As usual my hindi sucks, please forgive me my mistakes in the hindi dialogues.

Chapter-11

Bihaan just started for the old timber factory which was about 2 hours away from the Lodge where he was staying, when his mobile rang.

"Hello?"

"Raja Bhaiya sorry to disturb you in your honeymoon, please don't tell Durga I called you." Chanda pleaded.

"Haan thik hai, kyon phone kiya?"

"Woh I came to the old timber factory but I am not getting some of the figures of the logbook. They are not matching my data. You have worked with it before please tell me what can I do? Durga trusted me to work on it for the first time ever; if I can't do it properly he will never trust me enough to give me a job this important again and will probably beat me to a pulp. Please Raja Bhaiya help me."

"You are at the old timber factory?" Bihaan asked surprised as Durga sent him the letter asking him to go there too.

"Haan, because you are not available he asked me to do it."

"But Chanda, Durga send me a letter asking me to check the factory logs today. I am on my way to that place."

There was a pause.

"Lekin, last night, in the meeting Durga asked me to do it. Yes, he did mention no one could do that job better than you, Raja Bhaiya, but he wanted to leave you alone. He asked us specifically not to disturb you in any cost."

"THEN WHO THE f**k SENT ME THE LETTER?"

Chanda was quiet again.

"Must be Ganju, Raja Bhaiya...I am almost sure."

"WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? DOES HE HAVE A DEATH WISH? Was once not enough? Is he itching for my beating again?"

"I think he is still miffed about the beating you gave him the night bhabiji came to us. He wanted to disturb you on your honeymoon. Must be his weird sense of getting back at you. Don't worry Raja Bhaiya I will break his leg and tell Durga what he has done."

"Make sure to keep one of his legs intact, I will break that when I get back."

"Okay, sure."

Bihaan then proceeded to explain Chanda how the work should be done. After all that was the reason Chanda called him secretly disregarding Durga's order. In his mind, Bihaan was actually feeling huge relief now that he could return back to the lodge to his wife. The fact no one was supposed to know where he was staying slipped his mind completely. Durga asked him not to tell anyone where he was staying; it was unlikely Durga himself would share his whereabouts. So how would Ganju know where to send the letter for his practical joke didn't come to Bihaan's mind at that moment.

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

Someone was kissing her softly in her lips which woke Thapki up from her peaceful slumber. She purred at the ministrations she was being subjected to. But Bihaan was supposed to be out for the day then who the hell was kissing her? She sat up abruptly only to see Bihaan clutching his nose and howling in pain, her head must have hit his nose when she sat up all of a sudden.

"B-B-Bihaan I am so sorry, baby, is it hurting too m-much?? I am so sorry...you c-caught me by surprise...you are not s-s-supposed to be here until evening...Let me get the i-ice for your poor nose." Thapki said miserably... tears forming in her eyes seeing Bihaan in so much pain and that too because of her. She tried to hold his head in her hands but Bihaan kept averting his head holding his nose in his grip his face scrunched in pain.

Before Thapki could climb down the bed to call for ice Bihaan fell over her body pinning her to the mattress hiding his face in her bosom. Thapki was sure, she had broken his nose and Bihaan was trying to hide it.

"Bihaan, let me u-up, you need medical at-at-attention."

"Yes I do..." He mumbled from her bosom.

"Then let me call the r-reception desk and ask w-whether there is a doctor a-available."

"I don't think doctors can fix my nose anymore. I need different kind of treatment." He mumbled now nuzzling Thapki's cleavage. But Thapki didn't notice that, she thought he was snuggling his face like that in pain into her chest.

"Baby, please let me s-see." Thapki cried feeling horrible by every passing minute.

"Mmm" was his only response and then he bit her.

"Oouuu---YOU-YOU- FIEND" Thapki exclaimed, beating now a laughing Bihaan.

"Y-You were just pretending to be h-hurt, while I was worried sick about you, you devious b-brute."

The more Thapki hit him with her little fists Bihaan seemed to laugh more; which in turn seemed to enrage her further.

"I hate you B-Bihaan" Thapki said indignantly with a huff. Suddenly his laughter stopped and he tunneled his fingers through her thick locks of hair tugging it hard, so that her head was pulled backwards and her body was pushed back to her pillow. He kissed her savagely until her flailing hands which were trying to throw him off her were clutching his shoulders pulling him closer, her whole body clinging to his. Only then he stopped kissing her and lifted his head. He looked at her gravely, "I dare you to tell me that again."

"I love you, Bihaan." Thapki said still in haze of passion and moved her head up to capture his lips in hers. But cruelly Bihaan denied her his lips, instead he pinned her to the pillow again and kept himself just out of her reach.

