Humnava Mere-Female Version

HUMNAVA MERE

It was a normal day in the ETF with none of the ETF members having any idea how this day would change their lives. Everyone was gathered in the conference room, Rathore and Arjun readingthe files, Ayesha, Liza and Sakshi chatting with each other and Shree messing with his laptop and Chotu eating his burger. No one knew in the next moment everything would change.

Rathore heard his phone ping, and saw that a notification came up. It was a notification to his email. Arjun’s attention shifts from the file to Rathore as he sees Rathore open his mobile and read his email. And the next second, his heart stopped as he sees Rathore stand up in shock his chair clattering to the floor. Everyone looks at Rathore in shock now. Arjun immediately gets up and sees Rathore swaying on his feet.He moves closer to him giving him the support, he requires covertly. Plucking the mobile from Rathore’s clenched fingers, he reads the email.

Everyone feel a coldness shiver down their spine as they sees their Arjun Sir transfer into that ruthless persona that is often seen when he feels threatened. This person follows norules, believes in no limits to get justice. Arjun wordlessly gives the phone to Shree and Shree plugs the phone into his laptop. Opening Rathore’s email, he opens the letter and his hands stop typing as he reads the email in front of him.

Dear Rathore Sir,

Sub:  My Resignation from the ETF

This letter is with regards to my resignation from the position of the Research Specialist of the ETF team. Since, my health makes it no longer permissible to continue in this position, I would like to tender my resignation effective immediately.

Regards,

Riya Mukherjee,

Former Research Specialist.

Chotu and Ayesha read the letter over Shree’s shoulder and both of them stiffen in anger. Everyone in ETF knew that the Research Specialist was a sensitive topic, especially so close to the date when she saved this country. It has been almost 2 years since her death,but even now the topic brings a sadness in the ETF men’s eyes which lasts for along time. No one saw her photo, but everyone knows that there is one memento of hers belonging to each ETF male member.

Shree traced the email to a laptop located in Goa. Booking the next flight without any delay, they all reach Goa within 6 hrs of the received email. Email’s location showed that itwas from a café titled D’Costas. It was decided that they will wait till the café’s closing time to talk to the owner since an event seems to be held in the café regarding songs.

Everyone seated themselves in a position facing the area, where the owner was located. He was greeting everyone by name and seems to be familiar with a lot of people. Reaching the stage, he picks up the mike, he said “Good evening gentlemen, welcome to the Night of Emotions.Today, everyone is invited to say their emotions through a song. Sing it out for songs are a life’s way of expressing everything hidden. For our first performance, we have our own pianist. Now, you all familiar with her music, but it seems our pianist has a hidden talent, she can also sing. And right now for us, she is willing to express what she is feeling today. So please put your hands together for our very own  piano darling.”

The café then becomes in darkness, with a spotlight headed on the piano. Seeing the owner get off the stage, Arjun makes a move towards him when he hears a voice which is familiar to him sing.

Ho..
Kal raaste mein
Ghum mil gaya tha
Lag ke gale main ro diya

(The spotlight widens, showing the person sitting at the piano,her dimpled smile no longer present on her face, her every move on the piano conveying her sadness.Every ETF Male Member felt the breath struck in their throat seeing her face stuck in sadness.)

Jo sirf mera
Tha sirf mera
Maine usse kyun kho diya

Haan wo ankhein jinhe main
Chumta tha bewajah
Pyar mere liye kyun
Unmein baaki na raha

Ho..
Humnava mere
Tu hai toh meri saansein chale

Bata de kaise main jiyunga tere bina

O humnava mere
Tu hai toh meri saansein chale
Bata de kaise main jiyunga tere bina

(Chotu made a move to go towards her, but Ayesha stopped him and shook her head motioning to the crowd. The torture present in the ETF male members eye’s at the anguish in her voice was seen by all the ETF female members)

Har waqt dil ko jo
Sataye aisi kami hai tu
Main bhi na janu yeh ke itna
Kyun laazmi hai tu

Neendein ja ke na lauti
Kitni raatein dhal gayi
Itne taare gine ke
Ungliyan bhi jal gayi

O Humnava mere
Tu hai toh meri saansein chale
Bata de kaise main jiyunga tere bina

O humnava mere
Tu hai toh meri saansein chale
Bata de kaise main jiyunga tere bina

Oo..

