Seeing AJ still and not reacting to any of her questions, she held his arm bringing him out his trance.

AK: Jawaab dijiye mujhe. Chup kyun hai?

AJ: Shut up! Just shut up! How could you even think of that? Door raho mujhse aur meri family se.

He said jerking her hand away and moving back.

AK: Bohot bura lag raha hai aapko ye soch kar ki mai is rishte ke zariye aapke aur aapke pariwaar ke qareeb aa jaungi.

She asked moving a step closer to him.

AK: Mujhe bhi aapke saath nahi rehna jis tarah aapko. Bas yehi samjhana chahti thi aur lagta hai aap samajh bhi gaye. Isiliye aap ko bhi keh rahi hun, door rahiye mujhse aur mere bete se bhi.

She turned around to leave but stopped as she remembered something.

AK: Aap ke is ek jawaab ne bohot saare sawaalon ke jawaab aise hi de diye. Thankyou.

She said to him without turning back and looking at him and stormed out of the kitchen as few tears rolled down her cheeks unknowingly. She entered her room amd Revati too followed her as she saw her crying.

Revati: Di, kya hua aap ro kyun rahi hai?

AK: Kuchh nahi, wo bas.....

She said wiping her tears and just then she heard her phone ringing. She looked at it to find her co-actor Karan's name flashing on it. She received the call wiping her tears which appeared again. By the end of the call, she was smiling forgetting all her worries.

Revati: Ab to kuchh bata dijiye.

She asked again as AK ended the call.

AK: My life would have been better if I would have given Karan a chance.

She said smiling as she remembered the times he was by her side, by her family, taking care of her and Ahaan.

Revati: Your life would have been the best if you have given AJ a chance.

She replied to her making her smile fade away.

AK: Aisa kuchh nahi hota. Abhi abhi unhe shaadi ke liye propose kiya maine lekin unka jo reaction wo dekh kar samajh gayi ki jo maine kiya sahi kiya. Mera faisla sahi tha.

Revati: What? Aapne unhe shaadi ke liye propose kiya? Aapne? Aur kya kaha unhone? Maan liye na wo?

AK: Aise kaise maan jaayenge wo jab unke life me pehle se hi koi aur hai. Bohot baatein clear kardiye hai unhone.

Revati: Saaf saaf bataiye na ki kya kaha hai unhone?

AK: Keh bhi kya sakte hai wo. Mana kar diye aur karte bhi kyun na ab tak apni patni se itna pyaar jo karte hai.

Revati: Aapne poocha ki kis patni se?

AK: What do you mean?

Revati: Do patniyan thi unki, to aapko poochna chahiye tha ki kis patni ke pyaar me aa kar unhone aapko shaadi se mana kiya. Poocha aapne?

AK: Isme poochne wali kounsi baat hai, ofcourse jo abhi unke saath hai. Unhe hi to nahi chhod sakte na wo kyunki doosri jo thi use to already chhod bhi chuke hai aur bhool bhi.

Revati: Unhone nahi chhoda tha balki wo unhe chhod kar chali gayi thi.

AK: Revati....

Revati: Kya Di? Har baar wo galat nahi ho sakte. Ho sakta hai unhone AK ko mana kiya lekin Guddan ko nahi karte. Aap ko bhi yaad dilana padta hai kya ki aap ab AK hai Guddan nahi. AK ne unhe shaadi ke liye propose kiya na, to wo Guddan samajh kar thodi na accept kar lete. Isiliye mana kar diye. Har baar aap unke baare me galat hi kyun sochte hai?

AK: Aur tum har baar unhe sahi kyun saabit karte rehti ho?

Revati: Every coin has two sides. To usi tarah every story has two sides.

AK: Kehna kya chahti ho tum?

Revati: Fictional shows karti hai na aap. Aapko to pata hi hoga, kabhi kabhi ek hero sab ki nazron me galat ban kar kuchh karta hai lekin wo sab ke point of view se galat hota hai uske point of view se nahi kyunki wo jo kar raha hota hai wo kabhi na kabhi sahi prove ho jaata hai.

AK: Ha to wo reality nahi hai.

