TAMED AND TAINTED

BLOOMING AMOUR

Meera entered inside her room. Sitting on the table kept near the window, she delicately opened the letter which reads

'Rani sa,
Apke zindagi mein jo nayi pyaar ki gulaab kheel rahi hai, usse dekh hume bohot zyada khusi hui. Parantu mere khusi se zyada dard apko milega, jab Abhimaan namak kanta apko chubhega.

He has a dark past. He has deep rooted insecurities. Trust issues and hatred for love is not new to him. Aap inn sab ke sath zindagi guzar nhi payengi. Shuruat sab ko pasand hota hai, mann mein sahas hota hai kathinayi-yon se ladh ne ki, lekin agge chal ke wo himat tut jata hai aur insaan bikhar jata hai.

Abhimaan apko pyaar karne ke qabil nhi aur nahi apke pyaar ke layak hai. Woh apne dolat se apke liye ek Taj Mahal toh banna sakta hai par uska rang kala hoga Abhimaan ke dil ki tarah. Woh Taj Mahal pyaar ki nishani nhi hogi par nafrat ki nishani se jani jayegi.

Umeed hai aap inn sari baton par gor karengi aur apne ujjwal bhabisya ka marg chunegi.

Apka subh chintak. Jald hi milenge.'

Meera read the letter which has no sender's address. Neatly folding the letter she looked outside the window when her eyes fell on Abhimaan, who was swimming in the backyard pool.

('Dear queen,
I am very happy after being enlightened about the rose of love blooming in your life. But let me aware you that your share of gloominess will be more than my happiness, when the throne named Abhimaan will scar you for life.

He has a dark past. He has deep rooted insecurities. Trust issues and hatred for love is not new to him. You won't be able to live your entire life with these. In the very beginning it might seem like a flowery dream, when you are courageous to fight every odd but eventually the dream bubble bursts breaking the courage and shattering the soul.

Abhimaan can never love you and he too is ineligible to receive love from you. He is wealthy enough to construct the symbol of love 'Taj Mahal' for you but mind you the colour of the architecture will be black just like his heart, which will not be recognised as the symbol of love rather as the symbol of hate.

I hope you will consider these things and would wisely choose the way for your bright future.

Yours well wisher. Will meet soon.')

AFTER FEW HOURS
AT ABHIMAAN'S STUDY

"Bhai as you said I warned Bijal. Par bhai woh seedhe se maan ne wala insaan hai nhi. Moreover MLA bhi uss mein samil hai. Election ke time pe mar-pit kar ke , dara-dhamka ke votes hasil karte hai yeh baap bete" Aviraj informed
(Bhai as you said I warned Bijal. But he is not going to surrender that easily. Moreover MLA is also involved with his son's illegal activities. During the time of election both father-son duo will threaten the people inorder to get votes)

"Aur koi information?" Abhimaan asked
(Any other information?)

"Nhi bhai philhal toh yehi information hai baki ke details mein Uday ke sath mil ke nikal raha hu" Aviraj replied
(For the time being i have this much information, but am working with Uday in digging out more stuffs about them)

"Third person ki involvement hai iss mein, forsure. Par kon hai yeh pata laga" Abhimaan ordered
(I am sure that there a third person involved who is backing them up. Find out who the person is)

"Ji bhai" Aviraj said but from his facial expression, it appeared as if he wanted to ask something else as well
(Okay bhai)

"Kya puchna chahta hai puch" Abhimaan said while searching a good book to read
(Whatever you want to ask, you can ask without any hesitation)

"Bhai how can you be so sure about the involvement of a third person? I mean you didn't overhaul yet" Aviraj said

Abhimaan with a sly smirk said "tune Bijal ko dekha hai, itni uski aukat nhi ki woh mere samne tik sake. Par agar ussne ek warning ke baad bhi surrender nhi kiya iska matlab uske paas kisi ka support hai jo definitely uska baap toh nhi"
(Have you analysed Bijal closely, he isn't that capable to brush aside my orders. But even after warning if he didn't surrender then surely there is someone powerful supporting him which is definitely not his father)
