Misha and Jay go together seeking the thrill of their lives
while Pia couldn't look. Her sister was going to get Jay in trouble and someone
killed. Why did nobody ever listen to her? She had a huge voice. Nobody ever
took notice of her. Pia decided the best thing to do was go after them and try
to reason with them but she was running late.. Jay found the door was locked so
he used Misha's clip to unlock it and then got inside hotwiring the car. Good
Job Jay had gloves on no finger prints. He told Misha to stay outside on the
lookout and went for a quick spin. Misha was impressed and then the car
spluttered.
Jay got out and took the girls away from the area-No gas.
What cop drives without gas?
Misha laughed-One that never works. Get it.
Jay glared not funny Misha. I was sweating like crazy. If i
got arrested my Mom would kill me.
Pia assured Jay-Don't worry i'd make sure U had company. I'd
place Misha there for collaborating this whole thing with U.
Misha laughed-Oh please little sister. U were part of this
whole operation. I'm already for a little excitement. Shall we go go carting? I
already booked ourselves in.
Jay insisted Pia tag along. Pia went just for a while to
supervise Misha's playful antics. Misha often got out of hand-Pia there's
something i wanted to ask U?
Pia in the back with Jeh while Misha drove them to their
destination-Jay U cane say anything to me i won't mind.
Jay cleared his throat-Don't go to see Abhay. I want to
spend a little time with U.
Pia was now paying attention to Jay-What? Jay we are
spending time together.
Jay pondered further-Pia going out as a gang is not spending
time together. I wanted to spend time with just U Pia.
Pia shook her head-Jay U are cute sometimes but spending
time with an absent minded friend is not spending time. I haven't been myself
lately.
Misha slammed the braeks-Voila we are here.
Jay muttered-Just great.
Pia laughed at Jay moaning-You'll like this Jay. I'll race U
for the best cars.
Jay ran beating Pia while Misha to went passed Pia-Now i
know why U always came last in our track races Pia U are so unfit.
Pia grinned-I don't want to break a sweat guys. I have plans
ahead.
Jeh felt a pang of jealousy at Pia's statement. He knew
where she was headed-I don't think U should go.
Pia smiles-Awe Jay. Come on lets start beating the hell out
of each other.
Misha got in her car while Jay and Pia went into their own
vehicles racing around the track. Pia wasn't in the mood to speed about. Her
mind wasn't in it she onlt did this to humour Misha and Jay. Pia wanted Misha
and Jay to spend more time together. Misha was too used to making mischief and
needed a sane guy like Jay to keep her grounded.
Pia could hear Misha squal in sheer joy at whooping Jay-Beat
U!
Jay stuck his tongue out-Whatever Misha. U took an early
lead. Not fair. U cheated.
Misha giggled with glee-Wanna go for another round to see me
crush U again. Do U think your ego can take a girl beating U up again?
Jeh rolled his eyes-Bring it on Misha. Pia come one lets
show your sister what we're made of.
Pia shook her head-No Jay. I'm spent i'll leave U kids to
it. Ok bye. Let me know who wins.
Pia got out of her car giving the attendant the keys and her
helmet back-Thank U. I enjoyed myself. Can U please the others know i've taken
off. (Dude nods)Thanks.
Pia checks her watch-I got enough time to make it. She grabs
a bite to eat from the corner shop buying a cheese and onion pasty walking
through the short vut through the long winding Jungle. It always felt like home
being in the wilderness. Pia heard the breaking of twigs coming from behind
her. She turned herself around to see what it could be. Pia ventured off course
peering her head out shoting out for an answer.
Pia raises her voice-Hello!!!!! Who's there?
Pia heard no answer and continued to walk into the direction
of the noise. She brushed past some bushes moving it with her hand. Pia broke a
twig with her own weight of her foot then let out a laugh at scaring herself
talking to herself-I am such a scary cat.
