OS Amarprem - Chapter 76 Part 2 updated page 3

Krishna drove down the road , his eyes staring at the road ahead . his hands gripping the steering a little too tightly ...pratigya sat in distress , her mind in turmoil...as much as she wanted to rescue her mother n run away n build a career n all, she knew there was a strong part that wished nothing more than to be with him, to be loved by him, to be his wife , to have his children, to watch them grow ... n die in his arms after a long...long life...she fought her tears , helpless...she glanced at him from under her lashes , her face full of concern n love... she saw his face set n eyes darting every now n then to chandu's benz behind them... Pratigya adjusted the thaal on her lap n slowly extended her palm to gently caress over his left arm... Krishna acknowledged her smoothening touch with a flicker of his eyes ... He was feeling pain n happiness n a certain confusion ... Confused that although he wanted his mother by all his being , did he really want back the woman who tried to kill him n his father, who was the murdered of his grandmother n kishan uncle... He took a deep breath as he felt pratigya's fingers roving along his upper arm n hold his shoulder ...like a friend... he looked at her feeling the pain in his heart lessening... pratigya smiled at him reassuringly n he smiled back at her , n they found that their palm now clasped each others ...

Gayatri sat inside the BMW , shock n fear gripping her... what's happening? Krishna let that sumitra attend the pooja ! n that too he himself went to call her! ... he , who hated her like anything!... what the hell is happening? ... oh no! what if the distance between mother n son diminishes ? ...what if sumitra starts influencing krshna n then sajjan like old days? What if she succeeds in convincing them that she didn't do anything in the past? That she knows who was the culprit? What if she succeeds in proving herself innocent n ...n showing them the truth? That it was her! His beloved didi who killed his mother n best friend ? n blamed her! N forced them all to live a life of painful torture!!! ... sajjan would just rip u apart with his bare hands! gayatri shuddered as a spine chilling tremor ran through her body... N krishna! She can't even think what he will do to her! No!...she will be begging for death at his feet! NO!... something must be done quickly! ...the girl must get those files fast so that they could move on to the sec phase of their plan ...kill krishna! ... with krishna gone , sajjan will be a vegetable! He won't stand the grief! ... then its all easy...! Yes! She must act fast, gayatri thought frantically, gulping down, darting fearful glances at sajjan ... Sajjan sat like a statue... what has happened so that krishna is suddenly talking to n even wanting sumitra by his side? ... he knew his son craved for his mother but...but... this was sudden! n that girl! ...she seemed happy when he went to call sumitra! Does this new development has anything to do with that girl? ... he shook his head, pain n anger filling him...

Chandu was feeling so happy that he didn't even notice the missed calls in his mobile until he reached the mandir... It was Geetha...'yes?' he answered , watching sumitra climb up the stairs , 3 steps behind sajjan ... 'finally! Got time to pick up my call... if u remember, u asked our help! ' Geetha snapped into the phone... chandu smiled into the phone...'alright! I have decided that I don't want a bickering reporter to do my job... I guess there r many who will do it without much a show off n earn their interview with KST !' ... 'what?...ok ...alright! ... i...just called u to say dinesh n I r going ahead with the plan...' Geetha gritted her teeth in irritation... chandu chuckled into the phone 'may I know what ur brilliant plan is...' ... 'no! ...u just wait n watch!...' teased Geetha , smiling n cut the phone... Chandu smirked , looking at the phone, although he was feeling apprehensive...hope whatever plan they have , it succeeds ...for one thing he has stopped feeling concerned towards Pratigya ...in a good way...as there seems nothing much to worry about her... If anything she is nothing less than happy!...n his brother too... he mused , as he came n stood beside sumitra n watched krishna n pratigya climbing up the pooja site , their shoulders caressing , their eyes darting over towards the tree , where it all started ...

