Chapter-6
This is simply preposterous! What is all this happening ? Chandreyee shouted as the vehicle stopped abruptly on the highway towards Kolkata. The pitch road was in between the green fields on one side & dusty ground on another side which had 2-3 trees at a distance under which some temporary shades were there made of hay and bamboo.
.Aabeer who was driving went out of the car to check if anything was wrong.
Ohh Gawd.! Why am I always the victim? Now who will tackle this Ms. Timetable? Feel like screaming to her - all coz of your "Love" he wants some photographs of the local clothing. And this Roody always make others the scapegoats, knows very well that volcano will erupt if he say s the real reason to Miss Timetable.
"Errrr '.!! Riya ' we need water right now or else the car wont move a bit." Aabeer said disappointed.
Whaaat?? ' Chandreyee removed her pair of sunglasses abruptly ' "what the heck '"
"Do something love I cant stand these sunrays ."
Chill Riya' Abi will do something right now . RIGHT ABI?
"You Bloody weirdo just wait for my turn , then I will show you whats right & whats wrong" ' Aabeer was cursing Roody under his breadth.
"Hellow handsome curse me later first go and find water" ' Roody shouted to Aabeer as if he heard his mind
"Riya you all wait in the jeep let me go and help Abi "saying this Roody took the camera.
"But why are you taking your camera with you ? "
"Nothing Riya '. Abi will take some time to mend all these, so thought to take some shots from nearby .You three be in the jeep"
He slowly strided towards Aabeer who was hiding his face behind the bonnet.
"Just let me go back to Kolkata then I will show you '' Roody"
He peacefully leaned on this back to the side of the jeep lifted up the sunglasses & was adjusting the camera lens. "first you think what to say to Riya." He said with a sly smile .
"I just cant get one thing roody ? you are my biggest competetor in IFD . Riya is YOUR fiance"
Sorry?- Roody reacted
Okay okay . Girlfriend..? .
That's better Abi! He murmured.
"Yeah she is your girlfriend . YOU should be dealing with her . YOU should be answering her . Why am I?" Aabeer stated irritated
"Coz u are my darling sweet heart .. Abi loves me more than anyone else".
Ohh yeah? Really ? then I must pour this news in the ears of MISS. SAMAR ! He will be glad to know that Roody has started calling me by this epithet and also blow up kisses to me other than Riya . ' Aabeer beamed .
Suddenly Roody's face became pale & the camera was about to fall .
"Et tu, Brute?"'. Roody was shocked .
yeah yeah !! My darling Roody .. I don't mind being tagged as Brutus for loving my love . Aabeer grinned .
"love'.. Its too much hot here I am going under the shade of that hut! Riya screamed"
"okay Riya ' I will call you when its over '" Roody replied .
"Hey Riya .. I will also come with you . its very tacky sitting in all open jeep, . doll are you coming ?" Konishko casually asked Shreya . but she avoided going with him remembering yesterday's incident .
"No I have no problem with sunrays Koke you catch up with her"
Konishko accompanied Chandreyee towards the shade . after sometime getting bored Shreya went to chat with Aabeer & Roody.
"Hey Cudly what are you doing here sweetheart ? go under the shade and sit there"-roody said nonchalently while working with the camera.
Shreya looked at Riya & Konishko under the shade bit thoughtfully and said softly-"no I am comforatable here"
Sensing her reason Roody looked at her . To get over with the uneasiness Shreya just clinged to Roody & kept her head on his shoulder. The effect was quite fast as expected.
"I know Cudly , don't worry, I understand" Roody consoled with a smile .
Aabeer who was silent spectator to this whole occasion felt a slight peace in his heart. He chose to go in search of water with a can as he said to Chandreyee .
"Hey Aabeer wait I will also go with you ."
"No cudly !I cant handle 2 weights at a time. So please spare me "!Saying this he marched forward with the empty can .
Shreya with gritted teeth murmured some abuses & threw a piece of stone towards Aabeer but it lost its tip.
Coming back to Roody she spurted out in anger '" did you see that Roody? He didn't take me with him!"
Roody was busy taking photographs of the locales and the local people who were traveling in distance doing their daily chores.
After calling him innumerable times when she didn't get any reply, she understood he is totally engrossed in his passion. She came silently and stood beside him.
"Roody I don't understand one thing !"
"Are you sure Cudly its only one?" Still clicking shots .
