Chapter 2
The man helped anupam up and anpuam thanked him. Just as he was about to walk away anpupam managed to stop him.
Suno!, the man turns around and walks back. "ji saahab." Anupam is curious as to the lady he had just seen and asks. "Woh aurat kon thi?" the man looks at anupam strangely ... and replies, "kaun saahab"
Anupam: "woh abhi yaha thi"
Man: "ji koi naukrani hogi sahib."
"Nahin woh.." in anupams mind she cant have been a maid she didn't seem to be at appearance. All the other staff in the house were dressed in a blue shade.. " nahin usne lal rang ki saar pehni thi."
The man looks at anpuam strangely,
Man: Mein toe yaha naya hoon par yaha par saab kehte hai ke.. shiv sahib use is ghar mein le kar aayey hai. Anpuam looks at the man with question, what did he mean by shiv has bought her into the house.
Anpuam: mein kuch samja nahin, anupam had the look of confusion on his face as the man replied "Sahib aap jaante hai...bade log kuch bhi kar sakte hai...kuch bhi khareed sakte hai."
Anpuam got a little defensive over his friend, what was this man trying to imply "Tum kehna kya chahte ho ke shiv.." although the man didn't let shiv finish off his words..
"Pata nahin sahib magar yey gaaon hai.,.yaha yey sab chalta hai.."
The man left quickly without saying anything leaving anpuam to deal with the aftermath of his words.
Stunned at what he had just heard anupam began to question himself. "shiv aisa kuch nahin kar sakta ?"
………………
Anupam questioned the man further, what did by sab kuch khareed sakte hai?
anupam: "kehna kya chahta hai aap?"
the servant looked strangely at anupam like he was surprised at why anupam was asking, did he not understand.
man: "sahib yey gaoun hai, yaha paise ke leighyey koi bhi bikh sakta hai aur aurate toe thakuro ki fidret hoti hai sahib." It was clear that the man was referring to prostitution. The expression on anupams face was of a mixture of feelings. confused and not wanting to trust this mans words. Anupam thought over the matter over and over again. could shiv do something like that? It was worrying that he was thinking this of his friend but the circumstances were forcing him to do so. The words of that man ran in his mind over and over again topped with images of that woman.
Anupam had to find out the truth but there was a strange feeling that was going through him. He couldn't help but think of shivs words "money can do anything and i have enough of it." Shiv had this surge of money power running though him but he wouldn't go that far would he?. However close a friend shiv might have been the questions still rose in his mind. as anupam took time out to think over things he noticed a doctor approaching in question to what he was doing here anupam stopped him.
taking a few steps across the checkered floor anupam managed to get to the doctor.
ji doctor sahab aap yaha? noticing the sort of brief case and stethoscope made him recognisable. The doctor quite an elderly touch, his appearance and both personality gave of a sense of wiseness.
The doctor replied with a smile: "ji ham yaha thakur sahib ke check up ke leighyey aayey the?? aap uske bete hai kya?"
Anupam shakes his head lightly "nahin matlab bete jaisa hoon, bade papa hai woh mere.."
doctor: "Aap please unka kyhal rake, woh heart patient hai aur stress ke baje se unki sehed bigadrari hai. Care and attention unki chahato ko puri karyeyga please."
Anupam re-assures the doctor as he leaves and then walks into the room that the doctor had walked out of. All implications show that the room is mehens bedroom but anupam is cautious
as he approaches. Standing at the edge of the door he knocks lightly on the wooden face before pushing the room open a little to look inside. seeing that it was the room he was intending
and mehen lying in bed anupam with a smile interrupts. "Kya mien andar asakta huen?" even though the doctor had left mehen intended on working even in bed. looking like he had a stack of official papers mehen seemed to be sighing them off. As Anupam walked in mehen welcomed him in… looking rather happy yet a whisk of weakness could be seen in his eyes. As Anupam came to sit at the edge of the bed he wanted to ask yet did it with craft. "kya bat hai bade papa..doctor aapka dost hai kya.." saying it with a laugh anupam got a crazy reply back too..
mehen: "dhusman hai mra!"
looking at the man which was for him always someone to admire anupam could see his idol going frail or at least troubled in some way. "asp theekh toe hai naa bade papa? i mean
aap zahier nahin karte par mien janta hewn ke aap pareshan hai." mehen looks at anupam and smirks "kaise jaangayey?" he wanted to know how anupam was so right.
anupam replies "kyun ke jab shiv pareshaan hota hai na toe useke chehre par bhi aisa kuch diktat hai " they both smile because he knows that is right.
