Chapter 17:
Ananya watched as Rohan, Ronnie & Sunny lifted her still unconscious husband & took him to one of the nap rooms...
Laying Kabir down on the bed, they moved aside to let Ananya next to him...
Ananya gently helped him out of his blazer & pulled the comforter over him...
Absent mindedly, she stroked his cheek...deeply worried...
A few minutes later, Khalid rushed in with the doctor...
Kh: I thought it will be better if I personally got a doctor...
He informed...
Ananya smiled greatfully at him...shoeing him just how much thankful she was...
The doctor moved to the other side of the bed & began to examine Kabir...
The others waited with a baited breath...
Ro: ye sab hua kaise?
Ronnie wondered...
Roh: Ronnie bhai, hum kuch files lekar conference room mein gaye the...Kabir sir waha apna sar aur pet pakadkar khade the aur phir achaanak se gir pade...
Ri: I hope he's okay...pehle toh sir ko kabhi thoda bhi bimaar nahi dekha...
Richa said...genuinely concerned about her senior cum best friend's husband, ...
Dr: its a clear case of food poisoning...
He informed...
Ananya gasped...
A: food poisoning? Lekin Kabir toh aisa kuch nahi khaate! Infact dinbhar salad hi khaate hai...
Dr: I'm sure, par maybe aaj ya kal mein inhone kuch galat khaa liya ho...it really didn't go well with his system...I'm sure he must have thrown up quite a bit...
Bohot weak hogaye hai ye...he can barely open his eyes...
Ananya felt tears gather in her eyes...
A: l..lekin..Kabir ne toh aaj...
She stopped short...
It all came rushing back to her...
Kabir smiling a bit too sweetly to be real, praising her food & offering no expert teasing comments that were his signature ones...
Morover not letting her taste the food & eating more than the breakfast he'd normally have in 3 days...
Her lower lip quievered & tears poured down her cheeks...
It was her fault! HER fault!
It was her fault that Kabir was sick...so sick!
She saw his handsome face all pale...distress was clearly visible on his chiselled features...
Her hand in his, trembled...as did her body due to sobs...
Richa came rushing to comfort her, so did Trisha & the others...
Roh: Ananya ji...aap roiyye mat Kabir sir theek hojaayenge...
Rohan assured with a smile...
Ro: arrey haan...relax yaar...chal shaant ho ja...
Ronnie hugged her...
Just then, Kabir's fingers lightly enclosed around her hand & instantly Ananya was near him...
Kabir groaned a bit...clutching his temple...
Sensing his trouble, Ananya had the lights dimmed & Kabir finally opened his eyes...
He looked confused...finding himself laying in a soft bed instead of sitting in the conference room chair...
K: Ananya...main kaha...
He began...
A: shhh...
But Ananya shushed him immediately...
Inspite of his weakened state, Kabir shuddered due to his wife's soft finger pressed against his lips...
A: kuch nahi kahenge aap...
The sweet melody of her voice soothed his pounding head, a great deal...
Climbing over the bed, she cradled the side of his face against her stomach...
A: just relax...
She cooed to him...pressing her lips to his curls...
One hand intertwined with his, her free hand stroked his hair...buried in the deep sea of his locks...
All Kabir could do was close his eyes in bliss...
K: agar swarg hai...toh yahi hai...Ananya ko bahon mein...
He thought to himself...
Malvika wasn't quite pleased obviously with their closeness...but there wasn't much shecould do...
Dr: uhm...excuse me! Mujhe inhe ek injection dena hai!
Snapping of her her reverie, Ananya tried to move away from Kabir but he held onto her hand for dear life..paling even more at the sight of the needle...
Ananya saw Kabir gulp & she continued to stroke his hair to calm him down...
She saw him scrunch his eyes & let out a slight hiss as the doctor expertly punctured his skin with the needle...realising the medicine into his bloodstream...
Mal: Kabir..hope you're ok baby?
Malvika cooed...placing a manicured hand on his chest...trailing it downwards...
Kabir & Ananya both gave her disgusted looks but she didn't seem to notice or care...
Dr: excuse me...mujhe ek aur injection lagaana hai inhe...
Kh: toh lagaiyye na! Just make my Editor-in-cheif good as new again!
Khalid urged & Kabir shot him a look...weaker thsn he would have normally...but still sufficiently dangerous...
Dr: sir uske liye..aap sab bahar jaiyye please...sirf inki wife yaha reh sakti hai...
Malvika was not too pleased by this...especially when Ananya could stay near Kabir & she couldn't even though Kabir belonged to HER!
