Is love blind? .......Oh yes it is!! - Episode 11

[As they walk towards the theatre door, Sid starts thinking about his dream to watch the film with her….He never thought that it would become true so soon…he smiles at that thought and Anjali notices it but doesn’t bother to ask him the reason…..Sam and Tushar are waiting outside….]

Sid: [to anjali] wait a min Anjali…. [He pulls Sam and Tushar to a corner….]

Sam: Sid, isse kyun laaye ho?? Kya karne ka iraada hai??

Sid: Sam tum ghar jao….

Sam: What????? Why???

Tushar: are you crazy Sid? You call us to the theatre and now you are asking us to go back!!!

Sid: samjha kar yaar…..Anjali ko ticket nahi milaa….plzzz….main dono ko wapas jaane ke liye nahi keh raha….sirf ek ticket chahiye

Sam: arre yaar, fisool mein mujhe yahaan utaa laya!!! Teek hai…[in a filmy style]….tumaare liye yeh film bhi kurban!!!!Sirf tumaare liye meri dhost

Tushar: Sam, wait kar…..[turns to Sid] main bhi uske saat jaa raha hoom….bichaara akele jaana padega…..waise bhi, mujhe kabab mein haddi nahi bann na….

Sid: [thinks for a second] ok….ab jaao…..thanks dude…..hum phir isi film dekhne aayenge……mera treat!!!

Sam: [haat jhodtha hai] arre baba….humein baksh dho…..tum jaao….

Tushar: enjoy enjoy!!!! And don’t forget to tell her those 3 words today!!! [He winks at Sid….Sid smiles back]

[Both of them leave after a naughty smile at Anjali….Anjali is puzzled…..Sid comes to her and convinces and takes her inside]

[Lights inside the theatre are already switched off…..So it is pitch dark inside….There are steps too……Anjali struggles to find the way…..Sid doesn’t ask or say anything to her….He just forcefully holds her hand and slowly takes her to the seat…she is shocked but follows him obediently…After sitting, she removes her hand from his grip….]

Anjali: Sid, where are your friends going??Did you send them off to give me the ticket?? I told you that I will leave…why did you send them off?? Poor guys!!

Sid: Actually Sam wasn’t feeling well…so he wanted to leave…..Tushar went with him…..we can’t leave Sam alone, right??

Anjali: [not yet convinced but acts like that] oh….ok….

[The film starts……Sid sees that a guy comes and sits near Anjali…..he is quite disturbed about it…..He wants to move Anjali from there…..He plans to make her sit near the vacant seat…..]

Sid: Anjali, tum iss seat pe beto….

Anjali: kyun?? Yeh seat bohat convenient hai….. [Adamantly and in a childish tone] main yahi beitungi…..

[Sid stares at the guy once more and doesn’t seem convinced with his looks……That guy keeps looking at Anjali and is even trying to keep his hand over her hand which she has placed on the seat handle…..Sid is angry and stares at that guy……He stands up…..]

Sid: [Angrily] Anjali….tum utto aur yahaan beito….[pointing to his seat]

Anjali: [doesn’t want to create a scene and is embarrassed because all the people around them notice this] accha teek hai…..but you please cool down!!!

[They exchange their seats…..]

Sid: [cooling down, tries to explain to Anjali….] dekho Anjali, woh ladka teek nahi hai…..isiliye maine…. [Anjali interrupts]

Anjali: ok fine….forget it….now watch the movie….and allow me to watch it too…. [Smiles at him]

[Though Anjali shows off that she is least bothered about what happened, in her mind, she is impressed by Sid’s behavior…..she feels happy that he cares for her so much but Sid’s anger scares her big time……]

[Anjali watches the film whereas Sid secretly admires her….he smiles at the way she is immersed into the film…..]

Ek Din Kabhi Jo 
Khud Ko Taraashe
Meri Nazar Se Tu Zara
Haay Re

Aankhon Se Teri Kya Kya Chhupa Hai
Tujhko Dikhaaoon Main Zara
Haay Re
Ek Ankahi Si Daastaan Daastaan

Kehne Lagega Aaina
Subhanallah

Jo Ho Raha Hai Pehli Dafha Hai
Wallah Aisa Hua

Subhanallah

Jo Ho Raha Hai Pehli Dafha Hai
Wallah Aisa Hua

her cute smile was extremely attractive and made him smile with her too…., her beautiful beaming eyes lined with kajal looked deeper than the deepest ocean…He just wanted to get drowned in that……a small white stone studded bindi adorned the space between her neatly trimmed eyebrows…the stone glistened in the dark….all her accessories looked perfect on her…..….everything about her looked cute to him….
Meri Khaamoshi Se Baatein Chun Lena
Unki Dori Se Taarife Bhun Lena
Haan Meri Khaamoshi Se Baatein Chun Lena
Unki Dori Se Taareefe Bun Lena
Kal Nahi The Jo Aaj Lagti Hoon
Taareef Meri Hai Khaama Khaan
Tohfa Hai Tera Meri Adah
Ek Din Kabhi Jo Khud Ko Pukaare
Meri Zubaan Se Tu Zara
Haay Re

Tujh Mein Chhupi Si Jo Shayari Hai
Tujhko Sunaaoon Main Zara
Haay Re

She was constantly pushing a hanging strand of hair to the back of her ears…she looked fed up of doing it….He longed to do it for her……the smell of her lavender talc filled the air and he breathed it in…. 

