LOVE IN THE AIR

Nalekha chitthi timi ke malai
Samjhe matra pugchha
Mutu ko maajh ma katai sanchera
Rakhe matra pugchha
Nalekha chitthi timi ke malai
Samjhe matra pugchha
Mutu ko maajh ma katai sanchera
Rakhe matra pugchha

Jalos yo jeevana jalso yo mann
Timi lai nyanu hunchha bhane
Jalos yo jeevana jalso yo mann
Timi lai nyanu hunchha bhane
Tukryaye aafulai chhari dinchhu ma ho...
Timi lai birano hunchha bhane
Nalekha chitthi timi ke malai
Samjhe matra pugchha

Bijhaunchha kanda bijhari rahos
Timi lai komal phul dine chhu
Bijhaunchha kanda bijhari rahos
Timi lai komal phul dine chhu
Dinu malai muskan timi ho...
Timi lai jivan ra dil dine chhu
Nalekaha chitthi timi le malai
Samjhe matra pugchha
Mutu ko maajh ma katai sanchera
Rakhe matra pugchha
Nalekha chitthi timi ke malai
Samjhe matra pugchha
Mutu ko maajh ma katai sanchera
Rakhe matra pugchha
La la la....
Um Hum....

Thank you Kusumji for your dedication and letter. Thank you for the beautiful words. I am happy that you are my huge fan. Moreover, keep writing to us. Now, we are playing your dedication. Enjoy your song."

When RJ Jinesh was playing Kusum's dedication, she was excited. She was dancing with the excited. More than that, she was flushed when he read her letter. When Jinesh was reading her letter she was recording his voice. Furthermore, whenever she used to hear the voice of Jinesh, she used to imagine how he used to look and make a sketch of him. She wanted to meet and see him.

Gradually, she started sending letters to the programme and Jinesh used to read those letters. But on March 25, 1998, she was on  the University, she received one of the letters. In envelope, she saw the name of Jinesh Ojha.She was anticipatory when she saw the name of Jinesh Ojha. When she reached home, she started reading the letter.
                                                                                                                              March 1, 1998
                                                                                                                              Sunday
Dear Kusumji,
                      Namaste Kusumji. I am fine and hope you are fine. Actually, I have things on my mind but I don't know how to write. To tell you the fact, I am something to tell you something.

When I read your those letters, I feel you are the most beautiful person with the beautiful heart. After reading the letter, I feel like you are in love with me. To tell you the truth, I am also in love with you. When I read those letters, I feel different. I feel like I am lost in different world. Although, I look normal, I am not. I am lost in your world. When I sleep, you are in my dream. Although, we haven't see each other, I imagine how you look.

I don't know when you will receive this letter but when you receive this letter, please call me at 01412557. This is the shop number nearby. Do call me at 8:00 am. I will be waiting for the call.

                                                                                                                                 Yours Sincerely
                                                                                                                                  Jinesh Ojha
                                                                                                                                  Baneshwor, KTM

Kusum was out of control and was excited. She was more excited when she got the gift from him. It was teddy bear.

The next day, she went nearby shop and called him.
"Hello," said Kusum.
"Hello."
"Jinesh Ojha."
"I am speaking, Kusumji."
"Yes."

For the moment, they didn't speak. Both were smiling and feeling nervous. More than that, they were shy. "How are you?" Both said at the same time. Both started smiling.

The telephone conversation was regular to both of them. When both of them couldn't speak with each other, they could feel they have missed something in their life.

After two months.......
1 June, 1998
8:00 am 
"Hello," Kusum said.
"Hello," Jinesh said.
"How are you?"
"I am fine. I want to tell something."
"Please tell."
"I want to meet you."
"I also want to tel you the same thing but was feeling awkward. Can we meet on July 6, 1998, Chinese Resturant, Maitidevi at 5:30 pm."
"Why 6 July? Cannot we meet before?"
"We have waited for so many days. Wait till 6 July. To tell the truth, 6 July is my birthday."

