Blue Blood

Part 20

Kanta bai looked at Dutta sideways , he looked so much in place as the older son of this household. She wiped a silent tear from the side of her eye and just felt Aye Sahib's hand as a gesture of on-going gratitude.Aye Sahib though still smiled at Naku and then suddenly exclaimed.

" Naku ,Roops , isn't funny, only yesterday, Kala and Baji were harping on about bringing you into this household, fairly quickly. They wanted you as permanent family members and I was the one who left it too Bappa's will".. she stopped as she saw Naku's eyes become tear laden again.. Aye took a sip of water and asked Naku caringly

"are you alright my child? .. Naku shifted her glazed eyes towards Dutta who pulled his lips to one side of his indented stubble chin. His eyes pleaded to her to snap out of her sorrow, Naku looked down, sniffed and then with a somewhat forced smile replied apologetically

"yes Aye Sahib, fine.. Aye Sahib.. forgive me , it's still so fresh in our minds" and she turned her to Roops who nodded too and Naku continued

"that cannot get it out of our heads yet". Dutta added in a firmed tone,

"Aye Sahib tomorrow morning we will head for the police station for getting the first information recorded. Plus look into insurance too.."

" yes Naku ,Roops, you are with our family , so whatever you face now, after the incident it's a shared issue.. so get a good night's sleep children, and keep in mind that Bappa is the one in control.. if he gives sadness ,he also gives his devotes the strength to bear the grief and to move on too". Dutta bowed his head to Naku and then hauled himself up as he gently pushed his chair and stood up , with a clear indication that he was ready to retire. Naku stole a glance at him and he said plainly and simply

"any chance of getting a jug of water in my room Naku? .. Naku blushed and suddenly realized that she now lived under the same roof as him. Some how she felt that a bit of joy crept back into her soul and just looked at him and nodded her head at him, as he continued to wait for an answer from her. Baji heard and beamed at Roops ,and looked at his mother

"Aye Sahib , Baji follows his Bhau's example , so would you mind very much if Roops brings up water for me too? but before his mother could reply Roops, teased him

" Baji every one here knows how lazy you are ! so Aye Sahib don't you think he should take his jug of water with him to his room? Baji looked at Dutta in protest and Dutta moved his head to the side and commented in his guttural voice

"it's between you and Roops Baji, keep me out of this ! Krishna yawned and stood up from his place and announced as he covered his mouth to stop another yawn

"look I'll take the jug up for you Baji Bhau.." Dutta looked at Naku and she half nodded, but in the next instance Dutta told Krishna firmly

"you young man! get to bed now! and then he turned to Aye Sahib

"tomorrow at some point I need to have him enrolled in a local school" decided Dutta as Krishna's sleepy eyes flew opened and he parted his mouth to protest. But Dutta gazed at Naku and then turned his head towards Krishna and rested his finger on his mouth, then twisted his palm to Krishna and ordered him to leave.. the boy left his head hung disappointedly.

Dutta turned towards his room, but paused , twisted his heels and slowly walked to Krishna's room instead . The boy sat up in bed as he saw his door open and the tall imposing figure of Dutta move towards his bed. Dutta stopped at the foot of his bed ,folded his arms across his chest and asked

"did you have something to say ,downstairs Krishna? you may speak now.."

"why do I have to go to school Bhau,? Before Naku and Roops gave me home tuition what's changed now? the boy moaned as he sat up in bed with a huge sulk plastered on his face

"what's changed is Krishna! you don't work at a shop any more.. at the shop, you applied your life skills well, but they are incomplete. You need to go to a mainstream school now ,where you will learn how to develop a healthy competitive spirit. Where you will work , play and learn with age appropriate peers.. beside you'll have access to new learning resources. Krishna! you'll learn how to make friends, look you'll learn about meeting deadlines , when you take exams. .and Krishna you'll learn from your mistakes if you under perform in exams.. that's why Krishna you do need to have formal schooling now.. at first there was fear for your safety , that your gang you moved with before , might come looking for you and harm you. Today no such thing is likely to happen" explained Dutta, tenderly

"I guess I don't have much say in the matter? ,after what you've said Bhau..have I ? asked Krishna in all innocence, testing the waters . Dutta ,shook his head and then shook his head, walked slowly towards Krishna's bed and tucked him in.. tousled his hair playfully and muttered

" enough of talking Krishna, get a shut eye now.." said Dutta firmly then quietly slipped out of Krishna's room.

