Chapter 15

Kanan and Nishant were in a meeting when Nishant's cell rangs.The no of Reeva was flashing. Nishant excuses himself and came out of the cabin.
Reeva:Nishant mujhe tumse jaroori baat karni hai.
Nishant: Mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni Reeva.
Reeva: Please Nishant , hamara baat karna bahut jaroori hai. Please.
Nishant: Ok Reeva, batao kahan aana hai.
Reeva: Hotel Kingston. Main tumhara wiat kar rahi hoon.
Nishant: Theek hai. I am coming.
Saying this, he cuts the call and enters into the cabin again.
Nishant: I am sorry Guys. Mujhe kuch jaroori kaam se bahar jaaana hai. Kanan aapko is project ke baare mein sab samjha dengi.
Kanan: Woh to theek hai Nishant. Par aap jaa kahan rahein hain?
Nishant(unable to answer):Woh.... actually......ek business client aa gaya hai aur do ghante baad uski flight hai, isliye mujhe jaana padega.
Kanan: Ok ok Nishant. aap jaiye. I will handle everything.
Nishant: Thanks Kanan.
Saying this, he comes out of the cabin and moves towards Hotel Kingston.
After sometime, he was sitting with Reeva.
Nishant: Kaho Reeva, kya baat thi.
Reeva: Nishant, main kuch kehna chahti thi.
Nishant: Isliye to hum yahan par hai. Kaho kya kehna hai.
Reeva: I love u Nishant.
Nishant was shocked after hearing that.
Nishant: Ye tum kya keh rahi ho Reeva.
Reeva: Main sahi keh rahi hoon Nishant. I really love u. Tumne theek kaha tha Nishant. Career aur pyaar mein se career ko chunkar main ek top model to ban gayee par mujhe saccha pyaar nahi mila. Milta bhi kaise . Maine to apni zindagi mein sirf tumse pyaar kia hai.
Nishant: afsos tumhe ye baat bahut der mein samajh aayi Reeva. Kyunki main tumse pyaar nahi karta. Meri zindagi mein ab Kanan hain aur main unse bahut pyaar karta hoon.
Reeva: Tum kisko dhokha de rahe ho Nishant.
Nishant: Kya matlab?
Reeva: Matlab tum jhooth bol rahe ho. Tum ab bhi mujhse pyaar karte ho. Warna kal tum meri birthday party mein nahi aate.
Nishant: Birthday party mein main tumhari nahi Kanan ki wajah se aaya tha. Kyunki main unhe dukhi nahi dekh sakta.
Reeva: Manti hoon ki party mein tum Kanan ki wajah se aaye.Par tumhari aankhen sirf mujhe dekh rahin thi jab tum Kanan ke saath dance kar rahe the.
Nishant: Ye sach nahi hai.
Reeva: Ye hi sach hai Nishant. aur ye tum bhi jaante ho ki tum ise badal nahi sakte.Ye main us waqt hi samajh gayi thi jabtum mere saath dance kar rahe the. agar tumhare man mein mere liye kuch nahi hota to tum mujhe is tarah ignore nahi karte.
Nishant was getting more and more confused.Reeva took advantage of this and holds his hand.
Reeva: Main maanti hoon Nishant ki maine bahut badi galti ki thi tumhara pyaar thukrakar. Par main sach kehti hoon ki us dinke baad se main ek bhi din chain se nahi jee payi. Mujhe sirf ek mauka do Nishant. Main tumhe shikayat ka koi mauka nahi doongi.
Nishant:Aisa nahi ho sakta Reeva. Meri zindagi mein ab Kanan hain aur main unhe dhokha nahi de sakta.
Reeva: Kaisa dhokha Nishant. Kanan tumhari indgi mein isliye hain kyunki main tumahri zindagi mein nahi thi. Dil koi kamra nahi hota Nishant ki khali hua aur ek ki jagah doosra aa gaya .Ye tum bhi jaante ho ki meri jagah koi nahi le sakta.
Nishant was unable to bear all this. He stands up to leave from there.
Reeva: Mujhe pata hai tumhe ye sab accha nahi lag raha par yahi sach hai Nishant. aur ye baat tum ek din khud bhi mehsoos karoge.aur main us din tak tumhara intezaar karungi.
Nishant without listeneing to her nonsense leaves from there with a confused mind. He was driving but his mind was occupied by Reeva's nonsense.
