Broken Hearts

Chapter 38

I was instantly brought out from my daze when she slapped my arms.

"Are you done ogling? Aren't we getting late now?" She asked.

"I am sorry." I replied to her guiltily because of my behaviour.

I drove us to Marine Drive. The drive was awkwardly very silent. None of us spoke.

Is she in a bad mood today?

"Has something happened?" I asked her when we reached the place.

"No. Why are you asking that?"

"You don't look to be in a good mood."

"No I am fine." She said.

"Okay."

I got out of my the car and ran towards her side so as to open the door for her. I really need to earn brownie points.

"I can open the door on my own!" Kriti said while getting out.

Shit! I had to spoil everything.

"You wanna try Bhel Puri? It's amazing here." She said after that.

"Sure. Why not?"

It was certainly very delicious. After eating fast food more than my stomach could bear, we walked around the place. It is such a refreshing place.

We both finally sat on the promenade and looked at the sunset. This time there was a peaceful silence between us. I looked at Kriti. She is looking so beautiful while looking at the sunset.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked her.

"Sure." She said.

"Why don't you like music?"

"Why do you like music?" She questioned me instead.

"Why won't I? Listening to music is peaceful. Music has the power to invoke intense emotions. It is pleasurable and it brings calmness. Just knowing that I can bring those emotions in someone is enough for me to take up my guitar and sing like my life depends on it." I answered her.

"Well sunsets are peaceful, pleasurable and brings calmness. Not music. Music is just...noisy. It's distracting and definitely not peaceful. I prefer silence over music." She argued.

"Then Madam you have been listening to wrong kinds of music."

"How can you say that?"

I got up and said, "Come with me."

"Where?" She asked getting up as well.

"Just come."

She followed me to my car and we sat on my car. I started the ignition. "Where are we going?" She asked again.

"Somewhere!"

"Uff you are impossible!"

I drove her to our usual place. It was in the other side of the city so it took us a lot longer.

When we were finally there, Kriti asked me again, "Where are we?"

"Have patience."

"Ugh!" She whined again.

I like how curious she is.

There was a bonfire today since the client wanted that.

"A bonfire night?" Kriti asked me.

"Just have patience." I repeated.

I made my way towards my friends. I immediately did a high five with all of them while Kriti stood there looking at us.

"What are doing here today? You said you are going on a date." Rohan said. I instantly felt a glare pass my way from Kriti. I ignored her and introduced everyone.

"Guys this is Kriti and Kriti these are my band mates. Raj is the guitarist, Alex is the bassist, Krish is the drummer and Ro(Rohan), he is the vocalist and pianist, but he rarely plays the piano while we are performing."

They all said hi to Kriti.

"What do you do?" She asked me.

"I am the vocalist and I play guitar as well." I inform her.

"Nice." She responds.

"Okay guys, can I get a guitar?"

Ro handed me one and we all make our way towards the stage while Kriti stood just in front of everyone and looksed at us.

I look at her and start singing.

Bulave tujhe yaar ajj meri galiyan
Basaun tere sang main alag duniyaan
Bulave tujhe yaar ajj meri galiyan
Basaun tere sang main alag duniyaan
Na Aaye Kabhi Dono Mein Jara Bhi Faasle
Bas Ek Tu Ho, Ek Main Hu Aur Koi Na

After we were done all of my friends high five each other while the crowd cheered for us. I look back at Kriti to see her looking intently at us.

I am nervous. Did she like my performance? What if she didn't? Would she be mad for bringing her here? Amidst all these noise?

But all my worries went away when our eyes lock with each other and she smiled at me.

A smile I can die for.

I went towards her and asked her, "Did you like it?"

"You were amazing. You sing very beautifully. I loved it. In fact all of you were amazing." She said.

Without thinking twice I hugged her. She didn't say anything, rather she hugged me back.

"You guys sing better than professional artists. You all should be in Bollywood." She said when we broke the hug.

"Woah! That's a long way. Who would give us any work?"

"Then why don't you all release an album of yourself. More people need to listen to this!"

"We'll think about it." I said and hugged her again. I don't know why but I just felt like it. It feels heavenly to be in Kriti Oberoi's arms.

Hi guyss!

Sorry for not giving you all Sameera or Aayansh's P.O.V. in this part. Though, the next couple of chapters will compensate for it.

And do you guys like Duniyaa? I just love that song. Well, I am going to listen to it, till then you all vote and comment on this chapter!
