damn that was hella good!!!!!!!!!!!!

man i didnt want it to end!!

i read part 1 yesterday but didnt comment

part 2 was wowzers!

plz cont sooon!

Hey guys,

I saw a beautiful movie yesterday, abhi do you know this movie, "Naa Autograph", a very beautiful story of the journey of a man from his school day to success. His first crush, then college betrayal, a depressive mode, then finding a best friend who inspires him about true life and finally marriage. It had something which really touched me, a part of everybody's life which had been lost in memories.

Coming back to this, why did you think the last part was the end? Well, the way I had written you might have felt that it had ended, but there is a good news, there are two more parts to go, manzil toh abhi baaki hain na… …the point of giving such a turn was to write how they meet again and how they rebuild their relationship… …I hope this will reduce the amount of belans…He!!!He!!!!

ENJOY!!!!

PART -3

The wild west wind blew wandering over the heavens, driving dead leaves, yellow, black, pale and hectic red like ghosts fleeing from an enchanter, with it she carried the winged seeds which lay cold and low each like a corpse within its grave under the black soil…the breeze grew stronger like a chariot driving through dark wintry bed…making a lousy tumult…bani looked at the clear blue sky, the clouds were departing… the monsoon was over, the winter arriving… …the wind whooshed her clarion over the dreaming earth… driving sweet buds like flocks…filling the air with unique untapped odors against the living hues, plains and hills of the compact Mt. Abu… …the little birdie came out of the clock, cuckooing, indicating the time… …her children would come…to learn painting… she quickly took out all the painting stuff… …she placed the wooden stand in the veranda… and fixed the half-finished canvas…the second coating was left…she was making the sunset…one by one the children started pouring in, carrying their drawing books pencils, erasers, crayons, paints and pastels… …they all settled down on the mat and opened their books before greeting her… …

"Aaj hum…sunset banayenge…" bani said with enthusiasm and explained them how to sketch the mountains… …
*******
Jai leaned back in his leather chair…he gazed at his laptop screen, bani's radiant face smiled back at him…he lifted his hand to caress the screen…these few months had been spent in extreme retrospection…being able to peep inside him, rediscover himself…come to terms with his fears, insecurities…he realized his grave mistake of taking bani for granted… conveniently ignoring her…she was not worth the ill treatment he gave her…she deserved much more, all the love and happiness in the world…but after months of ordeal a certain thing remained constant, he wanted bani back in his life…and he was ready to go to any extent for her… …probably it was time to reach out to her…he had made her wait too much…he smiled at the thought of meeting her after such a long time, he had missed her terribly… …

Aditya glared at his friend who was foolishly smiling to himself… …a lot has changed in these past few months, bani's departure, then massi coming to know about what had happened and her leaving angrily, rano and pia's emotional breakdown, even in such pitted chaos jai maintained a stoic silence…he was lost in his own virtual world, always involved in some thoughts, and now a days he was too happy…he was behaving strangely…rather, he had always thought that jai and bani were perfect for each other but their untimely separation was unexpected, probably they could have worked it out, jai's unique attitude confused him…

Aditya moved ahead…"Jai…" he called out…but he seemed to have not listened…aditya was astounded to catch him gazing at bani's wallpaper on his laptop…

"Jai…" aditya called loudly…jai jerked out of his thoughts; he quickly shut the laptop screen…

"Y…yes…adi…" he blabbered jumping in his seat… Aditya stood watching him intently…

"You will tell or I have to ask…" he said with hands on his hips…jai made an exaggerated expression of ignorance but aditya knew him too much to be bullied…

"Well, I and bani…" jai started…
*******
Bani waved the children good bye…she looked at her painting, it was almost done…the sun hiding behind the brown green hills…overlooking a small town…she picked up the stand to keep it inside for drying… … she washed her painted hands and wiped them clean…

She sat on the steps of the backyard…looking into oblivion…coming back to Mt. Abu was a reliving experience, the beautiful memories of her childhood, her mother, her father came alive in her house…the happy, sad, cute, sweet, bitter, memoirs which were in deep slumber woke up, as if a they were coming to life again, every corner of the villa held a special remembrance… …wish time never moved, wish it was like a caravan walking at will and stopping at will, but time was like a flowing river, never ceasing to move… rushing forwards…

