This is not funny. NOT FUNNYYY
this wasna da first time she had heard these words.
infact in da last 2 yrs, she had heard it more den 3 dozen times
her ears had become accustomed to dem.
ofcourse it was a whole different matter dat
she was da root cause of all those 3 dozen incidents (((Innocently Admitting)))
He was fuming. well inspite of knowing it wud have adverse effects every single time,
he had once again trusted her, and now he stood very dangerously close to strangling or wringing her neck.
He gazed at da bangle on his left wrist.
den his gaze went to da bangle on her right wrist.
AND da small 3 inch chain dat connected da 2 silver bangles.
yuP de called it HANDCUFFS or SHACKLES on dis planet !!
-----------------------------------------------------
*2 hr earlier*
come on come on cooooommmmmmmeeeee onnnnnn
she screamed from da front door for Prithvi to get moving.
2 yrs since he had first visited her home after an accidental coffee spill,
now he was a part of da decor !! (((Innocently Admitting)))
She treasured each moment of her 2 yrs wid Prithvi,
who had been by her side as a true friend
wen her father had taken ill 2 yrs bak, Prithvi single handedly had helped her maa handle the vast empire. He had been a tower of strength, helping her cope wid da biz demands widout any expectation in return.
He had been der wen she had wanted a shoulder to cry on late in da nite
He had been der wid coffee every morning like an alarm clock,
wen she needed sumone to open her block-a-light curtains each day
to drag herself from her bed
She also knew, he was trying to get a foothold for himself against da NY fast life
she had come to know him as a very honest helping friend who had not a selfish bone
who was alwaz by her side guiding her, alwaz seeing her point of view first.
though she doubted he most of da time manipulated her mind to his ways.
but den she got even in her own ways !!
todays adventure was her phatack to him. and he wasna aware of da plan.
Prithviii...iii its getting recorded on DVR u can watch it after we return !!
Prithvi sighed... sunday n she wudna even let him watch da game peacefully.
He knew he was in trouble da moment she had said Trust Me, u will love dis outing
why he still kept trusting her n why he had agreed to it once again, he was yet to decipher.
switching da tv off, he grabbed his cell as he walked out da door.
You want us to spend time at a magic show?? Damini, tell me again, how old are you??
Stop it Prithvi, dis is fun, i am sure u will enjoy,
she said as da magician asked for 2 volunteers he needed for a trick.
da auditorium was in dark wid a spotlight moving among da crowd.
One moment it was dark around, da next moment da spotlight was on Prithvi.
He raised his eyes in surprise n looked at Damini.
who was sitting der wid Garfield eyes, her one hand raised up in air.
She had jus volunteered dem for da magicial trick !!
His *NO* never left his mouth as she pulled him onto da stage.
He realised it was da common handcuff trick, where he wud be shackled wid Damini
and den da magician will throw da key away, and a few minutes later,
will open da shackles and da crowd will cheer on.
simple trick, wont take a minute. he relaxed.
BUT as de say, if u want God to smile, Tell him ur plans !!
Da magician put da shackle on his left hand and da other one on her right hand.
da crowd cheered.
and den de wer asked to pull apart, showing da crowd dat it was fullproof tight.
da cheering went up louder
den he threw da key in da crowd.
he cud hear da whistling and applauds.
now he looked at da magician, waiting for him to walk upto dem and remove da handcuffs.
After dat everyfink happened in slow motion !!
outta da corner of his eyes he saw Damini gazing up wid her multimillion dollar smile
at da helper who was re-lighting a candle for da next trick
his gaze went higher up to da helper, who stood tranced wid Damini's smile, as he lit da candle widout watchering it.
in slow motion Prithvi watched da candle slip outta da helpers hands n fall down on da soft velvet curtain a few feet below, catching fire.
within moments an entire curtained wall went up in flames and
da sprinkler system got activated. UH-UH.
Total chaos... people started running out of da auditorium.
