Day 17
Kabir was in the washroom washing his face when Nisha barged in. Both looked at each other in shock. Nisha was about to go but she slipped because of water and was about to fall. But Kabir's reflex kicked in and grabbed her wrist, without wasting time, pulled her towards him, wrapped his arm around her waist. He made sure she wasn't going to fall on the floor. In this whole thing the shower turned on.
Both were getting wet in water. But who cares. They were lost in each other's eyes. After an eyelock of about 5 minutes, Nisha realised their position and flinched. Kabir helped her stand straight. She moved out from there.
Kabir came out from the washroom in sometime. Nisha was in the kitchen.
Kabir- Nisha, I am sorry... woh...
Nisha- Kabir, please, main pehle hi clear karti hoon that I am your friend that's it. Aur kuch nahi...
Kabir- I know Nisha...
Nisha- Don't try to get close...
Kabir- (trying to defend himself) I wasn't...
Nisha-(rudely) Please... don't test my patience... hato yahaan se... I don't want to talk with you
She pushed him gently. Kabir was confused with her behavior. He couldn't understand what she meant. He tried to talk with her after she came out of the washroom but she shrugged him off rudely. Now Kabir's anger took its toll on him. He rarely got angry, but when he did, his ego was the most important thing for him.
Kabir- (to himself) Fine, baat nahi karni toh naa kare...
That day, everyone on the sets noticed that Nisha and Kabir weren't talking to each other. Their moods were also off because of some reason.
Nisha moved in the store room to find some file that was needed. She stood on the ladder and was searching for the file but fell down as the ladder balanced. She screamed in pain. Riya and Kabir who were passing by went in. They looked at Nisha in shock. Her right leg was swollen a bit and she was holding it wincing lying on the floor. He picked her in his arms and made her sit on one of the chairs.
Kabir-(massaging Nisha's leg) Riya get the first aid box.
Riya was busy burning at the care Kabir was showering on Nisha. She avoided and acted as if she didn't hear him.
Kabir- (impatiently shouting) RIYA, I SAID, GET THE BLOODY FIRST AID BOX.
Riya and Nisha were scared out of their wits. Riya ran and got him the box. He opened the box, applied balm on her foot and a bandage. Nisha tried to stand up but couldn't. Her leg pained like hell.
Kabir- (rudely)Haan, haan, ab taang tod hi do apni...
Nisha- If you can't help, then shut up...
Kabir- Tumhe hi meri help lene se problem ho rahi thi naa?
Nisha looked down. She was ashamed of her behaviour. She wanted him to stay away from her. She wasn't perfect for him. He deserved and needed someone who would fill his lonely world with most beautiful colors, so she was behaving rude with him from morning.
But this guy. His concern made it difficult to be angry with him. She looked at him. He was still massaging her foot.
Kabir- (without looking up) Chalne ki koshish kar...
Nisha- (lost in him) Huh?
Kabir looked up. She was staring at him like there was no tomorrow. His eyes wanted to get lost in hers, but he remembered the morning fight and stood up.
Kabir- (sternly) Chalne ki koshish kar.
Nisha came out of the trance and stood up, but her leg was paining so much, that she couldn't even stand properly.
Kabir- Tujhse kuch nahi hoga...
He walked away annoyed. Somehow, Nisha couldn't tolerate his indifference. She stood up. Her leg was shooting pain but ignoring it, she limped towards him saying sorry. Kabir stopped after taking 5 steps and turned.
Kabir- What?
Nisha- (making a baby face) sorry.
Kabir smiled and said, "Dekh, tu apne pero pe khadi hai." Nisha looked at her legs and smiled. What felt difficult wasn't difficult. Hold on, she isn't talking about walking, she's talking about manaofying Kabir.
Kabir- Main tujhse abhi naraaz hoon.
Nisha- sorry na...
Kabir- Doctor ke paas chalegi, toh shaayad I can think of forgiving you.
Nisha- Thikh hai, teri maafi ke liye main jannat tak jaaungi.
She limped and Kabir held her shoulders so that she didn't fall. They left the studio. All watched them in awe. Nisha was side hugging Kabir and his arms were wrapped around her waist as she limped and he made sure that she didn't fall.
