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 !
