Hey guys!
Im really sorry for another late update but I have no excuse other than loads of home chores plus office work from home in this lockdown 
I hope you enjoy the update & it's long enough 
Chapter 5:
Ananya enjoyed the familiar beautiful view of the elite area they were driving through. Kabir wasn't exactly her favourite person that day, but she was excited. This was going to be her first big sting operation that too with her idol. Kabir Sharma was a legend, there was no doubt about it. She thought herself privileged to be able to work with him.
It was great learning opportunity for her, & she was determined to forget everything that had happened & learn as much as she could from her idol. This was her chance to prove her worth to her hero & win her job & the chance to work with him back. This had been her dream after all.
Her eyes shone with delight as she spotted a familiar temple in the surrounding. Her mother frequented this temple frequently with her family tagging along several times. She really needed god on her side for the most high profile sting operation of her career so far.
A: Sir....
She began, almost hesitantly, wondering if he would understand her point, however she had to try.
K: Yes?
Kabir glanced at her breifly, before concentrating back on the road.
A: uh....
She began softly before explaining her exact wish to him. " of course!" He'd drawled politely.
K: Main toh bhagwaan mein vishwaas karta nahi, par aap ho aiyye. Aapko aur bhi kuch karna hai, kahi jaana hai, khaana peena hai, vo karlijiye par uske baad mujhe aapka poora focus aur attention sting operation par chahiye, you get that?
He'd been sure to add afterwards, being the strict & professional senior he was. However, even Kabir Sharma hadn't been able to resist a small smile at the way Ananya 's eyes lit up like a child on Christmas when he'd granted her simple wish.
She'd rushed out of the car & up the temple steps as soon as Kabir had parked the car to a side, making him shake his head at her excitement as he reclined back in his seat, waiting for his junior.
Ananya on the other hand had offered her prayers a while back. Kabir found her roaming the temple premises desperately as if looking for something she'd lost.
K: Ms Kashyap!
He jogged up to her making her turn to him. He frowned noticing the slightly irritated look on her face.
K: All okay?
He queried gently.
A: Sir! Kahi aapne bahar apne joote.....
She trailed off, slapping her forehead in sheer exasperation when she took in his socked feet. Ananya rushed past Kabir towards the entry of the temple with Kabir following her, confused.
A: I knew it! Aapke joote bhi chori hogaye!
Ananya cried out on the reaching the area where all the people entering the temple had removed their footwear. Kabir looked down across her line of sight & the realisation dawned upon him. There were no traces of his shoes or the tiny heeled sandals he'd seen in Ananya's dainty feet.
K: Aapke sandals chori hogaye!
He stated the obvious making Ananya nod as she looked around frantically.
A: Vo raha!
Ananya pointed at a man roaming around there, with what she realised was her brown coloured sandal & the dark top of Kabir's shoe sticking out of his bag.
A fuming Ananya was about to actually pounce on the theif when Kabir placed an arm in between, barring her from moving ahead.
K: Its okay.
He told her softly.
A: Sir lekin.....
Ananya protested, still trying to get past his arm, when he held her by her shoulders,effectively preventing her exit.
K: I said its OKAY.
Kabir commanded his junior sternly, making her break into one of her timeless, hopelessly adorable pouts that demanded all of Kabir's self control to not give in to anything & everything she ever desired.
Ananya had a slight sulk on her face but didn't have it her to disobey the most powerful, influential journalist of the country, much less her hero.
A: aapne mujhe kyu roka sir!
She whined, frowning when Kabir just looked calmly at her. He stood there with folded arms. Kabir's stoic expression successfully masked his amusement seeing her antics.
K: Look there, Ms Kashyap.
Kabir shifted to stand behind her, sending shivers down Ananya's body as his deep masculine baritone sent warmth across the skin of her earlobe.
K: Uss aadmi ko dekhiye. Usne abhi abhi unn uncle ki jeb se chewing gum churayi hai. Now tell me...doesn't he look too well-dressed for a chappal Chor?
Kabir couldn't resist the soft chuckle that escaped his lips as soon as he heard Ananya 's mesmerizingly sweet giggle.
K: He does.
Kabir answered his own question before continuing.
K: Dhyaan se dekhiyega, aapko aisa nahi lagta ki....
A: vo aise hi kuch bhi chura raha hai...chewing gum, joote aur ab kiska comb bhi churaya usne. Vo aisi cheezein chura raha jinhe bechke use koi profit nahi hoga....he's just random.
Ananya completed his sentence for him. Kabir nodded in agreement, slightly surprised.
K: Exactly....I think he's a....
A: Kleptomaniac!
Ananya beamed up at him, hoping she was right. Kabir nodded curtly. He didn't like to be interrupted but he was impressed with Ananya's observation & quick understanding skills.
A: Sorry sir.....
Ananya trailed off sheepishly seeing Kabir 's grim expression & realising her folly.
A: Oh...toh vo bimaar hai...isliye aapne mujhe roka! Aap kitne intelligent hai....so observant....I just LOVEEEE you and.....
Ananya babbled away before stopping short & bitting her lip seeing Kabir's eyebrow quirked up at her yet again, having realised what she'd just spoken out. He looked on with quite a bit of amusement as Ananya mumbled something about how was becming an expert in making "kachra" of herself in front of her idol repeatedly before she scuttled to the car.
Ananya berated herself mentally, though she wasn't exactly pleased with Kabir deriving fun from her little display back there. Damn his perfect, chiselled, greek god like self! Like any other woman he charmed, he was able melt her into a puddle in flat seconds. However, she wasn't going to let her charismatic boss see that.
Ananya looked around the store displaying a variety of accessories. Kabir had stopped the car & brought her along inside.
K: Ms Kashyap, hum already kaafi late ho chuke hai. Choose some footwear quickly. We need to leave asap.
Kabir commanded in his boss tone & Ananya nodded.
A: Yes sir.
Ananya answered ever so sweetly, rewarding Kabir with a beautiful smile.
Seeing potential buyers, the store salesman rushed to assist them, seating them & asking if would like coffee or a cold drink. Wanting to make haste, so that they could get on with their sting operation, Ananya was busy looking around for a decent pair of sandals to match her disguise outfit.
As her eyes scanned through the several display peices on the aisles, she came across a pair of classy, sleek, dark charcoal coloured formal shoes for men that she knew would look glorious on Kabir.
However, not wanting to anger her senior with any further comments, Ananya didn't say anything & went about trying on the sandals the salesman brought her.
Just as Ananya was finalising her buy, the couch dipped low due to the weight as Kabir took a seat on it, next to her. Something in Ananya wanted to burst out in sheer delight & glee. However, with her hero of several years sitting right next to her, when even meeting him had been just a distant dream gave her gitters.
Ananya looked genuinely surprised when the salesman brought the exact pair she'd liked for Kabir in his size. Even though Kabir was facing away from her, speaking to the salesman, but she could make out the faint smile on his face from the corner. She looked away when he happened to glance at her. Was this man for real? How could someone be so observant & sharp all the time?????
