both came to the counter to ask if Sahil Arora had arrived but he had not...the Manager led them to the table that they had booked and both sat down whilst waiting for Sahil to arrive...
Kashish: Mr.Garewal.......main aapko batana chahti thi ki meri Kripa se baat huyi aur woh agle photoshoot ke liye yaha pe nahi hai aur phir photoshoot Marwa beach pe subaah panch baje hai ......
Sujal: haan main jaanta hoon...woh log do hafton ke liye gaye hai to waqt pe nahin pohanchenge...par aap fikar mat kijiye...main hoon na...aapko main le jaaunga Marwa Beach...just don't take any tension
Kashish: Thats so nice of you Mr.Garewal............waise aaj hume Mr.Arora se show ki sari baatein discuss karni hai aur parso maine Mr.Kapoor ke saath meeting fix ki hai .........
Sujal: ok thats great...main aapse waise bhi kehne waala tha ki hume Mr Kapoor se milke sab arrangements confirm karni hongi...par aapne to mere kehne se pehle hi arrange karliya...i must salute your dedication...really aapne jabse SG Concepts ko join kiya hai,hamari company ko aur bhi faida horaha hai...you really do a lot for the company...
Kashish: agar main kaam nahi karungi mere saath aapki reputation down hogi jo main hergiz nahi hone de sakti.......
Sujal just looked at her intently...her words touched his heart and he couldn't express his happiness in words...he felt so happy that he means something to her even if its his reputation she cares about,but it was something related to him...
Sujal: aapne yeh baat kehke muje jitna special feel karwaya hai woh main bata nahin sakta...its really very kind of you to think about my reputation too...thanks for your words...i feel honoured...
Kashish just looks at him and doesnt know what to say......
Kashish: would you like have some coffee......
Sujal just smiles...
Sujal: i would love to...main abhi waiter ko bulata hoon...
Sujal calls the waiter and they both order some coffee...after sometime the waiter came back with 2 mugs of coffee...Sujal took one mug and placed it infront of Kashish and then took the other mug and placed it infront of him...the waiter left after giving the coffees..
Kashish: waise kitne saal se aap is industry me hai........i mean yaha pe aap sabhi ko jante honge........
Sujal: main is industry me pichle 3 saal se hoon...pehle maine apni education puri ki thi college me jahan pe main Angad se milla aur phir hum dono ne apni mehnat se SG Concepts ko khada kiya...aur aaj woh company India ki sabse badi advertising company hai...lekin aap kabse is field me hai?
Kashish: kareeban 1 saal se jyada..........New York Univercity se hi sidhi muje Time square pe job ki offer aayi maine accept kar liya aur phir main bas......
Sujal: aapne apni baat khatam nahin ki?...kya uske baad aap seedha Mumbai aagayi thi?
Kashish: haa........zindagi ne kuch aisa turn liya ki muje yaha Mumbai me aake sattle hona pada...............
Sujal: agar aap burra na maane to kya main woh wajah pooch sakta hoon...aap agar na batana chahe to main aapko force nahin karunga..
Kashish: I am sorry main woh waje kisi ko nahi bata sakti kyunki usse muje taklif hoti hai........
Sujal: thik hai to main woh wajah aapse nahin puchunga kyunki main aapko takleef me nahin dekh sakta...i'm sorry agar meri wajah se aapko koi takleef huyi ho...shayad maine aapko phirse us baat ko yaad karne pe majboor kardiya..
Kashish: It's ok..........muje ab jine ki aadat ho gayi hai........
Sujal: zindagi jeena aadat nahin hoti hai...woh har insaan ki zaroorat hoti hai...aap burra na maane to main aapse kuch kehna chahunga...shayad aapke liye yeh asaan nahin hoga par hosake to apne ateet ko bhulake ek nayi shuruaat kijiye...isse zindagi jeena asaan hojayega..insaan ko ateet me nahin balke aane waale kal me jeena chahiye...kyunki jo ateet me jeete hain woh kabhi aage nahin bhadh paate...