Doctor said that it was just a sprain but she should take care and a day's rest would be best. He prescribed a pain killer. They went to Saxena House. Nisha said she'll walk but Kabir didn't hear a thing and picked her in his arms. Nisha's arms automatically wrapped around his neck. Mr. Saxena opened the door,
Mr. Saxena- (teasing) Kya baat hai, aaj beewi pe bahut pyaar aa raha hai...
Kabir- jab beewi per tudawaa de toh pati bichaara aur kya karega?
Mr. Saxena let them in. Kabir told Nisha to freshen up and rest. He went to buy the medicines. Later when he entered the house, he saw that Nisha was in the kitchen. Nisha saw him and smiled. Kabir went and picked her in his arms, laid her on the bed, tied her hands and legs with duppatas and smiled happily as Nisha frowned.
Nisha- Yaar, main ek jagah pe nahi beth sakti...
Kabir- Toh so jaa...
Nisha- Mujhe neend nahi aa rahi hai...
Kabir- I don't care, but I don't want you to even think of stepping out of the bed.
He went out the room, giving Nisha her laptop, headphones and snacks, in case she wasn't feeling sleeping. Nisha couldn't help but smile seeing the concern in his eyes.
She was listening to music when she heard a loud thud.
Nisha- (screaming) Kabir, kya hua?
Kabir- (from outside) Kuch nahi...
She couldn't stop herself from opening the knots of the duppatas with her fingers. Being a scout guide it wasn't so difficult for her. She then untied her legs and rushed in the kitchen. The whole kitchen as covered with a white powder and Kabir?
Well, his hair, face and clothes were covered with flour. Nisha burst out laughing looking at him.
Nisha- (shocked) Yeh sab kya hai?
Kabir- Tu bahar kya kar rahi hai?
Nisha- Woh awaaz suni, toh aa gayi, par yeh sab hai kya?
Kabir- Woh maine socha roti banaunga, isiliye upar ke compartment se aata nikal raha tha, par the container loved my face and fell on me, main kya karu?
Nisha started laughing like anything. She offered to cook the food and poured herself a glass of water. While she was drinking water
Kabir-(closing his eyes) main khana bana lunga.
Nisha spat the water in her mouth on Kabir in reflex and started coughing. Was she becoming deaf or Mad? KABIR KUMAR and cooking?
Nisha-(in shock) call the doctor.
Kabir-(recovering for the shock he endured because of Nisha's water shower and getting scared for her) Kya hua? Is your leg paining?
Nisha- I don't know. Did you fall somewhere? KABIR KUMAR and cooking?
Kabir- ummm... haa... tumhe bhook lagi hogi, medicines lene hai aur Bahar ka kuch order nahi kar sakte, so...
She started removing the ingredients she required to make Vegetable Soup.
Kabir- Nisha, I swear, main banaloonga.
Nisha- Kabir, I know hum yahan kuch dino ke liye hai, but still I love this kitchen and don't want you to spoil it with your amazing cooking skills. (stressing on amazing)
Kabir- thikh hai, you sit at the dining table and help me with vegetables and give me instructions.
Nisha- ok.
Kabir wore the apron and handed the cutting board and vegetables to her. But when he realized that she'll use the knife, He himself started cutting the vegetables. Nisha looked at him awe. She was staring at him with a feeling she couldn't explain, when she heard "Ahhh" from his mouth. He had cut his finger. Without thinking she put it in her mouth and started sucking the blood.
Nisha- (without thinking) Dekho kya ho gaya, Maharaja cooking karne chale the. Kabir, hum har cheez mein perfect nahi hota. Dekho, how much its bleeding.
Kabir looked at her in adoration as she removed the first aid kit from one of the compartments and bandaged his finger.
Kabir- (in trance) Tumhe meri itni fiqar hai?
Nisha looked at him and their eyes locked. Suddenly Nisha came out of the trance and looked away .
Nisha- Tum jaao, main kar lungi.
Kabir, being Kabir stayed adamant in 1 hour served her the food. She looked at it and then at Kabir. He signalled to start eating it with his eyes, but she fed him. Kabir smiled at her caring attitude and fed her. After feeding each other, Nisha went in the bedroom with a smile, while Kabir got a call from Vrinda so sat in the living room.
Here Nisha was listening to "Sun Saathiya" but her mind was somewhere else. She closed her eyes and was surprised when Kabir's smiling face came infront of her. Her eyes snapped open.
