dil nei kaisi harkat ki hei- A Short Story

"dil nei kaisi harkat ki hei,
pehli baar...mohabbat ki hei...
aakhri baar... mohabbat ki hei"


It was the same song which they loved to hear every time they used to travel in his car.
She used to gaze at him for long every time she heard this song.
Tears rolled out of his eyes. Today was not the same. Everything seemed so stopped for him.

Events started unfolding in front of his eyes. Today he had planned a beautiful dinner for her in their all time
favourite restuarant. A bouquet of roses still fresh as if they are still unplucked. A candle light dinner with a sweet
jazzy song in the background completed his menu for a perfect date.
No wonder he loved her from the bottom of his heart. He lived for her,laughed with her,cried for her.



He could remember the day when he saw her for the first time. Her beautiful curly hair,
Eyes which almost stopped everyones movements. She was just beautiful,very beautiful. An angel without wings.
He instantly fell in love with her.

Visuals just flashed by.






The day he had proposed, in front of the whole college, how she was embarrased as well as happy that a guy could love her so
much.
Her birthday,the huge cake which he had brought by saving his pocket money. The fights he had with his friends when they spoke against her.
Now he was almost crying. He was hardly able to control his emotions.


How could she? How can she? These words just rocked his heart and mind with the deepest echo he had ever heard.
She did come for the dinner but She was not herself. She was very quiet today. Very very quiet. He knew something was wrong.
He asked her,"Is everything ok karry?"


She looked at him,holded his palms and kissed his forehead. "I can't marry you amar",she said. Amar was shocked. He was speechless.
He looked at her. Amar asked,"They said no?". She calmly replied,"Yes".This was his last hope.He  shouted,"Let them have their desicion.
Lets run away karri. You know i can't live without you".

She was almost in tears. "I can't amar..you know that",she said. Amar did not know what to do.

It was his cast that came between their love. Karri's dad was a heart patient.
It would have been a crime if She would have left her parents just for her own happiness.
Amar had tried his best to convince her dad. She choosed her parents over him.
Today was her last try to convince them.

"They have decided my engagement date Amar. This is the last time i'm meeting you. I don't want to spoil our life. I know,if we
remain close to each other we would never forget each other", uttering this she picked up her bag looked at him for one last time
and left away.



He was shattered. He was heart broken. His tears were uncontrollable.
He increased the volume of the song and accelerated hard.
Images of karishma kept flashing in his mind. Suddenly he lost control of the vehicle and off it went towards the other side of the road.
A loud bang and a nasty collision. It was the last time he heard this song

"dil nei kaisi harqat ki hei....
pehli baar mohabbat ki hei...
aakhri baar mohabbat ki hei......"
