CrOss COnneCtiOn!!!.Raj-Aamna happy new year!! ... - Page 2

Finally ….Christine D'sousa was walking through the streets of the city of love &

romance …..the sharp wintry wind was there to penetrate her bones through her soft

skin……but nothing cud stop her from going to HIM……

Christine was beautiful…..her slender body seemed out of all scale in relation to a

normal human body….she was so tall….so fragile ….so exaggerated …that she

looked like a stylized drawing of a woman & made the correct proportions of normal

human being appear heavy & awkward besides her…..her bluish green eyes were two

long rectangular cuts edged by parellel lines of lashes ….fixing her hat on her head

…..she reached the bridge …..yeah!!!!!……He had come to meet her….his eyes fixed

on her…..feeling her with a sense of cold cruelty …..they stood on the bridge quietly

looking at each other ….with no one wanting to actually break the silence …..

Christine remembered their first meet ….those days ….she used to be so busy with her

modeling assignments ….& an ad agency she recently opened in Paris …..yeah!!!

……she met him in a seminar …..where she was late by 15 minutes …..walking up the

stairs …hastily she didn't realize her left leg slipping down through the stairs…….bt

before she cud think of balancing herself …..she landed between those strong arms

…..she was so damn beautiful that …..anybody cudnt resist to admire her at first sight

….but his COAL BLACK eyes remained silent ….& fixed on her face, her pale

golden hair …like a cold wintry night ……leaving her awkward & lost in deep

admiration …..he left for the busy streets making the seminar hall absolutely

worthless for the lady ……HE WAS AN INDIAN….or maybe someone from Asia

……she ran out of the gate …..but he was lost somewhere in those streets….

"hello!!!…Christine…"….. finally he broke that silent understanding ….& brought her to the present …..from a good old past ….

"I'll have to go!!!!!"

"but….."

"its my fight with the damn whole system….& u know ..its possibly the best thing happened to me …."

"don't u want me to be a part of it ….RAJ"….finally shivering she called him by his name!!!!

He smiled …..very rare of him to do so…..but the coldness remained…..

"I don't know…..but maybe I wont survive against all odds….to me…. that matters the least …..but for u………"….he stopped in middle …& then again continued….

"I don't want u to suffer Christine !!!!!"

"I'm pregnant Raj"

He looked at her with ecstasy….with sudden brush of all emotions…..& then …he

was sad…he'll not be there ….when their first baby would come in this world…he

looked up in the sky ……cursing himself for the injustice …he was going to do with a

soul …still unborn….quietly ….he came close to her sidelining those golden strands

from her face ….this was perhaps the last time ….they were so much close……his

lips left an imprint of his affection on her forehead …making her live with it for the

rest of her life!!!!!!

As he turned his back towards her ……she sobbed quietly….not letting him know

…..how hurt she was…..how much her heart was aching …..but quietly she let him go

…seeing his figure vanish in the dark night

"They wont let u survive ….they wont"…..& she left the bridge….
------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------

Six years later…….

A small 5 years old boy ….was playing football after his playschool was over ….waiting for his mom to come…..finally Christine arrived …..

"RYAN!!!!!!"…….she called him

her small boy ….had got that typical Indian look ….like his father's….once she got

Raj's childhood pic in some file …& she was stunned to see the exactness …Ryan

was in everyway …& from every angle was his Father's LOOKALIKE …..same eyes

…same lips ….same rudeness …same attitude…..same silence….& same

courage…..only things that he got from his mother was her eye colour…&

complexion…..the small boy had bluish green eyes which were as cold ….& as silent

as his father's….

Quietly leaving the football at one end of the playground …he made his way towards

his mom

"hello son……how was the day …..I hope u missed me …."

"No!!!!"…..he replied flatly while getting inside the car….

"ur so like ur father….." she said …while her voice trembling …She loved Raj so much…..

seeing his mom deeply hurt….all he said was

"I miss him…"…..pointing his tiny finger towards a man waiting outside the playschool for someone….opening the door lock ….of his car ….he ran towards him….