"toe batayey bade papa..aap ki pareshani kya hai?"..mehen hesitates but knowing deep down anupam predicts. "shiv ko leaker pareshan hai na?" mehen doesn't directly reply but his words let it all on.
"woh theca toe hai naa anupam, akela hai, payer mien bhi khoya hai usne who….." but anus words reasure: papa aapka beta SHIV KAPOOR HAI. KISI BHI ANGLE SE AAPKO KAMSOR LAGTA HAI KYA. mehen smiles and then after a pause replies : "dil se kamsor hai woh…bilkul pane pita ki tare…" the sort of sparkle in mehens eyes makes anupam smile but before he could say angle thing mehen had opened up.
"mein Charta hoon ke mere baad yey who zimidari uthayey..yey gain, yet haveli- pane thakhur hone ki zimidari. magar mug nahin lagta ke shiv merry abate manega. " Anupam could tell that mehen was really hurt by this and this was the thing that was digging within.
anu: "mien shiv ko janta hewn badepapa who aap ke leighyey kuch bhi kar sakta hai." but mehen wasn't convinced it was like he knew something more. like there was a reason behind shiv not accepting his responsibility.
Anupam began to see this more deeply, this was no light matter. The fact that mehen was suffering as a heart patient and yet shiv as a son wasn't applying him self to his farthers wishes
was worrying. was shiv not aware of how deep his farthers worry was? Something wasn't quite right. First this unknown female and all her implications and secondly why shiv was so adamant to keep away from his
family tradition and the haveli. it didn't make sense and for anupam it was something he was going to have to come to the bottom of.
………..Sometime later and late evening amongst the city and away from all the rural aspects - Kapoor House. Shiv kapoor somewhat forcibly had to hold one of his late night parities. These were all musts from time to time as a business man but it didn't mean that he liked them. For shiv it was more of a chore than anything. Dress well, Be pleasant and not let his reputation down were his only aims. coming to 10.30pm and shiv already had enough. His guests were business tycoons of unfavourable nature and not to mention the tag along women that came in the form of rich daughters and bossiness women who were obviously more interested in attracting shiv for his financial status. 10 years in his profession and shiv was a sharp character, he could read a person at first sight on in his books non of these people were worth the effort. Giving a small speech and a few pleasant chats shiv gives his secretary the responsibly of ending the party with success. As for himself his one appearance was quite enough. walking along the staircase up towards the second floor of the k house the music and noise was still apparent to shiv but just as he approached the top of the staircase and turned at a certain corner all had faded out. here no one could see him or hear him. loosing his tie, opening up a few buttons of his shirt shiv felt the need to feel more relaxed. his all black suited appearance with the class of a signature three piece and white shirt and tie was for shiv his chosen appliance. like always his personality was perfected by his appearance. Shiv never let his appearance slip especially not in front of others yet coming to the end of a tedious day shiv was in need of a more relaxed attire. As he approached his bedroom taking his blazer of he unbuttoned the three front attachments of his waistcoat. Approaching the face of the door shiv pushed open the room casually only to find someones presence. entering his bedroom shiv found a certain lady lying on his bed…
before he could question or even say anything the lady had reacted to his entrance and moved to a standing position. this lady was farimilar, she was one of those women from the party. one in particular that was all over shiv. Shiv could see that this lady was under the influence of alcohol. Dressed in an western outfit her dress was anything but decent and the way she was approaching shiv and getting close shiv could sense her intentions. Very much irritated at the way this woman had entered his own bedroom, his space and was trying to seduce him was showing on shivs expression yet he knew how to deal with situations like this. As this woman got closer her words and intentions were swaying…she was even trying to kiss shiv yet shiv movement and even his one eye lock stopped this from happening. as the woman began to babble in her drunkenness shiv had made a phone call to this guards - "is ladki ko mere kamrese bahar karo" and in no time at all shivs guards had took her away. This wasn't the first time such an incident had occurred but it never failed to irritate shiv kapoor.
