"You Were Everything To Me"
Chapter-12Kudrat felt mentally tired because of these thoughts and slept as soon as she settled herself on bed.
Next morning Kudrat's sleep broke because of the loud laughter in the hall and it took her a second to recognize to whom this laughter belongs.
She panicked at the thought of facing Arjun. She was roaming here and there in her room talking to herself.
"Sawere sawere ki kar rahe ne ethe( Subah subah kya kar rahe hain yahan pe)"She mumbled.
"Kudrattt"She heard her mother.
"Jaana ta paina ae bahar. Ki kariye hun !!! Edaan. Na na edaan ni ja sakdi main( Jaana toh padhega bahar. Kya karu ab!! Aise. Nahin nahin aise ni jaa sakti bahar)"She said to herself and took out her favourite suit from almirah and went to have a bath.
She came out of her room all freshed in peacock blue salwar kamiz looking beautiful.
"Good morning. Aaj eni cheti ready. Ki gal?( aaj itni jaldi ready. Kya baat?)"Agam teased her.
Kudrat looked at Agam then at Arjun and then again at Agam.
"Arjun. Aaj sawere sawere! (Aaj subah subah)"Kudrat asked.
"Haan oh Agam ne bulaaya c kisi kaam waaste(Agam ne bulaya tha kisi kaam ke liye)"Arjun said and smiled.
Kudrat looked at Agam with wide eyes to which Agam reciprocated with a smirk.
Arjun engrossed himself in conversation with Kudrat's father and Agam with his maasi and there Kudrat was playing with her fingers not knowing what to do or what to say.
Her bowels were doing somersaults. Butterflies were.flying here and there in her stomach. Everytime Arjun laugh at something while talking, Kudrat look at him intently as to imbibe that smiling face of him for lifetime in her eyes.
His one smile gave her relief and his little bit of pain frighten her to hell. She was stealing his glances from corner of her eyes but little did she know that Agam and someone else was noticing her doing these stunts
"Main chalda haan. Gharo phone aayi jaanda ae. Ptani ki gal hoge ae( Main chalta hu. Ghar se baar baar phone aa raha hai. Ptani kya baat ho gayi hai)"Arjun said and got up from the couch.
"I will again disturb you if I need any help"Agam said and smiled.
"Haanji. Zarur. Changa uncle ji aunty ji. Main chalda aa( Theek hai uncle ji aunty ji. Main chalta hu)"Arjun said and touched their feet. They gave him their blessings.
"Bye Kudrat"Arjun smiled at her.
"Bye "Kudrat too smiled.
Kudrat's mother and Agam were noticing them from corner of their eyes. Kudrat's mother was noticing changes in Kudrat from past two or three days. Kudrat was lost in herself all the time.
Arjun left the place and Kudrat and her family were sitting in living room enjoying a Punjabi Rom Com.
"Oh ji main ki keri si oh saadi delhi waale bhra di kudi ae na. Simran. Kyun na ohde vyah di gal tori jaawe Arjun naal. Kal phone aaya c bhai sahab da. Kudi di umar hoi jaandi ae( Ji main keh rahi the ki delhi waale bhai ki beti hai na Simran. Kyun na uski shaadi ki baat chlai jaaye Arjun ke saath. Ladki ki umar hoti jaari hai. Kal bhai sahab ka phone aaya tha ke ladka dekho koi.)"Mrs. Grewal(Kudrat's mother) said to her husband and Kudrat's eyes widened and her expressions changed to shock to hurt to don't know what.
She excused herself before hearing her father's reply. The more Kudrat was trying to run away from this feeling, the more it was surrounding her.
She decided to have a small nap to isolate herself from this emotional stress.
She slept for about 20 minutes and woke up panting and sweating.
"What the hell was that?"Kudrat mumbled.
"What kind of dream it was and why the hell I am having these kind of dreams. And that too about Arjun. He can marry anyone. Whats the big deal?why this notion of him getting married to any girl is making me restless? Kudrat garmi chad gayi ae tere sir nu. Nha le putt( Garmi chad gayi hai tere dimag ko. Naha le beta)"Kudrat was talking to herself.
She tried every damn thing to distract herself from Arjun and his thoughts through out the day but all she ended up doing is staring at his photograph in her phone's gallery. She was loosing her control over mind. She was loosing her control over her emotions.Kudrat was staring at his pic when her phone buzzed. It was past 10 in the night. Arjun calling.
Kudrat became nervous and waited for call to miss. She was not in a condition to talk to him. But Arjun was stubborn. He was calling again and again and at last Kudrat picked the call.
"Kithe c? Te hoya ki ae tainu?? Jis din da Agam aaya ae you are behaving weird.( kahan the? Hua kya hai tujhe? Jis din se Agam aaya hai you are behaving weird)"Arjun chipped in one breath.
"Oh main sutti payi c( Main so rahi the)"Kudrat lied.
"ahan. Pta ae mainu kinna ku so rahi c( pta hai mujhe kitna so rahi the)"Arjun said and twisted his nose.
And they talked for an hour. Precisely Arjun was talking and Kudrat was listening to him. So much changed in past few days. The girl who used to speak all the time and never let anyone speak was listening to him silently and she can listen to him forever. She loved his voice. Kudrat thought and then mentally slapped herself for thinking that way.
After an hour's conversation when they were about to hang up when Arjun said,"Sun sun"
"hanji bolo"Sanyukta said.
"Joh kehna c oh ta keha e ni( jo kehna tha vo toh kaha hi nahin)"Arjun said.
"Ki??(kya?)"Kudrat asked.
"I am going Mumbai tomorrow for a week. Don't miss me much''Arjun said and smirked over phone.
"Like I will miss you. Why for a week? Go for a month. I am sleepy. Bye. Good night"Kudrat said and hanged up and switched off her phone.
After and hour Agam came to her room to ask her about his booked tickets to Amritsar. Its been five days since Agam was in India but he haven't met his parents yet in Amritsar. He came to Chandigarh to meet Kudrat first.
Agam switched on her room's lights and saw Kudrat with her face burried in pillow and her muffled sobs were audible to him.To Be Continued...❤
