KaYa OS: Happy Holi!

KaYa OS: Happy Holi!

 

“Love is like fire, a fire that rages through the hearts of two people burning their souls in the craving for each other, craving for togetherness.”

“Kabir, where are you?” asked Khalid desperately, “I told you this is not only a simple Holi party but an attempt to impress foreign investors to our culture so that we can expand KKN to foreign countries.”

“Yes Khalid, I know! It’s just that I got caught up with new leads. I will be there soon don’t worry!” Kabir reassured him, keeping the phone.

Khalid had organized a Holi party at his house; he believed it would be an incentive for his staff who worked really hard and also an opportunity to attract more foreign investors to expand their business. He knew foreigners loved the Indian culture, a culture so uniting and colorful. The uniqueness and authenticity was already evident but Khalid needed Kabir to elaborate more on that, but Kabir was late! Khalid looked around and saw Malvika; he could see she was pretending to improve after she was exposed by Ananya and friends but somehow he knew that she was upto something, the cruel determined face that she had. Khalid shook his head in shame, this woman was a complete shame to his channel.

Kabir walked in and Khalid laughed, looking at all the girls reactions to the hunk in a simple white kurta-pajama and he could tell the girls were ready to lay their hearts in his feet but he saw Kabir’s eyes searching. Searching for a special someone! Khalid chuckled and mumbled, “Love! Love! Love! Who knew love could make this serious and professional editor-in-chief a person full of emotions!”

“Hi Khalid!” Kabir walked upto him and smiled.

Khalid laughed and said in his usual flirty tone, “Oh Kabir! Aaj hi nahi Happy Holi kehna hai…” saying that they hugged and Kabir went with him to greet the foreign investors. They seemed quite impressed by Kabir, suddenly his phone rang. It was Laxman, he wanted to give information about the lead Kabir was working on but due to the noise and all songs being played loudly, he couldn’t hear anything so he excused himself and walked into Khalid’s posh house. He walked through the corridors to find a secluded place to talk and as he passed by one open room, one second later he returned to re-look at what he had seen while passing by. Kabir was left stumped, rooted to his spot. He saw Ananya standing in front of the mirror trying to tie the bandhan of her blouse, while her sari was scattered on the floor. It hit him, she was in a petticoat and blouse only!

Kabir was left stumped by the strikingly gorgeous beauty in front of him! His phone slipped from his hand, and the noise made Ananya look up in surprise! She gasped when she saw Kabir staring at her in amazement. Hearing her gasp, Kabir came back to reality, picking up his phone he told Laxman he would call later as he something more important to do and saying that came  in and closed the door, locking it securely.

He walked up to Ananya slowly, he could see her getting shy and his heart was beating fast. As he stood in front of her she turned around, “Aap yeh baandh denge please? Bahot der se koshish kar rahi hoon…”

Kabir removed her hair and placed it on one side, in the process caressing her back, making Ananya closing her eyes, breathing hard. She was not a usual shy type girl but right now, in this situation she felt extremely nervous. Kabir slowly took the dori from her hands and tied it. Having tied the dori, he traced from her neck to her waistline and Ananya shivered. He held her by the shoulders and pulled her closer, and whispered in her ears, “Yakeen hi nahi hota… Ki tum meri ho…” Ananya blushed and moved away getting shy from the proximity.

A sudden realization dawned on Kabir, “Ananya why are you in such a state here? And why didn’t you lock the door? What if someone else had seen you like this? You should have worn the sari from home!” he was angry but she understood it was because he was scared about her, and yes looking at her disheveled state he was bound to confused and angry.

She turned around and pouted at him cutely complaining, “Main sari ghar se hi pehen kar aayi thi! Magar wo Malvika she stepped on my sari and it almost opened, so I came running to find an empty room to avoid any embarrassment, and while running I bumped into a vase and my dori opened…. I got so scared that I absolutely forgot to close the door! I am sorry…” she concluded apologetically.

Kabir looked at her sensitively, she always had to go through so much because of Malvika, yet she stood strong every single time. Even today, she wasn’t cursing Malvika or anything; it seemed Ananya had already forgiven her. He smiled as he saw her biting her finger, while she looked at the sari in her other, trying to figure out from where to wear it. Cuteness overloaded, his mind told him!

