COLD HEART
CONFESSIONS
DREAM COMES TRUE
TS(TWO SHORTS)-JHEEL SI ANKHEIN
MEETING MY LOVE
Jodha was sipping coffee standing at her balcony in the bright, beautiful morning...The chirping of d birds were like melody to her ears d morning sun rays were reflecting on her face and the cool breeze was giving a soothing and tantalizing effect to her, blowing her few tresses on her forehead enhancing her beauty...
Her mood was sober and calm just like the ambiance of the surroundings. She was a bubbly, vivacious girl who's mantra was to live life to the fullest as if there was no tomorrow...
The sudden noise of the tempo ace disturbed the peaceful atmosphere around Jodha. She peeped from her balcony down to see what the hulla boo was and could see few men unloading things from a tempo.
A BMW car behind the tempo stopped with the door opening and a fair looking handsome man stepped out of the car. He came forward guiding the men towards his house.
The inquisitiveness of Jo activated her brain cells compelling her to bend a little more to get a clear picture of this handsome persona.
To her bad luck, her view was blocked by the men while unloading things and she cursed them for disturbing her view.
From past few mins she was glued to the same position, hurting her legs and this unsuccessful venture of her's compelled her activated brain cells to relax and temporarily calmed her neurons. She gave up thinking of another attempt of her incomplete adventure of seeing him and decide to get ready for office.
...
At The Bus Stop :
Jo was standing at the bus stop, waiting for her usual bus. Being a disciplined person, she always valued time and reached office before or on time. She was known for her punctuality and respected too.
But today it was different as the bus was nowhere to be seen and she feared she would reach late for the first time in her life. This thought made her chagrin.
In the midst of heavy traffic a black BMW car was stuck and a handsome man in a black suit sitting on the driver seat was cursing the heavy traffic.
Though the cool air of the AC would any other time cool his nerves but at this particular time it had no soothing and cooling effect on this enterprising man who was trying to have a glance through d closed window glass panes as to what had made the traffic collect.
This is when Jalal got a glimpse of a girl in a cream colored chudidhar, hair tied in a bun, standing at a nearby bus stop.
He found her to be a familiar face but couldn't exactly count on the identity of this girl.
But luck was on his side and traffic resumed shortly after. His car moved on, reaching close to the bus stop.
Now he could get a clear picture of the girl. Immediately his brain gave him the response that she was Jodha.
Not wanting to waste a single minute, he headed towards the bus stop, making a halt at just the right spot, in front of the intended person.
A black BMW car halting at d bus stop made everyone's heads swing with surprise to guess who the owner could be and who was the lucky champ having to ride in this magnificent car.
Oblivious to the happenings around her, Jodha was lost in her own world of thoughts. The horn of the car made her drift back into the real world and to her surprise she saw that the BMW was waiting for her to respond.
She couldn't fathom what was happening at first. It took time for her to register the happenings.
Meanwhile Jalal, who was observant of the whole scenario had a slight smirk on his lips seeing Jo in a perplexed state of mind.
He just rolled down the window glass and offered to drop her at her destination. Jodha's heart skipped a beat, it wasn't able to believe that her past had come and stood in front of her suddenly!
Butterflies started fluttering in her stomach and she felt sudden adrenaline rush giving tingling feelings all over her.
Jalal's voice brought her back to reality. She was hesitant to accept his offer at first, and denied him politely saying that she was on her way to office and he would get late if he dropped her.
But Jalal being Jalal was in no mood to bear with a negative response and so he tried another, and probably a trick Jo couldn't turn around!
He asked her again, but this time in a husky voice and with a slight smirk dancing on his lips. The charms which could kill, did bring about that magic effect on Jodha.
Her heart was dancing in joy to get such a tempting offer from a handsome and magnanimous persona. His charms were working wonders on her...his husky voice made her go weak in her knees. And then to travel with this dashing personality who was her crush once upon a time was something like a dream come true for her...