"DAD!!!!!!"….he screamed out of sheer pleasure…..Christine looked confused like anything ….as the man turned his face towards her …..she froze…..

Raj was back!!!!!!!!!….her Raj was back….she ran to hug him ……to touch his

tall…lean body…unable to resist those joyous tears …which had begun to fall off her

eyes like small white pearls…….but when she hugged him……a sudden sense of

chill ran through her spine ….as if she was hugging some stranger ….suddenly ….she

drew herself apart….& looked at his face….

HE WASN'T HER RAJ ANYMORE……those eyes had lost that fire ….he looked

dirty ….his shirt had got the smell of alcohol …..& he seemed still under its spell….

"I dint survive against'em all Christine …I dint …they won…I'm a loser Christine ….I jus returned to see my son….then…I'll go….I wont trouble u dear ….I wont!!!!!"

& he broke down ….his son quietly listening to his dad…..while Christine understood …it was the end of Life for him…..


Christine was still a rage with men ….even if her son was 8 years old ….She, Raj …&

Ryan lived in one of the most porsh colonies of Paris…her success…& rocking

modeling career had aspired many …but deep down …she wasn't happy…only

plastered her face with false smile …that she was the happiest woman of this earth…

she wasn't happy coz Raj had now completely given up on her ……he had found a

new companion…..HIS DRINKS …..& had left her completely for her career …& her

fans ….the newspapers & articles ….always pointed him out as a useless husband of

a beautiful & popular lady….many of them even suggested of divorcing her good for

nothing husband ….or kick him out of the house ……every morning he read those

articles about his wife ….& her link-ups with every other person in business…though

he believed none …he kept on laughing …..while reading those funny link-ups…..he

knew that….CHRISTINE WAS MEANT FOR HIM …..& ONLY HIM…but deep

down he had made it clear for himself …that a LOSER like him….wasn't meant for

her

Ryan saw his father in grief……an unexplainable human misery ….but as he was a

kid …he took it other way…..Ryan held his mother responsible for his dad's

condition ….as Christine never showed her grief like Raj….Ryan thought his mom

doesn't care for anybody ….neither his dad ….nor him….that for her …all that

matters is her career ……& she is sidelining her good for nothing husband ….he

thought those link-ups were actually true …& they were giving his dad ….the actual

sorrows…..he started hating his mom….he was more cruel than his DAD…..

One night ….Ryan saw his mom with…Mr. Steve scarlet …..with whom she was being linked now-a days ….he heard his mom saying something while laughing……..

"don't say ….that just 3 days after meeting me….u find me exquisite & beautiful…& like no one u've ever met before…& that ur very much afraid that ur going to fall in love with me …& ur really going through the Heart break as I'm already married…."She giggled

"how did u know…."…asked the man in surprise…

"coz ….every single person whom I've met have said this to me ……"she replied gaily

"I wish to kiss ur hands Christine…"….said Mr Scarlet on which she eventually

agreed….her son Ryan saw her in disgust from one corner of their house…he ran

inside ….not wanting to look at his mom's face as she enters the house….removing

that plastered & false happiness from her face ……sadly …she came inside ….Raj

was still awake …waiting for her in their drawing room….

"hello sweetz…..still awake …& this …leave it Raj…look at urself ….ur looking so weak ..& ill….Drinks r eating u up…Raj…."

He silently looked at her piercing her naked soul……then he smiled….

"ur right darling …..I should leave it ….I'll quit drinking …."

"WHAT….."…..after so many days …she found a real reason to smile….

"Yes dear!!!!!"

"Promise me….promise me that u'll be back to normal….Raj….we'll leave Paris …& go somewhere else…there we wud start a new life with our small son…. Ur very important for my existence Raj…"…saying this she hugged him while he kissed her golden hair…

"U'll have to learn to live without me …Christine ….coz I'm not jus quitting drinks …I'm quitting this world too"…saying this he took out a loaded pistol….pushed her really hard…away from him…..she fell on the nearby sofa…….her pale golden hair spread all over her face …but before she cud react………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………….

