light; ''I thought you forgot'' He said while unlocking his bike. ''Why would I ? Especially, when I am getting free dinner '' Neil laughed ; ''Hop on'' Radhika jumped behind him and Neil decided to forget everything to make her evening special

Sam straightened her body hugging one piece staring at the mirror. She wanted to be her best; her heart was thudding with anticipation. It was her first formal date with Arjun. Sam had many hopes, she wished if Radhika for here to help her in getting ready. ''Why in the world you had planned musical date today Chashni. I need you more than that Idiot'' Sam once again checked her appearance to make sure she was presentable enough to stand beside Arjun.

Arjun gelled his hair back given himself an intimidating look. He was dressed in black and had his own reasons for that. Arjun smirked at his reflection ; 'Black is for mourning . That's what your presence makes me feel Sam, soon I will make your life a never ending misery . Devoid of any colour or happiness' Smirking once he walked out and drove off to pick Sam up.

Arjun parked his car and smiled looking at the house. Though he had come to pick Sam up , but silently he craved for Radhika's one look. Moving up the stairs, his heart paced with the expectation of meeting her. Arjun moved his fingers through his hair and pressed the door bell. Her smiling face danced infront of his eyes. Arjun heard someone unlocking the door, his lips automatically got stretched into a smile.

Sam smiled wide hearing the door bell, she ran to the door and stood there for a minute taking a deep breath ,she pressed her pacing heart. Exhaling once Sam pulled open the door to welcome Arjun.

Arjun who had been smiling wide suddenly went serious; ''Am I looking bad'' Sam asked confused. Arjun blinked; ''Ah no, actually breathtaking. Can I'' Sam moved aside to let him in. Arjun closed his eyes once to control the disappointment he felt. ''I will grab the keys and my bag, give me a second'' Arjun moved his eyes around to get a glimpse of his heart , but couldn't find her. He found Sam switching off all the lights; ''you are alone'' he asked finally failing to control his curiosity about her absence.

''Oh yes, Neil took Radhika for dinner. They are going to have a musical date'' Arjun didn't wanted to hear the details. Dinner and date had made him mad already. ''Shall we'' He extended his hand with a menacing mood which Sam thought was sexy brooding attitude

''OMG!!! All these are yours. You play so many instruments.'' Radhika clasped her hand together in excitement, after entering Neil's room '' Neil smiled at her expression; ''Yes a bit of them but my speciality is guitar''

''Okay you on guitar me on keyboard, what say?'' Neil nodded. Radhika moved to the keyboard and then looked at Neil; ''this one would suit your voice more, but for you to grab it I will sing once'' Neil nodded. Radhika's fingers began their magic and the mansion came alive

'Katra Katra jina kya re

Katra Karta marna kya re

Katra Katra jina kya re; Katra Karta marna kya re

Tanha Tanha maan hi mann main chupke chupke rona kya re

Risheton ki di saason par re dhakanon ka chalna kya

Baarishoon ki Katron se Sagaron ko silna kya re

(Meaning- Why to live in pieces , Why cry alone , Why depend on relationships for your happiness , Why do we try to catch something which isn't ours') Original from Manmarziyan
