Malvika looked at her little baby sister of 22...fast asleep cuddling to thrir intertwined hands...
She smiled as she caressed her soft brown locks with her free hand...
She had just bent to give her a little kiss when she heard a knock at the door...making her move away awkwardly...
M: Malvika? are you done?
Manav asked...
On reaching home...she had quickly changed Ananya into her night wear so that she could sleep comfortably...
Malvika got off the bed...walking towards the door...unlovking it to let Manav in...
M: kaisi ab vo?
Mal: shhh...dheere bolo...sorahi hai Ananya...
She whispered...
M: theek hai...bahar chalkar baatein karte hai...of you don't mind...
She nodded before walking back to the sleeping Ananya & gently covering her with a comforter...
Walking downstairs they settled down on the sofa in the living area...while a servant poured them coffee...
Manav didn't fail to notice that Malvika was having a hard time controlling her tears...
Mal: main chodungi uss Kishan ko...Manav...I will sue him...zindagi barbaad karke rakh dungi...M..Manav...agar...agar main nahi aati uss waqt toh...pata...nahi vo...kya...
She broke down completely unable to say further...He only gathered her in his embrace allowing her to cry her heart out...
He always knew that no matter how hard she pretended to hate Ananya...she could never actually make herself hate her...she loved her a bit too much to hate her...
M: itna hi pyaar karti ho apni behen se...itna hi vishwaas hai ki usne aaj kuch galat nahi kiya toh phir uss din vishwaas kyu nahi kiya?...kyu ye sochne lagi ki tumhari apni choti behen...sagi behen tumhare saath aisa karegi? mujhpar shak kiya toh kiya...par Ananya? use toh tum bachpan se jaanti ho...tumdono ek saath pali-badhi ho...
Coming to her senses at this...Malvika abruptly moved out of his embrace...
Mal: Manav...I think you should leave...its too late...goodnight...
She said in a steely voice...somehow gatheting herself...
Manav nodded knowing she needed to be alone...
M: take care...
He said walking to the door & shutting it with a soft sound as he left the house...
Wiping away a last tear Malvika went back to her bedroom...
She knewctoday that she won't be able to sleep alone without Ananya safe & sound by her side...
Mal: just today...
She thought to herself before slipping in the covers...besides her...
Hugging Ananya as close as possible Malvika kept lying in bed.. only looking lovingly at Ananya...
Next Morning...
KKN:
The party the night before was the main gossip for the day in the office...especially the incidents...
Kh: Ah! Kabir...
Khalid called out as he entered Kabir's cabin...making him look up from the lead lakshman had messaged him...
K: haan bolo Khalid...
Kabir adjusted his blazer properly over the T-shirt he had paired it up with...
Kh: Kabir...abtak Malvika nahi aayi hai, aur Ananya bhi...
K: I guess Manav bhai will answer you better...
Kh: there's the issue my boy! vo bhi nahi aaya hai! kal jo kuch hua bohot shocking tha...
Kabir was about to answer when they heard some commotion outside & went out to see whst was happening...
Malvika entered the office with a battalion of lawyers...making her way to her cabin...upstairs...
Kh: Malvika? yeh sab...ye lawyers?
Mal: ye mere lawyers hai Khalid..legal procedures ki baat karne aaye hai...
Kh: wait a minute...what legal procedures? ye chal kya raha hai?
Mal: KKN will sue KJ Productions...
Khalid's eyes nearly fell off and so did he...
K: Khalid!
Kabur exclaimed coming from behind & holding onto his almost collapsed form...
Mal: umm..Khalid you ok?
Malvika asked withdrawing the hand she had extended to hold him because Kabir was already supporting him...
K: Malvika...tum ye sab kalke incident ki vajah se karna chahti ho...is it?
Mal: exactly Kabir...uss Kishan Jaisingh ko toh Ananya ya koi aur ladki toh kya apne aap ko choone layak nahi chodungi main!
Malvika spoke with immense anger which shocked Khalid & Kabir totally...
It was really peculiar for Malvika...who was so ambitious & professional to go personal & destroy someone like that for a mere employee..that too a junior reporter she was always miffed with...
Kh: okay... calm down darling...tell me first...SK iss sab ke baarein mein jaanta hai?
Mal: ( muttered) papa ko iski bhanak bhi lagi toh uss rakshas ko jalakar raakh kardenge...
Kh: I didn't get you!
Mal: uh...nahi...vo...US mein haina...US-India conference ke liye..t..toh...anyways...pata hota toh apni beti ka saath zaroor dete...
Just then they heard some noise coming from the entrance saw a little crowd there...
A minute later the crowd cleared to reveal a haggard looking Ananya with a hand on her forehead...
Mal: Ananya!
Kabir & Khalid saw Malvika catch her in time as she was about to collapse...
Mal: I'm so sorry...tumhe nahi bulaana chahiye tha...chalo ghar chalte hai...hmm?
A: di...kal..kya hua tha...mera sar...aisa lagta hai koi...bomb phod raha hai baar basr mere sar par...
