Rivanya OS: O Re Piya!

Rivanya OS: O Re Piya!

Shivanya sat in front of the bedside mirror, combing her hair but her mind had already drifted far away. She was in a dilemma. The words of Shesha were echoing in her ears, “Shaadi karke kahin tum apna inetkaam toh nahi bhool gayi? Kya apna badla nahi logi tum? Paanch mein se sirf do logon se badla liya aur badla pura ho gaya kya?”

She tried to reason with Shesha, “Aisi baat nahi hai. Maine Viren ko aur Ankush ke dost ko maar diya hai magar iske baad main seedhe kise aur ko nahi maar sakti warna shak mujhpar aa jayega. Mera agla vaar Tanvi ke pita Shailesh par hoga, magar kuch din baad…”

“Theek hai!” Shesha had agreed.

Although she had convinced Shesha that her only motive was still revenge, she could no longer convince herself. ‘I can and I will kill Shailesh! But looking at how much Ritik loves his father, it is becoming difficult for me to make a decision.” Just then a familiar voice broke her chain of thoughts.

“Hi!” Ritik smiled at her Shivanya as she turned a bit and smiled at him. His one smile could make her entire day.

“Aap aa gaye?” she asked, her heat fluttering seeing him.

He smiled, “Nahi main abhi nahi aaya hoon. Abhi tak office mein hoon. Kal aaunga!” Ritik joked making Shivanya laugh. “Mera who matlab nahi tha…”

“Pata hai…” he said still smiling. “Khana khaaya?”

Shivanya was touched, instead of talking about himself Ritik always  gave her the first priority. He made sure that she was happy. “Nahi abhi nahi…” she wanted to tell him she was waiting for him to come so that they could eat together, but looking at the time, she thought he might have eaten in office as it was quite late and he must have been hungry.

“Pata tha mujhe!” he said while taking his coat off and hanging it, “Mere bina tum nahi khaogi.. mujhe bhi bahut bhook lagi hai.. jaise tum mere bina nahi khaa sakti main tumhare bina nahi kha sakta…” he told her rolling up the sleeves of his black shirt. Shivanya’s heart did a flip, listening to that. She had lived all her life alone in the name of revenge and suddenly this man had come in her life and changed it upside down. Suddenly there was someone who loved her, who cherished her, who cared about her more than himself, who respected her, who gave her the sense of belonging.

“Theek hai aap naha lijiye mein khana garam karti hoon.” Shivanya said standing up.

“Haan theek hai…” Ritik replied while rolling up the other sleeve, but he stopped as he looked up.

Shivanya looked at him confused, “Kya hua?”

“Uhh…wo…” Ritik replied still in trance, “Bhook lagi toh thi magar tumhe aise dekh kar patanahi kahan chali gayi…”

Shivanya looked at herself, she was in a plain orange deep neck kameez and looked the same, the only difference was that her dupatta was missing. It was lying on the chair. “Kaise dekh kar? Mujhme toh kuch bhi alag nahi hai…” she asked confused.

“Wahi toh…” Ritik smiled as he started walking towards her, “Pehli baar jitni khoobsurat thi… jitni pyaari thi…utni hi ho… kuch nahi badla…aaj bhi tumhe dekhta hoon toh usi tarah dhadkan tez ho jaati hain jitni pehli baar hui thi…kuch bhi nahi badla…” he told her looking in her eyes lovingly, standing a few feet away.

Shivanya blushed and slowly raised her hands, calling him to hug her. He came and took her in his arms making her feel on top of the world. It had been two months since they were married and the attraction had been increased between them at lightning speed. Everytime Ritik touched Shivanya she could melt from his touch. She would forget that a word like “revenge” existed. Ritik had given her all the space that she wanted and always respected her privacy but the honesty and simplicity in him had made Shivanya lose all her will power and accept him as her husband. First step she had taken was asking him to sleep on the bed and not the floor anymore. Her heart melted when she saw that Ritik would never take advantage of her even once, she started growing closer to him. It has been a month since they started living like normal couples. No, they had not gone to the next level of love. They were still exploring the beginning of love, slowly growing closer. It had started from a handshake and slowly went to a hug then slowly a kiss on the cheek. Slowly yet very obviously their physical intimacy was increasing and both the young hearts were very happy to explore this stage of love. Shivanya kept forgetting her revenge when she was around Ritik, she felt happy, and she felt complete.

Ritik kissed her cheek slowly, “Bahot bhook lagi hai tumhe toh pehle khana kha lein?” he asked her slowly, looking into her eyes lovingly, still holding her close, his hand on her cheek.

“Baad mein kha lenge…” Shivanya replied blushing.

Ritik smiled widely, looking at her blush. In one moment they were on the bed and Ritik was kissing her lush lips, savoring her. The learned yogi had given her a boon that whenever she will be touched by her husband she will take a human form as her husband is human. Whenever Ritik touched her, she wasn’t a naagin, she wasn’t naagin Shivanya. She was a woman, only Shivanya. Ritik’s wife Shivanya. Ritik rolled and now Shivanya was on top of him, she paled feather light kisses all over his face, kissing his eyes, his cheeks, chin, nose and forehead. She slowly kissed his neck and then bit on his chest. Ritik breathed hard, this girl was too hot for him to handle!

Not being able to take it anymore, he rolled again and came on top of her. He looked intently in Shivanya’s eyes and she blushed hard. Her red cheeks ignited a fire in him and his desire to savor her increased by a million. He pulled her hair to reveal her neck more and started planting passionate kisses on her neck. Shivanya winced as he bit the soft spot on her neck and she smiled. Her hand found her way to his hair, as she pulled him closer, enjoying the sensation.

Shivanya opened her eyes and thought, ‘Main humesha tumhari raksha karungi Ritik. Tumhara saath mere liye iss duniya mein sabse mahatwapoorn hai! Main sirf tumhari hoon…” as Ritik continued kissing her. He slowly bit near her chest and she  winced a bit loudly. Ritim stopped immediately and looked at her with concern, “Dard hua?”

“Haan!” Shivanya replied blushing, “Par, meetha dard!” she said kissing the tip of his nose making Ritik smile and peck her lips.

After a few minutes, Shivanya got up and said, “Bahot bhook lagi hai..khana khaane chalein?”

Ritik quickly got up and made her wear the dupatta, hiding all the red marks on her neck and chest. “Main nahin chahta tumhe mere alawa koi bhi aise dekhe!” he said possessively and Shivanya blushed.

