BEPANAAH PYAR HAI, TERA INTEZAAR HAI – SACRIFICING LOVE INORDER TO SAVE FRIENDSHIP(One Shot OS)
To love without condition, To talk without intention, To give without reason & To care without expectation….This is the heart of a TRUE FRIEND…….
First of all, I want to give a big waala thanks from the bottom of my heart to all my frnds who commented & liked my previous OS….thnx a lot to Rishu, Priyanshi, Amnaa, Swetha, Sana, Neha, Dhruvi, Mitali, Bibechna, Niyaa, Vrushti, Anu, Sayali, Sanju & Sarah for commenting….a big waali jaadu ki jhappi for u all….Now without wasting ur precious time with my chattering, let’s get started…
It was 10 in the morning…all were busy in roaming here and there with books…Yes guys, it’s a college…let’s take a look at them now…
Girl: Oh God!! What is this? Till how much time I’ll wait for him? Why hasn’t he come yet?
The girl is none other than our Sanchi…She kept on looking at the door of her classroom…that’s when he entered…our handsome hunk Kabir…A smile formed on her face on seeing him…He settled down in his place and turned…When he saw her looking at him he smiled and gave his usual wink which is enough to make her flat…she blushed and smiled…He turned & left to chat with his frnds…but her eyes were still busy in admiring him…she was lost in her world..that’s when someone hit her from the back…
Sanchi: ouch!!…Who the hell…she turned to find her besties Prasha there…
Sanchi: Dumbo!! U just scared me…
Pragya: Abeo Devi jee, we’ve been calling you for the past 10 mins, but you are lost somewhere….
Isha: Btw, whom are you looking at……she tries to search & find out while Sanchi interrupts…
Sanchi: Me….I mean I…..I…..(she was mumbling)….I mean nothing like you are thinking…
Pragya: Pakka!!!
Sanchi: Haan baba…pakka…..
Isha: Leave all these things….come, let’s go to the canteen….& she dragged them along with her & left
It was their final year in college….SanIshPra were besties but were from different streams….The trio met during their break where they used to roam, chat & enjoy each other’s company….Sanchi missed them a lot, but still she passed her time by looking at her dreamboy….haha….She had a crush on Kabir from the 2nd year of college, but she hid this from everyone, even from her besties…During her initial days at college, she focused only on her studies…& about Kabir, she considered him as a flirt kind of a guy…Kabir was the bestie of Veer…& it was through Veer, that Sanchi came to know that Kabir was not at all the kind of guy what he showed in front of others… With passage of time, she had started developing feelings for Kabir…but they never talked with each other, not even through chatting…It’s only when sometimes Kabir teases her in class(which Sanchi really liked by now), they used to talk…
Some days passes…
One day Sanchi receives a message…it read,”Hi!! This is Kabir…Can we talk for a moment if you are free”….”Yes…I’m not busy, you can talk”….replied Sanchi…..Kabir immediately called her…
Kabir: Hye!!
Sanchi: Hello!!…(she was smiling…)….What happened? Any problem?
Kabir: Actually, I need a favour from you…(muted)…they talked for some time…then…
Kabir: Hey Sanchi, Can I ask you something? Do you feel bad when I smile or wink at you in class? coz I’m like that…winking, smiling….plz don’t mind ok….
Sanchi(in mind): Why would I feel bad for that…In fact I feel very very good…
Sanchi: No…Not at all….Not a problem…
Kabir: Btw, I was not asking your permission…even if you don’t like, I’ll still keep doing that….& they both laughed….”Paagal kahin ka”….said Sanchi & laughed…
This was how their friendship started & day by day it grew more & more stronger with passage of time….& it was getting more & more difficult for Sanchi to hide her feelings, for this, she decided to propose Kabir…So, one evening she called Kabir…
Kabir: Hello Sanchi….What’s up!!
Sanchi: Kabir….actually I wanna say you something, but before that plz promise me you won’t take me wrong….
Kabir: Of course Sanchi you can tell me anything….tell me what is it?
