3. Karthik speaks Kannada

"Kyun tune meri fursat ki

Kyun dil mein itni harqat ki

Ishaq mein itni barqat ki

Ye tune kya kiya.."

💛💛💛

The final notes of the song faded into the air, yet Misha and Vihaan remained frozen in their embrace, a silent tableau of shared emotion. The spell was broken only when they heard a deliberate throat-clearing.

Both looked up sharply, their eyes meeting the teasing, wide smiles of Ayaan, Saira, Rida, and Shivansh.

Vihaan quickly regained his composure, gently helping Misha stand straight.

He then moved away, walking over to stand beside Shivansh. Almost immediately, Saira darted over to Misha's side.

"Arey, Misha Didi, are you fine?" Saira asked, her voice dripping with playful mischief. The hint of a blush touched Misha's cheeks, but she managed a simple, "Yes, I am fine."

Just as the awkward moment threatened to stretch, a new, unfamiliar tune filled the room the beautiful melody of the Kannada song 'Neenadhe Naa'

Misha turned towards the music player and saw Karthik standing there, a purposeful look on his face.

Karthik strode across the room and stopped in front of Rithika.

He extended his hand, his eyes unwavering, and spoke in surprisingly clear Kannada, "Neevu, nanjothe dance madthira Rithika madam?"

(Will you dance with me, Rithika madam?)

The unexpected language and the grand gesture sent a wave of delighted shock through the entire group.

A wide, beaming smile lit up Rithika's face. She happily took his hand. "Nice try, Mr. Joshi," she chuckled, allowing him to lead her to the center of the room.

You can continue and please don't hate the language guys, every language is so pretty in our country❤️

________________________________

Saira leaned close to Misha, her eyes sparkling. "Is this Rithika Bhabhi's favorite song?"

"Yes," Misha confirmed, a soft smile gracing her lips as she watched the couple. "Rithika is from Karnataka, and Karthik Bhai actually confessed his feelings for her by playing this song. It's their special tune."

"Aww," Saira gushed, her hands pressed to her heart. "Rithika Bhabhi and Karthik Bhai's love story is so cute!"

Seeing the couple lost in their own world, the rest of the group silently and tactfully melted away. Misha watched them for another moment, mentally warding off any 'evil eye' from the truly happy couple, before turning and heading downstairs, her face soft with a genuine smile.

🦋

Misha eventually reached her assigned room. The moment she was alone, all the joy evaporated, replaced by the rush of the day's events and the memories of the past.

"Vihaan... the dance... the sudden proximity", Misha spoke. It was overwhelming. She sank down near the wall, pulling her knees up to her chest, and the tears that she had held back all evening finally began to flow.

Unbeknownst to her, Vihaan was standing just outside the door, his heart clenching as he listened to the low, broken sound of her sobs.

He felt a fierce, familiar pain; a single, hot tear escaped his own eye. But before Misha could detect his presence, he quickly and silently moved away, heading towards the garden, needing the cool, open air.

As Vihaan entered the garden, everyone except Misha, Rithika, and Karthik was there. Namitha noticed him immediately. "Where is Misha, Beta?" she asked with concern.

The memory of Misha's heartbroken sobs was still raw, but Vihaan quickly put up his usual shield of indifference. "I don't know, Grandma," he replied, pretending to be normal.

A while later, Jathin stood up. "Alright, it's getting very late, so we should leave now."

Gautham stood up as well. "Okay, fine. We'll meet again soon." The Rajkot family began to move towards the house to say their goodbyes.

Misha was already in the living room. Seeing the guests approaching, she quickly walked towards Namitha, Anushka, and Anika, holding a beautifully wrapped gift for each of them.

"Arey, Beta," Namitha protested gently, "why do we need all these formalities? After all, we are all family now." Anushka and Anika readily agreed.

"Grandma, please don't say no," Misha insisted with genuine warmth. "I got these for the three of you with so much love." Rithika and Karthik, having just arrived, stepped up to support Misha's plea.

"Okay, fine dear, thank you," the elders finally consented, touched by her gesture, and headed out. Saira, Rida, Ayaan, and Shivansh gave Misha, Rithika, and Karthik warm goodbye hugs. Vihaan, however, simply walked past, not saying a single word.

Misha, deeply affected by his silence, didn't utter another word herself.

