Devil And Angel Together

They have shifted to this colony today only. But there is more chaos in the house at the front than this house. Rajat is shouting with anger, "How people of this community dared to settle in our colony! Only the people of our community can live here." His father and everybody else in the home give gestures of agreeing with him. Everybody is angry, in the family. Father says, "I willl take help from higher authorities after all I am the reputed minister of my party, I have approach upto highest superiors." There is a great pride in his voice. But one person is a little mature in there house. He says, "But they owned this place before we all came here, many years ago and now they have settled here without thinking about the area around them." But all of the family members jump over him by their harsh comments. So he decides to better be quite than proving his point. Now Rajat, Amit and Vishal take the guns and rush upstairs. At the roof, they point the gun towards the house and shout ghastly "Whoever you are come out!" People of that house come out to see what's going on there? But as soon as they see the guns pointing towards them, they shout with fear and start hiding here and there to protect themselves. Meanwhile Rajat's father, Ranveer, run towards them and shouts, "No my boys you can't do that, drop the guns and come to me." Rajat shouts, "No papa, how can they dare to come here!" Ranveer pats them and says, "No my boy, it's not the way to talk to anybody. Let's go down and talk peacefully and then we will decide what to do." Rajat asks, "But papa you always say they people are not worth talking, instead they should be vanished from this world." Ranveer says, "This topic must not be discussed here, come my baby. You will not listen to your papa! Let's go down then we will do something about it. But for now please drop the gun." Rajat admires his father , so he drops the gun and all of them go down stairs. Ranveer says, "Sit near to me my boy. You know who they are! I have enquired from my strong sources, this is a very reputed family, we can't harm even a nail of them. You know main person of this family is a commissioner and many of their relatives are either big business owners or highly posted government officials." Rajat surprisingly replies, "But papa this information does not change the fact that they are our enemy." Ranveer replies, "Yes, my boy but in some exceptional cases we have to change our rules and compromise with them. " Rajat with a little anger asks, "So you mean to say that behave with people according to their reputation. Now where are those great quotes of yours, 'These people are dangerous, we have to protect ourselves from them, otherwise they will ruin us. So we have to crush them out of our way.' These verdicts are just for poor and pitty people not for these people! They must be more dangerous to us." Then he thinks in his mind, "I never knew before that my papa is so double standard." But he keeps silent. Then without replying to Rajat's query Ranveer pats him and says, "Come my boy and say sorry to them." Rajat asks angrily, "Why say sorry!" Ranveer with a little fear replies, "If they will file case against us then it will affect my reputation in my party and so my political career. So please come with me I beg of you." Rajat has seen his father in this position for the first time otherwise whenever he did such deed for him, he always applauded him. He is startled from deep inside by this behaviour of his father. But he loves and respect him so much that he is ready to go and say sorry to them. 

The matter is sorted now. Everything is settled. But a storm of thoughts has been running inside Rajat for many days. He is feeling very uneasy subconsciously. Before this incident he was very sorted in his life; what to do now and next. He followed his father blindly. But now he is very confused and messed up, can't understand what to do next. He is whole blank now. 

