Note: I made a mistake of replacing word sting with string in Chapter 1. That created a confusion for many readers. I edited the part. The word string in Ananya's pov was used as synonym of tale.
Ananya stretched her hands on her bed. Her face was shimmering and her eyes were glittering with happiness. The happiness of spending some golden moments with him. She rolled herself and rested her face which has smile plastered on it. Then, her gaze falls on wall clock. " Ughhh! This Hickery Dickery Dock. I wish it would never be invented. It is supreme problem from many late risers like me. Now, the clock strikes eight, And I ran up office". She hurriedly made herself ready and reached dining table. Ananya didn't bother herself to sit down and have a breakfast with her family. She gulped down juice and picked up a toast. She bid bye to her family and called for cab.
She reached KKN basement and the clock is showing 5 minutes to 9. Ananya felt a spirit of tiger in her and she ran in full velocity. She saw a door of lift coming close to each other and then the tigress run in full speed and she succeeded in putting her foot between doors. She took a deep sigh but her breath stopped to witness the man in shades of black checking his cell for something. He looked to perceive the person who had done audacity of stopping the lift and he smiled to look at her.
Kabir: I should have guessed that it's you. Undoubtedly, you are the only person who can perform such deed.
Ananya: I have to do such acts till you remain so complicated.
Kabir: You called me complicated.
Ananya: Of course. I advise you to update your status and write I am complicated' on your profile page.
Kabir: On a condition that you write I am daredevil' on your profile page. Daredevil' ..Suits on you. I'll call you daredevil privately.
Ananya: Ha Ha Ha...Very funny Kabir Sir.
Then the lift doors open on their office floor. They went to their respective place. Ananya was waiting for the result to come. She asked Ronnie about it and he informed that the mentors will be announced after a lunch break. Each second was accelerating her heart beat. She was looking at her watch at every two seconds. Then a peon told Ananya that Kabir was asking for her. She retired from her cubicle to his cabin.
Kabir: Yes Ananya. I was waiting for you. Do you remember human organ trafficking case in city hospital?
Ananya: The same case in which you disguised as a doctor.
Kabir: Yes. I am talking about that case. Inspector Khurana have to submit the information in the court. So, he asked me if we could submit the reports of the case.
Ananya: Ok Sir. I will submit it till evening.
Kabir: Thank you.
Ananya: Anything else Sir.
Kabir: Yes. Is there any problem with you?
Ananya: No Sir. Why are you feeling so?
Kabir: Sit down Ananya.
Now, tell me...What's the problem? I am trustworthy and you can confide in me.
Ananya: Sir, I am scared about mentorship. I don't want to work under Manav Sir.
Kabir: Itni si baat. If you worked under Manav, then I will try my level best to change him.
Ananya: Thanks sir.
Then, the bell announced the lunch break. She departed from his cabin to cafeteria. She couldn't eat properly. After an hour, the break got over. Ananya heart beat became faster. She proceeded to notice board. She crossed her finger and took a deep breath to calm herself. She observed the list and was delighted to watch it.

KKN News Channel
Sunny: Oye hoye..Mataji is going to work with Pitaji.
Ananya : Chup kar ja...
Sunny decided to keep his mouth shut. Ananya was relived after reading the notice. She was so happy that she can jump 1000 feet in excitement. She collected her documents and smiled in a hope that she will get a chance to prove her worth and also her father's virtue.
On the other hand, Kabir received a letter from administrative staff of KKN news channel. He took an envelope from peon and tore it .He took out the letter which stated the following words.
To,
Kabir Sharma
The Editor-in-Chief
KKN News Channel
Delhi
Dear Sir,
It is to inform that we projected you as a mentor of Ananya Sharma in her internship project. Please notify your confirmation to us.
Administrative Head
KKN News Channel
Kabir smiled while reading the letter. He loved the typing mistake of replacing Kashyap with Sharma but he ignored his further thoughts and didn't waste a second in signing the letter to approve their proposal.
