Don't know why I have done this but now my heart was stopping me from giving it back to her....
Within 15 minutes I reached my mansion.
"Bhai let's go to the mandir", Trisha said while coming.
"Do I look like puja paath types ?", I asked her and she stretched her eyebrows.
And then I walked towards my room, I put that on the nightstand, then I went to freshen up.
"Lekin wapis tou karna hi padega", I said to myself, looking outside my room's window.
For some minutes I didn't say anything, I just stared at the moon - which I usually don't do. But I don't know why I'm doing this all.
"Kahin padha tha maine, mohabbat mein insaan aksar chaand ko dekhta hain", I thought.
(I read somewhere that, in love people used to admire the moon).
"Kya soch raha huun main ?", i said while tapping my head.
"Woh sirf ek accident tha", I said to myself.
"Tou phir woh earring wapis kyun nhin kiya ?", dil ne pucha.
(Then why didn't you give that earring back ?, my heart asked).
"Tab tak woh jaa chuki thi", dimaag ne jwab diya.
(She was gone, my mind answered).
"Tou wahin chhod deta usse bhi", dil ne phir se pucha.
(Then you have to leave it there, my heart again asked).
Aur iss baar mujhe koi jawab nhin mila.
(And this time I don't get any answer).
Between this war -
Someone knocked, I gave the permission to open the door.
"Sahab khana lag gaya hain, malkin aapko neeche bula rahin hain", the servant said while bowing to me.
(Sir the food is served, mam is calling you downstairs).
"Unse kaho aa rha hun main", i replied.
(Tell them, I'm coming).
Within 10 minutes I went downstairs and the most important thing, I put that earring into my drawer.
"Shreyansh, aao baitho",mom said and I nodded, with a smile.
(Shreyansh, come and sit).
While everyone was having dinner, dad spoke which makes everyone grab their attention towards him.
"Tomorrow we'll have to go to my friend's house as he opened a new hospital and kal unke ghar par Puja hain (an Indian ritual)", dad said.
"Tou kal hume jaana Hain tou tum college se leave le Lena thik hain ?", dad said and I nodded.
(Then tomorrow you'll have to take a leave from your college ).
We quietly finished our dinner and then I headed back towards - my room.
I opened the door and went inside.
The dim light of the room gives a chill down my spine, the moonlight was coming inside. I let the window open so that the fresh air could come.
I lay on my bed and faced the ceiling.
Kya ho rha hain mujhe, kyun woh mere khyalo se nhin jaa rhin ? sirf ek jhalak aur ab pta nhin kyu usse dobara dekhna chahta hun, kuch tou hain usmein jisne meri neend mujhse chhin li.
(What's happening to me, why didn't she leave my mind just for one second ? Just one sight and now I wanted to see her again, something so strong in her that I can't even sleep now).
With that again I grab that earring.
"Khubsurat thi woh....", I said to myself, admiring her earring.
(She's beautiful).
I put that earring near my heart, and closed my eyes.
I just don't know why I think like that, I just don't know why I do that, but now I want to meet her.
I never think like that for someone but why her ?
I closed my eyes and let the thought come, the cold breeze was flowing inside my room and with that I don't know when I drifted to sleep.
"Bhot traffic tha aaj tou", i muttered under my breath and entered into my mansion.
(So much traffic today).
"Aa gayi, bhot der kar di aaj ?", mom asked while preparing puja ki thaal (Indian ritual).
(You come, aren't you late ?).
"Mumma traffic tha bhot", i replied and she nodded.
Then I headed towards my room.
"Ruk tou jara", mom shouted from the kitchen.
(Stop child !).
I came and she said
"Where's your earring ?", she asked.
"Ohh it might have lost somewhere", i replied and that incident once again flashed in front of my eyes.
"Now may I go ?", I asked and she nodded.
I came into my room.
"Ohh god my earring", i said to myself while holding my left ear.
"Krishnaa..... Buss mera earring mil jaye, woh mera favourite tha", I said to krishan's photo that was on my nightstand.
(Godd.... Please give me back my earring, it was my favourite one).
With that I freshened up and changed my clothes.
I went downstairs and went straight to the mandir.
We did shaam ki aarti and now I'm having my coffee.
I took a sip of it and I saw bhai's car. I know that he has returned from his hospital.
"Mumma bhai has returned", i spoke and she said yes.
"Hey what's going on ?", he said holding his coat on his hand.
"Nothing", i replied and he left with a smile.
It's already 9 and now we all are having some dessert after dinner.
"Okay everybody listen", dad said.
"As you all know that we have opened a new hospital, so tomorrow is the opening ceremony", he said.
"Ishu kal college se leave le lena, aur raghav kal duty off", he continues.
"Okay senior doctor", raghav said and I nodded like an obedient child, he laughed at his statement.
"Kal mere frnd bhi aayenge aur specially that one jiske saath main college time mein pdha tha", he said, with pure charm.
And like that the family chaos continues.
Time skipped.
I came into my room and went to the room's window. I sat on the couch and stared at the moon.
The more brilliantly it shines, the more my eyes crave to see.
I always used to admire the moon like it's the part of my life, I feel so much peace to stare at it.
While staring, that one cafe's incident again flashed in front of my eyes.
I lowered my gaze, and a little pink shade spread across my cheeks.
How strong he was, enough to hold me with his one grip.
How beautiful he was, that I couldn't help but stare at his siyaahi si aankhein (inked yet deep eyes).
How gentle he was, to ask if I'm okay or not.
"I wanted to meet him once again", i said to myself and looked at the moon again.
"Chaand mein bhi uski aankhein nazar aa rahi hain", i said.
(Even on the moon I could only see his eyes).
Now what am I supposed to do ?
"Aankhein band karu tou woh dikhayi deta hain, aankhein kholu tou woh yaad aata hain", i talked to the moon like he was waiting for my daily talks.
(I closed my eyes, I saw him, I opened my eyes, I remembered him).
"Kabhi kissi ke liye iss tarah se nahin socha, phir wahi kyu ?", I said.
(I never thought like that for anyone, then why him ?).
I was looking at the moon and then, I stretched my arms and walked towards my bed.
I lay there still his thoughts didn't leave my mind for a second.
After a few minutes I didn't realise when I drifted to my sleep.
The chapter ends here.
