Kalindi went and gave nicely by scolding them .. informing .. Boys she will not come out for some days.. she is not well and sleeping..so pl don't trouble her ..and go and find a new team member for ur team..She shushed them off and came inside...
The boys with a sad face stepped outside the compound wall, from some where a letter wrapped in a stone aimed by somebody from first floor , came and hit Raghav.. Aah..he yelled and turned to see from where the stone came..
All the boys same him suffer in pain .. but tiny Ayush .. took the stone and said ..hey boys .. see there is a letter..
Raghav .. saw upstairs.. It was Astha..clad in a Churidhar .. in a baby pink one.. with a bindi in face.. and some jewellery..Raghav .. wiped his eyes ..in disapproval of what he saw in front of his.. Ayush came and gave the letter to Raghav. Ayush yelled from down.. Astha what is this u have worn.. U look ..like .. something different..come down .. lets go and play.. he yelled.
.
Raghav went thru the letter..

Raghav after reading the letter informed Astha thru sign language that See u in three days.. Somebody was covering Ayush's mouth.. She yelled from Up.. Bye BRATS.. miss u guys.. See you in short time she waved and came to her bed..
She lay herself on her bed .. She took out her Tab and started playing Temple Run..
Kalindi came inside.. and saw her.. Astha how many times to tell u.. Lie down to a side.. Don't lie flat.. Sit properly..Where is your odni..Y u dint drink your milk.. blah.. blah.. blah.. she started..
Astha.. took her ear phone and kept in her ears and dint give heed on what kalindi was telling ..She was concentrating on the game..All of a Sudden she gotup and started jumping on the bed ..yay.. I have won..I have won..
Kalindi came and gave one on her butt.. Astha.. this is the last warning Im gonna give you.. I have told you not to jump .. Pl behave..
Astha.. couldn't take it anymore.. Oh..pl KALINDI.. I cannot hear your bhajan anymore.. Im going down to your Husbands room.. To complain about you.. so better behave ..Im warning you.. She warned and went down..
The aggressive CAT.. now had a puppy face and went down straight to Avdhoots room..Hey Dad.. can I have a sec.. I need to launch a complain about your wife.. Who is not bothered about me at all..who doesn't care about me at all.All the time who keeps wining and shouting and yelling .. And I cant take it any more.. Pl send her to her Aayis place.You and I and Ajju can live peacefully for some days. Pl AVDHOOT.. can you do this for me.. she pleaded and poured out in one full breath..Oh my Rani.. slow .. Slow.. Take a deep breath.. Avdhoot uttered..

Oh what Daddy..U cant take this pain of one White hair which I removed from your Mush.. You are not strong at all ..Join Gym Dad ..She yelled and got up from her Dads Lap..
Kalindi was watching ..Dad and Dtr.. convo .. standing near the door.. She was enjoying her daugthers antics..Astha was sitting on the bed now.. Astha.. Astha...

Avdhoot came and told her closer.. what is the problem.. why are u talking bad about mama.. I don't want to all these pretending things..Im straight forward telling you..

I will talk to her and ask her not to be stiff on you .. and My request to my dear Dtr.. Can you please for two days at least.. be in the same avatar.. As you know why .. im wanting you too..
Ok..AVDHOOT..its only for you I do this. Don't jump once I step out of the room in happiness that I agreed to ur small and insane request.. OF PRETENDING TO BE A GAL..
She gave a smirk and left the room ,ignoring Kalindi Royally who was near the door.. She went to the hall. Swithced on the TV and rested her Legs on the TPOy and was surfing the channels .. In 1 minute 20 channels she had changed..Finally her eyes set on DISCOVERY TURBO.. She was watching TOP GEAR..
It was dusk now.. All had dinner .Astha went upstairs ..Stil she was not talking to kalindi..She knelt down and pulled a suitcase from underneath the cot.. She opened it ..She took out a Diary, and started scribbling some thing..

