THE STUPID CUPID Chapter-13 [♥] --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- --------------------- Kunal sighed and driving the car went outside the parking lot. His eyes were constantly checking the rear side. He thought that may be Ishika would get scared and call him back but none of his theories worked. Mustering the courage again, he moved the car backside and again stopped in front of Ishika. What ?? Did you forget anything? Ishika retorted. Yup. I forget my sweet friend Ishika. Do you know her? Kunal spoke gently. Ya, may be she’s in the cabin A3. Ishika grimaced. Cabin A3. Why she’s jealous? I was working with Aadya is that why? Kunal scratched his head. Ohh, no no. You got it wrong. I’m talking about my best friend Ishika. She’s very sweet. You know how much she cares? Kunal tried to cajole her. She’s dumb. She’s bad. She’s stupid, idiot, nonsense. Ishika started blabbering about herself only. Not one more word against her. Kunal was already out of the car, holding her arm and was looking in her eyes with his eyes blazing in fury. Kunal please, it’s hurting me.. Ishika spoke softly moving her hand. It’s hurting me too Ishika. Kunal asked. Will you please tell me why are you so much irritated? Ishika asked softly putting her hand on his cheek. For a moment Kunal was taken aback by the act of Ishika. His emotions got brimmed up in his eyes. But acting strong again, he blinked back the tears and bottled up his emotions again. None of your business Ishika. Now get in the car, I’ll drop you home. Kunal snapped. No, I’m not coming. You go. I’ll take some taxi. Ishika replied. What’s your problem Ishika.? Kunal shouted badly. What’s YOUR problem Kunal? Can you please tell me why are you being so concerned.? Ishika growled. Why can’t you simply do the things I ask you to.? Kunal snarled. And why can’t you simply ignore me now as you are doing since morning. Ishika spoke. Ishika, don’t. Just don’t argue with me. Sit in the car right now! Kunal shouted and grasping her arms, he made her sit in the backseat of the car. She was sitting facing him while her legs were out of the car only. Kunal please. Ishika spoke. Quiet! I said ! Kunal spoke. He swiftly moved to the front side and from the side drawer he emerged with a first aid kit in his hands. First aid kit.? Ishika asked. Hmm.. Always have to carry it. Myra keeps doing stunts now and then. Kunal spoke briefly. But Kunal you dn’t have to.. Ishika tried to speak but was soon hushed by Kunal. Did I ask you to speak? Keep quiet or I’ll have to put this doctor tape at your mouth. Kunal grimaced. Why are you always so bossy? Ishika frowned. Coz, people aren’t used to my sweet side. Kunal sighed. Kunal sat down near Ishika with some cotton and antiseptic in his hands. He draped his hand around Ishika’s leg and slowly pulled it outside the car. Don’t try to pull it back. Don’t ask me anything. And if possible don’t even speak till you are asked to. Kunal spoke pointing his finger towards Ishika who stirred her leg. Ishika made a puppy face and rested her hands on the seat. She watched as Kunal carefully observed her wound. Dipped the cotton in the antiseptic and cleaned the injury. Aaaaa.. Ishika squealed in pain. Go. Hit the car another time. Kunal grimaced. But I wasn’t trying to hurt myself. Ishika spoke naively. Haah. I can see that. Apparently people have their car mechanised. They don’t just go and hit it 4-5 times. It doesn’t work like that. Kunal spoke rudely. You were there. You saw me doing all this. Ishika exclaimed. I’ve done the nursing. Still have a visit with the doctor. Now please shift inside. I’ve to close the door. Kunal spoke getting up and again placed the kit at its position. Kunal. I told you I’ll go. Ishika stood outside again. Let me know when you change your mood. I dn’t want to fight anymore. I’m sitting inside the car here only. Kunal spoke. Why are you behaving like this Kunal? I mean earlier you used to come and talk to me. Now when I’m giving you attention, when I’m trying to talk to you, you are just ignoring me. Tell me why? Ishika sulked. I’m not ignoring you Ishika. Kunal answered back. Hahh.. I can see that. In the afternoon, you were waiting for doing your lunch but when I offered you food you refused me and went inside. I thought maybe you just wanted to sit alone. But then your food was on the table. Am I fool? Couldn’t I see you just din’t want to have lunch with me. And then in the evening you were talking to everybody and were completely fine. But when I approached you, you said you were busy and got off. Is that how you say you aren’t ignoring me.? Ishika’s anger was soon turned into tears. Her eyes were red, voice got hoarse, profuse tears were flowing from her eyes. She was constantly speaking as well as wiping off her tears. Iishu. Please. I can’t see you crying. Please don’t cry. Kunal spoke mildly. Mr. Kunal Rajput. What you think of yourself huhh? No, I’m not crying for you. No, I’m not hurt at all. No, I won’t say that I started thinking that you are much milder than you show outside. No, I won’t say anything. Ishika hiccupped due to excess crying. I’m sorry. Hit me, slap me or abuse me but don’t cry. I’m sorry. Kunal was melted. His emotions overflowed. Barrier of love was crossed. His mind stopped working. His heart started ruling him. There were no limits. No fear of consequences. No premonitions felt. He could just see that Ishika was crying. And that very moment he just needed to be there for her. He draped his arms around Ishika. His arms were holding her head, swaying her hair. Ishika buried her head in his chest. She swathed her arms around Kunal’s waist. Don’t ignore me. It hurts me. Ishika was still crying. Iishu please. Don’t cry. Kunal spoke in a husky voice. He moved a little and then cupped her face in his hands. Her soft supple skin was drenched in tears. Her eyes were puffy red with crying. He brushed his fingers on her cheeks wiping off the tears. You are so bad. Ishika hit his back tenderly. I know right. But I know this girl can handle me. Right na? Kunal asked with a hope. Hmm.. I’ll . And ignore me next time I swear I’ll kill you. Ishika snivelled. No. I won’t ignore you. I won’t hurt you. Okay now? Kunal asked. Haan. Ishika