Hey hammie have you seen a thumbs up commercial? It's tag line is " aaj kuch toofani karte hain." Lol. ab maine kahan se dekhne hai.. but thanks for giving me an inkling.. might try you tube..
How do I say how much I liked the ride. I mean reading about it. The wat he asked nakku to change her position was cute and funny. Poor toofan must be thinking what is happening on me, can't they sit properly?
baat sun in victorian times ladies rode side saddle.. ummm for reasons .. tu samhje ja.. but
even to me it seemed unsafe..
Ha ha and when finally nakku settled down she gives a hard time to our sher.i sure did chuckle at this remark...😛.. mind you sherni bun gaye naku bhi
I am sure this close proximity was unnerving for her too but I am not complaining. The way he was explaining her to balance her weight I was like yaar this horse riding is so technical. Lol. But the whole scene was beautifully penned with both of them considering each other as their respective star and moon. How romantic.
romance...? only rose does the best tasha love stories..me I ONLY work on formulas!..I like action.. and tragic angles..
Oh I thought the good news would be something else. Now don't ask me what was in my innocent mind. dare you to tell me rose!
However I agree with dutta when your family or close ones hurt you then that hurt us ten times more hurtful than getting hurt by a stranger or an enemy.
loved the way you expressed this
So if he is taking his time to forgive them then it's fine. I am sure he will come around soon. Now meeting with kaido would have been more interesting if Dutta knew that the pevert had hit on his girl. He would have broken his bones. Tasha going on a double date...that's nice but what is this after working on the fields now he will work on the dock! I have a feeling now nana's smuggling business is in danger. Chalo now let's see how Dutta pacifies his ruthi hui almost biwi
now you need to read the next which will be posted tomm.. thanks so much for your lovely comment rosie.. much love hammie

"Naku didn't quite known what to say, but this she knew, that even her silence spoke volumes to him.. sometimes silence creates magic. But, Naku believed in practicality as well. She was aware that time fleeted away, like a foe of their love". Now u will understand what I meant with regard to ur ff in my earlier comment, THE RHYME.😳👏⭐️

"As the horse trotted , both her and Dutta jostled gently on the horse's back, and their bodies rhythmically brushed against each other.. Dutta looked ahead ,than raised his eyes up to the dark firmament, that was star studded with a thousand stars. They gleamed, twinkled and rejoiced at the two riders on one black stallion! That may not have been , as it camouflaged so well in the midnight all-encompassing darkness of the romantic night." The hottnesss... And the dreamland of TASHA.

bas! I get the message.. loud and clear cutiedream! aur sun, don't be a phankah.. just continue to be a reader of my work.. actually its not me its them, duttaaa and nakusha that are the main attraction.. hard to ward off this couple.. rosie tried.. but see she bounced back!

totally us rosie ke gahlati hai.. getting me off the rails hope you have taken to get rid of your fever.. have some iced coffee with loads of ice cube

"yehri! jaise ke maine is ka haat thama hoya hai"😳

well,Cutie tried to capture dutta's surly dry wit

OMG !!!!!!! the tractor-wala moment; truly an epic⭐️

"tu yoon kyun nehin soochte , jaise ke hamra lggaan ho chukka hai", and the propinquity, the closeness; aweee, totally made my heart liquefy like a candle .😳

ummhh ,this line was a bit much coming from Ltl 1 DUTTA... yaad hai cutie, he was shy,hesitant.. not so ,in landing a punch on someone's chinny chin,though!

"thujhe pata hona chahiye lardki! Dutta mazza nehin kerta, sirf pyar kerta hai.." ufff... The audacity, the brashness, over the top, too much to knob.⭐️

yes.. his aloofness..at times, and the use of the word.. lardki.. stick in my memory.. the ever changeable, nature of dutta.. all my stories ,some how end up glorifying him.. hence I outline to.. the actor who plays dutta in my stories.. its when the actor playing dutta changed, I decided I would name the man.. who is the ulitmate dutta for me..and I daresay ,some others.. no disrespect to the replacement ,of course..

I mean when nana was away, dsp feared of getting caught up with naku and loosing her and now the devil in in front of him and naku and they are showing much more valor !!!! 😉

I was about to have a fit of laughter; nana is getting of the news of his food grains robbed off,😆 and he is more interested in the overture of dsp and getting striked with his dexterity and proficiency. 😆 @hammie: sometimes u really do amuse me.👏

well ,tried to show nana ,with all his might is duped!

