“Thanks God. Almighty saved him.” Mr. Pintu said to Rishabh.
“What was after that?” Neelon requested to Rishabh.
“Dear Rishabh, Love itself a very difficult task. It is very difficult to maintain it. Sometime, it is very difficult if you don’t have any proper source. Sometime I think, I am very happy alone. I have no such strengths to fight and face any troubles.” Mr. Pintu said to Rishabh.
“Yes, may be some extent.” Rishabh replied to Mr. Pintu.
And after one week…………………..
“Brother, her one friend agreed to help me. I told her everything and about my trouble,” Rishu said to Rishabh.
“Rishu, I want to say you something,” Rishabh requested to Rishu.
“Yes brother.”
“Don’t think I am supporting you as your big brother. I even want your success. I even wish that you at least reached at your goal. Try to concentrate on your studies and career. Her family will even support you once you become established and a successful person and even she will support you more,” Rishabh replied.
“Yes Rishabh, you are right saying. I will try my best and it’s a promise,” Rishu promised.
Rishu was very tensed about his frustrated love life and the boy agreed to help Rishu, was a very clever and selfish one.
“Don’t take your love as primarily whenever you look at your goal. All are trying to reach their goal and even me trying too. Remember, you are not a single one. Our life is very critical. So, try to face each your moment. Don’t be a coward like me and move forward and make other happy. We need you,” Rishabh advised to Rishu.
“You are my world’s best brother,” Rishu commented.
“My pleasure.”
“Don’t make your love primary. Okay. Love your love more than yourself.”
“But Rishabh, I am very poor.”
“So what?”
“Who said you a poor. Never think yourself as a poor. You are rich by your heart and by mind and remember you are not the single one who is saying him self as a poor. We all are poor. Do you think, a rich can win the whole world? No doubt, he can win the whole world but he/she never win to stay at people’s heart and with their mind. It is very difficult to win over a heart.” Rishabh said to Rishu.
“Okay brother,” Rishu replied.
“Don’t have faith on yourself? Are you a fool? ” Rishabh asked to Rishu.
“He he he…..be cool…………..he he he.” Rishu was smiling.
“What?” Rishabh asked to Rishu.
“Brother Rishabh, I feel myself very dishearten whenever I think about my present, a dream of career and my love life. I am going very restless.” Rishu replied.
“Don’t think like that. Be strong. Even I think it sometime, but we can’t do any things once we dishearten.”
“But brother…”
“What happened now?” Rishabh asked to Rishu
“Nothing.”
“Oh no! Don’t feel shy brother. Let me know what happened?”
“Yes, I feel shy to explain,” Rishu replied.
“You don’t have to explain. I can understand your problem.”
“But how?” Rishu asked again.
“See Rishu, I even come of a very poor family and I know my limitations.”
“But, I was thinking differently,” Rishu replied.
“What? What differently?”
“I was thinking about my family.”
“Is there anything wrong brother?” Rishabh asked to Rishu.
“No brother. Nothing wrong and nothing to be worried but…………..”
“What? Let it clear…”
“I don’t know whether my family members support me or not,” Rishu said to Rishabh.
“Support on what brother?” Rishabh asked again to Rishu.
“Support on our relationship,” Rishu replied.
“Oh! You are very restless.”
“Oh My beloved god! Where are you? Please support your boy and save him. Save him for the sake of his family.”
“Brother, I have a few friends and no one elder brother. Only my parents and a little sweet sister,” Rishu explained to Rishabh.
“Don’t worry. God surely help you.”
“How can I share so much such sorrows? No one is there to listen.”
“Don’t worry Rishu. I am still alive. You can share it with me.”
“See Rishu, if there is no one to listen then share it with our Almighty. He is so kind. He is there to help us. Remember, we are his children. He even loved his own enemies. He will never stop loving you until you try to cross your limitations. But by Almighty, you can try to cross over your all limitations and boundaries for well being of others and for well being of a society.”
“Okay brother.”
“It was well said by you,” Mr. Pintu supported Rishabh.
“Don’t think so much about your life. Let it move like a clock. You are so young. You have a lot of time to make your own fortune. Never
avoid your self. Try to taste the sweetness of your sweet life. For well -being of others, a living entity can do anything. Remember, the needles of a clock never listen your words. It not even stopped working. You should hope for the best,” Rishabh replied.
The couple was happy with their love life. But we cannot trust any one. There was one more face that loved Anuska. Let’s see….
“What happen Rishu? Are you all right?” Rishabh asked to Rishu.
