EPISODE 23
NARRATIVE IS ABHYA
I was sitting in the car, i did'nt wanted to get out...since there was still 40 minutes left for the english class...then i got a thought ...how about a search on internet...mere galaxy S III would help me today...i took my phone...and wrote on Google 'how to recognise a vampire'...this word became a bit familiar now as compared to yesterday...i opened a page...there were key points there...
# not found with humans
first one was wrong ...dad told me he lived with humans...so this point is invalid, i moved to the second
# read minds
bang on...this was true...
# extremely powerful
again i was correct...ussne tree pheka tha
# cannot resist human blood
this point is invalid too...dad bhi toh control karte the
# blue eyes(when in true form)
till now i haven't seen...he has black eyes..and true form is what..??
# fangs(when in true form)
fir se true form...maine nahi dekhi hai kisi vampire kii true form ...kaise pehchanoo
# good family bondings
haan voh toh hain...but voh toh insaano ki bhi ho sakti hai...doubtful
# speed
voh toh surely thi...bang on again!!
ufff...yeh toh sirf confusion create kar raha hai...i closed the page...mujhe poora shak toh hai ki ranbir ek vampire ho sakta hai...do-teen points toh mil hi rahe hai after all...i have an idea...mai ranbir se bolungi ki i know he is a vampire ...agar hoga toh mai uske expressions se jaan loongi...and if he refuses ...toh do teen baar try karungi...mujhe fully act karna hoga jaise mujhe pata chal gaya hai he's a vampire...phir hi kuch sach pata chal sakta hai...and voh mujhe karna hoga abhi...kyuki iss mood mai padai toh nahi kar sakti hoon ...mera secret ...upar se ab yeh ranbir...i need to find abhi...before i was about to get out...i heard a bang on my side window...that was ish...i opened my window
"hi ishika...mai bas aa hi rahi thi"
"hi...aa hi rahi thi chod...aaj humme museum le ja rahe hai...yani poora din masti and no studies for today" museum...perfect...
"hmmm...ish...mujhe nahi jaana...mujhe ek zaroori kaam hai..."
"what??...but aisa bhi kya kaam hai"
"hai na baas ...baad mai bataongi..."
"okay fine...then mujhe varun ko pakadna padega...nahi toh bore ho jaongi...tina aaj bhi nahi aayi...chal tu apna 'zaroori ' kaam kar mai chali..."
"sun ish teacher pooche toh bol diyo mai college nahi aaye"
"okay madam" and she left..
ab mujhe ranbir se bolna hai ki voh bhi na jaye...i wish voh na jaaye...i went to the place where usually khannas behthe hote the...i did'nt forget to act my scared look...i reached there ...all the three were staring me and stood up ...i was thinking ki minisha and karan ke aage kya bolo...but i gathered strength and spoke.
"ranbir...are you interested in going to the museum"
he did'nt replied...i then spoke again
"good i will take that as you are not going..." i spoke again "and you are coming with me" he did'nt replied
before leaving minisha whispered in ranbir's ear "it's time" it's time for what...kya mera shak sahi hai...i needed to continue my acting...
ranbir was staring me...so i spoke "shall we...to my car" he started to move with me...we reached my car...he was behind me...i offered him the keys
"can you" he took the keys and we both sat and i did'nt locked my door as a part of acting and he that very clearly when i put my finger on the lock and then refused to lock it ...i was waiting for him to speak and finally he spoke "where do you want to go" i thought he would be angry but he was not.
"anywhere..." i showed anger
he started the car
"you mean a long drive"
"yeah...kind off..."
"how about the dehradun - mussorie point"
"i said anywhere" a took a long breath
we did'nt spoke for around 10 minutes...then i had to
"you did'nt asked me the reason to get you here"
"i was waiting for you to start"
"okay ...then...ranbir...tum auro se itne alag rehte ho...dekhne mai auro se alag...so unnaturally strong ho...tum dimag padte ho..."
