Painful Rapture ~ Chapter: 41

"Am I in earth, heaven or in hell?" Shakespeare

Dutta clearly relieved as he noted that Khan showed good sense in coming out of her mufti and was ship shape in her uniform. His eyes travelled to his woman ,who unequivocally appeared stunning in whatever she wore, her peach coral, below the knee richly gathered peshwaaz top ,complete with tight fitted churridar bunched in folds at the ankles , graced by her platinum gold anklets and embroidered pumps .She did have herself head concealed under a sheer coral chunni, and upper body draped in her black pashmina shawl, thrown over her shoulder, but her feminine assets both front and hind, lay discernable. Dutta deducted however, her first port were always her breathtaking delicate fine features that graced her countenance with those large green doe eyes. Dutta sucked his lip in and was interrupted by a phone call , as he waited for the two women to reach the jeep ."yes Sir!, answered Dutta, affirmative Sir! yes it was a doddle over and done within minutes! however certain issues still persist", he maintained, "well excellent my boy! Never doubted your capabilities, now! the order is you return a.s..ap, Dutta, high command orders !,so catch the next domestic flight back to Mumbai or Delhi, Khan, the two soldiers and yourself can make use of your army prerogatives in terms of seat availability and fare concession, and oh Nakusha if you buy her fare you will get reimbursed, you do know boy that she's not your wife as yet henceforth, she cannot enjoy the perks of husband's vocation," firmed up Parekh. Dutta pulled his mouth to the side and replied in a slight done by expression, "yes Sir, that's fine and no the army doesn't need to reimburse her fare ,although on second thought ,maybe it's only right Sir! as she assisted in this mission in civilian capacity", maintained Dutta, "of course I agree my boy! now you get your act together and get back here on the double!, oh and an army jeep will collect you from the airport, its sorted already, so well done and I'll see you when you get back" finalised Parekh. Dutta clicked his heels and went "Sir! and the call ended. He looked the ladies had arrived, he took Naku's wheelie trolley and fitted it in the back of the jeep. The women, sat beside each other faced by the two soldiers with upright rifles. Dutta sat next to the driver and held his hand up to Wasimin good bye manner , as the soldier behind the wheel ,started the engine..Naku's eyes sparkled as she looked at Khan sideways and leaned over, "we'll have a natter on the journey back home ,Khan ,tell you it was fun the train ride ,I am looking forward to it again!" she exclaimed..."Gaggal airport ke tarrif challo ,rasta patta hai na tumhe"? Dutta ordered. Naku's eyes popped out, in sheer shock , as she groped Khan's arm, and spurted nervously, "oh Bappa hawai cheez mein jayien ga ?mein ne tu.."she stopped as she glimpsed Dutta's narrow eyes shoot glares at her, the driver replied to Dutta's question, "jee Saar! raasta pata hai, Dharamshala se koi ghante ka raasta hai, ek dafa charhai se uther jayein tu adhe khante mein poonch sakte hain waise signposted bhi hai Sir jee!" assured the soldier driver.

The jeep approached Gaggal airport, being an army jeep ,the security staff at the entrance of the airport ,officially assumed that metal detection was unnecessary , now if Dutta loathed any thing to the core it was presumptuous security. He jumped out of the jeep as it stood under the lifted barrier, and signalled to the driver to reverse back a little, he squared up and stood in front of the check post, the two security door posts rushed and saluted him ,he nodded ,and parted his lips, "ap duty theekh se nehi ker rahe ,is jeep ko check kerne se phele ap jana de rahe hain, ap ko kaise pata hai ,ke ye safe hai ?, the posts were shaken and replied, "Sir jee fauji jeep hai is leya soocha safe hai?, Dutta moved his head to the side and narrowed his eyes," ap kaise yakeen se khe sakta hain ye asli fauji jeep hai? batao mujhe,?"he questioned,"Sir jee ,ap wardi mein hain, aur is mein fauji wardi wala driver chala raha hai, peeche bhi two fauji sanak hain or ek officer hai tu.."he stopped ,as Dutta flared his nostrils, "tu wardi se aap ne socche hum fauji hain, ap ko pata hai fauji wardi pehan ke terrorist bhi ghomte hai! , hum terrorist bhi ho sakte hain! he shouted, then he realized he was losing his cool and he came to the point, "dekho jaon aur ID check karo! sab ke! saath mein rifles ke serial number bhi check kero? local army post pe unke verification karao phone par, aur akher mein metal detector se jeep ko check karo !phir barrier uthao ! he raised his voice ,and muttered "ab tumhare duty kaisa kerni hai, mein tumhe baton? sarkar se kisi cheez ke tenkhawa leta ho tum log , sirf passengers go dekhne ki! he yelled ,as he saw his orders being carried out..he sat in the jeep and held on to the roof with his right arm folded as he looked menacingly at the two security guards, "is dafa jane diya hai tumhe ,aagli bar report karon ga" he warned, as he tapped the dash board of the jeep with his palm ,indicating to the driver to proceed... once in the airport they headed towards the tickets section with Naku hot on his heels, "Saab,rokein",he stopped, turned around and looked down at her bewildered face, "Sssab,mein ne air travel khabi nehe kiya, Saab mein derti hai", he moved his lips in a slant and his eyes danced on her face as he gave a tiny frown, "nehi kiya tu ab ker le" ,he said and turned to head towards the ticket counter again ,she grabbed his arm, "Saab dar lagta hai mujhe bola ne, mein mar jayegi! daar ke mare, ap kyon mujhe marna chate hain!"she pleaded, he was becoming short as ,the stupid git created ,nothing short of a scene, he grabbed her by her wrist and almost dragged her to the quiet side to where the toilets were ,away from the various airlines long queue, and slammed her back agaisnt the black granite wall of the airport, "oye !kya hai thujhe ,stop behaving like a five year old!" ,she opened her mouth to complain and he poked his head forward with his finger in her face "stop it now! band ker ye apna bloody filmy drama! nehi mare gi tu!" ,and he softened a bit, "waise chaal aagar marna hai tu donu saath me he marne ge ..not a bad idea after all ,haina ?he peered into her eyes and bobbed his head gently, she put her hands on his soft lips ,with a tiny sparkle, "mare humare dushman Saab"! and he smiled and ran his forefinger on her smooth soft cheek with a smile "chaal ab be a good girl and let's get our seats sorted" he suggested. She held his finger on her cheek, "Saab ap mera saath beitho ga na,?so I can sleep on your shoulder" she asked her doe eyes widened and shining, he almost threw back his head and chuckled, "Naku tu koi long haul international flight par nehi ja rehe it's a short haul flight to Mumbai,sun eke time nehi hoga" he explained but she interrupted ,"Saab khana ka samaan zaroor le layen, ab tu Khan bhi hai ,tu her cheez double mein lena Saab!" she ordered like a wife, he shook his head , and wearily responded "Naku look! they serve snacks in the flight honestly tu bhi itna bolte hai ke mera sar ghum jata hai, chaal abhaa!"