Part-1
''Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone.''
A lady in her early twenties made her way to board the plane after security check-up . She was dressed in white top with blue-faded jeans and crushed duppata arund her neck . She had a different kind of aura around her , which made people turn back atleast once to catch a glimpse of herz ...Though , her eyes were covered by black rimmed glasses , still they could easily captivate anyone . She was none other but Nupur Bhushan ..hmm , better called as Dr.Nupur Bhushan. Yes , she was one of the best cardiologist in one of the renowned hospital of Mumbai , LifeLine Hospital .
[Nupur's POV]
I took my seat and looked out from the window ..it was amazin to watch the sky blushin as the sun kissed her horizon to bid her adieu for the day . I smiled and went back to rest my head on seat , i thought about my cousin Gunjan who was gonna get married in cuming two months and i was heading to Delhi to attend celebrations of her entering into a entirely new life . I hadnt been in contact with her for almost three years and now i was black-mailed to attend her wedding by alost the entire family including my Dad , who was tired of my work , as i culdnt take enough time even for him , inspite he being in Pune, My Dad was an established business man ,we had chain of hotels all over India. I visited Dad every Sunday but the duration was big trouble for him. I was filled upto brim with work and being in such a profession , i culdnt neglect it even for a minute .
This time the Head of Hospital granted me entire two month holidays , maybe coz i never asked him before and new cardiologist was appointed in the hospital but still i was allowed on one pretext that i could be called any moment , if the need arises .
Delhi...tinking about it , i took a deep breathe , it was this place which made my life beautiful as well as messy ..''thornz with roses''..thornz are always with roses, maybe thats why my life had its share of sorrow with slight happiness . Unknowingly , my thoughts drifted to the very first day of my new life, the day i met ''him'' - the day i entered the Goverment Medical College , Delhi .
It was the first day of my medical college , i was excited as wel as nervous . My dad was proud of me as i made his wish cum true and i was ahppy about it . I lived in Chandigarh , so i had to shift to hostel in Delhi ...i missed home and i remember the way i cried when Dad left me ..i saw tears in his eyes but he tried to remain strong ..I cried for almost two hours , but then my roomie [ yes...i had to share my room with one more girl] Dia made her way in . She was shocked to see me crying like a complete jerk ,she came and consoled me . She was a nice girl from delhi itself but due to her parents tourin job , they preferred hostel over home . We kicked off instantly , we talked like long lost sisterz for about three hours and then it was time for dine , i met other co-mates , everyone was friendly and it was nice feeling to be in hostel but i missed my dad ...
The next day , we went to college , it was a huge building coverin a large area. We were nervous as we were aware of the official intro being conducted today !..u must be thinking about ''official intro'' ...wel , this is a new way our seniors took out to ragg us on the pretext of Introduction ....Damn our Seniors !!!!
As we entered the lecture theatre , instead of some professor , we had our seniors waiting for our so-called ''swagat'' . I culd see the smirk on most of the guyz of the class and evil smiles being passed to each other on looking at the 100 new fishes in the tank . Dia clutched my hand as she ..well anyone , could feel my face turning pale . I looked at her , she smiled indicating to get normal soon . We sat on the benches and then the process of ragging began . They took two students- one girl and a boy to another lecture theatre were the entire class of our seniors were sittin'.
Gradually my co-mates were taken there evn Dia , i was not knowing majority of the class and boyz were completely new faces to me . Forget about noticing , i was just praying for a descent act for me...i dont want to make a fool of myself by crying in embarrasment in front of those jerkz !! Suddenly my roll no was called , instead shouted - 63 ! i got up and nervously went towards them . They indicated me to move to the second LT . i reached there ..i looked at entire class ...they seemed as hungry dogs waiting for there meal to arrive , i preferrd not looking at them again . I glanced to my right and i saw a guy , probably of my class , looking at the ghosts amused . He looked damn confident not at all afriad ...leave ''afraid'' , he was not evn ''nervous''. I guessed his roll no to be 62 ..thats why we were paired together .
One of the girl came to me , she looked sweet ..and maybe judging my condition she asked me if i culd sing a song . I , barely in audible tone said ''no'' ....singing and me ...lol !! She went to an evil looking guy and whispered something in her ear and meanwhile i was standing like a statue , continously looking down . I could feel my co-mate looking at me but i dared not move my head .
The guy went to my co-mate and ordered him to sing a song ! ...but then , another twist . One of the guy from the crowd shouted '' MAKE HIM SING FOR THE GIRL'' ..i instantly looked up ...and then at my co-mate . He looked at me and then nodded a ''yes'' !. My eyes shot up...its freaking !...ask him to sing for ur gfz , why me !!?..
Before starting the gala session , we were asked to introduce ourself . He took the mike first '' Heyy..i am Mayank from Delhi'' , he fowarded the mike to me , i took it in shaking hands ..''i ..i am Nupur Bhushan from Chandigarh''. He was asked to sit on his knees in front of me and then sing . It was getting more and more embarrasing . I kept looking down . He finaly came and sat right under my nose and started singing
''Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me''
He sang beautifully ..he had a great voice and quite captivating but it was hell embarrasing for me ..My cheeks were radiating heat ..not because i was blushing but i was embarrased . As he finished his song , the hall was filled with whistles and hooting . I culd hear people shoutin '' one more song from him'' ..if they wanted to hear , take him to home but making him sit again in front of me ...
We were going to leave the LT , when someone called me from the crowd ''Nupur , atleast give mayank a flower for singing for u ''..
everyone giggled and i again went in followed by mayank . I was handed white Daisy and was asked to give him . I looked at him and he smiled . He had cute dimples and i thought it to be the best smile ever i saw...Wait !!..stop drooling over his smile Nupur ..
I walked towards him and handed him to flower . He took the flower from extreme edge and again smiled me in assurance . Again the hall clapped but this time , i felt nothing . I rushed out of the LT and straight away headed to hostel .
i came out of my thoughts as the we were announced that v reached Delhi .
Life again made me come to Delhi which i avoided !!
thats it guyz....hope u like it
@sam- hope i lived upto ur expectationz
love
