Adhuri Zindagi – Nairan OS Part – 1

Hello everyone. This is Ayonija. This my first OS on Nairan. I hope u all like this.
So, Let’s start-
Adhuri Zindagi – Nairan OS

A child was reading a diary which was written by Karan Singh Chauhan. It starts as-

Chilly winds passed hard by and whispered in my ears, ‘the end’.My throat gathered a lump and my heart felt sick.The trouble that life brought seemed too much to bear.

Naina was there,just there,but I could not approach her.So near,but still so far.

After all these vacant years,I saw her today.I was still her Karan but she was no longer my Naina,I realized.

 
Six years ago,

“I have to go Karan, I am sorry”,she folded her hands and her beautiful eyes flooded tears.

“And my life?Without you?”.I stood motionless.Her hurtful words had emptied my emotions.

“I am helpless”

“But Naina…”,I said but she put her fingers on my lips.I kissed them.

“Karan,this is what dad asked me in his last moments – to leave you”.Her voice had so much of pain.She hung her head.

“Leave me?Alone?To be torn apart?”.Life had no meaning left.

“Promise me,you will never find me”, she took a step back.

“Ask me to stop breathing, but I cannot make this promise”, I protested.

“You can …”, she stepped ahead to caress my cheeks.

I embraced my sweetheart but said nothing. She put her face on my chest and my heavy breaths blew her hair. I could hear her loud heartbeats. The thought of having a life without her stabbed my soul.

“Let me go”, she pushed back.

I was taken aback. She walked to the door and my world thrashed. I looked down the earth and wished to be cremated.

“And the ring? Our promise of being together? What about …”, I asked but paused as I looked up.

Her footsteps were taking her away. I said nothing and so did she. She walked out without turning back.

Soon, the morning dew of my life had left. Endless tears approached my eyes but I did not shed any.

I had promised never to cry. I had promised to hold her hand till death. I had promised to be with her, forever. But promises, as they are, are never fulfilled. They are made to be broken – to break you; to tear you apart.

Today,

It was just another day when I rushed into the local bus to reach my office but I never knew what my just another day had for me.

The driver accelerated the bus the moment I stepped in. These drivers ill-treat passengers who step-in from the back gate, I thought. A misbalance in the bus always signalled a bad day ahead.

I moved to take an empty seat but an elderly man ran to occupy it. He looked tall, with a big belly, so I stood aside. I looked at him while standing in the packed bus. He gave a cunning smile and I abused him in my head.

As I turned my face looking for seats, I was stunned.The air smelt fragrant and the sunlight beamed the forehead of a lady.She was four seats ahead of me. She was my Naina.

Naina was the love of my life. We were the best of friends and lovers in college. But with the devil’s curse,she left me when her father died.

Her father was a farmer and I being Karan Singh Chauhan, a son of rich family was what he hated the rich people,understanding them as betrayer.He was also an activist of Hindu Reformatory Society and his daughter having a rich boyfriend was something he could never accept.So, when he breathed last, he asked his daughter to leave me.Saying this, his soul left his body and so did mine.

Her father made a combo deal.He died with one soul and took another soul with him.

But now,as I saw her after so many years,I broke my promise.I shed a tear.The bus was fully-packed but my eyes were on her only.

Fate had drawn us apart,but has brought a renewed hope again.

I reached my wallet and took out the ragged paper from the coin pocket. It had OUR LOVE IS ABOVE SKIES written by Naina.I had preserved it.She used to call it our little‘love certificate’.It was so beautiful that my lips curved a smile again.

I remembered our lovely walks in the beach-side.I remembered how she used to hold my hand in the library, aside the bookshelf.I remembered how we used to mimic her father’s Words.I remembered how she used to tell that we own the world.I remembered her every nuisance and playful act,I recalled every breath we took together.

So today,I wanted to approach and surprise her. She would be very happy.
