AriKa One Shot: Hai tujhe bhi ijaazat..!

He broke the glass and took Tipsy out of the car, ambulance had reached. She was unconscious, could listen nothing, could see nobody. Karan's eyes were moist, he had never thought even in his worst nightmares to see Tipsy in this state, it killed him from inside. Deep within, he was cursing himself for all this which she was going through. She was taken inside the ambulance, Karan sat besides her, not leaving her hand, not leaving her at all. 'You'll be fine Tipsy, you'll be fine, you need to be all okay. For me, for us, do you hear me?' He cried and brought her hand close to his lips and dropped uncountable kisses on her hand.

She was taken to the hospital. Karan told the doctors that she had inhaled some fatal gas. They took her immediately to the oxygen chamber to increase the content of oxygen in her blood. Karan didn't leave her side for a second, he wanted to be with her even when the doctors examined her. But he was forced by the doctors to leave her for sometime. 'I'm warning you doctor, she should get fine, if anything happens to her, I'll destroy this damn hospital' saying this he started leaving the room, but turned back again to see her for one more time.

Doctors came out after sometime, Tipsy was out of danger now. They informed Karan that any further delay would have caused organ failure and even death. Karan was relived hearing that she was fine. He thanked the doctors and asked them if he could see her.

Tipsy was out of danger and recovering slowly . Doctor had told Karan, that Tipsy would still be a bit weak but would get fine after some time. She was shifted from the oxygen chamber to a different room. She was still unconscious and her frame appeared as if she was in deep peaceful slumber. 

Karan went close to her and sat down besides her. His eyes were firm fixed on her angelic face. Tears were not ready to leave his dark brown eyes. He didn't even remember when he had cried this much, it was his fear of losing someone special, the fear of losing his most precious thing that made him weep like a small boy. His hands were shivering, he felt weak and broken, he'd prefer anything but seeing his Taanpura lying unconscious in a hospital bed. Taking his warm hand to her face, he touched her cheek softly. He caressed her face tracing his fingers against her soft skin. 'Wake up Tipsy, open your eyes goddamn it, I can't see you like this'. He spoke softly. She was his special lady, he only wished to be her special man, her only special man. And it pricked his heart to see his special lady lying down like that.

He bent down a bit, touched her forehead and planted a feathery kiss on her forehead. 'I can not afford to lose you Tipsy, I just can not'. He whispered against her face. His closeness, his touch, his presence had this impact on her that she stirred a bit, like a dry leaf moved when a slight breeze blew. He pulled himself back not leaving her side. She was regaining her senses, her fingers moved a bit, he slipped his hand into hers and clutched her hand tightly. She opened her eyes and saw him first. 'Thank god you've opened your eyes, daraa diya tha tumne Dr. Nagrajan'. He smiled at her. She was still weak and hesitated finding him this close to her. 'Main yahan kaise aai, what happened, why am I here?' Taking her hand possessively between both his hands he spoke, 'bata dunga sab, par abhi nahi you need to calm down and take rest. Abhi tum bilkul theek ho, we'll leave for the hotel in sometime'. 

She tried pulling her hand out of his grip, 'leave my hand' she commanded. 'I won't Tirupu' he grinned. This annoyed her but she could do nothing. Just then Amma and Sherry entered the room. Amma was crying hard and was anxious to see her daughter. Tipsy again tried to free herself from his tight grip but he wasn't ready to do so. 'I said leave my hand. Don't create a scene in front of Amma please step back Mr. Khanna'. He ignored her and looked at Amma, 'Aaiye maaji, see your Tirupu is absolutely fine' He smiled broadly! Sherry was noticing the proximity between Karan and Tipsy and threw a waah-bhae-waah-lage-­raho look at Tipsy! 'I got so scared Tirupu, if Karan had not come to you on time, I don't even know what would have happened to you' Tipsy tried consoling her mother 'amma please don't cry, your tears make me cry too, see I'm fine and smiling,see' she smiled sheepishly with moist eyes. 

