~Vedant's POV~
Then my eyes went to the right corner of the garden where sat Shreya deeply engrossed in her work on her tab. She looked a bit stressed but replied calmly whenever anyone asked her about something. I don't know how she keeps herself composed. I can't reply this lightly if someone disturbs me again and again while doing my work. But I was not able to understand one thing. Shrida told me she's a doctor and Myra too. While Myra is enjoying, why is she working when on leave? I could not handle the curiosity. I took my laptop and went to her.
~Shreya's POV~
I was replying to a mail when I saw Vedant coming and sitting beside me. I didn't say anything and continued working. "Are you doing hospital work in your leave also?" He asked. "And that too on tab? As far my knowledge, you are MBBS right?"
"Yeah but I am not doing hospital work."
"Then?"
I hate this when someone asks me questions when I am in no mood to answer. Just as much as I hated vivas. "I was just replying to some random emails. That's it. Not related to hospital." I still replied with a smile and shrugged.
"Oh" He exclaimed and started working. He was making some presentation I guess in powerpoint.
"By the way you can stop staring at me and continue with your work. Or am I distracting you? I should leave probably." He said while running his fingers on the keyboard. I realized I had been gawking at him all this while and immediately turned my face and started working. "No it's fine. You can sit here." I said awkwardly hiding my face. He looked at me and shook his head curling his lips.
Wait, what does that mean? Was I too much this time? Shrey yaar stop staring at him every time. Time or soon he is going to ask me the reason for sure. Then what will I tell him? I don't know the reason myself. Whenever he comes near me, I just start feeling nervous and still could not move my eyes away from his face. You are done girl.
Amidst all this, I remembered the dog incident from today's morning. I instantly said "Leave all this. What were you doing in the morning? Huh? Walking towards me with the dog? Not using someone's weakness against them is also basic manner by the way."
"Oh please I did not hijack your territory using that dog. Stop with the manner lessons already." He replied in a frustrated manner.
"Yeah fine, wait until I find your weakness. Then I will tell you." I said and got up in anger. As I started walking off, he held hand and pulled me back to sit again. "Accha thik hai sorry na bus? Now do your work silently and let me do mine." He said and started working whereas I was completely awestruck at his action. The strings in my brain entangled and untangled simultaneously. My voice got struck in my throat and I realized I was again staring at him, I took my tab in my hands and continued working before he could again tell me to stop.
(Okay fine sorry, enough?)
"Well how's this looking?" He asked me showing his presentation. It was on marketing strategies and business growth. I have been hearing a lot about this since childhood and even working on it now since papa runs a business. So, it was not difficult to understand.
"I guess this should be more elaborate and here, ummmm one more example is needed. Well, this part is fine but I think you should try adding some exemplary convos between a customer and a retailer." I replied scrolling through all the pages.
"You seem to know deeply about this. I thought you would suggest me about background and outlook. But I think I have to amend a lot now." He sighed and took the laptop back. He started adding the details and changing certain parts. Well, Mr Perfectionist is taking my suggestions, strange. Anyways, I am also good at things. Hairflip
"Well, what do you work as? Like I just thought of asking. Don't get angry, please. Ummm if you don't want to tell. It's okay." I said vomiting unnecessary words from my mouth.
He gave me a strange look and asked "Why would I get angry at this? Come on." Oh fine, he is normal today. I thought he would get angry like he once shouted at someone asking him about his birthplace.
"Oh-uh I just thought so." I replied stuttering.
"Stop overthinking. Well, I am a Chief Executive Officer." He said without breaking the tapping moments of his fingers on the keyboard.
"Great, so you run a company." What more is left? Anything else extraordinary this man in front of me is doing? Because I have no more jealousy stock left. God stop giving me inferiority complexes. Huh!!!
"Ummm a group of companies." Oh yeah one more thing was left. Is 10th floor enough?
"Nice. Well papa is a CEO too. He runs an enterprise in Delhi." I said with a chuckle at the end.
"Ohh so that's why you know a lot about marketing." He was still typing.
"Yeah and actually I wor........"
"Shreyaaa Vedaaaaant come here na" Shrida called us to join everyone.
I was too tired to work more but I also didn't want to leave now so it's better to sit with them. I and Vedant joined them.
"Here take this" Maheer said to him passing him a - wait - guitar?
"What?" He gave him a confusing look.
~Author's POV~
"What what? Shuru ho ja chal" Maheer said to Vedant tapping his shoulder showing pride.
(Get started)
"Tu abhi pitega ya baad me?" Vedant passed him a glare and kept the guitar aside.
