Kabir, Anushka and Angad on way to Maarwa.

Kabir is driving quietly with Angad sitting next to him and looking out of the window with a sad-romeo expression. Anushka has royally settled in the backseat , propped herself in red silk cushions – legs up – her silver heels glimmering in the dark –and eyes settled on a book. There is absolute silence in the car and Kabir finds himself looking back at Anushka again and again in the rear view mirror. He smiles at the sight of Anushka's unusually beautiful hands – slender sculpted fair long fingers with perfectly painted red nails. Kabir loved looking at her hands – strange, yeah but he found them very kind. Kabir suddenly cleared his throat.

Kabir ( changing gears )- Are we all going to take an exam?

Angad – What?

Anushka ( peeping from behind the book )- What?

Kabir ( putting on some music with a smile )- Well, the silence , the tight air and own tangents of thought. It did seem like that pre-exam anxiety.

Anushka ( laughs and sits up straight )- You are not too wrong , dude. Educating those villagers about importance of education and hygiene stuff is gonna be a tough job.

Angad ( sadly)- What will I teach anyone, ppl? I guess I will just be writing love letters to my Ruhi….sigh.

Anushka ( rolls her eyes )- Love bug! You kids should be concentrating on your studies and your career ahead. Teenagers!

Kabir ( amused )- Madam, you are talking as though you are ancient and we are kids in knickers with mixed fruit lollipops in our hands.

Anushka ( very seriously )- Of course, Kabir. I am a 500 year old witch… ( flutters her red nailed fingers dramatically ) ….

Angad ( gulps )- Anushka, we are passing through a jungle. Is it necessary to scare the living hell out of us?

Anushka laughs out loud and at that instant , in the bright light of headlights , the trio sees a plethora of women in huge robes and unruly long hair pass from front of the car – OUT OF NOWHERE!

Kabir ( losing control )- OH SHIT!

Angad ( screams )- Who the hell are they!

Anushka instantly chants something hard – her eyes glowing the colour of amber and the car screeches to a halt on it's own with all of them screaming. There is a pin drop silence as the three of them catch their breath. Anushka bites her lip and curses herself. Catching his breath, Kabir looks up from the steering wheel while Angad still has his face covered with her hands. Anushka gets down from the car , followed by Kabir.

Anushka ( looking around and taking everything lightly )- Damn you, Kabir! You scared the living hell out of those poor crossing women!

Kabir grabs Anushka's arm and swings her around to face him. Anushka can read doubt and fear in his yes.

Kabir ( looking into her eyes )- It is not funny, Anushka! Poor crossing women?

Angad also gets down from the car and looking around in horror huddles close to Kabir.

Angad ( his voice shaky)- You've got to be drunk, Anushka! They were… they were not some poor crossing women! Didn't you look at them? Those robes and those ghostly hair. What kind of women roam in jungles like that?

Kabir ( his head reeling)- And … and my car , dude! I swear I didn't pull the brakes and the car stopped on it's own. What the hell just happened….( looks at Anushka with narrowed eyebrows)… and what were you doing with those chants? I saw you in the rear view mirror. You were not scared or shocked – there was something else on your face!

Anushka ( throwing up her hands in anger )- KABIR! Has the jungle air done something to this head of yours? LOOK AROUND YOURSELF. There is nobody! They were just travelers , man!

Kabir ( unconvinced )- Get in the car , both of you. And you, Anushka… ( sternly )….me and Angad went to different schools of logic! They were NOT travelers and I know that there was a greater force that stopped the car! I sound stupid but that is true!

Kabir and Angad get inside the car but Anushka keeps standing outside – looking angry , hurt and the witch in her evoked.

Kabir ( losing patience )- Anushka, stop behaving like a child and get inside the car.

Anushka keeps standing with her arms crossed across her chest. She looks sulky and stubborn. Kabir keeps honking the horn but Anushka doesn't move.

Angad ( requesting her )- Anush! Come on , ya. Get in. This place is the last spot where you should be playing tantrum-tantrum!

Anushka ( nose up in the air )- I am not throwing tantrums, Angad! I am talking logic while the two of you are imagining Lord Of The Rings here with a dash of Harry Potter.

Kabir ( glares at her )- Are you getting in or not?

Anushka ( pouts )- Maarwa is exactly 70 kms from you and I can reach on my own!

Kabir turns off the ignition and gets down from the car as Angad watches.

Kabir ( muttering to himself )- Blood speaks ! Abhay Raichand part 2…. ( threatening her)… Anushka, don't test my patience.

