RECAP

"Kis din?" I asked "Kya bola tha maine?"

He chuckled mockingly and said "That you." He took a step forward and I backed off a step.

"That I? " I asked him walking back and he kept taking slow step toward me. I stopped when I felt my back touching the cold stone wall of clock tower .

"You.. " he stopped inches away from me. I looked away at side not wanting to meet his eyes.

His warm breath fanned my ears,making me shiver as he leaned in and whispered "love me."

What?! When did I say that? And if I did, then why couldn't I remember? Maine kab bola? Kyu bola?

"Sanam" I gulped holding back my tears. This was too much. I couldn't take it. His closeness, his touch- my feelings for him.

"Hmm?" He breath, still so close to me.

"Please..." I requested "Please stop." And without my knowledge a tear drop escaped from my eye.

"Stop what?" He asked, not moving an inch away.

"Being this close to me." I whispered.

"I can't. " he said, making me look at him.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him fisting his shirt in mixed emotions; anger, sadness and...love, which I was trying to deny.

He remain silent as I continued "Sanam..you don't know how bad your closeness is effecting me." I gripped his shirt more firmly, "yes! Yes, I love you! " I finally confessed and he smiled at those words, "now please, please leave me!" I requested lowering my gaze.

"I love you, too.."

This made me look up at him again. My dream now came up as deja vu. I felt that my life and God waa joking with me. "This isn't a joke, Sanam!" I tried to push him away but he didn't let me go.

"I know. And I am not joking. " he said looking straight into my eyes. My world was frozen in that moment. I couldn't believe it. Does he really?

"This is a dream, I know." I let the tears fall. Just then I was in his warm embrace. His arms around me, holding me safely.

"No, its not." He smiled and I wrapped my arms around his shoulder. Who cares if it's a dream or not. Anything that mattered right now was that- I was with the only person I love.

"Sanam.." I breath in his warm embrace. It felt so safe and good in his arms. I closed my eyes as I spoke, "Do you really? "

"Really what?" He said in our hug.

"Love...me?" Urgh! I can't even say those two words together in front of him without hesitation.

I sensed him smiling as he nodded. I buried my face in his chest and he chuckled.

I felt like I was in heaven! Seventh heaven! He loves me. Sanam loves me!

I tried to move away but he held me close, "What happened? "

"They must me coming any moment. I wonder what's taking them so long. "

At my this sentence he smiled, his mischievous smile. Then it clicked in my mind.

"Wait?" I looked up at him "Did you and Ke-" I didn't even complete my sentence and he nodded.

This whole thing was planned! Keshav is making the delay so that Sanam and I...God!

"You two are-"

"Awesome? We know." He laughed he pulling me in a hug again and I pushed him away, looking out of the window. The sun was setting now.

He hugged me from behind and kept his chin on my shoulder.

"Stop doing that." I shivered.

"Stop what?"

"Being this close to me, I repeat. "

"I can't, I repeat, too."

I smiled and kept my hands on his. "When did I become so lucky?" I asked him.

"When you went to see off your brother and swapped your phone with mine." He chuckled.

The memory flashed in my head, indeed, that day was the reason behind everything, or else I would have simply seen him in concert. No phone calls, no parking lot incident, nothing. Thank God it happened! I smiled.

"So, they are not coming up here?" I asked.

"No."

"Why?" I looked at him.

"I don't know." He replied making me frown.

He smiled and sat on the window ledge. I gasped "You can fall!"

He pulled me close and said, "I won't." and he tuck my hair behind my ears and I tilted my head because of the tickling sensation which I felt when his fingers touched my skin.

He laughed and I looked up at him. Then I remembered something and searched my purse for it. When I found it, I took it out.

"For you." I said passing him a small packet "What? I bought it for you and I have something for others also." I said looking at his confused expression.

He shrugged and opened the packet revealing a locket in shape of music. Yeah, I bought the male one from there before he bought the female one for me.

He smiled, "The same?"

I shrugged replying him shyly "Yeah..Mujhe bhi yahi acha laga tha."

"Agar yeh pair tha toh how did you buy it single?" He said.

"Mana liya..bas."

"Now I know why you were so stunned when I bought that one for you." He said in a teasing tone making me blush.

I looked down and said "I was like, yeh kya? Among all those jewelry his eyes caught the pair of the one which I bought for him."

He chucked, "Ab bolti hi rahogi ya phenao gi bhi."

"How can I? Khud pheno. "

"Waise he jaise maine tumhe phenaya tha." He reminded me and my eyes landed on my pendant.

"Fine. Turn then." I asked him to turn. He smirked shaking his head.

"Aree.."

"Phenao." He stood up but didn't turn and neither let me to go back. At last, I had to nearly hug him to hook up the locket.

We sat on the window ledge for quite long. "It's dark." I said in low voice.

"So?"

I am scared of dark. Wait. It's dark and no one had called us yet to get us out from here?

"Sanam?"

"Hmmm?"

"It's dark and no one has came here or called us yet."

He joint his eyebrows together and called Keshav, who didn't pick up the call.

I looked out of the window and saw that the gate is closed! What?!

We are locked in here?

I looked at him in anger and scared, both at same time.

"This is not planned. Trust me."

I sighed in frustration and sat "What are we going to do inside this clock tower?!"

He laughed.

"Stop laughing!" I snapped,and he laughed harder. "Mujhe andhere mein dar lagta hai!" I revealed my fear.

He stopped laughing and sat beside me, "Main hu na?"

"Tum candle ho?" I asked him sarcastically.

"Main woh aag hu jo kabhi bujhe na!" He chanted his line from his song and I slapped on his shoulder jokingly.

"What time is it?" I asked. The light from the window was decreasing with passing time.

"6:45."

"Do you think they will fetch us?"

"I doubt that. Keshav is very..very shaitaan." he chuckled.

"Says who?" I retorted and he sat beside me. It was totally dark by now. And I felt too much scared.

"Mujhe dar lag raha hai." I said in darkness. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, "Now?" It felt so good. This is even better than my dream. Oh! I love this man so, so, so much!

"Still." I lied and then he turned on his phone's flash light. I grinned and thanked him.

I looked at him when I sensed his gaze on me. He was looking at me with those loving eyes, filled with love. I always dreamt about his eyes looking at mine but who knew, that my dream will come true one day. And I just hope that this isn't a dream.

This was my heaven.

(Yakeen nahi hota jannat hai yaha.)

He brushed my cheeks with his fingers and I closed my eyes, my body shivered with his warm touch.

I felt his breath on my face. He was so close to me. I opened my eyes to look at his. His lips were only an inch away from mine. He leaned and I closed my eyes again.

As soon as his lips touched mine, I pushed him away. "Sorry. " I breath.

He didn't say anything nor did he seem angry.

It was my first kiss and I spoiled it! I didn't even dare to look up at him. Embarrassed of what I did and also, for pushing him.

First, we were stuck in this tower for whole night and second, this incident made it so, so, so awkward!

"Well..." I said breaking the silence. "Sanam? Are you mad at me?"

"No " he simply replied and his voice was soft and gentle as always; not a hint of anger. I smiled when I looked outside the window, the cloud seemed to change its colour.

"Is it going to rain?"

"Maybe." He said looking up at the clouds as well. His eyes were twinkling like stars which the dark sky was missing today.

Can this get more filmy?

It was around 11'O clock and we sat there talking about random things when I remembered something. "Sanam? Come with me."

"Where?"

"Just come na..." I pulled him as I stood up. He held my hand and then we walked down the stairs. "Why are we going down?"

"You will know." And I stop at a spot.
