Part One
"KABIR" Hearing her calling out, he had stopped just right outside the elevators of their office. His shoulders were down as if he has lost something huge even after the win of exposing the truth of her father's murder. He turned around on hearing her muffed gasps.
"Engagement main appne papa se promise kia tha na...k unki beti ka saath dain gay...tau abh??" She said out loud only to see him feeling dejected as if he felt guilty on getting reminded by his not to be fulfilled promise.
"I know appne kabhi mera saath nahi chora...Main hi bewaqoof thi...par abh...papa se dantt parwao gay kia...?" Her voice was childishly sweet and whiny. Few tear drops had already made there way to her cheeks which he so hate. She was almost ready to beg for forgiveness only to see his plain face brightening up with a smile and HOPE!.
His arms opened the next instant, waiting for her to fall and to her, it seemed that a new life has been granted to her by the above one.
Anita pushed open the door and rushed in, calling her name.
"Ananya...Anu...kia howa...beta...Ananya" She sat down on the bed beside her. Her trembling fingers quickly held her daughter in her arms, only to find her body shaking up with bitter cries.
"Ma...Maa...Please app Kabir ko rokiye na...Wo...Wo ja rahay hain Ma...Please Ma...Kabir ko rokiye...Wo appko Ma kehte hain na...Ma kehte hain na...tau appki baat kaise tallain gay...Unhay...Unhay roko Maa..." Her throat clogged with emotions as she said it between her cries. Tears streaming down her face and all Anita could do was hold her close.
Regret and guilt was taking over her ownself. Somewhere, she was too responsible for the hurt and pain, both of her children were going through.
If, only if she had trusted Kabir enough to not judge him without him explaining things.
Wasn't he the one who came straight away to take her permission for his and Ananya relation. Wasn't he the one who was pushing Ananya to hear about his past. Then shouldn't he be the one she should have turn to confront rather than approaching Shreya, a complete stranger.
"Maa...Unko bolo na mujhse baat karain...please Maa..." but a helpless Anita couldn't do anything just to caress her back, hoping that it will bring some comfort to her daughter, unknown to her that the only source of comfort was sitting miles away from them.
-----------------------------
Working on his desktop, reviewing the current news, Kabir took a sigha nd leaned back on his chair with closed eyes.
"Meri special wali smile..." He remembered his own words and her smiling face. Surly, her one smile could make his day. Her one smile could brightened up his own mood. Her smiles were just for him.
Getting hold of the keyboard, he typed her name of Google and searched her images.
"Miss Ananya Kashyap...Senior Reporter, KKN" He could see her face filled with seriousness while holding the mic. Scrolling down, he also found pics that were taken from the joined show they did after getting back from Baghis.
"Can't believe...Aik hafta ho gaya or maine tumse baat nahi kia Ananya...tumhara chehra nahi dekha...tumhari awaz, tumhari hansi, tumhari shararat..." He thought and moved his fingers up to trace her pic on the LED.
A light knock was made on his cabin before Malvika get in just to see him lost in his desktop.
She knew the matters and she also can clearly see how break apart he looks.
Pushing her glasses back on her eyes, she crossed her arms and questioned with a smirk.
"Itna pyaar karte ho tau uske pass kyun nahi ho Kabir?" Momentarily, Kabir closed his eyes hearing the statement.
How much, just how much he wished to be with her. Right now. Every moment. Their whole life.
"Mere uske pass honay se usko sirf dukh hi hota hai Malvika...Pyaar main doori chahy jitni bhi ho...Pyaar tau rehta hai...likin us pyaar main pass reh ke dukh do...tau wo pyaar Zeher ban jata hai..." Giving one last look to her face, she closed the tab and got up.
"Anyways, tum yahan kaise...?"
"Dad or mere saath tum nay dinner plan kia tha, remember...KKN k entertainment channel k liye kuch producers bhi anay walay hain...tau Dad nay unhain bhi udher bula liya hai..."
Kabir nodded and grabbed his wallet, mobile and keys.
"Tau chalain..." Malvika nodded, clearly seeing how hard he was trying to show himself normal, but from inside, he was breaking inch by inch.
"Khalid, tum sahi keh rahay thay...humain hi kuch karna paray ga...Inke liye or KKN k liye" Mentally planning to call Khalid asap after the dinner, Malvika made her way out.

This story will probably have 4-5 parts and I will try to post them asap. This story is about how Ananya proves Kabir that she is worth taking the risk to love him, live for him...I really felt that the end was rushing. Kabir was always forgiving and took lightly even by Ananya...so I hope I can show that point here.
Take care.