Kashish: shayad aapki aur meri soch alag hai.........main ateeth ko yaad karke aage badh payi hoon kyunki agar main ateeth ko bhul gayi to mere jine ka jo laksh hai woh kabhi pura nahi hoga......is liye mera ateeth mere liye mere jine ki waja hai..........
Sujal: ab is maamle me to main zyada kuch nahin kehsakta kyunki main aapka ateet nahin jaanta...haan ek baat zaroor kahunga ki jin yaadon se aapko takleef ho,un yaadon ko apni zindagi se nikaal dijiye...isse zindagi jeena asaan hojayega aapke liye..
Kashish: aapse ek sawaal karungi...........agar gujre huye kal me sirf ek baat aisi ho to use badla ja sakta hai lekin her waqt aapke saath ek sa ho to kya aap apne in sare ateeth ko bhul payenge........
Sujal just looked into her eyes which clearly showed her pain...
Sujal: shayad nahin bhula paata...magar main un baaton ko yaad bhi na karta...agar har mod par takleef mille to insaan ko haarna nahin chahiye...hume aage barna chahiye kyunki har kissi ki zindagi me ek aisa mod zaroor aata hai jahan pe unki zindagi badal jaati hai...muje poora yakeen hai ki aapke har dard ke badle me aapko dugni khushian millengi aapke aane waale kal me kyunki insaan ko sukh aur dukh zindagi me barabar milte hain...yun soch lijiye jaise aapne zindagi me saare dukh dekh liye...ab bas aage khushian dekhni baaki hai...
Kashish: kehna aasan hai lekin main bhi to phir yahi kahungi ki aage jake aapko bhi aapki zindagi me khushiyaan hi mile........
Sujal: ab aapne kehdiya to muje pura yakeen hai ke aisa zaroor hoga...aur main maanta hoon ki kehna asaan hai magar aap kabhi apne vishwaas ko tutne mat dijiye kyunki agar aap burra sochengi to burra hoga...be positive in life aur dekhna sab acha hoga..
Kashish just looks at him when her cell rings.........she looks at her cell and excused and went to the wash room........
Sujal (to himself): kaash main tumhari madat kar paata Kashish...tumhari baaton se itna to pata chal hi gaya ke tumne bohat si choten khayi hai...kaash main tumhare har dard ko apna bana sakta aur badle me tumhe apni khushian de paata...par main ab tumse aur khud se ek vaada karta hoon...aaj ke baad tumhari zindagi me sirf aur sirf khushian hongi...tumhari taraf barne waale har toofaan ko ab pehle mujse takrana hoga...tum tak koi dard ya takleef nahin pohanchne dunga me...abse tum akeli nahin ho...main rahunga tumhare saath...hamesha ke liye..
Kashish reached the wash room and picksup her cell.........
Kashish: hi Mom......aapne muje phone kiya.........sab thik to hai.....
Nandini: beta 9.30 baj rahe hain tum kahan ho?aur kab tak aaogi?
Kashish: Mom main Mr.Garewal ke saath hoon woh aaj hume Mr.Arora se milna hai to hum unka Taj pe intzaar kar rahe hai........aur meeting khatam hote hi main aa jaungi..........
Nandini was so happy...
Nandini: oh tum Sujal ke saath ho...phir to muje koi chinta nahin...tum araam se aana...
Kashish: kya......aapko.......meri koi......mom ek minute mera dusra call aa raha hai....bye mom....
Nandini: bye beta...
Nandini closes the phone with a smile..
Kashish: hello Mr.Arora......
Sahil: hello Miss Roy...i'm extremely sorry for getting in touch so late...actually main kissi problem me phas gaya hoon...kya hum please yeh meeting postpone karsakte hain?
Kashish: hmm.........ya sure.......kal subaah SG office me...........
Sahil: thanks a lot...see you in the morning...bye
Kashish: bye........
Kashish closes the phone and then leaves the washroom...she walks back towards their table..
