Agar Tum Saath Ho...
Pal bhar thahar jaao
Dil ye sambhal jaaye
Kaise tumhe roka karun
Meri taraf aata har gham phisal jaaye
Aankhon mein tum ko bharun
Bin bole baatein tumse karun
'gar tum saath ho..
Agar tum saath ho
"Achha bataiye yeh kaisa hai", Ananya asked as she put forward a pic in front of Kabir.
"Hmm... suit pe cufflinks hai... handkerchief tie se match karta hai... Yeh fashion mein bohot interest rakhta hai...lekin bechare ke paas dimaag nahi hai..." Kabir replied cheekily as he passed a look on to her as if saying 'Are-you-serious-that-you-are-even-considering-him...'
"What do you mean dimaag nahi hai iske paas..." Ananya asked showing more interest in his theory rather than the boy or the pics of the numerous boys that her mom had shown her and asked her to choose among for tying the knot. And she had reluctantly took them and stuffed in her bag after Anita's emotional atyachaar muttering that she would have a look at them nicely in the office.
"Are aise thinking pose de raha hai jaise bada intelligent banda hai...upar se yeh mote frame wala chashma... taki aur intelligent lage... jabki yeh chashme ka size do number zyada hai... jaanti ho jo log aksar hoshiyaar dikhne ki koshish karte hai, vo hote nahi... I don't think ki tumhe chalega...*krikk* rejected..." He replied in a tone that showed that he is not even thinking to consider the boy for her as he made a sound from the back of his throat by touching his tongue to the upper set of teeth in his mouth.
"Rejected... here good... Achha yeh wala..." Ananya smiled slightly showing another picture, while his reply made her heart dance... though unconciously her heart lit up inwards.
"Sport loving hai, fitness freak hai, outdoor activities karta hai aur din mein 16 ghante ghar se bahar rehta hai..." Kabir said in the matter of a second as soon as he laid his eyes in the pic of a boy having a stupid face and huge build.
"Aapko kaise pata..." Ananya asked too interested to know his theory on his deduction this time. She was not at all interested in the boys but she had tried to take his opinion too... who knows may be his theories help her to explain her reasons to her dearest mom to reject the 'So-In-Demand' boys as per her mom and relatives.
"Iski body dekh rahi ho kitni tan ho gayi hai... matlab yeh pure time dhoop mein rehta hai..Aur jo indoor rehta bhi hai toh vo gym mein... iski jo body hai yeh 4 ghanta work out ki hai... you know... Aur baal dekho... ek ek baal set kiya hua hai... hilega nahi... jaanti ho yeh tumse zyada khud mein interest rakhta hai...toh ur choice... soch lo..." Kabir replied as he raised his brows again in a way that Ananya has been becoming so used too and had even started to like it secretly.
"Hmm... theek hai... agle baar maa ko bol doongi... jab ladke dekhne jaayenge... toh sabse pehle aapse consult kar le..." She replied teasingly smiling while he smiled mysteriously and Ananya instantly knew his mind was upto something.
"Waise ek aur option hai..." he replied casually as he leaned on the chair comfortably. Though their relationship... rather friendship had reached to a level where they have become quite comfortable with each other and teased and healthily flirted with each other... or say mostly the flirting part was on Kabir, but the way he said this has made her heart skip a beat.
"Kya..." She asked sounding casual, keeping a calm look out while her heart inside her chest palpitated badly. Anticipating his answer her heart skipped many beats and Kabir passed on an intense look to her that lasted only for a second before their attention was gained the shrill ringing of her blackberry. Ananya tore her eyes from him while her heart cursed the intruder and his perfect timing but seeing the caller ID to be of Khalid's, she picked it immediately.
Behti rehti..
Nahar nadiya si teri duniya mein
Meri duniya hai teri chaahaton mein
Main dhal jaati hoon teri aadaton mein
'gar tum saath hoBehti rehti..
Nahar nadiya si teri duniya mein

"Hey Ananya aur kitna time lagega tumhe pohonchne mein... its getting late..." Kabir asked impatiently as he looked at his wrist watch for the umpteenth time. It was almost 10 pm and Ananya was nowhere to be seen. He was worried for her coz she was coming driving on her own and that too at this hour.
