The Dance…
“Raj isn’t it so nice everybody in our group has found their love. I wished I also had one.”
“You have one but the problem is you don’t have the guts to tell her.”
“Its not that Raj. I want to tell her but I am afraid she may say no.”
“Rohit you love her don’t you. Then what’s the problem. When you love a person you should not expect anything in return. If you expect something than its an insult of love. so what if she says no will that end your love for her. If so your love is not true.”
“You are right. But what to do it is a human trait. We cannot accept a no.”
“Yes. But don’t let it stop you from loving her.”
“You are right. Anyways what should I wear today to the disco.”
“I completely forgot, you are going to the disco for the first time. Well any kind of casuals would do. A nice t-shirt and jeans will be just fine.”
“Anything else.”
“Nothing else. You know how to dance and that’s enough just follow your heart and dance to the beat.”
“Okay Raj I will leave I will meet you at 6’o’clock in the parking lot.”
“Okay.”
I had a small afternoon snap and then got dressed up for the evening. It was 6’o’clack and I rushed downstairs. Nisha and Rohit were already there and waiting for me.
“Hi guys sorry to be late. Nisha you are looking good. Rohit you too are looking cool.” I said.
“Nisha will you come with me tonight. Raj already has a partner.” Rohit said. Way to go Rohit.
“Well I would love to.” Nisha. That’s the way.
“Well let’s go over to Diya’s place and Pick her up. We drove off. Nisha sat behind Rohit. Diya was waiting for us outside her house.
“Where the hell have the three of you been. I have been waiting for quiet sometime.” Diya said little angry.
“Its not my fault. These two were taking time.” I tried to prove my innocence.
“Hey you were the one who kept us waiting.” Nisha.
“Okay sorry .” I apologised. ”well Diya I was late because I was getting something for you. Here this is for you.” I handed her a small gift.
“What is it?” Diya asked.
“Open and see it.” Diya quickly opened the rapper.
“Wow chocolates. These are my favourites.” Diya was excited. “oh thank you janu. You are so sweet.” She gave me a big kiss.
“Hey if you two are over and done with shall we move.” Rohit.
“Alright let’s go.” I said and we headed towards anticlock. On the way we moved alongside and kept talking.
“Nisha have you been to anticlock before.” Rohit.
“No.” Nisha.
“Well its one of the best disco’s in Calcutta.” Rohit. Very good Rohit you yourself have not been to it.
“I love to dance.” Nisha.
“Rohit is also a very good dancer.” I said.
“Really, it will be great fun.” Nisha.
“Here we are, guys lets get ready to rock’n’roll.” I said. I bought the passes. And we all entered.
The place was just jam packed. Awesome music. Lovely and happening crowd. Lightings were also just perfect. Ideal for people of our age group. Today the DJ had come from outside and he was really good. I was dying to get on to the dance floor. Diya and I just jumped in.
“Rohit lets also go.” Nisha.
“Sure. Let’s go.” Rohit. The two of them too joined in. I could see the joy on both their faces. We danced for a while.
“Hi Nisha.” Somebody called. We all looked up, it was Piyush.
“Oh hi.” Nisha.
“Care to dance with me.” Piyush.
“Well sure. Excuse me Rohit.” Nisha. Rohit went over and sat in at a corner table. I did not like it. Nisha and Piyush were enjoying the music.
“Diya get Rohit out here in the middle.” I asked Diya.
“Okay.” Diya said and went over to Rohit. “hey Rohit come let’s dance.”
“Well I don’t have a partner.” Rohit.
“You can dance with me.” Diya said and pulled Rohit to the centre. “Raj if you would excuse I would like to dance with Rohit.”
“Hey no problem.” I went and sat. In the meantime Piyush left and Nisha came over to the table.
“Hey Raj what are you doing here.” Nisha.
“Well Rohit’s dancing with Diya and besides I needed a break.”
“Shall we go and dance.”
“Okay lets go.” Nisha and I moved on to the dance floor.
We danced for a couple of numbers and then Diya and I got back together. So did Nisha and Rohit. Although Rohit now did not look much interested in dance. After some time we decided to leave. We went over to a nearby eat out.
“Oh the evening was amazing. I had a lovely time.” Diya.
“Me too. Rohit you dance very well.” Nisha.
“Thank you.” Rohit said softly.
“Nisha how come Piyush was here.” I asked.
“He had come with his friends.” Nisha.
“Oh is something going on between the two of you.” Diya.
“No. he is just a nice friend.” Nisha.
“The way you were dancing it did not seem so.” Rohit. Looking jealous.
“Are you jealous Rohit.” Diya asked.
“Me jealous of that model no way.” Rohit trying to dust of his hands from everything.
“Well he would have been dancing with Diya I would have been jealous.” I said.
“Really. Why can’t see me dance with another good looking guy or what.” Diya trying to tease me.
“Yeah I would like my girl to stay with me.” I said.
“So sweet.” Nisha.
“Well guys what’s the plan now.” I asked.
“Well let’s go home.” Rohit
“Yeah we should leave now. “ Diya.
“Okay Rohit you drop Nisha home I will take Diya.” I said.
We left Rohit took Nisha home and Diya and I went for a drive.
