PART-14
Hello everyone, this is Tanz back with part-14 of my ff. Thank you so much for all your best wishes for my result and maybe it was because of all your wishes that I secured 97.2 % (some of you might be knowing it). I can’t thank you guys enough for wishing me. Now the apology part, I know I’m really late to update, believe me I had a really busy week. First, the result on Monday(really tiring day), then shopping time and some lazy days in between but finally I’m here. So, let’s start with this part by ending this chit-chat of mine.
***************************************************************************
Recap : Shivaay and Jaya’s conversation and Shivaay plans something to pacify her anger.
Shivaay’s room
Every youngster of the family except Annika is present in Shivaay’s room . Shivaay is moving to and fro and explaining them something while they all are listening to him .
Shivaay : ”…So this is the plan, will you all help me?”
Rudra (almost yelling) :” Bhaiya this is not done . You have given me such a small part. Are you having doubt that I can’t do the whole thing on my own ?”
Om and Shivaay (to themselves) : ”No doubt, we are sure you can’t . “
Rudra:”Excuse me ,Did anyone say something?(Looks around and sees all of them shaking their head in negative and then continues) Ok. So I was saying….”
Shivaay:”Rudra would please speak a little slowly, Annika can hear our plan.”
Rudra :”Ofcourse Bhaiya, I can . But what’s with this “plan” thing .I just have to go to Annika Di and ask her to come in your room, that’s not a big deal , Is it?”
Om (in an irritated tone):”Rudra, isiliye kehte hain jitna dimaag ho,utna hi sochna chahiye nahi to tumhare ghutne me dard ho jayega…(Rudra, that’s why it is said that we should think only as much as we have the brain, otherwise your knees will pain)”
Rudra (scratching his head):” Dimaag…ghutna…(brain…knees..)What is the realtion between the two and how did it all come in between?”
Om : “Tera dimaag ghutno me hai to wahi to dard karenga na(Your brain is in your knees, so they will only pain na)”
Rudra(fake crying) :”Bhaiya…dekho iss O ko…Every time he is making fun of me “
Shivaay : “Om ….Rudra…stop it now, we were discussing about the plan here and you two…”
Rudra :” Oh yes, the plan…OK bhaiya I’m going and I will prove to you ALL that I can do it on my own”
Rudra leaves from the room ignoring Shivaay’s calls from behind.
Shivaay :” Rudra…Rudra stop…Rudra…He’s gone…I’m sure ye kuch raita zaroor failayega (he suddenly realizes what he has just said). I mean he’ll do something wrong ….Saumya and Mallika, be near Rudra and make sure Annika comes in my room within the next 10 minutes. Please take care if he does something crazy.Ok?”
Saumya :”Ok bade bhaiya, we’ll take care of that duffer.”
Mallika :” Ok Shivaay, consider this work done. Come Saumya let’s go”
Both of them leave the room.
Shivaay :”Om, Prinku and Gauri you have to take care that Annika should not reach the hall before coming in this room . I want all her worries and misunderstandings to be cleared before she unites with her mom. So, Prinku what was she doing when you were coming here?”
Priyanka :” She was going to the bathroom and now she must be getting ready.”
Shivaay : “ Okay, that’s good , you all just go and make sure of what I have asked. I’ll be waiting here.”
All of them leave the room, leaving Shivaay alone,waiting for Annika to arrive.
Annika was going towards the hall when suddenly Om comes in front of her while Gauri and Priyanka hide behind a pillar.
Annika: “Yes Om ?Do you want anything from me?”
Om: “I…umm Do I want something…ummm actually…no not me…Rudra was calling you for something. He’s in the gym.”
Annika:” Ok, I’ll go, but why are you taking so many pauses? “
Om: ”Am… I..?”
Annika: “Oh, Never mind, I’ll just go.”
Annika starts moving towards the hall.
Om:” Annika…”
Annika: “Now what Om?”
Om : “Why are you going towards the hall?”
Annika : ”Why? Isn’t the gym across the hall? How else am I supposed to go there?”
Om : “ Oh did I say gym…? I meant to say his room…even his room has many gym equipment so it also looks like a part-gym… (Laughing stupidly)…I jumbled it all. Sorry for that, now don’t go towards the hall, I mean you don’t have to go through the hall na , his room is the opposite side.”
Annika(touches his forehead with her hand) : “ Are you Ok Om? Have you eaten something strange or are you sick? You are acting weird …”
Om( while turning Annika in the opposite direction) : “ I’m alright Annika. You go, rudra must be waiting.”
Annika : “Ok Ok, I’m going but take care of yourself.”
Annika leaves towards Rudra’s room and Om gives out a sigh of relief . Meanwhile, Gauri speaks to rudra on a walky-talky from behind the pillar.
Gauri : “ Hello, target has left from here and is now going towards your room. Over.”
Rudra : ”I am in position , waiting for the target to come .Over.”