Three days got over.. her Rascals team .. Vanarasena team were standing down ..near the door step..
Kalindi.. Again you fellows came.. How many times.. I have told.. you..she will not come and play with u boys..Astha came down... Oh KALINDI.. Stop it.. You said three days.. and the days are done .. So pl be quiet ..or else I willask Daddy to divorce you..

Step out but by 12 noon you should be in home..is it a deal..Ok MOMMY.. she said and took her bicycle.. RANGER..and joined the little rascals and went to the play ground near her home..
The clouds were slightly dark.. In October .. rain..yes.. it was sunny for sometime.. and all of a sudden it started with a drizzle and started pouring..These kidos they were setting the Badminton Net for playing .. saw the rain and ran towards the tree to find shelter..
Astha who was in her half trousers with a black sleevless tops and in a pony tail with short hair .. spread her hands free and started letting the rain drops kiss her cheeks one by one and finally to flow kisses over her fully body..
She was drenched..All her friends called her to come and stand below the tree.. But she dint..She played and danced in rain..She took her Bicycle now and started riding on the main road.. Towards the pot hole on the corner.. She dint mind about the slush ... splashing from other vehicles.. She enjoyed the splash..
She came fast and zarrr.. She came peddled her cycle into the pothole .. splashing the stored water to splash like a FOUNTAIN.. all over.. She got the adrenaline.. and now went straight and in no time ..came for another round.. she dint three times. She enjoyed the mud puddle, rain, splash and Fountain..
Fourth time.. She was about to step in the pot hole... from nowhere a GUY.. who was riding fast in the opposite direction ... inspite of her ringer her bell and he honking his horn.. and due to less visibility of things happening the opposite.. came and
DASH.. DASHED.. in the pothole.
The Ranger and CBZ.. BOTH Dashed and fell on the ground..
AStha got up immediately in her drenched and muddy avatar ..went to fight with that fellow.. how dare he.. he was in his helmet.. he got hurt .. and was about to get up.. But he was hurt ..in his legs and hands..he needed support..Angry Astha who was angry with the Stupid ..Idiot.. Fellow came in a fierce to pull and shake his collars..
But seeing in pain.. he OFFERED HER A HAND.. for help to make him get up..
NOW THE boy or ADULT.. removed his helmet pushed her hand away and got up.. The time he pushed her hand off .. some sort of connection or a new sensation.. a jilt of electricity passed on thru her body.. She felt weird.. She was angry with him..
One reason .. he coming and dashing..the other .. he pushed her helping hands..He got up .. he removed his helmet and came closer to her..
AND YELLED..
ANDHI ..HO GAYI HO KYA..
SAAMNE KYA AATA HAI ..TUMKO DIKHAYI NAHI DETHA..
PAAGAL HO.. BEIRI..HO.. BAATH KARNA NAHI AATA..
HE was putting A to Z list for her to talk...AStha couldn't take it anymore.. She came close to him.. the proximity was so close..Both had a different feeling when they were close.They dint understand what it was..
She came closer..Hey u idiot..Just Shut up.. You Mom dint she teach manners.. She pulled his collars.. and started giving back.. U feel that ..Im blind.. Im deaf and Im dumb... Now see...
She left his collars now came very closer to his ears AND YELLED...MEIN ANDHI YAA.. BEIRI.. YAA.. GHOONGHI..NAHIII HOONNN..
She yelled so loudly that he had to close his ears and push her off in the raining water into the pothole out of anger and took his BIKE and started heading towards his direction and destination..
After he disappeared..AStha pulled her cycle..luckily it was not damaged much.. she was also hurt in her hand.. But somehow ..managed to walk along with the cycle and headed home..
On the way ..she was feeling on the UNEXPLAINED THOUGHTS.. what were those feelings..why did I get something weird running in my body.. Oh Stupid Crap..Why Im feeling different.. And Now ..My new target is to find out who this NEW GUY in the town was.. .
