Eternal Love (III)- The Rain

The thunders and the loud roars of the cloud woke him up. Sonal was fast sleep and the windows were trying desperately to hamper her sleep. He unfolds himself from her hold, got out of the blanket and extended it to her neck. Gazed at her face, she looks even more beautiful to him. It always kind of happens to Rohan every time Sonal looks him prettier than before. It’s just like the Bollywood actor “with age their charisma grows”. The windows and the doors where making too much of noise, so he got up from the bed with his eyes still glued to her face. Closed the windows and then walked towards the balcony.

Pune is completely different during rains, the only thing she liked about the city. Otherwise Sonal still misses Delhi; she loved every thing about Delhi and was very depressed when they decided to move here. It was still drizzling and the wind was strong, Rohan went out in the balcony just to feel what she liked so much about the rain. The first drop of water on his body took him 2 years back from then where he was forced to get wet in the rain by Sonal.

………………………………….turning the pages

Rohan was standing outside the Disco waiting for the rain to stop, thinking it was an awful night for him. First wasting hours on that gal and result no name, no phone number and above all this rain. Even the gal with whom he wasted so much of time was not his target, desperation creeps into him. Shivering because of the wind and the thought of going back fully drenched in rain- pneumonia, fever, cold, body aches , the very thought of these made him sick. Suddenly the process was blocked by a girl voice from back - Hi. He turned back to find the same gal.

Rohan: ehhh, not you again.
Sonal: Left early and still standing here.
Rohan: Waiting for the rain to stop.
Sonal: I wish, it never stops, I love rain.
Rohan: I hate rain.
Sonal: So were you able to figure out my name.
Rohan: Not interested.
Sonal: In what my name or me or my body which you have scanned many a time.
Rohan figured it out that another hour will go just like this and nothing will come out of it, so it’s better to accept the defeat and let her win. She would be happy and will let him go. Sonal!!
Rohan: What?
Sonal: My name…idiot.
Rohan: He tried to conceal his smile. Rohan
Sonal: So Rohan, you look cool when smiling and look cute when trying to hide one.
Rohan: He started laughing.
Sonal: That too much of… now you look roudy.
Rohan: Controlling his laughter, Shut Up.
By that time Rohan had figured out that this girl is master in handling boys, he knows when to prick them and when to soothe them, a complete bitch- plays with the guy’s emotions, drag him to edge, kick him and rest his history. There must be something in a gal to defy all his tricks.

Sonal: So now what?
Rohan: Means??
Sonal: You don’t want my number.
Rohan: Off course I want.
Sonal: Then walk me to the auto stand and she came out amidst the road.
Rohan: No way… I’m going that path, not at all falling for this.
By the time she had already started walking, her friends were little ahead than her. So she started running and swaying in the rain enjoying every bit and probably not letting any rain drops hits the ground without touching her body.
Completely soaked in rain, she was calling for him; it was then that Rohan realized that not only she has a good body and sexy looks; there’s also has a child within her. Bad Idea he thought but he ran towards her, leaving himself totally at the mercy of rain, every drop was like 100 watt electricity. She laughed looking at him, he feels like the biggest idiot in the world, standing in front of her with all humbleness and she making a mock of him. She grabbed his hand and brushed his hair, this was much stronger shot than the rain drops, It was not the first time that a person from opposite sex touched him, but it was different. He thought probably it may be the rain. The auto stand was not that far, it was 1 km from the disco. He was looking at her while she was babbling non-stop, half way through he already knew everything about her, the likes, dislikes and all the blah blah.. but what his ears wanted to hear was not coming out of her mouth- the number. He surely loves the way she talks, making different expressions with different topics, his eyes were glued to her lips and eyes, even the rain drops also loved it, not ready to leave the lips until the next drop forces, as if every drop wanted to kiss her.

Sonal: hellooo…
Rohan: yes yes.
Sonal: Stop staring and tell me something about yourself.
He hated this part, lucky for him they reached the auto stand, her friends were already waiting for her. He looked at her and she said Thanks with a lower voice, then went and sat in the auto.
Now he looked a complete idiot- he tried to ask her, where the fuck is your number? But something stopped, he stood there with his hand in the air and head down watching the water stream flowing under him, and asking him the same question which he himself was asking – Idiot what are you doing here? Move out of the way.

Idiot!! Now everyone was calling him that, he raised his head to figure out who, It was Sonal.
Sonal: Idiot – take my number otherwise how would you tell me about yourself.
Rohan: oh yes, I completely forgot.
Sonal: is it??

He realized that he wasn’t a complete IDIOT.
After exchanging the numbers she went back to the auto, Now both his head and hand were up and he was waving at her, then suddenly the auto stopped and she came running into him, kissed him on the lips and then started running towards the auto, shouting “This was for giving company in the rain”.
Now he realized that he was not at all an IDIOT and started feeling the rain, he took another auto for his room. Her images still lingered in his eyes and her voice echoed in his ears. “ Is this love “ … na na na.. He thought that once he dates her he will try celebrating it in a diff way not the usual bike…….
Bike!! He shouted at the top of his voice and the auto wala said no bike only auto.

