Atul Kataria
A ticket man, who works in travel agency, gave ticket to Piya for Chinchav. He is the same man who had an eye on Piya's every movement in Churchgate, until she left for the Chinchav. He phones his boss as soon as Piya mentions about Chinchav, which Piya and Alisha unnoticed.

Piya thinks he is daydreaming.


Atul looked at Piya weirdly but he was actually thinking about her in his mind, "If she is the same girl, then why does she want to book the return tickets?"

But when Atul comes to know Piya is booking a return ticket, he couldn't stop himself and again Piya assumed he is daydreaming.

The Vampires Family

This FF I'd wrote when PKYEK had shown a office scene of Siddharth where Panchi, Piya, T everyone were working. This idea came in my mind at that moment. But never thought to share this story with anyone, as I wanted to make novel based on the office romance.

But now since I dropped the idea of making office romance novel, so I thought to share my memorable story with everyone.

The Vampires Family is about Piya, ofcourse she is human, but this journey is from her Point of View. You will not see any other Point of View in this story. Piya will share her experience of office, her life, her romance and most important how she met the vampires family.

Somewhere, this story is very close to my heart as Piya in this story is my xerox copy. LOL

So don't laugh if Piya acts weird, because I'm like this in my real life.



Disclaimer: All characters, places and events mentioned in this story are pure fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental & not intended to hurt anyone's emotions.

The Vampires Family


Summary:
Life has certainly not been simpler for a twenty-four years old girl Piya for past three years. She is a news reporter by profession, who don't like to stay with her parents. She determines to settle independently and moves to Chinchav. She has given a responsibility to report a few unsolved murders and missing cases. There is already a guy, waiting for her, since ages in Chinchav. He is a very protective cold monster. He admonishes her to back out from the cases. She suspects him for being not ordinary and chooses to figure out his unusual behavior by herself, which relates her. When reaches closer to the reality, she confronts him. Her fate is to be with an obsessed vampire, but loving him will dig her in more misfortune.


PPS: Chinchav place does not exist in real. This place is created by me in the story, everything about this place is fiction. I wanted to take some town's name, but it didn't suit or matched with my story, so I created my own place, my own atmosphere and my own hangouts in this story. So don't laugh.

PS: This short update will help you to understand mental condition of Piya's parents.

SHORT EXTENDED UPDATE

When I came out from those memories, I realised tears were wrestling on my cheeks. I just wiped my tears away and gave an awkward smile to Misha. She could notice tension and sadness on my face.

She said comedily, "chinta mat kar. Woh tharki police wala dubara kabhi mujhe mila na toh mai usse washing machine mai daal ke dho dungi. Uss ki aisi band bajaungi ke agli baar apne power ka galat istamal karne se pehle 100 baar sochega." I smiled when she said those reliving words by clenching her teeth and rounding the motion of her fist as if she wants to hammer on inspector Shinde's head.

As well as I could see her fingers were clenching under her fist as if she was willing to punch him. She just hugged me tightly and pat on my head to smile, not to cry.

I could finally see smile on my dad's face. He said, "Yeh baat tum mujhe pehle batah deti toh commissioner se bol ke uss ko naukari se nikalwa deta."

Misha said in her funny voice, "Toh aab kaunsa der hua hai? Abhi kar dijiye commissioner uncle ko call? Aur dekha dijiye uss cockroach ko ke woh magarmach se panga nahi le sakta hai." She started doing action with her hand and fingers, as if she has pistol in her hand and she is shooting with that pistol by pointing on mom, dad, me and Ruhi.

"Misha, Misha… itna jada excitement achi nahi hoti hai." Ruhi said sugary way, yet fear rose in her voice while rolling her eyes towards me and then at Misha and then at mom and dad.

We all forgot our bitterness and were enjoying in the car. Misha was trying to make fun of Ruhi and I was the center of attraction. Misha made me referee when she was making fun of Ruhi. I simply enjoyed this moment. I was laughing, teasing Ruhi, slapping Misha on her shoulder and were hanging our hands on each other.

"Bandh karo yeh sab." Mom started shouting on Misha and then she looked at me.

"Tum teeno aab bade ho gaye ho. Apna umar dekho aur apni harqate dekho. Kaun kahega tum teeno 22 saal ke ho?" She taunted.

I closed my lips immediately and my expression turned into seriousness. Unfortunately, Misha is such a fun making girl that instead of keeping quiet, she teased mom from behind by showing her tongue, rolling her eyes and then shaking fingers through her temples.

"Misha chup." I whispered by placing index finger on my lip and stopping her to misbehave.

"Uncle?" Misha annoyed dad by poking at his back with her index finger.

"Kya hai Misha? Car chalane doogi?" Dad amusingly said.

Misha shook her head in response and said, "commissioner uncle ko call karo na?" She said by making puppy face.

"Abhi call karunga toh uss inspector ko mauka mil jaayega meri beti pe ungli uthane ka. Aur mai hargis bardash nahi kar sakta koi meri beti pe ungli uthaye." Dad yelled at Misha and his voice lined guilt.

Misha nods her head and wraps her arms against her chest. She sits quietly without talking anything and I could see how much dad's word hurted her. She just started looking outside the closed window. Her eyes didn't even wanted to meet mine. Ruhi hinted me with her finger to cheer Misha. I did what Ruhi said. I forgot all my pain and started making Misha laugh. Mom was simply staring at us when she saw that I was cuddling Misha in her hips and then in her arms and making her laugh.

As soon as Misha laughed, Ruhi and I joined her and we enjoyed playing pranks on each other. Until, Dobriyal mansion arrived.

Misha and Ruhi hugged me and walked out from the car. They didn't came with us in my house. Maybe because they already had seen mom's anger face, which even I noticed.

Misha and Ruhi took the cab and just left me alone with my parents. I knew many questions my parents must be having in their mind, which probably I've to answer as we go inside the house.

I was getting scared to go inside, mom just hold me from the back of my elbow and forcibly took me inside the gate and then at home.

She threw me on the sofa and started shouting, "kya iss din ke liye humne tumhe aazadi dia tha ke tum uss ka galat faida utha ke ghar se bhag sako?"

Dad tried to control mom, but she busted on dad by saying, "tum chup raho, Arnab. Sab tumhari wajah se hua hai. Aur chadao saar pe apni beti ko. Dost bana-bana ke acha bewakuf bana dia tumhari beti ne aaj tumko." She taunted non-stop, didn't allowed dad and me to speak.

Dad tried to interfere but mom just kept on going with her lecture. At that moment, dad screamed and stopped mom. She remained mum.

"Tum har cheez ke liye mujhe dosh kyun de rahi ho? Galti tumhari bhi toh hai? Tumne bhi kuch kam aazadi nahi dia tha Piya ko. Aur mat bhulo, yeh movies ke liye encouragement usse tumse hi mila tha. Jab maine mana kia tha ke movies pe mat jane doo Piya ko, toh woh tum hi thi jiss ne usse horror movies dekhne ke liye uksaya tha." Dad uninterruptedly talked and mom was busy giving her shocking look by raising her eyes.

This was the perfect one-on-one match for me. My parents were fighting with each other and I was the audience enjoying the fight by sitting on the sofa.

Mom punches dad with her killer words, "mai zimmedar hoon movies bhejne ke liye? Aur novels ke liye kisne encouragement kia tha? Woh tum hi the Arnab, jissne apni beti ko apne jaisa novel kida bana dia tha."

My stomach started fluttering as I laughed loudly, though they were busy with their verbal punches. But they didn't realised that I was enjoying this game show. But who will be the winner?

"Madhu, novel ki baat mat nikalo." Dad pointed forefinger towards mom and continued with his words of action, "Novel padhne mai toh usse interest tha hi nahi. Tum jo leke jati thi usse apne saath, kabhi shopping, kabhi movies, kabhi apne kitty parties. Novel mai interest leti kab woh?" Dad shook his neck and kept on moving his forefingers rising towards mom.

I took more keen interest in watching their punching fights. But there was something missing. I just looked here and there by rolling my eyes and suddenly I remembered popcorn, without which this match is boring. I decided to get popcorn from the kitchen.