Tu aakhri aansu o yaara
Hai aakhri tu ghum
Dil ab kahan hai jo dobara
De dein kisi ko hum

(She feels her desperation, to move on yet no hope for any part in her to forget them. They will forever be a part of her life as the reason for her pain)

Apni shamon mein hissa
Phir kisi ko na diya
Ishq tere bina bhi maine
Tujhse hi kiya

(She feels her hope for the one person who has taught her the meaning of love slowly decline. She always knew it won’t be reciprocated, she just never thought it will be tossed aside like a cloth also)

O Humnava mere
Tu hai toh meri saansein chale
Bata de kaise main jiyunga tere bina

O faasle na de
Ki main hoon aasre tere
Bata de kaise main jiyunga tere bina

Aazma raha mujhe kyun
Aa bhi ja kahin se ab tu
Kaise main jiyunga tere bina

Sine mein jo dard rahe hain
Tere naam pe chale hain
Kaise main jiyunga tere bina

Humnava mere
Tu hai toh meri saansein chale
Bata de kaise main jiyunga tere bina

(Yet, even now she knows that until she stops breathing, she will always hope for them, that they will come for her, as long as she breathes,she will always live for her ETF Team).

Her eyes were closed as she finishes the song conveying everything of her turbulent emotions regarding her former team. Even now, when darkness is a part of her life, she believes them to be her light. Will always believe them to come even when no hope is left that they will come.

Arjun stands in front of the stage, waiting for to open her eyes. Her eyes open, but no expression is registered on her face. It is as if she can’t seem him there at all. As the applause for the performance slowly dies down, she smiles but no joy is present in her smile. As she removes her leg to the other side of the chair, Arjun notices her searching her pockets for something. The guitarist comes near her and holds her by hand making her stand up. She mentions something to him, and then he removes something from the piano stand. She giggles and takes it from him, and opens it up. The something turns out to be a long white stick, with aloop of wire at the end. All the ETF members come to realize the same thing.Their most important member, the first Female ETF member, Riya Mukherjee is blind.

So, this song's original is by Jubin. But since I liked the female version better so I have posted it for this shot.  I don't know when I am going to update, so please be patient. Hope you like the song, and please comment.

No, they did not know that Riya is alive.

Chapter 2

Shree made a move to step in front of Riya but Rathore blocked him. Frustrated, he looks at him but Rathore just indicates with his eyes. Turning around, Shree saw what he hadn’t seen earlier. A man was standing in front of the stage, his posture evident that he was a bodyguard. As, Riya got down from the stage, the man fell in step beside her his eyes roaming around searching. Shree and Rathore turned, not to bring attention to them.

Chotu’s eyes burnt seeing him stand on the right side of Riya. He always stood on the right side of Riya. He went to step towards them, but Ayesha caught his arm and just shook her head. By then, Riya and the bodyguard reached the entrance of the club as the club owner announced a new singer and went outside. As soon as they step outside, all ETF team members make way to the entrance. But by the time they reached the entrance, Riya and the bodyguard disappeared.

“Dammit”, Rathore said. Ayesha looked at Shree and Chotu who stayed silent still processing the fact that their best friend is alive. Ayesha turns to Rathore and asked “Were you really not aware that Riya is alive?”. Everyone looked at Ayesha in shock questioning Rathore like that. Seeing Rathore’s shocked expression, she said “I am sorry Sameer but this is a valid question. There have been instances where the chief to protect the team members declared them dead. This could have happened in Riya’s case. And for one year, we were not even aware that Riya was alive. This could only mean two things. One the person took measures to ensure that we didn’t know Riya was alive. And the second thing, to ensure such a thing he had to have the power and the resources and Rathore Sir you have both.”

Rathore rubbed his face. What Ayesha said was true. If this was a case, then this would have been logicfollowed. But this was not a case. This was Riya. Riya, who was becoming a protegee of Rathore, best friend of Shree and Chotu, had crazy beliefs about cleanliness and who had something which could not be defined with Arjun.Taking a deep breath to calm his thoughts down, he replies “I know Ayesha, what you said is logical. But Riya stopped breathing in front of us. But there have been instances of faint pulse being present in individuals who are not breathing. We should have checked. We should not have given up so soon.”