I m over whelmed my the footage AS got in ch=19. It's a kind of character development.👏

👏

one truth = i was at 1st not happy by ur decision of choosing nana as the villain, 4 my own reason regarding ltl. but feeling happy that u did it. and i do wish that it never-er get to an end👏

dont you worry nana tavde ,remains a scoundrel ,till the end!

thanks for a fabulous comment cutie, enjoyed reading and annotating it. much love hammie

hi cutie, you still speaking in dialogues? this is becoming flattering, hammie is getting a swollen head!

"tu hai mera sukoon Naku."= the epitome of love.lov cannot b purest than this.👏

I tried to capture ,his innocent simplicity too..in the serial , there was talk about ,naku's innocence ..but you think in the serial, many times she told him lies.. serious ones too.. but dutta was ,transparent ...

"Naku didn't quite known what to say, but this she knew, that even her silence spoke volumes to him.. sometimes silence creates magic. But, Naku believed in practicality as well. She was aware that time fleeted away, like a foe of their love". Now u will understand what I meant with regard to ur ff in my earlier comment, THE RHYME.😳👏⭐️

oh thanks for reading my stories so closely.

"As the horse trotted , both her and Dutta jostled gently on the horse's back, and their bodies rhythmically brushed against each other..

well, I tried to show, all the world loves, lovers

"dil bher aya tha Naku.. is liye tera pas chala aya hoon.. ye maat soochna ke raat ke undhare mein, aur is tanhai mein ,mera koi aur maqsaad tha",the highly self esteemed man, the divine dsp.⭐️

"bas tere zindagi bhar ka saath maangta hoon.. de ge na? and he held his palm out .. and Naku placed her palm in his and his fingers closed over her tiny hand"=

I remember, dutta in the serial was a man, who got straight to the point..ghuma phira ke nehin bolta tha

So , the proposal was made and at a same time acceptance was accorded.👏⭐️😳

humm.. he proposed.. where he was sure shot going to be accepted..

What s reunion of baji , me just cried when roops saying the plight of baaji to naku. 😭

to me two best pairs of LTL were duji and AS and dutta.. and how could I FORGET the most lethal pair.. dutta and kala tai!👏

Dutta= the KISS ?????????? roops, r u mad ? don't u know ur dutta bhau ?? he is such a high esteemed man .😲 and dutta chocking up, literally, is much alike to then DSP of LTL.👏he is so much in love with naku; even follow her every gesture her reaction. What conversation she is having. Awww⭐️

haaahaaa.. tried to capture the silly stuff friends whisper about.. humm dutta aur kiss.. haat paker le ,even that would be some mammoth task.. in ltl.. he refrained from holding her hand in the beginning.. the progression was lovely.. when he just held on to her finger tips.. hardly ever interlocked fingers..these were the elements that made their love soul searching,rather than carnal...

Even without the "divine intervention", dsp in this ff, is so celestial, blissful. His bonding with toofan, hera and sona show this. Kajri is his gf. In the 1^st ch, I thought that there will not be naku but kajri as his wifey.lol.😆

this toofan.. has caused a full blown disruption in girlie hearts, the horse is a symbol of Dutta! once again cutie ,thanks for a great comment.. enjoyable read.. much love hammie.. hope mum has recovered fully..

Mishal Raheja

as Dutta

Follow the Heart

Part 21

Finale

Soon after during the drive home, Dutta tilted his head towards Baji and sided his eyes. Baji sensed his Bhau sought private discussion with him, as a matter of urgency. Slyly Baji, changed gear from fourth to the lowest and the jeep lurched and finally stalled!. As the two girls pulled faces, at the sudden halt of the jeep. Both Baji and Dutta got out , walked around the front of the jeep, raised the bonnet and held it up under the bonnet stick.. and both men stuck their heads underneath it. Dutta sided his deep set eyes towards Baji and disclosed

"tonight Baji , get hold of a supply of dynamite .. pick me up from this spot after midnight.. I plan to strike tonight, I have a hunch that I will be asked to prove my merit soon.." speculated Dutta firmly. Baji turned to his Bhau and asked whether he was being hasty? Dutta raised his palm and clarified to Baji..