Kabir's reply
The Administrative head
KKN News Channel
Delhi
Sir,
I accepted your proposal of being a mentor of Ananya Kashyap'. I assure you that I will guide her whenever she needed and make sure that she will complete her project honestly and sincerely.
Kabir Sharma
Editor-in-Chief
KKN News Channel
Kabir put the letter back in envelope and handed it to peon to submit in administration. Then his gaze fall on Ananya who was chirping with her friends. His lips curved and the eyes fixed on her. She was looking at his cabin numerous times. Today, she wanted to share her excitement with him but she was stopped by her associates in between. She couldn't stop herself in taking her steps quickly to his cabin.
She couldn't control her exhilaration and wrapped her arms around him. Kabir was bit shocked by this sudden event but keeping his thought aside, he responded by hugging her. Ananya wanted to remain in his arms as long as he can but realizing Kabir's uneasiness, she broke the hug.
Ananya: I am so happy today. I can't tell you Sir. I am your intern...Thank you Sir for suggesting me as your intern.
Kabir: Well it's good that you are happy but I didn't suggest you. I couldn't do it till the list was out.
Ananya: It means that they genuinely selected you as my mentor. They felt that we are perfect for each other...
Kabir: What???
Ananya: I mean professionally, we are perfect for each other. Do you know I was going to suicide when someone said that my chances were more as Manav's intern? If it is done, then I would resign immediately.
Kabir: I will not let you die so easily. Do you know what? I am very strict mentor.
Ananya: I am very strict reporter too.
Kabir and Ananya broke down into laugh. Ananya stopped to cackle when she looked at his face. His chuckles and those eyes which were then full of happiness was more amazing sight of Ananya. His happiness was the best emotion of her life. His smile makes her day. Suddenly, Kabir stopped and lost himself in the beauty of her smile. Then, someone knocked the door and they came out of their world. It was peon who came to inform him about meeting organized by Khalid. He nodded and then his cell phone buzzed and flashed Laxman. Kabir picked the phone and Laxman informed him about an accident done by a VVIP's son.
Kabir: I got news of hit and run case in Basant Vihar area. The accident is done by Bhanu Pratap's son.
Ananya: Bhanu Pratap is Member of Parliament from Basant Vihar. Are you talking about him?
Kabir: Yes. I want you to cover the story. One more thing, I am working on industrialist Ravikant murder case. I want you to assist me. So, can you accompany me at my residence?
Ananya: It's alright Sir. I'll inform my mother that I may come late at night.
Kabir: Join me at my house after the office.
Ananya: Fine Sir. I'll come at 10:30.
Kabir was preparing his glass for a hard drink and then he heard a knock on the door. He gave an irritating look and strolled to open the door. He peeped through his key hole and saw the face of a girl which was unknown reason of his happiness. Kabir didn't waste a second to open the door and offered Ananya to come inside the house. Ananya inspected his whole domicile with her eyes and appreciate his choice with her smile.
Ananya: Nice house Sir and remarkable choice too. Your interior is simply classy.
Kabir: I didn't pay much attention on home decor but if you like it, then it might look good. By the way thank you.
Ananya: You shopped for your household stuff without thinking. That's incredible.
Kabir: Whether you believe it or not but I bought it without thinking much.
Ananya: Fine...btw what were you doing?
Kabir: I was checking your documents.
Ananya: Ohhh ! Really..Then what's this..Cough Syrup???
Kabir: Wo to mai bore ho raha tha. I was not expecting you tonight. It's already late.
Ananya: I had some work to finish. But don't worry; I informed my mother that I might come late or next morning.
Kabir: OK.Now, first of all let me check your documents and then we will work.
Ananya: I'll wait till then. Where is Tarini?
Kabir: She has gone out of town to meet her relatives.
Ananya: Ok.
Kabir <turning her certificates>: Hey you studied from St. Francis College of Journalism. We shared same college.
Ananya: I know sir. I was doing my graduation and you were doing your post graduation. You were popular in college and I had crush on you.
