I Live You ...

The coffee cure

I'm posting 2 parts of the story in one day ... In case you are thinking I'm too free let me tell you that's not the case on TU i've posted till the 19th part so there is no harm in posting 2 parts in one day over here ...

It was midnight & Sona had gone to the kitchen to drink water when she noticed that the light of Asha's room was still on.

Sona : Maa .. You're still up?

Asha : Sona .. aao na .. I'm just filling up some forms there are some vacancies of a teacher's job out I'm filling them. You've finished your studies?

Sona: You're interview today didn't work out ?

Asha: No... but you don't worry. I'll get a job somewhere

Sona: Why don't you continue writing that book. You'll get famous and that is your passion why don't you follow it?

Asha: Beggars can't be choosers. Your Masi & Mesho have done a lot for us. Had it not been for them do you think we would be out of that hell? Sona .. I agreed to take help from them because I had no other way to get us out of that house. When your father was alive things were different but now we may be living in a good house, you are going to the best school of Delhi but I have not earned it ... Sona.... Sona are you listening?

Sona was lost in her thoughts. Her face turned pale. She was trying to fight tears that were coming in her eyes while her mind was running scenes from her past.

Asha: Sona ... stay her ... I'll just come back...

Sona was hiding under a table from where she could hear violent noises. Smashing of chairs, people shouting. For once, she felt that she heard Asha cry in pain but she was told not to stir and she lay there hiding. For how long she didn't knew. In all the voices she could here she only understood one thing & that was Asha saying "Why are you doing this? If you can't spare me spare my Sona atleast.. for God's sake ... She is your own blood."

The next thing that Sona remembers is a loud scream ... She heard Asha shout.

Sona remembered the moisture in her eyes then & she could still feel that same moisture coming back in her eyes.

Asha sensed what Sona was going through & she shook her to bring her back to the present

Asha: Sona ... Sona I'm sorry baccha ... I didn't want to disturb you. Sona please snap out of it....

Sona: It's ok maa ... I'm very brave ... I can fight

Asha: You don't have to I won't let you face it again. Accha now wipe your tears..... Coffee ?

Asha & Sona are next seen in the kitchen where Asha is making coffee and Sona is sitting on the slab

( I know it's not the exact picture but couldn't find a better one)

Asha: Here take your coffee

Sona drank her cold coffee but the cream of the coffee was in a naughty mood & it made a moustache on her face. Asha laughed heartily at the site and seeing Asha laugh Sona's fears vanished. Love at first sight is true because you love your mom since the time you saw her. Sona & Asha completely proved it. Asha is not just Sona's mom but a friend, confidant. Sona & Asha's world starts & ends at each other.

Asha: So how's school ?

Sona: Grey

Asha : & the bus?

Sona: Yellow & there is a dirty fellow in it too ...

Asha: Teachers?

Sona: Fab...

Asha: Made new friends?

Sona felt like telling Asha that no one talked to her except Jatin and those two girls in the bus but decided against it.

Sona: There is no one of my standard...

Asha: Why do you take so much time in making friends Sona. If no one speaks to you speak to them you take the initiative

Sona: How do you know?

Asha: I am your mom ... I've kept u inside me for 9 months

Sona: Correction 7.5 months & don't start with those cliché dialogues again

Asha: Mai cliché ho gyi!!!

Sona: Na na you are the youngest elderly person I know..

& saying so Sona ran towards her room. Asha chased her but Sona was too fast for her. She hurried towards her room & closed the door.

Sona( from the other side) : I love you Asha

Asha : Love you too meri amma.. Now continue with your studies.

Sona turned to her father's portrait "Dekha Papa, Your Sona will never let your Asha cry."

Sona took out her Maths book from her bag,picked her phone and inserted her ear phones in her ears. She switched on the radio...

91.1: Dukhi man mere.... Sun mera kehna .. (Boring)

92.7: Shola jo bharke dil mera dhadke

Dard jawani ka sataye badh badh ke (Kuch bhi gaane banate hain ye log)

93.5

Sona immediately recognized the tune & let the music do the magic

Pal do pal ki kyu hai zindagi

Iss pyaar ko hai

Sadiyan kaafi nahi

Toh khuda se maang lu,

Mohlat main ek nayi

Rehna hai bas yaha

Ab door tumse jana nahi

Jo tu mera humdard hai

Jo tu mera humdard hai 

Suhana har dard hai

Jo tu mera humdard hai

Sona's POV- God knows if I will ever get my humdard

PRECAP- Towards a new friendship ...
