CHAPTER 21- OUR DANCE

हालात जो भी हो,

तू मेरे आसपास ही रहना..

~•DHRUV's POV•~

"Arre mere yaar, welcome to Sanchore '' Garv hugged as soon as I stepped out of the car.

"Garv, I missed you. Wait, Where is Vihaan?"

I asked , hugging him.

" I missed you too." He reciprocated his feelings.

He looked around to find Vihaan. Suddenly, he came closer and asked in a low voice

"You look different today. Wait, you both have started talking!"

I nodded and before he could ask more questions, I asked him to look after the guests.

At the Mandap

Garv and I were standing near the mandap. Shivu jija was emotional seeing Sanjana jija in her bridal look along with Abhi bhabha , I was busy  imagining my fake scenarios  in my mind how she would handle herself during our time.

Teena,one of the cousins of Garv, gave us a plate of flowers so we can bring the rain of flowers during the pheras.

Garv was called  to do a ritual , I don't know much about it. I was missing her. She might be attending the  fake wedding ritual mostly called as tuta tutiya in Sirohi side.

(Tuta Tutiya - a kind of fake wedding organized at the groom's home after baarat leave for the bride's place. The ladies or girls act like bride groom, panditji and other relatives. Overall it is fun)

At Jodhpur

Time around 12 midnight

~•GEET's POV•~

"O bind itto nenko kikan hai" Saroj mamisa , who dressed up as a priest, teased Avantika( the groom).

(Oh, this groom is so young!)

"aapko shaadi karane ke liye bulaya hai, mera majak uda rhe ho. Papa chalo mujhe nhi krni shaadi!" Avantika, dressed as a guy, was in full mood to make her act perfect.

(You are called to get us married but you are finding faults in me.  Papa, lets go I don't want to marry)

"Bind toh bole ghano hai!" One of the ladies, mocked intentionally

(The groom speaks so much)

"Bhagwan ne muh diya hai , toh bolega na !" Kavya, who was the groom's friend, replied.

(God had gifted us mouth to speak, that what's we are doing it)

Varnika, dressed as a bride , sat nearby covering her face with ghoonghat.

This debate was going on and I was checking my phone for an update from his side.

I tapped on Shivu jija status , she uploaded her photos from bandoli. Sitting with no expression, I heard a pop up message sound, he sent me photos.

I was surprised he sent his photos whereas I was expecting Abhi bhabha's photo from mandap.

"Missing me? Then look at my photos!"

I was smiling when I realized the fake wedding was on the verge of ending.

I looked at Nanisa who was busy showing love to Avantika and Kavya. My sisters were shocked as it was visible on  their faces. I thought in my mind,Geet you have challenged  her that you won't be afraid and will stand for yourself.

But deep down, I was scared what if my family doesn't believe my words. What if I have to leave him? Geet, don't be afraid! No matter whether you are right or wrong, never lose your self confidence. Your confidence is your strength, no one can  dominate you .

Next day

Around 2pm afternoon

At Sanchore

~•DHRUV's POV•~

Nabi and her twin Shree, the cousins of Garv, were talking with me.

"Dhruv, don't you think Garv is annoying?" Nabi asked , making Garv stop as he was busy with Bidaai preparations.

"Behen meri , usko kya puch rhi hai?" Garv asked, rolling up his sleeves.

(You are my sister, why are you asking him?)

"Chill,you are not annoying. You are my first…. " I interrupted, to end the war before it begins.

"First what?" He asked with his head moving side by side.

"Best friend!" I replied.

" Toh isi baat pr tu vihaan chlege mere sath jodhpur" He announced placing his hands on my shoulders.

(With this you and Vihaan will join me for Jodhpur)

"Kyu?"

(Why?)

"Arre, hmare yha rasam hoti hai ki dulhan ke sath koi ek jaega. Chote hone ke cons muje aage kar diya Lakshay bhabha ne" He informed me, pulling my hand so I could stand .

(We have a ritual where one of the family members goes along with the bride. Lakshay Bhabha had nominated me, the cons of being youngest")

"Kya chal raha hai?" Shivu jija joined us .

(What's going on?)

He informed everything and she suggested that I should go.