Dutta walked complacently towards his room ,but before he did, he paused and looked down his balcony to check if Naku was about.. would she heed to what he asked for? a jug of water.. no sign of her, he pushed open this milky glass doors, entered his room and sauntered towards the opened French widows. The fresh air soothed his body as he inhaled and slightly chilled ,he crossed his arms across his wide chest. Slightly impatient, he tipped and rested his shoulder against the glass French door.

Suddenly on the glass he caught the reflection of his door being opened and there she entered carrying his jug of water. Dutta kept his back to her and pretended he hadn't noticed her presence, for he waited, to hear her call him..

"Sahib.. jug of water.. she whispered and he stood still but his bemused eyes watched her move towards his bed side table.Naku tarried and then expectantly she looked his way .But disappointed she assumed , he was still withdrawn from her. Dutta noted through the reflection she firmed her fine rose bud mouth and reluctantly headed to the door. Dutta parted his full lips and still looking out to the night sky he commanded

"stop!.. she stopped and then slowly he levelled up and turned to face her ,his arms held at his sides

"did I ask you to leave Naku?, she expanded her eyes ,shook her head innocently .Dutta progressed slowly towards her, as she twisted the ends of her white chunni. His hooded eyes noted her nervous fidgety fingers and he gave her a crooked smile

" you will see Naku, what it means to be living with Dutta in his house, humm".. he screwed his eyes at her, and supressed his mouth from breaking into a chortle ,at the look of anxiety on her pretty little face.

"what will you turn into Sahib? you frighten me" Dutta slanted his head to one side and drawled

"I have certain requirements Naku.. that I expect you to meet as from today" Naku shook her head again, willing to please and he with an eyebrow raised, he commented

" you surprise me Naku! without asking me, about the nature of my requirements you agreed to fulfil them" Naku looked at him confidently and nodded

"yes Sahib, I agreed because I know that your demand would be within the parameters of decency" . Dutta, bowed his head and then looked the other way briefly and resumed to stare at her face with his demand

"ok then every morning bring my bed tea to my room.. will you do it Naku? he asked romantically

"yes Sahib ,will do ,and every night a jug of water for you ,and bed tea in the next morning, " Dutta sauntered closer to her and continued

"thing is Naku , now that by some perchance of fate you have ended up here in my house ,sooner than later.. I want to begin my day with you and end my day with you as well".. he said as he took her in his arms and kissed the top of her head. He squeezed her a bit and then mumbled

"now are you happy to be here or not? Naku gave a short "hummm.". gently moved out of his embrace and walked away , turned and waved

"we all had quite a day Sahib.. sweet dreams.." silently she slipped out and closed the door to his room .. Dutta stood still and muttered

