Aashna.......Sujal&Kashish.....Last Part....8/30 - Page 108

In the morning

Sun was shining through the curtains...Kashish opens her eyes and sees Sujal sleeping peacefully whilst holding her...she smiles and gently kisses his forehead causing him open his eyes...he smiles as soon as he sees her face.....and hugs her tightly while closing his eyes again

Kashish: kya hua....aaj taiyaar nahi hona...

Sujal nods his head side ways...

Sujal: nahin...muje yahin rehna hai...tumhare paas

Kashish: aisa kaise ho sakta hai....kaam bhi to zaroori hai....

Sujal: aaj rehne do na...kal chala jaaunga..

Kashish: kal bhi to tum yahi kahoge...aur aaj to tumhare interviews bhi hai...

Sujal: haan...lekin main tumhe bohat miss karta hoon wahan pe...pata hai kal kitne mushkil se maine waqt kaata tha..

Kashish: uska intejam maine kar diya hai....tum muje ab itna bhi miss nahi karoge...

Sujal: kyun...tumne aisa kya kiya hai

Kashish: pehle ek minute muje chodo.....closet me hai kuch...lekin....

Sujal: lekin kya?

Kashish: lekin usse pehle tumhe taiyaar hona hoga.....

Sujal: not fair jaan.,pehle dikhao na phir ready hojaunga...

Kashish: pehle ready ....phir...

Sujal makes a face of a child but gets up...

Sujal: tum nahin maanogi na...main jaata hoon

Kashish: woh aaj tak kabhi mana hai maine...

Sujal: nahin...aur tum kehti ho ke main ziddi hoon...

Kashish: woh to tum ho hi....aur yeh baat tumne bhi mani hai...ab chalo chodo muje...

Sujal: jaan woh kissa dubara mat shuru karna warna main tumhe bilkul nahin chodne waala...

Kashish: maine kab shuru kiya tha...

Sujal: abhi tumne phirse kaha na ke main ziddi hoon..

Kashish: kaha ......kyun nahi kehna chahiye...

Sujal: bilkul bhi nahin...kyunki main tumse zyada ziddi to nahin hoon...

Kashish: main ziddi nahi hoon...

Sujal: tum ziddi ho jaan...abhi abhi hi tumne iska ek example diya hai..

Kashish: maine kab kaha...

Sujal: tumhi ne to kaha ke jab tak main taiyaar nahin hota tum muje woh dikhaogi nahin jo tum laayi ho...

Kashish: to usme kaun si maine zidd ki hai...woh to normal si baat hai kyunki main janti hoon ki agar maine woh cheez tumhe abhi de di to tum taiyaar bhi nahi honge aur office bhi nahi jaoge..

Sujal: wajah jo bhi ho...tumne zidd to ki..

Kashish: maine nahi ki....ab tum jao Sujal...pleee...

Sujal: Kashish tum achi tarah se jaanti ho na ke tum jab bhi muje please kehti ho to main tumhe na nahin kehpaata...jaata hoon...

He lets go off her and gets up then goes to the washroom .....Kashish smiles at him then gets up making their bed........she goes to his closet and takes out his clothes.......today she picks out a red shirt for him.....she takes his outfit and puts it on the bed for him to find......then goes towards the window to look at the sunrise....after a while Sujal comes out of the shower while drying his hair with a towel...and sees her standing at the window......he smiles then walks upto her and holds her waist.........when he gets near her he sees that she is holding a frame in her hand......but it is upside down.....

Sujal: Kashish...yeh kya hai?

Kashish: tumhi ne kaha tha na ki tum muje bahot miss kar rahe ho....to ab is frame ko tumhare table pe rakh dena....taki meri itni bhi yaad tumhe na aaye..

Sujal takes the frame and turns it around...he sees the photo of him and Kashish at Disney Land....they were in a beautiful pose..with Sujal holding Kashish from her shoulder whie Kashish's arms were around his waist........her head was resting on his chest.........Sujal looks at the pic then hugs Kashish tightly....

Sujal: i love you so much for this beautiful gift jaan...yeh tasveer hamesha mere dil ke kareeb rahegi...

Kashish: tasveer hi sirf rahegi ki main bhi....

Sujal: tum to mere dil ke andar rehti ho Kashish...ab usse zyada kareeb me tumhe kahan rakhun..

Kashish: aur muje kabhi waha se durr bhi mat karna....I love you Sujal....

Sujal: tumhe durr karunga to mera dil kaise dhadkega...usse dhadakne ke liye tumhari zaroorat hai Kashish...mera dil tumhe kahin bhi nahin jaane dega...

Kashish turned around and went to his arms.........He just hugged her again tightly and gently kissed her head...

Sujal: i love you jaan...

Kashish: I love you too....

Sujal just stands there holding her...he wanted time to stand still so he could go on holding her like this forever...he wanted to feel her not just in his arms but at every point of life...Kashish moves back and looks at him....

Kashish: ab tum ready ho jao......main neeche kitchen me hoon.....

Sujal gently kisses her forehead with a smile..

Sujal: theek hai main bas abhi ready ho ke aaya..

He takes his clothes and leaves for the washroom... She goes downstairs in the kitchen and makes the breakfast......she was taking the breakfast to the table....when she sees him coming down.....she sits down on her chair......He comes and sits beside her on his chair whilst placing the photo infront of him...

Kashish: Sujal....aaj jab tum interview lo to ple kuch sawaal tum bhi puchna....

Sujal just smiles...

Sujal: don't worry...tab to tum mere saamne thi to main tumhe dekhne me busy tha...lekin is baar tum thodi na hogi...is baar main bhi dhyan dunga..

Kashish: kaise ki her waqt hoti hai....ab tum jaldi se breakfast karo aur office jao....warna Angad kahi tumhe lene hi na aajaye.....

Sujal: uska koi bharosa bhi nahin hai...woh hamesha galat waqt pe entry maarta hai...

