"Sanjuu...you are looking very pretty."

"Thankyouuuuu." Shritaanjana said smiling. Abhijit tucked her hair behind her ears and her smile widened awkwardly. They went to a Bengali restaurant and ordered murgir laal jhol, chicken kosha, luchi, bhapa doi, rice and salad. They ate very comfortably talking in their mother tongue Bangla...

"Ora murgir laal jhol theke beshi bhalo chicken kosha baniyechilo"

(They have made chicken kosha better than murgir laal jhol) she said.

"Chicken kosha oder best seller hoie"

(Chicken kosha is their best seller) He replied.

"Hmm khub darun"

(Hmm it's tasty)

He saw she was enjoying eating chicken kosha.

"Aami maar hather khawa miss kori...aami kicchu banate pari na"

(I miss maa's handmade food...I don't know how to make anything)

"Tomake shikhte lagbe na. Amar future wife ke khawar banaate lagbe na"

(You don't need to learn.My future wife doesn't need to cook.)

She blushed listening to him and then giggled "You are too much...eat quietly now"

Abhijit pinched her cheeks and teased her "To be future Mrs. Dey"

"Chup koro"

(Be quiet) She said slapping his hand lightly.

A waiter came with a bouquet of roses that was ordered by Abhijit for her. Abhijit took it from the waiter and gave it to her, she took it admiring it.

"For you beautiful" he said.

"Eesh eta shundor...dhonyobad Misterrr Dey"

(Eesh it's beautiful...thank you Misterrr Dey) She said giggling and admiring the bouquet.

They had their meal and Abhijit got Bhapa doi packed for her. Bhapa doi is one of her favourites.

They were in the car and were listening to J.Lo's "Love don't cost a thing"



Shritaanjana was singing along.

[Chorus]

Think you gotta keep me iced? You don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash? I won't

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz? I don't

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

When you rolled up in the Escalade

Saw the dub you gave to the valet

Knew that it was game when you looked at me

Pullin' up your sleeve, so I could see the Rollie bling

Saw you later in the corner booth

Raisin' up a toast, so I would notice you

But you're hard to miss, think you oughta know

Doesn't matter if you're ballin' out of control

All that matters is

That you treat me right

Give me all the things I need

That money can't buy, yeah

Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't (Ooh)

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

When I took a chance thought you'd understand (You don't understand)

Baby, credit cards aren't romance

So you're tryna buy what's already yours

What I need from you is not available in stores

Seen a side of you (You) that I really feel (Feel)

Doing way too much (Much), never keep it real (Real)

If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road

Now I'm leaving, where's my keys? I've got to go

All that matters is

That you treat me right

Give me all the things I need

That money can't buy, yeah

Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't (Baby)

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing (Love don't cost a thing)

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't (No)

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

Love don't cost a thing, a thing, a thing

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You think the money that you make (That you make)

Can substitute the time you take (The time you take)

To get the keys into my heart

Think you can win my heart, don't know what's in my heart (Don't cost a thing)

I think you need to take some time

To show me that your love is true (Ooh)

There's more than dollar signs in you

Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart

Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing (Love don't cost a thing)

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke (Even if you were broke)

My love don't cost a thing (My love don't cost a thing)

Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't (Think I wanna)

If I wanna floss, I got my own (If I wanna, don't)

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

Think you gotta keep me iced, you don't (Think I wanna)

Think I'm gonna spend your cash, I won't (If I want my own)

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz, I don't (Think I wanna)

If I wanna floss, I got my own (If I want my own)

Even if you were broke

My love don't cost a thing

(Singer - Jennifer Lopez)

Sanjana had learned each and every word of the song by heart. She was singing along and enjoying the music. Somewhere she could relate to this song so she used to listen to it multiple times through her headphones when Ranvijay left and didn't turn back even once to see where she is. She went silent when the music ended, everything was rushing back all the memories every moment she spent with Ranvijay.Everything was revolving in her head in flashback.

Abhijit changed the music to Shawn Mendes's "Treat you better" and he caught her attention when his fingers turned her chin towards him.

"I know music is your emotional outlet. That's your sanctuary."

The song started....and he started singing along with it.



"I won't lie to you

I know he's just not right for you

And you could tell me if I'm off, but I see it on your face

When you say that he's the one that you want

And you're spendin' all your time in this wrong situation

And anytime you want it to stop

I know I can treat you better than he can

And any girl like you deserves a gentleman

Tell me, why are we wasting time on all your wasted cryin'

When you should be with me instead?

I know I can treat you better, better than he can

I'll stop time for you

The second you say you'd like me to

I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing

Baby, just to wake up with you

Would be everything I need, and this could be so different

Tell me what you want to do

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can

And any girl like you deserves a gentleman

Tell me, why are we wasting time on all your wasted cryin'

When you should be with me instead?

I know I can treat you better, better than he can

Better than he can

Give me a sign, take my hand, we'll be fine

Promise I won't let you down

Just know that you don't have to do this alone

Promise I'll never let you down

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can

And any girl like you deserves a gentleman

Tell me, why are we wasting time on all your wasted cryin'

When you should be with me instead?

I know I can treat you better, better than he can, oh

Better than he can

Better than he can"

Through song Abhijit explained his feelings to her and Shritaanjana nodded her head understanding him. She hugged him tightly and broke down. He stopped the car roadside and hugged her back. He rubbed her back and gave her the space to breathe and relax.

"He was never right for you Sanju. I will treat you better. He was a control freak. He never valued you. He is a damn mafia who wants to murder your father and has committed innumerable crimes" Abhijit said.

"Abhi pleaseeee(she stopped him) give me a moment..don't talk about all this."

Abhijit stopped in between.

"Drop me to the hostel."

Abhijit nodded his head.

The drive was silent. He dropped her to the hostel but when she was opening the door he hugged her from behind and kissed her temple.

"Shob thik hoye jabe Sanju"

(It'll be okay Sanju)

She rubbed his elbow accepting that reassurance, not diminishing her light of hope.

He kissed her forehead and she let him, but what revolved in her head was the forehead kisses that Ranvijay gave her always, but she did not say it to Abhijit anything and didn't stop him. She doesn't want her past to destroy her present.

She moved out of the hostel and waved him goodbye.

She was going inside her college when she saw her room mate Dishana coming out of a LaFerrari Aperta. Sanjana knows Dishana is from a upper middle class family but not so rich to have a limited edition car - may be she has a rich boyfriend. Sanjana thought and waited a little for Dishana to come forward. When Dishana saw Sanjana she waved her hii. Sanjana waved her back. She joined her and they went together to their room. Sanjana could see Dishana had a different kind of smile on her face, her cheeks were red, her neck had hickey.

Sanjana smiled and asked "Boyfriend?"

Dishana smiled "No yarr he is just a friend"

"Okay so there was a HE inside the car."

"It was my first date Sanjana and it was magical."

"Tell me the details" Sanjana asked her.

"Firstly tell me about your date..."

"It wasn't a date"

"Shritaanjana c'mon yarr everyone who sees you and that boy knows you are dating him"

"No I am not dating him.I will tell you inside the room but you tell about yours"

"I will also tell you inside the room" Dishana replied.

Both the girls giggled.

As they went inside the room they sat on Sanjana's bed to hear the gossip.

"So tell me?" Sanjana asked.

"Firstly you tell me who is he if you are dating him"

"He is my childhood friend who is also my fiance"

"Wha..." Dishana's mouth opened like a fish. She was shocked but too excited after hearing that revelation.

"He is my fiance Dishana"

"What's jija Ji's name?"

"Abhijit Dey...he is completing his MBA from Coclavel University "

"Wow that's the top notch University for MBA. He must be rich"

"Yeah he is...even your boyfriend also looks very rich. Now I have told you everything tell me about you"

"Okay so my boyfriend is a senior from this University but I can't tell you everything about him. He is completing his engineering and he is the one who decided who will be elected as the Student President of the University. You must have heard our seniors said give vote the person whom we ask you to vote. He is the only one who tells them whom to make the student leader."

"Ooo but elections happen here right?"

"Yes but he is a very powerful person behind elections."

"Your boyfriend is full dark romance character..rich powerful influential"

"Yes and he is very hot too...he has six pack abs..."

"Ooo la la"

"Yesss...and he is from upper caste...my parents will agree for marriage if it reaches that stage..."

Shritaanjana felt a little weird hearing the caste thing but Dishana had once told her that in her house caste matters a lot for the marital alliance. She is a Brahmin girl and her family wants her to marry in a Brahmin family only.

"Is he a Brahmin?"

"No he is a Rajput."

"Oo okay nice good for you"

"Yesss.."

"What's his name?"

"Actually it's a secret Shritaanjana I can't tell you..."

"Yarrr I told you everything about me. I will not tell anyone his name"

"Umm no please understand I have not shared this much to anyone Shritaanjana...please keep this little secret...I can't tell you his name... please understand...oo wait he is calling." Shritaanjana saw Dishana's phone ringing. She picked it up and said "Hello"

Shritaanjana was hearing their conversation.

