Audience I love the audience, like bachpanse..... yeah I am born dancer, dancing is my passion. Jab chhoti thi to school ke har function me hissa leti thi or hamesha first...... ok zoot nahi bolungi kabhi kabhi second ya third bhi aati thi....par saala jabse teenager ho gayi, mere parents ne muzse dancing chhudwa di....ladki hu na isiliye.....I was very angry for their orthodox behavior, I argued a lot, but I couldn't win against my family members. I live in joint family and was only girl among all the siblings and cousins. Us din pehli baar bohot royi, fir bar bar royi , fir aakhri bar royi kyonki Mai ek ladki hoo Kash ladka hoti to muze koi rokta nahi dancing ko lekar.....

It's ok yar, fir maine khudko achhese samzaya, ki dancing hi sab kuch nahi hai, or bhi Kai cheeze hai sikhne ke liye....

I was obsessed with languages, I forgot to mention that. Mera ek boyfriend bhi hai, Vijay. Hamari mulakat institution me hui, ham dono french class padhne jaate the , bas vahi se hui hamari kahani start....

Par audience mere pas usse bhi achhi kahani hai sunane ke liye....
Meri or Shahid ki😍

Shahid Mehera bada hi pyara, sohna munda.....

Maine to gharpe Mera boyfriend Vijay or mere Shaadi ki baat kar li thi, and guess what is bar no objection from my family members. I was very happy but then this stupid, idiot Vijay started playing with me. He went to Mumbai for Mumbai darshan without informing me. Bas ek message chhoda usne mere liye, I will be back , Don't think I am cheating on you. Just wanted some break to have refreshment.

I was mad would be understatement. On top of that, he changed his sim card so that I shouldn't call and disturb his so called break and refreshment. How seek is that.

I went to my best friend Siya's house for her birthday party. I wasn't feeling like attending it due to my sad mood but she insisted a lot so kuchh fayda nahi bichari ka mood off karke, fir maine bhi socha ki Vijay ne ek bar bhi nahi socha mere bare me to mai itna kyu sochu😭

Fir Mai royi thodisi, actually rona nahi tha muze, par ye tears na jaane kaha se aa jaate hai 😪

Finally I got ready with my blue dress and dark makeup. Ready to go to party.

Siya's parents own a big bungalow but are always out of state for running their international business. Siya started throwing parties because of this reason. Use akele rehena , boring life jeena bilkul pasand nahi.
To bas usne shuru kar diya ye sab, parents kamate hai or wo udati hai.

"Hey pretty sista, I was waiting for you. You are late but I'm happy you came here for my word." Siya said grabbing me in bear hug. "It's your birthday yaar, kaise nahi aati." Mai boli. "Pata hai pata hai, safed zoot muze mat paka, Vijay gaya to kya ham dost hai na sab Tere liye." Siya boli. "Ab tu vapis uska naam mat le mere samne, saale ka muh todne ka man karta hai." Mai gusseme boli. "Shant ho ja meri bachhi. Waiter madam ke liye mast coldrink lana." Siya called out.

I was wiping off my misery with the glass of Mangola imagining it's beer or something strong alchohol as I couldn't afford having it in real. You Know how my parents are. Wo to muze gharse nikal fekenge.

Suddenly, koi aadmi mere pichhe se bola, "can I sit here mam?"

Aww bada polite sa ladka tha, shakal se bhi to Mai or ladkiyo ki tarah attitude nahi dikhati bewajah, "sure, why not" bolke maine uski cute smile ko Meri wali cute smile dedi.

"Shahid, Shahid Sethi nam hai mera or aapka goodname ji?" Again usne pucha with his melodious voice. "Seher Agrawal, aap kaun hai Siya ke, aapko pehli baar dekh rahi hu?" Maine bhi puchh hi liya , baaki sab friends dance, masti me lage huye the to kyu na is new comer se hi thoda time pass kar lu....

"Ji mai Siya ka cousin bhai hu, yahape kal hi aaya hu, ek job interview ke liye. Yaha pasme ek hotel hai oyo ka, vahipe room liya hai. Agar job fix ho jaata hai to rent pe room dekhna padega." Shahid batate gaya or Mai sunati gayi fir ham aise hi idhar udhar ki baate karte baithe..... time kaise gaya pata hi nahi chala.

"Seher tumhara Bhai aaya hai tumhe lene ke liye." Siya ne aawaj di. yahi hota hai jab bhi mai party me jati hu or 11 baj jaate hai to muze pick karne koi na koi aa jata hai gharse. Mai Shahid ko bye boli or Siya ko bhi bye kiya fir chali gayi bhai ke sath.

"Seher beta aaj college se aate wakt sabji le aana mushroom or rajma ki, tere nana ji ko khane ka bohot man kar raha hai." Maa ne kitchen se aawaj di. "ok maa,. Laati hu. Or kuchh lana hai kya?" Maine college ka bag bharte huye pucha, aaj to auto pakdke jaana padega, bus to ab nikal gayi hogi. "Gulabjam bhi lekar aana, sabke favorite hai, bohot din hogaye khayar." Maa boli. " Ok maa, gulabjam bhi laati hu, chalo bye. Bohot late hogyi aaj to mai." Mai maa ko hug karke boli "Sambhal kar jaa." Maa boli.

Auto , I called for an auto and I quickly thanked God muze share auto mil gaya. "Seher ji aap?" Maine bagal me se aawaj janipehchani lagi, " Shahid ji aap? Aap kaha ja rahe hai? Pata nahi tha itni jaldi milenge." I said with smile. "Mai to jaa rahu job interview ke liye, or aap?" He asked. "Ji mai college ja rahi hu, hamesha bus se jaati hu, aaj late huwa to auto me." Mai boli. "Oh" he shook his neck in acknowledgement.

