Chapter 25

Its a beautiful morning and the sun was shining bright...Sujal opened his eyes and saw Kashish sleeping peacefully in his arms...A smile appeared on his face...He slowly took out his arm from under her head and brought her hand up towards himself with which she was holding him and kissed it without waking her up...He then rested her hand on her stomach and got up...He took his clothes and went into the washroom to get changed...When he got out she was still sleeping...He was looking for a tie but due to confusion he decided to wait for her to wake up...When he thought of something and left the room...After 15 minutes he came in the room with 2 cups of coffee and placed it on the side table and sat next to her on the bed...He ran his hand along her forehead...

Sujal: Kashish...utho dekho 8.30 baj gaye...

She slowly opens her eyes and looks at the window which is bright and sunshine outside............than she looks at him....he was all set to go to office with 2 cups of coffee.........she makes herself comfortable and sits up.........

Kashish: tum kab uthe......muje pata hi nahi chala.....

Sujal: main kuch 40 minutes pehle uttha...tum itne chain ki neend so rahi thi isliye maine jagaya nahin tumhe...achcha ab tumhari tabiyat kaisi hai?

Kashish: main ab bilkul thik hoon........aur muje to ab aadat si hai.......ab tum mere liye pareshan mat ho.........teen char din me thik ho jaungi........

Sujal: ab main tumhare liye pareshan nahin hoga to kya padosi ki biwi ke liye hoga..

Kashish: aisa kabhi sochna bhi mat......tum sirf mere Sujal ho........samaj gaye tum........

Sujal: Itni jalan...kya baat hai

Kashish: isse bhi jyada.......ab muje meri coffee milegi.....

Sujal: ofcourse milegi...par haan ek baat to sach hai..

He goes near her ear and whispers..

Sujal: main sirf aur sirf tumhara hoon...

Kashish: aur main bhi tumhari.....waise tumhari tie kaha gayi.......

Sujal: Oh haan woh actually samaj nahin aaraha tha ki yeh black waali pehnu ke blue waali....abhi dikhata hoon..tum coffee piyo...

He passes her the coffee and put his on side table and gets up and shows her the ties...

Kashish: hmm.........blue wali......nahi tumhari pasand ki blackwali jyada achchi rahegi.........

Sujal: Ok to black waali pehan leta hoon...

He starts to wear his black tie......... She was enjoying her coffee........ When he finishes doing his tie and sits down to drink his coffee...He takes a sip and looks at her with a shocked expression...

Kashish: ab aise kya dekh rahe ho........

He takes her cup and sees its empty...

Sujal: Kashish tumne yeh coffee kyun pi?.....jabke isme namak pada hua hai...tumne kuch kaha kyun nahin?

Kashish: kisne kaha is coffee me namak hai............yeh to duniya ki sabse meethi coffee hai mere liye.........

He just looks at her for a moment and then hugs her tightly.........she hugges him back putting her one hand on his head............

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

Sujal: maine kabhi socha nahin tha ki koi mujse itna pyar kar sakta hai...jabse tum meri zindagi me ayi ho,zindagi ko jeene ka mann karta hai tumhare saath...

she seperates him from her and hold his face in her hands and looks into his eyes.......

Kashish: tumhare liye tumhari kashish kuch bhi kar sakti hai.......namakwali coffee bhi pee sakti hai..........tumhare liye main sare dard sari judaai seh lungi.......lekin tumse durr rehna mere bas me nahi.......tumse pyaar karna mere bas me nahi...........bahot bahot pyaar karti hoon......khud se bhi jyada.......tum meri zindagi ho Sujal......meri saasein.....mera sabkuch tumse hai.........

Sujal brings her hands down and holds them in to his...

Sujal: agar main tumhari zindagi hoon Kashish to tum mere jeene ki wajah...tumse barkar mere liye is duniya me kuch nahin...tumne muje jeena sikhaya...muje pyaar karna sikhaya...is dil ko dhadakna sikhaya...main hamesha tumhare saath rahunga aur chahe duniya tumhare khilaf khadi hojaye,tum hamesha apne saath muje paaogi...

He kissed her hands... Kashish smiles at him.........

Kashish: tum to pure ke pure badal gaye ho Mr.Sujal Garewal........

Sujal: Jaanta hoon...tumhare pyaar ne muje badal diya hai aur main aaj se pehle kabhi itna khush nahin hua jitna ke aaj hun...tumhara pyaar meri zindagi hai Kashish...main har pal tumhara pyar mehsoos karsakta hoon aur issi pyaar ki wajah se aaj meri saansein chal rahi hain...

Kashish: aisa kabhi mat kehna....kisi ke jane se kisi ki saansein nahi ruk sakti......aur main keh rahi hoon na ki hum hamesha saath rahenge...........

