PART- 11
There she was standing wearing a halter neck blue top with white shorts waving at him and smiling to the fullest.
Milind," Oh God! What is she doing here''. Please someone save me." he said looking out for an escape.
Prachi," Who is she and why do you need to hide out?" she asked Milind who was acting weirdly.
Milind," That's Mallicka Singhania, she was the biggest slut of our college." he said in a hurry tone and was about to turn and escape out when Mallicka caught hold of his arm.
Mallicka," Hey Milind, how are you darling and we are meeting after so many days?" she said pecking him on his cheeks.
Prachi saw this and was a bit uncomfortable. She simply didn't like this act by Mallicka and was about to move from there when Milind held her wrist and stopped her while she looked at him in surprise.
Milind," Hey Mallicka, actually was busy in work so didn't got time to hang around." he said normally while still holding Prachi's wrist.
Mallicka," Who is she Milind?" she noticed Prachi standing by his side and looking at her.
Milind," Mallicka, this is Prachi, my best friend and Prachi this is Mallicka, my college mate." he introduced both of them.
Prachi," Hello Mallicka." she said sweetly but in response Mallicka gave her a disgusted look.
Mallicka," I thought that only Neev is your best friend'.. But anyways, Milind I need to talk to you something'' alone and in personal." she said the last words looking at Prachi.
Prachi," Milind I am in that shop and Mallicka it was nice meeting you'.. For now excuse me." and Prachi went towards the shop without once looking at them.
Milind," Prachi'' Prachi." he called out but she didn't looked back.
Mallicka," Milind let her go'' So where was I." and she started her insensible talking.
True that she was the slut of the college but the whole college used to call her chatter box because of her unstoppable mouth. Sometimes it caused headaches to the people who were listening to her and for now Milind was her new victim.
Prachi was inside the shop looking at the pendants while deciding which one to buy, when she turned around and saw both Milind and Mallicka were standing at the same spot. Mallicka was conversing non-stop, while there was no interest shown on Milind's face who was only thinking how to leave from there. Seeing this Prachi sighed, she took out her cell and dialed a number.
Milind,"Excuse me Mallicka''. My phone is ringing." he said making her stop her mouth and answered his call.
"Sorry to disturb you Sir, but there is an emergency in the office and we need you here as soon as possible." a voiced called from the other end.
Milind," Emergency in the office'.. Now." Milind said aloud and Mallicka listened quietly.
Milind," The voice is of Prachi'. but how come she went to my office." he thought frowning and turned around to look at the shop where she had gone. Prachi was standing there looking at him with her eyebrows raised and with a smile on her lips' she too was holding her cell to her ears. Milind quickly took the cue and turned back to Mallicka.
Milind," Emergency in the office, I am coming just now." he quickly said and cutted the call.
Milind," Mallicka, there is a problem in the office. My secretary called me and I need to be there urgently. Sorry but we will talk later'.. Bye." he said rushing out from there.
Mallicka," Milind'' Milind listen to me." but before Mallicka could stop him, he was already out of her sight.
Prachi saw this and smiled to herself, shaking her head she kept back her phone in her bag.
Prachi," Ok so which one should I buy'' both the pendants are so pretty." Prachi asked herself.
"Need any help Madam." someone said from behind and Prachi turned back to see Milind standing there smiling at her and she too returned his smile.
Prachi," Sir is your problem sorted out in your office?" she asked innocently.
Milind," When my secretary is so smart and intelligent'' there's no need for me to worry about anything." he said just acting like her and on that both laughed heartedly.
Milind," Seriously Prachi, thanks a lot. If you hadn't called me, I would have stood there the whole night listening to that Mallicka radio." he said laughing.
Prachi," Mention not Sir." she said laughing back.
Milind," Ok now stop calling me Sir."
Prachi," Why Sir?" she said giggling while Milind just looked at her with narrowed eyes," Ok sorry'.. No Sir and back to Milind. Is it alright?"
Milind," That's good! So now tell me have you brought your gift." he said looking at the counter where the pendants were kept
Prachi," Not yet Milind'' Both the pendants are so beautiful'. It's hard to decide which one to choose and which one to leave." she said again looking at the pendants.
There were two pendants which she had chosen for Kajal. One was a heart shaped pendant which opened into two and you could store a small picture of your beloved one in that and the other was also a heart shaped pendant which break into two halves, one to be kept by you and the other to be kept by your beloved one. Both of these were so beautiful that Prachi didn't want to leave anyone behind.
Milind," Its simple Prachi, if you like both of these, then buy both. One you can give to your sister while the other one you can keep for yourself." he said shrugging his shoulders.
Prachi," But'."
Milind," No but, just buy them. Your sister will surely love it." he said smiling.
Prachi," Ok as you say." she said smiling and handed both the pendants to the shopkeeper keeping in mind to give the pic. Pendant to Kajal while Milind went to the adjoining bookstore where books related to piano tunes were kept at a corner shelf. He was rummaging through the books when Prachi joined him after buying the pendants.
Prachi," You know how to play Piano?" she asked from back and Milind was startled. He turned back and smiled at her.
Milind," No ' No'' just seeing these books only." he said moving from there while Prachi frowned.
After that she turned around to look at some books for herself when something caught her attention. She went near it and giggled in joy clapping both her hands.
Milind," What happened Prachi?" he came when he heard the noise but Prachi didn't paid attention to his question rather she went to the shopkeeper and asked,
Prachi," Sir are those two posters for sale." she said pointing to the two posters that were hanged on the corner of the wall.
