Chapter 56
This chapter is about Akanksha''..
Time for her story to start
Akanksha was feeling really tensed up. Both for her sister and her friends. But it seemed that only she was worried.
Her baby sister who till today used take her guidance in almost everything was head over heels in love with a werewolf. She was going about it as if Neel was just another guy.
Fiza was moony eyed almost always and there was no prize for guessing who filled her thoughts- Armaan Malik, the lethally handsome vampire.
Finding Aysha was very simple. Where there is Abhay Raichand there you can find Aysha Kapoor.
Nidha was slowly becoming the metaphor of love sick and was ready to either or cry out at the drop of a hat.
Sanju was carrying on with her double role life as usual not at all bothered about the fact that her family might soon find out that she is Mrs. Sanjana Chopra
"Mental'..completely mental" Anky muttered to herself shaking her head, while walking through her college corridor.
She bumped into a tall some one.
"Watch where you are going Mehra" Kabir muttered angrily.
"You could do the same Rathod" Anky retorted stalking off.
Kabir glared her retreating back and made to walk away. Suddenly a shiny something caught his eye. He picked up a silver bracelet studded with a bright red ruby.
"She must have dropped it'..let her hunt for it" Kabir said with a smirk.
"Hey K" T's said linking her hand around Kabir. Kabir hated it when T called him that. His foul mood didn't help matters.
"T I have told you to call me Kabir" he snapped rudely.
"K! What's with the rudeness baby'..no one ever treats princess T like that" T said stubbornly.
Kabir gritted his teeth and calmed himself down. For a week his fuse wire had been blowing at the smallest of things. T was not the kind of girl who would let this slide. She would find a way to insult him. He had to handle the situation.
"Sorry baby'.I will make it up to you'..Tacos tonight" Kabir said with his heart stealing smile.
"Since you are being so sweet and I am a well-mannered girl'..I will come'pick me up at eight" T said with an air walking off.
"Sure thing sweetheart" Kabir replied turning away and rolling his eyes. Gosh! He couldn't wait to ditch this b***h.
"Sur where the hell where you?" Anky asked irritated, as her sister came into room "Don't bother'..coochi cooing with Neel I guess" she said rolling her eyes.
"Come on Di'..why do you always think that? Wait a minute are you jealous" Sur asked with a smirk.
"Of what precisely?" Anky asked raising her eyebrows.
"Of the fact that your baby sister found love'.while you are still man less" Sur said leaning onto the car.
"Surbhi Mehra'..come back down to earth'..no need to be all high and mighty'..I agree that I am 'man less' as you say'..but without a man itself I am worried" she paused giving Sur a you-know-what look.
"Di it's not that bad'..agreed that we have fallen for quiet strange people'.but they are as human or maybe even more human than some people we know" Sur said quietly.
Anky went over to her little sister and hugged her.
"Come on my sweet baby sis'..I am just being an over protective big sister'..don't mind me I am a little cranky you know" Anky said with a wink. Sur smiled and hugged her back.
"Now enough of this pda'.lets head home" Anky said going over to the driver seat.
Mehra House''
Anky freshened up and decided to give her books some time. She needed catching up big time. Finals were only few months away and she was far behind on portions.
"Anky'..better get some of these into your brain" she said scowling at the long paragraphs in her Economics text.
No sooner was she into the book that her phone buzzed up showing a text message from.
"Anamika" Anky said out loud. Her eyes were wide with astonishment.
"Hey my bestie'.meet me at the Tacos'.nine' o'clock tonight'.will do some catching up" the message said "Wear the dress I gifted you last year'..Love Anu"
"This is one pleasant surprise" Anky said with a smile.
Within half an hour she was on the way to Tacos wearing a rose colored Anarkali suit with matching accessories and her hair left open.
She parked the car outside and went in.
Within moments of getting in she was enveloped in a bear hug.
"Akku my jaan" a sweet voice screamed in her ears.
"Whoa! Anu we are in a restaurant'.people will misunderstand" Anky said with a mischievous grin.
"You haven't changed a bit" Anamika said smacking her on the arm.
"Come on'.I have booked a table" she said leading Anky to table.
"So how was the past one year?" Anu asked smiling warmly while serving Anky the starters.
"Nothing much'.jumped onto final year, made some new and exciting friends" Anky paused for a while looking contemplative "and life is going on"
"Sur has joined college na? How is the sweety faring" Anu asked.
"Not bad'.she is in love in fact'..and looks like will be in it for the rest of her life" Anky replied shaking her head.
"And you are still love less" Anu said looking at Anky with a smile.
"You too Anu! Gosh! Why is everyone so bothered about my love life'.people are alive without love" Anky said with an exasperated look "I mean all other loves are enough to keep one going''I haven't found that special one till now'.doesn't mean I won't find him ever in life dear" she said smiling.
"Okay okay'.I was merely curious" Anu said raising her hand in peace.
Anky gave her a long look before saying
"You have gotten over it I guess"
Anu smiled in response.
"Gosh! How I wished I could kill that Rathod'.but now I think this is the best counter action'.if he sees you this happy now'.he will know he failed in breaking a heart'jerk" Anky said angrily.
"You are still angry on Kabir'.Akku I have forgiven him'.it was no fault of his" Anu said.
Anky nearly spat out the water she was drinking.