 They went down together to have dinner with the family. Shailesh had come for dinner with them. After everything was sorted out, Shailesh had decided to continue his friendship with Ankush as not doing so would harm their business. After sneaking and listening to a few conversations of Shailesh on the phone in the past few days, Shivanya came to know about his illegal business. Her plan was to take him to that spot where his illegal drug warehouse was and bite him. She would call the police and after he recovers from the small bite, he would spend the rest of his life in jail! And she wouldn’t give him an ordinary bit but a paralytic bite which would cause some of his body-parts to be paralyzed for life. Shivanya fumed as she saw him eat, talking away happily with everyone. “Haslo jitna hasna hai Shailesh! Ab wo din door nahi jab main tumse apna badla lungi…phir tum zindagi bhar nahi has sakoge!” she thought.

Ritik looked at Shivanya and saw her fume, he came close to her and whispered, “Mujhe pata hai tumhe bura lagta hai jab wo ladki jisse meri shaadi hone wali thi aur uski family yahan pe aati hai..Magar yakeen maano mere dil mein tumhare alawa aur koi nahi hai.. Yeh sab yahan iss liye aatein hain kyunki yeh papa ke bahut ache dost hai aur unke business partner bhi…” he sweetly looked at her.

Shivanya’s eyes welled up. How can someone love her so much? Just because he saw her fuming, he made an effort to take all the worry away from her mind. He thought she felt insecure when Tanvi or her family came to his house. If she wasn’t in the dining hall right now with everyone else around, she would have hugged him tightly for being such a sweet and understanding husband. Her mother had been right, her husband had come in her life in a human form and he showered her with all the love in the world.

“Aisi baat nahi hai…mujhe aap par pura bharosa hai…”Shivanya replied, making Ritik smile.

Later in the night, Ritik was almost asleep as Shivanya leaned on her right elbow, stroking his hair with her left hand, putting him to sleep softly. A smile had adorned on his face even in his sleep. She could tell he was happy to have her in his life, he loved her very much. Shiavnya though while stroking his hair, looking at him, “Mujhe pata hai aap apne pita se bahot pyaar karte hain, magar mein bhi toh pane mata pita se bahot pyaar karti hoon. Aapke pita ne jo gunaah kiya uski sazaa toh unko milni chahiye na? Jab mera badla pura ho jayega toh main aapko sab kuch sach sach bata dungi…aur uske baad aap mujhe apnaaye ya thukraye yeh aapki marzi hogi aur main use maanungi. Magar main vaada karti hoon ki main ajiwan sirf aap se pyaar karungi aur humesha aapki raksha karungi…”

Making a decision in her mind, Shivanya kept her head on his pillow, and although they had such a large bed, they slept on the same side together, in the warmth of each other on one pillow. As Shivanya settled beside him, Ritik automatically engulfed her in his arms, getting more comfortable.

“Neend mein bhi aap mujhe bahon mein lena nahi bhulenge!” Shivanya mumbled, cupping his cheek.

“Kabhi nahi!” came a sleepy reply, making Shivanya giggle.

Slowly the beautiful made for each other couple drifted into sweet dreams of each other…

          

KaYa TS: A Simple Dinner!

 TS: A Simple Dinner!

Everyone was sitting in the conference room and deciding what new shows to put in the channel to increase its TRP, as Kabir had suggested that it was difficult to reach the number 1 position but the real challenge was maintaining the position. And now that they had reached that number one place they had to make sure to keep the channel at that place and raise it even higher. The panel was open for suggestions and everyone was giving their ideas.
Ananya: I think we should do a show related to culture and explore different religious sites and interview people of that religion, as to why they follow it and some background about it.
Kabir: That's a good idea. We can do that, it will help connect with the audience.
Ronnie: Areh wah Ananya, aaj kal tujhe bhagwan ki yaad aane lagi! He remarked making everyone giggle.
Ananya: Nahi who actually, I wanted to say don't give me any credit for this idea.
Malvika (making a face) Why not?
Ananya: Kyunki yeh idea mera nahi Sunny ka hai. I was talking to him yesterday and he was telling me something about WaheGuru and Golden Temple and the history was so interesting that after hearing it I wanted to see those places. So I thought even the viewers might also be.
Kabir: So it's an idea from you and Sunny. Okay next.
Richa: Sir maybe we can do a 15 minutes show on interviewing the experiences and more about sports players of our country through their families. Usually it's the parents, siblings  and friends who have a lot tell us about these Sports Idols which no one knows and it can help the fans understand them better.
Kabir: Great idea! We will work on that too. Next...
Trisha was busy eating something and not paying attention when Khalid scolded her, "Miss Trisha maybe you have forgotten this isn't the canteen and you are here for a discussion," and Trisha was embarrassed and blurted out without thinking, "Idea hi toh de rahi thi sir!" and she looked around at amused faces and Richa muttered to Ananya, "Yeh pagal ladki kya bol rahi..."
"Kaisa idea?" Khalid asked knowing she was lying, "Ki dear viewers hum aapko sikhaatein hai ki conference room khaate kaise hain..."
Ananya interrupted to save her friend, "No sir. Trisha ka idea hai ki we should do a cooking show. And not just any cooking show in which they show food which takes hours to prepare...uhh... instead food for people who are running late, like quick meal ideas or something." She said in a hurry and smiled as she realized that she did make some sense instead of sounding stupid.
Khalid smiled and said in his usual tone, "And Miss. Kashyap Trisha ka idea aap ke dimaag mein kaise aya?"
Oh shucks! Ananya was in a fix and she gave a small pout to her dear friend Mr. Kabir Sharma silently requesting him to save her. He chuckled at her innocent face and said, "Doesn't matter Khalid. The point is that the idea is good. Even I look for quick meal idea everyday as I don't like cooking complex dishes."
Ananya was kind of shocked! He cooked? The great Editor-in-chief who had the power to keep a full time cook for him actually cooked food for himself. Wow! That was something new for her but she couldn't ask him more about it as right now in front of him was the Editor-in-chief and not her friend and she couldn't talk casually with him as it would be disrespectful, being a junior if she talked freely with him then it would give leeway to all others and Kabir wouldn't like it, she knew.

"Okay guys. Keep brainstorming and we will meet here tomorrow morning at 10 to discuss more on this. Now Ananya you and Sunny go get some numbers of people who are ready to elaborate more on their culture. Richa, you go with Manav to meet the families of some sports personalities. And Trisha get me the numbers of the quick meal chefs and call them for an interview. Malvika please conduct this interview next week and choose the best chef. Gather all information and convince people this week, we are going to start shooting next week." Kabir ended the meeting and everyone headed to do their assigned tasks.

Kabir was speaking to Ronnie when he heard Ananya crib to Sunny as they were preparing to leave. "Sunny yaar! Pani-puri khaane ka bahut mann kar raha hai." And Kabir smiled looking at the child like face she made.
"Chup kar ja maata!," Sunny told her, " Office ke kaam se ja rahe hain hum, tujhe ghumane nahi leke ja rahe, na pani-puri milegi aur na Amrish Puri.. mere paas milega sirf camera.. ab yeh khaana hai toh khale..." he laughed at her.