Kabir: What??? You had crush on me.
Ananya realized what she had actually said and she tried to look here and there. She got relived when she heard his laughter. "Not a big deal. Many girls had crush on me" Kabir replied. Ananya giggled to accompany him in his elation. Kabir commanded her to come in his bedroom as all of his stuffs were there. Ananya and Kabir squatted on his bed with lots of file, folders and his laptop.
Kabir: I think someone murdered him for business rivalry.
Ananya: I don't think so.
Kabir: Even I am feeling so but I am not understanding that why someone killed Ravikant Mehra. He was such a nice person. I hadn't heard any news of his personal strife. But if I consider professional basis, he had many opponent.
Ananya: I had heard that he was married to a girl of 23 three years ago and he was himself of 60 then.
Kabir: Nice Point but we can't blame her without any evidence. I mean that she cared for husband a lot and she was also in shock after his death.
Ananya: C'mon Sir. You know what she was just acting. Think practically Sir. Mr. Kant is same age of his wife's father and also his son is two years elder than his wife. Do you think that the lady actually loved him? I had studied human psychology in journalism and even you had studied the same subject. Physical satisfaction is tough in age difference of 37.
Kabir: Great Ananya. I am impressed. You solved the mystery in the way I hope. My first doubt is always on his wife. I mean the age difference of 6 -7 years has created differences on this problem and this couple had the difference of 37.
Ananya: Who the hell said that the age of difference of 6-7 years is much? Let's take our example: You may be of nearly 6 when I was born. What were you doing then?
Kabir: I was learning to write my own name.
Ananya: So, how can you say that the age difference is much? Even my parents had the same difference and look ... I am here standing in front of you. (In whispering tone which was inaudible for Kabir) I wish that I may have your part in my lap after few years.
Kabir: Fine. Ab itna mat bhadko..
Then the duo heard the sound of natural shower on earth. Ananya couldn't help herself from running to balcony and feeling the rain drop on her palms. She was playing with the love of Mother Nature and the love of this mother arouse a child which was hidden somewhere in her. Kabir asked her if she needed a coffee and she replied in affirmative. He went from there leaving Ananya with her unique companion. He returned back after 5-7 minutes and she was yet busy in chatting with her friend. He didn't want to disturb her but he also didn't want this chit-chat harmful for her. So, he finally decided to bother her. He tapped on her shoulder which made her to look him and he handed over a coffee mug to her.
Ananya: Heyy Thanks! Where is yours?
Kabir: I have my other plans.
Ananya: I know which plans you are talking about?
Kabir: Good. You enjoy your drink and let me have mine.
Ananya snatched his bottle from his hand and left him awe-struck.
Kabir: Heyy ! What was that?
Ananya: You have two options Sir. Either you have coffee or you have this bottle.
Kabir: Obviously..Second option.
Ananya: Let me complete my sentence. I have one condition also..I will accompany you in whatever you prefer.
Kabir: Then I'll go with first option. It's not so easy to handle you when you drunk. Then, how can I handle you when I will be in the same condition. I don't know that how will I ended up with you?
Ananya: What can you do Sir?
Kabir: What if I killed you or I harmed you somehow in anger? I can't take a risk to lose you. I mean that I will feel guilty of decreasing stupidity from the world.
Ananya: Even I don't want to die virg*n.
Kabir : You are really an extrovert.
Ananya: And you are so introvert.
Ananya made an enough of teasing' face and Kabir passed his signature smirk. They both sat down to have their coffee.
Kabir: You have to come on honeymoon with me.
Ananya: What's the case Sir?
Kabir: Have you heard the name of Hotel Royal Crown..
Ananya: Who hadn't heard its name? It's one of the largest 5 star franchises in Asia.
Kabir: Yes. I came to know that the hotel staff is capturing private moments of their customers and selling it on high price.
Ananya: Really Sir. Such a prestigious hotel will do such acts for some thousands of money.
