AT COLLEGE
Abhijit was determined to know about tarika's feelings but could not able to find the way to do so .when he took lecture ,he saw tarika was a bit upset ,and he knew the the real cause. He felt really bad for her but he could not help it .to get sure about his anticipation he decided to talk to kritika. It was afternoon,tarika was not with kritika as she had to take some notes from a professor .Abhi approached kritika and
ABHI:- Aaa ,kritika,if you are not busy,then can we have a talk?
KRITIKA:-Sure sir,kahiye aapko kya baat krni hai?kahin aap tarika ko to nhi dhundh rhe?(said in a more matter of fact tone)
ABHI:- Nahi nahi,mujhe tumse hi baat krni hai..tarika se nhi. kya hum lobby me chalkar baat kren..?
KRITIKA:- ( she was suspecting something but did not reacted),okk sir,chaliye.
They went to lobby and Abhi initiated the convo:
ABHI:- Kritika,Aap to tarika ki best friend hai n ..usne bataya hai ki aap log childhood se sath hai to iska mtlb to ye hua ki aap to uske baare me sb janti hongi.?
KRITIKA:-g sir,mujhe uske baare me hr baat pta hai.(confidently)Lekin aap ye sb kyu puchh rhe hai?(said suspiciously)
ABHI:-Dekho mai ghuma phira kr baat nhi krna chahta ,mujhe bs itna bta do ki kya tarika kisi ko pasand krti hai?(looking straight into her eyes)
KRITIKA:- ( She got damn surprised) kya ,ye... ye kya kah rhe hai sir aap...?I mean aap kyu?ye sb ?(stammering badly)
ABHI:- Jitna puchha hai utna batao. mai janta hun tumhe sb pta hai .wo tumse hr baat share krti hai.( Said in a serious tone)
KRITIKA:- ( in a bit hesitation)Ha sir, krti hai wo hr baat share,aur ye bhi sach hai ki she loves someone...( Her heart was pounding )
ABHI:- Who is that?(now he impatiently wanted to know )
Kritika was totally silent at that moment. she did not know what to say,how to say?How would she be able to face her friend?how would she react after knowing it?Ohh ,she was in dilemma and she was not able to find any way to get out of this.
ABHI:-( A bit loudly )I asked you something kritika ...Kon hai wo.. just speak up..
KRITIKA:(In a scary tone) ,but sir aap kyu janna chahte hain ye sb?
ABHI:- Plz ,don' t argue with me this moment.I just want to know and you will have to tell me .Achha ...to tum aise nhi bataogi,to theek hai tumhe tarika ki kasam,batao mujhe kon hai wo?
KRITIKA:- ( now she cannot do anything except to tell the truth) ,sir ,wo aapse pyaar krti hai. aaj se nhi,balki tb se jb aapko pahli bar dekha tha ,tbhi se use aap pasand hain.( She said in a one go,while controlling her breath)
Abhi became silent .so his anticipation was true. she loves him. That is why she always cared for him. that was the reason she always tried to know more and more thing about him. sometime later , after composing himself:
ABHI:- Hmmm,thank you kritika,...(He was about to go but then he turned back...)
Ek bat aur,tarika se kuchh mt kahna jo bhi hamare bich baat huyi aaj .apna dhyan rakho and study well.( He put a hand on her left shoulder and patted in a gentle manner .then he went out of there without waiting for reply from her side)
To their bad luck,tarika saw them. she felt something fishy and she asked about it to kritika too .In reply kritika said that she had some problem in a topic ,that is why she discussed it with him. tarika was not satisfied ,but she could not suspect on her friend cum sister. so ,she thought it better to leave the topic.
With this they took their other lectures and headed towards their home.
AT ABHI'S HOME
He was sitting on sofa .He was absent .He was recapitulating incidents happened within this month .How did he met with tarika?how he fell for her .?how he tried his best to keep himself away from her but destiny and sometimes his heart too,never let him succeed .till today,He was believing that she does everything due to her caring ,impassionate nature, but for her,He had been always special.