As soon as I stood from the sofa, mom groaned at me angrily and screamed looking at me, "Kaha jaa rahi ho?"

There was so much excitement on my face, which was visible for my parents to watch me. I just tried to confuse them by saying, "popcorn laane jaa rahi hoon." I smirked by caressing my curly hair at the side of my face.

Mom gave a confused look, but dad looked at me comedily. He knew what I meant by popcorn. He nods his head and laughed giving a smart look to me. He said to mom, "Madhu, tumne iss ka matlab samjha?"

Mom still had confused expression and she shook her head, but dad cleared her doubts by pointing forefinger at me and angrily voiced, "hum jo iske wajah se lad rahe hai, yeh usse enjoy kar rahi hai. Aur isliye popcorn ke bahane woh entertainment karwa rahi hai khud ka."

Mom raised her voice by screaming at me, "Piyaaa" I placed my hands in my ears and my body shook hearing mom's screamy voice.

Mom angrily said, "hum tumhare liye mini theatre hai jo tum popcorn leke apna entertainment kar rahi ho?" She pointed index finger at me and groaned.

At that moment, I really wanted to laugh but I controlled by sealing my lip tightly and remained mum.

"Ek baat yaad rakhna Piya, aab tum kahin bhi akeli nahi jaaogi." Mom said by pointing forefinger at me and angrily grabbed my arms.

I gulped my throat and made my eyes innocent like a baby, but there wasn't anything I could do, to melt my mom's hurtful heart. I know she was very much hurted by my behavior, but I wish I could explain her how much desperate I was to find a vampire for me. Though hurting them, was not my intention, but somehow I'd hurt my parents and I regret for it now.


Did you enjoy the punches?

Thanks.

Chapter Four

Piya's POV


"Abhay. Abhay." I heard someone screaming that name in darkness. I could hear a strong male voice and a dark figure that suddenly disappeared in darkness.

"Aa raha hoon." The boy looked towards the darkness and replied in his strong manly voice.

"Tumhara naam Abhay hai?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

He didn't replied to my question. He rudely looked at me, turned his face on the other side, holds my hand tightly, and pulling me with him.

"Kaha leke jaa rahe ho mujhe?" I asked in a shakily voice.

"Tumhe jungle ke bahar chod deta hoon." He responded with an attitude in his voice.

"Maine tumse kaha tha, jab tak tum mere sawal ka jawab nahi de dete ho. Mai yaha se kahin nahi jaaungi." I pulled my hand from his grip and demanded an answer from him.

"Tumhare kisi sawal ka jawab nahi hai mere paas." He rudely uttered sending a strict volume towards my ear. His face had stiffness while staring at me.

"Tum jhut bol rahe ho. Tumhare paas mere har sawal ka jawab hai. Par jawab dena nahi chahte." I tried to be rude, but there was a sadness filtered in my voice.

"Tum mere liye anjan ho. Tumhare sawalo ka jawab dena toh door ki baat hai, mai anjaan se baat tak karna pasand nahi karta." He raised his voice rudely by showing his disapproveness.

"Acha? Baat nahi kar sakte, par chaar baar meri jaan bacha sakte ho?" I screamed but a tear in my eyes started dripping on my cheek.

"Insaniyat ke liye madat kia tha. Agar nahi chahti ho ki mai insaniyat dekhau. Toh akeli jaao jungle se bahar." He pushed me by my arm and said to go alone.

"Haan. Haan. Chali jaaungi akele. Madat ke liye thanks." I groaned.

"Ek aur baar thanks kyun kaha? Aab fhir se madat karni hogi tumhari. Mujhe kisi ka udhaar rakhna pasand nahi." He aggressively uttered.

"Oh! Jo pichli baar, tumne mera madat kia tha, woh kya thanks ka udhaar chukane ke liye kia tha?" I felt dejected with his behavior and I couldn't understand what exactly made me feel heart-broken.

He nods his head and replied aggressively, "Haan. Aab ek aur baar madat karna hoga." Unhappiness was visible on his face. I could witness guilt in his voice as if he was doing a favor by helping me.

"Tumhe meri madat karni hai na, toh mere sawal ka jawab de doo, tum par fhir koi udhar nahi rahega." I replied offensively.

"Pucho? Jo sawal puchna hai pucho?" He asked furiously.

"Tumhara naam Abhay hai?" I asked.
"Haan."
"Pura naam?" I interrogated.
"Aab pura naam kyun janna hai?" He frowned.
"Tum bas bolo?" I uttered.
"Abhay Raichand." He rudely raised his voice.
"Tumne kaha tha sherni ko bhi kisi ka intezar hai. Toh sherni ke alava aur kis ko intezar hai?" I asked in hope, as if I was expecting a positive sign from his side. As if, he is the one who is waiting for someone.
He groaned, "Hamare kabile mai bahut log hai jis ko kisi ka intezar hai. Lekin agar tum yeh soch rahi ho ke mujhe kisi ka intezar hai, toh apne dimag se yeh nikal doo. Meri sagai ho chuki hai."

I was stunned hearing his answer. I couldn't believe he was engaged. He continued groaning by showing his engagement finger in which thick and big shiny golden ring was fixed. I felt like crying. I was so stupid to believe that he was waiting for someone and he must be werewolf or a vampire.

"How dumb I could be?" I mumbled.

"Tumhare sawalo ka peetara khatam ho gaya? Ya kuch aur bhi baki hai?" He exasperated but slowly amusement rose in his voice.

"Sawal toh bahut hai, Abhay. Par jawab tum dooge nahi." I wrapped my arms against my chest and hinted him about his rude behavior.

"Jitna sawalo ka peetara tum mere saamne khol rahi ho, utna agar Kabir ke saamne khola hota, toh tumhe ghar se bhagne ki zarurat nahi padti, Piya." He frustratedly said by looking down into my eyes.

My heart skipped a beat and I staggered when he took my name, as if he threw bomb on my head. I was about to stumble as my legs shakes in shock. He grabbed the back of my arm and amusingly said, "Tum toh sawal puchte waqt bhi girti rehti ho. Itna bhi khud ko sambhal nahi sakti kya?"

I pushed him slightly against his broad chest, in anger and said, "Tum mujhe girne doo, mai sambhal lungi khud ko."

"Jungle se bahar jaaogi tab girte rehna. Nahi aaunga bachane. Abhi tumhara udhaar chuka dia hai." His voice raised impoliteness as if he has problem with me.

"Lekin mera sawal khatam nahi hua." I ruffled.

"Woh toh waise bhi kabhi khatam nahi hoga." He grinned while putting one of his hands inside the pant pocket.

I clenched my fist and felt like punching him, but I controlled my anger by breathing out.

"Mujhe kuch aur sawal ke jawab janna hai. Bas woh jawab de dena, fhir mai yaha se chali jaaungi." I replied nervously.

"Mai tumhara sawal janta hoon. Lekin, uska jawab mai nahi dunga." He shamelessly replied.

"Tumhe kaise pata ke mujhe kya sawal puchna hai?" I comedily asked.

"Mujhe sab pata hai, Piya. Tumhara sawal bhi aur tum kya janna chahti ho, woh bhi. Lekin, tumhara udhaar chukta ho gaya hai. Aab na koi sawal aur nahi koi jawab." He smirked by narrowing his eyes.

I opened my mouth in excitement. However, before, I could speak anything; I heard a sound of horn that buzzed my ear. I could see a flash of smile at the corner of Abhay's lip. As if, he is happy to hear that horn.

I asked the reason of his happiness, which was visible on his face, even though he tried his best to hide his happiness under his rudeness and arrogance. But the corner of his lip that smiled for a second, couldn't hide from my eyes. I'm a good observer, especially if any strange thing happens in front of my eyes, I grasp that quickly.

"Tum kafi sawal karti ho. Itna jada mat socho, warna dimag faat jaayega." He replied with amusement.

"Tum mere sawal ka jawab kyun nahi dete? Fhir jada nahi sochungi." I frustratedly voiced.

