The Lantern Girl -#MiniOS
...
Heyy guys , I am writing another mini os upon request of tinu on previous minios... please padhkar sabhi Zaroor batana ki kaysa laga...enjoy :) !...
" I always fantasize about a girl who is living my colony...our colony has only 3 couple of houses...and her house is just separate from all trio. Yes...we live in a semi urban area , not in any big town...I always wander how she lives in a silent house...yup...she lives alone...Her name is like butterflies in skies...I liked lot... people call her Purvi...when I am 17 only I always stares at her house and try to understand how she spents all day in this huge separate house...
Her house is at the end of the colony ...there is a massive bush and a paddy field in front of her house... In Diwali time when all colony enjoy firecrackers , I stares at her window...she reads in candellight...we are of same age...yup...but not same school... actually I don't know anything much about her except she lives in my neighbour. Oneday just by curiosity , I goes near the paddy field of her house...I heard a weird piano tune...it's not at all weird...it's like someone plays her life through piano chord...more I listen more I feel uncomfortable... I run away..."
" No... I don't have crush on her...but I don't know ...I always want to talk with her...but still today I never be able to talk with her. ..in my dreams , she is a mystery girl... mystery girl purvi...who is her mom dad ? I don't know... How she lives ? I don't know...Why she merely comes out of her house ? I don't know...yes...I only know she is a cute girl who ties hairband on her hair... And I secretly like that ..."
Some years passed...
Still She becomes mystery near to me.
I admitted In a big college. I performed quite well in my boards.. so my family decided to shift to nearby town and it's easy for my dad also as he works in a bank near office. The day when my mom.came and told me that we will be shifted , I feel bad that I will miss my small colony...more than this it's really worse that I didn't get a scope to talk with her...yes...I want to talk with her...it's my ...leave it...finally the day arrived , the day we were shifted.
All colony Members came and gratitude my parents and wishes for our next life...many of them present flowers and others ..my mother distribute her favourite Motichoor ladoo , she was expert in this...but that time I was in another world...I just stared at that big house...
Abhijit :- wo kyu nahi aayi ?
Is she doesn't know me even ? Is she doesn't know even I exist ?
I said my dad ...dad please wait for somewhile , I have to do something thereafter we can leave...My dad allowed me to go...
I ran away near the paddy field... The same tune...the same piano tune...it's really werid ...
It's like ...
" Ummm..u...ummmm..u...ummm...
Ummm..u...ummmm.. u...ummmm.."
Though, I collected courage and went to their house...banged on her door...
Door opened...
"Yaaaa...she is really cute...She ask me what need ? I said , hey I am your neighbour...I will shift to town...so I came to say you bye bye...she smiles and say best of luck...I really fell for her Smile...I can't say anything that time... unknowingly , I gifted my most expensive pen to her...hey ..I wanted to gift you the pen .. please accept it...she smiles and accepted and says thankyou..."
I left...she closed the door ..our conversation was very limited...I didn't know how I got courage to talk to her...but somehow it's feel strange because she was so calm like a dead body... although , I was happy that ultimately I talked to her.
We left...
2 years passed. I graduated from my course. I got a job of CID Officer at Mumbai.
After joining , some months passed very pleasantly...
After few months , a girl joined us...all welcome her...
I was surprised...
It's youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
Purviiiiiiiii !!!!!.
She smiles to see me...
From that day , I worked with more enthusiasm... I don't know why ! But when I saw her I got extra energy and more dedication... Soon I promoted to Senior Inspector post...She is my junior...we worked together...
But she was very very very less talkative...
So everyone calls Her " Western Wind ".
She was still Mystery. She didn't tell us where she ultimately leaves . After BEUREAU hours she didn't join us even for a party or something...
Daya , shreya my other two besties didn't like her and said to me...
" Kitna ghamandi ladki hain ! Baat bhi nahi karti..."
" Rahne do daya sir use...hum teeno kaafi hain maje karne ke liye. Let's party!!!!"
But I always stares her path... I don't know whether I am gradually fall for her..
One day I noticed , the pen ..I gave to her ..I was so happy ..she still used my pen...yehhh...I think she really liked it...
So , I tried to make friendship with her...
I always went everywhere where she went...
Oneday she asked me out for dinner... I was became very happy... finally a girl asked me out ! " Thank you God ! Aakhirkar Abhijit tera bhi time aa gaya..."
We boarded on a car...she drove with pin drop silence... I felt akward...I asked where we were going...
She didn't reply...
After an hour , we reached to her weird house...yes...that house...that colony...
I was shocked...
" Hey why we were here ? Weren't we going to eat in some good restaurant ? Wasn't it a date ?"
She calmly said " follow me.".
She took me to the paddy field .
" Hey. . purvi ..hum yahan kya kar rahein hain..bolo bhi please..."
She calmly said all things... I was shocked...it's terrible story...
I was speechless...
She said Everyone thinks she was a bully... Her parents were brutally murdered on that house when she was little.. her grandparents were exhausted out when she was 14 years only...
Everyone says ,only because of her , everyone of her leave the earth...so she made her isolated from the entire world and lived in such a lonely house like a horror movie...
" Abhijit... I noticed...you were always curious about me...you made ways to talk to me ...I think you like me. "
I was speechless... I didn't say anything.. I didn't know what to reply and how to react...
" Abhijit...I know you still likes me...But please makes distance from me.. I didn't want your death because of me. "
" It's not your fault purvi... please forget... everyone underestimates you... Nothing like that..."
She smiles...
" Believe me ?"
I smiled ... " Obviously."
She invited me inside her house...we eat under candel light... She showed me how she played the weird piano...today I felt it's not weird... I didn't understand the pain of the tune...right now it's too sweet near to me...We played games...watched TV...we lit Lantern and watched "Jugnoo" in paddy field... I captured her beautiful photo in daddy field...I called it " The lantern girl "...I lit firecrackers...yes she didn't ever lit that...I am the first one who saw her that...she jumped like a kid of 5 years... I liked her smile.We dated ...after 2 years...we got married...and I am happy she got back her normal life after such tragedy.You know , I didn't fall in love with her before our marraige ..I was just curious...but now I love her more than me...She was ery talkative now... Blubbering... Shreya now became her bestie... I smiled to see that she enjoyed her life...
I noted all incident from first to last to a dairy...and purvi throws a dumble to me ...
" Abhijit...tabse bula rahi hoon khana khane...jaldi aao...warna mujhe gussa aa jayga..."
" Aa raha hoon meri maa...ruko..."
And now , I am reading our history...yes I missed her...she passed away last year... I am now live in that weird house...and tries to recollect our memory...
Kya baat hain na ? Jis gharmein ekdin main janese darta tha now it's my ...leave it...
I sit on piano...and plays the chord , that she played...the weird chord is now phenomenal to me...
It's lightning outside...I rushed outside...cloud gathers over the paddy field... I went with lantern and enjoy the late monsoon...
I open the dairy amid of Rain and let wet my diary pages in which I wrote our fantasy our life our death our fiction !
Batao yaar sabhi kaysa laga ! Please sabhi review Kardena... please na :'(Regards,
