REHAAN's PERFORMANCE AT PARK HOTEL:

Sonakshi and Pia were captivated by Rehaan's rich voice; his soft romantic numbers sounded even more melodious in person than they did on a CD.

"Next, I am going to sing a song for all of you," Rehaan spoke in his deep baritone, "just like the rainbow has seven colors, this song illustrates the seven colors of love......the seven stages of love....here you go," he gently swerved on his stool and started humming:

Chaahe Tum Kuch Naa Kaho
Maine Sun Liya
Ke Saathi Pyaar Kaa
Mujhe Chun Liya
Chun Liyaaaa
Maine Sun Liyaa

Pehla Nasha
Pehla Khummar
Naya Pyaar Hai
Naya Intezaar
Karloo Mein Kya Apna Haal
Aye Dil-e-Bekaraar
Mere Dil-e-Bekaraar
Tu Hi Bata

Pehla Nasha
Pehla Khummar

Udthaa Hi Fhirun
Inn Hawaaon Mein Kahin
Yaa Mein Jhool Jaun
Inn Ghattavon Mein Kahin

Udthaa Hi Fhirun
Inn Hawaaon Mein Kahin
Yaa Mein Jhool Jaun
Inn Ghattavon Mein Kahin

Ek Kar Doo Aasman Aur Zameen
Kaho Yaaron Kya Karu Kya Nahi

Pehla Nasha
Pehla Khummar
Naya Pyaar Hai
Naya Intezaar
Karloo Mein Kya Apna Haal
Aye Dil-e-Bekaraar
Mere Dil-e-Bekaraar
Tu Hi Bata

Pehla Nasha
Pehla Khummar

Usne Baath Ki Kuch Aise Dang Se
Sapne De Gaya Hazaaron Rang Ke

Usne Baath Ki Kuch Aise Dang Se
Sapne De Gaya Hazaaron Rang Ke

Reh Jaaun Jaise Mein Haar Ke
Aur Choome Woh Mujhe Pyaar Se

Pehla Nasha
Pehla Khummar

Sonakshi was floored by the song, "kitni depth hai Rehaan ki awaaz aur soch mein," she thought, "kya pyaar sach much aisa hota hai? Kaash.....ek din mujhey bhi koi aisa pyaar karne waala mil jaaye...."

"Hello!" Pia snapped her fingers in front of Sonakshi's eyes, "ab toh yeh dupatta apne chehre se hataa do......kya soch rahi ho?"

Sonakshi came out of her trance, "kuch nahin......main dupatta nahin hathaaungi......agar logon ne mujhe pehchan liya toh??."

"Ladies and Gentlemen....I am going to end the evening with an old favorite of mine......O O jaane jaana!" Rehaan got up and started strumming his guitar; the audience started cheering and clapping with the beat of an all time favorite song, which had made Rehaan a star in a short period.

O O Jaane Jaana
Dhoonde Tujhe Deewana
Sapnon Mein Roz Aaye
Aa Zindagi Mein Aana

O O Jaane Jaana
Dhoonde Tujhe Deewana
Sapnon Mein Roz Aaye
Aa Zindagi Mein Aana Sanam

Mera Khwaab Mere Khayaalon Ki Rani
Kisi Din Banegi Hamari Kahani
Mera Khwaab Mere Khayaalon Ki Rani
Kisi Din Banegi Hamari Kahani
Ay Meri Bekhudi Ye Kasam Maine Li
Pyaar Mein Ek Din Meri Jaan Tujhe Hai Paana

Sapnon Mein Roz Aaye
Aa Zindagi Mein Aana
O O Jaane Jaana
Dhoonde Tujhe Deewana
Sapnon Mein Roz Aaye
Aa Zindagi Mein Aana Sanam

Rehaan got off the stage and started dancing with his guitar in between the tables. All the girls and women swooned over him; they tried to touch him, hug him, pose with him, even tried to kiss him. Rehaan then stopped at Sonakshi and Pia's table and sang to them.

Kisi Khoobsurat Pari Jaisi Hogi
Mujhe Kya Pata Dilruba Kaisi Hogi
Kisi Khoobsurat Pari Jaisi Hogi
Mujhe Kya Pata Dilruba Kaisi Hogi
Sochta Hoon Tujhe Chahta Hoon Tujhe
Dil Mera Keh Raha Saare Faasle Mitaana

Suddenly, Rehaan paused; he gazed at the beautiful pair of eyes staring at him.......they were the most striking pair of eyes he had ever seen........he could not see her face behind the black veil........but he thought he could read everything they had to say........iski eyes mein kitna depth hai!! Aisa lagta hai jaise main inhe janam janam se pehchanta hoon........

The audience started clapping, nudging him to continue his song. Rehaan came out of his trance and started singing softly........

