chapter---4
the party was a really grand one,no doubt.. there were all kinds of entertainment provided for the guests..there were drinks,food,games,gambles,sizzling grls,hot guys,evrythng wich one cn desire... the hosts had taken a great care in making all the arrangements perfect so that noone cud get bored..and none did...except for one---pratigya...
she did nvr like these kind of professional parties,in fact she hated them...bt still she came..she came for nitin,her boyfrnd...the love of her life... nitin had called her up that evening itself and had apologised to her for his misbehaviour. he wanted to invite her for his promotion party as his frnds had requested him to do so... they wanted to meet his going-to-be wife. nitin did nt have to work hard on pratigya,she was happy abt the fact that he was sorry and hence agreed to his proposal...
nitin escorted her to the party wich was held in a five star hotel... he introduced her to his frnds and they praised her a lot being "such a beautiful grl".... they conversed with her for sometime and entertained her by bringing her drinks and little nicknacks and she was vry gentle with them all.. bt after some time they became busy with themselves laughing,joking,pulling each others legs,drooling over the dancers in the party and nitin joined them too. thus after few minutes pratigya started to feel extreamely left out and lonely and wondered wat to do...
she roamed abt the party hall by herself and tried to find something interesting to do bt nothing actually caught her attention.evrythng seemed so fake,so artificial,evn the smiles on the lips of the people were so full of attitude and so untrue....as if they were grudging inside....
she walked to the bar to have a drink wen suddenly nitin called out to her frm behind---pratigya...jaldi aao idhar....
she took her drink and hurried up to him. he took the glass frm her hands and placed it on a nearby table.. then he pulled her towards the dance floor,holding her hand.. she tried to object to it bt he was nt in such a state to listen to her.. once they reached the dance floor,nitin clutched her waist tightly and pulled her towards himself....she felt herself crushed against him..enough to feel uncomfortable... she tried to push him away bt he seemed to be drowned in his own passion...he did nt alter to it... she looked around and found other couples too,stuck with each other on the dance floor...the way they behaved with each other and wat they intended to do made her nausseate, she turned away frm them....
in the 3 long years of her relationship with nitin,she had nvr felt free with him in this field,she was nt quite comfortable with physical intimacy...she was still too immature for that. a soft,gentle kiss on the lips had always been enough for her.. nitin knew it too and he had nvr forced himself on her before...till that night.....
pratigya looked at him,his eyes were almost blood red in colour and he cud nt evn stand properly,so drunk he was. she felt her legs trembling as she seemed to recognize the expression in his eyes'it was devouring.. she cudnt help herself wen all of a sudden he placed his lips on hers greedily.... she punched her fists hard on his chest bt he didn't move away..she felt as if she wud suffocate,her mouth was fully covered with his devouring mouth.....
NOOO!!---she tried to shout'U CNT DO THIS TO ME!!! NOO PLZ
the movement of her lips gave him the false notion of her response and he became more urgent and passionate.... to her utmost horror pratigya found his free hands travelling all over her body.... she cudnt take it any more... irritation and disgust filled her frm top to toe. she gathered her strength and kicked him hard on his leg.. he pulled himself away frm her instantly,groaning in pain..
pratigya coughed and gasped for breath...she had almost died of suffocation.. before she cud do anything eolse,nitin hurried towards her and spun her around by the arm. his eyes were burning with rage... he hissed----HW DARE U PRATIGYA? tumhari himmat kaise huyi mujhe kick karne ki? mujhe?NITIN MEHRA ko?
pratigya was nt to be put down either. she shouted---to kya karti main? jo ho raha tha use hone deti? kabhi nhi.....
nitin looked around him.. some people had stopped dancing and were enjoying their scene. he lowered down his voice a little and then said---pratigya awaz niche karo...chillao mat....ye tumhara ghar nhi hain...ye mere izzat ka sawal hain..shut up and dnt create a scene here...
his wrds pricked her like needles.. she felt tears welling up in her eyes bt she hated to show him her weakness. she controlled herself and took a deep breath.. then she walked up to him and placed a hard slap across his face...
he was so shocked that he cud nt manage to say anything..he nvr had the slightest notion that pratigya cud be so desparate...she had always been a gentle and nice grl.....
pratigya said to him,in a firm tone---shayad ye thappar tumhe meri baat acchi tarah se samjha diya hoga...
with that she left the party and walked outside.....
...............................................................
it was a Saturday night and as usual Krishna,ayan and chandu had gone to the wine shop to fill up their tanks.. they had always done that together and till date there had been no exception.. hence it was a shock for ayan and chandu wen Krishna suddenly said----ee chandu,ayan aaj hume peene ka bilkul man nhi kar raha hain,tumlog enjoy karo...
ayan almost choked on his drink at his wrds. he turned towards Krishna,shocked and trying to make out wat he was saying,chandu had the same expression on his face..
ayan'kya kaha aapne bhaiya?aap nhi peeyenge? ee chandu...lagta hain hamara Krishna bhaiya sachmuch pagla gaye hain..... he laughed out loudly...
chandu'kyu bhaiya? aaj is berukhi ki koi wajah?
