The Wait is about to End

The Wait IS About to end

This is the story of a boy called Arush. He loved a girl named Ananya, and they were in a long distance relationship. Arush was soon going to visit Ananya and then they both will spend and share all their time with each other. Arush was living in Bangalore and Ananya lived in Chandigarh. Arush and Ananya were school lovers but their relationship started when Arush went to Bangalore for job and since then he has never get back to Chandigarh. Their relationship started in long distance and now he was coming to meet her after 3 damn years. He was so eager and happy to finally see the love of his life. They both were so excited. Arush decided to stay there only, so even to amaze Ananya, he bought a ring and had given the application for shifting in Chandigarh to which the company accepted. And now Arush was well prepared to take their relationship to a new level by marrying her and he was lost in her thoughts. The moments of past and the dream of the moments he was about to share with her. He was at the airport when he wrote this:

Finally the wait is all about to end

Time from my hands slipped like sand

I would be able to see her by my eyes

And there would be love around me and her, even in skies

The eyes which I used to glare in pictures

Will now be locked in mine and I’ll be lost in a paradise

The sweet voice I used to hear on phone

Will now be heard directly and we will sing together as one

I was so eagerly waiting for time to come

And now I am about to meet the true love

The girl who taught me so many things being so far away

But my Delilah, soon I’ll be there to make your heart sway

It seems like I have missed centuries of moments to cherish them with you

But my angel don’t worry I will make up for them and create a world new

The smile while thinking about you now widens a bit more

And my heart is pumping a bit faster and my soul is deepening its core

Once we meet I will hug you so tight

That you stay forever by my side

The bewildered me will then perish and there would dawn of a new us

And I will be gladly listening to your stories and your jesus

I will hold you, and then the time will be jealous

As we will be in each other’s arms and we both will be too zealous

Now I just close my eyes and think of what all we would do

And just one last thing in the end that I love you

He sent this Ananya on her phone; he thought that it would touch her heart. He wanted to make her happy, make her feel special.

But there were some other plans pre-decided by destiny for them. The flight in which Arush was had some technical issues and it crashed. There was no survivor.

Ananya waited lifelong but Arush never came back as he had gone too far this time. Arush didn’t come but came his news, the news that he was no more and the only last thing she could remind of him was the poem which Ananya kept as a memorial for her love.

The Beauty of Her Eyes

The Beauty of Her Eyes

Looking in your eyes I am lost by the landscape it makes

It rejuvenates my soul and let the chains break

By looking at the waterfall of purity

I sense paradise in your sweet serenity

That river of pure love which flows directly to my heart

It makes my heart fill with emotions which never go apart

You have centred the balance of my universe

And now in my heart, it’s just us

When I climb up your heart and see the jungle behind the valley

The sensations swirls up around my heart and conceal my heart into it deeply

I see a jungle full of roses and beautiful flowers

I reckon this is the pretty source of your magical powers

The way your eyes shine brighter than the stars above

It’s like watching clouds make different shapes of cute rabbits and dove

You are the queen of this valley and the princess of my heart

And here I am gathering all the love and filling my cart

Your sweet exotic essence makes me go insane

And I love it when I get the chance to dance with you in rain

Here I am writing this poem to win your heart if I could

Cause my angel today love is my immense mood

The beauty you have within your eyes, smile, heart and soul

I wish to complete your heart with mine which is my goal

With you right by my side I will halt the time

And together we will live forever with love in heart and beautiful smiles

Be happy. Stay happy. Spread happiness. Make someone smile each day, because a smile can light up the world brighter than the star. Be loved. Spread love. Love the people you care about. Share your love with them, tell them and spend some time to enjoy with them. This world is too small for hatred to ripe.

Smile Turned Sorrows

Today, I just want us all to put our hands on our chest and feel our heartbeat. Close our eyes and churn our brain muscles to think about something. Something which makes us different from others, which makes us who we are. I want us all to all to ask ourselves that are we really HUMAN? Do we live a world where our children can go safely to study? Do we live in a terror free world where any girl or woman can go out of her home without any doubt or fear? I want us all to ask ourselves that are we doing what we should do for our world or just passing comments.

