It was a cold winter morning. She was sleeping with all of the elegance on her face. The rising sun rays were feeling privileged to touch her soft cheeks. Outside the window, the grass were green and were completely misted over. With the first rays of sunlight falling on those grass, thousands of colors were praising mother nature. Suddenly the charm faded outside the window as inside she just woke up. Her pupils were contracted due to those mischievous light rays. Her pink lips just got activated and with a million dollar smile on her face, she stretched her hand above her neck and head. Her few of the disarranged and untied hair tried to touch her cheeks and were all along her thin neck and shoulder. She removed the blanket from her and searched for her chappals.
A female voice from the kitchen : Jaag jao beta...dekho subah ho gaya hai.....jaldi se fresh ho kar kitchen me aao.
Ritika : Haan Maa ...and she yawned. Her beautiful teeth were looking like 32 beautiful whitest stones from all over the world were collected and were fit on this extra ordinary beauty.
After 1 hour (on Breakfast table)
Ritika : Maa , do you know....today Raj is in town. You remember him na.!! He went for his studies and he is back after 5 years.
Maa : Raj, wo lafanga....haan pata hai....jab 12th me tha tab se uske haav bhaav dikne lage the.... Road par har ladki ko rok kar bolta tha... " Hi....main Raj....naam to suna hi hoga"
Ritka : Maa, aapko to har ladka hi kharaab lagta hai..agar aisa raha to main kunwari hi marr jaungi...(giggling)
Maa : (in a bad tone) Badi fikar hai apni shaadi ki...ruk bulati hun tere papa ko !!!
Ritika : (Finishing her meal and running away from the table)...Haan bula lo...wo bhi waise ladka dhoondhne me hi busy honge abhi.
FLASHBACK ( 5 years back)
On a colony road....
Raj : Hi..main Raj...naam to suna hi hoga.
Ritika : Mera boy freind hai..uska naam sunaun ?
Raj : 100 me se 90 ladkiyan mujh jaise lover boy se darr ke aisa hi kehti hain !!
Ritika : Achha.....tumhara matlab hai ki main..Ritika Bajaj, tum jaise sadak chaap se darr gayi.....Oyee mister...raaste se hato warna aisa watt lagaungi ki Munna bhai bhi bachane nahi aayega !!!
Raj : Waise, tumhe pehli hi mulakat me tumhe mujhse pyaar ho jayega, ye mujhe nahi pata tha...kaafi style se naam bataya hai apna !!!
Ritika : Achhaa... abb mujhse tumse pyaar bhi ho gaya hai!!!!...sadak chaap..hatt jao !!
...and she acted very violently. Raj was slapped in public. The marks were so deep that Congress party would have hired him for their next elections. For the next few days, Ritika didn't saw any such activity in her colony and she started boasting in front of her friends as she eliminated several miscreants in her colony single handedly. (of course exaggerated version of what has actually happened.)
After few days, there was a society party in the colony. Everyone assembled together for a general dinner party. It was arranged in a football field in the colony which was turned into a attractive party place by putting a large bivouac and colorful lights. Not to mention, Raj and Ritika were also the very honored guests.
Ritika (to her Maa) : Ye kaun hai ??
Maa : Beta, Ye Raj hai...iska naam to suna hi hoga !!...
Humare society ke naye chairman , Mishra ji ka beta hai. Is saal hi iski family idhar aayi hai.....Suna hai ki padhai me bada tez hai, par hai bada lafanga. Recreation ke naam par ladkiyon ko chedta hai !!!
Ritika : Hmmmm....baat karne padegi (in a very feeble volume and very mischievous mood)
Ritika : Hi..Raj.. kaise ho...
Raj : Tum ????
Ritika : Haan...pehchaana...wo us din sadak par...munna bhai...watt !!
Raj : Dekhiye....abb jo bhi hua usse bhul jaiye..mere papa idhar hi hain...
Ritika : Waise, us din thoda zayada hi ho gaya tha...sorry for that !!...waise I am ...
Raj : Ritika... Ritika Bajaj...jisne mere kaan ke neeche baja diya tha !!.....
Ritika : (laughs)... waise tum ladkiyon ko chedne ke alawa aur karte kya ho ?
Raj : (laughs) I just got admission in an engineering college. I will be joining my college after this week.
Ritika : Hey...its good talking to you. Why don't we meet in CCD tomorrow evening, if you can spare time from flirting with girls on the road.
Raj : Sure..why not !!!
And then they started meeting. The cupid struck the couple and both were in deep love with each other. But, neither of them proposed to each other. Both knew that the other feels the same way the one feels and this feeling was enough for them to feel their happy future life. Raj went to his college. Both used to chat on google talk and were very expressive on that. Their favorite game was Truth and Dare on chat. They used to ask lots of silly and funny questions for truth and they used to ask for most stupid stuffs to do for dare. For example, once Ritika asked Raj to put Rakhi sawant's pic on his orkut display pic and to change his display name as " I love Rakhi"
One day :

Today :
Time : Afternoon
Raj : (At Ritika's house) Hello Aunty.... kaise hain.... Ritika kahan hai ??
Ritika's Maa : Beta, wo to abhi abhi tum si hi milne airport gayi hai...tum waise itni jaldi kaise aa gaye.
Raj : Aunty wo meri flight kaafi zayada delay ho gayi thi technical failures ki wajah se...to maine wo ticket udhar hi cancel kara kar uske 1 gahnte pehle wali doosri flight le li. Aur mujhe kisi ko inform karne ka time hi nahi raha.... waise aunty..main Ritika ko pick karne airport jaa raha hun...abhi kuch der me wapas aaya.
Raj Rushed towards his home got his bike and rushed towards airport.
I will surprise her. I will go to the airport and tell her everything what I have in my heart. Now , I have a job and now, I can propose her and can act with responsibility.Now I can ask her to be my everything. I will tell her that she is the most beautiful thing which has ever happened to me. To meet her was the best combination of stars for me. Today I will go and tell her that there will be lots of hands to wipe your tears down, but you will never find mine as I would never let you cry. I will explain her that for every drop of her tear, there will be a day less in my life.... I will.........
Raj was driving his bike above 100 KMPH and was completely lost in his coming beautiful future. Suddenly he felt a big jolt. His bike came down to zero speed within 5 secs. There was an accident. he hit some rickshaw and the rickshaw toppled and got hit by a truck coming from the other side of the road. He was so selfish to meet Ritika that he quickly started his bike and ran towards the airport without paying much attention to the road mishap as this was very much normal in such a big herded city. He reached airport. But Ritika was not there. He tried her mobile but the phone was switched off. He rushed back to Ritika home.
Ritika Home
Lots of people were standing in front of her house. Raj was not feeling good then. Some thing was screeching in his ears which he was not able to withstand by. He heard some one crying. It was Ritika's mom voice. What has happened !!!....
He saw his mother standing in the crowd. He rushed with uneasiness and asked her !!!
Raj : Maa, what has happened ?
Raj's mother : Beta, There is a hit and run case. Ritika met with and accident. She was injured badly when a truck hit her. She didn't survived beta...she didn't !!!!!!
Raj became speechless ...... once again all the thoughts what he was thinking on his bike trip to airport, came back to his mind. He collapsed and met a nervous breakdown. He got admitted in a hospital.
After few days, Raj is discharged from the hospital. Now he do not speak much. Every night, he sits on his terrace and looks at the sky searching for her. There is always a question on his face.
Why an Incomplete Love story for me ?
