Love Is Not A Fairytale

Chapter Twelve

Arnav's POV:

I took my car keys and headed to Sanjana's house. I rang the doorbell twice before Sanjana's mom. She was quite stun looking at me. I touched her feet and she welcomed me in..

"Beta, what are you doing here? " maa asked. 'Maa'? Seriously?

"Maa... " I said clearing my throat "maa... I.. I wanted to know about Sanjana.. What she likes, what she doesn't etc.. etc. " I said looking down embarrassed..

I looked up and maa smiled wide...

"To know about her, you need to observe her, talk to her and stay with her. But if you really want to know about her well, she is not a girl you boys will love at one glance.. but if you get to know her she is different.. she loves children and animals.. she loves playing with them.. she loves eating chicken and Indian attires. She hates very few things... she hates injustice, corruption, forceful things and stuffs like that... she is different.. " Maa said taking in a breath.

A wave if guilt passed through me.. I had forced her... I looked back at maa..

"Did she have any dreams or hobbies... " I asked.

"Oh she did! She always wanted to be a professional dance choreographer... she even loved music. Her song books, guitar and payal... everything is there, kept safe. Even her Broono... " she said pointing at the puppy...

Suddenly an idea struck my mind..

"Maa can I take those things and Broono with me, just to surprise Sanjana... " I asked...

She smiled widely and nodded. She got up and went somewhere.. she came after a few minutes with a guitar bag which probably held the guitar, a few copies and a small pouch with payal obviously...

I took them from her and I took Broono home with me. Sanjana will love it.. I am doing thus just to take her insecurities away.. I want her to see me as a good person before this year of togetherness ends.

I reached home. I kept the song books and the guitar on one side of the bed, I kept the payal inside her cupboard and made Broono comfortable with the room.

In a while the room's door latch clicked...

Sanjana's POV:

I sat on the bed dumbfounded as Arnav walked out of the room. Sh¡t!! What did I do!? What was I thinking?

I bit my bottom lip as the tears escaped my eyes.. How could I? After a few moments of the greatest regret I went down to cook the lunch. The groceries were very less.. I headed for the market with the thoughts still lingering in my mind...

When I returned something jumped into my arms.. as I realized it was none other than my very own Broono I hugged it bag! After a few moments if giggles and fun with Broono, my eyes fell on Arnav who was sitting on the bed enjoying the whole scene.

I kept Broono down and walked to the couch to sit when I noticed my guitar bag and books. I looked at Arnav in shock. He came up to me and handed me one random book in my hands..

"Won't you play a song for me? " he asked sweeter than honey... yuck!!

I faintly smiled at him before nodding my head in a 'no'.

"I've stopped playing since I got married.. " I saw his face put down but, it was he because of whom I had given this up..

I simply brushed past him and entered the washroom... when I came out he was not there... The things were still in their places.. I sat on the bed and took the guitar in my hands, taking my second song book and starting to play my all time favourite song..

"Kasam Ki Kasam Hai Kasam Se

Humko Pyaar Hai Sirf Tumse

Ab Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Phir Humse

Kasam Ki Kasam...Hai Sirf Tumse

Log Kehte Hai Paagal

Hoon Main Yeh Bhi Na Jaanu

Dil Lutaya Hai Maine

Ab Kisi Ki Na Maanu

Chain Dekar Ke Maine

Bechainiya Yeh Li Hai

Neende Udakar Ke Maine

Tumse Wafaye Ki Hai

Kasam Ki Kasam Hai Kasam Se

Jee Rahe The Hum Tere Dum Se

Ab Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Phir Humse

Kasam Ki Kasam...Hai Sirf Tumse

Kuch Ishaaron Mein Tumne

Humse Jo Yeh Kahan Hai

Ab Yakin Aa Raha Hai

Tumko Bhi Kuch Hua Hai

Kyon Tumko Dekhte Hain

Kya Dil Mein Sochte Hai

Toofan Jo Uth Raha Hai

Hum Usko Rokte Hai

Kasam Ki Kasam Hai Kasam Se

Yeh Milan Hai Sanam Ka Sanam Se

Ab Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Phir Humse

Kasam Ki Kasam

Haan Kasam Yeh Kasam

Di Kasam Li Kasam

Haan Kasam Kasam

Kasam Kasam

Kasam Ki Kasam Hai Kasam Se

Humko Pyaar Hai Sirf Tumse

Ab Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Phir Humse

Kasam Ki Kasam Hai Kasam Se... "

I looked above my shoulder and spotted Arnav, standing by the door with as smile on his face...
