Chapter 5:
As they go deeper in the jungle Khuraana finally stops...
Khu: Kabir..tumhe aur Ananyaji ko isse aage humaare saath aane ke liye main allow nahi karsakta...aap log please laut jaiyye...
A: inspector...vo meri bachchi hai sirf 3 saal ki hai...aur vo waha pata nahi kaisi hogi...main kahi nahi jaungi...main bhi andar chalungi...
Khu: dekhiye...
K: Khuraana tu ye keh bhi kaise sakta hai? Humaari beti hai vo...she meeds us...aur hum reporters hai...isse kai bhayanak jagaho mein akele sting operations kar chuke hai...
Khu: Kabir...yaar main samajhta hoon...par dekh tumdono saath chaloge toh hume tumdono ki security ka bhi khayal rakhna hoga...aise hum poori tarah Tumhaari beti ko dhundhne par focus nahi karsakte...please samajhne ki koshish karo...
Kabir nodded understanding...
K: Ananya...we have to go back...
He said holding her shoulders...
A: Kabir aap bhi...hum kaise...
K: main samajhta hoon...
Kabir ssid gently...cupping her face...
K: lekin humaari vajah se gumaari beti ko bachaane ke operation mein koi mushkil nahi aani chahiye...haina...Aaru jald se jald mile isliye tum itna bhi nahi karogi?
Ananya nodded tearfully...Kabir lead her back to the car with a heavy heart...
KKN:
It been hours since they had returned & there wasn't any news of Aaradhya...
Ananya & Kabir were broken...all they wanted was their baby at absolutely any cost...
Ananya numbly took the file from Khalid...the mother in her was going mad with various bad thoughts & possibilities...she didn't want anything but her child safe & back with her...
Kh: umm...are you ok darling? Kabir bhi bilkul aise hi lhoya khoya sa lag raha hai? Jaise uski dunia hi ujad gayi ho...
Khalid noticed her lost expression...
A: dunia toh ujad gayi hai...khair...y...yeah...I'm fine...
She gave a clear forceful smile...inspite of being broken from within...
Khalid handed her the pen as she proceeded to sign the document with trembling fingers...
Just then...
Aa: Mum..mumma!
A: Aarruuu!
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...
He felt like life was restored to him seeing Aaradhya...
K: Khuraana I don't know how to thank you...
Khu: yaar Kabir...meri duty thi ye...aur doston ke liye kuch bhi...
With that Kabir rushed to Ananya who was lavishing her child with kisses & hugs...
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...
Aaru simply wouldn't stop crying as she was too scared & trembling...
KaYa took turns to pamper their baby...
Kabir winced seeing Aaru like that & was filled with maddening rage...
Aaru was still crying loudly while in Ananya's arms while she was desperately comforting her...
Aa: mum..maa...vo..uncle..ne..mudhe..bohot jol..she..maala...aul bohot jyaada maala...
She was trembling with fear & sobbing...
K: shh baby...
Kabir took her in his arms...
K: un uncle ko saza milegi...meri princess ko itni chot pohchaane ke liye...
Kabir said kissing her softly...
Ananya took Aaru from Kabir & kissed her cheeks...
A: mera bachcha toh bohot brave hai...haina Aaru? Aur brave babies...?
Aa: nai lote...
Aaru replied admist her sobs...
Just as Ananya was busy with Aaru all of a sudden Aaru was snatched from her arms...
The minister whose men had kidnapped Aaru had come for an interview in Manav's bulletin saw Aaru & panicked...
A: Aaruuu!
She screamed struggling to take her child away from the horrid minister who was using Aaru as a medium to escape from the police...
But Ananya's desperate attempts lead her to falling to the ground due to the impact of the slap he'd given her...
S: oye minister ke bachche! Chod humaari Aaru ko! Nahi toh tujhe khudko pakadne layak nahi chodunga samjha!
Mal: Sunny shut up! Tum jaante bhi ho kisse baat kar rahe ho?
S: haan ma'am ek ghatoya insaan se...
Ro: jo ek bachchi ka sahaara lekar bhaag raha hai...
Aa: mum..mummaa! Mummaa! Mummaaa!
Aaru was crying out for Ananya...
