Hi,
Pratigya ran to her mother's room, banging on the door to open , the moment she reached her house ... her aunty came right behind her , picking up the thrown jewels along her way ... the bodyguard opened the door n Pratigya rushed in to see her mother laying weakly on the bed ... 'what did u do to her ? what did u do u bas***d?' Pratigya shouted lunching on the bodyguard , capturing hisr collar ...'Nothing much ! he didn't give her not even a drop of water till now ...now leave him or else she will be missing her dinner too...' said her aunt , trying to prise off her hands from the bodyguard ... Pratigya shrieked, rounding on her 'What? She is taking her medicines !!! I am doing what u want , then why r u doing this to her ? let her live for god's sake ...I will do whatever u say ...just ...just release her from this hell...!' 'I will...' said Shailendra stepping into the room ...'once I get my files then she will be free...this was just a testing...to see whether u will behave or not...u did well, but still there r areas where u could improve , ur aunt tells me ...Manjula, get her water n food ... ' he nodded at the woman n dismissed the bodyguard... she smiled smugly n go out of the room...
'stop the torture ...I will do what u want me to do...please stop this torture' Pratigya found herself begging , her eyes full of pain at Shailendra ...'well, we will see...' Shailendra chuckled n left the room...Pratigya walked weakly to her mother, caressing her feet in apprehension n sadness ... her mother was perspiring ... she grabbed the glass of water that manjula bought n cradled her mother's head on her lap, urging an almost unconscious renuka to drink...renuka was too weak to speak ...once her mother could sit up weakly she began feeding her , fighting back her tears ... once her mother had taken the medicine , she laid her back lovingly n ran her fingers through her hair, tears brimming her eyes... n her eyes caught the ring glittering on her finger... she remembered how he had put it on her , the way his thumb roved over her palm...she inhaled wildly at the memory ... she withdrew her hand from her mother's hair as though burned ...instead of feeling repulsed by him, she was feeling ...what...she couldn't even describe the feeling ...
she got up from the bed , feeling repulsed at herself... for the first time in her life , she genuinely felt fearful of a man... him!... bec how much ever she hated him, loathed him, she had realized that a part of her liked him... in some sort of horrible manner... n the thought repulsed her ... she wanted to scream, pull her hair n take out her damn traitor mind n throw it away... that part which felt helpless before him...! she looked out into the garden through the windows , tears falling down her cheek , silently praying for sanity to prevail , both inside n outside of her being...she pulled aside the curtains hoping the view would sooth her mind n heart but that was a mistake ... her eyes again caught the ring ...she slowly brought her plam close to her face ...taking in the beauty of the ring...the moonlight shone brightly n the ring shimmered beautifully ...she raised a trembling finger to caress the ring n she could feel his breath fanning across the back of her neck as he wishpered huskily in her ear 'Mine...! ' sending that tingling shiver down her spine...Startled Pratigya turned back to see the room n her mother's sleeping form staring back at her... disgusted at herself she tried to prise off the thing from her finger, her face contorted in rage n shame ... that devil was trying to get ur body through falsifying n mocking the sacredness of marriage n u r fantasying about him staking his claim on u!!!! shame on u Pratiga !... with a strangled moan , she wrenged the ring from her finger n threw it away across the room , shouting 'go away...leave me alone...just go away...!' ... she collapsed down on the floor , trembling n shaking in sobs...
Chandu was silent through out the ride... so was Krishna ... for once Krishna wasn't driving as he didn't like to drive any other car than his fav Rover... Chandu looked over at Krishna , who was staring out of the window in opposite dirction , his fingers playing with the ring on his left hand... his mind was so full of her image...so beautiful... he wrinkled his nose in distaste as he remembered the artificial makeup ...that ridiculous lipstick ! ... what r do doing Krishna ? his mind screamed at him...u r thing of a girl's make up items !!!!... ur mind is going to the gutter ...ever since that girl came to ur life , u r thinking of nothing else but her! ...just get over with it !!!... teach that bitch a lesson she will never forget n throw her away ...from ur sight n ur mind...just come out of her!!!!... he took a deep breath, trying to calm down ...n he could feel a tugging feeling at his heart ... why? For what? He didn't know...but he has got a feeling that the feeling will be eased if he cloud just see her... the realisation startled him as he knew it that it was what he wanted ...to see her... what? R u kidding Krishna? KST, wants to see a girl in the middle of the night? Just out of blue?... he ran his hand through his hair forcefully in frustration ...
