Part 15
"How do I conceal my emotions that burn without a fire" he said with a fierce look...
She closed her eyes tightly as his hold was strong enough, making her fall for him...with full
petrified paroxysm of desire he lay his lips on hers...
He caressed her body passionately, never letting his lips leave her mouth...Her skin was soft and
pure under his rough hands.
The world seemed to disappear...
For one moment she melted into him...Her lips were full and soft, the connection didn't break...
The power of his lips on hers was alluring...the world was lost to the moment.
After few minutes...
Chandni opened her eyes and pushed him away "leave me" She turned her face and took a few
deep breaths
Veer couldn't tolerate a word of rejection from her and pulled her strongly in his arms...
Chandni wanted to struggle, to reprimand, to complain...but he grabbed her face and kissed her
so forcefully that a lick of flame burned her to the core...
His hold was strong for her and his mouth was crushing her lips...
She tried to pull away as he sucked her lips with force...he felt her body fidgeting...she tried to
push him away but he did not let her budge an inch...
The more she pushed the more he pulled her body strongly against him...
She couldn't bear the pain...tears almost floated her beautiful eyes...her face was red...his one
hand grabbing her by the waist to pull her close to him and other pulling on her silk tresses
simultaneously...she felt his tongue plundering her mouth...
After a long time...
Veer's lips left hers and he walked away to unbolt the door... he turned to look at her before leaving her room...
she looked ferociously at him... but he winked at her...
-------
Kaka reached the monastery...he looked at the address on the piece of a paper...
Manohar seemed tired of the journey... "Kaka,how many times will you check the address...we
have reached the right place...lets go in"
Kaka walked slowly towards Gompa...it was situated at a distance of twenty kilometers from the
town of Leh.
It was a beautiful monastery of Ladakh...It belonged to the gelukpa order of Buddhism...they
looked at the new monastery situated on a hilltop, to the north of Indus River...
It was a residence of approximately eighty monks... as they entered they saw a rich collection of numerous valuable artifacts and ancient relics...
--------
Veer entered his room and took off the shirt...his arm was hurting...he looked in the mirror and
saw some scratches on his arms...
he remembered when he was kissing her harshly...she dig her nails in his arms with pain...for
the first time in his life he forcefully touched a girl and kissed her so badly...
His thoughts carried him through the regret, he was not feeling good after what he did with her...
how could he not control his feelings for her, that could have been gentle instead of the fierce
passion that gave her the pain...
After few minutes
Veer was looking at the antique pocket watch his Father gifted him on his last birthday. With moist
eyes he thought about his Father...though he never spent time with his Father but he did
remembered him...
He was lonely...though he had relationship with so many girls in his life...there were so many girls
who loved him but he never even bothered to look at them...his relationship was limited to one
night with every girl...
---------
Chandni touched her sore lips...she washed her face thoroughly...she touched her jaw and
chin...it was painful for her... she felt like hitting him hard on his head...but at the same time
she knew the fact that she was getting attracting to him...
She couldn't sleep properly...It was difficult for her to hide her emotions, kill her feelings...she
was angry at his behavior but she wasn't prepared to accept the truth that he was the first man in
her life who touched her heart and soul...
She closed her eyes and remembered the day when she saw her Mother crying bitterly...she
couldn't forget that day in her whole life...It was her sixteenth birthday...
----
Meenakshi was busy preparing for her daughter's birthday party...
Kamini "i am again telling you...that man doesn't deserve to come here..."
Meenakshi "no mom...he has changed...he wants to meet his daughter..."
Kamini "daughter!!!!...does he even know what it means???? does he knows his responsibilities??"
Meenakshi "mom '.i understand...but if he's regretting and wants to come back and live with us...then what's the problem...i have forgiven him...i know he has changed"
Kamini "you don't know anything...you are again falling in his trap...did you forget how he cheated you before..."
Meenakshi "mom that was fifteen years back...but now he has changed...please mom we can give him one more chance...for Chandni's sake...she needs a Father..."
Kamini "fine...do what you want...but I know him very well...he can never improve..."
------
Meenakshi was eagerly waiting for Ragvender, when she got a call from her friend who had an accident and was admitted in the nearest hospital... "mom I have to rush to see Seema...she's in the hospital...will be back soon"
Kamini was busy preparing for her visit to the temple...she always gave offerings to the poor on her Grand daughter's birthday... she left for the temple soon...
After some time...
The door bell rang... Chandni was getting ready...she looked beautiful... she walked downstairs to open the door...
Ragvender was lost when he looked at Chandni...there was lust in his eyes... "can I come in??"
Chandni reluctantly let him in...
Ragvender leered at her "can I have some water...???"
Chandni went in the kitchen...he followed her... somehow she turned behind...he tried to hold her...she managed to get out of the kitchen...she was climbing the stairs when he hold her legs and pulled her down... It was difficult for her to get out of his grasp...but she was a strong girl...with all her efforts she managed to kick him and run upstairs in her room... she bolted the door from inside... he banged the door... tears were floating from her eyes...she was scared...
After few minutes... there was silence...she heard her mother downstairs...
she quietly opened the door...
Meenakshi "but what were you doing upstairs??? did you meet your daughter???"
Ragvender "daughter???? where is she???"
