Next day.......
Aarohi said , " Navya ? ". Navya hummed in response. Aarohi said , " Suno to ". Navya replied , " Kuch bologi tabhi to sunungi na ".
Aarohi said , " Mein ye soch rahi thi ki na Aarav sir mujhe pyaar to karte hai na ".
Navya replied, " Karte to hai , par ye sab ab kyu puch rahi ho tum ".
Aarohi said, " Mujhe wo pasand hai , unhe hum. To wo baat kar kyu nahi rahe aage. I mean insaan apni feelings to share kare mujhse ".
Navya said , " Lagta to tumhe bhi ki wo tumhe pasand karte hai. Tum bhi to apni feelings express kar sakti ho na. Kisne kaha ki sirf ladko ko propose karne ka right hai ".
Aarohi said , " Mein aur propose, kyu majaak kar rahi ho ". Navya replied, " Pyaar karne se pehle socha tha tumne ye sab. Ab tum girls math lagana band karogi ".
Aarohi asked ," Girls math ? ". Navya said , " It is an psychology of girls that if you love a guy. Then the guy must know the same thing itself. He had to propose to you himself and in this way you will get the guy you love without making the first move ".
Aarohi chuckled, " Sounds interesting ? ".
Navya replied , " But you are not gonna try it ". Aarohi said with a puppy face , " But why ? ". Navya said , " These are stupid theories which end up ruining relationships ".
She further continued , " If you have feelings. Then you should have the courage to express it. " Aarohi said , " But I am nervous ".
Navya said, " You can do it. He is the guy you loved for years and surely he may also have the same feeling for you. Your one step is gonna make you unite for forever ".
Aarohi said , " Par ........... ". Navya interrupted her in between and said , " Kuch bhi kehne se pehle meri baat suno ,tumhari internship ka hardly ek mahina bach raha hai.Tumne paanch salo se bas wait hi kiya hai, ab aur postpone kiya to Fir baad mein regret reh jaega ki kaash pehle confess kar lete to ek saath jyada aise jyada time spend kar pate. Warna long distance ka to tumhe pata hi hai na ".
Aarohi replied, " Long distance ye kaha se aa gaya beech mein ". Navya said , " Jab ye project khatam ho jana hai, tumhe Ambala laut jana hai Aarav sir ko New Delhi. Tumhare pas ek saath ki yaadein hi reh jani hai. Is se pehle late ho jaye kar do confess ".
Aarohi said , " you are right , I can't take risks anymore. I will clarify it ". Navya patted her back and said , " That's the spirit ".
The only problem with introverted people is that they know very well how to love someone deeply ,but they don't know how to express it clearly.
Aarav and Vihaan were seated in Vihaan's cabin. Vihaan asked , " Fir kab kar rahe ho aap Aarohi ko propose ?".
Aarav scratched the back of his neck and said , " Thoda jaldi nahi hai ? ".
Vihaan replied , " Pasandida aurat ko propose karne mein kya jaldi kya late ".
Aarav said , " Baat to sahi hai tumhari ".
Vihaan said , " To bana lo usse meri Mrs. Singhania officially ".
Aarav said, " Usne mana kar diya to ? ". Vihaan said , " Aap baat to karo mujhe pata hai wo mana nahi karegi ". Aarav raised his eyebrow ," You mean she loves me ? ".
Vihaan shrugged his shoulders and said ," Wo sab wahi jaane ab ". Aarav said , " Par ....... ". Vihaan said , " Wo sab chodo aap usse party mein bula rahe ho na shaam ki ? ".
Aarav said , " Mein to bhul hi gaya tha , usse invite karna ". Vihaan said , " Ab kar do fir ". Aarav said , " Haa or Navya se bhi keh dena tum ". Vihaan gritted his teeth and said , " Wo to maine kab ka kar diya ".
Aarav said , " Someone is being really fast forward here ". Vihaan said , " Aap chalao apna slow burn maine apni love story mein aise aag nahi lagani ". Aarav shrugged his shoulders and said , " Whatever ".
Time skips......
Navya and Vihaan were discussing some upcoming project work. Vihaan's professional side made her astonished. She always thought he was an immature spoiled brat who was born with a silver spoon.
But along with passing time she is getting to know about his good qualities too, which she was ignoring for the past two months.