"Piya-Piya. Kaha ho Piya?" The male voice had a sign of worriedness and it was very familiar for my ears. But the voice was coming from outside the forest.

"Piya, tumhare dad aagaye hai. Kaha ho Piya?" I felt shuttered when male voice uttered dad.

I forgot everything and ran towards the direction of my dad's voice.

"Piya. Please batao kaha ho tum?" Dad worriedly said. I could hear his cryful voice.

"Dad, mai yaha hoon. Jungle mai." I screamed as louder as my throat allowed me to speak.
"Ruko. Mai chod deta hoon." Abhay said.

As he said those words, my head reminded me that Abhay still exist with me. My legs immediately stopped running. I started breathing faster from my mouth, as I could feel the low energy in my body that didn't allowed me to run again.

Abhay came closer to me and said, "Mai hoon na? Bhagne ki zarurat kya thi? Waise bhi tumhare dad yaha tumhe liye bina jaayenge nahi."

I smiled hearing his soft yet amused voice, "Dad pareshan ho jaayenge isliye bhagi."

"Woh pareshan nahi hoge. Maine hi unhe yaha bulaya tha." He voiced holding my hand and took me towards outside the deep forest.

"Tumne dad ko bulaya?" I shockingly asked. I didn't realise my mouth was broadly opened and eyes widened.

"Haan. Aab jaao." He said by losing his grip from my wrist and my hand felled down at the side of my body.

"Tumne dad ko call kab kia? Tum toh pura waqt mere saath the." I confusingly asked staring in his icy blue eyes.

We were outside the deep forest, where one side dad was waiting outside his car. There was no driver with him. He was alone. On the other side, Abhay was with me, we were standing near the corner of tree.

"Tum sawal puchna bandh karo. Tumhare dad tumhara intezar kar rahe hai. Jaao unke paas."  I shook my head in response when he rudely said me to go towards my dad.

I again heard growling sound of tigress. Abhay screamed bending his head towards me, "Jaao jaldi yaha se. Woh uth gayi hai. Jaao." I again shook my head. But he pushed my back and forced me to go from the forest.

My dad screamed to come towards him. I could see angriness in dad's eyes. But I'd so many questions, that was unanswered and I wanted Abhay to reply it. But he just didn't said anything.

"Abhay mai wapis aaungi. Apne sawal ka jawab lene." I said in mind. I turned my face at back to see Abhay; he was standing there. I could see several emotions flashing on his face. He was sad, depressed, worried, and painful. Then suddenly he started waving his hand slowly.

For a second, I unknowingly stretched my lip to smile and waved my hand.

Tigress growled repeatedly and I shook my body. Dad fearfully took me on his side.

"Tum kisse haath dekha rahi thi?" Dad asked caressing my arms with his both hands.

"Abhay." I whispered. I could still see Abhay waving his hand towards me and madly I did the same, waving my hand.

"Piya, tum theek toh ho?" Dad sweated and his voice rose in tension.
"Haan, dad. Mai theek hoon." I laughed while replying him.
"Agar tum theek ho, toh aisa pagalo ki tarah haasna, akele mai baat karna aur yeh hawa mai haath ko hilana. Yeh sab kya hai?"

I shockingly stared at dad. I thought he has gone mad. He asked me such a stupid question.

"Dad, aap ko andhere mai dekhna kaise bandh ho gaya?" I laughed.

"Tum kya kehna chahti ho?" He angrily groaned.

"Saamne dekhiye." I said showing my index finger straight towards Abhay.

Dad looked at me and then at my index finger. He rolled his eyes towards the direction of my index finger. He looked straight and said, "Kaha hai Abhay?"

I glanced at Abhay confusingly and then I glanced at dad. I could see Abhay standing straight in front of my eyes with one of his hands inside the pocket, but dad stared at me and a question mark hinted above his head.

"Saamne toh khada hai. Aap dekh kyun nahi rahe hai usse?" I confusingly asked.

"Piya hosh mai aao. Waha koi nahi hai." Dad holds my arms tightly and shakes it to make me believe that Abhay doesn't exist.

I shockingly remained mum.

"Abhay ke wajah se aap yaha hai. Aur aap Abhay ko hi nahi pehchan paaye?" I unhappily whispered.

"Abhay ke wajah se? Tumhe yeh kisne kaha?" Dad angrily asked.

"Abhay ne khud. Ussne aap ko call kia aur yaha bulaya tha." I blankly responded.

"Nahi. Mujhe kisi Abhay ne yaha nahi bulaya." He blunted those words on my face, giving an angry look towards me.

"Kya? Agar Abhay ne nahi bulaya tha. Toh kisne bulaya?" I confusingly asked.

"Car mai baith jaao. Baad mai baat karenge." Dad avoided replying at that moment.

Before sitting in the front seat of the car, for the last time I saw Abhay, who was still standing and waiting for me to leave. I forgot everything completely. I just stared at him when he again waved his hand, I too responded waving my hand.

But I could see disappointment while waving at him. I didn't smiled, neither I could feel like to smile.

As soon I turned my face in front to sit in the car, I saw him through the side mirror view of the car, he suddenly disappeared in the air and I again turned my face behind in shock, to see him. But he was already disappeared from my sight.

"Piya baith jaao." Dad screams while sitting in his driver's seat.
I nodded my head and sat inside but confusion about Abhay's disappearance trolled my head. Dad started driving the car.

"I'm so confused. Is Abhay a vampire or not? Is he Werewolf or human. What is he?"

All the confusions bang my head. I was never that much jumbled in my life, as much my current situation forced me to retain, until I meet Abhay once again.

I distracted myself from Abhay's thoughts that were making me restless.

"Dad aab batao kisne call kia tha aap ko?" I asked giving an urgent look.

"Yeh toh nahi pata ke kisne call kia tha. Ussne naam nahi bataya. Bas itna kaha ke tum jungle mai ho aur isse pehle koi jungli jaanwar tumhe kha jaaye, tumhe waha se leke jaau." Dad revealed about the mysterious call given by a mysterious man.

I'd doubt on Abhay that it was him. But I didn't understand why he didn't mentioned his name. Why did he keep his name hidden?

Dad's mobile started ringing and I halted my thoughts.

He smiled and comedily said, "Tumhari mom, usse bilkul bhi sabar nahi hota hai. Aab tak 20 baar call kia ussne. Yeh uska 21 ka call hai." I laughed at the end of his talk.

Dad pressed the button and gave it to me by whispering, "tum baat karo. Usse khushi hogi."

"Hello Arnab." I heard mom's worried voice.

"Mom, mai hoon. Piya." I said smilingly.

"Piya, kaisi ho Piya? Tum kaha chali gayi thi? Tum thik toh ho? Iss tarah se koi bhag ke jata hai bhala? Lo Kabir se baat karo." Mom didn't allowed me to speak. She was talking uninterruptedly.

"Mom, relax-" As soon as I said that, I was interrupted by Kabir.

"Kaisi ho, Piya?" Kabir asked depressively.

"Mai theek hoon, Kabir." Even though I voiced, but I could feel uncomforting in my own voice. Suddenly, I felt my best friend Kabir has gone far away from me. He wasn't the same anymore with whom I always shared comfort.

"Main bahut bura hoon na? Meri wajah se tumhe bhagna pada. I'm sorry." Kabir apologized.

"Nahi, Kabir. Iss mai tumhari koi galti nahi hai." I felt so relaxation when he apologized. I could again feel that Kabir was back, who always been bestest friend like Misha and Ruhi.

"Galti meri hi toh hai. Uncle aunty ne pucha aur maine apna dil ki baat batah diya. Kabhi yeh sochne ki koshish hi nahi kia ke tum mujhse pyar nahi karti ho. Mai itna swarthi ho gaya tha ke bhul gaya, tumhara jawab bhi bahut maayne rakhta hai." I could feel guiltiness in Kabir's voice and that really made me more comfortable to talk with him.

Same guilt I could see on dad's face when he was looking at me, while driving.

"Kabir sab purani baatein bhul jaao. Aab ek nayi dosti ki shuruwat karte hai." I smiled and replied.

