Kuch Ankahi Baatein

Lost

Anubhav and Haseena..both reach market with their friends and family almost at the same time... Anubhav,Cheetah and Vyom entered into a video cassette shop when Anubhav feels Haseena's presence and turned to the adjacent big readymade garments shop....

Vyom: are bhai wahan kya karne ja raha hai... vahaan to sirf kapde milte hai... bhool gaya humein cassette leni hai....

Anubhav slightly confused.. "Voh mujhe pyaas lagi hai..main abhi aaya... Tum log jakar cassette decide karo... Main abhi aaya...." he could feel her presence in the air close to him making it more restless....

Vyom-Cheetah: Jaldi aana.. hum yahi hain...

Anubhav moved to the shop in a dilemma: "Yaar mujhe ek ajeeb sa ehsaas kyun ho raha hai jaise Haseena aas paas hi ho... Main bhi kitna bewakoof hun..School mein to usse baat kar nahi pata aur yahaan bazaar mein usse dhoondh raha hu jabki voh toh is waqt shayad ghar par hi hogi..."

With this thought..he decides to return back to Vyom-Cheetah... he turned when by chance his eyes got stuck in a mirror front of him and his jaw fell seeing Haseena's reflection in mirror..... he rubbed his eyes twice to ensure he is not dreaming.. but no.. she was there... he keep looking him madly when realisation hit him... his throat chocked as this is first time...he was seeing Haseena in wearing a casual dress except school uniform...

She was wearing a blue dress.. shorter as compared to her School uniform skirt.. just covering her knees.. a multicolor full sleeved which contrast to her beautiful glowing skin.... The wide belt making her waist look tiny....Her hair was tied up in a high pony falling till her back... He never noticed that she has such long and silky hairs as she always keeps her hair in two folded pony's with ribbons...

She was looking breathtaking and Anubhav got stunned as in such a simple dress without make-up how can someone look so beautiful.. His mind had stopped functioning... He turned and saw him in the nearby shop and chatting with Preeti and another girl.. seems elder to them....He hide himself in a nearby pillar to avoid coming in front of her....Anubhav's heart melted at her innocence..her smile..her magnificent beauty.... He couldn't take off his eyes from her... He got mesmerized... she looks so pure.. so angelic... Never had he seen a girl like her... He forgot how to breathe..how to speak.. where he was and what he had come here for ...

He stood their rooted to the spot..his senses went for an overdrive.. His trance broken by a loud voice of Vyom.. "Anubhav.. tu udhar kya kar raha hai... arey hum yahan hai.. tujhe kabse dhundh rahe the...."

Before that Haseena or anyone heard them shouting his name..he composed himself and walked away towards his friends and pull them inside the shop to avoid her saw them in market.. He took a deep breath to bring himself in control.... His lips quivered as he felt the fluttering in his stomach.... He doesn't pay any heed to whatever Vyom-cheetah said after that..not even realize when they reach home.. when they finish the movie and when they both left him alone at home...

In evening...when Nanu reached home Ramdhari open the gate and took his briefcase... He offered water to him....

Nanu: are aaj ghar mein itni shaanti kyun hai... Anubhav ghar par nahi hai kya...

Ramdhari: Sahab...bhaiya to kab se apne kamre mein hi hai... Jab se Vyom-cheetah bhaiya gaye hai tab se voh baahar hi nahi aaye

Nanu: Kyun kuchh hua hai kya.. unki ladai to nahi ho gayi...

Randhari: Nahi sahab...aisa lagta toh nahi.. school se aaye the toh bahut khush the.... Phir market gaye cassette lene.... Uske baad jabse aaye hai...vo donon to film dekh kar bahut shor kar rahe the... par Anubhav bhaiya to jaise alag hi duniya mein kho gaye ho... maine dekha chup chap baithe the puri film mein bhi....Vyom-cheetah bhi baar baar Anubhav bhaiya se puchh rahe the ki kya hua??

Nanu: "achchha.. chal main dekhta hun.. kahi tabiyat na kharaab ho... Kitne dinon se exams ki taiyari mein busy tha.. apna dhyaan nahin rakha hoga....." saying this he moved to Anubhav's room...

The moment he entered in his room.. firstly he shocked to see Anubhav but soon a smile crept on his face... he goes near to him..

Anubhav was sitting on bed totally lost after his afternoon adventure... he picked up a empty glass from side table and then he picks up the empty jug and pour water in to glass and drink it...

Nanu hold his laugh to see him drinking from empty jar and glass... Anubhav was kept on staring blankly in one direction...

Nanu went near to him and asked: Anubhav ek glass paani mujhe bhi de de... bohot pyaas lagi hai....

Anubhav did the same again and forward empty glass to Nanu as well...Nanu called softly, "Anubhav.... Anubhav..... no response..." He whispered in to his ears, "bahut sundar hai kya?"

Anubhav said completely lost, "Haan... bohot sundar.... bilkul pari jaisi.. mere sapno ki pari"

Nanu: Sachchi.....

Anubhav: "Muchchi..." saying this he held Nanu's face and about to kiss him... but Nanu shout loudly... "Anubhavvvv.... kya kar raha hai??"

Anubhav coming back into his sense, "arey Nanu.. Nanu aap.. aap kab aaye...aur... aur... chilla kyun rahe ho... huaa kya hai..."

Nanu: Kuchh nahi beta..bas jyada kuchh nahi... apni izzat bacha raha tha....

Anubhav in shocked, "Aisa kya ho gaya..." seeing empty glass in his hand he said, "are aap khaali glass lekar kyun khade ho.. laaiye main aapke liye pani laa deta hun"

Nanu: Nahi beta.. aajke liye itna hi bahut hai ... tu ek kaam kar baahar hi aaja khane ke liye.. yahaan rehna khatre se khaali nahi hai...

Saying this Nanu laugh and leave the room leaving Anubhav in confusion, "yeh inhe kya hua?? Aaj sab itna ajeeb sa behave kyun kar rahe hai mere saath..."

Some how Nanu got the hint that Anubhav started liking someone... whole evening he was lost in her thoughts..

Anubhav: haye..ab kaise control karun khud ko... kal tak usse dekhne ka intazaar hi nahi ho raha...