HIS POV( To mera shak theek tha. wo mujhe chahti hai. ek tarah se dekha jaye to mujhe khush hona chahiye ki jise mai pyaar krta hun wo bhi mujhse pyaar krti hai. pyaar pura hone ke liye yhi to sbse jaruri hota hai, lekin mai khush nhi ho skta hamare pyaar ke liye hamara dur rahna hi jaruri hai ,agr hum karib aaye to tarika ke liye theek nhi hoga. Is mission pr to meri jaan ka bharosa nhi hai use khud se jodkar jindagi bhar ki takleef kaise de skta hun ?Abhi khud ko rok lunga to wo mujhe kuchh time bad bhul jayegi aur jindagi me aage badh jayegi,warna meri hisse ki takleefen bhi use hi jhelni hongi .wo masoom hai,wo bahut achhi jindagi deserve krti hai. Mai.. mai ek C.I.D. wala jiski jindagi aaj hai aur kal nhi..mai use deserve hi nhi krta .kal tour pr wo jane wali .mai ..mai waha waha usse puri duri banakar rakhunga aur sirf apne mission pr dhyan dunga. wo mujhe interested nhi dekhegi to khud hi alag ho jayegi.
It became 5:00 pm and it was time of tarika's arrival. she came at 5:15 pm and abhi taught her. It was her last class today as as exams were near ,hence abhi suggested her to study at home.(well it was not the real reason)that day ,abhi did not talk to her informally .He kept maintaining his professional tone .she thought that abhi is angry about yesterday's incident .so she did not react but abhi's behaviour was hurting her and it was cleared by her face but she was trying hard to hide it. abhi too noticed that she was hurt by his behaviour but he could not help but to hurt her more.
That day he did not ask her to have something .He did not drop her to home. he did not even call her to confirm about her arrival as it was his routine when she went home alone.
She shared everything with kritika and kritika suggested her to keep calm and wait for the right moment to express her feelings .It was kritika who was continously supporting her.
ON THE DAY OF TOUR.
They were going GOA by train .students were delighted and want to go wild but they have to maintain some decorum .,professors were also seemed in good mood. they were gossiping with the students ,playing games with their counterparts and sometimes,they were also showing their antics and students were laughing on their peculiar styles.
All were enjoying,but tarika's face was not radiant .she was not in jolly mood .She was upset .Something was bothering her. reason was absolutely abhi's ignorance towards her ,since they started their journey,Abhi did not even tried to talk to her .All the time He was surrounded by the other girls and boys .He was laughing with them. Their endless gossiping. at the start of the journey,tarika tried to talk to him,but he completely ignored her..She did not dare to try again to talk with him as she was now well aware of his mood.
HER POV(Kyu kr rhe hai aap abhinav sir aisa?Akhir aisi kya galti ho gyi hai mujhse?Kya mera aapse wo sb puchhna aapko itna bura lag gya ki us din se aapne mujhse baat krna hi chhod diya . teen din ho gye hai but aapne sidhe muh baat tak nhi ki hai.
Kya aapko meri takleef samjh nhi aa rhi ya phir aap chahkr bhi samajhna nhi chahte. socha tha ki jb hum tour pr jayenge to jyada se jyada time aapke sath spend krungi lekin nhi aap to shayd ab mujhse baat hi nhi krna chahte.
Dil chahta hai aapse abhi sb kuchh kah dun sbke samne .lekin kritika ki wajah se kuchh nhi kr rahi .usne hi mujhe apne birthday tak wait krne ke liye kaha hai aur mai uski baat nhi taal skti .Pta nhi 2 din mai kaise aapki ye narazgi bardasht krungi)
On the other side,Abhi was enjoying with other students but it was just an act. He was not happy at all. He knew that how much he was hurting her..
HIS POV:( Janta hun tarika ,tum yhi soch rhi hogi n ki mai kyu aisa kr rha hun?kyu tumse itna naaraz hun?lekin kya krun yhi tumhare liye theek hai...
Mai janta hun tum mere sath time spend krna chah rhi ho is tour pr. But mai tumhaRi ye khwaish puri nhi kr skta .jb bhi tum mere sath hoti ho ,mera dimag kaam krna hi band kr deta hai aur phir hamare baare me sochna shuru kr deta selfish nhi ho skta. is waqt Apni khushi ke liye n to desh ki shaan pr koi khatra paida kr skta hun ,n tumhari jaan pr)
With this ,he placed these thoughts aside and again got busy in his acting.
They started their journey in the the morning and reached hotel in the evening . there were Around 12 hours train took from Bengaluru to GOA. The hotel was lavish. All were mesmerized with its architecture .There was coconut trees around the hotel .All were wondering that if the only hotel is that much mesmerizing ,then how would be the entire Goa look like?After reaching Hotel ,tarika's mood got a bit changed .She was also one of them,who got infulenced by the hotel's surrounding .she was feeling bit relaxed there .kritika also got happy after seeing her friend's improved condition.
