Part-13
Story So Far:Robbie is still trying to make Kasturi realize her real feelings..He is missing Raunak there in the party...
R: Raunak must also be missing us, he is all alone there working and we are all enjoying..Cha, I feel like somehow bringing him back here, atleast for this one evening...I know he is coming tomorw morning...But what is the point, duffer will miss everything...😕
While he was lost in his thoughts like this, Kasturi was observing him from another corner and was wondering as to why Robbie is looking so dejected suddenly....She did not like that look on his face and her first impulse was to go and check with him if everythig is alright...But then again, she says, she shouldn't get too involved with his matters or for that matter anybody elste's here because she is just an employee and that she should never forget....That thought didn't quite satisfy her subconscious mind which kept running one track of Robbie all through, eversince he confessed his confusions and feeling to her in that afternoon...
Robbie gets snapped out of his thoughts by a subtle punch on his back and he turns around with shock to find that person...
R: youuuuuuuu
RA: ahaaa..see I am here...
R: Today is my lucky day..Aaj mein agar Bhagwaan se chaand bhi maangoonga na, wo bhi mil jaayegaa...😃
RA: you call me duffer, duffer, Duffer mein hu ki tu???How did you even imagine that I wouldn't be here, aisa kabhi hua hi kya???😡
R: chal yaar, tu hee to ro raha tha na, subah phone pe..Mujhe kya pata, aisa nautanki niklega tu..😛
RA: Anyways, today is ur b'day and I will reserve my choicest words for you for tomorw..Aaj to jaane deta hu...Chal mein fresh hokar aata hu thodi der me..
R: Duffer, wish bhi karega ki nahi...
RA: Oh ya, wo formality bhi hi na, aa gale lag ja..😛😆
R: chal yaar, tujhe koi fikar hee nahi hi, mein nahi lagunga gale wale..jao
RA: he takes out a nice and a beautiful gift box and gives it to him and gives a bear hug to Robbie and wishes him that his every wish should be fulfilled and their friendship should always flourish like that, and God should grant him the opprtunity of always putting his friendship with Robbie before anything else in his life...
He tells Robbie tat there are 2 rings in that box and one is for him and the other one is for that special someone in his life who will be with him in this world and beyond...
They get emotional and their suppressed tears eat up the rest of the words they wanted to say to eachother...
RA: he only first comes out of that and tries to cheer up Robbie as well
.BTW, ye kya yaar, why were you missing me so much??Jawaan ladke ho,mere peeche bhaagna ache lakshan nahi hi bachoo, itne saare ladkiya hi, jo tere aage peeche ghoomti rehti hi, kaha hi wo sab aaj???I don't see any of your so called' dil ke tukde' here...😆
R:hehe, very funny...😡, that's why I was missing you so much na..I have so much to tell you...😳
RA: whaat, don't tell me you fell in love
R: samjho aisa hee kuch hi..😳
RA:Whaaat??(happy and shocked at the same time)Acha to ab bolo bhi wo lucky girl koun hi...
R: you know her too, guess???
RA: hmmmm..is she going to be in the party??
R: nods his head in positive
RA: ahchaa...hmmmm...
R: chalo chalo, tyaar hote hote sochna...later on you will tell everybody that I got you delayed...Now you go get ready first...
RA: Okie dokie..sounds good...😃
Raunak leaves from there to get ready...
R: wooow what a coincindence?Raunak proved to be my bestest friend yet again...How come he thought of 2 rings and my special someone and all that..I did not even tell him anything at all...
He suddenly spots Kasturi , who is busy talking to the DJ of the party, about something...And he wanted to go show her that gift that Raunak got him...
Robbie walks up to Kasturi and clears his throat to draw her attention..
K: she turns towards him...Yes, Sir...
R: I need to talk to you...