Mal: we won't disturb u...bahar jaane ki kya zaroorat hai...
She argued...
The doctor looked displeased...
Dr: zaroorat hai ma'am...patient ko privacy ki zaroorat hai...
Mal: par hum sab toh uske apne hi hai...
Malvika was adamant...
Others had left by now...shaking their heads at Malvika...
Only Khalid waited...& Malvika of course!
Dr: Ma'am! Please!!!! He needs to be undressed!
The doctor hissed...trying his best to control his temper...
Khalid turned an uneasy red...
Kh: uh..oh...MALVIKA!
He boomed in a tone which left no room for argument & with a huff Malvika had to leave...
Ananya shook her head in disgust & smiled apologetically at the doctor...who smiled back..
Dr: excuse me ma'am...uh...can u unbutton his jeans please!
He requested & Ananya saw her husband's eyes snap open...
K: j..j..je..jea.jean...kyu?
Kabir stuttered horribly...a bit too much returning to his face...turning it deep red...
Dr: sir, aapko injection dena hai...
The doctor answered monotonously...
Ananya gulped & extended a trembling hand towards Kabir's belt...
When she had removed his somehow & was advancing towards his jean's buckle...she saw him trembling...
She wished she look away as unbuckled & unzipped his jeans...but no such luck...
Dr: ab...thoda neeche kheechiye please...
Ananya's head whipped up towards her visibly mortified husband...
A: j..j..ji...
Bunching his boxer's waist band & that of the jeans respectively...she pulled it bit by bit...torturously slow..
The doctor asked her to stop on teaching the area just below where the back met the hips...extreme upper hip to be precise...
Ananya caught sight of the pale toned flesh & gasped loudly before looking away instantly...her cheeks flaming red...she wanted to erase these minutes from the calendar & their memories forever...
Kabir meanwhile was red like never before...all he wanted to was hide underground as he died of shame...
The doctor gave them funny looks wondering why they were so shy...
Kabir grabbed Ananya's hand as the needle pricked his flesh...
It hurt a bit less compared to the injection on the hand though due to presence of more fat...bhut he hissed in slight pain nevertheless...
The doctor called the others in & said...
Dr: All done! Mr & Mrs Sharma! Mrs Sharma, Mr Sharma ab behtar hai...I'm prescribing some painkillers for his cramps...give him lots of fluids & NO salads for now please!!!! Kyunki inka system isswaqt kachchi sabziyaan seh nahi paayega...just soups & juices thats it!!!
Kh: Thank you doctor...I'll escort u out & we'll take care of your fees...
Khalid said...taking out his wallet..but Ananya stopped him & handed the doctor money from her purse...
A: thank you doctor...
Kh: Ananya darling...
A: no Khalid sir...please..
Ananya said politely & Khalid nodded in understanding...
Turning to Kabir, Ananya smiled sweetly & he returned her smile...
A: Kabir, haath dijiye na...
She requested...
Kabir smiled & extended his hand towards her...
Ananya smiled even more sweetly & took out a colourful marker from her bag & drew a cute star on the back of his palm...
Kabir stared at the design drawn on his skin in horror...
Everyone burst out laughing but went dead silent with one deadly glare from their Editor-in-cheif...
K: ye kya hai???
Kabir demanded from his wife & Ananya merely shrugged...
A: aapne ekdum good boy ki tarah injection lagwa liya...ab uss haalat mein aapko lollipop toh de nahi sakti...toh socha star de doon!
Everyone burst out laughing again & Kabir glared at his wife...
But Ananya smiled innocently & kissed his cheek...
A: get well soon...
She told her now blushing husband...she found it rather cute & amusing that her husband, the Kabir Sharma! A heartthrob! A man who could make any girl go weak in her knees with a simple smile, blushed when she kissed him...meaning that she obviously affected him...
Manav clenched his fist when Ananya kissed Kabir's other cheek as well...enhancing his blush even more...
M: no no baby! Use mat chuo...tumhaare sundar honth sirf mere liye liye bane hai...
He whispered...
All of a sudden, Ananya saw Kabir turn green...one hand clutched his stomach...
All of a sudden, as bile rose dangerously high in his throat, Kabir slapped a hand over his mouth & bolted out of bed to the bathroom...with an extremely worried Ananya close on his heels...
Ananya rubbed his back soothingly as he emptied the contents of his stomach into the toilet...
By the time was done, he was breathless...
He almost sighed in pleasure when a cold washcloth was pressed against his clamy forehead & thep0n then used to clean his mouth...
Kabir lowered his lashes...looking like a lost puppy...embarrassed that Ananya had seen him so vulnerable...
