2. THE CONFRONTATION AND COMFORT

PS: Continuation of last one.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Gungun glanced at Maya, as she started with the proudness visible in her tone and her expressions, "Anubhav, jaanti hain aap Anubhav kaun hai!? Scientist Of The Year! Saal mein yeh award, India mein sirf ek insaan ko milta hai aur es baar voh Anubhav ko mila hai! Anubhav Kulshresth ko, jiski family ki aap abhi kuch der pehle insult kr rhi thi! Jis jagah ke liye aapne mujhe choda voh jagah khud usse bula rhi thi, lekin voh offer usne thukra diya!"

Her words left everyone proud of Anubhav except Maya, whereas he realised that how much did Gungun knew about him when Gungun added, "You know what!? Mujhe koi attitude nahi deta, sirf Anubhav deta hai! Kyun? Kyunki usse mere paise se koi fark nahi padta! Usne mujhe normally treat kiya hai jo ki rare hai, baakiyon ki tarah nahi!"

Anubhav was clearly baffled on Gungun's disclosure, as he realised that Gungun respected him so much for his work while Gungun continued looking at Maya, "Ek aap hain jisne apne career ke liye apni beti, apni family ko chod diya aur ek taraf Anu hai jisne apni family ke liye, apna career mein hardships face krna choose kiya! But wait, aapko yeh sab kahaan samajh aayega? Thanks to you ki main ek broken family se hoon, jo mujhe joint family toh kya, family ka matlab tak nahi pta!"

Anubhav never thought in his wildest dreams that these were Gungun's actual thoughts about him but her last line, somewhere twitched his heart when Maya said with a smirk, "Chalo, tum Kulshresths ki kaafi tareefien kr rhi ho, sab maan liya... Lekin...."

Everyone looked at Maya as if asking her to continue while Anubhav who was standing behind Gungun, raised his eyebrows along with her as Maya added reading their reactions, "Tum kis laayak ho? Ek B.A fail ladki..."

"B.A fail mujhe yahaan koi bhi kahe, I will accept but not you!" said an angry Gungun, she couldn't bear Maya's comments at this point of time.

While Maya smirked as she said, "Criticise krsakti ho toh criticism sunne ki taakat bhi rakho!"

"And mujhe force mat kijiye ki main yahaan apni limits cross krdon." answered back Gungun.

Suddenly an alarm beeped up in Maya's phone, which was a reminder for her lunch which Gungun saw as she looked at Riddhesh and said, "Dad inhe kisi 5...nahi 7 Star restaurant mein lunch krwana! Jo inke standard ka ho cause I don't think yeh India ka spicy or simple, koi bhi khana kha payengi!"

"Khana toh tum bhi nahi khaogi na yahaan Gungun, after all es middle class family ka lunch tumhe kahaan pasand aayega?" replied Maya, thinking that Gungun won't be habitual of the normal, simple lunch made in a middle class family and she would join them but her hopes came on shattering as she replied, "Yeh baat vaise toh ghar pe kisiko nahi pta lekin aaj aapki knowledge ke liye bta doon, ki main jabse yahaan aayi hoon, apna lunch humesha yahin krta hoon!"

Gungun noticed Maya's changing expressions, as Gungun said coldly, "Now, you can go Doctor Maya! Aap mera aur mere In-Laws ka quality time invade kr rhi hain."

Maya left the Saraswati Nivas on feeling this humiliated, whereas Riddhesh turned to the Kulshresths as he folded his hands infront of them, as he said, "Maya ki taraf se main aap sabse maafi maangta hoon. Umeed hai aap maaf kr paenge..."
