Mishal Raheja as Major Dutta Patil
Painful Rapture ~Chapter 64
"we that are lovers, run into strange capers"..Shakespeare
Naku sat withdrawn and silent, during the ride home to PN. With a sided glance and an escaped slow sigh he,desired to know,"Naku tu kush nehi hai ke hum ghar ja rehe hain?. With fingers that moved nervously, she turned her head that shook with large green eyes that turned her answer into something he fancied hearing,"nehi Saab kush hoon, apne ghar wapis jane ke liye kaun khush nehi hota,",she impressed. He folded his chin and she made out his sharp proud profile with fixed eyes, it was clear to her he would not further challenge her ,as they were driven home by an army jeep, she was lucky enough that she sat beside him. But to her it seemed time just flew well without her reach and left her high and dry , vulnerable ,and she swallowed quite so alone. As if her silence articulated to him and motioned him to reach out for her tiny soft fair hand. He felt it warm under his broad palm, now had they been alone he would have brushed it across his full warm smooth lips, but instead he felt her hand twist and their fingers interlocked and their palms kissed. Both forthwith harnessed their sentiments and looked out of the jeep, in a desperate move to divert attention. Eventually both noted and felt that the jeep had pulled before the entrance of PN and came to a halt. The body guards stood to attention as the master and his wife disembarked. Dutta nodded and ordered, "un logon ka nashta ke intezam karo", and then accepted the salute of the two soldiers who dropped them home from the aerodrome. Baji traipsed down the entrance stairs and clung to Dutta, it was like every opportunity he could find he clasped himself to his friend's bosom. Funnily enough Dutta too gently felt Baji's shoulder, it was as if this endearing act would be bit of history for times to come. Naku witnessed this oft repeated show of affection between the two lovable males in her life, and once again she felt the lump, being formed in the pit of her throat, but in haste she gripped herself, gathered up the pleats of her sari a little, and finally moved up the stairs to recieve Aarti from the hands of AS who waited patiently. Dutta and Baji followed suit distracted by her movement, and Dutta stood tall and somewhat shy next to his wife and received the tilak.. his mother's eyes studied their faces intently looking for signs of content consummated love for each other. Dutta caught on as his beloved Aye's looks examined his face in particular, and he furrowed his eye brow a little just above the bridge of his strong nose, questioningly, at his mother, who smiled and shook her head and brushed aside her intimate thoughts about this beloved couple. She held his stubble face in her palms and he automatically leaned his forehead for her and received the mother's brush of lips against his skin, an act equally sacred as that of a deity being worshipped. He smiled and looked sided at his wife and then put his arm around his mother's shoulders silently and walked her to the comfy sofa chair ,sat her down , bent his knees, folded his brawny loins and sank on the floor beside his mother. He looked up at her and closed his sinewy uniformed arms around her knees in a warm much desired hug and rested his head on her lap ,and closed his eyes. The remainder of the family knew this liaison between the mother and son was best left undisturbed, so stood and watched. from afar. As Dutta expected, his mother ran her blessed loving fingers through the dark mop of his hair and brushed his mop back from his forehead. It had traditionally been a therapeutic action which always resulted in giving tranquillity to both mother and son. Naku went into the kitchen to make tea and see to dinner, when Baji, alongside Roops followed her and stood sheepishly beside her. She turned to face them her back rested against the work top as she awaited upon the kettle to boil. Finally she folded her arms across her bosom and expressed, "now what's this all about? it's obvious that you two never grace the kitchen with your presence, tu kiya baat hai kuch chaiya tha?.Baji smiled fully loaded with his dented dimples, which added to his innocence, and scratched his head as he looked at Roops, who nodded positively and he , began, "woh kuch nehi Naku, bas ,we were wondering ke sab theekh tha na udher? matalab, tu who Bhao",he fumbled, and Naku smiled impishly as she heard the word "woh"..and before she could say boo to a goose her action man stood holding the kitchen door posts and he spoke in a guttural voice,"haey! Baji thujhe kab sa ye larkiyoon wali "who" ke bemarri ho gaye hai hummh?",and then he looked across to his gorgeous woman and spoke his request , "who, chai mile ge kya?" and Roops and Baji performed a loud high five as Baji guffawed ,"aree Bhao thuje bhi Naku ke saath rah ke "who"ke laat lag kiye hai"!he doubled up, and Dutta looked at his wife pointed his slender finger towards the tea pot , cocked his head, narrowed his eyes at her , glared at Baji, and mumbled, "yeah whatever.."and stiffly left the kitchen, and resumed his position on the floor near his mother..
