FF: Lootera ~ Last Chapter on page- 85~ - Page 56

ps. I have to mention two names before you guys start to read this chapter. One is Dakzz, without whom this story would not have been possible. She helped me without any complaints, no matter whenever I needed it, be it the middle of night or day. She has a big hand in shaping up the story the way its progressing right now. She is the one who tirelessly listens mumbles of a senile person and made Lootera possible; because I was completely blank about what to write and she cleared the cobwebs in my mind. She is also the one who encourages me to write the romantic scenes and appreciates me without fail. Love you Dakkzy baby my anchor.

2nd person is Ayesha, also victim of my mumbo jumbo, our Doc. Love. Its beyond amazing how quickly we have become friends and she has become my pillar of support. I disturb her too with my problems 24*7 as she has become my go to person as well. She is the one who has proof read this update, when I was too sleepy to do it. I am so blessed to have you in my life dear. Lootera has given me so much.

I am so lucky.

Chapter-14

"WHAT WAS THE NEED OF SAYING THAT?? " The moment they entered their room, Bihaan burst.

"What are you t-t-talking about?" Thapki asked innocently, perfectly knowing exactly what had irked her husband so much.

"I was answering them, wasn't I?? Beech mein bolne ki kya zaroorat thi?"

"M-Maine kya b-bola?"

"KYA BOLA? yeh kehne ki kya zaroorat thi k mein dudh wala huun?? koun si angle sey mien dudhwala lagta hun? Did you see the way Dhruv was smirking when you said that? Man to kar raha tha saale ko du ek chamaat aur ---"

"Bihaan g-g-gussa mat hou...I said this for your well being only. Warna, tumhara kya bharosa...you are so hot headed, just to score against D-Dhruv you would have said, I am Raja, 'The R-Raja Daku', I am scary, be afraid."

"Main kya ullu huun? Main aisa kyon bolunga?? And LALU?? Duniyaa mein iske elava aur koi naam nehi tha kya? Lalu Prasad?? Yuck"

"I just said the first name that came to my m-mind, don't scold me so much Bihaan, I am not good at l-lying."

"I know you are not good at lying, so why do you even try? You should have let me handle this."

"Haan, Haan I know I s-suck at lying but what is the big deal? Itna kyon g-g-gussa ho rahe ho?"

"Gussa nehi hounga to kya main khushi se nachu? Mujhe tum Lalu Prasad Dudhwala bana diya?" Bihaan tugged his own hair in frustration.

"Haan tou kounsa paap kiya, daku sey to achcha hain na..."

"Tumse to baat kar na bhi bekar hai."

"Haan, to phir baat kyon karte ho?? Go to your b-best friend, Imli k paas, talk to her, and tell her all your secrets."

"Yeh Imli kaha se tapak padi beech mein? Why are you trying to change the topic?"

"I am not changing the topic, your best f-friend is the one who told on us. Preity Bhabi said, a woman called and gave Dhruv the information where we were, she didn't even want the r-reward money."

Bihaan was gobsmacked. "Imli did this? Are you sure?"

"You have some other w-women in your life too? Who wants to remove me from within your r-radius?"

"Thapki...stop it...If Imli ratted on us, she will be punished...I know she is a bit crazy but I can't believe she would actually do this...betray me like this. I am worried about Durga's punishment. What will he do to her..."

Thapki became angrier seeing Bihaan's crest fallen expression. "Why won't she do t-this? After all she l-l-loves you. This is her expression of love---her b-b-betrayal...and look she is successful, how worried you are about her welfare. And look at me. I happen to love you too, always t-thinking about how to protect you, how to s-save you, and in return all I get is your rebukes and s-s-scoldings." Thapki said in a huff and stomped away.

"Thapki come here, we are not finished talking."

"I am d-done talking to you, you thug, main ne toh sirf yeh kaha tha k tum Lalu d-d-d-dudhwala ho, toh tumne mujhe itna d-d-daata and now you know what I-I- Imli has done and you are worried about her? GO to her then." Thapki cried and ran to the bathroom intending to close the door with a bam. But before she could do that, Bihaan was there and holding the bathroom door.

"Leave it, l-leave the door" Thapki said crying.

"No I will not leave the door. We are not done talking."

"I am done t-t- talking...go to your Imli and talk to her...she understands you b-better than me." She said between tears.