At times, she turned towards him as if she felt his gaze on her……but he would turn away quickly……His looking at her was making her self conscious, she kept checking if her dress was proper and in place and a slight blush appeared making her cheeks red like strawberries!!! Atleast for him it seemed like a blush!!!! 

Ye Do Dilon Ka Vaasta Vaasta
Khul Ke Bataaya Jaaye Na
Subhanallah
Jo Ho Raha Hai Pehli Dafha Hai
Wallah Aisa Hua
Subhanallah

Jo Ho Raha Hai Pehli Dafha Hai
Wallah Aisa Hua
Subhanallah

Jo Ho Raha Hai Pehli Dafha Hai

[Sid didn’t realize the time passing by….How would he with her by his side? He could just keep looking at her all day long….. ]

[Soon it is interval time…...and Sid gets up]

Sid: What will you have??? 

Anjali: [trying to be formal] nothing….don’t bother!!

Sid: I am going anyway….. [Waits for her reply but she keeps refusing to have….he says] I will get you icecream……What flavor?? [He doesn’t wait and replies to himself] yeah I know chocolate, right??

Anjali: [mind voice: how did he know that I like chocolate ice cream….strange!!!] If you are going, get me a choco bar…..I just love it…..

Sid: [smiling] yeah I know…..I will be back in 2 mins…. [Looks around and is relieved that the other guy is not in his seat…he leaves Anjali alone and goes out…..]

***********************************
Meanwhile let’s see what is happening with Aashu and Deepak……Its interval time and Deepak is silent still…..Aashu interrupts him…She tries to be very casual with him……

Aashu: [gives him a pat on his hand] hey Deepak…are you sleeping or what?? Arre interval hogayi!!!

Deepak: [snaps out] tumne kuch kaha??

Aashu: maine kaha interval hogayi!!

Deepak: [looks around as if suddenly woken up from sleep] oh….tumme kuch chahiye???

Aashu: [sarcastic] tumaare iss dull chehra aur mood ko teek karne keliye kya loge?? 

Deepak: aisa kuch nahi hai Aashu….

Aashu: toh phir, mere pasand ko bhi tum bool gaye!! Kyun?? Hum sab hamesha theatre mein kya kaathe hai?? Mujhe wahi chahiye!!!

Deepak: sorry sorry!!! Pop corn and icecream, right??…..tum rukho….main abi laatha hoom….. 

Aashu: koyi bhi ice cream nahi…..sirf chocobar….[smiles at him]

Deepak: I know….[smiles back]

[He goes out…..]

*********************************
Scene at the ice cream counter…..

Both Sid and Deepak are at the same counter and in the same queue……It’s a close encounter but both don’t see each other……Sid gets the ice cream and passes besides him while Deepak is on a call…..

Both return to their seats……Sid gives the ice cream to Anjali…..

Sid’s POV:

Anjali was busy with the ice cream……Oblivious to her, I was admiring her….”She never took her eyes off the ice cream…she looked like a small kid”…….Uske hote pe, gaalon pe sab ice cream tha……Ice cream never looked so tempting before…..

Lights went off…… 
I wanted to wipe off the cream from her face…..I went nearer….My finger was just an inch away from her cheek…….and suddenly she turned towards me……

I guess she was shocked by my closeness…anyone would get shocked!!!…...To save the embarrassment of the situation, I pointed to her cheeks and “cream laga hua hai, wipe karo”…..I held out a tissue……

She kept her hand on her cheek and felt it…..then took the tissue from me “Oh, thanks”…..I moved away from her while she wiped it……

The 2nd half of the film starts……

Though my eyes were towards the screen……I wasn’t actually seeing the movie…..I was engrossed in her……..She placed her hand on mine unknowingly……I felt…………something…….hmmmm but she removed it away quickly realizing it!!!

At some scene, she clasped my forearm….i don’t know which one though……I think she did that thinking I was one of her friends Aashu or Sheetal…..She left it soon enough……..

I never expected that my dream would come true so soon…I was feeling enchanted by her effect…….

Film got over……but my mesmerized feeling didn’t leave me…..Anjali shook me and brought me back to my senses…..

I got up and walked towards the exit…..Anjali followed me closely…..I felt like we were a couple!!!! That feeling was heavenly and my heart was brimming with joy!!!!

Anjali: thanks for the movie Sid

Sid: don’t be so formal Anjali…..anyways it was my pleasure!!

Anjali: hmmm…..i will get going now……Bye…. 

Sid: [wanted to stop her] Anjali…ummmmm…..[after hesitating] Shall I drop you??

Anjali: [after thinking for a moment…..If she refused the lift, she would have to take an auto…so she agrees] ok…

[They move to the parking area and there is a huge crowd there…..But they manage to find Sid’s bike and they drive away…..]
