A LOVESTORY||NiBir OS||19/12

She woke up from her sleep and tried searching for him, beside her, but he wasn't there, she opened her eyes completely and wandered them in their room to find him, but he was nowhere to be seen. She stood up from her side of her bed, wrapped in sheets, she went into the washroom and changed into her shorts and t-shirt. She walked into the balcony, and looked down to the ground floor, where he was playing football with the kids. She saw him and smiled. She turned around and leaned to the railing of the balcony, and remembered their love story, their saga.

We were both young, when I first saw you,

I closed my eyes ,

And the flashback starts.

She closed her eyes, and went into the flashback, where she stood in her balcony, looking at the wedding crowd passing by her apartment, their dance, their enjoyment was all funny, but it seemed good, enjoyable. She came back to the present and opened her eyes, to see him standing before her, looking at her lovingly, he placed his hands on either side of her on the railing, and came a little closer to her, and nuzzled his nose with her nose, and mumbled a good morning to her.

Kya karr rahi hain yahan..??he asked.

Unn puraane yaadon ko yaad kar rahi hun!"she said and placed a kiss on his nose.

He smiled and kissed her deeply looking into her eyes. she went into those moments again,

I'm standing there,

On the balcony, in summer air,

See the lights, see the party , the ball gowns,

See you make your way through the crowd ,

And say hello' little did I know,

she looked into that wedding crowd , when she noticed him again, piercing in through the crowd to her side, and stood on the ground floor looking at her, she looked at him as it was the umpteenth time, when she had seen him doing this , in the last two months, he stood there on the ground floor and waved his hand at her, she turned around trying to show that she didn't notice him, but she smiled, as seeing him every day was becoming a habit for her,

whenever she would go somewhere, he would follow her, and adore her, he never harmed her in anyway, Nisha knew him very well , as he was kabir, her classmate in the college, she liked him, but her family was a little conservative when it comes to such things, although being rich, so, she never told him though.

But it was getting difficult for her to stop herself from loving him, if she loved him, she had to tell him, as controlling her feelings for someone, was not made for her, she turned back again in her balcony , which was on the second floor of the apartment, and looked at him, to find him still standing there looking at her with hopeful eyes, she smiled looking at him, and waved back at him. He waved at her again excitedly and smiled like a kid. For some reason, her father came into the balcony to see him there again, and this time she too was waving at him, his anger crossed it's limits,

That you were Romeo,

You were throwing pebbles,

And my daddy said,

Stay away from Juliet,

And I was crying on the staircase begging you,

Please don't go, and I said,

Ye phirr aagaya...??damn it...today he is gone...!!"he said and skedaddled from there to the ground floor. While nishaa followed him, worried for him, she pleaded in front of him to stop, but he slapped her, and said that,

If you have a little respect left for your father , don't you dare come in between..!!"

Kabir interrupted in between , as it pricked his heart a thousand times, when ramesh hit her, his nisha,

Uncle...she didn't do anything...it was me who had been stalking her" said kabir.

Ramesh caught his collar and slapped him tight,

Dadd...please don't harm him...he loves me...and I love him.." she said crying in front of him.

You loving him, and him loving you doesn't matter to me at all...all that matters to me is my respect." Said he.

Dad...don't you love your daughter!?" she asked.

Daughters don't do such stuff dear...and by pleading for him, you have proved that you are not my daughter." He said irreverently.

Saying this he jerked her away, and called the security guards,

Security...isko uthaake baahar faink do..."said ramesh. And left the place, dragging nisha with him.

Dad,...please don't do that with him...don't harm him...what did he do...I love him..."she said pleading again.

The security guards hit him first, till he fell on the floor unconscious, kabir mumbled her name, in his unconscious state too.