But Roops, was a bit more assertive, and she revisited the badgering of Naku, "now what we weally..weally! wanted to know vahini is that did Bhao behave himself or did he display signs of sudharrhoistic ..tendencies'"she asked concerned and Baji , protested ,"arre Roops sedhe theran se pooch ke Bhao pyar mein ghayal hoya ke nehi Naku?! bata , information will go no further!" insisted Baji with a sincere smile. Naku bit her knuckle and widened her eyes and replied in a resigned tone,"dekho, Baji, Saab kudh ghayal hoona se phele saame wale ko ghayal ker detien hain." and Baji wiggled his bottom and shouted," areee, Naku, Bappa kasam yene ke aag dono terf barabarrr! lage hoi the, pun tum dono baach ke kaise ah gayea?" danced Baji, and Dutta peeped in again and yelled "main batoa Baji survival ke phande hummh? chaal ah baher, baton thujhe "he growled as he yanked his folded arm backwards in a clenched fist and Baji pulled back his head rubbing his chin!. Dutta ,looked at Naku, and complained "ab tu sarre din apne favourite kamre mein khare rehe ge ya chai bhi lai ge? , gala sukh gaye hai" he moaned and Baji ran and offered him a glass of water, "ye lo Bhao, peeo.. ,galla sukha hai? ye thumharien an khien tarass gayen hain vahini ko dekhne ke leya"jested Baji with a wink, and the two ladies giggled and Dutta with a glass of water held in his hand ,looked at Naku,"thujhe bahut hassi ah rehe hai, stoopid lardki, jab dekho un dono ke saath mil ke un ke pagloon wali nonsense ko bharawah deti hai," and Naku argued,"kyon maine kiya kiya haiSaab?" Dutta turned and faced her as he sipped his water,"woh baton ga baad mein, thujhe,jo kiya hai tune", he said with narrow eyes and Baji, cackled "ahem! ahem! baad mein Roops, Naku ke class le ga Bhao!",and Naku decided to be on task as she watched his broad back exit out of the kitchen,"chalo Baji help me carry this stuff to the table. Roops and Baji did as they were told. Dutta, continued to maintain his seated position on the floor, crouched comfortably beside his by mother's knees and lap. Naku looked across to both mother and son and decided to set the tea fares on the centre lounge table and soon after her, Baji and Roops busied themselves as they served tea.. to Dutta, AS, Kala and the rest of the family. Dutta sipped his tea under the affectionate motions of his mother who continued to comb his hair with her magical fingers. Naku looked at Dutta and bent and offered him a bowl of sherrah. His eyes twinkled as he caught sight of a tiny bit of her cleavage as she leaned forward. He delayed her,in that posture ,for he knew she wanted him to taste and then comment. He put a spoonful in his mouth his eyes still on her, "delicious.. bahut aacha buniya hai tune Naku" ,he said loudly ,and she blushed and stood up and moved on as she served the rest.. Baji noted the look in his Bhao's eyes and remarked cheerfully,"kha lo khalo Bhao! udher UK mein koi nehi milna wala tumhe vahini ke haat ka sherrah! main tu bolon, Naku thura sa pack ker ke de de Bhao ke saath , us ka mau meetha rehe ga!" he laughed hysterically, and Naku's face suddenly fell as she, quietly glanced at her beloved man's rosy cheeked stubble face, as he tucked into the bowl of halwa, to the last grain. Soon he held the empty bowl at her .she smiled at his wide eyed school boys looks, as she walked towards him and collected his bowl. He cranked his neck at his mother and said,"nahin AS, ap nehi kha saktien hain ye sharre,..chenni hai is mein.."and Naku, gently interrupted,"nahin Saab maine AS, ke liya alag buniya hai, unke sweeter ke saath, tu yeh lien AS," she said as she offered the bowl to AS, who smiled and patted Dutta on his broad head, "dekha Dutta humari beta ko humara kitna kahyal, rehta hai, aur ek tu hai ,har waqat hum se door chala jata hai,"she complained, Dutta suddenly kneeled before her and diverted her moan ,"aacha AS ek chumach apna sherrah ka mera mau be dalien, mujhe chukhna hai ise," his mother smiled at him,"yele chukh le," and opened his mouth and his mother fed him ,while he shook his head from side to side,"bahut tasty