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

After the long story of Aanya,Radharani showered her with all her love as if she had found her lost child and pampered Aanya with her favourite food. Ishwari was lost in the memories of the past,the time when Radharani used to maintain a distance from the other kids. Her world used to revolve around Raj and Vicky only.It was like one of the impossible things for them to see this side of Radharani because she only loved her children. There wasn't any place in her heart for anybody then what on the earth made her admire Aanya this much. But Somewhere in her heart,Ishwari was happy with the fact that her Sister did allowed a person to come near her. She was happy to see her sister happy.

Sonakshi who was already pissed of with the happenings retired back to her room,leaving a sleeping ayaan with ishwari,without sparing a look to dev. Meanwhile dev was getting restless to know about her health but the situation didn't let him do so. Sonakshi didn't paid any  heed to his presence and his parents were busy in suspecting the bond Radharani and Aanya shared,None of them seemed to acknowledge his presence rather then Aanya,WHO kept stealing his glances occasionally. 

Seeing everybody off to their rooms and thinking it as a great opportunity dev thought to go into Sonakshi's room and check upon her. He thought to visit her room silently and leave after checking her.She must be sleeping soundly because of the after effects of her medicines ; was the thought of dev but to his surprise,when he silently walked inside her room to check her,he found the room empty. Though the possibility was equal to nil,he checked his room too and found it empty too. It was evident that she didn't went downstairs than the only place which was left was the terrace only. A tired sigh left from his mouth,seeing her carelessness. She didn't even recovered from her fever fully and was up on the terrace already. How can she be this much careless. Thinking to scold her for doing such a silly thing,dev went to the terrace and was little bit releifed to atleast see her after spending almost a day,being restless for her.

You weren't supposed to be here. That too at this time ; Dev says coming infront of sonakshi,who was sitting on the white wooden porch swing at the terrace. Swaying her legs in the air,she was busy in staring at the sky which was full of stars. Though he stood next to her but she pretended not to acknowledge his presence and looked another side. Shaking his head in dismay,he again stood infront of her eyes,crossing his arms on his chest.

I wasn't getting sleep..... ; Sonakshi replied coldly and snapped her head up in the sky and pretended to count the stars. Smiling a little at her silly antics,he goes near her only to face her. Snapping his head little down,few inches away from Sonakshi's,he placed the back of his right hand on her temple to check her temper and hold Her face with another one. Her breaths hitched in her throat the moment when he faced her and her throat went dry when he touched her. The feeling of his cold finger touching her normal skin sent goosebumps to her. Their faces were in upside-down position. His hot breaths which turns cold while coming into the contact of cold air between them,did make her heart flatter. She could even differentiate between his breaths and the air. The only emotion which was highlighted in his eyes at that time was care. He cared about Her,the way none did for her.

Realizing that her fever has gone,Dev breathed in relief only to make Sonakshi's heart skip another beat. Her eyes refuses to blink even for a tiny second. The time and surrounding blurred out of her view.  One blink can snatch the moment of blissfulness which she felt staring at him,the concern in his eyes was All which mattered to her the most at this time.The moon being the only source of light between them, highlighted the scarlet colour of her cheeks. The baseless anger which rosed within Her,seeing him with Anaya flew away in the air. Gulping down on her dry throat Sonakshi placed her hand on his which was still holding her face delicately and she regretted doing that because it became the moment of realisation for dev,of their current position. Muttering a quick sorry dev removed his hands from her and stood few inches away from Her, cussing himself mentally. 

But you need rest...... ; After bearing the silence between them from the past few mins,Dev mutters softly.

CAN YOU BE MY LISTENER FOR TODAY..... ; Sonakshi asks hoping for a positive reply.  She Didn't know why but today she had the urge of sharing her feelings with someone and who can be better than dev. Her talk with Ramnath made her realise the fact that she,herself needs to come out of her aviary and let herself free.She knew that her secrets will be safe with him,afterall he is the one on whom she started to trust,blindly. 

Sorry.... ; Dev asked in amusement. He wasn't expecting a chat with her at this moment or moreover after the cold war between them. He knew that his silent treatment towards her did made her sad to a little extent but now he isn't used to be connected with people. The fear of letting all of his sorrow out and breaking down has bounded him to be open with anyone.

I always loved Swings....We also had a swing In the orphanage,where i used to live before but i never got a chace to sit on It..... ; Sonakshi spoke in a sad tone,ignoring dev's reply. She is determined to talk her heart with him inspite of his clueless(ness).

Why.... ; Dev asked curiously,leaning his hips on the railing. If she is willing to share something with him than why would he oppose. Atleast he would be able to be with her a little longer. Sonakshi looked up at sky as a little smile formed its way towards her lips.