But Ananya smiled warmly & cupped his face & planted a heartwarming kiss on his forehead...& hugged his close...
Not caring that they sqatting down besides the toilet, Kabir wrapped his arms around his beautiful wife...
He broke the hug hearing soft sobs...
He was horrified to find Ananya sobbing...
K: Ananya!
He cupped her cheek lovingly & stroked it tenderly...
A: Kabir ( sob) m..meri vajah se ( sob) aapki..aapki..( sob) ye haalat...( sob, sob,sob...sob)
Kabir gently wiped away her tears...
K: Ananya...hey! Shhh! Paagal ho kya? Arrey its not your fault! shaant hojao...I'm fine now..hmm?
He cooed lovingly to her...
Ananya only let out another sob & Kabir sighed...
He hated to see tears in those beautiful eyes...
He lead her back into the room where everyone looked worriedly at the crying Ananya...
T: Anu...kya hua tujhe?
Trisha asked concernedly...
S: oye maata! Tussi na ro! Kabir sir theek hojaayenge! Babaji haina!
Sunny added...
Kh: Ananya darling! C'mon! Hey! Don't cry!!! Kabir is fine now!!!
Khalid soothed & Kabir nodded in agreement...
Ro: Ananya! C'mon yaar! Shaant hoja! Sab theek hai...
T: Anu! Pleasee! Dekh tu aur royegi toh..m..main...designer kapde pehenna chod dungi!!!
Trisha declared...
Roh: maan jaiyye na Ananya ji! Trisha ji iss janam mein aisa nahi kar paayengi!
Rohan said jokingly & Trisha mock glared at him...
Malvika merely rolled her eyes...& so did Richa...
She didn't trust Kabir Sharma one bit...firstly he had snatched Ananya away from Ronnie who truly loved her & moreover, she didn't trust him with his Ananya...knowing his reputation in the world well...
M: na na meri jaan! Rona nahi! Tumhaare asoon nahi dekh paata main...Kabir Sharma tune meri jaan ko rulaakar achcha nahi kiya!
Manav hissed under his breath...
M: hey partner! Cheer up!
He added with a smile...
Kh: par Kabir...hua kya tha? I've seen u ill...let alone so unwell...
Khalid asked concerned...
A: v..vo..m..maine...aaj subah...pehli baar...zindagi mein khaana banaya tha...Kabir ke liye...unhe dekhkar mujhe laga ki kuch gadbad hai khaane mein par Kabir ne mana kardiya...unhone mere khaane ki bohot taareef ki...aur vo ganda hone ke bawajood mera dil na toote isliye...p...poora ( sob sob) khaa liya...m..mujhe chakhne tak nahi diya!
Ananya was still sobbing badly & Kabir opened his arms for & she rushed into them...sobbing bitterly into his chest...
Kabir felt his heart break as he cooed sweet nothings to her..caressed her hair & placed occasional kisses on them...rubbing her back soothingly...
She kept mumbling how sorry she was & Kabir kept hushing her ever so lovingly...trying his best to explain to her that she had meant well...
K: Ananya, listen to me...tumne subah jo banaya tha that was the best food I've ever tasted...main vo roz khaane ke liye taiyyar hoon...jaanti ho kyu?
Kyunki usnein tumhaara pyaar tha...tumne subah jaldi uthkar vo sab sirf mere liye kiya tha...aur ye mere liye bohot badi baat hai Ananya...bohot badi baat...
Bhale hi tumne omelette mein eggshells bhi daal diye aur orange juice mein shakkar ki jagah namak daal diya...but the love & effort u put in was what made it the most delicious thing ever...
Agar tum mere liye itna kar sakti ho...toh main kyu nahi?
Everyone looked at Kabir with admiration...
No one knew that their Editor-in-cheif was such a pure hearted person & the most loving & caring husband ever...
T: aaawww! How sweet!!! Tere khaatir kitna kuch karsakte hai sir!
S:oye haan Ananya! Tu bohot lucky hai...
Her friends praised...
But Malvika was completely mad...
Mal: God!!!! Ananya that is Pathetic just like you! Tumhaari vajah se dekho kya hogaya!!!! Khaana banana aata nahi toh koshish kyu karni thi tumhe!!! Look what YOUR stupidity cost Kabir! Kabir ko kuch hojaata toh? Vo mar jaata tumhaara zehreela khaana khaakar toh!!!!
She spat venomously...
Ananya's sobs grew louder & Kabir gave Malvika the dirtiest look he could manage then...
Everyone else too looked equally unhappy...
