DEV:umm(thinking) ok fine
both dev and sona go on sit on the table for having their dinner.
(riya and karan acted as if they have gone but they were actually waiting there at a certain distance to see whether devakshi goes back or not…by seeing devakshk sitting on the dinner table they give each other a hifi?)

SONA:ya this music its so pleasant..loved it.
DEV:do you like listening to music?
SONA:not often but when i am tired or so just to free myself from stress.
KARAN(watching from his hiding place)uff..they don’t know anything..a romantic music is playing why don’t they get up for a dance.
RIYA:exactly.
KARAN:wait i will do something.(makes a call)
DEVAKSHI’S TABLE

DEV:absolutely we are.
MANAGER:mam sir why don’t you get up for a dance ?
SONA(looking at dev)no we are fine here.
MANAGER:please mam..
DEV:ok..sonakshi (making a face like come or else he wont leave “)
SONA:if you say so.
Both head for the dance..sonakshi keeps her left hand on dev’s left shoulder and right hand in dev’s right hand while dev keeps his left hand on sonakshi’s waist. They start dancing.
DEV:i am sure this was a plan of Karan.
SONA:i will not spare this riya(both of them keep smiling inspite of being angry as the hotel manager was still there )
SONA:when will he go from here(while dancing their conversation is going on)
DEV:god knows!
They change their style again now both sona’s hands are on dev’s both the shoulder wheras dev’s both the hands are on sona ‘s waist.
till know both of them were not having a eye contact either they were looking down or somewhere else..but now somehow both their eyes have met and they are sharing an eyelock, both of them have stopped speaking and are just dancing by looking into each other’s eyes,both seems lost in each other’s eyes.
After about 15min the songs ends and they come back to their senses.
S
WAITER:sir mam your order have been placed.
DEV:ok thank you.
both of them sit for having their starters.
Sonakshi eyes dev secretly two or three times while taking her soup…
SONA P.O.V.:what was that sona,you were lost while dancing..how could it be,it never happened with me then why this time….why i am feeling something different,why i am smiling this much(noticing that she is smiling) why is this happening to me and what is it happening to me?
While dev too secretly eyes Sonakshi…
DEV P.O.V.:i have danced with many girls in parties and functions but never had i this weird kind of feeling..why am i so restless…
Both are confused in themselves by their own questions…so they just silently have their dinner (that is even their main course)and finally they order for a dessert..both of them order for vanilla ice cream with brownie.
SONA:(breaking the silence)you know what dev i just live this dessert..it has been my favourite since my childhood.
DEV:oh that’s great..but i love my ma’s beasn ka halwa..its my favourite sweet dish.
SONA:besan ka halwa ,i have never tasted it.
DEV:what you have not…its yummy and my ma makes the best besan ka halwa…i am sure after eating that you will forget your ice cream and brownie.
SONA:oh is it! Then i would love to taste it(both of them smile)
ttheir dessert comes and they have it.
SONA:ok so lets go back to our rooms.
DEV:ya(both of them walk back towards their room)
SONA:it was not that bad as we thought it would be.
DEV:ya the food was yummy.
SONA:hmmm(reaching her room) at least we did not fight.
DEV:ya hope we keep it up…sonakshi one more thing sorry
SONA:sorry but for what.
DEV:for that high volume..i am extremely sorry,i should have thought about you.
SONA:its ok dev…good night
DEV:good night.
Both of them go in their respective rooms and change into their night dress.
SONA’S ROOM
Sona has changed and is lying on the bed
SONA(talking to herself)why am i remembering dev ‘s words again and again …(she was remembering dev saying sorry then dev talking about his ma’s besan ka halwa…)stop it sona(commanding herself)sleep now or else you wont wake up tomorrow.
sona tries her best to sleep but always dev’s face or words comes in her mind and she gets disturbed.
