CHAPTER-2

Ananya was sitting in the balcony of her room, when her mother came with two cups of coffee for Ananya and herself... Seeing Ananya in her own thoughts, she silently placed the tray on the coffee table before them, knowing fully well that she must be thinking about the events of the evening, meeting Kabir... Giving the coffee to Ananya, her mother began... "Mujhe pata nahi tha beta ke wo tumhare Kabir Sir ki maa hain... Warna pehle hi manaa kar deti... Woh toh teri maasi..."Ananya cut her mother just in between being impatient with her mother's words, and began- "Tch! Isse kya farq padta hai maa?"

Ananya's mother looked concerned and touched her shoulder softly- "Ananya, wo divorced hain beta..."

Ananya: Toh kya hua maa?

Mother: Beta, unki patni ne unhe divorce diya hai... Pata nahi kya...

Ananya was shocked... And she did no attempt to hide it...

Ananya: Toh?

Mother: Beta, pata nahi kaisa nature hoga unka, sunte hain thoda character bhi...

Ananya was flabbergasted.

Ananya: Maa, out of all the people, you... You are saying this? News toh kuch bhi!

Mother: Par beta... Humein sach thodi na pata hai... Kya pata...

Ananya: Maa ek baat bataaiye, koi mere liye alliance aaye, and wo ye kehke mujhe thukra dein ke main ek Qaatil ki beti...

Mother: Ananya! Ye kya bole jaa rahi hai tu beta! Kuch sochke toh bol...

Ananya: Exactly Maa! Main bhi toh yahi keh rahi hu, kuch sochke toh boliye... Aur aap kaise bhool gayi ke ye wahi Kabir Sharma hain jinhone single handedly papa ke bare mein afwaahon ko jhoota karaar diya tha apni news mein...

Ananya's mother was silent; she had her head bowed down and was in deep thoughts... Probably her daughter was right... She listened to what her daughter has to say...

Ananya: Toh maa, jo insaan ghalat ka saath deta hi nahi hai, uspe shak kar rahi hain aap?

Mother: Par beta, tujhe kaise pata ke wo ghalat nahi hain?

Ananya didn't want to share the private conversation between her and Kabir... It was meant for them...

Ananya: Bas pata hai maa... Aur kuch mat poochiye iss baare mein...

Ananya's mother put a loving hand on Ananya's shoulder and caressed...

Mother: Toh beta, kya tu Kabir se shaadi ke liye tayyar hai?

Ananya: Pata nahi maa... Abhi kuch socha nahi hai... Mujhe kuch samajh hi nahi aa raha hai... Wo mere role model rahe hain... Unke pairon ke nishaano ki tarah follow kiya hai maine unhe... Ek ajeeb sa judaav hai unse... Par jab se main aaj sham ko unse mili, koi dorr hai maa jo mujhe unki taraf kheench rahi hai... Kuch hai jo mujhse keh rahi hai that his past doesn't matter at all to me... Though I know he has lots of emotional baggage with him, yet his past doesn't matter to me maa... Mere kuch samajh nahi aa raha...

Ananya's mother gave her a pecking kiss on her head, and lovingly looked at her...

Mother: Kyuki tera mann hai unke saath... Par agar tum sure nahi ho, toh kal jaake unse baat karke dekh lo... Kya pata tumhari duvidha wo jhat se door kar dein?

Her mother gave her an assuring hug, and she in return hugged her mother... No matter where their thinking differs, they both know how to come at one conclusion... That's the beauty of their relationship...

*************************************************************

Ananya came in the office the next day, and sat at her cubicle... And right then Richa teased her- "Ohho! Someone is looking all bright and gorgeous... Kal wale ladke ka nateeja toh nahi hai?"... Ananya tried hard not to blush, and with a straight face said- "Khamakhaan jaldi chali gayi ghar kal... Wo log aaye hi nahi..."She lied with a fluent go, and luckily, her friend believed it too... She didn't want to hide facts from her friends, but she wasn't sure where will this alliance lead to... She didn't want any mockery of Kabir to be made through the grapevine of the office... She decided, she'd share the news only when things are finalised at both their ends...

Just then the Peon came and informed- "Ananya Madam, Kabir Sir ne bulaaya hai aapko apne cabin mein..."... Ananya quickly looked at the switched off monitor screen of her PC, checking in the reflection if she was looking ok... And she slowly went to his cabin... knocking at his door she slowly asked- "May I come in Sir?" on Kabir's nod, she came inside, expecting to see the same soft look on his face that she saw the previous evening... But to her dismay, it was THE Kabir Sharma right now, who straight away started off with the new story he wanted her to take the beat on... Kabir snapped his fingers to bring her out of her trance... And taking her attention, he began focussing on the case, he needed her help... And the day went on with a blink of an eye, with Ananya focussing on the work, instead of his different behaviour as it was last evening... By night time, Ananya as usual went off with Ronnie on his bike, and Kabir worked till late...

