Chapter 11:
2-3 days later...
Ananya cheerfully skipped inside KKN...
She was happy that lately Malvika's behaviour with her had inproved after the Kishan incident...
Deciding to spend some time with her sister...she went up to her cabin with coffee...
A: di coffee...
Ananya started cheerfully...but was shocked when she received the same cold glare from Malvika...
Mal: you think I have time for your nonsensical coffee?
A: di...
Mal: I said...it is MA'AM for you! get it?
She barked at her making her flinch...
A: j...ji...ma'am please...aap kyu kar rahi hai aisa? I thought we were on good terms again...
Mal: ooh! toh uss din tumhari thodi side kya leli humdardi kya dikhaadi tum toh sar pe chadhh gayi!
Get this clear in your pea sized brain that you are nothing to me...I hate you from the core of my heart...tum sirf ek attention seeker ho...infact I think...uss Kishan ko bina vajah hi arrest karwaaya...I'm sure green signal tumne hi use diya hoga! kyu???
A: nahi nahi nahi di...please trust me...maine...
Ananya was scared that Malvika will again treat her the same way...
Mal: just shut up! I know you in and out! Manav ki mistress aur uski beti ki part time aaya bankar bore hogayi toh socha kisi aur phaas loon? kyu?
Ananya held to the chair to stop herself from collapsing on the ground...
She covered her ears shaking her head vigorously...
A: nahi! main...Manav jiju ki...mis...nahi hoon...nahi hoon..nahi hoon!
She kept on saying...
The next moment...
She ran out of the cabin...covering her mouth to prevent her sobs from escaping...her body shook as she sobbed silently...
She rushed to her cubicle...immersing herself in some work to forget her pain...
Her face was expressionless like someone had killed or ripped off her soul to shred...an endless stream of tears trickled down her face...but she made sure no one noticed her state...
Sunny gave all others a wink & went upto her...
S: oye!
He cried out annoyed...
S: aajkal naa sabko tujhe hi attention dete hai...humko toh koi ghaas bhi nahi daalta...Ananya ye Ananya vo...humlog toh side mein hi pade hote hai! oye Kabir sir bhi tujhe hi bulaate hai har baar! sabki attention toh tu hi seek karti hai!
To his horror Ananya gave out a sob...
S: arrey...oye...maata main toh mazaak ksr raha tha yaar!
A: main attention seeker nahi hoon! nahi hoon main!
Ananya was sobbing badly...all of them came running to her...
S: arrey nahi Ananya yaar! mera ye matlab nahi tha...
A: main attention seeker nahi hoon...kiski ki mistress nahi hoon!
She kept chanting before getting up & rushing out of the office room covering her mouth.. crying uncontrollably...before anyone could stop her...
K: Ms Kashyap ye rahi.....
Kabir trailed off as a hysterical Ananya rushed past him...
Ro: ye kaha gayi...
Ronnie was worried...so were the others...
K: Ms Kashyap ko kya hua?
Kabir too was suddenly highly concerned unknown to himself...
Ri: Sunny yaar! hadd hai...aise koi mazaak karta hai...pata nahi sir ye Sunny toh use aise hi chidha raha tha par Ananya buri tarah rone lagi aur kehrahi thi main attention seeker nahi hoon...mi..mistress nahi..hoon...
Richa was disgusted at the last few words...
K: mistr...
Kabir stopped short realising the seriousness of the matter...
Ri: chalna Ronnie use dhundte hai...pata nahi kaha gayi...
Ro: nahi yaar...give her sometime...use shaant hojaane de...phir baat karenge...
Richa nodded...understanding...tensed for her best friend who looked like living corpse...
Evening...
Everyone had left for the conference... by the time she came...the whole of KKN was to attend it...her friends too had left...reluctantly of course...
Ananya sat in her cubicle...tears still streaming down her beautiful face...
She had finally come back after spending the whole day alone in a garden with remorse for company...but her face was still expressionless...
Malvika's hurtful words ringing time & again in her mind...
She covered her mouth to stop loud sobs from escaping...
A: di...h..how can you think that...m..main...Manav jiju ki...
She trailed off muttering to herself...she wanted to cry...so badly but couldn't...but unable to control she let out a loud sob...
R: Ananya madam...
Ananya perked up suddenly hearing the peon..Rahul's voice...she immediately wiped her tears & looked up at him...thankful he hadn't heard her sob...
R: aapko Kabir sir bulaa rahe hai madam...
He said before collecting the coffee mugs & leaving the place...
Ananya closed her eyes trying to compose herself...she could certainly not cry in front of Kabir sir...who was her hero...
With a determined face...she marched to his cabin...
Kabir's cabin...
Kabir shook his head at her & gave his signature Kabir Sharma smirk...
K: toh aap knock karna nahi seekhengi, right Ms Kashyap?
