Episode-134
There was a rush to complete the task. Richa went to the changing room and with the same attitude! Same spark in her eyes…the same black coat and her black heels, she was ready to go live! She entered the newsroom and felt like everything is now back to perfect. She took her seat, grabbed her coffee mug and opened the laptop! She took a sip.
Richa (looking at the laptop) "Ronnie! Aur kitna time…?" and she stopped watching the same face through the glass window.
Daljeet became confused hearing Ronnie.
Daljeet "Richa ji! It's me Daljeet" he looked towards richa.
Richa "sorry…" aur iss ek sorry ke sath wo saari yaadein uske samney thi, Ronnie aur uska wo smile karta hua chehra.
Daljeet "So, ready?" he asked breaking the memories.
Richa nodded in a yes.
Daljeet "So richa we are ready to go in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
…
Richa "namsakaar! Aj ke iss vishesh peshkash mein, mein Richa Lakhani apki swagat karti hu! Swagat ek aisey samachaar ke sath jisney bollywood ke duniya mein chahal pahal kar di hai. Ji haan! Kayi dilon ki dhadkan, bollywood ki jani-maani chehra Actress Vidhi Shah ki aj subah 9 bajke 30 minute par mrutyu ho gayi hai. Aur logon ka manna hai ki Vidhi Shah ne Aatma-hatya yaani ki suicide kiya hai lekin abhi tak pukhta sabut police ke hath nahi lagi hai. Hamari Samvaad-data Kashyap abhi Vidhi Shah ji ke Ghar ke saamne maujood hain aur hamey live report kr rahi hain.
Over to you Ananya…"
ON THE SITE
Ananya "thankyou Richa! Toh jaisa ki ap sab dekh saktey hain ki kaisey Vidhi Shah ji ke ghar ke samney maatam chayi huyi hai aur unkey achanak mrityu ki wajah sey pura bollywood khamosh hai. Hamey hamari vishesh shutron sey ye pata chali hai ki Actress Vidhi Shah kayi dino sey maanshik dawab mein thi haalan ki iski wajah abhi tak pata nahi chali hai. Aur shayad yehi wajah ho sakti hai unke suicide ke pichey. Isi bisay par aalok daalne hamarey sath maujood hain bollywood ki famous voice Gayika Sumedha Mishra.
(to Sumedha) …toh sumedha ji apko Vidhi ji ke janey par kaisa mehsus ho rha hai?"
Sumedha (with tears) "Vidhi sirf meri dost hee nahi…meri behen jaisi thi aur meine kabhi ye sochi bhi nahi hogi ki aisa deen mujhe dekhney ko milega…she was an inspiration and also a kind hearted woman!" and she broke down.
Ananya "toh sumedha ji, apko kya lagta hai…Vidhi ji ke maut ki wajah kya ho sakti hai?" she questioned.
Sumedha "pata nahi…uski kisike ke sath koi aapsi dushmani bhi nahi thi aur na hee uski family mein koi hai fir pata nahi usney aisa kyu kiya? I miss you Vidhi!" and tears rolled down from her eyes.
Ananya "toh jaisa ki ap dekh rahey hain ki vidhi shah ki koi apsi dushmani bhi nahi thi aur back to back unki sari filmein bhi hit ho rhi thi toh aisi kya wajah hogi ki unko apni jaan leni padi hogi? Is khabar ko lekar ham apsey judey rahengey Camera man sunny ke sath Ananya Kashyap, KKN, New Delhi!"
…
NEWSROOM
Richa "toh, yeh thi hamari senior reporter Ananya Kashyap! Thankyou ananya. Ab sochna yeh hai ki aakhir Vidhi Shah ne atma-hatya kyu ki? Unki kisike sath koi apsi dushmani nahi thi aur na hee koi parivaar toh kya ham ye maan ley ki unka kisike sath Affair tha ya koi aur badi wajah? Hamara manna hai ek tarfa faisla lena sahi nahi hoga lekin ham apsey judey rahengey iss khabar ki har choti se choti kadi ko lekar! Tab tak mujhe yaani Richa Lakhani ko aagyan dijiye aur dekhtey rahiye KKN! Namaskaar!"
She was done with the bulletin and was really happy after ages. It was a special telecast but still she managed it and took a long breathe.
Maalvika (from the PCR) "Richa! Welldone!"
Richa (from the newsroom) "thanks mam!" and smiled.
Maalvika "it's Maalvika" she assured.
Richa laughed a little.
Richa "ok! Thanks maalvika"
Maalvika "waisey yeh expected hee tha! Jab tum aur ananya sath hotey ho toh everything becomes way more appreciative than expected" she said.