Just a couple of days back, an incident took place, an incident which has wrenched every heart beating on this earth. Guys you know, in past, during wars, churches and schools were the best hiding place for women and children to keep them safe from the terror and fear, but, but today, some creatures called terrorists have even crossed that line. They have jeopardised the holy place of knowledge. They have killed the innocent ones, the ones who didn’t even know the meaning of corruption, fear, ammunition and hatred for anything. Everybody around the globe had moist eyes with tears of blood but is there anyone who is really doing anything for it? It’s time to take a stand. World wars, 9/11, 26/11, Peshawar Attack. All of these were the black days for humanity.

What did those innocent children do wrong who were studying, playing in that school. They were happy and might be pulling pranks with their friends despite knowing what was about to occur, when those umm sorry I really don’t have a word for them, for me they are not even humans. Those children must have been enjoying and filling their hearts and minds with beautiful memories when their mind was blown out of their head and their heart was shot into two. The parents who were thinking of a better future because their child was studying and some day he/she will bring honour to them. But all hopes, all smiles, all innocent eyes were shut close. Really the smallest coffins are the heaviest ones for every human to carry.

The silence of heart was broke down. The beautiful budding plant was destroyed before it could ripe. The world is now where nobody is safe. Men are fighting for their survival, women lives in a fear of walking out of their houses, and now, the children are afraid of going to school. Now what is the limit to cross for the terrorists to cross, which bar is left to break?

I say we should not bow down, rather be the hope of light and let the world again shine with truth and peace. They just create an atmosphere of terror to fill their pockets very well and to gain what they want but we can’t let that happen. This world is ours. When I was a kid, I was taught that this earth is my mother, but I think we are forgetting the meaning of values we have gained as we are growing up. Today we stand at a place of shame; we sit on a couch of hatred and lie in bed of negativity.

I don’t want to quote a great leader wrong but I would like to say something. Our Mahatma Gandhi said, “Don’t watch evil, Don’t listen evil, Don’t speak evil” Sir, I respect your thought from my heart but I think that we always do what we are told not to. I would just like to reframe your quote into, “Watch over Humanity, Listen to Prayers, Speak for the Truth, And Do Human deeds.” Our universe have never understood the meaning of no, even if I would say you not to think about your parents, just that moment there will be a picture, a glimpse of your parents in your mind.

Guys, I just want that this black day never repeats, never ever any child, woman or human is ill-treated and I don’t again cry while writing one more article over the loss of little Humanity killed.

Shadowed Love(Chapter 9)- The End

SHADOWED LOVE

Chapter 9- The End

Shalini now started to check everybody’s bag in front of them. Everybody was present there except Sumit. Every heart was beating in anxiety to know who had the guts to bring so much trouble in Shalini’s life for so many days. First was the bag of hers only, then Shweta followed by Shaurya then everybody’s bag was done but there was no sign of that phone.

Then Shalini asked everybody to empty their pockets and take out everything they had in it. There were a number of phones lying on the bench now, but no phone was the same; Shweta had found some moments back. Shalini was now totally confused. The caller was clever, really cunning. But Shalini didn’t lose hope. She was not a giver. She was thinking to find a way out of this.

Suddenly something struck her mind and she told everyone to open their wallets and phones. Shalini thought that the caller can hide the phone but he won’t take the risk of losing the SIM that must be with him. Everybody started to empty up their wallets and started to open their phones and suddenly a SIM fell down.

It was from RAHUL’S PHONE.

Everybody was shocked. The least expected guy could do something which can cause so much pain in her best friend’s life was shocking for everybody. Shalini was standing still like she had gone numb, like a thunder must have had struck her within a second leaving behind just a body of soil. Her face showed no expression, her eyes were wide and she was still, staring at her best friend, her first friend in this college. She felt like a part of her soul had died that particular moment. Everybody thought she would start crying but there was no tear to be seen on her cheeks, not even in her eyes. She was just numb. It took some moments for Shalini to believe that it could be Rahul. In the meantime, Rahul couldn’t lift his face up and every other person wanted to smash his face but they didn’t do anything before Shalini must have had not said anything. Their main focus was Shalini that time. While Shalini was lost in her memories, her memories with Rahul, how she and he became friends and how close they had gone during all the days spent together. But suddenly one more memory also strikes her, the memory when he told that he was the reason of her parent’s death.

