I GOT YOU

Zindagi Bevafa Hai Ye Mana Magar

Chod Kar Raah Me Jaaoge Tum Agar

Cheen Launga Mai Aasma Se Tumhe

Suna Hoga Na Ye Do Dilon Ka Nagar

"NO...she can't go anywhere...till the time I am alive nothing can happen to her...you heard me?...SHE IS ALIVE..." he roared over the police officers who had declared his wife to be dead few minutes before. He was trying hard not to let his voice to sound weaken...was trying hard not to let the tears which were forming in his eyes to fall down. But it was terribly difficult to control himself for him at that point of time when everybody was hell bent on telling him that his wife, his life was no more.

"Sir please, try to understand. She has been fallen from the cliff, in the river. The water...it's really deep there. There is hardly any chance of anyone surviving after getting there. It's been two weeks we are searching for her but..."

Before the officer could say anything further, he interjected in between, "You are just listening to me but not understanding my single word. If I am saying she is here, in this world...then it means she is here. That's it. If you want to close the case, go ahead. I don't care. I don't need anyone of you to find my wife. No matter what and no matter where she is, I will get her back."

The officers were taken aback with the confidence and determination they heard in his voice, in his tone, in his words. They had tried their best to make him understand but he was adamant on his words. He did prefer believing in his love than on the facts which were stating clearly about his wife's death.

The officers left as told by him.

A sudden chill ran down his spines. He stood there, in the middle of his house wondering about how his life took turns in just a matter of few minutes. He was so happy in his life; with her...Their life was almost perfect. He loved her and so did she. He made her his life while she devoted herself to him. They were so much into each other that they didn't really get time and felt a need to look at anyone else. In mere few minutes, in front of him, she fell down from that cliff and he couldn't do anything to save her. He had not felt that helpless ever. His life slipped from his hands and all what he could do was...to stare...to watch it leaving.

Even when she knew she was losing it, she was not going to stay anymore; her last words to him were,

"I love you...and you will not blame yourself for this. Stay here, my love will always be with you."

He had never raised his voice over her, right from their first meet. But when he heard her saying that, he wanted to scold her, to shout at her. But he could do nothing of that sort. No words were coming out from his mouth that time. Tears, only they had managed to make their way from his eyes.

Walking towards the wall where their portrait was hanging, his fingers unknowing to him went on her picture, caressing it. Momentarily closing eyes, he just let himself feel her. Everything in his house had the presence of her, the fragrance of her in them.

"I will not cry. I know you are here...Not with me now but will be soon! I will get you back. Just wait for me" he wiped the tear before it could fall down.

"How happy we were, together! Why had it to happen with us? No, I am not complaining. You do know that I never did. But difference is that until now it was all about other things and now it's about YOU...But still, I would not complain to god for letting this to happen with us because I do believe in him and I owe him for sending you in my life. He had done enough for me by getting us together and now taking care of you is solely my and my responsibility. I know I had failed in my duty of protecting you but I promise I promise I will get you back again. I promise, we will be together again. I promise you will be with me again. God...he is taking a test of our love and our love...it cannot fail in any test. Now, he will be the one who will take me to you just like he had made us meet earlier"

Pal Bhar Me Ye Jaadu Hua

Ek Duje Me Yun Kho Gaye

Mai Tum Bani, Tum Mai Bane

Ham Jo Do The, Ek Ho Gaye

Ek Hua Dil Hamara...

"Hi..." she said, after waiting for good five minutes for him to initiate the conversation but he looked more reserved and kind of not talking much one.

He smiled before he mumbled, "Hi"

She returned a smile back. Looking here and there, she again waited for him to say further. But he only looked back at her.

She shook her head in annoyance at the person sitting next to her who had come to see her, as their families were planning about their marriage and wanted them to meet. Their parents asked them to have some talk alone and arranged a setup at the terrace for them.

Since the time they reached the terrace, he looked quite uncomfortable in talking. Generally, a guy is supposed to start a conversation but he seemed different than usual ones.

"Are you okay?" she asked, trying to get if something was wrong with him.

"Ohh yes...I am absolutely fine..." he immediately responded, straightening himself. He gave her a guilty smile, "I am sorry"

"Actually...to be honest, I am not a much talkative person... I get quite uncomfortable when it comes to talking with girls... I used to stay miles away from girls in my school and college time... I hope you understand" he told her, trying to keep himself calm in front of her.

