'I told –u to-take–the-pics ! u idiot' geetha hissed to dinesh , snatching the camera from him n checking to find that the face of the men were not visible…………… 'I guess I need to go inside now' geetha said , standing up, n brushing down her top …….. Dinesh , gulped , his eyes widening as he shouted'look out, geetha!' , as she turned n collided with Chandu…………. Geetha staggered back as Chandu smiled at her , the security guard catching hold of Dinesh n taking the camera from him……… 'oh,hi' she said foolishly , her eyes embarrassed n shocked as she watched her memory card being taken out n handed over to Chandu , who pocketed it , his smile widening ………….. 'Thank u mam, now u can go…..' Chandu said, bowing slightly , stepping back ... 'er...I ... ' geetha stammered , as the security guard gave the camera back to dinesh who was already half way across the garden path...she was seeing chandu up close for the first time, n for some reason suddenly she found that she can't meet the eyes of Chandu , n she felt her cheeks reddening in embarrassment...she was looking everywhere else but at him... 'wait for me u...' geetha called after dinesh n sped up behind him, as chandu looked on amused ... her reddened cheeks lingered in his eyes for a sec long as he shook his head n walked towards the restaurant... Krishna's sharp eyes had noticed her behind the bush when they came in ... n he had asked chandu to dismiss her quickly...
'we will announce as soon as this song finishes' Whispered shailendra ,to durjjan, as the crowd seemed enjoying the new girls ...'BTW, u didn't tell me whom u want tonight?' asked Shailendra, but Durjjan wasn't listening ... he was looking at the entrance of the pub, as though he had seen a ghost , n he hissed to Shailendra 'oh, no, why do he have to come here? I thought he was in Mumbai!' Shailendra looked towards the entrance muttering 'he who?' Krishna entered the pub, alone, his eyes surveying the hall , his hands in his pockets , casually walking to the circular table surrounding the drinks area...he didn't order anything , just sat leisurely , as if the girls brushing on to his body as they tried to seduce him , didn't even exists...
'who is he?' Shailendra asked , grimacing at the immaculate waist coat he wore n the way girls seemed to flock to him as if insects to flame... Durjjan took out his mobile calling Sakthi ...'what is it? Bauji...the announcement !' sakthi said excitedly , pushing off a girl , whom he was dancing with ... 'no u idiot, did u contact lalu?' Durjjan asked, his teeth gritting in anger... 'That bas***d is not picking up his phone' spat sakthi into his mobile, pulling the girl to him once again ... Durjjan looked across at Krishna, with Shailendra standing next to him confused , n said , his voice grave 'come here, immediately ... i think we have trouble... Krishna is here...' 'So what?' sakthi said, although he pushed the girl away with finality ...'he might have come here to look for his fill for the night...u know that bas***d' he said , jealousy gripping him... 'u fool!' barked durjjan into the phone 'why would he come here when his precious gold is gone missing? When he should be looking for bansi all over UP?' sakthi tensed , running his palm over his mouth , which has suddenly gone dry ...'I am coming...' he said, cutting the phone...
'would u care to tell me what's happening? Who the hell is that lad?' Shailendra asked , rounding on Durjjan ...'Krishna ...Krishna Singh Thakur...Sajjan's son' said Durjjan ... Shailendra nearly snapped his neck as he looked across at Krishna , startled ...he was distracted by a politician who , swaying in the influence of alcohol boomed loudly , grasping his hand 'hey u didn't tell us why this party is for , Mr, minister...the election isn't over yet' Shailendra ignored him , his eyes fixed on Krishna , a slight uneasy feeling in his mind , as Bakshi tugged at his sleeve , whispering 'that's him' ...
Renuka , feeling suffocated, looked helplessly at Pratigya... Pratigya a determined look in her face stood up, taking her mother's hand n tried to climb down the stairs , looking down the floor for an escape route... just at that moment the door opened n Chandu came in... she blinked n looked at him...she recognised him, the gentleman who had helped her n ramu chacha... she wondered what he was doing in such a place as renuka, seeing that Pratigya was planning to leave, tugged her back from the stairs ... Chandu walked towards the drinks cabin , his eyes sweeping the place... Pratigya , hushed her mother n looked down at Chandu, thinking that she might ask his help again... but she thought better off it , as she saw the gang of girls surrounding him n an young man next to him...
Pratigya , sighing , n grimacing that all men r actually the same, turned n paused , n gazed at the younger man , sitting next to Chandu... for the first time in her life, she looked back at a man ...she didn't know why she turned , but she had felt a sudden shiver pass through her , body or heart, she couldn't tell, when she had just gazed at him... n the shiver had nothing to do with the fear or anything, she couldn't grasp the emotion too... it was completely alien to her... she gazed at him , her eyes taking in his calm composure , which exuded authority ... his face was classically handsome , with a strong nose n a prominent jaw n magnificent chin... n deep , piercing eyes ... she noticed that he seemed oblivious to the nearly naked girls brushing over him , as if they didn't exists ...he seemed innocent n honest... she felt something closing in on her as she watched him... Krishna could feel a lot of eyes on him , as he sat next to the drinks counter ... but he felt an unusual pair of eyes , among them , gazing at him n he turned his head slightly to the direction ...she turned away as she felt her mother tugging at her , as krishna looked around , then looked at his watch, as though waiting for something ... she led her mother back to the couch as she saw sakthi n his brother manu , crossing towards where their father stood...