"Kabir sir I will be reaching in 20 minutes maybe... caught in traffic..." Ananya replied as she peeked from the front glass of her Eon to see if there is a way to escape the heavy traffic.
"Okay okay... Ananya no need to drive too fast... don't rush... drive carefully and come soon...I will wait..." Kabir replied with a hint of concern in his voice which made her smile wide on the other side.
Ananya quickly moved in the airport after the formalities of checking in and immediately took out her cell phone to call Kabir when she saw Kabir sitting in the waiting area and looking at his watch impatiently. She smiled as she rushed towards him.
"Hi Kabir sir... am so sorry... You know the Delhi traffic..." She said shrugging her shoulders while he just shook his head. They were departing for Goa to follow a lead on the murder of the famous writer and poet Shailesh Anand, a case that Khalid and KL had recently handed him, along with an advice to take Ananya along to work on as everyone in the office believed that Kabir and Ananya made ad dynamic team and could get a hand on the most complicated of leads. Kabir had reached airport almost an hour before her and she as usual was late again, though she had a perfectly genuine reason this time.
"Kitna late kar diya Ananya... tumhare liye main bhooka baitha raha.. tumhara intezaar karta raha... chalo I am starving now..." Kabir was up on his feet as son as he caught sight of her and said cutely making her chuckle.
"Sorry baba... chaliye ab.." She rolled her eyes.
Teri nazron mein hai tere sapne
Tere sapno mein hai naraazi
Mujhe lagta hai ke baatein dil ki
Hoti lafzon ki dhokebaazi
Tum saath ho ya na ho kya fark hai
Bedard thi zindagi bedard hai
Agar tum saath ho
Agar tum saath ho
"Maine suna toh tha ki ladkiyaan taiyaar hone mein aur packing wagerah karne mein kaafi time leti hai... par pata nahi tha ki tumhe bhi itna time lagta hain... " Kabir teased her as they walked towards the food court. Due to sudden plans of departing the same night after the case was given to them, all the things, packing and all had become a hotch potch and they had not even got a single spare minute to eat or drink in peace. Kabir had been feeling extremely hungry but had been waiting for her to arrive. The flight being 2 and half hours late they still had an hour time at hand to fill their starving tummies.
"What do you mean Kabir sir... main ladki nahi hoon kya..." She asked sounding irritated with a mock hurt tone.
"Nahi nahi...I didn't mean that... of course tum ladki ho... no doubt... par tum vo usual girls ki tarah thodi na ho... you are different... An exception... so I thought ki tumhe yeh sab extra ke kaamo mein zyada time nahi lagta hoga..." Kabir replied in a sweet flirtatious tone while his eyes showed that though flirting his every word was truth. She was different... very different and unusual... a lovely girl in and out.
"Kabir sir... aap bhi na..." She uttered aloud in her trademark style, glaring at him, though inwardly tried to stop her smile, she wasn't conscious of how every pore of her being rejoiced on hearing his words. She loved it whenever he teased her or appreciated her, be it even the smallest thing, her heart glowed at each of his smiles while he smirked perfectly knowing the reason behind her mock tone.
"Kitni baar bola hai tumhe Ananya... call me only Kabir... K. A. B. I. R..." He uttered and spelled his name irritated a bit while she just chuckled. Kabir just shook his head at her as they walked in the food court. Taking seat on a secluded place, they ordered her favourite Veg Asparagus Bruschetta, his favourite Risotto balls with pizza sauce and cheese dip to go along. They discussed about the cases they were working on while having the yummy food. A sweet smile crept up her cheeks to see Kabir relishing the food with gusto.
"Looks like aapko bhi Italian khaana bohot pasand hai...nahi..." Ananya asked leaning on the table.
"Haan... bohot...mujhe Italian khaana banana aur khaana dono hi pasand hai..." he replied.
"Great... Kabir Sharma can cook too... well that's a revelation to me..."
"Tumhe kya lagta hai... agar koi ladka bahar kaam karta hain... toh use kitchen ke kaam nahi aate honge..." he said cheekily with a smirk.