"Yes I am in my hostel room....oo she?? (Dishana looked at Shritaanjana) She is my roommate, she is a very nice girl, she won't tell anyone....don't worry its a secret....okay byeee...tomorrow I am free, we can meet....ya I have classes but I'll manage" she blushed while saying "Love you" she said and hung up the phone.

"Ohooo...love youuuu" Shritaanjana teased Dishana.

Dishana blushed.

"By the way for your information kal humaari important class hai Anatomy ki(tomorrow we have an important lecture of Anatomy)" Sanjana reminded Dishana.

"Yes I know sir will start general anatomy's lecture tomorrow...but we have studied it already...I will study it from you...just tell me whatever we have to do"

"Alright"

"Shritaanjana read our syllabus of Anatomy once"

Shritaanjana took out the syllabus from her bag and started reading the syllabus.

That's it"

"That's it ??? Shritaanjana this is only the syllabus of the first semester and that too just of one subject..."

"Yes and daily so many assignments and projects...we have to also study physiology, community medicine and biochemistry but the most difficult one is Anatomy"

"I thought after clearing medicals I had achieved everything in my life but ye padhai khatam hi nahi ho rahi.."

(I thought after clearing the medicals, I had achieved everything in my life, but this studying just never ends...)

Dishana expressed herself.

Shritaanjana also got tensed after looking at the syllabus.

"It's just too much. We have already got so many assignments. Even seniors have also given us their assignments to complete it and we can't even protest also."

"Shhh Shritaanjana speak low...if any senior will listen then we both will be in trouble"

"Yaa"

They started writing their assignment

s and had their dinner in mess. They went back to their rooms, their door was knocked, it was 10:00p.m. they opened the door.

"Seniors are calling all the first years in the hall" Sanjana's batchmates told her.

"Why?"

"I don't know" the girl replied.

Sanjana and Dishana gulped. They all were scared but they went to the hall.

All the juniors were standing in line lowering down their heads, the murmurs could be heard.

"QUIET EVERYONE THIS IS NOT A FISH MARKET" Swarna said.

Another senior girl Ashiya said "Are all the freshers present here?"

"Yes respected mam" the juniors replied.

"Good"

"Let's play a game today. All of you know this is a girls hostel...how many of you are wearing a bra today?"

The juniors were embarrassed listening to this question.

"We need answer guys...tell the truth otherwise we will check"

Many girls raised their hands, some of them who didn't wear bra even raised their hands after seeing other girls raising it, slowly all the girls raised their hands.

"Okay so we will play a game...you have to tell the colour of your bra and we will check..if you tell the wrong colour you have to take out your bra and hang it outside your room's door for seven days and if you tell the right colour you have to take out your bra and be free...we all are girls no one will harm you"

When Shritaanjana heard this, her past trauma started rushing in, the way she was sexually assaulted by her seniors in school.

"Shritaanjana Banerjee" she heard her name.

She squeezed her eyes.

'Why God why? Why am I the target always. I knew this...I knew...my all warnings are over that's why they will call me only firstly'

"SHRITAANJANA BANERJEE. ARE YOU DEAF?" Swarna asked her.

"N..no respected mam" Shritaanjana replied.

"Go back to your room and complete the assignments"

Sanjana was shocked to hear this.

"M..mam?" She asked again.

"Yes go to your room and complete your assignments. Focus on your studies. GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM."

Swarna ordered her.

As Shritaanjana left, Ashiya looked at Swarna raising her eyebrows asking "Why did you leave her?"

Swarna smirked and replied "Kisi upar wale ka dil aa gya hai ispe"

(A man from the authority has fallen for her)

"Aate hi?"

(In such a quick time?)

"Haan fresher girls aur senior boys puraani daastaan hai"

(Yes, fresher girls and senior boys... it's an old story)

Ashiya laughed "Baat toh sahi hai...iske maze toh humne bhi liye hain"

(True...we also enjoyed that phase)

"Fresher years me saari bandiya seniors pataa lete hain...aur jab freshers seniors bante hain toh wo apne juniors se niwala cheen lete hain...it's a never ending cycle"

(In their fresher years, all the girls are hooked by the seniors...and when the freshers become seniors themselves, they take their revenge on their juniors by snatching girls from their batch...it's a never ending cycle)

"Aayyy others cmon lift up your shirt...."

Shritaanjana was very happy that seniors have released her from their jail today but she wandered why she was the only one who was spared.

Her mind was continuously thinking about this while she was writing her assignment.

At 3:00 night, Dishana walked in the room giggling. She was talking to other girls, Shritaanjana could hear her voice. She came inside.

"Did they trouble you much?"

"No..we enjoyed it a lot."

"Ohh how?"

"Firstly we thought they would bully us...but all of us opened our bra threw it and we all were playing in the games room. Swarna didi gave us a dare to secretly steal the keys of the games room...we did so much of planning to steal the keys and finally we got it and we enjoyed ourselves in the activity room."

"Woah...I also wanted to be there."

"Yes...I don't know why Swarna mam didn't send you back...when Ashiya mam asked her she replied something but it wasn't audible to any of us."

"Heinn?"

(Really?) She was surprised to know this."I don't know what they have planned in their heads. That Swarna is really bitchy"

"No..no Shritaanjana she talks rudely to us...but today she was behaving very nice...she was ragging us that's why she was being impolite "

"Hmm...maybe she is good."

.

.

.

NEXT DAY, Dishana kept sleeping as she slept late but Shritaanjana got ready and went for her classes. Shritaanjana tried to wake her up but she didn't wake up and demanded to sleep more.

Shritaanjana was attending her class.

It was the second class of physiology today and the professor teaching them was very handsome. A few girls were drooling over him, the rest of the professors are 50+ but the physiology professor is young and smart. If he is asking a question to any girl, that girl starts blushing. Shritaanjana rolled her eyes. There were people like her who were not liking the drama some girls were doing.

Sakia, her classmate sat beside Shritaanjana.

"Are all these girls mad? Why are they being so clingy to the professor"

"Wahi toh(exactly my point) he is a professor, doesn't matter how handsome he is, still he is a professor."

Cristina said from behind "These girls want to perform physiological experiments before studying physiology "

Shritaanjana and Sakia mouth farted and giggled.

Professor Hemant Valmiki - SO...Let's get back to the topic. I hope all your previous doubts are clear. We were studying Intercellular connections.

Cristina - No sir we were studying about your intergirl connections.

Cristina was making Shritaanjana and Sakia desperate to laugh but the two girls were suppressing their laughter.

Dishana - Sir may I come in?

Shritaanjana, and the entire class giggled...more than half of the class was over and then Miss Dishana Pandey made her entry.

Professor Hemant Valmiki - What was the class timing and whose lecture you have to attend.

Dishana - Sir 9:30 and I have to attend physiology lecture.

Professor - You are too early Dishana...it's 10:15 in the morning. I think your lecture is at 9:30 p.m. not a.m....Anyways do not disturb my class. This is physiology class of first year MBBS students and if you want to attend the physiology class. Come at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow for the class not 8:30 p.m. You may go today.

Dishana - Sir please

Professor - Firstly learn punctuality. You are not supposed to enter class after I have come in for the lecture. I already give you all five minutes extra to settle yourself. I don't like disturbances in my class and this is for everyone if my class is at 9:30 you have to be inside the class at your seat by 9:30. I give you all 5 minutes for settling but if the timing is 9:30 a.m. then it won't be 9:40 or 9:50. Is that clear to everyone?

The professor said professionally and sternly. There was pin drop silence in the class and all the students said "Yes" in unison. He didn't give entry to Dishana. All the students got serious. In the first class, this professor was very sweet but in the second class he seems strict when it comes to punctuality and assignment submission deadlines.

The class was dispersed at 10:30 a.m.

Dishana was sitting outside on the bench kept in the corridor waiting for the class to end.

Shritaanjana came outside the class and met Dishana and the first thing Dishana said was "Ye reservation wale log bohot uchalte hain"

(They get a seat through reservation, and after that, they just come to mess around.)

Shritaanjana couldn't understand her comment. "Matlab?" (Means?)

"Bhai sir SC hain"

(Bro sir is SC)

"Toh?? Usse kya hua? Wo doctor hain,aur humaare professor "

(So?? What's wrong with that? He is a doctor, and our professor.)

"Reservation le kar in logo ko seat mil jati hai bass uske baad bakchodi karne aati hai"

(They get a seat through reservation, and after that, they just come to mess around.)

Shritaanjana - Ye kya bol rahi hai..Dishana ye sab galat baat mat bola kar.

(What are you saying...Dishana, don't say such wrong things)

Dishana - Abeee yarr sorry

(I am sorry)

"Miss. Dishana" Shritaanjana and Dishana heard from behind and looked back. Professor Hemant Valmiki was standing there.

"S...sir" Dishana stuttered, she knew he had heard what she said.

