Saaya(Shadow) Part 2
Aman removed her hands off her and walked backward.Roshni became dull.
Roshni:Aman…still you are scared of me?I was just trying to save you from falling down.Still….
Aman stammered out of fear:You…you are a ghost.
Roshni said emotionally:Yes.But you could see me.You could touch me.Because I wanted you to see me and touch me.Only if I want you can see me or touch me.Because you are very special for me.I can’t even imagine hurting you.
Suddenly the dog which Aman saw appeared near Roshni.Aman was scared.
Aman:This dog…
Roshni:Don’t be scared.This dog is also a soul like me.But i won’t hurt you.Remember it wagged it’s tail when it saw you.Because it likes you.
Aman:But why does it like me?I have no connection with it.And how come I am special to you?
Roshni:This dog is my pet Rocky.Since you are special to me Rocky also considers you special.And you want to know why you are special to you?Because I …I was your biggest fan listening to your songs.Later you came to my college to perform.
Flash back…..
Aman was singing on stage.
Milne hai mujhse aayi
Phir jaane kyun tanhaayi
Kis mod pe hai laayi aashiqui
Oo..
Khud se hai ya khuda se
Is pal meri ladayi
Kis mod pe hai laayi aashiqui
Ooho.. ooho..
Aashiqui baazi hai taash ki
Toot the bante vishwaas ki..
O milne hai mujhse aayi
Phir jaane kyun tanhayi
Kis mod pe hai laayi aashiqui
Jaane kyun main
Sochta hoon
Khali sa main
Ek raasta hoon
Tune mujhe
Kahin kho diya hai
Ya main khud
Lapata hoon
Aa dhund le tu phir mujhe..
Kasmein bhi doon toh kya tujhe..
Aashiqui baazi hai taash ki..
Toot the bante vishwaas ki..
Milne hai mujhse aayi
Phir jaane kyun tanhayi
Kis mod pe hai laayi aashiqui
Toota hua
Saz hoon main
Khud se hi
Naraz hoon main
Seene mein jo
Kahin pe dabi hai
Aesi koi
Aawaz hoon main
Sunle mujhe tu bin kahe..
Kab tak khamoshi dil sahe..
Aashiqui baazi hai taash ki..
Toot the bante vishwaas ki..
Aashiqui baazi hai taash ki..
Toot the bante vishwaas ki..
O milne hai mujhse aayi
Phir jaane kyun tanhayi
Kis mod pe hai laayi aashiqui
O..Khud se hai ya khuda se
Is pal meri ladayi
Kis mod pe hai laayi aashiqui
Ooho.. ooho..
Ooho.. ooho..
Aashiqui baazi hai taash ki..
Toot the bante vishwaas ki..
Oo.. aa.. yeye..(Aashiqui2)
Roshni was lost in his magical voice.
Roshni’s best friend Shivanya noticed it and scratched her shoulder.
Roshni:Ah Shivanya..
Shivanya and Roshni giggled.
After the performance all of them surrounded Aman.Aman interacted with them nicely.
Present….
Roshni:I saw you as a person there.Unlike other celebrities you are so down to earth and humble.I started liking you as a person also.My admiration turned into love.
Aman was stunned.
Flash back….
The Lecture was going on in the classroom…but Roshni was dreaming of romancing Aman.
She was mentally absent in class.After the period got over the bell rang.That time Roshni woke up from her dream.
Shivanya:You are lost in the thoughts of Aman.Right?
Roshni blushed.
Shivanya:Why don’t you confess your love to Aman?He might reciprocate your love.
Roshni:What nonsense!There may be many girls around Aman.Why should he choose me over them?
Shivanya:Because unlike other crazy fans your love is true.
Roshni smiled:Yes.I am serious about my love.
Shivanya:Then you should confess to him that you love him.What if he falls in love with you at first sight?Even if not love what if you may be able to make friends with him?Then slowly your friendship with him may turn into love.
Roshni started having hopes.
Roshni:But how can I meet him?I can’t go and talk to him during his stage show.Because there he will be very busy.
Shivanya:But he is working in an office.Right?There he is just a common man.You should go and meet him there.
Roshni:That’s a good idea.But how can I go there just like that?I feel shy.
Shivanya:What can I expect from a shy girl like you?Ok.I will go and meet him.I will tell him about you.Then i he is ready I will arrange a meeting for both of you.
Roshni:Nice idea.You are a great cupid of love Shivanya.No wonder why everyone calls you Love cupid.
Shivanya:After all I am the one who joined most of the lovers in our college.
Roshni and Shivanya hugged each other happily.
Roshni informed her parents Raghuveer and Sarla about her love on the phone.
Raghuveer:My daughter is in love.Wow!
Sarla:But there is no guarantee that he loves you.
Roshni became dull.
Raghuveer:Sarla…I am sure that he will love our Roshni as anyone will fall in love with her.Because our Roshni is the best.
Sarla and Roshni smiled.
Sarla:Tell me his name and other details Roshni.
Roshni:I will reveal everything..but only if he also loves me.
Raghu:Ok.We will wait.All the best Roshni.
Roshni smiled:Thank you.
Shivanya went to Aman’s office and lied to them that she is Aman’s cousin and she has to meet him urgently.They informed this to Aman.
Aman thought:It must be my cousin Riya.What’s the urgency?
Aman:Let her come inside.
So they allowed her to get inside Aman’s cabin.Seeing Shivanya Aman was shocked.
Aman:This is not Riya.Who are you?
Shivanya:Sorry sorry.I lied that I am your cousin to reach you.Really sorry.But please don’t kick me out.It’s a request.Please listen to what I say.
Aman:Ok tell me.What do you want to say?But only 10 minutes.I have work.
