Memories of Sidyusha!

Usha was born in an upper middle class family in Hyderabad.She has an younger sister name Sandhya.Not that much age difference .They are only an year apart.Usha's father is a business man,which he inherited from his grand Father.

Both were girls,so the family is against spending money in private schools.Usha’s mom and dad are pretty much against it but are forced to do.They both studied in government schools. Usha was very good at studies but not Sandhya.Sandhya is very good looking and very charming.While she was into her Bachelors degree in the first year,she got a match from the same village where Sandya’s dad was born.Usha was against Sandy's wedding at a very young age.She was just 18.Even she was not happy.But some how very one convinced her?

At that time I was away from home ,I was in the first year of med school.I was very unhappy that I was unable to convince my own parents.I went to attend my sisters marriage and felt bad.i can see her very stressed but nothing I can do .Luckily she got a husband,who suits her very well.Sandhya is very short Tempered and lacks patience.She is very protective of her family and very straight forward.In that way couple jelled very well.Eventhough she was unhappy in the beginning and realized how lucky she was and moved on with her life.

Usha on other hand is struggling in med school with her seniors.Being away from home made her more home sick.Just 15 days before her sister's marriage is settled.She has decided to join med school in Manipal.First few days was fun ragging but later it started getting on my nerves.One day a group of students from final year,caught me at the entrance of the college.I was already not in good mood because I noticed there is one guy who started following her every where.She has no details about him.But that day she noticed,he was in that gang.I heard them calling him Jagan.There first question was ,when you get married will you cook for your husband? In my mind I was like I want to cook all of you now,that thought it self brought a smile on my face.When they saw me so reckless and smiling not answering the question.Jagan stepped out from the group and answer them if not you will be punished severely.I just looked at him in my mind(pora,means get lost).I said I will make my husband cook.With my arrogant answer and the way I was standing.They named me Miss Arrogant.They started singing the song women world as woke up and now it is time for men to cook.They all are hooting Miss arrogant and my face turned red.Along with them Jagan also joined.That day ended that way.

Part-2

I went to the hostel very stressed that day laughing at my own behavior.I was feeling so uneasy and there is this feeling inside telling me that something is going to happen.That day morning I got the news that my classmates and seniors had a big fight regarding me.I was thinking why r they fighting over me?The news spread thru the college campus.I was so scared but then thought I did not do anything wrong.With all these thoughts in mind entered the college and I saw Jagan.I just walked quitely with my head down and asked my friend Kavya to keep an eye on him.Went in to the class and sat in the class room.I told Kavya, I don't have to see that looney tone (he kind of has funny voice,so named him looney tone)for next four hours.

Kavya whispered and said don't be that happy ,look thru the Window.There he was talking to his friends (my classmates whom I don't talk too)

It is just an excuse. Well,Days went by the same Person was following me every where like a body gaurd in the college and Outside the college.My friends started teasing me,we are safe with Usha where ever we go because we have an unpaid bodyguard.

Jagan is very good looking. His height is around 5.10 with wheatish skin color and above all he has a beautiful smile .His presence is every where in the college.I heard he is the only son to his parents and his dad is a well known politician .Kavya and me are waiting for the auto.We found out that day that public transportation is on strike and only few auto's and emergency vehicles are running.It is the month of February feels like peak summer.Look at my luck,I had one class that day at 12.30.All my friends,decided to wear a saree.I do like wearing saree but draping it properly is a problem because I am skinny and my height is average around 5.4 and with brownish skin color.Kavaya helped me with draping the yellow saree.You can imagine my situation no auto's walking to college is a trouble. Just walked few steps and I see Jagan telling Kavya something.I see an auto stopped next to me.Kavya said thankyou to Jagan and few of my other friends jumped in to auto and I just have no choice.

Days passed by the finals date came ,I was in first year and he was in second year.In college everyone knows that Jagan loves Usha but know one talks infront of him. I have exactly one month for my exams.With all these things going around I felt suffocated and choked,I was unable to focus on my studies.I called my mom and told the situation .She adviced me to go to grandma's place and prepare for the exams.My mom is my best friend and confidant.My dad is a hiltler.So,I booked my tickets to my grandma's place takes about 8 hours in the train.The train is at 8 pm.My friends came and helped me board the train.I sat in the train in my reserved seat and looked to the side and there he was sitting and starring at me.My heart was beating so fast I could hear my own heart beat.I was not happy following me where ever I go.But,later I found out he was going to his place which is 30 min from my grandma's place.

With all this going,we finished our finals and the results came.I became topper that year with all the tensions I went thru. I heard Mr bodyguard also did good .