Kabir was not a bad guy, nor was he poor or something like in the fictions and movies, where the leading lady was rich and her man a poor guy, beaten by his luck, . the only flaw with kabir was that, he was the son of the businessman Arjun Singh Rathore, Ramesh Gangwal's rival. There was no fault at all by him in this whole situation. The guards picked him up and threw him out of the gate, while nisha looked at him crying and shouting his name,

Kabirrr...kabirrr...please don't go...they'll marry me off!" she said.

Nisha andar chaloo..."said ramesh gripping her hand tight making her wince in pain.

Dad...it hurts..!!"she said.

So...get into your room right now...and get ready Riteish is coming tomorrow to see you!!"he said sadistically.

She walked into her room gloomily and sat on her bed crying, when something hit her on her hand, she looked at it, it was a stone, wrapped with some paper, she took the paper and read it,

Dear nisha,

I always knew that you loved me...thank you for accepting it today...i really ,really love you nisha, itnee dinoo se main yahin kehnaa chahtaa tha...don't worry nisha, you'll be with me, soon!and I won't let them marry you off to some idiot, because no one is a bigger k than me. J

Your love,

Kabir.

She felt happy reading it, SHE peeped out through her glass window to find him, she wandered her eyes here and there, and found him hiding behind a tree, she mumbled a sorry to him by holding her ears, he nodded his head in a no, instead, he kept his hand on his heart and then pointed towards her, then held his ears, which meant,

I am really sorry from my heart for making you go through so much pain"

Nisha nodded her head in a no, and said him to smile, she remembered something, she went back, took a pen, and flipped to the backside of that paper and wrote,

Dear kabir,

They won't let me and you unite, they are going to marry me off to Riteish, I can't marry him kabir, I love you and only you, if I would marry someone, that would be you, and no one else, let's run away kabir, I can't live in this hell anymore...they won't let us marry!"

Only yours,

Nisha.

she stopped thinking further,

Romeo take me,

Somewhere we can be alone,

I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run,

You'll be the prince, and,

I'll be the princess,

It's a lovestory, baby just say yes,

She wrapped the paper again, to that stone and threw it out of her window towards him, he picked it up and read the letter, all he did was nodded his head in a no'. nisha asked him through sign language,

Why?"

You trust me right..??"he asked through signs.

She nodded her head in a yes' like a kid.

Don't worry, I love you n you love me, n that's all we really know!" he said through signs.

Saying that kabir walked off from there smiling, as it was the best day of his life, when his feelings got the name of love, even she loved him too, he dragged his foot, which was injured towards his car, today, no pain was more than the happiness he had in his heart, he drove off to his house, he was asked many questions about his injuries, but he made an excuse of an accident and went into his room, he fell on his bed and started thinking about nisha, the same was the condition with nisha, she was thinking about kabir, she was locked in her own house.

The next day, Riteish came along his parents to see Nisha, Riteish and Nisha were school friends, actually forced friends, made by their parents, Nisha never liked Riteish's behavior towards her, he was too smarmy to be handled,he was in the same college as nisha and kabir, riteish and nisha were allegedly a couple, which was not true, spread by riteish and his friends. She never liked him, she was always attracted towards kabir.

Nisha was dressed in a beautiful pink dress, she never wanted to wear it, but she had to, she knew that this marriage was never going to happen, because she trusted her kabir, he would definitely come and take her out of this drama, she thought that riteish would say no for the marriage, as he loved breaking hopes of people, but surprisingly he said yes'.

I won't marry this gadhaaa...!"she shouted making her friends burst in laughter.

Riteish who was sipping to his ginger tea, spit it out in horror of her words,

Ye tu kya bol rahi hain nishaa...??"said riteish angrily eyeing at her. Shaadi to main tujhse hi karungaa...wo bhi bohot jald...aaj main engagement karne aaya hun...wo to main karke hi jaaungaa...:"he said forcing a ring into her finger which was a bit smaller for her. She tried protesting, but his grip was too tight on her, her mother too tried pleading to her father,but his reply was,

I have a meeting...I need to leave...!"he said and angrily left the place,

Riteish finally made her wear the ring, bruising her hand and fingers,

Now you are mine...don't you dare look at someone else...understood.?!" He asked.