Rohan: Shut up and take me to the stand from where you picked me, there is a disco near that stand take me there.
In this whole scene he completely forgets that he has a bike which may be now laying in the disco stand, waiting for his master. What an idiot , he gave the auto wala the fair and ran into the stand and was happy to see his bike still there . He touched it, removed the water from the seat and then started it.

Now , “Is this love” idiot “this is loss of memory go see a doctor’. Then he drove back home.

Few days past he was still in the dilemma “Call Don’t Call”, he was dawdling with this from last 2 days. Sometimes when he picks up to call, the thought of her not calling first stops him. He was not able to sleep after that rainy night not because of her but fever, cold and when temp was low her thought's too . One fine morning he picks up and dialed her up as he cannot see himself in this distress any further.

Rohan: Hello, how are you?
Sonal: Hi, I’m fine! Who are u?
Taken aback she doesn’t have my number stored, but she stored -in front of me that night, she deleted it as I was late in calling, or she never stored it.

Sonal: Hello…
Rohan: Hey It’s Rohan, Rohan Bakshi
Sonal: Which Rohan, I don’t know any one by that name. Sorry Wrong number.
Rohan: I met you in Dis……
She hung up, it took some time for Rohan to realize what happened and when he realized that, his Nokia 2200 was flying in the air to meet its inevitable – The Wall.

Eternal Love (II)- The Encounter

Almost 2 years after the disco night….
It was raining heavily since last 2 days, the windows and the doors were left open as Sonal loved the touch of cold moisten wind during the rains on her body. She certainly loves the rain and he definitely hates the rain. He couldn’t even hear the commentary properly because of the rain drops hitting the balcony and the winds splashing the window’s panes. Even when he tries to concentrate a bit more the clouds ruin it, making sounds even deaf can hear. He was totally pissed of and she was enjoying the rain lying next to him.

Sonal: Do you love me?
Rohan: What?
Sonal: Perfect answer you won a date with Bipasha.
There goes a slap on the back not forceful but certainly enough to divert Rohan’s attention from the football match going on the TV.

Sonal: I’m lying almost half naked next to you and you are seeing the guys running all around in shorts. Your sexual feelings are alright na or something happening inside you.?
Rohan: no no…Sorry

Holding her hand and bringing close to his lips he told ‘off course I love you’.

Sonal: Then what so interesting on TV?
Rohan: It was just that Args are loosing.. oh ok forget it. Tell.
Sonal: What can you do for me?
Rohan: Oh you want to play Bollywood – Bollywood? “Jaan de sakta hun”.
Sonal: Crap ..That I can take anytime, you are at my mercy and she extended her head and kissed him on the cheeks.
Rohan: oh oh.. “Bribe”.. tell?
She started smiling, and said that she wanted to date Tom Cruise.

Rohan: What?
Sonal: Again wot?? You don’t remember?
Rohan: I do remember your dream of dating the smartest guy in the world ?
Sonal: Yes correct, After all these years I have decided that lucky guy would be ‘Tom Cruise’, although he had some tough competition from Jackie Chan.
Rohan: Jackie.. Jackie Dada.. ha ha ha ha…
Sonal: Shut up. So please do something, I want to date him.
Rohan: Yup, one of my frnd has his number , I’ll call him and will arrange a matin…meeting. Trying to control his laughter.
Sonal: Good, I must start preparing for the date from now only. The dresses, the makeup, the jokes, the cond…
Rohan broke into laughter, and after few beating and slang’s by Sonal he calmed down.

Rohan: Ok . Do you remember the Disco night when we first met?
Sonal: Off course, who can forget the worst day of my life, which ruined everything.
Rohan: Worst day of your life?? Worst day of my life, I left so many girls just for you.
Sonal: Hmm!! Who is stopping you? Go your are free.
Her eyes moisten, before she starts crying, Rohan kissed her on the lips passionately, and she threw his head away saying- “enough enough” and started smiling.

Rohan: I love you.
Sonal: I know, so what were you saying about that night?
Rohan: Actually, at that night I was trying to coax one of your friends.
Sonal: Oh gr8, and now you’re telling me. Who was she? Ritu, Geeta, Rashmi, Sheetal
Rohan: Sheetal.
Sonal: Pathetic -your choice is just like you.
Rohan: Jealous!! Okies listen, actually I tried to go through the old funda “Pehle dost and then the friend”. So the net was spread for her, with you as bait but you turned out to be the prey. Never ready to leave the net for other fishes. You ruined that night for me.

This time she was not angry rather they both started laughing

Sonal: Sheetal !!! She is still unmarried and single, you want me to talk to her. Ha ha ha!! Take your time she will always remain single until her father find some one for her. You are one sleazy idiot.
Rohan: Yup I know.
Sonal: Do you really want me talk to her.
Rohan: No no. I love you.
Sonal trying to be a sycophant said Rohan lets trade her for Tom Cruise.