And then was the time when Shalini came back to life from her mental coma, the mental life pause she had gone into from the shock she had got just a moment back. Shalini couldn’t utter a word other than “WHY?” She asked Rahul why he did all this. And now it was the time to hear directly from the horse’s mouth. It was the time for the shadow to come in light and show itself up, the time when the caller spoke directly face to face.

Everybody wanted to know why he did this. Everybody was curious to know and was waiting to kick him, punch him and cause him some hurt. But before that they wanted to listen to the culprit and get to know his perception, his point of view and his side. Rahul took a deep breath of silence. A very deep though. He breathed all the energy he could to face what he was trying not to. He inhaled that moment so that he could capture it and feel the gravity of the situation for what all he have had done so far to his best friend. He took a pause after his long deep breath and then finally he spoke, the moment of truth, the moment of shattering of every illusion and every facet bringing in to life. And just then Rahul spoke,

“First of all I am sorry and I apologize for every of my deed, every action of mine which has caused you trouble and brought you here, so far. But in defence I wanted to say this that I love you and I did all this just to protect you from the things which could not hurt you, but I reckon that in the end its only who have brought you the most of the pain in the past few days. Shalini the day I met you and I got to know you much better. I love exploring people and after when I met you I was just on a different height of my own. I started to be happy. But that’s not all. Two years back, yes, the accident happened and I was there when it happened. That day I had gone in a trauma. A trauma which I was never able to leave behind. But after I met you, there was a new hope, a new light in my dark world; you were like a lantern of hope swirling in the dark sea for a lost sailor. But that accident brought me a problem which nobody can cure. I am victim of multi-personality disorder. I even tried to study my own self and bring out some conclusions. I have had gone a blend of emotions for you. A fatherly protective emotion, a caring mother emotion, a lover emotion, an enemy emotion. All these emotions together made different types of Rahul which had been doing all this to protect you from everything which could because you trouble. I have been trying to control them but I am failing every time. A part of me loves you immensely and a part want to care for you and a part want to protect you from everything and keep you like an angel and the final part wants o curse myself and bring pain to me to balance the pain I have been causing you from past two years. The moment I got to know that, that day your parents died because of me, after you shared the story how they died, that moment on my inner conscience have been going under many tides of emotions, many ups and downs of situations about pros and cons and everything which is related to you. Everybody has their dreams, their expectations but all I had was to make you more happy and strong. I thought the best I could was to hide the truth from you and get more close to you so that I can help you. So that I can love you being shadowed, I can love you wearing a mask and stay happy to watch you happy and dancing with memories of joy and eternal beauty. But I have failed myself.”

This was all he said and nobody could speak anything else. Shalini just went from there asking everybody to leave him, not say him a word and from that moment she lived her life her way. She had forgotten any Rahul existed for her. And if we speak about Rahul, he still has that disorder and went to take psychiatrist daily to help himself out. Shalini just said a line which had been stonned inside her mind, heart and soul, “Help yourself first, then me. And I don’t love you, I have had told you that before but at least I glad that once you have had told me the truth.”

This was the story of Rahul, a shadow which loved a girl so immensely that he crossed some limits to love her in some ways which only some selected relationships can give.

THE END

I hope you guys have had enjoyed my novel and loved it. I am very thankful to you all for all the trust, faith and love you have for me. Thanks a lot guys. Thanks a lot everybody.

I would just like you all to please give a moment of silence for those children who had gone under so many troubles. An event which recently occurred and have changed the perception of humans, religious morons. We are Humans first and I think we should scribble it over our heart, mind and soul. It’s a very shameful patch on every human who wanted a better place to live, a terror free world and a hearty earth.

Really the smallest coffins were the heaviest to carry. I feel sorry for their parents and relatives. I just wish that the people in power do something to wipe of the terrorists and would do my share or anything possible I can do. Let’s give the terrorists an answer back and remove them from this planet.

