Pyaar Ki Yeh Kahaani Suno

(They hold each other's hands and matched their steps to the rhythm)

Ek Ladka Tha Ek Ladki Thi

(Ranbir twirled Prachi out)

Hoti Kya Hai Jawaani Suno

(Ranbir extended his hand to her and she put her in his)

Ek Ladka Tha, Ek Ladki Thi

(He pulled her in and clasping both her hands, wound his own arms around her from behind)

Woh Bhi Ek Daur Tha

(Encompassed in his arms, Prachi experienced the same breathlessness and fluttering sensation)

Waqt Hi Aur Tha

(Ranbir closed his eyes as the breeze flowing in through the open window made some tendrils of her hair sweep over his face, wreaking havoc on his senses)

Jab Woh The Ajnabi

(Both reminisced the days when they were strangers, their first meeting, and their incessant fights)

Dono Tanaha Se The

(Both realised how alone they were even in the midst of a crowd, while swaying to the music)

Par Woh Kehte Kise

(Her hands still clasped in his, Prachi took a step forward,acknowledging that without her knowledge, Ranbir had become her confidante)

Baat Jo Dil Mein Thi

(Ranbir pulled her back within the circle of his arms,acknowledging that he had become dependent on her for his happiness and peace of mind)

Pyaar Ki Yeh Kahaani Suno

(Ranbir twirled her around, making her face him)

Ek Ladka Tha Ek Ladki Thi

(Prachi wound her arms around his neck as he wound his arms around her petite waist)

Hoti Kya Hai Jawaani Suno

(They swayed to the rhythm of the music, lost in each other's eyes)

Ek Ladka Tha Ek Ladki Thi

(Ranbir twirled Prachi and pulled her back in his arms again)

Gumsum Gumsum Rehte The Dono

(Ranbir twirled Prachi around him and now they were facing the opposite sides)

Phir Bhi Dil Mein Kehte The Dono

(He leant forward and she leant backward on him)

Koyi Sapana Hum Bhi To Paayein

(They twirled around and face each other)

Ek Din Tute Ghum Ke Woh Ghere

(Ranbir's arms wound around her waist and he leant forward,making her lean backward)

Jhilmil Jhilmil Aaye Savere

(They moved from left to right and then straightened again)

Mausam Badala Jaagi Fizaayein

(Holding her waist he pulled her closer and her hands clutched his shoulders)

Woh Mil Gaye, Woh Khil Gaye

(They were so close that their breath fanned over each other's faces, rousing unnamed emotions stronger than them)

Aur Pyaar Ho Hi Gaya

(Ranbir reminisced the moment he realised that he loved Prachi. It was the most beautiful moment of his life)

Jo Maanga Tha, Woh Paaya To

(Now that his love was in his arms, he felt like he could win over the whole world)

Hosh Kho Hi Gaya

(Prachi wondered why she did she experience a strange sense of security in his arms and why did her usual modesty and sense of propriety take a leave while she was in his arms)

Pyaar Ki Yeh Kahaani Suno

(He stepped forward as she stepped back, still clasping hands)

Ek Ladka Tha Ek Ladki Thi

(It was her turn to step forward while stepped back)

Hoti Kya Hai Jawaani Suno

(She placed her hands on his shoulders and he lifted her up,holding her waist)

Ek Ladka Tha Ek Ladki Thi

(Lost in each other's eyes, their bodies fleetingly brushed each other as he put her down)

Haule Haule Ab Woh Deewaane

(He twirled her around a last time)

Gun Gun Gaaye Dil Ke Taraane

(He bent her backwards and leaned over her)

Sun Sun...

(They lost themselves in each other's eyes yet again)

As the music faded away, Prachi was the first one to return to reality. She looked away even as a blush coloured her cheeks. Ranbir blinked twice and then he too looked away with a smile.

Ranbir straightened up and helped her too. As soon as they straightened up, Prachi stepped back shyly.

Prachi looked everywhere but him, shyness causing a surge in the rosy hue on her cheeks. It took her a few moments to compose herself and calm her erratic heartbeats down, which was more the result of such a close proximity with him than the dance itself.

Ranbir grinned. She looked adorable in shyness and that rosy hue on her cheeks just made him wish to eat her. He blinked at the sudden thought.

Eat her? Where did that come from? Control yourself Romeo.

Ranbir chastised himself silently.

"The window! Uhm...we can try to get out through it. Let's try." Prachi's melodious voice broke his chain of thoughts.

As she didn't quite meet his eyes, it wasn't difficult for Ranbir to understand that the false cheer in her voice was more an endeavour to conceal her shyness than out of any real conviction of success in the way of escape she had discovered.

Before he could say anything, she hurried off towards the open window. Grinning, he followed suit.

"So, how are we gonna get out of here through the window,Einstein? In case you have forgotten, this library is on the 2nd floor. You know how to climb down a building using the water pipe? Because that's the only way unless you want to escape from here and land straight at the hospital."Ranbir smirked.

"Oh! I didn't think about that!" Engrossed in gauging the distance of the ground from the window, Prachi bit her lower lip in another rare display of a childlike innocence.