Kashish: Mr.Garewal........abhi abhi Mr.Arora ka phone tha ki aaj ki meeting cancel ho gayi hai aur woh kal subaah SG aa rahe hai............so lets just go.........
Sujal: oh...to meeting cancel hogayi hai...waise ab kaafi dair hogayi hai to would you like to join me for dinner?...i can understand if you have to leave...
Kashish: its ok........I would love to join you for the dinner.........
Sujal just smiles and was feeling so happy that she didn't refuse...
Sujal: thanks a lot Kashish...acha yeh bataiye kya khaana chahengi aap?
Kashish: anything.........jo aapko pasand ho aur waise bhi this is my first time at Taj.........
Sujal: oh yes ofcourse...to aaj phir waakay me kuch special hona chahiye...waiter....
The waiter comes to the table and Sujal orders a selection of every kind of dish that was popular...the waiter leaves and Sujal and Kashish get engrossed in talking about the upcoming fashion show...when the food arrives...Kashish was surprised to see so many dishes there...
Kashish: lagta hai aapko khane se bahot pyar hai...........
Sujal laughs slightly...
Sujal: pyar to hai...par itna bhi nahin jitna nazar aaraha hai...woh actually maine socha yeh aapka first time hai to sab popular dishes mangwa lun,taki agar aap dubara aaye to aapko pata ho ke kaunsi dish aapko zyada achi lagti hai...so aap sab try kijiye..
Kashish: Mr.Garewal main itna jyada khana bhi nahi kha sakti aur phir main bahar khane lagi to ghar pe mom ka kya hoga........
Sujal: to agli baar aunty ko bhi saath le aayenge...unhe kaise chod sakte hain hum...i mean aap...woh maine notice kiya hai ki aap dono ke beech bohat pyar hai.,
Kashish: hum dono hi ek dusre ke jine ka sahara hai aur Mom bahar ka khana nahi kha sakti........unhe diabetes hai aur main koi risk nahi lena chahti.......
Sujal: main samaj sakta hoon...jab baat kissi apne ki ho to insaan kabhi bhi risk nahin le sakta...aap bohat lucky hain ki aap ke paas aapki mom hai...main to barson pehle hi apne parents ko kho chukka hoon...mera sahara to Angad aur Kripa hi hain...agar woh na hote to shayad aaj main yahan na hota..
Kashish: to mere khayal se aapko shaadi kar leni chahiye.........
Sujal just smiles...
Sujal: main bhi pichle kuch waqt se yahin soch raha hoon...par aapko kya lagta hai,muje kis type ki ladki se shaadi karni chahiye...i mean uski personality kaisi honi chahiye?
Kashish: aapko dekhke aisa lagta hai ki aapki patni bilkul hindustani honi chahiye..........jiska din apne pati se leke raat unke intzaar me ho........jo sabse jyada aapko pyaar kare........aur sabse jyada woh aapke is adhurepan ko dur kare............
Sujal just looks at her in surprise...although he wished what he said was true but he knew that Kashish was a total opposite...
Sujal: aapki description to achi thi...par aaj ke zamane me aisi larki milna mushkil hai...aur waise bhi i think ke usse alag hona chahiye...
Kashish: tab to aapko sirf mere jaisi ladki mil sakti hai jo sirf apne kaam se pyaar karti ho aur jiske pass dusro ke liye koi waqt na ho.........isse achcha hai ki aap pehli wali se hi shaadi kare aapke liye achcha rahega........
Sujal: zaroori to nahin ke koi insaan hamesha aisa hi rahe...insaan badal bhi to sakta haina...
Kashish: kya aapko lagta hai ki main kabhi badal sakti hoon........nahi aisa kabhi nahi ho sakta...........waise agar is baat pe hum argument karne lage to subaah yahi ho jayegi.........
Sujal just smiles...
Sujal: aur khaana bhi thanda hojayega...yeh sab chodiye aur khaana kha lijiye..
Kashish: hmm........
They both start to eat again and Sujal was just watching her when he knew she wasn't looking...
