Chapter 15:
Ananya was now happy & smiling with all her friends around...
And with Priyal cuddling to her she was the happiest girl on earth...
P: maasimaa...papa ne kaha aapko lagi! aapko kahapal lagi?
Ananya gave a small smile pointing to an area somewhere near her lower abdomen...
A: yaha par...
Priyal made a crying face...as if she felt the pain...
P: main kishie dungi toh dald band hodaayega!
She cooed as if soothing Ananya...
Ananya suddenly gasped loudly & her hand flew to the hem of her top as Priyal tried to lift it up...
But instead her cheeks went red as Kabir's fingers brushed against her midriff since he was the one sitting on her right while others were on the left which luckily blocked their vision...
A horrified Kabir as a reflex had tried to pull it down...looking away...
It was as if both felt they were electrocuted...
K: Priyal...baby aap baadmein dekhleena...abhbhi aap dekhoge toh unhe dard hoga na?
Kabir asked making an innocent questioning face...
Priyal nodded & looked at him with her big eyes & nodded...
She extended her arms towards him making him understand & lift her up...placing her in his lap...
P: thankyuuu! ( thank you)
She placing a sweet kiss on his cheek...
Kabir smiled at her but then immediately made a baby face...
K: sirf ek?
He made a cute sad face...
Priyal gave him another kiss on the other cheek...
K: sirf do?
He continued with the same look...
Priyal again gave him a kiss on the previous cheek...
K: sirf teen?
Kabir asked naughtily but with the same innocent face...
Priyal giggled & gave him another kiss & said...
P: maasimaa kehti hai laalach...buli...bala hai!
Hearing this not one of them could stop themselves from bursting out laughing but controlling their volumes since they were in s hospital...
K: really? aap aisa kehti hai, Ms Kashyap?
Kabir asked her raising an eyebrow making her all the more flustered...
But not long after her face had a pout & she looked at Priyal...
A: Kabir sir ke liye 5-5 kissies aur mere liye? apki pyaari pyaari maasimaa ke liye?
She asked with the cutest & most adorable pout Kabir had seen...
The next second her niece was in her arms raining some 10-15 kisses on her...making her giggle...
******
N: excuse me! aapke dinner ka time hogaya hai...
A nurse called..
By now all her friends & Manav had to leave & only Kabir was waiting with her or else she'd be all alone since SK to had some urgent work...
Kabir entered the room & was amused to see what Ananya was doing...
She was sitting by the cushions...her head was a bit raised up with some strands of hair on her face while she shook her head & did all sorts of antics in a bid to remove the hair...since one of her hsnds was clutching an open button & the other was over her wound...
Kabir chuckled to himself seeing her cute antics...
Ananya groaned after multiple unsuccessful tries...
She almost screamed as a pair of hands possessing deft fingers gently tucked them away...
Ananya looked from the corner of her eyes & was surprised to see Kabir busy in plaiting her hair in an elaborate plait with great attention & care...
A: uh...Kabir sir?
She finally mustered some courage & called...
K: yes, Ms Kashyap?
Kabir answered in his husky voice...
A: ye...aap...I mean...aapko braid banaani aati hai?
She asked really surprised & amused...
Kabir smiled slightly at her confused look that he could make out...
K: you see Ms Kashyap...ek sting operation ke dauraan main ek baar hairstylist bana tha...
He said making her gape at him & then suddenly burst out laughing loudly...
Looking at Kabir's no nonsense type look which he plastered all day she stopped laughing & glanced at him nervously...but only to burst into fits of laughter all over again this time earning a rare smile from him...
He shook his head just as she handed him a spare rubber band to secure her braided hair...
A: Kabir sir...vaise...ek baat kahu?
She asked softly..
K: sure...
A: aapne mere baal bohot dundar banaye hai...
She admitted with a cute face which always managed to steal his heart away...
K: really? thank you...Ms Kashyap...
Meanwhile the nurse brought in Ananya's dinner...
Ananya made a face seeing the plain Khichidi she was served...
