like Land and Sea - KriYaansh Three Shot - Page 6

I was back from my college it was around 7 o Clock after all the extra classes for the fresher students. My mom was on couch placed in lobby cutting vegetables for the dinner. It was already guessed by my sharp brain that she would ask something. Tip-toeing I walked by the side when she asked. "Kria, why are you so late and who dropped you here?" and there began her CID investigation. "Mom extra classes and what do you mean by who dropped me here? I came on auto."

She was I guess a bit calm then, "Okay beta I was just asking." I gave a sigh of relief and took few more steps towards my room. "Kria... one moment" Damn not again! She was again going to ask something relating Rey, I mean Reyaansh so I kept my fingers crossed. "Beta that guy who came at night to our place few days back." and I guessed it right. "Reyaansh"

"Hmm Reyaansh, what his father does I mean his profession?"

"Businessman, owner of Singhania construction" Her expression was quite serious, "Kria go to your room." I climbed the stairs silently when she mumbled "Rich spoilt brat"

I so thanked Reyaansh Singhania in my mind. Stupid... moron for this situation I'm going through because of him my mom is double alert about me asking questions in every two hours about him. I was burning inside due to frustration and it had to be removed or else I would die with it. Messing up the things on my table and punching the pillow didn't work. Something more was to be done to get rid of it.

I jumped on the bed taking out my cell from bag and removed him from blocked list. That moron deserves a bash. I'm here handling my super suspicious mom and there he would be calmly enjoying at his place. Never huh... I dialed his number and was pretty sure he would pick it up in few rings but he picked it in first ring itself duh what a workless parasite. "Is that a way to treat the guest at your place?" he said in his saccharine voice. He's not moron basically he is more than that. An actual moron too would feel defamed on comparison with Rey huh... I mean Reyaansh.

"Just shut up... you dunce minded dump-head, How dare you step at my door that too at late night. Do have any consciousness of the stupidity you did... oh sorry brain consciousness you had lost two years ago Mr. Rarely brain user Singhania." I brusquely left out all my anger through phone. He was quietly taking in all the bashes and abuses but what had happened to the old Reyaansh who never heard even a word against himself. How did it matter? I had this exemplary moment to say anything to him so better was to use it. "Leave me alone... I don't want you in my life get this without any doubt" saying this I cut the call.

Two and half years back

I was in school when we had met for the first time, a silly guy who turned out to be my best friend. His feet were there behind mine on every move I made without asking why? He did the job of a referee when I had a fight with anyone and fought as my player when I hurt because of someone. I was unaware when he began falling for me but soon began to realize it. Session ended before he could say anything and we were shifted in different batches. I was in batch 3 and he was in batch 2.

He made new friends and I too had a few new friends, this didn't work out for long. My math's teacher was too strict regarding our presence in class. What a bad luck to have him and I still complain to god for the arrival of that manhoos day when I was late for the class. He was already upset with the student's performance and my late entry awarded me a punishment from him. I was shifted from by batch to batch 2 away from my new friends.

We were again together in the same batch. Till then I was sure he has strong feelings towards me but his friends were people with whom I couldn't adjust. But this couldn't terminate my growing emotions and I too fell for him. Somewhere we both knew what's going in other's heart without any confession.

The increasing fieriness in our friendship slowing known by everyone and those who didn't knew also came to know by our closeness spread by rumors. Everyone was talking about us and which I didn't like. It was so embarrassing to face to weird expressions of other students including our physics teacher. I ignored them as I didn't want to lose Reyaansh. His nature was impulsive and pre-dominant but things needed to sort out. I myself went forward to talk to him in atrium where he was sitting with his gang.

"Rey, I wana talk" I said. Throat clearing began to tease from his gang, "Yup say"

"Alone"

He got from the stairs and came to the center of the atrium. "Wow... Shahrukh and Kajol need privacy" one of them said from behind. I so wanted to kick him there and then but talking to Reyaansh was more important. "Rey, everyone is talking about us" I said.

"So?" he said casually.

"So... so I do not like it at all. They stare at us as if we are from another planet and talk all rubbish even our physics teacher has a doubt. I don't know how this thing reached everyone including your gang?" I was too serious relating this topic but he casually looked back. "I told them and they must have told everyone. Why are you being so hyper? I love you and I know you love me then this pretending."

"Are you okay? You told everyone?" I couldn't believe that he acted so normal about this. "And when I said I love you? It's just your misconception Reyaansh."

I accept I hided my true feelings but what else could I do. That moment I felt after being best friends for three years we still went aware of true sides of each other. For the first time I saw the extent of his temper. In his anger he broke the hand of one of his friends who were hooting a lot from behind. It turned out to be a big mess which ended when he kissed me in-front of everyone and I slapped him.