O O Jaane Jaana
Dhoonde Tujhe Deewana
Sapnon Mein Roz Aaye
Aa Zindagi Mein Aana

O O Jaane Jaana
Dhoonde Tujhe Deewana
Sapnon Mein Roz Aaye
Aa Zindagi Mein Aana Sanam

O O Jaane Jaana
Dhoonde Tujhe Deewana
Sapnon Mein Roz Aaye
Aa Zindagi Mein Aana

O O Jaane Jaana
Dhoonde Tujhe Deewana
Sapnon Mein Roz Aaye
Aa Zindagi Mein Aana Sanam
Aa Zindagi Mein Aana Sanam

Sonakshi realized that Rehaan had been staring at her; she was very embarrassed and lowered her eyes. She did not have the courage to look up any more. As soon as the song finished, she prodded Pia to leave, "chal ab chalte hain.......9 bajne waale hain.......mamma papa ko bahut chinta ho jaayegi."

Pia relented and held Sonakshi's hand as they tried to escape through a dark corner of the hall.

Rehaan saw the two women trying to leave quietly. He noticed the woman with the beautiful eyes was very fearful and shy when he had been near their table.......kaun hai yeh ladki? Kahan se aayi hai? Itna sharmaa kyon rahi hai? Why is she having that affect on me?

He started humming as everyone cheered him up for singing another song.

"Yeh gaana uss unknown ladki ke liye hai jo sirf apni aankhon se bolti hai.....aur shayad uski awaaz seedhe mere dil tak pauhanch rahi hai.........," he said as he strummed his guitar:

Aankhon Mein Teri
Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai
Hoo Aankhon Mein Teri
Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai

Dil Ko Banade Jo Patang Saa Se
Yeh Teri Woh Haawaien Hai )... (2)

Sonakshi paused at the door as she heard the song. Her heart was thumping inside her chest, her breaths heavy; her palms were clammy as his voice and lyrics pierced her heart........mujhey aisa kyon lagta hai ki yeh gaana meri wajah se gaa raha hai.......she shut her eyes and tried to calm down. Pia was glad that Sonakshi had decided to stay back.

Aai Aise Raat Hai Jo
Bhahut Khushnaseeb Hai
Chahe Jise Door Se Duniya
Woh Mere Kareeb Hai
Kitna Kuch Kehna Hai
Phir Bhi Hai Dil Mein
Saawal Hai Kahin
Sapno Mein Jo Roj Kaha Hai
Woh Phir Se Kahun Ya Nahi

Aaankhon Mein Teri
Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai
Hoo Aankhon Mein Teri
Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai

Dil Ko Banade Jo Patang Saa Se
Yeh Teri Woh Haawaien Hai )... (2)

Rehaan came down the stage again and stood behind the two women at the door. Everyone turned around to see what had caught their pop star's attention.
"Apna naam nahin bataaogi?" he said huskily into Sonakshi's ears.

She almost died when she realized he was so close to her; her legs felt like jelly.....she wanted to run away, but could not.

Pia smiled and was about to say, "Son.......," but Sonakshi interrupted her friend and quickly said, "Samaira," and ran away from the banquet hall to stop outside the lobby for a taxi. Pia followed her friend, "Sonakshi ruko......apna naam galat kyon bataaya?"

Rehaan stood still for a few moments, "Samaira? Naam toh kitna modern hai,but why is she shy??......But I like that.....I like it a lot!" he smiled and turned back to join the guests.

As they sat in the taxi, Sonakshi burried her face in her palms, "Pia.....yeh kya ho gaya aaj? Main ab kisi ko mooh dikhaane laayak nahin rahi."

Pia rolled her eyes, "mooh toh tu waise hi kisi ko nahin dikhati......itna bada parda jo hai tere mooh parr," she chuckled.

"Wo kya soch raha hoga? I hope your Kartik bhaiyya does not get into trouble.......yeh sab meri wajah se hua hai......I should not have come with you," Sonakshi started sobbing.

"Relax Sonakshi.......why are you so scared of everyone? Kuch bhi toh nahin hua.......Rehaan was just interested in knowing your name.......maybe he was just inquisitive......aaj kal ke zamaane mein aakhir aise parda kaun rakhta hai? And that too in front of a hottie like Rehaan!" Pia laughed.

"Ab main yeh galti kabhie nahin karoongi Pia......I am so embarrassed........kahin koi pehchaan le humein......kahin mamma papa ko pata chal gaya toh? I will die if they find out," Sonakshi clutched Pia's hands.

"No one will know....trust me.....waise bhi Rehaan thinks you are Samaira....and he has not even seen your face......so chill sweetheart......tu mera bhi blood pressure badha rahi hai!" Pia tried to reason with Sonakshi.

