I love Khalid and as Avantika said in her analysis he is a closet KaYa shipper.
She headed to Khalid's cabin not sure what she going to say. All she knew was she wanted to tell Kabir how she felt and courtesy Khalid he was in a different country! So not cool!
She took a day off and the entire office had gone topsy turvy - Kabir arrived drunk for his bulletin and met with an accident. Malvika had grown extra pair of horns. Manav was extra bitchy.
Khalid was shipping injured people to Singapore!
She didn't wait to knock at the door and just stormed in his cabin.
' Oh Ananya! Pleasant surprise '- Khalid peeked from behind his glasses.
'I'm not sure it will be that pleasant for you'- she didn't have the patience for niceties.
' Why have you sent Kabir sit to Singapore?'- she asked him
' aum tum yeh janana chahti ho kyonki...'- he stopped expecting her to finish
' Khalid Sir. He is injured , he needs rest and not some tiring flight journey with a hectic week there'- she rambled
' Oh Ananya! Woh mera bada beta hai. Main usse hamesha business class bhejta hun. Aur yeh trip hafte ka nahn hai bus teen din ka ha'- he smirked enjoying her discomfort.
' Aur waise bhi he is not alone there. I have an associate Kiara she will be helping him around'- he intentionally stressed on Kiara
' Kiara ? Who Kiara ? Why could not you have accompanied him? He is with a complete stranger '- she was this close to jumping on the desk and strangulating Khalid.
' She is not a stranger. She is a huge Kabir fan. I'm doing her a favour'- he informed staring at his manicured nails.
Oh great! Here she was restless to tell him how she felt. That she was just plain angry when she said that befriending him was a mistake.
Not only did she didn't have a chance to speak to Kabir , but he had a young beautiful girl fawning over him on this trip!
Only Khalid had to be blamed!
' I need to speak to him immediately. His Indian number is not working . give me some alternate number '- Ananya blasted him not caring he was the one giving her the salary.
Khalid smiled. So the majnu had his laila rattled. This was going to be fun. He genuinely liked Kabir. He needed a little fun and who better than hot headed Miss.Kashyap to do that!
' You know Ananya , just wait for three days he will resume his duties. Speak to him then.' - he played along.
' Aapko problem kya hai mere ko number dene mein?'- she questioned
' Darling! Kabir has specifically said that only if it anything urgent should he be contacted. For anything else speak to Manav or Malvika'
' Agar koi lead hai toh speak to Manav he will help you'- he said intentionally dismissing her.
' Bahut urgent kaam hai. I need to tell him something personal'- she quickly told him
' Personal? Do you need leaves ? I will sign on your leave application'- Khalid was loving this.
' Not leaves. I just need to speak to him'- she was desperate now
'Ananya sorry but Kabir was very specific about not ccontacting him if not very urgent '- he urged further.
' Of course it is urgent , you daft man. I need to tell him I love him'- she screamed at Khalid.
Great Ananya! Now Kahlid knows you live Kabir.
Khalid gave himself a mental pat on the back!
' well done Ananya! You were a much tougher nut to break. Kabir was easy'
' What do you mean ?'- she asked scared to believe that may be Kabir reciprocated her feelings.
' oh damn it ! Open your eyes. Usne tumhara naam galti se national television pe liya the he lands himself in the hospital. I told him he was in love and he just smiled. What do you want a tattoo on his head that he loves you'- Kahlid told her
' Really?' - oh God it all made sense now.
Khalid called Kabir and put him on speaker.
'Kabir how is Singapore?'
'Humid'- Kabir answered in a bored tone
' And how is Kiara?'
Ananya shot Khalid daggers as he posed the question
' have you heard the term Siamese twin? I had no clue that 16 year olds were so clingy'
Ananya looked at Khalid who had very conveniently forgotten to mention that Kiara was a 16 year old
' How is office?'- Kabir asked
' the usual. We are all missing you here'- Khalid told him lovingly
' We ?' - Kabir asked
' Some are missing you more than the others. Ananya said...oh before I forget did you my revised email?'- Khalid asked as he winked at Ananya
' What did she ssay?'- came Kabir's prompt reply
Ananya smiled. He wasn't a hopeless case afterall.
' I'm hurt Kabir. You chose to ignore my email'
' Cut the bull Khalid. What's with Ananya?'- Kabir asked in his no nonsesne tone.
' She is fine. She was just desperate to talk to you '- Khalid told
' Why '- Kabir asked
' Kabir as much as I love you I don't think I enjoy being this messenger. '
' c'mon Khalid you are not making sense. '- Ananya laughed at the desperation in Kabir's voice
' Kabir. I have a solution. If I tell you what she wanted to say , yoh would have to do 3 extra weekly bulletins'
Before Ananya could say anything , Kabir in a jiffy said 'Done'
' Oh she wanted to tell you that she loves you. And by the way she is here '- Khalid announced
' Hi !' - that's all Ananya could say
' Is it true ? Did Khalid say the truth?' - Kabir asked hopefully
' Yes'- for once Ananya was tongue tied
' Dammit woman! These are going to be the longest 72 hours'- he was irritated
' And Khalid, make that 4 extra bulletins with just half the bonus' - Kabir laughed on the phone and cut the call.