"Now when you have raised questions on my qualification based on my caste I don't need to give you justification but I am answering your because you are my student. I am here because I deserve it Dishana.My caste is a part of my identity. It isn't something for which I should be ashamed of, I am the first man from my family who has become a doctor and now an assistant professor. I have been teaching in this institution since last year and you are my second batch of students. I have completed my MBBS and then completed my MD in physiology. Yes, I got admission in the reserved quota but that doesn't mean I am any less qualified. I have given the same exams in all the semesters that the rest of my batchmates gave. I was taught the same that unreserved category students were taught. My name is Hemant Valmiki and my father is an auto driver and my mother was a sweeper and I am not ashamed to admit it. I have achieved everything from my hardwork and I am proud of them and my descent. Are you a Hindu?"

"Yes sir"

"Do you know who wrote Ramayana?"

"Yes Valmiki ji"

"I am the descendant of that great author and I will try to be a good professor for you"

Dishana had tears in her eyes. "I am very sorry sir. I shouldn't have passed such an insensitive and derogatory remark."

"It's okay Dishana. You don't need to cry. We all learn in our lives. I am your teacher and you are my student, it's my responsibility to correct you on your mistakes. Delhi is my home and I know staying far away from home is difficult for you all, this is the time to learn and enjoy. Accept your mistakes correct them and move on.

"Yes sir"

"Shritaanjana and Dishana never discuss the conversation that happened today.We all learn from our mistakes and I hope you learn from your mistake Miss Dishana"

"Yes sir I have understood I am sorry again."

"Yes sir understood" Shritaanjana added.

"It's okay have a nice day and be on time tomorrow "

"Yes sir" both said in unison.

Shritaanjana's respect for the teacher increased by manifold times, even Dishana learned a big lesson today.

Shritaanjana got a slight crush on him because of his personality. She likes the professor in a subtle way because of the way he defended himself but there was someone who fell in love with the professor.

[DISHANA PANDEY × HEMANT VALMIKI STORY WILL BE UPDATED ON 'VIGNETTES OF MARITAL LOVE'. I WILL INFORM YOU WHEN I UPDATE IT.]

Dishana and Sanjana were sitting on the bench waiting for the next professor to come.

They saw some girls going to another classroom.

Shritaanjana - Where are they all going?

Dishana - I don't know.

Shritaanjana - You have to go out with your date isn't it?

Dishana - Ya I'll go to the hostel after this class get ready and leave.

Shritaanjana saw Sakia coming towards them. She asked her "Where are all these girls going?"

Sakia - Hemant sir's this period is free he has asked if any student has any doubt they can go to him for doubt clearance. The professor has cancelled the class so our period is free now.

Shritaanjana - Okay. Where are you going Dishana?

Dishana - Umm I have some doubts I will ask sir.

Shritaanjana raised her eyebrows.

"Alright"

Dishana left with her copy to the same classroom where others were.

"PRASHANT GUJJAR"

"PRASHANT GUJJAR"

"KONIKA DABAS"

"KONIKA DABAS"

She saw the seniors campaigning for the elections. Elections have started in their university and she can see on the walls the posters of the participating candidates. The University is very active in politics, the candidates from both parties are busy in campaigning. It's Prashant Gujjar Vs Konika Dabas this time.Sakia told her - "Prashant will win this time"

"Why?"

"Because he is from the ruling party. Means see there are two parties who contest elections - one is Rashtriya Ekjut Chhatra Sangathan(RECT) which is the student wing of the current ruling party BPUS."

Listening BPUS party, Shritaanjana's mind immediately struck it is Ranvijay's father's party.

Sakia - And the second party is United National Students Party (UNSP) which is the student wing of the opposition party.

Shritaanjana - Okay

Sakia - Last time candidate from UNSP, Teerth Jha won the elections so this time RECT has put all their efforts and in the elections this year held in Delhi BPUS came to power so RECT will surely win this time. The wave is flowing towards RECT's side.

Shritaanjana - Oooo.

Ranvijay's thoughts were revolving in Shritaanjana's head so she decided to leave from there.She went to mess to eat something. She was very hungry.

She forgot to bring money as she isn't habitual of keeping money so it slipped out of her mind. She had ten rupees in her bag so she bought a biscuit and ate her first meal of the day - biscuits. She ate her medicines after that which she takes after her accident happened. It was such a major accident that she hasn't been able to cope up with it and these days her legs were paining a lot due to climbing stairs multiple times in a day of her classes. She took out her shoes and massaged her feet. She took out a foldable walking stick from her bag . She wore back her shoes, opened the stick and started walking out of the mess with the help of it. Sanjana has a shorter right leg, so she uses a walking stick sometimes for support like today her feet were paining, her pelvis tilts downward on the right, her trunk leans toward that side, and her left (longer) leg circumducts to avoid dragging while walking.

The pairs of eyes that were fixed on her got widened. All the men who were appointed to keep a watch on her didn't see this coming. They noticed that her gait is not like normal people but today they saw that there is a serious problem with her legs.

She walked slowly outside the message and went towards her class. She attended her anatomy class and was surprised to find Dishana attending the class.

"Why didn't you go?"

"Hemant sir told to attend anatomy's class. It's very important to understand anatomy"

"Oo okayy"

"Are all your doubts clear?"

"He said I didn't attend today's class so I need to read all the topics ye yaugyy today by myself and if there are any doubts he will clear it. By the way he is unmarried Cristina told me. She knows everything about everyone, she is journalist of our class"

Shritaanjana chuckled.

After the class, they were back to hostel. She called in the hospital and took her mother's updates. She ate her lunch in the mess, and left for college again as she had applied in the singing society of her university and today were the auditions.

She waited for her turn. The members of the singing society identified her as they had seen the singing show in which she participated and without auditions she was selected in the core team of the singing society. She felt very happy after meeting them. Finally, it was the first time in this college where she felt that she is here to do something big in her life and that she is not sitting idly and she has taken steps towards her progress.

She was back to her hostel room taking rest.

*Flashback ends*

"When are you joining back the college Aarya" Aarya's grandmother asked.

"I am going day after tomorrow, my exams will start that's why"

"How will you prepare when you haven't attended classes"

"Papa had sent some tutors so they guided me and Lakshita will help me"

"She is in Jaipur" Aahana said.

"Who??"

"Lakshita..I saw on her instagram's story"

"Oohh my insta is deactivated so I didn't know. Call on her phone number if you have it"

"Wait a minute"

Aahana called her.

"Hello Aahana didi" Lakshita picked up the call.

"Lakshita ki bacchi tu hai kahaa?" Aarya spoke.

(Where the hell are you Lakshita?)

"Aarya tu kaha hai? Mumbai kab gayi. Tujhe pata hai mai kahaa hu guess kar"

(Where are youuu Aarya? When did you leave for Mumbai? Guess where am I?)

"Jaipur me hai...tu abhi kahaa hai?"

(You are in Jaipur...where are you at the moment?)

"Yarr mai toh abhi palace ghum rahi hu kafi sundar hai"

(I am looking around the palace..it's beautiful)

"Kon sa palace?"

(Which palace?)

"Rathore's palace bohot sundar aur magnificent hai"

(Rathore's palace it's beautiful and magnificent)

"Kahaa pe Rathore palace me?"

(Where are you in Rathore palace?)

"Mai abhi cannons dekh rahi hu jo yahaa rakhi hui hain tu Jaipur me hoti toh mai milne aati...tere number pe call Kiya tune uthaya nahi"

(I am watching cannons that are kept here..if you would have been in Jaipur I would have come to meet you...I called on your phone number but you didn't pick up my call)

"Haa phone nahi use kar rahi thi"

(I wasn't using my mobile phone)

"Acha Ghar pe sab thik hai ab" Lakshita asked.

(Is everything alright at home ?)

"Haan"

(Yes)

"Speaker pe hai call?"

(Is the call on speaker?) Lakshita asked.

"Haan"

(Yes)

"Lag hi raha tha.Tu kiske sath hai?"

(I felt so. Who are you with?)

"Gharwalo ke sath. Tu kiske sath hai?"

(With family. And you?)

"Mai papa aur Dhananjay ke sath hu..abhi palace band ho jayega do ghante me toh jaldi jaldi yahaa se ghum ke dusri jagah jayenge, Nayangarh fort janaa hai..wo bhi band ho jayega raat ko nau baje toh hum jaldi jaldi ghum rahe"

(I am with Papa and Dhananjay... the palace will close in two hours, so we'll quickly look around here and then go to another place. We have to visit Nayangarh Fort too... that also closes at 9 tonight, so we're rushing through.)

"Achaaa..tu cannon wali jagah hai naa...ek kaam kar...mai ek uncle ko bhej rhi hu wo tujhe guide karenge aur palace ghuma denge...wo jahaa jahaa jaye aa jaana...bina kuch bakwas kare"

(Okay...you are at the place where cannons are kept, right? Do one thing I am sending an uncle, he will guide you and show you around the palace. Just follow him wherever he goes... and don't talk nonsense.)

