Mishal Raheja as Major Dutta Patil

Painful Rapture ~Chapter 68

"What the Dickens!"Shakespeare

This was no joy that he was away from her, he wanted her without an impious lust, but yearned in anguish as her ceremoniously rightful husband! and that was that! he thought as he pushed his hairy leg under his duvet. Savagely he pulled her chunni and flopped on it and moaned.. ooohhNaku , as he bit his lip , pushed her chunni and rolled on his back and folded his muscular arm on his forehead, his hand felt his moist hairy chest as he recalled how breath taking she looked in her purple sari , the images of her blouse flashed before his eyes. Till he wiped his upper lip with his slender back hand along pushed his hair back from his forehead. Bloody skype was good! but not quite as it created a masculine disturbance in him , his fingers groped for her chunni and he dragged the fabric to his mouth ,planting kisses on it ,as on her. He flared his nostrils when he recalled she was meant to bring her pout closer to the screen so he could feel how she yearned for him ,instead the silly woman placed her palm to rebuff his advances! still, he screwed his mouth silly though she may be he missed her tremendously ,and why shouldn't he ,she was his wife not some salad side line, she was the main course! he mused as he chuckled , he felt placid as he thought how content she seemed being the sole occupant of his big bed in his room. His eyes twinkled as his lips stretched at the notion ,that she probably envisages him lying beside her or better still, loving her.. he rolled over and squashed her chunni under his frame and whispered in her chunni , baaby I miss you so much that it's unreal that how a big action man like me can be turned into a mushy, wasting, pining away in your love randy romeo! Arghhh! he groaned as he caressed her chunni, and rolled on his back again enclosing his arms around it' "baaby tu bemaar hai, tu tera Saab wants to look after you my darling, kiss you to make it all better" he spoke to the chunni , "tera Saab , can nurse you back to health my love , tu bata to mujhe thujhe kiya problem hai?" he whimpered to her chunni and closed his eyes,. The truth of the matter was that he was anxious about her, as somewhere in his mind he concluded that she was a young twenty three year old who had no clue as to how to look after herself.. some how he felt if he was around her ,his presence would ensure that she ate sensibly , and home cooked food!. In his mind, there was no doubt that his mother's kitchen was the reason he turned out robust, talented and wholesome, he smiled as he palmed his cheek. Now, his Naku was one more to follow the desires of her palate which lead her to unhygienic places to savour such delights that should never pass through her luscious lips into her beautiful ivory body .. yesss he thought how he longed to be with her, yes he was a soldier out and out , but now he was just a man who craved nearness to his wife .. and he draped her chunni around his neck in complete belief that he lay in her warm secure lap where her two fair curvy arms slid down his neck to the muscles of his chest'his breathing became heavy, and his body loosened up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naku, smiled , her hand on her belly, she didn't know whether to think of what was going on inside her or on the person who was solely responsible for this metamorphism in her. She looked at his picture dressed in a kurta ,and she locked her gaze with his willingly , and sighed ,for it was him that she wanted, her Saab ,her action man. Here she lay feeling queasy all over with a dry metallic taste in her mouth , it was her lion man she craved for, she hoped that he would rock her in his arms ,and ease away the nauseating feeling in her.. although there was a certain misgiving in her that would he really? for she was at folly as she had not even disclosed this information to him. She suddenly felt she was going to retch and she shifted her self from the bed and made way towards the bathroom. With an aching gut she returned and gently lay on the bed clingingto his head cushions and crying in them , "Saab ah jayo mera pas , I don't feel well at all! , and she sobbed "Saaab ! uncontrollably in his cushion, her tears smeared her face and in turn his cushion , till she tired of crying gently rolled flat on her back exhausted with his cushion on top of her belly..she closed her eyes as she wiped away her residue tears. His face on the skype screen came back to soothe her restlessness. Even amidst the continuing tears that trickled , she blushed as she recalled how he looked so coarsely attractive and bit her lip to ward off the pain that distance created amongst them. Her tiny fair fingers felt her belly again, the doctor said she as expecting, but she felt no different in terms of exhilaration, in fact what she came across and which still persisted was the metallic taste in her mouth and the sickness, and the gush of "I want my Saab! and "I want him now!". She giggled, coupled with crying all in one go!. Not a nice feeling as yet, hummh she thought now if he was by her side then she would surely swoon every so often only to be gathered and carried in his strong brawny arms, and in gratitude she would capture his wide proud neck and plant a pressed kiss on his stubble cheek and he would place her on the bed and come for more of a kiss at a place which he preferred the most ,and she bent forward and cried again "oooh Saab .. ah jao mera pas"!' she sniffed and thought she had to let this pass so she considered instead ,how beastly he was to her on skype today, I mean he thinks he owns me, and knows everything about me, ummh she mused may be he does know everything about me but that does not give him the licence to assume, the role of being her big daddy , especially not now when she herself was becoming a mummy! Naku decided she would not tolerate his pushing her around now, in fact he would have to treat her like a fragile object now ,she thought bashfully.. but it would be a dream come true ,if he was beside her the rude man.. she giggled and grabbed her cuddly lion and held him high above her with a complaint .. "ab sune do Saab is mummy ko sleepy sleepy aye hai".. and with that she slowly lowered her cub on her bosom and closed her eyes.. but Naku , felt something was unfilled still in her and she realized what it was and her spirit heeded to the call, and she got up from the bed and walked towards Bappa's statue, with tearful eyes and hands joined in humble devotion she spoke, "Ganno bhahiya ,forgive me for getting carried away , it's you I come before to offer my thanks for your grace on me and my family, Bappa it is by your giving hand that I have received your blessing, you are gracious and great, grant me your strength to tend to myself in the way you would want me to", and taking with her an unexplained contentment she returned back to her bed and snuggled under her bedcover on the huge bed.

