Hey guys...
I have been having this thought from last night so decided to pen it down.
A short insight of the scene that we have missed to see :)
OS: The Other Side Of Coin
Sighing, Anita wiped her wet hands with the end of her dupatta before moving towards her room.
Ananya's gaze was felt by her throughout the time, urging her to turn and talk but this wasn't a time to talk. She knew, right now, whatever she has to say, will only end up nothing but hurt her daughter, even more.
Her thoughts were wayward and jumbled up. The event from the yesterday and today were so not matching, ending up making her confuse.
Locking the door from inside she sat on the bed and took hold of the picture of her beloved husband, Mr Sudhir Kashyap.
"Sudhir...mujhe kuch samjh nahi aa raha...jiss kasauti pe main Kabir ko parakhna chahti thi...us kasauti pe tau main khud hi khari ho gaye...Apni beti k bhawashay ko kaise sambhalon...usko kaise bachaoon main" She whispered giving a resigning sigh and layed down, closing her eyes, hoping to get her answers but right then.
The mobile beeped.
Taking a look of the number, she thought for a moment, her fingers vibrated with the phone before she decided to pick it up.
"Hello...Aunty..." Kabir voice from the other side could be heard clearly. The anxiousness in his tone was visible but she kept quiet, letting him say. She was tired of cutting him off.
"Aunty...I know app meri awaz sun rahi hain...main ye b janta hoon k app ne jo sharat aj rakhi uski wajha kia hai...par aunty, koi bhi kadam agay uthanay se pehle, main ye chahta hoon k main app se milon...kia...kia kal main apse milne aa sakta hoon?" He requested earnestly.
There was something in his voice that urged Anita to give him a chance. Somewhere her heart knew there is something more to the story of what Shreya told and giving a last look to Sudhir pic, she held the phone tightly, before saying.
"Theek hai...kal subah...Ananya k janay k baad tum aa sakte ho" And she cut the call without hearing his thank you.
Pushing the mobile away on bed, she clutched the sheet underneath in a tight grip.
"Sudhir, help me...Please" She said giving a painful look.
Where the woman in her was siding up with Shreya, the mother in her was provoking her to be confident of her daughter's choice.
The sun arise bringing a new day.
Atleast that's what Kabir thought while putting on his blue blazer.
Moving towards his cupboard, he took out his wallet and blue handkerchief which got secured into his pant pockets before he slightly opened the draw and grabbed the Ring Box, delivered to him just on the morning by the jeweler.
Opening it a bit, he took a look and dreamed how this will look on Ananya's "Thin Fingers".
"Intezar nahi kar sakta Ananya...ye dekhne ka k meri soch zyada khoobsurat hai k haqeeqat...likin us say pehle....*Closing the box, he put it away in the inner pocket of his blazer* kuch adhoori baaton ko poora karna hai" Taking a sigh, he closed the wardrobe and grabbing his car keys, made his way out to the door.
------------------------
Ananya was long gone. The clock was striking 10 and Anita eyes were constantly roaming between the door and the newspaper she was reading on to. But was she really reading it?
It was just a distraction to let the feeling of anxiousness, fear go away. But not even the breaking news were catching her attention.
Finally, the bell rang, making her spring up and rush to the door.
Correcting his blazer, Kabir looked at the open door before smiling and wishing Anita "A Good Morning".
"Morning...Come in" Giving away some space, Anita lead him in before motioning him to sit down.
"Chai, Coffee...kuch..." Anita questioned only to see Kabir shaking his head.
"Nahi aunty...App bus bethiye..." And Anita sat down on the single sofa, just opposite to him.
Kabir looked down and let his fingers entwined, building up his strength before looking up straight into her eyes.
"Aunty...Main nahi janta k app mere bare main, mere past k bare main kitna janti hain...Main ye bhi nahi janta k Shreya nay appko hamara past kis tarhan se bayan kia hai...par main bus itna chahta hoon k Hamari past ki Kahani ko agar app ne Shreya ki nazar se dekha hai tau aik bar, meri nazar se bhi dekhain...Har kahani k do ruh hotay hain...do nazariye hotay hain...par sach aik hi hota hai...Or main chahta hoon k app sachai ka faisla apne dil se karain..."
As he was looking out for her acceptance, Anita nodded her head, making him start on his story.
And Kabir, left nothing remain unsaid anymore.
Revising his past for the second time, that too infront of his Motherly Figure was a hard task but he knew, if he wish to be at peace in his further on life, he has to bear this pain.
Anita for once heard him out with an open mind but where on one side, she was getting confuse with the great contradictions on Shreya and Kabir versions, she was also wondering what is real.
What is the truth?
Wasn't Shreya right or was she taking advantage of her vulnerable state of mind. Or is it Kabir?
But one look at the man sitting in front, who claims to be madly in love with her daughter. The honesty, the pain everything was visible from his eyes.
