Part 7 (last)

A year later

“The lost sun found his light again and is blazing with increased intensity.”

“Looks like old Neil is back again and what a comeback!”

“The exhibition themed ‘eternal wait’ is all about love, wait of a lover, showcasing pain and sufferings of a lover’s journey and finally the joy of reunion. Every painting is capable of making you feel the emotions hidden inside them. Neil Oberoi, this time, has touched our heart.”

Mickey finished reading some of the reviews. He looked at Neil with pride.

“Bro, I am so happy for you. To be honest we had almost lost the hope that you will be able to cope up with mom’s death and will be able to paint again with that same old passion.”Mickey said as he made Neil wear a watch that he gifted to Neil on the occasion of his first successful painting exhibition after a long gap.

Neil’s paintings were praised by everyone, common people, arts critiques, fans, media. No one could find any fault in it this time. He had got positive reviews from everywhere.

“I cant believe its just second day and almost all the paintings are sold. This is one of your most successful exhibitions.” Mickey said in excitement.

“When you went to Patiala, we didn’t think that was right place for you and when you came back all lost and tormented, we couldn’t understand what has happened? You never told us bro. We were thinking now we will never have our old Neil back but you proved us wrong when after few days you started working on your paintings. We were surprised what changed in you, how you found your lost confidence but we are not worried about the reason. We got you back and thats enough for us. I am happy that you found your inspiration back.” Mickey hugged Neil.

“No, I am still waiting for her.” Neil replied.

“Huh! What?” Mickey asked in confusion.

“For my inspiration, still waiting for her...she had promised she will attend my exhibition but.....its ok...I trust her...she said hum phir milenge....jarur milenge. I will wait for her.” Neil replied getting emotional.

“What are you saying? Kiske bare mein baat kar rahe ho?” Mickey asked.

“Nothing....just let it be....lets go we are getting late.” Neil changed the topic.

“Ya, we are getting late. And dad said some VIP is coming to attend it today. Dad will also be there to welcome them.”

“Must be someone really important. Dad never really visits my exhibitions more than once.” Neil wondered.

“Ya, he is some high rank bureaucrat, he is ambassador to Australia and his daughter is your fan.” Mickey informed.

“Hmm, you mean I'll have to put up fake smile and let them click my pictures like I am some antique piece.” Neil laughed, he didnt like these kind of fan moment.

Both of them left for the hall.

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

In the car, Neil was checking his emails. His inbox was full of fan mails and congratulation messages. He scanned them all with his eyes for brief moment then stopped at one email. It was from, “MeenakshilovesNeilxoxo@...,com, Neil smiled as he opened it.

“What happen?” Mickey asked the reason for his smile. Then he saw in his phone he was checking his email. "Wow! you are checking fan mails...thats quite a rare sight." Mickey expressed his surprise.

“Nothing, its just...you know since few years whenever there is my painting exhibition, this user, I guess she is a girl named Meenakshi, sends me a long message full of praises for my paintings and....” Neil answered but was interrupted by Mickey.

“So what? I guess you must be getting hundreds of fan mails everyday. And I know my bro is handsome so girls going crazy and praising you is not quite unusual. So what is so special about this message?” Mickey shared his views.

“Ya, I know but whats unusual about this is it has the cheesiest username I have ever come across. So the fan seems a bit frivolous kind...you know those...who dont know anything about the craft of a person but follow just because they look good. But what surprises me is that this one has deep knowledge about paintings and seems like she kinda reads my painting, analyze it even criticize it and also gives me suggestions...you know something like mom use to do...it amazes me that someone understands my paintings so much other than mom and....." Neil stopped suddenly as he was about to take Minni's name. When Mickey looked at him he continued, "This girl, whoever she is...frivolous and intense at the same time. So now I wait for the message from this particular email. And she just keeps stalking me everywhere on social media sending sugar coated lovey dovey cheesy quotes but the thing is, inspite for getting irritated sometimes, they bring smile on my face.” Neil explained.

“Wow! You know what? You should try to communicate with her. She seems your types. Who knows? May be she is the one for you. Dikhne mein kaisi hai?” Mickey teased.

Suddenly Neil became serious, “I dont know how does she looks, I have never seen her and no, she is not the one. I am still waiting for....” Neil said but then trailed off. He again remembered Minni’s last words.

Main tennu phir milangi

Kitthe? Kis tarah? Nahi pata

Par tennu milangi jarur

Neil sighed, “She promised me and I will wait for her.”

“Bro, ye aapko kabhi kabhi kya ho jata hai? Kaha kho jate ho aur ye kiske bare mein baatein karte rehte ho?” Mickey asked again.

“Nothing, you wont understand, leave it...chalo utro venue aa gaya.” Neil replied and both of them got out of the car.

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

Neil was communicating with the media when his dad came with someone.

“Neil, meet my special guest, Mr. Sabarwal, he is IFS currently working as govt.’s ambassador to Australia. He has come all the way from Australia just for this exhibition.”Neil’s dad made introductions.

“Oh really? I didn’t know you like my paintings this much. Its really an honour to have you here.”Neil greeted him.