Out side his Bhao's room in the dim corridor, Baji walked slightly tipsy, yes he had a bit to drink today and why wouldn't he, after all he had received the best piece of news in his life since Dutta and Naku's marriage, today what the doctor confirmed was the bond between the two vital people of his life. Yet, he hung his head , in sheer loneliness , the distance from his bosom friend at this crucial instance ,where both could have clicked a glass for jolly good reason was far from being materialized. He tripped a little and held himself up with a palm pressed at Roops' door, which flung open and he fell into her arms and she held him by his shoulders" you sloshed again Baji, you a man or fish?, with his arm twisted he clutched her arm as he looked dreamily into her eyes, "aree Roop ke Rani, mein chachoo hai! aj maan jhum jhum jaye.."he drawled ,and Roops, helped him to sit on an armchair in her room and headed for the bathroom. He was not completely plastered, just a bit carried away on a merry cloud, so he noted when she emerged from the bathroom with a glass of water and the cold splatter knocked him to his senses with out delay and he sprang to his feet with both his hands clawed like pincers aimed at her neck , "Roops ke baache aj tu nehi bache ge mera hathoon se! he dived at her, but she moved aside and he banged right into the door which she closed with a side kick,"ouch! he yelled as he nearly missed his forehead as his previously hooked fingers, in prompt reflective action flattened on the closed door. Roops clapped with a laugh "now my dear Baji Rao if this hasn't woken you up from your tanked up state tu ye le"! and she gave him a gentle prod with her knuckles in his back ,and he reeled around ,his lips stretched in a dimpled smile and he grabbed her by the shoulders and slammed her cross his chest ,and she protested with her palms against his chest, "just a minute Baji Rao, short cut mein baat ker zayeda close ana ke zaroorat nehi , warna apne Bhao ko phone laga doon ge aur teri ,supari nikalwa doon ge abhi ke abhi" she challenged as she jumped back wards and pointed her finger at him like a gangster! Baji threw back his head and doubled up in a hysterical cackle, "pure ke pure phatka dekti hai tu, aise ker tu bhi meri partner bunja dono mile kar PW mein pe raj kerien ge.."she nodded and replied ,"haan Baji together we serve our people, like Naku does, AS does and our dearest Bhao does." He came closer to her and put his arm around her shoulders and tapped the side of his head wih hers,! "waise have to say , Roops, khabhi khabi you do come out with some good stuff which gives me hope that you still have some sense in your.. ummh it's in the soles of your feet put sometimes it travels to your head! he sniggered and she nudged his side with her elbow and he yelped. He prepared himself to leave her room but before that he turned towards her, and scratched his head from the side,"woh Roops let's look up on Naku hummh? check that she is fine ,thujhe pata hai Bhao edhur nehi hai ,tu thujhe aur mujhe us ka khyal rekna pare ga at all times "he said pensively,"haan Baji you are right, Naku although is close to us ,she still when it comes to her own discomfort is unwilling to share, in fear of putting out her family, Roops admitted.." and with that the pair of them tiptoed down the corridor towards Dutta's. room. Baji moved his palm towards Roops to open the door to his Bhao's den, where he never waited or asked permission to enter ,but now in a wink of an eye a respect caused him to do so , he loomed behind Roops as he gently waited for her to open the door , both peeped in and smiled at Naku who slept on her side half covered with the bedcover. Baji filled with two fold sentiments, a brothers and a brother in law's lowered his head and whispered to Roops. "quietly go in and cover her properly", he watched her go in soundlessly and lovingly, and smiled quietly as she covered Naku and returned. For a brief moment they both lingered at the ajar door, as Baji mused that nothing had changed, that she looked the same Naku, simple ,sweet and petite. Baji lowered his eyes and turned away, yet she had changed in some sublime way , he turned his face aside and tapped Roops shoulder as he beckoned her to come away. The door closed quietly and Naku smiled , and drew a deep breathe of serenity ..yes she was not alone.. Saab nehin hain ,pun unka right hand tu mera pas hai mera Bhai Baji.