“I am not happy at all. What about you brother?” Rishu replied to Rishabh.
“Why? What happen again?” Rishabh asked to Rishu.
“ Everything was going fine. I approached her father. He came to know about our relationship. Someone disclosed him everything about our affair.”
“But how Rishu?”
“ We have exchanged so many love letters. That boy told every thing to her father about our relation, about our love letters and even outside meetings.”
“So cruel.”
“ But why?”
“I don’t know. He is now out of station. I am sure that he did it. I don’t know, why he did such a job.”
“Anyway, how is she? Did you meet her any more?” Rishabh asked to Rishu.
“It is being now not possible to meet her and on the other hand, she already stopped attending her regular classes,” Rishu said to Rishabh.
“Some of her friends told me that he too loves Anuska.”
“So what? Any one can like……….be cool.”
“Really sad for him,” Mr. Pintu commented.
“It is really very difficult to trust a person,”
“ But brother, I was innocent.”
“ I know it brother. You are! Let me think something. Be strong.”
“Do one think? Are you sure Anuska loves or likes that boy?” Rishabh asked again.
“I don’t know. Everything was going well. I met her more than six times and even she was happy with me but suddenly I got her changed attitudes………………..”
“I got confuse on one thing that I did not receive any single letter from Anuska. She always avoided such queries. It is going difficult to predict.”
“ As I heard from some reliable sources that her friends made some sympathy for me. She did not share such things. She suddenly changed her view. She did not even utter a single word whether she
Love me or not. She was looking so sad at our last meeting and was advising me to work more and achieve all my dreams. I just puzzled and was thinking about my fortune. Is love a curse? Why people make such relationship? Why we are addicted to love affair?”
“I already told you not to think so much about her.”
“Where he stays? You should visit his place” Rishabh requested to Rishu to visit.
“That boy already shifted to another city. He knew her all contact numbers also. I am feeling like remote sensing toys. She played a nice game with me.”
“Come to the truth first.” Rishabh said to Rishu
.
“No brother, I am very unlucky. I even called your numbers several times but it was being switched off.”
“Sorry Rishu, I was busy with my semester examination,” Rishabh replied.
“There was no way out to solve my matter. Lastly, I approached her and expressed my feelings”
“After that.”
“She came to know that I am suffering from a non curable disease.”
“What? What disease? She should ask you. Is she a fool?” Rishabh asked to Rishu.
“Yes, disease.”
“Tell me brother. What disease?”
“Oh God!” Neelon was astonished.
“Sorry brother. I can’t tell you.”
“It will hurt you Rishabh. You have to leave me alone. I am going so dishearten. God did not even support me.”
“What was the disease?” Rishabh was lagged behind him.
“That disease was a cancer.”
“Oh! No!”
“Are you mad? Don’t say like that.”
“Please Rishu, don’t cry please…………………” Rishabh was praying to Rishu.
“See brother, everyone is waiting for you. Let me say something. Please listen to me. Please, stop crying brother…………”
Rishabh was praying to Rishu.
“ Oh God!” Rishu was praying to the Almighty.
“Do have you really that disease?” Rishabh asked to Rishu.
“Where are you going guys? Seat beside me. Let me finish it.”
Rishabh requested to all of us.
“Okay.”
“There is nothing at my chest. Check it brother. You at least know me very well. I am a fully cured boy. Yes, I have a disease…”
“What!! What disease Rishu?”
“A sacred love. Loves which can make me fill and it can fill to cure my all diseases.”
“Rishabh, everything was a lie. A huge lie. A big game was going around me.”
“Yes a lie.”
“God will punish him one day. Don’t be sad,” Rishabh said to Rishu.
“Leave it brother. It was my one mistake. I tried to taste a real love. My job was very difficult. Help me my brother! I want to leave this place soon and I want to destroy myself.”
“Rishu, I say don’t be mad.”
“I don’t want any judgment from god.”
I was sad for Rishu. No words remain. In this short interval, one thing I have learnt that poor like us have no right to make such relationship. Others always dominate we poor. We can just lay down ourselves in front of high profile societies. But, we have a very strong heart. Money is not every thing. We are very simple and tied lips. She should ask him about the reality. I did not want to explain anything. I was shocked about her activities.
Rishu had a good writing ability.
“ Oh Almighty! What you did?
It was beyond of my dream.
I saw one banyan tree at a distant
It was so wide and silent.
Looking so innocent.
Was feeling very so restless
And wanted to fly here and there.
I asked her what she desires.
