Hey guys! I'm finally here with an update. I know it's been ages that I updated this FF. But I had suddenly become so busy that I couldn't find time to update this one. I'm back that too with a big update. I hope you all like it. This one is dedicated to all the FF writers here who inspire me in a way or other.
ENDLESS LOVE
PART – 1
As soon as the clock struck 5, the alarm rang awaking a peacefully sleeping boy. He woke up, quickly took the clock and switched off the alarm so as to not to disturb the others. He turned to the other side and took a photo frame and brushed his fingers through it and smiled at them and said "Good Morning!"
He then pulled his sheets down and moved toward the washroom. After freshening up, he came out and hung his towel neatly. He wore his white vest and black tracks. He then wore his socks and shoes quickly and took his basket ball and slipped out of the room. Once out of the room, he looked at his dimly lit house and taking careful steps reached the door and unfastened it. He took one last look at the house and sneaked out.
Once out of the house, he started dribbling his basket ball. He boy looked extremely hot and he had a nice body. He dribbled until he reached the end of the school where a huge mountain was there. This mountain was used for learning how to trek at the Army School. As he reached the mountain, he saw a boy of his age sitting on the mountain and eagerly waiting for something. The boy had nice physique and was facing the other side.
The boy with the basket ball said "Good morning Jay!"
The boy on the mountain turned around, smiled and said "Good morning to you too Sammy!" and again turned back.
"So, waiting for the Sun to rise?" asked Sammy.
"Yes buddy! After all, today is the penultimate day here" Jay said pouting at Sammy.
"Aww... don't worry Jay! We will find a nice place for you at Mumbai too" he said smiling at him.
"I hope so! Wait!!! The Sun is about to rise. Now please don't disturb me. I'll click a few photos before it's too late" he said.
"Okay! You carry on! I'll see you at 7. I'm off to the basket ball court" he said and moved towards the basket ball court.
Jay loved photography. He clicked photos of the rising and the setting Sun every day. He was so passionate about photography that he decided to take up a career in it.
Sammy moved towards the basket ball court. On his way, he bumped into a tall and muscular guy. As soon as he looked at the boy his face lit up and he smiled heartily. "Addy! Good morning!!" he said.
"Good morning Sammy!" he said.
"Where were you going?" Sammy asked.
"I was jogging till now and was thinking where to go thankfully you came around. Let's play a match. What say?" Addy asked.
"Sure buddy! Why not? C'mon lets go" he said and pulled Addy with him.
Addy and Sammy moved towards the basket ball court for yet another match. They both were very good players and both belonged to one team. They had never lost to any team but if they played against each other the match would always end up with a draw since neither liked the other to lose.
* * * * * * * *
In the other side of the city, at the Rose Mary Girls School –
It was 5.30 and the alarm rang waking a sleeping beauty. She looked at the time and cursed "Damn clock! It's just 5.30".
Another girl groaned "Just switch off that alarm and go back to sleep"
"Who the hell set the alarm?" the first girl asked.
"Who else can it be?" the second girl said and continued "Let's take care of her later. Now let me sleep once again and please don't utter another word" she said when she saw the first girl open her mouth.
"All right Honey!" the first girl said.
"Thanks Gun" she said and turned around and both fell asleep once again.
* * * * * * * *
At the Army Public School –
It was around 6.30 when Jay came to the basket ball court. Addy and Sammy were having a wonderful match and a lot of students had gathered there. And everyone was so engrossed in the nail biting match that none took a look at Jay. He took a seat and started taking a few photos of his best friends, Addy and Sammy.
* * * * * * * *
At the Rose Mary Girls School –
The Sun rays fell on a peacefully sleeping girl and she was disturbed. She woke up and looked at the opened curtains. She very well knew who had opened them so she went back to sleep by pulling the comforter over her head.
* * * * * * * *
At the Army Public School –
The match was still on and students kept coming to the court. After sometime, when neither of them was willing to give up Jay intervened and asked them to wind up the match as it's almost 7. They decided that this match was also a draw and they quickly moved towards the staff quarters.
Finally when they reached the staff quarters, they quickly moved towards the house which was given for Mrs. Sharma. As soon as they went in, Mrs. Sharma was found watching television and a lot of newspapers were spread before her.
"Good morning Maa!" they said in unison and laughed.
"Good morning Addy, Sammy and Jay! Where is the other one?" she asked.
"In his dreamland!" said Jay smiling.
"Well, that was quite obvious. Why don't you go and wake him up? I've something important to tell you all so be quick" she said.
"What is it Maa?" Addy asked worried.
