Chapter 12 Kalpana gulped as she stared at his humongous empire. In the morning she had said to Raghav that she would manage things on her own , but now - standing outside Prem Kapoor's house she was seriously giving second thoughts on her decision.
Putting a step forward , nearing the gate she read the board - 'Beware of dogs'.
" Indeed , iss ghar mein toh kutta hi rehta hai" she mumbled to herself to distract her mind - a mind that was freaking out on the fact that she was accused for a drug conspiracy case , a mind that was afraid of entering the enemy's territory to get proofs to prove her innocence , a mind that was also scared of ...umm...umm..err...
"OK Kalpana Jadhav ..you aren't scared of dogs ! Besides medical science has advanced soo much. Just because u had to take 16 injections when u were a kid after a dog had bitten you ... doesn't mean you will have to take those same horrible injections again. And you never know , maybe the dogs would be asleep ...or ...or "
With hesitant steps she continued walking as she got nearer & nearer & nearer to the gate ...peaking through the grill she saw the huge black dog & its brown partner dog asleep. She huffed a sigh of relief , they were tied as well.
Tididing-ding-tididingding-ding ...it was her god damned phone - the traditional Nokia ringtone which she never bothered to change. That very moment she felt she should have since it somehow manages to pierce through the ears of ...Idk ..even a person standing at a distance of 1km ! And here ? The dogs were right in front of her & they have sharp ears already , sign they ? It wasnt very late when
Bark - bark bark -bark - bark , as the guards came running down to the gate & she was forced to flee. Now hiding behind the farthest wall of the lane she answered the wrong-timing wala phone call.
K : Aur koi time nahi Mila tujhe phone karne Paakhi ?
P : Kalpuuu ... I'm so so so so sorry ! I heard what happened - its all my fault , all of it is ! Neither would i have been to the prom with Prem nor would you have fallen in trouble while saving me. I'm sorry kalpi , I'm such a trouble maker... I really am ! Slap me , hit me , punish me all you want kalpi , I deserve it !!!
She could hear Paakhi 's sobs on the other side of the phone as she herself felt bad for shouting at her earlier. The poor girl only wanted to apologize ..
K : Accha accha ...OK ...now stop crying will you ? How will I face these monsters if my bestie's crying stays at the back of my mind ?
P : Monsters kalpi ? To what I know you only refer dogs as monsters ..and ever since one bit you I remember Vitthal uncle get rid of all dogs in ur are... soo
K : I have told you so many times to not take that useless man's name Paakhi !
P : It just slipped kalpu , I'm sorry ! But tell me where are u now ?
K : I shall , but promise me you won't tell it to anybody.
P : Promise ! I swear on our friendship kalpi ...I promise I won't tell anyb...
Kalpana chuckled at Paakhi 's innocence , mentally thanking God that she was in that whole complicated situ & not Paakhi.
K : Ok so listen ...I'm here in this place so I can gather something against him & some proofs in my favor ...I'm outside Prem's house Paakhi !
P : You what ? Have you gone mad ? Have you totally gone crazy ? I was just about to speak to dad about the situation u are in ...I know he'll definitely do something. We'll hire the best detectives & lawyers ...but you first go home kalpi , please ! It isn't safe ...
Disconnect , she pressed it ! She trusted nobody but herself in this matter she thought determinately & got up from her place. Staring at Prem's house from afar , she rolled up her sleeves .. "It was time he realized that he'd messed up with a wrong person!" & prepared to run in Prem's house's direction...
She hadn't even moved an inch when ...
K : What the...
Choke ...she felt someone hold the back of her collar & pull her back towards itself
R : Meri P.T. Usha , how many times do you wish to be driven away by those dogs in there ? Ha foolish partner ?
Partner ?? Only one guy called her that. Arghh...what was he doing there ???
Next one - I'll make it longer ...with some paper hearts style wale jhagde & ragna ! 😃😉
