JUST AS D.V. ENTERED THE HOTEL IT STARTED POURING CATS AND DOGS.LOOKING AT THE RAIN HE THOUGHT THAT "EVEN GODS FAVOURED HIM AS WHY ELSE WOULD IT RAIN TONIGHT ON THIS SPECIAL NIGHT"...WITH A DEVILISH HALF GRIN.REACHING THE RECEPTION HE ASKED FOR THE KEYS OF HIS ROOM FROM A CHARMING TALL GIRL WHO WAS WEARING BLACK MINI SKIRT AND A RED BUTTONED BLOUSE.LOOKING AT HER HE SAID " U R SOO GORGEOUS LOOKING GIRL... WHAT R U DOING HERE IN THIS HOTEL? U SHOULD BE IN A PLACE THAT U DESERVE." HEARING THIS THE GIRL SMILED AT HIM AT THAT HE AGAIN COMMENTED "AAPKI SMILE TOH POORE GHAR KO ROSHAN KAR SAKTI HAI PATA NAHIN KYUN LOG POWERHOUSE SE BIJLI LETE HAIN." JUST THEN BEFORE HE COULD FLIRT ANYMORE THE MALE HEAD RECEPTIONIST CAME FORWARD AND ASKED "WHICH ROOM DID HE RESERVED?"D.V.STRAITENED UP AND SAID ROOM 104 GIVING A LOOK AS IF SOME1 HAS INTERRUPTED HIS FAV. PASTIME.GETTING THE KEYS FROM HIM HE ORDERED THAT A LADY WOULD BE COMING TO MEET HIM SO SHE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO COME UP AND ASKED FOR THE ROOM SERVICE TO SEND UP TO HIS ROOM SOME RED WINE,STRAWBERRIES AND NO OTHER DISTURBANCE WILL BE TOLERATED BY HIM,NOBODY SHOULD DISTURB HIM UNLESS HE CALLS FOR ANYTHING.MAKING THEM ALL HIS ORDERS UNDERSTAND HE WENT TO HIS ROOM TO FRESHEN UP AND WAIT FOR THE GIRL FOR TONIGHT.THINKING OF THE WORD TONIGHT HE THOUGHT WHAT HIS MOTHER HAD SAID JUST BEFORE HIS COMING HERE AND SAID TO HIMSELF"WHAT WOULD MAA KNOW HOW IT IS TO TASTE DIFFERENT DELICACY EVERYDAY? SOMETIMES YOU GET CONTINENTAL,SOMETIMES MEXICAN AND SOMETIMES THAI,NO1 CAN TASTE THE SAME FOOD EVERYDAY... HELL... HE CANT SPEND A SECOND NIGHT WITH A SAME GIRL AND SHE IS THINKING OF MAKING HIM MARRY SOMEONE?HOW ABOMINABLE THIS WHOLE IDEA OF MARRIAGE IS... WAKING UP EVERY MORNING TO THE SAME FACE,SLEEPING EVERYNIGHT LOOKING AT THE SAME FACE.GOD..HE CAN ONLY LOVE LOOKING AT HIS OWN FACE EVERY MORNING BECAUSE HE IS SOO HANDSOME, MAYBE WHILE MAKING HIM GREEK GOD ADONIS, WAS LOOKING AT HIS OWN REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR AND TRIED TO RECREATE HIMSELF IN THE HUMAN FORM".WINKING AT THE MIRROR AT HIS OWN SELF D.V.THOUGHT.COMING OUT OF HIS OWN WORLD WHERE HE OFTEN APPRECIATED HIS OWN SELF AND FEEDING HIS OWN EGO HE LOOKED AT THE WATCH AND THOUGHT IMPATIENTLY WHERE IS THIS GIRL AS IT WAS ALREADY 8:20.
"HAY BHAGVAN, MUJHE 8 BAJE PAHONCHANA THA HOTEL AUR MAIN ABHI TAK IS TRAFFIC JAM MEIN PHASI HUI HOON."THINKING SOMETHING AMOLI ASKED THE AUTO RICKSHAW DRIVER HOW FAR WAS THE HOTEL FROM THERE?"ZYAADA DOOR NAHIN HAI APP PAIDAL BHI JAYENGI TOH DUS MIN. KAA RASTA HAI."HE TOLD HER.THINKING SOMETHING SHE GOT OUT OF THE AUTO RICKSHAW GIVING HIM THE MONEY AND DECIDED TO WALK THE REST OF THE WAY AS IT IS IT WAS 8:20 AND THE JAM WAS