…As shiv seemed to feel the weight of being shiv kapoor it had be another straining day, after having had that certain class with the woman in his bedroom shiv no longer wanted to be there. somewhere more private and that place was his personal lounge. very minimalist in decor it had more of a bar feel to the room. maybe because in the corner of the room resided just that. walking into the lounge shiv took a glance the surroundings. his eyes hitting his one lost love… heading into the room shiv with the loss of his suit was now much more casually comfortable in his white shirt. a little relaxed looking yet that edge shiv kappoor had was still visible. sound of his footsteps on the titled floor. you could hear a pin drop in this surrounding did make shiv feel the emptiness that came with living on his own. walking ever so apptly with his hands carried in his pockets there was no effort in the way shiv walked towards the centre of the room. Stopping in the centre to overlook a certain draped element the appearance of it was large. corners, body weight and a sense of space it took up. overlooking the gone dusty drape shiv removes it to reveal a grand piano… shade of glossy black it still hadn't lost its touch. shiv smirked at that very though..looking at its beauty shivs mind was asking its own questions…there was a certain glow in his eyes as he looked at those black and white keys. reaching out towards them shivs fingers took a pause…how many years had it been. Giving up at that thought shivs eyes happen to fall on a framed photograph on top of the piano. Ipshitta, Shivs first love- a kind of an unknown smirk took to shivs face, it showed that he was much wiser now…and well that…that was his past. just as shiv was to reach for that certain framed picture there was a knock at the door and shiv attention was diverted towards it. It was his secretary, she walked into the room with shivs permission and walked in closer before saying what she had to. Stopping at a closer distance whilst shiv watched her. "sir hamare saare guests chalegayey- the party was a success." saying so with a smile she noticed how her boss was more occupied by personal matters wanting to take her leave shiv stopped her. "ruko" with his back to her he spoke and she stopped. as shiv took a seat on the piano stool he requested more politely that normal "mere leighyey ek drink, …if you don't mind." she knew exactly what he would drink in terms of alcohol and without any sort of histantion did as was asked. placing the glass on top of the piano near shiv she noticed how shiv was sitting there yet he had nothing really to do with the instrument, as shiv sipped from his drink and was in his own thoughs she noticed the photograph and questioned.
:"sir yey tasvir" maybe she shouldnt have asked yet the silence was becoming uncomfortable.
shiv took a very deep look at his secretary who looked a little wary of his reply. "yey mera pehla payaar tha.ipshitta.."
she was confused tha..?so no longer is. she didn't have to say anything because her expression told shiv that she wanted to know.
shiv: "mien use payer karta tha…aura woh mere paise se…" his secretary was shocked to hear this her expression changed instantly. shiv took a glance at her and found her expression amusing. he even smiled.
im sorry sir… - her reply was uncalled for and shiv made that clear. tum kyun sorry ho…im sorry ke meine ice pyaar kiya. yey lo.. shiv handed his secretary the photograph. she looked confused until he made clear his intentions : "Dispose of it.." His secretary was a little shocked yet if this was what he wanted then she had to do it.
just before she was about to make sure this is what he wanted someone else made there presence and this time there was no knock at the door.
Anupam walked in with a rather complex determination to his expression.
Shiv in all his calmness watched anupam walk in and even let him talk without a word edgeways….