Kashish: sahi kaha aur woh muje kal pata chal hi gaya...

Sujal: agli baar main office ka darwaza lock karne waala hoon..

Kashish: agli bar main hi nahi aanewali...isi liye yeh tasveer tumhe di hai...

Sujal: Kashish!...aisa thodi na chalega...kabhi kabhi Angad ki jagah tum hi surprise de diya karo..

Kashish: thik hai ...lekin kabhi kabhi...matlab saal me do ya teen bar...

Sujal: kya!..do teen baar woh bhi saal me...jaan saal ki jagah hafta kaise rahega..

Kashish: hafte ki jagah mahina kaise rahega...

Sujal: theek hai na tumhari na meri...do hafte kardete hain..

Kashish: ok baba kyunki tum to ab meri sunne wale nahi...is liye ab tum breakfast karo kyunki tumhe dair ho rahi hai....

Sujal: so sweet jaan...main abhi breakfast karta hoon...

They start to eat their breakfast whilst talking...after finishing Sujal stands up and so does Kashish...

Sujal: theek hai jaan...to main chalta hoon...

She came closer to him and straightens his tie...he just smiles...

Sujal: dekha na...maine kaha tha na ke main jab bhi karta hoon to tedi banti hai..

Kashish: lekin main hoon na tumhari tie ko bandhne ke liye....aaj kyun nahi bulaya...

Sujal: woh muje lagga tumhe breakfast banane me busy hogi isliye main tumhe pareshan nahin karna chahta tha

Kashish: kal se aisa mat karna .......

Sujal: acha baba nahin karunga...kal se tumhe bulalunga..ab khush

Kashish: bahot....kyunki yeh bhi mera hi ek kaam hai..

Sujal: tumhara kaam nahin tumhara haq banta hai..

Kashish: to mera hakk hi sahi.....ab tum jao...

Sujal: achcha theek hai main ab jaata hoon...apna khayal rakhna...shaam ko milenge...bye jaan

Kashish: bye....aur shambhal ke jana......aur jaldi aane ki koshish karna...

Sujal: main 5 baje se ek minute bhi upar nahin hone dunga...promise...

He picks up the photoframe and his briefcase...he was just about to go when he turns around and hugs her...

Sujal: bye jaan..

He moves back and kisses her forehead then leaves with a smile

**********************************************************************************************

Two beautiful weeks later

SK has a new creative director.....Sujal is getting used to being back at the office but only because Kashish comes atleast three times every 2 weeks.......it is 4pm on Sunday...it is one of Sujal's favourite days because he can spend it with Kashish...So lets go see how our lovebirds are spending their Sunday afternoon.....Sujal and Kashish were in the kitchen, Sujal, as promised is teaching Kashish how to cook...

Kashish: Sujal....tumhe yakeen hai ki tum muje shikha paoge...

Sujal: kyun..tumhe mujpe yakeen nahin hai kya?...mujse behtar tumhe aur koi nahin sikha sakta...iski guarantee main leta hoon..

Kashish: nahi main to aise hi.....ab batao aaj kya shikhane wale ho Sir...

Sujal: to aaj main aapko bohat hi simple si dish sikhane ja raha hoon...aaj hum dal chawal banane waale hain...

Kashish: chawal to samaj me aata hai....lekin Sujal...Dal thoda muskil nahi....

Sujal: dal aur mushkil...never...usse asaan koi aur cheez hai hi nahin...aur woh kaafi healthy bhi hai...

Kashish: muje yeh pata hai ki woh healthy hai....ab dekhte hai ki kitni aasan hai....yeh batao pehle kya karna hoga muje...

Sujal: sabse pehle to hum hygiene ko dekhte hain...tumhare baal baandhne honge...ek minute...

Sujal turns her around then places one hand on her waist pulling her closer...then with the other hand he fastens the clip to tie her hair back...

Kashish: ab tumne hygiene ka problem solve kar diya lekin abhi tak bataya nahi ki dal ke liye aur kya chahiye...

Sujal: batata hoon na...abhi usse pehle kuch aur karna baaki hai taki tumhe pareshani na ho...

He gently pulls her back in his arms and runs his hands along her waist whilst looking at her...then gently lifts the end of her saree and tucks it in at the side.....Kashish puts her hands on his trying to free herself while looking at him...

Kashish: Sujal...tum muje khana banana shikha rahe ho ki..

Sujal: ki kya?...ab agar saree beech me aagayi to tumhe pareshani hogi na...main to tumhari help kar raha tha..

Kashish: kuch jyada help nahi kar rahe tum...

Sujal: ab main to aisa hi hoon...main hamesha extra madad karta hoon...

Kashish: bahot achche se pata hai yeh to muje.....ab dal pakane ka bhi irada hai ki nahi..

Sujal: haan haina...ab chalo yahan aao...

He lets go of her then walks towards the worktop and she follows him...

Sujal: sabse pehle to yeh bartan lo aur usme paani daalna hai...takreeban aadhe se thoda kam aur phir usse gas par boil hone ke liye rakhna hai...to chalo isme paani daalo...

she holds the jug and pours the water in the pot as he describes the process....

Kashish: ab aage...

Sujal: ab iske aage tumhe is paani me sabhi spices daalni hai...takreeban 1 spoon namak ki...1 and a half lal mirch ki...quarter spoon haldi...aur aadha spoon dhaniya powder...aur haan thoda sa zeera bhi...aao main dikhata hoon sab kahan hai...

He opens the cupboard and shows her the bottles...they were labelled so it was much easier for Kashish...

Sujal: acha sunno...agar lal mirch powder haath pe lag jaye to fauran dho lena warna kahin aankhon ko lag gayi to problem hojayegi...

Kashish: Sujal itna to main bhi janti hoon.....waise tumhe kaisa pasand hai.....

Sujal: main to kaafi theekha khaana khaata hoon isliye thoda zyada daalta hoon...

Kashish: thik hai....to aaj main bhi teekha try karungi.....

