So yup, as I told I will be writing a KR OS just the way we Kriyaanshians wanted the story to proceed.
A few notes before you read the OS :
* There is nothing between Taani and Rey. Nothing means purely nothing. Neither friends, nor a couple. For Rey, taani is just swayam's cousin sister.
* Reyam have something up their sleeves separately.
*The OS might take some time coz of my exams so don't force me to write it asap coz i won't be able to do that...!!!
Kriya Swayam Rey
I flopped back to the left side of the bed. NOTHING ! A work done for the past too many months and the result was just NOTHING. A mere NOTHING ! Why life has to be so hard? I looked towards my left, a photo frame of our whole group with us looking at each other. DAMN! She still had the ability to make me smile... why did you left kriya? Oh well, whatever the reason was I need my answers and I will get them by hook or by crook.
Your eyes told me that whatever you said that day was a lie... Oh well, leave it...!!! Main kya soch raha hoon? You know, tomorrow our friends and me are going to Goa. Finally, dance ban is removed and we were allowed to go over there. It would have been too good nope. Only if you were there... with me?!
Huh what am I thinking? I shook up my head. You in GOA? How is that possible? But oh I so want you to be there man! Leave it. Good Night baatcutter.
***
Rey did his daily routine and went off to sleep. On the other hand.

Kya karun... kya karun... kya karun...
Saying that swayam was confused would have been a gross understatement. Somewhere he felt he didn't knew what to do and somewhere he actually knew what he had to do.
-MindTalk-
Should I call Diya? No ways! She won't be of any help. Waise hi dono ki nahi jamti.
Rocky? No f*cking way! She hated him to the core.
Jasbeer? Arhh you have tried doing it swayam!
Damn Swayam soch... aur kaun hai jo help kar sakta hai? Mom toh bataane se rahi, you know it and Dad unka toh naam hi mat lo! When is he happy seeing his family happy?!
Gawd I will go mad!!!!
Kahan dhundhu main tujhe? Pata nahi kahan leke chali gayi mom tujhe? Teri toh haalat acchi tarah se pata hai mujhe. Roti hogi baith ke pure din but then, yahan pe kaunsa kuch theek hai. Rey ne toh tere jaane ke gam mein apne aapko sabse dur kar liya hai. Jhuti hasi, fake smiles these have became soo common from his side! ARH!!! Where the f*ck are you?!
Mumbai - No way pura sheher chaan maara!
Dehradun - Neighbours, friends sabko call karke puch. And answer? NO!
Aur kahan leke jaa sakti hain wo tujhe? Ab kahin jhannum mein phek kar toh aane se rahi wo tujhe!
Arhh leave it swayam! Packing karle kal Goa ke liye nikalna hai!!!
-MindTalk Over-
Swayam packed his stuff and went to sleep thinking about his dream girl.
Next day, the whole gang went to Goa (except for taani. Aashi is there too.)
***
As we reached there, I felt a different kind of feeling. The feeling, which I used to have when she was around me. When she was near me. "Is she here?" this question was just ringing in my mind like anything. Then, her mom hated dance and I guess she won't come over here without her mom's permission. So surely, she wasn't over here.
"Guys sab apne entry cards check karlo!" spoke out swayam.
Oh did I told you all that how much he had changed?! Guess the sudden departure of Kriya was not enough that Sharon to is just ignoring him like a plague.
Arhh leave it. Soon we all parted away for the respective one's but don't know why I was so keen to go to the classical section. Thinking of it once again, I made up my mind to go over there and see what's there which is making my heart go on a marathon.
"The next contestant is Kriya Ghai from St. Xavier College!" the host announced and cleared the stage as my heart skipped a beat. A beat? Dude it skipped many a beats!!! And there swayam was just passing by when he even stopped listening to the announcement and came here.
We both were just watching the stage hoping she would come soon and here she appeared !
Her back was facing us and the song started - "Mere Dholna Sun" from Bhool Bhulaiya
She started doing some kathak steps with her back facing us and then she turned!!! Damn it was her! My Kriya, My Baatcutter! A big smile spread on my face. Just as her performance got over she walked away. She just seemed like a dead body!!! What's up with her? Kuch toh hua tha us din!!!
Soon Swayam too excused himself and left from there. I wonder what's up with 'em!

"Hey!" I spoke out and sat next to her on the sand. "I took the right decision. NO?" asked kriya. Sigh* She still thinks that her decision was right. Kaise samjhaaun main ise? "No!" I spoke out, as she looked towards me shocked.
