FF: Kuch Khaas Pal_Part 43 updated_Page 37 - Page 7

Ashlesha stops the car in front of the house. She had been gone for three days and she thought that the trip up to the hills in Himachal would do her good. It would give her some breathing space, she thought.

Getting out the car, her thoughts go back to the encounter she previously had with harman and then when she saw prem... thought she saw Prem. Surely her eyes couldnt lie or then was it a vehem after all.

Getting a control on herself, and moving the keys she opens the door.

Its was awefully quiet and she went towards her room - Preets Old Room. She sat on the chair. Ever since, Preet got married, nothing seemed right. There was a kind of emptiness in her and all her hartred was directed towards Preet when actually it should have been directed towards Meher!

If only... If only, she thought, if only I could tell preet that I was doing this to get over him, to make him forget me, so that he and I could both move on in life!

Its never easy to get out of love. She sighs. She wondered what Prem would have thought, had he known, she was taking this step. Some how ever since he took a stand at the mandap of not being abe to marry her, she always had this deep found respect for Prem.

She knew she had been mean to her cousins, but thats was not her doing. She thought as if trying to justify her action.

A noise outside and Ashlesha wondered who it could be. She goes out to see who it was and was rather surprised to see Preet in the kitchen. Preet and in the kitchen. She was rather surprised and Intrigued. A smiled engulfed on her face and she watched in amusement, Preet looking for a vessel to boil the water.

Main bana deti hoon, Ash heard another voice say. It was Meher and she offered to boil the water for Preet - Nahin woh ... Main. Ashlesha look at him closely and studied him. Was there really a hint of sadness that she saw in his eyes?

Tum jayo, main bana deti hoon, Meher said.

Mere ko chai nahin, ma ke liye dhoodh garam karna hai

Main Garam kar leti hoon

Nahin Woh..

Tum Jayo Preeet, thake hue hoge.

Meher

Haan

Tum theek to ho na

Preet didnt know why he was asking this question but he knew meher seemed rather disturbed after their so called encounter with harman

haan - woh... eye lock for a few seconds before the eyes shift again.

Ashlesha, who has been observing all this turns her face again. She does not see the vase in front of her and collides into it. The vase breaks and Preet comes out rushing out the kitchen, only to see ashlesha walking over the broken pieces of the vase...

How do I tell him, thinks Ashlesha, once she is back in her room. Surely there is a way. She majes her way to the mattress, which she pulls from below the bed and sleeps on the floor.

All night, Ashlesha cant sleep. Her thoughts going to and fro from her encounter with Harman to the man she saw...

..........................

Ashlesha's Encounter with Harman.

Ashlesha pulled her car outside Mehra & Mehra Associates. This is not going to be easy she thinks. She never questioned Preet because she thought it was way above her dignity to do so but Harman - oh she had to give him a piece of her mind!

Mr Harman Juneja please. She asked at the reception.

and who may I say is calling - Ash....lesha Mann

Few Minutes Later. Ashlesha Walks in to Harmans Cabin. He heaves a partly sigh and a partly shocked expression at Ashlesha. Ashlesha, What the hell was she doing there.

Pretty Impressive Harman. Said Ash as she walked around the office. Harmans cabin over looked the cant area and was situated in the much posh part of town. Ashlesha , I ..errr, I am sorry.

Sorry, is all that you have to say Harman. Tell me where was I at fault or rather what my fault.

If only, she would understand, Harman was thinking in his head.

Harman loosened his tie a bit. He knew he had taken a cowardly step that night. If only, If only he could tell some one about what he saw and heard.

Ashlesha, I ... you know when I went to Maya's that day. Ashlesha was taken offguard. Harman, Harman was actually wanting to say it. A part of her wanted to tell him to shut up. A part wanted to tell him to go on. She really wanted to know the plausable explanation, he had to give.

Harman sat on his table and offered a chair to Ashlesha to sit. Took a sip of water as he was ... well nervous. Eyes Downcast., he began to tell his story...

Part 16 :

You know that day, when I walked in into Maya's house. I saw her perfectly ok standing by the terrace. She seemed perfectly hapy as her father hugged her.

