Part 8 (a) : Koi Rahe Na Jab Apna
Pata hai kal rath Raman mere sapne me nahi aya...
Aisa kyun???
Kyunki kal rath mai so hi nahi paayi...
Waise bhi ab sapnon se kya wasta jab haqeeqat mera intezar kar raha hai...
OMG...I am so nervous yet excited at the same time...
Can my life get any better?
From last 10 years I have been yearning to get one glimpse of him.
And now I will be able to see him every day that too from my bare eyes.
Ayyooo! I have gone all crimson.
Mere utterance of his name gives me goosebumps, mere imagination of his face makes me blush.
I can't even begin to imagine what will happen to me when we face each other...Ayyo!
And how is he going to react when he knows that the Ms.Sanskari who has given him the demo of her Sanskar is the one he wants to spend the life with!
Ammmaaa! I will go insane...As if I am not already...hehehe...
Look what am I doing!
I am standing at the very place where we first met after 10 years...The parking stand...
I started early from home this morning at the pretext of some extra classes...That should be the most common and cliched excuse...but at the same time parents easily fall for it...Don't they?
I have reached an hour ago...as foolish as that may sound...and waiting for his arrival.
I have checked my cycles tyres for the n'th time although it's in a perfect condition. After all they are new! Credit goes to the great RKB.
I would have fumed at this name if I had not known that he is my Raman.
Now the name just makes my smile go wider.
Ayyo! See what he does to me.
I take his name and go all gaga over it.
So what was I saying?
Haan...I have checked my cycles tyres for the n'th time.
Opened my bag, checked out its contents, read my timetable, placed the books accordingly, checked my tiffin etc etc...also for the umpteenth time.
Reason?
To avoid the suspicious glances of the students who cross this place and the security guard who has been trying to gauge what I am upto.
Result?
(Un)Successful...(un) because suspicious glances are replaced by strange glances.
Whatever! As if I care!
All that I care for at this moment is the glimpse of my love.
I wish today too was a Make a wish day of my life like yesterday.
Why is he so late?
Or am I too early? Ermmm...That I am.
But phir bhi...Its almost 9.
The prayer bell should be ringing in a while.
He should be here right!
What if he is sick and taking an off today?
Ayyyo! No...
Please God please! Don't make him take an off today...
Please I want to see him...I want to talk to him...
I mumble silently closing my eyes and folding my hands in prayer.
That's when I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder.
Ayyo! He's here!
Please God give me courage to face him.
I complete my prayer and slowly open my eyes and sneakily glance at him with a thudding heart and shivering hands.
My eyes grow wide as soon as it lands on him.
My heart continues to thud and hands continue to shiver...Not because of nervousness anymore but in fear.
"Ms.Shaali?"
"What are you doing here?" she asks sternly.
"Aaa...ummm...aaa" my throat goes dry.
"What have you been doing here from last one hour? Do you have an atom bomb in your bag?"
What the hell? Bomb?
"Are you planning to blow up the school? Come on speak up"
Why would this school need an atom bomb when the nuclear bomb in front of me blows up the entire school every day! I thought.
"Come on speak up. What is up with you?"
"Nothing...Ma'am...I... was... just... looking...for...my...math...book... I...think...I...left...it...at...home"
"For the time you have been wasting here, you could have gone back home and got it. Whatever! Now just get into your class. I should not find you here again"
"Ok Ma'am" I stood there head bent down.
"What OK? Move...NOW" she yelled.
And I immediately left the place leaving behind the reason and the person I had been waiting for.
I was later stuck in the classroom till lunch hour.And when lunch hour came I realised it is not as easy as in my dreams to be found near Grade 12B.
I had to have a solid reason to be found in the senior school campus.
Waise bhi this Ms.Sanskari was quite popular among seniors for her Not-so-famous-Sanskar of slapping Oh-so-famous-RKB right across his cheek in front of the entire campus.
Hmph...my heart sank at not getting a solid reason to enter the senior campus to catch a glimpse of my Dream Boy.
However I had an important job to do before trying to find a reason to reach him.
So I marched towards my new lunch destination look for my new lunch partner.