Nisha-(to herself, in confusion) Yeh kya ho raha hai mujhe, baar-baar main sirf Kabir ke baare mein kyun soch rahi hoon... uski har baat kyun affect kar rahi hai? Jab woh smile karta hai I feel super happy and when he is upset, I can't bear to see him sad... I can't see him with another girl and want his attention... What's happening?
Her trance was broken when her cell started vibrating. Reading the name she smiled. It is said that "Moms are the best ladies in our lives and help us in all confusing times." Same happened with Nisha. Her light in darkness was usually her dad, but today she decided to speak out her confusion to her Laxmi.
Nisha received the call and was not so surprised to be bombarded with questions.
Laxmi-(worried) Nishu, tu thikh hai? Kya ho gaya? Kaise gir gayi tu? Dhyaan kahan rehta hai tera? Jyaada dard ho raha hai?
Nisha-(interrupting her) Laxmi, Relax me...
Laxmi sighed.
Nisha- main bilkul thikh hoon... Don't you worry, par its just that... Mom, you and dad, I mean, aapko kab realize hua ki you love him...
Laxmi- Kaun hai woh...
Nisha-(faking ignorance) Kaun woh?
Laxmi- Nishu, I know you have fallen for someone, just tell na baccha ,whose it?
Nisha-(giving up) Mom, I like him, but main sure nahi hoon, whether its love...
Laxmi- Do you feel happy when he is happy?
Nisha- haan... I feel as if I have won the world...
Laxmi- Do you feel sad when he is sad?
Nisha- Hmmm...
Laxmi- You care for him?
Nisha- Yup...
Laxmi- You are insecure about him?
Nisha- Todha-bahut...
Laxmi- (sternly) Nishu, no lies...
Nisha-(sighing) Fine, I can't see Kabir with Vrinda or that stupid Riya...
Laxmi-(teasing) Oh, so its Kabir huh?
Nisha-(blushing) Maa?
Laxmi- Ok, no teasing... so, You like to be his center of attention?
Nisha- haan... Par kabhi-kabhi woh jyaada hi aatetion deta hai, then it annoys me...
Laxmi- You love the time you spent with him?
Nisha- Haan... its amazing to be with him...
Laxmi- There you go, I made it easy for you... Finally, Miss. Nisha Gangwal ko pyaar ho gaya hai...
Nisha- aapko kaise pata chala?
Laxmi- Your voice told me... Nisha, you were blushing like anything. Love is beautiful, pata hai kyun?
Nisha- Kyun?
Laxmi- It brings out the innocent side of you... and tumne innocently mere saare sawaalon ka jawaab diya, I found my innocent Nishu...
Nisha- Bas, sirf itne mein hi aapko pata chala?
Laxmi- Nishu, you can't explain love... just feel it...
Nisha closed her eyes and was recalling those laughters they shared...those Tom and Jerry fights... those cute lovely and adorable moments...those mere things he always used to do to make her smile... Their eye-locks... These memories were so beautiful that she was lost in them... So lost in them that she didn't realize that Laxmi had cut the call.
Nisha- (opening her eyes, with a relaxed smile) I love you Kabir, I love you very much...
She happily went in the living room. She heard noises from the kitchen and saw that Kabir had cleaned it. She smiled. He looked up.
Kabir- Kya hua, Harsh ki yaad aa gayi kya?
Nisha came out of her trance and looked at him angrily. Here she was staring at him and he reminded her of that monkey. She wiped his cheeks which were covered with flour. Kabir looked at her with love. They spent some time watching TV and then went to sleep

Ek ajeeb sa ehsaas tha... Jisse samjhana mushkil tha..
Woh ehsaas khoobsurat tha... mujhe tanhaiyon se door le jaata tha...
Tere sang samjh paayi ki yeh iss ehsaas ko kya kehte hai... Iss ehsaas ko pyaar kehte hai...
Meaning: It was a weird feeling, I couldn't understand it, but the feeling was beautiful and it was the reason why I wasn't lonely. With you by my side, I have realized that this feeling is called "LOVE"
~~~~~~
Nishu ne toh apne pyaar ke ehsaas ko samajh liya, ab aap bhi jaldise like/comment kar dena, so that I fall in love with your amazing comments.