When I rang the doorbell, for about 20 minutes no one replied before the maid opened the door to let the doctor out. Mr Rai Sainghania, thats Maya's dad took me upstairs tomeet Maya. Maya was in bed, and lay in shock, refusing to eat anything. It was very unlike what I saw in the room. Anyways, I comforted her and was going as I was getting late for the wedding. When I was leaving, I heard Mr Rai Singhania telling some one, ki kaam ho gaya hai, harman humare bas main hai aur juneja khandaan ko barbadi se koi nahin rok sakta. I waited in the library to talk to him and I came across a file, a file which was very old. It contained some newspapers papers of about 10 years ealier of when we were in canada. Ashlesha, it had papers and clippings of the time when our factory/business caught fire. All the case history, everything was in the fle, including a picture of bauji and balraj and of bauji with another guy - Mr Rai Chand. Mr Rai Chand's real name was Rampal Rai Chand...

Rampal as in Rishabh Rampal, remarked ashlesha...

Yeah Rampal as in Rishabh Rampal. Not striking him any more, Harman continued.

I poured through the papers more and I saw another paper clipping, which was mentioning about a bus accident and a certain land.

Ashlesha thoughts immediately went on high alert. Land, Accident... Surely it couldnt be..... or could it.

Look, Harman told Ashlesha, I know what I did was wrong. But there is no other way. I need to know what he is up to. I did this for my family -your family. The only way he will confide in me, is if I work with him...

_______________

Ashlesha's head ached as she thought about all this. Could this Rampal Rai Chand be anyway related to Rishabh Rampal. Land... What land was harman talking about. Moaning & Groaning, she put her pillow over her head , wanting to go to sleep.

Not being able to sleep, she decides to sit by the swing on the lawns.

She is sitting by the swings and Ashlesha has never felt this ease in her life. It so much better to forgive. Thought She. She had already forgiven harman after he bared his out in whar seemed an emotional moment for him. She was ready to forgive preet too.

As........

You are forgiven retored Ashlesha

What

I said you are forgiven

But I...

But you didnt come here to give me an explanation, is that what you are trying to say?

N......

No?

Y..

Yes? I ddnt hear you preet juneja.

Ash..

Dont call me Ash, you have lost that right and that too ages back....

Ash mellows down as she turns around looking at preet. He still stood there, not being able to face her, eyes crest fallen and looking down,

Ashlesha walked up to him and took out her hands. Hi, I am Ashlesha. Naam to Yaad ayega.

Naam to Yaad Ayega , what did she mean by that. Did she really think, that he could get over her that easily?

Preet looked up and Ashlesha smiled, her hands still forward. I am moving to Mumbai. I think a change of place will do me good. Dont you think so.

Preet pu his hand forward and said preet juneja ..Naam Yaad Rahega. Ashlesha smiles and in slight playfulness, mockingly punches him. Ouuch,.. he said, that hurts... Good she replied, that will teach you a lesson in not playing with peoples emotion. And as much as I hate her, Take Good Care of Meher and Be Sure, She and I Never cross Paths, Ashlesha completed her statement, flashing out her teeth to Preet in a huge smile.

Walking a few steps inside... Oh Preet, doo chehre ke jaise ek insaan hote hai...

you meam humshakal?

haan

Why you ask?

She replied... Shayad Aaj maine Prem Bhaiya ko dekha. Wohi Chehra, Wohii Aidaiyyan, Shayad woh prem bhaiya the, shayad nahin... madad chahiye, saath doge?

Preet seemed touched by her gesture? Madad chahiye, saath doge, Prem - what was she talking about.

prem bhaiya ko dekha - kya matlab hai. Preet - Woh Prem hi that. Ashlesha you have gone mad. Accha, I have goner mad. then fine, come with me to this abc news agency tomorrow and meet this gaurav sharma tomorrow. Dhoodh ka dhoodh aur paani ka paani ko jayega.

Why Ofcourse, Preet replued, the name jlting him for seconds. How could he firget. Gaurav Sharma, who insulted his father!! In fact why wait.. lets go, he replied

Where... abc news agency...What Now.