"it's a good thing Naku ,picked this seafront Baji.Whilst we ate, I studied the area and also silently took in the details.. Nana ki launch boats I noted.. there were two of them.. Shiv ka Om ka nishan tha unpe.. like the one on his upper arm.. shaitan! Deva! ke nishan pe gunah kerta hai? I don't need to know , what the consignment is Baji.. but this much I know! that it has to be evil.. he fell out with babaa.. because he wanted to promote drug use in Patil Wadi.. and given the chance.. is zaher ko wo pure Ratna giri mein phela de ga! the devil has to be stopped Baji! and Dutta will do it! ab tu bata , tu mera saath hai ke nehin? Baji felt Dutta's arm and replied..

"Deva shapat! Baji , will be there tonight Bhau! you meet me on the road overlooking the granaryI'll pick you up.. pun Naku.. what about her Bhau? Dutta cranked his neck and spoke firmly and sternly

" first.. mujhe is Nana ka future plan foul kerne de.. Naku!.. she will be by my side in this fight, as my strength and my shield of protection! and with this elusive answer, he lowered the bonnet stick and Baji ,slammed the bonnet shut!

There was a rightly so, called for aloofness between Dutta and Naku. Dutta, was preoccupied with his own future moves, to spare a moment for Naku's mood. However when she turned up to serve him dinner, with a sour face, she verbalised, the reason for her annoyance, which Dutta knew about any way. She felt left out at being informed about his new job, with the everyone else! not exclusively by her Saab! Dutta was not amused by her childishness and narrowed it down to her insecurity.. something he usually plucked on. Her tears though as always, made him sensitive and melted his icy demeanour, and thus he assured her he would stand by her, till the end of time.. But he too became short with her inability to discern, that him accepting Nana and Kaido's job was something more than, money, fame and so on. He expected her to know, given the fact she knew him so well. Dutta, reckoned the usual way to calm his beloved down was to appeal to her unflinching trust in him. his anxiety was lessened as Naku like always gave in, and snuggled in the security of his arms. But it made him feel that night that he had to speed up matters, for his sake and hers. The days of taking life easy were over.. he had to follow his heart.. but then he wished Naku would somehow comprehend, that in his heart there were other issues also that he had inherited in his blood, through his father.. love, sense of justice ,that went farther than the self..

Naku was restless.. something was amiss. He avoided her, calmed her he did.. as a parent would do so to a child.. but why was her heart gripped by countless flutters. She stood before her life- long spiritual strength provider .. Bappa! silent prayers ,supplications were offered for the protection of her Saab.. for her , her Saab was every- thing, that mattered to her.. she desired only him! for he brought the joy of being belonged,something she thirsted for since the day she was born, but was denied.. he was family to her..her tears flowed and she begged Bappa.. to grant her Saab all that his whole being ventured for, perhaps other than herself!

Dutta was all ready to leave to meet Baji, on the road that over looked the granary. Before he departed from the lantern lit farm yard.. he sauntered over to Heera, Sona, and Toofan.. he felt their heads by his palm and requested..emphatically..

"tum teeno.. edhur Naku ka khayal rekhne.." and then he went over to his, barrack and checked on Kajri who slept coiled up in one of his kurta's on the end of his charpoy. Stealthily, shielded by the blanket of night, he made his way in silence to the granary, and then slowly descended the slight gradient where Baji waited for him in his jeep. Dutta turned to his friend and as expected Baji nodded in confirmation. Yes he had the powerful explosives, to be used for blasting the two launch boats. Both didn't speak, there was no need, Dutta and Baji were always harmonized, when it came to tackling tasks. Eventually they got to the spot where the boats were anchored on the edge of the seaside. Hardly any activity was about. The air smelt of salt and musty seaweed.The gentle crashing of the waves, assured that high tide was held at bay. Dutta, sided his head to Baji and, ordered,

"bring the dynamite and the detonator.. looks like I'll have to wade in to fix it under the helm of one boat.." Baji nodded and both men walked into the sea. Dutta led ahead, as he gripped a dynamite in one hand. His face was expressionless and cold, as his slender soles sunk first in the dry warm sand, then gradually he began to leave imprints in the moist sand. Stone faced, he soldiered on boldly ,purposefully ,silently. He, paused briefly, signalled with his arm to Baji to head for the other boat. Dutta neared the boat, his feet now immersed in water. Ankle deep he waded on, till he got to the launch.. he walked past the boat ,located the helm and crouched beside the targeted area. With his bottom lip tucked in, his fingers , carefully attached the dynamite securely to the rudder! Then he turned to Baji, and both figures in the dark, amidst the lulling sound of the waves, raised their arms and gave thumps up to each other!