Anushka doesn't respond and keeps standing rooted to the spot. Shaking his head and cribbing to himself, Kabir bends and picks up Anushka like a feather in his arms. Angad's jaw hangs in surprise as an astonished Anushka blinks her big amber eyes at him.

Anushka ( struggling )- Kabir! Are you nuts? Put me down!

Kabir ( holding her tighter and jerking her to stop struggling )- Shut up! You are not the only one who can be stubborn and unreasonable!

Anushka looks at him and is momentarily touched by the feel of Kabir's heartbeat right under her right palm. Kabir too, is touched by this feeling of warmth that he feels holding Anushka in his arms- she really was the stuff that princesses in fairytales are made of – delicate , pure and fiery with those amber doe eyes shining on an alabaster skin. Then, he just breaks away from her eyes and makes her sit in the car. As Angad observes the obvious chemistry , Kabir starts the car with a pensive expression on his face and drives away. Snapped out of Kabir's trance , Anushka rests her head at the backseat and curses herself in the darkness where Kabir and Angad cannot see her troubled expressions.

Anushka ( cursing herself )- DAMN ME! Why did I do that movement of my fingers and voiced myself as a witch! The whole coven of witches came running as though I had summoned them. Kabir is just confused and if I hadn't fought with him , he would have prodded deeper! …. ( looks at his sullen face in the mirror and feels bad)… I am sorry , Kabir but you just can't know what you shouldn't know….

Angad ( observing Kabir and having this huge grin on his face)- Aha, so he likes the Raichand chick. Wait a second. Does he even know that he likes Anushka………or is she someone he is liking and getting attached to on the rebound from Piya.

Kabir , his thoughts in a frenzy and the feminine fragrance of Anushka rising from his clothes. He looks back at Anushka in the mirror and the ravishing witch has dozed off to sleep – her face resting on her delicate beautiful hands. Kabir smiles…………

Abhay, Sambhav, Piya, Misha , Tracker, Danish en route to Irugarh.

Danish is driving the car with a sullen and disturbed expression on his face. Tracker is smiling like a stupid schoolgirl listening to music on her I pod while blinking her eyes at the moon outside. Misha has dozed off to sleep on Sambhav's shoulder and so has Sambhav resting his cheek on her soft head. In the last backseat, Abhay is reading a book in reading light while Piya is just looking at him with her chin resting on her knuckles. She has this small smile on her lips as her eyes glow with the love that she feels for Abhay.

Abhay ( turning a page and without moving his eyes )- Stop staring at me, Piya. Go to sleep.

Piya ( smiles )- I like staring at you, Abhay.

Abhay ( gives her a side look )- Am I your new hobby? …( before she can open her mouth )… and DON'T profess your love for me all over again. PUHLEASE.

Piya ( smirks )- You are scared.

Abhay ( raising an eye brow )- Excuse me? Scared? Me?

Piya ( nicely settling her head onto a cushion)- Yes. You are scared that you are going to fall in love with me and you have no idea what you are gonna do with that " Stay away from me" and " I don't love you,Piya" crap of yours.

Abhay ( getting irritated )- Piya Jaiswal. I am not going to fall in love with you , so stop jumping to flash forward. And trust me , you are lucky that I don't love you!

Piya ( makes a dramatic sad face )- I don't want such luck, Abhay. And my future is in flash forward with you. Seriously.

Abhay puts the book down and gives Piya a hard look. Innocent, pretty besotted Piya with her big baby brown eyes , her virgin mouth and her skin that didn't glow with health or raised haemoglobin – but with Abhay's name and the feeling of love that she felt for him. Piya! Don't look at me like that. Just stop looking at me like that! You make me want to hope , live and love again. Which is just not to be, Piya. I am going to break your heart – I am destined to break your heart, Piya. We cannot be in love – there is nothing but death and devastation for you in my world. And am not willing to stake my heart again to the same face again.

Abhay ( losing temper)- Piya, don't give me those eyes. Look away.

Piya ( grins )- Ever heard about fundamental rights , Abhay?

Abhay grits his teeth and grabbing Piya's head pulls her closer – within inches of his face- Piya's brown pools getting lost in Abhay's ice blue concentric circles.

Abhay ( gritting his teeth )- Piya!

Piya looks at Abhay's face with a smile and her eyes never leaving the sight of his eyes. She lifts her hand and putting it on Abhay's harshly handsome face , she closes her eyes and feels his face – her fingers traversing his forehead , his cheekbones, his nose , his lips and his chin. Abhay just looks at her glowing face , his own face going soft and pensive. Piya opens her eyes and her eyes seem to glitter with tears that one can only see in the eyes of woman truly, madly and deeply in love. Abhay is speechless as Piya sweeps Abhay's hair aside from his forehead lovingly with her fingers.