NOT GOING TO GET CLEAR ANY TIME SOON.WHEN SHE ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL SHE WAS FULLY DRENCHED.AT THE RECEPTION COUNTER SHE ASKED FOR ROOM 104 AND GOT THE LOOK FROM THAT SAME GIRL WITH WHOM D.V.WAS FLIRTING EARLIER AS IF SHE HAS TAKEN SOMETHING THAT SHE DID NOT DESERVE.WHILE IN THE LIFT AMOLI FELT REALLY NERVOUS AS SHE WAS WILLINGLY BEING A BAIT FOR A HUNGRY LION AND SHE VERY WELL KNEW THAT NO AMOUNT OF PLEADING,CRYING OR REASONING WILL WORK .SHE HAD TO THINK SOMETHING FAST SHE THOUGHT AS SHE SLOWLY APPROACHED THE DEVIL'S DEN.WITH SHAKING HAND SHE APPROACHED THE BELL. FEELING UNCERTAIN SHE THOUGHT ABOUT GOING BACK WITHOUT MEETING HIM BUT A SECOND LATER HER MOTHER'S SAD AND SUNKEN FACE AND TANI'S FUTURE FLASHED IN FRONT OF HER EYES AND SHE SHRUGGED OFF ALL THE UNCERTAINTIES AND THE FEELING OF IMPENDING DOOM AND RANG THE BELL OF ROOM NO.104.
HEARING THE BELL D.V.SWITCHED OFF THE T.V. AND GOT UP TO OPEN THE DOOR IN A VERY ANGRY MOOD AFTERALL HE WAS THAKUR DIGVIJAY SINGH BHADODORIA HE CAN MAKE PEOPLE WAIT FOR HIM BUT NO1 HAD THE GUTS TO MAKE HIM WAIT EVER AND THIS GIRL HAS MADE HIM WAIT FOR FULL 30 MIN. ANGRY AND ABOUT TO BURST HE OPENED THE DOOR AND WAS JUST ABOUT TO SHOUT ON HER WHEN HE SAW HER ALL DRENCHED IN RAIN AND HER BIG EYES LOOKING SCARED AND DETERMINED AT THE SAME TIME.WHEN HE DID NOT SAY ANYTHING FOR SOMETIME AMOLI GOT A BIT NERVOUS AND NERVOUSLY COUGHED THIS BROUGHT HIM OUT OF HIS TRANCE AND HE OPENED THE DOOR MORE WIDELY AND ASKED HER TO COME IN.AMOLI TRIED NOT TO MAKE ANY PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH HIM AND SQUEEZED HERSELF IN FROM WHAT LITTLE SPACE WAS LEFT IN HIM AND THE DOOR.AS HE CLOSED THE DOOR AND MOVED TOWARDS HER HE SAW HER BACK .HE NOTICED HOW HER VERY LONG HAIR WERE LEFT OPEN AND HOW THEY WERE ALL WET FROM THE RAIN AND THOSE TINY DROPLETS WHICH SEEM TO ENJOY THOSE LONG SILKY TRESSES AND LOOKING LIKE SMALL PEARLS STANDING OUT IN THE DARK OF THE OCEAN.HIS EYES MOVED FURTHER DOWN AND HE NOTICED THAT SHE WAS NOT WEARING ANYTHING SHORT OR SEXY BUT A BLACK BUSINESS SUIT.HE WAS A BIT SURPRISED AS NO OTHER GIRL HAD EVER DRESSED LIKE THIS.SOME OF THEM DRESSED IN A SHORT SKIRT AN EQUALLY SHORT BLOUSE ,SOME OF THEM IN A SARI AND THOSE BIKINI STYLE BLOUSES BUT NEVER EVER HAS ANY1 DRESSED SO PROFESSIONALLY. NOTICING THAT SHE WAS STARING AT HIM HE PULLED HIMSELF OUT OF HIS THOUGHTS AND SAID"YOU R HALF AN HOUR LATE.IM NOT ACCUSTOMED TO WAIT FOR ANYONE." LOOKING AT HIM FOR A MOMENT AMOLI ANSWERED "SO WHY DID U WAITED FOR ME.AND IN THIS WORLD MANY THINGS HAPPEN WHICH HAVE NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE SO IT SEEMS THIS IS 1 OF THOSE THINGS." INTRIGUED BY HER ANSWER HE ASKED HER WHY IS SHE HERE IF SHE IS SO UNWILLING