The loudspeakers, of the airport, announced with a high pitch: "Attention, passengers! The flights were postponed two hours later due to the abnormal weather conditions and the heavy rains. Kindly wait with patience!" The Whole crowd on the waiting hall started shattering with that news. On a contrast, There is a fellow with a broad smile stretching over his lips. he moved towards the glass-fold aperture, just to watch out the heavenly dew drops from the sky...
Dharsh is what everyone calls him. He is seriously looking at the wet sky through the glass, thinking on something.. Let's move to his flashback (12 years back..)
(Past)
Dharsh is kind, though not an easy-going type. He is a lot introverted, especially with girls. A great badminton lover!
It was a quite rainy day. Dharsh didn't want himself to be suffered from some cold and cough, and so he moved towards the nearby sheltering browsing centre, owned by his friend.
Supporting his upper side body on the pillar, at the entrance, he was keen to watch out, at the blue bleeding sky. With that climate surrounded, an additional essence of chilling breeze hit over his face, and the yellow, aromatic bunch of flowers from the Madder family, was pulled down to the ground. Like the scenario seems to bring a heroine on screen, things happened.
"Excuse Me!", a pleasant voice shrilled at Dharsh's ears. He suddenly made his body, turned around 180 degrees, and stunned with that moment, to see her shining eyes. She requested Dharsh to help her out with the 'logging on' issues on her system. However, Dharsh managed to be constant with his provided character and didn't even attempt to make an extra word with her. He just moved to her computer and solved whatever she asked. Before getting her credits, he ran off back to his position. After a score of minutes, the clouds were emptied, all its raindrops. When Dharsh was about to leave the area, the girl, whom he helped, accompanied by another girl, stopped Dharsh's way. That girl thanked him for his help at the right time. She added that he was the only reason to get her, the last few unbooked movie tickets, booked for her following day's first show.
He laid his head down and said nothing. The two had well-understood his nature. Another girl, who was standing next, stared our hero, for a while, and then she got to know that he was the same Dharsh, she used to have some love-corner, since her school-days. Yes! Dharsh and that girl, Reva did schooling in the same institution. Though Darsh didn't know much about her, she had an eye on Dharsh. She didn't want to reveal it, even then, at the browsing centre. Reva, just reminded that she is his schoolmate. And of course, Dharsh didn't even care to take in, even Reva's name on his mind. He just nodded for everything and tried to escape from them.
In spite of his inner thoughts that highly struggled to make out some speech with the other girl, his mind and regular habits did a halt as usual.
(Present)
Today, with the replenishment of the weather, the fight is all set to fly, towards LA. And someone is walking all the way, with our Dharsh, helping him with his luggage, and kinds of stuff. Let that person, be there with him. We'll take care of that, at the climax. Dharsh comfortably occupied his seat near the window. As the plane started, every passenger, have distinct mindsets, which all clearly expressed in their facial muscles. After few moments, when the plane makes its moves between the fluffy clouds, Dharsh dropped a few drops of tears, while peering his way through the window casement.
Again move back to the flashback...
(Past)
The days moved on, as nothing happened. Yeah, nothing happened. One fine day, Dharsh was roaming around his college campus, where he found the same girl (not Reva) again. Only then, he got to know that she was the student of the same college of him. Even though he saved her image at mind, she didn't. She didn't even notice Dharsh, just passed him. Likely Incidents had happened frequently, then. Despite the desires of his insight to talk with her, his useless attitude wouldn't let space for that. Also, it hadn't been a case of impact on him.
Months passed, then. The college announced to conduct its annual inter-college cultural festival. The students' association of the college, usually plays a major role in organizing the fest. The clubs have started enrolling their students, for organizing and coordinating activities. Dharsh was interested in such activities regarding sports and kinds of stuff. Thus, he went there, to be a part on sports club under the badminton domain. Either his fortune or disluck, the fate was waiting to provide, something special for him there. She (again, not Reva) had also been selected for organizing sports in the same club. After the club meets, She headed to Dharsh, and introduced herself as 'Megha', and added that she had met him already, somewhere. Yes. She couldn't remember their last and only meeting. He started trembling, and his body temperature raised unusually. He, for the very first time, appreciated some girl, for her beauty, at least on his heart! The words started flowing tremendously to represent their first meeting. She could slowly recall that. Then, they had a deal for the start of a great and fresh friendship. Like starting up the modern day friendships, both had exchanged mobile numbers, and a simple beginner's Whatsapp text: "Hi, blah.. blah..".
With the time, the friendship had thickened.
(It's time to introduce Megha's characteristics: Portrayed to be bold, ever-charming, ever-active, clever, and easy-mingling nature.) This nature of her, made her bond with Darsh to be better-fastened. But remember! Megha never saw Dharsh, to be something more than a friend. According to her, he is just her friend. But her closeness started seeding some impact on him. Before then, He never thought any sort of feel like what, he was exploring at that circumstance. He got wings inside while walking with her. He had the habit to fly directly over to Iceland when her friendly hands approached him. That feeling of something, he didn't know to name it, what. But some kind of bhoot, he began nurturing well over his mind. Maybe 'Love'. But, he never wanted the demon to conquer his life. He was on a search for a better time and place to open up his thoughts on her, to her itself.
But the proper time and place weren't near. It seemed. But his demon had been nourished with even more memories on that short period onwards.
He was then and there, everywhere for her. He did all kinds of aids in a friendly manner. He bought her all the first day- first show tickets standing up all the long queues.. helped out with her proxy-arrangements whenever she bunked classes.. he was there as an ever-filled money purse to buy her, the delicious samosas.. he bunked his classes, only for the reason that she wanted to roam somewhere.. There is Dharsh's only friend, Khan whom he shared all the issues regarding his feelings over Megha. And thus, Khan knows everything except Who Megha was. Uh! He never saw Megha before.
