This update is just to show the bonds...I told you two ar three chaps would be like this...'Swweet Nothingsss'
CHAPTER 17:
Rey marched off straight to his friends...luckily Kriya was not there...gang were discussing something but as soon as they saw Rey they stopped...and showed as if they were busy...
Rey : I got something to tell you guys...
Swayam: if it is about Taani then sorry dude...come on guys... Let's leave...
They were about to leave when
Rey: I'm with you...
Everyone were too shocked to believe this
Sharon: pardon?????
Rey: I'm with you guys...I have promised her that i will escape from here in one week...(looking at Swayam)uske liye mujhe tum loggon ka help chaiye...
Swayam hugs him tight
Swayam: thats a great news...(separating himself from him)i'm so happy for you...finally you decided to move on...
One by one they came and congratulated him...Rey was feeling really sad for something he knew but he chose to ignore it...
Rey: jaanese pehale yahan jitna hungama macha sake utna machana padega...she should suffer for everything we are going through...
Vicky:(giving him a side hug)finally guys...our Rey is back...ghar hota tho sabko ek party detha...so once we get out...i will throw a party and(whispering so that only Rey can hear)find you a
girl...
Rey glares at him...Vicky just shrugs and goes...by this time Kriya came from the bathroom...her eyes were red and face was pale...
Vishaka: you ok...
Kriya:(with a throaty voice)Taani gayi kya...
Rey:yep...
Kriya wiped her tears...
Kriya: Swayam...Tannushane phone kiya tha wo ghar pohanch gayi...
Swayam:ok...
Sharon: aaj kuch shor sunaai nahi de raha...bacche kahan gaye...
Kriya: outing keliye...
Talking this and that they whiled away their time...only two hearts were praying for Taani's safety...
Hours later...
Gitu and her gang were sitting in the hall taking a break from their studies...chit chatting...rest of them had not yet reached...Gang were also sitting downstairs, Rey was glancing at the
door frequently sometimes rubbing his palms or pressing his forehead...while Kriya was in the prayer hall...Suddenly they heard a car comming to halt making a hell lot of noise...As expected
it was Taani who came out of the car and shut the door with such a force that shook the car...Taani ran inside and went to the kitchen without giving any attention to those siiting there...
After two minute from kitchen sound of water jug breaking from which Taani was drinking water...
Abarna: chal beta nikalte hain...lagta hain mumma bohot gusse mein hain...chal na...
But it was too late...
Taani: TUM SAB YAHAN BETE HO???KAL EXAMS HAIN NA...THO PHIR YAHAN KYA KAR RAHE HO...DON'T YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO STUDY...
It was first time that the Gang saw Taani fumming,sorry burning in anger...Her cloths were bit torned here ad there...scratches were there,hair was dishevealed...
Rishu: wo...wo...
Taani: kya wo..wo..
Gitu: hum bas tode der relax kar rahe the...
Taani: exams ke baad relax nahi kar sakthi...books kabhi hath nahi lete..dance wance keh kar sara shehar ghoomthe rahte ho...dekna mein kissi ko jyada paisa de kar admission nahi karoongi ...
Merit par admission nahi milla tho...yahan paas hi ek tutorial hain...wahan bhej doongi...and bla bla bla...
Taani taking out all her frustration on the children...Hearing Taani scolding children, gang were little scared...Kriya came from prayer hall to see Taani telling off children...
They all were looking down...
Kriya: bas bhi kar Taani...
Taani:tu hi in sab ko bigad rahi hain...
Rishu started sobbing...
Taani: ro kyun raha hain,,,,MENE KUCH KAHA KYA RONE KELIYE...HUH...
Kriya: TU KAMRE MEIN JAA TAANI...
Taani: par...
Kriya: KAMARE MEIN JAA...bina baath ke bacchon ko rulathi hain...aaja Rishu ider aa...
Rishu went to Kriya and kneeled down beside her chair...
Kriya:(wiping his tears)acche bachhe rote nahi...TU ABHI TAK YAHIN KHADI HAIN...MISS TANSIA I SAID GO TO YOUR ROOM...
For the first time Gang saws Taani this angry and Kriya shouting at her...Taani's face fell and almost in a lightening speed she ran the stairs and closed her room with a big thud...
Kriya: tujhe tho oscar milna chahiye(Rishu grinned at her)badmaash...achha sun tum sab bahar jaao...
Gitu: mumma...
Kriya: ek ghante mein,sab kuch shant ho jaayega...aur haan,,kuch bhi ho jaaye,andhar mat aana...
Abarna: lekin mummyaunty...
Kriya: please...
Mithoon: ok...hum chalte hain...
They took their notes and texts and went outside...as soon as they left the room,they heard lot of noise comming from upstairs...
Kriya: taani...