"Nothing to worry Addy. Everything is fine. Just go and wake him up" she said assuring Addy.
"Okay. We will wake him up. Is the breakfast ready?" asked Sammy.
"Yes sons! Breakfast is ready. Let's have it together. Now go and wake your dear friend" she said moving towards the kitchen.
The trio moved towards their bedroom. They all lived in the school hostel and were allotted a big dormitory but this was staff quarters where there were only two bedrooms that too very small. They only knew how they had been living here for the past one week. They were planning to shift permanently to Mumbai and were waiting for their board examination results which were supposed to come today. That's the reason Mrs. Sharma was watching television and had spread those newspapers in front of her. They had vacated their dormitory and moved into Mrs. Sharma's house.
They entered their bedroom and saw a boy sleeping on his stomach. His legs and hands were in different directions. He had a smile on his face. The Sun rays were disturbing him and he was constantly turning sides. Slowly he turned to his back and raised his hand high and started pulling something. There was nothing there except air! But he didn't stop. He kept groping for something. When the trio watched him, they started laughing.
"Look! Again dreaming about her" Jay said.
"And pulling her near him" said Sammy laughing.
"Guys! Let's laugh later. First let's wake him up" said Addy.
"Right" said Sammy and Jay together and all of them moved toward the bed.
"Manky!! Wake up dear friend! It's already 7.30. Remember, are results will be out today. Wake up buddy!" said Addy softly.
"Addy! What do you think? He will wake up this way?" asked Jay smiling slyly.
"What's the plan, Jay?" asked Sammy understanding the meaning of Jay's words.
"Simple plan buddies! The plan we always follow" he said rubbing his hands.
"I'm not in!" said Addy.
"C'mon Addy! One last time. Pleaseeeeee!!" Jay said and thought "In Delhi!!"
"Yes Addy! Pleaseeeee!!" said Sammy making a puppy face.
"You guys always wake him this way! This time I'm not going to help you. I'm leaving" he said and turned towards the door.
"Please Addy! I promise. This would be the last time" Jay pleaded.
"Okay! I'll remove the sheets" said Addy.
"Thanks Bro! You are the best" Jay said hugging Addy.
"Now if you're done with hugging, can we wake him up?" said Sammy moving towards the bathroom.
Addy removed the sheets. And Sammy fetched a bucket full of cold water and dumped it on Manky! SPLASH!!!!!!!
"What happened? Where is she? Where did she go?" asked Manky fully drenched while the others laughed.
"Good morning Manky! She is gone leaving you all wet" said Jay laughing and high fived with Sammy.
"Good morning guys!" he said looking around as if he was searching for someone.
"Manky! Come out of your dreamland. Your dream girl isn't here. Now wake up and get freshened up and come down quickly" said Sammy.
"Maa is waiting for us. She wants to tell us something important" Addy added.
"And today are results are going to be declared. They said they would declare at 9. It's already 8. We took almost half an hour to wake you up" said Jay.
"What? It's 8? And you guys are waking me now?" Manky asked disbelievingly and looked at the clock on the night stand.
"What? Manky! This isn't fair! We had been trying to wake you up from the past half an hour and you are blaming us?" Jay asked.
"Guys! Stop arguing. Manky go and get freshened and come" ordered Addy.
"Okay. I'll come in 10" he said moving towards the bathroom.
All the four had once been to the Inter-school cultural meet in their 4th grade. It was then Manky had come across a very beautiful girl. She was in a white gown and looked just like a princess. She participated in the fancy dress competition and won the first prize. Manky was so mesmerized by her beauty that he involuntarily started dreaming about her. That was the first time he had ever come across a girl in his life. All years passed by, his dream girl grew along with him. At the moment, he is trying to have a look at her beautiful face. That was the reason he lifted his hand up in the air and was groping for her when the trio entered. Addy, Jay, Sammy and his Mother very well knew about her and always tease him.
The trio came out the bedroom and moved towards the kitchen. In the kitchen, they found that Mrs. Sharma was busy with something.
"What are you doing Maa?" Sammy asked moving towards her.
"Nothing. Just trying to lift all these items ad shift to the dining table" she said.
"Leave it Maa. We will take them" said Jay taking the bowls from her hands.
"Yes. You go out and wait for us on the dining table" said Addy.
"And Manky is up. He will join us in 5 more mins" Jay added.
Mrs. Sharma smiled at them and moved towards the dining table while the trio brought all the items from the kitchen and neatly set them on the table. They were about to sit when Manky came out in his denim blue jeans and white t-shirt looking as hot as ever!!!
"Good morning Maa!" he sweetly wished his Mom.
