CHAPTER 8 SACH KA SAMNA😆
DOBRIYAL HOUSE
Pia has just come from her dreamy date. She was about to go inside her room when shona caught her midway and pulled her into her room.
Shona (interrogating)- pia di, not so soon….you can't go without giving me the detailed report about your date. (winked at her)😉
Pia (blushing)😳- shona…..you are too much….let me go….i am not telling you anything.
Shona (smiling mischievously)- oh common my shy princess, you are blushing continuously n your cheeks are turning red like tomato….means the date was amazing…..oh plz tell me else I would not be able to sleep whole night because of suspense (pleaded making faces)
Pia (laughed at first but then showed fake anger, pulling her ear) miss "curious" give rest to your brain and by the way I should be the one to interrogate you…..you helped him na??? you told him about my favourite place n all.
Shona (frowning)- so what?? He genuinely asked for help and I obliged him…after all it was about my di (smiled at her)😛. Now be a good girl n tell me how was the date…..romance, dance ….cochi co ...huh!!!...he held your hands….or may be..he kissed you. OMG (said all thing in one go, feeling super excited).
Pia (trying to calm her down)- ok ok…..i will tell you but plz for god sake shut your big mouth or else mom n dad will hear us.
Shona (teasing her)- so what pyar kiya toh darna kya….let them know.
Pia (giving angry look)- shona..will you stop it??? It was only our first date….i don't want to tell anything to mom n dad unless I am sure about it.
Shona (keeping her hand on pia shoulders as if assuring her)- fine, do what you feel right. But you cant escape my interrogation tonight (winked at her)
Finally pia accepted defeat n told her whole story, off course "censored version", and they passed whole night chatting n gossiping with shona teasing her every now n then.
NEXT MORNING, KABIR'S HOUSE
Abhay was sitting with a guitar in his hands singing the same song which he sang for pia last night. He remembered their date n kiss, a beautiful smile crept on his face. Kabir noticed this n came towards him.
Kabir (hitting his back lightly)- wake up boy….again day dreaming…huh!! Let me guess …its about pia…right!!
Abhay (smiling)-😊 yeah, yesterday night we went on date….oh kabir help me yaar…my love for her is increasing meeting after meeting….at this rate I'll be a majnu soon.😆
Kabir (laughing)- ok Mr. majnu…keep your majnugiri aside n pay attention to practice.
They were disturbed by the doorbell. Kabir went to open the door. A boy gave him an envelop addressed to him. He opened it to look what it is.
Abhay (curiously)- hey whats in the envelop???
Kabir (casually)- oh..its our marksheet. Its from university..they have sent it in physical format.
abhay (shocked)-😲 what….marksheet…but here…why?
Kabir – they have asked for permanent address n I have given this address na..thats why
Abhay (more shocked)-😲 oh no!!! I have also given my Mumbai address …that means my marksheet will also come at my house….or who knows may be it has already come….oh no!! man…I have to go home right now.(left for his home hurriedly)
OFFICE, RAICHAND PHARMACY
Pia was looking at the file. (shock n suspicion written all over her face). After checking out every detail twice she thought that she needs to share this imp piece of information with her dad so she went directly to arnab's cabin.
Pia (worried)- dad I want to show you this (giving him the file). I was just going through the financial papers when this file caught my attention.
Arnab (checking the file)- whats wrong with this file pia? Its a normal file disclosing the distribution of profits as per our profit sharing agreement i.e. 40% to us n 60% to raichands.
Pia (still worried)- no dad its not normal. Have a look at it. Before distributing it as per ratio a large amount is being continuously taken out from it since past few months in the name of R&D.
Arnab (trying to reason)- its ok pia….its company's policy to keep some part of profit for R&D for its future growth.
Pia (trying to explain)- I know dad but I have checked, this amount is not going to our company's a/c but to other companies of raichands and this is unfair. We don't have interest in their other companies so why we'll compromise our share for them. If chand uncle wants he can contribute from his share why we have to pay for that??? N on the top of that he didn't even ask you about this…this is cheating.
