Someone's true story


WHY??? A LOVE STORY


15th January 2006, it was very cold. I woke up in the early morning and went for jogging. There were nobody on the street. Suddenly i heard somebody calling me from my back. He was my childhood friend Deepak. Deepak and I were good friends from nursery. We usually share our secrets with one another and also invite one another at each and every occasion. That morning he was forcing me to come to his college day. I never said him no... that day also i did the same thing, promised him that i will be there.
Next day around 1:00 pm Deepak came to my home with his old YAMAHA RX-100 to pick me up for the college day function. Though i was not a student of his college,still most of them there were my friend. After spending a few hours with them suddenly my eyes fall on a beautiful girl, wearing pink salwar kameez and she was looking like a princess of those childhood fairy tales. Before i was about to ask my friend who is she? she disappeared. I felt i was dreaming, but actually that night she took away my dream. 
Next day again i went to Deepak's college to hire a book from one of his friend, actually it was an excuse.. my eyes were only searching that girl for whom i couldn't sleep last night. All the day i was the college but i couldn't find her. I was depressed. For a moment it felt like i have everything in life... Like this a week went away... then a month in search of that face.
After one month i almost decided not to waste my valuable time thinking about that dream girl. Let it be a dream, forget her and concentrate on studies. But it was not the destiny.The very next day I met her at the Railway station. I was shocked!!!!!! speechless!!!!!!! and lot of question was going around my mind. I slowly slowly came near her.. and asked her quietly "are you a student of xavier's??". she took some time and tried to recognize me. Then she replied yes. And asked me " how did you know that????". Like this the conversation started. At that very moment i was trying to be more decent than i was at that time. Her train was about to come after 15 minutes. I asked her where are you going?? She was going to Belmuri an hour of journey from that station. I told her i am also going to that place though i was not going there, but still...... you know why? That time I was not in a mood to waste a single second without her. And somehow I managed to know her name and phone number using my old convincing tricks. That day was the very memorable. I was in cloud number 9. It was very romantic. It all started like that...
We became good friends within a month and we started to share our each and every deeds and misdeeds.We also had a few dates at some of the good places of our city. One day I proposed her. There was a lot of questions going on my mind before i did this, but still i thought it is right time to propose her. She acted like she was surprised, though she knew that i like her. Taking some time she replied she need some more time to answer. I don't know in what sense these three words become a question to every girl? After that I never irritated her asking the same question again and again.
That night it was raining badly, suddenly my phone rang.. it was she. I was really afraid to hear the reply from her.  She asked me "Do you seriously love me?" i don't know why girls ask this type of questions!!! I replied "yes i do". She started crying and said "then promise me that you will never ever leave me alone". I told " i promise you i will never leave you".Still now i didn't discovered why she told all that so dramatically.Anyway that night was great. I was very much proud of myself....yeah... I got the girl whom i wanted so badly... She was my dream.  That moment was priceless!!!!!!!!
It was all going well in our relationship. And I also started concentrating on my Engineering Entrance Exams along with my my love.But these two things can't walk parallel. The one side you focus the other side you lose. I decided better to lose the exam than my lovely girl friend. I failed to score good rank in that exam. My family was very much upset. I too was upset but she was the reason who always bring smile on my face.  
After a week my Dad decided  to sent me to Bangalore. I was very happy with my dad's decision, but she was not- as i was going away from her. She tried to convince me to not to go to Bangalore It took nearly a week to make her understand that I am not leaving her, I am just going away for some time. Anyway she understood that its my parents dream and i need to bring this to reality. While coming I promised her that i will never break her heart.
I came to Bangalore.Took admission in one of the reputed Engineering college. I used to call her everyday and sometimes she also did call me.  It was all going well as i always wanted to be. It never felt like we are apart from each other. Our love became stronger day by day. 
Still i remember that day,26 December 2007 it was my birthday. I was celebrating with my friends in Bangalore. Everybody was wishing me Happy Birthday from different parts of the country. But she didn't call me the whole day. I tried to call her but her cell was switched off. It was around  9 PM one of my school friend called me and told that she got married. And that too with one of her classmate.I broke down to tears.. There were no reaction on my face... Ohhhhh god is this my birthday treat??????? It took around two months to become normal. But still I don't know why she did it to me? I always ask this question to myself.why ? Still in search of that only reason or excuse.why???? I still remember those good old memories..but I don't know why??? In her sweet memories i will always be writing.....why??why?? why????????? still i get her reply.

