Mishal Raheja as Dutta Patil

Fettered Affection ~Chapter 35

"to do great right,do a little wrong"Shakespeare

Dutta sat on his turquoise settee, his fingertips pressed against his forehead. with narrowed eyes semi opened as if in pain he groaned, "wish I hadn't let Naku leave this place, na woh jati na muhje ye bechaine hote".Baji passed him a glass of stiff drink to gather himself. He accepted and downed it straightaway , with a twisted look on his face as the burning liquid, contacted his tongue and scorched his mouth and gullet.

Baji, consoled him as he studied his Bhau intently."Bhau you needn't worry, we'll find the girl".Dutta replied in a guttural tone,"woh tu thek hai Baji , but we have to act soon, because that dirty Morey hasn't kidnapped her without a purpose.. and for his own passion , seems too easy, kuch aur hai chakkar, sauda kare ga uska! that's where the big dough is! Morey will put his uniform at risk for something substantial, not for lust!, opined Dutta. Baji flared his nostrils and commented, "compared to this B# we are nothing but angels, at least we clean up by our do goody acts alongside our dirty deeds! pun ye Morey tu salla ek number ka halkat hai! abhi tu uska kam tamam karna he pare ga!he declared agitated. Dutta clearly heeded to what Baji pointed out but likewise he mused as well. He took a deep breath and complained, "under the immunity of his job, he miss uses his power, and makes it arduous for us to nab him! so whatever we do to retrieve Shivangi it has to be done carefully so we stay clear.. Dutta adviced.Baji, nodded,"ho Bhau, it means we'd rather not do a big shootout lest it's seen as a calculated and deliberate assault against a policemen? "haan Baji us kutte ko uske hi game mein pakarna hoga!"griped Dutta. Baji's eyes twinkled and he prattled on idea before Dutta...Dutta at first thought the notion was preposterous,"salle ye koi nautanki chal rehe hai? jab mau kole ga tu bikwas he kare ga tu Baji". Baji, tried to convince Dutta but could see vividly that it would take time for Dutta to come to terms with the plan he has suggested ..in the meanwhile it was best to leave Dutta with the following prompt."Bhau tu Naku ko phone kyun nehi kar leta, find out how things are with her?

~~~~~~~~

Naku served Ritu food and Babi kindly assured her,"aacha keya Ritu tum edherich ah gaye, dekho parosi he parosi ka kam ati hain, chalo abhi kuch khalo lo" she urged gently as she placed a glass of water on the table for Ritu.

Once eaten Babi retired and encouraged the girls to go out on the balcony for a breather. Both girls had creased brows which reflected the sense of insecurity they felt.."we continue to live.Tomorrow as par normal it will be day light and everything around will have an air of regularity..pun aise nehin hai, ek lardki , Shivangi, who has her whole future and aspirations ahead of her, has abruptly gone missing!through no fault of hers, but this, that she is young and vulnerable.. unacceptable! protested Naku. Ritu begins to cry,"I am frightened now, even to step out, don't feel like going to college..no point.. kuch bhi ho sakta hai , who knows we may be watched" she sighed and held her face in her hands," at this point don't know what to think?feel very muddled up inside, Ritu confessed. Naku put her arm around Ritu shoulders, and said boldly, "look Ritu, the first thing we need to do is to contain our disorderly sentiments.. the thing to keep in mind is , ye ju bhi hai, he or she must not win! he shouldn't disturb our way of life to the extent of having an impact on our daily routine. In short, hum dono sab woh karenge ju hum kerte hain..ok? Naku impressed stoically.

Ritu tries to show some strength, and Naku continues,"so in my opinion we should go to the college, I'll come with you, I'll take half day leave from work, once there, we need to meet the college authorities regarding Shivangi's disappearance.

~~~~~~~~~

Bob was as expected understanding, "yes Nakusha , I shall make a note of your visit to the disappeared girl's college as supporting an investigation, hence you keep me informed so I can amend the report, as required".

Naku alongside Ritu met with the college authorities and was vocal about certainly not taking Shivangi's sudden absence as lying down.The authorities too, didn't want their reputation tarnished and as such immediately referred the matter to the student's union leader. Shiva, the student leader, within no time called an emergency caucus, whereby the rest of the student support was rallied. Naku as a rehab officer in the local community, stood and addressed the rather hyped up students, who demanded justice there and then! there was a general most common place antagonism at a higher authority..in this case the college board of directors! There was talk of vandalism! In order to be heard!