Arnab (trying to calm her down)- pia…cheating is a strong word. Yes its true that I don't have any info abt this matter…..but if chand have asked me also then I would have no problem with it.
Pia (annoyed with innocence of his dad)- no dad….baat paise ki nahi baat neeyat ki hai….he could have asked you about this….but no he didn't even tell you….we would have never known it if today I haven't seen it…..today if he doing this then I m afraid that may be….in future he could trick you or fool you for anything…you should talk to him abt this.
Arnab (smiling)- I know my daughter cares for me but sweetheart trust me I have much more experience than you…..i know chand is very practical….a shrewd business man but he is good at heart. He will never do such thing to me. N besides this…I am happy that I m giving my family a luxurious life…I m content with what I have…so if he is taking some extra money I don't mind. N you should not mind it too.
Pia (finally accepted defeat knowing his father is too good to understand the mean nature of world)- ok dad if you say so. But soon my exams are coming n I will not be able to give time to office so I want you to be careful.
Arnab (hugging her)- ok sweetheart.
RAICHAND MANSION
All the way abhay was praying that his marksheet should not have come yet n if came chand should not have seen it. But all his prayers were in vain as cat was out of the bag already. Abhay reached home only to find his marksheet in chand's hands n he was staring at it with mixed emotions of anger, shock, disbelief written all over his face. As soon as chand heard abhay coming towards him he turned back to confront him.
Chand (throwing away marksheet towards abhay, shouting at the top of his voice)- what the hell is this???😡
Abhay (guilt in his eyes)-😔 I am sorry dad…I was about to tell you…
Chand (cutting him between)- about to tell me what….another lie….first you said you did good in exams then you said result has not come yet…..all lies….i don't wanna listen anymore lie.
Abhay (was cool n composed as he thought that this is the time his dad should know everything)- dad plz calm down…I know its my fault…but I was waiting for the right time. I could not give time to studies as I was busy in a music competition….remember I told you we won it.
Chand (still shouting)- what??? U failed as you were busy in some stupid competition because of that stupid music hobby of yours. And instead of accepting your failure n repeating the session you are wasting your time here in arguing with me.
Abhay (still cool n composed as he was kinda expecting this type of reaction)- dad I don't want to go back to repeat the session…I am done with it (said last line in decisive tone)
Chand (cool down a little bit listening his decisive tone n thought that damage has already done now its time for damage control)- fine, you don't wanna go….i am ok with it…waise bhi…you are chand raichand's son..nobody gonna ask you about your academics performance….all that matters is that you are sole heir to raichand industries….but no more wasting of time….you will join office from tomorrow.
Abhay (sternly)- you didn't get me dad….i don't wanna pursue MBA n this family business n all. I want to make my career in music. I have already formed my band n I am giving auditions for a music reality show.
Chand (shocked, anger once again return to his face, said gritting his teeth )- do you have any slightest of idea what the hell are you saying?😡
Before abhay could reply him a sound caught their attention. They both turned around to find haseena standing there, as usual, all drunk. She has dropped her glass while coming towards them as she was stumbling due to the effect of alcohol. She has already heard all their convo. So on abhay's behalf she gave reply to chand.
Haseena (stammering due to alcohal)- shut up chand..keep your voice low…there is no need to shout at my son. He will do what he wants to do….he is not your puppet who will move on your commands.
Chand (shouting)- you shut up haseena….its only because of you he is talking to me like that. After all like mother like son…..its in your genes to be disrespectful n irrational fool.
Haseena (fuming with anger)- don't you dare put a finger on me….everybody is not materialistic n money hungry like you…people have other preference also….n if my son don't wanna join your business n become a money making machine like you…so he won't do it.
Chand (sarcastically)- I am money making machine….then what r u…coward woman…cant face the reality n drowning herself in alcohol.
