Part 7
His vague brief statement took her by no surprise.Yet stupidly her jaw dropped.. Dutta snapped his fingers in her face to awaken her from her trance. Seema was around and he assumed Naku sensed some threat from her.. but of what? mused Dutta. Had he not clarified to her before his inclinations towards Seema. Why does she need assurance again. Dutta slowly lowered his arm and pulled his mouth to one side and returned her searching look with a tender look. Naku caught his gaze, blushed and hooded her green eyes. Dutta doubled his stubble chin much relieved, and mused, good at least she has stopped her emotional rattling. Seema in the meanwhile, moved her eyes from one face to the other. She smiled and suggested to Dutta as she grabbed his arm
"don't be such a coward Dutta! if you like the girl ,why don't you tell her! for goodness sake! Her words stunned Naku and she mumbled half mortified
"it's not how it looks Seema..erhh.. Sahib, usually pops by to check if things are fine with me in terms of security"
"look Seema.. I wasn't going to pop by at all! it was your idea to stop by.. remember? replied Dutta curtly ,as he glared angrily at Naku too. He had expected her to acknowledge their relationship ,but she palmed it off to security checks! miffed, he turned his face the other way and stared in space. The truth was that he was not accustomed to going around in circles! or held under a scanner! that too about such a personal relationship too ! Seema realized her idiocy and laughed
"let's not go into the who's idea Dutta! like I said you need to get your act together and make your true intentions known to Naku!
"don't you tell me what to do and what not to! you Seema of all the people should know by now! that Dutta doesn't take orders from any one! raged Dutta . Naku raised her palms
"just relax Sahib.. from my side I respect your stance that you don't rush into things. that you don't say things for the sake of situation, but you withhold till is meaningful and heart felt.. " added Naku supporting her Sahib. Dutta appreciated the backing she offered. He looked at Seema and went on dryly
"right! Seema! you had your chit chat! now buy what you have to! and better leave.. your father must be expecting you back"
"yes Seema ,Sahib is right.. if you want to buy anything now, just speak your requirement and I'll show you what we have.. if not then why don't you pop by again.. maybe tomorrow ? I'll have fresh stock too.." suggested Naku. Seema was quick to remind her though.
" Naku you know , my babaa will not allow me out on my own.." and she turned her eyes towards Dutta's face expectantly..
"nope don't involve me please! I do have a job that I do! in case you haven't noticed! I cannot be tied down to you Seema! protested Dutta and she folded her hands and begged. He brushed his palm and gave in
"ok Seema tell you what! I'll have a word with babba Tavde and assure him this place is safe and monitored by me.. hence to allow you to be dropped and picked by your own driver.. now Seema get a move on! and he gave Naku a fleeting look, blinked his eyes and left the shop, stiffly. Packed Seema into the jeep and drove off.. Naku watched his jeep as it turned the corner..
~~~~~~~~~
Kala and Baji both tended to their mother who seemed much better than before. Kala lovingly fixed her mother's sari and held her mother's face and planted a kiss on her cheek ,as Baji helped her off her bed and sat her in the armchair in the room. He pushed the footstool under her feet and squeezed her feet gently and looked at Kala
"have to say Tai .. Aye's recovery has to be attributed to Dutta.. things could have taken a turn for the worse but he averted the storm from happening! he has to be this house's real son Aye! he left his own shocked grief on one side, and only came back because he cared for you! pleaded Baji
"not for Aye Sahib alone Baji, for us! for this family.. I have realized my folly.. my spirit is restless that I have to further correct matters.. tell me Aye Sahib more about his real mother.." probed Kala
"Kala .. Baji, I will let all be known, but when the time is right.. and I feel right within myself too" replied Aye Sahib weakly as she mopped her brow. Kala accepted her mother's brief and added on further to redress her recent blunders.
