“I’m sorry, Trambak.” Vihang said.

“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.” I lied. “Where’s Priya?” I asked.

“Right next to Kalp…Kalp’s body.” Vihang said.

I went towards her.

“Priya…” I said.

“Trambak.” She was sobbing. She saw me and started to cry more. I hugged her and comforted her.

“He was like a brother to me, Priya. I’m just as much hurt as you are. But please, be strong.” I said. My best friend, Kalp, had died of lung cancer. He didn’t drink, never smoked, drugs is out of the equation. I knew him since a kid, I’ve been through with him his whole life, but I never knew his heart would stop beating young. So young. It was just tragic. I knew what Kalp was capable of, but life never gave him a damn chance. Suddenly I felt hatred for people who smoked and drunk and still lived. Kalp didn’t deserve to die. He never deserved to die this way, this young.

Priya was Kalp’s best friend too. In fact. She was the best friend Kalp ever had. I knew she was hurt too much. I held her and pulled her up, when from her hand, a wooden box fell.

“What’s inside the box, Priya?” I asked.

“See for yourself.” She said.

I picked up and opened the box. What I found were a series of letters…….

------Kalp's letters----

 

0||Uh, Hello?
Hi Priya!
Well, I've decided to start writing you letters again so you never forget about me. So, hello?
My Name is Kalp, you probably know that. My birthday is in a week, I turn 16. Do you know? You are one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen?! We were friends when we were little kids, if you remember. But soon our groups went separate ways and we didn't speak. I saw that you are in my class today. I hope that we talk. And I hope that you know I exist.
Kalp.

 

1|| Hi, okay. Not in a great way!
Hi Priya!
Yes, I shouted at you. Look, I was in depression. This thing is not working, you know, the system. I can't cope up with it. You told me in the class to close the door but I shouted at you so I am terribly sorry. I didn't want to sound mean. But I just want to tell you, you look beautiful. As always.
Kalp.

 

2|| Please, stay away from the asshole.
Hi Priya!
It's good that you have a boyfriend and you love him, but why don't you stay away from that fucker. I mean, he is such a show-off!
He thinks that having a GF is a status quo. Priya, I know it, yours and his won't last many days because he is not someone you need.
You are sweet, you always smile. Beneath that smile, maybe only I know, that there is someone else. I don't love you, I don't even like you. But you are so beautiful. I just wanted to say that if I was your boyfriend, I would take care of you as a princess, not as a status quo.
Kalp.

 

3|| I got fucked. Fucking shit college.
Hi Priya!
Finally, school life is over! I got fucked by the system, as expected.
I will get a shit college, and I know it.
I hope you get wherever you want.
I know you will.
I know these letters will never get to you, but still I just want to say, you are very beautiful.
I won't be able to see your wonderful round face, so I hope you get all the success you aim for.
Kalp.

 

4|| Okay, Maybe we will meet. I was wrong. lol.
Hi Priya!
Wow. I didn't know we would talk.
Chatting with you was fun.
You asked about how was I. I said, I am fine. But I'm not.
The results of what college i get will be out in a couple of days. I know i will get a shit one. There is no one to understand my pain. I am lonely. :-(
You were looking very beautiful in that dp of yours, as always.
Kalp.

 

5|| Okay, I will!
Hi Priya!
Your group was brilliant. And it was very nice meeting you.
I felt awkward.
But you talked with me, I was relieved.
Priya, you looked beautiful in that dress. Loved it.
Thanks for inquiring me about whether I was fine or not.
I was. Meeting you and your friends was wonderful. Thanks. :-)
Kalp.

 

6|| Bestie!
Hi Priya!
I counted. 3 months of our friendship!
Priya, thanks for being my best friend and standing for me.
You know, many people hate me, for my attitude.
It's because they don't understand me. You do :-)
Priya, I think I am falling for you.
You are very beautiful.
Kalp.

 

7|| I love you.
Hi Priya!
Hehe. You said me no.
I knew it. I didn't expect you to tell me yes, either.
But I am glad I told that I love you.
I loved you.
I love you.
I will always love you.
But I won't force you to love me until you want that too.
You are an Angel.
Kalp.