! and he held her by the palm and lead her towards the departure queue. As they neared, he let go of her arm and headed a come here order to the rest of his army personnel. He took the lead as Khan , the two soldiers held their IDs ,the woman behind the counter smiled as she held a look of enquiry.,Dutta pulled his mouth downwards slightly and requested in his guttural drawl," five, economy class please, the woman checked down the computer, after Dutta had presented the IDs of the army passengers. "with a smile she confirmed ," Sir your seats have already been reserved this morning", he bowed his head " why that's brilliant, now if I can pay, army concession for four and full fare for the 5^th passenger," Dutta offered, "yes certainly Sir, replied the booking officer as she completed the needful and handed the passengers their boarding card and gate number. Dutta turned around gave the boarding cards and IDs to his officer and kept his and Naku's BC in his warm palm.

Next stop was before board, Security check, Dutta walked with Naku towards the conveyer belt area ,passengers some bent ,pulled their shoes off, others placed them on the rolling security conveyor belts as items were scanned through an arched bridge like device over the belt which took photo sensitive note of improprieties and dangerous loop holes in passengers cabin bags and personal belongings. Dutta sided his head and looked at the top of her sheer chunni clad head, he pouted his mouth, the poor bird is dead scared! she felt his stare on the top of his head and she looked up into his eyes and he looked down into her face and blinked his eyes and subtly in a split of a second winked at her as he pulled his bottom lip in his mouth ,he prolonged his gaze into her eyes, opened his full lips and leaned his head over the top of her head and said in a low voice ,"theekh haina baaaby? main ho na , don't worry", as like always she gave a quiet nod her eyes wide open gazed up into his narrow eyes. Dutta reached the security check, and Naku watched her tall uniform clad man, as he sank to his legs and folded one of his sinewy loins and kneed the other one , with brisk action that involved his slender fingers he undid his boots, Naku blinked and bit her lips,...Saab ap ko apne boots khud utherna paretha hain, if we were at home tu mein utherti ap ke jhotte..she cried silently, while he stood on the floor with his long slender toes clad in black ribbed socks. Naku observed him with intent, as she familiarized herself to what she was expected to do at his point .He held both his boots between thumb and forefinger and placed them on the conveyer belt, took off his belt , ring ,mobile phone and placed it in the plastic basin for small items. Dutta stopped, asked for the two commando officers to speak to him ,they approached with automatic rifles and saluted him first ,and once again sank down and removed his shining, infantry dagger from the holster, tied to his sinewy lower leg ,held it in his broad palm ,straightened up, and folded his other hand to remove his pistol and handed them over to the commandos ,along with the two rifles , and straightened up, "ok officers, we are surrendering our official weapons for safe keeping while in flight, as soon as we land ,I expect them to returned, is that understood?" instructed Dutta, they saluted and receded from the area with the arms. Once having sorted the arms ,he headed towards the security arch, where once out from under it, he was given the body metal detector search ,once cleared he reached out for his boots, collected them off the security belt and slipped them on, as he waited for Naku to be cleared. The security guard gave her a odd suspecting look ...chunni clad black shawl..Naku meanwhile took off her ring and mobile andplced it in the tray. The guard put the conveyer belt to a halt and requested Naku to remove her black shawl , Naku showed resistance as her Saab had asked her to keep it on in this area. The guard announced ,"tu phir ap edur ayen" she beckoned. Naku twitched her mouth as Dutta watched from clearance ,his brow furrowed ,what the hell is she up to?! He rasped ,Naku moved to go but with presence of my mind she took her ring from the plastic basin, slipped it on her finger and went into the curtained cubicle, Dutta knew where she was being taken ,but to assure himself he asked one of the clearance officers , "ummhh the ladies frisking room ,it's lady officers inside aren't there?"! he questioned with authority. "yes Sir, it's female officers for women, and male officers for men" replied the clearance officer .Dutta somewhat slightly embarrassed at his imprudent reaction, blushed a tad and responded, "yes but of course, as the contrary would be unthinkable..well surely for him ,he would sever the hand that touched even a single wisp of hair of his beloved... finally she came trough clearance ,her face flushed, he wanted so much to hide her in his arms and hold her close to him, but, such an act would be unthinkable anywhere in public. Perhaps he mused, some things are best done in clandestine meetings, where the fear of regard for vocational decorum , social sensitivity, and family propriety does not dangle above their heads. Naku, suggested they have some tea before they board as they had twenty minutes to go, Dutta although unwilling felt swayed by her pleading eyes. The soldiers out of choice sat on a table for two , discomfited by he though of sitting at the same table as the two officers especially the senior on, however ,his men came first as he walked towards them and both stood to attention ,he enquired about what they wanted and insisted they help themselves, to whatever they fancied, he would pay... The soldiers headed to collect their tea and biscuits, and Dutta made his way back to the cosy corner occupied by Naku and Khan.He pulled up a chair opposite the two and sat up right, back straight with his slender hands hitched on his knees under the table ,his eyes lowered as he looked elsewhere deep in thought. Naku looked across at him , she knew her Saab was far from being comfortable, his student was present so any off the cuff flippant behaviour was not going to be the call of the hour. He felt being stared at across the table and deemed it was not the other one, for she wouldn't dare to cross the boundaries, so he slowly looked up and met his beloved's eyes ,and he asked gently, "what would you like to have ?"and with some tardiness added ,both of you?"