Dreaming Alone
-Chapter 6-
A Song For You
Julia looked at him once more, rose her head and turned again. However a
question in the form of a song caused her head to turn.
"Ruk ja o dil deewane (Stop oh crazy lover)
Pooncho tho me zaraa (May I ask)
Lardki he ya he jadhoo (A girl or Magic)
Kushboo he ya nashaa? (Incense or desire?)
"Ruk ja o dil deewane (Stop oh crazy lover)
Pooncho tho me zaraa (May I ask)
Lardki he ya he jadhoo (A girl or Magic)
Kushboo he ya nashaa? (Incense or desire?)

Jin was dancing with the French girls yet his questions were aimed at Julia,
even she didn't know it properly. Just as he finished that verse, a saxophone
player tooted right in the side of Julia's face causing her to give him a stare
which she had inherited from her father. Jin jumped off the stage while jumping
above and twirling over the musicians and waiters to get to Julia. Finally the
dire evening had became an exciting one after Jin had added some eastern spice
into it.
#
"Paas woh ai tho, (If she comes close)
Chooke meh denkhoo Zaraa! (I'd want to touch her!)
Ruk ja o dil deewane (Stop oh crazy lover)
Pooncho tho me zaraa (May I ask)
Lardki he ya he jadhoo (A girl or Magic)
Kushboo he ya nashaa? (Incense or desire?)
#
He ran over to Julia putting his elbow on her shoulder and she left the base for
him which caused him to fall, yet he skillfully got up as if in a dance and
continued the rhythm.
The woman who had sung the Opera came very 'modestly' onto the stage walking as
if on an aisle, all the dancers parted but were still dancing to the music
simultaneously at the side like red roses dancing on a windy summer day. Jin
walked just as she did, with more grace through the parting. He took her hand
and started dancing with her, while the girls started dancing around them
forming a circle. Finally the circle was broken and Jin and the Opera woman,
aged 45 or more, were dancing extremely hyper-ly while the audience was clapping
within the fast tune. Then Jin broke from her and danced solo, the music still
going. Feeling hot he took off his dinner jacket and threw it towards Julia on
accidental purpose, it landed in her face and she threw it right off.
#
"Dekhe woh idher, (She looks in my direction)
Haske bekhaber, (Unkowingly smiling)
Thamke dil ham khare hein! ( Holding my heart I'm here standing!)
Ghumsum see nazar (A lost look)
Uski hey maghar (Is in her eyes, but)
Honto pey Shikwe Parde hein (A complaint on her lips!)
Baat banjeye tho, (If we click)
Mei baath cherdoo Zarra!" ( I'll make it go further!)
#
Julia looked daggers at Jin, who was being carried by the waiters just above
her. However the crowd was cheering wildly.
#
"Ruk ja o dil deewane (Stop oh crazy lover)
Pooncho tho me zaraa," (May I ask)
Julia turned away but was stopped by Jin who was staring at her but was trying
to hide his desire and leaned closer to her, however in the end she ducked down
and crawled away. She stood up but Jin somehow managed to corner her again and
leaned closer. She was backing down putting her hands in front of her to
keep him from going any further, thankfully the French girls pulled him back
towards the stage and Jin continued.
#
"Lardki he ya he jadhoo (A girl or Magic)
Kushboo he ya nashaa?" (Incense or desire?)
#
After that the waiters wanted to get involved and so Jin was performing some
tricks in the sense of a dance with all the waiters, he was standing in the
center while they danced at the sides. After that they left and Jin continued
the song with the dancing rosebuds!
#
"Mehfil mei haseen, Tu hee to nahee (In the crowd, the beauty is not only
you,)
Rooti thoo kislay akaylee?" (So why are you sulking alone?)
#
Julia sat back down to the dinner table with Jin's and her enthralled friends.
Xiaoyu patted her arm in a sarcastic/sympathetic way.
#
"Jis pey ye fidhaa (This someone...)
Ye dil ho gaya, (That my heart accepted,)
Wo to hey theri ik saheli! (Is a friend of yours!)
#
Jin pointed towards their table however he pointed towards Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu was
glowing with happiness and laughing, however Julia just rolled her eyes. Jin
jumped so high, it was almost like he was flying and went towards their table.
#
"Maan wo jaye tho, (If she agrees,)
Bahon mei lenlo Zaraa! (I'll pull her into my arms!)
#
With that he asked Xiaoyu and took her hand into his, he was very aware at
Julia's angry face, but he certainly noticed her concealed slightly angry eyes. He took Xiaoyu to the center of the stage and danced with her, they
blended together...nicely!