"Dhruv, Garv, Vihaan aur mai hum sab chalte hai Jodhpur. Don't worry I will inform mumma about it.I am so excited to meet Shaktawat sisters' ' Shivu jija expressed her excitement, giving a high five to us.

(We all  are going to Jodhpur)

"Me too,"  Garv said.

"Huh?"

"I mean I am excited to see Jodhpur again!" He closed his mouth with his hand to hide his smile and I know the reason for his excitement.

The whole duration to travel from Sanchore to Jodhpur is around 6 hrs. I can't  wait to meet my rainbow.

"Dhruv, Are you blushing?"  Shivu jija asked.

"No. Not at all. Why would I!" I replied, touching my cheeks.

"She is asking about blushing Dhruv, not about fever  that you  have to check  your cheeks!" Vihaan corrected,removing my hands from my cheeks.

Before I could say, Lakshya bhabha instructed us to join for Bidaai soon. We can't delay more.

Shivu jija requested mumma to allow us to join Garv. Finally she agreed and we placed our bags in the car trunk. Shivu jija decided that she would go to Ahmedabad from Jodhpur.

The Bidaai rituals started and Garv started crying before his sister.

"Garv banna, aap toh sath jaa rahe ho.Roiye mat" Mehar Bhabisa consoled him.

(You are going along  her.Don't cry!)

He hugged her so tightly  and Shivu jija hugged me thinking about how she would leave us during her bidaai.

"Don't cry.I won't send you to your sasural!" I said, wiping her tears.

Bhabosa asked me to make Garv leave his sister as it might get late.

"Garv, jija ko chod . Hum jaa rahe h na sath me!" I said gently removing his hands which were locked  in the form of a hug.

(Leave jija. We are going with her)

I have never seen him  so emotional in my whole life.

As soon as  I broke his hug he hugged me and cried his heart out. I could understand what he was going through. Sanjana jija loves him as her own child. She is a mother in the form of his sister.

"Hey.Don't cry.Control Garv. "

Other family members met her and we four sat in Garv's car. Vihaan started driving and we were the first to leave for Jodhpur.

I can't say how happy I was. Wish I could tell someone my feelings, my excitement. I tried my best to hide it behind my smile. Whenever I could find myself smiling, I would either cough or shake my head . You know what I mean?

***Time skip***

We were just 2 hr away from Jodhpur. Garv , in the passenger seat, Jija and I were in the backseat.  Well, I wore a kurta of white colour. I didn't inform her about my return to Jodhpur.

I heard my phone ringing. I started searching as I didn't remember where it was exactly kept

"Take it. I kept it in my bag, when we stopped our car 1 hr back near Balotra for tea!"

Shivu jija informed me by handing it to me.

It was a missed call from Avantika.

"Who is calling you, Mr.Book magnet?" Garv asked, turning his head back and stressing on the Book magnet.

"Book magnet?" Vihaan asked whose eyes were focused on the road and driving.

"Nothing.He is joking.It is from Avantika" I smirked, looking at Garv.

"Tere paas uske no. Kaha se aaye!" He asked out of surprise.

(How did you find her number?)

"Why are  you so shockkk, Garv?" Jija asked, noticing his facial expression.

"I got it when I was in Hyderabad" I replied and dialed back her number.

"Keep the phone on speaker!" Shivu jija requested.

"Hello Dhruv. Aapsa bata rahe the aap wapas aa rahe ho Gaurav aur Vihaan Bhai  ke sath.Kaha tak pahuche?" She started speaking as soon as she picked up.

(Aapsa informed you are coming back along with Gaurav and Vihaan Bhai. Where are you exactly?)

"Gaurav?" I asked as no one is Gaurav among us.

"Sanjana Bhabisa's Brother, Gaurav Singh Chauhan!" She replied.

We all started laughing except Garv.

"It's Garv singh Chauhan. Ms.Avantika Kanwar Shaktawat" Garv snatched the phone from my hand .

"Whatever! It was a  Slip of tongue. Please give the phone to Dhruv!" She said ,on the other side of the phone call.

He, with disappointment, gave my phone back .

"We will reach within 2 hrs and Abhi bhabha might be there within 3 hrs" I informed looking at Garv from the rear view mirror.

I gave the phone to Shivu jija and she started talking with her.

