#TejRan: Angsty Shots

Nostalgia - Part 4

"And I never looked back Teju."

Tejasswi smiled. Seeing her tear stained face finally adorn a smile, Karan felt a burden being lifted off of his chest. It was so easy na? Her one smile, and everything was already so much happier. That was who Tejasswi was for him.. The light of his life.

"Mai itni important ho gayi tere liye? Itni jaldi?" Tejasswi asked.

"Haan sweety.. You have been important since that time.. Jab mai theek se jaanta bhi nahi tha tujhe.. But tu thi. Thats how much you mattered. You have been that important, from the time you entered my life.." Karan said cupping her face.

"Jab tune vo drama kiya tha na captaincy task mein? Choking vaala.. Full phatish! You scared me Teju.. Real bad. Ye sab type ke pranks tune mere saath aaj kiye na toh maine chodna nahi hai tereko mai bata raha hu mai pagal vagal ho jaaunga I will literally fuck your happiness!" Karan warned her.

Teju held his arms protectively and chuckled a bit hearing him repeat her words.

"Hamari pehli so called 'fight'.. jab tune mujhe daat lagayi thi.. Tune pata nahi mera kya aisa opinion bana liya tha apne mann mein.. Jo tune aake mujhe bataya.. Theek hai.. But jaise tune daata mujhe, jo bhi bola.. Mai, in normal circumstances door kar leta khud ko tujhse.. Ki okay this one doesn't like me for the person that I am.. So I wont bother you types.. Mujhe fark nahi padta tu jaa.. But I couldn't. I couldn't. I wanted to change that opinion.. You mattered. Vo alag baat hai ki jab mai aaya toh pata chala tu sad ke baithi thi coz you thought I had a soft corner for Shamita or something isliye maine jaake sirf usse baat ki.." Karan said chuckling.

"Shut up, no!.." Tejasswi smiled and defended.

"Chal chal sab dekha tha maine.."

Tejasswi tried to control her laughter and deny, not giving away, but he was right wasn't he?

"I was like ye kya gadhiiiii hai kya? Idhar mai iske liye gir pad raha hu isko dekhte hi.. Aur ye kisi aur hi tangent pe nikal rahi hai?" Karan laughing.

Tejasswi gawked at him with a shy smile on her face.

"That was our first fight Teju.. and I felt more closer to you than ever before. Tab decide kar liya maine, ki tujhe clear cut shabdon mein batana hi padega mujhe ki how I feel about you.. Kyuki gadhi thi tu.. Abhi bhi hai" Karan said rolling his eyes.

"I'm not a gadhi!" Tejasswi replied in a slow baby voice.

"Hai tu Laddoo, badi vaali gadhi hai tu..!" Karan said kissing her cheeks.

"Anyways so the point is.. Tabse kya kuch nahi hua Teju.. People tried to break us.. Show ne logon ko sikha padha ke bheja, taaki hum alag ho jaayein and unko drama dekhne ko mile.. Hamare beech misunderstandings hui.. Jhagde hue.. Itne bade bade massive fights.. Tabahi matlab.. Kya kya gand bola hai ek doosre ko.. Heartbreaking things. But ek cheez bhi mean nahi kiya Teju.. Ek bhi nahi.." Karan said cupping her face.

"In that anda vaala task, when you told me I didn't love you.. Sab jhagda sab argument sab kuch gaya tel lene.. Hearing that, mere pairon ke neeche se zameen khisak gayi thi. I felt like I couldn't even breathe. Coz all I ever did, was love you.. unconditionally. No matter what came our way no matter how ugly the misunderstandings or fights became.. I loved you, from every bone every cell in my body." Karan said with his eyes watering.

Tejasswi pressed her palm onto his chest trying to calm him and in return felt his raging heartbeats.

"But but but.. When in the middle of the argument next day, you.. you said accidentally that, You're in love with me.." Karan smiled.
