Yuvreen OS-Saajna

Yuvraj sat near the stairs putting his head down on his knees.He had tried the number for the umpteenth time hoping for her to pick up his call atleast for today.The day which was so special to him,not him but them.The day that they had joined hands for the sake of friendship and today the joined hands were not joined.They had separated.

People inside were enjoying the day with the one they loved but here he was feeling helpless.He was feeling all alone,all shattered.He felt incomplete without her.Last year this day they both had started an amazing bonding of friendship and in one year everything changed and more after she left.He had started having feelings for her.He did not know about her heart but still he had hopes.

All those hopes got shattered when she left for Mumbai with her dad because her dad wanted her to stay with him in Mumbai.He opened a pic of her in his phone and a tear dropped from his eye.He let out a sigh and softly whispered-

"Kyun topper...kyun??"

Ek tujhko hi bas dekhkar

Bhuli mujhko meri hi nazar

Tujhko shayad nahi hai khabar

Tujhko jeete hain hum kis kadar

He still remembered the last day when he talked to her before she left.

~Flashback~

(4 months before)

Suvreen was packing her bag in her hostel room as she had to leave the next morning.Suddenly someone knocked her door.She looked at the wall-clock.11:00 pm it read.She knew who could be there at this time.She went and opened the door and saw him standing quietly with his arms crossed on his chest.Letting out a sigh she left some space from the way and he entered quietly and directly went and sat on her bed.Suvreen closed the door and went inside and resumed her packing.

Yuvraj looked up at her and said-

"Toh..."

Suvreen who was packing still-

"Toh??"

Yuvraj-

"Kal chali jayegi tu?"

Suvreen-

"Hmm..."

Yuvraj fell silent again.He just looked down.Suvreen looked up from her bag as she didn't hear his reply.She saw him staring at his feet as if it was the most fascinating thing in the whole world.She put a few more things and zipped close the bag.Then she lifted the bag and dumped it near the other bags and returned to the bed and sat beside Yuvraj.She looked at him and said softly-

"Yuvraj?"

Yuvraj looked up at her and said-

"Tu kyun ban gayi meri best friend?Kyun jaa rahi hai mujhe chod ke?"

His eyes were brimming with unshed tears.Seeing him Suvreen's condition also became the same.She held his hand and said-

"Main kahan jaa rahi hun...yahin toh hun..."

Yuvraj now blurted at her-

"Tu nahi jaa rahi hai...jhooti kahin ki...ye sab kya hai...koi aise chod ke jaata hai kya apne friend ko...tu bahot selfish hai...bahot!"

Suvreen tried to calm him down.

"Yuvraj...mein ek saal mein wapaas aa jaungi...pakka"

"Ek saal?Ek saal bahot hai topper...uss ek saal mein tu sab bhul jayegi...woh saari raat ki meetings,hum ek saath bitaye hue pal,har woh samay jab hum ek dusre ko help karte the,woh saare SMS,inn chhe mahino ki friendship sab bhul jayegi tu ek saal mein!"

Suvreen now had tears falling down from her eyes.She did not even want to leave him.Not only a best friend,she felt more than that for him.She did not ever want to leave him.She could not do anything about it.She felt helpless.After her mother died when she was 5 years, her father was her only parent.He had taken lot of difficulties to raise her.She therefore always obeyed her father and did what he said.She could not refuse him for anything.

Yuvraj saw her crying and sniffing.He could not also say anything.He himself was crying.So he took her into a bone-crushing hug and cried on her shoulder.Suvreen also could not do anything but hugged him back tight.Yuvraj asked while crying and hugging still-

"Tu mujhe nahi bhulegi na topper?"

Suvreen felt him crying harder and so she patted his head ruffling his hairs and replied between her sobs-

"Nahi...nahi bhulungi Yuvraj...kuc...kuch bhi nahi bhulungi...pakka promise"

They remained there still crying on each others' shoulders as if their life depended on each other.

Jude jo tere khwaab se

Toh toote hum neend se

Yeh kaisa tera ishq hai

Saajna...

After a few minutes Yuvraj parted them and then looked at Suvreen and cupped her face.He held her face and said-

"Topper...please contact mein rehna"

Suvreen nodded slightly crying still.Yuvraj wiped her tears tenderly by stroking his thumb on her cheeks.Then he kissed her forehead and in a few seconds he got up and ran out closing the door behind him.

