Chapter 1
The first time she was around him, she went unnoticed. The next time they met, she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. To him, Natasha was like the most beautiful swan he could ever imagine. She had a pale porcelain face, her hair were jet black and straight as a pin. Her blue eyes were like the clearest of skies. Her lips reminded him of berries that had just reached their harvest peak. Her walk was very regal and princess like. When she stood in the middle of the crowd, an aura formed a circle around her that separated her from the rest. She was perfect.
Their meeting was subtle. She said her condolences for the loss of Alex’s mother and left. Nevertheless her image shaped a house in his mind. Just a few days ago, he had lost hope of a good life. His mother was dead, father cared the least about him, sister would be leaving soon and he was never on good terms with his brother. Natasha brought a new optimism in Alex’s life. Though he had met her countless times before, it was the first time he had exchanged words with her. Those few words meant a lot to him. From this moment on their life’s were going to change forever.
------------------------------------------
“What have you done!?” Alice inquired.
“Me? Umm…I kind of don’t remember doing anything.” Natasha wondered.
“Alex is crazy about you. He keeps asking me about you all the time. ‘How is Natasha? What is she doing? Does she need any help?’Blah, blah, blah.”
“Yea right. Tell me why would he do that?”
“That is what exactly I wanted to know. So what have you done to my brother?”
“I would tell you if I knew. But as far as I can guess, I don’t know anything.”
“And am I supposed to believe you?”
“Hell yeah!”
“All right then, if you say so. Anyways, I have to leave now. I’ll catch you later. Bye”
“Bye.” Alice got up and left.
No wonder why Alex has been bugging me so much. He likes me. That was all Natasha thought of on her way to home. If Alex has liked her so much then why didn’t he tell her? Why on earth would he hold back? Natasha wanted to pour out her thoughts in front of Alex. Still something held her back. It was her life. Whatever she desired the most was always taken away from her - lost in the world, never to be recovered again. Would the world take away Alex from her too at a time when she would want
him the most? How could she ever trust her life? It had betrayed her, time to time. When dreams seemed real for her, they were shattered.
Two lives were set forth for her. The life where she would find Alex and perhaps the long lost happiness or the life that would take her away from Alex but not betray her in a manner it had done before. She now was like a flower that had endured innumerable tempests, stood tall but wearied off. She knew she would not be able to face another tempest. So she chose the second life.
------------------------------------------
Ring ring… ring ring…
“Hello.” Natasha thought she was dreaming.
“NAT…” Alice shouted on the phone.
“Al, what happened? Are you okay? AL!” Natasha was awake.
“I need to tell you something.” Alice was panting on the line.
“At 4 o’clock in the morning. You must be kidding me!”
“No I’m not. Alex is getting married.” She couldn’t believe what her ears had just heard. Alex was getting married. MARRIED!
“You are joking…” Please tell me you are joking. “… He is just 20.”
“Yeah, so what? Can’t he get married?”
“NO!”
“Chill sweety. He’s a guy. He had to get married one day…” Sure but why to someone else? “…plus why did you react that way?” Because he likes me, doesn’t he? “Aren’t you happy?”
“Yea, sure I am.”
“Doesn’t sound like it.”
“I’m just sleepy. That’s it. I’ll call you in the morning. Good night.” She slammed the phone and tried to sleep. Why was she feeling this way for him? She had decided to stay away from Alex’s way, then why this feeling of jealousy, of hatred for him, of love for him. Why?
------------------------------------------
“I have no time Al. Just give me Alex’s house address.”
“Wait…” God she’s slow “…yeah, write it down.”
“Thanks a lot.”
“What happened?”
“Nothing. I’ll tell you later. Bye” And she slammed the phone again.
------------------------------------------
“Umm…hi.” Natasha thought she was at the wrong house.
“Hey.”
“Is Alex here?”
“Oh yea, please come in.” Who is this girl and why is she in Alex’s house?
“You must be Alex’s fiancé.” Natasha inquired as she sat on the sofa.
“Fiancé-“The girl looked confused “-well-“
“Who’s there Kat?”
The girl looked at Natasha for an answer “I’m Natasha.”
“It’s Natasha.” She replied back.
“Oh…ok…I’ll be right out.”
“So, I’ll leave now. Alex might not want me to stay.”
“So you are telling me that you won’t have any problems with that!” Natasha doubted her.
“I guess not. I don’t seem to find any reason. Anyways bye.”
“Ok. Bye.” And the girl left.
The room was filled with pictures of Alex’s childhood, of his mother. Everything in the house was so alive. Every color perfect, every thing in the right place. Who wouldn’t want to live in a house like this…with Alex? Alex, the love she had lost for no reason. Alex, how she wished he was hers. Alex, how hot he looked without a shirt!
“I’m sorry for being late. Just takin’ a bath.”
“I can see that. But what can I do about that?” What got into her at that moment, even she didn’t know. She just wanted to shout at him.