Emotions To Express

You came in this life like an angel in disguise

Wrapped inside sunshine and those adorable eyes

Now I look up above beyond these stars and smile a little bit

Cause I have you in my life standing just by my side giving me grit

The smile you hold over your beautiful face makes me smile

And nothing seems to be left out in this life

With your glimpse in my eyes I see myself in you

And I watch you dancing like fresh pure morning dew

My heart was a nomad, going here and there

But when it met you, it found a special permanent place to stay

You filled that heart with true and pure colours to paint a new life

A life full of love and joy which now makes me invincible not naïve

Even your thought is enough to bring smile on my face and joy to my heart

And my Delilah trust me, you and I won’t be ever apart

Destiny and fate have joined hands to write a new story

A story of divine emotions grabbing your heart in the form of poetry

And I am just a mere source to share all this to an angel like you

Cause pouring my heart out like this increases the love for you

I feel like basorexia for you right now and want to hug you

To warm you up with my hearty feelings and give you some memories new

Shadowed Love(Chapter 8)- The Search

Shadowed Love

Chapter 8- The Search

Shalini picked up the phone with so many confusion, anger and doubts in her heart. She went away from the group while everybody else was busy thinking a way out of this hell.

“Yah Sumit, How are you?” Shalini asked politely.

“Hello Shalini, I am fine and the happy news is that our band has cleared the first round and now we are preparing for the second one.” Sumit replied.

“Congrats Sumit! We are waiting for you and all the very best for the next rounds.” Shalini responded.

“Thanks Shalini, but right now I called because of a concerned issue. I got a message saying ‘I love Shalini’. What is this going on? Even yesterday I had a missed call from a private unknown number. I presume that the caller is still disturbing you. But, you told me that he himself said that now it had been delayed for some time.” Sumit asked.

“Hmm… Yeah Sumit. He messaged the same text to everybody of our group and they got the call too. I don’t know what to do. Everybody is agitated and furious right now. We are thinking of a way to resolve this situation.” Shalini said.

Shalini explained everything to Sumit and they talked a while, whereas others made a plan and tried to execute it. Shweta was a clever girl and she made some assumptions according to the data everybody had and analysed it got to some results. She was sure of one thing that the caller was one of their group members as how could he have all the numbers together. She thought that confronting him now, was useless as he has been hiding this thing from a long time so he won’t show up right now too. She thought about making him scare so, Shweta told this strategy to Shalini. She had to keep it highly confidential. So she didn’t put her trust onto anybody else rather only Shalini and told her everything. Shalini agreed to it while she had a counter plan already set in her mind which she and Sumit discussed on the phone.

Shweta had spread the rumour that Shalini was going to Police to report about this situation and then they will take the proper measures. Meanwhile, Shweta was told about the plan Shalini made, and to make sure of everything so that they could catch the culprit without pulling any outsider into the act.

Shalini was going to Police station but, before that she turned to say goodbye with the urge to see everybody’s face, so that she could see a frown on culprit’s face and make some kind of assumption. But she couldn’t see anything. She herself was in a dilemma as she was about to be stabbed by someone she knew and called him a friend one day. She was sad inside but to accompany her Devika shouted and said that she wanted to come with her.

Devika and Shalini left while Shweta was checking everybody’s bags and phones very smartly without letting anybody notice. She was stunned to find something in Shalini’s bag. It was a Dual SIM phone whereas she always carries an IPhone which was right now with her. She thought the caller must have kept it in her bag so that he may be safe. But Shweta had got the main evidence of the scene. She opened the call log and she could see only Shalini’s number. Shweta was smart so she checked every number in the list to find out which number was missing and she could spot the Caller. But, to her surprise the caller had saved every number with names. There was no member of the group whose number wasn’t saved on that list. But, she was sure the caller had to be among their group only.

She called Shalini and conveyed her issues and told the news they had accomplished by Shalini’s plan. Shalini told her to stay near the bag and put the phone back in the bag as the caller might be coming back to take the phone and play his cards but she has to stay alert and watch for the caller. He has to be someone among Rohan, Shaurya and Rahul.