Damini saw a curtained roof top cover falling down in flames. she screamed his name.
A heart wrenching scream, he wud never forget so long as he lived.
He immediately covered her wid his body protecting her from da flames.
sumwer at da bak of his mind a flash of a file search moment... a cupboard... 2 souls trapped?? sum soothing air being blown?? and one very endearing phrase *Aap theek to hai na* played in Fast Forward mode... Luckily da roof cover fell a few feet away.
She shouted wid all her might, RUNNN. He ran.
De fell against each other wid force
making dem realise de wer shackled together !!
Oh for gods sake, Prithvi shouted as he lifted her, his right hand under her knees
her right hand across her chest towards her left side as his left hand supported her back.
He ran outside completely drenched. He didna stop till de reached da car park area safely.
He hailed a cab and got dem away from da chaotic scene.
*Present*:
She stood outside her apt trying to get da key in da lock wid her left hand,
almost giggling at der situation
here de stood fully drenched up, handcuffed widout a key. it really was funny.
But perharps he didna find it dat way, coz right now he was frowning at her
and wishing he had never set eyes on her,
one late nite on da beach
one late nite in da hotel corridor.
One early morning on a busy NY street.
He groaned in frustration.
Gimme dat key !! he pulled it outta her hands and fitted in da keyhole wid his usefull right hand.
De stood in da middle of da living room, dripping lil drops of water on da carpet.
*You need to remove your clothes* Damini's innocent concerned comment met
*Yaa BABE, its high time, 2 yrs is a long time* Prithvi's snarky reply to her discomfort
she swallowed, though her throat had suddenly gone dry
Prithvi... i mean... we will catch a cold... i mean
yuP i know wot u mean ----CHAND !! she was trying his patience
and how do u propose we do it?? he lifted his hand to show her da shackles dat bind dem.
*Follow me* she started walking towards her bedroom
since he didna budge an iota, she was suddenly pulled against him in one forcefull move straining her wrist. he felt da pull on his wrist too. frowning sum more.
One moment she was walking away to her bedroom
da next moment she was *Plastered* to a wet broad expanse of a wall
The wall was beeping... faster and faster.
*Roopa ka baniyan pehnoo to Roopa kya pehnegi*
and da wall had a background music too like in our Kekta-Mai shows !!
HUH...dat didna sound right...Damini thot frowning
suddenly realising like alwaz, prankingly...
it was da caller tune she has uploaded on his cell last nite sly-ly
UH-HUH, not a rite moment n way for him to find out !!
Making da most innocent face ever, she started looking up...
---------------------------------------------
W*H... Daaminiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... u once again touched mah cell !!
Havena u been warned enuff to know by now !! sumday i am SO gonna get yaa !!
U wont know wen its coming. U wont know how its coming... but iTS COMING !!
He thundered.
Damini if u are done trancing about whomever u trance abt every now n den...
can u move away so i can pick up dis call??
Prithvi's sarcastic tone interrupted her dreamy thots
Damini looked up into his eyes, not moving an iota.
Der are moments dat one never forgets. Da Past.
Der are moments dat one dun ever wanna forget. Da Future.
Prithvi wished dis moment jus froze in time. Da Present.
2yrs he had patiently been a true friend to her
but wen she looked up like dat at him
her petite frame against his
her lips in a slight pout
her tender wisp of hair, playing hide n seek on her face
So much *Trust* in her clear sparkling mesmerising eyes
Dat day for da first time since der NZ beach brush in, Prithvi wondered
*Did he deserve her in da first place*
Time to find out soon...
wotever we write wotever we read wotever we IMAGINE
abt Prithvi and Damini, we still crave sum more.
De come together and burst into a scene
jus by being in da same frame.
and if we see a few sparks here on dis planet,
we call it a *FESTIVAL*
so next time u see a firecraker lite up da sky' remember
sumhow, PriDa as de are known in literary world
