It was almost 10pm , when i finally woke up and gathered myself . I don't know when i drifted into the sleep . The room was pitch dark . I stood up gathered some strength and started cleaning the room , i was the one responsible for this mess so it should be me who needs to clean this up ,same goes with my life too. Finishing the job i freshen up and as soon as i came out of the washroom there was a knock at my room's door and someone switched on the lights ,it was then i realised the room was still dark . Vasu aunty entered the room smiling at me . "Are nishu uth gayi aaja mai dinner layi hu chal saath me khate h " she said making her self comfortable on the bed . "Aunty iski kya jarurat thi mai kuch arrange karleti aur maa papa sukku bhi ane wale honge " i said . "Lakshmi ka phone aya tha ki barish ki wajah se car kharab hogyi h so ab vo subha hi ayenge , tumhara phone not reachable tha to usne mujhe call kar k bata dia " she said making me sit beside her ... " Pehle maine soacha kabir ko bheju tumhe bulane k liye par janaab aajkal hath kaha ate h , phir mai khud hi agayi " she continued preparing the plate for us ... After finishing the dinner she offered me a head massage and i couldn't deny.
"Tujhe pata h na nisha agar koi ayesi baat h jo tu lakshmi ya ramesh se nahi keh sakti to mujhse kabhi bhi share karsakti h ,kuch baat h kya jo tujhe pareshan kar rahi h ? " she asked, mothers they have the superpower to read your mind . " Nahi aunty ayesi koi baat nahi h ... " I answered . " Chalo achcha h agar ayesa kuch nahi h to ... Thoda is jojo ko bhi samjha naa , sara din ghar se bahar rehta h , itna mushkil se kal humne arjun ko manaya h ab dekho do mahine baad exams h par iss ladke ko koi fark hi nahi padhta ... " She complained and was still complaining... " Mere liye time hi kaha h uske pass " i murmured looking down , " han kuch kaha nisha?" I nodded in a no " hum to soachte h khud hi arjun ko batade phir ek din achche se class lagegi uski to hi akal thikane ayegi, han ye sahi rahega hum abhi arjun ko jake batadete h " she said and got up from the bed to leave , " nahi aunty " i held her hand and she sat back ...No matter how much he annoy me i could not let this happen knowing uncle's high temper i tried to stop her , " kyu nisha dekh tujhe bhi to kitna pareshan karta h " she said " tune itne efforts se uske admission k liye arjun ko manaya aur usne iska credit bhi nahi dia tujhe ... isiliye upset h naa" She continued looking into my eyes directly making me shocked , "nahi , vo, ayesa nahi h " i stammered , "mujhse kuch bhi chipa nahi h nisha ,itna pyaar karti h jojo se ..."she spoke making me rooted to the spot ... "Maine teri ankhome vo baat tab dekhli thi jab tujhe khud bhi iss bare me nahi pata tha nisha " she held my chin as i started looking here and there ... " Aunty ... Ye ... Aap kya ... Ayesa.. kuch nahi h " i spoke in embarrassment and looked down not able to meet eyes with her ... " Nisha mujhe sari baat to nahi pata par hum bhi uski maa hain .. Aur itna achche se jaante hain ki vo behek gaya h ,vo bewakoof zaroor h par dil se bura nahi h , aur ek aap hi h jo uski ankho se ye parda utha sakti h , aur ghabraiye nahi hum ye baat kisi se nahi kahenge ... " she said , and started caressing my hairs as i kept my head on her lap and tears started flowing accompanying the sobs ... " Par vo to mujhse pyar nahi karta h naa ... Uske liye mai bas uski friend hu , aur vo to ... " O stopped mid way , " Jasmine se pyar karta h ... Yahi na ?" She completed me , "don't be shocked nisha tum dono ko bachpan se dekte arahi hu mai , aur jis ehsaas ki tum baat kar rahi ho naa ... Vo to uss duffer ne abhi mehsoos hi nahi kia h ... " She said and chuckled ... " No matter how many stars are there but a sky has only one sun " she completed ... After a long chitchat with her finally i was happy that i can share my feelings with the one who understands ... And best part is won't judge me ...
The next part what i need to do is to get my belongings back , and the fvery first thing is my dairy ... and this i will accomplish soon .
