[55]

मैं कहीं भी रहूँ ऐ सनम मुझको है ज़िन्दगी की कसम
फ़ासले आते जाते रहें
प्यार लेकिन नहीं होगा कम
जिन्हें चाहूँ, जिन्हें पूजूँ उन्हें देखूँ, उन्हें छू लूँ
ज़रा बातें तो कर लूँ
ज़रा बाहों में भर लूँ
मैं इस चाँद से माथे को चूम लूँ✨🎀

As Siya and Reyansh stepped inside the house, the weight of the day still clung to Siya. She was now the Head Girl of her school, a title she had worked so hard for. Reyansh, unable to contain his excitement, called out, “Papa, pata hai aaj kya hua!”

Harsh, sitting on the couch reading the newspaper, glanced up with mild interest. Tara entered the room, wiping her hands on a towel, looking curious.

“Kya hua Reyansh?” Harsh asked, setting the paper aside.

“Siya has been selected as the new Head Girl!” Reyansh beamed, nudging Siya to come forward.

Siya stood there, her head bowed slightly, her heart racing.

For a moment, there was silence. Harsh looked at Siya, his expression unreadable. Then, to her surprise, a slow smile spread across his face. He stood up and walked over to her, placing his hand gently on her shoulder.

“Keep it up,” he said, his voice soft but filled with pride.

Her heart swelled with emotion, as for the first time she saw that pride in her father's eyes and she felt the sting of tears in her eyes.

“Thank you, Papa,” she whispered, her voice shaky.

Before she could say anything more, Tara rushed forward and enveloped her in a tight hug. “I knew it! I knew you’d make us all proud, Siya!” Tara said, smiling.

Two months passed in a blink. Siya stood near the meeting spot, glancing around as she waited for Shashwat. It had been six days since she saw him because he went for his SSB interview, and the anticipation of seeing him again made her heart race. She spotted him walking toward her, dressed in a well-fitted navy blue shirt. His stride was confident, yet there was a softness in his eyes as he smiled at her. It felt like forever since she had seen him, and her excitement grew with each step they took toward each other.

Shashwat’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Siya standing there. She looked as beautiful as ever, and the past week without her had felt oddly incomplete. Without thinking, he instinctively raised his arms, ready to pull her into a hug. But just as he was about to, he caught himself, freezing mid-motion. His cheeks flushed red as he realised what he was about to do, and he awkwardly lowered his arms, scratching the back of his neck.

Siya, noticing his hesitation, had been blushing herself. She glanced down, avoiding his gaze, but the smile on her face was unmistakable. Both stood there for a second, unsure of how to navigate this unspoken moment.