Piya ( whispers )- You can only feel sorry for breaking my heart , Abhay . You cannot change my heart.

Abhay has this urge to stop the car and get down from it . Get down and run – run away to the end of the world where his heart wouldn't force him to give Piya a chance – where he wouldn't be forced to acknowledge and accept the difference between Piya and Maithili.

Just then, Danish pulls the brakes with full force and Abhay jolts out of his thoughts. He lets go off Piya's head and recovers from his emotional trouble . Piya just looks away and doesn't let tears of rejection fall out of her eyes.

Abhay ( taking his anger out on Danish )- Danish! Have you forgotten to drive or what?

Sambhav opens his eyes – looking like a baby just rudely woken up. It takes him a few moments to re-orient himself to his surroundings. He finds his cheek resting above a soft tuft of black curls – the fragrance of cherry blossom and grapefruit lighting his senses. With Misha asleep on his broad shoulder blade , her nose is right under his neck – her warm breathing giving him an adrenaline rush that he realizes now. She has her arm around his waist and her fingers on his bare arm. Sambhav gets his signature smirk but it is softer this time. He bends and kisses the tip of Misha's nose and the heat of his breath wakes her up with a start.

Sambhav ( whispers )- Wake up, my pile-on-stalker-sleeping beauty….

Danish ( looks back )- We have arrived at the Irugarh guesthouse, Abhay. There was an animal crossing , so the brakes were harsh. Sorry about that. Let's get down.

Without a second look at Piya, Abhay gets down from the car. Misha pulls away from Sambhav as Tracker , half asleep gets down from the car with Danish.

Misha ( going beetroot on realizing that she had slept on Sambhav )- Ewwww! Did I sleep on you?

Sambhav ( adjusting his vest and rolling his eyes )- Well, even though your dream was to sleep WITH me, I gave you a consolation prize by letting you sleep ON me.

Misha ( grabbing Sambhav by his vest straps )- SAMBHAV!

Sambhav ( to an amused Piya )- Piya, will you, like , just stop smiling and get this stalker molestor off my neck!

Piya ( jerking Misha's hands away from Sambhav )- Misha! Come on now, will you, Just let Sam be , okay? You've sprained his shoulders already.

Sambhav throws Piya a flying kiss and they both get down from the car , leaving Misha fuming.

Misha ( getting down)- Acting cute is so not gonna work, Sambhav. Abhay and Piya cannot save or hide you.

Taking out their luggage from the car , the six of them approach the guesthouse where they are supposed to be stationed for the next 5 days. As they approach the guesthouse, the rickety door of the compound opens and an old man comes out holding a lantern.

Tracker ( yawning )- He is the caretaker, I guess. I hope he has something for us to eat.

Old man ( coming to them )- Hello kids. Volunteers from Mount College?

Abhay ( nods and hands over the papers to him)- Yes. Here are the official papers of registration from the college. You can submit them at the welfare office tomorrow.

Caretaker ( taking them and leading the group into the ghostly guesthouse )- Sure, sure. I had asked your friend for the same but she said that you were bringing them along.

The group stops in their tracks at this.

Sambhav ( surprised )- Friend?

Abhay ( confused )- I am sorry but there is some mistake. It is just the 5 of us and my employee Danish with permission.

Caretaker ( confused and pointing upwards to the balcony )- Then…. Then…. Who is she?

They all look up and in the illumination of yellow lamps , they all see Tanushree perched on the balcony , smiling at them but not meeting Abhay's eyes. Everyone is stunned. Abhay, Sambhav and Piya exchange knowing shocked terror glances.

Abhay – T……………..

T climbs down the wooden ladder and meets them with a big smile.

T ( a disturbing change in her body language )- Hello people.

Tracker ( jealous of T's strapless black dress and black velvet shoes )- What are you doing here, T?

Sambhav ( scanning her )- I don't remember having you in our group.

T ( shrugs )- Call up the college authorities , dude. Bi and Joya have… ( looks meaningfully at Abhay and Piya )…. Suddenly gone to their hometown and that left just the two of us – me and Natasha. So, we suggested the committee to send me to you guys and Natasha to Kabir's group.

Abhay ( stunned )- What? Natasha is headed to Kabir's group?

T ( nods )- Yes.

Caretaker ( clearing his throat )- Will you all come inside so that I can show you all your rooms and get dinner ready ?

They all understand that this is no situation to discuss anything with Misha and Tracker being with them who knew nothing at all. Abhay gives T a warning look and so does Sam. She makes a sorry and helpless face , quickly transforming her look from a dark bitch to a victim.

