My lost but found treasure
She asked me to pose near the steep slope of the hill…i do according to her wish…
“smile karo na…”she keeps on instructing about my gestures…
“hey…do it fast na…”I said in fear…
“ok ok…but little bit smile please…”saying that she grinned and asked me to pose the same…
I did the same…she captured it in my camera…
“now over na…”I comes forward…
“Statue!!”she said..i freezed at the same place…
Others may think that we are behaving like a kids…but that’s true…we are kids at heart…
She asked me to give another pose in that place…
“are you crazy…when I looks down it was like a suicide point for me..am shaking here Ragini…”I said in fear…but I know she won’t listen to me…
“shake that too…”she exclaimed…
I amazes whenever she behaves like a kid…is her character like that or she is doing it intentionally… whatever it may be we love each other…but the bitter truth is that our love will last only for a week…
After her surgery she will forget me…
Few days back…
@@@@@@@@@
Somewhere in Alapuzha…i was capturing some nature’s beauty of the god’s own land…the land of heaven…
Nothing wrong in mentioning it as a land of heaven…it shows many antics to me…especially I found my love here…
Ragini…she is my girl…no am not boasting…yes it was love at first sight for me…
I saw her once I was capturing the top view of the waterfalls…eventhough I love adventures but I fear reaching that place…
But she is not like me…she casually went through just like it…infact she helped to reach over there…she is my Ragini…
Ragini Gadodia? who is an cardiologist from Mumbai and she loves doing adventures…
And you all know about me…myself Laksh Maheshwari ? fun loving…to the world people says me as an successful entrepreneur but to me I am a part time photographer who loves nature…
I came here @Alapuzha for my project deal and also for my documentary about nature…
Everything is over except the last part which needs to reproduce the top view of that waterfalls…basically am not a adventurous guy but I love fun and photography…there I met my girl Ragini…
But I break the interlude of silence and proceeds talking with her…
“hai am laksh…chairman of Maheshwari group of companies…and a professional photographer…and u..”I introduced myself to her…
“oh…photography…sounds cool yaar and by the way am Ragini gadodia…am an cardiologist @ Kolkata…you are from??”she initiated our convo…
“am from Mumbai Ragini…i came here for my project and to complete my documentary too…”I starts my blabbering…i know she will gets irritated with my attitude but the reverse of my thoughts were happened…
She is more talkative than me…i just asked her name only but she starts explaining her whole history…
I was just staring at her…like how she tucks her hair which is flying due to the heavy wind…the way her earings dances in the air…her eyes which is giving 1000’s of expressions every second…butterflies are flying in my stomach..hahaha…
She was describing everything about her which was like a fairy tale for me…
“laksh..”she holds me tightly and pulled closer to her…this happened because I stepped my foot over the mud which slids me outwards…i mean downwards…
“thank god…she saved me…”I said to myself when I looked downwards…
I again lost my balance and about to fall over her but I holds the tree for my balance…we somehow managed to cross over that mud area…
But what happened to her I don’t know she didn’t spoke up anything…may be she misunderstood me or she feels shy because of that incident…i starts panicking…
But I feels something weird…she feels weak and panting…
Suddenly I can’t believed my eyes…she falls down in my arms…her eyes were going upwards…it’s a kind of seizure(fits)…
I patted her cheeks…
“Ragini..Ragini…”I shouted…
Other than that I can’t do anything…infact my mind doesn’t works…why god has done this big thing to me…my love…she is dying in front of me…i starts cursing god for her state…
Suddenly I remember my bike keys which I kept in my pocket…i searched it…and finally got it…i pressed the keys in her hand tightly…
She becomes normal but still in unconscious state…
“Ragini…”I patted her cheeks again…she didn’t gain conscious…
I sprinkled little water over her face and rubs it…
She slowly opened her eyes…I slowly lifts her to make her sit and hugged her tight…
I know she will get shocked with my attitude…she didn’t raised even a single word…
“you ok na..”I said by cupping her face…
She nods…i didn’t asked her the reason for her health issues…
That moment I feels like am dying…my soul went away from me…i felt that pain…i felt like that was my last day in the world..
