Navya's room

Three of them are sitting in a circle with their mobiles thrown aside in pyjamas as they themed it as a pyjama party....mukni are waiting for nandu to start the story and putting full stop to their curiosity she began....

Nandu

So....hua yeh ki...when manik started to handle Manan Industries under dadu guidance then dadu and dadi started to live with us !! They tried to comfort us a lot but couldn't give us that feel which we used to get when our parents were alive !! We used to sleep in our old room itself but something was missing...so...I decided to talk to manik...it was not like he was the only one who was mine left but he was the only one who comes into mind whenever I need something !! Pata hain...jab amma appa zinda the tab bhi agar kuch chahiye hota toh I used to tell manik to ask them....shayad usliye hoga !! School se aane ke baad maine mani ko bol diya ki Iam not feeling good in our room...usne bas itna bola ki I will arrange something and next morning jab main uthi toh I was surprised kyunki my entire cupboard was empty....jab maine manik se poocha toh usne kahan ki "Jaake amma ke cupboard mein dekho"...I understood what he wanted to convey and happily went to amma's room...That night was the first time main akheli sone wali thi...I was not afraid for myself but manii....he can't sleep alone and moreover he was afraid of darkness !! I went to my room and waited for manik to come as I know he will come to my room and as expected after about 30 minutes there was a knock on my door....mani entered inside when I opened the door and sat on the bed !! I closed door and sat beside him....

Nandu:Kya hua mani ??

Manik(Innocently):As if you don't know !!

Nandu(giggling):pehle kyun nahin aaye ??

Manik:Kal raat ko maine decide kiya tha ki hum dono apne apne parents ke room mein shift honge as we can't live in a single room...aaj nahin toh kal you will need a separate bedroom but I can't sleep without you...so...I thought hum dono night ek hi room mein rahenge but dadu dadi may not like it...so...jab woh so gaye tab main yaha aayi !! Aaj se un dono ke sone ke baad hi main yaha aaunga !! Is it ok with you ??

Nandu:Ofcourse mani !! Aur yeh hum dono ka secret hoga...except our friends no one else will know this...par...a condition !!

Manik:and what's that ??

Nandu:hum dono ek din tumhare room mein soyenge aur ek din mere...teekhe ??

Manik(lying on bed):Ok !! Iam sleeping...jaldi so jao...good night !!

Nandu(throwing a pillow at him):kabhi nahin sudroge na ??

Manik just giggled and adjusted the same pillow under his head...he slept soon as he was tired due to office work and school work but mujhe neendh nahin aa rahi thi so I thought to see the room and moreover next day was sunday !! I decided to do drawing as it always gave me my peace....I sat on the study table which was my amma's as she used to love writing but dare anyone to even see what she writes...other than mom no one knows what amma used to write !!

I remembered that amma keeps her diary in the rack itself as no one ever touches it...I felt an urge to read it...may be I can miss her a little less...I took out her diary from the first rack and it was so beautiful !! I remember her saying that this diary was gifted by appa when he got to know that she was pregnant with me....she never writes diaries as according to her memories should be remembered in our heart but she loves writing !! Got confused right ?? Kya hain na...amma loves to write but her food recipes,articles,blogs and stories...

It was the same as I saw it when mom showed me for first time when I asked her about it as at that time I don't even know what a diary is !! I opened it slowly and first page has amma appa pic !! I have switched off main lights and switched on side lamp for my reading as now I was sitting on bed beside mani coz as usual he can't sleep without feeling me near him...earlier I used to be below him but now beside him !! I traced amma and appa faces.....

I turned page and there was my baby pic....

I was looking so cute....below it there was a quote written in italics as amma knows to write in few fonts !! The quote was...

"Be so happy that when others look at you they become happy too"

It was simple yet beautiful...i turned another page and there were amma words which shook me to the core...they were...

I know you will read this diary someday.....and I guess the day is here !!