MEANWHILE AT THE BOSE RESIDENCE:

Bijoy and Asha were engrossed with their daily dose of prime time soaps on TV, when Asha said, "aaj yeh dono kahan hai? Bahut chup chup hain.......khaana maangne bhi nahin aayi abhi tak."

"Maybe it is a good thing Asha......shayad exams ki tayyari kar rahi hongi," Bijoy said absent mindedly, as he was focused on his favorite news program.
Asha was concerned about her daughters, "bechari kitni bhookhi hongi......main dekhti hoon."

Samaira was busy in their room, watching some Youtube videos of the day's match between India and West Indies. She was wearing jeans and a sleeveless top, and sat with her legs folded on the chair with eyes fixated on her computer screen.
"Samaira!" Asha knocked on the door.

Samaira hastily minimized the Youtube window on the computer and let the monitor display an economics paper instead, "haan mamma.....kuch kaam tha? Wo bas exams ke liye padh rahi thi."

"Sonakshi kahan hai?" Asha looked around. Sonakshi and Samaira shared a large room in their apartment. They each had a desk and a twin bed on either side of the room.
"Wo....wo.....washroom mein hai mamma.....do you need her?" Samaira asked innocently.

"Nahin.....jab bahar aa jaaye toh mere paas bhej dena......thodi sabzi kaatni hai," Asha knew Sonakshi would never hesitate to help her in the kitchen; Samaira on the hand was a different story-she would be happy if Samaira would learn how to make a cup of tea one day!

"OK mamma!" Samaira stretched her arms, as if she was exhausted from all the mugging for her exams.

As soon as Asha left, Samaira got up and changed up into one of Sonakshi's salwaar suits. She fixed her hair like Sonakshi's and made a serious face, "haan.....ab main Sonakshi jaisi seedhi saadhi lag rahi hoon," she checked herself in the mirror and stepped out of her room.

Sonakshi and Samaira were indeed identical in every way. Their heights, weights, features, complexion, voices were IDENTICAL. Their mother could usually tell them apart, but their father often mistook them for the other one, especially if they were dressed alike. Since adolescence, they had developed their unique style of dressing and of course their personalities were poles apart, so their parents usually did not get confused.

There was, however, one major difference: Sonakshi was right handed and Samaira was left handed! It is a well known scientific fact that a quarter of all identical twins are actually mirror images of each other. If one is left handed, the other one is right handed. In fact, some people theorize that every left handed person is actually the only survivor of an original twin pregnancy!

Samaira joined her parents in the living room, "mamma....kya kaatna hai?" she spoke softly like Sonakshi.

"Sona....wahan bhindi (okra) rakhi hai....zara kaat de......aur phir chaunk bhi dena," Asha pointed to the vegetables lying on the kitchen table. Samaira was horrified- she would actually have to enter the kitchen, cut vegetables and even cook them!
"Sonakshi ki bachhi! Kahan phansa diya mujhey?" Samaira cursed her twin.

Samaira sat down at the table and looked at the bhindi as if they came from an alien land!

Samaira started cutting the vegetables with her left hand, but saw Asha approaching her from the corner of her eyes. She quickly transferred the knife to her right hand and clumsily started cutting the bhindis.

"Sonakshi! Tere haath mein kya hua? Aise kaise kaat rahi hai?" Asha was puzzled to see her normally deft girl being so clumsy in the kitchen.

"Wo mamma....aaj main gir gayi thi.....mere seedhe haath mein chot lag gayi thi," Samaira lied through her teeth, but kept her eyes on the table; although she was a compulsive liar, she could never look her parent's in the eyes when she was lying.

"OH...sorry beta....jaa main kaat deti hoon......jaakar hamare room se bandage laga le......aur haan Samaira ko bhej de mere paas.....iss bahane usey hi kuch kitchen ka kaam sikha doon," Asha felt sorry for Sonakshi. It was not unusual for Sonakshi to remain silent after any major injury or bruise, unlike of course Samaira, who would make sure the whole neighborhood knew of every minor scratch she ever sustained!

Samaira got up obediently and said softly, "Samaira toh washroom mein hai."

"Washroom mein?" Asha asked, "aaj tum dono washroom zyada nahiin jaa rahi ho?"

"Wo aaj college ki canteen mein khaana kharaab tha......kai logon ko food poisoning ho gayi," Samaira looked away and said.

"Oh....pehle bataana tha....tum logon ke liye soup banaa deti phir.....achha jao bandage toh laga lo," Asha stroked Samaira's hair and sent her off.

Samaira went to her parent's room and called Sonakshi from there, "Sonakshi! Kahan ho tum? You are going to get me into trouble!"

"Main raaste mein hoon Samaira.....kya mamma papa ko shaq toh nahin hua?" Sonakshi asked worriedly.

"Filhaal toh nahin hua.....but hurry up.....and don't ring the bell.....just whatsapp me......and come inside very quietly...OK?" Samaira whispered loudly on the phone.