"Mai bakwas kahaa kar paati hu...tujhse baat karne ke liye toh do mahine pehle appointment leni padti hai"

(When do I ever talk nonsense? To even get to talk to you, one has to book an appointment two months in advance)

"Taana maarne ka tareeka thoda 'cazuel' hai" Aarya said playfully.

(The way you taunt is a little too 'casual')

"Haa mai 'cazuel' tareeke se hi taane marti hu" Lakshita replied with the same mischief.

(Yes, I give taunts in a very 'casual' way only)

"Achaa jaldi aa ja.."

(Alright, come quickly.)

"Okay" Aarya heard in call Lakshita was saying to her father "Papa papa...Aarya kisi uncle ko bhej Rahi hai taki wo hume guide karein"

(Papa papa... Aarya is sending some uncle to guide us around.)

"Achaa...wo abhi kahaa hai?" Her father asked.

(Oh really... where is she now?)

"Mumbai hai shayad...usne apni behen ke fone se call Kiya tha"

(In Mumbai, I think... she called from her sister's phone.)

"Thik hai...wo college nahi join ki kya abhi?"

(Alright...hasn't she joined college yet?)

"Nahi mai puchna hi bhul gayi kab join karegi...uske saare assignments maine submit kar diye hain lekin baki bhagwan jaane...cheating kiye bina wo pass ho sakti hai par usko chit le jaane ki badi chul rehti hai"

(No, I actually forgot to ask when she will join... I've submitted all her assignments, but God knows about the rest... she can pass without cheating, but she just has this itch to sneak in chits)

"Haww kamini"(Haww, witch) Aarya said hanging up the call.

Ranvijay - Sharam kar le...SHARAM...teri imandari ka saboot de rhi thi teri dost(Shame on you... SHAME...your friend was vouching for your honesty.)

Samrat - Kya image hai iski... cheating karke pass hoti hai.

(What an image she has...passes exams only through cheating.)

Ranvijay - Iss baar Aarya beech hall me akele exam dengi...mai bhi dekhta hoon kaise cheating ho pati hai...

(This time, Aarya will sit alone in the middle of the hall for the exam...let's see how she manages to cheat then)

Aarya - Mujhe challenge mat kariye...karke dikha dungi

(Don't challenge me...I will prove I can do it.)

Ranvijay - Achaaaaa...ek toh galat kaam karti hai upar se seena zori

(Ohhh...so first you do wrong, and then you act defiant on top of it?)

Aarya said in a low voice looking down fiddling with her shirt "Aapse kam" (Less than you.)

Ranvijay - Kya bola

(What did you say?)

Aarya looked up..."Aapse kam galat kaam karti hu..."

(I do fewer wrongs than you...)

"Achaaa maate" (Ohhh, Maate)Ranvijay was amused listening her reply.

"Haan beta sudhar jao..warna kisi din mata rani samne prakat ho jayengi aur nau deviyo ke darshan ek hi din karaa dengi"

(Yes dear, you'd better improve yourself...otherwise one day Goddess Durga herself will appear before you, and you'll see all nine goddesses in a single day!)

Everyone was shocked to hear Aaryanka's reply.

Sanjana giggled...."Well said"

Ranvijay looked at his wife, Sanjana replied "Kuch galat nahi bola usne...aap usko baar baar ungli karoge toh wo jawab nahi degi kya...aise ghuriye mat mujhe...sudhar jao ab...ek beta bhi hai ab toh"

(She didn't say anything wrong... if you keep poking her again and again, won't she answer back? Don't glare at me like that... you'd better change your ways now. After all, you have a son too)

Ranvijay shook his head in dismissal.

Ranvijay immediately sent his men to bring Aarya's friend. He knows Lakshita is Aarya's college best friend.

Aarya stood up and ran towards the gate waiting to give her friend a surprise. She was hiding behind the curtains.

Her nani said "Ye sabki nani hai...aisa jawab degi samne wala hakka bakka reh jata hai aur ye bol ke nikal jati hai.....ek baar aise hi humaare yaha ek neighbour aaye the Mr. Talpade, toh unki aadat thi aate hi Maths ka question puchne lagte the in sab se aur ye sab solve naa kar paye toh khoob apne bete ki taareef karte the...toh wo aise hi lambi lambi fenkte the ki 'Mera beta toh ninth me hai aur saara sawal lagaa leta hai eleventh class ki maths ka'...toh ab ye sab ikdm uss aadmi se irritate ho gaye the jab bhi aate the yahi sab bolte the...ye rahi hogi fifth sixth me toh kya ki ek din wo aaye toh ye puchi...'Uncle when does your son get free time from his busy schedule? I want to ask him a Maths question' toh wo bade khush hue usko bole ki 'Come in the evening beta he will help you' unke jaate hi ye ladki bhagte hue upar gayi...upar ke maale pe Tushar Khanna ki family rehti thi toh unke bete se maths ki eleventh class ki book le kar aayi aur solve karwaa ke laayi thi kuch questions...aur wait kar rahi thi kab sham hogi panch bajte hi ye aur Aahana maine dekha baahar gaye...mai upar se dekhti thi ye sab kahaa ja rahe hain...toh dekhaa ye gyarah barah baccho ka jhund tha, jo sham ko khelte the sath me ye sab Mr. Talpade ke ghar ja rahe hain...mai bhagte hue gayi ki ye sab kya karne ka soch rahe hain...mai pohochi waha das minute lagaa mujhe toh dekhti hu uske bete ko eleventh ka maths ka question de kar bol rahi thi 'Solve kro aur do' ab wo bechara bache ko aata hi nahi tha...uske papa toh lambi lambi fenk kr chale jate the..oo bhai mai uske baad kahi ki Aarya Aahana ghar chalo aur ye dono naniya wahi baith gayi dharne pe ki jab tak bhaiya question solve nahi karenge hum nahi jayenge warna uske papa aa kar usse maths ka question nahi puchenge...he bhagwan "

(She always has this knack for giving answers that leave the other person stunned, completely speechless, and then she just walks away like nothing happened.One of the most unforgettable incident was the day she dealt with our neighbour, Mr. Talpade. Now, Mr. Talpade had this infuriating habit, every time he visited, before even asking how anyone was, he would pull out a maths question. If the kids couldn't solve it, he would instantly puff up with pride and begin his usual speech: 'My son is in ninth grade and he can solve questions from the eleventh-grade maths book!' He repeated that line so often it had practically become his anthem.Everyone was sick of it - and that's when she decided to strike. She must have been in fifth or sixth grade then. With a face as innocent as a saint's, she asked him one day,

'Uncle, when does your son get free from his busy schedule? I want to ask him a maths question.' Uncle nearly glowed with delight. 'Come in the evening, beta. He'll help you,'he said, puffing up his chest. The moment he left, she bolted upstairs. Tushar Khanna's family lived on the upper floor, and their son had an eleventh-grade maths book. She borrowed it, ran her finger down a few pages, picked some problems, got them solved from his son, and copied them neatly. Then she waited - like a little general planning a war. By five o'clock, the battlefield was ready. She, Aahana, and nearly a dozen colony kids formed a little army and marched to Talpade's house. Curious, I followed behind, half-expecting trouble.What I saw made me clap a hand over my mouth to stop my laughter. She had placed the solved eleventh-grade questions in front of Talpade's son and said, with mock seriousness,'Here. Solve these and give me the answers.' The poor boy turned pale. The questions were way beyond him. His father's endless bragging had backfired spectacularly.

I rushed over and whispered, 'Aarya, Aahana, let's go home now!' But these two weren't budging. Folding their arms, they sat right there on the floor like seasoned protesters.

'We won't leave,' they declared, 'until bhaiya solves these questions. Otherwise, his father will just keep coming to us with maths problems!'

And there they stayed - two pint-sized rebels on a dharna(strike) - while poor Mr. Talpade's son fumbled helplessly.Even today, whenever the story is retold, everyone bursts into laughter. Because that day, for the first time, Talpade had no maths question to ask - and no bragging left to do.)

"Fir kya huaa" (What happened after this?) Sanjana asked out ocuriosity.

"Fir kyaa!!! wo din hai aur aaj ka din hai Mr. Talpade humaare ghar kabhie nahi aaye...beta solve hi nahi kar paata unkaa...ghar pe daante itna in dono ko...Mriganka Anamika apna sar peet dete the in dono ka kaarnama jhelte jhelte...ye teeno hi Sameer bhi jab aa jata tha Ghar kabhie shnt reh hi nahi sakta hai...fir jab Aarya yahaa aa gayi tab Aahi akeli ho gayi...humesha ek hi ratt lagaayi rehti thi...'I will live with Aarz and Samy..call them back' par jab teeno milte hain humesha jhagadte rehte hain"

(And then what! From that day till today, Mr. Talpade has never stepped foot in our house again. His son could never solve the questions, and at home he got scolded so badly because of these two. Poor Mriganka and Anamika used to hold their heads in frustration, tired of handling the mischief these girls created. Even Sameer, whenever he came over, added to the chaos. Peace was a stranger in that house.Later, when Aarya moved here, Aahi was left alone. She kept repeating one line like a stuck record: "I will live with Aarz and Samy... call them back." But the funny thing is, whenever all three of them were actually together, they always ended up fighting!)

