Chapter- 23
Rutha Hai Toh Mana Lenge!😉
Oh yes! She got another idea. She ran back to her room's balcony. There he was, Kabir, in the balcony of his room.
Ni- Abe oye! (Kabir looked at her confused) Gate kholne ka kya lega?
Kabir couldn't understand a single thing but did as she asked. She went inside his room and sat on the bed.
Ka- Nisha?
Ni- Arre Kabir! Wahan kyun khada hai? Apna hi room samajh (laughing)
Kabir went and sat beside her maintaining a good distance.
Ni- Kabir, itna door kyun baitha hai? Paas aa na!
Kabir shifted a bit.
Ni- (Shahrukh style) Aur paas!
Kabir shifted a bit more not understanding what she wanted but he was ready for a slap as well as a punch.
Ni- Aur paas!
Kabir couldn't really understand anything and this time he wanted to know what she was upto.
Ka- Nisha?
Ni- Aur paas!
Kabir shifted a bit more. They were quite close. Nisha went near him and closing the space between them, she...
She slapped him hard on his cheek.
Kabir was shocked. This was not what he expected after that Shahrukh Khan style dialogues.
Ni- (standing up, annoyed) Yeh tujhe karna chahie tha!
Kabir also stood up with a confused face.
Ni- Yeh tujhe karna chahie tha when... (looked down) when I didn't listen to you even though I was wrong the whole time. Even though I was the one at fault. Even though I was the one to leave you.
Ka- Nisha ...
Ni- (interrupting) Shhh... Its my turn today Kabir. Vaise toh hamesha meri hi rehti hai but still today I want to say something. Kabir I am really selfish.
Ka- No Nisha, you aren't.
Ni- Main hoon Kabir. I always think about myself. I left you because I just thought of myself. When you revealed to me the truth I again thought of the pain you caused but not about the pain I caused to you.
Ka- (cupped her face) No Nisha, it is not like that.
Nisha shrugged his hands off.
Ni- Kabir, jaane se pehle ek baar bhi maine tujhse discuss nahi kari meri problem. Jaane ke baad bhi I never told you what happened. I gave you the punishment of something you never did.
Ka- Nisha...
Ni- (interrupted) I hurt you so much every time but you were always there by my side since the dance we became friends. (tears were flowing down her eyes but she did not wipe them) You thought that you were the reason for me leaving but actually you never were and you never knew about it.
Ka- Nisha...
Ni- (interrupted) Tune mujhse dosti bhale hi ek reason ke liye kari hogi but your freindhsip was real, you were truthful and loyal towards it no matter what and I never understood it. I have been the stupid in our relationship and I thought I was mature.
Ka- Nisha sun toh...
Ni- (interrupted) Kabir, even jab tujhe pata chala I was angry with you. (angry at herself) And what was the reason? I thought that you betrayed me. Viraj betrayed me. But actually it was me always the betrayer myself. Kabir maine apni zindagi khud hi kharaab ki hai aur saath mein teri bhi.
Ka- Shut up Nisha!
Ni- (interrupted) Jab tujhe sach pata chala you needed support but (tears flowing down) I was never there. Rather I was angry with you when you should have been. And I am the one who says that I love you. I am really sorry Kabir. Meri itni saari galtiyon ke liye main maafi nahi maang sakti hoon. I am really sorry. Aur agar tu mujhe abhi bhi maaf nahi karna chahta then I won't really mind because I was wrong and this wrong that I can't even say that I am sorry. But fir bhi I dared to. Kabir I am really very selfish and I really don't deserve you. I am really very bad. I am...
Just then Nisha felt a burning sensation on her cheek. It was Kabir who slapped her because of her irrational talks. Nisha got up. Kabir also got up and hugged her tight. Nisha cried in his arms.
Ka- (tears flowing down) Pagal hai kya tu?
They broke the hug and wiped each other's tears and giggled.
