Naku wrapped her arms around his neck….aaj raat ko tu mujhe nehi rokegi, I want to give myself to you, he said in her ears as he heard the cars driving in….

Damodar opened his eyes, he was dreaming about his son, what a handsome man he turned out to be, mera beta who will believe…must have taken after his mother, how did she look, Damodar tried to remember but then his memory failed him …he saw Datta standing looking angrily at him and then asking his wife to sit down so that they can proceed with the puja….uski biwi….Damodar sat up, opening the drawer he took out the envelope….Nakusha Datta Patil…Naku baith ja…Damodar recollected Dutta directing his wife…Naku from Nakusha but this Nakusha does not have any similarity with the Nakusha he saw the mandir…

What is the meaning of this? What is her photograph doing in the hands of those men….how can a girl be both ugly and pretty at the same time….makeup can do wonders he knows but then why would Nakusha need makeup or makeover…and such a drastic makeover…kyu….why? Dutta's life is always in danger…ha ha people call him 'data Dutta' but then he does have too many enemies and what if the girl has been implanted by one of them? Damodar could not sit still anymore, he called out to his man servant and asked him to get the car ready….

His sisters were briefing Dutta what they saw in the market and what they got…Bhau you missed it, things are so cheap here…yeh dekh yeh churi agar mai Mumbai me kharidta I would have been triple the price…dekh kitna achha hai na? Roops showed her shopping to her brother…Leelavati too, Kala was still sulking sitting it the corner…Nakusha watched them, who would say a little while ago in this very room the atmosphere was totally different….suddenly Nakusha felt Dutta's eyes on her…catching her eyes he smiled fleetingly, Nakusha lowered hers….Dutta got up, going upto Kalavati, he kissed her on her forehead…gussa nehi karte Tai, I know you did not mean it….your intentions were good….

Dutta….Kishore muttered….

Kishore it is between us you stay out….

Kishore shook his head and went out….

++++++

Anna's men looked at each other with bored expression…kya chalta rehta hai Anna ki dimag me…saradin pagalo ki tarah ghumna aimlessly, how long one can like that…the old man is sick, several complications, heart, liver, lungs kuch bhi theek nehi chalta, why run after such a man now, he will be of more trouble than help…

++++

Naku was in the terrace picking up dried clothes, thinking of the incidents happened after they reached here….she has got closer to her husband, tonight he wants to…..today she got to know of his past, his pain, today she saw the family fighting and getting together, Naku watched the village…thank you for inviting us here she said to herself, after tonight my life will take another turn, I will become someone's wife in reality also…meri ayi kitna khush ho jayegi…..from behind a pair of hands hugged her….rubbing his beard on her shoulders he asked…kaha kaha dhundhna parta hai tujhe….

Kya kar rahe ho Sahab koi dekh lega…..Naku tried to release herself…turning her round to face him, he pressed himself to her, she felt his desire…chal bhag chalte hai…

Kaha? Naku's started having goose bumps….

Tu bol kaha jana chahati …Dutta asked as he pushed back her hair….

Naku kept her hands on his chest…he caressed them, fingered her bangles…chal tujhe kuch churiya kharid ke deta hu….

Kya faida aisa jane me…hamare peechhe peechhe 10 admi jayenge aur udhar jane se….

Ek kaam karte hai, everybody is resting now…you put on your colour back and let me do something with myself and then lets go out, there is still time for the sun to set….

Naku beamed it was indeed a good idea…they crept down from the terrace to get themselves ready…

++++++

Damodar's aids looked worried as Damodar walked out of his room….where do you want to go in this condition, doctor said complete rest…

I think Dutta is in trouble, somebody planted a mole in his house in form of his wife….yeh dekh…he showed them the photograph of Naku….whereas the girl we saw with Dutta….

Malik, Dutta is capable of taking care of himself….woh kya yuhi shaadi kiya….

Damodar shook his head…nehi …you all don't understand, he is my son and must be having weakness for beautiful women and if the mole happens to share your bed things get more dangerous….

Theek hai humlog sab chalte hai aapke saath…anyway they will not let you enter their house …jor jabardasti karna parega….

Hmmmmm…chal sab…

Bajirao was sitting in the courtyards and trying to sleep, the house was quiet and in the hall some of their men were taking rest, as it is their snores kept him awake most of the last night but then Baji was worried…Anna is here for sure as there were reports that a group of people speaking in foreign language has been roaming around the area for the last few days…..can be seen in the tea stalls and dhabas….for they were not attacking anyone, keeping to themselves….

Can it be Anna and his men? Bajirao waved away the fly which was disturbing him to squint and see where it landed when he saw Naku in her former self tiptoeing out of the house, Baji sat up, she kept a finger on her lips, calling out for someone behind her…when the person came forward….Bajirao stood up yeh kaun hai, he felt for his pistol tucked in the waistband…

Chup chap baithja baji hum thora Naku to lekar ghumne ja rahe hai….hearing his voice, Baji tried to control his laughter but then Dutta was glaring at him…

Rukh ja Bhau, let me smuggle you out…Baji called the security from the gate and started briefing them, holding Naku's hand Dutta ran out from their own house….

+++++

Anna's men who were keeping a watch on Damodar had fallen asleep out of boredom….when Damodar's car went past them one of them partly opened his eyes to see the back of the car…the man is sick, must be going to bring the doctor once again….doctor a rahe hai, dawai a rahe hai but still we are made to sit and waste our time here…he closed his eyes again and went back to sleep…

++++

They skipped their way to the market, it was late afternoon, the roads empty.. holding hands, like Naku, Dutta too applied colour, wearing tight jeans and 'T'shirt and a cap, the uniform his guards wore and at times he too when he wanted to disguise himself a bit and get information on something….the colour did wonders Dutta noticed, it transformed his total look…the idea was Naku's and she applied on him with deft fingers, after all she was an expert on this, years of practice…Nakusha watched Dutta looking excited, his eyes sparkling, he looked happy, she somehow did not want to raise the topic of his father and spoil his mood…maybe after they return….

Kis kis rang ki churiya chahiye tujhe, Dutta asked….

Nakusha listed her preferences….

And what else….

Nakusha stated she would to buy something for her mother and brother…

Aur tere Baba ke liye?

Unke liye ek daru ki bottal hone se sabse khush hoga....Nakusha giggled....

Dutta threw his head and laughed and then clutching his head he fell on his knees....

Naku too was gagged before she realized what was going on…..

Put her into the car, abhi bhanda phorta hu iski…a familiar voice instructed..

+++++

Before he lost his senses, Dutta saw Naku being shoved into a car….
