SCENE 6
Shilpa set uncomfortably between the mob gangsters who kept
discussing about several criminal activities and plans... She glanced at
several people around who were dressed sophisticated hiding their real identity
Who were they trying to fool.. Least they had an idea among them was sitting a
CIA agent.. Her eyes drifted back at Karan who set with a grim face listening
to their offers intently..
All of a sudden one of them glanced at her with a smirk.. "
So miss Tina.. Aap ka kya khayal hai
hamare offer ke bare mein..? "
Shilpa frowned trying to remember what the talk was really
about.. Passing her best smile she spoke confidently.. " Will I be killed if I
say am not actually very much interested or concerned about this meeting or any
of your offer.. ? "
Color drained from his face hearing the boldness in her
words.. Shilpa leaned back in her chair while Karan raised his eyebrow..
" So..
Matlab u don't have any interest in the deal.. ? "
Shilpa looked at him trying not to show her hesitance.. " I
was just saying what I felt.. "
After several minutes of silence Karan looked back at others
with a smile.. " Well I guess we have to call off this meeting right now.. Main
ye offers reject kartha hoon.. "
One of them got up angrily protesting.. " Ohh come on when
did a women's word start to influence you.. ? I am offering you great plans you
can't just say no to them.. "
Karan got up from his seat with a ease.. " She is my
partner.. And you don't seem to have impressed her much.. Which means you cant
impress me either.. And believe me..
Main kisi ko bhi reject kar saktha hoon.. "
Shilpa noticed disapproving and angry glares coming towards
her which warned her surely they were upset with her presence.. She tried to
get up when Karan signaled her to follow him outside.. Obliging she got up from
her seat thanking him in heart..
Shilpa hesitantly followed him trying to form excuses in his
mind... Was he really upset with her irresponsible behavior.. She cursed
herself for not concentrating towards the talks done in
meeting
She
noticed Karan standing near the balcony
staring down at the city life.. In a
steady pace she approached him as the cool breeze kept flowing around
making her smile..
She
stared down at the city life enjoying the silence with the lingering
smile when
his deep voice interrupted her thoughts.
" You still have the same smile... "
Her smile faded from
her lips as she glanced at him stunned.. Fear raised in her heart.. Did he got
to know about her identity.. ? She tried to read his eyes but like before they
were blank without any emotion..
Shilpa laughed nervously looking away from him.. " Ye tum Kya.. ? "
She heard him sigh as he moved a little bit close to her
making her nervous with his sudden behavior.. She tried to speak when he
interrupted her smoothly.. " I have something for you.. "
With a thudding heart she gave a nod when his hands went
inside his pocket.. Shilpa gasped as he took
her phone placing it in her hand.. " Aapki phone.. You forgot it on my place..
"
Her mind started to spin.. This was getting more worse than
she expected.. What if.. What if he had
discovered her true identity..
Warning bells started
to ring in her mind at once.. " Mujhe
jaana hai... Its.. Its late now and I have.."
Her words came to a halt when he interrupted her , pulling her roughly towards him.. She
stared at him nervous seeing the sudden change .. Indeed she was trapped.. And
she didn't knew how to get away from him at the moment..
Shilpa stayed silent expecting the worse to come.. Expecting him to blast on her due to her big
lie.. But
Instead for the very first time she saw the feeling of love rise in his eyes..
The same feelings which she saw 10 yrs ago.. Staring down at her he spoke in a
steady voice.. " Your aunt.. called after several minutes you left.. Tumhare
bhaare mein pooch rahi thi .. Shilpa "
She closed her eyes as he spoke her name.. A chill ran down
her body hearing her name escape from his lips.. How much she yearned for the
moment.. How much she waited for him to recognize her..
She tried to
control herself but tears welled up in her eyes as she moved away from him
crying.. " I am sorry.. I know.. I shouldn't have lied.. I am so sorry.. "
And then it happened.. Instead of getting mad he pulled her
back in his arms hugging her tightly.. His breathing was rough as memories of
past 10 yrs rushed back to him at once.. Every single moment he spent with
her.. Everything their shared..
Sitting beside him near the railing she looked at Karan who
set silently staring down without any word.. But the small smile on his face
was enough to make her realize he was happy with her presence.. He looked back at her with the same love..
The love which she had been yearning to see from years.. He moved forward and
showered several kisses on her face brushing away the dry tears..
He looked back in her eyes caressing her face.. " Shilpa..
Mujhe laga maine tumhe kho diya.. Soo much guilt was there in my heart knowing
I have hurt you.. "
She cried while touching his face softly.. "Yes you
shouldn't have.. I was so heartbroken when you left.. Mujhe laga tum mujhse
pyaar hi nahi karthe.. "
He pulled her close brushing his lips on hers.. " You
remember that.. ? Hamari first kiss.. "
She sighed as a smile formed on her lips.. " Ohh yes I do..
Kabhi nahi bhool sakthi "
He glanced at her , his eyes full of love and passion.. "
Then believe me.. There haven't been even a single day I haven't miss you... No
one took your place in my life.. "
She laughed brushing away her tears.. " I know that.. Ek hafta tumhare saath rehekar realize hua , you
are a so called arrogant rude Mob gangster.. But in real.. The very same old 17
yr old Karan.. "
His smile faded as the harsh reality cameback to him.. " I
am what I shouldn't have been.. A gangster Main iss cheeze ko badal nahi saktha.."
She agreed silently not knowing what to say.. How she wished
their life was ordinary.. By profession they both were biggest enemies.. Can a CIA agent love a Gangster..
She glanced back at him as he tugged her arm.. " Ab bolo tum
kya ho.. ? I am damn sure not a Mob Gangster.. You are too sweet for that.. "
She replied back to him softly.. " Main badal chuki hoon.. I
have learned the hard way of life now.. "
He shook his head smiling.." Phir bhi..you don't qualify
for Mob gangster.. "
She tried to think for a good answer.. Lying to him again
would become a big burden.. She knew she couldn't do it.. But revealing she was
a CIA agent could bring problems between them.. And right now the least thing
she wanted was to lose him again.. " Ok
Fine.. I.. I just faked up to become a Mob gangster... "
And there went a half lie.. But it was almost the truth..
The real intention in her heart.. She stared at him desperately praying he
would believe her words.. And soon it was listened.. " You Shilpa Anand pls
original hi raho.. Believe me you are the worst faking Mob gangster I have ever
met.. "
She laughed with him as the sudden relief came in her
heart.. But soon her expression sobered .. " Mujhe laga tum mujhe phirse chod
ke chale jaoge.. I was so scared.. Not of being caught.. But scared to lose you
again.. "
He smiled while brushing his knuckles on her lips and
noticed her tremble.. Still he had the same effect on her.. And she reacted to
every single touch of him.. " When I saw
your beautiful green eyes I instantly knew you were familiar.. Woh saare
memories phirse yaad aagaya.. "
She blushed as he brought his lips down on hers kissing her
softly.. Unlike last time he kissed her tenderly , full of love.. Her heart
jumped in joy feeling blessed to be back in his arms.. But soon a thought came
in her mind.. She broke the kiss abruptly frowning.. " Ab kya hoga.. ? "
Breathing heavily he gave a confused look.. "What do you
mean Ab kya hoga ?.. "
Hesitating for a minute she spoke.. " Matlab.. Now that you
know I was faking.. Hum kya karenge.. ? "
The confusion faded away replacing it with a teasing smile
on his lips.. " Hmm so my Fake Mob Gangster.. Now that you have started why
don't you fake it for some more time Deal ?... "
She whispered smiling as he leaned forward kissing her passionately..
" Deal.. "
