Chapter 1:Kabir looked up from the file he was reading...hearing a knock on the door...
He asked the person to come in without looking up...
Ananya walked inside & stood before his desk...
Kabir looked up to see his Miss Kashyap...now Mrs Kabir Sharma in front of him...
K: please have seat miss Kashyap...
Ananya's eyes were continuously shedding tears...
K: here...
Kabir handed her his handkerchief...which she took with her trembling henna decked hands...
A: ji...v..vo main...aaj...
K: I know...aap kya kehna chahti hai...aaj jo hua...
A: I..I..don't expect u to accept me sir..m..main aap..par bojh nahi...bansakti...
She said in a quivering voice...and took out her mangalsutra from her trouser pocket & extended it towards him...
He knew that it was not her mistake...neither his so he could punish her alone...the society with their primitive ways would make her family & her life living hell...
He took it from her & got up from his orange rotating seat and walked towards her...kneeling down behind her...he tied it round her neck...
Rotating her chair towards him he extended a hand towards her face and tucked away the strand of hair...covering the sindoor in her hair parting that he'd filled...
A: yeh...
She started with shocked eyes but he put his finger on her lips...
K: shhh...mujhe zyaada sawaal pasand nahi hai...
With that he grabbed her wrist...taking her out...
Khalid was the first one to see them & was shocked...
But Kabir was least bothered to explain & he took his bride away before the stunned KKN staff...
K: guide me to your house please...
He told her sternly...
A: j..ji...
She did & soon they reacged her house...
That day...Anita & Armaan both were in Chennai for Armaan's hostel arrangement...
K: miss Kashyap...aapka a
saara saamaan...jiski aapko zarurat padegi...please pack it now...we're getting late!
He told her in his usual voice...
Ananya nodded & packed all her stuff & came out...
Kabir proceeded to pick her bags up but she intercepted him...
A: s..sir..main...
Kabir simply ignored her & lifted her bags...putting them away in the car...
The two then drove away...
Ananya looked at the huge tower in front of her...
The most luxurious she'd seen...
Kabir pressed the 30 floor button yhat us the topmost floor as soon as they entered the elevator...
The reached the 30 floor...it was a private one... with a penthouse that belonged to Kabir...
Kabir unlocked the door to reveal his plush penthouse apartment...
K: miss Kashyap...
He called...seeing her still at the door...
A: j..ji?
K: come in...
He told her softly...
Ananya nodded hesitantly & entered the house...her dreams of a romantic wedding...gruhpravesh but it was no use...it was shattered...
Kabir walked towards a room & placed her lugagge inside...
K: u can freshen up...I'll order something for us...
A: j..ji...main..bana doon?
K: aap?
He questioned & she innocently nodded...
He didn't know how to cook & hus cook wasn't there...or else he preferred home cooked food only...
Kabir gave her a curt nod...
K: kitchen is straight & second left...
Ananya nodded & left to cook for her husband...
Entering the kitchen...she saw the most posh kitchen with the nost modern appliances...all tidy...
Thinking what she could make quickly she thought of daal chawal...and quickly put daal & rice to boil...while she readied the tadka...
Emptying the tadka on the daal in the serving bowl...she put both bowls in a tray & took them out...
Kabir was at the dinning table...speaking to his stringer while Ananya served him...
He ate a spoonful...loving its taste...but didn't say anything yet...
They ate in silence except Kabir speaking to Lakshman...
K: miss Kashyap...
He held her hand as she started clearing the dishes...
A: ji???
K: I'll do that...
A: nahi...main mehmaan...thodi hoon...
She told him...smiling sadly...
He again called her while they washed the dishes...
A: ji sir?
K: aap khaana bohot achcha banaati hai...
He told her with hus usual look...
Ananya blushed a bit...which he noticed yet didn't react...
A: th..thank you...
He just nodded & left to change...
Changing into a cotton kurta & salwar..she came out...
Kabir too was in a casual grey T-shirt & black track pants...lying on his bed..no...THEIR bed...when he heard the washroom door click open...
Ananya came out in her casual wear...leaving Kabir totally mesmerised of her innocent beauty...how could she look so divine in just a simple salwar kameez...
He shook his head at the thought & looked away...
He saw her as she sat down besides him...her face full of sadness...her eyes telling that she had cried more...
A little while later...
Kabir was preparing to sleep when he noticed Ananya picking up a pillow and a matress trying to spread in on the floor...
K: miss Kashyap...yeh aap kya kar rahi hai?
He asked her confused...
A: ji...vo..main neeche...
K: aap bed par so sakti hai...
A: ji..par aap?
She asked hesitantly...
K: hum ab pati-patni hai...so on the bed...
He told her...pulling the blanket over him...
She saw her take reluctant steps towards the huge king sized bed & lie down...pulling the blanket over her...the same one...
Kabir turned to the other side unable to see her saddened look...
Quite sometime later...he turned towards her to find her asleep...her chest heaving a bit...she was hiccuping a bit due to her sobs evenn her sleep...
He propped on his elbow staring at his wife's angelic face...now tear stained...
He gently wiped off her tears without waking her up...
He saw the bedside lamp besides her...still glowing & leaned over her to switch it off...
He could feel her warm breath on his face...her serene beauty captivated him totally...
But he looked away...guiltily...as if he had no right & again turned against her & fell asleep...
