***************

Hours ago

"Karan agar tera kaam ho gaya ho toh store room se please woh dabbe nikal de warna tu bohot pitega", Karan's mom screamed from the kitchen

"Aaya Mom, Bas abhi aaya", screamed back Karan as he set his files back on the table....

2 years since University ended and a few weeks since he started his internship and it was in full swing, with projects, deadlines, meetings all keeping him round the clock!

He stood up and finally felt free but then remembered that his mom had given him a task so without any further ado, he skipped to the store room and entered it, as soon as he opened the door a cluster of dust and cobwebs fell all over him...

"*Coughing* arreyy yaarrrr abhi toh nahaya tha kaam karne se pehle aur ab yeh ughhhh", Nevertheless he started picking up the boxes named - NGO and placed them on his patio, as his dad loaded them into the truck...

1 box.....

2 boxes.....

10 boxes.......

20 boxes...........

Phew he surely had a lot of clothes, toys, books and shoes when he was young....

He went back in just one last time to make sure all the boxes were taken out and also that if nothing was left he could close this up and go clean himself....

Suddenly out of no where he felt a tiny rat creep against his feet, out of surprise, he lept and kicked the boxes in front of him landing on the floor with a thud and in that chaos a shoe box fell off the top shelf of a rack scattering its contents near his leg, he dusted himself and was about to get up when he felt his feet got stuck inside a cloth, he sat back, leaned forward and pulled the piece of cloth out of the clutches of his feet.

When he looked closer he realised it was his Jersey, his college football team jersey with the words CAPTAIN KARAN SHERGILL written in bold caps.

He grinned with satisfaction and hugged it, he then pulled out his shorts as well and stood in front of a broken mirror keeping it on him, he clearly remembered how he had fought with his mum and had never washed that jersey since he became captain, his oh so famous Line made him chuckle "Lucky shirt ke luckiness ko dho kar khona nahin chahta hu mom!!", Those were the exact words he had said....

Yet his mom had somehow found ways to wash it, that's when he realised his lucky charm was not the Jersey but something else, more like someone else....

He remembered how he had hidden it from his mom on that day after his last game, Carefully, again ofcourse without washing it this time....

He chuckled at his childly antics and looked at himself in the mirror as he held his jersey in front of him, placing it on him!!!

"Classic and Original!! Mera handsome Munda! All The Best for your game!!! I know tu Jeet ke aayega", he smiled as he remembered those words, oh how could he forget his Rani Sahiba 's line every time he wore the Jersey before his game....

Rani Sahiba or more commonly known to the rest of the world as Monami was his best friend since preschool up till college, she was everything for him....

The word Rani Sahiba was solely reserved for him to call her as when they first met in preschool she was dressed as a princess and he couldn't help but say it out. From that day it stuck, till the last and final year of college....

That was when he saw her last, at the farewell party of the college, she had announced that she would be leaving for London, shock being an understatement for him, he couldn't comprehend the fact that she chose her career over their friendship pact.

A pact they made to never stay away from each other. He misunderstood her and they ended up having a huge fight which led to them never speaking again.

He was sad he fought with her, but has sadness ever overpowered someone's ego, yet later when he regretted it and wanted to make amends it looked like it was very late - she had walked out with tears in her eyes

"Kaash ek baar tum mudkar dekhti Monami, ek Baar tumhe main wo sab kuch bataa deta jo mere andar bhara tha aur kabhi jaane nahin deta, kas ke apne paas rakhta aur woh bhi hamesha ke liye", His eyes did hint towards a slight regret and he sure wanted to tell her what she meant to him, but as destiny could have it, It was just too late....

It was true he was angry at her for walking away but that didn't stop him from keeping tabs on her, he has to know where she stayed, where she studied, was she safe or not.... He chuckled as he thought of himself as a stalker but could he help it?

