PART 3 - Teri Meri Yeh Love Story..
""Meeting you was fate...
Becoming your friend was a choice...
But falling in love with you...was beyond my control...<3"
I smiled at the memory of the day...It was indeed a day which I can never forget...! You know what...Throughout the night I was thinking about him...I couldn't sleep a bit..as that was out of my option list after the encounter I had with him...I kept recalling that moment...I mean he had that affect on me...This feeling is so good...so pure...!! And so perfect to be true..!!
But what I still don't know is why this man behaves in such an arrogant and rude way...such a stubborn kid he is...But whatever it is he is mine...!
I again turned my diary's page to walk down the memory lane of next morning when I was for the first time enjoying the season I hated the most...I hadn't wore my winter wardrobe except for simple woolen sweater and a stole...Habits never leave you so easily...hehehe...And That day I actually realized..That this season is not that bad...When you have your loved ones close to you...
Flashback
I woke up with a jerk...It was quite early in morning...I don't know when I dozed off last night ...because all I was doing was thinking about him...Ahh..Riddhima...Such a nut case you are... I kicked the blanket off my bed not being in one of my best mood...but as I did I regretted...Such a chilly weather...On second thoughts...why I am here...the person at whom I am bowled is least interested...and I am here sleeping and doing nothing...So Soon I got freshened up and wore my track suit With some inner woolens for safety...at least it's a better option.
Early Morning was silent affairs...the people living here were still sleeping...Yeah yeah...not everyone like me had sleepless nights...It's not that I don't like sleeping till late...but the truth is...if I continue to sleep...I will not be able to see my Mr. Oh-so-not-Supercool first in the morning... This man will turn me into an insane...Gosh...
I closed my room's door and starting walking in the long corridor. While walking I was busy in watching the paintings on the wall...I must say who so ever has selected them...has very deep thinking...I was busy in doing when I reached the end of corridor from nowhere I bumped into someone.
Gosh..Ridzy...can't you see in front while walking...I closed my eyes in fear and clutched the person tightly. But soon I realized whose touch it was...OMG...It was him...again him...Though I didn't say that I don't like being in his arms..Ahem...But I didn't want to show to what extent I can act like such a stupid at times...I opened my left eye to see his face.
I sue...That moment forgetting how much I am head over heels in love with him...I seriously wanted to either kill him or do something to erase that smirk from his face...Why on earth he was giving me such an amused and not to forget infectious smile...Now you tell...how can I act ignorant when he was giving me one of his best smile added with such a hot smirk...
Suddenly I felt his fingers snapping in front of me...Sh*t...I was staring at him...oh God...What he will be thinking of me...In this situation I can think of only one song..."Dance pe Chance maar le..." ... Grow up Riddhima...
"Riddhima...Are you fine..." He asked straightening me...but how to forget adding it with a mischievous smile...
"Yeah ...I am fine...Wo..I am sorry...Maine dekha nahi ki aap saamne se aa rahe hai..." I said with utmost difficulty as my cheeks were burning under his gaze...Why he has to carry such an intense look every time...!!
"Well..That's okay...But tell me something...Aap mujhse galti se hee takrati hai yaa..koi aur baat hai..."
I looked at him instantly...What...Okay I accept that I did not regret as far as he catches me whenever I fall...But...no how can he say that I did that deliberately...It's just by chance...Huh...Idiot...So I retort back..
"No...aisa kuch nahi hai okay...Apne aap ko aap itni importance mat dijiye...It's all that I was busy in watching these paintings...And bumping into you was an accident..."
"Are you sure...that it was not intentionally...?" As he said that he started moving towards me where as I moved back taking small steps.
I can hear my heart racing against my skin as if it will jump out any moment...Oh god..Why he affects me ...With his each step I took a step back...Well It's not that I don't want him close to me...But I don't want that his proximity intoxicates me...and I end up doing and saying something for which he will tease me for the rest of my life time...Ohh it's sounds great...We both ...together..Lifetime...Shut up Riddhima... Control your wild fantasies and handle this Mr. Oh-so-not-Supercool first...!! I ordered my wandering mind...!
I controlled my heaving breaths and uttered much audible to him..."yeah...It was never my intention..." I tear my gaze away...as looking into his eyes will end up landing me into my Mr. Oh-so-not-Supercool dreamland...
I again heard him speak...but this time he was standing very close to me as my back hit the wall...
"So...What are your intentions then Miss Riddhima...As far as I know...The girl whose not in love...will never stare someone since the time she met him...or end up falling in his arms every time..."
As he completed my mouth flung opened...This man...What he is made up of...As I looked in his eyes...I saw nothing but a teasing look...I instantly pushed him back and said "Aisa kuch nahi hai...yeh aapki galatfemi hai...And for your kind information...neither I was staring at you...nor I liked to be in your arms...And love...and that to you...never..,."
"Well...Ahem...I never mentioned that I was talking about you..."