Shivanya:Yes.Only 10 minutes.My name is Shivanya.I am known as the love cupid in my college as I unite lovers.
Aman smiled:Love cupid.Uniting lovers is good.
Shivanya:Thank you.Actually my friend loves you madly.She wants to meet you.
Aman smirked:It is not love.It may be only an infatuation which any girl will feel towards a celebrity.
Shivanya:No.You are mistaken.My friend is not a crazy type.She genuinely loves you.Please try to understand.Please meet her once.You will love her personality.I can guarantee you that.
Aman:Is it?If you are saying the truth that your friend loves me genuinely I will think of meeting her.
Shivanya:Really?
Aman:Yes.But this month I am tied up with my work.I really have no time.So next month the first Sunday I will be free.Will meet in the coffee house at 11 a.m.
Shivanya:Thanks a lot.
Aman:What’s her name?
Shivanya:Suspense!That day you will know it.
Aman smiled.
Shivanya:10 minutes are over.I am not breaking my promise.I am leaving.Bye.
Aman:Bye.
Shivanya informed this to Roshni and Roshni became really excited.
Roshni:I am so happy.Thank you Shivanya.
Shivanya:Anything for you Roshni.
Roshni hugged Shivanya.Shivanya kissed her.
In the mean time Roshni and Shivanya took a house for rent and shifted thee from the hostel.Roshni bought a dog and named it Rocky.Rocky and Roshni were close friends also.Roshni imagined Aman Roshni and Shivanya enjoying together.
Roshni:After Aman and I unite we all will be in one team.Can’t wait for that.
Roshni waited for one month to get over eagerly.Finally the most awaited Sunday reached.
She was really excited.Roshni put Rocky on the front seat.
Roshni:Let Aman meet you also.
Rocky wagged it’s tail.
Roshni smiled cutely.
Roshni was thinking of Aman and driving the car.
Present….
Aman:Then what happened?
Roshni was in tears:Unexpectedly an accident took place and I lost my life.Rocky too passed away.
Aman was shocked.He became emotional:You…?
Roshni:Yes.I died.I could’nt meet you or open my heart to you.
Aman became upset:I am really feeling bad for you.But how come you are here now?
Roshni:God permitted me to live on earth for 3 months.So I came here.I did visit my parents.But I did’nt reveal myself to them as I want them to forget me completely.If they see me again they will gain drown in pain when I leave the earth.Aman…I swear…I am not a bad soul.I will never harm you.Are you still scared of me?
Aman:No,I am not scared of you.That day I also wished to see you directly.But when you did not turn up I thought you were not sincere in your affection for me.In fact I was happy also that you don’t love me.Because in the mean time I got into a relationship with a girl.
Roshni’s heart pricked hearing from Aman’s mouth that he is in relationship with another girl.
Aman:But now I am feeling sad knowing that you did’nt come that day because of your death.
Roshni:Aman..my love for you is true.My love for you will never die.I have only 3 months time.I came here to spend time with you.Can I stay here till I return to heaven?
Aman:But Roshni..I am committed to another girl.
Roshni became emotional:I know that.I know that being a soul I can never get you.I will never cause problems for you.But please let me be with you Aman.I won’t force you to love me.But please don’t stop me from loving you.It’s my only wish.Please don’t say no.
Aman:Ok.
Roshni smiled happily:Thank you.
Aman:In which room do you want to stay?
Roshni:Rocky and I will sleep on the cloud.
Aman was surprised:Cloud?Seriously?
Roshni:Yes.
Aman smiled:Cool.
Roshni:Ok Good night.See you.
Aman:Good night.
Roshni and Rocky disappeared.
Roshni landed on the cloud.Rocky started sleeping on another cloud.
Roshni said in her mind:Sorry Aman.What I told you about my past was only half truth.A lot are hidden from you.I am sorry.
Raghuveer and Sarla were sitting together.
Sarla:Raghuveerji…the boy who came here in search of Roshni…do you think he is….
Raghuveer:I am sure that he is the one Roshni loved.Poor guy did not know the mishap which happened with Roshni.
Sarla became upset:I think he also loves Roshni.But poor Roshni is not lucky enough to be with him.
Raghu was also upset:Bad fate!
Sarla:But why with our Roshni?
They both shed tears.
In the midnight….
Aman was not able to sleep thinking of what Roshni said.He got up from the bed and opened the window.He looked at the sky.Suddenly he saw the clouds sparkling.Roshni was sleeping there.
A smile appeared on his face:So cute.Really looking like an innocent Angel.Who will say that she is a ghost?
The next morning…..
Aman was having break fast.Suddenly he heard a voice:Aman…
Aman got shocked:Who is that?I can’t see anyone.Come before me.
Aman started sweating.Suddenly Roshni appeared on the chair near by.Aman was surprised.
Aman:Roshni!
Roshni laughed:You got scared so fast.
Aman was embarrassed.
Nirmala reached there.Suddenly she saw Roshni.
Nirmala:Who is this?
Aman was surprised as Nirmala saw Roshni.
Aman whispered to Roshni:So others can see you now?
Roshni whispered:Not everyone.I thought that I will stay in this house as your friend.So I decided to be visible in this house.So whoever comes here can see me.
Aman looked at Nirmala:This is my friend Roshni.
Nirmala:Ji namaskar!
Roshni:Hi..
Roshni shook her hand.Nirmala was shocked.
Nirmala:Your hand is cold like ice.How can a living person’s hand be so cold like a dead body?
Aman became nervous as Nirmala may know Roshni’s truth.
Nirmala looked at Roshni’s face.Her eye balls turned yellow.
Nirmala screamed out of fear and walked backward.
Nirmala:Ghost..ghost….
Aman did not know what to do.But Roshni was enjoying it