Gauri :” How did I do?”
Rudra :” you forgot to speak over. Over”
Gauri : ”Oh, How did I do ? Over.”
Rudra :” You did good. You’ll also become a great detective like me. Over”
Gauri : “I like this walkey-talkey. Can we use it more often? Over.”
Rudra :” Yes , we can . But the mission is not accomplished yet . I’ll tell you when my job is done. Over.”
Gari :” Ok. I’ll wait. Over.”
Till the time their walky-talky talk was over, Annika reached there and knocked at his door. Rudra, quickly jumped on his bed and hid the walky-talky , behind a pillow and took up a book in his hand while Saumya sat beside him, also with a book in her hand and mallika sat on the couch with a magazine. All were settled by the time Annika came in.
Annika :” Rudra Did you call me?…Oh wow you both are also here…Saumya is studying but what are you doing with them Mallika? “
Mallika : “Me? Oh I came to talk with Rudy but since they were studying, so I thought it would be better not to disturb them . So I sat here, reading this magazine…this magazine is really good. Do you want to read it ?”
Annika : “ I’ll read it some other day Mallika…thanks for asking. Rudra were you asking for something from me?”
Rudra :” Was I?…(Saumya pinches him)..oww…I mean oh yeahI remember…Annika Di, can you please bring Americano from Shivaay Bhaiya’s room from us. We are studying otherwise we might have got it ourselves…”
Annika : “ You called me all the way here for this?…Ok, I understand , both of you are studying but you could have asked Mallika….She would not refuse to you , would you?”
Mallika : ” No…I mean yes I did refuse….ummm…..because…because…ya because I don’t touch Americano…Yes I don’t touch it…that’s why..”
Annika : “ But why don’t you touch Sairabano?”
Mallika :” Sairabano?”
Rudra : “Mallika Di its Americano, don’t worry you’ll get used to it…and Annika Di nice question. She doesn’t touch it because of a vachan…”
Annika :” Vachan?”
Rudra : “Haven’t you heard the saying-“praan jaaye par vachan na jaaye”. Mallika Di is a true Rajput. She never backs off from her vachan.Haina Mallika Di?”
Mallika :” haan…haan…He is right..”
Annika :”but why have you taken that vachan?”
Mallika :”It’s a long tale Annika, I’ll tell you some other day.Ok?”
Annika :” No. Now I want to know it now . tell me.”
Mallika : “Now? …Ok…actually…”
Rudra : ”It’s ok mallika Di. I can understand , you are not able to tell it . Don’t worry, I will tell. It was 11:59 p.m . at night and she was watching a news channel… At 12, a news flashed on that channel-‘Americano se murder’.…”
Annika :”murder?”
Rudra :”Yes, murder.She was scared but still she saw the whole news . It was about how a psycho killer poured hot Americano on his lover when she refused to her proposal. The same Americano, which he was offering her a few minutes before . The hot Americano was so hot that it melted her skin and then skull and then reached her brain . Even when her final rituals were being done, her family could smell burnt Americano while her body was burning. Oh the poor girl…So, from that day on Mallika Di swore never to touch Americano, which can even kill someone.She is really peace loving…right Di?”
Mallika(didn’t know how to react after the horrific story):” Yeah…umm Yes”
Rudra :” So Annika Di, will you now please go and bring it.”
Annika :” oh I’m really sorry Mallika. I’ll go and bring it.”
Annika leaves from the room . Leaving Rudra, all others ,that includes Saumya and Mallika, are in a state of shock .They could still not digest the silly story that Rudra had made up and they were even more surprised that Annika really took it all as the truth. She really was weak in studies,especially science and Rudra too. While, self-praising himself, Rudra suddenly remembered the junior detective, Gauri and took out his walky-talky .
Rudra :” Hello, I have done my work excellently . The target is reaching the final location. One last thing left to do .Over.”
Gauri :”Good job . We’ll meet you at the final location. Over.”
All of them reach near Shivaay’s room when Annika was entering it. The lights were off and only a small part of the room was lit with the meager light coming from the window. As Annika was looking for the switches in the dark, Om slowly and carefully locked the door from outside and all of them went from there. Suddenly the lights were on, which surprised Annika .Well, this was only a small beginning , like a starter surprise. The main course was yet to come.
********************************************************************************
So, this is the end of part-14. I hope you liked it. And, I have studied science well Ok, it was Rudra’s mind which cooked up the story not mine. It was a long and a funny part I believe(Was it or not?).
One more thing which I would like to mention today is about DBO . I don’t talk about the real IB and DBO much on this page but Friday’s Om has compelled me too. Although, for a short time, Om was sweet with Gauri and with all that painting background (I loved the peacock), it appeared as if old Om was back and I am grateful to the CVs for that. What are your thoughts about it, I would love to know.
Please comment if you can.
Regards,
Tanz.
