As the next few days flew by in the blink of an eye, Teju and Karan savored every moment of their time exploring Cape Town together, despite Karan's work commitments.. However, as the last day of Teju's stay in Cape Town dawned, a somber mood enveloped her.. She couldn't bear the thought of leaving Karan, but the demands of her Marathi movie schedule left her with no choice.. With a heavy heart, she began packing her belongings, with Karan lending a helping hand..
Karan : Laddoo.. Pass me those pair of socks..
Teju looked at him with a pout, her lips forming a slight curve as she tossed the socks in his direction.. It directly landed on his face
Teju : tuje maza aa raha hai na.. Main kal jaa rahi hun aur tu bohot khushi khushi sab kuch pack kar raha hai.. Korangu (bandhar)
Karan chuckled hearing Korangu (Bandhar) coming from her lips after such a long time.. He gently pulled her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her and resting his chin on her shoulder..
Karan : Kitne din ke baad tumari muh se Korangu sunne ko mil raha hai.. I want to live those days back where you tease me, and I tease you right back..
As Teju settled into Karan's embrace, she couldn't help but feel a pang of longing for those carefree days they once shared.. she rested her head back, moving closer to him..
Teju : muje bhi jeena hai... Par seriously, Sunny, tell me.. Won't you miss me?..
He tightened his hold around her and replied softly..
Karan : hmm.. bohot miss karunga..
His words were soft, carrying the weight of his genuine feelings.. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips..
Teju : I'll miss you too, Sunny... More than you'll ever know.. I don't want to leave, Sunny.. I wish I could stay longer with you..
He kissed her shoulder and tightened his hold..
Karan : I know laddoo.. I wish you could stay too.. But your movie schedule won't wait for us na..
Teju : muje nahi jana hai.
Tears welled up in her eyes, spilling over as she turned to him and hugged him tightly, wetting his shirt with her tears..
Karan : Aww.. My baby.. Kyun roh rahi hai?.. Bass ek month aur.. Shoot katam ho jayega, aur main bhi aa jaunga tumare paas..
She shook her head to no and wrapped her legs around his waist, holding onto him as if she could stop time itself..
Teju : Main nahi jaungi..
Karan : Laddoo.. Dekh idhar..
Karan gently lifted her chin, guiding her to meet his gaze.. Cupping her cheeks in his hands, he caressed them tenderly..
Karan : Idhar dekh..
She met his gaze, her eyes reddened and brimming with tears.. He gently wiped away her tears.. Leaning in, he pressed a soft kiss to her cheeks..
Karan : Sun.. Abh humare beech jo bhi issues the, sab kuch solve hogaya.. Right?..
She nodded.. He continued to rub her cheeks soothingly as he spoke to her..
Karan : abh hum aur strong rahenge na.. Together, we can overcome anything that comes our way.. Ye thodi din ke dooriyan, hume apne bareme bohot kuch samjhane me help karega.. Tume apne insecurities aur fears se ladne ki strength dega.. Tu dekhna, jab main vaapas aaunga, tab tu bohot alag rahegi..
Teju : muje kuch change nahi karna hai.. main apne Sunny ka Laddoo hi rahungi..
Karan smiled at his choti baby..
Karan : abh kon bol raha ki tu tumare Sunny ke Laddoo nahi hai.. Tu hai, Humesha rahegi.. Par insaan ko personal growth ke liye evolve karna bhi zaroori hai na... Tu nahi chahti ki hum hamesha ek dusre ke saath, bina koi problems ke, apni zindagi bitaye?
Teju pondered his words for a moment, realizing what he was trying to make her realize.. she nodded slowly..
Teju : Shayad thodi change chahiye.. Lekin humara pyaar kabhi nahi badlega na?
he playfully tapped his forehead against hers and pulled her close, wrapping his arms around the back of her neck..
Karan : Nahi, Laddoo... Humara pyaar toh humesha waisa hi rahega... Strong, saccha, aur anant..
Teju : Phir thik hai..
As they gazed into each other's eyes, their breaths mingling in the air , an irresistible pull drew them closer.. Without a word, Teju leaned in, capturing his lips in a tender yet passionate kiss.. Their lips met with an intensity of longing, igniting a fire that burned brightly between them.. He responded eagerly, his arms tightening around her as he deepened the kiss, their passion fueling the flames of desire.. Her heart raced as she melted into his embrace, her fingers tangling in his hair, pulling him closer..