Rohan: You can have Tom Cruise, I don’t need any girl b’coz I have a beautiful, sexy, adorable wife.
Sonal: Even I also have a smart, sweet, loving hubby so I also don’t need Tommy; u can scum that desire of mine.
Rohan: Good.
Sonal: For time being.

They started laughing, the ambiance changed once his eyes met hers, it was love all over them, they kissed and hugged each other, and he lay next to her embracing her tightly, with his eyes dampened.

Eternal Love (I)- The Intro....

50–60-70– 80-90-100 there it goes -it was one of the fewest occasion his Pulsar crossed the 100 mark barrier on the Delhi-Noida high way.“Bakshi slow down” his friend sitting at the back was shouting at the top of his voice but nothing could deter him now, as this was his way of celebrating.

Celebration – yup this was his exotic way of celebrating a unique accomplishment. Well this celebration was not for coming 1^st in class or cracking the prestigious IIT exams or any medical Entrance or any other normal events which triggers any kind of celebration. It was something special – a kind of accomplishment in which lies his vanity -that was dating gals and then pinning them down. The crown ‘Casanova’ was bestowed upon him by his friends and some of his admirers also tagged him as real time SRK. Well this celebration was for another girl falling for his charisma.

Mr Rohan Bakshi was not the same person initially when he landed in Delhi, he did his 10^th and 12^th from a small school in a small town in Chhattisgarh. Typical youth coming to Delhi for coaching so that he may get through any good Engineering college priority being IIT. His friend use to tell him that he landed on wrong side of the country, he should be in Mumbai pursuing a career in Bollywood or modeling rather slogging for engineering. He used to ignore them and some time will burst laughing on their marks. He was talented, a very good singer, a very good story teller, a good mimic, had loads of jokes in his stocks which could please any one in this world.

The first year of his struggle was in vain, he couldn’t crack IIT and because of his confidence, he didn’t even sit for other Exams. He felt bad asking his parents to support him for the second time preparation. This guilt and need for financial assistance brought him to Call centre job. He found everything related with the job very luring and soothing- night job, good money, hot- broad minded gals, minimum qualification for the post and above all he will get time in morning for his classes and studies. This job changed many things for him, his Enng preparation took a sudden break , he started liking gals, all the parties and outing which he had with his colleagues changed his perception towards gals . Now he knows how to handle them and what pleases them, he has become the master in the act of dating gals and then sleeping with them. Nothing in his life now was more important than gals. Before he could realize he has already developed some kind of addiction for girls, he would do anything just to have the company of gal -in short he was the “Ranjith of bollywood “ only difference was that he won’t indulge in any kind of sinful activity, he believed in everything happening with mutual understanding-no force.

All the gals he dated ,with none he was emotionally attached nor did he love anyone. He never used to feel bad or guilty on breaking anyone’s heart; even he used to make marriage promises but in the end it doesn’t even matter. This has now become his life style and he loved every bit of it. Every day a new challenge. new gal , a new style for trapping her. None of his relationship lasted very long nor did it took him much time to date a new girl.

Everything was smooth in his life but somewhere a tornado was approaching him…..

She was a typical Delhi gal, she was in 12^th std but instead of concentrating on her career she dreamed of dating the smartest guy in the whole world, well her dream has no boundaries but facing the reality she decided to narrow it down to Delhi. She's the spoiled brat, use to watch movies-bunking the tuitions. Grabbing extra money from home for extra tuitions and using those money in beauty parlor and buying dresses, spending the time with other gals in the happening places of Delhi like disco, coffee joins and other places where you get the maximum possibility of picking up a hot dude. She used to do all the things which even guys would dare to do at that age …. That's Sonal Muteja.

Seeing the world in altogether different canvas, where everything is multi-dimensional filled with colors which have no meaning in itself but they are there because they need to be there. Never believed in love and hated those gals who believed in ‘Sex after marriage’ or those gals who believed in QSQT and DDLJ. Only thing she liked about DDLJ was Switzerland and SRK style of flirting. Rest all was crap for her. She believes in dumping the guy before he can even think of that. She totally and completely believes in one-night stand. First drag, first booze, first date, first night out, first BF, first dump she loved every bit of his life which was out of box and nothing normal in it.

Like Rohan, Sonal also has a unique reason to celebrate. Dumping his Boy Friend calls for a party she hits the discotheques with his frnd , and at home it will be another late night Birthday party at his friends place. Her friends use to say that she is very lucky to have such excuses work every time and she would retort –“ Luck favors the daring and the daring will get the best F*** of life”.
A gal every guy would want as a GF but dare to fall in love or have her as wife.

In one of the disco's she ran into him or can say he ran into her-come on....anyways they both ran into each other and they never new that this would have a huge impact on their lives..........

Sonal: Hi!
Rohan:Heloooo!
Rohan:Single?
Sonal: Nope.
Rohan: where is he??
Sonal: Don't worry , he won't kick you for talking with me.
Rohan: ha ha , No i was just concerned that i may not kick him , if he doesn't allow me to talk with you .

She smiled and then both of them hit the dance floor.....
