2.3 The Shades Of Love

PS: Continuation of the last one.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Koel and Faizi stood at the terrace, while the cold winds were blowing, as Koel had wrapped her arm around Faizi's as they were looking at the sky filled with shining stars.

Koel was looking at the sky as she questioned being concerned, "Faizi, mujhe Monami aur Sid ke liye darr lag rha hai... I mean, yeh academy un dono ka sapna hai..."

While Faizi looked at Koel as he confessed, "Jaante hain Koel, aur hum puri koshish krenge ki unka yeh sapna kabhi na toote. Lekin filal hume chinta es baat ki hai ki Sanju aur Janaab ji ka kya hoga?"

"Unhe kya hoga Faizi?" questioned a confused Koel.

Faizi looked back at the dark sky as he said, "Sanju Sid se aur Karan Monami se pyaar krte hain. Lekin hume ab yeh darr lag rha hai ki agr unhone der krdi toh kya hoga?"

"Jaanti hoon Faizi. Aaj pura din unki aankhon mein fikar dekhi hai maine Monami aur Sid ke liye. Bas, yahi wish hai ki Sid aur Monami Parakram choden usse pehle unhe apna pyaar realise ho jaye...." said Koel, how much she wished that Karan and Sanjana realise their live for Monami and Siddharth respectively.

Faizi squeezed Koel's hand, as she wiped the alone tear which threatened to fall down from her eyes which didn't go unnoticed by Faizi, as he pulled her into his warm embrace, as Koel wrapped her hands around his back, as her head rested on his shoulder.

Their hug was filled will concern, assurance and love as Faizi assured, "Aisa hi hoga Koel."

Koel nodded as she tightened her grip, her eyes closed while Faizi closed his eyes well, they wanted to live in the moment, not the past or their future.

While, on the other hand, Siddharth was watching Sanjana eat Pani Puri, which was a pure bliss to him. Nothing else mattered, as the stress and mental trauma he was facing all day long was fading away seeing his beloved carefree.

Undoubtedly, some part of him was worried for his bestfriend, but he knew that she is with his Dole Shole Bro and she will be alright with him just like he is with his Miss Tod Fod.

While his trance of thoughts were broken as Sanjana stuffed a Pani Puri in his mouth, to which Siddharth gulped it down with difficulty finding it extremely spicy as he said coughing, fanning his mouth like a child, "Pani... Pani! Bohot teekha hai!"

Sanjana instantly grabbed a glass of water and made him drink it, while patted his back lightly when he stopped coughing.

As Sanjana questioned him bein concerned, "Tu thik hogo?"

Siddharth nodded his head when suddenly he got engrossed in his own thoughts which didn't go unnoticed by Sanjana as she placed her palm on his shoulder and questioned, "Kya soch raho hai Chirkut?"

"Sanju, voh academy Monu ka sapna hai. Usne vahaan tak jaane ke liye bohot mehnat ki hai, usne pehli baar apne Papa ke against stand liye hai. Aur Monu apne dreams se bohot pyaar krti hai, and uske andar apne dreams ko achieve krne ka passion, determination and voh capability hai lekin..." said Siddharth as he paused.

While Sanjana was hearing intently to him, and when he paused she questioned, "Lekin kya?"

Siddharth took a deep breath as s
he continued, "I fear ki kahin uska sapna na tut jaaye. Sanju, main sab kuch bardaash kr sakta hoon but Monu ke dreams break hote nahi dekh sakta, she will breakdown Sanju.... Voh tut jaayegi.."

Siddharth's eyes had already turned moist, because he feared that what will be happening the next day, probably another call? But, he was determined to not let it or anything ruin them or their dreams, he was determined and was hell serious to save their dreams!

Sanjana looked at Siddharth's moist eyes as she wiped his tears, and taking his hands in her's, she spoke up in the most appealing and firm tone, "Humo tujhse aaj ek vaada krto hain Siddharth, tere aur Monami ke sapnon ko kuch na hone denge. Hum jo kr paaye krenge, lekhn tumhare sapnon ko na tutne denge...."

Siddharth smiled at Sanjana's assurance, that's all he needed, the proper words to know that he is not alone, there are people who care for them and value their dreams. Siddharth hugged Sanjana, while she reciprocated the hug warmly, might be their love is unconfessed but the feelings were definitely expressed!

Whereas, in the academy, Karan and Monami were in the cafeteria as Karan was preparing Noodles for them while Monami was standing there, leaning against the wall while Monami was still engrossed in her chain of thoughts which didn't go unnoticed by Karan.

Karan snapped his fingers infront of Monami as he enquired, "Kahaan khoyi huyi hain Rani Sahiba?"

Monami looked at Karan as she raised her two fingers and said, "Do baatien Khadoos Shergill."

Karan raised his eyebrows as Monami raised her forefinger and started as she made a finger cross from her hand, behind her back, "Pehli baat, main kahin khoyi nahi huyi hoon..."

Monami paused while Karan had noticed her hand behind and he knew she had made a cross and so he said, "Pehli baat mein toh dum tha nahi, dusri boldo."

Monami looked at Karan shocked as she raised her second finger, and was about to speak when she pressed her lips as she said, "Dusri baat toh thi hi nahi...."