Pratigya wondered about her life as she sat down near him for the pooja... some days ago she sat the same place doing another pooja, her mind n heart not at all in it, hating it, hating him!... but now! Everything changed ... she was feeling being part of the pooja, his family...his life!... krishna was thinking similarly ... he hated stuff like this! ... days ago he was so angry n lustful, wanting her under his feet so that he could humiliate her , have her enslaved to his bed as a mere toy , but...but...sitting here with her by side, even a silly stupidity like pooja has started to look good...yes! everything changed now!... he no longer wanted her as a slave or a maid...! All he wanted was ...her! ... As herself! ...her smile! ...her care... her...love?... he felt a jolt ...no! KST n want love?... he glanced at her , his eyes raking her face...so serene... so innocent... Her past actions n what she is doing now isn't matching up! ... She ...she called his mother to him when he wanted her n is she the same person who was going to use his mother's saari in that degrading manner? N she told him that his mother loves him, the same person who told him that his mother was right in wanting him dead?... he shook his head , trying clear it... What does she actually want? ... why is she torturing him? ... With her body n with her mind? ... Why can't she just show him what's in her heart?

Sajjan n sumitra kept shooting glances at each other when they were sure the other was not looking but they found that their eyes met much too often , anger n longing n pain in them... Sajjan sighed in relief as the pooja finally got over n they trooped back to the haveli... media were kept away as many VIPs were also coming as guests , chief minister was visiting n so many other distinguished guests ... Durjjan was also hosting holi celebrations along with shailendra at shailendra's residence n many guests would be visiting both houses... Sajjan busied himself with the guest list as soon as they reached the haveli n krishna watched sumitra going to her room, her face still dazed ...he slowly went up to his room, his mind disturbed... gayatri dragged pratigya aside , thrusting a beautiful white silk saari in her hands...'go change quickly n come down... the guests will be arriving soon... they will be asking for the bahu' !' she spat the last word mockingly n went away... pratigya looked at retreating back in dislike n went to his room... She found him relaxing on the couch, lost in thought ... she went straight to bathroom to change ...chandu knocked on the door n krishna looked up , arranging his face to inscrutable ... chandu placed his white kurta on the bed n smiled at him... 'I know u always escape during holi . but today u just can't... ur wound is still healing n doc said u must take rest... u could just come down for the benefit of the guests for sometime though... n yeah, Shankar called... madan is recovering fast n his wife is conscious now... he is saying that he wants to talk to u... may be we could go tmw?' ... krishna nodded ... 'bauji is waiting ... do come down fast...' chandu smiled n went out of the room... krishna slumped back , his thoughts revolving around the 2 women in his life...his mother n...her! he blinked ...pratigya had just stepped out of the bathroom, throwing back her hair , in a stunning white saari... Its official now! She is torturing him!... his eyes raked her even as she walked towards the mirror fully aware of his eyes on her , blushing... krishna was walking towards her even before he knew it... but before he could reach her , he looked up to hear hooting n whistling as the music started in the grounds below... distracted, he walked towards the balcony n sure enough , the guests had started arriving ...n the air was thick with flying colors... He hated holi , especially being around the crowd... But now! Now he was looking forward to it... all he could think was reliving the first part of last night's dream... Celebrating holi with her...! Relishing the feel of applying color over her!...every inch of her! He could feel his throat getting parched n arousal spreading like wild fire across his body... He smirked slyly as he walked to the room...to find it empty...! Where did she go? ...

