Chapter Twelve
Start of Something New
As Supriya and Dutta had exchanged rings, a couple of days after agreeing to the marriage, in front of their guests, they looked up at one another knowing neither of them was ready for this. When Naku had saw Supriya she couldn't help feeling a little judgemental towards her, not that she knew her, but the fact that she would forever have a closeness with her Saab was enough for Naku to dislike her, she felt that she were in competition with this new rival. What am I thinking said Naku to herself, Supriya was in every angle perfect for Dutta, as she observed her from far, she could feel her cheeks burn in jealously which she tried hard to deny, whilst trying hard to look for some flaw in her, kuch to hoga isme jo Saab ko acha nahin lagega..haan iske baal, zaroor iske baal hoge..nahin she told herself...iski ankhein...nahn iski...she carried on mumbling to herself in one far corner while playing with her duppatta in frustration, if only she could bring one thing that was wrong in Supriya she could satisfy herself, but than as she looked at her more closeley she was lady like in every angle, she could see other men staring ar her like she were a goddess, and to Naku it seemed like Supriya knew what everyone thought of her, Naku had to get out, she suddenly felt claustrophobic and needed to escape, when she saw Baji....her saviour she thought.
Kya huwa re Naku, teri tabhiyat to theek hain na, he said as they got out of the car and walking towards the boxing club, which was dark and quiet the lights were extremely dim and most of them were switched off, as they entered Naku looked around trying to imagine what the place would look like when it came to life, and than answered to Baji, haan main theek hain, lekin pata nahin kyun mujhe aaj meri Ayi ki yaad aah rahi thi aur waha ghar pe mera jee ghabra raha tha she said as she motioned her hand pointing backward as though the house were behind her.
When Naku had told Baji that she were getting anxious and she needed to get out, frankly so did Baji, he couldn't understand why Bhau was marrying Supriya, but at the same time he couldn't say anything, so when Naku had come to him for help, she'd actually done him a favour.
When Baji had asked Naku where she wanted to go she told him wherever she can find peace, and Baji only knew a few places like that one of the main ones being the boxing club, when fights were over he liked to sit in the quietness of the night after all the noise that went on during fights, he'd usually sit here with Dutta who'd usually practice a bit boxing himself or do some sparring (jab pads) with Baji providing he could be bothered, or they usually just got drunk together. But today when Naku had asked him she wanted to leave he could only think of bringing her here. As he glanced at Naku who was occupying herself by looking at the walls and surroundings, he put the heating on for her as he could tell she were cold and also checking a few windows and shutters before he sat down with a cold bottle of beer and handed Naku a small carton of tropical juice from the miniature fridge.
Kya huwa Naku, tereko itne din hoge kaam karte yahan pe, lekin isse pehle to tujhe aisi ghabrahat to nahin huwi, kuch hua hai kya, he questioned as he popped open the cold beer with his back teeth and took a large gulp out of it while waiting for her answer. When she in return told him nahin woh aisa kuch nahin hai Baji, main such bolti hai, woh pehle kabhi itne log Patil Niwas main nahin dekhe na isiliye tora ajeeb lagaraha tha mujhe, bas, aur upar se mujhe meri Ayi ki yaad agaye, she finished hoping Baji was convinced with her answer.