She pointed her finger at him, "Chal Sunny ab bore mat kar, kaam par lag jaate hain warna daat toh yaha puri milegi.." and they left leaving a thoughtful Kabir behind them.
Later that night, as Kabir finished his work it was around 7pm and everyone else had left for the day. He was about to get up when his phone buzzed and he smiled knowing who it was. He didn't have to guess nowadays, he knew it must be Ananya. That girl had a lot to talk about. He smiled as he read her message, "Mujhe pata nahi tha ki you cook for yourself. I can't believe it. Were you serious? :O"
He replied, "You think I was lying?"
Almost instantly the reply came, "No, not all. I was just shocked."
"Why?"
She smiled as she replied, "You have all the money to hire a full time cook."
"Doesn't mean I will spend the money on something I can do myself." He replied still smiling at her interrogation.
"Okay. What do you cook usually?" she asked curious, not being able to imagine him in the kitchen.
Kabir thought for a while and replied, "How about I show you? Have you had dinner already?"


Ananya almost jumped with excitement! Kabir was actually asking her for dinner!!! H phone fell from her hand and she quickly picked it up to reply, "No, not yet."

"Be ready in 15 minutes..." Came a quick reply.

Ananya ran to her room and found a beautiful white and cream colored strap top and some black leggings to go with it. She lightly braided her hair and put on a pink scarf. Being satisfied with her look she headed to the sitting room and informed her mother, "Ma, aaj main Kabir sir ke saath dinner karungi, theek hai?" and her mother smiled in agreement. Meeting Kabir a few times now, she realized how wrong she had been about the guy and despite her being confused about his character he had helped her family clear the name of her husband and now they could live proudly.

Ananya walked out and saw Kabir standing leaning against his car smiling at her; he looked at his watch and said, "Not bad. For the first time you are just 4 minutes late. That's some improvement."
Ananya rolled her eyes smiling as he opened the door for her and as she sat in the car. She saw him open the back door and take something out and walk towards her house. Upon ringing the doorbell, her mother opened the door and he handed her a small bouquet and a box of sweets. After speaking for a while he came back to the car.
"Yeh kya.."
He looked at her and replied, "Ananya it would be rude if I had not met her. You are a girl and she is letting you for dinner with me and that means she trusts me with her daughter. I had to show some appreciation."

Ananya was amazed by him, this guy was really something. So intelligent and thoughtful about everything, he actually thought about everything from all angles and acknowledged everyone involved. Her thoughts broke, when she saw the beautiful apartment in front of her as the car came to a halt. Kabir opened the door and she stepped out. She waited patiently as he opened the door of his house, and they stepped in. Ananya looked around at the gorgeous apartment. Everything was lavish but simple and she loved it.
"Make yourself comfortable." He said coming from the kitchen handing her a cup of coffee, "I will be back after a shower."

As Kabir was bathing, Ananya looked around a bit more when she heard his phone ring. She ignored it but it rang again then again so she thought it must be an important call, so she decided to tell him. She walked towards his room and knocked on the door and surprisingly it was not locked and it opened fully due to her knocking on it. Ananya stood with her mouth open, as she saw Kabir in a towel standing in front of the mirror running his hands through his wet hair. She wanted to close her eyes but they refused to leave the sight in front of her. His chiseled chest and back, Oh my dear God!!

Kabir looked at her through the mirror and smiled, "Ananya agar theek se mujhe dekh liya ho toh.. shayad tum jo kehne aayi thi who bolna chahogi.." he completed walking towards her.

Ananya was caught off-guard, dumbfounded by the enticing beauty of this Greek God she tried to speak but no words came out. "Kya hua?" asked he said nearing the door.

She tried speaking again and thank her lucky stars this time she was able to whisper, "Uhh.. wo.. aapka phone... wo baj raha tha.. uhm ek baar baja toh maine ignore kardia... uhh par baar baar baja toh mujhe laga zaruri hoga... toh wo main aapko bulane aayi thi...uhh.. I'm sorry.."

Kabir just smiled at his budbudati reporter, "Oh theek hai main dekhta hun.." saying that he walked past her and started checking his phone. Ananya breathes a sigh of relief yet her heart still stuck in her throat as she realized he just walked out of his room in a towel and she closed eyes gulping hard.

"... Theek hai Khurana main kal subah hi aata hoon..okay..." he kept the phone and turned around to go to his room and at that same time Ananya turned to hurry to the balcony and thud, Ananya banged hard on his chest all ready to fall when she felt his strong arms around her.

For a moment her world stopped, it felt so perfect in his arms and she looked into his eyes with admiration. He didn't know why he always drowned in those light brown eyes, that innocent smile and he too felt it was perfect but nevertheless he had to get them both out of trance, "Waise Ananya I don't mind this. Par agar main thodi der aur aise khada raha toh mera towel khul jayega.."

Ananya gasped and stood up quickly apologizing and Kabir went to change. Ananya sat quietly on the dining table waiting for him and as he returned she couldn't help but admire how handsome he looked in casuals...

"So what do you want to eat?" he asked her walking to the kitchen and smiling at her.
"Aapne toh kaha tha ki jo aap khate ho who khilayenge.. mujhe wahi khana hai jo aap usually khaate ho.." she replied content.

"Okay..." he said rubbing his hands together looking around, deciding what to cook and finally he decided he would cook his favorite eggs and began working on it.

Okay if Kabir Sharma was hot then a cooking Kabir Sharma was s-e-x-y!!! She looked with eyes wide opened as he cooked away cutting all the ingredients.

"Teekha khaati ho?" he asked her looking up smiling yet again at her shocked expression and not getting a reply he coaxed her again. "Ananya?"

"..huh..haan.." she said coming out of her dreamland.
"Teekha khaati ho tum?" he asked again.

"Jaisa aap khate ho exactly waisa hi banaiye.." she replied quickly because he brain could not register anything.

"Main aap ki kuch help karun..." Ananya said walking to the kitchen because she knew if she stayed a while longer staring at him she would die!

Kabir looked around trying to find a suitable task for her because he too was having butterflies knowing that her eyes were glued to him. "You can keep the plates..." he said and she asked where they were kept and just as he was about to put his hand on the plate, her eyes also found the plates and they happened to touch it together.

Their eyes quickly darted at each other, feeling the current of each other's touch as they removed their hands quickly and she took the plates to the table and then started filling in water for both of them. Kabir served the food and they began eating, "Mmm! This is delicious!" Kabir chuckled. "Thank you!"

They enjoyed their dinner with Ananya speaking and Kabir listening and then she cleaned the dishes insisting that he had cooked and being friends there was no formality. Kabir leaned on the kitchen slab and admired her with a small smile playing on his lips, she had lit up his dull house with so much liveliness and now she was busy singing as she washed the dishes. For the first time, his house felt like a home!

Ananya was surprised as she came to the living room and saw all the ingredients of pani-puri  on the table. "You said you wanted to eat..." Kabir said shyly.