Sanchi: Actually I used to love someone during my school days, but he dumped me…
Kabir: I know Sanchi, Veer told this to me before…But Sanchi, I would say, don’t feel for those who left you…Stay happy with what you have…Just relax..(Veer & Sanchi were in same school for some days…so Sanchi & Veer were friends from their school days)…
Sanchi: Yeah….but I’m afraid…
Kabir: Afraid for what?
Sanchi: I’m afraid coz I’m getting attracted a lot towards you now a days…I don’t think it’s just an attraction or infatuation….it’s something more than that….I Love You…Kabir was shocked…
Kabir: Hmm…ok….Sanchi was a bit confused coz she didn’t expect such cold reaction from him
Sanchi: What do you mean by this? I need an answer…
Kabir: What answer do you expect me to give? What reply will make you happy? Tell me…
Sanchi: You don’t need to lie to me…just tell me the truth…that’s enough…
Kabir(taking a deep breath): Ok listen…Do you know that I had a crush on someone from my school days?
Sanchi: Yes…Veer had already told me that…
Kabir: She hasn’t accepted my love yet….I’m still waiting for her only…Sanchi was dumb-struck
Sanchi(composing herself): What if she says no to you?
Kabir: Sanchi plz try to understand…it’s not abt her accepting me….the thing is, I never have such feelings for u…I alwz thought u as a frnd….yes I like u, but dear only as a frnd, that’s it…..Sanchi was crying on the other side & couldn’t speak for a long time….
Kabir: Sanchi yaar…if u want, u can scold me, but dear don’t stop replying….it hurts….I’m sorry if I’ve hurt u…
Sanchi(wiping her tears):No no…it’s ok…It was all my mistake….leave it….
Kabir: No Sanchi, there’s no mistake in this….u loved me & u confessed it…that’s all…
Sanchi(smiling): Kabir…can I ask u something? Being a girl, I proposed u…so, do u feel that I’m somewhat a cheap kind of a girl? Will u start hating me for this?
Kabir(angrily):Shut up stupid!! What girl or boy? Feelings r same for everyone…be it boy or girl…& I’m not such kind of person who’ll think like that…& I can never be angry on u…hating toh bohut door ki baat hai…
Sanchi: Ok…I’m sorry…..& after some talk, both finally slept wishing gud nt to each other…
Next mrng…..Kabir called Sanchi
Kabir: Hello Sanchi….Gud mrng….
Sanchi: Gud mrng….btw, if u r not busy, can I ask u something?…”Hmm”…replied Kabir…
Sanchi: U said u don’t hv feelings for me….what if u get it later?
Kabir: I’ll tell u for sure…I’m not the kind of person who would hide his feelings…
Sanchi: & what if it’s too late & we would hv walked apart?
Kabir: Look, if I get feelings, whenever it is, I’ll tell u…wherever u r I’ll come to u…if I’ve decided u r mine, nobody can take u away from me…but the only thing, u must be ready to hold my hand & come with me…
Sanchi(emotional,happy & with tears): Of course I’ll…I just hope, that day comes soon…
Kabir: No dear, plz don’t have unnecessary hopes, if it doesn’t happen, then only u’ll be hurt
Sanchi didn’t speak up….didn’t reply to Kabir…
Kabir: This is the reason I’m not giving u hopes……I don’t wanna hurt u or in the long run, break ur heart…Anyways, leave it…why to talk abt the thing which is not gonna happen…leave it…see u at college….bye….
Sanchi: Yeah….bye….
Days passed….Sanchi said abt her love to Prasha…& apart from them, she had another bestie, Ria with whom she shares her every secret…& another co-incidence, Ria is Kabir’s cousin….but still, she’s more close to Sanchi…Ria consoled Sanchi after knowing Sanchi loves Kabir while he doesn’t
Ria: Sanchi, if u don’t mind, shall I talk to bhai in this regard?
