Companion~Hum Sohbat

Chapter 17

Taani,Rishu,Sanu are leaving tonight, Sanu and Vikku were spending alone time, Taani and Adi too wanted a quality time before the departure, Rishu was with others as being the youngest he was a lil carefree but now he's going to start a new journey, so everyone were giving him instructions.
Taani was sitting on the lap of Adi and adi held her firmly pecking her forehead every now and then, both sat in a comfortable silence but this silence held was lil painful as they didn't know how to console eachother. He was worried for letting her stay in a foreign land but he can't pull her off from her dreams,her career,her goals. Both were struggling to let go eachother, they avoided this topic but when finally the time arrived, both weren't in the right frame to accept it. Adi had already planned that he would go to London every month to meet her but she didn't knew, she has a slight idea that he would definitely come to meet her. But that one month span, staying away was way too difficult, he didn't knew what he would do without her. He would crave for her each moment, to see her,to hug her,to kiss her,to feel her, her giggles and to hold her and never let her go. Same was with Taani, from the time Adi entered her life, she became more dependant on him, physically, emotionally, mentally, staying away from him was more difficult for her, she can't keep herself sane without him, she needs him in every moment, thinking all that she started sobbing, she stood up to turn, Adi held her,

Mujhse juda hokar,
Tumhe door jaana hai
Mujhse juda hokar
tumhe door jaana hai
Palbhar ki judaai,
Phir laut aana hai
Saathiya, sang rahega, tera pyar
Adi sang, cupped her face, wiping her tears

Tumse juda hokar,
Mujhe door jaana hai
Tumse juda hokar,
Mujhe door jaana hai
Palbhar ki judaai,
Phir laut aana hai
Saathiya, sang rahega, tera pyar
Taani too cupped his face, wiping his tears, which he didn't knew escaped. Hugged each other.

Main hoon teri sajni,
Saajan hai tu mera
Tu baandh ke aaya,
Mere pyar ka sehra
Chehre se ab tere,
Hat ti nahin ankhiyan
Tera naam le lekar,
Chhede mujhe sakhiyan
Sakhiyon se ab mujhko,
Peechha chhudana hai
Sakhiyon se ab mujhko,
Peechha chhudana hai
Palbhar ki judaai,
Phir laut aana hai
Saathiya, sang rahega, tera pyar
Saathiya, rang layega, intezaar
Taani sang staying in the hug

Mere tasavvur mein,
Tum roz aati ho
Chupke se tum aakar,
Mera ghar sajati ho
Ooo sajni bada pyara,
Yeh roop hai tera
Gajre ki khushboo se,
Mehka hai ghar mera
Aankhon se ab teri,
Kajal churana hai
Aankhon se ab teri,
Kajal churana hai
Palbhar ki judaai,
Phir laut aana hai

Adi carried her to bed, taking her in hug both laid on. Unknowingly fell in sleep.
Soon it was time, so Avni came and wake them up,all got ready to leave. They left to airport, Adi didn't leave her hand for once. The announcement was made, the trio took blessings from the elders, hugged others, Sanvi and Vikku hugged each other for  longer, he pecked her forehead, "take care baby,apna khayal rakhna and mujhe call karte rehna", she nodded with tears, "aap bhi apna khayal rakhna", "yaar ro toh mat dekho you're going for studies and I promise I'll come to meet you baba, ab smile karde please",she smiled peck his lips and said" I love you", "I love you too baby" he smiled, wiping her tears and said. Adi and Taani were standing a lil far, he too hugged her tightly, coming out of hug, he wiped her tears, "take care call me once you land" she nodded looking down, "Jaan please don't cry, we'll talk daily, I swear" he made her look up holding her chin, pecked her lips,"I love you", "I love you too" she said looking in his eyes with slight tears, he nuzzled his nose with her making her giggle, he smiled, "keep smiling always". Rishu and Sanu came to them, she moved with them, they entered inside before that she turned to him ,waved bye, he too waved back.
Next day, Rey was all set to go for the interview, as he wanted to get selected on his merits, he still didn't know the company name, he's dad gave him the address, he reached the office and meet the HR, who interviewed him, Rey was confident much, he's answer impressed the HR, he got selected, he was very happy, the HR asked him to wait. HR went to CEO cabin, the CEO is none other than 'Arjun Solanki', yes the company is Solanki's. "How did the interview go, how many got selected?" asked Arjun, "Sir 3 got selected and Sir this guy Reyansh Singhania was pretty good", "hmm....wait what name did you say, Reyansh Singhania" asked Arjun amazed, "yes Sir" he passed his CV, Arjun went through his CV and was surprised to know it's Rey, he's Ranvijay Singhania's Son. He said the HR to send him in,the HR went and said Rey to meet CEO. He entered the cabin was shocked to find Arjun. "Come, take a seat" said Arjun, Rey composed himself and got seated.

