Segment 3: Love Is For Ever

SEGMENT 3: Jeene Ke Ishaare Mill Gayye





The delay is owed to the long and challenging process of acquiring permission to continue this story. This has been the second most difficult segment to put down in words. Lovy’s refusal to speak on the subject was the major drawback… as her opinions, rather her description of an event or incident makes things easier… provides enough of rough draft to work upon. Whatever I’ve been able to write in this segment is based solely upon Aditya’s narration and point of view.

--------------------

Date: 22nd January, 2008

The Hyundai Verna collided with the goods truck at the jutting edge and fell fifty feet onto the rocks below.

Its front end crumpled with the force of impact, thrusting two-foot of metal back into the car. The windshield exploded, showering the insides with deadly slivers of glass. Both the driving wheel and dashboard compacted into one mangled mess. The rear side passenger door was savagely torn free from its hinges and the front two wheels were sent spinning out into the night. The metal of the car groaned like the final cry of some wounded beast. It shuddered once and then fell slowly onto its side.

After that, all was silent for a while.

In a world that was not a world, two lovers embraced for one last time. As one, they floated into a dimensionless distance. Together again, together as they had always been, they headed off into whatever waited for them along the timeline of eternal existence.

--------------------

Date: 24th January, 2008

Aditya could just barely hear some mourners whispering about him from the corridor.

What’s going to happen to poor Aditya?

Aditya looked over at them all just to see them stare back at him with sad and heartbroken expressions on their faces. At that point though, he didn’t care about who was going to look after him. All he cared about was that right now, he was alone. Aditya walked over to his sister. Akanksha gave him a big hug and wept, holding onto him. Ashish, Akanksha's husband separated Akanksha from Aditya. He patted Aditya's shoulder and hugged Akanksha.

Ashish: (not separating Akanksha from himself) Adi... go, have some dinner. Tumne kal se kuch nahi khaaya hai.

Then he turned towards the wailing Akanksha.

Ashish: Akshu… Ansh ke pass chalo… usey akela nahi chhodna chahiye.
Akanksha: (wiping her tears) Ansh to Sharma Uncle ke pass hai… Aunty ne kaha tha ki usey yahaan se door rakhna chahiye… yahaan pe pareshaan ho jaayega.
Adi: Wo log chale gaye?

Akanksha and Ashish both turned to face Aditya, who looked away. Aditya’s voice seemed to have come from very far away. Ashish chose to answer.

Ashish: Nahi… abhi yahin hain. Pooja ki saari preparations Uncle dekh rahe the… aur Ayushi…

Akanksha shook her head, preventing Ashish from elaborating.

Akanksha: Adi, chalo… kuch kha lo.

Aditya did not speak, but turned and rushed out from the room and out through the front door.

Ashish: (pressing Akanksha’s hands between his, reassuring her) Sab theek ho jaayega…
Akanksha: (nodding) Ayushi theek hai?
Ashish: Nahi.
Akanksha: Usey Adi se milne dena chahiye?
Ashish: Pata nahi…
Akanksha: Ashish… Uncle-Aunty ke hote hue mujhe Adi ki fikr nahi hai… lekin… hume usey apne saath le chalna chahiye.
Ashish: Ye decision Adi ko lena hoga… mujhe bhi lagta hai ki better yahi hoga ki Adi humare saath chale.
Akanksha: Uncle-Aunty ke pass chalte hain… wahi batayenge ki kya karna chahiye.

----------

Aditya was tired, of how life played games on their dreams and aspirations. There he was, in another part of the world fighting his battle, as he was here, not just to survive but to live. He wanted to escape from his world of reality to other side of the world. He felt as if his brain couldn’t work and his monotonous life drugged it to stop thinking any more.

Pain and shock stilled him. Time passed as he stood there, waiting for Alok and Sangeeta to come back to him. A second ticked away, then minutes, later, hours. Aditya dared not move from his spot. It was as if he could prevent himself from accepting the harsh fact so long as he didn't move. His feet and back ached, but not as much as his heart with each passing second. He refused to register the fact that his Ma and Pa would not turn up, that they were no more. His firm stance on the ground revealed nothing of the turbulent emotions in him.

Suddenly the thunder rumbled, dark clouds rolled in. Within seconds, the sky split open, and rain poured down. The cold harsh rain triggered Aditya, making him crumble to the ground. The impact he made with the ground shook him to the core. His hands clawed at the grass, his shoulders shaking. The tears that had been inside him, poured out, very much like how the rain fell. Aditya howled his pain and despair, thumping the ground with a fist.

