Part 10: Form Dark Cold Night to Birght Fresh Morning
Lightning strikes,
Fire blazing in the midnight skies,
Horizons clouded in a devils guise,
Angels gaze deep in your eyes.
Thunder claps,
You're startled out of a trance,
Wind swirls like a beautiful dance,
Passion hides behind a burning glance.
Rain falls,
Hatred mirrors boundless love,
I now realize you're a true white dove,
And I'm left with one I'm in awe of.
Sun shines,
The process of healing shows sentiments true,
And infinite care provides the renew,
Of my love with the one and only you.
- Max Yarus
Yuvraj was in utter confusion. All that he could see was a girl came to her in the dark. Her face was not clear. She had something in her that made him feel better. He could feel the closeness. He could today after so many years feel the completeness of his life. A life that was shattered few years back with the departure of Suvreen. Anees was standing beside Yuvraj and was wondering what was going on. Who was that girl who was there in front them a few minutes back?
Both these confused souls found peace when they heard the conversation between the girl and her parents. Yuvraj now knew why he felt complete. He had to feel complete because it was his Topper who stood in front of him a few moments back. He wanted to talk to her. He wanted to cry his heart to her. He wanted to hug her. He wanted to promise her that he would never leave her all alone. But something stopped him. Something made him feel even more miserable. He waited silently until all the three people disappeared in the dark night. This night did have a lot to mean. This night after all marked the meeting of two separated souls. Two hungry souls. Hungry for love, for friendship. Both souls had hearts filled with sorrow of lose, hope of meeting and fear of losing again. This dark and cold night did speak out the volumes of their relationship. This relationship which was dark due to the absence of the light of understanding. This relationship which was cold because it lacked the warmth of trust. This relationship was gloomy as the night.
Yuvraj slowly made his way from the corner where he was standing. Facing reality would not be easy for him. He would have to stand strong. This night was going to be a long one for him. As he was walking he could recall all that moments that he had spent with Suvreen. There was a balcony and a Swing was hanging in there. He could remember how suvreen used to always sit on it and he always used to push it for her. He moved further. He came across a picture hung on the wall. It was a picture of Suvreen receiving a Trophy on the school day. Yuvraj rememberd it was the first time when he had called her Topper. At first she was angry with him for calling her like that. But, then later he had explained it to her, why he wanted to call her so. He recalls:
Flashback:
Small Suvreen crying and sitting in the very same swing in the Guggal Balcony. She was Angry and was all grumpy. Yuvi walks to her.
Yuvi: Kya hua? Thum mujhse naraz ho?
Suvi: Haan. Aur nahi tho kya?
Yuvi: Kyun?
Suvi: Kyunki thumne muje topper bhulaya. Thum hamesha meri mazak udathe ho.
Yuvi: Lekin thum topper ho. Thum na sirf school mein topper ho balki mere zindagi mein bhi topper ho. Pata hein kyun?
Suvi: (Curious) Kyun?
Yuvi: Kyun ki, jab mere life mein koi bhi problem hoti hein tho, thum sabse se pehle samaj jathi ho. Tho thum tooper hui na? Waise bhi mien Cheetha hoon aur Cheetha ki life ko Understand karna uthna asan nahi hein. (with a smirk)
Flashbak ends.
After that he always called her Topper. For Yuvraj it was as though walking down the lane of memories. These were memories that he had always tried to cover up. But today they were all back, haunting him. But, they were not alone. They were also accompanied by two things. One was a feeling of sorrow and others were unanswerable yet unavoidable questions. He had to tonight face them all. He had fight these ghosts who were haunting him.
Finally he reached an empty room. He could recall that this was the Guggal Guest room. He decided to spend the rest of the night here. The next day morning he would inform the Guggal Family. He did not want to spoil their sleep and most of all he too wanted some kind of peace and rest.
Yuvi to Anees: Suno, hum aaj rath issi kamre mein rahenge. Thum jake fresh ho jao. Aur soo jao.
Anees who was lost in his own thoughts came out of it and went to the washroom to change. Yuvi on the other hand went to the Balcony that was connected to the Guest room. From here he could see not only the Balcony where the swing was hung, but also the Singh Mansion, where he spent his childhood.
The memories that he wanted to run away from was chasing him. They wanted their answers today. They wanted to know many answers. His mind was continuously asking him "If they understood each other that well, then what allowed Miss Understanding to creep in?" "Why could they not get rid of this miss understanding?" "Whose fault was it?"
Yuvraj could not tolerate it. He was sweating. For the first time he was feeling scared. He just could not face it. He wanted someone close to him. He wanted to sleep on someone's lap and cry his heart out like a child. He wanted protection. He wanted to protect himself. There were some selected people who could give this support to him: Rajjo, Rohini, Annie and Suvreen. But, all the three were not with him. He was left all alone to face it. The only person was Suvreen. Should he go to her? After a lot of self arugment he decided to face it. He decided to go to his Suvreen.