Chandu's mind was even more in turmoil ... there was something wrong ... what if Pratigya was being forced into this marriage ? but why? For what purpose?! ...but the sari !!!... how could Ma sahib get the sari if Pratigya hadn't given it to her? ... what if her father gave it to ma sahib? ...No!... why would Ma Sahib lie? Chandu clicked his tongue in anger n confusion ... he knew the woman...! she was cunning , manipulating n greedy ...n she had this issue of not being the rightful child of the haveli...n he was sure that she hid many a thing from bauji n Krishna ... but they were mostly about angad ... ofcourse she was over protective of her son !!... n was very greedy ! n had no qualms in taking the path which was wrong by their standards ... but here there is no reason what she should lie ... what she did was actually saving the family from the disgrace if Krishna took her as mistress of if Pratigya had gone public with that sari...! he slapped the steering in frustration ! but then why was pratigya tensed? As if afraid? ... may be her father would be the forcing her into this marriage ...yes! that would be it ...! he need to talk to Pratigya asap... yes ! ...
'Chandu , turn the car...i want to see her...now!' ordered Krishna , his eyes slits...No! Krishna , no u r being pathetic...I don't care, I want to see her!...his jaw clenched ... Startled, Chandu almost pulverised the wheels as he braked the car...'What ? its midnight Krishna ! n why do u want to see her? ...can't u be patient until...' he stopped talking abruptly as he saw look in Krishna's eyes ... 'don't force me to throw u out in the middle of the road , Chandu ... The Defense Minister's house...Now!...' Krishna said in a dangerous tone... Chandu looked pleadingly at Krishna n Krishna got out of the car, slamming the door shut ... he walked over at Chandu's side n opened the door forcefully 'out...! if u can't take me to her I will drive...' Chandu cut short him 'No...I will ... pls get in the car Krishna ...I promise , I will... come, get in ...please...'... Krishna glared at chandu in anger for a few secs before resuming his seat, staring straight ahead... Chandu looked at Krishna , conflicting feelings of happiness n sorrow in his heart, as he turned the car...he was remembering krishna's words ...'take me to her' n his eyes when he said them... there was not a trace of hatred in them...but a kind of longing , craving he has never seen in his eyes ever... oh, his brother was helplessly in love ...! ... but was the girl worth it...? his fingers tightened over the steering ... well, he will get to know soon... he must talk to her...if she is playing some trick , then he will make sure that she will suffer...! he thought angrily ... he will never let Krishna suffer any heartache ... he has had his share of heartaches long back the wound of which is still bleeding ...his mother had given him a never ending torture...he won't let anybody hurt his brother...
Chandu sighed ... he didn't know why he felt sumitra as a mother n called her ma, even though everybody told him she killed his father ... somehow , looking into her eyes , he never saw a murderer ... may be she must have realized her mistake ... n she suffered so much for her mistake ...her crime ... bauji had made sure she suffered... n he felt like she had suffered enough ...may be she regretted from her heart... all he could see in her eyes were the longing to be with her husband n son...especially with her son...! Krishna never liked him going near or taking care of or talking to her , but he did it any way ... whatever the world say , he couldn't feel it in his heart that ma could've plotted to kill her husband n his father... may be as bauji reminded him from time to time , he has fallen for her masked face ... but instinct , overwhelming instinct told him that that was her real face ...even Pratap mama showed respect n kindness to her ... yes, that was the word ...kindness... may be bec she has suffered her sentence for her crime, or is still suffering... ... he couldn't amass the courage to ask her what exactly transpired , for fear of risking his own heart's feelings... one day he will ask... when ,he don't know..