"Nobody understands me better than you Thapki." Bihaan said in a placating voice.

"Toh phir? Why are you w- worried about that ch-ch- chudail? Remember how she talked to me? Why don't you want her punished?" She sniffed.

"I did not say I do not want her punished, I want her punished in fact I want to wring her neck myself. But she is Durga's daughter and my friend of sorts, she helped me when I was dying. When Durga will know of this treachery, he will punish her himself, he won't be lenient knowing she is his daughter. Durga is like that. And you have never seen his cruel side."

"Will he k-k-kill her?" Thapki whispered in dread.

"I don't think so but I won't be surprised if she will wish to be dead after he is done with her. And she will be a pariah too...we dakus have an honour amongst us, no matter what we never betray our own and she broke that code. "

" Good. You r-reap what you sow"

"What? You are not going to advocate on her behalf asking to spare her?"

"No...She d-d-deserves what she is going to get."

"Wah Thapki I never saw this side of you. It is not jealousy is it?" Bihaan said feeling happy at his wife's irrational jealousy.

Thapki grabbed Bihaan's collar and dragged him towards her.

"Yes. I am jealous. You are mine and only I have right on you. Anyone dares try to take you from me, main us chudail ki baal aur aankh d-dono noch lungi." Thapki said looking like a fierce kitten.

Bihaan couldn't help but feel more smug seeing Thapki's possessiveness. He put his arms around her shoulders and dragged her closer to him.

"Mujhe to meri junglee billi ki nakhun sey bada dar lagta hai." He said bringing his face close to hers, their lips almost touching.

Suddenly Thapki pushed him back. "Arrey" Bihaan exclaimed in injustice of being denied his kiss.

"Haan d-d-dar lagna chahiye, because I will use them on you too."

"Kyon? Maine kya kiya?"

"We were fighting did you f-forget? How nasty you were being to me?"

"I thought our fighting was over."

"How c-can it be over? Have you said s-s-sorry to me? Or even complimented me on this saree? Everyone said I am looking very b-beautiful in this saree but you"

"You always look beautiful, what's new in that? Come to me now"

"Nehi aungi" Thapki began to run.

"Thapki..." Bihaan began to run after her. Thapki climbed the bed and laughed when Bihaan swooped on her but missed and fell on the bed.

"Pakad sako to p-pakad lo..."

"Thapki stop it..."

"Puray din bohut tang k-kiya tumne mujhe, itni jaldi h-hat mein nehi aungi mein."

"Achaa? Let's see.." Bihaan redoubled his efforts in catching Thapki but she kept slipping from his grasp.

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

Dhruv couldn't sleep. Everything that had happened today was coming back to haunt him repeatedly and he was feeling suffocated. He decided to go for fresh air. His whole body was still hurting even though he took pain killers. His tooth, the one which had partially broken was hurting too. He needed to go to a dentist ASAP.

However, God had not completely left him as he despaired in the morning; God had made felt his presence by erasing Bihaan's memories. Not even for one second he bought the story of Bihaan living as a milkman these past few months. Yes he had become leaner and craggy but his muscles have become more bulged, matured and distinct, meaning he must workout. No milk man could have a well shaped body like Bihaan's. And the way Bihaan beat him today; he knew what he was doing as if he had lots of practice.

Bihaan and Thapki were definitely hiding something. His suspicion that Bihaan had been living as a daku was getting stronger by every minute. He just needed to find evidence and peg him as a daku then job done. Bihaan would be in jail for at least 20 years. And if he had murdered in the last few months then that would mean direct execution yippiee...Dhruv rubbed his hands in glee.

Dhruv hadn't realised when he had come so close to Thapki-Bihaan's cottage walking so deep in thoughts. Looking at the cottage, an image of this morning's half naked Thapki and Bihaan in each other's arms flashed in his mind and he shuddered. That rascal didn't waste any minute. He may not have his memories, but that didn't stop him from making Thapki ultimately his. Dhruv would avenge this, he vowed. Thapki was his and his alone, nobody could change this truth, and he won't allow anybody to change it. He turned around to go back, when he heard it, laughter. Her laughter followed by that bas***d's.

Without realising what he was doing, Dhruv moved stealthily and peeped through the split of a curtain from one of the open windows. And the scene enfolding inside sucker punched him into forgetting to breathe.