..Naku looked at Khan ,questioningly tea?, to which Khan nodded yes, in slight embarrassment, Naku said chai and on second thought added "aand please Saab some creamed coronets as well" she pleaded as Dutta looked at her icily with one eye brow raised..this woman's food intake is becoming ridiculous by the minute, ise theran ghate rehi tu lagan ke din inflatable mattress bun jayegi!, he thought, as he pinched his mid top lip under his teeth to suppress his chuckle, she could tell he was coming with something offensive about her in that evil warped mind of his! He stood up briskly to his feet and concealed his mouth with his kerchief to stop his snigger from showing.. jahel aurat! fresh cream kha ke aur mooti ho gi! ,he runted as he made his way towards the tea and cakes section. He put in the order and returned to occupy his seat. The refreshments arrived, and the ladies tucked into their wares, Naku once again looked at him in despair, "Saab ap abhi bhi kuch nehi kha reha, chai bhi nehi, kuch to khalien aap" !,she nagged. Dutta placed his immaculate palms on the table and hauled himself up , gosh! he thought she's already doing a wifey number on me! pata nehi hai use main woh he kerta hai ,ju mera dil kerta hai..he whinged silently and ordered tea, and sweet crispy cake wafer rolls! He smiled devilishly, I suppose, once a while a little indulgence can be way laid , he beamed and carried his refreshments to the table! Naku was gobsmacked when she saw the sweet roll wafers, she reached out for one as soon as he set the plate on the table. She crunched on the wafer roll and Dutta very nearly shook his head at her, "ye mera liya hain, leave them alone" he warned, with a raised eye brow. She giggled as she sipped her tea , "waise you officers! the pair of you! never asked me what transpired with me at the conveyer security point? she eluded. Both,Khan and Dutta were all ears, but Dutta preferred to maintain his silence ,as he was a great conformist to all security measures taken ,especially so in present times.. Khan put her cup down and asked, "haan Naku I was wondering why on earth did they suddenly decide to frisk you?. Naku finished her last drop of tea, took a deep breath as she placed her cup of tea with finesse on the saucer. Dutta watched her, smitten by her presence and simple ways, as he waited for her to give her thoughts or rather gyans on the happening.. "I have to say, it has to be one of the few moments in my life Khan when I really and truly felt emotionally limp for a few minutes, felt all eyes were upon me, you people had sailed through the security checks without a cinch! aur mujhe rok liya..mujhe yaad hai the look on the officers face , based on ...it's the way that I looked.. Naku narrated, still lost in the not so long experience, "how do you mean the way you looked, pressed Khan,"I mean how my appearance is, young aurat , sar pe chunni , kale shawl mein lipte hoi?"... shakal surat ,naina nakash se , kisi bhi elaka ki ho sakti hoon," Naku carried on sullenly..Dutta clenched his jaw as he had a rough idea where she was heading towards in her views, so he intercepted.. "tera lipte hoi shawl posed the alert Naku, uske neeche tera badan ke elava ,hatyar bhi ho sakte thain.., yehe wajha the they asked you to step in for a frisk, had I been there I would have done the same, mujhe pata hai tune kyon nehi shawal utra jab us ne thujhe kha utrane ko, pun kyon ke you resisted, due to as they saw it purdah, is se un ka shaq aur bhi muzboot ho giya ke ,under the guise of maintaining purdah you are possibly carrying such material that could possibly pose a threat to national security and general public safety" Dutta reasoned calmly. Naku's face flushed with dissension, and she burst out.."but that's not fair Saab! why do we compartmentalise people into little niches, put little caps of colour ,religion, culture, values ,language ,race! Kyon? kya ye kafi nehi ke hum sab insaan hain and we strive to live together peacefully in harmony..after all we are the supreme in creation, everything was created for our pleasure!, even animals live peacefully in groups, packs, and herds, tu phir insaan kyon nehi"Naku argued, "because Naku baghwaan ne insaan ko dil aur dahmak ke elva, the ablity to choose bhi de hai, if we chose to live in dissension and division, we will get chaos not order, however if we chose to live in sensitivity towards each other's differentiated needs ,there will be some form of synchronization among the peoples of this planet earth! deduced Dutta, paused briefly and parted his lips, "rehi baat shak ke, tu the world as it stands, today, disparity between developed and under developed nation; injustice towards the suffering and destitute; nations forever commanding territorial gains; nations bearing the brunt of climatic changes; ongoing tussle of the survival of he fittest! really reflects are attitudes in our day to day dealings with the diversity of peoples we come across, each with individual needs, which may not be the same as ours; animals live harmoniously in packs ,herds for they are the same species in one pack, as humans, we are the same biologically ,but richly diverse in socio/cultural ,spiritual values across the globe, henceforth,Naku, we have to grab the truth of adaptability at all times! now that is a hard fact!, remember the essence of humanity has to be along the lines of ,compassion mercy and humility towards one another!".. Dutta, prevailed...both Naku and Khan stared at his firm stubble face, this man who has a finger poised on the trigger, but still is the man with a golden heart!