She giggled at the explanation he gave her. It was rare. It wasn't usual to see guys like him. Generally, every guy was ready to do anything to just to talk with her and there he was! He was definitely different from others.

"What happened? Why are you laughing? No No...you are getting me wrong! I am not..."he tried explaining her. Seeing her still laughing, he quickly continued saying clearly, "I am not of that type...I am normal"

That was it! She started laughing holding her stomach.

"You are cute..." she said in between her laughter.

He was amused. He had always been running from girls. Even now, when his parents asked him to see the girl for his marriage, he tried every possible thing he could do to get away from this but there was no use. His parents were adamant on their decision, knowing their son very well.

He was lost into her, for some moments. She was beautiful. Her long, waist length hairs swayed with the blow of wind. It was the very first time; he was getting attracted towards any girl. It wasn't like he had not met beautiful girls before but with her, something was special.

He couldn't take his eyes off her, even after wanting. She stopped feeling his gaze on her.

Composing herself, she said, "You didn't need to explain. I can understand"

He passed a soft smile towards her.

"If you don't want this marriage, I can say no...and trust me no one will blame you. I will say I am not ready for this" she said, letting him know that if he wasnt ready for the marriage, she would back off and take care of the rest of things.

"No" an instant reply came from him, surprising her and him own self as well.

She raised her eyebrows, trying to hide her smirk, the way he blurted out NO.

"Okay..." she replied, still giggling. He was feeling relaxed and comfortable in her company. The environment, her presence had created was pleasing to him.

"So, how much you have studied?" he finally asked something.

"I have done MBA. I used to do a job in SR industries but later I resigned" she gave an honest answer.

"Why?" an obvious question came from him.

"Long story...but in short, a colleague misbehaved with me and the company didn't take any action against him and for me, self respect comes first" she said.

A sudden wave of pride hit him. She indeed was an amazing person.

"Would you like to work with me, after marriage?"

"But before that, I would need a confirmation"

"Confirmation?"

"That we are getting married"

He stared at her, for a while. Getting off his chair, he kneeled down in front of her, "I never thought that I would get into this...I never thought that I would ever get married because I simply don't understand this love and marriage concept...I never thought that I would get... I know, this is too early to say this but still, I really like you...I feel some connection with you. I want to be with you. I don't know about love but I want to understand love, with you. I would be lucky to have someone like you in my life. I want to spend my rest my life with you"

She was taken aback with his sudden confession.

She said nothing but walked down and declared that they were ready for the marriage. Their families exchanged hugs in happiness. Everyone looked so thrilled, especially his parents.

She turned at him, to see him leaning against the pillar. They exchanged smiles. Their eyes spoke volumes. In today's time, when hardly anyone believes in arrange marriages, they felt it was the best thing happened to them. They believed they came in the world for each other only. They could not have found anyone better for themselves than each other.

With the time, they apparently fell head over heels in love with each other. He loved her like no one else could and she cared for him like no one else could. They had one beautiful year with each other. Everything was as smooth as a fairy tale until that day arrived in their life...that day...that cruel day when things turned in such a way that he had not expected in his wildest dreams.

They had gone for a picnic. That place where they went was a mountain covered by trees from all over. Everything was going fantastic until they heard some bullets being fired in the air. His mind got alarmed. He looked around and found some people there, with Rifles in their hand and their faces covered with clothes in order to not get recognized by anyone.

He pulled her towards him, hiding her back.

"Hands up" one from them said, stepping forward.

He just followed what they said. He had no chance of refusing. He could not take any risk because she was there with him and her safety was the only thing going in his mind that time.

"Police must be coming any moment with our member. We got you on a good time here. Just in case, if they didn't give us our member back, we can blackmail them with you two. We will not hurt you. Just don't show any smartness."

He simply nodded. She was clutching his shoulder in her grip. He could feel the fear and tension rising in her. Turning back, he assured her cupping her cheek, "Shh...don't worry. I will not let anything happen to you. Trust me"

She was just looking into his eyes as if she knew it probably could be her last time. Circling her arms around his neck, she leaned onto him, hugging him like she might not get that chance ever again. The fear...the fear in her had overpowered her to the extent that she felt like losing everything.