I smacked my head mentally while praying to god in mind "Oh GOD...Please save me from him..." When I was busy in my prayers I realized that he was standing close to me...close...very close... Probably he was standing just at my back when I heard him saying
"Waise..Miss Riddhima...ek baat aur...are you sure you are going for morning walk only...not for climbing any ice glacier..."
His words trailed off...and he left after saying that. I stood there all confused with his behavior. But all I wandered about that every morning...first thing I wanted to see...wanted to admire was him...indeed
But on a serious note... It was a day he didn't even acknowledge my presence...and here he was flirting with me ...really...flirting or teasing...What should I call that...Okay that was teasing...I realize...because next second I saw him with that witch Shanaya...,..And what he was doing is called flirting...
They both were standing close to each other in hall...And she was in her track suits...But her dresses were more of summers...I hate her... She was totally clinging onto him...hugging him...and what he was doing...flirting with her...and complementing her for her choice of dress...And not to forget mentioning that she wore such a classy clothes not like others who wore their half of the winter wardrobe in such a beautiful yet cold winter morning...and curse this season...rather enjoying it...
Do I hear him right...Is that what he wanted to say...And if it's for me...then how come he knew that I hate this season...Well if that's the case than I am no less...I will tell him...No...I will show him...that I can too enjoy this season...enjoy these cold mornings...
I stomped my foot and went back in my room...It was now late morning...I scattered my winter wardrobe all around my room to find one such suitable clothes for this morning walk when I heard a familiar voice...I turned around to see Muskaan standing there with big eyes. I sighed and say," What is it Muski...see don't disturb me right now...I am very busy..."
"Di...what's all this...yesterday it was a room...but in one mere night you turned it upside down..." She said while coming towards me.
"Muski..Shut up...it's all I am confused what to wear for this morning walk...You tell na..."
I asked her showing different woolens when I heard her almost shouting." You what..."
"You created this mess...as you aren't able to decide what to wear for a morning walk...are you serious Di...Or you are making a fool out of me..."
"Muskaan...I am serious...That Mr. Super...I mean Rahul's elder brother indirectly taunted me that I wore half of my woolens...and even didn't enjoy cold mornings...rather curse it...I wanted to show him...Pata nahi kya samajhta hai khud ko...If he thinks ki sirf wo aur Shanaya hee yeh weather enjoy kar sakte hai then he is totally wrong..."
Not getting any reply I looked at her...Oh no...What did I blurted out...did I just told her the reason...Probably yes...Countdown begins...3...2...1...Go...
As soon she completed her counting... She heard Muskaan shouting and laughing while saying..."Di...you are gone...totally gone..." She came to me and said "Ahem...So my Di wants to show Armaan Bhai...that she is not less than anyone..Or I should say Shanaya...But don't you think this is the truth..You really didn't like this season...and that you don't want to come here at first place.."
"It's nothing like that Muskaan...I "
She cuts me in between and said..."Come on..Di...I know you very well...You are jealous...Aren't you...And moreover...I wanted to ask you this thing since yesterday...Are you..I mean do you like Armaan Bhai...have you fallen for him"
My eyes popped out hearing her question..As I was about to answer Rahul came in and took Muskaan with him ignoring her protests..!! I thanked Rahul in my mind...And quietly wore a simple woolen top and track pants with track shoes with a stole...Okay I can't help it...
I sighed and thought why even I am comparing myself with that witch...And Why I will feel jealous of her...I know I am better than her...And I don't care...Okay...I am acting so weird..But it too had a reason...
When I was leaving the hall...again Shanaya came in my way...And you know what she said...
"Riddhima...that's what your name is...right...whatever...It sounds like so old...typical behanji's type...well suits your personality..."
My anger grew but still I said in a calm voice.."Don't you have any other work rather wasting my time...?"
She chuckled and said "Riddhima...tum toh naraz ho gayi...well maine dekha thodi der pehle how you were trying to come close to my Armaan ...Maine kaha than na..That stay away from him...He is all mine..."
"Well..I thought..That he took you only as his best friend..And nothing else..."
"Oh come one Riddhima...It's our relationship...and you are no one to us..jinko hum sach bataye...well mai toh yeh kehne aayi thi ki Armaan was not wrong about you..."
I gave her a confused look...to which she said.."Oh..god..ab yeh bhi samjhana padega tumhe...I know you are not that innocent soul...Well ...See...It is such a beautiful weather...But you...you are wearing half of your woolens probably you carried...Oh...Now I knew...you don't like this weather...right...Oh god Riddhima...Such a spoil spot you are...This season is for enjoying with you loved ones...Ahh..mai bhi kaisi hoon na...you don't have a loved one...!! Chalo..mai chalti hu wo kya hai na..Armaan is waiting for me... as we both have to go for a long walk... Bye Riddhima...Enjoy your woolens company..."
