“Hello” He
whispered.
She was not in
condition to speak out any word, she not wants to disturb him at this
time. every-time she oaths to not call him for any reason, not to
make him worry for any condition, and she busted it every-time.
“Hello” He
whispered again.
“Hello” She
eventually replied
“Navya” “are
you”, “why are you calling me so late?”
he sounded worried as she had never before called at such an odd
hour.
“What could she
tell him, if she didn’t know herself why she was calling. It just
hit her that she needed to hear his voice. There were some days, some
moments, some very precious moments, when she missed him more than on
others. When she needed him more. The days when she cried more. The
day when she wants to be in his laps, the day when she need him more
than any other day. Today was one of them. Being so far from each
other in each sense had made things so much complicated. But could
she tell him that? Would he understand? Did he feel the same? Or did
he get over that?”
“Navya”,
“what happened, why are you crying? Is everything okay?”
No, nothing was
okay at her end, she is feeling him, deeply in any nook of her heart,
she wants to say, “just I need you for this very moment”, merely
love is like a wind, you can't see it
but you can feel it deeply, its like a moment once it's gone you
can't get it back, she thought to herself but whispered into the
phone that she was fine and just needed to hear his voice.
He smiled. At least
she felt he did. Even after all those long years she still could
sense things about him, could feel him, after such a long, they
understood, still they need each, this time they need more.
“It is so good
to hear your voice Abhi. It sounds so sweet”. In
the other corner of the world she smiled back at him, at the corner
of other world, he smiled for her.
“Still, Navya,
why you called? Anything happened?”
he kept asking. She had no idea why she had called him up. Maybe it
was just a habit. Whenever she felt down she used to call him.
Three years ago
when her sister run from home with some soon-to-be-a model and
model-tuned actor, who never had become neither a soon-to-be nor be a
Actor. Her sister was 18.
Two years ago when her mom got into
hospital and had to undergo a surgery. One year ago when her dad
died, six month ago when things had gone terribly wrong and she
didn't know how to deal with them.
Each time when she
was drowning in the ocean of troubles the final and only redemptive
resolution was to call him. And he always had been there for her.
Shedding her tears, giving support, handling her with utmost care.
Nothing had changed and yet everything did. She couldn’t explain it
this time. She just felt this urge to call him tonight.
“You know, I
dreamt about you last night”, she
said.
“It
sounds funny, and that you called tonight, I have been thinking about
you all day long”, he replied.
In two different
parts of the world two souls were connected through more than just a
phone but an invisible line that was so easy to be broken but yet it
seemed impossible for the both of them. They both listened to the
silence for a while wondering about what the other might be thinking
right now. Both seemed to enjoy this peaceful precious moment they’ve
got. One of the moments you never want to end.
He interrupted the
blissful silence.
“My girl is in the
next room, Sometimes I wish she was you” he said
“Does she know you
still talk to me?” She asked.
“She wouldn't like
it” does he have any idea?”
“Not sure if I
should tell him”
And again the
silence settled. But this one was different. Silence of regrets and
unexpressed emotions.
“I guess we never
really moved on”, he said.
“I guess we did
not” she replied.
They were apart and
yet they were together. Worlds apart with one thin line which
connected them. The thin line of a short life span when they were
happy together. Then they had made a decision. A wrong one. One wrong
decision which will haunt them till the end of their lives. They know
it. And they live with it. And she will keep calling him because
those two minutes talks once in a while is the only thing they have
left. And he is talking with her, with same love, with same
expression and probably with her same queen, he know the one natural
fact “Women needs man more than Man needs woman”. They talked,
Once in a while, and for a couple of minutes.
