Challenge :

Assume that ETF is on a case investigation or some surveillance work to a Krishna temple...assume there is a bomb scare or a alert call and its a prestigious temple...So ETF is pulled in!
Its festival time and there is a grand mela...so there are lots of krishna leela plays being staged during the nights...
You are on undercover and are forced to act in a play...Krishna and Meera (remember not Radha...so no romantic duets...only bhajans!)
But Tahi remains Tahi na, and she is hopelessly in love with her Kanha...so she tries her best and uses this play to get his attention but very subtly, gently...no over romance ok? which means only gazes...no touching...chalo, ek choot dehte hai u can touch only the feet...not anywhere else! bhagwaan hai na? respect toh deni hi hogi!
write the whole sequence till the very end when the curtain falls and Arjun gives you the threat of the day and a glaring look before he storms out of the stage!
And you sit there on the floor posing back as the ever waiting MEERA!!
So, this challenge is by Vidya Didum who had managed to keep my hands off from hotwa and sing a bhajan instead 😲 Bravo! 😉
This is almost a turn off 🤪 Ah well, bhajan gaane ko kaha, I did 😉
Now lemme get back on bed with Hotwa and hide under the duvet ☺️ (yes, you can't tame PC 🤪)
Happys readings! 😆
----------------------------------
"O lord, Mira's pain will only go, when the Dark One is the healer."
"Yeh? Aur Meera? Huh" Arjun snarled, letting out a sarcastic laugh.
Tahi clasped her hands in anger; wringing her eyes at him, she snapped back, "Kyu? Main Meera kyu nehi bann sakti?"
Sameer rolled his eyes as his brilliant officers had again started their never ending verbal fight. He motioned others to get to their assigned positions and left these two alone.
Festival time..a perfect camouflage for criminals. ETF had been called in to this prestigious Krishna Temple as some secret source had suspected a bomb threat along with a terrorist attack. They couldn't evacuate the temple as a grand fair was doled out where every night, various Krishna leelas were staged. People would go nuts if the police closed down the temple or walked into this holy place with guns.
Having no other choice, DIG called in his best team so deal with this situation.
These two, Sameer groaned as he and Aisha walked to their assigned stage where they would play as Radha-krishna. Under covered, commandos had secured the area but they needed someone in the stages for the artists could be in danger too; thus, left them no choice but play the characters instead.
"Oh wait." She cut him off again and continued as he rolled his eyes at her, "Kahi aapko toh Meera nehi banna hai na, SIR?" she asked him with her fake I-am-so-clueless expression.
Arjun glared at her and shot back, "Yeh..yehi jo tumhari aadat hai na, Meera se different hai. Tum dono ki tangent hi alag hai."
Tahi knotted her brows together, pouting. He was right. Meera was this soft-spoken, mild-mannered, gifted, sweet lady who sang with a melodious voice; one of the most extraordinary beauties of her time.
She was everything Research Specialist Tahi Sarkar was not.
There wasn't a single similarity between these two ladies, Tahi sighed. Except one, her subconscious mind purred in.
Yes, both the ladies hopelessly loved their men who they couldn't have..single minded devotion.
Neeh, it'd be only her. At least, Meera belonged to Krishna all along and her Kanha did acknowledge her love for him. But the Kanha, Tahi was in love with, he didn't even wish to see her face.
As Krishna was Radha's'sameway, Arjun was Roshni's only.
Cruel life, she pouted.
Staring at his face and seeing the angry expression he'd copyrighted for her, she hid her grief behind one of her smirks. "Vaise bhi, aapko sirf back stage mein khare hi rehna hai."
Thank Nandkishor for that! Her subconscious mind sent out a prayer.
Imagine him showing off his broad shoulders and a dhoti that hang loosely under the perfectly toned stomach! Nakko baba, paap chadega even to think what she'd like to do to him rather than doing his aarti.
And singing a bhajan? Huh..she'd rather start describing his physical attributes if he even came half naked infront of her and sing songs like "Ahaaw, I love to love you, baby" or "He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look then the panties comin' off, off, uh", dedicated to those sexy angry glares he almost always shot at her way.