Samaira paced up and down in her parent's room and waited for Sonakshi's text message.

Asha came in to check, "kya hua Sona? Bandage nahin mila?"

"No mamma.....I need to rush," she made a red face and ran into her parent's washroom with her phone.

Asha shook her head, "bechari Sonakshi...waise hi itni dubli patli hai.....ab food poisoning se toh bilkul kamzor ho jaayegi."

Asha came back to the living room and joined her husband. Just as she sat down, they heard a loud scream , "AHHHHHHH!"

They got worried and ran to their bedroom.

They saw 'Sonakshi' (actually Samaira) shaking fearfully in their bedroom.
"Kya hua Sonakshi?" both her parents ran to her.

"Chipkali! There is a lizard in the bathroom mamma!" Samaira yelled.

Her parents rolled their eyes, "Sonakshi....tumne toh hamari jaan hi nikaal di thi.....chalo ab khaana khaate hain," Asha reassured her frail little daughter, "kuch Samaira se seekho....wo kitni brave hai.....chipkali kya, sher bhi ussey darr jaaye!"

In the meantime, Sonakshi came back and tip toed into her room. Samaira had warned her that she was actually 'Sonakshi' that evening, so Sonakshi had to quickly change up into Samaira's jeans and top to look authentic. Sonakshi was never comfortable in jeans and tops. She kept covering herself with her hands and stretching her top down, "yeh Samaira ki bachhi itne chote chote tops kyon pehanti hai?"

Sonakshi came out of the bedroom, dressed up as Samaira, "Hi mamma...Hi papa!" she tried to act chirpy and bubbly like her sister.

"Ab kaisi tabiyat hai?" Asha asked 'Samaira'(actually Sonakshi)

"Tabiyat?" Sonakshi was surprised.

"mamma! My tummy! Ouch!" Samaira (real one pretending to be Sonakshi) held her tummy with her hands and rolled in 'pain'

Sonakshi (real one) understood what was going on, "better hai mamma....lagta hai Sonakshi (real Samaira) ko dard ho raha hai."

"Haan....naa jaane kya khaa liya tum dono ne aaj?" Asha was worried, "exams ka time hai.....bimaar ho gayi toh lene ke dene padh jaayenge!"

Samaira (real one) gestured to Sonakshi, "W-E   B-O-T-H H-A-V-E F-O-O-D P-O-I-S-O-N-I-N-G!"

"Oh!" Sonakshi (real one) said silently.

Asha, meanwhile came back with 2 cups of hot turmeric milk, "tum dono yeh haldi ka doodh pee lo.....saara dard theek ho jaayega."

The girls were mortified-they hated haldi ka doodh! That was the most disgusting thing in the world.

"mamma.....ab mera dard better hai...shayad khaana khaane se hi theek ho jaaye," Samaira (actually Sonakshi) said, as the real Sonakshi would never disobey her mom.

"Koi baat nahin....PEE LO CHUP CHAP!" Asha ordered her girls. The sisters made a disgusting face and pinched their noses as Asha made sure they drank the yucky concoction.

Samaira (real one) glared at Sonakshi as if warning her, "this is all because of you! Main bhi dekh loongi tujhey!"

"Let's have dinner girls," Bijoy joined them after his news show was over.

The girls obediently sat down for dinner and started serving themselves with their non-dominant hands.

"Samaira....tere haath mein bhi chot lagi hai kya?" Asha noticed that

'Samaira' (actually Sonakshi) was spilling half the food on the table while serving herself with her non-dominant hand.

"OH....mamma....aaj main gir gayi thi," Sonakshi (real one) said.

Asha was really confused, "tu bhi gir gayi thi? Sonakshi bhi gir gayi thi aaj......hey bhagwan meri dono betiyon parr yeh kaunsi nayi problem aa gayi hai??.....bechari aaj dono ke din ache nahin the."

Both Sonakshi and Samaira remained quiet, but thought, "mamma...on the contrary, it was the best day of my life."

Sonakshi (real one) thought, "aaj ki shaam main kabhie nahin bhool sakti," she shivered as she remembered how close Rehaan was to her, and how he had melted her insides with his husky voice- Apna naam nahin bataaogi? Sonakshi was cursing herself now for saying 'Samaira' instead of her real name- she was just so frightened at that time, so on an impulse had said her sister's name.
Samaira had a habit of getting into trouble all the time, and Sonakshi thought Samaira would not mind it if she found out.

Samaira (real one) thought, "aaj Virat Kohli ki century kya kamaal ki thi....kaash main wahan live match dekh rahi hoti......hai mera Kohli.....he is my superhero......my superman....my spiderman.....my batman! Kaash meri zindagi mein bhi koi aisa superhero aa jaaye....!"