"What?" she asked the shock in her tone obvious. "Are you kidding me? He broke your heart knowing full well what he was doing" Anky said indignantly
"Don't be so shocked'..I know he is still the same playboy I fell for'.but the fault is not fully his'..Akku he has a very painful and traumatic past'..I came to know of it only when I left Dehradun'..I confronted him with the truth and guess what'.he apologized" Anu said.
Anky's eyes were the size of dinner plates now.
"That's one reason I came back here'..when I was in I met his best friend who had grown up with him''Kabir had a very traumatic teenage Akku''his mother left his dad for some other rich guy'..Rathod's are rich I know (she raised a hand to stop Anky from interfering) but his mom was terrible woman'.the kind who doesn't mind whom they hurt and whom they don't''she left him and his dad saying she found new love''Kabir's dad was shattered so was Kabir'.his dad just plunged himself into business hoping that if he managed to grow richer maybe his beloved wife would come back''all this affected Kabir negatively he wasn't ready to trust a woman any more'..but he did search for love Akku'..that was what he was looking for in all the girls he dated'the genuine true love that the world boats about'...but unfortunately girls cared more about his wallet than him'..this broke him further'..he decided never to take any girl seriously''that is why he played with me too" Anu ended with a sad look.
Anky looked lost for a while. She had never heard of a more traumatic past. But still she couldn't fully justify Kabir either.
"But still Anu'..he should have realized you were genuine'..I mean how could he miss that" Anky asked.
"Maybe I am not his special some one" Anu replied with a smile "He said he couldn't feel that way about me'.he didn't understand why'.but he couldn't'..trust me now I am happy for that" Anu said.
"Why?" Anky asked frowning.
"I have found my guy'..the perfect match for me'..his name is Ayush'.he is coming to pick me up" Anu said with an excited smile.
"Good for you'.and I guess I owe Rathod a few apologies'.I mean I have been talking bad about him ever since he did that to you'..now that I know the truth I will ask sorry" Anky said.
Anu smiled. They finished the rest of their dinner catching up with other events.
Anky met Ayush Verma, a charming young guy and bid farewell to Anu with a hug.
She was walking back to her car when she caught site of Kabir standing beside his car looking up at the sky.
After debating for a second she walked towards him. Kabir turned to look when he heard the sound of heels. He was surprised to see Anky- suit clad that too- walking towards him.
"Hey" she said coming to a halt a few feet away from him. She was nervously twirling her fingers behind her.
Gosh Anky! It's just an apology she scolded herself.
Kabir raised his eyebrows but spoke nothing.
"Well ermm'.I am here to say sorry" Anky said looking straight at him.
Kabir was taken aback.
"Akanksha Mehra and sorry! Have you hit your head or something or are you on drugs" Kabir asked looking surprised.
"Hey dude! Don't be so shocked'.I am not that bad'.I too can apologize'..this one was for spreading bad news about you to all the girls in college who asked about you" Anky said frankly.
"You were telling the truth right? So why the apology" Kabir asked leaning onto his car.
"Partail truth'..true you are jerk for playing with some genuine feelings'..but it isn't entirely your fault you can't trust a girl'..I mean after your mother and some initial" Anky started.
"Who told you this?" Kabir asked sharply.
Then comprehension dawned on him.
"Anamika" he said quietly "She shouldn't have"
"So it's the truth then" Anky asked looking at him.
"Still not believing are we?" Kabir asked with a smirk.
"I do believe Anu'.and she learned this from Ayush right? Your bestie'..I met him too'..he seems like the trustable type'.but it is 21st century after all" Anky said with a shrug.
"Anyways'.for now I am going to take Anu's word for it'..and so Mr. Kabir Singh Rathod'.I am sorry from the bottom of my heart'..but that doesn't mean I like the flavour of the week policy of yours" Anky ended .
Kabir smiled. He could see that she genuinely meant it. He had somewhat accepted that Anky was not among the pretentious types.
"Apology accepted Akanksha Mehra" he acknowledged with a smile
Anky smiled.
"Bye then'.gotta rush" she said and turned to go away when
"Mehra'..how dare you come near my boyfriend'..you wanna snatch him from me don't you" T screeched stomping towards them.
"Oh shut-up T" Anky snapped. She turened to Kabir.
"Actually now I feel sorry for you" she said shaking her head.
"You'how dare you" T said pushing Anky hard. She would have hit the ground if Kabir hadn't caught her on time. For a few seconds their eyes met. But they snapped back into reality soon.
"T are you mental! You could have hurt her" Kabir shouted at T.
"K! how can you support her'.I am your girlfriend'.not her" T screamed.
"You were! We are finished'.I cannot take you anymore'..we are over T" Kabir said with finality.
T looked outraged.
"No one ditches T ! You get that Rathod'.no one'.I will get back to you for this'.you two will pay" T shouted as she stomped away.
"You shouldn't have done that'.what if her feeling for you were genuine" Anky said shaking her head.
"Spare me''.T and genuine'.a second before you were the one feeling sorry for me" Kabir said
"T maybe a b***h but she too has a heart'..she just needs the right man to show her the right way" Anky said truthfully.
"And that is not me'..some one else will have to tame that shrew" Kabir said with a smile.
Anky smiled back
"I have something of yours" Kabir said. He opened the car dashboard and took out the bracelet. He decided to give it back now that she had shown guts to apologize.
"Oh thank God you found it Kabir...honestly I had forgotten about it...don't know what I would have done without it" Anky said with relief as she took back the bracelet.
"A gift I guess" Kabir said looking curious.
"Very special gift" Anky said with a smile.