Anupam: "SHIV MEIN TUMSE KUCH SARURI BAAT KARNA CHA THA HOON. ABHI AUR WOH BHI AKELE MEIN." shivs says nothing, his expression shows the kind of understanding and a glance towards his secretary that asked her to leave. she did it in a matter of seconds- his one gesture and she understood. with the close of a door and shivs secretary leaving anupam said what he had to. walking the length of the room up and down there was a hassled expression on anupams face that shiv noticed. sipping his drink shiv watch anupam walk the length of the floor a couple of times this way. Shiv could see that anupam was trying to say something but couldn't.
shiv: "Tum haveli gayer the?" The look on anupams face was just of freak. he had no words for his friend and this is what he expected because shiv kept and eye on everything.
shiv had spoken with so much ease his calmness always gave of a sense of a powerful control over his life and it was so even now..
Anupam couldn't keep it together for any longer and got to the point. "woh aurat kaun hai shiv?" shiv took a glance at his friend with a look of ignorance..even rose from his seat and walked passed him casually to pour another drink. - "kis ki bat kar rehe ho, mien kisi ladki ko nahin jaanta.." shiv was avoiding it that was for sure.
"Tum jaunt ho shiv ke mien kiss abate kar rah hewn." shiv with his back turned to anupam says nothing yet when hearing anupams next few words turns with a significant expression. "woh jo tumare haveli par rehti hai.." the look in shivs eyes tweaked a little at his friends comment but he didn't let anything on.
"Shiv kapoor ke amne saamne bohot ladkiya hoot hai…i don't know what or who you are talking about. " The fact that shiv was denying this it was obvious there was something that he was hiding. The words of the butler were sounding in anpuams mind alongside mehen distress. Anupam carried too much to let it be.
anupam: "tumare dad bohot pareshan hai shiv"
shiv: he has no need to worry, shiv added his comment with a sense of confidence.
Anu: jaha se mien dekh rah hewn, he has every reason to worry shiv..uska beta ski simadari se mukar rah hai.
Shivs expression becomes a bit more serious as he feels that anupam is getting a little more personal. "miene apna har farse nibhayay hai." The strength in shivs voice could not be beaten yet
anupam was adamant.
Anupam: "toe tum haveli ki zimadari kyun nahin lena chahte ho?"
shiv was a little irritated with all this questions and taking the finishing mouthful of his drink put the glass down on the piano surface which made a significant sound.
his reply showed a growing irritation: "woh mien tume batana saruri nahin samajta"
As shiv was about to walk away anuapms words caught his attention.
"looks like your hiding something your ashamed of shiv. " turning around to face his friend shiv couldn't believe his friends. shiv kapoor had nothing to be ashamed of and to prove that
shiv heard anupam on.
"Shiv kapoor has done nothing to be ashamed of"his stance very strong both were adamant on there words yet a little more of a push from anupam yet still was at neutral in behaviour.
so..that lady is like another woman in your life shiv….she is your keep? it wasn't clear if anupam was talking this way to anger shiv or he believed it for himself but it had worked. a slow irruption of anger could be seen in shivs eyes but his words were very contrasting. "Aisa hein kuch samajlo …"
thats right…mien toe bhul gaya ha ke mera dost shiv kapok hai….. shiv kapoor- joe shiv chahta hai woh hazel kar ke reheat hai. shiv said nothing with a pause he took note of his friends expression, shiv was ready to fuming inside yet there was a certain balance that came with his personality. with silence shiv added a comment to take the last words before trying to turn away - "your right I am Shiv Kapoor." Shiv couldn't walk away with out a comment from anupam : i feel for mehen uncle, aise beta joe insaano ko khareedta hai, its a shame insaanitat bazar mien nahin bhik ti shiv.!!!
without saying a word shiv takes a few steps closer to face anupam
tum ho anupam, agar koi aura hota toe….. the look in shivs eyes was defined with pure power, there was an touch of softness from his friend. There was pure disgust on anupam's face. he hated the fact that his friend could stoop so low…
shiv could see all this …Shiv was done being calm and his voice began giving of a harsh frustration almost peaking to anger "faisla kardiya, SHIV KAPOOR EK BEHAD GIRA HUA INSAAN HAI ??" shiv looked with a certain intestity that showed a strain to his thoughts..
