Pratigya undulated over the bed , arching up involuntarily as her heart relived the night's events ... she opened her eyes , panting slightly n blushed crimson realizing that she was alone in the bed ... n then she shot up , the fact piercing her suddenly sad heart ... Oh! 2 days! ... she laid back lazily , her eyes gazing at his name in her mehendi pattern...her body was still very tired, pleasantly though... She sighed , kissing her palm over his name n hugging a pillow tightly to her bosom, her heart busy reliving the past 24 hrs... she had to get up as renuka called her , to get ready for breakfast n then the pooja at the mandir... pratigya bathed n put on a green saari n a heavy necklace , mainly to hide her neck from the view of the world ...
... she went downstairs for breakfast , n then went to mandir with renuka n sumitra n gayatri ... pratigya almost wished she hadn't worn the necklace bec all kept giggling correctly guessing why she was doing so... gayatri kept telling her about how bad she feels that Krishna had to go n she had to stay back , n pratigya tried to ignore her , immersing herself in his thoughts ... sumitra glared at gayatri , squeezing pratigya's hand motherly n renuka dried her sad eyes ...
Krishna looked at his watch , sitting in the Rolls Royce which picked him and shankar at the airport ... Shankar had already gone to SA hours prior to Krishna , to arrange his stay n manage the important documents for the deal n was back to the airport to receive him along with Mortaza's driver... she must be at the mandir now, he mused , as he swiped through his note , undecided ... He wanted to gift her SA diamond jewelry n he was feeling like his head was swarming with the endless stream of designs...he looked up as they reached Mortaza's villa... Mortaza came down the step to greet him even as Shankar opened the door for Krishna to get out ... Krishna shook his hands with Mortaza , who exclaimed...' long time, no see Mr. KST! ... ...krishna smiled ...'been busy...' ... mortaza looked around , curious 'oh yeah , busy ! ... I know...! Never thought u , of all the men in the world, would marry! ... hey, u didn't bring my bhabhi' ? ... Krishna sighed , climbing the steps ...'me too... she is caught up in family traditions! may be next time ...' ... he went straight towards the open courtyard of the villa , excusing himself , before the meeting began in Mortaza's office ...
He impatiently n eagerly dialled her number , his heart beating in his mouth , the feeling which he loved so much...
Pratigya blushed , gasping out as her phone rung ...she had been stealing glances to it every few secs as they were climbing down the steps of the mandir ... 'er..maji... give me a moment' she almost squeaked n ran up the steps , running towards the sacred tree ... sumitra n renuka exchanged knowing n happy glances while gayatri's face was sour ... 'hmm..' she hummed shyly into the phone , her eyes bright with happiness...' still at the mandir?' Krishna smiled into the phone ... 'how do u know?' she giggled ... 'KST's guess is almost always right...' he chuckled ... 'n let me guess again, u r standing near to our special tree...' he continued , his eyes full of her frame standing next to the tree... pratigya smiled shyly , n he too smiled , feeling her smile against his ears ...special tree indeed! They continued to smile as their hearts relived their moments near the tree...
