NIGHTMARE - OS ON RAMAN

Holla People.

What happens if you are stuck inside a traffic Jam for 2 hours straight and the bus refuses to move an inch.

This happens 😃. This OS is solely dedicated to Bangalore Traffic because it is their brain child. Must add that the Volvo's calm environment did act as a bonus for these thoughts.

Alright, the tone of this OS is definitely diametrically opposite to whatever I wrote above. This is a series of my abstract thoughts while I was killing time in the bus and had nothing to do.
Let me forewarn you. This one takes abstraction to another level altogether. So, if it does not make sense, or is too ajeeb for you, you can royally ignore it. I understand. Believe me. I do.

The dialogues may not be correct because I took them from my memory and some WU during the bus and presently am too tired and lazy to find the real ones.

As I have said, I usualy litsen to a song while penning down something. For some reason, I was listening to "Ham Bewafa hargiz na the" while writing this. No connection whatsoever to the OS. But fir bhi, if you want to listen to it. here it goes

Alright, enough of my bak bak. Time for the actual stuff. This time only into Raman's world.

NOT PROOFREAD

Cheers

NIGHTMARE

"I like these ones. No wait. Give me that red bunch. No, that one on the corner. Red roses. Yes. Red."

"Aap mere koi nahi lagte. Mai aapka koi nahi hoon. JUST LEAVE."

"Raman, thank you aap aa gaye. Please mujhe chorna nahi Raman. I was so afraid. Itni gandi tarah se mujhe sab ... I feel dirty."

"Sachi keh doon ki tumhare liye kya feel karta hoon ? Pakka?"

"Aapko hamesha hamse problem rahi hai. Aap hamesha sirf us Ishita ki side lete ho. I just hate her."

"Mai poori duniya ko dikhana chahti thi ki ab aap akele nahi ho.

Mai Shagun aur Ashok ko dikhana chahti thi ki ab aapko kisi ki zaroorat nahi hai. Mai hoon aapke saath."

"Aur vaise bhi, agar vahan mard hote, to shayad mai tumhe jaane deta hi nahi. Keher jo dha rahi ho."

"Aap mere pati ho. I really care for you. Aur ham kitna bhi jhagda kare, koi aapki disrespect kare, mujhse nahi sehen hota. "

"Tera beta tumhe nahi mujhe apna baap maanta hai, Raman Bhalla."

"Tum kya de sakte ho mujhe aur Adi ko sivaye is middle class life ke. You are a failure Raman. A Zero."

"Mere husband bevakoof nahi hai."

"Raman, aaj aapne jo kia na, usne mera dil choo lia."

"Dulhe Uncle, please Ishita aunty se shaadi mat karo. Aap unse shaadi kar loge to mera kya hoga?"

"Ishita, I love you. Mujhe lagta hai ki ham ek doosre ke liye bane hai. Tabhi to hamari life me koi aur tik hi nahi paaya."

"How to become a good husband."

"You failed as a father Mr. Raman Kumar Bhalla. Aap mere kuch nahi lagte. Mai aapka beta nahi hoon."

"My Papa is the best in this world."

"Raman mai aapko kabhi akela nahi chorungi."

"Papa, Please mujhe vo new vaali video game chahiye."

"Agar aap mujhse pyaar karte hai to Ishita ko meri mom se sorry maangni hogi."

"Aapko mujhe jahan bhejna hai bhej do par maine kuch nahi kia. Ishita ki vajah se mom ne mujhe thappad maara. Ishita ne meri mom ko itta rulaya."

"Raman, Adi bacha hai."

"Papa Adi bhaiya rakhi bandhwane kyu nahi aaye?"

"Raman, Adi ko ham sambhal lenge."

"We are happy married. Hamare do bache hai."

"Ruhi Papa ko Good morning kiss. Papa, Ishima se le lo."

"Raman. Adi ki khatir. Please."

"Vo Ishita meri aur meri mom ki dushman hai. Usne mom ko kitna hurt kia hai. Usne mom ko Ruhi se alag kar dia hai; abe mere saath bhi aisa hi karna chahti hai. "

"Adi hamare ghar ka chirag hai. Mere dil ka tukda."

"Raman, I trust you."

"Sirf Ruhi ke Liye. Sirf aur Sirf Ruhi ke liye. Sirf Sirf Sirf Sirf Sirf Ruhi ke liye."

"Ruhi ki agar itni chinta karogi to Ruhi ke papa ki chinta kaun karega? "

"Yahi bata do ki kya samajhti ho? Pati nahi, Bacha nahi, Sirf Ruhi ke Papa? Fir mai bhi tumhare saath usi tarah bartaav karu."

"Raman ..."

"Aap mere kuch nahi lagte. Mai aapka koi nahi hoon."

"Thehro. Kahan le ja rahe ho Adi ko? Ruko, Please. Mai, mai ... ye sambhal sakta hoon. Adi, beta chinta mat karna, Papa hai na. Papa tujhe kuch nahi hone denge. Arre, please rukiye, please mere Adi ko mujhse door mat karo. Please."

"Ishita. Mai bahot pyaar karta hoon tumse. Mai ab jee nahi sakta tumhare bina. Tum aur Ruhi meri zindagi ho. Ishita. Ishita, please mujhse door mat jao. Please Ishita."

"Ishitaaa ..."

Darkness. This is what welcomes Raman as soon as he opens his eyes while huffing and panting at the same time. His shirt is wet from severe sweating and his hands are trembling. As his eyes adjust to the jet blackness, he immediately turns towards Ishita to find her in deep slumber. Lines of worry mark her usually serene face which reflect the state of her mind. Traumatized.

He tiptoes to Ruhi's room to ensure that his little angle is safe. He is relieved to find her cuddled with her favorite teddy bear. He kisses her, adjusts her quilt and makes a move out of her room.

He wants to make sure. He checks his phone and whatsapp. Last seen at yesterday at 11:30 pm. This is all he can think of. This is all he can make sure of. This is all he has the right to. For the moment.

"Nighmare. It was just a nightmare."

"Its over now. Its OVER."

Life is GREY.

HOW WAS IT 😳? PLEASE LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS. THEY MEAN A LOT TO THE WRITER.

RES

I liked the way it all descended on him, the good and the bad. Guess the catalyst was his wife's distress and the disaster-in-making his child is becoming. He is caught in between all this while all the man probably wants is some peace.

B 🤗 ... loved that you wrote again girl. Dunno what you are talking about B, this was good.

PS - Waise am amazed you remember all the dialogues perfectly.

Wow B!.. Loved how you portrayed his turmoil. A man caught between his past and present.. till it gets resolved the future can only be a night mare. Felt bad for him

Hello there..

Wow Bhanu what an impressive OS. I was kinda confused in the beginning until I found this a nighmare, Raman's nightmare and I got so involved in the story that I was huffing as I was living it with him. That's how good it was. I felt the pain for him.

Would love to read how this nightmare becomes a dream😳.

You are such a brilliant writer dear...loved the way u portrayed the entangled destinies ...the difference in their thought processes...be it Raman's helplessness...Ishita's selfless love..Ruhi's innocence ...Shagun's arrogance or Adi's misguided mental state ...every dialogue you mentioned there were screaming their conditions...Raman's fear to loose his child because of his ex-wife's upbringing and loosing his true soul-mate Ishita due to his bitter past was beautifully portrayed ...

Bangalore's stupid traffic helped you to come up with this...hats off to you ...amazing write up :)

Loved it Totally ...was visualising every scene... the dialogues were st correct place... I felt was seeing a scene..
just a brilliant writer u are Bhanu.. well done !
