The best part of your life will be those small, nameless moments you spent with someone who matters to you... 💕
Agree ?
*****
No one wants to be second in this world. But how do you feel if that place gives you more pride ?
Ananya : Second ?
At that time Anand's mobile started ringing....
Anand : What a coincidence !!!
He answer the call...
Anand : Oh my dear.... We were just talking about you.
His mobile speaker is so loud that, Ananya can even hear the voice of the person on the other side. There is a lot of sweetness in that voice and his face lights up when he speaks.
Anand : Yeah it's fine... You take care of yourself, say this to Jaju "I love her so much and I'll be back soon."
He hang up the call.
Her brain : Shree, Anu, Jaju... I think the list is long.
Ananya : So.... is she your girlfriend ?
Anand : Girlfriend... I dare not call her my girlfriend, my father will kill me if I do.
Her heart : What kind of love is this ?
Her brain : You brainless fellow, he means his mom.
Anand : It's soo funny.... don't you know my mom's name ?
Ananya : Anuradha Joshva...
Anand : Hmm. She is my Anu... My love...
Her heart : Did he really compare you with his mom ? 😳
Her brain : Usually boys don't do this. Interesting...
Her heart : what should I do now ? Should I beat faster ?
Her brain : Control control...
Ananya : Her voice is very sweet.
Anand : Where else did you think I got this talent ?
Ananya : You probably got this talent from listening to a great lullaby.
Anand : Haha 😄 you're right. And Anu.... i think again it's time to choose... North or South ?
Ananya : Why should I choose again ?
Anand : Yesterday I told you about my goal, right ? and to achieve that I must go north. Whatever you choose I won't take it wrong.
Ananya : I can't choose anything for now. I am very hungry.
She gets ready to eat without even brushing her teeth.
Anand : You idiot....Go and brush your teeth first.
Anand pulled her into the rest room.
There was nothing wrong with the taste of the food but she just didn't like to eat anything. She ate something to calm her stomach.
Anand said it's time for us to say goodbye and the taxi is waiting for her outside. She thought that he was not at all sad to part with her, but she sat in the taxi without saying anything to him. She was a bit surprised when he came behind her and got into the taxi. He put his hand around her shoulders...
Anand : Baby doll... You don't have to worry, I will track you till you reach home. ( He said soo loudly that it fell on the ears of the taxi driver )
Her heart : He is speaking like this for my safety 🥺
He got out of the taxi and smiled at her and the taxi took off.
His heart : So she's not coming with us ?
His heart was in sorrow, i don't know what her heart was telling her, the taxi that was going in front of his eyes suddenly stopped. She got out of the taxi and ran towards him.
Anand : What's wrong ? Have you forgotten anything ?
Ananya : Yep... I forgot that this land is new to you. You will surely need this Anu's help, so I will come with you.
Ananya didn't even give him time to answer and quickly went and sat in his car. Seeing her actions was like a child going in front of everyone in fear of where he would leave her.
If she asked him a permission to come, he would definitely say no. But how can he deny it if she says that " I will come " with the right. It was as if time had written in its diary that they would be together one more day.
Anand : Okey... You need to know this story because you've decided to come with me.
Ananya : Story ?
Anand : It's a big story but I'll keep it short.
Ananya : I am curious.
Anand : This is a story about a boy. When he was 12 years old he went to see a play. It is a musical drama. Some scenes from that play attracted the boy and from that day he became more interested in music. As he grew older, his interest in music also increased. His family was a middle-class family and they could not afford to teach him music. He learned to play the flute by the help of his teacher and performed it in the school play to the acclaim of all. When he told his parents that music would be his career after college, they disapproved of his decision. No matter how hard he tried, his love for music never waned. He ran away from home thinking that music was his life. Unfortunately his father died a week after he left home. Everyone from his family blamed him for his father's death. After that no one in his family wanted to see him and it hurt his heart. In that guilty feeling, the man who thought music was his life decided that there was no more music in his life.
Ananya : I think there is nothing wrong with chasing one's dreams. This is definitely not your story, so tell me whose story it is.
Anand : If someone ask me who is the sweetest person in the world, I will say him.
Ananya : David ? This is not really a good thing.
Anand : I tried so hard to bring music back into his life but it didn't happen. It hurts me so much to see him languishing in isolation and that is why I am trying to bring his family back to him.
Ananya : C'mon... cheer up man... Let's do this together. Surely what you thought will happen.
Little did she know that her single word would give him a thousand fold power, she appeared to him as an angel of hope.
It was only when they went to David's house that they realized that the situation there was not so good either. David's siblings left their mother alone in the village to find work in the city. Those who went in search of work got married and stayed permanently in the city. They don't even visit their mother twice a year.
Anand left Ananya in the car and he alone went to David's house.
One hours later...
He still didn't come back so Ananya got out of the car and started enjoying the surrounding scenery.
When he came back after some time with a withered face, she realized that his mission was not fulfilled.
Ananya : What happened ? What did they say ?
Anand : David's mother is the only one at home. she gave birth to three sons, none of whom were with her now. So she is very frustrated. She was not even ready to listen to me.
Ananya : let me try.....
Anand : I think there is no point in it.
Ananya : There's nothing wrong with trying though.
Anand could not stop her, so he followed her.
Ananya : Namaste ma....
David's mom : I told you just now that I don't want to talk to anyone, don't you understand ?
Ananya : i can understand. If you don't want to talk then don't talk but just listen to me. I will definitely not talk for more than five minutes.
Ananya was talking to David's mom without giving her a chance to speak, thinking that if she gave her a chance to speak, she would stop her from speaking.
Ananya : My dad worked in the army and was born in a relatively affluent family. When my father told that he was in love with my mother, who was born in a poor family, no one accepted their marriage. After a great struggle, they both got married. But that happiness did not last long. When I came to this world, my mother gave me life and left this world. Everyone looked at me and said that this is a very unfortunate child who killed his mother soon after birth. My father's family and relatives asked my father to drop me off at some orphanage. But my father did not listen to his relatives and thought that I was the most important. Even when i thought I was responsible for my mother's death, my father never spoke of it. David is like me, thinking he was responsible for his father's death. He is guilty and giving up all his dreams and living a life he doesn't like today. You don't need me to tell you how horrible the solitary life he now lives is. He didn't get his dream and even his family. Even now, if you ask him to leave his current life, he is ready to come with you. It doesn't matter if you don't accept him, just forgive him. He will at least live his life without guilt. Please ma...
David's mother's heart was melted by the way she spoke so warmly. In the battle between honor and motherhood, motherhood wins.
Anand was looking at her in amazement and thought We have a lot to learn from her. Ananya was blinking her eyes and told him with her eyes that I have won.
It was then that he realized that there is magic not only in her speech but also in her eyes.
Seeing the smile on his face when he knew that his goal was accomplished gave her a thousand times joy.
Anand seemed to Ananya a great soul to have come so far for someone who worked for him.
When someone we like behaves in a way we like, we like him more, don't we ?
It is time for them to part their ways again on this journey. Some sects bring sadness but we have no choice.
He even didn't know how many times he would have seen her sitting in the backseat as if turning the mirror.
He didn't know when he would get this chance again so he kept her face well etched in his mind.
Little did he know that their next meeting was going to be an unpleasant one. He had no chance of knowing that the happiness he has now will not be there then....
To be continued....