Mi: aye! Tumlog chupchaap mujhe yaha se jaane do varna ye bachchi...
He tightened painfully on Aaradhya...
Aa: mumma...mumm..mummmaaa!
Aaru was wailing at the top of her voice wriggling in the man's grip...
Her heart-wrenching calls for her mother brought tears to the eyes of each & every staffer...
Aa: mumm...
Mi: aye chup!
A hard fist landed on Aaru's jaw making blood ooze out of her lips & mouth...
Ananya screamed & fought desperately...Aaru's cries stopped...Everyone looked on painfully...
Kh: oh my god!!!
Khalid exclaimed...
KL: dekho! Tum jaa sakte ho...Aaradhya ko chodh do & dare you touch her again...tumne use...itni choti bachchi ko punch kaise maar sakte ho tum! Tum jaanwar ho janwar!! Main tumhe chodunga nahi...
KL warned...
Mi: iss bachchi se mera koi matlab nahi mujhe jaane...
Just then a kick from behimd hit him so hard that he crumbled to floor groaning in pain...
Kabir managed to take Aaradhya in his arms before she was further hurt...
K: ab tere saath kya hoga ye sochkar bhi log kaap jaayenge...
Kabir was furious beyond limits & was shivering with rage...
But his face softened seeing Aaru...
He kissed & cuddled her desperately asking her to wake up...to talk to him but she didn't reply...her tiny eyes were closed & her little lips bleededher face was red & tear stained...
A: Aaruu!
Ananya screamed rushing to Kabir who was desperately trying to revive his child...
Both parents had tears in their eyes as their daughter...
K: Khuraana...iss janwar ko abhi yaha se lekar jaa carna tujhe saath mein mujhe bhi arrest karna padega...iski jaan lene le liye...
Kabir growled ferociously...
Ananya pulled up the minister by his collar...slapping him several times...hurling curses at him before the police finally dragged him away...
Kabir's cabin...
Ananya Kabir & Aaru were all slone now in Kabir's cabin...
They were trying to revive Aaradhya...
Ananya sprinkled water on her face gently while she lay in Kabir's lap...
K: Aaru...baby utho...mumma pspa hai na...aapko koi hurt nahi karega...promise...please?
Ananya was crying very badly...
K: Ananya please...shaant hojao...iswaqt Aaru zyaada important hai...
A: Kabir its all my mistake...maine kiya tha vo sting operation aur uski kimat meri bachchi chuka rahi hai...haalat dekhiye uski...kitna royi hogi vo...kitna torture kiya hai unn shaitaan ne meri baby ko...Aaru bachcha mumma is sorry...please uth jao na...
Ananya cried inconsolably...making Kabir sigh helplessly...
Aa: mum..mm..maa!
They heard a little voice & saw Aaru's eyes slowly open...
Aaru was still very frightened & was shivering & crying constantly crying out for mumma...
Ananya took her in her arms...
A: Aaru baby...ab smiley karo...aapko pata hai ye kon? Ye aapke papa hai...dekho!
Aaru stopped crying immediately & smiled brightly...giggling...
Aa: mele papa? Sachchi mumma?
She asked innocently...
Kabir who was in tears himself nodded desperately...
Aa: gol kitne...good...hai! Jab ...main aapshe filst time...mi...mili thi tab...m..m...maine unshe play kiya tha ki vo aapko...hi... hi mele...p...p papa banaaye...
She could barely speak due her injuries...
Kabir was mad with anger but smiled for his baby doll...
K: I love you baby...aur ab main humesha aapke aur aapki mumma ke saath rahunga...promise!
He said caressing her curls...
Just then...
( They hadn't heard this)
Mal: Kabir...tumhe live jaana hai...abhi...
They heard Malvika's call and saw her figure moving towards the PCR...
Kabir got up painfully his body desperately fighting for not leaving Aaru for even a second...but he no choice...
Kabir gently put her down on the sofa when he heard what he was dying to hear...
Aa: Papa! Mudhe... cholkal mat jao...
Aar pleaded tearfully...clutching onto his blazer...
Kabir literally stopped breathing...he went numb...
Aa: Papa?
Aaru's little palm patted his cheek...
Taking her tiny palm Kabir kissed it...