"ohh seeing that both you and Baji are here. I would like to clarify that I am happy for Dutta to hold the power of attorney .. by contesting it , I caused a lot of grief to Dutta.. more so churned up a wave of negative sentiments in him for myself.. that hurts Aye Sahib.. in my capacity as his older sister , I want to strive for the revival of the same love that me and Dutta enjoyed.. explained Kala
"look children! it's useful to hear that you have supported that, which I had decided in the first place. We had thought out carefully, before we made or will.. I could see that out of you my three children, Dutta was the most vulnerable ..for obvious reasons. I wanted to prove to you ,to him ,and to my god that money is not bigger than the decision that your babba and me took when we adopted Dutta.. "Shakuntala explained to her children
" hope Dutta returns home swiftly after dropping Seema home.. by the way Aye Sahib.. you should have asked me to drop her.. hope you are not having other ideas in your mind Aye?. asked Baji cautiously
"no Baji! Aye Sahib can't think what you fear? beside I think it's a not a good idea at all", added Kala
"what are you two prattling about? demanded Aye
"off getting Dutta fixed up with Seema! Aye! blurted Baji and his mother fell silent as Kala chipped in
"no Baji.. Aye will not consider Seema with Dutta as Aye Sahib.. as far as I saw yesterday. Dutta has feelings for Nakusha.. but I suggest first confirm with him, and then don't leave it dangling about in the air.. we all need to push for something formal between him and Naku.. but also ask him Aye" ,pressed Kala
"Kala it's alright for you. The name Nakusha has a face for you. But me she's just a vision.. I need to meet her Kala", requested Aye Sahib. Baji rubbed his hands and exclaimed
"that can be arranged Aye! call her to tea and order Dutta to bring her! and I'll look after the shop with Roops! . Aye Sahib nodded and slapped Baji's head lightly on the head
"and who is this Roops? you never mentioned her before.. " she turned to Kala and asked
"you know anything about this Kala? whose Roops??asked their mother
"AyeSahib she's Nakusha's friend and they are part owners of the shop".. Kala confirmed with Baji with a vigorous nod " They both the girl run together the shop together. Baji came across her there and after meeting her she seems like a wellgrounded girl, Aye.. yes.. Kala admitted
"now I'll have to see when it's when it's convenient .." said Aye and then said dreamily .."will wait for Dutta to return.. hope he comes back soon..
~~~~~~
There wasn't much to do at the office and Bashkar, Babloo his boss, ordered Dutta to do the area rounds instead of returning to office work back at the security centre. Dutta smiled , as it seemed to him that the heavenly deities pushed him to where he needed to be. He accepted ,there were certain matters that needed to be ironed out. Somehow he sensed that she too would want him to continue where he left off when he had to leave to drop Seema.
In anticipation he pushed opened the door inwards and was filled with a gush of flower fragrance. His keen eyes in one look were greeted by a myriad of colourful flowers. Krishna spotted him and teased
"and how may I help you sir? flowers? real or fake? indoor of outdoor plants? please sir! let me show you around! he grabbed Dutta's palm and Dutta affectionately wrapped his arm lightly around the boy's shoulder and called out to Roops
" apart from sales.. I hope this prat! is getting down to his books as well Roops?, she waved at Dutta but before she could reply, Krishna tugged at his arm and protested..
"some imaginary babaa you are Dutta Bhau! have you got time to spare for me? to check out my progress?
"look I can hear your argumentative command over talking back.. is progressing in leaps and bounds! He boxed Krishna's ear lightly
"he is right Sahib! you never have the time for him.. make some time! interrupted Naku as she entered the shop floor with a shallow wicker basket of fresh jasmine flowers. Dutta looked across at her .. fresh ,young ,simple and radiant she looked in her two toned muslin white and lemon fitted shirt and white churridar pyjama.. His deep set eyes lingered on her sheer white muslin churridar sleeves .. that partly showed off her creamy arms. Dutta smiled.. she dressed modestly yet with subtle hints to her beauty too.. pure femininity.. his eyes lingered and she blushed ,profusely.. heavens! Dutta mused , one look at her and he's thrown off course.. he pouted his mouth innocently and submitted..
"guilty! yes it's true I never can make time for Krishna.. and what about yourself? do I give you enough time? , he suddenly asked. His words startled her.. yes they were nice to hear ,but such spontaneity nearly struck her down with embarrassment.
"Sahib.. what can I say" .. she fumbled as she twisted the end of her sheer lemon chunni
"look Naku, don't say anything. .and you Krishna! grab your satchel! we're going for a picnic in the local park".. announced Dutta and then looked at Roops..
"Roops .. for you I'll call my brother Baji.. he can assist you in running the shop.. and you Naku.. pack some finger food..if you have any at hand, otherwise we can always buy some from the local vendors.. erhh except .. I am not keen on eating out.. prefer home cooking any time.." explained Dutta apologetically
"don't you worry Sahib we have home cooked finger foods..sev with cornflakes, namak paras and shaker paras.. onion bahjis ,spring rolls.. paneer puri roll..".. rattled off Naku and Dutta raised his palm
"enough! stop! good.. erhh.. tea, normal not black.. in a flask?.. Naku nodded and retired into the kitchen to pack the picnic.. Dutta pulled out his phone
" where are you Baji?.. great! so you are at home.. fancy doing something useful.. and I daresay worthwhile?