Dutta then pointed towards the shore and both figures, waded back to the seashore.. and took cover behind some sharp black rocky boulders, that were being splashed by the gentle waves.. Dutta crouched and then held the detonator.. and said.. "om namash Shiva! and pressed a button! A huge explosion sounded! followed by a great ball of fire! that hurled bits of wood ,glass, splinters all over and above! Shortly another deafening explosion occurred and another expulsion of fire shot forth! The shore boomed! as both Dutta and Baji , crept back from behind the rocks! inclined their backs and run back to Baji's jeep! Baji had parked it in a getaway position before hand, hence before the half asleep running fishermen could spot them they drove off to a safe distance. Dutta turned his neck and observed the tongues of fire that mercilessly licked both the launch boats and all deadly consignment they contained blown up in a puff of smoke! Within minutes all that was left to be seen was the skeleton of the boats! surrounded by thick clouds of smoke! Furthermore explosives followed as the petrol tanks in the launches caught fire! The air was filled the rank ,pungent smoky burning smell! Dutta turned to Baji and thumped his shoulder with his palm, heaved and said

"mission accomplished! chal Baji, let's go.. I feel so clean inside! almost pure.. I am pleased, cleaned up some filth", said Dutta as he relaxed his back against the passenger seat of his bosom friend's jeep!

The brave lion returned to the barracks in Nana's farmyard.. to face the music!. It was a matter of time before the two scoundrels would receive the news that their heinous act has been punctured, rather blown away in a smouldering heap. Dutta had gathered by an unsuspectingly Kulte, that Nana Sahib's unholy associate, Kaido was still about ,and most likely to stay at Mandwa Nivas for a bit longer.

The moment arrived, sooner than later! Dutta tended to the cattle in the yard, as per usual. Rapidly sounds of bellows! and crashing happened inside the beithak.The occupants of the farmhouse, shuddered, as the house shook with furniture being hurled about, window glass being smashed! Dutta calmly stroked Heera and Sona on their heads and ran his palm calmly ,to assess the lethal sharpness of their pointed horns. Naku, prompted by the commotion, in a terrified condition, ran out of her room straight to the farmyard! Babi tried to stop her but to no avail. Instead Babi grabbed a machete herself! hid it under her thick cotton veil and slipped out into the courtyard too.. Babi, pulled Naku, dragged her behind the animal enclosures. Somehow Babi had predicted.. a battle! So her hunch came true, as the raging, belligerent Nana ,and his limping associate stepped out in the back farm yard with pistols! Volley of abuse on their lips! they hollered dangerously, daringly

" baher nikal! choohe! chup ke beitha hai! thujhe pata nehin main Nana Tavde hoon! puri ke puri Ratnagiri ka,baghwan! mere kher se koi nehin bacha aaj tak! Baher nikal Rishi dhoke baaz! darpok! mujhe sab pata chal gaya hai! mere maal aur launch tune bomb se urthe hain!.. mere aadmi tere peecha kar rehien thi!. mard ka bacha hai tu samne ah buzdil! bellowed Nana. Dutta slowly came out from behind Heera ,Sona's enclosure. Around his head was bound the striped piece of patka; gallantly he stood before his foes! his neck proud and upright; his deep set eyes pierced both the heinous men before him.Audaciously, his white pyjama legs parted slightly, with both arms held by his sides. He stared valiantly, and waited for his foe to continue with their accusations. Time ticked away dangerously as Dutta too likewise his foes stood still to note any dangerous moves. From Dutta's imposing figure none came, he appeared like a sheet of steel, that Nana was desperate to riddle with bullets. But Dutta just strafed his foes with a derisive scorn, brought about by his silence and his contracted lion like eyes . Nana snarled

"namak haram, kaun hai tu? wohi saacha, imandar, rishi Bhau.? kaun hai tu? Dutta pulled off his patka , run his fingers through his hair and pushed it back from his forehead ,and roared