Shweta did what she was told. Meanwhile, Devika and Shalini returned to the college and told everybody that the police will be coming shortly. Shalini told everything and shared all the things she, Shweta and Sumit discussed with Devika to which she agreed.

But, when they got back, Shalini was welcomed with news which could confirm the caller and she took a deep breath to end the creepy game and listen to that caller face to face. Shweta came and Shalini that news which was that the phone was gone from Shalini's bag. It might have gone when Shweta went with some work she suddenly got. But now they wanted to check everybody directly and this time Shalini was determined about it. So, they started to search everybody's bag and phones in front of them unknowing of the fact of who the caller was.

The Beauty and The Beast

Beauty and Beast

We all have read the story of beauty and the beast but here there are some minute changes. This is the story of a beauty who falls for a beast but the beast is determined her to send her back. Both have their own perceptions, their own thinking. Both of them recites a poem full of their emotions for each other.

Beauty-

The day I met you, my life changed

My stars into your direction are now arranged

I have lost my senses to fall for you

And I don’t know how and when it happened but it seems true

Even the lord above knows this feeling is pure

Cause I love you for which I’m sure

Just once watch into my eyes

And unwrap the truth from your lies

My heart has seen the real you from your reflections

When you were trying to steal my heart from the demons

You won it that day saving me from your inner conscience

And your heart is skipping some beats for who I live

The pain inside your heart is from caring for me

Just hold me in your arms and complete our story

I want to spend this life walking in with you by my side

And I am sure I will wipe off your negative tides

I just want you to know that you are my safest place to hide

Despite you are a beast, I know you always try to make me smile

Beast-

Don’t make these feelings for me, as I am a curse

I am no superhero, rather a vampire’s thirst

All I tried was to keep you safe from me

Cause I know I will ruin all your destiny

Just go away from here and leave me alone

As with your love and trust, I am now done

You don’t know anything about me

You are befooled under this love thing

I am monster who will kill you, if you would stay

So just get the hell out of here and live your again

Turn your back on me and never show me your face

Cause my heart is darkness, there’s no place

I can’t love you as I a carnival of evil and rust

Just don’t call it love, you have just met me, it’s lust

Bring back your senses and run away

I am hades of hell, no paradise in which your heart would sway

Shadowed Love(Chapter 7)- What's Going On

SHADOWED LOVE

Chapter 7-What’s Going On

“Ok. I can understand your situation, but there is something more I want to say. It’s regarding your friends. Just beware of someone called......... The caller spoke this and then there was silence. Shalini was thinking and trying to predict what was he about to say. She was surfing on her thoughts. She was waiting but soon the call was off. The caller had it cut and gone leaving Shalini in suspense.

Shalini was lost in thoughts. She was thinking about her parents and how they were, how she spent time with them. It was now all gone. Every this was now in her heart and her mind. Somebody just added salt to her wounds and had left her in sorrow. She started to cry. Finally the strong, independent Shalini was now broken from inside, she needed those warm hugs, those conforming smiles from her parents. She needed someone by her side but all she had were non-living things which could not hug her back. She hugged her teddy bear but that also didn’t help her to make her feel better, and she slept crying inside her heart. She was cold. Her heart was heavy and sank with her sleep.

The next morning Shalini was sad because the memories had been striking again and again. She managed to fake a smile though. She went to her college not knowing about what had happened the last night with everybody.

Shalini met everybody and told them that yesterday she talked to the caller and got to know something from him which was not supposed to be known by him. She told everyone what had happened that day when her parents died. She was broken inside but she didn’t let that show anybody. Everybody started to give her condolence and sympathy but she denied it and asked everybody’s help to finally get rid of out of maniac. She was seriously fed up of everything he had been doing and now the fact he told has crossed all the limits.

Just when she asked everybody for help, Devika spoke, “Shalini, Umm… I also got the call from the caller and he told me to be aware and take care of you.”

I asked him again and again who the hell he is and what the hell was going and when would he be ending it! But he didn’t give any response. I was tensed about it how to tell but now when you have told what he has done, I will help you in any case possible.

