Thank you so much for loving my latest story this much...

Thanks again to all my lovely readers!!!🤗
Chapter 4:
Kabir was checking some reports brought in by Sarita ( remember the girl in Episode 4 who was telling Kabir ki do chaar fin mein sabke naam yaad hojaayenge?)
But he was completely distracted...
What if Aaru was his baby? Her behaviour so far made it clear that she didn't...how would he tell her? How would she react? What would she call him? Papa?
S: uh...sir...
Sarita's voice broke his chain of thoughts...
K: yeh reports theek hai...aap jaakar ye Ronnie ko de dijiye...thank you...you may leave...
Kabir too got up to head for the editorial meeting...bot that he was really keen to attend it that day...
Conference Room:
Kabir was seated at the head of the table...
Ananya next to him & Khalid next to him on the other side followed by Malvika, Ronnie & others...
M: aaj jo most probably humaare agle defence minster banengi...aane waale chunaav mein unke saath special interview lined up...
K: ok...Ronnie tum vo subah waali footage edit kar chuke ho?
Ro: ji sir...
Kh: guess what guys! Ananya ne ek kamaal ka sting operation kiya hai...Manav usi politician par jiski tum baat kar rahe ho...Kabir's gonna rock it! Sach ye dono ek saath ek phenomenal pair hai!
Just then Ananya got a call...
A: excuse me...investor hai...
She said taking the call & exiting the conference room...
All of a sudden Kabir recived a message...
He didn't care that he was in the middle of the editorial meeting when his phone beeped with a message...
Lakshman had done the job! He had forwarded him the details...
K: ( in his mind) Name of the child: Aaradhya Kabir Sharma
Born to: Ananya Sharma & Kabir Sharma...
He read the details on Aaru's birth certificate copy...
His hands trembled as he went through the other documents...
Never till that moment in his life had he felt so vulnerable yet so happy...
He was always a man of control & knew how to hide his feelings but today it just didn't work...all the walls he'd built around him crumbled down together...leaving behind an emotional mess of man called Kabir Sharma...
That little angel whom he had come to love more than anything in world...for whom he longed day & night from the time he met her...
The little baby with his molten chocolate brown eyes, soft pink lips, fair skin...cutest curls and chubby cheeks was his!
Aaru was his own daughter!
Kh: Kabir?
Khalid noticed the drastic expression changes on his Editor-in-chief's face...
Mal: Kabir are you ok?
K: huh?
Kabir came out his reverie...
Khalid was baffled to see tears in the eyes of his emotionless EIC...while his lips were stretched into the brightest smile Khalid had ever seen...
Kh: Kabir what's wrong...? Haan?...tum...
K: Khalid...
Kabir choked on his words...
K: you know...the sweetest little thing in the world...cutest..most adorable...darling...just priceless...is mine...vo..vo..meri hai...meri apni...you know vo itni choti hai...itni pyaari hai ki usko dekhkar mujhe apna koi dard yaad hi nahi rehta...she's mine Khalid...she's mine...vo mera apna ansh hai..
He embraced a bewildered Khalid tightly while the entire conference room looked on stunned...
With Kabir left the conference room...
Mal: ise kya hua?
Malvika asked completely confused...
Manav smirked...
M: nayi girlfriend milgayi hogi! Itna khush hogaye the!
Kh: oh shut up Manav! It must be serious...Kabir ko kabhi aise nahi dekha pehle...
Meanwhile a furious Kabir was marching towards Ananya's cabin...
How dare she keep their daughter away from him for 3 long years???
He spotted her cutting the call standing the empty corridor...
Grabbing a stunned Ananya's upper arm he began to drag her to her cabin on the same floor...
A: yeh kya badtameezi hai Kabir chodiye mujhe! I swear main chillaungi!
K: Shut up!
Kabir growled angrily at her making her scared for a moment...he had never been this angry at her...
Literally pushing her inside her cabin he locked the door...
K: chillao! Ab chillao!
He challenged her...
A: What the hell! How dare you touch me?
Ananya shouted back...
K: How dare I? How dare you?
Ananya was harshly pinned against the wall now & was breathing deeply...
K: tumhe kisne hak diya mujhe meri bachchi se door rakhne ka? Kisne diya?
Kabir shouted at her...
The next moment he was pushed away & rewarded with a stinging slap on his cheek...
Kabir couldn't believe it...his meek & timid wife who poor thing would start shivering even when he was angry at her slapped him today!