....Aur kaun kaun hai tere ghar main hai Naku, he asked to keep the converstion afloat, not noticing her sudden stiffness in her body as he'd asked his question. She quickly told him there were five of them, but didn't ellaborate on anything in particular. Than, when silence fell around them, Naku's empty carton was beginning to make a slurping sound making it obvious she'd reached the end, when her and Baji both looked at each other, and just then Naku had given in, she couldn't help the words leaving her mouth, and asked that did Saab choose to marry Supriya, I mean she felt the need to explain why she'd asked such a thing, when Baji had began answering anyway without noticing Naku feeling uneasy. Arre nahin Naku, mera matlab hai ke haan jaise...... he said looking around trying to figure out the right words to use in front of Naku, ...jaise ke woh ek dusre ko jaante hai... he said nodding to her as if to say you understand kind of way, while Naku nodded in a unsure type of yes, wondering if Baji was trying to tell Naku that Dutta was sleeping with Supriya and that's how they knew each other, and than when Baji saw Naku's confused face he explained that you remember the day when you first came to Patil Niwas, and Bhau was getting impatient with you, he said trying to remind her of her first day at PN and at the same time not trying to offend her by reminding her of Dutta's behaviour towards her, he explained well that was when Bhau was he carried on while nodding his head consistently trying to tell Naku what he could not say, when a slow Naku had caught on to his words and felt embarassed by the whole subject now, and started looking around randomly to divert her attention. Does Saab do things like that often she asked again not helping herself, when Baji replied in a yes, making Naku feel butterflies in her stomach at hearing his answer and disappointment filling her eyes, but than she knew Saab was like this somewhere along the lines, but whenever she'd spoken to him she felt like she could see right through him, but than this was a chapter she would rather not know about, 'cause it seemed to bother her even though she knew that it shoudn't. Lekin tu Bhau ko galat mat samajhna Naku, Bhau yeh sab ladkiyon se pyar vyar nahin karta, Bhau to sirf inka istemal karta hai, he said realising that don't sound too good to the ear and making his Bhau look like a player, which he was but not in that sense particualarly. Yeh hum kaisi baate leke baith gaye, chodo yeh sab, tu bata Naku tu kisi se pyar karti hai kya....he said trying to change the subject thinking he were making the mood lighter but in actual fact doing the opposite. When Naku unknowingly said to herself said pata nahin almost whispering, when Baji interupted her thoughts and said kya..kya kaha tune....when Naku became alert and came to her senses and said nahin Baji...tu bhi na....bhala main kisse pyar karegi...she quickly told him, kyun agar tu pyar nahin karegi to tu shaadi kaise karegi Naku he added in response. Main shaadi to ussi se karegi na, jo meri Ayi mere liye dhoondegi aur phir pyar ka kya hai woh to apne aap hojayega, she said knowing this was never how she'd imagined her love life to be, acha...said Baji trying very hard to understand how she could let someone else make that decision for her, and than asked but you must have had some kind of fantasy about your wedding, 'cause if you say no, than I'm not one to believe you he told her putting his hands up like he were saying he'd given up, when Naku had been reminded of one of the conversations with Gaurav, he too had asked something similar like this when she's replied haan aayega na, meri Ayi se mera haath maangne ayega, mujhe ghoongat mein dekehga, aur bholega ke sirf tum mere liye bani ho Naku, aur phir woh mere aangan apni baraat leke aayega...gore pe sawaar hoke...bilkul Salman Khan ki tara......KYA !!! Salman Khan ki tarah, shouted Baji, making Naku come out of her dream world she'd just gone into without realising. Nahin mera matlab hai ke woh...main...woh..main...as she carried on saying this she knew she had no excuse for talking herself out of this one and looked down in embarassment, when Baji spoke and said imitating her haan main..woh...main..woh kisi aur ke saamne karna, main sab samajhta hai...to tera dil Salman Khan pe fida hai, he said as though he'd cracked a code for some secret mine, and than scratched his head in confusion and asked her why she liked him, 'cause surely he was twice her age he thought, she can't possibly like older men thought Baji to himself cringeing at the thought of it, when a very intimidated Naku just replied nahin aisa nahin hai, but Baji was having none of