🎵 Abhi Na Jao Chod Kar : Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhosle

The party was in full swing, she was greeting people, welcoming the gifts, the greetings, the wishes with her father. It was indeed a great day for her. Working hard for your dream position and getting it has it's own level of happiness.

A sad smile occurs between all the faces.

His!

He was proud, very proud of her achievement but he seemed silent. Like the silence before the storm. 

She was going away and he was willing to go selfish and stop her.

Her eyes met his, who raised his hand showing her the drink, the happiness, the success, the pride he carried. She walks over to him standing next to him now.

'Stop making those cute faces.' she says.

'Me? You stop being so adorable sweetheart. Those smiles and dimples you're giving people can cause me a heart attack.' he accuses her.

'I was-

'Good Evening ladies and gentleman.' her father's voice cut her off. They turned back to the stage where Mr. Gupta stands with pride, a mike in his hand.

'Thankyou for joining us tonight. This is for my daughter who made me proud today, who's the part of my heart which keeps me alive every single day.' he beckons her over. Giving a side nod and polite smile to people around she walks into the limelight beside her father gently hugging him.

'Thankyou dad, thank you to all of you for being here and joining me before I leave to progress more in life, and make my dad more proud.' The people beamed at the beautiful father daughter duo.

'Please enjoy yourselves.' was the last thing said before the wildest party started. She was grouped by her friends and sisters who danced their hearts out because next when they met was out of the blue. Live in the moment they say, and the girls obliged.

Tired of dancing she walks over to the 2nd table of the row leaning against her silent brother. She squeezes him tight, making circles on his face having no effect on him.

'Stop sulking, I'll be back very soon' she pacifies.

'Sure.' he grimly said.

'I love you bhaiya.' he kisses the side of her head without a word. She melts in his arm feeling the comfort which would be lost from tomorrow until the next few years.

Her got lost in her dreamland of her career, upcoming future and plans until a familiar, very familiar  voice breaks those thoughts.

अभी ना जाओ छोड़कर कर.... के दिल अभी भरा नहीं

Her eyes collided with the hazel green eyes, the ones deeper and deeper and every time she gets lost in that ocean.

अभी ना जाओ छोड़कर कर के दिल अभी भरा नहीं

He sang, the pain, the heaviness could be felt.

अभी अभी तो आई हो, अभी अभी तो ......

She could feel a bit of guilt sinking in. How much time has she spent with him? She met him after 3 years, last week and now she's going again leaving him again?

Like the spring she arrived, spring reawakens everybody and the surrounding environment, bringing everything back to life. She came, lighted up everyone's heart. He wanted her to stay, he wanted to see her, meet her, greet her, spend his time with her. For a moment he wanted to get lost just in her. 

At Least stay for some time, he pleads

अभी अभी तो आई हो , बहार बन के छाई हो

हवा ज़रा महक तो ले , नजर ज़रा बहक तो ले

ले ये शाम ढल त ले ज़रा ...

ये शाम ढल तो ले ज़रा, ये दिल संभल तो ले ज़रा

मैं थोड़ी देर जी तो लूँ , नशे के घूँट पी तो लू

नशे के घूँट पी तो लूँ ....

He means 'stay for a while, let me admire you my love, let my heart feel what I've been urning since years, let my heart sink into your love, let me breathe for a while'

'She was his intoxication, his drug, his oxygen'

अभी तो कुछ कहा नहीं , अभी तो कुछ सूना नहीं

He had so many things to share, to show, to display his emotions. She has so much to listen, to explore, time to hold hands, time to admire him, time to just... spend her entire life in his arms. Nothing has been said till now, nothing has been listened till now.

अभी ना जाओ छोड़कर कर के दिल अभी भरा नहीं

His voice cracked. She walks over to him taking his mike and turning to her father.

सितारे झिलमिला उठे .....

He gives one of his charming smiles to his daughter, pride dripping from his face. His dad was the brightest star in her life, the actual sun who gave his light to the dull moon, making it shine harder.

सितारे झिलमिला उठे, चराग जगमगा उठे

बस अब ना मुझ को टोकना ......

She meets his eyes and shakes her head.

बस अब ना मुझ को टोकना , ना बढ़ के राह रोकना

अगर मैं रुक गयी अभी तो जा न पाऊँगी कभी

She knew she was somewhere selfish but this was one of the promises she had made to her 15 year old self. To fulfil her dreams. And now she can't just let someone obstruct her path. If she stopped now being emotional, she could never go back in the same way again.

यही कहोगे तुम सदा, के दिल अभी नहीं भरा

जो ख़त्म हो किसी जगह , ये ऐसा सिलसिला नहीं

She gave one of her assuring smiles to him signifying his heart will never get satisfied but it's okay for now. Because their story isn't ending anytime soon, it's not a matter to end like this. It's progressing, slowly but steadily.

अभी नहीं अभी नहीं..... He says

नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं .... She shakes her head.

अभी ना जाओ छोड़कर कर की दिल अभी भरा नहीं

Her brother tears up at the sight. She was his little one, the little annoying sibling, the first girl he ever loved after his mother, the first girl's tantrum he bared, the first girl he hugged, he kissed, he was proud of, the only person who could boss him around and now that his little one was going far away from him, it wasn't easy.

अधूरी आस छोड़ के....

His voice brought everyone's eyes on him.

अधूरी आस छोड़ के, अधूरी प्यास छोड़ के

जो रोज़ यूँ ही जाओगी, तो किस तरह निभाओगी

के ज़िन्दगी की राह में, जवाँ दिलों की चाह में

How will you manage after leaving like this time again? In life, in love, in passion there will definitely be obstacles.

कई मकाम आयेंगे जो हम को आजमाएंगे

बुरा ना मानों बात का ये प्यार है गिला नहीं

'This is not a grudge from my side, this is still my love, my anger, my accusation but....' he explains

यही कहोगे तुम सदा के दिल अभी भरा नहीं

She points out.

हाँ दिल अभी भरा नहीं , he says

नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं..... she stumbles on her words but smiles politely seeing the people around and leave the hall hearing all loud clappings and hoots.

He quietly follows her leading them to the 2nd floor balcony window. She silently sniffs, wiping the unwanted tears not wanting to show anyone. Hearing the footsteps she doesn't turns around but feels his presence.

'Jo khatam ho issi jagah, aisa silsila nahi?' he questions her lyrics. She nods interlacing his hand with hers but not looking at him.

'I'll wait for you.' he whispers.

'Until when?' she asks back.

'Until you decide to come back to return me back this.' and before she could say anything, leaving the box in her palm and kissing her head he moves back silently.

She opens and box and gasps.

'This ring is my dad's and only one person can make me wear this, the one who truly deserves my love.'

She remembers this precious ring. But the story has to wait because... love comes at the right time, patience is what one needs, the right time will come soon.
