CHAPTER - 1
It is a very sweet and beautiful morning.Birds are chirping in the sky and a cool breeze is flowing throughout the room.In the bed,a lady slowly removed the blanket over her body and broke the dizziness of her sleep.She slowly got up from her bed,fixed her nightsuit and went to the balcony.She spread her hands and felt the fresh air.The air was touching her creamy skin.Her hair was flying.Every touch of the air was making her shiver.A hand then surrounded her waist from the back and another hand removed her hair from the left corner of her neck and kissed on the neck.A curve appeared on her lips.She touched the hand on her waist and was enjoying every touch of the lips.Suddenly the phone rang and disturbed the whole situation.She,with an irritating face said,"Uff ye phone bhi na,puri subhe ka..." and turned but found herself alone in the room.She was sad.This was her daily routine since the last two years.She slowly walked towards the phone.She slowly walked towards the phone.She picked the phone and read the name.It was ROHIT.A wide smile again curved on her face.She picked up the call.The convo-
ROHIT : Good Morning,my lady love,Ananya.
ANANYA : A very good morning,Rohit.
R : Phone uthaane mein itni der kyu lagi?Kiske baare mein soch rahi thi?
A : Vo main kyu batau?
R : Achcha mujhe nehi bataogi?
A : Nehi ye secret main kisiko nehi bataungi.
R : Ok.Accha maine bas ye yaad dilaane ke liye phone kiya tha ke aaj editor ke saath bohot important meeting hai.
A : Ha mujhe yaad hai aur ek favour chahiye tha.Aur ek favour chahiye tha?Kya tum mujhe aaj jaate waqt pick up kar sakte ho please?
R : As you wish,Your Highness!By the way I LOVE YOU.
A : Hmm ya.
They both cut the call.
ANANYA RAWAT and ROHIT MAFATLAL both work for the same newspaper THE MUMBAI TIMES in Mumbai.Both their families live in Delhi.5 years ago both used to work at THE MAFATLAL EXPRESS in Delhi.Actually Rohit was the one and only son of the owner of that newspaper.He loved Ananya from then but he didn't get the opportunity to express.But later after 3 years,they moved to Mumbai.Both are the best in their respective fields.Ananya is a CRIME REPORTER and Rohit's passion is sport.Both are very good friends.Ananya had some ugly memories in Delhi,so,in order to rebuilt her life again,she left for Mumbai. Rohit,too,after some days joined with her.Rohit,too,emotionally supported her to get her out of her trauma,but still some wounds are never healed.Rohit,later on expressed his love for her,which she accepted after some time thinking it might be the new beginning of her life.Both possessed a common quality.They are the STAR REPORTERS.Rohit is tall,dark and handsome.He had a very seductive physical appearance which replaced the content of the dreams of his female colleagues.They used to admire him a lot and have a secret desire of having a date or sharing the bed with him.But Rohit always maintains a professional relationship with everyone and very smartly and politely avoids those looks.The only person,for whom,his heart beats is Ananya.Ananya is the most beautiful,attractive and courageous lady in her office.All the male colleagues admire her,but never dare to approach her because of her tough attitude.She can go to any extent to bring out the truth.All the ladies are jealous of her mostly due to Rohit.
In her apartment,Ananya is busy with her daily jobs,first having bath,doing the morning prayers,preparing breakfast etc.She quickly changed her dress into a professional one,put on a light make-up,put her i-card around her neck,took her bag and opened the drawyer to take the door key.As she picked up the door-key the first face she saw at the beginning of the day which for a second pinched all her wounds.She moved her fingers on the photograph.She hates to see the face,she hates to see the smile which once used to be her lucky charm and she used to forget all her tiredness and sadness.Though she hates,but still she keeps the door key on that particular drawyer with an unknown attraction everyday.She soundfully closed the drawyer and went out of her apartment.When she came outside her apartment building,she found Rohit waiting for her.Ananya waved at him and both smiled at each other.He came towards her and they had a hug.All her neighbours,used to admire the couple.On breaking the hug,Rohit said,"Looking ravishing as usual."Ananya smiled,"Tum bhi thik thak hi lag rahe ho."Rohit was highly obliged at her appreciation,"Ananya Rawat ne kaha ke main thik thak lag raha hu,iska matlab to main sach mein bohot hi achcha lag raha hu."Ananya followed him to his car. Rohit opened the car's front door for her and after she sat,he closed it.He,too,got into the driver's seat and they both moved towards their office.