***Time skip***

~•GEET's POV•~

We all were waiting for Sanjana Bhabisa's arrival.  The ladies were busy with making Mod (A painting made on the wall with figures like Groom,bride and other things related to wedding)

We , all sisters including Varnika and Radhika were decorating the main entrance for welcome

"Is this size of circle enough?So I can draw the remaining 6" Kavya asked, holding a paintbrush dipped with red colour.

"This is enough to place the plate over it" I replied looking at it.

"Shivu jija,Vihaan Bhai and Dhruv are coming along with Garv " Avantika informed, decorating the flower rangoli to place the kalash for Griha pravesh ( A pot filled with rice placed on the entrance when a new bride enters home.She is asked to use her right leg to push the kalash making rice fall)

He is coming. Why didn't he tell me anything? Hmm, Maybe it was a  surprise. He is so cute. I thought in my mind.

Also, I was excited to meet Vihaan,Garv banna and Shivu jija. It was going to be fun.

The decoration was finally completed. Next, it's time to get ready. We reached our room.  Should I ask him what colour he is wearing so we can twin again? No, unexpected twinning is best.

I opened my suitcase and I had a pastel pink saree. Should I wear it or should I choose something else?

"Kavya, should I wear this or this?" I asked, pointing towards the saree and churidar.

"Go with a saree." She suggested, checking both.

If he decided to give me a surprise with a sudden return , I should give him a surprise too.

***Time skip***

~•DHRUV's POV•~

We reached Rathore Villa. Finally, I was so tired and exhausted due to lack of sleep but the thought of meeting her was enough to give me new energy.

"Khamma ghani sa" Her mumma welcomed us with a smile who was busy with checking the rituals preparations.

We all took her blessings and greeted her.

"Kavya ke mumma,Hum aapke bete ko lekr aaye hai" Garv introduced Vihaan to her.

(We have your son along with us)

"Hello Aunty.  Sorry mumma bula skta hu aapko" Vihaan asked as soon as he touched her feet

(Can I call you mumma?)

"Tum mere bete ho. Mere betiyon ke bhai ho!''She hugged him with tears filling her eyes.

(You are my son, brother of my daughters)

"Vihaaaaannnnnn Bhaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" Kavya screamed , coming down from the stairs.

"Aa gai toofan" Her mumma murmured looking at her over energetic daughter.

(Here the tsunami arrives)

"Kavyaaaaa"Vihaan gave her a side hug.

"Chalo pehle mai selfie lekar  status dalti hu. Sabko pata chle ki mera bhai kitna cool, smart, handsome aur pyaara hai '' Kavya said, making him match her height and they were busy with selfies.

(Let me take a selfie and post it on status. Everyone should know my brother is so cool,smart and handsome)

"Aap sab bahar kyu khade ho andr aao. Abhi ko kitna time lagega?" She asked, making us sit on the sofa.

(Why is everyone  standing outside,please come inside. How much time  will Abhi take to reach here?)

The house, decorated with lights, flowers and all the ladies are busy with the work to get done.

"40 mins aur lagegi!''Shivu jija informed her mother.

(More 40 mins)

Garv was sitting nearby and came closer and asked,

"Where is Avantika and Geetanjali?"

"How do I know?" I replied, staring at him.

I heard footsteps made out of sandals due to their contact with the floor. We turned back and it was Avantika.

"Muhh band kr warna tu toh marega mai b maruga tere sath" I whispered in Garv's ear as his eyes and mouth were open looking at her.

(Close your mouth. Otherwise I will join you  in your punishment)

He closed his mouth and looked at me, said in a slow tone

"She looks so cute in real life. I just saw in her sister's stories"

"Whatever it is!Do control!" I replied.

"Hello vihaan Bhai! Hi shivu jija!"

"Hellllooo Dhruv"

She greeted us one by one and then she turned towards Garv.

He was so nervous , I could sense it from  the sweat on his forehead. It is December but look at him.

"Garv Right?" She asked .

He nodded .

"Hello.Nice to meet you soon!" she said with a little smile.

"Hi … Avan… avin…"He stammered.

"Garv, she is Avantika."Shivu jija informed correcting him

I hold his hand and he finally started speaking correctly,

"Hi Avantika! Nice to meet you!"

