IS THIS LOVE-an incomplete love story

It just come one day while I was chatting on facebook to whom I admired for last 6-7 years. She had a great charm in which I was lost and secretely felt in love with her. Now the time has come when I’ve to propose her. My friends varun, vinay and one of our senior Anshuman forced me and influenced me to propose her. It was 29th may 2013 while I proposed her on facebook while chatting. Soon I got some shocking replies-
“Kya”??
“what do you mean”????
“what are yo saying”????
“are you serious”???
“Tum samajh rahe ho ki kya keh rahe ho”????
I calmly replied her that “ I LOVE YOU” .
Soon I asked her to make me call so that I can talk to her. After some time she was all alone in her home because her mother, father went for shopping in local market and her brother was in his coaching; she called me on my cellphone. First time I heard her voice for me only, though I’ve made some fake calls for wrong numbers. My intention was only just to listen her. Now while I heard “HELLO”, I was on cloud nine. I was very much excited as my legs were in the air. I was feeling mixed emotions. That time she didn’t responded for what I was waiting for. I talked her gently and asked about her and her family. She replied calmly each and every question I’d asked and I could listen her beautiful smile too.
That day was a red letter day of my life. I can never forget that very first special call which we chit chatted for our very reason.
Soon after that call was finished I was feeling extremely happy and couldn’t express my feelings. My roomies were there over me and as normally friends are they are also “ kameeney” (wicked). All they meant was only partyyyyy.
That day passed and we were on regular calls which were short then but become for a long time after some time spend. We were on the cloud nine as we were doing something strange which we were not allowed to do in our families.
As these were my summer vacations so I was asked by my father to come home. This was not less than a lottery for me because we were from the same hometown as I was send away for my B.Tech. she was doing her graduation in Sitapur (our home town).
Sitapur is a District of Uttar Pradesh and is famous for one of the Hindsu Sacred place called NAIMISHARANYA CHAKRA TEERTHA , a land of saints & hermits . Even so old Shree RAMCHARITMANAS describe it’s importance as
“ Teerathvar Naimish Vikhyata Ati Puneet Sadhak Fal Data”
So I came back to my home. I was continuously in touch with her through sms’es. After two days I received a call from unknown number as it was She.
(Sorry guyz I forgot to describe her name. Her name is Srashti and she is called by name Pooja with her family)
I couldn’t express my feelings to anyone as I leave my home and started wandering here and there in search of a safe place where I could talk her very patiently and for a long period. Suddenly I met my friend Arun Verma who was going for a ride on her bike so I asked him to take me away from there we roamed towards Park named Sarojani Vatika.
There I talked her for a long time and asked many things about her qualities and told her about my fanatsies about her that I fell in love with her for the very first time when I saw her and this being a long time for about 7 years. She was amazed and shocked to hear me and told me that she thought about me as I was only a studious fellow. I told her that I was doing studies just to impress her and to compete with her as she was a scholar. Now Arun had an urgent work with his friend, Umakant so we started bike and roamed towards his friend’s home. It was quite difficult to talk on cellphone over a running bike but somehow I managed to talk to her. Now we reached Umakant’s home and it was over 40 minutes and she was on her terrace so we departed our talk and promised each other to talk very quickly.
Now we three friends were together Me, Umakant & Arun. Arun & Umakant were doing a course on Marine Engineering from Indian Maritime Academy, Chennai. Umakant told us that they got placed and they have to leave the country in february’15. So this was the time for celebration, we were doing some small kinda party with Sprite & Kurkure.
The day passed in this manner now my brother, Shubham who is younger to me passed 12th and now he had to take admission in graduation so I opted Kanpur for his education as I was already there doing my B.Tech. ECE 3rd year from CSJM University, Kanpur. I asked Varun to purchase admission form of D.A.V. College, Kanpur. He sent me the same through courier. I received it and came to know that the last date is near so I have to left my hometown to submit his application form.
I reached Kanpur and this day I have to go to his college for submission of his application form. I reached there at D.A.V. Kanpur and made all formalities done. While going to bank for making DD for college fees, I received a call from Srashti.