it, arre bata na Naku isme sharmane wali baat kaunsi hai, bata jaldi bata he said sounding eager like a school girl when one her friend's had just discovered a new crush, when she finally replied woh jaise ke uski body...aur uske...aur uske..dhole... she said getting shy and looking the other way, aye hai Naku !! squealed an over excited Baji, tu to aise sharma rahi hai ke jaise Salman Bhai ne to tereko rishta bhej hi diya ho, he said getting more exctied with every word, waise bhole to mere dhole bhi kaafi bare hai Naku he teased as he bought both his arms up into a muscleman type pose to expand his biceps as far they could, or rather as little as they could go. When Naku saw Baji like this her shyness had slipped away and she began laughing at Baji's light hearted nature, he really made her forget whatever it was happening at home, and she was really enjoying Baji's company, she never felt any kind of uneasiness around him, although he would always joke about being a couple with Naku, but she knew he was just playful, but never really meant anything. Theek hai Naku, ek kaam karte hai he said putting his hand up in front of her with his palm facing her.......agar tujhe Salman ya phir Salman jaisa koi ugle teen saal tak nahin milega to tu mere se shaadi karlena...theek hai..aur tab tak main apne dhole Salman bhai se bhi bilkul mast bana lega he said patting his left biceps with his right hand in praise, kya sochti hai tu he said raising his eyebrows, knowing he was so going to get hit by her. Bajiiii she squealed, tu bhi na...she told him off by hitting on his arms when he ducked and started to run away from her playfully.
As Baji and Naku had made their way back home it was late, Baji was sure the guests and the girl's side must have left, Naku's mood was lighter now, he could tell, and he too felt better after talking with her, he'd missed Roops a little but than she would never leave such an important day in her brother's life for anything, so she would definately not have went with them thought Baji.
As suspected everyone was asleep by the time Baji and Nakusha had got home, and they quickly made their way to their respective rooms, and went sleep after a tired night.
Naku had spent a while at Patil Niwas she became familiar with a lot of things, her regular routine was everyday household chores which remained the same since the day Aye Sahib had set them, and everyday she would go to the market on Kaka's rikshaw who knew that she went down the same route everyday at the same time and would always meet her outside the house or further down the road, she became fond of her Kaka too, often telling him remedies to keep him fit and healthy at his age so he could still keep working.
Naku and Dutta had grown pretty close over the time she were there, they often had their talks and debates with each other in the night, when Naku would take up tea for him as he had cut down on the drinking due to Naku's bashans which would become extra long if she ever spotted a glass of alcohol anywhere in his room. Dutta often sat in his bar where Naku had managed to convince him not to drink and instead made him drink tea even in his bar, but strangely Naku had liked that room and the way it was designed, the thing that caught her attention the most was shiny grand piano lying there untouched, she wondered if Saab had played it, but than she'd asked Roops one day who told her that Dutta had bought it for Roops but she never had any interest in playing it so he moved it into his bar as a showpiece. Everytime Naku would talk to Dutta in the bar her eyes would always linger onto the shiny black keys as if they were pulling her towards them.
Since Supriya was engaged to Dutta she was literally stuck to him like glue, she was beginning to irritate Naku alot, which she tried to overlook but was unable to, even Saab would usually forget about Naku sometimes, which made her angry with him, not that she showed her anger towards him, but it still made her feel better that she was angry with him.
Ravi was slowly recovering in hospital, while an eager Baji couldn't wait for him to recover fully, just so he could beat him up properly this time.
There was also a hunt on for a bodyguard for Supriya, as she was Dutta Bhau's fiance offically and therefore required 24 hour protection and surveillance around her house. As there were already a few attacks made on her through her food and various attempts, which were caused by none other than Kalavathi, not to mention when the first time Supriya had entered Patil Niwas she was jumped on by Naku herself, as Naku had mistaken her to be a thief planted by one of his enemies, which had amused everyone including Dutta.
