True Friends
⁓A friend in need is a friend indeed⁓
It's been 20 minutes since the two men have been standing on the roof, and no one has said anything.
"Ab kuch bologe bhi yaar..."
In response, the other man cleared his throat. He's been nervously standing there, as if he'll be punished if he says anything.
"Arre... kabse tum yahi kare jaa rhe ho... tumhaara gala kharaab hai to jaake vicks ki goli lo aur hichkich door karo... mujhe yaha chhat par khada karke kyu rakha hai ?..."
"Vo... vo... actually..."
"Ab bol bhi do yaar..."
"Vo maine tumhaare saath pehle kabhi achche se behave nhi kiya... ru... rude tareeke se baat karta tha tumse... tumse chilla ke bhi baat kiya bohot baar... Fir bhi tumne mera is plan mein mera saath diya... tum chaahte to mana bhi kar sakte the... lekin iske baavjood tumne meri help ki..."
"Haan toh ?..."
"Toh... to main kuch kehna chaahta tha... isse pehle main tumse kabhi keh nhi paaya... aaj mauka mila hai to socha keh du..."
"Itni nervousness kis baat ki ?... Jo kehna hai kehdo..."
"THANK YOU !!!...", he finally said what he had been wanting to say for a long time.
As Shaurya's words left his mouth, Ahir raised his brows. He tried to get a better look at Shaurya's face, which had turned away after saying thank you.
"Mujhe aise kya dekh rhe ho ?...", Shaurya asked confused.
"Tum... tum professor hi hona ?... Ya uska behroopiya ?..."
Shaurya scrunched his eyebrows in response.
"Tumhaara dimaag theek haina ?...", he said.
"Vahi main poochne vaala tha tumse professor... Tumhaara dimaag toh theek haina ?... Tumne mujhe thank you bola ?... Mujhe ?... Like really ???..."
Shaurya passed a bored look.
"Zyaada chadho mat officer..."
"Kamaal hai professor... ab maine kya kiya ?... Main toh bas yahi soch rha hoon ki ya to tum mere vaale professor nhi ho... yaa agar ho bhi toh tumhaare dimag ka screw dheela ho gaya hai..."
"Bohot hua officer... ab itna bhaav mat khaao... Thank you diya hai chup-chaap rakh lo...", he ordered.
"Aise dhamki deke thank you kaun bolta hai bhai..."
"Ye Shaurya Sabharwal ka style hai..."
"Haan... haan... aapka toh sab kuch unique style hota hai... chalo theek hai... mai rakh leta hoon ... Kitne ka hai ye thank you ?..."
Shaurya slightly smiled.
Both looked at each other and then burst out laughing after a few moments of stealing glances. After laughing so hard, they both felt very light.
"Kya yaar professor... thank you bolne mein itna nervous ho rhe the jaise pta nhi mujhe propose karne vale the...", this earned him a glare.
"Mujhe laga pta nhi itni kya zaroori baat hai jo tum mujhe yaha chhat par le aaye... Ab ye bhi bata deejiye professor... ye thank you tha kisliye ?..."
Shaurya smiled, a grateful smile. His hand rested on Ahir's shoulder.
He smiled broadly at Ahir and looked him in the eyes, as if trying to convey something. Ahir raised his brows and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Kya professor... aise kyu ghoor rhe ho ?... Main itna sundar hoon kya ?..."
Shaurya smiled at his antics. Ahir always crack jokes that makes him laugh out loud.
Sighing a deep breath, he started...
"Thank you... us din mujhe lock-up mein band karne ke liye... nhi to main apni ego samjh nhi paata...", Ahir chuckled at this.
"Thank you... us din Girl's hostel mein mujhe mushkil mein padne se bachaane ke liye..."
"Thank you... mujhe jealous karwaane ke liye... mujhe mera pyaar realize karvaane ke liye..."
"Thank you... meri Anokhi ko safe rakhne ke liye..."
"Thank you... meri madad karne ke liye..."
"Thank you... m... mujh par bharosa karne ke liye ki main Anokhi ke kaabil life partner ban paaunga...", Shaurya was aware that Ahir had feelings for Anokhi, but like a true gentleman, he never intervened between them, proving how much of a good and loyal human being he was. Though Shaurya used to get irked by him whenever he was around Anokhi , but now he understands him. His eyes were getting a little wet.
"Thank you... mera saath dene ke liye..."
"Thank you... ek..."
"Bass karo professor... emotional kar diya yaar...", Ahir just hugged him in response to hide his own tears. He loved Anokhi but he also knew the fact that she was in love with Shaurya. He was hurt when she rejected him, but he was able to see the bright side later on. He felt content knowing that the woman he loved was happy with the person she loved. He has moved on and is extremely happy for the couple. He knew that Shakhi are meant to be together and he is absolutely happy with it. Most importantly, they are all great friends and this is the best thing.
