Part 13
Her unmatched intelligence. Her ceaseless courage. Her resolute confidence. Her sensitiveness. Her humanity.
Her long, dark brown hair. Her pink lips. Her brown eyes. Her tinkling laughter. Basically, all of her.
Sanyukta Agarwal has no idea about how much she has enthralled me. I will thank my stars till the day I die because I am so damn lucky to have spent so much time with her. I now know a side to her that I can't help but love. She isn't only the headstrong, feminist and annoying girl I met for the first time at FITE. She is much, much more.
Have you ever met a girl who enjoys listening to sufi music and heavy metal? If yes, you're lucky. If not, you have to meet this girl. She indulges in cooking and watching football matches! We even listened to some songs by Metallica and headbanged though it hurt like hell for me to move. That was the most alive I felt in a long, long time. Moreover, our favorite EPL and world cricket teams are the same! Ditto same! Imagine, if we get married, we wouldn't even have to fight for the TV remote! Just how peaceful would life be! Go to work with your wife, come back home with your wife, watch TV without a fight with your wife and most importantly, love your wife with all your heart! Yes, I would love for Sanyukta Agarwal to be my wife! I only have to wait for the right time to make her mine!
I can't believe I met someone like her in this lifetime. I thought one has to accumulate many good deeds over a number of lifetimes to get this lucky. But I am so fortunate all because of an earthquake! A devastating, fearful earthquake! I guess the person who said that all things happen for a reason was a real genius! If the earthquake hadn't happened, then I wouldn't have realized how protective I am of her. I could show her that I wouldn't mind getting hurt myself if it was to protect her. Only her.
Sanyukta makes me feel like I'm a good person who deserves happiness. After what my mother did to me, I believed I would never be happy again. Never feel alive again. But Sanyukta, she instills life in me each time I see her. That glimmer in eyes when she talks about machines and her dreams makes me feel like I'm a part of someone's dream. Her dream. And I have to say that there is no feeling more gratifying in the world.
I will not be able to thank her enough for traveling so much everyday just to see me. But I am glad she did. The way we have seen beyond our own veils of hatred has made us discover new people within each other. I, for one, know that I love the new part of her that I have discovered. Of late, I know that she loves me as much as I love her. She told me so herself. Or more precisely, her jealousy did when she saw me with Aarohi. Yes, I had asked Aarohi to come into my room when she was there. I had asked her to behave coyly with me, just to see how it affected Sanyukta. I must say, Aarohi would have made a very fine actress, if only life had given her a chance. As for my Sanyukta, she reacted so well that I have all my answers.
Yes, I know that it affected her badly. In fact, so badly that she hasn't come to see me in three entire days! She won't take my calls. Even if I call her using another number, she listens to my voice and cuts the call. I'm not yet permitted to leave the hospital, otherwise I would have told her everything at this very moment. Now, the only thing that I know is that I have to do something to bring her back to this hospital. And that too, quickly. Knowing my Miss Farzi, she must have already lost it at me because of Aarohi. She must be thinking that all this is just an act to deviate her from studying well. She must be calling me things like a devil, Satan and what not! God, she is so adorable even when she's angry!
Little do you know, Miss Agarwal, that you have made me fall in love with life and more importantly, with you. When I was a child, I used to love playing the guitar. I used to play songs on it just to receive appreciation and love from my parents. But the moment my mother left me, my love for guitars also left me.
But after knowing Sanyukta's love for music, I couldn't help but start playing again. In fact, I have been practicing when she isn't around. I learned her favorite Metallica song, Nothing Else Matters. I'm waiting for her to come here so I could play it for her. But only if she would come!
Come on, Randhir Singh Shekhawat! You can think of a way to bring Miss Farzi here! Think, think, think! Yes, this is a fabulous idea! See you in exactly 5 hours, my Sanyu! I have never been so pleased with myself!
