"Moments, when passed becomes memories, when present its a beautiful phase."

Every single moment gives you innumerous memories. Some bitter sweet moments, some loving moments, it always remains mixed. Mumbai, a place where everyday thousand of people comes to live, to dream, to achieve, never leaves anyone unattempted.

Mumbai does not meant for only jobs or dreams, it comes with scenic beauty too, so, when Rajveer and Naina got a chance to visit places, they did not miss that chance.

When they got to know, they have a day off before their dress rehearsal, they grabbed this opportunity. After having breakfast of bread and juice, they ran towards their room to get ready for the day.

Rajveer was waiting for Naina from 15 minutes, but she is nowhere, when he got tired he dialled her number, but before it could ring, Naina came out of her room.

The sight left him spellbound, he saw Naina in Salwar for the very first time, that too in his favt colour, blue. Her face was radiating a glow. Her small jhumkis, her light pink gloss was giving an enchanting look.

He then looked at his t-shirt, co-incidentally he was also wearing blue. Naina looked at him and was mesmerised. That oversized t -shirt was, his silky hair, that muscular body. She understood why every single of their college is so mad about him. She cant blame them.

They somehow controlled their emotions and started their journey for Mumbai darshan.They took a cab for their ride and the radio played.

Hum jo chalne lage
Chalne lage hain yeh raste
Manzil se behtar
Lagne lage hain
Yeh raste

Naina looked towards Rajveer with a big grin, as the song suits their condition so beautifully. Rajveer said the driver to increase the volume of the song, and he did it.

The roads, buildings, trees, even the sun started their journey with them. Everything was so beautiful. Naina forgot about the places she wants to visit, the journey itself is so thrilling. An unknown city, unknown people, yet everything is so known and most important she is travelling alone with Rajveer.

Hum jo chalne lage
Chalne lage hain yeh raste
Manzil se behtar
Lagne lage hain
Yeh raste

Suddenly Rajveer started singing the song, Naina hate to accept but she always loved his voice. It gives a feel of serenity.

She looked towards him with a smile on her face, when suddenly Rajveer tapped on her shoulder and showed her the most popular dargah, Haji-Ali, standing right in the middle of Arabian Sea.

Naina's face beemed with happiness, but they thought to start their journey after visiting Siddhi -Vinayak temple only. Within 16 to 17 mins they reached the temple.They took the driver's number and went to visit the temple. After a blissful worship, they moved towards Gateway of India.

Aao kho jaye hum
Ho jaye hum yun lapata
Aao milo chalein
Jana kaha naa ho pata

The breath-taking view of gateway left them speechless, on the opposite side, standing the the iconic Taj Mahal Palace in red and white.

Though everything seemed so known to Naina, she still ignored her thoughts and enjoyed the day, when Rajveer pulled her towards the ferry ride.

The ride which gave a stupendous view from the mid of Arabian sea. After their ride taking numerous pictures of themselves and also of the beauty, they came to colaba causeway.

Baithe baithe aise kaise koi
Rasta naya sa mile
Tu bhi chale, main bhi chalun
Honge kum yeh kabhi fasle

They were having golas from the market. Rajveer was failing every single time to have it and Naina broke into laughter when he crushed the ice and started drinking it.

After finishing it and Rajveer mimicking her after getting irritated with her constant laughing, they started their shopping spree. Though Naina was not at all interested, Rajveer was the one who was showing her different products.

After a long hour struggle, Naina sat at the side of the road, when Rajveer looked at her and pulled her up and started pushing her from back to reach their car.

Baithe baithe aise kaise koi
Rasta naya sa mile
Tu bhi chale, main bhi chalun
Honge kam yeh tabhi fasle

They reached a cafe to have some refreshment before they proceed for their further journey, when suddenly Naina asked after ordering their coffee and wraps

"Wow ! Kitna maja aa raha hain na,kabhi socha nahi tha ki itna maja aayega wo bhi tumhare saath mein."

He looked towards her and asked

"What do you mean by woh bhi mere saath?"

Naina gave a toothy smile and said

"Are Rajveer jiiii, aapki yadasht itni kamzor kab se hogayi, Yaad dilau ki kya kya ,kiya tha aapne? Seedhe muh baat tak nahi karte the tum mujhse ,meri taraf dekhna to dur,jis raste main tumhe dikh jaati thi,ulte pair bhag jate the, aur to aur yaad karo kitni insult ki tumne meri har baar .Aur yaad dilau ya itna kaafi hain?"