Ananya was touched with his gesture and she didn't realize when she hugged him tightly, "Thank you so much!" Kabir was hesitant at first but then responded to the hug, "Ab khao warna kharaab ho jayega..." he said breaking the hug.

Ananya sat cross legged on the sofa, just like it was her own house and Kabir sat beside her. Ananya started making pani-puri's and began eating them, "Oh! Yum! Mmm..." she devoured the taste of it and started eating them quickly like a child and she didn't realize when some syrup slid down from the side of her mouth, she was too busy eating but Kabir who had his eyes glued to her, gulped hard looking at her. She was an ethereal beauty!

"Aap bhi khaiye nai sir..." she said having another one.
Kabir denied, "Nahi. Tum khaao."
"Please. Bahut tasty hai. Sach mein!" she pleaded him.

He looked at her and wiped the syrup on the side of her lips with his thumb and slowly brought it to his mouth and tasted it. "Sach mein bahut tasty hai..." he replied while Ananya looked at him shocked. This gesture of his had taken her heart away! On the other hand, Kabir couldn't decide what was tastier the syrup or the fact that the syrup came from her mouth!

Both sat silently, trying to calm their racing hearts...







A Simple Dinner Part 2




There was complete silence in the room after Kabir's unexpected gesture towards Ananya, no matter how much they would try to deny it both knew there was something extremely intimate about it was affecting them both. Kabir didn't want Ananya to feel uncomfortable and make this the last time that she came to his house, he wanted her to come more often now so he knew he had to get the sanity back in the air, he mentally kicked himself for not thinking twice before tasting the syrup from her mouth.

"Uhm tv dehogi?" he asked her not looking directly her, pretending to look for the remote though he knew exactly where it was kept.
Ananya caught he was trying to do and smiled, this guy was too adorable! "Haan zarur!" she tried to keep her voice as chirpy as possible to assure him that she had not taken him negatively. Who could? *wink*

While Kabir switched on the tv, Ananya cleared the table and both of them sat down to watch tv. The movie playing was Humko Deewana Kar Gaye and both of them soon got engrossed in the movie, as somewhere both knew that they were feeling what Akshay and Katrina were portraying in the movie. They both enjoyed each other's company just like Akshay and Katrina did and they both knew that they had some special feelings towards each other but they were too confused right now to call it love. The scene where Katrina was at Akshay's house at night and they were watching a movie together came up and suddenly they could feel the living room heat up again as they realized they were watching a movie too just like Akshay and Katrina.

Ananya gulped hard, why had God planned to do all awkward things in one day. Agar awkward situations laana hi that oh split kardete throughout the week, but nahi bhagwan ko toh saara adventure ek hin raat mein dena tha!

They both sighed in relief when the scene ended and they both avoided each other's gaze. Now the scene where Katrina misunderstands Akshay and is leaving came up while Akshay went to meet her in the washroom and him getting intimate with her, both quickly reached for the remote which was kept between them, to change the channel and they held it together. If the scene was awkward then their hands in each other's hands and their eyes not leaving each other was just about to burn Kabir's house. This time even Kabir was so lost in her that he couldn't break the trance, however, God smiled and counted 3...2...1 and clicked his finger and the Ananya's phone rang breaking their eyelock. God shook his head laughing, how much he loved teasing them, he was in no hurry and wanted to take his own sweet time to make them realize their love for each other!


"Hello haan Armaan main.. ek minute..." Ananya said and asked Kabir, "Pooch raha hai ki main kab aaungi..."

Kabir looked skeptical, things had been so awkward moments ago and he had expected her to tell Armaan she is about to leave but this girl was here, asking him so casually, if he wanted her to leave. "Ek ghante mein drop karunga toh chalega?" he asked quietly unsure if she would agree.
But she turned to the phone next instant, "Armaan mujhe ek ghanta ya use zyada lagega. Tu soja aur ma se bhi kehde I will be fine and ask her to sleep too. Keep the key under the mat. Okay bye. Goodnight!" she kept the phone and looked at a surprised Kabir, but how could she answer his confusion about her behavior when she herself didn't understand why she was ready to stay longer. So to take a break from all the awkwardness she excused herself to visit the washroom.

While Ananya was in the washroom, her phone beeped and involuntarily Kabir's eyes darted to the screen and he saw in the notification that it was a message from Manav, which read, "Hey Partner. I heard you got a new lead about this fashion designer being a drug dealer in disguise. I hope you will share this news with me. By the way you looked lovely today; you should wear yellow more often!"

Thank god mobiles nowadays had a notification which displayed the entire message thought God and he realized he was God and was thanking himself and he laughed, KaYa were making him insane too! Then God burst out laughing as he saw Kabir fuming with anger and he started fanning himself saying, "Bhagwan! Manav ki raksha karna. And Ananya get ready for a whole new session of Coffee with Kabir because you have a lot of questions to answer."

Ananya returned and sat beside Kabir again, her eyes fixed to the tv when Kabir who couldn't remain quiet any longer finally spoke calmly, "Ananya, aaj kal koi nayi lead par kaam kar rahi ho?"
Ananya looked at him confused, usually he kept professional work out of their friendship then why was he asking but then she answered, "Nahi filhaal kuch khaas nahi hai..." she said still unsure about the drug case.
Kabir's anger went up to level 2, so she can tell Manav but not him! He tried again, "Ek bhi nahi?"

"Nahi..." she replied casually.

Both remained silent, while Ananya watched the tv unaware of his thoughts Kabir was boiling inside, still not realizing why he was feeling so angry. He was angry because Ananya shared this information with Manav before him, and more on the fact that Manav complimented Ananya. His brain was flooded with questions. How often did they text each other? How many times did Manav compliment her? Did she like him flirting with her? Did she trust Manav more than him?

"Waise... tumhe compliments toh bahot milte honge haina?" he asked looking down at his hands, his voice was low yet edgy. Ananya was bewildered with his question, Kabir never behaved this way. What had happened so suddenly? "Kya matlab?" she asked him still confused.

"Nahi. Now you are more recognized as a reporter and now more people might be knowing you and complimenting you..." he replied still not looking at her.
She still didn't get his cue because she had not read the message yet, "Nahi toh! Aisa kuch nahi hai. Jaisa pehle tha waise hi hai..." she replied honestly.

If she was confused until now then his next question shocked her, "Do you trust me?"

"Why are you.." she tried asking but he cut her off, "Yes or no?"

"Yes!"

"Then why didn't you tell me about the drug deal case which you are working on and you told Manav about it already?"

"What? Why told Manav sir?" she asked surprised. "Then what is this?" he asked handing over her phone from the sofa.

