Waiting For Forever

You Me And...!

Prompt : Briefing the end shown in KUDCA with a musical one shot.

~ Sapna Jahan, Dastak na de
Chaukhat thi vo, aakhein meri.~

Uday couldn't believe that one month has passed and he is living a dream like life with Vashma in Bombay. His Vashma - Conscious, bubbly and lively Vashma. The girl he fell for, the girl he held on, the girl he fought for and the girl he craved so much. She's with him. Living a dream - an incomplete one. For there's no Kabir.

~Baaton se thi tadaad mein
Khamoshiyan zyaada meri~

Sometimes Vashma and Uday get silent while speaking non stop because the realisation stricke them bad. He wasn't there when she was pregnant. He wasn't there when she gave birth to Kabir. He wasn't there when she alone ran for Kabir's life, he wasn't there when she fought the cruel destiny. He wasn't there -- he wasn't -- when - when she found Kabir.

"Uday!" Vashma called as he was thinking all this. Her voice brings him out of the dark every time.

~Jabse pade tere kadam
Chalne lagi duniya meri~

"Ha bol na." He held onto her hands and made her sit beside him. Uday can't imagine his life without her. He has left behind Kabir for his good but he can never leave Vashma for she's the prove Uday sounds good. If today  He's sane, if he's capable of dealing with every heartbreak, every aristocracy of life - it's her. His Vashma. The sole reason of his existence. After spending such a great deal of time with Kabir, it was tough for both of them to come out of it, and they still haven't they know. But the strength to change the city and come out more stronger is because uday and Vashma were together.

"Uday. Mujhe bitha kar fir soch me pad gaya?" Vashma snapped her fingers in front of his eyes and giggled.

"Oye nahi. Bas soch raha tha ki tu nahi hoti to mai kya karta." Uday faintly smiled.

"Umm... Sadaa sa muh bana ke kisi maidan me hockey khel raha hota. Aur mere na hone ka gussa kisi or par nikaal raha hota. Haina?" She raised her eyebrows and told him dramatically.

"Kuch bhi mat bol." Uday said eyeing her.

"Kyun. Abhi pichle hafte ki baat lele. Camp me tera practice match dekhne me zara si kya late hogyi. Tune pura maidaan sar utha lia tha." She made him remember the nuisance he created like a kid.

"Haa...vo!.." uday wanted to give a justification and struggled to form words "mai..mai darr gaya tha ke meri Vashma kaha reh gayi. Kuch.. kuch ho jata to."

"Mujhe kya hona hai?" She slipped her hand behind the neck and forced Uday towards her.

"Hona bhi nahi chahiye. Jo din maine tere bina kaate hain, mai vo dobara jeena bhi nahi chahta oye." Uday panicked but she kissed his forehead.
"Mai bilkul thik hu. Tere saamne, teri baaho mein. Humesha ke liye." Vashma stated a fact he could hardly believe. Uday hasn't come to terms with his life and destiny.
Even after so many trials and tribulations they came together no matter what. It feels like a Jigsaw puzzle of a fairytale. Some pieces are missing and those which are in place - Uday can never let them go.
