Chapter 8 
Here on the counter where drinks are being served two person were looking at 
Kaya and smiling . One has mysterious and confused expression while other has excited and knowing expression . They are none other than Malvika
 
M-Malvika chalo sharth lagate hai
 
Malvika turned towards him with confused expression 
 
Mal-kaisi shart Manav
 
M-mujhe aisa lagta hai ki in dono ke bich zaroor kuch hai 
 
Mal(are you serious expression)-oh common Manav it was just a dance, and beside this ye dono kal hi to mile hai to in dono ke bich kaise kuch ho sakta hai
 
M-oh common Malvika , tum itni intelligent hoke ye kaise assume kar sakti ho ki ye dono kal hi mile hai
 
Mal-matlab?
 
M-matlab ye ki ye dono ko mile hue takriban do mahine se zyada ho gaya hai
 
Mal(amused expression)-what , but tumhe kaise pata
 
M-arrey vo kal pandiji se baat chal rahi thi to unhone hi bataya , but you don't change the topic , to batao sharth lagaogi . Agar in dono ke bich kuch hua to main jeeta aur nahi to tum jeeti
 
Mal(excited expression)-sounds interesting , done
 
M-ok , to agar main jeeta to tum mujhse shaadi karogi
 
Malvika looked at him with wide eyes and he gave her the most innocent smile , malvika smirked and said
 
Mal-aur agar main jeeti to
 
M-to main tumse shaadi kar lunga , tumhe mujh jaisa accha insaan mil jaayega aur tumhe kya chahiye
 
Malvika slapped at his arms
 
Mal-very funny
 
Manav laughed and hugged her 
 
M-I love you
 
Mal-love you too
 
Kabir smiled seeing them still standing on the floor and Ananya seeing Kabir smiling looked at the direction where he was looking and a beautiful smile came on her lips too
 
A-dono saath mein kitne acche lagte hai na
 
K-bahut khush kismet hote hai vo log Ananya jinhe unka pyaar naseeb hota hai
 
Ananya looked at him lovingly and longingly and then said
 
A-sahi kaha aapne , mujhe to pata hi nahi ki main kabhi itni khushkismat hongi ya nahi
 
Kabir then looked at her and intently stared at her beautiful eyes and said
 
K-tumhe tumhara pyaar zaroor milega Ananya , tum ek acchi insaan ho aur saari khushiyaan deserve karti ho
 
Ananya just stared in his eyes and tears got welled up in her eyes . She asked in low sound and her throat was clogged up by emotions 
 
A-pakka na?
 
Kabir smiled at her innocent question and lovingly nodded his head . He patted on her cheek and went from there leaving Ananya behind who was staring him .
 
A(pov)-I don't know Kabir sir main aapse pyaar kati hu ya nahi , but aapke liye jo fel karti hu na vo aaj se pehle kisi ke liye nahi kiya. Let's see where it takes me , but agar aap mere pyaar ho na to main duniya ke luckiest girl hu.
 
Ananya smile widened thinking this which not got unnoticed by Manav and Malvika . Manav gave Malvika a look saying her I told you' and Malvika ws now looking little shock because she seriously had thought that Manav was just cracking a joke . But when she saw a little scene of Kabir and ananya , she can't help herself from not thinking that Manav was saying truth.
 
Here In Canteen
 
Richa was talking with one of her coulleges when Ronnie came to her and said
 
Ro-richa do minute tujhse baat karni , chal zara
 
Richa looks at Ronnie confusedly and said
 
Ri-all ok na?
 