Pia headed back towards her path feeling a little eerie. She
kept on hearing the sound of leaves crushing feeling a little paranoid. Pia
moved forwards marching faster and started running to get to a safe point. Pia turned her head
around again and saw a dark figure emerging out of the shadows. Pia continued
to up her pace scraping against the sharp edges of the branches of the tree she
had just gone past getting stuck and then a hand on her shoulder making Pia
turn around again in fear.
Pia recognised the touch so familiar to her embracing him
tightly-Abhay! (Tilts her head to see him clearly) Thank goodness its U. I saw
someone. He...
Abhay took Pia's hand and briskly took her away from danger
feeling she'd needed him chiding her-Why do U do this Pia?
Pia began cautiously fluttering her eyelashes at him
sounding flustered-Do what Abhay?
Abhay rolled his eyes sounding hoarse-Travel alone in these
woods its not safe. I don't want U to come through here again do U hear me?
Pia getting defensive-I don't take orders from anyone.
(Pauses for a while) How did U know i was here?
Abhay dragged Pia over the log on the ground-I was passing
through and heard U running. I thought U might be in trouble.
Pia smiled in gratitude-Well i guess U scared whoever it was
Abhay. Aren't U supposed to be in the auditorium?
Abhay helped Pia moving the braches from Pia with his arm-I
thought i'd take a detour.
Pia wasn't buying Abhay's excuse-Abhay who do U think it was
back there?
Abhay tightened his grip on Pia afraid to say what he
thought it was-Pia U shouldn't have come here. U weren't invited...
Pia felt her heart sink feeling teary-I was invited by your
friends Abhay. Isha and Venti both gave me personal invites. Why are U doing
this to me? I thought after last night...
Abhay shakes Pia-I don't want to even discuss about what
happened last night (Watching Pia's cheeks flush red at the impropriety of the
past night). Its wrong for me to be around U Pia. We can't be together.
Pia felt her wet lashes-You'll eat your words Abhay. I'll
make U and U know what from now on i'll do the opposite to what U want from me
Abhay. Now get your hands off of me. I have friends waiting for me.
Venti came over holding Pia's hand shaking his head with
disappointment at Abhay-Pia don't bother with the permanently depressed Abhay
Raichand. He's been like this all day. I guess nerves are kicking in. Abhay's a
little anxious about playing to an audience.
Abhay frowned grumpily at Venti-Hey Abhay Raichand doesn't
get nerves because i'm made of steel. You'll never come across a superhuman in
your life like me Venti.
Venti mocked Abhay-Yeah yeah i've heard it all. Even the
sturdiest of us all have a bad day once in our life.
Abhay muttered-Everyday is a bad day for me Venti.
Pia glared angrily at Abhay-Were U born this broody Abhay or
do U have to work hard to be this way.
Isha giggled in her seat-Abhay's broody every time of the
day. I haven't seen him any other way before. Abhay U leave Pia with us. (Isha
does a once over to Pia noticing she looks a little off colour.) Pia what
happened to U? Did U and Abhay go for a little tussle in the Jungle?
Pia goes feel herself blush-I wish! (Watching Abhay smirk at
Pis'a condition) I have a habit of getting myself into these situations where i
always need someone to save me. From now on i'll be extra careful. I don't want
another lashing of Abhay's delightful scoldings. He is vicious.
Abhay sniggered with glee turning round to show his
face-That's right Pia i am heartless.
Pia shrank back upset at Abhay murmuring under her breath
but Abhay caught on-Not heartless just pretending to be one. I see right through
U misery guts.
Abhay loved watching Pia all riled up at him it made her
look even cuter than she already was-I better go get ready.
Isha gave Pia a gentle squeeze taking her hand in hers-I
know he's a little mean ok so he goes to far with U but its only because he is
hiding his love for U. He's normal with the rest of us. Even Tina gets the curt
tight whip of his tongue but he does this to U out of a defensive mechanism i
guess. U bring out the animal in him. (Giggles) Ok so its not funny but try to
break him down. I can see his armour slipping off when U push him into a corner
Pia. Its so unlike him.
