Thanks everyone for sticking with me and waitin for such a long time to get to the actual meeting....
Part 6... Kasturi and Robbie finally meet......😳
robbie has now landed in Dehli and him and his tons of stuff is now settled nicely into Paradise Point Convention center, he has begun to unpack and notices the courier he forgot to open, no thats not true for robbie never forgets anything..or anyone.. he wasnt ready to look at the face he cherishes...to no end..the face that has taken him to heaven and to hell..the person that left his heart bleeding and walked away.. and never looked back, she never replied to any of the letters...why kasturi why would you have gutted me like that? you knew what you meant to me.. the only person that looked at me and saw my potential.. made me believe in me and the reason i am so successful is cause of you. In fustration robbie turns and looks at the the screens on the wall opposite to his desk. then he turns around and stares hard at the statue...how many times have i wanted to break you? robbie walks towards it and remembers the first day he met kasturi. He can picture it as it was yesterday, the water was clear and calm, he was walking on by the beach..skipping rocks across the water, the seagulls were flying around lookin for food...all of assudden he saw a head bobbing up and down in the water, he stared for a couple of seconds and then took his shirt off and dove into the water to help the person who was obviously drowning. as he grabbed the hand he dragged half swam back to shore and rolled her over and tried to get the water out of her lungs.. she started coughing up the excessive fluid in her lungs.. and that was when the world stopped moving.. that moment in time when your heart literally feels like its in your palm of your hands, like your insides are turning into butterflies...she had a face of a such purity and simple beauty, for it wasnt like she was the prettiest girl he had ever met but her face had a charm all of its own, he just couldnt stop staring.. her eyes were looking at him questioningly. for she was obviously i bit dazed..Robbie had said: woah are you okay?
kasturi: ohh my god, thank you for saving me.. the tide just carried me off. but the water was so calm.
robbie: the ocean has many secrets and the worst is you never know when the tides will change...kinda like kismath...(luck)
Kasturi: yeah your absolutely right, are you Indian?
robbie: Yes I am. hi my name is Robbie. whats yours?
Kasturi: thank you again for saving me..i'm in your debt. oh mera naam hain kasturi.
Robbie: bohut pyaarah naam hain.. soo do you live around here?
Kasturi: no not really i live closer to the university. how about you.
robbie: yeah i live just in a villa down the beach..
robbie offers his hand to help kasturi up,she takes it, and in that second robbie knew that destiny had brought them together...for an electricity ran through his body when she trustingly put her hand in his..she had artistic hands..very delicate. you know robbie says to her: there is a folktale around here about a merlady once would pretend to drown and lure younge men out into the sea..and when i saw you drowning that folk tale came to mind..
kasturi with shock says: seriously? what a interesting story, so tell me the rest?
robbie: usse pehla you'd have to have a cup of tea with me..and he looks at her questioningly?
kasturi: okay where and when?
robbie: how about tomorrow right here sametime? i'll bring the tea, you bring the cups... chaalegha?
kasturi: dhoorehgah, and aap mazakh nahin kareh hain mujhe se are you?
Robbie shaking his head say nahin seriously it is a folktale.. scouts honor...just then the wind blew and a lock of her beautiful hair fell on her face and she went to remove it. robbie loved her jestures, she used her hands alot when she got excited..
robbie: okay till tomorrow?
kasturi: i'll be here, waada?
robbie: pakha wada and he turned around and walked back to his villa...he took 10 steps and couldnt help himself, she was a magnet he had to turn around and look at her to make sure she wasnt a figment of his imagination. pleaseantly he was surprised kasturi hadnt moved from that spot she stood there thinking or just watching him...he waved and she waved back and turned around and walked into the sunset...Robbie the next day made enough tea to give to an army.. he barely slept a wink... he was so nervous. he mentally talked himself to calm down... at exactly 2:00 robbie arrived at the same spot at the beach and she was waiting for him..
kasturi: hi
robbie : hi.and they kinda had that moment of silence... hesitation where both know this meetin means more yet afraid of where this might or might not lead to...
kasturi breaks the silence first: so what have you been up to?
Robbie: not much actually i was a bit nervous to be honest wasnt sure if you'd show up today.
