Mishal Raheja as Dutta Patil

Fettered Affection ~Chapter 26

" give salutations to my sportive blood."..Shakespeare

Arghhh.. groaned Dutta as he moved his head side to side upon one of his head cushions. Baji ran to the decanter with a view to offer Dutta a drink.. Dutta with semi closed eyes slurred in a tedious long drawn voice, "my clothes blood.. Baji! la ke ah !. Baji had already started pouring the drink.. Baji! kapre change kar ! khoon hai!, Dutta closed his eyes as he heard the glug! glug! sound of his drink being made, how it propelled of the bottle neck. Baji moved over to Dutta with the drink. His friend was in discomfort he could see, what with the way Bhau's fist was clenched so hard that his knuckles had gone pale.. his jaw line clamped so hard it shook his head. He suddenly relaxed and his mouth pulled in air, then straightaway expelled it as well as his belly sank.Baji daren't move him , instead he placed the drink by his bed side table peeked briskly at Bhau .. he seemed at rest.This then for Baji had to be the instant when he had to get the one who would nurse him plus give him some tlc if required.

As discreetly as possible the need of the hour was to get his blood stained kurta replaced with a clean one..once that was done, Baji headed for the annexe and crept to Naku's room.

He felt such a fool, at this hour in the servants quarters as he groped around the dark.. thank heavens her window was open.. Naku was one who would be told off later for keeping her window open at night vowed Baji , but for now it was a boon. He could see she was asleep.. on her side. Baji acted fast, he was on his own too luckily, so he looked at the ground and found a small stone. This would have to do. He aimed ,and one throw caught her in the back and startled! she sat up in bed.

Baji, made sounds with his voice to attract her attention. Alarmed she slipped on her flip flops and went towards the door. No time wasted, for this was no place to have a conversation, Baji walked with her through the main hall and informed her, "it's Bhau not too good..phir kuch ho gaya hai use" he briefed her.

Naku stopped in her tracks, "what has happened is he hurt again? she panicked. Baji looked at her and urged, "come to his room, check for yourself.Naku followed Baji up and literally barged into Saab's room.. he lay on his bed, bare chested on his back.. with his black trousers, his shoes still on ,one leg strewn on the bed whilethe other half dangled off the edge of his bed.

Baji looked at Bhau's bloody black pathiani flung on the floor in a heap.. and he kicked it aside discreetly. He curved his arm and felt his chin..and mused.. chalo good thing Bhau took off his bloody shirt otherwise he would have looked a sight.. he turned to Naku and said , "you tend to him I'll be down the corridor in my room..Naku nodded quietly, reversed and closed the door behind him.

Naku heard him he groaned and his head moved.. she tried not to look at his bare from the torso upwards body.. a line of hairy fluff ran upwards .. then stopped near his belly button..but carried on and spread across his chest, in a mat of curly black shiny hairs ..

Naku, blushed, she would have to maintain decency.. it's ok for him he was not all there, otherwise he was the sort of man who would keep his bits to himself.. she bit her lower lip.. She needed to dress him up ..but stopped short as her eyes trailed blow his torso and it was hard to ignore ,that his shoe's were still on.

She changed her mind about fetching his kurta and instead leaned down and gently gripped his taut upper leg that nearly touched the floor. With a slight heave she brought it up along the bed and laid it on the bed. He growled and attempted to raise his head.. kya hai? Baji! .. Naku , just ignored him and pulled of his black ankle boot , and let it fall to the ground with a gentle thud. She gripped the upper rib of his sock and along with it perhaps caught the hairs on his leg which made him jerk and he yelped..ahh! and immediately in his not with it state,he creased up his leg up and shouted feebly, "leave me alone! how the hell did you end up here? and his eyes moved slightly befuddled , "Baji kahan hai?.. Naku, whispered "it's ok just calm down, don't work yourself up , here let me pull your other shoe off".. nahin!! he yelled "I can do it myself and he doubled his other knee up to his chest and with a twist to his arm and a tug of the hand he pulled of the boot chucked it across the bed, raised his arm and pulled and threw his other sock to the front of the bed.. Naku looked at his actions and gulped calmly at him.. but he looked at her and wagged his forefinger at her, "nope leave off! I'll do the rest! tere help nehin chaiye!.. and he dug his heel into the bed and stretched his arm and attempted to haul himself on the bed... a little embarrassed he was for shunning her kind attention at this god forsaken hour,so Dutta looked gently across at her. She barely sat on the end of his bed.. she noticed his gaze upon her and felt it was time to get up and leave him to it..

Naku nodded and said gently, "I'll get you a fresh clean kurta.