Her thoughts moved back to the promise made to her…

"I will come…" his words still echoed in her ears… would he…would he remember his promise…would he come…she fiddled with her fingers…her apprehensions never rested in peace since she left him…she wondered whether being so stubborn and coming here was a wise decision…but somewhere she knew they needed time…she knew he would come…she had seen it in his intense eyes that night…

For the first time in her life she was thinking about herself, her life, it had always been rano, pia, Mr. Walia and then the walia house…but for the first she had made a decision for herself…she was glad she did, she was tired of making compromises for others, thinking about others, the others were her sisters but still she had somewhere lost her prime identity, and coming back to her birth place she had again found it… …
*******
Aditya gawked at jai with utter disbelief …

"So much happened and I know nothing, you didn't even bother to tell me…" aditya looked hurt…jai sighed…

"Adi, it was…I…was unsure myself about what I wanted…bani was right, we needed to find ourselves first to start again….we can't begin with loose ends…" jai defended…

"But you could have told me…"

"Sorry…but I think it's high time I and bani think about ourselves…we have had enough shouldering responsibilities…"

"What do you plan to do…?"

"Well, I am taking off, that's why I have finished all my pending work…for the next five months I am with bani…" jai said with a content smile…

"Five months…" aditya shrieked…jai grinned…

"I have to make up for many many things…" jai said with a tilt of his head…

"And how do you think we can manage…"

"Come on adi, you are there, ranveer is there, sahil and rano have also joined the office, I am sure you all are competent…I plan to get Pushkar back… I think I deserve a break…"

"Of course…"

"Good…"

"Can I tell something?"

"Hmm…"

"I always thought you and bani were perfect for each other…"

"I know…" they both looked each other and broke into peals of laughter…

"I am really happy for you jai…you deserve all the happiness and love…" aditya said…

They chat was interrupted by a knock…

"Come in…" jai called…it was pushkar standing hesitantly…

"Hello pushkar come in…" jai said jovially, pushkar looked surprised, where was the man who left no stone unturned to taunt him…

"You called me jai sir…" pushkar said like a frightened lamb…

"Yes, pushkar…coming to the point, I want you to join Walia Group again…" jai said…

"Mr. Walia…" pushkar looked shocked…

"I know pushkar a lot has happened but let bygones be bygones, we need efficient people like you…and moreover bani would definitely like to have her best friend back…" jai said with a smug smile…pushkar looked even more shocked now…

"Bani…" pushkar uttered…jai smirked guessing his dilemma…

"I guess adi will update you on this…you can join from tomorrow, the same post as before…Welcome back pushkar…" jai thumped his back before leaving… …

I am coming bani…he said to himself… …
*******
Bani unmindfully sat on her knees over the soil terrain of the front garden, the earthen flower pot was placed before her, a few stems of deep red rose lying beside her…she poured some water into the pot, digging her hands in the soil, mixing the soil particles with the water till a thick consistency was attainted, she didn't realize how much water she was pouring, she moved her hands in the murky paste of liquid soil…her fingers travelling in and out…she looked at the horizon with blank thoughts…the mud stuck to her hands till her elbows…her palms came in contact with a pebble, she caressed it before throwing it away carelessly…she stared at her open left palm, the fingers of her right palm reached to inscribe JAI on her palm…she glowered at it...a strand of her hair escaped the knot which was resting peacefully at her nape…she moved her arm to remove it…but it fell again and again…a steady breeze blew…suddenly she felt aware of something…her eyes shifted towards the gate…a figure was standing…she blinked her eyelids…it was jai…she pushed back her hair smearing her forehead with mud…she got up and ran towards him with full speed…just halting shortly before him, panting she stared at him wide-eyed… …jai gave her a small smile…she leapt ahead hugging him tightly even forgetting her muddy state…her eyes filled with tears…jai clasped his arms around her…pulling her towards himself, he had yearned for this warmth for so long… …

"Sshh…I am here…" he whispered, pacifying her who was sobbing uncontrollably… she clung to him further…
*******
"I am sorry…" bani said biting her lower lip, as she examined his expensive coat smudged with brown mud…

"For a welcome like that, I am ready to sacrifice countless coats…" jai joked…bani looked away blushing at her embarrassment…

"I think you should fresh up…your room is that way…" bani said pointing in the other direction…

"You mean our room…" jai said…with a naughty grin…

"No your room…" she stressed…

"You are not going to make it easy for me do you?"

