ZIDDI GANG-CHAPTER 1 ON PG 2

CHAPTER 1

Arjun looks at the trophy in his hand yet he felt no sense of achievement, no sense of satisfaction in him. Looking up as he hears the door open, he thrusts the trophy to the servant and said "put it in the room." the servant nods his head when arjun asks "has she had her dinner?"

The servant swallows and said "no sir. she has'nt." He waited for arjun to scold him but arjun simply nodded his head. The servant heaved a sign of relief as he hears the footsteps head towards the kitchen. Entering the kitchen arjun takes a plate and two bowls and starts putting dal, 4 chappatis and a little batata. Hearing a sound behind him, he turns to see a lady standing at the door with her arms folded. Age showed in the wrinkles on her face and in the lining of gray hair, yet a sense of dignity and a respect she commanded was there. She looks at the plate on arjun's hand and walks to the microwave. She takes the plate out and gives it to arjun. Keeping the plate aside, he took the plate from her hands and walked towards the bedroom, when she said "you should have said something at the function. It is rude to leave without saying anything."

Arj: I think it is fair to say that everyone expected that rudeness from me.

The lady "you don't represent yourself when you receive the award arjun. You represent the whole rawte family and rawte family has a reputation to uphold."

Arj: I know aai, that rawte family has a reputation to uphold. For the past 6 years, I have been doing just that.

And he leaves before his mother could say anything else. She wipes the single tear coming down her cheek and walks back to the bedroom. Closing the door, she picks up the phone and dials a number. Hearing it ring once, twice she is going to cut it when she hears someone picking it up. She asked "any information on riya's whereabouts?".

Arjun silently opens the door to see a lump on the bed. Walking silently, he removes the covers to see the lump being a bunch of pillows put together. The next moment he feels two arms surround him and he smiles. Pulling her in front of him, he looks at his angel's eyes and asks "why have'nt you had dinner yet?"

His daughter "you also did'nt have dinner na papa.?"

Arjun signs and said "anjali, it is not good to wait for so long to have dinner."

Anj: papa, where its long? Its just midnight. And tomorrow there is no school also. and according to the deal we made, I can wait to have dinner with you in the weekend or in holidays? So samjhe ya samjhau?

Arjun smiles and said "understood my princess."

Arjun breaks a morsel of chapatti and dips it in the dal and feeds it to anjali. Anjali breaks a morsel of the chapatti and dips in the batata and feeds it to arjun. For the next few moments father and daughter enjoy the silent reunion and feeding each other.

Anj: papa, can I ask something?

Arj: sure.

Anj: you won't feel bad.

Arj: did papa ever feel bad from his princess's questions?

Anj: papa, you call me your princess right?

Arj: right?

Anj: but princess comes only after queen. So was mama the queen?

Arjun stilled with her question. for a few seconds anjali sees a wide range of emotions in arjun's eyes, sadness being the uppermost. He smiles and said "right princess. Your mama was my queen."

After making sure, that anjali is tucked in properly, arjun gives a kiss to her forehead and closes the door.

Anj: papa?

Arj: yes princess.

Anj: don't ever try to lie to anyone. You would fail.

Arjun stares at anjali for a few moments and then a smile spread across his lips.

Arj: good night princess.

Anj: god night papa.

Arjun walks upto the balcony and stares at the moon. He remembers her soft question asking who will be his queen and then heard her voice that only she would be his queen and no one else. He thought "the only person who deserves my hate is you mrs riya rawte. you are responsible for roshni's death. Only you."