While she went to the cupboard he stretched his arm and his wide palm closed around the whiskey tumbler and she stood at the foot of his bed, "surely you are not going to drink are you Saab"? he couldn't be bothered to reply and she too nearly tipped on the black heap at the end of his bed... she looked at it..it was probably be meant to be shoved under the bed end but somehow got missed.. she suspected.

Hence,out of curiosity she bent her knees and picked up the black piece of clothing it was undoubtedly his black pathiani shirt.. she held it before her self and saw the ends were stained with blotches of what seemed blood.. she whirled towards him, pathiani held in hand by it's shoulders, her eyes almost popping out!"Saab! she shouted "ye kya hai blood covered clothes! Dutta slowly turned his head towards her, whisky glass in hand,"mera shirt hai.. what else? sometimes I wonder tu kaise rehab officer bun gaye".. Naku held up the shirt, and from behind it hissed, "don't try to change the topic , tell me about this blood whose is it? Dutta dragged his outer leg off the bed and the other one too, and lowered both his legs over the edge of his bed.. and Naku shouted, "Saab don't get up..Dutta raised his palm to the side and said quietly, "Naku don't worry, it's my blood.. from my calf.. kaise dossere ka nehi! mera khoon hai.. Naku mutters, if it's another's then its more of a worry".. he goes , "oh stop being so melodramatic! He snubbed her..

Naku knew not to argue, she had learned to accept his statements however woolly they sounded, take his word for it.. so she held the pathiani on her arm and said, "ok Saab I'll see to it that it's laundered but first I need to rinse off the blood stain from it.. Dutta heard her go into his bathroom , and he held his head down..of all the people that he withheld his real trade from.. with holding the truth from Naku give him the most discomfort. He dug his fingers into the edge of the mattress where he sat and clenched his jaw.. but really and truly , he shouldn't forget that he wanted to be with her but she rejected him, so his mushiness towards has to be checked.. He hauled his bottom back up and rested his back against the bed rest.. she yelled from the bathroom, Saab!you drinking? irritated he said vehemently, "yes I am , mujhe dard hai mera leg mein so yes to relief pain I will take a few sips ,do you mind? he asked dryly. She just looked at him blankly as she returned from the bathroom rubbing her palms dry... and he sipped and then set the tumbler back on the side table.. with a low ahhghh! and also added, "even if you tell me not to Naku, I am not listening to you! so save your breath and your lectures. Naku passed him the white folded kurta which he took without much complaint.Naku had already decided that she wouldn't meddle in his way of life . She was here , how can she tell him,only on account of Baji! yes courtesy of him she was in this kill joys's room , to tend to him...look at his dastardly moods.

She watched as he pulled the kurta over his head and it became jagged as he shoved one arm through the sleeve and then the other.. his collar was completely undone and he folded his chin and started to do up his buttons as Naku fixed the bed cover ready to be pulled up..

As she raised her head, her eyes froze on his hands and she blurted as she neared him, Saab, aap ke haat, these knuckles..what happened..? he looked into her eyes.. leave me alone! haat!..she jerked back as his sharp gaze pierced her defensively .. but soon enough he lowered his eyes turned aside his face from her scrutinising eyes.. he bit his lip and mused it was becoming increasingly cumbersome to misconstrue before her.. he took a deep breath and replied, kuch nehi hai Naku , just a few grazes.. got into a petty skirmish, nothing to make a song and dance about, a dab of antiseptic should fix it.. Naku went humm , as she saw his big bold school boy looks, "pata hai Saab you remind me of a sorry looking boy who gets hurt at school all the time woh, calamity joe type.. he shook his shoulders gently as he very nearly chuckled , and mused, act flippant Dutta nehi tu she'll come down on you with her barge of questions.. act abnormal be niceee to her...he minced his jaw.

But his sense of complacency was pricked soon, "waise ap ne batya nehi ye kaise hoya? I mean did you get into fisticuffs with someone, burglars .. again? I am sure you have a tall tale to tell, she asked with a cheeky eyes.. he turned his face towards her calmly, why do you want to know? thesis lekhna hai thujhe?.. ya aur kuch kerne ko hai nehi tera pas so you decide, let me go and lick Saab's brain!.. Naku looked at him tenderly, "waise he just curious, your life seems so much more exciting than mine! my life Saab is full of drudgery.. Dutta bowed his head and replied slowly, "believe me Naku , you wouldn't want to be in my profession, very hard job , physically exhausting and emotionally debilitating.." she held on to his words with the hope he would continue but he parted his lips, sighed and then moved his eyes on face, "ab us graze pe kuch apply kare ge ya main khud karoon?". He doubled his side to get up and she noticed his black pathiani trouser stuck to his leg.. Naku pushed the knob of his knee flat.."Saab you are bleeding again.. just lie back and let me have a look.." she said as he moved his eyes and sank back again on the head pillows.. he bit his lip and groaned.. ahhh..Naku.. rolled his trouser up.. it did bled but now it had clotted blood around it , but the area round the old gash felt hot and it was clear it might be infected.. she looked up at him.. his eyes closed and his folded arm across his forehead.. she'd better not feel his brow to ascertain his body temperature.. he would resist for sure.. but she would suggest what she thought of the situation.

