Love at First sight Episode #3 Mutual Attraction
On the way to home Sumer talks to Nahar about Narpat's family.
"We were very good friends and grew up together. Your papa also was fond of Narpat. You and Saloni always played together. You liked Saloni's hair so much you always pulled her hair. She had very silky hair and you hair was curly. You were always making her cry still you will not play with any one but Saloni. Many times your papa will joke with Narpat to give Saloni as Nahar's bride. We have so many old pictures of you and her playing together. Those were the days. Then Narpat moved to city and got involved in politics and distance increased as the time passed. But I am so happy I found him back. I still see the same old Narpat. Saloni is also very sweet girl." says Sumer fondly remembering old memories.
Nahar was just listening and smiled. When they got home Sumer took out the old albums and showed the pictures. Nahar was surprise to see so many of his pictures with Saloni.. But he vaguely had any memory. He never looked at those pictures because the old albums reminded him of his parents. But today he did not feel bad. He was very surprised with a change in him and went to bed thinking about Saloni and also that is uncle trying to fix me with Saloni. I got some vibes from uncle and Narpat uncle's talk. She does not look bad. She is not beautiful an average looking with slightly darker skin tone. I think I need to know her better. Am I falling for her? May be the time will tell. She must be a good singer since she has collected all this trophies. Why am I thinking about Saloni?
On other side Saloni also can't stop thinking about Nahar. She is thinking I have so many boys as my friends. My best friend is Neel. We always hug and hit each other. Play with each other. Man's touch is nothing new to me. Why do I feel this way when Nahar touches me? What is happening to me? Every time he touches me it's like 440 volt current passing thru my body. I can't stop thinking about him. Am I in love with him? I don't know what he is thinking about me. He may not even like me and here I am building my dreams. I need to stop this and find out what are his feelings. She goes to sleep and again have the dream where she is sitting in the park with him like 2 love birds.
She wakes up early as she could not sleep. She keeps telling her brain to stop thinking about Nahar and think about her competition. She comes in kitchen. Ambika is making tea and breakfast. Ambika is surprise to see Saloni up early and asks is everything ok with her. She nodes her head and helps Ambika with breakfast. She gets ready and goes to college hoping to see naahr in the bus with disappointment. She passes the day in the excitement that she will see him tonight in the competition as sumer uncle promise that they will be there. After college they go the community hall and she waits for her family. Saloni's parents and sister Shweta and brother sahil comes for the competition with Sumer uncle. But there is no sign of Nahar. She gets disappointed and cries inside her heart. As they are about to start the competietion Nahar shows up to wish her good luck with flowers. Saloni's face lights up as she thanks him for flowers. Narpat Ambika and Sumer notices and they smile.
Competition starts. It is very exciting competition. Neel and Saloni are announced winners. Nahar is totally mesmerized listening to saloni. They decide to have another competition between Neel and Saloni.. Peolpe from audience give 5 songs each and then they decide winner after each song. The contestant with most score is winner. Till the 4th round Neel and Saloni both are in tie with equal score. Now Nahar gives songs for saloni and Neel. Saloni is declared winner with the last song. Nahar is totally lost listening to saloni singing the song
"Na jane kya huva jo tune chhu liya khila gulab ki tarah mera badan".
Neel gracefully accepts the defeat. Saloni is declared winner over all with 2 trophies. Neel gets one trophy. They both congratulate each other. Saloni ask her parents to come up on the stage and giver her one trophy. A big round of applause starts. Saloni bows to her parents and then when she comes down from the stage she bows to summer.
As they are about to go home Sumer decides to take them to restaurant.
" Saloni beta I would like to give party in your honor. You are a wonderful singer. Do you know who suggested the song that you sung and won? Nahar did". says Sumer smiling.
Saloni thanks Nahar. Nahar congratulates her shaking her hand. Saloni again feels the current and pulls her hand. Sumer tells Narpat let us older people go in one car. Let the kids go with Nahar. Sumer makes Saloni sit in front with Nahar. Shweta and sahil sits in the back.
" Saloniji you have very beautiful voice that can make any one crazy about you. You are an awesome, amazing wonderful singer. I was totally mesmerized by your singing. The songs I gave you and Neel are my favorite songs. You even sang so well. If I may can I get a tape of your competition? Neel is also a good singer. But he made few mistakes in last song". says Nahar politely.
"Thank you Naharji. You can call me Saloni as I am youngr than you. I will definitely get the tape for you. Both are also my favorite songs too. You know music so well." says Saloni blushing. Nahar smiles and talks to Sahil and Shweta.
As she comes back from the washroom at the restarunt Saloni is forced to sit by Nahar because that is the only seat empty. They are all waiting for Saloni. Nahar hands her menu.
"Saloniji you are the guest of honor today so you order first." Says Nahar smilingly.
As soon as Saloni orders it is Nahar's turn to be shocked.
"Saloniji how did you know what I wanted to eat? Are you a mind reader too?" asks Nahar joyfully.
"These are Salonidi's favorite items Naahrji." Replies Sahil
"What a coincidence these are Nahar's favorite items too." adds Sumer looking at Nahar.
Saloni feels so embarrassed she can barely eat. Nahar is observing Saloni.
"Saloniji today is your day. You have to finish your plate and now it is my turn to give you more food as you did in your home to me. "Says Nahar playfully.
Saloni barely finishes her food and Nahar tries to put more food. Saloni puts her hands over the plate but Nahar holds her hands with his one hand and puts more food in Saloni's plate with other hand. Saloni is so embarrassed as everyone is looking and smiling at them. Nahar too realizes and let go off Saloni's hands. After dinner they decide to go to Nahar's house. Saloni loves the house. They are looking at the old pictures. Narpat and family are amazed to see old pictures of his family and Sumer's and Nahar's family. Saloni sees the picture of her crying and Nahar pulling her hair. Then they both are hugging each other in the next picture while llittle Nahar kissing little Saloni and they are looking so cute together. She feels so embarrassed when Nahar looks at her. She feels like she wants to dig the hole and hide in it. Sumer announces now Nahar will make tea as he makes very good tea.
"Not as good as Saloniji makes. I would like to learn if Saloniji can show me. Can you please?" asks Nahar politely. Saloni has no choice but to go with him. As Nahar gives her everything to make tea their hand touches several times . Saloni now feels that Nahar should never let go off her hand. Nahar is looking at her and smiling. Saloni also notices from the side of her eyes and feels happy. Her face lights up. Nahar brings tea and crackers. They all enjoy.
That night Nahar is lying in the bed trying to sleep thinking about Saloni. He likes seeing her blushing, her singing and making tea with, talking with her and having an eye contact with her. He loves her beautiful hair and big black eyes. He is thinking am I falling in love with this girl? I think she is definately a right girl for me. Wish uncle will ask me now who I want to marry? I think it will be definately Saloni. It feels like she has taken over my heart.
Saloni is also too tired and too excited and can't forget Nahar. She likes everything about him. His looks, his deep voice praising her, the way he looks at her, his eye contact, his touch that goes thru her entire body like electric current. She is thinking I am in love with Nahar. It feels like he has taken over my mind body and soul. When he is around I am nervous. When he is away I want him near me. I quickly needs to make sure he is as crazy about me as I am about him. I get the feeling he likes me. She falls asleep hopes to have Nahar in her dream.