They enter the guest house – it is a cozy little place with woodwork all over – basic furniture but well-maintained and all amenities fixed.

Caretaker ( pointing )- The room of the boys is on the groundfloor – go straight. And all you girls will put up together on the first floor – there is one large room and all you four girls have been put together in there. Go up , freshen up and change. I will get the dinner ready – but you all have to cook for yourselves from tomorrow onwards.

Sambhav ( thumbs up )- Sure , comrade. That is what we are paying Mount College for.

Abhay ( patting Sambhav's back )- Why not, Sam? The girls oughta know what a fantastic cook you are.

Misha ( taunts him)- Actually, true. Show us some talent, Sam. I mean you should know more than flexing muscles, right?

Piya presses Misha's hand to shut her up while T closely observes the gestures and conversations between Abhay, Piya and Sambhav.

Sambhav ( going towards the boys' room )- You wouldn't want to know my talents, Misha Dobriyaal.

Abhay ( in a warning tone to Misha )- Misha!

He doesn't say more and goes behind Sambhav. Piya pulls a belligerent Misha towards the girls' room.

Danish ( darkly )- Too many sparks. I guess you guys are gonna have a hell lot of fireworks on this trip.

T ( with a faraway look in her eyes )- Who knows…………

Bonfire , outside the guesthouse, Irugarh.

The caretaker has made a huge bonfire outside the guesthouse. Wooden tables and chairs have been put out. Tracker and Piya are arranging food on the tables , helping the caretaker. T is sitting all alone in a corner , looking at the fire and her mind at work. Tracker is looking at T again and again and nudging Piya who is cleaning plates and spoons and laying them on the table.

Tracker ( softly )- Pipu, doesn't T…..appear a little different from her usual dumb haughty self? Just look at her hard face – I would rather date a lion at this hour than go and touch her in this mood.

Piya looks at T and doesn't know how to feel about her at this point.

Flash: A vampire T charging towards Piya and injuring Abhay fatally.

Piya ( looking back at the plates)- Maybe she is sorting something out , in her…..mind.

On the other hand, Danish has disappeared behind the car , as if escaping everyone's eye. Misha is pacing about in the compound – looking at the door of the guesthouse again and again. Her mind is at work as she has a knife in her hand – or rather a dagger. She is waiting for Sambhav to come out and the decisive look on her face says that she has something up her sleeve. Abhay and Sambhav had still not come out of the guesthouse as everyone waited for them to come for dinner.

Piya ( looking at her wrist watch )- What's with these guys? Do they intend to eat dinner for breakfast? It is 1am already, humph.

Just then, Abhay and Sambhav appear and are seen descending the steps of the guesthouse. Abhay looks at Piya who is looking back at him – she looks a cute bunny in her floral spaghetti and red knee length pajamas. Abhay looks relaxed in a black T and cotton track pants. Sambhav , of course has something against clothes , so he is all cool in a yellow vest and denim shorts.

Abhay looking at Piya , his eyes rounding her up passes by her and goes to T , who is sitting all alone on a bench , fighting an internal battle. Piya narrows her eyebrows and almost stamps a bowl of rice on the table as she can clearly see that Abhay is ignoring her – and why T? Did Abhay forget that she almost killed him? Sambhav comes rushing to the table and whistling to himself , he starts serving himself as a fluttery eyed Tracker looks on. His eyes are darting back to Misha over and over who is , all of a sudden , cutting salad with her back towards Sambhav. He can sense that something is not right about this quiet and suddenly-domesticated Misha.

Sambhav ( whispering to Piya )- Did you hit that chick's head with a saucepan or something? Cutting salad ?

Piya ( equally surprised )- Sambhav , she cannot tell the difference between a cucumber and a gourd. I have no idea what has come over her.

As Piya is talking to Sambhav , her eyes are meandering to Abhay and T who seems to be having a serious talk with T.

Abhay ( looking at the fire)- I can no longer read your mind, T. So, I have to depend on what you tell me. How are you handling it?

T ( looking at the fire and across at Sambhav )- BAD. I almost killed you and Piya . You needn't ask. I should be apologizing but am not guilty, Abhay… ( makes a near tears face )….i guess the Bolshva blood or rather huraan is taking over.

Abhay ( takes a deep breath and feels being watched by Piya )- Yeah, Huraan is taking over , T. Retain your sanity.

T ( shakes her head )- Can't. I might as well ask Sam to kill me.

Before Abhay can say anything, Misha who was cutting salad screams and puts her hands over her eyes. She is squealing and jumping up and down in pain. Everyone rushes to her , with Sambhav being the first one to reach her.

