Connection
What exactly
does one mean by connection ' is it something when we are relate to some other
person, is it a link that associates us with someone, or is it a bond that ties
us to someone who we have loved since we have known love.
For the story or
OS which you will read, the last definition describes it. It is a bond that ties us to someone whom we have loved since we have
known love.
The story below is dedicated to my sweet and lovely soul sis '
Rakhi. It is her story, her love story. A story through which I have tried to
unsuccessfully explain the connection that she shares with her love, our jiju '
Siddhartha (if the spelling is wrong, please forgive me). The story is a
mixture of some real life incidents and some fictional. This is my attempt to
make her birthday special, hope she likes it (hope you like it my ss'love you).
Kolkata
A young girl was
entering her neighbours house in the morning shouting "Sid, where are you, itni
der ho gayi hai."
Sid ' I'm
already ready. Thoda patience toh rakha karo.
Rakhi ' mujhe
lecture baad me dena. Aunty kahan hai?
Sid ' aur kahan,
your favourite place, kitchen.
Rakhi ' yeyyy,
matlab breakfast me kuch accha milne wala hai.
Sid ' tu apne
ghar me breakfast kyun nahi karti, roz yahan aa jati hai.
Rakhi just showed his her tongue and went to the kitchen where his
mom was cooking.
Rakhi and Sid were childhood friends along with being neighbours.
They used to play together, fight together, and spend most of their time
together. Since they were neighbours, they used to spend their time in each
other's house. Growing up together always has its benefits and drawbacks, like
this next incident.
Rakhi and Sid
were playing with Sid's friends. As Rakhi was a close friend and neighbour,
Sid's friends knew her and didn't mind her playing with them.
Subrato ' hey rakhi,
how are you??
Rakhi ' I'm fine
subrat, how are you?
Sid ' ho gaya
tumhara mel milap, to lets go and play.
Subrato ' what is
his problem?
(Whispering in
her ear)
Rakhi ' how would
I know?
Subrato ' but you
are with him most of the time, tujhe nahi pata ko kisko pata.
Rakhi ' haa, wo
to hai'.
Sid ' come on,
lets go.
Subrato and
rakhi ' coming.
Later in the day
Sid ' you will
no longer be playing with me.
Rakhi ' what? Why?
Sid ' bas maine
bol diya na.
Rakhi ' nahin main
nahi manungi. I want to play with you guys.
Sid ' just do as
I say. (in a stern voice)
Rakhi ' fine. If
you want that, don't ever talk to me again.
Sid ' kya karun main is ladki ka, gussa toh hamesha iski naak par
chadha rehta hai.
Somehow Sid managed to convince her, because she herself was not
able to stay away from him for so long. He would always be there for her,
whether be it studies or play.
A class 7
incident (Rakhi in class 7, don't know in which class was jiju)
Rakhi was
sitting on a bench outside the school, and had Tiffin in her hands filled with
biscuits. She started to eat one, and then she threw it away. Sid saw her doing
that. He came beside her and sat, said nothing.
Rakhi ' hey,
what are you doing here? You don't usually come here at this time.
Sid --'''.
Rakhi ' bolo na.
Sid -- ''''.
Rakhi ' why are
u not talking to me?
Sid -- ''''''
Rakhi ' did I do
something?
Sid ' why did
you throw the biscuit away? (a little bit shouting at her)
( Rakhi starts
crying)
Rakhi ' wo, *sob*
because *sob* i *sob* don't like it *sob*
Sid ' can't yell
at her because she is crying ' (talks softly)'if you don't like anything, just
say no.
Rakhi ' but main
mana kaise karun?
Sid ' just try
to make them understand the reason behind it.
Rakhi- matlab
Sid ' uff'.see
if you don't like something, you can always say no. You don't have to say yes
all the time.
Rakhi ' but will
they understand?
Sid ' bilkul karenge.
But haan next time se don't throw things away like that. Ok.
Rakhi ' ok.
After that she never threw anything away. Sid had some magic on
her. The thing which no one was able to make her understand or agree, he would
do that in a minute. He was always special to her, but she realized it only
later.
