Chapter IX
Blatantly, Nihaal zooms in the highway exceeding to a large extent the limit allowed. His cell phone keeps vibrating continuously but his absent-mindedness obstructs him to respond to it. Zigzagging in the endlessness road,he assays to ease his wild emotions,diverge his mind and burry his lenient soul. But each time, all his efforts keeps him betraying. His chest is still inflammating by this same noxious and ineffable pain instead of solacing his wretchedness. The cold breeze brushes against his face refreshing his body from the distraughted sentiments but still not extinguishing the burning flame which is constantly raging inside him. In fact, it only blazes it even more. He speeds up his gear and whooshes into the grey and cloudy sky .Suddenly he changes the line to the adjacent road, incapable to endure this uncomfortable sensation..

Conversely, Prena irately gets out of her car and reaches to her house's entrance. At her surprise, the entire mansion is overblown by an extravagant makeover. Gradually Prena's angriness fades away and gets occupied by pure confusedness. She sees her gardener and demands:
-prena: what's going on?
-gardener ecstatically: So here you are princess..
-prena utterly puzzled, looking at the buzzing place: I mean why in earth these people are covering my house with all those lightings in every possible dimensions?
-gardener: Arey Prena ask ur dad,he's soo excited a...instea
Before the elderly man could complete his statement, Anurag sparkling with happiness comes twirling his princess around.
-prerna releasing slowly from her dad:dad yeh..yeh sab kya hai?
-anurag laughing out loud:PARTY princess!PARTY'we are all gonna swing and enjoy and...
-prena puzzle: hold on dad,party?kyun?kis khushi mein? Kis keliye?..
-anurag smiling: Prerna to celebrate the happiness of the entire galaxy that God has gifted me!OR KYAA!
-prerna, who couldn't stay much longer indifferent by her dad's contentment smiles a bit: but...did u look at the sky, it feels like lightings gonna strike at any moment. And its so chilly and windy .Dad aab kyun yeh sab...
-anurag breathing out nosily in purpose, in a sudden sober tone: yesterday my small princess gave me the most priceless gift ever. 'Prerna you have agreed Laksh's proposal, you gave an entire other meaning to our two families, binding us with a beautiful bounding...You always knew how to make your dad proud but last night u made my chest puffed-up with pride even more. That's why tonight we will have the rockiest party in the town! And no no no I'm not exaggerating at all, I'm throwing the most lavish party people had ever witness !Tonight the black velvet sky will shine and the stars will twinkle celebrating the most beautiful upcoming wedding!
Leisurely, realising what was all this about, Prena's smile vanishes all it's shine...

Eventually after continuing 15 minutes into the new direction that he took in the highway, he finally stops and parks his bike in front of a small structure .Taking away his key, he heads up to the building and enters to a vacant gymnasium. Nihaal scrutinises the place and searches for a punching bag. Slowly at first but later on, totally berserk and taken away by abhorrence, he deliriously punches for hours the inert bag without even taking a few breaks to catch up his breathes. He visualizes his bag to Anurag's face and his blood fires up bowling in rage even more. The time passes by, leaving alone the boy taken by complete viciousness.

-...Wait a sec prena,I have to answer to this call.
:.Conversation in the cell:.
-------
Hi,what's wrong?..what!...really !well that's great! Like I said there's no smoke without fire. Indeed I couldn't wait for this day. I'm overwhelmed that the judge understood my point of view and he took it in consideration...haaan ..haaaan.Well u know, at first I never intended of doing so, but after the other day's deliberate action, I couldn't stay arm folded...
-------
Prena uninterested leaves her dad and enters to the doorstep. While coming in, she stumbles by a heavy box probably containing some decorations. She awkwardly fells down and urges to hold her twisted foot.
Inside the house, all of the maids hasten everywhere to settle everything perfectly. Nothing has to be half done! A very clear instruction or treat given by the perfectionist lawyer.
****
Nihaal exhausted and out of breath, at last stops boxing. He clutches the punching bag and starts taking deep breathes. It's then he receives another call and he finally responds to it.
-Nihaal out of breath: ...yeah...helloh...
Nihaal stomach twists upside down. In the end of the call all u could perceive is his beloved mother's screams. Nihaal instantly drops his cell and without loosing any seconds, dispatches crazily in the rainy hours of obscurity.

