Chapter 14
Next morning Pratigya dropped Komal & Arushi off at tuition-then headed over to the school to meet the Principal.
"Hello Miss Pratigya, very nice to meet you." The Principal was a short lady, standing around 5ft2, maybe in her late 30s. She had on a plain designer sari. She shook Pratigya's hand.
"Good morning Principle......" She stopped, she didn't know her name.
"Its Shivangi Sinha, please call me Shivangi. I wouldn't want my staff calling me principle ' that is there for the students only."
Pratigya took a liking to her already, she doesnt seem strict thank god!
"So Arushi, your sister, approached me about you working here as a dancing teacher ' to tell you the truth i was hesitant at first, because we had no such luck of dancing in this school for many years, but then i saw your videos and have to admit you have an amazing talent"
Pratigya smiled, "Thank you very much, i have trained since i was young, not professionally, just learnt everything from TV"
"I can see it comes naturally then. You are what this school needs, students have been demanding a dance teacher for a long time, but unfortunately we had no such luck. But with you here our students will be happy."
She then started explaning how she would be introduced on the day of the school performance, which was few days away.
"Arushi had told me you, her and Komal will be performing on a number ' if you don't mind doing another one as that is how i can introduce you to the student body."
"Another dance..?"
"Oh why is that to much? Dont worry you don't...."
Pratigya laughed, "no no i meant it would be an honour to do another dance, i absolutely love dancing. If you end up telling me to do another 10 dances i will." Pratigya was excited.
"Wow i really like your enthuism about dance, im sure you will be with us for a very long time."
She then discussed salary and told her the appointment letter will be given on the day of the program.
"i will see you on te day of the program, good luck and tace care"
Pratigya left from there, she was feeling very tired. She didn't know where to go, home? NO! Not over there, not with dadi! I guess back to Komal's house then? Yes. She would be alone there, since Komal and Arushi are planning to go after tuition, with some friends. Thy had invited Pratigya but she didn't want to intrude. She walked around her silver Mercedes SL class.
She was feeling hungry, so thought to get a snack. She stopped and looked around, she could only see a small stall in front of the school. She started walking towards it, when she noticed a guy by the stall sitting on the bench. He looks familiar, oh yeah he was with Krishna back at the house. Hope he doesn not see me. He was with someone else today, maybe another one of Krishna's friends?
Sh quickly walked away towards the stall, but she saw that Krishna's friend noticed her and started whispering to his friend. Why are they whispering, as Krishna been talking about me....good or bad? Pratigya wondered.
Duh obviously bad, he heates you darling. Her conscious replied. She ignored it and went over to the stall.
She saw the shop keeper and freaked out, she regretted coming here. She examined his face closely and made a funny face, ewww red lips, seriously? Too much paan, disgusting! She wanted to puke literally.
He spoke, "kaabe ' aisa muh ka bana rahi ho, kuch hai mere sundar se chehre par?" Then he started moving his hand his hand around his face, checking himself out in the mirror.
She felt disgusted, but wanted to laugh. " yes your disgusting red lips freak." She couldn't stop laughing now.
He looked confused, she knew he wouldn't have known English, that is why she said it.
He looked "kaabe-kaahe bol rahi he chori? Aur hass kyu rahi he?"
Pratigya calmed down, "kuch nahi, wo chocolate do na uncle." She said "uncle" on purpose; she was cracking up in her head.
He was about to grab the chocolate when he realised what Pratigya said. He stopped and looked at her.
"Ka? Ka kaha tumne?"
Pratigya was pretending to act confused, "kya? Mujhe chocolate chahiye?"
"Oh acha me kuch aur suna tha...yaha sab kuch import export milta hai" He happily said. Import export?! Damn what kind of people do w have in this world?
She was waiting for him to give the chocolate buh he kept staring at her, which pissed her off. She knew his looks wern't pure.
"Kya??"
"Kucho nahi..ye low tumre chacalate"
Pratigya wanted to laugh so badly but she controlled it. She looked over at Krishna's friends, they were still whispering and on the phone. They seem to be giggling; she then turned back to LH (Laal Honth).
"Ye sab mila ke 100 Rupees"
Pratigya was shocked; she knew he was trying to scam her to get more money "100 R? Bullshit, no way this tiny piece of chocolate is 100R ' don't try to rip me off freak" She was pissed; she does not understand why shopkeepers love to rip off their customers.
He was confused, he didn't understand one word she said, she had to treanslate it for him.
"Is chocolate ke liye 100R, me tumhe 15R dethi hoon" Sh then showed him the price tag on the chocolate. That shut im up, A Hole! He took the money silently.
She turned to walk away when he stopped her and asked if she was the Professors daughter, to which she replied
"Nahi, Santa Claus ki beti hoon, North Pole se aayi hu.." And walked away, last thing she saw and heard was Krishna's friend laughing on the phone.
She walked back to her and turned her car engine on, but then she got a phone call
"Hello, is this Pratigya?" Hmm this voice sounds familiar.
"Yes, who is this?"
"What?! Your already forgot me Pratz!" omg was it really her?
"Neha?!"
"Hell yes" The girl answered
Pratigya was shocked, "OMG is it really you?!"
Neha was one of her other best friends back in London. However, Neha was moved to India (like me)3 yeard before, due to family circumstances. They have not been in contact for a long time now, they slightly drifted away. This is why it was a big shock for Pratigya for Neha to call.