Jo immediately skipped in and took her seat beside him.
It had been ages since she was so up close and personal to him. She was awed with his dashing and dynamically oozing personality.
The long silky auburn hair with chiseled sharp facial features...the attractive light brown eyes in which she would love to drown herself...his manicured long fingers...even after so many years he hadn't changed one bit. In fact his charms had only increased, it seemed to her.
Jo suddenly realized what she had been doing...she was actually drooling over her crush! She gave a mental slap to herself for losing control over hers senses again.
All the while Jalal had been observing her drooling session over him through the corner of his eyes and was having a proud smirk on his lips as he knew his charm worked like a magical spell on it's victims and even she wasn't away from it!
The entire journey from the bus stop till Jo's office was a silent business. Both were engrossed in each other's thoughts, but neither had the courage to speak up.
Finally the car came to a halt at the intended destination. At this point, Jodha wanted time to cease. Alas! Time and destiny is something humans can't control.
Jodha finally stepped out of the car and thanked him formally. She was about to leave when Jalal's voice stopped her and made her turn towards him...
Jalal asked her a bit hesitantly if she could meet him at the park in the evening.
There you go! Jo's heart was again dancing with joy...for a second she was confused whether she was day dreaming or in reality he had asked her for a date...
Jalal was bemused with her expressions. Realizing that she was lost somewhere, he snapped his fingers to bring her back from her lala land. Jodha was all embarrassed and cursed herself for day dreaming again.
This wonderful opportunity was something she had never ever dreamt of in her life and so she readily accepted to go with him. He told her to meet him at d park. As he went off, he left a dreaming Jo behind!
Jo was on cloud nine as her dreams were finally going to come true. She felt the same past feelings all over her.
Jalal had been Jodha's crush since her college days. Jalal and Jodha studied in the same college and were also classmates.
Both of them had been extremely popular then, but in their own unique ways.
Jodha was popular as a geek because of her compendious knowledge of everything specifically the General Knowledge part and at the same time she had always been a topper and to compete with her in studies and extra curricular activities was a herculean task for all.
Whereas Jalal was a happy go lucky kinda guy who did concentrate on studies but enjoyment was the top priority for him. Moti was his best friend since childhood, and she too had a liking for him or more to say had a crush on him. Though he was pretty much aware of it and he did take advantage of this weakness of hers at times.
Jodha and Jalal were on good terms, the reason being Jalal's last minute hunting for d notes. Jodha was his only oxygen support who could lend him notes. Though they weren't close friends like Jalal and Moti or Jodha and Ruqaiya.
Yeah you people heard it right! Jodha and Ruqaiya were best friends and both shared each and everything. Both were equal partners in crime when it came to naughtiness as well as happiness and pain too.
Jodha too had developed some kind of feelings for Jalal which he wasn't aware of. But Ruqaiya knew this and many a times she had given her the option of either confessing it to him or just forget about him and to move on. But Jodha always remained in a dilemma...
College life had just passed by like wind and both Jodha and Jalal had settled in their academic lives.
Jodha is drifted back from her past memories which were playing back like a black and white movie in front of her eyes. Realization hit her when she saw the clock on the side table showing 5.30 pm that she had to meet Jalal at the park as he had desired to meet her and talk to her.
What could it be? Her brain cells were back again on activation mode. This thought made her nervous and anxious.
She shrugged off the feeling and decided to get going.
Jalal had been waiting for Jo at the park near her office at d said timing. Jodha who had happened to reach in time was searching for him. Soon, her eyes spotted the rightful person dressed in cream colored crisp shirt and black trousers. And his gelled hair made him look all the more drool worthy.
Jalal was gazing at the petite figure approaching him. She had kept her long, black, silky tresses open which gave a clear view of the length which were kissing her waist. Those doe shaped, large, expressive eyes of hers...which had a sea of emotions flowing in it...even in the simple dress she looked like a damsel stepped down from heaven. Jalal was literally lost in her heavenly beauty while mentally checking her from tip to toe.