Dutta, realized that per chance he may have said more than required about his view points ,especially in the presence of his student ,he decided to go to the loo to wash his hands as they were sticky after handling the wafer rolls ..

He walked back from the airport toilet, tall and smart in his uniform engrossed in a quick caress of his cheek with one hand...bump! a head long collision!, he looked down it was a 10 year girl, with middle parted two ribbon entwined tight plaits , bright yellow slide clips on either side of her hard parting, and pink spectacles that rested on her cute button nose and a pair chubby cheeks!. In shock both moved away from each other ,Dutta towered over her his muscular arms folded across his chest as he glared down at her...she looked up at and gave an apologetic smile as she folded her arms across her chest too, "oh sorry! action man uncle! she burst out ...and she touched her ear lobes , Dutta smiled with his tendered eyes, as he saw her chubby fingers pinching her ear lobes ..and he missed that imbecile Baji like hell! and his eyes became misty for a split second," bola na sorry action man uncle! ab maaf bhi kar do", Dutta stretched his lips in a smile, gutsy little cheeky girl, he wasn't too sure about the "uncle" bit though, he mused as he opened his lips and gave her a mock angry look with his eyes, "ok young missy stand at ease"!. She immediately relaxed and soon after started crying, her tears rolled down from her glasses and tumbled down her cheeks and every now and then she stuck her chubby little finger under her glasses to clear the tears from her eyes, Dutta melted and crouched in front of her and moved his head forward and said, "hey now look don't cry little girl, I hate tears now tell action man kya problem hai? but as soon as he asked she started to bawl ,her head moving in all direction ,along with her body, she bawled even louder and Dutta decided to stand up with a defeated face. Naku and Khan watched from afar and they came running put their arms around the distaught little girl's shoulder ..Naku put her arms around the little girl and pulled her head to her bosom as she whispered comforting words on her head. Dutta looked at Naku , rolled his eyes ,shoved his hands in his pockets opened his mouth and turned his head the other way," bare aye hai mamta ke murat , mamta dekhna ! jahal aurat! ...he mused and walked away a bit and left the two women to it. They took her to the table and cuddled and cajoled her ..interspaced with moments where they mopped her tears and helped her blow her nose. Dutta neared and watched the two women with high amusement ,heavens the pair of them oozed with maternal instincts ! come's aspart and parcel of the female genetic makup! he mused..the little girl seemed to be loving the attention from soldier and civilian.,he touched the corner of his mouth and his eyes twinkled salla aunties tu ye dono dekh thi hain ...mujh main kahan se uncle nazar ata hai is peedi ko?..he chuckled. Naku ,confirmed his aunty thoughts.. "beta kyon rooti hoot tum ? humien batao gi nehi tu hum thumare maddat kaise karien ga? hummh?", and Khan, continued "ye lo pani pao ,ab tum safe ho, aur challo aache lardki ke theran batao apne bare mein?", but the girl continued her little cry session and refused to cooperate, Dutta snapped ! he walked over and almost shouted firmly, "right! now you listen to me young lady, you'd better start answering some questions to me fast before I call for security ,and they I can tell you are not happy bunnies like these two new found aunties of yours! he rasped ,as Naku's eyes flew open in disdain at his horridly offensive remark, which she thought was totally out of place. Dutta, put his palm on the table and inclined his upper body as he spoke to the sitting girl, "now first question, what is your name ?,the girl snivelled "Navika nunni! for short, Dutta softened a bit, "next question why are you on your own at here, are you lost?, the girl burst out crying ,"haan action man uncle ,Nunni lost ho gaye hai ,patna nehi kahan jaon?" she wept, Naku covered her mouth with her hand when she heard Nunni call him action man "uncle"! Dutta moved his eyes from the girl and glared at Naku and mouthed a "chup ker " with his lips and shifted his eyes back to the girl, "ok tell me are you with any adults" he questioned firmly .and she replied "haan with my mummy, hum Mumbai ja rahe hain", she answered, and he asked the final question, "ok now tell me your mum's name?", "Megha"! she replied..., Dutta straightened up and held on to the girl's wrist and led her up to reception ,ordered them to make a lost child announcement..he looked down at her as she loosened his grip on her wrist and slipped her chubby little hand in his wide palm ,she looked up at him and raised her eyebrows from behind her glasses, "pata hai action man uncle! mujhe pata tha ke ap ek knight in shining armour ho!", Dutta moved his head shly to one side and then brought his head back and looked down into her sparkly spectacled covered eyes " hummh knight in shining armour..woh kaise Nunee" he asked with a naughty smile ,"woh aise action man uncle! ke main ne stories mein read kiya hai, ke agar koi princess problem me ho jaye tu , uske knight phurrr se horssie pe ride ker ke use save kerne ah jata hai! ...waise he jaise aaj aap ne mujhe save kiya! chattered the little girl. A nearly flustered, sari clad young slim woman came towards Nunni but before she could touch the little girl ,Dutta raised his palm as he indicated to stop her advances. He turned to Nunni," kya tum inhe janti ho Nunni? if so then who is she? he questioned with caution. Nunni replied with a big smile and a cocky head shake as if he was daft!, "ye action man uncle meri mummy hai"! she confirmed. Dutta cleared his throat and handed over the girl's hand in her mothers. The mother had a gratified expression on her face as he saw this tall , stubble faced handsomely imposing young army officer , she mumbled a thank you ,and Dutta stood firm faced. His palms touched his fingertips and he said, "I was merely doing public service ma'am ,however a word of advice... be vigilant to the whereabouts of your child especially in crowded public places, hold on to them if needs be, you are duty bound to do so .. as you may not be so lucky next time"... he warned. He then turned to the little girl who perked up with a smile s she saw her mum being told off, "and you young lady, tum itne bare nehi ho abhi ke crowded jaga mein apni mummy ka haat choor ke edhur udher walkabout kerti phero do samjhe tum! he said authoritatively as he pointed his index finger in her face, "come on off with you now"! ,he joked as saw mother and daughter walk away. He suddenly took his lower lip in mouth, man!... Dutta wants to see his Aye...

