Sargam's
InexplicableAttraction-25
David was sure to mark that day to be the worst in his life! Coz no other day could be like that ever when his girl friend of nine years... was being counselled by her college buddy not to leave him!@#$%!
When Khushi ran out, Arnav went after her and Sarlaa followed him and he got enraged and followed them to punch Arnav's nose off but... the lady fled with her friend... and Arnav tried to restore sanity to Sarlaa and he requested David to hold on...
David did not know what to do! All three of them were in a coffee shop adjacent to the pub drinking TEA!
How more confusing can it get! He winced!!!
"Nai Arnav woh song...!!!" ( No Arnav That song!!!)... Sarlaa was sobbing!
"Sarlaa that was a prank by my friend! Please control yourself! I have my own girl friend" Arnav cajoled her... and he winced thinking about Khushi! After this 20 over match he had to play a testmatch with Khushi! And she went with that Mad cap... what was his name Meethu or something!!!!
Oh God What is this !!!He winced again and said,"David loves you Sarlaa and you were with him since high school!!"
David gave them a glare! He felt like a special appearance in a c-grade movie!
"Arnav you did not mean a thing that was said in that song?" sarlaa asked for the umpteenth time!
"No dear!!!" Arnav said and she made to catch her neck with her hand saying "oh my god! How Embarassing!!" and the cross on her neck got stuck to the lace flower which was pinned on to her neck line and cut into her throat and got stuck making blood to gush out! Sarlaa wailed and David turned the other side disgusted thinking she was throwing tantrum!
Arnav bent forward saying," nope don't move if you value your life!!!" And bent forward to remove the cross from the tangle and give her relief as Two people who just reached the coffee shop watched quietly from the shadows of the night!!!
"See You moron! Look at him! Look at the scene for yourselves!" Prateek hissed dramatically!!!
"Look at your Arnavji sucking an innocent woman's blood!" He said.
Khushi just stared as Arnav bent further down to relieve Sarla off her chain!!
"TTT...TTTEEE...KKK...uuu!!!" She called him shaking!
"Kya hain?" ( What?) he asked angrily!
K:"Woh marjaayegi yaar!" ( she will die my friend)
P:"Nahin!! Usey zinda rakhega!" ( no! he will keep her alive!) Teeku suddenly was the expert!
K:"KKK...yyy...uuunnn?" ( WHY?) Khushi asked.
P:"Kal key liye!"( For tomorrow) He supplied!
K:"Per David kyun baitha hain jab...jab... he is..." ( then why is David sitting quiet!!! when Arnav is...) Khushi couldn't bring herself round to ask the obvious!
P:"Usey hypnotise kiya gaya hain bus ! Itnaa bhi nahi maalum? ... wait a min..." ( He had been hypnotised! You don't know even this much!)
Arnav called David and suddenly David too went very near her bending towards her throat!
From where they were watching, it appeared as if they were feasting on her blood!
K:"Devi Mayya!!!"
P:"Congratulations Khushi! You have successfully unearthed the Vampire pack in Hyderabad!" Prateek clapped sarcastically!!
Khushi asked with wide eyes! "You mean... " David also...?"
"Yeah!" Prateek said grimly!
K:"HEY DEVI MAYYA!!!"
K:"Chalo apna karthavya nibhaatein hai jeevan aur jeeviyon ke prathi!" ( let's fulfill our duty towards life and living beings!!!) Khushi said and Prateek looked at her and said "Hindi mein bol!!!" ( Please talk in Hindi).
K:"Lets help her yaar!"
P:"No way!"
K:"Please she will die!"
P:"Let her!!!"
P:"They kill every alternate day so do you want me to help everytime?"
K:"Teeku please!"
K:"If I were in that condition!!!"
P:"Then I would have applied leave!"
K:"What?"
P:" Haan? therahvi key liye!"( for yur thirteenth day!!![after death]) He clarified!
K:"Please ra"
P:"OK... chal!"( Lets go)
They both walked into the dimly lit cafe!
Arnav tried to pull the dainty hook off the ring so that the chain comes loose as her top tightened around her neck!
"Couldn't you wear a wider neck?" He said and wiped his forehead with his palm and since his fingers were bloody, his chin had some blood sticking on it when he swiped his hand over his face!!!
Khushi saw it first and widened her eyes and caught Prateek's hand tightly!!!
"Khushi? Thum theek ho! Thank god! " Arnav said! He was relieved that although mad she came back!!!
Atleast she is back! he thought! will think of her later, after getting rid off this couple! he thought
"CCchhhoood deeejiyeee naa Arnav ji!" ( leave her) She said weakly!
A:"How? I can't! It needs to be done!"
K:"Is there a rule?"
A:"I play by my rule!"
A:"Help me David." he told David!
K:"David you are a true Christian please!!!"Khushi said!
D:"I need to Khushi! I am compelled!!!" David thought he was responsible for Sarlaa!
"She is your girl friend!" Prateek said!!!
D:"All the more reason!"
Both Khushi and Prateek looked at each other!!!" "They are converting!!!" Both said together!!!
Arnav could finally relieve the latch and said," from here, she is all yours!" As finally Sarlaa seemed to be calm!
"How are you sarlaa ji?" Khushi asked compassionately!
"What happened to me? I am alright !"sarlaa said trying to cover up!
"COMPELLED!!!!!!" Prateek hissed in Khushi's ears!