“Ab main kya karungi?” she looked at him horrified, “Mujhe toh sari pehenni aati hi nahi! Ghar pe ma ne pehna diya tha par yahan? Richa ka phone bhi nahi lag raha hai aur usne kaha tha ki wo aaj late aayegi… ab kya?” she whined.

Kabir hesitated but spoke up, “Uh main pehnaun?”

“Kya? Aap? Aap ko sari pehenni aati hai??” she looked at him wide eyed.

“Haan wo ek baar sting operation ka disguise tha.” He told her, a bit embarrassed and he was right the next instant she began laughing. “Ananya agar tum hasogi toh main jar aha hoon..” he said annoyed and turned around to leave but she caught his hand and smiled turning him around, “Acha sorry!” she held her ears.

Kabir smiled and picked up her sari from the ground, finding the end of her sari, he brought it to her navel and tucked it in. Ananya gasped loudly and her eyes widened, making Kabir realize what he had done. He stood there frozen, his hand still tucked in her petticoat touching waistline. He gulped hard, “ I am sorry… Did i?”

Her eyes shot up, “No! it’s okay it’s my waistline… thankfully…” she told him in a low voice looking away, blushing.

“I am so sorry!” Kabir apologized again, “ I didn’t realize what I was doing.” He told Ananya earnestly.

She looked at him and smiled, then took a step forward, “It’s okay Kabir! Nothing as such happened for which you have to apologize. Plus you have the right to touch me. Aap ka haq hai…” she nodded her head asking him if he was assured and Kabir just smiled in response, too spellbound by her complete faith in him.

Kabir went down on his knees and began tucking the sari around her waist, asking her to keep turning slowly. After completing one circle, Ananya was standing really close to Kabir, her navel in line with his lips. Kabir looked at her, she was still blushing. He held her waist softly and placed a kiss on her bellybutton, Ananya grasped his shoulder tightly, eyes closed her head shot up at this soft yet very intimate contact with him, and he began placing butterfly kisses all over stomach. Ananya buried her other hand in his hair, breathing hard at his sweet assault. Kabir looked up at her with tender eyes, she was divine. So pure and heavenly.

Kabir got up slowly while Ananya opened her eyes and looked at him lovingly, he held her sari and took four steps back, never breaking their beautiful eyes contact. He began plating her sari and walked slowly toward her with each plait he created. After completing the plaits, he looked at her silently as if asking for her permission. Ananya looked at him in awe, he was such a gentleman! What had she done to deserve, such a pure guy like him? she thought. Smiling, she nodded her head in agreement and he tucked it in gently, all the while their eyes gazing into each other’s lovingly.

 He created her pallu and pinned it to her blouse, having done so, he two steps back and had a good look at her, being satisfied with his work, he walked upto her and kissed her forehead, “Aisa lag raha hai jaise seedhe aasmaan se utar kar aayi ho Ananya… Mujhe marne ka irada hai kya?” he complimented her genuinely.

“Haan… Irada toh hai…” Ananya said winding her arms around his neck, as his hands automatically wind around her waist, “Par…” she said coming closer to his lips, making him close his eyes, “Aapko rang lagaane ka…” and she ran away laughing, Kabir opened his eyes only to find Ananya standing outside the room, showing her tongue to him, she ran away leaving a smiling Kabir behind.

Ananya joined Ronnie and Richa while Kabir walked back to Khalid after speaking to Laxman. The Holi party began in full swing and everyone was enjoying. Ananya looked at Kabir, he was busy talking to the foreign clients, and he is so damn hot! like God sent him to conquer the entire female fraternity, thought Ananya. She still didn’t believe this belonged to her and loved her more than he loved himself! She looked around and saw admiring eyes, checking Kabir out and she felt jealous.

Ananya instantly texted him, “Enjoying all the female attention sir?”

“Matlab?” came the reply.

“Look around!” she texted back and saw him have a look around.