Kabir: P*rn industry is not a game of thousands Ananya. It's million dollar game. Being a journalist, you better know that how much person can stoop low to earn money.
Ananya : We are not going to have...you know what I mean..
Kabir : Do you think me insane? We will just act.
Ananya: Hmmm
Kabir: Aren't you listening me?
Ananya: No...I am listening you. Actually I want to go upstairs...I want to feel the magic of rain.
Kabir: Fine. Chalo.
Kabir took Ananya on terrace and she got animated to see the shower. She ran in the open leaving Kabir under the shade. Ananya danced like a maniac. She forgot the world around and Kabir couldn't take his eyes off from her.
Kabir's Pov
OH God!! This girl always left me amazed. His smiling face is like a beautiful painting and her chuckling voice is like a melodious music. I can see her feeling each and every drop of rain on her body. One of the drops touched his temple and then it slide through her lid to her lips. I wish my finger could replace this drop. I want to taste the same drop from her lips. Then I saw her smiling at me. She was inviting me continuously to join her but I was busy in scrutinizing her beauty. Then I felt her soft hands on my shoulder and she dragged me in rain with her. I never enjoyed rain as much as I am doing now. In fact, I was one of those who curse rain but from today onwards, I love rain.
Ananya pulled him to get pleasure from rain. Kabir felt nice when he experienced the magic of downpour. Somebody in neighborhood played the song Kabhi Jo Baadal Barse: Jackpot'. Ananya asked Kabir if he could dance with her and he agreed. He took her hands in his and rolled her to collide with his broad chest. She felt a shiver down her body to sense the heat of his body. They danced slowly but soon it turned into passionate one. Ananya cease her increasing desires and giggled to brought him out to the reality.
Ananya: Sir you are great dancer. Aur kya kya chupa kar rakha hai apne andar.
Kabir: Enough of dancing now. Let's go down otherwise we will catch cold. Aur phir ho gaya honeymoon hum dono ka. Voh Kal Tak wale hi honeymoon banayenge.
Ananya : Don't worry Sir honeymoon to humara hi hoga aur No.1 bhi hum hi rahenge.
They both went down and Kabir tried to open his cupboard but it was so obdurate to open. After the hard work of half an hour, he backed off. Then something stroke in his mind and he took out the bag kept beside the table. It had a pair of tee and track pant that he kept for next day trip. He asked her to wear tee as it was long enough and he dressed himself in track pant. Ananya went inside the washroom to change and Kabir got the time to change. Ananya returned to the room after few minutes and saw Kabir lighting the fire at fireplace.
Ananya's Pov
He is so hot. He is as sexy as Greek god whom I want to worship for my whole life. I couldn't take my eyes off his well built up body which is shining like gold due to reflection of light. I felt his gawk on me when I was praying about him. I am feeling my legs going weak with his gazes. Control yourself Ananya. Don't forget your limits.
Kabir's Pov
She is looking more beautiful in my t-shirt. It suited on her better. Her fair skin is glittering by reflection of both moonlight and fire light. She is looking like pixie tonight. Then, I noticed my laptop and I remembered that I had to work. I asked her to sit beside me and complete the task.
Kabir was guiding her and she was typing it on laptop. Kabir didn't realize when he fell asleep and she too realized his position when she asked some query and didn't get respond. She smiled to see the innocence on his face and ruffled his hairs. She continued her work and when it was completed, she occupied space beside him as there is no another stuff except bed for having a rest. When the night was at its pinnacle and the rain was excited, the surrounding got bit chilly to brought two individuals together but the Mother Nature itself knows that they still needed some time to become one soul. This is right time for only realizing them the sensation of each other's presence and they executed the order of Mother Nature. Kabir kept his arm round her waist while sleeping and she also placed her hand on his to tighten his grip on her unknowingly. They loved to love each other in their sub conscious state. They just wanted to forget the distance they shared in conscious state and want to sink in deep sleep to feel the more proximity between them...