After many days Dutta had told Naku to sit down when she'd bought his tea up, she did as she were told but grumpily, of course he wouldn't notice anyway she thought he was too busy with Supriya these days, she muttered to herself silently. Just then a message tone had sounded from his phone, when Dutta had quickly reached to see who it was, but Naku just rolled her eyes thinking of course it's Supriya....again..she thought wishing she could nod her head in disapproval, and she almost was, when she noticed Dutta's eyes on her watching. Naraaz hai, he said as he sipped his tea looking ahead no, waiting for her answer, as she began nodding her head in denial thinking oh god how does he know...I can't have made it that obvious she thought, when his words interrupted her thoughts again, maine poocha naraaz hai mujhse, still looking ahead.
Nahin tho Saab she lied, than why are you so grumpy he questioned further, you can run but you can't hide Naku he thought to himself. I know your upset he explained but you can at least give me a reason to why your so upset, when all she could say in defense was that how can I possibly be upset with you Saab, I'm only your servant, when he'd immediatley stopped her by saying you know Naku that I have never considered you my naukrani, I have only ever spoken to you as a friend and never a slave, do you understand he asked her clearly, when she nodded her head in a yes.
Than he'd asked her something she couldn't bring herself to answer, do yo like her, he asked, he was eager to know what her thoughts were on Supriya as he knew Naku's judgement on things was alway different and was curious to what she would say. But to his surprise all Naku said was she was pretty, okay so now Dutta knew something was wrong...the whole world could say she was pretty..but when it came to Naku, that was totally the wrong answer....Naku's opinion was always different, and he became insistent on knowing why she was taking the easy way out, and bugged her further with his brain teasing questions, when she'd finally blown haan haan, mujhe woh achI..nahin lagti..... she shouted furiously throwing her hands up in the ear and giving Dutta the shock he was waiting for but wasn't expecting like that as he watched her eyes go big and all her fustration coming out in her words ......mujhe nahin acha lagta jaisa uske baal uski sari hui shakal par aake gir te hai...mujhe nahin acha lagta jaise woh sab ko dekhti hai jaise ke wo koi aasmaan se uttarin koi pari hai...aur mujhe khaas kar ke yeh ahca nahin lagta ke yeh wohi gulabi lipstick wali churail hai jiski lipstick ke daag aapke kurte se nikhalte nikhalte meri kamar thoot gaye she said as she charged him against the wall in her rage without knowing and poking a finger in his chest....again. Oh my god, why is she so angry with me what did I do now, this is the second time she'd just blasted him, but he doesn't understand what the reason for it was this time, she can't be jealous of Supriya, surely he thought, or maybe...he thought and than shook his head at the thought that had just entered his head, no it couldn't be, she was just furious that I wasn't able to give her any attention since the past couple of days 'cause of that stupid Supriya, he concluded.
As Naku had ran to her room, she couldn't believe she'd just done what she'd just did, as she covered her mouth whilst leaning her back against the inside of her closed door, she couldn't understand what had overcome her, she'd tried so hard to tame herself, but she failed...miserably. What's happening to me she thought, why am I so bothered by seeing Saab with Supriya, that is his happiness and I should accept that, and besides who am I to have a say in his life she argued I will soon be gone, and I need to concentrate on the task at hand, Aye had told her the other day of Morey suspecting them of hiding Naku in a neighbouring town, and how he put a watch around her basti and constantly asking around for her whereabouts.
Anna had found out about Dutta's rishta and finally felt content, abh ayga mazaa Dutta...isse kehte hai an eye for an eye...he finished in English, you slept with my girl and now I will take your girl right from under you nose, once you get married and think that your life will have settled, than I will snatch your lawful wedded wife and do with her the same as you did with my Roopa, finished Anna with a cold tone to his voice.
That's all for today, it's abit all over the place right now, but after Dutta's past it'll come together, sorry for any mistakes, wrote this in a rush, made it all up at the spare of the moment, but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting too long, so tried to give you guys something to keep you happy for the moment, I know it's not alot of tasha at all, but I am sooo tired right now🥱 that I couldn't get my brain to work properly lol, and for tasha scenes I need to fully be all here lol, so sorry next time.😊