Meenakshi called Chandni downstairs...
Chandni was horrified...she quickly hugged her Mother
Meenakshi looked at Chandni "what happened ??? tell me???"
Chandni "mom this man wanted to molest me...i...i..somehow escaped..."
Meenakshi furiously looked at him "how dare you touch my daughter???? she is Chandni...how could you do that?"
Ragvender wasn't feeling guilty "well I got mistaken...i am sorry"
Meenakshi "no, I won't let you escape that easily...i will call the police...i trusted you again...i was wrong...but this time I won't let you go...you will get what you deserve"
Ragvender angrily pulled her and slapped Meenakshi... Chandni was scared...
he pulled Meenakshi towards the room and bolted it from inside... Chandni didn't know what to do...all she could hear was her Mother's screams... she quickly left the house to call her Grandmother, who was at the temple...
After some time...
Her Grandmother came with few police officers... but when she opened the door she found Meenakshi in a terrible condition...
-------------
Chandni opened her eyes...even the thought of Ragvender scared her... she couldn't tolerate
any man touching her... she wanted to cry but the tears stopped at her eyes... she was not the
one who could share her thoughts easily, she was a stranger even to herself...
--------
"Fortunes don't tell us everything, somethings are always kept with destiny" Bhuvan was reading the
map... Kaka looked at his expressions that did not seem to change...instead there was a smile on
his lips...
Kaka was desperate to know what was written on the old piece of paper... "Bhuvan please throw
some light..."
Bhuvan took off his glasses...and kept the paper on his side "Kaka...we all have our past
lives...but generally no one is bothered to know or they don't feel the need to know..."
Kaka couldn't understand "Bhuvan please elaborate a little"
Bhuvan smiled "Kaka, this map doesn't say much...it only gives a direction to some old place which
is located far east...may be Darjeeling"
Kaka was surprised "Darjeeling!!!!! but what is there ??? why does this map gives direction to
Darjeeling only???"
Bhuvan closed his eyes for few seconds "Some stories fade with time and some stories want us to
remember them...no matter how old, how mysterious they are...this map tells everything that
happened in the royal family about hundred or two hundred years back..."
Kaka was listening carefully... "so will you able to tell what all happened???"
Bhuvan showed the other side of the map that had some old scribbling with a black ink... "can you
see that Kaka...i can read what's written here"
Bhuvan wore his glasses...
"some hundred years ago there was an old palace in Rajasthan...the great King Maharana Pratap
seated on the thrown for his usual assembly in the main hall... he had a beautiful wife Maharani
Satyabhama who was extremely loyal and spiritually powerful...
she loved her husband more than her own life... but she wasn't aware of her husband's illegal
relationship with different women...
One fine day...Satyabhama kept a fast for her husband's long life...she woke up early and went
towards his palace... as she entered his room she was shocked to see him with a different
woman...
that day she gave the curse to the family "you have cheated me, now you will suffer every
minute...no heir in your family will live after 21 years..."
Maharana Pratap was horrified "Satyabhama, please take your words back...i am terribly
ashamed of my acts... I will not repeat it...i promise...you take your curse back...i can't live
without you"
Satyabhama could feel her husband was saying the truth... "its too late, I won't come in your life
again"
Maharana Pratap took off his crown and kept it at her feet "then I will kill myself now...this crown is
at your feet..."
Satyabhama was touched "Maharana ji this curse will not change..."
Maharana Pratap "but why are you cursing the whole generation?? its my mistake, I will pay for it"
Satyabhama looked at him "no Maharana Ji...you have cheated me and this curse is a lesson for
your coming generations..."
Maharana Pratap "you are a Mother of coming generations...you have to think about them...don't
be so harsh"
Satyabhama stood still "Maharana Ji...you broke my trust...i worshipped you...you were my
God...but for the coming generations, I can only say they will survive only on one condition, they
must have relationship with a pure hearted girl who must have done good deeds in her past
life...only then they will live forever"
Satyabhama turned to walk away...
Maharana Pratap touched her feet "Satyabhama I can't live without you...you have to come back
in my life"
Satyabhama "its not that easy Maharana Ji..."
She said and walked towards the terrace of the royal palace and jumped from the highest point and
died...
-------
Kaka took a deep breath "now what is the solution? I only want to save Veer"
Bhuvan's frown vanished into smile "Kaka, we have a solution but it only gives the direction and
nothing else...as I told you its a place in the far east...but I can't tell anything else..."
Kaka was in a deep thought...
Bhuvan "Kaka... you must leave some things on destiny...we can only pray for him..."
-------
Chandni woke up and started packing her things... she had to leave for Darjeeling...
As she came out of her room...he was standing outside... "come I will drop you" he said with a smile...
Chandni was still furious "aren't you ashamed of what you have done ??? how could you even talk to me??"
Veer smiled while holding the handle of her bag "let me put it in the car"
Chandni refused to leave the handle "no just leave...i will go myself"
Veer touched her hand...she immediately pulled her hand away "these soft hands are not to carry
bags" he said and picked up the bag and walked towards the door...
Chandni was unwilling to go with him... she stood outside for few minutes...he opened the door
for her "sit...otherwise you will get late"
she stared at him...then sadly sat inside... he closed the door...
