KaYa OS:Team KaYa

"Ananya..Ananya...Dammit ananya you can't have your way all the time.!! Dont you dare hang up on me..Dont you..." And the line went dead.

Mr. Editor in chief Sharma was furious. After his accident yesterday he had been ordered complete bed rest. His stupid reporter miss kashyap who was fortunately or unfortunately by now also his dutiful girl friend had strictly prohibited him from even thinking about breaking news or office for the next 1 week.

Kabir Sharma kicked, screamed and fussed but seeing how his two stingers , his informant and his friend anurag were all on ananyas side and refused to support him or help him in getting any news on who was behind the accident he had no other option but to do miss.kashyaps bidding for now.

It amazed kabir how quickly his little midget of a junior reporter had not only won him over but also everyone he loved as well. Tarini doted ananya and could always be seen gossiping with her about something or the other. Anurag had strictly ordered kabir that he was not allowed to come to meet him without ananya. While laxman and khurana treated her as their little sister always making sure she was safe when she went on her crazy hunches and beats which more often than not landed her in trouble.

-----

At exactly 9 p.m in the night there was a knock on mr.kabir sharma's door. He knew exactly who it was but let the door ring. Finally the maid got the door after finishing her work. She let ananya in while she discreetly went out expecting a huge quarrel and not wanting to be in the middle of it.

"Hello miss.kashyap so finally you grace us with your presence after hanging up on me. Are you here to tell me again how i should back off and lay low? Or about how manav gupta read my 9pm news yesterday which was more boring than a weather report while he himself is giving the breaking news about the panchayat election scandal" he mocked throwing deadly glares at her while he entered the living area from his bedroom.

She gave him a sugary sweet smile while shutting the front door making her way to the kitchen.

"No kabir sir" she stressed the sir as always trying to rile him up further. " I am here to make sure you don't starve yourself while behaving like a sulky child who didn't get his chocolate. Honestly KKN can do a week without THE kabir Sharma. And yes as i told you on the phone you are going to lay low and i am not doing any investigation on arjun ranawat. And that is FINAL"

"We'll see about that" He muttered. She pretended to ignore his last sentence and continued to remove the food she had bought into bowls.

As he sat on the couch cursing and criticizing manav while watching the 9pm news she set the plates on the table and served his favourite Chinese food onto the plates. She had to literally drag kabir from the sofa to the dining table to make him take his seat.

Ananya started eating while blabbering on about her day and filling kabir in about the latest gossip of the office. She hoped that hearing about KKN will atleast lighten up his mood but she got so carried away that she didn't even notice his expressions getting worse or the fact that he hadn't even touched his food.

"Enough." He shouted finally unable to take any more. "Ananya don't behave like nothing happened. That son of a **** tried to have me killed. He made that accident happen and we both know it. I am not going to spare arjun ranawat. He doesn't know who he messed with. I just raised mere suspicion that the building collapse might not have been natural but due to bad materials used by the builder. But now i am going to finish him"

Kabir pushed his chair back his chair in fury and stalked off to his bedroom.

Ananya walked into his room with his plate of food with a smile on her face.

"You can ruin whoever you want to once you are back. But for now please concentrate on getting better" ananya extended a spoon full of noodles towards kabir.

"Ananya why are you doing this? You always support me. Why are you holding me back? " he took the spoon from her and began to eat while she sat there silently.

"Because i'd rather have you lose one round against that loser ranawat instead of losing you altogether. I've lost my father already i cannot lose you as well kabir. What is to say that he wont try something like that again if you go after him?" She said as tears flowed from her eyes.

And there it was out in the open. The reason why he'd let her do whatever she wanted this time. He knew how scared she had gotten seeing him in the hospital and he wanted to make her feel secure. Putting aside the plate of food he engulfed her into his arms holding her tight trying to ease her pain and making it all alright.

1 week later.

"How could you this" she barged into kabirs room as always without knocking.

"What exactly did i do miss.kashyap" he asked with his devil may care attitude accompanied with his evil smirk.

She came to stand before his chair pointing a finger at him.

"You...you...aapne sabko kaam diya...beat par bheja while i have to sort the archives and update them. This is not fair.!!" She whined.

In a brisk move he was up from his chair and had her corned against the wall with both his hands on both sides leaving no way for her to escape.

"All fair in love and war" was his smug reply before walking out of the cabin.

