"Junoon"
Part 2
Next day:
The door to the room in the cottage opens again as the person enters it.Priya who was asleep till then opens her eyes with a jerk only to see darkness beneath her blind-folds n adjusts herself.She can feel the person coming near her through footsteps..its gets close..very close..very very close to her as the person hovers over her.She thinks to scream n protest back but she is lost in the proximity for a minute..the person's scent..somewhere familiar to her … or was it her imagination.She comes out of her thoughts only to realize that the person was trying to open her blind-fold.Reality kicks n she think at last she can see the face of the person who has kidnapped her..who would it be?And why did anyone kidnap her?As the blind-folds gets removed she adjusts her blurry eyes to focus on the one person who is near her..he was a man and was bended removing her ropes from legs n she couldn't see him in this position.Her eyes move around the room.. "Eww.." was the first thought that occurred seeing it messy..she saw the black sofa she was lying on all the day before.A damaged door..closed window..old furniture spread randomly..very messy red carpet..n smell of something very tasty..it was like she was getting all her lost senses back to her again.It was then she saw him who was removing ropes from her hands..who was he?n why the hell did he kidnapped me?She looked into his face but couldn't recognize him..he was wearing a black mask which almost covered his face,,except eyes..before she can look into those eyes he moved back.But she still was looking at him..he was wearing a black jacket n a blue trousers and his face was covered with mask..does she find him familiar.. "Haan" was her first answer.. "Nehi..yeh main kya soch rahi hoon..yeh yeh toh koi anjana hi hain"..was her second thought.
"Kaun ho tum?".she asked slowly ..wanting to know him.. more than wanting to know why he kidnapped her.He didn't answer her as usual..this made her come back from her thoughts.
"Maine poocha kaun ho tum aur mujhe yahan kyun leke aaye ho..bhehra ho..sunayi nehi deta..ya phir googne ho..(now getting irritated) dekho mujhe yahan nehi rehna hain..main jaa rahi hoo,,"
Now that she is free from binds..she tried to get up from her place but even before she could properly get up..he caught her shoulders n pinned her to sofa n looked into her eyes.
"Chodo mujhe ..arrgh..chodo.." seeing his eyes looking at her.. she stops protesting..he notices this n moves back a bit n lowers his eyes..priya tries to protest again.."Chodo mujhe..nehi toh..nehi toh..main chillungi..main chillaungi..chodo mujhe(loudly)"
"Chillao.."(screaming at top),, This makes priya scared n she gets quite.,,"Jitna chillana hain chilaao..yahan door door tak koi nehi hain tumhari cheek sunne ko..naa koi hain jo tumhari madad kare."(coming close to her again) "jitni marzi chillana hain chillao..".Another strange feeling of similarity hits priya listening to his dusky voice.. "Bas karo priya" she thought to herself.
He leaves her with a jerk n moves back to lift a parcel from a chair near by n keeps near to her on sofa.
"Bhook lagi hogi ..khalo.."(ordering her).He opened the parcel with food and kept near her..
She didn't answer his question nor saw the food .. she was in rage.How dare he touch her?
"Aur wahan bathroom hain..(pointing to the door to the right of her sofa)aur yeh kuch kapde ..pehnlo.."(throwing a cover on her face)
"Mujhe nehi khana.."(adamantly n not even seeing him)
"Chup Chap Khalo warna.."(loudly)
"Warna kya..haan..kya karloge..(pointing finger to him n speaking more loudly)tumhari dhamkiyon se mein darne wali nehi hoon samjhe..aur waise bhi yeh khana ..yeh khana mujhe nehi chahiye"
"(Coming close to her n seeing into her eyes warningly)Yahan main jo kehtha hoon..wahin hoga..samjhe..yeh hi khana milega aur tumhe yehi khana khana padega"(pushing the food more near to her n moving back from her)
"Aloo ke parathe…..wowo…"(Seeing the food)..It was her favourite n feels tasty as she inhales it n she was famished at most of it but still her ego beat her "ahem..(loudly)nehi.. mujhe nehi khana..yeh ganda khana.."(trying to control her urge to get tempted for food)
"Aloo ke parathe?Aur gandha khana?hmm.."(folding both hands n seeing her)
"Haan..tumhe pata hain…main yeh sab nehi khati..(showing her hands over food)main toh..main toh..(thinking trying to cover up n making faces)chinese..mexican.. italian.."
