Mellow Drama

Tamanna’s wedding night, she looked beautiful and the happiness was radiating through her smile of content at finding a man who loves her way more than she can imagine. Shashank took the guitar on the bashor night  and started playing all the romantic numbers for the couple. Tamanna and Abir, the recently married two, were continuously stealing glances. Abir kept on admiring Tamanna and how perfect she looked on the wedding night, Tamanna was blushing before she looked at me and said, ‘ki bajachhe dekh’.  Getting back to Shashank’s romatic songs, I realized he was playing ‘Bin Tere’.

The same old song that Nihar used to play for Tamanna all though college years. From freshers to fest to singing competition to random song requests, Nihar always sang ‘Bin Tere’ and smiled at Tamanna and Tamanna always knew he sang it for her and meant every word. Then of course seasons changed for whoever’s fault, they parted at whoever’s decision, they moved on for whoever’s benefit, but the song remained.

Many many miles away at Bangalore, the same night, Nihar sang ‘Bin Tere’ again and Priya sat in front. Nihar smiled at Priya while he sang, Priya looked at Nihar and blushed because she knew Nihar sang it for her and meant every word.

And I, just watched.