K: Are you done?
Kabir's voice brought her out of her fangirliing session. He looked expectantly at her as he tried on a pair of shoes.
Ananya was about to answer when she noticed the man, sitting on the cash counter looking at them, again. Following his line of vision, Ananya soon realised that he was actually looking at Kabir, not her.
Instantly, any discomfort she had flewout of the window, replaced by amusement instead. Kabir turned to his junior when she giggled. Such a beautiful sound it was to his ears.
K: Care to share the joke, Ms Kashyap?
Ananya blushed when Kabir caught her & only hinted at the man from earlier.
K: Admirer?
Kabir had a smirk on his face as he gently teased his junior.
A: Yes of course, par mera nahi....
Ananya said, barely controlling her laughs. Kabir tried to level her with a stern look, but in vain, he sighed. He was about to get up to walk around to check the fitting of the shoes but nearly jumped in horror when the man in question suddenly looked directly at him & winked,raising three fingers at him in appreciation.
Ananya was sure she wasn't seeing things when she saw the tips of Kabir's ear turn beetred. A warm palm placed its over her smaller one, almost gripping it tightly.
Ananya's cheeks were tinted pink, but she made no move to remove Kabir's hand. In the meantime, the man had stopped approaching them, choosing to growl lowly to himself & walk away.
A: Bhool gaye? Iswaqt main aapki patni hoon....Sonu ke papa! He realised your married.
A tiny giggle from Ananya brought Kabir out of his confused thougts as too how the man left him alone suddenly. Ananya stopped giggling when Kabir levelled her with a stern gaze but smiled cheekily none the less, hinting towards their hands. As realisation dawned upon Kabir zge immediately withdrew his hand, obviously awkward as he whispered his apology to her.
Having finally selected the purchase, Kabir paid for them, ignoring Ananya 's protests.
A: sir aap....
K: Ek minute bhai sahab....lagta hai meri wife ko kuch aur bhi dekhna hai, hum aabhi aate hai.
Kabir told the salesperson with a shake of his head.
K: Ms Kashyap.....
Kabir pulled Ananya to a side & whispered.
K: I'm sure aap humaara cover jaanti hai. Hum iss waqt pati patni bane hai, we need to act like it. Pati patni separate bills nahi banvaate.
Kabir explained.
A: Yes sir, Lekin....
K: Is that clear?
Kabir demanded in a formal tone before he could melt at the sulky pout on Ananya's beautiful face.
*******
Having donned her new purchase,that Kabir purchased for her, Ananya sat wordlessly during the further ride.
She pouted, thinking how much fun all her friends had poked at her when she'd told them of the happenings of the previous night especially her & Kabir's conversation on phone. She still remembered Sunny's untamed ki, Ronnie's chuckles & Richa & Trisha 's giggles.
Kabir glanced at Ananya from the corner of his eye on hearing her huff.
K: Ms Kashyap? Kya baat hai? Aap aaj kaafi gusse mein lagrahi hai.
Ananya narrowed her eyes hearing Kabir.
A: Sab aapki galati hai sir! Agar aap pehle hi bata dete ki aap KABIR SHARMA hai,LEGEND hai! Journalism ki dunia ke Raja hai toh mera yoon mazaak nahi banta!
She pouted. Kabir nearly melted. Even as young children, Ananya's pout always had Kabir do her bidding.
Kabir swore that if anything her pout had become more adorable over the years, unfortunately for him.
K: I hope aap iss galati ke liye apne senior ko maaf kar sakti hai, Ms Kashyap.
He smiled charmingly at her without even realising what it did to her. Ananya blushed & nodded. Kabir Sharma had so far been the only man to turn the feisty Crime reporter Ananya Kashyap into a blushing school girl.
A: Ji...karna hi padega na....
She muttered. Kabir always managed to get his way. She couldn't even be mad at him. She was way too attracted & devoted to him to do so.
K: kuch kaha aapne?
Kabir asked as they entered the premises of the coaching centre. Driving through the huge, lavish driveway.
K: Its Showtime Ms Kashyap!
Kabir said with a determined look as he swiftly umbuckled himself & stepped out. He opened the door for Ananya, offering her his hand. Ananya took it & stepped besides him.
K: Is this okay?
Ananya shuddered violently. Kabir's strong arm wrapped itself around her slender waist as his silken voice whispered into her ear. His lips accidentally grazed her earlobe as he spoke, sending warm air to tingle her already sensitised skin. Even though rude & strict, quite bossy even, Ananya loved how much of a gentleman Kabir was. He always asked for permission.
A: J...ji...
She tried her level best to sound coherent but ended up with a light stammer. Kabir quirked an eyebrow up at her, but let it go & instead lead her inside wordlessly.
Kabir & Ananya entered the coaching centre, looking around at the supposedly studious ambiance. There were pin boards everywhere with different notices. Several students & teachers roamed the area.
Ananya couldn't help but notice the several females, old & young turning to look at Kabir, giggling to themselves & whispering about how 'hot' he was. However, she realised Kabir hadn't really noticed or if he had, chose not to react.
K: Chalo....
He told her gently tightening his strong arm around her petite frame earning her glares from all the women, much to her amusement.
" Arrey arrey arrey! Sahab, kaha?"
A peon stopped Kabir & Ananya as they were making their way towards the principal 's office.
K: Trustee ke office mein.
Kabir said dryly, eyeing the man before him in obvious distaste.
P: Aap aise andar nahi jaa sakte. Sir free nahi hai.Vo aise hi kisi se nahi mil....
The man began however stopped short when Kabir discretly slipped him a few thousands & his eyes glittered with greed.
K: Ab toh free hogaye honge na?
Kabir asked with a meaningful look. The man grinned.
K: That's what I thought, c'mon sweetheart.
He looked lovingly at the woman, he held delicately as if she were a glass doll. However, it wasn't difficult to give that expression, owing to the fact that the loving smile he gave Ananya came almost naturally.
A: Ji chaliye.
Ananya agreed, still dealing with her fluttering heart, all thanks to Kabir.
Knocking once, the two journalists entered the cabin. A severe looking man with rapidly greying hair & a salt pepper beard sat on the desk before them.
"Yes?"
The man asked, sizing up the impeccably dressed couple curiously. He smiled on realising a loaded party before him, asking them to take a seat.
Kabir pulled a chair for Ananya, settling her before he took the chair next to her.
K: Hello, Mr Purushottam Bhatia? I'm Virendra Malhotra, and this is my lovely wife, Arpita. Hum yaha apne bete ke admission ke liye aaye hai. We've met the principal here, but nothing seemed to work out. Isliye, socha directly aapse mil lein.
Kabir shook the man's hand firmly as the introduced each other.
T: I see, toh kitne percent aaye hai aapke bete ke?
The trustees asked, glancing through a file.
A: Mera Sonu toh laakho mein ek hai! Aapko pata hai principal sir, mera bachcha poore 55 percent laaya hai! Haaye mera Sonu! Kitna samajhdar hai na vo! Kyu ji?