"Certainly not…you have to earn it Jai Walia" she said cheekily…

"Your wish is my command your highness…" jai did a slight bow before picking his suitcase…bani giggled…leaving for her room to get cleaned… …
*******
The aroma of the fresh coffee beans trickled his nostrils…he threw the towel on the chair and made his way out to find bani, fresh as a lily, making coffee…

"Ummm…the smell's so good…I missed your coffee…" jai said coming inside the kitchen and sitting on the small stool…bani turned and smiled at him, she looked at him intently…he was looking different in his casual clothes, khaki pants and pure white cotton shirt…it was the first time she was seeing him so relaxed, the worry lines amiss from his forehead… instead there were a few short strands of his wet hair falling over the flat surface raffishly…she liked the change… …

"I know I am really handsome…but no need to stare at me like that…" jai waved his palm in front of her…bani bent her head, her cheeks coloring, she turned around and poured his black coffee in a mug and handed him, she put some milk in hers and cupped the mug, feeling the warmth radiating through it…she blew over the rim for the coffee to make it a little cool…

"I…I have never seen you like this…" she said unable to stop herself from asking, leaning against the granite slab…he let out small laugh …

"I know…actually in carrying out my responsibilities I didn't even realize I had lost myself…jai had disappeared…"he said sheepishly…bani gave him a somber look…

"But through you I have met him again…and I promise he will never be lost again with you by my side…" he said…

Bani simply nodded her head…she felt too much at present to react… …
*******
"Wow…bani you are a wonderful painter…" jai said feeling proud, she was surely a gifted artist…bani just smiled…he helped her carry the stand to the veranda…

"Why didn't you take up painting, you are a natural…" jai said…looking at the sunset painted to perfection on the canvas…

"Never got the time actually…rano aur pia ko smbhalte I had to stop it…" bani said remorsefully…

"Now that I am here for 5 months, I might just learn it…" jai said, bani looked at him dumbfounded…

"5 months…" her eyes popped out…

"I have finished all my pending work and for the next 5 months I am all yours…" he said mischievously…

"But…" bani said quite stirred by his action…jai leaned over her, keeping his index finger over her lips…

"Sshh…I have to make up for the lost time…I had kept you waiting for so long…" he said…bani felt strange sensations pass through her…her cheeks burned…she kept gaping at him…their brief eye lock was interloped by the children who came in running… …

"Bani auntie who is is he?" a little neha questioned curiously…bani ruffled her hair…

"He is…" before bani could complete…jai spoke up…extending his hand towards neha he said sweetly…

"Hi cutie, I am jai uncle, your bani auntie's husband…"

"Husband…" neha exclaimed…jai nodded her head in affirmative…she gently let out her small little palm in his, jai shook it softly…

"What's your name…?" jai asked…

"Neha…"she said looking at him with awe…

"So sweet…" he pinched her rosy cheek lightly…

"Where were you?" she asked…bani smiled…her box of questions was open now she would go on and on…

"I had some work…" jai said…

"What do you do?" jai smiled at her never-ending questionnaire…

"Neha, chalo, lets draw…" bani held her hand and made her sit…

Jai watched bani interacting with the kids…he somehow saw a slight reflection of his mother in her…What would it be like to have a child, his and hers…??? He could actually imagine a cute little girl wearing a frilly frock…she would be a wonderful mother…he mused before going inside to make a few phone calls, to enquire if everything was smooth sailing…

"You seem to be too happy…" aditya teased him…

"Hmm…" jai said looking out at bani through the slits of the window who was busy teaching neha to color…

"I am dying to see you both…" aditya said…jai laughed…

"Adi, it's only a day I have come here, there are five months to go…" jai reminded him…

"We will be waiting for you both…to come home…"

"Soon adi…soon…"

P.S: Yes, I have seen in Tamil. I think in Telugu, its Ravi Teja... i liked the character of Sneha/Bhumika... its such a refreshing role in the era of masala glamorous female roles... but i dint like the movie much... but its a well-made movie with each character etched beautifully... i cant dislike the movie... 😉
