CHAPTER 15


Sargam Bose was seated in his study early in the morning. His face was rested on the his palms, his deep set dark brown eyes were closed. His thick, almost horizontal brows were frowned, forming several lines on his forehead. He was thinking, how the life had changed in last 4 weeks... Since the day his only baby sister, his life line, their sunshine Shona was abducted by some terrorists following a plane hijack...


He couldn't forget that cursed day... He had just won a big case,picked their mom Sharmistha Bose from her office and went to a mall.. It was kind of ritual for him to do shopping for Shona, as he considered her as his darling,lucky charm... Shomi was not any less in this matter...Mother and Son just loved to pamper their Shona... That day Sargam wanted to get a new smartphone for her, to give it on the surprise visit to Hungary they had planned two days later. In the electronics store, he saw few Indians had gathered before the giant LED screen... They were discussing something in astonished voice , hearing that his heart clenched with fear...


" Didn't you see the news? An international flight leaving Delhi has been hijacked ! " Someone commented with surprise in his voice


Sargam rushed to that guy, "Excuse me? Do you know which flight?"


The person answered , " Yup, It's all over the news,you see. The flight was supposed to reach Budapest. The last situation is not good at all! They said pilots were shot and the terrorists had cut all connection."


Another lady commented, "Heard there were some foreigners and a medical team among the passengers. God bless them,please!."


Sargam had dropped the shopping in shock and froze... He looked back to see Shomi collapsed toto the ground..." Shona, mera baccha!" she broke into tears...


With most difficulty Sargam left for home with his mother... She immediately became ill... Two days went in foreboding fear and anxiousness... But then came the worst news they had ever heard in their life... The terrorists had taken their Swara and another young doctor with them, after killing Swara's mentor Dr Abhinash Mathur...


Their small family had crumbled again... Sargam began to regret to let his sister live away from them, to support her risky career choice... He regretted not being able to protect her, morose not being able to see her smiling face and musical voice through webcam...


After a week of Swara's kidnapping two agents from Interpol came to meet him. They informed that an agent accompanied Swara under fake identity to bring her back. But it would take time, and terrorist group is dangerous. They had insisted Sargam to leave London and settle anywhere else, for security reasons.

So He and his mom had finally moved to Edmonton,the festival city of Canada. He would join a law firm there next week. His mom, still not ready to take any professional commitment, tried to keep herself busy in settling their new home...


"Why Shona? Why you couldn't be an average girl? They said you were taken as you were the best! Please survive kiddo... I'll never let you go away again!" He was whispering, looking at eighteen year old Swara beaming from the photo frame.


A call from an unknown number brought him to the present... It was a video call... He touched the green sign on the screen... only to see two faces... a handsome young man around his age... And his Shona... smiling happily with tears in her eyes!!!


________________________________________________


"Shona! I can't believe my eyes! Tu zinda hai? Kuch hua to nehi? How did you contact?Where are you now kiddo?" Sargam thanked God, to keep his sister alive


" Uff bhai! Andar ki lawyer jaag gaya na! How much questions you will ask? See, I'm in one piece,escaped from the terrorists, still in the woods. About the call... Sanskar got this phone from the camp..He made this call as I was feeling low?"Swara chattered in happiness..


" Sanskar?" He looked quizzical.


Sanskar now spoke, "Hi Mr Bose. I'm Sanskar Singh Rathore, special agent of Interpol. Don't worry about Swara.. I'll keep her safe, I promise!"He smiled


"Thanks, Mr Rathore, for keeping my Shona safe... And don't be formal, call me Sargam only." Sargam's eyes were full of gratitude.

Sanskar nodded, "Then you should call me Sanskar only. Swara, tum baat karo..."


"Bhai, How's mom?"


"Oh Shit! I forget to call mom! MOM! MOM! SHONA'S ON CALL!"


Sanskar's heart danced in pride, for he was the one to bring the gorgeous smile on his Swara's face as she kept talking with her mom and Bhai.


________________________________





Swara gave back the phone after finishing the call. All of sudden, she hugged him, leaving him off guard. He couldn't leave this small chance though and hugged her back... Swara was murmuring in his ears

"Thank you Sanskar ! It really meant a lot...I'm so relieved they are safe now.."


They parted after few minutes and started to walk... "Shona, I think you forgot that popular. saying... Shayad thoda sa cheesy lagega. Ek baat Kaho.. Hum dost hain, hain na? ( Swara nodded her head) Toh Dosti main no thank you and... no sorry!"


