Entwined to Eternity;Update on page 74 (3rd Dec) - Page 50

Romi was pacing in anger in the room.. The thought of Rachu betraying him was making him restless... He tried to convince himself by saying that Rachu and he both are using each other for their own aims but all his argument were going in vein... For the first time he was hearing to his heart nd getting possessive... After disconnecting the call Rachu comes out with cup of tea... Romi looks at her angrily but a look of her smiling face calms him down.. He takes one sip and to his amusement it was exactly like the one he made in the night.

"Wow!! This is awesome!!" The compliment came out of his mouth suddenly.

"Well... I am quick learner and from now onwards I will make tea for u... " She said with a smile... After the night she was already planning her future with him..but the words were surprising for him... He was not looking his future with her... In fact he dint want to look at future and wanted to live in present.. The present where she is alive and with him.

"Hmm" He was short of words and hence just replied in single syllable.

"I want u to meet Adi..My bro Aditya.. Will u come with me?? It's his birthday tomorrow."

"Sure... where we have to go??"

"SP house... I mean at Prem's home. But before that we have to go to temple..I want to thank God for something."

The mention of SP house and Prem ringed alarm in his ears... Suddenly he starts feeling uncomfortable.. "No.. I can't go... I can't take risk of meeting any cop... I can't let anyone see me with Rachu.. It can be dangerous for my mission." He said in his mind... Though somewhere he knew that it wasn't the only reason... He was not ready to meet her boyfriend.. He dint had the strength to see her close with anyone else.. His mind starts searching the excuses...

"Temple?? But I haven't take bath yet... How can I go to temple??" He found an excuse.

"Ohh ya.. No issues!! We will go to rehab first.. I can wait."

"No.. no .. that's not necessary... We can go temple from here... I won't come inside... After that u can drop me at Rehab... I will meet Adi tomorrow.. Won't u invite me in his birthday party??"

"Hmm... Ok." She said... "It's ok Rachu.. Right now it's time to bring him back on right path... u can make him meet ur family later... " She thought.

He thanked God that she agreed to drop him at Rehab and he escaped from the trouble... "Tomorrow I will find some other excuse..." He thought.

------------------------- ---------------------------------

@Temple

Rachu takes him to a small temple which wasn't much away from Rehab.. Though she wanted to take him to Siddi Vinayak but due to his excuse she took him to a small temple so that he can see the idol without entering the temple.. She enters the temple and turns around to look at him.. He was standing at the door of car and waves at her... She smiles and covers her head with her dupatta.. fold her hand and prays..

"Thank u God... After 2 years My Adi is coming back to home... Not to our home but Prem's home... I hope he recovers soon.. Doctor too have said that there is some hope... Please God.. Give me my brother back.."

Romi was looking at her from outside.. She was looking very nave and cute.. He felt as if his heart skipped a bit on looking her like this.. A smiles appears on his face.. While praying Rach turns around to look at him again and gestures him to fold her hands... He complies. She continues her prayer...

"I wish Romi has that smile on his face always... I love him God and I want to spend my whole life with him but before that I have to help him to come on right path... N I do not want this for me.. I love him the way he is... I want him to live a respectable life.. I want him to feel proud on himself.. N I know I can't do it... I just need ur blessing..."

She takes the Prasad and comes out of the temple.. She gives Praasad to Romi who outstretches his left hand casually.. She nods his head in negative and he wonders why is she denying to give him the Prasad.. She points out at right hand and understands her signal.. He takes Prasad in right hand and eats it... Rach drops him at rehab and goes to meet Adi at Prem's house.

--------------------- --------------------- --------------------------

@Prem's house

Rachu meets Bruno lovingly and apologizes for ignoring him previous night.. She wishes Granny and Prem too.. Finally rushes to meet Adi who was lying in the next room..

"Adi.. My bro!! So u came to live with Prem.. Well u will again make a team with Prem and I will be alone." Rachu said..

"Don't worry.. u have ur Romi naa... U two can be a team. Adi.. u know what... Ur di is..." Prem replied from the door..

