Hands Held Together Forever







CHAPTER 1:


"Hey Pavi! I-T  I-S  T-I-M-E".

"What in the world you are screaming for?"asked Pavi. "You will do the same when you see the clock" says his younger brother Tharun pointing to the clock. "oh my god! it's 8'o clock. We had to go. Let's hurry up. Mom we're going."yelled his elder sissy. "Be careful" shouted his mother in vain as the kids had already gone pass the gate down the street.

Yes! It is time when clock ticks 8 in the night where all the kids in the street rushes to the grandpa Topa's house at the corner of the street for listening to his wonderful stories. Tharun and his sister along with his street friends Anu, krithish, varun and many more gathers sharp at 8 in the night at Topa's house.

"Today's story is one of the Seenu's stories" started grandpa. "Nah!"interrupted Tharun, "It's boring like anything. Can we have something romantic?". "Well! Ripening at the early stage" commented grandpa. All the other kids bursted with laughter. "Guess i have something for you my son" said grandpa. "That's more like it" exclaimed Tharun.

"This time I'm not going to look into any of the books 'cause this time is a TRUE STORY".

"T-R-U-E S-T-O-R-Y ?????" yelled the kids. 

CHAPTER 2:

"I Wanna ask you....one thing...uh....like I mean...actually....",she struggled with her words with all that hands like u-turn, may be sometimes o-turn that was still cute with her expressions.

After a deep breath, she continued, "Will you be with me forever?"

"Come with me". He grabbed her hands and took her into the woods. Then,pointing to that small trees, he said, "Do you see that love birds kissing each other?".

"Yeah", she said with curiousity.

"Do you really know why they are really named after the word 'love'?",he asked with his smiles.

"No!. But why?", she asked.

"Because when they got separated they just die. Such love they had for each other that they are named after the word 'love'", he said.

He added after her cute little blushing of hers, "You know what?. I never feel someone so important to me and never been felt so important to someone until my eyes strikes yours. You are my fear 'cause you have taken me so high that I've never been. I just promise you, my love.This is not just words. It's from my bottom of my hearts. And here it goes."

"MY HANDS AND YOURS WILL BE HELD TOGETHER FOREVER TILL DEATH".

Well!. That 'he', a handsome guy, is an engineer by profession named Aadhil and that cute girl is Chaitna, a reporter. Aadhil is from a family of quiet rich stuff but he have never shown off in anywhere. He's so a simple guy as everyone who just view the beauty and so he planned to have a girl friend who is actually brought up in an orphanage. He's kind of a guy who sees and admire only inner beauty that never fades away and that makes he and Chaitna, an ideal pair. He's working in an IT firm. And speaking about Chaitna, she's very brave girl who have wrote many bold news against some bad political guys. May be even bald ones too. But who cares?. Let's switch on to the story.

It seems like everything was okay with this couple. Yeah!. Though with little issues with them here and there often. That's kind of a lover's quarrel actually which I've never been familiar with, but that other day; seems like it wasn't just an ordinary fight. It's seems like a huge one this time.

"I could never believe that you were with a girl before me and you never said a word about that", she started as "LADIES FIRST" concept.(Bear with me if it was a bad humour sense).
Yeah our hero seems to have confessed as all we men would do. But it looks like he have got a justification

"Yeah!. I've been with a girl. But it was all about once. Like, really a once upon story that i have always regretted. I didn't say to you because I thought you will get hurt. That's why i kept it as....".
Stop there my boy. You are having a quarrel with a girl where you have no chance for finishing your point.

"Stop there. It's not that I would get hurt. It's because you have done something really wrong to that girl and I knew it",with no air to breathe in, she said in a flow. Believe me, only women can do that stuff

"What kind of a wrong you are talking about?", he stared at her and asked.

"Well!. Let me make my point clear. This is not just working anymore. That's it", she said with a stressing dot.

"What do you mean by 'that's it'?". The poor hero have no idea about what in the world is goin' on.

"To be more specified. Let's break up. I'm done with you". Nobody can't be clear enough like that one.