hai AS, aur ap ke haat se kha ke to bikul honey jaisa mazza hai,"he convinced her with his big innocent looks.. Naku and Baji smiled at this docile lion's, pattern of behaviour when close to a loved one. But AS wouldn't abandon her motherly concerns and she started off,"dekh Dutta , ab dhaniyaan se apna samaan bandna, saab cheezien le ker jana, Bappa ke murti zaroor le ker jana..aur haan , apna teen waqat ka khana samae par kerna, theekh se.."and Baji chipped in, "aree AS, bhao tu ek nawala he khata hai , tu din mein tu who sirf teen niwala he khaya ga ,ab usmein tu ise zayeeda time ne lage ga , tu ap na chinta karien iske khana ke .. haina Bhao, mein theekh bola na? ,"confirmed Baji, and Dutta, tuned his head and glared across at Baji,"haan tu theekh he bola hai Baji, bas tu aadmi he ghalat hai, haina ?he retorted. Baji spread his palms and put on a sad face "suna ap ne AS,abhi jata jata bhi Bhao mujhe jale kate sunata hai! ye tu khalat baat haina?,he protested to AS,who looked tenderly at her younger son," maat use asia bol Dutta Baji tu humera laadla beta hai",she consoled Baji who replied to his Bhao, "dekha Bhao tum sher beta hoge! pun mein Aye ka laadla beta hai.!"and he sniggered, as Dutta lowered his eyes and shook his head, and then, complained to his mother, "AS, ap ne he is nautanki ko itne dheel de hai , din ba din muskhara banta ja raha hai ,bas har waqat joke! har waqat mazzak ! jaise zindagi ek mazzak ho!",and Baji replied "haan tu life mazzak he hai na Bhao, dekho ab tum ja rahe ho ,ab tum ye chate ho ke hum sab beith ke rooiyaan , pun mera liya tu better hai, ke hum sab life ko ek joke samjhien aur hasien , haina,"and he started laughing "aree sab log udhas ho jaon ke Bhao humien kuch time tak nazar nehi ana wala!" he said as he laughed in feigned bitterness. On hearing his friend, Dutta's eyes clouded for a split second and he nodded his head, and declared,"tu theek bolta hai Baji , life mein har baat ,especially woh jo udhas ker de use mazzak se he lena chaiya!"Dutta admitted ,and Baji pulled up his collars and gave every one a dimpled smile. AS, looked at "Naku, beti tu he dekhna iske sab cheezien pack hoon , wahan thund hoti hai tu uske garam kapre zaroor rekhna! aur who sheerah bhi, aur throdhe se badaam bhi" she looked at Dutta, and he shook his head fervently,"nahin AS, koi khana ke cheezien airport wala allow nehi karte.., aur rehe garam kaproon ke baat, tu woh udhar ja ke bhi le sakta hoon..aur jo marzi nehi la kar ja sakte! pabunde hai saman par, isliye ap fikar maat karien, Naku ke elwa Rahman ko pata hai meri har zaroot ke kuan se cheezin pack kerne hai. "he said curtly, and AS saw Naku's hurt face and intercepted, "sun Dutta, ab tera lagan ho chuka hai tu Rahman ka peecha choor de ab! waise bhi Naku ko pata hoona chaiya teri chazzion ka..is liye packing woh he kare ge.."she said firmly , but Dutta raised his hand,"maagar AS, Rahmaan ko mera uniform ka sab pata hai is liya woh he pack kare ga" he insisted. Naku, knew her lion well, how stubborn and unreasonable he could get when he wanted to! and she mediated readily, "AS , theekh hai ,main aur Rahmaan dono he Saab ke packing ker dien ga ap chinta maat karien..",and AS touched Dutta's shoulder "dekha kitne samjhdar hai Naku,"she acknowledged and Dutta, nodded his head and replied with a proud chest, "woh tu hai AS, "chalien ap thura sa rest karlien".. and he put his shielding arm around his mother's shoulders and carried her up the stairs in his arms, to her room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once he got to the landing he gazed down at Naku and ushered her to come up to him by a jerk of his broad head. Naku followed his command and came into their room, where Rahman had already put out the special army olive green wheelie with Dutta's serial number 303:007MISH. Naku saw and her palm habitually went to her mouth, and Dutta turned to her and said curtly "chaal ab mera mau kiya dekh rehe hai get on with my packing", she winced at his words ,but also noted that he turned his face the other way and bit his lower lip hard. He walked away