I made her stand by wrapping her hands over my neck…she could not walk because of the weakness..i felt that when she struggles proceeding further…
I didn’t ask her and lifted her in my arms…
“it’s ok laksh…i will walk by myself..”she uttered…i glared her…she stops her blabber…
I smiled at her stupidly…even now I didn’t asked her about the reason behind her illness…
She starts again…
“I thought you would ask me…”she uttered in a cracking voice…
“What!!”I blinks like I can’t understand her words…
“My health conditions…i thought u…”she got interrupted by me…
“I don’t want to…”I said because my heart is not ready to accept anything…
“but I have to explain na…because you saved me…”she holds me tightly…
I gave her a blank expression…
“it’s a kind of seizure…i mean fits…it’s the third time I am undergoing it…”she said I one go…
I was shattered…”third time…what would be the reason for that…may be due to stress…no she is not like that..she is so cool…due to climate…may be but she is saying that it’s the third time…may be gene problem…aahh…”I starts panicking inside…
“you would be quite shock…i know…it’s due to an accident…”she made me curious in the issue…
“accident..”I was shocked…
“yes…6months…after finishing an surgery while returning to my home I held up with an accident…some peoples in highway admitted me in the hospital…nothing happened to me..but a blood clot in my brain…which can only cured by surgery…and the thing is that I undergo short term memory loss…if I undergo that surgery my 6 months will get vanished…i will forget everything about this months and I will be able to remember everything that happened before 6 months…i don’t want that pain…due to that clot fits may come anytime…”she said by wiping her tears…
I was dumbstruck..i don’t know what to do…tears were gushing out like a stream…
“why you were crying..”she rubbed my tears…
“I will be ok soon..the operation will be done after 10 days…don’t worry…but before that I want to enjoy my life..so I came here…but there are some complications too…so I want to enjoy the places where I wish to go during my childhood…i know why you’re blinking…she said that she lost her memory but now she is saying her childhood wishes uh…i read everything about me in the diary which I wrote before my memory loss…now see I got your company..but it will fade away within 10 days”she smiled…
But I was crying again…”Ragini…i wanna tell you something…i don’t want to be your lost memory…i want to be your life…which gives only happiness…i love you..will you be my better half…”I said in one go…
She tries to free her from my arms…I understand her uneasiness…
She walks past me…i felt embarrassed…
“did i asked anything wrong…”I shouted…
She turns and says”nothing wrong in your proposal…but our adventures…your funny talks…your proposal won’t be in my mind…after 10 days..i don’t want your life in a disaster…that’s why I said…”she explains me…
“but I don’t want to hear any theories from you…i just want to say…that’s it…my heart is light now…”I grinned…
“but you can be friend with me..”she smiles…
We intertwined our hands together and walks down the way to reach my bike…
I asked her that I will drop her…she nods…
“but one condition…”she asked the keys…
I said” it’s with you only…”
She then starts the bike and asks me to sit beside her…i gave her “no way” reaction…but nodded at last…
Not bad…she is very good racer…i felt like i have chosen a very perfect match for me…i smiled unknowingly while thinking about her…
“what!!”she says by seeing the side mirror…
I nodded negatively…she then applied brakes…we reached some place looks like an cottage…
There her parents were waiting for her…they ran towards her when they saw us…they hugged her tight…
“where you went laadoo…”they asked at the same time…
She explained everything…her father comes to me and folds his hands and thanked me…
Likewise we spent our days together joyfully…
@@@@@@@@@@
“oiii!!”some hands shook me…i came out from trance…
“see these pictures…is it cool na…”she said by showing some pictures…
But I was staring her…”kya”she lifts her eyebrows…
I nodded my head negatively…
“let’s go…”she drags me…
Everything seems to be perfect but that incident…
I felt some shaking feel in my foot…
“Ragini…something weird na…”I holds her hand tightly…suddenly it was shaking…yes landslides…
We ran towards the safe area…i feel the fear in her eyes…we reached the roadway…but I slipped…
“laksh”she shouts…
I was falling down…she shouts even more seeing downwards…i saw her fainting…someone holds her…i didn’t hear her voice or anything…i was blank…
@@@@@
Finally I opened my eyes…it was like a medical camp…
“where I am…”I was shouting like a mad…
Doctor came and checked my temperature and asked me to calm down…
“Ragini…Ragini…”I keep on calling her name…
I removed the trips from my hand…and ran towards the frontward…i enquired about Ragini…
They checked the list of exit patients and said that her parents takes her from here…
I asked the doctor about how could I came here…he said that I got stucked in the branches of the tree and the army service people saved me and admitted here…
It’s been a week I got admitted here…i ran outside and stops the cab and reached her cottage..but couldn’t found her…
Then only I remember her words…”my operation will be held after 10 days”…
“laksh..she would have forgotten you…”I cried more than that I could not do anything…
My dad came after hearing the news about landslides and tooks me with him to Mumbai…
!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!#*!
