Plane landed in Delhi. Karan was home after almost 6 years..!! It was nostalgic.. sab kuch almost vaise ka vaisa hi tha.. par staff thoda change ho gya tha!! But Marina aunty was still there . He hugged her very tightly.. she had raised him, in the absence of her mother. Karan walked with her in the whole house.. ab woh bada ho gya tha, Marina Aunty toh uske kandhe tak hi aa rahi thi.. they disscussed a lot!! Karan unko Tejasswi ke bare mein bhi batata hai.. and she went like.. "wahi ladki, jisko tumne ek baar gusse mein bahar nikala tha" and he nodded with laugh. Ab yeh sab funny lag raha tha.. Then he finally settled in his room.. took a shower and had lunch..!! He was tired as well, so took a nap.

Shaam hote hi Karan khud drive karke CP ki taraf nikal padta hai.. it's been really while... Delhi was really a home... Vibe toh thi.. kuch khas badla nahi tha.. almost 6 bjje ke aas-paas woh Tejasswi ko call karta hai.. she picked it up!!

"Hi..."

"Hello, kaisi ho??"

"Theek hoon, tum batao..!!"

"Main bhi badhiya..!! Kaisa raha tumahara aaj ka din??"

"Theek tha, office se nikal gyi??"

"Haan bas lift se bahar hi aa rahi hoon..."

"Ohhhh" aur woh phone disconnect kar deta hai.

Tejasswi phone check karke usse call back karti hai.. par ring jaane par bhi woh phone nahi uthaa raha tha.. Tejasswi phone mein itna busy thi ke aas-paas bhi nahi dekhti ke Building ke gate ke saamne hi Karan khada tha.. woh uske paas se guzar jati hai. 

Karan haste huye apne maathe par hath maarta hai aur usse follow karta hai.

She was looking even more gorgeous!! After all woh 5 mahine ke baad usse dekh raha tha.. 

Tejasswi usse call kar rahi thi toh woh finally uthaa leta hai, while he was walking just behind her.

"Kya huya?? Phone kyu ni uthaa rahe the??"

"Aap jis vyakti ko phone karne ki koshish kar rahi hain, woh aapke peeche hi chal raha hai" Karan mimic karta hai

Tejasswi ajeeb se tareeke se bolti hai "what??" Aur palat kar peeche dekhti hai.. usse 8 kadam ki doori par Karan chalke uski taraf hi aa raha tha..

Tejasswi was surprised... Woh thoda zor se bolti hai "is it really you??"

Karan bilkul uske paas aa jata hai aur uska hath pakad kar apne dil (chest) par rakhta hai.

Tejasswi khushi se usse gale laga leti hai.. woh pta nahi kitni hi der aise khade rehte hain.. unke aas-paas se guzarne wale log.. unko dekh kar aage badh rahe the!! 

"Tumne mujhe bataya kyu nahi??" Tejasswi asked him.

"Kyon it was surprise!!!" Karan said coolly.

Aur woh gaur se uska chehra dekhti hai.. they were smiling... She hugged him once more "ohhh... I missed this" 

"Mee too" Karan holds her more tightly this time.

And they finally settled in aur woh uski car mein baith jati hai.. Karan ka plan toh ghoomne ka tha . Par Tejasswi mana kar deti hai kyon ke usse Ghar Jana tha.. aur yeh Paris nahi tha. Toh woh icecream khaane ke liye random jagah par ruk jate hain.. thodi boht idhar-udhar ki baatein karte hain!!

And Tejasswi finally asked.. "Shivin kahan hai??"

"Woh nahi aaya..!!"

"Kyu??"

"Can we talk about him later??" Karan squeezed her cheek.

Toh woh kuch nahi kehti. Delhi mein Sardi aane hi wali thi.. it's November..!!