Ananya looked at him with her expressionless face...
without a word..
Kabir got up from his chair in reply & advanced towards her...
K: Ms Kashyap...
Kabir's charismatic voice rang in her ears...
A: hmmm?
came a voice Kabir was sure was not thst of the bubbly Ms Kashyap he knew...
K: aap theek hai?
Kabir asked suddenly a bit softly...noticing her quivering voice...
A: hmmm
came vthe same voice...with zero emotions in her eyes...
Kabir nodded..
K: aap comfortable nahi hai toh main aapko force nahi karunga...anyways...you've done a brilliant job! aapki script bohot impressive hai...do one thing iska final print out le lijiye & then handover a copy to Malvika...she wanted to have a look...is that okay?
A: huh? j..ji...ji Kabir sir...
She said coming to her senses..rushing out his cabin before she broke down...
This was the last thing she wanted... to go face Malvika again after the morning incident...
By now, all others had left...and even Kabir as Ananya finished taking the print out...
She sighed gkancing upstairs...
A: Ananya you can do this!
She told herself before heading upstairs...to her sister's cabin...
She timidly knocked once at the door...
Mal: come in...
Came her sister's ever stern voice...
Ananya took baby steps inside...with her head lowered...
A: d..dii..
Ananya called her...in a soft voice...
Malvika's head snapped up..her eyes throwing daggers at the quivering & sobbing figure of her little sister...
Mal: how dare you? tumhe sharm nahi aati itna sab hone ke baad bhi andar aagayi?
A: di...vo ye...
Mal: mere paas na tum jaiso ke liye time hai naa tumhari bakwaas ke liye...samjhi so just get lost!
A: lekin didi...vo...Kabir sir...unhone...ye...ye diya hai...
Mal: hogaya? ab jao yaha!
Malvika snapped...snatching the papers from her...
Meanwhile unknown to them...behind the curtains in Malvika's cabin...there a certain someone watching over them...
Ananya nodded tearfully...trying hard not to cry out...
She was about to turn when her sharp eye caught something...her eyes widened at the sight & the next monent she pushed Malvika away with a scream...
A: DIDIII HAYIYEEE!
Ananya cried at the top of voice before pushing her away...
It was a gunman pointing the gun towards Malvika...about to shoot her...
Mal: have you lost...
Malvika's voice dissappeared into her throat as a gunshot echoed throughout her cabin...
Mal: ANANYAAA!
She shrieked at the top of her voice realising what exactly happened...
Ananya dropped to the floor in a dead faint ...her lower body soaked in blood from the gunshot wound...
Malvika went totally blank for a second...not knowing what to do..or even how to react with her bloodied sister lying unconscious on the floor in front of her...
Mal: ANANYAAA!
She cried again sobbing hysterically & painfully...
She yanked herself to her feet as soon she caught sight of the figure who had just gunned down her sister try to escape from the window...after hus unsuccessful mission...
A little cat & mouse game followed before he pushed her away & escaped through the window...
Malvika rushed back to Ananya...placing her head on her lap...cupping her cheeks...
Mal: Ananya...utho...ye...Ananya...
When Ananya didn't budge she panicked & started screaming for help...
Mal: Koi hai? Khalid, Kabir...Manav? HELP!!!!!
But unfortunately, all the staff had left for the conference & the peons for the day...
Malvika looked around helplessly before she realised she had to act quickly lest it'd cost her her sister's life...
Mal: Ananya...chal...I promise I'll not let anything happen to you...trust me...
She whispered to her...kissing her bleeding forehead injured as she fell... before using all her strength to get Ananya on her feet...
The two somehow stumbled out of the cabin into the corridor...
Somehow reaching downstairs Malvika shoved Ananya into the front seat...buckling her up properly but careful about her wound...
Seating herself she drove at lightening speed...not caring for rules or fine...she drove & drove...heading to the nearest hospital she could think of...
Her vision was blinded by tears but nevertheless she kept driving...
She punched the steering wheel frustratedly...Delhi's traffic never got on her nerves as much as it was today...
Today if she had to go fight on the street to clear the traffic she would...for sure...
Her free hand lovingly caressed her unconscious sister's curly hair...whisoering sweet nothings to her...
But it was not that easy for her...she was breaking from within at the thought if loosing her sister...tge sister who was everything for her...
Her phone bought her out of her thoughts & she put on her bluetooth in order to keep driving...
Kh: Malvika! Where the hell are you? Conference mein tum aayi hi nahi...kar kya rahi ho tum? where are you damnit?
Khalid boomed on the other side...
Mal: Kh...Khalid...
Malvika started only to break into loud sobs...unable to say anything...
Khalid on the other hand panicked...he had been tgere when Malvika was born & from then till date he had never seen her cry as hysterically as she currently was...
Kh: Malvika...dear..are you okay? tum ro kyu rahi ho? tell me...kya hua?
