Kabir and Ananya spent most of their dates either at his home or at the beach. They had found a nice, isolated part of the beach where they could sit in each others arms, enjoy the waves and not fear having their privacy breached. Well the privacy issue was mainly Kabir's concern. He had never cared what the world said about him, what the media wrote about him. But everything changed the moment Ananya entered his life. He was fiercely protective of her and couldnt bare the ehought of anyone slandering her reputation.
It was for the same reason that he wanted to keep their relationship a secret from the office. He knew how bitchy office politics could get and with Malvika involved he shuddered to think what she'd do.
Ananya and Kabir were walking along the beach hand in hand enjoying the silence between them. Ananya was enjoying the waves crashing against her legs while kabir preferred walking on the sand. Ananya's mischievous side came to the fore and she decided to start splashing the water on kabir. Kabir was taken aback momentarily but soon recovered and starting splashing it back on her. They ran around the beach, laughing and shouting. Finally exhausted they sat down on the rocks.
Kabir: Thank you it's years since I experienced such pure, unbridled joy.
Ananya: I bring out the child in you, dont I?
Kabir: You do. ALso on the note of being childish, ananya you need to control your impulses some time. Today you almost let slip that we are dating each other to Ronnie.
Ananya: What's the big deal? Ronnie is my best friend. And I am tired of hiding things. We aren't doing anything criminal, you know?
Kabir: Of course I know. But you know office politics and Malvika and...
Ananya; You want our relationship under wraps. Yes say it a few times every day.
She started sulking.
Kabir: You know your cheeks turn red when you start sulking.
Hmm. So someone's very angry. Now how am I supposed to please her.
He slowly took out a rose and went on his knees and held it out to Ananya.
Ananya: You are a complete charmer, you know?
Kabir: And you are my life, you know?
Ananya: Come here lover boy.
She hugged him tightly and kissed him passionately.
Kabir: You are quite a lover girl yourself.
Ananya: Let's put the mutual admiration society on hold. You need to drop me home. Its getting late.
Kabir: Yes ma'am.
Next morning both Kabir and Ananya were in for a rude shock. The rival media channel had managed to get a picture of them kissing on the beach. The picture was blurry but they knew it was them
"Complete Woman's Man Kabir Sharma"
Keeping up with his track record, Kabir Sharma is once again having a fling with his junior.
They ran a panel discussion on what attracts young women to womanizers.
Guest 1: "Oh it's a give and take relationship."
Anchor: "What do you mean?"
Guest 1: "She sleeps with him. So he is happy. He advances her career. So she is happy"
Kabir flung the remote on the floor. He immediately called up his lawyer and got them to send a legal notice to the channel.
Kabir (thinks) Not again. They dont know who they have messed with. Nobody messes with me. Nobody says such things about Ananya.
He then called up Ananya.
Kabir: You are fine?
Ananya: Side effects of the business I guess. Ma was very upset. She's reminded of everything the media did to Papa. And now...
Kabir: Nothing will happen. They'll all back down. I promise I'll fix everything. You get to office. I'll be slightly late.
Ananya reached the office to find Malvika raging like a bull.
Malvika: Are toy crazy?! You and your boyfriend whoever he is cant keep a control over your impulses? Making out on the beach. And unnecessarily the media dragged Kabir into this.
Ananya realized that the photo wasn't clear and Malvika preferred believing that Kabir wasn't in the photo. Delusional woman.
Ananya: Enough Malvika. This is none of your business.
Malvika: I don't care a damn about you. But I won't let my Kabir's name get sullied.
Ananya: Your kabir? Are you crazy?
Kabir walked in. His eyes met ananya's and he nodded.
Ananya; For your information the person in the photo is Kabir, my boyfriend.
Malvika: HA! Oh thank god Kabir you are. Ms. Kashyap has taken leave of her senses. She thinks she is your girlfriend.
Kabir; SHe isn't my girlfriend.
Ananya was taken aback. Malvika smirked.
Kabir: She isn't just my girlfriend. She is the love of my life.
Malvika was speechless. Ignoring her completely he walked up to Ananya.
Kabir: Don't worry. They are pulling off the news and issuing an unconditional apology.
Ananya hugged him leaving Malvika boiling with rage.
Kabir: We have just one more matter to settle.
He went to Ananya's home with her. He sat beside her mother and spoke to her at length assuring her that Ananya was the love of his life and he was completely committed to her. Her mother remained quiet till Kabir spoke. WHEN he finished, she turned to Annaya
AM: When you decided to stay back in Delhi i had suspected that it had something to do with Kabir. I have to admit I was apprehensive given his divorcee status and the rumors surrounding him. But today I have no qualms in admitting that I was wrong.
He's a gem.
And my blessings are with the two of you.
She hugged Ananya. Kabir stood in the background happy to see the mother-daughter pair. He looked a tad wistful wishing his mother was still with him.
AM: Why are you standing there like a stranger? Come join the hug. And get used to it. We are a very expressive family taht loved hugging
Ananya added softly
"And you are now a part of the family."