I waved to her on spotting her in the green field.
"Hey Ishita" she waved while approaching me.
"Hi Simmi" I said giving a side hug.
"Ye lo tumhara vada" I added while extending my tiffin to her.
"Oh my! Thank you so much. Tumhe yaad tha?" she squealed aacepting my tiffin.
"Mai cheezein asani se nahi bhoolti" I shrugged proudly.
If you don't know, let me tell you I am too proud of my memory. mentally raising my collar.
"That's great. Mujhe kuch tips do na. Mai to ek number ki bhulakkad hoon. Mujhe kuch yaad hi nahi rehta" she smiled sheepishly while gobbling the vada hungrily.
"Agar aisa hai to tumhe mera naam kaise yaad raha. Tum to us waqt kaf choti bhi thi" I reminded
(Author's note: I am sure Deep must be rolling his eyes and giggling at this)
"Arre nahi. Mujhe kahan yaad tha. Woh to recently Mumma ke haat ek purani album lag gayi to usme hamare bachpan ke pics the. Tabhi Mumma ne tumhare bare me bataya to thoda kuch yaad agaya" she explained.
(Author's note: See its not a blooper anymore. That reminds me of another blooper which you will know in the next dialogue)
"Oh achha! Waise as far as I remember, tum mujhse ek saal choti ho. To us hisab se tumhe Grade 9 me hona chahye. Phir Grade 8 me kaise?" I was curious
"Don't embarrass me yaar" she did a face-palm while adding "I am a repeater"
"Oh I am sorry" I was apologetic.
"It's alright yaar. Primary classes to jaise taise puch kar liye. High school ane ke baad to pooch hi math. Aur mere teachers kuch zyada hi bharosa tha mujhpe ke agar mujhe promote kiya to mai Grade 10 me jake pakka school ka naam roshan karungi fail hoke. Isiliye Grade 8 me hi jhak maarne keliye wapas bhej diya"
"Oh"
"Par this time I am going to prove to them ke mai bhi kisi se kam nahi. Khoob mehnat karke pass ho kar dikhaungi" she acted like a warrior.
"I am sure you will" I encouraged her while patting her back.
"Bas yehi bath na bhool jaun" she said laughing hysterically.
"Kuch bhi!" I said chuckling
"Oye!" she smacked her forehead.
"Kya hua?" I asked.
"Bhoolne ki bath pe yad aya ke mai bhool gayi"
"Kya?" I didn't get what she said at all.
"Mujhe abhi yaad aya ke mai Mumma aur Bhai ko tumhare bare me batana bhool gayi"
"Oh" I mumbled. I was unable to decide if I was happy or disappointed about it.
"Waise ek baat batao. Tumhe lagta hai Bhai ko sab yaad hoga?"
"Khwab me to sab yaad tha" I said in a trance.
"Khwab me? Come again" she said staring at me intently.
I bit my tongue punishing it for the slip.
"Kuch nahi. Nothing important" I tried to shrug it off.
"Hmmm...Mujhe kyun bataogi? Mai to annoying hoon na" she made a puppy face.
"Arre mera matlab wo nahi tha" I tried to explain.
"Agar tumhe sach me lagta hai ke mai annoyiing nahi hoon to tum mujhe sab kuch bata do gi. Warna mai samajh jaaungi ke mai aaj bhi annoyinh hi hun"
Ayyyo! This girl is as adamant as she was in her childhood.
But it's all your fault Ishita.
Why did you have to mention about your dreams?
Ab bhugto...
"Ok theel hai mai batati hun" I had no option left.
"Batao batao" she was all ears now.
"Kya bataun?"
"Khwab ke bare me. Bhai tumhare khwab me aye the?"
"Haan roz ate hain"
"Seriously roz?"
"Not exactly. But hafte me kam se kam do baar"
"Oh my god! This is unbelievable. Kab se?"
"10 saal se"
"Really??? How exciting! But wait ek minute. Tumne to kal kaha tha ke tum Bhai se nahi mili ho. Phir Bhai tumhare khwab me kaise?"
