SidNi OS Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
"Mujhe aazmati hai teri kami!" singing alone was no fun , he realized. He needed her , he needed her for himself , to keep himself sane!
Siddharth watched outside , all these people running ahead in their lives had no idea what he had been through. Agreed many people suffer heartbreaks and even worse problems but if that is from the person you know is your soulmate it hurts , nothing seems probable anymore!
He watched the flickering lights , he remembered the times they sat together during his singing sessions staring as people moved on with their lives , how serene it all looked with her in his arms.
The comfort was missing , her soft hands moving on his face were missing. He wished somehow she rushed back to him , he wished she never had to leave.
"Siddharth sir!" David came knocking on the door. Sid passed a nod asking him to continue speaking , he wasn't expecting anything after all his life seemed like a punishment to him now.
David wasn't just an assistant to him , he was a friend too. He came and held his shoulder whispering ,"Roshni has showed improvement!"
The sudden hope in Siddharth's eyes was visible and might have been visible to even a blind man because it is said love doesn't need words , emotions are enough.
He tried a lot to speak but words failed him , the tears pouring from his eyes said it all. For a singer like him , words mattered but his feelings for her overpowered all. The music in his heart was flowing from his eyes , they were hopeful tears.
"David , take me to her!" he spluttered somehow and David held him up , as they rushed to the hospital ward Siddharth couldn't help but have scary thoughts come back to him.
It has taken her five years to come back to me , is she coming back for sure? Is this the reality or is this some kind of a dream? Will she leave me again , I won't be able to live without her now.
"Excuse me Sir. Ms. Roshni is now out of coma , I presume you might be Siddharth. She has been asking for only that one person!" the doctor told making Siddharth fall down on the floor.
"Meri Roshni wapis aa gayi hai. Kya aisa ho sakta hai ki usne bhi mera waise hi intezaar kiya ho jaise maine uska kiya hai?" he asked looking here and there trying hard to control his emotions but it was just too hard.
Flashback
"Agar mujhe kabhi bhi kuch hua tum aage badh jana Siddharth." Roshni spoke making him cringe , he couldn't ever do that.
"Kya tum ye kar logi?" he countered her question making her look up to him. She moved out of their hugging position and started laughing.
"Of course I can do that. Isme itna tough kya hoga ,bs tumhare jaisa pagal dhundna padega!" she winked returning back to him.
He kept staring at her long after that as she slept peacefully in his arms , when he started to get up in the middle of the night to switch off the lights he felt her grip him tight.
"Never leave me Siddharth ,not even in your dreams." he felt her mumble and a wide smile came upon his face as he heard her. This was a promise he would keep forever he had vowed.
Present
"Siddharth , snap out of it. Go and meet her!" David told him and he rushed inside only to see her playing with the equipments that bounded her , she was never the one to be captured was she?
A relief reached his expressions seeing her all fine , even if she didn't want him he would be happy just with her living happily , that was his love.
"Kitna time ho gaya mujhe sote hue?" asked Roshni and he pursed his lips. He wasn't in a state to answer her questions , he reached closer and took into her lean form.
Siddharth tried hard to control the urge to hug her but couldn't anymore when she read his eyes and stretched her hands inviting him for an hug.
As he crushed himself on her he knew he was maybe hurting her but he had to share his pain. It was almost a good thirty minutes when he got up from that position only to see her pillow smudged with his tears.
"You little liar , you always told me you didn't like sleeping!" he complained trying to lighten up the mood and she joined in the joke feeling good.
"Saari zindagi ki neend puri kar li. Five years Roshni , I've waited and it has been hard but this , seeing you smile like this makes up for every second of it!" he said making her widen her eyes.
"I'm so sorry Siddharth , you shouldn't have been here waiting. You should've moved on! You.." she started speaking but he moved closer and pecked her forehead.
"I told you I will never leave you. Don't you want me anymore? If that's how it is I will understand!" he said slowly awaiting her reaction.
What he wasn't anticipating was her reaction! She slapped him hard and then pulled him in to kiss him , he was surprised but he could have waited a 100 years more for this feeling.
"You were waiting for me for such a long time , if I wouldn't want you then I don't think I deserve to live or my life will have any meaning! I'm back here alright just because of you Siddharth." she said cuddling in his chest.
"You know tumhari wajah se I couldn't even see you today!" he said pouting but when she didn't get the meaning he started reminding her.
Flashback
"Siddharth how could you forget it's been three years to our anniversary?" Roshni thundered feeling really sad and hurt.
"Baby I didn't forget it. I remembered but it kind of slipped my mind to wish you , I've brought you the gift as well but just forgot.." he tried justifying but she didn't seem to listen.
