Tum Hi Ho Bandhu... Sakhaa Tumhi !!!

604th BLOG POST -->>

            It was one of the many depressing days for Soham who was killing himself from last 15 days continuously. He was still unaware of what his life is going to be at the very next moment but the only thought that he had in his mind was- How can my 18 months of life get screwed so easily? He had many questions in his mind. He was unable to believe that the dreams he had in his mind got converted into something that he didn't even have idea of. He always thought that Life is a Piece of Cake but he never knew that it can be a bit of salt too which can make the whole food tasteless. Soham locked himself in his 2 BHK Flat from last 15 days so that none of his friends can come and sympathize to his ill moment. He kept on crying and weeping continuously. Whenever he went and stood in front of mirror, he found that he is still as he used to be but still the life changed in a moment which turned out to be something that he never ever dreamed about. 

             Soham was in deep love with Disha. At the convocation ceremony of Engineering, when Soham was made to stand on the stage and give a "Send-off speech" as he was good in writing and speaking, he did something incredible and unpredictable in the end. In front of all the faculties, heads and students, he proposed Disha in front of the world. All the classmates were shocked at this behaviour of Soham. Everyone knew that Soham and Disha were best friends but no one ever doubted that Soham might be liking her. Disha was so surprised at the moment that she had her mouth open in an "O" shape. Soham said in the mike seeing this,"Disha, please close your mouth, move your body and let the world know whether I am being accepted at my very first attempt of proposal in life or am I rejected like 100 others who proposes you?" Disha closed her mouth, rubbed her lower lip with her tongue, thought something and gestured Soham to come and hug her. He shouted in the mike,"Hurray" and ran towards her. Disha and Soham hugged each other while all the classmates gathered them and started singing "Celebrations.. Oh Ho Celebrations.. Both friends came together as Couple with attractions" That was the best day of College for everyone at VJTI.

                And then the couple got admitted in the same college for the same course- MBA and the love saga continued. No one ever tried to bitch about the couple as everyone loved both of them and someone or the another used to pass on the message to either Soham or Disha. But, as they reached the last semester, Disha's parents started compelling her to get engaged immediately and married as soon as her semester ends. It was hard for Disha to say NO because her parents promised Raj's parents when Raj and Disha were together in school. But Disha always thought that her parents joked whenever she was asked to meet Raj once in a year since childhood. But the story turned tense when she celebrated Diwali in her vacations and gave her 3rd Semester's examination just after the so-called vacations. Her parents started forcing her to get engaged with Raj. Raj started taking out Disha for dates and trips. She had to tell Soham about this and Soham had nothing else to cry on the phone or end up arguing with her. At last, one day, when Disha got to know that there can be nothing that she can do, she asked Soham to forget her as she does not love him anymore. That was a big BLOW to Soham's life. And since then, he started treating his life as worst as he can.

              After 20 days of torture that he did to himself, he got a call from someone he always wanted to talk to. Disha asked him to meet for the last time at Leopold Cafe as she wanted to meet him for the last time. He dressed up neatly as he wanted his last impression to be better than all the impressions that he created up in her mind in last 18 months. Disha came 15 minutes late to the Cafe with a big plastic bag in her hand. She sat in front of him. He started staring her and tears started rolling off his cheeks. She wiped them off. She said,"Did you see that Book fair?" by pointing at the fair which was set up just across the road. He said,"I can't see anything in this world since the one went away from my life whom I want to see even when I close my eyes". Disha tried to control her emotions. But then she suddenly turned rude and started taking out gifts one after another that Soham gave her in the time span of 1.5 years of their love affair. She asked Soham to keep talking about the moments when these gifts were given to her by him so that their last meeting can turn out to be beautiful. They started laughing and chuckling by remembering all the moments they shared together in last many months. 

             After lots of talk, Disha looked here and there and kissed Soham's earlobe. That was enough to excite Soham like every time. This was the place they always met whenever they celebrated something. And how unfortunate was this that they had to celebrate their last meeting at the same place itself. :-( Soham locked all his fingers into her fingers and moved forward and started kissing Disha's nose, lips, neck, chin, ears and didn't left any Square Centimeter of her face which went ignored. :-) After few seconds of this intimacy, both stood up from their seats and started smooching without thinking of anyone around them. Disha was trying to get more wilder than Soham. It seemed as if she was trying to make most of this last meet. Suddenly someone came and pushed both of them at opposite sides. Soham shivered to see Raj standing with a red furious face which conveyed something that could have made Soham pee at the moment. Raj ignored Soham and looked at Disha and said,"What was going on?" She gave him a confused look that was enough to irritate this NRI guy. He shouted in front of all,"Bloody SLUT" and screamed that he'll never marry a slut and he'll move back to USA next morning itself.

              Soham was still shocked even when he saw that Raj left the Cafe. Disha smiled, came closer to Soham, kept her elbows on his shoulders and asked Soham to hold her waist. Soham was confused to see the smile on Disha's face even when she was claimed to be a Slut by her fiancee in front of all. Finally, she uttered,"I called Raj too to meet me here. And I timed it appropriately so that he comes after half an hour of our meet. When I saw that he was entering the Cafe, I kissed your lobe that was enough to excite you. And whatever happened turned out to be enough. Now, my marriage is being canceled by him and we are in each other's arms once again." Disha gave a wicked and nefarious smile to Soham. And both of them locked their lips once again and started smooching. While Akshata who came with Disha just in case the matter would have turned worst, sat separately at a table quite away from where Disha-Soham sat through out the scene. And now when Soham and Disha were enjoying the same kind of intimacy as they did on their Convocation Ceremony, she made the Cafe play the song,"Celebrations.. Oh Ho.. Celebrations............" and Soham-Disha kept melting into each other's body while others clapped. :)

P.S. As the last Fiction was too intense, it became a responsibility to bring out something lovely and light too. And Yes, as Disha managed to get back to her love by fooling the idiot Raj, we should also try learning some innovative tricks rather than crying over our Lost and Left Love :-)

 Thanks.