Naku, joined her hands above her head and slowly brought them down, appealing for their attention. Of course she condemned the act.. but emphasised and appealed for order and calm..she suggested in the first instance a small group of students should file a missing person report in the local police station ..

~~~~~~~

Shiva, Ritu and a host of students, stood around the police chauki.. the havildars out side stroked the metal barrel ends of their guns held closed to their sided ribs..kadher? bhi kadher? asked one havildar with betel marked jagged edge front incisors and of what was left of the apex of canines.. one of the students, with a thrust off his chest, yelled, "report lekh wani hai under jane do! The other havildar sneered, "ab tere bike ghum ho gaye hai! tu hum kya karien? dahiyaan rekhna chaiye na?.. "tere tu mein! the boy shouted and Naku stepped forward.. "dekho bhai under jana do na inspector Sahib se mila hain.."

Hayeee! sounded the lecherous Morey as he appeared in the entrance veranda of the police station.. spinning his red striped kerchief rolled into a snake between the fingertips of his two hands.. with a forward jerk of neck like an ostrich! he raised his hands holding the twirling hankie and jerked it behind his neck.. then gave a comical smile to the small delegation before him and gave his neck a swift rub from side to side with the kerchief.. kyun bhi? kaun ho tum? college bunk ker ke edhur masti kerne aye ho.? he posed the questions and maintained eye contact with the girls.."kyun re tuhme koi shram nehi ladeez ke saath matar gasthe kerte ho? woh bhi Inspector Morey ke thane ka samna? Ritu begins to speak but Naku refrains her and takes the lead herself.

Seeing she wished to speak ,and recognising her straightaway , he invited her inside,"ab aap is delegation ke leader hain? tu phir aap ko izzat se thane mein bolana pare ga ,haina? Nakusha ji...

Naku gulped, clenched her jaw, and followed him inside.. with Naku the rest of the crowd tried to squeeze in to show solidarity..

Morey stands with his posterior backed in the edge of his desk..and he poked the ends of his stick which he held before his chest between his fore fingers , menacingly as a message for them.

Calmly he gives, Shiva a look and asks, casually,"haan bhai, hero hera lal! bol, kya masala hai tumhara? election ka mood mein ho ? areee chaman bhar! tu edhur kyon aaye ho? jaon canvassing karo, woh kya haina main to, use party ke saath hoon ju saate mein aaye gi!!he admits comically ,as he laughs at his own joke.

Naku fed up , speaks up, "inspector ap bolne dein tu hum kuch bolien.?" he looks at her with lust and leers at her,"Nakusha ji.. to araz farmian..hum tu kab se aap ke awaz sune ke liye bechain hain..

Before she could answer, she was distracted by a text message buzz, she slipped her hand in her tote bag and looked at the flashing name, tera! Saab! she pulled her firmed lips to one side and dropped the phone back in the dead end of the bag.. she swallowed hard and concluded this is not the time or place to acknowledge anything, from him, as he would crucify her.. for taking matters in her hands...

She reverted back to Morey.."want to file a missing person's report..one flat mate, commerce college pupil, and member of public.. she has not be seen since last night.."stated Nakusha.. Morey without batting an eyelid, replied flippantly "so not even a missing person since twenty four hours and you, jokers coming running to the thana mera deedar kerna! dekho! tum sab ye bhi to ho sakta ho late night party mein gaye hot tu who kiya bolte hain? tumhari bhasha mein,"hang over!" nasha kuch zayeeda ho gaye ho tu kisi jaga rok gaye ho gi?

A sudden buzz of protest ensued but he was not going to give in, and he told them come back after twenty four hours.. they resisted and he banged his stick on his desk and faced them threateningly,"chup chap edhur se dafa ho jao! nehin tu sab ko under kar doon ga!he bellowed and called his havildars, "nikalo un ko yahan se! khali peeli time khote kerna aj jata hain!"

Heads hung, highly put off the small crowd dispersed , but the fear in them still remained and anger bubbled up enough to call upon destruction.

They assembled nearby in a park, crestfallen, and Naku said, "there is no need to be without hope, as we have done the right thing.. the inspector now knows that we are aware that something fishy is going on.. we'll do as he asked.. and after twenty four hours lapse, we come again and file the report again, and we take it from there.." Ritu asked Naku before every one, can you not ask someone influential.. to step in? Naku hurriedly changed the subject, before throwing more light on it and left it by saying, "humm, I'll do what I can, in fact I suggest we all use are resources, sways, within our power, but remember all to be done within the law."

