Hey guys! Glad to be back in this forum. Nowadays getting to read quite a few Kasu stories from the lovely writers here. Awesome!
This FF and chapter is dedicated to KappuMyFav. I hope u like this attempt honey!
PS-No I hv not lost my mind,I know Sumona didn't go to London. But this story is going to fix that. :D
Chapter 1
The date was 16 August,2016. The team of K9 productions was shooting one final episode before they left for their London live show and holiday the next day.Sonakshi Sinha was the designated guest. They were all excited and lively,looking forward to this trip. All except one,that was Sumona. This was the first time that she was not accompanying the team on an outdoor tour and this left her disheartened and feeling a bit left out. But she knew now there was no possibility of her going. The tickets were sold,the bookings done,the ads printed. And she wasn't on any of them. This,ideally,shud not bother her. After all,she was the one who had willingly opted out of the tour,using her injured shoulder as a clever excuse. Excuse,because telling kapil the real reason for opting out was not going to happen,specially not in this lifetime.
As she went over these thoughts while sitting backstage waiting for her turn,she saw kapil making his way towards her. At first she thought he wud pass by her and go talk to someone else,but when she realised he was coming up to her she panicked. She tried to make a way for escape but found none. He reached her and saw her attempt to avoid him. Crossing his arms in front of his chest,he said 'Kya yar..mere se itni Kharab Khushbu aa Rahi hai ki dur bhag Rahi ho?' Despite her serious situation,she smiled. Only Kapil could do that. She went right up to him and pretending to sniff him she said 'Na..itni buri v nai hai ' He laughed and hooked one hand tightly around her waist,as she belatedly realised just how close she had come to him. She tried to break free but he tightened his grip. 'Sumona..'he murmured,burying his face in her neck,inhaling her jasmine like fragrance. She moaned softly. 'Kapil Ye tum kya kar Rahe ho..koi aa jaega chodo.' She weakly protested but he continued to nuzzle her neck,placing butterfly kisses there. They were lost in each other and it was a couple of minutes before he finally pulled back. Grinning at her,he said 'I will miss u..I wish u could come with us to London.' She smiled back,covering the pain. 'I will miss u all too. But I can't..u can see my hand na Kapil..I hv to rest.'
A look of sadness came into his eyes. 'Kisne bola tha udhar Switzerland Mei ja ke bandaro jaise Kudne ko..kuch ho jata to?' She smiled at his angry concern. 'Par Mai thik hu Kapil..mere liye adventures utne hi zaruri hai jitna tumhare liye music.' She said to make him understand. He did understand,and a few seconds later kept his cupped her cheek with his palm. 'Khayal rakhna apna sumo..tmrw we all r leaving. We will not be back for at least 10 days. Is bich mei dusra hath bhi mat tod Lena.' He joked,his way of telling her he cared. She laughed slightly and nodded,even though her chest felt hollow at the thought of him leaving. Neither of them liked to be separated from each other. 'Ha rakhungi apna khayal..u also take care. And enjoy urself! Aap kabhi chutti nai lete..abhi mauka hai to don't leave it..enjoy as much as u can! Mere liye waha ki chocolates Leke aana.' He laughed and said 'Ha ha zarur. Pakka.' He was abt to say something else when the director that announced the shoot is beginning,cutting short their talk. The rest of the day passed by in a blur,not leaving them much chance to talk.
At the end of the shoot she wished the entire team good luck for the show and their journey. When she went to say goodbye to Kapil,he hugged her tightly to himself,almost as if he was unwilling to ever let go. She smiled and hugged him back,and after many seconds pulled back,smiled at him and said 'Happy journey,Sharma Ji!' Before turning back and leaving the set,leaving him staring at her in a daze of longing,and confused. Confused bcoz he was sure she was hiding something-The sumona he knew wud never miss out on a trip,no matter what. There was something he was missing. But it was too late to dwell on any of that. He sighed and went home,to pack and get ready for his flight journey,which was at 2pm the next day,17th August. Meanwhile,sumona had reached home. She threw her bag on the table and sat down on her couch,too tired and worn out. The events of today and the past couple of months (all related to Kapil) played in her mind like a loop until she had a headache. She needed to distract herself,big time. At that exact moment,her phone rang,providing that much needed distraction.
She snatched it like a lifeline 'Hello?' The voice on the other side chuckled. 'I didn't know u were so eager to hear my melodious voice,or I wud hv called earlier!' Her smile widened till her cheeks hurt. 'GOVIND!!! ' She exclaimed,thrilled. 'How ARE you? It's been too long! U busy bee..u hv no time for friends. How's it going?' She asked. 'I'm great,Sumo,and I hope u r fine too. Sorry for being busy..but here is a chance to catch up-I hv called to invite u to the wedding of Siddharth and Rupali. The invitation card will reach u tmrw,but I was too excited to wait till that happened.' Sumona gasped. 'Sid and Rupali r getting married??? OMG I'm so happy for them! They deserve all of this..especially Sid!' Siddharth and Rupali were two of Govind's closest friends,and his co-helpers in the NGO he worked for. She had met them a couple of years ago and they had hit it off and become great friends. This news made her delighted.
'I'm glad they r getting married. So when is the date?' She asked. 'It will take a couple of days..I mean u know Indian weddings. The Haldi and Sangeet in on 18th,the Mehendi on 19,party on 20th and then main wedding is on 21st.' Govind chirped excitedly. She grinned. 'U r very happy,aren't u?' He chuckled.' Of course I'm happy..mere best friend ki Barbadi...err I mean mere best friend ki shadi hai!!' Sumona burst out laughing. 'I will definitely come. I'm free on these days,no work. Kaha hai shadi?' Govind suddenly remembered something "Par tu to live show ke liye team ke sath..' Sumona cut him off 'No I am not going for some reasons. Ab bata kaha hai shadi?' Her abrupt tone had him suspicious and he made a note to look into this later. He answered her question. The sentence he uttered made her freeze on the spot,her face pale,her heart pounding,her breath coming out harsh.
'Shaadi LONDON mei hai.'
And dang..that was chapter one. Look who is back! Govind,my fav character.(He is fictional !) For those of u who don't know,he is Sumona's best friend since 12 years,a die hard Punjabi who works for an NGO,has a great heart and a great sense of fun and humour. Read my previous FF 'The only thing' to know more. I just HAD to bring him back. And sorry for ranting so much. Love u all. Waiting for ur reviews..pls leave them here! Xoxo
