Kabir's cabin:
Several work files lay open, as Kabir leafed through his personal brown leather diary, where he made his own notes on his leads...
He worked away fervently or was at least trying to anyway...but Ananya's sweet, beautiful smiling face was his biggest distraction...
He was truly blessed with the most beautiful & woman in the universe...
Flashes of their intimate moments last night came before, turning him red...
He was drunk, yet could completely forget uniting with his love forever...
He vowed again to protect the glorious, externally & internally beautiful woman in his life...his Ananya...not Manav's not Ronnie's...just his...to love, cherish & love more...
Just as he was lost in thoughts, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist & cool lipstick coated lips pressed against his neck...
K: Ananya...baby...
Kabir began but stopped short when he realised that this wasn't his wife's warm touch...
He whirled around, sending the woman behind him back in alarm...
Kabir was horrified to fund Malvika giving him a sultry look...
She pressed against him, trying to loop her arms around his neck & kiss his cheek, but Kabir moved away...disgusted completely...
K: what the hell are tou doing, Malvika?
He cried out...outraged...
Malvika smiled at him after sighing...
Mal: oh C'mon Kabir! Vo junior reporter ab yaha nahi hai! You don't need to pretend in front of me...even though tum dono ke beech kuch nahi hai...tum husband hone ke naate apni duty karna chahte ho...I know Kabir that you are a good man...I know that you want me & not her...tum use apna naam dekar ehsaan kar rahe ho uspar...
Is she serious?
Kabir thought...how could he not want his glorious, pretty, intelligent, smart...well the list went on & on, wife...
He loved Ananya dearly...why would he want Malvika then?
He could never even dream of it...
He opened his mouth to clear Malvika's misunderstanding but Malvika placed a finger on his lips...making Kabir jump away as if burnt...
Mal: C'mon Kabir! Don't worry! If you think ki usse dump ksrke tumhaari image aur position par asar padega tohn...main hoon na...papa hume finance karenge...tum KKN ke maalik ban jaoge...owner ke damaad...aur vo Ananya...kuch nahi karpaayegi...she's just a gold digger...use tumhaare paiso aur position mein interest hai...aakhir iss desh ki aisi konsi ladki hai jo Kabir Sharma ki biwi nahi banna chahti?
I want you so much Kabir...you're so hot, happening & se*y!
Tum desh ke sabse bade Editor ho, socho agar hum dono milgaye toh iss professional dunia mein kaha se kaha pohonch jaayenge!
Malvika went to insult Ananya in the crudest of words...turning Kabir redder & redder each moment...
His general respect for womankind was what was keeping his patience on a theeadbare atleast...preventing him from erupting like a volcano...
Finally, Malvika leaned forward to kiss him this time & Kabir lost it conpletely...a furious Kabir pushed her away...
K: DO. NOT. TOUCH. ME!
He thundered, making Malvika flinch for once...
Mal: Kabir...
She began...
K: No...
Mal: but...
She protested...
K: I said No dammit!
Kabir cut off her protest angrily. ...
K: aaj tumne saari hade paar karli Malvika...tumne meri Ananya ki jo insult ki hai, aur mujhpar jo...chiii...I can't even say it...disgusting! iski keemat ab KKN ko chukaani hogi...
He said with a determined look...turning to her again, he added...
K: Now listen very carefully Malvika...
He began in a dreadfully calm voice that made Malvika shiver...
K: Ms Ananya Kashyap...noe Mrs Ananya KABIR Sharma is MY wife...humaari shaadi ko bohot jald ek saal poora hojaayega...ye shaadi nibhaakar main uspar ehsaan nahi vo mujhpar ehsaan kar rahi hai...mujhe meri gakatiyon, past aur flaws ke bawajood accept kiya hai usne...bina kisi expectations ke mujhse pyaar kiya...humaara rishta toh dhoke se bana tha...phir bhi use poori shiddat se nibhaaya...mauka diya mujhe apna pyaar saabit karne ka...
Mal: Kabir listen...
She trued yet again...a little weakly but Ksbur held up a hand...
K: No, you listen Malvika...I LOVE my wife...main Ananya se bohot pyaar karta hoon...she's the most beautiful woman in the world for me...
I love Ananya, I always have...jabse maine pehli baar apne college ke bahar dekha tha...I loved her when we did that event together...I loved her when we got married...I loved her when she joined KKN...I loved her when she gave me a second chance...and I still love her...so much...and I will continue to love her...
Uspar koi ungli uthaaye...ye main kabhi bardasht nahi karunga...vo ungli hi tod kar phenk dunga...