Rajveer made a shocked expression and said

"Main ladta tha tumse? College ki bandit queen toh tum ho. Jab se aayi ho tab se kisi na kisi ko maarti hi rehti ho.Koi tumse dare na to kare kya."

Naina to divert his mind asked him

"Ek sawal puchu tumse, sach sach jawab doge Rajveer?"

He sipped water from his glass and said

"Haan pucho naa jo bhi puchna hain."

She with moist eyes, asked

"Kya sach mein, main itni buri hun ki tumne kabhi seedhe muh mujhse baat karna to dur ,meri taraf kabhi palat ke tak nahi dekha?

Tum Neekshu ,Sameera,Pooji se , even baki sabse kitna ache se baat karte the, behave karte the phir us din fresher mein wo sab aur uske baad bhi jab jab hum mile tumne har baar mujhe taklif hi di,Kyun Rajveer ?

Mere saath hi kyun?Kya tum ne jo kuch mujhe kaha tha, you mean all those words?"

He immediately hold her hand, which was placed on the table and said

"Aisa kuch bhi nahi hain Naina, its just mujhe tum kabhi samajh hi nahi aayi. Ek taraf tum ladti thi sabse toh dusri taraf darr bhi jaati thi. Kabhi itni brave, toh kabhi ekdum bacchi. Toh mujhe yeh samajh hi nahi aata tha ki tumhara asli roop kaunsa hain, woh brave ladki ya phir woh sehmi hui?"

She with a hope asked him

"To phir ab kya lagta hain tumhe kaun hun main?Kya hun main,do i deserve you,i mean your friendship?"

He looked downwards, and with a smile he said

"Tum woh ho jo apne dosto ko bachane ke liye kabhi naina devi ban jati hain aur kabhi apne bhai paa ke samne ek choti si bacchi."

He then whispered

"Tumse jyada koi aur mujhe deserve hi nahi karta hain,Naina. Kash main yeh bol pata tumhe ki tum meri kya ho? Par usdin ka intezar rahega jis din main puri duniya ke saamne chilla chilla ke sabko yeh keh sakunga ki tum meri saansein ho ,pyaar ho tum mera naina ,pyaar, aur tab tak yeh dosti hi sabse khaas hain mere liye,kaafi hain mere dil ko sukoon dene ke liye."

She became happy with his answer and started having their food.

Aaaao, tera mera Naa ho
kisise vaasta
Aao milon chalein

Jana kahan naa ho pata
Hum jo chalne lage
Chalne lage hain yeh raste
Manzil se behtar Lagne lage hain
Yeh raste...

They again came back to gateway of India, and took a ferry ride to reach elephanta caves. That massive rock cut caves took them to another level of satisfaction. The view of arabian sea, those faces of lord shiva brought a smile on Naina's face.

Rajveer immediately started clicking her pictures and pulled her to start their trek which almost gave them feel of running away. They laughed out loud imagining the situation and obviously seeing Rajveer's mimicry on different posture of idols.

Aankhein khole, neendein bole
Jaane kaisi lagi bekhudi
Yahan wahan dekho kahan leke
Jaane lagi bekhudi

They after their tour in elephanta caves came back to their cab and went to juhu beach. They forgot about time, they forgot about food. What was important to them was that moment and they want to enjoy every second.

After reaching juhu beach, Naina stood at a side and looked at the vast sea and its waves, Rajveer tried to gain her attention but failed. Finally he took help of a seller who was selling balloons and curved trumpet. He bought one and played it. Naina who was already lost somewhere, got shocked with the sound and turned around to see Rajveer was standing in between a bundle of balloons.

She got clapped immediately when Rajveer left all those and it flew in the sky. She joined her hand and kept her chin on it with a big smile on her face.

Aankhein khole, neendein bole
Jaane kaisi lagi bekhudi
Yahan wahan dekho kahan leke
Jaane lagi bekhudi

Rajveer closed Naina's eyes, and took her to a panipuri wala. She asked thousand question, why he closed her eyes but he did not replied. After reaching to the vendor he opened his eyes and said

"Competition ho jaye, kaun kitna kha sakta hain?"