While I was on road and there was a huge traffic over there, I somehow managed to talk to her. She told me that she is out from her house with her friend Jaspreet who was with her boyfriend she asked me to come and meet her. That time I felt extremely sorry as I was not there and she somehow managed to meet me. I told her about my current situation that I was not there. She also felt regreted. This way I talked her for about 10 minutes only. I somehow got DD early than others because I paid more than the others were doing. This way I completed all the formalities and shubham’s seat was secured there in D.A.V. Kanpur.
As while returning from DAV to my room I again received a call from another girl that was akansha pandey my classmate, She was asking me some rubbish happened to her friend, another classmate (Jaya Tripathi). She handed over phone to her and Jaya asked me to say sorry as there I commented over a status of our classmate, Pankaj Chaudhary. He wrote some shayari explaining his loneliness and lack of gf situation. I commented over that why to go outside the class when there are girls in our class also. Jaya was asking me that I should say sorry because that was her whom everyone was talking about and why not when there were vacation in summer this year they only two were there at the cafeteria and enjoying cold drink and samosa. At that time I said sorry if I did it knowingly. But sooner my male ego was aroused by vinay who told me why to say sorry if there was not my fault. I called her and started over jaya about what had happened doesn’t include me and I am not sorry over that matter. After completing my DAV job, I returned to Lucknow. In the night while I was on facebook  I read the status of a female from 2k11 batch stating a good poetic rhyme explaining that she was harassed in college. I couldn’t stop myself and commented,
“Chori chori kyu khul ke likho @jaya tripathi”.
At that time Pankaj commented some abusive language over there. Firstly, I asked him to talk like gentleman  but he was out of his mind at that time and doing abusive comments over comments and the matter became worsen as I was also not a step behind. I also replied too many abuses as I could. Soon the matter became viral and everyone of my batch was came to know about what was happening over the confession page. The matter was closed on that day, my friends varun and vinay were asking me explanation why I was not responding strongly over what Pankaj has done to me so I promised them that I would teach him a lesson when I come back to Kanpur. So I returned to Sitapur on very next day.
It was 17th July when I firstly met her in a very renowned restaurant of my city, Rajasthani Restaurent, where we two can talk whatever we want to talk. I reached the restaurant with Cadbuory Dairymilk Silk chocolate to present her. She was with her friend Jaspreet Kaur who was with her boyfriend, So we were alone on our table and they two were getting intimated like love birds. Srashti was shivering as she was much excited and fear could be seen on her face of being caught. Somehow I made her comfortable but couldn’t stop her shyness. I hold her hand in my hand and confidently looked into her eyes and said to the most beautiful three magic words
“I LOVE YOU SRASHTI”
BE MINE!!!
Still she hadn’t responded over my proposal but for the very first time I got hint from her that she too was in love with me. We were talking about each other families and in between somehow manage to be with each other forever.
I ordered “PAV BHAJI” for four of us. I , Jaspreet, me
We were unaware of time which was being passed at a very high rate. She had to go to her home as she anyhow managed this meeting so we came out of the restaurant and came to a nearby store for some purchasing. I offered her a dress which she refused to take. I and Srashti left the store without purchasing anything. I left her to the auto stand by then she took auto and went to her home. I was being caught of doing all this by my two ex-classmate Kislay Dixit and Kumar Gaurav. They were asking if I had achieved noble prize because we were from boys school where having girlfriend is consider as great achievement. I told them about Srashti each and everything so that there might be no confusion about saying anything evil of hers.
I returned to my home. Mummy offered me food but I don’t know which type of fear it was that I was unable to eat anything or it was just over excitement that I couldn’t eat anything in home. I continuously texted Srashti that if everything was alright. Luckily everything was in our favour, we met each other like this for the very first time and we succeeded in our programme. Nobody saw us in this situation so we were safe. We were not so free to talk over phone whernver we want so we used to chat all the free time.
