It had been a month now since Suhana and Karan were in a relationship. As Preeta had faced trauma after Dev's death, she was getting counseling sessions which were suggested by Rishab who was the best among all her best friends. She was a lot better than before. She had started to be herself again. She was sitting in the garden enjoying fresh air, it was night and now she loved nights more than days because that's when Rishab was with her daily, and she was beginning to like him and his company, slowly she was falling in love again but hadn't realized yet, but she did instantly light up when he was around. Her thoughts were interrupted by the creaking voice of the door, she looked up and saw him entering. A smile formed on her lips. She stood up and walked towards him without realizing. He looked at her sensing her presence.

R: hi Preeta

Pr: hi, itnay formal ho kar kiun mil rahay ho? Jaise aaj first time mil rahay ho? Friends bas aisay munh se hi bol detay hain kya, ya phir...

She forwarded her hand for a handshake. He looked at her hand and then at her, he smiled and shook his hand with hers.

Pr: ye hui na baat

Without any realization, they shared an eye lock and she was too lost to also realize that he was pulling his hand back but she had a strong grip on him.

Chand chupa baadal mein
Sharma ke meri jaana

He was blushing hard seeing her eyes not getting off him.

Chand chupa baadal mein
Sharma ke meri jaana..
Seene se lag ja tu
Balkha ke meri jaana

He tried once again to pull his hand back and in an effort to do so, he pulled her close, she banged in his rock hard chest with her hand still gripping on his, she gasped and looked deeply in his eyes.

Gumsum sa hai, gupchup sa hai
Madhosh hai, khaamosh hai
Yeh sama haan yeh sama kuchh aur hai

He held his ear, she widened her eyes and tilted her head and slowly hit her fingers on his temple,he chuckled.

O ho ho chand chupa baadal mein
Sharma ke meri jaana
Seene se lag ja tu
Balkha ke meri jaana

They had a laugh, she left his hand and began to move away but saw her bracelet stuck in his blazer button, she tried to get it off but in vain. He helped her and then she moved away.

Nazdeekiyan badh jaane de
Arre nahi baba nahi abhi nahi nahi

She smiled looking down tucking her fringe behind her ear, he smiled seeing her smile.

Yeh dooriyan mit jaane de
Arre nahi baba nahi abhi nahi nahi

She lifted her eyelids and looked at him to find him already looking at her and she began to walk away, he followed her.

Door se hi tum jee bhar ke dekho
Tum hi kaho kaise door se dekhoon

Her ankle twisted, she gasped but he held her in the nick of time and they shared another eyelock.

Chand ko jaise dekhta chakor hai

He straightened her and they walked together.

Aye.. gumsum sa hai, gupchup sa hai
Madhosh hai, khaamosh hai
Yeh sama haan yeh sama kuchh aur hai

They sat together on the bench and didn't speak for some moments.

O ho ho chand chupa baadal mein
Sharma ke jaan-e-jaana
Seene se lag ja tu
Balkha ke meri jaana

R: kaisi ho ab Preeta jee?

Preeta sighed.

Pr: yaar kya is ek month mein phir se jee jee karna shuru kar diya Rishab jee? Kya formality kar rahay ho? Aray hum dost hain, dosto'n mein kya jee jee?

He chuckled.

R: sorry jee

Pr: phir se jee?

R: achha jee, ab nahi karoon ga jee

Pr: ugghhhh

She got into a cat fight with him while he was laughing the whole time.

R: aray bubba sorry, tease kar raha tha sirf, ruko yaar Preeta, tumhare naakhun hain ya keelein? Chubhana band karo

Preeta moved closer to him on the bench while fighting.

Pr: achha jee? Lag raha hai jee? Chubh raha hai jee?

R: dekho yaar mujhe larkiyo'n se fight karna nahi pasand

She took back her hands and sat looking away crossing her arms.

Pr: aagay jee bhi laga do

R: mujhe larkiyo'n se fight karna nahi pasand jee

She turned to him and he stood up and she also stood up angrily.

Pr: tumhe main nahi chhorun gi

She ran after him and he ran away laughingly.

Pr: tumhe bol wol k bari hassi aa rahi hai? Idiot

While running, by mistake her feet got stuck in the water pipe which broke while freeing her feet and water splashed on both of them, he turned and then walked to her and bent his knees encircling his arms around her and picked her getting her out of the trap placing her feet on the floor. She corrected her dupatta. He looked at the broken pipe and then at her.

R: you okay?

Pr: main okay he houn gi na jee

He chuckled.

R: ab bas bhi karo ye jee jee

Pr: shuru kis ne kiya? Jee

He crossed his arms and couldn't stop laughing at her comment, she looked down and she also couldn't control her laughter.

Pr: God, we fight like kids

R: achha jee?

She stepped closer to him and held his collars.

Pr: ab agar aap aur jee kaha na toh...

R: toh kya jee?

She chuckled.

Pr: bohat tang karne lagay ho haan, sach mein

She moved away from him.

R: kiun ke har ek friend kameena hota hai

Pr: hmm, woh toh hai, mere saare dost kameenay hain

R: really?

Pr: haan, siwaye tumhare

R: oh, means tumhe main sab se ziada pasand hoon apnay dosto'n mein se?

Pr: nahi

R: haan

Pr: nahi

R: haan

Pr: nahi

R: nahi

Pr: haan

R: phas gayi sonchiriya, bol he diya aakhir haan

Preeta blushed without realizing and smiled looking down.

R: hassi toh phasi

Pr: tum bhi na

They laughed a little, he was happy to see her getting back to her old self again.