Ananya squealed, turning to Kabir for a reply.
Kabir chuckled deeply, another sound that toyed with Ananya 's senses.
K: Of course, baby .
He cooed before leaning in slightly closer to Ananya.
K: ( whispered) Ms Kashyap, overreacting horahi hai! Control!
WHAT!! The nerve of this man! Always finding some fault with her.
A: ( in her mind) Haan haan acting ka theka toh sirf inhone hi le rakha hai. Main overreacting kar rahi hoon! Khud toh jaise acting school kholkar baithe hai, kabse sweetheart sweetheart baby baby kiye jaa rahe hai uska kuch nahi!
A minute later, her reverie was broken by Kabir's soft " ouch". Ananya bit her tongue realising that her leg had swung out on its on accord.
K: Yeh kya badtameezi hai Ms Kashyap!
Kabir hissed, rubbing his shin lightly.
A: So sorry sir, leg spasm!
Ananya told him cheekily & Kabir narrowed his eyes.
K: it's alright...
Kabir muttered, the audacity of this girl! However he let it go, knowing that their sting operation was currently of more importance than Ananya's petty antics.
T: Dekhiye sir, humaara Centre har saal jo entrance exam organise karta hai, usmein jinn students ke marks cut off se upar aate hai, unhe hi consider kiya jaata hai. Iss saal cut off 70 % tha, aur aapke bachche ke sirf 55% aaye hai iss exam mein, board mujhe aapke bete ko admission dene ke liye permission nahi dega. I'm sorry, main aapki koi madat nahi karsakta.
The trustee looked grim as he spoke to them, smiling sadly at them. Ananya put on a near crying face & Kabir immediately pulled her close.
A: ( whispered) sir, ab aap dekhiyega! Iss laachaar maa ka jalwa!
She winked at Kabir when the trustee wasn't watching.
A: Please sir, kuch toh kijiye! Main aapke iss institute se bohot impressed hoon. Mere bachche ka bhavishya banjaayega agar vo yaha padh lega!
Ananya requested innocently.
The trustee turned to look at Ananya as if she were something to eat, like a peices of fresh meat as he eyed her petite form huddled against Kabir.
Smiling wickedly he spoke again.
T: Dekhiye, ma'am ab itna keh rahi hai, toh....ek cheez ho sakti hai.
The man looked at Kabir meaningfully.
K: Anything!
Kabir was bang on playing the concerned father.
The trustee took a deep breath before he continued.
T: Humaare institute ko kuch naye equipment ki zaroorat hai. Agar aap kuch donation de de toh shayad main board ko convince kar saku.
K: Donation?
Kabir frowned, but looked interested.
T: Ab kya kare sir, dunia ka niyam hai. Luch paane ke iye, kuch khona padta hai. Aapke bete ke admission ko paane ke liye aapko bas 50 lakh khone honge.
The man explained.
K: 50 Lakh! That's ridiculous! Itni toh fees bhi nahi hoti! Hum bhi well educated log hai, system samajhte hai. Aur jagah bhi aise donations liye jaate hai, but 50 lakhs is just too much!
Kabir huffed as he settled back in his chair with Ananya rubbing his back.
The trustee's eyes widened before he laughed.
P: Arrey sir! Hota hoga doosri jagah! Par Full Marks Coaching Centre ki 100% guarantee bhi toh hai! Sir aapka bachcha humaare yaha se padhega toh uska selection pakka hai. Aap aise sochiye ki ye aapki aulad ke bright future ke liye ek choti si investment hai.
The man looked hopefully at Kabir & Ananya.
K: Choti si?
Kabir snorted.
K: Are you serious?
Ananya placed her hand on Kabir's shoulder, before pulling his hand into hers. Kabir suddenly felt electrified at her touch, completely confused at his own reaction.
A: Suniye na ji! De dijiye na, jitne paise maangrahe hai! Aakhir aapki kamaai humaare bachche ke liye toh hai na.
Kabir could feel his hand throb as he carefully withdrew it from Ananya's grip to adjust his pen camera. The alien feelings swirling around in his mind had him way too distracted.
A: Suniye?
Ananya 's concerned, sweet voice broke his chain of thoughts. Turning to the principal with a confident look Kabir spoke up.
K: Theek hai. Aajtak maine tumhaari har wish poori ki hai jaan, aur aaj bhi karunga chahe jo hojaaye. Agar tum chahti ho, toh humaara Sonu yahi padhega.
Kabir declared, enjoying the slightly sour expression covering the previous gleeful & greedy one. Take that! He thought. He'd seen that grubby man was eying his young junior & didn't like it one bit.
K: Jaan, tum yahi baitho main apni secretary ko phone karke paiso ka arrangement karwaata hoon okay? Excuse me!
T: sure!
Kabir turned to Ananya tenderly, squeezing her shoulder before stepping out of the cabin.
As soon as Kabir left, Ananya felt her phone vibrate.
Kabir Sir: Ms Kashyap, call me.
Ananya instantly understood what Kabir wanted her to do & replied.
Ananya: Yes sir.🙂
Kabir :🙂
Ananya blushed lightly seeing the smilie & dialed Kabir.
Meanwhile the old trustee eyed Ananya yet again like the predator he was. Getting up from his seat, he sat down next to Ananya, in the chair previously occupied by Kabir.
T: I'm sorry madam, aapko itni taqleef horahi hai. Itni khubsoorat aurat ko taqleef dete hue mujhe bilkul achcha nahi lagraha par mere haath bandhe hue hai.
The trustee tutted apologetically, placing his hand around her chair.Ananya moved back slightly consciously but didn't say anything.
A: Ji, koi baat nahi.
She mumbled softly, fidgeting with her phone.
T: Par aap chahe toh mere haath khol sakti hai.
The man smiled at her in a way that made her feel uncomfortable.
A: Ji?
Ananya questioned, wanting him to blurt out his disgusting intentions.
T: Aapko donation kam karva sakta hoon main....lekin uske liye....
He trailed off, licking his lips & staring at Ananya creepily. She flinched away when he placed his hand on her shoulder. The only assurance she had was that it would be over soon & that Kabir was recording every bit of this conversation outside.
A: Sach? Aap donation kuch kam kardenge? Main aur kuch bhi karne ko tayyar hoon! Apbe bachche ki khaatir!
Ananya pleaded in a desperate voice hoping to get him to show his true colours.
The trustee's eyes lit up at this and to Ananya's disgust, he licked his lips hungrily, again.
T: Kuch bhi?
He asked eagerly & Ananya nearly grimaced but controlled herself somehow.
A: Ji...aap kehkar toh dekhiye! Jaise nayi course ki kitaabe, stationary, desks, boards vagera laana ho. Hum ye sab le aayenge! Aapko yahi sab equipment chahiye na?
She questioned innocently.
At this the idiot had the nerve to cackle like a hyena.
T: uh aan! Aap kitni bholi hai madam! Ye sab toh hum khud hi mangwa sakte hai. Aap toh bas....humaara khayaal rakhiye! Hum aapke bachche ka rakhenge! Sahi hai?