A: agar mujhe dobaara haath lagay na Mr Kabir Sharma...then watch it...aapki vo haalat karungi jo aap soch bhi nahi sakenge!
And wow!!!
Ananya began clapping her hands sarcastically...making Kabir glare at her...
A: maine door rakha aapse aapki bachchi ko? Haan? Kuch toh sharm kijiye! Har cheez mein manipulation...Meri delivery ke baad jaise hi main travel karne ke liye fit thi...main India aayi...aapke puraane office Delhi Kranti pohchi...Aaru ko lekar...aapko apni bachchi se milvaane...
Main khud ek beti hoon toh kisi aur beti ko uske pita se alag kaise kar sakti hoon?
But you know what...waha par mujhse kaha gaya ki Kabir Sharma aage badh gaye hai...vo meri shakl tak dekhna nahi chahte...kisi bhi haalat mein...mujhe zaleel kiya gaya...aur aap kehte hai ki maine aapko Aaru se door rakha?
K: What nonsense! Maine aisa kaha tha ki main kisi se milna nahi chahta kyunki meri meeting thi..par tumhaara naam nahi liya main...I wasn't expecting you Ananya...
Ananya wiped her tears painfully...
A: main aaj aapko sab bataaungi...phir bhi agar aapko lagta hai main galat hoon toh galat hi sahi...
Aapko chodne ke baad...main...
K: tum...?
A: main...jeena nahi chahti thi...isiliye...maine neend ki goliyaan khaali...kyunki main aapke bina jee nahi paati..main marna chahti thi...par aine waqt par KL ne meri jaan bachaayi...
Hospital doctors ne bataaya ki main maa banne waali hoon...aur bhagwaan ka chamatkaar tha jo mera baby safe tha...
Mujhe jeena pada...uss nanhi jaan ke liye...jiska iss sab mein koi dosh nahi tha...
KL ne mujhe support karne ki baat ki lekin maine unse support nahi naukri maangi...
KKN join kiya maine aur humesha ke liye unke saath Singapore chali gayi...waha maine apni Aaru ko janm diya...
She smiled at the memory of her daughter...
Vo meri jeene ki wajah bani...jaante hai kyu? Kyunki vo aapka bhi ansh hai...vo..vo..mujhe ehsaas dilaati hai...j..jaise...aap...aap..mere saath hi hai...
Kabir was completely shocked...
He was so important to Ananya that she tried to kill herself not being able to live without him? But never...never...he had to admit had she forced him to accept her love...she had always genuinely tried to win his heart...secure a tiny spot for herself in his heart...
And what had he done? Mercilessly hurt & tortured this angel...
Ananya had always loved him selflessly...
He had hurled countless hurtful words at her just to make her leave him & became he thought that she had destroyed his life...
At that moment realisation dawned upon him...
Did he hate Ananya? If yes what kind of a hate was this wherin he cared for the person he hated? What kind of a hate was this when he thought about the person he hated the most esch & every second of his life?
He couldn't bear to see her crying like she was right then...
Today Kabir Sharma put aside his male ego & accepted that he was in love with Ananya which is why he couldn't think of anything else but her...he couldn't get her off his mind...
Tears left his eyes as he felt the pain that he had given Ananya...
He glanced at Ananya who was trying hard to control her sobs but unable to stop herself from sobbing painfully remembering all the pain she had faced...
She was suddenly envoloped in a pair of warm arms...
Kabir held her tight to himself...
Cupping her tear stained face he caressed it...wiping away her tears with a remorseful look...
K: Ananya I know...I...don't deserve to be forgiven...lekin...tum..mujhe ek...sirf ek mouka dogi...main sachmein tumse bohot pyaar karta hoon...aur jo kuch bhi maine tumhaare saath kiya hai uske liye main apne aap ko kabhi naaf nahi kar paunga...
Please...Please Ananya...mujhe ek mouka do apni galati sudhaarne ka...please...
I love you both...I need both of you in my life...bohot akela pad gayahoon main Ananya...please...
Ananya pushed him away lightly...
A: nahi Kabir...I know aap ye isiliye kehrahe hai kyunki aap apni beti ke saath rehna chahte hai...humaare rishte ka koi matlab nahi hai...aur aapko toh lagta hai na ki Aaru humaare beech hui uss galat ka sym...
Kabir placed his palm on her lips...
