A beautiful (tragic) love story

My life was routine,wake up late,go to office,come back to house ,chat a while with friends,watch tv and sleep late.This happened almost every day with minor exceptions.Sometimes I did feel that my life has become too mechanical and i could do nothing but feel so again on some other day.

One day I was walking in light drizzle to reach a near by restaurant for breakfast. I saw a old lady trying to cross the main road to get a waiting bus on the other side.I went to her tried to help her cross the road .Meanwhile a heavy rain started , so I took her fast to the other side and helped her get into the bus, but she was holding my hand while getting in and the bus started. I was scared she l fall down if i pull my hand, so i also got into it.Before I thought of getting down from the bus my mischievious eye sighthas caught a beautiful gal dressed in pink.Somehow my heart started beating too fast, on top of it she was watching me help the old lady.So i dropped my idea of getting down and sat down just 45 degrees behind her.Before I could gasp at how beautiful her face was, she got down.Soon i realised i was getting late to office.I went back to room and missed my breakfast.

Next day like a typical love-struck romeo i went and waited in the bus stop. Got into the same bus from the front door,gave a look to my gal who was seated in the same seat.She got down in the next stop, i had to run back and get ready for office again.This happened for a week,but after that she never came in the route.I would have not been so crazy if she had not smiled at me on the first day when i helped the old lady on the first day.

Anyhow i forgot to tell you guys something .I have been serving my notice period in my Office.I resigned 1 month back for relocation and for a change in my life.Its been boring and kind of robotic.After a week of dis-appointment, I got pleasant surprise in my office,a new joinee, some Telugu gal from my location , that too a replacement for me.I was told to train her.When she introduced herself as Ashi , from behind, i turned my head and almost fell from my seat.....

She is the same gal, the bus gal !!!!! I told " hiiiiii".She said "I think I have seen you somewhere".Before she could re-collect and tell it to everyone I confused her, I bombarded her with project details.Her name is Ashritha .She has come from TCS.So I used to follow her on her way to office?Later in the day when i was having fruit juice in Cafetaria, i heard some voice just near my ears, from behind"No juice for me?".Its Ashritha...I was confused, how to react?She said she remembered me and was just pretending to be not known.She was very casual, not formal at all.Moreover very friendly.I confessed her that I was too impressed with her so i was just following my crazy mind which had developed a huge crush on her.I asked her to be normal as it happens!!!She laughed.We discussed all the project details.I told her everything,if it was a guy the knowledge transfer wud have been different though !!In the process we became very close,going together to coffee, lunch,meetings and leaving office at the same time.

Only the week before ,my manager tried to convince me to stay back.But being idiot I said no to all his proposals...hike, Onsite, promotion.Now I want to stay but no chances!!!


The day before release from the company my manager asked me if I am interseted to stay if I am offered team lead role.It was like some divine words, if he had asked me to stay back and work in bathrooms also I wud have stayed!!!Without hesitation I told YES.So things were normal , no moretensions.But i wished i could get her as love not just as friend.But knowing her so closely,I could not dare to propose.

It was April first,I thought its the best chance to propose her.If she gets serious, Il tell April fool just before she cud slap me .So i went to office with the best dress and best looks i cud manage.After office on the way back when no one was there around i told her "I wanna say something to u.I love U".She said she is shocked and said that she is the only gal in her house and that she cannot dis-appoint her parents with love and stuff.Hmm... I told her"Wait a minute, april-fool ...hahaha.Just fooling".Till then she did not slap but now she slapped me hard.She started shouting "how can you play with emotions like this.Is love so cheap for you ?".She started crying. Seeing her cry i just could not act smart any more.I told her that I started loving from the first time i saw her but could not dare to say it.Thats how things happened.To my shock she said she is upset at the fact that i changed my decision so soon after proposing.She was about to say that if i convince her parents then she l marry me !!After listening to that, I jumped in air.She told that she was also impressed on the first sight when she saw me helping the old lady.From that day we became very close.Every morning she calls me up and wakes me up and at night wishes me good night.She almost stays in touch whole day with me through sms.She advices me on all matters.Though she is younger to me,she is more matured than me.I act like a kid with her.She is so caring and affectionate.