Naku and Khan watched all the scene from far, she knew he was capable of dealing with the situation ,and her meddling in his ways would aggravate him, after all mostly his ways of tackling things were reasonable and sane, however there might be moments when he tended to go off the rails..here in this situation he had once again shown he is a people's man who preferred to serve rather than be served...although ,and she bit her lip ,he wants her to serve to his whims whenever he gets the opportunity, it's like he owns her ,and she smiled subtley, she wouldn't have it any other way.. "all passengers leaving for Mumbai head for gate 3 please the air craft is ready to board, please have your boarding cards ready" the announced sounded off.. Dutta stood tall and smart behind her at the boarding exit, and she cranked her neck and whispered backwards to his inclined face inches away from her ear, which he desperately wanted to grab between his teeth, "aache daddy buno ge aap Saab, Munno se bhi deal kiya aap na ,aura ab Nunni se bhi, he knuckled her back discreetly, "chup ker nehi tu adher he thujhe mummy buna doon ga! jahel aurat ! Naku giggled and he smiled and turned his face the other way.

Once inside the air craft, Dutta went first and found two window seats, and rested his folded arm on the top of the seat ,and yanked his head as he beckoned her, Naku came and behind her followed Khan,as he pointed to the seat with his palm and looked at Naku ,as she squeezed in to settle in the window seat. Dutta stood side briefly and before he could blink ,Khan sank her bottom into the aisle seat next to Naku!, his face scowled and Naku looked up him over her side and he mouthed a cuss and she twitched her eyes that meant "koi baat nehi Saab", which made him even more irate and he moved and thumped in the window seat in front of Naku.. she held the back of his seat leaned foward and whispered from the side of his window "Saab aap theekh ho na?" he twitched his jaw and wriggled ,frustrated as he couldn't see her and pushed his head against the window and moaned "shut up stupid woman! ,bol nehi sakte thi tu use ke ye Saab ke seat hai"he groaned ,Naku, moved forward in the back of his seat as she continued to dug her fingers in the upholstry ,"Saab aap bhi to use khe sakte tha ,ye ap ki seat hai ?tu kaha kyon nehi"? she hissed back. Dutta got up and held the head rest of his seat with his fingers, as addressed Khan, "officer can you show Naku how to put the seat belt on!... he said curtly and thumped back in his seat in a foul mood, he felt his moment of joy ..of flying with his woman had been usurped and that too by a fellow soldier! his fingers that rested on the arm rest of the seat slowly knuckled up as his skin became pale and his bones arched up in rage and he almost kicked the seat in front. He so looked forward to little moments when they could have sat together their fingers interlocked ,their shoulders brushing lightly against each other, her head on his shoulder and his lips on the top of her head when transported sheer delight in being close to her..but now he felt like a tragic lover in the throes of pain, cheated of his right, dokha! dokha!. He squirmed in silence as he his arched his back slightly, stretched brawny legs forward.. the plane prepared for takeoff and the cabin crew gave the standard information about the life saving process demonstration with oxygen mask ..Naku sat fascinated as she bopped up to check out the demonstration, and with some respite, grabbed, Khan's arm and admitted, "ohh Bappa! ab tu sab kushal mangal hai, sab theekh hai ,I am relaxed now Khan!" ,she had only just finished her rejoicing when the engines rolled and the noise increased and Naku's eyes expanded as the plane started to roll forward, Naku fingers grabbed the back of his seat and very nearly shrilled, Saaab!... he raised his left hand and placed his shining finger tips on her fingertips to calm her down and finally with a fast bumpy, rickety race of the engine and the sliding grinding of the giant wheels, the body of the metal bird lunged , heaved as it plummeted up and Naku's heart sank and she pressed his fingers down with her finger tips.. as soon as the plane was air borne, Naku heard the click of seat belts being unfastened and she ,observed some passengers had got up from their seats ,she was still shivering from the impact of the take off! before she knew it her impulse got the better of her and she stood up and slid past Khan's knees ,stepped in the aisle and sat in the seat empty seat next to him , slid her arm around his sinewy arm ,rested her head on his arm and closed her eyes. He gave a shy crooked smile and turned his face towards her head, "hummh, ah gae tu Naku, hummh kya hoya hai bata" ?he said affectionately, as he placed his stubble cheek on the top of her head, thawed out by her impulsive passion. He cleared his throat and she pulled her arm from under his and sat , with lowered eyes her fingers circulated the ends of shawl! He firmed his head ,and without looking at her he said, "ja Naku, go back to your seat my love, thujhe pata haina tera Saab duty pe hai, look, their are other people from my unit here as well, I too want you here beside me shahzadi.. but acha nehi lagta, not professional, soo my love return to your place" Naku, sided her face and looked up him as he looked into her eyes sideways, and her large green eyes swam with tears, and he blinked and said, "pleaseee", and bowed his head once... Naku, stood up and moved away from him in a huff and slide past Khan and sat down unwillingly in her seat ,she grit her teeth, and didn't know who to blame his job, or his set ways of inadaptability when it comes to his vocational proprieties , or should she blame herself for her level of a certain immaturity whereby knowing the sensitivities of his job, she still expected him to behave like everyone else ,especially publicly...she chided herself, it is hard for him as her ,she consoled herself, and she turned to Khan to make conversation to kill time.