"Haan. Jab tum yaha aaogi toh dekhna tumhe ek naya Kabir milega." I laughed when he amusingly voiced.

"Misha aur Ruhi bhi nayi milegi ya wahi purani ban ke rahegi?" I teased.

"Piya ki bachi dekh lungi tumhe, yaha aa jana fhir batati hoon ke mai nayi rahungi ya purani." I felt shocked it was Misha's voice.

It seems everyone is waiting for me in my house.

"Misha, tu bhi waha pe hai?" I asked with excitement and I felt so relief with all that marriage drama's, that for a second I thought it has finally ended now.

"Haan mai bhi hoon, aur Ruhi bhi hai." Misha said but her voice hinted me enthusiasm.

"Ae, mujhe bhi dena, Mishu. Mai bhi baat karti hoon Piya se." I heard a sweet little girl's voice. That was Ruhi.

"Hi Piya, kaisi hai? Pata hai tere aane ki khushi mai ek surprise rakha hai. Aur woh media wale-" Her sugary voice suddenly got disturbed and I couldn't hear anything.

When I was hearing her voice, I was actually laughing and enjoying her sweet baby voice.

"Ruhi kya hua? Media ke bare mai kya keh rahi thi tum?" I voiced concerned. But on the other line, I couldn't hear Ruhi or anyone. It felt like as if someone kept his or her hand on the speaker.

Dad pulled mobile from my hand and his voice shivered, "Ku-Kuch nahi. Woh media wale, you know na… tumhe pata hai na kahin bhi pahuch jate hai. Bas party dekha toh aa gaye." He was stammering and sweat became visible on his forehead. I could easily say that he was lying.

Something hidden from me, as I asked dad, he continued with his lying. But I'll find out.

In my mind, I started making do-it-list. My memory is sharp and I remember everything that I lock in my mind.

My do-it-list as follows:

1.      How Abhay knows my name?
2.      How Abhay knows about Kabir and why I ran from my own house.
3.      Is he really engaged? Then why he showed so many emotions to me that I felt like he was not happy at all?
4.      Why he behaved so rude with me, when according to him I'm a stranger?
5.      If he had called to my dad then why he hide his name?
6.      How did he have my dad's contact number?
7.      Why my dad couldn't see him when I was talking to him, when I waved my hand towards him?
8.      What is the media connection with the party that made dad hide this from me?

I had decided to work on my do-it-list from tonight, after the end of surprise party, maybe.
**End**

Phew! Another Big Chapter. I simply enjoyed writing Abhay-Piya's conversation.

Did you enjoy this chapter?

PPS: Do promote this story.

Thanks.

Chapter Three (PART-2)

Piya’s POV

I heard soft cluttering sound of shoes that were coming from outside the front door. I was sitting on the bench, in police station.

Now the sound was closer and much louder. I bend my head towards the front door to see who was coming. I still had tears in my eyes, my lip were dry and throat sour due to crying. I saw my dad standing near the door. He saw me giving a strict serious look, buttoned his grey suit. As soon as I stood to run towards my dad, he just walked inside and moved towards inspector Shinde.

Eventually, mom too came inside. But she didn’t allowed to hug her. She just raised her hand and stopped me to come closer to her.

Surprisingly, Misha and Ruhi were standing behind mom. I was shocked to see them. I walked backward towards Misha and whispered in her ear, “tum log yaha kya kar rahe ho?” I saw a guilt and disappointment at the same time, on Misha’s face. Ruhi was asusual nervous. Somehow, they gave signal with their eyes and rubbed my hand and Misha told me to stand with her.

Piya.” I heard someone calling my name possessively. I turned my head back, again another shock for me.

Kabir and Angad both came together.

Kabir hugged me tightly in his arms and asked, "tum thik toh ho, Piya?" I nod my head in response. I saw several questions flashing in his eyes.

What the hell.” I murmured. I pulled myself from his arms.

Before, I could speak anything, my dad started his talk. He bang on inspector Shinde’s table and shouted at him, “Aap ki himmat kaisi hui meri beti ko police station mai puri raat rakhne ki?” I never saw that much anger on dad’s face ever. He always been sophisticated and soft-spoken man. He never screamed or even shouted at anyone. But looking at his volume, I felt stunned.

Aap ki beti se hi kyun nahi puch lete hai ke unko police station mai rakha kyun hai?” Inspector Shinde uttered excusing himself from all the blames.

My dad pointed forefinger towards his face and said harshly, “aap ne pakda hai usse. Isliye aap batayenge ke ussne kya kia hai.

Thik hai. Agar mere muh se hi aap ko sach janna hai toh aayiye sach ki shuruwat waha se karte hai jaha se hona chahiye.” He pointed his hand towards the lockup and stood from his chair to take my dad, mom, Misha, Ruhi, Kabir and Angad. I was standing with Misha. She was holding my hand.

Inn se milaye. Yeh auto wala hai. Wahi auto wala jiss ke auto mai baith ke aap ki beti ghumne gayi thi.” He pointed finger at Auto driver who was first sitting in the lockup giving a depression look. But as soon as inspector Shinde introduced him to my parents and friends, he stood up and looked at him giving a guilty look.
Ghumna kya jurm hai? Jo meri beti ko police station mai lekar aa gaye aur iss auto wale ko lockup mai daal dia?” Dad yelled.

Aap ko apni beti se puchna chahiye kitna baje ghumne gayi thi.” Inspector Shinde politely said.

Mai apni beti se kuch nahi puchunga. Jo batayenge sab aap hi batayenge.” He looked at me in anger and then he stared at inspector Shinde.

I wiped my tears with free hand and concentrated on their talks.

Kal raat aap ki beti raat ke 2 baje ghumne nikali. Subah ke 4 baje humne inhe Peth fort ke waha se pakda.” Dad shockingly stared at me by turning his head behind. Mom’s expression too wasn’t pleasant. Everyone had their eyes on me. I felt guilty looking at everyone and I couldn’t see in anyone’s eyes. My eyes gazed down, at my own sandal, which were messy and all muds were stuck on my silver sandal.

Inspector Shinde continued with his complaints, “itna hi nahi, aap ki beti ne tourist spots pe ghumne ke liye, iss auto wale ko rishwat dene ki koshish kia.” Dad broadly opened his mouth and looked at me in shock. Mom simply nodded and gave a hint with her eyes, as if her eyes were talking several unsaid hateful words to me.

I innocently looked at my dad, mom. Misha whispered in my ear, “tu pagal ho gayi hai? Yeh tune kya kia? Apne saath-saath uss auto wale ko bhi fasa dia?” Her words not only hurted me, but it ached my heart. I realised my mistake of bribing Auto driver. But at that moment, I had no choice and even he greedily agreed to take me. Afterall, even he needed money and I wanted to find vampire. We both needed help and certainly, this was the only choice I had.

Meri beti ne tumhe kitne rupaye diye?” Dad asked auto driver giving a serious look.

Auto driver was already scared as Inspector Shinde was looking at him in anger. But he said the truth, “ek bhi nahi. Didi ne kaha tha ke sab jagah ghumne ke baad rupaye degi.” He replied in shiver while glancing at me.

Dekha inspector. Meri beti ne sirf kaha tha, uss ne rishwat dia nahi. Toh kis buniyat pe usse yaha rakha gaya?” Dad finally supported me and defended me in front of inspector Shinde.

Shayad aap ko pata hoga jaise bribe dena aur lena ek jurm hai. Waisa hi bribe offer karna aur offer accept karna bhi ek jurm hai.” Inspector Shinde started talking about his law and under section act. Everything simply went bouncer from my head. He continued with his talk while looking at me first and then at my dad, “Aap ki beti ne bribe ka offer dia tha aur iss auto wale ne uss offer ko accept kia.” He then gazed at Auto driver. Auto driver innocently put his head down and accepted his mistake.

Dad wasn’t willing to talk with me, same goes with mom. They completely side-lined me as if I never existed for them. I really felt very bad that my parents behaved as if they lost their trust on me.