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

the bullet had knocked off his skull……He had died instantly …..& her world was over for her…..she remained in shock for a minute or so ….until she found her small son…silently looking at his father's dead body……..

"Ryan…Ryan….."….she stepped towards him….

Her small son stood still….with no reply ….perhaps he had always known that this was going to happen…..he looked at her with deep hatred…& before she cud say anything ….he took the pistol from his dad's lifeless hands……

"U killed my dad…..U damnable bitch …but I wont let u go to ur lover….I'll kill u too….U killed my dad…."…..he didn't cry…

He held the pistol firmly in his hands ….but before he cud actually fire at his mom…

he saw his hands trembling …& headache rising like anything ….after a few seconds

he fell on the floor unconscious…..

Christine was deeply shaken….her son held her …..her responsible for Raj's suicide

…she had sensed that hatred in her little son's eyes for her ….but without thinking

anymore ….she telephoned in hospital weeping …..

Soon after Ryan was shifted in hospital…while his dad's body was taken for post

mortem ….in which …it was eventually declared ..that Raj had suicided…& that it

dint look like a murder in anyway…..A shattered Christine was waiting for the docs

to come 2 days after that accident ..that changed her life forever ….silently praying

to God …that her son was fine …..after many tests & MRI ….the doctor finally

showed up…..She ran towards him….

"My Ryan …doc…."….saying this she broke down….

"Sorry to say …but ur little boy …is suffering from Brain fever after it all happened …& this accident has affected his mental state to a great extent … "

"What happened to him…."….She didn't want to lose her son anymore….after her fate cruelly snatched her LOVE frm her…..

"Ryan is getting to see …frequent nightmares .....unclear to him too…..there's some tension in the left lobe of his brain …where the brain nerves have started to tighten ….see this side…."….he saw her the image s of different parts of his brain….

"Coz of this …he's getting into a state of mental break-down….at the sametime …he has grown in himself fear & hatred from u…& he begins to shout in pain as soon as someone asks him bout his mom or dad….& his headache & heart beats rise up abnormally….."

"Will he be fine doc….."…christine still had some hope…

"as a neurologist all I cud say …is that…this ones a really complicated case of mental trauma….but one thing's still positive ….for the rest of the time …when we don't put u or his dad in discussion …he does fine …& talks normally too ….he only starts behaving abnormally ...when we start talking bout his family

"does that mean……I wont be able to see him ever….or do u wanna say ...his own mom has become a danger for his life...."….sobbed Christine..

"No …… ….I wont say ..its for ever Christine …may be with time ….he will come back to normal …but until that time comes…..STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!!!!!"

after her son was discharged ….he was sent to a boarding school in Toronto ….very very far away from the city of love …..& a dark past ….Ryan tried to leave his Dark past ….but his past dint leave him……

He never saw Christine from there on!!!!!!!!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- -

20 years later……….

In the wee hours of the morning …..a guy was silently making his way towards the

most popular casino in Amsterdam ……MAURYA ROYALE…which was full even for

whole night…..as he reached the place ….he took off his hat & entered inside

….Maurya Royale was very well designed with automatic temperture check ……

vitally active happiness meter ..& a brain-studying equipment on every gambling

machine…..they were to study the person winning the prize amount …so that there

was not a single way left for anyone to win the prize amount …with some sort of

cheating….as soon as anybody won the prize amount….these equipments started

reading his temperature …..brain…& happiness …If he was found worthy …he was

given the prize amount …..unless ..he was handled to POLICE….Maurya Royale was

known for its exquisite techniques…..& profit….but………these days it was incurring

losses….why…u'll get to know…...

The guy reached for some coins …& sat on one chair in front of the gambling

machine…(sorry I dunno …what its actually called….nebody who knows…kindly

tell me …so that I get it right….)