"I never value these dates much but I don't know it hurts so much. It feels like the love you had for me isn't there anymore. It feels suffocating , I need to go now. I'll see you later!" she said walking out of his apartment.
Later in the night when she came back she tried finding him but he wasn't anywhere. She searched and finally saw him sleeping in the washroom.
At first she got concerned , then tears summed up in her eyes. He had hurt himself because he hurt her ,just that he had hurt himself physically.
"Kyun kiya ye Siddharth?" she asked crying hard as she clutched his bruised arm and his blood filled hand. She bandaged it as he kept looking at her all this while.
"Aaj se is din par tum meri shakal nahi dekhoge , ye tumhari punishment khud ko hurt karne ke liye." she told him very seriously cursing herself for being so harsh to him earlier.
"Okay. Now don't blame yourself for saying all that to me , you were right ,I was wrong , I'm sorry. I'll follow your punishment obediently ma'am!" he saluted like a soldier.
"My gift?" she asked smiling at his antics. He rushed inside to get his guitar and started singing for his girlfriend!!
Tu safar mera
Hai tu hi meri manzil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
"That's beautiful Siddharth. I'm so sorry and I love you so so much!" she thanked him before lunging in his arms while he felt happy again.
"Abhi toh the song is incomplete , I'll complete it one day and sing for you!" he said stroking her hair lovingly.
Present
"Happy anniversary Siddharth , its out eighth one right?" she asked not sure as she wasn't sure as she had been sleeping for long.
"Yes it is and this time it's you who forgot it." he said smirking at her while she looked at him with tears brimming in her eyes.
He gently wiped them when she asked him,"Kitne saal ho gaye , shaadi vaadi nahi karni hai kya , date hi karte rahenge?"
He loved seeing her back to her teasing self and said ,"Sochne do. Hospital mein propose karna kitna rate karogi on your romance meter?"
Roshni showed five fingers signalling 5/10. He shook his head at her kiddish behaviour , she was still the same. They were still the same , soon she was discharged.
Later on in the car she questioned him out of the blue ,"Siddharth have you finished that song , the one you sang that day?"
Siddharth reached out and held her hand close to his heart before shaking his head in a NO. Before she could ask again , he signalled they had reached their house.
Days passed on , Roshni was back but neither of them was able to fill the gap that the five years had created. It was one such morning when Roshni turned on her TV set.
Surprised to see Siddharth on the screen she turned on the volume. He was performing in a concert live , he hadn't even informed her about it.
"I know Roshni , it's been long , it's been long since I sang for you , long since I said I love you , long since we shared any memory together but today I want to imprint a memory in your heart and mind forever."
"Our love has strengthened in the time we were apart , we've started loving each other more and above all that , I've started respecting you more. So here's my proposal through this very special song."
Tu safar mera
Hai tu hi meri manzil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
Tu mera Khuda
Tu hi duaa mein shaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
Mujhe aazmaati hai teri kami
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Junoon hai mera
Banoon main tere qaabil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
Yeh rooh bhi meri
Yeh jism bhi mera
Utna mera nahi
Jitna hua tera
Tune diya hai jo
Woh dard hi sahi
Tujhse mila hai toh
Inaam hai mera
Mera aasmaan dhoondhe teri zameen
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Zameen pe na sahi
Toh aasmaan mein aa mil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
Maana ki teri maujoodgi se
Ye zindagani mehroom hai
Jeene ka koi dooja tareeka
Na mere dil ko maaloom hai
Tujhko main kitni
Shiddat se chaahun
Chaahe toh rehna tu be-khabar
Mohtaaz manzil ka toh nahi hai
Ye ek tarfa mera safar, safar
Khoobsurat hai manzil se bhi
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Adhura hoke bhi
Hai ishq mera kaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil
"I promised you I'll complete the incomplete song and have you hear it Roshni. Aaj puri duniya ke saamne maine ye gaana complete kar hi diya. But I've been able to do it because of you , you're my inspiration and the reason I sing , the reason I enjoy life is you. It's impossible living without you!" he confessed!
He felt his phone ringing in his pocket and seeing her name flash it was clear to him what her answer would be but just to hear it he pushed it on speaker.
"Will you marry me Roshni and complete the incomplete melody of my life?" he asked out loud getting cheers from everyone in the crowd.
"I will complete you and marry you if you will stand by me forever like a rock protecting me. You're my strength Siddharth." she confessed and it was clear she had reduced to tears.
"And you're my weakness Roshni. A weakness when with me turns to my biggest strength." he said feeling content as finally his life was back.