Kashish pours a spoon of red chilli powder in the pot....Sujal just places his head on her shoulder whilst looking at her when she turns towards him...he moves his head forward and looks at the dish...

Sujal: ehmm...woh ab baaki ke spices bhi daal do

Kashish: daal rahi hoon lekin yeh tum kya karne ki koshish kar rahe the...

Sujal: nahin...kuch nahin...woh theek se nazar nahin araha tha to upar se dekh raha tha..

Kashish: oh really....aisa karte hai ki...

Sujal: ki kya?

Kashish: ki main hi raste se nikal jati hoon taki tumhe clear view mile....right...

Sujal: wrong!...i mean tum hatt gayi to dal kaun banaega...

Kashish: dal to tum muje shikha rahe ho...main to sirf dekh rahi hoon....to main side pe hoke dekhti hoon..

Sujal: nahin...jab tak tum khud nahin banati tumhe samaj nahin ayega...warna main hi banadeta...aur meri fikar mat karo...mera view kaafi clear hai yahan se..

Kashish: aur tumhare view me kya tumhe nazar aa raha hai..

Sujal just looks at her intently...

Sujal: mere view me muje bohat hi khubsurat...

He comes back to reality...

Sujal: woh...i mean bohat hi khubsurat dal bante nazar arahi hai..

Kashish: joothe...tumhe itna jooth bolte saram nahi aati...

Sujal: ab isme kya jhooth bola maine?

Kashish: tum nahi samjoge jane do....achcha ab yeh to batao ki aage kya karna hai...

Sujal: Haan ab aage woh rahi dal...waise to saaf hi hai par check karlete hain...shayad koi chota paththar wagaira ho...

He takes out some lentils on a tray and she begins to search...and Sujal keeps looking at her when he smiles then runs his finger in the lentils writing 'i luv u'.....she goes towards his ear and whispers...

Kashish: I..Love..You..

He smiles and gently kisses her cheek...then moves back and stands there looking at her...Kashish looks at him and lowers her gaze while cleaning the lentils....After 2 minutes, Kashish finishes lentils and looks at him......

Kashish: ab ise aise hi daal doon ki ise dhona bhi hai...

Sujal: aise thodi na daal sakte hain...pehle isse dhona hai...kaise woh main batata hoon...

He gets out a deep pan and places the lentils inside it then took it towards the water basin...he opens the tap water and fills half of it with water and looked at her...he shows her a how to wash it whilst rubbing the lentils in his hands...

Sujal: ab tum karo...

Kashish comes to the basin and ties to wash the lentils but wasn't rubbing them properly...he comes and stands behind her and places his hands in the lentils with her...she could feel his chest strongly against her back as he holds her hands and shows her how to rub the lentils...whilst showing her he was gently rubbing his lips on her shoulder... Kashish closes her eyes as she feels him lock his fingers with hers inside the pot....he slowly runs his lips moving upward towards her ear...She closes her eyes more tightly as she feels herself going deeper into his arms..the gentle kisses he was placing on her ear were making her shiver...Kashish tries to move her hand from his but he was holding it so tight..........

Kashish: Sujall...

When he realised what he was doing and quickly let go of her hand and moved back...he was looking away as he didn't know what to say...when finally he heard the water boil and was relieved...

Sujal: errr...woh ab dal is paani me daalni hai...

Kashish: hmmm..main dal deti hoon...

Sujal: ermm...haan theek hai...tab tak main store se chawal leke aata hoon...

He takes a pan and goes to the store to get some rice.. Kashish puts the dal in the pot and stands there looking outside from the whindow....she remembers the moments a few minutes back.....she shys and looks down ..When Sujal came back with the rice...he saw her lost in thoughts and smiled...

Sujal: Kashish...tumhe chawal banane to aate haina...isliye main hi inhe rakh deta hoon cooker pe..

Kashish: its ok main kar deti hoon....

Sujal: koi baat nahin...tum dal pe itni mehnat kar rahi ho...main itna to kar hi sakta hoon na...

He washes the rice then fills the pan up...he put some salt in it and then covers it to boil...

Sujal: ab dal ko thoda sa low kardo taki woh achche se pak jaaye...aur usse cover bhi kardo...phir tadka lagana hai...

Kashish: thik hai....waise Sujal...tumhe itna sabkuch banana kaise aata hai....

Sujal: woh kya haina...tum to jaanti hi ho ke main hostel me rehta tha...phir jab muje padhne ke liye unhone boarding school bhej diya tha to main shaam ko bore hojata tha...isliye maine cooking class join karli...tabhi se kaafi useful raha hai kyunki hostel me bohat kaam aaya..

Kashish: kya woh cooking class me girls thi....

Sujal: haan zyada girls hi thi...kyunki ladkion ko hi zyada cooking ki zaroorat padti hai...

Kashish: to ....to unme se kisi ko tum pasand nahi aaye....kyunki jyadatar ladki ko cooking karte ladke achche lagte hai..

Sujal: unme se 3 4 mere aage peeche ghoomti rehti thi...hamesha mera attention paane ki koshish karti thi aur muje apni dishes bhi test karwati thi..

Kashish: aur tum...

Sujal: main...tumhe kya lagta hai main kya karta tha?

Kashish: main waha thodi na thi...warna kya kisi me itni himmat ki woh tumhare aage peeche aaye...

Sujal: acha...to tum wahan hoti tho kya karti?

Kashish: woh main...main tumhara haath aise pakad ke un sabke samne us class se khich ke apne saath le jati....

Kashish holds his hand and slowly pulls him towards her..Sujal just looks deeply into her eyes...she was standing resting on the worktop whilst his hands were around her on the worktop...

Sujal: aur?

Kashish: aur ...aur main......

Sujal moves a little closer...

Sujal: aur tum kya?

Kashish: aur main tumhe apne itne kareeb rakhti ki...tumhe mere alawa koi aur nazar hi na aata..

