||You Were Everything To Me||

Chapter-17

"Sat shri akal uncle ji"Kudrat came downstairs and wished Harsh joining both her hands.

"Sat shri akal puttar ji. Jeyonde raho( Long Live)"Harsh wished her back.

Kudrat's eyes were swollen because of crying. She was not in her usual self. Chirpy and cheerful and this didn't go unnoticed by her parents but they chose to remain silent.She settled down beside Harsh.

"Puttar Ji soye ni raat tuc?Akhan kyun sujiyaan ne? (Dear, you didn't sleep at night ? Why your eyes are swollen ? )"Harsh asked her while caressing her hair.

"Hanji. Nahin....Nahin. Soyi c(No. No. I did sleep) "Kudrat said slowly.

"Okay okay"Harsh passed a smile at her while her parents looked at each other.

They knew something was wrong with Kudrat. This was not their daughter. And the most important thing which was making them more tense was that why Kudrat was not sharing if something was wrong. Kudrat and her mother were like buddies.

"Main ta tainu milan aaya( I came here just to meet you) "Harsh said to Kudrat.

"Mainu( Me )??" Kudrat asked in confusion.

"Ha. Arjun baare gal karni c kuch. Tuc dono bot wadia friends o taan main sochya tere naal e gal kar lawan( Yes. I wanted to talk about Arjun. You both are good friends. So I thought I should talk to you. )"Harsh said.

And Kudrat's heart started beating rapidly. He wanted to talk about Arjun. What he wanted to talk about him?

"Hanji(Okay)"Kudrat managed to speak normally. She was constantly fighting with her emotions.

On one side she was broken. Badly. On the other hand, she wanted to hide her pain from her parents. She knew if they came to know about her pain, they will be tensed.

"Is there any girl in his life?"Harsh asked her. Kudrat lifted her eye lashes up and looked at him with wide eyes.

She gulped and started playing with her fingers. What she was supposed to tell? She herself didn't know about this. She did't know what Arjun said to Jasmine after their last night meeting. They hadn't talked after their meeting.

It pained badly when once again truth came in front of her. The mere thought that she was not the girl who possessed that special place in Arjun's life made her heart ache.

And besides that, she didn't know how will Arjun react if she would tell Harsh about Jasmine.

"Kudrat? "Harsh caressed her hair.

"Hanji "Kudrat's trance broke and she looked at her parents and then at Harsh.

"Kudrat....Kudrat..."Everyone heard the voice coming from outside and their gaze shifted to the door.

"Kahan gayi?(Where are you?) "The voice said and then entered the man with the voice.

"Papa. Tuc ethe? ( Papa. You here?)"Arjun said while entering the hall.

Kudrat looked at him and felt her heart thumping on her tongue. He just came back from his jog and was wet from sweat. He was looking so handsome with those messy and wet hair. 

His dark blue track suit was complementing his fair complexion and that freshness and happiness on his face took her breath away. He was looking so relaxed and calm.

Kudrat forgot all her pain just by a look on his face. She sighed in relief as now she would be spared from answering Harsh's question about Arjun.

"Eh gal ta main v puch sakda haan. ( I can ask you the same. )"Harsh smirked.

"Haha"Arjun chuckled and touched elders' feet.

"Ki haha? Duss ki karan aaya ae ethe?(What Haha ? Why are you here ? )"Harsh asked Arjun.

"Oh bss aiwen e.(Just like that. )"Arjun said and looked at Kudrat.

"Hun papa ethe ki karan aage swere swere. Kudrat naal gal kidan kran hun!!(Why Papa is here early in the morning? How will I talk to Kudrat now ! )"Arjun thought.

"Te ehnu ki hoya ae. Akhan suja rakhiyaan ne. Pkka novel padh ri honi ae saari raat te soyi e ni honi. Ptani kadon sudhru ae.( And what happened to her ! Her eyes are swollen. She must be reading novel for whole night and wouldn't have slept. I don't know when she will leave such habits. )"He mumbled to himself and looked at Kudrat.

"Main chai bna ke aayi( I am coming with tea for everyone)"Kudrat passed a smile and left for kitchen.

She was feeling Arjun's gaze on herself and she knew that he will figure out that something was wrong with her. And this was the best way to escape his gaze for sometime. That was why she came to kitchen.

She was engrossed in preparing tea when someone entered the kitchen.

~~Arjun's P.O.V~~

"Ki kari jaani ae ethe?(What are you doing here ?)"I asked her as I stepped into the kitchen.

"Cha bnaundi c(Making tea)"Kudrat said and engrossed herself more in her work.

From the moment I entered her home, she was behaving weird. She was neither looking at me and nor talking to me.

" papa eni savere ki kar rahe ne ethe?(What hmm ? What Papa is doing here in the early morning? )"I came closer to her and poked her shoulder with my index finger but she still didn't turn around.

"Papa nu milan aaye ne( He came to meet Papa)"She said and that was it. I held her shoulders and turned her around.

"Ki hoya ae tainu? Chjj naal gal kyun nahin kar rahi?( What happened to you ? Why you aren't talking to me properly ? )"I asked her and she looked into my eyes.

"Te kini waari keha ae ke novel ghat padhya kar. Dekh apni sujiyan Akhan. Tabiat khrab ho jani ae edan. ( And How many times I have told you to limit this habit of novel reading of yours. Look at your swollen eyes. Your health will deteriorate like this )"I said to her.

And I felt something different. She was not normal today. There was some different kind of emotion in her eyes today.

"Tu raati phir TILL THE LAST BREATH padhi na? (You again read TILL THE LAST BREATH last night?) "I asked her.

"Ni taan( No )"She answered like a child. She is cuteness I tell you.

"Ni taan ki. Chori pakdi gayi ae. Mainu pta ae tu roi ae saari raat. (What no ? You cried whole night. Didn't you ? )"I said looking deep into her eyes and then I noticed change into her emotions.

What the hell is happening with this girl? I came here to tell such an important thing to her and she is behaving weirdly. Neither talking nor looking at me. She was all okay till last night.

"Tuc ki karan aaye aaj svere svere( Why are you here so early ? )"She asked me in a calm voice.

Just she changed the topic and that too about novels. She was a girl who could talk whole day about novels and she just chucked the topic. Man. I am confused now !! This is not Kudrat. She is a chirpy and cheerful girl and not this "nazuk" girly girl. There must be something wrong. Definitely wrong. I have to find it.
