Part 19

Finishing off his meeting with his lawyer, Kabir checked his watch, mentally kicking himself for being late to reach back home, as Mr. Mehta is throwing a party on successful completion of their hospital project…& a successful press launch earlier in the day…For weeks they had been working hard for it, he was glad that everything went on smoothly & inauguration happened as schedule, all the hard work was worth it…including dealing with Poor boy “Niks”, whom he is still trying to figure out why he cant leave his Ananya alone for once, so he can have a time together & he can share what he wanted to all along its been almost a week & he is not getting chance to talk…reminding of Ananya, he hurried out winding his work, knowing if he delays anymore, he will have it from Ananya…already she has called him twice to remind about the party…& she already left with Di & jiju…not before reminding him, that she is angry, she is not talking to him as he is late…but Kabir smiled to himself, he knows, she cant stay angry with him for long…especially, when he will tell Ananya his reason for being late…she will be happiest…afterall, he will be including her in most important aspect of his life…& he can imagine her happiness, the excitement & glow on her face when he will let her know, how he feels about her!!

Kabir entered into the warm and joyful atmosphere…Light music is heard playing from the far side…& instantly he looked out for Ananya & for a moment he forgot to breathe…his wife, made a pretty picture in her b’ful peach saree, this is second time she is wearing one…& just took his senses all over again, how b’ful she looked…standing beside a marble statue smiling gracefully….He feels his heart skip a beat on the sight of her…He watched her still very bewildered, as she pushes back a strand of hair from her eye and continue to smile and laugh splendidly…. He sighed to himself, once again with “Poor boy” Niks…sometimes he wonders what these two have so much to chat about…

Ananya had seen Kabir arrive, looking irresistibly dashing in a classy black suit, silk black shirt underneath… she felt completely aware of herself in an instant and her cheeks had turn a rosy pink…but she was still angry on him, for being late…so she pretended not to notice her husband’s distracting presence…

++++++

Kabir shook his head at Ananya’s antics, how she is trying to ignore him…since past half an hour, & not giving him chance to apologize for being late…before she cud walk away the fourth time he held her holding her wrist…
Kabir—Stop being childish Ananya, ….now, how many times, you want me to say Sorry, for being just an hour late…
Ananya (rolled her eyes)—childish…Me, really??aap sorry kaha keh rahe…aap toh mera mazaak uda rahe hai…galti aapki, late aap hai…& Bachi mein hogayi…
Kabir—I didn’t meant that…tum (Ananya turned to leave …Kabir blocked her way not allowing her to leave) waise did I tell you (moved closer as if revealing a big secret) you are not looking b’ful…. (Ananya gaped at him) coz you look b’ful when you Smile…& I am sorry, for not making you smile (teased) as I know, you smile only when I am around… (Ananya shook her head smiling, its so tough to remain angry from him) see, the smile is back… now, its more than better… as I happen to be reason of your smile…

She was about to reply him back, pretending to be still angry, but cudn’t resist smiling, seeing Kabir asking Sorry again & again…they were interrupted as Mr.Mehta called upon both of them for official celebrations—Ananya proudly looked at her husband…as Mr. Mehta went on praising Kabir…for successful completion of the project…& he wud love to work with him in future…

Ananya just shook her head…how effortlessly, he cud make her smile, she had hated making entry at the party all alone, & she had been pissed off at Kabir…but just one glance at him & all her anger & irritation was out of the window… the mere softness in his eyes could melt her heart…& he didn’t even had to apologize too…

As the party progressed, Kabir turned to glance at his wife, recalling the look in her eyes, he find every time she gazes at him…he could feel himself drowning- but he liked it….He wanted to drown. He wanted to feel the emotion that he saw in her eyes….there was something there, his heart told him….& if its called “Love”…then he is ready to accept it…Kabir smiled to himself…realizing that, mere accepting to himself that he was in love had been the most liberating for him… He could now come to terms why he wanted to be with Ananya all the time…gradually as he understood her, she managed to make a place for herself in his heart…he fell in love with her simplicity…& this immense and pure emotion that he had for her, he had never felt for someone else.

Kabir looked at Ananya… wanting to talk to her alone…the night was going so well, that he couldn’t think of a better time to tell her how he felt about her…he wanted to tell her everything that was in his heart…Even in the middle of the room, he felt it was just the two of them…pulling her closer as he slipped his arm around her waist….He leaned in to whisper in her ear.

Kabir –Ananya…I wanted to say…

She looked up at him curiously…Kabir smiled, taking a deep breathe, he was about to say something…but before he could speak he felt someone tapping on his shoulder….
Shekhar (amused)—Sorry to interrupt, but Mr. Mehta looking for you…Press wants to talk to both of you…

Kabir knew he would have to tell her sometime…all he needed was a chance alone with her….He left with Shekhar, hoping that later this evening he would have the opportunity to tell her what was in his heart….