Time passed and he realised
He gathered up his stuff in to the box, his jersey, the bits of paper, the photos, and took it to his bedroom, placing it on his bed he turned around and that's when he spotted himself in the mirror.....

"Ughhhhhhh Yuck"

The only expression that came out of his mouth was,
dusty,
shabby,
dirty,
yucky,
And just disgusting......

But at that point-
Something felt more important....

Glancing over at that box he couldn't help but sit back down, he pulled out the photos from there one by one and started cherishing his college moments one by one.

Memories took over him and he decided to wear the Jersey, He pulled out his jersey and wore it, a wonder that it still fit, he smiled and looked at himself in the mirror....

Shabby hair,
Dust all over him,
A year old Jersey on him,
And his ever so original smile...

Putting his hands into the pocket he gave out his genuine smile, as shabby as he might look to the world right now, he felt like the best looking person on the planet.

As he removed his hand from his pocket, a piece of paper fell out of it....

He bent down and picked it up.....

The paper was folded up neatly and his name written on one side of it, he began caressing the handwriting, recognising it immediately....

It was his Rani Sahiba's!!!

Those bold and clean strokes of a neat cursive brought back all the memories of them together....

How they wrote letters to each other whenever they were out during summer break, how she used to nag him about his handwriting in the start every single time.

Unknowingly, a tiny tear crept out of his eyes and stained his face....

He sat down on the bed and opened it slowly, his hands holding it in the most fragile way possible careful not to tear it....

He smiled widely as he saw the handwriting on the paper, he knew he missed her, but today told him how much he missed her....

He took in a deep breath and began reading....

***************

Karan folded the paper and kept it aside....

She did it again assumed stuff and walked away, like she had done years ago during a project but this time he wouldn't let her getaway with it....

"Maaaa, I am going out", he announced as he ran down the stairs like a jet....

"Areyyyy par.... Karannnn", but he had no time to hear...

He knew exactly where she would be, what she would be doing when he gets to her.....

He sat into the jeep and drove off with all the boxes still loaded in the jeep, his dad turned over to place in the last box, but alas, Karan was in no mood to stop today....

"Yeh Ladkaaaaa???", Karan's dad screamed

***************

Karan's POV

A month ago she had just returned for a vacation meaning she would be.....

IN UNCLE'S HOUSE

I truly have no time to waste...

Yea right

I look aside to find me sitting next to me....
Wait-
WHAT?????
I have my lookalike sitting next to me
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

I HAVE A LOOKALIKE!!!!

Ok ok shut up

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU????

Well technically I am you and you are me and I look like you and you look like me and I-

Okay okay I get it... Why are you here?

You really need me to explain...

You mean you're here to help me get Monami back....

Uh-

Great now there's 2 of us, You know what Monami na she is impossible...... Jhalli number one hain yeh, idiot, letter likh kar chali gayi... Samajhti kya hain woh apne aap ko..... Dumbo!!!

Ek baar mere saamne aajaye, phir dekhta hu kaise chhod ke jaati hain mujhe, I get it if it was about her career why the heck did she think I would be angry on her.....

Well apparently you were angry!!! Remember grad ceremony night when you fought with her for not telling you that she was leaving but actually you didn't read the letter she put into your shorts 2 days before the party which you didn't see and then ended up blasting at here

Okay I am sorry, I get it, I got it  and I have been a jerk but that won't deny the fact that She also didn't bother to talk it out with me!!!

Let me remind you these are your words not mine......

Well technically it is yours as you yourself said in the beginning that I am you, you are me etc etc bullshit.....

Fine you have a point but that doesn't change the fact that MISTER HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO HER, SINCERELY FOR JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS, FOR NOT READING HER LETTER EARLIER AND FOR NOT LETTING HER GIVE AND EXPLANATION........

I KNOW AND I WILL YOU DONT NEED TO SHOUT AT ME!!!

*****************

A long silence prevailed between both of us and then I asked

Do I really sound like that when I scream?

