MEMOIRS OF POOLSIDE-
I was inspired to write this o.s after reading "AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SUV" by chibisuke.
this is my first attempt in writing ..!!
I am poolside, I am not an ordinary poolside, I am the poolside of RM.Yes!! You heard it right!! THE Raizada Mansion, give more emphasis on "Raizada", guys. White tiled, surrounded by gobs of plants which is tended heedfully by my governor.
Yes!! I am the poolside of The Arnav Singh Raizada aka ASR. The top of the ladder business tycoon, The King of the Fashion World. He was nothing but a cold-blooded, ruthless man. And I am so proud of myself that I was his abode of solace.
But one day a girl entered his barren life, a girl with hazel eyes, her mouth formed in O'everytime she was amused or shocked , in yellow and orange salwaar-kameez, with lots of pom-poms and I also got the privilege of meeting her and as soon as I saw her, she stumbled at my threshold, but my always-ready-to-help' governor caught her by waist & held her securely in cocoon of his arms.
Something exchanged between their eyes and I got the bulletin that, this is the very girl who can make my governor again alive. She will remove all thorns from his life &fill his life with blooming roses.
First few encounters' between the two forces saw lots of fireworks and resistance,bickering between them as both of these were equally stubborn and didn't want to bend. Par uss jhagde main bhi kuch baat thi...
aNd somewhere in between the tussle something changed.. I guess even they wouldnt know when and how it happened.. .. but yes a lot did change.. & I saw it .. over small things, small exchanges..
Oh! How can I forget... him disentangling the pom-pom girl from fairy-light which she had skillfully used to enlighten herself .. and I wonder.. did my governor fell a little for her innocence that day, was it those sparkling fairy lights that made him see it??
and then he had blown the mud particles from her eyes. I'll share a secret.. I think he was standing a little bit closer than actually needed, n maybe that proximity made him see her honesty right through those eyes of hers that spoke of every single emotion she felt. Those days even leaves of placed placed nearby me use to dance as the magical aura of them together would bring wind along with them...rabba ve...rabba ve...rabba ve...rabba ve...!!!
Then came the fateful day of Diwali, I was glowing with divas and fairy lights. Suddenly I saw my governor with the same pom-pom girl, he fixed her twisted ankle & made her wear her Amma's payal. And than there was, their ever so mesmerizing eye-lock and everything changed!! She started moving backward and he, towards her .Love was in air & in their eyes also. It was all magical.
But suddenly their trance was broken by a ring and the magical spell was broken. He broke her heart and also her hopes, she demanded answers from him but he didn't said a word. And how I wanted to scream at him, admonish him for being a fool, for hurting her so bad, when just a second back, he was all lost in his need to kiss her.. but then.. I m a mere poolside.. I cant even manage my own whirlpools to draw attention.
(I think it was Aman ASR's right hand..But even I never saw him..I always hear about him. My governer shouting at him ,commanding, Aman this Aman that..but never saw him,I also cursed him a little as he broke most magical moment.)
I have seen both beautiful as well as sad moments of their life's. How he kissed her on her cheek and how she blushed tomato red, how he admitted that he brought bangles for her..how she tried to hide her concern when he disappeared, which he could clearly make out..My tiles were shining extra white those days..My friends that is, plants who are my neighbors also fluttered their leaves more enthusiastically...
I saw deep love in his eyes for someone while talking to Akash sir on his wedding day. But the same day their life changed, as he forced khushiji to marry him. I saw him asking her to marry him forcibly. And I m sure I did increase the height of water in the pool with my tears... the ones that I couldn't help but shed for the innocent soul being hurt.. HE made her sleep in cold outside, by myside, while he slept inside .She was crying bitterly I bet he was also crying inside in his heart. I know my governor that much. I asked my plant friends to not to flutter as it will cause more chill to her .After all She was our governess now..I have seen them pouring their hearts out during holi, breaking down of khushiji when my governor was kidnapped.
But as there is not always night, dark clouds pass away eventually making their way to new sunshine.
Happiness entered in RM also. Engulfing all members of house, I even saw "romantic moments bigaadne ke 100 tarike by "Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada".
Their life again filled with bliss, joy came back marking their effect on all inhabitants of Raizada Mansion.
Even my governor was not spared, yeah a moment came when shyam's truth came out,I thought house will break again .But all members supported each other and storm passed away, making their life more beautiful. And that day I saw the strong, formidable arnav singh raizada, drawing his strength, his courage to fight from that timid little girl. I m sure it was her selfless love that made made her the stronger one that day..
And today after 4 blissful years of their marriage My governor's What the's &Unbelievable 's are same but his temper has mellowed down quite considerably.
I am sharing my story now, as now-a-days laptop is left deserted quite often as my governor remains busy sharing passionate moments with his wife or cuddling to his little daughter.
By the way I wonder sometime, why I never saw anyone else in my side other than him, khushiji and now their naughty little angel ...who always crawls upto my side and tries to touch my water with her little ,chubby hands, . God!! I always remain on my toes and I pass my plants friends signal to flutter their leaves hurriedly as a signal to call someone, afraid that the little explorer might fall down in pool. I guess my side is their personal heaven on earth.
Right now I can see my governor and khushiji seeing stars together, sitting on chair along with their 1 year old daughter..It is their daily routine, to watch their mamma-papa..
I feel contented by seeing that and privileged that I am a part of their life..
And you see, I call him governor, you know na why??Because my governess calls him the same with an extra sweetness attached to it ...he is her "laad governor"