A few seconds later her phone beeped, “I can only see guys admiring the woman I love, least do they know she is mine!” and Ananya had to smile, realization dawned onto her that he was equally jealous, just like she noticed girls around him reacting to Kabir and didn’t notice guys checking her out, similarly Kabir didn’t notice his female fan following but noticed the guys who checked her out, he was so sweet!

Everyone was playing colors, while Kabir stood aside and watched, Malvika walked upto him and tried to apply color on his cheek when Kabir stopped her, he nodded negatively, “Nahi Malvika! Thank you!” he told her, Malvika tried to argue but he told her to excuse him, Ananya smiled looking at this. Although they were standing far away, she could still tell Kabir was irritated with Malvika.

Kabir looked at Ananya. She was having a soft drink while she laughed with Ronnie and Rica. He saw Manav approach her and asked her if he could apply color on her, Ananya refused politely and he went away sulking, Ananya sighed in relief while her friends laughed at Manav. After a few minutes, Ronnie and Richa were dragged by Baby and Trisha to play colors. They refused but Trisha had insisted saying Khalid sir had given her a special invitation to be able to enjoy with them the last time, Ananya promised to join them in a while.

“Kabir tum nahi khel rahe?” asked Khalid approaching Kabir with a soft drink in his hand for both of them.

“Thanks.” Kabir thanked him for the soft drink, “ Nahi abhi mera mann nahi hai…” he said sipping the drink. He looked at Ananya again, only to find her missing from where she was standing, he assumed she went to play with her friends. A pang of disappointment came to his heart, he wanted them to be the first to apply the colors to each other as this was their first Holi together!

Khalid excused himself and Kabir stood alone for a while.

“Kabir sir, aapko Khalid sir ne andar bulaya hai…” the peon told him.

“Abhi toh baat kit hi, ab kya kaam aagaya?” asked Kabir.

“Pata nahi…par wo bula rahe hain…” he told Kabir.

“Theek hai.” Kabir walked inside the house, he was passing through the corridor when suddenly he was pulled inside a room and pinned to the wall.

“Hi Handsome!” Ananya smiled mischievously, raising her eyebrows.

Kabir sighed, “Kya kar rahi ho… dara diya mujhe…” he smiled leaning his head on the wall, sighing in relief.

Ananya brought her hand forward and he saw handful of pink color, “Humari pehli Holi hai. Toh ek dusre ko rang pehla rang lagane ka haq hai humara…” she told him excitedly, and he smiled, she was such a sweetheart!

They both took a bit of color and applied it lightly to each other’s left cheek. Kabir kissed her right cheek and said, “Happy Holi, Ananya. may spend every Holi together.” Ananya kissed his right cheek too, “Happy Holi Kabir. Hum dono humesha ek dusre isi tarah beintehaa pyaar karein…”

“Waada!” promised Kabir.

“Waada!” reciprocated Ananya.

Ananya insisted Kabir to play Holi with the staff, as it was one day no decorum needed to be maintained. He gladly agreed, she was successfully breaking all the walls that he had created around himself. Everyone was enjoying themselves dancing to Balam Pickari. Everyone and most of all Ananya was shocked to see Kabir dancing to the beat so perfectly, he looked delicious half drenched with colors as he danced. Colors were flying high and so were the sparks between Kabir and Ananya, Malvika fumed looking at them dancing together happily. She had a plan on her mind and she smirked as she mixed some bhang with the thandai. She gave it to random people to go and offer it to Kabir and Ananya.

“Kabir nashe mein hoga toh main usko kamrein mein lekar jaungi aur pretend karungi ki humare beech kuch hua hai, he will be compelled to be with me. Aur agar Ananya nashe mein hogi toh Kabir ko bachaegi kaise…” she smirked, thinking of her plan.

As per Malvika’s plan both Kabir and Ananya were drunk, she dragged Kabir somehow to an empty room saying that Khalid was calling them. Upon reaching the room Kabir collapsed on the bed and Malvika smirked. Just then Trisha was passing by and she felt something was wrong when she saw Kabir completely unconscious and Malvika smiling evilly standing beside the bed then Trisha saw Ananya stumbling while walking. Trisha’s mind clouded with doubt, neither Kabir nor Ananya had bhang then how come both of them were drunk and she understood instantly it was Malvika’s plan. She quickly went in the room, “Malvika!” Trisha shouted.