Hearing her words...especially her last sentence caused Ananya to break down completely in hysterical sobs...
Kabir scrunched his eyes as her hysterical painful sobs tore through his heart...
Shaking with bone wracking sobs, Ananya rushed out of the room causing Kabir to call after her...
K: Ananya!!! Ruko!!!!!
He shouted after her & jumped out of bed only to clutch his head & fall down again...
All: KABIRRR / SIRRR!!!
Kabir held up a shaky hand...signifying he was okay while his other hand nursed his aching temple...
Instantly, Khalid & the other men were pushing him back onto bed..
Kh: kya kar rahe ho Kabir???!!!! You aren't well...aur itne jhatke se hiloge toh chakkar aayegi hi na...
Khalid admonished...
K: I don't care Khalid! Leave me! Mujhe Ananya ke pass jaana hai! I don't care if I faint or die...
Kabir spat out...desperately trying to ignore his spinning head & gurgling stomach...
He had lost most of his electrolytes & food & was hence extremely weak...
Grabbing his phone he tried calling her...
The ringtone of her phone was nearing the room, until Kabir saw tear faced Ananya enter the room with Anita...
He sighed in relief seeing that she was ok...
But he felt crestfallen seeing her beautiful face blotched with tears & red puffiness...due to all the cry...
K: arrey...maa!
Kabur again tried to scramble out of bed to greet his mother in law when Anita rushed to stop him...
An: arrey nahi! Kya kar rahe ho Kabir beta? Aaraam se! Tum lete raho!
She ordered lovingly in a motherly voice...
An: ab bolo...main tumhaara kya karu? Hmm?
She asked sternly yet lovingly...
Kabir almost pouted seeing the strict expression on the woman's face who was like his mother...no was his mother...
He smiled sheepishly...
A: maar diya jaaye ya chod diya jaaye? Boliye! Aapke saath kya suloop kiya jaaye??!!!
Ananya demanded...
Kabir's eyes darted from one Kashyap to another...even though one of them was now a Sharma...
S: Ronnie bhai! Bure phase sirji! Nahi...matlab...mere tayaji kehte hai ki insaan kuch bhi kare...par biwi aur saas ko naraaz na kare...aur inhone toh kardiya...vo bhi ek saath...
He said concernedly...
Ro: haan bhai...Kabir sir ko toh iss maamle mein baithe bithaaye bumper offer mil gaya!
Ronnie added...
S: aur nahi toh kya! Aur apni Ananya khud chaubal ( 4 times) bumper offer se bhi zyaada hai! Main na kehta tha...iska husband bura phasega aur pitega bhi ji!
Ronnie & Sunny silently chuckled at this...
Kh: oh..uh..oh...this is just so touching! Kabir I didn't know you were such a sweet husband!
Khalid cooed & Kabir grimaced at his tone..
K: Uh...I..am not Sweet!
Kabir argued sternly...wanting to maintain his no nonsense strict attitude...
Ananya rolled her eyes though...
A: yes you are!
She exclaimed & another soft kiss was pressed to Kabir's flaming cheeks which only deepened...
A: my sweetie pie! My honeypunch...my sugar pie my buttercup!
Ananya squealed...& Kabir grimaced at his cheesy new petnames while others took the liberty to chuckle...
Kh: Sweetie pie huh? Not bad!
Khalid teased...
K: Khalid shut up aur jo bhi hasa uski naukri jaayegi!
Kabir declared angrily & everyone gulped...
A: okayyy! Vo kya haina mere pati bohot bade Editor-in-cheif hai! He's rich! Nikaal dijiye naukri...mujhe kya...unka credit card toh vaise bhi meri purse mein abtak pada hai! Blackmail karne mein bohot kaam aata hai!
Ananya grinned naughtily...
Kabir groaned in frustration & buried his face in the pillow...making it impossible for others to not laugh...
An: I'm really confused...main garv karu ki meri ko itna achcha jeewan saathi mila hai...jiske liye uski khushi har cheez se pehle aati hai...jiske liye vo kuch bhi karsakta hai phir chahe use kitni bhi takleef ho...par uski aankho mein asoon nahi dekh sakta...
Ya phir...( lightly slapping Kabir's cheek) apne iss bete ki harkato par naaraaz hojau...Kabir beta, I know tumne ye Ananya ke liye kiya...par tumhe kuch hojaata toh? Hmm?
She asked...gently stroking his face...
As much Kabir was delighted to find a mother in her...he hated to have saddened her...
He had craved for motherly love all his life...sure he had his dada & bhaabhi but the void in his heart couldn't be filled...
K: sorry maa...
