Journey of the Heart....

It was just about a few days they both had met...but this day, the moments spent in Khandala had got them close. Rudra and Abha reached their place in anticipation that either of them would call and so they could talk for some more time till they could call the day off. 

Just then her phone rang.... and it was him...she had so much to talk about the day to him... but when they started talking...silence took over...they both wanted to say so much about the day, but just couldn't. As both had to be at work early next morning, they decided to call it a day and both hung up the call to a restless night. 

Up early morning, both of them did hardly sleep that night.. and were now just waiting to speak to each other. Abha who was impatiently waiting for his call..decide to make a call her self. Beautiful conversations took place..they both wanted to say a few things to each other but just couldn't. In the end they planned to meet in the evening. Rudra asked her out for dinner...for which he had made plans when they were returning from Khandala. He knew he would not be able to tell his feelings to her so easily...all he knew was the feeling were mutual, which gave him enough courage to plan a surprise for her. Abah with the thought of meeting him was super excited. Hardly could work all day, eager for the evening plans.. 

On the other side Rudra also could not work all day and kept on planning a few things for the evening. He wanted to surprise Abha and gift her a very special evening...And the clock struck 5.30 pm ...he called her and told her that he would come and pick her up from her work place by 7 pm. She inisted on knowing where they were heading for the evening..but he just dint wana disclose. Time was just killing Abha with the suspense.. 

Rudra as punctual reached her office by 7 pm and he saw her waiting at the gate..looking radiant then ever... he saw her from far and knew she was the girl he wanted and waited all his life... he drove down close to her and got down to hug her...To Abha`s surprise he had got her most favorite flowers i.e. Lilies... she recollected that she had shared with him once how much she loved them. It was beautifully wrapped in an elegant purple floral paper... 

She freaked out with that bouquet..and kept wondering whats next. He then made her sit in the car...and started to drive out... He played in a cd which had all her favorite songs. She was so touched and kept on realizing what all she had shared with him in all these days and he did remember almost every minute things. She had no clue on how to express her feelings back to him...all she did was held his hand and said thank you for this beautiful evening..  In turn he said there is so much more to come honey..  And he could see her blush...

He had planned to take her for a drive and all but he now couldnt hold back his feelings much and so he drove down to the restaurant where he was gonna tell her all that he felt for her. The dinner was planned at a restaurant called Sidewok at Nariman point. They had this beautiful candle lit dinner table well reserved for them, which Rudra had booked well in advance. The restura is quite popular for their food, ambiance and karaoke... She was feeling at the top of the world.  As they sat down...all Rudra did was kept looking at her..and had a beautiful feeling every time he saw her blush and smile. He now knew whatever he has planned for the evening wont go waste...he knew she was the one..he could see a friend and a companion for life in her..

They in the meanwhile just ordered a few drinks and starters...and suddenly Rudra asked her to excuse him as he wanted to just head to the wash room... Rudra just wanted to be alone for a minute and re think what he was going to do...he just pulled up himself and knew that it was just perfect...he then walked out...and straight headed to the karaoke area.. Abha just kept wondering whats happening as she had no clue on whats next and wondering whats taking him so long in the washroom. 

Just then she heard a harsh voice asking for attention...and to that instant she knew it was him ...she looked around and saw him with a mic...she knew nothing of whats coming up next.. He then said... I know I don`t have a good voice to sing...but then this would be the best way to tell my Abha what I feel for her...so here it goes Abha just for you... 

Mujhe Teri aankhon ki gehrai mein doobne de

Mujhe teri baahon ki jannat mein khone de
Tere bina yeh jeewan
Jaise suna Sapna
Tere bina tujhko har pal
Dhundhee yeh dil mera

Mujhe Teri aankhon ki gehrai mein doobne de

Na Na nahi jana pyaar kya
Nahi jana hota hai yeh intezaar kya
Teri aankhon ne sab kuch kaha
Kyun na kahe teri zubaan

Mana mana mene pyaar hai
Kaisa chaya dekho mujhpe khumaar hai
Mere sang zameen aur aasmaan
Phir kyun hai khoyi meri har dishaa

Mujhe Teri aankhon ki gehrai mein doobne de

Abha had never imagined a guy would sing for her like this...but she knew this was the same she did feel for him... and so she got up and went near him...took the mic...and sang...

Woh Pehli Baar Jab Hum Mile
Haathon Mein Haath Jab Hum Chale
Ho Gaya Ye Dil Deewana 
Hota Hai Pyaar Kya Isne Jaana

He was so touched...he dint just let her complete the song..and hugged her..they were in a world of their own..and suddenly they could her claps...and realized the other guests and the waiters etc were clapping for them.. Rudra..just bent on his knees and said... Be mine forever.. And she just replied...And forever...

They then got back to the table...holding hands... looking at each other...They knew this was the evening they could never forget in their life...dinner got thru...and the beautiful evening was coming to an end...he dropped her home...and just when she got down the car...he hugged her again...and whispered ... I love you .... she did the same.. They bid goodbye and as good things come to an end...so did the day....
