Chapter 24 - Silly confession and discussion

"Wow! you guys are perfect together" entering in Vihaan's room, scanning Vihaan and Shana's position, Vansh wickedly complimented them.

"Excuse me?" baffled, both Vihaan and Shana asked in unison.

"I meant to say you guys look good acting like the civilized persons" twisting his words to save himself, Vansh winked at Shana, as if, they had shared a secret.

Ignoring the hidden meaning in Vansh's statement, Shana stood up and went toward Vansh who had taken a seat on the sofa placed opposite Vihaan.

"Where is Saar?" ignoring their bonding, turning his face toward Vansh, Vihaan enquired.

It took less than a second for Shana to turn her head toward Vansh on hearing Saar's name, her body experiencing the sudden shock, her face masked with confusion and hurt.

Looking at her before answering, Vansh spoke" Saaransh bro is on a call, he said he would be here in five minutes" implying, secretly, she needs not to worry.

Shana closed her eyes for a second in a relief gesture and smiled weakly at Vansh, ȧssuring him she was well.

Sitting opposite to them with hawk's eyes, Vihaan was aware of the hot topic. He had addressed Saransh as "Saar" on purpose and, saw his mission getting accomplished without any resistances.

Looking at them whispering to each other, he looks at his watch.

Clearing his throat, gaining the attention of the "in their own world" audience, Vihaan directed his words toward Vansh" More than five minutes have passed. Why is not he coming?"

Taking out the phone from his pocket, Vansh dialled a number and spoke after two-three seconds" His phone is busy".

Within a second Vansh's phone screen showed Saaransh name and he picked the phone immediately" Hey bro, Where are you? Everyone is waiting."

Listening to the other side, Vansh cut the call and answered impatient Vihaan" He is unsure when he will be free. Something important has caught him up, so, he has asked us to start planning, he will join us in-between".

Knowing the importance of work, Vihaan did not comment and picking up his phone, look towards them and said: "Let's start".

......................................................

Trying to be fine in the gloomy atmosphere, which would have been happy for others with romantic a song in the background, Shana looked, here and there, her mind away from all the discussions.

"Where the hell are you?" irritated by her lack of response, Vihaan asked finally.

As if the electric fell on her, Shana returned to the real world and gave the excuse" I am here only".

"Really! I have asked you three times the same thing, but I got no response. I know you are here only, but physically not mentally".

Biting her lips, adjusting her hair, Shana looked at Vansh, who seemed a little bit confused, and spoke:" I am sorry, but can you please stop the song? It's stressing me out".

"Excuse me!" shock evident on his face, Vihaan tried to understand the meaning behind her statement, but it was over his head. Looking at Vansh for the help, he spoke sarcastically" Music helps people in relieving their stress, and you are saying it's giving you a headache!?"

Not giving any justification, she did not pressure the topic further and tried not to get affected by the song. Once, it was her favourite song. Paying little attention to the lyrics of the song, Shana engages herself.

Not understanding her acts, Vihaan looked at Vansh who gave him a tight smile, keeping the secret to himself.

Vihaan thought of not giving any much heeds to it and started enjoying the song. After all, it was his favourite.

" It is said that

God, for everyone on Earth,

Everyone

Meeting you might be the sign of God

That I am made for someone like you

There must have been some connection with you

There must have been some connection with you

How would I know? I don't know

There must have been some connection with you

You are my Life partner, what to worry then!?

This is the reason for both my life and death

It's said that.......

While going I did an obligation to me

The passing time filled my foothill

I got your view, I got Illuminating Star

Boats of destiny got their shore

Have pitied for centuries for this kind of life

In your rarity, I have prayers for you

This is a sign of God that I met you

As if I was made for someone like you

There must have been some connection with you

How would I know? I don't know

There must have been some connection with you

What to worry about when you are my life partner.

This is the reason for both my life and death

It's said that..........."

For the five minutes, only Shana knew how she survived.