I was having tears in my eyes as she already knew that I will be needing this diary someday....I turned the page and started to read...

Diary(nandu reaction in italics)

Kaisi ho nandu ?? I hope ab main tumhare saath hoon aur tum mujhse chupke yeh diary padh rahi ho...khaash aisa hota amma...acha !! Chodo...pata hain tu kitni badhi shaitaan hain ?? Bahut tang karti hain mujhe !! Par wahi mujhe aur khush kar deti hain ki tu aisi rehti hain jaise tu rehna chahti hain !! I wish ki tu humesha aise hi mastu karti rahe chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye...yeh diary tere appa ne tab gift kiya tha jab unhe pata chala ki Iam pregnant !! Woh chahte the ki main iss mein woh likhu jo main tujhse bolna chahti hoon...phir maine socha ki aisa kya hain jo main tujhe batana chahti hoon...phir laga ki pyaar kya hota hain isse jyada kya bata sakti hoon main tujhe ?? Tabhi likhna shuru kiya....par pata nahin kyun I left 3 pages !! Let's think about it later....I turned the page and there started the thing which amma wanted to convey....

Tujhe pata hain main aur teri appa kaise mile the ?? That was so funny....main mumbai aayi the as mujhe SPACE ACADEMY mein seat mila tha for cookery courses along with my bestiee nyo as hum dono ke bhai bhi usi college mein padh rahe hain woh bhi final year mein !! Raj bhai aur unke friend ek double bedroom apartment ko rent pe lekar reh rahe hain !! We both reached mumbai bus stand as we finished our study in dehradun and later applied in this college in same course !! Raj bhai came to receive us both and that was the first time bhai met nyo...may be that was my biggest mistake coz they both fell in love with each other at first sight itself !! Just kidding...that was the best thing to happen in my life kyunki meri one and only best friend fell in love with my lovely bhai...aww !! Life can't be more simple...ok...and...they both were so bold and open that bhai proposed her there itself to which nyo accepted his proposal and they both became couple...nyo said that her bhai also leaves in mumbai only with his best friend but were unaware that he was my bhai's bestfriend until we entered the flat and nyo hugged vishnu !! That was the most funny moment in my life as the way I saw your appa...it was so cute !! Dekhna chahti hain kaise...turn the page...

Yeh pic maine khud kheechi thi as I found it cute....haha...apla was looking so cute and funny !! He felt so embarrassed but can't help it as I already saw him like that...bhai just laughed his guts off and led us to our room as by that time vishnu left to his room !! We got freshen and reached downstairs where he arranged breakfast for us after dressing properly !! Hum dono bahut shy type the so itni asani se baat nahin kar paye...we joined in our college and days started to flow...we all used to enjoy except one fact that we both still didn't talked to each other freely but were each others company whenever bhai and nyo used to go for dates!! Vishnu was happy to know about their relationship and supported them...One day we four reached college as usual and noticed everyone roaming in corridors....there were banners fixed in entire college wishing Friendship day to all students and that was the moment I realized why nyo was taking extra efforts to get ready...I turned towards her and she smiled sheepishly at me !! I nodded my head in disbelief smiling and she hugged me before leaving with bhai...I thought I was left alone though I knew vishnu was there for me but still decided to not bug him more coz somewhere deep down I started to enjoy his company which I never felt in any of my friends presence as I used to have many male friends and I can notice the difference !! I don't want to force him to be with me so I made an excuse that I need to go to library but he stopped me by holding my hand...I was confused but turned around and he left my hand....with much difficulty he framed words and spoke these few words !!

Will you be my friend and spend sometime with me today ??

