Guys I wanted to write an OS based on one dream I had in the morning and also in that old song:) I duno I love the song a lot😳 I want to keep the same feel.
...
Rahul: The early 40 year old guy - married to Jenny, no kids
Muskaan: The late 30s year old lady - the successful businesswoman - adopted a child,now twelve year old Rahul, but not married.
...
Dear Muskaan
I need to fly away to my hometown as my mother is seriously ill and dad is not in a good condition either for him to take care of mum. I really wish to take you with me as well but as you know that I am still working for me to save over to build a home for us first. I do not want to go to ask your hands when I am nothing but a twenty-five year old engineer who shares his room with some boys and he does not even have a place to keep the lady he loves except in his heart. I know that life is not made up with romantic ideas and we need to keep our heart and feet on the ground in order to fulfil what we have to. I love you Muskaan. My heart is tearing out for me to leave you all a sudden but I know you will understand me. In the faith of your love I am keeping myself warm for me to take care of my parents.In the name of our love, I wish to gift you this little pendant. I did not have time to buy the necklace. So many things seemed to be due between us and I promise you that I will talk about you with my parents when I see the opportunity. How I wish that I could have told you earlier on and how I wish you could give me a hug before I left. Yet the workloads were so much that I managed to write to you on the train and on the way to the airport. I am going on emergency call. As soon I get there I will mail you but this one I prefered to send you as a letter. Like you see I feel to pour my heart in this letter but anyway . . . . . .
A man that loves you more than his worship
Rahul
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18 years ago was the letter that Rahul sent to a girl he loved immersely. A girl whom he wanted to spend his life with but due to the circumstance then everything faded except the beat he had for her. He felt he betrayed the girl as she mailed him in response of that letter he sent to her something that his mind can still remember vividly:
Hello my sweet darling
Take care of yourself and mummyji and daddyji. I will wait for you as we have the entire life to spend with. I wish I would have been your wife already, I wanted to take care of your parents like I took care of mine. I will pray for them and I love you sweet Rahul. I understood that you will be busy but I know that you will think of me. I will wait for you my sweet babe.
Knock Knock Knock,the girl who is madly in love with you is at the door of your heart, can she shelter in:)
Muskiii
Her cheerful bubbly understanding and sweet nature attracted him as a magnet. She was the one that he can laid his head on her lap and get the warmth that he needed to continue the struggle he was determined to ameliorate before asking her hand.
What happened then? Why could not he fulfil his promise to Muskaan? Why did his adored parents' last wish was to marry Jenny, his childhood friend who stayed in the same roof as him as she was orphan. Jenny was his good friend, she is a nice girl but he could not think of her as he loved Muskaan. He felt a guilt in him - that of leaving someone waiting for him to return when he has already moved on in his life. He could not give his wife also the pleasure that a husband credits his wife. He felt he has been betrayed by life or rather by his own character.If only he acted on what he wanted 18 years ago, things would have been different,would not it be?
It has been 18 years of marriage now but he knew like Jenny that this wedding was more friendship living rather than a real husband and wife. He said to Jenny before he got married to her that he loves Muskaan and still Jenny accepted him as his husband. Perhaps because it was the dream of every girl getting married but then what about Muskaan?
''Rahul, I would like to get three kids:1 twin: 2girls and a boy. There name will be Aarohi, Amithi and Abhinav,'' are the vivid chirpy memories that still echoed in Rahul's mind.
His heart felt the sweet bitter pain upon this thought. He got twice promotion in his job in these 18 years and he bought a flat in which he lived. After being married,he did not have guts to face Muskaan. When he mustered the courage,it was a decade ago and by then Muskaan has already moved on from Gurgaon. Ofcourse she did not mail him as well and why was he expecting a mail when he was the one who never turned up. He felt he has screwed his life by his own hand because he could not be either a father as he could not see Jenny more than a friend.