Ananya read the message and looked confused, and in a moment her expression changed to anger and she started dialing somewhere, "Hello Tinu!" she roared as he answered the phone, "Teri toh khair nahi! How many times have I told you not to share my leads with Pandey! He goes and tells verything to Manav sir and Manav sir starts eating my head. Next time if I see you talking to him I will cut your mouth!"

Kabir was stunned, this girl was a tigress and that made him smile as all his confusion was cleared. It wasn't Ananya who told Manav and he thought, but then the realization hit him! He had landed himself in a soup! Now it was her turn to fire him with questions and he didn't know how to answer them. He was all prepared to hear her taunts and scolding but he was amazed when she spoke calmly, "I am not going to break your trust or our friendship. Please trust me."

"You are not angry?" he asked her, touched by her words.

"No. I know your past is not so rosy and betrayal has made you sensitive to these things." She replied smiling at him.

"Wo actually... main..." he hesitated looking for words.

Ananya placed her hand on his, "I'm in no hurry. You can tell me when you are comfortable. Afterall what are friends for."

"Shreya. She thought.. that i.. I cheated her.. and that... I was good for nothing and there were guys better than me... and she left me... feeling devastated I decided to prove her wrong in anger. I started working day and night to become successful... But when I did reach the top spot, I realized how mechanical I had become. I had nothing in life except power and money, a routine to follow, work, eat, sleep then work again... your friendship has filled up my life... and it matters much more to me than you can imagine... now I feel like I too am living and not just breathing... I started laughing again... these emotions which I stopped feeling years ago are knocking on my door, ready to hug me! I'm sorry for a moment I thought maybe I was not able to become a friend and you..." he couldn't complete his sentence when Ananya placed her hand on his mouth, nodding her head from said to side gesturing him not to speak anymore.

Kabir stood up and walked out to the balcony, looking at the dark night, trees swaying and cool wind blowing to his face. He closed his eyes for a while to calm himself down, he breathed deeply. After so many years he felt so emotional. The feelings rushing inside him made him feel human, again. Ananya let him calm down then walked to him, standing beside him quietly looking at weather getting rougher and the wind getting stronger. She rubbed her hands together and smiled. He had finally opened up, that means today he had placed implicit trust in her and now he had complete faith in their friendship.

After what felt like ages, Ananya finally spoke up. "Kabir?"

"Hmm..." he said slowly still looking ahead.

"Can I get a hug?"

That made him turn and look at her, while she smiled at him innocently. He nodded in a yes and she came to him slowly engulfing her arms around him, placing her head on his chest and she could hear his racing heart-beat. "It feels like you just ran a marathon." She mumbled laughing slowly. "I feel so too," he said chuckling as he placed his arms around her petite form. She was wearing a strap top so he could feel her skin to be cold, "Are you feeling cold?" he asked her.

"Not anymore." She replied slowly, her voice conveying contentment. "I will never leave you. No matter how bad your day is. If you want proof then consider the fact that it took so many years to prove that my father was innocent, people always told me otherwise but I had faith in him. I knew he was a good man and I have the same faith in you Kabir. I don't know why but I just want you to know that, I want you to know that I will not break our bond, no matter what."

Kabir smiled, "I promise too, to never leave your side. I will always be there for you."

Kabir made a mental note to thank Trisha the next day because if it wasn't for her eating in the conference room, Ananya jumping in to save her and him saving Ananya by revealing that he cooked the Ananya wouldn't have been so curious and this dinner wouldn't have happened. He had planned a simple dinner with her, but it turned out to be a turning point of their friendship. Until now their friendship meant behaving casually with each other instead of formally but today there friendship meant accepting each other and creating an unbreakable trust in each other.

"Thank Trisha huh?" someone looked annoyed with hands on his hips, "Where is the part where you thank God for all this? You have any idea how much mehnat it took to bring the perfect timing for things? Goodness! Anyway I just can't enough of these adorable people in front of me..." he chuckled looking at the beautiful hug.

"Shall I drop you home now?" Kabir said looking at his watch as they sat in his living room a while later cracking the drug case. So finally Ananya told him about the case and they decided to sit down and work on it just to get distracted by it so they both could ignore the warmth of the hug.

"OMG! It's 1am already?" she made a shocked face looking at the clock. "Yes, please drop me. I have to go to office tomorrow; there is a meeting at 10!"

Kabir smiled, "Ananya tum shayad bhool gayi ki main bhi ussi office mein kaam karta hoon aur jis meeting ki tum baat kar rahi ho use coordinate bhi main karunga..."

"Oh haan!" she said biting her tongue, "Sorry! Acha ab chalein?"

As Kabir and Ananya settled in the car, someone smiled mischievously, "Ek aakhri baar kuch toh banta hai..." saying that he clicked his fingers and the seatbelt got stuck!

"Kya hua?" Kabir asked looking at Ananya struggle. "Pata nahi.." she said pouting.

"Main dekhta hoon..." he said moving towards her. His faces one inch apart from her, his hot breathe fanning her face, she closed her eyes gulping hard, and opened her eyes only to get lost in his again! Just then by mistake Kabir's foot touched the brake and the car jerked pushing Ananya in front placing her lips right on the side of his lips.

God almost fainted, "Phew! That was close!"


The rest of the journey remained quiet as both of them were lost in their own dreamland about each other, the tingling feeling of the incredible touch occupying their minds.

As they waved goodbye to each other, finally God pulled on his blanket. "Goodnight lovelies. I have to wake up tomorrow as I have a meeting at 10."

Well and we all know what job he has in the meeting! *wink wink*

KaYa TS: Her Trust, His Love

KaYa TS: Her Trust, His Love

Kabir sat down on the sofa sighing deeply. He felt empty, yes he stayed alone but today not his house but his heart felt empty. The curse of his past had come back to destroy his present and surprisingly the past had done a wonderful job! He had not spoken to Ananya since two days now.





Two days ago he had seen Ananya running out weeping from Shreya's cabin and before he could run after her she was gone. He walked in to Shreya's cabin to ask her what she had done when he had heard her laugh giving a Hi-5 to Malvika saying "Yeh toh gayi! Iska patta saaf!!" and the two most wicked women of his life broke into fits of laughter.
"Kya kiya tumne?" he roared at Shreya.
Shreya turned back and laughed, "Maine kya kiya?" she asked ignorantly sitting on her chair, "Sirf tumhara sach bata diya use, ki tumhari aadat hai apni juniors ke saath affair karna. Aur wo bhi tumhari sirf ek time pass hai..." and the next moment Shreya found herself in a standing up position due to extreme force and her face bent sidewards burning red with pain, Kabir had pulled her up and slapped her hard!
"How dare you?"
"Kabir, I'm your boss!" she shouted at him.
"Not anymore! I quit! And tumhe jo ukhadna hai ukhaad lo.." his voice dangerous, "Main Ananya se pyaar karta hoon samjhi tum? Aur pyaar ka matlab tum kabhi samjhogi hi nahi. You are the worst part of my past and I hate you. I hate the moment I met you and I think it was the worst moment of my life! My biggest mistake!" saying that he stormed off, almost running, to find his girl.
He stood at her doorstep ringing the bell but no one had opened the door so he returned home and kept calling Ananya again and again but she just wouldn't pick up. He had not slept that night, worried about her state more than he was worried she was misunderstanding him. He didn't want her to cry, ever, but she was miserable because of his past.
As soon as he woke up next morning he had rushed to her house again, only to see her crying in Ronnie's arms. He stepped back silently without entering her house, moving away he thought, she deserves better and Ronnie is a better choice for her, she needs a man without a scarred past so that she can be happy. With me she will always be over shadowed my dark past.
                                                                             