Malvika tumne uss ek insaan ke liye jisse main dunia mein savse zyaada pyaar karta hoon, jisne humesha mujhe bina expectations ke pyaar kiya hai...uske khilaaf bohot bure, cruel shabd use kiye hai...aise shabd jo main zehen main bhi laana pasand nahi karta...you have called her unacceptable names...
Main sirf aur sirf apni biwi se pyaar karta hoon...tumse nahi...you disgust me Malvika...
I belong to Ananya NOT you!
He snapped the last few words...
Malvika reached out to him...her voice nervous & fright filled...
K: door raho, please...
Kabir held up a hand...resisting his urge to throw up...
Without another word, Kabir stormed out of his own cabin...leaving behind a frustrated Malvika to yank at ger own hair & stomp at the rejection...
******
A while later...
Khalid's cabin:
K: Khalid!
Kabir greeted as he entered the cabin...
Khalid looked up from his file, taking off his reading glasses and setting them on the table...
Kh: hey Kabir!
He greeted his Editor-in-chief, the main reason for his channel's superb ratings...
Kh: By the way, main tumhaare paas aane hi waala tha...
He said as he picked up a couple of cream coloyred, expensive looking envelopes from his.mahagony desk...
Kh: ye uss award function ke passes hai, you know the one wherin you are to be felicitated...
He beamed, extending the envelopes towards Kabir...
Kabur nodded breifly, excepting the passes...before taking out an envelope of his own with the logo of KKN...
K: here Khalid...
He handed him the envelope...
Khalid peered curiosly at it before tearing open the seal...
Kabir felt a little bad as the older man grew quite pale as he read the contents if the typed letter...
Kh: Kabir...I...how...you...what...
Khalid's shock came out in a series of jumbled words that didn't really form a coherent sentence...but then he was stunned...
Kh: re...resignation??????
He finally asked on getting his bearings...
Kabir nodded...
K: main KKN se resign kar raha hoon...
He informed...
Kh: uh...Kabir...Kabir look...if this is about yesterday...Manav, Malvika then please...I'm really sorry...I'll handle them...don't you worry...par please aise...
Khalid began worriedly...afterall he couldn't afford to loose Kabir...
Kabir shook his head however, and answered...
K: it's not about yesterday Khalid...mera faisla nahi badlega...main yaha se resign kar raha hoon...I can't work here any longer...I'm sorry...
Kabir felt cruel but it needed to be done...for his sanity...for Ananya's love...
Kh: but wha...
Khalid's shocked voice was cut off by Malvika's voice...
Mal: Kabir please...
Kabir winced at her tone & resisted a groan...
Mal: please Kabir meri baat toh sunlo ek baar...
She cried out, trying to hold his hand but he pulled it away...
K: I've had enough Malvika, please!
He turned to Khalid before continuing...
K: Khalid please sign it...
He requested... Khalid looked hesitantly between Kabir & Malvika...knowing something was amiss...
Kh: Malvika...Kabir ne abhi abhi mujhe apna resignation letter diya hai...tumhaara isse koi connection toh nahi? Ya Manav ka?
Khalid asked her suspiciously making Malvika roll her eyes...
Mal: oh please! Ye sab uss do kaudi ki junior reporter ki vajah se horaha hai...Kabur is smitten by her skigjt beauty par Khalid tum toh reasonable ho...
Malvika huffed & Kabir looked like he was going to attack someone...
Kh: hold on...what's this about? Ananya beech mein kaha se aagayi?
Khalid asked skeptically...
K: main batata hoon Khalid...Malvika here has a few misconceptions my marriage to Ananya...
Kabir stated icily...he was a man who respected women no matter what they did...
He would never voice out Malvika's shameful advances towards him in public & demolish her image...
Afterall, KL was a very good person...
Mal: C'mon Kabir! Itni se baat par you can't just resign...
She protested but Kabir was having none of it...
K: oh but Malvika I can...
He smirked at her shocked look...
K: my contract doesn't bind me to any notice period so...plus I'm sure any other channel will love to take me in!
He trailed off smugly...while Khalid & Malvika looked shocked...
K: okay then...thanks Khalid...pleasure working with you...hope to see u again sometime...
He smiled, shaking the poor man's hand...glancing at his resignation signed in a shaky manner by Khalid...
Kh & Mal: Kabirrr!!!
Both chased Kabir down the stairs as Kabir climved down nonchalantly...
Kh: Kabir please...whatever it is...we can work this out...really..I'll speak to KL...
Khalid tried but in vain...
