Together on more Valentine’s days
Dedicated to Swetlana Kapoor who wants me to write an OS including Swetlana.Thanks to Mansi for giving the idea to make Omkara and Swetlana siblings and thanks to Riana for giving the idea to make Swetlana a cupid in RiKara love story.
I am Omkara Singh Oberoi.Today there is a Valentine’s day party.All are dressed in red and white.But I am dressed in black.
My sister Swetlana scolded me:Bhai…What is this?Who will wear black for Valentine’s day party?
I chuckled:My dear sissy..I will wear black.Because I want to be different from everyone and I want everyone to notice me.
She ridiculed me:Yes…everyone will notice you for wearing black.They will think that you are crazy.
I just giggled.
As I expected everyone was looking at me.I enjoyed their attention.But i never thought that I will notice anyone.Yes,my eyes fell on a girl who was there at the party.Because she was also dressed in black like me.
I thought:Wow…finally I met someone like me.
Swetlana noticed me gazing at her.
She asked me:Are you looking at the girl in black?
I answered:Yes.Like me she is also dressed in black.
Swetlana smirked:Because she is also crazy like you.
I giggled.
Swetlana:She is my friend Gauri.
I was surprised to know that she is Swetlana’s friend Gauri.
Swetlana took me near Gauri and introduced me to her.Swetlana left leaving us alone.
I looked at her smiling.
I told her:Did you notice that we are the only people who are dressed in black?
Gauri:Yes.
I asked her:Why did you wear black dress today?
She answered:Just like you wear black,I also wore black.
I smiled:You are cool.
She said:Yes,sometimes I am cool.But now I am sad.
I asked her:Why are you sad on this romantic occasion?
Gauri:Swetlana brought me to Valentine’s party saying that I will find my soul mate here.But I did’nt find soulmate yet.
I felt like laughing at her childishness.But I wondered why Swetlana brought Gauri to the Valentine’s party assuring her that she will meet her soulmate.I saw Swetlana winking at me with a smile.
I was surprised to realize that purposefully my dear sister Swetlana brought Gauri to the party to make us meet each other.
I got a message in my phone.Hearing the vibration I took the phone and read the message.It was sent by none other than Swetlana.
“Bhai…how is Gauri?Did you like her?After knowing her I realized that there is no one who is better than Gauri for you.You both are alike.That’s why I arranged this meeting”.
I smiled reading her message and looked at Swetlana who was standing far.We both smiled at each other.She realized from my facial expression that I am flattered by Gauri’s charm.
I looked at Gauri deeply:You may have already met your soul mate.But you may not have recognized him.
Gauri looked at me deeply.Slowly a smile appeared on her face.I don’t know whether she smiled understanding that I am the one for her.But I just loved her sweet smile.
Swetlana was dancing with her lover Veer.
I held Gauri’s hand and asked her:May I have the pleasure to dance with you?
She nodded her head with a smile.I took her to the dance floor.
We swayed to music romantically.It was a beautiful moment.
Pyaar manga hai tumhi se
Mujhe pyaar karo
Aaj abhi zidd maano meri
Na intezaar karo
Main bhi dil ki sun raha hoon
Tum bhi dil ki suno
Pyar manga hai tumhi se
Mujhe pyaar karo
Tujhe paane ka junoon iss qadar hai
Tere khwabon se bhari yeh nazar hai
Zara dheere se mere paas aao
Tumhe kitna pyaar hai yeh batao
Pucho naa, bas dil de do
Mujhe pyaar karo…
Pyaar manga hai tumhi se
Na inkaar karo
Aaj abhi zidd maano meri
Na intezaar karo
Tu hai neele aasmaan ka musaafir
Chala aaya taaron se meri khaatir
Teri baahon mein ajab sa ik sukoon hai
Mujhe jaana ab kahin aur kyun hai
Tum meri bas meri ho
Mujhe pyaar karo
Pyaar manga hai tumhi se
Mujhe pyaar karo
Aaj abhi zidd maano meri
Na intezaar karo
Mujhe pyar karo
Na intezaar karo
Mujhe pyar karo
Na inkaar karo
Mujhe pyar karo
Na intezaar karo
Mujhe pyar karo
Na intezaar karo…( Armaan Malik – Pyaar Manga Hai )
Almost one year has passed.Gauri and I met frequently and we became friends too.