Ro-no nothing is ok , tu chal pehle (turning towards other)excuseme
 
Ronnie take Richa to a corner and said
 
Ro-tune Ananya se aise kyu baat ki
 
Richa crossed her arms and said
 
Ri-to aur kya kehna chahiye tha mujhe
 
Ro-dekh richa main samajhta hut u kya soch rahi thi but tujhe nahi lagta ki tujhe teri concern thodi alag andaaz mein dikhani chahiye thi , jisse Ananya ko hurt na ho
 
Ri-dekh Ronnie mujhe is baat ka zaroor bura laga ki aaj Ananya ko meri baato se hurt hua , lekin is baat ki zyada khushi hogi ki vo meri baato ko samjhe kyuki baad mein agar Kabir sir ki wajah se use hurt hua to mujhe bahut zyada bura lagega
 
Ro-yaar main teri concern samajhta hu , but tujhe nahi lagta ki hume kisi bhi insaan ke liye itna judgemental nahi hona chahiye , aalkhir hum Kabir sir ko jaante hi kitna hai
 
Ri-excatly what I am saying Ronnie , hum Kabir sir ko jaante hi kitna hai jo Ananya unke liye ye sab feel kar rahi hai
 
Ro-yaar I know that ki unka past itna bhi accha nahi hai ki unpe itni aasani se bharosa kar liya jaaye , but agar hum sir pe professionally bharosa karte hai to ek baar unhe personally chance dene mein kya jaata hai
 
Richa stubbornly stared on the floor
 
Ri-yaar Ronnie anu ne itna kuch saha hai ki main use ab hurt nahi dekh sakti , ananya ke papa..
 
Ro-Richa tu ye bhul rahi hai ki Ananya ke papa ka bhi pehla bharosa Kabir sir hi the , yaha tak kuch aisi cheese jo unhone Anu aur uski family ko nahi battayi jo unhone Kabir sir ko bataayi , main jaanta hu ye sab professional baatein hai but ek insaan ka professional behaviour hi uske personal character ko darshaata hai , to kya hum ek baar unke professional behaviour ko evidence maan kar unpe personally bharosa nahi kar sakte
 
Richa looke up to Ronnie's eyes who were pleading her , she thought for sometime and then nodded her head
 
Ri(sighed)-ok , main unpe ek bharosa karne ke liye tayyar hu but sirf anu ki khushi ke liye
 
Ronnie smiled and gestured her to come with him to Ananya , Richa lightly smiled and nodded
 
Here In NewsRoom
 
Ananya , Baby , Sunny and Rohan were chatting standing near Ananya's cubicle , Ananya wa silent while Sunny was flirting with Baby , Rohan and Trisha were talking when suddenly Rohan said
 
R-Ananya ji , aap zyada tension mat lijiye , vo kya hai na Richa ji aapki bahut care karti hai isliye unhone aisa kaha 
 
A-I know Rohan , mujhe pata hai vo meri chinta karti hai but mujhe thoda to bura lagega hi na 
 
Ri-to uske l;iye main maafi to maang sakti hu na
 
Ananya and others turned and saw Richa standing there holding her ears
 
Ri-sorry yaar Anu , I think maine over react kiya
 
Ananya smiled and hugged her
 
A-tujhse kitni der naaraaz reh sakti h main
 
Richa smiled and wrapped her arms around her . All smiles seeing the beautiful scene . Kabir and Tarini also came there and smiled at the scene.They both admires their friendship
 
They both came there and Kabir said
 
K-pure office ke saamne is bharat milaap ki wajah jaan sakta hu
 
T-Kabir ye dono ladkiyaan hai
 
K-whatever Tarini , mujhe to sirf reason se matlab hai na
 
They broke the hus smiled the beautiful smile cherishing their friendship bond
 
Ri-kuch nahi sir , bus vo hum dono choti choti baat pe jhagadte hai , fir ek 
dusre ko manaane ke liye hug kar lete hai , you knoe jaadu ki jhappiπ
 
Kabir smiled and chucked , Ananya was overwhelmed finally achieving support 
from her all friends . Sunny noticed this and to lighten the mood he said
 
S-hai Richa ji , aap to kabhi Sunny ko jaadu ki jhappi nahi deti! 
 
