Hi,
Pratigya sat in front of the mirror , staring at her image……. She looked different…..out of this world…..beautiful…….. the beautician finished final touches on her , marveling on about the quality of the cloth n simple yet elegant jewelry …….'oh u look like a princess…..! ofcourse u r the bride of the Thakhur family…. Royal lineage n all…. If its not democracy , u could well be the real princess….' She gushed…….. Pratigya was not listening ……… she had raised her hand to feel the necklace , which looked gorgeous ……. She tried not to gasp as she saw him reflected in the mirror , just behind her…….. his eyebrow raised n an appreciating smile on his lips in approval at what he was seeing…………. 'what happened , dear?' the beautician asked , seeing the sudden blush n then the flash of anger crossing her face………. 'nothing…' said Pratigya averting her eyes from the mirror ……….. 'oh...God ! its already late ….' Snapped manjula from the hall, opening the door ………… 'I want to see my mother' said Pratigya looking straight in her eye …….. manjula pursed her lips , her face working to control her anger as she smiled ……… 'ofcourse , we will be coming back here in 2 hours time …….. u could see her then….. why disturb her now? Let her take rest ……' Pratigya began to say something , but the beautician said , confused n for the first time , suspicious 'what do u mean , manjulaji….. ? how could the girl go just like that ? it's her mother… n its most unfortunate that the poor mother is not well while the most sacred n beautiful moment in her daughter's life is happening ……………. She …'
'oh ok …..i was just saying bec its already late n her mother is sleeping …' manjula tried to smile ……… Pratigya looked gratefully at the beautician n went to renuka's room ……….. she tried not to cry as her hands wound around renuka's legs……. Pratigya didn't know why was she seeking her mother's blessing but she knew one thing………. if ever her mother would succeed in making her agree for a marriage , she would have sought her mother's blessings………. But here her life was coming to an end ……… images of her childhood n schooldays n college life passed before her eyes …….. n the kind of hatred n determination n self esteem that ruled her , even when she fought against her father ……… she had courage …… will….. to go any lengths n defy the minister n escape from this hell with her mother…………… up until she met that devil………! It was as though he had robbed her off her courage ……..! she was left vulnerable ..defenseless…… helpless……! She gritted her teeth in an attempt to stem the scream which was threatening to come out of her heart …… bec , however much she felt like a sacrificial goat right then, however much she tried to feel self loathing n loathing for him, she could feel that treacherous part in her waiting with unexplainable excitement for the day ahead ……. N night ……..n the dawn ……. N the next day…… eternity ……. To see him…….. to be with him………..
'let's go, now!...' she heard manjula's voice as though from a fog ……… she stood up , ran her fingers through her mother's head n bend down to kiss her forehead …………'I am going to get u out of here , mother ….. soon….' She whispered, trying to sound confident ………. 'ofcourse , u will…… ' said manjula , turning Pratigya to face her by her right elbow ……Pratigya glared at her in suppressed anger ……. 'n be careful girl, if u arouse even the tiniest bit of suspicion in any person , I assure u , a heavy dosage of drug will be injected to ur mother while she is awake …….she will die a most horrible death …….so don't try n play games…….ur body stands in the way of urs n ur dear mother's freedom …….. use it wisely n there, u r free…..' smirked manjula, pushing Pratigya ahead , out of the room……… Pratigya looked at her in disgust n hatred but turned her face away as some women came along the corridor , laughing …….. 'hmm, showing improvement already ….. good! Try n keep ur mother alive….' Hissed manjula as they climbed down the stairs……………

Krishna sat on his bed as one of the servants put on the shoes on his feet……….. Chandu was attending to his turban……….. he was feeling irritated n bored………. n angry …….. 'is this all necessary?' he hissed through his teeth as he watched the servants picking up his discarded clothes ……… Chandu smiled , amused…… 'of course it is necessary…… n its just the beginning …….. the room will be unrecognizable when u come back here in the night ……..' he winked at krishna ………the servant at his feet looked up 'is it Ok malik?' …… krishna stood up, swatting his hand in the air , indicating him to go away n turned n grimaced at chandu …'this is so not funny , Chandu ' …….. 'yeah…..but ' he began he stopped , shocked n worried ……………. a group of maids stood outside the door , behind ma sahib …….. Chandu's eyes fell on the woman standing right behind the group , her face covered almost , but he thought he knew who she was ………sumitra looked at krishna from under her hood , her eyes brimming in tears as she saw her son up close in a long time…….n that too in his wedding attire……..he looked so handsome…. … ma sahib cleared her throat , rapping once at the door 'krishna beta , its already late ….. if u could pls come down now , we could start immediately …….. n the maids have to clean the bathroom n change ur bed n curtains ……… n then decorate the room ……. ' krishna's face was set as he glared angrily at her ….. 'what nonsense ! decorate my room ? ' he shouted, his fists clenching ………
Chandu came forward , placing a hand on krishna's shoulder ……….. 'come on krishna …its all fun…..lets go downstairs now…. Come…' he hastily pulled krishna by hand ……… the maids fell back as they walked out , one servant holding the sword in his hand ……chandu glanced nervously at sumitra , while he steered krishna out of the room……'right then, get to work …… we have no time ….' Ordered gayatri …….. she stopped sumitra by hand at the door , letting the others pass ………….. once she was sure all others r busy in various corners of the huge king size room , she gripped tightly on sumitra's hand 'thought so…… so can't resist to come n see ur precious son ……n r u sure u want to do this? ….some hide u have got, sumitra….…tell me , how does it feel like making his bed for him n his …may I say… new toy? Or should I say , slave?...Some moment for a mother!!! ' sumitra wrenched her hand from Gayatri's grip looking at her in disgust through her hood….. 'Atleast I am better than u , didi….. toy or mistress, my son is bringing her as his wedded wife …… ….. where as u, didi!………..u r the most shameless person in the world …..………I see meera is now with angad……. U r just a mere pimp for ur son …. N u won't admit it, but I know that krishna too treats u as such ……. If not lesser…..' said sumitra , her eyes hard ……..
