Daksh's Mansion.

Daksh' s sprawling mansion was looking as though a castle from a fairytale had descended upon earth. The whole mansion was decorated with star shaped white lights. Huge white and dust rose pink gypsy tents had been set up amongst hanging lamps that hung by invisible wires . The huge lawns had been decorated with orchids and calendulas. There were ballerinas dancing on the centre stage. The mobile bar looked all set to roll everyone in alcohol. The servants were running around , fixing everything as per Pancchi's directions. Pancchi , in her denim shorts , white sneakers and a white gunjee , the fairy emerald shining on her neck and her silky black hair pulled back into a ponytail – she was acting as the perfect party planner. Daksh , standing, in his parking was talking on the phone coolly as he cut his hand playfully with the nip of a pocket knife.

Daksh ( leaning in his signature sexy drawl on his car )- Don't worry about a thing, Mom. The whole city will be here in two hours to welcome you , my brothers and sisters……( pause)… yeah, they will be here too. And I have a killer surprise for you… ( smiles at Panchhi who is innocently going about looking into all last minute preparations )….and a beauty is going to present it to you. Gotta go now. I should be getting ready. See you!

Daksh waves at Panchhi and signals her that he is going inside the house to change. As soon as Daksh goes in, Kabir , Misha and Zeenia arrive on the spot. They look towards Pancchi and exchange glances. As they had decided before the disappearance of T and the Sambhav fiasco happened – they HAD to talk to Pancchi and somehow get that green monster off her neck. They had waited all day long to catch hold of Pancchi but to no avail. Pancchi was at Daksh's office all night , arranging for the properties and deciding on layouts. The whole day she had been busy looking into the arrangements of the party. The gang had no choice but to go and speak to Pancchi at any cost. Before the slayer's party happened. If Daksh was driving her around like a puppet , there had to be a reason for it. So, as the unsuspecting innocent Pancchi stood amidst the satins , the lights and the ballerinas, the trio started walking towards her.

Pancchi ( looking at the checklist as Daksh's manager calmly looked at her )- Hmmm… North Indian, South Indian, Chinese, Italian, Mexican , Lebanese, Thai- great! Look, the food should be ready for the guests by sharp 8.30pm and mind you , everything has to be AUTHENTIC and the chefs better deliver the same taste that they promised me in the samples, okay? You know Daksh likes everything grand and exclusive , hmmm? ….The ballerinas should not stop until the last guest has left and … ( gets upset )… where are those belly dancers ?

Manager ( looking at his wrist watch )- Don't worry, Pancchi madam. The girls have arrived in Dehradun , they will be reaching here in half an hour and will be in the party by 8pm.

Pancchi ( reading the checklist again )- Great. The fireworks! Remember what Daksh instructed. The fireworks have to light up the sky the moment Daksh's family shows up. And yes, Daksh wants the tarts , the scones , the blueberry cupcakes , the crispy vegetables , the cheeseballs , the fruit baskets shoudn't go even once out of sight… and …. ( looks around)…. The flying lanterns? I hope you have them ready on time. They are supposed to float in air.

Manager – Don't worry about a thing , madam. They will be here on time.

Just then, Kabir comes and puts a hand on Pancchi's shoulder and she turns around.

Pancchi ( hugging Kabir and Misha and nodding smilingly at Zeenia )- Hey guys! Good to see you all here but how come?... its still two hours to go before the party and you guys are definitely not attending the bash in these vests , mini skirts and sneakers! …. ( to the manager )… now go and cross check everything with Gargi. Daksh wants everything perfect and there is no room for mistake.

The manager nods and goes.

Kabir ( looking around )- WOW! Fairylights , ballerinas and satin drapes , eh? Is this what Cinderella's ball looked like?

Zeenia ( shutting up Kabir's mouth by stuffing her vegetable roll in his mouth )- Oh, Kabir dahling! We can praise this transformer station later in the night…( Kabir coughs and takes the roll out of his mouth )….let's get to the point . Ummm, Pancchi …( going closer and looking into her eyes ).. I needed a favor from you.

Pancchi ( smilingly )- Sure, Anushka. Tell me, babe.

