Hello Everyone!
In the last story about an inseparable, unconventional couple, it was mentioned that it was a story of unprecedented sacrifices. I am sorry those sacrifices were not brought to your notice n the story, but it had a reason. The sacrifices were not made by the heroes of our story but by someone else. I will call this someone else as RA2. Well no guesses required as again the coincidence undertaking holds.
The story begins in one of the most beautiful, extremely scenic and abundantly sought after, the city of dreams, the city of rivers, the city of gardens, everything to the extent of virtually being the Capital of INDIA, the Punjabi city whose vivacity made a whole group of ultra-talented musicians name their band on the name of the city. Yes this was the kind of image RA2 had about his native place and no wonder he was as possessive, as awed by its existence, as is a mother for her child. Any notions u spoke about against this city and RA2 was silently cursing you, that is how he was, silent, polite, soft and amiable. Peace loving guy, he never got involved in any brawls and was always to be found among a chick group of friends enjoying himself in the old city. He was a born sportsman, a virtuous cricketer and a very passionate footballer, whose heroics on the field were unmatched, in school, in colony and in college where he was soon going to be. RA2 was a very responsible guy, very friendly, always keeping away from trouble (remember Imran Khan of Jaane Tu fame?) and was never involved in any acts of abusing, abusing people or his rights as an individual. There was no deeds which would make his parents think that they need to keep an eye on him. Such was the aura, the image and the respect of this sagacious being.
This almost perfect example of living had just one short coming and that was his hesitation in starting a new conversation with a stranger and his reserved nature, which though won him many silent admirers,specially in the female fraternity (what with his ultra cool looks and radiating personality), but he couldn't get that someone special in his life, though many craved to take that spot.
It was then that after completing his schooling, he was to move the new house, the new place, the place where he was to spend the last few years of his teenage, the place boasting of producing one of the most intelligent and hardworking technocrats ever, the institute famous both with the locales of Rajasthan and Haryana, the same college where RA and BA also enrolled along with RA2. Put again in this world of hostility, what would have our very reserved, very timid and extremely gentle RA2 done to overcome his inner fears . But, as is said "the one who is virtuous never laments" and RA2 got a perfect roommate in RA, two people vastly varying in their visible nature, like poles of a magnet but yet connected by that thin veil of similar inner soul and by that profound fondness for making friends specially with one you have to stay for one full year. They became excellent friends, RA at his best as he always was at making his male friends feel comfortable in his company and RA2 slowly coming out of the shackles of self control he had put on himself.
RA probably for the first time didn't have any indecent intentions, what with his eyes already saying oodles about his affection for BA but he couldn't avoid being gentle with his roommate and RA2 probably fell in for this, as never before had he experienced such affection, care, advice and love from a friend. Unknowingly, RA2 started to take RA for granted and would always go back to him with any of his queries about life and the various tests it puts it into. They were both enjoying themselves and RA2 now changed into a very different person, enjoying himself to the fullest, making friends easily and he was loving the change and probably in the hindsight the person who brought the changes as well.
It was then that one day, their neighbour, JT came and slept between them, probably on RA's insistence and thats when RA2 realized what he should not long for. He soon tried to get back to his normal self, trying rid himself of the special feeling he had harnessed for RA and it was then that he made his first sacrifice of keeping distance from the person he liked the most on campus. The shock was not yet over, a few days later RA2 learned of the feelings RA had for BA and that is when he was shattered. But again, being a fighter, he made naother sacifice and encouraged both RA and BA to get on with it.
RA2 then, being as thoughtful as he always was, made his life turn a little bit and fell for a girl, most of the campus admired for anything but looks. RA2 was too depressed to go in for the looks and though he didn't come out with it, but his friends observed that shine in his eyes whenever her name propped up in any conversation and it was then that RA2 was renamed to P.RA.
P.RA was not ready to mingle yet and hence in order to keep himself occupied and keep his friends from nagging him, he started getting close to another friend, two great friends put together again, P.RA and RSS.
RSS we will get to know in the next blog to come. I hope my readers are waiting for it to come, kindly let me know.
PS: Pls take this all in good humour and if anyone finds it offending, kindly let me know.