Inspector Shinde allowed leaving me. Dad completed the formalities and signed a document. That inspector told his constable to get that auto driver from the lockup. The constable unlocked the lockup and grabbed auto driver’s collar and pushed him towards Inspector Shinde’s table.

Auto driver joined his hands and apologized to inspector Shinde and said, “Maaf kar doo sahab, dubara aisi galti nahi hoga.

Inspector Shinde nods his head and said, “Tumhare hisse ka jurmana bhar dia hai Mr. Dobriyal ne. Inko bhi shukriya keh doo. Aaj inhone tumhara jurmana nahi bhara hota toh tum aaj bhi iss jail mai saad gaye hote.

Auto driver joins his hand and thanks my dad for saving him from all the trouble. He even ends up falling on my dad’s legs and holds it pleading for forgiveness.

My dad forgives him and stood up from the chair. He caressed auto driver’s shoulder and said, “tumne meri beti ki madat kia hai. Jo maine kia woh kuch bhi nahi hai uss ke saamne. Shukriya toh mujhe tumhe kehna chahiye. Galti meri beti ne kia aur sazzaa tumhe mili.” Dad looked at me turning his head behind and taunted looking into my eyes. He continued with his talk to taxi driver, "maafi toh mujhe tumse maangna chahiye. Meri beti ki galti ne tumhe lockup mai daal dia."

I felt shivering in my body when dad looked at me. I’ve no words how I felt when he looked at me. I was feeling guilty, but more than guilt, there was frustration for everything that I had to suffer from last night and my parents didn’t even bothered to ask me what exactly happened last night. But I was sure that even if they haven’t asked anything in the police station, still they will ask me later. Mom was not in the mood of talking with me. I know I have disappointed them and somehow Misha and Ruhi’s facial expression told me everything.

Auto driver looked at me sadly and then he just walked out from the police station.

Dad asked inspector Shinde, “mai aab apni beti ko ghar leke jaa sakta hoon?
Inspector Shinde stood up and replied softly, “Jee haan. Aab aap apni beti ko ghar leke jaa sakte hai.
Dad shook his hand with inspector Shinde and turned behind. He wore his big black goggle and grabs my hand to take me along with him.

I couldn’t utter a single word from my mouth. I blankly stared at dad and his behavior confused me.

Car mai baitho.” Finally, dad spoke to me, but there was strictness and rudeness flashed in his voice. He simply pushed me at the door of backseat.

Mai kahin nahi jaa rahi hoon.” At last, my own voice was back. I really missed my voice as all this confusion had trolled me and I had no idea what to speak and how to speak. But this was the time, I really wanted to speak because I can’t simply go like this from Karjat. I’ve not visited other two-three tourist spots and I wanted to go there.

Misha and Ruhi were not the same anymore. They were seriously looking at me. They too had forced attitude in them and tried convincing me to sit inside the car. But I didn’t agreed.

Mom came closer to me in anger. She narrowed her eyes and under her breath she threw shocking words on my face, “Yaha police station ke saamne tamasha mat khada karo. Ghar chal ke baat karenge. Car mai baith jaao.

Tamasha?” I murmured.

Aisa kya kar dia hai maine jo aap sab itna gussa hai? Mai jaane se pehle sab batah kar gayi toh thi letter mai? Aur yeh koi pehli baar nahi hai jo mai trip pe gayi hoon. Toh fhir aaj yeh natak kis liye.” I depressively replied with tears in my eyes that were dripping on my cheeks.

 Mom clenched her teeth, pressed my hand, and shake it continuously. She responded under her breath “bahut bewakuf bana liya tumne. Aab aur nahi. Bina tamasha kiye car mai baith jaao. Ghar jaa ke baki baat karenge.

Misha whispered in my ear clenching her teeth, “Piya jada baat mat karo. Unko sab pata chal chuka hai.” I shockingly looked at Misha and then Ruhi.

Ruhi whispered but in her sugary voice, “woh na, tumhare dad, mom-” Misha interrupted Ruhi and signalled her by placing index finger on her lip and hinting to keep quite. She even blinked her eyes twice.

I knew it somehow Misha’s expression had revealed everything, but still I didn’t wanted to believe.

Dad and mom both almost forced me to sit in the car. There was no way to escape. Kabir and Angad were standing behind me. Even they came to know everything about my stupidity and I’d see disappointment and worriedness same time in Kabir and Angad’s face. But I saw Angad giving a forced smile. Whereas, Kabir busy staring in my eyes innocently and even if he didn’t speak a single word to me. Still, I managed to hear his unsaid words that were screaming about his pain, my foolishness of run away from house and the suffering that he must be feeling right now in his heart. After knowing the whole truth about my obsession of vampire that forced me to run away.

He then smiled at me and without saying anything, he left me there alone with Misha and Ruhi. Angad ran behind him. They both sit in Kabir’s jeep and vanished in front of my eyes.

For a second, I just felt bad for Kabir, as I knew he still expect that I will be his.

Mom still in the forcing process. Misha and Ruhi hinted me to sit down, as I’ve no other choice. Misha was somehow right. I really had no choice at that moment. I could run away again, but where? I hardly know anything about this place and what if I lost myself in this place? Then how will I find vampire in Karjat?

This was something serious and I agreed to sit with Misha and Ruhi at backseat. Mom and dad were sitting in front.

Dad started driving the car. There was silence in the car and no one spoke anything. The atmosphere felt like heating and I could see too many question mark sign on everyone’s face. Mom was turning her head behind in-between and looking at me, as if I would start talking about my last night’s worst experience.

I wasn’t sitting in a normal way. Misha was sitting at the left side of the window seat and Ruhi at right side of window seat. I was sitting in the middle with both the hands on my lap shaking in nervousness. My body had stiffness while sitting and my legs were shaking along with my hands.

Misha breaks the silence by starting with her first speech, “kal tumhare saath kya hua tha, Piya?” Mom again looked behind and strictness visible on her face. My jaw almost dropped on the ground, seeing mom’s horror face.

I nervously started talking when Misha took my hand in her. My body felt shivering as if cold hits against my body and throat almost felt sourness. I didn’t even had brushed or taken bath. I could smell stinky breath from my own mouth, when I opened to speak. I immediately closed my mouth. I’ve no idea how many of them could smell stinky breath from my mouth. Everyone simply gave blank reaction to me and waited for me to talk.

Dad was looking at me from his front-view mirror that faced at his side. His eyes had angriness, which I could feel while watching him through the mirror.

Speak up? Aab kya mahurat ka intezar karegi?” Misha abruptly said loudly but a slight amusement rose in her voice when she rolled her eyes and twists her neck towards me.

For a moment, my body shook in fear.

I nodded my head by passing my gaze through everyone’s face and started talking about last night incident.

First, I talked about my Karjat station experience, then conversation with Auto driver in his Auto, hotel room, that man in the reception who warned me not to go at night. Infact he is the biggest culprit. He informed police because he somehow suspected me as if I’m a criminal. That’s why police reached at the Peth Fort from where auto driver and I was arrested at 4 A.M. in the morning. I also shared my experience of Kondana caves.

At that moment, I could visualise myself in front of my eyes when I was in Peth Fort.

*Flashback*

Aa gaya Peth Qila.” Auto driver said excitedly. He started describing Peth fort as the most beautiful fort in Karjat. I stared fort from inside the auto. I couldn’t see anything more than darkness formed surrounding the fort.

I walked towards the fort that was far away from my sight. I could see tine shape of the fort. It looked like a small mountain from far away. The fort situated in hillside. I started walking on the green grass that looked dark at nighttime. As soon as I reached the fort, I had to pull my head up to look at the beauty of the dark fort. A rock solid fort generally offers a universal view at nighttime. Even if the fort surrounded with darkness, I could still say it is as beautiful as it might be at daytime, though the beauty of fort does comes with horrifying view too. Especially, if you get scared of darkness, this is not the place to visit at night. It will frown you and phobia will troll your body. It’s the most dangerous and quite place I’ve ever visited in my entire life. The danger about this place is you can view foothills as it offers universal view. It is conical shaped hilly fort at the pinnacle of the mount and placed at the backdrop of Western Ghats and if you have phobia of Ghats, then you should skip this place.

