HEY JAYATI

Hi Tin,

Chapter 3

hear many sighs of relief, Jai looked behind him to see Bade Takhur observing him, the game has begun he thought, he left the basement with a strange feeling….

+++++++++

Like any ancient houses the haveli was divided into two wings, the outer wing housed the receiving area in the ground floor and bachelor quarters on the first floor, the inner wing belonged to women and family, Sita devi, walked back to her room, she walked the long corridors going towards her room, a variety of feeling playing on her face, anger, sorrow, jealousy…..she came and stood in front of a room, without going inside she laid her ears, then muttered, kha gayi, mar mar mar……then rapidly walking to her room she entered it flopping down on the sofa, tears rolling down…

Ma phirse asu baha rahi ho….a female voice remarked…..

Meri naseeb bhi phuti hai, na pati ka sukh mila na beta ka….

The girl came forward, Ma look at Krishna, she ran away but it seems she will have the last laugh….

Mai andar ayu Thakurain, a sugar sweet voice asked….

Ayo Malati ayo, tumhara hi intezaar tha….Malati Udit and Gauri are already bearing their claws, we have to do something…..

I understand didi but Bade Thakur is watching with his hawk eyes….

Yes his last hope…..Sita devi remarked…..

Mai soch rahi thi didiji with you on our side, we cannot let Udit and Gauri have the first claim….

The girl laughed, chachi remember he is here to stay, what is the hurry…

You are not understanding Chandana, he is raw it is the time to mould him….

Chandana tu chup baith, Malati send Pia today, I will invite Jai for dinner with me, of course he cannot refuse his tai, can he….Pia and Chandana will serve him….agar Thakur hoga he cannot miss Pia's beauty….

Ma I do not want to get into all these….

Chup baith, mai Krishna ko jitney nehi dungi, after all mai jo bhugat rahi hu, she has a big role to play…

++++++

Jai climbed the stairs, he reached the terrace of the haveli, it was huge, standing he saw the 'Garh' in the morning sky, the roads were well laid out, the houses were well maintained, he noticed, the Haveli was the tallest and most imposing building, over 400 years his forefathers ensured that their authority is maintained, it is said rulers changed in Delhi, from Mughals to English and India became independent but Garh did not change, it managed to live for 400 years now down to the last heir, Jai thought…his mother…the times have changed, so should Garh, its way of running is no longer valid, but then she had to send him, she had to keep her promise, why did she promise at all, she is not a weak woman, she highly intelligent and talented…a renowned sculptor on her own right, she managed to keep him under wraps but when one of her work got great review people of the Garh came knocking at her door, since it was USA they did not want to make a huge issue but made her promise that when her son reaches the age of 18, Garh will take over his upkeep, so from his 18^th birthday, Shashank was appointed his secretary and Tony became his butler cum valet, though his mother thought he was more of a bodyguard….

Then why he, an adult playing at their tunes….curiosity or is it the call of destiny as the Bade Thakur said.

Pigeons fluttered breaking his thought, when he saw a girl with long hair feeding them at the other end of the terrace, he observed her, her face was not visible but she had natural grace, making sound softly, the pigeons were familiar with her, one came and sat on her hand, she kissed its head and released it in the air, as she watched it fly away Jai noticed her long neck, slim body, soft complexion, suddenly he found a pair of dark eyes watching him, they were grave and beautiful, on being eye to eye, she pulled her pallu over her head and ran towards the staircase….

Who is the girl? And she in white? Is she the same girl who fell on Bade Thakur's feet the other day….

Aap idhar ho, Radhe came up panting, jana nehi hai kya Bade Thakur ke saath Garh dekhne, woh intezaar kar rahe hai aapka….

++++++++

Malati tied Pia's choli, wouldn't it be better if I should my jeans and T shirt, Pia grumbled….

No, this has a different appeal, at times this ghagra choli can be more appealing than your pants and halter tops, especially for a man brought up in the west…..fixing her chunri to her satisfaction, Malati gave a satisfied smile, come lets go….

When a man came and stood in front of Pia, beta you are our hope and remember I do not want to loose out…..

Don't worry papa, you have spent money to groom me and I have learnt all the tricks of the trade, come ma lets seduce that foreigner….

Dikhpal Singh Tomar did not feel a twitch of regret to see his daughter going to the Haveli…though by the laws of the Garh, there should be no marriage amongst the co-brothers, but that has been violated and now all the existing co-brothers want to build their own dynasty, they wanted control over the main trust, not that they were less powerful but time has come when children are saying we are living in an independent country and why should we come under a feudal authority, we have equal rights to the trust, the power and privileges shared by the Haveli, not that they have any less but who doesn't want more, more power, more money and more control….equal rights no but power to succeed yes….

