Tanushree's House.
Within 10 minutes, Sambhav was at Tanushree's house. He didn't bother to ring the doorbell and threw the door open . Drenched in water, his heart in his mouth and anxiety written all over his face , the first thing he did as he burst into Tanushree's posh white living room was to rush over to Misha. Running past T , he pulled up a surprised Misha who was coolly drinking a cup of cappuccino that had made for her.
Sambhav ( holding her by her shoulders and taking a good look at her )- Are you okay? '.( checks her arms and neck)'.Did T do something to you?
Misha is taken aback and touched by Sam's anxiety for her. T just rolls her eyes and taps Sam from behind on his shoulder.
T ( calmly )- I didn't hurt her, Sam. Relax. I can exercise control when I have to'..( unless Majesty is hammering in my head )'.but I just wanted to ensure her safety. So, I called you here.
Misha looks at Sambhav's slowly cooling face with a touch of emotion as Sam gets back in control . He leaves Misha's shoulders and moves away a little. He shakes his head, releases a breath of relief and sits down on the settee. T goes in to get towels and Misha snaps back to reality. Sambhav rubs the bridge of his nose and looks up at Misha sharply ' not looking pleased, definitely.
Sambhav ( tired and upset )- Do you know how scared I got after T's call? Knowing that what T is and what she can do, you had the stupid nerves to land up at her house? '..what if T would have attacked you? She is a LOOSE CANNON, you little fool!
Misha ( not fighting )- I was no scared, Sam. After the closest that I have been to an ugly death, having seen you as a horrid animal, almost mauled by you, I don't think there is anything worse that I could fear'.(raises her hand)'no, am not trying to make you feel guilty. I know T is a dangerous vampire now but'..( bites her lower lip before talking again)'.but you were so sure that she could control her killing instincts. You have that confidence in her.
Sambhav looks at Misha's doe eyes and for once, she is not being offensive or aggressive. Sambhav's face softens as he sees that she is showing faith in his faith. Her eyes are not judging ' they are believing.
Sambhav ( looks at her face searchingly)- You came to T's house on my faith in her? '( gets a little edgy)'strange. Me and T are not much different. We both are animals.
Misha looks at Sambhav , stung. She remembers all that she has accused and blamed Sambhav for. How she screamed at him and T in the woods. Misha lowers her eyes.
Misha ( sitting down next to Sambhav )- I am not sorry about what I said, Sam. You know what you put me through. It's a Herculean effort on my part to be able to trust you. '.(locks and unlocks her fingers)'.i am human, Sam. And I don't have the kind of courage and accepting heart that Piya has.
Sam ( nods at her )- Hmmm. I don't blame you, Misha. I mean, I exposed you to the worst that supernatural can be 'blood, gore, evil'.(smiles)'it was easier for Piya because she fell in love with Abhay. Because Abhay is all the good that supernatural can gather. '(pause)..and we are not even friends. Just pretending for Abhay's sake.
Misha ( blinks her eyes at him)- Oh yes. We are not friends'.definitely not.
There is an awkward silence between the two of them which is broken by T's entry. A white towel on her arm and a tray of coffee and truffle cake in her hands. She smiles , confused at Sam and Misha, wondering what they have been talking about in her absence . She puts on a big smile and puts the tray on the table. She gives the towel to Sambhav with a grin.
T ( teasingly )- Dry yourself, Sam. You've already soaked my white velvet and pink feathers!
Sam ( laughs )- Who says you have given up being the rich bitch?
T just rolls her eyes and Misha gives a genuine smile to both of them. Awkwardness again between T and Misha as Sambhav dries himself.T gets down to making coffee and Misha , after hesitating a little, breaks the silence.
Misha ( looking at Sam and T )- Actually'.I am here for a reason. I wanted to say something'.to both of you.
Sambhav runs hand through his wavy black hair, directing his narrowed grey concentric circles at Misha curiously while T offers her a mug of coffee, looking at her , confused through her slanting whisky-shade eyes. Misha reads the questions in their eyes as she takes the coffee mug from T's lovely red-nailed fair hands.
Misha ( looking down)- Okay, I don't know how to put this across to you'I am not the emotional kind. I am not the sentimental kind '.i mean, I am just out of all the drama that human emotions catch'.but I just have to say this to both of you'(looks at T)'.especially to you.
Sambhav looks at her in shock while Tanushree, taken aback , gives her a confused look.
