Angad was waiting for Sujal in his office when the door opened and Sujal came in all in happy mood.....he put his bag on the desk and throws his coat on the chair and comes to angad where he was sitting on the chair......he sits on the desk and smiles at Angad......Angad was suprised seeing his behaviour...

Angad: Sujal...teri tabiyat to thik haina.......

Sujal: main perfactly thik hoon.........aur by the way next time thoda dair se aana........kyunki tumhari to shaadi nahi huyi lekin meri to ho gayi hai...........aur muje meri biwi ke saath thoda personal time chahiye.............

Angad just looks at him...

Angad: tu pagal bana raha hai kya muje........lagta hai subaah subaah pee ke aaya hai.......

Angad: nahi burai to nahin...bas tu kissi se pyaar karega kabhi socha nahin tha...par jab baat Sujal Garewal ki ho to kuch bhi namumkin nahin hota............

Sujal:tu hamesha se sahi tha........tum jante ho Angad ........jab muje ehsaas hua ki main uski jo parwaah karta hoon woh aise hi nahi tha woh mera pyaar tha Kashish ke liye........aur yeh janne ke bad zindagi kitni khuburat lagne lagi hai Kashish ke saath...........ab to ek pal bhi main apni zindagi kashish ke bina nahi soch sakta...........shayad mere liye woh mera sabkuch ban gayi.......

Angad: tuje itna khush dekh ke muje bohat khushi horahi hai...hamesha aise hi rehna............

Sujal: main bata nahi sakta ki main kitna khush hoon ki maine Kashish se apne dil ki baat keh di aur sabse jyada woh bhi mujse pyaar karti hai........

Angad: main tum dono ke liye bohat khush hoon...

When all of a sudden Angad's phone rings...He sees the phone and excuses himself to his cabin...Sujal was suprised so follows him...

Angad: main tumhe raat ko phone karunga...Take care...Bye..

When Angad closes the phone and smiles...He turns around to find Sujal...

Angad: haa muje Kripa pasand hai....Actually i love her...

Sujal: kya Kripa bhi tujse pyaar karti hai.........

Sujal: mere khayal se tumhe Kashish se baat karni chahiye kyunki is mamle me woh hi kuch kar sakti hai.........

Angad: main ek din aaunga tere ghar...tuje problem na ho to...I mean muje kabab me haddi banne ka koi shauq nahin...

Sujal: apni bakwas bandh kar aur woh bhi tera hi ghar hai...........

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

Ab shaam ke 5 baj jaate hai aur Kashish apne kamre me Sujal aur apni shaadi ki tasveer dekh ke muskura rahi hoti hai jab wahan pe Maria aati hai...

Maria: Sorry to disturb you mam...lekin aaj dinner me kya banana hai..........

Kashish: wahi jo roz banta hai........haa sirf Raghu se kahiyega ki thikha thoda kam kare.........

Maria: Ok mam main boldungi...

Maria starts to leave from there...

Kashish: ek minute Maria...........Raghu se kaho ki kuch na banaye kyunki aaj ka khana main bana rahi hoon..........

Maria: koi khaas din hai kya?

Kashish: aaj ka din meri zindagi ka sabse khaas din hai.......

Maria: aaj aap bohat khush lag rahi hain...

Kashish: aaj main bahot khush hoon...........kyunki aaj hi ke din Sujal ne mujse kaha ki woh mujse pyaar karta hai aur main bhi Sujal se bahot pyaar karti hoon.......

Maria: kya!...Sach me!...aaj main bohat khush hoon aap dono ke liye...main bata nahin sakti yeh jaanke muje kitni khushi hui hai..........

Kashish: Thanks Maria.......ab neeche chal ke Raghu ko bhi bhagana hoga kitchen se........kya aap meri madad karenge.........

Maria: Kyun nahin...Chaliye...

Now both go down into the kitchen...

Raghu: Mam aap yahan...........kuch chahiye tha kya?

Kashish: woh aaj koi khana banane ki zaroorat nahi kyunki hume dinner ke liye bahar jana hai kisi ke yaha........