Baji walked satisfied towards his room, but somewhere internally he felt he needed to have some words with AS and Naku. He did as a dutiful son check if things were well with his mother.In Dutta's absence, Baji felt proud to take on the duties of the good son, as AS had called him fondly, but still tonight he felt the sharp niggle of Bhao's gap pierce a part of his heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was rise and shine up at the Manor. Dutta in combat uniform, embraced the day with more of a keener mind set then before, for today was alongside a preliminary lecture on lethality, a practical simulated trip to the rifle range, his gut yearned for the callous feel of gun metal .There was general excitement after the lecture, as the officers packed into the back of a convoy truck, in true soldier style. Dutta before he raised his sinewy leg and clamoured into the vehicle was stopped by Ramsey, "ah Dutta , seeing that you have experienced delivering tutorials plus demos on rifles ,we were wondering if you would be able to initiate the role today? of course, as deemed fit Major Ashford will assist you in the delivery" explained or rather ordered Ramsey. Dutta in full discipline and form ,responded ,"of course Sir, the pleasure is mine, I'll be delighted to induct", Ramsey nodded and headed to notify Jane who beamed as she cast a smug raised eye brows glance at Dutta, who loosened his lips and turned to face Bradley who sat beside him in the people carrier convoy lorry. Bradley, curled the corner of his mouth and stirred, "tell me Dutta what did you think of this surprise element of landing you in it by Ramsey?" Dutta , spread his legs a bit and felt his finger tips before him , replied," not, taken aback at all, Bradley, for me and so it should be for any way who serves in the forces, a normal custom and practice of following orders, so if Ramsey says so I perform my duty" complied Dutta, Bradley, nodded, "yes, sure Dutta, that is the main requirement follow commands, he agreed, Dutta shifted his head towards him, "now what is this Major do I detect an under current here? do you dare to say you sometimes want to defy orders ,hummh? Dutta asked as he tapped Bradley with his shoulder. Bradley, with a sided glance , replied in mock defiance, "by Jove! Dutta, sometimes I damn well do ,especially when I am in bed with a mention not, and I get paged to report for call out duty!" he juggled his head like a puppet and Dutta, too looked into Bradley's eyes and replied with a straight face, "you don't say Bradley, why a married man ,daddy and all I am shocked!" said Dutta as he held his hand against his heart like a drag! and both men laughed. Although Dutta's laugh feel short as he recalled Baji many times when he spoke to Bradley. He couldn't help but think of it as Naku's Bappa's doing that during his home away venture, he has been graced with a Baji prototype to ease off his temporary parting from his court jester Baji. On a serious note he reverted back to Bradley and commented, with a subtle wink "now look here Bradley, as a soldier from the Indian army, may I remind you good Sir that it's not only about taking orders, it's equally about giving orders and supporting subordinates to perform as well you do for your seniors!",Bradley , nodded, "you are so right mate,..and then after a pause he continued, "Dutta , what would you do if Ramsey offered you a job here, may be as a tutor, would you take it?"Dutta looked at him sideways with narrowed lion like eyes and replied, "negative Bradley, I have to return to India." he confirmed distantly. As far as he was concerned ,Dutta was pleased within ,that he too unknowingly made known upon himself what he desired ,he smiled as he felt his indented stubble chin, now that didn't come as a surprise.

Once the rifle range arrived, officers disembarked and stood to attention with slightly parted legs and arms straight, by their sides.Accompanying NCO's mounted and set up the exemplary rifles to be used for the task. Dutta, stood before the officers and smiled ,"at ease gentleman and this morning myself and Major Ashworth would be taking you through the issues surrounding lethality, that which as you all know means capable of causing death, fatal outcomes, now here today ,we have this rifle that Major Ashworth holds before you, unique as it comes as you may see if you observe care fully fitted with an enhanced sighting system on the weapon or linked to a helmet-mounted sight, as you can observe Now to my knowledge as briefed by the weaponry department, most lethality capability is mainly through improved sighting in these weapons. When you handle them , you will note that the sighting systems actually saves weight and logistic requirements", he paused ,briefly as officers came forward and handled the rifles too study features, and then in his strong guttural voice he continued." You can see officers that the soldiers helmet that Major Ashworth now holds up before you is fitted with an enhanced sighting system on the weapon and also linked to the soldier's helmet mounted sight. Now, officers, this very linked sighting system allows the soldier to fire round corners at the target while remaining in a protected position", explained Dutta, while officers took their time to study, instruction manuals of the weapons.Whilst this happened, Dutta sauntered over to Jane and ordered her to give a demonstration round. Jane seized the opportunity to further impress this tough nut of a man ,this time professionally. Dutta watched as she lowered her tall body into one of the simulated trenches, and with immense clout she looked up at the officers around her, and briefed." ok now to engage in targets that are hidden from one's eye i.e in trenches ,or even in shelters, what I will need to do is measure the range of the target, eg, there is a hidden red flag in the 100 yard trench ahead with this laser range finder. The range data, as you can see if you crouch closely is then downloaded to this weapon's round and please note too , that the overflying weapon round too ,detonates at the designated range to strike at that hidden red flag target" she demonstrated and finally climbed out of the trench, allowing other officers also to have a first hand experience.

