Let’s Synchronize our Emptiness (Chapter 4)

Chapter 4

Gauri…the girl whom he had met just a few hours ago..Om actually started liking her..her positive approach towards life..her continuous talks..her cute laughs..her smile..basically all of her..You never really know what life has in store for you. If it brings harsh sunrays of sadness…and pain then it even brings in the showers of happiness and mirth. Om was feeling like…life has given him a second chance to live happily..enjoy himself. All the reason behind this transition of Om’s was just gauri..It is always said…and today Om felt it was absolutely right..a ray of light overpowers the darkness..it spreads light everywhere..and gauri was one such ray of light in Om’s life.

They both were under the roof of the immense large sky which was endowed with twinkling stars and the bright shining moon..with wet sand beneath them..and the waves of sea and the cool breeze were available as a complimentary in this hotel of nature. Om looked at gauri. He felt like he could tell his sorrow..his grief to her. It’s not that Om didn’t felt like this before he did felt like this when he was with his brothers. But there he lacked the courage..the couage which is required to accept the harsh reality. But today..at that moment he didn’t lacked the courage..Infact he felt..he had a spark in him..which desperately wanted to share everything with Gauri. He didn’t knew where did such couage or spark came inside him..maybe it was because of her..or whatever..but today he wanted to pour his heart out..he wanted to open the cap of his bottled up feelings.

O: Gauri i wanted to..to tell you something
G: Yeah, sure Om tell me.
O: A few minutes ago..I told you about a girl..
G: Oh! You mean that girl because of which…
O: Ya because of which I frequently visit here..
Gauri kept her hand on his’…trying to give him strength..trying to give him assurance..trying to make him feel better..with that single touch Om understood those thousand words of motivation. Mustering all the courage which was present inside him..he initiated the conversation.
O: Actually..that girl..she died because of me..that day..that day..I will never forget in my life..
Tears welled up in Om’s eyes. Gauri felt Om’s angst..his turmoil was finally going to calm down. Om closed his eyes. He took a deep breathe and said.

O: It was a party..I had cracked my first ever deal..my parents..shivaay they had planned for the party. I never really wanted to go..but on her insistence I just went..I wish I had never really gone to that party. When I arrived at party everybody were busy in their own world..some of them were busy talking about busines..all other ladies were discussing marriages..girls were busy clicking selfies..boys were already drunk..I felt like I was kinda lost in that whole world I was feeling alone…lonely until she came and held my hand. Inspite of knowing that her life was at stake she came. God! She came with her beautiful eyes which were lined with kohl..her smile..her face was lit up and you know what was the best part…she wore the dress which I had gifted her..the black coloured gown..She asked to have a dance..a dance with her. It was my first ever dance with someone and who knew that eventually it was my last dance with someone. We were dancing. She had so much of tension…fear to deal withbut she never gave me an idea to know what was going through her mind. A shooter was hired by someone. His target was me…me..When the bullet was shot in the air..she quickly turned me towards the opposite side and came in front of the bullet and she was shot..I didn’t really knew what was happening now..what had just happened..what I would have to deal with…just nothing I was completely blank..If just Gauri…just…I could have walked a step turned her towards my side..she would have been alive by now..she would have been with me..her painful smile..her teary eyes..I hate myself for that I couldn’t save her…just couldn’t..This guilt is pricking me inside Gauri..it is breaking my heart into pieces..

Gauri had tears in her eyes by now. She was completely blank about what to suggest…how to console him..moreover about how can she be stable..Om was completely broken by now. Gauri didn’t knew what to do…she just hugged him. Om knew that he was never gonna live a happy life again but this hug gave him strength it was relieving him from stress…it was soothing his guilt…Sometimes words are shotto express what we feel but just a hug or kiss from your loved one may give you immense peace which thousand words fail to….