Today he is feeling suffocated inside. So, to get rid off these feelings, he goes to the roof to get some fresh air. He is seeing here and there. Suddenly his eyes get stuck towards the house of those enemies, a very pretty, cute and fair looking girl is standing at the roof of that house in front of him, covered herself fully with a dupatta. Only her face can be seen. But her face is so delicate and beautiful, it seems that if somebody just touch her face then his finger prints will be printed on her face and it will get untidy. There is so satisfaction in her face as if she has no worries in her life. This attitude of hers is giving positivity to him subconsciously. Her eyes are as naive as a new born baby's eyes and pupils are as shiny as a beautiful and pure lake. She has a pretty smile on her face. Rajat is starring at her for so long but she hasn't noticed him as she is lost in her own world. Then she turns back, so now he can't see her face. He is feeling uneasy, wants to see her again and again. There's a beautiful pond behind her home. Seeing that she starts talking to herself by saying, "Thank you God for giving this lovely nature; this fresh air in which I can breathe easily and can live a healthy life, this beautiful pond, these plants, the sun, the never ending sky. These all friends of mine make me the happiest person of this world. They always motivate me whenever I feel low, they energize me whenever I feel week. When I get tired of this fake world, I meet them and all stress gets vanished and these all friends are always available for me just because of thy. So always embrace me with thy love and support, never leave me alone. Again thank you so much for every gift you have given me so far." Listening to this Rajat is stood still, he is stunned as he had never heard these kind of words around him so far. He has only heard about materialistic things, society, hatred, how people back stab each other and make life worst, how a small problem is forcefully converted into a big issue. For any complication, which is by the way created by the man himself, God is always blamed. They always wait for a miracle to occur. First time he has seen somebody thanking God. Now he also looks around the nature in the same way as the girl and he is amazed by the beauty of nature and is thinking that yes if he is alive on this earth, it's just because of this favourable nature and to be alive freely and healthily, without any harm, is in itself the biggest miracle of God! Next day, he again come upwards at the same time to see if she has come. Yes she is there. Now he comes up daily just to see her, hiding himself behind the wall and feels alive and refreshed. His worries and anger are always vanished after seeing her and he goes back with lots hope and courage. Everybody is surprised with the drastic change in his behaviour, specially his father; Ranveer, as he exploits his anger for progress in his political career. His plan is to use Rajat's anger to fulfill his goals and then shift him abroad to which Rajat is unaware of. But now Rajat has his own plan in his life. 

Rajat again goes to Zartasha's father and says, "Uncle that day I came here to say sorry to you just for my dad. But now I am feeling bad about that incident from the bottom of my heart. So today I myself has come to say sorry to you. I thought over my misbehaviour for so many days and I realised how harsh I was on you that day. So I collected all my courage and come to you to say that. So again please pardon me." Zartasha's father Iqbal says, "No my boy, no need to say sorry again and again. You said it I accepted it. In our job, we easily recognise that who is a lier and who is real in his words. So don't worry, I had forgiven you at the first time. But, I suggest you to never behave like this to anybody else. Always control your anger, you will lead a better life." Rajat replies, "Yes, uncle, mark my words, from now you will never see such a misdeed from my side." Iqbal pats him with love and go away. Now Rajat and Iqbal are very good friends. Whenever Rajat meets him, he greet him and help him in his chores. Now he has gained his full trust. He always tells to everybody, "This boy has really won my heart, when I saw him first time he was a bomb filled with fire and now see how he has completely changed himself as a happy go lucky boy. Now he respects everybody." Now his target to impress Zartasha's father is done. His next step is to ask for marrying his lovely daughter which he knows very well, is the real challenge for him. 