"Dikh raha hai Kabir ki aapko yeh sab kitna pasand hai coz you are gobbling on the good like a kid... aur aapke face par mayo bhi laga hua hai..." She uttered teasingly.
"Oh really... thanks.." he took a tissue and dabbed it on his face and chin.
"Abhi bhi hai... vaha par..." Ananya said pointing somewhere towards his face. He again dabbed but she shook her head in a neagtive and he was about to stand up to go to the washroom when she stood up and leaned against the table, picking up a tissue she lifted his chin from her left palm's fingers and wiped the corners of his lips clean with her right hand...
"Lijiye... ab ho gaya..." She said as she sat down while Kabir looked on stumped and his expressions made her realise what she had done... though just involuntarily but she had been very frank. She felt blood rush to her cheeks, warming them up and she lowered her eyes in shyness and embarrassment. She so wished the earth would swallow her that very minute. Kabir smirked and opened his mouth to tease her when her phone rang and she, thanking her lucky stars slipped out of the restro immediately.
Palkein jhapakte hi din ye nikal jaaye
Bethi bethi bhaagi phirun
Meri taraf aata har gham phisal jaaye
Aankhon mein tum ko bharun
Bin bole baatein tumse karun
'gar tum saath ho
Agar tum saath ho
Kabir chuckled at her back... he stood up and after paying the bills turned to move outside when he felt someone colliding right into him. He quickly uttered an apology as he backed off and bend down to help the young lady with her fallen off belongings.
"Kabir... Kabir Sharma...right???" The girl suddenly asked as she looked at his face properly and Kabir looked up to her... only to feel that her face seemed familiar. He frowned as to remember where has he seen her.
"Yeah Kabir... but... I am sorry... maine aapka pehchana nahi... you are..." Kabir replied still trying to remember.
"Neha... tum mujhe bhool gaye Kabir... apni college friend ko..." She replied crossly as she folded her arms.
"Neha... Fergusson College... Pune... Two years junior to me... right?" Kabir asked as he remembered her at the moment.
"Yeah... thank god... am glad at least tumhe yaad hai ki main tumse kitni saal junior thi... maine socha bhi nahi tha ki mujhe apne boring se business trip pe itna achha surprise milega..." She replied sweetly as she extended her hand. Kabir shook her hands and then pulled her in a friendly side hug. She had been his junior during college times and he had saved her from ragging twice and then they had become best of friends during that period... so good that people had even tried to join their names but Kabir always ignored the wagging tongues...and continued with his friendship with her but work pressure and busy schedules had made them loose contact with each other. But now, meeting after years they were too happy to see each other again.
"Not my fault... tum hi toh gayab ho gayi thi... Aur ab aise achanak... but am so pleased to meet you again..." he said genuinely.
"Haan... padhai puri karne US chali gayi thi... abhi abhi India pohonchi hoon...so you stay in Delhi..." She further asked.
"Yeah... though I will be leaving for Goa for some work in a few minutes... tum yaha kaise..."
"MD of Singhania and Companies... Neha Saigal ko apni nayi Delhi branch ke inauguration ke liye toh aana hi tha... bas isliye..." She replied merrily and he grinned as he again pulled her in a bear hug to congratulate her.
"Kabir... Tinu ka phone tha... pichhle lead ke..." Ananya stopped as she saw Kabir hugging a girl with a bright smile on his face. Kabir turned around on hearing Ananya's voice as he took his hands off Neha's back. Ananya's heart burned with jealousy as she saw his arms around her and her flow of words had immediately stopped. Oh who the hell was she and why was she sticking to him like a fly stuck to jaggery... she thought. The intensity with which she felt irritated to see them, even surprised her. Though unknown, but nowadays there was something due to which she was never able to see him with anyone else...
"Are Ananya... come here... let me introduce you to my best friend from college... Neha Saigal..."
"Vahi friend jise tum bhool gaye the... par main nahi bhooki thi... bhooki bhi kaise.. har raat tumse KKN par 9 baje mulaqaat jo ho jaati thi..." Neha uttered in a movk hurt tone looking up at him cutting his words.
