Kabhi Joo Badal Barse
(A sequel to monsson night's dream)
Chapter One
Kabhi jo baadal barse
Main dekhoon tujhe aankhein bharke
Tu lage mujhe pahli baarish ki duaa
"What?!! You gotta be kidding me?!!" my face dropped as the person in ticket counter confirmed my doubt. "arey mam main mazak nahin kar raha hoon.. aap news nahin dekhti kya?!! Tez barish ki wajah se CST se janewali sari train cancel hoo gayi hain.. 24 ghante se pahele aap koo koi train nahin milegi... aap ki Kashmir janee wali train sayad kaal chutegi... woo bhi agar barush kaa pani line se utra too..." The old fellow peeped through the window and confirmed my doubt. "Ohh noo!!!..." I stomped my feet and dragged my vanity and bag along with me. I looked at the crowded floor of CST where all visitors were waiting for more than 24 hours just to catch their train. From yesterday, the heavy down pouring had messed the daily life of Mumbai. Trains, buses all kind of transportations were banned. There was crisis in everything like electricity, water supply, telephone services and the roads of mumbai's were almost transformed into small streams of muddy waters. Gosh!! I came almost drenching in those muddy streets just to catch the train for shrinagar but as I reached the station I heard the announcement about cancelling the trains. I rushed towards the counter and I got the news. God!! How much I had to suffer?!!
My medical collage semester exam just finished and I was all set to go to Kashmir on my vacation. Ishan and momma were so eager to meet me after long and even I was excited but that stupid rain spoiled my every plan!!! God... I almost felt like crying. Huffing angrily I started to move out from CST terminus with my heavy vanity and bag. Was there a single day when I wouldn't face any problem?!!
"Tu naa humesha, har cheez pe tere koo problem nazar ati hain!!... choti si baat koo aise gol gol ghumake jalebi bana deti hain... tujhe naa doctor nahin halwai ban na chahiye tha... bole too woo jalebi bi!!..."
His words suddenly hit my mind and automatically my feet stopped and an abrupt smile crept on my face. Even his small thought was enough to cheer out me from my worst condition. The crowds were moving around me but suddenly I felt so alone there. He was not with me at that moment. I looked through the arches of building and the clouded sky got into my notice. The heavy downpour reminded me about the day just a month before. That rainy night where we both ended up unwillingly in the forest together and then, those awkward but still overwhelming moment and his unusual care for me. Everything made me spellbound at that moment. I couldn't found a reason for his care towards mine. I was puzzled about everything. I couldn't understand him not even those new profound mysterious feeling which I was having at that moment. But just like a flash appeared the most unexpected thing hit me and shook me all over. I couldn't even believe at that moment that the person who irritated me like hell in each and every moment had actually feelings for me and when the next day he confessed everything I was again shook by the intensity of his words.
He loved me!!!... A girl like me, who was nothing but an unwanted to the world, a girl who always considered him nothing but as a gunda, still he loved me, silently without even giving a single glint... he fell for me from the very first day he saw me and cherished his love all alone in his heart, also the pain of my ignorance, he had everything all alone in his heart.
I was overwhelmed but also feeling sad for hurting him. Truly I never tried to understand his feelings. But his single gentle warm hug took away my every guilt. Soothe my all wounds which I was having in me after my father's death. He literally gave back my life on that day.
I still remembered the moment when his lips touched mine. I was lost remembering those moments. I forgot that I was standing in the middle of crowd of CST. My eyes were closed and I was smiling like a fool. I knew the people who were moving at my sides were shooting there confused glance to mine. But I literally didn't care. My hand moved up and touched my lips. I remembered after our confession; how I was behaving like mad at that night. I was getting hyper and moving allover in my room as he was not calling me. I was thinking about to call him but I was feeling so embarrassed. Thank god I was all alone in my room. "Antara... don't be afraid... just call him... girl!! He had confessed ... now u have to take the step... Go antara..." I was charging up myself with those words and still feeling so nervous. "Jai mata di... jai bhole baba..." I reminded each and every god and deity's name I could remember. Man even in my exam paper I was not that tensed. "Antara ready?!! one two three!!..." I counted and grabbed the phone. I felt my thumbs were shaking when I dialed his number. I was having sweat drops even it was not that hot! When I heard the first ring my hand literally became ice and my heart just jumped out of cage. And just with the third ring I cut the phone. God!! It's not good. What I was doing... I was behaving like a stupid first standard girl. At that moment my cell rang. I saw his no flashing and my heart again ran faster like superfast engine. I continued to look towards the screen dumbly for a while. Then after gulping my saliva at last I received the call. I sat on my bed frozen holding my phone in my ear not able to say a single word. Even there was a big pin drop silence at the other side too. After a [rolonged dumb moment his deep voice hit my ear.