"Bhau.. what could be more rewarding than serving Aye Sahib! not like you ,doing god knows what outside? we are waiting for your highness's return.. look Bhau don't keep Aye waitng for too long.. she is frail.." replied Baji
"oyeee just shut up! I know you.. you must have something up your sleeve! that! I shall leave for another time.. meanwhile you are needed at the flower shop.. I am taking Krishna and Naku for a picnic in the local park.. I want you drive down right now ,before we leave and give support to Roops...now if you can't do it? then I'll abandon my plan and return home.. " before he finished Baji yelled
" coming Bhau! I'll be there in no time!.. and Dutta caressed the indent in his stubble chin.. with a sly smile and said to Roops...
"yes Roops.. Baji is on his way don't let him take over..put your foot down if needs be.., chuckled Dutta..
Baji arrived in no time and Roops had words with him..telling him exactly who was in charge..
~~~~~~~
Dutta helped Naku out of the jeep at the local park.. and Krishna grabbed his satchel and the picnic bag.. Naku looked across the park.. patchy grass, surrounded with a variety of trees ,bushes and shrubbery.. here and there their neatly sculptured beds and circles boasted a host of colourful flowers.. pestered by greedy bees after their nectar! The light breeze swayed the leaves on trees and shrubs and the delicate stalks of flowers rocked about and offered the park visitors a sense of buoyancy of spirits.. Elderly couples sat on the wooden benches around the edges of the grassy borders of the park. They gave a warm sense of continuity and Dutta murmured to Naku as they looked for a clean grassy path..
"pains me to see Naku that my parents never got to that stage... foster or real both.. life can be so cruel.." Dutta said as they walked side by side.Her shoulder brushed against his upper arm occasionally. At his words she cranked her neck up and tried to catch his attention
"yes.. Sahib sad.. but I too never saw my parents grow old together.. and I daresay Krishna too is in the same boat.. so let's draw strength from each other..
"you mean grow old together Naku?..reflected Dutta and she became tongue tied again and swiftly identified a green spot and pointed to it.. Krishna dumped the basket.. and fell flat on the grass and felt the lukewarm blades and churlishly grabbed bunches and pulled fistfuls of grass and let it drop again, like a child! he clearly was happy
"Krishna stop it! you'll get your fingertips covered in soil! the food is to be eaten by hands.. dirty boy! reprimanded Dutta.. Krishna sat up and begged for food as he turned his head and looked around.. at the outdoor play equipment..
"Tai.. quick some food please! I want to go on the obstacle course " he, demanded affectionately.. Naku unpacked and arranged the containers on the bed of grass,. Dutta watched her tenderly.. as he waved away flies that buzzed around the sweet meats. She offered the container of paneer roll to Dutta and he smiled and palmed towards Krishna..
"I am happy to wait Naku.. feed this greedy glut first! and Krishna got up from his place and locked his arms around Dutta's shoulders and literally planted a kiss on Dutta's stubble as his whole cross legged body swayed to one side..
"oyeee . let go off me! Krishna sit down and eat first,, than go and play on the equipment!
"really Dutta Bhau? will do like a good boy! but promise me after I go and play.. you'll keep my Tai.. happy!she's special to me Bhau! she's the hand that feeds me! chomped Krishna as he went through his second spring roll!.. and jumped up and sprinted away to the obstacle course. Dutta picked at food and was about to eat as he stopped his cheese roll from entering his mouth.. he looked at her.. she stared at him with her green eyes.. and he flared his nostrils slightly and protested
" will you stop staring at me and eat woman! so I can eat as well"..she giggled and replied..
" Sahib.. eat..yourself.. first! I haven't held your hand have I ? he rolled his eyes and brought the roll closer to his gaping mouth .. as he saw she pinched a bit of sev and flung it back into her parted mouth.. Dutta took a giant bite out of his roll and munched away..
"delicious.. Naku.. my kind of food, mildly spicy, right amount of salt and chilli.., on top of it the more I eat,the more I want.." he admitted shyly. Naku too ate joyously.. how lucky she was to feed him food cooked by her hand..