Kasturi getting a sly smile spread across her face says: ohhh really???
robbie smiling back says: yeah cause then what would i have done with all the extra tea i made??😆
kasturi: laughs for the first time and her voice is music to his ears... its the sweetest laugh...and fills the void of his empty heart....she says: soo robbie you owe me the ending to that story!!!
robbie: okay , so as the folktale goes, the merlady was beautiful she had long flowing hair and eyes as blue as the ocean....and she would lure younge men to their deaths..by pretending to drown...
but one day she met a mortal of such pure heart that she couldnt let him drown and so she brought him to shore and let him live...and so their luv story began..eventually they had a tragic ending...and their worlds broke them apart... its said that during storms she still is out their luring men to their deaths...
kasturi that is sooo sad.. that their luv story ended so tragically.. what was her name,
robbie: Ondheen..and there is famous crystal figurine of hers... worth millions.. exhibited in the museum here. i'll take you one day if your interested..
Kasturi: very much.. thank you...
and so kahaan waqt guzaarah gaya patah nahin chaal paaye din felt like hrs, months felt like days. and they would spend their time just talking , reading together, shopping in the small store around.. eating dinner on the beach...the best moments of his life. he remembered the first they visited the museum where Ondheen was, kasturi eyes' were in luv with the statue.. pheli nazaar main..
kasturi said: bohut he pyaari statue hain, look at her she's been carved into ice....its looks like.
robbie staring at kasturi saying haan bohut hi pyaari hain...sub se khoobsoorat.. and kasturi looked up and stared into his expressive eyes. they held so much tenderness her heart did a summersault and ended in her stomach.and she smiled back at robbie...
that night they walked hand in hand back to robbie's villa. it was so a beautiful place a paradise...for their luv didnt need much words just the look enough said it all..Robbie made kasturi tea and the sat down.. holding their cups.. staring at each other...
kasturi breaking the silence first (like usual)Robbie tum khabhi India wapas nahin jaougai?
robbie: kyun kasturi kya tum India wapas jarahi hoi?
kasturi: nahin abhi toi nahin but kahbhi na kahbhi to mujhe wapas to jaanah hogay.
Robbie felt his heart contract and said, tum mera bigaarh reh sakhogi?
Kasturi: kya patha, shaayad and she smiled a teasing smile..
Robbie: achay is ka matlab ke tum mera bighar reh sakti hoi... chaalah aazmaalatah hain...
kasturi looks up worried: is ka kya matlab hain? kaasa aazhmaiogah?
robbie: well tumhain main bathanah bhool gaya ke meri ek aatheeth bhi hain, aur kaal jab main kaam se waapas laut raha tha to woh mili mujhe, and we reconnected, hamara puraanah pyaar jagayah ek dusrah ke liya..
kasturi visiably upset now, says aacha, tum ne khabhi uski zikhar pehla toi nahin ki, kyun mujhe undheerah main rakha, kyun meri jaazbaathoin se kehla robbie?
robbie: kasturi mera kabhi yeh matlab nahin tha ki tumhain choote phoochaanoi, it just happened she came back and we clicked..
kasturi, with tears building in her eyes, says, aaccha, you just clicked...so then please unclick it....😭
robbie se aur nahin bardaasht hotah and he starts cracking up laughing...got yah duffer, come on kasturi kya tum nahin jaanti hoi ke meri feeling tumhari liya kitna deep hain.?
kasturi, wiping her tears and saying tum ne khabhi battayah nahin robbie, toi phir mujhe kaasai maaloom hota😡
robbie comes and bows down infront of kasturi and holds her hand in his, and says, kasturi tumhari kasam tumse pehli nah kabhi koi tha, nah kabhi koi hogay... aaj main kehtah hoon tum se ke mera dil aub tumhaar paas hain.. you have the power to break me or make me....tum shayaad mera bina rehloogi lekin main, tumharai bina zindagi meri koi maanai nahin raktha...robbie adn kasturi hug each other and make plans for their future together.. and as robbie drives kasturi home that night they kept staring at each other and when they reached her apartment blocks the got out of the car and robbie pulled kasturi close to him and held her so close, and he said : tum sunh sakti hoi?