As soon as they entered office,a light murmer developed.The ladies were looking at Rohit and passing very seducing comments.They were greeting him,"Hi Rohit!","Hi Handsome!","Hello Rohit!" etc.He just ignored those comments with his usual smile.Some girls were so crazy about him that they always try to find out different means of crashing with him.A girl was drinking water.When she saw Rohit,she moved towards him very casually and smartly put her leg in his way.Rohit did not notice it and as a result,with Ananya's surprise and other girl's bad luck,Rohit was on the top of the girl lying on the ground.The girl was playing with Rohit's tie and very seductively asked,"Hi Rohit!Kahi tumhe chot to nehi lagi?"Rohit got up quickly and gave her a hand.He asked very genuinely,"Are you alright?"The girl got up and they both cleaned their dress.She moved her finger on his face,"Haaye mujhe giraake aur phir puchte ho ke mujhe lagi to nehi?You naughty boy.Chot deke phir marham lagaane ka ye andaaz mujhe pasand aaya."Rohit smiled and passed her smartly.Ananya could not stop laughing on his embarrassment.His cheeks were turning red hot.He warned Ananya,"Ananya stop laughing at me!"Ananya anyhow controlled herself and said,"Hasu nehi to aur kya karu?God!Rohit,tum aisi larkio ko jhelte kaise ho?Mujhe to inhe dekh ke bari irritation hoti hai."Rohit asked,"Irritation ya jalan?"Ananya with an attitude replied,"Is duniya mein aisa koi aajtak paida nehi hua jo Ananya Rawat ko jealous feel karwa sake."Rohit smiled and with a very meaningful expression asked,"Really?"Ananya looked at him and understood his signal.She strengthen her jaws and turned her face to the other side,and very professionally said,"Meeting ke liye der ho rahi hai Rohit.Editor sahaab hamara intezaar kar rahe honge."Saying so she directly headed towards the editor's cabin.
They entered the editor's cabin.The editor Mr Ashish Avasthi was doing some paper work.He raised his head on the sound of opening the door.He greeted them,"Ah!My two most shining reporters!Mere newspaper ke aakho ke do noor,Miss Ananya Rawat and Mr Rohit Mafatlal.A very good morning to you both.Please have your sit."Both wished good morning and Ananya replied,"Sir aap na hamesha aisa hi karte hai."Rohit agreed.Avasthi said,"Arey tum dono to iske haqdaar ho.Tum dono ke vajah se hi to aaj hamare newspaper ka itna naam hai."They both sat on the chair and said,"Thank you Sir."Avasthi said,"Ok ab main asli mudde pe aata hu.Tum dono jaante ho ke mere chote bhai Suresh Avasthi ka ek news channel hai jo filhaal kuch mahino se ghaate pe chal rahi hai kyuki har khabar jo vo telecast karte hai vo already puraani ho chuki hoti hai jiske vajah se unke channel ki TRP din ba din kam hoti ja rahi hai."Ananya said,"To Sir ye to normal hai aur aisa competition to har jagah pe hota hai.Jo late hua samjho vo gaya."Rohit asked,"Par Sir ye sab aap hum kyu bataa rahe hai?Aap ne to yaha hume kisi important news ke baare mein discuss karne bulaya tha na?"Avasthi said,"Ha vo news aur ye baat jo abhi maine bataayi hai vo ek dusre se related hai."Ananya asked with curiosity,"Matlab?"Avasthi said,"Dekho Ananya abhi do din pehle mere ek khabri ne bataaya ke Mumbai mein ek bohot bare arms ki dealing hone waali hai aur is taskari mein bohot bare bare logo ka even politicians ka bhi haath hai.Matlab,in one word it's a big bang aur agar ye news hume mil jaaye to hum raato raat international market pe chaa jaayenge."Rohit asked,"Baapre ye to bohot bara jhol hai.Par iska aapke chote bhai ke news channel se kya rishta hai?"Avasthi turned towards Rohit,"Rishta ye hai my dear Rohit,Suresh ne ye special request ki hai ke tum saari video footage uske TV channel ko do taaki isse market mein uske channel ki position thori achchi ho."Ananya said,"Par Sir ye main