"Maybe some love stories are meant to be loud while others are meant to remain silent"

"Why does he have to look so hot man" she mumbled to herself as he entered the garden area, while Gavin stood besides her at a distance..She was sipping on some Pina Colada, when Gavin excused herself, her feet automatically tapping to rythm, she adored Vaidehi from a distance who seemed to be preparing her own performance, when she felt a familiar fragrance hit her..she sighed knowing who could it be, she did not look besides and kept sipping on her drink while they both stood looking at bunch of untrained dancers trying to be pros in a day for Sangeet tonight..

"Color Coordinating?" he asked with a bemused expression

"You are" she responded now noticing them both wearing the beige colored outfits..

"My bad" he says sarcastically..

"I also could have done better" she gave it back..

"I am doing better" he said now looking at Heer from a distance..she looked up at him, she for some reason felt hurt at his statement but was quick to hide it..

"Good for you" she said trying to walk off when they were interrupted by the very own bride and groom who seemed to be getting married only to re ignite their sparks..

"You guys should perform together" Shivani squealed..

"Fine difference between should and would, you don't see it but it's there" Sidharth said looking at Shivani now trying to walk past only to be stopped by Ashish this time..

"Kya bhai kar lo na..vaise bhi tum dono hi bche ho sb ka decide ho gaya h" Ashish exclaimed..

"That's even better..India's got talent thodi hai ki sbko perform krna pdega..leave me out of it" Shehnaaz said picking her glass back as Sidharth glared at her..

"Tum dono ne kaha tha you guys will behave"

"To iska ye mtlab thodi hai ki tum nahi karoge" Sidharth said, crossing his hands on his chest not giving in..

"Guys please it's our wedding..We will really like it" Shivani requested earnestly..making them both look at each other..

"Haan Daa please" Vaidehi popped from behind , Sidharth looked down at her, he knew the battle was lost the minute she said Daa..

"Fine" they both said together and sighed standing together..while Shivani hugged Shehnaaz and Vaidehi pulled Sidharth pecking him and then going back to her rehearsal..Ashish called the choreographer as he dragged them to the practise area directing them the steps and pinning a song for them..

"Sidharth aap ko peeche se arms per hand slide kark turn karna hai" the choreo directed from nth time, while both of them seemed too stiff to touch each other..

"Shehnaaz lean back on him"

"Why are you guys dancing in so much distance yar"

The choreo kept on bringing them close to move their bodies in a sync while they both kept on finding reasons to pull apart, they would stare into each other eyes as their hands will tremor to the shiver or burn the touch of either shall bring out upon the other..

Sidharth's hand this time run from her wrist as they brushed upon the set of three bracelets and bangles she always wears on her right hand, they tinkled together as his fingers brushed upon it, the sensation was enough to make him step back, he closed his eyes as the jolt of memories flashed in both of their eyes, they parted in different directions after a brief eyelock, realization of their past haunting their present was getting too much to bear. When you are too deep in love, you never really fall out of it, so a slight sensation of what it felt like is enough for you to fall back in..

"Woooahhh...lovelyy" Sidharth's hoots were the loudest as Shehnaz stood just a few minutes distance from him while they clapped as Vaidehi's performance ended..She danced so gracefully on a punjabi number, she was just perfect in the way she did gidhaa, Shehnaaz just felt so proud of her at the way she was her shadow in every way possible that not even a fibre of her body does not feel her not being her child. They say it right its all bonds that tie, the bond that tied them with heart, the bond that ties Vaidehi with Sidharth making him her biggest cheer leader..Vaidhehi had that innocence, she had that beauty of her own that could make anyone her own, they both looked at each other as their hearts smiled at the same thought thanking the heavens for her presence everytime this blessing giggled or smiled at them...

You want me

You gotta know me

If you love me

You gotta show me

Shehnaaz stood in her maroon sharara contrasting beautifully with pink sleeveless kurta, She had her head on her shoulder, the lights turned on as he emerged from behind his fingers tapped carefully on her arms till they met her hands raising them in air in their own air before he turned her burning self to him, locking his eyes with her entwining their fingers as he extended their entwined hands in one direction and then another...