"Haan teeno bachpan se sath me bade hue na..bhag gayi thi ye ghar se Aarya se milne ke liye" Mriganka reminded them.

(Yes, of course. They grew up together since childhood... don't forget, she once ran away from home just to meet Aarya)

Anamika - Haan mai kitna darr gayi thi ki ye ladki kaha hai...fir dekha guard isko le kar aa raha...mai dekhti hu bag me kapde rakhe hue the...mai toh itna shocked reh gayi...I asked her where were you going 'I am going to Delhi to meet Aarz' aise bolte bolte aansu nikal rahe the iske..mera dil uss din itna bhari ho gya...maine turant flight ki Delhi ki aur milwaane le gayi isko..matlab kyuki baccho par psychological impact kitna padta hai humlog realise nahi kar paate hain....isliye Maine kahaa bhyi in dono ko milwaa do warna pata nahi kya karenge dono...Aarya bhi roz wahaa se call karke roti thi 'Mujhe vapas aana hai Mumbai...mai yahaa nahi rahungi mujhe le chalo' baap re wo bhi kya time tha.

(Yes, I was so terrified that day, wondering where this girl had gone. Then I saw the security guard bringing her back. I looked inside her bag - it was packed with clothes! I was so shocked. I asked her, 'Where were you going?' and she, with tears rolling down her cheeks, said, 'I am going to Delhi to meet Aarz.' My heart grew so heavy that day...I immediately booked a flight to Delhi and took her there myself to meet Aarya.You see, we don't realize how deeply these things impact children psychologically. That's why I said, 'Let them meet, otherwise who knows what these two will end up doing.' Aarya too, from Delhi, would call us every day crying, 'I want to come back to Mumbai... I don't want to stay here, please take me back.' Oh God what a time that was.)

Vijay looked at his daughter who was still hiding behind the curtain waiting for her friend and he realised how much his daughter had suffered in all this...all his kids suffered but he found out a new suffering that she endured...the sadness of being separated from the people with whom she spent her entire childhood.

"Surpriseeeeeeeeee" she jumped in front of her friend as Lakshita reached the door steps....

"Aaaryaaaaaaaaaaa" he heard Lakshita...they both hugged each other and jumped together circling around. He saw the childishness and the playfulness she has in her.

(Song for this moment :-

Pretty little baby (yeah, yeah)

Pretty little baby (yeah, yeah)

Pretty little baby, you say that maybe

You'll be thinkin' of me, and try to love me

Pretty little baby

I'm hoping that you do

You can ask the flowers, I sit for hours

Tellin' all the bluebirds, the bill and coo birds

Pretty little baby

I'm so in love with you

The girl was wearing a beautiful floral yellow frock and she had tied a white ribbon as a bow on her hair. She was a tall beautiful girl, having a natural smile on her face.



"Is this your home Aarya?"

"Yesss"

"Wow it's so beautiful..tu kitni Ameer hai behen.."

(Wow, it's so beautiful... you're so rich, bro)

"Mere papa ameer hain, mai nahi"

(My father is rich, not me)

"Waah iss hisab se mai kya bolu mere papa gareeb hain, Aur...aur mai bhi"

(Waah! In that case, what should I say? My father is poor... and... and so am I)

Aarya laughed out loud. They all laughed hearing her.

"Namaste uncle" Aarya said to Lakshita's father.

"Namaste beta..kaisi ho?"

(How are you?)

"Mai thik hu uncle..aaiye andar"

(I am fine uncle..come inside)

Her father greeted by folding hands and the RATHORE'S also greeted him. The hospitality started.

Both the friends were continuously talking, they weren't even taking breath for a moment...the family saw them talking continuously for two hours. Meanwhile, Lakshita's father and her brother Pavas were sitting and Vijay and Ranvijay were talking to them about something or the other. By their talks they got to know that Lakshita's mother is no more and he is a single father. Lakshita's mother passed away in an accident and she and her younger brother Dhananjay have been raised by her father, Dhirendra Rai.

Dhananjay was sitting quietly when his eyes landed on a girl who was sitting quietly like her, she was beautiful, "Apsara come here" he heard Aarya and that girl stood up...he lowered his gaze..."She justifies her name...Apsara" he thought.

Aarya introduced her sister to Lakshita and Dhananjay.

"Hi" she said meekly.

"Hello" he replied..

"You both can be friends...you both are almost the same age. Sit and make him your friend Apsara" Aarya pulled Apsara on the couch.

They both sat awkwardly listening to their sisters conversations and laughing and smiling with them.

Mriganka said "Beta why aren't you eating anything? Bhaisaab today you will eat dinner with us and tomorrow our men will show you the entire Jaipur...you don't need to worry"

"Aree nahi nahi bhabhi ji itna nahi karne ki zarurat hai"

(Oh no, no, Bhabhi ji, you really don't need to do all this.)

"Bhaisaab koi formality nahi hai...Lakshita bhi apni hi bacchi hai"

(Bhaisaab, please, no formalities. Lakshita is just like our own daughter.)

Vijay said and they warmly invited them for dinner.

Mriganka to Dhananjay - Beta why are you sitting so quietly?

Dhananjay just nodded his head shyly. His black square glasses beautifully complements his face. He was merely 17 years old...no beard nothing...an innocent boy...he was beautiful and handsome...generally boys get the compliment of being handsome but Mriganka said "You are such a beautiful and handsome boy...his eyes are so beautiful" he got shy and smiled saying "Thankyou"

"What's your name beta?" Mriganka asked.

"Aunty Dhananjay"

"What?" He said in so low volume nobody could hear.

"Dhananjay...Dhananjay Dhirendra Rai" he said louder.

"Okay in which standard are you beta?"

"Eleventh"

"Which stream have you chosen?"

"Commerce with Maths"

"Okay very nice."

"Are you completing your education from Varanasi?" Mriganka knew Lakshita is from Varanasi. She has met her father before also when she had gone to drop Aarya to her college.

"Yes aunty"

"Okay very nice" Mriganka could see hesitation in her family's eyes as for them they were meeting celebrities, people about whom they read in newspapers...RATHORE'S were a big name.

"So you want to become a cricketer?" Mriganka asked.

"Yess aunty"

Mriganka - Yes I have seen you practicing in the field. You played in Ranji this time?

Dhananjay - Yes...

Samrat - What you want to become baller, batsmen or all rounder

Dhananjay's reply was very quick "I want to become a fast bowler and I am a decent batsmen"

"Let's play" Samrat said.

"Here?"

"We have a cricket ground let's play there"

And the boys and men stood up to play. The girls - Aaryanka, Lakshita, Aahana and Apsara joined them.

The game started...Samrat bowled the first ball and Dhananjay played a shot. By his shot they understood that he knows how to bat, he bowled the second ball and the ball was up in the air outside the ground. It was a six clearly. Samrat clapped his hands.

"Launde ko khelne aata hai"

(The boy knows to play he appreciated Dhananjay.

And Aaryanka and Aahana cheered for him whereas Lakshita was feeling very proud from inside that her younger brother is playing so well. Apsara was looking at the boy amused.

Dhananjay was catch out on a ball after making 64 runs in 37 balls.

"Wow what a goal" (See? That's the effect of the company you hang out with) they all heard and they looked beside them...it was Apsara...who cheered for Samrat. They all chuckled.

Dhananjay was handing over the bat to Digvijay.

"It's not a goal it's a wicket" Dhananjay corrected her.

"Oh" Apsara understood. He sat beside his sister and Apsara looked at Dhananjay. She found him attractive while he was playing cricket. Aarya also went to play and she also hit six..."Aahaa Aarya knows how to play cricket" Digvijay was amused to see this.

"Sangati ka asar padta hai" Samrat said winking...everybody chuckled understanding his meaning.

Aahana - Obviously she would know how to play cricket...she has her interests in the game.

Aahana teased her more.

Aarya - Haha very funny...your interests lie in badminton go play the game( she said to Samrat) and your interests lie in film direction ( she said to Aahana)

In saying this, she didn't see the ball coming and was bowled out by Digvijay.

Her comment cleared many doubts in Vijay, Ranvijay and Digvijay's head they got a clear cut idea that Aahana is dating Raghavendra...because he is into film direction.

"Cheating cheating I didn't see the ball" and all the Rathore men said in unison "You should be vigilant enough to sense what's happening in your surroundings."

The collective echo of their voices jolted Aarya "GOT IT...CHEATERS PLAYED WELL" she said and handed over the bat to Aahana.

"Di someone's calling" Aahana understood what Aarya meant.