from her towards his window and parted the curtains and with his hands behind his back he just stood tall and gazed at the moon across the noir blue sky..he looked for the brightest star amongst the tiny diamante and once located, thus he communicated with his father through the sounds of silence.."Babba, main apne Naku ko choor kar ja raha hoon, Babba us ka khayal rekhna he implored, a lump in his throat, discomforted him emotionally too, so he threw back his head and attempted to swallow his tears. He clenched his hands behind his back and his square jaw twitched , a little infuriated at himself for losing his nerve for a moment. So this was another job he headed for, nothing that was out of the ordinary for him to be so emotionally het up about! he mused as he dug his nails into his slender finger , duty, that's what he needs to keep in mind not some lily livered thoughts that would pose a set back to his forward move. He knew she was in the room, her presence, even her silence filled his whole being into a song of love. Her peachy honey suckle fragrance even followed him in the nothingness state of the subconscious , let alone the conscious!. She had captivated him since the beginning of time and would continue to do so till eternity. He had gone before on duty, but previously always a sense of propelled duty, steered him forward, with an inherent desire to tackle new challenge, but this time, a change veered him off slightly. He twitched his jaw aggravated, when he faced what he loathed, it was her! she made it raw and sore for him to part from her ,he was so much into being with her! that the thought of parting from her was making him lose his marbles! he squared his shoulders and without looking at her growled at her, "I need at least ten pairs of socks, ten underpants, ten vests, ten polo shirts, my tooth brush and tooth paste.. and teri white chunni!." There was pin drop silence after that and suddenly "Saaab! and he turned around and she ran to him and clung to his chest and sobbed her heart out "ooohhh.. main mar jaon ge ap ke bagher Saaabbb", she hammered his hairy chest and he closed his arms around the small of her back as her body shook against, he caressed her back with his wide palms as he mumbled on the top her head fitted under his stubble chin. He kissed the top of her warm head,"Naku tu Dutta ke sherni hai ,itne kamzoor nehi ho sakte tu, phele bhi we parted but were always still close and one with each other ,so you mustn't lose faith my darling, my love , you have to give me strength , I need that from you" .. and moved his palm to her forehead and caressed her hair back a little so he could canoodle her forehead with his wanting lips ,she just shut her eyes as she buried her nose on his hairy chest. He pulled her forward and then whispered to her, "chaal choor mujhe, have to take a shower before I go to bed , "chaal mera raat ke kapre nikal.."and with that she disengaged herself from his taut frame ,and he raised his arms and pulled off his shirt. To routine, he was about to pull off his combat bottoms when he chuckled and witnessed, that in quick step she headed for their bedroom door and he called out"oh don't be such a bloody prude ! nehi uthar raha hoon apne kapre ,tu kaunse katrina kaif hai jise maine impress kerna hai" he teased and she returned and walked up to him and retorted,"aur aap bhi koi Salman Khan nehi hoon ju main impress ho jaon!"but before she finished he stomped towards and mumbled "teri tu maine! abhi thujhe main baton ka main kaun hoon?"