*********

Swara smiles and runs towards the crowd... By the time she reaches there Sanskaar has already reached the stage...!! He whispers something in the host's ear who in turn guides him backstage...!! Swara follows his every movement curiously trying to find out what is he trying to do...

About after five minutes, he returns...

Swara: What were you doing...?!?!

Sanskaar: Nominating...!!

Swara: (confused) Whom...?!!

Sanskaar: Us...!!

Swara: What...?!?! For what...?!?!

Sanskaar: You remember, you once said that you know singing...?!!

Swara: I guessed it right...!! You are asking me to sing in front of all of them...!!

Sanskaar: Wow...!! You know me so well...!! So, are you scared...?!?!

Swara: (smiles) No...!! Not unless you are there with me...!!

Sanskaar: (to himself) That means you don't have to be scared for your whole life...!!

Swara: Huhh...?!?! Did you say anything...?!!

Sanskaar: Umm...!! Nothing...!! Did you hear anything...?!?!

Swara: (rolls her eyes) Forget it...!! Now, what's going on here...?!?! Is there some sort of competition...?!?!

Sanskaar: No, not exactly a competition...!! It's just their way to entertain the visitors...!! They are calling them up in couples to sing a song and the best one will get the title of 'The Singing Prince and Princess'...!! We are eighth in the list...!!

Swara: And how many couples are there...?!?!

Sanskaar: (shrugs his shoulder) Eight...!!

Swara: So, basically we are the last one to go...!!

Sanskaar: Wow, Swara...!! You are so intelligent...!!

Swara: You had any doubt about it...?!?!

Sanskaar: Nope...!!

Swara: Good...!!

Swara starts listening to the performances by other couples...!!

Sanskaar: Swara...!!

Swara: Hmm...!!

Sanskaar: I want you to start the song...!!

Swara: (shocked) What...?!! Me...?!! You are joking, right...?!!

Sanskaar: (seriously) No...!! I really want you to start...!! You will start it and I'll be ending it...!!

Swara: But...!!

Sanskaar: If you won't begin, I won't sing...!!

Swara opens her mouth to say something but Sanskaar stops her...

Sanskaar: Don't even try to refuse and run the horses of your little brain...!! You can't win against me...!!

Swara: (takes a deep breath) Alright...!!

Sanskaar: I knew it...!!

He gives a winning smile and turns to look at the stage...

Sanskaar: We are definitely winning this thing...!!

-------------------.

All the seven performances are done and now Swara and Sanskaar are standing in the middle of the stage...

Sanskaar mouths a 'Start' to Swara and she looks around to see the crowd waiting eagerly for the last performance to start... She starts twisting her fingers and Sanskaar realizes that she is getting nervous...

He goes near her and holds her hand...

Sanskaar: (whispers) Don't be scared...!! I'm there with you...!!

Swara: (gulping down a big lump forming in her throat) But why is everyone looking at me...?!?!

Sanskaar: (smiles) Because they have faith in you...!! Much the same way as I do...!! Just feel that you are the best singer over her...!! All you have to do is just believe in yourself and start...!!

Swara smiles and closes her eyes taking a deep breath...!! Opening her eyes and looking at Sanskaar, she starts singing...

(Swara) Re Baandhe..Re Baandhe..Re Baandhe
Aise Mohe Baandhe
Haan Mohe Baandh Wo
Nainon Ki Dor Se
Hai Yeh Pyaar Kaisa
Iska Raaz Hai Kya Bol De
Keh Bhi De..

[Sanskaar gets overwhelmed seeing his Nightingale singing in front of him for the first time]

(Sanskaar) Kabhi Sakoon
Kabhi Laage Bala Hai
Kabhi Dua
Kabhi Laage Halaa Hai
Nainon Se Yeh
Kya Ho Chalaa Hai

(Swara) Bariyan O Bariyan
Mujhe Sata Na Bariyan

(Both together) Bariyan O Bariyan
Mujhe Sata Na Bariyan

(Sanskaar) Kaisi Yeh Peer Jo Raatein Jaage
Taaron Ko Chhaanate Re
Kaisi Yeh Peer Jo Raatein Jaage
Raatein Hain Jaage Aur
Taaron Ko Chhaanate Re

(Swara) Palkon Ki Dibiyon Mein Rehte
Khwaab Hain Udne Ko Kehte
Haathon Se Chhoota
Chhoota Chala Hai Jiya..

