Part 2 - Close , yet so far
Hey guys m back with the part 2 of this Ts . Hope you all liked the concept.
Do read and give your responses below.
Happy reading❤
The whole journey to Nainital wasnt that blissful as she had expected.
She tried very hard to enjoy with her group and mingle well with all but then how could she enjoy when her heart mind and soul were somewhere else.
Her whole focus was on Sameer , how will she react at first when she will see him , how will he react on finding her there , will he ignore like before or will he talk , what if he had really forgotten her with time. How will she redemp herself ?.
All these thoughts didnt let her smile for once . She could only wish to make him happy for which she was going there.
Amidst all this somewhere, she wanted him to realise how much she loved him since day one . She could only think of showing her love to him but what if he is already in love with someone else?
This thought itself made her heart sad and depressed. No, she cant live without him. Over the years she had loved him with every cell of her body but had never expected anything from his side because she knew that he hated her but the other side of the coin was that he can also love anyone else.
Tears moistened her eyes as this thought dawned upon her. Taking a deep breathe , she wiped the tears
"Agar aisa hua to mai uski zindagi se chali jaugi chup chaap ...use nanaji se milake , mafi mangke aur uske family ki nazar mein uski sacchai batake mai hat jaugi uske raste se ..."
With this painful determination she slept awaiting a new day in Nainital , his city .
The next morning,
The next morning she was woken up by her friends who informed her that their destination was about to arrive.
Panting and huffing she woke up immediately and started arranging her stuffs like blanket and bottle back in her suitcase.
In less than 10 minutes, they reached Nainital.
As she climbed down the train and kept her first step on the platform , her heart started beating rapidly.
The cold chilly breeze flew across her face and hairs and she just smiled
"Ye hawa jo usko cchu ke guzri hai aaj mujhe bhi mehsoos ho rahi hai "
"Sameer mai aa gai tumhare sheher , tumse milne "
Naina said to herself and then started heading towards the cottage with her college group.
On her way out towards the bus , she started feeling uneasy because of a new jittery feeling. The same feeling which she used to have before actually meeting sameer . The feeling of his presence. Though it has been years, but then some things do fade but doesnt just go away.
As the realisation dawned upon her , she looked here and there to see if he is actually here . Her gut feeling was sure, he was definately somewhere.
close .
In that moment she just wished to go everywhere the feelings take her. In that moment she just wished to follow her heart , her sameer.
But then suddenly , as the longing grew, the feeling started fading . She couldnt feel him close now . She understood that he was gone . Her heart ached but then she was happy to be under the same sky , on the same land where he was.
"Koi baat nahi , bas kuch hi der mein sameer meri ankhon ke saamne hoga , tab tak sirf uske paas hone ke ehsaas ko hi mai mehsoos karugi ...bas kuch der aur "
With this thought she moved towards the bus along with her group.The group was in the bus which was hired by the college department.They were travelling towards the cottage where they were going to stay.Naina's batchmates were playing antakshari and when someone sang "Aate jaate" she could only remember his voice. The song he had sung when he was in school to meet munna pandit before his admissions.
After a long time , she got to know that the boy in black tshirt was sameer and immediately she could relate the situation with the same butterfly feeling.
Before even seeing him for the first time , she could sense his presence. For the first time in the shopping market when a guy had accidentally spilled his chewing gum on her long beautiful hair. It was just before this bad moment, when she had collided with a guy in a red tshirt.
Just in the middle of the road , she was as usual in her own world walking and chatting with preeti when suddenly she collided with him , she couldnt see him though she tried to turn and check but he was gone but that same happening feeling started since that day.
After that when she was in the market with preeti , just before her dupatta got torn , she actually felt him walking past her . She did try to see but couldnt.
And after that it was in the school canteen when she had sensed his presence but couldnt see his face as she had been called by lochan sir for the drama briefing.
After she returned she could hear his voice but her misfortune did last as she couldnt see him yet again. When she returned to grab her lunch box which she had forgotten , she again collided with him and it took her a few seconds to understand that special feeling.
When they actually met for the first time , in the school corridor they had collided badly but still it was a distant collision. In that moment she understood that it was sameer , it was him always .
She smiled as she closed her eyes facing towards the window to feel the cold breeze of this hill station.
"Aaj bhi hawa ka rukh tez hai, aaj bhi wahi jhoke hai par aaj uske paas hone ka ek ehsaas bhi hai jo bauhat khaas hai "
The bus conductor started the radio as the game of Antakshari ended. A familiar song of Asha parekh ji from the movie "Do badan " fell upon her ears and she could do nothing but just relate the lyrics with her own situation.
Song name- "Jab Chali Thandi hawa"
Jab chali thandi hawa, jab uthhi kaali ghata Mujhako ai jaan-e-wafa tum yaad ae
Jindagi ki daastaan, chaahe kitani ho hasin Bin tumhaare kuchh nahin
Kya maja ata sanam, aj bhule se kahi Tum bhi a jaate yahi Ye bahaaren ye fiza, dekhakar o dilaruba Jaane kya dil ko hua, tum yaad aye
Ye najaare ye sama aur fir itane jawaan Haae re ye mastiyaan Aisa lagata hai mujhe jaise tum najadik ho Is chaman se jaan-e-jaan
Sun ke pi pi ki sada, dil dhadkata hai mera Aj pahale se siwa, tum yaad aye.