A maid had called pratigya downstairs as the wives of many business men wanted to meet her ... she smiled at all of them awkwardly even as she saw him descending the stairs , in an immaculate white kurta, his eyes sweeping the hall, undoubtedly for her... their eyes met n she blushed crimson n the women giggled away... chandu hugged krishna , smearing color on his cheek n krishna was distracted ... he hugged chandu back , smiling n putting color over his cheek too... gayatri n pratap followed suit while angad watched in resentment ... krishna's eyes darted to the kitchen corridor n pratigya excused herself from the women n went near the curtain ... Sure enough sumitra was there in ghunghat n she smiled up at pratigya , smearing color on her cheeks ...'happy holi , my son's bride...' she gushed , squeezing pratigya's hand... pratigya smiled back , tears in her eyes as she too smeared holi color on sumitra's cheek, thinking about her mother...'happy holi ma.' She said , her voice choking ... Krishna watched the exchange out of the corner of his eyes, although from afar , his heart thundering... Gayatri dragged pratigya back to the centre of the hall towards him n made them sit on a couch ...'it's the newly weds' first holi n so...' she gushed offering krishna a laddoo... krishna took a bite n gayatri offered the rest to pratigya, smiling sweetly...krishna could feel his heart miss a beat as he turned to watch her ...pratigya ate it , her cheeks burning , her heart dancing...'ahem..ahem...did thakur sahib give his bride any gift?' said one women, pinching pratigya over her arm...'ofcourse he must have ... n he got his gift too...can't u see...poor thakur sahib... did she hit u with a vase ? i hope u didn't scare her or so ...' said another woman, n all squealed in laughter, indicating his the cotton over his forehead...' oh come on thakur sahib...lets escape from these women...' some young men , sons of politicians n businessmen , thumped krishna on shoulder n dragged him outside, chandu smirking behind him... 'arey...where r they taking him? He will want his wife with him !' shouted a middle aged woman to more laughter n pratigya was blushing in embarrassment ... 'lets all go outside...' suggested gayatri , smiling, n pratigya sighed in relief , slowly walking towards the exit ...

she reached the porch n ducked as an array of small holi balls hit her ...she heard familiar voices laughing n felt familiar hands hugging her ...she blinked in happiness...what? her friends! Here?... happy holi pratigya!' janet n malini squealed , even as Reshmi n anwar pelted her with more holi balls... ..'hey u here! she exclaimed in happiness... 'well...its holi...n we couldn't just celebrate it without u! ...u also that explosion in hotel! We were so worried!...so we decided to come here , although u r busy in ur honeymoon mood n didn't even phone us or invite us!' said janet, a little cross... ...'er...I...' pratigya began but anwar smiled 'don't worry dear... n we know we don't need invite to come here , but as avinashi here started with that big law firm , the invitation was extended to all employees n so he extended it a bit more to include us! '... ...'hmmm some haveli u r mailkin of.' Exclaimed janet , looking around the big house n the grounds... 'n tight security...! Understandable... with all those ministers n rich people n all...' said Reshmi, looking around... 'oh my...is that the chief minister!' exclaimed malini , craning her neck to take a better look... 'yeah...I ...' Pratigya began , feeling so happy to see her friends here ...but she stopped as she saw gayatri glaring at her from next to the fountain...'er...these r my friends, ma sahib...' she said , introducing them one by one ... gayatri looked at them as though they were some aliens n walked away ... 'does she have a toothache ?' 'eww... What kind of MIL u got?' her friends exclaimed n pratigya interrupted 'oh no...she is not my MIL! She is the elder sister of my...FIL..' she said awkwardly ... 'oh yeah remember ' malini nodded... ...'where is ur thakur sahib?' asked janet excitedly , looking around... 'er... I don't know... There r many guests ... so may be... he is busy...' pratigya said , feeling a bit sad... 'right! so guys u could go looking for thakur sahib... we want a word with pratigya here...' maya winked at akash n anwar n dragged pratigya towards a less crowded spot in the garden...

'what?' pratigya asked , flustered ... she knew what was coming... 'u escaped that day ! but not now dear' said Reshmi , holding pratigya by arm... 'yeah, tells us in detail how was it...see I need to get tips from u... my family is thinking about my marriage...' malini said , trying to look serious... pratigya tried to glare at them , but all she could do was blush ... 'its been a whole week n don't tell us he has been too busy u guys didn't quite do it yet!...come on pratigya!' said janet, starting to tickle her... 'ouh...no..pls...no...i...' laughed pratigya , trying to avoid their hands...'then come on..tell us na...pls...' giggled maya, still holding pratigya by arm... all pratigya could do was blush further , squirming , n her friends rolled their eyes at her n then at each other ...' right , don't tell... I will tell the boys to ask ur thakur sahib... u see men usually don't have this problem of discussing these matter with friends...!' said janet, pouting ... pratigya looked up at her , horrified 'no! ...don't ... I mean...' ...'ha! then tell us...' malini said , giggling ...'what's there to tell?' mumbled pratigya, looking for an escape route... 'well, to start with , u two seemed in a hurry to get out my house that day... so! Start from there! ' asked malini , excitedly ... Pratigya smiled in a silly manner at her , even as the events in the car n sensations in the lift n then inside his apartment bombarded her ... N the pain ... but oddly she found that her mind only liked to linger on the happy moments ... not the painful ones...' there she goes blushing again...!' janet clicked her tongue ... 'ufff pratigya... I will be more explicit... Did u made it to ur apartment or ...' She trailed off, to giggles from all n pratigya giggled too , shaking her head at the memory as she said 'no... we were in the lift n ...he...' she stopped abruptly , turning scarlet ... her friends squealed , their hands automatically slackening around pratigya as they covered their mouths to suppress the giggles n pratgya just ran , her body shivering deliciously ...