"Sorry na yaar...maaf kardo ab...and yeah Neha she is..." He was saying only to be interuppted again by Neha. She immediately replied, "Kabir ruko... lemme guess..." and scanning her from top to bottom she continued in her chirpy voice, "Okay... so this beauty with brains looks like... she is your girlfriend or may be your fiancee... Right Kabir???"
Ananya's eyes popped out at the statement while he quickly turned to look at her. She was looking at him wide eyed and he could see that she was feeling embarrassed to an extent too. He felt bad to put her in such a situation. And Ananya blushed pink as she lowered her eyes breaking their eyes lock. He turned back to Neha.
"Neha... bad guess... achha hua ki tum koi reporter nahi ho...varna to hi jaata news ka kaam... and secondly saamne wala ki baat toh tumhe sunni hi nahi hoti hai na... She is Ms. Ananya Kashyap, my colleague..." Kabir replied in a chilled out tone so as to lighten the atmosphere for Ananya and put her at ease. But he admits somewhere deep he couldn't help but feel glad at the way Neha had addressed them. He liked it... liked her... liked her a lot... admired her... adored her... but what more... he wasn't sure about she he loves her or not... his past and the pain of a troubled relationship with Shreya always forbade him him from exploring his feelings more... know her more... He knew that she too likes him but he doesn't knew what more... if she liked and considered him more than just a colleague or friend.
While Ananya was sure that she liked him... he was an amazing man... very caring, sweet, humble, helpful, empathetic, loving, friendly, honest, and his handsome looks and charmingly charismatic personality were a bonus on top of all the qualities he had. Sometimes she felt him interested in her but sometimes he behaved too plain... and that was where she would be confused of her feelings too. She us always thankful to the almighty that she has a quality to hide her feelings which helped her a lot to maintain good professional relation with him, or else she would have been in a total mess.
"Oh... I am so sorry Ms. Ananya... plz don't mind... by the way it's so nice to meet you..." Neha extended her hand to her. Ananya smiled slightly as she shook her hand. Neha's phone rang and she bid them a goodbye but not before taking him in a bear hug and taking his recent number along with her. Ananya moved her face side wards as if she just didn't wanted to witness the hug. Later they too taking their luggage along moved towards the runway.
Teri nazron mein hai tere sapne
Tere sapno mein hai naraazi
Mujhe lagta hai ke baatein dil ki
Hoti lafzon ki dhokebaazi
Tum saath ho ya na ho kya fark hai
Bedard thi zindagi bedard hai
Kabir took off his headphones as he sipped at the glass of juice in his hand. Ananya was browsing through a woman's magazine sitting beside him. She had gone unusually quite after the Neha incident on the airport. She was very talkative and chirpy person usually but now she was feeling very restive and Kabir's reply to Neha that she was just a colleague was making her even more fidgety and impatient. Though she had known what would he reply but still she felt irritated as if it was not something she was intending to listen...
Ananya turned to look at him... sitting on her left, he seemed relaxed looking out of the window. The air hostess had provided him his favourite apple juice some time ago and he was enjoying it. She felt a smile creeping up her cheek looking at his calm face as she felt her worries flying away with the thin air. She was smiling when Kabir turned towards her only to find her smiling to herself looking at him. He gestured her asking the reason for smiling but she didn't respond and he snapped his fingers in front of he face bringing her out of her stupor. She looked away embarrassed thinking that it was her bad day as she was behaving so stupid. Kabir smiled wide as he looked at her flushed face.
"Kya hua Ananya... kaha khoyi thi tum... Kuch hain kya mere chehre pe..." he asked with an innocent face. She blushed even more before she faced him bravely again.
"Aisa toh kuch nahi hai.. aapko aisa kyu lag raha hai..." She said pretending to concentrate on the page of the open magazine lying in her lap.
"Nahi tum mere chehre ko itne gaur se dekh rahi thi... toh maine socha... ki ya toh mere chehre pe kuch laga hua hai Jose tum dekh rahi ho... ye phir meri surat hi itni achhi hai ki tumhari nazare hi nahi hat rahi mujhse..." he again teased mercilessly. Though unwantingly, but she couldn't help stop the blush that stained her cheeks. She smiled a lop sided smile glaring at him and he just shrugged looking at her as if he doesn't know what effect his words did on her.