" Naku.. sometimes I think .. did my own Aye.. cook delicious tasty food like yours? I'll never find out will I Naku? all I got to find out that she was some... ". and he put down his half bitten roll..
"I have lost my appetite Naku.. no offence.. you understand don't you? he pleaded with his deep set saddened eyes. She leaned over, stretched her arm and placed her palm on his hand..
"I understand Sahib.. it's not an easy thing to come to terms with...The spirit groans.. mine did.. Sahib, when I was plucked out of the orphanage ..and hurled into the arms of an unholy greedy couple.. they took me to their house.. locked me up in a room.. and..
"how old were you Naku when you were taken away by this couple?
"seven or eight.. I think.. had such a miserable time even at the orphanage bullied by older children.. I remember Sahib.. I would sit plastered against a damp painted chipped wall.. the damp would seep into my lungs.. and I remember being constantly ill.. coughing my lungs out.. it was so cold in the orphanage Sahib.. my body often turned cold and tingly. I prayed to Bappa for salvation from that place.. it happened..but it was from the frying pan into the fire Sahib! she cried as she hugged her shoulders.. with both her arms. An insecure sight!.
Dutta put his palm over her hand.. that which already rested on one of his hands.. and encouraged her
" let it all out Naku! tell Dutta how it was? I want to hear it all!.. he asked fervently
"they locked me in the room Sahib.. it was a sole room on the terrace.. the ground floor had a large black and white tiled floor.. I recall once I peeped over from the railing outside my room.. there was a low divan with a tabla and harmonium. I was given food, which I refused initially.. but then you know Sahib, Naku didn't consider ending her life by starving my gut" Dutta caressed the top of her smooth hand
"humm, Naku, I don't think you are the loser kind.. you have a survival streak. Tell me more, I am listening".. she hooked her eyes with his, but then looked down at his hand that caressed her hand.. and he stopped suddenly, moved his palm upon his knee. She bit her lip, she had embarrassed him..
"..so I ate my meals and complied. Stayed locked up in the room, didn't fuss. The woman seemed to soften on me.. but, I'd hear her screams whenever her husband turned violent, which was occasional but then frequent. Sahib.. she sided with me ,and her husband wanted her to realize that my being fostered had nothing to do with feeding her maternal instincts.." Naku paused and looked across Dutta who sat facing her..
"Saab, shall we take a walk.. I feel restless." She knew he would understand and thus he hauled himself up and offered her his hand.. Naku took it and wanted to hold it till eternity.. but she had to let go, to walk beside him on the narrow winding concrete path in the park. Their hands brushed gently.. as they hung loosely by their sides. A cyclist approached and Dutta moved her to one side out of the way.. and then resumed their walk.
"go on Naku.. what happened next? he asked
"one day they brought some fancy clothes.. ghagra choli.. lots of costume jewellery. I remember she dressed me up.. and finally pinned a heavily embellished chunni on my head.. I remember she stood behind me before the cracked old make shift dresser mirror.. and had said.. "one day you'll make a lovely bride".. Then there was a knock on the door Sahib.. it was her husband , he had yelled
"the buyers are here bring the commodity! Naku cried and tottered a bit and walked off the road to a nearby tree. She faced the tree trunk , and hid her face in her palms. Dutta too veered off the road toward's her back and stood right behind her. He heard her muffled sobs and his heart melted. Perhaps he shouldn't have pried into her past.. but he wanted to know more about her.. still do. She mattered to him. Slowly he raised his arms and gently rested his palms on her shoulders. She raised her head up, as he slowly turned her around and gazed into her crying green eyes..and wiped away a shiny teardrop from her flushed cheek with his slender fingertip. Naku gulped, and then opened her mouth to continue. He raised his palm before her face and explained
"you don't have to tell me any more Naku.. if it upsets you and opens up old wounds.."
"but I do want to tell you Sahib! so you can see Naku never had it easy too, and you were not the only one hard done by life.. anyway Sahib.. yes I was taken down before strange men.. they looked at me as if I was some animal for sale! She cried and Dutta's face twisted with pain too. as Naku continued
"Saab I knew danger was around and asked to go to the toilet.. I remember he allowed me to go and asked his wife to accompany me and bring me back.. outside the toilet , she kissed my face, my head and said as a matter of urgency as she pressed some money in my palm
"go child! run as fast as you can! and may Bappa! be with you ! then Sahib she set me free! and Naku laughed! andcried simultaneously.To see her over the horrendous narration.. Dutta let himself go too.. and allowed his arms to go around her. She settled snuggly against his hairy chest and he twisted his arm and smoothed the hair at the back of her head. As if she realized the closeness, she gently pulled her head away, sided her head and stared vacantly..