Ka- (took her hand in his) Nisha you are perfect for me. We are perfect for each other. Tune jo bhi kiya tha that was right except for one thing that you didn't tell me. (Nisha looked down) I would have supported you. (she looked up with tears in her eyes) Nisha self-respect is the most important thing in anyone's life. And I am happy that you were brave enough to stand up against the wrong. You know Nisha, tu bahut achi hai that you decided to give up your relation in order to prevent a mother-son relationship but Nisha, kuch relations ka matlab nahi hota hai. And Nisha about mom, I won't sort this out with her any sooner.
Nisha didn't speak anything because she knew that it was his decision. She cannot force him for anything.
Ka- Nisha mom ne jo kiye was the worst thing I could ever imagine from her side. Unhone mera ek saal barbaad karna zyada prefer kara. I will never forgive her for this. Ek baar bata deti what her problem was, I would have surely consoled her. I loved you and she knew it always but she never took it in consideration before taking such a drastic step. I loved her but she...
Nisha put a hand on his shoulder.
Ni- Kabir, she loved you and that is why she did all this. I am not taking her side but I am just telling, please think about it twice before you come up to some decision. Maine aisi galti bahut baar ki hai. I don't want you to do any such mistakes.
Kabir wiped her tears and cupped her face.
Ka- And I wouldn't be angry at you for whatever you do, unless you kill someone. Conditions Applied! (they chuckled)
He wiped his tears.
They looked at each other at the time as they realized something.
Ni & Ka- Mujhe students ke saath jaana hai.
They looked at each other- Tu bhi!
They started laughing again.
Ka-(side hugged) Chal saath mein chalte hain.
Ni Chal Viru, Kaira, Gaurav aur Shanaya ko bhi le lete hain. Kj is already asleep. Ghar par chodte hue chalenge.
They went downstairs to call the students and their friends. They told Vira and Gauraya about them and their plan. They agreed. They went to the students and gave them the news. They all left for the club.
They all went there and danced a lot. Nibir didn't allow anyone to drink, especially the students. Everyone requested them but Nibir were in teacher mode. Finally they all left for home at about 12. Everyone was tired and retired to their rooms.
NEXT DAY
Nibir went to Laura and Andrew for signing the deal.
IN CABIN
Laura- I would like to congratulate you two again.
Andrew- We have been thinking about it and came to a decision that we should sign this deal in front of everyone.
Laura- So today evening there will be a press conference for signing the contract.
Ni- I would like to say something if you don't mind?
Andrew- Sure, Ms. Nisha.
Ni-Actually I have been planning to set up an academy in Canada as well which will be looked after me only. This academy will be looked after by someone else after that. So I wanted to know if the investment that you are planning to provide our academy can be provided to the new academy.
Laura- Do you have any documents regarding that academy up till now?
Ni- I am sorry but it has just been an idea till now and I am pretty much sure to implement it.
Andrew- In that case, Ms. Nisha, I think it will be difficult for us to sign the contract today.
Ni- I will have no problem. We can do it later in some other meeting. I don't really need a press conference.
Laura- Okay then, we can provide you one month for getting the documents ready. After that we will have a meeting and if everything goes well we can sign the contract then and there.
Nisha smiled and thanked them.
Laura- Mr. Kabir, do you have any problem with the press conference today in the evening.
Ka- Actually I have been coming over with some plans of setting up a new academy too. I came to talk to you last night but came to know that you were not in the hotel.
Andrew- Okay, no problem then. We can have a meeting one month later.
Ka- thank you Mr. Andrew.
They came out and bid goodbye to Laura and Andrew. Kabir knew that Nisha would be very angry with him if he told her something which he wanted to. But he dared.
Ka- Nisha?
Ni- haan bol!
Ka- Actually... Woh main...
Ni- Bol na!
Ka- (in one breath) Main aaj waapas jaa raha hoon.
Nisha was shocked.