Misha signals Zeenia to go ahead but Zeenia tries to convey to her that something is wrong. Our plan is not going to work and I saw it coming even before we landed here.

Zeenia ( pouting her bright pink mouth )- You see, birdilicious ,am wearing an off shoulder short black dress with a bottle green silk bow at the waistline and…. ( looking at the emerald hanging in her neck )… I wanted to borrow this gorgeous emerald for the night. It would go perfect with my dress and am sure you won't mind.

Zeenia's hand is about to finger the emerald when Pancchi's angelic sunshine face turns dark and a tad evil and she grips Zeenia's hand with a supernatural force. Misha and Kabir are taken aback but Kabir nudges Misha not to react at all. Zeenia raises an eyebrow.

Pancchi ( almost growling )- Don't even think about it, Anushka! Its mine and forget wearing it , I would kill you even if you eyed it! Get out of here and wear something that is not green!

Zeenia ( innocently )- Why not? What is so special about it?

Pancchi ( angrily )- Daksh has given it to me and he has said that if anyone tries to take it away from me, I should just kill that person! …(holding the emerald possessively )….i can't live without it!

Zeenia ( focusing her energies on her )- So, are you going to kill me?

Pancchi ( grabbing her neck )- Try me!

Zeenia ( softly and timidly ) – Relax, Pancchi. I am not taking it away from you. Relax. Let loose…. ( Pancchi's aggression begins to dissolve and she leaves her neck )….go inside. Gargi is about to call you to ask you to get ready…. Get going….

Pancchi , suddenly feeling shaky and out-of-a-trance , turns on her heels runs inside the house.

Kabir ( disturbed )- So, Daksh has captivated her by that charmed jewel? That is why you couldn't hypnotize her into giving it to you?

Misha ( shaking her head )- DAMN! We thought you'd get it from her.Now what?

Zeenia ( applying voveren gel on her swan like neck and checking it in a silver hand mirror )- I had told you before hand. Magic doesn't cancel out magic. You can only undo the spell, not cancel it. The moment I looked into that duck's eyes, I knew she was under a spell and she is as good as a trained German Shepherd right now. Daksh is gonna play some bloodsport on her expense and we need to keep an eye on her, okay? …..You can't pluck that object off her neck , it can take her life. We have to think of something else …. I mean, me. I have to come up with a solution. My hypnosis just saved my life but could not overtake Pancchi.

Kabir ( nods )- Hmmm… I will be keeping an eye on Pancchi tonight. I won't let her get out of my sight even for a second.

Zeenia ( kissing his cheek )- And my eyes will be on you, cuppy cake!...( Kabir looks at her as though struck )….now lets go. It will take me another hour to find a dress that has no green on it!

Zeenia winks at Kabir and walks like a cat through the decorated lawn , making eyes of servants and even watchdogs turn in her direction.

Kabir ( feeling his cheek and looking suspicious )- Anushka would rather slap me than ever kiss me… and they…. They were not Anushka's lips!...she sent a ..a….heatwave through me. Anushka was magical… and look at that! Its not the way Anushka walks…..( feeling crazy)… what the hell has happened to Anushka?

Misha ( rolling her eyes as there are more things to worry about )- Kabir , can we deal with this later? Wipe that lipstick off your cheek and let's go. It's a LONG night ahead!

Kabir nods and walks behind Misha , looking at Anushka strangely. He couldn't say this to Misha , especially at this hour when T, Sam, Pancchi and Abheer were wreaking havoc on her. But he couldn't help but notice that this new avatar of Anushka had stopped surprising him. It had, infact , started arousing him sexually. And that is what Kabir could not fathom. Anushka always filled his heart with light and beauty , giving him a heavenly peace. But NOW? She was evoking desire in him. Kabir shook his head and walked towards the car. Mission, Kabir. Concentrate there!