Eventually Prena limps till her room. As soon as she unlocks her tranquil paradise, a sweet fresh scent of lilacs mix with the aroma of rain roves down the white room. The white satin curtains were peacefully waving thanks to the enchanting wind coming thru the wide window .The white satin fabrics still adhere the darkness submerge and hum her paradise. Only a dim ray of moonlight impends from outside and a few candles prevails the room from complete darkness .The freezing wind hazily caresses her face and her cheekbones making her quiver. However, Prena still decides to take a cold bath. When she arrives back from the shower, the clock strikes 11 and half. Outside the clouds were disturbingly forging, which makes her induce to close the humongous balcony's window. Out of the blue, Dhara comes and hugs her from the back.
-dhara: ouuuuuu u'r so cold snow white, but u doo smell heavenly!
-prena smiling: yaar tum kab aye?
-dhara: just now...PRENA,u have to get ready.U don't want everyone looking for u right!........btw bhaya didn't catch u at coll?cuz he seemed soo excited in the morning but when I came at home he was all sulky..
-prena feeling guilty:ohh actually ummm I was awfully behaved with him...
-dhara:..ohh well... u guyz will sort out ur stuff at the party. He'll be here in a couple of minutes...Now u have to get READY dear!ummmm what about a saree for a change!.....And why in earth ur room is so dark,I cant even see u!
Dhara manages to open the colossal glass closest and commences throwing everything that came thru her way. Dhara's eyes were twinkling like a little kid as she digs up a couple of remarkable sarees.
-prena shaking her head. I never even wore one in my entire life
-dhara : SHUT UP PRERNA!!!.ummmm what about this one,or this..or perhaps this!!!!!!Gosh all of those are gorgeous.Prena hold me I'm fainting!
Prena smiles, seeing her cute behaviour. She approaches to her closet and brought out a simple yet elegant deep red saree with a few shimmer and embroidery.
****
Nihaal arrives to his house and doesn't even take the time parking his bike properly. At his surprise there were a few police vehicles leaving from his entrance. Nihaal's lungs probes as if they were gonna burst at any moment. Numb all he could concentrate at, is the lamenting cries of his mother in his mind. Shaking like never before, he opens the main door.
****
-dhara:omg this is sooo lavishing, but u should opt for something more fancy and extravagant for this occasion.
-prena:I don't feel like it dhara, the last thing I wanna do is party!But u know dad
-dhara:it's ok lazy bum. Go change while I choose the ornaments, oh yeaaa I forgot to tell u that a lady is coming to apply the mendhi in our hands.
-prena rolling her eyes: urggg why everything in my house should alwayz be overblown !!
-dhara laughing:go change ur cloths Prena!and did I tell u that he even hired some musicians?
-prena miserable: everyone is crazy,my dad is insane and soo are these nonsense people singing for this meaningless event!
Prena puts the sari, with the precious help of her friend. Later on she sits down in front of the dressing table and brushes her dark silky hair. The kajal in her deep hazel eyes and the light pink blush in her already pinkish cream skin makes her look even more dazzling and gorgeous than usual. The tender sangria red sari curves her soft body and enhances her red strands even more.
-dhara amazed : prena u look astonishingly gorgeous ... I don't know there is something new about u.It's like ur glowing!!!! im dead ,I genuinely hope ur dad didn't invite other guy cuz they'll be all dumbstruck and kill my bro to get u..my ggoshh those eyes!
-prena blushing:stop it yaar.
Prena smiles but soon she caughts herself again by the same sore sensation on her throat. Sitting on the bench in front of her dressing table, her mind somehow reaches Nihaal's face. How hard as she tried but his thoughts still finds away to be printed in her soul.
Yet , Prena doesn't even glares even once to the beautiful mirror in front of her. But little by little she does turn herself, facing the dressing table. Unquestionably she did look amazing tonight. For a long time, Prena keeps staring at herself, not because she's by some means of arrogance but for the reason that she's confused. Thoughts reminiscent of what was she doing here? Why did she agree to marry Laksh at the first place?And mainly why was she acting happy and joyful while something in her was agonizingly ragging ?constantly confound in her mind. Steadily the draught of confusedness and uncertainty sweeps her away. In the complete sinister mist; Prena roams in this infinite path, all alone when someone grasps her. Alas, it wasn't her charming prince that every princess would dream off but her dark knight rescuing her for her interior demons. Yet again Nihaal's face reappears in the mirror. At first the cute smiley Nihaal, with whom she unknowingly felt so secure but in a momentary look, the image drastically alters to the resentful Nihaal who pushed her dad and thrashed her in front of the locker. Prena suddenly scornful and disdained angrily walks off from the table.
-Dhara: hey what's wrong?
Prena stares at her friend and feels disgusted and ashamed by herself, what would she tell to her best friend, that she was thinking of Nihaal, when soon or later she'd wed her brother. How could she even dare reflect about someone who brought already so much pain to her family?
-prena under her breath: nothing dhara baas yuhinn..