I’d notice stones on the road that was surrounded with green small trees along with green grasses.

I walked everywhere in the fort, but I couldn’t trace vampires anywhere nearby. This is such a peaceful place. I’m amazed that none vampires were visible in this fort. I gazed at every single part of this fort, but I couldn’t get a single sign of vampires in this place.

I literally fed up walking everywhere and when my energy level started decreasing, I just decided to walk out of the fort.

At that moment, I heard the siren sound. When I reached near the auto, I saw police jeep. I thought they came for patrolling in this fort. But as soon as the police inspector in his khaki uniform came out of his police jeep, he interrogated me, “Aap Piya hai?” I nod my head.

Aap ko mera naam kaise pata chala?” I confusingly asked him.
Aap ko abhi issi waqt mere saath police station chalna hoga.” He said straightforward without any argument or cross-questioning.

He even took Auto driver, along with me. It was embarrassing to sit in the police jeep with two stupid constables who were smiling and showing their stained yellow teeth to me. Both the constables were old. They were not of my grandfather’s age. But they must have crossed their fifty’s by now.

As soon as we reached police station, this inspector treated us like a criminal and forcibly took us inside the police station.

Yeh kya hai? Aap yaha iss tarah se hummein kyun leke aaye hai? Kya hum aap ko criminal nazar aate hai?” I asked frowning.

Pehle yeh batao tum yaha kis maksat se aayi ho?” Police inspector questioned sitting on the table and leg on the chair. He bends towards front and his elbow resting against his thigh.

Mai tourist hoon aur ghumne aayi hoon.” I replied firmly.

Tourist toh din mai ghumne aate hai. Raat mai nahi.” He said looking at me and then immediately he screams at his constable saying, “Ae jaa re, yala taak lockup madhe.” He pointed his hand towards auto driver and told constable in Marathi to put him in the lockup.

Auto driver pleaded that he has not done anything. Even, I tried to convince police inspector. But nothing affected him. I didn’t understand why he put him in the lockup.

Hey bagh, tu jya hotel madhe thambleli-” He looked at me, I was absolute confused as he was talking in Marathi. I interrupted him by saying that I don’t understand his language. So he translated in Hindi.
Dekho, tum jis hotel mai ruki thi. Waha se complaint aaya tha ke unko shaq hai ke kahin tum aatankwadi toh nahi ho.” My eyes almost popped out hearing his last word.

Aatankwadi?” I mumbled.

Mai aap ko aatankwadi nazar aati hoon?” I uttered those words in shock.

Aab chehre pe thodi likha hota hai ke tum aatankwadi ho ya nahi?” He spit those words on my face while rubbing his earlobe and bending forwards on his stomach. While he was talking, I noticed his voice signed like a Marathi man. Maybe he is Maharashtrian.

Saab mujhe chod doo. Maine toh kuch nahi kia. Yeh didi ne hi mujhe rupaye ka lalach deke tourist jagah pe ghumane ke liye kaha.” Auto driver pleaded joining his hands and tears were dripping from his eyes.

Rishwat?” He whispered.

Toh tumne rishwat dia iss auto driver ko?” He said angrily and screamed at constable in Marathi, “hila pan gehun jaa. Barobar chartsheet banaoto hicha badal.” Police again spoke in Marathi but when he mentioned chartsheet, I realised he was misusing his power.

Police cannot misuse their power by making fake chartsheet, until unless they have proof against the criminals.

I threatened police inspector while constable was forcing me to go inside the lockup, “tum jante nahi ho ki mai kis ki beti hoon. Tum jo yeh police wardi ka galat faida utha rahe ho, woh utar jaayegi. Yaad rakhna?” When I pointed index finger towards him, constable had already put me inside the lockup.

The police inspector laughed and said, “acha? Zara mai bhi toh jaan lu kis ki beti ho tum?” He teased.

Arnab Dobriyal naam suna hai?” I asked widening my eyes and clenching my teeth while pointing forefinger towards inspector.

Wahi Arnab Dobriyal jo Dobriyal empires ka maalik hai?” I sighed nodding my head, when he asked in a confirmed tone.

Kya sabut hai ke tum unki beti ho?” He narrowed his eyes and shook his head in disbeliefs.

Mai Piya Dobriyal hoon. Arnab Dobriyal aur Madhu Dobriyal ki beti.” I yelled.

Yeh koi sabut nahi hua. Mujhe sabut chahiye.” He blunted those words by widening his eyes and shaking his fingers while walking towards the lockup.

For a moment, I got scared. I can give them the number, but then dad don’t knows yet that I’m not at home. At this time, they might be sleeping. But I gave mom’s number. Because mom always switchoff her phone and sleeps. So that she should not wake up due to mobile disturbance.

Police inspector tried her number, but it was coming switchedoff. He told constable to get me out from the lockup. I was relieved, I thought I can go now. I was about to walk towards the door, but that inspector stopped me and told he has not given permission to leave the police station.

He continuously asked me dad’s number. But I refused. He told constable to slap and hurt auto driver until I give the number. I could hear auto driver’s scream. That constable was beating him abruptly and the wounds on his face were visible. The constable beat him with a stick on his hand, then on leg, then on thigh, on his arms. It was unbearable to hear his screaming voice. He was crying and his pain was hurting me. My chest thud continuously.

Bas.” I screamed by placing my hands in my ears and closing my eyes. I agreed to give the number but I put condition that he should not call my dad before 9 A.M. in the morning.

He asked me the reason, I told him it’s personal. He agreed to wait.

It was still 5 A.M. in the morning and they must be sleeping

I had no choice except waiting until 9 A.M. Still, tears were dripping on my cheeks. I felt unbearable pain inside my chest, as if I would faint now. I’d see auto driver who got arrested because of me and police inspector didn’t left him, even when I pleaded for him.

Meantime, police inspector and constables were busy with their own work and all I’d was waiting for time to pass. I was still sitting on the bench and waiting to talk with my parents.

Till 9 A.M. I was continuously crying remembering my parents, my best friends Misha, Ruhi, Kabir and Angad. I wish I could call any of them, but I didn’t wanted to disturb them at this time.

I didn’t even got chance to visit any other places and neither I got chance to see any vampires. All my hard work simply went in vain. It was painful even to think that I’m losing hope and all I’d to was to wait for my family.

*Flashback Ends*

Two Days Later In Train…

Aunty ji kya aap mujhe batah sakte hai yeh train ka last station kaunsa hai?” I asked to the wheatish-skin woman sitting opposite to me in train. She looked like a working woman. Her hands filled with four plastic bags and black leather office bag lay on her lap. She wore the mixture of red and yellow Kanjivaram silk saree, the embroidery on her saree looked like a hand-made, along with the red half-sleeve blouse that too has embroidery.

She didn’t utter a single word and stared at me in confusion. I felt embarrassing because I’ve no idea where I’m going.

All I know is, I’ve to hide myself from my dad and police who are behind me. I’ve again ran from my house, but this time for other reason.

My mom had forced me to marry Kabir, when I refused she locked me in my room and treated me like a caged bird. This time, dad gave full support to her. When I came to know that Kabir had no problem to marry me, all of sudden Misha, Ruhi and Angad were supporting my parents. Therefore, I had no other choice, except running from my house.

But this time running from house was not easy. Because I’ve nothing in my hand, this was not planned by me. Everything happened so sudden that I had no time to plan and run. I don’t even have mobile, Mumbai map or anything that will keep me safe and connected me with my family. I don’t even have money and neither I buyed ticket for travelling from train.

My dad and police, everyone is searching me and I’ve no idea where I’m going. I’ve left everything on my destiny, maybe my destiny will show me the right path.

