Chapter 2
AARZOO's POV
I sit under this tree, in shock. I have to admit, that I am quite shaken over what happened.
This Gabbar Chaudhry has the power to give me these jitters , that , honestly Allah Knows, no one has ever been able to give me.
So, there I was, nicely sitting gazing at the beautiful moon, when he started to go on, about his pessimistic viewpoint about everything in Life.
Allah knows, that this is exactly what I do not understand in few people, and Gabbar Chaudhry, as of now totally tops that list. Everybody has there share of struggles, but that does not make Life less beautiful, I wish these people understood this very apt point.
Dude, he is so weird and also mysterious.
And that makes him even more , attractive, I hear my subconscious say.
Shut up, don't you mislead me here, I instruct it.
It listened.Thank God.
So then, I somehow end up telling him, about the scar or the wound of my life, my father.
Ad Allah Knows, that This was Even way Weirder.
I do not, just do not go around talking about this, to strangers, ok to my defense, this Gabbar Chaudhry, was not a total stranger, he was my boss, and although it felt awkward to admit, since the realization had just dawned on me a day earlier, after my promotion, that he was a nice man, as in he had a nice heart.
But somewhere , you knew that he would understand, my subconscious said.
But whatever, he was still totally enigmatic, I thought.
And That attracts you, I hear my subconscious poke in again.
I ask it to shut up again, and then it listens to me, good going, allah knows,that I am awesome, for I have so much control over myself.
After a while ,of careless time pass, in this scary jungle, I finally am able to sleep, when I am distracted by this stupid noise, and so I get up and make my way to see, what exactly was up here, and I swear to Allah, I was kind of scared.
So I walk up to see, this man, killing it up on that innocent tree, for no reason, and I wonder as to why would anyone have so much anger.
And so I put my hand on his shoulder, with the true intention of calming him down, but then what happened next, took my breath away.
He pulled me by the hair, and pulled me so close, that Allah Knows, I almost felt as if he was going to kiss me, and for a moment, just for a second, I was totally hypnotized by his aura.
And I honestly felt, that I should be careful of what Dadi instructed me earlier, but I could not move an inch, and so I waited for him to say something, and then he spoke in that husky voice, giving me jitters -
"Don't you understand, you have to stay away from me...Stay Away"
And then he just walks into nowhere, leaving me shocked.
All of a sudden, everything just stood still, as the various moments from earlier , came back to my mind, the way he took my hand, saving me from those goons, our closeness near the tree,our silent gestures to each other, which to my surprise we both understood.
Ok, so was there a slight possibility that, he was getting affected by all of this?
Ofcourse yes,or else why would he ask me to stay away.
Weird Gabbar Chaudhry.Weird Weird Weird Gabbar Chaudhry.
Allah Knows, as if I am dying to be around him.he can go to hell, for all I care.
Are you sure?, there goes my subconscious again.
I ask it to shut up.And this time, it does not listen, and bombards my logical mind with so many thoughts.
He is so attractive and enigmatic, you know you are attracted to him.
You shivered, when he came close to you.
You thought, he was going to kiss you.
You know, you wanted him too.
Admit it.as crazy as it sounds, you wanted to feel those lips.
You wanted to stroke his hair, his face, and ask him to calm down.
You wanted to take care of his wound.
Ughhh.Shut up, shut up, or else Allah knows what will I do, I instruct to my stupid inner voice.I had no idea from where were all these thoughts coming,and I cursed gabbar Chaudhry for it like Seriously, who tells someone to stay away, by pulling them so close, like as close as humanly posiible. Is that the way to ask someone to back off?of course not!! But well he was not normal like everyone else, ofcourse.
You do know, in that one moment, something changed.
Ughhh just stop it, I felt myself yell at my innervoice, and cursed this man, for doing what he had just done.
Seriously, do you really think , you have complains?
I get up, and instruct my Inner Aarzoo, to go back under covers, and it was right when I recalled that he had cut his hand.
I pick up my dupatta and walk in search.
Allah knows why, but I wanted to see him.
I finally spot him, standing against a tree, looking into no where.
I instruct myself to just do what I came to do, silently, because anyway my logical mind went for a toss, when I spotted him, he looked so vulnerable, yet afar.
I walked upto him, and took his hand.He looked at me in pure surprise, and then he stared at me, giving me jitters once more, and then he snatches his hand away.
I snatch it back.
He takes it away again.
I snatch it back again.
He takes it away again.
Ughhh , you Gabbar.
What could I do?
I glare at him, making my eyes, as wide as humanly possible.
Yippe, it worked.
I tear a part of my duppata, which ofcourse I would not, if it were anybody else here.
I clean his wound gently, and then I start to tie my dupatta around his hand.
All this while, I was totally silent, because I could feel his gaze on me, and it was burning me in a way that I wished for the ground to open beneath my feet and that I sink in.I could feel him look all over my face, but I glued to my point and did not look at him, because again his hypnotic gaze would fuel up my subconscious.
I finished my job, in silence.And then I take a step back, and walk away without looking at him, as I hear him say from behind.
"Thank you..."
I don't turn, I walk ahead, back to where I had been lying down.
I lie down, and fight for sleep to come, as my logical minds begin to function again, as it tell my subconscious,
That Allah knows, that I truly do feel only gratitude, for this man, for he has given me a chance to prove myself.That he has recognized my talent, and I really do owe him that gratitude.I could see that passion to excel in his eyes, and I wanted to prove myself to him , with that same passion, I wanted to prove to him, that I really was passionate about my dreams.
That's it. Passion.
That was all that was common in between us, and that was all it could ever be.We were both extremely different individuals, with the tendency to react and behave in life with extreme emotion, in everything that we did.i.e - Passion.
I sigh of relief as sleep finally came to me, and I smile to myself.
Allah knows, I would be even crazier, if I did not have my logical mind for help,a scenario like that was possible possible, was what I had serious doubts about
Because Allah Knows, I was One weird and Crazy Homo Sapien, probably already as crazy as humanly-logically-possible, to be not -termed-insane.
But Allah knows, that indeed was the Passion of my life.
...
Tada!! Let me know what you guys think!!
So, I had basically started this as a OS on sahirs Pov, but i guess i will make it into an SS, my own thoughts and take on their inner subconscious, as the story moves on😊 Also I am renaming it to Passion Diaries,instead of Passions..😊
What do you guys think?should I continue or just stop here?
Let me know!!
Thanks