Saab , the good news is, that the bleeding has ceased , blood is coagulating around the gash.. however.. and she stopped. He moved his creased shoulder a bit, and asked, "bol Naku bad news kya hai? she said, "there might be infection, hence you need a doctor's prescription for antibiotics"... he flattened his arm on the bed and painstakingly raised his head and growled, "don't waste your breath , no doctor , no prescription.. have to fight this off myself.. like I did last time... waise bhi I am not a big fan of antibiotics, lowers the immune system! " Naku just zipped her mouth, it's not that she expected him to go along with her suggestion.. pity she mused, a course of antibiotic was the need of the hour.

Baji barged in and said, "Bhau how are you? pain any better.. Dutta nodded once, and Baji turned to Naku , "painkillers did you give him? and Dutta growled," why don't you bloody ask me! woh meri nurse nehin hai! Naku nodded, and Baji replied , "I know Naku is not your nurse but you fall sick every so often for her attention.. makes me wonder what is going on! Dutta raised his fist up from here he lay and yelled, "a lot will be going on! if you don't button that mouth of yours.. Baji looked at Naku , "there's no goodness left in this world anymore! see what happens when you stand up for what's right you end up in bed .. shot! blurted Baji and Dutta threw a spare cushion at him from where he lay with a loud roar! "Baji get out from here!! jab bole ga bikwas he kare ga!

Baji reversed out of the room in a hurry but signalled to Naku to meet him outside before he left. Naku went to Dutta's side , and picked up his drink to drain it and he growled as she turned to the loo.. oye! leave the drink were it was.. I need to relax so I can sleep.." she carried on and muttered, "for a good sleep I'll get you haldi milk.. you'll sleep like a baby.. and she gave him a look and then left him.. he closed his yes and lay on his side but returned to his back ,as he lay on the sore calf side.. "those jokers, gave me this! should have ended their pathetic existence altogether.! he rasped.

Naku slipped out of door and Baji called her to the side and asked how bad was Bhau's condition since he seemed in excruciating pain. Naku told him, the bleeding had stopped but he seemed hot and needed medical attention.. Baji before she went away to have her way, said clearly "hospital jane ka to tu bhol ja haan! Naku, but doctor I can call.. Naku he won't like it but we can try zayeeda se zayeeda doctor ko goli mar de ga ! he sniggered. Naku , thought it was a good idea , that Baji should get in touch with a primed doctor, who wouldn't ask further questions..

The doctor eventually showed up and behind him stood posted Naku and Baji, like his protectors .

He, checked Dutta' pulse, his temperature and then finally examined his wound.. he turned to look at Baji and commented, "looks to me some medical attention has already been given here, waise looks to me a gunshot wound. Dutta said defiantly, "haan goli lage the! kam, pe chor aye, had to do my duty cross shooting mein I got injured.. humm, Naku did the nursing.. . the doctor turned to Naku, you did a good job!. But Naku didn't seek praise she came to the point, "how is he? he seems unwell.. the doctor looked at Dutta who in turn glared at Naku as he reckoned she must have called the doctor, who turned to Naku , "he'll live ,bas he has a slight fever so to err on the side of caution, I'll prescribe antibiotics , to be taken at regular intervals.. and he reminded Dutta , no alcohol to be consumed while on the course of medicine..he clarified. Naku looked at Dutta and tried not smile.. but he gave her a piercing look and she left the room furtively.

The doctor stood to leave and Baji showed him out. Dutta palmed his stubble face and bellowed Baji! .. Baji popped back, "ho Bhau!.Dutta pushed his palms on the bed and propped himself up.. his face still writhed in pain he looked across to Baji, "Baji you do know that all this rubbish about do good and ending up like this.. band kar! Naku must not know what happened last night.. but I can assure you Baji woh itne yehre nehi jitni she looks, if you are not careful ,very soon she'll find out about our dhanda! Dutta warned.