I stared outside the window, the train was running faster, everything outside was dark and blurred for my eyes. Finally, I saw light that was coming from bit closer. As soon as train reached to that light, I could see platform and many crowds that were waiting for train to stop. I saw the white kite-shape board, in which Kalyan name was visible. At that same time, the wheatish woman who was sitting opposite to me, stood up and started walking. As soon as she passed my way, she whispered without looking at me, “Last station Titwala

Somehow, I felt she gave me a hint that this train is Titwala local. I never visited that place before. I’ve heard that this is kind of holy place. I mean many people come to this place for worshipping God Ganesha. I’m strong believer of God Ganpati and now only my Ganpati is the last hope who will save me from this marriage crap. I’ve no interest in Kabir, he knows that, still he wants to marry me and my parents have given full support to him.

Maybe that is why destiny chooses this place for me, because this is the place of God Ganesha, whom I believe to be my strong supporter. He always listen my prayer and has given everything that I wanted.

As soon as that woman and some other ladies walked out of the compartment. I saw a rush of woman's who were pushing each other to enter inside. I never saw such rush at night ten p.m. The woman's in the crowd were whispering to each other, walked inside, and sat on different benches.

I was getting impatient and bit worried as the train was moving slowly, instead of going fast. The two wheatish-skin woman’s sitting beside me were giggling and talking to each other.

One of them wore green saree; she asked me, “tumhi kuthe utarnar aaheit?” I narrowed my eyes and confusingly stared at her.

“Sorry. Mujhe Marathi nahi aata hai.” I said softly.
That woman laughed and replied, “Aap kaha utarne wale hai?”
“Las-Last station.” I stuttered.
“Oh Titwala?” She questioned. I nodded and remained mum.

One-by-one woman's walked out of the compartment as their stations arrived.

Since now, it was slow train and as soon as Titwala arrives, I got down from the train. But I placed white dupatta of my white Anarkali dress, on my head and covered my face under dupatta. Now only my eyes were visible, everything else hidden. I had doubt that my dad anyhow would find me. The platform was crowded, it was ten-thirty p.m. at night and platform was full with crowd.

I was about to step out of the station, when I felt a hard touch of someone’s hand on my shoulder at back. I nervously turned behind. It was TC in his dark uniform and cap on head. He said to show the ticket. I unwrapped my dupatta from face and sadly replied, “Ticket toh mere paas nahi hai.

Aap chaliye mere saath abhi.” TC said in his strict electrical voice.

I rolled my eyes from left to right, everybody on the platform stared at me, giving a blank expression. I embarrassingly put my head down and walked with TC. He took me in his office.

Aap ko pata hai na bina ticket ke train se travel karna crime hai?” TC said again in his electrical voice by pushing his hands on his table and with a bended position, he stood near his chair. His dark eyes stared at me and waited for my answer.

I was already so much nervous that my throat failed to respond. I played with my fingers while standing in front of him and my dark eyes were not ready to meet his dark eyes.

Mai aap ke jawab ka intezar kar raha hoon. Aap ko pata tha ya nahi?” His electrical voice commanded me to answer in yes or no. I nodded my head and hinted him my answer is yes.

Toh aap ne ticket kharida kyun nahi?” He paused, waiting for my reply.
I hold my breathe and shook my head in response as well as nervously I replied, “Kyunki mai apna bag ghar bhul aayi hoon.
He wasn’t ready to listen my excuse. He forced me to pay penalty, when I refused, he asked to give my dad’s number. I’d no choice, distracted him, and ran from his office. He screamed, “Ruko… Ruko.

But, I didn’t stopped. He sends his three mans behind me. I just didn’t looked at them and kept running, until I found one auto standing in a row, outside the station. I just sat in the auto and told him to keep on driving.

I saw one auto following me. I was scared, I could feel sweat wrestling on my forehead. Auto driver asked me where I wanted to go. But, I had no idea, I simply told him to drive. I just wanted to dodge those three mans.

Auto driver unfortunately took the forest-side road. I could see too many big trees surrounded by the road. As I turned behind to see auto that was following me, to my surprise auto took a reverse and vanished in front of my eyesight.

I exhaled as now the whole road was empty, except my auto, nothing else I could see on the road. I again breathe out in relaxation. For a moment, I felt like it was my first time when I really felt happy for dodging the auto. But, I’m still unsure whether the effect of auto’s disappearance was because of my dodging or probably some other reason.

Auto driver again asked me where I want to go. I saw road again, it was gloomy outside, no moon or stars were visible up on the dark sky. I didn’t had money to give this auto driver. So I just told him to drive the auto straight in same direction.

Since this is the forest area, auto driver told me scarily, “yeh sunn-saan raasta raat ke samay kafi darawna hota hai.” His voice alarmed horror.
I laughed and asked, “Kyun bhaishaab? Raat ke waqt yaha sher aate hai kya?” He shockingly stared at me, at the end of my talk.

Aap yaha pehle bhi aaye hai?” He asked confusingly.
Nahi toh.” I replied promptly
Toh aap ko kaise pata ke yaha raat ke waqt sher ko dekha gaya hai?” I widened my eyes when he revealed about tiger.

Kya?” I asked in disbelief. My eyes were as widened as before. I just had said about the tiger in fluke, but didn't knew that it exist here.
Haan. Isliye toh yaha raat ko 10 baje ke baad koi nahi aata hai.” He spit those words on my face, while looking behind at me but his voice had a sign of panic.
Toh bhaishaab aap iss raaste se kyun aaye?” I scarily asked.
Galti se yeh raasta pakda maine. Isliye toh aap ko kab se puch raha hoon ke aap ko kaha jana hai?” He nervously replied. But as soon as he finished his talk, he abruptly put break to his auto.

Kya hua?” I asked staring at his body motion while pulling hand brake.
Lagta hai kuch gadbad hai. Abhi aata hoon.” He uttered while moving out from his seat. His body motion shook while going behind to check. I heard some cracking voice of the door as if he was opening something.

Madam, petrol khatam ho gaya hai. Aap ko yahi pe utarna hoga.” He said in apologizing tone.
Yaha?” I shook my head and continued, “ya-yaha mai kaise utar sakti hoon? Aap ne kaha tha yaha sher hai, toh?” I was sweating a lot and I could feel nervousness in my own voice.

Haan. Par aur koi chara bhi nahi hai. Aap ko yaha se chal ke jana hoga. Iss waqt aap ko auto bhi nahi milega.” By saying this, he left me there alone and he pushed his auto with his hand, while walking in a reverse way.

I continued my walking with a hope that atleast I may find any vehicle on the road. But there was none. I walked for thirty minutes, but this forest road didn’t come to an end.

At that moment, I heard someone giggling. As I turned behind, a flash of headlight made my eyes blurred and I was not able to open my eyes properly. I hide my eyes with one-hand and heard the sound of engine.

Aap ko kahin chod du?” I head a male teasing voice. I slowly brought my hand down and opened my eyes to see that male.

Five young boys sitting in the jeep with the beer in their hands. For a moment, I thought they came on this road as a hope for me. But, I was wrong. They were kind-of, “Amir baap ke bigde hue aulad.” One of them hopped out of their jeep and came closer. His mouth had a smell of beer, which he again took a sip and said in a drunken voice, “chaliye aap ko kahin chod du?” His stinky breath unknowingly rubbed on my face.
No thanks.” I said arrogantly by closing my mouth with one-hand.
Another boy smirk and said, “arey tum itna bhav kyun kha rahi ho? Yeh jungle wala raasta hai. Jungli sher ghumte hai yaha. Tumko ghar chod denge kaha na?” He pulled my hand forced me to sit in his jeep.

All other three boys, included the boy sitting in the driver seat also came closer circling me and grinning towards me. They were wearing casual shirts and pants. However, their faces were kind-of villains.

Chalo, hamare saath chalo? Hum lift denge.” They teased in chorus. The boy who pulled my hand in force, I just took advantage of their eyes that glued on my eyes. I just distracted them by looking at their behind, as if someone was standing behind them. As soon as they turned to look behind, I just bite that boy’s hand with my white strong teeth and he screams, “Aah!” leaving my hand from his fist and shakes his bitten hand.

