“Let’s go dancing,” after quickly finishing her drink, Sara stood up. She held Rashi’s and my hands in order to make us stand and go with her to dancing floor.
“But firstly let us finish our drinks, no?” Rashi replied.
“So I am going. You finish it soon and join me there,” Sara said while moving to dancing floor.
“Hmm…,” Rashi agreed with it.
I am really bad at dance. Neither do I have my willingness nor do I have my ability, when it comes to dancing. I just wished Rashi didn’t ask me to dance. Though I was pretty sure she would take me to the dance floor.
“Let’s go, Vibhu,” she finally demanded it as we both finished our respective drinks.
“Rashi, you go please. I don’t dance,” I said hoping she might not force me to come with her.
“Even I don’t know much of it. Come,” she held my hand. She forced me, it felt bad. But she forced me holding my hand, it felt good!
I hesitatingly stood up and we started moving to the dance floor. Seeing us coming, Sara quickly approached to us, dragging us to the floor.
Both the girl started dancing. I too started dancing. However, I must have been doing only 10% of what Rashi and Sara were dancing. Every time the song changed, people became more energetic. Rashi said she didn’t know much of dance but out of every dancer who was at the floor, she was the best dancer. Three of us were dancing together yet, at times, I would stop dancing to see Rashi dance, and then she would make me resume my dance by holding my hand and raising it. She had really stunned me today, from her behavior to her dance.
After some more minutes to dancing, we came out at parking lot.
“You are really a good dancer, Rashi,” I complimented her as we sat in the car.
“Thank you!” she replied starting the car.
“But you don’t know much of dancing, right?” I reminded her what she said just before dancing.
She smiled as she drove out of the parking area.
“We really had fun together!” Sara said after a while.
“Hmm…” Rashi said. “But it made Vibhu disturb from his schedule.”
“That’s fine,” I answered. “I too had a wonderful time with you!”
“Thanks!” Rashi said as if she just whispered.
The sound of her whisper remained in my ears for a while. Rashi wasn’t driving too fast as Andheri from here was just 6 kilometers away. I looked at her, so did she. We shared a smile. Meeting Rashi after long time seemed as if I had found a friend who was lost long back.
In a short while, we reached my destination – Shraddha society.