K: bilkul nahi...agar vo galati hai toh sabse best galati hai...haan ye sach hai ki main uske saath rehna chahta hoon...par main tumhasra bhi saath chahta hoon Ananya...mujhe yeh ehsaas hogaya hai ki jise main abtak nafrat samajh raha tha vo pyaar hai...tumhaare liye mera pyaar...
I love you with all my heart & soul...itne saal tumhaare rote chehra aur aasuo ne din raat haunt kiya hai mujhe...par vo ab jaakar samajh aaya ki aisa hua kyunki main tumhaare aasoon bardasht nahi karsakta...
It is killing me Ananya to know that you...tum...ne..meri vajah se..sui..cide...
He scrunched his eyes at the mere thought...
Cupping her face he planted a kiss on her forehead as gently & lovingly he could...
Ananya's whole body jolted at the touch of his lips on her skin...she felt herself become helpless in her husband's arms...
A part of her was mad with happiness knowing that Kabir...her husband loved her but another part was scared...scared to accept his love...not knowing if she could survive if he broke her heart again...
Taking her in a bear hug he kissed her hair...caressing it...
K: I'm so sorry...so sorry...I love you...I love you Ananya...
He chanted again & again...desperately wanting to take away all the pain that he had given her...
With a firm determination she pushed him away while he looked at her painfully...
K: Ananya...
A: SHUT THE HELL UP!
She shouted at him...
A: Samajhte kya hai aap apne aap ko? Haan? The invincible Kabir Sharma...Editor-in-cheif, KKN...jinke ishaaro par dunia chalti hai!
Pehle uthaakar phek diya aur ab akele bore horahe hai toh vapas utha liya...kyu karu aap par vishwaas? Taaki aap phirse mujhe tod dein...mere pyaar ka mazaak udaaye...
Main toh opportunist hoon na...desperate buwi...jisne aapko paane ke liye...chii!
Kabir was shaking his head vigorously all the time in a desperate no...
A: You know what...bohot koshish ki...bohot koshish ki aapse nafrat karne ki...lekin..nahi hota...I love you very much...aaj bhi aapse bohot pyaar karti hoon...
Par aap ek baat samajh lijiye that you are nothing to me...pati toh door ki baat hai...aap sirf mere colleague or meri beti ke pita hai that's it!
She said pointing a finger at him...
K: tumhe maarna hai maaro, gussa karo, thappd maaro...daanto...chillao...gaaliyaan do lekin please don't say that I don't love u...please...
He pleaded her with his heart...
But Ananya wasn't the one to give in easily...
A: mujhe aapki shakl se bhi nafrat hai samjhe! Aapko koi hak nahi tha mujhe saza dene ka aur phir itna ganda ilzaam lagaane ka...aur usse mann nahi bhaara toh mujhe aur apni beti ko marne ke liye chod diya...aur ab ye jata rahe hai ki aap toh humse pyaar karte hai aur kuch jaante hi nahi...kya kaha tha aapne aap meri ahakl tak nahi dekhna chahte..
Aaj main kehti hoon mujhe aapki shakl bhi nahi dekhni...
Kabir forced himself to give a sad smile...
K: its ok...I will not force you to accept me...lekin...mujhe apni beti se milva do...jabse uske hone ka pata chala hai...main tadap raha hoon yse dekhne ke liye...trust me Ananya main nahi jaanta tha ki tum...humaari...bachchi...
A: yeah sure...
Ananya said monotonously ignoring the others things he said...
Just then Ananya got a call...
A: excuse me...
Ananya herself left the cabin saying so...
Kabir wiped a few tears of pain before leaving the cabin...
Kabir's cabin:
Kabir stared sadly at the floor...
It was now that he realised how it felt when your love rejects you...rebukes you & hates you...
It pained a lot...he admitted...
K: main yahi deserve karta hoon...kya kuch nahi saha Ananya ne meri vajah se...
He thought to himself...
Just then Rahul came there...
Ra: Kabir sir...aapko Khalid sir bula rahe hai...
K: thank you...usse kaho main do minute mein aata hoon...
Khalid's cabin...
Kh: hey guys look who's here...
Khalid pointed to KL..
Malvika was busy buttering her father while Manav was busy buttering the two...
Ananya bent down to take his blessings after all he had saved her life...but he held her midway...
KL: like I say betiyaan paav nahi chooti...
He said taking her in a fatherly embrace...