(Both together) Bariyan..Bariyan..
Mujhe Sata Na Bariyan

(Sanskaar) Udne Lagi..Hain Khamoshi Se
Baaton Ki Parchiyaan
Udne Lagi Hain Khamoshi Se
Khamoshi Se
Baaton Ki Parchiyaan..

(Swara) Hone Lage Aadhe Aadhe
Aankhon Se Hi Kai Waadein
Saansein Jalayein
Ishq Ki Sardiyaan..

(Both together) Bariyan O Bariyan
Bariyan O Bariyan
Bariyan O Bariyan
Mujhe Sata Na Bariyan Oo..

(Sanskaar) Bariyan O Bariyan
Mujhe Sata Na Bariyan
Bariyan O Bariyan
Mujhe Sata Na Bariyan
Kabhi Dua Kabhi Kabhi Hala
Bariyan O Bariyan...

The song gets over and both of them bow in front of the crowd before getting down from the stage...

------------------.

The results have been announced and Swara and Sanskaar are made the 'Singing Prince and Princess'...!! They go to the stage and Swara receives a beautiful tiara of flowers and Sanskaar gets a mike made of flowers... Along with that they get the recording of the song they sang together...

Swara: Thank you Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: For what...??!

Swara: For everything...!! Everything you do for me...!! (Sanskaar smiles at her) So, do you want to say something...?!! Finally I sang in front of you...!!

Sanskaar: Yes, definitely...!! Now that the results have been announced we'll be leaving soon or we will be late...!!

Swara: What...?!?! Just that...!!

Sanskaar: Then what do you want me to say...?!?!

Swara: But you said you'll tell me when you'll find about Nightingale...!!

Sanskaar: (starts moving towards the car) Come on, I don't want to be late because of you, Ms. Lazy bones...!!

Swara: (stands in front of the car folding her arms across her chest) I'm not lazy and I'm not driving if you are not going to tell me...!!

Sanskaar: Your wish...!! I can drive myself...!!

Saying this, he goes and sits on the driver's seat...!!

Swara: But, your driving license...!!

Sanskaar: Got it renewed...!! Now, are you coming or should I leave you here...?!!

Swara: You are so cruel...!!

Sanskaar: I know love...!! Now get in...!!

Swara takes a deep breath and makes her way into the car stomping her feet...

-------------------.

It's late night... Sanskaar is driving the car whereas Swara falls into a slumber after arguing for almost two hours but Sanskaar refuses to say anything...

After sometimes, Swara's sleep gets broken when she feels that the car has stopped moving...!! She opens her eyes to look at Sanskaar but finds his seat empty...!! In fact, even the door to the driver's side is open and she couldn't see anything at all due to the darkness outside...

Swara: (slowly) Sanskaar...!!

No answer...

Swara: (a bit loudly) Sanskaar...!!

Again no answer...

Swara starts freaking out a bit on finding no sign of him...!! She comes out of the car and starts calling him out loud...

Swara: (loudly) Sanskaar...!! Where are you...?!?!

She is on the verge of crying and calls him once again...

Swara: Sanskaar...!!

Just as a tear drop rolls down her cheeks she hears his voice...

Sanskaar: Tch...!! Tch...!! Why do you girls shout so much...?!?!

Swara turns around to look at him...

Swara: (shocked) What the hell...?!! You scared me...?!! What are you doing there...?!!

Sanskaar: God...!! Can't a person even sleep peacefully...?!!

Swara: (angrily) Is that a place to sleep...?!! Here, I was worried that you...

Sanskaar: What about me...?!?!

Swara: That you... got lost...!!

Sanskaar: Seriously Swara...!! Do I look like a kid to you that I'll get lost...?!?!

Swara: I don't know anything...!! Now, come here, we should get going...!!

Sanskaar: No, we'll leave in the morning...!! I'm feeling sleepy right now...!!