"JIS INSAAN KE BARE MEIN TUM ITNA KUCH SOCH GAYEY ..USKI SUNNNA ZARURI NAHIN SAMAJE?
………. Shiv had blown his patience and his anger could no longer take these accusations. In as much frustration as was churning inside shiv demanded that anupam would take a trip to the haveli with him.
note for my readers: sorry guys for the delay im really sorry. not really had much chance - ive read all your comments and what can i say your fab for waiting for me so long!! keep with me and do tell me what you think of this new chapter. i'll be sure to reply to any comments i know i think there is one or two ive got to get back to. thanks again guys!!!
The man helped anupam up and anpuam thanked him. Just as he was about to walk away anpupam managed to stop him.
Suno!, the man turns around and walks back. "ji saahab." Anupam is curious as to the lady he had just seen and asks. "Woh aurat kon thi?" the man looks at anupam strangely ... and replies, "kaun saahab"
Anupam: "woh abhi yaha thi"
Man: "ji koi naukrani hogi sahib."
"Nahin woh.." in anupams mind she cant have been a maid she didn't seem to be at appearance. All the other staff in the house were dressed in a blue shade.. " nahin usne lal rang ki saar pehni thi."
The man looks at anpuam strangely,
Man: Mein toe yaha naya hoon par yaha par saab kehte hai ke.. shiv sahib use is ghar mein le kar aayey hai. Anpuam looks at the man with question, what did he mean by shiv has bought her into the house.
Anpuam: mein kuch samja nahin, anupam had the look of confusion on his face as the man replied "Sahib aap jaante hai...bade log kuch bhi kar sakte hai...kuch bhi khareed sakte hai."
Anpuam got a little defensive over his friend, what was this man trying to imply "Tum kehna kya chahte ho ke shiv.." although the man didn't let shiv finish off his words..
"Pata nahin sahib magar yey gaaon hai.,.yaha yey sab chalta hai.."
The man left quickly without saying anything leaving anpuam to deal with the aftermath of his words.
Stunned at what he had just heard anupam began to question himself. "shiv aisa kuch nahin kar sakta ?"
………………
Anupam questioned the man further, what did by sab kuch khareed sakte hai?
anupam: "kehna kya chahta hai aap?"
the servant looked strangely at anupam like he was surprised at why anupam was asking, did he not understand.
man: "sahib yey gaoun hai, yaha paise ke leighyey koi bhi bikh sakta hai aur aurate toe thakuro ki fidret hoti hai sahib." It was clear that the man was referring to prostitution. The expression on anupams face was of a mixture of feelings. confused and not wanting to trust this mans words. Anupam thought over the matter over and over again. could shiv do something like that? It was worrying that he was thinking this of his friend but the circumstances were forcing him to do so. The words of that man ran in his mind over and over again topped with images of that woman.
Anupam had to find out the truth but there was a strange feeling that was going through him. He couldn't help but think of shivs words "money can do anything and i have enough of it." Shiv had this surge of money power running though him but he wouldn't go that far would he?. However close a friend shiv might have been the questions still rose in his mind. as anupam took time out to think over things he noticed a doctor approaching in question to what he was doing here anupam stopped him.
taking a few steps across the checkered floor anupam managed to get to the doctor.
ji doctor sahab aap yaha? noticing the sort of brief case and stethoscope made him recognisable. The doctor quite an elderly touch, his appearance and both personality gave of a sense of wiseness.
The doctor replied with a smile: "ji ham yaha thakur sahib ke check up ke leighyey aayey the?? aap uske bete hai kya?"
Anupam shakes his head lightly "nahin matlab bete jaisa hoon, bade papa hai woh mere.."
doctor: "Aap please unka kyhal rake, woh heart patient hai aur stress ke baje se unki sehed bigadrari hai. Care and attention unki chahato ko puri karyeyga please."