Soon, their attention shifted forward as they heard the siren of the police van. Two officers got down van.

"Where is our member?" one of the terrorists asked the police officers.

"Where is Piya?" asked the officer.

The terrorist had kidnapped Piya, 8-year-old daughter of ACP and blackmailed them for rescuing their member who was in Jail.

He pointed in the car, where Piya was tied with ropes.

The police officer signalled to their Van, and 3 officers got down with their member whose face was covered. It was basically their trick.

On the other side, his heart shuddered in horror when he didn't find her on his side and saw her near those terrorist's car. She had managed to reach to the car and open the door where they had kept that little girl. Almost everyone was out except that girl.

The officers and terrorists were busy in arguing. The officers demanded Piya first while terrorists demanded to get off the cloth on their member's face.

He quickly made his way towards her, making sure to not come in anyone's notice. Till that time, she had removed the ropes from Piya's hands and legs and pulled her out. That time, one of the terrorists fired one bullet in the air, before running towards her.

She pushed Piya towards him when that terrorist grabbed her arm and pinned her, locking her hand by her neck, putting gun on her head.

"Give me that girl back or else I will kill your wife, right here"

"No...don't give her. It's okay if I die but don't let anything happen to her" she told him. He was all teary. Neither he could let her happen anything nor could he hand over Piya to them.

"Leave her. Your all members are caught. Leave her or else everyone will be killed" said police officer.

"You are anyway not going to leave us. But this girl should pay the price for what she has done" saying so, that terrorist pushed her off the cliff. Police officers caught him and pushed in the Police Van.

"Nooo" he ran towards her, putting Piya aside.

She was hanging in the air with her one hand on a branch and other in his grasp. He knew she can't hold for longer. He saw for a moment her gaze went below, the river was roaring in full speed. His heart pained looking at her as she moved her head upwards and their eyes locked as usual. He could see fear, pain in her those soulful eyes and he knew she saw the horror in his.

"Hold it tighter" he pleaded desperately trying to pull her upwards. His own heart was in his mouth seeing his life in danger but he wouldn't give up just like that. He would fight, fight till he succeeds.

"Sweetheart just try little harder...I know you will do it'" his breathless voice rang in his own ears. He was trying to pull her with all strength, but he was not God or superman to pull two persons by all alone himself and definitely not when her hand was slipping away from his.

"Remember this I love you and you won't blame yourself for this...stay here. My love will always be with you" she cut him off as she needed to say this to him before everything ends her hand was about to slip away, "I LOVE YOU!" she confessed giving him that helpless smile and closed her eyes as she felt herself falling down of the cliff as her hand slipped out of his hold.

***************************************************************************************

PRESENT:

It had been two weeks since the police were searching for her but they couldn't find her except the two bangles in her hand. They closed the case assuming she was no more as the flow of water was so much that it was next to impossible for anyone to survive in that.

But he...he was firm enough to hold himself, for sake of her. He could no way believe that she left him, to live alone in this world without her. No! Because she knew he cannot survive without her. He had told her uncountable times. If not for her, then she must come back for him.

He picked up the phone which was ringing from past few minutes.

"Hello, Sir"

"Hmm..."

"Sir, probably I know where Mam is..."

This line made him stood up, focussing completely on Rakesh, his manager.

"What Rakesh? How? I mean where...where she is?" he didn't realize what to say after hearing what his ears were craving to hear.

"Sir, actually we have spread out Mam's pictures everywhere. So my sister, who apparently is a doctor and lives in Hugli, called me today. She has seen Mam's picture in the newspaper. A lady has been brought to their hospital and she thinks...she thinks, that lady is Mam..."

The phone slipped off his hand. The smile on his face soon turned into a wider one. He had found her! He had found her! His faith didn't let him down. She is here! She is alive and soon would be with him! The mere thought of she would be with him had made his heart smile. He couldn't wait more and rushed where his life was waiting for him.

IN Hugli :

Reaching the hospital, he went to the room where he had been told, she was. The doctor asked him not to disturb her as she was still unconscious and very pale and weak. His heart kept crossing its normal pace. He kept praying, to get her here. There was a somewhere, a little fear in him. He just could not trust his destiny anymore. His hands had literally gone cold. Taking every step with great difficulty, he somehow made it to her room. Gathering some courage he slightly pushed the door of the room they kept her in, he stood paralyzed at the door as his eyes fell on her. There she was lying unconscious on the bed.