"tell me something i don't know" he became angry now...what does this show now
"okay let it be short ...i now know that you are...you are a...vampi" he cut me in between "don't just say that word...please" was i wrong or what
"that means i am wrong"
he became silent "please tell me...ranbir...am i wrong"
"no i am not denying what you said" oh my god...my assumption was right...ranbir was a vampire...don't i should be happy or sad...it was like mai ek poori insaan nahi hoon toh uss tarah se sahi hai...but teen saalo baad mai insaan ban jaongi ...tab yeh galat hoga...but mai ranbir se dur kaise rahungi...he began to speak again
"i just wish...this word was never attached to me...it killed me from inside...roz apne aandar hi marta hoon mai yeh soch kar ki mai ek aam insaan nahi ...balki...ek...darinda... ek vampire hoon..." i could see the pain oh his face...that means he suffered a lot...i forgot my acting ...everything ...i got lost in his emotions
"jab soch se bahar aao to lagta hai...yeh mazak...lekin nahi yeh sach hai...meri zindagi narak hai...zinda hokar bhi mai zinda nahi hoon abhya...isliye mai tumhe nahi bata sakta tha abhya ki mai kon hoon...kya hoon...bas kyuki mai tum jaisa nahi hoon" mere jaisa hona bhi koi achi baat nahi hai ranbir mai bhi toh ek poori insaan nahi hoon ...
he became silent again...my eyes went to the lock which i locked now...kyuki mujhe koi darr nahi tha ranbir se...
"tumhe lock kyu kar diya"
i looked forward
"kyuki mujhe tumse darr nahi lag raha..."
"par darna sahi hai abhya...mai insaano ko darane ke liye hoon ...please mujhse daro"
"i don't know ranbir sab jaan kar bhi tumse darr nahi lag raha hai...body keh rahi hai darr but mera mind and heart keh raha..darna kyu..tum mujhe kuch nahi kahoge...would you harm me"
"i don't think i have courage...body kehti hai ki mar daloo tumhe but dimag aur dil keh raha hai ki tumhe mar ke aapne aap ko mar dalunga mai" matlab ...he liked me as well or what "abhya tum yeh toh jaanti hi hogi na ki meri khana kya hai"
"haan mai janti hoon tum insaano ka khoon peete ho...but fir bhi darr nahi lag raha ranbir...kyuki mujhe pata hai tum mujhe kuch nahi kahoge"
"i wish tum mujhse darti abhya...mere liye bahut aasan ho jaata sab"
then we did'nt spoke again...for around 20 minutes...he was at ease now...uska gussa calm down ho gaya tha
then finally i decided to speak...nahi to meri soch ki ranbir mere liye sahi hai ya nahi...mujhe paagal kar deti...
"ranbir tum jaante ho ...tum ek magnet ki tarah ho...aur baki sari ladkiyan...choti iron balls hai ...jo tumse attract hoti hui udti hui tumhare paas aati hai ya aana chahti hai...aur mai sab se alag ek thodi si badi iron ball jo sooner or later tumse attract ho hi jati hai" atleast maine usse thoda toh aapne dil ka haal bataya...he laughed...what was i funny ...
"well abhya mujhe lagta hai ki tum ek bahut hi badi iron ball ho definitely aure se bahut alag aur bahut badi...jisse ek chota sa magnet khud hi attract ho jaata hai...usual case mai toh chote iron balls magnet ke paas aa jata hai but iss case mai magnet udte hue voh badi vali iron ball se attract ho jaata hai" yeh ranbir kya bol gaya ...mujhe kuch samajh nahi aaya...did he meant usse koi aur pasand hai...ya fir...
"so tum actually kis se attract hue ho"
"did'nt my last statement told it"
"mujhe samajh nahi aaya tumne jo kaha" he laughed again
"sorry...in short yes i am attracted to you..badly" a sudden smile came on my face...that means he liked me too...then i came to the conclusion jab mom mai itne guts hai ki voh ek vampire se pyaar kar sake toh mere mai bhi hai...mai ranbir ke ilava kisi aur ke liye nahi soch sakti ab...
