Chapter 21- The past recall (part two )
The past recall (part one)
"So where are we meeting ? "Asked Draupadi as she and Arjun walked out of the library after a whole day study for the IQ.
"Why do we have to meet ?"asked Arjun instead of giving an answer .
"Because...because we love each other and can not stay without each other !"said Draupadi sweetly .
"What ! .?"
"What , what ? If u ask stupid question I will give u stupid answer ! "Snapped draupadi . "U know that we have to learn together and tomorrow is a holiday so where r we gonna meet to study ?"
"Umm I do not know maybe somewhere in a cafe.."suggested Arjun.
"Yes cafe ! I was going to suggest that ! How about the one near the park down the road . The cafe de * ! "
"What ? No no not there lets go somewhere else "said Arjun immediately in a worried voice .
"Why not there ? It is near also !"said Draupadi as she had some plans in her head . The cafe was owned by her friend Hidamba 's so called love of life and this was her only was to meet the person who was to be her Jeeju!
"Because I do not like that place ! How about somewhere else ?maybe the one at the end of the street !"replied Arjun . The cafe she was talking about was owned by his brother Bheem and taking a girl to that cafe means solid danger so he rejected the idea and made lame excuses.
"Nope ! We will meet in that cafe and that is just final ! "Shouted Draupadi which scared Arjun and he moved a bit steps back .
"We r meeting in cafe de* ! I will wait there only . If u want to come , u come otherwise spend your time with your girlfriend Ullopi !"continued Draupadi as she walked out .
"God ! This girl is so bossy ! She is rude , arrogant , stubborn and dominating and beautiful ..."said Arjun as Draupadi disappeared from there .
"Now what should I do ? Wear a burka and go! "
...
Draupadi entered the cafe and was taken aback by the surrounding . It was beautifully decorated and as she moved her steps forward she smelled coffee aroma .
She was still busy looking around when she came across someone . She saw a huge man sitting in a round table surrounded by ice cream and having them . He was eating ice cream from three different container , each at a time.
Draupadi smiled as she saw that but after some time the scene changed. The same man in front of her was soaked in blood and was beating another person who was lying down in the ground half dead , half alive . Slowly he took out some blood from the man's chest and to Draupadi surprise and horror the huge man poured the blood in Draupadi 's hair .
And finally after finishing all he took out some more blood and then drank it .
Modern Draupadi could not stand seeing that scene . She burst into tears
and ran away for there . She ran as fast as she could to get away from that horrible person in front of her . She could not hold her past . As her steps moved forward she banged with someone.
"Hey ! Are u okay ?"said a familiar voice .
Draupadi looked up and found Arjun. Not able to balance herself with all she had seen she quickly hugged Arjun tightly .
Arjun was taken aback by the hug. He remained motionless not knowing what to do .
First of all they were meeting in his brother cafe and now hugging in public ! Arjun went red thinking about the consequences .
"Are u okay Panchali ? "He asked pulling her away from the hug .
"What happened ? "
"That person out there ..."said Draupadi in a soft frightened voice and hugged Arjun again .
He pulled her away and cupped her face in his hands . He eyes were red and filled with tears . Arjun was somewhat scared looking at those eyes .
He felt as though he had seen it before .
"What happened Panchali ? "He asked again but this time with more care.
"That man sitting there ...is very ...is horrible , he is a rakchas (demon)."
Arjun looked at the direction she was pointing and saw his brother eating ice cream there .
He first got confused but then smiled thinking,
"Aree Bheem brother why do u eat so much that a girl gets scared of you and thinks u r a Rakchas !"
He wanted to laugh but controlled . He looked again at Panchali who was now constantly staring at the streets.
He tried speaking something when she burst out again ,
"Why do u have long hair ?"
"What long hair ? I do not have long hair !"replied confused Arjun as he moved his fingers in his hair as if to check whether if he really had long hair .
"You have moustache also "said Draupadi again ignoring his reply .
"What moustache ? No I do not have moustache ! "He said now totally confused on what she was speaking .
She did not reply and stood there silent for sometime and after sometime angrily with eyes filled with tears looking sharply at him said ,
"Arya ! Ap meri rakshya kyu nahi kar paye ? "
Arjun was surprised as well as scared to look her like this . He got some flashes as he collected strength to fight it .
He finally got away from the flashes but was still haunted by her stare . He decided to look away from the stare .
"Why has she turned into mata Kali ? ",he thought silently as he still did not meet her eyes . He was still thinking what to do when she called out for him ,
"Arya "she called out but this time not angrily but softly in a seductive manner .
Arjun could not believe what he was seeing ! She was seducing him with she voice and eyes .
"In one minute Sunny Deol in another minute Sunny Leone !"thought Arjun . He was now totally out of his mind . It was like he was watching different movies with the same heroine .
Not able to take anymore he shouted ,
"Panchali ! "
Draupadi who had drowned in her past came back to reality by Arjun 's shout . She shivered in horror and tired to reply ,
"Arya ...u ...I ...we ...what "she kept on saying but could not complete it . She was scared of him suddenly and before she could react further ,the world around her started collapsing down and she started loosing her control over her body . She closed her eyes as she fell into two strong arms hearing his last words
Panchali !
