Love like none other

Here is a new story. I shall put it in chapters, so bear with me, if it takes me a week to find out that much time. :)

                                                                    Chapter1


Rohan a financial analyst in a reputed MNC. Educated, well built and happy go lucky person. Shikha, Love of his life and better half. Shikha is dusky and beautiful be it the person she is or be it her looks. She is well learnt and works with an NGO for old and senior citizens called Parivar.

Their lives were happily married- Ever After sort of . But this would not have been a story if it remained that ways. Their lives changed from a perfect hollywood romance drama to a crime drama mystery. 


Story Begins:

Scene1:

Shikha preparing green tea for Rohan, as its almost time he return from home. After tea they go for Jogging together and work out in their small gym at home.
Rohan enters and grabs the love of his life in his arms and they kiss. Then follows the regular yet not monotonous regime. Post yoga and working out, they cook together and eat. At the dinner table, Rohan tells her about his new clients at work - the Copar Group. Shikha tells him about an anonymous donation she received in her name at Parivar and tells him she was going to utilize half of it to renovate Parivar for upcoming Diwali and other festivities. There is this moment where Rohan thinks and asks out loud why would someone donate in her name and not for the NGO. Shikha was too excited about all that she would do for the elderly that she did not care and said : Who cares, might be a well wisher, what matters is that Anju Aunty, Gaur uncle and all the people in my Parivar can have a better Diwali. With that they smiled, Rohan overwhelmed by her enthusiasm and compassion for others, kissed her on her forehead. 

Scene 2:
While Sitting curled up together they were watching television, and Rohan switched it off and picked Shikha up in his arms and took her to the bedroom. While they made passionate love, Rohan's mobile rang. Suddenly, there is nothing but the phone ringing. 

Rohan: Hello! 
Caller: [Crying Woman]
Rohan: Hello! Who is this? Whom are you looking for madam?
Caller: [Sobbing] Its me. 
Rohan: Sorry, I did not recognize you.
Caller: Its ok! [Hangs up]

Shikha asked him, "what happened honey? Who was it?" Rohan told him he did not know. Shikha chuckled and said, so my Husband has a stalker? Rohan, who was disturbed and distracted, still thinking about the call, noticed the naughtiness in her eyes and grabbed her and started kissing her. Forgetting the call, they lie there making love.

Lights off.

Scene 3:

Rohan at work. [Tring Tring]
Rohan: Hello! 
Caller: Hi Baby, its me.
Rohan: Mwaahh .. How are you doing my lady?
Shikha: Nothing sweetheart, missing you.[chuckles]
Rohan: I miss you too sweetheart. Lets go home and make love then.[replying in a naughty tone]
Shikha: Or may be, lets wait till 7 p.m. 
Rohan: Alright! I ll see you in the evening then.
Shikha: Love you.
Rohan: Take care.


Scene 4: Flashback.

2 years back. 
Shikha in her hostel, studying for her University social science exams.
Tring Tring. Shikha smiles and answers her phone.
Shikha: Hello!
Rohan: Come down for a bit. 
Shikha: Oh, but I have my exam tomorrow. Why have you come today? Can't wait till tomorrow evening?
Rohan: I am here outside your hostel, waiting for you. I am not going till I see you.
Shikha: Looks at her watch, flips her notebook and switches off her table lamp.

She grabs a stole and leaves her room.

Out in the dark, stands Rohan leaning against his white car. 

She walks towards him. 

Shikha: Yes?
Rohan: I just came to tell you something.
Shikha: What is it? Tell me fast, I have 2 more chapters to revise.
Rohan:[ Holds her and turns around, pinning her to the car ] Stop babbling! I just came to remind you, we are meeting my mom tomorrow. 
Shikha: Oh no, tomorrow? 
Rohan: Yes , why?
Shikha: Nothing its just, that I have so much stress of the exam already and meeting your mother is going to add to it. What if she doesn't approve of me? What if she says I am not beautiful enough. What if she thinks my family is not good enough for her?
Rohan: Shhh Shhh[ keeps a finger on her lips, and moves very close to her as if he was about to kiss her, Shikha falls silent all of a sudden] , I know my mom, she loves me and she would definitely love you.[Looks her in the eyes and kisses her forehead]
And they stand there hugging each other.