I so hate her...But now..Now what...I know I am sensitive to bear this season...But I am neither a bore...nor a sensitive doll...I will show them...only reason of hating this season is that I catch cold easily...And I hate this...Sit on your bed..And sneeze for the whole day...No way...Okay..One more reason is there...When I was a kid...of probably 12 years...We went for a holiday in shimla...That time...I loved this season like anything...
I almost wait for this season..To enjoy my cold ice-cream...with cold coffee & loads of chocolate...yumm..But...that was the last time I did so..!! We went there on our vacations...There we met with My Dad's old friends...And I made a new friend named Sid...Oh God...Such a shy kid he was...so I always made fun of him...Half of the time..He sat crying somewhere,...or complaining about me...Heheh Such a brat I was...
One day with help of Muskaan I planned a prank on him...and he complained to my Dad...and also he gave me a punishment...to sit quietly at home. I was so angry on him...as that day we all were going to climb mountains covered with snow...when they came back...He was teasing me like anything...In my anger I took a cold water bottle and poured it over him...
Next morning, I went on my room terrace..to enjoy the cold breeze...and the winters of Shimla...But as soon as I opened my hands to welcome the cool breeze...in a micro second I was drenched in cold water including some ice cubes as well...Sh*t...I was shouting like anything...When I noticed who did this...I came to know..That Idiotic Sid had emptied a whole cold water bucket on me from his terrace which was just above mine...
From that time I hate the s-square a lot...First S..Stands for that Stupid Sid...and second S stand for Season...I catch cold after that easily.. ...And my whole vacations were ruined...I was made to drink the most pathetic medicines...And that medicated kaadha' ...I even hate remembering its taste...Yuck...
From that time I never enjoyed my favorite season...as it always reminded me that time...I walked to my balcony...And saw a view which made me a little bit teary...Armaan was laughing and enjoying with Shanaya...Both were enjoying the cool breeze...and Rahul and Muskaan too accompanied them..Yeah one more thing.. I have decided to add one more S in my hate list... Shanaya'...I thought "Why..Riddhima...Why..That was just a stupid prank of Sid...Don't worry...winters have always you're your favorite one...You can do it...More over you have to show some people that you are no less..."
I just went to the terrace of farm house. I felt chill ran down my spine still I manage and walked over. I stood near railing...And saw the breath taking view which I have always missed in these years...I don't know what got into me...I took my stole and woolen sweat shirt and kept it aside.
I was enchanted with the cool breeze I was feeling after years...I closed my eyes and opened my arms...welcoming the cool winter morning...All I could think was if my Mr. Oh-so-not-Supercool was also with me...How it would have been to feel his warmth around me...His warm touch... His hot breaths on my skin...As if thinking about him gave me goose bumps...And I blushed imagining the Titanic scene...
As if my prayers were answered I felt him around me...I felt His presence...My heart beat rose as I felt his nearness... I was about to bring my hands down due to increasing cold but all of a sudden someone caught my hands in mid air...It was him...I know..It was him...I recognizes his touch...His mere touch creates havoc inside me...There is no need to even open my eyes and see him...I could feel him...
He slowly entwined our fingers and we opened our arms together to feel the winter cold morning...Though it was now no more a cold morning...As his warmth engulfed me...I leaned my back on his chest...as he too supported me...
We stood there for some time feeling each other's closeness...Though I didn't like Shanaya...But yeah she was right...Welcoming the cold winter morning with your loved ones near to you...It is the feeling for which I don't have the words to explain...I am glad of that Sid...I don't know if that incident didn't had happened...then probably..I would have missed this...
After few minutes he bring our entwined hands down and entangled them on my stomach causing me to move closer than before to him...That moment of my life...I realized...that each and everything have its own significance...And this cold winter morning signifies to be in the arms of your loved one...To feel each other warmth with cool breeze...
I never knew when he came more closer and huskily whispered in my ears "Ridzy...you should never hate these mornings...cold breeze...Because without them...how will you feel the warmth of being in love with your Mr. Oh-so-not-Supercool...meri Miss Basket Ball..."
Suddenly I felt loss of his warmth and touch around me. I opened my eyes and saw no one around me. I was confused for a minute...I was really dreaming,...or he was here...a minute ago...I can still feel his scent in air..But..He is nowhere...God Riddhima...you are too much...
I smacked my head at my wild fantasies...and went down...whole day I was in daze...neither I had ate anything properly...nor I had talked to anybody...I was in my dreams...All I could do was stare at him...but he is typically a Supercool...He always used his one-liners either to embarrass me or to tease me with his smirks and innocent face...
I wish..How he manages to change his expressions after every second...Indeed he is a King of Expressions...
I just hope...Destiny entwine our lives too...I never believed in Love at first sight...But after meeting him...I probably understood those sentences of that romantic novels...which told what it feels when you meet someone first time...Whose eyes speak volumes...Whose nearness create a sensational feeling inside you...Whose smile can turn your day more brighter...and whose one tear can make you cry as well...
