One night Piya in her room--
Dear Moony,
Today Danish threw a loud and happening party just to distract Panchi as she was in a very bad mood. He wanted to cheer her up so he made sure all of her favorite things are present over there favorite food, music and the people she prefers to be around her. Panchi wants to work in Australia but her parents are not ready to send her that far and she ended up having a screaming argument with her parens.. eventually she ended up in a very disappointed and dipressed mood. On seeing this Danish planned out a fastrack party to distract her from the fight and bad mood and get a little curve in her lips. He is not happy about Panchi wanting to go to Aussi away from him but he will never spell it out as it would hurt her. Danish is a wonderful guy and i'm happy for Panchi and Danish. I wish Abhay behaves to me like that...
Abhay is not with T now (he was never with her, he just pretended to e with her; but now he doesn't even want to do it), and in a wicked way i like it. I know he keeps staring at me bu tif i tell him this he won't accept me and clearly prove i'm an attention wanting freak. I want to know why is he holding himself away from me. I love him and he loves me too.. then why all this melo-drama? Its been more than a month after the forest incident and he's not spoken a single word with me. On that evening some i felt some bond had developed between us but the very next day he shatterred it with his bitter anger. I don't want to tell everyone what happened that day but i do want to know the truth. He is strictly regular to college and after classes he sticks to library, its not that he's boring but why the hell is he so indiffirent??
Piya was struggling to understand Abhay on the other hand Abhay completely unaware of this was enjoying his life with Piya around. He was regular to college only to see Piya as spent more time in library as it was the only place where he would find Piya alone. Her friends (Misha, Kabir and Tracker) never had any time for library or books. Abhay failed to understand how come Piya gelled up with them. Tracker was mental, Misha was crazy and with Kaber was an idiot. Abhay never favored Kabir but after the thanking day event, when Abhay had started seeing Piya clearly he found that he would happily kill Kabir. He hated when Kabir tried to get close to Piya, Abhay didn't have any rights over Piya but did not want her to be with Kabir.
Library was Piya and Abhay's personal place. Abhay enjoyed Piya's expressions when she was totally engrossed in classic stories like R&J. Every night after 2 Abhay visited Piya's room and spent time looking at sleeping Piya. A week before he thought he was caught when Piya said "Your here??" For a moment he was blinded and cursed himself for entering a girl's room at mid night fall, but when she kept saying, "Ma your here.. I miss you!" he realized Piya was speaking in her sleep. From that night things had changed a lot. Abhay found that Piya talks in her sleep.. that wasn't daily but sometimes after a tired day Piya speaks out her dreams. This turned out to be Abhay's favorite time with Piya where he could peep into her little dreams. He found out many things about Piya in those little minutes of her dream like, Piya loves rains and she misses her mother a lot. He was also very happy to know that Kabir was just a friend to Piya. Tonight Abhay was sure Pia would talk in her sleep, it was a very long day with many stories.
He entered her room through the open window and settled in its sill. Abhay never dared to cross the space between the window and her bed. Piya was in deep sleep. After about an hour Piya suddenly called "Abhay!" With this Abhay froze in his stand.
Abhay: (in his mind) "Piya. Have you seen me? I shouldn't have come. What have i done?"
After few minutes Piya said, "Abhay I Love You! Ma will Abhay ever treat me like Danish treats Panchi?? I'm very happy for them. Will i ever be special to Abhay? I want Abhay to be on my side like Danish is for Panchi. I miss him ma.. I miss you Abhay.."
Abhay had been walking beside Piya for a long time and had been visiting her secretly for a period but she had never ever spoken out about him for this long. Tonight had changed many things for Abhay. He had heard Piya deep down held feelings for him and now was surprised but the reality of truth. Abhay always knew Piya liked him but he had never ever realized that she would have held a desire to have him around, but tonight he knew Piya did not want him around, she wanted him to be with her. Abhay wanted Piya but stayed away to protect her but now once she had spoken out the desire Abhay had to be with her. He can't play around from now. Piya's this love and Abhay's acceptance gave Piya a strong connection with Abhay. Now Abhay knew the blind thread once Rhone spoke about. Piya was destined to be with Abhay. He didn't know how Piya would react on knowing the real face of Abhay, didn't the fear he would be holding on Piya from this moment, didn't even know the unknown and unpredicted future; but from now on Abhay can't act of staying away from Piya. He belonged to Piya.
Abhay got out and started moving to Raichand House. He liked to spend a little time with Piya but he never expected anything like this. Now he knew that he had always underestimated Piya's love, never thought it would bind the dead corpse to a living girl. Abhay thought that if he had knows this would be happening he would have left Piya to the living world, never drag her to the borders of death and now he had dragged Piya to the darkest ends of death. With this Abhay sworn that he would protect Piya from everything both living and dead. He would be with her till the time Piya wants him there. From now Abhay would do what Piya wants. (Abhay i his mind) "Come on Abhay now that the worst is done why don't you enjoy the tiem you have.. Go get ready to talk to Piya tomorrow. Kabir your times out Piya is mine.." Abhay couldn't stop himself from rejoicing the status of his life. He planned now that all the things are wrong why now enjoy the right things thats done by the wrong. Thus started the Love of the Living and the Dead.
Mangal Lakshmi