"Tum to mujhe har pal yaad aaye ho sameer ....bas ab mai tumhe dekh paau...maafi maang paau...aur koi tammanna nahi meri siwaye tumhare pass hone ke "
She murmured and again closed her eyes and she could see his hair, face , his smiles, his anger filled eyes, his husky voice . Everything came infront of her eyes like a good movie .
She was enjoying the peace , the breeze with closed eyes when suddenly her eyes opened instantly .
"Was he here?"
She thought as she could feel him again
Like a lost puppy she blinked her eyes and looked outside on the road . Her eyes travelled here and there desperate to see him but to her misfortune there was no one .
"Sameer aas paas hi hai...mai jaanti hoon ..mehsoos kar sakti hoon use...Sameer ! kaha ho tum "
she closed her eyes again as it had turned moist.
She removed the piece of paper from her wallet and read the address again .
How can a small piece of paper give so much solace and happiness ?
She clutched the paper and then the rest of the time went by seeing outside, by chitchatting with her friends but mostly thinking about him.
"Kaisa dikhta hoga wo ab? kya usne baal katwae hoge yaa aaj bhi wahi Salmaan khan jaisa look hoga uska..kya wo abhi bhi utna hi patla hoga ya body bana li hogi usne ....kya uske chehre mei abhi wahi masoomiyat hogi?"
She kept on thinking about his appearance afterall she was going to see him after four long years.
Soon the bus stopped infront of their cottage where the group was going to stay.
The teachers gave the respective room keys to them and asked them to rest till evening as they had planned sightseeing in that hour.
Naina was sharing her room with Smitha who after freshening up went to sleep but Naina had other plans. She slowly sneaked out of the room with her wallet which had that piece of paper , the most precious treasure of her life .
Outside the cottage, she stood panting as moving out after escaping the crowd wasnt as easy job. Noone actually knew the exact reason of her coming on this trip . It was a secret between Naina Munna pandit and preeti only.
She took a deep breathe and then stood confused.
"Haash ! bahar to nikal aayi par ab is address ke bare mein kaise jaan paugi "
she asked herself and suddenly her eyes fell upon the watchman.
"Inse puchke dekhu...shayad koi help mil jaaye"
With this thought she moved towards him.
"Wo uncle ji" she called him out.
"Ha bitiya kaho kya kaam hai?" the watchman seemed humble so she confidently asked.
"Mujhe apki ek madad chiye , ye address kaha hai aap bata sakte hai?"
The watchman looked at the paper and then laughed loudly .
"Arey bitiya pehli baar aayi ho na yaha?" the watchman asked with a big grin making naina confuse.
Why was he laughing and smiling? Were Munna pandit fooling her?
this doubt came into her mind and her heart started consoling her disturbed soul.
"Aaap ...has kyu rahe hai uncle?" she asked stammering.
"Arey bitiya ruko ek minute " the watchman got up and then pointed his finger towards the opposite direction.
"Wo dekho ..naam padho zara" the watchman guided and she followed.
On seeing the board on the opposite side , her eyes widened and then turned moist.
She read the name on the big board
"St. Peter's College , Nainital "
"Ye.. ye... yahi college hai? aur ye hostel?" she questioned with teary eyes but a big smile.
The watchman nodded his head in yes and replied
"Ye hi to pata likha hai na is chitti mein aur haa jo bacche yaha padte hai unka hostel college ke piche hai bas 5 minute ki doori pe"
The watchman guided and she could only think about her fate her destiny that was blessing her with such unbelievable miracles.
Sameer's college , Sameer's hostel was just 5 minutes away from her..this means her Sameer was just some minutes away .
Unable to control herself , her sobs increased as she was too happy , she was overwhelmed.
The watchman was scared on seeing her crying so he asked
"Kya hua bitiya ro kyu rahi ho?"
"Kuch nahi uncle...ye khushi ke ansu hai ..thank you mujhe ye pata batane ke liye" she genuinely thanked this man who gave her a big reason to smile in this unknown city.
"Hamesha haste raho bitiya..waise lagta hai koi khaas hai is pate pe? " he asked and she just agreed.
"Sirf khaas nahi...bauhat bauhat bauhat khaas "
Saying this she started moving towards St. Peter's Campus.
With every step she took towards the gate , towards him , her heartbeat increased.
Four years, she had stayed away from him since so long , just because she misunderstood him in the past , she had lost him but her destiny was with her , she will surely find him now . She has travelled from Ahemdabad to Nainital , just for him and now she could only see the college , his college . She kept on moving as now there was no turning back.