Apparently YES!!!!

Ok I'm sorry then let's call it truce and bring back my Monu!!!

Finally you spoke something sensible!!!

I rolled my eyes and continued driving....

MONAMI MAHAJAN HERE I COME!!!!
**************

I parked my vehicle outside the Mahajan House, well it hasn't changed one bit in these two years.....

I dragged my nervous self upto the door and rang the bell, my palms were sweaty, my feet were shivering and I felt like I would faint any moment.....

And then the door opened and she stood there,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
No not Monami, that's Riya Mahajan a.k.a Monami ki badi behen, aur college ki tomboy!!!!

Main toh gaya!!!

Boxing Champ, Karate black belt, aur ladko ki dhulai inki CV main hamesha hoti hain!!!

Bacha lo bhagwan!!!

"Riya di wo-", and then I was interrupted....

*Thud*

I was punched straight in the nose....

I opened my eyes slowly and was just about to perceive my senses I was attacked again!!!

This time onto the head.....

I felt like I was blacking out.....

And then the last thing I heard was her!!!

Oh not Riya di but This time it was Monami!!!

"Di!!!!”

"God!!!! her voice is so beautiful", I whispered and fell with a thud onto the ground!!!

***************

Ahhhh my head hurts, where am I???

Why do I feel like I'm under a tap of water....

I hold my head and try to open my eyes when I hear a familiar voice, a soothing one, someone's that I have been wanting to hear!!!

"Karan, you okay, aankhe kholo idiot!!!", Thats Monami and I know I'm not dreaming because she is crying and she doesn't cry in my dreams!!!

"Karan please aankhe kholo, you dumbhead!!!", I opened my eyes slowly to see her teary face, she was crying.....

Wait, Riya di Punched me right!!!

Am I dead!!!

I touch my face in a reflux!!!

No I am alive thank God!!!

I tried getting up and she held me by my shoulders helping me get up....

"Tum theek ho, zyaada dard toh nahin ho raha", She asked me with her eyes filled with tears, Stupid, I know woh aaj bhi mujhse utna hi pyaar karti hain, uski aankho main dikhta hain aur aaj, aaj uske muh se nikalwa ke rahunga aur khud bhi boldunga!!!

“Of course thik hoga warna ek aur punch lagane mein mujhe koi problem nahin hain”, Riya said twisting here fist

My eyes widened and I choked bursting into fits of cough!!!

“Di yaar, bas kariye aur aap jaiye!!! Main isse dekhti hu”, Monami said handing me a glass of water....

Riya walked out on Monami's insistence but not before glaring at me who had already curled up  himself into a ball with folded hands and a sorry face...

“Ab bataoge kaise ho ya phir aur kuch karna hain tumhe”, Monami asked upon locking the door and taking her seat opposite to me.

"Main ekdum perfect, first class- *owww*" I exclaimed as I touched my nose accidentally!!!

"I can see that!!!”, she said as she applied an ice pack over it....

"Kab waapas aayi?", You know just being oblivious!!!

"Tumhe nahin pata?!?", Oohhh counter questioning nice!!!

"Nah, bilkul nahin"

"Toh tum yaha Papa se baat karne aaye the", I bit my lip at my own stupidity!!!

"Waise Yeh jersey tune aakhri game ke baad nahin dhoya na, aur aaj kyun pehna hain", she asked me...

“Nope nahin dhoya uss din ke baad aaj pehna hain and I'm here to talk to you, Sorry bolne aaya tha, uss din ke liye, uss har baat ke liye jiske wajeh se tu hurt Hogayi thi, tujhe na samajhne ke liye, tujhse gusse se baat karne ke liye, for not being there for you when you needed me the most I am sorry, very very sorry, earnestly Monami I am really guilty for my actions”, I said dropping his head down.

