Part-22 THE PARTY

After settling everyone's luggage, all started for Panchgani. At last moment PL and Mishraji dropped as they were having other appointments, leaving them to enjoy their excursion. Alaap accepted to come there due to Prachi's force. Though the journey was long, everyone enjoyed the journey comfortably in a Qualis, which Shah's owned it for frequent family excursions. Alaap sat quietly in the front seat, near the driver's seat, he was uninterested in involving in the enjoyment. Milind, Ayesha, Neev and Prachi made themselves comfortable in the backseats. Milind was taking glances of Prachi, from time to time. Sukruthi was forced to sit with Nandini and Karan who were stting in the middle seats. Rithwik was taking rest after entertaining everyone with his newly invented words. "hey, Milind please you go that side and ask Ayesha to come here na'''..", before Neev could continue, an apple flung towards and hit him on his face. Everyone were shocked to see Ayesha's reaction. 'now what's the matter Ayesha", intervened Karan , turning back and making himself comfortable. "nothing bhaiyya, he is irritating me, and I just threw this apple", "are you gone mad, Ayesha you hit me, none other than your husband''..ouch" Neev groaned in pain. "how come these both fell in love with each other, everytime I see, they will be fighting horribly", grinned Milind and before Milind could complete the sentence fully'.he heard another growl. Now it was Ayesha. He saw her rubbing her nose and Neev was literally laughing holding his stomach. "I'm gonna get mad with this people here. I'm going to change my seat", Milind slightly got up but Neev pulled him back.

Next minute Karan made Ayesha to exchange their places and Karan joined the other three in the back seat. The journey continued. Prachi dozed on Karan's lap and Karan and Neev also dozed off leaning to the window pane. Milind tried to sleep but he could not take away his eyes from Prachi for second also. She was looking innocent in her sleep. It almost evening when they reached Panchgani. As it was a hilly area, chillness already spread at that area already and making the fog to cover the area very early. When they reached their farmhouse it was almost night. The farmhouse covered a vast area on the land, it just looked like a old haveli of the landlords. After Inder left that haveli, he renovated the house into a farmhouse and visited it with his family during vacations. The house was just modernized one with a swimming pool, a big flower gardern with rare variety of flowers present. In the middle of the garden situated a dome like shed from where a small artificial stream starts with the bridge over it, a few types of fish were grown in the stream. At the other end of the bridge was the tent like structure used for campfire. A few servant quarters were at the back of the haveli were a watchman, gardener and a housekeeper lived with their families, just to take care of the farmhouse.

Karan took Milind and Neev for showing them around the house while others started taking things inside and getting refreshed. The house was big one. The entrance tooks to the verandah before entering into the great hall. The look of the house has an antic look that of the palace. The stairs led to the rooms and guest rooms. Everyone went to their rooms. Sukruthi and Prachi shared a room. Alaap as usual wanted to be alone, so he had a room all by himself and also Milind. The week passed very soon. Daily they enjoyed the beautiful secenery and at night in the front of the campfire discussing about their interests, likes and dislikes. Alaap always excused himself from these and was always away from these. Milind's curiousty, was increasing day by day, seeing Alaap's strange behaviour. He thought that Alaap was just hiding away from him, as he was afraid of him. But he was staying away during these vacation days, instead of enjoying them. This made him more curious, he found that something was going fishy behind him.

In the admist of dilemma, enjoyment and curiousity, Prachi's birthday had arrived. This day was a big day for everyone in the family as she was the youngest of everyone. They never ignored that day, and saw that it was a grand affair. Just like the every year, this year they decided to celebrate it more grandly. Being a big house, the prepartions for the celebration started a week ago, so the preparations could be perfectly made on that day. Everyone in the small town were invited. Special instructions for food preparations were given by Nandini. She took care of everything concerned to PRachi, from the day she became Karan's wife. Alaap was stopped from going out, but Alaap was not interested being around the house. Ayesha became more curious than Milind after the sudden change in his behaviour after Prachi's accident. But as she was more concerned for Prachi, she brushed of the matter thinking that she would talk to him after going back to Mummbai. Little does she know that something worst was going to happen two days after this.