~~~~~~~~~

After several buzzes, final text, talk to me NOW! RIGHT NOW! Naku mopped above her top lip and phoned him, he answered with deadly combo between a roar and a bark. "heyyy! kya bloody tamasha you are doing? here I am worried sick , pata nehi zinda hai ya mar gaye tu!! he roared.. "Saab ,who.. she tired, but he yelled her down, "ohhh chupkar! samhjte kya hai tu apna aap ko? Naku, flared her nostrils and squared her shoulders," samaj sewak hoon, social worker in case you have forgotten" Dutta, roared, "is waqat tu ju bhi ho! I damn care! you are my linked to me! bari aye social ke///! he nearly cussed ,but stopped in time, and shouted, "here talk to her! she drives me up the wall! bellowed Dutta.

Baji, went,"dekh Naku you know Bhau is off his rocker, due to Shivangi's disappearance. You said you would keep us informed, tune aisa kyun nehin kiya? you of all the people should know that he lacks greatly in perseverance! and in such cases, tu bilkul bhi nehin..he wants action..."Naku, Bhau chinta kerta hai teri", explained Baji.

Dutta revolved his neck and glares at Baji and yells,"kuch baka tu nehin hoga usne? Baji nods his head, dreading what Dutta would do? he passed the phone over to Dutta.. who took a deep breath opened and shut his free hand..

He screwed his face and said,"dekh Naku, don't test my patience? for the love of Bappa can you tell me why you haven't responded to my texts?

Naku, nods and responds, "Saab, now please mujhe bolne do, I wanted to before too, but you didn't let me get a word in.. ok, now I went to uni campus and spoke to the dean, he referred the matter to the student leader.. with him as a small delegation, we went to Morey, he said come back to file report.. after 24 hours" reported Naku , as she bit her lip , half expecting him to pull her down on the initiative she took..

"humm, tu Jhansi ke rani bune hoi thi tune.. teri parwaz check kerne pare ge mujhe.. kya bolte hai tu.. mujhse shaadi kare ge?

Naku was gob smacked and the screech of brakes made her spin around.. it was Saab! parked nearly in the middle of the road.. stopping traffic, with greeting waves at him and Baji who stood up in the open jeep!.. the traffic veered left and right to drive past the jeep! and Naku stood wide eyed her hands pressed against her mouth.

He can't be serious what is he doing here? he got out of the jeep , dressed in his black pathiani, and strode towards her and then paused at a safe distance, "sooch kya rehe hai? jeep mein beith ja!

Without a word she sat in the rear seat. Baji turned his head behind, and gave Naku a beaming dimpled smile..

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

Impulsive that's him! time wasting is not for him! whatever needs to be done he'll do himself! he jerked his tightened knuckle on the gear stick and roughly changed the gears, rammed his foot on the brake. and just drove like one possessed..

Naku saw the pinnacles of the local temple.. orange flags waving about carefree in the breeze. Saab, at the temple, have the gods spoken to him? much baffled she looked at Baji sitting in the passenger seat, he just waited patiently, silently biting his lower lip nervously.. whatever lay ahead? he must be party to it too. Saab ke har kam mein Baji is equally involved.

With another screech of the brakes, Dutta pulled to a halt, gave Naku a meaningful order which he knew she would obey, "get out and follow me! he yelled and Baji mechanically came out of the jeep too.. Dutta, in a hurry, pulled off his shoes, and turned his head to see if she followed suit.. she did. Dutta raced up the steps on his toes as if in a hurry, and Naku climbed the steps of the mandir steps , her soft palms, gently warmed by the sun baked red brick steps.. behind her came Baji not wishing to be late, doing a fast track rubbing of the soles and scaling the height to the top where already Dutta waited.. determined and full of grit written on his sombre face, with his arms crossed across his chest..

Seeing Naku reach the second last step to the main entrance of the elevated mandir, his eyes softened, here she was dressed in a simple mustard printed cotton shalwar kameez.. she looked simplistically radiant, with eager sincerity ready to follow his beckoning.. yes he knew what he aimed to do, the sooner the better! what was the point of wasting time? besides he cannot afford to take chances.. he held his hand out to her ceremoniously . She placed her soft warm palm in his. She was his already his .Had been from the day she met him.. so now no dithering and uncertainty would hamper her..like him. Saab.. her heart sang soundlessly, as her palm lay on his wide strong palm .. with us words were always a mere means of communication.. my soul already received the intent of your soul..