He looked at Ananya with lust filled eyes, tracing her cheek with his slimy finger. It took all of Ananya 's self control to not snap & break his bones right there.
A: J...ji? Kya bakwaas hai ye!!
Ananya jumped up, horrified.
A: Dekhiye, main shaadishuda hoon...vaisi aurat nahi hoon aur apne unse bohot pyaar karti hoon, unke alava kisika khayal bhi mere liye paap hai. Aap door hatiye! HATIYE!
She huffed, pushing him away, only to hear him chuckle, making her try very hard not to slap him.
T: Bas ek baar! Sochiye! Don't you know women comprise like this all the time for finer things in life? Isse aapke bete ki life set hojaayegi! Main donation amount 20 lakh kardunga, aapki khatir!
He grinned wickedly at her, holding her shoulders from behind, leaning in closer.
A: Please sir! Aisa mat kijiye! M...main ye nahi...please...mere bete ka admission kahi nahi horaha hai...aap hi humaari aakhri ummeed hai...please...mere bachche ka saal barbaad hojaayega...bina coaching ke vo fail hojaayega please...
Ananya sobbed, joining her hands before him.
The trustee attempted to pull her closer however, Ananya pulled away, walking over to the other side of the room, praying for this ordeal to be over soon. Unfortunately fr her the man followed her. She didn't know how long she could spare the old pervert.
A: Dekhiye....main chillaungi...apne unko bulaungi!
She warned, moving away from him but that man! He laughed right in her face!
T: Usse kya hoga? Aapke Sonu ka admission hojaayega? Uska future set hojaayega?
The man asked. Seeing Ananya 's lowered face, he smirked before continuing.
T: Sochiye! Aapki ek kurbaan aapke bete ki zindagi bana sakta hai! Aur kisi ko kaano kaan khabar bhi nahi hogi. Aapke pati ko bhi nahi. Sirf ek baar meri baahon mein aa jaiyye, kya pata hum aapka donation hi maaf karde! Saath hi maze ka maza aur kaam ka kaam!
He purred at her, making Ananya all the more uncomfortable. It was even more awkward that her boss, the channel's Editor- in-cheif was listening to this conversation & soon the others would too.
A: ( in her mind) Achcha beta! Ye sab record horaha hai! Tu toh ruk! Tujhe toh aisa maza chakhaungi ki teri saat pushte yaad rakhengi, Kameene! Tujhe aur tere jaise haiwaano ko toh main national TV par expose karungi!
Smirking to herself, all ready to play along, Ananya hesitantly turned to face the man. The trustee 's eyes glittered seeimg Ananya's slowly changing expressions that gave him the impression that she was actually considering his proposal.
A: uh.....umm....s..si...sirf...ek baar? Kisi ko pata chal gaya toh? M...main apne pati se bohot pyaar karti hoon...unhe khona nahi chahti!
Ananya spoke easily uneasily, using her dupatta to wipe imaginary sweat in the air conditioned cabin.
T: Ye raaz sirf humaara aur aapka hoga! Itni kamaal ki khubsoorat hai aap, aapke liye toh kuch bhi! Aur humaare hote hue aapko uss do kaudi ke businessman ki kya zaroorat hai jo aapke bachche ki education ke paise bhi nahi desakta! Kabhi hume bhi seva ka mouka de dijiye!
The trustee grinned shamelessly, moving forward to hug her when Ananya pushed him back firmly with a hand on his shoulder.
A: Kaha? Aur kab?
Ananya asked uneasily, glancing at the door, with a slightly frightened expression. At the this the man's eyes lit up with greed & Ananya was positive her face looked green.
T: Hotel Ravine. Aaj raat 8 baje. Tayyar hokar aiyyega. Maybe a sexy dress?
He winked at her & Ananya was two seconds away from ripping out his eyes that seemed to be glued to her curves.
God, was she violent today!
Ananya nodded briskly before glancing at him tentatively.
A: Aap jo kahenge main karne ke liye tayyar hoon. Please bas mere unse kuch mat kahiye! Mera ghar toot jaayega! Please main aapke haath jodti hoon. Main ye sirf mere Sonu ke liye kar rahi hoon!
Ananya pleaded with folded hands, acting every bit of the helpless mother she was, but her inner thoughts were anything but helpless.
Walking out of the cabin of the sick, sick excuse of a trustee, Ananya met up with Kabir. However, what surprised her was that instead of the victorious smirk she expected to see on his chiselled face, his jaw was clenched visibly.
Inspite of his look of fury, Kabir didn't look any less handsome to Ananya, infact more if anything. Shaking off her hero fangirling & admiration session Ananya was about to say something, when Kabir's fingers enclosed firmly around her small wrist.
Ananya looked on as Kabir lead her out, not glancing at her. However she could make out his current mood from his stiffened posture.
Inspite of the rage bubbling within him, Kabir being the thorough gentleman opened the car door for Ananya.
The fact that he couldn't for the life of him understand why he was so angry & the feelings Ananya had begun to stir deep inside him, only added to his feelings of anger.
K: Bloody disgusting ba***rd!
Ananya heard her senior mutter as he started the car. For a while they drove on in silence, both not knowing what to say.
However, the silence was soon broken by an odd grumble sound, that was quite prominent owing to the qiuet atmosphere. A soft giggle escaped Ananya 's lips when she realised what the sound was & also its origin.
She instantly looked away from Kabir' s heated glare, the very next moment, mumbling an apology.
Ananya giggled silently to herself as she noticed the red crawling up Kabir's neck. S 9he had never thought that Kabir Sharma could be so adorable when blushing. However, her giggles were quick to hault right when her own stomach complained with a similar noise.
She pouted when Kabir raised a sharp eyebrow up at her in amusement, as they waited for the green signal. She really wanted to wipe that teasing expression off his perfectly sculpted face.
A: Uh...sorry sir...vo..mera pehla...you know...high profile sting operation tha na...toh bohot excited thi...toh uss chakkar mein subah breakfast hi nahi kiya.
She blurted out...biting her lip nervously.
Soft, sweet warmth flooded through Ananya's heart as Kabir threw his head back & a deep chuckle escaped his throat.
K: Don't worry about it, I can understand. Good job by the way, Ms Kashyap.
Ananya didn't fail to notice the dimples that came to play when he smiled that million dollar smile of his.
A: Thank you sir!
Kabir smiled to see stars shining in his junior's eyes as she eagerly soaked up his praise. By now he had no doubt about her potential, though he wasn't about to say it to her. She needed to be pushed & challenged to explore her full potential & Kabir Sharma would do just that.
K: Tumhe bohot bhook lagi hogi na?
Kabir asked Ananya, glancing at his watch. Light concern swam in his beautiful pools of molten chocolate. Ananya smiled to herself. It was wonderful to see how her supposedly astute & manipulative boss was sucha compassionate & sweet person on the inside who cared for everything & everyone.
K: 4 baj gaye hai. Aur KKN toh nearly 3 ghante door hai.