Kisi ke liye nafrat itni na badhana
Ki chah ke bhi na mita sako
Aur kisi se mohabbat bhi aisi na karna
Ke tod ke wo dil tumhara
Aise usse chur kar de
Tumhe tumhare hi hisse ki
Khushiyo se door kar de......
Vihaan asked , " So , You are coming to the party , right ? ". Navya said , " Yes ". Vihaan said , " I will reach at 8 pm to pick you up from your place ".
Navya asked , " What about Aarohi ? ". Vihaan replied , " She and bhai will come separately ". Navya asked , " But........ ". Vihaan said , " They need time together and we also need it ".
Navya said , " I don't know how to say it but I want to say that please don't have high expectations from me in all this."
Vihaan said , " I have only one expectation from you which is that you just stay with me. That is more than enough for me ".
Navya said , " Abhi ye sab acha lag raha hai tumhe , kuch time baad thak jaoge, tum one sided efforts laga kar thak jaoge ". Vihaan said , " Tum zidd nahi meri jo pura nahi hua to khud se hi naraaz ho jau, pyaar ho mera tumse haar bhi gaya to bhi aisa hi lagega ki iss haar mein bhi ek jeet chupi hai.Mere liye har wo moment special hoga jiski wajah tumhe khush karna ho ".
Navya said , " Ek baat kahu tumse ? ". Vihaan hummed in response , " Jab mann ko pata ho ki samne wala aaya hi jaane ki neeyat se hai to uska haath thamne ka koi faida nahi rehta hai ". Vihaan replied , " Mera mann to bas mujhse ek hi baat kehta hai ki koi sauda nahi karna tumse jo nuksaan dekh kar peeche hat jau. Ishq ki kashti hai ek ne bhi jyada ache se sahara laga diya to ye jo uljhan ka samundar hai paar ho hi jaega ".
Navya murmured under her breath , " Ye Aarohi ki company mein reh kar aise dialogues seekh raha hai. Sahi hai karte raho koshish mein nahi honi aise hi impress ". Vihaan asked , " Have you said something ? ".
Navya said , " I was saying we will talk about it later. For now , I had to give outlines of this project work to Aarav sir as soon as possible. So let's wind it quicker. Right ? ". Vihaan hummed is response.
Time skips..........
Aarav was driving for Aarohi's place. He parked the car outside. He called her to confirm if she is ready so they can go to the venue then. She said that she will be there in a minute.
Aarav's back was facing towards her entrance of their home. Suddenly the tik-tok sound of heels reached his ears. He turned back only to find Aarohi descending the stairs.
She was gently holding the plaits of saree while approaching him. Her focus was on fixing the saree. She had worn a red organza saree with a red backless blouse.
She had worn silver jhumkas and for hairstyle she opted for open hair with loose curls. All these things adorned together made her looks like a pretty doll.
Reference for her look :
Aarav's P.O.V. -
I think I am falling for her again. If girl is beautiful like her than ofcourse her man is gonna fall for everyday harder than before. Viewing her in a saree was one of the most ethereal moments I witnessed ever in my life.
My heart beats are racing now. I don't know what is definition love according to other people. For me its her every feeling I feel towards her is love.
Aarohi nervously reached him and said , " I hope maine jyada late nahi karaya aapko ". Aarav said , " No we are not late at all. By the way you are looking really pretty today. I mean saree suits you. You should wear it everyday. "
Aarohi said , " I would gladly wear it.But, unfortunately I don't know how to wear it. Even today Navya made me wear it and still I am finding it difficult to make it stay intact .I don't know why all these complicated things are made for girls".
Aarohi again got busy with plaits of her saree and said , " Ye plaits ek jagah tik kar kyu nahi de rahi ". Aarav asked , " May I help ? ". Aarohi asked in a surprising tone, " You know how to do it ? ".
Aarav asked , " Only if you allow me ". Aarohi nodded for a yes. He gently approached her and his hand went near her lower abdomen where the plaits were set.
He asked for a safety pin through gestures. Aarohi provided it he gently loosen the plaits and after fixing it perfectly. He placed a pin to secure it.
Aarav took a step back and said , " Now it will not get spoiled. You can walk freely now". He had a assuring smile on his face. Aarohi did a small walk here and there to check if the plaits remain intact.
