PART 16
when pratigya woke up she noticed that she was covered by a blanket and beneath her head there was a pillow ...krishna was sitting opposite to pratigya in one corner of the sear , closing his eyes and leaning on the side window...he does not look like sleeping. pratigya looked at her wrist watch.it was time to reach delhi.she got up and sat on the seat.
pratigya :'krishna utto...we are reaching delhi...'krishna opened his eyes.pratigya looked at krishna ...deep in to his eyes...she was trying to read out his mind through his eyes about his sudden reaction but failed.but she could see his eyes are slightly red and swollen.'did he cry...😕?'she suspected in her mind.krishna lowered his gaze.
krishna and pratigya quickly fresh up themselves.as soon as they reached delhi they got down.pratigya 's driver came to the station to receive them.soon they reached saxena house.till then krishna did not talk much with pratigya except few formal words with uncomfortable smile.saxena and dadima gave a warm welcome to them.saxena gave a usual hug to krishna
dadima:'aray thum tho chaar dhinme ithni moti hogaye ho...😃"said with surprise.
pratigya :'dadima..thumbhi na...😳"
dadima: 'mai mazaak nahi kar rahi hun...daykho kithna badal gaye ho..haatho mai mehandi....lal lal chudiyaan...bilkul dulhan lagrahi ho..yeh tho krishna ka hi kamaal ho ga" she complimented krishna.
pratigya:😊...she acknowledge her with a sly smile
krishna did not concentrate on their talk.he was having some formal talk with saxena....then exchange a warm smile with pratigya and left .
pratigya felt as if saxena house became empty soon after he left.
krishna went to his apartment.he could not do any think...he went and fall on his bed and burst out with tears.his whole mind was echoing with pratigya .he can't control him self...every were pratigya ...pratigya...pratigya...he was tensed and depressed.the train scene frequently flashed in his mind...he sobbed
'omg😲...how come i confess my love to pratigya ...i can't believe my self...' it just happened .he himself doesn't expected...it is not at a preplanned...it just boomed out of his heart when his mind was numb...but he was sure that his love was not a sudden one..his love for pratigya started blooming...unknowingly and unwillingly the day he hooked in to pratigya 's eyes in the canteen.it gradually developed with in him.when saxena proposed her it was a pleasant surprise and a treat for him...
but what about pratigya ...? array of questions raised in his mind.did pratigya love him...? no way..why should she..?such a beautiful ,talented good human she is....boys may make a queue to have a glimpse of her.she is forced to be with him cuz of saxena.she forced to come to ooty only cuz of saxena.omg😲...kaisa hai yeh bandhan??? it is unusual and one side bandhan...looks very weak and flimsy,no hope or scope for it...at any time it can break..'krishna was very much worried and tensed.'oh...i can't loose pratigya ...i can't live with out her.it is miserable...it will be better i die.'he cried till his eyes became dry, cried until there were no tears to come out.
he was scared that he may loose pratigya .he can't with stand that pain..he suffered from anguish.whenever he see pratigya he is going to die with the feeling that he may loose her...to avoid that painful feeling he decided to keep himself away from pratigya .
next day krishna and pratigya were working in their cabin.
pratigya :'adarsh...' she called her attender.
adarsh: 'ji ma'am...😊'he came inside.
pratigya :'krishna sir ko new design approval ka file laane ko kaho...' adarsh brought the file and gave it to pratigya .
pratigya :'thum kyun...?😕'
adarsh:'wo.. krishna sir doosre important file mai busy hai..'pratigya did not mind it.
next day.
pratigya : 'krishna sir ko bulao...'said to adarsh.after few minutes adarsh came and said 'sir unit visit kay leyeh chalegayeh..'
pratigya :'unit visit...?😲😕'she raised her eyebrow in surprised.
pratigya :'unit visit kyun..?😕...unit visit tho subha mai kar thay hai naa..?ab tho shaam kay theen ho rahai hai...' adarsh could not answer.she realised he is trying to avoid her.
