**************************************

Third person P.O.V:

Abhimanyu looked at his fingers, they were entwined between the spaces of Ayesha's. He nuzzled against her neck as he slowly ran his gaze along his arm, which linked around hers. A smile caressed the corners of his lips while Ayesha continued staring into the distance.

Suddenly, she held up her hand. Taking a glimpse at her watch, she turned her attention to Abhi. "Hey, don't you have that date today?" She asked him.

Abhimanyu lifted his head from on top of hers as they both sat up. "Yeah, but it's no biggie." He gave her hand a little squeeze as he smiled.

"Don't bail on it for me, go!" She insisted as she nudged him in the hip.

"But. . . The bus?" He asked hesitantly, pointing towards the busy road.

"It'll be here soon." She said as she pressed on his shoulders.

Abhimanyu jumped down from the wall and held out his hand to Ayesha. She shuffled forward but stopped short. Abhi smiled as he held up his other hand and pulled her down, she stumbled onto her feet.

Ayesha smiled at him as she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, she took a step back and held up her thumb. "All the best." She sniffed as she slowly looked down at her black converse.

Abhi held her shoulders as he chuckled softly. He lifted her chin but her eyes never met his. "Itni senti kyun ho rahi ho? Date pe ja raha hoon, border pe nahi (Why are you getting so emotional? I'm only going on a date, not war)."

Ayesha continued looking away, Abhi followed her gaze to find her looking at Rohan and Tanya who seemed to have sorted out their differences. He smiled and opened his mouth to say something but pressed his lips back together.

After a few seconds he spoke. "I'll let you figure this one." He said as he engulfed her into a bear hug.

Ayesha let a giggle slip. "Now go." She said as she pushed him away. Abhi walked away after giving her one of his infamous smiles.

Ayesha stepped back, leaning against the wall as she watched him go.

Suddenly, she shouted. "Abhi!" He stopped walking and turned to face her. She began jogging her way towards him as he waited for her at the corner.

"Your jacket." She said, stretching her arm to him. "Keep it, you'll get cold." He refused, pushing the jacket back. She shook her head, shaking the jacket towards him. "I'll be fine. Plus I still need to give back your other jacket. . ."

"Take it, it'll be useful on your date." She said after a pause, winking at him.

Abhi held onto Ayesha's hand, with a gentle tug at her fingers he pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her neck. "Tum kahogi toh nahi jaunga (I won't go if you say)." He said with a mischievous smile.

Ayesha rolled her eyes. She unclipped Abhi's arms and held onto his shoulders, turning him in a one hundred and eighty degree angle, she held the jacket behind him. "Put your arms in." She instructed.

As Abhimanyu slid his arms through the sleeves, he inhaled the air, trying to get a grasp of what the fragrance was.

"Is that Boss?" He asked, referring to the brand of the perfume. "The one we bought together, right?"

Ayesha nodded, briefly unaware that he couldn't see her.

"Yes." She smiled as she adjusted the jacket around his shoulders.

Abhi tilted his head back so it rested on her shoulder. "Soch raha hoon irrada badal loon. Abhi bhi mauka hai, rokh lo mujhe (I'm thinking of changing my plans. There's still a chance, stop me)." He whispered into her ear as he pulled her hands onto his chest.

"Shut up Abhi." She giggled.

"Choddo, meri bus aa rahi hai (Leave me, my bus is coming)." Ayesha squealed, pointing her head towards the sea green double decker approaching them.

"Acha, jao (Fine, go)." He sulked as he loosened his grip on her hands.

Ayesha tightened her grip around him. "Bye." She said as she hugged him quickly and made her way towards the bus.

Seeing the bottom deck of the bus full, Ayesha started walking up the narrow staircase. She looked around as she reached the top of the stairs, the deck was empty. She sauntered to the seats in the middle of the bus and sat down with a loud thud, releasing an exasperated sigh. Resting her head against the cold window she put her play list on shuffle.

(A/N: I'm continuing this flashback from where I left off in the last chapter).

Ayesha threw her head back against the headrest as she cursed her luck.

