Heyyy Guyys! My name is Tannu. I have watched NAUC from the first day. I am usually just a silent reader (and I had actually forgotten I had an IF Account 😆) Today I just felt inspired to write something. I've just put what could happen next in NAUC. This is my first ever post on IndiaForums. So please give me your comments, appreciation and criticism. I would like to take this opportunity to dedicate this to all my friends. It really means a lot to me. Also, I would like to say a HUGE Thank You to Aneri Vajani and Mishkat Varma who have played the characters so beautifully that I HAD this urge to write something for them.
Enjoy reading! And dont forget to give me your feedback! 😊
Part 1
Not like he was perfect. He had this habit of getting too touchy that made her uncomfortable, even when she knew he meant no harm. His stupid, childish antics and jokes drove her mad sometimes. Take for instance advising Bunty wrongly. But then even that had been because he had promised her he would try to be bad. And she felt like it was kinda because of her that he got that electric shock. If she had been on the terrace with him, she would have made sure neither Bunty nor him did any daredevil stunts and get injured. There were some unexplainable feelings they shared. There was something that always pulled her back towards him like a magnet. The 'almost' kiss encounter had scared her and left her feeling numb. What was she even thinking? Why did she not stop him before coming so close enough that she could hear his heartbeats? The innocence in the moment when she came back to her senses was something she found baffling. His scared face told her that he seemed to be just as shocked as her as to how they got into this situation. She had never been like this. She was always the kind that made explicit gestures of throwing up every single time she was watching a show or movie with her cousins and such scenes came on.
Subconsciously she knew that she had somewhat accepted Kabir as a friend in the trip itself. Even though he was a stranger to her and irritating at times, he wanted to save Chandu just as much as she did. There was a weak moment when he speculated whether he should be doing that; he came back to his senses pretty quick. By being selfless, he had earned her respect. He had challenged her to make her smile. And he had always tried to lighten up the mood; even when they first met and he knew nothing about her. He made mistakes in the spur of the moment, but accepted them. Even today he saved Bunty. She was sure he would have rescued even a stray kid on the streets if he saw them in danger like this. She remembered how scared she was when Bhabhiji had almost shot him and all he kept repeating is "I won't reveal where Nisha is."
He was such an idiot that he would not think twice even if he had gotten seriously injured. And talking about injured, he did not ever try to show that he was hurt. He tried to be his jolly good old self even when he was not able to speak with his usual, cheerful tone. He was like Nisha in that sense, trying to hide his pain so that others do not get affected. His disposition was like such a kid that he made her feel like he was Peter Pan and she was Tinker Bell and they could escape to Neverland whenever they felt like taking a break from reality. He never questioned her on her past, he was just not interested to know more than what she was ready to reveal to him. He gave her a chance to accept and learn to slowly love herself the way she was, flaws and all."
After seeing his Wifey not turn up for quite sometime, Kabir went upstairs to her room where he saw her lost in thoughts and a queer smile playing on her lips. He could just never seem to understand her. He loved her daring nature, he liked her like she was but he wanted to keep her away from him because he would never want her smile fade off her face again. Just sometime ago she was literally acting like all the happiness in the world had been sucked out of her face, and here she was enjoying some kind of personal bliss. He felt like he was intruding her privacy, but his celebration (and life) was incomplete without her around. He went to the window and shook her.
Kabir: Oye! Tu idhar aise kyun baithi hui hai? Chal na neeche. Tujhe pata hai tere cousins mere liye cake lekar aaye hai "Thank You Hero" wala!
Nisha: Tu jaa. Mujhe thode der idhar hi rehna hai.
Kabir: Tu kitni K hai re! *When she does not react, he gets a little worried* Teri tabiyat to theek hai na? Kya ho gaya tujhe?
Nisha: Kuch nai. Tu mujhe akele chodne ka kya lega?