He sighed again, looking at his phone for the umpteenth time wishing for a call or message from her, even a blank message would do. Although he had decided to let her go, his heart wouldn't let her. He still had hope she might come back and ask him for answers. How he wished she had listened to his past when he wanted to open up to her, however she had insisted to live in the present as she couldn't change the past and she wasn't wrong either, she knew him very well that if he had recited his past then it would have reopened his wounds and she didn't want that to happen, she didn't want him to remember his past ever again. It wasn't her fault Afterall because least did she know that just when they had started living their beautiful present together, the past came right to their door knocking so hard blowing off all their happiness. To be honest for a moment he felt really hurt with Ananya for not trusting him, but he knew just how shrewd and manipulative Shreya was and Ananya was so pure and nave. Shreya was so hideous for playing with her innocence!

He took out the neatly folded paper out of his wallet which he always kept with himself no matter what, Afterall it was the first token of their love from her side, their drawing with "I love you" written on it. He slightly caressed the paper, smiling. She was the best thing that had ever happened to him and he had meant it, he would always remember her and love her, always!
He slowly refolded the paper and kept it back neatly in his wallet when he heard the doorbell ring. He looked at his watch skeptically, who could be there at this hour, it was almost about to strike. If it was Malvika with her stupid wine bottle again, he swore he would break the bottle on her head there itself!



He opened the door only to receive the biggest shock of his life; there stood Ananya completely drenched in the rain, shivering, she looked up at him and despite her face splashed with rain, he could tell she had been crying all the way and she still was, her eyes red and her breathing contained sobs more than shivering.

She looked at him for a few seconds, taking his beautiful frame in before breaking down, "I'm sorry! I'm so... so sorry for everything! The other day Shreya had called me to her cabin and she started telling me about you betraying her and now you are having time pass with me. I felt like slapping her right there. I told her that I trust you completely and then she started showing me some pictures from your past saying that those were your girlfriends and all in the past. I didn't believe her for a second but I felt miserable for not being able to defend you. I hated and cursed myself for not listening to your past earlier; if I had listened to you then I would have been able to tell her off right there and then. I was angry on myself for not being able to defend you, my love in front of a woman who was trying to defame you. I just ran off because I couldn't register what to say or do at that moment. I didn't go home straight, for the first time I went to the mandir to calm myself down and trying to think what to do to clear your name..." she sobbed trying to grasp more breath and continued, "You were calling me but I couldn't answer because I knew you would ask me questions and I didn't know how to answer you and I didn't want to hurt you in any way by telling you what all Shreya had said. Yesterday Ronnie came to meet me and he asked me not to cry and he said he knew someone who could help me to clear your name and we met that person and I gathered enough proof to prove you innocent. I am just coming back from Shreya's house slapping her with all the proof of your innocence..."

She now cried even more loudly asking him to forgive her, "I am really mmm..." Ananya couldn't speak any longer as she found herself pinned to the wall and his lips had captured hers, he was kissing her senseless! She could feel the passion flying as he deepened the kiss and guided her hands to his neck which he had pinned to the wall earlier. His grip on her waist now tightened and she buried one hand in his hair pulling him closer the other behind his neck. He wasn't letting her go for even one second to regain breath, he was kissing her like he had missed her from a thousand years instead of two days, he kissed her pouring all his love, hurt, care, anger and passion on her, and she wasn't even complaining! *wink*


He finally let her go when they literally couldn't breathe anymore and he took exactly three seconds to regain his breath and take her into a bone crashing hug making Ananya pleasantly surprised. After being satisfied with having her in his arms he finally released her only to pick her up and take her to his bedroom. He provided her with a pair of clothes to change in and went to the kitchen to make her some hot chocolate and something to eat, he could see just how drained she looked. The last two days had been hell for her. She had bared it all alone, he had given up on her but she had held onto him, she loved him despite all odds and yes her trust was still intact as she had promised. Ananya could see the oft smile playing on his lips while he was working in the kitchen silently as she came out wiping her hair with a towel. He looked up at her and his eyes remained fixed on her, she looked absolutely gorgeous!
Wearing his white t-shirt and black pants, face free of make-up and wet tousled hair making her look ethereal! His breath was caught in his throat when she smiled at him and raised her eyebrows asking what he was looking at. He came out of the trance and continued making the sandwich. She looked at him and smiled in content, he looked so handsome in the black t-shirt and pants, she didn't know someone could look so damn handsome in casuals and she just couldn't believe her luck that this dangerously handsome man belonged to her!

She settled on the sofa, tired but satisfied. She slowly leaned in and lied down on the sofa waiting for him. He came with a tray and smiled at her. He sat down in the little space in the sofa in front of her stomach, placing his hand on her forehead he caressed it lightly, "Had a really long day, didn't you? I'm sure you haven't eaten properly. Eat this and I will drop you home. You need sleep."

"I'm not going anywhere." Ananya replied softly and he looked at her confused, "Matlab?"

"I don't want to stay alone tonight. Ma and Armaan went to Chennai. Can I stay here for tonight?" she asked half sleepy.
"Sure!" he glowed, "Afterall this is your house too although future house but I don't mind you getting accustomed to it soon." He winked at her and then asked seriously, "What about your mom? Wont she be angry?"
"I had told you earlier, it was a work in progress na? So now the work is complete. She trusts you as much as I trust you and she loves you as much as she loves me!"
Kabir felt like he was the luckiest man on earth!

"Okay! Now sit up and eat..." he said making her sit and fed her with his hands while she fed him saying, "You haven't eaten too na since two days?" he could see the warmth and concern in her eyes.

"How could I? My life was not talking to me... since two days I thought I lost you and you expect me to eat?" he asked softly making her drink the hot chocolate after blowing it a few times. She realized he had got only one cup and she thought why didn't he bring one for himself and then she saw him sip from the same cup. She was touched by his beautiful gesture of love!

After they finished feeding each other, he took her in his arms and placed her on the slab beside the sink making her wash her hands and patted it dry then he collected the dishes from the living room and washed them, all the while smiling as he saw her adoring him.