Haseena (giving a disgusted look)- at least I m better than you….as even in this state I haven't lost my conscience.
Chand n haseena went on and on spitting out venom of anger n insults towards each other. Abhay stood there silently listening to all this. What was started with chand n abhay's argument suddenly become chand n haseena's usual fight n blame game n abhay become a mere spectator of it. After some time when he had has enough of it. He lost his temper, put his hands over his ears trying to shut their voices which were hammering his head n finally burst out.
Abhay (shouting)- stop it…..stop it both of you right now…when will you both understand...i am fed up of this….its my life….so let me take all the decisions …you dont have to worry about it. (left the house immediately giving them a disgusted look)
NIGHT, DOBRIYAL HOUSE
Pia was in her room in bedtime payjamas n loose shirt. She was going to sleep when her phone rang she felt irritated for a moment as who could have disturbed her this time. she saw the number n immediately her expression changed from irritation to a shy smile as it was abhay's call. She picked it up but as soon as she heard his voice worried expression replaced that shy smile. He said he is outside her house and wants to meet right now. He sounded very disturbed. She looked at the watch it was already 11.45pm her mom n dad were already asleep. She fought with the dilemma of whether to go or not but when he asked again " are you coming?" she just couldn't say no. she went out to meet him.
Pia saw him n gestured him to come inside. They both sat on the bench of the lawn of her house. She was even more worried after seeing him. He didn't look like usually cheerful, naughty n energetic abhay infact he was looking vulnerable n sad. Spark in his eyes n that breathtaking smile on his lips was missing and she didn't like it at all.
Pia (holding his hand)- what happened??? Is everything ok??
Abhay (looking towards the ground)- dad came to know abt the result n I also told him abt the band.
Pia (understood that he had argument with his dad, cupped his face with her hands n made him face her)- hey look at me…everything will be fine soon. May be your dad is angry now but give him some time he'll understand you.
Abhay (hold her both hands which were cupping his face n looked directly in her worried eyes with his sad eyes)- no…that is not the problem…I kinda expected his outburst…but…I m sad because my parents had a huge fight because of me….mom took my side n she argued with dad…n they..they…(he couln't complete the sentence)
Pia felt like somebody is stabbing her heart. She couldn't see him like this. She was feeling his pain. She hugged him tightly n caressed his back to console him.
Pia (still hugging him tightly)- hey don't feel bad ok…it was not your fault. Talk to them after some time n try to make them understand your point of view. All parents love their children a lot…n so are your parents…they'l l understand….everything is gonna be alright. And btw, all this seriousness doesn't suits your image (joked to bring him out sadness n started giggling)
Abhay also laughed with her, felt as if he is gaining back his confidence and energy. Her few words were enough to infuse new life in him.
Abhay (hugged her again)- thanks….thanks for coming at this time…and bearing this not so happening abhay. And yes you are right….this sadness n all doesn't suits to sexy hunk like me (parted from hug, winked at her n flashed his million dollar smile which she was longing to see)😃
They sat there for some time. Abhay's head resting on her right shoulder n his left hand held her right one n their fingers were entwined. Both were silent just enjoying each other company. After some more time abhay took her leave after saying thanks once again for being there for him then left after saying goodnight n kissing her cheeks.
He was feeling nice after long time as after that ugly fight he was feeling angry, restless n frustrated. He went back to kabir's house to let his frustration out by drowning himself in his music world but it seems like nothing was working at that time. He left that place too n wandered here n there whole day at last he could think of only one place where his heart can find some peace n he headed straight to pia's house. First he thought that she would not come at this time but somewhere his heart was feeling that she'll come for him. N yes, she came n all his pain, anger, frustration vanished just like that.
He smiled thinking about her n headed straight towards his home. The all confident n cheerful abhay was back, more determined now, to convince his dad.
precap- the deal (abhay convinces chand)