Ni- Tune ticket kab karvayi?
Ka- 10 days back. (looked down)
Ni- Aur tu mujhe ab bata raha hai!
And now she was angry. Well she should be because he didn't even tell her about his flight. Nisha started walking back to her room. Kabir kept calling her from the back but she ignored him.
Ka- Arre Nisha, ek baar sun toh le!
Ni- (turned) This is so not done Kabir. Why should I listen to you? You didn't even tell me that you were leaving today.
Ka- I was going to tell you.
Ni- When? After you leave?
Ka- Nisha, kal tera mood acha tha and I did not want to spoil it.
Ni- Oh really! Toh aaj acha nahi tha?
Ka- That is why I didn't want to tell you.
Nisha slapped him hard on his cheek. Kabir was shocked. He rubbed his cheeks.
Ni-Agli baar mere baare mein itna socha na toh I will kill you.
Ka- Tujhe kya itni padi hai agar main jaoon?
Ni- Kuch nahi!
She left angrily. She reached her room and was about to close the door when Kabir came in between.
Ni- What now?
Ka- Mujhe tujhse baat karni hai.
Nisha opened the door and allowed him to come in.
Ni- Bhaunk!
Ka- Thodi toh izzat de!
Ni- Uss layak hai tu! Mujhe apna sabse accha dost kehta hai aur fir mujhe yeh bhi nahi batata hai ki tune aaj shaam ki ticket kara rakhi hai woh bhi 10 din pehle?
Ka- Arre meri maa maaf karde mujhe! Last time! (he held his ears and made a cute puppy face) Please!
Ni- it won't work on me Kabir.(ignorant)
Ka- Acha theek hai tu bata, kya karoon?
Ni- Kuch bhi karega? (looked at him with a smirk)
Ka- Kuch aada teda mat bolna please (scared look)
Nisha smirked again.
After some 10 minutes,
Ka- (Panting) Bas kar Nisha, maine 50 laga chuke hain.
Ni- (sitting on the bed and eating an apple) deal 100 ki hui thi. Continue warna aur bada dungi.
This is how Kabir was punished for his heinous crime. As soon as Kabir finished his punishment he and Nisha went to meet Vira , Gauraya and Kj but not as a surprise because they knew they will have to call Gaurav and Viraj form workplace.
As soon as they reached and knocked on the door they were welcomed by a super excited Kj. Kj hugged her and Nisha hugged him back. Everyone was giving the AWWW' expression. Kj went and hugged Kabir. He again returned to Nisha. She picked him as they settled and made him sit in her lap. He was telling her various things and Nisha was listening to all of them carefully and giving him ideas to solve any problem.
Kaira- Ab Nisha ko kisi ki zaroorat nahi hai.
They all laughed while Kj and Nisha didn't pay much heed.
Vi- Have you completed your homework Kj?
Kj- No dad! (looked down)
Ni- Arre Viraj, chod na. He will complete it later. Let him spend some time nicely with his Mb and Mamu. Vaise bhi Kabir is leaving today.
Ga- What?
Vi- This is really wrong Kabir. You should have told us to the least if you were afraid of Nisha.
Ni- Wahi toh!
Then she realized what he said. They all started laughing.
Ni- Kya bola tu!
She threw a pillow at him.
Ga- Yaar Nisha galat thode hi bol rahi hai. He should have told her. She is so hurt.
Nisha knew that he was playing with her. She threw a pillow at Gaurav as well. While all the others were laughing Nisha was frowning.
Vi- So what's your plan now?
Ni & Ka- Shaam ki preparations.
Everyone except the duo face palmed. Nisha and Kabir couldn't understand (poor kidos). Viraj was actually asking about their relationship status. Everyone was sharing about the various funny incidents since their childhood. Kabir realized how Nisha was all this time. She was upset but never let anyone know just like he did. He smiled. They were laughing as they started discussing the childhood moments which were quite awkward ones by the way.