Kh: please Kabir...itns toh bata do ki tum ye kar kyu rahe ho?
Khalid asked desperately...
Kabir sighed & turned to him...knowing he'll finally have to speak out...
K: why don't you ask Malvika Khalid? She'll explain much better...
Kabir stated icily...
Khalid shot Malvika a deadly look...a look she never knew he could possess...
He understood exactly what must have happened...
But Malvika was not to be put down just yet...
Mal: toh uss junior reporter ke liye tum ye sabkuch chod doge? Ye position bhi? Just great!!!!
K: (smiled) meri Ananya ke liye main Editor-in-chief ki position kya, apni jaan bhi chod sakta hoon...
He thought to himself...as cheesy as it sounded, it was true...
K: exactly 10 mins back you know Malvika...
He stated as he grabbed his laptop bag from his cabin...ignoring the crowd of staff gathered to watch the commotion...
A: Kabir?
The sweet, familiar voice of his lovely wife brought a rare smile on the face of our protagonist...
Kabir turned around to see Ananya's beautiful face scrunched up in worry...
K: I'm sorry Ananya but...maine yaha se resign kardiya hai...
He told his horrified wife as he moved around hus former cabin to pack his stuff...
A shocked Ananya glanced at Khalid who looked worried as he stood outside the cabin...
She smiled assuringly at him & turned to her husband...
A: Kabir...this is because of Malvika...right?
She saw his features tighten as he nodded in agreement...
A: kya kiya usne?
Ananya asked with a sigh as she smoothed her hands over Kabir's forehead, easing his frown...
K: She tried to seduce me Ananya...shevused unthinkable words for you aur tumhaari koi insult kare ye main kabhi...
A: bardasht nahi karenge, haina?
She asked softly & Kabir nodded sternly but eventually it turned into a little rare pout which Ananya was amused by to no end...
Ananya pouted more cutely to mimick him causing him to smirk & trap her between the wall...
Before Ananya could do something, he kissed her pout away...
He smirked at his wife's shocked face...
A: Kabirrr! Khalid sir bahar hai!
She reprimanded & Kabir absent mindedly rolled his eyes...
K: huh! Toh main kya darta hoon tumhaare Khalid sir se? I'm not his Editor-in-chief anymore!
He winked playfully & Ananya shook her head...
K: shyaam ko gharpar milta hoon...
He kissed Ananya on the forehead before exiting the cabin...
A worried Khalid followed Kabir as he went towards the staff...
K: Guys, it was a real pleasure working with you par ab main KKN ka Editor-in-chief nahi raha...kuch...uh..reasons ki vajah se maine apni post se resign kardiya...but I wish you best of luck &
I know Manav Gupta is more than capable of handling this post...
Kabir finished as he caught Manav smirking in triumph...
Rohan stepped forward & so did Sunny, Ronnie, Trisha & a few others however not Richa...
Roh: sir please mat jaiyye...aapse achcha Editor-in-chief KKN ko nahi milpaayega...
Kabir only smiled sadly at the talented junior of his...
B: sirji! Tussi na jao please! Aap mainnu batao ji kissne aapko tang kidda si, abhi ke abhi haddi pasli tod kar rakh deni hai maine!
Baby boomed...cracking her fists...
S: haan sir! Dekho main na apne dadaji ki bandook le aata hoon! Aapke khilaaf bolne waale kp goliyon se udaa dena hai maine!
Sunny exclaimed angrily...
Khalid smirked...biting back his laughter at Malvika & Manav's alarmed looks...
Kabir chuckled lightly & smiled at the Punjaab ke sher & sherni...
K: Babyji, Sunny paaji...kisiko na haddi pasli ek karne ki zaroorat hai na goli se udaane ki...mera faisla nahi badlega...I'm sorry...
In the meantime, Ananya had quickly packed her stuff...planning to return for more later, and joined Kabir...
Kabir looked skeptically at his wife all packed up to go...
K: Ananya?
Kabir began but was cut off by her...
A: kyu? Apne pyaar ki beizzati sirf aap nahi seh sakte? Main bhi KKN se resign kar rahi hoon kyunki jaha kadam kadam par log mere husband ke baarein mein ashleel baatein karte hai, humaare relationship par ungliyaan uthaate hai...waha main kaam nahi karsakti...sorry...
She said firmly...glaring at Richa from the side of her eyes...making her glare back angrily at Kabir instead...
Ananya fisted her palms to control herself...
K: Ananya lekin...this is your dream job...
Kabir began but couldn't finish...