He bends down towards her ear and whispers..

Sujal: kitne kareeb?

she just puts her arms around his neck while going into his arms.........He just smiles then moves his hands from the worktop and wraps his arms around her...he moves towards her ear...

Sujal: ab tum mere itne kareeb rehti to waakay me muje aur kuch bhi nazar nahin aata..

Kashish smiles at his words and holds him more tightly...he looks down and kisses her head......they are standing there holding to each other...when they hear the whistle of cooker.........they come back from their dream while moving back...

Sujal: lagta hai dal gal gayi...aao check karte hain...

He removes the lid and checks it...it was softer than before but still needed time to mix in properly with the water...

Sujal: ab jab tak yeh dal poori tarah se hoti hai main tumhe simple sa tadka sikhata hoon...

Kashish: thik hai...jaisa tum kaho...ab batao kaise karna hai..

Sujal: sabse pehle ek frying pan me butter daalna hai...uske baad thoda sa pyaaz...ek garlic clove aur thoda sa ginger...aur thoda sa fresh harra dhaniya..yeh sab bilkul chote chote kaat ke butter me daalna hai...

Kashish: oh...thik hai...main kat deti hoon sab...muje pata hai sab kaha hai...

Sujal: theek hai...tab tak main dal ko dekhta hoon...usse thoda mix karna parega..tum sab lekar aao phir main batata hoon ke kaise karna hai

Kashish: ok main us countertop pe kat deti hoon......

Sujal: theek hai...aur dhayan se karna...kahin ungli na kat jaye..

Kashish: Sujal ....muje itna to aata hi hai....i mean seriously....

Sujal: arre tumhari safety ke liye kehraha hoon main...

Kashish: Sach me....woh baat ko ab jane do......aur tum apna kaam karo aur muje bhi kaam karne do....

She goes towards other side getting all the veggies in the plate...Sujal just smiles then starts mixing the lentils which were now almost ready...Kashish comes back after cutting everything...he looks at her then takes out the frying pan and places it on the cooker...

Sujal: ab sabse pehle thoda butter daalna hai..

Kashish: phir...

Sujal: uske bad yeh pyaaz daalo aur usse thoda sa fry karna hai isme..

Kashish: Sujal.....iske baad yeh sab dal doon....

Sujal: Haan sab daaldo isme ab jab tak thoda brown hojaye tab tak pakana hai

Kashish: thik hai...tab tak main chawal ko ko dekhti hoon....

Sujal: ok...aur yeh dal hogayi hai ab isse band kardeta hoon

Kashish picks up the rice pot and drains the water ...she transfers rice into another bowl..... And Sujal closes the gas under the lentils and then starts mixing the tadka whilst watching her..

Kashish: jaan muje dekhe bina agar tum dal mix karoge to haath nahi jalega....

Sujal: agar tumhe dekhe binna mix karunga to shayad mera haath to bach jayega lekin mera dil jalega...ab uska kya karun?

Kashish: tumhara dil kaise jal sakta hai kyunki woh to main pehli mulaqat me hi le gayi thi....

Sujal: haan woh to hai..lekin tumhara dil to dhadak raha hai mere andar...usko kaise jalne desakta hoon..

Kashish: muje koi dard nahi hoga...

Sujal: theek hai jaisa tum kaho...

He moves his gaze and starts to concentrate on the cooking again..

Kashish: main tab tak table set karke aati hoon...

Sujal: theek hai...bas yeh ho hi gaya hai...main abhi lekar aata hoon...

Kashish takes the plates and rice to the table waiting for him.... When Sujal comes out with the pan of cooked lentils and places it on the table...

Sujal: yeh rahi garma garam dal...woh bhi tumhare haath ki banni...i can't wait to eat it...

Kashish: Sujal...yeh kyun nahi kehte ki humne banayi hai...

Sujal: jaan maine help to ki par sab mehnat to tumne ki hai

Kashish: thik hai Sujal...ab kya hum dinner kar sakte hai....bahot bhukh lagi hai...

Sujal: ofcourse kha sakte hain..lekin ek shart pe..

Kashish: kaunsi...

Sujal: aaj main tumhe khilaunga.

Kashish: to phir muje bhi aapki yeh shart manzur hai Mr.Garewal...

Sujal just smiles and then gets a plate filling it with rice and pouring the lentils on top...he got some in a spoon and mixes it together then takes it towards her mouth...... she opens her mouth and eats half of it and than holds the spoon and makes him eat the rest of the food...

Sujal: wow jaan!...superb!...kya dal banayi hai...maine kaha tha na tumhare haathon me jadoo hai

Kashish: nahi Sujal....yeh dal humne banayi hai to achchi to honi hi hai....

Sujal: haan after all itne pyar se jo banayi hai humne...woh kehte haina ke khaana jitne pyar se banao woh utna hi acha banta hai..

Kashish: woh to hai.... they again feed each other while conversing about their day..

Sujal sees some rice at the corner of her lips...he smiles and bends forward...he places his lips on the corner of her lips and eats the rice..she lowers her eyes and touches her lips...He looks at her intensely and smiles at her shyness...just then her cell phone rings and brings them back to reality......She picks up her phone and sees that Shikha is calling her......she smiles and accepts the call.......they chat for a few minutes.....then hang up......

Sujal: kaun tha Kashish?

Kashish: Shikha.....woh kal shopping pe mere saath jana chahti hai...Shikha kuch dino ke bad koi glamour party me ja rahi hai to...

Sujal: oh ok...chalo kamsekam tumhe ghar se bahar nikalne ka mauka millega..i hope you have a good time..

Kashish: I dont know about that Sujal....pehli bar main kisi aur ke saath ja rahi hoon Shopping pe.....

Sujal just smiles...

Sujal: jaanta hoon...lekin i promise main agli weekend pe tumhe shopping pe leke jaaunga...achcha woh mera credit card le jaana kal...kuch pasand aaye tho usse hi pay karke lena..