" I ran and ran Sahib..till I got to the narrow lanes of a village. sat on the low steps of a door step...fell asleep only to be woken up by a girl few years younger then I was. They were godly people.. the girl befriended me and I became part of her small family that comprised of an elderly couple and a little girl. Soon the elderly couple died and left everything to me and the little girl.. do you know who the little girl was Sahib? asked Naku. Dutta innocently shook his head. Although he had a rough idea who she might be? but he wanted her rose bud mouth to move, as his ears desired to hear her sweet voice.
"Sahib! that girl is Roops!!.. now the elderly folks were her grandparents who brought her up after the death of her parents who drowned in a freak accident. Roops and I supported each other through thick and thin.. got basic education.. completed a small business diploma. Her grandparents were generous and charitable people. that's why Sahib, during their life time.. they divided their property and bequeathed their house to both Roops and me.." Dutta nodded and then asked
"so what have you done with the property Naku?
"Sahib.. both myself and Roops have retained it.. and rented it out to an old widow.. she looks after the house well, and treats it like her own.. spends her time giving home tuition to poor deprived children in the area.." explained Naku.. Dutta nodded and Naku looked him in the face searchingly
"now Sahib.. you know about my life..it's not been easy has it?
"must admit that you did have a rough start Naku.. that I didn't.. but now at this stage in life I feel betrayed because my foster family withheld certain important facts from me.. I have a right to know about my mother Naku! and I will not rest till I find out Naku! you watch! he yelled as he dropped his arms off her back and shoulders and walked away from her. Folded his arms against his chest, stood defiantly distantly with his back to her. Naku moved away from the tree trunk and came around and stood beside his side.
"Sahib.. I am with you. you do have a right to know about your real mother. But it's your own family that can help you.. Sahib talk to Aye Sahib.. she loves you and as far I can see you too love her. I am sure your happiness is prime for her.. and she will do anything to see you happy ",said Naku as she felt his folded arm. Dutta sided his head and looked into her green doe eyes.. Seema had said he should let her know how he felt for him.. he loosened his arm and brought it around to feel a stray tendril of hair from her cheek. His deep set eyes stayed fixed upon her face. He parted his lips and said
" want to take you home to meet my Aye Sahib Naku.. you'll come.. won't you? Naku blushed and immediately lowered her eyes and mused.. was this his way of saying that he likes me? Dutta turned around and slowly ,faced her and asked
" what is taking you so long to say a simple yes! Naku?
Miffed he turned again and walked off in a huff! knew she would reject me after knowing about my life! it's a good thing I didn't say anything else! Seema can keep her stupid advice to herself! he rattled in silence. Naku ran and caught up with him and whispered..
"shall I assume that you..?
"yes Naku I like you!.. mumbled Dutta and then walked off to the side of his parked jeep.. and looked in Krishna's direction, called him back with his palm. Dutta felt her eyes poked into his back. He slanted his head, cranked it backwards and gutturally said.
"need I say more, Naku?.. she giggled and gave his profile a loving look and replied bashfully
"no Sahib.. I know what you mean.." Dutta nodded twice and turned to face her.. ambled towards her, raised his arms and pressed his wide palms on her shoulders
" well then! you and Krishna better get your act together and lets' get back to the shop..
~~~~~~~
Baji supported Roops in the best possible way. He was well aware she was the expert at the goods, and was also the one who recognized usual customers, so he helped in the best possible way. He used the till efficiently ,but once or twice short changed the customers and then to his aid flew Roops ,the girl wonder! Roops took over..
"look Baji don't know why you are so scatty.. but you have to ensure correct change is handed back.. here let me take over! Baji did and watched Roops with a smile
" have to say Roops you are a pro in handling cash! what have you been doing in the past to develop this skill?
