Part-11
Story So Far: Robbie confesses his real feelings to Kasturi and she just rejects his love saying it was all infatuation and asks him to never bring this topic up again ever...
Robbie felt like slapping Kasturi until she came out clean, with her real feelings...It would have been easier for the previous Robbie to that, because for that Robbie, all it mattered was his own feelings....But the present Robbie, before he could even think of hurting Kasturi, he would prefer death...The irony is the reason for the birth of the present Robbie, she herself trampled all over on his feelings and walked past...
Robbie could have very well been able to take it if he did not knew that Kasturi also got attracted to him...But now he saw it in her eyes...Even if she said that she is scared about her family and the social differences that their families have, he would have been able to accept...She rejected him simply saying that their attraction was mere 'infactuation'...that he is not able to take..More so, because he thinks that Kasturi still has this 'rockstar' image abt him in her mind...He is just not able to accept it that Kasturi can think so low of him..He doesn't understand why is it that suddenly what Kasturi thinks about him has become so important for him...
Now he is not even interested in the Party at home in the evening...But he can't hurt his family now..Unknowingly he changed so much because of Kasturi's love...The spoilt brat, who cares 2 hoots for his family, who always came late to his own Parties, who was so open abt his flings, is today at home, in time and that too sober...
Devika is worried abt the evening...She and Puru have decided that they will make the announcement abt Robbie's engagement to Ishita that evening in the Party and they discussed this with Raunak's parents also and everybody agreed that this was the right thing to do and would really bring Robbie back on to track, especially because Robbie and Ishita were childhood friends and Ishita is such a nice and down to earth girl who understtands Robbie...
She wants the party to be extra special and already the absence of Raunak is demotivating her...She spoke to Raunak twice already and finally Raunak gave her the idea that may be she should take Kasturi's help, because she is very good at crisis management...(BTW, here our Raunak has no clue about the chemistry between RK)...Devika hits herself for not thinking about Kasturi before and at once decides to involve Kasturi too in the preparations...
Chawla House:
K: (to herself)What is the point in feeling so bad now Kasturi...You have already killed yourself with your very two hands...I don't know how Robbie is at this point...I am sure I broke his heart..But is it really love???How can love happen between two people who are as different as me and him???I think we are just attracted to eachother's weaknesses...If that is true, then its wrong...Love should happen between 2 people because of what they feel for eachother, not because they sympathise with the other person's weaknesses...No, I did a good thing by waking up Robbie from his day dreaming....Its wrong...I am glad I did not get carried..But how am I to face him tomorw at office???Should I resign???No, that would make him doubt my intentions....I should pretend as if nothing happened ever between us...He is my boss and I am his employeee and I should never forget that and not allow him to forget either....
Thank you God, for giving me this strength to stand behind my decision...Now I will never make myself vulnerable to Robbie...
Meanwhile Kaushalya brings the phone to Kasturi saying her boss was on line..
Kasturi is scared for a second that it was Robbie so she hesitantly says hello
K: He..(clears her throat)..helloo
D: Hi, Kasturi.(in a tensed voice) I need a favor from you and sorry to be disturbing you at this time...Are you free now???
K: Oh maam, aap??Yes maam.I am free now...Actually I came off home a little...(Devika doesn't allow her to complete her sentence)
D: Oh that's ok K, I called the office first and got to know that you weren't feeling well..That's why I was a little hesitant to call you, but Kasturi, I hope you are doing good now
K: Maam, I am perfectly alright..Aap bataayiye..You are sounding very tensed..Is everything alright??(in her mind,she was worried about Robbie...and praying that nothing happened to him)
D: Oh, everything is fine Kasturi, but I am going to have a nervous breakdown abt the evening's party...We have invited all the who's who of the Delhi and I think I need your assistance in making sure the preps were going on well...Can you come right now Kasturi???
K: aaa, maam...(she wasn't prepared to see Robbie so soon)...theek hai maam, I will be there...
D: Oh, Kasturi I am sending the car right now and in the meanwhile you please get ready...You have no idea what kind of favor you are doing to me..Thanks Kasturi and thank God, really, what would Ido without you...
K: Oh maam.. Please don't embarass me...Its my pleasure and duty...
