Ek chotti si love story....NOT

Hello guys. Finally…… :)
Its been like the longest time that I have written and now a days I have started doubting my writing abilities. Its really sad that in spite of having at least a few people that follow what I write, I never take the pains to do so. Anyways, today I am gonna narrate a story, a very long story which I have made it short, but if I get good response, I would want to write a whole book on it. This is just a gist of it. Let’s see how good I bring across the story to you guys.

Since childhood, we have read thoughts and proverbs of great writers. It sounds so good when you read those. Every morning in the school, I used to read the thought of the day and felt that one could never be true. It just words and those would be rather tough to put into actions. But I have seen one come true, and which one was that???? For that you would have to read the whole story.

And yeah it is a love story, so lets name the gal Kareena and lets name the guy Shahid. I would keep adding characters as the story progresses. I have used such name to make it a lil bit funny and you could picture a proper scene in your head while you read this.

Dec 1998;
Shahid and Kareena used to live in the same building since childhood. Both of them had a crush on each other, they also don’t remember since when. Kareena used to wish, whenever she pressed the elevator button, that she would meet Shahid in the elevator and both of them could spend a few floors together, without saying anything. Just smiling. Shahid was also not less. He used to wait for Kareena, sitting in his balcony and as soon as he would see her, he would turn on the stereo system inside the room and sit with a guitar in his hand, pretending to play one. Such a beautiful time it is, when we are kids and we think we are in love and we try our best to impress the other person. So such sweet cute and kiddish gestures continued for a couple of years, until they reached their late teenage. It was probably the mid of 2001 when Shahid gathered all the courage he had, to ask out Kareena. Ask out Kareena for what? To ride her to the tuitions on the new bike he had bought J… but finally both of them confessed their love and attraction for each other and here starts one of the longest love stories that I have ever known.

The first couple of years were amazing. The other person was the world for them. If you had seen them, you would have wondered that are there any other people who are more in love with each other than both of them. They used to go for movies, asked for corner seats and hold hands while watching movies. They used to sit on the same side of the table when they went out to eat. They shared the same bottle, with two straws in it. And when the guy was asked to have the last sip, he said I don’t need need this, I already have you. They used to celebrate monthly anniversaryJ. Things like these continued and within a blink of an eye, they were celebrating their sixth annual anniversary. J Kareena had already graduated from school and she was about to leave for London for her higher studies. This was a very emotional and touchy moment for both of them. Never in their lives, there hadn’t been a time where they would not see other for a long period of time. It was not at all easy for them to part. But they had to. They had no other option.

A couple of days before Kareena was supposed to leave for London, both of them sat on the rocks by the sea, their sights stretching out through the horizons, sitting hand n hand, speechless. The silence spoke everything. They could feel the presence of each other. They could imagine their life complete with each other. They decided that they would get engaged once Kareena finished her studies. Both the families also knew about their relationship. It wasn’t a secret anymore. Kareena’s brother, Ranbir, was also Shahid’s friend by now and Kareena’s mom, lets just call her Maa also knew Shahid very well and they were more like friends.

Just when everything seems to be going right, something unexpected happens. I know you guys also might be sensing it, cuz everything was going so smooth, and that is not possible. There has to be hurdles, there has to be challenges. A few months after she came here, Shahid started acting weird. He started checking her mails, calls, etc. From the perfect boyfriend anyone could have, he started being over possessive and dominant, which was too much for Kareena to handle. Being away from home, from Maa, from friends added to the agony of Kareena, and it was not too late before the bubble busted and they decided to walk their own paths. It was heart breaking, for both of them. How could such a beautiful relation like that come to such an abrupt end? But it was the end and both of them had to realize it. Kareena was a lil slow in getting used to the fact that she was single again, after seven long years. It took her time, it took her courage, it took her tears and took her a lot of strength to get back up and now walk alone with no one around.

