Part 6
Kali was finally done helping Gauri with her makeup. She entered her room, sat on the sofa and closed her eyes, to relax herself after a hectic day. She felt someone's presence, so opened her eyes, only to see Yug holding a wrapped box.
Kali asked him, confused, "yeh kya hai?"
"Khol ke dekho," He handed her the box and sat next to her. She unwrapped the pink paper, and opened the box and looked at its content in surprise, speechless!
It was the pink dress she wanted!
"Yug, yeh?"
"I know tum kahogi ki tumhe yeh nahi chahiye, you aren't attending the party and all,But come on, accept it, you liked the dress, didn't you?
"Nahi, woh,"
"See, yahaan koi Dadi nahi hai, jo tumhe daaantegi, aur naa hi koi kuch kahenge and I know you never wore such stuff, but what's the harm in trying, right?"
"What? Yug, listen to me,"
Before she could complete, Yug pulled her out of the sofa and sent her to the washroom.
"I am not opening the door, unless you tell me that you have worn the dress." He said and walked off.
Kali stared at the dress, clueless. These 2 days with Yug had taught her one thing, he liked it when things go his way. Sighing, she decided to change.
He sat on the sofa and picked a magazine. But he was least interested in it.
"Why are you doing this Yug? Her sister is the reason why both of you are forced to go through, she doesn't deserves this, or does she deserve this? She deserves love! Will you be able to love her and protect her? Uske dil mein koi galat family mat rakhna, she has to know that you aren't meant for love. She is your friend that's it. Par usne mujhe khud ko Kali bulaane ka haq kyun diya? The name is so dear to her, she considers me her friend, and I hope I don't hurt her, " He decided to tell her his past...the shadows of the dark memories were haunting him and he hoped Kali would help him.
"Yug, I am wearing the dress, open the door..." Yug smirked after he heard her say this after some 10 minutes.
Kali looked at the two girls, dressed in black t-shirts, which proudly claimed that they were from "Samaira Hair Salon" in confusion.
"Mam, you look so gorgeous." The girl, who had dyed her blue and pink and trimmed it on left side, and let the hair on right side fall on her shoulders. The other one looked HUMAN to her, with her hair tied up in a loose bun.
"Thanks" kali mumbled, tucking some hair strands behind her ear.
"Mam, this is my Mam, Samaira, and I am Ashita. We'll both you help get ready for the party,"
"No, It's not required. Who called you here?" Kal asked in shock.
"Yug Chaudhary," Samaira said.
Kali face palmed and sighed. Samaira signed her to sit on the chair. She did so. The two girls started what they best at, Make-uping.
The two left the room and told Yug that Kai was ready in some 20 minutes. Yug, dressed in white tuxedo, entered the room and looked at Kali's reflection in the mirror. She looked like an angel, dressed in pink, with her eyes being highlighted by black kohl and lips adorned with pink gloss. A light touch-up only worked miracles to enhance her beauty and the dress covered her petite figure, revealing her shoulder blades and the transparent material showed off her waist. Kali just stared at her new look in the reflection.
She looked at Yug, who was walking towards her. His each step closer to her made her heart beat rise. She gulped and turned to face him. Yug realized that his gaze was making her uncomfortable.
"Looking good," He said.
"Thanks...but hum aise neeche nahi jaa sakte."
"Kali, its time you gave up your inhibitions, you have to face the world Kali. kab tak aise darr-darr ke jiogi? Let's go?"
Kali nodded and he turned to leave.
"Yug!"
"Haan?"
" I don't want you to be sympathetic towards me. Main zindagi apne hisaab se kabhi jee nahi paayi Yug, lekin insaan ki samajh hai mujh mein. Aap iss shaadi se khush nahi hai, but you are to make situation better for me is either because you care for me or you are feeling sympathy for me. Hum jaante hai, ki aapke saath kuch bura hua hai, and you'll require some time to tell me about it, till then, don't built a false hope in my heart."
Yug looked at her in surprise. How did she know what was going on in his mind. He nodded, unable to think of an answer.
" Maine aapse apna past sirf isiliye share kiya, to let you know ki I am broken, but that doesn't mean I'll fall weak that easily, all I need is a true friend to find myself Yug, and I trust you." She smiled. Yug couldn't help but smile.