"Shut up Prem.. "

"Adi needs to know Rachu.. He should know that his di is in love."

"No Adi.. Actually yes.. I love him. But do not worry.. I won't marry him without ur approval... U have to meet him and inform me about him... " She said loudly.. "N u know what... I am going to propose him tomorrow... But don't tell this Prem.. he will make fun of me." She whispered in Adi's ears..

"No cheating.. No cheating. Adi won't hide anything from me.." Prem says...

"No.. he won't tell this time" Rachu shouts...

"Let Adi rest.. u can fight outside.." came Granny's voice... Rachu gives a quick peck to Adi and leaves the room.

Prem and Rachu chalks out the plan for Adi's birthday party where she gets sad on remembering his moments with Adi on his birthdays... Prem tries to cheer her up and she comes back to her normal mode after hiding her pain.

------------------------ ---------------------------------------

Midnight

Rachu and Prem brings the cake in Adi's room.. His room was fully decorated and Adi's favorite music was playing... She hold his hand and they cut the cake together.. when she feels his grip on her hand getting bit tighter.. "It's a sign of movement" She screamed.. Everyone looks at her shockingly.. She calls sister and informs her about Adi's finger which moved for a nano second. Nurse informs her that this is a good sign and this is not happening for the first time.. From past 2-3 days Adi is responding slowly and doctor has full hope that he will come out of coma gradually. Tears of happiness falls from Rachu's eyes.. She wipes them and cuts the cake with Adi.. She feeds cake to everyone but doesn't eat saying she will eat cake only with Adi.. N she will bake that cake on her own.

After party gets over she lays on the bed of guest room and texts Romi.. "I am very happy today.. It feels like God is there and miracle still happens.. I wish this time he fulfills all my wishes..."

Romi reads the message in confusion and wonders what she asked.. But without thinking about it much he replies.. "Good things happen with Good people... I wish this happiness stay with u for whole ur life.. Now sleep.. it's already late."

"Sure... Good night. <3 I miss u."

For few seconds she waited for the text and gets disappointed on not getting reply.. She keeps her phone on the side and closes her eyes.. Her cell beeps.. She grabs it immediately and opens the text.. "J" A smiley was there with no words at all... A smile appears on her face too... "One day u will express ur feelings freely..." She keeps her phone back and sleeps peacefully while remembering the previous night with him.

He wonders why he relied her with that smiley.. "M I missing her?? No.. it can't be true.. But yesterday night was truly precious... It was fun to be with her... I felt at peace and learned smiling too.. Yes.. I miss her. I wish she was here.. M I in love?? No.. it can't be true.. I am just attracted and she has a bf too... Is Prem really his bf or just a friend?? She is at him home and still texting me.. No.. he can't be his bf.. She is all mine.. Only mine.. Shut up Romi!! What the hell u r speaking... u r just blabbering too much.. This is Rachu's effect... u have started speaking like her.. Just shut up and sleep now.. Do not try to find the dead feelings in urself.. Focus on baba and his mission.. He is the only one who can help u in finding Rani.. But is he really trying to find Romi.. It has been so many years.. Will I be able to find her ever?? Is baba really making some efforts or is he lying and using me?? I need to sleep now.. I am thinking too much." He himself dint knew what all he spoke up.. Somewhere he had started accepting his feelings for Rachu and the truth he has seen in her eyes was making him believe that there is nothing between Prem and Rachu.. Somewhere he knew the truth of John too btu dint want to accept it as it was his last hope of finding his best friend. He closes his eyes and tries to sleep but sleep was too away from his eyes.. All he was doing was remembering the kiss with Rachu.. her soft lips and lovely eyes...

-------------------- -----------------------------------

Next day, Lunch time

Prem and Granny tries to stop Rachu from going Rehab but she denies saying she has to give party to rehab people... From last 2 years she is celebrating Adi's birthday with them and wants to do same this year too.. And she had already informed caterers to make food for them...

"Wait..I am coming with u too." Granny offer surprises her... Though Granny had came to her rehab many times but today her tone was bit different.. It was looking like she was going to meet someone there.