Seems like we have to keep our bad jokes aside and we should see our hero. Actually after that she left. Just left.

Well our hero has yet another a break up that he never gonna recover ever in his life. Because it's this girl who seemed a lot more to him than everyone in his life. Probably she was her life. It all just became WAS. All the memories of her just haunted him as he is walking by the roadside, into their favourite spot 'woods', by a tree at the corner of the park. These stuff. Really really took his spring out of his life longing for being just back then. It's seems like a real pain rain in his eyes. Like all the others, he's just ended in the bar, seeking for recovery which he know by himself that he will never do.

"Oh! come on buddy. You are the only one who cares me to see me. You know what?", he asked his friend krishna, shortly called as Krish. Krish has been his best friend ever since his school days.

"I know everything. You know what?. You are just a big mistake", said krish. A man blabbering and searching for his words when he is completely drunk is just a common thing we usually encounter and Aadhil is no exception to this theory.

"What?. My mistake. Do you know the meaning of mistake. It's something called wrong been done. I haven't done anything other than that I haven't just said that i loved a girl. If it was just a big wrong, I would have something to say. well! here it goes. That something i want to say was. It is something that I can't say. Because i don't know what to say. oh yeah! Gotcha", said our hero while our hero has been interrupted again. Poor guy!. He hasn't got any of the chances to finish his line.

"I have something important to say", said krish.

"No. You are not. This time. I am so persistent in finishing my line". Wow looks like our hero is not going to back up this time. "Well then spit it out", offered Krish.

"GGGGGGERE IT GOES(here turns out  this way after being drunken). Men are soooooooooooooooooooooo pityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy". Oh yeah! Aadhil has done this time.

"Well if that was finished, forget it and answer my question. Why did you never took the phone call of Chaitna?."asked Krish.

"I have nothing to do with it".

"If it was really that, then that would be the thing you made a mistake on", said Krish

"What do you mean by that ?", said Aadhil, just then

A PHONE CALL RINGS.....................


CHAPTER 3:


"So it took three weeks to take my phone call?",says Chaitna

"Oh I am really sorry Chaitna. I thought...uh....(Searching for words). My mind was really confused. But my heart knew that something was fishy out there. But the fierce battle between my mind and heart, my mind has taken control over my heart. I am really sorry for what I've done",blabbered but somehow gathered some words by Aadhil.

"There's something I have to tell you Aadhil",said Chaitna.

(Before that Chaitna asked Aadhil whether Aadhil will be with her forever that was narrated in chapter 2 at the opening scene, there was an incident that took place at the entrance gate of Chaitna's Journal office)

"You deserve for what you have done, Mr.Bhandharkar. There's nothing to do with me.",says Chaitna to a brutal fellow who has raped a young girl.

Chaitna has been in a secret mission of investigating Bhandharkar for writing an article on Mr.Bhandharkar who is a well-known politician. But to the true colors, he was actually a  man with null humanity and could possibly come out from any sort of dangers he would face. To the society, he was a perfect gentle man who is praised by people. To bring his originality to the light, Chaitna has worked hard for one month and collected every possible evidence and stored it in a pendrive. Bhandharkar along with his men showed at the entrance gate of Chaitna's office to threaten her to hand over the pendrive.

"Remember, If you don't give me the pendrive, I would ruthlessly kill your parents. Don't make me to go that far",threatened Bhandharkar.

"For your information, I don't have parents. So you don't actually need to go that far",replied Chaitna, fearlessly.

Then Aadhil came there to pick Chaitna in his bike.

"Who's he?",said Bhandharkar to his men. Chaitna could possibly predict his words saying and doubted whether Aadhil will be harmed by that brutal villian.

After they spend their time in woods( which was narrated in the opening scene of chapter 2) where they would always go, Aadhil dropped her in her hostel and with the butterfly kiss, Aadhil went off. Don't ask me what is butterfly kiss. Even I am not familiar with that. Oh god! I am not familiar with the Love itself. How could I possibly know what butterfly kiss is?. For the time being, let us say it is one type of kiss we are not familiar with. Readers who are familiar with are ok. But for those not, asssume the above assumption. Let's switch to the story.