One day she did not come to office nor did she call me up.When i called her, i was told she is suffering from jaundice and typhoid.She stopped coming to office.After a week, she messaged me that she has irresistable pain in her liver region.After 3 hrs I tried calling but no one picked up.Again after 2 hrs i tried calling but no response.Next day when i called some1 picked her phone i said i am her colleague.They told me that Ashi .......

I just cud not hear it,dropped the phone.She is no more.I earn so much still I could not save her.I just could not digest the fact that i cannot see her anymore in my lifetime.How can i forget someone who had been so close with me.How can i forget her.How can people die so easily.Oh man i was feeling hell.I went running to see her body at her home.She was laid on some kind of mat.So many people were crying .I could see her legs and face wrapped with a white cloth.I wanted to hold her legs and cry.I wanted to hold her hands for the last time in life.

I dint want her parents to know about our love.If i cry now everyone will come to know evrything.So i suppressed my tears and emotions.I just went to her father and sat for a while.One of our common friends introduced me to her father.I just could not hold tears seeing him cry, somehow i was stopping the tears from flowing out.He hugged me and said something in my ears....

"She wanted to say sorry to you just before she left her last breath"
I just could not control anymore ,I ran towards her ,i cried hard holding her legs.She might have felt bad and pain, leaving me alone.
May be she wanted to meet me and may be she wanted to say more.I told her dad that we are the best of friends.She was the lone daughter and I could understand her dad's plight.I helped them in the arrangements for her death ceremony.I managed everything from food to goods to arrangements for visitors.I met the insurance guys and saw that her parents got the insurance money.One day her parents asked why i was doing so much for them ,was there any love angle between them.I told them a trivial lie that she had tied rakhi to me and that she is like a sister for me.They were so happy after hearing they started saying how they brought up her and how good she was.They thought loving and stuff before marriage is something bad.


I know how good she was, and i dint want anyone to misunderstand her when she is not there.I moved into her house, they almost treated me like their son.And i was happy to serve and love her parents,as much as I could have done to her if she was alive.

I wish ......???

It was May 2006 , thats the worst part of the year to roam in tropical regions. Malaysia is the hottest place in the mid year time , only a fool could go out there for roaming in that time. And I happened to be that helpless creature roaming in hot sun in Malaysia ,as I had to go there on a company visit.


2 months I spent lonely time in my hotel room and I was counting weeks, days, hours and minutes . But still one week has to pass on.I spent the days and nights restlessly . Its hard to get proper sleep at the right time, I got myself used to sleeping pills.


On a sunday when I was roaming around a popular shopping market , someone called me from behind "Excuse me, are u an Indian ..". Before I could nod my head , she started asking where I could get Indian food. Before I could answer she started telling how bad the other hotel was.She was beautiful, gorgeous , very attractive and alone !!!For a minute I wondered if it was some Barbie doll , walking around and blabbering some beautiful nonsense !I knew if I tell that an Indian restaurant was in the next nook, she' l say thanks and she l go off. I told her that there are no good Indian restaurants in the vicinity and there's one very far but . I told her that I am going there in my car , and offered her a ride. She said yes .. yes... yes..yes .. yes... yes... yes... yes ... yes.Though she said yes only once it was repeating in my ears like a morning alarm . I jumped on that , and took her to that very far restaurant, 2 hrs away . Suddenly Malaysia started looking very beautiful .We reached the restaurant and had lovely Indian food . She said thanks and started her way back on a taxi to her hotel . I wanted to ask her phone number, her name, her hotel address , her city and many more things. All I could ask her is " Hey, just a minute .... may I know............ ....the time???????" . I was so dumb that i dint hide my watch while asking for time, still she told "12 pm Indian time, 3:30 pm Malaysian. " and I told I had Indian time on my watch .She went off . I started feeling the Malaysian heat and the short span of winter has vanished.
Next day at the complimentary breakfast I saw a Indian gal with traditional Indian wear, as I was staring at her from behind, she looked back and said 'hii...hiii...hiii....hiii....hiiiiiiiii', though she she said it once , it echoed all around in my heart. She told me that she came only the previous day on a holiday trip, which she got as a prize in a game show. Her name was Nayana .We went for site seeing ,had dinners together and did loads of shopping. I was just enjoying every minute in her company and wished that week would never come to an end ...