'And your tears make me cry Naagarjun' Karan whispered to her and wiped off tears from the corner of her eyes. She was pleasantly surprised with his move. Sherry coughed naughtily to break the ice, 'behen abhi to humein sangeet mein dance bhi karna hai aur aaj to extra special day hai, kyun Karan?' Karan blushed a bit and stood up, 'haan yes, ab sab extra special hi hai' he scratched his temple, 'main doctors se milke aata hoon' saying this he left the room with a smile plastered on his face.

Tipsy was fine now, she was discharged from the hospital. Karan wanted to take her directly to the hotel room so that she could take enough rest and get absolutely fine. But Tipsy being the kindest soul, insisted to go to the Sangeet ceremony. She didn't want herself to be a spoiler and above all, didn't want Karan to miss out on the function. Karan took her to the venue, Trisha and Rohan came upto them and asked if Dr. Nagrajan was fine? Tipsy assured them that she was all okay and they should enjoy the ceremony and she'd see them all enjoying. Karan saw Romila who was hiding behind a tree the moment she was Karan and Tipsy. Karan went to her, ' Ek baar ye ceremony khatam ho jaaye fir I'll let you know Kisi ke saath aisa karne ka result kya hota hai, I won't leave you Romila. Aaj Tipsy ko kuch ho jata naa, main nahi jaanta mera kya hota and it's all because of you! I'll never forgive you.' Before Romila could utter a word, Karan left her and came back to Tipsy.

'Why are you still standing? Baith jaao kahin, tumhe restless feel hoga nahi to' He was concerned for her. 'Why are you not leaving me? Har jagah scene create kar rahein hain, pehle hospital Mein ab yahan, what has happened to you? She was angry on him. 'Because I can't leave you! Chipak ke rahunga tumhaare saath jaise tum reh rahi thi ab tak! Us din jab wapas Mumbai jaa raha tha main, jaane diya tha tumne? Nahi naa. Aur please ye scene ween ki baat mujhse mat karo, I give a damn to what others might think!'

'I can't leave you because it's my job Mr. Khanna , I'm assigned to be with you!' She tried making him understand. 'Oh Naagraaju, I can't leave you because it's my job too, I'm also assigned to be with you, bas tum samajh nahi paa rahi ho!' He grinned at her.

'You are disgusting' she was annoyed. 'And you are beautiful' he winked at her. Hearing this, she went numb for a few seconds, her heart skipped beats, she didn't know what to say and how to say something. 'You're on the wrong track Mr. Khanna' she lowered her eyes. 'For the first time in my life, I'm on the right track Dr. Nagrajan'. He gave his trademark smile. 'Mujhe Amma Ke pass jaana hai' saying this she left him standing behind.

The function was going on in full spring. People were dancing and singing, everybody was happy. But someone was the happiest. It was the superstar Karan Khanna, the man who ruled over millions of hearts. For the first time, someone was ruling over his heart. He had never thought that he would fall head over heels for someone, that too for Dr. Nagrajan who he thought to be an auntie when he first met her, who he didn't even consider to be of opposite sex, who he thought didn't have any sex appeal, yes, he was going crazy for her! 

His eyes were not leaving her, he even noticed her stealing glances at him, he laughed softly! 'Aag to udhar bhi lagi hai Tirupu, bas tum samajh jaao please' he rubbed his hands! She was too scared of all that was happening, she would have never imagined that a few days trip to Mahabaleshwar would turn out to be the most important chapter of her life. Her eyes met with his', he smiled at her but she stood steady. He took both of his hands curved the fingers and made a heart for her. And inside his chest, his heart was doing somersaults. Seeing his sweet gesture her eyes welled up, she nodded her head a bit and took her hands and curved her fingers too to make a heart, he was surprised, he bit his upper lip, was it a dream? He thought. She made a heart and broke it at once with tears in her eyes. He was taken aback, his heart ached as if a sharp glass pricked against it. He stood fixed there with a stern face staring at her and thought, 'I'll woo you Tipsy, I'll win over your heart, fir tum khud is toote dil ko fix karogi Tipsy I promise you'.

The function ended. Everybody went back to their rooms, Tipsy was going to her Amma's room. 'Stop Tipsy, I think tumhe mere suite mein mere saath rehna chaiye' 'Nahi, I think aapko apne suite Mein aur mujhe mere room mein rehna chaiye, main subah milti hoon aapse breakfast ke pehle I'll come to give you the doses. Don't worry about it!' She was not even looking at him when she spoke. 'You sure you won't come?' 'Yes, I am.'