Pia felt a little better watching the back of Abhay's sleek
black hair-What have i missed?
Isha drags Pia up-Lets go powder our nose first Pia. We need
to get U looking superhot for Abhay. Then i can fill U in with the after party.
I think U need to take the sweater off Pia. Its got holes in.
Pia got up and left with Isha to the ladies not wishing to
leave the immaculately gorgeous Abhay Raichand but Isha was right. Pia had to
comb her hair again-Thanks Isha. It was from my little adventures through the
Jungle.. U are the only friend i have here.
Isha smiles making sure Pia's spirit did not break-Now give
me a smile. (Pia is handed a wipe to clear away some of her eye make-up and
applies a fresh coating) Now lets do something with your hair.
Pia combs her hair-Thank U Isha for being here for me. My
own sister wants me to stay away from Abhay. I just can't i don't know why.
Isha grinned her eyes showing a glimmer of surprise-I guess
some couples are just meant to be. We have an after party to celebrate the show
being a success.
Pia clips her hair into a puff-I don't know if i should go.
Abhay already thinks i'm a stalker.
Isha laughed heartily-So what's wrong with being a stalker?
Abhay's been stalked since day one here so another crazed Abhay girl isn't a
problem for Abhay.
Pia frowned-He has that many girls after him.
Isha assured Pia-Don't feel so sad Pia. Like i said he doesn't
give any of them a days notice. He doesn't even look at them once forget twice.
My advice Pia is make Abhay jealous it does the trick. If U get a reaction then
U know he's into U.
Pia protested quietly-But i suck at flirting. I'm not
comfortable with it.
Isha encouraged Pia-Flirt with someone U are comfortable
with. Simple.
Pia wondered and got her answer-Jay! He is my best friend i
know he'll help me out.
Isha interrupted Pia placing her blusher brush down-Jay! I
think he's the best choice. Abhay doesn't like Jay much. We'll put him to the
test.
Pia to Isha-So what have i missed of the whole night?
Isha declared-Abhay has already performed once with the
boys. It was a dance number on a comedy sketch. He's got another one lined up
as the finale. We'd better go.
Pia felt disheartened-I missed it.
Isha smiles with her eyes teasing Pia-U have the best
performance left. His solo piece will break your soul Pia. I will let U decide
for yourself. So far most of us girls have been moved by this piece.
Abhay with his Mother Haseena giving him a little of her
opinion-Abhay; Pia being here isn't right. Why doesn't she ever move on? I'm grateful
she gave U back to us son. I know she is your Life but she's bringing danger
right to our doorstep.
Abhay rolled his eyes-Mom U know how Pia's mind works. I am
her obsessive compulsive disorder. She loves to be repulsed by me and at the
same time loved by me. Whatelse do U expect me to do?
Haseena hisses with intent-Try harder Abhay. Haven't U seen
and heard the howls of the intruder. Our enemies are on to us and Pia being
your weakness will be used as a weapon against U son. Don't think i haven't
noticed U saving Pia tonight. She looked like she'd been through the wars. I
can smell the blood on her Abhay. Her cut from her tryst wit death following
her to get to us.
Abha didn't have time-Mom i'm on next. (Abhay saw Pia with
Isha looking a little relaxed. It killed him to upset her the way he did but he
had no other choice. She was an expert
at breaking down all of his shields especially with those big brown eyes
staring at him in reverence) We'll discuss this later.
Abhay began to walk on stage seating himself on the stool in
front. His fingers went into action as soon as they touched the piano keys
melodiously encapsulating the beauty of his emotional turmoil. He had breathed
every depth of feelings from the darkness within him. The sea of rage at his
pitiful existence never to feel love in its truest form. This piece he'd first
played for Maithali long ago at that era it sounded so sweet. Loves lost
innocence was now filled in this tune.
