The rays of the sun washed her face as she tried to open her eyes from deep slumber. She felt suffocated as she felt something heavy on her. She opened her eyes a little wider to see that chandu was literally sleeping over her. Prem was nowhere in sight. She lay still for a while since she dint want to disturb his sleep. He looked so cute when he slept.
He had wrapped his arms round her waist, crossed his leg over both her legs and rested his chin on her shoulder, his warm breath fanning her neck. His unshaved cheek gave her goosebumps as his sharp beard pricked her delicate, soft skin. Niru smiled looking at him. She carefully got up so that his sleep was not disturbed. Today being a Saturday, she wanted him to take rest. she crept to the bathroom with her clothes and freshened up. When she came back, chandu was still fast asleep.
She went down to the kitchen and saw that prem was already having breakfast, and shilpa was feeding him.
"prem, jaldi uth gaye? Abhi toh sirf saath baje hain"
"haan Niru" shilpa spoke since his mouth was full. "isse mere ghar chalne ki itni excitement ho rahi thi, ke yeh subah ke chaar baje mere kamre mein aakar kehta hai 'hum aapke ghar kitne baje jaa rahein hain' Tab iski needh bhi poori nahi hui thi... Phir yeh mere paas hi so gaya."
Niru smiled at him while he was busy watching Tom n Jerry on tv. She was about to go to the kitchen when shilpa called her.
"Niru, chandu nahi utha?"
"nahi, aaj Saturday hai toh maine socha ke unhe thodi dair sone dein" at which shilpa only smiled and began to feed prem. Niru finished off her breakfast, while chandu just came down from his room, still sleepy. Shilpa and Niru were in the kitchen. Chandu came near the sofa where prem was seated and saw that he was engrossed in drawing something. He lied down on the sofa and placed his head on prem's lap and prem began to giggle and play with his hair and face.
"yeh dekh kar kaun kahega ke prem chandu ka apna beta nahi hai?" shilpa said with teary eyes as she watched them play with each other.
"nahi maasi, prem hai hi itna pyara. Aaj ke baad aisa kabhi mat boliye. Prem chandu ka aur mera beta hai... woh humara baccha hai" Niru spoke to her, while watching the two. Shilpa only prayed silently to protect them from evil eyes.
Later in the evening, prem was all excited to go with shilpa to her house.
"uff prem, ek jagah khade ho jaao aur mujhe tumhare baal banane do" Niru spoke to him, but all in vain... he jus kept jumping on the bed...
"prem, yeh kya kar rahe ho?" growled chandu, since he had warned prem many times not to jump on the bed...
Prem looked at chandu and immediately got off the bed and sat calmly. Chandu and Niru couldn't help smiling at the cute tactics. Niru then got him ready when Shilpa came to the room to take prem. After getting ready, prem went with shilpa to her place... and chandu and Niru were left alone in the house.
Niru picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom. "main tayyar hokar aati hoon. Anurag aur taani ke function ke liye late nahi..."
she was just speaking when chandu pulled her and hugged her. She was initially taken by surprise, but gradually she felt good. She slowly dropped the clothes which were in her hands and hugged him back. She shut her eyes and bit his ear in pleasure as she felt his hand going up and down her back. Nuzzling in her neck, Chandu slid the dupatta off her shoulder and began to unzip her top. He slid the sleeve off her shoulder, while she took off his shirt.
He moved her hair to the other shoulder and kissed her in the nape of her neck. She felt over the moon when his warm lips touched her neck. He cupped her face and brushed his lips on hers and... the phone rang. Chandu, annoyed, picked up the phone and saw anurag's name flashing on the screen, while a blushing Niru picked up the fallen clothes and ran to the bathroom to get ready.
"chandu... tu aa raha hai na"
"haan" chandu replied in an annoyed tone.
"kya hua tu itne gusse mein kyun hai? Niru ke saath koi jhagda hua?"
"nahi anurag, main aur Niru thik hain, tere party mein time pe pahunch jayenge, ab tu meherbani karke phone rakh... main niru ke saath thoda busy hoon..."
Anurag giggled.. "thik hai thik hai... enjoy kar, lekin jaldi aa"
Soon both of them got ready. Chandu looked hot in a formal black suit, with a white shirt and a red tie, while Niru looked stunning in the netted red saree that chandu had got for her from delhi...
they reached the party on time; they saw the interiors of the house, which were lovely and congratulated anurag and taani and became busy in talking. The ladies were discussing on jewellery, make up, latest gossips... and the men were busy talking about social issues, work place and also "GUY" talk.
While anurag and taani was busy attending tgrinned at her.heir other guests, chandu was busy talking to most of his friends, and Niru was left alone and was standing in the corner.
"hi nirupama" a guy extended his hands towards Niru. He was quite tall and young, and looked smart.
"jee aap? Umm maine aapko pehchana nahi.."
"Aap mujhe nahin jaanti, lekin main aapko jaanta hoon... mera naam Vicky hai, main chandu ka dost hoon. Usne shadi kar lee, aur hume toh bataya bhi nahi. Toh finally aapse mulaqat ho gayi" he grinned at her.
Niru smiled and shook hands with him. "aapse milkar accha laga..."
"aapne yahan ka store room dekha? Itna bada store room toh maine kabhi nahi dekha.." Niru noticed him looking at her at odd places, but she thought she was just imagining.
"lekin, mujhe toh thik laga, i mean, achha hai, lekin itna bada bhi nahi..."
"aap shayad uparwale store room ki baat kar rahein hain, neeche wala store room aapne nahi dekha hoga"
"ummm jee nahin... mujhe nahin pata tha ke neeche bhi store room hai"
"accha? Toh chaliye, main aapko wahan leke jaata hoon..."
