PART 6
Suddenly
his eyes flashed and he combed his hair with his fingers, then his fingers
traced his forehead, slowly covering his eyes, then suddenly he opened his eyes
and gripped my forearms again, "you are TEZENDAR!!!"
I am
sure I have turned white hearing the name, he pulled me nearer to him,
"Tum Tezendar hi ho (you are definitely Tezendra)"
I tried to control myself,
"Kaun Tezendra (Tezendra who)"
"don't fool me you are Tezi, you look so much like him,
same skin color, same eyes, and same let me think you too have dark brown
hair", he pushed me and scrutinized me, "take off your cap, let me
see"
I wanted to run away, "Janab aap kya bol rahe hain mujhe
kuch samajh nahin aa raha (Sir I am unable
to understand what you are saying)" I managed to blurt, though I knew this
made him angrier.
He gave me a do not fool me look and dragged me mercilessly
to my employers room, he was much stronger and his strength always increased
with anger.
"DAADI", he shouted as he entered the room
Savitri Devi gave him a deadly look, "MAAN, behave
yourself", then he looked at me shock evident in her eyes, "why are
you harassing LUCK"
"He is not Luck, he is Tezi, Tezendar Handa, one of the
Handa twins" he smirked
I was numb
My employer turned to look at me and came forward gently
helping me out of Maan's deadly grip, and turned to look at Maan and smiled,
"No, Maan he is not Tezendar Handa, you are so obsessed with the land that
you seem to be behaving irrationally, he is Luck"
Maan again combed his hair with his fingers clearly depicting
that he was not buying this argument. He sunk into the sofa and stared at me. I
wanted to disappear. I looked at the old lady for help.
"Maan go away, you have already created a scene out of
nothing" her voice was commanding, this lady, she never gave up she was always so composed. Maan surely have
inherited his leadership qualities from this lady, both of them had an aura of
a commander.
"Daadi I am coming with you to Mumbai; and I will be
living at KM" he suddenly said
I was shocked, he will come to Mumbai and live at KM, I have
to find some other employment I thought.
"You are not
allowed to come there", she stated coolly
"I am; now that Sameera has gone I can come"
Sameera, I gave Maan a shocked look. Where is she? How does
he know her?
He smirked looking at me, "Sameera, Sameera Kapoor, as
you called her Daadi, my live in girlfriend", he was addressing his Daadi but I knew that the
statement was said for my information
"Oh so she left
you", smirked Daadi, "were you not able to satisfy her quench"
I did not like the way she referred to Sameera, but I kept
quite
"Yes you can say we broke up. We are now separated after our almost 4 years of relationship"
he said closely looking at me
I wanted to close my ears, Sameera, how can she move on this
fast, it has been almost 4 years since that fire.
"That's good"
said Savitri Devi, "I have always hated that girl, and she had such huge hunted eyes"
"You know Daadi why
her eyes always seemed haunted" he said
"Why would I
know"
"let me tell you" he said and gave me a brief look,
"Sameera was Tezi's fiance, official
fiance, after that fire broke and
everyone thought that Tezi was dead, she came with me or you can say I brought
her with me. You know why?"
"Why?"
"Because she was
increasing, I mean she was carrying Tezi's child" he did not look at me
but gave a content look to his Daadi
I was shocked, I felt like crying, I felt bad for Sameera,
she is such a nice girl, I have always loved her, so where was the baby now I
thought
Maan continued, "I brought her when she tried to kill
herself", I felt as if the earth has
moved under my feet, he was saying more, "and as
time passed I don't know how and when I started feeling for her, I used to cry
for her, I used to try to make her laugh, I wanted to give her all the
happiness. It was then I decided to buy that land for the sake of her unknown
child"
Savitri Devi gave him a weird look, "But as far as I
know there is no child"
"Yes", there was pain in his voice, "she was
in trauma for long, maybe which did not do well for the child she
was carrying; she gave birth to a still born"
The world collapsed for me, just few seconds ago I knew that
there could be a child and now there was none. The Handa heir died even before
being born. Unknowing I asked, "Still born? The heir died"
He smirked, though in pain he was composed, "Oh! Luck,
how come you are suddenly understanding and speaking English"
I crawled back
My employer shouted, "Maan, you are crossing your
limits. He is my employee you cannot question him"
Ch..ch...ch" he taunted, "so much support" he
looked at me and said, "Tezi your child died because you were not there for
him, the baby died because Sameera missed you so much that she was almost dead.
You know she till date blames herself for the inevitable. She shouts in her
sleep pleading for your forgiveness. You know how much she loves you. She is in
constant trauma" he gripped my arm again, "come to her she will be
back to normal, Tezi, come"
"He is not Tezi, Maan. And you better get out of here
before I call the security to throw you out" shouted Savitri Devi in
anger.
He left me and marched out, I was near fainting.
My employer came to me and said, "I am sorry. I did not
know all this, but you are the Handa twin"
I gave her a helpless look. I had no energy to fight now, the
Handa child was dead. The heir died.