Suvreen was a little shocked by his sudden gesture of kissing but somehow she felt warm and strong from inside and closed her eyes but when he left her face and went out running she felt alone.She grabbed a pillow and dug her face into it and cried hard.

Tu haathon mein toh hai mere

Hai kyun nahi laqeeron mein

Yeh kaisa tera ishq hai

Saajna...

Yuvraj then went to his dormitory and went in his room.He closed the door shut and fell on his bed and tried to sleep.But he could not sleep.He still now could not digest the fact that she was infact leaving the next morning.Whenever he closed his eyes he could see the moments they spent together.The Valentine's day when their friendship started.

Suvreen's condition on the other side was no less.She was continuosly staring at the ceiling fan and was lost in her thoughts.She did not want to leave.How she wished Gannuji would do something that would stop her from leaving.

Tere bina kabhi

Ratein na ho meri

Tere kareeb ho

Mere ye din sabhi

The next day Suvreen walked out of the hostel with her luggage.She hugged and wished her other friends and was walking out to get an auto when Yuvraj came from nowhere and sat inside the auto.Suvreen was surprised.Yuvraj then grinned at her and said-

"Wahi khadi rahegi kya??"

Suvreen got inside and the auto started.Yuvraj was trying not to become senti atleast not when she is leaving.Suvreen was also doing the same.They tried to become normal and extra-goody types.Both of them tried to start a conversation to lighten the atmosphere but none dared to thinking if they would come to a topic where they will become all crying again then it won't be nice,so its better to just shut up and sit quiet.

Both weren't saying anything but were silently stealing glances of each other.In between they get reminded of some of the earlier times of their togetherness.

Jude jo tere khwaab se

Toh toote hum neend se

Yeh kaisa tera ishq hai

Saajna...

Then finally they reached the airport.They got down and Yuvraj paid the money.For sometime they stood their looking at each other.Then Yuvraj said-

Apna khyal rakhna theek hai...aur pankaj jaise udaas mat baithna"

Suvreen laughed a little and Yuvraj smiled.She then said-

"Tum bhi..."

Both of them smiled aat each other.Then Suvreen could see her pappa at a distance.

"Yuvraj,mere pappa aa gaye hain...mujhe jaana hoga"

Yuvraj heart skipped a beat when she said-"Mujhe jaana hoga"

Heavy heartedly he managed to fake a small smile on his face.Suvreen tried to but could not smile at all.Then they gave each other a side hug.Suvreen then held his hand and said-"Main jaldi wapaas aa jaungi...mera intezaar karna"

Suvreen stood there still holding his hand and looking into his eyes.

Tu haathon mein toh hai mere

Hai kyun nahi laqeeron mein

Yeh kaisa tera ishq hai

Saajna...

And she left waving a goodbye to Yuvraj.

~Back to the present~

"Kab tak intezaar karun tumhari...ek phone bhi nahi ki jab se gayi hai...toh wapaas kya aayegi...mujhe pata tha ki tu selfish hai...bahot selfish"

He angrily threw the phone on the ground and stood up from the stairs.He angrily banged his hand on the wall pouring out his anger and pain on it.

Tu saath hai agar

Tanha kyun hai safar

Itna bata mujhe

Kyun hai mujhse bekhabar

"Yuvraj!"

He heard a familiar voice then.He immediately turned his head to see Suvreen standing there.He could not believe his eyes.He turned to her and said-

"Topper...tu??"

Suvreen smiled and nodded.

"Haan main...wapaas aagayi hun DPSC mein,mere hi college mein,mere pichli zindagi ke paas,mere doston ke paas..."she stopped "aur tumhare paas hamesha hamesha ke liye"she added with a big smile on her face.

Yuvraj could not think of what to do.So he suddenly hugged her,but in a few seconds he left her and said angrily-

"Nahi bahot selfish hai tu...chaar mahine ho gaye lekin uss din ke baad tumne mujhse baat hi nahi ki...kyun??bhul gayi na sab kuch...apna pakka walla promise bhi...ab kyun aayi hai wapaas?"

