CHAPTER-3

"Yes Miss. Kashyap, I want to certainly marry you too..." Kabir confessed what he had been dreading all these years to ever say to any other female in his life after his wife stepped out on him... The insecure self never let him come near any girl in the manner that could bond them with his heart... By now he knew, this girl, Ananya made him a captive right from the day she became his junior in KKN... Though the dark clouds of insecurity have set aside a bit for the sunshine to peek, yet there remain some bits of fear that doesn't let him enjoy his moment of happiness, and his smiling lips contorted in a moment of deep thinking and worry, and he certainly asked her the same- "Miss. Kashyap, did you tell to anybody in your family, about your decision? I mean knowing my truth, they would have objected... Isn't it?"

Ananya's smile faded away for a moment, but then made a genuine effort to smile back at him and spoke- "Like every mother, my maa was also worried thinking in this context, but then understanding the point that being a divorcee, is no ground for rejection, she left the decision to me... And you now know what I want..."

Kabir gave a small smile, just assuring enough, leaving the topic then and there, talking about various topics what they like and what not, how she had a crush on him, and they continued their dinner there before walking off to Kabir's car and then to her apartment...

As soon as they entered the apartment, he made a regretting face and turned towards Armaan... "Oh! I'm so sorry Armaan, I had thought of bringing a pack of ice cream for you and Aunty, and I just forgot...".. Before anyone of them could protest as to it's ok, he pulled a 500 note out of his wallet and handed over to Armaan, and muttered slowly- "Please apni didi ko saath leke jaao Ice cream lene..."... Armaan respected Kabir way too much to even protest to his request, and grabbing his sister's wrists cajoled her on the way pulling her outside the flat to bring in a pack of ice cream...

As soon as they were out of sight, Kabir politely gestured Ananya's mother a seat on the sofa, and took an adjacent seat... His fingers entwined, and his face tilted towards her, he began... "Aunty, I took Ananya out, because I felt she wanted to talk something out with me in the office that she couldn't... She talked about her confusion, I'm sure she did to you too..."... On Ananya's mother's nod, he continued- "Aunty, I don't know if she shared the story behind my divorce, but let me tell you... Not because that will make you agree for my alliance towards your daughter in an easy way, but to make sure that just in case you agree to marry your daughter with me on your own free will you can rest assured that your daughter shall not be mistreated or be subjected to any such treatment that worse situations a mother may imagine for his daughter marrying a divorcee..."

Even before Ananya's mother would hear his story, she knew the first reason why her daughter just doesn't see him being a divorcee as a hindrance... For his honesty and politeness... The man in him didn't even ask her a compulsion to marry her daughter off to him, even though he knew Ananya would always agree to the alliance... He simply wants to clarify things out for her... And Ananya's mother smiled to herself... Liking this boy at the first place... And then she was drowned in the story of Kabir's past co-relating with the news that was telecasted then... And unlike her daughter, her dupatta's pallu served as the napkin wiping away the tears that flow out of her eyes... She could fully relate to his plight, because she had seen her husband in the similar kind of situation, where his reputation and respect were butchered off with no one listening to him... This time she knew it completely, why her daughter chose to defend this guy in front of her own mother... This boy deserved that...

Ananya's mother just placed a loving hand over his hair, caressing them... And withdrew it slowly just when she heard a few footsteps reaching to the flat's door... They looked up to find Ananya and Armaan back with the ice cream... As soon as they came, Kabir cleared his throat as if it was paining and asked Ananya- "Would you please prepare a cup of tea for me Ananya, just don't know what was wrong with the curd at the restaurant..." And Ananya was off to the kitchen...

Kabir looked back at Ananya's mother with the same polite eyes, and her mother spoke this time to him smilingly- "Meri beti ne haan keh di na aapko?"... Kabir softly nodded his head, not knowing what her mother has to say about this... And she continued- "Meri beti ne heera chuna hai... You are a gem Kabir... You know that? I certainly was apprehensive like any mother would have... But you've cleared all my doubts... I really want Ananya to have you as a life partner... A soul mate that she cannot get in anybody else... I'll talk to your mother soon..." And Kabir just smiled back, and at the same moment Ananya entered the hall with a tray... A cup of tea for Kabir and three bowls of Choco-Fudge ice cream and spoke right at the entrance- "Kya baatein ho rahi hain?" Ananya looked a little apprehensive, seeing them talking in undertones... And Kabir diffused the situation making an excuse... Leaving it on his Future mother-in-law to decide how she would tell her daughter about her agreeing on the alliance...

Sipping the tea, he looked up at Ananya from the raised cup, and his eyes met with hers... Her eyes silently asking if the tea is ok... And the smile and shine in his yes told her that he liked it... Right now she could see his demeanour very light and hearty... That she hadn't seen him ever... What it was? Their confession? Unhuh! Something else... She didn't know... Finishing the tea, Kabir took their leave, as he was getting late for his home, leaving behind the three of them...

