(SARGAM'S) INEXPLICABLEATTRACTION
33/2
The main lounge of Prasad's IMAX saw a rare scene! A sea of humanity dressed in black floated towards the centre out of so many dressed in various colours as if a wave of black came out of the ocean!... while two men collided with each other and a bunch of roses was thrown into the air!
Breaths were held while there were sighs in anticipation as to who would get to hold the bunch as if it was the bride's bouquet!
Both Mallesh Goud and the man fell on the ground with a thud! While a dozen men clad in black looked greedily at the bunch of roses and moved towards them,... when all of a sudden a lady in a black sari caught it before it hit the ground!
"Anjali bitiya ee kaa?"( what's this anjali?) Maami said and Anjali turned and looked at the chaos!
All the men in black who surfaced drew back and the wave of black ebbed as everyone mixed with the crowd eager not to blow off their cover!
Mallesh was still on the floor when Anjali went and caught his hand while the others gaped at him...
Mallesh looked up to see who it was and he heard a dozen Sitars and a flute as well as few violins( he could not count how many) playing a very splendid tune!
"Please Anjali said urging him holding his hand!"
Chinnu moved forward to help Mallesh but Narsing punched him on his rear saying,
"Hat! Nuvvenduku? Vadinamma undi gadaa!"
( Who wants you when Bhabi is there!)
Anjali bent and picked something! She then looked around to find the other man but he was no where in site! She then turned to Mallesh who was still staring sightlessly and said," Sorry! People are insensitive!" Then she put the glasses in his hand and said," Sambhalkey! Aapke sath koi hain?"
She looked around again!Then she asked," Aap key sath koi nahi hain?" ( Is there no one with you?)
Mallesh stared at her still in shock!
Narsing Chinnu and his half blind BIL came forward saying," Hum haina?"( We are there)
Anjali looked at them and said," You should have taken care of him no?" And said bye sweetly to Mallesh and turned to go an dthen suddenly remembered and turned back to him again and said,"Yeh aapka... she then caught his right hand and put the bunch of red roses in them and smiled and then was gone!
Mallesh was about to fall backwards out of Ecstasy when Koti and gang caught him hooting and cheering!
They all said YES!!! ...punching their fists in to the air!

The man walked with the bunch of red roses and turned the corner where the others joined him!"Boss Thank God the object is still with us! " One of them said!
Yeah! Remember I am your Boss the Boss said smugly and looked at the bunch and screamed!
"That Bunch! This Is different!"
What all men talked at once!
Idiots! They have the object! He shouted and turned back!

Arnav caught the chat take away with one hand and Khushi's hand with his other hand and said "lets go!"
He then saw she was looking odd!
"Is everything alright?" he asked!
"Haan Arnavji someone tried to take these roses"she said clutching them to her heart!
"So what Khushi? Its ok! I will buy you more!" He said laughing...he just wanted to ease her and did not want his date to be spoilt no matter what!
"Ohho! Aap samajhthey naheen! These... are given by... you!" ( Why don't you understand)
"So?" Arnav prompted although he knew what she meant!
"So... so... They are special!" Khushi said blushing.
Arnav tugged her close and ran his forefinger on her left cheek and said "But these roses are more precious... "indicating her blush and she blushed a crimson again!
"See? Why do we need roses while they bloom on your cheeks?" he said!
Khushi was lost in his gaze!

"Yep Till now!" Prateek said flaunting his bunch of red roses!
"But do you think, this time Arnav will finally propose?" DIWAA asked Prateek!
P:"Dunno buddy! But I just want Khushi to be calm! She has a habit of panicking when important matters are discussed!"
D:"Like?"
"Like Examination marks!" Prateek said raising an eye brow!
"Yeah but..." what ever DIWAA was saying was interuppted by two men in black who came and stood besides them!
DIWAA was repelled by their body language and stepped aside!
One of them said," Aasmaan Neela hotha hai!"
( The sky is blue)
Diwaa ignored but Prateek was Prateek he said," Aur kawwa kaala hotha hain!"( And a crow is black in colour)
One of them said still looking straight... "cheating"
Prateek got angry! "Why? When sky is blue? Crow is black!"

P:" Sure! Crow still will be black in colour!"
D:" Are you crazy? Do you know them!"

Chinnu: "Anna mandu party kaavaaley! Cool drinks taagudhendi?"
( We need booze to celebrate not these stupid cold drinks!)
Narsing:" Anna! Gulaab icchindey neeku vadinamma!"
( Bro Bhabi gave roses to you!)
Mallesh blushed and looked away!
Koti: I told you its because of the glasses!" looking crossly at the BIL of Chinnu!

