Dedicated to Sindhuja who wanted me to write AnupRe story

A stage ....
A beautiful girl was playing piano in a soothing manner.A handsome boy came near her only to move his lips to produce beautiful music.


Wo rang bhi kya rang hai
Milta na jo tere honth ke rang se hubahu
Wo khusbu kya khusbu
Thehre na jo teri saanwli julf ke rubaru

Tere aage ye duniya hai finki si
Mere bin tu na hogi kisi ki bhi
Aab ye jahir sare aam hai, ailaan hai
Jabtak jahan me subah shaam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu
Jabtak jahaan mein mera naam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu
Jabtak jahan me subah shaam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu
Jabtak jahaan mein mera naam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu
Uljhan bhi hoon teri
Uljhan ka hal bhi hoon main
Thoda sa jiddi hoon
Thoda paagal bhi hoon main
Barkha bizli, baadal juthe
Juti phulon ki saugaate
Sachchi tu hai, sachcha main hoon
Sachchi apne dil ki baten
Daskhat hathon se hathon pe karde tu
Na kar aankhon pe palkon ke parde tu
Kya ye itna bada kaam hai, ailaan hai
Jabtak jahan me subah shaam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu
Jabtak jahaan mein mera naam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu

The viewers were engrossed in the beautiful music.They can't get enough of their favourite piano player and the favourite singer.The singer is incomplete without the piano player and the piano player is incomplete without the singer.They are none other than Anurag and Prerna.


Jabtak jahan me subah shaam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu
Jabtak jahaan mein mera naam hai
Tab tak mere naam tu
Mere hi gheere mein ghumegi harpal tu aise
Suraj ke gheere mein rahti hai dharti jase
Payegi tu khudko na mujhse judaa
Tu hai mera aadha sa hissa sadaa
Tukde kar chahe khabo ke tu mere
Tutenge bhi to rehme hai wo tere
Tujhko bhi to ye ilhaam hai, ailaan hai(Zero).

After they got applause from the audience a girl came and hugged them.
It was none other than Kamolika.
Kamo:It was magical..pure bliss.
Prerna:The whole world may be praising us.But your compliment is the most special Kamo.
Kamo:That's so sweet of you my darling sister.

Anurag:Only your sister is sweet?
Kamo:No my best friend.You are the sweetest.
They all giggled.
Prerna and Kamolika are sisters and since childhood their best friend is Anurag.In fact Anurag Prerna and Kamolika are bet friends.
Kamo:I think we need to celebrate this success.A party is a must.
Prerna:Cool.
Anurag:Done.

Kamolika was applying lipstick on her lips.Suddenly Prerna rang her up:Kamo...where are you?You are so late?
Kamo:I am sorry Priyu.My NGO work got over late.So just now only I got ready for the party.I am going to start now.
Prerna:Ok.

Kamolika reached the destination.It was dark.
Kamo:Why is it dark here?Anurag and Priyu said that the success party will be here.
Suddenly the lights were put on.Kamolika's face got brightened.
Anurag Prerna ..Anurag's sister Nivedita and her fiance Anupam screamed:Happy birthday Kamolika...
Kamolika was surprised.They hugged her.
Kamo:Oh no....how did I forget my birthday?
Prerna:These days you are so absent minded that you forgot your own birthday.
Kamolika smiled.
Anurag:That's why we called you here for the success party.Actually it is not any success party but your birthday party Kamo.
Kamolika smiled:I am lucky to have such good friends.
They all smiled.
Kamolika cut cake while they all sang birthday song for her.


Kamolika fed the cake to all of them.




They celebrated Kamolika's birthday and had lots of fun.












At home...

Prerna saw Kamolika ringing up someone.
Prerna:Kamo..is everything alright?You look worried.
Kamo:Nothing like that Priyu.Chill.

Prerna:Will you lie to your sister who is your best friend?

Kamolika became dull.
Prerna:Say Kamo.
Kamo:Priyu...you know that I love someone.
Prerna:Ya.
Kamo:But these days I feel he is avoiding me.He is avoiding my phone calls.I am scared whether he does'nt love me and my love will end up as a one sided love.
Prerna:Don't think too much Kamo.Who can avoid my sweet sister?He may be busy with his work.That may be the reason he is not attending your calls.
Kamo:I hope so.

Kamolika was thinking something.
Kamo:Priyu may be right.He may be too busy to talk to me.Not because he does'nt love me.I may be over reacting,


It was raining....
Anurag was enjoying the rain.Prerna smiled seeing it.She joined him.
Slowly they swayed to the music of dance romantically.


Pal ek pal mein hi tham sa gaya
Tu haath mein haath jo de gaya
Chalun main jahaan jaaye tu
Daayein main tere, baayein tu
Hoon rut main, hawayein tu
Saathiya...

Hansu main jab gaaye tu
Roun main murjhaaye tu
Bheegun main barsaaye tu
Saathiya...