After this incidence I was sure we won't be perfect together like Land and Sea. I don't blame him alone, his problem was of his possessiveness, impulsiveness and pre-dominance and mine was I couldn't handle his dominance and this behavior. This also included an abrupt and unaccountable change in my mood. We liked each-other but that wasn't enough we won't ever be able to live with each-other. I began hating him for what he did. His deed was reported to his family and was sent to Pilani, Rajasthan by his father. My name was kept confidential in-front of his family and this scene was confidential too in-front of my family. He was blocked everywhere by me.

She had called though yawping "stay away from me" but that was a later thing to think upon. The main thing was she called and this thought made my heart sink in happiness. I had seventh heaven beneath me with a single call. It was a silly thing to do as none normal human would be jumping in joy hearing the abuses. Another silly thing I did was to record her voice as she won't be calm so soon so till then her voice would help me to miss her less. The rest of the night I plugged in the earphones repeating the recording making the replay button numb till morning.

There was something crazy about this girl since the time I know her. She was like every other girl of school but yet not like everyone, beauty with brains. The only student who could beat me in solving trigonometry and only girl whose smile was desired by guy. Luckily she was best friend but I couldn't repudiate that somewhere I had adoration for her which was more than friendship. She loved chocolates especially melted ones. Munching them in classes then slurping the empty wrapper thrice before she was sure that there's not even a minute thing left spreading it around her face and finally licking her hands and lips for leftover chocolate traces. Every day she would be expecting at least one chocolate from me and then grumbling over the pimples after having sweet.

Till next week my brain didn't work then an important thing attacked my brain. She had called me that mean she had removed me from her block list and it was possible that she might not register my name in block numbers again. How idiotic of me to not think about this before. I called upon her number hoping for good. Holy cow! The bell was ringing now please someone butter her to pick. "Hello... Hello Kria." I said.

"Which language do you understand Reyaansh?" She snarled gulping something down. "What do you think? This world revolves around you? Everything that happens should be according to your wish?" She was hurt, lesions of past weren't healed yet.

"Sorry... really I'm sorry for that. I couldn't even apologize before for the humiliation you went through." I explained for long her how much felonious I felt for that incident surprisingly she was silently listening. Firstly I thought she would have kept the phone on mute but she was actually listening. Her being quite was surprise as she was a typical Baatcutter. "Let's take a chance on happiness?" I said. "Let's be friends again please?" and waited for her to reply. "Kria... Uh there?"

"Umm, I don't know. I'll think about it" she said.

Maybe she needs some more time so I diverted the topic. "So what are you doing?"

"Nothing... umm just having chocolates." I chuckled listening to that till date she's chocolate lover huh chocolates can be her full course meal. "Why are you laughing?" she asked.

"Nothing by the way do you remember the first guy who gave you chocolates?"

"First guy who gave me chocolates... Umm wait a minute." What's so much to think about it girl? It isn't too old to remember, "Umm Oh yeaaahhh wo to tum hi the." She said chirpily.

She was better since that day at the minimum she was talking to me. We talked over social sites slowly she removed from every place where I was blocked. The mall conversations turned into long ones. I was happy to have her back. She was a medical student now and I was in engineering college. It was almost 8 o clock when she called, "Hello Doctor aunty bone specialist? What's up?"

"I'm working on a 10 storied hospital project Mr. Rarely brain using Engineer Singhania and why the hell you call me bone specialist?" she verbalized.

"Oh so can I get a job ward-boy in your hospital? Your imaginary hospital and have you ever seen yourself? More than half of your bones are hanging out so I thought looking at your own condition maybe you dropped the idea of being a surgeon and would specialize bones after MBBS that Ortho something"

She laughed, "Orthopedist, a bone specialist is called an orthopedist and Shut up. I'll be a surgeon after few years with my own hospital and I won't even get the job of cleaner in my hospital."

"Oh yeah... pehle complete your MBBS then surgeon bano uske baad dream of owning a hospital huh" I taunted.

"Don't be worried about me think about your future"

"I was the topper of Pilani, Rajasthan."

"But I made you lose in trigonometry every time." And it continued till late.

I stirred in my sleep lying on lounger. What the... I again slept in balcony again while talking. This habit of sleeping on lounger everyday in balcony will either give me cold with flu or a severe backache. I went to washroom to freshen up for college. "Rey baba breakfast" Kaka called me when I was came down running then had quick bites of sandwich with gulping down juice and finally accelerated my car till college.

