Part-10
Two months passed like that and now Kashish and Sujal had to start working together. Sujal insisted everyone that Kashish should work in Sujal's office so they could handle the meetings together. Kunal and Karan both liked the idea as the deadline of the project was in two months and they had a long way to go.
Kashish first refused to work in Sujal's office but later she said 'Yes' as she didn't want Kunal or Karan to be suspicious about her behavior.
Sujal also made sure that He & Kashish have to share one cabin so he was practically with her in the office from morning to evening.
Kashish liked to tease Sujal as she knew perfectly why he was doing all that. And she also loved being with him as she was just angry with him but inside she loved him very much.
Kashish was working in the office and Sujal was in a meeting. He was coming back to his office after the meeting when Kashish's phone on her desk started to ring. Kashish knew it was Kunal's call as they were discussing about a house in Switzerland which they bought for Karan and Nandini to gift them as they both liked to spend their vacation in Switzerland. She put her phone on speaker as she was reviewing some data in her file.
Kunal was also in teasing mood today as he just talked to Anjali who was coming back to Shimla for few days. He decided to flirt with Kashish.
Kunal- So how is my lovely fiance doing today?
Kashish- Lovely fiance? Lagta hai subah subah aapki satak gayee hai?
Kunal- Oh come on Kashish, someday your love will flirt with you… Think this demo as a practice…
Kashish- Not bad…. So how is my sweetheart doing today?
Just then Sujal was about to enter the office and he stopped when he heard Kashish talking on the phone.
Kunal(on the phone)- Kya karoon Jaan! Tumhare bina office main jee nahi lagta… Ab tumhari aadat si jo ho gayee hai… Main to chahta hoon ki ye project jald se jald khatam ho jaye aur phir tum yahan hamare office main wapas aa jao…
Kashish(playing along)- Yes sweetheart… I miss you very much…
Kunal- Well I have a surprise for you…
Kashish- What surprise?
Kunal- Tum jo ghar buy karna chahti thi na Switzerland main, uski deal ho chuki hai aur maine abhi abhi uski payment kar di hai….
Kashish(happily)- I knew you will do it… That's why I love you so much…
Kunal- I know I am the best…. Ok so how about we will meet tonight for dinner and I will show you all the photographs they sent us…
Kashish- Great idea…. I will see you tonight…
Sujal was all jealous and he calmed himself down and then entered the cabin.
Sujal(to Kashish)- Kashish, we have a meeting with Construction department officer tonight… He will meet us at 8:00 pm for dinner. So be ready by 7:00. I will pick you up…
Kashish- Tonight???
Sujal- Ya Any problem?
Kashish- No problem…
Kashish left the office and Sujal smirked as he was going to spend his evening with her and there was no meeting. He will tell her that the officer cancelled the meeting at last minute.
Kashish and Sujal were waiting for the officer when Sujal got a phone call as he told Piyush to call him.
Sujal- Oh Mr. Singh… So you can't come tonight… Oh that's no problem… we can understand… I will see you in your office after three days… No problem…
Kashish- What happened sujal?
Sujal- Mr. Singh had to cancel the meeting as he had a family emergency. He rescheduled after three days…
Kashish- Oh… No problem… we will meet him after three days…
Sujal- Well since we are here… Let's have dinner together…
Kashish- All right…
They both had dinner together and for the first time in few days, they both had forgotten the tension between them and enjoyed their dinner as friends.
After the dinner, they both came out of the restaurant and saw that Sujal's car's tire was punctured. Sujal called his driver and asked him to arrange for another car but Kashish told him that she would like to walk as her house is only half an hour of walking distance from the restaurant.
Sujal(to his driver)- Ok tum car Kashish ma'am ke yahan bhijwa dena…
Driver- Jee sir…
Both Sujal and Kashish started to walk. It was late night and no one was around on the road. Sujal was enjoying the evening and he was with Kashish but he was confused as Kashish never was annoyed in past two months when he tried to keep her away from Kunal. He never saw Kunal upset either that he couldn't spend time with Kashish.
He really wanted to ask Kashish everything but somehow his ego and her betrayal came in between but tonight he decided to ask her at any cost.
Sujal- It's so beautiful out tonight, isn't it? You always love sky when it's so clear and stars are visible.
Kashish- yeah I love it so much…. Everything is quiet and peaceful…
Sujal- Kashish, Kya main ek baat pooch sakta hoon tumse? Sach sach jawab dogi?
Kashish nodded.
Sujal- Main tum he sab se jyada achi tarah se janta hoon… Samjta hoon…. Tum se bahut jyada pyar karta hoon… To phir tumne mere saath aisa kyon kiya?
Kashish looked at Sujal for few seconds and decided that it was time she told him the whole truth as Sujal had suffered enough.