Sujal: main vaada karta hoon Kashish...main duniya ki saari khushiyan laake tumhari jholi me daal dunga...aur tumhara saath kabhi nahin chodunga...

Kashish: I love you Sujal........

He takes her in his arms again...

Sujal: I love you too..

she wipes aways her tears from her corner of eyes and seperates herself from him.........

Kashish: ab main taiyaar ho jati hoon..........dair ho rahi hai.......

He touches her face with the palm of his hand..

Sujal: thik hai tum taiyaar ho jao...

She was about to get up from the bed when he holds her and helps her to get up.....she smiles at him and than takes her clothes from closet and went to washroom.....in 15 mins she gets ready and comes to sujal........

Kashish: chale........

Sujal: Haan chalo...

He picks up his briefcase and both leave..

Kashish was working in the old house with workers when she remembers something and goes to kitchen to see Maria.......

Kashish: Maria.....mera ek kaam karenge aap......

Maria: Ji kahiye na mam...

Kashish: woh main kuch painting banana chahti thi..........lekin muje to pata hi nahi ki yaha canvas aur color kaha pe milte hai......kya aap muje lejayenge market........

Kashish informs Rahul she is leaving and to take care of the house and then Kashish and Maria leave for the market...After sometime they reach the market and Maria takes her to the Art shop..

Maria: Mam yeh rahi Art Shop..

Kashish: bahot hi achchi shop hai...aur ghar ke pass bhi.....ab andar chale..........

They both walk inside the shop and Kashish starts to look around the shop for colours.........She was looking at the things when she looked outside and saw some college students at the coffee shop.......She didn't pay attention and started looking for colours when she looked up again and saw a college guy staring at her continuously...........Kashish felt so strange by the way he was staring at her but than she just thought that he is just a college guy....so she went back to check on canvas........She finished selecting the colours and the canvas and came to pay the bill when she saw his reflection in the window again...She was feelin really uncomfortable........Maria was unaware about all this...

Kashish: Maria....ab chale......

Maria: Ji mam chaliye...

They walk out oe the shop...

Kashish: oh main to aapko batana hi bhul gayi........hume pharmcy jana hai.....meri painkiller lene.....

Maria: thik hai mam hum chalte hain...woh samne hi hai.....

They both go towards the pharmacy when Kashish looks back and sees him still staring at her...She looked straight ahead not looking back again and went to the pharmacy...She bought the painkillers and was about to leave with Maria when she saw the guy stood outside the shop looking at her...Kashish was now reaching a point when she was getting really scared...She quickly left the shop with Maria and both went and sat in the car...The driver drove off and Kashish looked in the side mirror and saw him staring again...

Sujal: bata na kya baat hai.......saaf saaf bata.....

Angad: Double chod maine triple amount offer ki par woh us jagah ko bechne ke liye taiyaar hi nahin...

Sujal: uski problem kya hai......woh kyun woh jagah chodne ko taiyaar nahi........

Sujal: thik hai...........main kal khud waha jake usse baat karunga............

Angad: Koi faida nahin Sujal...Main pichle ek mahine se usse baat kar raha hoon

Sujal: main apni aakhri koshish karta rahunga us land ko pane ke liye.......main itni jaldi haar nahi man sakta........

Angad: Sujal main samaj sakta hoon par muje koi raasta nazar nahin aa raha...tu doosri location kyun nahin dekh leta?

Sujal: maine tuje pehle bhi kaha tha ki main Delhi ko nahi chod sakta.........

It was now 8pm and Kashish was sat in the hall waiting for Sujal when she heard his car and got upto open the door...She was stood at the door waiting for him when he comes and a smile appears on his face as he sees her...He kissed her forehead and then embraced her...

Sujal: Hi Kashish...

Kashish: hi Sujal.......aaj aane me dair kar di.....

Sujal: Woh aaj kaam kuch zyada tha..

He lets go of her and she took his coat and bag........He then sits on the sofa resting his head back and eyes closed..

Kashish: bahot thake huye se lagte ho........

Sujal: haa mere us dream project ne muje thaka diya hai...jaanti ho...

When he stops all off a sudden and thinks to himself..

Sujal (to himself): nahi Sujal...tuje Kashish ko nahin batana chahiye..usse kitni takleef hogi yeh jaan ke...usne kitni dua maangi hai us project ke liye...yahaan tak apne jaan ki bhi parwaah nahin ki tumhare sapne ke aage...tum usse nahin bata sakte..

She walks upto him and he looks at her and smiles...He gently holds her hand and makes her sit down next to him.........She sits next to him and looks at him ......she runs her hand through his head which make him smile..........she started to untie his tie........

Sujal: rehne do Kashish main kar lunga........