Rachu and Granny reach the rehab... The party was arranged in the lawn..Everyone was in the party except Romi and Monu... She wonders where they are goes to look into their room.. Granny follows her too... She gives Granny details of Romi's room and tells her to check him while she will see where Monu is..

Rachu enters the room where Monu is.. Monu was busy in searching something in his bag..

"Monu.. why u dint come for party??"

"I am searching something..."

"Really?? What??"

"Gift for Adi bhaiya.."

"Ohh.. n what is it??"

"I wanted to give him Bappa's picture that I had but not able to find it.. Will u help me??"

"Ya sure.."

Rachu takes out all the stuff of bag on the floor and start searching it.. Finally she finds a small pic of Ganesha and gives it to Monu.. The pic looked too old but she doesn't say anything.

"Di.. please give it to Adi bhaiya... Bappa is my friend and whenever I asked something from him.. he gave it. So u keep it with Adi bhaiya.. he will recover soon."

Rachu hugs him on hearing it from him.. "God.. please listen to a kid's prayer at least." She prayed silently..

"From where did u got all this items??" Rachu asks him while keeping his stuff back in her bag.

"I don't know.. I just picked it from here and there." He replied casually..

While keeping the stuffs back Rachu finds a broken sim in it.. Though it looked like as if someone tried to break it in two pieces but an end of it was still connected.. "Whose sim is this monu??" She asked him.

"I got it from Romi bhaiya'a room.He took it out from his phone and threw it.. I just picked it up."

"Ok". She keeps the sim with herself with the hope that it will work and give her some info about the drug racket. She gives the chocolates she brought to Monu and tells him to have lunch.

--------------------------- -------------------------

Granny finally finds Romi's room and knocks the door.. He was standing at the window looking outside and thinking about something...On hearing th eknock he turns around and finds an old lady standing at the door.. He recognizes her as Rachu's Granny as he had seen her once while roaming around Rachu's house.

"Hello beta.. May I come??" Granny asked politely.

"Ya sure.. I am sorry I dint recognize u.." He lied.

"U know Rachana.. ur friend. I am her Granny. U dint come to have lunch with others so I just came to meet u."

"Actually I do not like parties and all..I told Rac.."

He was feeling uneasy while talking with her.. He dint know what to speak and whether take Rachu's name or not.

"I know u and Rachu are friends.. in fact very close friends..."

"Did Rachu..."

"Rachu doesn't hide anything from me but this time she dint told me anything.. I am Granny and I know her very well so it was not tough for me to understand the change in her... Yesterday she was too disturbed and I know the reason was related to u.. I just came to tell u that my Rachu has seen a lot in her life.. First destiny snatched her parents from her and then her brother... She even left her dream for her father's business... Now I just want to see her happy.. I wish u won't hurt her ever."

"Granny.. Aunty.. Actually.."

"U can call me Granny.."

"Grann.. I will try but Prem.." He doesn't know what to speak.. The old lady was expecting him to make her life happy while he was there to snatch her life.. He was feeling too guilty to reply.. He curses baba in his mind for this mess around him... It was easy for him to kill the target without knowing anything about him aor his family but here the target and his family is expecting a lot from him.. Though he had decided that he won't kill her but he can't stay with her always.. Some or the other day she will come to know about her and will hate him to the core.. Unwantedly he will become the reason for her sorrows.

"Prem will keep her happy.." He said after a big pause... He truly wants Rachu to be with the person who can keep him happy.

"Yes.. he will. After all he is her best friend bt They are not going to stay together for whole life.. It's u with whom she sees her future." Granny said directly, unknown to herself that she had given the biggest happiness to Romi.. "They are just friends." The though itself gave him an immense pleasure.. Though few seconds back he wanted Kalpit to be with the person who can keep her happy but somewhere in his heart he was possessive for her and dint want her to go away from him.

"I.. I will try." He said.

Granny blesses him and tells him to come for lunch with her.. he denies and Granny leaves without forcing him.