She rested her left hand in the window sill and leant forward a little as her eyes searched for any sign of human beings who could come to their rescue and thus, failed to see the tenderness in his eyes that her innocence roused.

Suddenly, a gust of wind caused one of the window panes to close, hurting Prachi's finger in the process. Her yelp alerted Ranbir to her injury. He instantly hold her finger with utmost gentleness and began to examine the extent of the damage.

It was a small cut and tiny droplets of blood were oozing out of it. Ranbir instantly put her finger in his mouth and began to suck the blood to stop its flow.

Prachi was stunned to see the agony in his eyes. It was as if he could feel her pain and it had multiplied manifold when he felt it. The immense care he was showering on her made her realise what Sarita dadi meant when she said the one who would feel her pain and would care for her more than himself would be the one for her. She recalled the moment when he had placed himself between death and her, without a care for his own life.

Was he the one for her? Was he the one whom destiny had chosen to be her soulmate?

"Are you in pain? Do you feel alright?" The anxiety in Ranbir's voice made her heart beat faster.

"I'm fine Ranbir. Calm down. It was just a small cut. May I ask you a question, Ranbir?" Prachi smiled tentatively.

"Since when did you start seeking permission before attacking me with your barrage of questions?" Ranbir raised his brows making Prachi giggle.

"Ranbir, you always flirt with the girls. I know it's harmless flirting. But still. What I mean is that you always say you like someone's hair, someone's way of walking, someone else's eyes, etc. But what if you fall in love with one girl? Not of the time pass variety, but true love.How will you convince the girl about your true feelings, since you have said all those things to several girls several times before?" Prachi stared at him curiously.

"Curious about my love life?" Ranbir smirked.

"Are you going to answer me or not?" Prachi huffed impatiently.

"That's more like my Prachi. Demanding and stubborn. Okay.Let's see. I won't have to convince her of my sincerity regarding those words."There was an enigmatic twinkle in Ranbir's eyes as he smiled at her.

"Why?" Prachi's beautiful eyes were filled with bemused curiosity.

"Because I won't be saying any of those things to her."Ranbir smiled serenely.

"You won't say to her that she is beautiful?" Prachi was baffled.

"No. Because she isn't just beautiful. Merely beautiful is not enough to describe what I think of her. I will say to her that she is the most beautiful girl in this whole world, inside and out. I will say that the sleek beauty of her dark hair without a shred of artificial colour on them reminds me of her simple yet elegant and extraordinary beauty. Her beautiful eyes,a mirror to her heart, reminds me of the purity of the golden heart which is full of benevolence towards others. Her gait displays the strength and dignity of her character." Ranbir met her gaze directly with a slight smile.

The intensity of his gaze made her experience a similarly intense awareness and his words mesmerised her. Each word rang with truth and sincerity. Prachi had never witnessed this side of Ranbir. She had always thought of him as frivolous and capricious person, though with a genuinely good heart and helpful nature. He was a good friend, but a flirt. But the Ranbir she had seen in the past few minutes was someone else entirely. This Ranbir is very genuine and sincere about the object of his adoration and what touched her the most was his admiration of his would be beloved's inner qualities more than her beauty.

Wait a second! They were talking about his would be beloved,weren't they? Then why did he use future tense only when he described what he would say to her but present tense when he described about the girl? Had he already found that girl? And if he had why was she feeling hurt? Did she want that girl to be her?

Prachi met his gaze and found it directed towards her. The intensity of his gaze was telling her something that she was afraid to believe,lest she had misinterpreted.

"You are talking as if you have found that girl already."Prachi smiled nervously, scared to believe her heart.

"I have." He took her hands in his.

"Who?" Her voice trembled.

He opened his mouth to reply but both of them were startled badly as the door to the library opened and Aryan's voice was heard.

"Prachi! Ranbir! Are you guys here?" Aryan strode into the room, closely followed by a peon of the college.

Prachi instantly pulled her hands back and stepped back from Ranbir. She hurried towards Aryan. Grimacing in annoyance at Aryan's timing,Ranbir sauntered after her unhurriedly.

"Are you both okay?" Aryan scanned their faces anxiously.

"We are fine. Thanks for saving us, Aryan. But how did you find us?" Prachi smiled at Aryan.

"No problem. I was waiting for Ranbir, but when he didn't turn up, I began searching for him. Then came to know from Sahana that even you didn't come out of the college. So, I realised that both of you must be stuck here in the college. Sahana is waiting outside. Let's go guys." Aryan gestured towards the exit with a smile.

As Prachi trotted off, Ranbir grabbed Aryan's arm and turned him around when he was about to follow her.

"You had to come right at this moment?"

"But you were the one who asked me to come after an hour."Aryan gaped at Ranbir, flabbergasted.

"Then why are you so punctual?" Ranbir strode off, still grumbling under his breath and frowning heavily.

"What did I do?" Perplexed, Aryan stared at the exit where Ranbir had just disappeared and then shrugged and hurried off after him.