Revati: Lekin real life me bhi aisa hota hai Di. Aap sirf apni side ki story jaanti hai unki nahi. Aap nahi jaanti ki unki feelings kya hai, wo kiske baare me kya sochte hai, to baar baar unke baare me galat sochna band kariye. Mai nahi chahti ki sach saamne aane ke baad aapko apne hi kiye par guilt ho.

AK: Mai aisa kuchh bhi nahi kar rahi hun jisse mujhe kisi bhi baat par guilt ho.

Revati: Wo to waqt aane par hi pata chalega.

She left the room angrily leaving a confused AK behind.

LIVING ROOM,

AK was hiding behind the stairs waiting for Antara to come down for dinner. She came out as Antara wasn't coming down while she has been waiting for a long time. She looked at the stairs being exhausted. Just then she sees Antara descending the stairs. She immediately hid behind as Antara was stepping down each stair holding the railings for support as she was a little weak due to what happened to her. When she reached down she looked at her hands which were completely red in colour due to the red chilli powder which was applied by AK.

Antara: Saru!!! Saru!! Jaldi pani lekar aao.

She yelled as a panicked Saraswati reached her.

Saraswati: Arey Antara ji, kya hua hai aapko?

Antara: Dikh nahi raha hai, mirchi lag gayi hai haathon me. Ab jaldi se pani lao isse pehle ki ye mirchi mere aankhon me ya face par lag jaaye.

She immediately scooted towards the kitchen to bring water. When she waa about to pour the water on her hands to clean it, Antara stopped her.

Antara: Ruko, pehle tissue se saaf karo phir paani daalna.

Saraswati nodded and immediately brought the tissues wiping her hands. Meanwhile, AK changed the jug of water with hot boiling water. After cleaning, she poured the whole jug of water on her hands making her scream in pain as her hands burnt.

Antara: Paagal ho kya? Garam paani lane ke liye kaha tha maine?

She yelled at Saraswati blowing at her hands.

Saraswati: Maine garam paani nahi laaya tha, Sachhi.

Ignoring her, Antara went into the kitchen to treat her burnt hands while Saraswati too followed to help her.

AK: Aaj ke baad un haathon se doosron ko takleef dene se pehle sau baar ye yaad aayega.

Saying that to herself she went to the dining room where everyone would be gathering for the dinner.

DINING ROOM,

Everyone were seated for the dinner amd when Arya came there, she didn't sit next to AJ which was her usual place but went to Kishore and sat on his lap asking Durga to feed her. AJ saw her which hurt him but tried to keep calm.

Everyone were having their dinner but Antara was struggling as her hands were burnt. Everyone noticed her struggle but didn't mind to ask.

AJ: Kya hua hai tumhare haath ko?

He asked taking everyone by shock but he knew that he didn't ask her out of concern but only to know if she is planning for something.

Antara: Haath jal gaye mere.

She said glaring at Saraswati.

Durga: Itne bure kaam karti ho un haathon se, ek na ek din to jalne hi the.

She spoke making the other family members chuckle at her.

Antara: Akshat, tum please mujhe khila do, mujhse khaya nahi ja raha hai.

She requested him with pleading eyes at which AJ gave her a stern look but she moved her gaze towards AK and Revati indicating that they don't know about their not so good relationship.

AK looked down at her plate murdering the vegetables on the plate. She didn't look up not wanting to hurt herself.

AJ just nodded and took a spoon of food from her plate and extended it towards her mouth. She happily had the food while the others were looking at her with anger and hatred especially Arya. Just after few seconds she started panting and huffing. She drank the whole glass of water trying to ease her tongue from the spiciness of the food. AJ slightly smiled looking at her condition as he remembered how he knowingly fed her chilli present in the food which he saw after she requested him to feed her.

He immediately completed his dinner and left to his room leaving Antara fuming behind.

_________________________________

The next day everyone were having their breakfast when AK returned from her shoot. Dadi offered to have breakfast with them but she was about to deny.

Vardaan: Arey aao na AK, tumhara favourite bana hai, Aaloo ke parathe wo bhi AJ ke haath ke.

Listening to that she could deny and nodding her head, excused herself to freshen up and returned in a short while.