Let’s fast forward almost a year and half now. Life again got back to normal for both of them. Kareena studied in London and was working, made new friends, met new people. Shahid was in India, doing his own work. Both of them were on their ways. But the thought still bothered Kareena. She would have nightmares. She would wake up in the middle of the night. Things were not as easy as it would seem. On the other side of the globe, Shahid was still talking to Ranbir and also made it a point to regularly visit Maa. This was frustrating Kareena to the core, as both of them had stopped being in touch through any form, may it be calls, mails or texts.

But however good or bad the situation is, it changes. And for Kareena it was the same. On this very important stage of life, where she was done studying and wedding was on the cards, she met this guy in London called Saif. Both of them clicked instantly. It didn’t take them long to get acquainted to each other. They already knew each other from before, but they personally got to know each other in the summer of 2009. And it wasn’t even a couple of months that they were into a relationship and were thinking about engagement and wedding etc etc. Love was in the air again, the bells were ringing, the birds were chirping. It was one relationship that everyone including Kareena was excited about. But what was Shahid doing back in India. Was he dating someone?? Was he still waiting for Kareena?? No one knew his where abouts.

Kareena’s friend Abhisek always used to tell her that don’t you think this is going way too fast. He always said that the faster you rise, the more quickly you fall. And it was just a matter of time that it had to happen. Kareena left London to go back to Maa and Saif started showing his true colors. Why did this happen to her?? In both the times, why did the guys turn out to be like this as soon as distance came into the relationship? Kareena was not as broke as one would have thought after that. She was ok. May be cuz it wasn’t a long time that they were dating and good that it happened quickly.

She went back home, to the same building where Shahid lived. She wished not to confront him, trying to avoid. But one fine day, they landed up together in the elevator. The same scene was replayed, which Kareena always hoped would happen about 10 years ago. Both of them in the elevator, but no one uttered a word. It was weird. And as every Hindi movie, where mom plays a vital role, so did Maa play an important role here. She played the cupid. She told her certain things which Kareena never knew. Some stuff she absolutely had no idea of. Right after Kareena had left for London, Shahid saw that in this far away land, she was doing good, trying to focus on her career and so he did not wanna be a botheration in that. That was the reason he started acting weird and different, so that they could part off and she could not be constrained by the relationship and could strive for her dreams. That was something that she never imagined and could never think of. Shahid had a big heart. And this is what got both of them back together.

Today both of them are happy together. One of the longest love stories is on the tracks again, just that there was some interruption in between. But I am damn sure that after a hurdle like this, it will make the relationship more strong. Shahid took a chance, a very big risk. He could have easily lost her, had Saif known how to behave. This was not worth a chance to be taken. You don’t meet people daily who you fall in love with. He believed in the thought “If you love someone, let her free, if she comes back she was yours, else she never was”. And this did turn out to be true.

Present scenario:
Kareena – “I am very happy that I made the decision of coming back home. Although I miss London and my friend Tanaaz J, I am glad that Shahid is with me today. But this is not what Shahid does. Why does he always have to be like Shahrukh?”

Shahid- “ Maine Dance pe Chance maara, cuz Jab we met, to main uspe Fida ho gaya tha aur mujhe pata tha hum dono ka Vivah hone wala hai… yeh Ishq Vishq bhi bade Kaminey type ki cheez hai.. but at he end Mauja hi Mauja”

Saif-“Was I ever a part of it?? Chalo koi na, love aaj kal mein yeh sab chalta rehta hai. But real life mein aisa nahi hone wala ;)”

Ranbir- “Yeh hai Ajab prem ki gazab kahani, I have already woken up. But where is my Deepika?”

Maa-“Aakhir Maa ki mamta hi kaam aayi (sob sob), main to pehle se kehti thi key eh ladka heera hai heera, par meri sunta hi kaun hai. Beti chali gayi videsh, aur beta poore din chocolate boy bana ghoomta rehta hai, ab aap hi batao ek maa kya kare J”

Abhisek-“Bhai meri to Aish ho gayi, Adios readers, if this made u smile please drop a comment. Love you guys”