Shalini was confused and now the game of this shadowed guy has been gone on a new and higher level. He was now targeting her friends and calling them rather than coming in light himself and showing and confronting every damn thing. Shalini was filling with anger and she now could do anything to unmask this guy was a pain in their life since few days. While she was thinking a way to find who this guy is, suddenly Rahul said he also got the call after 12 in the night and then everybody joined with Devika and Rahul. Everybody in the group was getting calls except one.

Sumit was away from everybody. He was in Mumbai unknown of whatever was going on in Delhi here. He was auditioning his band was working very hard. Meanwhile in Delhi everybody was now angry and frustrated on this guy. They wanted to end it. But they couldn’t fathom any solution to the maze.

Shaurya suggested reporting it to police but Shalini didn’t want it. She told it to be the final and the last option if nothing happens. Others suggested different ways but no idea was helping them. They thought and discussed it over. Suddenly, when everybody was discussing how to get rid this guy, they got a message from the private number. It read as “I Love Shalini.”

Nothing else was written. Everybody’s phone beeped and the message was same on everybody’s screen.

Now the rage between all was going high. Everybody was irritated, frustrated, agitated and annoyed. Just then a call came from Sumit.

The Needy Needs Us

The Needy Needs Us

Sometimes I wonder, I wonder about our society, the place where we all live. I wonder about all ups and downs, the bright and the dark spots on our society’s face. I think about people who are too rich and even about people with nothing around them. We just sit in our chairs with a cup of tea or coffee and start commenting about the mismanagement and then try to give suggestions while reading the newspaper or watching any news channel. People these days are concerned about the formation of government, but I think we should first focus on lifting up our society. Selecting a representative who is elected by us just only won’t bring our nation to higher levels. Just think about those who need, the basic need of food, shelter and clothing. We talk about young minds, warm blood which can change the fate of our nation. But are we watching what we are crossing in our day to day life? I think no!

Just think of something. We people love the rains. But did we ever imagine how difficult is to live for a person in rainy season who don’t have a house. These poor people who live on roads, under bridges might be cursing god to add up to their problems, yet they manage a smile over their face. We people love winters. We want to have a walk with our loved ones late in the night while talking, having fun with cool breeze swirling side by side but for those poor ones, did we ever think about them? They can’t afford a blanket or a warm quilt so they shiver all night murmuring and praying to god for a source of heat, either be it a warm blanket or a bonfire. Some things which are so exquisite or beautiful for us, are nightmare for them, and yet they never complain, they just accept their life thinking it as their fate or destiny.

If we all feed a needy once a week, what happiness and change we could bring to this world. If only making someone smile could be our motive, then what achievement we could nurture. It’s not about doing or trying to bring the big and huge changes so suddenly, but it’s about the small things which can light up a shepherd’s home. The greatest joy, is bringing a smile on anybody’s face. Guys I just want that we understand this fact and try to help our society so that we can lift up a wounded and paralysed society and act as medicines and hope to make our society walk on its legs again.

I wrote a poem to end this up.

Sometimes when i am wandering on these streets
I find some unlucky ones trying to live in this society's heat
A very depressing gush swirls inside my heat
Can this dark spot on our humanity be ever apart
These people are so helpless yet they manage to have a smile
And we, who have everything, are sad after conquering so many miles
I wish if everybody could do something for them
They don’t care about good or bad if they can feed their family well
These poor children live their lives to its fullest without any tension
And all their parents worry is about how to get shelter from this rain
This poverty, it’s a shame on us and our society
That we are too poor to help them and revive some life
We crave to achieve a lot in this world
But still they try to fight with that succumb
The small things we can do for them is nothing
But for them it may be heaven in disguise
Bringing smile over a sad face cause the best happiness
And try it once to feed a needy and give them the time of their life

Shadowed Love(Chapter 6)- The Talk

SHADOWED LOVE

Chapter 6- The Talk 

Shalini was afraid of picking up the call yet she wanted to know what he might have to say this time. She summoned some guts and then picked the bloody phone up. She was totally confused and unknown of the fact, what the caller had to speak and talk about this time around.

“Hello, why are you still calling me again and again? What is it you want from me?” Shalini questioned.

