Heart's Desire..,Chapter-4,page-33:https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/101538665
CHAPTER-5.
Veera sat numbly beside Baldev,as he drove his jeep towards Delhi..
She had left a letter for her Veerji,and left before he returned from his chore..She was leaving one day earlier than planned,as she was afraid she would break apart if she saw her Veerji while leaving..
She wiped off another stray tear from her face..
She did not like crying,but now it seemed that all she was doing for last two days was only cry..
Angry at herself,she choked back a sob and wiped at her wet cheeks again..
Unaware of constant peeking from the young man beside her,driving the jeep..
Baldev could not help but look at her profile as he drove towards Delhi..His heart squeezing in pain as he saw her silently cry..
He could not help but think what it all meant..Last night he had barely slept,and stayed awake thinking about her..She had such an odd effect on him,and last night he nearly lost his control on himself when he had went to gift her the picture he had dug out from her father's drawer..
His mother had wanted to throw it away,and Baldev had promised to do so,taking it from her,but instead had framed it and gifted it to Veera..
He did not know why he did it..Nor did he know why her tears were hurting him so much..Nor did he know he hated to let her go..
He knew he did not have any right to stop her..Or do anything for her..Or have any feelings for her..But he did..
With a long irritated sigh,he ran his hand through his hair,sparing another frustrated look at her weeping face..
Veera was brought t reality as Baldev suddenly screeched the jeep to a halt..
Getting a grip on herself she looked around,wondering if they had reached Delhi so fast..They had not..
Frowning she looked at the food stalls by which they were all standing..And then she turned to face Baldev who had the most innocent.She frowned deeper..That innocent expression on his face did not quite suit him..Something was definitely fishy..
Getting ready with her stern teacher like look,she was about to snap at him..
"Baldeva!Tu iththe-.."
"Mainu to bauhot bhukh laga hai!Mainu to kulfi khana hai!
[I am really hungry!I need to have kulfi!]"He put in before she could complete her sentence,stupefying her as he instantly jumped off the jeep..
But she pulled at his jacket sleeve,stopping him from leaving..
He looked at her hand on his sleeve,and her face as she leaned halfway across the driving seat to stop him..
"Baldeva-.."
"Aur..Aur pyass bhi laga hai..Mainu gol gappe bhi khana hai!
[And..And I am thirsty too..I have to have gol gappe too!]"He pulled his sleeve free,and strode towards the food stalls..
Dumbstruck Veera sat staring at his retreating back..
"Bhookh laga hai isliye Kulfi khana hai,aur pyaas laga hai iss liye gol gappe khayaega?!Ye pura ka pura pagal ban gaya ki?!Main jab yaha nai hungi to iss ko kaun seedha karega?!
[He is hngry that's why he'll eat Kulfi,and he is thirsty so he will eat gol gappe?!Has he turned completely insane?!When I won't be here,who will straighten him out?!]" As she thought this aloud,the last part of her sentence struck a chord within her..
And suddenly her eyes wide at the realization,she stared at his back as he stood by the kulfi stall..
She was leaving..And she will never see him again..And nor will she be there to fight and try to straighten his bad ways..
Something squeezed at her heart at the thought..She will never see Baldev again..This was the last time..As she knew in her heart she will probably never come back..
Abldev extended his hand to take the kulfi,having no idea as to why he was here..And why actually he had stopped suddenly..It was an impulsive decision by him..Something had urged him to do that and he just did..
Baldev was about to put the kulfi in his mouth,still lost in his confused thoughts,when it was snatched away from his hand..
He turned and stared dumbstruck at Veera,who now had the kulfi in her mouth and savoring its cold sweet taste,with pure bliss on her face,and her eyes closed.
A soft tender smile came on his lips,at her act..
Now he knew why exactly he had the impulse to stop..
With his heart thudding he watched quietly as she sucked on the kulfi stick,and suddenly he felt he had been punched hard on his stomach..
He inhaled a short breath,as her tongue swept at the kulfi..
Shit!What was she doing to him,to be specific to his Goddamn body?!!He cursed himself,unable to move his eyes off her mouth sucking the kulfi..
His heart was nearly bursting out with an unknown desire,and his blood soared through his veins,making him feel hot all of a sudden..
"Ye to mera kulfi tha!Tune kiu lee?!
[This was my kulfi!Why did you take it?!]"He managed to choke out,trying hard to control his gone haywire emotions..
Veera opened her eyes and stared at him angrily..
"Ye meri kulfi hai!Tujhe khaana hai to tu ek aur le le!
[This is my kulfi!If you want one take another!]"She snapped and went on having her..
Baldev smiled to himselfa,and asked the kulfi seller for another for himself..
As he had just bit into it,it was once again snatched just like his earlier one..
Now completely irritated he stared at her,now having both kulfis at the same time and grinning like a cheshire cat..
"Veera!Tu..!"
She raised both her eyebrows at him smiling mischievously like she always did every time she got the better of him,which was always..