"heyee Baji rao ! nothing grand.. just selling fresh flowers, paying attention to the fact that I don't diddle people and ensuring I get my correct dues! I guess in every job one has to be vigilant when earning a living.. especially ones that deals directly with the public..the swiftness shown in doing a transaction to save time, creates moments where mistakes can happen Baji.." replied Roops as she dealt with a customer, and with a twinkle in her eyes she added
"beside Baji rao ,what better way to do simple arithmetic. and apply maths.. maybe myself and Naku should encourage Krishna to use the till he'll learn maths on the job". Baji sniggered as he winked at Roops
"you have a warm streak in your nature.. it's odd how two people.. like you and Naku ,work so amicably. Roops"
" oh it's because we think alike on many issues, too Baji rao, like looking out for serving the community around us.. we sell flowers.. our manner has to be to warm people's hearts" , reflected Roops.. but then she added
"pity Dutta Bhau is going through a family crisis himself Baji.. Naku shared it with me. Thing is Baji I am concerned about Naku. as you are anxious about Dutta Bhau.. we should push them together into forming a more substantial closeness, what do you say Baji rao?.. Baji flashed his winning smile with a suggestion
"good thinking Roops!! but give this humble servant of yours some thought too! how about you and me ? Krishna who suddenly barged into the shop after his return from the picnic outing, yelled from the door way
"you got my vote Baji bhau! my Tai Roops! is the perfect match for you! Krishna can see a double marriage! He danced away on the shop floor! Roops grabbed a few loose yellow marigold flowers and hurled them at Krishna! who ducked to one side.. but soon after him followed both Dutta and Naku, behind him and got bombarded with marigolds!
Both Baji and Roops laughed! and clapped as Baji shouted hysterically
"see Bhau! what will be.. will be! even chance has failed against odds! as you both have walked yourselves into an auspicious omen!
Dutta looked sideways at Naku and they both exchanged looks furtively. He nodded and signalled Baji with his head to leave.. as soon as they left.. Roops and Naku joined heads as. Naku briefed Roops about her outing with Dutta
~~~~~~~
Back at Patil Nivas, Aye Sahib waited for both her sons. Once they did, she called for a caucus immediately. With her children all rallied around her she clarified..
"I would first like to apologize to Dutta for the grief I have caused him. if possible waver it asIde as our weakness.. for I always loved you and will continue to do so".. Dutta drew closer to her, folded his legs and sat on the floor before her folded legs. He clasped her hands and urgently added
"Aye.. every one let me speak first.. I love you all dearly too, all I want from you is more information about my past.. is that asking for too much? don't you see Aye Sahib! you'll set me free from my lunacy !he cried as he cranked his neck and looked up into his mother's face and cried out in a broken voice
" Kala Tai told half the truth about my mother! now I have the right to know about the full story from you Aye Sahib! he insisted vehemently.. Aye Sahib placed her hand on his head.. as if she swore upon it.. and confessed, in a sad tone
" yes what Kala said was the truth we were given at the orphanage we fostered you from.. your mother's side notes said that.. that she was a prostitute by trade.. that was her means of livelihood.. she left you at the orphanage as soon as you were born, for you posed an obstruction to her livelihood.. this was her way out! and the way out for your life Bappa provided.. my lap ,my home.. now tell me Dutta my son ! my child was I in the wrong to save you?.. if so then punish me! or support me in the truth I have told you! wept Aye.. Dutta felt as if his ocean of tears had somehow dried up! he twitched his jaw and asked distantly..
" do you know if she is still alive? just a simple question.." he waited and eventually Aye Sahib replied, truthfully, as she mopped her eyes with her saree pallu
" yes Dutta she may be alive.. " Baji suddenly came and crouched beside Dutta and rested his hand on Dutta's shoulder..
"if she is Dutta! this is a small place.. don't you worry we'll locate her.. check the local deaths register.. we'll find her Dutta .. you don't stress , this is a family issue we face.. not just yours alone, Bhau! you go rest now! he suggested and safely and caringly he took Dutta to his den..
~~~~~~~~
Kala too was disturbed by Aye Sahib's revelation about Dutta's mother's whereabouts, her own mother kept her in the dark too. She was a bit vexed.. hence to let off steam she made her way to Baji's room ..
" Baji this is an important fact that Aye has just mentioned.. now what? Baji looked at his sister..
"Tai once again you ask this useless, happy go lucky Baji to give an interpretation of this news flash! Look Tai! I tell you straight ,this piece of news can work to your advantage.. "
"How Baji? stop teasing and come to the point! ,ordered Kala
" well Tai.. you can make amends for your insensitivity towards Dutta.. Tai seek his mother out for him , if? She is alive?.. I will help you with gleaning as much information as I can . but you to use your sources too.. now this should be our joint mission.. but make sure Dutta knows nothing about it!.. to be continued
