Things Called 'Love'...(Part 3)




"Hey Shruti, wear something in green and golden for Mehek's mehndi. I want you to twin with me." Shaurya tild Shruti who was getting her makeup done. "She's very well convinced that we are couple so why all this drama now?" Shruti said fixing her winged eyeliner. "I don't want her to doubt at all. Please." Shaurya said. "Okay Sweetheart." Shruti told. "By the way, usse toh jhoot bol loge but how long with you fool yourself ki tum uske bina jee sakte ho?" Shruti looked at him. Shaurya had nothing to say. "I'll go get charged." He told. "Kab tak bhagoge. Let's see Shaurya."




He saw her smiling for the first time in ten years. She still had that beautiful smile to die for. Mehek looged breathtaking in sea green and powder blue lehnga and little jewellery. Nehal was cracking jokes and she couldn't help but smile and laugh. "Nehal, don't you think after dhamakedaar sangeet, this mehndi ceremony is pheeka?" Shruti told. "You are right. What shall we do?" Nehal enquired. "Now that Mehek's mehndi is done and all elders are off to food and stuff, we kids can play, umm, truth and dare. What's say?" Shruti said excitedly. "Great idea!" Nehal hi-fied to Shruti. ( To cliched a game but can't help. Sorry! )




There on a table sat Shaurya, Shruti, Mehek, Rahil and Nehal in a fashion that Shaurya and Mehek were vertically opposite to each other. "Okay. Lemme spin the bottle." Nehal spinned and it stopped on Shaurya. Everyone cheered. "I choose truth." Shaurya said even before anyone asked him of his choice. "Okay. Hmm. Haan, tell us how many girls you dated before Shruti." Nehal said giggling. Truth and dare is a dangerous game you see. "I have loved only one girl and will love her till eternity." Shaurya stole a glance at Mehek but swiftly held Shruti's hand to not get caught. All went Aww except Mehek. "Okay. Lemme spin it now." Rahil spinned the bottle that stopped at Mehek. "So Mehek, is it truth or dare?" Rahil asked. No wanting to face any shady questions she chose dare. "Umm. Okay. Meera Aunty once told you sing nice. So, why not sing a song haan?" Rahil said. She nodded her head.



Ajeeb daastaan hai yeh
Kahan shuru kahan khatam?
Yeh manzilein hain kaun si?
Na woh samajh sake na hum

Ajeeb daastaan hai yeh
Kahan shuru kahan khatam?
Yeh manzilein hain kaun si?
Na woh samajh sake na hum




She looked at Shaurya who in turn looked at Shruti and smiled. It broke her heart but no one was to be blamed. Who waits for someone in this world except for a dumb like her.



Yeh roshni ke saath kyun
Dhuan utha chiraag se?
Yeh roshni ke saath kyun
Dhuan utha chiraag se?

Yeh khwab dekhti hoon main
Ke jag padi hoon khwaab se
Ajeeb daastaan hai yeh
Kahan shuru kahan khatam?
Yeh manzilein hain kaun si?
Na woh samajh sake na hum




Shaurya kissed Shruti's hand and she hugged him. A drop of tear escaped Mehek's eyes but she quickly wiped it before anyone sees. Rahil and Nehal were tapping their hands enjoying the song not knowing what it meant.



Mubaarakein tumhe ke tum
Kisi ke noor ho gaye
Mubaarakein tumhe ke tum
Kisi ke noor ho gaye

Kisi ke itne paas ho
Ke sab se door ho gaye
Ajeeb daastaan hai yeh
Kahan shuru kahan khatam?
Yeh manzilein hain kaun si?
Na woh samajh sake na hum




Everyone clapped and Rahil gave her a tight hug that made her awkward and Shaurya banged his hand on the table. Jealousy is a feeling on cannot control. The bang was loud enough to scare everyone. "What happened?" Rahil asked. "Nothing. Just mosquitoes." Shaurya lied. They moved on. "Excuse me. I think we'll take a leave. It's already too late. Kal jaldi bhi toh uthna hai." Rahil blushed while saying that. "Ahaan. Kal shaadi jo hai." Shruti teased. Game ended and everyone retired to their respective homes.




"Haath dikhao!" Shruti commanded holding a first aid box in her hand. Shaurya was confused. "Perhaps you don't know but when you banged your hand on that table out of jealousy, the ring in your finger injured your hand." Shruti made him sit and started dressing his hand. "Jab itna pyaar karte ho usse toh ye sab kyun kar rahe?" Shruti puts the antiseptic. "You know it na. Please! Let's not discuss on it. Rahil is a great guy. Woh Mehek ko khush rakhega." Shaurya said. "But she'll never love him." Shruti wrapped the gauge roll around his hand. "Pyaar toh phir ho hi jaata hai." Shaurya smiled. "Tumhein toh nahi hua!" Saying that she completed with the dressing and left Shaurya, thinking! Hum ek baar jeete hain, ek baar marte hain aur pyaar...?