After getting sure, she said with a bright smile , " It really worked , by the way how do you know to do it ". Aarav said , " I had seen my dad doing the same for my mom for years ".
Aarohi said , " Your future wife will be lucky to get you who know these skills which I don't know even after being a girl". Aarav said, " I think its even less than bare minimum if you could help your partners in getting ready ".
He further continued , " I will be luckier as she finds me worthy that she can leave her entire family who raised her with a lot of affection and care to partner up with me in a commitment of marriage ".
Aarohi replied , " Your parents really raised a gentleman." Aarohi said, " Kaash mere husband ko bhi saree drape karne jaise hectic tasks aate ho ".
Aarav murmured under his breath, " Tum haa to karo ek bar iraade to mere tumhare husband banne ki hi hai ". Aarohi asked , " Kuch kaha aapne ".
Aarav quickly replied ," Nahi to mein to kuch nahi keh raha tha ". Aarohi said , " Chale kya late ho rahe hai ". Aarav said , "Haa ".
Aarohi moves towards the car with Aarav. He opened the door for her. After making sure she sat comfortably , he reached another gate of the car and got seated on the driver's seat.
Aarav asked while turning on the music system, "Any specific preference for the genre ? ". Aarohi said , " My choice is old school. You might get bored ".
Aarav replied , " Who told you old school is boring. I mean who will not love the song who is wrapped in a blanket of nostalgia and being honest Even I am not a big fan of current era music ".
Aarohi replied with a bright smile , " Oh really ! Thats actually nice. I can't explain how happy I am." Aarav gave an assuring smile to her and Aarohi took control of the music system there.
Music starts to begin which soothes the environment like a wave of peace is immersed in air. This was relaxing but another element was mixed in air which is romance with an essence of 70s vibes.
प्यार दीवाना होता है
मस्ताना होता है
हर खुशी से हर ग़म से
बेगाना होता है
प्यार दीवाना होता है
मस्ताना होता है
हर खुशी से हर ग़म से
बेगाना होता है
As soon as Aarav recognised the song an relaxing expression covered his face, while Aarohi was enjoying the song while looking out of window.
शमा कहे परवाने से परे चला जा
मेरी तरह जल जायेगा यहाँ नहीं आ
शमा कहे परवाने से परे चला जा
मेरी तरह जल जायेगा यहाँ नहीं आ
वो नहीं सुनता उसको जल जाना होता है
हर खुशी से हर ग़म से बेगाना होता है
प्यार दीवाना होता है
मस्ताना होता है
हर खुशी से हर ग़म से
बेगाना होता है
Now Aarohi was also humming the song in her sweet voice. Her voice is his melting point and this soothing song in her soft and sweet voice made him feel even more better than before.
रहे कोई सौ परदों में डरे शरम से
नज़र अजी लाख चुराये कोई सनम से
रहे कोई सौ परदों में डरे शरम से
नज़र अजी लाख चुराये कोई सनम से
आ ही जाता है
जिसपे दिल आना होता है
हर खुशी से हर ग़म से
बेगाना होता है
प्यार दीवाना होता है
मस्ताना होता है
हर खुशी से हर ग़म से
बेगाना होता है
Suddenly, Aarav also joined her. As soon as Aarohi recognised his voice along with the actual song playing. She stopped humming the song while looking towards the window and turned towards Aarav gasping in little surprise.
She had never seen him singing or even humming a song. But instead of showcasing her confusion, she chose to be calm and enjoy the moment going on.
सुनो किसी शायर ने ये कहा बहुत खूब
मना करे दुनिया लेकिन मेरे महबूब
सुनो किसी शायर ने ये कहा बहुत खूब
मना करे दुनिया लेकिन मेरे महबूब
वो छलक जाता है
जो पैमाना होता है
हर खुशी से हर ग़म से बेगाना होता है
प्यार दीवाना होता है
मस्ताना होता है
हर खुशी से हर ग़म से बेगाना होता है
Now both of them was singing along the lyrics making the moment more magical. Thats how their drive went magical , musical and an essence of 70s romance.
Love Language ?