Shopkeeper," Yes Madam but no one buys it."
Prachi," I would love to buy it. Can you please pack it for me." she said in a pleasing tone
Shopkeeper," Sure Madam." and he went to take it out and pack it up for Prachi.
Milind," Prachi, will you exactly tell me what are you buying?"
Prachi," Those two pendants."
Milind," And what about those posters?"
Prachi," Posters too''. You don't know those two posters are of Shabbir Ahluwalia and Panchi Bora." she said happily.
Milind," And who are they?"
Prachi," They are television stars and Kajal is just crazy about them. They both used to come in a daily soap called Kayamath and since then Kaju is just mad behind these two people and see today I got two posters of them also. Kaju is just going to love it."
Milind," You both sisters are just''.. WEIRD." but Prachi didn't paid any attention to his comments. She was just too excited about the posters.
Milind," So if your shopping is over, can we walk back home."
Prachi," Did I stop you." and shaking his head both went out of the store.
Prachi," Milind what would you take to walk a little slow." she said trying to pace up with his long strides.
Milind," I am already walking so slow because of you, now I think I should just sit down." he said going towards the bench which was on one side of the road.
Prachi," Wait I am also coming." she too took a seat beside him.
Both of them were relaxing their legs while enjoying the chilly breeze of Shimla at night.
Prachi," So you didn't like Mallicka." she said while Milind turned and looked at her in surprise.
Milind," It's not like that. She is a nice girl but has ego and is a big chatter box. When we were in college, she had a big crush on me and didn't allowed any girl to even come near''. Rightly you can call her my bodyguard." he chuckled softly.
Prachi," Oh! Ho! Mr. Mishra, the famous persona among the girls in his college with a body guard also to protect him. That's why I was wondering why Mallicka was looking at me like that." she said in a teasing tone.
Milind," You are saying like as if you didn't had any boy going behind you." he said making out a small laugh.
Prachi," Oh Please! I can't tolerate these love sick guys roaming behind one girl for one week and then finding the next in the next week and like on. They are just attracted to the external features of girls but not their inner hearts." she said irratedly shaking her head.
Milind," Poor guy." he said in a sympathetic voice.
Prachi," What!?"
Milind," I mean the guy who will marry you and become your Life Partner''.. I am feeling pity on him." he said in a sad tone.
Prachi," Well! Don't be. I am not going to choose just anyone and spend my rest of the life with him'' He should be special." she said softly.
Milind," And what specialty should he have to persist?" he asked now looking at her directly.
Prachi," Nothing!"
Milind," Nothing!" he asked surprised.
Prachi," Yes Nothing''' He should just love me the way no one has loved anyone so far and I would happily claim my life for him." she said softly looking into his eyes, shrugging his shoulders and both of them were drowned into each other.
In the silence of the night, both could hear each other's heartbeat raising fast. They kept looking like that as if they had known each other for ages. So much was written in both their eyes but they couldn't read it because for that both need to understand and know the other one.
When it felt like eons finally Milind broke off by the ring of his cell phone and both averted their gaze from each other and looked apart.
Milind," Hello, whose there?"
Rohit," Bhai, where are you and Prachi Bhabhi. Bade Papa is looking for you both."
Milind," Oh! Yes we are just reaching home." and he clicked shut his phone.
He turned towards Prachi and saw that she was standing at a distance away from him. He got up from his seat and went near her.
Milind," Ahem'' Prachi, shall we go home?" he said and Prachi turned back to look at him, but both of them couldn't look into each other's eyes while Prachi nodded her head in agreement.
Both reached the home in silence, just walking by the side of each other. Rohit was waiting for both of them at the door and when he saw them coming, he ran out to the gates.
Rohit," Bhai where were you two? Bade Papa is waiting for you both for a long time."
Milind," Nothing, was just looking for the perfect gift." he said and smiled at Prachi but she didn't responded.
Rohit," Prachi Bhabhi, what did you buy?" he asked and she handed him the packets.
Rohit looked through it very excitedly, but frowned seeing the posters.
Rohit," Who are they?" he asked showing the posters.
Prachi," They are television stars''.. Milind could you courier these things tomorrow at my home address, I'll give you the address tomorrow and now please excuse me." she said and quietly went inside the house without once looking back.
Rohit," What happened Bhai'. Is she alright?" he asked concernedly looking at Milind, but he just shrugged at him. He himself didn't know why Prachi behaved so coldly, moments before she was happily talking to him but now she was acting as if she didn't want to be with him.
Finally calling it a day, all went to their rooms. Prachi kept twisting and turning on her bed. She didn't know why she was looking at Milind like that, with such intensity in her eyes. Whenever she looks at him, an inner string pulls her towards him and she easily gets lost in those deep, dark eyes which creates a whirlpool inside her. Why she didn't liked Mallicka? Why did she told him about her inner feelings that she wants in her Life Partner? Why had she easily forgiven him knowing very well that she would have killed the person who had made her drink alcohol and moreover why didn't she objected Rohit when he called her ' Bhabhi' indicating her as Milind's wife? Why? Why? Why? She asked herself but there was no answer to these questions.
Finally she putted a full stop to her thoughts, worrying so much about nothing she just kept her thoughts aside while sleep was now the most important thing as a new morning was waiting for her with lots of happening in store kept for her which may put a big impression in her life.
😊 So how was it.....Please do reply and Happy Eid