I trusted her so much as I wanted to tell her everything about my past so that nothing would left to tell her about myself. I asked her that whether she will feel hurted by knowing anything  about me but she wanted to know. She called me on my phone in midnight hours so repeated her a call and told her about my past life that there was a girl from my college who proposed me but I never replied about that. Her name was Vimal Yadav, strange but that’s her name. she was 5’7” tall and had very good features. Every batchmates of mine fantasizes about her. She was the mistress of a very good physique with extraordinary features. She and I hung up for 10 months; actually from my 2nd semester upto 3rd semester. Nothing physical was between us but we kissed each other while watching a movie which I sponsored to her. The time when I stopped telling her about my past there was a great sound of cry and sorrow that if Srashti had committed any mistake by accepting my proposal. I told her that this was my innocence and trust that I never want to deceive her. She was unable to stop her tears and I was feeling too much guilty as I had commited any serious murder. The mistake about which I can’t forgive myself. I was feeling guilty for more than one week as she was not answering me about my texts and my phone calls.  
After two or three days I have to come back to Kanpur to continue my studies as I was planning to compete in GATE examination. I came back to Kanpur and started studying. Every day I made out some plans to achieve maximum output in exam but failed to achieve desired output. I couldn’t studied for a long time as I was in great distress. Suddenly I received a call from my sweetheart, She was sobbing and I could feel her mourning.
She said, ”Ankit! I’ve never thought that you may be of this type I trusted you so much.”
I was feeling hell until she said that you are honest and she wants to know each and everything of my past and from my future too.  Whatever I’ve done in my past and what I am going to do she wanted to manage and create my account on behalf of me.
I said atleast 200 times to SRASHTI,MY SHONA, MY SWEET HEART, MY LIFE……..
……………………….I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU……………………………..
For the very first time I heard the same about me she replied, I LOVE YOU TOO ANKIT. The day was a red letter day for me. I can not forget the day when love of my life my fantasy came into existence. She was among one of the peoples for whom I can do anything, Anything…
We talked over 45 minutes as there was no one on her home and she was on her terrace. I mischievously asked her whether there was anyone to comment over her but she refused and warn me not to talk like this. I beg pardon for that time. Soon everything between us became normal and she forgot everything which I told her and we never talked about that. We were busy talking about ourselves and exchanging information about our families.
The days were passing and I’ve almost forgotten about the matter which was happened over facebook and made a great issue my friends Vinay & Varun were continuously criticizing me of not doing anything against Pankaj who challenged my male ego. I have given them a date on which I am going to beat that beast. My father planned a vacation along with his colleague and our family friend Shukla Uncle to Mata Vaishno Devi, J & K and three other devi S in Himachal Pradesh Kangra Valley. We were supposed to left Lucknow as the train was from LKO Jn. On August 4, 2014. I gave 3rd august to my buddies to watch the special show of Pankaj, the so called bhaiya of my class. The day arrived when the show was supposed to be performed, in our last period I asked Pankaj to meet me on Cafeteria of the university so that I have to meet him on a specific matter which was created by him. I along with Vinay and Varun reached cafeteria and were waiting for the hunt. Soon we saw Pankaj who was coming towards us was trying to skip himself from that situation but as I was determined in beating him so I called him but before meeting us he went for a help to the nearby coffee shop where so called bhai s were sitting as the environment was politicized due to fake news of Student Union Elections to be held this year in the university. The three people came towards us. As all of them know about me because I had also spent much time practising politics and talking shit about the University student as well as the faculty members of every department.
I asked Pankaj to say Sorry but he was an ardent fellow he thought his disrespect in saying Sorry. He again used abusive language to me, I was searching the situation when to start the show. As he said ill I left my hand on his left cheek he was reddish on his face and said again a dialogue
“Mai Jaat hu. Maa chod dunga”
(I couldn’t want to write it but it will be boring to read without some true words which were in reality)
I couldn’t stop my hand as continuously hitting him on his face as I am much lighter comparatively to other students or any colleague of my age group so when he pushed me I felt down but I didn’t lost my temper as I was continuously hitting him. Soon my senior Abhilash Katiyar who was campaigning about the so called election came near me and released both of us as we were ready to drink each other’s blood. He thought that the matter was about Vimal Yadav my Ex but I told him that this is not that matter and if he found myself indulge in fight over any girl he might do whatever he wanted to do with me. When I told him the entire incident he burst into laughter and said to me that we are too modern to be fight over facebook.
