Wajood

Chapter 18 : Karan - Arjun

That was a round dining table...covered with a red sheet....along with few delicious dishes prepared by Rajveer who was sitting there with his eyes stuck on her....
How could he take it off as they deserves to be pasted there....

Vivaan pinching Rajveer's arm,
" Saale, paratha khudke liye bhi leliyoo...
khalii khaanch ka plate khayega tu???...."
He scolded his pyaare Bhai teasing him with a small smile lingering on the side of his lips....

Not moving his eyes from her who too was catching his loving gazes, he raised his hand into the casserole only to get brushed against another pair of fingers.....

Once he looked at the paratha then at the owner of those fingers, 'Naveen' with nothing but a pair of complaining eyes,
And withdrew his hand bowing his head....

Both the Karan - Arjun of the story were again infront of each other, with broken hearts....
There was a time, when their hearts were beated with a hope of meeting each other....
There was a time, when their hearts craved to talk, gossip, fight and dance with each other...
There was a time, when both gave up pumping their blood, just because other one stopped....

Now.....
There is just silence....not knowing how to re circulate the flow of blood, regular emotions...
Stagnancy is taken the place of their all basic senses....letting the blood to clot...
Letting the emotions to stand still...

Karan - Arjun...
Now the name was lost....in the vast space of misunderstanding, ego, guilt and self respect....

Naina sensed the situation and stood up....
As her hand was too short to reach parathas, she bent a little to grab them...

Naveen holding her hands, made her sit,
" Gudiya, dhyan se....
Itna jhuka na Kar.... Tu aaram se bait,
tujhko kyaa chahiye mujhe bolde, main dedeta hu...."
He made the trio shiver with his high intensified voice....

That hyperness dissolved in his voice was telling another story....

Naina - " Woh Paratha.... "
She pointed them.... carefully sitting back...

Naveen nodded at her words and placed two parathas in her plate with lots subzi not forgetting to fill his ones...

Naina - " Bhaiyya, garmii lagi he....woh fan.."
She asked making a puppy face....and Vivaan tried to get up....

But stopped as he received signals Naina's eyes sending at them.... He didn't understand at first, then got what his Bhabhi must be saying.....

Naveen walking ahead, started to find the switch box and turned around to ask Vivaan for it.....

And saw.....

Naina - " Aap yeh loo...."
She whispered and
quickly exchanged her plates with Rajveer not before taking all the gobi's from his plate...
She loves it... And transfered all the Mirchi to his ones...

Rajveer shook his head with a thumping heart that is, trying to jump off his rib cage.... He smiled a little, wiping off a loan tear ready to escape his eye....
How he yearned to live this little moments!
Indeed it has been a long time not living in these nirvanic moments when she makes him forget, all the worries of the world... She makes him feel special, Loved, pampered...
He isn't alone in this world. He has her...
His Naina....
Only His Naina....