" Nanaaa! main hoon tera baap! Nam hai Dutta Shri Ram Patil!!!.. kuch yaad aya? Patilvadi ke mukhiya ka beta!.. babba ko tu tune dafna diya! pun uska beta maut ka firishta pun ke , tera pran lene aya hoon! chal ab tu aur tera ye phattu Kaido, hatiyaar dalo! tum har gaya Nana Sahib! khud ko baghwan mante ho na! tu ab tu Shiv ke asli shakti dekh! and he walked forward intrepidly. Nana fired! The bullet missed Dutta! and he took another step forward to his foes! Kaido fired this time! and missed! Naku tried to run to Dutta. Babi pulled her behind the animal shed. The farmyard felt like a battle ground.The combat between virtue and vice ! right and wrong! justice and injustice! suppression and liberty was in the making! Nana fired a shot again and Dutta walked closer and closer like a man for whom, his life mattered not. His focus was on his target, who posed a threat to the land and the peoples he loved. With every step he took, Dutta invoked Shiva ji for his reverberating chaotic shakti! that destroyed evil with it's dance of power! and then out of destruction ! recreated goodness and order!

Both men further aimed bullets downwards, to deter Dutta's forward collected, calm gait. As usual, Nana and Kaido stood astounded to see for themselves, how bullets whizzed past Dutta and instead hit the walls or barracks in the farm yard. it was almost as if the gods ,themselves were the unseen defenders of Dutta Patil. Naku's patience broke and she escaped from Babi maa's motherly, arms! and boldly stood before Dutta's chest and spread her arms out! with a cry

"goli ab chalio tum dono! aagar kisi ke laash gare gi tu wo hogi mere! ,she screamed. But Nana couldn't kill his golden goose! Kaido couldn't kill his future young desirable wife! Dutta grabbed her arms and moved her out of the way roughly with a roar!

" what are you doing here Naku? chale peeche haat! and he moved her out of the way and stood before her protectively. Nana scoffed

"dekho tu sahi, bhaut yaraana lagta hai! and he leapt forward, dashed behind Dutta's imposing figure, grabbed Naku's arm and dragged her towards Kaido and yelled

"lagan tera aaj he hoga Kaido se! Kulte koi bhi pandit mile, le ke ah! koi mahurat nehin! hota wo hai ju Nana Tavde bole! and he fired shots up in the air!!! Naku turned her neck backwards and yelled Saab! Saab!.. Dutta, slowly put two fingers in his mouth and whistled! .. and within the next few seconds..the skies rumbled, lightening flashed blindly across the firmament and the world shook as the clap of approaching thunder, dumbstruck humans in the farmyard. But for the beasts of burden, their master's whistle command was the sound of the bugle to attack! Rearing to go there ensued a loud thunderous noise of stamping then a snapping! followed by metal being dragged.. as the bulls, charged full speed ! The ground shook below! and above the skies flashed blades of fire! The bulls eyes pictured Nana in the pupils of their eyes! Nana harming Dutta was like a red rag! and Heera dementedly rammed into Nana's gut headlong! The impact hurled Nana to the ground!. Dutta watched with pride, as Heera banged one of it's front hooves upon Nana's chest, turned it's face onto Nana's, then with a vicious jerk! Heera slashed Nana, face with it's lethal sharp horn!. Naku pressed her mouth to stop a scream. Dutta, moved forward, grabbed her arm, just above her wrist and roared to the felled ,wounded Nana!

"pyar kerta hoon Naku se! laagan hoga iska Kaido se nehin! mere saath! tu dekh Nana tere ankhoon ke samna se Naku ko tere qaid se chotkara dilya ga ye Dutta! and once more Dutta whistled. The fully saddled magnificent black stallion Toofan trotted over majestically, and stood obediently by Dutta and Naku's side. Dutta, stretched his arm, patted Toofan's neck with approval and held Toofan's reins and yelled challengingly at the floored Nana, but still standing Kaido! and dared

"abhi tum roko ke dekhao sahi"?