Nisha didn't reply, instead tears flew from her eyes due to immense pain in her hands,

I think you understood well..!?right..?"he asked.

She didn't reply...he held her by shoulders tightly make her wince in pain and asked her again...she nodded in a yes so that, he doesn't hurt her anymore.

So, be happy, it's our marriage in the next ten days!"he said with a winning attitude.

But...why so soon...??"she asked.

Because I am saying that!" said he. And saying so he left the place, she walked into her room and banged the door on everyone's face.

She sat on the bed with frustration, when she saw her phone ringing, it was kabir's call,she picked it up, before she could speak, he spoke out,

n..n..ishu are you fine..??"he said insinuated.

k...kabirr...take me away please...I can't live here, no one is with me! It's my marriage in next ten days, please kabir..."she said crying.

I am coming nishaa...I am coming..don't cry..please..!" he said calming her down.

He came as he said, he stood just behind that same tree,

So I sneak out to the garden to see you,

We keep quiet, cause we are dead if they know,

So close your eyes, n

Escape this town for a little while.

She said that she is coming down to him, she secretly walked out of her house, and walked out of the building to him, and stood before him, he hugged her tight,

Please take me away, you are everything to me" she said..

Can you feel my heartbeats..??"he asked while hugging her.

Hmmm..."she replied.

My heart just beats for you nishaa...only for you!" he said kissing her forehead.

I know that kabir...see riteish got me engaged with him forcefully...what if does something else too..??"she asked like a kid.

He kept his hand on her mouth , making her stop talking,

I won't let anything happen nishaa...that's my promise, "he said and took her hand in his, to see all the bruises on her hand,

Did he do that..??"he said touching them as she winced in pain,

She nodded her head in a yes' while crying,

I'll kill him..."he started walking away in rage, but nisha caught his hand and pulled him back, and hugged him tight,

This pain is nothing kabir...in front of your love...I just want to be with you!" she said hugging him tight, and calming his anger,

Nishaa...I want to tell you something!"he said.

What..?"she asked.

I need to go nishaa...I need to prove myself in front of this world for you...I have an interview in London, if I would get this job, we would be free from this mess..., and I can marry you...and we be happy...i will be back in a week nisha...!"he said looking down.

But kabirr...how can you do that...what if they get me married to him, in these seven days,..??!"she asked with anxiety.

Nothing will happen...trust me..."he said cupping her face.

I know...i trust you...but what if...you couldn't come...??"she asked.

I will come...I promise you...I will free you out of this mess.. "he said kissing her forehead.

Don't go...please...I can't live without you...

Cause you were Romeo, n I was a scarlet letter,

And my daddy said, stay away from Juliet,

But you were everything to me,

I was begging you please don't go,

And I said,

I need to go nishaa...jaane de mujhee..."he said leaving her hand slowly and walking backwards.

Kabirr...mat jaa ..pleasee..."she said walking towards him while he walked backwards looking down gloomily.

Main waapas aaunga nishaa...wait for me...we are meant to be together..."he said and,

Before she could hold his hand, he turned back,...and walked away not looking back at her.

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone,

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run,

You'll be the prince and, I'll be the princess,

It's a lovestory, baby just say yes!

She fell there crying, while he walked away not even looking at her once, as he knew that if he would look back, he won't be able to go, he had to do something for her, so he had to go, or else they'll be stuck up with these chains of family...they won't let them be together, nisha's brother came in search of her, when he found her there, he really loved her sister, but in their family, the last decision was always of their father's. he made her stand up, and took her with him,

Sukku...wo chala gaya London...!"she said.

Nishaa...wo waapas aajayegaa ...main kabir ko jaanta hun achche se...bohot pyaar karta hain wo tujhse...aur jahan tak riteish ki baat hain...usko main dekhlungaa...abhi tu ghar chal...tera first aid karta hun main..."said sukku.

Par sukku...!!"she said.

