Part 5
Running the spoon absentmindedly into her tea cup, Ananya took some time to ponder over few things from some time back.
She had woken up to the musk smell of his being. Spicy, addictive.
How can she ever forget that aura. It was so HIM.
And then, having that blazer over her sleeping form had confirmed all her instincts. But then, it was not the blazer. It was that blue handkerchief that he had started to use after all that Shreya fiasco.
and that scene ran once again by her memory.
"Rumaal badal liya?" Kabir had looked down at his pocket before looking back at her.
"Very nice...I like it" and he gave those rare one of a kind smiles.
"Thank you...Maine soocha nafrat ka rang agar laal tha tau pyaar ko blue kar detay hain". He said it meaningfully, making her smile and excited.
"Mera favorite"
"Really?? I didn't know that" (Reference: Episode 85)
and she had shake her head then. How he loved to irritate her.
Getting up, she held the blazer tightly in her grasp before she heard the faraway muffed but angry voice. The doors were not so sound proof.
It was Kabir. She heard. Her heart finally leapt with joy thinking that may be destiny had to bring them together like this.
She had gotten up and was ready to move towards the door infront but right then she had heard.
"Damn Khalid...Phir se wohi game..." and she knew it right then.
He wasn't happy with her arrival.
Broken, disappointed, miserable, she took a step back. Her lower lip quiver but she instantly bit that up with her teeth.
He will not appreciate to see her creating a scene right here nor she herself wanted to be piti-fied by someone.
"Ananya" and that's where Malvika had brought the distraction.
She had controlled up during their discussion. Malvika must have know about them. She knew it. But without making her feel guilty, she had lead her down to the canteen and throughout that, Ananya had kept a firm hold on his blazer that was now laying neatly on one of her arm.
If not him, atleast one of his things can stay with her.
Soon she was escorted to the hotel and was asked to have a proper sleep today so she can join in from tomorrow but how can she sleep. Especially now.
Here was Kabir. In such a small radius of her existence and still the difference between them looked like a million miles.
Damn, she couldn't even get one glimpse of him. One look. Even a hint of his shadow.
Nothing that could satisfy her parched soul.
"I am sorry...Please mujhe maaf kar do Kabir...I am so so sorry" She had whispered looking out into the bright sky that has brightened up as she lated curled in her bed.
She hoped that her own fate will brighten up too along with this bright day. She can do anything, can go to any lengths to get his forgiveness if that's what he want. All she want in the end is HIM.
----------------------------
It had been three days and he was successful in keeping himself hidden from Ananya's eyes.
Atleast that what he thought. They hadn't fall into eachother ways and all thanx to the CCTV cameras that had been installed in the office just a month back which keep him updated about her schedule.
Sometimes, he saw her sneaking away from her seat, moving towards his cabin that proudly state his name but one way or another, he made sure she was kept away. Sometimes, making Sophie tell her that he is not in, or busy in a conference or other times making some employee call her back with an excuse. But then, till how many days he can do this.
Here people don't know about them and he really want to keep it that way.
But just then something pop up in the screen that made his fist curled in a tight grip as his facial expressions hardened. His back straightened up and he glared at the screen.
A red haired boy,23 , who was hired as an assistant of input editor was leaning over a sitting Ananya who was rather too engrossed in the screen ahead, pretty animatedly with her hands that she couldn't feel how close that boy was against his cheek.
"What the hell..." He stood up.
Ananya was his. Only his. Dare anyone touch or even keep an eye on her.
And then he sighed frustratingly.
Does he really not want people to know about them?
----------------------------
"Khalid...Tum nay bohut bara risk liya hai Ananya ko yahan bhej k...You know Kabir ne apnay cabin se bahir ana hi chor diya hai...Early morning ata hai and I am not even sure k wo ghar b jata hai k nahi" Malvika explained the situation.
"Oh dear...Kitne din chupay ga...wo kia kehte hain...
Kab tak chupay raho gay phoolon k jhar main
Kabhi tau milogay...something something...
I bet, Kabir aise zyada dair nahi reh sakta...wo situation ko face karna janta hai...haan kuch time se out of practice hai...but Ananya k liye wo kuch b kar jaye ga...Tum tau bus beth k show enjoy karo..." Khalid hopeful words made Malvika smile.
"I hope so..."
Just then she heard Kabir's roaring voice asking Sophie to bring his coffee.
"Lagta hai aik bar phir se arrogant Kabir forum main aa raha hai...Good, main ye sukly baby Kabir ko dekh k thak gaye thi..." Malvika grinned.
"Haha...he will be back...just few days..."
"By the way, tum aa rahay ho channel launching ceremony pe?"
"I want to but I can't...Ananya nahi hai tau uska replacement jab tak nahi milta tab tak I had to help Daljeet out...beside, Sher k moun main kaun haath dalta hai...Kabir or Ananya settle ho jayein then only I can come" Khalid rolled the paper weight in his hand.
"Ok...take care" and the line cut as both conspirators signed off hoping for a fruitful end.
--------------------------
Once again, He was sleeping on his chair. This habit was becoming more frequent now as after he would lay into his plush bed at hotel, only Ananya thoughts will grab him.
Stretching his arms out, he yawned and look at the clock that was striking 9pm. He has been sleeping from an hour. Everyone must have left by now.
So getting up, he too collect his things, slipped mobile in the pocket and turned to switch off the monitor when for the second time in the day, he was strucked.
This time, it was a yearning that run through his blood than anger.
Propping up her legs on a spare chair, Ananya too was sleeping in the PCR having that same innocence on her face as ever. This was the same Ananya that had made him, this heartless man, to fall in love, believe in love.
But then, she broke that believe too. Haven't she.
He wanted to turn away, run away.
With heavy heart, he closed the screen and moved out from his cabin. Catching the elevator, he reached the ground floor when suddenly, the whole building was surrounded by darkness.
His heart thudded, but in a corner, he saw a light flickering and moved towards them as his hand reached for his mobile to switch on the torch app.
"What is happening here?" He questioned to the three men who were surrounding the main circuit board.
"We have received a report regarding some light line issue. So we thought, its easier to work in the night. A notice was spread through the building in the day and I assume, everyone must have left already." One of the three men explained.
"Oh hell...how much time this will take" He was now being worried.
"Don't know Sir...We have to check all lines...It might will take us whole night..."
"Crap..." and in the shallow light of his mobile, Kabir rushed towards the stairs to go up for Ananya...
She is nyctophobic. Too much of darkness always scares her and now waking up to one, he doesn't want to iimagine what it can do to her.
Not caring about how many stories he had to run up, he rushed through the stairs just to reach her, grabbing her in his arms and ensuring her of his presence.
