Teju " Bappa bachalo, please bachalo "
She was shivering and sat in a secluded placed surrounded by bushes and trees. She was chanting her bappa name in fear, her face was all red due to her crying, she was weeping silent not making any noise.
Teja " sunny, sunny ka kya hoga, please I want to be with him bappa, please bachalo mereko "
She heard someone scream and her chest tighten in fear, she want to live, she don't want to die, she closed her eyes and refreshed all the time he spent with her from big boss till now.
.....................................................................
On the other side, he was going mad, he dont know where she is, she was missing, he want to see her, hug her, feel her. That's when his soul will be fine.
Karan " Omi, did u asked the local police station about the cottage "
Omi " Yes bhai, it's 10 kms away from here, it's a tourist cottage and thy generally party till late night but no stay there "
Karan " Let's get there, right now. Arrange a cab "
Omi nodded and Karan looked his essentials, like his ID card and some cash with him. He walked outside, omi was speaking to someone, his face was pale and he was blank.
Karan " Omi, chale "
Omi looked at him and said something to him which made him freeze.
Nik " Cab nahi milrahe hai iske wajase"
Karan looked at him, he was about to cry but them omi hugged him.
Omi " kuch nahi hoga bhai, she will be fine. We need to reach there somehow "
Nik also hugged him and they started calling different travel agency for cab.
.....................................................................
Teju was sitting with her eyes closed, she heard shuffling of bushes, she kept her palm on her mouth to lower her sniffing sound, she doesn't want to get caught. She relaxed when she noticed it stopped.
She remembered how she came here and everything happened in a blink.
She was in her room lying in her pyjamas watching his serial 'Tere ishq mei ghayal " when her door knocked. She opened it to see the girls clan all ready in their party attires.
Adda " what the hell teju meine itna kuch bola aur tu ready nahi. Just chuck everything and come teju, we will enjoy today "
Teju " no adda mood nahi please.. Tum log jao "
Adda did her emotional drama " you don't love me anymore teju, I m requesting you this much and you r still adamant on your decision. Kya ab mei tere dost nahi hu.. Remember how we used to do all this night out, ab kya hogaya tujhe "
Teju felt bad seeing her like this, she sighed.
Teju " wait mei sunny ko call Karti hu "
Adda took her phone before she could do anything and Teju glared her.
Adda " we will inform him later, if u do now, he will deny straightaway and you will not come. Come on Teju, har bar usko puchna zaruri hai kya , he is your boyfriend, not your guardian, abhi jao get ready "
Teju " he is my everything, not just my boyfriend, don't say anything like this again "
She walked to get ready, she knows how stubborn her friend was, she will get her phone back soon and will text him about everything.
She walked back in her loose comfy jumpsuit.
Adda " iss pe aaogi tum "
Teju " isme kya pblm, now time nahi horaha tereko.. Just leave, we need to come back soon, adda I m serious about it "
Adda rolled her eyes and Teju was scared, she don't know why but she is not feeling good about this.
They reached the place, she was surprised to see a cottage at a isolated place set up in a ancient way in a hut style and people are dancing, drinking and bonfire was set up. If it was another day, she would have enjoyed, she is totally blank today and she couldn't find any excitement in her.
One of her costar went ahead and talked about the booking and they showed them their private booking place to party, there was one waitress to take care of their needs.
Their room was attached to a lawn and there was Bon fire set up. Everyone started drinking, dancing to their own tune, Teju felt something missing inside her, she wrapped her shawl around her, walked to lawn. She tried to take her phone back from adda, but it failed.
Teju " I miss you sunny "
Unknowingly tears flow down, she don't know y she was crying but she was missing him, she just want to be with him now.
Adda saw her alone and went to her, she was shocked to see her crying.
Adda " Teju why r u crying, tell me baba "
She cupped Teju cheeks, Teju nodded no and cried more.
Teju " I miss him adda, I can't, I can't be here anymore. Please, I want to be with him, I want to see him, I want him.. "
Adda was surprised to see her crying like this, she immediately fished her phone e from her pocket and gave it to Teju.
Adda " I m really sorry, I thought u will be happy coming her, I thought you will forget everything for sometime and enjoy, but i forgot now my Teju is completely smitten by her sunny, she just need him and only him. Sorry for forcing you to come here, I dont know you will be a mess like this "
Teju held her hands " it's not like that, it's a bottled up emotions adda, this is longest time we have been away from each other and this distance is making us crave more. Mei uski bina kuch nhi kar paunga. I don't enjoy when he is not there with me, I m already missing him and this is making me more. I m sorry, I love your arrangements but I m just not in a mood for it now "
Adda nodded and left her alone for sometime. Teju tried calling Karan but the network is not available and she was pissed to core.