Swara: Okay, you can sleep...!! I'll drive...!!

Sanskaar: Umm...!! Let me think...!! No...!!

Swara: I'm not in a mood for your jokes...!!

Sanskaar: I'm not joking...!! I need proper rest...!!

Swara: That's enough...!! Sanskaar Maheshwari, get down from the roof of the car right now...!!

Sanskaar: No...!!

Swara: I'm serious Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: So am I and we are not leaving before morning...!! On the contrary, I suggest you also come up here and get some proper sleep...!! The scene from here is quite beautiful...!!

Swara: No thank you...!!

Sanskaar: Your wish...!! But I'm not getting down from here...!!

Swara shakes her head slightly and takes a deep breath...!! She walks towards the front of the car and sits on the hood resting her back against the windshield...!!

Swara: You know what...!! You are unbelievable...!!

Sanskaar immediately moves near her still lying at the roof of the car and brings his head near her head...

Sanskaar: (smiles) I know...!! Since the moment I met you, you have said the same thing at least hundred times...!!

Swara: Why are we here...?!?! And where are we exactly...?!?!

Sanskaar: You will find that in morning...!! So, rest for the time being...!!

They both lie down at their respective placed with the top of their heads touching...

After a few moments...

Swara: Actually...

Sanskaar: What...?!?!

Swara: Actually, now as I see it, this whole place actually looks really beautiful in the moonlight...!!

Sanskaar: See, I told you...!! It's a good thing to listen to others once in awhile...!!

Swara: You know what...!! For once, this time, I agree with you...!! Look up there at the stars...!! Each one of them is alone, yet they are together...!!

Sanskaar: Do you know that collection of stars is called...

Swara: (cuts in between) I know what's a constellation Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: Wow...!! So, you actually are intelligent...!!

Swara smiles and starts gazing back at the stars...

Sanskaar: You once said that you wanted to look at the stars in an open field...!!

Swara: You remember...?!?!

Sanskaar: How can I even dare to forget something you wish for...?!!

Swara: You started your flirting again...!!

Sanskaar: This line is only for you...!! Okay, let's see how many constellations you can find...!!

Swara: Umm... I have never actually tried to find a constellation up in the sky...!!

Sanskaar: What...?!! Really, never...!!

Swara: Never...!! Ever since I came to know that there is something called constellation, I have been doing this part-time job thing...!! I never had enough time...!!

Sanskaar: It's okay...!! Why fear when Sanskaar is here...!! I'll tell you...!! Look up there...!! One of the most easiest to find constellation is 'Saptrishi'... See, if you could find something like a question mark...!!

Swara scans the sky for a while and smiles when she finds it...

Swara: (pointing upwards) Yes, there...!!

Sanskaar: Good...!! Now, see if you could see something in the shape of the English Alphabet 'W'...!!

Swara: (scans the sky again) Yes, there...!!

Sanskaar: That's Cassiopeia...!! Now, look here...!! Look at those three stars which are very near to each other...!! Can you see that...?!!

Swara: (smiles) Yes...!!

Sanskaar: Now imagine it to be the belt of a person...!! If you look above and below it...

Swara: (squeals like a child) It actually looks like a person...!!

Sanskaar: It's Orion, or commonly known as the hunter...!! If you look in front of it, you can imagine his bow and arrow also...!!

Swara: Yup...!! I can see that...!!

Sanskaar: In the same way, if you keep looking you can actually imagine different figures amongst the stars...!! It's actually kind of fun...!!

Swara: (looking at the stars) It's beautiful...!!

Sanskaar: It really is beautiful...!!

Swara: Just like as if God has switched on "Millions of Twinkling Lights"...!!

Sanskaar gets too shocked that he couldn't believe what he heard right now...

Sanskaar: What...?!! What did you say...?!?!

Swara: I said... It looks as if God has switched on "Millions of Twinkling Lights"...!!

The moment Swara says this Sanskaar jumps down from the roof standing in front of her...!! He leans down towards the hood of the car encasing her in between his hands...

Swara: What are you doing...?!?! I guess you said you won't come down until morning...!!