“Are you okay?”
“Does it matter to you?”
“Chillax. I am sorry for whatever I seem to have done. You can leave if you want to!”
“Fine then, I’ll leave.” Did she go to Alex’s house for that? This was not what she wanted. Hell she didn’t.
“No, wait.”
“What?” She asked through gritted teeth.
“Is this what you came for?”
“No-“
“Then tell me what you cam here for.”
Natasha moved closer to Alex, so close she could feel his breath. “Are you-“ Natasha poked his chest “-GETTING MARRIED?”
“What is wrong with you lady?” He shook her hand away.
“Nothings wrong with me. It’s you who’s getting married.”
“Lady, you better come back to your senses ASAP or else-“
“Or else what? Huh! You, sir, are stupid!” She took a long deep breath.
“You-“
“Don’t talk.”
“Bu-“
“Nah! Don’t talk.”
And all Alex could do was to stand there and look at her beautiful face as she glared at him with eyes full of rage. And then she spoke.
“Answer me in no more that a word. Are you getting married?”
“No.”
“Do you like this girl, Kat or whatever her name is?”
“No.”
“Umm.No”
“That’s two words!”
“God what’s wrong with you?”
“What did I just say? You like someone else?”
“Yes.”
“Who?”
“Aaa-“
“A word that makes sense please.”
“You.”
“Yea whate- wait what did you say? ME?”
“Yup.”
“You like me!”
“Uhuh!”
“You sure?”
“Guess.”
“Guess what?” Alex stared at her with disbelief. “Oh, sorry. Go ahead, use more that a word to explain.”
“Thanks a lot and I guess so.”
“So you guess and you cant be sure."
“Fine, I’m sure I like, no, actually love you.” He loves me. He loves me. He freaking loves me! Natasha was on seventh heaven or maybe higher.
“Then why are you getting married?”
“Did Alice tell you that?”
“Yes! How do you know?”
“Wow, and you trusted her. That’s nice.” Natasha gawked at him blankly. “Don’t’ you get it! She knew I confess soon enough. But you- hah – no,no,no. It would be a crime for you. So she did that – what I take it to be – so that you could just utter your feelings. Kind of not hold them in.”
“I don’t get it. How could she be so sure that I like you? What I mean is that it could be a mistake or maybe it’s not a mistake but even then it could be one. Couldn’t it?”
For the first time ever, Alex saw love in her eyes- her love for him. Alex moved even closer to her. Drops of water from his hair fell on her shoulder. His breath pierced through her. Alex placed a hand on her face. A peculiar sensation trickled through her spine.
Alex spoke in a whisper, “Who cares about that? You love me and I love you. That’s more than we need. Much more.”
And they kissed. Alex’s free hand locked with hers. Her free hand tightened around his ribs. Their eyes closed and everything was just as she had imagined.
She sat huddled in the corner of the room, the gun still in her hand. Two bodies lay a few feet away, not far from each other. The tiles, once white, were covered with blood. They were circumscribed in their own blood.
There was a knock on the door. The only alive person in the house did not move. The knock turned into a rapid bang. The noise became deafening to her ears.
The last few hours had turned her life upside down. He had killed his brother, she had killed her husband.
The world she once thought as beautiful was now fragmentized into pieces.
Do you those times, when tention just surrounds you and you have no clue as to what should be done now? If so, then welcome to my world. And why on this wide earth would I feel so? Hah! No idea eh...well then, allow me explain the tragic course of my life.
Jannat is by far one of the best movies I have seen in my life. It surely ranks in my top 10. Seems like the Bhatts never run out of ideas. The theme holds strong for the whole film: "Simplicity is better than materialism". Unlike of what you might think, it is NOT a film based on bookies. It is purely a love story.
For sure the story revolves around the bookies world, but in the midst of all that, there is a girl, who for love's sake, buries her own happiness.
The story starts of in a simple and most typical manner. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, they do crazy things, the boy can go to any extent to keep his love happy. Arjun (Emraan Hashmi) is a middle class man with big ambitions. And his only way of achieving the impossible is by taking a shortcut. Zoya (Sonal Chauhan) is a simple orphaned girl with ambitions. The only difference is the way she wants to achieve her dreams. Arjun graduates from being a small gambler to the most favorite bookie. And this is when the story takes a turn. As Arjun digs deeper into the world of betting and fixing, he starts to lose his love. When Zoya finally finds our Arjuns truth, she hands him over to the police. Arjun spends time in jail and when is finally let out, he goes in search for Zoya.
After a series of emotional sentences, Arjun promises to leave this path and follow Zoya to happiness. But as it is, bad habits can never be destroyed. Arjun struggles to keep his life on track and one look of jannat, promises are forgotten. Zoya is aghast and can't believe that her trust has been broken twice. She forces him out of the house, but can't forget him. Before playing his one last fixture, things go amiss. He is blamed for a murder he hasn't committed. At that time the only person he wants to meet is his girlfriend. Once again, the girl asks him to surrender because she knows he is innocent. He obeys, but not long after Arjun dies in Zoya's arms.