A nice and true story from Chetan Bhagat....

****************************************************************
Neha opened her mail box and saw a new mail from new person

Hi Neha,

I see you every night sitting in the office till very late. Don’t you
have friends? Don’t you feel like talking to your roommate?
You should not sit very late in the office, this is a genuine advice from
me.

Thanks,

Rahul Mehra

After reading the mail, Neha was very angry on the sender. She simply
deleted the mail and said to herself “who is he to give me any
advice”. She again got back to her work.

After that night, every night Rahul would keep sending her mails and
Neha would simply delete them without even reading the content of the
mail. But one fine night the subject line attracted her and she had to
open the mail.

The subject line of the mail was “Hi Gorgeous”.

Hi Gorgeous,

Yes today you are looking very gorgeous in this red saree.
I know you don’t read my mails as you don’t like the advices I give you.

So today I won't give you any advice, I will just say that I am love with
you.
You know you are very beautiful and if you take care of yourself many
men will fall in love with you.

I am sure someday you will also fall in love with me. And then we will
go out for a date.

Oh before I end the mail I must tell you that the best thing about is
that smile. Or is it those intense which needs some sleep at the
moment.

Take care dear.
Love you.

Rahul Mehra.

After reading the mail she was shocked. A person she had never met,
never seen, never spoke to was saying that he was in love with her.
She started thinking was this always in his mind. How did he get her
id? Where had he seen her? Many questions like this came in her mind.
Finally she thought of giving a warning and replied to his mail.

Hi Rahul,

I don’t want to spoil your career but if you don’t stop sending me
mails I will raise an ASHI against you.

Thanks and Regards,

Neha Jain

After this mail, the mails from Rahul stopped coming in Neha’s inbox.
She thought that finally Rahul has got scared and won't be mailing her
again.

After several nights, Neha was resting on her chair and her eyes
closed. When she opened her eyes she saw Rahul’s mail in her mailbox.

Hi Gorgeous,

With your closed eyes you were dreaming about me, right? Oh sorry for
not sending any mails in the last few days.
I was a little busy. I am sure you would have missed me a lot.

One more thing before I forget I want to say that I am not scared of
ASHI. An ASHI can't be a reason to stop loving you.

Love you.

Rahul Mehra

Neha was twisting her hair and putting them behind her ears. At that
moment itself another mail came from Rahul,

Hi Gorgeous,

Now stop playing with your hair and leave the office, it is very late.

Love.

Rahul Mehra

Neha was shocked as to how did this person know what she was doing on
her desk. She got up to check whether anyone was there in her floor
but could find only empty cubicles. She thought maybe he made a wild
guess and decided to leave the office before leaving she saw another
mail from Rahul.

Hi Neha,

Searching for me??? You have started falling in love with me. J

Love you.

Rahul Mehra

Neha was shocked and scared to hell. She simply switched off her
machine and ran outside the office. In the next few days she would not
open any mails sent by Rahul. One night a mail with subject line
“Don’t be scared of me” came to her mailbox. First she thought to
ignore the mail then she thought let's see what has Rahul written this
time.

Hi Neha,

Don’t be scared of me. I can say that you are scared of me because of
the way you ran out from the office the last time you read my mail.
I know few minutes back you had gone to have coffee. You are thinking
how I know this because I can feel you around me.
Only once you also start feeling me you will know that I am near to you.
Very near. Just sitting next to you.
I will wait for the night when you start having the same feelings for me.
Will always love you.

Rahul Mehra

Now Neha started thinking was Rahul really in love with her? What he
was saying was it true? But how could he know so much about her? How
could he say what she was doing and what not? Neha thought let's give
a try and see whether Rahul is always in love with her or not. From
that night she also started replying to his mail.

Hi Neha,

Do you feel bad if I call you gorgeous?

Love you.

Rahul Mehra

Neha’s reply:

Yes Rahul. I don’t like this word.

You can address me as Neha, isn’t it short and simple. And I love my name a
lot.

Thanks and Regards,

Neha Jain

Rahul’s reply:

Point noted Neha. But when I am happy, excited I would call you with
some special name at that time.
Tomorrow you have your certification so all the best for that.

Love you.