Nana pointed his gun at Dutta! his finger on the trigger. Heera snorted and charged once again at Nana on the ground. Heera jerked him with a head butt again! then pressed Nana's chest down, this time with two of his heavy powerful hooves. Furiously he lunged his horn straight into Nana's sternum and punctured his heart, in one swift stab! Nana's mouth and nostrils squirted blood! his arms stretched across the farmyard floor. His palm went limp, as the gun dropped on the ground. Nana breathed his last with a loud ahhh!! his arms on the ground fell loose and his gradually his head flopped to one side, his eye fixed upon Dutta's face... a wild wind howled and lightening flashed across the skies, as Dutta looked up to the skies and chanted ,om namash Shiva!

Naku turned to her Saab and hugged him, her tears flowed with joy. Dutta lifted her up and helped her to mount Toofan.. a storm was in the making... Dutta swung his long leg, threw it across Toofan's back! and sat up right, ready to grab the reins. But his other adversary Kaido, still hankered for Dutta's love.

Kaido looked at the slain Nana lying in a pool of blood. The bulls, stood menacingly, and scratched and sharpened their hooves on the ground. Fearsome Kaido walked around them, twitched his jaw, over his dead body if he allows this Dutta ride off with his future wife! Slyly he limped forward ,as Dutta on the horse buried his nose in the side of Naku's long porcelain neck. Suddenly Naku screamed ,as Kaido held on to her lowered leg at the side of Toofan!..Saab!! she screamed, Dutta turned his face and looked down at Kaido, with his face contracted with rage. Dutta's eyes, flashed down on Kaido's face, his eyebrows arched, and his mouth pulled down to his chin!

"tere ye majal Kaido, tu Naku ko choia! haat! and he thumped the old man on the back of his neck, with a punch! and the feeble old man let go of Naku's leg! and Naku yelled,

"Saab don't let him be, isne , meri izzat pe haat dalne ke khoish ki jab aap jungle mein the! Dutta roared bas!! and dragged himself off the horse, walked slowly toward's Kaido, who pulled a gun out at him! Dutta curved his right arm, bit his lower lip and swung powerful punch at Kaido's face, with such force that Kaido's whole head reverberated! he fell backwards on the ground in a heap! His gun knocked out of his way! Dutta walked closer, stood over him, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up! glared into his eyes and head butted him! Kaido's whole body quivered as he tried to balance on his one leg! Dutta shook him violently and spewed in his face

"aab tu ek paer se mazoor hai bhoode! tu samjhe le.. Dutta tere pe aur zaoor azmai nehin kare ge! and he spurned Kaido like a bag of rubbish on the ground.. the old man groaned... and Dutta walked towards his steed ,where his love waited.. and mounted the horse again and began to trot off... before Kaido's very eyes. Kaido stretched his arm, expanded his finger, got hold of his pistol and aimed at Dutta's head!

Sona charged at the bag of bones on the ground and kicked his sides with it's legs and head butted Kaido's side and back! Then in complete fury , Sona backed off a bit to muster speed, then charged head first ,it's horns pointed to Kaido's back! and stabbed him with such force that the points of Sona's horns poked out of the Kaido's belly! Kaido let out the sound of death! hayeee! and all of him was dead expect his eyes set on Naku's face.. as he saw Dutta's horse pranced away, then gradually picked up speed before his very eyes... Nakushaaa... he groaned and then closed his eyes forever!

Toofan galloped away with the two lovers. The heavens opened and blessing rained upon them from the gods and goddess. Dutta, leaned forward on Naku as he held the reins in his wet palms. Naku looked up at the grey sheets of pouring rain, raised her palms and yelled

Saab! main azzad ho gaye! and Dutta squeezed her waist and replied

" not really , ab tu mere girifat mein hain.. life imprisonment! and Naku threw her wet head back affectionately and replied

"justice is fully done Saab! Naku ko ye saazza manzoor hai"! and they both threw back their faces as they rode on Toofan! The rain washed away all their trials and sorrows.. Dutta dug his heels in Toofan's sides and he galloped speedily, jumped over hedges and landed on the ground again. Dutta , raised his bottom and swerved as they both eventually reached the road . Toofan cantered and galloped, without a pause. The downpour stopped and everything shone even in the dark, the road, the foliage. Dutta whispered lovingly against Naku's wet cheek, and her drenched tendrils of hair

"Aye Sahib ke ghar , jana hoga! ,Dutta said firmly. Naku nodded silently , she wouldn't argue.. with him she would go any where...

