Hey guys back to you with yet another OS.....Happy Reading!!!
Sid stood outlooking the silence of night leaning towards the terrace parapet. The past few days had been quite the rollercoaster ride of emotions. Usually he would be accompanied by his partner in star-gazing but today since she was busy here he was alone yet not truly alone. As he stood there he was brought back with memories of he had spent with his best friend his moti billi his Monu bro.
Monami and Sid were quite the duo. They had known each other since practically the time they were born. Sid was a few months older than Monami but still Monami was usually the more mature person between them.
Growing up they had their own days of roses and thorns, but the stuck together always. Sid always had Monami's back and vice-versa. But somewhere growing up without the moms whom the had lost at an early age was what made them so inseparable. Almost everything was the same in their life, their dads were there but equivalent to not being, but somewhere atleast his dad cared for him Walnut would always berate Monami and discourage her when it came to dreams after Juhi aunty's death.
He remembered how happy Monami had been when she had received her acceptance letter at the Army Medical College but all that happiness was chucked out of the window as soon as she remembered her dad would never allow her to pursue her dreams of being in service to her country.
But few years later when Parakram SAF had declared the new mission ie 'Ghar Ghar Mai Soldier' Monu was sure enough to join the programme and make herself worthy enough to serve her country. That night when he saw a bright star in the sky he knew it was his Juhi aunty and had told her about his moti billi's achievement and her first step towards her dreams.
Speaking of himself, he never thought he would ever join Parakram SAF but then that call with his Miss Tod Fod played a few cards and alas here he was in Parakram SAF. The chaos that ensued later was well let's say literally CHAOS.
But now that he was here nearly 1 year into his training life at Parakram was both a blessing and nightmare. Nightmare cause the sudden supposed martyrdom of their head trainer, i.e his dole shole bro sent shook the feet beneath his feet. Never had he felt that he would feel a part of his heart left empty listening to that awful news. Blessings came in form of Sanju, the family he gained, his very dear mummyji, his dad who was now trying to understand him and lastly his moti billi had found her soulmate who understood her, respected her and her dreams and loved her endlessly.
Ever since he had entered the academy and especially after the Welcome Party and the Organ Trafficking Mission he had seen a possibility that his moti billi and their oh so khadoos head trainer were gonna be a thing. But never had he dreamt that this possibility would turn true.
Over time he had seen Karan do things for Monami which people may have never noticed much.
After the Organ Trafficking Mission when Monu had narrated the scenario where Karan took the bullet meant for her, he brushed it off as a soldier performing his duty of keeping every civilian in the country safe.
But later on he had noticed how Karan had brought Monami a keychain charm and had given it to her by the excuse that it was Baby who had gifted it to her.
The picnic was where he felt something was about to start and well it did Karan and Monami had had a misunderstanding. Well no surprises there but the element of surprise was Karan sang a song for his Monu bro merely because of the fact that she had misunderstood him and was angry with him. That day he realized that the Khadoos Karan Shergill had started to melt a lil, not much but say by 1%.
When Monami was admitted in the hospital he had seen Karan's perspective towards him and Monami change. He no longer thought that the best friend duo where the stereotypical rich spoilt brats. Karan and Walnut's face off was something that he would always remember. Sid himself thought that no one apart from him would stand for his Monu bro, but there was finally someone who would and it wouldn't have been better than Special Agent Major Karan Shergill.
Since then he had seen Karan and Monami progress in their relationship from be it friends, to again estranged strangers, to lovers and now to being each others fiancé he had quite literally witnessed it all.
Karan had done all those little things knowingly or unknowingly for Monami without realising that he was falling for her so be it giving her his blazer jacket since her dress strings had come loose, or singing a song for her, standing up for her against her dad, dancing with her despite the fact that he hated dancing, making a small terrace garden for he' and well the list would never end. He knew for a fact that all this meant the world for his moti billi.
He was thankful to god for bringing Karan into Monami's life. Sid would always be there for his moti billi but now he was glad he wasn't the only one who cherished and loved Monami the way he did. His moti billi deserved all the love and care in the world and he damn well knew Karan was the right person to give it to her.
As he stood there in his reverie he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned around to find Karan.
'Oh bro aap ho mai toh dar hi gaya tha.' Sid said
'Tu yaha kya kar raha hai iss samay?' Karan questioned.
'Kuch nahi bro bass aese hi mann kia toh aagaya terrace pai.'
'oh acha theek hai. Chal mai chalta hu tum bhi so jau kal drills hai.' Karan said and turned around to leave when he was stopped in his track by Sid.