A: vo shyaamwala khatarnak soup kam tha jo aap ye le aayi! patient bimaari se mare na mare iss khaane se mar jaayega! by god!
And there goes Ms Kashyap typically! thought Kabir...
N: dekhiye ma'am...ye meal hospital ke nutritionist ne hi dene ke liye kaha hai...aap please khaa lijiye...
A: khaa lijiye? aise kaise khaa lijiye! jail ke kaidiyon ko isse behtar khaana milta hai...aur ye...
She again made a face...wrinkling her nose as a sign of disgust...
K: Ms Kashyap...I know this is not exactly a delicacy but you need nutritious food at the moment...
A: nutrition meri jooti! ye? aap chahte hai main ye khau? ye? peele paani mein tairta hua chawal!
Kabir really wanted to chuckle at her description of the Khichidi...
K: doctor ne kaha hai so khaana padega Ms Kashyap...aap ghar jaakar 7 course meal khaa lijiye...in fact its my treat ...lekin abhi please...cooperate!
Ananya made a crying face at Kabir & picked up the spoon...scooping up some of the contents of the bowl...
She aimlessly popped it in her mouth only to have her palm flying over her mouth in an attempt to bot spit out...
Kabir frowned at her...
K: kya hua?
A: kya hua? KYA HUA??? kya nahi hua sir! ye...ye khaana! aap khaakar dekhiye...
She said with a disgusted face...
The next moment before Kabir could say anything he was holding her wrist as she stuffed a spoonful of it in his mouth...
Kabir scrunched his eyes & forced himself hard to gulp it down just as Ananya offered him her glass of water...
K: thank you...
He said after the disgusting taste was gone...
A: ab pata chala! ye naa meri maa ke sardi waale kaade se bhi zyaada ganda hai!
Kabir agreed to her but there wasn't a choice...
******
A girl in her early twenties came up to the Reception & enquired...
G: ohji Ananya Kashyap ji ka room no. bata denge! badi meherbaani hogi ji! sachchi!!!
Re: sorry madam...lekin unse milne abhi abhi bohit saare log gaye hai...aur itne saree logon ko patients ke paas jaana allowed nahi hai...infection ho sakta hai..
G: ohji lekin mainnu unka haal poochna tha! goli nahi lag gayi thi unko!
Re: I'm sorry madam...par main aapki koi madat nahi karpaungi...
The girl made a sad face adjusting her stole with the colorful pompoms...
Meanwhile Sunny who was instantly smitten by the girl had his eyes twinkling before he ran to Ananya's room...
S: Ananya! Meri pyaari pyaari sabse sundar aur achchi Ananyaaa!
Sunny called as he came jumping to her...
A: oye! tujhe kya hua? mujhe makhkhan kyu laga raha hai?
She asked...all surprised...
S: bahar na ek ladki hai...tujhse milna chahti hai...par na vo receptionist kehrahi hai ki bohot zyaada log hai yaha isiliye vo nahi aasakti! tu kehde ki tu usse milna chahti hai pleaseee! please! meri pyaari pyaari sundar sundar Ananya!
Ananya shook her head...smiling...
A: theek hai lekin...aise kaise bula loon..main jaanti bhi nahi hoon...
S: Richa didi, Trisha didi! Ananya didi ko bolo na!
Sunny pouted & sulked like a child...
Everyone burst out laughing at this...especially Ananya was laughing crazily...clapping her hands...
Kabir, Manav & SK followed by Malvika entered the roon & the first thing they saw was a madly laughing Ananya...
All four of them for that matter were filled with happiness seeing her laughter after the remorseful days..
SK: kitne dino baad main apni beti ko aise khush dekha hai Manav...I just want her to be happy...usne ye 3 saal bohot kuch saha hai...
M: mujhe toh samajh nahi aata ki kya kahu...meri behen aise hi khush rahe bas...ab bohot hogaya..kaash sab theek ho paata...
He said painfully...