Sanchi: Thanks dear……but no thanks….I don’t want to force my love on Kabir
Ria: Don’t worry dear….hv faith in ur love…
Pragya: Abeo….don’t think so much….he’s urs….only urs….give him some time, he’ll realize soon
Isha: Yes….& nobody can take him away from u…..he has to return to u…
“Now cheer up”…saying this the 3 started tickling Sanchi…..haha….Veer was passing by & had heard their talks & even he now supports Sanchi….”Thanks Veer, thnx for supporting me even after being Kabir’s bestie”….said Sanchi…”It’s ok Sanchi, even u r my frnd, childhood frnd, saath toh dena hi hai”…said Veer…& they both smiled….
One day there was a surprise b’day party celebration of a classmate….Sanchi went there, but without her besties, coz Ria was not feeling well, while Prasha had got some other work…..while returning it became late, so Sanchi asked Kabir if he could accompany her & drop her at her home to which Kabir agreed…..Initially, during their journey, both were silent, so Kabir initiated…
Kabir: Oye…u’re fine?…listen I understand ur feelings & even respect that, but still, try & understand, I can’t do anything in that….
Sanchi: It’s fine Kabir….& I’m sorry if I hurt u…
Kabir: Buddhu….in fact I must say sorry….u’re getting hurt just bcz of me…
Sanchi:Can I ask u something, if u won’t take me wrong?…”Yes”….replied Kabir…
Sanchi: Why don’t u like me? I mean, I knw I’m not that beautiful but still, I want to know from u
Kabir(smiling): Stupid…who said I don’t like u? U know, I’ve alwz thought that I’ll never get a girl who would love me madly…I knew I didn’t deserve it, but still…I was very happy the day u proposed me…moreover, the way u luv me…Oh God!…I feel really bad for that coz I’m hurting u in return…
Sanchi: Stop blabbering…U r a very good human from heart, u deserve the best….but if u were so happy on listening abt my luv for u, why can’t u accept my love?
Kabir: Plz dear…understand…I can’t……
Sanchi: Ok…leave it…we’ve reached(pointing to her home)….I’ve to go…but before that…I Luv U…
Kabir(smiled): & I like u…..BUT….AS A FRIEND….both smiled & left from there….
Sanchi’s POV-This is the best day of my life….I would live my entire life with the memories of this day
But little did she know that it was also going to be the worst day of her life…the news abt Kabir dropping Sanchi at her home…& with it, the news abt Sanchi proposed to Kabir…got spread in the entire college…everyone started to talk ill abt Sanchi, but she was least bothered by this coz her frnds alwz supported her except for one….Kabir
One day she texted Kabir….
Sanchi: Hii…
Kabir: Haan…tell…Sanchi was a bit shocked at his cold reply…
Sanchi: What happened Kabir? Why r u not talking with me like before? U r not even looking at me in college…why? r u angry on me….
Kabir:No….nothing as such….but I can’t talk to u….
Sanchi: But why?
Kabir: Plz understand….I don’t want ur name to be spoiled bcz of me…plz don’t look at me in class
Sanchi: But why r u bothered…let them speak anything….who cares?
Kabir: I do care…if it would hv been abt me, I won’t hv been bothered…but it’s abt u…this I can’t tolerate…the people who used to say Sanchi is a nice & intelligent girl hv now started talking ill abt u
Sanchi: So u r asking me to kill my feelings for others….How can I do that?
Kabir: For me ur reputation is more important than ur feelings…if u can’t do this, I’m gonna do this….& he switches off his phone, leaving Sanchi in shock…
Two days passed….Kabir is avoiding Sanchi…neither is he looking at her in college, nor is he talking to her in the class…during these days, Sanchi cried a lot….no one talked with her except Prasha,Ria & Veer…these two days were like hell for her….
Pragya: Sanchi yaar what is this? Sanchi broke down into tears & the 4 got panicked….
