Chapter 1
Nisha opens her eyes as the sun rays passing through the window, destroys her peaceful sleep. Without much thought her hand seems to be reaching her pillow and getting her mobile from underneath, she takes it only hoping that she would get some news about Kabir, but sadly she only sees Viraj's miss calls, her thoughts confuse her even more, wasn't she supposed to love Viraj, wasn't Kabir supposed to be just a friend, than why why was she feeling so restles. Her thought process stopped as she heard a mobile ringing, she smiled thinking it was Kabir but to her dismay it turned out to be Viraj's call.
Viraj: Hello Nisha
Nisha: Yes Viraj why you call, something important.
Viraj: Nothing much, just called to say that Kabir phoned last night, he is coming today evening at your place, he told me to come as well, he was talking about some surprise. You had been worried about him so thought of informing you.
Nisha: (extremely happy): Really!! Thank you so much Viraj
Viraj: Bye Nisha
Nisha: Bye
Nisha looks at Kabir's and her photo which was taken during holi, her cousins had put it as her wallpaper and for some reason, she never had the heart to remove it.
Nisha talking to the photo: Why are you looking at me like that, remove the smile from your face, I am very angry with you, you can call Viraj but not me, am I nothing to you Kabir.
Pause
Nisha to herself: What's gotten into me I have never behaved like that. People say love is the craziest thing that happens, but am already in love with Viraj right, than why does Kabir make me evermore crazy.
Someone knocks the door
Dolly: Nishu may we come in.
Nisha: Of course Dolly Di.
Dolly, Aman and Kirti enter.
Kirti: Lost in Viraj's thoughts
Nisha: Nahi Kirti, I was thinking about Kabir.
Aman: Kabir? What about Kabir.
Nisha (lost): His smile, his eyes, his jokes, everything.
Kirti, Dolly and Aman stare at Nisha amused.
Dolly: You know that your going to get married to Viraj right but from your talks it looks like it going to be Kabir, who you would be talking pheres with.
Nisha: It is nothing like that Dolly Di, Kabir is just a very good friend.
Kirti: Are telling this to us or are trying yo explain in to yourself
Dolly: Nishu, whatever your choice is make sure you don't regret it later on.
Dolly, Kirti and Aman leave the room,and Nisha started thinking on what they said.
Nisha to herself: Do I love Kabir, no no this can't happen right. I mean if I fell in love with him I would have known.
Inner voice: If you would have know and fallen, it wouldn't have been love..
Nisha: He is just a friend.
Inner voice: A friend who you can't live without, a friend who your is incomplete without, friend whose phone call you didn't receive for a few days, you panicked so bad that you didn't bother about the guy who you state yo love.
Nisha: Stop giving lectures like Kabir.
Inner voice: I am only you, yet in me you see only his reflection, or rather in these days you have been trying to find him in everyone.
Nisha: Their should be a reason to love right, something about him I have walked in love.
Inner voice: You have fallen in love, remember your past few months tell me what's your answer.
Nisha began thinking what was that which made her go crazy for Kabir, that she hadn't even realized it. Her thoughts raced back to the day, four months after their marriage truth was out.
Flashback
It had been four months, yet nothing had changed between them or to be honest, they didn't want to see the changes, but today something was different, our Kabir didn't have his contagious smile, instead that seemed to be replaced by a plastic one. Nisha was as well in her own world, it had been one year, a complete year, since the day she had seen Viraj Singh Rathod on television. She just wished that day would have never come in her life. She wasn't sad, she was just frustrated.
The day went on quieter than usual and finally dinner time came.
Laxmi: What happened Kabir beta
Kabir: Nothing aunty.
Laxmi looked at Kabir, she very well knew something was wrong, a few week after Nibir's marriage truth was out, Kabir used to either call her Laxmimaa or sasuma when he needed to tease Nisha, she never heard aunty from his mouth for almost four months and by looking at him she could say that he himself didn't know what he said.
Kabir: (trying to enlighten the mood and realizing his earlier error) maa your talking about me, I haven't heard your daughters was since morning.
Nisha stayed quiet at Kabir's remark.
Kabir despite of being upset really wanted cheer Nisha up.
Kabir: vimla taaiji tell me a thing, did you put glue in today's breakfast, someone's mouth seems unusually closed since morning.
Everyone smiled, No one understood Kabir's pretense, not even Nisha she was just frustrated and Kabir only seemed to be adding to her frustration.
Nisha (angrily): Kabir would you just stop, I know your life maybe perfect and problem free but not everybody's is okay.
That ticked Kabir if here he was trying to cheer her up despite of being upset and return she couldn't even give a smile, intact she thought his life was problem free.
Kabir (holding Nisha tightly by her arm): problem free, who gave you the right to judge that and you know what it isn't me it is you you behave like there are only problems in your life, well if you really looked around you would have realized, that everyone has problems, is just that they don't like announcing it to the world like you. (Angrier) perfect life haan you think my life is perfect, you think it so perfect to be walked illegitimate from an age where you have no clue what that word even means, you think it's so perfect to have no one beside you when father's day is celebrated at school, you think it's so to change house each time because either someone remarks on your mother's character or sees her in a wrong way. Yes it was perfect when I used to see my mom cry yet didn't know the reason for that.
Everyone looked at Kabir, Kabir calmed down slightly, he could see everyone staring at him.
Kabir (inner thoughts): No no, what did I do, this was something I wasn't even supposed to repeat to myself, I was thinking about the past father's day. I know I was upset but I should have kept it in.
Kabir himself didn't realize when he started shaking, everyone looked at him, even after knowing him for months no one had seen this vulnerable sight of him. Kabir got up and went to his and Nisha's room, even Nisha followed.
Nibir room
Nisha: I am sorry
Kabir doesn't respond and hugs her tightly,
Kabir: I know you never meant want you said, your an angel in my life, sorry I really didn't mean to burst on you like that.
Flashback ends
That was the first time she felt a strong pull towards Kabir.
Hope you guys liked it, sorry if it was boring