Their kiss deepened, each brush of their lips sending electric currents coursing through their bodies.. Lost in the moment, they surrendered to the raw emotion that consumed them, their love manifesting in the heat of their entwined bodies.. Feeling his desire grow, he gently pinched her waist, eliciting a soft moan from Teju.. Seizing the opportunity, he deepened the kiss, his tongue intertwining with hers in a sensual dance.. Time seemed to stand still as they explored each other's mouths, their tongues moving in perfect harmony, their bodies pressed together in an intimate embrace..
And as they finally pulled away, they caught their breath, their foreheads leaned against each other, basking in the warmth of their shared passion..
Teju: I don't want this moment to end..
Karan's gaze softened, his eyes reflecting the depth of his feelings for her.
Karan: Neither do I, Laddoo..
***************************************
Next day, Teju stood at the departure gate, her luggage beside her, her expression heavy with emotion as she prepared to board her flight.. She glanced around the bustling terminal, taking in the familiar sights one last time.. Karan, RanVijay, and Prince stood before her, offering silent support as they prepared to say their goodbyes..
Karan : Laddoo..
Teju looked up, meeting Karan's gaze, her eyes filled with unshed tears.. She choked up, unable to find the words..
Teju : Sunny..
Her voice was barely a whisper, filled with longing and sadness.. He stepped closer, wrapping her in a comforting embrace..
Karan : Take care of yourself, okay?.. Appa, Amma, Maa, Papa sabka khayal rakhna.. Time pe khane khana.. shoot pe kabhi kabhi rest bhi liya kar.. Appa ke saath time spend kar.. Aur Haan.. Appu ne call kiya.. She wants to meet you after you reach Mumbai.. So thoda time nikal kar usse baat karlena.. Jab bhi free rahegi, muje call karna, ok?
She nodded against his chest
Teju : I will Sunny.. I promise..
He pressed a kiss to her forehead.. RanVijay and Prince stood near Karan..
RanVijay: Take care, Teja.. We'll see you again soon.
Prince: Yeah, stay safe bhabhi and have a good journey.
She pulled away from Karan's embrace, wiping away her tears.. She managed a weak smile..
Teju : Thank you guys.. Rann Vijay, thank you so much.. aapne mera bohot help kiya..
Rann Vijay : Rehne de Teja.. Thanks bolke paraya mat kar..
Teju : Prince, thank you to you too.. I'll miss you both..
Karan : Muje miss nahi karegi?
Teju : batana zaruri hai?
She hoisted her handbag onto her shoulder, taking a deep breath to steady herself before turning towards the boarding gate..
Karan: Call me when you land, okay? And take care of yourself..
Teju : haan Sunny.. bye.. bye guys..
She headed towards the boarding gate, dragging her suitcase.. As she disappeared from view, Karan watched her go, his thoughts already counting down the moments until they would be reunited.
***************************************
After 14 hours of journey, Teju finally reached Mumbai.. Parvez was waiting with the car just outside the airport.. As Teju stepped out of the arrival area, she spotted Parvez and couldn't help but smile.. She knew that Karan must have asked Parvez to pick her up.. With a grateful smile and a nod at Parvez, she approached the car and got in.. Parvez started the engine, and they began their journey through the bustling streets of Mumbai.. During the drive, Teju took out her phone and sent a message to Karan, letting him know that she had safely arrived in Mumbai.
Reaching Karan's home, Teju pressed the doorbell. KM opened the door, and a wide smile appeared on her face.
KM: Come, Teju... I was waiting for you only... Satpal, Teju aagayi.
Hearing Teju's name, Karan's father came out from his room.. He approached Teju with a warm smile and engulfed her into a side hug, patting her head affectionately.
KD: Welcome home, Teju beta. It's so good to see you.. How are you ?
Teju returned the hug warmly..
Teju : thik hun papa.. aap kaise ho?.. Amma aur Appa Kahaan hai?..
KM : Voh tumare Appa ka medicines ghar me hi chut gaya.. isliye Ritu bhabi, Omi ke saath gayi hai tumare ghar.. bhaisahab room me hain..
