PART 1
Maan goes back to the meeting and tries to concentrate but he is continuously distracted by the the sound "RA..JAAT' I have topped". He tries to ignore it but that voice, the sweetness and softness in it keeps on troubling him'. His mind keeps wandering'"hell what is this'" He tries several times to concentrate but hearing her voice after so long he is not able to. He at last gives up'. He doesn't want to give only part of him to anything'. He excuses himself from the meeting. Client doesn't mind as his reputation is so good' there really must be something..
He immediately leaves not at all liking what he did and for what a silly reason.
He directly heads to his Gym. "How dare she'. What does she think off herself " He starts doing his tai chi feverously but still things keep on coming to his mind
Two yrs back when he has asked her "kitnee baar kaha hai maine do not poke your nose in my matter'. Go join the MBA program you are getting offer from'. Concentrate on your career" This he had shouted on her when she had only complimented him on his success that time'. And again that day he had not been able to do any work'. Her face, her talks kept coming to his mind '. He who can not be disturbed from anything' when he have made himself such that he doesn't let anything affect him how can that meek and weak girl affect his mind'. He will never accept it's not his mind but heart which gets affected'. Things keep on going in his mind and he keeps on doing Tai chi giving himself harsher and harsher pain. 1st it was his need to keep her away from himself and now it's also his ego "how can RAJAT KHANNA be afftected".
MUGDHA on the other hand is really relieved that at least she was able to call him and let him know she got on top. "mugdha why did you cut the phone idiot'. Unka reaction to dekhna tha' He must have been so proud' that I am doing so well.. isme who naraz kyun hote' but now you have spoiled everything in your nervousness'. Abb to mobile pe uthayen ge bhi nahi'. I can try from office"
mugdha tries to call Khanna group office' receptionist picks'. It's daughter of Mr. veer sherma so the phone cannot be denied she receptionist connected her to sanjam, rajat;s right hand as she did not have the power or guts to connect directly to rajat sir.
sanjam wonders why will any one from sherma family try to call thru office' rajat sir gets call from them directly' he cannot ignore and so picks
sanjam:"Yes miss sherma'. I am sanjam speaking"
mugdha:"yeah mr. sanjam' can you please connect to Mr. rajat's office'"
sanjam: "Sorry Mam'. Sir left the office few minutes ago'. Why don't you call him on mobile"
mugdha:"left the office'"
sanjam: "yeah he was in some very impt meeting when he got a call' he never picks phone at that time'. But I am nor sure why but he picked it and after that he was too disturbed to attend the meeting'. Seems there was something important' better you should call him on his mobile"
mugdha cut the call immediately' she is sure rajat is again angry from her call.. she never understand why does he get so angry from her call, her talk or her presence' why is there so much repulsion ' It was after two years that she had called him'"OMG'. He was in middle of some meeting aur tabhi maine phone kiya'. How much he hate disturbance when in middle of something' I should have understood he must be busy when he did not pick the unknown number' but no mugdha you are so dumb.. abb kya hoga'.krishnaji' Kitna aag babola ho rahe honge'" She have only one person as saviour'
rahul bhai, he was rajat's friend' tina di and priya would make fun of her'
She called bhai :"rahul bhai' who rajat' bohut naraz hain' kuch kijiye na"
rahul:"Abb college se baithe baithe tune kya ker diya'."
mugdha:"I just called him to say I have topped but he was in the meeting that time' mera phone utha liya aur abbb'"
rahul: "mugdha tu bhi na' aa bail mujhe maar' kya jaroorat thi uss nakchare ko call kerke yeh batane kee'kyun panga leti rehtee hai usse.."
mugdha:"maine to bass'"
rahul:"tum dono ka kuch samajh nahi aata mujhe' who tujhse dur rehna chata hai to chertee kyun rehtee hai usse'. Waise tell me one thing' Bachpan me tune usse kaun se karwi kardha pilaye thee jot tere naam se he woh aag babula ho jata hai'"
mugdha:"aap unse baat karenge yaa nahi'"
rahul:"theek hai kerlonga thordi der baad'. Abb main baar baar tere pange nahi sambhaln wala samjhee' iske baad agar pange le na usse to khud sambhalna.."
It was just a light hearted talk for rahul but mugdha could feel his anger' she has faced it so many times'.
She remembers when she had 1st face it
He had come to stay in her house'. was devastated by the loss of his father who was his role model and who had finished his life making rajat hear so much against his Dad from different people' they called his Dad a loser and that was not acceptable to rajat'.