Teja " f*** this network now. "
She typed message about everything and send him but it wasn't sent. She sighed and looked into the dark sky glowing under the bonfire light.
Soon she heard someone scream, she heard people rushing screaming for help and asking them to get out of this place soon, she walked into cottage and saw her friend who looked paranoid,they started running. Adda held Teju hands and rushed her outside, she was running with Teju who was blank like whats happening.
Teju " bolo adda what's happening, y r we running, kyu bagrahe sab "
Adda " Teju, it's "
She shrieked and Teju eyes saw the direction, she screamed at the sight in front of her.
Teju whispered " Leopard "
.....................................................................
Karan , omi and nik reached the place with a help of local person who agreed to help them after so many pleading from Karan.
They saw the cottage and police were enquiring about the incident, they saw the cottage owner was giving them details and seeing them Karan ran to them.
Karan " hello inspector, I m Karan kundrra"
Ins " Hello sir, yes I know. Aap yahan ? "
Karan " My wife and her costars came here for a party, I couldn't contact her, I don't know where she is, what happened here "
Ins " you mean tejasswi mam was here? Oh God. Sir, there was leopard attack this evening, 4 had been killed and few were injured, people rushed to hide in different places, since this place is isolated and people might have run into the jungle nearby, we don't know how many were there. That's the reason we r asking them about the list of people "
Omi " did u caught the leopard "
Karan looked at them wanting them to say yes but it didn't happen, they sighed and nodded no.
Ins " our team is searching for it, people saw it ran down the jungle in east, we r worried about the people who r hiding there. We will try our best sir, don't worry. Excuse me "
Karan slumped back, he was blank, what if she is there hiding, what if something happened to her, What if she is injured, she must be crying, she must be wanting him, she must be chanting her bappa now, she must be scared to the core.
Nik " bhai, kuch nahi hoga bhabhi ko.. Please aap hope Rakho, bappa will keep her safe "
Karan held the pendent of bappa in his chain locket, it was given by her on Valentine's Day, she wanted him to be safe and sound, that's y she made him wear bappa pendent.
He clutched the pendent tightly " please make sure she is safe, please " he whispered with tears glistening.
paas aaye..
dooriyaan phir bhi kam naa huin
ek adhoori si hamaari kahaani rahi
aasmaan ko zameen, ye zaroori nahi
jaa mile.. jaa mile..
ishq sachcha wahi
jisko milti nahi manzilein.. manzilein
.....................................................................
Teju and adda ran from the sight of leopard and they ran in different direction, now she was hiding in a secluded place, she is praying for everyone safety.
Teju held her ring which was given by him " I m sorry, I know I made a mistake coming here, you will get angry at me for this, but I have no options left sunny. I think bappa is punishing me like this. Please bappa, maaf karo mujhe. Keep everyone safe "
She closed her eyes and him kissing her forehead came in front of her and a small smile adorned her face.
Karan " mere hote huye tujhe kuch nahi hoga, I will protect you, no matter what "
She could hear him saying this, she cried
" par tu yahan nahi hai sunny, you r not here to protect me, I need you sunny "
rang thay, noor tha
jab kareeb tu tha
ek jannat sa tha, ye jahaan
waqt ki ret pe kuch mere naam sa
likh ke chhoD gaya tu kahaan
.....................................................................
hamari adhoori kahani..
hamari adhoori kahani..
Karan felt like she was calling him, he closed his eyes
Teju " agar mujhe kuch hogaye toh, what if I get in some trouble and you were not there with me "
Karan " I will reach you before something happen to you, i will protect you hamesha"
Teju " I know sunny, you will not let anything happen to me "
He opened his eyes in a jerk and stood up from the place he was sitting.
khushbuon se teri yoon hi Takra gaye
chalte chalte dekho na hum kahaan aa gaye
Karan " I can't be sitting like this, she trust me, she trust me that I will protect her, she need me now, aur mei yahan beiti hu simply. I need to find her, I won't let anything happen to her, I need to find my love "
Omi " bhai, no...Don't do anything in hurry. Police are searching for everyone, we don't know where she is, leopard is still not caught, where you will go and search her. Stop kidding bhai "
Karan " you want me to sit here and wait till they find them. Agar usko kuch hua na mei nahi reh paungi. Mei dundne jaare hu.. "
Omi "Bhai please try to understand "
Karan " nahi sunna mujhe kuch, biwi hai voh meri, aur voh dard mei hai. She need me, y r u not understanding omi "
He walked to the inspector, omi was about to stop him but nik hold his hand and signed him no.