Though the rain started down harshly, it gentled now, washing away his tears. It was as though the rain pitied him, washing away his tears was its only way to try to heal him. But no matter how gentle the rain was, Aditya was indifferent to this. Only one thought etched itself in his mind.

His parents would never return.

----------

Mamma: Lovy, ab bas karo… Ansh so raha hai.
Apoorva: Tum jaakar khaana khaati ho ya nahi? Ek baar me tumhe kuch samajh me kyun nahi aata?
Lovy: (amidst tears) KuDi, chup raho… Ansh so raha hai.

Apoorva made a face.

Daddy: Kuhu-Lovy… please! Lovy… tum jaakar khaana khao.
Lovy: Daddy please… bas ek baar…
Mamma: (before Daddy could relent) Nahi… abhi nahi… tum abhi ussey se nahi milogi.
Ashish, Akanksha: (both together, entering) Mil lene dijiye Aunty…

They both made their way towards the bed and sat on it. Ayushi jumped to her feet.

Mamma: (sternly) Ayushi, baith jao… is waqt Adi tumse na mile to behtar hai… khud to roti rahogi… usey bhi pareshaan kar dogi. Adi ka hume tumse zyada khayaal rakhna hai abhi.
Lovy: Main… main khayaal rakhungi Adi ka. I’ll not cry.

Tears formed at the edges of her eyes when she saw Aditya’s face in her mind’s eye. Brushing them away, Ayushi took a deep breath and plastered a false smile upon her lips.

Akanksha: Jao mil lo…

Ayushi did not need telling twice. She sprinted off before anyone else could stop her.

Daddy: Beta, lekin…
Akanksha: Rehne dijiye Uncle… ro lene dijiye un dono ko. Adi ko bhi sukoon milega uski Ayu se mil ke.
Apoorva: Adi theek hai na Di?
Akanksha: Abhi bhi baat nahi kar raha kisi se. Aunty…
Mamma: Haan beta?
Akanksha: Aunty, actually… hum log soch rahe hain ki exams ke baad Adi ko apne saath le jaayenge.
Mamma: Kyun? Yahaan hum uska khayaal nahi rakhenge kya?
Daddy: Usey bol lene do pehle. Bolo Akanksha…
Akanksha: Aunty, aisa nahi hai… hume pata hai ki aap log Adi ka bahut achhe se khayaal rakhenge… lekin shaayad Adi yahaan normal nahi ho paayega… isiliye… aur… aap logon ko bhi pareshaani hogi.

Mamma did not reply.

Ashish: Aunty… aapko bura to nahi laga?
Mamma: Nahi… agar Adi bhi yahi chaahta hai to usey le jao… hum log kabhi ye nahi chaahenge ki wo yahaan humare pass rahe aur khush na rahe.
Apoorva: Lekin Lovy… I mean, Ayushi?
Akanksha: Haan… wo maan jaayegi?
Mamma: Tumhe aisa lagta hai ki hume Ayushi ki khushi Adi ki khushi se zyada pyari hogi?

Akanksha hugged Mamma, crying.

Akanksha: Thank you Aunty… aap logon ke saath ke wajah se aisa nahi lagta ki Mom-Dad hume chhod ke chale gaye hain… thank you!

Mamma could not help herself from crying too.

----------

Aditya was feeling so unloved that he thought he would be alone for ever. He kept sitting there on the ground, struggling silently to hold back his tears now. Aditya was about to wander away into his thoughts when he heard distant footsteps drawing closer and closer towards him. He had no idea who was coming and was still unable to come out of his mind-journey, when he finally saw who there was: there was none other than his bestest friend, a friend like whom he had not found second, and there she was, as if they were seeing each other for the very first time.

He felt as if his eyes were dazzled as when one looks at the sun. Everyone sees something beautiful that they will never forget, and she was his treasure. She was half way across the garden, but yet, he knew he would come to love her, if he didn't already.

But what if she too left him one day?

Ayushi came and crouched beside him on the ground, at eye level.

Silence greeted him. Unperturbed, he said, "Go away."

After spending the time alone, Aditya had cooled down considerably. His mind was now clear again. Aditya silently sent a thankful prayer that his expression was now composed and controlled. Otherwise, Ayushi would have read everything like an open book from his face.

Quietly, Ayushi reached out and placed her hand on Aditya’s, who spent no time in shrugging it off.

Adi: (repeating) Go away! Leave me alone.
Ayu: Adi… tum theek ho?
Adi: (losing his cool on Ayushi) Tum logon ko kya pareshaani hai? Mujhe akela kyun nahi chhod dete? Why can’t you people understand that the only thing in my life that is keeping me happy, keeping me breathing, keeping me alive, is not you! I don’t need any of you!
Ayu: I know you don’t need me Adi… but I need you.