'when's ur meeting?' she asked , tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her right ear ... starts in 5 mins ...' he sighed into the phone ... 'did u eat breakfast?' pratigya asked , concern in her voice ... 'yeah, in flight ... n suffice to say it was blah...' Krishna made a face , pacing leisurely , his one hand casually in his pocket ... pratigya inhaled softly 'krishna , SA is so known for great food n don't u dare ignore food in the midst of meetings ... Forget the flight food n ask shankar to bring u ...' She began , concerned , but pursed her lips as Krishna laughed out ...'hey! Mortaza is a good host ... don't worry ! he knows what I love n takes care of my appetite ...' pratigya smiled ...'oh really? Don't tell me he serves u kheer too...' ... Krishna chuckled manly 'well, no! that's the only minus... But then nobody could make me a kheer which could satisfy me , like u!' he said , his voice husky ... pratigya blushed , playing with her hair ... 'u will have to wait for 2 days ...' she said , her voice shy ... 'for what? ... U or the kheer?' he teased , not bothering to keep the lust out of his voice ... He felt her shiver against the phone in coyness ...' guess it , as u said , KST's guesses almost always turns out to be right, na?' pratigya breathed , challenge in her voice ... Krishna groaned into the phone , desire spiking inside him n she felt a delicious tremor up her spine ... 'care to guess what I have in store for u...us... later today?...' he said , his eyes smouldering... 'what?' pratigya asked , taken aback n yet curiously shy ... go home n find chandu ... he will give u something... N then call me...' Krishna cut the phone , smirking ...he ran his hand through his hair , walking towards the hall... Pratigya gazed at the phone , shy ... Knowing him, she could very well guess that he has something naughty up his sleeve ...
Pratigya was going to climb inside the BMW when they were surrounded by photographers n media ... the guards managed to help them escape in quick time ... one journalist , named Amir, detached himself from the crowd n dialed a number ... Priya, in her bridal dress , attended the phone, her eyes glinting evilly ... she had tried her level best to get KST interested in her but had failed miserably ending up being just one of the holes' as he saw them , but she had ranted to anybody who will listen how special she was to him ... all her high lies had fell flat when KST - Pratigya love story n subsequent marriage happened ... her father , a reputed coal industrialist in UP, had to hastily arrange her marriage with his best friend's son , ketan , an SI at Allahabad police station , soon to be promoted as he was so close to durjjan n shailendra ... priya had completely freaked out after knowing about pratigya's marriage n she had been seething all the while ... but after watching the kriya interview together , her jealousy n loathing knew no bunds n she just wanted to demean pratigya , somehow ...anyhow... she had bribed a page 3 reporter n had asked him to paint Pratigya in bad colors , but making it seem like regular page 3 gossip n flashy stuff, so that they don't end up in serious trouble... 'yes , madam... As u said , I have got the pics n don't worry , it will be in all major national entertainment media ... I will send u the pics n tell me what caption would u like?' amir said to priya over the phone ... 'oh yes! Send them to me... I will tell u after seeing them' priya smiled nastily...
Gayatri watched pratigya climb the stairs , her eyes slits ... time to begin Plan A... she thought as she hastily began to climb behind pratigya ... 'pratigya beti..' sumitra called , climbing up behind them... 'ji maji...' Pratigya turned to watch sumitra walk past gayatri towards her ...'beti , I want to talk to u ...' Sumitra said , her tone embarrassed ... pratigya nodded , curious , n they both climbed the rest of the stairs , gayatri glaring at them... sumitra closed the door as pratigya stood nervously ...'well ... ahem... Chandu was saying that Krishna has planned for a honeymoon once he gets back from SA ...' sumitra began n pratigya couldn't help but blush ... so ... er ... ... so I just wanted to ask if u might need ...any birth control pills or ...u know? ...if u want , I could ask chandu to place an order '... sumitra finished with an embarrassed smile ... Pratigya went beet root red ... 'oh no maji ... I mean ...yes maji ... I ...I mean yes! ...' she stuttered , looking anywhere at sumitra ... 'ok, that's settled then...' sumitra smiled ... 'however much I want to see my baba's ladla or ladli , I know that ...u both might ...want to enjoy ur time together ... it's natural ... I just ... I mean, I know that u r too shy to bring the topic n well, Krishna is too thick headed to pay attention to the simple fact ...so ... I decided to talk to u n ...' sumitra stopped , finding pratigya clasp her palms around hers , her face shy n grateful ...' no maji, it's ok ... N u r right ... I will most probably waste the whole time in trying to talk about the matter rather than ...' she inhaled suddenly , blushing ... was Krishna talking about this thing? That chandu will give her something? Oh! ... Sumitra noticed the sudden change in her ...'what beti?' ...' no ... nothing ... yes ! ... I mean ... did chandu bhaiyya want to see me...?..' pratigya asked , tensed n frantically shy ... 'yes! Ofcourse ... but he is not here , he went with krishna's bauji ... but yeah , he gave me this to give it to u ... Krishna told him to give it to u...' sumitra smiled , placing the key of the rover in her hands ... pratigya blinked ... The keys ! ... he is giving his rover key to her! What's there so much to think about it! Its just a silly ...common ... no! if he purposefully asked chandu to give her the key , he must have something up his sleeve ...yes! Pratigya took the key from sumitra , smiling nervously ... does he want her to open the rover? Oh! May be he must have some gift for her! She fisted the key in excitement, watching sumitra leave ... she was about to leave behind sumitra when she remembered that he asked her to call him ... she grabbed their private phone , excitedly dialing his number ...