On friday night I told her that I will be flying back to India on the next day , I tought she will feel sad or bad, but she jumped and I started feeling sad and bad . She told me that even she is flying on the next day.I was too happy.Next day when I knocked her door , she dint open , then I called her extention, she din speak.I asked the reception guys and they said she is inside . After 2 hours again I tried but in vain. So I called the hotel guys and asked them to get the door opened . We were shocked to find her in an unconscious state. We admitted her in a near by hospital .She seemed to have taken some a pill which ended up in some bizarre reaction.I was getting late for my flight , still somewhere I was feeling bad for her . I cancelled my flight and stayed back .I stayed the whole night in the hospital and was alongside her, when she was getting her salines and injections.Next day when i woke up in the morning I saw her weeping on bed. I was sleeping on a chair. She was worried about her missed flight and her hospital expenses. I told her not worry, I payed her expenses and stuff and asked her to return me in India.She hugged me and said thanks .

We booked the tickets for next available flight . When we landed in Bangalore, she started weeping , holding my hands and hugged me . It was like a bonanza offer. Her parents came, she introduced me .Her father , mother and her younger sister started hugging me !! I guess she might have told them everything on phone. She took my number and they left to their home. And i returned to my place. After my dinner, i started re-collecting everything and started missing her. I felt bit shy and my shit ego stopped me from asking her number. Somehow I managed myself and slept. Exactly at around 11 pm , I got a call from her .I loved the moment. My adreline was rushing all through my body . We spoke for hours and this continued for few days at nights .We started going to movies .We were enjoying ourselves.I dint know it was love or something else, and i dint bother to think much .


One day she told me that she got a film offer in a regional film. She went to Chennai for a month shooting, then another film and then one more .We were speaking rarely on phone not even our usual good morning , good nite text msgs. I tried calling her , but it seems to be busy everytime I call or her cell will be switched off .
After 3 months or so ,I heard that she became a popular heroine in southern (Indian) films. I felt she deserves whatever she is getting now. One day I got a mail forwarded by my friend with Subject line " A popular heroine's real life kissing photo". When I opened it , I was shocked to find my gal with some budding hero. After 2 days I got a call from her , I din pick . She tried continuosly but I din pick it . The next day I saw in a news channel that Nayanathara, a popular heroine has attempted suicide. I ran to their parents house to enquire about her. I was told that in film industry she got new friends and new habits like drugs and boozing. When she was in a semi conscious state guys in a rave party exploited her and took some inappropriate photos.


When she recovered i went to their house and met her. She started weeping and said sorry. And asked me why I still came to see her after all this. I told her only 3 words " I Love You" . She started weeping and hugged me.We spoke to our parents and got married. We went to goa for a holiday trip to take break from all the mess that happened. When I was in my hotel room sleeping in my bed, I realised someone was knocking my door. When I woke up I saw that she is not in the room, I went and opened the door . I realised it was the same house keeping guy whom I saw in malaysia. I asked him what was he doing here in Goa. He laughed and said "nice joke"...................


