**************************************
After the concert was over, Sonakshi and Pia walked out of the hall along with the rest of the crowd. Sonakshi could feel the crumbled piece of paper in her sweaty palm; it was almost midnight, how could she go and meet Rehaan as he had requested? Her heart was pounding in her chest as she tried to clear the confusion in her mind-her mind knew she should be home by now, but her heart and body yearned for Rehaan......jab itni der ho chuki hai toh kuch der aur bhi toh ho sakti hai.......she tried to reason with conscience.

"Pia.....sun...ek baat kehni hai," Sonakshi pulled her friend back from the crowd.
Pia looked back quizzically, "kya hua?"

Sonakshi opened her sweaty palm and showed her the note.

"Hmm Sonakshi.....are you sure?" Pia saw the longing on Sonakshi's face, "theek hai....lekin main bhi chalti hoon tere saath."

Sonakshi grinned and hugged Pia, "thanks a lot.....bas 5 minute milkar phir chalte hain."

They stepped aside from the crowd and ran backstage. The security guard recognized them and let them in. Rehaan was walking out with his guitar and other paraphernalia; he paused as soon as he saw the two women walking towards him.
Sonakshi paused and squeezed Pia's hand, "wo yahan aa raha hai Pia."

Rehaan walked ahead and smiled at them, "I hope you enjoyed the concert as much as I did," he glanced at Sonakshi from head to toe as he tried to express his pleasure.

"Of course Rehaan Sir....iss din ke liye hum kab se wait kar rahe the," Pia could not hold her excitement.

"Pia....do you mind if I borrow your friend for sometime?......I promise I will drop her back home......she is my responsibility," he kept staring at Sonakshi as he spoke. Sonakshi was a little uneasy with his gaze, she tried to shuffle a little and adjust her dupatta.

Pia looked at Sonakshi, "kyon madam? What do you want to do?"

Sonakshi stood still with her head lowered, but then looked up at Rehaan's longing eyes, "Pia....tu meri fikr mat karr.....main inke saath wapas ghar chali jaaoongi," there was something about his eyes that made Sonakshi accede to his request; she just could not say NO.

Pia squeezed Sonakshi's hand, "take care sweety.....zyaada der mat karna."
Rehaan thanked Pia and looked at Sonakshi, "thanks Samaira......agar aaj tum ne manaa kar diya hota, toh shayad mujhey apne aap par hi bharosa nahin rehta....chalein?"

Sonakshi nodded her head and followed him to his car. She had no idea why she was doing what she was doing......Rehaan had some unknown hold on her.....she was spellbound and entranced by him.......she was swayed by her desire and his passion.

A few stray autograph hunters tried to follow him, but Rehaan was swift and managed to drag Sonakshi along with him in his car and zoomed off to the chagrin of his fans. Sonakshi composed herself and chuckled, "lagta hai aapko logon se bhaagne ki kaafi practice hai."

Rehaan glaced at her with the corner of his eyes and smiled, "jab company itni beautiful ho, toh bhaagne ka kuch aur hi mazaa hai!"

Sonakshi blushed at his comment and bit her lower lip as she looked out the window, "achha yeh bataaiye aap le kahan ja rahe hain mujhey?"

"Ek sunsaan jagah parr....jahan sirf hum dono ho....aur koi nahin," he said suggestively

Sonakshi was a little taken aback by his comment; her heart started racing as she thought, "hey bhagwan, main yeh kya karne jaa rahi hoon......main toh Rehaan ko theek tarah jaanti bhi nahin......I am so foolish.....kahin....kahin......."

"Kahin main tumhare saath kuch ulta seedha na kar doon?" Rehaan completed her train of thought.

She was stunned, "aapko kaise......mera matlab hai....mujhey aap please ghar chhod deejiye," she said fearfully.

Rehaan swerved the car towards the beach and parked the car, "don't worry Samaira.....we will just take a little stroll and then I will drop you back......kya tumhey mujhpar trust nahin hai?" he held out his hand and smiled.

Sonakshi hesitated, but stepped out of the car and looked around, "kya aapko bhi beaches bohot pasand hai?"

"It is my favorite place after my dadi's lap," he took his shoes and socks off, and rolled his pants, "shall we?"

Sonakshi took her sandals off and started walking beside him, "dadi?"

"Hmmm.....Samaira meri zindagi mein bahut kam log hain.....bas ek dadi hain, ek close friend, Iqbal hai, aur.....aur," he paused and looked at her.
"Aur? Aur kaun hai," she asked softly.