She said with Malvika having to bring her ear near her lips to hear her...
Mal: vo sab chodo...chalo tum mere saath...
Malvika said wrapping a protective arm around her sister's shoulder & making her sit on the chair in her cubicle...
Mal: mooh kholo...
She told her gently & placed a pain killer in her mouth when she did & then placed the glass against her lips...
Mal: isse dard chala jaayega...
She said caressing her hair with love...
Mal: you want to sleep for a while? mere cabin mein chalein?
Ananya couldn't believe this was the same sister whohad slapped her hard a few days back...
A: Dii...
She whispered...
Mal: hmm?
Came the prompt reply in loving voice...
A: th..thank you...
She called again feebly as she weakly wrapped her arms around her waist...her head resting against Malvika's abdomen...
Malvika laughed a bit...hugging her back..
Mal: pagli! you're most welcome yaar!
M: I wish Khalid mujhe Amma ki tarah nazar utarni aati...
Manav said smiling lovingly at the adorable sister duo...
Kh: koi mujhe batayega...ye ho kya raha hai for gods sake?
K: Patience is your only chance Khalid...
After settling Ananya Malvika left for upstairs to her cabin to have a talk with her lawyers...that man wasn't getting away for sure...
*****
Mal: okay...toh kisi aur cheez ki zaroorat hai...humara case aur airtight karne ke liye...gentleman?
L1: ma'am...aap eyewitness hai...aapne Mr Kishan ko Miss Ananya Kashyap ko choote dekha...but ma'am we have no proof ki usne unki drink spike ki thi...
Mal: proof? ussne jo kuch milaaya tha uski vajah se Ananya abtak dizzy hai...aur kya proof chahiye?
L2: ma'am...par court ko solid evidence ki zaroorat hotti hai...vo uspar vishwaas naji karega jo humne ya aapne dekha ho...
Mal: par...
A: evidence hai di...
They all looked at the door to find Ananya standing there with a chip in her hand...
FLASHBACK:
Kabir's cabin...
K: haan Lakshman...okay...tum ek kaam karo...yss jagah ka address nikalo aur dekho agar koi aur solid khabar...
He stopped seeing Ananya atvthe door of his cabin almost leaning against it for support...
K: Lakshman...tumse baadmein baat karta hoon...
Kabir said...cutting the call before advancing towards her...
K: Ms Kashyap? are you okay?
He asked in his husky voice...
A: n..nahi...mera sarr phat raha hai...p..pata nahi kya dala tha uss nalayak ne...
She almost whispered but Kabir had sharp ears...her friends had told her exactly what happened for she remembered nothing...
K: aapko koi kaam tha?
A: haan...sir mujhe aapko kuch batana hai...
K: yeah sure...go ahead...but first sit here...
He said lowering her on one the chairs by her shoulders after he saw her unable to stand...
She extended her slender hand with those lovely long fingers & nails painted with baby pink nail polish...the diamond bracelet from last night still adored her fair wrist...
A: aap yewale diamonds thode upar kardenge?
She requested feebly...
He nodded at her request before taking her hand in his and shifting the precious stones a bit towards the sides...to reveal a tiny chip nestled in between...
K: ye kya hai, Ms Kashyap?
A: footage...main theek sectoh nahi jaanti kya hua...par I vaguely remember ki vo Kishan mere saamne hi tha poora waqt aur mujhe hi dekh raha tha...even..even when we were dancing...sir...
Kabir had to salute this girl...she was terrific...a brain mechanism that worked exactly like his...she was a carbon copy of his youngerself...
K: brilliant! bang on Ms Kashyap! par tumne ye kaise kiya?
A: kya karu sir...journalist hoon...kya pata kab kaha...kaise..kya miljaaye?
She said weakly...her eyelids flutterings...
Thinking she might pass out again...he looked around a bit to make sure there was no one watching them from the glass door of his cabin...
Placing one hand just below her trouser covered thighs & another around her shoulders he lifted her up gently in his arms & proceeded to walk towards the spacious orange coloured couch in his cabin...
He placed Ananya on it daintily...like she was a delicate glass doll...
Placing his palm beneath her head he rested it gently on the armrest of the couch...
He couldn't help but admire the angelic...innocent beauty fast asleep in front of him...
His lips twisted into a rare smile unknowingly...
He saw her fave twitch into a super cute expression while her hands went to hug her own tiny body...by her shoulders...
He looked up at the centralised AC & shook his head...
He was quick to think & removed his navy blue blazer...covering her upper body properly with it...
He felt his lips twitch into a slight smile again as her pout slowly vanished & she innocently clutched the blazer to herself still deep in sleep...due to the medicine...
Looking at her sleeping form one last time...he left the cabin...dialing Lakshman's number...
FLASHBACK ENDS:
Mal: arrey...Ananya tum? how are you now? sardard horaha hai abbhi?
She bombarded her with questions...
A: I'm fine di...
She said softly...