Anupam re-assures the doctor as he leaves and then walks into the room that the doctor had walked out of. All implications show that the room is mehens bedroom but anupam is cautious
as he approaches. Standing at the edge of the door he knocks lightly on the wooden face before pushing the room open a little to look inside. seeing that it was the room he was intending

"Kya mien andar asakta huen?" even though the doctor had left mehen intended on working even in bed. looking like he had a stack of official papers mehen seemed to be sighing them off. As Anupam walked in mehen welcomed him in… looking rather happy yet a whisk of weakness could be seen in his eyes. As Anupam came to sit at the edge of the bed he wanted to ask yet did it with craft. "kya bat hai bade papa..doctor aapka dost hai kya.." saying it with a laugh anupam got a crazy reply back too..
mehen: "dhusman hai mra!"
looking at the man which was for him always someone to admire anupam could see his idol going frail or at least troubled in some way. "asp theekh toe hai naa bade papa? i mean
aap zahier nahin karte par mien janta hewn ke aap pareshan hai." mehen looks at anupam and smirks "kaise jaangayey?" he wanted to know how anupam was so right.
anupam replies "kyun ke jab shiv pareshaan hota hai na toe useke chehre par bhi aisa kuch diktat hai " they both smile because he knows that is right.
"toe batayey bade papa..aap ki pareshani kya hai?"..mehen hesitates but knowing deep down anupam predicts. "shiv ko leaker pareshan hai na?" mehen doesn't directly reply but his words let it all on.
"woh theca toe hai naa anupam, akela hai, payer mien bhi khoya hai usne who….." but anus words reasure: papa aapka beta SHIV KAPOOR HAI. KISI BHI ANGLE SE AAPKO KAMSOR LAGTA HAI KYA. mehen smiles and then after a pause replies : "dil se kamsor hai woh…bilkul pane pita ki tare…" the sort of sparkle in mehens eyes makes anupam smile but before he could say angle thing mehen had opened up.
"mein Charta hoon ke mere baad yey who zimidari uthayey..yey gain, yet haveli- pane thakhur hone ki zimidari. magar mug nahin lagta ke shiv merry abate manega. " Anupam could tell that mehen was really hurt by this and this was the thing that was digging within.
anu: "mien shiv ko janta hewn badepapa who aap ke leighyey kuch bhi kar sakta hai." but mehen wasn't convinced it was like he knew something more. like there was a reason behind shiv not accepting his responsibility.
Anupam began to see this more deeply, this was no light matter. The fact that mehen was suffering as a heart patient and yet shiv as a son wasn't applying him self to his farthers wishes
was worrying. was shiv not aware of how deep his farthers worry was? Something wasn't quite right. First this unknown female and all her implications and secondly why shiv was so adamant to keep away from his
family tradition and the haveli. it didn't make sense and for anupam it was something he was going to have to come to the bottom of.
………..Sometime later and late evening amongst the city and away from all the rural aspects - Kapoor House. Shiv kapoor somewhat forcibly had to hold one of his late night parities. These were all musts from time to time as a business man but it didn't mean that he liked them. For shiv it was more of a chore than anything. Dress well, Be pleasant and not let his reputation down were his only aims. coming to 10.30pm and shiv already had enough.

Shiv never let his appearance slip especially not in front of others yet coming to the end of a tedious day shiv was in need of a more relaxed attire. As he approached his bedroom taking his blazer of he unbuttoned the three front attachments of his waistcoat. Approaching the face of the door shiv pushed open the room casually only to find someones presence. entering his bedroom shiv found a certain lady lying on his bed…
before he could question or even say anything the lady had reacted to his entrance and moved to a standing position. this lady was farimilar, she was one of those women from the party. one in particular that was all over shiv. Shiv could see that this lady was under the influence of alcohol. Dressed in an western outfit her dress was anything but decent and the way she was approaching shiv and getting close shiv could sense her intentions. Very much irritated at the way this woman had entered his own bedroom, his space and was trying to seduce him was showing on shivs expression yet he knew how to deal with situations like this. As this woman got closer her words and intentions were swaying…she was even trying to kiss shiv yet shiv movement and even his one eye lock stopped this from happening. as the woman began to babble in her drunkenness shiv had made a phone call to this guards - "is ladki ko mere kamrese bahar karo" and in no time at all shivs guards had took her away. This wasn't the first time such an incident had occurred but it never failed to irritate shiv kapoor.