+++++++

Radhe led the way, it was one of the smaller rooms in the ladies wing, as Jai termed it…

Ma bhaiya a gaye one girl shouted seeing him enter….come bhaiya, I understand you speak hindi quite well, I am Chandana, you cousin, Suraj …Suraj Singh was my elder brother, a pretty looking girl in her in her early 20s greeted him….

Hello Chandana…..

I am sorry Jai, I hope you will not mind my desire to have food with you suddenly…..I mean please forgive the whims of an old woman who has lost her son….Sita Devi came and hugged Jai….

Taiji, it is my privilege…..

Take a seat, Chandana will serve us…..

She can join us too….

No my dear, tomorrow when she will be married off, she should go to her in-law's well prepared, you see nobody should say Thakurain ne apni beti ko kuch nehi sikhaya….

Jai laughed at this age, these people are totally locked in the past, his eyes fell on the girl entering with the food, he forgot to breath when she came next to him to serve….

This is Pia my friend Jai Bhaiya, Chandana introduced, today she is helping me to serve you…..

Hello Pia, Jai greeted…..

Jai or Thakur Sahab, Pia raised her eye brow….

Jai is fine…..

Hello Jai, would you like to have aloo chat, as a starter, it is sweet and spicy, khatta meetha,,,Pia said….

Jai did not know what happened to him, yes I love khatta meetha, sweet and sour isn't it….

Yes sour and sweet to be precise…..Pia served…..

Malati and Dikhpal were watching from the window, they smiled, Pia was a beauty and she had naughty eyes, men could seldom resist her, if Suraj could not have been sick….well maybe God has stored a great future for them, maybe this is his wish…..

Sita Devi too observed, as she expected a Thakur is always a Thakur, as they say leopard seldom changes spot, Krishna may have taken her son to USA but how can he forget his family traits, baap dadao ka adaat….

Yes like most feudal families, with great power came lust, the villagers of the Garh were well taken care of until the eyes of a Thakur fell on their daughters or daughter in –law once attracted no villager could refuse to send their daughter to warm the bed of the Thakur, it did not matter if he was married or not, if they flouted his desire, they could say goodbye to their comfortable living. The Thakur's of Garh including their co-brothers took immense pride if they could win girls from the other villages to warm their bed, yes they had no qualms in sharing a girl, it was more fun to go on hunts together is other's land.

+++++

Jai was not a virgin, living in a free society like USA, he did have his share but then his mother was very strict, she could not stop him but kept harping that you will not take any girl out only for sex or just don't sleep around for heck of it…

Radhe was arranging his bed, jaldi sow jana, kal subah se there is puja and you have to do the special snan, Tilak is almost like marriage, long procedure…..Radhe looked up to see his master looking out of the window frowning hard…..

Kuch chahiye aapko….mai kuch lao aapke liye….

Keya la sakte ho mere liye…..Jai asked a bit irritatedly, Radhe's non stop chatter was getting on his nerves….

Radhe looked at his eyes…..he knew instantly what Jai wanted…..

Yu kahe toh sabhi kar sakta hu, he replied in a grave voice but what you want today is a bit difficult to get, as Bade Thakur is overseeing the preparations of the Tilak, unke nazaar bacha ke lana thora mushkil hai aur…..

Jai raised his brow….

I mean not that he will stop lekin mujhe unse thora dar lagta hai….aur woh mujhe kaha hai ki I should ensure that you go to bed early….

Jai cursed and went into the bathroom, he went to bathroom, he needed a cold shower…..as he stood under it he kept remembering Pia haunting beauty, her sexy laughter and her husky smell, Oh god am I bewitched already, what is wrong with me, he tried to recall his mother's warning about the ruthless sexual life his forefathers were famous for…..the times have changed, Jai you should control your lust, don't let the lust control you….his mother's voice suddenly sounded very far and very faint….

++++++++

Udit Chauhan was furious, Shashank what is this, even with you on my side I could not get hold of him whereas that woman Sita Devi, she is setting up her net, Pia served him dinner…..

Shashank was upset, there was nothing wrong in Pia serving dinner but Sita Devi was not fond of Jai's mother and Pia was the most sought after girl in the Garh….

How dare she uses Pia, Bade Thakur will be upset, doesn't Sita know the rule of the Garh….Shashank fumed

What rule? Jai's father has broken it before and then everything is fair in love and war…Bade Thakur might be upset with Sita Devi but he cannot throw her out….he does not have the power….Udit exclaimed….

Shashank calmed down, yes you are right, Jai likes me but then I am no woman, I guess we have to become more careful…

I too have a daughter and she is not bad looking either…..Udit remarked curling his moustache….

Shashank darted a glance toward Udit…..Will you put Roshni into this …..

Why not Shashank think about the immense power we will gain when this last heir is gone or comes to our side, my family will become the 'Garh', with its contacts, Garh has the power to topple government in the centre even, remember when Raghu was arrested in Dubai with drugs….well one word from the Garh got him out scot free….

In a bloodless coup they want to take control over the Garh, sap bhi mare lathi bhi na tute…