kaise..."Avasthi replied,"Don't worry,Suresh ne iske liye tumhe pay karne ka bhi vaada kiya hai."Ananya nodded her head,"No sir baat vo nehi hai.Aapko pata hai na mera partner Ajay vo apni shaadi ke liye ghar gaya hai to main ye kaam akele..."Avasthi stopped her,"Oh no no Ananya tumhe ye kisne keh diya ke tum akeli ja rahi ho?Main ek bohot hi khaas aur internationally famous reporter ko tumhaare saath bhejunga.Iam sure you will be surprised,nehi surprise bohot chota shabd hai,shocked ho jaogi usey dekh ke."Avasthi got up from his seat and put his hands on his pocket,"Well he is coming from US.Aaj 2 saal baad vo wapas India aa rahe hai aur vo ye newspaper join karenge.Mujhe to sochte hue bhi thrill mehsoos ho raha hai."She asked,"Naam kya hai unka Sir?"Avasthi replied,"Unka naam hai...No jab vo aayenge to khud hi unse mil lena."Rohit disappointedly asked,"To Sir aapne mujhe kyu bulaaya?Mera yaha kya kaam hai?"Avasthi put his hands on Rohit's shoulder,"Tumhara kaam ye hai may boy ke agle hafte se India - Australia ke bich mein Border - Gavaskar trophy ka 5 one day matches ka series khela jaane waala hai aur usey cover karne tum agle hafte purey 20 dino ke liye Australia ja rahe ho."Rohit was very sad on hearing that because he has to stay apart from Ananya for 20 days.Avasthi understood this.He consoled Rohit,"Don't worry 20 din yuhi nikal jaayenge."Ananya,too,got up from her seat,"By the way Sir vo kab aa rahe hai?"Avasthi replied,"Kal dupeher tak pohoch jaayenge."Ananya and Rohit took his leave and left for their own job.Before leaving,Avasthi reminded Ananya not to disclose this matter as it is highly confidential.Both Ananya and Rohit went out for a lunch.Both were discussing about that famous reporter who was coming to accompany Ananya in her job.Rohit said,"Main to 20 dino ke liye bahaar ja raha hu pata nehi kaise rahunga tumhe dekhe bina."Ananya,with a smile replied,"Don't worry Rohit Sir ne kaha hai na 20 din palak jhapakte hi nikal jaayenge."Rohit made a fake angry face and said,"Jo naya partner aa raha hai na tum kahi uske saath meri germoujudgi mein dil na laga lena."Ananya mockingly said,"Kahi se jalne ki bu aa rahi hai."Rohit,very seriously held her hands and said,"Ha Ananya hoti hai jalan.Tumhaare liye."Ananya said,"Kahi agar dil lagaa liya toh?" Rohit said,"Aisa kabhi gande se gande mazaak mein bhi mat kehna Ananya.Main tumhaare kareeb kisi aur ko bardaasht nehi kar sakta.Mera seena jal jaata hai."Ananya said,"Ooo Possessive!"Rohit smiled and replied,"Chahe jo samajhlo.Ananya I love you very much.Bohot pyar karta hu tumse."Ananya removed her hand,"I know."They finished their lunch and left.
After the day's work,Rohit dropped Ananya home and before leaving,he kissed on her cheek and bid her good night.Ananya went to her apartment.After having a bath,she had her dinner and went to her bedroom.She again put the door key again on that particular drawyer.She again looked at the photograph and thought to herself,"Aaj achaanak itna ajeeb sa kyu feel ho raha hai?Dar bhi lag raha hai aur khushi ka bhi ehsaas ho raha hai."She took out the photo and laid down on her bed.She suddenly felt her heartbeat was so loud that she can hear it clearly.She put her hands on her chest and again looked at the photo and asked,"Tumse nafrat karti hu main.I hate you.Par phir bhi kyu aisa lag raha hai ke tum mere bohot kareeb ho?Bohot kareeb.Itne kareeb ke main tumhe yaha se mehsoos kar sakti hu.Tumhaare dhadkano ko saaf saaf sun sakti hu.Aakhir kyu lag raha hai mujhe aisa?"She again thought to herself,"Jabse us naye repoter ke baare mein suna hai tabse itni bechain kyu ho gayi hu main?Aakhir aisa kaun aa raha hai jisey dekh ke main chauk jaaungi aur jiska naam tak Sir ne nehi bataya?"Thinking about this continuously,she unknowingly fall asleep hugging the photo.