K: ( to himself) I don't know why Ms Kashyap...par aapko khush dekhkar mujhe bohit khishi milti hai...aapki hasi jaise mere liye addiction hai...jaise news se bhi badhkar hai...
Kabir thought to himself being a clesr bundle of mixed emotions...
A: Richa didi...Trisha didi! oh god Sunny! chal jaa bula le use...main bhi toh dekhoon ye kon hai jisne aise chamatkaar karwa diya!
S: sachchi? SACHCHI?????
Sunny was ecstatic. ...
S: tu kitni achchi hai...
kitni intelligent hai...
pyaari pyaari hai...
O Ananyaaa Ooo Ananyaaa!
Sunny sang & rushed towards the door almost colliding with Kabir...
K: aaraam se Sunny paaji! I'm sure aapki...I mean vo ladki yahi hogi!
Sunny reached the place where she was waiting still before checking & approving his look...
Taking a deep breath...he held his chest high as he walked her...
S: hello ji! myself Sunny Gill...Senior Cameraman...KKN...Ananya na meri best friend hai...vaise yourself ji?
B: oh! tussi KKN vich...aur...best friend...and myself ji...Baby Malhotra! achcha ji mainnu unse milva do na...vo kya haina main aaji hi KKN join kiya hai...Ananya ji ke baarein mein suna na...toh na vaddi impress hogayi ji main toh! kya bragery dikhaayi hai! waah! isliye na main unko khud congratulate karna chahti hoon...
S: ohji! Babyji! why fear when Sunny here!!!
He spoke with a proud aura...walking to the receptionist he said...
S: dekho ji..Ananya ne kaha hai ki vo khud Babyji se milna chahti hai! isiliye ab aap inko jaane do!
Re: theek hai sir...ma'am aap jaiyye...
B: thank you ji!
Baby said leaping into his arms making him go all dreamy...
They entered the room...
S: Baby ji...yeh hai Ananya...
He pointed to her...resting on the bed...
S: aur ye Richa didi, Trish didi, Ronnie bhaiyya, Khalid bha...sir, Manav sir aur Kabir sir...
B: arrey Ananya ji! ab aap kaisi hai?
Baby enquired...
A: ji...maaf kijiye..main aapko jaanti hoon?
Ananya asked...confused...
B: oh sirry ji! okay...hello ji! myself Baby Malhotra! KKN ki nayi weather reporter! achcha Sunny ji! ye konn hai? aapki girlfriend?
She pointed at the shocked Malvika...
S: nahi nahi nahiii!
Sunny exclaimed rushing to Malvika before taking hold of her hand & placing it on his head...
S: Malvika didi aashirwaad toh de do please!
He requested the bewildered Malvika before everyone burst out laughing...
M: kya hua Malvika didi aashirwaad toh de do...
Manav said teasingly...
Mal: Shut up Manav!
Malvika snarled at him...pulling her hand away..making flinch & put a finger on his lips...
Just then Baby's eyes caught sight of Kabir & she gasped dramatically...
B: haaye main mar jaava! KABIR SHARMA! sir...aap...main aapki itni badi fan hoon...itni badi fan hoon ki kya batau sir...mujhe toh vishwaas nahi hita ki aap...sachmein!
She walked towards with wide eyes...
Bringing a trembling finger she poked his shoulder with it only to gasp even loudly...
B: aap toh sachchi mein yaha hai!
Kabir looked at her awkwardly...
B: aapke saath kaam katne ka mouka! haayee! meri na ji lottery hi lag gayi!!!!
Meanwhile Malvika rolled her eyes & said...
Mal: I can't tolerate this nonsense!
Malvika exclaimed & turned to leave but Ananya hugged on to her...
A: di please...mat jaiyye na...atleast thodi der mere paas rahiye na...I..I..know ki aap...aap mujhe ab pasand nahi karti...lekin...pl..please...sirf thodi der...
She said clutching onto her for dear life...sobbing into her shirt...
Of course Malvika's hands itched to embrace her sister...but her anger managed to get the better of her & she pushed Ananya away...