Sujal (to himself): main jaanta hoon ki tumhe badalna mushkil hai...lekin muje mere pyar par pura bharosa hai...agar mera pyar sacha hai to ek na ek din tumhara dil zaroor pighlega...aur mujhe humesha us din ka intezaar rahega...because i really love you Kashish...more than my life...
after sometimes they finish their dinner and Sujal pays the check and they come out of the hotel when they saw it was raining........Sujal just smiled at the rain...he closed his eyes and held out his arms to feel the rain drops...it felt like god was showering his blessings upon him...when he opened his eyes and looked towards Kashish who had wrapped her arms around herself...Sujal quickly removed his coat and gently wrapped it around her...
Sujal: isse rakh lijiye warna sardi lag jayegi...
Kashish: nahi main thik hoon........aap apna coat le lijiye warna aapko sardi lag jayegi.....
Sujal: muje kuch nahin hoga...aur waise bhi aapka thik rehna zyada zaroori hai mere liye...chaliye gari tak pohanchne me 5 minute lag jaaenge..
Kashish just looked at him and didnt say anything and starts to walk after him...........
Sujal: waise aap jaanti hain...muje barish bohat pasand hai...khaas karke jab main bohat khush hota hoon...jaise ke main aaj hoon..
Kashish: muje na barish se khushi hoti hai na hi kuch aur.........kyunki mere liye to sirf yeh pani hai beh janewala........
Sujal: haan anth mein to yeh paani ki boondein behjati hain...magar kabhi in boondon ko band aankhon se mehsoos kijiyega...yeh duniya kissi jannat se kam nahin lagegi...
Kashish looks at him and he was looking so happy........Kashish couldnt stop hersefl from smilling at his innocent.........
Kashish: ghar chale isse pehle yeh barish tez ho jaye........
Sujal: haan chaliye...
They reach the car and Sujal unlocks it...he opens the passenger side door for her and she sits in...he closed the door and he came and sat on his seat...Sujal drive off to her house as she was showing him the way......after some time they finally reach her apartment..........Kashish and Sujal both gets off ........
Kashish: Thanks for the ride.........Good Night.......kal SG me milte hai.........bye.........
Sujal: thanks for making my evening so beautiful...aapke saath baat karke bohat acha lagga muje...you take care...goodnight...and see you tomorrow...bye
Kashish: bye........
Kashish walks in while Sujal goes back to his car still looking at her.......Sujal was just watching her go in when she turned around to look at him...he just smiled at her and waved...Kashish waved back and then turned towards her house...they were both unaware that Nandini was watching from the window smiling.. Kashish gets her keys from the purse and about to open the front door when Nandini opened the door leaving her in surprise..........
Nandini: aa gayi tum......chalo andar aao.........
Kashish walks in and sits on the sofa putting his coat on the side........which Nandini notice.......
Nandini: Kashish yeh kiska coat hai?
Kashish: Mr.Garewal ka.......woh bahar barish thi to.......
Nandini smiles..
Nandini: oh...to Sujal ne tumhe diya kyunki baarish horahi thi...bohat hi sweet hai woh...hamesha usse khud se zyada dusron ki parwah hoti hai...
Kashish: hmm............shayad............mom main thak gayi hoon main apne kamre me hoon.......aur aajki coffee Mr.Garewal ne pila di hai is liye aapko banane ki zaroorat nahi......Good Night mom.......
Kashish picks up his coat and left for her room........
Nandini just smiles as she felt so happy...
Nandini: ab muje poora yakeen hogaya hai ke Sujal hi meri beti ke liye sahi hai...ek woh hi hai jo meri Kashish ka khayal rakh sakta hai...usse woh pyar de sakta hai jiski woh haq daar hai...aur uski zindagi mein khushian bhar sakta hai...kaash Kashish uske pyar ko apna le...
Nandini wipes away the tears of her joy.......and left for her room.......
Kashish comes out of the washroom when she sees his coat on the bed...she picks it up and then hangs it in her closet so she could give it back to him the next day...she closes the closet and then lies down in bed...she was thinking about today's events and fell asleep after sometime..
