"THE LONGEST NIGHT"
sitting with a pen in hand i started to write with a thought in mind "how should i describe what is happening to me?? what is inside me? what is wrong ? why ain't i smiling ? why ain't i crying? what is the matter?? is it guilt? is it confusion?? is it a masked happiness?? why cant i figure out?? "
i am trying hard to find this out since 22:00. and finally while writing this there is a click in my mind that its confused happiness with blurred guilt and 3 tea spoons of helplessness 3 full bloody spoons!!!
it is called helplessness caused due to restriction & communication-gap
i have been feeling uneasy since her last few sms's and six calls which i missed
i am extremely selfish....................
the day began fresh and was slightly out of schedule when teddy got started for his well planned Sunday . teddy basically thinks that sundays are meant for fun,leisure and loads of sleep...but.. things seem to be changing after he met DOLLY....he planned for the whole day and decided to work and is making this day a productive working day....
DOLLY is a young chubby beautiful girl.dolly is gifted with an amazing smile, attractive cheeks adorned with her easily visible cheek bones which makes her smile even more attractive ...she has one more thing which drives teddy crazy..
her eyes!!!!!!! dolly helps teddy with his mathematics.....
teddy and dolly belong to the same age group,hence they get along very well. teddy is a kind of student who doesn't reveal his weaknesses easily until he is not familiar to the person.but teddy easily accepts his weaknesses in front of dolly and waits for his favorite teacher to rectify him.
dolly is very patent unlike Teddy's other teachers who take swift drives at the books just to complete the syllabus as soon as possible. they are professionals and they cant or rather its impossible for them to attend each and every student- on a bench of 4 students-30 such benches in a class-8 such batches-in 10 different areas of a crowded city like mumbai going on non stop
hence when teddy realized that a below average student like him cant cope-up or gain anything from these professional coaching classes ..he decided to study on his own.
he left the coaching classes after semester 1 . he told his parents about this and assured them that if he will face any problem in his subjects he'll clear it with the help of his friends and his elder brothers ...parents agreed
teddy took his decision but.. that was the last time he was serious about it . he was never working for it...days passed by doing nothing .the time was already passing swiftly and he should've already started studying...he had to study 11 subjects ..when it was too late he found no way out to solve this rubix cube with 12 blocks 11 subjects+1 his mind
suddenly dolly came in his life, counseled him nicely and they decided to work it out and give their best the major problem is mathematics ....confidence is the only key ....dolly took the responsibility of maths ..
.
22 days were left for the examination
both of them sat for hour sand prepared thoroughly..off course the time left was very less but they tried their best
results were negative teddy cleared just 3 out of 12 papers at the end of the year.
dolly broke down as she felt she failed in what she promised teddy ...he couldn't clear maths 1
but teddy, even today is thankful to her that she threatened the fear of maths in teddy's mind./.....and now there was no fear of maths
they gave it one more try and they are still trying.. dolly had a hectic schedule with her college as well as projects etc. still she manages to give nine hours a week to teddy for his subjects .. they are good friends now... they hang out together after the study hours they share their problems with each other family problems etc. both are immensely concerned about each other
as the time passed teddy discovered that dolly is not happy in her personal life. she doesnt get proper space & freedom from her parents...she is taking all this since her childhood but now this is affecting her even more since she is a grown up girl now but still cant spend time with her friends, cant have fun with them.. every time she goes out with friends she doesnt inform her aprents and she is always worried that what will happen if her parent scome to know about all this ..she often told this to teddy that her parent are barrow minded and cant be molded
thing shave started bursting in teddy's mind and he was not able to see dolly in such an bad condition anymore.....he decided that he will take out her best friend out of all this and the only solution to this was that dolly talks to her parents openly about this.... he sits and discusses everything with her and takes a promise that today when she goes home she will have to talk to her parents because talking and sorting everything is the only solution she is scared but promises
on his way back home teddy is terribly tensed as to what is going to happen at dolly's place
his fingers are crossed he is praying for dolly
dolly calls him before entering her house
all the best
after an hour she calls him again "EVERYTHING IS FINE,DON'T WORRY"
thank you so much for your care and support
this relieved teddy ..the above phone call was made at 21:22:36
the next moment when he kept the phone , he switched his phone off and went for movie with his family.......
the show was off at 22:40 & that was the time when earth slipped away from under his legs
6 missed calls
view
dolly
3 msgs recieved
3-m switching off
2- teddy !! u der ??
1- i need you
after the messages teddy's heart sank and he realized that his friend blindly trusted him after the words
"GO FOR IT M DER WITH YOU"
..............................and where was i when she needed me???...so much that the repeated calls were made..i was enjoying a movie with my family like a trust broker bastard ..now her phone is switched off:( i cant call her to ask whats the matter exactly what happened?? cant even msg her to say sorry & to assure her again that i am there for her .....coz her narrow minded parents will object my msgs at such an odd time
the only thing i can do is
WAIT>........
till the time i meet her next
so i'll have to breathe these crucial hours by killing them anyhow....
i don't have any choice
the helplessness is just a punishment for my carelessness & ignorance
I AM SELFISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hence proved