A: aahh!
Ananya winced as she scrambled backwards...luckily Kabir held her in time & his free hand reflexly went to her wound trying to ease her pain & check if it was bleeding...
Immediately guilt washed over her & Malvika's eyes were filled with tears...she cursed herself for being so confused...she just had no idea what to do...
And at that moment all she did was run out of the room not wanting anybody to see her tears of remorse more than anger...
Ananya winced...stumbling to her feet despite repeated protests from all those in the room...only to collapse on the floor...near her bed...
She looked expressionless for a moment...as if she couldn't register what exactly had happened...
Soon enough tears were flowing freely down her cheeks...
A: aap sab jaiyye please...
She almost whispered...
All: Ms Kashyap/ Ananya beta/ Ananya!
Everyone looked worriedly at her...
A: MAINE KAHA NA JAIYYE EK BAAR MEIN AAP LOGON KO SUNAI NAHI DETA!
She shouted at the top of her voice...
Everyone flinched at her tone...she had never reacted this way...
A: jaiyye na!
Ananya cried breaking down & sobbing incosolably & hysterically pushing her face further into her palms...
Kh: chalo SK...Ananya needs time...I think we shoukd give it to her...
Khalid said placing his hand on his shoulder...they too followed others outside...with great reluctance...
******
Kabir tiptoed inside the darkened room & foumd Ananya huddled in a corner...on the floor...
He settled down on the floor besides her & sighed...
K: jagah achchi hai...baithne ke liye...haina?
Ananya didn't reply...only tears trickled down her face...
He could only hear her hiccups due to her constant cries...
He had just extended his hand to place it on her shoulder when she turned towards him with a jerk...
A: K...Kabir..sir...aapko..p..pata hai...pehle..m..maa mujhe chodkar chali gayi...phir...phir meri...meri behen...meri didi...aur..aur p..papa...papa..vo bhi Singapore chale...chale jaayenge...toh..main...akeli hojaungi...bilkul akeli...phirse...please sir aap...aap unse kahiye na...please ki mujhe chodkar naa jaaye! please...mujhe akela nahi hona! nahi hona! nahi hona!
She was almist gasping as she chanted the last few words crazily before he finally clamped her mouth shut with his palm...her voice stopped but her body continued to tremble...
K: shhh...Ananya...stop! shant hojao...take a deep a deep breath & relax...koi tumhe chodkar nahi jaaraha...okay? just calm down...and don't worry about Malvika...hum sab baat karenge usse okay? relax...tum akeli nahi ho...stop crying!
His gentle & soothing voice made her stop her shivering & gasping...
She crashed into his chest...her head now above his heart...
Kabir could make out that she was still breathing heavily & caresses her back to comfort her...
Her sobbing had stopped quite a bit...
She had closed her eyes...
Meanwhile a light smile graced Manav's face as he saw Kabir shake his head in a no & wipe Ananya's tears...
M: papa...aap bhi vahi dekh rahe hai jo main dekh raha hoon...
He asked SK who had just joined him as the two saw Ananya rush into Kabir's arms...
SK: haan Manav...aur agar ye sach hua toh mujhse zyaada khushi shayad hi kisi ko ho...
He said with a smile that showed how relieved he was to see his daughter finding comfort in the most capable & best man possible...
Maybe this broken princess had found her prince who'd heal her...love her...protect her from all hurt..
TBC😃
Precap:
M: Malvika...tumne toh Ananya ko dirf hurt kiya hai...lekin ab koi aisa hai jo use aur hurt nahi hone dega...use har dukh se bachaakar rakhega...
Manav told an irritated looking Malvika as they stood in Ananya's room..staring at Kabir & Ananya huddled in each others arms while Manav covered them with a blanket...
Ananya was hugging Kabir by his waist while his broad chest was her pillow...
One of Kabir's hands was in her hair while the other was around her shoulder...his head rested by the wall...
Both were fast asleep...all peaceful in each other's embrace...
Note:
