EPILOGUE

SS: Marrying Miss. Kashyap

PART-1

Ananya got up from her cubicle seat, gave a look at the clock... It said 3 P.M. The normal working hours ended at 5-6 pm for her... But today, she needed to go back soon; it was her mother's strict instruction... She packed her bag, but left it on the table, and first went in to Kabir's cabin to seek his permission to leave, or she may find a letter of being fired; tomorrow on her desk...

Straightening up her top she knocked at Kabir's Cabin glass door... "May I come in Sir?" Ananya asked his permission. Kabir who was immersed in a file reading the details of a certain news, looked up from it, and asked in the same monotonous tone- "Yes Miss. Kashyap..." and he was again in the concentration of the file... After a few seconds he spoke again to gain Ananya's attention- "Aap yahan picnic manaane toh aayi nahi hongi Miss. Kashyap, main aisa maan ke chal raha hoon... Toh aap bataayengi ke aap yahan kyu aayi hain?" Kabir spoke up from his file when he started, and finally looked up at her face by the time he finished...

Ananya flinched a bit... "Why doesn't this guy ever speak in a normal tongue? Sarcasm sits at the tip of his tongue to lash out every time he speaks..."Ananya thought to herself... But she didn't want to spoil her mood, so she came straight to the point... "Sir, mujhe half day leave chahiye..."... Kabir looked straight at her face rotating his chair by a few degrees so that she could see he's listening... "And why do you need a half day leave Miss. Kashyap?" Kabir was intrigued... Ananya wasn't comfortable answering, so she tried warding away the question- "Sir kuch kaam hai mujhe ghar par..."

"Kyu, aapko dekhne ladke wale aa rahe hain kya Miss Kashyap?" Kabir's direct bulls eye question made Ananya taken aback... "J... Ji sir? Ye aap kya keh rahe hain... Meri maa ko kuch kaam hai mujhse... T...toh main jaa sakti hoon kya sir?"... Kabir nodded subtly in affirmation to her request... As soon as Ananya's back turned to him, he gave to himself that tiny smirk behind her back... Ananya dashed out of his cabin as fast as she could after thanking him, and went straight to the restroom, and stood infront of the mirror looking at her face... touching her cheeks she self questioned- "Was it looking that obvious from my face? Nah! I don't think so... Toh? Kabir sir ko kaise pata chala? Richa ya Ronnie ne bataaya hoga? Unh! Nahi wo log kyu bataayenge... phir? Phir kaise pata chala hoga sir ko?" Ananya was doing her self-talk when her cellphone started ringing out loud... Picking up the call, it was from her mother- "Tu nikli ke nahi Ananya office se?" and answering her back to be reaching as soon as possible, she rushed out to catch a taxi to her home...

It was 6 pm now... Certain Aunty from Chandigarh had come to see Ananya for her son, letting them know that her son has been working in Delhi for the past decade at a very respectable position... Her son would join in soon... And certainly the call bell rang... Armaan opened the door, and stumbled back seeing the person, but recovered from his shock and called him inside... Before anyone of them could ask anything, the Patiala suit clad Aunty from Chandigarh came forward and introduced- "Mera beta... Kabir Sharma..."

If anything, Ananya was befuddled... Ananya's mother had already recovered quickly to cause any embarrassment to Kabir or his mother, and asked both Kabir and Ananya to join each other in Ananya's room balcony offering snacks and tea for Kabir, laid on the table...

Ananya dragged her feet to her room wordlessly and Kabir followed her till they were in the balcony, where Ananya stood like a lifeless doll dressed in a decent chudidaar-kurta, unlike her daily wears in the office; almost dumbfounded with the surprise Kabir has thrown her way. Kabir knowing quite well what he had meant to her being her idol all the way, and suddenly he has thrown this her way without informing...