As Jodha headed towards him, she could sense his intense gazes on her and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. The thought that he too might be having some feelings for her made her heart dance with joy, but then it came to her what if he just liked her as a friend? Her heart had a mini attack at that, but shrugging off all the ifs and buts she headed towards him. Her eyes couldn't yet believe that she was finally meeting him and will be talking to him after ages.
Jalal had to come back from his intense drooling session of her's seeing right her in front of him.
Politely, and with a husky voice he asked her to sit comfortably.
For a moment silence filled the atmosphere. Both were mute spectators of each other, their hearts were pacing at 180 miles/min speed, with the fear of crashing.
Finally, Jalal thought to break the ice.
"Hey Jo! How have you been doing?"
" I'm fine Jalal..." Jo answered with nervousness evident in her tone.
Jalal hesitantly continued, "I was trying to contact you by asking a few mutual friends but they too didn't have your contact..."
Jodha was taken aback with this statement of Jalal.
Was he really trying to find me? Her brain cells got the much needed fuel to accelerate their work. If so, why would he like to contact me ?
She had a volcano of questions dancing in her mind and Jalal saw her lost in thoughts and was confused with her expressions. He snapped his fingers to get her back to reality.
The snapping of fingers brought Jodha back from her thoughts and she replied with a broad smile, " That's coz I shifted to Bangalore and lost the old contacts from my mobile as most of them were saved in phone memory so couldn't remain in contact with anyone except for Ruqaiya..."
"So what was it you wanted to talk about?" Jo asked, looking him straight into the eye.
"I just wanted to talk about us... Jalal answered, in between trying to observe her reactions.
"About us? What we have to talk about us Jalal? Jo asked with dubiety.
Before Jalal could reply to Jo's question, his phone started beeping. He cursed it mentally for spoiling the much awaited moment... and turned to have a look at it.
"Oh No!! Mom...you na! Words escaped his mouth as he stuffed the device back into his pocket.
Meanwhile, Jodha who watching Jalal silently spoke up, " What happened Jalal? Everything fine? She had been eager to know Jalal's response to her question and was quite irritated by the sudden turn of events.
Though she tried hard to not her resentment on her face, Jalal was sharp enough to grasp the truth.
Before leaving, he turned to her and said, " Everything's fine Jo. Just that Mum hates it when I overlook her words, and this time, it seems, she's pretty angry with me. We'll talk later...Bye!
She just smiled back at him.
All the events of this miraculous day played in her mind. From the sudden meeting with Jalal, his offer of a date, his desire to talk about the two of them, and now his sudden departure! Everything kept making rounds in her already confused mind.
She couldn't wait to know what was it that he wanted to talk about them. She realized she hadn't been this eager to know anything in her life before.
...
Jodha's House :
Jo was still lost in his thoughts when the doorbell rang. That wasn't something unusual, and without paying much attention she went and opened the door.
Even before the door could entirely be opened, a little girl of almost 10 years of age ran in, shocking Jodha by her sudden dash.
"Hey Riya! What's this darling? What's the hurry? You had almost made my heart jump out!!
Riya was the daughter of the Sharmas, who lived just next door to Jodha. It wasn't unusual for her to be at Jodha's house, in fact, half-the-day she would spend here only!
Not paying much attention to Jodha's words, Riya had by now made herself comfortable on a couch. Jodha smiled at the girl's antics... She so adored this lil devil!
Jo took her seat beside her. " So what are you up to today Ma'am? She asked in a imitated respectful tone, making the kid laugh.
"Nothing much Jo di! Just that I have got something for you... and she winked at the confused-looking Jo.
"Oh really, you? And have got something for me? Can I know what it is kiddo? Jo was sure this was another prank from Riya's kitty.
"Leave it ... first tell me, have you seen our new neighbor? She quickly changed the topic.