Ri-Sunny paaji , zara soch samajhke bola karo , aapki baby ji saamne khadi hai aur aapko mujhse jaadu ki jhaapi chahiye , baby kya sochegi
 
B-par Richa main kyu kuch sochungi
 
S( in panic)-oh na Baby ji , aap to kuch sochna hi nahi , main to mazaak kar raha tha
 
B-par Sunny main kyu..
 
S-oh Baby ji maine keh diya na tussi nahi sochege , matlab nahi sochege , app aayo main aapko soft drink pilaata hu 
 
And he held her hand and went away from there . As he gone out of sight all of them burst into laughing including Tarini , Kabir , Manav , malvika , Khalid and Pandit ji.
 
"Koi joke crack hua kya"
 
They all heard the voice , all turned towards it and found Virat standing there 
 Ananya and her whole gang smiled seeing him.
 
While Tarini , Manav and Malvika got confused seeing him . Virat smiled and walk towards them
 
Kabir extended his hand and Virat gladly accepted it
 
K-hey Virat nice to see you hear
 
V-pleasure is all mine
 
K-vaise aap yaha kaise
 
V-nahi bas vo thoda zyada time ho gaya to ma aunty chinta karne lag gayi and maine socha itni raat ko dono akele kaise aayengi isliye in dono ko pick karne chala aaya
 
K-ha lekin aapko itni raat ko aane ki kya zaroorat thi main chod deta Ananya aur Trisha ko sahi salaamat ghar pe
 
V-ha vo to mujhe pata hai ki aap hamesha meri behen ko sahi salaamat rakhenge
 
Kabir got confused hearing this while whole gang looked at him wide eyed , but seeing him winking at them they all chuckled silently while Ananya glared at him.
 
K-kya matlab
 
V-matlab kuch nahi , and mujhe lagta hai yaha mujhe firse apne intro dena padega( looking towards Tarini , Manav , Malvika and Khalid) . So hello , I am Captain Virat Rajput , brother of Ananya and Trisha.
 
Tarini just lowered her head and closed her eyes as she felt her heartbeat suddenly raise seeing him.She quickly shook her head removing this feeling from her head . Virat saw her and smiled at her . 
 
"She looks beautiful in Indian wear"Virat thought and walked towards her .
 
He stands up in front of her and says
 
V-aap hamesha India wear's hi pehenti hai
 
Tarini looked up at him and slowly nodded her head
 
V-no doubt aap itni khubsurat lagti hai
 
Tarini got surprised hearing a completent fro him , Pandiji nad Khalid got amused while Ananya and her whole gang stre at them as if trying to register that their Virat Bhaiya just complemented on someone's beauty.
 
Virat suddenly got interested in talking with her
 
V-May I know your name please 
 
T-uh um Tarini
 
V-wow , beautiful name just like you
 
Tarini went red with shyness while Ananya and her friends looking at Virat in 
shock . Kabir was also shocked seeing Virat flirting with Tarini
 
V-to aap kya karti hai
 
T-um vo main Kabir ki stringer hu
 
V-oh great main Indian Army mein captain hu , hum dono ki Jodi khub jamegi
 
Tarini and Kabir looked at him wide eyed while Ananya and her gang started enjoying the scene , this was very much fun for them as Virat was always strict not interested in girls type man , but today seeing him flirting with someone felt so nice
 
V(in panic)-I mean hum dono ek dusre ke saath acche lagenge
 
Tarini and Kabir eyes became as big as saucer while Virat cursed himself for saying directly her his heart content directly
 
V(stammers)-I mean hum...hum..hum ( he has no appropriate words now to 
cover up when he heard a chorus )
 
Hum bane , tum bane 
 Ek duje ke liye
 Hum bane , tum bane
 Ek duje ke liye
 
Virat glared at her bro and sis gang , while Tarini and Kabir looked towards them in shock . Pandiji was also in shock and they started laughing madly seeing everyone face
 
A-oh god ye to chamatkar ho gaya
 
Ri-seriously Virat bhaiya and flirting, omg
 
T-I am still not believing this
 
And they again started laughing . Virat now blushed and Tarini got flustered while Kabir and Pandiji were in state of shock
 
