Anubhav Returns

Night time.

Haseena: "I love you." Nahi nahi, bahut simple ho jaayega. "Ham dil ki gehraaiyon se tumse ye kehna chahte hain ki ham bahut mohabbat karte hain tumse." Nahi, nahi, uske sir ke oopar se jaayega. Waise bhi use hamari Urdu samajh nahi aati. Phir woh shudh Hindi mein mana kar dega toh hamare sir ke oopar se jaayega.

Haseena's phone rang. She picked it up.

Haseena: Hello.

Karishma: smiling* Aur bhayi, ho gaya tumhara taiyaari hamare bhaiyya ko propose karne ka?

Haseena: Nahi na!! *Pouts* Kal school ka farewell hai, Karishma, aur uske baad toh Anubhav Delhi chala jaayega apni padhaayi ke liye, lekin ham himmat hi nahi kar paa rahe hain, use propose karne ka!

Karishma: Kuch nahi! Ek lambi saans lena aur bol daalna! Jyada se jyada kya hoga?

Haseena: Kya hoga?

Karishma: Bhaiya mana kar denge *laughs*

Haseena: Karishma please!! Aisa mat bolo.

Karishma: Haan haan theek hai. Hamein pata hai ki aap hamare bhaiya ko bahut chahti hain, aur unhe paane ke liye jameen aasmaan ek kar sakti hain. Agar tum chaho toh ham bhaiya ko sachet kar dein? Ki unki life mein kya bawandar aane waala hai?

Haseena: Aisa kuch bhi kiya na Karishma, toh tumhe hamari kasam hai. Anubhav ko tum iss baare mein ek shabd nahi bologi. Jo bolna hai, jab bolna hai, ham bolenge.

***************

Fast forward to 10 years later. Haseena had accomplished her dream of becoming a police officer. She was the S.H.O of Mahila Police Thaana, Lucknow. Her father couldn't be happier. But, she still hadn't professed her love to Anubhav, despite many chances.

Anubhav's and Haseena's families were really close. Hamid and Aadarsh were close friends and so were Anubhav and Haseena. But, this friendship had taken a different turn over the years, at least for Haseena.

Tomorrow was a big day. Anubhav's family was returning to India from Berlin after 4 years. She was waiting to see Anubhav after a long time. Yes, in today's world people do stay connected with social media and calls but both our Anubhav and Haseena were busy people for whom their duty came first. They called each other only a handful of times in a year. And, Haseena wanted to call him more, but he would either not pick her calls or his phone would be busy.

Haseena had felt hurt when from the last three months. Anubhav was not contacting her or talking to her so enthusiastically. His interest level had considerably decreased. She was the only one dropping him messages to whom he would give one word replies after few hours or even days. She always used to be the first one to call him. And, again, most of her calls would go unanswered by Anubhav and he never tried to call back.

Haseena ignored all these things with thoughts that he was not obliged to talk to her because of two reasons. First, they weren't in a relationship, so he might not feel the need to. And, second, he might be really busy with his work lately and Haseena didn't want to appear clingy. Yeah, calling him twice a day even after being ignored and sending messages as soon as he would come online only to receive the responses after hours, is not at all clingy. Brain understands, but hearts never, do they?

But, finally, she was happy. Anubhav was finally coming to India and she could see him for real this time. She had promised to herself that she would really confess her feelings this time. But she knew her stuttering habit whenever she saw Anubhav. She smiled and hid her face in the pillow. The most interesting part about tomorrow was that Anubhav and his family was coming to ask Haseena's hand in marriage. It was all their fathers' plan. Hamid had seen the love in Haseena's eyes and had told Aadarsh to come back to India so that they could set their children up.