Since this was an opportune moment on field, Dutta once again reiterated the importance of earmarked clothing for such tasks. He did commented, "ok if you now focus on the clothing, which you can see clearly, that this type of clothing reduces the soldier's visual, radar and infrared signatures as well as provides him/her personal temperature control and environmental protection. Now, another word officers, is that as you can feel, this clothing may have built in wires or a type of wireless technology such as Bluetooth to interconnect you with other strategic components of front line combat", he explained. He knew that regarding body armour there may be some questions asked so he raised his eyebrows and pulled his mouth to one side, with a forward jut of his broad head, yes sure enough, he got one question,"Sir! can we then say that this one body armour will be worn during all operations?", he raised his head and looked at the officer, with his answer," no officers the grades of body armour protection are selected ,on the basis of varied operational functions, for example if we focus on head gear alone, this integrated helmet, that Major Ashworth now holds before you, will provide ballistic protection and an interface to other elements of the battlefield network, while this one that I hold in my hand ,is the more advanced helmet-mounted display which can show when in battlefield situation, with wearer's position, positions of friendly and hostile troops and equipment and prioritised targets, as well as the downloaded imagery from his weapon sight", Dutta clarified. The session for now had come to an end and General Ramsey as the senior most ,officer, wound up the session, "right ,officers that'll be all for today, may I say a big thank you to the visiting Major Dutta for accepting to deliver this session alongside Major Ashworth, now we will be heading back straight away! and tomorrow we come to the final section of our course, and also due ,is special courtesy.. a trip to London's key sights have been arranged for you as a final end of the course." and with that announcement many an eye beamed with excitement , as chattering they climbed back into their trucks and headed back to the manor. Jane kept giving him the come hither look which he despised to no end , had it not been for Bradley he would have wrung her neck out of joint! She irritated him with her bold, ways and her puffing habit which he was forced to inhale whenever she was about, Bradley ,whispered "so Dutta you lucky on of a gun you get to visit London, I tell you this is a one off , for I cannot recall a generous gesture come by like so ,me thinks it's the mighty lion like you that has made them lot come up with such an idea!", Bradley prattled on ,and Dutta, blushed and replied," I don't think it's me Bradley, why I haven't once growled or roared, in fact I think I have been a through gentleman," but before he got to finish Bradley jested ,"sure Dutta, you have been a hypo darted lion so far , but still a lion, by your looks and mannerisms and that's probably what makes all the lionesses come looking for you, to preen their hides, so may be one of these days you can show them some savagery if not your roar", and he threw back his head and cackled ,and Dutta , raised his arm and pulled back his elbow his hand tight fisted aimed at Bradley ,with a "teri tu main!" and he suddenly stopped short as he realized where he was and with who , but Bradley leaned sideways and said "repeat that again Dutta "myin .terry", and Dutta raised his palm, as he indicated let it be , but Bradley begged, "oh come on Dutta that much I know it was a cuss word, the way you said it! I know terry maa' and terry bhaaa ,Baji taught me" and Dutta glared at him sideways and growled "Bradley in the name of your queen give it a rest please! and that Baji is another mad hatter, foul mouthed, thoughtless dweeb that prowls this good earth ! ummh but ummh is much loved by me " he confessed as his voice faltered..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naku came dressed in a French chiffon, mustard sari and a contrasting scarlet red silk blouse. All eyes at the dining table rolled towards her and she in normal fairly high spirits, attempted to bend and feel AS's feet , but was stopped in her efforts,"nehin ab apna kahyal rekh tu, waise meri beta humari sab ke dauan tera saath hain ,"she said affectionately. Naku as per normal , smiled her shy smile and made way to the kitchen, to take on the on the usual much loved chore of serving her loved ones at the dining table. Baji and Roops got up and followed her and carried poha and puris. Roops put her arm around Naku's shoulder and literally forced her to sit down and before Naku knew it, both Baji and Roops began serving Naku and AS, first and then the rest of the family. Naku covered both her soft cheeks with her small fair hands and wide eyed started at AS, in complete astonishment. AS nodded in approval, "haan Naku kam kerna de ab un dono ko bhi , sarre din, koi kam dhunda nehi kerta bas , sawai ek dossera se larne jagarne ke, tu koi kam tu mil ke karien" , Baji as he served poha , stopped and turned to his mother,"nehi AS hum jhagra tu isliye karte hai take apus mein humara pyar barhe,"he nodded with a dimple smile. Roops rested the pura dish on the table and protested,"waise ap sab ko tu nazar ata he hoga ke Baji hamesha start karta hai, apne dada giri dekh kar , magaar AS ap ko bhi ye pata hai main bhi Dutta Baho ke sab se chotti , aur sab se laadli behan hoon,!" she declared and Baji chipped in "aur sab se akal ke mooti , aur zabaan ke khotte behan bhi hai!",and he sniggered even louder when , Roops moaned , "vahini ! instead of Bhao!"and Naku's eyes suddenly clouded and she shook her head weakly and informed "tum dono please chup ho jao meri tabeeyat kharab ho rehe hai tumhari batien sun ker,"they both ended their quarrel immediately and Baji pulled his ear lobes, with"bas Naku, tu chinta maat ker, main ab is madam ke mau nehi lagoon ga" and Roops guaranteed too,"me to Naku will be nice to Baji, even though it's the hardest thing for me on earth, but for you vahini anything! she smiled as she screwed her nose at Baji, who gave her a devilish grin, and she blushed in embarrassment. Naku caught the subtle look of fondness that the two had for each other ,and her mouth curled in a smile , she thought from