"Coming" she handed over the bat to Lakshita and picked up the call walking out of the ground. Aaryanka whispered something in Lakshita's ears and she gasped keeping her hand on her mouth as if the hot tea has been served 💅🏻.

.

.

.

.

Sanjana was in her room. Her whole day revolves around her son, raising a child is a tough task. It's an unending profession. Once you become a parent, you are always a parent.

.

.

The dinner was served. Everyone was having dinner.

After dinner, Aarya said "Lakshita uncle Dhananjay let me click your pictures...you guys haven't clicked pictures". Lakshita was up for photos she immediately stood in front of an artistic painted wall, every wall of the palace is a scenery in itself. Her father stood in middle and her brother stood on the left side and Lakshita on the right side, holding their father's elbow and then Lakshita pecked her father's cheeks and Aarya clicked their photograph.

Lakshita - Dhananjay you also do it.

Dhananjay made an irritated face at her request but then pecked his father's cheeks and the picture was clicked.

After that the father and son gave space to the girl of their house and like every other girl, Lakshita was giving poses Aarya was correcting her more on how she should pose. She was showing her and Lakshita was posing and she was clicking her friend's pictures and then they both started pouting and sticking their tongue out clicking selfies.

Vijay saw how casual Lakshita's father was to all this and how happy Lakshita and Dhananjay looked around their father. She wore the dress that she wanted to wear. He knows that it's common nowadays girls wear such dresses and he doesn't judge anyone but he knows how things are portrayed in front of the world. They are not from a normal family, every picture of every dress can be circulated on social media and create problems. He is from a royal family and he knows they have to maintain a public image but because Aarya has not been raised in that culture, there's a lot of difference. He always tried to bend her so that she changes but Aarya bended, she didn't change. He knows it's very common for people of their society and nowadays the society we live in, middle class, upper class or lower class everyone has evolved and it's common for girls to wear such dresses. When tourists visit Jaipur, he has seen the kind of dresses they wear and he has no problem in it but because he has seen the realities of people and how they are, that's why he wants the women of his house to be always fully covered. He knows the people who judge, will even judge them in those clothes or sexualise them in those clothes also but he always chooses a safer option for women of his house and his option doesn't end here. For the similar reasons his family even restricts the movement of their women. He knows the world has changed and evolved and in today's world they are extremely orthodox and misogynist but he doesn't care what the world says. According to him, the world doesn't come to save his family when they are in danger so he doesn't care what they think about him when it comes to saving his family from dangers. He never restricted them from enjoying when they are in a safe space, they own three islands where they can wear whatever they want and do whatever they like. He never restricted them there, he didn't even restrict Mriganka from enjoying her life when she lived in Mumbai during their separation phase but he always kept a close watch and control. He always had this tight control over where she goes and what she does. Even when he opened up about everything to Mriganka recently where he told her everything his mother did. Mriganka was very angry on him but she handed it maturely her words were "I don't want to destroy my time in fighting with you anymore, we have already wasted more than half of our life in all this, now I don't want any more tensions I am feeling very bad but I can't live with all this baggage anymore. I have wasted many years of my life in the hope that one day we will live together happily, I don't want anymore problems in my happily ever after. After this day I don't want you to discuss this with me otherwise I won't mind leaving you." And that was the last thread, her warning scared me honestly I know I won't let her leave but I won't be able to bear that hate anymore. I want to live my life with her now...I want to be a part of her life and do everything that I always wanted to do. She is my life, I am not the best human in the world but what do you expect from a monster like me? It's a fairytale where a bad man changes for the girl, a person changes throughout their life but they can't change themselves completely, I have improved but it's not easy, living the reality is suffocating.

Lakshita and her family went back and now Lakshita was going back Delhi with Aarya. Her brother and father will leave for Varanasi as scheduled but Lakshita will not leave for Delhi as decided prior instead she will go next day with Aarya in the private jet.

"Babyyy"

"Listening..."

"What are you doing shona?"

"Just taking rest. I am tired of lying in the bed"

"It's time to take a long nap. It's already 12 at night"

"I sleep the entire day....it doesn't matter whether it's morning or night."

Digvijay chuckled "So what? My baby needs to rest"

"You take care of Charvi full time...you have become a sit home hubby"

"My presence is much needed here. I want to stay with you."

"Hmm hmm..." Sana teased him.

"Hmm hmm hmm" Adi teased her back and bent down towards her face.

"Hmm hmm hmm hmm" Sana rubbed her nose with his.

"Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm" He rubbed his nose with hers more.

She felt tickled, and she giggled.

"Hmmmmmm hmmmmmm hmmmmmm" she said and tickled him with her fingers he laughed out loudly.

"Baby dolllll" he said and bit her cheeks she playfully pushed him.

He rubbed his beard on her face.

"No don't...your beard is overgrown"

"Chikna ghada ban jau?"

(Should I become a polished vessel then?) he joked.

She laughed.

"New look try karo...ye beard shave karoo...buddhe lag rahe ho"

(Try a new look...shave this beard, you are starting to look old)

"Thik hai madam...par mooch nahi hataaunga"

(Alright, madam...but I am not shaving the moustache.)

"Ji sarkar" (As you command, sir)

she replied with a playful salute.

He turned around she thought he is going to shave his beard but he turned back again and picked her up in his arms.

She laughed again..."You always show off your muscles"

"Baby it's all for youuuuhhhh" he said and pecked her lips. He placed her on the slab, lathered shaving cream and gave her the razor she shaved his beard. And a new person emerged...after so many days

Digvijay Singh Rathore was back with his old charm.

"Chikna ghadaa mera"(My polished vessel) he rubbed his cheeks to her cheeks..."Its softy softy now..." He pecked her lips and took out his T- shirt to change.

His burned back told the story of his own sacrifices and dangers.

"Babyyyyyyy"

"Yessss..."

"Answer my questions - first one if I met you in normal conditions like if you were not sent by your father to trap, you would have considered me or not for dating and the second question is what if I had chosen to separate when I was given the chance. You would have let me go or not?"

"Answering your second question firstly - mera baap bhi tujhe mujhse door nahi kar sakta..."

(Even my father can't separate me from you)

"Papa suniye aapke bete kya keh rahe hain" she joked.(Papa listen what is your son saying)

He chuckled "And answering your first question, I love to tame untamed horse and here I had a complete package of a woman - controversial, fiesty, vindictive, spiteful. Trolled but equally loved , ooh my my....How could this predator miss the chance to woo the she - demon herself."

She chuckled.......

Digvijay - Whenever I used to see these articles "Sana Sheikh Rahmani calls Bani Saluja 'dirty piece of linen' and passes classist remarks on her co - actor Varun Teja, calls him 'Two rupee servant', she called another supermodel 'a misfit in the profession with zero sense of fashion' she called Zamana Raizada 'a faux pas of the Indian media' "

"Stop stop that's it you...have by hearted everything? I feel so embarrassed"

"I was so shocked when you said Zamana Raizada is a faux pas of the Indian media. What the fuck were you thinking?"

"She was asking such questions like why did you cheat on blah blah person and all....I mean you are not supposed to ask such questions but actually it was my team's mistake as well...they said to her that all kinds of personal questions can be asked except current relationship status so I was not prepared for those questions. I was just so angry over her that when I was asked in an interview 'How do you see Zamana Raizada as?' so I said 'she is a faux pas of the Indian media'"

Digvijay shaked his head giggling.

"I enjoyed the headings a lot...I was amused to know you as a person...while I was researching on you everyday I would hear something or the other...like once I was informed that you locked yourself inside the hotel room for two days while you were shooting for a film in Singapore because the song you were shooting didn't include your name in the lyrics while hero's name was included in the lyrics."

"Ya I was very angry...I said either you are changing the lyrics and including my name or I am not doing the film...more than half of the film's shoot was over..and then the director included my name...like how could they miss my name...you know the problem with the industry is they take female actors as liability... if the same would have happened to a male actor that his name wouldn't have been included then they would have created a while drama on the set and when I did the same I was called a drama queen. I think that was the basic respect I deserved...it wasn't as if the actor knead working with was in the industry from 50 years...he started his journey after me so how could they prioritize him over me...I literally hated the biasedness."

"I am glad you stood up for yourself"

"Thank you, I mean you made me realise the places where I was wrong but here I wasn't wrong it was a filler song just for drama...they could have included my name in the song so I made sure THEY DID." she said with her clarity of mind and the authority she has in her voice.

"This...exactly this....this fire in you...I love it."

Their moment broke when they found their baby crying.

"Charviiiii" Digvijay stood up and picked up his daughter...."Awlelele mera beta(my baby)...kya bhayi kya chahiye princess ko meri(what does my princess want)...papa should change princess's diaper?"as he checked her diaper a foul smell spread across the room.

Sana - Call any house help she will change.

Adi - No I will change it and clean her up. Isn't it my princess? Papa will take care of his baby....

Charvi was crying. When Digvijay took out her diapers and cleaned her up, she stopped crying.

Sana - Baby say mumma...say maa maa

Adi - Choti bachi hai wo...