(You will get beaten now or later?)
"Jab tu bole, bus ek song please yaar" He replied making a pout.
(Whenever you say, just one song please)
"Vedant Please yaar" One by one everyone started requesting him but Shreya was sitting silently.
"Shreya yaar bol na isse" Myra said to her hitting their shoulders with each other's at which Vedant looked at her.
"What? Me?" Shreya said nervously sensing his gaze on her. She turned towards him and said looking into his eyes. "Vedant Ple-"Before she could complete, he positioned the guitar in his hands and asked to Maheer in an annoyed tone. "Fiiiiiiiiiiine which one?"
"Any song will work. Just sing" Maheer said excitedly and sat folding his legs and resting his head on his palms while elbows dug into his thighs. Soon everyone sat in this position, some folding their legs and some hanging.
Vedant closed his eyes and started singing –
(Play 'Main Rang Sharbaton Ka-Reprise Version' from 'Phata Poster Nikla Hero' movie before reading the further segment. Try synchronizing your reading with the song. For your help, I have written the lyrics in between. ENJOY!!!)
Khwaab hai tu neend hoon main
Dono mile, raat bane
Roz yahi maangu dua
Teri meri baat bane, baat bane
Opening his eyes, he saw everyone looking at him and vibing on the song snapping their fingers. He sang further-
Main rang sharbaton ka
Tu meethe ghaat ka paani
Main rang sharbaton ka
Tu meethe ghaat ka paani
Mujhe khud mein ghol de to
Mere yaar baat ban jaani
Rang sharbaton ka
Tu meethe ghaat ka paani
Main rang sharbaton ka
Tu meethe ghaat ka paani
He signaled others to continue
Shrida, Myra and Anya sang together further while he played the guitar and Shreya was just listening to all of them–
O yaara tujhe pyaar ki batiyaan
Kya samjhawan
Jaag ke ratiyaan roj bitawan
Iss se aage ab main kya kahoon
Ho yaara tujhe bolti akhiyan
Sadke jawaan
Maang le pakhiyan aaj duaawaan
Isse aage ab main kya kahun
They giggled at the end and passed high fives to each other while he continued playing the guitar to set the aura for next stanza and tapping his foot on the ground. He raised his head and looked at the moon and sang further –
Maine toh dheere se
Neendon ke dhaage se
Bandha hai khwabon ko tere
Mai na jahan chahun
Na aasman chahun
Aaja hisse mein tu mere
He looked at Shreya and smiled to see that she was continuously staring at him.
Tu dhang chahaton ka
Main jaise koi nadani
Tu dhang chahaton ka
Main jaise koi nadani
Mujhe khud se jod le to
Mere yaar baat ban jaani
Rang sharbaton ka
Tu meethe ghaat ka paani
Shreya realized he was reciprocating her gaze so she started looking here and there in nervousness. His lips curled seeing her actions and he continued further closing his eyes and tilting his head towards the ground while continuously tapping his left foot synchronizing it with the tunes. She again looked at him. -
Tune jo dekha hai, tune jo jaana hai
Hoon bhi nahi bhi hoon main woh
Chahoge tum jaisa, ho jaunga waise
Chaho toh wada ye le lo
Tum ek musafir ho
Main koi raah anjaani
Tum ek musafir ho
Main koi raah anjaani
Mann chaha mod de toh
Mere yaar baat ban jaani
He sang further raising his head and again looked at everyone. Samarth and Shrida stood up to dance while Myra was making a video of the moment and Maheer was looking at her all this while.
Rang sharbaton ka
Tu meethe ghaat ka paani
Main rang sharbaton ka
Tu meethe ghaat ka paani
Mujhe khud mein ghol de toh
Mere yaar baat ban jaani
Rang sharbaton ka
Tu meethe ghaat ka paani
He lowered his voice towards the completion of the song and as he ended, everyone clapped for him while a pair of eyes was still lost in him. He turned towards them and asked "So? How was it?"
"Huh Uh- Yeah nice" Shreya said stealing her gaze and tucking her hair strands behind her ears.
"Just nice?" He asked raising his eyebrows and tilting his head slightly.
"No, it was fabulous. I really liked it. Okay bye everyone. Actually I have to call Maa. It's quite late already." She said first addressing him and then everyone else and left in a hurry.
"Isko kya hua?" Myra said with a shrug and then looked at Maheer who almost slept sitting on the bench. She threw an empty bottle at him and he woke up with a jerk. Everyone laughed and left for their rooms to sleep.
(What happened to her?)