Suddenly the lights began to dim n fade , coming n going n there were groans n worried queries all over the place ... Pratigya tightened her grip on her mother as people around her started grumbling n complaining ... Below, sakthi looked wildly at his father as he said 'What's happening ? ' ... 'Dunno' Shailendra muttered as Durjjan said 'he is still there , with his side kick Chandu...where is lakhan?' 'i think he has got his dish for tonight' chuckled manu...
the guests n public n the girls stood idle as suddenly the manager of the restaurant came n stood over the podium calling for attention 'Ladies and Gentlemen , sorry for the inconvenience ... we offer our apology ...there is some problem with the lighting and sound system n I request the guests to remain patient n please take ur leave , as we don't know what went wrong... we r trying to fix the problem , but it looks like it will take time ... we value ur precious time n let's not hold u up...I request the host for the day , honoroble Defense minister n the chief guest Mr. Durjjan singhji to kindly see the other distinguished guests out of the Restaurant... n I request them to kindly stay back for a few minutes as the Owner will like to apologise to them personally for this inconvenience... '
'good thing... he will be going away' said sakthi , his eyes fixed on Krishna through the play of lights , jealousy n hatred in them...The guests n general public grumbled in alcoholic stupor n went towards the exit as Shailendra , apologized to many of them ...he seethed , as almost all the guests were gone 'I need to have a word with that stupid owner ... all my plans for the night spoiled... !!!' 'Yeah...! fumed sakthi , that dog is a bad omen for me'... Durjjan patted him on shoulder ' don't worry ... we were just planning to announce it na, we will do it on the morning of engagement, this Saturday... Pratigya stood up from the couch , relieved , thanking God for the good fortune ... now she had time upto Saturday ... she will get a new house or flat by that time, she thought , helping her mother to stand...
Outside the restaurant , some distance along the road , Geetha kicked at dinesh's bike in anger n frustration, while dinesh was laughing his head off ...'oh, hi...er...!!! OMG ... geetha tiwary! wanna-be ace reporter n this is what she says to a man who has forcibly taken her camera ...ha ha ha'... geetha groaned , hitting dinesh with her hand bag 'stop it right now dinesh or u will ...' 'what ? blush at me?' roared dinesh , trying to duck ... 'I wasn't blushing!' geetha screamed , although she turned pink a bit ...'OK...OK...don't ruin my ear drums' said dinesh , trying not to laugh... 'n what were u doing?' she asked highly displeased ...'gaping at them when i was telling u to take pics! Giving the camera way too easily ! ...' ' i don't want to upset a couple of potential gangsters n end up being dead , just bec i didn't give them some stupid memory card...' huffed dinesh ... 'on a serious note geetha, ' dinesh said , suddenly serious ...' they r dangerous ... we could stop this here...' ...'No...!' said geetha resolutely ... ' they threw me away from their path ... bit i will be on their trail ... i will get my best piece of news on them, either father or son...' 'or him' added dinesh , chortling ...'never – ever – mention – him – again...! do u understand ?' geetha ran after him on the road , punching him with her bag , all along...
"we r sorry Sir ! ... ' said the manager , apologetically to Shailendra ... 'would u n ur sons like to keep ur rooms for tonight , Durjjan ji ?' he asked indicating the girls who still hovered in the hall , uncertain ...Sakthi leered 'ofcourse we will...there should be some fun from the party'... 'Call Shankar..ur owner !' Shailendra spat angrily ' my party is spoiled !' 'Not yet, Mr. Defense Minister ' said a deep , cold voice , as the lights on the hall came back ... Shailendra , bakshi n durjjan n Sakthi n manu turned , startled as Krishna casually walked up to them, Chandu closing the front door, but not bolting it...
Pratigya , startled at the new voice n its tone , made her mother to sit back n came over the balcony to look down at what's happening below...the people below couldn't see her clearly as the lights were off there... 'U?' hissed Durjjan , as Sakthi n manu n what was left of their goons , who didn't go out of the room , drew their guns, pointing them at Krishna , n chandu...Pratigya felt shock hit her as she noticed the body language of the young man , which was of a cold predator ...gone were the innocent look n gentleness ... she felt as though stabbed when she saw Chandu , taking out a gun n pointing it at manu... Chandu wielded a gun? But...but he seemed a gentleman, she thought , confused ...
Krishna smiled , as his men emerged from side doors n pointed their weapons at Durjjan n their men... Shailendra n bakshi looked around wide eyed n fearful... 'That will do, u can go ' Krishna ordered at the manager ... the manager bowed n started retreating , indicating the girls to follow him...Durjjan n Shailendra looked at each other , realizing that they were set up as sakthi swore loudly ... 'language , worm' Krishna chuckled , as he clicked his fingers at one of the girls 'U... he will show my room... be there in ' he checked his watch, nodding at the manager...'10 minutes...' Durjjan n sakthi hissed, sakthi tightening the grip on his gun , his face contorted in humiliation n anger n jealousy ...The girl looked as though unable to believe her luck n she nodded clumsily n went behind the manager, while the other girls looked disappointed as they followed them wordlessly...