Sanskaar: You wanted to know what will I do if I find out about Nightingale...?!!

Swara: Why are you telling me now...?!! I thought...

But before she could complete, he pulls her towards himself, their noses almost touching...

Sanskaar: I was waiting for the right time...!! So, you want to know or not...?!!

Swara, not trusting her voice due to their close proximity, nods her head...

Sanskaar smiles slightly and brushes off a lock of hair from her face behind her ear...

Sanskaar: I would tell her what's in my heart and I would do something I have always wanted to do...!!

Swara raises her head to meet his eyes which are filled with nothing but sincerity, honesty, longing and love...!! She could feel the intensity in his eyes even in the moonlight...!!

Swara: (sttutering) So, what's in your heart...?!!

He leans towards her ear brushing his lips against it and whispers... Swara closes her eyes as this is all so new to her and she has never felt like this before...!! At that moment, she realizes that only Sanskaar could make her feel this way...

Sanskaar: (whispers) I would tell her that...

Swara: Hmm...

Sanskaar: That I think I'm falling in love with her...!!

Saying this he kisses her earlobes... Swara's eye shot open and she looks at him trying to find any sign that he is joking but she couldn't find any...!! She has never seen him this serious...

Swara: (slowly) And... What is it that you always wanted to do...?!?!

Sanskaar smiles without saying anything and leans towards her lips...!! Just as she feels his breath against her lips she speaks...

Swara: Sanskaar...!! What... are you... doing...??!

Sanskaar: (takes a deep breath) Do you always have to ruin a moment by opening your mouth...!!

Swara: Hey this my line...!! You can't take it...!!

Sanskaar: And this is my moment, you can't ruin it...!!

Saying this he starts leaning again and stops hardly an inch away from her lips to see her reaction, whether she wants to proceed or not...

Sanskaar: (whispers against her lips) And yes Swara...!!

Swara: (closing her eyes) Hmm...

Sanskaar: More than I wanted to do this with Nightingale... I wanted to do it with the most special girl of my life who I don't think is just my best friend anymore...!!

Swara heart takes a turn... Is she ready to give him her first kiss...?!!

But just as she realizes he is talking about no one else but her, she leans towards him closing down the gap between their lips...

Sanskaar closes his eyes and smiles against her lips pulling them into a kiss...!! He keeps it slow and steady, just as a first kiss should be...!! Swara wraps her arms around his neck pulling him closer...

Just as they break their kiss, Sanskaar rests his forehead against hers...

Sanskaar: You have no idea how much I have waited for this...!!

Swara nods her head trying to get her breath steady...

Swara: Sanskaar...!!

Sanskaar: Hmm...!!

Swara: You know about my wish-list... Don't you...?!?!

Sanskaar retreats back and looks at her trying to find any disappointment on her face... But on finding nothing, he slowly nods his head...

Swara: Thank you...!!

Sanskaar: What...?!! Well, that's definitely not something I expected...!!

Swara: But seriously... If you haven't been there, I wouldn't have fulfilled all those wishes...!! It was all because of you...!!

Sanskaar: Then let's fulfill the rest of them together...!!

Swara smiles and nods her head...

Sanskaar: And one more thing Swara...

Swara: What...?!!

Sanskaar: Umm... I already knew that... You are Nightingale...!!

Swara: What...?!?! You knew...?!! (folds her hands across her chest) That means you have hidden so many things Mr. Maheshwari...!!

Sanskaar: Not exactly hidden...!! I wanted you to trust me enough and tell this to me yourself...!!

Swara: Well, now I do...!!

Sanskaar: And I'm grateful for that...!!

Swara smiles and looks at the stars...

Sanskaar: Swara... Can I kiss you...?!!

Swara: What...?!! Why are you asking me now when you have already done it...?!!

Sanskaar: Okay... Then let's rephrase it...!! Swara can I kiss you again...??

Swara holds his collar and pulls him closer...

Swara: First you said what's in your heart...!! Now its my turn...!!

Sanskaar nods his head...

Swara: Mr. Maheshwari... You think you are falling in love with her but trust me Nightingale is already in love with you...!!

Saying this she kisses him again...!!

Episode ends...!!