The propose day arrived.I decided to propose Gauri.
I was dressed in pure white.Like me Gauri came wearing a white attire.
We are always same when it comes to colours.I was lost in her angelic beauty.
She was looking like a fairy.I could not take my eyes off her.
Gauri was amazed by the decorations I made.
Gauri:Omkara…this looks so beautiful.
I said:But you are more beautiful Gauri.You look gorgeous now.
I loved the way she was blushing.
“I want to say something”,I said.
She replied as if she longed to hear what I was going to tell her.
Gauri:Say Omkara.
I never knew that I could be shy while confessing my love to her.I held her chin softly and said,
“I love you Gauri”.
She was surprised.
“I want to know your reply”.I said.
She was blushing silently.
I held her hand and danced.
Mere rang mein rangne waali
The one who is colored in my colors…
Pari ho ya ho pariyon ki rani
Are you a fairy or the queen of fairies?
Ya ho meri prem kahaani
Or, are you my love story?
Mere savaalon ka jawaab do
Give me the answer to my questions.
Do na
Do tell.
Mere rang mein rangne waali
Pari ho ya ho pariyon ki rani
Ya ho meri prem kahaani
Mere savaalon ka jawaab do
Do na
Bolo na kyon ye chaand sitaare
Tell me, why do the moon and the stars…
Takte hain yoon mukhde ko tumhaare
touch your face just so?
Bolo na kyon ye chaand sitaare
Takte hain yoon mukhde ko tumhaare
Chhooke badan ko hava kyon mehki
Why is the wind so fragrant after rushing by your body?
Raat bhi hai behki behki
The night is also intoxicated.
Mere savaalon ka jawaab do
Do na
Kyon hon tum sharmaayi hui si
Why are you so shy?
Lagti ho kuchh ghabraayi hui si
You look a little nervous.
O Kyon hon tum sharmaayi hui si
Lagti ho kuchh ghabraayi hui si
Dhalka hua sa aanchal kyon hai
Why are you covered up so?
Ye mere dil mein hulchul kyon hai
Why is my heart in such a mayhem?
Mere savaalon ka jawaab do
Do na
Dono taraf benaam si uljhan
On both sides, there is an unnamed frustration…
Jaise mile hon dulha dulhan
as though a bride and groom have come together.
Dono taraf benaam si uljhan
Jaise mile hon dulha dulhan
Dono ki aisi haalat kyon hai
Why are both of us like this?
Haan phir itni mohabbat kyon hai
Yes, why is there so much love between us?
Mere savaalon ka jawaab do
Do na
Mere rang mein rangne waali
Pari ho ya ho pariyon ki rani
Ya ho meri prem kahaani
Mere savaalon ka jawaab do (MPK).
We had a passionate embrace.
I smelt her fragrant skin and leaned towards her pink cheek to peck her with my love.
She closed her eyes passionately letting me come closer to her.
But suddenly she moved backward shocking me.
Her words were more shocking to me.
Gauri:Stay away from me Omkara.
I asked her:Gauri,are you in senses?
Gauri:I was not in my senses for a few moments.I had forgotten myself for a few moments.But now I know what I am doing.
I told her:I know very well that you love me.
Gauri:But i did’nt tell you that I love you.
I said:Without saying anything I could understand your feelings for me.
Gauri’s eyes got welled up with tears.
I asked her:Your eyes also tell the same.Then why are you suppressing your love Gauri?
Gauri:Don’t ask me anything.I am going.
I lost my temper for the first time before her:You can’t go without answering me Gauri.
Her tear drops fell down.
Gauri:I am diagnosed with a heart disease Omkara.My life may not last long.Then how can I accept you?
I was shocked.I was shattered.I was scattered into pieces.
My lips shivered:What did you say Gauri?
Gauri:Yes Omkara.I am a heart patient.
“But because of this reason how can you leave me and go Gauri?You can’t stay away from me.Marry me Gauri”
My emotions burst out.