…As shiv seemed to feel the weight of being shiv kapoor it had be another straining day, after having had that certain class with the woman in his bedroom shiv no longer wanted to be there. somewhere more private and that place was his personal lounge. very minimalist in decor it had more of a bar feel to the room. maybe because in the corner of the room resided just that. walking into the lounge shiv took a glance the surroundings. his eyes hitting his one lost love… heading into the room shiv with the loss of his suit was now much more casually comfortable in his white shirt. a little relaxed looking yet that edge shiv kappoor had was still visible. sound of his footsteps on the titled floor. you could hear a pin drop in this surrounding did make shiv feel the emptiness that came with living on his own. walking ever so apptly with his hands carried in his pockets there was no effort in the way shiv walked towards the centre of the room. Stopping in the centre to overlook a certain draped element the appearance of it was large. corners, body weight and a sense of space it took up. overlooking the gone dusty drape shiv removes it to reveal a grand piano… shade of glossy black it still hadn't lost its touch. shiv smirked at that very though..looking at its beauty shivs mind was asking its own questions…there was a certain glow in his eyes as he looked at those black and white keys. reaching out towards them shivs fingers took a pause…how many years had it been. Giving up at that thought shivs eyes happen to fall on a framed photograph on top of the piano. Ipshitta, Shivs first love- a kind of an unknown smirk took to shivs face, it showed that he was much wiser now…and well that…that was his past. just as shiv was to reach for that certain framed picture there was a knock at the door and shiv attention was diverted towards it. It was his secretary, she walked into the room with shivs permission and walked in closer before saying what she had to. Stopping at a closer distance whilst shiv watched her. "sir hamare saare guests chalegayey- the party was a success." saying so with a smile she noticed how her boss was more occupied by personal matters wanting to take her leave shiv stopped her. "ruko" with his back to her he spoke and she stopped. as shiv took a seat on the piano stool he requested more politely that normal "mere leighyey ek drink, …if you don't mind." she knew exactly what he would drink in terms of alcohol and without any sort of histantion did as was asked. placing the glass on top of the piano near shiv she noticed how shiv was sitting there yet he had nothing really to do with the instrument, as shiv sipped from his drink and was in his own thoughs she noticed the photograph and questioned.
:"sir yey tasvir" maybe she shouldnt have asked yet the silence was becoming uncomfortable.
shiv took a very deep look at his secretary who looked a little wary of his reply. "yey mera pehla payaar tha.ipshitta.."
she was confused tha..?so no longer is. she didn't have to say anything because her expression told shiv that she wanted to know.
shiv: "mien use payer karta tha…aura woh mere paise se…" his secretary was shocked to hear this her expression changed instantly. shiv took a glance at her and found her expression amusing. he even smiled.
im sorry sir… - her reply was uncalled for and shiv made that clear. tum kyun sorry ho…im sorry ke meine ice pyaar kiya. yey lo.. shiv handed his secretary the photograph. she looked confused until he made clear his intentions : "Dispose of it.." His secretary was a little shocked yet if this was what he wanted then she had to do it.
just before she was about to make sure this is what he wanted someone else made there presence and this time there was no knock at the door.
Anupam walked in with a rather complex determination to his expression.
Shiv in all his calmness watched anupam walk in and even let him talk without a word edgeways….
Anupam: "SHIV MEIN TUMSE KUCH SARURI BAAT KARNA CHA THA HOON. ABHI AUR WOH BHI AKELE MEIN." shivs says nothing, his expression shows the kind of understanding and a glance towards his secretary that asked her to leave. she did it in a matter of seconds- his one gesture and she understood. with the close of a door and shivs secretary leaving anupam said what he had to. walking the length of the room up and down there was a hassled expression on anupams face that shiv noticed. sipping his drink shiv watch anupam walk the length of the floor a couple of times this way. Shiv could see that anupam was trying to say something but couldn't.
shiv: "Tum haveli gayer the?" The look on anupams face was just of freak. he had no words for his friend and this is what he expected because shiv kept and eye on everything.
shiv had spoken with so much ease his calmness always gave of a sense of a powerful control over his life and it was so even now..