#
"Ruk ja o dil deewane (Stop oh crazy lover)
Pooncho tho me zaraa," (May I ask)
#
Those annoying saxo-phonists, two this time at either side blew into her face
from behind and front, she covered her ears and scrunched her eyes in order to
stop going deaf!
#
"Lardki he ya he jadhoo (A girl or Magic)
Kushboo he ya nashaa?" (Incense or desire?)
#
Julia stood up (to get away from the musicians) and stalked around the stage
where Xiaoyu and Jin were dancing, was there a bit of jealousy in her step Jin noticed? Then he jumped towards Julia's retreating back and touched her
shoulders, ARGH what a crime!
#
"Paas woh ai tho, (If she comes close)
Chooke meh denkhoo Zaraa!" (I'd want to touch her!)
#
He clutched his hands on hers and their gaze locked, his filled with mischief
while hers in shock and horror at his shameless act. He took Julia onto the
stage dancing with her, well she was rather being dragged by him. Then he lifted
her and went to the center while all the dancers were skipping, he let her down
and looped his one hand around her waist and the other holding her hand. All the
time her shocked eyes never left his, her mouth open aghast! He twirled her away
from him then pulled her back, a bit too close but he was dancing, her hands on
his shoulders, what could she do, she had no choice. All the time the dancers'
hands were raised above their heads circling them and clapping. Then the final
note was done and he cradled Julia in his arms. To all the applause Jin dropped
Julia onto the stage, and I mean dropped her and climbed over her to wave kisses
at his audience, who were madly in love with his voice, dance,
looks...everything! Julia stared aghast at him while he left to 'absorb' the
fame.

"Ruk ja o dil deewane ,Pooncho tho me zaraa," sang Xiaoyu and Anna
with delight behind her. She stared at them angrily and they shut up hanging
their heads.
They were walking in a beautiful park, the sun was high yet Julia's spirit were
as low as they could get. She wore some jeans and a denim jacket, her hair in a
single plait. Nothing too elaborate, yet it still didn't stop her from looking
beautiful. Nina was walking at the back as usual, her head in thought, she was
wearing a long black skirt with a belt and a small black polo-necked cardigan,
her hair pulled into a pony tail. Anna insisted also on wearing a skirt, it was
rosy red and unlike Nina's denim one it was cotton. It was short but she was
still looking beautiful without looking dis-respectable, she wore a furry
scarlet coat over her small polyester top. Xiaoyu was wearing her hair in it's
usual style and she had a blue and white checkered pleated skirt with thigh
length socks and cute black boots. She had a sleeveless white top tucked neatly
into her skirt. Funny how all the clothes seemed to be matched?
As Julia turned around she saw Jin and his two sidekicks. Law was dressed in
formal attire with a mini camera clutched in his hands while Paul was just
dressed as...Paul. Jin was also wearing denim jeans and jacket with his T-shirt
sticking out, his head was hung low. Julia looked at him with a question on her
face, with Anna and Xiaoyu completely bewildered, however Nina had a knowing
smirk on hers.
Jin looked at Paul who sympathetically looked at him and patted his shoulder to
say 'It'll be alright', Jin gathered his courage and went towards Julia.
"I-I'm so ashamed of what happened last night, I m-misbehaved!" Jin squeaked
reluctantly, and with that, behind his jacket he delicately brought
out a beautiful, fully blossomed rose all it's petals like his own lips,
"I'm sorry..."
Julia looked at the rose, then to him, then she turned for her friends
approvals. Nina's smirk was wiped off and Xiaoyu obviously thought it right to
forgive him so she nodded smiling to Julia while Anna also did the same. She
walked closer towards Jin.
"I'm really very sorry!" Jin said looking at her while his stray
strands of hair fell over his face, Julia looked up at him, his eyes seemed so
sincere. She smiled up at him.
"It's okay!" she assured.
She took the rose still in his hands, they smiled warmly at each other looking
into each others eyes compassionately. He came closer to her and smiled.
"Urm...One more thing..." Jin said still smiling, now a bit mischievously.
"What?" Julia asked softly staring into his face smiling.
"This!" he smirked, while squeezing the flower and the rose squirted cold
water into her face, for such a small flower it brought too much water wetting
her fringe and face. She screamed while Jin laughed with utter delight. He left
the rose to her, ran towards Paul and Law who he high-fived and shouted for them
to run. Julia looked at him disgusted and threw the flower towards the place
where the demon had stood.