Naina immediately agreed with him and started eating panipuri. Their eyes were misty due to chillies but none was ready to back out. While Rajveer was telling to increase the amount of chillies, Naina was wiping her eyes .

When they felt they both can't have anymore, they called both of them winners and paid the vendor when Rajveer took Naina to ice cream vendor. She asked

"Abhi toh itni saare paani puri khaya hain tumne, ice cream mat khao,pet kharab ho jaayega tumhara Rajveer."

But he didnot agreed and bought two ice cream, which turned eight in few minutes. After having enough ice creams, Rajveer took her towards the beach where they finally sat to enjoy the sunset.

Aao mil jayega
Hoga jahan pe raasta
Aao milon chalein
Jana kahan naa ho pata

Hum jo chalne lage
Chalne lage hain yeh raste
Manzil behtar lagne lage hain
Yeh raste.....

They silently looked towards the end of the sea, where sky met, somewhat similar to their life, where there will be no storm. But those innocent souls were unknown to the fact that some one is already keeping an eye on their every single movement and informing some one else accordingly.

After sunset they dusted their dress and hold each other hand without their knowledge and started their journey back to hostel.

Jaipur,India

Yuvraj was busy in sketching his shree's picture, moonlight was playing hide and seek with him. He was fully engrossed in his task, when his phone started vibrating. He avoided it, but when it rang for the second time, after receiving a video in whats app, he immediately accepted the call.

He without exchanging any pleasantries, changed the call into video and the sight left him in rage. He was holding a brush in his hand, it got broken due to pressure. He said in a cold voice

"Itni important baat chhut kaise gayi tum sabse?"

The informer said in a broken tone

"Humein jaise hi khabar mili, humne aapko call karke bata diya sir."

He kicked the crafts lying in front of his feet, and shouted

"Aise galtiyo ke liye tum sabko paise deke rakha hain yahan? Yuvraj Oberoi ki baat ko na maane ki saza pata hain na tum sabko? Haan?

Uske baad bhi, itni badi galti? Nahi nahi, aisa nahi ho sakta,humari shree aur wo bhi uske saath?Nahi ,kabhi nahi , Abhay aur Shree kabhi ekdusre ke itna paas nahi aa sakte. Yeh main hone nahi de sakta.Yeh kabhi nahi hoga."

He again diverted his attention towards the informer and said

"Kahan rehte hain, kya karte hain,choti se choti details chahiye mujhe in dono ki life ki. Woh bhi 10 minute ke ander ander.Do you get it?tell me do you get it or not?"

He cut the call and immediately called his travel agent, and applied for the immediate flight to mumbai. But all flights were booked, finally after searching for few hours he got a ticket to mumbai a day after and he with a smile said

"Shree, ab tumhe Abhay se dur hone se, koi nahi rok sakta. Ab hum dono ek honge aur isi shehar me honge, jahan kabhi ek hona chahe the hum.Tum sirf humari ho,aur hum bas tumhare.Apni kismat se kab tak bachogi.Hum aa rahe hain tumhe us se humesha humesha ke liye chin lene."

After a well spent day, the next day was going like a jiffy. It was a day of main competition. Every student was running here and there to be perfect and Rajveer and Naina was no exception.

Naina was busy in selecting her dress, but being an unprofessional in this case, she was no less than a mess. She took four gowns and moved towards Rajveer, who was trying his dress. She called him and asked

"Rajveer,ise dekho naa ,kaunsa wala acha lag raha hain mujhpe? Yeh red and black combo wala pehnu sham ko performance mein ,ya phir yeh blue wala.Nahi nahi yeh pure red wala.I am so confused, please bolo na kaunsa try karun?"

Rajveer looked at her, then at her dresses and said while moving his shoulder up and down

"Mujhe kya malum? Jo accha lage woh pehen lo na. Waise bhi log humara dance dekhne aayenge, dress nahi Naina."

She sat on a chair nearby and said in an over dramatic tone

"Bas yahi umeed thi mujhe tumse,kaash Neekshu,Pooji aur Sam hote yahan to mujhe itna pareshan hona hi nahi padta wo teeno khud hi mere liye shoes se leke dress tak sab match kar lete.

Hey bhagwan ji ! ab main kya karun,Kya aisa koi hain yaha jo meri madad kar sake?"

He laughed loudly at her drama and said

"Ek shart pe madad karunga, agar tum aankhein bandh karke chup chap yahan pe baithogi tab."

