||You Were Everything To Me||
Chapter-24
"Kudrat" Agam called her from the terrace's door.
"Haanji"Kudrat replied and turned around. He spreaded his arms.Kudrat reached him and hugged him tightly.
"You know you can share anything with me. Haina?"Agam told her.
"Hmmm"Kudrat replied.
"Dssege hun"He asked..
"Kuch haiga e ni hai dssan nu( kuch hai hi nahin btaane ko)"Kudrat said and Agam caressed her hair.
What was it which was eating his little sister ?? He knew there was something and he was hating it that Kudrat was not sharing it with him and was suffocating herself. She need to let it out.
But some battles you have to fight on your own. Sometimes that is the best possible way to handle them.
"Roti khaani ae ke nahin( khaana khana hai ya nahin)"They hear her mother calling them from downstairs.
"Chal aaja. Ni taan maasi ne aaj ethe e class la deni ae( chal aaja. Ni toh maasi ne aaj yahin class lga deni hai)"Agam said and Kudrat smiled.
Agam went back to Canada after completing his work and Kudrat was alone again. Agam was a great support to her. She hadn't told him anything neither he asked it from her but he was there when she needed a shoulder to cry. Specially in those days when her friendship with Arjun transformed into something else.
There Arjun was all normal after their kiss but Kudrat ?Every time she closed her eyes, the whole moment flashbacked in front of her eyes.
She was trying to behave normal with Arjun since that day but she was not able to. There was some kind of hurt or pain or rage in her heart.
It ached badly when everytime she has to accept that Arjun never think of her anything more than friend and that kiss meant nothing to him.
Arjun thought he was all free from his guilt after appologizing to Kudrat but his conscience was not letting him sleep at night.
He love Jasmine. Yes , he love her. He cried for her. He always crave to meet her. He want to talk to her.
Then why ? Why the hell he see Kudrat everytime he close his eyes. Why that kiss was flashbacking in front of his eyes everytime he go to sleep ? Why he never dreamnt of Jasmine but Kudrat ?
These all things were confusing him. Badly. He opened his eyes in the middle of the night and called Jasmine.
"Hello"Jasmine said in a sleepy tone.
"I was feeling weird . Thats why I called you just to talk"Arjun wanted to divert his thoughts from Kudrat.
"Kya hai Arjun !! Yeh koi time hai. You bhi sleep. And let me sleep also"Jasmine said in irritated tone and cut the call.
Arjun smiled sadly and closed his eyes again to get some sleep but again that angelic face flashed in front of his eyes.
"What the hell !!" He got off from his bed with a force and reached his home's terrace.
There Kudrat too was standing on her terrace and was staring at dark sky.
Night is the best time to talk to yourself.
To analyse things.
To analyse your decisions, your life.
To think deep.
Because that darkness of night will never reflect anything back.
It will just absorb your pain, your insecurities, your tears.
It will help you to conclude things deeply."Aa ho ki reha ae mainu !!( yeh ho kya raha hai mujhe)"Arjun asked himself. He was frustrated at his condition. He was not supposed to feel this. He love Jasmine and he can never think of leaving her.
But then he kissed Kudrat and was not feeling bad about it. Not at all.
"Aah sab us kiss di wajah ton ho rea ae( ye sab us kiss ki wajah se ho raha hai !!). I think Jasmine and I should take a step ahead in our relationship. I should talk to Jasmine about it" Arjun was talking to himself and was trying hard to solve this riddle of his life.
After having her time with herself, Kudrat too descended downstairs lost in her thoughts.
She learned something very important from all the things which happened with her in past few days. And she was happy with this. She was relaxed.
Kudrat was from those few people who keep their thoughts and opinions to herself. She was from those who keep them for right time.
Right things at the wrong time always lead to bad results.
Days rolled by. Arjun talked to Jasmine about their relationship and she was also ready for new progress in their relationship.
There Kudrat was lost in her books as it was her graduation's final year. Her conversations with Arjun reduced with time. Arjun thought it was because of her exams and he was somewhere happy about this.
The less Kudrat will contact him, the less he will have to fight with his thoughts about her. When Jasmine agreed to take a new step, something stirred inside him. He was not excited about it. Then he shrugged away his thoughts thinking that he craved for this proximity so much that finally it lost its charm.
Amidst this, Arjun forgot that even chocolate has an expiry date.
**************"Sat shri akal aunty ji"Arjun greeted Kudrat's mother while entering in the hall.
"Sat shri akal puttar ji"she wished him back and smiled .
"Uncle kithe ne?(uncle kahan hai?)He asked looking here and there.
"Oh taan haige ni ghe ghre( vo toh nahin hain abhi ghar pe)"she said.
"Acha main chalda ha pher(main chalta hu pher.)"He said and got up to leave.
"Beh ja beh ja. Chah pike jaayi( baith ja. Chai pike jaayio)"she said to him.
Arjun was about to say no when he saw Kudrat coming downstairs with her book in her one hand and water bottle in the other one.
She was wearing cute strain spectacles and was looking very sweet.Arjun couldn't help it and smiled.
Kudrat hadn't notice Arjun yet and was humming some song when her eyes caught his sight and she looked at him with surprise.
Arjun smiled more when she widened her eyes after seeing him.
He was missing Kudrat. His best friend. He wanted to talk to her. About his life, Jasmine and many more things.
Meeting Rajveer Uncle was a mere excuse to get a sight of Kudrat. He cursed himself many times for thinking like this but then he couldn't help it and landed here, in her home..
"Tuc?(aap?)"Kudrat asked him.
"Uncle nu milan aaya c( uncle se milne aaya tha)"Arjun replied..
"Ohkay!"She said.
She was trying hard to get a grip on her emotions and she thought she became successfull in it but one sight of him and all the memories came back in blink of an eye.
She thought she will be able to cope up with everything but she was wrong. This was not so easy as she was thinking it to be. But then Kudrat was never afraid of her problems. She get tensed, she cry but then she always stand up like never before.
"Bde din ho gaye tainu mile. I miss you"Arjun confessed looking at her and sensed something different in her eyes.
Kudrat remained silent but her eyes were speaking volumes and Arjun was trying to measure them.
"What was that? That was not normal. Jo ohdiyan akhan ch dekhya oh ki siga!!( jo uski aankhon mein dekha vo kya tha?)"Arjun asked himself.
Arjun didn't know what it was ? What he saw in Kudrat's eyes !! He was unknown from such emotions or gestures. He never witnessed something like in someone's eyes for himself.
In all these thoughts,Arjun left her home after having a cup of tea with Kudrat and her mother.