 

8|| YOU KISSED ME!!
Hi Priya!
I couldn't believe it! That was the best birthday gift ever. I never ever, not even in my dreams thought that you would kiss me. Oh my. Priya, My love for you just reached infinity level.
I wish you loved me too.
I hope that kiss will be a positive feeling of love of you for me.
Kalp.

 

9|| .......
Hi Priya!
I wasn't feeling well today. There was a burning sensation in my heart.
It was burning until I fell on the street.
I was taken to hospital. I was not poisoned Priya.

Priya,

I have Cancer.
Lung cancer. There will be further tests.
You are an Angel. I love you.
Kalp.

 

10|| Tests done, confirmed!
Hi Priya!
It is confirmed.
I have Lung cancer.

I never smoked. I never drink. I never did any drugs. Then why me, Priya? Why? What have I done to deserve this terrible thing from fate?

I have 9 months to leave. To die. To go away, forever.
Priya, I love you.
Priya, I wanted to cuddle you, hug you, kiss you, make you fall asleep in my arms, marry you, have children with you, naming a boy Kalp Part 2 and Priya Part 2. I love you Priya. I don't want to die.
You have saved me in many situations before.
Save me Priya.
I don't want to die.
Kalp.

 

11|| I fucking hate cancer.
Hi Priya!
They are acting with me as if I am a 11 year old kid. I hate chemo.
I am weak.
I am numb. I feel headache every day.
I hate taking 55 pills everyday.
But chatting with you lights me up. That's why i love you, Priya.
Kalp.

 

12|| Why not me?
Hi Priya!
Why Priya? Why the new boyfriend? Why not me? I never told anyone except my parents that I had cancer.
What is wrong with me Priya?
We understand each other so well, we help each other, then why not me? I loved you Priya, I still do. I can be the best boyfriend ever. Then Why not me Priya? :'-( :-'( :-( :-(
Kalp.

 

13|| My new Hairstyle.
Hi Priya!
I told you all that bald is my new hairstyle. It is not. I am losing hair. They are falling like a waterfall.
I hate myself Priya. I don't want to go bald.
Kalp.

 

14|| I can't bear it.
Hi Priya!
I can't bear it anymore, it is painful. I can't even move. I can just type. I can use only small amount of my brain.
It is hurting Priya.
I don't smoke. I don't drink, i still have cancer.
What wrong have i done, Priya? I can't have you. I have Cancer. Without any reason.
Priya, it's hurting. I'm feeling like someone stabbing me everyday. Nice talking to you on the phone, by the way. After you hung up, the pain started. Cuddle me Priya. I need you. I want you. I love you. Save me. I don't want to die. I don't want to leave you.

 

15|| Maybe.. I have to go..
Hi Priya!
I have around 15 days to go. I just want to tell you few things..

0. You are beautiful.
1. Thanks for all the memories.
2. Thanks being with me when nobody wanted to.
3. Thanks for taking care of me.
4. Please don't forget me when I die.
5. Please, choose your boyfriend, not how he looks, but how his heart looks.
6. I hope you achieve everything in your career path.
7. Even after I die, I will remember you.
8. I love you.
9. I love you.
10. I love you. I love you. I love you.
Kalp.

-----End of Kalp's Letters-------


Priya was crying terribly. I tried to confront her but I let her cry. I was equally painful like Priya is. He was like a brother to me. Knowing how much Kalp loved Priya, I had nothing to say anymore. He always used to talk about Priya, about how they fought, about how they talked at 3 A.M., about how he was forced to smile by Priya. Everything he said, every moment he spent with me and Priya, was just a mere memory now.
"Trambak.."
"Yes, Priya?"
"Kalp still loves me, right?" She asked, sobbing.
"I bet he does." I said.
"He is watching over me, right?"
"He is Priya, he is."
"Can you do one thing for me?" Priya asked.
"Of course. Tell me."
"Can you please give me the WhatsApp number he has up there? I want to chat....."

THE END