"Nope. And I'm not interested in whoever that is. You give me my surprise na! She made a pouty face showing her fake anger.
"Oho! Chill di! That whoever has given me something to be handed over to you. And I was offered quite a lot of goodies for this postal service, which seemed a good deal to me! The lil girl seemed quite elated by the deal she made today.
Meanwhile, all this made on sense to Jodha.
"Riya... don't you know you shouldn't accept things from strangers? I don't want to hear such a thing again... got it?
But Riya had by now already made her way towards the door. Looking back from her place, she almost shouted, " The gift's there on the couch, and bye Jo di, I have a lot of work, as you know!! And she ran off before Jo could even say a word.
Sure enough, on the couch where Riya had been sitting, now lay an envelope. It seemed more an official letter than any sort of gift.
She opened it, and there peeped in from it a light pink folded piece of paper. It most probably was a letter.
With her heart-beats racing with anxiety, she finally began reading.
...
Dear Jo,
I am sorry for what happened in the park today. I did want to say a lot to you...but wasn't able to decide from where to start.
I guess writing is easier than speaking... I have written this from all my heart... hope it conveys what it set out to.
Actually I had always had a liking for you...though we were not close friends and we just had a cordial friendship, merely a give and take one for your notes... BUT
But I always used to wait to meet you...I always would wait for those few moments you spent in helping me out. Believe me or not, those simply studying notes have been extremely special moments to me that I have cherished throughout my college life, and still do so.
I always thought of confessing the truth to you but I wasn't sure of my own feelings, that whether it was love, liking, or just an infatuation?
I even thought at times that you might reject me if I tried to tell you, since you were a studious girl...and well, you know who and what I was!
It was only after college, in the reunion that I realized that I had started to love you and it wasn't just any infatuation or liking or friendship but much more than that...and so when I met you today at the bus stop I just had those long lost feelings all over me and made up my mind to confess my feelings to you...to tell you how much I loved you!
I still love you the same way, maybe even more now, and will continue to do so my entire life.
I love you Jodha... I am truly, deeply, and madly in love with you! <3
Forever Yours,
Jalal.
...
After going through the note at least hundred times, Jo finally shut it, clutching it tightly in her hands. As she closed her eyes and leaned her back on the sofa...the entire day...precisely Jalal's face smiling at her, smirking at her, staring at her... all of it played in her mind.
So my new neighbor is Jalal.
Can a day be better than this one? Thought the young lady, she prepared herself to write a heart-felt reply to this heart-warming letter she had just received from the love of her life.

Actually I had always had a liking for you...though we were not close friends and we just had a cordial friendship, merely a give and take one for your notes... BUT
But I always used to wait to meet you...I always would wait for those few moments you spent in helping me out. Believe me or not, those simply studying notes have been extremely special moments to me that I have cherished throughout my college life, and still do so.
I always thought of confessing the truth to you but I wasn't sure of my own feelings, that whether it was love, liking, or just an infatuation?
I even thought at times that you might reject me if I tried to tell you, since you were a studious girl...and well, you know who and what I was!
It was only after college, in the reunion that I realized that I had started to love you and it wasn't just any infatuation or liking or friendship but much more than that...and so when I met you today at the bus stop I just had those long lost feelings all over me and made up my mind to confess my feelings to you...to tell you how much I loved you!
I still love you the same way, maybe even more now, and will continue to do so my entire life.
I love you Jodha... I am truly, deeply, and madly in love with you! <3
Forever Yours,
Jalal.

After going through the note at least hundred times, Jo finally shut it, clutching it tightly in her hands. As she closed her eyes and leaned her back on the sofa...the entire day...precisely Jalal's face smiling at her, smirking at her, staring at her... all of it played in her mind.
So my new neighbor is Jalal.
Can a day be better than this one? Thought the young lady, she prepared herself to write a heart-felt reply to this heart-warming letter she had just received from the love of her life.
