Part 28........................................................
Veer is stunned and mutters Dev!!!!! 'Whats going on here!??? Kaajjal? Dev softly looks appologetic and speaks "Veer bhai please forgive me. I was pretending and ..." relates the whole incident to Veerbhai. Veer the ever chweet softie, smiles and slaps his brother's shoulder lovingly. Then Dev formulates his plan and tells the details to Veer and Adi!
Kaajjal after preparing the dinner calls all at the table. While she is in the kitchen, Adi follows her and says "Ahem, chulbuli, mera ek kaam karogi? Can you ask ahem urm, could you...urm..... " and Kaajjal goes like yes, yes what is it bhaiya, you need to put into more explicable words and not urm, ah,..... Dev breaks that moment and asks "Kya hua, anything wrong. Hearing Dev's voice always sends tingles down her spine, she turns flashing a dazzling smile at Dev and says "Adibhaiya ko kaam tha, but has not told me yet! Come on bhaiya I am listening!" Adi says "Maybe later on!" and leaves a wondering Dev and a bemused kaajjal in his wake. Dev is still standing there thinking and Kaajjal comes close to him and slides her hands around his waist and fondly looks up at him.😳 Dev feeling her nearness, snaps out of his thoughts and smiles down getting a naughty glint in his eyes. He goes to bend down his head intentionally..... and she runs away from him laughing chiding him, "Mr. Dev Pratap Singh, our guests don't survive on love like you! They have to eat food and so do you. Din ba din aap duble hote jaa rahe hain! Now take this dish out and I shall bring the rest. He then walks slowly near her and softly but firmly takes her in his arms and kisses her softly on her mouth. she is lost in his mesmerizing kiss and for moments they are in their own passionate world.......
"Ahem!!!" they are startled apart by Veerbhai's "Bhai, aaj humein khaana vaana milega ya phir... Kaajjal turns away embarrased while Dev drags a shy hand through his hair and says "Bhai, woh, yes, of course. Dinner is ready....." and Veer laughs at his sweet brother!
The next morning as planned Dev and Adi are waiting and Dev asks Kaajjal to call Nandinibhabhi from a new cell phone that he has brought for Kaajjal. She dials the Singh residence and as expected Veer receives her phone. He pretends that he doesn't know who the other person is and passes on the phone to NB. NB confused as to who it could be, hoping its not Adi........ speaks into the phone. Veer leaves yelling for Ameesha telling her that he is on his way to RC (Radio-City) since Dev wishes him to take over for some time. He leaves and hides in the bushes outside in the garden.
Here NB speaks "Hello?" Kaajjal softly speaks "Nandinibhabhi? Mein Kaajjal...." NB looks around and finds nobody, (Ameesha is hiding behind the staircase out of NB's line of vision) and she speaks softly into the phone "Kaajjal, where are you? Are you fine? I am sorry Kaajjal, I could not convince Dev. I am so sorry for all that has happened...." Kaajjal pretends to cry and says "Its okay bhabhi, can you please do me a favour? Can you please send Dev somehow to a place and then I shall manage the rest. Please bhabhi you are my last hope!" Dev here can't bear to hear the pain in her voice however much it all being an act...... He closes his eyes and bites his lower lip. Kaajjal continues on after NB agrees. She is thrilled and expresses her joy. She says "Could you please send Dev to Gannubhaiya's mandir near the pahadi just beyond the city-limits? I shall then manage the rest." NB agrees and repeats "Okay Kaajjal mein koi bahaana kar ke Dev ko aaj shaam ko pahaadi waale Ganpati ke mandir mein zarror bhej doongi......... Tum apnaa khayaal rakhna. Aur bhagwaan pe vishwaas rakho, sab theek ho jayega!" Kaajjal ends the call and here NB prays joining her hands, "he ishwar, Dev aur Kaajjal ko milaana ab aap ke haatho mein hain. In dono ki raksha karna!" And chudail smiles her most viscious smile ......Ganpati mandir...pahadi par....off the city-limits..... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
She looks around to make sure no one is there and she leaves to go outside. She reaches the garden, and dials a number from her cell "Okay, here is your chance to finish off both of them! Ab is baar nishaana na chooke Karan, nahin to samajh lena ki tumhari koi layikaat hi nahin hain... Mein itni baar tumhaari madad karti hoon, par tum ho ki koi kaam theek se poora nahin kar paa rahe ho. Aur haan, aaj dopahar tak paise mil jayenge tumhe...... she smiles and says "All for you Karan, anything for you. You know how I love you... Okay bye and take care!!" As soon as she ends her phone call and turns she is stunned to find Veer standing there and looking dangerously murderously angrily at her. She blabbers "woh, woh, Veer, I... I ... I.... that Karan, he is blackmailing me... I ....woh.." and he simply comes close to and slaps her hard! And then he says "Inspector please come and take her away!!!" A lady constable and an inspector come and take a stunned chudail blabbering away, "But Veer....." And Veer is trying hard not be broken as somewhere that love that he felt for her has all gone, vanished, that trust, that love, those promises everything just died. A part of him died alongwith his marriage to her.........