Something tugged at Baldev's heart right then..He wished he could frame her mischievous smile in a picture forever..Soon after a few hours..He will not be seeing that smile again..
No one would be teasing him,like she did..No one would be there to fight with him,correct him,or to anger him..
Cause no one ever really affected him the way she did..
And the reality was that she will be gone from his life,within a few hours..
A few hours..His heart squeezed painfully at the thought..And Baldev stared at her face unable to look away, like he was curved out of statue..
"Veera airport aagayi..
[Veera we have reached the airport..]"Baldev said,as he parked his car,and got her luggage out..
Veera quietly got down,and placed her luggage on a luggage trolley.
They shared an eye lock,both not sure what to say t each other..
Finally Veera spoke up..
"Chaal main chalti hu..Aab to tera har din mela hoga pind wich..Main jo kabhi nai hungi tainu satane ko..Apna khayal rakhna..Aur..Aur thodha sudharneki koushish karna..
[Okay I'm leaving..Now you are going to have a merry time everyday in the village..Since won't be there ever to disturb you..Take care of yourself..And..And try to fix your ways..]"She nearly choked out the last words and turned to leave..
Baldev sat numbly in the driving seat and watched her retreating back..
Her words echoing in his head..
A car honked from behind,and he was forced to drive ahead,and leave the airport,back on his way to Pritampura..
Back at Pritampura..
A worried and almost in tears Ranvi ran up to Balwant asking about Veera's whereabouts..
Balwant looked shocked but informed him,that Baldev had taken her to the airport..
Ranvi was almost in tears as he showed Balwant the letter Veera had left..
They needed to stop her from leaving..Cause Veera had left,never to come back,as she had written in the letter to him..They had to stop her before she flew to London,never to return..
Frantically Balwant called Baldev's phone..
Baldev sat in his jeep..
He had not left yet..He sat in the airport parking lot,staring numbly at the empty seat beside him..
Strangely he could still smell her subtle fruity smell..
His heart and mind completely numb of feelings,as the reality barely sunk in..
She had left..In minutes she would be on that plane and leaving for good..Leaving this country for good..Leaving him forever..
Something choked at his heart,and still he waited for the pain to pierce him..
Finally he realized his phone was ringing..
Slowly very slowly..As if his hands were nearly paralyzed he took out his ringing phone from his pocket..
Numb still,he stared at the screen..It was his father who was calling him..
Still he did not receive the phone,but stared on at the screen numbly.
Seconds passed and the line went dead..
Somewhere nearby he could hear some people arguing..Somewhere else cars honked..
And then his phone started ringing again..
Suddenly something struck him,as he stared at the screen of his phone again..
Dropping his ringing phone on the floor of his car he jumped off the jeep and ran towards the entrance to the airport..
He had to stop her before she..
"VEERA!!!"He screamed at the top of his voice..
People stared and eyed him curiously,and ran to where he saw passengers walking with their luggage trolleys..
Some guards stopped him,asking him what was wrong,and the area was restricted..
He stared at them numbly..Not able to think clearly..Not understanding what they wanted..
His shocked mind only knew he wanted to see Veera..He just knew he had to stop her from leaving him forever..
"Veera!Meri Veera..!Wo..Wo London wali flight mein..
[Veera!My Veera..!That..That London's flight..]"He managed to mumble somehow.
"We are really sorry sir..Wo plane fly kar chuki hai..
[That plane has already flown away..]"A guard replied,and instantly the world darkened in front of his eyes..
Suddenly he stopped struggling,and staggered backwards..His hands raised to wipe his face..He stared numbly around..
The words sinking in..
His Veera..Had ..His Veera had left him..
The pain squeezing at his heart suddenly burst out..Its pieces like shards of glasses pierced at his insides and made him bleed..
With a shocked look,pale face and stunned eyes he fell down on his knees,right there at the airport,where people eyed him curiously.
"Veera..Meri Veera.."He whisered out numbly.."Mainu chadhdhke maat ja tu..Main tujhe kabhi tang nai karunga..Kabhi nai..Tujhse kabhi nai jhagrunga..Tu mainu akela chadhdhke maat jaa..
[Please don't leave ne..I will never irritate you..Never..I will never fight with you..Don't leave me alone please..]"He mumbled numbly to himself..
And then he heard the sound of the aeroplane taking off..
That was when he sobbed out..Hot rivulets of endless tears started falling from his eyes..And covering his face,he started sobbing his heart out right then and there in the airport..
Baldev Singh,the Sher of Pritampura broke down in a public airport,crying his heart out for the one girl that irked him the most,fought with him the most,mattered to him the most..
Baldev had finally realised his love for his Sherni..His Veera..And she had left him forever..
His sobs echoed among the buzzing stunned people who had crowded round him..His heart wrenching sobs pierced every heart that were present,but the only heart that should have listened to his Heart's desire at that moment,was far away by then..