Kabir lowered his lashes sadly...looking like the cutest & saddest lost puppy ever...
Anita hugged him...
She had come to love Kabir as her elder son...not because of what he had done for her husband & family but because of his good nature...because of how much Sudhir trusted him...for Sudhir too...Kabir was more like a son, than a journalist helping him...
She could see how happy he made Ananya..how her face always lit up when Kabir was around...
She had seen pure undaunted love for her daughter in his eyes...what more could a mother possibly want?
A: Maa Beta saath toh Ananya ki kon kare baat!
Anita chuckled at her pouting daughter & opened her other arm for her to join the hug...
An: Kabir...beta ab kuch din tum aur Ananya mere saath ghar chalo...tumhe dekh bhaal ki zaroorat hai...soup aur light khaana banakar dene waala Ananya ke alaava waha koi nahi hai na...
She informed...
Kabir's eyes widened at the mention of Ananya's food & he gulped...
K: lekin...maa...I don't want to bother you...
Kabir said nervously...
Anita opened her mouth to argue but Ananya cut her off..
A: bilkul nahi Kabir! Aap kuch din chalkar rahenge maa aur Armaan ke saath! I'll be there too...plus maa ne nursing ka course kiya hai...mere aur Armaan ki parvarish ke chakkar mein kabhi pursue nahi kar paayi...
Achcha hai na...unhe toh baithe bithaaye ekdum mast naya bakra milgaya hai...test karne ke liye!
Ananya grinned wickedly...
Anita chuckled seeing her son-in-law's horrified face...
An: arrey nahi beta! Ananya toh mazaak kar rahi hai! I'm a certified nurse...don't worry...
She smiled & Kabir sighed & glared at Ananya...
A: toh chalein?
Ananya asked Kabir & he nodded...
Gently, the two ladies helped him up & got him off the bed...
Rohan opened the door for them...
Manav watched...turning green with envy as Ananya placed Kabir's arm around her neck, while Anita supported from the other side...
He hated to see Ananya & Kabir so close...
*******
Kashyap House:
Ananya gently helped Kabir onto the bed in her maiden bedroom...
Kabir took a look at all the pink & floral finery & chuckled...
Ananya puffed her cheeks up at this...
He raised an amused eyebrow seeing a big baby pink teddy bear sitting besides him...
A:oh! Maine toh introduction hi nahi karaya...Kabir Pinky , Pinky Kabir...
Kabir quirked an eyebrow at Ananya...
K: achcha toh yahi hai vo...jiski kami mujhe zabardasti poori karni padti hai...
A: haan aur aapko bata doon ki aap Pinky se kai zyaada achche hai...I mean you're so warm...so comfortable...
She beamed...
Kabir gave a shy smile & Ananya pulled his cheeks...
A: chaliye...ab aap so jaiyye...main davaai deti hoon aur phir aaram kar lijiye aap...
She said...
She brought out the prescribed tablet, popping it in Kabir's mouth...and then made him swallow it with water...
Carefully easing him back in bed, Ananya covered him with her floral print comforter...stroking his hair lovingly...
A: You're the best husband ever Kabir!!! I'm so lucky to have you...
She whispered...thinking Kabir was fast asleep due to the sedative in the medicine...
With a smile she kissed his cheek followed by his forehead & stroked his hair for bit before leaving him to rest...silently closing the door shut behind her...
Meanwhile, unknown to her...a wide smile made its way onto Kabir's cheek & he brought his hand to where her lips had touched his skin...
K: tum mujhse zyaada achchi ho...
He whispered...admiring the wedding ring on his finger...
The best gift of his life...from someobe so very special...
With this thought, he closed his eyes again & soon fell asleep deeply...
******
Evening:
Ananya entered her bedroom, holding a tray with the soup,Anita had prepared for Kabir...
But to her surprise, Kabir wasn't in the room...
However, the sheets were neatly arranged as if the bed had been unused...not surprising at all if she knew her husband's extra neat ways...
She heard noises from the bathroom & realised Kabir was inside...
Wondering if he was sick again, Ananya knocked on the door...
A: Kabir? Aap theek toh haina?
She called worriedly & sighed in donewhat relief when she heard a grunt...
The door opened & Kabir almost fell into Ananya's arms...
Ananya lead him back to bed & this time placed his head in her lap...
A: soup baad mein pee lijiyega...abhi relax kijiye...
Kabir nodded in agreement...letting himself relax in her presence...
As his wife's soothing fingers threaded through his dark locks, Kabir felt at ease...
Ananya's touch brought him peace...brought him eternal relaxation...as if he had attained nirvana...