Before she stumbles anywhere in her stupor, he ushered her on one of the lounge chairs laid there... But instead he stood there beside her, over-looking the view of New Delhi from her balcony... His T-shirt's sleeves pulled up till his elbow, and his hands in his denim pockets... And slowly begun speaking, knowing she'd be listening to him... "Ye naam... ye shohrat... kaamiyaabi... Editor-in-chief... KKN... Delhi Kranti... Aaj ya kal mile hue naam nahi hain Ananya... It needed perseverance, patience, and lots of hardwork... Pichle 10 saalo se zyada Media ke Field mein hoon... Par jitna maine paaya hai, use kahin zyada khoya hai..." Ananya looked up at him at his sincere heart pour, and quietly heard him out... Strangely she felt, its neither Miss. Kashyap listening, and certainly not Kabir Sir, The Kabir Sharma speaking... Right now was no lecture, he was speaking life to someone who needs to know his past, present and future, not for the information sake, but for the better decision of life... And she decided to not disturb him in his heart pour; he needed to tell somebody... If not for the alliance, at least he will feel light after this... And surely, Kabir continued... "KKN mein Malvika aur Khalid ko aisa lagta hai ke tum meri parchaayi ho, bilkul meri jaisi... Ziddi, Hard working, Sparking, Fierce, Courageous... Mujhe bhi aisa hi lagta hai... Par tum mein ek wo cheez hai jo ab mujh mein kho chuki hai... Innocence, bholapan, maasoomiyat... Thi kabhi mere andar bhi, lekin zindagi har insaan ko maasoom bane rehne ka mauka nahi deti... Jaise ki tum jaanti ho various news, sources, rumours aur tumhare questionnaire se (Kabir gave a small chuckle at it and then continued in the same serious tone) ke meri shaadi ho chuki thi Shreya se, main divorced hoon, aur kayi logon ko lagta hai ke mera aur Tarini ka affair chalta hai... Tarini meri junior reporter thi, bilkul tumhari tarah... Bohot junoon tha usko apne kaam se, and main har uss insaan ki izzat karta hoon jismein apne kaam ke prati itna lagaav hota hai, be it Tarini or be it you..." Ananya did not know why she felt so clogged up... But this man holds something that bonds her so much to him... She concentrated back to what he was saying- "It was a dangerous beat, and I should have been there with her on time, but unfortunately Shreya ki kisi zidd ke chakkar mein late ho gaya, aur baad mein I found her(Tarini) molested... Case file hua, News par news break hui, sab kuch hua Tarini ke baare mein ke uska kaam, uski job, uski zindagi, sab kuch bikhar padi, when she got to know, she has conceived coz of that molester... She was in a fix to give birth to that child or not... And she decided to continue with her pregnancy... Usko mere saath ki zarurat thi, aur mujhe apna guilt kam karne ki... Tarini par news banna kam hui bhi nahi thi ke ek aur breaking news kisi channel ne de daali, uski pregnancy ki, jisko meri aur meri closeness ka nateeja maana gaya... Shreya was furious... She out rightly blamed me for cheating on her inspite of constant tries of explanations... Tarini DNA Test tak karaane ko raazi ho gayi thi toh help save my home... Par maine manaa kar diya... Jo patni ko apne pati ki loyalty par yaqeen nahi, usko kis-kis baat ka yaqeen dilaata rahunga saari zindagi... Aur wo bina mere side ki story jaane, mujhe divorce deke chali gayi... Tab shayad meri wo position nahi thi in the field of Journalism, jo aaj hai... Apni innocence ko prove karne ke liye bhi aapko power chahiye rehti hai iss nashe ke bikne wale bazaar mein... Aur mera dhyaan sirf power par lag gaya tab se... KKN ko badhaana meri zimmedaari hai, aur uski power ko paana meri zindagi ka maksad, aur usko pane ke liye, main KKN ke har reporter, employee, sabka 100% potential use karwaata tha... Tumhe khaas taur pe... Tumse meri koi dushmani nahi thi Ananya, bas yu samajh lo, ke tumhare andar ki uss maasoomiyat ko bachaake rakhne ki koshish kar raha tha, tumhe aagey-se-aagey badhaane ke liye, provoke karke motivate karne ke liye... I wanted you to grow out with your sparks that were like me, but not letting your innocence fade away unlike me..."

Ananya wanted to really cry out, her throat was clogging up hell badly with her attempts to suppress her sobs... She didn't know how he would take her empathy to be... Will he ever understand the gravity of her emotions towards him... She had hero idolised him till now, but today, she knew from this moment on, her respect for him grew notches higher... And come what may that can never be reduced...

She ran away to the coffee table in her room, in order to grab a jug of water to serve both of them, and in the meanwhile her unrestrained tears started shedding ... Wiping them off quickly, she came back to the balcony to find him still standing in the same brooding position... She offered him a glass of water, she could feel his pain... And indeed he gulped down two glasses of water one after the other... And then from the looks on Ananya's face, he knew she has cried without letting him know... He filled another glass of water and brought it to her lips asking her to drink it... "Pee leejiye paani... I don't think warna aap kuch bol paayengi aisi haalat mein..." And she took a gulp of water... The uncanny situation that it was... Here she was gulping down water drown her throat and the other end tears had started flooding out of her eyes in another form of water... And she sobbed some bit... Sobbing for the pain of that person who holds high position in her eyes...

Kabir sat next to her on the other lounge chair, ruffling her hair until she found her semblance... Wiping her tears, she tried making the environment light- "Aapne office mein hi kyu nahi bataaya ke you are about to come..." and Kabir in his teasing tone and sparkling eyes spoke- "Toh aapke hosh udte hue kaise dekhta yahan Miss, Kashyap?" he tried being normal... But this time Miss. Kashyap did not go away with the flow of her expectation... And she saw the same on his face, he had turned sober and spoke- "Ananya, tumhe apni sob story sunaane ka ye matlab nahi hai ke main tumhe emotionally weak karke tumhe iss alliance ke liye agree karwa loon..." Ananya was bewildered... And he continued- "You are a young girl Ananya, life has lots for you in store... Don't settle in for hero worshipping me... Socho-samjho, aankh-naak-kaan kholke rakho, aur uske baad decide karna... You deserve more and better, and not a brooding-divorcee man... Think in all directions before you decide..."

And he quietly exited the room, ready to leave with his mother... Ananya ran out of her room, to see them off, and with one final glance towards her, Kabir drive off his car taking is mother away...