Kabir added.
A: Nahi sir! Koi baat nahi...main wait karlungi...hum office ke cafeteria mein kuch khaa lenge. Unless, aapko bohot bhook lahi hai? Toh aap khaa lijiye.
Ananya told him with a sweet smile, only to look horrified when her stomach decided to revolt against her.
K: I see.
Kabir smirked. Ananya huffed. This was really fun for him.
K: Mera toh pata nahi Ms Kashyap , par aapke pet ko ye intezaar manzoor nahi hai.
Kabir told a flustered Ananya. Ananya pouted again, it was always like this. Even as children, he'd taken great pleasure in teasing her & now as adults too. The only difference being that he was her boss now and she couldn't give him tit for tat, even if her job was already in danger.
K: Tum chaho toh yahi raste mein kahi rukkar lunch karlein?
Kabir asked her casually. Ananya nearly gasped in surprise. Kabir chuckled to himself seeing Ananya 's eyebrows reach up to her hairline.
A: uh...sir...lunch...humdono...saath?
Ananya babbled, sounding too cute for Kabir's liking.
K: Yes, Ms Kashyap! Humdono....lunch...saathmein!
He imitated her naughtily enjoying her slight sulk at being taunted yet again.
K: Why not? Humdono saath mein dinner toh kar hi chuke hai....aaj lunch bhi karlenge. We work together, fark sirf itna hai ki office mein hum lunch alag rooms mein kiya karte hai, aaj ek hi jagah karlenge.
He told her nonchalantly though surprised himself at why his mood suddenly seemed so much better at the thought of lunch with Ms Kashyap.
A:Ji..jaisa aap theek samjhe sir.
Ananya nodded in agreement, her eyes widening as she suddenly caught sight of something from Kabir's window.
A: Sir Sir Sir!!! Rukiye rukiye rukiye! Pleasee!!!
She squealed & Kabir brought the car to an abrupt yet skillful stop, looking at Ananya as if she were crazy.
Blushing deeply, Ananya meekly pointed to the tiny line of food shops on the road.
K: Yaha? Yaha kya hai?
Kabir asked trying to look at the shop Ananya had pointed.
A: Humaari bhook ka ultimate solution!
Unable go control any longer, Ananya was out of the car in a second, pulling Kabir along by the next
K: Ms Kashyap...what...
He trailed off as they reached the certain small shop. The young lad at the counter smiled & waved at her.
B: Nanaste didi! Kaafi dino baad aayi aap.
The boy greeted Ananya cheerfully, who responded with equal delight, as Kabir watched their exchange silently.
B: Ronnie bhaiyya, Richa didi ya Trisha didi nahi aaye? Sunny bhaiyya toh aate rehte hai. Akele bhi!
Both laughed at this.
B: Aaj aap kise saath laayi hai? Aisa lagta hai...inhe kahi dekha hai.
The boy wondered. Leaning closer, he whispered...
B: Yeh aapke...kya kehte hai...boyfriend hai kya?
Ananya 's eyes widened in shock while Kabir coughed....loudly.
A: Shhh! Chotu! Kuch bhi!I'm so sorry sir.....
She smiled apologerically at Kabir before turning to the teen.
A: Dekha hi hoga! Yeh Kabir Sharma hai....mere boss. Bohot famous journalist hai, tumne inke articles nahi padhe?
She questioned in surprise.
Hearing Ananya, the 19 year old' s eyes widened as he took in Kabir's perfect form.
B: Oh haan! Jaanta hoon na didi! Ye toh mere favorite hai! Ab pehchaan gaya! Sahab order se pehle autograph denge kya?
Kabir smiled kindly at the teen, asking him his name & signing him a special autograph.
B: Bohot bohot thank you Sahab. Didi aaj kya lau aapke liye? Vahi aapka waala?
He asked dutifully but Ananya shook her head.
A: Nahi yaar...aaj na badi bhook lagi hai. Kabir sir bhi toh hai...ek kaam kar 2 plate chicken momos, 1 chicken chilly, triple schezwan fried rice aur.....
Kabir looked on flabbergasted as Ananya rattled on & on the names of several Chinese delicacies.
A: aur 1 fried wantons bhi....Kabir sir aapko luch aur chahiye? Sorry....maine hi sab order kardiya...aapko poocha bhi nahi...kya karu bhook hi itni lagi hai ki.....
She trailed off apologetically.
Kabir tried his best to smile & mask his bewildered expression.
K: N...nahi Ms Kashyap....bas itna hi?
However, Ananya was quick to look through his facade & glared defiantly at him.
A: Kya?? Mujhe bhook lagi hai sir!
She told him defensively & Kabir raised his hands up in surrender.
Mouthwatering aroma hit Kabir' s nostrils as the boy expertly plated up their food.
A: Sun! Ek ek karke dena!
Ananya told him as she nonchalantly hopped onto the bonnet of the car.
K: Aap yaha aksar aati hai?
Kabir questioned when Ananya had mysteriously convinced him to join her on the car bonnet. He had looked around carefully incase someone was watching, however seeing that the street was nearly deserted at this odd time, he hesitantly slid besides her.
A: Ji, ye hum saare dosto ko puraana hub hai. Humaara college yahi pass mein tha na toh main, Ronnie, Richa, Trisha aur Sunny bohot baar aate the. Aap huliye pe mat jaiyye, yaha ka Chinese KHATARNAK hota hai!
She told him excitedly, her beautiful smile ever present on her lovely face.
K:Khatarnak?
Kabir asked with a raised eyebrow making Ananya roll her eyes.
A:Offo! Sir...Khatarnak as in Ultimate, mind blowing wala khatarnak not dangerous wala khatarnak!
She giggled at his expense & Kabir hid a smile.
A: What I mean is, this place serves some amazing stuff! Aap ek baar khayenge na, toh baaki saari elite restaurants bhool jaayenge. Aap na Malvika ko bhi lekar aiyye yaha.
Ananya suggested rather innocently, not even realising it, however Malvika & Kabir, saying both of their names in a single sentence did seem to leave a sour taste in her mouth.
Kabir frowned on hearing Malvika's name.
K: Malvika? Use kyu?
He questioned, putting his plate down in his lap.
Ananya looked awkward now.
A: Office mein toh sabhi ko lagta hai ki....aapka aur...Malvika ka....koi scene hai.
Ananya told him hesitantly after a long silence, which made it clear that she was uncomfortable telling him this.
K: Aisa kuch nahi hai.
Kabir heard himself say even before he could think. Ananya took a good look at him.
Kabir didn't know why he had clarified things before Ananya, maybe because they were seeing each other for marriage.
Yet again, an awkward silence seemed to surround them until the Ananya being the angel she was, efficiently brought humour into their conversation.
A: On second thoughts sir....rehne dete hai! I really doubt that this..uh...tapri..is classy enough for Malvika.
Kabir heard his junior giggle sweetly in a manner that triggered a weird tickling in his stomach. Try as he might, Kabir couldn't fight the light smile that appeared on his lips.
