Here is a little something my dearest friends,, who I annoyed to no end, by delaying the update of this FF...Thanks for not trashing me yet and still keeping your hopes alive..There is no way that I am going to let down my readers..Its just that a major writer's block hit me and I tried to force my self to write something just to keep you folks happy, but wasn't satisfied with the outcome..So I deleted all that stuff...Anyways, here I am and with a fresh mind and a few fresh ideas..Lets see how this goes...I am dedicating this to all the Kasturians and especially those who understood Robbie's pain and are not trashing him for even the right things that he is doing....😳
Part:14
Story So Far: Robbie is vexed with Kasturi's denial mode...He challenges her that now its her turn to come to him and he isn't going to bother her anymore..They have a biig fight in Robbie's room about this...
Robbie's Room:
Robbie is still standing there flabbergasted at what happened between him and Kasturi..For a little while he feels bad for behaving that way with her, but then he consoles himself, saying that Kasturi now needs some tough love...He feels that he tried every other trick, now he will tryi ignoring her, may be this will work...
Kasturi slowly comes out of the room dazed and confused at the current state of affairs and how Robbie challenged her...Every molecule of her body is fighting against her idea of keeping Robbie away, just for her family...She wishes that there was only her and Robbie in this whole world and that they can just spend the rest of their lives together happy and not worrying about what the others would think....For a second, she just feels like running back into Robbie's room and cry in his arms and tell him how much she also loves him...
Robbie: Hmmm..wonder when she will be able to see my love...
Someone barges into his room while he was lost in his thrughts...
R: oh Raunak
Ra: yeah, hello b'day boy,what are you doing here all alone??Everybody is waiting for you there in the party yaar..Devika aunty asked me to get you along
R: yeah, I just spilled something on my tie so came in to wear another one...Ab chalo
Ra: BTW, what's up with you...You look so dull..And what is this??You are wearing both the rings that Igave you???That lady's ring looks funny on your little finger...😆😆😆
R: ufff, tu baate bohot karta yaar...tu hee ne bola na, whenever I meet my love, I shld give this ring to her??Now if I keep the ring in safety locker, how can I give it to her???
Ra: hmmm, waise sochnewali baat hi...
R: ha , tu sochta rehna, mein ja raha hu...😡
Ra : Ok, ok chalo...
R & Ra come down and while coming down Robbie involuntarily keeps looking for Kasturi...He spots her in a corner, talking to some lady...He averts his attention and tries to focus on something else...Meanwhile Ishita and her parents too arrive at the party and when Ishita notices Robbie coming down the stairs, she at once goes to him and almost hugs him to wish him once again, a happy birthday...
R: for the first time he is embarrassed and annoyed that a girl hugged him in front of so many people😛..He immediately looks towards Kasturi, who was already looking at all this..The moment he looks at her, she tries to look elsewhere, but Robbie caught her just in time, to find out that Kasturi isn't too happy about Ishita hugging him...This satisfies him a bit and brings a smile on...
Oh, Ishita- itni der tak kaha thi yaar...I missed you...This duffer also came late today(pointing to Raunak)
Ishita: (very happy that Robs missed her 😆)...Arre Robbie we met in the afternoon only na...and then I had to go home and get ready and Dad wanted all of us to drive together and hence had to wait for him...
R: Oh that's ok..I understand...( he is kind of bored with her long drawn explanations)
I: acha Raunak, its nice to see you at the party...Robbie was kind of not too happy at celebrating his birthday without you...
Ra: I know, that's why I am here...
I: so sweet of you
Ra:😃
Meanwhile Purushotham goes to the stage and requests for everybody's attention...Then he invites Devika also on to the stage...
P: Hello friends...Today is happiest day for me and Devika...Our son Robbie's birthday is today and we just want to let him know how happy and proud we are, to be his parents...(everybody clap👏👏👏)Today is extra special because we have decided to finally make the long awaited announcement regarding Robbie's marriage and engagement....( another round of cheers and applause)
R: (is shocked to hear his dad make the announcement without even asking him or taking his consent...he is so annoyed at his parents and doesn't know what to do...He felt like looking at Kasturi and see how she was reacting to this, but he resists his temptation to do that...He want's to make use of this to shock Kasturi out of her denial mode and come clean with him about her real feelings...So in 1 minute, he goes through a gamut of emotions listening to the announcement...
K: needless to say, 'she is shocked' is an understatement...She feels like the ground under her feet is being pulled away...Looking at Robbie who seems to be knowing about this announcement already, she feels really cheated...She feels that Robbie was trying to pull her into his love trap, just for fun...She feels like going and slapping the living day lights out of Robbie...
P: (continuing....) Today we are happy to announce that we have decided to ask for Ishita's hand for our son Robbie..We know that both of them like eachother and have always wanted to be together...Now I request Ishita's parents to come over on to the stage...
Ishita's parents are overwhelmed and so is Ishita...
Ra: woooow.Robbie tune bola nahi yaar...So Ishita is your love, ha???Hmm, I know you are a wacky guy, but never thought this wacky...😛..Ok, ok, sorry baba..don;t want to spoil your mood, was j/k...😳
R : (irritated)...chup kar yaar..even I had no clue about this thing..donno what dad is upto..How could he do this to me???
Ra: kya keh raha hi yaar??(stunned) ...you mean to say, you were not aware of this???But you are happy, na? I mean abt Ishita???
R: Forget it yaar..I have no idea what all this is about..I don't know how to revert it back...
Ra: so you don;t like Ishita??
R: did I ever behave like I liked her and wanted to marry her???
Ra: but you said you were in love and that girl is in this party..if its not Ishita, who else could that be???
R: chodo yaar..just leave me alone...
He goes out of the party into the lawn...
Raunak decides to leave him alone for sometime...He realizes that something is drastically wrong there....
Robbie walks into the lawn rather lost in his own thoughts...He bumps into someone and tries to hold that person from falling...
He realizes that its none other than Kasturi, in whose thoughts he is so lost in the first place...
R: Tummm???
K: aa, wo mi, aise hee, khuli saans lene ke liya aayi thi..waha andar bohot gutan ho raha tha
R: I see..(looking at her from top to bottom)
He keeps staring at her while she is embarrassed and doesn't know where to look...
K: hmm, sir, congratulations...
R: (annoyed to the hilt), kis baat ke liye??
K : announcement ke liye
R: kounsi??
K: arre, abhi abhi wahi se tho aa rahe the aap...Phir poochne ka matlab
R: May be I want to hear it from your mouth
K: I have no problem in saying it sir..What is there...I was congratulating you on your engagement with Ishita....( and she forwards her hand to wish him..)
Robbie accepts her hand and then suddenly strengthens his grip and keeps looking at her angrily...
K: ye kya behudaa mazaak hi..chodiye meri haat...What are you doing sir??Chodiye(tries to loosen his grip and escape from there)
R: he doesn't leave her hand but drags her from there to a little far away from the house into the gardens...
K: this is ridiculous...
R: How dare you wish me...(his eyes are burning with anger)Just how dare you..
K: Huhhh
R: I will teach you a lesson Kasturi Chawla...
K: please let go of me sir...what are you doing..I will scream and call everybody else here...Your engagement is happening and aren't you feeling ashamed of yourself to do this to a paraya ladki, I am going to scream now, ifffff (she couldn't complete her sentence because Robbie gets completely provoked by her screaming and all and decides to shut her up with his mouth...😆)