Suvreen at first was furious but then her eyes fell on his hand which was red with blood.She grabbed his hand and worriedly asked-

"Ye kaise hua??"

Yuvraj looked at his hand in hers and pulled his hand away and said-

"Jaise bhi hua..."

Suvreen held his arm tightly and started dragging him.

"Munh band karo aur chalo tum"

Yuvraj-"Tu kar kya rahi hai?"

"Main jo bhi karu...tum munh band karo...agar tum apne man-marzi chala sakta ho toh main bhi who kar sakti hun "

Saying so she dragged him to her room and made him go inside and sit on her bed.Then she rushed like a lightning and brought the medicine box.She took his hand and first cleaned the wound carefully and then bandaged the hand.Then finally she looked up at his questioning face.

Yuvraj was gently touched by her concern for him.So he sat silently wondering why she had been keeping away from him and tried to avoid him if she cares for him.That thought again made him weak and he screamed at her again-

"Aise kyun kiya tune topper...agar tu mujhse durr hi jaana chahti thi toh pehle bhi bata sakti thi...jaanti hai tu kaise main kya soch baithta tha..."

Suvreen cut him in mid-sentence and said back with force with her tears dropping from her eyes-"Main bahot achhi thi...yahi soch rahe ho na tum...inn chaar mahino mein mera life pura badal gaya...ghut ghut ke jee rahi thi main..."

Yuvraj was a little shocked at her expression and words so he calmed down a little and Suvreen continued her ranting without trying to stop her tears.

"Main jab Mumbai pahunchi tab main khush nahi thi...par phir bhi sab theek chal raha tha...do hafte baad Pappa ka accident ho gaya...aur..aur..."

She could not say more and sat on the floor on her knees with her face in her hands crying bitterly.

Yuvraj could not do anything.He stood there shocked.He still could not believe what had happened.He too knelt on the floor and waited for her to react to something.Suvreen sniffed and wiped her tears.She continued-

"Main jinda-laash ban gayi thi Yuvraj...pappa ke dost sab mujhe support kar rahe thhe par kitne din karte...Main colg jaati thi aur wapaas aati thi.I lived all to myself.Mujhe tumhare calls aa rahe thhe lekin mein khud mein khoyi si rehti thi.Phir mein apna peechle din ko bhulakar wapaas apne duniya mein aana chahti thi.Apne duniya jahaan main khul ke jee sakun.Main wapaas toh aa gayi par phir bhi mein akeli hi hoon.Pehle mamma aur ab Pappa,dono mujhe akela chod ke chale gaye "

She looked up at him and again a fresh set of tears rolled down her cheeks.

Yuvraj's anger melted when he heard her part of the story.He now could not think of what he should do.He wondered how strong this girl is.She lived all these days all to herself without anyone's support.And the biggest fact that mattered him the most that she came back here to live a fresh life again.He then fell sad hearing the last sentences.

"Main wapaas toh aa gayi par phir bhi mein akeli hi hoon.Pehle mamma aur ab Pappa,dono mujhe akela chod ke chale gaye"

He felt bad and thought about his own parents whom he had never seen.He was brought by his uncle and aunt who hated him the most.So he made up his mind and started living on his own.His cousin(brother) helped him as he loved him a lot,just like a little brother.

Suvreen poured out everything because she knew that only he could understand it better than anyone else because he was also in the same stuation.Then she saw his change of expression and then called out-

"Yuvraj...tum theek toh ho?"

Yuvraj broke his chain of thoughts and answred her-

"Topper...tu bilkul topper hai...tujhe koi bhi toofan kuch bhi nahi kar sakta..."

Suvreen smiled a little at his words.

Yuvraj held her face and said-

"Aur sun,tu akeli kahan hai...main hunt ere saath,tere saare friends hai tere saath...kabhi mat kehna kit u akeli hai...phir toh main bhi akela hunn"

Suvreen nodded and smiled.She said-

"Yuvraj hum dono akele nahi hai...hum dono ek dusre ke saath hai...haina"

Yuvraj smiled and cracked a joke to lighten the mood.

"Waise tu toh akeli hi toofan hai...tujhe kissi aur ki saath kyun chahiye"

Suvreen let her jaw drop and then said-

"Kya main toofan...tum na gadhe waale cheete ho"

Then Yuvraj stared at her for making fun of his cheetah ascent.Then both of them laughed.

