Jeet smiled thinking of them..
Rashmi and Chanchal..
His Queen and Angel..
The women in his life..
The exceptions to the general rule.
Jeet lost his v*rginity in his early teens when his hormones became too out of control. He never had any relationship. It was repetitive and boring. As he grew he was an expert in bedroom NOTHING NEW.. as he was an expert at almost everything.
All the men his his friend circle enjoyed women and never had any qualms about it. They were single and young.
Until Dev and Adhiraj gave them the final ultimatum while they were both 28.
" Marry and settle down both of you. You are not getting any younger. And we need heirs".
" We are still young', argued Sumeet.
" And we can reproduce well until 50. So there is no hurry", said Jeet.
" Yeah can you change nappies at 50", asked Dev. " And heavens save Adhi if you bore a child like yourself. We all can only pray for her family genes".
" Ohh it won't have any affect. The devil will get his spawn", drawled Zeeshaan.
" At least he will reproduce. What about you", asked Senior Qureshi.
" Sure get me a female for it. No need to tie me down. Science says", Zeeshu was speaking.
" Shut your mouth right away if you don't want him to cut your tongue", warned his elder brother.
Zeeshu wisely shut up.
Finally both the men were coerced into meeting the girls.
Rashmi Sharma, was the only daughter of media moghul Chandraprakash Sharma.
" Meet her Sumeet. She is perfect for you", said Dev.
" Kapoors are a big family. They have 9 daughters", said Adhi. " Go and choose. Anyone you choose is yours".
And Jeet came up with a perfect plan of rejection
" Let's exchange places. If Rashmi is perfect for you I meet her and act as a douchebag. Rejection. Similarly go and meet the kapoor girls. Make them feel like stupid. Win win.... "
Bur God has other plans...
One look at Rash and for the first time in his life Jeet's interest stirred up.
And she hated him on sight..
" I don't want to get married Niether to you nor to anyone else", she said.
And that rejection was a challenge. Jeet never backed down from one. Neither did Rash. He went with his guns blazing. She fought him on every step.
But he won her over. They were married within an year.
AND HE NEVER REALZED HE HAD A GLIMPSE OF HIS FUTURE THEN.....
One wrong choice and Sumeet paid with his life.
Present
" He should have chosen Chanchal ", said Adhiraj. That girl is a gem. So down to earth. So lovely. So kind . A beautiful rose. "
" He was flashed by that witch", said Zeeshu. " No one noticed the silent, strong and stubborn Ms. Chanchal Kapoor".
" No one but the devil", said a jealous Shaun.
Jeet smirked.
" I have a good taste in women", he winked.
" Stubborn", he raised a brow to Zeeshu.
" The way she refuses to forgive any one of us", said Zeeshan. " She is quiet but her silence and those eyes hold us guilty. She wants answers for her misery. And sadly we have none".
" The ice is thawing. Have trust in her", said Shaun. " We may be sinners but she is the salvation".
" Guess the good doctor is in love", smirked Jeet.
" DON'T PLAY ANY MORE GAMES WITH HER", Adhiraj's voice rose. " And she likes Rashmi. Its your mess of tackling them both. Rash makes her laugh".
" She really is the girl that brings happiness. Again he knew that in first meeting. Instincts", said Zeeshu.
" Yes you do have strong instincts ", said Dev. " You warned him against Sheetal".
" We all dId", said Guru as sadness once again dominated the room.
But it did not stop Jeet in thinking about her..
Chanchal Kapoor
The beauty that gripped his heart with emotions. While he was never bored with Rash; her ever active brain and ongoing nature a call for his hunting instincts and adrenaline rush Chanchal was the soothing sweet water that calmed him down.
For a person suffering Alexithemia and who could not feel anything he felt her every emotion.
" Please don't leave me"....
These words were like a call to his protective instincts; a kind of ownership he felt with her. Jeet was a strong feminist. He believed in female strength and intellect and it was rooted deep in his being unlike the current superficial feminism scenario. He never shied away in accepting Rash's intellect over his and believed she was as strong and cunning as many men put together and even himself.
BUT CHANCHAL WAS A DIFFERENT STORY.
She was strong no doubt it takes an iron heart to survive what she has. When he realised how pathetic her life was he became her champion shielding her from this cruel world. Inspite of himself being deeply in love with Rash he fell for her...
And unlike others he accepted it.
You can never put boundaries on love.
IT ENTERS EVERYWHERE.
" Rashmi and Chanchal are strong women", he said to everyone. " Currently they have suffered setbacks in their lives. It happens. But I refuse to let them wallow in sadness. We have tried everything with them but unless they get the correct motivation they will never cime out of their miseries. Remember only they have the power to do it".
" And what do you want us to do", asked Guru. " Last thing I want is anyone hurting Rash.
" You know her Walia. She is my tigress. She will bounce back and be the strong girl I met three years ago. That is what she always must be", said Jeet proudly.
" And Chanchal", asked Shaun.
" Don't be fooled by her kindness Josef. She is as strong as Rash. I hurt her Qureshi I know that ", said Jeet. " But those answers she want she need to find those herself. And if she searches..AND SHE WILL I PROMISE..then happiness is not far away."
' Ever thought what happens if they find the truth", said Guru.
" Yes", he said. " But I have no clue what I will do except that I WILL SACRIFICE MYSELF FOR THEM".
Everyone in the room stared at Jeet completely stunned by his confession.
He has emotions..
But he needs the pull to express them..
The women in his life are the foundation, construction and epitome of his feelings and emotional quotient.
They begin and end with them....
