#6332 A FEEL GOOD STORY Yaar bus ek last peg Nai re yaar bahut ho gaya aaj k liye. Ab Aur nahi Dekh ye tera ek and mera ek, bus fir khatam, Saurav my best buddy and also my Room mate were celebrating his birthday. Pakka na? I am not drinking any after this. I got an interview tomorrow and i dont want to be late. I tried to seemed confident even after 7 pegs of whiskey. Haan yaar bus this is the last one Saurav offered me the glass as he completed the sentence. Next Day The hangover was hurting a lot. I somehow managed to walk upto the kitchen and made myself a strong coffee to counter the effects of hangover. The head felt bit light after the first sip of the coffee. I was relaxed now and glanced to see what time it was. Shit! Saurav.... Wake up its 9:10 am. My interview is at 10. I kicked him as i was completing my sentence. I got a quick shower and put on my best formals for the interview. I started reciting the phrases which i had prepared specially for this interview looking at the mirror as i was putting a knot into my tie. I put all my files and bio-data into my bag and started cross checking if i was leaving any thing back. Bijay Bhava Chotu!! Get me a can of beer when you return. You have my blessings so there isnt any chance the company wont recruit you Saurav yelled from the other room as i opened the door to leave. I raced over the fly over to get on the bus from the other side. I was constantly cursing myself for having the last peg yesterday. This was a job I had been preparing since a long time and this job meant a lot to me. I was making plans of how to bust Saurav in case i didnt get the job. But destiny seemed to have something else in my account that day. I could sense it was something different on that day, the roads seemed much quieter and the breeze that followed seemed to be much more pleasant. The hot august city weather seemed to have lost all its heat that day. It was just then when i saw a girl in white top and a blue jeans holding her umbrella in one hand and a bag on the other. The hairs were tied in a pony and a few hairs above her forehead just managed to swing by her cheeks with every breeze. She was just perfect. How could any one be such perfect? Akash beta!! Tu to gaya. The inner me concluded. I had to cross the road to get to my bus stop. I walked across the road and Gosh I just could not keep my eyes off her. The more I tried concerntrating on something other the more my eyes wanted a peek of her. I must have stole 1000 glances of her within that little span of time. The fever of interview just vanished into the city air. She was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen in my life and looking at her was one thing i would never seem to get tired of. A bus rushed into our stop and the girl got in. For a brief moment i thought it was the end of my NOT EVEN STARTED Love Story until the condutor shouted Dighlipukhri, Guwahati Club, Shilpukhuri, Chandmari...... Chandmari. Thats it, thats where i am headed. With a new energy and belief i got into the bus. I stood in the aisle and i could see my perfect girl sitting in the second row and listening to music. I had never imagined the 20 mins of journey to end so soon and i had to get of the bus. All I could do now was to leave everything in the hands of destiny and decide for me. But something was special about that day because everything seemed to be happening in my favour. I knew that when i saw my perfect girl getting down in the same stop as mine. Gosh, what were the cupids upto today? Were we destined to be together? Series of questions just flooded my head and confuse me more than before. I followed her and found her entering a computer center. Aha! Infotech Computer Center, huh? So she works here. I somehow tried to derive conclusions as i headed for my interview. Post Interview Congratulations Akash!! We expect you to handle the entire sales operation of Lower Assam. the interviewer smilingly concluded. Sure I will, Sir. I hope to try my best to meet your expectations. I replied shaking hands with thd interviewers. Few hours later Pakad apna can. i tossed a Tuborg can towards Saurav. Lag gya job Chotu ka i told Saurav with excitement in my voice. Next day My perfect girl was yet there again waiting for her bus. I would wait the whole day for a new morning starting with her. Those 20 mins of bus ride became the favorite part of the day. This became my regular routine until one day. Hi, i am Piya, Piya Sharma my perfect girl said smilingly. Akash.... Akash Singh i fumbled while answering her. The ice had been broken and there was no looking back now. We talked, laughed, spent time with each other. It was simply perfect, it just felt great. A month later (30.10.2008) The day started as usual. Me and Piya boarded the bus and got off at the same bus stop. But rarely did i knew it was going to be one of the worst nightmare come true that day. There were series of bomb blast across the entire city. The day stopped completly, it was just cries and the sirens of the ambulance that i could hear. I was granted leave for that day. I immediately rushed towards Infotech Computer Center to make sure nothing happned to Piya. Hi i interupted the receptionist as she was attending the phone calls. Yes Sir, How may i help you? the receptionist replied. Piya, Piya Sharma. Could you please call her? But Sir she left a while ago. She wasnt feeling well so she left What? When? And where? i was furious Panbazar, for her home. About 30 mins ago I could feel a strange chillness growing inside me. Panbazar was one of the affected areas. I hurried myself to Panbazar but i could find no means of transport. Somehow after an hour and a half i finally managed to reach panbazar. I tried searching Piya everywhere but just could not find her. I could now no longer hold back my tears. Tears ran down my cheek as weird thoughts started filling my head. The next day I went to the bus stop again in a hope to find Piya but she didnt show up. I waited just to get a short glimpse of her but luck wasnt on my side that day. A week later I was hurt, frustrated and longed for one chance to tell Piya of how hard it has been since the last 7 days. It was just then when i noticed a pink umbrella, a girl was holding it. The umbrella seemed familiar, it was the same umbrella i noticed 3 months back. Piya.... Yes i found her. i quickly crossed the road and got into the stop. Papa, he wouldnt allow me to come all these days. I tried to, trust me Akash but Papa wanted me to come after things settled down, Piya read my worried face Hey hey Piya, you neednt be sorry. You are safe and thats all that matters to me. i consoled Piya. She let out a smile hearing my words. It was the smile that i was waiting for all this time. It just took away all the worries of the past 7 days. Piya? Hmm... Whats it Akash? I need to tell you some thing i said. Go on.... Piya replied giving me a curious look. Piya, the last 7 days were the hardest part of my life. Those were the moments where i thought i had lost you and you were never goona return. Every night i would wish for a second chance and finally i guess today my wish has been granted and i wont let this go. So Ms. Piya Sharma, would u please make me the happiest person on this planet and let me into your heart? i finally popped the question geting into my one knee. Piyas eyes were all moist. She just managed to nod her head up and down. It was a yes, i had never been such happy in my life before. She was my most prized posession and i wont let go off her ever. I stood up and just hugged Piya. She seemed to hug me much more tighter. Waise those lines, i never heared them earlier. Kaunse movie ka h btana? :p Piya teased me. Yaar those were orginal lines i replied. Present day Kajal, beta go to sleep now. Dont you wanna attend your classes tomorrow? Piya opened the door and interrupted a daughter and dad conversation. And hello mister, How many times are you goona tell your ladli the same story? Piya interrogated me with a raised eyebrow. Kajal insisted for the story, so i had to tell her i replied Piya. Yeah mommy, i asked dad to repeat me the story. Its my all time favorite. The little girl defended her father. Okay thats fine but now you need to sleep. You have your school tomorrow. And Akash you have your office too Piya replied both of us. Your mom is correct little princess. Lets continue some other day. Okay? I tried convincing Kajal Okay fine. Good night dad, good night Mom Good night Beta, i leaned forward and kissed Kajals forehead. Written By: Manabendra Sen