Baji came towards the end of Dutta's bed and replied,"Bhau even if she does find out so what's the big deal! he said tongue in cheek. Dutta slanted his head and looked at Baji, "deal tu hai Baji she finds out then she will give me her endless bhashans of do's and don'ts and mujhe yehra buna de ge!". Baji looked downwards as he curved his arm and felt the back of his head..and mumbled, Bhau tu Naku ke bashan ke baghar bhi yehra he hai.. Dutta studied his friends face and said regretfully , tuna dekha na Baji , Naku ne meri darru band kera de hai.. honestly Baji this kali gori lardki fights a crusade with all the things I like to do.. mujhe peena pasand hai ,pun Naku hates it, I like my dhanda , and agar she finds out about it , tu she will order me to change it to! He growled as he banged his fist on the bed. Baji 's dimples showed up , "aree Bhau , you don't have to listen to her, she just resides in our home, ignore her don't talk to her.. Baji played the devil's advocate.. and Dutta growled nehin! I like talking to her! and he stopped , swerved his head, and raised his palm up. bas! Baji no more talk about her..

"about who? said Naku as she neared his bed side with the glass of warm turmeric milk.

Dutta blushed and lowered his head and said, "woh I was talking about Supriya have not spoken to her for sometime , must call her before she calls me for a session." he says neatly.. and then looked at the milk and said distastefully, "to skip having this milk.. he gulped, I would force myself to get better double quick, isi pe ke tu theek insan bhi bemaar par jaye! he grumbled. She held the glass under his face.. he took it and begin to sip it and Naku smiled, "Saab don't care kuch bhi bolo aap.. bas as, long as you drink it".. and she held the empty tray and left the room.. as a yawn escaped her mouth.

He checked the time it was past two am .. all three of them had missed a few hours of sleep due to him..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naku stood in the kitchen and Babi looked at her daughter, "ey Naku! ye kya hai ? you have dark circles under your eyes, neend nehin aea kya thujhe?. Naku turned to face her mother and helped herself to a sip of tea and spooned a bit of poha into her mouth. Babi covered her mouth with her pallu and went, ey! why you not eating properly? Naku nodded and urged her mother, "Aye just quickly give my tiffin , I have to rush, I am going by myself today.. Baji came late from work today so I am not waking him up.." and with that she picked up the prepared tiffin that her mother pointed to her..and dashed off..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside, it's was busier than usual, hordes of people instead of heading for work looked towards two pillars of of black smoke dwindling up wards to the skies. Amidst the deafening grating, griding put! put! noise of the rickshaws the sirens of fire engines wailed and whined..

Naku took herself to the bus top and picked up, bits and pieces of conversations. There were fires in the area one at a darru ada, and the other at some money lenders office. Not giving it much thought she boarded the bus and looked out of the window , as she travelled to work.. of recently since she became resident of Patil Nivas , Baji dropped her which was usual, but this reverting back to her old method of travel gave her a sense of independence once again. She felt the old power of being in control of her life, what if? But she wiped her brow she wouldn't be allowed to use a bus.. if Saab had his way , so the thought of even mooting the notion before him was shelved by her.

She closed her eyes briefly and his sight in pain last night, his clothes smudged in blood made her shift in her seat.. she was anxious about him.. she wished she could see with clarity what he was all about. Previously she considered that she could express herself readily before him, but now since Aye had dithered at the idea of her marrying him.. he had taken it to heart and erected battlements around himself.. ooohh wish she could smash them down and share with him her worries revolving around him. As much as she tried, a fear within, gnawed at her heart.

She suddenly realized she had reached the bus stop near her work place. ..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naku got to the office , there was a buzz going around small groups of three both male and female colleagues were engaged in some verbal exchanges. Naku went to her desk.. and waved to a couple of colleagues who in a way replied to her wave with a subdued nod. Naku looked at Bob's chair, he was not there , she recalled he would come in later as he had gone to visit another non- governmental organization that dealt with rehab services.

The voice level in the office was rising so Naku decided she had to address the issue of maintaining work level speaking tone.. she approached a group of workers, "is there a problem? can I help?..she offered politely, only to be snubbed, "actually Nakusha you cannot help even if you wanted to! you see you are part of his house hold?. Naku looked puzzled, "excuse me what are you talking about? will someone tell me? another rather militant colleague stated, "even if we told you Nakusha you wouldn't understand! , see you are not from the area.. well we are! and you know what! we live here too. anything that happens here does affect our emotional wellbeing. Naku calmly requested, "I do not mean to be disrespectful to how you feel.. it is fairly transparent to me that something has happened that has disturbed your way of living...in someway, but I implore you please elucidate".

One colleague eventually explained ,"look Nakusha, there have been two serious arson incidents in the area last night.. there is a lot of talk that the man called Dutta patil who is a local don in the area is responsible for them.