Note : this is the only story I wrote,i never edited or proof read,just posting as it is. If any mistakes forgive me. Thank you

Part-3

That is the first day of college.We all are very excited because the whole batch passed and no one was left behind.There is one more reason for the excitement,that we are seniors and we can enjoy ragging.We enjoyed the first day ragging some students but at the same time felt bad for the students who were ragged by my seniors.The next day we got a notice that ragging is banned one hundred percent.Being in second year we got to move in with my seniors. I have my room shared with two other girls.My senior's name is Shreya,she is in the same class as Jagan.That was another tough year.I don't know what I have in store for myself.It is the same routine as first year ,only thing that has changed is I am in second year.

Everyday as I enter the college, my eyes look for him.It is not love for Usha but it became a habit.I know how much I am brewing inside and one day I know I will pop .I am going to the lab and noticed that Jagan also had lab on the same floor.I have to pass by his lab to enter my lab.Jagan group was very loud and Jagan made a comment look at miss Arrogant.Like a wind I went to him and said loudly,what do you think about yourself?You follow me where ever I go and now you are calling me miss Arrogant.

Ok so be it,I am arrogant and I don't understand what's your problem.I boldly said all this and at the end I told ,look mr.looney tone,you better don't follow me.I trotted back in to the lab as if some one chasing me.

I didn't realize ,at that moment,I was very happy that I was able to slam at him .Kavya said what did you do?I looked at Kavya and said I should have done this long time ago.Kavya said you hurt his ego in front of his class and our class.When she said that I was really scared because no one in the college ever talks back to hi. I was very worried went to hostel and my roommate got the news.She just looked at me and did not say anything.That worried me the most and I don't know when I fell asleep.

Part-4

Next day morning I woke up and dressed up and rushed to the college .When I entered the college ,my eyes were looking for him.But did not see him any where.Kavya said stop looking here and there.People are talking about you.nwhat a difference in his presence no one uttered a word.Days went by and it has been exactly one week,there he appeared in the hallway and crossed each other.At least I was happy to see him.Later,I,found out that is grandma passed away and that is the reason for his disappearance.

One mid afternoon,came from college to have lunch and some one knocked my door and i opened it.It was the post man,who has stack of cards .He made a comment saying !Some one who is in madly in love with you.(koi pagal deewana).His comment made me grinned at him and he just gave the cards and left.I looked both sides of the hallway and I noticed no one.Quickly entered the room and counted the card s first and noticed there were 139 cards.Dont' know why I got 139 cards.Opened the first card,it said I am very sorry .No name and All

The cards have different Printed messages,same hand written message,

It read like this,

I am sorry my love,I can imagine how much Pain you endeared in the past one year.

The very first day I saw you,I thought you we're meant for me,

The day I saw you wearing the yellow saree you looked like moon,

My love for you is true and I feel the Pain you went though ,

My dear love,i love the way you are,

Your simplicity and down to earth personality touched my heart,

,

You mesmerize me with your innocent smile,

It's your eyes that caught my eyes,

It went on like that,if it is some one else ,they should have fell for him,

Being mr.Arrogant my heart did not melt but became overconfident,

All the cards read the same message with out a name.

I know the cards were sent by Jagan

Part-5

Then next few days took toll on me.with so much going around,I was completely drained out.That night I called my mom and my Rakhi brother told them,what is going on with me.My brother offered to come,but I stopped him saying I want to resolve this issue my self.The next few days I got a total of 2000 cards.This is going out of control .I am going to college ,Jagan is pretending as if nothing happened.Only difference is before he used to stand by himself at the entrance of college or class.Now,he is standing with a group of friends.I never paid attention to his friends?That is last day of college before Diwali,I entered the college and saw Jagan and group of his friends.In that group,I saw a guy, who is tall (about 6 feet) with well built body.(you can tell by looking at him that he works out regularly) .He smiled at me and I just turned my face and walked in to my class.

There was a notice that all 3 rd years are going go attend a Medical conference in Mumbai .Which is mandatory for them.They also suggested if any one from second year want to Join they are more then Welcome.Hearing that news I was very happy that at least I will not see them for 10 days.I want to go home for Diwali but It takes about 8 hours.I dropped the idea and decided to celebrate with my roommate Shreya.I was thinking my life is becoming too filmy and I want this to end soon.I was thinking about the stack of cards,not right word to use ,I should say bag of cards in front of me about 2000 cards of all sizes.Why 2000 cards wth out a name? If they are infront of me ,I will be more affected .so,I threw all of them in trash.Shreya said ,Why did you threw them in trash?I did not feel like answering her,just grinned at her,felt like all my sadness became her glee.