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

Thapki and Bihaan were standing facing each other, with the entire width of bed between them. But Bihaan was holding Thapki's saree's pallu trying to pull it off or trying to drag Thapki closer either or both.

Thapki was clutching her saree to her bosom barely, "Leave my saree you b-brute, don't you dare tear it."

"Toh come to me, I will not tear it."

"Nehi aungi, meri p-pallu chodo na?" Thapki pleaded.

"Make me." Bihaan climbed the bed and began to advance towards Thapki on all fours holding her pallu in his teeth. Thapki squealed seeing him coming closer and jumped away from Bihaan laughing.

"You b-beast, you have turned a wild animal living with them in this j-jungle for so long."

"Quite possible, Thapki now come to me like a good girl, or else you have no idea what this wild animal will do to you."

Thapki didn't listen; instead she tried to go away still clutching her saree to her chest as far her pallu allowed. Bihaan suddenly pounced and she screamed, she dropped her hand which was clutching her saree and ran. It was then easy for him, to take the saree off her. She twirled as he got her saree off, still trying to stay out of his grasp.

Bihaan threw the saree at a corner and started to pursue Thapki intently who was running all through the room like a rabbit.

"Once I get hold of you, you can't even imagine what I will do to you. Be afraid Thapki...be very afraid."

Thapki finally made a mistake in calculating where to run and Bihaan got hold of her that instant.

"Got you finally, princess. What will happen to you now?" Bihaan growled, holding her flushed against him.

Thapki began to twist and beat her hands on his chest. "Chodo, chodo m-mujhe, tum bohut buray ho Bihaan, you care a-about her more than me."

"Aisa hai kya?" Bihaan said and tore the thread on Thapki's blouse.

"Beast, you have t-torn almost all my clothes, what will I wear?"

"Nothing...you don't have to wear anything. I like it that way."

"Pervert, chodo m-m-mujhe aur jau us chudail k paas."

"Sach mein chala jaun?" Bihaan said, running his hand from her naked waist to her naked back.

"Hmmm" Thapki said but she stopped struggling and clamped his shoulders, pressing herself closer to him.

"Chod duun tumhe?"

"Hmmm" Thapki said again, trying to capture his lips, which he kept out of her reach.

"Sure?" Bihaan said smiling now.

"Beast" Thapki said and fiercely dragged his face to hers and started to kiss him with a hunger like no other. Bihaan was not the only one who was affected by Thapki's playful teasing since the game of cat and mouse started tonight between them. Thapki was starving for Bihaan's love, his complete possession and she wrapped herself around him moaning softly. Bihaan quickly took over her kiss and kissed her just the way she liked it best as if branding her. Thapki clawed into him, making soft noises, digging into him more.

Few minutes later, Thapki was wearing only her petticoat while Bihaan was fully dressed and that simply wasn't done. Thapki tore Bihaan's shirt front, buttons flying everywhere but none of them cared. She bit his lip hard enough to draw blood and clawed Bihaan's skin with her nails scratching him. Thapki's wildness made Bihaan lose his mind and he pushed her towards the bed until they both toppled into it tangled together. It was wild, the fire of passion completely consuming them.

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

Dhruv sat down where he was standing. He couldn't watch anymore. It was better to die than to endure the pain he was feeling right that moment. He may not be watching now, but he could still hear Thapki's moans and sighs of pleasure. Those sounds were driving dagger into his heart and he started to sob sitting there on the ground amidst the shrubs. Dhruv vowed he would make Bihaan pay, he would hurt that bas***d more than what he was feeling presently and tenfold. Bihaan may have Thapki now, but it wouldn't be for long. He should start counting his hours of demise. Soon Thapki would be making those sounds with him-- for him Dhruv pledged to himself. He would remove Bihaan's name from surface of this earth, from Thapki's mind and body if that was the last thing he had to do. He cried some more.

Around midnight, when Thapki was sleeping exhausted from their earlier activities, Bihaan kissed her forehead one last time and left their cottage as quietly as possible trying not to disturb her. Durga was waiting in the Tiger Hills for him.

Dhruv sat straight when he heard the creak of the door opening and peeked. It was Bihaan, freshly showered, his hair still wet and he was dressed totally in black. What was the bas***d up to? Dhruv wondered. Wasn't Bihaan tired? Dhruv himself was tired listening to their marathon session of lovemaking. But Bihaan looked rejuvenated and all pumped up as he quickly locked Thapki inside the room and started his way in the dark. This might be the break through moment Dhruv was waiting for. Bihaan was surely up to something and Dhruv would follow him where ever that bas***d was going so late at night. Dhruv started to follow him discreetly but it was difficult. Bihaan was quick and quiet; and his dress colour was almost making him invisible in the darkness of the night. Dhruv followed him until the edge of the forest.