Kabir & Manav too came there & looked at Khalid...
K: Khalid...pata chala kuch...kaha hai Malvika? aayi kyu nahi abtak...
Kh: Malvika..darling hold on...Kabir, Manav...I..I feel something is drastically wrong...Malvika kuch bol nahi rahi she's simply crying...
M: crying? kyu? matlab...meri bast karao usse...
Khalid handed him the phone...
M: Malvika...bolo kya hua...pehle toh rona band karo...ok?
Mal: M..Manav...Ananya...usse...Ananya...
She just couldn't bring her to say it...
M: Ananya? kya hua use? bolo...is she okay? haan...arrey yaar speak up!
He said panicking...
Mal: Ananya...ko...goli lag gayi...
She burst into the loudest of cries as soon as she said this...
For a moment Manav couldn't register what she said...
M: K...kya? g..goli...achcha hum milkar baat karte hai...tum batao tumlog kaha ho...
Mal: m..main...use Delhi Government hospital le jarahi hoon...vahi sabse paas hai...Manav..I'm sure...ye papa ke kisi rival ne karvaaya hai...
K: Manav bhai...all okay?
A shocked Kabir asked him...holding him by his shoulders...seeing tears in Manav's eyes...
M: main rasste mein bataunga...abhi mujhe jasna hai...
Kh: par Manav...
But at the moment Manav could see or hear nothing but that his sister has been shot...
******
Kabir, Manav & Khalid reached the hospital but didn't find anyone they knew there...
Kh: Manav ab tum bataoge why are we here? aur Malvika vo kaha hai? and...
Khalid was cut off by Malvika screaming for the doctor as she & a few ward boys wheeled a totally senseless Ananya lying on the stretcher...
Her white cream baggy top & black trousers totally soaked in blood...
Malvika too was a horrendous sight with blood all over her plain white shirt was covered in blood...
K: Ms Kashyap!
Kabir gasped...horrified seeing her like that...
Kh: Ananya...darling!
Khalud gasped emotionally seeing his star reporter struggling between life & death...
Just as Ananya was wheeled inside the OT the door
shut...
Manav rushed to Malvika almost shaking her for an answer...
M: Malvika...ye sab kaise hua?
He asked tearfully...
Mal: main conference ke liye nikal hi rahi thi...ach...Acha Ananya aagayi...Kabir ne shayad use kuch diya tha mujhe dene ke liye...
K: yeah right...vo interview ki script...lekin ye sab...
Mal: humdono ke beech kaahasuni hui aur maine Ananya ko jaane ke liye bhi kaha...aur tabbhi peeche se koi mujhpar goli chalane waala tha...usne dekh liya aur...aur...vo beech mein aagayi!
Malvika broke down again in her husband's arms...sobbing inconsolably...
Kh: Kabir...I think ye SK ke rivals ka kaam hai...ekbaar pehle bhi Malvika par attack hua tha...
K: I know...uss din...
Manav too was in tears thinking thst just that morning Ananya had been so happy...she had made a raakhi for him like every year & tied it...she had done from the past 11 years...from the time he & Malvika were in a relationship...
All of them looked up hopefully seeing the doctor approach them...
Mal: doctor meri Ananya!
Malvika jumped on him as soon as he came in sight...
Dr: dekhiye...operation chalraha hai...hum abhi kuch keh nahi sakte...main sirf itna kehne aaya tha that she has lost a lot of blood...aur unhe jald se jald khoon chadhaana hoga...unka blood group test karke AB negative hai...ye toh pata chal gaya hai lekin humard blood bank mein filhaal ye available nahi hai...kyunki ye bohot hi zyaada rare blood group...
Mal: AB negative humari family mein toh sirf maa thi...par..ab...
She scrunched her eyes as her brain simply stopped working...
Manav held Malvika's collapsing figure in his arms...
M: main O positive hoon par damn my haemoglobin levels! ye log mera khoon nahi lenge...
Mal: hum..hum...baat karte hai...aise...Khalid...check...kisi aur ka bloof group match karta ho...KKN mein se...
Just then...
K: Ms Kashyap ab kaisi hai?
Kabir asked as he entered after making a call to Laxman to find information about the attacker...
His heart hurt like hell for reasons he didn't know with Ananya in the hospital...
M: Ananya ki surgery charahi hai Kabir sahab...usko blood ki zaroorat hai...lekin uska blood bohot rare hai...aur blood banks mein available nahi hai...
Manav cried helplessly...
K: ek minute...Malvika... blood group konsa hai Ms Kashyap ka?
Kabir asked hopefully...
Mal: A..AB negative...
She said tearfully...
Today Kabir thought that maybe he should believe in God after all..
K: mera blood group vahi hai...so I can help...
Malvika looked gratefully at Kabir making him nod with an assuring smile...