"Good morning Mayu. Have you over slept again?" she asked.
"Yes Maa" he said looking down.
"Did you see her at least today?" she asked while the other stifled their laugh.
"All thanks to my dear friends. I didn't see her today also" he said glaring at the trio.
"Mayu, you will someday definitely see her. Now have your breakfast" she said serving all of them the very delicious parathas.
"Wow! Parathas!! My favorite! Thank you Maa!!" he said while the others smiled.
They all had their breakfast. Later Addy, Jay and Sammy went to freshen up and Manky helped his Mother in cleaning the dishes.

At the Rose Mary Girls School –
A girl of 17 years is found jogging in the broad daylight! She wore a pink tank top and tracks. She looked exhausted. She moved towards her hostel and passed the corridors and finally reached her room. She opened the room only to find three young girls cozily snuggling in their respective beds. She immediately pulled the sheets from them and tried waking them up.
"Wake up Gun!" she said pulling the sheets of a beautiful girl of her age.
"Wake up Honey!" she said pulling the sheets of a beautiful girl with long tresses.
"Wake up Candy!" she called out to another beautiful girl who woke up instantly.
After struggling for 15 mins, finally Gun and Honey woke up. Both of them rubbed their eyes and stretched themselves.
"Good morning girls" she said lovingly.
"Good morning Nups!" said Gun, Honey and Candy with equal love. And all the four hugged each other.
"Why did you set the alarm at 5.30?" fired Gun pulling out of the hug.
"Because I wanted to jog here for one last time along with you all" Nups said quietly. It was then it struck them that the journey here was about to come to an end.
All the four girls were leaving for Mumbai the next evening. They wanted to do their further studies at Mumbai. They were waiting for their board examination results as well as the results of the National Best Teen Rock Band competition.
"Gals! Now let's get ready, the results will be out in a few minutes" said Nups and moved towards the closet to remove her clothes.
All the girls took their clothes and moved towards the common bathrooms in the hostel. Later, Nups wore a white suit. Gun and Honey wore blue and black suits respectively whereas, Candy wore a pink suit and all looked breath-taking. They all moved towards the common hall where the students are asked to gather.
* * * * * * * *
At the Army Public School –
It was almost 9 and all the students and teachers gathered in the school auditorium. Manky entered in and saw that all the front seats were already occupied. Sammy and Jay wore yellow and red tees and faded blue jeans respectively while, Addy wore a black t-shirt and blue jeans. All looked extremely handsome.
"Guys, let's sit here" Sammy said showing four seats. The other three agreed and all sat down in the last four seats.
* * * * * * * *
At the Rose Mary Girls School -
"Gals, let's sit here" said Gun pointing to four seats. The other three agreed and sat down in the middle of the hall.
* * * * * * * *
Soon the results were announced and they were shocking. Mayank Sharma, Adhiraj Malhotra, Rannvijay Rathod and Samrat Shergill have topped the CBSE examination this year conjointly.
The results were very shocking because, never in the history of CBSE examination did four students secure the same marks. All the news channels and media persons soon reached to the Army Public School photographs were taken and the students were interviewed.
The management of Army Public School was quite pleased with the performance of their students. Later, a felicitation ceremony was organized at both the schools. The Army Public School felicitated Mayank, Rannvijay, Adhiraj, Samrat for their wonderful performance and Mrs. Sharma for nurturing and grooming them so well.
At the same time, the management of Rose Mary Girls School felicitated Nupur, Gunjan, Suhani and Dia for winning the National Best Teen Rock Band award. The girls and the school management were very happy about it. A small party was kept to celebrate their victory at both the schools.
* * * * * * * *
At the Army Public School –
All the four boys were very happy and they came back to their home. Mrs. Sharma was very glad with her children's performance. Jay's parents had called to congratulate all of them so did Sammy's parents.
"Maa, I'm so happy today" said Sammy hugging Mrs. Sharma.
"So are we" said the others.
"I said that I'd tell you something today morning. Remember?" asked Mrs. Sharma out of blue.
"Yes Maa. We were so busy with the results that we had totally forgotten about it" said Addy.
"What is it Maa?" asked Jay.
Mrs. Sharma hesitantly began "I hope you guys understand my situation. We were supposed to leave for Mumbai tomorrow evening but the management of Army Public School, Mumbai wants me to come down tomorrow morning as they want me to give a speech on a particular issue at their school tomorrow. And I'm leaving for tonight's flight" she said and finished.
* * * * * * * *
At the Rose Mary Girls School –
All the four girls were back from the common hall. They were on their way to their room when the hostel warden called them.