Then She sat beside me, I was a pillar between them tbh.

"Where is Geetanajli?" Vihaan asked,

"She is upstairs. She might be busy with some work!" Avantika replied, looking all around to find her.

"I have an important call to make! I will be back soon!" I informed as I made a plan to meet her on the first floor. Call it a surprise.

I secretly found my way to the first floor so no one could see me. I knew the room where she was staying.

Thank God all the guests were on the ground floor.  I called her and she received it in the first ring.

"Hi, where are you?"She asked.

" in your heart.Rainbow" I replied, it was unintentional.

"Uff, Book magnet in lover's era hmm?"She teased.

"I am on the first floor.Are you in your room?"I asked, as I don't want anyone to notice me roaming here.

Suddenly her room door opened . She was standing in the saree. She wore the earrings which I have gifted her . The wavy hair touching her waist and her eyes  with kajal welcomed me with love.

Haayeeeeee.

I said admiring her, keeping my hand on my heart.

"Don't act like a hero!" She said, pouting her lips which were coloured in pink lipstick.

"How should I act?" I leaned towards her.

"Like my best friend!"

Her eyes widened as if she saw a ghost. The voice sounded familiar. I turned and I was shocked.

"What are you doing here Garv?" I asked.

"You have told your feelings to her.Can't you inform me once?" He complained, pinching my cheek.

"We want some privacy. Wait,How do you know about it?" I asked, realizing it.

"I didn't ask you to tell me line by line about your confession. Better you could say, Garv, I told her about my feelings. That's it!"He lectured me.

She was feeling so shy in front of him. I asked him to go downstairs.

"Okay okay. Well, I am your jethsa but not that typical one. We are friends! And you both have time for your lovey dovey moments. Sanjana jija's car is late by one hour!" He informed her and gave me a hug as he was so happy seeing us together.

(Jethsa- Husband's elder brother)

He went downstairs and She asked me to come inside of the room.

"Is there anything special?" I asked entering the room

Suddenly we heard anklets sounds and it was not hers.

"Dhruv, we should hide. We can't close the door . What if they knock it ?" and she was getting nervous.

"Hide in the curtains behind the door"I instructed

We both rushed to hide and suddenly there was a power cut.

It was dark in the room and the whole house was filled with complaints of power cut as it was clearly audible.

We were waiting for the anklet sound to end but we were able to hear it. She snuggled her head on my shoulder and I held her by her mid back due to the absence of enough space.

I felt her breaths near my neck, Dhruv control . Don't rush. For God's sake please.

But I wasn't able to control myself . NO NoNOOOOOO.

I brought her a little closer and whispered "Please stay away. Otherwise I will end up tasting your lips like a man does in the book!"

She lifted her head and I could see it due to the moonlight and she was surprised .

Dhruv, what did you say? Who gave you the right to say this? There were many ways to ask her but now she would think of me as a desperate boy who was interested in kissing.

"How do they do it?" She asked to come closer.

"Some do it wild."I replied, taking a gulp in my throat and her face was so close to me.

I could feel our faces , closer and she stood on  her toes and her lips touched my right cheek.

I hold her by her waist bringing her closer  and her hands placed on my shoulders, leaving a mere distance between us.

" I won't do it without your consent!" I whispered into her ear.

She breathes in and out. She nodded and said

"You can!"

Then our lips were closer ,  I closed my eyes and felt her lower lips on mine and we touched our lips together.

Then,we kissed forgetting why we hid here . I tried to be gentle with her . I pulled her towards me ,bringing her closer and she locked her hands around my neck. Then, the power was back breaking our kiss.

"I don't know how to kiss!" she said , hiding her face ,making me laugh at her innocence.

"Even it was my first time" I told , hugging her and she hid her face out of embarrassment .

"You read books. You know how it is done?"

"Geetanjali, no need to take it so seriously. It was special for me.. No more debate!"

She looked with her innocent eyes.

"You look so beautiful in this saree!"I kissed the upper side of her right palm.

I took my phone and I clicked our first photo with the help of the front camera.

"We should go down!" she ordered and went outside of the room.

~•GEET's POV•~

Geetanjali, what did you do? You kissed him.