! he bent his knees lifted her up bodily, threw her over his naked shoulder; stormed towards his bathroom and locked it from inside and set her on her feet. Shocked by his action, she crossed her delicate arms around her bosom and looked at him wide eyed and pleaded "Saab kya kar reha ho ,koi ah jaye ga " she whispered, "koi nehi ayea ga aur na he yahan main tera kal ke theran shower ke baher koi chowkidar hoon!,he shouted as he waved his pumped up menacing muscular arms in the air. She literally withdrew and more so, as he paced towards her slowly and she backed up and stood flatted right where he wanted her under the shower. He looked into her eyes narrowly and raised his sinewy bare arms and pressed them on the tiled wall above her head. He pushed his head forward and she lifted her lips to him, but he kissed the tip of her perfectly formed nose, "koi neh aye ga baaby besides I am here in the bathroom with my wifey not some broad hummh? and his burning mouth pressed on her slim fair neck ,which flushed her face as she pressed her burning palms flat against the cold tiles. His body narrowed the gap between them, to the point where none was left. Closely he looked into her wide green doe eyes, "bataon thujhe ab main kaun hoon hummh? he said as his lips slid gently across her petal lips. Naku , stood still as he loved her. She was his wife yes, but these strange and daring methods of expressing love she was unfamiliar with, and soon Dutta realized too, and felt her face with his forefinger and kissed her cheek , her temples, her ears and gently nipped her ear lobe and her belly quivered as he moaned in her ears and sank his lips in the nape of her smooth neck, "baabay I love you"' and his right hand moved surreptitiously over her head and turned the shower lever and Naku received a shock as luke warm water drizzled over her! and she sprang forward from the wall straight into her action man's arms and kissed his wet hair matted chest. Dutta smiled , mission accomplished he thought and he increased the water pressure and she clung stronger to his muscular hard body, her tiny feet perched on his large wide feet. Each, hugged and kissed the other with heightened intensity as desire swept in the flow of passion. He held her head against his wet muscular chest, when he recalled the countless times when he called for her under this very shower! today his yearning had come to pass. His palms felt her feminine sylph like body, smooth soft and willowy. He was unconcerned that his woman was fully clad even under the shower, to him the only thing that mattered was she was here with him in this private moment of love; for she still had her sari on and he had his bottoms on. Yet this posed no problems as Naku caressed and kissed his warm wet wide bare shoulders and he kissed her moist neck and passionately felt and tasted her mouth with such coarseness often, that she slapped his naked wet back. He paused and looked at her, her hair and face wet with trails of water running down he held her in his arms and felt her rounded full hips covered by her sari he lowered his eyes and gazed lovingly at what he made out as the soaked form of her full bosom. While she looked up at his face, his hair flattened on his fore head in a fringe, what a cutie, she thought, his pink lips parted, his stubble shining with drops of water, and she smoothed his drenched hair back with her palms and kissed his wide broad forehead as he parted his lips and grabbed hers and their heads moved in passion as the water saturated their bodies, continuously under the flowing jet of the shower . Dutta breathed heavily and his palm twisted the lever to cut out the shower and she embarrassed! got off his feet and stood completely drenched. He held his breathe as he could clearly make out the contours of her soaked body, and with narrow eyes he looked and stretched his long strong arm, and grabbed his extra large burgundy towel. With a swerved swing he captured both of them in it's fold and he pulled her soaked body to his and her petite body once bent by his frame, shivered with cold andwhen his hands attempted to relieve her off her wet clothing she held his hand ,andsaid shyly "Saab ap joa bhaher main change ker ke ati hoon", he pulled her back with one hand and glared into her eyes bending his face into hers as she stood wrapped in a towel pressed against him "nahin don't stop me Naku not tonight at least, I am leaving tomorrow" he reminded her .So inhibited as she was, her husband's hand still ,groped, unhooked and peeled off her clothes till finally he sighed as he held her close to him as she closed her eyes ,her face crimson .