now on to end any dissention in the house should would use her cue "meri tabiyeet kharab hai!," she almost giggled and AS, gazed with deep fondness towards Naku's face ,there was no doubt there was an angelic glow on her face, in spite of the fact that, hide as Naku may do AS knew her Baho, was having bouts of morning sickness. Over come with sentiments she stood up and came towards Naku and reached out for her soft palm and slid a chunky gold signet ring with the carving of Ganpati on her middle finger, "ye le Naku, Bappa teri rakhsha kare her samae", and with that she blessed the top of Naku's head and Kala and Leela too came and gave her a hug . Kishore walked up to her and blessed her on the head with the words,"kush reho Naku, bahut kushi de hai tune," but he stopped as he walked away laden with the thoughts that the father does not know and Kishore felt not quite right with this knowledge , but for the moment, he decided he would refrain from questioning the issue ,but if the need arose then he would not hesitate to voice his opinions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naku felt blessed enough that , one she was well enough to resume her duties and two ,she was not considered ill by her Saabs sisters and mother, her condition would be taken in a stride ,as she believed it should be. Although she had moments of giddiness, she dabbed her forehead with a tissue, as she was en route to the Rehab centre with Baji. Baji noticed she seemed slightly fraught, and indicated left and veered off and parked briefly at a safe spot. He turned, towards her and asked caringly,"Naku, you ok? main jeep tayez tu nehi chal rahe ? tell me if I am swerving at the turns?", he asked apologetically. Naku, shook her head, "nope I am fine Baji you carry on driving".Baji resumed driving and finally said what he had waited to say,"dekh Naku, I have to talk to you , now you know me, if something bothers me , I don't, allow it to fester tera Saab ke theran ! I come out with it before it kills me!" ,he rattled. Naku raised her hand in protest at her man's name mentioned in vain ,but Baji moved his face to the road and continued, "tell me Naku tune mujhe bhai mana haina ? tu ek bahen hone ka nata se mujhe, apne bhai ko ye bata ke tune apni pati se itne bare baat kyon chupai hai? there was a moments silence as Baji's eyes welled up as he waited for an answer.. he didn't know from whom , his sister.. or his beloved Bhao's wife .. she finally replied,"Baji thujhe pata hona chahiya ke aagar main ne Saab ko baache ke bare mein bataya tu who forun kamchoor kar he ahjayen gaye ,and that I would not want , and I daresay you wouldn't want that either? thujhe pata haina, Saab ke liye unka kam kitna important hai," she justified ,Baji turned his face and looked out of the drivers window,"mujhe tu ye pata hai ke Bhao ko dhokabaaz ,jhotte aur farabi logon se kitne nafrat hai, you need to think about it Naku, I leave it to you to decide if you wish to reverse your decision, remember it also shows how you judge him, you reckon, he'll drop everything in UK and head back immediately, have you taken into account that he might not behave like you envisage, he may take it in a stride, and be sensible about it, and that's not all ye soocha hai tune if he finds out that you have be chatting him up and in all this time you never told him that Baji is going to become mamma je , tu tera woh band baje de ga Naku! .. so phir maat bolona Baji mujhe bachao ! because I'll tell Bhao straight that I told you to do so but you wanted to pass judgements on him, ummh chal get off now out of the jeep carefully and in your coffee break do give wise Baji ke baaton pe some thought!" he waved ,as he tarried a while to see her go in.. While driving back, he concluded that he might have been a bit nasty to her, like abrupt, but it was her closeness to him that made him open up before her, like saying things to her as they were! he justified , and after a pause, he owned up to himself, that when it comes to Dutta, Baji can only see to his Bhao's emotional well being, after all they practically are joined to hip! hummh Baaji thought he has dealt with one , now next to deal with the light of his life..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After, the noon tea, Dutta was called in for a debrief in the general's imposing grand office. As he anticipated it was a typically Victorian style room sobered down, with chunky solid wood carved large pieces of furniture. Upon entry Dutta saluted as per protocol, and was invited to sit down . In true British style, a cup of tea was yet again the order of the day, that was made by the general's smartly dressed secretary, and served in a delicate bone china tea service. General, sipped his tea at his wide wooden framed and leather inlay desk. He looked at Dutta sitting stiffly across him in a chair, and began "I formally wished to let you know Dutta that you did an admirable job today in continuing the field work on lethality, I was part of the audience and found you to be pretty knowledge in the area."Dutta, although firm faced,suspected more was to come, he was without wishing to be arrogant quite accustomed to being complimented about his lectures, that was the reason he was sent to the UK, he recalled. Ramsey flattened his palms on the desk and continued,"now Major looking at your many strengths, of which the biggest one that we can see here, is that you are a senior officer belonging to an ethnic group and therefore your inclusion in the British army, with regards to quantifying the status of the Ethnic Minorities in key positions, would be very conducive to our recruitment policy", he paused briefly to gauge Dutta's reaction which was none at the moment, so Ramsey continued, "in other words Major Dutta , the army here would like to offer you a two year contractual job, as a full time war studies instructor in one of the British Military schools, and before you go and query the snags round this issue with regards to your army ,I have had a word with my counterpart ,at your end and am ,notified that sabbatical can be further put in place , but emphasized that the decision lay entirely in your hands.. so Dutta I'll leave you to ponder over the matter, while I make a quick call in the adjoining room, and with that the general vacated.This is what Dutta liked about the Brits, broach the subject not impose!

