As they sat together eating breakfast, DS asked J to join them and she did gladly. She adjusted her short dress and sat at the edge of the seat while DS eyed her with scrutiny. 'Udayveer thinks he can dodge the wedding issue by showing me this specimen of a match...but son I'm much clever than you..' thought DS.
J could notice DS watching her by the sidelines and she was getting uncomfortable by the second. Udayveer was lost in his thoughts. At last they were done and DS invited J to her office for a private talk.
J raised her head and had a look at the interiors of the house. She imagined how she would look while holding various parties in this house, after marriage. All her friends would go green with envy seeing that she got a prized catch for a husband. Wow! The thought itself was so good.
"aapko Chicken Tandoori banana aata hai?" DS's voice made her jump suddenly.
"K-kya?" she asked.
"Humne poocha aap ko Chicken tandoori banana aata hai na? Uday ki favorite hai" DS beamed.
"What are you saying? Aur main yeh sab kyon banaungi?" J was confused.
"Jab shaadi ke baad Udayveer tumse kahega ki mujhe yeh dish banake khilao, tab kya karogi?" DS asked.
"You must be joking'itne saare servants ke hote hue Udayveer mujhe khana banana ke liye kahega? No ways'tell me you are joking" J laughed.
"No..ofcourse im not joking.." DS's face looked grave.
Frown lines appeared on J's forehead. She was looking like a fish out of water. 'let me narrate you all the details girl..See how you run away from my Uday's life' thought DS.
"beti, humara yakeen karo, Uday sirf dikhave ke liye modern hai..shaadi ke baad tumhe ghar me saari pehenni padegi, 9 inch ka ghoonghat daal kar rehna hoga, roz uske liye apne haath se rotiyan sekhni hogi..gobar ke kande banane honge chulhe ke liye"
"eww..gobar..i hate it" J interjected. DS ignored her and continued "aur tumne yeh jo pehna hai na 'she pointed to her eyebrow ring- yeh sab uthaarna hoga, subah 5 baje uthkar tulsi mayya ki pooja karni hogi-"
"Bas keejiye..yeh ghar hai ki koi jail?" wailed J.
"pehle poori baatein toh sunlo, ab tumhe humare ghar ki bahu banna hai toh humari tarah rehna padega" DS said slyly.
"aaj ka zamana toh itna modern hai..phir bhi aap log aise rehte ho..Uday toh outlook me kitna modern hai" J made a last attempt.
"aur suno..shaadi ke baad tum Uday se pehle khana nahi kha sakti..har guruvar(Thursday) tumhe uske liye nirjal vrit rakhna hoga-"
"main chalti hoon..mujhe der ho rahi hai" J said suddenly looking at her watch.
With great difficulty DS suppressed her laughter and ran behind J asking her to stay back. "Jainandini..abhi humari baat poori nahi hui..wapas aayiye" she called but J was already in the car driving out as fast as she could.
Udayveer saw the commotion and came to investigate. "DS..J aise achanak chali gayi? Kya hua?" he asked.
"beta..hum aapko kaise batayein" DS wiped a non-existent tear from her left eye.
"DS..did J misbehave with you?" Uday was furious.
"Nahi beta..unki kuch conditions thi jinhe hum poora nahi kar paate..phir bhi aapki khushi ke liye hum maan gaye the parantu(but)"
"Parantu kya DS? Kaisi conditions? Udayveer wanted to know.
DS launched into full details. "Woh kehrahi thi ki yeh shaadi tabhi hogi jab yeh Ghar unke naam par transfer kiya jaaye..phir shaadi ke baad hum yaani aapki DS is ghar se chali jaaye..hum aapki khushi ke liye yeh sab karne ko tayyar hain beta" she made a dear face.
Udayveer could be a brat, a ruthless person to the outer world but he was still a little innocent boy in front of his grandmother. "DS, hum J ke baare me serious nahi the..hum toh sirf yeh shaadivala topic band karana chahte the" he admitted.