We shared our phone numbers in auto. Shahid ne promise kiya ki agar wo interview pass ho jaate hai to muze yaha ki famous bhelpuri khilayenge. Or ha ham dono ne ye ji wala tag bhi hata diya dono ke naam se. Awkwardness Kam hogi tabhi to friendship badhegi na. Par kya mai sachme is dosti ko badhana chahti thi kya, pata nahi. Par ha Ladka bura nahi tha Shahid or upar se bohot hi polite behaviour.

Mai gulabjam or sabji le hi rahi thi tabhi Shahid ka call aaya mere cell pe.

"Waah maja aa gaya Seher ji. Yaha ki bhelpuri to bohot hi tasty hai." Shahid ungliya chatate huye bole. I just smiled and said " abhi to aapko bohot kuchh try karna baaki hai abhi to aap sheher me naye ho. Waise aap to bohot lucky ho yaar, itni jaldi job bhi mil gayi aapko."

"Na na Seher. Bachpan se hi luck ka or mera dur dur tak rishta nahi. Pata nahi iss bar kaise Kamal hogaya. Shayad aapika good luck hoga."

"Ye baat hai to aapko har roj mai yahaki famous cheeze khilane lekar jaaungi aapko, or paise aap de dena."

"Abhi to meri first salary bhi nahi huyi Seher."

"Hahaha Shahid tum to dar gaye, Mai to majak kar rahi thi."

.......

After 6 months.

"Seher mai bohot dinose kuchh kehna chahta tha, aaj Mera birthday hai or Mai tumhe propose karta hu..

I love you seher, muzse Shaadi karogi?"

Muze kehna tha yes I love you too par Shahid sahi kehta tha, he always had a bad luck. Usne Kai saare job interviews diye, fir kaise bhi karke badi mehnat se ek job mili, Shaadi fix kar di gharwalo ne to uski dulhan bhaag gayi Shaadi wale din. Yahapar aaya akela, tanha , to Mai mil gayi, job bhi mil gayi achhi khasi, pyar bhi ho gaya par kya fayda...

Mai uska good luck nahi ban paayi...

"Shahid meri already Shaadi fix huyi thi mere boyfriend Vijay se. Wo kal raat hi Delhi aaya hai Mumbai se. Next Sunday hamari Shaadi hai. I am very sorry Shahid. Ye sab muzse kab kaise huwa muze pata hi nahi chala. Mai tumhe cheat nahi karna chahti thi. Par Vijay ko mere gharwale bohot pasand karte hai or Shaadi bhi fix ki hai."

Bechara Shahid to jaise Sambhal hi nahi paaya khudko, his eyes became puffy red, tears weren't stopping from his eyes.

"Shahid, Mai bohot kamjor thi pehle par ab nahi hu, I am a strong girl , mentally and emotionally. Ye bad luck maine bhi face kiya hai life me kayi bar.

Jab Mai school me padhti thi to muze pyaar ho gaya tha ek ladke se. Uska naam Sameer tha , pyaar se Mai use sonu bulati thi. But one day he left me with a broken heart. Wo chala gaya uske parents ke saath , kisi foreign country me. Bohot roya tha wobhi, or Mai bhi. Muze pata tha ham fir kabhi nahi milenge isliye use kiss kiya tha Maine lips pe. Muze aaj bhi yaad hai wo first kiss."

"Or muze bhi yaad hai wo first kiss , kyunki Sameer Mai hi tha. Tumhara Sonu Mai hi hu Seher. Tumhari banayi hui glass painting mere bag me abhi bhi hai. Tumse dur gaya kya Mera to bad luck hi start ho gaya. Par tumne muze yaade di hai , wo sabse khaas tohfa hai mere liye. Mai khush hu ki tum Shaadi kar rahi ho apne or gharwalo ki pasand ke ladke se. Hamari love story shayad yahi tak thi."

Shahid toot chuka tha puri tarah se, I could feel it through his eyes and shaking voice. Mai good luck , bad luck jaisi baato ko nahi manti....ulta mai sochti hu jo kuchh bhi hota hai sabke achhe ke liye hi hota hai, or insaan ko hamesha optimistic rehna chahiye, datkar sehena chahiye, or himmat se Kam lena chahiye.

Vijay ne bataya ki wo hamari Shaadi ko special banane ke liye Mumbai ke sabse best designers , photographers or baaki arrangements karne je liye or uske uncle ko sharemarket ki tips dene gaya tha. Abhi wo aakar muze surprise dena chahta tha, or mere gharwalo ko ye sab pehle se hi pata tha.

Ab mai kisi movie ki actress to hu nahi ki bachpan ka pyaar jab itne saal baad samne aaya to bani banayi Shaadi ko todkar, Vijay ko sorry bolkar Shahid ko Shaadi ke liye haa bol dungi. Agar aap aisa sochte ho to aap galat ho. Kyoki Mai life me aage badhna sikh gayi hu, Vijay se Shaadi karne se mukarna to bevakufi hogi. He loves me and ready to marry me.

Mai good luck, bad luck nahi manti par this poor guy Shahid, isko Mai kuchh dena chahti hu, shayad wo khudko unlucky na samze iss pal se....

Shahid was staring at wall mindlessly. I walked closed to him.

"I can't marry with you Shahid but I am willing to give you something special to add into our beautiful memories."

Shahid glanced me with questioning eyes. I held his hand and took him with me inside his bedroom. Where stars were watching us getting high and touching the heavens. I just hope good luck will enter into his sad , empty life where he will remind me as his lucky charm.
...............

The End