Ananya caressed his face & when her hand reached his jawline, he caught it...placing small, sweet kisses on her palm...
Ananya blushed like a rose at dawn...
His intense, dark eyes darted up to meet her innocent hazel ones...the look he was giving her was smouldering...filled with passion...
Ananya shyly averted her gaze...her cheeks growing redder with each passing moment...
Kabir's lips quirked up in his signature smirk before he closed his eye...drifting off to sleep yet again..which was quite easy owing to his heavy medication..only to see Ananya in his dreams...
******
He could hear her mesmerising, musical , sweet giggles...he could see those pinky pouty lips & feel them against his skin...
He could see innocent, hazel doe shaped eyes glance at him shyly with all the innocennce in the world...
He could feel those silky, golden-brown curls sprawled out over his chest...he could inhale their fruity fragrance...
" Kabir!!!!"
He heard his dream girl call out...
He could see her...his life...his love...his wife...his Ananya smiling at him!!!!
Kabir's eyes snapped open...
What exactly did he see?
He had just gotten slightly sick & had closed his eyes for a bit to rest when he was clogged with the images of the beauty who was all over his mind...the beauty that Kabir Sharma was smitten by...the beauty was his wife!
Kabir was taken aback at this...
Sure, Ananya always attracted him...due to her talent...due to her intelligence...due to her phenomenal reorting skills...due to her beauty...due to that baby pout...due to...everything!
Everything about her was so special...so unique...
K: kya kar rahi ho tum mere saath Ms Kashyap? No...Mrs Kabir Sharma...jabse aayi ho...tumse nazar aur dhyaan dono hi nahi hatte..
He thought with a pleasent smile...
Ananya meanwhile entered her bedroom with a tray holding the steaming hot fresh soup Anita had prepared for Kabir, when she found him rummaging through the bag with their clothes...she had brought in when he was asleep...
A: & just what do u think u are doing, Mr Sharma?
Kabir jumped at the stern voice but rekaxed seeing Ananya...
K: arrey dekho 8 baj gaye hai Ananya...mujhe 9 baje ka bulletin padhna hai...I need to get ready...Khalid se maine keh diya tha ki main yahi se news padh lunga...
He said with a smile...
Ananya raised her eyebrow at him & cleared her throat...
A: no...
K: sorry?
A: I said...No!
Ananya answered calmly & Kabir frowned in confusion...
K: kya bol rahi ho? Kya no?
He asked...
A: Kabir! Aap news nahi padh sakte! Aapko sona hai! Aap bimaar hai...u need to rest!
She insisted...
Kabir groaned...
K: c'mon Ananya..I'm..uh...fine now...
Kabir gave her a smile...but Ananya was too clever to have not noticed him wince slightly...
A: Main aapke stomach cramps ke liye painkiller laati hoon & don't u dare move from the bed...koi news vews nahi padhni hai!
She warned...
Kabir huffed & threw the comforter over him...
Ananya giggled softly knowing he was sulking & pouting & grumbling underneath the covers...
No wonder she was right, as she heard him mumbling to himself about how much of a hitler Ananya had turned into & was bossing him around...
Who would have thought that the no nonsense strict Editor-in-cheif of KKN was such a baby at heart...but yes, Ananya brought out the innocennce in him...which had been buried deep within him...in a dark dismal corner of his heart for over a decade...
Shaking her head, she settled on the bed...prying apart the covers to reveal a bit if dark curls...
Ananya dropped a kiss in them...
A: Kabir soup toh pee lijiye...
She insisted...
K: main hitler logo ka diya hua kuch nahi khaata! Ya PEETA!
He corrected...smirking at his wife who was now pouting...
A: aap jo kahenge karungi...bas soup pee lijiye na...
She requested earnestly...
Kabir thought for a moment & then answered...
K: theek hai...agar tum mujhe kuch dogi toh main sochunga...
He said meaningfully...
Ananya frowned in confusion...
A: kya matlab? Kya doon aapko?
Ananya asked...although seeing her husband's triumphant smirk she knew he was upto something...
K: abhi abhi jo tumne mujhe yaha diya ( pointing to his head) vo mujhe yaha par chahiye...
He said with a charming smile with a fingertip resting on his cheek...
Ananya blushed & hit his shoulder playfully...
A: bohot naughty hogaye hai aap!
She reprimanded him shyly...
At this Kabir only cocked an eyebrow at her...
K: jis aadmi ki itni khubsoorat patni ho vo bhala seedha seedha kaise reh sakta hai...
He whispered huskily grazing his knuckles over cheek painfully slowly & sensuously...