Abhay closed his eyes picturing Pia in his mind trying to shake her off
and make her stop loving him. The despair flowed through him into his manic
interpretation into this melody.
Pia could feel herself go at this rhytm touching a cord in
her heart like it awakened a storm inside of her brewing for months but it was
only getting relief now running out of the room unable to get a hold on
herself. What was it about this that unsettled Pia? Her heart felt like it was
breaking. Abhay broke out of his little world he'd created for himself at the
instant Pia made a run for it. Abhay bowed to all of his audience members
feeling a pang of pride at his master piece and a little melancholic at the
remembrance of a time he'd wanted to forget but would never be able to because
those painful events had made him what he is today. If none of this ever
happened he'd never had met his sweet innocent Pia.
Isha ran after Pia and held her still-Pia! (Holds her in her
arms) What's the matter?
Pia answered softly-I don't know. I don't understand (She
sinks down to the floor) Its like my heart got ripped out. I can't explain it.
Isha understood now-U were taken away into Abhay's world. We
all were. There's so much energy in that piece of music Pia.Its the only time
we see the real Abhay. Amazing isn't he?
Pia to Ihsa-Please can i have a moment alone? I need to
gather myself.
Isha nodded-Sure take all the time U need Pia.
Pia wiped away her tears-Abhay what is it about U that i can't
control any part of my body? Even my mind has gone. What are U doing to me?
Abhay brushed past all of his peers looking for Pia
following the heartbeat of his beloved he found her crouched sown shaking-Pia.
Pia looked up at the concerned face of Abhay-Have U come to
gloat? (Stops her little outburst biting her lips watchful of Abhay's own suppressed
sadness evident on his face) Sorry. I'm not myself right now. What was that
Abhay? I could feel like i was being suffocated inside. That tune? Have i heard
it before? I know i haven't. But its like my heart...(Voice trails off)
Abhay to Pia-No you've never heard it before Pia. Its an old
tune. Only two people have ever heard it. Myself and someone lost in time. (Abhay
could tell Pia was confused) I guess U got caught up in the moment. This piece
has magic of drawing anyone in. U must be a music lover?
Pia shaked her head-No i'm not into classical music but i
could feel U. Abhay i felt U. I don't know how.
Abhay took Pia in his arms-Pia don't cry anymore. It wasn't
meant for U this. I didn't know you'd come here tonight. If i had i wouldn't
have played this and then i saw U gone i thought...
Pia suspected Abhay's motive-So this piece of music i've
never come across it efore Abhay huh? Then why do i remember the melody? I've
heard this before i'm sure. Someone played it long ago. I just can't remember
who it was.
Abhay looked puzzled. He'd never played this piece before.
It was Haseena who'd pushed him to delve deep and wash out all his demons so he
could be free from the shackles of the past. He'd moved on from Maithali. It
was because of Pia he could do this now.
Abhay to Pia-Come on i'll take U home.
Pia pushed Abhay away-No thanks. I have a ride. Jay's coming
to pick me up. I've texted him and he's on his way. Thanks for the offer
anyway.
Abhay held Pia's hand-Its for the best Pia. U should be with
someone who cares not with me.
Pia removed Abhay's hand away-U know what Abhay? U think U
know it all but U don't know what its like for me. U don't know me anymore. U
think Jay's best for me. You're right because he doesn't treat me like a third
rate citizen. He treats me like i'm a person and not some child who needs
protecting all the time.
Abhay to Pia-U don't understand.
Pia went on Abhay-Then explain it to me Abhay. I want to
know what it is that is so bad about U that U want me away from U. (Abhay tried
to reason with her) I'm not listening. Jay. (Hugs Jay while observing Abhay's
discomfort. Pia thinking to herself Good Abhay feel jealous. I want U to feel
pain. Its what you're doing to me. Feel for me.)