"Sir, are you lost?"

Dhruv jumped in alarm and almost fell down. It was Dorai, looking at him gravely, the usual smile forever present in his face was absent.

"No-No-No"

"It is not good practice to roam around at night in a place like this"

"Why ever not?" Dhruv had almost composed himself by then, rage burning inside him for losing Bihaan. Now he would never know where that kamina was going.

"This place is not the city but a forest and at night wild animals get too close to the lodge. Anything can happen. It is for your safety I ask everyone to stay inside their room at night."

"Don't worry Dorai, I am a big guy, I think I can handle myself if such situation arises." Dhruv said wistfully looking at the spot where Bihaan vanished. He would never find Bihaan now.

"If I may, please sir let me escort you to your room sir, please."

"Yea okay."

After few paces Dhruv started to put his 2^nd strategy in motion.

"Dorai, how's your business going? Is this lodge profitable?"

"What can I tell you about my misfortunes sir, yes this lodge business is profitable, but I haven't reaped any profit yet. Kya kya sapne dekhete about this lodge, I wanted to make it grander. But I still have to struggle financially to simply make the ends meet."

"Why is that?"

"There are always problems I have to take care of and all the money goes in them."

"Like what?"

"Staff problem, water problem, electricity problem, wild animal problem, Durga problem---"

"Durga problem you say? What is that?"

"What to do Sir, to survive in a place like this; we have to learn to co exist with the devil even if we don't want to. Each month, I have to give a large sum of money to Durga to run this business here."

"Oh no, that must suck...such suffering." Dhruv tsked tsked.

"That is how it has been sir" Dorai shrugged.

"Dorai, how would you like to be rid of this Durga problem?"

"Sir, what are you saying? It is not possible."

"I think it is very much possible. Can I trust you?"

"Off course Sir, I am the most trustworthy person you would ever find."

"I can't help but notice that you are scared of my younger brother who has been living here. You don't even meet his eyes while talking and all the time cower in front of him as if in fright."

"What can I say sir, your brother has a very powerful personality it scares me." Durga said not meeting Dhruv's eyes.

"I know what you are hiding and not telling me Dorai. You know more about him than you care to admit."

Dorai remained quiet.

"I know Bihaan has not been living honestly these past few months and is involved with certain Bandit group which has made lives of people like you living hell."

"Sir, he is your brother, how can you say that about him?"

"Yes I am his brother, but I am also a dutiful citizen of my country. My responsibility towards my motherland, society comes first before any relationship. If that means I have to fasten stone in my heart and throw my younger brother in jail for greater good I will do that."

Dorai remained quiet.

"And Dorai, if Bihaan gets in, or should I say Raja? It will be matter of time before Durga will be arrested too. Police knows how to bring out information from criminals. And you all will be free of him and his gang."

"It is easier said than done."

"No Dorai, just help me, I have police, powerful personalities to support me and I will do everything in my power to bring justice...You already know Bihaan is Raja Daku but you are scared to admit this in fear of him; but I am not scared, help me expose him and I will help you establish this lodge in greater scale. I will completely finance your lodge's renovation. Think of the business that will bring?? Also you will be rid of Durga problem. Help me expose Raja Daku."

Dorai was quiet for few moments then said, "Thik hae Sir, but if you do not succeed in your plan don't drag me in to your mess. I will flat out deny everything--my involvement with you. You need to pay me before hand too so that I can start working on my lodge as soon as possible."

"Done deal Dorai, let's shake hands on it."

They shook their hands. Dhruv could hardly hide his triumphant smile. He could already taste victory so close.

"I will send two boys from the village to you tomorrow afternoon. They are very trustworthy and hardworking. They have recently lost their parents to Durga gang and are burning for revenge but are helpless to do anything against Durga's power. I am sure they will help you in gathering evidence against Raja Bhaiya."

"Thank you Dorai, I will arrange your money by tomorrow morning."

"Thank you sir."

"I will make sure you won't regret this deal."

"I hope you won't regret this either." Dorai said in a small voice.