As expected Aye Sahib and Baji greeted the drenched couple with open arms and embraces. Baji beamed with pride, his Bhau had proved his mettle.. in emancipating the down trodden that choked under the yolk of two evil man. Bhau had also , granted Naku her freedom from the likes of abusing relatives. Dutta , though was preoccupied. He made it known he had come to drop Naku at Aye Sahib's place... there were precious animals that had to be collected yet, from Nana's farmhouse. On the double! Baji, tied Toofan in his stables, and got his animal transporter truck. Before day break, Dutta broke into Mandwa nivas's farmhouse. The farm yard was a blood splattered. Heera and Sona, sat before their sheds, weeping and looked totally abandoned. Dutta ran and crouched to their level , wiped their tears , from their jet black eyes.. and both him and Baji ,loaded his precious oxen, Nana's sheep and goats in the huge animal transporter. Dutta in panic looked for the love of his life.. Kajri sat hidden under his charpoy, and he bent and reached out for her carefully.. and showered her head with kisses, bundled her in his lap as he sat in the passenger seat. As they prepared to leave.. Dutta looked at the two bodies of Nana and Kaido.. and compassion hit him. He, expressed to Baji..they needed a burial and one had to be arranged. They have died a dog's death, but needed a human cremation! He looked around with interest and was not entirely surprised that Nana's BG's had all ran away..so Kulte lived with Nana only out of fear, not loyalty... what a pity ,the wicked have no loyalists, only opportunists! mused Dutta.

They stopped at the local mandir, gave the pandit money for the cremation of Nana and Kaido. The holy man, blessed Dutta for bringing glad tidings that the shaitaans of the area had been slain by him! The next stop Dutta took was at Ramnagar. The villagers were overjoyed to see their Rishi Bhau!. Dutta brought the village elders and a few young men to the back of the transporter, and released the back flap.. and told the villagers, consider the goats and the sheep a gift from the gods!.. Baji lowered the ramp and out cluttered down the sheep and goats from Nana's farmhouse.. now over to a new home. The villager elders blessed their Rishi Bhau for his unbounding goodness! Before Dutta alighted the transporter, he waved his arm out of the fully opened window and revealed to them..

"mera asli nam Dutta shri Ram Patil!.. shri Ram Patil ka chotta beta! , they joined their palms and raised them above their heads and chanted, Dutta Bhau! Dutta Bhau!. firishta! ho tum!

During the journey back to Baji's place, Dutta was silent.. Baji realized what Dutta might be plagued by.. but first things first.. his Bhau had a packed day , at times, somewhat full of trauma, but with a happy ending. Baji would remind him of that, and turned his transporter towards his Patil Vadi .Once in the village, Baji drove by the main muddy track, Dutta cranked his neck and looked across to his favoured haunt.. the thela! Gradually, as Baji drove past, Dutta's glazed eyes nostalgically ran past the fence.. which stood between his people's and Naku's.. and it still stood upright.. a division between two villages ,two peoples ,who were really the same!

Baji halted the jeep, turned to Dutta who had already dropped off in his seat! his head hung low , his chin rested on Kajri's head. Baji helped Dutta out of the transporter.. and took him straight to the guest room, took his Bhau's shoes off and covered him with a muslin sheet.. Kajri refused to budge and sank on top of Dutta's sided one atop the other feet!. Heera and Sona were unloaded and tied in the animal enclosure of his haveli . Before Baji finally retired ,he peeped into Aye Sahib's room.. Naku slept with his mother and looked ever so peaceful! and Baji ,as her self- appointed brother smiled, with tears in eyes.

Next day Baji , went to see Daksha , and Dutta's brothers and provided them with an update of the past days events. He even suggested, Dutta would get a lift if his Bhau visited him at Baji's place.. yes after all blood was thicker than water. Dutta's brothers came over to visit Dutta.. the best bit was they blessed Naku and ordered Dutta in no uncertain words, that the mahurat for his marriage needed to be set by the pandit ,asap! Aye Sahib desired, that it should be a double wedding! both Dutta and Baji's. So Dutta and Aye Sahib, as Baji wished for, went to tailor master's house and asked for Roops hand in marriage for Baji! the answer was yes all the way from Roops!