As soon as Ananya turned back after closing the door after seeing off Kabir, she saw Armaan nagging his mother, asking what Kabir Sir was talking to her... And her mother softly asked Armaan to go back to his room... She'd tell him a bit later after talking to Ananya... The boy went off to his room, and Ananya sat down on the sofa again with her mother... Ananya needn't ask her mother what she had a talk with Kabir, as her mother herself began- "Ananya, Kabir ne mujhe apne divorce ke baare mein sab bataaya beta... Wo nahi chaahte they ke main kisi andhere mein rehke apni beti ki zindagi ke baare mein faisla karoon..." Ananya was shocked... She just couldn't understand where this was going... Her fingers crossed lying idly on her lap, just wishing heart in heart that her mother doesn't out rightly refuse to Kabir's alliance... And nervously Ananya asked- "Phir... Phir Maa?".. Seeing the nervous and frightened look, her mother quickly continued- "Ananya, I don't know if you found it or not, but he's such a genuine man, that one could hardly find... I'm so proud of you Ananya that u chose to defend him in front of your mother... You chose the right man... Perfect!"

Ananya could hardly believe her ears... Did her mother actually accept him for her...? And the pleasantly surprised look on her face made her mother burst into a beautiful smile, hugging her daughter in a tight hug... And Ananya couldn't help but squeal in happiness, and hearing her squeals, Armaan rushed out to see both the ladies of the house hugging and happy, and he joined in when his mother opened her arms for him too... "Teri didi ke liye Kabir Sir kaise rahenge?" his mother asked Armaan... And Armaan the boy, he was happier than his own sister- "Maa, unke jaisa banda meri behen ko mile, I would be the happiest..." And the three of them hugged together revelling the moment of happiness...

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

Kabir looked up at his wrist watch the 8^th time in the past 3 hours in his cabin, checking in if his clock was right... It was past 12 pm now, and Ananya was nowhere in the office... At last he called the peon, and asked straight- "Ananya madam kahan hain? Abhi tak aayi nahi?"... The peon shook his head along with placing a paper on his table... "Ananya madam ke ghar se leave application aayi hai... Unki tabiyat theek nahi hai... Wo aaj nahi aa paayengi office..." and the peon left the cabin with Kabir wondering as well worrying for what happened to her... He immediately called on her cellphone... It ringed for one long minute before the recorded tone was heard "The caller you are trying to reach is currently busy... Please try again later..." Kabir kept the phone aside, and continued his work presuming her to be sleeping... After an hour her again tried, and the same tone was received again and again, with her not receiving his call even once... He didn't have any other number that could connect him to her... After a few more hours, he actually started getting tensed for her, as to what the matter is... if not for her, why isn't anybody receiving the call...

Finally at 5 pm, he rushed out of the office, and drove out straight to Ananya's apartment, and asked her mother about Ananya's health... She instead got worried- "Kya hua Ananya ko? How did you come to know that she's unwell? Why didn't she tell me?" Seeing her mother so hysterical, he looked up at a guiltily looking Armaan who immediately pacified his mother... "Maa, didi bilkul theek hain... She had to go somewhere that is why she sent the application in the office..." Kabir took their leave... His tension now turned to slight irritation and anger... She could have given a valid reason and gone... Why did she lie to me...? And why the hell doesn't she pick his call up... He drove back to his home, and rang the call bell... The house keeper opened the door, and right in front of him sat his mother and Ananya in the drawing room talking secretively... He came and stood right before Ananya with his eyes spitting fire in them... With his arms crossed on his chest his cold-steely voice was back- "Aapki toh tabiyat kharaab thi na?" the anger in his eyes told her clear and bold, he knows she lied, and she did not futile attempt to lie to him, but tried explaining- "Woh..." and just then he cut her in between, and asked her again... "Phone rakhti hain aap?" on her nod he continued- "Toh call utha bhi liya karein..." and she immediately grabbed her bag realising it was kept on silent since the previous night... She looked at it... 15 missed calls... 13 from Kabir Sir, right from 12 noon, till 6 pm, and 2 from her mother some 5 minutes back...

She looked apologetically at him- "I'm sorry... Kal restaurant mein silent kiya tha, phir ring mode par karna... Bhool gayi..." But it didn't move Kabir a single inch... His eyes still were spitting fires, and it scared Ananya like hell...

Kabir did not tell her how worried he was, or it was his care for her that he has been sitting restless in the office the entire day, and had been madly searching for her right from the office to her flat to his home... The insecure-introvert man, who has been hurt enough by his previous lady came to the fore... And with writhing anger spoke- "Agar aap mujhe itna bhi nahi bataa sakti ke aap mere ghar jaa rahi hain, aur mujhe itna hi suspense mein rakhne ka shaukh hai toh humein saath rehne ke baare mein sach mein sochna chahiye..." and he was off to his room... Locked himself up... Leaving behind his bewildered mother, and a shocked and highly upset Ananya... Even if her "Kabir Sir" scolded her, she could bear that, but right now the way her to-be-fianc talked to her was unbearable... Some unshed tears formed in her eyes, that she tried hard not to spill out, and after seeking her future mother-in-laws permission, she dashed out of the door... Kabir stood at his window to get some fresh air to vent out his anger to see a crying Ananya rushing out of his house, wiping her tears carelessly, hiring an auto, and off she went...

Here an angry possessive man stood breathing heavy in his anger, and there a weeping Ananya hiccupping her breaths crying in pain, given by her man...