Mami searched for the man in black who was stalking her! he was lost in the crowd!
Disappointed. she turned to Anjali and said "Lets go!"
They both were walking with the bunch when they spotted Khushi and Arnav on the other side walking towards the entrance! Anjali immediately turned and said "Mami lets hide somewhere and go in after they go!"
Mami immediately pulled her into the other section and they stood there although it sported the banner of teh movie "SHIRDI SAI BABA"

They both went to the food court!
One Onnova and four Toofan and a single auto stopped before IMAX! Mallesh Goud got down with Chinnu and his half blind BIL dressed in black jeans black tee shirt and black sports shoe and with dark glasses!
He tripped and fell on Chinnu who fell on a lady who was entering the complex!
"Idiot!"She glared and Chinnu showed his teeth saying "heee Thank you!"
Then she saw Mallesh and said," Ayyo I am Sorry!" and went!
"Anna ki sorry cheppi nannu enduku tittindiraa?" Chinnu asked Narsing!
( Why did she scold me but then apologised to Anna?)
"Annantey andariki abhimaanam! Anduke!" Narsing said with an expanded chest!
( People admire Anna)
"Au!" ( YO) everyone said!
"Chal late avuthey kastam!" ( Lets go before we're late) They entered The IMAX.

The world was at his beck and call not to mention women! But he always wanted to lead a simple life! And here he got a golden opportunity to propose to a lady like an ordinary man! She did not know him for his wealth fame or name! She knew him as him! His individual person! Hell!!! he did not even tell her his surname! Can this be true!

"Hi Arnavji kaisi lag rahee hun main?" ( How do I look?)
"Great" he said smiling.
K:"Thank you! Aap bhi" ( you too)
A:"What?"
K:'Aap bhi acchey lag rahe hain" ( You look good too) she paid back his compliment!
Arnav felt good for the first time in days!
He caught Khushi's hand and said softly! "Khushi Lets enjoy this evening! I promise you I will make it memorable for you!"
He bent and opened the door!
Then he went back to his seat then after helping her fasten her seat belt gave her a bouquet of red rozes! And said... "Ummm... eh..."
K:'Aapko kuch kehna hain" ( do you want to say aomething?) Khushi asked expectantly!
"Damnit! Kaisey Kehthey hain" he thought!

"ANNOW!!! Same to same!"( She is in black you are in black) Vadinamma black nuvvu black! Chinnu rejoiced.
"Manamantha Black!"( We all are in black) Chinnu's half blind BIL said and got a slap from Koti! "Manaki matchinga bey? Em maatlaaduthunnadanna?"
( What! How dare you say we all match with her! What nonsense are you talking!)
They followed Anjali and Maami, who stopped by a florist. Maami said,"Anjali bitiya bootiful rojes Red Red Rojes!"
"Haan Maami bahut sundar hain!" ( very beautiful aunty) Anjali said.
"Tho lo na?" ( why don't you buy some?) Maami insisted! Anjali did not know what to say but thought better of it as Maami liked them! She bought a bunch!
"Anna Vadinamma ki gulab istamey!" ( Seems like SIL likes roses) Chinnu said!
"Manam bi kondaamannattu!" ( Lets buy then) Narsing said.
Mallesh went and stood before the florists just as Anjali and Maami left and he said "gaa maidam theesukunnayi naakkuda gaavaali!"
( Whatever that lady took! I need them!)
The florists was too happy to oblige! His day was turning out to be perfect!So many buyers!
Just before the two ladies and these men, two men in black bought a bunch of red roses! Was it a rose day or something he mused!
(SARGAM'S) INEXPLICABLEATTRACTION-33
Five men walked into the compound all dressed in black and the man who was the shortest and most pudgy of all had a bunch of red roses in his hand! They all looked at each other in understanding and dispersed!
As they dispersed RJ DIWAA and Prateek Murthy walked in! They were in black! As they walked by the florists...
Diwaa stopped and asked,"what if Khushi sees us dude?"
P:"No! She won't"
D:"How can you say that!"
P:"I can!!! coz I know her!"
D:"Whats infront of her eyes she doesnt!... so how will she? Especially when we are sitting behind her?"
"But what if...?" Diwaa insisted!
"Ok! Oh yeah!" Prateek saw the roses and said,"if she sees us we will say we have come to meet your girl friend!"
D:"I have many!"
P:"One of them!You are going to propose!!"
D:"When?"
P:'Today"
D:"And who is the lucky girl?"
P:'How do I know you should tell me!"
D:"But why should I propose?"
P:"Yaar but thats why we are here!"
D:"We are here for Khushi!"
P:"Exactly!
D:"Then why... Oh ok!"
P:' Thats what we are going to tell her!We ... er got carried away and then He said Hey! See its so convincing our reason to be here and he looked around and said," to make it more convincing... here lets buy a bunch of red roses for our sweet heart!"
D:"EHEM! MY sweet heart!" Diwaa corrected him
P:"Ok!"
They went and stood before the florists!
The florist gave them a bunch of red roses?
P:"How do you know what we wanted...?"
He stared at them... and said,"I Know!"
D:"How?"
"Patha chal jaatha hai sir aaj ka din hi aisa per aap donon?" ( One gets to know! Today te day as such is so! But you two?) He asked...suspiciously staring at them.
"Haan hum donon! None can now find fault with us!" Prateek said smiling smugly at Diwaa!
The florist gave them a dirty look but masked it again saying "All the best for your future together... Happy...er...ummm...Life!" He corrected himself on time!