The next day me,kavya and Shreya and her best friend we all went to the temple.To my surprise I saw Jagan and few other friends.I know this not coincidence it is planned by them.Shreya introduced them to each of them and I relaized one of the guy is the same guy ,who smiled at me the other day.His name is Sid.I just said hello to everyone and left.

My roommate is insisting me to come to Mumbai .I felt like they are setting me up.First,I have to get an approval from my Hitler Dad,the reason why I say,because he does not like me talking or mingling with guys.Other then that he is gem of a Dad.I asked mom to convince dad.Before I said yes,they added my name and paid for the trip.They already booked the tickets before I am aware of it.Later,I found out this whole Mumbai trip is organized by Jagan.This is becoming like a Mystery story .

Another,bad news,not even single girl from my class is coming.

Part -6

I ams not really excited about the trip to Mumbai.They dragged me in to it.I am so worried about the trip.Felt very home sick,want to keep my head in my mom's l ap and want to cry loudly.But,she is miles away.If I call her I will cry and mom will be miserable and worried .This is my pain, I have to endure it and end it.The day was so gloomy ,I felt very low that day.

Looking at my condition ,Kavya came like an angel !

She said ,----''cheer up ! Nothing will happen,go with positive mind .bYou will be ok and have fun.

I know the last few months are really rough, but still you did good! Look at yourself,you look very depressed.Since,your train is at 8pm.Lets go for lunch and from their go for a movie.'' ---

Thats exactly what we did !

As I said before I was followed by someone,this time I did not see any one familiar at the cinema hall.Its only me and Kavya .We sat in the theater and the movie started.The movie DDLJ is playing.The theater is pretty much empty.In the balcony or first class it's only two of us me and Kavya.Half the way thru the movie right before intermission,Kavya said she has to use the restroom.She asked me if I want to come with her.I said no and she left me by myself?I was feeling restless sitting by my self.It should have been nice ,if I should have gone with her.

I was looking back towards the door ,a tall figured guy entered in to the balcony class,Kvaya as been gone for almost 5 min.The guy sat behind me and I became more restless and more worried.When i am restless I start biting my nails.That's what I was doing now !

The voice behind me said ,---''Janu,you want something to eat??

I just thought I will ignore him then answering me back.Its almost 10 min and I was really cursing Kavya for putting me in to that situation.The guy behind me quickly bent over and whispered in to my ear.Janu you are my heart beat and I can't live without you and said I love you.He put a bag in my lap and quickly disappeared .I saw Kavya coming thru the door with a tray holding popcorn drinks and samosas.

I was in a shock and I know that voice..Where did I hear that voice?

Kavya saw him talking to me. That's what I am trying to figure out. I started doubting Kavya and said are you part of the plan. She didn't get offended with my words. She understood my state of mind.

I did not open the bag he gave me. I regret for not looking in the bag at that time.The end played on the screen.I thought I heard my name and asked Kavya if she heard the name.Then I heard the song by U2.

"Usha (Hold Me Close)"

The star

That gives us light

Has been gone a while

But it's not an illusion

The ache

In my heart

Is so much a part of who I am

Something in your eyes

Took a thousand years to get here

Something in your eyes

Took a thousand years, a thousand yearsHold me close, hold me close and don't let me go

Hold me close like I'm someone that you might know

Hold me close the darkness just lets us see

Who we are

I've got your life inside of me

Once we are born, we begin to forget

The very reason we came

But you

I'm sure I've met

Long before the night the stars went out

We're meeting up again

Hold me close, hold me close and don't let me go

Hold me close like I'm someone that you might know

Hold me close the darkness just lets us see

Who we are

I've got your life inside of me

The stars are bright but do they know

The universe is beautiful but cold...

By the time I looked at the screen almost the whole song

Was played.

Thought it is so unusual they playing a english song.Kavya thought it will be refreshing but instead by condition worsened and i look pathetic. Went to the hostel and left the bag on the bed the guy gave me,!

Took the suitcase and packed all things for the trip.Quickly took shower and dressed up.Then my eyes fell on the bag ,I opened the bag there is a card which has the same exact message and at the bottom it read ,I can n't believe you forgot my hand writing and here is the second clue,once the movie ends you will see your favorite song playing on the screen.Along with it ,there is an iPod watch with all my Favorite songs.Don't worry Jaan(my life) i am coming to the trip.Watch for me!!

