Chapter 2
“Hey Gaurav! Have you ever realized that these stars can be felt by her, twinkling in the same Way as I am Feeling it.”
“Excuse me Abhishek! Do you realize that there are 10^11 galaxies in the world and each one of them have 10^11 stars in them and out of them Milky way is the galaxy in which we are living of which sun is a star which is at the center of solar system we are living in comprising of nine planets which fluctuatingly keep on giving chances to few ambitious aspirants every now and then and on this earth are 10^8 billion of creatures of the species called Homosapiens and then about 55,000 more species of vegetation and around 12,000 species of Animals whose count also keep on debilitating because of not so perfect effort by officers in charge or sometimes over the top enthusiastic work by the discovery freakos, and if you are one hell of a Woody Allen fan who emote like a Dumbass hearing the names of Arthur C. Clarke or Carl Saegan or Steven Spielberg, then also relying on your mathematical abilities, What I can make out is the Number will be horrendously enormous for whom the stars are twinkling in the same way. Don’t you think so? Phew! You guys give me a Break and Abhi go and bring a glass of water."
“Yeah as you say so, Excuse me wait, What I am talking about? you jackass, you scoundrel, It was meany and I mean it.”
There is something which can never separate two friends is a peal of laughter over things which were never meant to laugh at but they say marriages are made in heaven and Friendship on the way from Hell to Heaven..
“Arrey Abhi sun, I will tell you about Chaos theory…………”
“Gaurav, you remember that coquettish bitch, how many days and you think she would have taken to get into bed.”
“Shefali! My goodness she was hot man. I Can Kickass the Bastard Who says You can’t Make out without a pullover in Haridwar Chill, You Just need to find out right ways to survive. Hey But there is something about Chaos theory which says…………..”
“Gaurav, I have already said sorry Do you want to Kneel down and beg for it.”
“Hey I will talk sense this time, just Five minutes.”
“4:59”
“Thank you, As chaos theory says that even a flutter from a Butterfly on one corner from the world can bring in chaos in the other corner but there’s something which ushers the greatest happiness in someone’s world when someone else in some other corner of the world just blows down those three words “I love you”.
“Haha! You know you are really one hell of a jackass.”
“Yes, I am so…………….”
“Kya yehi pyaar hain,haan yehi pyaar hain,dil tere bin kahin lagta nahin ab waqt gujarata nahin”
“This is for the 32nd time I am knowing that this was her favourite song. Anything interesting…….”
“Maybe this that it was 21st January 2003 when she first proposed me.”
“What she proposed you? How come yaar, it’s titillating my voyeuristic bones…….”
“19th January and the preparation was full on for our own community meet and for last 5 years no one had ever dared to peek a boo when she was into decorating a stage for some function. How could I have? And above all that she was always my Greek goddess and those two wisps of hair falling by side of her face giving just the glimpse of her face from above as I was standing in front of her with all those baggage’s which she was treating as cupid’s bow striking with them Perfect 10, that small bindi giving way to her beautiful nose, which I found most alluring when she saw me flirting with other girls, giving way to her childlike face which was like purity at its best, and then her eyes which I always find suggesting nothing as I could make out so many things, it’s better to act dumb.Yes,and most precisely that’s what I had done for the whole six months when we use to study together for our exams. And yes I know it’s never accidental that I got a kick on my legs when I discussing answers with Reshmi use to get engaged for few people’s too close for few people’s comforts. You mustn’t be knowing what charm Ghaghra- choli adds to Rajasthani village belle and that even on diwali nights when there is no moon to be seen you can find a few on the mother Earth and yes I had brightest of them all running for me.
“Namaste Aunty, Abhi hain”
“Abhi, he’s was right now here only but why are you looking for him?”
“Oh nothing particular”
From that corridor maybe I was looking at something which I could never dreamt of in my wildest dreams. Between those two lit Diyas I could see those strands of hair bifurcated from the middle was like holding her face around them like they were two perfect blocks of a jigsaw puzzle.Here eyes were desperately looking from everywhere to everything, and expressing desperation with streak of hope shining in between because she still knew she will sooner than later meet what she’s in pursuit of. Those well caricatured eye lashes were giving way to those two eyeball which were wobbling around and who said those puerile and honest expression didn’t reached divine proportions when they met those feline like eyes, and then god only could have sculpted those pretty lips which were somewhere in between what people call pinkish and reddish and I know none of the connoisseur of art would have dared to even smell them in fear of getting them withered.
“Ok Aunty I am going., will come again.” Looking around the House for one last time.
On the way back, she was in a jiffy, when she crossed the corridors; she stopped around to look back and the said with all her child like exuberance
“Abhi, where are you keeping yourself ?How I was looking for you all around?
“Why?”
“Ah ………………just as usual…….”
“As usual nothing specific.”
“Ah………yes…….”
“So you may go.”
“yeah,you will be coming to home na.”
“Maybe not ,is there anything specific?”
“Ah……..yes No it’s nothing like that.”
As they say In the game of Love It’s not about winning or losing but about playing or getting played and Tonight it was me who calling all those shots. Anyways as they Gentleman don’t even all those specks of tears to think about rolling over your Girl’s cheek, I acted fast and smart
“You know I could have gone to any length of distance to just have a glimpse of you looking as beautiful as you are looking today.”
And as they say sometimes it’s always silence which says things which can’t be compiled in words.
Coming Back to 21st January, It’s 11 in the night and these stars were twinkling in similar way as they are today. It was only me and her there which I always felt in her presence but today even a objectivist would have said that only.
She said to me
“Abhi can you see those stars beyond those clouds, I have always been fascinated by these clouds which seclude those stars from the intrusion of earth in its privacy.I always dreamt that someone will take me beyond these clouds where we two will also be sedcluded from this closed in the casket of Sky on the up and cloud in the bottom,roaming around following our own whim and fancy. You know I want to go there with someone who will only go with me and no one else. Will you take me there Abhi?”
“Hey Abhi ,that made me remember the fact that It’s your N.D.A results tomorrow. Hey
Jackass you will be Flying aeroplanes from tomorrow. What say will you be able to sail through?
“What do you think?’
And yet again there is something which can never separate two friends is a peal of laughter over things which were never meant to laugh at but they say marriages are made in heaven and Friendship on the way from Hell to Heaven..
