Jal gaye diye Pyaar K - A Thahaan OS

"Oh my God Bihaan Dewar jee you sang so perfectly and the song you chose it's just Awesome! Wahh Thapki you are so damn lucky."

Preeti Bhabi chirped as she complimented Bihaan, making Thapki blush a bit. Everyone applaud him for his singing and his song choice. He earned cheers and whistles from Ashwin and Sanjay bhaya when he sang so heart fully, as if he was trying to connect himself through the song with the one standing in white and orange dress in front of him, smiling unconsciously looking back at him lovingly. Preeti Bhabi and Suman Bhabi continued teasing Bihaan and Thapki earning laughs from Dadi. Dadi proudly looked at her most beloved Jodi and felt her mission being accomplished as she heard Bihaan talking to Bauji earlier, about how much he wants to tell Thapki about his feelings but he never got the chance. Just that moment Dadi decided that she will play the Cupid between the two and planned for this karaoke competition night. Dadi went towards Thapki and put her hand on her shoulder.

"Thapki beta now it's your turn your husband tried his best but I want you to beat him."

Dadi exclaimed patting her shoulder confidently. Everyone started chanting her name where Vasundhra laughed and Shraddha rolled her eyes at them. Thapki felt a bit upset and Bihaan looked at her sadly understanding why.

"D-Dadi Maa you know I-i-i can't s-s-sing I will stutt-"

"Thapki it's just a little competition beta besides I am sure you will sing as nicely as you sang the aarti remember?"

Vasundhra cut Thapki off motivating her to do as Dadi said. She unwillingly nodded taking the mic from Bihaan as their fingers brushed against others. She went towards the stage.

"Thapki... Bihaan Dewar jee declared his love for you in his song let's see how are you going to reply him back."

Suman Bhabi teased and everyone laughed at her. She looked over Bihaan who had the same red cheeks as her's. She closed her eyes and breathed in thinking about what song she should pick. Everyone was impatiently waiting for her to start but Bihaan was getting more curious. She opened her eyes and looked at Bihaan anxiously telling him from her eyes she can't sing but he assured her putting his hand on his heart, gesturing her to focus on her heartbeats. She was a bit astonished at his gesture but she did as what he said.

"Sunte Hai Jab Pyar Ho Toh Diye Jal Uthte Hain... (I've heard that when one falls in love, lamps start igniting.)
Tann Mein, Mann Mein, Aur Nayan Mein, Diye Jal Uthte Hain... (In the body, in the heart, in the eyes, lamps start igniting.)
Aaja Piya Aaja, Aaja Piya Aaja Ho...(Come my beloved, come my beloved)"

She opened her eyes and found him, fondly looking back at her. She smiled brightly revealing her cheek dimple. Just like him she wanted to tell him everything she has unknowingly started to feel for him in a song. Everyone praised Thapki and her beautiful voice and asked her to continue. She once again confidently repeated her lines.

"Aaja Piya Aaja, Tere Hi Tere Hi Liye, J-J-J-Jal..."

She paused abruptly as she started to stutter. Everyone got worried for her and she searched for him in the room but he was nowhere to be seen. She sadly tried continuing but failed. She felt like giving up but tried one more time and this time she felt a Pat on her shoulder and she was able to spill out the lyrics without stammering. She turned around and saw him looking at her hopefully and lovingly. Thapki knew it whenever she's in trouble he's always there for her and just like every time he helped her again this time. He gave her a smile and was about to leave when he felt her hand on his shoulder and he stopped.

"Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein, Zindagaani... (I want to spend my life in your shade)
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein...
(I want to spend my life in your shade")

She sang promisingly as she wrapped her hands around his waist from the back and put her chin on his shoulder looking directly in to his eyes. He felt his heart bursting out of his chest as she came so close to him. He smiled looking back at her over his shoulder and untangled himself from her grasp. He turned her around and pulled her close to him connecting their chests with each other. After few moments of admiring her husband she pulled him towards a dimly lit room. Bihaan was awe-struck by the mesmerizing beauty of the room. It was dark but only lit up, with thousands of candles placed in the room in every corner and the whole room was filled up with the alluring fragrance of rose flowers, making the scene look more romantic. Although, the scenario was absolutely enchanting but it all seemed dull for Bihaan as compared to the ravishing beauty of the moon of his universe. They stopped in the middle of the room where a huge heart was made out of rose petals and Candles. Thapki sat down in the middle of the heart and start torching up the candles which were left. Everything seemed so unrealistic for them and Bihaan couldn't stop himself from smiling so much. He knelt down slowly admiring the beauty of his soul mate as the air played with her loosely curled strands. She was busy putting flames from one candle to another, just like she has put his heart on fire, with a loveable smile playing on her lips. The flares of the candle made her face glow like a completely radiant full moon. Bihaan tucked her hair behind her ear with his smile fading away slowly as he thought about the last time she decorated this place and it all ended up in disaster. The hurtful memory made Bihaan's heart ache. He turned his head away thinking back to all the mean words he said to her. Thapki noticed it and she put her soft palm on his cheek and turned his head facing her asking him what happened.

"Kabhi Kabhi, Kabhi Kabhi, Aise Diyon Se, Lag Hai Jaati Aag Bhi (Sometimes due to these lamps, fires can also erupt)
Dhule Dhule Aanchalon Pe, Lag Hai Jaate Daag Bhi (On clean clothes, stains are bound to come)
Hai Veeraanon Mein Badalte, Dekhe Mann Ke Baag Bhi(Even the gardens of the heart can turn into barren lands)"

He replied back singing regretfully with a grim expression plastered on his face. She gave him an assuring smile and took his hand and put it on her heart while she put her hand on his chest and felt his heart beating rapidly fast under touch. Bihaan looked at her confusingly and she scooted closer to him and rested her forehead against his closing her eyes and gestured him to feel what she wants to say.