Saaya mera hai teri shakal
Haal hai aisa kuch aajkal
Subah main hoon tu dhoop hai
Main aaina hoon tu roop hai
Yeh tera saath khoob hai
Humsafar...

Tu ishq ke saare rang de gaya
Phir kheench ke apne sang le gaya
Kahin pe kho jaaye chal
Jahaan ye ruk jaaye pal
Kabhi naa phir aaye kal
Saathiya...

Ek maange agar sau khwaab doon
Tu rahe khush, main aabad hoon
Tu sabse juda juda sa hai
Tu apni tarah tarah sa hai
Mujhe lagta nahi hai tu doosra

Unknowingly their lips met each others.


They became shy.

Pal ek pal mein hi tham sa gaya
Tu haath mein haath jo de gaya
Chalun main jahaan jaaye tu
Daayein main tere, baayein tu
Hoon rut main, hawayein tu
Saathiya...

Hansu main jab gaaye tu
Roun main murjhaaye tu
Bheegun main barsaaye tu
Saathiya...(Jalebi).

Anurag:Prerna..I think we need to tell Kamolika about our love.
Prerna:We will tell her once her love life gets settled.Now she seems to be disturbed.She doubts that the person she loves does'nt love her.
Anurag:Did she tell you who he is?
Prerna:Not yet.After they confess love she will tell me who he is.
Suddenly her phone rang.Prerna picked up the phone.
It was Kamolika who was driving the car:Priyu..it's me.

Prerna could hear her sobbing.
Prerna:Kamo..if everything alright?
Kamolika burst into tears:Everything is finished Priyu,Today I realized that the person I love does'nt love me.He loves someone else.Mine is one sided love.
Prerna was shocked.
Kamo:I don't even feel like living.
Prerna got scared.
Prerna:Kamo...just calm down...we will discuss peacefully at home.Anurag and I are coming.
Suddenly Kamolika realized that because of her careless driving a truck is coming her way.
Prerna and Anurag heard a huge sound.They screamed realizing that Kamolika met with an accident:Kamoooooooooooo.....

Kamolika was hospitalized.The doctor declared that she has paralyzed.Kamolika can see and hear,but cannot respond.
Anurag Prerna,Prerna-Kamolika's parents Rajesh Veena and Anurag's parents Moloy-Mohini who considered Kamolika as their own daughter,Nivedita Anupam shed tears beyond a limit.

Nivedita tried to console Anurag and Prerna.
Prerna:How can we bear this?
Nivedita and Prerna remembered how they both enjoyed with Kamolika in the swimming pool.






Anurag remembered how Kamolika and Prerna danced around him like Paro and Chandramukhi during last Diwali for fun.

Dola Re Dola Re Dola Re Dola
Haye Dola Dil Dola Mann Dola Re Dola

Lag Jaane Do Najariya, Gir Jaane Do Bijuriya
Bijuriya, Bijuriya, Gir Jaane Do Aaj Bijuriya
Lag Jaane Do Najariya, Gir Jaane Do Bijuriya



Baandhke Maein Ghunghroo
Pehenke Maein Paayal


Oh, Baandhke Maein Ghunghroo
Pehenke Maein Paayal
Ho Jhoomke Naachoongi Ghoomke Naachoongi
Dola Re Dola Re Dola Re Dola...



Anurag pouted seeing how these 2 mad girls were treating him as Devdas.


They both laughed at him.

Dekho Ji Dekho Dekho Kaisi Yeh Jhankaar Hai
Inki Aankhon Mein Dekho Piyaji Ka Pyaar Hai

Inki Aawaaz Mein Haye Kaisi Thanadaar Hai
Piya Ki Yaadon Mein Yeh Jiya Beqaraar Hai
Anurag really enjoyed their dance.
Maathe Ki Bindiya Mein Voh Hai
Palkon Ki Nindiya Mein Voh Hai
Tere To Tan Mann Mein Voh Hai
Teri Bhi Dhadkan Mein Voh Hai

Choodi Ki Chhan Chhan Mein Voh Hai
Kangan Ki Khan Khan Mein Voh Hai
Baandhke Maein Ghunghroo
Haan, Pehenke Maein Paayal
Ho Jhoomke Naachoongi Ghoomke Naachoongi
Dola Re Dola Re Dola Re Dola...(Devdas).The memories made them more upset and it led to more tears.

3 months passed...

Prerna:The doctor said that love and care will bring back Kamo to life.
Anurag:We are giving her love and care.
Prerna:But Kamo will recover only if she gets love and care from the person she loves.
Anurag:But he loves someone else.
Prerna:I don't care.For my Kamo I can bring him to her at any cost.If he comes she will recover for sure.

Anurag:But how will he find out who he is?
Prerna:We will check her room.
Anurag:Good idea.

Anurag and Prerna searched Kamolika's room.Prerna opened the drawer and found a photograph.
She took it and looked at it.She could not believe her eyes.