Meanwhile krishna was feeling agitated , his eyes seeking her , as many shook his hands n started talking to him , mainly business in general... he wasn't listening ... chandu stood next to him , n shiv hovered around him as a body guard ... young men , mainly son's of businessmen dragged him to the bhang drums n he politely declined, irritation n frustration simmering inside him... He just wanted her! ... He threw an agitated look at chandu n chandu stepped in ...'sorry guys, as u can see krishna is not well... he had been advised total rest for a day n so pls understand... krishna sighed in suppressed frustration as the men left n turned to walk towards the haveli ... where the hell is she?... 'happy holi, thakur sahab...' greeted akash n anwar , smiling broadly ... 'sorry ... He is not well n...'chandu began , holding out his hand in front of krishna as akash made to smear holi color over krishna... krishna stopped chandu , trying to hide his excitement ...so she is here somewhere! ...'no chandu ..they're friends... I mean..her friends...' He said , smiling... Krishna glared at them as chandu raised his eyebrow n shiv suppressed a smirk... ... 'alright ! enjoy!' chandu winked at krishna n smiled at akash n anwar n went away...' happy holi guys!' krishna greeted them warmly , shaking hands n hugging them...'yeah, what happened , thakur sahib?' akash enquired , looking at his forehead...' oh..! just an accident...' krishna brushed it off ...'where r the others ?' he asked casually ... 'there , near the fountain , I think...'smiled anwar as he led the way...

'aah...' pratigya collided n fell into krishna's arms , who was approaching them, as she tried to run from near her friends ... Krishna held her by her waist , her hands along his shoulders , their eyes locked , even as the girls oohed n aahed n anwar whistled ... krishna smirked slightly , moving his hand along her waist slightly over to the bare part not covered in sari, smearing the color from his fingers across it naughtily ... pratigya's eyes twitched in shyness as she shivered n stood straight abruptly , writhing out his arms, praying to god that nobody saw what just happened , her breath escalating, a tingling sensation lingering over her body... Apparently , nobody noticed it as they were all busy laughing at pratigya's flustered n blushing face...' if u don't mind thakur sahab, could u pls join us for a while...' Requested malini , smiling at krishna... 'oh yes! Ofcourse ...' Krishna smiled , his eyes on pratigya... 'so still no honeymoon, thakur sahab, busy much ?' akash laughed as they sat down in a circle in one corner of the garden , pratigya directly opposite krishna ... Krishna just smirked , his eyes never leaving pratigya, who was finding the relentless staring quite unnerving n yet pleasurable... sajjan , who had casually looked around was surprised to find krishna sitting on the grass ... what?... KST n on grass? He was distracted by a politician ... akash smiled as he said...' I hope u don't mind thakur sahab...the MD of my law firm was invited n so he kind of extended the invitation to employees n when I told the others they wanted to meet pratigya ,n so...' krishna cut him short with a smile ...'hey ...no problem ...'

