"Kabir Sirrr!" Ananya squealed as Kabir pulled her chair near him in his office. He looked right into her eyes and she looked back, laughing.
"Mujhe tumhe kuch btana hai." Kabir said.
"Boliye na." Ananya leaned closer.
"Ananya, tumne mujhe hamesha se apna role model samjha hai. Tumne mujhe itna pyaar kia hai, jitna aaj tak kisine mujhse nahi hai. Haan, ye sach hai ki mera ek ateeth (past) hai. Par... Mei uss past ko bhul jaana chahta hu." Kabir sighed, "Ananya Sudhir Kashyap, will you do me the honour of marrying me?"
Kabir closed his eyes as a tear dropped. He had been crying for about an hour and he knew he has to get out now. His mother, Ananya's mother, although being the same person, is waiting for him. He quickly washes his face and rushes out of the washroom.
"Kabir! Beta! Kya chale gye the tum?" Anita looked worried. Kabir got down on his knees and looked into Anita's eyes.
"Kuch nahi hoga Ananya ko, Maa. Jab tak mei hu yaha, mei usse kuch nahi hone dunga. Aap samajh rhi hai meri baat ko? Aapko rone ki bilkul zaroorat-"
"Tum ro rhe the na, Kabir?" Anita caressed his cheeks.
"Maa woh.."
"Tum aur Ananya bilkul ek jaise ho. Pata hai, jab.. Jab Ananya ki papa missing hogye the, toh Ananya bilkul sakt rahi. Strong. Ya strong hone ka dikhawa. Wo pura din hum sabko sambhalne mei lagi rhti thi, Armaan bhi bahaut chota sa tha. Par raat ko, akele, wo apne kamre mei roya krti thi. Wo strong nahi thi, Kabir, wo strong nahi thi. Kaash meine bhi usse dilaasa dia hota. Kaash meine bhi uske aansu ponche hote, uske liye pura din 5 baar chai bnayi hoti, uske liye paise kamake laayi hti, taaki ghar chal sake. Nahi Kabir, Ananya doesn't deserve this. Ananya deserves happiness. She deserves you."
"Maa, aap tension mat lo. Woh-"
"Mr. Kabir Sharma." The doctor calls out.
"Ji! Doctor, mei hi hu Kabir! Kaisi hai ab woh?" Kabir had called his worker to deposit the amount. The operation was over.
"She's critical, Mr. Sharma. Dekhiye, normally hum iss case ko aaram se solve kr skte hai. Normally, Mrs. Sharma ko ab tak hosh aa jaana chahiye tha. Par ab.. Agle 24 hours unke liye bahaut zaroori hai. Aap bas himmat rakhe. Wo zaroor jaldi theek hojayengi."
"Ji, Doctor."