'u bitch ! u….' gayatri began , hissing , but she had to cut it as Chandu came up behind them along the corridor 'ma sahib…..er..' he looked for a moment between gayatri n sumitra wondering what could they be saying …….. sumitra went inside the room quickly , pulling out sheets from the bed ………….. 'yes, chandu ?' asked gayatri , sounding urgent n offhand……… 'bauji n all others r waiting for u downstairs ….. as u said , its really late ……' Chandu said , looking at sumitra, concerned n worried, as she hauled the big n thick cotton sheets off the bed with difficulty ……….. 'oh…yes…come lets go….' Bristled gayatri closing the door slightly ……….. chandu walked one step behind gayatri , his mind occupied ……….. 'some times I feel sorry for that wretched woman ...after all she is a mother …….. but …. But that only increases the depth of her deception n treachery ' gayatri sighed dramatically , as she descended the stairs ….. Chandu nodded absently ……….. he was remembering the frail hands pulling out the sheets n the pain visible through the trembling fingers ……………
Krishna climbed up the steps of the temple, the irritation at having his room trampled vanishing in a instant as his eyes fell on the tree where he had first met her……………he stopped in his tracks not knowing why the sight hit him so profoundly………..his mind reeled back to the scene where he had first touched her………inhaled her scent ……. N saw her face………..'what is it , Krishna ?' asked sajjan , stopping beside him……………'nothing…' said Krishna ,his jaw set………. They walked up to the main sanctum where the pandit greeted them with courtesy …….gayatri bustled into the mandap to check on the arrangements of puja while Sajjan n Pratap welcomed the guests , mostly family n close friends……….. angad lingered around the front row of pillars , throwing jealous glances at Krishna now n then …………… Krishna walked to the other side so that he don't have to look at the tree, chandu following him closely behind carrying his sword………. That was a mistake ……but a sweet mistake….. as Pratigya's car came to halt near the steps below ……she got out , her head bowed against the wind n then straightened ……….Krishna tried hard not to inhale but he did ……….. n he also tried hard not to stare ……….but he just couldn't look away ………… she looked magical in his house's traditional saree……n so elegant…………..so womanly………he felt a jolt ….. woman! Yes! That's what it is…… that unexplainable feeling he was having about her …………… he saw her as a girl …..….. he didn't know why the fact that she was a girl struck him so deeply then………… what's happening to him? He had promised himself that he won't even look at a girl…hadn't he?…….He won't have anything to do with any girl….. they r vile… poisonous ……… like his mother ….like her…… but then why is he feeling attracted to her as a girl?…… he shook his head, frustrated…… n for the first time in his life he felt afraid of a person ….her…. he glared at her , frustration n anger mounting …..
