The Angst

Kuhu and Kunal stood up in shock...Niharika was saying sorry but Kuhu somehow knew it was intentional.Kunal tried to clean Kuhu's dress with his handkerchief but it was red wine after all.
Kuhu: Its okay Kunal. Mai abhi jakr ise saaf kr leti hun.
Kunal: As you wish Kuhu...koi help chahie hogi thn call me.
Kuhu: Haan.. (and she goes to the washroom)

Abhimaan was noticing them since long and as soon as he saw Kuhu going there alone he was quick on getting after her.
Kuhu was cleaning her dress, thankfully it was a dark red- maroonish dress so the stain wasn't that visible but the area near her abdomen was wet.
She was engrossed in her work so she didn't notice Abhimaan getting in and closing the door.When she looked up she saw him standing behind her in the mirror.

kuhu: (turning around) Tumm..See Abhimaan I am not going to listen to any of your crap.
Abhi: Coming closer to her...
Kuhu: Let me go..and she tries to reach the door
Abhimaan blocked her and said "Common Kuhu lets have some fun...Let your boyfriend see how loyal you are"
There was knocking on the door but Abhimaan was ignoring it.

Kuhu: (jerking off) What do you want !!..Listen sorry if you felt insulted of me breaking the alliance ..pr hum dono ek sahi match..
Abhimaan: (cuts her off) Listen....I never take a no. And he holds her arms and comes nearer.
Kuhu tries to call Kunal..But Abhimaan sees that and he throws her phone breaking it

Kuhu: (almost crying now) Please...let me go..please.
Abhimaan: not that soon sweetheart...and he was almost going to kiss her neck.
When sudennly the doors bangs open.
Kunal: Kuhu ... And he was shocked seeing him so near her and then he notices Kuhu crying..
Kuhu breaks down screaming Kunall...falling on her knees and Abimaan leaves her and stands aside being all scared.
Kunal runs to her but before making her stand he punches Abhimaan real hard.
Kunal: How dare you...bastard. (and Abhi falls) Kuhu utho..I'm here..utho kuhu and he was hurting seeing her crying like this.
Kunal after a lot of tries makes her stand up.And he soon catches Abhi trying to run away from there.

Kunal: (Punching him 2-3 times) You bloody hell..I am gonna kill you but kuhu stops her.He wasn't that easy to be stopped but Kuhu begged her to stop.
Some of Kunal's friends arrive there and calms him down.Abhimaan was leaving when Kunal says.
Kunal: Mr.Abhimaan Verma I will make sure you suffer enough loss to make you repent for your deeds.
Abhimaan was scared but he thought better not to say anything now and leave.
*****
Abir and Mishti were lost in each other ..they were very close and were enjoying the dance being in each others arm.
Abir slide her hair strands behind her left ear.
And whispered huskily to her ear..rubbing his cheeks with hers.
Abir: Are you enjoying the dance Angry chorni
Mishti just nodded ..her cheeks flushing with a crimson red.

And suddenly his phone rang.It was Kunal he excused himself from his safe heaven, Went to a safe distance and answered the call..
Kunal told Abir about everything. He wanted him to not tell anything to Mishti as Kuhu has requested.But Kunal needed him with Kuhu until he brings his car from the parking lot. Abir at once agreed however he was feeling upset of hiding something from Mish.

Mishti: Kya hua Abir.
Abir: Wo kuch nhi Mishti actually Kunal ko meri zarurat thi ek business work k lie so he wants me to come for sometime.
Mishti: Haan haan to chalo chalte hai
Abir: No..Mai abhi aata hun tum yahi ruko.
Mishti: Okay as you wish...waise bhi yahan jyada accha lag rha hai.
Abir was leaving when Mishti said "Ajeeb Rajvansh I'll wait jaldi aana" and Abir smiled at her and walked away.

It was alomst late night so there were not many people.
Mishti was sitting on a nearby bench checking her phone.She was seeing pics of her and Abir and was smiling when a hand offered her drink.She looked up to see who he was.
Vishal: Hey !! Beautiful..how are you?
Mishti: I 'm in no mood to have a chit chat right now.
Vishal: ohh Common dear...I am no less charming than your friend.So what's the problem.
Mishti: (was walking away when he held her hand) What the hell...Leave me and she jerked off her hand.
Vishal: well I was being nice to and now you are so rude.
Mishti: Whatever ...and she again tried to walked away.
Vishal: (holding her wrist again and making her fall on his chest) I know better ways to get to you.
Mish: (she was scared and disgusted she tried yo be free but he was strong) Leave me you ..
He was getting close to her neck and shoulder when Abir punched him.
Abir: how dare you ?and he started beating him.
Vishal was trying to save himself but Abir was angry as hell..Mish was shocked seeing him so mcuh angry for the first time.
Abir: (while punching him) If you ever touch her ..if you ever see her like that...or any girl. I will kill you and he was stopped by some men around.
He wasn't calming down and Vishal was also scared.So he ran away.
Mish: (cupping his face) Abir..r abirr...meri taraf dekho ..please shaant ho jao please ...Abir calm down please.
Abir: Mishti...how dare he touch you ..how dare he.(his eyes were reflecting fire)
Mishti: I know Abir tum gussa ho..but please calm down. And tears were flowing from her eyes.She was scared, Not only because she was being touched by a disgusting man but she can't see him like that.She was in awe with the chirpy sweet and smiling Abir.And it was now evident that he was hurting that the anger was not just anger it was hurt too. He was hurt and scared too for HER.

