PART 6
Life slowly got back to its normal routine. Ashi was in mall waiting for Vrinda to join her for lunch…She was having some stomach problems since a week and had gone to maate the doctor. Vrinda had gone so hyper as she always did…but today she had called Ashi and told her she wanted to talk to her. So here was ashi waiting for her frnd impatiently.
Suddenly, her eyes fell over a tall well built man who was standing on d door and staring her. She couldn't remove her eyes off him and neither could she stop him from coming towards her. She was getting nervous and hastily she tried to get up and go somewhere else…but his voice stilled her…
"Ashi," he said. Hearing that voice, she turned to face him and it felt as if she were standing on a time machine and was thrown back in time…thrown back to maurya, where she had met him and where he had become one of her closest frnds. They both were staring at each other…unable to break away from the heavy load of memories…memories which were very special to be forgotten by words. A tear trickled through her face but she steadied herself…something told her that nothing had changed btwn them that he felt the same way for her as he did so long ago, tht he still was her…THAKUR…and she said in a weak voice, "hey thakur!" that one word said it all and all he could do is to envelope her in a bear hug as if repenting for the years of friendship they had lost…
Part 7
"So thakur…kaise hai aap?"
"Kaise dikh rahe hai hum aapko?"
"hmmmm…buddhe!! Hahaha…camels buddhe hone ke baad aur bhi cute lagte hai kyaa?"
"Ashiiii…Hey bhaggu!! Aap kab sudherangi??"
"Hahaha…jab tum real wale camel ban jaoge tab"
And they started giggling hysterically…forgetting that they were adults. All they remembered was Maurya…and the blissful days they had spend together. The time had changed and they had changed. Their lives had taken separate turns but one thing remained unchanged….and that was the bond they shared…even after so many years…they felt that they had never lost touch. Ranveer thought that finally he had found that one person again who knew him inside out and who would even today stand by him if need be; she was and she always would be his best friend. Tia was his love, his life but his frnd on whom he too had blind trust was only and only ashi. Ashi was sad…sad that life had cheated on her with so many things. She had lost people who meant so much to her but she thanked bhaggu that her friend was still hers…without any dust of time in between but she wondered…was her mum still hers…..???