"so the feeling is mutual"
"yeah...unfortunately"
"you are not happy with that" i looked at him
"you can't even imagine how happy i am ...but abhya yeh galat hai...tum aur mai it's wrong...totally wrong"
"then what's right"
"sahi yeh hai ki tum aur mai ek doosre se kabhi baat na kare...mai hamesha ke liye tumse dur yeh dehradun chod ke chala jao...you can't even imagine how dangerous it can be abhya"
what he wanted to leave me...i bent down my head...and naturally tears came in my eyes ...i was managing them badly to not to fall on my cheek...that meant his love was less as compared to mine...he did always what's right exept this one...why ??...then he spoke
"abhya are you crying" how did he got to know
"no" i raised my head "i am sad ...that you will leave me now...all alone...mujhe bahut dukh ho raha hai ki ab tum mujhse dur chale jaoge"
"please abhya...when did i said that i always to the right things, mai bhi galat kam karta hoon...jismai ek yeh bhi hai...tumhare sath rehna...nahi hai mujh mai himmat tumse durr jaana ke bhi sochne ki...jaan nikal jaati hai meri aisa sochta hu toh"
"that means you are not leaving me..ever"
"pata nahi abhya ever toh nahi keh sakta...but jab tak kuch bahut hi zaadaa badi galti nahi hoti...i am selfish for that...vaise dekha jae toh yeh ek bahut badi galti aapne aap mai hai...ek insaan aur mujh mai pyaar..." mai insaan nahi hoon ranbir...kaise batao...kahin tum yeh jaan kar mujhe chod na do hamesha ke liye..actual mai toh selfish toh mai ho rahi thi
"i wish this is ever forever..."
he laughed "tum janti nahi ho abhya tum kya keh rahi ho ...kitna khatra ho sakta hai tume ...u don't even have a hint of it"
"mujhe tumhare sath koi khatra nahi hai..."
"mai tumhare liye sabse bada khatra hoon abhya..."
"par kyu...tum toh control karte ho na aapni ...what you say...that thirst ko...insaano ke beech rehte ho the reason is just kyuki tum control karte ho..."
"agreed...but tum alag ho abhya...it's not just that i cannot read you...you can't even imagine how delicious you smell to me...your smell is uncontrollable for me...that is the sole reason i was rude to always..." my legs became numb...i did'nt spoke
"i am sorry ...mai tumhe darana nahi chahta tha...but yeh ho sach hai abhya..." agar mai dari toh he'll leave me so i managed to speak lying
"no i am not scared ranbir...mai.mai voh reason soch rahi thi iska"
"don't worry itni jaldi nahi chodoonga tumhe...aur aapne aap ko control karne ki poori koshish kar raha hoon aur hamesha karoonga jab tak kar paonga...i told you i am selfish...kuch bhi karunga tumhare liye abhya"
"ek taraf keh rahe ho selfish hun...aur ek taraf keh rahe ho mere liye kuch bhi karoge...isn't this called selflessness"
now i could guess the reason...shayd mai poori insaan nahi hoon isliye ..ranbir ko mai alag lagti hoon...yani mera aisa hona mere liye lucky nikla ...mujhe ranbir mil gaya...
"hum pahunch gaye ...uss point par" he spoke
i looked out...mera ranbir ke sath bahar dhyan hi nahi gaya...
"bahar chale...the car is filled with your smell...it's becoming difficult .."
"oh yeh chalo" he parked the car and we got out
he started to move in the jungle
"ranbir jungle mai janvar honge" he laughed
"mere sath rahogi toh koi choo bhi nahi paega tumhe" oh how could i forget he is strong...i followed him
we reached a place where there were two rocks and they were shadowed by few trees...
