Chapter 2
Nisha realized she was in love with Kabir, she was so happy, she felt so free, her whole world started making sense to her, but then her eyes got laid on the family photograph near her bed. After so much pain, the family had agreed for her marriage to Viraj, now what was she supposed to say."I am actually in love with Kabir, so can he be the groom?"
Nisha (talking to Kabir's picture): You are so stupid,I hate you, You always understand me right, you have always known me more than myself. Than how did you not realize that I hate fallen so deeply in love with you. (Pause) or did you realize that? Is that the reason you went from here, because you didn't want me in your life. Am I that bad Kabir, I know I have hurt you alot, but I have apologized right. Why are you going away from me Kabir? Why are you not talking to me? (Poking the picture) You...you...you can talk to Viraj but not me, you called me your best friend, this is the way you fulfil your friendship.
Nisha breaks down, hugs the photo and starts crying.
Nisha: I love you Kabir, I had always loved you, I admit it, I love everything about you, your smiling face that lights up my world, your words that have always encouraged me, your caring selfless nature that attracts me towards you.(pause) Not just me, from dadaji to bunty, from our neighbours to the street dog, everyone loves you, you came for six months here but you have made everyone crazy. (Pause) I am not gonna cry (wipes her tears) you just come in the evening am not going to talk to you?
It was around six in the evening, Viraj had just entered Gangwal house.
Dadaji: Come in Viraj beta we were expecting you.
Viraj: Namaste dadaji, namaste everyone.
Vimla: Beta, you didn't say what brings you here.
Viraj: Well aunty, I my self have no idea about that.
Laxmi: What.
Viraj: Yes aunty, Kabir called in the morning, he asked me to come here, he said there was some kinda surprise.
Dadaji (excited) Kabir beta called, how is he?
Viraj: Yes Dadaji, he did, I had informed Nisha, didn't she tell you all.
Dolly: Nishu, you didn't say anything only.
Vimla: Yes Nishu, at least I would have made Kabir's favourite Kheer.
Bunty: Haan Nishu di, I would have brought all Kabir Bhaiya favourite video games down.
Mohan: Know the wedding will be more happening once he arrives.
Dadaji: I can't wait to see my son, I hadn't heard his voice for three days.
Nisha: Stop, you all sound like the son of this house went to war and is coming back after 10 years.
Laxmi: He is the son of this house, (pulling her ears) Don't get jealous of him.
Nisha: I am not jealous on him.
Kabir: Maa she is always j
Nisha: and your a big k
Laxmi: Kabir beta.
Kabir: Hi, everyone.
Aman: Kabir where had you disappeared.
Kabir: I went to take a very special surprise for my brother.
Viraj: Kabir, you are saying the same thing since morning at lest tell us what is the surprise.
Kabir: bhai, this is not something to be said, why don't you see it for your self.
Kabir gestures towards the door. A woman wearing a green and gold saree starts walking in. Viraj is shocked seeing the woman, he walks towards her and touches her face. Tears start streaming down for both.
Viraj: maa
Everyone is shocked by the revelation.
Vasundra: Viraj, how are you beta?
Viraj: Where had you been? You know how much I searched for you? (Turning towards Kabir) where did you find her?
Kabir (smiling): Bhaiya what is already there with me, why do I have to find that?
Viraj (confused): meaning
Kabir: (giggling)See I told you he won't understand anything.
Vasundra: (stern) Kabir.
Viraj: maa tell me what is the matter.
Vasundra: you always used to ask me for a nibbling when you were young right? So here you go (pointing to Kabir) he is your brother.
Viraj: maa, I already know that, intact Kabir is more than a brother to me.
Kabir slapped his head, wasn't his elder brother supposed to understand. Everyone was confused as well.
Kabir (holding his hand out infront of Viraj): Hi, am Kabir Singh Rathod, my parents are Vasundra and Arjun Singh Rathod and Well my brother is Viraj Singh Rathod.
Viraj (shocked): maa
Vasundra: whatever Kabir said is true beta, he is your real younger brother.
Viraj looks at Kabir's hand that is extend towards him and the big smile on his face, he goes and hugs him.
Viraj: I had always felt a strong pull towards you, but today I know what it is.
Kabir: Finally you understood Bhaiya.
Viraj: why didn't you tell me earlier.
Kabir: I found out two days ago and mom confirmed it to me just last night. And see today am here.
Nisha (in mind): stupid, idiot, over here am madly in love with you and your interested in making me your bhabhi.
Kabir introduces Vasundra to everyone in the Gangwal family, but he purposely teills Viraj to introduce Nisha, otherwise the way he speaks about Nisha will make his mom realize that Kabir loves her.
Dadaji: Bhenji the wedding rituals will start from tomorrow evening so why don't you all stay here tonight.
Vasundra: whatever pleases you bauji.
Next morning
Nisha is in her room trying on her sangeet lehenga, but she is having some problems with pinning the dupatta, she calls out to Laxmi but she doesn't get any response, so she goes out of the room catching her dupatta in the hand. She doesn't look where she is going and dashes into Kabir whose supposedly just come from a shower because his hair is dripping wet. Kabir catches Nisha, while flowers fall on them, they are confused an look on top, they see Dolly and Kirti trying to balance a basket of flowers. Kabir's leg slips and he falls to the ground pulling Nisha on top of him. Nibir stare into each other eyes. Kabir is catching Nisha from her waist and holding her a little high, so she is not pressed onto him. The fact that their lips are just few millimeters apart are making both of them very crazy.
I know it was more rajbir than Nibir, sorry if you all didn't like it.