"Thank you... ek TRUE FRIEND banne ke liye...", Shaurya finally concluded his thank you(s) by whispering this into his ear.
Ahir rubbed his back for comfort. They both pulled back after a while, feeling embarrassed because they were both in tears. They'd never seen each other like this before.
Ahir felt very good when he regarded him as his "true friend". No one has ever acknowledged him this way. He felt very touched.
"Tum rote bhi ho officer ?... Tumhaara aanko se paani beh rha hai...", he mocked.
"To tumhaare aankho se kya volcano ka lava beh rha hai ?... Tum bhi toh ro hi rhe ho... Aadmi hai to ro nhi sakte kya...", Ahir reprimanded sarcastically.
"Baat to sahi hai tumhari... "
Both remained silent for few minutes.
Ahir finally spoke, "Professor... maine jo bhi kiya... vo ek dost hone ke naate kiya... tumhaara bhi aur Anokhi ji ka bhi... iske liye thank you ki zaroorat nhi... Main khush hoon ki ab tum dono saath ho... aur sab kuch solve ho chuka hai..."
"Sada khush rho...", he blessed Shaurya humorously by placing his hand on his head.
"Thank you... Ahir baba ji ", he bowed his head.
"Aap inspector se sanyaasi kab ban gaye...", both laughed at this.
"Jokes aside... lekin seriously Ahir... tum aur Babli ji nhi hote to main ye sab nhi kar paata... Mujhe meri Anokhi mil gayi... humaari... humaari officially shaadi ho gayi... ye sab main tumhaare bina nhi kar paata... Aakhir tum hi to ho jisne pehli baar Anokhi ji ka saath chodkar iss professor ka saath diya..."
"Haan... vo to hona hi tha... Ye shaadi ki planning mein tumne mujhe bhi fasa diya tha... main to darr rha tha ki jab Anokhi ji ko pta chalega ki tum Shagun ke saath shaadi ka naatak kar rhe the to unka reaction kaisa hoga... Shuru se mujhe lagta tha tum bohot egoistic type ke... bade akdu se professor ho... lekin fir baad mein dheere-dheere pta chala tum asal mein kaise ho aur kyun ho... Pehle mujhe tum itne pasand nhi the professor... lekin fir us din riot vale incident ke din tumhaara ek alag hi roop dekhne ko mila... uske baad se pta chala jaisa dikhta hai vaisa humesha hota nhi... Insaan to tum achche ho... Isiliye to saath diya tumhaara... tum itna pyaar jo karte ho Anokhi ji se... You both are very lucky to have each other...", Ahir's honesty made Shaurya more happy. Shaurya was moved by his openness in expressing his feelings about him. He lacked a buddy in his life and was blessed to have Ahir as one.
"Ab main itna bhi kuch khaas nhi...", Shaurya's face flushed like a shy child.
"Sharmaana band karo professor... meri hasi nikal jaayegi... "
"To hasne se kisne mana kiya hai tumhe ?..."
"Main to has doonga fir tum bura mat manna..."
"Haan... haan nhi maanunga..."
Both exchanged glances and laughed a little.
"Officer..."
"Mera ek naam hai professor... It's Ahir Chattwal..."
"Same to you too Mr. Chattwal... mera bhi Shaurya naam hai..."
"Haan ab aage bolo jo bol rhe the...", Ahir said.
"Haan... main... main yeh bol rha tha ki... ki... tum... "
"Ab firse kya hua ?... Firse nervous ho rhe ho..."
"Kya tum mere dost banoge ?...", Shaurya asked.
Ahir stared at him with mouth hung open.
"Javaab to do offi.... I mean Ahir..."
"Abhi- abhi tumne kya kaha proff... I mean Shaurya ???... "
"Main dost nhi to dushman hoon kya ?... Tumhaara dost hoon isiliye to aaj hum dono... yaha is aasmaan ke neeche... yaha chhat par ek saath khade hai... dost nhi to aur kya hoon main ???..."
"Ohh achcha... matlab tum... tum mujhe apna dost maante ho ?...", Shaurya asked with child like excitement.
"Ab tumhe main certificate doon humari dosti ka ???... Ajeeb baat karte ho... Dost ho tum mere Mr. Shaurya... Samjhe ???..."
This time, Shaurya hugged him.
Ahir smiled and patted his back.
Both felt absolutely thrilled for their friendship.
"Ab neeche chalo Shaurya... Anokhi ji aur Babli ji humaara intezaar kar rhe hai..."
"Hmmm... chalo..."
They both went downstairs, and a big smile continued to play on their lips.
The two men, who used to be critics of each other, are now more than good buddies.
One trusted the other as a needy friend, and the other didn't betray his trust and became a loyal friend.
These are called TRUE FRIENDS...