GOA was not new for Abhi. it has been His favourite place to visit with Daya whenever they got a break from their hectic schedules .He finds Goa a relaxing ,calming place. He knew almost all the places here .GOA's ,seas ,sand ,banks ,,everything attract him .
Boys and girls were alloted different rooms .professors were on the same wing.2 students have to share same room. as expected ,kritika and tarika were roommates for the tour. there was no as such special progaramme for night except camp fire. In order to execute their program,they have to collect raw material from the forest .As it was was night,it was a risky task but at same time ,it become more and more adventurous. Guide told students and professors to be cautious as there are risks to get slipped from elevation. In Goa , laterait soil is found,and when it rains ,it becomes more and more difficult to climb a area that is on height.
All were in groups with their friends .As expected some of the propessors started to tell students about botony .Students were least interested to even hear it. Here our abhi , was very much engrossed telling students about his experience in GOA. He shared many valuable things about GOA with them .Students were enjoying his company .while explaning he occasionally took side glances at tarika .there came a time,when tarika and abhi got left behind their groups . she was silently collecting dry twigs .Abhi was silently walking behind her.
Though he did not want to talk with her ,but sometimes you do things under the control of emotions .He initiated:
Abhi:- To kaisi lagi tumhe ye jagah?( Said with difficulty)
She got surprised at his sudden question as she was not expecting him to talk to her.
"Goa ko bhi koi bura kah skta hai kya"( she said as she wanted him to tell that he asked a silly question)
"Mujhe to bahut hi jyaada pasand hai Goa,main to bahut baar aaya hun yaha apne friends ke sath"(tried to make her mood light)
"Mai to first time hi aayi hun yaha pr,Pahle to bs suna tha"( said coldly)
"Ek baat puchhun?( Abhi asked hesitantly)
"Yes sir,puchhiye n.."(said planly)
"Mai dekh pa rha hun ki tum utna enjoy nhi kr rhi ho yaha akar jitna aur sb students kr rhe hai..kya baat hai"kaka to theek hai n?(he cursed himself for his stupid question,he knew the reason behind everything but he could not able to stop his acting,but somewhere in his heart ,he wanted her to confess that she was missing his company,she wants his company)
TARIKA:- No sir,aisi koi baat nhi hai .mai bahut bahut enjoy kr rhi hun.(to divert the direction of convo),sir I think hame thoda jaldi krna chahiye. baaton baaton me pichhe rah gye hum dono .maine suna hai yaha akele rahna khatre se khali nhi hai.(and she started to move fastly)
Abhi did not say anything and started to follow her. he was actually enjoying her frustration that moment ,he was going through some strange emotions at the same time.
HE THOUGHT:(uuff ye kon kahega ,is masoom se chehre wali ladki ko itna gussa aata hai .kuchh bhi ho lagti bahut pyaari hai...dil to krta hai..nhi nhi mai ye kya soch rha hun.
Kyu bhai ,ab kya dil me bhi sochne se use khatra ho jayega. bahar se to tum kuchh show nhi kr rhe n.
Shukar manao tarika,mai mission pr hun aur tumhare karib nhi aa skta warna ye raat ka safar mai bahut hi khubsurat bna deta tumahre liye.{he chuckled at his own statement}
Waise ek baat to maine aaj soch li pure din me,mai is mission ke baad tumse shadi kr lunga.I hope tum mujhe is behaviour ke liye maaf kr dogi tb)
As he was thinking about this,Tarika slipped from elevated area and started to crawling down. in the process ,she collided hard with him and made him also to loose his balance .as it was a sudden incident that he did not find any way to rescue themselves .He plunged into the ditch followed by tarika .In the process,they got completely wraped with red soil mud. He was beneath her .She took support of his chest by placing her delicate hands on it . she was just got busy in admiring his muddy hairs,His wet chest sticking shirt,his nervous breathing,his shy and confused eyes,ohh!everything was beautiful. That scene was much more romentic than a beautifully decorated place.
