MANAN FF "ROOM MATES"

unsaid words

Khawabon ne hi dil dukhaya aankhon ka
Hathon mein hai dard juda huye hathon ka..
Sath chala jo mere bas wo, tera saaya tha
Sadiyon tujh ko chaaha bas do pal ko paaya tha

Manik's P.O.V 

The night could've been smooth on me but surprisingly it wasn't , sleep did pass by my door yet I don't know what it was that kept me awake either the excitement to finally start our album tomorrow after weeks of vocal training  or was it what nandini said last night . My thoughts were keeping my head occupied as I took a glance of me in the mirror fixing my hair , I stepped out to see nandini all dressed up and ready to leave as she saw me and moved towards the door

" we have to go to the same place so we can go together " I suggested

" But I am not going to the studio " she replied

" huh ! why ? " I asked 

" You have a solo recording today , what would I do there ? " she replied

" just a second " I said and grabbed my phone out of my pocket and called Siddharth sir 

" here talk to him " I handed nandini my phone and she talked to him 

" so ? " I asked as she ended the call she stretched her hand to give me my phone back but instantly pulled it back , and I knew the reason why ? she must've seen my wallpaper , she handed me my phone back

" he said I should come and check out how things worked and I needed to collect the composition for my solo " she replied and I mentally thanked Siddharth sir 

" so shall we ? " I asked and she nodded as we both headed towards the elevator

I called up the elevator and stepped back looking at her , she was busy looking at the ground fiddling her pair of keys around her fingers as the strands of her hair untucked in the loose bun she had made and as much as I would like to open her hair at this moment I have to admit  that she looks beautiful and only I know how hard it is for me to hold myself back from tucking them behind her ear off the cheek I wanted to pull so badly , she gently bit her lip as per her habit and Oh Lord ! how much I wanted to kiss her , her head turned towards me and her breath hitched witnessing the intensity in my eyes , I would've kissed her if it wasn't for the sound of the elevator doors opening which somewhat disturbed that one intense eye lock as we entered in the jam packed elevator

I was squished between two mushy teen girls gawking at me lovingly as if I bought them a bag full of makeup that their mums refused to buy , and I was enjoying it because it clearly it bothered Nandini

" No way Manik Malhotra ! " she yelled as soon as we walked out

" what ? " I asked

" Not on the bike " she yelled

" pehli baar baith rahi ho ? " I mocked

" last time was my last bike ride with you " she replied

" oh really ! then grab a cab , oh wait , isn't it impossible because there are no cabs around here at this time " I sassed

" but I am not going anywhere with you " she stressed

" oh really ? then what about 'na tum mujhe pareshan karo na main tumhe pareshan Karun , lets stop arguing' and all that " I mimicked

" ugh fine ! " she  gritted her teeth and sat on the bike as I smirked and ignited the engine , an awkward start where for 15 minutes all she kept doing was hesitating in holding my shoulders until I took a sharp turn and her hands automatically made their way around my waist and after that she didn't leave me and I couldn't care less why all I knew was that she is holding me , what more could I possibly want

we reached the studio and it took her less than a second to get off the bike , she walked in and I followed

" good morning " Tarun greeted

" Hi " nandini replied

" hope we're in time " I asked

" Oh yes absolutely " he replied leading our way to the recording booth as he opened the door I saw siddharth sir and three of the music composers for our album , after what seemed a formal greeting I got to hear the composition , markings and all that were somewhat required as I put on the headphones and the music plays , nervousness takes over me as my hands shiver a bit , I took a deep breath and kept looking at nandini and after that nothing felt more peaceful than that

Tu safar mera
Hai tu hi meri manzil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil I started singing and nandini's eyes shot up , her eyes staring at me and my breath raging

Tu mera Khuda
Tu hi duaa mein shaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil I closed my eyes and her smile flashed through ,

Mujhe aazmaati hai teri kami
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Junoon hai mera
Banoon main tere qaabil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil the way she giggled when I tickled her and that long deep breath that she took when I used to hold her close before falling asleep

Yeh rooh bhi meri
Yeh jism bhi mera
Utna mera nahi
Jitna hua tera all those time when she ran up to me to hug me  when I came back from for work , all those days when she woke up breathing on my chest and all those nights we fell asleep kissing

Tune diya hai jo
Woh dard hi sahi
Tujhse mila hai toh
Inaam hai mera and now that she isn't in my arms, it hurts ....  I open my eyes to see her eyes brimming with tears

Mera aasmaan dhoondhe teri zameen
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi I couldn't tell what it exactly is that is hurting her at this moment , the words or the intensity of my words

Zameen pe na sahi
Toh aasmaan mein aa mil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil

Maana ki teri maujoodgi se
Ye zindagani mehroom hai
Jeene ka koi dooja tareeka
Na mere dil ko maaloom hai The only lines I actually wanted her to hear and feel were the ones I sang with the most intensity

Tujhko main kitni
Shiddat se chaahun
Chaahe toh rehna tu be-khabar
Mohtaaj manzil ka toh nahi hai
Ye ek tarfa mera safar, I meant no other words more than I meant these . and I knew that it hit her straight as a tear slid down her cheek

safar Khoobsurat hai manzil se bhi
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi she clutched the arm rest of the chair looking everywhere except me , her hands shivered a bit and her breath hitched

Adhura hoke bhi
Hai ishq mera kaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil I ended the song earning an applause from everyone outside while she just sat there as her eyes met mine and she kept looking at me until I was called out

" great job manik " she said and asked siddharth sir to leave and he couldn't stop her afterall who could ever

hope you enjoyed.....................................happy reading-Bia :)
