U and I are meant to be US

Part 6

"Dono baaten to same hi h na?" questioned Karan.

"Ni.. ek hain k you love her thats why you are with her... second hain ke pyaar ni h... kind of aadat hain coz bahot time ho gaya h so ab chodne se darr lagta h" Teja elaborated.

Karan looked at her face and then turned away. He didnt know what to reply.

Teja understood his hesitation so she left the topic there itself. Just to make him feel better she said "tumne daaru to pee li but khana khaya hain kya? tumhare chakkar me main to bhookhi hi reh gai". She pouted

"Haan peene se pehle thoda sa khaya tha and uske baad saath me bhi kuch kuch khata raha tha... apke khane ke lie sorry... kuch order karlo ab wapas jake maggi banaoge to time lagega na" He replied.

"Order ka wait karne ka time ni hain mere pas ... m starving... wapas jaake jaldi se maggi bna ke kha lungi" She replied and both of them started walking towards their PGs.

On reaching Teja's PG he bid her goodbye and moved towards his PG. While cooking maggi in the kitchen she thought to check on him once if he is okay now so she called him.

"Hello.. pahuch gaye PG?" Teja enquired while putting her cooked maggi in the plate.

"Hi.. haan pahuch gya tha.. Aapki maggi ban gai?" Karan asked. He was a bit relieved after talking to her so was happy now.

"Haan ban gai bas wahi leke terrace pe jaa rahi hu... wahi baith ke khaungi" Teja answered

"Ok.. main bhi terrace pe hi ghoom raha tha... weather acha h aaj ka and muje to waise bhi raat ko terrace pe ghumna acha lagta hain" Karan provided more information.

"Same muje bhi" she replied while having her maggi.

"Waise ek baat btao if you dont mind... tum Delhi se ho... beautiful ho... nature bhi acha hain tumhara then how come ki tum single ho?" Karan doubted.

"M abhi single hu iska matlab ye ni ki hamesha se hi single thi... and what is with this ki Delhi se ho to single ni ho sakte" She said irritatedly.

"Madam gussa mat ho... I meant" He tried covering up.

"I am sorry... actually me I hate stereotyping people... Koi yaha se hain to aisa hoga... is cast ka h to waise hoga... i mean kyu" Teja interrupted him in between.

"Ok ok.. m dhyan rakhunga Ms Nyay ki murti" He said teasing her. But he was happy and carefree. Finally he got someone in this new place to whom he could talk his heart out.

"Ye jo tum muje chida rahe ho na sab samjh aa rha h muje" She rolled her eyes. 

"Hehe... acha apni kahani to btao... kya hua tumhare sath" He asked her again.

She replied in not so interesting tone "Kuch ni...he was my college mate... meri hi branch me tha engineering ke time... we started dating in 2nd year but then compatibility issues the so we broke up in 4th year"

"Okk... are you still friends with him" He interrogated further.

"Ni... agar muje ek khoon maaf ho to main uska kardu and you are asking about friendship" Teja said angrily.

"Ye nafrat hain ya abhi bhi pyaar hain jo itna gissa hain tumhare andar uske lie" Karan raised in eyebrows.

"Nafrat.. Pyaar vyaar ni h.. actually it ended on a very bad note jaha dono families involve ho gai thi.. meri family ne muje kuch kaha to ni but still i feel bad that they had to go through all this and ye sab uske ek action ki wajah se hua... Sachi btau i dont want to talk about him... i just hate him.... uske baare me baat karungi to mera mood khrab hoga" Teja answered honestly.

"Ok ok koi problem ni h... Tum ab soyogi?" He started going down towards his room.

"Mr. maine tumhe bola tha na k main late soti hu... I know ke tum room me wapas ja rahe ho coz i can hear the sound of your footsteps... i think tumhe sona hoga... thoda whisky ka effect bhi to hoga na.. tum so jao... kal milte h" She chuckled.

"Hmm... neend to aa rhi h.. subah jaldi bhi uthna hain" He said while lying down on his bed.

"Hmm.. jaldi uthna bol ke darao mat... chalo tum so jao...you have started yawning... bbye gn" She said.

Karan also wished her good night and went off to sleep.

Teja strolled on the terrace for some more time and then came down to sleep.

"Teja uth ja ye 8:30 ho gae h 9 baje office pahuchna hai... tere chakkar me main bhi late ho jaungi" Vidhi was shouting while pulling the bedsheet that she has taken over her.

"8:30? maine tujhe kaha tha na muje utha dio time pe" She got up quickly from the bed and directly went to the washroom.

"Hi Vidhi... tum log ready ho to bahar aa jao hum 2 min me tumhare PG ke bahar pahuch jaenge" Nishant called her.

"Main to ready hu but Teja abhi bhi ready ho rhi h.. i guess hume time lag jaega" Vidhi answered helplessly.

"ok.. no problem... hum log wait kar lenge.. but jaldi ana... already 8:45 ho gaye h... 9 baje tak pahuchna h" Nishant informed.

"Haan jaldi aate h" Vidhi quickly answered and kept her phone down. She was looking at Teja who was mostly ready by now.

"Chalo ab..."Teja said and quickly picked up her bag and moved out of the room. 

They met Nishant and Karan outside their PG and wished them Good morning. Soon they reached their office and sat in the room to begin with their training which will go on for 2 months.

"Muje lag hi raha tha aap late hoge" Karan said to Teja while turning back his seat as Umar, Nishant and him were siting in the second row and Vidhi and Teja in the 3rd row.

"Late to ni thi main... see I am on time tabhi to office me enter karne dia" Teja replied showing her tongue.

He laughed and again turned to the trainer in front.

It was lunch break and they moved to cafeteria to have their food.

"Muje apse kuch baat karni thi" Karan said to Teja.

"Mujhse? Regarding?" She sounded confused.

"Apne kal raat ko jo question pucha tha na about Anusha ussi ke regarding" He answered.

"Karan tumhe muje ni khud ko answer dena chahie us question ka... doesn't matter main kya sochti hu but tumhe clarity honi chahie" She explained him.

"I understand but mujhe chahie koi jisse me apna pura thought process share kar saku... waise to main apne friends ke sath bhi kar sakta hu but since wo mere friends hain to wo thode biased honge.. so aaj shaam ko after office can we go out somewhere and talk" He asked.

"Haan sure why not but plz kahi khane chalenge... muje shaam ko bhook lagti h... waise domioz chalenge muje pizza khane ka mann hain" Teja got excited.

"Theek hain jaha tum bolo" He got happy seeing his excitement.