"I cannot believe it is you, im shocked, we have to meet up ' how are yu doing? How did you get my number?" Pratigya said everything in a rush, forgetting to breathe.
"Pratz, hun calm down...breathe in and out" and she started ding it over the phone laughing at the same time. She still hasn't changed, she was the little joker of the group.
"Chup kar...hey how did you know i was in india"
"I got your number from Shreya yesterday, I talked to her after many many months, same for you as well" Neha explained. " By the way i have heard alot about the Professors beti at University"
How is that possible, unless she's in the same town as me??
"wait are you saying were both in the same town?" PRatigya was getting excited.
"Yes hun, we are. This is a major coinky-dink since i am studying my last year masters here"
They then decided to meet up soon as possible and also they would go together to pick up Shreya from the airport. They bid farewell and hung up their phones.
She then drove back home! That is Komal's home.
Krishna looked at the time, it was now 10:00am. I have been waking up way too early these days. He decided to have a shower and have a relaxing day at home.
But you never have a relaxing day at home, you are always out with Tunna and Chandu, his conscious replied.
Well i feel like a change today, there is nothing bad about it. Krishna was actually replying to his conscious.
Hmm, is it for a certain someone??
Is it? ...Krishna wondered.That thought quickly went out of his head as he quickly went to the main room to watch TV.
He then got a phone call from Chandu, he guessed he was on speaker phone because Tunna was speaking to him as well. Didnt Chandu go work? Krishna wondered, Oh wait he does not walk everyday.
They told him the encounter of Pratigya "bhabhi" and Angadwa. They both laughed so much, he hardly understood them, he had to make them repeat it.
He couldn't believe it, Pratigya has guts.
"Ab ye Angadwa ka kya kare bhai?" Tunna asked. "uska pitaai kare?"
Krishna definitely hated Angad, he didn't want anything to do with him now but will sort him out soon "abbe wo chodo, hum baad me dekh lege...Muje ye to batao ke Pratigya theek he na, Kuch aur nahi hua nah?"
Krishna could hear Tunna sniggering in the background, while Chandu answered "Nahi usne aisa jawab diya ke Angadwa kuch samaj mein nahi aaya. "
They talked for another ten minutes and finally hung up. He then continued watching TV, flicking through the channels, bored out of his mind.
It was now 11:30am and Pratigya entered the house. Krishna was lying down on the sofa now, his feet were up and he was facing Pratigya.
She stopped and they looked at each other, i forgot shes here, Krishna thought.No you didn't, hahahaha stop fooling your self...his concious replied
She was about to walk to her room when Krishna blurted out "HI" it was random and quite loud.
She stopped again, looked at him and replied back with a small "hello"
Krishna got up and walked abit closer to her, she seemedto have taken a step back. Was she scared of me?
"ermm how do i say this?.. I need to talk to you about something, Is Komal or Arushi here? He had to ask about then, because he didn't want tem listenin in to this conversation, especially not Komal. I do not know how it will turn out. And he didn't want to be on Komal's bad side.
He examined her closely, she was wearing black skinny jeans and a seleeveless top, with a low neck. He quickly looked away, pretending he didn't notice anything.
"no, they are at tuition, then they are going out with friends. They will be back after few hours. What did you want to talk about?" She looked slighltly frightened. Why?! Okay Here goes nothing.
"Okay so you say I felt you up, but why is it that i do not remember doing it ' and because of your antics Komal is not talking to me properly. Why did you have to say everything in front of her, we could have solved the problem privately." He was upset, he didn't mean to say it like that but it all came out. Pratigya looked plain shocked; I guess she was not expecting me shouting at her, neither was i!
Pratigya was quier for awhile then replied "Well you did feel me up. Why would i lie about that? I am not desperate for attention." Her face softened a little, "Look i am really sorry about Komal finding out, I didn't not know you two were siblings before and it all came out. But this is also true, I am not controlling what she says or does, she is doing that of her own freewill. In fact, i have even encouraged her to speaka to you, it is not healthy for sibling relationshop to suffer due to someone else's problem."
Krishna was now confused and frustrated, "look all i know is that i didn't feel you, touch you or do anything else with you. I think you should get your brains checked out, something is seriously wrong with you" Krishna noticed her nose flare up in anger
"How dare you? Is this what you wanted to tlk about, just to insult me?" She advanced towards him, ready to attack. "Why you piece of..." and she stopped half way.
She was trying to control herself. She finally calmed down and explained the whole scenariro for him.
"Look yeah let me play it all out for you; you helped me with my bag right? After sitting down, i put my hand on the handle and the plane took off, and that's when you....well you should know what you did.."
She stopped then continued again, "And you know what i really don't care anymore, just leave me the hell alone!" She screamed the last part and she ran in to Komal's room.
Krishna was shattered, oh no, it cant be, she was right. Krishna suddenly had a mini flashback of how he put his earphones in; turned the volume up to the max and put his hand on the handle.
Her hands were on the handles? That means i put my hands on her hands and she thought i was trying to feel her up! OMG, what did i do? All these arguement because of a mis- understanding? This is all my fault, i will have to go apologise to her now.
However, Krishna was having second thoughts, He stood there for about half an hour and decided to head for Komal's room to apologise to Pratigya.
Krishna is gong to apologise to Pratigya
What do you think Pratigya's reaction will be?