Kashish- Sach janne ki koshish tum ne bhi to kabhi nahi ki Sujal?
Sujal- To aaj main poora sach janna chahta hoon Kashish…
Before Kashish can tell anything to Sujal, her cell phone started ringing and she picked up the phone…
Nandini- Hello Kashish, where are you?
Kashish- Nandini kya hua? Why are you so tensed?
Nandini- Tum jaldi se city hospital aa jao… Kunal ka accident ho gaya hai?
Kashish (shocked) - Kunal ka accident?
Sujal was also equally shocked….
Kashish started to cry and she ran toward the taxi. Sujal also run behind her. They both came to the city hospital.
Kashish run to the registration desk and asked receptionist.
Kashish- Mr. Kunal Kapoor?
Receptionist- He is on the second floor….operation theater…
Kashish ran toward the second floor and found Karan outside the operation theater along with Nandini.
Kashish- Ye sab kaise hua?
Karan(with tears)- I don't know… I just got a call from hospital that he was admitted here by an old man and that man went to police to give the statement.
Kashish hugged Karan and cried while Karan tried to calm her down. By now all the family members have come down too.
Doctor came out the operation theater.
Nikhila- How is my son doctor?
Doctor- He is out of danger… His injuries are not that deep but he will need his rest….
Mahen- Kya hum usko dekh sakte hai?
Doctor- sure we will shift him in a room, but only four people can stay with him and all the others have to go back…
Kashish- Don't worry doc… we will stay…
Nikhila- I will stay with my son…
Karan- Nahi aunty…. Main, Kashish aur Nandini hai na… Aap log ghar jaye… Kal subah aa jayega….
Saguna- Karan theek kah raha hai Nikhila…
Prerna- Theek hai…
They all saw Kunal and left one by one….
Sujal was there all night in the corridor as he didn't want to leave Kashish and Karan observed a certain care for her so he didn't tell anything. Kashish was in dilemma as she knew she had to call Anjali to tell him about Kunal's condition. On the other hand she wasn't sure how she was going to explain everything to her and Kunal's family.
Sujal went to grab coffee for everyone and Nandini went to freshen up.
Karan- Kya baat hai Kashish?
Kashish- Did you call Anju?
Karan- Not yet… I don't have courage to tell her about Kunal…
Kashish- Neither do I…
They were talking when Kashish's cell started ringing.
Kashish picked up her cell and it was Anjali on the other side…
Anju- Kashish, Main Kunal ka cell kab se try kar rahee hoon but it's off… I am at the airport…. Where is he?
Kashish- I don't know…. Main Karan aur Nandini ko tumhe lene bhejti hoon….
Anju- All right… Ye Kunal bhi na…. Milne do mujhe….
Kashish- Karan will be there in half an hour…
Nandini and Sujal entered the room at the same time.
Karan- Let's go Nandini… Anju is at the airport…. We will have to pick her up…
Nandini- lekin hum us se kahenge kya….
Kashish- Bring her here guys… we will tell her the truth… she has right to know more than us…
Karan- All right… Sujal just stay here until we come back…
Sujal(confused)- No problem… I will be here…
After they left both Kashish and Sujal looked at each other and then Kashish looked at Kunal who was shivering with cold so she went to adjust his blanket.
Sujal was observing her and for the first time, he wasn't getting jealous of Kunal and Kashish. He looked the care in Kashish's eyes for Kunal and it was pure care for her best friend.
He was staring at Kashish and Kashish realized that so she looked at him.
Sujal(coming out of his trans)- Kashish, Coffee thandi ho jayegi…
Kashish- Sujal mera mood nahi hai…. You go ahead… And you should go home.
Sujal- You don't have to tell me what I have to do and for right now chalo yahan pe betho aur coffee pe lo…
Kashish liked the care Sujal had shown to her and she smiled a little and she did what Sujal told her to do….
After an hour, the door was opened of the room and Kashish saw Anjali standing there with tears in her eyes along with Karan & Nandini.
Sujal was also looking at that girl.
Anjali looked at Kunal and went to sit by his bed. She started to cry and Kashish went there to console her.
Kashish put her hand on Anjali's shoulder.
Kashish- Anju don't worry… everything will be fine…
Anjali just hugged Kashish.
Anjali(crying)- Agar Kunal ko kuch ho gaya to main apne aap ko kabhi maaf nahi kar paongi…. I love him….. I can't lose him…. Ye sab meri wajah se ho raha hai…
Nandini- Nahi Anju…. Sambhalo apne aap ko…
Anjali- I had lost so much in my life…. I don't want to lose my husband…
Sujal was shocked when Anjali referred Kunal as her husband…
*********************************************************************Precap: Kashish is outside of the room along with Karan. Sujal wants to ask Kashish about everything. Kashish gets a call. She is angry and rushes out of the hospital….