Teju nodded in understanding.
Teju : oh fine.. Aap kaise ho?
KM : I'm super fine, bacha.. Sunny kaisa hai?.. Thik se khana kha raha hai na?
Teju : haan maa.. Sunny bilkul thik hai.. Khana bhi acche se kha raha hai, don't worry..
TD : En Ponnu Vanthuta (Meri bachi aagayi)..
Teju : Appa..
She hugged him and cried a little..
Teju : I'm sorry appa.. Naan unga kita solama poitan (Main aapko bina bataye chali gayi).. I'm sorry..
TD gently patted her back
TD : paravala Teju (koi baat nahi Teju) I can understand.. Tu thik hai na?
Teju : Haan Appa.. Main thik hun.. I missed you and Amma so much.
TD : hum bhi bohot miss kiya tume.. muje bohot tension horaha tha.. Jab Omi ne bataya ki tu Karan ke paas gayi hai, tab aake muje chain mili.. Aise kabhi bina batake mat jaa beta..
Teju : Aaj ke baad bina batake kahi nahi jaungi... I promise..
TD : It's okay.. Tu jaa, jaake fresh up hoja.. tab tak tumari maa bhi aajayegi..
Teju : Seenu kahaan hai?
KM : voh shoot pe gayi hai..
Teju : Acha, main fresh up hoke aati hun..
Teju headed towards her room to freshen up.. After some time, feeling refreshed, she made her way to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat.. As she entered, TM noticed her and rushed over, enveloping her in a long, tight hug..
TM : Meri bachi.. Tu vaapas aa gayi.. I'm sorry Baby.. Jab tuje humari sabse syada zarurat the, hum tere saath nahi reh paaye.. Meri beti ne akele sab kuch saha hai.. muje maaf karde, Teju..
She cupped Teju's face tenderly, planting gentle kisses on her cheeks. Teju reached up, wiping away TM's tears..
Teju : Main thik hun Amma.. ho gaya voh sab.. Jo mere saath hua, usme aap ki koi galti nahi hai.. Galti toh meri thi.. Meri careless ke vajase hua tha.. Aapko maafi maagne ki zarurat nahi hai.. Please..
TM : Phir bhi.. Meri beti pregnant huyi thi.. Par Maa hoke muje nahi pata chala.. tumari miscarriage huyi aur tum akele hospital me thi, phir bhi muje nahi pata tha.. Tu ek hafta bimaar thi, phir bhi main samaj nahi paya ki tu achanak bimaar kyun padi.. Ek maa hoke maine meri beti ka khayal nahi rakh payi.. kaisi maa hun main?
Teju gently took TM's hands in hers..
Teju : Amma.. calm down.. Shayad meri kismat mein yahi likha hai.. Aap apne aapko doshi mat maaniye.. Aap mere saath hai, vahi kaafi hai.. Aap meri pyaari amma hai, joh apni beti se bohot pyaar karti hai..
TM : Par Teju.. Main tuje samajh nahi payi na.. Tere saath hone ke bawajood bhi main teri khayal rakh nahi paayi..
Teju : Amma... koi baat nahi.. Abh sab thik hai na.. abse sab acha hi hoga.. acha, kuch leke aao na khane keliye.. Please..
TM : Rukh abhi laathi hun..
As TM got up to prepare food, Teju watched her with a small smile..
***************************************
At Evening..
Teju was in her cab moving towards the restaurant for a meeting with Appu.. Her mind was buzzing with curiosity about the reason for the sudden meeting.. As she traveled, her phone rang, and seeing Karan's name on the screen instantly brought a smile to her lips.. She swiped to answer and held the phone to her ear..
Teju : Hi Sunny.. Kya kar rahe ho?
Karan : Bass abhi abhi shoot katam hua.. Tu kya kar rahi hai?
Teju : Appu ke saath meeting hai.. So restaurant jaa rahi hun usse milne..
Karan : Oh.. Fine..
Teju : woh kaafi important lag rahi thi... Mujhe bhi nahi pata kyun suddenly bulaya hai... Tuje kuch pata hai?
