You're My Favourite Surprise(COMPLETED)

🌿Chapter-13🌿

Third person pov:
Six years later...
Abhi has completed his masters in economics from university
Finally he came home and also India after six long years...During all these years he never once visited his country afraid to face his own surroundings where memories haunt him...Often his parents used to visit him twice a year.
After sashi left him in darkness..He didn't do drugs nor did he try to kill himself...But he pushed his ownself far away from him..He pushed away her thoughts,her image in his mind,her smile resonating in his ears,her everything..He buried deep inside his heart and sealed her so that they never come out...During this whole process,he lost his own personality...He lost himself...Every time he remembers her,he used to divert his mind...He buried himself in books..He topped both his bachelor's and master's.. Finally arrived India today..To face his biggest fear...Sashi...

Abhi pov:
Soon after reaching home...We had lunch..Not wasting any time I directly went to sashi home...And stood in front of the door..Afraid to knock...A part of me is anxious to see how she is?Will she recognise him?The surroundings are dead silent and only sound I am hearing is my own heartbeat...Finally taking a long breath I knocked the door and waited.. There was no response..I hit the calling bell..Still no response...May be her parents are sleeping..I must come in the evening..I was about to return just then I heard a voice...My heart skipped a beat..I turned slowly to face him..And I didn't recognize the person..He is not her father and not her brother..I asked.."Sashi...I mean sasikala..Used to stay here..I mean 6 years back..I am her friend..My name is abhi."I don't even know her father's name..
He is staring at me with blank expression.."Sorry sir..I have been in this house for two years and I don't know the person you are mentioning..."
I asked"can I know who stayed before you?"
He replied"there used to be a family..ramanandam is his name..He is working for LIC"
A small hope entered my heart..May be this ramanandam may know where my sashi is.."do you know where their family shifted to?"I enquired with pleading eyes..
And he said"no sir..We lost in contact..But I used to have his number..May be you can contact him" and he gave a number.
I thanked him and came out of the house...Giving a one last glance where my love stayed... Immediately I dailed the number..To my utter disappointment.."The number is currently not on service"...Came the reply.
Nothing to do..I came home.night after the dinner,dad asked me what are my future plans..How can I tell him my immediate plan is to search sashi..So I told that I want to travel and take a break..After three months,I will tell you my decision...
He nodded and said"son!I know something is bothering you..Is there anything I can help?"
I declined politely.."okay then,decide ...whatever you want to do in life... Remember..We will be with you..always"he assured me.
That night I couldn't sleep..I am 25 now..That means she will be 23.(abhi is one year older to his batch..He joined school late and sashi is a year younger for her batch) may be her parents are searching partner for her..To the worst..She may be married..The thought itself is churning my heart...No no abhi...Think positive..No such thing will happen..With her thoughts clouded in my mind,I slept...
Next morning while bathing,I was thinking about her..Once while we were talking about places to travel..She told that her favourite place was kodagu(coorg)..She went once in her childhood...She told that with the money she earned,her first trip will be to coorg...I smiled remembering her words..I decided to go to coorg..A long road trip..On my bullet...May give e peace of mind...
With that I packed my clothes and necessories,informed my dad and annayya(elder brother) and started my journey...
     It took nearly 2 days to reach there...Finally... Travelling alone on lushgreen roads..With bike as my only companion.. Meeting new people...Having food at roadside dhaba.. having evening snacks and streaming hot ginger tea..Resuming journey...I travelled all over kodagu... Beautiful sceneries,waterfalls,tea gardens along the hill slopes,nature beauty at its peaks...New traditions,new language,new food everything seemed too good...Did some refreshing things like tracking,skydiving,deep diving,boat riding... Everything are kicked off my bucket list...Finally I arrived to Mangalore...Next destination is chikmangalore.
     Resumed my journey in the afternoon to feel some sea breezes.. Suddenly my eyes fell on a movie poster...It's been a very long time since I went to a movie...It's anyway time for matnee..So after having lunch I went to a theatre where arjun reddy movie is about to begin..Only theatre in Mangalore playing Telugu movie..theatre is almost full...I managed to get second class tickets...
     I entered the theatre it's almost filled with men..Very few girls are seated here and there..The movie begun...Soon at the entrance of the lead vijay devarakonda...A group of girls got up...On top of their seats and started shouting throwing papers,whistling..And dancing at the screen...They are seated at the starting rows..fews rows before mine..People are passing comments on them and they are replying to them in satirical tone...
    Then the theatre went silent...As the movie proceeded,there came scenes with kisses...The girly batch again got up and started counting actually shouting one..Two..three...This went on...
    The management of theatre were very angry and switched on lights...I stood up and soon spotted her...Sashi?dammit.man...She is sashi...I can barely recognize her..My heart stopped then and there...She is very beautiful and...Different?
   She is carefree, laughing..Has torn papers in one hand and one hand is showing numbers while counting numbers...Soon one girl among them whistled and asked the manager...Hey?Who are you to stop us?Don't we have freedom to enjoy?
    The manager shouted in anger..Are you girls?You shameless...Don't you know how to behave?This is a public place..
     "Why?If the same thing is done by boys...You will not have any problems..".Replied sashi with oozing confidence....
    My head started to spin..my heart started drumming..Omg!!Am I dreaming Or what?I started to think...Finally the fight subsided and they said..."Teekh h dadaji...Ham phir se nai karenge..."in dramatic way
    From then they enjoyed and shouted but not so loud...I couldn't concentrate on the movie...My eyes always went to that girl...I still couldn't believe what happened in front of my eyes...I tried getting up to look at her..But the people behind my seats stopped me...I patiently waited for the movie to complete...
     Soon after completion I quickly came out and spotted girl gang...There she is..Her back is facing me...Wearing a purple kurthi and jeans.. her hair was as usual long and braided...Some of the hairstrands are falling on her face and swinging lightly due to breeze...How lucky those strands are!!!I thought
      She wore lot of metal bangles tinkling now and then as she moved her hands... Gathering all my courage I started to walk towards her..All of a sudden,it started raining...All the people started running to nearby shelter..In all the chaos,I lost her again...I tried searching her around theatre and found no traces of her and her gang...
       God!!!How can I lose her again?I raked my hand  through my hair..I was mad,agitated and finally frustrated.  She came to my life just as lightning.. appeared Suddenly...even Before meeting..She disappeared...Sashi..You can't go faraway from me....I will definitely get you!!!