The air hostess came with her trolley and asked Dutta if he required refreshments, he sat up and replied in a guttural tone ,"whisky on the rocks, please", the air hostess unscrewed the bottle top poured some and dropped some cubes of ice in the plastic cup and passed it over to Dutta . Naku perked up and pulled a face, she gripped his seat and pressed her head forward and said rather loudly "Saab aap aj bhi pee raha ho?" ,he ,cranked his neck and huffed back to her, his head pressed against his window "chup ker ke baith aur apne kam se kam rakh" he growled and sipped his whiskey and closed his eyes as he posted the back of his of his head against the seat.." peeoan na tu aur kya karon? Naku.. tu hoti mera pas tu pyar mohabbet ke do teen batien kerata ,he mused as he smiled mischievously.

Naku tapped Khan on her shoulder, "aacha ye batao Rajoo , tu na shaadi ke liya haan kaise ker de?I thought you don't fancy him..tu how come you complied ,are you sure you are doing the right thing ,especially if you don't feel any thing for him Rajoo? probed Naku, "its not really a matter of like or dislike Naku ,other factors too come into it..like I have known Wasim ,since I was seven, I mean knew about his education ,training to be a cabbie ,his social circles , Naku pata hai kya ,he is a man with few wants ,he works hard ,earns an honest living, respects family elders and values and above all he thinks the world of me and my job ,he reckons mein blessed hoon, as far as my career goes, so yes..mujhe theekh lagta hai woh ek husband ke roop mein ..I think Naku , Wasim will be a faithful husband... confided Khan. Naku listened intently with due respect to her friends views. There was one question that however niggled Naku, "but do you love the man Ragoo, pyar kerti hai us se?.. Rajoo stiffened her head back and flexed her eyebrows , "oh come Naku, what's this got to do with pyar, arranged marriage mein tu depending on which of the country you hail from ,Naku, pyar tu shaadi ke baad hota hai...ahasta , ahasta, once you get to know each other physically ,mentally and spiritually"..she replied, but Naku persisted," Rajoo magaar sooch tu if you don't like what you learn about him, phir kya ho ga..?" Well Naku that's where you put your skills of adjustment and adaptability in use to solve issues in the main.. "she expressed, it was obvious to Naku that Khan being a young officer of the land forces, still under training was coming out with seminar jargon, certain coined phrases, Rajoo, life is not as simple as certain words, but haan ,that's true that life can be moulded on certain words like fine tuning! and evaluation! and modifications! between man and wife", responded Naku in an equally colloquium style and they both gave each other a high five and giggled... Dutta turned his head with stealth on his head rest and wondered what the two women tittered about ,but pulled his mouth to one side and sipped his whiskey placidly...girl talk..