I was like...kya maine kuch galat suna ?? Yah phir...kya main hallucinate kar rahi hoon...but...No !! Expression on his face was the evidence that yes he himself spoke those words...I just nodded my head in yes and he smiled at me...bhai already took away his car and vishnu car was at flat !! We took a cab and left for mall....normally we will have our breakfast in canteen but today we didn't even entered the main door so thought to have breakfast there itself !! We had our breakfast and I was in a dilemma that what will he do...as in my sense he was so boring as that's what I thought till that day...but I was shocked as he proposed a movie for us both !! I just nodded in yes and he brought tickets...till he came I messaged everything to nyo as we both share all with each other....infact she even knew my feelings for vishnu !! You may ask me how did I got feelings for vishnu...well...that question is too tough to answer !! You may say it happens to each person at each age and you cannot blame age for that kyunki it's natural happening....he came with tickets and we went to Maine Pyaar Kiya movie as that was the famous movie in those days !! We went to that movie and you will not believe that was our first movie date in an indirect way...though he didn't mentioned so but I felt so....entire movie I felt us both in their place as our position was almost similar to them !! I was on cloud 9 and soon movie got over...we had lunch and roamed around mumbai...frankly speaking that was the time I realised that your appa was not at all boring...infact he was a perfect company !! We reached house but bhai and nyo were no where to be found...we had dinner waiting for them but they didn't came and finally torturing us for another hour they reached completely drunk....I hit my head as again they both partied hard even after my strong warning to not drink too much !! I was so gussa on both of them that after changing nyo dress and making her sleep I reached balcony in living hall but found vishnu already standing there....I stood beside him as he was standing with railing !!

Swara:Why are you standing here ??

Vishnu:Iam upset with Raj and nyo !!

Swara:Same here !! We need to teach them a lesson tomorrow !!

Vishnu:I was also thinking same and thought to ask you tomorrow but as you came here...we will do something tomorrow to make them realise their mistake...come..sit !!

We sat down near the wall...

Swara:Iam sorry for our first day experience !!

Vishnu(laughing):It's ok !! That was common thing to happen !!

We both laughed and remained quiet after sometime...though silence was prevailing yet it was comfortable !! Suddenly he held my hand feebly and turned towards me...I too turned towards him...

Vishnu:I should have told you this earlier but I will say it now...I...Iam in love with you !! Yeh mat poocho ki kyun aur kaise but yeh poocho ki kitna !! Itna ki I can spend my entire life with you !!

I was amazed as this friendship day became my valentines day....I just hugged him tightly and said I love you too !! He hugged me back when I said those words to him !! Next day we were having our morning coffee when the two devils we waited cane down and you know what was time ?? It was 11am !! Yes !! We skipped college and didn't had breakfast waiting for them but they were so busy in their hangover to even care about us !! Huh !! As decided we didn't reacted to them and they kept on shouting till realisation hit them that we both are angry on them...they understood reason behind it and promised to never repeat it again and they kept it till today by not drinking more than a formal glass !! We even shared our love matter with them...

Toh bacha....mujhe nahin pata ki ab tak tumhari age aa gayi hogi love ka meaning samjhne mein yah phir tumhari life mein love aayi hain yah nahin...agar tum bhi kisi ladke ke liye special feel karti ho aur want to know whether you love him or not...toh yeh diary padh lena...aur ek baar apne eyes close karke apne heart pe haath rakh ke be calm....the first face which appears infront of you is the person you love !! Woh mere aur apke appa hum dono ka bhi ho sakta hain...par bacha...agar woh ek ladke ka ho toh it can be friendship at rare case....so...aankhen kholo aur uss ladke ke baare mein sab yaad karo !! Agar tumhe har jagah pe woh sabse special laga then....you know what I mean...haina ??

Love you bacha !! Be happy always !! Hope you find your true love !!

Diary ends

I closed diary and thought to try it out kyunki I have a doubt in that matter and as if hearing my confusion amma made me read her diary !! I closed my eyes and I saw the face which I wished to see...I opened my eyes and kissed manik's forehead as I don't need another test to prove myself that manik is special to me !!

I may not update soon...hope you guys will wait till I return !!