"Shut up you moron !. You have a readymade gorgeous model, your fiancee with you already, why do you need the snapshot of these locals for the project?"
Suddenly seeing Roody's grave looks she corrected her sentence , "ok girlfriend !"
"So tell me Roody !"
"When I need that model I will surely ask for her but right now I need these . does this satisfy you Cudly?"
"Yeah yeah for the time being ."- she giggled
Shreya speculated it right, due to her brainless chatter Roody was bit annoyed .but now nothing she could do except standing like a statue .but she didn't have to wait long . Supposedly God has given her the chance to mend her mistake .
Roody '! See cone ice-cream
No Cuddly you are not having it !
Pleasseeee !!
No sweetheart its unhygienic!
All of a sudden shreya snatched his camera
Okay okaay fine ..! come I will get you one !
*********
"I don't understand why is Roody so much scared of Riya . now where shall I roam for water? Godd where have you pushed me!" Aabeer was loitering aimlessly, if he can find some water or else he has to answer "why", "when", "where" queries of Chandreyee. After traveling for quite sometime he saw something for which he couldn't help thanking God .
At the end of the bushes, pitched road was visible .
Bibs was trying to change the tyre of the car with full concentration on her work .
"Excuse me Ma'am."- Aabeer spoke out in concern .
As her concentration was broke, Bibs looked back startled. Beautiful face was smudged with black patches of grease or dust on the cheeks.
"No-no please this time I cant give u lift till Kolkata ' spare me for God sake!" She said irately as she was still unsuccessful in replacing the punctured tyre.
"No ma'am I don't wanna lift . just that I was wondered if you need any help ."
"No I don't . now please leave me alone."
"But ma'am you alone cant change the tyre" . He urged.
"Whats your problem Mister ? When I said once I don't need any help why are you so eager for so-called help?"
Aabeer didn't say a word just marched forward took the tool from her hand & went towards the tyre .
**************
Roody was busy taking snaps as usual. And Shreya was relishing her three ice- creams rather colorful ice-cones .
"ok .. Roody now tell me one thing .!".
"hmm"-. he was busy taking snaps .
"why do you hate calling her your fiance .?"
He looked up to Shreya & said ' "and why do you end up supporting her always against me?"
"The reason you know Roody , don't you?"
"If that is the reason I think your loyalty should be much more towards me Cudly ".
"Okay ! I give up" . and her face clearly reflected her sadness over the lose in debate.
"Cudly ' try to understand . Ronen uncle has not given green signal yet"
"Is that the sole reason ?"she asked casually with full concentration on the colorful cones .
He was silent and looked blankly at her .
"You know what cudly ' sometimes your talks go over my head" .
"That's because you don't want to listen to your heart"
"Do you listen ?" ' Shreya suddenly looked up to him with a visibly curious face .
"Do I have any choice Roody ?" ' seeing the discussion taking a serious turn she said
"But you know what darling? ' You are a sweetheart for me" and went forward to kiss his cheek
He just took out his handkerchief ' "wait!" & he wiped her lips & its corners.as it was wet and sticky. Seeing that she moved a bit upwards indicating to wipe the chin also .He just smiled seeing her antics and cleaned it .- "now proceed"
She just clutched his chin tightly from sides and planted a sound kiss .
"Ohh god cudly not this way pleaseeeee.". He was wiping his cheek with disgust.
"What are you wiping away? You moron ' I don't use lipstick." Saying this she ran away towards the car.
*********
Konishko was viewing all these from a distance where he was resting with Chandreyee under the shade . Shockingly said "Riya did you see that?"
Chandreyee was unaffected by the sudden outburst and was busy fanning herself with the handkerchief.
"DID-Y-O-U SEE THAT RIYAA!" he asked pushing her vigorously
"YES I DID FATTY !" she answered with clenched teeth
" Still you are here? And will not question them for their behavior ?"
"Really Fatty Abi is right ' you are really a naradmuni ." and she turned around
"But Riya they kissed each other wont you question them?"
"Correction Fatty ! Roody didn't kiss her .it was other way round. And if you are so concerned about it why don't you go and ask ?"
"Yes I will '. I surely will 'saying this he marched towards them ' but stopped suddenly and turned with a sad face-"But if I ask then roody will'."
"Yes before asking anything about your Miss fatty to Roody I think you should get your's bones's policy done' or else .. '" she went away in laughter .
