(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"

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!

Chinnu's BIL:" Au! She thought..." Chinnu closed his mouth with his palm saying "Baava! Em maatladaku!"
( Don't say a word Jiju)

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"