Why didn't I feel awkward with him? His embrace, hug and touch were the safest. I always hated this kiss and hug . Why was I able to agree with him when he asked for consent?

For me, he was my home where I am safest, where I have no fear . I didn't do it because I wanted it to happen , It was something else. Maybe because he knew how I was . I don't know how the kiss came between us.

I was not able to understand how I did it.

"Geetanjali"  I heard Vihaan's voice in the middle of the ritual bringing me back to the senses of what was going around me.

The rituals were in the middle phase. Sanjana bhabisa along with Kiran mamisa were performing the ritual of lifting plates one by one without making any sound while.doing it.

I started talking with Vihaan  at the same time I was searching for him. He was not present over there.Shivu jija joined us.

I hugged her. We continued talking and I was feeling a bit nervous thinking I had kissed her brother.

The rituals were done. All the ladies were busy giving a token of love in the form of a gift to the newly bride.

***Time skip***

~•DHRUV's POV•~

We were sitting in a room on the second floor. Not with them.

I got a call from Avantika and Garv was looking with suspicion.

"Why does she call you every time?"  He complained like a little child.

"I didn't ask her to call me!"  I replied, cutting the call

Vihaan was on the balcony talking with his mother over the phone. She entered the room wearing a red night dress with a sweater as it was winter.

"Why don't you join us? We are playing games in the nearby room," She asked us.

"We will join you . Geet baisa, sit here! I have something important to do" Garv asked her to sit.

God, please stop him talking about Avantika.

"Dhruv, hold her hand. I can't put her hands to yours as she won't be comfortable..Do it on my command" He ordered.

We started denying as we couldn't hold our hands in front of him.

"I told you already I am cool jethsa"

And came closer and said in my ears slowly

"that power cut was on purpose. I switched off the main power supply of the house,"

My eyes widened hearing his words. Should I hug him or slap him?

"Teri hone wali biwi hai. Pakad na haath"

He insisted.

(She is your future wife.Hold her hand)

I asked her with my eyes and she shyly nodded.

I hold her hand and he took his phone

"Aise kya pakad rahe ho. Do it properly!"

(Why are you holding like this?)

I held it as he said, he clicked the photo and we removed our hold .

He sent me the photo, deleted from his phone and smiled.

"Najar na lage mere DHRUV AUR USKI GEET KO"

(Evil eyes off from my Dhruv and his Geet)

I won't deny but he is so pure, I sensed how happy he was seeing us together.

We reached the room and the girls had already covered themselves with blankets.

Virendra and Vihaan joined us too.

"Let's begin the party of Rathores in collaboration with Shaktawats, Deoras,Chauhans and Raichands"

Avanti announced entering the room with a tea kettle and snacks.

Nakuul followed her with cups and one more kettle.

"Who is team Chai and who is Team coffee?"

She asked, standing in the center.

We all sat in the form of a circle keeping our hands in blankets to keep it warm.

"Team Chai raise your hands?" Radhika asked .

Garv,Virendra, Shivu jija, raised their hands and she did too.

"Aap chai nahi pioge?" Garv asked Avanti and I hit his back to make him control.

(Won't you drink Tea?)

"I am a coffee person,"She replied.

We , with our cups and mugs, decided to play truth or dare.

She was right in opposite of mine and Garv came closer who sat beside me

"Dhruv,  I know she is 16, a school going girl. But I will wait for her till she understands what love is. If she doesn't want me, I won't force her."

I looked at her and then him. How come he became so mature all of a sudden?

"Here is the bottle, we all know the rules, yes. But still we have kids, stay within your limits!" Vihaan started mentioning the rules.

"Okayyy!" We all agreed.

He started turning the bottle and left it. We all were waiting to see who was the first one to be chosen.

The bottle stopped pointing at me and the questions will be by Virendra.

I wish I could  hit my fate to the wall. I don't know what he was going to ask.Still,  Hope for the best!

"Truth or Dare!" Virendra smirked.

"Truth" I replied and she widened her eyes as she knew her cousin very well.

"You must have 15-20 gfs. I am talking about girls, not your books." He questioned .

"Guys, we have nakuul , kavya and varnika here!" Vihaan reminded us.