Abhi did not loose his senses completely .though he was still there .He did not dare to make any move as he knew the consequences .It was becoming hard for him to reamain in the same position as he did not have any support to take in that conjusted ditch. For a moment ,he thought to take support by wrapping his hand around her waist but no ,he could not do that ,he thought ,she was earlier angry on him and this act of his ,can be resulted into a hard slap from her side. he decided to remain unmoving ,he started observing her .That muddy red soil on on her face making her beautiful to the death .He was trying hard in resisting himself ,he knew that ,he could loose his senses anytime .When he looked into her eyes,it seemed that they are not in any kind of hurry .It looked like ,Now they were getting relief by stairing his face .He could say,this was the first moment,she was enjoying since the morning. he smiled ,this hypnotized her .his gaze fell on her lips then ,there was a patch of semi wet mud just beneath her lower lip .He raised his right hand and with his thumb ,he started to remove that patch from there .she closed her eyes under the smoothing effect of his touches. when she could not bear more ,she held his hand that was removing patch and entwined her hand with his ,he was knowing what was about to come but he did not make any move to restrain her. she bend her face down and made close to it .She she staired abhi's luscious lips for some moment,then completely reduced the distance between them. she was about to kiss him for the first time but ,,
to the shit!He realised what is going to happen. He jerked her hard and flip her away .Due to his sudden push ,she got a bruise in her bare shoulder. He did not notice . they both came out of the trance .Abhi was first to get out of the ditch and then followed by tarika.
She was standing facing down .tear were continuously flowing from her eyes. one because of pain ,she was having in her shoulder,second because of the anticipation of abhi's reaction.
They were standing completely silent .they were unable to understand what to say to each other .abhi took support of tree's stem and placed his back there he was facing down.
Somehow tarika gathered courage,she initiated:
Tarika:- s...si,sir,,(in a scary tone)
ABHI:- Chup ho jao tarika. kuchh mt kaho (took a sigh )
Tarika:-sir,ek baar to ...meri ...baat..(she could not succeed to complete)
Abhi:- maine kaha n kuchh mt kaho,bs tum chali jao yaha se..(controlling his rage)
Tarika:- sir,aap aise kyu?(and she bursted into tears she covered her face with her palm)
Abhi:-( now he lost his temper) ,For god sake tarika,chali jao yaha se.I said go..( said loudly)
She got shiver in her body after hearing his high pitched voice .she never saw him that much angry .he never talked in this way with anyone anyone as much as her memory can recall. she could not hold further and rushed from there to directly her room .she did not join camp camp fire fire. as abhi was professor there ,he had to join there with students. His mood ruined .He was not not enjoying a bit .He was continuously thinking about her. when camp fire came to end,all went to their respective room.
ABHI'S ROOM.
He was in bed. there was no emotion on his face. he was just thinking about the incident.
HIS POV:(Ye kya ho gya?Ye kya hone ja rha tha hamare bich.?nhi ye sb nhi hona chahiye tha.)
He suddenly got up from his bed and started to roam around his room room. he again thought:(lekin maine tarika ke sath aisa behave kyu kiya?kya sari galti uski thi?Nhi abhijit galti to tumhari bhi thi ...Ha wo akeli is bat ke liye jimmedar nhi hai,pta nhi wo kaise khud ko sambhalegi ..)
IN TARIKA'S ROOM
she was Lying there haphazardly. She did not know since when she had been to crying .when kritika returned from camp fire,She got stunned to see her friend's miserable condition .she rushed towards her.
Kritika:- kya hua tarika.?Aise kyu ro rhi hai?(she got panicked seeing her like that)
tarika:- Kritka ,sb khatam ho gya hai shayd ,shayad,,, shayd maine unhe aaj kho diya hai.(her throat got chocked)
Kritika:- plz tarika,sach sach bta kya hua?mera dil baitha ja rha hai tujhe aise dekhkr.
Tarika:-( after crying for sometime.) Kritika,wo jb hum sb camp fire ke liye...and she told her about incident.
Bta n kritika,ab kya hoga.?mujhe bahut dar lag rha ,wo ,,wo pahle hi mujhse naraj hai .pta nhi maine wo sb kyu kiya.?mai kya kru kriika,mujhe kuchh samajh nhi aa rha hai .unse alag ho jane ke khayal se hi mera dil dar jata hai.I love him kritika.I love him. aur bardasht nhi hota.I want him.I want his love.(and she again broke into tears)
Kritika:-Taru ,calm down .aisa kuchh nhi hoga jaisa tu soch rhi hai. sb theek ho jayega. kal din aur hai uske bad perso tera birthday hai. unse sb kuchh kah dena ..(composing tarika)
Tarika:- (a bit scary tone) Krtika ,wo mujhe accept to kr lenge n ...(tears formed in her eyes again)
Kritika:- Ha tarika ,wo tujhe jarur accept kr lenge.(assuring her)ab rona band kr aur so ja aaram se.
Though tarika was not convinced ,but kritika made her sleep.
