Chapter-23
Sameer and Indira dances like there is never tomorrow. Sameer and Indira comes out the dance floor, suddenly someone spills drinks on Sameer's shirt unexpectedly. Sameer makes a face and looks at Indira; she hides her smile seeing irritating face of Sameer. She asks the waiter who is looking horrified for spilling the drinks on Sameer's shirt, "where is wash room". Indira send the waiter to save him from Sameer's angry glares and tells him the direction still trying not to laugh. Sameer gives her a fake angry look and asks her to accompany him.
Indira says "no, you go" Sameer did not listen to her and he tugs his hand in her hair and pulls her making her walk along with him with an attitude.
Indira "ouch, my hair" gives him an irritating look and follows him but sees around her if anyone noticing them. To their luck everyone are busy in their own world. As Sameer reaches wash room, the plumer comes out of wash room says "sir water is not coming." Sameer gives a frustrated look and Indira couldnot stop herself and starts laughing on sameer's helpless expressions.
The drink is an orange juice so it is so sticky and Sameer is really feeling uncomfortable as his shirt is sticking to his skin.
Sameer give her an angry intense look, Indira "ok ok chill, let's go out I will bring some water bottle. You can clean it"
Sameer went outside of disco to the adjacent small garden waiting for Indira. Indira returns with a water bottle. Sameer takes bottle and starts cleaning himself. He opens his shirt buttons to clean the drink spilled on his chest. Indira takes an audible breath looking at Sameer's well-built chest and abs. Indira checks him out with an open mouth taking each detail of Sameer looking from head to toe. Sameer did not notice Indira he is busy in cleaning himself, when he turns towards Indira, he notices Indira drooling over him. Sameer hides his smile and looks at her. Indira slowly moved her eyes to meet with Sameer eyes. Sameer gave her a satisfaction smile and rises his eye brow as if asking her did-you-like-what-you-see. Indira blushes for getting caught red handed drooling over Sameer. Indira turns her face to hide her blush. Sameer goes near Indira standing at her back whispers in her ears "do you like what you see?" Indira closes her eyes feeling Sameer's breath on her neck; her heart beat rises as if she is running a marathon. She tries to run from there but Sameer hold her hand preventing her from running pulls her close almost hugging her from back says "but I like what I am seeing" he slowly touches Indira's blushing cheeks with his thumb making circles on her cheek, Indira closes her eyes savoring his touch.
Ishitha and Rishi goes near the drinks area, Ishitha orders some soft drink for both. At the same time some other orders for some hard drinks. Drinks get mixed up and Ishitha drinks the hard drink a little and gives a weird look to the drink, takes another sip and she likes the new taste and she empties the glass. Rishi drinks his soft drink without noticing Ishitha's reaction.
Rishi "Ishitha, it is surprising that I danced. Actually I never danced this much before in life all because-" Rishi turns to see there is no Ishitha, Rishi searches "Ishitha where are you?" Rishi searches for Sameer and Indira. But he cannot find any one.
Rishi "kamal hain suddenly everyone are missing" Rishi goes near to Sheetal to ask her.
Sheetal "no Rishi, why where is she."
Rishi "donot know where is she, till now she is with me but suddenly she is missing" panic can be seen clearly on his face.
Sheetal "donot worry Rishi she will here only. We will search or we will give an announcement through DJ" Before Sheetal and continues they heard DJ saying "Guys we have a sweet girl with us who want to dedicate a beautiful song for her lover and want to propose him infront of even one."
Rishi turns towards sheetal again without showing any interest what DJ is saying but stops hearing Ishitha's voice and turns with a jerk towards the DJ. Ishitha climbs the table and stands at the center of table and every one are encouraging her. Rishi and Sheetal stands staring at Ishitha. Rishi slowly goes forward without taking his eye off her.
Ishitha "Rishiii, this is for you which I want to tell you the day I joined as intern and started working under you."
Ishitha has drunken but she is not that much drunk not to remember what she is doing. In drinks effect in impulse she took mike and started singing but she became nervous when the reality hit her, she forgot about her cousin sheetal who may create trouble for her with her parents, but looking at Rishi's encouraging and love filled expression she decided to continue what she started. Ishitha starts singing thought she is not a great singer but love tune made her voice sweeter for everyone to listen and for Rishi it is like a sweet dream.
Ishitha "Haan hai Koi to wajah
Jo jeena ka maza yun aane laga"
She motions with her hands'
Yeh hawaon mein hai kya
Thoda sa jo naasha yun chane laga
She puts her fingers on her lips'
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Hua hai teri raahon mein aakar (pucho na pucha na)
Rishi comes and help her to get down the table, Ishitha puts her hands around Rishi..
Pucho na pucha mujhe kya
Milega teri bahon mein aakar
She runs on to the dance floor dancing'.
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
O raama
Yeh Ishq haaye baithe bithaye
Jannat dikhaye haan
Ishitha stops singing and looks at Rishi'.
She bends on her knees taking Rishi's hand in her hands and says "I love you Rishi. I really loved you the day I saw you for the first time in the Lab, I am sorry happy when I was posted to work under you. But never dared to show my feeling openly for you. I donot know how much I love you but one thing I know I cannot live without you. Will you be mine forever."
Rishi is on 9th cloud. He said "yes" and lifted Ishitha to stand on her feet and hugged her tight. Ishitha has tears in her eyes. Rishi and Ishitha hugged each other and everyone clapped around them. Ishitha sees an encouraging expression on Sheetal face and she gets relaxed. Sheetal comes forward and hugs Ishitha congratulating her. Ishitha is sweetly surprised to see Sheetal is supporting her. She thanks her stars for what all happened now, she got more confident about her love. Rishi and Ishitha celebrated their love with Champaign sheetal ordered. Every one cheered them for their love.
Sameer and Indira missed the whole part as they are still in the garden little away from loud sound. Though Ishitha's voice in mike is audible to them but they are in there own world to acknowledge it. Sameer and Indira comes out of there world when they heard loud cheering sound.
Indira turns towards Sameer looking into his eyes says "I I need to go".
Sameer "cannot you stay for few minutes-" pulls his hair back gives a smile towards Indira and is about continue his cell rings.
