Date

AUTHOR'S POV:

They all are in cafe and order their food.

As food arrived whole environment is fill with aroma of rich smell of coffee, toasted bread, buttery smell and a spicy paneer tikka Sandwith, with pavbhaji, and hot fried rice. Their faces expression is converted in joy and hunger. A chorus of "Mmm" rises up and wide smile spread as the taste lives up. The low mummer conversation lights up again. And they all continue their talk.

As Karan observes Sanjana's face his own face light up.

"Wow the food is really so delicious!" Tarun is the first one, who show interest in food.

"Mr. Tarun, I thought you are diet conscience." Rehan said, all gesture toward his body.

"Diet... vo bhi Tarun!!" Karan chuckled sarcastically.

Tarun glare at him.

Kanika said in middle of conversation: "Bhai ko diet achi nahi lagti, vo sab kaha te hai. han vo double gym kar le ge but khane par compromise nahi.

REHANA: to Karan bhai aap to bas aaj ke liye aaye hai na." She asked intentionally.

Karan clearly understands her intention.

Karan who understands the underline tease, answers her with a deadly look "No, until my post-graduation is over. Or I will join any company."

After receiving that look from her bhai she is not able to ask further question. Rehan understood the situation and changed the topic

"Hey. He knows Yug Jaiswal has been to Hawaii!"

" Achcha. Then when will he give the semester?" Sanajan shound so consern.

"aree Yug kuch bhi kar sakta hai." Trisha repiled with pride grin. They laugh softly.

Meanwhile Karan, Tarun and Kanika exchanging their gaze.

"kon Hai Yug!!" Kanika asked.

"Yug Jaiswal. Our college's playboy." Rehana answered and Trisha and Sanjana giggle.

"Mr. Dheeraj Jaiswal ka beta!" Tarun tries to confirm.

"yes!!" Trisha replied.

"Oh.." Tarun sigh. "That useless son of Jaiswal." Tarun voice is laced with mock. Everyone's expression changed. Tarun has the personality to dominate, and being at the same age to Yug, he feels, no not just he, all the corporate world knows that Yug Jaiswal is the spoiled brat of rich father.

"kisne kaha, Yug nature se accha ladka hai!" Sanajan defend him.

"He's a good boy!! bas uske playboy vale character ki vajah se uski image kharab hai. Aur vo koi aesa vesa ladka nahi hai." Trisha intervenes.

"So, you like playboys!" Tarun growl.

"Nah, but Yug is not like that."

"What Exactly you mean by 'that'" his voice is flat, controlled.

"Mean he never ever force any girl, nor he initiate the relation. Also, he never being in serious relation. Also he made only Fake Girlfriends"

"Ye kesa ladka hai jo FAKE GIRLFRIENDS banta hai!" Kanika asked.

TRISHA: Aree yaar ab me samjhati hu, tum log aese to confuse ho jaoge: listen"

She just started talking about Yug, but she is interrupted by Tarun.

"tumhe kaffi pata hai usske baare me." Tarun voice is sting with rudeness.

The hint of jealousy is clearly visible in his voice. Which is notice by Kanika, Rehan, Karan.

"Of course I'm his best friend, he tells me everything."

Tarun just say "ohh" to her!

"aree suno ab, kya hai ki Yug is dashing, handsome, sweet and..." she was intruped by Tarun.

"uski tareef karo gi ya, bato gi vo kesa hai!"

"tum mujhe bolne do ge ki nahi.....now no one will stop me." He get all irritate. "So Yug, it's a playboy but it's not like he will do anything with anyone, he says he's reserved for someone, he's never looked at any wood with that look, nor did he ever let anyone cross the limit. So basically,

"Ohh." Kanika said softly.

*******

AT home

Trisha is busy in her project work, and her mom is arranging her Almira, where her mother saw that photo.

ANAMIKA JI: beta ye photo abhi bhi hai tere pass!

TRISHA, Still in her project say without looking at her mom "konsa photo mummy!"

"ye wala jo tujhe road par milla tha"

After hearing her words her fingers suddenly stop on laptop, and she ran towards her mother and snatch that photo.

"Please mom this photo is not going anywhere, okay.."

"hun...why!! do you even Rember who is this boy or what is his name, Acha leave, do you even Rember is he alive or not!!!!"

"Mummy, stopp." She shouted.

"mujh par kyu chilla rahi hai. pata nahi kab dimmag aye ga iss ladki me, nahi arrange kar rahi me teri Almira kar le na" She said angrily and left the room.

Trisha's Pov:

I don't know why, but I shouted on her, .... But she shouldn't have said that either.

I never listen anything bad about this boy, yes this is true I don't know his name, nor i know where he lives. But i know that...he is alive. YESSS HE IS ALIVE AND HE NOT JUST GOOD LUCK FOR ME HE MORE THAN THAT.....