Anupam couldn't keep it together for any longer and got to the point. "woh aurat kaun hai shiv?" shiv took a glance at his friend with a look of ignorance..even rose from his seat and walked passed him casually to pour another drink. - "kis ki bat kar rehe ho, mien kisi ladki ko nahin jaanta.." shiv was avoiding it that was for sure.
"Tum jaunt ho shiv ke mien kiss abate kar rah hewn." shiv with his back turned to anupam says nothing yet when hearing anupams next few words turns with a significant expression. "woh jo tumare haveli par rehti hai.." the look in shivs eyes tweaked a little at his friends comment but he didn't let anything on.
"Shiv kapoor ke amne saamne bohot ladkiya hoot hai…i don't know what or who you are talking about. " The fact that shiv was denying this it was obvious there was something that he was hiding. The words of the butler were sounding in anpuams mind alongside mehen distress. Anupam carried too much to let it be.
anupam: "tumare dad bohot pareshan hai shiv"
shiv: he has no need to worry, shiv added his comment with a sense of confidence.
Anu: jaha se mien dekh rah hewn, he has every reason to worry shiv..uska beta ski simadari se mukar rah hai.
Shivs expression becomes a bit more serious as he feels that anupam is getting a little more personal. "miene apna har farse nibhayay hai." The strength in shivs voice could not be beaten yet
anupam was adamant.
Anupam: "toe tum haveli ki zimadari kyun nahin lena chahte ho?"
shiv was a little irritated with all this questions and taking the finishing mouthful of his drink put the glass down on the piano surface which made a significant sound.
his reply showed a growing irritation: "woh mien tume batana saruri nahin samajta"
As shiv was about to walk away anuapms words caught his attention.
"looks like your hiding something your ashamed of shiv. " turning around to face his friend shiv couldn't believe his friends. shiv kapoor had nothing to be ashamed of and to prove that
shiv heard anupam on.
"Shiv kapoor has done nothing to be ashamed of"his stance very strong both were adamant on there words yet a little more of a push from anupam yet still was at neutral in behaviour.
so..that lady is like another woman in your life shiv….she is your keep? it wasn't clear if anupam was talking this way to anger shiv or he believed it for himself but it had worked. a slow irruption of anger could be seen in shivs eyes but his words were very contrasting. "Aisa hein kuch samajlo …"
thats right…mien toe bhul gaya ha ke mera dost shiv kapok hai….. shiv kapoor- joe shiv chahta hai woh hazel kar ke reheat hai. shiv said nothing with a pause he took note of his friends expression, shiv was ready to fuming inside yet there was a certain balance that came with his personality. with silence shiv added a comment to take the last words before trying to turn away - "your right I am Shiv Kapoor." Shiv couldn't walk away with out a comment from anupam : i feel for mehen uncle, aise beta joe insaano ko khareedta hai, its a shame insaanitat bazar mien nahin bhik ti shiv.!!!
without saying a word shiv takes a few steps closer to face anupam
tum ho anupam, agar koi aura hota toe….. the look in shivs eyes was defined with pure power, there was an touch of softness from his friend. There was pure disgust on anupam's face. he hated the fact that his friend could stoop so low…
shiv could see all this …Shiv was done being calm and his voice began giving of a harsh frustration almost peaking to anger "faisla kardiya, SHIV KAPOOR EK BEHAD GIRA HUA INSAAN HAI ??" shiv looked with a certain intestity that showed a strain to his thoughts..
"JIS INSAAN KE BARE MEIN TUM ITNA KUCH SOCH GAYEY ..USKI SUNNNA ZARURI NAHIN SAMAJE?
………. Shiv had blown his patience and his anger could no longer take these accusations. In as much frustration as was churning inside shiv demanded that anupam would take a trip to the haveli with him.