Then Yuvraj said-"Topper tujhe aaj ka din yaad hai na?"

Suvreen smiled-"Hmm...kaise bhul sakti hun ki hamara friendship day hai aaj...tabhi toh aaj hi wapaas aayi hun...tumhe surprise dene"and she showed her tongue to him and stood on the floor.Then she said-"SURPRISE...Suvreen Guggal is back" and laughed.

Yuvraj stood up and said-"Achha...yeh koi surprise hai"

Suvreen-"Toh???"

Yuvraj-"Surprise dena toh tumhe aata hi nahi"

Suvreen-"Achha tumhe bada surprise dena aata hai...kaise friendship day mein tumne surprise party plan kiya tha apne friends ke liye...aise surprise tha jo sab 3 din pehle se jaante thhe" and she laughed.

Yuvraj-"Woh woh...woh tune leak kar diya tha surprise...tujhe pata chal gaya toh tu sabko bata di"

Suvreen-"Acha toh batao surprise kaise dete hain?...batao batao...bada aaya mujhe surprise karne"

Yuvraj-"Bataun tumhe" He asked challenging.

Suvreen-"Haan batao...I bet ki tum jo bhi surprise doge mujhe woh pehle se hi pata hoga...aakhir best friend ban ne ka itna phayda toh hai"She gave a victory smile.

Yuvraj-"Soch le topper..."

Suvreen-"Yuvraj mujhe 100% pata chal jayega...dekh lena"

Yuvraj-"Acha dekhte hain"

Suvreen smiled confidently.

"Theek hai"

Yuvraj then suddenly pulled her close by her waist.Suvreen then opened her eyes wide confused and shocked.Yuvraj smiled wickedly and kissed on her on her forehead then her cheeks.Suvreen had her mouth open and was blinking like a baby.Yuvraj suppressed his laugh and said-"Dekha topper...ye hota hai surprise" and he winked.

He then left her and went out of her room.

Suvreen stood there in the same position with one hand on her cheek.Then her phone call diverted her thoughts.Smiling to herself she wnet to pick up the call without noticing the number in it.She answered the call-

"Hello"

"Topper...ab mere bare mein sochna band karo aur jaake so jao...tum thak gayi hogi"

"Oh hello...tumhare bare mein koi nahi soch raha hai"she lied.

"Mujhse jhoot nahi bol sakti topper...waise tera munh dikhne layak tha tab...haha"

She knew that he was pulling her leg.

"Tumhe dekhti hun kal..."

"Abhi abhi toh dekhi hai...itni jaldi dekhne ka mann kar raha hai"

"Mujhe tumse baat nahi karna...good night...n may the bugs in ur bed give u a good bite"

With that she ended the cal and hoped onto her bed.She hugged her pillow tight and smiled to herself.She was so happy coming back here.Suddenly her phone beeped.

*A new text message*

She opened the message to read it.

"Aur ek surprise...Happy Friendship day :P"

She replied back-"Ye kaisa surprise hai...btw same to you :) "

Then she got a reply-

"Happy Valentine's Day...ab yeh toh surprise hai na :P"

"Ye bhi koi surprise nahi hai toh keep trying :P ...n same to u :P"

Then she waited for a few more minutes and was irritated.Then a message came to her-

"Topper ab ek akhri walli surprise...I love you!"

Suvreen's eyes widened seeing that message.She knew that he did but she was so happy that he himself said that.The next moment she was fidgeting with the typing what to reply back.Finally she replied back.

"Same to u :P"

Yuvraj laughed a little at the crazy reply.Then he smiled to know that she also felt the same.He also knew that from before and now he was fully confirmed.How he wished to see her face then.

Suvreen's phone beeped again.His reply:-

"Aur ek surprise doon :P"

Suvreen texted back-

"Nahi aur mat do please...mujhe surprises se dar lagne lage hain :P ;)"

Then both of them laughed at their crazy way of confessing their feelings.Finally they both had a peaceful sleep after ages.

Jude jo tere khwaab se

Toh toote hum neend se

Ye kaisa tera ishq hai

Saajna...
