Chapter 2:
Next day:
KKN:
Conference Room:
Everyone stood up to greet Kabir as he stepped in...looking charming as ever...
K: good morning guys..
Came his even charming voice...
T: haayyee! Richa dulha exchange nahi karsakte kya sagaai ke baad??
Trisha whined & Richa chuckled...
Ri: chupkar...you are just shameless!
T: kya karu yaarr! Din b din he's getting hotterrr!!!
She squealed...
K: let's begin for today...so what news do we have today?
Kabir spoke in his stern Editor-in-chief voice...
He noticed suddenly that the chair besides Ronnie was empty...
K: are we short of someone here?
He asked...
Ri: haan sir...Ananya..
Richa said worriedly...Ananya would be in for it on her first day itself!
Mal: wooww! Khalid this is your star reporter right?? Kal raat do chaar kaam kya karliye madaam extra beauty sleep lene lagi hongi...huh!!! pehle din se hi aise tevar!!!!
A: Aisi cheezon ke liye waqt nahi hai mere paas Malvika...MA'AM!
Everyone turned around hearing the firm yet sweet voice...
Mal: ohhh! Welcome Ananya! Sorry we forgot the bouquet for your welcome!
She said sarcastically...
K: well Ms Kashyap...pehle hi din late aane ki vajah jaan sakta hoon?
Ananya smirked...
A: Time is too precious to be wasted sir...
She answered...placing a chip on the table before him...
A: ye uss chaturvedi ( mantriji) ke khilaaf kuch aur saboot hai...yahi lene gayi thi...
She said before turning to leave...
A: & Yes if you've researched about me before offering me this job toh aapko pata hoga ki Ananya Kashyap ke liye justification uski awaaz nahi uska kaam deta hai...
She said with a victorious smile & walked out...leaving the others dumbfounded...
Roh: waaahh!
They all looked at Rohan while recovering from Ananya's spicy talk...
Roh: Ananya ji sach mein Ananya ( not pronnounced as Ananyaa) hai...she's true to what her name means...unique & precious...jinki tarah aur koi nahi hai...bohot kuch sikhna hai hume unse!
Mal: godd! She's full of attitude!
Malvika scoffed...
K: attitude nahi Malvika...confidence...but I like it...
Kabir said with a smirk...
K: its going to really interesting working with u Ms Kashyap..
Kabir said to himself...
Mal: what confidence? Badtameez aur besharm ladki hai ye..
Malvika spat..
S: kyaa baat kar rahi ho ma'am! Ananya aisa karne ke pehle khud mar jaayegi aur hume maar degi agar humne sir se badtameezi ki toh...sir uska bas chale toh vo aapki photo mandir mein rakhkar poora din pooja karegi!
Sunny exclaimed...
Malvika rolled her eyes...ehile Kabir looked intrigued...
Ananya meanwhile walked to her new cubicle...settling herself in properly when she heard sliding doors open & to her utter disgust there stood the minister Chaturvedi grinning wickedly...
Ananya looked on furiously as Rohan ushered him in...
A: Tu ruk chaturvedi ke bachche...tujhe toh main batati hoon!
She muttered...
Meanwhile in the dressing room:
Malvika strode seductively upto Kabir as he did his tie...looking into the mirror...
Mal: all set?
She asked trailing her hands over his broad shoulders...
K: of course...
Kabir answered with a smirk as he walked off leaving behind a slightly miffed Malvika who followed him like a puppy...
K: Kabir Sharma...
Kabir shook hands with the minister seated in the green room lounge...
C: ohh! Kabir sahab! Kaise hai aap?
K: bilkul jaisa dikh raha hoon...perfect...
Kabir answered curtly...
The minister Chaturvedi gave a fishy laugh...
Kh: mantriji...I hope yaha aane mein aapko koi takleef nahi hui?
C: arrey nahi nahi! Hum yaha apna paksh rakhne aaye hai...aapka channel humaara bohot pasand wala hai...vo News24 waali chokri...haan...koi Ananya Kashyap...naak mein dum kar rakha hai usne!!! Kya badtameezi chokri hai!!!
He spat angrily...
Kabir smirked...
K: I'm sure...toh chale? Jaanta ko SACH se waakif karwaane?
He asked...
C: ji kyu nahi? Zaroor zaroor...chaliye...
Meanwhile...
In Ananya's cubicle:
Ananya was about to go into the PCR to meet Ronnie when Rohan met her...
Rih: Ananya ji...hi...I'm Rohan...Rohan Singhania...
Ananya smiled...
A: yes of course...aapko kon nahi jaanta...I am an ardent watcher...
She admitted...
Roh: thank u so much Ananya ji...aap jaisi talented reporter se ye sunna humaare liye bohot badi baat hai...
Aaj toh aapne kamaal hi kardiya! Maan gaye aapko!!