The food trolley arrived with aromatic whiffs of tasty ware. As the air hostess served people on either side of the aisle Naku asked Khan, "waise have you ever been in love Khan?",Khan, replied with rapidity ,"nope! never Naku !at least not yet ,but tell you what jis din pyar hoga i'll let you know for sure ,pakka!, the air hostess passed Naku her vegetable Biryani, salad ,dehi and burfi over in a compartmentalised foil pack, Naku before she accepted the meal questioned, "did you serve the passenger in front?, she replied ,"I did ma'am but Sir, refused but asked for another drink ", Naku pulled a face and rejected her food. The air hostess moved on with the trolley ,and Naku squirmed out of her space and began to walk up the aisle she heard him call, "oye tu kadher ko chaal parthe hai? humara stop abhi nehi ayea !,"he teased ,she turned and looked across to his narrow eyes half closed against his head rest, and her tongue stuck out at him, "ati hai main ahi Saab.." she added , and headed straight towards the cramped cabin kitchenette , where showed dissatisfaction at the food served to a passenger with particular dietary needs ,travelling with her, and offered to make sandwiches.. The staff obliged apologetically, and supplied her with what she needed, finally Naku, arranged the triangular sandwiches in a platter ,thanked the staff, with a promise to give an excellent feedback on inservice provided! and headed back ,towards his seat. He beamed up at her, as he noted his food of love. He picked up his glass and emptied the last drop of whisky..she placed his plate of sandwiches before him and his mouth stretched in a smile ,his fore finger felt each one of them in a love caresses ,and he turned his head towards her as she sat beside him ,her fingers in a twisted in play, he took a deep breath, "baaaby I love you sooo much, you know what I want don't you my love oooh.. so want to kiss you baby , she bit her lip shyly and replied, "ap sandwich khao Saab apne haathoon se banien hain mein ne." she whispered, he bowed his head in agreement like an obedient school boy and nimbly picked up the triangle and bit, munched ,and swallowed it ,hungrily...as he chewed and bit he kept his eyes on her face and ,reached out for her beautiful soft fair hand and interlocked his broad fingers in it, till he got to the last triangle and achieved his fill, but not without running the tip of his fore finger to pick every last crumb of the platter.. she knew he had not eaten properly for a while and wondered if he was satisfied, "hummh tera haaton ke bune hoi sandwiches se mera pait pura he bhar jata hai, Naku! jase jism aur mann dono he shannat ho jate hai, you fill me up baaby with your presence, you fufil my every need and want!"..he said, as his eyes teemed with devotion for her..and he squeezed her hand...

The flight made announcements for landing. Naku covered her ears and closed her eyes tightly. The plane landed with a thud and bump on Mumbai airport safely and the passengers all clapped! and Naku thought this was the norm and joined in as well. The passengers, collected their luggage from the baggage hall and he whispered to Naku, "tu zinda hai baaby,mari nehi?" he teased, she smiled up at him, and replied shyly "ap the ne mera saath, mera pas isliya zinda baach gaye". Dutta and his soldiers retrieved and put their weapons in place and the party headed for the airport exit where the military jeep awaited them...Once all the passengers settled in the jeep Dutta gave some instructions and checked the time, it was past 11.00 am, he could sense that the rough winter was out and the colours of mother earth were back. He was deep in thought, as he stroked his stubble...yes it was the need of the hour, why not!.. Naku bopped up her head when she saw familiar scenes and landmarks from the back of the open jeep and finally the right turn from the roundabout made Naku's heart beat against her sternum. ooohhh Bappa! she cried out aloud and touched her heart , the final left slow swing up the gradient and she knew! in frenzied ecstasy clutched his shoulder "Saab hum ghar aye gaye! he turned his head to her at the back back hummh Naku,wapse ke rasste mein tha ghar"...he jumped out of the jeep as he noted the loud music ,blaring and people shouting and women screaming. He walked over to the back "right! chaalo utro sab ke sab, jeep edher he rahne do and his BGS ran to him and he said, "kaise ko kuch maat bata humra bare mein", and turned to "Naku chaal let's change ,ap log udher betien and he showed his soldiers to the lounge,. Dutta scaled the stairs two to three at a time and headed straight for his room he didn't want to waste a single precious moment! pulled off his shirt put on a crisp white kurta pyjama , beige toe pot sandals . Naku took Khan with her to her room to change. Naku came to his room to lay out of his clothes but found he had already changed, she gazed at his tall figure his long brawny arms in pushed up to the elbow sleeves, how handsome he looked his collar undone showing his black shiny curly chest hairs. He looked at her as she too stood before him in her white tight hip hugging shirt with a quarter open collar and three quarter length sleeves, with white churridar pyjama ...he creased his brow and his eyes held a flash in them, "ye kya phena hai tune jahal aurat! have you bloody thought if your belly and bosom are squirted with liquid colur your clothes will cling to your flesh , ja wapis apne karma mein aur ja koi light rang ke sari pehan ..ja!" he said dismissively with a twirl of his raised fingers! Naku, grumbled, "hai Bappa! Saab ka meter kab ghum jaye pata nehi ,she changed into a lemon saree with a high neck! full sleeved blouse with a scowl on her face she pulled her plait forward and slapped it on her neck and pulled it hard across one side of her bosom, she checked all her body parts were covered and Khan in Naku's white kurta shalwar and chunni folded across her bosom stood aghast, "why did you change into such a sober sari?"she asked baffled. Naku just shook her head and left the room, Dutta met them in the upstairs corridor as he came out of room ..he looked at Naku, and his mouth curled into a slanted smile ..hummh throwing a hissy fit..baaaby if only I could show you how fantastic you look , he and checked her figure from behind as she strode past him in long angry strides...