Rajat is chasing Zartasha. She understands that and walks fastly with fear. Rajat yells, "Zartasha, I want to talk to you." She walks more fastly. But Rajat runs and stands before her. Zartasha, seeing down fearfully, says, "Please leave my way, let me go." Rajat says, "Don't panic. I don't want to tease you. I just want to tell something to you. I am your neighbour, Rajat. I have no bad intention about you. Just listen to me. If you will feel uneasy then walk away." She moves her head up and first time sees him. Whome she sees is a tall, handsome, dashing, good looking guy standing before her. He asks, "Why are you not coming upwards now a days." She asks angrily, "Is that you want to ask! Please leave my way. Let me go! And by the way how do you know I go up daily. That means you had an eye over me for so many days!" He says with pain in his voice, "No! That's not I meant to say. You are taking me wrongly. Actually when I saw you, for the first time ther, you were thanking God for everything you have got from him, which gave me so much peace from inside. I was stunned that day after listening each and every word from your side. Those words were echoing in my mind for the whole day as I had never heard these kind of things from anybody else's mouth. Before that I had always heard people complaining God for all their worries. I was also one of them. I used to be an angry guy who was always tensed for some rubbish matters. But that day you opened my eyes, for th first time I saw the nature; it is so beautiful and healing. My thought process got completely changed from that day and from then I daily came up to see you and listen to your holy words and now I am a completely sorted person. I never get angry very easily. Now I am a happy go lucky guy. But you have not been coming for some days. So I was worried about you and feeling very uneasy from inside, for not listening to your thoughts. Actually I have got addicted to those words." Rajat says this all in one breathe as if his train is going to be left. Zartasha is stunned after listening all this, her eyes are widely opened. After thinking for sometime she says with innocence and surprising expression on her pretty, cute face, "You listens the whole I say daily! But I don't tell it to anybody as all of them find it funny. You didn't feel it funny! But got inspired by it! You are the only another one person who liked my thinking. Actually I get tired of this fake world of people. So, to take a break from the overloaded day, I come at the the roof to talk to myself and feel God's nature. After this, I feel so light and refreshing and then I go back." Rajat replies, "I feel the same after listening to you. But I really want to know why aren't you coming now a days. Is there any problem? May be I can help you out." Zartasha sees in his eyes, she is sure, they are not lying. Now she trusts him. She says, "No, you can't. But I will tell you everything as I want to feel light from inside by sharing my emotions with you. So, mmm.. From where should I start. OK let me prepare firstly to tell you." Then she thinks for a while and starts, "So, actually I have, my phupi's son" Rajat interrupts her and asks, "Who? Phupi! What's this word meant for." Zartasha says, "Sorry, I didn't know that you don't know who's phupi. Phupi is the sister of ones father, so listen quitely, please, otherwise I'll not be able to explain you, it's very complicated. So, there's a son,of my phupi whose name is Zain, who came from America after completing his studies. He often came to our home and always stared at me from far away, I felt uneasy, sometimes he also talked to me and I replied politely, never gave him any sign of interest towards him. And one day he did a big blunder, he came to my room and directly said that he liked me and wanted to marry me. I got startled and without thinking anything I started scolding him, "How can you come to my room all of a sudden and directly ask for marriage! These decisions are made by elder people! How dare you to come here and do this misbehavior with me!" Meanwhile papa crossed by my room, he heard everything and he insulted him so much that I myself felt pitty for him and he said, "Never come across the way of my daughter and maintain a distance of 5 feet from her." He didn't say to not to come home as he is his younger sister's son who

m he loves a lot. And also didn't tell it to her as he didn't want to panic her. After that he came our home but never came to my way and instead he made a distance from me and never saw me again. He was coming to my home often but his attitude was completely changed towards me. Then this notion came to my mind that he obeyed my papa so strictly, that means he respected my father's decision and was not so bad as I had thought of him. From then I started finding the reason behind that act of him. Then from his younger sister I got to know that as he was living in America for so long and there, decisions for relationships are firstly made by couples and then it's told to the parents. So he just wanted to know my feelings towards him as he knew here in our culture parents don't ask to girls and finalize their relation. But actually it doesn't happen in our home. Girls are asked by elders for their will to marry or not, that he didn't know. And he was unaware of here's culture that a guy can't propose a girl directly. But basically I found him a nice guy as he asked for marriage very decently. Otherwise after coming from so advanced country he could just think to hang out with me and leave me. But he had not left his roots and proposed for marriage which in my opinion represents him as a decent person. But for asking about marriage, he liked that western culture and that became his misfortune. So I felt so bad for him and took his number and said sorry to him. From then we started talking to each other on phone and I found that he was completely like me. He also believed in God and his nature as much as I. And his thinking was completely like me. And now I also want to marry him.Who had thought that a guy whom I scolded so much, today the same guy is so close to my heart. He is the first person who listen to me carefully and appreciates me. And I am completely sure that he is not pretending to be like me, he is the one who feels me, understands me and above all takes care of me. But after that incident we both have no courage to tell it to papa, he is very strict towards his words, what he decides is milestone for everyone in our home. So we both are in dilemma, what to do? How to ask him just for marriage and how shall we be together, whether it will be possible or not and above all we both can't marry anybody else. This is the reason of my pain. I am screwed now." Very precious shiny pearls are coming out from a pure sea and flowing on world's most pretty flower. Rajat's heart is broken, but he controls his emotions, gather himself and somehow manage to say with a positive and concerned smile on his face, "Why are you crying! You are losing hope! A girl who has so much faith in God is saying that. You must be surely known of it that when God has grown this love between both of you then he will also make the way ahead for you to be together. Both of your feelings towards each other are as pure as holy water then why you have a doubt. Your love was God's will, So he will also help you to unite. Just do what you have always done, believe wholly in God, and leave everything on him, he is with both of you. So forget your worries and be happy, he will not leave his pure believers. After all he is the biggest; far bigger than your father." As soon as she listen to his words, her face starts glowing like always, like a fresh flower's petals. She said with joy, "Oh, you are right! Why am I worrying so much, God will truly make any way to unite us! I will pray from my heart for our marriage and God will make it done. Oh you are so nice person! Thanks for boosting me and giving me hope. I will never forget it. And whenever you want any favour from me, please feel free to ask. Anyways I am getting late, have to reach on time. So bye. And never forget to ask for any help." She is gone but he goes on seeing her continuously until she gets vanished away. Perhaps this is the last time he is seeing her with these looks. As soon as she is gone away from his sight, flood of tears come out of his eyes. They are flowing vigorously, he wants to stop them but is helpless. Sometimes, some expressions can't be controlled by you, they occur by themselves, this is the truth of life. Rajat reaches home, rushes into his room and lock from inside. Everybody is thinking what has happened to him. But then don't care about it. He cries a lot and throws everything here and there out of pain and anger. Again he has changed into an angry guy.

