Singlehood

"I think you should give us a break up party tonight", Said Karan while munching on Lays.

Aditi had completely got over her injury as well as her break up. After all she is not helpless, weak and silly over lost love. She was strong mentally and emotionally.

"Yes! Sure! Why not!", chuckled Aditi.

"What about clubbing tonight?' asked Navya.

"Let's go to Palladium Mall in lower Parel '', advised Mohit.

"I want to drink", said Aditi with a smile.

Everyone looked at her seriously and remembered the previous incident when she was drunk and all four of them burst to laugh.

"Then let's go to Angrezi Pub in CBD" insisted Karan.

******************************

"Cheers", all four of them lifted up their glasses and said in chorus.

Three of them insisted Navya join them for drinks but Navya refused to say that she had never consumed alcohol. But her friends and sister kept forcing her till she gave in. Aditi felt a bit tipsy but she continued drinking. After all, when Vodka goes in your consciousness goes out.

"Aditi! You should drink carefully", said Navya as she saw Aditi struggling to stand.

"I will drink it when there will be a brand of vodka named carefully", Aditi mocked.

"You are crazy," said Mohit with a sly smile.

"Indeed!!!" Aditi said with a smile.

"Drink in your limits", said Navya.

"Navya, this is my break-up party and now I am single so let me enjoy my singlehood", said Aditi.

"Yahoo!!!" Aditi said while throwing her hands up and entering the dance floor.

All of them ended up having a ball, with unlimited drinks on their table followed by energetic dancing. Aditi and Karan danced on the Bollywood dance numbers, hip hop blended by the DJ very well.

"Apart from your attitude, your feet also have magic", Karan said as he held her waist while dancing to rock music that was being played.

"Hey, I will be back in a few minutes! Dad is calling", Aditi said as she was about to attend the call.

As Aditi went out of sight, Karan felt a part of him was leaving. Karan had never taken relationships seriously but after seeing Aditi he rethought his whole life. There was an air of anticipation accompanied by an overwhelming feeling of love.

********************************

“Haan dad we are okay. Currently, we are at a party.”

“Navya is inside. There is a lot of music.”

“Yes Dad, Navya is fine. We don't have any problem.”

“No, you don't need to come here.”

“Dad, I will definitely call you if I have any problem.”

“We will try to come back to Kolkata during our holidays.”

“Now I am going bye. My friends are calling me.”

“Yes dad, I will take care of myself and Navya.”

“You also take care of yourself. Love you dad. Bye.”

Aditi disconnected the call and was about to turn, a drop of water fell on her hand. she looked up and again a few drops fell on her hose flowed by her lips. It was drizzling.

"Barrish!!!", Aditi exclaimed and spread her hands to feel the essence of wet soil.

Soon it started raining heavily.

Zulfon se bandh liya dil

Seene pe se udne laga aanchal

Mujhse naina mila ke

Mausam hone lagge paagal

Aditi started dancing and singing the song. She jumped on the water that was jammed on the road without a care for her dress.

Sabse hoke befikar

Nachun main aaj cham cham cham

Cham cham cham

Cham cham cham.

Karan came there searching for Aditi. He saw Aditi dancing in the rain. He went near her.

"Aditi come here! It's raining heavily! you will fall ill", said Karan while covering his head.

"Who cares! When you want to dance in rain dance like nobody's watching", said Aditi while smiling.

As Karan was running to cover himself, Aditi pulled him from back and both were completely drenched.

Rain drop bouncing

My heart is announcing

You got to take me away

Let's start jumping

My heart goes pumping

I love you in every way

Karan pulled Aditi in his arms and both started dancing. They hummed the lyrics and moved their feet to the song.

Dhadkano pe boondein jo giri

Toh nachun aaj cham cham cham (hey!)

Cham cham cham

Cham cham cham..

Main nachun aaj cham cham cham

Cham cham cham

Cham cham cham

They were dancing madly as they were not learned, dancers. Who gives the damn about dancing in rain! The wind blew their hair and the sound of the water falling added rhythm to their dance.

Gili hawaye jhoomti hain

Tann ko mere chumthi hain

Chhod ke ye sharam waram

Jhoom ye jiya

Koi bhi kahe kuch bhi yahan

Maine toh kabhi suna kahan

Dil ne mere jo bhi kaha

Maine woh kiya

Karan held her waist and she put her head on his shoulder.

"This is the first rain of the year!!!", Aditi laughed while saying.

Haan is pal ko main aaj jee loon

Jo bhi hoga dekha jayega kal

Mujhse naina mila ke

Mausam hone lagge paagal haaye

Sabse hoke befikar

Nachun main aaj cham cham cham

Cham cham cham

Cham cham cham..

Karan was fully mesmerized to see Aditi. It was a magical moment for him. The moon was shining up and they were bathing in its glowing light.

Baarishon ki taal pe yeh

Khanak mere dhadkano ki

Keh rahi hai jee le tu zara

Baar baar saath mere

Saare ab thirakne lage

Dole zameen naache aasman

Aditi started jumping, placing her hands on his shoulders. Karan was just watching her innocent behavior.

Main toh hawa hun

Hath na aaun

Marzi se apni, udti hi jaaun

Ho khud ki karun main kya taarife

Raat ne churaya mera kaajal

Mujhse naina mila ke

Mausam hone lagge pagal

Sabse hoke befikar

Nachun main aaj cham cham cham

Cham cham cham

Cham cham cham cham cham.

Aditi! Now let's go! This is enough. or else we will fall ill. Even the rain is slowing", said Karan while trying to stop Aditi from dancing.

"The rain has not stopped", said Aditi while dancing.

Suddenly Aditi looked up and gave a sad smile to Karan as the rain had stopped. Both looked at each other and busted out laughing.

Then they along with Mohit and Navya drove back home. Aditi was continuously humming " nacchu main aaj cham cham" while returning.

Karan looked at her. She was looking extremely beautiful. Aditi blinked her eyes and smiled. Karan was continuously looking at her. He smiled seeing her smile.

There are no words to describe her beauty. There are no words to describe how special his love is for him. Yes!! Aditi was Karan's love! Putting these feelings into words will mean defining them and that would also mean limiting them. The truth is that there is neither limit nor a definition of love.

Karan was deeply in love with Aditi!