...'my law firm..' mimicked janet... as if he has been working there since years! He just joined ! what , 2 days?' ... all laughed , pratigya , coiling n uncoiling her pallu in nervousness as krishna's eyes never left her ...'for ur info 3 days!' snapped akash but all laughed again, this time pratigya n krishna too joining in with smiles... akash huffed n pratigya asked , just to distract herself from krishna...' leave it... how's work?' ... akash smiled in enthusiasm 'have just started ! as all said' he chuckled n continued ...'just studying closed cases ... as of now!' he added as all giggled ...'n pratigya u won't believe , so many interesting cases in the closed ones itself... u know many cases got closed on the first day of investigation itself ! ... n many of files disappears like ...whoom!... my senior told me that they r the devil's files! Interesting name isn't it...?' he laughed , taking many bhang glasses n bottles from the tray a servant served...' yeah, n apt name too... it has to b the devil's files ...to disappear in just one day!' maya laughed n others joining in... pratigya blanched , her eyes darting to meet krishna's whose face was casual, smiling ... Was akash talking about anything related to krishna? No! u r just being paranoid! May be that's what they call at his firm generally for files which r made to disappear ... or what if it was something to do with krishna? Will akash find out? What will her friends think of her when they find out the real identity of him? What will they think when they know that she being a lawyer n not to mention who hates criminals , is madly , irrecoverably in love with the devil?...no! ...

... 'hey pratigya ? where r u?...pls don't get drowned in ur thakur sahab's eyes!...' she heard janet laugh, slapping her on her thigh... pratigya tried to smile , her face tensed ... 'looks like she isn't liking the seating arrangements' laughed anwar , who was sitting to the right of krishna ... pratigya blushed inspite of herself n her eyes met krishna's ... krishna was thoroughly enjoying ...they all looked up as the music changed n dancers took to the ground... Pratigya turned her face away in dislike as meera could b seen in the front , dancing... Inspite of herself she darted a glance at krishna to know if he was looking at the dancers but she lowered her eyes abruptly to find his eyes on her only...she couldn't help but smile...'who is that? Very beautiful girl!' exclaimed akash , craning his neck to watch ...'er... I ...I don't know!' pratigya stammered , not knowing what to say... 'come on lets play some game...' maya said , winking at all... game? His mind reeled back to the extremely sensuous game they played at the party... 'would u pls join us thakur sahab?' said Reshmi , pouring bhang in all glasses ...'ofcourse n call me krishna...' krishna smiled , his eyes on pratigya... 'right krishnaji' said Reshmi awkwardly... 'As we r guests , we think we will allow the first chance to the hosts, what say?' giggled janet... all roared their approval n pratigya looked around at them , horrified n krishna smirked at her ... 'no...I mean..' pratigya began but malini shoved down a laddoo into her mouth , winking ...'no dear, u can't escape this time...' ... 'so thakur sah... I mean krishnaji...if u could pls come n sit forward to the centre , ah yes...' said anwar politely ... 'n u too pratigya...' akash said , offering a glass of bhang to krishna who took it n sipped it, his eyes on her... Pratigya , who had a nagging suspicion that her friends had everything planned beforehand , came forward n sat directly infront of krishna , gulping down in nervousness... 'the game is simple really...' giggled janet...'u have to look into each other's eyes n whoever blinks first will loose ...' said maya, struggling to keep a straight face ... pratigya's eyes widened in alarm n shyness...what? already she is behaving like a fool around him n they r telling her to what?...but she could feel butterflies in her stomach, excitement to go on...'n whoever loses will have to do what we tell them to do, ok?' said maya, smiling...pratigya felt her head spinning...oh no! they r setting her up!...

krishna smacked his lips , finishing one glass of bhang n gave the empty glass to maya who took it politely , n leaned across to a startled n shy pratigya, his one hand casually caressing her colored left cheek... 'bhang n ur eyes... lethal combination! Just what I need...I hope ur friends have enough sense to make u do something which I could relish'... He whispered in her ear , deliberately brushing his lips roughly across her lobe ...pratigya shivered , her breath hitching n heart beat sky rocketing ...her friends stared at them , trying to suppress their awkward giggles, although they couldn't really see or hear what krishna was doing or saying as her face hid his mouth from their view... Krishna enjoyed the way she shivered n smirked against her ear...'as I know n u know it too , u will lose ...! Hmmm... I can't wait to find out what they will make u do for me...!' krishna whispered huskily n darted his tongue out to flick across the underside of her earlobe , before withdrawing n sitting back like an innocent child...pratigya had bit her lower lips to suppress a moan, but she couldn't suppress the giggle , her eyes wildly staring at him, suddenly finding difficulty in breathing...he is trying to kill her!...'ahem ahem..' janet cleared her throat ...'may we know what did our jijaji say that u r trying to bite ur lip into half?' she said to pratigya n all giggled in laughter... no way she is going to play along with them! ...with him! ...oh he thinks that she will lose! She will show him that ...that...that she will lose ! no! ...I won't!... pratigya seethed inside herself , glaring at her friends...bec she can't glare at him!...