Raghu: par mam meri duty 7 baje khatam hoti hai

Kashish: lekin main aapko keh rahi hoon na ki ab koi kaam nahi to aap ghar ja sakte hai.......

Raghu: Ji mam...

Raghu leaves from there and Kashish and Maria pass a smile to each other and then begin to prepare dinner............when Kashish remembers that Sujal told her once that he loves halwa......so she gets carrots from freeze and makes it .......

Kashish: Maria inhe taste karke bataiye kaisa bana hai..........

Maria tastes it and looks at her...

Maria: Sorry mam par yeh achcha nahin banna...cheeni ki jagah aapne shayad isme namak dal diya...

Kashish: ab kya karon.......maine so sare gajjar isme dal diye.....ab to market bhi bandh ho gaya hoga..........

Maria just smiles..

Maria: aap udaas kyun hoti hain...main mazak kar rahi thi...Halwa bohat hi achcha banna hai...kyunki aapne isme apna pyar milaya hai...

Kashish smiles and they finish up with the remaining work and Maria just went home after work.........

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

Kashish was waiting for Sujal sitting on the sofa in the hall watching TV when she didnt realise that she fall on sleep.........it was 8'0 clock when Sujal opens the door and comes in........he smiled at looking at her.........without making any noise ....he puts his bag and coat on other sofa and takes a remote from the table and shut off TV.......and slowly goes to Kashish and bends down and kiss her forehead.............that makes her awake.......she gets up and her smile become wider seeing him............

Kashish: tum kab aaye.......

Sujal: jab maine is khubsurat pal me tumhe chain ki neend sote huye dekha tab..

Kashish; woh bas aise hi aankh lag gayi shayad medicine ki waje se......

Sujal:achcha thik hai....waise kya hum dinner karsakte hain...muje bohat bhook laggi hai

Kashish: chalo...main lagati hoon........

Sujal goes and sits on the dining table and she brings the food out...She serves him and he sees the halwa and just looks a her....

Sujal: kashish....yeh....

Kashish: us din tumne muje kaha tha na ki tumhe yeh halwa pasand hai to aaj ke din main kuch tumhare liye banana chahti thi.........muje pata hai lekin tum nahi khana chahte to main samaj sakti hoon...........

Sujal: tumhe aisa kyun lagga ki main nahin khaana chahunga....tumne mere liye itne pyar se banaya hai, main zaroor khaaunga.............

Sujal takes a bite from the food and looks at her

Sujal: Kashish...kya yeh tumne banaya hai?

Kashish: haa lekin tumhe kaise pata.......

Sujal: kyunki isme tumne apna pyar milaya hai...iska swaad roz ke khaane se alag hai

Kashish: haa woh aaj aise hi mann kiya to.......

Sujal: lekin maine tumhe manna kiya tha na ki tum kamre se baahar nahin aaogi...phir bhi tumne yeh sab banaya..kyun Kashish?

Kashish: I am sorry Sujal....i promise ki agli bar aisa nahi hoga.....ple is baar muje maff kar do.......

Sujal just smiles at her...

Sujal: Waise khaana bohat achcha banna hai.....bohat waqt ke baad itna achcha khaana khaaya maine

Kashish: thik hai kal se sara kaam me hi karti hoon.........maria aur raghu ko chuti de deti hoon.........

Sujal: nahin bilkul nahin...main nahin chahta tum koi bhi kaam karo....tum jaanthi nahin meri zindagi me kya aimiyat hai tumhari...tum mere liye bohat special ho aur main kabhi nahin chahunga tum yeh sab karo

Kashish: tum kehte ho to thik hai lekin kabhi kabhi to.......ple....

Sujal: thik hai kabhi kabhi to chalega kyunki tumhare haath ka khaana kuch alag hi hai

He begins to eat again...as he takes the spoon to his mouth she holds onto his hand...........She takes the spoon from him and feeds him......he eats it and smiles at her and then holds her hand and kisses it slowly and she blushes and looks down.............Then they continue eating and enjoying each other's company............