Kashish: thanks Sujal...lekin kal main apni shopping karnewali nahi kyunki Kripa next week mere saath woh boutique pe chal rahi hai....

Sujal: oh...ok...par phir bhi kuch lena ho to le lena..

Kashish: thik hai....agar muje kuch pasand aaya to main le aaungi.....ab tum betho main plates rakh ke aati hoon ....

She gets up but Sujal holds her arm and makes her sit down...

Sujal: aaj tumne cooking me bohat mehnat ki hai isliye plates main rakh ke aata hoon..

Kashish: ok Sujal...

she sits down on the chair and he takes the plates inside.....after a min he comes outside and looks at her who was looking something in the phone..... He walks towards her...

Sujal: kya dekh rahi ho Kashish?

Kashish: Kuch nahi....ab chale upper....raat kafi ho gayi hai.....aur tumhe bhi to kal SK jana hai ....aur kal main shayad office nahi aa paungi kyunki kal main lunch pe Shikha ko mil rahi hoon to...I am sorry Jaan....

Sujal: its ok jaan...isme sorry ki kya baat hai...tum parson aa jaana..

Kashish: thik hai to kal main driver ke saath tumhara lunch bhej dungi...

Sujal: its ok jaan...kal main canteen me karlunga...tum araam se wahan shopping ke liye chali jaana...and i promise main lunch waqt pe karunga..

Kashish: thik hai lekin Sujal...lunch karne ke bad muje phone kar dena taki muje tasli ho jaye..

Sujal just smiles...

Sujal: ok...i promise main tumhe phone kardunga...ab uppar chale?

Kashish: sure main bhi to yahi keh rahi thi....

Sujal: to chalo...

She gets up from the chair and is about to walk when he held her hand in his...she just looks at her hand then towards him...he smiles and lets go of her hand then moved towards her...he picks her in his arms and then starts walking up the steps..

Kashish looks at him in surprise.....then slowly wraps her hands around his neck .....she goes close to his ear and whispers....

Kashish: I love u jaan,,,,

He just smiles and turns his head to look at her...

Sujal: i love you too jaan..

Kashish looked down and finally they reach to their bedroom....

**********************************************************************************************

Next day and Shikha and Kashish were sat in the mall cafe at lunch time whilst talking and having some lunch...

Kashish: Shikha...to kaise chal raha hai sab SK me....

Shikha who had just taken a bite of her sandwich looked at her...

Shikha: i'm sorry to say mam lekin muje nayi creative director bilkul bhi achchi nahin lagti...she is nothing like you...and can never be

Kashish: Shikha...woh jaisi bhi hai SK ki creative director hai....aur Sujal aur Angad ne use hire kiya hai to kuch soch samaj ke hi kiya hoga....uske saath adjust karne ko koshish karo..

Shikha: i know mam...uske alawa koi aur option bhi tho nahin hai...aap kyun nahin wapis aajati SK me?

Kashish smiles at her while putting down her cup of soda....

Kashish: Shikha....ab main creative director nahi ban sakti kyunki Shaadi se pehle maine Sujal se kaha tha ki main abse sirf uski wife banke rahungi....main bas wahi kar rahi hoon....and trust me Shikha....muje aaj se pehle itni khushi kabhi nahi mili jitni muje Sujal ki housewife banne me...

Shikha just smiles...

Shikha: bohat pyar karti haina aap sir se...to aapne pehle kyun nahin bataya unhe?

Kashish: kabhi kabhi insaan ko apne andar ke jasbat ko samajne me dair ho jati hai....aur shayad maine to itni dair kar di thi ki muje to kabhi yakeen hi nahi tha.....bas andar hi andar Sujal ke liye pyaar badhta gaya....aur phir jis din maine Sujal se kaha usne ek bhi sikayat kiye bina muje wapas apni zindagi me apna diya.....ab mujse jyada aur kaun khush ho sakta hai jiski zindagi me Sujal jaisa pyaar ho..

Shikha: sahi kaha aapne mam...you really are very lucky and i am very happy for you

Kashish: sach to yahi hai ki akele zindagi nahi gujarati aur her kisi ko ek humsaathi ki zaroorat hoti hai.....isi liye ab tumhe bhi apne liye kisi ko pasand kar lena chahiye..

Shikha just smiles...

Shikha: woh mam actually maine isi liye aapko yahan bulaya tha...meri life me pichle do mahino se koi hai aur is diwali pe main ussi se milne ja rahi hoon...tabhi main kuch special lena chahti thi...

Kashish: I hope ki is bar woh sach me tumhara saath zindagi bhar de....I am so happy for you....finally tumne zindagi me aage badhna shikh gayi...

Shikha: mam muje lagtga hai ke wahin mere liye banna hai...i think is baar maine koi galti nahin ki hai...aur phir woh is field me nahin hai...aur aap hi ki tarah main bhi shaadi ke baad apni professional life chodne ka soch rahi hoon...

Kashish: I think tumne sahi faisla liya hai.....I am gonna wish you Good Luck for ur future life....lekin filhal to tumhe pata hoga ki aaj kal kaunsi gossip chal rahi hai is industry me..

Shikha: haan actually ek hot gossip chal rahi hai aaj kal...aapko yaad hai Abhinav Kapoor...jo aapke pehle SK ka creative director tha...uski company loss me chali gayi hai...uski position itni weak hai ke koi bhi company usse asaani se takeover karsakti hai...

Kashish: really.....kya tumne yeh baat kisi se SK me...mera matlab Sujal ya Angad me se kisi ko kaha..

Shikha: nahin mam...main bhi soch rahi thi ke Sujal sir ya Angad sir se baat karun lekin abhi yeh baat confirmed nahin hai isliye maine abhi tak kuch nahin kaha...

Kashish: Thanks Shikha... is news ke liye....dont worry main aaj hi Sujal se keh dungi woh yeh news confirm kara dega..

Shikha just smiles..