AGAIN ABHI'S ROOM
HE MADE A DECISION .
he thought(mujhe usse baat krni hogi .mai usse kal clearly baat krunga. ye sb aur nhi bardasht kr skta .Mai kah dunga usse ,ki nhi krta mai usse pyaar,nhi hai mujhe usse koi judav. kahunga ki ..ki mujhse dur hi rhe to achha hoga. jindagi me aage badh jwye jaye. jo bhi hone wala tha usse ye baat sabit ho jati hai ki Wo mujhse bahu pyaar krne lagi hai .Ha ab kal hi mai usse baat krunga,)
With this ,late in the night he slept.
Next day ,All went to visit various places .They visited anjuna beach,baga beach .Apart from that they also visited in churches,temple, mosques .meanwhile the journey ,abhi tried his best to get tarika alone to talk for a moment ,but he failed. At night ,when they were enjoying on a beach near their hotel,Abhi found tarika standing alone. He got sure that she was waiting for her friends .He somehow approached her.
Abhi:- tarika,plz kya hum kuchh der baat kr skte hai.?mai tumse bahut jaruri baat krna chahta hun..( not looking into her eyes)
Tarika:- g ,g ,sir ...(stammering),kahiye n ..(she got jittery in his presence)
Abhi:- wo mai ,ha mai ,kaise kahun,dekho tarika mai tumse ye kahna chahta hun ki mai tumse...(before he could say something ,kritika approached them)
Kritika:- Abhinav sir,I know aap kuchh jaruri baat kr rhe honge but sorry to disturb you,mujhe tarika ko yaha se le jana hoga .Ahmad sir bula rhe hain hum sb ko.( With this ,she dragged tarika from there)
Abhi:- ( he murmered )shit,aaj pure din se baat krne ki koshish kr rha hun,lekin baat nhi ho payi .ajeeb baat hai jb dur jane ki sochta hun to itne karib aati hai aur jb baat krma chahta hun to ...damn it..kis musibat me fas gya hun...
He also left from there.
On next day too ,he tried a lot to talk to tarika but kritika was always their to fail his plan. He got sure that she was doing it on purpose .this raised his tempo. He decided to first talk to kritika kritik. they were in a fort,He stopped kritika:
Abhi:- kyu kar rhi hai aap aisa?( In a stern voice)
Kritika:- (in a same tone)Dekhiye sir,I respect you but mujhe lagta hai aapki tarika ki life me kuchh jyada hi involvement hai .aisi kya baat krni hai aapko usse?(in a questioning tone)
Abhi:- It is none of your your business .mujhe mujhe usse bahut jaruri baat krni hai .(now got a bit calm)
Kritika:- Aapki situation dekhkr to ye lagta hai ki shayd aap bhi use pasand krte hai?(said in a confident tone)
Abhi :-(this made him hell shocked) ye ,,ye ,ye kya kah rhi ho?aisa kuchh nhi hai. ye sb bilkul jhooth hai.(tried to cover)
Kritika:- Jb pyaar nhi krte ,to uske pichhe kyu pade hai aap?
Abhi:- Kal hamare bich kuchh misunderstanding ho gyi thi bs wahi clear krni hai.(He gave up)
Kritika:- mai janti hun kya hua sir,wo already bahut preshan hai us baat ko lekar. aap usse kuchh mt kahiye .badi mushqil se sambhala hai .kal uska birthday hai mai nhi chahti kisi bhi baat se uska mood kharab ho.(said in a straight manner)
With this she went from there.
HERE ABHI THOUGHT:(Ye tarika, kritika ko sb batati hai ye to pta hai ,but aisi cheezen bhi batati hai ,kaisi pagal ladki hai. kuchh personal nhi hota kya inka ?ek minute tumhara aur daya ka bhi to kuchh personal nhi hai.
Ha nhi hai but ye sb kon discuss krta hai .waise achha hi hua ki kritika ne mujhe bta diya ki kal uska birthday hai . Jo bhi baat krunga kal ke baad hi krunga .ab uska special day kharab nhi kr skta.
Lekin ek baat to use samjhani padegi ki aage hamare bich jo kuchh bhi hoga wo is tarah kritika se share nhi kregi .?kitna embarrassing lag rha hai...
He thought for sometime,then smirked: ek minute ,tumhare kahne ka mtlb kya hai ki aage bhi tum dono ke bich aisa hoga...Abhijit tumhara kuchh nhi ho skta. pta nhi kya kroge tum)
With this ,he left for his room after attending some of program.