Naina's pov-
"Kabhi kabhi zindagi mein kuch aisi situations aa jati hai jisme hum yaa to khush hote hai ya dukhi hote hai par us din Sameer ke itne paas hone ki khabar se hi maine ye dono emotions ek saath mehsoos kiye the . Mai khushi se ro rahi thi kyuki chaar saal bad usse milne jo wali thi mai ...mai to khush thi ki usse milugi kyuki mai usse pyar krti thi par mai ye bhool gai thi ki jis insaan se mujhe itna pyar hai wo mujhse usse kayi zyada nafrat karta hai
Us waqt to mere dil mein ek hi baat chal rahi thi -
Yun Mulakaat hui koi raah mein unse
ki ab khojti hu har raah pe unko"
She kept on roaming inside the campus, it was afternoon and even the watchman was asleep. She could see a few students loitering around . After asking and searching for a while she finally reached the hostel building.
"Room no. 8 ,groundfloor " she mumbled and moved towards the door. As it was a boy's hostel campus some people looked at her suspiciously but then no one actually cared as people there were far more broad minded then her own city.
She reached the room and her heart sadenned on seeing a lock on his door.
"Kaha ho tum sameer ! " she silently murmured and feeling dejected she moved towards her cottage fearing to be caught if she stayed any longer.
She was looking down and moving in a bit faster pace . She was very sad and so didnt feel like enjoying the view of the beautiful garden near the hostel.
Her dejection continued and she kept on moving when suddenly she collided with someone , which brought her out of the trance.
She collided so closely that she feared that she will fall badly . But even before she could fall or even slip , a strong pair of arms encircled around her waist to hold her firmly . She had already closed her eyes in fear and clutched the strong arms for support.
They twirled for a second or two and then gained support and became stable immediately.
The moment they both became stable , their closed eyes slowly opened . The position remained the same ie hands on her waist and she holding the arms tightly.
Slowly their eyes opened and then everything just stopped for that moment.
It took her some time to realise that it was him , her sameer. It was him with whom she collided , it was him yet again , it was him who was holding her so tightly , it was him who was so close to her in this moment.
Sameer was moving towards his room from the opposite direction and even he was in hurry so he rushed but collided with her. He felt the girl was about to fall so he held her for support . When his eyes met hers , he was drowned again in those beautiful orbs.
The same eyes, the same beautiful eyes he had seen four years ago. He could forget everything but not that short lived yet mesmerising moment of his life where he was hypnotised though temporarily.
They kept on looking at each other . His hands on her waist, her hands on his arms . His eyes on hers, her eyes on him , silence all around, cold chilly breeze surrounding their bodies which were just a millimeter apart after collision.
The world seemed long forgotten when the moment was recreated by the Almighty . It was destined , everything was destined.
Sameer was so mesmerized by her beauty that he had almost forgotten everything for a while. Naina had tears and a warm smile on her lips. This closeness wasnt bothering her anymore as long as she could see him in front of her eyes.
She didnt move, he didnt move and also the time just stopped.
She was smiling at him with teary eyes while he returned the gesture with a warm smile. The moment he smiled back Naina felt herself floating in heaven as he seemed normal.
She sighed and slowly murmured
"Sameer " and smiled at him while her eyes were shedding tears continuosly.
On hearing her voice, his trance was broken. His facial expressions started changing and he left her immedietely as he got the flashbacks of that terrible day.
Feeling devoid of his warmth , she felt bad and searched deep into his eyes for the reason and his warm eyes turning cold on seeing her was enough for her to understand that no he still hated her.
Sameer remembered everything that happened in school and just closed his eyes to control his boiling blood .
On seeing his reaction, naina became upset , she hesitantly touched his arm and his eyes opened within a second on feeling her touch.
His eyes turned blood red and he just removed her hand from his angrily.
Naina had expected such reactions from him but then her heart was too fragile to handle such pain. Her sobs increased as she said
"Sam..eer...hi...wo..mai ya.ha ...tumse...milne ...."
and before she could speak more in that broken tone , he raised his palm to stop her from speaking and moved away towards his room as fast as possible leaving her crying in the middle of the path.
Naina turned to see his retreating figure and cried for sometime. She could see him kicking the parked bicycles angrily and then closing his door with a loud bang.
Naina wiped her tears and calmed herself.
"Ye to hona hi tha na Naina, ye to tu janti thi ki wo nafrat karta hai tujhse to ro kyu rahi hai , isi ke liye to aai hai yaha , maafi to tujhe mangni hi hogi aur pyaar wo to waqt hi bateyga ki milega ki nahi "
"Yeh ishq nahi asaan bas itna samaj lijiye ek aag ka dariya hai aur doob ke jaana hai "
She remembered the quote that she strongly believed these days.
"Lafzon se naa sahi , naino se humari kuch baat to hui , Adhoori hi sahi aaj apse phir ek baar mulakaat to hui "
Saying this she smiled seeing his closed door . This closed door seemed like his closed heart and now she knew that she will have to struggle hard to make these doors open for herself . This journey was going to be tough , challenging but now she was even ready to move mountains for him , just for her love .
She was so close to him physically but was still far from his heart , with her good fortune she was successful in eradicating the physical distance by coming here but now her efforts could only let her be close to him in all the senses.
Because right now,
they were so close , yet so far ...