Her eyes danced, " Kyun? Tumhari dosti mein rules hote hai kya?"


He leaned a beat towards Swara, uttered in his deep baritone "Rules nehi madam, dosti ke usool hote ,Samjhi?.."


"Hm. Okay done! Ab se no sorry, no thank you." She agreed
" Promise?" He demanded like a child asks for chocolates
" Promise."
" Good." He smiled


Tender feelings lingered in the air... Her doe eyes twinkled, lips curved to form a smile and legs almost danced to may her way to follow Sanskar...


_______________________________________________



Swasan were walking through the dense forest, the sun was kind and humble , not flashing all of his golden treasures to the residents on earth... The greenery in the woods was guarding the treasures spreading their shields underneath... So the Lady trotted through the ground merrily, following the Knight, who was leading the way cautiously.




"Sanskar, your parents must have pretty much caged life, isn't it? I mean to say... being in a profession like this... Tension for them is quite natural! How do you cope with it?" since Swara had spoken with her family, she came to realise, he had to deal with the fear for his parents on a constant basis. How difficult that must be!


Sanskar however, stared at her for a second, then smiled, "Oh, tumhare hisab se , Mr Ram Singh Rathore and Mrs Sujata Singh Rathore... my dear mom and dad... unka umr hogaya, toh uske liye mein pareshan rahunga?"

"Haww Sanskar, how uncaring and rude you are! Tum to bohot useless beta nikla!" she exclaimed. "Bechare uncle aunty!"


"Ha ha useless e toh hoon! Woh log khud itna kaabil to mein kya karoon? "


" What do you mean?"


"Do you remember I told you once that my parents had love marriage?" Sanskar continued seeing Swara nodding in yes, " Do you know where was their first meet?"
She indicated no.
" It was shooting range.. My dad came to his morning practice session, only to see my mom aiming at shot...that moment... One bullet hit two target!" Sanskar grinned, "They were both national level shooters, won medals in international level too... But they had an early retirement. My grandpa became ill, being his only child, dad had to takeover the huge Rathore business empire.. and Mom had to help him, then she conceived... But they still practise in their private shooting range... Moreover they have their own security guards 24 hours... You know rivals and all..."

"Hmm, You're lucky than your dad Sanskar ... You've got your Bhai.. At least you won't have to leave your job..."


"Ha, I'm grateful that I've got Vivek... and luckily He's 5 mins elder than me! But the bestest thing is we don't have same face!"


"Woh kyun?" She asked


"If my future wife ever confuses Bro as me... I won't be able to digest it!" He was all dramatic, with a hand over his heart!


"Aww, possessive huh!"She ruffled his hair, "By the way, uncle aunty had an amazing love story,I must say ! What a place to find your love! Hai na? Kash mera bhi aisa love story mila hota!" She sighed rather dreamily


Sanskar's tone suddenly became husky,with a tinge of yearning, " Tumhara love story mere mom aur dad ki Jaise, balki usse jyada magical ho sakta hai... AGAR TUM CHAHO TOH!"




_______________________________________________


The golden solar globe had raced a lot in the sky and was getting exhausted...He was nearing the horizon... golden flairs from him had changed their color like a chameleon, into mute orange shades... Two runway figurines were near to the some human habitation , their body and mind on the verge of retirement. They again changed their attire. This time Sanskar wore a dark slate blue colored casual shirt with denim pants, and Swara red and yellow printed knee length kurti with leggings. He handed her a small packet, which revealed wedding chain and vermillion box in it.


Swara exclaimed, " Sanskar! Ye sindoor... Mangalsutra... Ye Sab kiss liye!"


" Relax! Sindoor nehi, gulaal ... simple red color..." He tried to calm her down, "In village you'll not get any place to stay unless we show them we're married... oh We're changing names! Karan Yadav and Ria Yadav... Accountant and music teacher in Bangalore. We'll stay here only for 24 hours ... Then we'll meet our people on tomorrow evening. "

" Wow! Great!" there was hint of pained sarcasm in her voice. " Now there's a sequel to the drama! Fake engagement to fake marriage! Nakli mangetar se nakli biwi! Kya role mila mujhe!"


"Shona... I'm sorry...I'll not cross my line, I promise! Just like we had stayed in our tent" Sanskar looked down, again faced her to give some assurance.


"I know Sanskar! You don't have to say anything! I trust you!Now let me wear them."


