Part 4:
“What a good singer. OMG, my heart skipped a beat” Kuhu hooted as soon as the girls reached back to their room from the Karaoke session.
“Really, he was something” Saniya added.
The girls were completely mesmerized, Anubhav has such melodious voice that even Gungun can’t help but think about the first time she heard Anubhav’s singing at his sister’s wedding. She still gets goosebumps thinking of how a person’s voice can reach one’s soul.
“Gungun, Gungun. Don’t you agree. Anubhav sir really has a great voice, right?” Kuhu looked at Gungun, trying to affirm her admiration for the scientist who will be giving seminars.
“He was ok” saying this, Gungun left to change and finally sleep. It was a tiring day. She plans to completely ignore Anubhav starting tomorrow. Today she couldn’t help it but tomorrow she will make sure to not cross path with Mr. popular.
Anubhav couldn’t take his eyes off from Gungun, she was looking so fragile. He has never seen her this way. Anubhav has always seen sparkly, confident and a brat Gungun. She was not loud, she not even once looked at him during the song or the dinner and was just focused on her friends. She looked broken.
Anubhav needs to talk to her, try to clear up the mess they made a month ago, so that they can move forward. He needs to talk to Gungun, so he can finally come at peace with himself.
Next day went by quickly with Anubhav busy with his seminars and Gungun busy with her art exhibition. The day went by quickly, and it was already 4pm when everyone was free to explore Nainital.
Gungun was glad that she didn’t see him all day and was planning to continue this way for next 2 days and finally head back home.
As Gungun was heading back to her room, a hand gripped her, and she was pinned against a wall with deep brown eyes looking at her.
He was really close. “What are you doing? Let me go” Gungun, suddenly realizing that its Anubhav.
Staring at each other’s eyes, the air between them got thicker, Anubhav was very close to Gungun, she can hear his heartbeat, or was it hers?
He was so close that she forgot everything, the place, surrounding, the pain, one month of suffering, everything just flew out of the window.
“Come with me” Anubhav took Gungun’s hand and entered a very neat room
“What is this? Where are we?” Gungun looked at Anubhav, who closed the door behind them
“It’s my room. And we need to talk” Anubhav said suddenly guiding Gungun to take a seat, siting on opposite sofa.
“I don’t have anything to say. Its all done. We are done. Its all over. You find me immature; you don’t think that I’m good for you or your family. My mom came to me after so many years, ruined my marriage for her personal satisfaction and left me to deal with the consequences” Gungun, little agitated, got up from the seat and tried to control her emotions in front of this man, who left her all alone that day.
“Listen to me. I know, what happened that day was not good, and I think we should sit down and talk to each other to end all of this peacefully” Anubhav also got up and was looking at Gungun, trying to find some answers, find some solace.
Anubhav have been unsettled, disconcerted from that day. Something was weighing him down and he knows that Gungun is the one who can help him solve this situation, to get him some peace.
“Not good? You think what happened that day was not good? No Anubhav, it was not good. Not for your family, not for my family, not for me and neither for you. But in all of this I was not only just insulted like everyone by Dr Maya but also was betrayed by my own mother, my would-be husband and also by his family, who I love like my own. So, yaa, it was not good.” Gungun blasted at Anubhav, this anger, shame, and guilt that she was carrying around for past month suddenly found a way out and she couldn’t stop.
“Listen to me. I’m trying to move forward. I now don’t want to do anything with you and Dr Maya. Both are selfish and both abandoned me for their own egoistic reasons. So, I’m done with everything” Gungun moved towards the door, clenching her fist, to control her tears. She will not be weak; she will not tear up in front of Anubhav.
Bell ranged, before Gungun can open the door. Anubhav pulled back Gungun from her shoulders.
“What are you doing. Leave me” Gungun struggled to go away from Anubhav
“Shushhhh…. can’t you hear, someone is at the door. Do you want to get seen with your guest lecturer?” Anubhav shushed Gungun and inquired “Who is it?”
“Sir, Its Kirti”
“Wait a minute.” Anubhav replied.
Anubhav took Gungun and made her stand behind the curtains. He suddenly came close to her ears and whispered
“We are not done yet Gungun. Not even close.” Anubhav stepped back staring at Gungun.
His closeness, whispers, and sudden touches, makes Gungun’s heartbeat little faster. Her mind at that moment freezes whereas her heart just wants to pull Anubhav closer to her.
What is happening to her? Why is she behaving like this?