He talked with the inspector, he denied him in the beginning but Karan persuaded him with lot of pleading and then he agreed to send Karan with the team.
Omi insisted that he will come with Karan, he said no but omi was not less than his brother in stubborness.
Omi " bhabhi hai meri. Aunga mei "
Karan , omi and a team of four entered in the east jungle, they were walking with caution not to alert the leopard which was roaming in there.
.....................................................................
Teju opened her eyes, she heard the shuffling sound again, she was terrified, she hided herself more, she pulled her knees closer and kept her head buried in her knees. She looked ahead and there's is none. She sighed and heaved a sigh of relief.
She let her head fall back and cried silently.
jannatein agar yaheen
tu dikhe kyon nahi
chaand suraj sabhi hai yahaan
intezaar tera sadiyon se kar raha
pyaasi baiThi hai kab se yahaan
hamari adhoori kahaani
Karan was looking here and there, for a small glimpse of her, he was very cautious and the team was also searching. They heard some shuffling sound and the team signalled the duo to hide, they hide behind a tree, their eyes came out of socket. They never saw the leopard so close, it was closer to them.
He signalled omi to be quiet and the leopard was walking in their direction, the team nodded their head within each other and pointed their injection filled with anesthesia in the direction of leopard. They could hear a whimper sound and they jumped in to see the leopard laying half conscious. The team injected another dose of drug to him and they called the main team to take the leopard.
Karan " thank you sir , I will search for my wife then "
Team " Karan sir, we dont know if it's just this leopard or some more are there. Pleas be careful, our two members will come with you "
They nodded and walked further, they heard someone crying , they walked in the direction ,they pushed the leaves and it was adda, she was holding a child in her arms. She was crying and adda was trying to control her tears.
Karan " adda "
She was surprised to see him there and she immediately hugged him being scared.
Karan " relax adda everything is fine. You two come with us "
She nodded and they also find some more people.
Team " sir I think teja mam is not here, we need to look her for somewhere. Let's leave from here sir "
He was controlling his tears, y can't she be here and he just take her in his arms.
Omi " they r right bhai, may be bhabhi ran in some other direction after she and adda split "
Karan nodded no " I can feel her omi, she is near "
He closed his eyes and whispered
" Come to me laddoo, please "
His tears were flowing by now and everyone were emotional seeing him. Omi hugged him and he cried harder.
Karan " mujhe meri teja Chahiye, she is fine na omi, kuch nahi hua hoga na usse. I want to see my laddoo.. omi please bring her to me "
Adda " I m sorry Karan, I don't know all this will happen, I m really sorry "
She was crying and he was least bothered about it now. Omi pulled him along with them and they were walking back.
pyaas ka ye safar khatam ho jaayega
kuch adhoora sa jo tha poora ho jaayega
He heard some shuffling sound nearby, he frowned bcoz there is no animal moving there, he left omi hands and walked to the direction of the sound He pushed the leaves and walked ahead, he was shocked and surprised to see the sight in front of him
Karan " laddooo"
.....................................................................
She heard some noise, she assumed it to be her last day, she was crying thinking about everything and especially her sunny.
Teja pov " I feel you sunny, I don't know y, I feel you r here. But how can you be here, you r miles apart from me. Mujhe maaf kardo, I shouldn't have come here. Please move on if something happen to me, take care my love, I love you sunny "
She cried silently, the noise stopped but she gasped sensing something, she turned to her side and there was a snake infront of her. She gasped, but kept quiet not wanting to make it obvious, she held her breath and she saw the snake crawling on her feet, she didn't make any movement, just remained still.
She felt her heart thudding, she was feeling him, near to her.
She heard someone whispered " laddoo " and she can never forget who it was.
jhuk gaya aasmaan
mil gaye do jahaan
.....................................................................
He saw her finally, she was staring at him, she was crying, he was about to move to her when she signalled him no, he was confused and then looked down, he gasped seeing the snake crawling on her feet. She asked him to be quiet, the rest of them also came following him and Karan signalled everyone to be quiet, his eyes were vulnerable and he could see she was scared, she just faced the worst nightmare and now this.
The team slowly moved to her, they caught the snake and put them in their bag, he rushed to her and she stood up and hugged him tightly.
har taraf hai milan ka samaa
Doliyaan hain saji, khushbuein har kaheen
paDhne aaya khuda khud yahaan..
Teja " sunny... Sunnyyyy"
She was just chanting his name crying and he was rubbing her back to calm her down.
Karan " agaya mei jaan, aagya.. Please stop crying my love "
He was kissing her head time to time, she sloppe on his shoulder and he picked her up immediately.
