The Party

It is rightly said that “Desperate times need desperate measures”. That is what I am looking to do by organizing a New Year party for our class.

Almost a month had passed after her birthday and the condition was status quo, with both of us just smiling and giggling at each other and not talking much , so that’s why the idea of organizing a party cropped up.

Sandy had gone ill and was not available, so I shared my secret with another friend of mine Jaspreet aka jassi and he agreed to help me in my plan.

“Apart from the minor formalities the tough task is to persuade the girls to come because arhenika won’t come alone and have to get a group of girls alongside her.” I said.

“Let us call all the girls and in the end you can call arhenika and try to persuade her.” Replied jassi.

Where is luck when you need it the most?

I had just finished calling Hrithika’s house and she said she cannot come as she was going out of station and same was the case with supreet.

Two of the girls I knew well had responded in the negative, so I was disappointed and told jassi to make the other calls.

“Thanks Girl, See you at the party”. Jassi was having better luck than me and he had convinced 3 of our classmates.

Now is the time I had to call arhenika and despite my poor form I insisted that I will talk with her.

As the bell was ringing, so was my heartbeat. What happens to me when I talk with this girl?

“Hi Arhenika”

“Oh Hi Arhan”

“So what plans about the party? I hope you people are coming”.

“Yeah I and Anjali are definitely coming”

“You can bring any of your friends also, if you are willing to do so”

“Oh thanks, we will definitely do that. See you at the party arhan”

“Yeah see you. Bye”

“Bye”

Hangup….

“Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Calm down dude save your energy for the evening” Jassi smiled.

I wore a brown jacket with black shirt and denim jeans and reached the party venue and after few minutes she came.

The angel had arrived. Arhenika was wearing a black dress, her favorite color, as well as mine, with her hair open and was looking marvelous. I was dumbstruck looking at her when suddenly the aura was broken by the sweetest voice I could hear at that moment.

“Hi Arhan. You are looking good”

“You are looking fabulous as well”, the only words I could mutter at that time.

She started dancing with Anjali and her friends as I kept watching her. I couldn’t get the courage to go and dance with her and was shying away from her.

“Let’s dance Arhan”, Ravi pulled my hand and led me to the dance floor. I danced a bit but my mind was just not in it. More than an hour had passed and I hadn’t even gone close to her.
Thankfully food arrived at that time and that helped me in calming myself and controlling my frustration.

“Come on Arhan, you have worked so hard to make this party happen and now you are not making use of it”, Jassi pushed me to do something.

The DJ then played the song”My heart will go on” and then I finally got some courage and asked arhenika for a dance which she accepted and then we did a bit of couple dance.

It was like everything around me had ceased to exist and it was just me and her, looking into each other and dancing the time away.

It was the best dance I had ever had in my life.

Now it was time for them to go.

“Let’s have ice cream till Anjali’s brother comes” I suggested.

“Ok but I will pay for it as you are not taking the money for the party”

“No No, I will do that”

“Ok then you eat on your own, I am going”

“Ok ok, calm down, you pay”

My god what anger! It matches the anger that I get when I am hot. Another quality of hers which I had came to know and I was loving it.

“Great party Arhan, you surely have done a wonderful job and would love to have these kind of parties often”

“Thanks, yeah it was some trouble making sure it happened but it is worth it”

“You are a wonderful dancer Arhenika and by seeing you dance I am remembered of Kareena kapoor’s dance on Rabba Rabba in Mujhe kuch kehna hai” I praised her.

“Oh nothing it was ok”, she blushed as her cheeks went red.

“You didn’t danced much, would love to see you dance as well”

Sure Arhenika sure I can dance my whole life with you, I thought in my mind.

We talked a little about some random things and I was so much in awe that I couldn’t speak much, I was experiencing the magic of being with her and wanted to savor each moment.
We talked for around 45 minutes when Anjali’s brother came and they had to go. I was a bit said but still these 45 minutes have been the best of my life.

I couldn’t sleep the whole night and was continuously thinking about the 45 minutes and the couple dance that I had with the girl I love.

Yes it is love and I love arhenika.

As the New Year approaches, I have just one New Year wish that the feelings that I have for her are same on the other side as well. Does she feel the same way that I do? Does she like me as well? Does she love me the way that I love her?

Only New Year will tell………………………….