"Oh.. (Coming near n shouting in her ears) Yeh koi restaurant nehi hain jo tum order karo wooh main leke aau..khana hain toh khao warna bhooke raho..(moving back again n warningly)main thode deer main aaunga..tab tak tayaar hoke raho..samjhi"
Priya doesn't even see him n looks at other side,,
"Samajh hi gayi hogi..(Moving to door)Aur koi chalaki karne ki koshish bhi mat karna..(Just before closing the door he warns again)warna.."
He leaves the word hanging n closes the door loudly n goes away..Priya sees the door thinking about the guy..
"Yeh toh bol saktha hain yaar..hmmf..stupid"(Irriratedly)
At priya's place:
Gaurav comes near bhramanand who is sitting infront of T.V but not seeing it n lost in thoughts.He off the T.V n comes n sits beside his father.
"Papa.. (Seeing him)inspector se abhi maine baat kiya..wooh log abhi bhi dhoondh rahe hain..par priya ka kuch pata nehi lag paye.."(sadly)
"Hmm.."(nods)
"Papa aap chinta mat keejiye hum un kidnappers ko pakad lenge aur.."Brahmnanad cuts in n gets up from his place..he was thinking something n there were no answers to his questions..
"Ek baat hmare samjah mein naa aarahi gaurav..agar wooh kidnapper hi hain toh abhi tak wooh logon ne hume fone kyun nehi kiya..(seeing gaurav)agar unka maksat sirf paisa (stressing the word)hi hain toh abhi tak toh fone aana hi aana chahiye..(thinking again n saying after a pause)hmare ko lage hain ki koi humse bahut badi khel khel rahe hain.."
"Kya matlab hain papa aapka..main..kuch..samjha nehi.."(confused)
"Gaurav..thare ko pata hain priya hamare liye kya hain..(gaurav nods slowly) uska kissi bhi haal mein yahan pohunchna hoga wooh bhi waqt se pehle..(Gaurav nods again thinking)Nehi toh.." (worried n leaves the sentence)
"Par papa police aur hamare log dono ki mumbai ke chappa.chappa chaan rahe hain.."
"Sirf Mumbai na…agar hmara shak sahi hain toh..(a idea strikes him)ek kaam kar tu ..apne logon ko bol Mumbai chod ..mumbai ke aas paas aur bahar dhoondhe....jitna chahe utne logon ko bhej..(garurav looks confused)samjhe kee nehi..(loudly)"
"Jee papa..samajh gaya..main abhi batato hoon.."(still not convinced n thinking)
"Toh khade kayko hain..ja..jaa yahan se aur bol unhe..aur chod hamare ko akela.."(ordering now)
"Jee..jee..papa.."(Scared a bit seeing him like that n leaves fastly dialing a number on his cellphone)
Brahmanand thinks to himself..
"Kahin bhi chupake rakhlo priya ko tum..main usse dhoondh kar hi rahoonga.."(closing his fist n banging on wall in rage)
Cottage:
After a while..when priya's so called ego got vanished due to her hunger..she eats the food ("Kitna tasty hain yaar..ummm") n gets fresh n wears the new clothes (patiala n kurtha)bought to her("Kuch toh pehna hoga..issi se chala lete hain").
"Samjhta kya hain wooh apne aap ko..(Sitting on the sofa folding both her legs up n talking to herself)mujhe …mujhe dhamki deta hain..stupid..idiot ..moron.."(making faces)
"Aur yeh jagah dekho (seeing around)kitna gandha hain..eww..(getting up n dusting herself)main yahan nehi reh sakhti ..mujhe kissi bhi halath main yahan se nikalna hi hoga.."
She walks back n forth thinking deeply..after a minute or two..