A tear rolls down from my eyes. I am very sad today. And i want to meet him, please God help me to meet him. Just for once, it's always like he is near to me but never show his face ever, and after seeing Tarun's eyes I feel like they are same, but how, how can be it same. I was sitting on bed, and this photo is on my hands which is resting on my lap. Where are you, okay don't tell me this just tell me who are you are you for me. Okay, now stop Trisha stop crying over, fictional things, this is totally delusional. I wipe my tears and again engage with my project, But it is said that the more you try to pay attention to something, the more you miss it.

KARAN POV:

Why again "YUG". If I get him, I will kill this man. Itna kya acha hai uske baare me jo sanjana itna khush ho gai thi. And this girl ohh no no "my girl" Is not paying attention to me. What to do for her so that she pays attention and love to me. Okay let's plan a date for her, but first I need to talk Rehana for her current emotion, because of her mood swings...huhhh(sigh)

Ringing........

REHANA: han bhai kya hai...(she said in her irritating voice)

ab isse kya ho gaya isske andar atma to nahi aagaii meri vali ki..

KARAN: sun koi agar zinda ho, to kya uski atam kissi ke andar ja sakti hai kya?" I asked causally.

REHANA: Seriously bhai, aap ne ye puchne ke liye call kiya tha!!!

"No"

"to kiss liye kiya tha"

"nahi vo kya hai ki muje laga ki tere andar "meri vali" ki atma aa gai, kyuki tu ussi tarah irritate ho gai"

" vo iss liye kyuki aap ne mera passionate kiss disturb kar diya" She have no shame.

"Rehana, stop being with Sanajan you are forgetting your shame." I scold her like elder brother.

REHANA: ab bole ge kyu kiya hai phone!

KARAN: How is Sanajan's mood?

REHANA: muje kese pata hoga, mai nahi hun usske sath!" irritation is clearly visible in her voice

KARAN: pataa hai issiliye usse call kar aur puch, kesa mood hai usska, kyuki mene uske liye date arrange kari hai.

REHANA: to aap khud usse call karke puch lo, aur ab call nahi karna, nahi to aapki date ke beech me aa jaungoi samjhe" she scolded mee!! wow...

call ended......

Did she scold me!! ahh... ab usse call kese karu vo to zinda khaa jayegi!!

Idea.

Dominance. Only key to impress girls.

ringing.......

"Han kya hai, bolo!" her sweet melodies voice came.

what a girl, no hi, hello direct "bolo"......but hmm I love her tantrums!!!

"Hello kesi ho!"

"ye puchne ke liye to call nahi kiya tumne!"

How. How, I mean how she knows me that much. She is my life I love you Sanjana

Han vo... vo... (What the hell I am stammering...) "I want to ask you something"

"Ask"

"Are you busy?"

"no"

"oh are you freee?"

"When I say I am not busy then it means i am not busy. In short I am free!"

"Ohm yeeha it means you are free," I clear my throat, "okay then get ready we are going on date" this time my voice is authoritative

"But I don't wanna go!"

"That is why I am not asking! Get ready in half hour I will pick you up from your house! bye."

I don't leave any space for further arguments. and ended the call. I know how to handle her...

Okay let see what to wear.

SANJANA POV:

Okay so today is most beautiful day. Karan is changing for meeeee!!!! Yes of course, I don't like that he is changing for me aese bhi vo pyaar hi kesa jisme aap apna astitava hi kho de. [What kind of love is that in which you lose your existence?]

But still he trying to convene mee>>>>ohh I am super-duper happy...so i should also do something for him also, so I should tell Dadi to call him for dinner tonight and tell dadi to make KADHI CHAVL his favorite dish. I am sure that he missed KADI CHAVAL in army.

I am in my book when my phone buzzed, I hate when someone disturb me, when i am reading book..... as I look the caller it's HIM......okay don't act like a teenager, just like you got your crush's call, it's him already yours's girl.... calm down

I just simply talking like I am angry, but this man is dam special. He still has that power to make me shiver down. He just orders me like he always did in past. Hayee me maar javan, usne muje date par invite kiya hai . But wait what is he planning, me aeese nahi manugi Karan, [ this young man, he has invited me on a date. But wait what is this plan, I will not accept this,]

Acha ab what to wear vo half an hour me aa jayega. Should i wear Indian or western or something like Korean......I am so confused, should i call dadi. Yessss " DADIIII" I called out her.

DADI: kya hai kon mar gaya jo aese chilla rahi !!

"koi nahi mara meri maa, ye bato me kya pehnu...."
[no one died my mom now tell me what I should wear]

"phen to rakha hai"

"nahi me Karan ke sath dinner par ja rahi hun"
[No, I'm going to dinner with Karan."]

"Ohhh you mean date!!!!"

Uff my grandma and her Chessy smile, I am blushing harder.

"han han aesa hi kuch " I try to sound casual.

"OK wear something that he likes the most."

"vahi to kya dadi."

"Hey, remember how he was watching you when you first wore sari at Diwali."

"han saree me......han dadi saree yes Of Course, I am going to wear that only."

"Ok now get ready" and she let the room.

I wear simple yet elegant color forest green. Ohh yes, I have a good collection of Indian as well as other than Indian wears. So, I chose this color for tonight.

I made a bun of my hair so that it looks classier with him. I should maintain his reputation. And yeeha not forget bindi it is essential.

horn......

