"Badi Mami!", barged in Patralekha into BK's room just before the elderly woman was ready for the bed.
She looked visibly shaken today.
'What happened Patralekha?! you look so angry and worried at the same time! Is everything OK? Did Samrat call you? He just called me and said he will be back tomorrow. So if you are worried for him..", she was trying to console the apparently worried wife, when Pakhi dismissed her.
"Lets discuss the most important things Badi mami", she cut her ready to pounce on her which made BK look little weary. These days she doesnt like this mature bahu of hers. She is proving to be a black mark on her family and her sons' lives. But she is the one who gave her power to behave as she wants, so she has to endure she thought silently saying "Kandoba!", and then asking Pakhi with her fake smile "What happened Patralekha, I havent seen you so agitated before?",
"Badi mami, how could you allow Sai to wear spagetti top and roam around the house. You always ask me to wear my lacey nighty in the confines of my room. This is not fair", she pointed out, clearly threatening the old woman.
BK has seen Sai wearing sleeveless dresses but she thought she looked decent enough to pass off as Chavan bahu so she did not object. Today she did see her in spagetti top, but still thought it is ok especially when her bahu is opening up and moving freely with her husband. She kind of liked the progress she intended to see so she kept quiet. But she did not like Pakhi pointing it out so blatantly. She controlled her anger and asked Pakhi.
"Patralekha!, Sai AFAIK will not roam around in the corridors like you do,", she coughed a bit to not sound too harsh on her "You see, she is just confined to her room and her husband's room.", she told softly.
"Virat's room! That is the problem Badi mami. She is Virat's friend and how can you let a young woman go to his room at late hours in that dress. And when I go to his room in my lacey nighty, Ashwini mami throws daggers at me with her looks and words.", she accused. "Do you know Virat doesnt even talk to me in that dress. I am his friend too. But today he was all giggles with Sai. Why is this unfairness in CN babi mami", she demanded justice.
Kaku understood Pakhi's delusions and being a science student in college, she thought of teaching Pakhi a lesson through experimentation and data. So she asked her to do this from tomorrow.
"Ok Patralekha, I understand your problem and we will find the solution together.", she said calmly. "From tomorrow you wear whatever you want. dress up beautifully. sleevelss, spagetti, deep neck, no neck whatever. And lets reduce Sai's exposure. Make sure she gets more and more cloth on her.", she said.
Pakhi is lost but she for once is happy that Sai will not wear the spagetti dress anymore. "Ok badi mami", she said and started to leave when BK stopped her.
"Wait. the main part is still left. Now take a pen and paper and note down how many times Virat looks at her in a day. say 7 AM - 7PM. and if possible how much time he looks at her every time she passes by. OK?!,", she asked her. "Remember you CAN dress whatever, huh", she stressed again. "And I will make sure Sai will wear whatever you give her. dont worry", she ended.
"OKK badi mami! sounds like a plan", she said not sure why she was given the task but she was more interested in packing Sai up in clothes.
From next day, Pakhi started dressing up like dream. Full on makeup, sleeveless blouses and expensive sarees and lacey nighties that everyone was gaga over her beauty especially Sonali kaku. On the other hand, Sai was back to full sleeve dresses, pale colors. Pakhi even went further and tore down old curtains to make salwar suits for her. Sai wore them deligently and went to college, not protesting to Kaku this time around lest she will be asked for the heir.
Everyone noticed Pakhi with pen and paper whole day but no one asked her why fearing Kaku's orders. And Karishma is on phone more than required, as per Kaku's orders too!!!
So after 2 weeks, BK called Pakhi to her room to show the results of their experimentation.
"Badi Mami, sorry to say that the experiment is wrong in the first place. You wont get much from my data even though I diligently gathered it. ", said Pakhi trying to put down Kaku's intelligence.
BK smiled slyly and asked her show the results.
"Wow this is a good experiment and proves my point!!", she exclaimed.
"What is there to prove Badi mami. He turned every time when Sai entered his view and saw her exactly for same number of minutes every time...", she said unenthusiastically. "And looked away only when called by others every single time", murmured to herself but BK got it.
"See Patralekha, that proves something right?", she asked again with the last ounce of hope that her elder bahu will think for once, but seeing no enlightenment from her side, she took a deep sigh and called Karishma inside.
"Karishma, show your results too", she asked her.
"What??? Karishma was doing the same experiment Badi mami? You are insulting me by not trusting me to do the experiment correctly?!", she screamed.
"Patralekha, cool down this is slightly different", BK said closing her ears and praying for her elder nephew silently.
"Kaku," said Karishma enthusiastically. "Virat dada consistently looked 0 times at Patralekha bhabhi every time she appeared. ", she chuckled. "And he turned his head around when she is in lacey nighty. So I counted it as -ve score to add more validation to our experimentation. Dado Sutto?", she bragged at her intelligence.
Pakhi was flabberghasted that Badi mami did something like this at her back so she threatened her to leave the house for this insult.
"Patralekha!! I just wanted to show you with the help of data that "Dress doesnt matter. The person inside the dress matters!. See I am a science student and a good one too", she praised herself before bidding her good night and not before saying "Dont worry! I will ask Samrat to drop you at your parents place. You can discuss this experiment with your parents leisurely and if you understand the meaning behind it, come back otherwise, enroll in another masters course and become more mature.", she taunted. going back to her bed. 😆😆
