Naman was still in these thoughts when the door bell rings.
It was his roommate & college time friend - Viren. Viren knew all about the
relationship of Naman and Sneha. He was with
Naman since the engineering days. He knew each and every bit of Naman.
In recent times Viren was one of the very few people who were there with Naman. It was Viren who was giving him the smiling moments these days even if that meant Viren had to make fun of himself. Viren knew that Naman is not at his usual best so he was trying everything to keep him busy by teasing him, irritating him or even fighting him.
Naman tried to avoid the eye contact him. Without saying anything
he gets back to his coffee and picks up the remote and increases the volumes of
the television. Viren understand the situation, taps Naman on the back and disappears
in his room.
After Viren disappears in his room, Naman again falls in
those thoughts of Sneha again.
Although Sneha was not there with Naman in the new city physically,
still she was always with him and watching the new city with Naman’s eyes and
description. Naman used to tell everything about the new city, new friends and
new happenings in the new world of his. On the other hand Sneha used to keep
Naman updated about his home town and his friend circle. They used to talk the
whole day over the phone, sms or chatting.
They also used to meet every time Naman visited his
hometown. In one such meet...
That was the thing Sneha was waiting for....she happily
accepted. Both of them decided to talk to their parents about it. Sneha was not
sure how her parents will react, she was little uneasy. Naman suggested that let
me talk to my parents first.
After reaching home, Naman talked to his dad. He told him
everything about Sneha and how it started.
Naman’s father was not really happy with the things and said
“Let me talk about it to your mom and other family members first”.
Naman's mom didn’t agree to Naman’s choice, not because she didn’t like Sneha but she had her own choice for Naman. After long heated discussion and few days of fight Naman convinced them. And because Naman did not wanted Sneha to face any heat he asked his parents to initiate the talk. For the happiness their son Naman’s parents agreed to do that. And they also did it.

After few days Naman got call from his brother. From him
Naman came to know that “mom-dad had gone to Sneha’s house with the marriage proposal
and her parents have rejected it. And dad is very upset. He is feeling let down.
Please call dad, he is very angry.”
Naman called his dad immediately and first thing his father
said “You fought with us for this?”
Naman said “Dad, let me talk to Sneha. There must be some
misunderstanding”
“If you still want to marry that girl, don’t show me your
face.” said Naman’s father.
Naman was shocked but he kept his calm and he decided to
first talk to Sneha and then think about the next step.
He called Sneha but she did not answer the call. He tried
again and again but no use. He also left messages, there was no reply. This continued for many days. Naman tried few
of Sneha’s friend but no one knew anything. Naman’s family also was angry with
him and no one was really talking to him except her sister.
After few months, Naman got to know that Sneha’s marriage is
fixed and she is getting married in few months. He broke down. He neither had
his love nor his family. He knew his
family is there for him always but he felt that he has hurt them for Sneha and
she did not even responded to any of his messages or calls. He felt cheated. As
if the pain of losing his love was not enough he also had to deal with his
family’s anger. Naman had never thought about losing either of Sneha or his
family but now he had none.
All of sudden, Naman comes back to his present, as his cell
phone starts ringing. It was some unknown number.
“Hello?”
“Naman, its me Sneha.”
“Sneha, where are you?”
“Naman, sorry I can’t talk much so just listen. I wanted to
give you so much of happiness and be happy with you but may be our destiny is
not such. I am sorry. Please forgive me, Bye”.
As soon as the phone hangs up, the music channel had a song on it....
“Dil hote jo mere seene mein do
Doosra dil bhi main tumhe deta todne ko”
Naman listened to it with tears in eyes.......