Ananya blushed & shyly pecked him cheek making him grin victoriously...
Ananya' s breath deepened & she shuddered at their little intense moment...blushing deeply making Kabir chuckle heartily...
A: chup chap soup pee lijiye...maine aapki baat maanli...ab aapki baari...
She told him...eyes still lowered in shyness & cheeks burning a dark scarlet...
Kabir smirked again & pressed a quick kiss to her red cheek...only adding further to the colour...
K: maine kaha tha sochunga...ye nahi kaha tha ki soup pee lunga...
Ananya grit her teeth...wanting to wipe that grin off his face...
K: par agar tum apne haatho se pilaaogi toh phir kuch ho sakta hai...
He added..
Ananya gaped at his boldness...somewhere she loved it that they were progressing so well in their relationship...they were gradually edging closer to being husband wife in true senses...
When Malvika & Khalid entered the bedroom along with Anita, they found KaYa cuddling in bed joking & poking fun at each other as well as feeding the soup to each other...
Kabir had an arm around Ananya & shevwas resting her head on his shoulder...the soup bowl on the tray was in Kabir's lap...
Kh: looks like falling sick is fun afterall huh?
Khalid teased & KaYa realised they weren't alone in the room...
K: uh...maa..
He began awkwardly...
K: aur soup hai?
He asked nervously...scratching his head...
An: arrey beta itba awkward kyu horahe ho? Tumhe soup achcha laga? I'm so happy!!! Main abhi aur bakar laati hoon..hmm?
She smiled warmly...dropping a motherly kiss on his forehead...
K: ji...I loved the soup...vo...I threw up everything I had eaten...isliye...
He trailed off...
An: No problem beta! Ananya tu keh na ise! Tumhe jitna chahiye main bana dungi...
Anita said with a smile before taking the bowl & tray & heading to the kitchen to prepare more...
K: yes? How may I help u?
He turned to the smiling Khalid & agitated Malvika...
Khalid's grin grew wider & wider & Kabir shot him a confused look...
Kh: guess what Kabir???!!!
Khalid exclaimed...
K: KKN no.1 hogaya?
Kabir offered & Khalid chuckled...
Kh: kya Kabir! Arrey vo toh tabse hai jabse tum KKN ke Editor-in-cheif bane ho...it just hasn't budged...the news is something else!!!
Khalid cried out happily...
A: aisi kya news hai Khalid sir?
Ananya asked this time...
Kh: Ananya darling!!! Khabar ye hai ki tumhaare pati ko Best Journalist ka award mila hai...the association somehow couldn't reach Kabir toh unhone office mein phone kiya...
With a squeal, the very next moment, Kabir had been engulfed in the biggest bear hug of his life...
Not noticing the fuming Malvika, he chuckled... fondly running a hand through Ananya's curly locks...
A: ab toh aapko golden star dungi!
Ananya giggled mischievously & Kabir glared at her...
K: Mrs Sharma, kitni baar kehta hoon psychiatrist se mil lete hai...tumhaari dimaagi haalat bigadti jaa rahi hai...par nahi! Khalid ab tum hi samjhao ise!
Khalid took one look at Kabir's smirk & Ananya's big pout & burst out laughing...
A: Meanie!
Ananya whined & Kabir laughed...
Ananya knew then from this teasing that her husband was all it fit & fine now...
Kh: ok & by the way, KKN ki taraf se iss khushi mein kal ek party de raha hoon...
Khalid gushed as Kabir & Ananya exchanged happy smiles...
K: oh no Khalid...you don't have to...
Kabir began but only to be cut off by Khalid...
Kh: of course I do! Kal party hai!!!!
Khalid declared leaving no room for argument...
Malvika on the other hand hated to see how Kabir always had his arm around Ananya, how he let that junior reporter kiss him...or how he addressed her as Mrs Kabir Sharma with so much love & fondness...
She hated how happy he was with Ananya & not her...
She hated that the stupid junior reporter had strong, powerful, sensational & influencial Editor-in-cheif Kabir around her fingertips...
Kabir was all over Ananya & he could barely take his eyes off her & that bugged Malvika to no end...
Mal: Wait & watch Ananya! Mera master plan taiyyar hai...Kabir will be MINE!
She thought wickedly...while Kabir & Ananya rejoiced in each other's company...oblivious to an evil plot that was being hatched to separate them...
TBC😃
Precap:
Ananya looked on helplessly as Kabir sobbed like a baby in her embrace...tears glazed her own eyes as well...
K: Why does no one love me?
He slurred in a voice so sad that Ananya was heartbroken...