It was Saturday so my glasses went off early today. I dialed her number, "Hi Kria"

"What is it?" she seemed quite irritated. I tried to be calm but her mood swings are quite frustrating, "What happened that you calling now?" Her pitch still didn't come down. Any psychologist would also fail to understand how she is feeling at current as in every 5 minutes there's a change but what would have happened today that she is screwed so much. "Rey, I'm screwed with a practical please we'll talk some other time." She wasn't calm. "Hey I just want to help"

"You aren't a medical student Rey and I'm not 24x7 free like you, available every minute. So please don't call back till the time I don't ask you to do so." She was in a mood to kill and if I would have been I front of her she would have banged my head on the wall.

I knew she had a problem with her mood. She would be happy a minute before and suddenly her fomenting avatar would be visible. It was a highly difficult task to guess her mood through her voice. She was an honest, loyal and a loveable girl but at times I fail to understand her. In past days Kanya was a great friend of us but when I was thrown out school Kanya and I chose to be in touch for quite long without anyone's knowledge. This would have continued for longer but due to a silly mistake Kria got to know about us being in touch. She was too upset with Kanya and we both saw the limit of temper then.

It was better to wait for her call. I didn't call her for several days waiting for to call but she didn't show up. Quietly obeying her last sentence of our last conversation I was almost sure she won't call back but we lose nothing whole keeping a small hope wasn't I. My college was off next day so I watched some thriller series whole night and early morning felt sleepy. Keeping aside my laptop I muffled inside my blanket for a cozy sleep. The whole day went sleeping.

In evening I had a shower and checked my cell. It had beeped million times but didn't bother my deaf ears in sleep. Few missed calls and a number of messages were there, was there any festival today? I opened the message box which had birthday wishes. Oh shit! I forgot my birthday, flipping down there were messages from my friends, my cousins, Dad, Kanya. I smiled on every message with so much of love and my cell rang. What the! I was scared by the sudden ringing but calmed myself. It was Kria who called.

"Happy birthday Rey" She said chirpily. "Kriaaa... is it you?"

"Haan obviously it's me stupid and a very badaaa wala happy birthday to you. Sorry I'm late actually I thought calling you in morning but my college wasn't off moreover I had project to be presented in-front of medical authorities in student seminar. Just now I came home so thought of calling you. Anyways what gift you want from me?" she was behaving so normal as if nothing had happened. This was the problem I was never able to know how is her mood.

"You" I let out. "What??"

"I mean I want to me you that would be enough for my birthday."

"Ok"

I think my ears were listening "Ok" instead of "No" maybe an ear specialist was required at my place. "Are you sure you said Ok? You really want to meet?" and she slowly let out a "hmm"

"Alright then I'll see you in 10 minutes at the abandoned lane near your house." I took my car keys and drove till that road, parking the car I came out. The lane was behind her house at walking distance. No one was around neither was anyone found around that place. Now even the weather had turned rainy. I leaned on the car waiting for her. Few droplets fell on my face and it was raining but I still didn't move from my place. The place became dark due to the dark clouds with windy breeze.

A weird eagerness was there in me when I saw her coming. She was dressed in heavy attire but why? But then was reminded that she had a project presentation with medical authorities in her college so she had to look good for that. With slow steps she came drenching in rain.

"Here's your gift" She smiled.

She had turned excessively beautiful more than I could imagine, more than her photographs laid in my cupboard and phone. That day in dark her face wasn't perfectly visible but my wait was paid off adeptly. I moved my hands forward to touch her cheek but was scared at the same moment. What if she doesn't like it? I paused at a distance of few inches. She stepped forward taking my hands and placing upon her cheeks. Observing her eyes I went ahead to reduce the distance planting a peck over her forehead.

The lowered lashes of her eyes drove me more lunatic. I pulled her gently on the stoned wall of the lane sensing her face with my lips. We both were completely drenched till them. Raindrops fell on her face moving through her slightly tied up hair to her face. I kissed nose removing the braids of her hair setting them free. Keeping the yearning in control wasn't in my hands. I grabbed her waist and went down kissing till her nape. She ran her hands over my hair ruffling them. Entwining her fingers with mine I kissed her hands. Moving upwards I kissed little jhumki on her ears then nuzzled on her nape.

In the dim street light I nibbled over her throat. Her hands gripped my shirt on my back pulling closer. There wasn't even a minute distance between our bodies. I continued kissing her nape but suddenly she pulled me out of the crook of her neck. Her hand went on my hair and held them tight extricating the water droplets from them. She clasped her soft lips on mine taking my lower lip in her mouth kissing me further. It was a blow for me. I stood there like a numb frozen human unable to respond neither could react to the moment.

She pulled back after sometime and I could just gape at her about what she did just now. Her face was flushed with slight blush over it. I gently caressed her right cheek with my palm. She moved her head taking in the delectation. Keeping aside other thoughts I took her lips in mine crushing her petite figure between the wall and my torso.