They reached the garden area, colourfully decorated in bright hues of the rainbow ,red blue green , orange ,yellow garlands and buntings graced all the trees and bushes.. long tressle tables graced the edges of the garden with huge thaals of sweet meats and savouries covered with net domes to ward of the flies ,while another table ,held pyramids of powder color with finger prints here and there . Some where the aroma of fresh pav bhaji rose to the skies and into the noses of the Patil Nawisies ..an over sized man in a sleeveless waist coast with bulky sweaty arms tended to the large metal griddle mashing up the hot bhaji with the halved baps placed around the hot griddle. In another corner sat the galebi man with a gooey muslin pouch which he swirled as liquid poured out into a large wrought iron wok with hot oil! amidst all this stood a big metal bowl of milk strewn with rose petals, and a table with shiny metal glasses... his eyes sought his mother and he finally found her seated on a colourful settee before he could get to her Baji spotted the arrivals and shouted "Bhao ! oy Deva shappat! mein ne bahut pe le re! he shouted and Roops ran to greet her brother and dragged him, but Dutta said "mein ata hoon Roops ,he turned to Khan and his soldiers "ao main apne Aye se milwata hoon" he grabbed some red colour in his fist and headed towards his almost weeping mother who held her arms to her son as he bent down and wiped both her feet with red powder colour "holi Mubarak ho AS". She held his bent head and put a red tilak on his forehead from the colour thaal next to her."Dutta humara beta, humari holi tu ab hoi hai jab thujhe dekh leya hai, mera baache", Dutta dewy eyed stood up and said "AS, ye mera saath do sanek hain, aur officer Khan ko tu ap jante he hain "AS smiled as the soldiers, and Khan touched her feet and she placed her hand on their heads to bless "baachon aap ka sowagaat ho humara ghar pe, holi mubrak ho ap logon ko", and she turned to her son, "aacha kiya Dutta ju tu unhe bhi apne saath le ayea , Holi ka matalab hai khushion ke rang sab ke se saath bantana, chaalo ap log, kuch khaian "she invited..and turned to Dutta, "ab kuch rooz reha ga na Dutta?",Dutta put his hand on the corner of his mouth, "nehi AS jana hoga wapis aaj he thore dar bad, kam bahut hai mujhe tu rok nehi sakta", he lowered his eyes unable to look into her disappointed eyes ..she gulped and her restless eyes searched and soon after lit up on sight of her darling bahu, who headed towards her future mother in law. Naku smiled as she applied a dash of colour to AS's feet with love ,respect and adherence to traditions. In turn she received her aorta of AS 's blessings of her share alongside a confounded look that concerned her austere attire on such merry an occasion," Naku, beti tune peeli sari pehen hoi hai, saffed rang ke kapre kyon nehi phene jaise Dutta or baki logon ne phena hain?" AS questioned .Naku looked sideways at him as he stood near her in front of his mother one arm folded and other tweaked his stubble ,"woh AS kya hai na, ek he safeed suit tha ur woh main ne Khan ko de diya tu maine bola chaoloo ye peeli sari he chaale gi" she bluffed as she gave Dutta visual daggers ,he responded by a crooked smile and a roll of the eyes...as he turned to take in the notes of "rang barse bheege chunarwali re raang barse" and "holi khela raghuveera... he smiled as he saw, Baji ,Kishore ,Roops, Leela and Kala dancing to the vigorous cadence of melodies..Baji who waited and looked from afar for his Bhao and vahiani to complete their greetings with AS, ran towards them and put his arm around the couple and ushered them towards the hub of the party, "kya re Bhao, tu itna formal kyon bun raha hai , apne ghar aye hai tu, woh bhi holi ke time pe ! kya hai aagar tere do sanak pe saath hai ,woh dekh maine unhe bhi kam pe laga diya hai, dekh uder gha pee ke maaza le rahien hai woh!",and he pointed towards the two soldiers and turned to his friend and embraced him, "kya re! ,gala tu laga ja! thars giya tha ye Baji rao apne jaan o jigar ke liya", and he winked at Naku with a wicked smile as he clung to Dutta's broad neck, Dutta smiled in his friends embrace and whispered, "wardan ke bundo bassat kiya hai tune kia?,he asked with a twinkle of, "ho Baho! ye le and both the friends headed towards the intoxicated milk...Baji passed the metal glass to Dutta ,and Naku placed her hand to bar her Saab, but Baji intervened "kya re Naku ye Shiv ka wardhan hai ,pee lene de Bhao ko,maat rok," "nehi Baji Saab ne safar main pe bhi kafi pee the is liye..she protested, but Baji pressed the metal glass in Dutta's palm, "kya re ek khoont sirf taste kerne ke liya", Baji begged, Dutta looked down at Naku with eyes that pleaded ,and nodded his head once, "sirf ek ghoont Naku",and she nodded back with a given up smile ,before she raised her head, her Saab dossed the whole glass of the bhang milk down his gullet ,and Baji doubled up in a guffaw!.Naku tapped Dutta's arm and moaned "Saab ap ne bola the sirf ek ghoont!" ,he looked at her and replied, with a wicked slanted smile "hain tu ek ghoonte he tu liya hai!", which brought more applaud from an already tipsy Baji! Roops brought the collection of powdered colour in a sectioned metal platter and held it between Dutta and Naku..Dutta took a pinch of fuchsia and grazed her soft fair cheek on either side.. "holi mubarak ho Naku", he whispered, and she poked , her finger in purple colour and ran it across the side of both his stubble cheeks and with lowered eyes she replied, "aap ko bhi Saab,"..a jet of red ,green ,yellow, blue! wet squirts of colour caught both Dutta and Naku from all angles courtesy of all the family members , till they appeared like a rare sight of two, multihued human rainbows, dappled in the colours of love!

The Military jeep once again, took to the road , as this time it headed towards the Dera hospital first and then the military school. Khan ,felt the need to meet her course mates, she gathered it was after lunch time, late afternoon ,and since the tutor was not due to lecture till 3.30pm..she was most likely to find her course mates in the library. She entered inaudibly till Bhatnager , Kapur and Tiwari saw her and excitedly stepped out the library and huddled around her, like ants to honey " so you have returned Khan? tell us what happened ?and what took you so long?..you have being playing hooky!" teased her officers... to be continued..Hamlet53 ~9.3.12