Sambhav ( alarmed )- MISHA! What happened to you?

Piya ( worried )- Misha , are you, like, okay?

Misha ( sobbing )- Green chilies ! I touched my eyes with green chili hands!

Abhay ( screaming to the care taker)- GET SOME COLD WATER, WILL YOU! QUICK!

Sambhav turns her around to see her eyes and as he does so , Misha , pretending to hop and panic in the pain slashes Sambhav's arm , making his hot blood spurt and gush to the knife. Sambhav looks at his arm and then, at Misha. Without a second thought , he takes Misha's hands away from her eyes and wiping the water from her eyes , blows into her eyes gently. Misha , taken aback by his gentle gesture for a few seconds, just blinks her doe eyes at him.

Sambhav ( meaningfully )- Does it hurt?

Misha shakes her head, holding on to the knife that had Sambhav's blood now. Abhay pats her back and throwing off the salad plate from her hands , he washes her face with the cold water and pours it on her hands. He is lecturing her on being trying to act all domesticated and she is seeing that Sambhav is looking at her with an expression that is making her squirm. T ,who is unable to take the sight of blood on Sam's arm , turns on her heels and runs inside the guesthouse, her fangs forming and her pupils dissolving.

Piya ( looks at Sambhav's cut arm)- Oucch, Sam. Misha cut you! Let me bandage this , come on.

Sambhav ( deeply )- She is trying to cut me.

Abhay looks at Sambhav at this and Sambhav looks back at him as Misha slips the bloodied knife in her pocket. But before anyone can say anything further , the moon starts disturbing Sambhav and he and Abhay both realize . The clock is nearing 2am. Sambhav looks at Abhay , alarmed. It was the time of his transformation.

Sambhav ( backing away into the woods )- I…. I will just be back!

Piya ( calling after him in surprise )- SAMBHAV! Where are you going at this time!

Abhay keeps a hand on Piya's shoulder and their eyes meet. He looks at her and being 'connected' , she understands. Sambhav was going to deal with the monster in him. Piya and Abhay turn to go into the guesthouse and to their utter shock, Misha is no longer on the chair….

Abhay ( realizing )- DAMN YOU, MISHA!

TO BE CONTINUED…………….

Res!

-EDITED-

My mind is still spinning with what I read. I can't even think straight right now, let alone form words to comment. I'm gonna be right back, after reading it once more! =)

Okay .. so, maybe, reading again wasn't a good idea at all. My mind is still spinning, and it feels like over burden of excitement. Honestly, it feels like I'm gonna drop dead faint any moment now. 😍😍

Kabir was too cute!! I am loving their parts more now, since we got to see a Kabir-Pia emotional confrontation in the show today && I am more & more hoping for a girl opposite him. And Anu seems so pretty!! I really like her. And I really adore her feelings for Kabir. 😳 But .. what was the witch coven doing on the road when Anushka didn't summon them? Hmm, I smell trouble.

Abhay and Pia were adorable, as usual. Pia is the same - teenager madly in love with something forbidden. And Abhay is the same - Desperately trying to stop Pia from hurting herself. The question is - For how long? 😳 I have mentioned this again and again; I love Pia's confronting nature in this FF. She likes Abhay, she confronts him about it, she makes him believe that she is ready for it, she makes him trust in his own feelings!! And that's what makes me love Pia .. not her obsessive stalker nature. 😳

Sam-Misha!!! You know I always go hyper whenever I read their update, don't you? Hyper is a understatement. All this adrenaline rush I get .. It's all because of 'em. I need to calm myself down by taking deep breaths && stop myself from fainting around .. All because of 'em!! 😳 Dude, aww, I loved that part where Misha was sleeping on him in the car, and her arms were around his waist, and he just gave a soft smirk and kissed the tip of her nose!! I actually go into extreme drool mode whenever I read that!! 😳 And.. there's this another part, where my cheekbones hurt after that stupid grin on my face. Where my stomach feels clutched, like a knot tied somewhere inside. That part where Misha cuts her finger. You know, all the concern, the love - All Sambhav's feelings you kept a mystery - They are coming out.. and they always tend to whenever Misha is in trouble. I loveeeeeeeeee the way he blowed air in her eyes!! Dude, such a simple scene can make meeeee sooo hyperfieddddd!! ☺️

Oh .. So T is there. She plans to emotionally attachaorify Sam, right? && He has gone to the woods, whilst Misha ran away after him!? So this is where they get lost inside with Bolshvas on the prowl!! ❤️ Continue soon!! Continue soon!! Continue soon!!!!!!!!!! 😃