On the day of Prachi's birthday, the house was decorated with lights, it was as if some wedding was going. Guests were all waiting for Prachi. Heavy security was installed around the house and CCTV's were placed, and the cameras were placed in every corner of the great hall were the party was arranged. Nandini was helping Prachi to get her ready, as she was wearing a saree for first time. It was gifted by her mother, who was not able to make up for her birthday, as the weather in Panchgani suddenly became worst that day and PL could not withstand that weather. Inspite of bad weather everyone attended the party. Everyone there were getting introduced to everyone, suddenly everyone looks towards the stairs. They held their breathe seeing Prachi. Prachi was looking stunningly beautiful in the saree. No one could eyes away from her for even a second. She was wearing peech colour, georgette and crush mixed with a heavy sequence and embroidery work. the anklets sounds was making everyone alert. Admist this milind was staring at her without blinking his eyes, fearing that he might miss a single moment of hers. "is looking gorgeous", Milind turns his head to see whose voice was that. "come on, Milind open up atleast now, don't try to hide this from me. I knew this one, that you both are in love with each other." Milind pops out his eyes. Karan understands his confusion. "I am Prachi's brother and I took a lot of care after my father, like a father. Anything can't be hidden from me, I had read her eyes. Her eyes says everything." "I was just waiting to talk with baba and ask aunty for marrying her Karan. I thought aunty would come today, but she didn't make up today." "ok then when we'll reach Mummbai, the next moment onwards we start these talkings ok." Milind simply nods his heads with a smile on his face.

After cutting the cake, and wished by everyone the actual party had started with the couple dance. The first one were to start was Ayesha and Neev. Everyone were shocked to see them together, as they were fighting till then. Prachi was standing with Karan and was getting introduced to the guests. Milind made his way towards them. "hi, Prachi, your looking gorgeous today." Prachi sees Karan's face and smiling "thanks Milind." "ok guys you both enjoy, I'll just see that the food is prepared or not." Karan excused himself and moves towards Nandini. Seeing him going, Milind stands in front of Prachi, facing her and streches his hand. "can I have the pleasure of dancing with you princess." Milind was eagerly waiting for her answer. "yeah, I will", a small curve of smile appears on his face. He slowly and gracely leads her to the dance floor holding her hand. Once they were on the dance floor everyone present there stops dancing, inorder to see them dancing. The lights become dim, and the flashlight was on them, constantly moving with their moves. A sweet and romantic number starts and they start dancing.
(Chaand ne kuch kaha from dil tho pagal hai)
Hey hey oh ho ho ho ho

Neither Prachi nor Milind could take their glances away from each other. They were fully involved in the dance, that they didn't care what was going around them.
Oh ho ho pyaar kar
Hey hey la la la la la
Ho ho hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Pyaar kar
Ho ho ho pyaar kar
Pyaar kar
Ho ho ho pyaar kar

meantime Alaap slowly made his way outside the house. As everyone were interestingly involved in seeing their dance, they didn't care about it. As the song came to an end everyone clapped their hands joyfully after witnessing the romantic dance

Part 23 The mystery unfolded

He made his way through the woods, he hid behind the darkness of night. He made his long way through the woods, halting here and there, making sure that no one were following him. He stops in front of the a thatched house, he enters into it and shuts the door with full force. But still he could hear the sound of the band played in the Shah's farmhouse. He really hated that. He occupies the arm chair and relaxes on it. Now the sound was becoming more louder and unbearable for him. He went to the self and opening it, he takes a bottle of beer and a glass. But he throws the glass with a rage of anger. Opens the bottle and completes it with a glup, without breathing. He justs throws it on the broken glass, making more sound of the breaking glass'''''''. After few minutes, there are three more broken bottles scattered around the room. He laid aimlessly on the armchair. His palm was bleeding badly, which the broken glass had cut deep into his palm. He took a white cloth and bandaged it. He then takes a dart from the near table and hits the dart board. It goes straight through the bull's eye, which was replaced with a photo.

