Part - 10
"No wifey", said Kabir, inbetween hiccups. He didn't have enough strength left for the disastrous consequences of another plan. "What-". Viraj interuppted Nisha. "I can do get Sabu for you, Miss Nisha. Anything for you. You don't need to interact with these sort of hoodlums".
Kabir clenched his fists. Miss Nisha again. If Dadu had his way, then Viraj would be right in calling Nishu that very soon. Kabir felt as if someone had tossed a burning piece of coal in his stomach. "Viraj Sir, if you feel that you are the same person who wouldn't need a reason to help someone in need then find Sabu. Find him for Kabir. Not me. If you feel you can't do it, it's still okay. I am there for Kabir. I will seek out his brother with or without assistance", said Nisha, tired of all the emotional plays.
Viraj walked over to Nisha and caught her hand. "Why are you behaving like this, Miss Nisha? Why are you pushing me away from you? I know that Kabir is leaving this month. Forever-". Nisha didn't know how long she could bear hearing those words. Yes, she knew from the beginning that Kabir would be leaving but she didn't know that her heart would be going with him. She saw Kabir move forward to break Viraj's grip on her. Nisha shook her head and as always Kabir listened to her even though what he wanted was different from what she did. How could any girl not fall for a guy like Kabir? He felt no shame in taking a back seat when the situation required so.
"I know that I have made mistakes", continued Viraj," And you know how sorry I am for them. You know how much I love you". Viraj placed his forehead on hers. "I love-". Nisha jerked back immediately. "No, Mr. Rathore! You have no right to hold me, to come near me. Not just because I am married. Also because I don't wish it", said Nisha angrily. "Miss Nish-". "I am not in love with you, Sir. I have been trying to explain this to you for days. Maybe, I once was. It doesn't matter whether I stay with Kabir", Nisha had to swallow hard before continuing,"or not. I am not getting involved with anyone. There is going to be no man in my life. Please, please understand that, Sir. We are never getting back together. No matter what. Move ahead in your life and allow love a chance to enter your life". Nisha smiled wryly. She had always believed that Kabir and she were very different from each other. That's why they fought so much. Now, she realized that maybe there was the one thing they had in common. One area in which they were both failures. She looked at Viraj who she had hurt and then at Kabir who had hurt her.
"There is no thing other than love that Nisha.. Nisha Gang-". "Kumar!", said Kabir, furiously. It was one thing for Viraj to not accept Nishu and his marriage and quite another for Nishu. "Mrs. Nisha Kabir Kumar". Nisha couldn't take in all that was happening. She was tired and fed up. She wanted all these emotional upheavals to end so that she could piece together what remained of her life and do what she could for her family's happiness. "I will find out Sabu, Mrs. Nisha", said Viraj, pain in every word. He now understood that Nisha loved Kabir and would never stand in the way of her happiness."I will bring him to.. Kabir as fast as possible". Nisha felt Viraj's pain acutely. There was nothing she could do to ease it. Time would do it. "Thank you, Viraj". Finally, Nisha felt free enough to take his name. Viraj nodded to Kabir and walked out with the man to drop him home.
Nisha followed him with her suitcase. Kabir ran outside as Nisha was adjusting the suitcase in her scooty. "Nishu, you can't go. There is something you have to know". Nisha ignored him. "Look at me, Nishu. It's very important. Nishu-". Nisha wore her helmet and started her scooty. Kabir pulled out the key. "Kabir! What's this nonsense? Give back my keys. My family is waiting for me". Nisha's words pinched him. "Am I not your family too?". "What's wrong with you today, Kabir? Why are you behaving like this. The.. The drama.. is over. You are a free bird now. I am sure you will have nice, London girls falling over you who will make you believe in love. Not tied to a wifey with a past. Have fun with them". A few tears escaped Nisha's eyes which didn't go unmissed by Kabir.
Under any other circumstance, he would have enjoyed Nishu's jealously. Not now with some big secret between them which caused Nishu such grief. "What is this past, Nishu, that eclipses your present?". Nisha shook her head."How does it matter to you? Give back my keys!". Kabir held them at a height as Nisha struggled to get it. She tripped and he caught her with one arm. He looked deep in her eyes, locking her gaze with his. "Tell me, Nishu". Nisha hadn't been able to refuse him anything. Today wasn't an exception. She tried to keep her face straight and voice steady as she stated matter-of-factly all that had happened in Pilani sports meet. She didn't want Kabir's sympathy or his pity. She hoped against hope that Kabir would not judge her for it but nearly cried out when he became still. She didn't blame him. When she couldn't forget it, couldn't forgive herself for all that had happened, then what could she expect from Kabir? Nisha retrieved the keys from a motionless Kabir and drove towards her house.
Ramesh was standing on the terrace when Nisha walked in the house, crying. He didn't know how to mend the situation. Something had to be done and soon for Nisha appeared very fragile. Dadi came to Ramesh. "Worried for Nishu?". Ramesh nodded, a bit distracted. "They are hiding something, Maa. Did you see the way Kabir didn't allow any blame to come on Nisha? If he wanted to dump her, why was he defending her? He doesn't want to get tied in relations but calls Nisha the best wife anyone could have? It was all so confusing".
"Our Nishu is no less", said Dadi, trying to make sense of it all, "She didn't once try to stop Kabir. Did you see how she stood between Sukku and Kabir? And then literally begged me to convince her Dadu to allow Kabir to leave India". Ramesh shook his head,"They both love each other, that is clear. Then, what was the need to do all this? I can't see Nisha like that", said Ramesh, breaking. Dadi consoled him,"If we start behaving like this, then what will happen of our kids? Keep courage, Ramesh. We will make them realize their mistake".
