Prologue
Ananya crashed into his open arms and started weeping
I am sorry Kabir I am sorry, she hid her head in his chest and cried.
Kabir patted her hair and said,' Ananya stop crying, you know I can't bear your tears'
Ananya raised her head and he wiped her tears, I humiliated you so much and still you can say such kind things to me?? You should shout at me
Ananya, you mean the world to me, you are my happiness, my life, my everything. There is nothing to shout for. Your anger was justified'
He cupped her face in his hands and wiped off her tears. Then he kissed her eyes, her cheeks and finally her lips. He then raised his head and said ,'Ananya , I missed you so much'
Ananya smiled and as she was about to reply she looked into his eyes. Though there was a smile on his lips but his eyes showed so much pain that her heart turned over. She knew in that moment that no amount of words of love she spoke would reduce the pain. She knew that only her actions, her devotion and her continues love would reduce this pain gradually. She hugged him tightly and vowed to give him so much love that he will forget these few days. She promised herself that she will fill his life with happiness, laughter and colour.
I love you Kabir she said simply and tightened the hug'
They stood like that for what seemed like a timeless eternity till someone cleared there throat in the distance. They broke the hug and saw Richa and baby staring smilingly at them
All of them joked and laughed for a while and then everyone went back to there work
KKN was back to normal' Ananya mused as she worked on her new story on current politics of the nation. An earthquake had hit KKN but now things were back to normal. Sort of , she reminded herself as one thing was still remaining and that was making Kabir believe in her love again. Ananya knew they were together again because Kabir could not bear to be parted from her but a part of him had not forgiven her for distrusting him and not listening to him. A part of him was still hurting because of her behaviour.
Ananya felt like kicking herself for her stupidity and decided that she will make Kabir believe in her love again. 'You have no chance when I put on the charm Mr Sharma'
She picked up her phone and started Operation Kabir Shirma
Part -1
Ananya called up a number and when she heard a female voice she said,' Hi Tarini I called you up because I wanted the spare Keys of Kabir's Apartment...
Kabirs's Cabin
Kabir smiled and leaned back in his chair. He felt content. At last that one thing which haunted him for the past eight years was settles. Justice was done . And the best part was that his Ananya was with him again.
Ananya...His smile widened at the thought of Ananya. She had brought so much happiness into his life. She had made him feel alive again. He impulsive behaviour sometimes took him by surprise but it also made him feel fresher and younger . He had never thought it was possible to love another person to this degree. If someone else had told him , he would never have believed them. His feelings for Ananya went deeper than human attractions and affections. His feelings for her bordered on the divine. Now he understood what all those songs and literature was all about which depicted love as similar to worship.
It was true that she had made him go through hell, these last few days but he could not be angry with her. Not for long anyways. The trust was that he would let her get away with murder such was the intensity of his love for her.
But does she love you in the same way'? His heart questioned him.
Off course she does' He quietened the silly doubtful voice of his heart' She can die for me'
But if she does why did she not trust you? His heart persisted
Because it was about her father and her separate wait for justice for him for eight years
His phone rang and he grabbed at it in relief so that his heart could not go further on that questioning line.
Kabir picked up the phone and looked at Ananya's name flashing across the careen. Immediately his spirits lifted . Just looking at her name flash across his mobile careen brought happiness to his heart.
"Hi Sweetheart' He picked up the phone and murmured into it
Kabir' She said: I am stuck here with Tinnu about this story I was telling you about in the morning and then Ma wants me to come with her to a friends house. So I wont be coming back to the office"
"Oh, no problem work is more important Ananya' He said trying to keep the siappointment away from his voice.
"We will have dinner together tomorrow?" Asked Ananya
" Sure" He said
" Ok then , goodnight"
"Goodnight" Kabir replied
Oh Kabir? Said Ananya will you give me a ring once you reach home?
" Yes sure, love you sweetheart" said Kabir. And Ananya hung up
She didn't even say I love you too you, a voice in his heart said
Oh just shut up' He told that voice She has been under a lot of strain lately and its not always important to say such mundane things
Though Kabir admitted to himself that he was disappointed because he was looking forward to spending some quality time with his Ananya. After the separation of the past few days he was craving so much for her that his heart ached with it. He just wanted to be with her. To see her smile. To feel her near him. Buy I should give her time , he told himself. She has gone through a horrendous experience. She had told me in the morning that she loved me hadn't she??? He has waited for her for so many days . What does one more day matter.
But doesn't she want to be with you the way you want to be with her???' His heart again started asking doubt filled questions
Oh just shut up' he told his heart off course she wants to be with me but work comes first and it's something I only have taught her'
With that he concentrated on the preparation of his bulletin and decided to keep the doubtful thoughts away from his mind
Kabir's apartment
Anabya stood in the middle of the sitting room and marvelled at her creativity. Kabir I am sure you are going to be surprised, she thought with a smile. Just then the door bell rang, that must be the food I ordered.
After taking the exotic Italian food from the delivery guy she stared laying the table and while doing so her thoughts went to Kabir. She just wished he would come fast. She wanted to be worth him. After the separation of the past few weeks she craved his company so much her heart ached.
But you have been so unkind to him Ananya' her heart told her.' In your own agony and pain you forgot his agony and pain. How could you be so insensitive'
I will make it up to him. He loves me. He will forgive me'
He has already forgiven you, in fact he doesn't think there is anything to forgive. But do you deserve such love?'
I will prove myself worthy of his love said Ananya. I will give him so much love that he will forget the pain and anguish of these past days. I will never leave him again' Ananya vowed and busied himself with her preparation
KKN green room
After the bulletin Kabir removed is makeup and readied to leave. Manav congratulated him on another successful bulletin. Kabir was glad KKN was back on track again but he wished another person was here and he could drop her home. But that was not to be, at least not tonight. With dejected steps he walked towards the car. He would call her up when he reached home, he thought. Maybe she would tell him that she loved him and maybe on a off chance she would ask him to pick her up tomorrow morning
Kabir's Apartment
Kabir opened his apartment door wishing he was somewhere else. He stopped in his tracks as he saw his entire apartment decorated with candles and the girl of his dreams standing in the middle of the room dressed in a red Chiffon saree. Kabir gassed for breath as he saw her smile
Good evening sweetheart she said ...
