Tere Ishq Mein ..
... a MJHT SS
alright before anyone here reprimands me for the SS i wrote .. am in the process of finishing it off will post when done ... have been busy a lot lately however .. however well when something gets me going .. I cant stop :P
this OS was requested by Rabia and ordered by Diya to me - so gals here's something from the depths of my bizarre mind.😆
_______________________
ok so I have FF'ed a bit over here - as per the current plot - SG have known Nupur is alive have met her and somehow unaware of the trio being faculty members being interviewed by Mrs. Indira Shergill Nupur too has joined the faculty of excel as dramatics teacher ala Tamanna mam - where the action has begun and it's been more then 2 weeks since she joined - she had considered resignation owing to the trio however .. well was in need of a job and also she didn't want to be taken as a quitter.
she is mad at the others.
while on the other hand Sam is particularly mad at Gunjan .. her words after the play have haunted his mind every single second - and much to her dismay Gunjan hasn't been able to have Sam forgive her even after countless apologies have been made - the hurt of 3 years.. the pain of being accused by his love for a crime he never committed the feeling of abandonment the resentment all brooding and taking over, with Mayank he was friendly as always since they had mended ways.. with nupur things were cordial as the ice hadnt broken there.. somehow though extroverted by nature and the most compulsive talkers ... both in their pain have shut each other out as well - none wishes to hear or talk to the other... despite wanting to so much - Sam was happy she is alive and back in college however he was hurt by all the problems he had to face owing to some nurse mixing up the names in the hospital and for which he paid dearly in the last 3 years... he so wanted to ask Nupur why couldnt she have made a call to him once... why.. why but didnt wanna take the initiative.
on the other hand - Gunjan was making all the initiatory steps on their front however there he wished to make no response - the first cut hurts the most and love's cut hurts the deepest....
_____________________________________________________
Wandering through the same corridors that once were walked in the company of the people she loved the most - whose being in her life made her feel like she is the happiest and luckiest girl alive in the world Gunjan Bhushan had wanted nothing more from her life... just the warmth of her loved ones; their being happy and close and ... and mostly a life which she could spend in the sweet abode of his arms... the one place where her heart found paradise and she felt the comfort and security of his love enveloping her that would forever shield her from any and every pain, hurt or sadness - and .. and if anything were to come along their way as well - she knew he would be there.. he Her SAMRAT - and with him by her side nothing else mattered... together they were invincible - together their love could take on any challenge and win it .. win as neither he would allow anything that could make her loose .. nor could she.. and something - something precisely in that moment stabbed her... the piercing pain was intolerable .. and yet all she deserved.
No - this should not have happened; however it did .. what could she however do now.. when the sands of time had slipped by and she had allowed them too for all she knew... moments of the past filled her mind as they flooded her memory - each moment priceless each memory now .. as if a distant dream.
she snapped out as someone bumped into her and all her papers and files fell to the ground...
" ah .. sorry.. maine woh ...." but as she saw her face Nupur stopped and her face fell.
" koi baat nahi di shayad main hi raaste mein khadi thi.. mera dhyan kahiin aur tha..."
" dhyan .. dhyan toh kabhi nahi tha ..."
saying so Nupur bent down as in the collision her stuff had fell on the ground too.
Gunjan quietly did the same.. both picked their stuff when their heads bumped - the moment it happened both placed a hand on their foreheads as they simultaneously yelped - "ouch " and suddenly were giggling
" Gunjan tu bhi dekh nahi sakti .. laagi to nahi na tujhe"
"ahh di tum bhi to dekh sakti thi .. itni nahi laggi aur tumehe ?"
" arre nahi main theek hoon.. nupur bhushan sharma us chiz ka naam hai jo...." and she stopped in a while their faces contorted with a pain ... all those days when they had been the very life of each other - they would have laughed of their heads at such moments were here and finally Nupur stood up with all the stuff in her hands gave gunjan one final look and walked away.
as if the hurt of that moment wasnt enough .. that another was on the way .. right after she turned she almost collided into him... and before she could be knocked off again he caught hold off her.. his hands held her arms and as he balanced her.. she could feel his breath on her... his hands their warmth coursed through her body and she couldn't move her gaze from his brown eyes.. those eyes which were filled with so much innocence yet naughtiness which later were taken over by .. Love and Passion ... replaced now with .. pain and hurt - for a moment neither could look away .. nor could feel anything else - but then - he snapped out and let go .. walking away to be in his office.
and the pain somehow escaped with a silent tear that rolled down her cheek which she quickly wiped away ... she knew she was wrong and his aloofness his hostility of sorts was justified.. she couldn't help but hate herself for having shot those barbs at him - which she knew pricked his heart - but if he and his love had taught her anything it was persistence ... she would not give up... not let him walk away from her not now... she loves him .. she needs him more then her will to live as he is her reason to live .. her very being.