"Nupur, Gunjan, Suhani and Dia! There is a call for you." she said.
"Oh! Who is it?" asked Nups.
"It's from your father" the warden replied.
"Wow! Dad is calling? Give me the phone" she said excited.
The warden handed over the phone to Nupur and left from there.
"Hello Dad! How are you? How's your health? When are you coming back to India?" she asked all the questions at him.
"Hello Nups! Congratulations beta. I'm very happy that you all have won the award. You all deserve it. I'm fine. My health is perfectly all right. I'm already in India itself. I'm in Mumbai. When you come to Mumbai day after tomorrow, I'll come to pick you all at the railway station!" he said and continued "How is everyone there?" he asked.
"Thank you very much Dad! And you are in Mumbai? And you didn't even inform us that you will be coming down? Not fair Dad and everyone's fine here" she said pouting.
He laughed at her and said "I'm sorry but I wanted to give you all a surprise. Is Gun there?" he asked.
"Yes. She is here. Just a sec" she said and handed the phone to Gun.
They spoke for a few minutes then she handed over the phone to Honey and Candy as well and then they hung up. They all felt nice after talking to Nups's father. Later Candy's and Honey's parents called and talked to them for a while. Then they moved towards their room to get ready for the party.
* * * * * * * *
At the Army Public School –
"What? Maa! How can you tell us such important thing in a very short notice?" asked Addy completely shocked.
"Yes Maa. How can you leave us all of a sudden?" asked Sammy equally shocked.
"But sons, it's a very important speech. The President of India is also attending it. It's all about the life at the Army Public School and who else can give a better presentation than me" she said.
"I agree Maa, that you are the best. But how can you leave so quickly" asked Jay.
"I didn't tell you this morning since I didn't want to upset you with this news" she said.
While the other three argued with his Mother, Manky was in deep thought. He just couldn't live without his Mother. That was next to impossible. Finally thinking what to do, he spoke up.
"Maa, you are not going. That's it" he said.
"But Mayu, this is a very important meeting" she tried explaining him.
"No Maa, you are not going anywhere" he said.
"But Mayu, why shouldn't I go?" she asked unable to understand why Manky was behaving this way all of sudden.
"Maa, I can't live without you. I've never lived without you" he finally said giving his thoughts out.
"Oh Mayu! Of course you can live without me. Remember? You went to all the school tours without me. You also spend all your summer and winter vacation at Jaipur at Jay's and you say you can't live without me?" she asked.
"Yes Maa, I can't live without you. And I did go to all the tours and spent my vacations at Jaipur but all the time, it was I who had left you and gone. You never left me" he said.
"Maa, you can go" said Addy after a deep thought.
"Yes Maa. You should actually go" said Sammy agreeing with Addy.
"I agree with Addy and Sammy. You must go Maa. This is a golden opportunity. You shouldn't miss it" said Jay.
"What kind of friends are you guys?" asked Manky pouting.
"Manky! Try thinking logically! It's a wonderful opportunity to prove Mom's talent and you never know, by this we could actually make Mom get a transfer at Army Public School, Mumbai quickly" said Addy.
"Brilliant idea Addy" said Sammy appreciating him.
"Do whatever you want" said Manky angrily and left for his room.
"Maa, I'll go and check on him" said Addy and started moving towards their bedroom.
"No Addy. Leave him alone for some time. He likes to be alone when he is moody" she said.
All the four sat in the living room and started discussing about the speech which Mrs. Sharma was to give the next day.
Manky was in his bedroom thinking about his Mother. He was very happy that his Mother got such a wonderful opportunity but at the same time he couldn't understand what to do. He just couldn't live without his Mother. Yes, he agreed that he went to all the tours and spent his vacations at Jay's place but all the time, it was he who left his Mother and went and not his Mother who had left him. After the death of his Father, Manky had become all the more childish. He was matured like the boys and girls of his age but he acted childish. He loved it whenever someone pampered him. He knew that his Mother loved all the four equally and would do things for their better future. After a long battle between his mind and heart, he finally decided what to do and went to his Mother's bedroom. He packed all the stuff his Mother needs and went to the living room along with the bag pack.
In the living room, all the four were watching the interview of Sammy which was being aired on one particular news channel. He put the bag pack down and went to his Mother.
He sat down on his knees and took his Mother's hands into his and looked into her eyes and spoke, "You can go Maa. Actually, you should go Maa. Addy was right. This is indeed a wonderful opportunity to prove your talent and you must utilize it. But before you leave, I want you to promise me something."
"What is it Mayu?" she asked smiling at him.
"You must come to the railway station day after tomorrow to pick us up" he said childishly.