He returned shortly, Dutta on the other hand required not a great deal of thinking as more or less his mind was set. He stood up on his feet, tall, smart and stiff, his hands clasped behind his broad back. Ramsey studied him, but nothing could be left to chance so he goaded Dutta for a decision, "well what is going to be then?. Dutta with pride, self respect and humility, blinked his eyes for a second and then proceeded, "general Sir !first of all on behalf not of just myself but my army as well I offer you thanks for lauding my efforts ,I am greatly humbled that you have given me further opportunity to extend my stay in UK, plus a job to serve your army ,no doubt to promote good relations amongst both the majority and minority groups with a view of using my positive image, to attract more people from the ethnic groups to apply for jobs in the army" Dutta explained, and Ramsey nodded with respect."However,"Dutta resumed and this time stated his decision, "I thank you for the offer Sir! but I am afraid I have to decline the proposition, due to several reasons but the vital one is that my staying here and serving you is conducive for your people, but my inability to return to my own army, sets my own people at a disadvantage, Sir the brief I gathered was, that I would experience this course and then return to cascade information to my troops. Sir, now two years is rather a long time to wait to disseminate what I have learnt now, as things are constantly changing, and this may also be true too, that what I know now may well be out dated, yet what I have learnt about weaponry and body armour ,especially now with the clothing order being shipped off, goods will be lying around unused. Now that Sir! would be a shame as many of my country's infantry soldiers will in the meanwhile, sustain injuries which can be prevented in the first place by the use of protective clothing for which so much money has been spent!..and my job Sir! would be to put to use this new resource into practice as soon as possible, so you see Sir! this for me is the big reason why I have to go back.There is of course another reason which is my own family commitments, my mother is a widow and has failing health, she is very supportive of my job as is the rest of my family, but to be very frank , I would prefer to be in closer proximity to my mother," and his voice faltered just a little bit, and Ramsey came closer and shook Dutta's hand, with,"of course I totally understand Major, you have made the right decision and we respect you for it , and let me tell you one thing more Major, had I been in your shoes I probably would have done the same as you!" admitted Ramsey, and both men saluted and Dutta left, mighty proud of his ruling. Ramsey stood alone in his room, deep in thought, nevertheless in awe of this young man's resilient spirit, now this man was different , I mean coming from his part of the world , of what is known, people would give anything to settle in UK, even so for a job, but his man just turned it down ,as it were an option he would never consider! and Ramsey wondered why?...