Raichand Mansion

Abhay walked into his house , looking calm and casual in a blue shirt and white trousers, the garments falling like a soft alluring veil over his tall lean masculine frame. He was coming straight from the office to get ready for the party. Haseena was at a salon and would join him at the party straightaway. Chaand would be back in half an hour as he had gone to see the construction site for the spa that the Raichands were going to set up. Abhay , avoiding Maithli's calls, telling her off in the most polite way when she came to see him at the office , had left the office early to escape her nagging. Infact, Abhay had begun to feel stalked by her. He could see a desperate madness in her eyes and a helpless quiver in her voice – it was almost like she was begging him to love her and Abhay's heart was sticking out its tongue in response. On top of that, his unexplained passion and desire for Piya that he no longer felt guilty about , combined with the mess that Daksh, Sambhav and Abheer were creating. Abhay shook his head, his ice blues wanting to match with the shade of his shirt .

Abhay ( climbing up the marble staircase )- At this rate , you will soon need a shrink, Abhay Raichand. And you don't even know if they do therapy for vampires… ( runs a tired hand through his hair)… anyway! To the party of the sworn enemies!

As Abhay is walking towards his room , he smells perfume in the air and he stops in his tracks. His disturbed face melts into a look of pleasant recognition and surprise as well.

Abhay ( looking around )- Euphoria Blossom? That's…..that's Piya's fragrance! She is here? ….( his face lights up)… what is she doing here ?

Abhay follows the fragrant whiff of Piya and reaches Haseena and Chaand's room. He looks a little puzzled as he stops at the door.

Abhay ( confused )- Mom-Dad's room? What is she doing here?...Is she even here at all or have I started hallucinating about her?

Abhay slowly opens the door and looks in. He sees nobody inside but the perfume seems to have gone stronger. Abhay comes into the elaborately done up Victorian room. As he walks in , he sees a lovely salmon coloured dress with flounces lying on the bed. He can hear the shower running inside the bathroom. He turns around and finds Piya's flower-print bag lying on Haseena's dresser and a pair of black stilettos that are definitely not Haseena's size.

Abhay ( taken aback )- I don't believe this for sure! What is Piya Jaiswal doing in my parents' bedroom? ……(goes and knocks at the glazed glass door of the bathroom)…Piya, is it you in there?

The water stops running and Abhay hears her gasp and come next to the other side of the door.

Piya ( from inside the bathroom )- Abhay? What are you doing here? Get out!

Abhay ( amused by the panic in her voice )- Wonderful ! You are happily jumping around in the water of my house – using my parents' bathroom and bedroom – in MY house and am told to get out? Come out and tell me what are you upto?

Piya ( clenching her teeth )- Abhay, in case you have forgotten , I have full liberty to come in and get out of your house, duly permitted by your parents. And I am here because Haseena aunty bought the party dress for me but since she had to go to the salon , she told me to dress up from here and come to the party. Happy? Now, go. I have to get ready.

Abhay smiles and folding his arms across his chest , leans on the door.

Abhay ( being a tease )- I buy the excuse , madam and you can get ready . Who is stopping you?

Piya ( after a silence of confusion and disbelief ) – A-Are you mad? How will I get ready if you keep leaning on this door and don't get out?

Abhay ( coolly )- Why should I get out? Its my house. You are the forced guest, missy. Come out, dress up , paint in make up and go to the party of the slayers.

Piya ( wearing the bathrobe and biting her tongue )- How shameless can you get, Abhay? Even in a situation where we all are in such deep shit , you are getting these sick ideas in your head?

Abhay ( suppresses a smile )- Shameless ? Sick ideas? They must be in your head, Piya. I am a thorough gentleman and that is why I am here and not inside there with you. Secondly, of course I know you will come out in a bathrobe and am not imagining any uncensored view of you.

Piya gets so irritated that she opens the sliding door and glares at Abhay with her hands on her hips. She looks clearly angry, disturbed and irritated. Abheer had given her so much panic and anxiety that she was finding all of Abhay's mischief and teasing more like salt on her wounds. She didn't care that she was all wet , dressed in a bathrobe and that was not a very presentable appearance to greet Abhay in a bedroom.

Piya ( angrily )- Abhay! Can you just leave me alone and understand that your mischief cannot clean up the shit that we are in!...( near tears )….just go!