Abir saw her tears and instantly became calm.He was regretting his rage his anger..He had scared her.He was hurt and disgusted by himself.He couldn't protect her.He just wanted to be there for her.

Mishti seeing he has calmed down hugged him very tightly and Abir too needed her ...He only needed her.He hugged her back even more tightly.
*********
Kuhu was still sobbing, however she has a bit calmed down but the sight of the incident was unforgettable and not so soon.Kunal was hurt seeing her hurt.He wanted to comfort her to hug her tight and say I am here for you Kuhu always.But all he can do right now is to drive properly. He suddenly stopped the car and Kuhu realising the car has stopped looked at him questioning.

Kunal came out and open her side of door.She was just coming out after removing her seatbelt when Kunal just picked her up in his arms.And closed the door with his legs.Kuhu was shocked and was about to question him "Kunall.." to which Kunal just Sshhhed her.

He took her to a park and kept her down only when they reached their destination - a wooden bench.Kuhu was blushing by his actions.They both sat there hand in hand. Kuhu kept her head on his shoulder and Kunal comforted her by rubbing the back of her palm with his thumb...making letters and circles and stars ...
************

Mishti and Abir had an awkward silence between them.They were walking to his car and Mish was feeling cold now.Abir just took off his jacket and wrapped it around her.He was adoring his cute little mishti in his oversized jacket. Suddenly Mish's leg twisted and she was about to fall when Abir held her.

Mish: Aaah..
Abir: Mishti ...ek min and (he goes on his knees and checks her ankle) Tumhe moch aayi hai lag rha hai?
Mishti: Aahh..Abir bht dard ho rha hai.
Abir then stands up and picks her in his arms without uttering anything.
Mishti: Abir ye tum kya kr rhe ho.
Abir: Sshhh...bilkul chup
Mish follows his order and stays quiet.She was near his beautifully crafted face and it was terribly hard to take her eyes off him. She was soaking in this beautiful creature in her eyes whereas Abir kept walking suppressing his smile which was because she was so close to him.

Mish was feeling his hands on her waist and near her thigh.It was giving her butterflies all over her body.The warmth his hands provided was something noone can provide.She was enjoying his grip on her.
And he just wanted to keep her so close for the rest of their lives.

Abir made Mish sit in the car and tucked her with the seatbelt.While tucking her they were very close Mishti's lip nearly brushed his cheek and hair and she shut her eyes supressing his effects on her.
Abir seated himself and started driving.It was a lonely road and a deep silence surrounded them so he played the radio.He was glancing over Mish every now and then and when he saw she is lost looking out the window, he just took her right hand and pressed it with his.They kept holding hands; even if he needed to change the gear he wouldn't leave her hand for a mere second.
Mish was smiling softly and he was just turning to her every minute.
And the song played

Shayad kabhi na keh sakoon main tumko
Kahe bina samajh lo tum shayad
Shayad mere khayal mein tum ik din
Milo mujhe kahin pe ghum shayad

Jo tum na ho... rahenge hum nahin
Jo tum na ho... rahenge hum nahin
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahin

And Mishti's gripped tightened over his hand and Abir in response held her hand more strongly. They both were smiling not facing each other.

Jo tum na ho... toh hum bhi hum nahi
Jo tum na ho... toh hum bhi hum nahi
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahin

Aankhon ko khaab dena
Khud hi sawaal karke
Khud hi jawaab dena teri taraf se
Bin kaam kaam karna
Jaana kahin ho chaahe
Har baar hi guzarna teri taraf se

Kunal cupped Kuhu's face and kissed her forehead.
Kunal: Tumhe darne ki zarurat nhi hai Kuhu mai kisiko bhi tumhe chot pahunchane nhi dunga.
Kuhu:I thought tum mjhe uske saath dekh kr trust nhi kroge.You will #hate me
Kunal: Tum na bilkul stupid ho ....I tust you and I will keep trusting you
And they both hugged.

Ye koshishein toh hongi kam nahin
Ye koshishein toh hongi kam nahin
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahin

Jo tum na ho... rahenge hum nahin
Jo tum na ho... toh hum bhi hum nahin
Na chahiye kuch tum se zyada tum se kam nahin
