The Wait

Part-16

Shree held his forehead and leaned over sakshi's shoulder to prevent himself from falling down ,while she held him to keep their balance.

"shree kya hua tumhe.?

"pata nahi,mujhe sab kuch ghumta hua najar aaraha hai.

"shree sambhal khudko.pata ni kyun per mujhe aesi feeling arahi hai ki ye sirf trailer hai.

Chhotu murmured near his ear,not diverting his eyes from arjun once.

(Tan thirke thirke
Man bekhe behke
Tera keh ke, keh ke khud ko)

There were two people who were not in a condition to speak.

Rathore, who was watching Arjun intently and Riya,who was yet to come over her stiff posture.

(Mere dil ki baat
Jaane kaaynaat
Tere dil ki khabar bas mujhko)

"Ri..Ri kahan hai.?

Shree asked after a long term of silence .

"vo upar.

Sakshi replied pointing at Riya's direction near the railing and others let out a sigh of relief finding both of them safe ; but then the Arjun Rawte was still dancing.

Aana baatein pyaar ki laana
Aana thoda pyaar jataana

"bichari vo bhi shock me chali gayi hai."

Chhotu muttered stealing a glance at her ,then back to Arjun.

Raanjhanaa hua main tera...
Kaun tere bin mera
Ho.. kaun tere bin mera.

Riya finally blinked taking all the happening around her ,then moved her eyes to Arjun ;who was quite engrossed in enjoying himself.

Confused with him,and all the situation she started climbing off the stairs not blinking her eyes from Arjun for once.

Her hair was now showered with the faint colours of the air,flower petals but she didn't bother to get rid of them as her mind was too much occupied over that one person,who had now brought an old lady ,dancing and him twirling her with a never ending smile on his face.

(Rang bikhra bikhra
Sab nikhra nikhra
Jaayein jidhar jidhar yeh naina Mujhe khud pe naaz

Hua pagla aaj

Raha apne hi bas hoon main na)

As she reached downstairs stood at a distance ,still eyeing Arjun, when some from the people being in engrossed in the celebration unintentionally pushed her forward.

She tried to get out of the crowd ,instead was pushed further until her back with something,causing her to turn around that instant only to realise that something was none other than Arjun's broad chest.

He paused his dance spotting Riya standing close to him with a blank look and he couldn't avert his eyes.

(Aana mujhe bas kar lena
Aana ja has kar lena)

Suddenly he was pulled by a random guy to continue the dance,hence he turned his back to Riya and resumed his dance.

(Hua chaaron ore shehnaai shor
Tu meri ore chal nikla
Chadhi prem lor o dil ke chor
Kar meri bhor ab mukh dikhla)

Riya stood there only,watching the Arjun she had never seen whereas the whole ETF was a mute spectator of the scenario with Shree ,chhotu exchanging glances,Ayesha ,sakshi trying to comprehend the silent moment between riya & Arjun and Rathore..well. his face was unreadable.