All the others laughed while Mrs. Sharma promised him. They spoke about tomorrow's meeting and later Mrs. Sharma left for the airport. Manky cried for a while and the others consoled him.
* * * * * * * *
At the Rose Mary Girls School –
The party was called off. It was the girls plan to call off the party as the wanted to perform for their school and in their school for one last time. The arrangements were made accordingly. All the students gathered in the open air auditorium. The anchor, Sneha called out "Okay friends! I'm sure you all are having a great time. No more waiting for our rock stars. Please put your hands together for Nupur, Suhani, Dia and of course Gunjan. But before they perform for us, Nupur wants to say something" she said and handed over the mike to Nups.
* * * * * * * *
At the Army Public School –
The party was called off here also. Instead, a basket ball match was organized. The teams were divided. Sammy and Jay were in one team while Manky and Addy were in another. The match began and all the other students cheered for them.
* * * * * * * *
At the Rose Mary Girls School –
"Good evening everyone!! I hope you all are having a great time. Before we start our performance, we all would like to thank you for the immense support you all have given us and also for the love you have showered on us. A big thank you to all of you! Right from the beginning that is from the 5th grade, that was when we started this band, you all have been there. If we have reached his position, it's all because of your support. We personally thank each one present here. I'm not gonna waste anymore time, let's begin the program girls. So, are you all ready?" she asked and put the mike in front of them.
She handed over the mike to Gun and moved towards the Drums, Honey towards the Keyboard, Candy took the Guitar.
"Are you all ready?" asked Gun. All the girls cheered for them.
"This song is our personal favorite. This song is dedicated to each one present here. It's called YEH ZINDAGI" Gun said and began. . .
Yeh Zindagi. . .Khole Baahein Khadi
Hawa yun chali
Dil kahe tu bhi zara saath aaaaa
Kal choti se cohti yaadon ki kali
pal mein naya aisa vaadon ka Silsila
Behid main be kyon lagy ka hum hain akay ley yahaan
Nickly jo ghar say chaley jab hum tum
Anjaany safar pa chaly jab hum tum
Palko ke peche hai chupa ek sapna dil ka
Ankon taly kyon yeh bata
Mushkil nager pa chaly jab hum tum
Leya khab dil mein chaly jab hum tum
Subha hoty he jasay darta hai dil tab kasay
Armano ki bonday jo palkon say barsay
Nickly jo ghar say chaly jab hum tum
Anjaany safar pa chaly jab hum tum
Muchkil nager pa chaly jab hum tum
Lay khab dil mein chaly jab hum tum

At the Army Public School –
The match was a friendly match. Neither teams cared about which team will win. They played together, that is what mattered. After the match, all had their dinner and retired to their beds.
* * * * * * * *
At the Rose Mary Girls School –
After the performance, they didn't sing another song. They wanted to conclude the journey here with the song with which they began. They had their dinner and retired to their dormitories.
* * * * * * * *
Both MARS and VENUS fell asleep as soon as they hit the bed. They slept after a very tiring day. They anticipated for tomorrow as tomorrow is the day when they will finally go back to Mumbai, the city in which they longed to live. With new dreams and aspirations, they fell asleep.
* * * * * * * *
Now, you guys might be wondering how MARS know each other. MARS have been friends since their kindergarten. They all studied in Army Public School, Delhi. Manky's Mom is a teacher there. All four of them are basket ball players. They had a healthy competition during examinations. It was always one among these who topped the class followed by others. Studying in the Army school made them disciplined. Their day began and ended with each other. They could never imagine a life without each other. They are just done with their schooling and are moving to Mumbai for further studies.
The VENUS studied at a Rose Mary Girls School, Delhi. They knew each other since 1st grade. They know everything about each other. They formed a band called VENUS when they were in 5th grade. They are the rock stars of their school. They are good at studies but they aren't studious. They always get indulged in extra-curricular activities. Like MARS, VENUS is also just done with their schooling and are moving to Mumbai for further studies.
* * * * * * * *
Note: I don't know anything about the rules and regulations of the Army Public School. It's all my imagination and it's got nothing to do with the school. And same is applied to the National Best Teen Rock Band competition and the CBSE results. I wanted to show all of them in a bright light, so thought of this. I know it's very exaggerating but still I couldn't help it. All of them are equally important. I hope you all understand. I needed a reason to send Mrs. Sharma earlier to Mumbai so thought of the speech. It's also a part of my imagination.
That's it for today. I hope you all like it. And do comment!
Keep smiling and take care.
Love,
Sindhu
P.S. Thanks Kanky for the lyrics!😳
