Vihaan's POV:
It was six in the evening, I was sitting on the bed in my room playing a game.
"No!.... No! No, no, no, no.... Noooo!... Shit!" I angrily kept my phone beside me on the bed as I lost the game. I had been playing this game since twenty minutes for nothing. I wanted to throw my phone against the wall, but then I thought that my mother would throw me out of the house for doing that, so I suppressed my urge.
I laid down on the bed and picked up a pillow to cover my face. I tried taking deep breaths to calm myself down.
Soon, my phone started buzzing. Lazily, I looked at it - it was Maaya.
She is my friend from college.
"Hey! What a coincidence! I was thinking about you only!" I exclaimed, getting up from my bed.
"Really?" she asked innocently. I was damn sure she must be blushing right now.
"Of course!" I said, while cleaning my room. My mom had asked me to give her my dirty clothes for laundry half an hour ago. She would kill me if she had to remind me of it again.
"So, what are you doing?" she asked as I picked up a dirty sock before smelling it.
I made a weird face before throwing the socks in the laundry basket. "Nothing much, just... chilling."
We both talked for a while before she hung up saying that her mother was calling her.
I was now standing near the window in my room.
As I turned around, my eyes fell on my guitar. It was lying in a corner of my room.
Suddenly, my lips curved up in a smile as I remembered the girl I saw yesterday at college.
I picked up my guitar and decided to go to my backyard.
There is an open gazebo in our backyard. It has a table and four sofas.
I sat there on one sofa and started singing the same song that I was singing yesterday when I saw that girl.
chehra hai ya chaand khilaa hai
zulf ghaneri shaam hai kya
saagar jaisi aankhon waali
ye to bataa tera naam hai kyaa
(is it your face, or the moon itself shining,
is it your hair, or a dark evening itself?
O one with eyes (deep) like the sea,
at least tell me what your name is.)
tu kya jaane teri khaatir
kitna hai betaab ye dil
tu kya jaane dekh raha hai
kaise kaise khwaab ye dil
(you have no idea
how restless this heart is, for you.
you have no idea
what kind of dreams my heart is dreaming.)

Vartika's POV:
I parked my scooty outside my Uncle's house and went in.
"Umm... Wow! What smells so good!?" I asked my Aunty as soon as I entered the kitchen.
"Your favorite, Gaajar ka halwa!" she announced.
"Really!? For me?!... Aww, Aunty!.... Why are you so cute!" I said, hugging her from behind.
"Hmm... Enough my drama queen. It's for you only. You can have as much as you want," she said making me chuckle.
I kissed her on her cheeks and said "Thank you. By the way, where is Vihu?"
"I don't know. Maybe in the backyard," she said.
"Okay!" I said and kissed her on her cheek again.
"And thank you so much! I love you! You're the best!" I said and hugged her tightly.
"I love you too! Now go...Vihu, must be waiting for you," she said.
"Okay!" I said before breaking the hug.
I went to the backyard and found Vihaan sitting on the sofa.
He was singing a romantic song while playing his guitar.
aaj main tujhse door sahi
aur tu mujhse anjaan sahi
tera saath nahin paaun to
khair tera armaan sahi
(Today I'm far away from you,
and you are unknown to me,
and if I don't get your companionship,
well, at least I'll have your thoughts.)
ye armaan hai shor nahin ho
khamoshi ke mele hon
is duniya mein koi nahin ho
hum dono hi akele hon
(This is my desire that there be no noise,
but festivals of silence.
that there be no one else in the world,
but just the two of us, all alone.)
I don't know why but for some reason, his voice sounded more melodious than it always does. It felt like the lyrics were coming right from his heart.
tere sapne dekh raha hoon
aur mera ab kaam hai kya
saagar jaisi aankhon vaali
ye to bataa tera naam hai kya...
(I am dreaming about you,
what else is my work now...
O one with eyes deep like the sea,
at least tell me your name.)
My lips curved up in a smile as I remembered someone. I quietly stood behind him and listened.

Vihaan's POV:
My mind kept making me think about the girl while singing the song.
Or actually, maybe I myself wanted to think about her. Otherwise why would I choose the same song!?..
Umm.. Maybe because you like the song!...
Ok stop!... Shut up Vihaan!...
"Wow! You have improved your singing a lot huh!", Vartika said startling me as soon as I finished the song.
"When did you come?", I asked.
"A while ago! I didn't wanted to disturb you so I quietly listened.", she said while sitting on the sofa in front of me and I nodded.
"By the way in whose memory were you singing that song huh?!", she asked teasingly.
"Whatever?!!", I said with a smile.
"Come on, don't act in front of me!.....I know you...and that smile says everything!", she said and I shook my head.
"Fine!... If you don't wanna tell me then don't!.... By the way, I made some cookies for you!", she said.
"Where is it?", I asked happily.
Seriously, she makes the best cookies!
"Inside!", she replied.
"Why didn't you bring it here?", I asked.
"I forgot and I'm too lazy to bring it now!... So eat it when we go in!", she said.
I just scoffed and shook my head.
"Are you actually not gonna tell me who is she?!", she said making me chuckle.
"Is it the girl that you met when you were about to kiss Zoya in the hallway, who scolded you!?" She gasped and then teased.
"Wow!... Your memory is really great!... I'm impressed!... And, yes it's the same girl,"
"Oh!.. So, do you like, have a crush on her now or something?"
"Well, I am not sure... But, I saw her yesterday,... and it's not like I have never seen beautiful girls... I have... a lot!.... But, she is something different... For the first time, I forgot my lyrics when I saw her... And I never forget my lyrics when I see girls, so this says something!... I don't know what was that and what happened to me!" I said.
"Wow!.... That sounds so romantic!... Do you know her name?" she asked.
"I don't even know who she is!.... But I just hope, I meet her again!" I said.
"You will! Don't worry!" she said making me smile.