K:"Weak?"
S:"Very! Arnav has that effect on you you know!" She wanted to make the moment easy for Khushi!
"Oh!"Khushi understood it differently!
Arnav was watching Khushi and he sensed something amiss! She was not normal! Either this is for revenge or well since its Khushi you don't know ... it could be anything! He sighed!
"Aap ka... er hogaya?" khushi asked!
Arnav looked at her and aske," what?"
"Kaam er... hogaya?" Khushi asked again.
"Abhi nahi David ko bhi thoda..." Arnav tried to tell her that David needs to pitch in!!!
"Aap donon sath mein...er...?" Khushi asked!
"Haan koshish kar rahe hain!" Arnav said.
"Disgusting!" Prateek said for which Khushi said," Its ok! I will change him!!!"
"What?"Arnav could not hear half and the rest he could not understand!
"You need something to drink?" Khushi asked Sarlaa!
"Nope dear its ok! So sweet of you!" she said!
"David lets go!" she got up!
"Never be on your own!!" Prateek said!
Sarlaa looked at him oddly not understanding!
"Its ok! She will come round." Arnav said!
"Yeah three months for new blood to form" Prateek muttered!
"Nope! Let her take her time!" Arnav said.
"How do you manage daily?"Khushi asked compssionately ordering tea for her and Prateek!
"Well at office Girls do trouble me!" Arnav thought it was better if he tells her his problems as anyway he was in the situation and better to reveal it now when she is in a listening mode!
"Yeah that charm you have is irrestible!" Prateek said in a stage whisper!
"Bheeku thanks!!!I hav ebegun to like you man" Arnav said! Teeku both khushi and Prateek corrected him simultaneously!
"Whats your age?" Khushi asked Arnav
"What?" Arnav was taken aback by the query!
Something was odd? "why ask me!" he said...
"Give your tooth ! I have a friend who knows someone who can get a carbon dating done! "Prateek said making Arnav laugh and say! Good sense of humour buddy!
"But I am ancient in my spirit..." Arnav mused...
Khushi and Prateek looked at each other meaningfully!
"How many times have you relocated?" Prateek now was interested!!!
Arnav was getting irriitated but he was bearing Cheeku or whatever his name was... coz as such he was confused looking at Khushi and her strange behaviour! May be shock did that to her! And he knew Phenku or what ever his name was...was her favourite so he didn't want to ruffle more feathers than he had done already!
He simply said"... aahhh may be three times! Based in Delhi only but lived at different places!"
"OOOHHH!!!" Both Khushi and Prateek behaved like twins at times he thought and smiled amusedly! Who knows they are neighbours and then thought 'god! He had started to think like Khushi!'
A:" Khushi! Thanks for understanding!!!"
K:" What can you do about this! This is a curse!!!"
A:" Yeah! Women had always been after me but believe me I never went after anyone only you!!!" He confessed!!
K:" I know!!!"
P:" Silver thread theory or blood transfusion or karmic or plain soulmate/ twin flame concept?
A:" He is very funny!!!But thanks brother!! Its more powerful than any called...
Sargam's Inexplicable Attraction!!!"
P:" New Theory"
K:"Are you comfortable with sun?"
A:" Not much but I manage!! Work mostly indoors and work out during nights so got out of habit!!!
K:" Oh! You wear dark colours thats why!"
A:" I like black"
P:"Patha hain!!!" (We know.)
K:" Haan! Pathaa hain!"(Yes we do)
A : "Khushi is there something you want to tell me?"
K:" Ab kehney sunney ka kya hain Arnavji!! Bus!!! Jab taq rahungi sath mein raheingey!Uske baad sab aapke haath mein hain!!( whats there to say or to listen! Till I am there We shall be together! after that Its in your hands...)
P:" Nai!! You can't be converted! Let him outlive you!!!
A:" What?"
K:" Nai Teeku! That's his decision! We don't know what their elders would plan!!!
P:" No! You can't! "
K:" jaane do na!"( Just leave it ok?)
A:" Whats happening! Am I missing out something?"
K:" Nothing! We are discussing our future!"
A:" What the @#$%! You both are discussing? Then where Am I? I need to be a party to it! Isn't it?"
P:" Yaar anyway you will be there always! Let us atleast do something in this short period... hardly 50-60 yrs is a time for you!!!"
A:" What?"
K:" And his family has a history of short life span! Tera DilsukhNagar Mama 35 years ko ludka na reh?"( Your Dilsukhnagar Mama died when 35 isn't it?)
P:" Is it required now! Waisey... Dad took three policies and also put postal deposits on our name! Mom had also planned for some chit fund! she says I will also go... soon!!!"
K:" No!!! Don't say that!!! Please! what will I do!!!!"
P:" Khushi!"... philosophically!!! "You know something? Its for our best!!! I used to be worried who will take care of you if I kick the bucket!!! Here!!! God has answered my prayers!!! HE sent Arnav!!! He will be there to take care of even our grand Children!!! REALLY GOD IS GREAT!!!!" Prateek cried on her shoulder.
Both of them hugged each other and Arnav just stood there open mouthed and finally asked... 'how can you guys be so silly... I mean emotional!!!"
Prateek included him in his embrace... (now they were awsome threesome} and said... "Hotha hai Bro!!! You vampires wouldn't know of emotions that we humans have!!!"
Arnav froze in his spot Saying... WHAT THE @$%!!!