Krishna wondered whether to tell them or not then finally he opened his mouth---pata nhi yar.....hume aaj aisa kyu lag raha hain ki kisiko hamari sakht zaroorat hain...koi musibat mein hain...pata nhi kyun ye dil tab se dhad dhadaye ja raha hain bas....
chandu giggled---ee ayan tu sach bol raha hain...bhaiya pagla gaye hain,eenko aab ajeeb ajeeb awaze bhi sunayi de rahi hain.....
both of them laughed at their own joke.. Krishna realised that they were nt in such a state to consider his wrds seriously... he himself cudnt.
he thot---ye kya ho raha hain humko? aur kyu?
after sitting quietly for sometime,he suddenly got up and grabbed his bike keys frm the table in frnt of him. then he said to his frnds---hum chalet hain..tumlogo se baad mein milenge... with that he walked out of the wine shop....
..............................................................
pratigya felt terribly helpless..she had been searching for a taxi frantically for the last hal;f an hour bt didn't get one....it was almost 2 0'clock at nite and she became horribly worried. she had said to her parents that she wud be home by mid night as she had come to a frnd's birthday party.. she had to lie to them,although she hated it...as she did nt intend to tell them abt nitin,nt then,and now NVR..
her jaws hardened as she made her confident decision----main usse aab koi rishta nhi rakhungi...sabkuch khatam ho gaya hain,sabkuch........
suddenly a faint sound of engine caught her attention. she turned around to see a single bright light ripping through the darkness of the night. her heart leaped up in excitement and she raised her hand to stop it,watevr it was...
it happened to be a motorbike.. she shouted for it to stop and it obeyed. the motorbike screeched to a halt in frnt of her... the rider took of his helmet and looked at her,his eyes full of overwhelming surprise...it was KRISHNA.....
pratigya hurried to him and said---plz meri madat kijiye...mujhe ghar pahuchnqa hain...bht der ho chuki hain....mujhe ek bhi taxi nhi mil rahi hain......plz meri madat kijiye...main yahan buri tarah se fas gayi hun...plz....
Krishna cud nt help himself frm saying----aap? aap yahan itni raat ko kya kar rahi hain?
as pratigya gazed at the stranger,startled by his wrds,she felt as if she knew him...as if they had met before....she strained her brains bt cudnt remember where....his face seemed so familiar to her....
Krishna said to her----baith jaiye....hum aapko ghar chod dete hain...
an illuminating smile spread across pratigya's face as she gathered the folds of her dress in a suitable manner and got up behind him. it took her a few more seconds to settle herslf.
before putting on his helmet Krishna turned his head and said to her----gir jayengi,hume pakad lijiye...
at frst pratigya felt a little uneasy bt then she shoved away her discomfort and grabbed his waist tightly.. she was,in fact,vry afraid of bike rides....bt now she did nt hve any other way....
Krishna put on his helmet and kicked his bike to a start....they disappeared into the dark night...
................................................................................
hey...ruko.....hum pahuch gaye hain---pratigya cried out...
it had taken them about twenty minutes and pratigya was pretty scared this whole span of time...
she detested bike rides,bt this one was more dangerous,Krishna rode it in a really rough way.....
pratigya got down frm the bike and smiled at him---thnk u so much...aaj agr aap nhi hote to main shayad waqt par ghar nhi pahuch pati...waise late to gaya hain lekin aur late ho jata to shayad papa police mein complain karne nikal padte.....
she laughed at her own joke and a smile also appeared on krishna's lips....
pratigya stretched out her hand to him---hi,am pratigya....tumhara nam?
Krishna did nt shake hands with her. he just said flatly---naam jankar kya karenge...apko ko chehre bhi thk se yaad nhi rahte....
pratigya---matlab?
as a reply to her question,he put on his helmet,started his bike and sped away,leaving pratigya,all confused and puzzled at his strange behaviour....
on her way towards the entrance,suddenly,as if someone put it into her mind,she remembered where she had met him....
oh my god!!!! ye to wohi ladka hain jisne usdin hamari jaan bachayi thi....woh dupatta wala incident.........!!!
she slapped herself on her forehead----oh main kaise bhul gayi...usne aaj bhi hamari madat ki aur maine...? kya soch raha hoga woh.........plz bhagwan agr ek bar aur mil jaye woh mujhe to main usse mafi mang lungi...aaj agr woh nhi hota......
she shuddered at the thot of wat wud hve happened to her if he wud nt hve been there....
she didn't know that probably her destiny was smiling at her,only he knew that meeting Krishna so many times...was nt just a coincidence...............................................