A: hai Kabir par usliye kyunki pati hone se pehle aap mere idol, mere guide aur mentor the...ye job nera dream job tha kyunki humaare beech ki complications ke bawajood main aapke under kaam seekhna chahti thi...ab jab aap hi nahi hai toh kya fayda...
I love you Kabir...I really do...iss dunia mein sabse zyaada...aapje alaava mujhe ksbhi na kuch chahiye tha na aaj chahiye ya phir future mein chahiye hoga...you are everything to me...neri saans...dil ki dhadkan...dil...sab aap hai...
She hugged him...not knowing how someone could love her to this extent...
He had the dream of becoming the most powerful, popular & influencial journalist of the country & he did...and just for her he was ready to leave it all?
Kabir too was in the same boat & could do nothing but wonder what exactly had he done to deserve this precious gem of a woman as his better half...
Ronnie could see true love shining in Kabir & Ananya's eyes for each other...Ananya was very happy with Kabir...
What more could he ask?
He thought with a small smile, ignoring the ache in his heart...
He shook his head seeing Richa glare at Ananya & huff...he really hoped she came around soon...
K: Mrs Sharma?
Kabir ectended his hand with a smile...
Ananya looked on with tear filled eyes...touched by his love for her...
Ananya took it...bringing his habd to her lips & kissed it...
Kabir smiled at her gesture & Ananya returned it as well...
A: chalein?
Ananya hooked arm with Kabir's when he nodded & withoutsparing anyobe a look, the perfect couple made their way out of the office leaving behind the stunned staff...
*******
In the Car:
A: ye sab kya tha sab?
Ananya asked sternly & Kabir made an innocent face...
K: kya sab?
He asked suppressing a grin but put on a neutral face when Ananya shot him a " I won't spare you if you don't stop" look...
Just then, the ringing of Kabir's phone cut off their conversation...
Ananya saw that it was Khalid's call & opened her mouth to protest when Kabir cut it...
K: tadapne do sabko thoda...tabhi toh humaari ehmiyat samajh aayegi unhe...
The smirk on her husband's face told her that he was up to something...
Ananya shook her head...the arrogant, cocky look on his face made him look like the bad boy Kabir Sharma he was known as...
K: filhaal toh its chutti time! Abd I'd love to celebrate it with my beautiful wife...
Ananya blushed at his words...swearing that he bounced in his seat happily for a fraction of a second...
A: nahi Kabir...abhi ghar chaliye...mujhe karwa chauth ki puja ki tayyari karni hai...bohot kaam hai...vaise bhi main aaj lunch time mein nikalne waali thi...
Her words drew a slight pout from Kabir which he quickly covered...
K: theek hai...par aaj raat ko main dunia ki sabse khubsoorat ladki, meri biwi ko dinner par le jaakar rahunga...that's Kabir Sharma's word...
He proclaimed with a grin...
A: why not Mr Sharma...
Ananya said seductively...wrapping her arms around his neck as the rwo leaned in closer for a quick kiss before the green signal came...
********
Meanwhile...
In KKN,
Malvika's cabin:
Mal: bilkul...mooh maangi keemat di jaayegi...
Malvika spoke over the phone with a wicked look...
Pe: Don't worry ma'am...kaam hojaayega...aapki di gayei information ke hisaab se Mr Kabir Sharma aur Ms Ananya Kashyap ki shaadi ek fraud hai...dhoke se karwaayi gayi thi...kyu??
The person enquired...
Mal: haan...koi charity event tha aur usike play ke dauraan shaadi ke asli mantra ek asli pandit se padhvaakar kisi ne unki shaadi sachmein karwaayi hai...jabki it was only a stupid play...
She huffed angrily...
Pe: ma'am aap unki iss shaadi ko almost ek saal baad null & void declare karvana chahti hai? Aur bina unki sign ya presence ke ye sab hoga kaise? Kya ismein unn dono ki marzi hai?
The person wanted to know...but Malvika had other plans...
Mal: Mr Bharadwaj...aap lawyer hai...ye kaise hoga vo aap dekhiye...aur marzi ho ya na ho...I want Kabir & that stupid junior reporter's marriage anulled asap...you get it?
Aapko jitne paise chahiye main dungi...par ye shaadi jald se jald anull ho jaani chahiye...
Pe: aap bilkul befikra rahiye ma'am...Kabir Sharma aur Ananya Kashyap ki shaadi ka anullment main karwakar chodunga...aap paise tayyar rakhiye! Thank you!!
Malvika cut the call with an evil cackle...
Mal: ab Kabir ko mera hone se kaise rokogi Ananya? Na rahega baas na bajegi baasuri!
She thought happily...