'Karan bro!' Sid called
Karan turned around and looked at Sid with raised eyebrows and a questioning look. What happened next startled Karan, Sid had hugged him tight which kinda made Karan loose his balance but managed to steady himself.
Karan slightly patted Sid's back, he wondered what had happened in the past few minutes before he came that Sid had engulfed him in a tight hug. Just as he was about to ask he her Sid tell him 'Thank you bro. A big thank you.'
Huh thank you ? Why was Sid thanking him he wondered. Sid broke the hug and saw the quizzical expression on Karan's face.
'Yeh hi soch rahe honge na aap ki maine Thank you kis chee ke liye kaha?' Sid said as if he read Karan's mind. Karan nodded his head in agreement.
'Well bro thank you iss baat ke liye ki aap Monu se itna pyaar karte hai, trust me you mean the world to her. Jab aap nahi the na maine Monu ko dekha hai roz toote huye, par usne kabhi bataya nahi. She was just a living body with no soul. Uski jaan hi uske pass nahi thi tab Monu ko dekhna was just too painful. Lekin jabse aap wapas aaye hai Monu pehele ki moti billi ban gayi hai. Thank you for loving her so much.' Sid completed while kissing the back of Karan's hand.
Karan wiped his hand on the hoodie and replied, 'Thank you galat insaan se keh rahe ho Sid. Sach kahu toh Rani Saheba agar nahi hoti toh shayad mai kabhi apne andhero se bahar aata hi nahi Wahi toh hai jinhone meri zindagi mai Roshni bhari wapas. Aur iss dil ko uski dhadkan mil gayi. Sach bol raha hu Siddharth ab toh Rani Saheba ke bina raha bhi nahi jaata. Itna sab kuch hone ke baad toh bilkul nahi. So isliye mujhe thank you mat bolo.'
'Aap ko ek baat batau, uss dinn jab mai Daddyji ke farm jaa raha tha na mai tab Monu se milne terrace pai aaya tha kyuki I knew ki woh bohot pareshaan hogi mere liye. Par jab mai aaya I saw you trying to lift her mood, aap uske chehre pai smile lekar aaye. Aur mai yeh smile wapas khone kaise deta isliye mai waha se chala gaya aur woh chit chod kar gaya.' Sid said truthfully.
'Agar tum aajate toh Monami itna hyper nahi hoti tumhaara woh chit dekhke. Usse handle karne bohot mushkil hoagaya tha.' Karan replied his heart still clenched remembering his dhadkan's hysteric reaction on reading the letter.
'But I knew ki aap usse sambhal loge. And mujhse zyada better Monu ko koi nahi samjhta not even that Walnut. Isliye jab bhi Monu ko aap ke saath dekhta hu na I feel contentment at heart for her. Monu ko finally koi aesa mila hai joh usse bohot pyaar karta hai, care karta hai uski aur uske feelings, dreams, ambitions ki respect karta hai. And I feel aapse better Monu ke liye aur better soulmate nahi milta.' Sid said earnestly pouring his heart out eyes brimming with tears.
'Woh toh mai tumhaare liye bhi keh sakta hu Sid. Rani Saheba ke saath bachpann se ho tum aur tum dono wakai mai bohot hi ache dost ho. Aese dost har kisi ko milne chahiye. You are the best and perfect best friend for Rani Saheba Sid and I'm really glad she's had you along side her all this while.' Karan said while patting Sid's back and giving a hearty smile.
'Ab chale bohot hogayi senti baate kal agar late huye drills ke liye toh 50 laps extra karwaunga.' Karan said to lighten the atmosphere.
'Yess yes I know aap punishment dena nahi chodoge. Waise bro can I call you jeez bro ?' Sid asked nervously.
'Jeez bro?' Karan asked.
'Haa since you and Monu are engaged you are my to be bro-in-law and jiju sounds too boring isliye jeez bro.' Sid explained to Karan who gawked at the former in surprise.
'Haa sure joh tum chaho but sirf off the field.' Karan agreed, Sid gave a jump of excitement kissed Karan's hand yet again and set off towards the terrace exit.
'Thank you jeez bro and good night may you have sweet dreams of Monu.' Sid said teasingly and ran off from there not waiting for Karan's reaction or reply.
Karan who was wiping his hand on his hoodie turned a slight shade of red at Sid's statement and shooke his head in amusement at his Rani Saheba's best friend. And he too set off to sleep but before that we wanted a good night kiss from his Rani Saheba.