Dutta was greeted by Purhoit ji,"Bhau ayean ap ka intezaar tha.. beithien.. Dutta held Naku's hand resolutely , and sat her down and then folded his knees and sat with his legs crossed beside her.. Purhoit ji, adviced, "Bhau ap ju kerna ja rehe ho.. ye mahurat jane bagher ho raha hai"Dutta replied,"ju kar raha hoon, saachi neyat, aur saache mann se kar raha hoon.. isliye ke, rishta mein bhand ke, main, Nakusha ki puri theran se hafazat ker sakoon..jaisa mera kam hai mere dushman kis bhi waqat, is par bhi hamla kar sakte hain.. main chahta hoon Nakusha mera pas, mera saath, mera ghar mein reh sake aur ye lagan ke pavitar rishte ke bagher nehin ho sakta hai.. ab ap hi batien pandit je.. maan mein saachi pyar hoon tu kya phir bhi mahurat nikalne ke zarorat hai lagan ke liye ?.. Purhoit ji , after some thought concluded, that if Bhau wishes to treat his marriage to Nakusha as a step forward to turn his presently stormy life around, then marriage between these two should be solemnized to seal their sincere love into an accepted bond..he turned to Baji , "Baji Bhau! ap ja ki varmala le aayen neeche dukan se aur main mantre shooru karte hoon.

Baji shook his head vigorously, and with a huge dimpled smile scampered down the steps ecstatic! and only stopped at the local venders at the bottom of the steps in the vicinity of the mandir. Hurriedly he bought the two deep red and yellow marigold garlands..his eyes fell upon a flowing red sheer chunni embellished with shiny sequins on display..and mused Bhau ka lagan hai.. Naku ke liye this wouldn't be out of place. He asked for a new one and then in a hurry! bought a tiny cut mirror pot of vermillion too , in haste paid the man! and like a cheetah darted swiftly up the steps..

Half panting Baji made it just in time as pandit ji carried on with the beginning of the ceremony.. Baji stood as if on duty.. behind the seated Dutta and Naku.. before the sacred fire. Dutta slowly sided his head to Naku and raised his eye brow, leaned sideways and whispered with a questioner nod.. haan? she nodded with a smile, lowered her eyes, her cheeks turned scarlet red.. Baji moved and leaned on Bhau's side offering him the bridal scarlett chunni.. Dutta screwed his nose, "kya hai ye? "Bhau phene de Naku ko"..Dutta hummed, and pulled his mouth to one side but bowed his head once.. gingerly he took the chunni, opened it and tenderly laid it on her head. Her innocent delicately featured face transformed into a fragile flower and she gave him what he thought was a wee quiver of her rosebud mouth.. her green doe eyes searched his contracted eyes ,and very nearly took the very life out of him! till the pandit said.. "kaniyandan kaun kare ga? Baji, jack of all trades.. offered , "pandit ji main Naku ke bhai jaise hai, tu main karega.. within a few seconds, Baji did the needful, took and offered Naku's palm in Dutta's while Purhoit ji poured tiny spoonful of ghee in the fire.

The pandit signalled for the bride and groom welcoming ceremony.. As part of the ritual both stood before each other. Baji who continued to execute his duties,stood holding the two garlands, ready to pass on when required.Dutta with hooded eyes studied her ,then set the garland around her slender swan like neck. Awkwardly, she raised her arms and eyes, and repeated the same for Dutta who leaned his upper back ,easing the action for her..

Once done they returned to their places on the floor before the sacred fire. more sacred mantras were read, till the time approached to solemnize the marriage by the two symbols that epitomize the bond.. the mangulsutra.. Dutta twitched his jaw, didn't have one handy! so he folded his two arms took his hands behind his neck and took off his Bappa amulet and stretched his two arms towards her and looking intently in her green eyes meaningfully, intently.. blinked and then tenderly hooked it behind her neck.. Baji ready this time pleased with his forethought, presented the cut glass pot of vermillion, pulled off the lid and watched with great pride as his Bhau took a pinch full and rather nearly and carefully marked her parting with it..

Once done, the pandit moves along to the final section of the ceremony, he asked, ghat bandhan kaun kare ga? Baji smiled nervously and looked around ill prepared as he stood behind Dutta and Naku. Dutta looked at him expectantly, and blinks his eyes.. with a nod and turns to Naku and mutters.. " apni mustard wali chunni de... Naku gently moved her hand and pulled her chunni and Dutta prompted, "Baji ko de..."Baji was smart enough to decipher the mutterings and the shiftings.. and quickly grabbed the bunched up chunni .But appeared helpless as he wondered where would tie it on to Bhau? it was not long even to be over Naku's shoulder let alone then stretched on to the tall Bhau's shoulder.. Baji would half too, to innovate... Purhoit ji states, "vaar, vaadu phiroon ke liye khare hoon jaen!