kasturi said kya?
robbie's mera dil ke dharkhan?
kasturi its beating very fast...
robbie's like thats because tumhari liya dharakh raha hain..
robbie stares into kasturi's eyes he soo badly wanted to kiss her to make her feel his luv for her, to brand her as his, so she'd never forget the smell and feel of him...but he settled for kissing her on the forehead and walked her to the door... kasturi turned to open the door and then quickly turned around gave him a quick kiss on the lips and shut the door...robbie stood there totally numb from the kiss and the effect it had on him.......all of assudden the door bell rang, robbie shook his head and cleared the mist that had clouded his view.. and walked towards the door. it was Mr. Walia the PI, come in please..
Robbie: Aap ne bohut aachai kaam kiya hain meri liya thank you..
Mr. Walia: your welcome Mr. Raichand. i came to give you a cd on teh profile of the entire Saberwal family...
Robbie took the dvd from Mr. Walia and popped it into the player and turned on the plasma and both men sat down as a picture of Devika popped up..
Mr. Walia: Mrs. Devika Saberwal CEO of Saberwal enterprises..and mother of 3 ...strong willed lady...
next pic. is of Puru saberwal, Lawyer by profession but perfers to teach law rather then practice it.. a very sweet natured man and respect by many.. luves to dote on his daughters...and wife.both men look at each other and smile..
Next pic is of Ajay Saberwal, this guy is of intrest to you Mr. Raichand because he is one of the two weak links in Devika's armour...he's ruthless lawyer and isnt afraid of veering to the left to get what he wants...and make no mistake he wants to be head of Saberwal Enterprises.. overall a good brother and son...
Next pic is of Alaanah, she's your second weakest link, dying to find her Prince charming or shall we say dying to marry rich, apprently is very jealous of her elder sis, Kasturi...robbie raises an eyebrow over hearing this news.. interesting.. and the next pic is robbie shuts the tv screen off before Mr. Walia could click to her photo. that will be all Mr . walia thank you for your services and i'll be in touch if there is anything else i need thank you.
Robbie sat back down and stared at the tv screen.. and then he finally turned on the tv set and stared at the younge lady... and tried to see if he could see any of the old kasturi in her... she had aged over the 4 yrs..she looked more mature, and her eyes looked haunted...she was smiling but her smile didnt reach her eyes...robbie's heartbeat increased just starin at her...robbie rubbed his hand over his eyes... and shut the tv screen off. he opened the courier and saw Kasturi's diary in it with a photo of her by the pool she had the same haunted look on her face , he wondered what she was thinking about. The diary, should he read it, naah that wasnt his style, in moment of weakness he had asked walia to get the painters to pick the diary from kasturi's room...he'd return it get someone to put it back... and he placed the diary for safe keeping in his drawer.
Anita choose that moment to enter and say: sub teekh tara se set up hain?
Robbie: this is really nice..aub jaaldi se lets find who sits the board of directors.. i want everyones name and how much shares they own in saberewal Enterprises...
Anita looks at him feeling the adrenaline rush he was having that is why she luved him so much, he was always so focused..Anita envied the women that would win his heart, she just hoped it would be her one day...she carried on the daily faxes and emails working deligently...Anita walkes in and says: robbie yeh ek invitation hai koi masquarade ball ke liya, for a cancer unit that saberwals are huge donors too, an invite to a masquerade ball... he looked up thinking with a gleem in his eyes....and started to smile...
robbie: anita send in our acceptance i wouldnt miss it for all the proxies in the world...
at the saberwal house the next morning, Devika was talking to shivani, oh Mr. Raichand has moved in great things went smoothly i hope? yes. devika dropped the newpaper infront of kasturi as she walked on by and kasturi picked up the buisness section and sat their shocked lookin at the picture in it.. it was a picture of The Mr. Raichand sitting on his desk, he was gorgeous drop dead sexy gorgeous...but it wasnt the guy pic that shocked her it was the statue that was sitting on his desk.. all of assuden kasturi again got a foggy blur before her eyes and she could see someone drowning and the same crystal came from straight out from the fog. kasturi fainted on the spot......
next part tomorrow ladies...
