Hi friends… Once again Anci here with another part…
Hope you like it… Good or bad please do comment…
And thank you all for your wonderful support… It really encourage me to post a part daily…

Let’s get into the story…

Scene – 30:
Gauri: (Suddenly something struck her mind and she pushed him with all force, making him to stumble a little.) What the hell KB…?
Krishna: What…? Now what got in you and you’re yelling like this devil..?
Gauri: (Huffing.) Tujhe ab pata chal jaega… (And took a stick which was near her.) Run for you dear life Mister…
There started the “chase me” game. All were baffled with the happenings.
Krishna: Arre… Meri sasu maa… Tujhe hua kya hai…?
Gauri: Muje…? Muje nahi, tujhe kuch hua hai… How dare you KB…?
Krishna: Arre… Maine kya kiya…?
Gauri: (Came to a halt, and said huffing.) How did that bandar land here…?
Krishna: Bandar…? (Realization struck him.) Listen… I swear… I’m innocent…
Gauri: Oh really…?
Krishna: Babu trust me… I’m innocent in this matter…
Gauri: (Shouted completely screwed up.) Then how the hell did he land here…?
Krishna: Arre… Use din galatee se mainne use bataaya… (And bit his tongue realizing his stupidity of spilling the beans.)
Gauri: Now as usual you’ll serve me for a year… No… Buy one and get one free… You’ll serve me for two years, as penalty…
Krishna: That’s not fare…
Gauri: Fine… Buy two…
Krishna: (Cut her off.) NO… I’m at your service… (In a single breath.)
Gauri: (Gave him a victory smile.) Good boy… (Patted his cheek.)
Krishna: (Made faces.)
Gauri: Now off to kitchen… (And pointed towards kitchen.)
Krishna: Okay… (And walked with head hung low.)
Gauri: (Laughed out.) Oh my God… KB, why don’t you fight with me… Pagal… Arre Sankar ji… Aapna kya soch kar banaaya use…?
Turning towards the rest,
Gauri: Sorry… Please don’t think we’re cracks… As we’re totally crack case… Without any doubt… (With a lovely smile adoring her face.)
All smiled at her words.
Anjali: But who is the ‘bandar’ you was speaking about…?
Gauri: Poochho mat… Vah ek pareshaanee hai…
Anjali: …?

Gauri: One of our class mate, who is behind me since school days… Not ready to accept that I has zero interest on him… It is really a headache yaar… And this idiot, let him know about my whereabouts when he met him and he came to me and started irritating me…
Anjali: Oh… But what was that, “serve you as usual”…?
Gauri: Yes… This fool would always does something that I end up making him my assistant… And I really want to make one thing clear to you… Please don’t take me wrong…
Anjali: Gauri di… Why are you being so formal…? You’re Krishna’s friend, which makes us bonded to each other…
Gauri: (Smiled.) Ok… But still I would like to say you that please don’t take our relationship wrongly… We’re bound to be like this… We are…
Anjali: Gauri di…
Gauri: No Anjali… Listen to me… I had heard enough of ill words on our relationship… But neither had I cared for it nor him… But your single glance of distrust on him will break him… He’ll not be less than any object…
Anjali: Di… I understand…
Gauri: (Holding her hand.) Dear… Understanding is one thing and accepting and living the truth is other thing… It is easy to understand… But accepting is as difficult as letting go of your dear life… I just want you to understand and accept… Even if you can’t, no offence… (Tears overflowing from her eyes) I’ll do something that he stays away from me, but…
Anjali: (Cutting her off.) Di please…
Gauri: (Closed her eyes tight, letting go of tears and pain.)
Anjali: (Wiped her tears and wiped Gauri’s tears.)
Gauri: (Opened her eyes and smiled with tears.)
Before she speak a word,
Krishna: (From inside.) Oh… Maharani ji… Krpaya yahaan aaye…
Gauri: Haan… (And rushed in.)
Anjali: (Was mixed with emotions.)
Anika: What is it dear…?

Anjali: (Just hugged her without a word.)
Anika: (Understood her inner turmoil and comforted her.)
Anika: (Turned to Sammy and shared a painful eye-lock.)
Arjun: Doll…
Anjali: (Broke the hug and turned around to see Arjun.)
Arjun: What is it bacha…? Is it that you don’t trust…?
Anjali: No Ajju bhai… It is not that I don’t trust… It is just that I fear what if I hurt him out of emotions and lose him for life time… I can’t afford that… Never… (Tears started flowing from her eyes.)
Voice: (From behind.) Then stop worrying about tomorrow…
Everyone turned to the same direction. It was Krishna, with Gauri beside him.
Krishna: Stop killing your today thinking about your tomorrow… Both today and tomorrow will be lost forever… (With a smile.)
Anjali: (Without a word or second thought hugged him tight burying her head in his chest.)
Krishna: (Smiled and hugged her back.)
Both had a pleasant smile on their faces. And their trance was broken by group of clearing throat sound.
Anjali: Oh come on guys… Stop being a bone… (And again hugged Krishna.)
All her brother’s mouth was hung open. And girl’s laughed out at their expressions.

