Chap 2
Back after a long break!
So far, the Acharya's are partying over Sid's return. Sumedha gets a calls from Kabir, and is worried…
Ab age…
Sumi is all worried and leaves for her room…she closes the door..and paces around…
She stands at the window and thinks about her conversation with Kabir and is scared of what he might do if she does not get the money.She decides she wont head his threat, gets her confidence back, and leaves her room..as she steps out, she bumps into an invitee…
Su: Oh, I am so sorry…Meine aap ko dekha nahi..(but is stunned to see how handsome and good looking he is)
Man: The pleasure is all mine. Aryan, Aryan Malhotra.
Sumi smiles shyly …
Su: Sumedha Acharya..
Ar: Nice to meet you…Shall we..
He lends her his arm, she puts her arm around his and walks down the stairs..the invitees downstairs are all ball dancing…Aryan holds Sumi's hands are whirls her into a spin and holds her before she can fall and begins to dance with her..Sumi is stunned and very impressed at the same time…they keep dancing..Aryan does not take his eyes off her..and keeps looking at her..he comes very close to her face, moves towards her ears..
Ar: Ap ki khoobsurti, is party ki raunak hai…is par daag lagne mat dijiyega.
Sumi pulls back surprised and embarrassed..
Su: Patana, aapko khoob ata hai..par..mein itni asani se patne waloin mein se nahi huin..thoda aur mahnat karo to shayad kuch sochungi..
Ar: Kya baat hai..kafi confidence hai apko ki, mein apko pata raha huin..what if I am not..
Su: if you were not, to aap mere kanoin mein bole bina, mere samne bolte…
Ar: I like it. Attitude.
Su: yes, and a lot of it…
Before he can say anything..she spins him around this time and holds his hand before he stumbles..and pulls him back..
Su: Sumi jiska haath ek baar tham leti hai, usse chodti nahi hai..
Ar: Yeh to waqt hi batayega..
Su: waqt batayega nahi, mein bataungi…
And they keep dancing..
Siddarth turns around to see who tapped him…
Sid: Do I know?
Parul: Ji nahi, tabhi to introduce kiya..
Sid: Well, I am glad ki is party mein mujhe koi to janta hai..
Parul: Bahut log jante hai, baas kisi Achraya se baat karne ki himmat nahi hai kisi ko, sivay uske..
And points towards where Sumi and Aryan are dancing..
Sid gets furious..and starts to walk towards..but Parul holds his hand and stops him..
Parul: Kya baat hai..problem kya hai?
Sid: Wohh meri bahan kisi ajnabi ke saath dance kar rahi hai..aur aap poochte hain ki problem kya hai?
Parul: Ajnabi se to aap bhi baat kar rahein hain..apko kaise maloom ki apki bahan ke liye wohh ajnabi hai?
Sid thinks for a moment..
Sid: nahi mujhe khud confirm karna hai…
Parul pulls him towards her and starts dancing…
He is shocked but as the dance floor spot light falls on them..he does not say anything but continues to dance..
Sid: Aaj tak kisine mujhe toka nahi hai…apko kya haq banta hai..
Parul: Haq banta nahi hai…banana padta hai..
Sid: Well, apko itna hi dance ka shauk hai to…
He takes her to another man standing ..
Sid: Please kya aap inse dance karenge..
Parul tries to object to it..and is gettinf furious..
The man: Sure Mr.Acharya…Mam..
Parul jerks her hands off him and storms to another corner of the floor..
Sid leaves and goes outside the house..where some guests were having food and drinks…
He goes to one of the drink counters and orders a drink..a man walks upto him from behind…
The man: Abhi tak peene ki aadat gayi nahi?
Sid turns back…and see the man smiling at him…
Sid: Anirban!! Yaar tu…

Sid:I am sorry yaar..yeh to kafi tragedy ho gaya!Chal to chinta mat kar..ab drink pi, teri devdas bhari zindagi mein rang, hum dhoond ke layenge!
In the hall, Namrata is tending to the guests in the hall..and the phone rings …She picks it up..
N: Hello
Caller: Sumedha hai?
N: Kaun Bol raha hai?
Caller: Uska dost
N: Arey bhai, koi naam to hoga..
Caller: Mein, Arun..
N: Accha beta, line par raho…
In the middle of tending to the guests, Namrata forgets all about the phone, she had not hung up either..Poorab was in his room, he had to call someone, and picks up the phone, but rather than hearing the dial tone, he hears some men conversing..
Man 1: Agar aaj usne hamari baat taal di, to khair nahi
Man 2: nahi talegi! Meine use pahle call kiya tha!
Man 1: Pakka yakeen hai?
Man 2: Hain hai! Paise ajyenge..chinta maat kar..aise, ya waise!
Man1 and Man 2 laugh out…
Man 1: Wiase wohh abhi phone par nahi aye kya?
Man 2: hain, Kafi time laga rahi hai, ghar mein kafi shor hai, koi party chal rahi hai shayad..
All the poorab keeps listening..
Man 1: Agar wohh hamare paise nahi di na..to mein..
Man2: Arey, kaha na maine..mil jayega!
Man 1: Wiase wohh disc tere paas hai na?
Man 2: Hain..hai..chal chote ko phone laga aur pooch, ki wahain, ho kya raha hai!
Bahut intazaar kara rahi hai eh..ab aur nahi..lagta hai sabak sikhana padega..
And the line goes dead..
Poorab is shocked and angry and thinks that someone has been blackmail, someone in his family, but cant figure who, then it hits , it has to be a woman. He thinks, only three people are possible, Ma, Sumi aur Mannu Mausi. But why would someone blackmail any of them..he is confused! He decides to find out before it gets too late..and thinks he has to find out who is in the house keeping an eye on them!
