Orange sky
Hour of Dusk
When dopamine level starts going down
A click sound and the door got open
She entered her room
Keeping the keys on desk...
And bag on coffee table
Switching on the depressed yellow light.....
Throwing her jacket on sofa carelessly
And got burried on her new pink couch
This colour sucks....
Idiot huda....
Who present someone a pink bean bag on birthday.....
Scrolling her Instagram
She saw a post
Of aditi Mittal.....
The nutritionist of the base......
Dating Captain rajveer......
Both in some resturant......
The background read a board of
'Stephanie tea house'
She scrolled down
And it was alekh.....with his new girlfriend....menhaaz.....
And then it was an image of buffalo
Huda 's new pet.....
Practically everyone around her....
Creating new chapters in their life.
Meeting new people
Getting along
Well she is trying too.....
That impulsive, obsessive, hot headed naina is long gone.
She should haven't been there at first place
Naina......the one in kma
Was kind of a Doppel ganger of her existence.
The dark and scary part of her....
Like a hurricane of fire
Which can destroy everything that comes in her way.
It's not completely her fault though
She was young
And had this strong belief that life has been so unfair with her..
That she is a victim....
That she is the most unfortunate to receive so much pain and sadness......
But as life got unfolded in front of her
As she met new people and learned new experiences
She realised that she is not the only one fucked up.....
Everyone has there own blues
The spotlight is not Just on her....
She learned with time
That you need to just go on with life without complaining much about it
That's the only way of sanity.
To everyone's surprise she even dated once for almost six months.
And it did end up well...
The reason of separation being the guy moving to a different city.
And they were not really into for a long distance relationship.
Even checked out some of the guys her parents showed.

Some other day
"one orange mojito and a raveoli please"she smoothened her hair while still engrossed in the menu card....
he was casually noting her demeanor , she was beautiful...
"and what will you have...."she caught him staring and he hesitantly looked down...
"oh ..repeat the order only an LIT for me instead of mojito"he says quickly
"i presume you havent been out in a really long time..."she smiles comfitingly .....
"uh...not like that"he sounds embarassed
she chuckles at it
"i knew it ...no wonder u are so nervous...seems like personal relationships dont suit u"she says.....she bites her tongue regretting as his already nervous face wrinkled a but at her remark..."uhh...i didnt mean it that way i am sorry"she says..her voice soft and serious .
".
" indeed i am sorry for seeming rather aloof...and aisi koi baat nahi hai....its just that i have been really occupied last few years...and yes... the idea of socialising after a long time did get me a bit off guard...specially when i am doing it with someone so beautiful"he says warmly clearing off initial tension between them and finally both are smiling
"hmm...aloof yet charming...u are full of contradictions major sheekhawat"she stirs in her drink with a straw....
"and you know how to use complements at the right time...."she adds...."seems like i ve swiped right on someone really interesting..."she sips her drink..
"u are rather genrous in giving complements yourself..."he smiles...a bit lighened up..shoving off his initial nervousness as the date is going better than he had presumed it would.....she was witty, smart yet humble and Adil wont get punched for setting him up this time...bach gaya sala...zindagi me ek kaam aisa kiya jiske liye pitega nahi ..he thought to himself....
"so u have been working here since long?.."he asks sounding rather confident this time..
"umm..not really...moved in a couple of months back...i work here as a tax consultant at whithead executives.."she says...
the dinner went well...she was indeed an interesting company and all through the evening he was sure he would call in for another date....

"what exactly do you want....raj"
Adil asked
As they sat at the top of the tank drinking beer.
"I don't know.....
I mean....
I just know what I don't want"
"And what is that , that you don't want"
He asked again
"I don't want someone who gives up easily on any relationship....
Like .... I am not expecting someone to move mountains or something for me...
But at least someone who ...."
Amd he tried to search for the correct metaphor... When Adil interrupted
"Who can move atleast a tree"
He suggested
And Raj gave a lame expression
"Chii. Adil....tere humour ko cancer ho gaya hai"
He replied
"Huhhhh.... Funny"
Adil gave a short laugh
"What is funny"
Raj asked taking one more sip.
"Everytime
You explain that why particular girl is not one for you....
You end up refering naina..... As the measure card
Why don't you ask her out"
He said very casually
Making booz go down from his brain
As Adil layed unaware of what string he had touched.
Raj sat there thinking about her....
All these years....
It was indeed just her....
What he has with naina.... He can never have with anyone else....
_so basically Heeba wanted to do something with a particular plot
And we had written this
But I don't think I can commit something lengthy
And we got stuck
So I am gonna cut short our original plot.