Shikha: ab agar aap sir se kahengi to yeh news wake me confirm hojayegi...sir apne saare kaam chod kar pehle yeh karne waale hain...aap ki baat thodi na talenge...

Kashish: tumhe apne sir ki wife ke samne apne sir ka mazak udate sharam nahi aati......muje tumhe yeh umeed nahi thi ...

Shikha laughs slightly...

Shikha: kya karen mam...ab yeh to pura office jaanta hai ke sir aapse kitna pyar karte hain...woh hamesha aap hi ki baat karte rehte hain aur pichli baar main Angad Sir aur Sujal sir jab unke cabin me agla project discuss kar rahe the to sir table pe padi aapki tasveer me kahin khoye huye the aur khud me hi muskura rahe the...to industry me sabse bada hot gossip to aap dono ka pyar hi hai...

Kashish: kyaaa.......muje aaj hi Sujal ka kuch karna hoga.....sabse pehle to kal office me aake woh tasveer ko hi hata deti hoon....warna kal kya pata Abhinav ki jagah Sujal ka SK loss me ja raha hoga...

Shikha starts to laugh again...

Shikha: aur agar aapne aisa kiya tab bhi yeh hone ke chances hain kyunki tab sir depression me chale jaayenge..

Kashish: tumhare Sir ko muje achche se aata hai kaise line pe lana....tum uski fikar mat karo ....kal se koi drama nahi hoga SK me.....

Shikha: oh...lagta hai aaj sir ko bohat daant padne waali hai...

Kashish: aur tumhe kya lagta hai ki tumhare sir chup chap meri dant sun lenge....woh sirf aisa dikhta hai lekin gusaa bhi maine dekha hai..

Shikha: really!..i can't believe ke Sujal sir bhi kabhi ghussa hosakte hain...woh bhi aapse..

Kashish: uska gusaa tum nahi samjogi.....woh mujpe gussa nahi hota.....woh apne aap se gusaa rehta hai..

Shikha: khud se ghussa kyun hote hain woh...jahan tak maine dekha hai woh to har waqt muskurate rehte hain...

Kashish: woh gussa muje taklif me dekhke khud pe utarta hai..woh hamare samne muskurata hi rahega lekin phir akele me woh gussa karega....aur kabhi kabhi jab jyada ho jaye to puri raat use neend hi nahi aati...

Shikha just smiles...

Shikha: jaanti hain mam...sir aapse bohat zyada pyar karte hain...maine zindagi me aaj tak sir jaisa insaan nahin dekha...kitna pyar bharra hai unke dil me aapke liye...khud se zyada unhe aapki fikar rehti hai..unhe aapki takleef se dard hota hai...woh sach me sabse alag hain...

Kashish: woh to hai hi kyunki woh mera Sujal hai jo kabhi badal nahi sakta.....ab tumhara lunch ho gaya ho to hum shopping kare......

Shikha: ji mam chaliye...mera lunch hogaya hai...

They were about to get up when Kashish's mobile started to ring...it was Sujal...Kashish answers the phone with a smile...

Kashish: ek minute shikha tum chalo main abhi aayi....

Shikha walks aways with a smile into a shop....

Kashish: to ab aapko meri yaad aahi gayi Mr.Garewal...

Sujal: hah...yeh poocho ke kaunse pal maine aapko nahin yaad kiya...lekin phone abhi kar raha hoon kyunki aapka order tha ke lunch karne ke baad me aapko call karun...isliye main lunch time hone ka intezaar kar raha tha...barri mushkil se ghadi me 12 baje...

Kashish: really....aaj to aapki pure din ki progress report muje Shikha se mile hai...to uske bare me aapka kya kehna hai...

Sujal: mere din ki progress report?..main kuch samja nahin...

Kashish: woh aaj ghar aake aapko fursad me bataungi na....ab yeh batao thik se lunch kiya..

Sujal: haan maine theek se kiya aur main sach bol raha hoon...tumhe promise kiya tha...kaise theek se na karta..tumne lunch kiya?

Kashish: haa maine kar liya hai aur abhi main Shikha ke saath jewellery shop me hi ja rahi thi....

Sujal: oh...theek hai main rakhta hoon...tum araam se shopping karo...shaam ko milte hain...i love you...bye

Kashish: I love you too ....Bye....aur shaam ko jaldi aane ki koshish karna ....main bhi koshish karungi jaldi lautne kii......

Sujal: theek hai...main jaldi aajaunga...and you take your time...bye jaan

Kashish: bye....

Kashish cuts the phone and smiles while walking towards the jewellery shop....

5pm in the evening

Sujal reaches home...he ring the bell and waited but there was no response so he assumed she hasn't returned yet...he unlocks the door and walks inside...then goes straight upto his room and to the washroom to freshen up...he came out after sometime and goes and stands beside the window while looking outside onto the road to see her....he waited for a good 15 minutes when finally he saw Shikha's car across the road...Kashish got out of the car whilst holding around 6 bags in her hands...she was trying to cross the road but wasn't able to due to the busy traffic...Sujal looks at her from above and then rushs downstairs to help her...she manages to walk to the middle of the road when she sees Sujal running through the cars to reach her...when he finally got there he took all the bags from her...

Sujal: Kashish mera haath pakdo...main tumhe cross karata hoon...

Kashish: Sujal....pagal ho gaye ho...beech raste me aage peeche dekhe bina daud rahe ho....

Sujal: par Kashish main to bas tumhari help karne aaya tha...aur muje kuch hua to nahin na...ab chalo haath pakdo

Kashish holds his hand than Sujal looks on the both side than finally they manage to cross the road...they walk towards the main door....Kashish opens the door and Sujal walks in placing the bags on the sofa...

Sujal: kaise rahi tumhari shnpping trip?

Kashish: meri shopping?.....maine koi shopping nahi ki...

Sujal just smiles...