Not for my surprise he is on time... MR. Karan Grover is always on time, I slip into my heels. and went to downstairs. He is looking..... hottttt....Hayee me kese sambha lun apnne aap ko.... he is wearing black blazer and crisp white Cotten shirt with black pant. He is stunning, that's MY MAN.

HE is looking directly into my eyes. And I can feel heat on my cheeks. Yes, I am blushing as always whenever he made an eye contact. He is looking at me, and his expression is so cute; his jaw drops open; it made my heart flutter....

"are wha dono kitne achhe lag rahe hoo!! thu thu... nazar na lage mere dono bacho ko.." when Dadi spoke, his trance broke and he is looking here and there, to gain his cold composure again.

KARAN POV:

As I mention I will be there in an hour. And I am standing at her entrance gate. and my mind mock me: han han kar le apne aap ko prepare!!

Yes, Karan do it she is all yours....and with that I enter inside the home, they changed their house after that accident. Now, they are living in apartment, she and her Dadi. The interior is too good, there is big sofa set, and at the left corner there is dining area. A staircase from the side of the kitchen. My eye stuck to a large photo frame, it's her mom dad and her sister. Without wasting any more time, I went there, I bow my head. And suddenly my eyes become moist. I felt someone presence, that is Dadi. I went there touch her feet. and she gave me blessings. We talk about my parents and all when she is descending from staire......

Uffff my heart skips a beat... she is divine...... She is breathtaking, the soft fabric of saree hugged her curves just perfect. The saree's rich green color highlighted her flawless. It's like a dream and I never wanted to wake from. As she moved, every little gesture- the tuck of her hair behind her ear, the shy smile that played on her lips- made me fall for her all over again. For me she is not just beautiful, she is my whole world. When Dadi spoke at that time my trance brake. I was looking here and there to not feel her uncomfortable at this moment, but as more I resist myself to look, the more I wanted to her.

And now she is standing right front of me. My heart rate is not regular, they became roller-coaster.

"Chale"

"huh...han c..chale.." Not again.

As we leave for the venue my eyes keep going to her again and again. She has become more beautiful than before.

AUTHOR'S POV:

This is the most famous restaurant of Delhi city, "Lover's Point"

[note: name of the restaurant is imaginary]

It is a roof top restaurant and there in the quiet corner of the roof, one table is setup for them, however whole restaurant is booked by Karan. But still he chooses a corner table so that the view of the city is visible, he knew that Sanjana loves to watch that kind of view. There is round table with yellow lighting there is candle on the table. Soft guitar and Villone are playing a romantic music. The music filles the emptiness of the roof.

Sanaja's eyes widened in awe, she is noticing every detail, from the scattered rose petals to the spoke of love, her heart swelling with joy and love, she wants to cover that joy and love, but she is no Karan Grover who can cover his emotion. Her eyes shimmering with happy tears. She felt deeply cherished.

Karan is absorbing every detail of her expression his heart swell with love and care towards Sanjana. He silently vows to fulfill her dream and make her happy like this every day.

When Sajana going to pull her chair, he interrupted her by clearing his throat. And when Sanjana turns there is huge princess type Flower Buquet in his hand. There is a beautiful smile on his face, and he is directly looking in her eyes. Her eyes are fill with happy tears and she blink those tears, not ruined the movement. She accepts the Buquet with a warm smile. The bouquet has all red roses, and a heart shape is made from all white roses which symbolize that he is sorry for his past behaviors and also represent a peaceful life ahead. Then he pulled chair for her. No one is talking to each other, on other hand Sanjana is still in her thought of joy, and he is taking detail of her eyes, her lips, her every moment. After a while their dinner is served, staring with the fresh Russian salad, with cheesy grilled sandwiches and her Favorite PAAV BHAJI, with tava pualav.

Her eyes widened after seeing all this food.

"Do you like it!" He asked cautiously.

"Yes, I do." she replied softly.

At this movement she forgets her anger towards him.

"I am sorry, My Lady." He whispers. Guilt and pain. His voice is so small.

And Sanjanaa's smile gone, her mind replaying that accident day clip, her heartbeat is getting faster and faster....... at that time surrounding environment is blank for her.

He put his hand on her hand and say...'" Sanaja look at me.... please look at me Sajana. Look I am here with you huh....Shuhh relax okay we are not goanna talk about past let's.... eat. Sanjana. shhh breath, breath, don't let you fears overwhelm you, Sanjana."

His words work like a balm for Sanjana. Her breath came normal, her eyes are still red with fear, and pain. But something in her heart melt. Slowly she closed her eyes, feel the presence of her Love, that always she yearns, now finally getting.

"Aesa mat sochna mene tumhe maaf kar diya Karan!!!" she said with a cute angry pout.

"areee bilkul nahi sochunga," he grins at her words, because somewhere in his heart knows that he will make her. "never tum jab tum chaho maf karo par abhi iss moment ko enjoy kare pleaseeeee"

Sanjana let herself loose, and chuckle at his behavior. And like that their night went. After lunch Karan drop her at her home and then return to his home!!