Arnav got down opened the door for Khushi and Khushi insisted she carried the bunch of red roses with her! She could not part with them and Arnav was only too happy to oblige!
As they entered the complex... Arnav checked the venue... "screen no 6 Khushi! Chalo Khushi !" he took her in... Then he halted and said "do you want something o drink? Eat?"
Khushi was just waiting for that!
"Haan Arnav ji humey chana chahiye per woh baad ke liye per abhi Jalebi chalegi!"
( I need chana but for alter but for no, I need Jalebi!)
"What? where will you get ... ?"Arnav saw a sweet shop and went there to enquire!
Khushi held the bouquet and strolled around smiling at them!
"Aasmaan neela hotha hain!", a man in black said just for her to hear!
"Aasmaan neela hi hotha haina bhaisaab! Ismey bolney waali kya bath hai! Aapko kya chahiye!" She asked him frowning!
( The sky is always blue! Whats there to gloat about it! What do you want?)
In reply...He looked at the bunch of red roses greedily.
Khushi immediately kept them behind her and said "nai nai yeh humaarey hain!"( No these are mine!)
Arnav came back and said" Sorry Khushi! They don't have but my tunmhey Chat khilaa sakthaa hun" ( I can offer you chat instead! and he took her to the Ohri's counter!

Anjali let Maami admire the roses and she saw Arnav entering the lobby! With Khushi! SHE WAS IN BLACK!
"Maami she is wearing black!" Anjali said.
"Dekha Vamprail kaheen ki! Humaarey Arnav bitua ka..." Maami exclaimed loud and
"Shhh Maami! Sunlengey kaheen! My dekhthi hun kya horaha hain! Ek minute aap idhar book store ke paas khadey rahiye!" AAnjali tiptoed to Arnmav and Khushi!
( Please don't talk so loudly! They might hear us!Let me check what they are up to!)
A man in black came and he saw Maami and then the bunch of red roses... he said," Aasmaan neela hotha hain!"( The sky is blue)
Maami looked at him from head to toe! She thought he was making a pass at her and was thrilled! Wait till Anjali sees this! Even at this age she had admirers! She thought smugly!
She turned to him and said... "Aur boliye naa...?" ( Say some more...)
He looked at her and said..." aur... Koyal ka rang kaala hotha hain finishing the code from his side! Wait till the boss knows he found the object he rejoiced mentally!
"Ab aapki baari! " ( Now your turn)He said
"Hain? humey bolna hain kaa? Kaa humaari bootiful face aur ee ankhien jo bolthey hain woh kaafi nahi?( Don't you think what my beautiful eyes and face say are good enough?) She asked !
the man gulped and did not know what to do! The object was coming on to him! This was an occupatuonal hazaard!
"Nahi! aapko bhi tho kuch bolna chaahiye" ( No! You must also say something!) he said, encouraging the object! Rules were rules! She had to complete the code for him to act further!
"Accha Tho kya bolun?" ( Ok! What should I?)
"Clue chahiye!"( Do you need a clue?) This is the real problem with middle aged recruits! they forgot easily!
"Dei do!" ( Ok) Maami was too happy!
"Accha Gussey ka rang?" ( The colour of anger?) He asked standing on one foot hopefully!
"Gussa? Gussey ka rang nahi hotha hain! Dhang hotha hain jaisey humrey Arnav Bitua jo cheezein uthaa uthaakey patak key phenkthey hain aur Anjali bitiya Khaana nahi khaathee hain!!" Maami explained( Anger never has a colour! it has a way! Like Arnav throws things when angry an Anjali refuses to eat!)
"OHHO!" The man was really getting impatient now!