A: shh..Kabir! I love you! I always have! Aisa mat kahiye na...aur main kabse pooch rahi hoon...aap toh kabhi drinks ko choote tak nahi hai...aaj itna drink kyu kiya???? Aur aap party se aise hi chal diye?
She cried out...barely stiffling her own sobs...
A: I love you!!
Ananya exclaimed with all the truth in her...
Kabir at first giggled with childish glee before he burst into heartwrenching sobs...
K: nahi!!! tum ye sirf mera dard kam karne ke liye keh rahi ho...kyunki tum bohot achchi ho...lekin sach toh yahi hai ki tum bhi Ronnie ko hi pasand karti ho...aakhir usne tumse shaadi karke tumhe patni manne se mana toh nahi kiya na! He never accused u of being a gold digger! That was me! It was me Ananya!! Tum aur vo toh college ke waqt se saath the na...main hi beech mein aagaya...
Its ok...its ok if u hate me...I hate me too..everyone hates me...meri family sahi kehti hai...main panauti hoon...isliye koi mujhe pyaar nahi karta...maine hi apne mummy papa ko jalaakar maara hai..I'm a killer!!!
Kabir is a bad boy! Very very bad boyyy!!!
Kabir grumbled & was about to take a swig of the alcohol in his hand when it was snatched away & a tight slap was planted on his face...
Kabir pouted...cradling his stinging cheek...looking nervously at his furious wife who had just slapped him...
A: SHUT THE HELL UP KABIR SHARMA! IF YOU BLAME YOURSELF & CALL YOURSELF BAD OR A KILLER I SWEAR I WILL CUT OFF YOUR TONGUE!!!!
She snarled...
Kabir's eyes darted up at Ananya nervously & his jutted his lower quievering lip out...
K: I'm sowwy!
He said in a baby voice...mimicking one...
Ananya's eyes softened & she gently embraced him...kissing his hurt cheek softly...
A: I'm sorry too...
She cooed...caressing his cheek...
A: bohot pyaar karti hoon main aapse Kabir...agar dobaara aisi bakwaas ki na toh phirse vo ganda khaana banaungi!
She warned playfully...
Kabir inched closer...his eyebrows raised in a cocky look...
Ananya gasped as fell back to lie on the bed with her husband...no drunk yet loving husband howering over her...
K: sach...?
She shivered feeling the vibrations from his lips against her ear...as if his husky baritone wasn't enough to make her crazy...
A: j..ji...maine..toh...humesha se aapse pyaar kiya hai...ever since that article u wrote in favour of papa...8 saal pehle...
She admitted with a blush...
A husky chuckle only added to his charm making Ananya shiver due to the intensity...
Kabir's fingertip traced her features intensely...over her cheeks...her nose...forehead..chin...finally stopping by her lower lip...stroking it lazily...
Ananya's chest heaved up & down & her eyes widened at his ministrations & the passionate gaze...
K: I loved u...the moment I saw u first Ananya...
He admitted...
He chuckled hearing his wife's gasp of surprise & knocked his forehead against hers...
K: vishwaas nahi hota na? Kabir Sharma...big bad boy...and love at first sight? Hmm? Par yahi sach hai...mujhe tumse pehli nazar mein pyaar hogaya tha...jabse tumhe dekha hai...sapne hi dekh raha hoon...humaare...
He said in a voice heavy with passion & Ananya blushed furiously at this confession & shook her head...it was inded hard to believe but Kabir wouldn't lie to her in a million years...
But before she had the chance to go further over his mesmerising confession, her husband had sought her lips...
A stunned Ananya tasted alcohol & some coffee but felt an enternal peace like never before...
She felt she was in heaven...not on earth...how else would pleasure of such extreme magnitude be possible here...
K: I love u baby...just u...and so much!
He slurred...placing his lips directly above her heart...over the cloth, & Ananya was ready to scream...
Kabir's head rose up & his dark, glazed eyes bore deep into hers...asking for permission...his eyes held so much love for her in them that Ananya was in state to not allow him...
As Kabir's fingers tugged at the saree drape pinned onto her shoulder, she still couldn't make herself to stop him...it was as if he had her under his spell...
Ananya smiled tearfully at him & opened her arms for him & he gladly came in...
He needed this assurance...he needed to know that he had her to love all he wanted & she would love him with everything of hers too...
& if that assurance meant submitting her soul & body to her husband, a man she loved more than life itself...and he too seemed to love her more than she had ever thought...then so be it!
She thought...
The next moment when Kabir leaned doen down to kiss her, she wasn't as stunned...she was the happiest woman on earth or rather the universe..