She walked straight to her room, changed into comfortable black pajamas, and moved towards her balcony, clutching a book: 'WARMTH' by Rithvik Singh. As she read, her eyes welled up again, the words echoing the turmoil in her heart.

After finishing the book, Misha went inside, lay down on her bed, and stared into the darkness, her mind consumed by Vihaan. "Why, Vihaan, why?" she whispered into the empty room.

"Whenever I try to move on, you always appear right in front of my eyes." Eventually, exhaustion won, and sleep took over.

🦋

Meanwhile, Vihaan was unable to focus on the drive. His mind was a chaotic loop of Misha's face, her tears, and her silent departure.

He pulled over to the side of the road and rested his head heavily on the steering wheel, sighing deeply. He messaged Anushka that he was going to his apartment and drove off.

At his apartment, he immediately headed to the kitchen, grabbed three bottles of beer from the fridge, and settled on the couch on his balcony. He opened the first bottle, placing the others on a nearby table.

He picked up his phone, his finger hovering over Misha's old number.

He finally dialed it, but the impersonal computer voice on the other end confirming the number was out of service made him quickly cut the call. He stared out at the dark sky.

"You hate me that much," he muttered bitterly, closing his eyes, "that you even changed your phone number after I left."

He eventually got up, walked to his room, and took a long, hour-long shower to clear his head. He came out wearing black sweatpants and a gray T-shirt, grabbed his laptop, and sat on the bed.

He hoped work would be a distraction, but the screen reflected his own troubled thoughts. He was wrong.

🦋

The next morning, Vihaan walked into the office to find Ashok and Raman engaged in a serious conversation on the couch. Both men stood up to greet him. Vihaan returned their 'good mornings' with a polite smile.

As they talked, the cabin door opened, and Misha stood hesitantly in the doorway.

"Arey, Misha Beta, why are you standing there? Come in!" Ashok said, gesturing her forward. Misha simply nodded and walked to stand next to Raman.

"We both want to tell you two something," Raman and Ashok announced simultaneously. Misha and Vihaan exchanged curious glances, waiting for the news.

"Well," Raman started, with a touch of apprehension, "we both were planning a trip. We were thinking of taking a vacation with both families."

"But Dad," Misha questioned, "shouldn't we ask everyone else in the family first?"

"That's exactly why," Ashok interjected with a wide smile, "we've arranged a dinner tonight to invite everyone and discuss the plan!"

After a brief pause, both Misha and Vihaan agreed to the dinner invitation. "Okay, then I will leave now. See you tonight!" Misha said, walking out of the cabin.

A short while later, Misha was sitting in her own cabin when her phone rang. It was Karthik. "Hello, Misha. Come home immediately! There's an emergency!" he said urgently, and then disconnected before she could even ask what was wrong.

The word 'emergency' sent a spike of panic through Misha. Tense and worried, she grabbed her bag and rushed out, heading straight for the Joshi house.

The meaning of the song Neenaade naa

With you, here begins my fable.

I've lived every line in it to the fullest.

With me, here begins your fable.

For it has created another world of ours

This has never happened before.

What does all of this mean? Clouded with thoughts, here I am, yet all I can think of is you.

We're not two entities anymore but are one soul.

I submit myself to you

You complete me, and I complete you.

The rest of my life is with you.

You make me whole, and I make you whole.

I'll spend the rest of my life with you.

With you, here begins my fable. I've lived every line in it to the fullest. With me, here begins your fable. For it has created another world of ours.

We are far apart, yet here we are, living in the moment. There's nowhere else I'd rather be on this globe but within you. As the beats fill my racing heart, I run out of breath.

For all the loneliness I've suffered, here you are.

The sweetest and the perfect cure there is.

For all the affection that brims out of me, the care you provide is the answer.

Warding off all the evil glances from me, your eyes continue to guard me.

You complete me, and I complete you.

The rest of my life is with you.

You complete me, and I complete you.

The rest of my life is with you.

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

What does it all mean? I'm here, clouded by thoughts, and all I can think about is you.

We are no longer two separate entities but rather one soul.

I humbly submit to you.

You make me whole, and I make you whole.

I'll spend the rest of my life with you.

You make me whole, and I make you whole.

I'll spend the rest of my life with you....