Karan who had served the noodles in the bowl turned to Monami as he spoke up, "Teen baatien Rani Sahiba."

Monami instantly raised her three fingers to which Karan smiled inwardly as Monami raised her first finger as Karan started, "Pehli, es dialogue pe mera copyright hai."

Monami shook her head, when she raised her second finger as she questioned, "Dusri baat?"

"Dusri baat yeh, ki tumhe jhoot bolna nahi aata." said Karan with a smirk to which Monami frowned but then she knew its somewhere right.

Monami raised her third finger as Karan said, "Teesri yeh ki jo mann mein hai usse boldo."

Monami looked at Karan for a moment startled at what he said, but then she knew that she had to get things off her chest, and she knew that after Siddharth, Karan is the best person for this and so she confessed, "Karan, aaj Papa aur uncle ke call ke baad darr lag rha hai... Apne liye nahi, Sid ke liye. Mujhe mere dreams se pyaar hai, lekin Sid ko mere dreams se mujhse bhi zaada pyaar hai... Jab voh pehli baar academy mein aaya tha and usne yeh announce kiya ki voh mera finance hai, I was shocked but then usko trouble mein padne nahi de sakti thi toh accept kr liya..."

Karan smiled seeing their bond when Monami continued, "Jab usse yeh realise hua ki uska yahaan rehna mere liye problems create krsakta hai, he decided to leave but phir usse Sanjana mili, uski Miss tattoo. And tabse maine uske andar ek passion dekha hai Karan, usne yahaan rehne ke liye voh sab kuch kiya jo Sid kaha tha ki voh kabhi krna nahi chahta ya phir kr nahi payega...."

"Yeh academy unknowingly Sid ka dream ban chuka hai Karan. And Sid ke es dream ko main break hone nahi desakti..." confessed Monami.

All she is worried about is her bestfriend, she knew Siddharth more then anyone and knew that how much the academy had changed him for his own betterment, and how this academy slowly became his dream.

Karan looked at Monami whose eyes were filled with tears as he started taking a deep breath, "Monami..."

Before he could continue, Monami hugged him tightly as she broke down in his embrace, while Karan holded her back and started to caress her hairs, trying to calm her down as Monami calmed down a bit, he said softly, "Monami, I promise ki main tum dono ke sapnon ko kuch tutne nahi dunga. And you know ki Special Agent Karan Shergill apna vaada humesha pura krta hai."

Monami chuckled tearfully as Karan broke the hug and said, "Rani Sahiba ab Noodles khayen? After all, subah se bhookhi bethi hain aap."

Saying so, Karan served her the noodles as Monami was about eat when she got the spoonful near Karan's mouth to which he raised his eyebrows as Monami replied with a smile, "I know tumne bhi kuch nahi khaya. Rani Sahiba ka order hai chup-chap khao!"

Karan smiled back as he ate it from her hands, as both of them continued to eat and talk with eachother, spending some quality time.

The three couples were having their own quality time but were still worried for their friends and their dreams, probably because they knew the value of both.

The next day came, as it was time for the drills and the six of them were all good after last night as Monami and Siddharth thought that it's gonna be fine now.

While Siddharth and Monami were 2 minutes late for the drill as they came talking about the same, when both of them were ordered that they will have to do 20 laps extra as they are late, to which both of them agreed.

Even after having the strong bond of friendship, the three trainers won't let Monami, Siddharth or Koel take the drills for granted, which was accepted by the three cadets as even they couldn't compromise with their trainings in any case.

Karan stood in the ground with Sanjana and Faizi as he ordered, " 50 laps for everyone! And Cadet Doctor Monami Mahajan and Cadet Siddharth Ganju aapke liye 70 laps! Is that clear?"

Everyone nodded while Monami, Siddharth and Koel yelled, "Yes Sir!"

"Is that clear!?" shouted Karan looking at others.

While others yelled together this time, "Yes Sir!"

Everyone started with their laps and few minutes later all of them stopped after they completed 50 laps as they were panting while Siddharth and Monami were preparing for their next 20 laps, as Sanjana said, "Cadet Monami and Cadet Siddharth. Aap dono paanch minute ka break leke apne 20 lap pure krenge!"

"Yes ma'am!" said Siddharth and Monami.

They were standing in a row as Siddharth and Monami were standing with Koel talking about something before going for their punishment laps when their trance of thoughts were broken as they heard two familiar voices, "Monami! Siddharth!"

"Papa? Uncle?" whispered Monami, quite audible to only Siddharth and Koel.

"Daddy G? Walnut?" whispered Siddharth as well.

Both the pairs of eyes made their way towards their father's, as they stood there inside the academy, during their morning drills! As Karan, Sanjana and Faizi's gaze followed where the other three pairs of eyes were looking, making them shocked as well.

"Time to go home Siddharth and Monami!" yelled Doctor Deepak Mahajan and Mr. Avinash Ganju as they grabbed everyone's attention.

The last day's conversation roamed in their minds as the two of them said together, "Hum vapis nahi ja rhe!"

While one thing was clear that Karan, Sanjana, Faizi and Koel were having tough time controlling their anger, as they found the reason for Monami and Siddharth's sorrows and their breakdown infront of them!