Karan " wada kiya tume meine, I will never let anything happen to you, before you I will be facing it..how will I not be there when u need me tejuu"
She nodded and kissed his heart, she was scared and only his comfort will make her fine.
hamari adhuri kahaani
hamari adhuri kahaani..
.....................................................................
They reached the resort back and he placed her on bed. She saw him who was silent all the while, she know he was more scared and hurt, she looked at everyone, adda was giving her a weak smile, she was guilty of everything, omi and nik were scared and then her sunny, she doesn't know what's going on with him.
Teja " sunny "
Karan " Do u love me teja "
He break the silence and she knew the question was serious, he wasn't kidding.
Teja " behadh pyaar karti hu tumse sunny"
She tried to hold his hands but he pulled away
Karan " no u don't, otherwise you wouldn't have pulled this stunt on me. Am I overshadowing you, kya meine kabhi tujhe bina waje kuch karne keliye roka, then y did u do this. Ek bar mujhe batadeti aise jaarahe hu.. Upar se ur phone was switched off "
Teju " sunny, listen to me, it's not"
He held her chin with his fingers
" kyu sunu mei ab, jab batana tha Tab nahi bataya na. Ab kyu sunu mei.. Pata hai jaan chali gaye meri jab tu nahi milrahe hai.. You know the worst was coming on my mind and I thought I lost you "
Teju cupped his cheeks " sunny, calm down I m fine.. See.. Please I can't see you like this "
Karan jerked her hands " keep your fake concern to yourself, khabardar u do this again. Listen, tu meri hai. U don't have any rights to go away from me. Agar aise kuch karna hai phele mujhe marde phir kare. I don't want to die every minute like I was few hours ago.. "
He left the room and she was crying. Ada left behind him, she need to explain him that teja is no where at fault.
Omi " bhabhi please don't cry. He is just hurt... Bohot dara diya aapne unne. He was vulnerable, I ever saw him like this. He didn't care about his life. He just wanted you to be safe. "
Teju " I know omi, trust me I denied them every possible way, they took my phone and wanted me to come. Unki bhi galti nahi, they didn't know this would happen. Phir bhi, he must be so scared for me, I hurt my sunny.. "
She sobbed and nik hugged her
Nik " please aap roh mat. Hum manalenge unne ..dont cry like this. I want my badass teju bhabhi, we will not leave him till he forgive us okay.. Please don't cry, voh kahan jayenge, apni laddoo ki paas hi ayenge na, sunny ki laddoo"
She nodded with a cute smile and they started telling her about everything.
.....................................................................
Karan was outside in the lawn away from her room smoking , he sensed someone and turned to see adda.
Adda " Karan I want to talk to you "
Karan " You forced her to come, didn't you "
He asked making her shocked , she nodded and he gave her a smile.
Karan " mei apni laddoo ko janti hu adda, she can't deny when someone turn emotional infront of her. She will do anything to make other smile. I m hurt that she didn't find it important to tell me once "
Adda " I m sorry I don't know this would happen, please don't be mad at her, I took her phone and it was with me for sometime. I gave her later and she immediately tried calling you but network nahi tha wahan. "
He sighed, he knows she will never do like that, he was very scared of losing her and he uttered shit inside.
Karan " Adda, I know you love her , she is your bestie, trust me I don't have any problem with her spending time with you. even I asked her to be with you guys. At the same time, if I m restricting her for something then it's for her safety and I can't risk anything. I know how she was before and how she is now. I denied her because, it was late night party and I don't want her to go in unknown place. We don't know what might happen. To enjoy your life is different, at the same time just think once that y others are denying you. Not everyone are male chauvinistic to restrict you for their ego, some genuinely care and want to protect their loved ones. Don't mistake everyone. I may not be her guardian, but she is my everything, she is the oxygen to my life "
Adda " You know Karan, I never saw her like his. She always make her environment lively, she always enjoy when we party together but today she was very lost. She was missing you. She was crying there and thats when I realize voh tere bina nahi repaugi. She managed to smile in set but alone, she always thinks about you and she missed you like hell.. Talk to her and please don't be mad at her. It's my mistake not hers "
He nodded and turned, she walked away taking the cue. He wanted to go to her, hug her and kiss her but something was stopping him. He expect her to manao him this time. He wanted assurance from her that she won't leave him. She will be with him for lifetime.
He closed his eyes, the sight infront of him , her scared eyes were making him tremble and in a blink he was walking back to their room.. He opened it with a thud and hugged her tightly. Omi and Nik left the room closing and the night is still long...