He wakes with the ringing of the cell. He pick up. "yeah bhaiyya, I'm'''''. I 'm at my friend's house. I'll be there after few hours." He disconnects the cell and crashes it on the ground, breaking it into pieces. (it's a purely monologue from here)
"I hate it, really hate it." He started shouting hysterically. "What had happened till now, Alaap Shah just hates it. I hate everyone. No one are mine. I'm tired of all these nautankis, nautankis for money. I hate my father, he just threw me out of his will'''. I waited all these years for the money. But you failed all my plans Milind Mishra." He points his hand towards the dart board, now the photo can been seen. The photo in the bull's eye was none other than Milind's pic. He turns to the other side picks up the photo and stares at it for sometime. He then goes towards the dart board, faces the photo in his hand towards Milind's photo. "do you love her''..sighs. I know it and I also know you wanted to marry, her, marry my sister. Lets see what happens. You always mess up with me." He looks at the photo in his hands. "your so innocent than I ever thought. You never except this caring brother, once will be the reason for your death. Will you forgive na, Prachi. I know you will definetly because, you will die and never know who killed you. Hmmmmmmmm. I thought like that", his voice sddely raises. "why didn't die that day Prachi. I would be be out of this stress. Atleast I would get your Fixed Deposit money and enjoy my life. Why can't you understand your brother's feeling. It's not your mistake Prachi. I shouldn't be careless with you. I shouldn't allow you'll both to meet on Ayesha's wedding. Shit!", he crashes one more bottle on the ground. "my plans are all failed. failed from the time of boarding school. I was happily having affair with a richest princess, she was my ATM card, all this is because of you Milind I have to kill her. Either you would not have told the truth to her or there would be no necessary of killing her all by myself. After that I begged you Milind, I begged you not to tell this to my dad. But you told him and he, he threw me out of his will jut throwing with Rs 5 lakhs and keeping the rest 15 crores to that Prachi. When time came to finish her, again you came in the middle. I knew" he again points his finger towards the photo. "I knew that, being Ayesha's friend you never come to this house. But I definetly knew that you may bump into Prachi and fall in love with her. Do you think Milind, it's you fate Milind, when you missed meeting Prachi in a matter of second even though you both were near to each other. You fools think so. It was all my play, Milind. I heard everything what Ayesha and Neev were planning, I thought this should not happen. It's all the part of my plan. Do think your manager called you,when you were entering Shah house, during Ayesha's haldi function. Hemmmmm, it's me'''.." he lets out a wicked laugh. "it was me, I don't want you to enter the house and meet Prachi. What did you think the lights were off in the garden during Ayesha's function. Do you think becoz of the short circuit? Ahhhh no, it was me, it was me. I was happy. I thought, I would keep eyes on you'll both and see that you never met on the wedding. But that failed. if that Karan did not screw me in that dinning hall, you would have never met. Now see Milind, I was waiting for time to come so I could take revenge on you. See Milind without any struggle, I can just beat you now, as I know your weakness, it's none other than Prachi. If I kill Prachi, I will surely get that FD money which is going to be matured now the double times and see you fluttering like a dead fish just out of the water seeing Prachi's death. Ufffffffff there's a saying Na Milind,, one shot, two birds. Just llike that, killing Prachi means me getting 30 crores and seeing you crying for her and inviting your death." He goes to the table at the end of the room and opens a drawer and removes a gun and the bullets. He loads the gun with the bullets, and sets the bullets. Pointing to the Prachi's picuture frame on the wall, and pulls the trigger. The glass on the frame breaks with a ear deafing sound. "now I just targeted your picture, Prachi and now it's going to yoooouuuuuuu''''.. now no one is going to help you from dying."


Meanwhile in the farmhouse, the guests left one by one after the party. Sukruthi went to bed as soon as the party was over. She could not resist the tiredness that overcame her. Nandi, forcefully, rounded red mirchi's around her just to ward her off from the evil eyes, that fell on prachi during the party and made her sleep comfortably. The other members assembled in hall. Karan sarted watching the tennis match that had just started that lae hour and Milind also joined him, as he was not getting sleep. Nandini, took Rithwick who slept on Karan's lap in her arms and went into the room. Just then Neev and Ayesha stepped down. They were still in their party dress. "hey what's up Neev and Ayesha are you'll both partying till tomorrow morning." Teased milind. "plz milind make yourself serious. This is not the time to joke." Milind could sense that something is wrong with Ayesha. But he could see the same expression of worrying on Neev's face. "bhaiyya I and Neev are leaving for Mumbai now only", Milind didn't understand what was going on. He didn't understand why they were in such a hurry to go back to Mumbai at that late hour. "hey come on Ayesha, what's the time now and you want to travel now. Why don't you'll wait till morning. Actually I'm some important work, why don't we leave morning." "no problem, it's very urgent that's why." Neev interrupted in the middle. "if, its like this I'll also come with you'll now." "no Milind, we don't want to bother you at this late hour. Actually it's the matter of an hour work and again we'll be back." "and for traveling Ayesha. It's takes more than 6 hours. Why do you both want to take that much stress'.." Karan asked, who till then was watching the match, hearing them he switches off and turns towards them." Ayesha looked at him with pleasing eyes. "ok if you still insists you can leave now. But be careful the weather seems to get worst. If this is so stop in the midway and get booked your self in a hotel room. Don't dare to drive in that weather." Warned Karan. Both of hurried without telling a formal goodbye to anyone. Everyone went to their respective rooms to get some peaceful sleep before their day had started. Milind, on the other hand could not sleep well. His tired had overcome by some worry. He didn't understand properly what was going around him suddenly on that day. At first he noticed Alaap's sudden disappearance, then worried faces of his friends made him more uncomfortable. Another thing was worrying him more than this two things that happened today. That was Prachi's words, he still didn't forget that words. The harder he tried to solve the puzzle it was getting more difficult to get out of this. He thought to talk with Neev and Ayesha when he reached Mumbai later that day. He forcefully shut his eyes so he could get some sleep.