Soon enough, their food arrived & Kabir nearly shook his head seeing Ananya 's delight.
She took her first morsel, & the burst of flavour nearly made her moan in delight. Kabir looked on as beautiful eyelashes caressed her creamy white skin as she closed her eyes in delight. Even with the heat that day, & their tedious sting operation taking a toll on her, Kabir still found Ananya as gorgeous as ever.
Wanting get rid of the unusual tickling, Kabir took a bite of the special momos Ananya had ordered him. Ananya watched her senior's eyes close in silent appreciation as his well defined jaw chewed delicately. Blushing on finding herself admiring him yet again, Ananya decided that the floor was very interesting to stare at.
Kabir looked at Ananya as she relished her own food. He was really surprised to see how sweet she was to him, inspite of all that had happened the day before. It didn't seem like she held anything against him. Her pure innocence made it all the more difficult for him to behave strictly & professionally with her.
A: achcha hai na? Maine kaha that the food here is amazing!
She told him happily.
K: It's nice...really...thanks.
Kabir told her.
Kabir & Ananya were embarrassed when they had scarfed down their meal in record time, however both chose not to speak about it. Instead concentrating on the bill.
K: Kitna....
Kabir began when Ananya cut him off hurriedly.
A: Sunchotumainepaytmsepaisetrasferkardiyehai!
Ananya babbled before Kabir could say anything & broke into a crazy fist pump dance. Although when Kabir shot her a look as though she were crazy, she turned beetred.
A: ( In her mind) Ye kya kiya Ananya! Excitement ke chakkar mein aone hero ke saamne izzat ka doubaara kachra kardiya! Behave yourself goddammit!
K: ( in his mind) Ekdum bachchi hai ye abhi!
Kabir thought to himself. However, it was too much fun to miss seeing those rosy red cheeks, he thought as he put on his signature smirk.
A: uh...vo..actually...mujhe yaha saari dishes ka price pata tha aur Paytm balance bhi tha....toh...aur phir aapne mere sandals ke paise diye, its only fair Kabir sir.
Ananya may have started out embarrassedly, but was staring confidently at Kabir by the end.
K: Chalein Ms Kashyap? Office bhi pohonchna hai.
He spoke to her, gesturing towards the car & Ananya nodded.
A: Ji....( to herself) Vaise bhi mujhe ek aur kaam jo karna hai.
Ananya thought to herself with a confident smirk of her own.
Just then,
B: Didi, aapne shayad galati 500 rupaye extra diye hai. Main abhi.....
The young server began, however Ananya smiled at him, ruffling his hair.
A: Jaanti hoon....vo extra paise tere liye....main jaanti hoon ki tere chacha tujhe kitna dete hai. Jaise Armaan hai mere liye, vaise hi tu.
She smiled lovingly at him before seating herself in her seat, thanking Kabir who had held the door open for her. He smiled at the scene before him. She had such a kind soul.
Ananya & Kabir were both lost in thoughts during the drive back to KKN. Ananya was surprised as to how quickly she'd gotten over her anger on Kabir for his rudeness the previous day, & how she'd been guilty when she found out she'd mistakenly questioned & challenged her hero's decision, a hero before whom the entire journalist community bowed.
Kabir was not all that bad, she admitted. He may be strict & overly professional but had a kind heart,one that cared about the other, regardless of who the person was or his/her deeds.
Kabir meanwhile stole a short glance at his junior as he drove. He couldn't deny that she was one talented journalist & that he had really enjoyed her company.This was surprising, owing to the fact that she'd nearly rebelled against him & challenged him. It irritated, but he couldn't seem to resent her.
From the day he'd seen her, after those long couple of decades, Kabir had been incapable of taking her off his mind. He doubted that she'd ever left his mind all these years, she'd always been there in a part of his heart unknowingly.
********
Evening....
' Excuse me? May I know Mr Bhatia' s room number please? '
A beautiful, perfectly manicured hand with equally perfect skin & stunning red painted nails tapped lightly on the counter where the shocked receptionist sat.
Re: R...r..room 1603, ma'am! Mr Bhatia is waiting...
The receptionist openly gawked at the gorgeous guest before her. She wondered if this was page 3 celebrity.
W: Thank you, have a good day!
The beautiful woman smiled an even prettier smile at her. The receptionist nodded vaguely aware of anything. She wasn't jealous or anything, just wondered how someone could look so magnificent.
Knocking the door of the particular room, the woman waited patiently for the door to open. Adjusting her the camera on the embellishments on her designer clutch. The door opened to reveal the trustee of Full Marks Coaching Centre.
His eyes glazed as he took in the beauty before him.
T: Wow! What a transformation! You're smoking hot! Aiyye na...ab andar bhi aiyye! Aur intezaar mat karvaiyye!
Ananya swore she would rip his tongue out if he licked his lips again.
Pulling her inside, Mr Bhatia pulled her towards him. Ananya scrunched her face in disgust as Bhatia took advantage of the hug, trailing his hands over her body. This was what the world was reduced to now! This wretched animal was older than her father & trying to take advantage of her.
Ananya mustered all her strength to hug him back with one hand while the other one deftly adjusted camera fitted clutch on the table un a way so that it could properly record each & every corner of the room.
W: Tch tch tch! You're so dead Bhatia!
She thought to herself, a predatory smile etched on her lips.
Mr B: Bhagwaaan ne kitni fursat se banaya hai aapko! Vaise aapne apna naam kya bataya tha? Haalaaki vo aapse zyaada khubsoorat toh ho nahi sakta.
He smiled at her in a way he deemed seductively but to Ananya he looked constipated. Ananya was disgusted that he couldn't respect a woman enough to remember her by her name instead of her body.
A: Naam jaankar kya karenge aap? Aapko jo karna hai, jaldi kijiye. Mujhe ghar phonch kar Sonu ke papa ka dinner tayyar karna hai. Main ye sirf apne bachche ke khatir kar rahi hoon. Majboor hoon. Varna aap jaise logo ko toh jail mein hona chahiye. Khair....main akeli aurat kya kar paaungi.
Ananya spoke in a resigned tone, cringing as the trustee made her sit on the bed.
T: Offo! Aap abtak mujhse naaraaz hai? Ek kaam karte hai...pehle mahol bana lete hai. Aap apne inn khubsoorat haatho se mere liye ek drink bana dijiye.
He purred at her, caressing her hands with his fingers making Ananya pull them away instantly.
However, Bhatia was now beginning to loose patience, for her roughly pulled her hands back, resuming his caressing while holding them tight.
T: Aapka Beta yaad hai na?
He reminded cruelly & Ananya nodded timidly, nearly on the brink of tears.
T: Drink. Now.
He commanded her, his knuckles travelling down to Ananya's neck from her cheeks.
Ananya let out a sob as she scuttled over to make the drink. Her hands trembled as she used the forceps to drop the ice cubes into the glass from the icebox & then the amber liquid.
Ananya had never felt such disgust, shame & fear before. She wanted to cry out, scream, shout, as the pathetic man kept touching her having already downed 4 shots.