"Aur shayad ek bahut beautiful ladki hai.....jisey main apna banana chaahta hoon,but she always shies away from me" he came closer and removed some loose tendrils away from her face.

Sonakshi felt a shiver in her spine as his fingers brushed her face and ears; she turned away and asked, "aapke parents? Bhai behen?"

"I have no one Samaira," his voice almost cracked, "jab se hosh sambhaala hai, bas dadi ki godh, mera guitar aur friend, Iqbal ka saath hi raha hai."

Sonakshi felt sorry for him; she turned towards him and saw the mist in his eyes- she could feel his pain and loneliness, "lagta hai aap apni dadi se bohot pyaar karte hain....kya main unsey mil sakti hoon?"

Rehaan smiled and wiped the little tear off his eye, "of course.....I will definitely want her to meet you....she is a little old fashioned....toh raat ki jagah din mein milna better hoga," he laughed.

"Main abhi ki baat nahin kar rahi thi," she laughed back; they both started walking again, "aur Iqbal?"

"Iqbal mera dost, mera bhai, mera manager, mera sab kuch hai....agar wo na ho, toh main kuch kaam nahin kar sakta....you know Samaira, I am a very forgetful man.....I need someone like Iqbal who can keep my life organized.....mujhey khud pata nahin hota main agle pal kya karne jaa raha hoon.....I live and enjoy life as it comes.....I live for the moment," he heaved a sigh and looked up in the sky, "I have never seen my parents, bas sirf unka ehsaas hai, waise hi jaise logon ko bhagwan aur khuda par hota hai."

Sonakshi thought that Rehaan was a very intriguing person- he was so different from what he appeared- his cool, I don't-care-a-damn rock star attitude was not the real Rehaan......he was a very sensitive and emotional person on the inside.......and perhaps, very lonely.

"Leki aapke itne fans bhi toh hain.....aap akele kaise ho sakte hain?" she asked
Rehaan chuckled, "Fans? I don't interact with most fans except some special ones," he grinned at her and brushed his finger against her cheek, "And.......the people I hate the most.......it's the press; I never give any interviews......it's a bunch of bullsh** I think."

"May be they are just wanting to know more about their favorite pop star?" Sonakshi argued.

"Samaira......no one needs to know about my personal life....my music speaks for itself........Chalo....thodi der baithte hain.....you must be tired," Rehaan found a spot on the clear sand and sat down with his elbows resting on his knees.
Sonakshi sat down next to him with her chin resting on her knees; she drew circles on the sand with her fingers as Rehaan admired her innocent beauty, her hair swaying with the gentle breeze and toes curled up in the sand. She kept removing her dupatta from her face, as it kept fluttering with the wind.

He came closer and touched her arm, "Samaira......tumney mere question ka answer abhi tak nahin diya."

"Question?" she looked up, a little puzzled, and did not get startled this time when he brushed her soft, bare skin with his fingers.

He came even closer, so their feet touched each other on the soft sand; his toes gradually crawled and caressed her feet sensuously. Sonakshi could feel herself getting flushed once again; as his foot traversed further up on her foot and shin, she felt goose bumps rising in her skin.

His hand moved up from her arms to gently trace her neckline, chin, and then her lips, "wo question jo maine dressing room mein kiya tha tumsey......about these petals," he whispered.

Sonakshi closed her eyes as her dupatta flew and covered her face; Rehaan could clearly see her chest heaving and the pulses in her beautiful long neck throbbing with excitement. As his toes and fingers crawled gently on her skin, Rehaan noticed her tips swell up through her thin kurta. He pulled the veil off her face and covered her neck and chest gently, "if you can't say, then express it through music Samaira.....I love your voice."

Sonakshi opened her eyes and realized what had just happened; even though she had not said anything, her body language had given away her inner feelings.
Rehaan was aware that she could probably express herself better by singing, rather than words.

She lowered her eyes and started humming this beautiful song

Tu aata hai seene mein
Jab jab saansein bharti hoon
Tere dil ki galiyon se
Main har roz guzarti hoon

Hawaa ke jaise chalta hai tu
Main ret jaisi udti hoon
Kaun tujhe yun pyar karega
Jaise main karti hoon
Ho ho....
Meri nazar ka safar
Tujhpe hi aake ruke
Kehne ko baaqi hai kya
Kehna tha jo keh chuke

Rehaan was entranced by her voice and lyrics. He leaned backwards and lay down on the sand with his eyes closed.