Yes Now. I have a few scores to settle.

Part 17 :

At the News Room,

We see Gaurav Sharma wearing jeans and a sleevless T Shirt, his well toned muscles showing and causing alot of flutter amongst the girls in the newsroom. He has a sleevless jacket too that he wearing and is wearing sleek sports shoes. His Hair is slightly gelled, and the skin slightly tanned. He is wearing spectacles and comes dribbling in with a basketball.

He enters his room and from the entrace attempts to shoot at the basket. If his shoulder still hurts, he does not show it. 1 - 0 is it.

1-0 wonder his assistant, as if its a game that was on.

Yes, 1-0, I just shot a basket didnt I.

Oh that, I thought it was an assignment contract that you had won.

Woh bhi mil jayega!, Sir, so much confidence!!

Preet and Ashlesha in the meanwhile have come to the news agency. They ask for Gaurav Sharma and are asked if they have an appointed. Undetered and saying no, Preet barges in the office. Gaurav has his back towards the door

Who is this Gayrav Sharma, Cmon, I want to see him now. Chalo, he says, clicking his fingers, one, two three, I need to Gayrav Sharma - the one who dared insult my bauji.

Gayrav smiles and thinks, so Preet hasnt changed one bit, has he? Thinking its time for fun and games, Gaurav sits on the chair, with is back towards preet .

Kill Me, He says. baap aake bheek mangta hai, aur beta barpae karta hai, what a comical family indeed.

You... says preet, as he rolls up his sleeves to go marching towards gaurav. Ash stops him in the nick of time. Chodo Preet, In jaise ghatiye log ke muh nahin lag sakte. Main Galat Thi. Yeh Gayrav Sharma, Prem nahin ho sakta..

Prem, what a wonderful word, remarks Gaurav. Pata nahin Junejas ki har baat, Prem se hi kyun shuru hotee hai, aur prem se hi kyun khatam hotee hai!!

How dare you insult my prem bhaiya says preet. Bhgwan the, woh bhagwan, aur aaj bhi kahin na kahin, humare dil main basein hain. Tumhe kya lagta hai, tumhe kya lagta hai paison se tu, humare prem bhaiya ki yaad khareed sakte ho. Kabhi Nahin. Jab tak yeh laxman zinda nahin, kabhi nahin. Aaj ke is kalyug ke ramayan main, laxman hi kaafi hai ravan se ladne ke liye. Yeh laxman rokega, sita ko lanka jaane se. Bade Aaye tum humare prem bhaiya ki yaad baichne. Bauji ne socha, ma ko prem bhaiya ka yeh tape dikha denge to shayad ma ke chehre pe kushee aa jaygee. Par tumhare himmat kaisee huee Ma ke kangan giranee kee...Woh kangan, jo ma apne bahiu ko dena chahtee thi... Look I am talking to you.

Gaurav, takes out the cotton buds, and takes chewing gum. Bas. Khatam. Bol Diya Jo Bolna Tha. Ho Gaye Tumhare Bakwas Khatam.

Turns Around and Preet is shocked to see Gaurav face... What says Gaurav, shrugging his face. Am I some bhoot?? Bolo, Kya Bol Rahe The....

Preet Goes - Prrreeeeeeemmmm Bhaiya...

Ash is like Preeemmmmmm and mouth wide open

Gaurav - Madam, Apna Muh band kar leejite, nahin to Makh.... you know mosquitto ghuss jayegee andar aur yeh Prem Prem Lagaya hua hai, Main Prem nahin hoon. Ok. Fixes his jacket and says, bhagwan ke daya se mujhe bahut hi pyara naam mila hai, Gaurav Hai... You know G A U R A V - spells Gaurav... nahin samajh main aaya, Phir se boloon kya.

Preet looks at Gaurav - Tum Mere Prem Bhaiya nahin ho sakta hai. Throws 60 grand on gauravs face and storms out of the room.

Keep the change, says Preet on his way out. I have a wedding to stop.

cant wait for next part