T ( shrugs her porcelain shoulders)- To me? Why are you saying that, Mish?
Misha ( not knowing how to put it )- I have been judgmental, Tanushree. I had the right to hate you, judge you, ridicule you when you were the hollow queen bitch of Mount college'..but'.looking at you now, I don't see anything of the T I knew. Yes, you are an evil vampire carrying some Bolshva blood or whatever. But i'.i didn't even once think what you must have gone through 'what it feels like to have your normal life snatched away from you '.to be thrust with a life of a monster'..( gets up and starts pacing around as though bursting with something )'..today , at Raichand mansion when I saw you all talking , learning how much hell Sambhav , Abhay and others have been through'.or how much danger awaits you all'.i felt that 'that'.i don't know'I felt strangely bad for you guys'.I mean, you all did not choose this life. I can't imagine what it is like to live sitting on a supernatural bomb'..am just'just sorry, I guess.
Sambhav is looking at Misha pensively and tears well up in T's eyes as Misha gives them a concerned cute smile.
Sambhav ( moved )- You'you didn't have to say all that, Misha. Its okay. You can still step out of this whirlpool. You don't have to be a part of this'.i don't want you to be a part of this storm.
T goes to Misha and looks at her , holding her by her shoulders.
T ( touched )- Sam is right, Misha. Save yourself the horrors. Walk out from our lives and live the normal life that you deserve. We don't want you to lose yourself in this abyss.
Misha ( blinks her eyes innocently at her and Sam)- I cannot. I can't leave Piya alone to face all the hocus-pocus crap. I can't leave Abhay to be consumed by Maithli. Abhay is my own 'I cannot define how or why. But he is somebody am attached to. He saved my life, he is Piya's life and I '.(throws up her hands)'.i can't walk out just like that.
Sambhav looks at Misha with a strange affection in his eyes and a smile brightens up his face. Misha , Misha, Misha. She never failed to confuse him and surprise him. How deeply Misha had been affected by Abhay'Piya's suffering and how the revelations of woes of a supernatural life had changed her opinion. And she had come all the way to T's house to apologize? Careful, Sam. He told himself ' Misha is '.umm'okay, some other time.
T ( gratefully)- I'.( feels choked of tears in the throat )'..I can only say 'thank you. And am'sorry'.sorry for all that I have done'..( and what I am going to do)'
Misha ( smiles sadly )- Don't say that now, T. I miss the bitch I knew and I loved fighting with. I miss the fashionista boy crazy political and plotting spoilt rich brat that you were T'..I know none of that is ever coming back. We have lost you'.( hesitantly)'I know we both were never friends. But I '.I think I miss you.
T( tears rolling down her cheeks)- I miss myself too'.(gives Misha a quick hug)'.forgive me'.
As soon as T's cheek touches Misha's neck, T feels the urge to bite her and she can feel her fangs straining to burst out. Shutting her eyes, she quickly releases Misha. Sambhav notices this and is relieved. He gets up and walks over to both of them.
Sambhav ' Misha, its 4am , already. I think you should go home now. Big task ahead, tomorrow. Zeenia, Abhay and Piya. Hmmm?...( gently taking her by her arm)'come on.
Misha nods and T walks them to the door. Sambhav stops.
Sambhav ' Misha, go down to your car and I will '( looks at T)'I will just come.
Misha sees the look exchange between T and Sam. She nods and walks away , not looking behind at all. Yes, she still feels bad when Sambhav goes all personal and mother hen with T. Sam watches Misha walk down the driveway and he turns to look at T. She lowers her eyes and Sam smiles at her. He puts his hand on her shoulder.
Sam ( kindly )- Look at me, Tanzie.
She lifts her eyes to his trusting grey eyes and she feels a lurch in her heart.
Sam ' I saw what happened when you hugged Misha. You had the urge to bite her'but you didn't. Thank you. For keeping my trust in you. See'( punches her cheek lightly)'.you can fight the Bolsh in you.
T feels her cheek turn a hot pink when Sam touches her.
T ( moving away from him)- Go home, Sambhav. Misha is waiting down there.
Sambhav turns to go and then, a small grin coming over his face turns back and hugs T , surprising her. She looks at him wide-eyed. Sambhav winks at her.
Sambhav ( grinning )- I like it when girls listen to me!
T ( grins back)- Misha never does!