Because the fear of falling down didn't let me do that.....I had no one to relay on..... ; Sonakshi muttered sadly as her eyes mirrored with the liquid called tears. Closing her eyes tightly,she tried to prevent them from falling down. The memories of her childhood days in the orphanage,played on a loop mode in the back of her head. 

I was a kid,minus the memories of my existence............My parents abandoned me in my toddler age because I was a burden for them............The unwanted child whom they nursed unwillingly and abandoned.......I grew up listening this........with the horrified nightmares of being separated from my parents. But I never hated them for this and never will..... ; Sonakshi spoke calmly,looking up in the sky as if it's giving her the much needed courage to let everything go out of her and spoke her heart out. The glassy layer of tears doubled in her eyes when she remembered the time when she used to crave to be with her parents but the saddest part was that,that she had no memory of them,just the blurry flashes of a baby girl laughing in her father's arms and a smiling face of a lady.

 I presented myself as a bold,fun loving girl infront of this world minus the broken soul of mine because I hated that pitiful looks. I was surrounded by hundreds,yet alone...... Keeping up the mask of a badaas girl in days I spent thousands of nights crying alone in the darkness........ ; Each confession of her's,pricked in Dev's heart. He knew that she had a vulnerable side but the gravity of her this side left him in utter shock. He couldn't even imagine the amount of pain,she had been feeling since her childhood. No wonder that she is a artist who's best role is hiding her real self from others.

I am terrible in consoling.... ; Dev chimed at her meekly. Her soft giggle filled the silent dark moony night with sparkles.

You don't have to......I have found my solace in your silence....... ; The last line was a whisper from her but the truth. His presence around her made her forget all the bitterness of her life and fills it with sweetness. His anger didn't made her mad at him but helps her to understand him better.

Thank you..... ; Sonakshi said with a smile making Dev wonder over the sudden change in her tone.few seconds ago she was sounding as a depressed soul and now there was a strange emotion lingering in the corner of her eyes,making them sparkle in the moon light.

For.......not trying to console you....... ; Dev asks narrowing his eye brow.

For being here.....For giving me the opportunity to live my dream of having a family......For not throwing me out of your house,no matter how much you hated me...For saving Happy Home.....For being at the place,you are.........You owe me ; Saying so she looked into his eyes. Though they were having a certain distance between them yet they could figure out the tiniest emotion of their eyes. Sonakshi's heart warmed with the unknown happiness.

You are here because you earned this place......Nobody owes anything in you..... ; Dev replied nearing her,Her heart skiped a beat when he took a seat near her maintaining few inche's distance from her.

Didn't you tried to find them..... ; Dev asked  looking at her who was pretending to be busy in gazing stars but he could see the traces of her dried tears in the moon light.

No..... ; Sonakshi replied softly.

Why... ; he asked immediately.

Because I was afraid.....I was afraid of hearing the same thing from them too.....I don't want to meet them and hate them..... ;  Sonakshi replied with sadness. One part of her always craved to meet her parents but the other one was afraid to face the consequences of it.

Sorry....... ; Dev mutters softly looking at her.

You should be......How can you rant at a innocent girl like me....... ; Sonakshi replies twitching her nose in annoyness.

But it wasn't my fault totally.....You were too noisy..... ; Dev complained only to receive a angry glare from her.

I was just trying to help you out......But You....You shouted at me....... ; Sonakshi chimed with a sad pout.

Look at that....... ; Dev says placing his hand on her's which was resting on the swing,showing his forefinger up in the sky at the brighting star. His eyes twinkled while lips curved up in a smile.

That's the brightest star in the sky..... ; He exclaimed looking at her with a smile. The twinkle in his eyes made her heart flatter. His cold fingers never failed to send buterflies in her tiny stomach.He looked like that small kid who get excited seeing a new toy.

That's Prakrati.....She always says that she is the brightest star of the sky which came to earth to brighten my life....... ; Sonakshi chimed with a sheepish smile. Just the mention of Prakrati was enough for them to smile their brightest.

Then the second one beside it,must be you.... ; Dev says pointing towards another star,stretching her head to look at his direction,Sonakshi nodded in a big no.

I am the sky and these stars are my babies who filled my darkness with their shine..... ; Sonakshi replied.

Their talk over The sky and stars continued along with counting the stars. Giggling at each-other's wrong counts,they continued their counting until sleep overpower them. Resting her head on his shoulder,Sonakshi glided more into dev.Looping a hand around her shoulder and resting his head over Sonakshi's Dev too slept beside her under the sky. Their faces shined in the moonlight and the cold winds kept kissing their faces. The tiny swing provided them the comfert which they longged for.