Sujal: acha...to yeh itna saara samaan kiska hai?...lagta hai agli weekend ka shopping plan cancel kardena chahiye ab...kyun jaan?

Kashish: Sujal...maine tumse kaha tha ki main agli meri shopping tumhare saath jaungi to phir main ab tumhare saath hi jaungi....

Sujal: arre main to sirf mazaak kar raha tha...kya aise hosakta hai ke main tumhe shopping pe na leke jaaun...lekin yeh sab tumhara nahin to kiska hai?

Kashish: tumhare liye hai..muje sab kuch itna pasand aaya to ...i couldnt be able to control..

Sujal opens the bags and looks inside...

Sujal: kya!...Kashish tum yeh sab mere liye leke aayi ho...lekin iski kya zaroorat thi...tum khud ke liye kuch le aati..

Kashish: muje achche lage to main le aayi...

Sujal: aur apne liye kya laayi ho tum?

Kashish: kuch bhi nahi....ek aur cheez me layi hoon ...jo hum dono ki favorite hai...

Sujal: achcha...aur woh kya hai?

Kashish opens the last bag....

Kashish: main aaj hum dono ki pasand ka chinese food layi hoon....I hope tumhe achcha lage....Shikha ne kaha ki bahot hi achcha milta hai us rasturant me to...

Sujal just smiles...

Sujal: ab tum laayi ho to achcha hi hoga jaan...ab isse pehle ke yeh thanda hojaye hum dinner kare?

Kashish: zaroor....tum betho main lagati hoon...

Sujal: nahin...tum bohat thakki huyi lagti ho...tum table pe betho main plates lekar aata hoon...

Sujal places the bags on the side and then goes to the kitchen to get the plates and cutlery...Kashish holds his hand and makes him sit down.....than serves his food and serves herself.... He just smiles at her then they start to have dinner whilst talking...

Kashish: Sujal..aaj Shikha tumhari badi tarif kar rahi thi..

Sujal: oh haan tum kuch bata rahi thi na phone pe...ab aisi kya tareef kardi Shikha ne meri?

Kashish: kuch nahi bata rahi thi ki bahot jald SK bikne wala hai...

Sujal just looks at her in surprise...

Sujal: SK bik raha hai?...ab iska kya matlab hai...mera aisa koi irada nahin...

Kashish: ab tum din bhar meri tasveer ke samne dekh ke mere khayalon me rahoge to yahi nobat aanewali hai...

Sujal just looks at her and then avoids looking in her eyes...

Sujal: nahin...aisi to koi baat nahin hai...

Kashish: aisi baat nahi to tum mujse nazre kyun chura rahe ho...

Sujal: ermm...maine kab nazre churayi....main to khaane ko dekh raha tha...waise nice food...really tasty...

He was clearly trying to change the topic somehow..He was about to eat when Kashish holds his hand....he looks at her in surprise...........

Kashish: agar tum kehna nahi chahte to ...its ok...lekin kabhi bhi tum mujse nazre churake baat badal ne ki koshish mat karna.....tumhe pata hai tum jab bhi aisa karte ho muje ek ajeeb sa darr lagta hai..

He just placed the spoon down and holds her hand in his looking into her eyes...

Sujal: kis baat ka darr lagta hai tumhe Kashish...main aisa kuch bhi nahin karunga jisse tumhe kabhi takleef ho...

Kashish: nahi....woh kuch purani yaadein judi huyi hai....

Sujal: i'm really sorry Kashish...i promise aaj ke baad main kabhi bhi tumse nazre churake baat nahin karunga...aur jahan tak tumhari tasveer ko dekhne ka sawaal hai to haan main dekhta hoon usse...har pal tumhare baare me sochta hoon main...kyunki bohat pyar karta hoon main tumse...khud se bhi zyada...tum mera wajood ho Kashish...tumhare binna me kuch nahin...

Kashish: Sujal tumhe sorry kehne ki zaroorat nahi kyunki tumhe to waje hi pata nahi.......pata hai Sujal....Harsh Sinha hamesha mom se aisa hi karte hai.....mom jab bhi koi sawaal karti to bas aise hi nazre churake bahar chale jate aur Mom mere saamne roti rehti...bas isi liye muje Mom ki yaad aa gayi.....aur muje koi aitraaz nahi Sujal.....main to aise hi mazak kar rahi thi.....muje bahot khushi hai ki tum mere bare me hamesha sochte ho ....aur kya main nahi janti ki tum mujse kitna pyaar karte ho....aur main bhi to tumse bahot pyaar karti hoon...

Sujal lets go of her hand and holds her face making her look into his eyes...

Sujal: main jaanta hoon ki tumhare dad ne bohat galat kiya mom ke saath...unhone jo ghav tumhe aur mom ko diye hain,shayad unhe bharne me umar beet jaayegi...lekin aaj ke baad main aisa kabhi nahin karunga...kyunki main unke jaisa nahin hoon aur na hi banna chahta hoon...yakeen maano main tumhe kabhi bhi dhoka nahin dunga...shayad tumse zyada muje tumhari zaroorat hai...aur tum mujse kitna pyar karti ho woh main achchi tarah se jaanta hoon...aur main vaada karta hoon ke yeh pyar zindagi bhar tak kayam rahega..

Kashish: I love you Sujal aur muje yakeen hai ki tum hamesha mere saath rahonge her janam me....kyunki yeh sirf mera yakeen nahi...balke mera pyaar hai jo jootha nahi ho sakta..

Sujal: aur main tumhare is pyar ko kabhi bhi jhoota saabit nahin hone dunga...hamesha tumse itna hi pyar karunga main..

Kashish: woh to ab muje pakka yakeen hai ki tumhara pyaar kam nahi honewala....ab tum apna dinner pura karo...

Sujal: aur tum bhi theek se khaao...jab tak tum theek se nahin khati mera dinner poora kaise hoga..

Kashish: achcha baba main bhi kha lungi...

Sujal just smiles and lets go of her then starts to eat his dinner..