------

It was 7 in the evening and kabir cleverly got ananya busy with the archives and left the office while she was busy updating the archives in the archives store room. She had no idea where he was and there was this nagging feeling inside her that something just wasn't right. She was about to call khurana to look for him when laxman called her with kabirs location.

"I am coming right away. Thank you so much laxman" frantic she hurried off to the location laxman. She spotted laxman at the parking area waiting for her.

"He's still running a high fever. The wounds from the accident are still fresh as well he was bleeding a little. He hasn't eaten since morning. And i can swear he almost fainted on me few moments back. He hasn't even taken his medicines. Yet he insists on going and getting the footage of the ranawat doing the dealings himself. Ananya he is in no shape and only you can convince him. Please don't let him take his health lightly" saying this laxman told her that he had taken down the security of the house. As well as where kabir was hiding and how to get to him.

------

Kabir was sitting on a bench hidden by a couple of bushes infront of the builders secret house about which he had gotten information that it was used for his illegal dealings. He was feeling week and light headed, somewhere in his body he knew his wounds had started bleeding, but the time for fussing over himself would come later. He couldn't rest until ranawat was behind bars. He had slogged since morning for this lead and he wasn't letting it go. If only his body would agree with him because no matter how much he tried to get up he just couldn't garner the strength for it.

Ananya jumped the wall of the house and slowly sneaked to the back yard. She went and sat beside kabir.

"What is it that you want to prove kabir? You aren't invincible.!"

"I should've known he'll call you. Laxman tumhara stinger zyada lagta hai aaj kal" he said with a pained smile. His wounds had started hurting now.

"Kabir why is this so important" she asked searching his eyes for the reason of his stubbornness.

He tried to walk away but she held his hand. Knowing he was out of strength and there was no way to escape her he cupped her face in both his hands and leaned his forehead onto hers.

"I cant let him win ananya. I just cant. If he gets away with this whats to say he wont try again tomorrow?" his voice broke down but he continued "Whats to say he wont hurt the ones i love to hurt me..whats to say he wont target you..." His voice was barely a whisper now.

Ananya moved her hands across his waist and held him to her letting him derive strength from her love. After a while kabir pulled away and straightened up.

"I am a reporter ananya. You cant take me away from my news. Its my strength its the only way i know how to handle things"

She nodded in silent agreement and took the videocam from him. It was 8 and the sound of cars could be heard. Arjun ranawat was here. It was game time.

-----

"Toh yeh hai humare desh ke sabse bade udyogpati ka ghinona sach. Arjun ranawat jo contractors se milkar building materials and money ka scam karte hai using cheaper materials instead of promised high quality ones. Inki illegal dealings footage and proof KKN logo tak apni zimmedari samajhkar lekar aaya hai taki koi bhi is insaan ke scam mei na phase. Inka aage kya karna hai ye hum authorities par chorte hai."

Kabir signed off with a huge smile as if he had climbed the everest. As soon as the camera went off he winked at ananya and she blushed with her lips forming a perfect o'. For all the maturity and intelligence kabir Sharma could be so naughty at times. But she didn't care his smile warmed her heart and made her happy from inside. As he made his way towards her she gave him a smile worthy of a warrior who'd victored in battle. He closed the distance between them and took her into his arms.

"We did it" he said smiling.

"Team KaYa does it again" she giggled holding onto him.

"Whatever would i do without Team KaYa" he laughed.

Only when richa and sunny collectively coughed and started singing romantic duets did they both realise they were still in the PCR. Quickly they parted while kabir walked away as if nothing happened. Ananya blushed furiously as her friends teased her mercilessly.

-----

"Dinner date. My treat" The text read as ananya was leaving the office. She smiled and was about to reply when she spotted kabir standing at the entrance with his car.

"I take that as a yes" he smiled.

"When have i been able to say no to you" ananya answered while she got into the car.

"Don't act so innocent miss.kashyap" he said in a husky voice "You very well know when and how to make me to your bidding"

"Someone has to" she said in a matter of fact manner.

"But you get desert only if we go get you checked up with the doctor and have your wounds re-dressed. Don't think i didn't notice the bleeding or the fever"

"You drive a very hard bargain miss.kashyap. But when have i ever been able to deny you what you wanted." He kissed her cheek and smiled as he drove to the hospital knowing it was pointless to argue with her on this topic.

Kabir Sharma the loner, the incomplete guy who was searching for something he couldn't find had finally found himself complete in his stupid reporter. He had found a place where he belonged in Team KaYa.
