3.Her Journal and My Note

It's been 10 years since we first met and for past 8 years I have been waiting for the moment to happen again. Every thing has now been changed weather it's Munna's cafeteria or my ding ding except that one link between me and anami. Clock tower's Bell doesn't ding dong anymore and Munna renovated his cafeteria but left that corner table untouched and reserved. His kind gesture just took our heart away, I had never thought that an ordinary man's ordinary story is going to touch someone's heart but it did. Gholtu and munna's tribute to our story is extraordinary. Not only the table but also "Munna's 5-star cafeteria" is known as "Dada Didi's Table". Last year Munna handed over the keys to Gholtu and from then it's not kapachino anymore because of gholtu's fluency in english and different foreign languages to attract foreigners. I was enjoying my cappachino and she was enjoying her ram pyari. She waved at me and I was lost again.
Anamika- Again you are lost, Adi don't you get bored after all these years.
Me- Nope,this is what keeping me alive.
Anamika- Please Adi find someone and have your own family.
Me- And there you started again you know that how much I hate this topic.
Anamika winked at me saying Ya ya but not more than how much you love me and my tresses. She knew that my love for her is beyond limits.
Me- Don't dare pin this topic again.
Anamika-Okay baba.
Gholtu shouted Dada saat ta bajte chollo. We both laughed after Munna it's Gholtu who keep interrupting and making our conversation interesting. As usual it was 5 minutes to seven  and I was about to leave.
Anamika- Wait (she opened her bag and gave me diary)
Anamika- Adi, keep this.
Me- What's all this.
Anamika- Adi please, just don't ask and by the way you have always had the curiosity to know what's in this.
Me- But Anami I was more interested in anami's special which I used to get every time I asked.
Anamika- Just go and don't worry I will pay the bill.
Me- Okay. I shouted Gholtu "Likhe dis"(note the bill down like always) and we both laughed. I gave her a flying kiss and left with her diary. On my way to bus stop I opened it and I was in utter shock, it was her Journal dated 10 year's back of the same day tears started rolling down my cheeks and falls on the line "I met him today". I closed her Journal sorry it's better to say our journal and started running towards bus stop and baerly missed it like always. I boarded the bus with tearful eyes but now no one ask's me "what happened" not even the bus driver "ki bepar". This ordinary man's ordinary story wasn't ordinary anymore thanks to Munna's tribute to our story. Munna's 5-star became The Taj of our story.
I still remember every time I used to ask her what's in that diary, smilingly she used to place her fingers on my lips and a gentle kiss on her fingers and that was enough to shut me up. After a while I used to ask her willingly just to get anami's special kiss and she knows that but what happened today it's not her fault, I am the reason that hemp's(bhang) fan was not there anymore. I reached home and opened her Journal and my tears started rolling down again. There is something pinned on the other side,I flipped the page over and it was there. "My Note " was there.
I still remember I was in hurry and an old school guy didn't have a phone to share his number and I bet any stupid could have thought better than that. For the first time in my life I was smiling all the way back home forgot to buy myself my good night cigarette and from then never felt the need to buy one until I saw her in pain.
                              "  My Note "
                     Tum achanak aa gayi
                      Yun Nazar ke samne
             Jaise nikal aaya ghata SE Chand
                         Chehre pe julfein
                            Bikhri Hui thi
                                  Aur fir
                      Tum SE baat hogayi
                              - Thanks for the evening

I slept early that night just to reach office early and finish my work before time to get some extra time to explore the city. She was right I was workoholic. When we are attracted to someone our mind creates excuses just like exploring the city basically I wanted to find out where the library was and wanted to see her.
Next day I woke up early and reached office before time trying to hide from the only person who doesn't want me to spend any time extra in plant but he spotted me and called me from his cabin "Ki re aaj eto Tara tari , aidike aaye" ( what's the matter you are too early today come to my cabin)