"I thought you hate me?"

"No- Never- I can n-never hate you Bihaan ...I love you f-forever and ever m-more."

"Then why say it?" He still persisted sulkily. He didn't know why he was acting so paranoid at such a small thing. He knew Thapki didn't mean it, was just saying as a retaliation to his prank. But he couldn't help but be insecure about Thapki's love. What if one day Thapki gets fed up of living in such a backwater place in the hovel of a house he has? What if she gets tired of living a life of a daku's wife, tired of living with him who has so little to offer her, who has to do morally questionable deeds as per his profession requires?? What if one day, she stops loving him and decides to go back to where she came from? What will happen to him then? He can never survive without her...

"I-I-I didn't mean it Bihaan, p-promise." Thapki pleaded him to believe her, still looking at his lips, wanting him to kiss her again.

"Just so you be clear, it doesn't matter whether you hate me or love me, I won't let you go ever, and I will force you to stay with me until I die." He said fiercely, looking like the mean daku that he was.

"Good, oh l-lord and a-almighty 'The Raja Daku', now kiss me properly will y-you?" Thapki said pouting her lips invitingly.

Bihaan rolled his eyes and complied with exactly what she commanded.

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

Next time Thapki woke up it was because someone was pounding at the door so hard it was in fear of coming out of its hinges. She looked around to see where Bihaan was, she fell asleep after Bihaan had his way with her. She blushed remembering the things he had done to her.

"DHUM...DHUM...DHUM" Thapki broke out of her reverie and heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. Bihaan must be in the shower. She picked up Bihaan's discarded shirt lying on the floor, donned it and walked barefoot to the bathroom.

"Bihaan s-someone is knocking on the door."

"Must be Dorai, ask him to go away ...no need to open the door" Bihaan said from the shower cubicle.

"Bihaan b-but it seems something urgent, whoever it is, is k-knocking pretty hard. Dorai never knocks like t-t-hat"

"Okay just ask whoever is knocking to come back later and then come back and take a shower with me?" He brought his wet head out of the glass cubicle and gave her pleading look smiling showing off his cute dimples.

Thapki shook her head at him exasperatingly and went out.

"C-Can you come back later p-please? My husband is a bit b-busy now." Thapki called out through a closed door. The knocking ceased immediately.

Suddenly the door broke and hundreds of people seemed to pour inside the room. Thapki could only give a broken scream before she was engulfed into a hug forcefully.

"Thank god! Thapki...my darling...I thought you were dead..." The hugger said. Thapki began to twist and beat her fists into his shoulders with all her might.

"GET OFF ME YOU R-RASCAL...GET O-OFF...AAA...AAAHHH..."

She very well knew the owner of the voice who was hugging her like that. She didn't know for which to be alarmed about, being in state of almost unclothed wearing only a thin shirt which was not even buttoned in front of so many men or being hugged by the man she hated most in her life.

"Thapki you don't know what you are saying...I am not one of Durga's men. I am your Dhruv sir" He hugged her more tightly as she began to hit him more.

"I KNOW V-VERY WELL WHO YOU ARE DHRUV PANDEY. Y-YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A PSYCHOPATH...A COLD B-BLOODED KILLER...GET OFF M-ME... I AM WARNING YOU...OTHERWISE Y-YOU WILL BE S-S-SOR------"

Before Thapki could finish issuing her warning Dhruv was wrenched away from her viciously and was knocked down into the floor. An enraged Bihaan seemingly lost his mind as he began to throw punches after punches at Dhruv without any mercy.

"MERI BIWI PAR HATH DALTA HAI KAMINEY?? " *Kick where it hurt most* "KUTTE, TERI ITNI HIMMAT?" *Punch on his face* "YOU WILL DIE TODAY" Bihaan took hold of his hair in dead grip and started to bang his head on the floor. The police men came forward to contain Bihaan and get him away from a bloody Dhruv, lying limply on the floor but Bihaan seemed like a hulk, kicking Dhruv, sniping at him until at last six officers finally managed to pull him back.

"LEAVE ME..LEAVE ME" Bihaan shouted, still trying to get to Dhruv.

One of the police officer came forward and hit Bihaan in his stomach with his truncheon. Thapki ran towards the police man and pushed him away.

"How d-dare you hit my husband? What is his c-rime? Saving my h-honour? While you p-pathetic guys kept on l-looking while this maniac kept hugging me a-against my wish?"

"Mrs. Pandey, you are not in your right form of your mind. Our sources have informed we might find you in this condition. This person is not your husband...he is a member of Durga's gang who has kept you as a prisoner against your will. The man lying in the floor is your husband."

