Chapter-5
Gulaal had just come back from college. She had a splitting headache and had decided to take some rest in the privacy of her room before going downstairs to help out in the kitchen. At least that's what she told herself but she knew her headache was just an excuse. Actually she did not want to go anywhere near Kesar. His irrational anger had shaken her up and it affected her very badly. For the past one month she had been standing at a very precarious edge of self-control never once allowing herself to give into her emotions. But that careless remark from Kesar and his flippant attitude just threw her off balance. She lost control of her emotions which she had been bottling up for some time now and cried like a baby in one of the empty classrooms. She felt as if the whole world was closing in on her. "yeh meri zindagi mein kya ho gaya.main kya karoon,kisse kahoon apni dil ki baat,mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha.main kab tak aise ghut ghut ke jeeti rahoon.mujhse nahi hoga,nahi hoga" and she kept on bawling like a child. Thankfully no one saw her and after some time she collected herself, wiped away her tears and proceeded to attend the classes. And when she came back she was completely tired-both physically and mentally and she did not think she could face anymore hurtful remarks. But then she heard a knock on the door .She was about to open it when she heard Kesar's voice. That stopped her in her tracks and she froze for a few seconds thinking "Kesar kya baat karna chahta hai mujhse.mujhe usse koi baat nahi karni.mujh mein itni taaqat nahi ki main uski kadvi baatein sun sakoon,lekin darwaaza tho kholna padega" she slowly moves towards the door and opens it with hesitation.
Kesar was just about to leave when the door opened and he saw Gulaal. She looked a mess,her eyes were swollen and red and he knew she had been crying .she was avoiding his gaze, trying to hide herself behind the door. It was then he realized that she was scared of him. Kesar felt as if someone had punched him in the stomach. It was too painful to watch her like this but he could not take his eyes off her . He had never behaved this way with any girl and right now he did not know what to say. And he remained standing there in front of her door, tongue-tied just staring at her silently. Finally Gulaal looked up at him and asked in a small but clear voice "kya baat hai,kuch kehna tha" Kesar comes out of his trance "haan...nahi...woh main yeh kehne aaya tha ki...woh main tumhare liye kuch laaya tha,...wohi..."he extends the gift package in his hand towards her but stops midway when Gulaal looks at him with anger and confusion. "yeh kya hai"Gulaal asks in harsher tone "main tumhare liye London se...'" but Kesar is interrupted "lekin tumne tho kaha tha ki tum ajnabiyon ke liye tohfa nahi laate"Gulaal becomes agitated,her eyes sparkling with fire and anger "aur main tho ajnabee hoon na". Saying this she moves inside the room and Kesar follows her "aur tum shaayad bhool rahe ho main woh ladki hoon jisne tumhare bhai ki zindagi barbaad kar di.haan dekho na meri zindagi tho aabad hai,main bikul maze mein hoon,aish kar rahi hoon is bade se ghar mein,is bade se kamre mein". Gulaal gets more hysterical with tears flowing freely now"pata hai yeh poora kamra mera hai,sirf mera hai.dekha na main kitni khush hoon. Tumhe pata hai mere pati aksar business ke silsile mein baahar rehte hain lekin bahut khayaal rakhte hain mera.mujhse itna pyaar jo karte hain" now Kesar was really scared. Gulaal was uttering gibberish and making no sense at all and he did not know what to do. He called her name loudly to get her back to her senses but it did not work. So he finally grabbed her shoulders and gave her a good shaking calling out her name "Gulaal,hosh mein aao yeh sab kya bol rahi ho.shaant ho jaao" Gulaal who had a wild look in her eyes suddenly stops muttering and looks into his eyes. "Gulaal tum theek tho ho na", Gulaal looks at him in surprise. This is the first time anyone asked her this question since that unfortunate incident. Emotions overwhelm her once more and she just collapses in his arms. He holds her comfortingly "nahi, main theek nahi hoon", and she continues to cry in his arms. Kesar knows that he is completely responsible for this emotional breakdown and he tries to calm her down holding her, quietly giving her support. Slowly Gulaal stops crying and for a second she holds on to him feeling secure and warm. Then she realizes what she is doing and hastily moves away from Kesar. There is an awkward tension betweem them. "woh...main actually tumse sorry kehne aaya tha.mujhe tumhaare saath aisa bartaav nahi karna chahiye tha.main kisi aur ka gussa tum par nikaal raha tha jo bilkul galat hai.mujhe maaf kardo Gulaal.aage se aisa kabhi nahi hoga.tum agar chaaho tho mujhe thappad maarlo-main chup chaap kha loonga par baaki ghar waalon ko mat bataana aur dekho maine kaan bhi pakad liye,maaf kardo na Gulaal", he looks at her with a puppy dog expression and a mischievous glint in his eyes.Gulaal takes one look at his expression and breaks into a full blown laugh. Kesar is relieved to see her smile and he too joins her. After a few seconds he gives her the gift that he got for her "ab yeh tum jaldi se accept karlo aur phir hum dost ban jaayenge" "aur agar nahi liya tho.."Gulaal teases" nahi liya..tho bhi dost ban jaayenge lekin mujhe pata hai ki tum yeh zaroor logi kyunki tabhi mujhe yakeen hoga ki tumne mujhe maaf kar diya" Kesar says earnestly.Gulaal quickly takes the gift from him and they shake hands and Kesar says happily "friends" Gulaal replies "haan baba friends".