Meri nigaahein hain
Teri nigahon pe
Tujhe khabar kya be-khabar
Main tujhse hi chhup chhup kar
Teri aankhen padhti hoon
Kaun tujhe yun pyaar karega
Jaise main karti hoon
Ho ho....
Tu jo mujhe aa mila
Sapne hue sirphire
Hathon mein aate nahi
Udte hain lamhe mere
Meri hansi tujhse
Meri khushi tujhse
Tujhe khabar kya be-qadar
Jis din tujhko na dekhun
Pagal pagal phirti hoon
Kaun tujhe yun pyaar karega
Jaise main karti hoon
Ho ho....

When she stopped singing, there was a serene harmony in the air; only the gentle sounds of the waves hitting the beach were audible. Rehaan and Sonakshi did not say anything to each other, but their silence had spoken to each other; their hearts were beating in unison and their souls had as if become one tonight.

Finally, he got up and brought his face close to hers. They were lost in each other's eyes, when Rehaan could not hold himself any longer. He bent down and his lips gently lingered against hers. To his surprise, she did not resist or protest. Instinctively, her arms curled around his neck, as his tongue helped part her lips further. He gently guided her with his arm and lay down on the soft sand with her. Their lips and tongues danced back and forth in ecstasy, a dance that set both their bodies on fire. Sonakshi moaned with pleasure, as Rehaan's tongue explored deeper corners of her mouth; she had never experienced anything like this before, and neither had he. His hands wandered around her neck and shoulders as their kiss deepened from a sweet blend to a more passionate and intense union.

Sonakshi was not aware of herself or her senses- she did not want this moment to end- she had no feelings of guilt; it felt so right, as if it was meant to be.......

Rehaan's mobile started buzzing in his pocket. They both came into their senses; Rehaan got up and answered, "Haan Iqbal? Sorry, main tujhey bataana bhool gaya ki mujhey thodi der ho jaayegi.....don't worry yaar.....bas aata hoon.....jaanta hoon dadi ko meri fikr ho rahi hogi.....Ok...bye...see you in a bit."

Sonakshi got up herself and was a little startled by what had just happened. She fixed her hair and dupatta and stood up, "please....mujhey......ghar chhod deejiye.....I am sorry," she was almost tearful.

Rehaan cupped her face in his palms, "sorry? Samaira......please aisa mat kaho........It was the best moment of my my life...please don't be sorry."

Sonakshi looked up hesitantly and stared at him with misty eyes, "aap please mujhey ghar le jaaiye.......I think I got carried away by my emotions."

Rehaan got up and put his arm around her, "chalo.....let's go......don't worry Samaira, aisa kuch nahin hua hai.........tumney wo hi kiya jo tumhare dil ne chaaha,it wasn't a crime........sirf pyaar tha."

Sonakshi looked at him and then lowered her eyes, "pyaar?"

Rehaan smiled and whispered, "haan pyaar Samaira......main tumsey pyaar karta hoon Samaira.......I love you!"

Sonakshi's world came to a standstill; it was almost as if she had been hit by a tidal wave.......she had just been kissed by a man for the first time and now.......he just declared that he loved her.........She knew Rehaan had a delirious effect on her....she felt mesmerized and enthralled in his presence.......her body craved for his touch......his voice filled her senses.......and his kiss had just weakened all her resolves to stay away from him......was this what people called love? Was she really in love?
***********************

She gave him directions to her apartment complex. Rehaan insisted on dropping her all the way to the elevator, "nahin Samaira......parking lot mein akele nahin jaane doonga......I will not leave till you are in the lift.....by the way, can I have your phone number?"

Sonakshi wrote down her mobile number for him and then walked into the elevator; she turned around and said softly, "aapko ek baat bataani hai," she really wanted him to know her real name.

Rehaan placed his finger on her lips and kissed his finger, "jaanta hoon Samaira......tumhe kehne ki zaroorat nahin hai......I know you love me too," he winked at her as the elevator doors shut between them.

Rehaan sighed and turned around to leave. He dialed his mobile, "Iqbal......main aa raha hoon......kahan milna hai?"

He glanced at the sign on the wall, "Hmm....Bijoy Bose....yahi honge Samaira ke father....apartment 507!" and made a mental note as he walked to his car.

Author's Note- Before you all start saying that how can Sonakshi kiss Rehaan....let me ask you one thing!! In many fanfictions, Dev's character has been shown as a play boy. He has kissed many girls and even slept with them in some cases. But we have accepted it, and love those FFs. However, if a girl kisses some other boy, then why aren't we able to accept that with ease?? Rules should be same for both the sexes. Please remember that, patriachical society is also strengthened by our biased thinking.

Love Till Eternity has gone far ahead in its storyline... Do check that, if you haven't

Precap- Most Awaited- Dev sees 'Real' Sonakshi😍😍