Rohan gazed at her as he munched on his bucket of popcorn. He watched as her features scrunched up in irritation and began leaning into her ear, simultaneously Ayesha looked up, smacking her forehead against his.

"Shoot! I'm so sorry." Rohan mumbled as he massaged her forehead with his thumb, Ayesha slapped his hand away and quickly ran her fingers over the lumpy spot.

She shot him one last glare and looked back at the screen. Rohan blinked several times before he leaned over and kissed the spot on Ayesha's forehead.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ayesha flared her nostrils as she pushed him away.

Rohan jumped back in his seat, his hands held defensively in front of him.

"I was just kissing it better." He pouted innocently.

"Well, don't." Ayesha warned.

Rohan nodded and slowly sunk into the material of the burgundy seat. He jerked his head towards the screen and shoved a handful of popcorn down his throat while chugging down some Pepsi to swallow the remains of popcorn.

He sneaked a glance at Ayesha, motivation overwhelming him, she was engrossed in the film but her features remained irritated. Cautiously, he leaned in, this time stopping a few inches away from her ear.

"Oi, khatta nimbo (sour lemon)!" He whisper blurted, in an attempt to get her attention.

He shoved a hand over his mouth as soon as he realised the words that had left him.

"Kya musibat hai (What's your problem)?" She murmured without turning to look at him.

"Yaar, tumse koi baat nahi kar sakta hai kya (Can't anyone talk to you)?" He asked, removing his hand.

"Aur tum mooh band karke nahi kha sakte (And can't you close your mouth while you're eating)?" Ayesha asked, revealing why she was annoyed.

"Chappar chappar karna zaroori hai (Is it necessary to make chewing sounds)?" She added.

Rohan shrugged at her and threw a popcorn into his mouth, chewing loudly with his mouth open on purpose.

Ayesha scowled at him while he flashed her a cheeky grin.

***

Ayesha's eyes moistened as the little girl on screen attempted to speak. She let out a little 'aww'.

She looked over her shoulder as she heard quivering lips. Of all the people she expected, she saw tears streaming down Rohan's cheeks. She watched as he brought up his hand and wiped the tears away with the back hand side and nibbled on a handful of popcorn.

His eyes looked sore and puffy, she felt her heart pinch at the sight. She took out the packet of tissues in her pocket and held one in front of him.

Despite the darkness she could see his cheeks flush as he looked at her. His eyes wandered restlessly, avoiding hers. Graciously, he took the tissue from her and dabbed it under his eyes.

* * F l a s h b a c k f i n i s h e s * *

Kisi aur ko tu chaahe
That you love someone else
Kisi aur ko tu soche
Or you think of someone else
Iss dil ko nahi ye gawara hai
This heart would not accept that

Furqat ka sharara hai
It's a spark of separation
Kaisa angara hai
What a flame it is
Teri tishngi ne mujhe maara hai
Your thirst is killing me

Bewajah nahi milna tera mera
It's not without reason that we met
Rehnuma, rehnuma, rehnu-
O my guide, my leader

As tears threatened to spill, Ayesha pressed next on her play list.

"Arre, aage kyun kiya? Itna acha gaana tha (Why did you skip it? It was such a nice song)." Asked a voice.

Ayesha turned her neck to find Rohan sitting beside her. He looked into her eyes, slowly reaching towards her.

"Tum ro kyun rahi ho (Why are you crying)?" He asked, worry evident in his tone as he scraped his thumb under her eye.

Ayesha flinched away as Rohan touched her, sparks flying in the atmosphere around them.

"Tumne mujhe current kyun maara (Why did you give me an electric shock)?" Ayesha asked, stroking the spot under her eye.

"Maine kahan? Tumne maara (When did I? You did)." Rohan argued back.

"Nahi, tumne (No, you did)." Ayesha insisted, pulling her earphone out of his ear.

"Tsk." Rohan groaned. "Lagi (Did it hurt)?" Ayesha asked, reaching over to him.

Rohan smirked as he shook his head. Ayesha slapped his arm, once, and then twice. "You know I hate you." She sighed.

"And I love you." Rohan spoke, looking straight into her eyes.