"Par yahan toh koi rasta hi nehi hain..(seeing around n stops walking)nikloo toh kahan se..saare doors aur kidki bhi bandh hain?"
She sees around again for a way out..its a closed room n even the big window is locked n even some nails are stuck to it inside..no way out?Suddenly she sees sunlight coming from the small window above the window..its big enough for her to escape..
"Arre yeh toh ventilation window hain..yahan se toh maine easily nikal sakthi hoon..(smiling to herself) par yeh itna uncha hain..wahan tak kaise pahunch paungi.." She was afraid of heights..n she knows it very well..but..
"Par..(thinking n regaining her strength)nehi priya jo bhi ho main yahan nehi rakhne wali..especially uss stupid khadoos insaan ke saath toh bilkul nehi.."
She decides to get away fastly n that too far away from that stupid person..but how ? was the question..she looks at the old furniture n finds a ladder ..
"Ladder..isse kuch fayda ho .."She confirms that the door of the room is locked from outside n hears for any noises..but hearing nothing she thinks he has gone out..perfect timing she smiles to herself.
She tries to remove it slowly from bunch of other stuff not making noise..its old one ofcourse..n broken here n there ..she keeps is straight to the ventilation window n starts climbing slowly..
"Ok..bas aur kuch door..aur kuch door..tum kar sakthi ho priya.."not seeing down n closing eyes in between n taking heavy breathes.At last she reaches the top n tries to remove the window..its closed tightly..and also its stuck because of not using it for long time..
"Lagtha hain yeh stuck ho gaya..ab kya karu..(tries to push it with force but in vain)thoda dhaaka lagao priya..uff "
The step of the ladder she is on cracks little as it's a old one ..she doesn't notice it n tries to push the ventilation window with more force n the step she is on breaks with her force n she falls backwards losing her balance ……..
"Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Priya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"(someone screams her name)
She closes her eyes in anticipation to hit the ground but instead lands on two arms which catches her closely n protectively..
She opens her eyes atlast still shaken a bit but what she sees makes her more shocked.
"Priya ………. tum ..tum..theek toh hona ,,tumhe kuch hua toh nehi..kuch chot aayi hain kya..kuch bolo priay..priya tum theek hona..(she nods numbly)thank god..(Helds her closely n hugs)Tum..tum pagal ho gayi ho kya..(Seeing the ladder n scolding her)kya soch rahi thi..tum gir jati toh..agar..agar tumhe kuch ho jata toh ..tum..priya.."
"Adi…Aditya..?"(extremely shocked seeing his face)
"Huh!"he realizes he hasn't wore his mask on..how the hell did he forget it ? n sees a shocked priya.She tries to break his hold n moves back stumbling until she her back is to wall n sees's aditya with a shocked face.
"Aditya..??"Unbelievable ,,this is her dream ..she closely her eyes anticipating it as dream when she opens her eyes she still finds him with his arms open in the same position he left her.This is..this is Real!
"Kyun?"(In slow n feeble voice)Tears form from her beautiful eyes n she gets lost in her thoughts of past.
Flashes:
** " Miss.Nakhchadi.."
"Mujhse bhaag ke kahan jaougi…"
"I love you ……..priyaaaaaaaaa.."
"Priya ek baar meri baat suno..please..priyaaaaaaaaaaa…"
"Tum sirf meri ho priya ..sirf meri….aur main tumhe kissi aur ka kabhi hone na doonga.,chahe kuch bhi ho jaye ..kuch bhi.." **
Her tears doesn't stop..she leans back to the wall n slowly sits down numbly..it was like hell broke out loose on her..,,why ..why should he come back again in her life..after what all he did..how dare he?n why now?what does he want?So many questions ……?
Aditya tries to come near her n talk.
"Nehi..mat aao mere pass..(Stopping him with her hand)kyun aaye ho meri zindagi mein phir se aditya..(crying)itna sab kuch hone ke baad…kyun aaye ho..kyun..(screaming n crying more loudly).Kyun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She closes her eyes floating into the memories of her past..her heart-broken past………