He said & Ananya blushed...denying him & praising him instead...
Roh: no seriously! Kya jawaab diya hai aapne uss minister ko waahh! Too good!
Just as they were speaking an over excited Trisha & a much calmer Richa bumped into them...
T: yaarrr why is sooo hottt?
Trisha squealed...
A: ab kon hot hai? Are u serious Trisha? Chaturvedi?
Ananya asked exasperatedly...completely shocked at her friend's talk...
T: offoo! Ananya tu bhi na!! Arrey I'm talking about Kabir sir...
A: oh!
T: he looks infinite times more hottt in that suit yaarrr!!!!
She said dreamily & Ananya shook her head...
A: tera kuch nahi hosakta tissue paper!
Ananya slapped Trisha's shoulder playfully...
T: ok Annieee!
Trisha grinned & batted her eyelashes at Ananya...teasing her...
A: Tissue Paper!
She teased back & Trisha pouted...
T: I'm not tissue paper!
A: then I'm not Annie!
T: yes u are...
A: then you too are...
T: no I'm not...
A: yes you...
K: Ms Kashyap!
Ananya almost stiffened hearing her name being called out...by none other than her hero...her idol...Kabir...
A: yes sir?
She asked politely...walking up to him...next to the PCR...
Just as Kabir was about to answer Rahul, the office help met up with them...
Ra: Ananya madam...main aap hi ko dhoondh raha tha...ye lijiye aapki coffee...
A: thank you Rahul ji...
She said sweetly...& Kabir raised an eyebrow...
He observed her take a sip...and watched her features curl in disgust...she thumped the coffee on a nearby desk & rished to the ladies washroom with a hand over her mouth...leaving behind a stunned Rahul & confused Kabir...
Ra: sir...sorry...ye waali aapki coffee thi aur ye Ananya madam ki...isliye...
Just then...
Ananya returned back & blasted...
A: ye kya hai! Aapke office mein kaala zeher peete hai kya?
Rahul panicked realising shecwas addressing Kabir's coffee...and tried to stop her...but in vain...
A: godd!!! Aaj ye kaala zeher peekar main sachmein paramdhaam hi pohoch jaati!!!
K: Ms Kashyap ye KAALA ZEHER main roz peeta hoon...main toh abtak dharti lok mein hi hoon..
Ananya was completely flustered...
A: uh...v...vo...
K: I drink this daily...atleast 3 a day...
He spoke...
Ananya gasped...
Her eyes as wide as saucers & her hands slapped over her mouth...
A: phir toh main aapke liye bhagwaan ji se pray karungi!
She said innocently & walked back...or rather ran back to her cubicle...
Kabir meanwhile readied himself to present the news...
Meanwhile outside...
T: yaar Ananya vadi himmat hai tujhmein!!! Yaar itna bada panga lene ka toh main soch bhi nahi sakti...vo bhi Kabir sir ke saath...
Ri: Ananya..lekin yaar...sir naraaz hogaye toh...tune jaose unhe jawaab diya...
T: arrey toh kya! Unhone hi toh Ananya ko yaha job diya hai..vo hi thodi nikaalenge...waise bhi kal poori sagaai mein vo sirf humaari Annie ko dekh rahe the...jaise Prince apne ball mein Cinderella ko dekh raha tha...
Trisha said dreamily making Richa & Ananya shake their heads...
Just as the girls were chattering Ronnie came along...
Ro: Ananya..chal...aaj tera lucky din hai!
He beamed...
A: achcha? Kyu?
Ro: arrey...Kabir sir chahte hai tu PCR meinbaithe aur unhe bulletin ke dauraan guide kare...
Kabir, Khalid & Malvika heard a childish squeal & saw Ananya jump on Ronnie...hugging him tight...Kabir looked away almost immediately while Khalid sniggered & Malvika rolled her eyes...
Mal: Godd!!!
Meanwhile...
Ronnie smiled hugging Ananya back & Richa smiled back at him...
A: yaarrr!! I'm sooo happy! Sachchi he wants me there? Ohh my god!!!
She squealed...
Ro: ok ok...ab chal...varna dant padegi...
They cried...rushing to the PCR...
Everyone had taken their seats & the bulletin was about to begin...
Ro: sir ready to go in 5 4 3 2 1...
K: Namashkar...main Kabir Sharma swaagat karta hoon aapka humaari iss khaas peshkash mein...aaj humaare saath studio mein upasthith hai humaare Defence minister Mr Pannalal Chaturvedi...jo aaj janta ke samaksh apna paksh rakhenge...
Aaiyye baat karte hai mantriji se...aapka KKN mein swaagat hai Shri Pannalal Chaturvedi ji...
C: ji dhanyawaad...hum keval humaari janta ko sach bataane yaha aaye hai...