Singing your favorite song with the love of your life while being in a car drive 🎶💕
Soon they reached the venue. Both of them got out from car. They were going to the venue through a park, when Aarav stopped Aarohi.
Aarohi asked , " Is everything alright ? ".
Aarav said , " I just have to give you something". Aarohi hummed in response and Aarav get on his knees.
Aarohi nervously said , " What are you doing now ". Aarav said , " Just wait for a while and you will get to know everything. He took out a box from the pocket of his trouser.
With every passing second her heartbeat was racing more faster. She found it difficult to conceal her nervousness. Aarav placed the box aside.
He took off her sandal and placed her feet on her knees. She said , " Ye kya kar rahe ho aap ". Aarav said , " Ab jo leke aaya hu , wo pehnana to chahiye na".
It made her even more confused until he opened the box unboxing a beautiful pair of anklets. He took it outside and made her wear it. A bright smile appeared on her face seeing it.
After he made her wear them. He placed her feet down and made her wear sandal. He was about to make her wear sandals again. But she slightly pulled back her feets in a nervous manner and said , " Don't make me feel embarassed by letting you touch my feets ".
He gently placed her feet on sandal and said , " My mother believes that every women is an incarnation of Lordess Lakshmi and I don't feel embarassed to touch the feet of a Godess and I don't think any man should be ".
Calm expressions occured on her face after getting such a answer from him. She curiously asked , " Waise achanak se ye gift kisliye ? ".
Aarav said , " One of my friends used to say that if someone is actually important in your life. Then you have to make sure they feel worth it in your life and I think gifts are the best option to make someone feel worth it in some unique ways ".
Aarohi asked , " Kya mein sach mein important hu aapki life mein ? ". Aarav replied , " Bahut jyada , itna ki shayad mein abhi isse explain nhi kar sakta".
A slight blush appeared on Aarohi's face.
Aarohi again asked , " Par ye payal hi kisliye ". Aarav calmly explained , " Ye jo paayal mein ghunghroo hai na wo nishani hai uss raunak ki jo meri zindagi se jaise gayab si ho gayi thi. Par jab tum aayi to aisa laga wo khoyi si raunak waapis aa gayi ho ".
Aarav's P.O.V.
I could gift anything else so easily. But anklets plays a really important in my life as a symbol to love. Because I had seen my father gifting anklets to my mother on every anniversary of them.
He says that these anklets were the symbol of their love which grow stronger with time and also the first gift which he gave to her during their dating era. It somehow described that how even after years their love remained the same. So he gift it to mom every year signifying that even today he love her the same way he used to love twenty five years back.
I also want that the bond of love between us remains the same like my parents. So , I also want to follow this anklet ritual with my love who came as a sunshine character to my black and white life to shade it with colours of love.
Aarohi replied , " I am glad to know that I am able to retrieve your lost chaos ". Aarav replied , " You were the spring season to the dry forest of my life who is bringing back that sunshine boy who was lost somewhere in this race of life ".
Aarohi's P.O.V.
Even I miss the boy I met five years back. He was the real one I fell for. His bright smile. His optimistic approach towards every problem in life. I mean he is still understanding, but still I sense a change in his personality. No one can deny the fact that he had actually become grumpy. Keeping aside the fact that due to certain circumstances that his behaviour towards me was softened more quicklt than other people. But his approach towards life had turned a little pessimestic during these years. I know he pretends to be okay while being with me but I want that he feels good in his own presence, because I had seen him crying due to grief and regrets of past. I don't want him to suffer back again due to any circumstance.
Aarohi said , " Andar chale ab ? ". Aarav nodded in response. The jingling sound of bells in her anklets was an soothing music to his ears. It remarked that how her entry brought the lost light back in his life.
Time skips..........
Vihaan was sitting in the car , when he saw Navya approaching towards the car while carrying the saree gracefully and walking in a confident manner. He loved this fact about her that she loves to be confident in every situation.
But she also feels him to be worthy to breakdown in his arms whenever she feels emotionally drained which makes him even more proud that she chose him atleast to share his sorrow now and he knows that in future she must be comfortable enough to hug him even in every happy moment of her for sure.
She was wearing a black saree with some stone work on horizontal border.She chose silver earrings to opt with it along with open hair with curls.
