"So, on what song we are dancing?" Sahil asked excitedly sitting beside me.

I looked at him with my eyes narrowed, "What 'we'?"

He threw his arm over my shoulder and pulled me in an annoying hug, "You and me." He said pulling my cheeks from other hand, "me and you."

I rolled my eyes hitting him with my elbow. He whimpered removing his hands away from me and holding his stomach, "Ouch!"

"In your dreams!" I barked standing on my feet.

"Warisha.." Meera said, "You seriously need to decide on what song you're performing."

"Aaplogo ne decide Kar liya?" I asked them.

"Decide?" Disha said from other corner of the room. "We have been practicing since a week and Mehak, maybe a month!"

"What?!" My eyes widened. "What was I doing?"

"Touring with Band SANAM." All of them said together.

"Hamara naam liya kisi ne?"

I turned towards the direction of voice and found Sanam with a wide grin popping his head through the small gap and above him Keshu, "Did someone call us?"

"Now this is what we call Shaitaan ka naam liya aur shaitaan haazir." Meera shook her head and the two made their entry.

"Acha hua tum dono bhi aagaye." Disha di sat on the table, "tum dono kaunse song pe dance Kar rahe ho?"

Sanam and Keshu exchanged look with mischievous smile and I said, "Yeh bhi to mere saath the; inhone kaunsa practice Kiya hoga." And the look that I got from them after my sentence made me add more, "Kiya hai...?" I asked nervously, fearing the answer and the two nodded confirming, "Kiya hai."

"Great!" Disha di clapped getting of the table and excitedly asked them, "kaunsa song?"

Both Sanam and KD exchanged a small nod with hidden grin and then they did their signature step that made me roll my eyes and everyone else facepalmed.

"Hain apna dil.. toh awara.."

"Tu mujhse thappar kha-e-ga!" Meera said in same tune coming for them that made me laugh. "You dare to dance on this song at my brother's wedding, Sanam! Taange todh dungi teri!" She warned them.

Sanam faked a gasp, "Apne bade Bhai se Aise baat karte hai? Thappar maarne ki? Sharm nahi aati tujhe?" He said in an angry elder brother like tone.

Meera widened her eyes, bringing her palms to her either cheeks. "Oh my God! Look Mera 'bada bhai' aaya hai." She mocked and the rest four of us, i.e, Sahil, Disha di, Keshu and I were having free entertainment.

"Kaunsi bade Bhai wali harkat ki h tune aajtak? Huh!" She then mimicked his tone, "Apne bade Bhai se Aise baat karte hai? Aaya bada, 'bada bhai'!" She rolled her eyes dismissing him.

I was laughing hard but silently at this. She took a paper and gave it to him, "These are some shortlisted songs for boys, select one from it!"

"Solo dance hoga?" He asked.

"Tu dulhe ka Bhai hai, Sanam! Of course you have a solo performance!" Disha di said.

"Okaayyyy...." Sanam said, surrendered.

"Aur ek pura cousin group dance." Meera added with her best grin and Sanam narrowed her eyes at her.

Sanam gave the paper back to Meera, saying, "Mera performance surprise hoga. I'm not going to do what you guys have planned." He announced. The rest three glared at him and then he added, "I.. I'll do the group dance!" Listening this they smiled, "Good."

He slowly took his steps towards me, "Yeh kaunse song pe perform Kar rahi hai?" He asked everyone else but me.

"Khud puchle." Meera said exiting the room along with Disha di.

"Main bhi aata Hoon!" Sahil said following them.

It was only me, Sanam and Keshav, who got a look from Sanam and he walked out from the room as well.

"Apne thande-thande aankhon se aise sabko dekhna band Karo." I said dryly.

He raised his left eyebrow, "thandi aankhein? So who has warm eyes according to you?" He asked, but before I could say anything he added, "lemme guess... Samar?"

I suppressed my smile and shrugged my shoulder with 'it is as it is' kinda look.