After that day, Chaitna could not sleep at all. She knew that his boy's life is in a great danger and after full night thinking about how to save his boy friend's life, she ended up with an idea.

The next day, Bhandharkar's men, from her hostel, followed Chaitna to find out where Aadhil was and after finding out where he was, they are planning to kidnap him and make him a hostage to get that pendrive from Chaitna in return for sparing his life. Quite a great "villianious" idea. May be little old.

Chaitna knew that Bhandharkar's men are following her. She then met his boy friend and broke up with him on purpose. She knew that Aadhil loved a girl before he is loving her, a long time ago and didn't asked him anything about it because she doesn't care about his past and knew that his boy will not do anything wrong. But now with this reason and with a little extra fitting("It's not that I would get hurt. It's because you have done something really wrong to that girl and I knew it". Actually Aadhil did no wrong and Chaitna knew it), she decided to broke with him and planned that she would explain this later to her Aadhil through phone. She even decided not to meet his lover and the love conversation must be through only phone and not in person until Bhandharkar is behind bars. Well planned, isn't it?. So she broke up with her Aadhil in purpose and rest is the history.

"Bhandhar ji! She actually broke up with his lover. What shall we do?", said one of his men to Bhandharkar through phone.

Bhandharkar said,"So she has no friends, no parents and now no boy friend too. Now, for whom she has to live for?".

With some of lips movement Chaitna recognized Bhandharkar's men saying,"ok sir we will leave", she went happily, as her plans worked successfully, to her hostel with no fear for his boy friend's life. But she never knew what was told by Bhandharkar to his men on phone. 

"So, this is what really happened",said Aadhil on phone to his girl.

"Yes! you idiot",says his girl with a smile.

"Not knowing what has happened, you cooked your own story and build up your own assumption on me. So this was your hands held together forever thing?",asked Chaitna. What a great question, isn't it?.

"I knew my girl won't do these things. It was because of Krish. He has brain washed me totally that my mind was totally confused. Believe me, Chaitu. You know that I love you", trying to convince her girl, he says.

"What?",screamed Krish. Don't worry Krish. Isn't it obvious?. This is what you will get in friendship.

" I never knew, Aadhu. Krish was the only one who stood with me and if it wasn't for him, you would never picked my phone call", says Chaitna

"Hahahaha!........Bingo",exclaimed Aadhil

"What in the world you are laughing for?. I am totally angry on you", screamed Chaitna.

"Oh! come on Chaitu. You are not angry. You are in love. Aadhil will never be pronounced Aadhu if you are not in love", said Aadhil (See the previous line said by Chaitna. " I never knew, Aadhu")

"I will never get this love things right. May be that's why I am still single", said Krish. Exactly the same words what I am trying to say.

"Oh! I never said that", refused Chaitu. Actually Chaitna. (I should not be saying this Chaitu. I am sorry Aadhil)

"Yes! you are", said Aadhil. "No I am not", said Chaitna. "Yes you are......

"This thing proabaly will go on for the whole night. Oh! Mr. Aadhu. Please be quick. Bar has no time for this the whole night. It has to be closed", said Krish.

" Hey, Chaitu. You know what?", said Aadhil.

"What?", asked Chaitna knowing what exactly he is going to tell.

"I love you"

"I love you too, Aadhu", said Chaitna.

"Hey. Where are you now?",asked Aadhil.

"The place our love Journey begins", said Chaitna

Really, How sweet, isn't it?.

"HHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHH". Chaitna screamed.

CHAPTER 4 (Climax):

"Hey! Chaitu. What happened?", shouted Aadhil to the scream of her girl. The phone then hangs.

"What? What happened?", asked Krish to Aadhil. "I don't know man. But she is in trouble. We have to hurry up", said Aadhil.

"But where?"