Regulated by entitled passion, Dutta carried his wife in his arms to their large bed, and set her down. Before he straightened up she dragged the counterpane over her body. He shook his head and walked over to his side of the bed and sat down on the edge his naked back though leaned forward. He studied his interlocked fingers before him, it was funny, how moments of love were broken up by other niggling less relevant but equally important issues. She closed her eyes briefly under the warmth of the covering and waited for her beloved to get into bed. Her heart beat out of control as she blushed she had never..and the very thought even made her embarrassed. Her amorous thoughts were broken up by his guttural voice,"mujhe pata hai this is not the time , but it is the place to inform you that, main tere account pe nazar rekhoon ga, tu na to batana nehi ,if you need money tu ,I'll just have to keep an eye ,along with a million other things"' he griped. He heard the angered swish of her heels against the bed sheet underneath the covers, with a,"yeh kiya topic hai Saab, paisoon ka! mera pas yahan sab log hain, to cater to my needs, ap kis liye chinta kare te hain bataon..?, he shifted himself, swung his legs on their bed and directed his body close to hers under the sheet where he put half his weight on her ,looked deep down into her eyes and replied, "because that's what's husbands do , think about the maintenance of their wives, got it.. I knew you would say what you did , but I too am duty bound to cover the subject of finances with you," he persisted, although he knew full well that AS, would watch over Naku's essentials. Thinking of whom, he moved away from his beloved wife, and crossed his arms under his head and shifted his eyes towards her,"haan Naku, thujhe maine ne ye kshna hai, ke you will have to keep a close on AS,s hospital reports medication and general well fare, samjhe gae tu hummh?" he confirmed with her. In response she budged nearer to him and leaned over him slightly, "Saab aap ka jitne to aacha khayal nahin rekh sakte hain ye Naku , AS ka, pun koshish zaroor kar sakte hoon", she said slightly downcast, that he needed to remind her of the task which she would undertake without saying. He shifted his head to his side and his eyes blinked at her, when he said, "nope Naku, even your feeble attempt at overseeing AS's prerequisites, is not at par with what I can do for her, so I guess here too I am blessed in more ways than one", he admitted. Naku placed her soft palm on his warm lips as gazed into his narrow eyes and her palm then grazed over the his stubble face. She eyed his whole face as he lay there beside her his muscular arms crossed under his head and gradual tears began to build up in her large green doe eyes, and she eventually spoke about what mattered to her "and what about keeping in touch with me, woh kaise karo ge Saab? she questioned. He, rolled over andyet again pinned her down with his frame and pressed his lips on her neck and hoarsely whispered, "nahin I can't keep in touch with you the way I really want to, but we can, by using Skype.. that is if you are willing to do what I instruct you to do?" he moaned as he passionately pulled a bit of her soft skin into his mouth. She giggled as she fondled his naked back above her ,"je nahin,!she declined,"main itne desperate nehin hoon,"he pulled her lips with his teeth and mumbled, "maagar main thu desperate ho jaon ga tera bagher Naku, so Skype is the only way.."he insisted. She looked into his narrow lion like eyes and replied,"aach bolo Saab kiya karna parhe ga mujhe?" He shifted himself more over her and whispered .. the requirements in her ear softly and tenderly , in a desperate bid to get her to agree to his needs, instead she smacked his back .and fervently said,"ye ne ho sakta Saab ,ap aisa sooche bhi kaise sakte ho ke main, Naku! ye sab Skype pe karoon ge, sorry but no go!, she confirmed , and he chuckled and his hairy belly wobbled over her ,and he kissed her the tip of her nose, "ok na kar , par abhi tu apna Saab ka dil kush kar! hummhh, last night together baaby, teri apne lover boy ke saath .."and he attacked her with the ferocity of a possessed lion. Not knowing when to stop. Content he lay on his back , and her soft body snuggled close into his side ,her cheek on his bare chest, he caressed her bare back and her folded arm over him and closed his eyes.."baaby I am going to miss being with you, pata hai ,humien shaadi phele ker lena chaiya the, at least we could have stayed together, for a bit longer", he reflected, she moved her head up and kissed his indented defined stubble chin,"nahin Saab, har cheez ka sahe sama hota hai, things happen systematically for a reason, you had to go for the tutor ship role ,it had to be completed successfully, so that it could be amassed as an accomplishment on your profile.. now had we been married, it would have caused disruption in the performance of your duties.. ap ko meri chinta lage rehte har waqat ", she expressed, and he raised his head and looked down into her face, "so what's the difference now! we are married, and I still have to leave you" he argued, she smiled and said , "now I can only hope that my presence in your life , and our oneness can support you in this new experience and challenge you are going to meet when we part" Naku said with conviction. Dutta said, "correction darling, you are good for me and Naku I hope I am good for you too..", she embraced him passionately almost with a degree of insecurity and he ran his palm over her bare arm across this chest,"Naku, thujhe pata hai na,ke main thujhe se bahut pyar karta hoon, is liye ye maat samhejna , ke tera saame nehi hoon to tu dekh nehi sakte ke kitna pyar hai thujse mujhe hummh",he consoled her as he ran his lips on the