"Hello ..baccha ...I couldn't talk to you since the morning ...How are you ? " The old woman asked . Seeing her concern towards him , Kabir smiled . " I'm fine Ma'am ...after coming here , I'm splendid " He replied with a merry . " That's nice ...but one thing .." she made a sad face . Confused at her saying , he gave a questioning look . " You don't need to call me ma'am ...you can call me Nani .." She smiled . More than happy to call her that he was smiling endlessly . " Does this smile have any one behind ..Or is it genuine ? " she asked tongue in cheek . Embarrassed , he blushed and managed to hide it . " Nothing sort of that ..." he spoke . She grinned at his riposte . " Tum keh rahe ho toh theek hai " she laughed . He was totally speechless . Talking for few more time about each others like , dislike and other stuff , the topic came to Nisha , his main focus from the time he found her here .
" I'm so proud of her Nani ..." he was cheery . " ...You too have worked equally hard to help the needy beta .." she encouraged . He couldn't be more blessed than this, he wanted to be a kid in front of them . Playing , sulking , being carefree , he wanted them all . Not that he was selfish , he never got to experience that phase in his life . As a child , being risqu is often common thing , that trait being lost all of a sudden does brings in a crave to do them again and live the life in it ; so was Kabir's desire too . " ...He he thank you " he replied giggling a little .
Moving to his room worn -out and drowsy; he stood by the window side . A beautiful sound of the wind bell chimes in an melodious tune caught his attention towards him . Peeping through the window , he found Nisha standing by the window of her room , getting in fresh air and those chimes making gawking lovable tunes . Her hair tied to a side , fringes moving due to the wind . Sipping some coffee from the mug , smiling happily .
"Looks like someone didn't like me coming here " she teased . " No ...not like that ... what I meant was ..at this hour , aren't you sleepy " he was concerned. " I was ...when I saw you staring at my coffee mug , I thought of offering you some " she said . Feeling embarrassed at her addressing about his staring, that too in an innocent and having a calm judging manner , he took the mug from her hand mumbling a thank you in a audible voice .
" Pleasure is mine Mr.Rathode " She was carefree . "Auh huh " he too was in a playful mood . His like for her was beyond any crush , attraction or sympathy . He adored her for being a strong human being , working for the right , being beautiful inside out . Never in life he saw a woman like Nisha . He felt calm around her , neither being aroused nor being hated. Talking for like hours and having a cock a hoop moments and bursting into jitters having to talk about any thing and everything other than what others generally talk to him about i.e. Money and fame , he realized he was himself around her . She understood him like an open book . A few hours talk made him feel refreshed . He finally got what he exactly looked for , though he never showed out to the world , inwardly having them bottled up yet being strong for his friends , he lived a zombie life . Being with her brought a new and blooming dimension .
"Aap bohat acche ho " Nisha remarked . Staring at her like an alien , he looked confused . " ...yeh ki ..many people on being great celebrities go into attitude and fame based head weight , You don't have that ...aap bohat alag ho " her words like honey and the compliment she gave sounded sweeter than that . Not knowing how to react , he gave a grin . " Well ...some people have inward greatness you see " he winked faking flaunt . "accha " Nisha giggled , her laughs sounded like a rhythm in itself . Phew * he sighed as each cell of his heart was falling for her burly and felt a magic around her . Keeping aside , he smiled . " Ok Mr Rathode ...I'm calling it a night ...aap bhi so jayie .." she said as her eyes were drawing down sleep taking her to rest . She moved outside , leaving an jocund Kabir . Her thoughts stuck in his mind he made his way to the bed slipping into slumber .
With the sunrays falling over him through the window , peeking as if they were playing hide and seek with him . He stirred at little waking up from his dreamy slumber, of course her being in his dreams. He Stepped out , standing next to the window admiring the post dawn morning with the sun tracing paths and frigid breezes . Admiring the kids playing down with the lazy Sunday was up again. The atmosphere here seemed to be a nimble one with all enthusiasm and urge to play. Seeing them cutely bickering and nudging over little things make him chuckle. The next thing he saw froze his world .
Nisha was drying her wet hair standing next to the window . The way she moved her hair along the towel , playing with the water droplets drizzling from them , smiling at that , humming a melody made his heart warm . Her cheeks glowing with shades of pinkish white like that of a bloomed rose . Her skin glimmering with moisture of her morning refreshment. Her eyes shining like gem stones .For him , no one could ever compare a beauty that stood in front of him . He felt a sudden urge to kiss her till she turned breathless.
Wearing a boat neck blue top along with jeans , with her hair tied ,she came out for prayer . She loved to be modern , simple and loved Indian tradition too . Her Nani never judged her choice of clothing, her believe was that Nisha looked cute and adorable in all kinds of clothes of her liking . On moving out , she got reminded of calling Kabir . Moving to his room , she found a happy Kabir .