Aditya looked at her as if she had just said that the earth was actually flat.

Ayushi put her hand on his shoulder and at that moment, Aditya’s head burst. He felt his head hit her lap. He couldn't open his eyes, couldn't straighten up. Ayushi sat in silence, and carefully studied the broken look that fell across Aditya’s face. Her own face was glazed with tears while Aditya’s was free from any mark of sobs. Her fingertips gently brushed the surface of his arms as he clung onto her lap.

Adi: (without raising his face) They’ll come back na, Ayu?

Ayushi didn’t have to guess who Aditya was talking about. There was a pregnant silence after which Aditya looked up at her, still waiting for her answer. Waiting for her to console him, for her to tell him that everything would soon be fine. That they would come back. Ayushi was gazing at the stars, trying to find two familiar faces in those constellations.

Adi: Ayu??
Ayu: (switching her gaze back to Aditya and speaking slowly, putting stress on each and every word she spoke) Adi, they won’t come back. They won’t come back ever.

The impact of hearing these words, spoken so transparently like this, was the same on both Aditya and Ayushi. Aditya shook slightly, convulsed now, in tears; tears running down his cheeks, trying to let the harsh truth sink inside his heart. Ayushi’s eyes too were full of tears, for she had accepeted the terrible truth with her whole heart and mind.

Ayu: Adi...
Adi: (as if Ayushi’s voice gave him the reminder to speak) They never told me about their leaving. They never even said goodbye. They didn't even say a word to me. I won’t let them go!
Ayu: (taking Aditya’s face in her hands) Adi, please… wo tumse milna chaahte honge, baat karna chaahte honge… but…
Adi: Wo aise nahi ja sakte… main… main bhi unke saath jaunga… you leave me alone! I don’t need you! Go away!
Ayu: Adi!
Adi: I don’t need you, understood? I DON’T NEED YOU! GO AWAY!
Ayu: (raising her voice, silencing Aditya) I’ll not go away! Just understand one thing Adi… tum akele nahi ho. We’re all with you… Uncle-Aunty se hum sab pyar karte the… aur hum sab tumse bhi bahut pyar karte hain. We all love you Adi… you’re not alone!

Ayushi was looking straight into Aditya’s eyes. He kept quiet immediately when he saw the determined expression on her face. By the end of the day, the thing that mattered most to him was not his parents, but Ayushi. She was the one who had prompted him to take the first step out of his protective shell and be the person who he was today, the one who taught him to smile just because the sun is out. Even now, she was teaching him--- teaching him to live.

Ayu: I’ll not leave you Adi… I’ll never go away… I won’t…
Adi: (punctuating her) Promise?

He held out a hand. Without leaving his gaze, Ayushi put her hand in his and nodded through tearful eyes. And in that beautiful moment they locked eyes, suddenly, Aditya had a thought. He now knew when she was most beautiful.

Ayushi was most beautiful when looking at him.

Reluctantly, he tore himself away from the enchanting image. Forcing a small smile to smooth the hurt inside, Aditya stood up.

Adi: Andar chalo Ayu Baby… it’s too cold here. Aur… hume dinner bhi karna hai… and… thanks!

Aditya helped Ayushi to her feet.

Ayu: Thanks kis liye?
Adi: Mujhe samjhne ke liye… and I know, it’s not easy.

Aditya’s breath hitched as the memories flooded his mind.

Ayu: Hmm, tumhari yahi problem hai… tum kisi se kuch bhi share nahi karte.
Adi: (confessing) Except you.

Ayushi leaned over to softly kiss the top of his head. Aditya felt the haze of warmth wash over him as he submitted to its influence.

Ayu: No need to say thanks, anyways… what are friends for?
Adi: (looking at Ayushi steadily) Friends?
Ayu: Haan… you know FRIENDS.

She pronounced it as though introducing a new word in the English language and Aditya was to repeat after her.

Adi: (muttering, rolling the word around as if this was the first time he said it) Friends… yes, of course.
Ayu: I’ll miss you, Adi.
Adi: Main kahin nahi ja raha Ayu.
Ayu: Tum Di-Jiju ke saath…
Adi: Nahi jaunga.
Ayu: Lekin wo log to…
Adi: Unhone mujhse kaha tha… aur decision mujhe lena hai… na main is ghar ko chhodkar jaunga, aur na tumhe.

Ayushi stared at him when Aditya’s voice interrupted her thoughts.

Adi: (taking her hand) Watch your step… barish ki wajah se slippery ho gaya hai. I’ll go first.

He swung in front of her so fast, there was nothing to do but follow him up. Ayushi placed her feet where Aditya’s had safely stepped.