Sach ye hai kal raat humaari shaadi nahi...balki humaare naukar ki beti ki shaadi karwa rahe the hum...bade shusheel aur samajhdaar ladke ke saath...
A: sir...footage play hone ke liye ready hai...
Ananya whispered over the microphone...
K: Naya khulasa! Mantriji ke bayan ke hisaab se dulha vo nahi balki koi aur shaks tha...KKN ne iss baat ki teh tak pohonchne ke liye ek choti koshish ki...aur haath lagi ye sansanikhes footage...
The footage was played & with each passing second the minister grew paler while Ananya & Kabir's smirks widened...
C: y..ye...j..jhooth hai! Tumhaare channel ne dhoka kiya hai! M..main...band karwa dunga...i..ise...aur..aur...
A: sir...inhe abhi abhi inki party aur inki position se inpeach kardiya gaya hai...
Ananya informed Kabir with a smile...
K: Mantriji ka karya bhale hi punya na kana paya par humaari sarkar kaxye karya punya avashya kamaayega...
Sutro se abhi mili Khabr ke anusaar...Shri Pannalal Chaturvedi ji ko inki party aur position se darkhaast kardiya gaya hai...
Humaare Ex-Defence minister kya apni janta se kuch kehna chahte hai? Aiyye unse jaante hai...
The minister fumed...throwing off the coffee mug with a flick of his hand...
He stormed out leaving a smirking Kabir behind...
K: toh ye thi aaj ki breaking news...milte hai aaj raat theek 9 bbaje isi jagah...Khaas Khabre Kabir Sharma ke saath mein...tab tak ke liye agya dijiye! Dhanyawaad!
There Kabir ended his bulletin with a bang!!!!
Ananya had a hard time from controlling herself to not squeal & jump up & down in excitement...
Ananya gasped as Kabir gave her a charming smile...
K: Thank you...Ms Kashyap...
His husky voice echoed in her ears from her ear peice...
****
Ananya was waiting in the dressing room as Kabir had asked her to meet him there...
She was so excited to know what her hero wanted to talk to her about...
Just then...
The minister barged out of the studio into the dressing room, seething...seeing Ananya there he was all the more furious...
C: Tu! Ye sab teri vajah se hua hai...ab dekh mein tera kya haal
Karta hoon..
He licked his lips seeing that she was all alone...
Ananya's head whipped towards him...and she looked at him icily...
A: achcha? You won't dare touch me...
Ananya said boldly...
The minister screeched & aimed a hard punch at her...
However even before Ananya could stop him she felt herself being pulled to crash into a familiar perfumed chest...
Kabir held Ananya to his chest with one hand while the other held the Minister Chaturvedi's fist in a deadly tight grip...making him struggle...
K: You know better than to put your hands on a lady!
Kabir growled & the man flinched...so did Ananya...having never seen her hero...who was well known in the news industry for his calm demenour inspite his extra stern self get so angry...
C: barbaad kardunga tumhe Kabir Sharma!! Aur tumhaare iss channel ko!!! Aur ise toh...
Chaturvedi again tried to grab Ananya...earning a growl from Kabir as he swiftly lifted Ananya off her feet...
K: I dare u to touch her!
Kabir said in a dangerous voice to the visibly shaken Chaturvedi...
Ananya gasped slightly...her arms curling around Kabir's neck for support...being in her hero's arms was the last thing she had expected on her first day at work...
By now all the seniors had gathered there...gaping at Ananya nestled into Kabir's strong arms...
Mal: Kabir...?
She trailed off...shocked & angry...
Chaturvedi fumed and stormed away...police would handle him soon...
Ananya looked up at her angry boss...still holding her in his arms...his face was red with anger but his grip on her was firm yet as gentle as ever...
Kh: Kabir...what...just happened?
Asked a clearly confused Khalid...
K: I can't stand disrespect to women...
Answered Kabir monotonously...
K: vo Chaturvedi humaare channel ki reporter ko sare a beizzat karne ki dhamki de raha tha...he was about to take advantage of Ananya!
Kabir shouted...
Kh: uhmm..hey...calm down Kabir...she's fine...I guess?
Hearing him Kabir's molten chocolate brown eyes slowly darted down to meet Ananya's hazel orbs...
He softened up seeing her innocent face...her cheeks tainted a cute pink...her eyes full of dreams & innocence...
The thought of someone hurting such an innocent soul made him mad...
This girl surely had something in her...
First she attracted him by her phenomenal reporting skills & now...
Wells lets forget it...no going back down the same lane to meet up with despair...
Kabir thought...grimacing at the thought of his love life...
A: sir?
A voice sweeter than anything in the world broke into his thoughts...
Kabir then realised that Ananya was addressing him...
K: yes?
He asked in his husky voice...
A: umm...aap...mujhe...neeche...utaarenge...please...
