chapter-----2
pratigya rushed up the stairs,tripping on her way to reach the fourth floor..she had to meet krishna frst.. she didnt evn have the patience to wait for the lift.... at last she reached there..... on the fourth floor... while hurrying towards krishna's cabin... she noticed that the corridor was a bit more crowded than usual.. as she swept passed the crowd she noticed two police officers...interrogating the receptionist.. she stopped... and looked at them suspiciously...
wat r the police doing here?----she thot....-----maybe a routine check...after all... she shrugged and ran towards krishna's cabin... pushing the door,she went inside.. she wasnt evn in a mood to knock....
krishna!!!!!-----she called out to him....
there he was,sitting on his favourite chair....rocking back and forth,his back turned at her.. bt her voice made him spin around..-----tum???----he sounded surprised.....
it was then pratigya realised that she had broken off with him and she needed to behave formally.....
uh...----she cleared her throat------woh...sir....aajka jo meeting dopahar ko honewali thi....uske liye humne presentation tayar kar li hain.....
as she eyed krishna carefully,she noticed a smirk playing on his lips... he got up frm his chair and walked towards her,slowly.... she tried to look away..bt her eyes cntinued to end up on him.....until he came really close......
sir..------she took a step back and handed him the file------the presentation.... he took the file and tossed it on the table without evn glancing at it for once.....
before she cud thnk of anythng to say he put his arms around her waist and pulled her against himself....she felt herself being crushed into him and tried to keep some distance between them with her hands.....
pratigya-----krishna....chodo hume.....plzzzz
krishna------to akhir SIR se KRISHNA tak ka safar chota hi nikla.......
pratigya,still struggling--------wat do u mean?
krishna gave out a shrewd laugh and tighened his grip around her...she felt suffocated.....
then he moved his face forward and whispered into her ears----u know wat i mean....u wanted to leave me ryt? u wanted to leave me alone.....I WILL NT LET U.....U UNDERSTAND? U CAN NVR LEAVE ME....... his voice sounded as if it was coming frm far off-------I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE...........
LEAVE MEE-----she pushed him away at last......breathing heavily..... her hair was all in tangles and her face had become red in anger..... this was the only thng left for him to do...... to force himself on her..... tears came to her eyes so she turned away frm him.....by no ways she was going to show him her weaknesses evr agen.... he had reached too far......
wen he spoke,his tone had completely changed-------pratigya....am sorry....hum aaj ke meeting mein nhi aa payenge......am nt feeling well....tum...tum clints ko samjha dena plzzz......
she turned back at him,her voice full of concern------kya hua hain tumhe?
he tossed back his head on the chair------no idea..... i am feeling so dreadful.......!!!
suddenly pratigya remembered her dream......she shuddered.....
slowly,she stepped closer to him.....
pratigya-----baat kya hain krishna?
krishna------natak mat karo aur jao yahanse......
now she understood.....
pratigya------krishna tum kabtak......i mean...why dont u just........i mean.... she gulped-------move on...?
krishna's reply was short and to the point-------cnt....
pratigya sighed... there was no point in arguing with him...... she was abt to leave the chamber wen suddenly he said------cn u move on pratigya?
she turned....uncertain of wat to say.....
krishna repeated------cn u move on without me.....? his voice sounded pleading and sorrowful
...enough to melt pratigya down.... she knew it.....she knew it pretty well.. krishna cud play really good with his tone of talking......and agen he was getting her in......
she swallowed-----ya....ya...i cn...thats why....i broke off with u...coz.....
krishna completed her sentence------u cnt live WITH me..ryt? she nodded...keeping her eyes on the floor.....
he chuckled----well...in that case.....u cnt evn do WITHOUT me.....
pratigya looked up at him,shocked as well as amazed-----how cud he know me so well? she said to herself....
krishna took up the file he had tossed on the table and went thru it.... then he said-----pratigya...tum apne aap ko jitna smart samajhti ho...utna tum ho nhi....ye file aaj ki presentation ki nhi balki ek purani project ki file hain......
