Chapter 12

next morning Kashish wakes up and gets ready and comes downstairs and does her puja and than goes to make breakfast........Sujal wakes up and goes to washroom and comes out and starts to get ready for the office when Kashish comes in the room......

Kashish: yeh tie is shirt ke saath achchi nahi lag rahi........

Sujal just looks up at her with a suprised look on his face...

Kashish: main to aise hi keh rahi hoon agar aapko bura laga ho to.....I am sorry..........

Sujal: pehle no sorry in friendship............agar yeh baat hai to tum hi koi tie mere liye select karlo........

Kashish: main kaise aapke liye........mera matlab tumhare liye.....

Sujal: tum apne dost ke liye itna bhi nahin karsakti...........

Kashish: abhi layi.......

She goes upto the cupboard and takes out another tie....He takes out the old one and she comes upto him,passing the tie...

Kashish: is shirt ke saath yeh tie achchi lagegi.......

He fastened the tie and got the first aid box out bringing it towards her....

Sujal: tum betho...agar zaroorat parri to main change kar dunga...........

Kashish sits down on the bed.......he takes her hand and open the wound and looks at her..........

Sujal: yeh abhi poori tarah se thik nahin hua...aisa karo abhi yeh rehne do,main raat ko badal dunga...

He fastens the old bandage again .........

Kashish: thik hai..........ab chalke breakfast kar le maine sab taiyaar kar diya hai........

Sujal: haa chalo...

They both go down and eat there breakfast...After they finished, Sujal was about to go to work...

Sujal: Ok...abhi main chalta hoon...tum apna khayal rakhna...Bye

Kashish: bye........

after Sujal left......Kashish opens her bandages and took the knife and about to poke the end of the knife on her wound when Sujal opens the door and looks at her in shocked.......

Sujal: KASHISHHHHHH!...

He rushes towards her taking the knife out of her hand...

Sujal: yeh sab kya hai Kashish............

Kashish: main nahi chahti ki mera yeh zakham kabhi thik ho........

Sujal: lekin kyun..........

Kashish: kyunki is zakham se tum meri parwaah karte ho........isi bahane tum mere pass aate ho..........main nahi chahti ki yeh zakham kabhi thik ho aur tum mujse durr ho........

Sujal looks at her surprised at her words...

Sujal: Kashish main tumse vaada karta hoon ki tumhe jab bhi meri zaroorat paregi,tum muje apne saath paaogi...lekin tum mujse vaada karo ki aaj ke baad yeh sab nahin hoga.............

Kashish; main vaada karti hoon ki aaj ke bad kabhi aisa nahi karungi..........

Sujal: thanks....ab lao main bandage badal deta hoon..............

Kashish: woh upper se main le aati hoon...........

Sujal: nahi tum yahin ruko,main laata hoon...

Before she could say anything further,he went to get the first aid box............after sometime he came down with the box................

Kashish: tum rehne do tumhe dair hogi.......main kar lungi..........

Sujal: nahi bilkul nahin...aur mat bhulo maine abhi abhi tumse vaada kiya hai ki tumhe jab meri zaroorat hogi,to tum muje apne paas paaogi...ab haath aage karo .............

she lifts her hand and puts it on his hand and just lost in his eyes........he starts to slowly remove the bandage on her hand but his eyes were fixed on her...He then looked at the wound and slowly cleaned it,making sure it didn't hurt her and then fastened the new bandage...

Sujal: lo...ho gaya ..............

Kashish: I am sorry........meri waje se.........

Sujal: Please Kashish...don't be sorry....dosti me sorry aur thank you ki koi jagah nahin...

Kashish: ab main thik hoon lekin tum ghar kyun wapas aaye the........

Sujal: woh meri file table pe reh gayi thi...aur thankgod aisa hua............

Kashish: kyun......

Sujal: kyunki agar yeh file na reh jaati to tum khud ko chot pohanchati aur muje pata bhi na chalta..........

Kashish: lekin ab main thik hoon............tum jao......tumhe diar hogi.......

Sujal: thik hai main chalta hoon....par please tum apna khayal rakhna...Bye

Kashish: bye........

He picked his file and then left

********************************************************************************

it is 10:20 PM in the clock when Kashish hears his car voice and goes to kitchen to bring the food on table.........sujal comes and sits on the sofa and starts loosen his tie .......when she comes out with the food and puts on the table and looks at him..........she take a glass of water to him..........

Kashish: lagta hai tum bahot thak gaye ho....yeh lo paani.........

He drinks the water and she takes the glass

Sujal: aaj bohat kaam tha,isliye thak gaya hoon..........