+++++++

Kabir was really curious to know, what the trio Di-Ananya & Niks…were talking about in other corner…but more than anything he was impatient to talk to Ananya…and for some reason he wasn’t getting a chance to talk with her…as soon as he saw Di & Niks leaving Ananya alone…he took quick strides towards Ananya….surprising her by grabbing her elbow…moving towards a corner, not before making sure, nobody was walking in their direction….realising coast was clear as far as he could tell…. Slipping his arm around her waist, pulling her closer taking her by surprise….
Kabir (sighed)--Now that we have a minute alone….I’ve been wanting to tell you something….

Ananya surprisingly looked in his eyes, she cud make out…he wanted to say something & she knew that it was something good…Just the feeling of being in his arms was making her toes tingle…Suddenly, it was as if the music and the people in the hall disappeared and she could only see and hear only him…She could feel his heart beat as he pulled her against him….as Kabir’s dark eyes burned in hers….

Kabir– I… I don’t know how to begin….(Ananya couldn’t help but stare at him) I want to tell you that ….

He paused, realizing he didn’t know how to say it….It sounded so easy in his mind- so freeflowing, but now it seemed so impossible….Taking a deep breath he was about to say something, when he was interrupted by his cell ringing…with Madhu Di, informing…she is going back home as she is feeling tired…but someone from their company needs to stay back so he & Ananya can come back later…

Kabir silently sighed, wondering why all these damn interruptions were brought upon him at the same time. Couldn’t he get a minute alone with his wife…

+++++++++

The house was quiet when Kabir Ananya returned back, as it had been quite late by the time party winded up…before Ananya cud rush to change & retire for night….Kabir glanced at Aryan dozing off peacefully…realizing he was asleep, as was the rest of the household, and now nobody could stop him from telling her… he stopped her…

Kabir– I just… I mean I wanted to tell you… Its just that something been on my mind…I (engulfing her petite palm and looked into her eyes) what I have been wanting to say was that (moving the strand of hair that had fallen in front of her face, behind her ear) I know …I havent had a chance all night to talk to you… and now that we are finally alone, I just…. I wanted to say that….

Before he cud say anything further…he heard an excited “Paa” Kabir laughed at his luck, realizing that he really had no chance alone with Ananya today….Aryan stood in his crib with her arms up…among all the interruptions he had this was the cutest) –Why are you up, boy?

Kissed his cheeks…making Aryan giggle& patting his cheeks, showing that he was now wide awake and ready to play…

Aryan (pointing to his toys)–Paayyyyy

Kabir (Laughed)—Play….abhi??…No… its so late….Its neenee time…

Aryan pouted, Ananya giggled seeing Kabir in a fix ….

Ananya (smiled)—Ok, Kiddo Come here, let Mama read you a story.

Aryan went to her arms excitedly hoping he would get to play now….as Ananya had been his playmate everytime… Kabir smiled at the sight, Ananya excitedly telling Aryan a story…by making faces… shaking his head he smiled and went to change his clothes….by time he came out, Ananya was almost on her second story yawning herself….but the energetic kid a was still wide awake…squealing as he covered his face with blanket, then pulled it down laughing…playing hide & seek…

Ananya (yawned)–I don’t know where he gets so much energy from…

Kabir (smiled)—guess, I should take him for a walk downstairs…maybe that will put him to sleep.”

Kabir paced around the house with Aryan resting his head on his shoulder…patted him to sleep, hoping boy will doze off…

Kabir (talking to him)—Sorry kiddo… didn’t get to tell your Mama today how much I love her. I tried to tell her (laughing himself) I really, really did…. You know how much I do, don’t you? I love her with all my heart…promise will soon tell her( kissing the top of his head softly)…. I promise…

It was almost after good 20 mins, when Aryan fell asleep again…settling him down back in his crib…he tucked her …kissing him goodnight smiled “Maybe now I can tell your Mama…” Kabir turned around to see Ananya sound asleep…clutching his pillow…making him smile more at his luck…Guess he will have to wait a little more…making him wonder when he would finally get to tell Ananya his true feelings. He hoped it would be soon.

+++++++++

Kabir woke up to constant knocking next morning…making him stumble towards the door, feeling grumpy and tired enough to snap at the person who disturbed his well needed sleep by persistent knocking…he was all prepared to yell the person who was knocking…but he was surprised to see Shekhar standing there with serious expression making him confuse all the more…before he cud question about his sudden appearance…Shekhar passed him on the newspaper, pointed to the article…

It took matter of seconds for all sleep to vanish & anger to take over…as he read the headlines

“Yet Another Failed Marriage for Kabir Sharma?”

It was accompanied by a pic from previous night party… Ananya dancing with Niks, it might be before Kabir had arrived at the party…pic was accompanied by a brief article, about how it was Kabir & Ananya making a separate entry at the party…& how often Ananya & Niks have been spotted together…Kabir’s anger knew no bounds as he crumpled the paper…

Kabir (furious)—who did this?? (Realising his shouting will wake Ananya up, he moved outside his room shutting the door behind) I don’t care if they want to ruin my name….Let them drag my name all over the place, but bringing my wife into it? (tossing the crumpled newspaper aside) its something I cannot & will not tolerate….(pissed off he walked off).
