Debanya Diaries

Sudden Hint

"Do you like her?"

Karuna asked genuinely. Debu became stunned with sudden change in topic. He stiffened up and turned to Karuna with a hesitation in his voice.

"Who are you talking about Maa?" Debu stuttered.

Wahi jiske liye mera beta Mirza Ghalib bana shayari likh raha hai! 

Karuna said in a teasing voice. Debu became flustered. She was talking about Ananya.

"No Maa! There is nothing like that!" Debu announced with his face visibly red.

"Really?!"

Karuna teased him. Debu wanted the diary back but failed as Karuna kept it out of his reach. Just then Vivaan returned back. Debu found himself a chance to take the diary back. But Karuna managed to keep him away. It turned out that Vivaan missed his bus. But latter rejoiced as he decided to focus on the project from school. Karuna becomes visibly anxious on the mention of the doctor and leaves with the diary.

Vivaan gets shocked on seeing Karuna leaving in hurry while Debu is stuck with Karuna taking away diary. Timnasa plans to target Naqabposh while the bus gets hijacked. Debu attempts to take away the diary from Karuna and tries to soothe her with helping in Vivaan's project. Karuna high on anxiety lashes out at Debu leaving him suspicious. He decides to keep it for other time and manages to find the diary.

Debu tears off the page with riddle and destroys it promising to solve it. Debu continues to think about the riddle while time hits. He was supposed to meet Ananya at that time. Karuna is calmed when she spots Vivaan lying aimlessly on sofa.

"What happened Vivaan?" Karuna asked.

"Nothing mummy. Just bored. Didi is at uncle's house while my friends on hiking." Vivaan sighed getting up.

"Then watch TV or something!" Karuna suggested.

"Its boring Mummy!" Vivaan spoke visibly bored.

Debu who was rushing to meet Ananya passed through the hall. Karuna spotted him.

"Then play with Debu!"

She suggested. Debu stopped upon hearing his name while Vivaan spotted him. Debu hesitated.

"No Ma! I have to go! I have to check on Ananya!" Debu spoke up hurriedly.

Karuna upon hearing gave him a mischievous teasing smile. Vivaan unaware of incidents in house was confused.

"Oohh! To shayar sahab Ananya ko apni ghazal sunane jaa rahe hain! " Karuna teased.

It took a few moments for Debu and Vivaan to process.

"If you're going then bring you seating back soon!" Karuna said.

"Okay!" Debu smiled and replied.

Soon after his leave, Karuna's house was filled with chaotic arrival of Kamini, Padimini, Diwali and a few other women. They were crying and wailing. They were about to speak up when they saw Vivaan lying on the couch. They all asked about their kids returning with him but to their horror, Vivaan missed the bus. They reveal about the bus with their kids getting hijacked to Karuna and Vivaan. While Karuna consoles them, Vivaan informs the fairies and plans to bring them back. Otherhand Debu goes to meet Ananya as Naqabposh unaware of the hijack incident.

After reaching Ananya's house as Naqabposh, Debu inquired about her friends and family. Ananya to avoid his suspicion fake promised to give him contact. Ananya demanded him to take his mask off. But thanks to the worried people of Bharatnagar, he managed to escape Ananya's demand trap. Later Debu learnt of Vivaan's absence and hijack incident. He decided to help Vivaan by distracting Karuna and Dadaji. 

But then with Ananya's vist and praise, he found himself a hint towards the riddle that solved it. The answer was Dhruv Tara, the pole star in North. Debu taking blessings of his mother Karuna and wishing well being of Vivaan left for the pole star unaware Ananya who had been noticing him for a while following him. Though he managed to escape, but the some feelings never leave. Debu met the mysterious lady prisoner and received another riddle to earn the trust. He barely managed to escape as Timnasa arrived for a routine check. As Debu returned, Vivaan saved everyone from the hijack.   

Timnasa on the other hand have tricks up her sleeve. The bond of Vivaan and Naqabposh becomes even stronger when he saves Karuna from Jabdali's even plan. As Debu uses his bike to return, he meets Ananya now fully recovered with her dog, Deviprasad. Her eyes fell Naqabposh coming down speepding.

"Naqabposh!!"

She jumps on his way. Debu receiving a sudden heart attack on his way applies break instantly.

"Hii!" She squeals.

Debu stammers. His heart starts racing.

"Are you here to break your foot under my bike?" Debu asked worried under his tone.

"I am here not to break but to join!" Ananya spoke cheekily as if a teenager seeing her crush.

"What?" He was surprised by sudden cheekiness.

"Friendship connection!"

Ananya replied. An automatic smile formed on his face as she spoke. To him she was the most mysterious yet the sweetest girl he had met.

"Looks like your head have some loose screws! Otherwise no one comes in front of a speeding bike like that!"

"I came not be in front but to be behind your back! On thsi bike for a long drive!"

Ananya spoke. Debu intentionally raced a bit fowards as Ananya attempted to sit. She was taken aback while Debu looked at her resting his arms on the bike.

"How rude!" She snapped.

Mai to Bachpan se hi gentleman huin! Par aaj meri bike rude ho rahi hai!  

He smirked and bidding her quick farewell he sped off. She stood shouting furiously at him. Debu on other hand reached somewhere  desolated. He applied brakes and stopped. He panted hard with his face flushing.

"What the heck his wrong with me?!" He took his mask.

Debu who had previously met felt something snapping in him. A kind of emotional restriction that he had created within him. He didn't knew what, but something had broken. He had never been like this. Not even with his old friends. Keeping his awake and reclaiming his mission. He returned home.

Otherhand Ananya at home was staring at Naqabposh's picture discussing her future plans with him.

"Aagli miloge to aar ya par dungi!" Ananya said.

"Why next time?" Said a voice.

"What the-"

"Lets do everything today and right now!" The voice continued.

Ananya stunned and mouth opened mumbles in shock.

"The voice from painting?!" She mumbled and walked behind it to check who it was., "thats impossible!"

Unaware Debu standing behind her with a broomstick pranking her he continued to prank her.

"You're impossible!" He spoke in his made up voice.

Ananya turned behind and found the culprit of her prank.