"lets sit here" ranbir said and we both sat...those two rocks were not very large...if we wanted to sit fully hume bahut paas bhethna hoga...i was scared a bit to touch him now...but he understood my facial expressions and he just sat on the half rock...he was surely a full gentleman...
"tumhe bhook toh nahi lag rahi"
"nahi filal toh nahi...tumhe lagi hai?"
"nahi...kal raat ko...leave it"
"no tell me raat ko kya...mai nahi daroongi"
"abhya...hum insaano ko nahi maarte...hum janwaro se adjust karte hai...tumhe darne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai..."
"kya difference hota hi janvaro ke aur insaano ke khoon mai"
he laughed, i liked to see him laugh "you are very curious...thirst obviously humans se zaada satisfy hoti hai...but it's our family's rule we drink only animal blood..." oh so his whole family was vampire...well that was obvious
"family...you mean minsha and karan"
"no humare parents bhi hai...my mom adah and dad raj...it's their rules we follow"
"kab se ho tum unke sath"
"since my birth...that is around 50 years for me and around 100 years for karan and minisha"
50-100 to 5-10 saalo ki tarah bol raha hai
i laughed "what are you thinking"he questioned me
"nothing tum 50 ,100 saal itna ease mai bol rahe ho...what's your age vaise"
he smiled "vaise 20 hai...but other way 70...abhi bahut kam hai"
kam...vo 70 ko kam kaise keh sakta hai...but that also means he would have come across many girls ...not now fir kabhi poochungi
"so tumhare mom dad kya karte hai...and are they your real parents?"
"dad judge hai and mom aur ladies ki tarah housewife jaise hi...and vo mere converting parents hai" i made a confused face...kyuki mujhe samajh nahi aaya...he explained further "i mean they are not my biological parents but more than that...dad converted me in this form...a vampire..."
"toh tum unn se gussa ho?"
"starting mai bahut aaya , but jab mai unki majboori samjha toh sara gussa chala gaya...waqt ke sath mai unki respect karne laga and now i respect him a lot...there's no one like him i have ever seen ...and adah she is close to me...she considers me her best son...i don't know the reason..." i cut him
"the reason is just you are just perfect in everything"
he laughed "you are highly mistaken...perfect hota toh tumhe aise khatre mai nahi dalta"
i kept quiet then kyuki minisa and karan ko mai thoda toh janti thi...because i disagreed with him, he spoke after 2 minutes
"abhya...just answer me one question"
"yeah ask"
"what's between you and that varun" was he jealous
"nothing...he is just my friend nothing else"
"i have read, seen and heard about jealousy...and i thought it's very normal but voh feeling jaan lene layak hai...it's a very strong one" i could just smile ...i was so happy he was jealous... "it's felt like killing him...but my rules..." i was blushing by that time.
"abhya tum batao achi tarah apni family ke barre mai"
"hmmm.. i told you before.."
"detail mai nahi bataya..."
"okay...mere dad hai abhay raichand...voh bahut ache hai ..unki har khushi har gam mere aur mom se shuru aur hum par hi khatam hota hai...and profession wise dad businessman hai...mom bhi bahut had tak meri jaisi hai...and a housewife as well" i cannot tell you why ranbir...it's not time right now "mai dono ko kisi bhi dard mai nahi dekh sakti...unki vajah se agar mujhe apni jaan bhi deni pade voh bhi kam hoga...they are the best parents" ranbir smiled "nahi jaan dene ki naubat nahi aayegi..."
i smiled too" nani nanu hai , voh bhi bahut caring hai...nani thodi melodramatic hai, nanu bahut concerning hai...but i like him a lot...baki ishika ko toh jaante hi ho...voh meri cousin hai, massi ki beti...voh bilkul apni mom jaisi hai...massi bhi aapne time mai poori tomboy , ladaka thi...and ishika ke dad hai kabir uncle...voh bahut sincere hai...aur meri unn se bahut pat ti hai...aur ishika ka ek bhai bhi hai...rahul bhaiya...vaise toh vo adopted hai...but voh humare liye real se bhi zaada hai...voh meri bahut fikar karte hai...and voh ek lawyer hai...he's like a real brother to me...aaj kal toh voh mumbai hai ...ek mahine ke liye...i wish voh jaldi aa jaye...i miss him...jab mai yahan aayi voh mumbai chale gaye"
"sounds nice.."