Pushing Ananya aggressively on the bed, Bhatia hastily unbuttoned his shirt & slid the belt off his trousers. He nearly jumped on top of her, bringing his face closer.
Ananya screamed, now really horrified trying her best to push away the monster on top of her. Bhatia only laughed sadistically, clutching both her dainty wrists in a large palm, bringing his face even closer towards her.
Reflexly, Ananya moved her face away as alarm bells sounded deafeningly loud in her head. Maybe she should have hidden Sunny somewhere in this room, instead of outside. Suddenly, she noticed slight movement behind the long, heavy curtains. She ignored it, thinking she was just seeing things like that, due to her situation.
Before she had time to think anymore, Bhatia yanked her chin to face him & leaned in again. In an instant he doubled over with a groan as Ananya kneed him in a sensitive region.
Ananya made haste towards the door, knowing Sunny would break in anytime with the police & his camera. However, inspite of having doubled over in pain, Bhatia let out an angry growl & pulled at Ananya 's dress from behind.
A': Kamine!! Mere saath zabardasti karega! Tunhe toh main.....
A furious Ananya yanked a still growling Bhatia up, only to punch him in the face.. The audible crunch turned his growl into a groan.
Ananya made haste towards the door but te brute of a man, mad with lust attacked her from behind,whirling her around & dragging her by her hair towards the bed.
It all happened in a blur. Bhatia tugged her sleeve down her shoulder & Ananya screamed. Someone came bonding out of the curtains & pulling her away from Bhatia, behind a string firm body, just as Sunny & inspector Khuraana broke in.
Bhatia let out a string of curses as Khuraana grabbed him. In the meantime, the hard body shielding her from the despicable monster Bhatia, the one with a familiar enticing perfume, Ananya realised was actually that of her boss, the news icon Kabir Sharma.
Ananya wanted to come out, not wanting to hide behind Kabir but thought better of it seeing his clenched white fists & deep breaths that easily spoke of his anger at the moment.
T: What nonsense is this? Do you have any idea who I am? I'm Purshottam Bhatia dammit! I OWN DELHI!!!!
He snarled. A snort echoed throughout the room when the word ' Purshottam' was spoken. Ananya blushed to realise that it had been her.
Ananya couldn't see Kabir's face, but the slight twitch of his chiselled jaw told her of his smirk.
Khu: Dekhiye, filhaal toh vo khitaab inka hai!
Khuraana said, pointing to Kabir.
Khu : Inke ek ishaare par Delhi yaha se waha hojaaya karti hai. Media ka sabse powerful chehra hai ye.
A heavily sweating Bhatia gulped seeing Kabir & the way he had pushed Ananya behind himself protectively.
T: Oh...Mr...Kabir...Sharma? Aap yaha? Aur police kyu....I assure you it was consensual!
He blurted out, causing Kabir to raise a perfect eyebrow at him.
K: My vision is 20/20 Mr PURUSHOTTAM Bhatia!
Kabir spoke in a voice that clearly was strong enough to show who was in control.
K: And last time I checked, consensual ki definition vo nahi hai jo aap MERI junior ke saath kar rahe hai.
Kabir's face completely stoic, efficiently masking his rage that had been boiling his blood from within. He had this strange urge to growl & tear into Bhatia like an animal.
Ananya had now come to stand next to Kabir. Noticing her, Bhatia almost relaxed.
T: Aap bataiyye na inhe!! Maine aapke saath koi zabardasti nahi ki!
He glared menacingly at Ananya when he thought no one was looking however this time Ananya shot him a much more deadlier glare of her own, shocking him.
Khu: Maasoom aurto ke saath zabardasti karega? Unpar dabaav daalkar blackmail karega? Tujhe toh main havalaat mein dikhaata hoon!
Khuraana grabbed his collar.
A rapidly paling Bhatia, looked here & there frantically, obviously trying to find a way out of the mess that was hs own creation.
T: Inspector.....I think this is all a misunderstanding....I...
Bhatia spluttered before Ananya cut him off.
Deciding that finally it was time, Ananya came forward to stand next to Kabir.
A: Uh huh! Misunderstanding nahi Mr Bhatia, Sting operation kahiye! Ananya Kashyap! Crime reporter, KKN.
Ananya flashed her ID with a triumphant smirk.
A: Ye lijiye inspector, iss camera mein inki ek ek ghinauni baat aur harkat kaid hai.
Ananya handed inspector Khuraana the tiny camera embedded in her clutch. The trustee who looked stumped was now rapidly turning purple in rage, if that was even possible.
Suddenly, breaking out of the constable's grip, he lunged at Ananya.
Ananya looked on, gripping Kabir's bicep as her boss wrapped a strong arm around her & placed a firm hand on the trustee's chest, pushing him back with a force that sent him sprawling back in Khuraana 's arms.
Kabir towered intimidatingly over Bhatia, glowering down at him anger. Khuraana too looked a little taken aback, since he'd never seen such wild rage on his otherwise calm & composed friend ever before.
Bhatia, snarled, kicked & cursed as he was arrested & dragged away.
Without another word to Ananya, Kabir walked away & out of the room, on phone with Khalid, conversing about the camera set up for his bulletin.
Kh: Are you sure Kabir? Bulletin yaha, iss hotel mein karne ki khaas vajah?
Khalid mused.
K: You'll see Khalid.....Kabir Sharma bina plan ke kuch nahi karta. Aaj 9 baje tum samajh jaogeki mujhe yaha laana fayd-e-mand raha ya nahi.
Kabir told his colleague with a deadly confident smirk.
Kh: Oh sure! I can't wait....by the way, the set up is all done. See ya then!
With that they ended the call.
In the Suite,
S: Sun....Ananya tu ready hai?
Sunny asked Ananya as she dabbed her face with a tissue carefully. Ananya smiled & gave him a thumbs up, adjusting her earpiece & mike.
On the other hand, in KKN Malvika & Ronnie were in the PCR.
Mal: Kabir, ready to go in 5,4,3,2,1.....
K: Namashkar, KKN ki iss nayi peshkash mein, main Kabir Sharma aapka swaagat karta hoon. Aajse har raat 9 baje Khaas Khabre Kabir Sharma ke Saath mein aapka swaagat karna mera saubhagya hoga.
Aaj hum baat karenge aurto ka shoshan karne wale darindo, haivaano ke vishshay mein. Abhi aadhe ghante pehle, Full Marks Coaching Centre ke trustee aur naami businessman Purushottam Bhatia ko police ne giraftaar kar liya hai. Humaare gupt sutro ke anusaar, vo illegally students ke parents se donations ke naam par moti rakkamo ki maang karte the.
Saath hi, unhone kai students ki khubsoorat maao ko ghinaune tareeke se proposition kiya hai, ki agar ve unke saath sharirik sambandh banayengi, toh vo unke bachchon ke donations maaf karwa denge.
Humaare channel ki talented Crime journalist Ms Ananya Kashyap ne badi bahaduri se iss darinde ko police se range haatho pakadvaane ke liye ek sting operation kiya. Aiyye unse detail mein jaante hai ki unhone ye kaise kiya. Over to you Ananya.
