Raatan kaaliyan kaaliyan kaaliyan ne
Mere dil saanwle
Mere haaniyan haaniyan haaniyan je
Lagge tu na gale

Mera aasaman mausamaan di na sune
Koi khwaab na poora bune
Dil diyan gallan
Karange naal naal beh ke
Akh naale akh nu mila ke

Pataa hai mainu kyun chupa ke dekhe tu
Mere naam se naam mila ke
Dil diyan gallan
Karange roz roz beh ke
Sacchiyan mohabbatan nibha ke

Dil diyan gallan...

It's night. The cold breeze is making the leaves of the tree dance on its tune. And the sound of the leaves moving is soo soothing. The road is isolated. And it's cold outside. Rayaan and Swara are enjoying their bike ride. It's a long drive. Rayaan never allowed any girl to sit on his bike. Swara is the only girl who have guts to sit on Rayaan's bike. Rayaan is driving in a very high speed. Swara being Swara sitting behind him and hugging him tightly enjoying the cold weather. After a long time Rayaan stopped in an isolated area where there is a big tree. Rayaan sat leaning on the tree  Swara sat leaning her back to Rayaan's chest. Rayaan held her protectively from behind. Both are enjoying the cold weather and starry night by gazing the stars fondly.

Swara.. Swara....Swaraaaa..... Swara's mom shouted.

That's when Swara came back to her senses. It took her a few seconds to realize that she was again drowned in her fantacy world. Everytime it feels surreal.

Finally Swara looked at her mumma and gave her an awkward smile.
To which her mumma gave her an angry glare. And spoke, "Itna kya ghus gayi thi iss book mein ki meri awaaz tak tujhe sunaai nahi di? Aur yeh headphone. Headphones pehen kar gaane sunte book kaun padtha hai? Kaise kar leti ho tum?

To which Swara shrugged and said, "Talent hai mumma aap nahi samjhoge.
Waise itni acchi book hai kya? Tu itna muskura jo rahi thi isse padke? Her mom asked.

Haa mumma bahut accha book hai. Swara said.

Waise mumma aap yaha kyun aayi hain? Koi kaam tha kya? Swara asked.
Subah se iss kamrey mein bandh ho. Khaana   kha ke phir ghus gayi ander. Time dekha hai kitna huwa? Dinner ka time hogaya. Waise bhi aaj koi nahi hai ghar mein hum na ek accha sa movie dekhenge milkar. Thik hai? Aaj mein tumhaara favorite Vegetable Biryaani aur Aloo kurma banaayi hoon. Said mumma.

Arey waah aaj koi nahihai kya ghar mein? Phir theek hain. Aaj phir hum dono meri room mein hi khaana khaa lenge. Saath mein movie bhi dekgenge. Hotel Transylvania or Frozen? asked swara.

Frozen. Her mumma replied.

So, this is Swara. Swara is an introvert. She always prefers to stay alone. She loves music and books. She have an other kind of obsession with Muslim stories and Romantic stories. Swara don't have friends. Swara is socially awkward since childhood. So this made Swara totally introvert. So that's the reason Swara always stays alone. Her lonliness made her imaginary skills better with time. She used to spend her alone time drowning in music and books. Slowly out of lonliness she started daydreaming. She used to daydream about the scenarios which she read from books. Swara always wanted a boyfriend but her introvert nature didn't even allowed her to make friends. Boyfriend it's next to impossible.
So she created a handsome man in her mind and started dreaming about him everyday. She even named him Rayaan. And that's how Rayaan became her imaginary boyfriend. She always felt connected to Rayaan. Swara dreams about Rayaan almost everyday. But in reality Swara is very close to her mumma. Her mumma is her bestie. Both shares all their secrets with eachother. Swara works as a Freelance writer. And she loves her job.

Swara arranged everything perfectly for their movie night. Swara's mom also arranged the dinner properly. Soon they were engrossed in watching the movie while eating the food. That's how they enjoyed their friday night. And slept after watching the movie.

Swara is thinking about the dream which she saw yesterday with a slight smile on her face while drinking her coffee.
Swara's mumma came and informed her that someone has shifted to the house next to ours and we should go and greet them. Swara didn't like the idea of meeting the new neighbours. But she have to orelse her mumma will get angry. And angry mothers are scary.

It's time to go and meet their neighbours.
Swara and Swara's mom reached their neighbour's house by walking. Swara immediately plastered a fake smile on her face before ringing the doorbell. After a few second a man came and opened the door. Swara's mumma greeted him. And as gentleman the man touched Swara's mumma's feet and greeted her back. Both were so engrossed in their greetings that they forgot Swara.

Well Swara stood there completely shocked.
Because the man who opened the door looks exactly like her Rayaan. Swara knew that she is not dreaming. Poor Swara got 440 volt shock. Soon everything went black and she fainted.

Swara's mumma and that man got startled by the sudden thud and saw Swara lying unconsious. Swara's mom screamed her name out shock. That's when the man came into the action and picked Swara up and took her to the guest room and laid her on the bed.

The man after assuring Swara's mumma that he is a doctor started treating Swara. After making sure that she is ok and soon going to gain the consiousness he informed her mother and came back to the room and sat beside her on the stool. He is looking at Swara and admairing her beauty.

Soon Swara gained her consiousness and saw her Rayaan sitting beside her and staring her.

Hi. I'm Dr. Rayaan. Your new neighbour. Sorry to ask this but do I look that scary that you have fainted watching me? Asked Rayaan.

Swara just gave him an awkward smile and said, No. You are not scary. You are handsome.

So you found me soo handsome that you have fainted? Asked Rayaan with a smirk.

Swara just kept looking at him because the poor girl is still in shock. She is not able to believe that her Rayaan is real. The same Rayaan whom she dreams of everyday.

Soon Swara's mumma came and took her to home. Because the poor girl is soo shocked that she is literally feeling blank. But before leaving she heard him say, "Ab toh mulaakat hoti rahegi humari."

I'm leaving the rest of the story for the reader's imagination.