he looked in his watch..."abhya humme nikalna chahiye...tumhe ghar pahunchana bhi hai"
"okay ...yeah"
we went in the car and he started driving
then i suddenly got a thought...ish will definitely ask ki kya zaroori kam tha muhe ...kya boloongi mai usse...i started to think for reasons...because ab tak usse mera ranbir ke sath aana pata chal hi gaya hoga...
"what are you thinking?"
i think he would be helpful "aaa...ranbir mai ishika ko kya boloongi aaj ke liye...usse pata chal gaya hoga ki mai tumhare sath thi"
"you don't want it official"
"what..official...our meeting"
he laughed "no about you and me" he looked so adorable when he was shy , and i blushed hearing that
"oh...official..."
"because isse dangerous toh aur kuch nahi ho sakta that we love...love each other...so ab koi bhi baat ho jaye isse buri kya hogi...and also i don't want speculations in other's mind when they see you with me"
"point hai...but ish ko kaise bolo ki kya hua...voh to poori details mangegi and mai sab toh nahi bata sakti na"
"hmmm...point hai...say anything..."
"did'nt i asked for help from you"
"your cousin handle her...what i know is am i ready to accept you in front of everyone" i looked outside to hide my blush...because what he said just now...every girl would love to hear from her love...feels like my life has got successful
"i can help you in reading her if you want" i could that myself also...
"no thanks...i 'll manage" he laughed to himself
we were just about 10 minutes far from my home , all thanks to his fast driving..now i was used to it a bit as compared to last time...
"abhya mai tumhe kal college ke liye pick karne aaonga" was he serious
"kya pick... ghar par...no ..mom dad ko kya boloongi"
"oh come on...don't tell tum unhe nahi bataongi about us"
"nahi ranbir...it's early now...i'll but not this soon..."
"okay so tum mujhe kahin bahar mil jaana..."
"but iss car ka kya karoongi..."
"bol dena ...mmm...tum taxi se ja rahi ho"
"aisa keh kar jaise unhe suspicion nahi hoga...audi hone ke baad bhi mai taxi se jao.."
"mmm...got it...i know a wire jisse mai detach karoo toh car chalegi nahi...tum bol dena ki kharab ho gayi hai..."
"okay...aur mai bol doongi ki mai hi theek karaongi...fine..."we reached home , he took the car in the parking lot...i wish mom y anani bahar na dekh rahe ho...din ka tim vaisi hai...
"okay ranbir...kal milte hai...mai 8:30 uss point par pahunch jaongi...and don't forget to fix the car.but one thing...how will karan and minisha will come"
"oh ...leave that they'lll manage..."
"but..."he cut me "bola na they will..." we got out from the car...i came to have my keys...he gave me my keys...
i was waiting for a bye for today...
"abhya...mai chalta hoon...mann toh nahi keh raha but...before anyone sees me...i mean koi aa raha hai bahar"
"oh bye...see you.." i laughed and he was lost in just in a second...ofcourse he thunderous speed...
i went inside he was right mom was coming out...
"abhya...aa gayi beta...maii zara misha ke ghar ja rahi hoon...you go and take lunch and have rest"
"okay mom...see ya"
i wish ish would have reached her home...i messaged about mom's arrival and not to tell he aything...and also promised to tell her what happened today...kuch bhi bakwas bolna padega...the day was so so ...aaahhh...lovely...mujhe pata chal gaya ranbir vampire hai and that he loves me as well...my evening was fin and raat toh surely i was waiting for it...taki mai ranbir ko apni dreams mai dekh sakoo...
