~Vedant's POV~

I went to the room where Maheer stopped me at the entrance.

"What? Let me in." I said looking at his expressionless face.

"First tell me what is going on?" He asked in a serious tone but honestly he was looking more stupid because seriousness is not his style.

"Nothing. Now move aside." I tried going in but he resisted me giving me a push. "Yaar tera toh kaam ban gya par meri wali to abhi bhi ladne me busy hai"
(Yours work is done but my girl is still busy is arguing)

"Abey konsa kaam? It's not a task that you complete and it's done. It's the feel that is everlasti....... Wait mai bhi kisko samjha raha hu....hatt ab yaha se" I pushed him aside and entered the room to sleep. Just a while ago, I called her Ms. Blushful and now remembering all the moments, I could not sleep and was continuously blushing.
(What work?)
(Wait whom am I even explaining? Get aside now.)

"Bhai ki help nahi karega?" He started again.
(Won't you help your brother?)

"You are sleeping or I just call Myra right now and give her the list of all your exes?"

And he finally shut down and slept while I was still awake thinking about Shreya. I don't know what she must be doing right now. Sleeping peacefully or having trouble to sleep like me? I even thought of texting her but then realized I didn't have her number. Poor me. "Huhhhhhh this is so stupid. Sleep Vedant Sleep." I said to myself as I dug my head into the pillow.

~Shreya's POV~

Everyone is slept beside me but I am still unable to sleep. Huh what is this stupid feeling? I am just unable to stop blushing remembering the site of him very close to me. And what was I thinking? Damn. I thought he would k-
Shreya yaar you are done. You are freaking done.

Hey wait!!! I am here having trouble to sleep and he must be sleeping soundly after feeding me numerous butterflies that are doing Kathak, Bharatnatyam and god knows what more in my stomach. Ummm I can text him and ask. Yeah. But wait I don't have his number. Sad. Very sad. Very very sad Shrey. Okay now shut up and dance. I mean sleep. Sleep now.

~Vedant's POV~

(Before reading further, play 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha toh Aisa Laga' from the same name film. I have not written the lyrics. Just play it as a background score. ENJOY!!!)

The garden is so well decorated with shimmer lights and flower petals. Natural flowers, shrubs and trees are also there adding to the beauty. The night sky is filled with stars and moonlight is covering the whole surface showering it's peace and serenity. I am sitting near the lake wearing a lavender suit waiting for her.

She enters and my heartbeat rises. I turn around to look at the angel in front of me. She looked ethereal and divine. She was wearing a lavender gown and looking like a princess directly teleported from heaven.

My voice got stuck in my throat when she came near me and held my hands.

She kept one of my hands on her waist and held other one raising our palms with fingers entangled into each other's. Then kept her hand on my shoulder and we started dancing under the night sky looking into each other's eyes. It is magical and dreamy. I want to stop the time and never move ahead of it. This proximity and romantic gesture is making my heart flutter.

I felt like drowning into her eyes which shined like stars. Her chubby cheeks looked as if painted red. Her cherry lips curled into an adorable smile. My eyes got stuck there.

She untangled our fingers and hanged both her hands around my neck while I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her towards me.

I stopped dancing and she followed me. We stood for few seconds looking into each other's eyes.

I held her face with my hands and leaned towards her. We closed our eyes and got lost into each other. As we moved closer, I could feel her fingers running through my hair.

But just when our lips were about to touch.....

I felt a jerk and fell on the ground on my face. What the-

(Stop the song. Further segment would not compliment it.)

I turned around and was now on my back on the ground and then I saw that
Shreya turned into Maheer. What the-

"Pagal hai kya?" Maheer shouted and I woke up and realized I was lying on the floor because he pushed me down from the bed. The hell!!! All that was just a dream???
(Are you mad?)

"Saale tere saath nahi so raha aaj ke baad" He said in a dramatic tone and I got up face palming myself.
(I won't sleep with you from now.)

What the-
Now this stupid creature will create a whole drama out of this. But man, what the hell was I dreaming? Vedaaaaant yaaaaaar!!!

"Bhai maine tujhe iss din ke liye bada kiya tha?" He continued his freaking drama. At this moment, I want to hide myself somewhere and never come in front of him. I was thinking all this when he picked a wooden stick kept in the corner of the room and started chasing me.
(Did I raised you for this day?)

"Maheer stop, what are you doing?" I said running in the corridor while he ran behind me. I turned around and saw he was walking slowly with a smirk. I could not understand and went towards him. He walked past me so I turned and saw Shrida's mom coming out of the kitchen with a tray.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaunty" He sang. Damn, he will spit everything here. This demon has no shame after all.

"Maheer bro coffee?" I ran to her before him and picked a cup of coffee and said passing it to him.

He looked at me strangely. "Beta I will serve don't worry." Shrida's mom said smiling at me.

"It's okay aunty, we will do it. You go rest for a while." I took the tray from her and went to the backyard to serve the elders and took Maheer with me. "Maheer come, join me." I said giving him a glare. Thank god he didn't argue further otherwise I was done today.