Sakshi suddenly notices someone missing and turns around. Looking around her, she then went inside the club.Coming out, everyone saw her puzzled expression. She asks “Where is Arjun?”.Everyone now notices Arjun non-appearance. And as they realized where he went ,all three of the ETF men, smile.

Riya rarely felt the need not to talk to someone. She likes talking. It was her favourite thing to do. But ever since she had the virus, and her eyesight was affected, she never felt like talking. Don’t mind, it’s not because she does not want to talk to anyone, but he surrounded her not with people but with puppets. Riya could feel their gaze on her and can often discern the emotions from the way they gaze at her.Sometimes, they gaze at her with envy, with anger. But fear, she always felt fear in their gaze when he was nearby. How much ever he tried to make her comfortable but the mansion he had placed her in stating for her own safety and care, she always felt suffocated. The mansion didn’t felt like a home, more like a prison. And she is resentful of the fact that there seems to be no escape and no one to help her escape.

Sensing her bodyguard stop beside her, she realized that they have reached the car. As the bodyguard opens the door, and she steps inside, she felt something. She turns around like a wolf smelling a scent. The bodyguard notices and asks “Any problem Mam?”. Riya turns to feel that same something but it seems to have disappeared. Disappointed that it was nothing, she shook her head and said “Nothing.” Feeling the bodyguard’s suspicious gaze on her, she stepped fully inside the car. The door is closed behind and to get rid of her thoughts, Riya takes out her headphones and plugs and starts her music. The bodyguard instead of going to the driver’s seat went a little further from the car, trying to see into the darkness. Hearing a slight sound, he turns and walks in that direction. He sees nothing. Walking back into the car, he climbs in the driver’s seat and starts the car. No one notices how the car’s truck is only slightly open enough for someone to breath air.

Feeling the car, stop and the rush of air, Riya knows that she has reached the mansion. Stepping outside, she removes the stick and navigates the steps of the entrance. Feeling someone standing beside but still far enough not to touch, Riya feels a frustration rise inside her. She suddenly felt really suffocated in the clothes she wears,in the mansion she is in. The maid said “Mam should I set dinner for you?”

Riya snapped “No, I am not hungry.” And starts walking towards what seems to be the room. She climbs the staircase and walks into a room. Recognizing the smell, she knows its her own room,  closes and locks the door and frustrated she throws the stick on the ground. Navigating, her way, she bumps into the bed and sits down. Bringing her knees up, she puts her head between her knees and starts crying. Everything is too much today. She misses them too much. Did they really consider her a burden? Was she because she is handicapped?How they were so busy, that they couldn’t find the time to even meet her once?Tell her everything is okay? Feeling an outburst coming out of her, she takes a pillow and screams into it. Hearing footsteps come in front of her door, she screams “I am not hungry. Go away.” The footsteps walks away from the door.

Suddenly, Riya felt a presence inthe room. Reaching for a showpiece on the bed stand, she said “Who’s there?”.The presence stopped. Riya slowly got up from the bed and starts walking in the direction where she felt the presence. She said “I am blind, not stupid. Whoare you? Tell me.” The presence stayed silent.

Riya raises the showpiece to throw, when the presence immediately caught her arms. She struggled with him and the showpiece fell on the carpet, muffling the sound. Riya struggles with the presence and tries to hit him between the legs. He catches her move, and turns around making the move ineffective. She kicks her legs to make him hit the wall, but he is too strong for her. She continues to struggles, as he said “Shhhh.”Hearing the voice, Riya’s struggles slowly stills. Even after a long time period, she can still recognize the voice anywhere? How could she not?. He whispers “Had hoti hai laparwahi ki Riya. Common sense is to run away from danger, not towards it. You have already done that mistake once Riya Mukherjee.For your entire lifetime, you don’t have the right to make the same mistake again. Samjhe ya Samjhau”. And the tears which were held for so long flowed down her eyes, as she whispers “Arjun Sir.”