She wore the wedding chain and applied slight scarlet colour on the partition of her hair. She felt so hurt... For him it's a mission, for him she's a friend, for him she adorning those signs is a part of creating a false alias. But for her? She didn't know why her heart was reacting so weirdly. Why it leaped when Sanskar said she too could have a wonderful love story? Why she couldn't accept the word "friend" from his mouth any more? Without any despair? May be having something more than the easy camaraderie they have, is her deepest desire? Did she wanted those two

signs to be her identity? Not disguise ?


Sanskar wasn't at peace either... She was hesitated in sharing a room with him ! "She should be! Just yesterday I had kissed her..." He thought guiltily... But she said she trusted him! Perhaps she forgave it as his mistake! Perhaps she never wanted to be seen as his wife, even under some pretense! His wife! How would it feel if Swara gets married to him someday! First of all, her name would be really long,he smiled inwardly... Dr Swara Sanskar Singh Rathore! " Sanskar beta! Udna maat! Tu khud nehi janta tere dil mein kya hai? You can't be distracted! Right now you have a mission to complete!" He berated his dreaming heart, tied in the reigns of responsibility...


____________________________


"Sanskar, do you know where are we?" Swara asked Sanskar


"The forest we're in is in Karnataka portion of Sayhadri mountain range. The site was cleverly chosen, I must say ! Sayhadri is huge, around 160000 Sq. Km area,who would have traced them? Secondly, journey to the borders by road takes few hours only... neither too close... nor too far... well hidden from Police,Border guards or intelligence agencies... They've chosen a heaven to create hell... Those numerous eye catching waterfalls you see here, are the segments of Shivanasamudra waterfalls of Mandya. The camp was near the smallest and remotest segments. The biggest ones are popular tourist spot, can you imagine!"Sanskar was describing like a zealous professor.


Swara was also listening like a good student. Suddenly a thought clicked to her, " Karnataka! And you said we're from Bangalore! I don't know a single sentence in Kannada! How will I manage there?"


"I know enough Kannada to survive for a day or two.. About you... I'll tell them my wife is from another state,ok?Now let's go!"




____________________________________________


Chilumputri was a small beautiful village on the bank of Kaveri river. The sun had blended in the azure , when Sanskar and Swara stepped in. Sanskar stopped a pedestrian to know a place to stay at night and eat, who suggested him a lodge near a dargah and gave directions.


The lodge was really small, an old one storeyed home with traditional clay tiles roof ,surrounded by a low brick wall, there was a small but well maintained garden, few rustic tea table and chairs in the porch. A man in his late fifties was checking accounts book, when he noticed the young, stunning but exhausted couple who just had reached.


The young man approached and folded his hands, "Namaste. Shubha syankla.(Good evening) I'm Karan Yadav and this is my wife Ria Yadav. n Bangalore linda band"ni. (We're from Bangalore). Is there any room available for staying at night?"

" Nimmannu bheti mdiddakke santosha, Mr Yadav.Yes we have room for you. I guess you're here for.."


"Honeymoon" Karan, alias Sanskar answered with a smile. " And you're?"


"Paresh Kothari... Me and my wife Janvi manage this place... Our lodge is not much, but you'll get clean bed and nice food... If you want , we'll also arrange for hot water. "


"Thanks, that's great... One more thing... Kothari ji, Ria doesn't know Kannada that much... Whenever we need something, I'll only let you know."


" No problem. I'll tell Janvi to send tea and snacks."


Sanskar nodded ,after that Paresh handed him the keys and lead them to their room...


__________________________________________________



."Yes, they are here, in Chilumputri, staying in Kothari's lodge... But sir, when I saw the girl in TV, she didn't have vermillion or wedding chain, which she has now..." A boy about 18-19 years old was talking to someone on cell phone.


"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? Are you sure you've seen HER?"Someone barked


"I'm 100% sure sir! She's one of a kind...s-s-. sorry Sir... I mean she was all over the news that time... Sir heard that a couple from outside the village had married in the temple.."


"STOP! STOP IT!" The man on the other line was shaking in anger. "Listen... I want that girl! You people are going to bring her to me... Do whatever you need to do.. BUT DARE you lay your fingers on her, I'll chop them off!"


"And what about her husband?"

" Kill him! But at any cost I want her! Sanskar Oberoi dead or alive... woh hum baad me dekhenge..."He cut the line..