Leja leja leja le ja

Leja leja re

Mujhse door kahin na jaa

Bas yahin kahin reh ja

Main teri deewani re

Afsos tujhe hai kya

Mujhse door kahin na jaa

Bas yahin kahin reh ja

Main teri deewani re

Afsos tujhe hai kya

She danced on his rhythm, as he directed her through the dance her fingers met his palm as he twirled her around, her sharara played as it twirled along with her while their eyes were setting another fire in their beings refusing to break the lock..

Teri meri kahani nayi ban gayi

Tu mera ho gaya, main teri ho gayi

Jahan jaaye tu sang mujhe leja

Leja leja leja leja

Leja leja re

Mehaki raat mein

Chura ke saare rang le ja

Saare rang le ja

Raati raati main

Bheegun sath mein

Tu aisi mulaqat de ja

Mulaqat de jaa

He held her as she laid on his extended leg moving in sync as they moved their bodies too and fro, till he held her hand in his again they tapped their feets to the salsa steps in midst, it was like other one recognized other's melody, they matched their feet in perfect positions..Their chemistry burned the stage but more than that their touch burnt the lost fire in them, the suppressed desires were reigniting as it took no more than their eyes to meet, their hands to brush against each other to bring back the fire their touch set to other's entire being..

Tere liye main hoon

Mere liye tu hai

Dar kis baat ka hai

I wanna know you right

Boy you hold me road side

Now I wanna hear you say

Jahan jaaye tu sang mujhe leja

Leja leja leja leja

Leja leja re

Mehaki raat mein

Chura ke saare rang le ja

Saare rang le ja

Raati raati main

Bheegun sath mein

Tu aisi mulaqat de ja

Mulaqat de ja

Leja leja leja

Leja leja leja

Their hands were sweating under each other's hold by the time they finished the performance, it was nothing burning sensuous moves, but it was the intensity their gaze held, the effect their touch still had on each other, the effect that made them realize how not a tinge of what they felt a year ago has changed, the effect that still set sparks in their world..that burning effect that they knew they could never get over this lifetime, he held her in his arms their fingers still entwined staring dead in each other's eyes, it was as if the trance was broken with the sound of applause and hootings...they parted, she run back of her palm on her upper lip and forehead to wipe off the sweat, she saw him doing the same , a little shy smile played on her lips as she walked off the stage..

"Kya bhai aag, aag laga di..humari performance ka koi mtlb nahi hai ab" Ashish said earning a slap from Shivani on his side..

"Yar AC thik karwao..garmi dekhi hai" Sidharth said dodging his comment, while he actually felt hot..

"Hume pata nahi tha ki tu aise temperature bdhayega, vrna ek extra lgwa dete stage par"

"Tuje apni shadi mein suje hue muh ke sath jana hai" Sidharth said very seriously to him..

"Nahi bhai..kyu" Ashish asked touching his face..

"Fir muh band kar" he said showing his fist, his eyes followed Shehnaaz as she walked and stood beside Gavin and Vaidehi..he excused himself as he headed towards the water stand..

"Water" he heard a little voice making him smile instantly without looking down..

"Thank you miss" he said playfully bending down and kissing her forehead, she in turn spread her arms, he chuckled picking her up..

"Daa my feet are paining" she said whining..

"Acha..why is that"

"You don't know anything..Girls heels pehnti hai to feet pain ho jati hai"

"Ohhh.." he said, closing the bottle cap and keeping it aside and walking with her in arms..he looked at her feet, she was not wearing any heels..

"But you are not wearing any heels angel" he asked her..

"But maa is see" she said pointing to Shehnaaz who sat there sitting on a seat flexing her feet nodding to some mid aged women, with what he could tell from her face was her fake smile..

"You guys danced so pyaaaraa" Vaidehi said extending her hands and giggling..