He and all his colleague started rebuking both of us as we were quarrelling with each other instead of some outsider. But I was relaxed then and felt proud after beating the beast. Then after the entire matter finished I went to my room and received a call from my sweetie. There was a different voice on different side and I was little bit confused and then there came a reply that Ayushi is speaking. Ayushi was her cousin and then she was in 11th with Srashti’s Brother Deepak in different school. We talked for over a long time then I told her about the incident which was happened in college then suddenly I shocked and listened a different tone over other side of the phone. Yes it was Srashti she said to me ‘Ankit! , how could you do this? I was speechless and told her that it should be happen much more before.
She cut the phone and was so much angry with me that she didn’t talk me or text me for that entire day. I was much confused as the next day it will be the last day to stay in touch with her as I have to leave the state for my trip with my family. In the night I called her. After so much call cuts she received my call and replied me that why am I calling her if I don’t need her. I said sorry to her but she was much hurted as well as I was feeling so much helpless to convince her but love and affection between us made it happen. I promised her not to do it again then there was a bit silence for some time. I started talking her in regular manner and I also asked her why she was talking in different way by somebody else’s name. She then asked me that she just wanted to check herself that if she would be possible to trick me or not; but she succeeded. Further I started talking in some romantic tone and told her that I have to leave for the pre-planned journey. She was a little bit nervous and in anger so she didn’t respond me in good manner. After so much talk on the phone we hung up and slept.
The very next morning I woke up early in the morning and I have to catch MEMU train for LKO (Lucknow) from CNB (Kanpur Central). At Lucknow Charbagh Railway Station where my family members and Shukla uncle’s family was waiting for me and we have to catch the train (SEALDAH EXPRESS) from there for Jammu Tawi. We catch the train on 10:30 AM and enter into the train where we were searching for our booked seat and in no time we found the seats. Everybody was so much excited as this was very long journey for all of us to travel. Some passengers were sitting on our seats but they were not agree to leave it as they were sitting there and they have to reach SHAHJAHANPUR
After so long talking to them they were agreed. We started talking to them and we came to know that the family was coming from Karanchi (Pakistan) and they were there for their relative wedding party.
Suddenly my thinking changed after knowing them that they were from Pakistan, the country on which we indian can never trust as they backstabbed us for so many times.
Anyways I don’t have to spoil my trip so I diverted my mind. In our journey after our first stoppage at Balamau, A man entered the compartment, as per as his physique I was sure that he might be an army personnel and after we introduced each other we came to know that he was an army personnel and currently was posted in J&K. We talked so much about J&K, Mata Vaishno Devi and climbing of mountain to reach there, I came to know that it will take 8 hrs to climb the mountain over which we will seeking the blessings of Mata Vaishno Devi. All talkings were stopped as the time was speeding and the train was reaching towards it’s destination. I was feeling desperate of not being able to talk to my shona as I was travelling and there were network issues. Darkness was coming as we reached BAREILY, the city which was introduced in Bollywood songs as “Jhumka Gira Re Bareily Ke Bazar me…..” and from where the famous actress turned singer Priyanka Chopra belongs to. The city seemed to me very ordinary if I compared it with Lucknow or Kanpur, But that’s OK it was a good place to live. I was continuously listening to Radio on my cellphone. I was supposed to sleep for a while and woke up in the night. It was 10:00 PM and I roamed inside the train and stand there on door and I saw that I was in Ludhiana (PUNJAB). The state which I love by my heart and the people are tremendous from there. Actually I love Punjab & Punjabi peoples and their language, food, traditions, customs and everything from there. I kept myself waking as I wanted to keep every scenes and sights in my eyes and wanted to be there. Then I saw cities like JALANDHAR, AMRITSAR, the city famous for it’s golden temple. I truly wanted to be there but this was not a part of our journey. Again I went over my berth at 01:30 AM and started sleeping.