Yuvraj walks towards Suvreen's room. He finds two girls sleeping on the bed. He could clearly identify his Suvreen. He wondered who the other girl was. He went to Suvreen's side of the bed and was kneeling down by her side. He could clearly see Suvreen's face. Her face was glowing in the moon light. After all tonight she was the one who was going to bring some light in his life. Tonight she was the shinning star. She was the heavnly star who would guide his path. His path to reality. But how ironical was it? The star who was to guide, herself would be effected with the path she was to show. Suvreen was sleeping in peace. Seeing her in peace made him feel peace too. Her this face was something that he always was dying to see for years.
Yuvraj: (softly as he did not want to wake her up) Topper, mujhe pata hein thum mujse naraz ho. Mujhe hein bhi pata hein ki shayad hum kabhi fir se wahi dost nahi ban sakthe jo pehle the. Lekin Topper, mein ab thumare yadoon se door nahi bhaag saktha. Mein ab har lamha, har waqt, thumara saya banke rehna chatha hoon. Topper mein jantha hoon ki meine thumhe chod diya tha. Lekin topper aage se mein thumare har kadam mein saath dunga. Mein thumare har decision mein tere paas rahumga. Yeh wada mein thumse nahi, khudh se kar raha hoon topper. Yeh wada ekh Cheetha ka apne Topper ke liye hein. Yeh wada ekh dost ka apne dost ke liye hein. Iss wade ko kabhi na tootne dunga mein. Thum chaho ya na?
Right then, Suvreen smiled at him in sleep. She was sleeping like a baby. He was filled with tears. His tears made its way down his face to the bed. These tears were not just Salt water, but they had feelings in them. After all it was not everyday that the Cheetha broke down like this. He was about to get up to leave. Right then, Suvreen in sleep kept her hands on Yuvraj's hand which was on the bed. This stopped. Her grip was tight. It was as though she could not separate from him. Yuvraj did not want her to wake up. He too did not want to leave from there. He sat beside her and he did not know when he fell asleep while staring at his topper.
Next day morning, Yuvraj woke up early. Even though he was not in a comfortable position, he still slept like he has never slept in ages. His mind and heart today was feeling light. He was at once shocked that he had fallen asleep in such close proximity to Suvreen.
Yuvraj: Acha hua ki topper abhi takh utti nahi. Warna wo kya sochthi mere bare mein.
He slowly made his hand free from the tight grip of Suvreen. He walked from there to the guest room, where he found Anees peacefull lying on the bed.
He could clearly hear the commotion going on down in the living room. He could hear Suvreen's Mumma and Puppa continuously talking. He decided to go and talk to them. After all he had to inform them about his arrival.
Here Suvreen, suddenly woke up with a shout.
Suvreen: NAHI…
Tultuli who was sleeping beside her woke up.
Tultuli: Kya hua Suvi? Koi bura sapna dekha kya? Thum kuch bol kyun nahi rahi ho?
Suvi: Wo…Mujhe pata nahi kyun aisa laga ki…
Tultuli: Kya laga?
Suvi: Aisa laga ki, Yuvraj mere paas aya tha. Yahi tha mere paas. Usne mujhse wada kiya ki wo mujhe kabhi nahi chodega. Lekin achanak usne mera saath chod diya. (She starts crying)
Tultuli: Nahi Suvi aisa kuch bhi nahi hein. Sab teekh ho jayega. Bas bura sapna dekha thumne. Sab teekh ho jayega. Ekh kaam karo thum jaldi se jaake fresh ho jao.
Suvreen still lost, gets up from her bed and walks to the washroom to change.
In the washroom in front of the mirror.
Suvreen: Gannu ji, ab yeh kaisa sapna tha? Kya sach mein Yuvi mere paas tha? Kya wo sach mein mere saath rahega? Gannu ji, mujhe kuch samaj mein nahi aa raha hein. Mujhe lagtha hein ki mein pagal ho jaungi. Nahi Suvi ab bas. Ab thum uss Cheetha ke bare mein nahi sochogi. Use jo karna hein wo kare. Waise bhi aaj RC ki Film promotion hein. Mujhe uss ke liye thaiyar hona bhi tho hein. Haan yahi teekh rahega.
She decides to forget Yuvraj and starts to get ready for the promotion. But one thing was for sure. Their relationship today was not that strained as it was before last night. The night did change everything. It did seem as though the Light of Understanding, the warmth of trust has turned the Dark and Cold night into a Birght morning, with fresh air. Bright which made the relationship clear. Fresh air which marked the new start.
Will Yuvraj really be able to keep all his promise? Guys don't forget, Yuvi is always loaded with ego, so will his ego allow him to keep up his promise? Will he make sure that both his ego and his friendship is not broken? Or wait, Will yuvraj give up his ego for his friendship? What will win? Ego? Friendship? Or Both?