He held my hand and pulled me to himself, encircling his arms around my waist. "Itna perfect hai woh tumhare liye?"

"Ab hai to."

He had slightly disappointed look. I put my arms around his neck, "but my dear, Sanam, Samar chahe jitna bhi perfect ho.. mere liye to perfect tum hi ho." I smiled smacking my forehead against his lightly. He left out a soft chuckle. I further added, "aur yeh Jo tumhari thandi-thandi aankhein mujhe itne warmly, itne Pyaar se dekhti hai, I love that." His smile grew bigger that made fine wrinkles at the corner of his eyes. "Aur Meri aisi cheesy baatein sunkar Jo tum smile karte ho that makes your eyes twinkle; I love that, too."

I looked into his eyes intently, "You're not perfect. You're flawed. And I've seen them, flaws that are perfect for me. I love you with your flaws, Sanam" And planted a brief kiss on his lips.

"I love you, too." He whispered resting his forehead against mine. "I know you are not my first, but I'm blessed that you're my last." He said that keeping his palm on my cheek. I smiled hearing that, hearing him addressing me as his last. And what he said next made my eyes teared up.

"I always used to think, why each of my relationship falls apart. Why it doesn't work. What is it that I'm looking for? But now I know. I was looking for you. I was searching you in every person I dated before I met you."

Removing my arms from his neck, I kept it over his palm from which he was holding my face, as he continued-

"When I first saw, you were just another fan for me, but those silly things that you did during our phone calls.." he chuckled softly, "made me want to meet you. When you got drunk.. and said all those things, it made me feel connected to you. Those days that we spent together, we weren't alone, yet my connection with you grew stronger and I knew.. this is what I always wanted. This is what I was looking for. You."

I smiled and the welled up tears rolled down my cheeks as I closed my eyes when he pressed his lips tenderly on my forehead.

"Sanam." I breathed his name and threw my arms around him, hugging him tightly and he also took me in his embrace.

I didn't utter a single word, because nothing could express how loved he made me feel by saying those words. I didn't want any expression to dull the magic this moment had. This silent had. The silence surrounding us was speaking for our love. He secured his arms around me and I buried my face on his chest, and was listening to his heartbeat. His chest rising and falling with each breath he took, in same rhythm as mine.

I wanted to seize the moment.

Sangeet Evening

"Warishaaaa...!!" Meera di came rushing towards me. "Ek performance ke baad Tera performance hai! Aur tune ab Tak DJ ko apna song nahi Diya? Ab Kya Sangeet ka performance tu sidha Barat mein karegi?"

"Wahi to karne jaa Rahi thi main, di." I told her.

"Waise song kaunsa hai Tera?"

"You'll know soooonnn..." I pulled her cheeky and ran my way towards the DJ.

"Tumne mujhe bhi nahi bataya tum kis song pe perform Kar Rahi ho." Sanam came by my side.

"Tch.." I looked at him with a frown, "bola na pata chal jayega."

"Yeh galat hai Yaar! Tumne Mera performance dekh liya and I don't even know what your song is!"

"Galat hai?" I faced him squarly "Aur tum Jo apne performance ke beech baaki ladkiyon se flirt Kar rahe the, woh sahi tha?" I asked him with angry expression.

"Array.." he frowned, "Maine kab flirt Kiya?"

I widened my eyes, "kab flirt kiya?" I asked, "woh Jo ek-ek ladkiyon k haath pakad k unke kangne ke ishare dekh rahe the woh Kya tha?"

"Array...tch.. performance ka part tha na Yaar. Ab tumne Bangles nahi pehne usme Meri Kya galti?" He complained.

(You can play the now if you want to.😁)

I rolled my eyes walking away from him but he held my wrist, "and plus.. baakiyon ke kangan jitne bhi ishare Kare.. main to kangan tumhe hi pehnaunga na?" He said that in flirty manner.

"Flirt Kar rahe ho?" I asked with a cocky smile.