He had become violent and was not controllable from Dadima' riya was small.. could be moulded but rajat at the age of 16 was at very vulnerable state' Dadima decided he needed a family and veer was more than Happy to take rajat in his house' he was son of his talented friend' whatever world says he knew his friend' and rajat had known veer's family very well and so this was the only place best for rajat that time'
sherma house was a four bedroom descent flat' not small for them but compared to Khanna Mansion it was nothing'. But these things were not that mattered that time' rajat needed a family'.
veer had never preferred to take monetary help from his friend' their friendship was precious to him' he was happy with his descent earning..
When rajat had come he was not in his senses'. He just locked himself in one room.. veer nd shakshi had decided to give him as much time and space of privacy ' they could feel his condition'.
But mugdha was small' just 11'. For her rajat was her friend' less did she realized that the situation has changed him upside down' he was no more her old friend rajat'.
It had been two days' he never came to dining area' shakshi had placed thali in his room and next time when she used to go' she used to come back with old thali as it is' he was not even touching the food'. Now mugdha was getting restless'
"Mamma can I go'. He is my friend na'"
She went to give him the food thali and took the old one in hand'. She waited there that he will even look at the food but he was looking no where'. " rajat khana" only this much and he had looked at her'. He kept looking' his eyes were red' red with pain and anger'. She got very scared' never expected this look from him' but he was not eating and this was not good' she gathered "Khana kha lijiye" he got up' took the thali from her hand and threw it on the floor, then took the one that she had brought now and threw it on the floor too'. "ho gaya' now get lost!!!" he had shouted out loud' held her hand and threw her out of the room'. This was her 1stencounter with his anger '
mugdha got goose bumps remembering that day and his anger'.
next part in evening...😊
PART 2
RAJAT in Gym... after a long physical torture of self he comes out... He is remebring his each encounter with mugdha and how every time she had diverted him from his work... "Why has this girl the power to affect me... No she doesn't have any she just keeps coming behind... To trouble me"
mugdha in her room remembering her encounters with rajat
After 5 days of locking himself in room rajat came out with some strong determination... Determination of not crying... not letting things or people around him affect him in anyways... He will now get things back, his family name, his companies reputation and everything back... He will not let anything that diverts him from his aim to come near him... He had to work hard...
Everyone was seated in the family room when rajat came there... It was evening.. tea and snack time... shakshi was more than happy to see him getting out of his shell...
He gave a smile and then "Uncle can you start my admission process from tomorrow.. I want to join as soon as possible..."
And from then and there he just started working hard on his studies.. he also started getting to know about his company... he had no intention to join half prepared but he wanted to be updated...
He then started getting friendly with rahul and tina...tinawas his same age while rahul was 2 yrs older... He was rajat's senior but they would mostly end with rajat helping him out in everything... But still kept himself less involved... mugdha used to avoid him seeing his anger the other day but as she saw he slowly got mixed with others she wanted to get her friend back... Actually she wanted to go to him and share his sorrows...she somehow felt his pain
Mostly a day or two before exams or test rajat used to come to kids and get refreshed'. That was his way... But this time when mugdha too decided to join in their fun with rajat so she went there... Everyone was playing throw ball to each other... They all called mugdha too and she joined, she started playing... she wanted to play good, somewhere within her heart trying to impress him.. it was all unknown... But the effect was huge...the moment she started playing rajat's complete attention went to her... How she was jumping, how she was playing... How her skirt flowed how her hair moved on her face and how she pushed it back... They had played together earlier too but this was sudden... he got effected with her 1st time...
His life has changed ... he needed to fill the gap of missing love... to own someone... but he didn't realize it...
He went to his room... pretty soon then... That night however he tried he was not able to concentrate on his work... Her face, her smile, her actions everything started coming up to him... No this was not done... he went out for refreshment and he was all back with a diverted mind... how can this happen' how can he be affected... He cannot do this... he needs to give full to his work... he had a big mission ahead... Not able to concentrate he slept that night... with only dreams of mugdha...
Next day he had locked himself and concentrated...Then on his exam day everyone wished him luck... As he had played with them the other day mugdha too thought to wish him... "All the best rajat" She had given a sweet smile with her innocent face... this was last thing he wanted...to face her.. he got furious and he turned to her in full anger... Just kept looking at her with his angry look... Reminding mugdha again of his anger that day... She gulped her saliva... "Maine kya kiya??" He again turned back with even angrier look... He had no answer just angry at her for taking his attention...
That day evening when rajat came mugdha went to his room... she wanted to know what wrong has she done...
