PART 19

{{RECAP: K:Laksh tum mujhe kabhi chodke toh nahin jaaoge naa..?

He took her hands with both his hands,raised them to his lips and kissed them..Then he kissed her forehead..And then he hugged her...

L:Main hamesha tumhare saath rahoonga Kt..And I will never leave you...
K:(smiling)I love you Laksh….
}}

Sania and one of her friends had come to the kitchen to take some water in their bottles for them to drink in the night...Sania heard this conversation between Laksh and Kt and she saw them hugging each other..

Both of them didn't make any sound and they came to the hall....

Sa:(to her friend)Ohh!!So these people are in love.....Now I understood why that Kt was so furious when I hugged Laksh....Bechara mera Laksh...!!Uss Kt ne mere Laksh ko apni jaal mein phassaakar mujhse alag ki hai...
Fr :Remember Sania..She slapped you...!!You should never forget that..
S:Forget...??I will never forget...I will teach her a lesson...Sania se takkar lene ki keemat chukaani hogi usse...(smiles with an evil look)

And both of them go away...

Meanwhile at the backyard :

Laksh and Kt come to their senses and both of them pulled out of their hug...

L:Kt, raat bahut ho chuki hai...Lets go and sleep..
K:Haan...Chalo..

************************
It was morning....The sun's rays were playing on Kt's face...The time was 6 am....Kt got up, brushed and took her bath.Then she went to Sneha and Prachi both of whom were still sleeping...She shook both of them and woke them up..They also brushed and took their bath...

Now the time was 7 am..It was the time for starting their works...All the students assembled in the hall downstairs...Kalpana M'am came to them...

K:Good morning students....Today we can clean the whole village...You would have noticed all the waste materials accumulated here and there....All the groups have been allotted different areas for cleaning..All you have to do is to clean the surroundings, collect all the waste materials and dispose them properly...I will give you the necessary instructions after I divide the works for each group...
************************
They had started their work...Neev's group had got the cooking job for lunch that day...
Laksh's group had got the job to clean the pond which was polluted with waste plastic bags and weeds and moss..So Laksh,Manthan,Kt and the other group members were standing on the steps to the pond...

L:Who all know swimming..?

All the boys and one girl (Jyothi) raised their hands..

L:Jyothi,there is no need for you to enter into the pond....We boys will collect the wastes from the pond and give it to you girls..You can go and dispose them properly...

Then Laksh,Manthan and the other 3 boys removed their shirts and watches and kept them on the steps with their mobiles..They jumped into the water...

*******************
After some time Kt was walking to the pond after disposing the wastes...When she reached there, she saw only Laksh swimming in the pond..The pond was mostly cleaned by now..Laksh was collecting the final round of wastes..

K:Where are the others Laksh..?
L:They will come now..They have gone to wash themselves in the river...
K:If you have finished you also come up Laksh..
L:Yeah..I am coming...

Laksh swam back to the steps with the remaining wastes..His body was all wet and covered in moss. Now the pond was really clean…

L:Kt,you look after our mobiles,watches and all..I will dispose these wastes and come..

Laksh left from the pond and Kt was sitting alone in the pond's edge with her feet in the water..She was looking in the water which was rippling around her feet..It was really cold..

Sania was walking along the pond and she saw Kt sitting there alone..She came to her..

Sa:Hello Miss.Kt…(with a rude look)
K:(equally rudely)Hello…
Sa:(sits near her)Waise tumhe badi khushi ho rahi hogi na..?
K:Woh kyun?
Sa:(looks to the water)Kyunki Laksh tumhe pasand karta hai aur..
K: (irritatedly)Dekho Sania..Tumhe kya chahiye..?Tumhe koyi kaam nahin hai kya?
Sa:Mujhe kya chahiye?? Mujhe Laksh chahiye..!! Kya tum de sakti ho??? Tum ne usse apni jaal mein phassaakar mujhse alag ki hai...
K:(angrily gets up)Sania mind your words…!!
Sa:(gets up and faces Kt)Nahin toh…??Tum kya karlogi Kt?(pushes Kt on her shoulders)Mujhe maarogi..?haan..?(again pushes on her her shoulders)
K:(moves backwards showing her index finger)Sania…

But suddenly Kt's foot hit on a stone and when Sania again pushed her, Kt slipped and fell right into the deep pond…Kt began to drown as she didn't know how to swim..She was struggling hard to remain on the surface of water…Water entered through her nose and mouth….She was struggling to breathe…..

K:Sania…Please mujhe bachaao….(struggles to breathe)…Bachaao..
Sa:(shocked)Oh my God..!!I don't know even to swim…I can't rescue her….If someone sees me here they will doubt me…Oh no!!I will have to go from here…

But when Sania turned to leave she saw Laksh…..!!

L: Kt…Oh no!!
K:LAKSH…(goes down the water and again comes up)…Lak…sh…(again her head goes down)

Sania was rooted to spot and shocked beyond limits..Laksh looked at her with anger and contempt…..Then without wasting time he jumped into the water..He caught Kt's long hair pulled her up and swam back to the steps…Then he laid her on the step and pressed her stomach. Water came gurgling out of her mouth and nose..….

L:Kt…Kt…(shakes her)

But Kt was still unconscious and cold…. Laksh began to rub her feet and hands with his hands for heat…Sania felt really bad and she bent down and was about to touch Kt..

L:(stops Sania)Tum Kt ko choona bhi mat Sania..Why you didn't try to help her..?
Sa:(tears filling her eyes)I am sorry Laksh…But I don't know to swim…
L:But you could have called anyone…Instead,you were going to leave!!…I heard you saying so…Tumhe apni friend kehte huye mujhe sharam aata hai…Agar Kt ko kuch ho gayi toh main tumhe kabhi maaf nahin karoonga…Waise tum yahan kar kya rahi thi..?(then doubtfully) Kahin tumne hi toh Kt ko...?

Suddenly Kt coughed and opened her eyes…

L:Kt…
K:(coughs)Laksh…(and she sits up)

L:(hugging her tightly)Oh Kt….Thank god!!Tum teek toh ho…Kaise ho gaya yeh sab..?Kya is Sania ne....?
K:(voice shivering)Woh… mere pair slip hogayi thi…bas..(and cries)
L:(pats on her back)Don't cry Kt..Its alright..Now you are safe…Come on lets move to the house…

Laksh helped Kt to get up…But Kt couldn't move because her leg had sprained because of the slipping…Laksh scooped her up in his powerful arms and he walked in the direction of the house carrying her...Kt leaned her head on his chest and closed her eyes..Manthan and the other boys who were coming back after washing themselves in the river came to them.

M: Laksh, kya hua Kt ko?Kya woh behosh hain?
L:Nahin..But she fell in the pond and I rescued her...Pata nahin kya hota agar main wahan par time par nahin pahunchtha..Oh my god !!Main soch bhi nahin sakta hoon..Agar Kt ko kuch...(shudders at the thought..)
M:(pats his shoulder)Thank god Kt teek toh hai..Tum Kt ko leke ghar chalo...I will go and inform Kalpana M'am..

Manthan and the others went away…Laksh reached the hall in the house and made Kt sit on the steps of the staircase..Kt was shivering badly because of falling in the cold water…Laksh went into his bedroom and took his blanket..He came to Kt and wrapped her with that blanket…Then he sat beside her..

L:Kt,tumhe aur kya chahiye..?
K:Tum bas mere paas baitho…

Laksh moved closer to her and she leaned on to his shoulders…….