Karan : N..Nahi toh.. Muje kaise pata hoga?.. Shayad koi naya project ho, ya phir koi existing project ka update ho... Tujhe pata hai na, Appu kabhi bhi kuch interesting plan kar sakti hai.
Teju : Haan haan.. pata hai.. Vaise, tu resort chala gaya kya?
Karan : Haan.. Thoda thak gaya hun.. Par aaj ka shoot acha chala.. Tu?.. Amma aur Appa ka reaction kaisa tha?
Teju : Amma toh ro padi.. Unko guilt tha muje khayal nahi rakhne ka.. Par usme unke kya galti thi.. Maine hi toh nahi bataya unko.. Agar bata diya hota toh aaj sab thik hua hota..
Karan : Chal chod.. voh sab baatein mat karte hein.. Aaj main yahaan ka ek famous street pe shopping karne vala hun.. Tuje kya chahiye?
Teju : Muje?... hmm.. Muje toh tu hi chahiye.. Leke aayega?
Karan : acha.. par voh toh bohot expensive hai.. crores ka worth hai.. Voh kaise launga.. voh toh already kisiki pyaar mein sold ho gaya..
Teju : Acha ji.. Phir toh tu second hand leke aa, main kisiko nahi dunga.. Voh sirf mera hai..
Karan chuckled at Teju's playful response
Karan : haan, voh sirf tera hi hai..Second hand kyun, Freshly leke aata hun.. Sambhal ke rakhna.. But on a serious note, bata kya chahiye?
Teju : Kuch nahi chahiye, Sunny.. Bas apna dhyan rakhna...
Karan : bata na laddoo.. agar tu nahi bataoge toh main hi kuch leke aajaunga.. Phir ye mat bolna ki muje ye acha nahi lag raha, size fit nahi hora hai, ye voh..
Teju : acha baba thik hai, tu hi kuch leke aa.. Main kuch nahi bolungi.. chalo.. I'll call you later.. haan, main ek dress ka pic bhejti hun.. voh vahaan milega.. voh acha hai.. Seenu ke liye leke aana..
Karan : Haan ok baby.. Main dekhta hoon... Call me if you need anything else..Bye.. Have a nice meeting.. Love you..
Teju : Love you too sunny..bye
After their conversation, Teju sent Karan a picture of the dress she thought would be perfect for Seenu.. As she arrived at the restaurant, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and curiosity.. She scanned for Appu and spotted her sitting alone at a table in the corner.. With a smile, Teju made her way over, and upon seeing her, Appu stood up..
Appu : Hey Teju.. How are you, girl?.. Bohot din hogaya dekhe..
They shared a hug and settled into their seats.
Teju : Haan, Appu.. Thodi busy thi.. I'm good.. tu kaisi hai?
Appu : Badiya.. pata hai kahaan busy thi tu.. Sreetu puch rahi thi tumare bareme.. Phir maine Karan se bhi pucha.. Usne bataya sab kuch.. I'm sorry, Teju.. Us din muje nahi pata tha ki tu pregnant thi.. Agar pata hota toh, I would have done something to stop that MV or I would have asked the choreographer to make lighter steps.. Tu bata deti na mujse.. Mai kuch toh karti..
Teju listened quietly, touched by Appu's concern and regret. She reached out and placed a comforting hand on Appu's.
Teju: Appu, it's okay... Tumhari koi galti nahi thi... Main reports ke liye wait karrahi thi.. isliye nahi bataya.. chal chod.. Let's not dwell on the past... Ab sab theek hai... Acha bata, kyun bulaya tune?
Appu : Ek acha project aaya hai.. They are asking for a meeting.. Tu bologi toh haan bol dungi..
Teju : Ruk ruk.. Itni Excitement?.. Acha bata, kya project hai?
Appu's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as she began to share the details of the project.
Appu : Voh "The Fear Factor" Show, Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 10.. Acha Project hai, Teju.. Iss baar iske liye hype badh raha hai.. And kuch naya bhi experience karegi.. I know for a fact, tu hi winner banegi.. You are such a brave girl..
Teju's heart skipped a beat at the mention of the renowned reality show.. She felt a rush of excitement mingled with nervousness coursing through her veins.. The Fear Factor was known for its adrenaline-pumping challenges and daring stunts, and the opportunity to participate in such an iconic show was both thrilling and daunting..
