PART ONE
it was raining heavily..wind was howling! ashu got out from kgh and ran towards the parking lot...it was again a very hectic day for him...but the cool breeze which was hitting his face was enough to get rid of the tiredness and the rain drop was enough to change his mood! it was raining so heavily that it's really very difficult to open his eyes to get the glimps of the darkness of a rainy night! but as people says the best things in life r the unseen, that's why we close our eyes when we kiss,cry and dream! but may b those people never experienced this feelings of raindrops falling on the face, cool breeze kissing on the cheeks nd touching the body with closed eyes! but the bigest reality of life is all this beautiful moments of life can never last very long!
just like the days which he lived with his beloved parents! he used to enjoy such rainy days with his parents...as a only child of his parents-he was always their first priority! but that day...the car accident made him all alone...ending those special moments of his life! now these raindrops remembered him those moments which was lost with the passage of time!
ashu blow of those thoughts nd got into the car,pressed the start button with a trembling hand! he was shevering with cold...so he thought to light up a ciggerate...but with that raindrops all his things got wet! there was not much traffic as it remains on usual days due to this destructive yet beautiful shape of nature...so he reached a shop nd rushed to the shop for a packet of cigerate without caring the heavy drops of rain..within few minutes and with few more drops of water he returned to his car!
he was letting the smoke to go and dissolve in the water drops falling from the skythrough the glass...suddenly his eyes got stuck to rear-view mirror of his car..the lights of the vehicles coming from the opposite direction were making everything look bright and the moment they were crossing hin=m everything was dissolving in the darkness of the night...it was just like seeing a dream with open eyes!
suddenly he saw a woman trying to wipe off her wait hairs from her face with one hand, while holding a umbrella in other one! the wind was blowing so hard that both her umbrella nd hair were finding difficult to stay at proper place...she was really beautiful..her face was so bright nd her smile was innocent! she had an endaring personality! the lightening on the sky nd the headlights of the vehicles coming from the opposite direction were enough to give him glimpse even though there was darkness everywhere...her face could b compared to moonlight falling on the white pearl in the black ocean...he was just looking at the most beautiful face he had ever seen!!!
it was hard to ignore but he was about reaching home than falling in love with a person whose name even he didn't know! he was always a man known very strict nd introvert! he avoided all relations as he afraid of loosing them again! but falling in love isn't in ur hand all time...it just happened...just like that! still sometimes it is hard for a man to go against what heart is saying nd to listen mind,so he preferred to see her face for few more minutes!he knew that she was not the moon that comes every evening nd he was not even sure when would it rain again so that he would get a chance to experience how it feels to see when the beauty of a women beats the beauty of a nature! few minutes earlier he was experiencing a dream but now it had turned into a beautiful dream!
after few minutes of strugle d umbrella which was dancing with the wind slipped out of her hand!after seeing that the first thought that came to his mind was to run nd hold her umbrella with her so that she could realise there was a person who could b her strength in this journey of life! but then he thought it would b better if he asked her for a lift!
he took the car in reverse for few meters .she noticed him coming towards her but pretends as if she didn't!
ashu asked her if he could drop her somewhere! even though she knew it's already late, with not a single taxi on d road; she preferred to remain silent!may b there was a doubt goinig through her mind nd it was obvious! they never meet before 'they never knew their name;so it was really dificult for a girl to decide whether believe that person or not !
ashu could read her face that moment so he told'what r u thinking?i'm not going to rape u! i just want to help u seeing u alone!
she started laughing listening to this. ashu couldn't get why she was laughing..so he said---no do not think that i can't! it just i do not want to do so!
by listening this she preferred to remain silent! so he continued---aj apko shayaad yaha koi taxi na mile!agar apko lagta hain k main ap par koi ehsaan kar raha hoon to ap mujhe koi taxi driver samajh lijiye! aur mujhe pay kar dijiyega! fair deai! now get in!
...ok! it's fair enough!'she replied with a smiling face nd got into the car!
...but i would b really happy if u will not pay for it!
she smiled nd liked to look outside through glass! both were silent for sometime nd then ashu broke that!
...emmm! mujhe lagta hain mujhe apke address chahiye hoga apko ghar drop karne kliye!
---oh! i'm so sorry! i forgot about that! age se left lelijiye,pls!
...waise main apka naam jaan sakta hoon?
...nidhi..nidhi verma!
...nidhi! nice name..nd i'm ashutosh mathur!
...nice to meet u, mr. ashutosh!
next one hour while driving, they kept on chatting with eachother! it was feeling as if they both knew eachother sinch a long time! nidhi had the ability to make the other person smile out of nothing! ashu didn,t know when he told her about his life which he always tried to hide! he told her that he was adopted...though this truth he forgot himself! he didn't care about if he was looking stupid, while sharing those funny instances of life with her..he was just happy seeing her smile nd wiping off her hairs from her face; so that either she could see him or he could get a glimps of her beautiful face!
ashu stopped the car ...suddenly the silence nd the sound of those raindrops hitting his car's bonnet hard...made him realize that now he had to wake up from the dream...he was experiencing in the real world with open eyes!!
before nidhi got down from the car to walk towards her place; she said 'thank u" with the most beautiful smile!
ashu got a feeling as if she wanted to tell lot more than these two words! but she didn't! might b she was expecting him to speak...but he once again failed to express him! he just said--- it was a pleasure to meeting u, nidhi!
nidhi turned to go in the rain...her foot steps didn't allow her to make a hurry...she once again turned to ashu...nd there he was looking at her!!
she came back to his car nd knocked at d glass nd ashu opened it hurriedly!
...kya hua, nidhi? kuch chahiye apko?
...emmm..mr. ashutosh! apne kaha ap doc. ho! hain na?
...haan! to?
...aj barish me bhigne k bad mujhe lagta hain k shayaad mujhe ak doc ki jaruraat ho! to kya ap apna number de sakte hain pls??