Rajat calls from behind, "Zain, Zain!" Zain looks behind and asks, "Yes!" Rajat replies, "Actually you don't know me. I live hear, near by. I often see you coming here." Zain smiles and says, "Okay! So you are the neighbour! But how do you know me and by the way what's your name." Rajat replies, "I am Rajat and I often see you coming here and seems to be a nice to me. I also comes here and have heard about you many times. So I know you." They often use to meet each other and soon Rajat becomes a close friend of Zain. One day Rajat asks, "So, do you have a girlfriend?" Zain replies, "Girlfriend! No, not at all! How did you think so!" Rajat says, "As you are America returned and looks very frank. So, just thought that." Zain laughs and says, "Do, you think all America returned guys have a girlfriend. It's not true. Anyone can have a girlfriend whether he is America returned or not and anyone may not have a girlfriend, it's his wish. These are all myths, just ignore it. Rajat replies with a smile, "Okay, but don't you have even a single girl in your heart?" As soon as Zain listens this, his heart fills with unbearable pain and he tells him the whole bizarre story of his and Zartasha's love and then the conversation ends here. 

Today Zain has taken his new friend to his home. Zain says, "Salamalaikum, dad, meet my dear friend Rajat." Zain's dad say merrily, "Oh, so you are Rajat. Zain often talks about you. Good to see you here." Then Rajat spends much time in their home.

Now Rajat is also a very good friend of Zain's father. Rajat comes to Zain's home. Zain's dad says, "Oh, hello Rajat. How are you!" Rajat replies, "I am fine uncle." "Zain, is out of town. Any ways come in, my boy." Says Zain's father. He comes in and they talk for sometime. He tells him there's a marriage of his cousin, so he will also go out of town for some days. "So you will also not be here for some days. Talking about marriage, when are you marrying my boy? After all you comes to be a very nice, handsome and intellectual guy, all qualities together in one package, hmm!" Says, Zain's father patting his thigh with affection. Rajat smiles with shy and replies, "I haven't thought about it yet, I have left it over my family. But tell me uncle, when Zain is going to married, after all he is better than me." Zain's father laughs and says, "Now, you are trapping me in my own words. So, he also, in some way, thinks like you about this matter." "If you give me permission then may I suggest you a girl, she will be a perfect match for Zain." Says Rajat. Zain's father says, "Sure! Why not! After all you are his true friend, you will never give any wrong advise!" Rajat replies happily, "Okay, then she is your brother in law's daughter, Zartasha. You know, I live near to their home and I share very good vibes with Iqbal uncle. He is a very nice person. So, I suggest her name to you. Above all you are already relatives and have very good terms with each other." Zain's father with excitement, says, "Oh, yes! Why I never thought about it. She was always there in front of us. She is a very nice girl. Yes, now I am going to discuss about it to my wife. Then we'll talk to them. Thanks my boy for your great suggestion. Now I am compelled to agree that your observation is so keen." He is saying this all with lot of joy. Rajat, replies, "No need to say thanks, uncle. You are like my father. It's really my pleasure to help you out." 