Baji ran up the stairs towards his mothers' bedroom with Roops hot on his heels till she held his wrist,"oyee Baji what's the hurry, you riding a tornado rok tu ja bata na? she begged as she looked him with her now innocent eyes. He turned and look down at her from the step above her and raised his finger, and said in a lowered tone "dekh Roops abhi tu toprnado nehi aya, sirf kuch tazze hawa chal rehe hai, but my fear is what happens when Bhao comes to know Naku ke halat", Roops opened her mouth wide and bit her finger ,"haan Baji tera tu band baja jaye ga! tu to gaye kam se!" she clapped her hands and he, grabbed her clapping hands and squeezed then hard , "areee mera kya bande baja ga?, if anyone who needs to get his ears boxed woh hai tera bharra! I mean tera Bhao' sab us ke karastani hai!" he went, and then let go of her hands and advised her," Roops kabhi kisi masale ka lotcha bhi samheja jaya kar!, life is not all about fluttering about like a dotty butterfly, jaise tu urthe pherti hai!" he griped , as he abruptly turned from her at the stairs and dragged his soles as he scaled with intent to see AS. Roops saw that her lovable compliable, amenable Baji had his nose out of joint, so she followed his foot steps into AS's room.. She smiled at her children' visitation, "kyon tum dono ne phirse koi jagra kya hai ?"Roops sat beside her mother and put her arm around her shoulder, with a firm shake of her head, to which, AS raised her hands shukar hai Jagdammbe! hum kush hain ye sun ke".. She turned to Baji, "Baji ah ja tu bhi humra pas beitha ja, yehan humara pas , pata hai Baji is jagga Dutta beitha ker tha, phir ahista ahista humre paire dabata tha," she recalled fondly, and Baji smiled as he felt, and pressed her feet,"ho AS ap ka sher beta ne ap ke sawa kerne mujhe se he seekhe hai warana ap tu jante hain, Bhao, ke ulte khoparte hai! logon ke galle zayeeda dabata hai woh!",he hinted with a hysterical cackle. AS raised her palm, "tum dono se main ne phoochna tha ke hum chahte hain ke ek puja rehka jaye, ana wale baache ke liya tu tumhara kya khayal hai kab rekien? "Roops was about to open her mouth but Baji stopped her, so he could speak,"dekho ,AS ,meri mano tu ye pja rehe hain dein ap, isliye ke is puja ka koi matalab nehi bunta' dekho AS devi devta ko kya ap batien ge jab ke ap ne baache ke baap ,jis ka haq banta hai, us tak ko ap ne nehi zikar gaye us ke ne wali aulad ka! dekhein main bahut choota hoon ,meri koi auqaat nehi ap ke samane, magaar mujhe lagta hai ke ye ghalat hai, us Naku se maine bola ,tu woh bole Saab kam choor ke ekdum ah jayea ge! AS, Bhao koi baacha nehi hai, ap ye baat maan lo ,use baacha ap logon ne buniya hai, aur jab bhi mauqa milta hai ap use admi se baacha buna detien hain ab sab! dekho AS, jahan tak main janata hai Bhao kabhi bhi apne duty choor ker nehi ayea ga , jab bhi aya kam khatam kar ke he aye ga",Baji said clearly,without mincing his words. AS ,looked at her younger good son with tears of gratitude to the gods, that even her younger son was now old enough to give her good advice and solutions to avoid pits falls,"nehi Baji hum to kush hain tune apne dil ke awaz humien batie"she approved, but Baji continued ,"lekin AS us se ye baat chupna ka anjam ap janti haina kya hoga?..use lage ga ke us ka family use janata he nehi hai, yehra samjhete hai use..bole ga use dhoka mein rekha,aur agar us ka dhamaak phir gayea tu ye bhi bol sakta hai ke maine ap sab ko choor diya hai, ye sab bardast ker lein ge ap AS?Baji said rather dramatically,as Roops glared at him and he blinked his eyes at her calmly to indicate that he knew what he was doing. He swallowed and then suggested,"AS, main abhi jata hoon, Naku ko le ke ata hoon, ap soocho ke ap Dutta ko kaise batien ge..bare dehan se AS , kyon ke Bhao , ko aise na lage ke hum ne phele he us se ye baat chupai jab us na skype kiya tha.."and with that he left. AS knew Baji was correct in his advise and that she should be the one to break this news to her son..

Baji returned, and as was customary Naku went into see her Saab's mother to check up on her ,but today instead of asking her about how her day went, AS sent her to her room to rest for a bit.. After Naku left, Baji knew what his mother desired, so he dialled Dutta's mobile. Dutta sat in his room engrossed in the process of updating his written notes on daily proceedings of the course, as they happened. His mobile rang and he leapt for it in obvious glee! 4ish pm UK so, ghar se phone! On a high he threw his note pad on the bed and stood up as he also fitted his hands free Bluetooth, his stubble face slanted in a smile, it was clear who it was his dil and jigar! "haan Baji bol sab theekh haina?,"haan Bhao ye le AS, se baat kar", Dutta pulled back his tough neck,"oyee nautanki kyon tu nehi baat kara ga salle! ?kuch garbarr ke hai tune ,bol?"he teased ,and Baji although tried to be serious gave way,"areee Bhao lotcha or garbar tune ke hai , main nehi! aacha ye le Bhao AS se baat ker", and he passed the phone over to his mother. AS , greeted her beloved son,"haan Dutta humara baache tu kaisa hai? bahut yaAd ati hai tere, tera kam kaisa ja raha hai?",Dutta cranked his head to one side and pouted his mouth like a spoilt brat ,his eyes softened at the sound of his mother's voice, and he responded as he gently lay back on his bed propped up by his head board, his long