"We know what gf and bf are!" Kavya replied and asked me to answer the questions.

"Dhruv, you are handsome, don't lie you don't have any!" He repeated the words.

She was looking at me and then at Garv.

" Not 15 -20. It's 1. Not my girlfriend but  She is your Bhabisa. Just because you consider me as your brother. And don't ask me who she is. I will invite you to my wedding  with a special invitation. Her privacy matters me the most right now!"

"Dhruv, tujhe koi pasand hai?" Shivu jija swas shocked.

(Dhruv, do you like someone?)

Everyone was surprised and she was staring at me.

I nodded and I started rotating the bottle to avoid more questions.

The bottle was rotating and suddenly stopped at Garv . And the one who was going to ask him was Kavya.

"Choose Dare!" Kavya ordered.

"Where is the truth?" Garv asked. They are real life Tom and jerry.

"You will choose Dare. You know how to play  Guitar, right?"  She asked, teasing him with a funny expression.

"So what?"

"Sing a song and play a guitar!" She got the guitar hung on the wall of the room.

Garv checked whether it is working or not.

"You know how to play a Guitar!" Rainbow asked .

"He is a singer at our college. Every girl in our college  goes mad because of his  singing" Vihaan informed.

"Even Dhruv knows," Garv informed.

"Ek second. Mera bhai muje hi nahi pata. Usko koi pasand hai, usko guitar bajana bhi aata  hai. Ab mat kehna tu secret singer hai?" Shivu jija started mentioning after feeling left out.

(Wait a second, I don't know anything though he is my brother. He likes someone,he knows how to play Guitar . Now don't  tell me you are a secret singer?"

"He knows  to sing!" Rainbow informed without realizing .

"How do you know?"Avantik asked .

"Well….. That.. He sang in Conclave so I know!"

Shivu jija with her side eyes , stared at me.

"Sorry jija."

"Leave this topic. Mr.Singer , go ahead "Kavya ordered, stopping  us from continuing our  revealing secrets.

He started playing guitar.

~•GEET's POV•~

I was shocked by the way he replied to Virendra bhabha . Learning the savage replies  from me. Impressive!!!

Garv Banna started playing guitar and I was excited to see him singing.

(Guys, play the song Chaleya for better experience)

Ishq Mein Dil Bana Hai

Ishq Mein Dil Fanna Hai Ho

Mita De Ya Bana De

Maine Tujhko Chuna Hai Ho Ho

Tere Saare Rang Odh Ke Dhang Odh Ke

Tera Hua Main Sabko Chhod Ke Ho Ho Ho

Ishq Ni Karna Naap Tol Ke Raaj Khol Ke

Aaya Hoon Main Sabko Bol Ke Ho

"Wait, wait . Dhruv why don't you join him?" Shivu jija stopped him in the middle.

"Yes, Dhruv. Show our bro power!" Garv banna gave him a high five.

"Wait, let me join as well!I know how to sing.Geet jija inform them!" Avanti sat near Garv banna and wished them both best of luck.

The boys started singing

Oh  mai taa Chaleya Teri Oar

Tera Chaleya Hai Zor

Tera Hoya Main Yaar Ve

Bhuleya Ae Sansaar Ve

Jag Tere Liye Chhodiya

Dil Tere Sang Jodiya

Ab Tera Main Toh Ho Gaya

Paa Ke Tujhe Main Kho Gaya

We started clapping to give them a music beat. We know we can't match their talent . Here comes Avanti's part.

Ishq Mein Dil Bana Hai

Ishq Mein Dil Fanna Hai Ho

Ho Ho Ho

Hansa De Ya Rula De

Maine Tujhko Chuna Hai Oh

Oh Ho Ho

Duniya Kehti

Ishq Bhool Hai Befizool Hai

Humko Toh Dil Se

Kubool Hai Oh Oh Ho Ho

Tujhme Dikhta

Rabb Ka Noor Hai Ek Suroor Hai

Tu Hai Apna Yeh Guroor Hai Oh

Oh Oh Ho

Now, the boys joined her for the last part of the  song.