Routines in their lives were on the bringe to create boredom in Rahul and Jenny. Jenny as a housewife is a perfect lady any man will dream to have as a wife. He could not cherish her because he was not the man she deserved to be. He felt to be over the years weak and frustrated. The only good thing was that he did not vent his frustration to Jenny but he breathed it in as cigars. He did not want to give Jenny a divorce because no one would take care of her which made him sustained the wedding. They usually have their long chats and they usually have their couple moments as well but the love factor was missing from Rahul to Jenny. Jenny who was really younger compared to Muskaan,with a seven years gap between them made her more respect her husband rather than complaining the bad husband she got. T
This year on her 35th birthday,first time in their wedding life, she actually asked him if he could bring her to Vishnuprayag in Uttarakhand. Being religious and fervent devotee of the Lords,Jenny wanted to thank for her peaceful life she is leading when she thought all her doors have been closed. She knew that Rahul still loved Muskaan but she has faith that one day he would realised that the past has bygone and accepted her completely as a wife. She wanted to be a mother like all her friends but she adored Rahul to the extent that she preferred him to have the say. She was happy that Rahul did not object on the 12 hour trip.
They decided to make their way on car in one and half day journey and they will take rest on the second day and the third day they will go for the famous place in that beautiful pious feel atmosphere. The wind breeze they both enjoyed and the beautiful scenery they both being passionate amateur photographer enjoyed clicked on were brilliant. It was first time they actually went for a holiday. They did not have honeymoon as the circumstances that cropped for their wedding left both of them a weird feeling rather than to be happy on their sort. Rahul was enjoying the change in the atmosphere. Suddenly a thought striked to him about about pouring his deepest wish here and if Jenny belief is true,his wish must fulfilled by all sort.He looked concern.
...
Somewhere in Bandra
''Mom, should we really go to this Uttarakhand,I will miss the polo match with Arjun and Abhinav and others.'' said the young twelve year old Rahul.
''Beto,don't be so fussy,sweetheart, you will enjoy to see the other side of India. Also our construction company are uprgading the road and pavements, so I will need to go and see my employees,I need to make sure on their hygiene and health and safety. Afterall employees of MuskiRa contruction co lt should keep its reputation of treating their employees as a fanily member.'' said the thirty nine year old Muskaan, with her traits still the same but just that some sign of grey hair in the front and a slightly wrinkled frown.
''Okay moms, I love you'' replied cheerfully Rahul
''You are my love too,Rahul''
''at what time we are going mom?''
''we are going today by train in the evening. make sure to have pack your camera.as for me i have taken the work schedules and those things that we will need.it will be a fun week beto''
Rahul smiled. Rahul was the adopted son of Muskaan and he knew about it. Muskaan who is now a renowned business woman in her city that she came in a decade ago,she gradually built her name and the reputation of the company. Rahul was the son of two of his employees, husband and wife who had an accident on the way home from work by a careless truck driver. Rahul does not not remember his real name. He was two when the incident happened.
This is when Muskaan also realised that her waiting for Rahul,her love, is to be ceased and to take care of this child as if it is hers. She decided to live for this angel now. Yet she was not angry to her lover. She is still sure something happened in the circumstances for him not to turn up. They were in a relationship for three years and if Rahul had to cheat on her, there would have been other reasons. She graced the love of this man because the moment of waiting actually changed her future completely. She began to realise her entrepreneurial flair and ventured in it. Now being the owner of a construction company and the owner of a logistic distribution,she felt that it is enough for her to earn a living and to take care of young Rahul and of her employees. Despite that she is not longer the fun loving girl she was and she had a voidness in her but she is able to face it with high spirits.
Muskaan believes to live the moments and despite it seemed she could not move on from the love interest, the truth is she has actually progressed.
Off to go,mother and son are heading to Uttarakhand.

1st writing
It was around 9 p.m in the valleys of Uttarakhand, Rahul wanted to capture some of the best moments at this place he is loving. He is passionate about watching starry nights and taking pictures. He was determined to have such a night as well. He knew that he came here for Jenny and thought to ask her whether she would like to join him. Jenny who kept being happy with small things in life immediately consented a yes for their night walk out. Their hill station was not far from where they are heading. It was indeed such a peaceful place and a recommended place to be for a break.