Ab raat ke 10 baj jaate hai aur Sujal apne kamre me kaam kar raha hota hai jab Kashish kamre me aati hai....woh usse kaam karta dekh ke usse disturb nahin karna chahti thi isliye woh kuch kahe binna jaake chat ke zule pe beth jaati hai aur aise hi sitaron ko dekhne lagti hai...Kuch dair baad Sujal wahan dekhta hai aur apni files ko sambhal ke drawer me rakh ke woh baahar uske paas jaata hai aur uske saath beth jaata hai.........Woh uski taraf dekhta hai...

Sujal: kya dekh rahi ho Kashish?

Kashish: kuch nahi .........lekin tum yeh batao ki kal tumhari meeting kitne baje ki hai kyunki agar tumhe dair ho gayi to khud ke saath muje bhi pagal kar donge subaah subaah........

Sujal looks up at the sky...

Sujal: kal main office nahin ja raha...muje ek din aise hi apne liye chahiye..........main kal ka din mama aur papa ki yaadon ke saath bitana chahta hoon.........

Kashish: main tumhe samaj sakti hoon.........her insaan ko kabhi kabhi akele rehna chahiye lekin itna yaad rakhna ki ab tum akele nahi ho......main tumhare saath hoon.........hum sab kuch bat lenge yaha tak ki tumhari in yaadoin ko bhi..........

Sujal:tum jaanti ho jab main chota tha to bohat zyada masti karta tha...hamesha mama papa ko tang karta tha..mama kitna gussa hoti thi mujpe.........aaj bahot yaad aati hai un sabki.aur meri hi wajah se woh is duniya se...

Kashish: us din kya hua tha Sujal........

Sujal: us din mama aur papa party pe gaye the aur main chahta tha ki woh jaldi wapis aaye...Maine unhe phone kiya aur kaha ki muje chot laggi hai to jab woh wapas aarahe the papa ki gaari ki speed bohat tez thi aur us raat bohat tez baarish thi...aur aise me unki gaari truck se....

Sujal just stops and closes his eyes...A tear drop rolls down his cheek ...Kashish wipes his tears and holds his hands in hers and looks at him.........

Kashish: main tumhare dard ko samaj sakti hoon.......

Sujal: Woh din main aaj tak nahin bhool paya...muje aisa lagta hai jaise is sab ka main zimmedaar hoon...tabhi se muje yeh hassi mazaak,yeh parties se nafrat hone laggi hai...muje us hadse ne puri tarah se badal diya tha...main to jeena hi bhool gaya...apna saara waqt main khud ko kaam me uljaye rakhta tha taki in sab soch ko apne zehen se nikaal sakun...aur shayad isi wajah se main tumhare saath aise pesh aaya...kyunki muje kissi rishte me bandhne se ab darr lagta hai...aisa lagta hai jaise main kissi se pyar karunga to woh muje chod ke chala jayega...Kashish tum muje chod ke to nahin jaaogi na...main ab aur takleef bardasht nahin karsakta...muje yeh akelapan andar hi andar khaye jaata hai...tum mera saath mat chodna...nahi ji paunga main...

Kashish puts her hand on his mouth .......

Kashish: aaj keh diya to keh diya aage se aisa sochna bhi mat.....kabhi tumne socha hai tumhare bina mera kya hoga........aur jo ho gaya use to main badal nahi sakti lekin main ab se tumhari zindagi ko khushi se bharne ki koshish to kar sakti hoon..........aur main hi nahi Sujal balke mama papa bhi tumhe khush dekhna chahte hai.........tumne kabhi socha hai ki tumhe aise dekh ke unhe kitna dukh hoga...........aur hum jise pyaar karte hai woh kahi pe bhi chala jaye lekin woh hamare dil me hamesha rehta hai..........aur main vaada karti hoon ki main saat janam tak tumhe kahi chodke nahi janewali.........kyunki tumhare bina tumhari Kashish reh nahi sakti..........hum saat janam ke SAAJHI hai.........