after that from small small incidence she found out that he is not the krishna one whom she saw in ooty along with his family...the happy, excited ,cool , charming and naughty krishna .he is the one whom she met initially.the reserved,feeling less, stone faced krishna ...with pain carrying in his eyes....looks as if some thing is bothering him always.after the ooty trip he went in to the shell as a snail.who knows ? he may not come out at all....'i am not going to leave him like that 'pratigya decided.i have to find out what is bothering him.she tried all ways and means to go close to him.with the same force krishna tried to pull back himself from her.
next day:
pratigya took the new design approval file and went in to krishna 's cabin.krishna was busy with his lap top.he stopped working and looked at her.
krishna :'thum kyun aaye ho...you should have called me...'
pratigya : 'for the past three days i was calling you , but you did not turned up...'
krishna : 'you go to your office...i will come.'pratigya was hesitant to go.
krishna : 'i told you i will come to you...plz go now.' he said again with patient.
pratigya 'office:
krishna was sitting beside pratigya and discussing about the new designs.pratigya was looking at him with a cute smile which disturbed his concentration and interrupted his discussion constantly.soon after the discussion was over he got up in a hurry to leave.pratigya stretched her hand and hold his wrist.krishna looked at her.
pratigya:'dadima nay thumare leyeh lunch bhayja hai...😊'the warmth of her hand made krishna chill..for a second he stood still.
pratigya :'haath chodo..koye aajayehga...'he tried to escape from her hold.
pratigya : ' red light is on out side of my cabin.don't worry...😊'
pratigya :'dadima has send lunch for you..'she said again.
krishna : 'nahi pratigya aaj nahi...'he set freed his hand from her's and rushed out.
in canteen:
krishna was eating his food with a spoon.suddenly he felt there was a disturbance in the canteen.he raised his head ...
pratigya was standing in front of him with a pink shifaan saree flowing on her.she told the worker sitting beside krishna to get up with action.she went and slide beside him...and told the worker..'muchay kichidi lao...'the worker ran to bring it.
krishna :😲...he was speechless.
krishna :'thumara dheemaag gharaab hogayahai pratigya ...😡"he whispered with anger.
krishna : 'jao yahaan se...😡'
pratigya :'thumne mere saath cabine mai ghane kay leyeh manaa karthi..'
krishna : tho...?
pratigya : 'mai aagaye canteen....thumaare saath ghane kay leyeh...😉'she winked without others notice,only to him. by that time the worker brought the kichidi for her..she started eating coolly.
krishna :'thamaasha math banao..jao yehanse...😡'he told in a very very low and angry tone.she did not care.by that time other workers started looking at them.krishna threw the spoon ,pushed back his seat ,got up angrily walked out of the canteen.pratigya foll0wed him with a smile.
pratigya 's cabin:
krishna was sitting beside pratigya on a two seater .pratigya smiled at him thinking in her mind that 'yes i did it...😊' .
pratigya opened the hot pack and served the food in a plate.
pratigya:'lo....😊'she gave the food plate to krishna but he did not take.looked at her and the food plate hesitantly.pratigya took a piece of chapati along with her favourite dal makhani.
pratigya:'khao...'she showed it near his mouth.
krishna:'nahi thum...'he refused.
pratigya:'kha lo...' she neglected his refusal and showed the chapati piece more close to his mouth almost touching his lips. he know that she is not going to leave him without feeding. he half opened his mouth and eat the chapati from her hand. his feelings for her ran deeper than he thought.tears welled up in his eyes.she gazed in to his stormy eyes and noticed the glittering tears .
pratigya:' wofo...yeh nandu kaka bhi na...always he maks the dal spicy...' she opened the bisleri mineral water bottle and gave it to him. he took the bottle and kept it back on the tea table.
krishna :' issa kyun karahi ho...?😭'his voice was broken. he swallowed all his emotions while asking.
pratigya :' wahi tho mai thumai pooch rahi hun...?😕'
her question triggered a typhoon of anguish inside krishna which he couldn't stop regardless of how desperately he wanted to.
krishna:' try to understand me...😔'
pratigya:' that is what i am trying...😊'