There was a long pause. Shalini was waiting for the caller to speak. She wanted him to speak something. She was fed up now with all the games he had been playing. If he was not going to speak anything Shalini was determined to cut the call and so did she do.

The caller called again and this time Shalini was angry, she was furious to know everything, desperate to end the game and just bring herself back to normal. She picked it up and just after she did, she said “If you wish to speak anything, then, just say it otherwise I have my ways to deal with you nincompoop and moron. You have brought out the hell out of me by all of your games and now it’s going too far with you just enjoying watching me go through hell.”

To her surprise the caller spoke. But if he would not have spoken anything, the pain and anger must have not been increased for Shalini.

“Shalini, do you remember what date today is! It’s 16 of December and today I want to confess something. Something which has brought all the changes in me, changes about which you are still unaware of. I know it’s hurtful to you to live this way, alone and in a state of orphaned. Shalini, I am no villain of your life trying to enjoy watching you in bad situations and bring out the fun for me. I am just a puppet of time and life created by my own mistakes, umm... Not mistakes I shall say just one mistake. THAT ONE BIG HUGE MISTAKE. I am sorry Shalini for everything I have brought in your life. But, trust me; I am doing all this just to make up for my mistakes.” The caller spoke.

Shalini was now in despair. The date reminded her of her parents. This was the date when her parents had died in that car accident. Surely, she felt a vibe of sorrow and sadness flowing through her. Her skin was now cold and her heart was heavy with all the memories of past and moreover they started to haunt her, started to bring her down again. She tried not to sob but she couldn’t control and a  drop of tear fell down her right cheek. She was trying to conceal her negative emotions into the lock which was now open because of this idiot and she listened to him in confusion about how the hell could he know about her so much, so deep and so well.

“I want to confess that three years back that accident, in which your parents died, happened because of me. Shalini, I know you don’t know me. Well it’s better for you not to know my name as you know me as a very good friend which I have already told you before. All this I am doing is for your safety. I want to keep you safe. I am trying to amend my mistake by taking care of the one for whom they lived. That day I was driving very rough because I had a race to finish but I hit them by mistake. Please trust me, it was purely a mistake and I reckon I have had enough after that in my life to balance for the pain I got to watch a couple die just because of me. Shalini I know I am not worthy for any excuse or any apologize but all I want and am trying is to keep you safe and happy. Please understand me.” The caller said.

Shalini could sense his voice was deep and it seemed he was sobbing. She was angry on him, obviously she was. But she could understand him as what happened has been done; now she could do nothing to bring back what she had lost. She wanted to know everything about this guy, this man was completely now mysterious because he was trying to protect her and trying to keep her happy but just because of this moron, she had lost her most valuable asset of life.

“Umm… I can understand you but how will I be able to forgive you for what you have done, because of which I am going through many things which only someone like me can understand. I don’t know how to react to this confession but at least I want to know your name if you’re my so good friend then show yourself, stop being a shadow, stop being a coward and show yourself. I won’t tell any elder for sure about what you have done that day, I will think it of as an accident and try to move on but at least confront me and have the guts to say on face.” Shalini said with tears in her eyes.

“I know you are searching for me day and night, and you are so much tensed and desperate to know who I am. But, sorry I can’t show myself to you. It’s not the time yet to show and face you. I know I am shadowed right now, but everything I am doing is for your own safety. I am happy for the decisions you made yesterday regarding Sumit and how your friendship has progressed with Devika. I am glad about every change you have brought in yourself; you are now independent and strong. But I am really sorry for the pathetic thing I have done. I can’t stop cursing myself for this. I have punished myself a lot in many ways for that thing.” The caller said.

“Hmm… please stop being sorry because it digs down the pain I am trying to bury. And just one more thing, I can take care of myself so stop calling me, this makes me feel like killing you and by what you have told me just few moments back, you can reckon the amount of hatred I have for you at this present.” Shalini said.

“Ok. I can understand your situation, but there is something more I want to say. It’s regarding your friends. Just beware of someone called.........