D: Alright K, I will be waiting for you...byeee
K:Bye maam, see you there...😕
Kasturi is really scared now to go face Robbie...But she is helpless too and right now she doesn't have time to even think abt all that as she needs to urgently get ready and go...(BTW, I borrowed Ekta's costumes for my Kasturi..She wears the same Pink salwar kameez that she wore during the rain scene in the serial 😉)
S/S Mansion:
Robbie is least interested to attend the Party now....He is just doing things mechanically while his mind is occupied with thoughts about his Kasturi...He decides that he isn't going to leave Kasturi at this and he is going to make her speak her mind out...
Preperations are going on in full force and Kasturi already joined Devika and she is taking extra special care on each and every detail...She is actually surprised with her own efficiency and questions herself,if this Party was for somebody else would she be as efficient.. and starts doubting her own intentions about forgetting Robbie...Neverthless, the preps are in full swing and Devika is much more relieved now...
D:Oh Kasturi, thanks for coming as soon as I requested you to...You are of great help...May I ask you to please join us in the party in the evening😃
K: Maaam..Actually maine ghar pe bataaya nahi...😕
D: Koi baat nahi Kasturi..I will talk to your dad myself and I will send you an escort while returning..So it shldn't be a problem..In any case let me talk to your bauji..Meanwhile, can you please see if Robbie is ready??
K: Maaaaaam...?
D: Yes, Kasturi..Any problem??Oh don't worry Robbie will not misbehave with you like the last time...He is a much more better person now, trust me..😳
K: Aisa koi baat nahi hi maam..I mean.aaa..
D: Ok, Kasturi, yaha ka tu sambhaal lena, mujhe aur thode phone calls karni hi, along with calling your bauji....(and she leaves leaving a dazed and confused Kasturi behind😆😉)
K: ye kaisa musibat mor liya hi maine...Reluctantly goes towards Robbie's room with a million thoughts shooting through her mind...
Robbie's Room:
Robbie is dragging himself and getting ready...For the past 1 hr he is in the shower and still least bit interested to come out of it...He is finding some kind of solace there, standing under the shower, with his thoughts about Kasturi and his new determination to make her confess her true feelings and also make her feel sorry for writing off their love as mere 'infatuation'...It is the millionth time he said to himself 'how dare she said that...😡🤢'...
Kasturi knocks the door but no response..She enters the room thinking gladly that Robbie is properly not in and she doesn't have to face him yet...She enters the room just to make sure..
The moment she entered the room, same time Robbie also comes out of the bathroom and is shocked to see Kasturi there...Kasturi's feels like her heart came into her mouth...She doesn't know where to look...Robbie for a second thinks it was his imagination but realizes very quickly that it is indeed Kasturi...
He walks straight to Kasturi keep his gaze fixed on her all through...Kasturi bends her head not knowing how to react...But to Kasturi's surprise Robbie doesn't say a thing to her and walks straight past her...
Kasturi is relieved and turns back to leave from there...
But to her shock, Robbie turns back locking the door and he is now walking towards her...
Kasturi keeps staring at him with fear and shock and other such feelings making her go weak and almost faint...
K: ye aap kya kar rahe hi??
R doesn't say anything but keeps coming closer to her...
K: aap wahi ruckh jaayiye..aap samjhte kya hi apne aapko...
Nothing that she says seems to be making any difference to Robbie..He is continuing his stride towards her with the same passion..
K: Meina kaha 'STOP IT'
R:by then he has come so close to her that Kasturi can actually hear him breathe...
kyo Kasturi, why are you behaving so weird???Is this the first time you are coming into my room???Is this the first time you are seeing me???
K: aa, noo, but aapne..in the afternoon..aap hi ne tho..wo sab..maine socha ki..(she keeps fumbling, not knowing what to say)
R:Kya socha Kasturi...why are you getting so confused???
K:(tries to get some strength..clears her throat ) aapne darwaza kyo band kar diya???
R: mujhe bas kuch pal tumhare saath bithaani hi...isiliye
K: aapko sharam nahi aathi, aise kehte hue???
R: Nahi, sharam kis baat ki
K: whaaat??
R: of course, dear...If it was somebody else, yes, I shld be feeling awkward..But with you I have no such feelings...Whether you accept it or not., you are mine and I am yours...and henceforth in my mind, we are one...
K: But I already told you, I don't like................
R: he comes so close to her that Kasturi was forced to stop completing her sentence ...
