CONFESSIONS - ADIZA TS( COMPLETED)

PART-I

Hello !!

Thank You for giving this a chance.This will be in Zain's PoV.

"As-salaam Walaikum Zainu , How you have been ?"

"Walaikum As-salaam Gullu, I am fine but very busy in shooting  , Why were you not responding to my calls ?"

" Wo..., I also have been pretty busy in shooting since morning ," said Gullu with a slight hesitation in her voice.

"Oh , I thought that you have also forgotten me like a certain someone," I said under my breath.

"What ??"

"Nothing , So was there a particular reason for which you called me ?"

"Actually Yes , Tomorrow ' s night ,we are keeping a get together . Its been long since we all have met . You will come right . "

"Of course Gullu , No way I m going to miss the delicious food . "

"Okay then , I will call you later  . Loads of love and bye Zainu."

Why was Gullu sounding so worried and in hurry ?? 

" Zain , get ready for the shot, " shouted the director of my show disrupting my thoughts.

"Yes,coming "

I guess I will have to talk to her tomorrow.

A day later

Picking up Abhi from his apartment , we both headed towards Gullu's house.Though I had decided to reach before two hours but waking up Abhi from his ' Khumbkaran ' sleep itself took half an hour and another half an hour for his lazy body to get ready , So I had only one hour now and I needed to talk to Gullu about the cause of her worry.

Reaching her apartment , Abhi ringed the bell and we both waited for Gullu to open the door since Ali had gone out of station .

As soon as the door opened , I launched myself at Gullu . Hugging her really tight and kissing her cheek quite noisily , I said , " As-salaam Walaikum Gullu ".

Why was Gullu feeling so thin in my arms ? Even her skin was quite soft beneath my lips?

Abhi's monstrous laugh pulled me out of my reverie and I released Gullu to find a completely surprised and flushed Aditi staring back at me.

" Kya yaar Zain!! That's why I tell you to keep your excitement level low but you never listen to me ." Abhi said in his annoying voice .

Quickly saying a very quiet 'sorry' to Aditi  which I am not sure she would have heard , I absentmindedly went inside.

I went to the balcony and held the railing very tightly in my hands to stop my overwhelming emotions.

To say I was shocked would be an understatement . There was a rush of feelings in my veins .

I was happy seeing her after whole five months .

I was relieved after seeing her safe and sound .

I was angry with her for not being in touch with me .

But above all, I was afraid .

What if she has forgotten all those beautiful moments between us ?

What if she has fallen for someone from her home town ?

What if she is getting married to someone her family has chosen?

The day when we had done our last gift segment in January was the last day I had seen her. Everything was fine till that day . Though we never talked about it yet it was pretty clear that there was something between us .

Something special.

Something beautiful.

Something which I had never felt before.

Something about which I know now.

Something which I wanted to confess after coming from Vietnam but didn't got a chance.

Something which was also clear in her  beautiful eyes.

Then suddenly what happened ? Why she suddenly went back to her family ? Why she didn't pick my calls ? Even if she picked , she was not herself . Its been three months since we last talked . She didn't call me even on my birthday . Just a message .What happened that she suddenly detached herself from me?

The train of my thoughts was broken by Gullu's concerned and worried voice.

"Zainu ???"

I tightly shut my eyes to stop the treacherous tears and despite taking a deep breath could only mutter , "Hmm.."

" I am really sorry Zain. Aditi came back yesterday and I didn't tell you . "

Plastering a smile on my face , I turned and said , " No Gullu , why are you saying Sorry ? Its clear that I am not someone important to her otherwise she would have called me or responded to my calls . Let it be Gullu ."

After not getting any reply , I continued , " Gullu , our show's director just messaged me and asked me to meet him urgently. I need to go there."

I knew that Gullu knew I was not telling truth but still she gave me an understanding nod .

I hugged her and said," Thank You for always being there for me ."

Stroking my hairs , she said ," I understand your feelings but please calm yourself and don't let your anger rule your love."

I nodded and went from there to a place which I was sure would help me in calming myself.

How was it ?