Nishaa ...pata hain mujhee...papa ko bhi sambhaal lungaa...ab khush...??chal ab mere saath!" he said. And took her with him into the house secretly.

The next few days , were hell for her...she didn't talk to him, for almost five days, and her family always forced her to do things, her freedom was not in her hands anymore, she was feeling like a criminal behind the bars...for a minute she thought of suicide too...but ,

I'll come back soon...I love you...trust me!" his words ran in her mind,

Romeo save me, they are tryin to tell me , How to feel,

This love is difficult, but it's real,

Don't be afraid we'll make it out of this mess,

It's a lovestory, baby just say yes!

She sent him many messages...called him many times...but no use...he didn't reply, it would be even difficult to say that those messages reached him or not...did he miss her...and if he missed her then why didn't her call her for even once, ...did he leave her to go with her fate...no...the answer was a clear no...he loved her...and he told her many times...although the distance between them was making their bond stronger...but the trust on him was fading...many phantom questions wandered in her mind, did their story end..

I got tired of waiting,

Wondering if you were ever coming around,

My faith in you was fading,

When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

It was the tenth day...the day of her marriage...her marriage with Riteish, but kabir never came, he said that he would come in a week, where was he, did something happen to him, was he ever coming back to her...she got ready as said by her parents...for her marriage...she stood infront of the mirror in her room, and imagined him to be beside her,but as he turned to touch him, he disappeared into the thin air, she sat down on her bed crying,

Kabirr...where are you...I can't do this...i can't do this anymore..!!"shouted nisha.

Romeo save me, I have been feeling so alone,

I keep waiting for you, but you never come,

She changed into her normal casual dress, as she couldn't do this anymore, she wore her shorts and hoodies, and grabbed her bag, leaving a message for him,

Dear kabir,

I don't know what you think about me, but I just can't do this anymore...I am running away...from this mess... I love you...I am coming to you...in search of you!

Your love,

Nisha.

, and this time the message showed that it was delivered, a reply came for her message, which was not at all expected,

Okaayy...come then...I am waiting...jaldi..!"said thye message.

The message was weird, she thought nothing else, she opened the door of her room, when she crashed into someone, she closed her eyes due to fear of getting caught, when she heard something which blew her mind away,

Aankhen khol...dekh main aagaya..."it was his voice.

She opened her eyes, to see him knelt down before her with a small box in his hand, which contained a beautiful ring, and smiling at her, and looking at her with those same hopeful eyes,

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think,

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,

Here I am nisha, as I promised, right infront of you, "he said smiling at her.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at him again to see if it was true, or her hallucination, but it wasn't, it was true, he was true, right in front of her! She crashed herself into his arms, and cried a lot, cursing him for being away from her, cursing herself for thinking wrong about him,

I love you...I love you so much..!"she said sobbing.

I love you too..!!"he said.

She stood straight...while he forwarded the box of ring infront of her,

So, my dear Juliet, will you marry me, today, itself?" he asked.

Tears flew from her eyes, she nodded her head like a kid in a yes'

Marry me Juliet ,

You never have to be alone,

I love you n , that's all I really know,

I talked to your dad, go pick out a wedding dress,

It's a love story, baby just say yes!

But what about my dad..?? Your parents...??"She asked.

There they are..."he said pointing towards a bunch of people who were looking at them in awe, her dad came forward and apologized for his behavior.

What about Riteish..??"She asked curiously.

I understood what he was kid, when he treated you that way on your engagement day, I wanted to break off that engagement the same day, but my mind didn't allow. Then I thought of finding what kabir was, that you loved him so much...was your choice better than mine..I kept wondering , if I was wrong...and it took me so much time...I am really sorry for being rude to you nisha..Kabir is the perfect one for my daughter..!" said ramesh.

They got married the same day...!

.and this is how our love story was" said nisha.

Cause we were both young, when I first saw you!

Yupp...I remember it all...!" he said breaking the kiss.

He hugged her and took her into their room.