'ok on the count of 3!'...yelled anwar, swallowing a full glass of bhang n sitting down in a more comfortable position... oh no! I am not ready! Thought pratigya frantically but her friends had started counting ...she looked anywhere but at krishna who was smiling at her ...'3!' she heard them but more than that she heard him calling her 'pratigya..' ... she looked up automatically , her eyes locked on to his... the last thought that crossed her mind before she let herself drown in his eyes was that she was done for!... Krishna n pratigya was soon lost in each others eyes while her friends looked at both of them, drinking bhang mechanically , giggling n in wonder ... Krishna could feel that happy feeling of free fall which he loved so much , n pratigya could see what was pure love in his eyes ... N she reveled in it... angad n meera stood , some distance away , shock n tension n jealousy in their faces ... 'what did I tell u to do?' angad snarled at meera , anger n jealousy in his voice ... 'don't worry ...malik ... I will get that bitch for u...' said meera , her face contorted in loathing ... she took out the special bhang bottle angad had given her n placed it on a tray n took it towards the circle where all were seated ... She stood close to maya , carrying the tray , looking for an opening to place the tray there n thinking how to get pratigya drink it... while Krishna's eyes which was turning a shade darker with every passing moment , his eyes boring into pratigya's in undiluted desire which was making pratigya struggle for breath ... but she held on , telling her heart not to give in or else she will loose... But all her defenses tumbled down as Krishna smiled crookedly , his eyes raking over her cheeks n then over her slightly trembling lips n then shot up to meet her eyes once again , a cute glint in them... pratigya lowered her eyes , blushing furiously ... They looked around startled as akash wolf whistled n all clapped , janet shouting 'u lost ! pratigya!'... giggling , their faces embarrassed ... pratigya just sat there , trying to get her heart to beat normally as Krishna chuckled , winking at her friends ... he can't wait to find out what would they make her to do ...

the girls came over n sat near pratigya , gently slapping her along her back n arms n thighs , giggling away ...'oh gosh! That was hot!' malini giggled , slurring as the effect of bhang had started to show ... 'hmmm... Thakur sahib, r u letting our pratigya sleep at all ?' giggled janet , hiccoughing ... All laughed drunkenly , n pratigya looked at them in half irritation n half shyness ... Krishna smiled ...'so what's her punishment?' he asked not bothering to keep the naughtiness out of his voice n pratigya shivered ... 'oooh... So eager!!' said maya , trying to decide ...'she must dance , what say?' said reshmi n all roared in approval , in drunken voices ...' no! ' pratigya said , her voice strong, painful , suddenly painful images bombarding her mind... how he had asked her to dance like a wh**e in front of the world! How he had thrown her gughroo over the floor!...how he had malingned the sacredness of it... Her painful eyes met krishna's confused ones ...he had heard the underlying note of pain in her voice ... what was she thinking? He searched her eyes , suddenly concerned ... 'what? U won't dance?' exclaimed akash , his voice shaking ... 'yeah, what pratigya? That's the rule ! u would do whatever we tell u to do! ... n we tell u to dance! ... come on!' maya said , patting pratigya on her arm... 'no...! ... Pls... I ... I can't...' pratigya said , her face pained , tears threatening to spill from her eyes ...why r u denying pratigya? Why? ...she asked herself...its ur friends asking to u dance! N that too on holi! ... but ...but ...him! He had degraded her gunghroo that day! N also degraded her that day ! ... She realized with a jolt that the pain ran too deep in her heart...that time it was anger n revulsion! But now...it was pure raw pain! ...the realization that may be she is still a wh**e in the eyes of the man she loved!!!... 'come on pratigya! This is not done!' janet stood up n started pulling her by arm, forcing her to get up...'no ..pls janet... I ...I don't ...' pratigya said , trying to loosen her grip n felt janet's grip loosen around her n felt herself secured in his arms ... she looked up , startled ...'if u don't want to dance... Its alright!...' Krishna said , his arms around her , his voice calm ... He was confused n concerned to see her pained face ... What happened to her suddenly?...n in any ways its good she don't want to dance...! she is his! N his only! ... she will dance for him only! Not for the whole world! ... he saw her eyes dilate in happiness n disbelief ...pratigya stared in happiness at him , her eyes moist ... She could feel the pain recede , her heart feeling lighter ...