TO HIS PROPOSAL? "WHAT ANSWER DO U EXPECT?" SHE ASKED. BEFORE HE COULD ANSWER SHE SAID IN ALL HONESTY THAT SHE NEEDED THIS JOB."YEAH I KNOW THAT,YOUR FATHER DIED AND YOUR MOM IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND SO ON... SPARE ME WITH THIS EMOTIONAL DRAMA AND TELL ME WHAT CAN U DO FOR ME?"HE SAID IN SUCH A EMOTIONLESS WAY THAT SHE FELT ONLY A PERSON DEVOID OF ANY EMOTIONAL FEELINGS AND HEART CAN BE SO HEARTLESS TO NOT TO UNDERSTAND AND CONSIDER THE FEELINGS OF THE OTHER PEOPLE."NOTHING THAT U ASK FOR."AMOLI SAID LOOKING STRAIGHT IN HIS EYES. TAKEN ABACK HE LOOKED AT HER AND ASKED IN A CHALLENGING TONE"AND YOU THINK ILL APPROVE OF THAT?" TAKING UP HIS CHALLENGE SHE ANSWERS"OFCOURSE, U CANT TAKE ME AGAINST MY WILL.""AND WHY NOT"HE ASKED RATHER ANGRILY OF BEING DENIED."BCOZ THAT WILL ACCOUNT TO RAPE AND YOU CAN GO TO JAIL FOR THAT." "SO,U THINK THAT THE POLICE CAN ARREST ME?DO U EVEN KNOW WHO YOU R STANDING IN FRONT OF? POLICE CAN DO NOTHING EVEN IF I MAKE U MINE IN FRONT OF THEM.NOW U KNOW MY POWER?" "MAYBE THE POLICE CANT DO ANYTHING BUT THE POWER OF PRESS CAN."SHE SAID IN A CONFIDENT TONE. HE SAID "BY THE TIME IM FINISHED WITH YOU IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING MY DEAR."HE SAID IN A MOST DREADFUL TONE WHILE CLOSING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM.AMOLI SENSING THE DANGER WENT TOWARDS THE WINDOW AND OPENED IT AND POINTING SOMETHING SAYS,"WHAT IF THEY ARE ALREADY HERE." COMING CLOSE TO HER AND LOOKING WHERE SHE WAS POINTING AT HE SAW A VAN OF A REPUTED NEWS CHANNEL RIGHT THERE IN THE HOTEL PARKING AREA."HOW COME U MADE THEM COME HERE AGAINST ME?THEY SURELY WOULD NOT HAVE COME HAD THEY KNEW THAT THEY ARE AGAINST ME."HE ASKED HER."MY BABA WORKED AS A REPORTER FOR THEM SO THE HEAD OF THE CHANNEL IS A FRIEND OF MINE."SHE ANSWERED BACK."WHATS YOUR FULL NAME?"HE WANTED TO KNOW."AMOLI PUNDIR"CAME THE REPLY."U MEAN YOU R THE DAUGHTER OF THAT PUNDIR WHO WAS THE REPORTER WHO DIED IN AN ACCIDENT JUST FEW DAYS BACK?"HE INQUIRED NOT BELIEVING THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO HIM."YEAH.BUT HOW DID U KNOW MY FATHER?"SHE ASKED SUSPICIOUSLY."IT WAS SPLASHED IN ALL THE PAPERS AND CHANNELS TOO, SO WHATS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT ME KNOWING ABOUT IT ALMOST EVERY1 IN THIS CITY MUST BE AWARE OF IT."HE SAID RATHER DEFENSIVELY. THEN SUDDENLY CHANGING GARES AND POSITIONING HIMSELF IN A MORE COMMANDING POSITION GLARING AT HER HE ASKED"AND U THINK BY DOING THIS ILL GIVE U THE JOB?" "NO.I CERTAINLY DONT THINK THAT U WILL EVER DO THAT BUT I CANT DO WHAT U R ASKING EITHER AND I KNOW VERY WELL THAT IF I DONT AGREE TO YOUR PROPOSAL U WONT EVEN CONSIDER ME FOR THE JOB BUT I HAVE TO DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO PROTECT MY HONOUR."SHE SHE SO HONESTLY THAT IT SOUNDED AS A CHALLENGE TO D.V. "U KNOW SOMETHING U R REALLY A NAIVE AND FOOLISH LITTLE GIRL TO THINK THAT ANY1 CAN SAVE U FROM ME BCOZ IF I WANT TO DO SOMETHING WITH U NO1 CAN STOP ME AND WE R ALL ALONE IN THIS ROOM SO HOW CAN I NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT."WITH A DEVILISH SMILE HE SAID. HEARING THIS AMOLI COULD NOT CONTROL HERSELF ANY LONGER GAVE HIM A RESOUNDING SLAP.IT WAS SO HARD THAT D.V.'S LOWER LIP GOT CUT AND IT STARTED BLEEDING. IN HIS WHOLE LIFE NO 1 HAS EVER DARED TO RAISE A HAND ON HIM AND THIS LITTLE GIRL DARED TO HIT HIM STRAIGHT IN THE FACE AND CUT HIS LIP HOW IN THE WORLD SHE DARED HE THOUGHT AS HIS FACE GOT ALL RED IN ANGER. IN HIS ANGER HE CAUGHT HER HAIR FROM BEHIND AND PUSHED HER AGAINST THE BED AND SAID IN ANGER "NOW U WILL SEE WHATS THE RESULT OF SLAPPING AND DENYING THE MAN WHO CAN DO ANYTHING.HOW DARE U SLAPPED ME.TUMHE APNI ZARA BHI FIKR NAHI HUI KI MAIN TUMHARE SAATH KYA SALOOK KAROONGA.TUMHE EHSAAS BHI HAI TUMNE KITNI BADI GALTI KI HAI?"HE PINNED HER ON THE BED HOLDING BOTH HER HANDS ABOVE HER HEAD SO SHE CANT MOVE.NO MATTER HOW HARD AMOLI TRIED TO FREE HERSELF HIS GRIP GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER WITH EVERY PASSING SECOND.WHILE PINNING HER DOWN ON THE BED D.V. SLOWLY AND SLOWLY BROUGHT HIS FACE CLOSER TO HER AND JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO CLAIM HER LIPS AMOLI TURNED HER HEAD.LOOKING FOR A MOMENT AT HER BEAUTIFUL FACE HE RELEASED HER FROM HIS CLUTCHES AND LAUGHED LIKE A MAD MAN.NOT UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING OF HIS LAUGH SHE LOOKED AT HIS FACE AND UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WAS NOT A LAUGH OF HAPPINESS BUT IT WAS THE LAUGH OF A DEVIL.SHE GOT UP FROM THE BED AND WAS ABOUT TO GO TOWARDS THE DOOR WHEN HE STOPPED LAUGHING AND BLOCKED HER WAY"WHERE DO U THINK U R GOING?IM NOT GOING TO LEAVE U SO SOON AFTER WHAT U DARED." HEARING THIS AMOLI SAID IN AN ANGRY VOICE"YOU CANT HAVE ME DIGVIJAY.I WONT LET THAT HAPPEN." "OH SURELY I WILL MAKE U MINE AND MAKE U PAY FOR WHAT U HAVE DONE.BUT THE PAIN THAT IM GOING TO INFLICT WILL BE DONE SLOWLY WHILE U WORK FOR ME OR SHOULD I SAY UNDER ME..."HE SAID IN A MOST THREATNING WAY LEANING OVER HER AND PICKING HIS COAT FROM THE BED MAKING HIS SHOULDERS AND CHEST BRUSH AGAINST HER."YOUR JOB STARTS FROM TOMORROW AT 9 IN THE MORNING AND ENDS AT 7 IN THE EVENING OFFICIALLY AND UNOFFICIALLY THAT DEPENDS..."HE LEFT THE SENTENCE MIDWAY AS IF A DAGGER IS HANGING IN THE AIR WAITING TO DROP AT ANY SECOND. SAYING THIS HE LEFT THE ROOM LEAVING AMOLI STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM LOOKING AT THE EMPTY SPACE AHEAD.