***************
"Yes ma'am its done. Now your car is ready. hope you reach safely to your destination ."
Aabeer said this in one go to Bibs, and was on his way .
"Mr. Aabeer'!" She called him from back '
"Yes '. "He turned
Sorry !!
"What? What did u say?
I-I'.I am sorry ..! and thanks for the help ..
Its my absolute pleasure beautiful !'. errrr'.-" you are welcome M-A-A-M .."
"Ohh yeah '. My name is '.Bib'"
*******
"Cudly just now you had ice creams and now chocolates? Give your mouth some rest sweetheart. Are you competing with Koke?"
"Shut up and do your work Roody' "
********
"Nice to meet you BIBS' I feel more comfortable in calling you Bibs rather than the longer version"
"But Aabeer is far better than Abi for me."
"So you stay in Kolkata ? Bibs ?"
She knew that Aabeer will shoot up random questions now which she didn't want to answer .
" Yes.Thank you Aabeer ' I shall leave now or else I cant reach Kolkata on time ." saying this she drove away .
He just couldn't do anything other than standing still & cursing God for the twist of fate within a minute . He just could manage to know the name.
******
Shreya was eating chocolates with concentration suddenly it was snatched away , before she could register what is happening she saw her precious possessions were with Aabeer who was giggling looking at her standing behind Roody .
"Roody I will kill him ' tell him to give back my chocolates"-she screamed
Roody was busy in his work. Being interrupted '"errrr '. Abi '.. give it back to her "
"What? ' have you seen her.. turning to the vital stat of 100-100-100"
Hearing this taunt she rushed towards Aabeer to beat him but stumbled on something and fell straight on a crater rolling down the leaves .
Hearing some hustle bustle nearby they both looked up to the direction from where is was coming only to see.
Shreya sitting with a big pout holding her leg , tears flowing down the cheeks. Viewing this both of them started laughing but seeing her teary face Aabber ran to her to make sure she was ok or not?
"Cudly are you okay sweety ?" Aabeer asked holding her ankle
She threw away his hand crying loudly .
"Uh ..oh ..ok 'let me pick u up .!"
" Don't touch me" she snarled .
"Roody he broke my leg" she said sobbing ..
"I will break his ' don't worry sweety , now let him pick you up . I will put some ointment okay?"
"But if he throws me away?"
"Then I will throw him away .".
"Okay '." She beamed in teary. stretching out her arms .
".ohh gawd Cudly Didn't I warn you don't eat so much of chocolates? Now see the condition I cant pull you up ."
she said nothing but gave a complaining look to Roody .
"Enough Abi"
"shut up Roody ! didn't I tell you don't indulge her eating habits and you are the culprit . its you who pamper her all the time"
saying this Aabeer gained a light slap from shreya.
Very good sweetheart! . Roody giggled in her action
***********
Chandreyee and Konishko were going back to the car seeing Roody and Aabeer approaching .
"Hey what happened to doll? Why is Abi carrying doll? & why is Roody carrying her sandals? And wait - wait so many chocolates Roody? Does he eat chocolates?
"ohh shut up naradmuni !"
Konishko ran towards the car to enquire about the recent happenings. Chandreyee followed him .
"love are we ready to go now?" she asked in a tired voice , disgusted by Konishko's comments and the heat .
"what happened to her?- Chandreyee snapped out in concern
"Ohh she fell down and twisted off her leg ."-Aabeer answered without looking at Chandreyee
"Now Koke if I hear any of your fifth I will throw you away from the running jeep I swear ."
Aabeer & Roody had an idea what Konishko would have discussed about . so they chose to keep quiet with giggles
"Okay ' Riya you sit with me in front let Abi be with Cudly ."-he knew Shreya will be uncomfortable sitting with Chandreyee listening to her continuous taunts about her twisted leg.
********
After traveling a few miles Aabeer saw Bibs's red car running in high speed and crossed their jeep , he was about to announce that he was the one to help the beautiful owner of the car , who was really a damsel in distress then . But before that Chandreyee spoke in excitement.
"Hey love. This is the latest model of sports car, quite expensive. I have asked dad for it.
Its looks great isn't it ? Smart & sleek !"
Roody just gave a quick look and resumed driving .
wow'. Someone giving competetion to Miss Timetable ? that too in luxury and style? God I wish she could have been in IFD , then I would have viewed a real drama all the day . but .' this is something Utopian . Gawdd if you can pleasee '