No she will make amends now - hadn't he done that countless times even as just friends... his love for her made those attempts even stronger now that he is hurt it is her who has to cross that bridge and dissolve the distance between them which she is responsible for herself... but how do I do this ? her mind wandered as she crossed the familiar BB practice area where so many moments surrounded her .. that ball hit, that attempt to kiss, her initially finding it disturbing to work in the ruckus but then ... then it becoming a part of her.. a small smile lit on her face.. and she wanted to cry too - for the guy who always made her smile - she was the reason of his tears.. no I cant lose him again ... the very thought made her shiver briefly.
' STOP IT GUNJAN' - she commanded herself... nothing must be feared then fear itself - hadn't he thought you this as well... and she remembered ... those moments - her first experiment - Guru Samrat - Imagination is the key to it... and she smiled a bit more... and something hit her... OMG.. yes.. yes this is it !!
how could I have been so dumb - the key was all along here itself - and she smiled a huge smile that lit her face... yes she knows now how to go about here - she whispered slowly - " thank you Guru Samrat' and laughed a bit loud when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
" Gunjan .. are you ok ? "
she saw Mayank and realized she was standing alone with such a huge grin on her face - and to think she is an counsellor - the students a few who stared - she avoided their gaze and answered Mayank.
' ha main theek hoon mayank dont worry " and smiled a huge smile
' aankhon mein chamak chehre pe muskurahat - kya kissi ko mil gayi hai apni mohabbat ?" mayank teased his SIL as she blushed a bit scarlet.
" nahi .. par uska raasta zaroor mil gaya hai... "
" matlab ?"
" matlab ... darr se zyada kissi cheez se nahi darna chahiye... guru Samrat kehte hai - apne darr ko face karo - cheeze waise hi hongi jaise tum unhe chaahoge - ha waqt lag sakta hai .. par pyar main toh saari zindagi usiki hoti hai na.. toh time ki kisse chinta hogi ? main bas ab Samrat ko manake rahoongi."
mayank smiled at her and was incredibly happy.. " ye achanak itna positive change mujhe achha lagga lekin plan kya hai ?" he asked excitedly
" plan simple hai lekin main tumhe kyun batao ? mujhse zyada tum Samrat ke dost ho aur main nahi chahti ki usse pata lage "
" gunjan .. tum .. aisa kuch nahi hai .."
" achha? aisa hi hai .. isiliye us din jab diya wapas aayi thi tab office main Samrat ki side kaun le raha tha ? "
" woh main .. woh "
" woh main kuch nahi .. Jiju .. main chalti hoon - mujhe kissi special ko manana hai ."
and she almost couldnt have been happier - which made Mayank smile as well " chalo ab Gunjan itni confident hai to main jaanta hoon Samrat ko woh mana hi legi... Guru Samrat ka asar jo tha ." as he smiled wider and it clicked him... " Shayad meri liye bhi kaam kar jaaye - apne darr ko face karo - cheeze waise hi hongi jaise tum unhe chaahoge - ha waqt lag sakta hai .. par pyar main toh saari zindagi usiki hoti hai na.. toh time ki kisse chinta hogi ?" and he too left with a huge grin.

later in the day..
Samrat's office
Samrat had been pretty busy all day .. meetings with the BOD ..later students - faculty members - somehow all of them had something they needed him for.
he just sank in his chair as he sat and closed his eyes for a while - he was about to leave for home when he remembered the file his mom had asked him to study - he opened the drawer where he had kept it and removed it locking it - as he noticed he had kept it unlocked - when he realized something... he frantically searched the contents of the drawer .. removed it all - began checking the others as well but to no avail.
when there was suddenly a knock on his door.. " kuch dhoondh rahe ho ? main kuch help kar do"
" tum ? yahaan itna late .. mera matlab hai sab chale gaye hai college timings khatam ho gaye hai"
" ha bas aise hi bore ho rahi thi waise bhi ghar jaake karu kya aaj ash bhi rohan ke saath dinner par ja rahi hai main akeli thi to socha yehi rahoon kuch reading kar loongi aur dekha tumhari office ki lights on thi to aa gayi."
" hmm .." saying so he started to keep the contents back to where they belonged yet looked angry and a bit worried.
" tumne bataya nahi kya dhoondh rahe the mil gaya kya ? "
he just ignored Gunjan as she came in near him while he continued to put those things back in place.
" main help kar sakti hoon .." she played with something in her neck as she said this ...
" mujhe tumse koi help nahi chahiye "
" are you sure ?"
he finally looked at her " dekho maine kaha ... " and with a jerk stood up from his chair crossing the space between them and stood facing her shock all over his face.
" ye .. tum .. tumne mere drawer ko check kiya ? - yeh chain .. aur " he noticed her ring finger too as she had a sly smile watching his expressions
" meri chain aur ring wapas karo "
she laughed out loud at that as she had when he had walked in without pants the other day he remembered.
" isme itna bada joke kya laga tumhe ? "
" Samrat - pehli baat yeh ring aur chain meri hai aur doosri tum inhe apni aise bula rahe the " saying so she laughed.