pratigya was shocked out of her wrds.....----oh my god....i brot the wrong file..did i? she wondered....
krishna's smile widened-------tum bas hume dekhna chahti thi hain na? isiliye ye sare bahane banayi......kyun?
pratigya was silent...what shud she say...he was ryt after all....bt she hadnt brot the wrong file on purpose..it was just a mistake....
krishna------c'mon now...admit it sweetheart..u wanted to meet me.....
pratigya------woh...actually....i was....worried abt u......
krishna-----worried abt me? kyun? hume kya hua hain......wait a min......did u thnk.......am gonna.......oh my god...... he laughed out loudly... the big cabin almost echoed with the sounds of his laughter------u thot i wud perhaps KILL MYSELF.....????? give me a break pratigya...u know me well...... am nt such a coward......ya......
he came over to her and clutched her shoulders and looked into her eyes------i wont kill myself bt i cn kill others for ur sake.......thats me......!!!!!
pratigya shook like a leaf,terrified out of her senses.... the old krishna was coming back agen......
pratigya----k...krishna...u r hurting me.....
he let her go at once,his expression changing... he looked at her arms,red marks had appeared due to his tight grip..... worried...he touched her there gently and murmered-----sorry pratigya.....u...u..better leave...am...am nt feeling well....... he turned away and went back to his chair........
pratigya dint know wat to do... it felt miserable to see him in such a state...it luked like as if he was fighting with himself......
perhaps-----she thot-----perhaps he knows the reason why i left him.....perhaps he wants to change after all.....is it so...? does he want to change....?
she dint know why...bt she was soon there by his side..... she put her fingers into his hair lovingly-------krishna?
he opened his eyes and smiled dryly-----tum gayi nhi...?
she knelt down beside him and touched his arm------try to understand me......i cnt live like this.....i love u...bt...i cnt LIVE with u......u make my life miserable with ur aggressiveness...ur possessiveness....plzzz try to become gentler....i promise....i wud make u happy........
krishna-----i knew it.....bt why did u leave home then?
pratigya avoided his intense gaze-----i...i....want to live separately for some time....i need some time........U need some time......
krishna sighed------its okay....take all the time u want....after all.......U CNT LEAVE ME.......
pratigya got up,disgusted------there u go agen....why do u keep chanting this over agen and agen that i cnt leave u...i cnt leave u..... listen Mr...krishna singh...i CN leave u if i want.......do u get it? so u better be good and normal so that i cn consider my decision........
she stormed out of his cabin,fuming in anger...bt krishna remained cool and calm........
outside she almost collided with vinay,her collegue(played by vinay rajput aka tunna)....
vinay------pratigya woh.......
pratigya stopped him midway------plzz vinay...am in no mood for a chat..... she started walking..... he followed her------are pratigya hamari baat to suno.......woh krishna......
pratigya-------uska to naam hi mat lo tum....woh.......woh....samajhta kya hain apne aap ko? wat dus he thnk of himself? he thnks i cnt LEAVE him? well......I CN IF I WANT TO........i cn do anythng i want........kehta hain aaj meeting par nhi payega...well its his wish...main kisine kuch nhi kahungi...am nt his bloody P.A....woh khud keheka.....ya mafi mangega........... she kept on blabbering,nt evn noticing that vinay was no longer by her side..... he stood way behind her,staring at her with a dumbstruck expression on his face.........
.
............................................................................................
pratigya was inside her own cabin,going thru some files wen suddenly her mobile rang....she saw it was rolli...
she picked it up-----bol...kya baat hain....?
rolli-----pratigya? her voice sounded tensed and panicked.....
pratigya----rolli baat kya hain....tu itna pareshan kyun lag rahi hain....?
rolli----pratigya tu hain kahan?
pratigya-----office mein aur kahan....?
rolli-----office mein?tu....tu...wahan kya kar rahi hain?

pratigya------haan...woh.....presentation deni thi....... she lied to her best frnd.....
