She closed her
eyes and again felt the same tussle in her heart! Yes being a girl she knew she
has to do a lot especially in India. She would have to learn how to behave, eat,
sleep, drink, study and why? Not because she has a future to breed and develop
just because she is a bharti nari and at the end of the day has to serve her family,
give birth to children and a boy baby is a must in the list!!
So everything
leads to marriage right! Kaire was little different from the lot. She always
wanted to see her extreme! People said she was crazy but her best bud Ram had a
different way of looking into the whole scenario. He was quite sure that Kaire
was not crazy but a free bird!
Years passed
Ram and Kaire hardly met post their schooling , they both moved to two
different directions, Kaire did her studies to enhance her resume for marriage
and Ram chased his dreams , Kaire always celebrated her life and called for a
toast but hardly anyone in her entire clan or would use a better word
"family" knew her actually . She was pretentious and brave, kind at
heart and little rough when she uses to lose her cool. But then as always said
nothing is perfect and so was Kaire!
Kaire always
did what her mind commanded, not that great with expression or indeed Kaire was stupid! Not
that smart to cheat and hurt. Way simple in her own complex word of love, live,
forget, forgive! And Ram was strange to his own world generous, smart, and
hardworking and had patience.
It’s
often said that life is just not bed of roses and these two old friends met
each other in the very same old way! When they met, they met for different
purpose not to enjoy or cherish but as the robotic world climbs on seeking need
based help. Ram had called Kaire for a help, but she rarely knew that this help
would turn her world upside down …. Take her through the roller coaster of her
life time!!
Kaire
and Sham was happy couple! Saw each other with hopeful eyes and were purposeful
in life!! Sham found it a little difficult to the way Kaire was, she believed
in making one person her world! Seek for Sham shoulder every night and wait for
him still he finishes his party! She did not count starts nor wanted moon. She
was hungry for love and care! Her heart was a tender sheep and her brain was a
loud lion. Sham was a beautiful person but was not unique like her, lived in
his own shell of yes-no, good-bad, must-not, perfect-nasty and explored Kaire
in his own doom. But for Kaire, sham exploring was enough, till death.
Sham
was happy man and trusted on Kaire, more than his life! More than him and on
those words went overseas for research! Kaire was lost now, looking at the fact
that Sham has left, made her sad; she had lot of acquaintances but no friends
as she never felt the need of one and she found herself to be up against the
cruel world. She kept on waiting... Waiting for Sham and hopeful and delightful
but felt void inside!! Empty and restless!! Hopeful but senile!! Tear always
ran when she thought about Sham and seldom had she spoken to him as Sham was
now busy in his new word!
Kaire
was now lonely! Ram and Kaire did know each other from long, but hardly met,
this time she called Ram for a small favor. She requested him to spend some
time as she was hallow inside and was dying to meet a friend. Ram was
supportive, active and caring, the moment he heard that Kaire needs him rushed
off to her and there is when Kaire thinks it started.
Day
and night they started sharing and caring , felt each other’s pain , need for
care , life of love and knew were team .
Ram
and Kaire were standing on the edge of Delhi. Kaire “Ram you know what tomorrow
is Saturday, you know let us go to Haridwar!! “ Ram was quite surprised but had
a lion heart “well I can, will you be able, and it’s not a joke! And also we do
not have money …” “come one Ram, let’s not think let us just do it, and why Haridwar,
let’s go to Mussorie” Said Kaire with spark in her eyes, since Sham had left her
life was too dull to sustain. Ram with under confidence said “we can, but if
you want to we have to leave right away “Kaire being equally crazy said” Yes!!
Hurry! Let’s do it!!
On
their Activa , without bag packs or cloths to change the two left for Mussorie
325 Kms from Delhi and drove to live , felt the air , burn of the Sun ,
Beautiful Sun set to the shine of moon , villagers trying to sleep at 7 pm ,
lonely rods, huge trucks to the best view of Dheradun at night 12 from Mussorie
! They had the best time in their life, and tried to understand each other.
From that day Kaire and Ram become need of each other, to eat they needed each
other to fight; they had each other to cry they had each other’s shoulder and
to learn they had to protect each other …
Ram
was now simply into Kaire and she was ignored for the fact that Sham has been
lost in long pages of her eventful amazing life. Her life was perfect!! As
beautiful as morning sun!!
The
door bell rings, Kaire rushes to open and had prepared a prank for Ram! She
wanted to scare his skeleton out of his body; she opened and saw Sham... Right there
in front of her …!! To Rams surprise she was not sad but rather happy to see Sham!
She hugged him hard and kissed in passion!!
Ram
was disturbed, because he knew where this was going and withdraw himself apart.
He was scared of the pain of losing Kaire. And Kaire was in her own dream land,
annoyed by Rams negligence and his behavior and convinced him to be like what
she loved.
It
was a beautiful morning for Sham, as he asked Kaire to marry him. All excited
and prepared for her next step Kaire said a yes and ran bare foot to tell it to
Ram! Ram after hearing such good news could not react as per Kaire’s thought
process and went into a shock. Now he knew that she was going, going far-far-far
away and could not imagine his life without her!
Time
passed and Kaire and Sham got married, Kaire left Ram! Ram was devastated,
shattered but still had blessing in his hearth for her and smiled and let her go!
Kaire went to her new world and started living her way
But
Alas! Kaire was not aware that Ram was what she used to breath, sit, eat, sleep,
roam, smile, cry, and dress. Kaire misses Ram but was unsaid inside
She
wishes to go to a time machine and live her life again with Ram but that is
what happened in Disney land not in real world. Kaire finally realized that
when she raised the toast it was Ram who said cheers! And not the Glass was
again empty, without the clinch, sound of togetherness missed. Thinking she
turned and saw Sham, reflected what she had always prayed for and to a sweet
perception, she had everything but still was not happy and satisfied. It took
her someday to get back to normal because this time neither was she betrayed
not hurt, she had lost her best friend “a loss which could never be recovered
ever” .She missed them laugh, fight, care, demand, expect, adventure,
discussions and the brilliant time spent. Kaire is rough and she knows she will
make it to end but will always curse God to leave a void in her heart! She is
married and bounded but her heart is still free to love more and pray more everyday