Rahul Mehra

Neha was again shocked as to how does he know about her certification.
She had never told him. She replied Rahul,

Who is the person who is giving you details about me? I had not told
you about my certification how do you know it?

Thanks and regards,

Neha Jain

Rahul replied back to her

I know it because I am in front of you. Can't you see me? Can't you
feel me close to you?
I also know that after 3 days you have your appraisal. Now this you
have not told anyone. Just your PM knows about it. Do you think your
PM will give me all these details?

Love you.

Rahul Mehra

Neha not sure of the answer. She knew her PM would not have told Rahul
all this but how did Rahul know so much about her was a mystery for
her. Finally she thought she will talk to her PM, Rohan.

Next day, she went to her PM’s desk.

“Hi Rohan. I wanted to ask you something”.
Rohan:- “Sure Neha. Are having any issues?”
Neha:- “No. actually I wanted to know about a person named Rahul Mehra.”
Rohan was shocked on hearing that name.
Rohan:- “How did you come across this name. Has anyone told you about him?”
Neha:- “No one has said anything to me about him. Few days back he
started sending me e-mails. First I ignored but then he would give
such details which I did just few minutes back. He even knows my
appraisal date.”
Rohan:- “Are you sure you got mails from Rahul Mehra only?”
Neha:- “Yes very much. But why do you look shocked?”
Rohan:- “Because Rahul Mehra died 2 years back. He use to sit at the
same place where you are sitting. How can a dead person send mails to
you.”
Neha was shocked. She didn’t know how to react to this.
Rohan:- “If you don’t believe me then you can try finding his name in
the telephone directory. Maybe someone told you about him and because
of work stress you started imagining that he is sending you mails.”
Neha:- “I am not imagining anything. He has really send me a mail. I
can show you in my mailbox.”
Rohan:- “Okay Neha I believe you but still I think you should take a
break and go home.”

Neha was still in shock with the news she got from Rohan. She just did
a search on telephone directory for a name with Rahul Mehra and page
returned no records. She again checked the mail id and employee number
details. She did a search many times that day by putting various
combinations but the search page displayed the same message “No
matches found for the given search criteria”. She could not believe
that someone could hack the system and send mails to her from an
non-existing id. She attached the mails sent by Rahul and sent it to
Rohan as a proof that she was not dreaming.

On seeing the attached mails even Rohan was in shock. He came to Neha’s
desk.

Rohan:- “I think by mistake his id has not been deleted and someone
who knows about it is playing with it.”
Neha:- “But I checked the details on telephone directory there are no
records available for this id.”
Rohan:- “Talk to the CCD people and see what they have to say.”

She called up the CCD people. They took control over her system and
looked at the mail sent by Rahul Mehra. The mail was sent from the
same computer which Neha was using. The time stamp at which the mails
were sent Neha had logged in. Also there was no evidence that a remote
desktop connection was made or mail was sent through web mail. Even
the CCD people were clueless as to how a mail has been sent from a
non-existing id and from Neha’s system itself.

There were no viruses or torjans or any other kind of threats on
Neha’s system. Her anti-virus was up to date. The whole day was gone
in finding a loophole as to how did Neha get such a mail in her
mailbox. Neha was tierd from the day’s happening and so she decided to
leave early from the office that day.

The next day when Neha came back, she saw a mail from Rahul Mehra. She
didn’t know whether she should delete that mail or read that mail. She
was scared to open the mail. Somehow she gained some courage and
opened the mail. The context of the mail was:-

Hi Neha,

Good to see that you left the office early tonight. I know Rohan told
you about my death. I was also a workaholic like you. I would sit late
in the office, even when no one was around me.
I just being at office. I had no friends, no social life. Even on
weekends I would use to come to office.

I missed all the fun in my life. Even my death happened at office
while I was working. My dead body was found by the house keeping guy
and the security guard at the reception. I took a lot of work stress
which my conscious mind could not bear that day. I ignored all the
health problems I was having. And finally on that night (20. 10. 07,
11:24 PM) all these reasons became responsible for my death.

Now you know why I am not scared of ASHI.

But yes if I was alive then also I won't be scared of ASHI because I
have really fallen in love with you but we can't be together until
your death.

Now the choice is yours whether you will kill yourself on your own or
whether I need to do the honors.

Waiting for your death. Love you always.

Rahul Mehra