'oh! Alright! If thakur sahib says so...' slurred anwar, his voice highly disappointed ... 'its really unfair pratigya ! u lost! N as per the rule u must do whatever we say to u!...' pouted malini n all hummed n groaned in agreement ... krishna came out of her eyes as he looked around , smiling ...'hey , she said she won't dance ... u could make her do other things!...' he winked at them , his fingers playing with her back waist ... Pratigya writhed out of his grip , suddenly shy n apprehensive ... Oh no! he has some plan up his sleeve , she though frantically , forgetting all about dance n all... 'yeah!' all roared their approval, showing tenga to pratigya ... Maya looked around n saw meera lurking nearby ...'hey , pls bring that tray'... meera came there , her head bowed n maya took some bottles from the tray , including the special one... 'u r going to drink bhang!' maya announced n all jumped up , cornering pratigya ... Krishna's eyes turned darker ... her n bhang! Just what he needed ! ... Pratigya who had gasped wildly at the suggestion , shook her head frantically ...'no! no way! U guys know I don't drink bhang...' ... 'no !not again!' whined her friends ... 'this is not just done pratigya! U don't want to dance ! its ok! But u just can't say no to everything we say ! so what u don't drink bhang! ...its holi! ...n it's the rule ! u lost! U got away from the dance thing just bec thakur sahib said so ... but not now...!' janet looked at Krishna for support , her voice slurring ... Krishna smiled slyly , taking a bottle from maya's hand n walking towards pratigya , n pratigya inhaled sharply , taking a step back , hr eyes half horrified n half pleading , but a curious excitement running along her body ... what's the problem in trying ? no! ... Krishna offered her the bottled of bhang n all shouted in glee , meera looking disappointed as it was the wrong bottle... Anagd , who was watching the whole scene from afar , gnashed his teeth in frustration ...

'pls... I ...I don't think Krishna...' pratigya stammered , but her voice was doubting , undecided n slightly giggly ... She could feel n increasing urge to try it out! ... What's the problem! Even he drank it...! May be she could just taste it... 'u r going to drink it pratigya! ' Krishna said , thrusting the bottle in her hands , his eyes gleaming in desire ... She shivered even as she heard her friends started clapping n said 'yeah ...u will drink it! Now ur thakur sahib also said! ...drink it...' malini shouted ... pratigya , resigned , her hands trembling n her body shivering , opened the bottle n slowly looked up to meet his eyes ... the expectation n lust she could see there made her shudder... 'pls... no...' she tried to say , stammering n suddenly nervous, but mailini n rehmi made to come forward even as Krishna smirked at her... 'alright! Alright!' she said n took a deep breath ... She will just taste it! What's the problem in just tasting it? N his eyes!... He seemed to be having some plan up his sleeve! No! she won't let him thwart her again! ... She will just taste it n then throw the bottle away ! they can't tell her that she did wrong as she fulfilled the rule! Yes! ... pratigya brought the bottle to her mouth n her nose inhaled the strong smell ... she grimaced, a sudden feeling of vomiting chocking her n she shuddered , the bottled falling from her hands as she exclaimed 'Yuck!! ...' ... The bottle smashed to the ground even as her friends shouted in disappointment n also that she is a cheater ... she looked up at Krishna , feeling half relieved that now she won't have to drink it ... but his eyes were glinting in amusement ...'u really shouldn't have done that' he whispered , his right hand closing around the other bottle in maya's hand even as he lunged at her ... angad n meera exchanged looks of glee as it was the special bottle ...

Hope u liked it 😳
