Kaise Lag Sakta Hai? – Ishk Par Zor Nahi

“Wo aapko mujhse zada acchi lagti hai, haan, AVM? Mujhse zada acche gobhi ke parathe banati hai? Mujhse behtar samajhti hai aapko?”

The world might see her too intoxicated to be in her senses but the man holding her knew that her drunk self revealed nothing but the truth. Always.

“Main bhi kya puch rahi hoon! Kyun puch rahi! Obviously wo pasand hai aapko tabhi to uske saath dinner par gaye the!” Forcefully getting her hand out of his grip, she attempted to push him away. “Chh-chhodiye mujhe. Aapke itne paas hone ka haq… mera nahi hai!”

“Mere itne paas hone ka haq… sirf tumhara hai, Ishqi! I don’t know tum ye sab kya dimag mein lekar baithi ho lekin ek baat jaan lo,” he said, placing her hand on his heart, “gobhi ke parathe tumse zada acche banane wale bohot log honge lekin mujhe sabse zada pasand… sirf tumhare haath ke hai!”

Battling hard with the alcohol in her system, she tried to keep her eyes wide open. Staring into his eyes, she tried judging the honesty of his confession.

“Rahi baat samajhne ki, Ishqi to… jab do log ek dusre se bohot alag hote tab ek dusre ko samajhna shayad har waqt mumkin nahi hota but you know what? Wo matter bhi nahi karta. What matters is the willingness. Koshish, Ishqi… wo koshish hoti hai jo actually matter karti hai. Aap na bhi samajh pao kuch situations mein ek dusre ko tab bhi matter sirf ye karta hai… ke aap samajhna chaahte ho. Aap koshish karte ho,” he paused, seeing her eyes closing again.

Her head that fell on his shoulder made him smile like always. As he lifted her in his arms and made his way toward his car, he whispered to her, “Aur mujhe samajhne ki sabse behtar koshish… tumhari hoti hai, Ishqi. Humesha… sirf tumhari hoti hai!”

Carefully making her sit in the car, he covered her shivering figure with his blazer. “Jo meri zindagi ka har ek lamha ordinary se magical bana deti hai… jiski zindagi ke har ek lamhe ko main normal se khubsoorat banana chaahta hoon… uss se zada accha mujhe koi kaise lagta hai?”

This is a random piece of fiction. Absolute imagination. Kind of a random mini tale based on the picture on the characters named Ishqi and Aahan, fondly addressed as IshqAan from the show Ishk Par Zor Nahi that starred Param Singh and Akshita Mudgal as protagonists.