Part -7

That evening we all boarded the train .That is second class sleeper compartment .The whole compartment is full of students. At least if my guess is right,the cards are not sent by Jagan.Because the card I got in cinema hall also as same handwriting and reason I got 2000 cards because that is the year 2000.My eyes are searching for him.

I know he his some where close by.I sat next to my roommates Shreya and her best friend Divya. I was really hungary and asked Shreya ,if she can give company.So,that I can grab something from the platform before I could say anything ,a bag full of goodies are in front of me.That was really scary.The thought itself brought goosebumps all over the body.Shreya said eat.how long you will hold it.Don't think too much.In my mind,I was saying to myself,about Shreya.It is very easy to give advice but when it comes to you, you will understand .

These days I feel every one knows about me but except me. I don't feel like eating but I have too.Its been few days,I ate properly and I can hear the growling sounds of my stomach.I feel very lethargic and recently was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (an auto immune disorder)

Just lifted my face looking around.On our side there are six girls and opp side also same number of boys.I looked across and found Jagan looking at me.In my mind I was thinking this idiot has nothing to do,but just stare at me always.(yeh ladka gada hai,oh!gur gur ke kaise dek rahi hi ) I just turned my face and opened the bag.I saw my fav five star and little hearts .All my friend's ,I mean my seniors are playing anthakshri.I was not interested in playing.So,ate little hearts and fivestar .They all started pulling my leg.I became very uncomfortable .To avoid any embrassing situation,I told Shreya I am feeling sleepy.I was sitting at the window ,so I curled up my self and used my

dupatta as a blanket to cover my face.I know that is not enough.I was thinking about the guy and his words.His voice sounds familiar.Who can it be?i slowly fell asleep.By the time I woke up every one are sleeping.There was a dim light and I noticed the time was 2am.It is another 6 more hours.I noticed a soft blanket on me and at the corner of the blanket two letters are stitched.I was unable to see exactly what the letters are? I have to use the rest room badly but at that hour,I am scared to go by myself.Whole compartment was so quite.I noticed Shreya sleeping on the opposite berth(sleeper).I want to wake her up but she was in deep sleep.She already has sleeping issues, decided not to bother her. I rolled on the Berth, but unable to sleep.If you have to go ,you have to go.I woke up and saw Jagan sleeping on the other side.I noticed some one coming from other side.I can barely see him because he is away from me. I want to go back and sleep on my berth but I know it is a bad idea.so,walked to wards bathrooms and noticed both bathrooms (restrooms)are occupied.I stood for a few minutes aganist the wall and cursed my own luck there came the tall figure.He did look familiar.He just stood next to me.I have seen him somewhere.Where did I see him,I gave up and went to the bathroom .when I am out of the bathroom.He is still there,He caught my hand,to my surprise he his the same person Shreya introduced to me,that day in the temple.He pushed me aganist the wall and said I love you.I was completely shocked and shaken up by this act.The train stopped at a station I saw the name Udipi.It is major junction and it stops there about15 min.I cursed my luck.The train stopped and came to complete halt.He took my hand and said lets go .I just followed him silently.His cell phone rang and he picked up and said is everything ready.He hung up the phone.I saw couple of friends rush to him.They said ,hi Usha how are you? I just shaked my head,I forgot my manners and I can hear my own heart beat singing thump thump song. I was recollecting is words,what does he mean by is everything ready?He took me to a place,just couple of blocks away from the compartment (almost at the end of the train)and ours is the third compartment from last.i saw Jagan from far and in my mind I was thinking please come and rescue me.Jagan came running and said what's going here .why are you here Usha? He put the same question ,What's going on Siddharth?

They made an announcement the train is leaving the platform in couple of seconds.I was so weak I can't even run and at right time ,he picked me up and he ran towards the compartment and so did Jagan.Jagan entered the compartment first,that was a moving train,Siddharth holding me and climbing the train is impossible.So,he quickly passed me to Jagan and finally he got in to the train.During this commotion,I lost my conscious.