Revati: Di, aap kuchh bhool nahi rahi hai?

AK: Kya?

She asked her mouth full with her favourite food made by her favourite person. It was the same for another person too, Arya and it was especially made for her but she was not someone who could be easily melted by small efforts. So she was having cereals sitting with her parents.

Revati: Apna diet plan!!!

AK: Aaj cheat day hai mera.

Revati: Wo to aap jab se Indore aaye hai tab se chal raha hai.

AK: Never mind!

Saying that she completed her breakfast and grabbed the bowl of Kheer. Just as she completed half of the bowl, she felt bile rising in her throat. She immediately stood up and rushed to the washroom of Revati's room as it was downstairs near to the dining room. The other members too followed her to the room.

Revati: Di, aap thik to hai na? Kya hua hai Di? Darwaza kholiye.

She asked knocking on the door of the washroom but only they could hear the sound of flowing water.

Revati: Di, kuchh to boliye.

She again asked concerned for her. Just then the door was opened by AK who was wiping her face with the towel.

Revati: Di, kya hua?

She asked handing a glass of water to her. Before she could drink the water, she again felt the urge to vomit and rushed into the washroom.

Revati: Aapko vomitings kyun ho rahi hai?

She asked to her when AK came amd sat on the bed.

Parv: Any Good news?

Revati: Apna muh band rakho tum.

She angrily spat on him and looked at her sister concerned.

Arya: Kya kiya hai aapne?

She asked coming infront of AJ, keeping her arms on her waist.

AJ: Arya, mai kya karunga? Aur aap mujhe....

Arya: Aapne hi to breakfast banaya hai na to aapke hi wajah se kuchh hua hoga. Agar meri Angel ko kuchh bhi hua na to bilkul bhi achha nahi hoga.

She warned him, her voice lacing with anger.

Durga: Arya, aise baat nahi karte. Aur AJ kyun kuchh karenge.....

Their attention again shifted to AK who again rushed into the washroom to throw up. When she stepped out, she couldn't hold it anymore and was about to fall when AJ held her. He made her lay down on the bed and called the doctor.

Doctor: I guess inhone kuchh aisa kha liya jisse ye allergic hai, isiliye inhe vomitings ho rahi hai. Don't worry blood samples test ke liye bhej dunga and it will be confirmed then. Aap ko pata hai ki inhone kya khaya?

Revati thought and then remembered that she is allergic to cashew and she ate Kheer without realising it's presence in it. She was about to say it but then remembered that she couldn't say that because they would doubt her for Guddan. She was about to tell some other thing but Ahaan spoke before her.

Ahaan: Mumma ko to kaaju se allergy hai. Wo hamesha bhool jati hai aur kha leti hai.

He spoke slapping his forehead. This instantly hit AJ as he remembered Guddan. He looked at her trying to realise if she is really Guddan.

Doctor: Isiliye inki ye haalat hai. No worries, mai inhe medicines de rahi hun, please la dijiye, aur ye injection abhi la dijiye, inhe abhi dena hai.

Vardaan took the prescription to bring the medicines.

Revati: Doctor, Di ko hosh kab aayega?

Doctor: Don't worry, abhi kuchh der me hosh aa jayega.

Just then she sees AK opening her eyes slowly. She tried to sit back and AJ immediately came forward to help her setting the pillows at her back.

Doctor: Aap ko pata hai aapko kya hua hai?

AK: Vomitings ho rahi hai.

Doctor: Kis wajah se?

AK: Mujhe kaise pata hoga.

Ahaan: Mumma!!!

He came and sat by her side looking at her angrily but with concern.

Ahaan: Aap hamesha bhool jaati hai. Aapne kheer kha liya usme kaaju tha aur aapko kaaju se allergy hai na.

AK: Oh, haan! Sorry, mai bhool gayi thi.

She said smiling sheepishly but he frowned.

Ahaan: Dekha na aapki tabiyat kaise kharaab ho gayi. Bohot careless hai aap!

AK: Achha baba Sorry na.

Ahaan: Aap ko to abhi Doctor Aunty punishment dengi, dekh lena.

He said making her confused. Just then Vardaan came back with the medicines. The doctor took out the syringe filling it with the medicine. She looked at it in horror with widen eyes.