"Eee misscall... mooh mein dahi jam gayi kya?!!" he asked his usual tone from other side. in response my mouth opened and nodded my head instantly in denying posture. "Oye moondi ghumana bandh kar... aur baat kar yaar... apun kaaa phone kaa bill bhi kat raha hain..." he said in irritating voice. How mean!!.. "ttt... tumhe kaise pata main mundi hila rahi hoon... tum mujhe dekh rahe hoo kya?!!..." I asked in stumbled voice as I looked here and there cautiously. "Huh!!..." I heard his deep sigh from the other side. "Idhar udhar dekhna bandh kar... relaaax, apun chupke nahin baotha hain tere ghar pe.. abhi apun apne khatiye pe mauj se leta huya hain..." he said again in teasing voice. my eyes widened again. "Tum kaise bataa rahe hoo kii main kya kar rahi hoon..." I was literally panicking at that moment. I heard his giggle from the other side. "Haso mat!!..." I said a bit angrily, "Tumhe bahut maza aa raha hain naa... pata hain mujhe kitni tension hoo rahi hain... pasine choot rahe hain mere..." I said like an idiot. God!! what I was saying to him. I wanted to bang my head on floor. "Antara kaul you are a gone case..." I told to myself. His laugh increased. "raghu!!..." I said in miffed voice. "Misscall... pahele ek kaam kar... ek lambi si saans lee..." he told me. "Sans loon?!!... Kyun?!!!...mujhe too breathing problem nahin hain... sab normal hain!!" I said in confusion. "Oye meri doctorni... kuch der ke liye apni doctor dimag koo tala laga aur apun ki baat sun..." he said. So I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I remained silent for a moment and felt much better. "Thik hain?!!" he asked with concern. "haan!!... thank you..." I said as a smile crept on my face. "Kya baat hain misscall... aaj too thank you kii line lagi huyi hain subha se..." he teased again. "Shut up..." I said in embarrassment. "Shut up?!!... thik hain.. tere koo baat nahin karni too bola pun phone koo shut up kar dete hain..." he said. "AREY NAHIN NAHIN!!!..." I almost jumped on the bed. It almost felt like I could feel he was smirking on the other side of phone. "Too bol naa kya baat karni hain?!!" he asked me. "Wohi too nahin pata..." I said scratching my head. I again heard his chocking laugh on other side. That time I didn't felt irritated and also joined his laugh. I understood that how foolish I was behaving with him. I laughed like hell sensing my foolishness and really thanks to him for taking my blabbers all that long. Then we started to talk to each other letting out our heart and it felt like eternal. We didn't know that there were so many things buried inside us for each other. We talked and talked, laughed together. Sometimes his deep intense voice made my heart flutter like hell. I was afraid that he could hear my frantic heartbeat even through that phone. Honestly, his voice had magnetic hypnotizing charm. I was suddenly feeling a strange feeling to get him by my side at that moment, to hide myself in his warm hold when the chill air of rain was shivering me. I was feeling sad as I couldn't see him in front of my eyes. I just clutched the phone tightly which was giving me the feeling of his presence... his voice. I didn't know when I slept while talking to him on that night hugging that phone to my chest.
I opened my eyes and laughed hiding my red chicks. the crowd seemed a bit low on CST due to heavy rain. I looked up. While I was irritated due to bad weather just after some moments ago, suddenly the irritation changed into merriness. After all that rain was the witness of our bond. It's been long two days I didn't meet him. During my exam, he came to pick me in his jeep with falguni. Till the collage we didn't talked to each other much in road as I was tensed due to my papers and falguni was also with us. But still his piercing gaze which were all fixed to mine gave me chill inside every moment. When we reached the collage, before going inside, I always looked back to check him standing near his jeep. As I moved back, with a huge grin he always wish me luck showing me a thumbs up. Giving him a great full smile, I moved inside the exam hall with new profound confidence. And also our night chats in phone became our daily habit. That moment no one could stop us and we pour heart to each other.
He literally changed my life beautifully.
He went to puna to drop ajji and falguni yesterday. So I couldn't even meet him after my exam ended. I was feeling sad as I couldn't meet him before leaving Mumbai. But seemed like, my luck didn't permit me to go. I decided to go back to hostel but then I remembered. Oh Fisss!!!!... How could I go back to hostel?!! It was closed already, warden left the holstel just with me hanging the huge lock in collapsible gate. God where would I go?!! I didn't know anyone in Mumbai rather than falguni and her family but even they were not there. falguni told me that they were not gonna come back before one week. God don't tell me I have tio spend whole night in station. No way!! that was not possible for me. CST was not a safe place for a girl alone!! Where I would get a place for shelter in the huge unknown city flooded by heavy rains?!!
With new profound irritation I moved dragging my vanity and at that moment my clumsy feet slipped on the wet floor and I fell down with my vanity and other luggage. "Mamma!!!" I cried in irritation as I found myself seating on the wet floor with my luggage scattered around me. Now it was just the thing left for me!! I tried to wake up but I felt I got sprint on my ankle. God my ankle!! It just needed a chance to get sprint. I was felling hell irritated on myself. "God antara!! why are you so clumsy and accident prone??!!" I asked myself. With a miffed face, I dragged my feet to check on the sprint, when at that moment a hand reached towards mine. I got startled and looked up to meet two pairs of deep dense black orbs flickering concern. My jaw dropped as I found his face leaning on me with his usual frown. But how on earth he could be there?!! He had to be in puna at that moment. Was I dreaming?!! I literally blinked and also rubbed my eyes to see if he was my hallucination but he was still there. His frowning face caught a smirk looking at my antics.
"Yee ankhein faar faar ke kya dekh rahi hain?!! Apun hi hain... koii bhoot naii..." he teased letting out his grin. "RAGHU!!!!!..." I said loudly and was about to jump up from the floor but again ended up in the floor with a painful sound holding my ankle. God!! I forgot about my sprint!!