Again everyone inside the train was woke up and I also woke up after there was hullaballoo. I was amazed to see the view from outside the train it was like somewhere which I can call “HEAVEN ON EARTH”. I was entering the Northern most state of our country JAMMU & KASHMIR. As many stations were left behind I was reaching towards our destination. I could feel the breeze coming from the outside and the scenery which was making me feel divine, Now I thought why holy people come to THE HIMALAYAS.
We reached our destination JAMMU TAWI Railway Station on August 05th , 2013 morning at 11:30 AM. I was amused after seeing the beauty of the platform and also shocked over the security features available there. We came outside the platform and were searching for the Bus to reach KATRA another city of J&K from where we have to reach SHREE MATA VAISHNO DEVI DARBAAR.
We board a bus from JAMMU to KATRA , this was a passenger bus and we paid our rent and I was very much disappointed as in J&K no prepaid SIMs from rest of INDIA works and all is for security purposes and we all had a prepaid SIMs. Enjoying journey by Bus over snake type road and slopes and climbing of the busses. For the very first time I witnessed a traffic jam of hilly areas it took almost three hours to be get rid of and for the reason we came to know that there was a landslide on the road and the path was defected due to this accident. So finally, after a tired journey of almost five hours we reached KATRA.
The things were very much changed there as I saw there was a huge and heavy armed forces were deployed so that there remain no tension. I was overwhelmed by watching the scenic beauty of nature. Peoples of J&K were in their traditional dresses and they were very much humble towards the tourists and some of them were notorious too. We reached Katra and soon we were experiencing many brokers promising a good and budget room. One of them promised to take us to best hotel in town and that too in budget, we agreed upon his promise and he took us to some congested colony in Katra and there no room were available to be checked in. Soon Papa got angry over his fake promise and we declined his proposal. Now the situation was same for us so we came on main road and again we got a hotel there which was neither better nor bad but could fulfil our need so we all checked in there and we all became fresh there. And I want to inform my readers that since there is lack of water so one is not allowed to waste water in washing clothes and other things. We all became fresh and were feeling relaxed there and we submitted our luggage and belongings there and we started our journey towards Shree Mata Vaishno Darbar on our feet. So I along with my Father went to yatri seva Kendra and enrol ourselves to get entry towards temple we took 10 entry tickets (Yatra Parchi) which were free of cost and now we all were excited to be first to experience such an environment and I could feel the enlightenment available in the air and I was experienced that why our Ancestors were coming here to get knowledge.

After achieving the yatra parchi we came back and started our journey along with our family and friends. Shukla uncle asked me to take a picture of our so I took out my camera and click a memory pic or groupie. Now we started again towards Darbaar Mata Vaishno Devi, there came a river name BAAN GANGA river I am not sure about the name but it’s flow was terrible as it was just coming down from the Himalayas. Then there we were checked again and now we were enrolled for the Holy Yatra.
As the sun was going to be set and the yatra continues for day as well as night. The scenic beauty was just amusing all of us. We were getting excited about this as this was our first time. One can simply see the diversity of India here as the people from different places of India were there for the same cause and Destination. Many Hermits were there seeking Salvation. The peoples were singing holy chants just like “Chalo Bulawa Aya Hai Mata Ne Bulaya Hai…….” And “Prem se bolo jai mata ki……………”  The whole environment was enthusiastic and Holy. I was enjoying all of this and you just believe me you will get the intimate peace there.
Now since we were travelling from morning so we all became hungry. We’ve heard about the free food offered by the owner of T-series (a music cassetes and CD company), so we reached the place where the Bhandara Was venued but as we reached the place we got shocked that there was no Bhandara. Since the hunger was on cloud nine so we decided to take meal from nearby restaurant. We booked a table there and ordered our food. If you are out of your home so never think of good quality food or the one which you love to eat and sounds tasty. It was not as satisfying as per as the cost we paid. Since the restaurant was over the mountain so everything which is being used to make food or anything was costly as the additional transportation cost was included to reach the destination.