"Very funny... I was just..." She had started to speak sternly when she felt an arm brushing against her right arm. She turned at the distraction only to see a young boy moving pass her with a flirtatious smile. She passed in a disgusting look at his way while Kabir who had witnessed the scene clenched his fingers into a fist but drinking his anger so as not to create a scene, he stood up and asked her to do the same. She asked the reason but he insisted and she stood up. He asked her to sit on his place and he himself sat on hers. Ananya grinned wide understanding the reason behind his gesture and turned sideway to hide her smile and blush at his gesture. 'Oh so he felt bad to see someone annoying me... he is protective towards me...' she thought, her heart doing a happy jig.
The flight to Goa was mostly silent, both dealing with their feelings towards each other. Kabir was happy after he saw a current of irritation and jealousy pass through her eyes when Neha hugged him while he became more ecstatic when he saw her blush on being called as his girl. He was feeling loved, liked and belonged... as if she owned him. And the feel gave him a satisfactory smile. Kabir was still thinking about her when he felt a weight on his shoulder... he looked to see what it was and his face split into a big happy grin. Ananya's head had fallen on his shoulder unconciously in her slumber.
"Poor girl... must have been too tired..." Kabir mumbled softly as he looked at her tired face which had an unusual lovely glow. Her smile was as usual sweet and he couldn't help but say that "You are really beautiful Ananya... in and out..." Though she was asleep and must not have heard but he said what was in his heart. And other reason he has never revealed this compliment to her was because though inwardly happy, out she would only make him stop with a glare along with a stern, "Kabir sir..." thinking that he is just flirting around. He chuckled at the thought and again looked at her face. An errant tendril of hair of her loose locks was kissing her face and eyes and obstructing his view of her lovely face. He moved his hand and very gently so as not to wake her up pushed the hair behind her ear. His fingers coming in contact with her soft face tickled his senses and he lingered them on her cheek for a moment before she stirred and he pulled his palm back.
Ananya had felt a gentle motion across her face and she stirred in her sleep. Kabir backed off his hand and she went back to her slumber. Snuggling more to the warmth of his, she drifted off again with a sweet unconcious, sleepy smile. Kabir chuckled at the way she snuggled close to escape the initial December cold and he pulling out the comforter slowly covered her up with it without moving his arm and shoulder even the slightest so that she is not disturbed. But he cannot deny that her coming so close also stirred something in him. He felt so happy... so good like never before. He looked at her face again and then looked out of the windows... pitch dark... it was still a few hours left to reach Goa. Kabir giving in to the desire kept his head on hers lightly and closed his eyes to welcome a beautiful sleep into his eyes. Maybe this trip was a start to explore something very special and beautiful in their relationship...

"Neha... tum mujhe bhool gaye Kabir... apni college friend ko..." She replied crossly as she folded her arms.
"Neha... Fergusson College... Pune... Two years junior to me... right?" Kabir asked as he remembered her at the moment.
"Yeah... thank god... am glad at least tumhe yaad hai ki main tumse kitni saal junior thi... maine socha bhi nahi tha ki mujhe apne boring se business trip pe itna achha surprise milega..." She replied sweetly as she extended her hand. Kabir shook her hands and then pulled her in a friendly side hug. She had been his junior during college times and he had saved her from ragging twice and then they had become best of friends during that period... so good that people had even tried to join their names but Kabir always ignored the wagging tongues...and continued with his friendship with her but work pressure and busy schedules had made them loose contact with each other. But now, meeting after years they were too happy to see each other again.
"Not my fault... tum hi toh gayab ho gayi thi... Aur ab aise achanak... but am so pleased to meet you again..." he said genuinely.
"Haan... padhai puri karne US chali gayi thi... abhi abhi India pohonchi hoon...so you stay in Delhi..." She further asked.
"Yeah... though I will be leaving for Goa for some work in a few minutes... tum yaha kaise..."