Oh  mai taa Chaleya Teri Oar

Tera Chaleya Hai Zor

Tera Hoya Main Yaar Ve

Bhuleya Ae Sansaar Ve

Jag Tere Liye Chhodiya

Dil Tere Sang Jodiya

Ab Tera Main Toh Ho Gaya

Paa Ke Tujhe Main Kho Gaya

With this, their performace ended.

"Wow! Avantika I never knew you could sing!"  Dhruv praised her.

"I don't sing often. But you both have got skills." She replied.

"Let's Dance," Radhika suggested , switching on the music in the speaker.

" Let's make a pair. Mr.Singer and Geet Jija. Mr.cricketer and Me. Virendra Bhabha and Avantika .Shivu jija and Vihaan Bhai. Radhika and Nakuul. Varnika has slept already."

Kavya announced one by one.

"One more thing, we have to switch partners by moving to the next person on your right,  Whenever I say switch.It's up to you how you want to dance!" She mentioned the rules.

"If you are not okay, no issues, we won't do this dance ! She should pair you with him " Garv Banna started speaking in a low voice so no one would hear us.

"It's okay!"

We were standing with our dance partners.

The song started and we all started dancing. Kavya was doing a couple dance with him.

He was looking at me with those eyes wishing for me to be with him.

"Switch,"Kavya said and we switched partners. It was vihaan this time.

"So my dear sister, let's  do our dance!" I gave my hand to him and We started doing a couple dance but he was not touching me .

He started rotating me with his hand and kavya announced

"SWITCH"

AND IT WAS HIM AS SOON AS I REALIZED STOPPING ME TO FALL.

"Don't worry, nobody would doubt us!" His eyes speak his words without saying anything.

Kavya changed the song and it was Jaaniye.

Why such a romantic song, Kavya? I questioned  in my mind.

Suddenly Saroj mamisa came into the room asking us to sleep. It was already 3.30am.

Without saying anything, we all went to our rooms. Suddenly Garv banna stopped me.

"Geet baisa, This is the room where we three will be sleeping. I will make Vihaan busy with some work for 15-20 mins. I know you both will be long distance soon. Enjoy your time!"He said, looking at us.

"It would be awkward for us.let me sleep." Dhruv denied .

"What awkward haa? I know you from primary classes. Do what I say. Take these earpods , connect them. So nobody knows the song is going on. Do a good and romantic couple dance. Don't open the door unless I say the codeword!" He smiled and patted his shoulder.

"What codeword?" Dhruv asked.

"Please Garv banna, don't do this." I continued.

"I am your jethsa . Do what I say. The  codeword is  cup of tea!" Saying this , he stepped out of the room and locked the room from outside.

He closed the door as well and gave me his phone asking me to play the song.

He gave one of the earpods to me.

"Dhruv, I should go!" I said returning his phone.

"I have my train at 11am in the morning. take care of yourself. I just got this info 1 hr back when Vihaan informed me."

Geet, control no tears.

I took my phone and connected.

I played the Jaaniye song as it was last played.

We wore earpods in our one ear and kept my phone away.

He asked for my hand and I placed it on his.

(Play Jaaniye song for more better experience!)

The song started to play and we started to dance.

I placed  my other  hand on his shoulder and He placed his on my mid back.

We looked into our eyes.

" How was the kiss, Mrs.Deora?"He asked, leaning towards me.

"Your personality changes within a fraction of seconds." I replied.

"Focus on the steps,Geetanjali!" He pulled me closer and said in his deepest voice.

Geetanjali, I never loved my name so much in my 21 years of existence. I tried not to look at him. He lifted my chin gently and brushed our foreheads.

"What?" He asked

I moved my head saying no.

"Don't worry.I will meet you soon!" Saying this. He kissed my forehead.

Why am I not feeling uncomfortable around him? Questions were going around my mind.

Will he love me the same after knowing my secret? What if he leaves me? What if I ended up breaking him into pieces which had no way to put together again  no matter how genius one tries to be?You should tell him . You can't make him suffer . I will tell you soon Dhruv. Even if I have to distance myself for your happiness, I am ready to do it. You deserve the best.

"Rainbow, ?" He asked, breaking my chain of thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I love you . Always remember that."  He hugged me.

"I love you too and I will miss you!"

I hugged him back,resting my head on his shoulder.

"I will miss you too" He said, holding my hand and placing it on his heart.