"App mujhse naraz kyun ho??? Maine kya kiya??? "
"Kuch nahi' just stay away from me... I don't want you near me that's it"
"per kyun achanak' maine kya kiya..." Now this was too much for him.. he was trying to concentrate and she was troubling him... His anger rose up... he turned to her, held her hand hard and twisted it... looked at her and kept looking at her "don't want you near me... that's it... itna samajh nahi aata...mere peeche kyun padi hoo... Now get out... " and he pushed her towards the door... Even he didn't knew what gave him the right to behave so roughly with her... and he knew somehow she will keep things to herself... even If she complained he didn't care..
mugdha had felt bad...why was he so bad to her and only her... but he was right she didn't complain... he was disturbed she knew... he needed time... She cried all alone in her room...
So this kept on happening... mugdha would separate herself from him... just they had dinner or break fast together .. she kept quiet when he was near...
But again days would pass and mugdha would get restless and as he would cool down with everyone she would used to come and try to be friend... But everytime time she came closer he would just be lost in her and thus to try keeping her away from him ... for this he started using harsher ways... making mugdha even scare more of him...
This happened slowly in days.. even the family members started realizing that but they felt rajat and mugdha had some serious fight... And slowly they realized rajat didn't want mugdha near him so they suggested her to not interfere in his matter... They in no case wanted to disturb rajat who had already gone thru much...
But slowly something different started happening... mugdha started new feelings... she always wanted to go near him... she somehow felt, if she will near him he will heal... she started getting the urge to come near him... to get away all his pain... Staying away from him was hurting her...
Things changed with rajat too... He didn't let mugdha near him but now even a sight of her affected him... He was excelling in all ways and even learning more and more about companies and how to manage them... this he learned in background... he let nothing bothered him... Nor functions, b'day patries , gathering... Nothing but only one thing... mugdha... Why so... this was not bearable... What was the problem...
Sometimes it became so unbearable that he would steel sight of everyone and used to steel glance of her while she was studying or busy in something... Later he would always regret his deed and hated mugdha more for making him do so... On those occasions if by mistake mugdha would anytime come in front of him he would give her such angry spitting look and demoralizing words that it would break her... she didn't knew her fault...never knew... only his anger... But she took it all... falling more for him...It would keep on going so...
Time would pass in separation this way until either mugdha would get restless and when the pain was unbearable she used to go to him only to get back his anger and harsher mean words... That would at least satisfy him... Pouring all his frustration on her... Or sometimes when it would be unbearable for him and unknowingly his self taking him to her... Only to have some looks and result would be same... Getting frustrated on himself he would again pour out his anger on her...
3 yrs passed this way, and when he was 19 he got admission abroad for higher studies... Now also he got much better grip of how his company's work... He even seriously started making plans on how to work on the changes... what to do to make the expansion...
He was ready to go... Really happy that he was going away from the daily torture... somewhere his heart cried but he ignored it completely... He was doing his packing... Dadima and riya too came to say him good bye... Everyone was in his room helping him packing, giving last minute suggestions etc... he was fine with all that and people surrounded as it helped to ignore the unknown pain... mugdha got restless to see him... he will be gone for 2yrs... She has to meet him... It's Ok if he shows anger, he had anyways always done that and she had taken it all so it would not be a wrong bargain...
She went and stood outside the gate of his room... He was busy packing and listening to others... How lucky was priya, she was complaining to rajat "who will now help me do my studies and sports..." And he lovingly kept his hand on her cheek "rahul bhaiya hain na tumhare... and I will also bring lots of gifts for you..." She was making faces and he was smiling... Everyone explained priya not to cry when someone is going for good job... mugdha looked at it all... Suddenly Dadima saw mugdha "Aarre beta aap bahar kyun kharee hain ander aaiye na..." rajat suddenly knew who it was'. He was furoious "why has she to come now when everything was going fine"... As she came in he turned and gave a furious look to her... she stumbled... tina and priya laughed on mugdha, they always made fun of how she was scared from him..
Dadima: "Sambhal ke beta... Aiye idher baithiye..."
For rajat it was not tolerable "kyun koi tamasha laga hai yahan jo sabhi ko bheer laganee hai... main bass packing ker raha hoon isme itnee bheer kee kya jaroorat hai..."
shakshi wanted to send rajat with peace and didn't want violence at last moment...
"Chalo sab log abb apne apne kamre me jaoo... rajat ko aram se packing kerne do... Videsh jar raha hai bachcha kuch chutna nahi chahiye..."
Dadima:"aarree abhi to aayee hai becharee... aaoo beta"
rajat was angry as why mugdha was not leaving... But she wanted to have some last minutes general talk with him...
rajat:"kyun exams hain na tumhare kal... tou phir meri packing pe nahi apne pardai pe dyan do... Go do your work and let me do mine..." Rudeness was boiling but due to Dadima he tried to keep his calm... He then looked at her and signaled her to go out... she had no option but to obey him...
She went but his peace that night was gone...
Day after rajat left for London