''Was it the dream of Jenny to come here?'' he wondered and asked.
Jenny looked at him and smiled because for the first time her husband asked her something about herself rather than about domestic chores and responsibilities. She blushed and nodded positively and added that she watched the place in a travel show in the television some years ago. She wanted to come here then but she understood that at that time, the house and Rahul's work were more important.
They were coming out from the gate of their hill station when a rickshaw driver splashed mud on the white shirt of Rahul when the driver stopped the rickshaw for his passengers to get off.
''Rahul, go and apologise to this uncle on what has happened while I am paying the fare.'' said Muskaan when she was getting out of the rickshaw. She knew that neither the driver nor the man who was walking with his wife were at fault.
''Yesss mom, should I befriend them too?'' asked Rahul who loves to meet and talk to new persons.
''Not today beta,it is a bit late, but if you want invite them for breakfast with us tomorrow.''added Muskaan.
''Okay Mom'' said Rahul when he was heading to the couple.
''Kitna hua bhaiya?'' asked Muskaan to the rickshaw driver in the same time when Rahul called the Mr&Mrs Rahul Sharma ''Uncle''
''Oh no, I need to change my shirt,'' said Rahul ''careless driver'' he added.
''That is fine, I will wait for you at the reception.'' replied Jenny.
''Uncle,''called young Rahul again.
''Did someone call me?''asked bearded Rahul to Jenny.
''I think the boy behind you is calling for you,'' replied politely Jenny.
The high spirit young guy ran to him and smiled.
''Hello Uncle, I am Rahul. Actually mom asked me to come to apologise on the mud splash. Please don't be angry.'' said Rahul in his usual chill tone.
''Oh Young boy, thats fine. what a coincidence, my name is Rahul as well.'' replied the blue eyed man with full fascination on the charisma of the new Rahul.
''Wow, uncle Rahul. Please join us for breakfast tomorrow. My mom will really like meeting you. Actually I like to introduce new friends to my mom.''added the chirpy Rahul.
Jenny was enjoying the scene as she never saw the sweet childish part of her husbad.
''Aunty, please come.'' requested Rahul.
''We are joining'' said the couple who were equally surprised on coincidentally they replied together.
''Wohooo. Mom,they are coming,'' shouted Rahul. ''Namaste uncle,namaste aunty,now I need to head to the little hotel.'' added Rahul,''please do come,''he ended.
That young buddy really made him smile wholeheartedly. He remembered he was as confident as the little boy. He must have proud parents,he wondered.Then he got a knock to reality about how much time has passed without even cherishing with his wife and did not meet the girl who resides in his heart.
''I think forget it, lets go like this.'' Rahul said
''Uncle,''the young Rahul shouted again, ''we will be waiting for you at7am for the breakfast''
Rahul had thumbs up gesture to the young one a sign of they would make it.

2nd Writing
The forty three year old man was feeling suddenly really happy. He was weighing whether the fact he was enjoying the atmosphere of the place or the little conversation with a little boy who turns himself to be the latter new friend that is making him ecstasy.
The couple made their way to the valley while the mother and son went made their way to their booked hotel suite. Muskaan who was also carefree when she was young, knows that Rahul has the same spirit. She does not mind when he talked to new persons because she believed that the more she talked to new persons, the more the child personality and character enhance. She felt pretty cool that Rahul does not feel the voidness of his parents and he is actually growing up to a charming man. She is just as proud of her son like she used to be for her love. With some grey hairs, she understood that she did not change, just the reason that showed her personality or love modified.
They were really tired and she deicded to make an early move to the bed while letting Rahul to explore the hotel before he comes to sleep. He normally informs her and sticks to it. She has to go to the site early in the morning,at 9 am but before that she has the breakfast with Rahul's new friends.
Young Rahul was fascinated by the decor of the hotel and he felt very happy that he was convinced to come here. The polo match can be scheduled anytime but being here would not have been so. Coincidentally he made a new friend, the first day he came in as well. He was so tired to continue exploring the hotel and made his way to the suite as well. He is all excited to visit the place tomorrow and perhaps he can ask his new friend whether they mind to have him with them when they are going to visit tourist attraction places.