Krishna gazed at his phone as it vibrated , sighing ... he was inside a wide hall where there were 20 other men from all over the world , and a table full of precious diamonds in between them ... Mortaza looked up at him , a question in his eyes n Krishna shrugged , indicating him to continue , keeping the phone aside ... he so wanted to talk to her , she must have got the keys, but he don't want to spoil the moment by having his mind waging a war of leaving the meeting midway and trying not to sound to her as if he is in a haste to get off the line ... No! he will have to wait till the meeting is over!
Pratigya sighed , replacing the phone ... ofcourse , he must be busy! ...how stupid of her! ... she changed quickly n went downstairs...she had worn a salwaar so that the shawl could hide her neck n collar... She tried to help in kitchen but neither suimitra nor the head maid let her n she had to come back to the hall ... gayatri , walked towards her clearing her throat ... 'pratigya beti , a word with u , pls come to my room...' ... pratigya followed her curiously to the room... 'what's is it , ma sahib?' she asked ... 'this ...is what it is!' ma sahib turned to face her , an ornamental blouse in her hands ...pratigya went red ... that was the blouse she wore for wedding night... but! Didn't she place it inside her dressing room for dry cleaning? ... Oh! But ofcourse , she was so immersed in him n being with him all the day that she had completely forgotten about it n some maids who must have come to clean the room had taken them! ... oh!... 'what... ma sahib?' she stuttered , embarrassed... 'I have known Krishna for years n I have some idea about his lust, but surely pratigya beti , as I have said earlier too , u , as the bahu of this house has to take care of its expenses n traditions ... but!...' she sighed dramatically ... pratigya blinked , confused ... 'I am glad a maid took it for dry cleaning n she found out n gave it to me...u very well know that this is the traditional attire of the bride of the haveli n now look at this ...' gayatri said dramatically giving the blouse to pratigya ...
Pratigya gasped out , her face beet red ... the blouse was torn ! ofcourse ! ... Her reeling mind supplied her with images n sensations from yesterday night n she bit her lower lip , remembering how he had torn the knot ... Uh! ... 'I ... I ..' she stammered stupidly , embarrassed like anything ... 'ofcourse now we have to replace it ... Now! I can't do anything about his lust but I definitely did not expect this from u , the bahu of this haveli , even after I have told u to take extra care about his tendency to go overboard with u ... I mean , u let him go on a hurricane shopping spree , just a few weeks into ur marriage n now this! ... Oh! I can't even imagine replacing the traditional bridal attire after almost 2 centuries in our haveli... do u even know the value of it?'... pratigya gazed down , tears filling her eyes , feeling bad ... how's she supposed to stop him when...when they were loving each other? ... But ma sahib is right about the shopping thing! U know he spent too much that day n many of the jewellery n dresses were still locked up , unused ... her guilt told her... 'of course , don't feel bad beti gayatri patted her on her shoulder ... I know sumitra won't tell u all these n even I don't want tell u these things but then I thought u know it already ...hmm' she sighed dramatically ... 'now, u know beti, its not about money ... its his money n ofcourse he has plenty of it but that's not the point ... I have known him all these years n u won't believe the number of rovers n watches he has replaced or thrown away over the last few years ... just like he uses everything else , right from a mere tissue paper to girls ...its in his nature so I can't blame him...' gayatri continued , looking at pratigya's face... pratigya had flinched a bit at the mention of how he sees girls...