"Sapno Mein Shringaar Ho Toh, Diye Jal Uthte Hain (If one's dreams are decorated, lamps start igniting)
Khwaahison Ke Aur Sharam Ke, Diye Jal Uthte Hain (Of desires and modesty, lamps start igniting)
Aaja Piya Aaja, Tere Hi Tere Hi Liye, Jalte Diye (Come my beloved, only for Your sake, these lamps are burning)
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein, Zindagaani (I want to spend my life in your shade)
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein... (I want to spend my life in your shade)"

Bihaan chuckled revealing his dimple as She caressed his cheek sweetly singing her favorite song and mapped his face, outline by line, with her fingers and stopped just right above his lips which Bihaan kissed making her giggle. Thapki for few minutes looked at him getting lost in his dark orbs. She was unaware of her feelings before but now she knows all the emotions she is feeling for him for the past few weeks is because she loves him. Thapki Bihaan Pandey is now deeply in love with the man in front of her eyes. Yes she has fallen in love with him a long time ago but realized it now. She has fallen hard for him slowly yet passionately with no turning back something even her stars had never imagined would happen. She put her head on his chest hugging him tightly showing him how much she loves him and she is ready to spend her life loving him, until they grow old together. Bihaan was always waiting for getting that one chance to tell her his "dil ki bat". The moment was making him more restless so without wasting time any further, he broke off the hug and cupped her cheeks in both of her palms making her face him. He leaned in and it made Thapki's heart raced with a jet speed.

"I..."

He uttered as he kissed her forehead lingering in there for, what felt like eternity. Thapki closed her eyes as the flesh of his soft lips made contact with her skin.

"Love..."

After pecking her forehead he traveled down to kiss the bridge of her nose which made her chuckle. As he was done he looked into her eyes desirably which made Thapki's eyes go wide. A breath hitched in her throat as she realize he is confessing his love for her and wants to complete his last sentence by kissing on her lips but he stopped waiting for her permission. She didn't say anything and stayed still as she felt him leaning in to capture her lips with his'. He was being hesitant as he paused just an inch away from her face, their nose almost brushing against each other's. His hot breath that she felt on her face made her heart almost jump out of her throat and she shyly stood up running away from him but before she can escape him he grabbed her fingers and stopped her. She froze at her spot breathing heavily and he stepped slowly towards her and hugged her from the back wrapping his arms around her waist intertwining his fingers with her's while she laid her head on his chest. They wanted to stay like this forever but he let her go and twirled her around as she came back crashing on his chest. He took his hand gently and put it on his shoulder as they danced to the rhythms of their heartbeats.

"Saanson Mein Jhankaar Ho Toh, Diye Jal Uthte Hain (If there's a melody in the breath, lamps start igniting)
Jhaanjharon Mein Kanganon Mein, Diye Jal Uthte Hain (In the tinkling of the anklets and bracelets, lamps start igniting)
Aaja Piya, Hmm... Jalte Diye (Come my beloved, these lamps are burning)"

She continued singing to finish the song and toke his hands in hers kissing them. She looked at his lips and then his eyes asking him to complete his sentence. His eyes widened in astonishment as she chuckled leaning in and stopping just inches from his face.

"Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein, and Zindagaani (I want to spend my life in your shade)
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein... (I want to spend my life in your shade)"

She completed her song reminding Bihaan about her promise she made in the song with him and leaned in to close the gap between them but before Bihaan can embrace her plum lips in his' she was brought back to reality with sudden whistles and clappings. She realized she was day dreaming as she found herself in the lounge standing in front of everyone as they all cheered for her.

"Awesome Thapki!! You have such a beautiful voice and you made it sound more romantic when you grabbed Bihaan Dewar jee's hand."

Preeti Bhabi chirped teasingly making Thapki's cheeks go red hot when she looked down at their hands which were intertwined. Bihaan mirror her expression as he was also stunned by her sudden move. She excused herself and went inside the kitchen to drink some water.

Why was I imagining Bihaan with me? am i...??

"What is happening with me??"

She asked herself anxiously as she leaned into the counter for support.

"Pyaar..."

She turned around as she saw Dadi standing in the doorway of kitchen. She walked towards her with a smile stuck onto her face and put her hand under her chin making Thapki face her. Thapki tried protesting but Dadi cut her off.

"Your eyes are saying the truth Thapki you are in love... you are in love with my moti budhi Bihaan just like... he is in love with you."

Those words of dadi somehow stroked a chord in her heart. She felt a sudden wave of joy hitting her after Dadi left her to ponder over her words.

Is Bihaan really...??

She thought to herself as all the Flashbacks started to play in her mind like a film reel. The first time he saved her from the vile Office Colleague, their new year's night moment when he gifted her the star named after her, when he stood up against his family for her and left them, on valentine days party when he gifted her the rose as the token of their never ending Tashan, and when he calls her his Chuk Chuk Gaadi and their Selfie moment and when he took a bullet through his chest fighting for her when that goon and his kid mad fun of her stammering and How relieved she felt when she was able to save him on time, He was always there when he needed her even when she never asked you know why? Because unknowingly he started loving her but the question is does she love him?

"Yes..I think I do!"