The couple was enjoying as well. First time that Jenny showed a genuine smile in her husband's face. Jenny was not only enjoying the company but she is feeling that after this night, the voidness between them might close. She was thinking whether to talk to him openly or listen to him. She opted the second one, she let herself be the companion to hear and see the childish part of Rahul.
Rahul was enjoying taking precise pictures of starry nights, of the horizon reflecting the moon, of the bats flying to the tree and anything he feels like taking picture. He did not realise that it came naturally at the moment to tell Jenny some of his likes and showed himself to her. He respectd Jenny for being the listener all the time and respected that she knew he was never hers and therefore she did not talk about herself to him.
An hour of walk in the valley, sweet and lovely, made the couple decided to head back where they are heading. Both being early wakers, they knew they could make the breakfast to the new boy.
*************************************************************************
Jenny rise the curtain to enjoy the beautiful morning scenery from their room and woke up Rahul as well before she went to shower and dressed up for the beautiful day. Coincidentally it was the same thing at Muskaan side as well with the exception that she prepared her bag for her to go to the site after the breakfast.
''Good Morning'' said both Rahul in their respective room.
''Are we going to religious places today.''asked Rahu to Jenny,
''I was thinking that we visit those tourists attraction as well and then next week, we go to the religious place,if this is fine to you.'' answered Jenny.
''Okay.'' he replied.
Both family dressed up and went to the restaurant where they will take the breakfast.
''Book one table of five,I think'' asked Rahul to Jenny when they reached the restaurant and I will wait for the boy and his parents here itself.
Jenny nodded and obeyed.
''Mom, I am heading to the restaurant,you come when you are all dressed.'' said young Rahul when he was leaving the room.
''Yeah beta, i need to just make sure that all files I have taken and then I am joining you guys.''
Rahul was running chirpily to the breakfast. He is excited to talk to the couple he met.
''Hello Uncle,you were waiting for us.'' said the young boy when he met the man.
''Yes dude, where are your parents?'' asked Rahul.
''I came here with my mother and she is coming in a while, let's go to the table, she is coming in some seconds.'' replied the young boy.
''As you wish Rahul'' agreed Rahul.
''Good Morning Aunty,'' greeted Rahul to Jenny.
''Good Morning Rahul, how are you?'' replied Jenny.
''I am fine,what is the plan for today?'' asked the young boy.
The couple was enjoying his questions to them, ''well beta, we will be going to visit the dam, the tibetian border, the famous lake and many more tourist attractions.'' replied Jenny.
''Oh wow,that sounds so fun. Can I join in? I will be bored watching mom on the site'' he asked innocently.
They smiled.
''You need to ask your mother,''they replied
''She will be fine with it.'' he replied.''here she comes.'' Rahul added whenhe beckoned Muskaan to join them.
3rd Writing
Muskaan nodded and made her way to his son and his elder friends. She wore a beautiful white saree today, she normally wears western outfit but as she was going to meet her employees who are working in this site for the first time, she likes to make them feel at ease when behaving like them.
''Hello beta,'' said Muskaan while she gave him a kiss in his cheek.
This voice striked Rahul. Suddenly he felt that Muskaan is really close to him. He started having a mixed sweet feeling but he knew he was dreaming. He was excited to know the parents of this wonderful child.
''Mom, this is uncle Rahul,the uncle I met yesterday and aunty Jenny.'' said Rahul cheerfully.
''Rahul'' sighed Muskaan. Suddenly she felt as if she missed a heart beat. After a decade, she felt that her heart still beating heavily. She thought Rahul,the man she fell so deeply in love just by hearing another man with the same name.
Muskaan turned to the couple to greet them.

Yeah guys I am going to continue on it today and actually I just felt that the way initially I thought to end the OS in part 2 will not be it so.
I will have a part 3 as well :)
@awi - rahul and muskaan have been another of my favourite jodi and i chose them this time rather than arjun and arohi because on their story as well despite being in love they separated. I was thinking initially to write Arjun and Natasha?? I felt nopes;)