Arjun - ok but why this company? You're Ranvijay Singhania's Son, you could have joined you're own company
Rey - "Sir before I join our company I want to prove myself worthy and I want to make my own identity without any recommendations"
Arjun liked his honesty, "but how will you manage studies, work and your dance?"
Rey - Sir, I'm doing MBA online so that I can give my complete attention to work and about dance, I'll give my best so that dance will not affect my work
Arjun - "good, well in that case you're welcome to Solanki's company, meet the HR and he'll inform you, your work and the timings" he forwarded his hand for a handshake, Rey smiled and reciprocated, "thank you Sir, can I request you something" asked a lil hesitated, Arjun nodded, "I don't want anyone to know I'm Ranvijay Singhania's Son", Arjun smiled and nodded. Rey left from there, he meet the HR and left to his home. Arjun went to home and told about Rey to Avni,Adi and Vikku, they were too amazed,they knew he is genuinely honest guy just has a bad influence of friends, now he's got the right path, Vikku too told them about what he heard in the rehearsal hall(Rey's clash with the gang).
Next day Rey went to mall, he thought of getting some formal outfits for office. He was walking, he's eyes fell on a small girl who was standing outside a shop was watching a doll, he recognised her, she's Aradhya, he looked around to find with whom she came. He went to her, kneeled, "hi aap yahan kya kare rahe ho", she pouted making him smile, "main woh doll dekh rahi thi" said in her baby voice, "aap akhele aayi ho, kaun hai aapke sath", she looked around, "mama ke saath, but mama kahan hai", pouting more her face showed like a lost kid, he understood. "Ok baby hum aapki mama ko dhoond the hai ok" trying to cheer her, "ok" said in a small voice, he looked around and he saw Avni standing with bags looking around, seem like she's searching for Aru. Rey took her to Avni, as soon as Avni saw aru, she kept her bags aside, hugged her, kissed her face. "Aru kahan chali gayi thi, bola tha na hath chodke nahi jana, bahut pareshan karti ho, lana hi nahi chahiye tha sath mein" scolded her making Aru whinn. "It's ok bacchi hai aap daatiye mat" said Rey who was silently watching, Avni looked at him and was surprised, "Rey tum yahan", "yeah woh main shopping aya tha and I saw her alone", "thank you so much Rey"said Avni with gratitude, "that's fine, aap akhele itna bags carry kar rahi hai with a kid, kisiko sath lana chahiye tha"said Rey with concern.

Avni smiled, "sure" she took the bags, "I'll hold them" said Rey, "Rey nahi it's fine", Rey was reluctant but later he agreed carrying Aru. They shopped for him and Avni helped him choosing,"thank you so much ma'am aapki choice bahut acchi hai, usually my shopping is done by mom and I accompany her carrying the bags" Rey said chucking, she too chuckled, "that's cute, it's Adi with me who does this, sab ki shopping mein karti ho and Sanvi, Taani, Ishu my younger sister are my shopping partners, but Tanu or Sanu gaye London and Ishu is busy with medical", "medical" said Rey in confusion, "Haan Ishani is studying MBBS", "oh wow" said Rey. They went to food counter, Rey brought sandwich for Avni and him and pizza for Aru.