..regardless if he was playing a role of a God.
Realizing she had been openly drooling at him as he crossed his arms, catching her checking him out with mouth wide open; lost in her own fantasy world. This woman.
Snapping out of her trance, she rushed into the backstage, away from his questionnaire but not before saying,
"Ab Meera toh apki main hi hu aur aap meri kanha. Aap chaho ya na chaho, maano ya na maano."
If only he could understand the hidden meanings behind it.
-----
The stage is set on Krishna's Janmashtami at the temple of Krishna. There was much happiness all around in the abode of the Lord. The light of the lamps, the sound of the bhajans and the liveliness from the devotees' ecstasy around the Krishna idol were filling the air.
O re kanha
nainako naahi chain
nainako naahi chain
Tahi, dressed as Meera, ith Tamburi in one hand and cymbals or chipla in the other, the great tapasvini was singing ecstatically with her Gopala smiling in front of her closed eyes. Funny enough, it was Arjun she could see smiling.
Bhor takat hai, rah tihari
Jage na sove re nain,
Nainako naahi chain
Tahi stood up and danced with her song in renunciation and single-minded devotion to him..her kanha. Surrendering her mind, emotions and the soul to him, hoping he would reciprocate.
But alas! There he was in the backstage..standing right behind the idol. Glaring and seething in anger..totally tuning out the love, the devotion she was pouring out. Their eyes locked and he knew, she was singing devoting herself to him, not to Lord Krishna.
What was she trying to do? Win him over by singing a bhajan? He was certain, this woman could only lust over him but love? He wouldn't believe it.
She was so transparent.
Besides, he was no Krishna and belonged to Roshni only.
Jug jug se more tan man pe naam likha he tera
Jugwale ka jaane kahe nata tera mera
Tu mori ganga jamuna,
tu hi mori trishna
Main Meera,
main Meera tu Krishna
She gazed at him, trying to read what was behind his loath. Sighing, she stumbled and fell at the flowers on the feet of the idol. Everyone watching in awe, as a bright lightening engulfed the stage momentarily blinding the audience.
Taking her cue, she rushed into the backstage but tripped over the carpet and fell on his feet. She touched her feet ever so lightly and then her maang; noticed by Arjun. (Hayo rabba, so philmy🤪)
"Tumhe Kanha ka feet par girna tha, meri nehi." Arjun sarcastically murmured, making no attempt to help her.
Tahi still lost in her trance, whispered, "mujhe jaha hona tha wahi hu'Apne kanha ki feet mein hi hu." Leaving Arjun baffled with her statement, as she looked upto him.
And the sun of a gun didn't even help her getting up but took a step back and stood still, crossing his arms over, flexing the muscles to no extend. Her hurt feelings got changed into desire; ogling at him.
Stay focused Tahi.
Smacking her inner self, Tahi stood up confused as he took a step towards her which meant danger.
"Kya kar rahi thi tum?" He snarled.
Tahi, avoiding the depth of it, snapped back, "Kya kar rahi thi? Bhajan gaa rahi thi, sunai nehi diya ya aap behre ho?"
Being too annoyed, he ignored her tone and snarled shocking her out of her wits, "I know what you were trying to do back in the stage and here and I need you to stop. Do you hear me?"
Tahi started to say something but Arjun pointed a finger, making her stop. "Aise paitre ajmake mere kareeb ane ki koshish bhi matt karna. Dur raho mujhse. Samjhi ya samjhau?" (Chup ve, ro dungi aur kuch bola toh😆)
He stomped his feet one more time before storming out of the stage.
Crumpled and crushed, she stumbled on the floor once again as his words slowly sink in. She counted his steps, as the tears made their way out...sitting broken hearted once again like the ever waiting Meera.
Neh ki dori tum sang jori
Humse to nahi jaavegi todi
Hey murali dhar krishna murari
Tanik na aave chain
Raah take mere nain ...