M: baby...ab tumhaara owner ki beti ka patta bhi gaya samjho...
He told a fuming Malvika...
Kh: tum mahaan ho KL kaha se laaye ho Ananya ko? She is just terrific! Abhi abhi aayi hai lekin ek aisa sting operation isne akele kiya hai jaisa aajtak KKN mein koi nahi karpaaya..aur buisness ka toh poocho hi mat...har koi itna impress horaha hai iske kaam karne ke tareeke se ki vo sab KKN ke bulletins sponsor karna chahte hai...invest karna chahte hai...
KL smiled...
KL: jab pehli baar mila tha tab hi samajh gaya tha ki Ananya kitni talented hai...
Ananya gave a smile...
Kh: vaise maine aur KL ne kuch socha hai...
Mal: kis baarein mein papa?
KL: Ananya ko stakeholder banaane ke baarein mein...
Ananya choked on her coffee...
Mal: kyaa?
Malvika was shocked...she herself wasn't a stakeholder as yet because her father thought that she wasn't responsible enough yet...
Manav smirked...
M: ab toh Ananya ko patana hi padega beta Manav! Ananya teri toh KKN tera aur Editor-in-chief ki kursi bhi...
A: nahi...sir..main..kaise..I..mean...
KL: you deserve it completely beta...tumne KKN ko kaha se kaha pohchaaya hai...jise ye karna chahiyr chahiye tha vo toh kisi aur cheez mein busy hai...
He gave a stern look to Malvika who's relationship with Manav he absolutely dispiced...
Ananya gratefully signed the contract that made her a stakeholder too along with Kabir, Khalid & KL...
A: vaise sir...aapki princess ne kuch bheja hai aapke liye...
She whispered...secretly handing him a chocolate...
KL: thank you bolna ise aur meri taraf se thoda extra pyaar karna...I hope kisi ne dekha nahi...varna...
He whispered back...
A: don't worry your secret is safe with me!
She winked saying in the same tone...
A: hello..
Ananya was smiling as she recieved the call but just as soon as she heard what the caller said the colour drained off her face...
The phone fell off her hands making everyone look there...
Kh: Ananya?
KL: Ananya...beta kya hua?
Ananya's lips quivered & tears ran down her cheeks endlessly...
Somehow stumbling she made it to the door...only to crash into Kabir...
K: Ananya? Tum theek toh ho kya hua?
He cupped her face...
Ananya broke down...hugging him tightly...sobbing into his chest...
K: Ananya?
Kabir caressed her hair lovingly...but he was beginning to get worried...
K: batao kya hua?
He caressed her cheek gently...
A: K..Kabir...meri Aaru...
K: kya hua Aaru ko? Vo theek haina? Batao? Kuch bolo...
Kabir grew more desperate each second...
A: vo..uss...politician ne...usne..meri bachchi ko...kidnap...
She trailed off unable to control her sobs...
She wouldn't be able to live if something happened to Aaru...neither would Kabir...
K: kya???
Kabir cried in shock & disbelief...he got hell worried for his little daughter but he had no time to waste...they needed to act quick...
K: chalo...
He pulled her by her wrist gently...leading her to his car in which they drove off to the police station...
*****
Police station:
Kabir & Ananya literally ran to Khuraana...
Khu: arrey Kabir aao na! Koi kaam tha?
K: Khuraana meri beti kidnap hogayu hogayi hai...
Khu: kya? Tumhaari beti?
He was rather shocked...he didn't even know Kabirwas married to Ananya...
K: lambi kahani hai...baadmein sunaaunga...par abhi Aaradhya ko dhoondh na bohot zaroori hai...pata nahi kaha hogi vo...aur vo janwar uske saath kaisa bartaav kar raha hoga...
A: Inspector please...meri bachchi bohot choti hai...pichle mahine hi 3 saal ki hui hai...please...
Ananya was crying really badly...
Aaru was her life & she would die without her...
K: Ananya please shaant hojao...kuch nahi hoga Aaru ko...
Kabir reassured her but he himself needed the same...
He couldn't afford to loose his only child who had become his life in the last few days even before he got her...
Khu: ok..koi call aaya tha? Ransom vagera?
A: haan...jis minister ke khilaaf mere pass saboot hai usne agvaah kiya hai meri bachchi ko...chodungi nahi main use!
Khu: ok...hum call location trace karwaate hai...tum tabtak gaadi nikaalo...
He told on of the constables...