"Meri aadatein mat bigaadiye! Warna humesha saare kaam aap hi ko karna padega..." she teased him, chuckling as he washed his hands after finishing the dishes.
He came to her smiling, "I don't mind! Tumhara sirf ek kaam hoga..." he leaned in and whispered, "Mujhe pyaar karna... Zindagi bhar..."




He tucked her in into his bed and got up to go to the guest room when she held his hand, "Kya hua?" he asked slowly.
"Mainse aap se kya kaha tha?"
"Ki you don't want to be alone tonight..."

"Exactly!" asying that she sat up and put one pillow away placing the other one right in the middle of the bed. She slowly pulled him onto the bed and pulled over the blanket over them, making him lay his head on one half of the pillow and laying on the other half, their faces few inches apart.

"Ananya tumhe lagta hai yeh acha idea hai? Tum mere itne kareeb rahogi aur main..." he barely whispered as she placed her finger on his lips hushing him.

"Sshhh..." she closed his eyes with her hands and then began tracing the lines on his forehead, his cheeks, his eyes, his lips and his chin when she felt his grip on her waist tighten and she smiled, "Let it go... let all your worries and your tensions go... free yourself from your past... free yourself from all the guilt... just feel the love...our love... you deserve all the happiness in the world... nobody will separate us ever and I will always keep you happy... I promise..."


That day he had made the first move and confessed and today Ananya had spoken from her side, he looked at her touched with her words and simple gesture to make him close his eyes and feel the love. She came forward and pecked his lips slowly then engulfing in each other's arms they fell asleep, in the most peaceful sleep of all time, with a promise of a bright morning showering happiness upon them.

KaYa TS Part 2: Her Trust, His Love!

Kabir shifted in his sleep, unable to move he slowly opened his eyes feeling something soft really close to him. He rubbed his eyes not believing it was Ananya sleeping beside him, then all the memories of the previous night came rushing to his mind, making him smile. His eyes took in her beautiful frame, her gorgeous face looking so peaceful, her lips looked so soft and slightly swollen from the passionate kiss he had given her yesterday, moving his eyes across her body, his eyes widened as he saw her top, or his t-shirt which she was wearing had drifted upwards in her sleep exposing her milky flat midriff. Kabir had a sudden urge to touch her waist and kiss it and he gulped hard to stop himself from giving in to his desires.
"Aap ko mujhe choone ke liye... permission nahi chahiye..." he heard Ananya mumble, he saw her open her eyes and smile, shifting a bit to face him better. "Goodmorning!" she said happily, her sleepy voice is so seductive, he thought.
"Tum kab jaagi?" he asked slightly embarrassed.
"Jab aap mujhe check out kar rahe the tab..." she chuckled making Kabir turn beet root red. He tried getting up but she held his shoulders and pulled him slightly onto herself. She traced her fingers from his shoulder to his hand and slowly placed it on her stomach. He looked into her eyes and felt like crying, with tears of joy, he could see so much of warmth, love, affection and most importantly implicit trust in her eyes. He kissed both her eyes and smiled at her, mumbling, "What did I ever do to deserve you?"
"I can say the same about you..." she kissed his forehead softly, "I still can't believe my lucky stars!" she added smiling; he looked so emotional yet delighted. She didn't want him to cry so she decided to lighten the mood. "Waise jab main so rahi thi tab toh badaa check out kar rahe the par ab jab jag gayi hoon toh kuch nahi kar rahe?" she raised her eyebrows teasingly.
"Kart oh main bahot kuch sakta hoon..." he said in a challenging tone, caressing her waist making Ananya gasp and grab his shoulder more tightly. "Dar gayi?" he smiled victoriously.
Looking at him smile victoriously, Ananya made a mental note of "Challenge Accepted Mr. Sharma!" She pulled him fiercely crashing his lips on her hers, for the first time making the great Kabir Sharma gasp! It took him a few moments to register that she was kissing him ferociously but as soon as he recovered from the shock he responded with equal passion. They broke apart when both of them struggled to regain their breath, and Kabir is way too quick in regaining composure than Ananya. Within 2 seconds he was kissing her neck, placing butterfly kisses on her collar bone and shoulders, her hand buried in his hair pulling him closer. As he left her neck he gave in to his desire and placed butterfly kisses all over her stomach making her squirm with anticipation, she loved every bit of his sweet assault. She pulled him back up to face her and looked into his eyes for a brief second before smiling mischievously saying, "My turn!" with that she rolled and now she was on top of him.

She attacked his kips once again but left him anticipating for more as she moved to his neck, her hands exploring his chiseled chest was making him go crazy, he thanked God he was a wearing a shirt, because a direct contact would have killed him right now! She came back up to his lips and pecked it, making him groan for all the teasing as she kissed his earlobe and whispered, "You're so hot Mr. Sharma!" and instantly she was pinned down beneath him and he was kissing her wildly, looking up in her eyes he said, "I can say the same about you Ms. Kashyap!" and winked.
"Ab bahut pyaar kar liya, itna thakaa diya aapne ki mujhe bahot zor ki bhook lag gayi hai..." she whined sitting cross legged on the bed.
"Okay, give me 10 minutes. I'll brush and then prepare breakfast," he said getting up kissing her forehead.
"You won't bath?" she asked teasingly, pretending to make a face. He came dangerously close to her and whispered, "Toh tum nehla do..."
She got alarmed and pushed him, "Nahi nahi! Aap ko nahi nahana toh mat nahaiye par mujhe nahana hai..."

He chuckled, "Mazaak kar raha tha, and for your kind information maine 10 mins isliye kaha tha ki mujhe sirf brush karne ke liye 10 minutes nahi lagte, Dus minute brush karne, nahane ka, kapde pehenne ka total tha... Par mujhe nahi pata tha ki tumhe detail mein jaanana tha..."
"Abhi se aapki aadatein jaan lungi toh aage chalkar aasani hogi..." she flashed him a genuine smile. He cupped her face with one palm and smiled, then walked up to his cupboard and pulled out a pair of his clothes and a towel, handing it to her he said, "Tum yahan naha lo.. I will use the guest room..."

Saying that he left a blushing Ananya, not only his naughtiness but his concern, love, passion, eyes and simply everything about him made her blush, and right now she was blushing at the fact that she was in his clothes, in his bedroom, going to use his bathroom, his shower gel, his towel and re-wear his clothes! OMG! Was she not about to die of shyness already!

Ananya toasted the bread and applied butter while he made coffee and omelette, sneaking glances at Ananya working chirpily. She made his house a home with her presence, it felt so much livelier and he had never been so excited for having breakfast before haha! Their first breakfast together!

