CHAPTER-15.
"Ram!Calm
down!Please!"Exclaimed an
agitated Sudha,as Thakur Ramdhari Singh who was well known for his patience and
calm,threw down a glass of water,from his bedside table to the floor,in sheer
anger and frustration.Breathing heavily Ramdhari stared at the tiny shards of
glasses that were spread on the floor now'
"Why?!"He fumed out."Why did it have to be Rajeev's son,to be
the one to save me?!Why do I have to deal with a Khanna once again?!!"He
screamed out.
"It's not Prithvi's fault,Ram.."Sudha said,placing a reassuring hand on her husband's."Prithvi is completely innocent..Don't blame him for
what happened all those years ago'"She finished in a calm and soothing
voice.
"But he is a Khanna!He has the same blood running in his veins!"Seethed out Ramdhari with his teeth
clenched'
Meera was pacing in her room,thinking
about Prithvi'Two days had elapsed,since she last saw him,and still she did not
know anything about him other than his name,Prithvi-a beautiful name it was
though,she admitted grudgingly to herself'
How do I find out about him?How do I find out about him'?She thought to herself,chewing on her bottom
lip.
She had completed ten whole rounds of her
room,when she suddenly,leapt out with joy.
"Idea!"She exclaimed
out.And with a naughty smile,and her
eyes glazing with mischief she got ready to put her plan into action'
It was just 9pm at night,and the entire
village of Baragaon,seemed to be already asleep'Prithvi,who had been standing
at the window,walked back to work on his laptop,that was sitting open on the
reading table in the room.
"I've to finish looking over these mails."He scolded himself."A lot of
people is depending on me,and my running of the industry smoothly."He
thought feeling guilty,for his recent neglect of his work'
Ramu Kaka had sorted out things quite
well,within two days,and the Haweli looked far better than the forlorn state it
was in,a few days back,when he had walked in here.The electricity had been
reconnected,and the kitchen was functioning,with village women appointed,who
came to cook and clean the house regularly.A heater had also been fixed in the
kitchen,for Prithvi's comfort,as the village clay stoves were impossible for him
to handle.Prithvi had also ordered for an air conditioner,a refrigerator,a
television and a microwave to make his lifestyle in the village easier'
After finishing checking on and replying to
the mails,Prithvi decided to make himself a cup of coffee.On getting up from
his chair,he stretched himself to get rid of the cramps he had gotten,from
sitting on the chair for too long,turned off his laptop,which instantly covered
the room in darkness,as he had not turned any lights on.But Prithvi was not
bothered with the darkness.
The hall was lit with a small dim light at
the corner,and Prithvi easily moved through the semi darkness,as he knew his
way to the kitchen'
Meera entered the Khanna Haweli garbed in
her spy dress,tiptoeing and taking cover in shadows as she went in'
The spy dress,she had finally come up
with,after lots of thinking,was entirely in black'Just like in those thriller
spy movies she loved watching so much'
She was wearing a black jeans,and a black T-shirt
she had dug out from her drawer,which were never worn,and bought on a friend's
insistence,during her college life in Delhi.After wearing them tonight,she had
happily concluded,it was a good thing she had never worn them before and was
wearing it now,when no one would see her in them'
The black jeans was a snug fit,and the black
skin tight T-shirt was too revealing for her comfort.Not to add the wide round
neck of of the T-shirt,exposed too
much,and which she had tried to hide unsuccessfully..Later she had decided it
should not really bother her as she will stay in complete darkness,and will not
be meeting anyone.She had also stolen,her father's black monkey cap,to complete
her attire.She had somehow managed to tie her wild hair in a bun,and then
pulled on the cap,so that the only visible part of her eyes were her lips and
eyes'
Meera peeped in through Prithvi's
window,and on finding it empty,she quietly entered the Haweli through it.The
car she had heard of from Jeevan Lal,was also absent from the front porch,so
she happily concluded the haweli must be empty'
Still she tried to be careful and tiptoed
into the hallroom,to ensure the house was truly empty,before she searched
Prithvi's room.She could barely see in the dimly lit room,and suddenly bumped
into a table.Quickly she muffled her swear words and exclamation at hurting
herself,when she saw the tall figure coming out of the kitchen.Instantly she hid
herself in a dark corner behind a wall,near Prithvi's bedroom door.
"Is someone there?Ramu kaka?"Prithvi called out,and Meera watched quietly,afraid even to breathe
louder,as he checked all the doors and windows,and not finding anyone in the
hall, entered into his room.
Meera let out a sigh of relief,at not being
caught.
"Thank God!I was not caught!"She whispered to herself,and took the first careful step to get out of
the Haweli,through another window.That was when,she was whirled back and forced
against the wall,with her back to it,and Prithvi at the front.And her escape on
either side was also blocked by a pair
of strong arms,when a cold voice said,
"What were you saying,Thief?!"