Kabir & Ananya along with Khuraana & his team reached the forest...
Kabir was reassuring Ananya all the while...
They continued walking further & further...mtrying to find the kidnapper's hideout...
C : sir...
One of the constables called out to inspector Khuraana...
C: sir yaha ki mitti taazi hai..jaise kisi ne abhi yaha gaddha khoda ho aur bhar diya ho...
Khu: dhyaan se dekho vaha par...
Kabir gave a squeeze to Ananya's hand asking her not to worry...he would find their daughter at any cost...
He himself was feeling broken & extremely worried for his little daughter...but he had to be strong for Ananya...
Ananya bent down picking up a tiny squealy pink shoe...hesides it was a baby pink bow attached to a clip & doll lying the mud...
Ananya began to cry inconsolably & uncontrollably holding the things to her heart...they belonged to Aaru...
Khu: Ananyaji aap please...sambhaliye apne aap ko...aur bataiyye kya ye cheeze aaki beti ki hai?
Kabir held onto a furiouy sobbing Ananya as she nodded...
A: h..haan...yeh..sab...meri...
She couldn't speak further due to her sobs...
Kabir tried to hug her but she pushed him away...
A: don't touch me! Main sambhaal sakti hoon apne aapko! Samjhe aap?
Kabir nodded not wanting to tense her further...
Khu: Kabir...hume jungle ke aur andar jaana hoga...par it can be very risky kyunki andhera hone waala hai...
A: What the hell do you mean by risky? Inspector meri 3 saal ki bachchi uss rakshas ki kaid mein hai..magar usne use kuch bhi kiya toh main kisiko nahi chodungi! SAMJHE AAP?
Ananya shouted while Kabir struggled to control her...
K: Khuraana mujhe koi parvaah nahi hai ki risk hai ya nahi...I need my daughter safe that's it...use kuch bhi hua toh main jaan le lunga uss aadmi ki!
Kabir growled..
Khu: kuch nahi hoga use...hum use jald shoondh lenge...
K: Ananya...trust me for once...kuch nahi hone dunga main Aaru ko... main humaari bachchi sahi salaamat lekar aaunga...ye mera waada hai tumse...
He promised...cupping her reddened face...
For once Ananya forgat everything & hugged him tight...
Kabir closed his eyes at the feeling but right then his priority was to find Aaru...
Placing a kiss on top of her head he broke the hug...
K: chalo...
He held her hand & they followed the rescue team into the dense jungle...
TBC😳
Precap:
Aa: Mum..mumma!
The pen dropped off Ananya's hand hearing this & she ran like a mad towards Khuraana & his team who had her Aaru with them...leaving behind a stunned Khalid who needed her to sign something...
As she reached the reception area where they were waiting she didn't waste a single second taking Aaradhya from the lady constable Ananya showered her with kisses all over...fussing over her...
A: Aaru mera bachcha...aap...aap theek hona? Aur..aur...ye..ye?
She could see wounds all over...her daughter was bruised & battered & bleeding all over...
Khu: ye apni maa ke liye bohot ro rahi thi isiliye hum ise yaha le aaye...isliye hospital jaane se pehle ise aapke paass le aaye...
Aaradhya was crying at the top of her voice...poor thing was extremely scared due to what happened with her...
A: shhh...Aaru..baby dekho..mumma hai na? Aapko koi hurt nahi karega? Ok? Ab bas aap meri good girl ho na? Ro mat baby mumma sad hojaati hai! Please?
Aaru took the inconsolable Aaru inside & the whole office looked up at the wailing infant...
Mal: kon hai ye bachchi? She's so annoying! God! Kyu ro rahi hai itna?
Malvika asked irritatedly...
Kabir had rushed out of cabin hearing these cries...
Rushing to Ananya he asked...
K: may I?
Ananya nodded handing Aaru to Kabir...
Aaru flinched initially feeling Kabir's hands but seeing it was him she huddled close to him...
K: aaww baby...it's ok...yaha par koi nahi hai...ok? Bas aap ab mat ro...aapko pata hai na main bohot sad hojaata hoon jab aap roti ho..
He said rocking her in his arms...kissing her...trying to calm her down while others looked on stumped...
M: ye bachchi kon hai? Aur Kabir sahab aise gale kyu laga rahe hai?...aur ye teeno ro kyu rahe hai? Ye chakkar kya hai...pata toh lagaana padega beta Manav...
He gave an evil smirk...
