Before I forget: Paagal Onu OS. And Nads, you'll love this one aswell because it's just Paagal Onu 😆 😍
He was isolated. Alone. Separated from the world with just his constant thoughts and memories of Mishti to keep him company.
He thought back to when he had met her before the wedding. He didn't want to break the traditions that they both strongly believed in but he had to be with her. He couldn't bear being apart for so long despite their houses being right opposite each other.
He took her hand that day and felt that was more than enough for both of them to last them til the day of their wedding.
They were so close, yet so far. Just like today. They were so far in terms of distance but his heart was hers and always would be.
The pain in his heart would get worse as each night of seclusion passed.
How did he manage to live without her for 8 years when they separated in childhood?
She must have been living and dying everyday because of the separation whereas he had just missed her. Although he thought that's what it was. He thought she was just his best friend. Just the one person he could share his innermost feelings with without worrying about how she'd react.
But no, she wasn't just that to him. She wasn't just his support when he fell, his shoulder when he needed to cry. his canvas when he needed to let his anger out.
She was the one who cried when he cried, was in pain when he got hurt and smiled when she saw him laughing.
She silently endured everything: him rejecting her in public, him getting engaged to someone else, him accusing her of all sorts. Yet she never said a word to him. She never once said anything about how it made her feel. But he knew. He saw her when she cried alone. She may not have known he was there but he did see the tears fall down her cheeks.
And when she tried to leave Kolkata... he felt as if she was taking a piece of his heart with her.
It was then and only then he realised what she meant to him. He wasn't going to let her go. He couldn't. He had to stop her.
Where was she now? Where was she when he needed her?
In the back of his mind Onu knew that if his Mishti wasn't there, there had to be a good reason. There always was. He knew that she would be there in an instant if she could. His Mishti would never let him down. He just had to wait.
All he could do was wait for her to come. And that's what he would do. Wait.
