Le ja mujhe saath tere (Take me with you) Part 1
I dedicate this story to my friend Revu who wants me to write a story on Naren-Nandini.
Nandini’s phone started ringing.
Her face blossomed seeing her best friend’s name on the phone.
She picked up the call:Hi Naren!
Naren:Hi Nandini!Can you come home?
Nandini:Sure.But why?
Naren:I have prepared a caramel custard.It’s my first attempt in cooking.So I want you to be the first person to taste it.
Nandini:Wow! Caramel custard! I love it.I am so excited to have it.I will come there.
Naren:Yes..come soon.I am preparing potato dish also.
Nandini:Full cooking..cool.Carry on.
Nandini reached Naren’s home.
Naren was cooking.
Nandini:Arey wah Naren!Nice smell is coming.I am sure that it is yummy.
He smiled.
Suddenly by mistake his hand touched the hot pot.
Naren:Ahh!
Nandini:Oh no…
Nandini put cold ice on it.She started blowing air in his palm.
Naren smiled.
Naren:I am lucky to get a caring friend like you.
Nandini:Don’t praise me too much.I came here to have your food.
He smiled.
He served her the dishes.
After eating them,she said:Wow!It is yummy.I should marry you.Then I can eat tasty food daily.
Naren:What?Do you have any plan to marry me?
Nandini became dull.
Nandini:I was just joking.Be cool.
Naren:I know that you were joking.After all we are just best friends.
She became dull again.
She thought:Only best friends?
Naren:But you should surely marry a chef who can feed you good food.Because you don’t like cooking.
They both laughed.
Suddenly Nandini noticed that her earring was missing from one ear of hers.
Nandini:Where is my earring?I lost it.
Naren found the earring from the floor and took it.
Naren:Hey…I found your earring.
She was relieved.
He put the earring on her ear.She felt goosebumps as his finger rubbed her skin.
Naren and Nandini were in an amusement work.They were in the giant wheel.
Nandini was getting scared while looking out.
Nandini:I can’t sit here anymore Naren.I want to get down.
Naren:What are you saying Nandini?
Nandini:I feel scared while looking out.
Naren:Nandini…relax.
Why are you looking outside?We are inside.We should enjoy the ride.
Nandini:I did’nt know that it was scary before getting inside.Otherwise I would not have tried this ride.
Naren:Don’t be scared.I am with you.If you are scared,just look at my eyes.When you look at my eyes,your fear will disappear.
Nandini stared at his eyes.They both were in deep eye lock.
The giant wheel reached the floor and everyone started getting out.
Naren:We have come down Nandini.
Nandini was surprised.
Nandini:I did not even know when we reached down.
Naren:I told you that you won’t be scared if you look at my eyes.It’s right.
Nandini smiled.
She thought:I did not realise my fear because I was lost in your beautiful eyes.I felt so romantic that time.It was so beautiful.
Nandini was sitting with her cousin Nitya.
Nitya:Nandini,you love Naren.Why don’t you confess your love to him?
Nandini:I am going to propose to him.I will do that soon.
Nitya:Have you met his family?
Nandini:No.His family is in Delhi.He is staying in Mumbai for his job.
Nitya:Okay.
Days passed…
Nandini dressed up well.
Nitya:Today you have dressed well.Why Nandini?Are you going to meet Naren?
Nandini blushed:Ya.I am going to propose to Naren.
Nitya:Wow!That’s nice.
Nandini went to meet Naren.
Before she could propose to him,Naren said:Nandini,I have a surprise for you.You will be surely shocked.
Nandini:What’s the surprise?
Naren:It’s the most beautiful secret of my life.
He showed her some photographs.
Nandini could not believe her eyes as Naren was with another girl in the photographs.
She was broken.
She thought:Naren loves another girl.He considers me only as a friend.
She felt that her head was spinning.
Naren:You got shocked?
Nandini:Naren…I need to go back now.
Naren:What happened Nandini?Why suddenly..?
Nandini:I am not feeling well.
Naren:I will take you to the hospital.
Nandini:No need.It’s my monthly stomach pain.If I go home and rest,I will be fine.
Naren:Okay.Take rest Nandini.
Nandini:Yes.
Nandini went back home.
Nandini sat on the bed and cried.
Nandini:Everything is finished.Naren loves someone else.
The next day Naren went near Nandini during the office break time.
Naren:How are you Nandini?Are you feeling better?
Nandini:Yes.
Naren:I could not complete saying about the girl in the photographs.
Nandini thought:I don’t feel like hearing about the girl Naren loves.She is my enemy.
Naren:She is Maitree.
Nandini:Naren,why did you hide this secret from me?
Naren:I wanted to surprise you.
Nandini thought:This was not a surprise,it was a terror.
Nandini:You could have told me about loving Maitree long ago.Then I would not have made myself a fool by loving you.
O…
Tere mere darmiyaan hain baatein ankahi
Tu wahaan hai main yahaan
Kyun saath hum nahin (x2)
Naren was stunned:What?
Nandini:Yes Naren.I love you.But you love Maitree.
Kyun saath hum nahin (x2)
Faisley jo kiye
Faasley hi mile
Raahein judaa kyun ho gayi
Na tu ghalat, na main sahi
Naren was shocked.
They stared at each other emotionally.
Le ja mujhe saath tere
Mujhko na rehna saath mere (x2)
Le ja mujhe… (x2)(Chef)
