Chapter-5
The dancing doll
Ritu was quite busy that day as Rajat was going to discharge and she had to do a lot of preperation for the party;it is a matter of pride for high class sophisticated people to throw a party on even tiny occasions,then that was indeed a big occassion,her only son had come back home after a horrible,deadly accident.
Rajat went directly to his room without showing much interest in his mom's preperations of party...Mugdha followed him.Entering in his room,he slumped on bed as though he was despeartly waiting for this moment...Mugdha's eyes were creeping in the room,for the first time she had entered in his new house and now in his room...it was showing that it belongs to a famous actor...the huge cutout like photograph tucked on wall behind his bed;he was looking like a rockstar having guitar in his hands and a black leather jacket with matching shoes covering his body.She observed everything deeply,beside color on the walls,expensive paintings,his cupboard,she also noticed a small music box dancing doll placed right behind his bed-shelf...moving there she picked it up..it was so beautiful that she could'nt resist herself but to twist its screw to play the music...it started and dolls started moving...

After a few bearable moments Rajat shouted,
"STOP IT!!!"
Mugdha's hand shivered with the sudden shout and the toy was about to fell from her hands but she somehow grabbed it tightly but the continuous music was making him mad..he rushed to her and shrugged it from her hands..opened the window and about to throw it when mugdha hold his hand...his actions were so all of sudden that she could'nt ask or think anything before stopping him... he snatched his hand vigorously...his eyes were red due to anger and it gave her a deep penetration leaving a tremble in her body...she never saw him in so much anger before...
"Why are you throwing it?"she somehow asked
He giving a glare stepped towards her,she scarcely stepped back,he pointed his index finger and said in anger,
"DON'T.YOU.EVER.DARE.TO.STOP.ME!!!"
She felt a shiver,her throat chocked due to dryness and she could'nt utter a single word in defence...she taking the toy rushed out of the room quickly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Party was almost started,some guest had already come and some were awaited...she came in the main hall and drank some water to relax and calm herself...some page 3 reporters had already come and taking photgraphs,interviewing socialites gathered there and enjoying starters.Mugdha adjusted her dress and hairs to look normal,wearing a fake smile on her lips she went to Ritu who was busy in chattering with a group of high class ladies.
Seeing Mugdha coming to her,Ritu welcomed her with a smile...
"Here comes my darling..." she introduced her with them and they shared a light hug..."Mugdha...she is the one who saved my son..."she explained.
Ladies looked at her raising their brows in amazement,they congratulated her for the nobel deed and indulged in crispy chat again.Although she was feeling bored being a part of that silly chat yet she dint have any other option but to tolerate those silly ladies.
After soem time when Rajat was coming down from stares,all page 3 reporters rushed to take a snap,holding their mikes they were fighting for asking question to him...Rajat welcomed all of them waving his hand and smiling continuously...
"Sir,we are happy to see you back..."someone started..."but can you tell us how you met with such a dangerous accident?"
The question was obvious so Rajat was prepared for it,"see..no one ever knows when death is going to cross one's way...but thanks to almighty,my fans prayers that I returned safe and healthy..."he said calmly.
"Mr.Rajat can you explain why Mauli is'nt present in party..I mean you both are..."another asked and Rajat cut him in between...
"Listen..she send her best wishes and apologized for not coming...she is busy in outdoor shouting..."
"But we have heard that you both broke up..."someone ranted and that question raised his temper yet he controlled himself,
"There is nothing like that..."he said
"Is it true that you were drunk that night coz you and Mauli faught on the issue related to stage show of Mr.Shahi?"someone asked loudly and that made him even more uncomfortable...he wiped sweat from his forehead and tried to avoid it..
But now reporters were not going to stop,endless questions related to Mauli and him ,they ranted and with each question his pateince surrendered more...he became restless and shouted in irritation
"Can anyone want to meet the girl who saved me???"
That shout made all of them quiet and then Rajat went to Mugdha who was quietly standing near the bar and watching things going on...he came closer to her...their eyes met...she found so much pain in his eyes...and he found so much verity in her watery eyes...he, holding her hand softly yet firmly dragged her in front of them and pointing towards her, shouted,
"MUGDHA,SHE SAVED ME!!!"
She looked at him confusedly,never thought he would be too straight in showing gratitude...he looked at her again..but this time his eyes were'nt panic,they were silent,as though bowing down in gratitude...she felt something was melting inside her...might be her heart...!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The idea of her introduction had started working...just after party finished Rajat got a call from Mauli,he smirked seeing the name flashing on his mobile screen...
"Hello sweetheart...!"he smirked.
Mauli was not in a mood to ask his welness,she directly came to the point,"Rajat..what is all this...I have heard??"she asked panicy.
Rajat's heartbeats jumped for a moment,"Mauli I don know telepathy"he said enjoying her restlessness.
Mauli screamed,"TO HELL WITH YOUR PJ'S...TELL ME WHO IS THAT GIRL???"
He supressed his winning smile and said calmly,"My friend,my savior..."putting an extra stress on 'savior'
That made Mauli to burn in jealousy,"WHAT THE HELL...!!!"
"Mauli..will talk to u later,Mugdha is calling me..bye!"he said and cut the call.
After he hung up,he laughed loudly..so loudly that he never did...he was feeling a deep satisfaction and so he went to sleep peacefully after so many unpeacefull nights.
Where as Mugdha was still awaken,still thinking about that dancing doll...why he went ballistic listening its music..why??? did Mauli gifted it to him,did she??? but whatever happened ...he never had gone so mad on her..then why???