One end of the mustard chunni hung over Naku's shoulder and the other end, Baji awkwardly,and briskly got hold of the edge of Dutta's black long pathiani shirt! tied a knot Dutta with a stern face looked back slightly turned at Baji's inclined back.. and once done Dutta leads first and then Naku, as both perform circumambulations around the fire and eventually, the seventh phera ends and the pandit declares,"aaj se ap dono pati aur patni hain".. and Dutta says tersely, "hum apne baron ka ashirwad ghar ja ke le lien ge pandit je"..and then he turns blandly to Baji ,"chal Baji! mission accomplished let's go! and Dutta turned briskly and stalked off to the steps ..ready to descend..

But soon he realised Naku still stood in the mandir, and calls out with a wave of his palm,"chaal Naku.. kam khatam ho gaya hai, ah ja!".. she adhered to his call and descended down the steps of the mandir slowly behind him.. Dutta turned to her.."peeche pheeche kyun chal rehe hai Naku? saath mein chal! Dutta shriram Patil ke baiko hai tu ab! Naku..rolled her eyes, so after this so called, unplanned, unorganized.. spur of the moment lagan! he wants to be facetious. Saab ap bhi na. she shook her head then shyly.. then tried to catch up with his impatient descent..

Baji went ahead and opened the front passenger seat door for her and.. matter of fact in action, Dutta lurched and sat heavily into the front seat and before he turned the ignition key he gave her a sided stare.. and said formally the done thing! " shaadi Mubarak ho Naku! and then slowly turned the key, put the jeep in gear and started off ,and mumbled as he drove his eyes fixed on the road.." lal chunni uttar de ab, don't want people to note mera lagan ho gaya hai they'll run and relay the news to Aye Sahib before we do!

Naku a bit miffed at his curt manner, pulled it off her head rather roughly and fixed her mustard chunni on the top section of her seated figure..

Dutta justified loudly, although Naku knew he spoke to her as well.. "Baji you know why I did what I did? you know before we sort that B# Morey.. it was imperative to change Naku's status from single and available! to married and Dutta Bhau's ke patni! He stopped addressing Baji and rotated his neck to Naku and asked , tu theek hai? she nodded silently and he continued," aaga ke plan tera ghar ja ke batie ga mein"..

So this is what being married feels like.. strange, odd, overpowering, incredible, yet wanting.. but so right! if your husband happens to be a mixed taste of the raw, sour ,bitter yet the sweet zest of lemon ! like Dutta Patil. She nearly sneezed and stopped it in time. Distracted he turned to her dryly and said.."be yourself Naku, no need to change, won't eat you alive", he stopped had Baji not been there he would have carried on.. would like to protectively savour you..dheere dheere.. humm pyar tu hai.. is kali gori se Dutta ko..

~~~~~~~~~~~

Babi was a speechless bag of nervous! when she opened the door and found Dutta Bhau, Naku and Baji rao standing in the hallway. Dutta greeted his mother in law and was promptly invited in!.Babi delivered a look of censure towards Naku.. and blurted.. "eyeee kya kiya hai tune? Naku opened her mouth but Dutta, raised his palm and answered, curtly,"mausi, jo kya hai? woh hum dono ne mil ke kiya hai.. lagan."

Babi was stunned , and her eyes automatically, noticed the red vermillion in her daughter's parting and.. then her eyes rolled down to Bhau's chain with Bappa's locket in her daughter's neck! she grabbed her pallu and nearly stuffed it in her mouth in disbelief! Eventually she did say rather loudly Deva re Deva! kya hai teri maya? Then she turned to her daughter and protested,"ise kaise lagan tune kar liya Naku! Dutta, interjected, "mausi ise maine bola tha aise karne ko.. iske jaan khatre mein the.. basi abhi ke liye inta he bole ga main.. mujhe pe bharrosa rekain aap".. and he looked at Naku wasting time, "apna saman pack ker! and then turned to face Babi , "aap bhi saman bhand lien.. is flat mein nehin rehna hai ap logon ko.. yahan safe nehin!, he said stiffly.Babi tired to query but Baji said to her, kaki! chalo main ap ki help karta hai.. aur woh half pant kadher hai? Babi laughed nervously and said haan.. who eskool se ana wala hai.. Dutta looked at Naku and urged,"ja na..pack your bags or shall I give you a hand? he said shyly.. she giggled and replied," main ker loon ge Saab!"..

Dutta, signalled Baji with the hand,"Baji you help them to pack, and ring Kale to send another jeep.. and you take mausi and the rest of the saman , and Naku ko main le ke jaya ga ghar.. ummh unless you want to do that" Dutta asked.. Baji replied , nehin! nehin! Bhau Aye Sahib ka samna tu hi kar!

A small voice asked,"woh kaki.. Naku kahan hai? it was Ritu.. she looked ever so vulnerable and Dutta thought, given the present climate , totally at risk.. he turned to her Babi and said.."mausi, ye lardki bhi saath jaye ge! he decreed, and left the rest to Babi..in terms of further explanations. Baji just nodded to Babi..meaning, no agro just do as Bhau says..