skin of her fair delicate arm. She moved away from him,"itna pyar hai to phir apne trip kyon nehe cancel kar de aap na?"she challenged. He folded his arm over his forehead, and muttered, "trip nehi cancel ke because I want to go abroad and have a bloody jolly with multiple chicks! why else?" she rolled back to him and sat on him and strangled him , and he yelped , and had a good look at her that she which she realized and got off him and pulled the counterpane over herself. He chuckled and rolled over and grabbed her as she fought back and he burrowed his stubble face in her neck and pleaded ,"aacha baat to sun Nakooo' All night they declared their love to each other till exhausted they decided to catch a hundred winks'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was the morning Dutta was leaving hence the whole family gathered around the table and waited for the man himself. He finally came dressed in a woodland green and beige army uniform ,his beret smartly yanked on one side of his head. He walked with smart precision , towards his mother and sought her blessings .Nothing had altered except that he would be away from home for a short period of time. He sat at his usual place and expected his usual breakfast but instead arrived two pieces of toasted brown bread with margarine on top with a piping hot cup of tea..he folded his arms on the edge of the table and scowled down with hooded eyes at his plate ,then took a deep breath and remarked,"ye sab kaya hai Naku? mere sandwiches kahan hain? utha ise mujhe nehi kahna ye"he growled. Naku just stood by his side and looked helplessly at AS, who defended her,"kha le Dutta, sandwiches nehi buniya Naku ne tera liye kyon ke hum ne use bola tha,thujhe apne aadat halat ke saat badelna hoge", Dutta spread his palms in silent protest and Baji chipped in "haan Bhao ab apne aadat edher ghar se he shurrou karo , wahan UK mein yehe mila ga tumhe nashta pe , toast and tea, sandwiches nehi", he too tried to reason with Dutta. Dutta knew when he was licked and he looked up her by his side and she smiled and said,"khao lo Saab, khana waste mat karo, mein ne buniya hai apne haaton se , aur wasie bhi apne ghar se khali pait nehe jana chaiya, who maine'"he raised his palm, "bas Naku lecture nehi cha heya mujhe",and he picked up a piece of toast and bit into it and crunched and chewed it down.. Naku smiled quietly she watched him munch the last bit of toast. She wanted so much to flick the tiny bit of crumb at the corner of his mouth. He realized, the way she eyed his mouth that he needed a tidy up so he bent his slender fore finger and did the deed , and Naku bowed her head a bit with a shy smile which knocked Dutta out.. Naku my love tere ye filmi acting Dutta bahut miss kera ga, he mused..and abruptly raised his head and spoke to his mother as he sipped his orange juice," ahummn AS, ap ko ye kehna hai apne medicines ap waqat par lien ge , Baji see to it she does," he said as he turned to his friend. He then slanted his head towards Roops, "aur tu chooti don't do anything I wouldn't do .. and Baji see to it ke she remains within her limits," he said curtly and Baji raised his collars and pulled a watch out face at Roops. Dutta caught the expression and raised his pointer finger at Baji, "aur tu nautanki lal! ,behave yourself, ghar ke sarre duty tere hai ab, koi bhool chuk naho thujhe se samhje gaye tu Baji? ..ummh check security systems are maintained regularly aur body guards and other helping hands working within PN are paid their due on time," Baji turned towards AS, and felt her arm and moaned like an upset son who complains about an older sibling, "AS, dekha ap na Bhao, jab bhi khen jata hai , mera shammat lata hai, hukam deta hai , har bar wohe lecture milta hai"..he said with cloudy eyes.. and spontaneously, blurted "tu rok kyon nehi jata Bhao!? "Dutta's jaw dropped and he sighed and shook his head , and his eyes moved towards Baji,"oh for heaven's sake grow up ! bekar ke baacheon wale baatien maat kar".. Dutta looked at his wrist watch it was nearly time to set off for the airport.. he looked around and mused how would he break the news to them that an army vehicle would come to collect him and drop him at the airport . He blinked his eyes slowly as he turned to face them...and cleared his throat, "right! mujhe ye khena hai ap sab logon se , ke aagar ap ye sooch rehe hain ke ap airport jaen ge! tu khalet sooche rehe hain , koi nehe jaye ga! sorry this is not a wedding party, it's me leaving for my duty like before.. so there's no need"..he said firmly. His mother,however undeterredwalked towards him and held him by his shoulders,"theekh hai Dutta jaisa tu chahe, maagar tu humari baat bhi sun le ke Baji aur Naku apne gare mein jaen ke thujhe chorne! ye humra hukam hai.."aura ab jane se phela Ganpati ke darshan kar le taake sab kam subh ho.."she commanded. Dutta , bowed his head and on his way to the huge Ganpati statue, he stopped before his father's picture and with joined palms asked for his ashirwad. The family stood before their family deity, and each with hands joined in obeisance, prayed to offer thanks for protection from evil adversities. Dutta thought of the peace within him and asked for protection of his family during his absence and wisdom and fortitude for his forth coming mission.. It was time to leave, Dutta embraced his mother, but lingered his contact with his mother ,his eyes closed and he collected as much strength as he could from his mother and finally parted.. with "aacha AS, main ja ka aata hoona..".His sisters, hugged him and he accepted their love and good wishes, and forth with caught sight of his baggage being loaded in the army vehicle, and fastened his seat belt in the passenger seat..and left the familiar surroundings of home territory.