"No Kriya, your decision was not right. Not even a bit. You know why? For those whom you left everything, just didn't cared for looking for you and the one who you left is looking for you like a mad person. Maine uski haalat dekhi hai Kriya, he isn't happy. He needed answers. He need answer to why you left him. He need an answer to what was the reason for your sudden departure. What should I do Kriya? Man karta tha use sab kuch bol dun jaake. But you knew I can't do that. I was bounded with a promise Kriya. A promise I made to you. They didn't cared. He still isn't able to move on and they... they just moved on in a week damn it! Why don't you understand?" I replied.
"Meri dosti itni weak thi swayam?" she asked as tears rolled down her eyes. "Kri, just stop crying. You knew I don't like these tears. I have already seen them a lot since god knows how long!" I told her. The next second, she was hugging me tight and I was trying to console her, which doesn't seems possible.
"Mom?" I spoke as I saw her advancing towards her. I looked at her horrified and spoke one last time to her. "I better leave. Bye kri." I stood up to leave when I felt someone catching my wrist from back.
She nodded a no with her tear-stricken face. I couldn't help it. I just have to leave which is the thing I can't do. "Sorry kriya, you know I can't stay." I told her. She let go off my hand unwillingly and spoke "I understand". With the last glance, I just left from there.
***
I saw him leave as tears welled up in my eyes. We are siblings then even we aren't allowed to meet. WHY? All because our parents don't share a healthy relationship. I sighed as mom came face-to-face to me. "What are you doing here?" she asked while I just didn't replied and went away.
All this while, this had become too common between mom and me. She will ask question and I will just give it a deaf ear. I can't help it! First, she took me away from my brother and then she took away my life, my dream, my friends and my love! Am I just a toy for her to play with? Hell! I never like it. Never since my childhood. Oh well what am I thinking? I'm not here with her. I'm here with bhai and would be better if I leave else he would be worried. Just as I took a step forward, I felt someone gripping my arm tight. Ah, it must be my mom. I turned and tried to take it out of the grip when I froze on the spot where I was.
It was Sharon! Out of all it was SHARON! Am I dreaming? Uh, I can't as I saw others coming except for Swayam. I sighed, as I knew, he won't come. At-least until the point he think I'm here with mom! "Oh see who is here. Miss Kripa!" she spat venom. Ah that's no new for me. "Leave it Sharon. I'm seriously not interests to talk. And with you, its still a big no!" I played back. "Why did you left?" she asked. "Why do you care Sharon? I didn't left you. Anyways, we both never shared any relation except for hatred. So why the f*** you care?" I answered back.
***
I was looking for everyone. I needed a break from it. Finding them nowhere, I decided to go back at beach. At-least some fresh breeze will help me to calm a bit. That is when I noticed everyone over there surrounding someone. I heard someone speaking "Why do you care Sharon? I didn't left you. Anyways, we both never shared any relation except for hatred. So why the f*** you care?". Man, they found her. Sigh* there isn't any back out now.
"Heyi guys." I spoke out as I approached them. She looked in my direction flashing the same puppy eyes of her. I bit my lower lip suppressing my laugh. Oh, she will make me go mad a day. "Ah, Swayam see who's here. Your so called best friend!" spoke out Vicky. I looked around but didn't found him. Now where is he! "I can see Vicky. Plus, I met her even before you all." I replied and got a glare from her. "Oh, c'mon Kriya, just chuck it off!" I spoke out as she turned her face the other side. "You know, I won't!" she spat back. "Oh really, why?" I asked. "Swayam!" she spoke out angrily giving a glare.
"Miss Ghai, for your information I knew everything. It was just that I needed to find your where-about. Now I knew, I could tell everyone. I'm tired of this hide and seek game." I spoke, as everyone looked at me shocked. "What?" I asked. "You knowing and not telling Neha?" she spoke out ahh not again! "Sorry Neha but…" I was speaking as we listened a strict voice from behind. "Miss Ghai!"
***
I shut my eyes tight as I listened bhai calling me. Damn he sounded angry. "Yes bhai?" I spoke out trembling. "Aaj kya hai?" He asked as I fumbled. "Sorry!" I replied. "Ghar chal!" He spoke as I followed him quietly. This isn't gonna be a easy day. As we were just going, I saw him turn back. Wow! Finally he noticed Swayam! "Swayam?" he spoke out. "Ya bhai?" he replied. "Great I found you here only. Uncle is in India or not?" bhai asked. I rolled my eyes, as he knew the answer very well. "No.." he spoke out. "Ah, koi nahi. Well sham ko ghar aana hai. Goa waale. Engagement hai." "Kay, but kiski?" asked Swayam. "Meri." Bhai spoke out followed by a smirk. "What?" exclaimed Swayam. "Meri engagement hai, and you and your friends are invited." He spoke out as he turned and started to walk and me, I just followed him when he took an abrupt stop. "Tu kahan chali?" asked bhai. "Aapne hi toh bola ki…" I started to speak when he cut me in between. "Tera bhai wahan hai, yahan nahi!" he spoke out and flashed his dimples.
