Meri Annu | The Chaudhary Girl – I never wanted to write about her because I do not want to ease my sadness. After all, for me, writing is a therapy that helps in healing. And it’s her first birthday without her. She left us on 23 OCTOBER 2020.
How we met, where we met –
It was starting of my college days. I have joined graduation at Mathura (Shree Ji Baba College). I was very nervous at that time, there are other girls also in our college but we used to talk less. Maybe because of my shy nature.
And yes I was not happy there. And then she came. She got late admission and then I came to know that she is from Vrindavan, from where I come. From inside I was so happy that finally, I had someone. And then she asked my full name and I told her Khushi Chaudhary and she was extremely happy that I am Chaudhary means (JAAT). She had almost Jaat friends. And then we started going to college together.
She told me after that when she met me for the first time. She finds me very shy and other girls were making fun of me on something(joke spat) (that I did not remember) and that day she decided that she will make me khunkar(dangerous). So that nobody can ever dare to say a single word to me even any joke spat.
And then we started roaming around temples, malls, markets, tuitions, and each other homes, everywhere we can think of. We have spent a very amazing time together.
Let I tell you about her likes, dislikes-
She was an army lover and crazy about army people, dress, army trucks. and the reason behind this was his father was a warrior who fought in Kargil. And she was the witness of the bravery of our army. She was brave, kind, Yaaro ki yaar, passionate about joining the army, she used to love her cast so much(Jaat).she was proud to be a Jaat. She was an angry bird and used to love her family a lot. Especially her elder brother whenever we went shopping she always bought something for him.
I have remembered an incident –
When she and I were going to Mathura for our practical and met with an accident and I got injured. I remember, I was in the bed for a month and one day I was waiting for my mother to come so we can go to the doctor for dressing. After every 2 days I have to go and that day I was having pain and then she called me to ask hows I am doing I told her that I am not feeling good and mma is not here.
And then after talking she cut the call. And after 30 mins she was in front of me and it was 8’o clock.it was dark outside and she came by cycle bcoz her father and brother were not at home. She took me to the hospital and then went to her home back. and be frank from that day I have learned to take the step for friends in any circumstances.
She was the one who takes care of me a lot. When I went for the job for Noida. Whenever I used to come home late. Sometimes it’s was 9 or 10 clocks. And then she told me no need to come late whenever you are late just called me I will come with my father to receive you.
We both have done a lot of fun. There is a lot of stories and incidents which can’t be shared. Because we both were very conservative and I believe she will not like it If I will share all the things here. But one thing I will say is that we used to know everything about each other life, family, present, past everything.
One day she called me and I was not able to pick up her call and then my brother asked me do you know what has happened with Anjali di?
I was like – what?
Her elder brother is no more, I was like are you kidding me I went to their home two days before I have seen him he was ok. And he told me it’s true. I was numb for few minutes. I told my mother I have to go now. and my mother replied that it’s dark outside even your father is not there how will we go? But I was like I have to meet her now.
And my body was shivering and when I reached there she was unconscious. Then someone told Anjali it’s Khushi, Anjali, Anjali, Anjali Khushi is here she comes to meet you. When she realized it she hugged me and cried a lot.
She was very strong. I used to go to meet her after 2 or 3 days frequently and I can’t see her mother crying and I start crying loudly after seeing her mother and she is the one who made me realize that it is his(GOD) wish. This is why I can’t believe how can a strong girl like her took her own life.
We used to stand on the road for hours to talk, we used to sit in the park of the hospital for hours to talk-And we used to discuss how will we survive in this world of a show-off, fake promises, dishonesty.
And see I survived and she left.
My sister’s name is also Anjali and I used to say my Anjali to(My friend), even whenever I talk about her I still say Meri Anjali.
We have seen a lot of dreams together –
Scotty riding, Our children will get marry (Dosti Rishtedari Main Bdlenge Aur Ek din Nikl Jayenge Ghumne subh subh Aur Kisi random Dhabe par Baithkar tea Piyenge, Kahi Ghumne Chlenge I will be there in her marriage for 7 days bcoz she does not have a sister and I will be there for every ritual.
Our college was over I got admission in mca and she B.ed. still, we used to roam around. And then I went for the job and she was preparing for the government exam. And now we had less communication. We both were busy in our life. Hehe, you know I have gone for the parikrama to save her life and then I came to know she also went for the parikrama to wish death. Main haar Gayi, Aur vo jeet gayi.
Last time when I had food with her I remember she has eaten the food after 4 days- 4 chapati,sabji, 2 glasses of water, salad, and one mango even she baths after a month. She always used to tell me that she was proud of me every time she made me realized that I am best. and you know what I have lost I have lost a person who has seen my whole journey, who was a witness of what I have faced, and who Was proud of me.
Her last word was that now you are Anjali for my parents you have to take care of them and you are the only one who can. She has always seen good things in me you know what on my every birthday she uses to call me at 12 and use to sing the song “tum jiyo hzaro saal .”. I also used to sing for her but – Lgta hain mene dil see nahi bola tabhi to vo itna jaldi chli gayi.
Still, it is hard to believe she is no more.
Her mother told me that she used to say that I have a lot of friends but I have a special place for khushi. And this I always knew. I have seen this in her eyes.
And, I always told her that you made me strong Anjali, whenever I look at you I become more strong but I think I have not said it Uss trike Se ki Vishawash Kar Pati.
She took her own life. Yes, it is hard to believe that sassy girl, Jatni, Yaaro ki yaar. She took her own life and I could not save her. And now I feel hard to make friends, I am scared. Actually, The people I have are sufficient. Now it’s hard to fight, angry with anyone is not even worth it. It is like when she went she took a part of me!
Just wanna say Ki – Kuch log bahoot masum, acche hote hain. Kisi ka dil na dikhao yaara aur aese logo ka to bilkul nahi.Kya pta koi itna bikhar jaye ki kabhi smbhal hi na paye.Tumhara so cold fun kisi insaan ko jindgi bhar ka dukh de skta hain.Kuch uske sath jee lete aur kuch nhi jee paate.
Today I met with her parents. Nothing is left with them. They are alone.Aur bahoot preshan aur bahoot Yaad karte hain use,Kash usne ek baar unke baare main socha hota.Bas Itna kahna ki kabhi kisi ki yaad aaye to haal chal puch lo.Kisi ka dukh sun lo, Kisi ko suna lo, Chhoti si jindgi hain – Jane wale kabhi laut kar nahi aate.Chahe aap Kuch bhi krlo ek baar jo chla gya vo chla gya.