“Kya hua??” Malvika asked shocked!

“Wo Manav sir aapko bula rahe hain. Wo ro rahe hain… Please jaldi chaliye…” she used Manav’s name because he was actually doing drama after getting drunk but he hadn’t called for Malvika.

“Abhi?” she didn’t want to let this golden opportunity slip from her hand.

“Haan jaldi chaliye please warna humare channel ki reputation kharaab ho jayegi…” Trisha said pulling her hand dragging her, “Aap ko toh pata hai kitne saare foreign investors aaye huwe hain…” Trisha sent Malvika out of the house and ran to Ananya, she thought for a few moments what to do then an idea struck her mind!

She took Ananya and made her lie on the other side of the bed in which Kabir was already sleping. Then before moving out she locked the door to refain Malvika or anyone else from entering and seeing them like this. After that Trisha ran to Khalid, “Sir, lagta hai Malvika ne Kabir sir aur Ananya ko bhang pila diya hai.. Both are unconscious… Aur jis room mein Malvika Kabir sir ko lekar gayi thi maine wahin par Ananya ko bhi sula kar room lock kardia hai… Please aaj wo room mat kholiyega.. log unhe saath dekhenge toh galat samjhenge…. Unka naam bewajah kharaab…. Let them be your guests till they rehain consciousness sir… Please!” Trisha pleaded in front of Khalid.

“Ofcourse Trisha don’t worry!” Khalid re-assured her that nothing will happen.

Ananya was still trying to get up with a heavy head, when she saw Kabir lying beside her. She looked at him affectionately; he looked so cute while sleeping. She pulled his cheeks and he stirred, Ananya pulled the blankets over them and slept snuggling into him while as if he acknowledging her presence wrapped his arm around her.

As the sun rays hit their eyes, both Kabir and Ananya opened their eyes. “Ouch!” Ananya said her head feeling very heavy. They both looked at their surroundings and found that they were in each other’s arms and in an unfamiliar place.

“Hum yahan? Aise?” Ananya asked Kabir skeptically, finding it difficult to get up. Kabir held his head, trying to remember what had happened, but he couldn’t, he could just feel his head being heavy, “Pata nahi Ananya…”

Just then Ananya’s phone rang, it was Trisha. She answered and Trisha asked her to put the phone on speaker. Upon doing that she narrated the entire story to Kabir and Ananya, and they both were extremely thankful to Trisha for saving them. He had done it again; she had become their savior for the second time. Their personal cupid! They couldn’t be thankful enough and Kabir promised he would throw another dinner party for her soon, earning a giggle from Trisha who said all was cool and thanked him for the kind gesture again.

Ananya and Kabir laid down again, sighing in relief that they had been saved from Malvika again. A thought struck in Ananya’s mind, “Waise humne kal nashe mein kuch…” she left the sentence hanging not sure how to complete it.

“Nahi Ananya! jaise Trisha ne bataya main already behosh ho chukka tha…” he re-assured her, then a question popped up in his mind, Kabir turned around and was slightly on top of Ananya, “Agar kuch hua hota toh aaj tum mujhse gussa hoti aur regret karti?” he asked softly yet his voice vulnerable.

“Nahi…” she said cupping his cheek with her right hand, smiling she told him, “Par haan thora disappoint hoti… kyunki main chahti hoon ki jab hum apne pyaar ko agle kadam mein leke jayein tab hum pure hosh-o-hawaaz mein ho… taaki humara first time special ho… aur hume yaad rahe zindagi bhar… yun nashe ke halat mein nahi…” she pouted.

Kabir was touched by her innocence, “Aur main bhi chahta hoon ki humara agla kadam pure rasmon riwazon ke baad ho…. Humare zindagi ka sabse special moment!” he told her sincerely kissing her forehead.

“I love you!” said Ananya, hugging him.

“I love you too!” he said feeling on top of the world!

With that they walked down together to thank Khalid for his hospitality.