K: give me a minute sir, I am just about to be done...( and turns back to the DJ and continues with her instructions)
R: he stands there only and keeps observing her...he finds it quite cute the way she was using her hands while talking and the sounds that the bangles were making...Its like music to his ears...and her ear hangings, were moving in rhythm with her head movements...Its really such a cute thing to watch- he says to himself...😳
K: she is done talking to DJ, and turns towards Robbie and wakes him up from his day dreaming - Sirrr
R: ha, yeah...
K: you said you wanted to say something to me...
R: ufff Kasturi, is there any way I can get you to call me just Robbie,without any sir var...???
K: yes sir...By firing me from the job...
R: yeah??? and then whispers to himself: wo to mujhe karna hee padega..I don't want my wife to be my secretory also and make her eat me up both at office and home...
K: what did you say sir???I did not quite get it...😕
R: I know you wont get it that easily, that's why I am trying to explain to you na...
K: she is kind of annoyed by now, with his same old banter and storms off from there..
R: to himself...hmm Kasturi aise nahi maanegi..Goshh, but I have to show this ring to her, right now..Give me some ideas, come one, come one...hmmm..
Kasturi is still busy with the last minute details of the Party..A servant comes and tells her that Devika maam is calling her into her room...
Kasturi goes upstairs and was passing by Robbie's room when someone grabs her by her arm and pulls her in...She gets terrified and in that fear she kicks that guy and both of them fall on ground....She gets shocked to see Robbie lying on the ground holding his stomach and wincing with pain...
K: sir, ye kya hi???😕
R: kya hi???Didn't you understand it yet??/You just kicked me in my stomach..😡
K: she is plain annoyed with this whole thing and she picks herself from the floor and looks at Robbie with eyes raining fireworks...
R: aise gur kya rahi ho??Give me a hand...
K: she doesn't move a finger and keep staring at him...
R gets up by himself and tries to explain, as he realized that this time he really really touched Kasturi at the wrong spot...Kasturi, wo mein...
K:She interrupts him mid-sentence and : BAS SIR...I have had enough of it...Don't you understand that I hate all this???I knew you can never understand my feelings, that's why I did not want to have anything to do with you...
R: is quite stunned at the way K reacted...😕
K: (the bhaashan queen that she is, contunues 😉 )Sir, when I said that I don't love you, I don't love you...And aise harkate karne se, na mere man me pyar paida hoga, aur na hi, aap kuch saabit kar paayenge...
R: STOP IT...Kasturi Chawla,,,,What do you think of yourself??Miss universe, jiske aage peeche ladke dum hilaate chalte rehte hi???Just tell me what is it that you think you are???
K: (with tears welling up in her eyes)You just said who I am, Kasturi Chawla..Yes, that is who I am and you better understand that, and leave me alone...Please don't ever play such cheap tricks on me ever again....If you do anything like this again, the next minure you will find my resignation letter on your desk...
R: Kasturi, I wish I could show you how hurt you got with what I said...Forget getting hurt you did not even care, when I hurled so many insults at you when I used to hate you...So what is the reason for getting so hurt on such a small thing I said...
K: Again..there is no point in getting back to same thing again and again sir...I need to go now...
R: (is very angry now and irriated with Kasturi's adamant nature)..Ok, you can leave..but before leaving, just listen to this...I pulled you into the room, to show you this, the ring that Raunak got for my special someone, he wanted me to put this on her finger as soon as I find her...Anyways, now I am not going to come after you...But you are going to come to me...Just you wait...
K: Sir, I already told you, I am not willing to accept any challenges...
R: this is not a challenge...I am just telling you the future in advance...Now you can leave...(with fultooo attitude)
K: Sirr, but you shouldn't..
R: lifts his hand and interrupts her in the mid-way and ....Kasturi, please leave, RIGHT NOW...Its not everyday that I can be so composed and you don't want to test my patience anymore...I will hate myself, if I did anything now and just for my sake, please leave...LEAVE..
Kasturi doesn't say another word and slowly takes an exit from there...
