Sanity nd Solace (On Hold)

Part 18

Teju went towards his car. She was about to open the gate but he stopped her. Karan came out of his seat nd move towards the passenger seat..he opened the gate for her Mishti nd ask her now sit comfortably. He leaned towards Teju. Her heartbeat was getting high so was his.
T: What are you doing? (She asked nervously)
He leaned more towards her nd was very close to her face. Teju close her eyes with this much proximity. She could feel his hot breath near her face. She waited for few seconds nd then opened her eyes. She saw Karan was putting on the seat belt around her. She gulped
K: Don't worry i won't cross my limits. (He smiled)
With that he went towards his seat put on the seat belt nd start the engine on. He started driving nd switch on the radio.
The music starts...Dhadak (title track)

Marhami sa chaand hai tu
Diljala sa main andhera
Ek dooje ke liye hain
Neend meri khwaab tera

Tu ghata hai phuhaar ki
Main ghadi intezaar ki
Apna milna likha issi baras hai na

Jo meri manzilon ko jaati hai
Tere naam ki koi sadak hai na
Jo mere dil ko dil banati hai
Tere naam ki koi dhadak hai na

Karan also started singing the song. Teju felt his gaze on her. She just tried not to look at him at all. She tried to show him that she was still not affected by him. But deep down she was. She turned her face towards the window. Meanwhile Karan was stealing some of her glances. Before she could lose her control she changed the radio station.
The song change to...Tu Jane Na

Tu Jaane Na Aaa

Milake Bhi Hum Na Mile
Tumse Na Jaane Kyun
Milon Ke Hai Faasle
Tumse Na Jaane Kyun
Anjaane Hai Silsile
Tumse Na Jaane Kyun
Sapne Hai Palakon Tale
Tumse Na Jaane Kyun

Kaise Bataaye Kyun Tujhko Chaahe
Yaara Bata Na Paaye
Baatein Dilon Ki Dekho Jo Baaki
Aankhein Tujhe Samjhaaye
Tu Jaane Na Aaa

Now Teju just couldn't stop her tears. She turned her face nd let her tears flow. Karan was also having tears after listening the song. But he didn't stop the music nd let his tears escape. These lyrics were really relatable to both. Teju wiped her tears nd keep looking outside the window. After sometime they reach the place.

The was an ORPHANAGE.

K: Yaa thank you.
Teju started to drive. They reached his house. Karan got out the car nd asked her to come in. First she refused but then agreed. It was the first time she came inside his house. He welcomed her warmly.
K: Mom...I'm home where are you?
Km: Sunny welcome back.
K: Mom look i brought some with me. Come here.
Km: Ohh welcome dear. You must be Tejasswi. Am I right?