It took me time to understand what he meant. And when I got it, I hugged bhai tightly. "Bhai, you are the best!" I spoke out happily. "Haan – haan pata hai!" he said as he kissed my forehead. "Swayam, tere paas chodke jaa raha hun. One piece mein chahiye ye mujhe. And if you want to clear the 'one-piece' thingy, ask her." Bhai spoke and left me to have a tough time ahead. Arhh why did he have to speak about that.
***
All of them had a confuse expression on their faces. Guess that is the time to clear the things out. "Kriya, you got to clear it up now!" I told or better to say commanded her. "Do I really have to Swayam? You know I'm not comfortable sharing it with anyone except you." She spoke out cutely. "Dekh Kriya, if you aren't going to tell anyone, then I am. It's totally your choice." I cleared it up to her. "Fine!" she spoke out frustrated with all this.
"Koi mujhe bataayega yahan chal kya raha hai?" spoke out Nilesh. "You or me?" I asked Kriya. "You!" she replied and sat at a little distance away from us. I sighed and started to speak up. "See, umm I don't know where to start. Well, I guess I will start from her part of the story. Just a day before footloose eliminations, smriti aunt found about Kriya and rey's relation. Not only this, she found out about Kriya dancing and having a dance team in the college too. She always used to hate dance and the reason is still a mystery. So, when Kriya came back home, she blasted upon her. She felt as if Kriya had broken her trust. For one thing, she never like rey so ya, from her side kriya's and rey's relation was too a no-no. She locked up Kriya in her room. She was sure that she isn't gonna let Kriya go for eliminations." I spoke when bharat interrupted. "But she came!" he said. "Ya she came. When our team members went to pick her up as we thought she was late, aunt put up to options before her. She had to choose among those. Either she could have chosen her passion and love or she could choose us, her dance team. She chooses the latter one. She didn't wanted to leave us hanging after giving so much high hopes to us. That was the last time she danced back then." I completed as everyone was in tears including me. I looked at her side and saw her getting up.
"Swayam I need to leave. Ghar par bahut last minute preparations bachi hain. Kabhi aur milungi!" she said and started to leave as I went next to her. "Teri duty meri hai. And I'm not letting you go until you tell me that 'one-piece' thingy." I cleared it to her. "What do you want to know Swayam? This that I tried to suicide? I tried to jump off the cliff. You happy listening it? Please Swayam, don't try to make it just like before. Because you too knew, that I can never be that way again. Neither my and your relation nor theirs." She spoke out and tried to leave. "Tu galat hai Kriya, bhale hi un dono ka relation waapis waisa nahi ho sakta, but humaara waisa ka waisa hi rahega!" I spoke as she engulfed me in a hug. I felt my shirt getting wet and made her face me. "Hey…" I spoke wiping her tears. "I'm sorry Swayam" she sobbed. "Oh come on Kriya. It's fine. I'm not angry see." I tried to lighten up her mood. "Naatak na kar!" she said. "Accha baba, we have to go somewhere I guess?" I spoke out to her. "Ya, chal… maasi se milvaana hai tujhe!" She said happily – FINALLY! "Maasi! Wow, I never knew she is in Goa." I exclaimed. It is gonna be fun. "Yup maasi hain. Maasi, bhai, fatty and umm bhabhi!" she winked at the last word as we shared a laugh.
"Don't pull their legs yaar!" I said it to her. "Dekha jaayega!" she said as we both left. I know we both were just avoiding the others, but that is what they deserve except rey? "Use kab bataane ka socha hai?" I asked her. "I'm tired of this hide and seek game with him. Pehle Mumbai mein kahin shift hui toh wahan tak pahunge gaya, then dehradun gayi toh wahan bhi! Arhh! Aaj leke aa na use engagement mein. Please…" She spoke out cutely.
"Fine I will bring him but…" I stopped in between. "But what?" she asked. "Use kya bol ke laaun?" I asked her as she whispered something in my ear. "Woah… want to give him a heart attack or what?" I asked totally shocked with her idea. "Jo tu samjhe." She winked and left. I passed my hand through my hairs. This is gonna be fun!