She quickly wheeled to wooden plank to go up and while gang except Rey for her sake followed her...As they were approaching Taani's room the noise was becomming louder...
it was as if some war was going on inside...By that time Kriya too came and started knocking the door...
Kriya: taani...darwazza khol...Taani...taniii...
But the door remained closed...
Kriya:(looking around)aap log ese kyun khade hain...darwazza thodo...
Rey,Bharath and Swayam took a few steps back and holding each others hands they forced the door open...They were shocked to see the condition of the room...the bed was broken...cushions were
torn...mirror was broken...the window panes were hanging...on top of that Taani was banging herself against the wall...
Rey ran towards her and pulled her away...but he was not able to hold her...she bited him,scratched him...was trying to escape from his clutches...she wanted to hurt herself...punish herself
for todays mistake...what all she did for this day...everything was in vain...this thought itself was killing her from inside...
Taani:(pushing Rey)chodo mujhe...
Rey: Taaniii...calm down...CALM DOWN FOR GODSAKE...
Seeing that Rey alone can't do it,Swayam came forward and held Taani along with Rey...
Taani:(stamping them)mene kaha chodo...CHODOOO...
Situation was getting out of control with every mintute Taani seemed unstoppable...It was just then Sharon held Taani's face and gave her a tight slap on her right cheek and
then on left...Rey felt Taani relaxing...Rey motioned Swayam to loosen his grip...Taani slowly slid down her hair became really messy...tears brimming...she was mummbling something...
Kriya got up from the wheelchair but stumbled and fell down...with her hands she slithers on the floor and reaches Taani who just staring at the floor and mummbling...Kriya smoothed her hairs and
removes the hair comming on her face and put it behind the ears...Taani's cheeks had marks of Sharon's fingers...her lips were bleeding...scars were here and there on her face...
but it didn't seem to bother her... from her eyes it was sure that she maybe sitting here but her mind was wandering somewhere else...
Kriya: (calling her softly)anniii...
Taani looked at her with blank eyes...
Kriya: its ok...
Taani pouted and slowly started sobbing and hid her face on her lap and started crying...Kriya patted her on her hair,and looked at them...Gang understood and went out...
Vishaka: nice slap,Sharon
Saying this she hi-fived Neha...
Neha: mujhe keh de thi...
Vicky: congarts Sharon...
Sharon: come on guys...i did to calm her down...she was in a shock and she could have hurted herself...
Nil: phir bhi...good one...chal...
After an Hour...
Everyone came and had their dinner...Only Taani was missing...
Mithoon: mummyaunty...maa abhi bhi humse naraz hain...
Kriya: nahi...tired hain iss liye...
Taani:(while descending the stairs)haan...bohot naraz hoon...
Tulsi went to her and held her ears...
Tulsi: sorry maa...please maaf kar do...
Taani:(removed her hands from ears and kissed her on her forehead)mein naraz hoon...khud par...mene tum sab ko daata...mumma sorry...
Rishu: maafi keliye aap ko kuch karna padeega motarma...
Taani and Tulsi went to them and sat down...
Taani: kya...
Rishu: aapko hamare saath time spend karna hoga...
Taran: haan mom...aap ek saal tak ek ya do din keliye aaye thi...aane ke baad bhi aapko time nahi hain hamare liye...dekhna iske baad hum aapko kahi nahi jaane denge...
Jo: mom...please kya hum saare raat baathe kare ...
Taani: haan,haan kyun nahi...kal inka exams hain...exam hall jaa kar so lena...
John: maaa...ok ek ghante keliye...
Kriya: Taani please...
Taani gave her an exasperated look...Ritu came and sat on her lap...all these while Rey was just looking at Taani...seeing her happy, he felt contended...he did feel a stab on his heart
seeing the marks on her face...with her hair she was trying to hide it...and she was quite successfull too...now there were just few scars here and there on her face...Ritu lifted her hand
and touched her lips...
Ritu: yeh kya hai...
Taani:(touching her lips)yeh...mumma ghir gayi...is liye...achha mujhe yeh batao kaisa tha tumhara school iss year...
Then started the chitter chatter...mom i did this,maa mene esa kiya,mujhe vo mila,mujhe naya dost mila,class ka ek bachha esa kiya,teacherne daata...soon the room filled with laughter and
jokes ,sweet quarrels,Taani's shushing,consolings...
Kriya: taani,bachhon ne na aniversay pe action song bhi perfrom kiya tha...tumhe dekhna chahiye tha...bohot mazza aaya tha uss din...
Ripu: haan mumma...aur aapko bohooot miss kiya(widening his hands to show it)
Taani:(her eyes moistens)mene bhi...
Kriya: yeh maa bete bhi naa...
John: Mummyaunty...ek baath bhool gaye hum...