Present :
After some couple of hours kabir came back to his house , arjun was having dinner and vasu was serving him . "Kabir beta aao dinner karlo dekh mom ne aaj itne dino baad itna achcha khana banaya , sab tere wapis ane ki khushi me kaha mujhe bas boiled vegetables milte the " he chuckled as vasu hit his shoulder for teasing , kabir sat went and sat down opposite to arjun passing him a sad smile that didn't went unnoticed by vasu . She started serving food to kabir " vaise ye sab humne iske liye nahi hmari nishu k liye banaya h ... Ye sari dishes uski favorite h , humne soacha tha aaj use ghar hi bulayenge but aaj vo busy h naa to hmne soacha ki wahi bhijwadenge " she said still noticing kabir from the corner of eye,
"Haan aaj ladkewale ane wale the naa kal ramesh bata raha tha , vasu tumne dekha ladka " arjun asked to which kabir's reaction changed to anger and a bit eager to know more ... " Han hum gaye the ... Bahut hi achcha ladka tha , aur family bhi , dono ki jodi bahut hi achchi thi , ladke ko to nisha bahut pasand h aur shayad nisha bhi... " She couldn't complete as kabir stood up from the table in irritation making the other two confused " are kya hua ?" Arjun asked ... " Kuch nahi dad pet bhar gaya , mai room me jata hoon " he said and was about to leave when vasu stopped him . " Kabir room me jane se pehle ye khana nisha ko de kar aja sab packed h , mujhe time lagega , aur khana thanda hojayega .. " she came fwd and gave him the tiffin ... He had to agree as he had no other option ... When he almost reached the main door she called him " kabir dhayaan se kahi der naa hojaye , maine bahut efforts kiye h ,ek baar thanda hojaye naa to mehek bhi chalijati h , aur mujhe pura bharosa h tum ye mehek udhne nahi doge ... " She said directly looking into his eyes hoping he understands ... he nodded and left ...
He handed the box to Lakshmi and went to terrace as nisha was not in her room and this time of the day there ia only one place where she could be found . And there she was standing at one end of the terrace lost in her thoughts when he went and stood just behind her . He bent down and spoke in his husky voice near her ear "Kuch help chahiye" making her all scared that she lost her balance and was about to fall when he held with his one hand through her waist and pulled her closer that she gasped and took a sharp breath her held his shirt for support . She parted her self as soon as she realized the dangerously close position they were in , "kabir tu .. kuch kaam tha " she said looking everywhere but not at him and his eyes only focused at her . " Tu bahut busy thi naa kuch soachne me to maine soacha thodi help kardu " he said taking slow steps towards her and she had no option as she was already standing near the edge , she froze to her spot because of his closeness...
He kept his hands on grill on both the side of her trapping her within ... "Kabir tu ye kya kar raha h " she spoke with a lot of difficulty as his presence made her breathing difficult ... She couldn't concentrate as he hept staring her in her eyes "shhh" he silenced her making her eyes lock his ... " Milne bulaya tha tujhe maine , kitna wait kia maine kya mai naa ane ki wajah jaan sakta hoon" he questions her , " kuch ghanto k intezaar se hi thak gaya kabir " this time she answered back questioning him without breaking the eye contact , he could see the pain that was residing there , and somewhere he knew he was one of the reasons for this pain. Suddenly nisha's phone rang which was kept on a table some steps away she tried escaping his grip and reach the phone but he tighten his grips more decreasing the distance more .. "meri baat khatam nahi hui nisha abhi " he said with more authority "kya jaanna h kabir tujhe , ladke wale dekhne aye the mujhe , mera yaha rehna jada jaruri tha , har baar teri bachkani zid k age gharwalo ko nahi pareshan kar sakti naa mai , aur kyu bulaya tha tune phir koi bekar ki baat hogi har baar ki tarha , aur kya mila mujhe aaj tak teri har baat maan k jab ki tere liye uss sab ki koi value hi nahi thi " she blurted out in irritation of her phone's continuous ringing ... " Kya value nahi h mujhe nisha , haan mana ek baar galti hogayi h mujhse uski saja kab tak degi .. " he said holding her shoulders tight, " teri value meri jindagi me sabse jada h ye baat tu achche se janti h , haan manta hoon mai kai baar ye proof karne me fail hua hoon but iska matlab ye nahi ki mujhe koi value nahi h , aur tujhe nahi pata ki maine tujhe kyu bulaya tha ... Tu achche se jaanti h , bas anjaan banne ka natak kar rahi h nisha ..." He said getting extreamly close to her ,his grip getting more strong making her hiss in pain which made his eyes fall on her lips and it was then he realized their proximity but it was too late to back .. the dark night and the light of stars highlight her fuller lips more " nahi pata tujhe kuch nisha .. " he asked again caressing her lips with his thumb .. he looked at her eyes once more searching for an answer but found none , he was about to withdrew back when her hand rested above his hand which was holding her face , taking that as a hint and wasting no more time he pressed his lips onto hers , freezing her to the spot . As he started moving his lips nibbling on her lower lip , it was then she came back to her sense ...
She was struck in the delima , to follow the rules of never kissing your best friend , as he was still best friendzoned or to follow waht your heart wants and giveinto the desires... And guess what she chose the second one ... And here she broke the rule again...
She gave back with same passion nibbling his lower lip when he bit her lip and entered exploring all. The kiss siad it all but still few things are better voiced out . The kiss was a mixture of their feelings desires and dominance. They kept hanging on to each other with her hands circled around his neck and his hands roaming all across her back embracing her in his cage. They broke apart breathing high their foreheads still attached but eyes closed ... Both in a delima , kabir how to confess his feelings, and she fighting how to face him with her consince ,who was shouting at a highest voice " I BROKE THE RULE AGAIN " ... When the unwanted call came to their rescue ... Nisha's phone rang again bringing them back to reality , she ran away from there not making an eye contact never looking back making kabir all confused ... The kabir who was about to confessed his feelings now wondered whether he spoiled everything because of one rushed step taken ...