**********************************************************************************************

11pm at night

Sujal and Kashish were lying down in the bed after getting changed...Kashish's head was on his arm whilst he was running his fingers in her hair...

Kashish: Sujal...main tumse kuch zaroori baat karna chahti hoon....

Sujal: hmm...kaho na kya baat hai?

Kashish: tumne kuch Abhinav ki company ke bare me suna...

He just looked towards her...

Sujal: hmmm...uski company loss me ja rahi hai aur saath hi saath woh bhi...

Kashish: to tumhe pata hai aur tum kuch nahi kar rahe...

Sujal: Kashish abhi to initial stage hai...thoda waqt guzarne do phir dekhenge...aur waise bhi hum abhi projects me busy hain..

Kashish: agar tum chaho to main is project ko follow kar sakti hoon...

Sujal just looks at her...

Sujal: nahin Kashish...main nahin chahta ke Abhinav se jude koi bhi kaam me tum dakhal do...just forget it...

Kashish: Sujal ...I am serious....just think about....hamare liye SK ke liye kitna achcha rahega....we will be on top only..

Sujal: Kashish please...maine ek baar na kaha na...aur nahin ka matlab nahin...tum is baat ko bhool jao..

Kashish didnt say anything because she knew that he is seriouse about it....She just moved little bit back and try to go to sleep....

Sujal: Kashish...main jaanta hoon ke tumhe burra lagga lekin mere liye tumhari security se badh kar aur kuch nahin...tum Abhinav ko jaanti ho na...aur tumko lekar main koi risk nahin lesakta...

Kashish: Sujal....muje koi bura nahi laga.....raat bahot ho gayi hai .....tum so jao...

Sujal just looks at her...she her eyes are closed...he gets a feeling that she is still upset so decides to cheer her up...he holds her waist and pulls her back into his arms...he slowly bends forward and kisses her cheek...

Sujal: lekin muje abhi neend nahin arahi...

Kashish opens her eyes and looks at him....

Kashish: aur woh kyun nahi aa rahi..

Sujal: kyunki tum jo mere saamne ho...jab tak tum saamne rehti ho to tumhe dekhne ka...tumse pyar karne ko ji chahta hai...

He goes closer to her and bends town towards her neck...gently pressing his lips against the side of her neck and moving down towards her shoulder...

Kashish: Sujal....tum yeh kya kar rahe ho.....raat ke barah baje tum thak nahi gaye..

Sujal: bilkul nahin...abhi to thakaan durr horahi hai...

He gently started to kiss her shoulder whilst tightening his hold on her waist.......Kashish smiles at his words and moves her hand towards his head...........Kashish ruffels his hair and bends down and kisses his head......Sujal just smiles and looks up at her...he lifts his head and moves closer to her ear about to whisper something when he notices a new piercing on her ear above the other one...she was wearing a diamond stud...when he looked at the other side and noticed her other ear was exactly the same...

Sujal: Kashish...yeh kya hai?..

Kashish: woh maine aaj kaha tha na ki main Shikha ke saath jewellery shop gayi thi....to waha pe muje yeh pasand aa gaye aur phir aaj kal to sabhi pehente hai...to maine bhi...

Sujal: nahin...muje koi problem nahin tumhare pehanne se...infact bohat khubsuart lag rahe hain tum pe...par tumne muje pehle kyun nahin bataya?

Kashish: woh...bahot dard hua tha ....aur abhi bhi ho raha hai....aur tumhe bhi to dard hota....bas isi liye...ple ab gussa mat hona...

Sujal just looks at her lovingly...

Sujal: bohat dard horaha hai?

Kashish nodded her head in yes...

He moves closer to her and places his lips on top of her right ear then the left...his lips were still hovering over her left ear as he whispers...

Sujal: abhi bhi horaha hai?

Kashish: thoda saa.......

He kisses her ears again one by one and then whispers...

Sujal: ab..

Kashish: thodaaaaaa saaaa hiii....

He again kisses her ears and whispers...

Sujal: ab bhi thoda sa hi hai?

Kashish: hmm...ab nahi hai...

Sujal just moves back and looks into her eyes then he lets go of her and gets out of bed...he starts searching the drawers for something...Kashish sits up and looks at him confused........

Kashish: Sujal....kya dhundh rahe ho...

Sujal: ek minute...abhi batata hoon...

He finally finds what he wants and pulls out some ointment...he closes the drawer and sits down beside her opening the lid...

Sujal: ab tum yahan araam se let jao main ointment laga deta hoon...

Kashish: Sujal....main thik hoon sach me....muje koi dard nahi ho raha ....main to aise hi keh rahi thi..

He just places his finger on her lips...

Sujal: shhhhh...muje kuch nahin sunna...main jaanta hoon tumhe dard horaha hoga..isse lagane se yeh naram hojayega aur dard nahin hoga...ab chalo leto yahan..

She looks at his finger and kisses it ...than she holds his hand and lays down ....Sujal just smiles at her then with the other hand he gently applies ointment on her ear near the piercing so she would not feel the pain...and he was gently blowing at her ear at the same time...when he finishes applying it on both her ears he starts to fasten the lid...

Sujal: lo...hogaya...ab sach me dard nahin hoga..

Kashish: Thank you Sir...

Sujal: ab tum muje bhi thanks kahogi?...aur waise bhi maine khud ke dard ko door kiya hai isliye thanks ki koi zaroorat nahin hai...

Kashish: thik hai....ab tum bhi so jao.....

Sujal puts the tube on side table....he goes on his side and lays down while pulling curtains.........Kashish looks at him and than snuggles herself in his arms......Kashish looks at him and sees him close his eyes........She kisses him on his cheek.....

Kashish: I love you jaan..

A smile appears on his face...he moves forward as his lips found there way to her forehead and he gently kisses her...

Sujal: i love you too jaan...

Kashish closes her eyes....within a minute they both fall in sleep with a cute smile on their face..
