Karan got kadi chawal in 2 big bowls.
He kept it on the bed n sat besides teju.

Teju- I dont feel like eating. I feel pukish.

Kk- I know the feeling. But you have to eat the whole bowl.

Teju- I cant.

Kk- Ok lets do 1 bite at a time.

Kk fed her a bite.
She kept the bite in her mouth.

Kk- Arrey why do u keep storing food. Just chew n swallow now.

Teju- I m Sorry karan.

Kk- sunny.

Teju- Can i still call u that.

Kk- Itna kamzor nahi hai humara rishta teju.

Teju- Sorry sunny. I know i have hurt you.

Kk- ok. Now lets move on.

Kk- eat faster teju.

Teju- Its ladooo

Kk smiled n gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Teju- how did u know it was a breakdown? I didn't understand what was happening. No mattter how hard a tried i couldnt control my tears. Aise nahi hota hai usually.

Kk- Its your first breakdown. Thats the worst one. You feel like u r loosing everything.

Teju- agar tu nahi hota toh?

Kk- But hoon na. Wont let anything happen to you my love.

Teju- have u ever had a breakdown??

Kk- yup.

Teju- when??

Kk- Few times.

Teju- who was there when u had the first breakdown

Kk- No one.

Teju- what? Your friends or family or someone.

Kk- I had no one. I handled it myself alone.

Teju- Baby i m sorry. I wish i could be there. But i will always be there for u .

Kk- Hmmmm

Teju- Did i ask too much? It brought back bad memories??

Kk- Its not that. I dont want anyone to ever feel the emptiness that i felt for yrs. Agar koi hota toh shayad main kuch dino mein sambhal jaata.

His eyes welled up.
Teju hugged him tight.

Kk- hence when i saw you like that i just couldnt take it. You are my world. Cannot see you in so much pain.
M always here for u baby. Nothing can ever come between us.

Kk- we will fight n then make up n then again argue but we have to always be there for each other.

Teju- i promise i will always be there. I promise i will keep a check on my anger. I will control it.

Kk- Why??

Teju-  cos main kuch bhi bolti hoon. I have to grow up.

Kk- No. I want you to be u. Life teaches you different lesson with different experiences.

While talking kk fed her who bowl of kadi chawal

Teju- tune toh kuch khaya hi nahi. Wait i will feed you.

Kk- Not hungry.

Teju- Abhi tak gussa hai.

Kk- Gussa nahi hoon.
