Rishbala 2s: The Unknown Love updated 10/12

When I opened my eyes, I felt haziness around myself. After sometime, the haziness slowly cleared. Now I can see that I am lying on a bed and everything around me was outrageously white. Two persons were pacing in the room. I was having a bad headache.

I think I am lying on a bed in a nursing home. My brain is not working properly. I could not understand what I am doing here, and hoe I came here.

A nurse came to me smiling after seeing me moving. She said, "Chalo accha hua, aapko hosh aagaya. Ab kaisa lag raha hai?"

I smiled in reply. She continued, "Bhukh lage to mujhe kehna. Abhi aap oup pee sakte hai."

I moved my hand to tell her a no. I was not feeling to talk to anyone. Before leaving the nurse said, "Agar humein bulana ho to yeh bell bajana," and showed me a switch beside my bed.

After she left, I observed everything around me. The room is not much big. Its a four bede cabin. Apart from me, another patientis present and the rest two beds are vacant. I don't know whether its day or night. What's even today's date?

After a few minutes, I found a clock in the room. It was 16: 00. That means its evening. Thinking about evenings, I remembered one of my life's most important evenings.

There was a cafe just in front of the university. It was the favourite place of the students where everyone had their all types of discussions and gatherings. I was late that day. All o fmy friends had arrived. As soon as I entered, Mukund shouted, "Dekho friends Ranbir Kapoor aa gaya. Aaj kaunsa naya item hai, jo itni der ho gayi??"

My name is not Ranbir Kapoor, its Rishabh Kundra. My friends think that I am equally handsome and charming as Ranbir Kapoor and also I am a lady killer like him. Also we share the same initials. So I am called so. Even I enjoy this thing. I don't know how much lady killer is Ranbir Kapoor but I am very much interested in girls. In the last two years I had four girl friends. Each relationship was for about four months. Love and one day cricket were two equal things for me. I feel that no tension should be taken regarding love and all. One should forget every single thing within 2 hours of break up.

Today I noticed a new girl beside Madhu. I had seen this girl before. She has a beautiful figure. I sat between adhu and Sultan. Sultan introduced me to the girl, "Yeh Ria hai, new in university nut Madhu ki purani dost hai. So, aaj se wo humari bhi dost hai."

I advanced my hand. She shook my hand and smiled at me. She had a perfectly beautiful smile. While other friends were chitchatting, I was busy drooling on Ria.

Suddenly I heard Mukund giving my character certificate to Ria. He spoke, "You know Ria, humare Ranbir Kapoor ko achanak se pyaar ho jata hai aur teen mahino mein break up bhi ho jata hai. Break up ka technique bhi ajeeb hai. Ladki ko kissi acchi si restaurant mein bhejta hai aur khud yaha baitha rehta hai."

I could not stop Mukund from proceeding. Everyone was laughing. He continued, "Jab ladki usse baar baar phone karti hai, to pehle phone kaat deta hai aur fir sms bhejta hai kissi aur ko dhundh lo'."

I don't know why I felt that Mukund is not only joking but trying to insult me in front of Ria. Or else, why would he tell all these secrets ofmine to a newly met girl? Is he jealous??

Suddenly I saw Madhu advancing me her guitar and whispered in my ear, "Ek gaana, ladki fida..." Then she winked and announced, "Friends...ab RK ek gaana gaayea." You know, this is why I loved Madhu, my best friend so much. She always knew what I was thinking and what I wanted.

I sang Tum hi ho' by Arijit Sungh. I saw Ria's eyes getting full of admiration for me. She told, "Bohot accha gaana gaate ho." I thanked her. She continued, "Kyat um mujhe pls lyrics likhke doge??"

Mukund interrupted us saying, "RK baad mein karna yeh sab." Ria gave me a sallpaper writing her email address and said, "Mail kardena please."

That night I called Madhu.

M- Hello?

RK- Hi! Kya kar rahi hai?

M- Kuch nahi bas...

RK- EK favour karegi??

M- Don't be so formal yaar bata..

RK- Ria teri bohot dino ki friend hai na??

M- to???

RK- Nahi, wo teri itni purani dost aur main nahi jaanta, aaisa kaise hua??

M-Arre actually wo meri behen hai, meri phuphi ki beti. Phuphi ke ghar jaate jaate usse gehri dosti ho gayi. Par tu itna kyun puch raha hai?

RK- I want her to be my new girlfriend yaar.

M-Ooops!!! Ab samjhi...new game. Boss, tu itni ladkiyon ka boyfriend bana, lekin mujhe nahi dekha??

RK- Tu bohot jyada acchi hai isliye...

M- Cha lab rehne de, tera kaam ho jaayega.

RK- Love you yaar, tere jaisa dost sabko mile

M-Lekin haan, uski history kaafi kharab hai.

RK- Arre yaar, jiski geography itni acchi hai, uski history se kya lena dena??
M- Samjhi, bilkul romeo ban gaya hai tu.

For about four months, I and Ria had facebook chats. Most of our conversation was rubbish but still I had to bear them as it was a part of falling in love. All our friends used to pull our legs except Mukund. He was always busy being jealous of me, which I enjoyed.

After a few months, I realised that the prem game I had started with her was not just a game for me. I was noticing a change inside myself. I was not able to concentrate on anything. Always I thought about Ria and nothing else. I was busy with her all the time, in phone or facebook or face to face. I kept on thinking. Nothing as such had happened before, then why now? How can I like a single girl for so many days? So many questions but no answer.

It was Valentines' day after two days. I decided that it would not be right to delay anymore. I invited her to a big restaurant on the day to celebrate the day together. She accepted and I started to dream about the day.

I had bought a ring for Ria from my savings. I decided to gift her a perfect wedding ring after getting employed. I was standing at the bus stop. It would fifteen minutes to reach the restaurant. Suddenly I saw a middle aged man falling from the door of a bus.

I rushed to him and examined him. He was still alive but his head was bleeding badly. I tied his head tightly with my handkerchief. No one came to my help. I stopped the taxi and took the man to the nearest hospital. From his mobile I called his family and paid the admission charge. It was the same hospital where I am in today.

I was sitting in the hospital loby. The man had gained consciousness and his wife had arrived. She thanked me a lot of times. In between, Ria called me once. After hearing everything she said, "Oh! Its okay then..." Then whenever I called it was switched off.

I returned home late that night. I had to explain my family about the incident. Finally when I got online on facebook, I was shocked!!! Ria had blocked me!! There was a last message of hers on my wall I should not have forgotten Mukund's warning on the first day."

Sorry for the mistakes friends...