Now the game begins......... Dev is waiting patiently, twisting his fingers and stomping up and down the carpet wearing it off....waiting for her call...... It finally rings. Its NB. She pleads and begs and says, for mom's sake, please meet Kaajjal. Give her a chance and then finally gives him her own kasam. "Tum mujhe apni bhabhi-ma kehte ho na? To aaj mera hukum hain Kaajjal se tumhe milna hoga and she bangs down the phone. Dev closes his eyes and utters a soft appology to NB, tears in his eyes for the deceit for this woman whom he respects as his own mom and more....... And then waits for the other phone.....
His cell rings again, and with a satisfied glance knows its Veerbhai "Yes bhai? ....." after a pause his features soften lovingly and feel sorry for his brother's bereftness.... He acknowledges the hard work done by him and says "I shall be indebted to you bhai, today you did a very difficult thing. No person who loves his wife so....." Veer cuts him off saying bitterly "No, Dev. She doesn't deserve anything. But yes, I shall be tainted forever. I shall never love or trust again! Never" Dev murmurs soothingly, "Never is a long time bhai. We shall see. Now we have to move on with the plan. As decided You will be our back-up. I have informed DGP uncle and you know the rest." Veer mumbles his affirmation through his grief and hangs up.
Dev gives a thumb-up to both Adi and Kaajjal and asks Kaajjal to get ready for Plan B. Adi leaves to arrange for the two cars and Dev turns looking worriedly at Kaajjal "Kaajjal, tum kar paogi na?" She smiles and cups his worried face in her hands raising it whcih is bent down in worry trying to hide the pain, and his tears....... "Apni Kaajjal pe bharonsa hain na?" He smiles through his tears, love flowing through his very being.."Khud se jyaada........" "Then don't worry!" She joins her forehead to his lovingly looking into his teary eyes with a shine in her own... "And don't forget, you shall be there! Nothing could go wrong! I trust you! Remember, Dev ke bina Kaajjal adhoori hain...." Dev completes "Aur Kaajjal ke bina Dev..." She hugs him tightly, feeling his unspoken fear now earnestly, but keeps silent and prays to her Gannubhaiya! As the plan is dangerous.......... And he inspite of her assurances curses himself for putting her in this grave oncoming danger. He too silently prays "Apni behen ki zindagi aaj aapke haathon mein hain Gannu-bhaiya. Aaj meri izzat ki raksha karna! Though something doesn't feel right..... But then the moment is lost as Adi returns saying that all has been arranged as per the plan and they are ready when Kaajjal is!
Plan B in action.......
Dev reaches the mandir well before the fixed time.... and prays to Gannubhaiya. 'Gannubhaiya aaj Kaajjal ki raksha karna. Use agar kuch bhi hua to, main mar jaoonga. Meri zindagi aapke hawaale kar raha hoon!' And he leaves the mandir and hides among the trees near the cliff. And then he sees him arriving in an old battered van with his thugs.......... they hide behind the mandir.....Dev now wishes he could call off this plan as he doesn't want these thugs to even see kaajjal, forget doing anything else. He even picks up his cell to ring Adi, but too late. Adi comes there with Kaajjal and drops her off and leaves to join Veer!!! He closes his eyes tightly and waits praying fervently now!!