Abhay realizes that Piya looks genuinely ruffled and he stops teasing her. He keeps quiet and makes her sit on the stool near the dresser . He pulls a chair next to her with a towel in his hand. He puts his palm under the towel and dabs her face dry as though she was a little baby. Piya blinks her big baby browns at him as his ice blues look at her face searchingly.

Abhay ( drying her face and neck )- T is alive and we will see her soon, I can just feel it. Don't worry. Sam will choose his own path and we can do nothing about it. Deal with it…..( stands up and dries her hair with the towel )… and if you are thinking about Abheer and what he will do to Misha, then, have faith in me. I will always stand between trouble and Misha.

Piya feels very heavy in her heart as Abhay tends to her, gives her a confident pep talk and tries to calm her down. Damn! Why am I screaming at Abhay? What is his fault if Abheer is such an evil serpent? Infact , I don't have any right to scream at Abhay. I am the guilty party!

Abhay clicks his fingers in Piya's face and she looks at him with a forced smile.

Abhay ( putting her curls behind her ears and not removing his hand from her curls)- I will handle everything , Piya. No enemy wind can ever touch you or my friends as long as I am there….( holds her babyface in his hands )….i don't want to think about what we have between us but whatever it is , I am not ashamed of it….all I can say is that for you, I would come from any corner of the world. So…

He makes her stand up and turns her towards the mirror.

Abhay ( smiles at her image )- Now, stop behaving like a soap queen and get ready. It's a long night ahead and we have to be on time, hmmm? And….

Piya ( sweetly )- And?

Abhay gives her a half grin and slides his arms around her waist. Piya prays that Abhay is not upto any if testing games because there is a limit upto which she can fight his effect! But quite contrary to her fear , Abhay ties the string of her bathrobe , shocking the living daylights out of Piya. Oh no! She forgot to tie the bathrobe? Yet, it stayed in place? Piya turns a flaming red in the cheeks.

Abhay ( grinning )- Lucky you , Piya. Am I actually that good-looking that you forgot to tie your bathrobe? Shucks! I missed the view!...( Piya moves out of his arms )….is that poetry guy also this good-looking ? Makes you forget yourself ? Or does he just write those great love letters?

Piya feels she just read a note of sadness in his voice but he winks at her. Handing her the salmon dress and taking a good look at her, he quietly leaves the room. Piya keeps looking at the closed door , blinking back her tears. Everytime Abhay mentioned the 'man who writes poetic letters' with a tinge of jealousy and sadness in his voice, Piya's heart sunk and she wished the floor would open and she would get swallowed into it forever.

Ridge Road

Misha was standing at the intersection point of the ridge road. She had parked her car aside and was on phone with Ruhi. Dressed in a short shimmery brandy sleeveless dress , accessorized with plain big gold bangles and a pair of gold stilettos , she looked every inch a gold dust fairy in the night. But her mood was anything like that of a fairy.

Misha ( irritated )- Ruhi! My delirious dumbilicious! Stop screaming at Angad and tell him to take a left from Montana Bakery and then , the second left! I don't believe you morons . You both have actually forgotten the direction to the Kimbuz Point on Ridge Road?...( pause and Misha stamps her feet on the street )…. Fools! I will wait here for 15 minutes and if you both don't reach here, tell Angad to forget his boys night and drop you to Daksh's party himself!

Misha throws the phone inside the car and paces about , looking at her wrist watch and then, at the direction from where Ruhi and Angad should be coming. Just then, she sees the headlights of a car appear on he horizon but she doesn't pay attention as Ruhi and Angad are supposed to be coming on a bike. But to Misha's utter surprise, the car stops near her and she is taken aback.

Misha ( shouts )- What the beep beep beep? Did I sparkle too much with this gold that you forgot where your headlights were leading you, you moron?

Immediately Misha understands that this car would stop next to her anywhere in the world. Ughs! ABHEER! Not again. Dressed in smart casuals and a camel leather jacket , his deep greens sparkling , he steps out of the car and smiles pseudo-sheepishly at Misha.

Abheer ( mischievously )- 5 feet 6 inches of gold brandy I could drown in!...