“To be honest, I know very little about paintings and stuff.” Mr. Sabarwal replied.

When Neil and his dad gave him confused looks he added further, “Actually, my daughter, she is your very big fan. She has been pestering me from some time now that she wants to comes to your exhibition and meet you in person. She is my only daughter, I am very protective about her. She has never been to India before. So I was skeptical to send her alone. Thats why I came here too.” Mr. Sabarwal explained.

“Oh, where is she? Call her, I will introduce her to Neil.” Neil’s dad said.

“She was so excited for this exhibition and to meet you that she came here early in the morning. She must be here somewhere seeing your paintings. I’ll call her.” Mr. Sabarwal replied and dialled his daughter’s number.

“Minni beta where are you? What are you doing in inner hall? Come outside....” Mr. Sabarwal said on phone but Neil could only listen to her name, Minni...did he say Minni? Could she be....her?

“Its ok, I mean...let it be...Main khud waha chala jata hoon use milne...” Neil said and asked Mr. Sabarwal to cut the call. Before anyone could have understood anything Neil hurried to the inner hall.

As he entered the hall he saw a girl wearing knee length black dress and high heels was admiring one of his painting. The paintings which he thought were not worth displaying were kept in here in the inner hall just for few family and friends. Neil watched her as she put some of her long hairs aside. His heartbeats increased in anticipation. Is she really his Minni? From backside she looks like her a lot but...is she really her?

Neil took steps towards her. He was nervous as hell. With shaking hands he touched her shoulder. She turned around to see who was there. She kept looking at Neil with her big brown eyes, her mouth first was open in surprise then her lips curved into a big smile.

“Oh my God! Neil Oberoi, its you, oh my God! I cant believe I am standing in front of you. Finally, after all these years...finally I am meeting you. You dont know how happy I am.I am your biggest fan. I just love you...I mean I love your paintings...No,actually I love you too....I am...God! what am I saying? Neil Oberoi in front of me and I am attending his painting exhibition....I think I am gonna faint, my dream has come true.....” The girl kept blabbering but Neil was not in a position to say anything. He just kept looking at her without even blinking. He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe his luck, his wait was finally over. His Minni was finally in front of him. Same eyes, same features, height, health, heck! Even same voice, a totally different personality but she was his Minni. He could tell that she was truly her. How she came back? How she is related to Mr.Sabarwal? If she was ghost then how she is standing in front of him in human form?Is it her rebirth? But its been only one year since she has gone, how come she grew up so fast? There were several questions running in Neil’s mind but like he lost his tongue. He was just drinking in her beauty.

On the other hand Minni was mesmerized looking at Neil. She kept seeing him with her eyes full of astonishment, happiness and love. She had imagined this meeting millions of times in her mind but when this finally happened she was just blabbering. She didn’t know what to say, how to say?

As if on a cue the song played in the hall to express their feelings, thought it was only instrumental but both of them knew the words well enough to relate to it.

Aayi aisi raat hai jo
Bohat khush-naseeb hai
Chaahe jisse door se duniya
Vo mere kareeb hai
Kitna kuch kehna hai
Fir bhi hai dil mein sawaal kaheen
Sapnon mein jo roz kaha hai
wo phir se kahun Ya nahee

Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Ho...

“Can I….can I….get a…a..hug?” She stammered nervously.

Neil could only nod and extend his arms. He was glad she asked herself as he was also dying to do that.Minni's happiness knew no bound and she just threw herself in his arms.

Teresaath saath aisa
Koi noor aaya hai
Chaand teri raushni ka
Halka sa ik sayaa hai
Teri nazron ne dil ka kiya jo hasharr
Asarr ye hua
Ab inmein hi doobke ho jaaun paar
Yehi hai dua

Aankhonmein teri
Ajab si, ajab si, adaayein hain
Ho...

“Neil, I cant tell how happy I am.” Minni said pulling back after sometime.

“I know Minni. I am also very happy.” Neil replied.

“How do you know my nickname?” She asked in surprise.Then answered it on her own. “Oh! Papa must have told you when he called me on phone...right?”

Neil just kept looking at her without saying anything. She hit her head with her hand lightly. “Offo, kitni buddhu hoon main bhi. Itna badbad kiye ja rahi hoon tabse aur abhi tak I haven’t even introduced myself properly. Hello, I am Meenakshi Sabarwal. I think you might have a little bit of idea about me already. I am the one who stalks you everywhere on social media. Send you those cheesy messages.” Minni replied with sheepish smile.

When she saw confusion on Neil’s face she clarified, “MeenakshilovesNeilxoxo@...,com, does it rings a bell?”

“So its you? No doubt you understand my paintings so well...destiny and its strange ways.” Neil said more to himself than to her and laughed.

Minni looked at him confused. But thought not to say anything as his laughter was melodious to her ears. She didn’t wanna disturb.

“All these paintings, its so beautiful....” Minni said to carry on the conversation but Neil interrupted her.

“These are nothing. I haven’t kept my best painting here. And the painting which was supposed to be the highlight is also not here. Someone promised me to come and I wanted to show those paintings to that person first. So I didn’t showcase them here. You wanna see them?” Neil asked.