Scene – 31:
Restaurant,
All planned to dine together and reached the nearby restaurant. It was an open restaurant.
Girls were chatting and laughing. Guys were discussing work. But two souls were void with all the happenings. (Any guesses…?)
The two souls who just met few minutes back was lost deeply in each other’s thoughts. (Did anyone expect it to be Om and Gauri…? If so, I’m so sorry… It is someone else…)
Haider: (Thinking.) What is she doing here…? Why she seems to be changed but still the same…? What would have happened…? Hold on… But why am I thinking so much… Urgh… Haider, you really want some treatment…
At a corner of the restaurant,
Unknown lady: Six years… Six long years… It had been six long years Haider… But you’re still unchanged… The same handsome young man… Do you still move around flirting…? If so it is high time you get committed… (A smile adored her face with a layer of tears as her thoughts were filled with him.)
Kids were running and playing around. Playing they reached near the unknown lady.
Anya: (Noticed the unknown lady and walked to her.) Aunty…
Unknown lady: (Turned to see none and on hearing the voice again lowered her gaze to find the little girl.) (She went on her knees in front of her.) Yes baby… Who are you…? Where are your parents…?
Anya: (Didn’t answer. She was just looking at water bottle.)
Unknown lady: (Followed her gaze and found her staring at water.) Do you want to have some water baby…?
Anya: (Nodded her head yes.)
Unknown lady: (Lifted her in her arms and placed her on table and made her drink water.)
Meanwhile, Ansh reached Anika.
Anika: (On not finding Anya.) Ansh… Where is Anya…?
Ansh: (Turned around and saw in every directions.)
Anika: Ansh…
Ansh: Mamma… She ws playing wit me mamma… (She was playing with me mamma…)
Now everyone was tensed and was searching Anya.

Haider: (He went searching of Anya and reached where the unknown lady was. He found Anya with her. He ran and took Anya in his arms and cuddled her tight. Looking at the lady.) How dare you touch my daughter…?
Unknown lady: (Her world was shaken on hearing the word daughter.)
Almost everyone reached there hearing his scream.
Anika: (Came forward and took Anya in her embrace.)
Haider: I’m asking you damn it…
Unknown lady: Stop shouting…
Haider: (Was hell angry by now. And pulled her towards him holding her shoulders tight.) Don’t you dare test my patience…?
Unknown lady: (Pushed him with all her might.) (Screamed.) Enough… Mr. Haider Ali Khan… Just enough… Learn to learn the situations and happenings and then react…
Haider: (Was huffing in anger.)
Unknown lady: (Walked to Anya. Kissed her forehead.) Bye baby… Take care… And from next time no roaming around without mamma… Okay…?
Anya: (Bobbed her head yes.)
Unknown lady: (Smiled and walked off, after throwing draggers at Haider.)
Radzie: Buddy… Who is she…? And why you reacted in such a way…?
Anika: I think, Radzie asked you something Haider…
Haider: Nothing… Just forget it guys… It is of no worth… (And walked off.)
Neil: Now what had happened to him…?
Om: Guys… Trust me… If this is going to be the situation, then I’m going to get mad soon…
Radzie: Me too…
Neil & Anika: Me three…
In spite of all tensions and confusions, all laughed out.
Anika: We need to find out what is bothering him… He really needs our support…
Om: There are many things to bother our life… It is just necessary to let go… For that it is necessary to open up… Instead of killing oneself…
Anika & Sammy: (Understood the underlying meaning. They also know it was meant for them.)
Arjun: What are you even saying Om… None is going to even think about your words… They are stubborn heads… It is impossible to make them understand…
Arjun walked off. Om followed him. Neil and Radzie joined them. Anjali and Gauri followed them. Krishna realizing, it is high time for them to understand and express, he too walked off, following the rest. Now it was only Anika, Sammy and Shivaay left.
Sammy: I’ll be right back Ani… (To waiter.) Where is the washroom…?
She walked in the direction shown.
Anika: (Was about to leave.)
Shiv: Anika…
Anika: (Stood at her point, but didn’t turn to face him.)
Shiv: (Walked to her and stood beside her.) Would like to have a word with you… Will you…?
Anika: If it is about the years old story… Then I don’t have anything to say… It is high time you forget and move on…
Shiv: (Smiled a weak one.) Move on…? Yeah… You’re right… I should move on… Thank you for making me realize… (And walked off.) (He had tears brimming in his eyes.)
Anika: (She cried closing her mouth.)
Few minutes later, all were travelling back to home. All the minds were preoccupied.
Ansh and Anya were fast asleep.
They reached Anika’s home.
Anika: (To guys.) It is too late… Please stay back tonight…
Before anyone could say,
Shiv: Guys I’m going home… You can join me if you want… I’ll wait near the car… (And walked off from the place.)
Left out with no other option,
Arjun: It’s okay Anika… We’ll leave… Take care ladies…
And the guys walked off and drove off. Even Krishna left in his vehicle, with Gauri.
It was only ladies now. They silently walked in. It was really a hard day. All went straight to bed without a word.
But sleep was nowhere near to anyone. The night passed away with their own thoughts. When sleep took over them none knew.

Lots of Love,
Anci