The pandit looked up as Gayatri entered his room in highly agitated manner ... ' Namaste Pandit ji' she said , rather haphazardly ... 'yes? Ma Sahib? At this hour? What brought u here? ... u said u never wanted to see my face again , what ,25 years ago...' asked the pandit, startled n surprised n angry, standing up ... 'I was a fool... I was scared ...u know the reason... u said such horrible things to me about him n u expected me to brush it all off as if its nothing!!!!... ' Gayatri said her tone angry n apprehensive ...'so why r u here, Malkin? After all these years?' mocked the pandit ... Gayatri looked at him , her voice filled with concern 'I am sorry I had to send u away from the service of our haveli , but u know the reasons... sajjan would have killed u if he knew what's in store for his son... pls understand ...u were about to say to him that the tiny bundle of joy in his hands would live for only 4 years , or at the most up to 26!...I was saving ur life by throwing u out of the haveli that day...' The pandit looked back at Gatari , his eyes narrowed in confusion n anger ... 'may I?' asked Gayatri indicating the couch in front of him...'yes, pls malkin' said , bowing down the pandit remembering that his family was duty bound to serve the Thakurs ...
'so why r u here malkin, something wrong?... he is not 26 yet...is he?' he asked with genuine concern... 'oh...I have been living in constant dread all these years ... u told me that there is a probability of immature death at the age of 4 , but u must have heard about that in all newspapers ... he didn't go with Sajjan that day , although I , silly ofcourse , insisted him to go along with sajjan ... God's grace n kindness , he didn't go n u know ... kishan died ...Sajjan was nearly killed ... ' sighed gayatri dramatically ... 'yes I know...' nodded the pandit , looking grave ... 'did u find out Malik's kundali, ma sahib? I don't know where my father kept it...I can't find it... I would have warned him of the danger if I had any clue...!' 'oh, I didn't find it either...I have looked for it thoroughly ...' said gayatri betraying a hint of impatience ... she was getting irritated ... she needed to know something important n this idiot is going on about irrelevant things!!! ...'I am here to know some specific things, panditji... u must have heard what's going on... his marriage is fixed ...it was unexpected , sudden... n I had completely forgotten about what u said 25 years ago... Do u still think that will come to pass...?' she asked cautiously , trying to sound concerned rather than excited or tensed ... 'Hmmm...i need to see the kundali again...I don't remember a thing about it ...do u...' he began but gayatri interrupted , placing 2 kundali's down on a table near him as she said 'here, I brought this for ur scrutiny ... n for good measure I brought the girl's too...just in case...'
The pandit opened Krishna's as he asked , his tone uncertain 'if u don't mind malkin...erm...I get that u haven't told malik yet about what I told u earlier, at the time of chote Thakur's birth...have u?' Gayatri fidgeted in her seat as she said 'no, i haven't ...he will be worrying too much ...keep it aside for a moment...i need u to tell me everything that u can see in the kundalis...is there any possibility of that incident occurring soon...? i mean he was saved when he was 4 , so if we could prevent ...' she trailed off with thundering heart ...she hoped to god that this time its not like before n all this unforeseen circumstances does not prevent him from immature death as said by the pandit earlier... 'n i need u to check the kundali of the girl too...u see this was a hasty decision as u rightly said ...whether their kundalis match or not...although I know kudalis n all that stuff doesn't count in love marriages' she snorted nervously ...she wanted to know if the girl could prove dangerous or not ... the pundit opened Prtigya's too, checking randomly ... Gayatri waited with increasing impatience n tension ...'oh !' he exclaimed , smiling happily ... 'what?' Gayatri almost shouted , dread filling her...if he is smiling then it most certainly isn't good news for her... 'Love n destiny do work in strange ways , malkin...' the pandit gushed , smiling ... 'this time u can say this to Malik without any fear... Chote Thakur has found his soul mate ... ! the girl, she is the one...! they r made for each other...! mated for eternity ! ...no need to feel anxious... their marriage is written...all along...' he beamed at gayatri ... gayatri sat there too shocked to move an inch or breathe ...she could feel her world spinning out of its axis n plummeting to an abyss ...