"not long now Naku , hopefully soon , you won't be leaving my room to sleep"...

~~~~~~~~~

Following morning Dutta woke up, half expected to be stirred by her but was disappointed. The fumes of tea wafted down his nostrils as he moved his head towards his bed side table. Surely she had given in to his requirement .. the cup of tea awaited him. He lurched himself into a sitting position and gingerly sipped his piping hot tea. Dreamily Dutta smiled and mused , it was asking for too much to do, anything more than this. For things to progress further, validity has to be put into place that would make Naku his life partner. What a palaver! he whined as he eased himself out of bed. It all seemed so long winded to jump through the hoops of rituals and traditions for two people who love each ! Baji was right when he suggested they should just take the girls to the nearest temple and marry the girls! that is a task as high a mountain.. so best forgotten!. He gave himself a reality check! and slammed his bathroom door, to start the day. Dowstairs Krishna, Naku, Roops waited for Dutta and eventually he arrived dressed in clean ,pressed black uniformed. He waved his hand to having breakfast , but Naku ignored him and progressed towards him with a glass of orange juice which he was about to decline too ,but his two mothers yelled and said something to the effect of .. that never leave the house without eating the first meal of the day ,as one is likely so be denied food all day long! Dutta rolled his eyes and took the glass from Naku and downed it in one go, dabbed the corner of his mouth and then walked away from the hall liked the pied piper whom the rest followed!

It was agreed that both Dutta and Naku would go into the heads office of Krishna's new school. Naku explained that he had been given home tuition and received early literacy and numeracy skills, and thus requested age appropriate tutorials and a curriculum that was partly special needs based. The head asked Krishna certain questions regarding maths ,to which he gave answers which clearly showed his reasoning and applying skills of the subject to real life situations . Seeing Dutta in a security uniform also impressed upon the head , that it seemed high standards of behaviour were expectations from the adopted parents, as they wished to be known. Thus Krishna , Naku and Dutta were shown the school environment. Displays of pupil's work celebrated and mirrored the ethos of the community of Patil Vadi. Dutta and Naku were satisfied and were pleased to leave Krishna at the school, to familiarise him with staff, and routines of the school.. before they left Dutta rested his hands on Krishna's shoulders

"you ok .. Krishna ? the boy knew Dutta well enough ,that only an answer in affirmative would do

"ho Bhau.. fine as can be.. I know end of the day I will be collected by my family and taken back to my home! so what's there to worry about !Dutta smoothed Krishna's shirt at the shoulders and fixed his collar and replied

"that's the spirit Krishna , go and learn , but also share and teach others by the wealth of experience you have of life.. " Naku hugged him and then both left him with a bid, that they would return to collect him.

The first information at the police station was short and swift. The police were not going to faff about with Dutta, seeing that he knew the ropes. The forensic report analysis of the shrapnel and bottle proved that it was the work of some novice who used kerosene oil to make a Molotov cocktail. The crime itself didn't suggest it was an organised attack, rather carried out by one person. The car however belonged to some local extortionist Moota Jhingar! and a police search party had gone out looking for him, but he seemed to have gone underground!

Dutta and Naku both confirmed they didn't have any known enemies , which made matters complicated for the police as they didn't have a lead to go by .Still Dutta made it quite clear he wanted the case kept open and investigations , underway. Before he left he wanted a copy of the forensic report of the complete incident.. Naku was keen to know why the report was important? and he turned to her in the car

"do you want Gul Bahar ,up and running again Naku.. Huum? Naku took on board his slightly irritated tone and preferred to just nod..as he, himself would continue any way. She was right always

"the report, is for insurance purposes , as I trust you will claim damages won't you know? It's not accidental , the act comes under malicious premediated arson attack with an ongoing investigations".. Naku nodded and her eyes did stare at his face with deep gratitude ,love , and admiration.. and he replied with a half bemused smile

"I am a bit disappointed Naku ,that you weren't able to work out for yourself .. it's a good thing that I am able to sort your life out" he boasted, Naku giggled as she felt his nearside arm..

"say what you want Sahib , but you have to agree that Naku is smart girl to chose a useful man like you" she giggled and Dutta shook his head ,kept his eyes on the road, sighed and added

"you made a utility man out of an ordinary bloke Naku" he drawled romantically and she replied

"Sahib , you may be a lot of things ..but ordinary is not one of them! she laughed this time and he sided his head and smiled shyly too, as he halted before Krishna's school. The lad stood outside the gates and hopped into the rear of the car. Journey back to Patil Nivas was all about Krishna's chirpy chatter about his school. Dutta was well pleased that Krishna by the sounds of it,had taken a likeness to his new school.

It was music to her ears as Aye Sahib heard Krishna's laughter and the sound of Dutta's heels that dug onto the polished floor of the hall way. Krishna ran and showed his respect to his two Aye Sahibs and in turn was showered by blessings. Dutta and Naku could see that Kala Tai and the two Ayes sat with joined heads before they came in. Naku looked over her shoulder and wondered where Roops was? The smell of fresh food being cooked told Naku that Roops was in the kitchen. Soon after Naku joined her and Roops exclaimed much excited

"guess what our marriage is being discussed Naku! you up to it Naku? asked her friend. Naku poured herself a glass of water from a jug sipped it, and replied

"I wouldn't say I was up to yesterday, but today after having been to the station, and Sahib saying he'll get claim procedures initiated with the insurance company , I feel much better.. about the idea of marriage".. both returned to the lounge carrying tea and savoury tea time fritters..

"so seeing most of you are here .. where's Baji? asked Kala and he called..

"here I am Tai! now tell us some good news that will reform my life for sure! don't know about others though?he sniggered at Dutta and Naku! Kala looked at Aye Sahib defensively , to intervene for Baji to be serious. Aye Sahib of course raised her palm to show her displeasure and Baji pretended to zip his mouth. Kala being the eldest loved the power whenever her mother handed it down to her. In mock speech fashion she announced

"so it gives me great joy to announce that Aye Sahib , Kanta mai have come to the conclusion that a couple of marriages are to take place in this house. I am sure that none of you will mind as I can tell by the way your faces have turned red.. that you guys are more than happy to oblige! said Kala as she looked at her brothers. Baji clapped and went into a merry dance whereas Dutta remained shyly serious and lowered his eyes. Both Roops and Naku blushed and got busy offering tea.. Dutta watched amused and thought .. well things suddenly looked promising .. and he turned to look at Naku with narrowed eyes..

"so basically , everybody I am going to phone pandit Purhoit ji and set a time with him to visit us to set the mahurat for the double weddings", said Kala and she dialled the number of the family pandit.