The birthday of Megha was soon approaching, by the end of that week. Dharsh's most expected time was there, at last! He decided to do a great party on the college ground, where he could express all his inner feelings, for her. When he was about to arrange everything, Megha called Dharsh, to invite him to her party on her birthday, and added that she would be unboxing a great surprise, there.
Finally, the most expected weekend arrived. With a bunch of red flowers, over the wrapped gift box, he reached the party place. It was a lovely garden area, situated nearby the college.
(Get clear here: Dharsh had something on his mind for Megha and too thought that She would have owned the same set of feelings for him. But, Megha was clear with the fact that she is only a good friend of Dharsh.)
The pleasant aromatic roses surrounded, colourful balloons touched the treetops, Megha too dressed up as an angel in red, situation seemed to be too romantic to Dharsh. Dharsh was waiting to get the first piece, after cake-cutting, by her hands. Then, something happened that was totally unexpected!
She lifted her cake-holding hand, and fed some other person, standing next to her. Then, she broke that surprise to her friends. Her surprise turned out to be a hurting shock to Dharsh!
"Happy to share with you guys, that I'm no more single!", She hugged that person and continued, "He is Glen, and We both have been dating together since last 6 months!" The whole crowd celebrated and congratulated both. That was the first time for Glen and Megha to reveal that they are on a relationship, even to their closed ones! Dharsh was totally heart-broken.. He felt the environment to be suffocating, his heart started groaning like anything. Accepting everything, he just smiled and wished Megha. He left that place immediately then, with some saltless reasons. He ran somewhere far away... To the place where, anyone couldn't find him.., to the dark. Started crying out loudly, like a hungry infant. He deleted Megha's everything from his phone, and tried hard to delete her even from his mind! His lonely days, started moving without her, he was working hard to restore his old life, back! He never spoke to, or met Megha, after her birthday. He avoided Megha, intentionally. (even when he faced her directly.)
(Present)
Dharsh arrived after a comfortable flight journey, to his destiny. He and the person accompanying him, are rushing somewhere. Their fast-moving footsteps, wet eyes, and dull faces, speechless dried lips, everything signifies, that they are moving towards something, important and urgent! Wait... Who's that person?? Aahhh! She..! She is Reva! After 12 years, She was again to our vision, (particularly to be noted: she was with Dharsh)
(Past)
Things started moving normally, but Dharsh was becoming worst in everything. His interest in studies and his favourite badminton got totally down! It was a pleasant evening. Glen and Megha were having a romantic time, at the canteen. When Khan and Dharsh passed by that way, Glen called Khan. Two were good friends, already. On seeing Dharsh, Megha called him loudly, in a hasty manner. However, Dharsh managed to skip them, with some other reasonless reasons. On investigating Khan, Megha got to find out all the problems of Dharsh. Yess... She had been informed that Dharsh was on serious love with a girl, followed by its failure. She didn't know that the girl was herself. Also, Khan didn't know who Megha was. Everything was a fate's play! (Remember: Still, Khan didn't know that her name was Megha)
After a day or two, Megha succeeded in getting Dharsh. She force-stopped Dharsh to deliver some pieces of good words. She hoped her words could change his life, Yes! It did a lot!
"Dharsh... You know, what?! You are such an amazing, lovable, and caring person... Even I would've preferred you, if I'd met you, before Glen. Believe me; you can do wonders! Just continue with what you've done all those past days! Hit your shuttlecock even harder, Make your loved one feel that she has missed you, missed a great choice to grab you. Make a shout that you will be fine without her, and make sure that you don't miss her! Say one thing; have you confessed your love to her? Shall I speak to her??", She asked. "No!", He replied with tears, dropping from his eyes. She didn't want to disturb him, further. She just left the place with a wave off!
Then Dharsh heard her voice and her same words repeatedly echoed on his ears. He made a deep plan of his next step in his life. He decided to take over badminton for his life and as his life! He never missed a day then, to play. His untiring efforts and dedicated passion made him a proper professional sportsman! Years flew. He began participating in all national and international level badminton tournaments, and had won many of those matches!
(Now, he is an official sportsman!)
Just the words, from your true love, can make you energetic, can make you do great things, can help you achieve the peaks! Here, presenting you the tale of true love! Only with a few words from her to be the 'life-long boost up', for him!
One fine day, (after their college-era ends, and everyone has settled on their lives) Reva met Dharsh and proposed to marry him. Choosing the one who loved you, will always be better than the one you loved! Well-understanding her love on him, he nodded for her request! Everything was set, then! They both married, and started running with their lives!
(Present)
From the LA Airport, the couple moved to a villa. The location looked as they are on heaven. The shining blue sky, gently moving clouds, butterflies-crowded fragrant gardens, everything crowned the central villa. A lot of people, (Both Indians and the English) have surrounded the villa. Entering the main hall, Dharsh held the white bokeh of flowers, with both of his hands and moved some steps forward. There, situated a coffin chamber. Megha, like a lifeless angel, is lying inside. She is no more. A Day ago, Megha's husband informed Reva, the friend of Megha, that she died of an accident! And that's why they are here: Los Angels which is the present location of Megha and her family.
Dharsh kneels down and has placed the fresh flowers over her resting body. He makes a drop, out of his eye! These 12 years have turned Valentine's red roses to mourning white roses, and that's all what he could gift his love!
And at last, the heavenly creature who's actually responsible for the current points of pride of Dharsh, is lying dead. His Untold Love will always be living within the deeper insights of Dharsh! The word, Untold here refers to a boundless thing, that can't be measured by anything!
Here's the end of this lovely tale!
