Thank you all for the love and support for the story. I feel really happy reading all your comments. And sorry that the mistake that I wrote chapter 5 instead of 1.
The next morning KN dropped Suraj and Bhuvan dropped Imli at the college and went to the office. Both went to their respective classes as the bell rang. After a lecture Suraj went to the basketball court and Imli to the cooking class. They had it here in college only. Suraj came to the basketball court as he didn’t had any lectures to attend and basketball being one of his favorite sport. He saw a small crowd students mostly boys had gathered around the St. Teresa’s or can be said St. T’s basketball court. Girls sports trial was going on there. The coach came to the center of the court with a ball in his hand and a whistle in his mouth. As he whistled the girls sprang into action.
There he saw her for the first time. Her long neck long arms and long legs held every guy’s attention. She wore a black fitted shorts and a sleeveless sports vest with ‘C’ printed with pink at the back. She wore a ankle length Nike sneakers and her expensive diamond earrings twinkled in the die sun. She dribbled the ball with her right hand.
“Ten points for look’s coach” a senior student called out as C passed the ball. The crowd tittered. A wisecrack distracted C for a moment but she resumed her game as if she was used to such comments.
C dribbled the ball and reached the opposition’s basket. Three opponents surrounded her and she passed the ball to her teammate. But she missed the pass.
C- What the….
C screamed. The rival team took the ball and scored a basket. C cursed herself under breath. C called her teammates and discussed something with them. And than they took their places. When she went past him he saw her sweaty, flushed face from close. Her face was grimy, dust sticking to her left cheek and forehead. Yet, it was one of the most beautiful faces he had seen in his entire life. He would just say that he had fallen in love with her.
Suraj- *come-on Suraj you have to talk to this girl at least once in your life*
C passed the ball to her teammate, who again missed scoring a basket.
C- What are you guys doing?
C shouted in her perfect English accent. After sometime the game was over with the score 21-15. C’s team won. But she somehow seemed disappointed. She wiped her face with a towel and picked up her Pink Nike kitbag. A few boys tried to make eye contact with her but she ignored them. After the girls trial was over it was boys chance. Suraj was also selected as one of the players. The coach whistled and the boys gathered. The match started. C was standing there watching the game. Suraj was the best player amongst all. She was quite impressed with his game.
The game needed and with the score 28-25. Suraj’s team won. Suraj was talking with the coach when C came near them. But passed from there even without giving him a glance. The lecture bell rang and Suraj went to his music class. A selection was going on for the most famous band of the college. ROCKERS. They needed a new male singer for their group as the old one left for some reason.
Music is Suraj’s passion. He always wanted to join a leading band and so now how can he leave this chance. He gave his name and was waiting for his turn to come when he saw her coming and going inside the jam room. It was his turn now and he went inside. C gave a big smile as she saw him. He took the guitar in his hand and was about to start when he saw her gesturing him with a thumbs up All The Best. He just blinked his eyes once assuring her and even himself that he will pass. And he started singing looking at her.
Chehre mein tere
Khud ko main dhoondhun
Aankhon ke darmiyaan
Tu ab hai iss tarah
Khwabon ko bhi jagah na mile
Yeh mausam ki baarish
Yeh baarish ka paani
Yeh paani ki boondein
Tujhe hi toh dhoondhe
Yeh milne ki khwahish
Yeh khwahish puraani
Ho poori tujhi se
Meri yeh kahaani
Both were lost in each other. He continued singing.
Kabhi tujhme utrun
Toh saanson se guzrun
Toh aaye dil ko raahat
Main hoon bethikana
Paana mujhko paana
Hai tujhme de ijazat
Na koi darmiyaan
Hum dono hai yahan
Phir kyun hai tu bata
Faasley…
Yeh mausam ki baarish
Yeh baarish ka paani
Yeh paani ki boondein
Tujhe hi toh dhoondhe
Yeh milne ki khwahish
Yeh khwahish puraani
Ho poori tujhi se
Meri yeh kahaani
Na na… la la..
Hawaoon se tera pata poochta hoon
Ab toh aaja tu kahin se
Parindon ki tarah yeh dil hai safar mein
Tu mila de zindagi se
Bas itni ilteja
Tu aake ik dafa
Jo dil ne na kaha
Jaan le…
Yeh mausam ki baarish
Yeh baarish ka paani
Yeh paani ki boondein
Tujhe hi toh dhoondhe
Yeh milne ki khwahish
Yeh khwahish purani
Ho poori tujhi se
Meri yeh kahaani
He finished singing. Everyone started clapping and praising him. He was selected as their group member. C went to him.
C- congrats
Suraj- thanks
C- you sing very well and even play amazing
Suraj- thanks even you play well btw can I know your good name
C- good or bad only one name Chakor
She said and smiled. He loved her name. Or maybe when you start liking people, you start liking everything about them.
Chakor- your name
Suraj- Suraj. Suraj Rajvanshi
Chakor- where you from
Suraj- U.P and you
Chakor- from Mumbai itself
She got call and picked up.
Chakor- I’ve got to go. Bye
She extended her hand.
Chakor- Nice meeting you. Bye
Suraj- Bye
And she went from there. Suraj was very happy. He also went home smiling like a maniac. Thinking about her.
