'I told u not to make any mistake!' Shailendra shouted at sakthi …………. 'now we have to let that girl go………. N the evidence too!' he said to Durjjan………….. Durjjan nodded, feeling frustrated as sakthi looked angry…………….. 'sakthi, make arrangements to get that girl to Sharma, now!' Durjjan said to Sakthi, his tone cold…………. Sakthi began to protest , but his voice died down as he watched his father's face livid with anger…………….. he nodded clumsily n went out of the room………….. Durjjan sat , sighing heavily, on the couch next to Shailendra………..' don't worry , we need to think of a plan to get the files …………….. do u have some idea?' Shailendra looked lost , tension gripping him…………….. 'let me think' he muttered , his eyes distant…………..
****************************************
Gayatri paced up n down in her room , in a hospital……………… she was reviewing the events of the night, particularly the way in which Krishna n that girl were fighting ……………….. they seemed too engrossed in each other, there was no other way to put it…………… Krishna definitely has been attracted to that girl………… …………. N it was predominantly lust……… she could see that …… but if that dreamy teenage boy look he sported for some secs was any indication, there is a huge possibility of his lust turning into something dangerous …………….. she need to act quickly, madhuri is useless now………….. she would have to find another one soon………. The girl will be send back to Shailendra tmw morning, thought Gayatri…………… but she had a nagging feeling that she will be seeing that girl very often………………
******************************************************
Krishna got out of the car, slamming the door shut, once they reached the mansion………… A maid servant opened the door n he stormed in , crossing the hall in long strides…………….. Chandu, sighing, invited Pratigya in…………. Pratigya looked around the mansion, her eyes looking at the splendor , but her whole being seemed to concentrate on Krishna , who was climbing up the stairs , his jaw set in fierce anger………….. 'pls sit here, while the maid arranges the guest room' Chandu said hastily as he he made to follow Krishna upstairs, his face concerned…………….. Pratigya smiled a bit, but didn't sit as her clothes were covered in blood…………. Pratap entered , his eyes appraising Pratigya as Chandu was about to climb the stairs…………… Pratap looked at Chandu , his eyes questioning ……………'err…. She is defense minister's daughter………..' said Chandu awkwardly ………… Pratap nodded, his eyes on Pratigya……………. Everybody looked up tensed , as they heard a distant door slamming shut…………. Chandu almost ran upstairs , while Pratap looked curiously in the general direction of Krishna's room……………….
Pratigya didn't know what to do, she just stood there…….. 'did u eat anything beti?' Pratap asked, indicating her to sit……………… 'no….. I …I am not hungry' Pratigya answered politely …………… 'what happened?' Pratap asked, indicating her clothes…… 'oh….a girl……….i mean' she cleared her throat ' ermmm….his mistress got shot, on the way' 'who meera?' Pratap asked , sitting straight …………. 'emm….no madhuri , I think ' Pratigya said awkwardly…………….. 'oh, the new one………!' sighed Pratap , offering water to her…………… Pratigya accepted the glass gratefully, sipping thirstily………'I am sorry , u had to suffer so much' Pratap said apologetically ……….. 'no….its…..its ok sir…..my fath…..' Pratigya grimaced in dislike 'the defense minister did wrong in kidnapping that poor girl' Pratigya said ………. Pratap noticed her tone …………'sorry, I don't know who….' Pratigya began awkwardly ……….'I am his mama' Pratap said pleasantly , indicating to the direction of Krishna's room…………..Pratigya nodded , smiling slightly …. She felt an instant liking for this elderly man……………'If u want anything…..anything at all…..pls feel free to ask' Pratap said , his face n voice , fatherly ……………….. Pratigya looked him in his eyes n requested 'pls…sir….pls could I talk to my mother………….she will be worried sick'…………. Pratap nodded gravely n indicated the landline……………….. Pratigya, blinking back her tears, folded her hands in gratitude n rushed to the phone…………..
*************************************
'Krishna' Chandu called, tapping the door…………… Krishna , his hands clutching the high wooden frame of his king size bed, closed his eyes, trying to rein his pain n anger…………… she needs to pay for the amount of pain she has caused him……….! He vaguely wondered why she was affecting him in all kinds of unwelcome ways……………… who the hell is she , for her words to pierce him like glass splinters ……………..! 'krishna….pls..open the door…………..I want to talk to u……….' Chandu said, feeling concerned…………… She is going to suffer! He had a fair idea what to do……….. he is not going to let her go tmw morning………….let her suffer, not being able to talk , to meet her mother! , thought Krishna savagely as he opened the door………….his face was inscrutable …………. Chandu, smiled , relieved n put his hand on krishna's shoulder , his eyes searching his face…………… Krishna , smiled back 'have bauji slept already………….. ? I was thinking of having dinner with him …..' Chandu began carefully 'already! Its close to midnight now , Krishna! But come on , I am starving………… we can have dinner together…………..' 'Ok , let's go..' Said Krishna walking along side Chandu………… Chandu , gazed at Krishna , worried ……………….