He wanted to scream! He wanted to laugh! He wanted to take a sigh of relief! But nothing...nothing really came out of him. Two weeks! Two damn weeks, she wasn't with him. Almost every one told him that he lost her, she would not be coming back to him and now when he had found her, when his love and faith had been proved right, he just didn't know how to react.

She stirred in sleep. Her fingers did a little movement, making him aware that she was gaining her consciousness. She tried opening her eyes but the bright light in the room couldn't let her keep them open for long. Blinking her eyes, she again opened them and the moment they caught the sight of him, they remained as they were. No light and no weakness were strong enough to make her eyes close when she saw him in front. That was it! Even though she had no strength remained in her, she was feeling too weak to even move her hands, but she just couldn't stop looking at him. Seeing him was a great relief for her. She smiled amidst the pain in her body as if trying to let him know that she was fine, knowing how worried and tensed he must be.

He sat on the bed, beside her, walking near her. She started adjusting herself, in process of getting her to sitting position but the pain in her body made her all efforts to vanish in water. He immediately held her, protecting her from getting hurt. Carefully helping her, he made her sit comfortably, by adjusting pillows behind her back. She took a deep breath, relaxing herself after these few moments' efforts. Even a little movement by her was tiring for her due to the weakness. He wasn't saying anything which had made her worried.

"I am fine" she told him, holding his hand, trying to assure him that she was alright. She could see the same fear in his eyes of losing her, which she had seen that day, when she had fallen down. She could see worry, concern and love for her in his eyes. After hearing her voice, he couldn't take it anymore.

In next moment he was hugging her like his life depends on her. Tears held till now started flowing through his eyes now with all there might. "Everything happened because of me...all because of me. It's my fault...my fault. I planned that picnic. I selected that spot. If I wouldn't then nothing would have happened. Nothing would have happened to you. Everyone...everyone told me...that yo...you...left me...I...I..." he somehow spoke as his throat was almost choking and his voice sounded breaking with every single word.

Unable to hear him cursing himself she embraced him pulling him closer, letting her hands roam over his hairs and back calming him, soothing him, wanting to take away his every pain

"I'm Sorry! I'm so sorry" she heard him mumbling against her hairs. He was continuously saying sorry to her. They held each other close to themselves after long two weeks which absolutely went like two ages for him. She was unconscious these two weeks so more than her; it was him, who went crazy, craving for her, these two weeks. All pent up emotions were now bared.

"Shh...it's not your fault...you didn't do anything...Relax...Relax, relax...I am fine and in front of you...I will never ever leave you...nothing can make us separate because our love is strong enough to win over anything else" She kept speaking soothing words to him, to calm him down and her efforts were working. He was slowly calming down, in her embrace, with her words. It's not wrong when people say that love is magical. It indeed is!

"I was scared" he pulled himself out of the hug. His hold on her hand tightened, as he let her know how scared he was. "I know" she replied with a soft smile, keeping her other hand on his. She very well was aware of what must he had gone through when she wasn't with him. Even if she used to get a little scratch, his panic level used to rise to the sky so she knew, this thing must have left him shaken beyond she could imagine. "But I am fine and with you. Isn't that enough?" she now was getting little forward as she had to make him understand that she was okay and more, she had to take out the fear rising in his hear of losing her. "Yes it is" he knew, she was with him and would always be with him. Even when for the two weeks, when she wasn't with him, when everyone told him that she was no more, it was he and only he who was sure that she was alive. It was only he, who had faith in his love which silently had conveyed him that their love could not be defeated by anything. But now, when he actually had found her, he couldn't help it. He just wanted to make sure again and again that she was there for him, in real. Leaning forward, he placed an affectionate and lingering kiss silently conveying his worry, gratitude, respect, care, concern and love he feels for her, gently cupping side of her face by placing his palm over it. Her eyes closed at the instant, her skin received his affectionate touch. His closeness affected her, causing a pink light blush to rise upon her. Slowly closing the gap between their faces he placed his lips on her expressing his love. Whenever he felt short of words, this was his way of expressing his feelings. Showing his love to the woman he loves the most. His life, his wife!