Teju : Wait... Are you serious, Appu? Khatron Ke Khiladi? Itna bada show?
Appu nodded eagerly, her smile widening.
As Teju processed the magnitude of the opportunity, her mind began to race.. She couldn't ignore the recent events in her personal life.. The responsibility of her family, her relationship with Karan and her own well-being weighed heavily on her mind, urging her to prioritize her stability and happiness above all else..
Her initial excitement started to wane as she realized the potential conflicts between her personal life and the demanding nature of the show.. She knew she needed to take a step back and carefully consider her options before making any decisions..
Teju : Arey.. Par.. Stunts hoga.. Mai kaise.. nahi nahi.. aur uske liye out of India bhi jana padega na.. nahi baba.. Abhi abhi sab kuch thik hoke main sabke saath reh rahi hun.. ye sabke chakkar mein, maine Appa ko time hi nahi de paayi.. I have to be with him.. Sunny bhi ek month baad aayega.. uske saath bhi time spend karni hai.. Big no.. Shayad Next season dekhlenge..
Appu in her mind : Oh god.. ye toh mana kar rahi hai.. Karan ne toh iska naam bhi confirm kardiya.. Abh kya bolungi KKK team se.. Kaise bhi karke usko manana hai..
Appu : Voh Teju.. Family toh hamesha rahenge na tere saath.. Par aise mauka baar baar nahi aayega.. I understand where you're coming from... Family always comes first... But just think about it... This could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... You have the courage and determination to conquer any challenge thrown your way... Just take your time to think it over...
Appu's words resonated with Teju, but the weight of her responsibilities still lingered heavily on her mind. She knew that Appu was right about the opportunity being rare, yet she couldn't shake off the feeling of obligation towards her family and loved ones.
Teju : Muje pata hai Appu.. Par main achanak aise decisions nahi le sakti na.. ghar mein sabse puchna hai.. Pehle Sunny se baat karni hai.. pata nahi voh kaise react karega?.. Appa, unka health ko bhi consider karni hai.. Unko meri sabse syada zarurat hai.. Main yahaan Mumbai Appa ke liye aayi thi.. Ye sab projects se bhi zyada mere liye Appa important hai..
Appu nodded understandingly..
Appu in her mind : Uski point bhi valid hai.. Ohoo Karan.. Muje kahan fasa diya.. abh main usko convince nahi karungi... Tu hi kar joh karna hai..
Appu : I completely understand, Teju.. Family is everything.. Tu baat kar Karan se, sabse.. Consider all the aspects before making any decision.. Jo bhi decision legi, main tere saath dungi.. Just remember, your happiness and well-being matter the most..
Teju : Thank you Appu.. Samajhne keliye... Then, ghar chalien?
Appu nodded in agreement, and Teju left the restaurant.. Appu stood there, contemplating whether to inform Karan about their conversation.. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to dial Karan's number..
Karan : haan bol Appu.. Kya boli voh?.. Maan gayi?
Appu : Nahi Karan.. usne toh seedha mana kar diya.. Phir maine usko sochne ko bola.. Par Karan, uska reasons itna sahi the ki main usko convince karne ke bare mein soch hi nahi paayi.. Abh joh karna hai, voh tu hi kar..
Karan : Par tune hi toh bola tha ki main help karungi, tumare saath dungi.. vagerah vagerah.. abh kyun backout kar rahi hai.. Help karna mera..
Appu : Sorry Karan.. I can't.. Main bhi ek beti hun apne papa ke.. Teju ka mindset samjh sakti hun main.. uske andhar bohot guilt hai ki voh apne papa ko time nahi de pa rahi hai.. Main usko force toh nahi kar sakti.. aur Teju bhi galat nahi hai apne taraf se.. So ab joh karna hai, voh tu dekh le.. Par joh bhi karna hai, jaldi kar.. I can't hold the KKK team for more time.. Tumare kehne pe maine unko confirm kar diya.. abh muje do din ke andhar unko strong confirmation deni hai aur meeting bhi attend karni hai.. So quick..
Karan : Thik hai.. Main kudh dekhta hun.. chal bye..
Appu : hmm Bye..
As she ended the call, she noticed Teju standing before her..