There became a case which I would like to mention here so that my readers will be aware of unexpected events. A worker from the restaurant was get shocked by the electricity flowing through the open wire. I was shocked and had pain in my heart that it might be some terrorist making insane situation but thank god just like any movie this was not the situation. I thanked Mataji when the situation became normal as He was being removed from the shock. Then we started again
Now there darkness was coming but we were amazed and amused by seeing the lighting beauty of the place. Proper arrangement were made for the visitors so that the yatra remain uninterrupted. Even small carings were fulfilled just like toilet facility to ensure sanitation of the place. Railing were made there for the safety of the visitors. Drinking water was available there for every turn. Shedding was there as there the rain comes often without any prior information. We were prepare for any situation as we already have purchased the unique rain suits which were so cheap and for single use only. We were approaching upwards towards the Darbaar. One can see the tiny blinking of star like creations coming from downwards and also be overwhelmed. I was listening Radio over my mobile phone as this is my hobby and the channel was 92.7 Big FM and the programme which was been podcasting was Suhana Safar With Annu Kapoor. The Radio Jockey was describing about the journey completed by Indian Cinema. We were continuously walking to reach the destination. After sometime we realized that my younger brother and Shukla Uncle’s son Rishabh was missing. So we came back for some distance down the mountain and was searching here and there. Soon we find Shubham and Rishabh. Papa was scolding him of not being walking along us side by side.
We reached to the Ardh Kunwari , A halt on the mid-way of the holy journey. Here is a holy cave which is very narrow and there is a belief of the followers that one can simply cross the cave by crawling inside it. We took the entry slip and continued our journey towards the Holy Darbaar. We were determined to achieve the goal and were walking enthusiastically that we’ll surely get Darshan of Mata Vaishno Devi ‘Pindi’. As now we were on the way leading to the Holy Temple we were distracted by a sudden weeping of a girl aged 9-10 years old as she was detached with her family. We were trying to help her but were unable as she was from Haryana and was unable to describe the whole incident how it happened. There was a little bit problem in helping her as our cell-phones were not working and the local authorities have the language problem in conversation. Soon a localite was ready to help her as he was from the same state J&K and his phone was working and he also could communicate with the Shrine Board Authorities in their own language.
Walking whole the night the day was coming I was feeling as I was in the clouds. Really if you’ll go there you will feel very special as you are in a heaven. The sun was rising and soon there came a shower of rain. We were prepared but some of us have torn rain suit. The rain stops after 20 minutes and in these 20 minutes I witnessed how dangerous the rain can became on the mountains. The water was flowing in bulk and the flow of the current was terribly high. I was missing Srashti in this situation. I was thinking if she were with me at this time I will definitely hug her and kiss her passionately, the whole mood of mine turned into romantic imaginations of being in the arms of my shona. I’ve forgotten the cause of my journey why I was here but soon I was disturbed by a sudden call of my father as we have reached the Holy Darbaar. Now we have to submit our belongings and take a bath. As according to Hindu Mythology before getting any holy meetings one has to be pure both in mind and in physique.
We submitted our shoes, jackets, leather belts, mobile phone,…..etc now we took advantage of the military pass so as we do not have to wait for Darshan. We were privileged of having darshan very clearly and in a very proper manner. As there is a belief that whatever wishes is being asked woul get fulfilled very soon. So I asked goddess Vaishno Devi of a good future and a happy married life with my Shona “Srashti”. Everybody was asking according to themselves whatever wishes they wanted to be fulfilled. We took our time and took a very deep and fine glimpse of the Holy Pindi. It is a stone structure build naturally and have the shape of three goddess. The view was very energising. Soon we were asked to vacate the campus and we did as per the instruction given to us by the officials. You have to control your emotions as there are many outside who have same emotions and are in a line to get a glimpse of Maata Vaishno Devi.
Now there is a place ahead of Mata Vaishno Devi Holi Darbaar and your journey is incomplete if you don’t go there and seek blessings of Bhairo Baba. So as we were very much......................