It was morning, Karan had already woke up and was reading the local newspaper. The main paper was full of Prachi's birthday details, at one place they mentioned about business tycoon's sister 's birthday, someother place mentioned about the guy she had danced with. Other place was the full family photo, under it was mentioned about Alaap's missing in the pic. Milind sat opposite to Karan, and tea was readily served from him. They saw Alaap coming from the entrance in the early morning. He was slowly tip toeing inside, but freezed when he heard a voice from his behind. "where were you all night. Don't you have some sense when you left your sister's party. What does she thinks when she knows that you were not there." Karan did not bother to lift his head from the newspaper. 'like''''.. I'''' like my friend'''.. met with an accident a few miles away, he was admitted in the hospital, so I went to see him." "ok, who is he" "he's fine bhaiyya". Milind didn't understand why Alaap's head was bent down, avoiding the eye contact from Karan. He did not show any exprerssions on his face, and sat normally. "ok then go and take rest." Before Karan gave some other instructions Milind could see Alaap running into his room without looking back. Once in his room, Alaap, lifted his shirt and took the gun that was tucked in his trousers. He looks at it again and locks up in his wadrobe. He goes in the washroom and turns the shower on, the ice cold water hit him, but he did not make any expressions, he just stood down there thinking about something deeply. He comes out of the shower, and ties a towel around him "today is your day, Prachi", he mutters and goes out.

It was 10'oclock in the morning. The fog is getting of slowly, inviting the sunrays to fall everywhere. Praachi had come down. Sleep did not vanish from her eyes. She came and lazily hugged Karan. "what my princess had already woke up. You should have slept for some time." Nandini handed over her the tea. She sat beside Milind. "no bhaiyya, I'm ok." She sees Milind busily working on the laptop. "what am I hearing. Why are you leaving so soon, Milind bhaiyya." Everyone including Milind once lifts teir heads and sees towards the stairs from where the voice came from. Prachi shifts her looks towards Milind who was angrily staring at Sukruthi. "what Milind, what Sukruthi was saying is true. Why are you leaving so soon, what's the problem with you." "actually, Milind should go yesterday night, but he felt that it would be better if he leaves after telling you. He'll be back before tomorrow morning don't worry." Milind thought Karan had saved him.

Milind left the place, after having breakfast. Karan's mobile started ringing after Milind left. It was Ayesha. Before he could tell hello, the voice on the other side didn't allow him to speak. "listen bhaiyya, don't allow Prachi to go anywhere alone. It's my request. We'll be coming by tomorrow morning with Milind and explain you everything." And the phone gets disconnected. "she's gone crazy" Karan muttered under his breath. Milind was coolly driving the car, remembering the times he spent with Prachi, alone. This picnic he could come a bit close to her. He was bit irritated that he would be away from her for almost a day. Suddenly he puts sudden breaks to the car and takes a reverse gear towards the hotel on the highway. He parks the car and goes inside the hotels asks something and moves towards the rooms. He comes and stands in front the certain room. With seriouness in his face, taking a deep breath, he place his palm to knock the door, but finds that the door is not looked, he pushes the door open. He hears "prachi's life is in danger," Ayesha shouting at Neev and Milind stands there shocked.

Composing himself, "what , why is Prachi's life is in danger." The voice from the entrance startled both Ayesha and Neev, which made them to look at the entrance where they saw Milind standing there with a clenched fist. He made his way into the room. "what hell you both are doing here. You'll both should be in Mumbai by now. But you are in this hotel till now." He looked at his watch. "it's already 12'oclock and you". "actually I wasn't to tell you '''.", Ayesha caught Neev's hadn stopping him to move futher. "it's better we tell the truth, Ayesha it's not possible for us to hide it from him, if he have the half truth." Ayesha tiredly nodded her head. "yes, Milind you have heard it right, Prachi's life is in danger. Yeah. And you know who's behind this'. It's none other than Alaap." "what'..", Milind jumped in shock. "yeah what Neev was telling is right. This was when, Prachi met with an accident. Neev was sure that it was not a pure accident so we hired a detective to investigate it. Yeah we knew it was Alaap, after the few days of that accident. But we could not tell anyone becoz we didn't have strong evidence against him." "one night", Neev continued "we had the heated argument whether to tell you or to Karan bhaiyya." "and Prachi, accidently heard half of the argument that night." Milind interrupted Neev. "how do you know about this"Ayesha asked him in a rather shocked expression. "she told something like this that she did not like to pu my life in danger. She was ignoring me for one month and when forced her to what had happened she just told this and after that she didn't open her mouth." Ayesha slumped down on the bed. "and according to him today Alaap would attack any moment." "Milind where is Alaap?", he heard Ayesha's loud whisper. "oh, no", Milind hits his forehead "he's at home when I left and even Prachi is at home. Come on guys we don't have time now hurry up." "Milind are you gone crazy we are almost half way down and we need to go back as soon as possible." "comeon for what are waiting now." Neev, Milind and Ayesha rushed towards the parking place.