Jo: kya...
Ishaan: arre...hamari behen ki shaadddiii
Taani: shaadi????
Kriya: haan...taani...tujhe pata hain humari Myra keliye rishta aaya tha...
Taani and gang together shouted 'what'...Myra was studying in 3rd standard...
Taani looked for Myra while Myra ran to Kriya, climbed and sat on Kriya's lap covering her mouth...
Myra: Kriya aunnttty...aap mummma ko nahi batayenge yeh promish kiya tha na...agar aap maa ko batayenge tho mein aapse bhaat nahi karoongi...khatti...
Taani:aarre koi mujhe batayega...kya hua...
Jo: mom..its actually a stupid tale...
Tulsi: koi stupid vupid nahi...
Gitu: baath yeh hain...Myra ki class ka ek ladka...kya naam tha..
Rohan: Sreejith...usne Myra se poocha kya wo usse shaadi karegi...
Taani was trying hard to control her laughter...pursing her lips and with eyes widened she heard the story...
Vishal: kya hain naa uska mama,chacha...i don't whose...
Pari: mama ka...
Vishal: yaa...that guys marriage or something...uske baath use bhi shaadi karne ka shook chad gaya...
Vivek: Myra class ki sabse cute girl thi tho usne uska haath manga...
Gang and Taani laughed hard while Myra pouted and slid down...looked at everyone laughing and gave Kriya a angry look...
Myra: Myra kissise baath nahi karegi...Myra jaa rahi hoon...ghar chod kar...
She left everyone...stamping her small feet all the way showing her anger...and went to other room and hid behind the door...
Rajesh: sreejith ke ghar jaa rahi hain kya...
He said hi-fiving Roshan...
Taani glared at them...Rey was keen to know what Taani would do now to manofy Myra who,he was sure that,won't give up easily...
Taani kept Ritu down and stood up
Taani: arre meri Myra kahan chali gayi...
Vicky: lo shuru ho gayi nautanki...
Taani: agar meri Myra yahan nahi rahegi tho...tho mein bhi iss ghar chod kar jaa rahi hoon...mein na kapade nikal kar chali jaaongi...
While all the children were sniggering and stiffling their laughter by covering their mouth...
Taani: tum sab ne meri bacchi ka mazak uttaya na...yeh lo...(she clapped her hands and Rohan faked a cry)yeh bhi lo(she again clapped her hand...)...MEIN JA rhai hoonnn...meri bacchi iss ghar
nahi rehana chahthi tho mein bhi nahi rahoongi...
Taani went to the room and switched the light...everyone turned their head to see what was going on...even gang were curious to know what Taani was going to do...
Taani opened the almarah...
Taani: MEIN JAA RAHI HOON...agar meri bacchi vapas aayegi tho hi rukhoongi...mere kapade...shaya uss room mein hoge
Myra felt that Taani was actually going...How can she let that happen, she got her mom just few days ago...she made up her mind and cleared her throat 'hmmhmmm'...
Taani:(smiling at Kria and winking at the children)arre yeh tho meri Myra ki awazz hain...
Myra again cleared her throat..this time bit loudly'HMMHMMM'...Taani too thought of ending the game...she turned around and saw Myra standing at the door..catching her frills...
bitting her lower lips and looked at Taani without raising her head...
Taani ran towards her and lifted her...
Taani: hayyy...mera bachha yahan tha...maaa tho ghar chod kar jaane wali thi...
Taani twirled around with Myra and kissed her on her both cheeks...soon all chotoos went running to be lifted by Taani...Unknowingly a smile crept Rey's lips seeing Taani's smile...
even if they where against each other, still his heart felt something-something seeing Taani's smile...And then one by one everyone left to catch sleep...
Next Day:
Rey and Amar woke up early as wanted to examine the whole house...and morning was the best time because in between the morning chaos no one will notice them...They went out to see Children
doing their daily cleaning and tidying along with dancing and singing...Rey really liked it...Rey's eyes searched for Taani...it took a while for him to spot her...She was standing at the
doorway...It was evident that she was tensed but for what...Rey decided watch her and stood there...Mithoon,Gitu,Tulsi,Rahul and group came...
Taani: hall ticket le liya...pencil,pen,everything hain paas...do pens hain na...
Children:(exchanging looks)yes maaa...
Taani: okay...kal jo bhi mein ne kaha...i'm sorry...mujhe wesa nahi kehna chaiye tha...lekin...
Gitu: its okay maaa...
Taani: tho phir exam achhe se likhna...last exam hain is liye don't take it easy,Rishu...give your best...(taking money from purse)exam ke baad...ok...
Taani kissed them and wished them all the best...Hearing noise from upstairs she glance up up to see Rey their...she smiled a bit but he turned his face other way and went...