He was happy of course , falling for someone for the first time had its own happiness . "Good Morning Mr.Rathode " She wished . " Heyy " Kabir was excited . "Aap fresh hogaye ? " she asked smiling . " Yeah ..just now " . " Oh cool then, pls come for down for prayer ... " she said . " Prayer ? " he asked confused . " Yes ...prayer " she gave a grin and went out . Having not prayed much , he wasn't sure of doing them .
He did believe in god , but never prayed for anything . His family too never prayed much , all were busy in their scheduled life . He was the only one who believed that god does exist .
He was walking towards the prayer hall , which had a huge statue of Buddha .The place had white mats for sitting down . Nisha signaled him to sit next to him . Within no time , all the kids surrounded the whole place sitting down being fresh and happy . Having their seats , the kids closed their eyes for silent prayer . Nisha too had her eyes closed and her hand folded . Following her , Kabir too did the same .
Praying the kids and the worlds well being , she prayed for his happiness . She never expressed her feelings for him . The truth was , she had a deep rooted feelings for him which she called love .
For him , the first time they met was the high way. But for her ,the first meet was three years ago , when she saw him giving food and money to a little girl of the age of eighteen or nineteen who was forced to marry a boy and being brutally beaten by him on a street . Before Nisha was to rescue , Kabir stopped the boy scaring the shit out of him . The girl had no family , she had lied to go back home , Kabir offered her help . The only scene , that too of a so called * arrogant , fierce celebrity turning tender hearted made her fall for him hopelessly . That day , she googled about him , all his blogs were of him being the stunning rockstar .For his aggression and passion . Millions of likes ,all called him a perfectionist. His songs had deep meanings, they were only showing the crave of love to her.
But he wasn't hard , for the scene she saw , she knew he was hiding a myriad of pain inside him . All she could see was a pure hearted person masked up in the world of fame . Never the less , she loved him each and every time from the first meet after that too , she met him many times . Some times in the mall, sometimes with his girl friend , she knew Kaira never had true feelings for him , yet she prayed for his happiness . She loved him , she could never imagine anyone else along with her other than him knowing that it can happen only in her dreams .
Praying for like an eternity, she opened her eyes to find him praying. When he opened his eyes , she closed her eyelids with a smile . He only could see an angel sitting next to him . He was at peace . He never wanted this feeling to end. The glow in his face was eating up his every part of living , he wanted to give all that he could to her . Knowing that she will love giving it to the kids and other needy people, still he wanted to give her everything.
Opening her eyes , she smiled at him . He smiled back , this smiling -smiling game was not gone oblivious to her Nani . Seeing some spark growing up , she was content . To pull her leg more , she called Nisha .
Breaking each other's trance , Nisha advanced to her granny .While moving to the kitchen her Nani pulled her leg making her turning into the colour of a scarlet . Telling the servants to cook something delicious , Kabir's favourite Aalo ke Parathe ;Nisha went to play with the kids .
"Nishu didaa " Jai was shouting as he was running . " Nonu !! aaram se ...stopping running ...you just got okay " Nisha was livid . Jai stopped sensing Nisha's concern . Nisha showed out to be strong , she was frightened by the incident that happened to the kid previous week . She felt like being an irresponsible care taker and sister . Guilt over took her , but she was being neutral with her behavior . Kabir did notice her panic and guessed right about her fright. Jai too was careless this time. "Solly dida" jai held his ears . Again his puffed cheeks making her go all awww . She ruffled Jia's hair . " Dida ...Can Kabir jej...I mean dada join our game ? " Jai asked with a puppy face. " Of-course baccha " Nisha smiled .
Playing hide and seek in the huge place , it was Riyaan's turn to catch all of them . Hiding in the car shed , both of them were unaware of each other . Walking behind , Nisha fell on Kabir and he held her and the lips brushed each other as they fell on the ground . Looking into each other's pupils . Kabir and Nisha were able to see each other in them . Nisha shied while she turned crimson with the rush of blood in her cheeks . Getting a clue of each other's feeling . Both of them stood up . "Pakadliyaaa" Riyaan shouted . " Kabir bhaiyyaa " and he closed his eyes for being caught and shy for the event that happened a second before . Nisha blushed and ran away from there . Seeing her innocence , Kabir too blushed like a maniac .
Three days went , both have them were sure that both have them had feelings for each other . Kabir wasn't sure though . Nisha was able to see him falling for her . Not knowing how to react , she kept talking to herself to control .
Kabir's eyes were tied with a black cloth and it was his chance to catch . He loved playing , he was more turning into a jovial and a cool man . He was changed a lot for the past three days . Sometimes cheating , sometimes sulking , Kabir and Nisha woukd get into some cute bickering and later Nisha would bring a cup of coffee or tea along with biscuits as an apology and he would smile . While trying to catch , Kabir tripped up hurting his hand and leg . " Aah " he shouted and Nisha was frantic . Removing the black cloth tied to eyes . Nisha keenly watched his hands and leg, his hand bleeding a little . She somehow made Kabir to walk and took him to his room .