~~~~~~~~~~~

Dutta, drove quietly and midway, gave her a sided glance it was hard not to note her discomfiture .." Naku don't worry too much, main hoon na.. sab sambhal loon ga, besides, we have committed no crime! if at all I would say we have gone by the book! I am confident people at Patil Nivas would accept you , without any aggravation!" agitated he changed gear and grumbled,"waise why am I saying this to you? it's not that you are going to some strange new world.. you lived there once.. I would hope so? you are entering my house in a manner you dreamt about! he said full of himself.Naku nodded but felt she needed to set it right, "haan Saab.. Patil Nivas. aap ka ghar nehin, pun hamra ghar hai.. aur humm.. sapna dekha tha maine.. tu kya aaap ne nehin dekha tha kya?Dutta smiled and bashfully turned his face to the other side while driving, and admitted," humm deka tha.. ummh intezar tha kab wapis Aye ge tu" and he bit his lip and stole a sided look at her yet face yet again, but now mischievously and continued, "ab ke dafa, thujhe aise la kar ja raha hoon.. that you are chained to me for life..my prisoner.."he said fervently. She heard, but said nothing, instead she blushed profusely..

~~~~~~~~~~

Shivangi looked around.. this was not some squalid, dark and dingy warehouse.. with mice making a quick dash across the floor boards..she felt the smooth counterpane on the edge of the bed.. her eyes rolled around as she noted the dresser.. seemed loaded with cosmetics and perfumery .. so what now?

She looked at the wall mounted clock and made mental notes, she recalled at the point of being restrained and kidnapped it was late at night .. yes she had got of the bus and was confronted by that local top cop .. she revolved her eyes and swallowed the lump in her throat but could not make the plug budge..

She pushed back her hair off her face.. whatever happens she must remain calm and maybe talk herself out of this situation, rather than put her neck on the line.. tears stung her face and she wiped her cheeks vigourously.. it's not that she wasn't aware of the purpose she was here.. but she will have to wait and see..

The door clicked open, another woman came in, hanging on her arm were what seemed satin maxi dresses.."woh party hai sham ko , kuch foreign ke mahman hain.. tu management wants us there to entertain them with small talk..ok?.. help chaiye tayeer hona mein?.. Shivangi replied with a smile , "nehin, main khud he ho jaon ge".. and the click of the door told her ,she was on her own again. Shivangi looked down at the clothes and picked up one and thought, let's see what lies ahead..

~~~~~~~~~

Naku nervously stepped out of the jeep.. But felt incomplete, till she reached out for her green trunk which contained her clothes.. Dutta looked down at her and gave a tiny smile, greased with sacarasm.. "humm kapre tu thujhe chahiye hoon ge.. necessity.. come let's go inside..

They entered.. Naku by his side carrying her trunk.. he walked on decisively and as expected his mother and Kala Tai stood before him.. before they could say anything or make out any notable changes in the unpretentious and innocent Naku.. Dutta took her closer to his mother.."ye lain Aye Sahib.. ap ke bahu.." Aye Sahib heard and then realized what he had just relayed to her.. she folded her arm and her hand felt her forehead.. a dizzy spell was underway.. Dutta supported her just in time and gently with his arm around her shoulder, led her to the nearest settee and sat her down.. he turned his head and saw Naku, put down her trunk and make a beeline for the kitchen.. to get a glass of water.Kala ran after her, and turned Naku around and checked her vermillion.. and her lips curled in a scintillating smile.."well I never! Kala exclaimed... to be continued Hamlet53~ 20.5.14..

Precap: babu ji zara Morey!...bare dhoka hain is pyar mein.."

many thanks for your best wishes.. we all did it together..