Gayatri went on , her eyes sharp ...'sajjan is so worried about this careless attitude of him...as I said , its not the money ... N I can't see my brother worried... I hoped krishna will have a bit of discipline in his life when he decided to actually marry u ... I mean, I thought he started to see u as different from other things, but , oh well'... she paused dramatically , looking closely at pratigya... pratigya had looked up, confused ...what's that supposed to mean? She didn't have time to think through as gayatri jumped ahead... ...'the media just won't stop poking their noses into our business, as u know, we r constantly under media glare... N the stuff they write about him , as how he is being obsessed with luxury n about how he is never satisfied even with so many girls...ofcourse , they exaggerate a lot but we can't deny the truth , u see ... I mean, u get my point, right? ... U r the bahu of the haveli n u have to manage its expenses ... just don't let him continue his careless , use -throw attitude , I hope u understood beti?...' ...pratigya nodded to the floor , a sob threatening to escape her throat... well masahib had a point ... He had this attitude! But ... But he is changing , isn't he? ... Atleast he hasn't changed his rover for silly reasons lately ... she nodded to herself , her heart feeling lighter ... But ... but ...why is she bringing his attitude towards girls in all this? ... pratigya took a deep breath , trying to calm down... ... He loves me... with all his being ... she felt her heart brim as she sighed n walked back to the hall ... gayatri watched her leave , her eyes slits ... well, first part of plan A over... She was a bit successful in making the girl feel guilty n also trying to slither in thoughts about his attitude towards things' around him n how he treats them...let her mind be a bit confused...now she will have to wait a bit n attack again...
Pratigya spent the rest of day till evening , arranging his study ... she could see that he had a good collection of books ...all the bitter words she heard moments ago seemed to vanish as his smiling , loving eyes filled her heart... ...she caressed a wavy couch in which he usually sat for reading , feeling his warmth under her fingers ...
She sat down n then laid back leisurely , curling into a ball , her eyes drooping in his thoughts ... happiness ... bliss ... every single moment in her life filling with it... She could just feel his arms wrapping around her lovingly n yet possessively n she cuddled in to them , sighing ... huh...' she started , sitting up as she heard a knock on the door ... She looked around , wiping her face , her eyes widening as her eyes fell on the clock ... it read 8 pm... she had slept soundly , her body n heart stated ... 'pratigya beti , u up yet? ... ur friend malini is here ...she is waiting in the hall...' Renuka said , knocking on the door again ...' ji ma, coming...' Pratigya opened the door , excited ...
Malini n pratigya hugged , giggling away ... 'oh pratigya , u look so radiant' ... malini gushed n pratigya blushed ...' how r u? where's ur parents ? ... pratigya smiled , sitting down with her on a couch ... Malini shrugged 'they r at the pre wedding function of priya ...u know I can't stand her so I refused to stay on the condition that I will be there during the marriage function...' ... 'gr8 , do u want to eat something bef...' Pratigya began but malini laughed ... 'oh madam, I already ate n drank juice ... for ur info , I am here for the past 2 hours ... but u were so soundly asleep that I told ur mother not to disturb u...' malini giggled ... pratigya blushed ... 'ahem , ...' malini lowered her voice , pinching pratigya on her thigh 'I came to know that ur thakur sahib had gone out of the country ... why do I think that he seldom lets u sleep n that's why u r compensating for it now ...' ...'malini' pratigya gasped , trying to sound as if she don't know what malini was talking about but her blushing , beet red face gave her away n malini burst into loud giggles , trying to tickle pratigya ... 'no ... malini ... pls ..' pratigya blocked her hands , giggling shyly ...'what's happening here ?' gayatri cleared her throat , her eyes slits over malini , raking her modest salwaar n accessories ...