Sambhav ( rolling his eyes)- That is why I find solace in you!.....Just kidding. Ciao!
And Sambhav goes off , calling out Misha's name. T watches him go, leaning at the door, putting her hands in the pockets of her shorts.
T ( thinking to herself)- You have no idea what I am going to do to you, Sam. I am going to break you down so hard that you will never rise again'..don't be so nice to me, don't look at me with those big trusting grey eyes'..( closing the door)'am ruining your life, Sam . And this is only the beginning''.
Daksh's Bedroom, Daksh's House.
Piercing the flowing off-white curtains of the huge glass windows , sunrays spilled into the kingly bedroom done up in classic Brit style ' in beautiful and aggressive shades of red and black. And in the middle of the room stood a four-poster bed done up in embroidered red velvet. Daksh , dressed in black pajamas and his chiseled torso bared to sunlight was standing at the foot of the bed with a coffee cup in his hands. He was looking at a sleeping Pancchi on his bed. Her honey brown skin in contrast to red quilts in silk that covered her bare body. Lying on her chest , her head resting on a red pillow, her glowing face was covered by her own black hair. Daksh walked up to her and smiled at a sleeping Pancchi as he ran his forefinger on her smooth skin ' slowly ' from her tail bone to her back and stopping at the back of her neck where the needle had been fixed into her bone ' the cool platinum glittering against her skin. Daksh gently moves her hair from her face and she is smiling in her sleep. Daksh sits next to her'.still feeling her skin.
Daksh ( with dark mischief )- Hmmm'.my sweet , delicate , innocent beautiful Pancchi. What a night'.
Daksh bringing Pancchi home last night as they both were still high on the passionate take-off that happened in the restaurant. Pancchi wanted to leave but it just took one round of passionate seduction from Daksh's side to make Pancchi kick out her already crumbling defences. Pancchi had melted into his arms and they both had ended up spending a carnal , passionate night together. And by the crack of dawn, Daksh had stamped every inch of Pancchi's body with his animalistic sexual force. Ah, well'it was not a part of Daksh's plan. It just happened.
Daksh ( whistles to himself )- Pity that you won't remember a thing about what happened between you and me last night. Too hot a memory to be erased'.( plays with her hair)'but I can't let you remember either.
Just then, there is a knock on the door.
Daksh ( resting his head on a pillow )- Come in, Gargi.
The door opens and a stout fair red-cheeked woman in her fifties enters holding a black silk gown in a hanger.She looks at the scene with disdain as Daksh coolly gets off the bed and comes to her. Gargi looks at Pancchi and then, at Daksh.
Gargi ( helping him wear the gown )- Was that necessary?
Daksh ( tying the robe at his waist )- What?
Gargi ( pointing to Pancchi )- That. That girl. I don't think your plan included sleeping with her. Its not right.
Daksh ( faces her )- Not right? She had been wanting me by our third meeting. She looked stunning last night. I am a man. What did you expect? Moral science lessons?....(drinking his coffee)'.besides, when you have to control someone and that too a fiery young beautiful woman , sexual authority helps. Helps in fogging the senses.
Gargi ( taken aback)- Are you trying to tell me that you intend to do 'THIS' again to her?
Daksh ( thinks )- I have tasted her and I like the feel of her. She might be my new drug. '.( gets serious )'.but I know what I have controlled her for. Don't worry. Our work won't get affected. Pancchi won't remember what I did to her. Chill.
Gargi ( irritated)- We are slayers, Sir. Not villains. What will your family think when they arrive here next week?
Daksh ( tosses his head )- I don't understand what villainy we are talking about. Me and Pancchi consummated the passion that SHE felt for me. Big deal. And my folks worry about the 'work' that we do'..not 'who I do'. And you are my slave, Gargi. Don't teach me!
Gargi shakes her head in disappointment. Daksh goes back to Pancchi and bending over her , caresses her cheek and kisses her on her lips.
Daksh ( devilishly)- There is something about you, Pancchi. And I love ravaging innocence'..( looks at Gargi)'.dress her back in her clothes , Gargi. She will be up in an hour or so. When she wakes up, tell her that she had fainted in my living room. I'll handle the rest'.and careful. Her body is delicate and your hands harsh'..i don't want any bruises on her'( shamelessly )'.i didn't leave any tell tale marks on her body.
Gargi ( with clenched teeth)- Yes Sir.