Part-8

I gained my concisous,I remember all the things that happened,once Sid passed me to Jagan ,I don't remember any thing.I am scared to open my eyes,I was more worried about my dad then me.What if some one calls him tell him,what was going on here?The thought of Dad coming to know all this shook me terribly .I can see my body shivering and also feel I have fever.I hear Shreya calling Sid go and get your blanket.She is shivering.After sometime I was ok.Shreya covered me with the blanket.I pretended as if I am sleeping.I heard a cell phone ring,It was Shreya talking to Saanchi.Hope things will get normal between them.Time will heal all wounds. I heard her talking to Saanchi about his habit of writing dairy,When Siddharth feels hurt.Shreya said to Saanchi,I can see his dairy in the side pocket of his luggage.Sorry! I can't do that.May be Saanchi asked her to check the dairy.I know I am very close friend of Sid but still I can check it with his permission .By listening to their conversation I can guess their caliber of Frienship.Sid came to check on me I guess.She as fever but her body is week.Sid your sister Saanchi on the other line she wants me to check your diary.Shreya do you have to ask me and once I commit to my friends.I am an open book to them.Unless they distance themselves then I will close my self.I thought you know me better then anyone Shreya.What ever didi asks please take care of it.Then I guessed She is older then Sid.This is what she read to Saanchi ,

Ship of Friendship is cracked,

Being the owner of the ship,

I can never give up,

I make new friendships,

To mend my cracked ship,

I will not gossip around ,

Never did,will do now ,

With Love and care,

My love will forgive me,

I love you Usha !

Some friends are not meant to be my friends,

I have to let them go for good,

But will be true to myself,

And will be true to my friends,

True friends will sail with me,

So,that this cracked ship,

Will never sink,

Life lessons learned ,

Never will be repeated.

My mind is racing like a horse with thoughts.I know he is not my friend.Is he talking bout Jagan and his friendship.Should be,I barely know him.With all these thoughts in mind I fell asleep.

Shreya woke me and said I will help you to freshen up.I was scared to open my eyes and look around.How can I do this? I can't hold my tears and cried .Shreya comforted me.With the help of Shreya I took baby steps to wards the restroom.I saw jagan from his face I can tell he his very upset.Then my eyes started looking for Sid.There he was at the same spot,where he started the hoopla.From is face,I can tell he his upset. To be continued

Sneak. Peek- part 9

Sid was in deep thoughts ,he is upset for the whole fiasco he created and how stupid I was ,I want to express my love on a flat form in the middle of the night.What if some thing happened to her.The thought of it self quivered him.As I got out of the restroom and I feel so shaky ,when I saw my pic I felt like screaming looking in the mirror and first I thought I look like alien.My weight was about 110 but now I may about 98 pounds.Came out of thoughts ,I felt two strong hands lifted me and that Is nan other then Sid. I looked in to his eye,but he was not looking at me.The intense smell of his perfume churned my stomach.I know I will throw any min and he put me down and said sit.By then the smell churned my stomach and I know I will puke,with my expression he got the hint.He put both of his hands in front of me and I puked in to his hands and saw one single tear rolled from his eye.

And I noticed two more eyes watching me but unable to do any thing.At that moment I fell helpless and mera dil piglan rahe hi[ my heart is melting for him]Being Miss Arrogant unable to accept this.i noticed everyone getting things ready and relaized we are almost close to the destination.I heard some one saying in about 20 mintues.I saw Sid calling Shreya and said please feed her.He got some hot idli and spirite.i said too Shreya ,I don't feel like eating.He said you look like group of bones put to gether covered with a piece of cloth .(boyalku mudda ku oka gud da kapinatu undi) .In mind that's why you fell in love with me. I could not control my laugh.Looking me laughing,he gave that pouted kind of smile.I thought in my mind there is something charming about him.He gave the the food and walked away.

I can see everyone's eyes on me and I became the hottest topic of the trip .

I ate the idili and gutted it down with spirite.At that moment I decided ,I have to come out of this ,so that I can enjoy the trip.Don't know what is in the store,but had a feeling something bad is going to happen.I notice every one packing things and I saw the blanket engraved with the letters SU.I guess we call it monogrammed.Next to it ,I saw Sid dairy and slipped thru my bag. I thought no body saw me but that was Shreya's Plot.Which I found out later.Sid came and asked Sheya where is my dairy.She said it is in the right hands will give it to you once you reach the guest house .The train stopped in Mumbai ,everyone started getting down.Sid screamed saying this is the last stop.So you can come leisurely.

Wow, Nado, where do you get such exotic, unique quotes, so prolific, so meaningful!

Now birthday season will start among family and friends, feel like eating cake, Madi, our official cake supplier, please provide some!

Have a good day all, enjoy!

Thanks Vibha. ❤️ I'm glad you like them. There's a lot I haven't been able to share with you because the translation I manage to get from google is bad.

I first translate everything into English and then translate it again from English into Serbian. If that translation doesn't make sense, then I give up. Shorter texts translate quite well. Longer texts hard. Poetry cannot be translated like that. It happened to me that, despite my work and desire, I was not able to share with you what I wanted. I came to terms with that. That's why I'm happy when I succeed, when you understand me and when you like it. 😳