Malvika smiled & pulled her along...inside holding her hand...making her sit...
A: evidence hai...
She told one of the lawyers...
Mal: kya?
Ananya nodded...
A: Kabir sir...
She called out & the very next moment Kabir waljed in with the chip...
K: ye raha tumhara evidence Malvika...I have gone through this footage & it is perfect to make a case against PJ Productions...ismein Kishan Ms Kashyap ki drink spike karte hua saaf dikh raha hai...kyunki ye chip Ms Kashyap ke bracelet mein tha jo uske saamne kuch hi doori par khadi intezaar kar rahi thi...
Mal: meri behen toh hai hi genius...
K: sorry?
Mal: uh..um...I mean..Ananya is really a genius...
She sighed in relief saying this...
Kabir nodded...he had to admit that this girl surely had that * something* in her to rock in thevworld of journalism & etch her name in golden letter in the history of journalism...
A while later the lawyers disperesed & Malvika too excused herself to the PCR for Rohan's bulletin...
A: uh...excuse me..Kabir sir...
K: yes, Ms Kashyap?
Kabir turned around & spoke in his charming voice...
A: uh...thank you...
She said softly with her innocent brown orbs gazing at his molten chocolate brown orbs...
She lowered her lashes a bit as her slightly trembling hands handed him his blazer...her cheeks were a perfect baby pink...
K: You're welcome...
He said taking it from her hands...
His husky voice sent shivers down her spine...
She saw his handsome face graced with thst charming smile of his making her go weak in her knees...
******
Ananya narrowed her eyes & then shook her head...
A: jiju kya hai? kabse mujhe aise teasing looks derahe hai aap...
M: aajkal team KaYa ke beech kya chalraha hai...Ms Kashyap?
He asked naughtily...
A: shii! ek Kabir sir kaafi nahi hai aap bhi Ms Kashyap bularahe hai!
Ananya complained as she sat next to Priyal who was happily playing with her favourite new doll...
A: jiju...ye wahi doll haina jo Kabir sir ne di thi?
Instead of Manav Priyal nodded her head...
P: maasimaa...Piyal...kabil...dollie!
She sqeauled & Ananya picked her up in her arms..cuddling & pressing kisses on her face...
A: baby lekin vo aapse bade haina...aur maasimaa ne kya sikhaaya tha?
P: lispect elderj! ( respect elders)
A: aawww! very good my chotu bachcha!
Ananya said nuzzling her nose in her cheeks making her giggle...
A: aap unhe...uncle...nahi...ummm...
M: haan haan Priyal beta...vaise Anu...how about...mausaji?
He asked teasingly...
Ananya turned beetred at this...her mouth was wide open...she suddenly. lowered her eyes with shyness..
M: aaye haaye! would be Mrs Sharma...abhi se sharma rahi ho...Amma! aapka honewaala eklauta daamaad milgaya!
Mrs G: kon?
Mrs Gupta came rushing in with tea for them...
A: auntie ye na...ye bas mujhe chidhaaye jaa rahe ho...
M: Amma...aapka damaad final! KKN ke editor-in-cheif...
Ananya threw a pillow on him...
M: arrey!
A: what arrey? k..kuch...bhi...Kabir sir...mere senior hai...
M: ( dreamily) aur mere honewaali pati...mere devta...mera suhaag...
He said dramatically & his mom pulled his ear...
M: owww! Amma! ab ek bachchi ka baap hoon main yaar!
Mr G: achcha? toh phir meri bitiya ko kahe chidha rahe ho? itni pyaari bachchi hai kuchcho kehti bhi naahi...
Ananya showed him her tongue...mischief visible in her eyes...
A: okay chalo ab meri chotu baby ke sone ka time hai..ok...chalo...hum nightdress pehenenge...yaayyy!
Ananya said taking her up in her arms to get her changed...
A: haawww! naughty girl! maasimaa ko geela kardiya!
Ananya exclaimed in mock anger as she bathed Priyal in her little tub...while she splashed water on her...
Priyal giggled...clapping her hands gleefully looking super cute with her head covered in foam while she kicked around in the tub...her soft feet hitting against the warm water...
A: chalo abhi! poora wet kardiya na mujhe!
She pouted...wrapping her in her baby towel with teddy bear design & scooping her up...
A: abhi hum soyenge...
Ananya whispered as she tucked a freshly bathed Priyal into bed...caressing her soft hair...while Manav looked on adoringly...
P: paa...paa!
Priyal babbled in her baby voice & Manav went closer kissing her cheek...
M: good night my littke baby! papa loves you beta...
P: piyal lub papa...piyal lub maasimaa mole! ( Priyal loves papa but she loves maasimaa more)
Ananya gave a cry of triumph...
Manav shook his head...
A: ab vo kya haina main hoon hi aisi ki sab mujhe pasand karte hai!
M: haan haan...jaise Kabir sahab! kyu?
He cocked an eyebrow as her eyes & mouth widened & soon enough she was chasing him round the room with a pillow with Priyal giggling away at the sight...