************************************************
Pratigya dialed her home number, waiting with thundering heart ………………as Shailendra was at durjjan's house, it was ramu who picked up the phone……………….. 'Chacha!' Pratigya called in relief………… 'beti, where r u? r u alright?' ramu gushed into the phone…………….. Renuka , who sat at the feet of shive Idol , scampered towards the phone… 'I am fine …. Chacha, how's mother?' Pratigya asked, trying not to cry……………. Renuka snatched the phone from ramu , crying into the phone 'Pratigya!... r u alright?...where r u…..? did u eat anything?...did they hurt u?...what do they want?' …………….' Ma, relax………….' Pratigya smiled through her tears………….'I am fine……………. I am fine………… don't cry, pls……….. did u eat ? I know u haven't…………. pls eat…………. I am really fine here…..I will reach home tmw morning…………' 'That's enough' Krishna whispered coldly in her ear, his right forefinger cutting the phone…………….
Pratigya jumped , startled ………… she was so lost in talking to her mother that she didn't notice Krishna coming near her………….. 'I want to talk to my mother!' she shouted, painful anger filling her, her hands trying to push him away , as she made to dial again……………. 'I said, That's enough' Krishna growled , his hands iron grip on hers n shoving her down on the floor……………. 'Krishna! Stop being childish ……………n mean!' said Pratap , coming forward to help a sobbing Pratigya get up …………… 'u keep out of this!' said Krishna angrily , as Chandu looked apologetic …………Pratap gazed at Krishna , understanding that this is not just mere anger n he is being purposefully mean ………. 'she is just a hostage n has been given more freedom than she deserve…………! Chandu! She is not a guest! Understood?' she will be treated as a hostage………. A mere hostage!... lock her up!... Krishna ordered , his eyes piercing into Pratigya's , relishing her look of hurt n pain……………. Pratigya , tears rolling down her cheeks , glared at him , anger n pain threatening to swallow her …………….. Sumitra, hearing her son's angry voice, laced with underlying pain, came out of her room , n stood behind the curtain , adorning the corridor leading to kitchen……….. she saw a girl , standing next to Pratap n Krishna ordering Chandu to lock the girl up…………………
Chandu , looking imploring, said 'krishna , pls listen…..she didn't mean it when she said…….she don't know……..' 'enough!' Krishna whispered , his voice dangerous n chandu immediately fell silent …………… Pratigya , even in her angry n hurt state of mind noticed this exchange , her mind capturing the fact that his meanness towards her had something to do with what she said to him earlier …… 'didn't u hear? Lock her up!' Krishna said, his voice icy cold…………… Chandu came forward , his arm gripping her hand , apologetically n brotherly n pulled her out of the hall…………. Pratigya , her face turned towards Krishna, their eyes locked all the time , went out of the hall , along another corridor to a small room ……………. 'I will send a maid with ur dinner n fresh clothes……u may take bath if u want to….. take rest' Chandu mumbled to the floor…………. Pratigya , snorted in anger n pain ……………. 'no thanks, he may kill u for making my stay here comfortable……' she said, getting inside the room n closing the door………….. Chandu sighed went to the hall……….
'where is he?' he asked Pratap , who stood by the window……………. 'In the garden………. U know he likes to walk when he is disturbed' Pratap answered , his eyes looking out of the window…………. Chandu, took 2 apples from the dining table n went out , after asking a maid to get dinner n fresh clothes for Pratigya ………………….. Sajjan singh, who watched from upstairs , his eyes following Chandu, sighed n went to his room, disturbed………………. *********************************************************
She hated him! She hated him! ……………she hated him for not letting her to talk to her mother properly……….… Pratigya thought , trying to decipher her feelings n feeling frustrated that she was still not feeling any hatred for the man………….. all she could feel was hurt n pain n anger………………. N a frantic concern for her mother……………. Nothing else…………. She rested her head on her knees n silently cried…………….. trying to make some sense of her feelings……………..her mother would be crying her heart out , she was sure………… but now she will be a bit assured, after hearing her voice………her thoughts drifted to him, again…… she had understood that his meanness towards her had something to do with her talking about his mother……………… did she do something wrong ? did her words trigger something inside him? May be his mother had died in his childhood, may be his ……………..what r u doing Pratigya?! ………….. why r u thinking of him ?!... why r u even bothered about his behavior ?!... she gritted her teeth in frustration….she hated him…..period!
*****************************************************
He hated her!... he hated her guts to talk back to him, hurt him!... now she is paying for it……………… Krishna thought , trying to clear his mind of her tearful face……….. why is he feeling uneasy? He was supposed to feel happiness, seeing her in distress! ………….. he hated her! He hated her for invoking all kinds of weird feelings inside him…………….. Krishna let out a growl of frustration , standing beside a fountain in the garden…………………… he saw Chandu coming towards him n arranged his face to be the usual, cool n carefree ………Chandu was saying something….. he accepted the apple, munching it, his thoughts swirling around the girl…………….. her audacity to talk back to him…….the way she was able to hurt him…….her angry stare ………..her questioning him………….. her reddened cheeks , her sensual lips n neck…………will it turn even redder if he grazed it with his lips?……. He caught himself , furious about his mind, jumping from trying to hate her to trying to kiss her……………… he shook his head, trying to get rid of the image of her flying hair , as he stood n watched the trees swaying in the night wind………he felt a tug at his elbow n turned to find Chandu who affectionately told him to get some sleep………. Krishna nodded, yeah he desperately wanted some sleep…………to get rid of that …that girl from his mind…….. … he didn't realize that he had calmed down when he didn't offer any resistance to her thoughts to invade him, but was feeling fidgety n angry when he tried to resist the thoughts about her………..