Niru looked at chandu, but he was busy laughing and talking to anurag and the other friends. She hoped that chandu would look ather once, so that she could tell him that she was going inside. But he did not.
"jee chaliye"
Vicky ad Niru went downstairs. It was quite dark, but thanks to the dim lights, one could see the furniture. They entered the store room.
"itna bada bhi nahi hai vickyji... aap toh..." she turned and was shocked when saw him locking the door and throwing away the key, which fell somewhere in between all the furniture..
"yeh aap kya kar rahein hain? Jaane dijiye hume" she said sternly
"chupp. Tumhe kya laga? Main tumhe yahan store room dikhane ke liye laya hoon. I mean, look at you. Chandu tumhe deserve nahin karta. Woh shadi shuda tha aur uska beta bhi hai, phir bhi tumne ussey shadi ki? Look at me. Mere paas chandu se bhi zyada paise hain, aur i am single."
He began to walk towards Niru, unbuttoning his clothes and Niru started screaming loudly, calling out chandu's name for help.
"chillao, lekin koi tumhe nahi sunega. Bahar music chal rahi hai, aur sab apni apni duniya mein mast hai. Aao Niru, hum bhi apni duniya mein kho jaayein..." he said with a lustful look on his face... Niru was all in tears. She pleaded him to go, but he held her by her hair and threw her on a couch. She tried getting up, but he pinned her down and sat on her... she hated his touch. She was still screaming but no one came to her rescue.
"arrey baby, kyun chilla rahi ho? Zyada dard nahi hoga, i promise you'll love it... Khud ko dekho, kitni hot lag rahi ho iss saree mein. Saree ke bina toh tum aur bhi hot lagogi... " and laughed at her. He slapped her face badly, that her mouth began to bleed. He threw the saree off her shoulders and touched her at places where she would not allow any man, apart from her husband, to touch her.
He brushed his hands on her chest and stomach, he enjoyed watching her wriggle in pain and disgust. He got off her and pulled her close to him. She was still screaming. He pushed her to the wall and pulled off her saree completey and threw it down to the floor. He ran his fingers on her bosoms and increased his grip there. He brushed his lips on her face, inspite of all the protest Niru was doing. She bit his hand and was about to run, when he held her hand and tore off the sleeve of her blouse. She knew that there was no escape now. He caught her hand and pinned her to the wall and went close to her. Niru was on the verge of fainting in fear.
The door flung open and a bewildered chandu stood at the entrance. He saw Niru. Her clothes were torn and she was bleeding. Chandu walked upto Vicky and punched him in the face and kicked him hard. Chandu picked Niru in his arms, she was still crying. He did not say anything. He just wrapped his coat round her and was leaving. Meanwhile taani came running there.
"chandu kahan ja rahe ho? Aur Niru ko kya hua? Yeh thik toh hai na?"
"kuch nahi taani. Anurag se kehna ke main ussey phir kabhi baat karunga. Abhi Niru ki tabiyat kharab hai. Hum ghar ja rahein hain. Bye taani"
He said this and walked off without even listening to taani. They drove home in silence. Niru regained consciousness but she began to weep when she recollected Vicky and his dirty intentions. To make matters worse, chandu was annoyed and dint respond to anything she said.
They reached home. He parked the car, got off and stormed into the house without waiting for Niru to come. She managed to get out from the car and walked slowly into the house. She was hurt that chandu dint even try to ask her about what happened. She went in and noticed that chandu was already in the shower. She went to the common bathroom and washed her face, had a hot shower, cleaned and applied medicine to the edge of her mouth, where there was a cut.
When she went back to the room, she saw chandu standing near the window. He looked upset and was red with anger, so angry that his fists shivered. She hesitated, but she had to talk to him.
"chandu..." she placed her hand on his shoulder. He did not respond.
"jo kuch bhi hua..."
"sab tumhari galti hai Niru..." he said with a rough tone. The anger was evident in his tone. Niru was shocked when he said this.
"meri galti? Is mein meri kya galti thi chandu?" she was on the verge of being in tears, again.
She was annoyed with what he said. He turned around to face her.
"galti sirf tumhari thi. Ek anjaan aadmi ne tumhe bulaya, aur tum chali gayi?"
"anjaan? Woh toh aapka dost tha. Vicky. Aur main sirf iss wajah se gayi thi. Woh mujhe ghar ka store room dikhana chahtha tha aur..."
"dost? Vicky naam ka mera koi dost nahi... Woh tumhe store room dikhana chahta that, aur tum chali gayi? Very good Niru. Pata hai agar main time pe nahi aata toh kya ho jaata? Pagal ho gayi thi kya?" he yelled at her on the top of his voice.
Niru was shocked. That man lied to her saying that he was chandu's friend. How did she believe him? How could she go with him? And now chandu was yelling at her? It had been a mistake, she shouldn't have trusted that man. But why was he saying this to her? Its not like she did it on purpose.
"tumhare saath kuch ho jaata toh?" chandu began to yell in anger again. "tum itni bewakoof kaise ho sakti ho. Huh... aisa laga ke tum apni marzi se uske sath gayi thi taaki tum uske sath ..." no sooner had he uttered these words, than he started regretting. He saw the hurt expression on her face. He looked at her with regret and shame for saying that.
Niru was shocked. she said nothing. She went to the bathroom, changed into her nightsuit, came outwith swollen red eyes, lied down on the bed, turned off the lights and covered herself with a blanket. She cried hysterically. Her husband doubted her. This was what hurt her the most, even more than what Vicky did. She did not look at chandu.
And chandu only stood near the window, regretting those spiteful words that he uttered. He dint know how, but he decided to say sorry... not say, infact beg for sorry, not sure whether he would be forgiven. But the night was long and it had wrapped many more moments and surprises for chandu and niru, which were yet to be unfolded by the two of them.