Entire-time, she felt her heart tearing from inside, screaming for the song to be stopped and, her mind pleading her, to listen to her heart, if she wishes, to live.

Wiping the tears secretly with her index finger, fighting with the depression that was overcoming her, Shana swallowed the tears back and spoke, breaking the wall outside her" Can you please change it?".

Vihaan felt his heart being stabbed with a knife when he heard the pleading tone of her voice and, before he could do anything, he saw Vansh stopping the music and looking at Shanaya concerned.

"Thank you" murmuring a soft thank you, she smiled at Vansh, ȧssuring him she was fine and chirped as if nothing happened" Can you play something else?"

"Else as in?" controlling her frustration with her, Vihaan asked politely. He was getting irritated by her for stopping the songs and then not giving any justification.

Reminding himself, they had started acting like a civilized person some time ago, Vihaan, thought not to screw all that efforts.

"Oh, wait! It's 11:30 in the night, "Love messenger" must be coming on the FM" tapping on her phone, Shana beamed when she heard a male voice.

" Welcome back, guys. It's 11:35 and I Rahul, your favourite RJ is once again back with you all. So, today on "Love messenger" we are playing a love game in which anyone can ask us anything, confess anything, can clear out his/her doubts and we will provide you with the best answer we could. For asking your questions, pick up your phone and dial 1110001100, I repeat 1110001100. So what are you waiting for guys??"

"You like listening to all this?" with his arched brows and face displaying the frustration, Vihaan enquired.

Looking at him, Shana replied" I do not listen to it regularly, but it's good, for passing the time. Sometimes, they get good confessions from the youths and, even they give, good advices when someone shares his/her love problems."

"Really! it seems you have some experience when it comes to love" emphasising on "Love", waiting for her response while noticing the change in the colour of her natural to red cheeks, her fingers forming a fist, Vihaan kept on looking at her, intimidating her with his gaze, trying to seek out the secret she was trying to hide.

Changing the direction of the discussion, Vansh teased Shana" You are such a liar, beautifool. Admit it you listen to this show because of the voice of the RJ. What was his name, again?"

Blushing a little, Shana avoided looking at Vihaan, and spoke: "His name is Rahul."

"Should I start calling him Rahul jiju(brother in law)" teasing her, Vansh winked at her.

"Shut up! I just like his voice. He sounds so sėxy and have you ever heard his voice in the morning!" keeping her right palm on her heart, closing her eyes as if experiencing the heaven, she continued" he sounds like a melody. The huskiness in his voice makes my heart, and body tingled with excitement and, I wish I could someday meet him."

Before Vansh could react more than a chuckle, his phone beep, informing of the incoming call.

Looking at the caller name, Vansh excused himself, but, not before, adding to the discussion" Don't repeat the history, girl. Boys with the hot body are not to be trusted, they will use your body and, will play with your heart" and, completed his statement with a smirk "ofcourse, except me."

Till the distance Vansh could hear, Shana kept on cursing him, not having the slightest idea of Vihaan's attention toward her. Her attention shifted to the sėxy but devil creature when she heard him clearing his throat.

"Sorry" apologizing shyly, Shana adjust herself on the sofa.

Making him appear busy, Vihaan scrolled his phone and with his eyes on it, asked" You get attracted to a man because of his voice" and lifted his eyes to look directly in Shana's eyes with a gaze that held a secret.

The thumping of Shana's heart overpowered the tickling of the clock with their gaze fixed on each other.

Resistingly, Shana withdrew her gaze and looked away from him in her left direction. Taking a long breath, she turned her head again in Vihaan's side.

Her eyes observe the man sitting in front of her with long toned legs, chiselled body, muscular arms, perfect jawline, inviting red lips and, silky black hair.

She did not hesitate when her eyes met his lotus shaped black eyes who could drown anyone in them. Not avoiding his gaze, she opened her mouth to speak " I get attracted to the man who is tall, has beautiful eyes, has the voice that can melt my heart" shifting her eyes to his hair, she continued" and has honey-coloured hair."