pratigya n malini stood up , with pratigya smiling apologetically ...'oh , ma sahib... She is malini... my best friend ... n' ... pratigya stopped short , feeling awkward as she suddenly remembered that she didn't inform ma sahib about malini staying the night in the haveli ...' er... She ..' she began , feeling guilty but sumitra , who came to the hall , came to her rescue ...'malini will be staying the night here at our haveli , ma sahib ... I mean after she comes back from the marriage function ... ' ... pratigya n malini smiled at sumitra while gayatri's face looked sour ... she walked away ... 'malini beti... I have asked shiv to arrange a car to take u to the wedding venue '... ...malini smiled politely to sumitra ... 'thank u so much Thakurain ji...' ... sumitra smiled back , a tinge of sadness in her eyes ...thakurain! she had almost forgotten that... malini turned to smile at pratigya , squeezing her plams as sumitra went away ..'oh, u have a sweet MIL , pratigya... so lucky u r...' ... pratigya nodded smiling 'yeah , she is ... N I Am...' ... 'so I will try to be back soon ... I don't think I could endure watching the whole function n especially that priya's face ... oh , but ...' malini said , as they walked towards the exit ... 'hmm'... pratigya nodded absently as she saw shiv opening the door of the BMW for malini , who climbed in enthusiastically , looking around in wonder ... oh the keys! ... Why would he give her the keys to his rover? She must find out ... pratigya thought , even as she smiled n waved at the retreating BMW ...
Gayatri slammed the door shut , fuming ... the s**t is allowed to invite her friend n even arrange her stay in the haveli ! ... this is getting really dangerous! ... She is not just his wife' , she has complete freedom n authority in the haveli! NO! ...which means she is already the malkin' !... She must speed up her plan!... she opened her phone absently n found a msg ... her eyes glinted evilly ...oh! She had completely forgotten about that!... she quickly opened her computer , checking her mail ... how could she forget the routine ? may be because krishna was so obsessed over that bitch n the sudden turn of events n their marriage n the tension...! ... her face twisted in an evil smile as she clicked to print the contents of the mail...
Pratigya changed into a simple saari after dinner n glided towards the balcony , caressing the keys of the rover in her right palm a shy smile in her lips ... why would he want her to have the key of his rover? ...obviously he wants u to open it n find out, u idiot! ...yeah but he wanted her to call him!... Could she try n call him now? It will be already 9 there , she mused, calculating the time gap... the night air brushed her skin n she sighed , feeling his arms around her , n his warm breath over her ... She closed her eyes , sighing sensuously as she hugged herself ... She felt his naughty chuckle in her ear n she shivered deliciously 'so eager to find out what's on my mind?' ... 'no ... Eager? Who ? ... no ... not at all...' she breathed , trying to stop her voice from quivering in anticipation ... 'I believe u' he laughed out , his arms tightening around her as he pulled her against him, her back to him... she blinked , gasping ... N he was gone ... she turned n swirled in the balcony , foolishly looking for him n then giggled shyly ...
Krishna stretched n yawned , as soon as the meeting was over ... So did many others around him , smiling at each other ... they all had decided on a price for the diamonds , the proceedings of sale of which was agreed to complete the next day ...they all filled out of the conference room, to the hall... 'I know u r all feeling bored now , n guess what ! I know just what u guys need to get rid of that kinks in your body by sitting for so long' ... Mortaza announced , smirking ... Krishna looked up as some of them men wolf whistled ... 'play time , boys!' mortaza chortled , winking as a servant opened a door to let in a group of almost nude girls , all flashing their near nude bodies, making lewd movements n giggling in a s**tty manner ...