Nishant: Hey bhagwaan, ye kis mod par khada kar diya hai mujhe. Kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha kya karoon?
The moments he spent with Reeva and Kanan were flashing in front of his eyes. The college moments with Reeva, thier first dance, their first hug, the first time Reeva said i love u to him all were in front of his eyes. at the same time these moments were repaced by the moments he spent with Kanan. The moment he met her in canada, her birthday party, her arrival to india. Their close moments during one year, Kanan's delighted face when he said i love u to her, when he gifted her necklace, thier engagement time, their first diwali together all were again in fornt of his eyes. His tohoughts were disturbed by the loud horn of a truck coming towards his car and in the process of defending him against the truck, he loses control and hits his car against a tree. After that it was all dark for him as he gets unconcious.

After sometime when he gains conciousness , he found himself surrounded by his family. Buaji , Kanan , Tanu , Bheem and Bali were arround him.He tries to get up but feels unbearable pain in his hand. The doctor helps him in making him sit up.
Buaji: Kaisa hai Nishant.
Nishant: I am fine buaji. Kuch nahi hua mujhe.
Doctor: Aisa aapko lagta hai MR. Nishant. Woh to accha hua ki gaadi jyada speed mein nahi thi.Aapko haath mein multiple fractures hain aur sir par bhi chot aayi hai.
Tanu: Ye sab hua kaisa chachu.
Nishant: actually woh main.....
Buaji : Daud raha hoga kisi kaam ki wajah se . ab ek do mahine tak koi kaam nahi . Sirf aaram.
Nishant: Lekin buaji.....
Buaji: Chup. ab main teri ek nahi sunungi. Samjha.
Nishant: Ok ok buaji.
Buaji(to all of them): Chalo ab sab. Usko aaram karne do.
Everybody start moving outside.
Buaji(To Kanan): arre, tu kahan jaa rhai hai. Tu yahin ruk.
Kanan smiles and all of them goes outside . Kanan locks the door and turns his face towards Nishant.Her big eyes were filled with tears.
Nishant: Please Kanan , don't cry. Mujhe kuch nahi hua.
Kanan ran towards him and hugs him tightly. Nishant feels her concern for him and takes her in his arms.
Kanan: Thankgod aapko kuch nahi hua Nishant. Main sach much bahut dar gayi thi. Agar aapko kuch ho jaata to....
Nishant:Aap aise kyun soch rahi hain Kanan. Agar aap mere saath hain to mujhe kuch nahi ho sakta.
They realease each other and Nishant wipes off her tears.
She again becomes emotional and hugs him. He too takes her in his arms and starts rufling her hairs.
Kanan: I love u Nishant. Main apni zindagi aapke bina soch bhi nahi sakti.
Nishant smiles and was about to say i love u too when he remebers the word said to him by Reeva and he became confused again.
Kanan releases him and looks into his eyes .
Kanan: Kya hua Nishant.Aap kuch pareshaan lag rah hain.
Nishant: nahi kuch nahi.
Kanan:Ok aap keh rahe hain to koi baat nahi hogi. Mujhe pata hai aap muhse kuch nahi chippayenge.
Nishant was totally speechless this time. All he can do was giving a mere smile.
At night, he and Kanan were having dinner when Nishant becomes a little bit disturbed again.
Kanan: Kya hua Nishant. Aap sachmuch pareshaan hain. Baitaiye na kya baat hai.
Nishant: actually Kanan buaji ne mujhe kaam karne se mana kia hai aur teen din baad delhi mein Malhotras ke saath meri meeting thi. Aap to janti hain woh meeting hamare liye kitni jaroori hai aur aap buaji mujhe wahan jaane nahi dengi.
Kanan: Don't worry Nishant. Iska solution hai mere paas. Kyun na aapki jagah main ye meetin attend karun.
Nishant: Aap.
Kanan: Haan main is project ke baare mein acchi tarah jaanti hoon. aur ise acchi tarah handle bhi kar paungi.
Nishant: Par Kanan aap akeli?
Kanan: Sirf teen din ki to baat hai Nishant. Main jaanti hoon ye contract aapke liye kitna important hai.
Nishant:Ok as u wish. Dekha meri is problem ka solution bhi aapne nikal diya.
Kanan: Ab hamari problem alag alag to nahi hain na Nishant.
Nishant was totally floored away by Kanan's statement. He was just looking at her that how easily she made his problem her. He was feeling guilty that he is hiding something for the first time form her and he don' know the reason for it.