"MD of Singhania and Companies... Neha Saigal ko apni nayi Delhi branch ke inauguration ke liye toh aana hi tha... bas isliye..." She replied merrily and he grinned as he again pulled her in a bear hug to congratulate her.
"Kabir... Tinu ka phone tha... pichhle lead ke..." Ananya stopped as she saw Kabir hugging a girl with a bright smile on his face. Kabir turned around on hearing Ananya's voice as he took his hands off Neha's back. Ananya's heart burned with jealousy as she saw his arms around her and her flow of words had immediately stopped. Oh who the hell was she and why was she sticking to him like a fly stuck to jaggery... she thought. The intensity with which she felt irritated to see them, even surprised her. Though unknown, but nowadays there was something due to which she was never able to see him with anyone else...
"Are Ananya... come here... let me introduce you to my best friend from college... Neha Saigal..."
"Vahi friend jise tum bhool gaye the... par main nahi bhooki thi... bhooki bhi kaise.. har raat tumse KKN par 9 baje mulaqaat jo ho jaati thi..." Neha uttered in a movk hurt tone looking up at him cutting his words.
"Sorry na yaar...maaf kardo ab...and yeah Neha she is..." He was saying only to be interuppted again by Neha. She immediately replied, "Kabir ruko... lemme guess..." and scanning her from top to bottom she continued in her chirpy voice, "Okay... so this beauty with brains looks like... she is your girlfriend or may be your fiancee... Right Kabir???"
Ananya's eyes popped out at the statement while he quickly turned to look at her. She was looking at him wide eyed and he could see that she was feeling embarrassed to an extent too. He felt bad to put her in such a situation. And Ananya blushed pink as she lowered her eyes breaking their eyes lock. He turned back to Neha.
"Neha... bad guess... achha hua ki tum koi reporter nahi ho...varna to hi jaata news ka kaam... and secondly saamne wala ki baat toh tumhe sunni hi nahi hoti hai na... She is Ms. Ananya Kashyap, my colleague..." Kabir replied in a chilled out tone so as to lighten the atmosphere for Ananya and put her at ease. But he admits somewhere deep he couldn't help but feel glad at the way Neha had addressed them. He liked it... liked her... liked her a lot... admired her... adored her... but what more... he wasn't sure about she he loves her or not... his past and the pain of a troubled relationship with Shreya always forbade him him from exploring his feelings more... know her more... He knew that she too likes him but he doesn't knew what more... if she liked and considered him more than just a colleague or friend.
While Ananya was sure that she liked him... he was an amazing man... very caring, sweet, humble, helpful, empathetic, loving, friendly, honest, and his handsome looks and charmingly charismatic personality were a bonus on top of all the qualities he had. Sometimes she felt him interested in her but sometimes he behaved too plain... and that was where she would be confused of her feelings too. She us always thankful to the almighty that she has a quality to hide her feelings which helped her a lot to maintain good professional relation with him, or else she would have been in a total mess.
"Oh... I am so sorry Ms. Ananya... plz don't mind... by the way it's so nice to meet you..." Neha extended her hand to her. Ananya smiled slightly as she shook her hand. Neha's phone rang and she bid them a goodbye but not before taking him in a bear hug and taking his recent number along with her. Ananya moved her face side wards as if she just didn't wanted to witness the hug. Later they too taking their luggage along moved towards the runway.
Teri nazron mein hai tere sapne
Tere sapno mein hai naraazi
Mujhe lagta hai ke baatein dil ki
Hoti lafzon ki dhokebaazi
Tum saath ho ya na ho kya fark hai
Bedard thi zindagi bedard hai
Kabir took off his headphones as he sipped at the glass of juice in his hand. Ananya was browsing through a woman's magazine sitting beside him. She had gone unusually quite after the Neha incident on the airport. She was very talkative and chirpy person usually but now she was feeling very restive and Kabir's reply to Neha that she was just a colleague was making her even more fidgety and impatient. Though she had known what would he reply but still she felt irritated as if it was not something she was intending to listen...