The double marriages were a simple affair.. the grandness of the weddings was the inclusion of all the goan walas of Patil wadi and Ramnagar! Another feature was, that Dutta's lagan ceremony was held at Baji's house.. Shukantla devi, was the revered elder in Dutta's life... and Baji's lagan was solemnized in Patil Nivas, to celebrate Duji's unconditional friendship! and Dutta's eldest Bhau Kamde would be the revered elder.. Naku's kaniyadan was done by her beloved Babi maa!..but before the above features actually came about, it was obligatory for groom Dutta to get rid of his shoulder length wavy hair.. and sort his over grown beard into a well contoured and groomed stubble!

The lagan rites proceeded, the grooms and brides, made their oaths to each other, observed full rituals, sought blessings from elders. Now the nuptial nights for Dutta and Baji were significant in their own way. For Baji, Roops was full of tom foolery the whole night! and Baji sat scratching the back of his head! As for Dutta and Naku.. all night they sat before each other; held each other's hands and gazed into each other's eyes.. the song of silence between them sang of their eternal love, and some where a bansuri played.. they smiled at each other.. the bansuri notes , probably connected two hearts... elsewhere..

Epilogue

Soon after, Dutta met with his brothers he suggested to Kamde the village mukhaiya to call upon a panchayat.. where Kamde as mukhaiya should announce that the dividing fence between the two warring villages should be removed! The enmity had ended with the death of Nana ! Dutta announced the implications.. that all lands confiscated by Nana, stood invalid as of now! and a thing of the past! farmers were their own bosses from now on! great cheers and celebrations were sounded from the lips of the denied masses. Somehow, they attributed heroism to Dutta shri Ram Patil ,rather than Kamde their headman..

Dutta declared that Nana's huge hivali on the other side where the fence stood , would be converted into a free rest house for devotes travelling to adjoining mandir in the area. Likewise Nana Tavde's farmhouse ,Mandwa nivas, would also be converted into a dharamshala under the supervision of Babi maa. People chanted Dutta Bhau! and he emerged elevated in the villagers eyes . But Dutta had no desire to be the mukhiya.. he hankered to be the people's person, who lived with ordinary people He assured people, he would be around, working alongside everybody who needed him!. However the hardest thing that Dutta experienced was to explain to his Bhau's and their wives, that he and Naku wouldn't be living at PN! That he had decided he would renounce his previous, affluent life style , as it clashed with his aim to live life the way hardworking fellow farmers lived. As expected his brothers were devastated, and boiled it down to the fact, that Dutta hadn't forgiven them for their past actions against him.. Dutta ,was very honest and explained, he had taken life easy for long enough, now he wanted to provide and fend for his family on his own. He clarified with his Bhaus that he would cultivate a piece of land in the agricultural belt ,and live like a farmer, alongside the farming community! Heera , Sona ,Toofan and Kajri of course he would keep on his farm! as they were like his family members.

Shortly Dutta became an uncle! as Daksha gave birth to a baby boy that the family named Ram. Bela and Abha, sadly never conceived. They felt the gods had punished them, for deceiving their own family.. they would often share this sorrow with Dutta.. This hurt both Dutta and Naku.. and when Naku gave birth to twin boys, Luv, Kush! both decided that they would give their babies one each to Bela and Abha.. For Naku it was hard at first, but then she reasoned.. the children would be raised in the same family .. have the same name as her and her Saab! For this act of nobility, the family was not only in awe of their gesture , but also revered Dutta and Naku forever.. Naku would tease her Saab.. life is about thinking past one's own nose.. yes life was the joy of sharing happiness!.

Dutta and Naku lived happily on their farm land, cultivating sugar cane, barley, wheat. They were an vital part of the farmers and their, small unassuming mud houses! Their days were spent with Ram , Luv and Kush! but Dutta badgered Naku at every opportunity for a daughter!!. After much resistance, hue and cry Naku gave in ! and Bappa blessed them with a pretty green eyed, Naku look alike daughter!.. they named her Parvati! But the family called her Paro for short!.. Paro was the centre of attraction of her three brothers, a proper princess who wormed out of carrying out all work! in short, Paro was bone idle and bindas! from the day she was born. Dutta was less of a father and more of putty in her hands. He let her get away with a lot! when Naku told both father and daughter off! Dutta would narrow his eyes, tilt his head and say to Naku, tongue in cheek..

"beti baap pe gaye hai.. give her time, she'll learn when she follows her heart.. like I did Naku... and got the whole universe.. Hamlet53 ~ 3.7.15
