"Holy shit!!! " Manik Instinctively bent forward to catch Nandini in time before she collapsed on the grass. Neel stood dumbstruck. In time he too bent down to lend Manik a helping hand. While Manik held Nandini, Neel grabbed a chair and together they placed her in the chair.
Neel was nervous. He didn't know what to do. Apart from Manik there wasn't anyone else there.
"I should call her family." Neel started dialling chachi's number. Manik snatched the phone from his hand.
"Are you nuts? You are not planning to keep her in this condition till her family arrives an hour later, do u? we have to take her to the hospital right now. And besides they will be worried if they see her like this."
Neel saw sense in what Manik said. "U r right. Yes, we should take her to the hospital. Let me bring my car, will u b with her till then."
"You go ahead, start the ignition, let me carry her. We can't waste time." And in one gentle stride, he picked her up in his arms, the silken strands of her hair brushing against him. He looked at her face, her closed eyes... one single drop of tear sparkled at the corner of her right eye. If innocence had a face, perhaps it would look exactly like the one he was carrying. Her long sequined dupatta fell on the ground. Manik noticed. What he also noticed was how a swar of fireflies surrounded them from nowhere.
Manik pushed her very carefully in the back seat of Neel's car and asked him to take her to the hospital. He said he would follow in his car. Manik ran back to the lawn in search of Nandini's red and black dupatta. Red and black..the same colours he loved.
Note: It was Nandini's engagement with Neel and in an ideal scenario they should have been celebrating now, happy and gay. Instead Nandini was unconscious and Manik was carrying her to the hospital, both unaware of the reality and each other.
Dhoondhe har ik saans mein
Dubkiyon ke Baad mein
har Bhanwar ke Paas. kinare..
Beh rahe jo saath mein
jo humare khaas The
kar gaye apni Baat kinare..
gar maajhi saare saath mein gair ho Bhi jaayein
To khud hi to Patwaar Ban
Paar honge hum
jo Chhoti si har ik neher saagar Ban Bhi jaaye
koi Tinka Le ke haath mein dhoondh Lenge hum
kinaare. kinaare. kinare.
khud hi To hain hum. Kinaare.
kaise honge kam. Kinaare
hain jahaan hain hum. Kinare.
khud hi To hain hum. Kinare.
auron se kya khud hi se
Poochh Lenge raahein
Yahin kahin maujon mein hi
Dhoondh Lenge hum
Boondon se hi to hain bani
Baandh Lenge Leherein
Pairon Tale jo Bhi mile
Maan Lenge hum, Kinaare.
No matter how directionless life is, eventually we would find our own shores.. A star smiled somewhere.