(She is a little baby..)

Sana's face dropped down..."When will she start speaking?"

Digvijay chuckled...."Soon..babydoll"

He said and pecked her lips.

She smacked her hand on the bed whining about it, Charvi's hand was near the place where she smacked saying "BUT I WANT HER TO SPEAK."

"SANAAA" Digvijay's voice immediately dropped. His eyes weren't leaving that of Sana's. She immediately looked down "Sorry"

"IF THIS REPEATS, YOU WILL REGRET."

"I am sorryyy"

He took a long breath and lingered a long kiss on her forehead.

"Dont behave carelessly baby c'mon now close your eyes"

"But I don't want to sleep"

"BABY PLEASE SLEEP"

"But I don't...."

"BABY SLEEP"

"But I..."

"SLEEPPP"

"But..."

The loud noise of the punch on the wall muted her. His eyes weren't leaving hers...Charvi started crying.

Sana was going to hold her baby girl but Digvijay snapped his fingers at her, no words were needed for him to stop her, her eyes were closed.

He picked up his baby girl in his arms and swung her in his arms she stopped crying and he laid her again on the bed. He knew his baby doll hasn't slept. He laid his daughter on his chest and took his wife in his embrace.

Sana was on his left side. She didn't open his eyes and he didn't let her. He shut off the lights and slowly drifted to sleep...his baby girl had also slept but his baby doll was still awake. She wasn't feeling sleepy even if she tried to sleep she couldn't. It was 3 in the night when Digvijay's sleep broke listening the signal.

When he looked beside him he didn't find his wife.

"SANAA" He said in his sleepy heavy voice.

He lifted up his daughter and placed her in her crib and went outside. He could detect her location easily. He went out of the room shirtless and went outside his cabin and he saw his mother and his wife going out of their wing.

Before he could call them, he heard his father "Mriganka Sana where are you two going?" His phone was in his hand. He understood his father had also got the signal.

Digvijay - SANAAAA

Sana was scared.

Mriganka - Sana just wanted to stroll a little so I was taking her out.

Vijay looked at her deadpan. "Did you ask me?"

Mriganka - We were just going to come back.

Vijay - I repeat DID YOU ASK ME??

Mriganka - Nohhh.

Digvijay - Neend kyu nhi aa rhi tujhe aaj?(Why can't you sleep today?)

Sana - Pta ni (I don't know)

Vijay - Sana did you ask Adi before deciding to go out?

Sana - No papa...she said meekly.

Vijay - You're not supposed to leave the premises of the wing without informing any male in the house. If Adi isn't available you'll ask me or Rana or Sameer but you won't leave without permission. Is that understood Sana?

Sana - Yes papa

Vijay - Good...Mriganka get inside the room.

Mriganka - But she needs fresh air.

Vijay - Let her husband take the charge, you don't need to become her mouthpiece she has a mouth to speak. You do what I am telling you to do.

Mriganka went inside the room and Vijay left behind her.

Digvijay sat in front of her wheelchair.

"Kahi dard ho rha hai? Kuch takleef hai baby? Batao mujhe"

(Are you in pain somewhere? Any problem, baby? Tell me.)

"Naii bass neend ni aarii"

(No, I just can't sleep)

He understood the dose of medicine has been decreased today by the doctors that's why she can't sleep but doctors said she should sleep and take rest to recover fast that's why they gave a medicine but it's dosage was high so doctors suggested him an injection. He had kept it in the drawer for usage whenever needed.

"I will take you out. Stay here. I am coming in a minute."

He went inside the room and took his baby girl in his arms and filled the injection with the prescribed dose and closed it with the cap.

He went outside to her, with their baby girl. He took his girls out in the garden. He helped Sana in getting up and made her sit on the ground, she took her baby girl. He sat down and looped his legs around his wife and held his baby girl on his shoulders and pulled back his wife so that she can lean on his chest.

"Stars are looking so beautiful and see the moon looks so beautiful...I have seen the moon and stars after many days...where is pole star?" She asked.

"See there" he pointed his fingers.

"Today we can see Venus also...see there it's Venus"

"Hmm yesss it's Venus. Do you know what Venus symbolises?" She asked.

"Yes love, beauty, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity, and victory. Everything that we both have."

She smiled and nodded her head.

He took out injection from his pocket.She saw it.

"No...no I will sleep" he heard his wife say.

"Shhhh...Charvi will wake up."

He carefully placed Charvi on his lap.

He ejaculated a little of the content from the injection in the air and then tapped on it a little, held his wife by her waist so that she is completely in his hold.

"I don't want to sleep...No no I don't want to sleep..enough"

"Noo...nooo" he could hear her.

But like always, she was completely under his control, he held her hand tightly and injected the injection at the right spot. He knows every nerve of her after all she has remained on anesthetics or sedatives for many years. This isn't the first time he is giving her sedative.

He loosened up his hold on her after injecting her with sedative.

"Done baby see it's done" he said and kissed her cheeks.

"I want to go out Adi...I don't want to stay inside a room...take me out...I don't want to live inside the boundaries"

"We are already out baby...but did you feel pain while I injected you?"

"No"

"Okay...I thought it's painful...now you must be habitual...areeh where is your bindi?"

"It must have fallen somewhere"

"Hmm...see that constellation do you know it's name?" He asked her.

"You told me once but I forgot"

"It's Capricornus"



"Capri...cwoornus" she said while yawning. He kept patting her back and took his baby girl above his shoulders again. Sana comforted herself more in the crooks of his neck. He neared his face closer to her and pecked her lips and then her forehead. And she slept comfortably. He stood up and carried his daughter inside placing her in the crib and then came back picked up his wife properly and took her inside the room to sleep comfortably.

.

Vijay and Mriganka were also sleeping in their room, both were sleeping comfortably in peace. Mriganka's face was above Vijay's chest and his hand was placed at her back.Her face was tear stained making it visible that what must have happened. He surely must have scolded her brutally because she didn't have any new bruises on her face.

.

RANVIJAY WAS AWAKE, SANJANA WASN'T SLEEPING.

SO BASICALLY THE AUTHOR MEANT TO SAY -

They both are having sex. Ranvijay is pouncing inside her and she has closed her eyes exhausted. He was taking in her beauty. Her son was breastfeeding and here Ranvijay was busy in pouncing inside her.

"Ranaa" she whispered giving him signal that now she wants him to stop and he stopped. He took her nipples inside his mouth and started sucking milk. Sanjana didn't stop him because she was happy that atleast he stopped. From last three hours he was busy in their special workout.

*Flashback begins*

The RECT student room -

"Is the motivation high?"

(So, is the motivation running high?)

"Yes bhai"

"Sirf motivation high hone se kuch nhi hoga...last time bhi dam dikha rahe the par hum haar gye...iss baar haarna nhi hai...saam saam dand bhed rajniti me har cheez chalti hai...books copies sab batwa do, mahilao ki zarurat ki cheezein baanti, mahila Suraksha, University me padhai ka star kaise sudharein ye sab kar liya, staff ka students ke prati vyavahar kaisa hai in sab muddo ko humne pichli baar bhi uthaya tha par hum haar gaye....iss baar humne kya alag Kiya hai jo Jeet ki leher humaari taraf hi hai...iss baar humne mehnat ki hai wo hum har baar karte hain par humne jaisi campaigning ki haj iss baar ek ek vidyarthi ko PRASHANT GUJJAR ka naam rataa hua haii...first years ko bhi pata hona chahiye vote Prashant bhai ko hi jaana hai...RECT PARTY ka sher hi iss baar baazi marega...university ka neta kaisa ho...PRASHANT GUJJAR JAISA HO...Prashant bhai ne kaam bhi bohot kiya aur wo poore haqdaar hain jeetne ke par vote padne se pehle hum kuch keh nahi sakte hain...daru paani bhi chalwaiye laundo me...saam saam dand bhed me vote aise bhi aata hai...sirf imaandari se kuch nahi hoga ye rajniti hai isme kootniti ka upyog poora poora karna chahiye...faida jahaa dikhe wahaa se faida uthana chahiye lekin khoon me vafadari bhi honi chahiye."

(Motivation alone won't win us anything. Last time too, we made big claims, but we lost. This time, losing is not an option. Remember-saam, daam, dand, bhed-in politics, every strategy counts. Distribute the books, copies, essentials for women, talk about women's safety, about how the academic standards in this university can improve, about how the staff treats students. We raised all of these issues last time too, but we still lost.

So what's different this time? Why should the wave of victory be with us? This time, we've not just worked hard-that we always do-but the kind of campaigning we've done now, every single student is chanting one name-Prashant Gujjar. Even the first years know-when the time comes to vote, the vote goes to Prashant bhai. This time, the lion of the RECT Party will win. A leader of the university should be like-Prashant Gujjar!

