Hello friends!
I know its been long time! I could give you lot of excuses but then those could sound like lies. The truth is that I couldn't bring myself to write again. However, I thought to give it a try once again..
Yes , beginning is always the hardest. Starting once again after a long hiatus is going to be more difficult and hard. Still I want to give it a chance.
A madness which has kept me sane ,
A craziness which has made me happy ,
A passion which had engulfed me in a protective bubble,
Giving it wings again ,
Allowing it to fly again ,
Go on , soar high !
Play with the wind ,
Live your dreams ,
Broken Promise
She stood alone on that huge stage, dressed in her wedding fineries, eyes closed as if trying to calm her heartbeats..
In front of her, thousands waited silently, giving her silent strength
Backstage her dear ones waited with bated breaths, their admiration for her shone through their tears
Her team wiped their tears and got ready for her, they knew she had to do it..
When she slowly opened her eyes, she didnt see the crowded galleries in front of her or heard their cheering
She could only see those molten chocolate twinkling eyes, winking at her and his voice whispering "Go on meri jaan"
And she began...without him by her side.
Tu mujhe chhod jaaye
Yeh nahi ho sakta, saathiya
Your leaving me, my lover, is not possible
The music flows and her mind recalls the moment she first met him - She was leaving the stage after her dance performance with the full adrenalin rush of excietment, when she was pulled unceremoniously against him. Caught unaware, she was shocked when she went crashing against his hard body and when she looked up, she was lost in those mesmerizing eyes. She closed her eyes to block out her memories and continued from her heart
Meri baaton mein tera zikr sadaa
In my talks there's always a mention of You
Meri yaad mein teri fikr sadaa
In my memories, your worry is always there
Main jo bhi hoon tum hi to ho
I am what I am, it is because of You
Mujhe tum se mili apni adaa
From You only, I got my grace
The backdrop big screen on the stage sprang to life with his visual singing the next lines. This was taken by NK during their rehersal session. The audience could see the love in his eyes when he sung the next lines, looking into her eyes as they danced together in a waltz.
Kyunki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Because it's only You, now it's only You
Zindagi ab tum hi ho..
You're my life now
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
You're my peace, my pain also
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho
You're my only love now
She hadn't turned back to see those visuals since she could feel it in her heart and she knew one look at his face, then she wont be able to continue, hence without turning back, she sang the next lines
Tum hi ho, tum hi ho
It's only You
Arz bhi, mera marz bhi
My talks, my decisions (choices)
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
My peace, also my pain
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho
You're my only love now
The visual continued showing their recording and fun with their whole team while recording the song, while she walked through her memories of their time together. Their initial fights, his wooing, their first date, their first kiss in the rain, the proposal. The tears which she held back until now started flowing as she heard his next lines - the same lines he sang to her when he proposed her
Tere liye hi jiya main
I lived for You only
Khud ko jo yun de diya hai
I've given myself away in this way
Teri wafa ne mujhko sambhala
Your faithfulness cared for me
Saare ghamon ko dil se nikaala
It took away all the sadnesses from the heart
Main jo mit bhi gaya tto wajood mera
Even if I get eradicated, still my existence
Sadaa tujh mein rahe zinda
Shall remain alive inside You forever
She turned to look at him in screen, his face being shown as close up while he sang. It looked like he was singing looking at her..
Kyun ki tum hi ho, abb tum hi ho
Because it's only You, now it's only You
Ki zindagi abb tum hi ho.. woh o..
You're my life now
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
You're my peace, my pain also
Meri aashiqui abb tum hi ho
You're my only love now
She walked towards the screen singing..
Tum hi ho, tum hi ho
It's only You
Ki zindagi abb tum hi ho.. woh o..
You're my life now
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
My peace, also my pain
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho
As the song ending music flowed she felt her knees give away and she gave in to the trauma she held at bay till now.
He might have broken his promise of "hamesha mein tumare saath hum" in person but she knew in her heart that he will always be there, for he was her soul!
Author's note :
Inspiration: Meri Aashiqui song, this song had been haunting me ever since I heard it first time. The pain and emotion has clutched my heart like anything hence I thought of letting my imagination into words whenever I hear this song.
I got to thank two people for pushing me back into writing. They had always been behind me asking to come back ever since I gave up writing. So yes, even though this piece is not your cup of tea- I dedicate it to you both - Adhiti & Harsha!
Looking forward to hear from you all.
Looking forward to hear from you all.
Tum Se Tum Tak