Without wasting time …he started feeding the coins inside the machine….but at last

…intensionally he dropped the last coin…then shrugging his shoulders he stood

up ..& left the machine ….a gentleman saw him dropping …but he didn't get

that…..IT WAS INTENSIONAL……

"ur coin son!!!!!!!….u dropped it…."

"Try ur luck man…"….he said smiling …..

The man walked up to the machine …took up the coin …& fed it inside the machine ….while the guy was watching him silently……….& then……

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo…….

The man cudnt believe his eyes ….he had won a prize money of as much as 10 million dollars….

"CUD U BELIEVE IT…….I've won ten million dollars"

He declared….while his happiness crossed all bounds….he started dancing like a

lunatic ….& everbody out there in casino started clapping for him….even those who

looked sleepy started trying out their luck once again……the happiness meter…

temperature check …& brain studying equipment …all approved of him as a winner

…..he dint show anything that he didn't feel….

After a few minutes …his eyes searched that young guy …..he hoped ..that the guy

wasn't any near…the guy had left the casino …as soon as he saw him dancing like a

lunatic…..taking his hat & coat…he came out of the casino…….with a grin on his

face…..

"Silly people…."……..saying this he shrugged off…his shoulders once again …& looked at the big bright …Maurya Royale……

"Poor….Sid Maurya!!!!!"…saying this he walked away …..as if it were not necessary for his voice to assume the tones of mocking…….

This was Ryan D'sousa lagaaoing Watt of Maurya industries ltd….hehe….
------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------

At 10'o clock in Maurya office …….Sid was getting ready to start off with his days work……while his Senior Manager Alec entered…..

"Sir ….did u get the news!!!!!!!"….he said panting…

"about what….say clearly or get lost…"…..Sid was really bored of Alec's monotonous expressions……

"We lost another 10 million dollars this morning …in…in the casino….."

"U SCOUNDEREL ….!!!!!!!"….Sid stood up..& took alec by his collar…It was perhaps the last news he wanted to hear ….but see…..his day started with this NEWS only

"I didn't do anything Sir…..even our experts r saying that it was all phenomenal…& …and nothing was planned by the man in question beforehand….."

Sid became all the more furious & pinned alec in the sidewall…as if Alec was a

gurl…& after looking into his pleading eyes….he maintained his cool & left

him…..He reached the table …& first drank a glass of water…..he wasn't

understanding if …it was his sheer unlucky venture….or his rivals were behind the

scenes….In just a month…..he had lost nearly 200 billion dollars ….all thanks to his

big bright Maurya Royale….he didn't know …what to do…laugh or cry!!!!!!!!

…..one of his most profitable business ventures was incurring the heaviest of

losses…..he took a deep breath…..

"Sir!!!!…I think before the things get worsened…..& u get bankrupt……kindly CLOSE THE CASINO!!!!!!"

"Shut up u BLOODY IDIOT………….get out of my cabin before I get all charged up …& MURDER U right here…"

Alec ran to get out of the cabin…..

"Wait Alec……."…Sidharth Maurya took a deep breath……

"SHUT THAT DAMN CASINO!!!!!!!!…"…he cried out…..

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- --


Ryan was in his bathroom…..shirtless ….looking at himself in the mirror…..with time

….his headache had took a toll on him…..even the medicines stopped working for

him….he desperately wanted to forget his dark past …..his mom's betrayal…..his

father's suicide ……but perhaps….GOD had made him live with it….coz in the

mirror , the face that was visible ….wasn't his own identity….it was as if his dad was

standing on the other side of the mirror ….in his prime youth….seeing himself in

mirror …he went through the same pain ….the pain of losing his dad…he hated

Christine all the more when he looked at himself in the mirror…..his bluish-green

eyes were no more visible due to his black contact-lenses….he wanted to destroy

everything that linked him to his mom….nobody besides two people in this world

knew his real eye colour…..one was he …himself…& other was CHRISTINE…..

