Chapter 9: It's not that easy!
"Sometimes, I just want to live elsewhere. I want to meet people who don't know who I am, my name or my story. I need an escape from reality."
| RAIGARH |
He was leaning at the door with his usual smirk and his hands in his pocket wearing a blue full sleeves tee which offcource he has folded with a pair of black jeans. I rolled my eyes seeing him there. He laughed a little and then came towards me, "Nandu Nandu Nandu.. Kya karu me tumhara?"
"Tum yahan kese aye MADHYAM?", I asked irritatingly as I was already pissed off and here he was in front of me to make my life more hell.
"Me yahan kese aya? Arrey ek spaceship ja rha tha aliens ka Chaudhary Mansion ke upar se.. Unse lift mangi.. Toh fir bdi mushkil se mujhpe taras khane ke baad unhone mujhe yahan drop kardia..", he said sarcastically and his tone was seriously irritating me to the core.
I didn't replied and looked other side and wished that he could vanish somewhere.
"So, tumhe kya lagta hai Ki tum yani ki meri hone wali biwi kahin bhi kabhi bhi chali jaogi.. Or me kuch nhi karunga.. Right?"
"Stop it Madhyam! Yeh hone wali biwi, hone wali biwi.. Band kro yeh!! Itni jaldi chize assume karne Ki zarurat nhi h.. Yeh sirf hm dono Ki families Ki ek 6 saal purani galti hai.. That's it!"
He laughed like idiots, "Seriously Nandani! OMG.. Idk me tumhe Puri zindagi kese tackle karne wala hun.. Itna sapnon me jiogi toh reality kab dekhogi.."
I looked other side. He continued, "Tch tch tch... Koi ni don't worry! Ab tumne kahan Jana hai.. Seekh jaogi dheere dheere mere sath rehke.."
I seriously want to smash his head. I just couldn't tolerate this attitude of his anymore. I was about to reply him but his phone started ringing. He glanced at the caller ID and then smirked looking at me. I was confused. He picked up the call. I could only hear the one sided conversation obviously. He was looking at me all the time while talking.
"Ji.."
"Ji, Vo yhin hai.."
"Vo thk hai bilkul ap chinta mat kijiye.."
"Arey ap kyu maafi mang rhi hai.. Aur vese bhi mene samjhadia hai Nandu ko Vo ab aise kabhi nhi jayegi kahin..", He said smirking towards me. I looked other side irritatingly but was obviously curious about the caller. Maybe its Maa, Chachi.. Ya RaniMa.. No No!! Not her.. M seriously not in a mood to talk to her. But God has decided to go against my each and every wish nowadays.
"Han yhin hai mere saamne ap khud hi baat karlijiye..", and he handed over the phone to me. I sighed and took the phone from him.
"Nandani bina koi time waste kiye Madhyam ke sath ghar vapis aajao.. Ajtak tumne vahi kiya Jo tumhara man kiya.. Par ab aur nhi.. Jaldi ghar ao.. Hme tumse baat karni hai..", as soon as I took the phone RaniMaa started her nonsense. I was really not in a state of mind to talk to her right now. Without replying I cut the phone and gave to him. He smirked seeing my face.
"So, chale.. ", he said signalling his hands towards the door. I rolled my eyes but went outside the room followed by him.
Cabir, Mukti and Navya in one of the room
"Shirt yr Mukti! I shouldn't have said all that. Mujhe control karna chahiye tha apne emotions ko.. Yeh thk nhi kiya mene.", Cabir muttered all this sitting on the bed and covering his face with his palms. Mukti sat beside him.
"Cabir stop blaming yourself. Jo Hua Sai Hua..", she said.
"What do you mean Mukti?", This time it was Navya because yes, she was worried for her friend and obviously was shocked with Cabir's sudden outburst.
Mukti made her sit on the bed with them, "Dekho Navya! Past me Jo kuch bhi Hua, us se hum sbki lives me bahut asar pdha hai.. Our lives have gone through a drastic change.. Hm sab ek dusre se door hogye.. Fab- 5 Jo hmare liye sabkuch tha.. Hmari family thi, Vo toot gya.. Hmari jaan, hmara music sab choot gya.. Isliye humsabke andar bahut sari frustrations, naraazgi hai Jo acha hai ki ab nikal rhi hai.."
Cabir looked at Mukti intently because he was the one who asked Mukti to forget the past and give one chance to Fab- 5 again. Mukti understood, "Cabir I know tu kya kehna chahta hai.. (Mukti stood up) Tujhe pta hai me bilkul yahan ane ke liye ready nhi thi.. But now I want Fab- 5 back! Hme bus Nandani ko thoda time Dena hoga Cabir.. Aur Manik ko bhi.. I don't why but I have a gut feeling Ki in dono ke differences jald hi door hojayenge.. (She then looked at Cabir) And Cabir me isliye keh rhi hun Ki agar hme nyi shuruat karni hai.. Toh purani sari frustrations aur gussa nikalna pdega.. That's why am saying ki Jo ho rha hai Sai hai.. And Nandani bhi samajh jayegi.. Tu tension mat le.."