Doctor: Koi baat nahi beta, aapki Mumma is injection se bilkul thik ho jaayengi.

She said bringing it forwards towards her while AK stood up on the bed abruptly making everyone look at her in shock.

AK: Ise mere saamne se hata dijiye.

She said pointing towards the injection as she hid her face in her hands not wanting to see it. This reminded AJ of Guddan and she couldn't help but again think over the possibility that she is his Guddan.

Revati: Di, bachhon jaisi harkatein mat kariye. Itna to Ahaan bhi injection se nahi darta hai jitna aap darti hai.

AK looked angrily at Revati and then looked at the injection which was scaring her more than anything. She again closed her eyes.

Ahaan: Aap bhool gayi thi na ye usi ki punishment hai. Ek baar ye injection lag gaya na to agli baar se kabhi nahi bhoolengi.

AK: Ahaan, aap bhi?

The doctor holds her hand as she wanted to make her sit but she jerked her hand away.

AK: Agar aapne kuchh bhi kiya na to bohot bura hoga aapke saath. Mai... mai na aapka medical license cancel karwa dungi.

She warned her making the doctor laugh at her.

Doctor: Roz aise dhamkiyaan sunti hun mai.

AK: Aapko pata nahi hai mai koun hun. Mai sach keh rahi hun....

She was cut in between as Revati pulled her down and she ended up sitting infront of the doctor.

AK: NO!!!

She screamed hiding her face in her hands as Arya came and hugged her.

Arya: Koi meri Angel ko kuchh nabi karega. Unhe dar lagta hai na injection se, to unhe nahi diya jaayega.

Revati: Arya, aap nahi chahti ki aapki Angel thik ho jaaye?

She nodded at her.

Revati: To please unhe injection lagane dijiye.

Arya: Lekin unhe injection se dar lag raha hai na.

AJ: Princess, injection se kuchh nahi hota hai.

Arya: Mujhe pata hai kya hota hai aur kya nahi. Aap kuchh mat bataiye.

Doctor: Dekhiye jaldi kijiye, mujhe clinic waapas jana hai, mere patients wait kar rahe hai.

Revati and Lakshmi held her hands and she screamed as Arya too followed her screaming. When they stopped, they looked at the doctor and then at everyone. Everyone laughed at them because they screamed even when she has not been injected.

AJ: Itna kyun dar rahi ho, injection hai, tumhe kha nahi jaayega.

"Aap chup rahiye", AK and Arya both yelled at him angrily.

AJ: Ok! Calm down! Kya tum alphabets peeche se padh sakti ho?

He asked making everyone confused.

AK: Aapka ye trick baar baar ham par kaam nahi karne waala.

She said taking him into another shock because no one other than Guddan knew that it was a trick used by him to distract her from injection as he mostly used it on her.

The doctor took her hand which made her eyes close in fear. AJ took the injection from the doctor and injected her carefully not wanting to hurt her much.

She opened her eyes just feeling a prick and nothing much on her arm. She looked at the doctor and then at her arm not realizing that it wasn't her but AJ who injected her. She checked her arm trying to look out for any major injuries but found none.

Doctor: Dekha, kuchh nahi hua na. Aise hi dar rahi thi tum. Yaad se medicines le lena.

She picked up her belongings and left followed by the other members too except Ahaan, Arya, Revati and AJ.

Revati: Di, aap thodi der rest kar lijiye.

AK nodded as she was feeling really weak.

Revati: Chalo bachho, unhe rest karne do.

"Nahi, ham yahin rahenge", they both spoke and settled themselves next to her.

AJ: Inhe yahin rehne do waise bhi ye kisi ki sunne wale nahi hai.

AJ didn't want to leave because of the possibilities that arised which made him ponder about her. He really wanted to know if she is really Guddan as his heart has acknowledged from their first meet. But seeing her drifting off to sleep, he left to his room with all the puzzled thoughts about her.

Hello everyone!

I was thinking about changing the title of the Story as the current one would probably suit a story with a sad ending which is not the case with this story. So, I want to know what you all think about it. I have some ideas for the new title but drop your suggestions if you have any.