“Good that's great actually ab asli reason bataa aur kya karne aaya hain tu, woh bhi college football team jersey pehenkar”

She is certainly something, "Tujhe kya lagta hain?? Kyun aaya main yaha pe", I smirked slightly trying to give her the hint, and as though she got it, she just got up and walked to the dressing table...

"Di ka punch dimaag mein Chad gayi kya, mujhe kaise pata hoga???", She replied not looking at me!!!

I walked up to her and turned her towards me swiftly!!

Slipping my hand onto her waist I pulled her closer to me caging her in my arms....

"Sachme nahin pata, abhi bhi chup rahogi kya???”

"Kar...annn”

“Kab tak Monu, kab tak chupayegi?”

“Koi dekh lega Karan... Please hato”, I tightened my hold around her and pulled her closer!!!

“Aaj nahin Monami, Not Today Rani Sahiba, Aaj chhod diya toh hamesha ke liye regret Karunga and I don't like to have regrets in my life!!!”

“If You think you can slip in a letter into my pocket that confesses all your feelings and then walk away easily....”, I paused to look at Monami for a minute, she was whimpering and struggling to get out of the hold but I too was not in a mood to leave her today.....

“Kara....nnn”

“Then you're Thinking wrong Ms Mahajan..... Mujhe reply karne nahin dogi kya..... Adhi adhoori baat chod ke chali gayi.....”

“Kar..annn main....”

“ssshhh chup ek aur baat nahin haan agar I love you kehna chhati ho then I'm all for it cause I love you Monami....
I always have tumhe chhod kar kisi aur ko dekha tak nahin, agar relationship mein gaya toh bad tumhe jalane lekin tum ho ki koi response hi nahin....
2 saal pehle, tumhe na samajh ke, tumhare upar chilake, tumhe left out feel karwake maine bohot badi galti ki thi Monami, And I am really sorry for that. Sorry ki maine 2 saal tak tumhara letter nahin padha, sorry ke maine kabhi tumhe call nahin ki, egoistic jo hun lekin main ab sach me bol raha hu Monami I am very Sorry, sab cheez ke liye, But now I also Want to say that I Love You I really Really Love You Rani Sahiba, Jabse pyaar ka matlab samjha hain tabse, tum thi tum ho aur hamesha tum hi rahogi!!! Give me a chance to prove my Love for you....”

Monami was awestruck, shocked and taken by surprise, she took a deep breath and pulled herself out of the hold, walking up to the window she spoke up, “Karan main..... I don't know how to put this but, Okay how about this way, I forgive you, I wasn't angry technically but was just upset ki tune kabhi contact hi nahin kiya after that day, As for your confession I'm..... I can't..... I cannot accept this, I'm..... I'M MARRIED...... IT'S TOO LATE”

Authors POV
Present time

“You're WHAT???”,

“Well technically Its just what Dad was talking about what I mean is I'm gonna be married soon!!”

"Kisse????"

Monami chuckled at the inquisitiveness Karan had to know of her mystery to be fiancé.

“Hain ek Hot aur Handsome sa, I think I'm already in love with him!!!”

"But you were in love with me toh yeh kaha se aagaya???"

"Yeh Dad ka idea hain why do you think main London se 2 saal baad aayi, for vacation?"

"No no no no Monami No Main pyaar karta hu tumse"

"Main bhi Karan, Main bhi, lekin woh note likhne ke time ke aur mere abhi ke feelings mein bohot difference hain and..... Please try and understand Karan you were a crush my first crush, The first time I felt emotions for a Boy, the first time I felt like a lady, but he, he is my Love My first Love, My True Love, My addiction, My pleasure, My...... My Everything!!!! Mujhe pata hi nahin chala when I started liking him, when I started feeling for him and when-"

“Okay okay I get it, this man whoever this is, has taken me out of your heart and placed himself in it, and now he rules your heart right?”, Karan's eyes had a hopeful look in it, expecting she would nod in disagreement but no, she nodded in a yes and that was the last time he could look straight....