Void or Just me?

That Void..
is asking me to find something..
To kill itself?
Or is it not the void..
but me?

Yes.. may be its me...
But I have chosen it for myself..
Its not permanent..
But its tough to hold on to it...

This twin of me is trapped within..
I need to give it some air..
To breathe and to feel alive...

I shall !
I shall !

Me and my silence

I choose to walk alone..
& Walk in the dark...
I am not lonely...
But I choose to walk alone...

Times when I want to be quiet..
 And feel someone along,
I ask you to be a silent date..
be with me but stay just very quiet..

Ah.. There you are wondering..
Why am I inexplicably very quiet..
You know only one shade of me..
Out of all those many of them..

The cloak of the soul..
seems icy calm...
The flutter inside is
 violent shaken..

I choose to walk alone..
and to be silent...
To air the inner self..
That is calling my attention

My Love

To know you.. like that.. was to love you...
To love you.. was a feeling.. I had not experienced before..
We differed to know each other better...
until we found the similarities in our differences...
Gradually it happened... no one called for it
no proposal needed...
commitment came from the love ...
love flowed from within...


I don't regret losing you to life..
I think about you or not..
I feel you inside me..
when I feel like love..
I can see you despite no pictures..
I just need to feel love.. and close the eyes 
that ain't looking..
and not even searching for you..
you were not perfect as you left..
or may be you were because you could...
Its because you gave me all I needed...
I asked less or you gave more..
barely matters.. because I cry no more..
I love you like I did... I search for love..
and I find you within me...
I ask myself this thing -if I loved you enough
that you feel me like I do?
I fear if I caused you more pain than you could take;
for not holding on.. and letting me go!

But, O' My Love! My Love! 
I have no complaints..
for love is not to touch..
Love is not to talk...
love is to know your presence.. 
even when you are not...
Though, love sounds similar to making love..
but I might make love.. but I might not love like you again....!

If I could make a wish


If I could make a wish to you..today..or some other time..
Would I walk those streets with you..once again..
from dusk till dawn...over and over again..

If life be more generous this once..to me ..
Would I lie by your side.. all night long..
Looking at that face that speaks nothing, but love to me..

If only this one more time..I got lucky again..
Would I get a deeper look this time ..so that
Don't I fear of losing the memory of you.. once you are gone again...

If.. that day when you left, could be brought back to life..
Could I make the most of it this time.. and not cry..or try to hate you ;
to let U go...

It is beyond my existence...... either of these....!

You or No one..

After Sahil- The war hero Captain left the world in peace  ..
 Priya..His Girl.. as he addressed her... 

She wrote these lines.. when .. not lonely.. but alone..
not crying.. but talking to him.. in solitude..


Every time I think.. over what Ma says..
You wanted me to live an as cheerful life as with you..
 and to be with someone..

You should come and see over.. I am cheerful..
Living.. Loving life and people around me..

But.. I just cant grant the other wish of your's..
what were you thinking.. while asking for that one?

I try to imagine myself with someone..

Pondering over and deeper
It is just you whom I yearn for..

Letting go is easy.. I have realized now..
But Stopping to love someone.. is not...

It is just beyond my control.. to not think about you
or to just accept you are gone..

I can accept you are not there..
But how can I stop myself from talking to the presence of you inside me?

Letting go has become easy..
because .. Life has no rewind.. I have accepted..

I know.. you have changed ways.. 
and our paths don't meet anywhere in the only life time we had...

I know you ll be lightening some other place
by now... with your ever bright face and 
the warmth you carry along with you...

I have a purpose.. that relates somewhere with you...
I am filling the space you left behind...

I can be happy with you in me..
than removing you to make space for someone else...

I can not be that harsh on myself..
after the fate has already decided my pain...

If only..I could touch you for that last time....
I could tell you how I feel you in me....

And you ll have no regrets.. like I don't have any....

Random !

Yes That day...

That day when you said 
something....
I did not know..
how to react to that something

Talking ,As if I figured it out

Because I actually have not...
I ain't sure if I could ...

But yes... I surely need to...

The thing is..
You took me by surprise..
I wasn't ready..

Ready to hear that from you
And how could I be ?