Rajat tells Zartasha's father that Zain is his good friend. "Allas! Why are you in contact with that ill mannered guy. You know what he has done with Zartasha." Says Zartasha's father. Rajat replies, "I know everything, uncle. But he just proposed her for marriage. His intentions were not wrong." Zartashs's father angrily says, "You know that, but then you are saying this all to me. Directly asking for marriage to a girl is in itself very wrong. How can you take his side!" Rajat calmly says, "But uncle, please consider the fact that he had been living in America since he was just 16, he has spent 10 years of his life there. So, he can't understand customs of our country. There, guys and girls have an affair and parents have no problem with that. While he only asked for marriage. He just wanted to know Zartasha's will which is very and by the way I can surely tell you that he is strictly not a guy who will have an affair just for fun. In this matter, he is purely a country boy. And also think about the fact that when you warned him to stay away from Zartasha, didn't he obey it. Then he never came to her way. Why he did that! If he would have any bad intentions, he would do whatever he wanted, with Zartasha. He could tease her anywhere. But did Zartasha ever complained anything to you! See, not all the times life has black and white shades, there can be a different color also. What is wrong for you is normal for him just because of differences in two cultures. Uncle are you understanding what I am saying." Zartasha's father thinks for sometime and says, "I think you are right. It was just a misunderstanding because of culture difference. Now you go, I want to think over it again, alone." And Rajat goes away. 

Today is Zartasha and Zain's marriage. Rajat has a smile on his face and tears in his eyes, both together. Rajat's friend says, "My friend, hats off to you. So drastic change! Angry young man has turned to a big sacrificing guy. How can you let her go, when you love her with whole heart and soul." He replies with those tears, "You know that day when Zartasha told me about Zain, I was fully filled with remorse and was again overwhelmed by my anger. And I wanted to harm myself or Zartasha. But then a Bollywood movie dialogue came to my mind 'Ye jo pretty face tumne mujhe diya hai na mai ise bekaar nahin jaane dungi mai fight back karungi.' So in the same way I thought, 'Ye jo pretty character usne mujhe diya hai na mai oose bekaar nahin jaane dunga, apne aap se fight back karunga.' And that was the actual turning point of my life. And now I am stood in front of you like this." Now there is a pretty smile in his face. 

Zain tells Zartasha, "You know, our marriage became possible just because of a person." Zartasha, busy in her usual chore asks, "Who?" "My dearest friend, Rajat. Do you remember Rajat, your neighbour!" Replies Zain. Zartasha suddenly stops with a shock, thinks for a while and replies, "Who, Ranveer uncle's son. How do you know him?" Zain tells her everything, how they met. How he solved all the problems in the way of their marriage. Listening to this Zartasha says, "I want to tell you something." And then she tells him the whole incident of Rajat and hers. Then she hugs Zain with fear and says, "I didn't reach him, he came to me. Please don't be upset with me!" Zain laughs and says with love, "Oh my dear! How innocent you are, my baby! There's nothing wrong in talking to a guy whom you don't know well. Be easy." Zartasha replies, seeing towards Zain with lots of affection, "Oh my love! How understanding you are, otherwise I got a shivering after listening his name. But one thing I have realised today. Zain asks smiling, "What?" Zartasha replies exchanging the smile, "That Rajat came in our life as God's angel and human being is also a part of nature. Otherwise I always thought that man can only do destruction." Both hug each other with affection. 

Rajat informs his father, "Dad, I am leaving home." Ranveer surprisingly asks, "What! Are you joking?" Rajat replies with decisiveness, "No! I am not joking! I can't bear it at all now. It's too suffocating for me to live here. I am leaving." Dad asks, "But why my child! I love you so much. What makes you to feel suffocated here!" "As if you don't know anything! Now I have completely understood that you have always used me for your selfish intentions. You made me an angry guy, I was never this kind of person. I used to be a normal person like others. I used to love people,make friends and take care of them. But you filled my heart with lots of hatred and anger. Now I am not going to be fooled by you!" Saying that he leaves the place. 

Now Rajat is a free soul. He has started his own little business and happy with his ordinary and simple life and yes, forgot to tell you that he has also married to a girl who is completely like Zartasha.