Kashish: its ok......main kar deti hoon......

She again started to untie his tie..........

Sujal: Waise tum aaj late aane waali thi na?

Kashish: nahi woh meri tabiyat thik nahi thi is liye dophar ko hi aa gayi........

He gets all hyper and holds her from her shoulders..

Sujal: Kya hua Kashish tum thik to ho na?

Kashish: Sujal.......main thik hoon......woh bas aise hi subaah painkiller lena bhul gayi thi to......

Sujal: Kashish tum apna khayal bilkul nahin rakhti...hamesha dawayi lena bhool jaati hoon...aur main bhi kitna bada idiot hoon..Subaah muje tumhe deni chahiye thi par main...kaise bhool sakta hoon main...

Kashish: Sujal......dekho main tumhara samne hoon......main thik hoon ab.......ab pareshan nahi hote.........

Sujal: tum please mere liye apna khayal rakha karo...main tumhe takleef me nahin dekh sakta....

Kashish: achcha ab aage se aisa nahi hoga..........ab tum fresh ho jao......main khana lagati hoon........

Sujal: muje sach me bhook nahin hai aaj...

Saying this he gets up and goes upstairs to their room

Kashish: Sujal suno to......

But he had already left for their room....She gets up and makes his plate and takes it to their room.........she looks for him in the room but he was not there..........she opens her terrese door and sees him sitting on swing holding his head in his hands and somehow he looked in tension.........she walked to him with plate and sat by him and puts her hand on his shoulder........He looked up and let go of his head..

Sujal: kya baat hai Kashish......kuch chahiye?

Kashish: kya pareshani hai Sujal.........

Sujal: nahi...aisi koi baat nahin...woh actually...kal meri ek bohat hi important presentation hai..usko leke nervous hoon

Kashish: tum kyun nervouse hone lage........yeh koi pehli bar to nahi ki tum presentation kar rahe ho........aur itna yaad rakhna ki main tumhare saath hoon........aur baki sab upperwale pe chod do.......aur tumhari kamyabi ke liye kal main unse baat karungi..........ab tum ple tension mat lo aur khana khalo........

He takes her hand from his shoulder and holds it into his and slowly kisses it...

Sujal: jab tum mere saath ho,tumhara pyar mere saath hai aur tumhari dua mere saath hain to main kaise haar sakta hoon...mere liye yahin kaafi hai ki tum ho mere saath.........

Kashish: to phir apni narazgi khane pe kyun utar rahe the........ab muh kholo aaj main tumhe khilati hoon.........

He smiles at her and turns around to face her and he opens his mouth.. ....she smiles at him and starts to feed him..........He quietly sits there and eats whilst staring at her...Then he takes some food and brings it near her mouth..........

Kashish: Sujal main bad me kha lungi........

Sujal: nahi...tum mere saath khaogi kyunki jab tak main tumhe khaate dekh na lun mera pet nahin bharta.........

She just opens her mouth......and he feeds her lovingly with a smile.........and they have their romatic dinner on the swing..........

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

Sujal and Kashish were sleeping in each other's arms.....the clock was ticking at 11:30 PM.......Sujal was thinking about his land problem and Kashish was thinking about the incidence happen in the market.....they both can feel that the other person is awake....

Sujal: yahin ke muje bilkul tumhare jaisi ek beti chahiye..

Kashish: betiiii

Sujal: haa beti!...isme itna hairaan hone waali kaunsi baat hai?

Kashish: Sujal...hamari shaadi ko abhi ek mahina bhi nahi hua....

He rolls on top of her and tightens his grip on her waist looking into her eyes...

Sujal: to kya hua...duniya jaanti hai ki Sujal Garewal jo chahta hai usse paa kar hi rehta hai...

He bent down and kissed her neck and started to bring his lips towards her...closing in the distance between them...

Kashish: Sujal.......tumhe jo chahiye woh main dungi.....lekin is waqt.......

He realises and then moves back into his place...

Sujal: Hey bhagwan!..yeh problem banana zaroori thi kya...achcha khaasa romantic moment bigad gaya...

Kashish: Sujal.....ab bina kuch kahe tum so jao......

Sujal: lekin tum to baaton ke mood me thi na...Kuch kar nahin sakte par kamsekam planning to karsakte hain...Kyun kya kehti ho?

He winks at her and smiles

Kashish: Sujal ab chup chap so jao.....kyunki ab muje neend aa rahi hai aur muje iske bare me koi baat nahi karni.......

Sujal: achcha thik hai...Waqt aane pe baatein nahin kuch aur hi hoga...abhi tum so jao...Goodnight

Kashish: good night.........

He kissed her forehead and held her closer to him and she fell asleep resting her head on his shoulder... leaving a beautiful smile on both of them's lips..........