Hearing her name from Kabir's lips, in his rich velvet baritone caused Ananya to nearly go up in flames. Her name sounded exceptionally beautiful from his lips.
A: Y....yes sir!!
Ananya replied, adjusting her earpiece before she spoke.
A: Thank you sir, ye sting operation mera aur mere experienced Senior, jaane maane news icon Kabir Sharma ka brainchild tha. Jab hum dono pati patni ke bhes mein Mr Bhatia se aaj subah coaching centre mein mile, tab unhone admission ke liye humse 50 lakh rupiyo ki maang ki.
Isi dauraan jab humaare Editor - in-cheif kuch waqt ke liye cabin se ek phone cll ki vajah se bahar gaye, tab Mr Bhatia ne mujhe bhi unn kai laachaar maao mein ek samajhkar proposition kiya. Mujhe unse milne ke liye Hotel Ravine mein bulaya.
K: Thank you, Ananya. Aage ki ghatna sunkar aapke romte khade hojaayenge. Ghinn aayegi aapko har uss shaks se jo Education ke naam par ye ashleel harqate karta ha. Sharmsaar kardene waali baat yah hai ki aaj Education ko ek suvidha sa dhandha bana diya gaya hai.
Jab humaari reporter, Ms Kashyap vaha pohnchi tab kya hua ye hum aapko ek video clip ke zariye batayenge.
Ronnie played the clip that Ananya had already forwarded him. The clip showed each & everything that happened.
A: Toh dekha aapne, kaise apne hawas aur paise ki bhook mitaane ke liye aam aadmi ka istamaal karte hai Mr Bhatia jaise log.
K: Aiyye baat karte hai iss case ke incharge Inspector Arun Khuraana se. Aapka humaare naye show mein tahe dil se swaagat hai Inspector Khuraana.
Ananya handed the mike to Khuraana who was waiting nearby.
Khu: Thank you Kabir. Aapki junior Ms Ananya Kashyap ne police ko pehle hi Mr Bhatia ke khilaaf saare saboot de diye hai. Police ne unhe range haatho Ananyaji par zabardasti karte hue pakda hai. Main janta ko bata doon ki Mr Kabir Sharma iss ghatna ke chashmadeet gavah hai aur vo aur Ananyaji hume pehle hi apna bayan de chuke hai.
A: Thank you inspector Khuraana, over to you sir!
Ananya concluded.
K: Thank you Ananya....isi ke saath hum lenge ek chota sa break. Break ke baad, hum charcha karenge kuch aur sansanikhes khabro par.
" Ms Kashyap!"
Ananya jumped out of her dreamy thoughts about Kabir's flawless news anchoring hearing his voice. As smooth & wonderful it sounded, Ananya detected hints of anger in it.
K: I'd like see you in my cabin as soon as we reach KKN, please.
He was curt & very professional but there was a hint of admiration too in his tone, inspite if his anger.
*******
KKN Office:
Ri: Ananya! My godddd!!! You were spectacular! Kabir sir teri job tujhe de hi denge dekhna! Achcha sunn....Ronnie abhi bhi PCR mein hai, tere liye wait kar raha tha. Mil le ja! By the way, Congratulations again yaaar!
Richa exclaimed, pulling her best friend in a hug. She was so happy for Ananya.
T: OMGIEEEE! Ananya you look hott! Office ke poore male population ki saasein upar neeche horahi hai tujhe dekhkar!!!
Trisha squealed excitedly, nearly jumping up & down.
T: vo dekh! Kabir dir bhi tere husn ke shikaar hogaye! Tujhe hi dekhrahe hai! Dekh dekh!!!!
She pointed to the glass door of their Editor - in-cheif 's cabin through which Kabir looked directly at Ananya. His intense gaze pinning her in place.
K: Ms Kashyap, step inside....
He ordered quietly as he stood just the door of his cabin before turning & walking right back.
T: Ja ja ja! Kahi dinner ke liye toh nahi puchenge?
Trisha wiggled her eyebrows teasingly making Richa & Ananya roll their eyes.
A: Yes sir......
She nodded, walking towards his cabin.
Ananya stood before Kabir who was seemingly engrossed in a file.
A: Sir, aapne bulaya? Actually mujhe bhi aapse kuch kehna tha.....
Ananya's sweet voice served to make Kabir's thoughts less violent. He was just about to brutally murder Purushottam Bhatia in his mind. He had been a raging mess ever since that wretched old man put his hands on Ananya. Not knowing why he was so affected had simply added to his anger.
K: Go ahead.....
He told her without looking up from the file or his face sheild rather
A: Thank you sir.
She told him almost timidly sensing his stiff posture.
At this, Kabir closed his file & look up to take a good look at her.
K: Mujhe lagta tha tummein spark hai. Lekin ab shak horaha hai. What were you thinking dammit? Iss locked kamre mein uss bhediye ke saath akeli aagayi? Agar usne tumhe kuch.....forget it!!!
He hissed angrily, marching away from her to face the window. When Ananya remained silent, Kabir turned to look at her. There she stood, looking so utterly gorgeous that he'd lost his breath when he'd first seen her enter the room, from his hiding spot behind the curtains in the suite. If her innocent loveliness that morning had enchanted him, then her classy, sexy avatar that evening had blown him away.,
However, she seemed so sad with her face lowered & those long, beautiful lashes against her cheek. Kabir nearly gave in when those innocent hazel eyes bore into his before Ananya lowered them as if ashamed.
K: Resignation letter aap phadengi ya would you rather me do the honours?
He asked her suddenly & huskily, his baritone as smooth as rich silk.
Ananya's head snapped up at his voice & she out a gasp of sheer delight before her eyes shone with happiness. She blushed when she realised how close he was standing to her.
A: Sachchi???? Iska matlab.....?OH. MY. GOD!!!
Ananya squealed happily.
Kabir nodded, smiling at her delight.
K: Bang on Ms Kashyap! I do give credit where deserved. This sting operation was perfection. Par aage se apni safety ki fikra bhi kiya kijiye. KKN se pehle aap khud ke liye zimmedaar hai.
He told her sternly. He however was really impressed by her work. Finally someone who could bring in breaking news of calibre, of the high standards he'd set.
Kabir smirked at his bouncing junior, though he flushed a very faint pink at her last statement.
K: Tell me about it...
He drawled teasingly, simply unable to resist. Ananya pouted & looked away.
Kabir Sharma was an enigma. From the rosy cheeked, button eyed baby to the lean, strapping teen & now years later this greek god of a man who was her boss.
Her best friend seemed so different from the charismatic Editor - in-cheif he'd become. Were they the same?
Both hadn't been able to give a proper reply to their families. Something stopped them from declining the alliance. Only if they could place a finger on it.
Kabir & Ananya found themselves engaged in a myriad of emotions not knowing what to do about the seriously strong feelings both seemed to awaken in each other's hearts already.
TBC