After 1 year…
I came to same Alappuzha…the same cottage…just to remember my happy moments with her…
I decided to go to the same waterfalls…but this time more confidently without fear…after meeting her fear is not in my dictionary…
I wish to see her atleast once…but I know she won’t remember me…
It’s 5:45 in the evening
While enjoying under nature’s lap…time is not a matter..but being here will cause trouble for wildlife and also to my life too….
So I got up and proceeds to walk downwards…
On the way I saw a peacock dancing beautifully…i wanna capture it in my cam…it’s a sigh for rain…
My vision got blurred…i rubbed my eyes…
“Ragini…”I was shocked to see her…
I don’t know whether she heard my voice or not…but am sure she can’t because of the birds singing…
But to my surprise she turned back and sees me…
She stands in shock and gave me a blank expression…i don’t want to disturb her with my past…i know she would have forgotten me…
My heart is saying to hug her but my mind is saying not to disturb her..because sometimes shock will create worse health issues…
I came here to recreate our moments and god gave me surprise by bringing her back over here…this is enough for me…i would live my life with this happiness…
By controlling all my emotions I walked past her…
I felt some hands wrapping around me from behind…
“just an hallucination”I proceeds further…
“it’s not an hallucination Mr.Lakshya…”she whispered in my ears and pinched me…
I was quite shocked and surprised too..oh my god she remembers me…
“Ragini how did you…”i got interrupted because she pressed my lips…
I was panting…
“do you remember me..”I said by cupping her face…
“no…”she said…
“but how did you know my name and all….”I got confused…but her answers gave me Goosebumps…
“I saw you in my dream..”she made a puppy face…
“really!!”I was surprised again…
“daily you disturb me in my dreams…”she makes a pout…
“areyy waah laksh…you disturbed her daily..that too in dreams…not bad..”I murmurs…
“then how did you came over here…”I amazes…
“my diary took me here…your disturbance made me crazy…i know you would be linked somewhere in my past…i asked my dad that did i wrote anything about that happened in that 6 months…he gave me that diary…then only i came to know about you…i came here every 2 months to search…finally my day is good…i got u back in my life…”she hugged me tightly…
I was astonished…I don’t know what to do…i thanked god for bringing me back in my life…she is my lost but my found treasure…
“But how do you know that it was me…”I asked one idiotic question…
“you are such an idiot…”she handover something to me and walked past me…
I was stunned when I opened that bag…i saw my picture which she took a year ago…our last beautiful moment together…she draw the same thing..aww she is an awesome artist…why not she??she draw it without seeing me directly I mean seeing me in dream itself…
And a note is attached with it…
A small note for you my love…this one’s for you…Mr.Lakshya
@@@@@@@@@
I’ve seen some dreams, I’ve thought of some colors,
Now I’ve thought of my tomorrow with you,
In this way, whenever you are with me,
Everything is like pages of a story…
@@@that note ends…
I don’t know what to do after reading her note…i ran towards her and hugged her tight…i got teary eyes…
“I love you laksh…”she said brushing the ground…
“I love you too Ragini…”I kissed her cheeks…
@@@Happy waala ending @@@
I know this one is an old concept…but am so sorry if you didn’t like it…