She immediately agreed and closed her eyes tightly, but in between opening it slightly to check what he was doing. After few minutes he said

"Ab aankhein khol sakti ho."

She saw a beautiful sky blue princess gown. She beamed with happiness and asked

"Wow! yeh mere liye laaye ho tum?Kitna khubsurat hain.Rajveer tumhe pata hain yeh mera favourite colour hain white ke saath mix mein , i love sky blue colour and yeh gown itna pyaara hain ki is se nazar hi nahi hat rahi hain meri to.Yeh liya kab tumne,mujhe pata hi nahi chala?"

But he got lost in some other world. She was asking so many questions, but he was just looking at her as if relieving few moments. He went back to those days when there was no inhibitions. When he was a simple boy, with larger dreams.

He saw her, who was his everything. She was wearing a white gown with blue flowered embroidery on it. She was looking no less than an angel.

He was standing behind a curtain, and watching her every movement. How she was holding the edges, her swift twirls, her giggles. How she was showing her dress to her two best friends.

He got jealous of that dress, which hugged her tightly, but he cannot. He can make his mind understand the situation, but what he should do with his heart?

He was holding his breathe and racing heartbeat. Her friends noticed him behind the curtain and gestured her. She with slow steps moved towards the window and he started moving backwards.

When she came near to her window, he sat on the stool of the window and as she turned he lost his balance and landed at the pool right below her room's window. She started laughing with her friends, when one of her friend said

"Arey! Abhay saa aap toh chori chori dekhne ke chakkar me, paani me hi naha liye."

And he looked towards her with a crying face and said

"Shree sharam nahi aati aapko, aise paani me bheege huye insaan pe haste huye?"

Rajveer came back from his dreamland when Naina shaked him from his shoulder and again asked him the same question. He with a smile said

"Kal jab hum Colaba me shopping kar rahe the, tab liya tha maine. Sab ke liye kuch na kuch liya hain, toh tumhare paas bhi toh yaadein honi chahiye naa.

And most imp thing yeh meri taraf se tumhare liye tohfa hain, humari is khaas si dosti ki shuruwat ke liye. Ab tum bologi ki main to kuch layi hi nahi, toh koi baat nahi Naina, ab har koi thode Rajveer Singh Shekhawat  ban sakta hain?"

She looked towards him with her big eyes and said

"Haww! kya matlab hain tumhara iss se ki har koi tum nahi?Main bhi kisi se kum nahi hun samjhe ,maine bhi liya hain tumhare liye ,par bas soch rahi thi ki du ya nahi?"

He said with a huge grin

"Acche kaam me derii nahi karte, Naina dikhao naa ,kya layi ho mere liye?"

And she took the gift and stood a stool, so that Rajveer could not reach her. She then moved towards a table and kept her hand above her head, when Rajveer stood on the stool.

After running behind each other for few minutes and not getting the gift, Rajveer started tickling her and Naina who was running, started laughing.

She tried to get out of his hold but his grip became more tight on her. He without his knowledge, pulled her T-shirt up and touched her bare skin.

Destiny winked at this closeness and they fall on the ground, getting tangled in all those gowns Naina was trying.

Before Naina's head could hit the floor, Rajveer kept his hand behind her head and looked directly in her eyes. Maybe there was some magic at that moment, maybe destiny was planning for such accident. The room which they were using for practice was empty, just these two souls were present.

They got so busy in themselves that they did not bothered about their position. Naina was holding his t shirt tightly in her grip and Rajveer was holding her, with one of his hand under her head and the other at her waist.

Both were unaware of the passion and heat creating a havoc in their body. Two parched souls were lying in each others embrace. Maybe that moment had some magnetic pull too, thats why Naina who used to run or beat every single boy, was lying so comfortably in his arms .

Unknown to them, they secretly pulled each other towards them. Their lips were closed to each other, they can feel their breathes on their skin.

And finally they joined their lips, unknown to them yet known to them. Destiny smiled at them as if no one can be more happy than him.

But every beautiful dream or situation comes to an end. And thus this dream also have an ending. They came back to their senses when Rajveer's cell phone started ringing loudly, in that silent room.

He looked towards her and immediately moved back, pulled his hair at his behaviour and before Naina could say anything, he left the room, unknown to him that he took Naina's phone and not his.