~~~~~~

In hiding but not from Ravi. Jhingar answered Ravi's call and in no uncertain words reminded him that his mother and sisters were still in his control. So best Ravi kept things to himself. Ravi assured him , he would be careful as he would do the task ,for the pot of money that would make him pauper to prince. Jhingar, hid in the cellar underneath his seedy haunt and laughed, at Ravi! and confessed ,till there were smart , semi educated idiots like Ravi about, willing to make a fast buck, his sordid business of extortion would continue to gather strength to strength. With a doubt Ravi was filled with panic as he found out that Krishna had identified the number plate of the car. But Jhingar advised him , stay in denial like he intended to do. For the law goes, innocent till proven guilty. Besides the police will give up and tick off the car as an abandoned vehicle! and that would be the end of it. But Ravi, disagreed that Dutta was overseeing the case and knowing him he would get to the bottom of it. Jhingar pressurized him ,that he'd better get on with the kidnapping and fast! before things get difficult for him. Ravi as like always assured him that he would ,and was careful that he refrained from seeking suggestion from his boss as to how he would go about it?

At the dining table Nana Tavde, as like always, was cool as a cucumber and business like him. But Seema his daughter was like always smitten by Ravi's charm ,and made him as comfortable as possible. Nana turned to him and commented

"I guess you have heard about the incident about Nakusha's flower shop being gutted?? Dutta is on the lookout for the guy responsible. Where were you the night it happened Ravi? Nana asked suddenly and Ravi terribly flustered lied through his teeth.

"why Nana Sahib I was at the service station till late and eventually returned home when the incident happened" , awkwardly Nana nodded not entirely convinced and as expected Seema ran into dissension with her father as she flew to her beau's support.

"why are you asking Ravi where he was babaa? he is not even remotely connected! such a ridiculous thought! she cried out agitated and her father wiped his mouth with his napkin and glared at her

"won't be ridiculous if he is named as a suspect, Seema" warned Nana ,but Seema much to Ravi's delight retorted

"why would Naku name Ravi as a suspect ? she has no reason! Nana nodded and replied calmly

"true but Dutta could name Ravi as a suspect .. Seema, give it a thought" Although Nana never gave a reason. Ravi's fork fell from his hand on the marble floor with a loud clang! He very nearly choked on his food.. Nana gave him an sharp look ,while Seema thumped his back gently and offered him a glass of water that he gulped nervously.

Ravi ,contained himself soon enough, and decided there and then! that he had to act fast with his deed, no time to waste now and he looked at Seema , slightly composed.

"so Seema where to today? Seema checked her text with a broad smile and announced

"to the nearest shopping mall Ravi! then turned to her father

"looks like you'll be getting some good news from Patil niwas babaa"..