"Jo samjho." He returned my gesture and folded his arms over his chest.

"And ab aa Rahi hai woh, jinke liye dulha aur dulhan mein World War 3 start hogayi thi. Give it up for.....WARISHAAA!" Meera announced my name.

I smiled cheekily at Sanam, waving him bye I made my way to the stage.

When I was on stage I could feel all the eyes on me. I took in a deep breath to calm myself as the music began...

Kehte hain Khuda ne iss jahan mein sabhi ke liye, kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisi ke love;

Tera milna hai uss Rab ka ishaara maanu

Mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye..

I looked up lip syncing with the song and my eyes met Sanam, who was standing just there. I got up keeping up with the rhythm of the music.

Kehte hain Khuda ne iss jahan mein sabhi ke liye, kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisi ke liye;

Tera milna hai uss Rab ka ishaara maanu

M

ujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye..

I smiled at Sanam with a look that said 'Yes, this is for you'.

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta...

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta..

Kaise hum jaane hume kya pata,

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta...

Tu humsafar hai, phir kya fikar hai,

Jeene ki wajah yahi hai, marna isi ke liye...

Kehte hain Khuda ne iss jahan mein....

I grooved with music keeping my eye contact with him. He smiled at me his head slightly, probably thinking how silly I am. Then he walked away from there and I continued with the music.

Suddenly the song stopped in between my performance and I held my posture, my back facing the crowd. I was waiting for the music to resume so that I could continue with my performance.

Oh God! Yeh saari inconvenience mere hi performance ke time honi thi? So embarrassing Yaar!

I let go my position when I heard the raw singing coming from behind. I turned and saw him climbing up the stairs singing the song.

He stood in front of me and took my hands in his.

Meherbani jaate-jaate mujhpe Kar Gaya..

He twirled me into his arms

Guzarta sa lamha ek Daaman bhar gaya...

I slowly raised my gaze, he was already looking at me as he continued-

Tere nazara mila, roshan sitaara mila

Takdeer ki kashtiyon ko, kinara mila....

I had my truest smile on my face while I swayed with the music..

Sadiyon se tarse hai jaisi zindagi ke liye

Teri sauhbat mein duaayein hain ussi ke liye..

Tere milna hai uss rab ka ishaara

Maanu mujhko banaya

I pointed at him- tere hi jaise kisi ke liye....

He smiled.

Kehte hain khuda ne iss jahan mein sabhi ke liye,

Kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisi ke liye..

Tere milna hai uss rab ka ishaara,

Maanu mujhko banaya tere hi jaise kisi ke liye.

Getting out from his embrace I spun around him as the track resumed.

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

Kaise hum jaane hume kya pata

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta.

I held his hand taking a slow but sharp step towards him - Tu humsafar hai, phir kya fikar hai.. Jeene ki wajah hi yahi hai..

He twirled me again and then I rested on his arms freely- marna issi ke liye.....

We held each other's gaze and everyone applauded for us.

The clapping sound and cheers made us broke our eye contact and I stood up straight having a silly smile on my lips and my cheeks having its natural blush.

Sanam looked at me with a warm smile and held my hand as we walked down the stage.

This day couldn't have been any better. I couldn't take my eyes off him all through our walk to everyone else. Him addressing me as his last... Who thought that being last could make me this happy? Know that he was searching someone like me in everyone he met. Knowing that I was everything he ever wanted.

Joining me for my performance when every eyes were on me was his way letting everyone know about our connection.

And this.

I lowered my gaze to see his hand intertwined with mine. Him holding my hands in front of everyone and taking me towards his family. His this gesture made me feel that he was proud to have me in his life and didn't have any intention to hide it.

A/N- Hellloooooooo guys! Long time, no see? Well... Now you see me! Eeeeeeeeee 😁😁😁

I Know that I'm hella late like always but I also HOPE that this chapter made up for your wait. 🙈

SaSha... And this moment made it's entry on that list!