Prashant bhai has worked tirelessly. He deserves to win. But remember, until the votes are cast, nothing is certain. Distribute drinks, keep the boys happy-because in politics, saam, daam, dand, bhed works. Honesty alone is not enough-this is politics. You have to use strategy, and you must seize advantage wherever you find it. But above all, loyalty must run in our blood.)

Prashant - Ji bhai...bass aapki meherbani hai(it's all your blessings.)

"Chaliye jaiye aap sabhi...Prashant tu ruk"(Alright, everyone can leave. Prashant, you stay back.)

Prashant - Jii bhai

"Ek naam de raha hoon DISHANA PANDEY...MBBS FIRST YEAR...ROOM MATE SHRITAANJANA BANERJEE"

(I am giving you a name DISHANA PANDEY...MBBS first year...ROOM MATE SHRITAANJANA BANERJEE)

"Acha Dishana bhab..."

(Oh Dishana bhab...)

One gaze from the man sitting in front of him halted his words. He was the man himself -

Ranvijay Singh Rathore.

"Make sure no one troubles Dishana or her roommate"

"Ji bhai"

Next day -

RECT' STUDENT ROOM -

Farhad knocked the door and entered the room.

"Bhaiiii...."

"Hmm...."

"Shritaanjana behosh ho gyi"

(Shritaanjana fainted.,)

"Toh?"

(So)

"Toh usko hospital le gye hain..."

(So they've taken her to the hospital...)

"Koi bhi normal insan yahi karega...ja ab" Ranvijay dismissed Farhad.

(Any normal person would do that. Now go.)

Farhad was leaving.

"Uske sath koi hai ya akeli hai?"

(Someone's there with her or is she alone?)

Farhad turned "Jab behosh hui tab hostel ki ladkiya usko infirmary le gayi wahaa se unhone bataaya Abhijit Dey use hospital le kar gayaa...uske paer me dard hone lagaa tha girne se toh wo le gayaa."

(When she fainted, the hostel girls took her to the infirmary. From there, they said Abhijit Dey took her to the hospital... she had pain in her leg from the fall, so he took her.)

"Thik"

(Alright)

Farhad was leaving "Bhai vaise ek baat bolu...wo ladka sahi nahi lagta....uski nazare ladkiyo ko le kar thik nahi...waise uski fiance hai Shritaanjana toh farq nahi padta"

(Bhai, can I say something...that guy doesn't seem right. The way he looks at girls isn't decent. Anyway, since Shritaanjana is his fiancée, it doesn't really matter)

"Hmmm sabka theka humne nhi le rakha...uske baap tak pohochne ka zariya hai Shritaanjana Banerjee aur kuch nahi"(Hmmm...it's not like we've taken responsibility for everyone. Shritaanjana Banerjee is just a means to reach her father, nothing more)the reply came.

"CORION HOSPITAL, PARK STREET ROAD LE GAYE HAIN" (SHE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO CORION HOSPITAL, PARK STREET ROAD.)

Farhad just said this much.

The room was silent inside, he took a long breath, tapping his fingers on the table, creases formed on his forehead as if he was tensed....he stood up.............

And went out of the room......

"Bhaiiii kaise hain?"

(Bhaiiii how are you?)

He saw boys of his party greeting him. He nodded his head and acknowledged their presence but went straight to his car and sat inside.

He called Dishana.

"Hey Dishana"

"Hi Ranvijay"

"Where are you?"

"I am at a hospital"

"Which hospital? What happened?"

"Corion hospital...my roommate fainted today"

"Ohh...is she fine now?"

"No...she regained her consciousness but she fainted again in the hospital. Her mother is in coma, her father has called her back to Kolkata.Today in the morning her father called her and told her that her mother will not survive. She fainted listening this....and her legs twisted...she regained her consciousness but she is crying a lot and she fainted again due to low B.P."

"You should stay with her."

"Yes I am here...her fiance is in room with her."

"Hmm alone or doctors are present in the room?"

"Right now they are alone...I thought to give space to both of them."

"Ohh...you have an important class today of physiology? Will you miss it?"

"What to do I don't want to miss the classes but she is here"

"Don't worry I am coming to pick you up...her fiance is with her...he will look after her...I am coming to take you"

He hung up the phone and drove to Corion hospital. He called Dishana again.

"I am here"

Dishana came out waving him hi.

"How's she?" He asked.

"She has regained her consciousness but she is crying a lot. I need to stay with her until her fiance comes back."

"Okay, I will come along."

He went inside the hospital. Dishana went inside the room. Ranvijay was standing outside the room. He could hear her crying.

"Dishana I will not be able to live without my mother...I won't be able to live without her...." She was crying hysterically and saying those words.

Ranvijay called his men "What is up with KEENU ARORA?"

"Sir her condition has worsened...she isn't being treated properly... Vishwajeet Banerjee wants to kill her but he is keeping her in a coma so that he doesn't have to pay the debt of her company. They are getting divorced I have this information now I don't know more."

"Divorced?"

"Yes bhai from past two years..things have worsened between them"

"Alright...make sure she gets proper treatment she should not die"

He hung up the call.

"Dishana" Dishana heard Ranvijay calling her..."Come out for a minute"

Shritaanjana stopped for a second. Dishana went out.

"Her fiance has come back. He has gone for a minute after meeting me...my guards will drop you to the hostel...now go..."

"Shritaanjana can't be left alone "

"Give her some time alone"

"Let me see her"

"Dishana trust me she needs some alone time"

His eyes slowly went inside the room and he found her crying holding her knees. He could see the fear on her face of losing her mother forever.

He went inside the room and closed the door.

"Jaan"

Sanjana froze, she looked beside her, her heartbeat increased on seeing him, her tear stained face and her tear filled eyes took some seconds to recognise him.

"Ra...Rana"

He grabbed her face touching her all over caressing her cheeks and in the hasty minute of the moment his lips connected to hers.."Shhh mera bacha...I am here...kuch nhi hoga beta aapke mumma ko jab tak mai hu"

(Shhh my kiddo...I am here...nothing will happen to your mumma as long as I am there.)

She opened her mouth to speak but he sealed her lips again.

"Shhh"

"Ra.."

"Shhhhhh" her upper lip was licked between his lips and her lower lip was bitten by him.

"Sleep now c'mon"

He laid beside her and hugged her tightly..."It's alrighttt bacha...your mumma will be alright...now take rest" he said while patting her back. Her face hidden inside his shirt. The guards who saw the scene inside the room lowered down their gaze and smiled looking at each other. She was calm now, she wasn't crying, there was a reassurance that her mother will be alright.

A call was immediately ringed to their hukum sarkar Vijay Singh Rathore about his son's activities.

Sanjana had slowly fallen asleep, after two hours when she woke up, she found a nurse inside the room.

"Ranaaaaaa"

"Ranaaaaaa"

She called out.

"Nurse their was a boy sleeping here beside me. Where is he?"

"Mam no man was sleeping beside you...from last four hours you are sleeping alone...your fiance hasn't returned yet...your college staff has come to pick you up." She nodded her head. She called Abhijit but he didn't pick up the call.

She saw outside her female professor and hostel warden were there to pick her up. She went with them to the hostel but her mind was in a chaos was it a dream...a dream so realistic...she closed her eyes..............

"He was present there" she mumbled.

Abhijit's mother called her and said that her mother is fine now and she doesn't need to come to Kolkata.

She nodded her head but her mind was in chaos....

It was the first kiss of the season.

On call -

"I haven't sent you there to restart your love story with that girl....don't forget who she is and what she did to us!!!!"

"Yes papa"

"Don't prove yourself a disappointment I am warning you"

"Yes papa...I won't. How are y..."

The call ended before he could ask anything else to his father.

Shubho Mahalaya(Happy Mahalaya)

to everyone celebrating.Marking the end of Pitra Paksha (a fortnight dedicated to paying homage to ancestors) and the beginning of Devi Paksha (the fortnight dedicated to Goddess Durga)...Durga maa has begun her journey from Mount Kailash (her abode with Lord Shiva) to her maternal home on earth. Durga maa is not just nurturing and maternal, she is also a warrior goddess, who protects the universe from chaos and evil. She represents balance between fierce power and gentle compassion reminding us that feminine energy is both creative (giver of life) and destructive (remover of evil).Durga maa is strongly associated with martial power (Virat Shakti). She is jagat janani(universal mother) and mahishasur mardini (the goddess who killed the demon Mahishasur -remover of evil). She is celebrated differently in different regions of India - in Bengal she is celebrated as a daughter returning home, in other parts she is celebrated as jagat janani (universal mother).

Navratri starts from tomorrow. Happy Navratri to everyone. For many people nine days of fasting and prayers, starts from tomorrow worshipping Durga maa's nine forms (Navadurga) - Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri.

Stay hydrated and eat fruits timely.

Happy and healthy fasting to one's keeping the fast for maa.

Next chapter will be intense...afterall Mahishasur mardini (Durga maa) is returning home to kill the evil.

Durga Durga

Jai maa Durga ❤️

Hope you all are fit and fine.

Take care

Roses for you all my lovely readers:-