"Thank you bacha..You also, you looked so graceful baby" he replied kissing her cheeks..he pressed her small legs with his hands in the process..

"You are the best Daa" she said laughing and smiling..

"No , You are the best angel" he replied nuzzling his nose with her tiny one breaking into giggle, they both moved to food stall as they poured their plate for food together with Vaidu pointing what she wants and he putting it obidiently, once he was done he realized even she must be hungry and her feet were paining, he thought of asking her to join them maybe..he held Vaidehi wrist and plate in one hand to direction he saw her sitting last, and turned around immediately when he saw Gavin passing her a filled plate, his blood boiled seeing her laughing away and eating with him..

What else was he expecting his mind scolded, while his heart kept running to the moment they were dancing in their own world oblivious to the world around them, did she feel nothing and did he feel a lot his mind asked him..the thought churned his stomach..

..

Vaidehi and Shehnaaz walked back to their room after dropping Gavin to his floor, she dragged Vaidehi's sleeping figure inside, she changed her clothes removing her accesories while she refused to open her eyes..she chuckled as she made her sleep, in sleep also she was telling her stories of a joke Sidharth made..she laughed at how a little peice she was in herself..she patted her head making her sleep, she pressed her feet a bit till she was sleeping sound..

She got up and herself took a shower, her entire being felt a new sort of freedom in coming out of party clothes and accessories, jeez they feel a different kind of heavy..she sat before the mirror removing her makeup, she looked at her hands that his fingers gazed today, there was something in a way he touched her, in a way he looked at her, he makes her feel so loved, so precious by just intensity of his gaze, by desire his eyes reflect from hers..her heart sinks everytime she thinks about what they were and what they are..it would involuntary question her decision and bring back her regret, her regret of him not understanding her, of them not being able to fight the little storm their relationship was stuck with..She slided in the covers while her mind kept replaying the dance from the evening, a shy smile played on her lips every time she still felt her cheeks burning at memory of his touch..

**

Shehnaz almost groaned as she picked up the call from Shivani, who almost yelled at phone for being not present at her haldi ceremony, she got up groggily walking straight into the washroom..She showered as she put on a white anarkali, she clasped her earrings and combed her hair simple putting just kohl and lipstick she stepped out cursing Shivani for having so many rituals, her feet ached on what she thought was a holiday..

She entered the lawn as she found everyone was already there the music played in background while there was a curtain drawn between Ashish and Shivani as everyone dampened them with haldi, she straight up walked to her, she hugged her apologizing and then applied haldi on her face and nose..their eyes watered as she did that, sisters are your best friends since childhood, you fight, you love, you make up, you share clothes, you share laughs, the first person you run to when you are in trouble, Shehnaaz was always her go to person, Shivani would always run to her, call her at 3 in morning over some stupid fight with her boyfriend and she had been nothing but a good listener and rescuing her everytime..She always knew her wedding will be incomplete without her, and today it was all the tears of gratitude, love and asking support in her new life as well..Shehnaaz bent forward kissing her forehead like an answer that she shall always be here..

She giggled wiping her tears as the atmosphere got a bit emotional, walking to the other side with her team of cousins as they applied haldi on Ashish, followed by sessions of teasing and jumping around when Ashish got up and walked to other side applying haldi on Shivani as well, the laughter jumped around as everyone started playing around with haldi on each other, laughing and giggling while two figure stood at the corner smiling at the bewitching memory of past this day brings back..

He walked over on her side, as they kept laughing looking at happy bunch and people running around and mingling..

"Ooooo your Gavin is applying haldi to that girl" he teased her..

"Ooo you know his name"

"It's a small world" he said shrugging off..

"Ooo he is applying it to your Heer" she teased him this time..while he raised eyebrows at her saying Heer's name..

"Small world" she said mimicking his tone

"She is not my Heer" he said plainly..

"I know" she responded simply..

"How" he asked this time..

"From the way you look at her" she replied looking straight on his face making him straighten himself to let his gaze dive into hers..

Stay tuned..