He looked away from the mirror…slowly took off his contact lenses….washed his

eyes with a stream of water….he looked at his face again….It no more made him

remember his Dad….all that he cud see …was Ryan D'sousa ……Christine D'sousa's

only son…..he ran out of the bathroom nealy shattered….after so many

years…..yeah!!! 20 years later …he wasn't able to forget a single thing…..suddenly

he found his headache increasing so much that…it seemed that his skull wud burst

into several million parts…..It had become all the more unbearable now…..

Somehow!!!!!….he managed to reach the drawer ….took out a syringe & filling it up

with a liquid….he injected it down his veins……after sometimes …he slept……

After 2 hours of sleep……he felt relieved of that deadly headache……then suddenly

remembering that he hadn't wear his contact lenses…..he went to do the same……



The telephone in Arya's cabin rung…..she pressed the speaker button of her office telephone….

"Arya!!!!!!!!…..someone's come to meet u…"…said the receptionist to Arya who was right then attending a customer….

"anybody who's there….say him or her to wait….It wont be possible for me to see anything besides my work …for at least 15 minutes…."

"but….the guy….some D'sousa…"

Arya , who was going to cut the phone …suddenly froze…as if she cudnt believe her ears…that…that Ryan had actually come to see her!!!!!!!

She ran like crazy moving out of the cabin to the main hall…..breathless ….she saw

him standing there wearing a formal white shirt & a pair of Blue jeans ….she was so

anxious to meet him …that she dint calculate that ….she was running at a real faster

pace….as she came near …..she tried to slow down ….but in vain…..she had already

pushed him alongwith herself on a nearby sofa…..she jus looked into his eyes

unaware of the public whose eyes were only on them…..after coming to her senses

….she felt deeply embarrassed as people in the WORLD BANK …were looking at

them…….

His eyes were still cold…..showing almost no emotions ….he silently looked at her…..

"U RASCAL!!!!!!!…..where were u all these days …dint u know …how much I missed u!!!!"

"meet me in CITY NIGHT CLUB in the evening…"…..his tone still was the same …as if he were talking to a stranger

"Why u want me there….."….she rolled her eyes while smiling……

"TO SCREW U!!!!!!!!!"……he grinned….while she tried to hit him ….but ….in vain….he had held both her hands really tightly…..

"& if I say I wont come!!!!!!…then….."…she raised her brows…..& he made his grip tighter…& when it started hurting her ….all of a sudden he held her free…..

"I'll find someone else!!!!!!!!"



It was dark …& JAANVI ….still with her PS was busy shopping ..at the shoppers stop

in DELHI …..It was a week or so ..that she had been to India ….actually she quietly

ran from New York to India with the help of her secretory…who came along too….to

her uncle's place …to bachaao herself from a shaadi which meant to be Barbaadi for

her…haha….India wasn't as bad as she thought it wud be ….but yeah!!!!…the cows

& buffaloes on Roads made it sure to her …that it wasn't as good too……

"Maam …I think we had…had enough of shopping….at least now…we shud go…"

"ur right Meenal ….we shud go now…."

As they were walking on the road ….a doodhwaalaa…(I don't know from where he

came ..haan toh)……on a bicycle with atleast 4 big milk bottles ..was coming from

behind …..somehow ….he lost his balance ….the next thing happened was …..Jaanvi

hit by his bicycle's handle in her elbow…..she shouted in pain…

"OOOOOUUUUCCCCHHHHHH….."…..the doodhwaalaa…started running jaan bachaake!!!!!

"U bas***d ……CANT U RING UR BICYCLE'S BELL……"……but it didn't have an effect on the doodhwaalaa……may be …he didn't understand ENGLISH…..seeing no effect she continued….

"SHAALAA TOOM ……SEETI TO MAARTAA JAATAA ……IDIOT….."…..

hahahahahaha…..that's miss Jaanvi's awesome Hindi…..who doesn't know the

difference in Ghanti(bell) & Seeti…..hearing this …the doodhwaalaa lost his balance

all over again…& POOR HE …..fell down ..& broke his leg

PRECAP: Christine coming face to face with RYAN..........