Both of them went to the bridge, the place where first Aadhil and Chaitna met and started to love each other. At that place, Bhandarkar's men were chasing Chaitna to kill her. Aadhil and Krish kicked some of them trying to help Chaitna. They both fought together hard and finished all the men. During the fight, Aadhil received many injuries and so do Krish but Krish has lost his consciousness and fell down. With pains and injuries, Aadhil searched Chaitna with his body barely able to walk. Somehow bearing the pain of his broken leg, he found his girl hiding in a bush. 

Chaitna was also beaten black and blue. Dragging her body, she moved herself towards Aadhil. She is badly injured that she cannot make some words loud and clear. Yet she tried to say,
"No, Aadhil. Don't come here". She shouted with all her voice," Go away Aadhillllllllllllll!!!!!"
"But why?",Aadhil was puzzled. "Haaah!", screamed Aadhil..

Behind him was Bhandarkar. He stabbed him with a knife and Aadhil fell down. On seeing this, Chaitna cried,"Noooooooo!!!" and she too fell on the ground. Behind her back was also a knife which was stabbed before.

Both tried to drag their body towards each other with all they have got. When they were close enough, they held their hands together and finally they breathed out their last air. Aadhil's words stating that his hands will be held together forever until their death came true much earlier. At last time of their death, their mind was full of memories. How they first met, how it changed into love, their memories in the woods, the words they share, how they kiss each other, how they miss each other, her lap at miseries, his caring shoulder at bad times, her cute eyes saying " I love you", his smile saying " I am proud to hold you" and all the cute lovely things flashed in both of their minds. Her brown eyes slowly closed. With his last tear tearing his heart, his eyes also closed. This Bridge. It, surely, not only connects the road but also acting as the bridge to this lovely couple. They ended their lives where they have started. This bridge might have seen the end of their lives but their love always lives ever and ever. Surely, this bridge has lot more memories. 

"So this is so called love thing. Haha!. Don't make me laugh",the Villain said.

"Hey! What about the other guy?, asked Bhandarkar about Krish to his men. Thinking that he was dead, his men signalled "over" to his boss. Then all of them left the place.

Krish gained his consciousness and woke up. He's so terrified to see his buddy and Chaitna on the ground. Realising that they were dead, he cried out loud.

Then, to take avenge on their death, Krish decided to take on Bhandarkar all by himself. He started where Chaitna left. He somehow found the pendrive from Chaitna's friend which is a solid evidence against Bhandarkar. Claiming himself to be the eye witness of the murder of Chaitna and Aadhil, he acccused Bhandarkar for the murder. Then by series of other investigtions of Police, Bhandarkar was found to be accused in many crimes. Despite his political power, he couldn't make up this time. The court sentenced him to death and finally Krish was able to avenge his friends' death according to law itself. Thanks to Krishna, the Krish.

"Really a very emotional and a nice story grandpa", said Anu, one of the kids, hearing to the story, with his tears out of her eyes.

"Yeah grandpa.  I was all in tears. But, hey, you said it is a true story, right?",asked Pavi.

"Yeah!. You are right my child. It is a true story", said grandpa Topa.

"Then, the Aadhil's friend Krish who avenged his friend's death must be alive somewhere. Can we meet him?", asked Pavi curiously and all the other kids were also excited about what would grandpa Topa would say.

" My name as known by everyone is, may be. Topa. But my real name is Krishna. IN SHORT, IT IS KRISH"

"W - H - A - T ? ? "

Okay, not so wide opened!. And here is the end of Hands Held Together Forever. Hope you all like it. Well I got something interesting thing to tell you. Some might wonder why the picture is placed at the top of every chapter. Yeah! it is okay to have it in the beginning of the story ie. in chapter 1. But to have it in every chapters?. Well, there's a reason for it. Comment what might be the reason for it. And the correct guess will be mentioned in my next post in coming Sunday.

I have some other thing to tell you. My next story name is "My Life's Tragedy and My Strategy".On saying about this story, this is not romantic and dramatic as my previous one. As the title sounds, it is full of thriller. It is about a young boy facing series of puzzling problems in his life and how he tactfully encounters it and strategically solves his problems. At the beginning of this story, readers who got correct guess about my previous question will be named.

So, till then, a brief depart from my readers...........