And Anita knows what she has to do.
"Mujhpe yaqeen karain...Mera or Tarini ka wohi rishta hai jo Ananya or Ronnie ka hai...dosti ka...bharosay ka...Na is se zyada...Na is say kam..."
He was desperately trying to make her believe.
"Ananya ko apni zindagi main shamil karne se pehle hi main usay apnay or Shreya k past k bare main batana chahta tha...likin us nay hamesha kaha k usay farak nahi parta...usay aj main jeena hai...guzre kal main nahi... ankahin band kar k bharosa karti hai wo...likin main ye bhi janta hoon, ankhain band karne se sachai nahi badal jati...or ye bhi, k wo chahy mujhpe ankhain band kar k vishwas kare...app nahi kar saktin...aik Ma apnay bachay ki rag rag se waqif hoti hai...uske liye pareshan hoti hai...uski bhalai k liye kissi bhi had tak ja sakti hai... aik anjanay shakhs pe sirf bharosa kar k apnay jisam ka aik hissa nahi thama sakti...is liye..."
Kabir inhaled a deep breath before taking out the box from his pocket and placed it on the table between.
"Aj us say us ka haath mangne se pehle...Main appse us ka haath mangna chahta hoon...Ananya k liye appki khushi bohut matter karti hai...or mere liye wo har cheez matter karti hai jiss main Ananya ki khushi ho..."
Anita gave him a precise look. Her hands were itching to grab the box but somewhere she was hesitant too.
Kabir understood it and placing a stone over his already tender heart, said
"App agar Na karain gi tau yaqeen maniye, main khud peeche hat jaoon ga...App ko yaan Ananya ko meri wajha se koi mushkil nahi aye gi..." He promised.
Anita bend ahead and took hold of the box. Her eyes rose up to Kabir before she opened the box.
Kabir kept on looking at her face while she examined the ring. The sight gave him hope. Anita's eyes were as much shinning as he usually have seen of Ananya, when she is excited about something but all hopes dashed, when Anita closed the lid and pushed the box back to him.
Dejected, Kabir pursed his lips in order to control the anguish that was building inside him.
Torn. That what he felt.
Grabbing the box firmly in his fist before getting up. His eyes watered as the feeling of loss dawned on him.
He turned away quickly.
"Mujhe chalna chahiye..." He could utter just these words with strained voice before his heavy steps made him move towards the exit.
But then, he heard the voice.
"Ring acchi hai" and his steps stopped.
*A Pause* "Par Ananya ki ungli main zyada acchi lagay gi...Nahi" Kabir turned around within seconds. Tilting her head, Anita was standing with a teasing smile and that smile, instantly made him get back his happiness.
"Sach?" He questioned only to see Anita putting forward her hands in which he lands right in.
"Thank you...Thank you so much" He whispered while still being engulfed in that motherly hug.
"Zuban jhoot bol sakti hai Kabir...par ankhain nahi...or tumhari ankhon main mujhe Ananya k liye bus beinteha pyaar nazar aata hai" Anita replied and felt a heavy weight lifted up from her conscious.
"Main wada karta hoon...appke is bharosay ko tootne nahi doon ga...Apni zindagi se zyada is waaday ki hifazat karoon ga" And Anita just pulled him down to kiss his forehead.
Just then Kabir mobile buzzed, making him know that Ananya is waiting. Kabir smiled and showed Anita the mobile with a silly grin.
"Chaliye tayar ho jaiye...App ko abhi mere saath chalna hai...Armaan kahan hai..." Kabir hurriedly asked after cutting the call.
"Armaan...wo tau abhi college k liye nikalne wala hoga...or jana kahan hai..." Anita wondered.
"Apne hi kaha tha...k sab k samne Ananya se engagement karoon...is liye...apka and Armaan ka aj wahan hona zaroori hai..." Kabir's excitement just rubbed on Anita as she rushed back into her room after asking Armaan to get ready as His Jeeju is going to propose His Di.
Kabir heard the excited "Wohooo" from the room and a huge smile got placed on his lips before he took out the mobile and dialed Ronnie's number.
"Haan Ronnie...Ananya office pohanch gaye...Nahi...Ok...Haan main bus abhi ata hoon...Aik request karni thi yaar...Please can you make sure k jab main office pohanchon tau sab main lounge main hoon...special? hmmm...Woh...*Scratching his temple* Main sab k samne Ananya ko propose karna chahta hoon...*Pushing away mobile for the mins to let the screaming go off* Bus Ronnie...mera kaam kar do...baad main jitna marzi chaho...cheekho chilaoo...haha...ok Bye"
Kabir once again opened the box after slipping the mobile in his back pocket of pants.
"Get ready for the surprise Ananya...And I promise...tumhari zindagi ka best surprise hoga"
---------From here the scene continues to Ananya getting back to KKN and getting her leg pulled by friends before EPIC Proposal...hehe...