SHADOWED LOVE

Chapter 5- Time Came Too Early

Devika was still thinking, rather trying to make a decision between two of the paths she had to decide to walk over. In the meantime Shalini started to have some wrong vibes about Devika as she was taking too long to answer. She presumed rather thought that Devika knew something, something or a lot of things about the caller or the calls. She even started to wonder that Devika was really jealous of her because if she would have considered Shalini a friend, she would have told what she is thinking, yesterday or the day she told everyone about the blank calls. Still after all her motive was to know the truth so she kept waiting for Devika to speak something.

After thinking and making up her mind, Devika finally spoke.

“Look Shalini, I wanted to tell everybody and especially you about it three months earlier only but that time I thought silence would be better, so I didn’t tell anybody about it. Please don’t make a wrong impression of me or Rahul here.” Devika said.

Shalini was now totally confused. Rahul and Devika and three months. Like, what might happene three months back because Shalini was getting these calls from just three days, what is this happening and what does it have to take with Devika and Rahul and what did happen three months back. Shalini was constantly thinking over and over while Devika continued to speak.

“Shalini three months back Rahul came up to me and told me that he like you a lot and wanted to make you his girlfriend which really made me angry because I wanted to be with Rahul and that guy was after you. The thing that every guy I use to like chased you was making me furious but that time I just stood up and unwrapped my inner conscience and said all I was thinking and wanted to tell Rahul and since then I and he are together.” Devika spoke.

Shalini was now getting some of the things but she didn’t get the thing that how it is connected to the calls she had been having since three days. Shalini now understood Devika and her behaviour for Shalini. Shalini was now getting closer to Devika but it was just Shalini’s feeling getting a warm response from her. She still had and wanted to mend the small things between them. Just as she was thinking all this, she had grown a smile over her face from a frown and Devika was still speaking.

“The next day Rahul and I started our relationship, everything had been perfect and now he even is so much concerned about the calls you are getting. Sometimes he blames himself for these calls. And you won’t believe why! The next day we started our relationship, Rahul got a private number from his dad so that our relationship could stay just between him and me but as you know the other one couldn’t contact the holder of private number so we just cut the SIM into two pieces and that’s all I know Shalini. I was never jealous of you; I just wanted to be like you- strong, independent and so beautiful from heart.” Devika completed.

“Hmmm… I trust you Devika and confronting you like this have brought me closer to you, now I understand the reason why you behave all like that to me but now don’t worry, I know you also might have understand that it’s not my fault being chased after boys. But right now my main concern is to know the truth about the calls or at least the caller” Shalini said.

Shalini congratulated Devika about her relationship and Devika and she had got a bit closer than before. Before departing from there she had brought ease to Devika’s heart and conscience and moreover she got to know the doors she has not to bang again to confront.

Shalini was now facing two kinds of emotions. One was happiness that she got closer to Devika and the fact that Devika wasn’t the one and about her relationship, and the other emotion was of confusion, anxiety and fear about not having any information about the caller or the private number.

Before going back to her home, she even confirmed about the SIM being destroyed by Rahul and congratulated him and went to her home.

Shalini was now at her house, in her room. She had changed her clothes, completed all her college’s assignments and was now all set to go to sleep. She had just lied on her bed, that she started to think about the caller and tried to examine the small things she might be missing. She was thinking and thinking and no result was coming out. Her head was heavy with thoughts of past and the things which were now not disturbing her but made her anxious to know them as soon as possible so that those things may not haunt her again ever in her life. She was still searching the solution or any key to open up the lock despite of knowing the fact or shock she was just about to get.

As soon as the clock struck 12 and she gave up thinking and making things as déjà vu, her phone rang.

TRING! TRING! TRING! TRING!

It was the private number. Shalini was frightened to see that it was that PRIVATE NUMBER again. Her body had gone numb. Only one thing came into her mind now, had the time come so early? She just did two good things in her life and now the call came again. She started to think about what might have she done which went wrong, was it the decision she made with Sumit or was it confronting Devika? She was totally confused and frightened. She didn’t want to pick up the call but it was the second ring she was getting and she had to pick it after all. So, she picked it up with fear while trying to summon up some positive energy despite knowing what was going to happen.