Both agreed. They haven't seen each other. Both have planned to recognised each other. Kusum will carry teddy bear gifted by Jinesh and Jinesh will carry heart sign given by Kusum. On the other hand, they were feeling nervous and was preparing what to tell when they will meet. Their heart was beating as the meeting date was coming near.

6 July, 1998
5:30, Chinese Restaurant 
Jinesh was waiting for Kusum. He reached at the right time. He looked at the time. It was already 6:30 pm and still he was waiting for her. He was looking around if he sees any girl carrying teddy bear  but he didn't find anyone.He waited till 7:30 pm and went in his bicycle.

Jinesh was shocked becasue Kusum didn't arrive. Why didn't she come on her birthday? What had happened to her? He had many questions to be answered. He had sent her thousands of letters but there was no response and even he even called her but couldn't reach her. He hadn't seen her and her home. He was thinking how to reach her. If he visits her in the college, everyone will think negatively so he didn't plan to visit her in the college. He makes a plan to wait for few days.

Days and nights passed. Many weeks passed. Three weeks have passed, there was no answer of Kusum. He started thinking negatively. "Whether she betrayed him and got new boyfriend. No, no. She cannot do this to think. She might be busy that's why she didn't come on that day. But how about letters? There might be delivery problem. But what's the problem with her? She could have informed me". He said to himself.

After two months....
"Hello."
"Can I get to Jinesh Ojha?"
"Who is this?"
"His friend."
"Call after five minutes. I will call him."

After five minutes...
"Hello."
"Is this Jineshji?"
"Yes and who is this?"
"Kusum's friend."
"Kusum's friend? Where is Kusum? She didn't come to me."

When he heard about Kusum, the receiver fell down. He told his cycle and reached Bir Hospital, New Road. She was in the ICU. She was sleeping. He went near to her and was looking at her. His tears fell in the hand of Kusum. She opened her eyes.

"You?"
"Jinesh Ojha." He said crying.
"Jinesh!" She was shocked to see and was amazed who told him about her. "How did you know about me?"
"Divya told me about you. But why didn't you tell me about your brain tumor."
"I didn't want to trouble you so I didn't tell you."
"When you didn't come on that day, I had many questions on my mind. I send you many letters and called you many times but there was no response. My brain used to tell you betrayed but my heart used to tell you didn't betray me. I was confused. "

There were tears in her eyes. "Didn't you have trust in my love? If I didn't send you letters and respond your phone, it doesn't mean I am betrayal.I loved you much that I cannot betray you. You could have trusted me and my love.

When it was our first meet, I was almost already and was about to move from home but my head became heavy and I couldn't move and I fainted at home. After half an hour, Divya came in my home. She saw me on the floor and called me. I didn't respond and my family admitted me in this hospital. My family didn't know that I was fainted. But when I was admitted here, I came to know I had brain tumor and it's the last stage. At the beginning, I thought it was normal headache and I ignored it. Didn't know it was brain tumor.

I wrote letters to you but couldn't have dare to send it. I even called you and knew you went to attend your friend's marriage ceremony. "

Both started crying and she took out the letters from the pillow and gave it to Jinesh and said,"These are the letters which I wrote for you." He took those letters and kept in the bag.

Later, doctors, Divya and Kusum's family came inside. They were talking about the condition of Kusum. After half an hour, doctor called Kusum but she didn't respond. Everyone called her but she didn't give any respond. Doctor touched her pulse. She was death. Everyone started crying. "Kusum," said Jinesh. He hadn't cried so much in his life as he cried in the death of Kusum.

1999, July 6
He took out the photo and letters of Kusum. He had tears in his eyes. "Happy Birthday Kusum. I miss you. I feel guilty that I couldn't make you happy and couldn't spent time with you. More than that, I couldn't get time to know you. But your letters are with me and will always remain with me, Kusum.   If there is another birth, I wish to spend time with you, only with you."