legs resting lengthwise upon the other on his bed, "haan mujhe bhi ap sab ke bahut yaad ati hai AS , kam kafi aacha ja raha hai.." he was tempted to tell his mother about his turning down a job here, but thought it was pointless as it would only hype up her up. After a while he stroked his stubble and his eyes twinkled, and he asked,"woh Naku theekh hi ab AS, bemari ka ghar!" he chuckled, and his mum latched on to his light mood and replied,"nehi Dutta puri theran tu theekh nehi hai par thujhe pata haina aram se nehi beithe hai woh, bas kuch kuch, kerte rethe hai, doctor na bhi bola tha use atiyaat baratna k pun woh" AS tried to address the issue, but Dutta cut her," waise AS mujhe lagata hai ke Naku ke dhamaak mein koi bemarri hai, akal bahut kam hai use ke pas ! pagal aurat hai! , AS doctor ko bole mera se baat kera ! main us ko bole ga is ka admission mental ward mein kare , bewakoof aurat! AS ap na bhi aise bahut sare bhi betiya hai! kal jab main ne skpye kiya tu mera saath bhi bikwas ker rehe the ! maine kitna bar pooche kya hai thujhe? maagar kuch nehe bole boot bun ke mera sama beithe rehe jahil lardki! AS apna doctor change karo!! Dutta bellowed down the phone, and AS held the phone away from her ear ,and Baji covered both his ears and rolled his hand at AS to tell him. AS said "Dutta doctor ne bole hai tu baap bun gayea hai!" she gotit over and done with. Dutta jumped up on his feet and let of a loud kyaaa?!!! and he flopped back on his bed with a thud!, hyperventilating! He performed breathing exercises and AS giggled and said to Baji "ye le phone Baji tu baat kar mujhe lageta hai mera beecha behoosh ho gaye hai.." and Baji took the phone and teased, "areee Patil Vadi ka sher bin ghoont ke he behoosh ho gaye! areee Bhao, congratulations to me! main chachoo, mammoo dono he bun gaye!.. aree Bhao kuch tu bol re? "Baji sniggered. Dutta twisted his lips, and replied, "main ab zarra use phone karoon, Baji I'll speak to you laters" and he disconnected and dialled her number. Naku picked up her mobile and smiled shyly, Saab? and Dutta replied ,"nahin tera doctor bol raha hai, Mrs. Dutta Patil! ma'am I have news for you, you're going to give birth to a lion cub!" Naku giggled, surprised and Baji peeped in her room and whispered,"Bhao knows!" and Dutta heard Baji and bellowed on the phone, "why am I always the last to know! bol Naku! how the hell did this happen?, I have nothing to do with his whole thing! , sab teri harketien hain to tame me!, uppar se jahil aurat! chorri aur sena zaroori mera saath ke hai tuna ! sun rehe hai tu! you manipulating cow! how could you do this to me! itna bara blast de mara tune, pagal aurat! teri tu main! look I have to go !jaane de mujhe I am going to be sick' yelled Dutta and disconnected the phone. Naku burst out crying and ran towards AS's room.

Dutta sat in the local with Bradley, his finger slid on the rim of his whiskey glass. Bradley checked out Dutta sideways, "now tell me Dutta what is this all about? looks like you have seen a ghost! man you had me worried when you called me up suddenly, come now drink your peg , get it down and tell me what's knocked you out"..soothed Bradley and Dutta drank up , and cleared his throat,"ummh it's my family, but I am baffled? shocked how come?," Bradley twisted his bottom on the bar stool and tried to make sense of Dutta's phrases, "family? shocked? how come? and finally shouted as he slapped Dutta on his back" your missus is pregnant! Ohh big daddy you are well done man! so how many weeks is she?"Dutta turned to face him "how the hell should I know? I bloody never asked her, I was in a state of shock, in fact I still am Bradley! look my hands are shaking! how come Bradley? how the blazes did this happen?! Dutta raised his voice and people in the pub looked at him .. Bradley stroked his shoulder and looked at the bartender "another whiskey please without the ice", and once served he pressed it in Dutta's palm "here have another one and calm down mate, I know it's a bit of a shock" Dutta gulped his drink and started again. "I can't understand how come Bradley? beats me!" Bradley shook his head as he looked upon Dutta a bit amused, he leaned forward , "look you must have done? Umm ? you know what I mean mate, for things to get to this stage!" he said with a wink and a cock of his head. Dutta, distastefully glared, at Bradley, with the confession,"look Bradley I don't feel right at all I tell you , my head hurts and I feel sick! I am in shock, I am bloody traumatized! I need to be taken to A&E, need to be looked at! Dutta drawled, and Bradley nodded ,"sure thing Dutta we'll get you to emergencies ,and I suppose you'll tell them, the emergency is that your wife's pregnant!, guffawed Bradley, and Dutta raised his palm ,slanted his head and narrowed his eyes, "don't say that word Bradley! it makes me go all queasy"! Dutta lisped, fairly drunk ,and Bradley helped his colleague to stand up and threw one of Dutta's heavy arm around his shoulders and both men sluggishly moved towards the exit door of the pub to be helped into a taxi that took them to the manor. Bertie stood waiting to help Dutta to his room, he helped him undress and tucked him in bed, much surprised that what could have brought this about.. that the thoroughly cultured Major Dutta had lost his marbles completely...to be continued, Hamlet53~ 2.11.13