I realised that Im still in Malaysia counting days in my last week and that it was just a dream : -( :-( :-( :-(

The biggest blunder of my Life.... A small story :-(

I was returning from my office after a hectic day at work in my car at around 2 am. It was all dark around , still my coding issues are running in my mind. I was enjoying my super-high speed drive on the free high-way.I was almost drowsy , I wanted to jump on to my bed as soon as possible. I would have completed my work and returned earlier than that time if I had not spent most of the time with chats on phone, gtalk and orkut..... but it was a colourful day as the new lady in my team has finally agreed to come with me for a weekend movie. As I was thinking (dreaming ) of all this , suddenly a guy crashed onto my car and fell on the divider . By the time I could realise what was happening , my colleague cum room-mate, sitting in the back-seat started screaming, "He is Killed, lets move away...."

Without thinking anything i followed my frens words and drove fast. I was highly confused and my legs were shivering.Once I reached my home,I realised that the guy would be bleeding whole night on the road with no help. I did not want to be a coward and I was feeling restless , so left my fren and went back to the spot on another(my frens car ). Its all dark, the bike was on the middle of the road and the guy was banged onto the divider. I dragged the guy into my car and drove him to the nearest hospital which was some 10 kms away.

I told the Hospital authorities that i saw this guy bleeding on the road . They informed Police andt the guy had some life in his body.I could feel his pulse while dragging him . I left the place , without furnishing my true details ,at around 5 am. Once I reached my home, I found the guy's cell phone lying in the car, kept it safetly in my draw .

I was having mixed feelings , I din want that guy to die like that because of me, but I am also afraid what would happen if he survives and takes my name.On that day his cell was ringing continuosly , so many people were calling him and many msgs were flowing in. I could nt switch off the cell as it would give doubt to the callers. .Every time it vibrated my legs shivered faster than those vibrations.

In the night i grabbed the cell and started reading the messages . All messages are from a single number, it was from some, Thrishali .
6 a.m:"I will be near register office at 9 am" .....
8 am:"Don forget to bring the garlands"......
9 am: "I reached , where are you"....
10:55am: "Why you are not picking the call."....
11:55:" I am waiting for last 3 hrs , are u coming or not"............
3 pm:"So you finally showed your true colour, you scary cat, I am going back to my home"......
9pm: "It was my mistake to trust you, i am visiting doctor tomorrow for abortion".......

After 2 days , again I opened the inbox. Same gal's messages, "I trusted you more than myself, still you did it to me. Ok don marry me , but don run away like this. Speak to me, I need you, I cant tell about my abortion to anyone. I cant cry in front of anyone other than you." Just as I was reading through that mesage , tears were scrolling down my face. For no mistake of this guy the gal is mis-understanding him and she is in acute pain.

There was one more message from his younger bro or sis ,I guess. "Bro , why you are not picking calls.Last date for my exam fees is approaching and you have not done the online money transfer yet. Do it fast.Mom also wanted you to send money for monthly rations, nil balance, pleaze understand." After a week again I opened the inbox, the little bro (or sis ) spitting venom "Just because Mom said no to your love, you ditched us?? You know that we are surving here only with what you send,still???Ok your wish , thats it . Its all over.. For us you are dead and same with you I guess.." I could nt stop myself from weeping .I never hated anyone more than myself on that day.

Next day I went to hospital to enquire the guy's status . He was in Coma and on ventilators. I could nt control myself, I wanted to die . Someone is dying because of me and his close-ones are no where near. The only help I could do is inform his close-ones. I gathered my courage and called his bro and and his gal friend and informed about his accident and that I found his cell lying in the car only after a week. The gal came , wept like hell and I could nt show my face to her .After she went off ,then his Mom and younger bro came . They were shattered and I could nt control his mom . She was weeping holding the guy's legs.After a week the guy lost his battle on ventilators.I saw that his family got all the insurance amount and his hospital bills were all payed by his company.

After a year I approached the gal's parents through one of my uncles and soon our marriage was arranged. Just the day before our marraige the gal came and said she was aborted and told all the story. I held her hands and asked me to slap, she dint understand but I explained everything. She was silent for a while and then hugged me !