Kabir: Aaj tu kuch bhi karle tujhe chodke nahi jaanewala. Maine kaha tha na 3 mahine hi sahi, tera pati hu. Aur tujhe koi bhi tang kare ya tu udaas ho jaye ye main nahi dekh sakta.
Nisha: Tujhe na backwaas karne me degree milni chahiye.
Kabir: Kuch to respect kar yaar..Hubby hu tumhara! Accha ek baat bata tu itni senti kyu ho gayi jab mujhe shock lag gaya tha? Mera haath bhi itna kas ke pakad rakha tha aur chod bhi nahi rahi thi..
Nisha: Tu dost hai na mera! Aur 3 months tak Hubby bhi to hai..darr nahi lagega agar tujhe kuch ulta seedha ho jayega to?
Kabir: Pata nahi. Maine tujhe terrace pe bhi dekha. Maine pure hosh nahi khoye the. Tere reactions se to kuch aur hi lag raha tha..
Nisha: Ek to tu jaankar jhamele me phasta hai ya problems tera picha karte hai mujhe nahi pata..par main to normal insaan hu na. Kisi ko dard me dekhke mujhe bhi bura lagta hai..
Kabir: Aisa nahi lag raha tha ki tujhe bura laga..aur tu hi kehti hai ki main 4 feet ke distance pe rahu..to aaj mujhpe itna pyaar kaise umad aaya ki godi me le liya aur zor zor se maar maar ke chila rahi thi..mein behra nahi ho gaya tha..na mujhe kisine anesthesia ka injection lagaya tha ki tu maaregi aur mujhe lagegi nahi! Electric shock se zyaada maar maar ke to tu mujhe shock deti rehti hai..
Nisha: *absentmindedly* Haan theek hai!
Kabir: Dekh Nisha! Mujhe dikh raha hai tu kisi cheez se pareshaan hai. Tu bolegi ki kya hua hai?
Nisha: * Irritated * Bola na kuch nai hua hai! Main aisi hi hoon! Bachpan se aaj tak mujhe akele hi rehna accha lagta hai jab mujhe kuch sochna hota hai. Mere cousins ko bhi pata hai ki main zyaada party varty type ki ladki nahi hoon. In fact, mujhe aise cheezo me bahut awkward lagta hai.
Kabir: Par tu ab kya soch rahi hai? Agar tujhe ye tension ho raha hai ki teri family mujhe itna chahne lagi hai ki tujhe bhul gayi hai to aisa nahi hai, meri Lady Dabangg! *mischevious grin*
Nisha: Hahaha! Hasi nahi aayi mujhe! Aur mujhe pata hai ki meri family tujhse kitna bhi pyaar karle tu rukne wala to hai nahi!
Kabir: Ab mujhe guilty mat feel karwa aur bolde tere dil me kya hai. Main guarantee to nahi de sakta lekin agar mere bas me hoga, to main koshish zaroor karunga teri problem ko solve karne ka!
Nisha: [What do I say? That I don't want you to leave? Well...I don't have any right to stop you from pursuing your dreams. We have promised each other not to fall in love. And I shall abide by the word I gave while writing the contract]
Kabir: *Snaps her out of the reverie* Tu jhut kehti hai..tu meri dost hai hi nahi..aur..aur..tu mujhe jab tak khud aake nahi bata deti ki tere mann me kya chal raha hai main tujhse katti rahunga! Tu mujhe abhi hi bata de na...
Nisha: *cuts him* Mujhe aaj raat yehi rukna hai!
Kabir: To main bhi yehi rukunga! Par yaad rakh main tujhse katti hu! Aur main batti aasani se nahi karta! [And I will see how you keep refusing to tell me what is bothering you. I don't know why but I hate seeing you upset like this. Get angry on me, push me away, but you know what? I am not leaving you alone and going away anywhere. I have promised myself to not let you fall for me, but I have also taken vows to keep you happy for 3 months. And Kabira doesn't break his promises]
Nisha: [ You are getting dangerously close to my heart. I cannot let that happen. I know you are just trying to be to be of help to me. But everything is uglier up close.]