Kashish: tum pehle khana kha lo aur phir jake so jao.......

Sujal: Haan....Chalo...

Both go onto the dining table and she serves him food and both begin to eat.........after some times he finishes his food and went to his room and she takes the dishes to the kitchen......... After sometime she went in the room and saw he was packing his bag.........

Kashish: tum thak gaye ho tum chaho to main tumhari madad kar sakti hoon......mera matlab tum so jao......packing main kar deti hoon........

Sujal: nahi koi baat nahin,main manage karlunga....waise bhi tumhe nahin pata ki muje kis cheez ki wahan zaroorat hogi....tum aaraam karlo..........

Kashish: thik hai...........aap muje kapde de dijiye main achche se fold karke rakh deti hoon bag me...........main kamse kam itna kaam to kar sakti hoon.........

Sujal: thik hai....yeh rahe kapde...

Kashish kapde ko fold karke bag me rakhne lagti hai lekin kuch aise hi upset lag rahi hoti hai .........kyunki pehli bar shayad woh is ghar me akeli rehne wali hai..........

Sujal looks at her and asks...

Sujal: Kashish ........tum yahan theek to rahogi na.......mera matlab hai raat ko akele darr to nahin lagega na tumhe...........

Kashish: nahi......woh......woh main thik hoon........tum meri fikar mat karo........main sambhal lungi aur phir Maria bhi hai.......

Sujal: hmmm...koi bhi problem huyi to muje phone kar dena.......

Kashish: thik hai.......

They begin to pack again...Kashish had folded the clothes and was putting them inside the bag and Sujal was about to put some things in when his hand landed on top of hers...Her heart just skipped a beat at his touch...It wasn't the first time he had touched her but there was something sensational she felt today as his hand was on hers...He was just looking at her for sometime and she was lost in his eyes too...His hand still on top of hers,when she could no longer take his gaze and she looked down...He realised his hand was on hers and he quickly lifted it...They didn't say anything for sometime....Then Sujal picked up a file...

Sujal: Kashish...tum please is file ko zarra sambhaal ke rakhna..............bohat important file hai...........

Kashish: kyun is file me kuch khaas hai............

Sujal: yeh file mere liye bohat khaas hai...yeh mera dream project hai............

Kashish: dream projecttttt

Sujal: haa...yeh project mera sapna hai aur main ek din isse pura karna chahta hoon...I just hope mera dream project ek din pura ho jaye.......

Kashish: tumhara dream project hai to zaroor pura hoga.......main tumhare saath hoon........

Sujal just passes her a smile..

Sujal: Kashish achcha laga ki tum mera saath de rahi ho.............

Kashish: main to hamesha se hi tumhare saath hoon..........ab yeh dekho packing bhi ho gayi..........tum ab so jao......tum thak gaye ho.......

Sujal: haa...aur phir subaah jaldi nikalna hai....main fresh hoke aata hoon......

Kashish: thik hai........

Sujal takes his clothes and goes into the washroom...He comes out dressed and lays down on the bed...He was about to switch off the light when he stops..

Sujal: Kashish....

Kashish: hmmmmm.....

Sujal: Goodnight...

He smiles at her and then switches off the light and goes to sleep....

Kashish: suno....

Sujal: kya hua............

Kashish: woh kal kitne baje tumhe nikalna hai........

Sujal: Subaah 8 baje thak ghar se nikalna hai.........

Kashish: ok........goodnight......

Sujal: Goodnight...aur tum bhi jaldi so jaana

Kashish takes her clothes and went to washroom and get changed when she comes out she sees him sleeping peasefully...........she smiles at him and opens his closet and takes out his mobile charger and puts it in his bag............she goes to her side and takes out her diary........

Kashish (in her diary): muje nahi pata tha ki Sujal ke yeh chote chote kaam karne me muje itni khushi milti hai.........pata nahi lekin muje achcha nahi lag raha ki woh mujse teen din ke liye durr ja raha hai.......lekin uska jaana bhi zaroori hai aur main samaj sakti hoon........lekin aaj jab unka haath muje chua to ek pal ke liye meri duniya hi tham si gayi.............pata nahi mere dil ko kya hua lekin ek ehsaas dil me chod gaya.......pata nahi yeh teen din kaise bitenge kyunki ab tumhare saath ki muje aadat pad gayi hai........

She closes her diary and puts it in her drawer...She lies down thinking about how she is going to spend the next 3 days without seeing Sujal...She turned to look at his side and a tear drop rolled down her cheek...But then the thought that he would be back after 3 days made her feel a little stronger and she wiped away her tears and closed the light...