They settled down to eat and Ananya tasted the omelette and coffee, "Yum! Kabir aap bahut acha khana banate hain. Dil karta hai ma ki tarha aap ki bhi haat chum loon..." she muttered totally in love with the taste.
"Sach?" Kabir chuckled, a compliment had never made him happier than he was today by her simple genuine compliments. "Much," she replied and slowly took his palms and kissed them softly one after the other. He looked at her with eyes full of love, he felt like he was going to burst with the amount of love flowing out of his heart for this girl. If only one day with her is so beautiful, the rest of my life is going to be a fairytale, thought Kabir. He already planned a proposal for her in his mind, he just didn't want to be away from her now, ever!


During the evening, they sat down watching a movie when the doorbell rang. It was Khalid and Malvika.
"Kaun hai?" asked Ananya walking towards the door as Kabir stood there still deciding to let Malvika in or not. Malvika was sheer shocked when she saw Ananya in Kabir's house and as her eyes wandered over Ananya, Malvika's blood boiled as she realized she was in Kabir's clothes. Ananya strolled to Kabir and entwined her hand with Kabir's.

"Please come in Khalid sir." Ananya flashed a warm smile at him. As Khalid stepped in Malvika too attempted to step in but Kabir stopped her, "She said, Khalid come in! So goodbye Malvika!" saying that he turned around and slammed the door on her face!
"Khalid, coffee?" Kabir casually asked walking in to his living room.

"No, no Kabir! Main yahan coffe peene nahin aya hoon. All I want to know is ki tumne resign kardia KKN  se? Kyun? Why the bloody damn did you resign?" he asked pissed and worried at the same time. Ananya was shocked to hear that! Kabir had resigned? Why!

Khalid spoke again breaking her thoughts, "Oh Kabir! Please tum aise muskuraya mat karo. Maine pehle bhi kaha tha ki jab tak tum shabdon mein bayaan nahi karte tab tak hume pata kasie chalega ki tumhare dimaag mein kya chal raha hai..." his voice portrayed he had already melted when Kabir smiled, he was no longer pissed, just worried now.

Kabir smiled as he handed over the coffee to Khalid, "Dekho Khalid, jahan par Anana ko pareshaan karne ka game khela jata hai wahan nai main rahunga aur na Ananya." He replied calmly.

So he quit for her!

Kabir saw Ananya shocked and flashed a small but reassuring smile.

"Kabir your resignation has not been accepted and neither yours Ananya!" Khalid announced chuckling, "By the way nice attire Ananya!" he smiled while sipping his coffee making Ananya blush for a moment. He continued, "Waise tum dono ke khayalat kitne milte hain. Kabir quits because he thinks he won't work where people don't respect Ananya and Ananya quits because she thinks she won't work where people don't respect Kabir!"
"Ananya resigned too?" he gave a questioning look to Khalid.
"And our resignation has not been accepted?" Ananya questioned him.

Khalid laughed and replied, "Yes. Tum dono kal se wapas kaam par aa rahe ho. And don't worry now everything will be back to normal. Shreya has resigned for the post of the director and the merger is liquidated. The company again solely belongs to KL."

Kabir and Ananya were beyond shocked. So much had happened in just one day! Before leaving Khalid gave a CD to Kabir, "Shreya gave this to you both!"

After Khalid went, they played the CD and Shreya popped up, "Hi! Uhm Kabir, Ananya I am really sorry for everything. Main khud aakar kehna chahti thi par... kaise kahun... himmat hi nahi thi tum dono se nazar milaane ki.. I am sorry Kabir I came back to your life because I got jealous that you had moved on in life and were successful and happy while I was successful but not happy. I was lonely and wanted you to come back to me but I was wrong! You deserve Ananya. She is an angel. I would have said she is much much much better than me but then that would mean I am comparing her with myself and honestly I have done such a cheap thing that I can never be compared with a pure soul like Ananya... And Ananya I am sorry for everything I said and did to you... Just to rectify 1% of my mistake I am leaving absolutely no powers with Malvika, though she is the owner's daughter she is nothing more than a regular employee now and she won't be able to go around throwing tantrums and plotting against you both. I have spoken to KL already. So please both of you, I know I am not forgivable but please if you forgive me even one bit then resume your normal life and join KKN again, when you go back everything there will be just as beautiful and happy as it was before I entered your life. Sorry and Thank you for listening to my apology. Best of luck ahead in your life! Wish you both a very happy and successful life together!" with that she smiled and the video turned blank, it was blank but white not black, the color of the screen signifying all the darkness from there life was now gone.

"Ananya yeh Shreya itna badal kaise gayi? How did you prove me innocent?" he asked skeptically not being able to believe that Shreya had such a huge change of heart over-night.

Ananya cupped his face and made him sit down and began, "The other day when she had shown me the photographs, I had mistakenly taken a few of them with me which had been in my hands. When Ronnie came to see me, he saw the photographs and saw the name of the studio behind the photo and we went to the studio... from there we found that the photos were printed a few days ago but it was printed from an old reel and only one company made those types of reels. We went to that company... since the photos were old the date of the original photos, were on the photos itself and they checked the date in their register and gave us an address. We went to that address and it belonged to a private investigator, I showed him the photo and he looked regretful. He said it was the first and last time in his life he had done something wrong to earn money..." she breather trying to read his face, he was listening intently, his face portraying a bit of shock and amusement maybe with the fact that she had gone to that extent for him, she continued, "He told us that Shreya had given him a huge amount of money to take photos of you with every girl around you with whom you were comfortable with and she had also paid some girl to try and get extra close to you so she can have false proof against you. She wanted to get rid of you because she was the one actually having an affair and her parents had forced her to marry you..." she looked at him, he looked so hurt! He was looking away and she could see tears swim in his eyes.

"Kabir please speak to me!" she compelled, not wanting him to keep the hurt inside him.

He breathed hard, "8 years! 8 godamn years! I kept thinking it was my fault that I was friendly with everyone and that's why she misunderstood me and I thought it was my fault that I was a failure! But she! She killed the innocence and life in me for her benefit; she could have told me the truth and asked me for a divorce our marriage was only one month old and we had not shared any sort of physical relationship because I was giving her space as I was not in love with her because it was an arranged marriage, so I would have freed her! But she decided to ruin my life! Because of her I built so many walls around myself and restricted myself from being happy. I worked day and night like a robot to make myself feel better about myself but I lost myself while doing that and when finally I found love and happiness in you she had come back to ruin me! Again!"

"Sshhh! It's okay," she said placing his head on her chest letting him cry for a while. After a while she settled his head on her lap and now was caressing his hair lovingly, while he closed his eyes laying in peace.

"Are you okay?" she asked him tenderly.

"Hmmm..." he whispered then opened his eyes to see her beautiful smile, "You did so much for me. I could never imagine someone going to such great extent for me!"

"Sshhh! What makes you think you don't deserve everything? You are the most deserving person in my life. No one could have been better than you. I love you just like you love me, let me repeat I love you more than I love myself!" she winked.

Finally he laughed, "Copycat!" and both broke into fits of laughter.