"Yahan ane se pehle tak to wo chota wala Raman hi atha tha. Ab RKB ane lage hain"
"Tumhe kaise patha ke RKB hi Raman hai?"
"Wo kal maine dekh liya tha tumhe unse bath karte hue"
"To phir saamne kyun nahi ayi? Aur gayab kahan ho gayi thi tum"
"Kyunki mai dar gayi thi. Patha nahi wo kaise react karte jab patha chalta ke Ms.Sanskari hi unki Ishita hai"
"Ms. Sanskari! Iska matlab tum hi ho jisne Bhai ki rathon ki neend aur din ka chain haraam kiya hua hai" she stared at me with open mouth.
"Dekha! Tum bhi aise react kar rahi ho. Patha nahi wo kaise react karenge" I became all grumpy.
"I am sorry but..." I looked at her to find out if she was angry at me for slapping her Bhai "I can't control anymore" she laughed out loud while holding her stomach.
"Tum has kyun rahi ho?" I was annoyed.
"I can't even imagine Bhai's face when he realizes ke jisko wo life partner banana chahte the usi ne unke moo pe tamacha maara"
I could not hear anything beyond jisko wo life partner banana chahte the.
Does that mean he still remembers me?
"Iska matlab Raman ko abhi tak yaad hai?" I asked expectantly
She suddenly became serious looking at my expressions "I don't know but I am sure unhe thoda bahut yaad hoga"
"Phir tumhe ye sab kisne bataya?"
"Mumma ne"
"Oh... To Raman mere bare me kabhi kuch nahi bolte? Kya unhe mai yaad nahi hun?" My facial muscles tightened.
"Ishita tum aise kyun pooch rahi ho? Kya tum aaj bhi Bhai se..." she did not complete but I knew what she meant.
My eyes filled without warning and I turned away to hide those tears.
She held my chin and turned me to face her "Ishita...Tumhare ansoo bata rahe hain ke tum Bhai se kitna pyar karti ho. And I am so glad ke Bhai ko itna pyar karnewala koi mila hai"
I looked into her eyes and they conveyed that she was speaking the truth.
"Oh I am so happy to have found you" she said while hugging me.
The salty tears that flowed from my eyes must have turned sweet as they now flowed as tears of joy.
I cannot explain how it felt but I was just overwhelmed.
"Now no wasting time. Just go and tell Bhai how much you love him" she commanded while breaking the hug.
"Par..." I was still apprehensive.
"Par war kuch nahi. Kuch mat socho. Bas jao aur bol do"
"Lekin mai unse milungi kaise. I mean wahan to itne sare log honge. I don't want to put either of us in an embarrassing situation"
"Ohhho...Itna concern. Haaye mai waari jawan. Chal koi nahi. Ye mushkil mai door kar deti hun. Akhir nanand kis din bhabi ke kaam ayegi"
"Kuch bhi" I said blushing at the mention of Bhabi.
"Dil me to laddoo phoot rahe hain. Andar kuch aur bahar kuch aur" she nudged me and I looked down shyly.
"Ye sharmane ka quota kuch baad keliye bhi bachake rakho bhabiji. Ab to Bhai ko aap se milana bhi to hai"
"Stop it Simmi" I bit my lower lip
"Chalo phir. Tum na ladies room ke paas rukna. Mai Bhai ko wahan kisi bahane se bhej deti hun"
"Ladies room? Raman wahan kyun ayenge? Aur kisine dekh liya to?" I was scared.
"Fikar not. You don't know Bhai is now RKB. Unhe har jagah access hai. Waise bhi is time pe ladies room me koi nahi hotha. kyunki sari ladies to sports area me boys ke abs count karne me busy hongi"
"Kuchh bhi"
"Sachhi yaar. Tum nayi ho na isliye tumhe pata nahi hai. Ab der mat karo jaldi se jao. Maine tumhare chakkar me vadon ka maza bhi nahi liya. Penalty ke taur pe kal phir se Vada lana padega mere liye"
"Pakka"
"Now just go and All the best" she pushed me while showing me a thumbs up.
I mouthed a thanks and strode towards the ladies room.