She wept:No Omkara.Knowing my condition I can’t put your life in distress.
“No Gauri.You are not putting me in distress.Whether it’s moment of grief or not being with you is my happiness”.
I said holding her hand.
Gauri said shedding tears:Leave my hand Omkara.
I ignored her words.
But she removed my hand off her and walked away.
I cried pleading her not to go.But she just left.But i could hear her sobs.
Swetlana who oversaw it hugged me to console me.
“Bhai…don’t cry…I can’t bear it”.
Swetlana met Gauri.
Swetlana:I can understand your point of view Gauri.You are going away from bhai to not make his future painful,But you understand one thing Gauri.Om bhai cannot live without you even for a moment.If you leave him,his heart will break and he will lose himself.If he loses his present how can he have a future?Instead of thinking of future you think of present.Life is more important in present”.
Her words pricked Gauri’s heart and her tears flowed down.
Valentine’s day reached.I am at a Valentine’s party now.I remembered meeting my Gauri for the first time in last year’s Valentine’s party.I could’nt control my tears.I wished to see Gauri in this Valentine’s party too.My wish got fulfilled when I saw Gauri coming.
Saathiya…Saathiya…
My happiness knew no bounds.I ran towards my Gauri.Our eyes spoke the language of silent love to each other.
Saathiya…Saathiya…
“Gauri”,my lips shivered.
Gauri looked me at emotionally:Omkara…
We don’t know how long we looked at each other’s emotional eyes.
O re piya, o re piya, o re piya..
Tere liye tarse, bin ghata barse
Tere liye tarse, bin ghata barse
Mora jiya…
O re piya, o re piya, o re piya..
I said:Thank you so much for coming.I missed you.
Her reply made me happy:I also missed you.
I asked her:Then why don’t we end this distance and come closer?
She was silent.But I knew that she too wanted it.
Tere liye tarse, bin ghata barse
Tere liye tarse, bin ghata barse
Mora jiya…
O re piya, o re piya, o re piya..
I said:Don’t worry about your heart disease.No medicine is more powerful than love for a heart.I assure you that my love will cure your heart.
She smiled tearfully.
Tadpaye mujhko teri chahat ki baatein
Bojh hai lagti tere bin saansein
Tadpaye mujhko teri chahat ki baatein
Bojh hai lagti tere bin saansein (x2)
I proposed her again:I love you Gauri.Will you be mine?
She replied:Till now I did’nt reply to your proposal.But now I am confessing my feelings.Yes..I love you.And I want to be yours.
We both smiled emotionally.
I said:You don’t know how much happiness you gave me now”.
She said:I am the most happiest person as I got a person who loves me so much that now I am devoid of the fear regarding my disease.I am sure that your love will make me healthy and I will live long.
I caressed her face smiling.
Milti hai yaadein charon pehar se
Tere liye tarse, bin ghata barse
Tere liye tarse, bin ghata barse
Mora jiya…
O re piya, o re piya, o re piya, o re piya…
I brought her closer to me.I caressed her hair
and removed her hair clip.
She did’nt understand why I did so and looked at me clueless.
I just smiled saying:You look more beautiful with open hair.
She smiled cutely.
Aas mein teri jaage
Soye nahi aankhen
Lagti hain sooni
Taaron bhari raatein
We both came closer and got into a sweet romantic embrace.
Aas mein teri jaage
Soye nahi aankhen
Lagti hain sooni
Taaron bhari raatein
Swetlana came towards us.
“I am sorry to disturb you guys.I did’nt want to disturb you.But I could’nt help it.I just want to hug you both”.
She hugged us and said:You both are the best couple in this world.I am proud to say that I am the match maker of this beautiful couple.
We hugged her back and thanked her.
“Thank you so much Swetlana for making us meet.Because of you only we are together”.
She smiled walking away after wishing us “All the best”.
Gauri and I held onto each other hoping to spend more Valentine’s days together.
Mayush laute nazar-e-safar se
Tere liye tarse, bin ghata barse
Tere liye tarse, bin ghata barse
Mora jiya… o re piya…( Ek Kahani Julie Ki)