Isha: Hey what happened yaar…Why r u crying…I’m scared….plz tell na…
Sanchi: Why does this happen only with me guys…don’t I deserve love & happiness…
Veer: What r u blabbering? Tell properly…
Sanchi: U know, in school I loved a boy, he left me…it took me a long time to recover from it…Is it my mistake to fall in love again?…guys I didn’t know when I started liking him…he’s such a good person…but he doesn’t love me…why it happens with me, jisko bhi dil se chahti hoon, he goes far from me….U guys also go away from me…I’m afraid, may be one day I’ll lose u all…
Ria(hugging Sanchi): There’s nothing like u think dear…if u don’t get something, that means God will give u something better than that…just don’t lose hope…we won’t leave u ever & they all had a group hug…
Sanchi: U know what, I didn’t feel bad when he didn’t accept me coz he was very truthful, he never tried to take advantage of my luv for him…I later understood this & decided not to pester him…I only said I’ll wait for him…but now, he’s avoiding me…U know, he loves Priya…just few days back he told me abt her…& now Kabir isn’t talking to me coz he can’t bear anyone talking ill abt me & my name won’t be affected…
Pragya: If u start worrying for what others will say, ur life will become hell…
Isha: & u just can’t keep proving urself to all…so, leave them…
Veer:Yes…don’t care for them…
Sanchi: But u know, according to them, if a girl loves a boy & proposes him, she’s characterless…
Veer: Just stop it…who said so? girls or boys…whoever it is, doesn’t matter & u confessed ur feelings, which means u r brave enough …we r proud of u buddhu……..& they all smiled…
Sanchi: I don’t know much abt Priya, but I’ve heard she’s a nice girl…beautiful…intelligent…& haan, if she deserves Kabir, let them be happy…I can’t come between them…
Ria: I’m proud of u dear…u r not only sacrificing ur love, but also want him to be happy…Kabir bhai is so lucky to have u in his life….they smiled & had a group hug…
Two days later(now by this time, it’s somewhat become back to normal kind of situation in college…)
Sanchi called Kabir…
Sanchi:Hello…how r u?
Kabir: Hmm…I’m fine….& u?
Sanchi: I’m fine…(paused for a moment)….r u still angry on me?
Kabir:Yes…
Sanchi: But u said once, u can never be angry on me, was it lie? Kabir smiled…”U were not listening to me afterall”…said Kabir…
Sanchi: ok what now…u wanted me to stop loving u…fine, I’ll try my best to forget u, but this will take some time….so plz…I know u can’t believe what I just said, but dear, I’ve a reason for this…during these days when u didn’t talk with me, it was like hell…after thinking a lot, I realized, I can’t afford to lose a good frnd of mine due to my stupid crazy love….that’s why…
Kabir: Thanku so much…but don’t call ur love stupid…I respect it a lot…Love is something which is to be respected & cherished…not insulted….so plz…
Sanchi: Thanku so much…but one thing, after all these problems started, u r not behaving normal…always depressed in class…I don’t like this…I just want my old Kabir back…will u?
Kabir: ok boss, I’ll do as u say…& they both smiled….See u at the college….”Hmm”…replied Sanchi
Hence, they sorted out their problems…& both started to talk to each other like before…Now everything is back to normal…now even Sanchi’s other frnds r talking with her…& all r happy…Sanchi even prayed for Kabir’s happiness that Priya should accept his love & they must be happy, but only if Priya is good & deserving coz she wants the best for her dearest friend….
Sanchi loved Kabir, & will alwz keep loving him…praying for his happiness & well being…
True love is Sacrifice….It is in giving, not in getting….in losing, not in gaining…in realizing, not in possessing, that we love…..Sometimes we have to sacrifice & let go of things we love to move on with our life….For this, sometimes we need to Sacrifice our Love inorder to save our Friendship…..
Hope you all would have liked it…..I know,
there was no Kanchi union in the end, but friends, through this, I just wanted to say that Love is unconditional…..waiting with patience & sacrificing is also a sort of happiness in True Love….But yaaron…don’t at all get disappointed…there’s still a hope that…may be Kabir will one day accept Sanchi’s love, u never know….kuch bhi ho sakta hai…haha….. plz share your views regarding this story through your comments…..& of course, feel free to point out any sort of flaws in my writings by commenting…

With lots of Love,
Priyanka