“Hmmm, He does rule it!!! He is just so...”

“Okay Okay enough about your perfect guy!!! Great all the best, you've moved on and I get it!!! Maybe I shouldn't have come in the first place, main chalta hu, all the best for your life ahead!!! That guy is very lucky and he better be worth it!!!”

Karan turned and pulled his feet to move further  towards the door, his steps staggered and we're slow. He felt his whole world ripping apart, he felt his dreams crashing to the ground, 2 long years of waiting and he had ruined all his chances....

Just as he was about to step out of the room, he heard something that made him pause.....

It was her....
It was her laugh....
She was laughing?!?
Was he gone all crazy??
Maybe he fainted again?...
Or maybe it was her sister's blow.....

He turned to face her only to find her laughing hysterically, clutching onto her stomach...

“OMG, Karan tum kitne phuddu ho, your face oh god yaar you were on the verge of crying, Jeez Karan”, She continued laughing

He walked slow steps reaching upto her, “Matlab..... matlab tum..... tum shaadi nahin.... nahin kar rahi ho”

“Of course karungi well that depends upon 'my guy' you know who is standing totally clueless here infront of me”

“Huhh”

Nodding her head in agreement, she walked up to him, and snaked her arms around his neck, “The guy I adore, The guy who is my world, my first love, my true love, my pleasure, mera hot and handsome guy, my first crush, my...... my everything has always been you Karan, College ke waqt se I Love you Karan, aise kaise move on kar jaati, as for abhi jo kuch bhi hua, that was just payback, you know revenge types, grad ceremony ke raat ko mere upar chilane ke liye, mujhe na samajhne ke liye, mujhe beech bastar par chodne ke liye, mujhse nataa todne ke liye, and Lastly mujhe itna wait karwane ke liye, and ya that sums up the list but jab tumse pyaar kiya hain toh thoda mazak masti chal jaati hain right, and ya, before I forget, as to answer your question from before”, she stepped back and knelt down on one knee saying

“Mr. Karan Shergill, tere first match se hi lattu ho gayi thi main tujhpar, woh bhi puri zindagi ke liye, so obviously tujhe chodkar kisi aur ke baare mein soch nahin sakti, Yeh Monami sirf aur sirf iss Karan ki hain, jaise bhi hain sirf teri hain aur hamesha rahegi!!! Kyunki tere liye note wale wakt par meri jo feelings thi na wo feelings double, triple, quadraple, pentaple, four-fold pata nahin kitni baar multiply ho chuki hain aur badh gayi hain sirf aur sirf tere liye!!! I Love You Karan Shergill, Always Have and Always will!!! So ab tu bataa, Tu karega mujhse shaadi, zindagi bhar ka waada nibhayega???”

Karan just jumped in his place with happy tears flowing out and lifted Monami up twirling her in the air, “Yess Yesss Yessss Yesssss A million Times Yessss”

“Sochle main bohot jhalli kisam ki ladki hu”

“Toh main normal ban jaunga”

“Gussa aayega toh aise hi revenge lungi”

“Areyyy yaar tere haath se zeher bhi le lunga”

“Bohot possesive hu main”

“Mujhe konsa tujhe chodkar jana hain pagli tera hi tha Tera hi hu Tera hi rahunga ”

“sochle Karan zindagi bhar ka hain aur main....”

Karan put a finger on her lips, “Monu do you trust me?”

“More than you can imagine”

“Then Kiss me already!!!!”

Monami chuckled at Karan's antics while Karan leaned in and just as they were about to kiss each other, Monami's nose bumped into Karan's making him Yelp in pain....

And Monami couldn't help but laugh out loud, Karan broke into a grin hearing her laugh like that, he had missed this and now he had it all to himself.....

They hugged each other tightly, chuckling here and there in the middle while snuggling into each other's arms.....

What started with a note ended with Love!!!