“Do you even need to ask?” Minni answered.

“They are not here. Its in my house. You wont mind coming with me to there...would you?” Neil asked.

“Of course not, I can go anywhere with you, wherever you take me.” Minni replied looking into his eyes, showing her trust in him.

Neil smiled and held her hand. Both of them went to Oberoi mansion. Neil took her to the room where he used to make his paintings. Minni entered there and saw there were many paintings in the room and one big one was there in the centre. All were covered. She couldn’t see clearly what was it about but she could make out that it was a painting of some person.

Neil went there and removed the cover from his special painting. Minni looked at it and she was shocked. She couldn’t believe it was her painting. She kept lookingat it and slowly went near it. She caressed it as if trying to figure out that she is really that beautiful or its the magic of Neil’s painting. But then hundreds of questions were coming into her mind and she looked at Neil who was busy uncovering all other paintings and to her utter shock, in all of them there was only her face.

Minni couldn’t say anything for a long time. But she found her voice back somehow, “Neil....how...I mean...we never met before....you have never seen me...I dont have my original pic in any social media site....how...”

“Why did you come here? You are my fan since some years now but you never came earlier. Why this time?” Neil asked a question in reply.

“To be honest, I tried everytime to come here, meet you but something or other kept coming in between my plans but this time it was like....I dont know, I was feeling restless. I felt I’ll be doing biggest mistake of my life if I missed this exhibition and meeting you this time. So I left everything and came here.” Minni replied honestly.

Neil smiled because he knew the answer. He knew why she fell in love with him? Why she chose this day to meet him. Its was all their destiny, their love, true love which chose not to disappoint him and give him back his happiness.

Manreet, his love promised him that she will be attending his exhibition and she also promised him that she will meet him, she will come in his life again. He didn’t know how it will happen? In what form, in which circumstances but he knew she will fulfill her promise. And now, She was in front of his eyes in the form of Meenakshi, to answer his love, to be his inspiration.” Neil thought.

“Its a very long story, I will tell you sometime later." Neil finally answered her question. He added further, "For now I can only say that we were destined to meet. You were always mine. I was waiting for you only. Now that you have come, I wont let you go away from me anywhere. Minni, I love you. Marry me, be mine forever.” Neil proposed.

Minni gasped, she tilted her head to one side and kept looking at him with mouth half open. He didnt gave clear answer to any of her question. How the hell he painted her without seeing her, how come he is already in love with her? But do all these questions really matter when the biggest dream of her life is coming true? So, leaving behind all the doubt Minni could only concentrate on, “He proposed me. Neil Oberoi proposed me. He loves me. This is too good to be true.” She thought and fainted.

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

Two years later

“Neil, what are you doing? Let me open my eyes.” Minni said third time as she was fed up now.

“Arre thoda sabr karo bas hum pahuch gaye.” Neil replied and finally removed his hand from her eyes.

Minni saw they were in his painting room. “My dear hubby, why you have brought me here. All guest are there outside for our wedding anniversary party.

“You had asked me in the morning right that you forgot to bring me anniversary gift and I can ask for anything from you.” Neil reminded her.

“Yes and you said you will tell me in the evening what do you want.” Minni replied.

Neil nodded and pointed his finger towards a painting, “I want that.”

Minni smiled at him and went forward to uncover the painting. She blushed as she saw the painting. He had again painted her but this time he had drawn her as pregnant and there was a cute baby she was dreaming about.

“Oh Neil, this is...beautiful.” Minni replied as she couldn’t stop her tears.

“You have fulfilled all my beautiful dreams now I want you to fill colors in this dream also?” Neil asked wiping her tears.

“Can I ever say no to you for anything?” Minni asked and threw herself in his arms, kissing him on the lips, letting him know her answer.

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

To some people their story will seem weird. There are many scenarios to it, so many possibilities, like first one is, it was a mere coincidence. A girl with same face, same features, same love for Neil, coming in front of him on the day of his exhibition as it was promised to him.

Second is, it could be figment of Neil’s imagination and there was no Manreet ever. He was depressed, on a verge of giving up. So as a defence mechanism his mind lead him to believe in the delusion of Manreet who gave him the hope to survive.

Third, Neil already knew about Meenakshi and subconsciously fell in love with her because of her emails but didn’t realize it and then when she appeared in front of him, her uncanny resemblance to Manreet made him believe that both are same.

Fourth, was it the manifestation of Neil’s undying, unconditional true love which showed itself in physical form of Meenakshi?

But do any of the scenarios justify the weird story of Neil and Minni fully? There are so many unexplainable things and unanswered questions. Actually we fall in love with people but its emotions that really connects us to them, more than just body and physical identity its the heart to heart communication, the sentiments that tell us that we have fallen in love. People say true love is the most powerful force on this earth. It blesses the person who puts their complete trust in it. So, was it a gameplan of destiny to unite the two lovers or was it a mere coincidence or mental ailment?

Nobody can answer it for you. Nobody can tell you what to believe. The answer lies in your heart. As the Manreet once told Neil that same story has different meanings to everyone. It all lies in your perception. What you chose to believe becomes your reality.

The End.

Thanks for the love and support.
