I came out of my hotel in Fatehgarh for a smoke, Fatehgarh is a district in Punjab in the north-west India, here I am on a company project, I walked over the street to the Chai vendor and asked for a Wills Classic Ultra, I lit it up with a thought that it may bring down the color painted by her on my lips during the course of 6 years. I started puffing and started walking down towards the main market, by the time I reached the main road my cigrette was under my feet, while crossing the road I saw Swanna on her bike speeding across the road, I shouted her name but she seemed to have ignored, her glimpse made me restless and i started runing towards her, I continued runing till she went out of sight and fell on the road, crying, Shattered, sitting on the road with bruised knees still on the ground I saw Swanna on her bike coming towards me, by the time she came upto me I realized it was not her,
Girl : ‘Are you fine? Who are you, why were you trying to stop me? Do I know you?’
Me : Sorry, I mistook you with someone else.
Girl : Its perfectly alright that friend must be so important to you, you had almost killed yourself.
She went away saying Dont know what has happened to me since she has left. every other girl seems to be her and its the third time in one month that I mistook someone as Swanna and ran after her. Swanna was somewhere the pillar of all my hardwork. I walked away with bruised knee and on the way back to hotel i picked up another half dozen of cigarettes. The advantage of being away from home is that you can lit up cigarette anywhere on the road as no one has the idea who you are.
While laying on my bed in the hotel room I was lost amidst the thoughts of Swanna and cigarette smoke.
I and she were together in school, for the complete two years we used to be on the same seat of the school, We were being called ‘ Shizuka and Nobita ‘ of the school. then for engineering I had to come down to Mathura and she went all the way to Mumbai, the city of dreams, we were very far from each other but we were inseparable from the phone, in class, in room, even on bathroom seat….
My Shizuka was such a pretty girl that i can never get over praising her beauty, those brownish eyes, thin pinkish lips and her choti si nose, her milkish complexion …. No dictionary has words to praise her beauty. During vacations I used to be the first person to check out from the hostel reason being her, and our birthdays used to be the occasions when inspite of all the hurdles we used to be together.
After I got my engineering over I planned of shifting to Mumbai, just to be with her. My friends asked me not to take such a big step, I was placed in TCS, But how could I had not left it, my heart was in mumbai with Swanna.
Swanna too was placed in an MNC and we both took an apartment and after few months of hardships i too got a job in BSS by Harman a leading name in audio industry. Everything was working smoothly until my project calls became too frequent and I my staying away from the city became frequent. Almost every weekend i used to stay away from my Shizuka .
Rifts were usual between us and the whole center of rifts being my staying away. I was not able to maintain equilibrium between my work life and love life.
I finally left the job and got shifted to a small company whose work was mainly centered around urban Mumbai only, and that night i took her out for dinner, I proposed her for the marriage after 6 years, She walked away without saying a single word.
I followed her, Swanna denied sitting behind me on the bike, she took auto, we reached home, I asked her the reason of her ignorance.
Me: What was that baby?
Swanna : I dont wanna get married at this phase of my carrer.
Me: Its ok yar, We can wait.
Swanna: Its not ok, I have some ambitions in life, I need Money, Luxury everything and probably you can never give me that lavish lifestyle.
Me: I am working towards that only, My father is not an Ambani. I have to earn that money.
Swanna: Look, we should take a break.
Me: Break??? After 6 long fucking years you want a break.. I left everything just to be with you and you are fucking asking for a break. Lets clear the scenario. Tell me the complete story behind this fucking break..
Swanna: Leave it
Me: Clear it .. I need to know..
Swanna: You wanna hear it na… When you were away with your Goa project I met Debakar.. who is much more caring than you..
Me: Where is he from??
Swanna: Delhi
Me: Where you met him?
Swanna: leave it, Since we are calling off this relation so there seems no need of it..
Me: We are calling off so it should not affect you.. tell me i wan to listen..
Swanna: I met him on WECHAT, through throwing bottle concept…
Me: Great…
I haven’t said a single word just packed up my luggage and left… I was totally out of my senses… numb.. I took the first flight to Delhi and from there train to my home city Allahabad… After searching that guy on facebook and other social media and came to know that he is the son of a builder and he took birth with a golden spoon…
That’s where my Love story ended… I was Reliance but She wanted Airtel….
Epilogue:- The guy is now happily married but somewhere deep inside his heart he feels if he would have gone with his friends suggestion, may be his life would have been a little better..
–> Guys I had written my first story (My Life: She fueled it) with my heart.. but this one and the earlier one (I loved Apple, He had Nokia ) with a broken heart… Received a lot of positive reviews on the earlier…. Hope the same for this one too……. with this i am signing off… Do Comments…
Take care fellas……