She said softly & Kabir mentally chided himself realising she was still curled up in his arms...
K: sure...I'm sorry...
He muttered and walked to the nearby couch holding her & gently lowered her onto the plush white couch in the green room...
Kabir cleared his throat awkwardly & Ananya continued to blush profusely...
Later that Night...
Kashyap House:
Ananya sat in the dimly lit drawing room...waiting for her mother to arrive...
She had a photo in her hands...
In the photo was a handsome young man with his arm around a younger beautiful Anita...probably in late 20s...
A little girl of a about 7-8 years was cuddled up in the man's arms & Anita carried a little cute baby wrapped in white...
Ananya smiled fondly at the picture...
A: papa...aap jab vapas aayenge na toh aapko aapka parivaar vaisa hi...khushaal aur sukhi milega jaisa aap chodkar gaye the...I promise...
She said determinedly...addressing the man in the photo, her father...
A: aapko pata hai ab main Kabir sir ke saath kaam karti hoon...vahi Kabir sir jinpar aapko itna vishwaas tha...I can't wait for a new day at work with him...wowww!
She squealed...
An: arrey waah! Aaj koi bada khush hai?
Ananya pouted seeing Anita enter the house, and place her coat, hand bag etc on the table...
A: nahi maa...aaj toh pakka katti! Aap na sirf apne patients se pyaar karti ho...beti se nahi! Huhh!
She pouted & sulked like an angey baby...
An: aaww!
Anita gave her a hug & kissed her angry red cheek...
An: mera bachcha naraaz hai?
A: bohot!
Ananya said sternly & Anita chuckled...
An: kya karu beta...itna kaam hota hai...aur phir koi emergency hui toh...tum toh jaanti ho na...pregnant aurte...specially first timers...kitne curious aur worried hote hai...aur unhe har waqt monitor karna hota hai..baby ki health monitor karni hoti hai...kitna kaam hota hai...phir labor pains ke aane ka koi fixed waqt bhi toh nahi hota...abhi abhi ek aurat ki delivery karwaayi humne...bechaari bohot dard mein thi...pati zinda nahi raha aur aage peeche bhi koi nahi tha...
A: hmm...I know...I should be proud u maa...par I love u na so aap humesha busy rehti ho toh...
She trailed off embarrassedly...
An: umm...iska solution nikaale? Tum bhi aajao hospital...pregnancy monitor karwaane? Hmm?
A: maa?
Ananya knew where this was going...
An: haan beta...
A: shaadi karlo aur phir jab baby hone waala hoga toh saath mein time hi time...
Ananya completed...& Anita smiled...
A: aap na kuch bhi karke...ghoom phirke shaadi par hi aa jaati ho na?
Ananya narrowed her eyes & Anita sighed...
An: Ananya...beta ab is saal tum 25 saal ki hojaaogi...hum abhi start karenge tab kahi 27 tak shaadi hogi na...
Anita explained...
A: hmmm...achcha chalo abhi sabse pehle pet poojan...
Phir dulha shodhan!
They giggled at the little rhyme & went off for dinner...
TBC😳
Precap:
Conference Room:
M: Kabir sahab...aaj mujhe ek zor faar lead mili hai...
Said Manav with a crooked grin...
Kabir smirked in reply...
K: sure Manav bhai...tell me about it...
M: yeah...Delhi ke paas ke chote gaavon mein ek lady gynaecologist ne free medical camps lagwaaye hai...vaha gaav ki mahilao ko pregnancy aur feminine.uh...hygiene vagere ke baare mein sikhaane ke liye...
Aur vo unka free check up bhi karengi...kyunki waha delivery ke liye koi qualified doctor nahi hai...kuch aurte hai jinhone oehle bhi bachche paida karwaaye hai...
Manav finished...embarrassed at the lead he'd got after ages..
Cursing his fate...
Others too were chuckling & murmuring..
Mal: uhm...
Malvika glared at everyone as she cleared her throat...making them quiet...
Mal: Kabir why don't we call her for an interview?
K: very well...
Mal: I can...
K: Ms Kashyap...you will handle this interview's script etc...hum inhe raat 9 baje ki khabro mein include karsakte hai...
A: sir...hum ise kal karsakte hai?
Mal: why is that? Hum basi news pesh nahi karte Ms Ananya!
Malvika scoffed..
Ananya rolled her eyes...secretly...and then smiled...
A: ma'am...kyunki kal women's day hai...aur aise mein we can dedicate this topic to women...humaare har bulletin mein hume aurte ko kuch special dedication deni chahiye...
Ananya suggested...
K: Superb!
Kabir said with a smile...
Ananya blushed to see him looking at her...
K: it seems much worth of our efforts to bring u here in KKN...Ms Kashyap...
Ananya smiled brightly...because her day was made...
Kabir continued to look at her while Malvika fumed...