"theek hai beta..aap ka jab mann karega shaadi ke liye tab hume batayiye..tab tak hum aapko shaadi ke liye majboor nahi karenge, bhool jaayiye J ko" DS agreed.
Throughout the day one face kept on appearing and reappearing in Uday's mind and he knew how he could find her.
************************
That evening Kabir waited for Manyata in the play ground near to their college. His precious bike stood next to him. Some people were playing cricket at the other end of the ground and in a normal situation Kabir would have gone closer for a look, but now he was getting impatient as Manu hadn't returned.
Then he saw her, running towards him in a hurry. Poor girl, the English lecturer must have taken an extra class.. thought Kabir. There was sudden sound of glass shattering and when he turned he saw that the left side mirror of the bike had been broken by their ball. Before Kabir could do anything about it, Manyata rushed forward and picked the ball, clearly understanding what had just taken place.
In the blink of an eye she had reached where the boys were waiting and began her tirade. "tum logon ke iss bekaar ke khel ne mere dost ka mirror tod diya..ab koun theek karvayega use..ab main yeh ball seedha police ke hawale karungi"
"aap ke dost ki gaadi theek karvaane ke liye main tayyar hoon..bas ek choti si shart hai" wasn't he the same guy who was with the arrogant woman who had tried to run over her Kuvar Arjun singh?
"kaisi shart?" Manyata was curious.
"aap ko mere saath kahin bahar chalna hoga..mere saath time spend karna hoga" Udayveer let out an evil smile.
"maaf keejiye..main yeh nahi kar sakti..main toh aap ko jaanti tak nahi" she said.
"tum humare saath ek raat bitao..phir sab jaan jaogi" Uday's wicked desire crept in. a resounding slap rocked his face and Manyata threw the ball down. She turned and left in disgust at what he had said. Kabir was too far from them to notice all this.
She couldn't bear to remain there a moment longer but she had to, because of Kabir. He was so enthusiastic about teaching her to ride a bike. Kuvar Arjun singh, whom they had tied up to a nearby tree, began mewing and Manyata freed him. at the moment her mind was full of hatred for all the men in particular. But there was a man who would never cheat her, her true prince charming 'Kuvar Arjun singh' she hugged him to herself like a new born baby.
Udayveer hadn't minded in the least bit when Manyata had slapped him. It made him only crave more for her. But one thing was bothering him. Who was the guy who followed her day and night? Was he her boy friend or something? He would find out.
Kabir started the riding lesson and seated Manyata in the front while he sat on the pillion and guided her. Arjun singh was kept busy with a woollen ball that had been especially brought for the purpose. Manyata made a wrong move and Kabir held her hand from behind to control the bike. Udayveer had forgotten the game and was watching them curiously. Surely if she could let that guy come so closer to her, she could go to other guys as well. He could imagine himself with her in his room enjoying a quickie.
They rode across the ground and Uday watched their every move till his neck strained. Then in a matter of seconds everything changed; Kuvar Arjun singh had strayed out of the ground and was fastly moving towards a dog sleeping there. Manyata noticed it too late. She panicked and let go the handle of the bike throwing both Kabir and herself on the ground.
"Arjun!!" she let out a cry. Udayveer unaware of her affection for the feline deduced that the man who fell must be Arjun.
Manu stood up ignoring the pain in her ankle and ran towards the naughty 'Arjun' and tweaked his ears playfully while he purred. "agar tumhe kutte itne achche lagte hai na toh main tumhari shaadi kisi kutte se karvaati hoon..phir dono baithkar bow bow- meow meow karna saath me" she cuddled him. Udayveer wished he was born with four legs and a tail.
Precap
"main mar jaoongi lekin tum jo chahte ho woh kabhi nahi hoga..tumne mere saath zabardasti ki toh main apni jaan de doongi..mere paas mat aana" she threatened him. The chit of a girl dares to threaten him! Prince Udayveer singh.
She needs to be taught a lesson and he would teach her one soon. He resolved in his mind.