'Fine then, main aaj saari raat daaru peeunga, Hirani ko bata dunga ke I don't want his Shuddam , dede Shah Rukh Salman ko, I give a fish about it.' He was pissed off with Tipsy. She was making everything difficult for him. He left for his suite. She stood behind perplexed. As much as she didn't want to go to him, she also thought that he was her 125th case, the movie was very important for him, this very deaddiction process was a top secret mission. Her professional ethics overtook her fears and nervousness. She informed her amma and went to Karan's suite.

Karan was sure that she won't come, he stood in his suite with a grumpy face. It was not even five minutes and he had already started missing her presence. He ran his fingers through his thick hair and breathed heavily. 'Stop being so tough with me Tipsy!' He thought. Just then, someone knocked the door, to his surprise it was his Pandu Hawaldar. 'Tum yahan? You sure you'll stay here?' He wasn't expecting her. 'Side hatenge please? Mujhe andar aana hai, I can not spend the entire night standing at the door!' 'oops sorry sorry, hawaldaar ko raasta do bhae' He laughed expecting a backfire from her, but she didn't respond. She went to her room and started arranging her things. He was happy with the fact that she was at least around him, and this itself was rejuvenating him.

Later in the night, neither Karan nor Tipsy was asleep. Tipsy stood near her room's window looking blankly at the stars in the sky. She had no idea what was happening with her, her heart, mind and soul were fighting battles every single moment. She had never felt this way ever. Her heart was thumping in her chest. How could she even sleep?

Karan wanted to check her once. The door to her room wasn't locked. She might have forgotten to lock it. Karan peeped inside and couldn't find her in the bed. He looked around and found her standing near the window. He went into her room. 'Itna sochogi naa mere baare mein to' he went close to her ears and whispered 'pyaar ho jayega tumko bhi Tirupuuu'. He giggled. She was shocked and angry both at the same time to see him in her room that too at that time and so close to her! His manly cologne filled her soul and sent maddening sensations down her belly. 

'Why are you here? Kya chaiye aapko?' She stepped back. 'Tumhe nahi pata kya chaiye mujhe? Samajh nahi aa raha tumhe?' He rolled his tongue inside his mouth. 'Behave Mr. Khanna, you're crossing your limits' 'Tell me what my limits are! Kya hadein hain humari? Batao?'

'Aap mere patient hain aur main aapki counsellor, that's it, usse zyada usse kam kuch nahi!'
'Are you sure, hum sirf ek patient aur ek counsellor hain, just like any other normal client jiski photo tum apni wall pe taangti ho?' 
'Yes, humari equation waisi hi hai' she denied whatever he meant to say.
'No, I don't think so, humare beech kuch to aisa hai jo bahot special hai, I can feel it aur tum bhi feel karti ho bas bolne se darti ho!' He jerked her shoulders.
'Jaisa aap soch rahe hain waisa kuch nahi hai, na kabhi ho sakta hai, just one more week to go. Fir aap apne raaste aur main apne raaste , pehle ki tarah and dare you touch me like this!' She removed his hands with a slight jerk.
'Jaisa main soch raha hoon waisa kyun nahi ho sakta batao, bachhi ho tum? Adult nahi ho, shaadi nahi karogi? Ya life mein koi hai pehle se tumhare? Bologi nahi to samjhoonga kaise yaar main?' He was frustrated with her attitude towards him.
'Why should I tell? Who are you? Aapki importance kya hai meri life mein? Ek client se zyada kuch nahi' She moved away from him.

His eyes got moist. The man who was a heartthrob of millions of hearts almost suffered rejection. Dr. Tripura Sundari Nagrajan rejected him. 

With a choked throat he spoke, 'Ek sawaal ka jawaab dedo mujhe tum, alcohol se de-addict kar diya hai tumne mujhe. Khud se de-addict kaise karogi?'

She couldn't hold back her tears hearing this, closing her eyes, she allowed her tears to roll down her cheeks.