Ananya had just seen Ronnie off and stepped into her flat when her cell phone rang... It was "Kabir Sir"... Ananya sighed to herself... He must have called her for the case it seems... She thought to herself, and slid her thumb on the screen of the phone to answer it... "Yes, Sir...?" "Ananya, khaana khaaya tumne?"... Ananya was a little astounded... Right now he sounds like the previous evening... Is it her own piece of imagination, or is he really switching modes?... "Ananya?" Kabir asked her again...

Kabir: Tum ho na on call?

Ananya: J.. Ji... Hoon...

Kabir: Toh? Khaana khaaya?

Ananya: Nahi sir... kyu?

Kabir: Super! I'm coming in 10 minutes, saath mein kahin dinner karte hain kahin...

And the call was disconnected... Ananya was still standing baffled... Will she ever understand him? And her confusion was rightly read by her mother...

Mother: Kya hua Ananya? Kiska phone tha?

Ananya: Maa, Kabir Sir ka... Keh rahe hain mujhe leke kahin baahar khaane par chalenge...

Mother: Tuney baat ki unse?

Ananya: Nahi na maa... Wo office mein aise behave kar rahe they jaise kal sham ko kuch hua hi nahi... kaam-kaam-kaam-bas kaam... Aur abhi aise pesh aa rahe hain as if Office mein unhone kuch kiya hi nahi...

Mother: Tu pareshaan mat ho... Abhi mil rahi hai na, tab baat kar lena...

Nodding at her mother, Ananya went off to freshen up... She could hear her mother say, "kuch dhang ke kapde pehen ke jaana..." Ananya just smiled... Taking a quick shower, she came out, and pulled out a pair of leggings and a deep maroon colour short kurta... And she wore her glasses, and giggled at herself looking at the mirror and then pulled them off... "Aaj iske bina hi theek hai..." and instead of wearing those funky bracelets, she wore a pair of wooden work maroon kangans she brought from the tribal mart... and some cute earrings, she was ready with her hair all pulled at one shoulder... And right then the call bell rang, she could hear, Kabir's voice from the door asking for her, and her mother insisting him to come sit...

Seeing Ananya out of the room, Kabir asked her mother's permission to take Ananya along, and on her mother's nod, a little fond Kabir smilingly walked off beside Ananya... She really looked so nice and decent, even with real casual dresses... Opening the passenger door of the car for Ananya, making sure she is comfortable, he walked off to the driver's seat and started off the car... All through the way, he talked so casually that Ananya was amazed at his switch over's... Who would say this is the same man in the office an hour before...

Walking off to a secluded restaurant, Kabir seated her on the chair, and sat on his... He could read her confusion right in her eyes... After ordering the dinner, he bought his face closer and asked- "Kya baat hai Ananya, mere office ke behaviour se pareshaan ho?" and Ananya just looked in his eyes, as if, he has read her "yes" too in them... "Ananya, tumne kisi ko bataaya office mein mere baare mein?"asked Kabir to her, in response same her soft shake of head in a no... And Kabir continued- "Maine bhi nahi... Aur kisi ko tab tak nahi bataaunga, jab tak tum sure nahi hogi... Bas isliye... Kisi ko shak na ho, I was behaving like I'm supposed to be... Par ab bataao, what the issue is?"

Ananya was amazed... If this guy wasn't a high-profile journalist, he would surely have been a face reader... At least for her... "Kabir sir, main confused hoon... Mera matlab hai, ke maine bohot socha, puri shaam sochi, puri raat socha, aur har baar aapki baat ko sochke ke mujhe hero-worship ka sochkar nahi haan karna chahiye, aur na hi aapki story ko sunke..."

Kabir's face came closer to hers, and his eyes boring in her eyes softly, to take away all the tension out of them, and he did the same... "Toh ismein problem kya hai?" "Sabse badi problem toh yahi hai ke aap jin points ko matter of discussion and thought soch rahe hain, wo mere liye problem hai hi nahi..."... Kabir was perturbed by what Ananya said, and his eyes spoke to her that he wants to hear her more... "Mera matlab hai ke, aapka mera idol hona, ya aapka divorced hona mujhe matter karta hi nahi hai... Maine iss direction mein jitni baar socha, utni baar mera dil aapki taraf khichta chala aa raha hai... And simply, it doesn't matter to me... Aap kal bhi mere idol they, aaj bhi hain, and for my entire life I'm going to look up at you... As for you being divorced, it was the past, and it's gone... You told me your yesterday; I have heard it all... But I am not the kind of person who spoils off her present and future for what is no more in our lives..."

Kabir never knew if there was any person existing who could make him speechless, and so clog-throated... And immediately he grabbed a glass of mineral water and drained it down his throat in one go... And still unsettled, he asked her- "So, what is your decision Ananya?"... If someone there had a stethoscope, and had measured his heartbeats, anyone could tell, he was counting his each breath for her decision...

"I want to marry you Kabir Sir, in spite of the flaws and scars of the past, to make a spotlessly clear future... Will you marry me?"

If the 9^th cloud existed, Kabir would have sat on that, and in his low husky voice, with a masculine smile adoring his lips, and the brightness in his eyes spoke- "Yes Miss. Kashyap, I want to certainly marry you too..."