This time his heart won over his brain & he swooped down hugging Aaru close but carefully enough to not hurt her...for the first time Kabir Sharma had faced a dilemma between his personal & proffestional life & he had undoubtedly selected his personal life because Aaru meant more to him than any damn power or position in the world...
Tears of happiness trickled down his face...
Ananya too smiled...
Everyone was shocked out of their limits...
Aa: mumma...papa..lo...kyu lahe hai?
Aaru asked innocently as felt dampness on her neck...and felt Kabir shake slightly...
A: kabhi kabhi jab hum bohot happy hote hai tab khushi ke maare rote hai isiliye...
Ananya answered with tears of happiness...
Aa: aap...ab humesha ...m...mele paash hi ...lahoge na? Doage...toh... nahi na?
She asked tearfully...
A: haan nahi jaayenge lekin ab aap zyaada baatein mat karo...dard horaha hai na baat karte waqt...
Aaru nodded as a big fat tear rolled down her cheek which Kabir wiped away immediately...
Kabir kissed Aaru's forehead...
K: kabhi nahi...meri itni pyaari aur chotu baby ko chodkar kabhi kahi nahi jaunga...I promise!
Aa: pinky...plomish?
Kabir laughed slightly...
K: pinky promise mera baby!
He said interwining his pinky finger with her extra cute & tiny one...
Taking his baby in his arms he placed her in his lap...
K: achcha baby mujhe batao ki aapko khaane ke liye kya chahiye?
Aa: chocay waala...cake...
She said pouting innocently...
K: aaww...mera bhi favourite hai isiliye toh aap meri baby ho...mera chota bachcha! Lekin ye bachcha na bohot naughty hai!
He said nuzzling his nose with hers...but Aaru did not giggle...
Just then Khalid came in...
Kh: Kabir...tumhaare bulletin ka waqt hogaya hai...chalo...
Aaru shook her head desperately & began to cry again...
Aa: nai nai..pleash papa...mat...mudhe cholke mat dao na..pleash...mumma! Vo..vo...uncle...philshe..mudhe..nai..mumma! Papa!
She began to sob loudly...
Ananya & Kabir panicked...and began to pamper & fuss over their little baby girl...
Kabir winced at how her tiny trembling hand clutched his T-shirt in a vice like grip...
K: no baby! Main kahi nahi jaaunga aapko chodkar aur kisiko aapko haath bhi nahi lagaane dunga...
Ananya watched with a silent smile on her face as dhe watched Kabir pamper their daughter...kiss her repeatedly...whisper sweet nothings to her & wipe her tears...
In no time Aaradhya cuddled to her father's chest & the toredness of the day took its toll over & she fell asleep in Kabir's embrace...
So what if he wasn't a good husband but he had been a great son, brother & the greatest journalist & now the best father to her daughter too...
A: uh...Kabir...
She marveled at how gently & lovingly he behaved with her now...
A: Aaru aapke saath rehna chahti hai...so if u don't mind...aaj raat aap...humaare pass hi...you know...
Kabir gave a small nod & a smile to her...
At that time he was more than happy to not have to be separated from Aaru even if just for the night...
Scooping up his little baby girl in his arms Kabir began to walk towards the door of the cabin while Ananya followed...
K: chalo...hum pehle hospital chalenge...Aaru ko bohot chot aayi hai...
He said painfully...
With that they exited the cabin...
K: Khalid I hope tumne Manav se 9 baje ki news padne ke liye keh diya hai...thanks a lot...goodnight!
With that Kabir left KKN with Ananya & their little princess in his arms...
Kabir had a smirk on his face...
K: Trisha ki shaadi sheher se bahar ek resort mein hai jaha sab shaadi hone tak rukenge...saare functions bhi wahi honge...thanks a lot Trisha...tumhaari vajah se mujhe Ananya aur Aaru ke saath extra time milega...I'm so grateful to you...
Ananya ko ye ehsaas dilaane ka mouka milega ki mera uske liye pyaar sachcha hai...
I promise Ananya ki tum bhale Ananya Kashyap bankar jaaogi lekin vapas Ananya Kabir Sharma bankar hi aaogi!
He said with a determined look on his face...