Wanted to move like others.
It was difficult to move alone.
I tried to close my eyes and it already silent.
You were looking so beautiful there at your place.
Don’t try to move alone
You will lose your identity.
You are good enough alone
By giving your shadow at least.
We need you; we are vacant without you,
Still I am moving alone,
I am by your arm.
You are the symbol of peace.
You never argue with others,
We are very cruel, we can destroy you.
You are very pure.
Don’t go anywhere,
Keep standing.
You will suffer a problem,
Please don’t leave your place, please don’t.
“Brother doesn’t be upset. Everything will be all right,” Rishabh said to Rishu.
“But brother, I am not feeling alone with you, but my life is going very alone without my love and without my soul mate.”
“You are not alone. I am with you always.”
“Leave it Rishu. Do you have any her contact number?” Rishabh asked to Rishu.
“Her number is out of reached. I tried to make one call.” Rishabh replied.
“Listen it carefully. Do your work properly. Try to score good marks and come with me.”
“Where Rishabh?”
“Delhi.”
“But it is difficult to do any more further courses. You can understand my condition.”
“I can understand brother, that’s why I am saying to you. Leave the place as soon as you can. It will pain you brother,” Rishabh suggested to Rishu.
“But, three years later, he got a good job in Delhi. Salary was very satisfactory. His manager was impressed on his simplicity nature and was being very punctual. And the manager was a very kind hearted man. It was going difficult to him to stay alone with me in a single bedded room. And it was going very difficult to stay with one roommate. Rishu had so many objections, but a few months back, his manager arranged one room for Rishu and he started living there.
His Manager had one single daughter. Rishu usually helped her at her studies. They had a child relationship. No one ever asked Rishu about his past life. Life was going well. He did so many courses on computer and on management, besides his studies. He was going far away from his family and a year later, he decided to leave that job.”
“So, did he leave that job?” Neelon asked to Rishabh.
“No.”
“Then.”
“His Manager treated Rishu like his grand son.”
“A good fellow. Rishu was very lucky,” Mr. Pintu said to Rishabh.
“Yes, you are right. Now a days, it is very difficult to get such a good person,” Rohit supported Mr. Pintu.
That Manager offered Rishu to bring his parents at their place.
But Rishu opposed him.
“I am already a burden on you and on the other hand you are going to add more other burdens. As their loving son, I can look after them. I have a faith on myself,” Rishu said to his Manager.
“See Rishu, I already accepted you as my grand son. My parents expired fifteen years ago. They have to stay at my place once they alive,” His Manager replied.
“Don’t worry Rishu, we will respect your parents and main thing is that my daughter will get one more a grand mother and a grand father.”
At last, Rishu agreed to bring his parents there.
“See, my daughter did not even see her real grand father and her grand mother’s face. I mean my mom and dad. She even lost her mother.”
And after that Rishu’s family started living at that place. The whole converted to five member’s family. The Manager’s daughter was little bit happy after getting a good grand parent. His life was fine there and suddenly many doors had opened.
“How?” Mr. Pintu asked to Rishabh.
“He fell in love with a Delhi based Indian Girl. But, he did not forget his past life. Her name was Shruti, a pretty girl. Shruti was a software engineer.”
“A beautiful name,” Mr. Pintu commented.
“Brother Rishu, whom you like most,” Tani asked to Rishu.
“Rishabh, who was Tani? A good name,” Mr. Pintu asked to Rishabh.
“She was his new sister. That Manager’s daughter.”
“Yes sister, my parents,” Rishu replied to Tani.
“Good,” Tani replied.
“But why not your Manager?” Tani was kidding.
“What are you asking sister? You should not say like that,” Rishu replied.
“Sorry brother.”
“You should not ask like that,” Rishu requested to Tani.
“See Tani, your dad gave us all the three need of a human beings. I obey and respect your father a
nd ever grateful to him. But I like my parents’ lot for whom I am here, in front of you, my alive god and goddess.”
“Please don’t mind brother. I am sorry again.”
“God bless.”
“So what happen next?” Neelon asked to Rishabh.
“Rishu was a very lucky fellow. God does what is good for us and it was implemented to Rishu,” Rishabh told me.
“Both of Rishu’s and shruti’s family met each other and they liked the couple.”
“It was good for him,” Mr. Pintu complimented.
Just fifteen days before their weeding…………………………
The couple was busy with their shopping at a shopping mall and was an incident inside the mall…
“Shruti, you know what girl?” Rishu asked to Shruti.