Ananya turned to look at him... sitting on her left, he seemed relaxed looking out of the window. The air hostess had provided him his favourite apple juice some time ago and he was enjoying it. She felt a smile creeping up her cheek looking at his calm face as she felt her worries flying away with the thin air. She was smiling when Kabir turned towards her only to find her smiling to herself looking at him. He gestured her asking the reason for smiling but she didn't respond and he snapped his fingers in front of he face bringing her out of her stupor. She looked away embarrassed thinking that it was her bad day as she was behaving so stupid. Kabir smiled wide as he looked at her flushed face.
"Kya hua Ananya... kaha khoyi thi tum... Kuch hain kya mere chehre pe..." he asked with an innocent face. She blushed even more before she faced him bravely again.
"Aisa toh kuch nahi hai.. aapko aisa kyu lag raha hai..." She said pretending to concentrate on the page of the open magazine lying in her lap.
"Nahi tum mere chehre ko itne gaur se dekh rahi thi... toh maine socha... ki ya toh mere chehre pe kuch laga hua hai Jose tum dekh rahi ho... ye phir meri surat hi itni achhi hai ki tumhari nazare hi nahi hat rahi mujhse..." he again teased mercilessly. Though unwantingly, but she couldn't help stop the blush that stained her cheeks. She smiled a lop sided smile glaring at him and he just shrugged looking at her as if he doesn't know what effect his words did on her.
"Very funny... I was just..." She had started to speak sternly when she felt an arm brushing against her right arm. She turned at the distraction only to see a young boy moving pass her with a flirtatious smile. She passed in a disgusting look at his way while Kabir who had witnessed the scene clenched his fingers into a fist but drinking his anger so as not to create a scene, he stood up and asked her to do the same. She asked the reason but he insisted and she stood up. He asked her to sit on his place and he himself sat on hers. Ananya grinned wide understanding the reason behind his gesture and turned sideway to hide her smile and blush at his gesture. 'Oh so he felt bad to see someone annoying me... he is protective towards me...' she thought, her heart doing a happy jig.
The flight to Goa was mostly silent, both dealing with their feelings towards each other. Kabir was happy after he saw a current of irritation and jealousy pass through her eyes when Neha hugged him while he became more ecstatic when he saw her blush on being called as his girl. He was feeling loved, liked and belonged... as if she owned him. And the feel gave him a satisfactory smile. Kabir was still thinking about her when he felt a weight on his shoulder... he looked to see what it was and his face split into a big happy grin. Ananya's head had fallen on his shoulder unconciously in her slumber.
"Poor girl... must have been too tired..." Kabir mumbled softly as he looked at her tired face which had an unusual lovely glow. Her smile was as usual sweet and he couldn't help but say that "You are really beautiful Ananya... in and out..." Though she was asleep and must not have heard but he said what was in his heart. And other reason he has never revealed this compliment to her was because though inwardly happy, out she would only make him stop with a glare along with a stern, "Kabir sir..." thinking that he is just flirting around. He chuckled at the thought and again looked at her face. An errant tendril of hair of her loose locks was kissing her face and eyes and obstructing his view of her lovely face. He moved his hand and very gently so as not to wake her up pushed the hair behind her ear. His fingers coming in contact with her soft face tickled his senses and he lingered them on her cheek for a moment before she stirred and he pulled his palm back.
Ananya had felt a gentle motion across her face and she stirred in her sleep. Kabir backed off his hand and she went back to her slumber. Snuggling more to the warmth of his, she drifted off again with a sweet unconcious, sleepy smile. Kabir chuckled at the way she snuggled close to escape the initial December cold and he pulling out the comforter slowly covered her up with it without moving his arm and shoulder even the slightest so that she is not disturbed. But he cannot deny that her coming so close also stirred something in him. He felt so happy... so good like never before. He looked at her face again and then looked out of the windows... pitch dark... it was still a few hours left to reach Goa. Kabir giving in to the desire kept his head on hers lightly and closed his eyes to welcome a beautiful sleep into his eyes. Maybe this trip was a start to explore something very special and beautiful in their relationship...
Agar tum saath ho
Dil ye sambhal jaaye
(Agar tum saath ho)
Har gham phisal jaaye
(Agar tum saath ho)
Din ye nikal jaaye
(Agar tum saath ho)
Har gham phisal jaaye