Cabir instantly hugged Mukti, "Thanks Mukti.. Tysm!" He broke the hug, "Ab toh Fab- 5 ko vapis Ana hi pdega.. Fab- 5 Ki jangli billi jo vapis aa gyi hai.. ". And Mukti hit Cabir playfully listening to this and Navya was smiling seeing the duo.
Nandani and Madhyam came outside the room and saw Cabir, Mukti and Navya were too coming in the hall. The three were surprised seeing Madhyam in the farmhouse and Madhyam was obviously enjoying seeing them like this. Cabir was the first one to spoke.
"Tu yahan kya kar raha hai Maddy?"
"Mein Nandani ko lene aya tha yahan.", he said.
Cabir looked at me. Mukti asked, "But Tujhe kese pata Nandani yahan hai?"
"Vo Navya ne invite kiya tha mujhe yahan.. Kyu Navya?" Navya down her face. I was confused. Cabir rolled his eyes and murmured, "Madhubala!"
"Chalo Nandani.. We are getting late..", Madhyam said.
"Kahan ja Rhe Ho tum log?", Cabir asked.
"Kaash hum dono kahin ja sakte abhi Cabir but Singhania family ghar pe apni hone wali bahu ka besabri se intezar kar rhi hai so abhi toh hum ghar hi ja rhe hai..", Madhyam replied.
"Nandani beta tum ja rhi Ho.. Hmne toh ap sabke liye breakfast ready karwaya tha..", Ghanshyam uncle came and said.
"Apne suna nhi mene abhi kya kaha.. Hum ja rhe toh iska mtlab yhi hai ki hum ja rhe hai..", Madhyam said rudely. Whenever I think that this man cannot enrage me than this, he always prove me wrong.
"Madhyam Behave.", I said coldly and went to Uncle, "Uncle Sorry! Actually mujhe abhi ke abhi ghar Jana pdega.. It's urgent. Ap ek kaam kro apne Jo khana bnwaya hai naah ap pack krwadijiye me ghar Jake pkka khalungi and apko feedback bhi dedungi, promise!"
"Han beta kyu nhi.. Tum thodi der ruko hum abhi pack krwake late hai..", he went by saying this.
"Wow Nandani! Mtlab tum ek mamuli se caretaker ko sorry bol rhi thi.. Like seriously? I just can't believe this!", Madhyam barked.
"Kyuki har cheez position aur paison se measure nhi Ki ja Sakti Madhyam! Emotions and respect naam Ki bhi koi cheez hoti hai..", I replied.
"Ya! Why not.. Respect! Emotions! Itni thokre kha chuki Ho tum Nandani fir bhi tumhari soch vahin Ki vahin hai.."
"Enough Maddy! Jin cheezon ka tujhe mtlab hi nhi pta unke baare me tu na hi baat kar toh behtar hoga..", Cabir said.
Madhyam laughed, "Cabir idhar na Kisi ko mtlab samajhne Ki zarurat hai na samjhane Ki.. Yahan pe sabko sabkuch pta hai..", he said all this looking towards me.
"Maddy you..!", Mukti said but I cut her inbetween, "Leave it Mukti! Is insaan ko kuch bhi bolne ka koi bhi fayda nhi h.. Chod!" Madhyam just rolled his eyes. Meanwhile Uncle came with the packed food and me and Madhyam left in one car and Cabir, Mukti and Navya in other.
As soon as we reached RaniMaa took me in her room to talk.

Dhruv went as Dad called him for some work. Though I am not having a good relation with him but I don't want Dhruv to ruin his, so I forcefully sent him there. I needed some alone time too.
Don't know for how much time I sat there thinking about my life. The changing relationship of mine with Dad. Nandani. Fab- 5. My thoughts were revolving around all this. I was in that state of mind when you can just only think about the possibilities what could more go wrong in your life. Just negativity. Nothing positive.
'Ahh Nandu! Kyu chali gyi tum meri life se? U were the positivity in my life. U could make me see the good side of everything. U were my shining star!'
I went into my room and switch on the TV to distract my mind. A news channel came up.
"So jesa Ki ap sab jante hai Ki Nandani Chaudhary vapis Raigarh aa chuki hai.. Unke ane Ki Khushi me Madhyam Singhania ne ek party bhi rakhi.."
' Even God doesn't want my mind to get rid of your thoughts Nandani. ', sighed. The news anchor continued, "Party toh private thi par sutron se yeh khabar mili hai Ki Nandani ke sare purane dost us party me mojood the.. Ji haan.. Fab- 5 bhi lekin Malhotra brothers ke bina..". Manik rolled his eyes and curled his lips.
"6 saal bahut lamba samay hota hai.. Par lagta hai inlogon ke purane differences aaj bhi kayam hai..". Manik was expressionless.
"Princess Nandani itne salon baad apne Raigarh vapis ayi hai.. Hmne airport me, party me kahin baar unse baat karne Ki koshish Ki par security Ki vajah se hum unse directly baat nhi karpaye. Par Raigarh Ki RaniMaa ne khud apne mansion me aj shaam ko ek press conference rakhwayi hai.. Toh sab tayaar rhiyega aj shaam 6 bje Ki live press conference ke liye..".
' Live Press Conference ', Only these words were ringing in Manik's mind.