Reference for her look :
Vihaan don't know how to react at the beauty standing right in front of him.He was just gawking at her with an open mouth. She was elegantly tucking the hairs behind her ears.
Navya signalled him to open the door while snapping her finger towards him which made him back to the sense. He quickly opened the lock of door. She sits on the passenger seat. He started driving the car to destination.
She said , " If you are done staring me, Lets leave ". Vihaan quickly said , " I was not doing it ". Navya replied , " Oh really! The way you were scanning me from tip to toe with an open mouth explained it all ".
Being little embarassed, Vihaan said , " It is my kind of way to appreciate someone ". Navya said with irritated expression, " Please change it in future ".
Vihaan said , " As you say my highness ".
A blush crept on her face as he said highness and to hide the little smile on her face she turned towards another side.
It doesn't go unnoticed by Vihaan.To tease her even more. He played a soft background music which seems to be an autotune of some punjabi song. Navya was little confused until the lyrics started and Vihaan was singing along with it in his magical voice.
Main tere pichhe auna aa
Main dillon tainu chauna aa
Tu mud pichhe vekh taan sahi
Main tera ni deewana aa
Mainu kar lainde pyar
Mera kar aitbaar
Main haan tera begana yaar
Mere dil de vichar
Sun behke kole yaar
Haan karni main chauna aa
Tu mud pichhe vekh taan sahi
Main tera ni deewana aa
Oh mere naal gallan karni
Mainu thoda jan lai
Tu bina gall na dar ni
Mainu tu pechhan lai
Tu bina gall na dar ni
Mainu tu pechhan lai
Mainu hans ke dikha
Mainu gale lag ja
Dil hoya ae virana aa
Jodi ban lain de
Rab mann lain de
Dass tera ki ae jaan aa
Tu mud pichhe vekh taan sahi
Main tera ni deewana aa......
Navya's P.O.V.
I don't know how every lyrics he sung landed straight in my heart. If it was an trick to impress me. Then I am impressed. Music is something that makes my worst moment better and here the guy who love me is singing his heart out for me. I don't think there could be anything better than it. I was not an hopeless romantic person but I am someone who always wished that my partner sings for me.
Navya said , " You sing really well ". Vihaan said , " Jab inspiration itni khubsurat ho to awaaz to achi lagti hi. Mein har wo cheez karna chahta hu jo tumhare dil ko sukoon de. Waise samne dashboard kholo tumhare liye kuch hai uss mein ".
She opened it and a bright smile appeared on her face due to the bouquet placed in it which was made from choclates , flowers and a cute little soft toy.
She said, " Tumhe kaise pata ki mujhe choclates and flowers pasand hai ? ". Vihaan said , " Pichle janam mein detective tha mein ". Navya replied , " Oh really! Jaise mein to guess kar hi nahi sakti ki tumhe ye sab information Aarohi de rahi hai ".
Vihaan said , " Acha acha ye to batao, ki uska ye information mujhe dena kaam aya bhi ya nahi ? ". Navya shrugged her shoulder and said , " May be or may be not ".
Vihaan murmured under his breath , " Yaha mein subha se bouquet pasand karte thak gaya or ye maybe or maybe not pe atki huyi hai. " Navya raised her eyebrow and said , " kuch kaha tumne ? ".
Vihaan said , " Yahi ki tumhe impress karne mein ye janam to pura lag jana hai ". Navya said , " Puri zindagi ladkiyo ko apne aage peeche ghumaya hai. Ab ye ek ladki ko impress karne mein itna kyu dar rahe ho ".
He deeply stared into her eyes , " Unn sab ladkiyo mein se ek bhi ladki mera pyaar nahi thi. Par ye ladki aaj mere samne bethi huyi hai wo mere liye bahut important hai jisko mein nahi khona chahta ".
Mujhe manzil se lena dena hai
Uss pal mein..
Jis safar mein mere humsafar tum ho.
Par abhi to tum..
Khud hi uljhano mein gum ho
Par humne bhi ishq kiya hai
Nek se iraado mein
Manzil bhi paa lenge
Aur tumhare dil tak rasta bhi bana lenge.
His gaze made her a bit nervous. She quickly broke the eye contact. She started looking outside the window. He understood she needs some time. So instead of adding to her worries. He chose to stay quiet and brought his focus back to driving.