" yeh tumhari nahi hai ... thi - jab tum inhe chhod ke chali gayi to yeh waapas meri ho gayi toh inhe wapas karo aur kisse ki drawer check karna - you should be ashamed. "
she gasped faking it - " Kissi ki ..tum kab se kissi ki ho gaye mere liye ?"
he was a bit surprised at her answer - she seemed different - something was cooking in her mind it seems.
" woh jo bhi hai mera drawer tumhe check kiya how ill-mannered "
" maine check nahi kiya jab tumse milne aayi thi toh tum nahi the yahaan aur phir main hum sab ki woh photo tumhare table par dekh rahi thi .. dhyaan gaya ki drawer khula hai toh usse bandh karne gayi aur mere chain aur ring dekhe toh utha liye ... bas"
he thought for a second - " fine drawer khula reh gaya hoga mujhe bhaagna pada tha parking mein doosre college ke kuch students problem kar rahe the ... par ab yeh tumhare nahi inhe waapas karo "
saying so he placed a hand in front of her - she held it and he looked at her with a surprised expression.. as she came closer to him - and slowly said " jahaan tak ki mujhe yaad hai gifts dene ke baad wapas nahi maange jaate aur yeh chain meri gift thi.. aur yeh ring" - she smiled as she saw it - hamesha sirf mere liye hi thi - isiliye to jab tum isse pasand karke bhi mere liye nahi laa paaye phir bhi yeh mere paas hi aa gayi kyunki tumne hi kaha tha na .. is ring ko dekhke hi lagga tha ki yeh hamari engagement ring hai."
she held his hand with both of hers as she looked in his eyes .. " Samrat inhe main apne aap se ek aur baar alag nahi kar sakti main apni galti ko dohrana nahi chahti - I am sorry ... main tumhe yeh waapas nahi karoongi .. nahi kar sakti.. please forgive me for this... and everything else... please"
for a moment none spoke none could look away from the other but Samrat tried to take his hand away as he remembered her words..' tumhare pyar ne mujhe hamesha dard hi diya hai.."
" koi bhi dard ke saath nahi rehna chahta.. tumhi ne to kahaan tha na.. meri wajah se tumhe hamesha dard hi milla hai.. toh mujhe ab yeh sab kyun keh rahi ho ? "
" kyunki main galat thi.." with a slight smile " aur mujhe apni galti maloom ho gayi hai .. isliye ab main aur galtiyaan nahi karna chahti .. "
she brought his hand which she still held in both of hers closer to her face and kissed it tenderly - " I love you Samrat.. I still love you .. I really love you so very much."
he tried to take his hand away however she held it tighter still she stepped a bit closer to him - " tumne mujhse us din kaha tha na.. ki main aaj bhi jab khidki se bahaar dekhti hoon toh tumhara intezaar karti hoon .. woh sach tha.." she placed her hand over his heart stepping closer
" jab tumne mujhse kahaan ki main aaj bhi jab gaati hoon to main jaanti hoon ki tum mujhe kahiin sun rahe ho woh sach tha.." and tenderly gave him a peck on his cheek as his eyes closed on the touch of her lips on his skin.. with their faces so close that they could feel each other's breath she looked in his eyes as she cupped his face now..
" par jab tumne mujhse kahaan ki maine tumhe utna hi miss kiya hai jitna tumne mujhe .. woh galat tha... kyunki maine khudko itna bhoolne ki koshish nahi ki jitna tumhe bhulane ki... khudse itni door jaane main mujhe takleef nahi hui jitni tumse door jaake hui ... kyunki apne aap ko toh main ussi din kho chukki thi jab tum mujhe mille .. par tumhe paakar .. tumhe kho nahi sakti thi... main tumse bahut pyar karti hoon Samrat... I love you so much "
and with that she surrendered her lips to his - in the softest... light as a feather kiss - " I Love You " as she kept her head over his shoulder and held him in her arms... " I Love You"
a few moments later ... Samrat removed her arms that held him and looked at her... " tumhe jo karna hai karo nahi waapas karni yeh ring aur chain toh fine.. tumhari marzi .. main ab jaa rahaan hoon..." saying so in a daze and hurry Samrat walked out of his office as Gunjan held a slight smile on her face.
" Main jaanti hoon Samrat maine tumhe bahut hurt kiya hai .. itni jaldi tumse maafi mujhe nahi mil sakti .. par kum se kum ab main tumse yeh khulkar to keh sakti hoon ki main tumse kitna pyar karti hoon... aur main jaanti hoon ki jaise aaj tum yeh ring aur chain mere pass rakh saku isliye maan gaye ho ek na ek din tum mujhe maaf bhi kar doge .. aur maan jaaoge ... kyunki tumhine to mujhse kahaan tha na ki main tumhare beete hue kal ka sapna thi aur aanewale kal ki umeed hoon ... waise hi jaise tum mera sapna the ... aur meri umeed ho .. meri haqeeqat hokar..." and smiled.
