* BORN TO LOVE YOU * chapter 1... ‘Hey Didi! Listen to this!’ He brought his guitar as he pushed Tanushree, his sister aside on the sofa. ‘Not now bhai! I have this important presentation to be completed. Dad will kill me if I don’t send it across in an hour.’ She resisted as she got engrossed with her laptop. ‘Tanushree Sharma!’ He bawled at her to get her attention. ‘What?’ ‘I wrote this song.’ ‘I said no!’ But he was not to give in. He reached for her laptop and pulled down the lid. ‘Tanmay! What you’re doing? I will call dad now!’ She warned him and opened her laptop again. ‘As if I fear him!’ ‘Oh really?? Dad!!!’ She shouted at top her voice. ‘Tanmay is not letting me work.’ May be he never agrees but he fears his dad with life, he almost jumped over the sofa and hid behind the cupboard. ‘My sweet little brother! Don’t you know? Dad is out to Kolkatta for a week.’ ‘Phew!’ He came outside. ‘Grow up! Tanmay! You’re 25 now.’ ‘Didi! Shut up!’ He punched her softly and went on to hug her tightly. ‘Is your presentation more important than your bro? Bolo.’ ‘Stop! Your this drama.’ ‘Don’t you love me a bit? Did I tell Mom that you went to Goa last weekend with your beau?’ ‘Tanmay, stop your blackmail.’ ‘Then listen na !’ ‘Ok fine.’ She stamped her laptop down. He picked his guitar and strummed the chords. ‘Tu kya jaane, tere khwaboon ki manzil… Woh toh nahi tha, tere pyar ka sahil Tu toh wahi thi, mai kyu alag tha Janeja ye kya ho gaya… Woh mithi baatein yaad aayegi…..’ ‘Stop! Stop!’ She interrupted. ‘What?’ ‘It sucks, you call it lyrics. Yak!!’ ‘How rude? What do you understand about music?’ He argued. ‘Yes! I don’t and you should accept now that you can’t be a singer.’ ‘C’mon! Mom said that I sing good.’ ‘She is Mom right? That’s why.’ ‘Priya also said same.’ ‘She is your girlfriend, that’s why.’ ‘She is not my girlfriend, ok!’ He was miffed off. He seriously never liked his Didi teasing him by Priya’s name. She was just his friend, his best friend rather. ‘But she likes you a lot.’ ‘Even I like her a lot but that doesn’t mean that we love each other. You see Didi, love is very complicated and it just ruins everything. I and Priya are great friends because we don’t love each other.’ ‘Hmmm… So my brother doesn’t believe in love.’ ‘It’s not like that but someday I will get my girl and will love her till my last breath.’ ‘And when will that someday come?’ ‘I don’t know but I will just fall in love with her instantly and no matter what, I will never let her go away. Didi, I want to show you something.’ He ran to his room and was back in a flash with a small box in his hand. ‘What it is?’ She opened the box carefully and wow! A beautiful heart shaped golden pendant came up with diamonds embedded in it. ‘It’s so wonderful yaar! For me??’ ‘Shut up! Why would I bring it for you? Ask your Boyfriend to buy one.’ ‘Then? Priya?’ ‘Didi!!! Please… It’s for my girl whom I am yet to meet. You see, last year I went to Paris with Dad, I brought it from there. It’s actually my heart and I will give it to my girl.’ ‘And that’s romantic!’ Their sweet conversation just hit a road block as Tanushree saw her phone buzzing. Her beau had called up. ‘Bhai! Will you please excuse us?’ She said and picked up the call. ‘Ok! I will go.’ He walked off. ‘Sleep early today; I want you to be in the office tomorrow very early.’ She yelled at his back. Tanmay went to his room and called Priya, she like instantly picked his call as if she was waiting for his call. Yes! He would call her every day at 7 after her college since past 5 years. They had met on Facebook some 5 years back and had been super friends since but then they had never met each other. Perhaps, there was not even such urge in both of them to meet ever. They were rather happy with their phone calls, fb chats and skype once in a blue moon. He sang the song to her keeping is phone on loudspeaker and as usual she praised him to core, for her he was Bryan Adams. Perhaps, he was everything for her- Sachin Tendulkar, John Abhram, Einstein and even Superman. She told her that there was traditional day celebration at her college and she was uploading the pictures on Fb and wanted him to comment first. He logged in Fb and liked and commented on each every photo which was being uploaded without even looking at them. And then suddenly, something caught his attention, he scrolled back and looked carefully, there was a girl standing among a group of girls. While rest of them where cheering in jollity, she looked calm with an authentic smile. Big eyes, long curly hair down her waist and mesmerizing look just hit his mind like a comet. He gazed at her completely lost in her beauty. She was damn gorgeous. *** to be continued tomorrow... :)
