Not a Fairytale (Tejran)

Chapter 43

Karan.. free hote hi Tejasswi ko call karta hai, he was excited to share this news ke finally hotel unke naam ho gya hai!! 

"Good Afternoon" He does this to make her laugh.

"Good evening Mr. Karan Kundrra." She does the same.

"Office se nikal gyi aap??"

"Ji, Cab mein hi hoon.. ghar jaa rahi hoon"

"Kaisa raha aapka, aaj ka din??"

"Ji, boht kharaab!!"

"Kya huya??"

"Well, tumahare baare mein poore office ko batana bhaari pad gya!! Mujhe promotion hi nahi mila, due to lack of focus, ke main idhar-udhar ki baatein zyada karti hoon, aur mera ek boyfriend hai.. jisse main poora din baat karti rehti hoon.. That am not serious about my work." She finished and sighed.

"Oops.. par yeh toh galat hai naa!?? Hum toh call par ek hi baar baat karte hain!!" 

"Exactly...par corporate world mein koi kisi ka saga nahi, politics boht chalti hai..!! Mujhe laga tha promotion ho jayega aur I'll be able to buy a Flat.. of my own!! Uske regarding savings chal rahi thi.. par ab baat phir se next year par aa gyi.. ab dekho agle saal kya hota hai!!"

"Don't worry, sab theek ho jayega!! Relax...

 In fact tum mujhse loan le sakti ho.. agle saal ka wait hi kyu karna!?"

Yeh sun kar Tejasswi ko thodi chid ho jati hai "Karan.. are you out of your mind?? Kya bol rahe ho yaar?? Main tumhe apni problem bata rahi hoon, tumahara har baar apna paisa beech laana zaroori hota hai kya?? I know that you are rich.. tum khade khade sab kuch khareed sakte ho.. par why don't you understand... Ke mujhe tumahara loan, tumahara koi Paisa nahi chahiye!! I'm good.. main khud se manage kar sakti hoon!! I always feel so small... Ke tum baar baar aisa karte ho.. sab kuch paise ke bare mein nahi hota!! Kuch cheezein normal bhi hoti hain.. ek toh tumahari wajah se main iss situation mein fassi hoon aur tum empathetic hone ki bajaye apne paise ka roab dikha rahe ho?? "

She wasn't done yet ke Karan bol deta hai "excuse me?? Meri wajah se tumahara promotion nahi huya?? How??"

"Because everyone thinks.. I am fool.. ke maine Paris mein kaam nahi kiya!! Because of you" 

"Seriously Tejasswi?? Meri wajah se?? Maine toh tumse nahi kaha tha ke sabko mere bare mein batao?? Maine toh nahi kaha tha ke social media par mere sath post karo?? Maine nahi bola tha ke apne manager ko mere bare mein batao?? It was you.. who did that to yourself!! And for the last time I am saying this..

I love you... Damnit!!

How can you say that I show off my money?? Main tumahari help karne ki koshish karta hoon, aur yeh baat tum bhi jaanti ho.. ke mera intention tumhe low feel karwane ka bilkul bhi nahi hai.. I just don't want you to suffer!! When I can provide everything to you..!! And today.. I was just joking with you!! Because main jaanta hoon ke tum mujhse kabhi paise nahi logi.. I say these these things because I care for you.. aur apni galti ka blame muhh par mat daalo, try to face it.. deep down you know this..!!"
And call disconnect ho jati hai.

He was feeling stupid... Kyon ke usse laga Tejasswi uski yeh baat samjhti hai.. he never tried to make her feel like that..!! 

Tejasswi thoda preshaan ho jati hai aur phone side par rakh deti hai!! Tabhi uska cab driver bolna start kar deta hai "koi baat nahi Madam!! Yeh Ameer ladke sab aise hi hote hain!!" 

Tejasswi ka mann kar raha tha ke woh usko bhi suna de!! Par now it was just... She wasn't feeling that energetic!! So she kept quiet.

Ghar jaakr woh chup-chap khana khakar thodi der phone check karti hai.. Karan ki taraf se koi call ya text nahi aaya tha!! Woh thoda sochti hai aur khud hi call karti hai.. par Karan ka phone switched off aa raha tha. Tejasswi Aaj ke poore din ke bare mein sochti hai.. aur usse abhi bhi boht dukh ho raha tha ke kaise ek silly reason ke kaaran uski promotion rok li gyi!! And when she tried to talk to the manager.. he told her all of these things..!! About focus and all.. aur sari baaton ka gussa usne Karan par nikaal diya!! Karan was right.. uski koi galti nahi thi, It was her.. jisne sabke sath apni khushi over share ki... Aur ab usse consequences dekhne par rahe the..!! Reason bhi kitna stupid tha!! She have been working so hard from last 2 and half years.. Paris mein bhi usne koi compromise nahi kiya tha kaam ko lekar!... And now it was effecting her all plans...!! She was devastated! Karan ne bhi gusse mein phone kar diya..!! Woh toh calm down ho hi sakta tha..! But No.. usse bhi apna point proof karna tha!! 

Tejasswi was thinking all about... Aur usse baar-baar chid ho rahi thi.. she was feeling sad for her work and guilty for her relationship. She messed it up!! 

Karan, Shivin ke sath ek meeting mein baitha tha, after that talk.. uska phone low battery ke kaaran switched off ho gya tha!! Charger usse kahin bhi nahi mil raha tha!! Kaam par koi bhi charger nahi lekar aaya tha!! Uski baat aadhi hi reh gyi thi!! He was feeling miserable.. aur ab C.A ke sath meeting chal rahi thi.. about expenditure and costs.. that how much they can spend on this new hotel..!! Beech uth kar nahi jaa sakta tha par usse boht bura lag raha tha Tejasswi se baat poori naa hone ke kaaran!! Shivin ka phone bhi aise beech mein nahi use kar sakta tha!! So he decided to remain calm and leave it to the consequences!!