'You're destroying yourself Mr. Khanna'
'No I'm not, tum meri aadat ban gayi ho Tipsy, mujhe zaroorat hai tumhari! I need you every day every moment now, ye samajh gaya hoon main.'
'Aapki aur meri dunia alag hai Mr. Khanna, aur do alag raaston par chalne waale log kabhi ek saath nahi chal sakte'
'Main apna raasta badal doonga tumhare saath chalne ke liye! Aur dunia kaise alag hai Tipsy?'
'Aap itneeee bade superstar aur main ek choti si counsellor! Jitna bada aapke bangle ka kamra hoga naa Mr. Khanna bas utni badi to meri dunia hai'
'Mujhe bhi bas wahi dunia chaiye apni Sundari ke saath, mere bangle ke kamre mein humari dunia ho jahan sirf hum ho. Kya problem hai ismein?'
'Aap zidd kyun kar rahe hain? Please leave me Mr. Khanna, I beg of you ' she cried.
'Stop crying dammit! I can't see you like this, roti ho to aisa lagta hai chudail aa gayi hai tumko, Dr. Rangrajan ko aai chudail! Ooh sorry Nagrajan' he made an attempt to stop her from crying.

She tapped her foot on the floor in annoyance.

'Achha you get annoyed na jab main tumhara naam bigaadta hoon? Mere pass ek idea hai'
'I am not interested in any of your ideas, jaa kyun nahi rahein hai aap?'
'Chala jaunga idea sunlo pehle! Main na tumhara naam nahi liya karunga abse! Jaise humare India mein wives apne husbands ka naam nahi leti hain na? Waise main bhi nahi liya karunga aur tumhe ae ji, oh ji, lo ji, suno ji, bolunga' Tum mujhe Mr. Khanna, no no, Karan aur main tumhe ae ji! Kitne pyaare lagenge hum dono' He laughed out aloud.
'You find this funny? mujhe naa abhi aap par itna gussa aa raha hai na ke main'
'Maarogi mujhe, maar lo, tumhari maar bhi seh lega Karan Khanna'
'You're sick Mr. Khanna!'
I'm besotted with you! And I can't help it aur tumhe andaza bhi hai ye feeling kitni achhi hai?'

She covered her face with her hands trying to suppress her emotions.

'Look at yourself Tipsy!' He turned her a bit so that she could see her reflection in the mirror. She saw them together in the mirror, he smiled at her. 'You are so pure, so divine, I don't want anything wrong to happen to you ever! Tum roti ho to aise lagta hai mujhe jaise someone pricked my heart with a knife and is continuously twisting it! Tumhe har dukh takleef se chupa kar rakhna chahta hoon main. Ke kisi ki buri nazar tumhe dekh naa sake' He held her possessively through her shoulders.

The shield that she had created around her heart melted with his honesty and innocence. When did she get this lucky, fortunate to have someone as loving and expressive as Karan Khanna in her life? 'Thoda sa samay bhi nahi le sakti kya main? Saari baatein aaj hi kar lenge to kal parso kya karenge?' Her eyes twinkled looking him.

'Of course time le sakti ho, jitna mann kare utna le sakti ho, naa main kahin jaa raha hoon na tumko jaane dunga ab!'
'Filhaal aap apne room mein jaayenge sone, it's too late Mr. Khanna and I hate staying awake this late !'
'Chalo naa tum sulaa do mujhe, this monster needs love too! He winked at her!

She blushed hard that he even remembered her tshirts! 'Behave Mr. Khanna, good boy act zyada lamba kyun nahi kar sakte aap? Shayad kuch baat ban jaaye?' She bit her lower lip.

'hahahaha baat to banke rahegi jiiii dilwaale dulhaniaa le hi jaayenge'

She turned red like a tomato hearing this! 'Mujhe jaana chaiye ab!' saying this he brought himself close to her brushing his lips slightly against her ear, 'good night' he whispered. She could feel his breathes on her body. He grinned broadly at her! 'I said good night' 'haan, good night' she lowered her eyes. Hearing this, he left for his room and she stood behind admiring his retreating frame.

That's about it! Thanks for all the patience people!