Tears formed in her doe eyes. She made him sit on the bed and got the first aid box hurriedly. The kids ran to granny to tell this and were about to move to Kabir's room when she stopped them knowing what magic was going to happen.
Wiping the blood off from his hand so lovingly , she lightly blew air into them and he closed his eyes feeling the warm breath of hers . " I'm ..I'm sorry its because of my carelessness ...I Should have take care " her words made him sad , she was blaming herself . He never even thought of pointing her for his fall and here she was blaming herself for a small bruise. " Shh " he kept his fingers on her lips . " You're not at fault " he consoled . " No I am !! " she was stubborn . " Really ? ..Would ever blame me if you get hurt like this ? " he asked . She nodded her head in a no . " Why ?" " Cause I trust you ..." she said turning pink . Her words brought a humongous happiness to him . He took her hand and kissed it so lovingly ;She blushed . " I trust you too " he said peck her other hand . His words left her stunned .
"You have all the rights on me Nisha " He was honest .
Rom rom tera naam pukaare
Ek hue din reain hamare
Hum se hum hi chiin gaye hai
Jab se dekhe hai nainn deewane
Sajda ..
Getting such an assuring words from the person whom she loves the most brought made her so much happy .
With ubber care , she treated his hands and his forehead cut . Blowing the wound with care .
Teri kaali ankhiyon se jind meri jaage
Dhadkan se tej daudu, sapno se aagey
Ab jaan lutt jaaye, ye jahaan chhut jaaye
He was looking into her eyes , as if those were made for him . She was more than an open book for him . The care , concern , the love he saw in her eyes was making his breath hitch . Her honesty and innocence was cherry on the cake .
Sang pyaar rahe, main rahun na rahun
Sajda tera sajda,
Din reain karoon na hi chain karoon
Sajda tera sajda
Rak vaar karoon meri jaan lut doon
Feeling her close to him her warmth , her fragrance , her lips close to his skin while blowing over his wound and applying medicine . The pain turned into a wanting. How he wished he had more of the bruise and she would take care of each one of them .
Ab jaan lutt jaaye, ye jahaan chhut jaaye
Sang pyaar rahe, main rahun na rahun
He was making a cute face while closing his eyes as if he was feeling her . Looking at the adorable him , she kissed his forehead near the bruise .
Sajda tera sajda,
(karun mein tera sajda)
Din reain karoon na hi chain karoon
Sajda tera sajda
(karun mein tera sajda)
Rak vaar karoon meri jaan lut doon
He felt his pain vanishing from his forehead . May be an illusion , but it did manage to heal him . Opening his eyes , finding her soul through her orbs and pointed his wounded hand wanting a peck in that too . Her lips touched his hand making him alive and the wound was all forgotten.
"Kabir " Nani was about to enter and both of them straightened . " tum theek ho na beta ? " she asked checking his wounds . " Bikul dadi ...ab tho bikul theek hoon " Kabir said looking at Nisha who was flushed . Nani smiled . " Accha beta .." she ruffled his hair .
" What's bothering you ? " Nisha questioned feeling his silence and confusion . " Nothing " he didn't look into her eyes . " You think I'll believe that ? " Nisha asked folding her arms . Not shocked about her understanding , he was embarrassed to talk about his feelings . He couldn't think of hearing a no from her . He didn't want to move away from her . " ...Some things stay just for a while ...but gives us the world's best happiness " he was smiling sarcastically . Nisha was confused .
" Who said you are alone ? ...I'm with you ...the kids here are with you .." Nisha gave him hope . Staring at her like a little kid asking for his favorite candy , he looked at her with millions of questions . " Even if the earth crushes down ...even if world turns against us ...I'll never leave you " Nisha ensured holding his hand .
Ranjhna... naino ke teer chal gaye
Sajna... saanson se dil sil gaye
Palkon mein chupa loon, oh tera sajda karoon
Seenay mein samaa loon, oh din reain karoon
Palkon mein chupa loon, seenay mein samaa loon
Tere ang ang rang mera bole
Smiling endlessly whilst crying , he hugged her . Stunned by her act , Nisha stood absorbing him and hesitating for her first hug .Her hands crawled up to his shoulder and she hugged him . Both absorbing each other's love . She was more than happy at that point of time , carving for this feeling for three years , she felt home .
Ab jaan lutt jaaye, ye jahaan chhut jaaye
Sang pyaar rahe, main rahun na rahun
Sajda tera sajda,
(karun mein tera sajda)
Din reain karoon na hi chain karoon
Sajda tera sajda
(karun mein tera sajda)
Rak vaar karoon meri jaan lut doon
In the split of seconds ,Kabir realized that he was fallen in love . Irrevocably in love , he realized that he was living his life in these three days . He felt so much at peace . His hold tightened against her .
