"Love is blind. Is this true?" She asked.
"I don't know if it's blind or not but I believe blinds can't see efforts too..." He replied seriously before stepping away leaving her eyes wet.

"I wanna meet you soon, Danish."
"Same here..." He smiled, "When are you coming?"
"Soon," she smiled and took a pause "I miss those days."
"Haha... I too..." He smiled and glanced at the wrist watch then smacked his forehead. "Hey Maha, listen."
"I'm all ears, jaanu." Danish laughed and jumped out from the bed.
"I need to get ready for the office, then I have to do some more work... So..." He left the sentence.
"Okay... so, are you asking me to hang up the call?"
"No, I'm telling you that I'm going to hang up. Bye."
"Bye, see you." He was about to remove the mobile phone from his ear when an addition made him smiled "Jaanu." And the call was ended with a beep.

Her mobile rang and she didn't receive the call but walked out the maingate. The black SUV was already waiting for her. A handsome figure was standing holding the door for her.
"Khush aam deed." Fayra tried to smile but couldn't. She was not only nervous but scared too.
(My eyes are pleased to see you.)
For the first time in life she was gathering courage to bunk the college. She would never do this if Arsh hadn't asked her to prove her love.
"Kesi hain aap?" Arsh asked her after he started driving. This question seems like a difficult one to answer. Silence was capturing her.
(How are you?)
"Aapki khamoshi ki wajah jaan sakta hu?" After some ten minutes Arsh asked her but her was still silent. Not even lifting her gaze which was fixed on her lap and hands were nervously clutching the bag. Heart was racing as fast as she never felt yet.
(May I know the reason for your silence?)
"Fayra?" He stopped the car in the parking area of a restraunt and she did not look up. Holding her chin he lifted her head and her tear filled eyes met his dark orbs.
"Fayra, aap roo rhi hain? Kya hua hai?" When she didn't say anything Arsh unfasten his seatbelt and leaned towards her side. Ready to listen to her.
(Are you crying? Why? What's the reason?)
"Arsh, main aaj pehli baar jhut bool ke kisi se milne aayi hu. Kisi ko nhi pta main aapke sath hu."
(Arsh, this is the first time I have come to meet someone by telling a lie. No one knows that I am with you.)
"Itna kyu dar rhi hain aap?" He held her hands which were shivering. No matter how naughty she was inside the house but she was a shy and introvert girl for outsiders, and, till now Arsh was also an outsider for her.
(Why are you so scared?)
"What if anyone got to know at home?" the tears present on the edge of the eye lid slipped away. And she slowly pulled her hands away from his grip.
"Agar aapko mujh par itna bhi trust nhi hai to aap jaa sakti hain." He sat down with a straight back and opened the door of the car but Fayra was on the fence, she wanted to go away but she didn't want to upset Arsh.