Naku's face fell with a thud! her hands turned clammy, her heart sank.. Saab don! Don! The word rammed her ears and she nearly fainted .. but held on to the desk as another shouted, "he did right! to start the fires, the beer bar was a hell house! nurturing wife bashers drunkards! he did right! another added," and that other place belonged to some leech who sucked the poor dry of every drop of blood in their bodies with his elevated self imposed interest rates!. But others yelled "he is not a saint either! he too is a dreaded name in the area! not a decent guy this Dutta the don is! he has raised an empire with god only knows what! no one knows what he does!! .. Naku recalls his night duty shifts and she raised her voice ,no! he works! in a garage! she yelled.. and some laughed "yes that is perhaps what he is circulated about himself in the area ! so he can look good and stay clean in the eyes of the law! Naku had tears in her eyes that stung.. and one of the girls remarked, "we understand Nakusha here every one knows that you and your family lives in his huge mansion so you will take his side and have no empathy with us locals! you stay well guarded in his house your life is not at risk! but ours is! it's not funny to live in terror of him! and his shoddy connections! some shout hope he gets caught! and is banged up! so we can live peacefully!

What in heaven's name is going on? this a work place and not some kind of public rally! bellowed Bob... and he said slowly and clearly, Dutta Patil is innocent till proven guilty.. and what is this the whole office charging on a colleague! what do you call this? let me tell you it's called bullying ! now all of you get back to work! you don't work here for free! he yelled

Bob, looked at Naku and said "get back to my desk and I'll get you a coffee..

Naku ran to the toilet and in the office, staff looked at each other and had a go at each other, what was the point of picking on her? it's not her fault that she lives in that man's house..said one of them...

In the toilet Naku burst into tears. She pressed her palms on her mouth , ensured her screams stayed down.. scream's of despair that tried to shoot out from the pit of her stomach which felt cramped with convulsions as her shoulders shook by her crying. She supported her near limp body against the toilet wall and gradually her petite frame sank lower till she sat on the tiled floor. She gathered her knees up and rested her folded arms on them.. she raised her head up and turned her green tearful eyes up and cried out.. Saab you lied to Naku.. about what you do and who you really are! how I was so blind I don't know? she chided herself but it is quite clear that Saab you never though much of me! I was never anything except some maid who works in your house hold.. she blew her nose , gathered herself and stood.. there is no room to doubt , Saab ne mujhe dhoka diya hai! ab mujhe bhi unhe kuch dena hai..

She blew her nose dabbed her eyes, gulped and came back to the office where a few shame faced, colleagues came towards her rubbing their palms, "look Nakusha, you are not at fault, but since you are associated with him , his family, so we let ourselves go.. no hard feelings." Naku gave a feeble smile and shook her head once , no hard feelings, you have a right your opinions, but still wanted to remind you that where there are people who are anti this don, you never know there might be people who support him too.. so I request you to keep an open mind.."she said gently.. but a militant local still stated loudly , "anybody half decent will not support him or his ways!

Naku was reminded again of his infamous name Dutta bhau and she felt fresh agony in her heart , and dewy eyed she came towards Bob's table.. "here he said as he gave her the cup of coffee.. Nakusha.. are you ok? Naku sniffed and nodded, "yes Bob, I am shaken but not fallen yet..she said slowly. Bob added, Nakusha , it's true there is surveillance report on Dutta Patil, he is Dutta Bhau the local powerful underworld.. feared yet revered by people Nakusha..he is a bit of a maverick, a robin hood figure who doesn't steal from the rich as such, but he is involved in many philanthropic acts...plus he does in a dissident manner, keep the other minor upcoming underworld dons under check..

Naku's heard his words silently, but refrained from any utterance.. she had her own bone to pick with Saab ..

Naku's mind was on something short, sharp and severe. She looked at Bob firmly with her big bold eyes and asked ,Bob have we got company flats allotted to employees?. Bob peered into her resolved big bold green eyes, and almost immediately knew what she had in mind, Nakusha, you're not?. Naku nodded , "seriously Bob it is something I am forced to consider, don't know how heavy it's going to be on the pocket but will look into it". she said adamantly. Bob looked kindly upon her and added, "look Nakusha , as your employer it is my business to offer you support where I can. For the moment , I do suggest that you avoid giving any knee jerk reactions ,discuss it with your immediate family , I take it they will be, or rather you will be living together? I'll see what I can do regarding accommodation entitlement for employees.. but for now, go home and calm down, mull implications over regarding your decision.. just remember things may not be as bad as they sound... to be continued ..Hamlet 53, 21.11.13