He checked through the side mirror that, Baji with Naku followed him. He smiled as he brushed his stubble face with his fingers, "ye dono mera peeche dom ke tharen lage hoi hain.. there' no getting rid of this pair. He gave a slanted smile , as he felt complacent that both Naku and Baji the two precious people in his life after his mother, had each other to give support to one another in dire moments. His face clouded as he knew full well that his absence would be most felt by these two, yet he firmed his expression as he thought, that they both were sensible people , and recognized what his job entailed and thus he should refrain from getting anxious about Naku and Baji's sentiments..and he Dutta! would stop immediately from getting into a state himself..
The jeep arrived at the international departure section of the airport. Baji as was expected, attempted to unload his friend's luggage , but was interrupted by the arrival of soldiers quite promptly ,as they hauled their officers belongings on a trolley, and wheeled it straight past the security guards into the Airport building. Dutta, looked at the two dears in his life and smiled with his chin doubled up he asked," now what do I do with you two, tail enders, hummh? Naku put on a forced smile and gave him the wide doe eyed treatment, to which he succumbed immediately as he narrowed his eyes at her with a wicked glint. Baji, obliged him ," tu departures ke caf mein laja ke coffee peela sakta hai humein Bhao", Dutta moved his head to one side and declined," no that can't happen Baji, you two came here to drop me, that you have, now there's no point in hanging about, besides you will not be let in , due to security reasons, so its best you guys leave now.."he said firmly. He turned towards Naku who stood before him, and spoke in a withdrawn guttural tone "mere, travel documents de, aur jana de mujhe,"she handed him his easy carry travel wallet, and before she could move forward he extended his palm towards Baji and shook hands with his best friend , his dil and jigar. Naku couldn't withhold herself and she threw her arms around his broad shoulders, and he looked into her large tearful eyes, and pulled himself from her embrace. Before it got worse he turned to Baji ,and commanded,"le ke ja aise Baji, take her home.."and with that he walked away towards the entrance of the departures. He was tempted to turn around to see if his command was adhered to, but it was pointless, as deep down he knew it would be that Naku would come around sooner or later.
Once the security checks were carried on briskly as he was army personnel on special duty, he walked about before his gate number was announced, when his mobile rang ,and he pulled it out with a smile ,and answered, "haan bol? kiya takleef hoi hai thujhe?.."Baji cackled, and replied,"kuch nahin Bhao, bas thujhe batana ha ke main aur Naku abhi bhi airport car park mein hain , in case you decide to change your mind!", Dutta, chuckled,"not on your nelly mate ,itne mushkil se freedom mile hai to do as I please tu aise opportunity main haat se jane thuri doon ga!,and you'd better get the hell out of there! before I send the Airport police to have you thrown off the premises for delayed nuisance parking!"Dutta quipped back..but before he disconnected , he asked the inevitable,"Baji, Naku theekh hain na?, and Baji, reassured,"she'll survive Bhao main hai na uske saath.." to be continued~ Hamlet53..28.9.12