spoke in a very innocent voice and again hugged him tightly. And you stay away from that Himanshu. He’s not good for you. Kunal spoke. I’ll. And you. You stay away from that Aadya. She flirts a lot with you. Ishika spoke. Achha.. But then it’s okay. Anyways, I’m single. How does it matter. Kunal spoke disguising his smile. Yes, his girl was jealous. And he knew that. He pumped his fist in the air imaginarily. So what. That doesn’t matter that she’ll flirt with you. You don’t understand. She’s not your type of girl. Ishika retorted looking in Kunal’s eyes. Ohh. Then what is my type of girl? Kunal feigned to be serious. Though inside he was rolling on the floor but outside he has to tame that storm. Huhh. How do I know. You deserve a much better girl. The girl who will understand you. The girl who will stay beside you. The girl who will love you. The girl who will care about you. The girl who can tell something’s wrong by looking in your eyes. The girl.. Ishika was blabbering describing the qualities the girl made for Kunal should assess. Kunal was listening to her intently watching as she was moving her eyes up and down. The way she was taking a pause to think. He smiled realising some facts that she was completely comfortable with Kunal with her arms around his waist standing outside at the midnight and moreover with her chatting. Kunal held her face between his hands. Ishika looked in his eyes still babbling. He leaned further and moved his face closer to Ishika. Ishika was still speaking but her voice was rather soft now descending its pitch. He rubbed her face softly with his fingers and finally closing the distance he pressed his lips to her lips. He kissed at her lips. It seemed like a magic spilled in the moments. Her hands were now clutching his shirt tightly without even knowing her. Her eyes were closed seeing the unseen with the eyes of heart. Her breath was stopped, heartbeat escalated. She tilted her head and kissed him back. Kunal was holding her lower lip between his lips, he softly bit at it and released Ishika. His eyes were still closed. I love you Iishu. Kunal’s warm breath expressed his words like staccato. I love you too Kunal.. Ishika looked in his eyes. The blood has flushed to her face, giving her a new profound glory. And I’m sorry, I din’t want to hurt you. I just din’t know how to handle the rush of emotions. Kunal hung his head low. It’s okay. Ishika smiled and accenting on her heel she kissed at his forehead. Are you sure you’ll handle me? I mean I become rude at times. I act irritated at times. I don’t know how to handle my emotions. I’ve never been in any relationship. Kunal sighed. I know. And that’s why I love you. Don’t worry, I’m here na. We’ll handle everything. Ishika smiled. You know I love your smile very much. Kunal kissed at her lips quickly. And I love the way you care duffer. Ishika giggled. I love you very much. Kunal spoke putting his head on her shoulder. What’s that sound? Ishika spoke. What? Kunal asked. That. You are hungry. Ishika grinned. Yup! My stomach is making weird noises. Kunal grimaced. Even I’m hungry now. Ishika frowned. Arre.. You have your lunch? Kunal chuckled. Yup! Ishika replied instantly. So what are you waiting for idiot. First of all let’s sit in the car and then have the food. Kunal exclaimed. It’s cold now. I asked you na then. Nalayak uss time kha lete to kya bigad jata tumhara Ishika made a puppy face. Arre, if I would have eaten it that time, then how would have I got this chance of car dinner? People have candle-light dinner. We’ll have car dinner at 12.30 am. I’m so lucky. Under this beautiful night with my beautiful Iishu I’ll have food. Kunal smiled. Ishika went crimson with blush. She has never imagined that her love story was going to start this way. Kunal haven’t even thought he’d be having Ishika only as his love. But as they say, love is a vicious motivator. It doesn’t matter where you are, what the circumstances are. But if you are meant to be then destiny would make you come close. No matter how much you try to resist, how much you refuse, how much you avoid, love will eventually find its way through your heart. You can escape anything in the world. Just two things are inevitable ‘love and death’. And the cupid first arrow had its magic casted. Kunal and Ishika sat in the car. Ishika unpacked the lunch still confirming if Kunal wanted to eat the cold food. Kunal frowned and snatched the lunch from her hands. He would have been formal but who would do formality when you know you are with the person who loves you very much and no matter how you want to be the way you want, the person will make you come out of your shell. Ummm.. It’s yummmyyyyyy... Kunal exclaimed. Eeee.. I’m so happy that you liked it.. Ishika beamed. Arre meri Iishu ne banaya hai accha to hona hi hai.. Kunal smiled. Ishika was pleasingly watching Kunal eating the food. Though she was famished too but her hunger went away the moment Kunal cherished the food made by her. You know that’s what love makes you do! You don’t get to know when their happiness becomes more important than anything in the world. You don’t know how their health becomes more important than yours. Kunal smiled and fed the morsel to Ishika with his hands. Ishika finally asked him reasons behind his acting so callous. Kunal, don’t you ever think that your love will be divided between me and Myra. Ishika held his hand. But still, I told you na what happened that day. Kunal sighed. It was just an accident. It’s alright. And don’t worry, Myra is not just your sister, she’s my sister too. Ishika squeezed his hand. I don’t know how will I handle things. Kunal sounded low. You dn’t even have to know it. We’ll handle things together. Myra now has two parents. And I’d never ever let you feel that Myra is getting less attention or less love. Ishika smiled. Kunal smiled. He was relieved. He couldn’t express how much he loved this girl. She meant the world to him. His second world. And the way Ishika said things with so much maturity and ease, Kunal fell more for her. He simply hugged her. Coz sometimes, when you can’t express your feelings in words, your actions speak much louder. ***To be continued*** P.S: Okay mere sad readers happy now?