" Swara ye tum accha nehi kiya! HOW COULD YOU MARRY HIM!!! You and Sanskar both will pay... You'll be mine!Only mine! So what you're his wife! Black wolves koi shaadi-vaadi ki parwa nahi karta!" Evil laughter of Laksh echoed over the mountains around him... Owls hooted in the background ... depicting a scary,sinister, scene from a horror movie...Where the villain looked borderline insane...


___________________________________________


"AAHHH! !! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD !" Swara shrieked. Sanskar who was going towards the balcony stopped midway and took a sharp turn.He in all concern had asked
"What happened Shona?Tum thik ho?"... Only to see Swara, who had stepped in few minutes after him... spreading her arms... Hugging the bed!!!

"Oh my darling bed! How much I missed you! That wretched sleeping bag had destroyed my back! I swear I'm not going for camping at least 2 years!" she was at her drama queen avatar!


Sanskar was taken aback... Swara was usually very sorted, sober, kind of serious... she was witty, had a sense of humour too. But he'd never seen her childish, carefree side...
" Dear wifey!" He mocked, " Did you leave your sanity in exchange of freedom? Lost your marbles? Oh God, why you blessed me with a whacko as a wife?"


"Excuse me Mr! Don't label my love for bed as craziness!I think you're jealous! Tumhe toh couch pe sona parega! Aur mein? araamse bed pe soke rahungi!" She poked out her tongue, teasing him, " Looser!"


"Looser? Me? Abhi baatati hu!" He chased her... she smiled like thousands of anklets chimed ... they kept running encircling the bed... he beamed like the brightest sun... she jumped on the bed to dodge him, only to lose her balance...

Sanskar had instinctively held Swara by encircling his one palm on her waist... His other hand wrapped her shoulder...He was standing near the bed.. and she was dangling in the mid air, her feet touching the top of the bed... Her ankles betrayed her again by slipping... her hands clutched his collar tightly...
She fell on the bed by a thud, with Sanskar on her... His muscular body almost crushed her soft petite frame..his face found its abode on the crook of her neck, where his rough lips unintentionally brushed the soft skin...for few moments both forgot the world around them... their mission, the lurking dangers, mind in constant battles, confused hearts, fear of losing each other... nothing matter at that moment... He inhaled the fresh flowery fragrance of her to his heart's content...lifted his face only to get drowned again into the never ending depth of her hazel eyes... Her heart was somersaulting, her cheeks turned as scarlet as the colour on her hairline... Sanskar noticed this crimson beauty, only to smirk with naughty glint in his eyes.


, " Now who's Looser, Biwi? Your so called hubby is a born winner! Don't think I'll leave my claim on bed easily , Samjhi?" He nudged her nose tip with his own... She clutched his collar more tightly... These time their eyes conveyed what they meant to each other... Their hearts took a small leap of faith... Her rose petals touched his jaw, whereas his rough lips kissed just above the cupid's bow of her soft ones...


They lived in true sense in that moment,in pure bliss, unaware of the waves of Tsunami going to hit their lives...


====================================





[/COLOR]Two brothers are introduced...


*Sargam Bose: None other than Gautam Rode can fit in his shoes, believe me! At least the characteristics wise..


*Vivek Singh Rathore : I would have used the name Adarsh, but that character pissed me off... Arjun Bijlani as Vivek Singh Rathore Fits the bill




============================%


** Kannada people, please don't be hurt as I used Sayhadri as Black wolves camp... according to the area I described previously , Geographically Karnataka matched closest with the description I used...


*** I have zero knowledge in Kannada.. few lines I used I picked from Internet... Pardon me


*** Chilumputri it is an imaginative village. The name means "daughter of waterfalls"


*** Shivanasamudra is real waterfall in Mandya district, 135 km away from Bangalore, has two main bifurcation then smaller segments


*** Sayhadri range- another name western Ghats ..

Talia

Talia,

I was and gonna be extremedy busy till 10 January at least... Sadly the next chapters are stressful, so can't compromise on quality. I try to push my boundary... like adding real places, a bit geography,detailing, adding a language i never heard or known before writing this chapter, just to add the regional touch.. Being Non Indian it gets tough sometimes. Langauge that I can't help much, but I can try na? ... I'm really sorry to keep my sweet girls waiting... I believe in fast updates and hate to be late...

I hope you loved Sargam. But you missed my daring Sujju and Sujju's Hubby; and their love story! My bullet raja and bullet rani! I'm eagerly waiting to introduce Rathore family... but that's gonna be late. 😭

Love,
Dyuti