Richa just smiled and went to the changing room.
IN PCR
Maalvika " dajeet! Well done…"
Daljeet (happy) "thanks mam!"
Maalvika "I must say! Yeh tumhara first time tha and I'm impressed!"
Daljeet smiled.
Maalvika "bahar jao! Kabir, manav and Khalid will be waiting for you!"
Daljeet "ok mam…and thanks again!" and he went towards the door.
Maalvika "aur haan…"
Daljeet turned.
Maalvika (smiling) "it's maalvika! No mam okay?"
Daljeet (smiled) "ok fine!...Maalvika" and he went with his first piece of appreciation.
Everyone was waiting for Daljeet, as he came out the PCR…baby stood infront of him with her drama open.
Baby (with her evergreen antics) "yaar sachii Daljeet paaji! Tussi toh chaa gaye! (making her eyes large) hamney toh socha hee nahi tha ki sudden telecast ap manage kar paogey…but tussi toh great ho ji, ronnie bhai ki kami mehsus hee nhi honey di" she was again sad.
Daljeet "thanks baby ji! Waise mujhe nahi pata Ronnie koun hai? Ap mujhe batayengi kya?" he just asked confusingly.
There came a voice "Ronnie KKN ka jaan tha, jisne saalon sey iss PCR ko sambhaley huye tha…wohi ek lauta tha jisne zindegi mein koi dushman nahi banaya tha…hamara input editor tha" kabir completed his sentence.
Daljeet just became silent.
Daljeet "toh sir ji? Abhi wo kahan hain?"
Kabir "kehtey hain na achey logon ko aksar bhagban jaldi bula liya kartey hain…toh there is he! Bhagban ke paas" he completed looking towards the input editor's seat.
Sunny just entered into KKN and became sad hearing all these…and went towards the cafeteria. Baby followed him and daljeet felt really sad, unknown from the fact that his face is just like Ronnie.
Manav (standing on the staircase) "really appreciable daljeet singh kullar! Mujhe lagta hai tumhey zyada kuch sikhaney ki zarurat hee nahi padegi" and he gave his charming looks.
Daljeet "thankyou sir" he just expressed his gratitude.
Kabir tapped his shoulders and turned towards manav. Even, manav aur kabir ki utni banti nahi thi…but manav hamesa sey hee kabir ka best competitor tha…in terms of looks and way of expressing. And after all, inn kuch saalon mein usney kabir ko bohut karib sey dekha tha…aur shayad isiliye itni sari kamiyon ke wabjud bhi kabir ney manav ko hee editor in chief ke kaabil samjha.
As kabir turned towards manav, he just read his face and gave his evergreen charming smile. Kabir turned back and went out of KKN smiling.
Khalid was witnessing everything.
Khalid (to maalvika) "bas! I was waiting to have these things in my KKN" he was literally happy.
Maalvika winked at him and they both went into khalid's cabin.
AT THE TEA STALL
Tinu (irritated) "kya madam ji! Bicharey tinu ko hamesa daant ti hee rehti ho"
Ananya "nahi..nahi aj sey teri aarti utarungi roz! (with cunning eyes) tu namak mera khata hai aur update kabir sir ko deta hai? Kyu rey! Tu mera banda hai ya unki?" she frowned at him.
Tinu (with down head) "kya madam ji…ap news bhi aisi leti ho ki sab kuch jaan pey bann aati hai!" he tried to make her understand.
Ananya "kya? Kya bola aur ek baar bol! Jab kabir nahi aaye the KKN mein tabh kya mujhe bachaney tu jata tha? Bolll naa!" she raised her voice.
Tinu (with crying face) "ab idhar jaunt oh fasun aur udhar jaunt oh bhi! Kabir sir ko bolun toh ap chillati ho aur kabir sir ko naa bataun toh wo mujhe blackmail kartey hain!" and he became frustrated.
Ananya (determined) "iss baar kabir sey mein baat karke hee rahungii! Mere jasus pe wo nazar daal rahey hain!"
Tinu suddenly became steady and started stealing glances from ananya.
Ananya (confused) "ab tujhe kya hua…aisey nazrein kyu chura raha hai mujhsey?"
Tinu stood up.
Tinu (nodding his head) "mein chalta hu madam ji!"
Ananya "areyy rukk toh!" and he ran away.
Angrily Anaya turned and got dashed with someone. She looked deep into his eyes. May be the both eyes were everything to her…the reason of her life and the reason behind her happiness.
AUR JANEY SE PEHLEY…
Aisey toh zindegi mein kayi atey hain aur kayi jatey hain lekin waqt khushnuma usike sath hota hai jisey apka dil chahta ho…!