He brings her hand down from his mouth and holds it in his...

Sujal: tum mere saath ho to muje aur kuch nahin chahiye....aur shayad tum sahi keh rahi ho...main mama papa ko takleef nahin dena chahta aur na hi tumhe....ab se main apni zindagi jiyunga...tumhare saath...aur main vaada karta hoon Kashish...Jo takleef maine tumhe di hain usse kahin zyada pyar main tumhe dunga...tumhari zindagi ko main khushion se bhar dunga aur tumhara saath kabhi nahin chorunga...

Kashish smiles at him........

Kashish: nayi zindagi ki shuruaat ke liye kabhi dair nahi hoti lekin filhaal sone ke liye dair ho rahi hai.........

He smiles back...

Sujal: haa tum bohat thak gayi ho...chalo chalke sote hai...

He gets up from the swing and extends his hand infront of her...She smiles and holds his hand and he helps her up and they both walk inside...

Sujal: main fresh hoke aata hoon...

He takes his clothes and goes to the washroom to get changed...she sits on the bed and opens her drawer and gets the diary and writes down when he comes out........

Sujal: Ab diary me likhne ki kya zaroorat hai.......ab tum apne dil ki baat mujse keh sakti ho na..

Kashish: tumse to jo kehna tha keh diya aur diary ko main nahi chod sakti jis tarah main tumhe nahi chod sakti............shhhh......ab disturb mat karo muje........

Kashish (in her diary): aaj samaj me nahi aa raha ki kya likhu.......shabd hi nahi mil rahe apni khushi ko is kagaz pe likhne ke liye............aaj bata nahi sakti ki main kitni khush hoon........jo kal tak sirf sapna tha mere liye woh aaj haqeeqat ban gaya........maine to Sujal se pyaar kiya tha lekin muje nahi pata tha ki woh bhi........jis pal maine yeh suna ki Sujal mujse pyaar karta hai meri to duniya hi tham gayi..........aaj sabkuch kuch jyada hi khubsuart lagta hai..........samaj me nahi aata kya karoon kya nahi.........woh kehte hai na ki pyaar me akshar log pagal ho jate hai..............shayad aaj main bhi unme se ek hoon.........lekin main aaj sari duniya ko khul ke kehna chahti hoon ki...........I Love Sujal...............

Sujal sits down beside her on the bed...

Sujal: kya likha aaj tumne........

Kashish: aisa kuch nahi likha jo tum nahi jante..........

Sujal: oh to main aisa kya jaanta hoon jo tumne likha?

Kashish: sab kuch to jante ho phir bhi puch rahe ho.

Sujal: haa kyunki tumhari aawaz se sunke achcha lagta hai...

Kashish: muje kuch nahi kehna........main ja rahi hoon fresh hone......

She opens the drawer and puts the diary back and leaves leaving him smiled......after some time she comes out and sees him sat on the bed smiling at her...

Kashish: kya baat hai abhi tak soye nahi.......

Sujal: tumhara chehra dekhe binna kaise so sakta hoon...

Kashish; aisi kaunsi baat hai....

Sujal: yeh pucho ki aisi kaunsi baat nahin....tumhe dekh ke dil ko sukoon milta hai aur na dekhun to dil me bechaini rehti hai

Kashish smiles and just goes to dresser and puts her choodi and than goes to her side and sits........Sujal just looks at her for sometime...

Sujal: Kashish...

Kashish: hmmmmm.......

Sujal: tumhara zakhm ab kaisa hai...

Kashish: thik hai ab......

Sujal: Ok...phir theek hai....ab tum so jao...Goodnight

Kashish: good night..

She lies down and turns off the light and he does the same...He looked at her and she was facing the other way...He went closer to her and moved his face towards her head...He bent forward towards her ear and whispered......

Sujal: I love you...

Kashish turns around and puts her head on his shoulder while holding his hand....

Kashish: i love u too

He just smiled and slowly kissed her forehead which made her close her eyes and then he wrapped his arms around her,holding her close to himself...Both fell asleep with a cute smile on their face...
