"Uncle ek Dairymilk silk dena". Says
A young guy, may be in his early 20's, Fair Tall not so good looking though, But seems like he is always on a smile mode, not so well built but always builts up smile on ppl's face, Wearing a plain grey tshirt and blue jeans, a black side bag on his shoulder coming across. He seems in a hurry but that dosnt spoil his smile.
The shopkeeper asks him "Konsi wali du?"
(Last time plain liya tha. This time il take Orange peel) the boy thinks.
"Ek kaam karo Orange Peel dairymilk silk dena"
The shopkeeper hands him over the silk and the change.
He puts that in his black bag and walks off. In a happy mode as usual.
He is walking in hurry like he dont want to miss out this train or he will lose an amazing journer to travel.
Like theres no range in his phone and he is climbing towers to get in range. Like its his last day of life and theres only one person he can meet.
So he is running. Getting a cab desprately. Abusing the traffic for making him late. shuffeling songs in his music player every second but he is too excited to listen one song for long.
His Taxi halts at a place. May be all his quest is to meet a girl.
No not may be. Yes it is.
The young girl for whom all this excitement is, now stand across the road.
She smiles at him from across the road. For him her smile is like raining in a deadly desert.
She is the most beautiful girl for him, Her hair are tied up like he likes it to be. She'swearing a black kurta a pink duppatta and The necklace he had gifted her. Her smile makes him walk slow.
His eyes gliter like he has finnaly reached his destination from where a new journey begins.
He is crossing the road without looking at the cars. because all his attention is at the girl. The girl laughs at her this stupid behaviour.
A car couldve almost crashed him the driver abuses the guy. But the guys only attention is the girl. He crosses the road like he is walking on a rope pretending its a bridge.
He reaches her. And this time before the girl could say "lets walk we have to go somewhere"
The boy tells her to wait ."Close your eyes and show ur hands ahead. Ive got something for my friend"
She laughs loud and says "What?? I am not doing it.."
The boy insists like a kid and she agrees.
But she too like a little kid peeks from her right eye whats coming through. The boy says no peeking or i wont give you. They both are enjoying the special moment for the time.
When the girl opens her eyes she is the happiest girl on this planet.
She finds an orange peel dairymilk silk in her hand. "Thank you so muchhh" she says with a heartmelting smile.
The boys heart melts and he thinks i got what i wanted her special smile.
Days pass. Months pass.
The girl and the boy keep meeting. They become good friends and then.best friends.
The boy wakes up to make her smile. and wants to see her smile before he sleeps. Everytime They meet. The boy buys a silk for his best friend. And everytime she gives the same smile.
She is happy the same as she were when she got her first choclate. Its not about the choclate basically that makes her happy. The guy never forgets to make her smile the feeling makes her happy.
One day the girl asks him to meet him immidietly. And they both are meeting after a weeks time. so the guys excitememt is on toll. he has not seen his beautiful friend for a week. So the same thing happens. He gets at the station gets into the train. shuffels his songs every 10 seconds. Smiles all the time thinking of her.
And gets down from the train in hurry.
Then he realises. Oh shit I dint a silk for her. so before he catches a cab he rushes back to a shop. Runs crazy coz he wants to meet her soon.
"Bhai sahab. ek dairymilk silk dena"
He puts his hand in his back pocket..
And tells the shopkeeper to wait.
Theres no wallet there.
He searches all his pockets but its not there. He searches bis bag.. but its not there. He is sure. He lost his wallet on his way.
His face drops like a kid who lost all toys. Like he has lost everything. A tear rolls out of his eye. not because he lost his money. Because he cannot get anything for her now.
Sorrow pins through his heart with such small thought.
Then just while walking back putting hands in his pocket he realises there is a 5 rs coin.
He smiles wide.
Runs to the shopkeeper buys something and runs to meet her. He runs because economicaly he cannot get a cab and emotionaly he dsnt have money. He runs and runs and reaches her. The same thing happens she smiles he smiles. Crosses the road carelessly. The habbit of choclates is so much that this time the girl puts her hands ahead and asks where is my silk?
The guy smiles. Puts hand in his pocket and keeps a choclate on her hand. Its a 5 rs dairymilk. The smallest of all. She is happy looking at that too. she says thank you so much.
She asks him "Why do you sweat so much"
he tells her the story. how his wallet lost. how he bought the choclate out of his last 5 rs for his friend. how he reached here running. The last line he says. " Sorry yaaar. This time yahi la paya" with a smile n a slightly disappointed face.
The girl melts a tear drops out of her eye. she rubs her hand on his cheeks and says.
" Such an idiot you are "