"THAT MAN IS NOT MY H-HUSBAND." Thapki shouted. "And this m-man is not a member of Durga's gang. He is Bihaan Pandey, youngest s-son of Balwinder Pandey and my husband. We have been m-married for almost a year and h-h-half now. AND DHRUV PANDEY WANTS TO KILL MY HUSBAND."

"Mrs. Pandey, you don't know what you are saying..." The man said though he looked a bit dubious and looked at Dhruv Pandey. Could it be true Mr. Dhruv Pandey was lying?She was speaking so confidently and clearly...didn't look like she was crazy. And seeing the state of her cloth there was no doubt what she had been recently engaged on. There were no signs of injury or bruise upon her...and she was fiercely defending the person who apparently and allegedly abducted her.

"Oh-S-SHUTUP. You are the o-one who doesn't know what y-you are saying...And I will c-complain to the highest l-level even take your whole d-department to court for h-h-arassing me and my husband and working for a c-corrupt person and helping him in his w-wrong doings."

"Mrs. Pandey if he is Bihaan Pandey that would make him Mr. Dhruv Pandey's younger brother. You are bringing severe allegations against Mr. Dhruv---"

"YES...SO W-WHAT? THE FACT B-B-BIHAAN IS HIS BROTHER NEVER STOPPED THIS S-SCOUNDREL; HE WANTS TO KILL BIHAAN, AND ALMOST S-SUCCEEDED SEVEN MONTHS AGO. NOW HE W-WANTS TO KILL HIM A-AGAIN."

The police officer didn't know what to do, the scantily clad lady seemed genuine enough despite her shouting like a deranged woman, but could he doubt Mr. Dhruv Pandey who was famous for being truthful all the time.

"She is telling the truth." This time the voice came from the floor from Dhruv, himself who was trying to get up.

"He is my brother, Bihaan Pandey" He said as he finally stood up taking support from two police men and spit out blood and a broken tooth.

The men who had been holding Bihaan captive released him immediately and Bihaan stomped towards the bed in a huff scowling at everyone. He snatched quilt from the bed and draped over Thapki covering her from foot to neck. Thapki had long since forgotten what she was wearing in the heat of the moment and Bihaan's covering her made her aware again and she turned beetroot. Bihaan put his one hand around her proprietarily and drag her towards his body scowling more. He was still wet and only wearing his jeans, which he had not even buttoned, only pulled up the zipper. He didn't had time for drying himself or wearing clothes properly, the moment he heard the crash and Thapki 's broken scream, he just jumped out of his cubicle and dragged his jeans somehow not caring his wet state.

The police officer who had been talking so far looked at the couple, and then at Dhruv.

"Mr. Dhruv Pandey what is the meaning of this? You said YOUR wife was kidnapped."

"I am not his w-wife and was never k-kidnapped " Thapki said heatedly looking daggers at Dhruv.

Dorai who seemed to be skulking at a corner came forward, "I told you Sabji, I am an honest business man, I am not associated with Durga in anyway...and I am not hiding any Durga's men in my lodge...yeh do bachche pichle haftese reh rahihe idhar mere lodge pe...bohute sharif bachcha hai... but you didn't listen to me and you have barged into my property, destroyed it, harassed my customers...and not even shown me a search warrant, what will I make of it?"

"Mr. Dhruv Pandey, DON'T BE MUTE...IS THIS GIRL YOUR WIFE OR NOT?"

"No she is not" Dhruv said dejectedly looking at Thapki and Bihaan, standing half naked into each other's arms. He pointedly looked at Thapki's forehead where bits of her Sindoor could be noticed.

"MR. DHRUV PANDEY----"

"OUT", Bihaan cut the police officer mid-sentence. He snapped his finger and gestured outside his room. "EVERYONE OUT THIS INSTANCE" He looked at the police officer with contempt, who nervously cleared his throat.

"Mr. Bihaan Pandey I am so sorry to intrude upon you and your wife this manner." The police officer looked daggers at Dhruv."BUT-"

"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR PATHETIC SORRY...GET LOST FROM IN FRONT OF MY EYES AND TAKE THIS LOMDI WITH YOU."

The police officer cleared his throat again and gestured everyone to get out. Two of them began to escort Dhruv out but Bihaan held him back pulling his collar from his back.

"Aur tu...aaj toh tu bach gaya...lekin kab tak??" He threatened Dhruv regardless the presence of at least 10 policemen in vicinity. He then pushed Dhruv outside the door holding his collar. His commanding and fearful personality rendered all the policemen and Dhruv speechless and they scurried out of the room like they were ordered.