Ananya got shocked seeing Virat blushing and then with a naughty smile said
 
A-Trisha , lagta hai ghar pe bhabhi ko laane ka wakt ho gaya
 
T-mujhe bhi bilkul yahi lagta hai (controlling her laugh)
 
Ri-same here
 
Virat cleared his throat feeling the situation is becoming more then awkward and then with a strict voice
 
V-ab tum dono ghar chal rahe ho ya nahi , jaldi aao I am waiting outside
 
And he left from there , as he left Ananya and her friends burst out laughing loudly while others including Kabir and tarini shook their head smilingly at this crazy gang .
 
Next Day 
 
At KKN
 
In Kabir's Cabin
 
K-so Manav bhai ky socha hai , is story ko kaun follow karega
 
M-kabir sahb mere khyaal se hume ye case kisi inexperienced kisi fresh reporter ko dena chahiye coz agar koi experienced reporter hua to uske pehchaane jaane ke chances zyada which which will be danger for him or her and us also
 
Kabir sighed and then said
 
K-hmm Manav bhai aapko nahi lagta ki ek fresh reporter ko ye case follow up karne dena thoda risky hoga , I mean its very crucial as well as dangerous case
 
M-I know Kabir sahab , but we have no other option 
 
As Kabir was thinking about this for long time so manav finally said
 
M-kabir sahab maine soch liya hai ki kise ye case dena hai
 
Kabir looked at Manav and then nooded his head telling him to continue
 
M-maine socha hai ki Ananya ko ye case handle karna chahiye
 
Kabir got shocked hearing this
 
K-manav bhai ye aap kya keh rahe hai , vo ek intern do din pehle reporter bani hai , main manta hu hume fresh reporter chahiye lekin itne bhi nahi , I mean we cannot risk her life
 
M-main samajh raha hu aapki baat Kabir sahab but Miss Ananya Kashyap ek mamuli reporter nahi hai , she has a spark in her jo unhe dusro se alag karta hai , maine jab unhe is case ke baare mein bataya to unki aankhon mein dar nahi balki junoon dekha , lisi lakshya ko pane ka junoon , aur isliye mujhe Ananya Kashyap is case ko handle karne ke liye best lagi , but as it is very crucial matter so without business head consent we cannot take any decision , so now the ball is in your court , ab aap decide kijiye kya karna hai
 
And Manav left from there leaving a thoughtful and worried Kabir behind
 
At NewsRoom
 
A peon came to Ananya's cubicle and said
 
P-Ananya mam aapko Kabir sir ne bulaya hai
 
A-mujhe , accha thik hai main jaati hu
 
At Kabir Cabin
 
Kabir was seating on his chair lost in deep thought when he heard a knock on door 
 
Kabir sighed and said
 
K-Come in Ananya
 
Ananya came and sat on the chair
 
K-so tum us case ko follow karne ke liye ready
 
Ananya smiled excitedly and determinedly . Kabir smiled seeing her determination and then said
 
K-Ananya main tumhe darana ya discourage nahi karna chahta but please be more and more careful because this case is not so easy , its a very crucial case in which some big rankers officers are also involved.
 
A-I understand sir , main apna pura dhyaan rakhungi
 
Kabir smiled and started staring at her intently , Ananya blushes at her gaze and gets up to leave from there but as she reached door she heard Kabir's voice stopping her . She looked at him and her heartbeat quickly raised up as she saw him walking towards her still staring at her intently . 
 
He came in front of her and suddenly hugged her wrapping his both arm around her protectively . Ananya was more then shocked by this sudden action of him but to enjoy his warmth she also leaned her head on his chest , Kabir gripped tighten and he whispered in her ear
 
K-please take care of yourself 
 
And then he slowly extracted her from his arms and said
 
K-good luck
 
As he turned back Ananya lips curved into full blown smile
 
A(pov)-feel to aap bhi mere liye karte hai sir.
 
And she went out happily from there.