he had a concrete answer in his mind whenever that tricky question arose inside him….why he wanted her? The answer was simple…..he wanted her bec he wanted her…… her body ……her taste, her scent …… the only word that came to his mind when he saw her was 'more'……. He wanted more of her…….he wanted to enjoy her night , day….every moment…..he had meant it literally when he said that he wanted her as his mistress……his slave….……only just that….. n lately bec he wanted to teach her a lesson……..…but now the question was turning to be scary… bec suddenly the answer didn't seem so simple……… hell! He can't find the answer…..its all foggy…..his mind was drawing blank…..all at the same time!……he closed is eyes n opened them as if to clear his mind…..….. he gritted his teeth as she climbed the steps n her eyes wandering towards the tree……why is she looking at it? Like he did? ….. he could feel her eyes change , n a blush spread across her cheeks, even from the distance………. what did she think that caused that beautiful blush? Why do u want to know that? I don't know……….. the hell u don't know! Care to list out the ever growing things that u don't know!his mind scoffed him...u don't know why u wanted to kiss her? U don't know why u restrained from doing it when u very well want to do that n more to her? U don't know why u r feeling that stupid feeling of breathing for the first time when u inhale her scent ? n not to mention that even more stupid feeling of parched throat everytime he feel like kissing her! u don't know why u felt panic….panic! when she fainted in ur arms…? U don't know why u felt like going back n check if she is alright? U don't know why u thought about death ? u don't know why u felt like falling as u look in her eyes n enjoying the feeling? U don't know why u r pathetic enough to search for ur name in a stupid mehendi pattern , that too in ur damn dream!!!!...n since when did KST started having dreams about girls?...Krishna wanted to scream………… dreaming? Nightmare actually !….. he looked at her strangely…….her face was contorted in anger , at herself….! Why though? …….why the hell do u want to know!!!!... She is playing with his mind now!!!!... oh , what's happening to him! An eerie feeling filled him as he realized with a jolt that none of the above mentioned questions had nothing physical about them…………
********************************************
Pratigya couldn't resist herself from glancing towards the tree as she climbed the steps…………. This was were all started ………… him!... She remembered the feeling of his fingers over her mouth n his warm breath over the back of her neck ……….N she blushed ……blushed ! …… what's happening to her! Who in their right frame of mind would blush at the memory of one's kidnap?! …….u r disgusting pratigya !... her face filled with anger n self loathing …………. She could feel her body reacting even before her mind caught up with the feeling of his eyes on her n she looked up …….. her eyes met his angry ones , separated by the mandap………… why is he looking at in anger? She found it disturbing………….. n then she found herself relaxing as her eyes took in his appearance ……….. he looked…handsome…… even more so…………. Her eyes trailed down his face , roving down his form ,taking in his elegant poise …………. N his physique ……….. he is so naturally attractive………. ! she found that she liked looking at him……….. it felt so good , she could feel her heart fluttering ………. She felt a little disappointment as she couldn't see his legs , as he was on the other side n she looked up at his face again , to find with a jolt that he was looking at her in a strange manner………. There was a bit of shock n confusion in his eyes………. Which instantly turned into pure naked desire as his eyes bored into hers a sly smile breaking in his lips………oh no! he caught her staring at him!….. she blushed such furiously that she found herself burning under his gaze, the knowledge that she had been caught more affecting her than his blatant sensual gaze …………. She tried to look away , with all her might , but just couldn't………. she jolted out , wrenching her eyes from his as some woman nudged sharply at her elbow , tripping …………. Oh! What did she do ? she had stared at him n felt good about it!!!!... even worse! She had admired him !….. n the way he looked at her ! she hurried along with the group of the women , her head down, burning in embarrassment n humiliation ………..n shock ! at herself! …since when did she started admiring a man…! She knew the answer ….. since she met him!! ………..its him! All bec of him! ………..she had been n is behaving weirdly bec of him! Her world is coming apart all bec of him!... she is no longer her own , all bec of him!!!!...
**************************************
Krishna was glaring at her angrily for all the ill effects she is having on him n suddenly she had looked up……. She seemed disturbed when their eyes met , but then slowly her face relaxed as her eyes glided over his face , n then down , her eyes twinkling slightly ………….he was shocked , will be an understatement ………… he stared at her in disbelief ………. She is surprising him in all kinds of ways ,………….unwelcome, unacceptable, curious, angry , insane ways……….. n unexpected ways……….. no one has dared look in his eyes but her!... n no one had disobeyed him but her ! ….no one had talked back to him but her! ……….. n she only had the stupidity to slap him!!!...n nothing managed to kindle the kind of lust in him which left even himself surprised………….but here, she was just unbelievable …………. She actually was checking him out !!!! n that fact happened to shock him …… such audacity !!! n it also happen to turn him on…… prodding up his male ego like never before ….. n that felt too good ……….that pleasant admiring smile in her eyes was so inviting…….Then she had looked up n he couldn't help but to show her exactly what he felt about her gesture ……….. oh! The way her cheeks turned bright red under his gaze………….. n her eyes filled with coyness so adorable that he felt like drowning in them……….. but then her eyes changed ….she looked flustered …… n angry , again, it seemed , at herself………… why though? Stop! U don't want to know…..remember? ….. krishna shook his head in frustration …………mere sec ago he was making up his mind to stay away from her, ignore her , but now all he wanted was to be as near to her as humanly possible….. No!...stop!... Ignore her! He watched her walk away , her head bowed down …………….
