It was morning. Purvi got up with the sunshine falling on her face. She got up & saw Virendra was missing from the terrace. She saw Juhi & Manas still sleeping.
" Ye Mukhiji kaha gaye, kahin ser par to nahi chale gaye. Juhi Manas abhi so rahe hain, ek kaam karte hai inke liye dhoodh garam kar dete hai aur naashte ke liye kuch le aate hain.."
Purvi comes down & sees Priyu. She asks about Virendra from Priyu. Priyu tells her that she saw Virendra going towards the lake side. Purvi tells Priyu that she's going to the hawai kaka to get something good to eat for Virendra & Kids. She goes to the shop & gets some jalebis, kachoris & samosa. While she was doing the payment, she overheard two girls talking.
" Haan dekha naa Mukhiji ko, kya lag rahe the pehalwani karte hue. Dole shole dekhe. Ek ek pehalwaan ko dhool chata di...Kitni aachi kismat hai purvi ki...ki use Mukhiji jaise robile aur rajkumar jaise sundar pati mile hai..haaayeee"
" Pehalwaani....Duddu...ye lekar seedhe ghar jaa aur Priyu ko dena. Hum abhi aate hai.."
Purvi reaches the akhada near the lake & just then Virendra throws one pehalwaan on the ground.Purvi looks at Virendra who's just wearing his dhoti with bare body up. She literally gets awestruck. In front of her was a man who was the Mukhiya of this village; the owner of the Rewari grand haveli & her own husband; who was right now fighting with the strongest pehalwaan of akhade and giving them the taste of loss.
Purvi didn't move. She was just stuck on Virendra. The 6ft long handsome man, with shining body, full of sweat & the small dust particles. The hairs all carelessly combed; the eyes full of victory, the strong hands clinging every person's neck whosever was coming in front of him. The smile, the sound that he was making; Purvi was all mesmerized by the beauty of her own husband. For the first time she had seen Virendra like this & now that particular image was stuck onto her head forever.
Suddenly someone from the crowd said...Arre Mukhiyani ji aa gayi........She became aware of the situation. Virendra looked at Purvi & looked away. He folded his hands in front of the villagers & walked to Purvi & stood in front of him.
" Ke ghoore hai manne...!!??"" Aap yaha pehalwaani karne aaye the kya...??"
" Ibb naa, main toh yo talab mein nahane aaya tha, manne dekha ki yaha yo akhada hai toh socha thodi kasrat hi kar lun, kaam aavegi jaldi hi (& he thought for a second)"
" Kaam aayegi jaldi matlab...?"
" kuch naa, main yo zara khud ko dhokar aaya..."
Virendra descended down the stairs that lead to the lake. He went there & turned towards Purvi. He splashed some water on his bare body & then took a deep swim while standing & came above. Released the extra water from his hair by his hands; he looked more handsome & something that no-one could themselves from looking at him. She turned away from Purvi with his back facing now; he again swimmed back with a cunning smile on his lips.
Purvi was standing on the stairs. She heards some murmurs & turned when she saw few girls & even women looking at Virendra with such wanting eyes. She folded her hands near her waist & looked straight at them. They all dispersed after seeing Purvi's angry look. She turned & saw Virendra coming out of the lake.
Water was flowing from Virendra's body. That wheatish skin was shining with the water. His hairs were more messy & wet. His dhoti was blotted up with water. The white cystal mala was too shining with water droplets. The layers of water flowing from his head, touching his forehead, coming towards the cheeks, then his lips, making way to his neck, his chest, then to the waist & finally to his feet through his legs.
He reached where Purvi was standing & took the kurta from her. Purvi was looking here & there.
" Idhar udhar ke dekh rahi hai...ke hua..."
" ye aapko talab mein kyun nahana tha...aur wo bhi aise..."
" toh talab mein kaise nahate hai agar aise nahi nahate toh..."
" Zyada bhole mat baniye aap, aapne bi dekha tha ki kaise goan ki ladkiyaan aur yaha tak ki aauratein bhi aapko tedhi nazaron se dekh rahi thi. Jaise ki kha hi jayengi...aur aapko toh maza hi aa raha hoga naa...bhav jo mil rahe the..."
" Ke bole jaa rahi hai tu...manne ke pata ki kis nazar se kon manne dekh raha tha...Aur waise bhi teri nazar bhi toh mere te hatt naa rahi thi...kyunnnn...(he said while looking into her eyes)"
" Hum...hamari...hum kyun dekhenge aapko...aur waise bhi hum aapko nahi dekh rahe the..."
" accha toh aur kon hai yaha yo talab mein nahane wala...?? Tanne jalan ho rahi thi naa, ki ya choriyaan aur auratein manne dekh rahi thi...kyun...(he asked while raising his eyebrow)
" Hamein koi jalan nahi ho rahi thi...abb chalen ya yahi saari baatein karni hai aur sabko aur dikhana hai khud ko..."
She turns & water underneath, she slips on Virendra. Virendra catches her in his arms while looking at her smiling. Purvi felt that she was too little wet now. Her hands were crossing Virendra's shoulders. Because they were in the mid of the village; this eyelock was broken very easliy. She stables herself. She feels some water droplets sprinkling on herself when Virendra nodded his head & blows his hairs.
They both reach house again. After having breakfast it was time for Virendra & kids to leave as Purvi was staying there for some more days too. As Virendra gets up to go,he sees Purvi a little sad. She hugs the kids & looks at Virendra.
Virendra & Kids reaches the car & the driver who has come goes with them. Purvi was going inside the home when she saw Virendra's two guards standing at a distance.
" Ye Raghav aur Suresh yaha kya kar rahe hai?? Raghav...Suresh..Idhar aao...!"
They both come up to her. On asking about them being here, they told that till when Purvi is here, they will also be there for her safety. On asking about the reason, they tell that Virendra has told not to tell beyond this. She becomes confused.
On the other hand, Virendra while driving back to Haveli thinks about the scene he saw yesterday.
Yesterday, when they were haulted in the dhaba for rest; Virendra saw Dashgreev's guards jeeb crossing that Dhaba. He became a little skeptical. The doubt of Dahdgreev guards following him crossed his mind. Later while going to the work, he too saw the same jeep at some distance. Virendra was in a doubt that may be Dashgreev had an eye on him, eye on his bawri.
" Manne Bawri ko yun chodkar theek toh kiya hai naa, wo apne ghar mein hai aur mere dono guard bhi hai, par ibb pata naa ki kyun manne darr sa lag raha, kyun halki ghabrahat ho rahi se...Raamji raksha karna...Bawri ki...uss Raavan se....!!"As soon as Virendra car crosses the border of Purvi's Village; Dashgreev's car is seen taking a turn & entering into the village.
Khayal...tumse zyada hai tumhara...wo baat alag hai ki jajate nahi hai....
Pata nahi kyun aaj dil pehli baar dara hai...wo alag baat hai tumhe ye sab hum batate nahi hai....Kisi aur ki nazar padi kaise tumpar....ye haq kaise jataun main....
Tumhe dekh rahi thi jo nazarein yun shaitaaniyon se....unse kaise tumhe bachaun main....
Dono hi bachana chahte hai ek doosre ko buri nazaron se....kya lagta hai bacha paayenge...??
TO BE CONTI....