Along with all that, there is something else that plays an important role in the film. A Ring. They meet because of the ring, Arjun goes to extremes to get that ring, he tries to give the ring its right place, he feels the burden on the ring on him, and he dies because of the ring.
Well yeah the story was not well placed, the emotions were not displayed well, their love was not given total justice. Yet this is one film that is not to be missed.
Have you ever had a day...where everything just goes wrong? Well today was my day. Life started of well in the morning. I was actually not feeling sleepy at all. Went to college... life started to move slowly (as always). But, god, I had NEVER asked for that much fun. My heart almost jumped into my hands when it happened. The reason behind, as I assume it to be, is that it happened for the first time to me! Well...even before that something happened which, I personally do not find the need to discuss...but to be short....IT WAS HORRIBLE!!
Moving on to the main event. How should I describe it? Well to start off... it was painfully dreadful. So here it goes. On two days...me and my classmates/friends/buddies etc. are free between the not-so-cool hours of 1 pm - 4 pm, which in turn, gives us 3 hours of nothingness. Obviously, since we are in an age of hyper activeness, we need a good past time, in which we do not have to stay in college and so we sometimes go out. Today was the sometimes when we have to go out. And our ONLY hope is always 'Sam the Great' (shes a girl btw and this is her nickname!), just because that lady has a car and is quiet a good driver. Since I have just got a license and am not that good at driving, so I practice in Sam's car (have done only once before and today was the second time).
Its only 5-8 minutes walk to 'Marry Brown', but since its so freaking hot in Dubai, you cannot possibly think of walking that short distance and so I insisted on taking the car (because i wanted to drive :)). So I parked the car safely in front of MB and we all were having a meal (4 girls) when three of our friends passed by MB, since they were headed for Caesar's (15 minutes walk from college). One of the guys, Taher, calls up and asks if Sam could drop them back to college just because they didn't wish to walk back in that hot, sweaty weather. We agreed.
So me and Sam left MB's to pick them up. And thus began the ride to our untimely, unneeded fate.
Sam took a u-turn and headed back for the college on the same road. Cars were parked on both sides of the road (it is a two way road without a divider). So from our side, a woman in Mazda 3 wished to go on the opposite lane. Her car was parked in a way that her cars front faced the road (she had reversed parked it!). We were about a 100m away when she moved her car out a little bit, so naturally, Sam slowed down to let her go but she stopped and so Sam accelerated. Again the lady moved out a little bit again (there was some space available between the main road and the parking). Naturally (again!) Sam decelerated the Mazda 6 but the stupid lady stopped again. And then Sam accelerated again. With only 10m gap left between the two cars, this time around, the lady got a move on and BANG! the two cars bumpers collided. I was sitting on the passengers front seat and the bloody car was so close to me. I had my coke in my hand and the only thing I could do at that time was *slurp*. I slurped the whole coke within 40 seconds.
WOW! Now that was something good eh. Well on Sam's request we left for college after 10 minutes of waiting. Whilst on my way to college, I saw the police car arrive and was happy to know that they arrived early.
For the first time EVER, thanks to this accident, I was actually awake in my Aircraft System Principles class. Hell yeah it was fun. It rocked...though I was scared!
why do people have problems when someone wishes to change for good? Can the change be so harmful to people that they give you the worst looks possible? I seriously don't understand why all that happens, but for once the person can be left alone. How hard is it to do so?
That is what i wanted to do and that is what i have done but suddenly it seems like a crime. My friends keep asking me questions that i don't want to answer, people show that they disagree with this change and all this ANNOYS me like hell. I just feel so frustrated. Its not there life, its MINE and ONLY mine. They have no right to get angry or mad at me. Plus some of them are not even friends who should get angry.
God...i don't know what to say. I just want to hang myself. You know what the problem is? They can't be ignored so easily either and that, my friend, is a killer.
I wish I could crush someone into pieces. People wish to rule over me...and i aint letting that happen...at least not now!
There are times when suddenly everything changes in life. People you have never liked, or thought no better of them have become important to you. Thats what happened to me this semester. I already had a good freind but then two people whom I never talked freely with just because I didn't like them that much seem to important to me now.
Usually when people tell me that there is something I shouldn't do or something is not good about me, I seriously get pissed off. But whatever these two friends tell me, no matter how bad it is, nothing pisses me off. I have grown too fond of these two people, and I love hanging around with them.
Just something I found online, like it and thats why im posting it here:
To Izzah, Sam, Fiji, Madiha, Anam, Hira, Princilla, Abhi, Hibba and Aleena
When i'm happy,
I look at my hand
And search for the line
That made me lucky enough
To have a friend like you