As he draw closer inside to his house, Nihaal's mom runs and hugs her only son. Nihaal becomes even more miserable after looking to the person that he loved the most, tormenting like this. Powerless, all he could try to do is slowly lift his mom's face and beg her to speak.
-Nihaal wretchedly: maaaaa a..a ..appp plz...im begging u maat roye...Plz tell me once what happened and i..i'll promise I'll fix everything up.
Diviana incapable of pronouncing a single word just glares hopelessly at his dearly loved son and keeps sobbing even more.
-Nihaal panicking:DADDDD...daaad.where are u?
A young man, who all these time, like everyone else in the house was standing in a corner, gradually approaches near his master.
-men looking at the floor:Mr nihaal...the..
-nihaal desperately: Arjun yeh sab kya hai ? why is she crying and...and where's dad?
-arjun still looking at the ground:i'm profoundly desolated mr Nihaal, but out of the blue, some cops came to the mansion and arrested your dad, in the evening.
-nihaal confused :kkk...yaaaa?
Nihaal fuming in anger throws the crystal vase in front of him. He walks off to Arjun and hold's him tightly.
-nihaal ranting: U incompetent craps. Why in earth we pay u, if u cant even defend my dad. I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING 'EV.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G U UNDERSTOOD!
-man shaking and contrite: Sir since the evening the cops keeps coming and leaving our haveli. They accused our master of smuggling. They even alleged him of threatening Mr Anurag Bassu and interfering into his profession by ambushing him by fake confessions.... Our master tried to talk but they rudely intercepted him and acknowledged that Mr. Anurag deposited a complaint against him. That's why the cops received the order from the other police to put him behind the bars.
-nihaal in the verge of killing someone: u take my mom in her room and VIJAYYYYYY GO BRING OUT MY CAR RIGHT NOWW
-vijay: sir plz wait it will take a few minutes to gather all our crew
-nihaal calmly:I don't need anyone's help ,to assassinate one meaningless person.
-vijay:...magar whatever u do plz wait till dawn, tonight's weather is very very bad

Prena chooses a couple of simple chouries and long round shape diamond earnings. At the same moment the lady from the parlour enters to the room.
-Lady blissfully :Prenaaaaaaaa! u look phenomenal sweetheart.
-Prerna still anxious:thanks aunty
-Dhara:sooo should we start the mehendies?
The lady decorates Prena's hands magnificently. Both of her hands are filled of beautiful designs leading to her fingers to her hands.
Suddenly Dhara starts laughing.
-lady:kya huwa ?
-dhara still laughing:noo nothing,it reminded me of Prena's 8th b day.Prena , Laksh bhaya and i use to do soo many crazy stuffs but we alwayz use to get unnoticed thanks to her balcony.Im telling u this entrance was alwayz a life saver
-lady:ummm her 8th birthday right.I wouldn't laugh if I were u. Few years back when ur mom came to the salon. She told me what u kids did back then. Eloping to go in a rickshaw ride is the most idiotic thing to do.
-dhara:don't look at me,it was Prena's stubbornness which leaded us to all that trouble. But gosh it was funny we thought that none one would notice since we were coming from the backyard's stairs to her balcony.
After a couple of minutes.
-lady: ouff my eyes are hurting me,I cant hardly see in this dark room
-dhara:same here,and im bored now.u know what lets move down downstairs, u do my hand and in the meantime, we enjoy listening to the music playing.
-lady:great..prena aren't u coming
-prena:u galls go and I'll join later on