"Saali" I heard the boy screaming by shaking his bitten hand.
I just ran away from them and they started running behind me. I started panting while running on that forest-side road. I failed to dodge them, as they were still running behind me. I placed my hand on the stomach as it was aching and lungs missed the air. The beat of my heart was running faster than me, as if my heart wanted to jump off my throat. My hands and legs were getting weaker; I couldn’t breathe anymore and had to stop somewhere. I saw a big tree at the left side, where I ran and hide myself.

Iss ladki ko chodna mat, Vivek.” I heard someone saying that. I closed my mouth so that I don’t keep on panting. I hold my breath for a while until I could get success in dodging them. I could see the backside of five boys. Their heads were moving from left to right. They were searching me.

Chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye, mai uss ladki ko chodunga nahi.” The boy whose hand I bit said those words angrily by clenching his fingers on his fist.

Vivek, hum yaha jada der tak nahi ruk sakte hai.” The middle boy said that frustratedly.

Tum ko jana hai toh jaao, Satish. Iss ladki ko sabak sikhaye bina nahi jaaunga mai yaha se.” The boy whose hand I bit, I guess his name must be Vivek as other boy took his name while looking and talking to him.

Tum dono waha dhundo uss ladki ko.” Vivek said by giving instruction in a louder tone.
Jungle mai? Khatra hai, Vivek.” The last boy at the right side corner replied.
Khatra toh hai, Amit. Par uss ladki ko sabak sikhaye bina nahi jaaunga.” Vivek warned.

I thought these boys would not go from here. So I’d a trick. I gazed at stones under my sandal. I just took one of those hard small stone and threw that at other direction, so that I could get more time to get out from this place.

As soon as those five boys heard stone sound, four of them went running towards same direction. But fifth boy, Vivek was still standing in front of me showing his back. But when I saw him turning behind, his eyes started searching something towards my way.

I saw him coming slowly towards my way. I started going behind, so that he shouldn’t find me.

His legs kept on moving in front and my legs were moving backward at the same time. I kept on moving until I hurted my back against the wood of one big tree, which was deep inside the forest. I’d no idea how I simply stomped inside this forest.

I met a flash of icy blue eyes that were twinkling in darkness. Those icy blue eyes started moving in front of me, I was so scared of those eyes that I kept on moving back.

I couldn’t see anything else in that gloomy forest, except those twinkling icy blue eyes that glued on me.

In just a second, I saw the skin of his nose, big and thick. That’s wasn’t a human skin. It was an animal skin. I started getting scared looking at that skin. I again stepped behind and those eyes, nose kept moving in front. I heard someone breathing louder, as if someone is roaring.

The sweat was non-stop rolling on my face and my lip turned dry. My hands and legs were shaking. I halted my body, which was shaking too, and my head stuck on the wood of the tree.

From that darkness, I saw big broad mouth being open, along with his two big teeth's at the corner and at bottom. The shadow slowly getting invisible as the face came in front of my eyes. My eyes and mouth widely opened in scared. It was none other than the tiger.

The auto driver was right, in the forest of Titwala, tiger really exist and it is not a rumour, which I thought. I came face-to-face in front of tiger.

I screamed for help and immediately in a few seconds, I saw those five evilly boys coming in front of me. They teased, but their eyes didn’t meet with Tiger.

I hinted them with my eyes to look in front. Vivek grinned, “Aankhen kya ghuma rahi ho? Aab kaha jaaogi bach ke?” He smirked.
I couldn’t hear my own voice. I was so frightened seeing tiger, that I felt I lost my voice. My throat wasn’t responding, my head still stuck on the wood, as if I’m statue. The only thing I could feel that was moving in motion was my own eyes. My hands and legs were still shaking.

I thought this is the end of my life and this tiger will kill me. The tiger roared looking at those five boys. Those boys got so scared that they started running from my way. I wanted to ask help, but I couldn’t. Tiger pounced on one of them and killed him in front of my eyes. I couldn’t do anything, except watching tiger eating his skin. His body bleeded and bloods were spreaded everywhere on the ground. The green grass turned bloody grass.

Other four I thought got success in running from the tiger. But that wasn’t true. Tiger killed all four of them one-by-one. Everything happened in front of me, but I couldn’t do anything, except watching and whining. I could feel tears in my eyes that jumped off on the cheeks, nose and on my lip.

After killing them, tiger came back to me, kept on watching me, roaring at me and I couldn’t do anything to escape, as if my body wasn’t willing to escape. My body already lost the sensation. I couldn’t feel my own soul and everything in front of me became blurred due to the tears that were swimming in my eyes.

I opened my mouth in a hope that I can ask for help. Luckily, my throat responded. I screamed loudly for help and the echo of my own voice, I could hear in my ears in this huge deep forest.

Tiger roared and walked slowly in front of me.

Tera intezaar
Karoon mere yaar
Mujhe pyaar se
Kabhi toh pukaar
Tera naam le
Yeh dil baar-baar
Mujhe pyaar se
Kabhi toh pukaar.” I heard someone singing this song melodiously in darkness.

Tiger stared at darkness in the direction from where that song was hearable. I saw peace on tiger’s face. That song was relaxing him.

I kept staring at darkness from where that voice was coming.

Kya dhoop kya ghatayein
Kya dhool kya hai shabnam
Tere liye bhula doon
Ek saath saare mausam

Tu jo ishara kar de
Shaam-e-gulaab kar doon
Dil roo pade khushi se
Main itna pyaar bhar doon

Aaye toh phir na jaaye
Main hoon woh bahaar.” The male voice continued with the song. Still I couldn’t see that person’s face.

At the same time, when I glanced at tiger, he slowly sat down on his feet and placed his head on his feet. His eyes were blinking and being narrowed.

I surprisingly continued staring at darkness with the hands at the back of the wood.

Tera intezaar
Karoon mere yaar
Mujhe pyar se
Kabhi toh pukaar.

Tera naam le
Yeh dil baar-baar
Mujhe pyar se
Kabhi toh pukaar…” As the male voice ended singing, I saw a pair of icy blue eyes coming in front through the darkness. When I saw same color eyes, I got scared. I thought it would be a partner of tiger. I still sweated continuously.

I’d no idea, why I couldn’t move myself from that forest. Especially when one tiger is sitting down resting his head against his skinny feet and another one coming from darkness.

I struggled myself to shake my body and move from that place. But, before I could move, I saw tiger standing on his hind legs. I was shocked to see him when his eyes glued at the pair of icy blue eyes.

Those eyes kept on moving in front and I could see pink male full-lips that were watery. It wasn’t a tiger, that lips belongs to the human. I saw a dark tall figure in front of me, as soon as the figure came closer to me, my heartbeat pumped faster. Before, I could faint by heart attack, my arms were held by that man. He held me in his arms and didn’t allowed me to fall on the ground that were filled with dry grasses, stones and muds.

His strong muscle protected me and gave me shelter. I stared in his icy blue eyes that were deep, innocent and hypnotic. For a moment, I felt that I’ve found my vampire, but I was wrong, because his hands wrapped around my arms that were warm, not the cold ones.
Vampires are cold monster, not hot monster, atleast that is what I found in the movies, novels, serials, though I’m not a big fan of novels, but movies, serials, definitely indicates the samething. They are living dead so they cannot be warmer. Infact, warmness can only be found in wolves.
Does that mean he is a wolf?

Tum theek ho?” I heard his strong voice in my ear.

I simply nod my head, still looking into his deep icy blue eyes. It was hard to take my eyes off from his. I saw his oval face that was pale white, clean shaved and soft skin like girls.

He just threw me from his arms, the back of my head stuck on the wood of the tree. I saw concerned in his eyes, but that was not for me, it was for the tiger, that was still standing on hind legs.

That tall young boy hugged tiger and in a concerned voice, he said, “tumhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha. Itne ladko ko ek-ek kar ke kyun maara?” He smirked while closing his eyes and continued his talk, “eksath maarna chahiye tha.

I shockingly stared at him. I couldn’t believe that boy was encouraging tiger to kill those boys in one-go. That tiger patted on the boy’s head with his paw and narrowed his eyes. I saw a very friendly relation between the tiger and the boy.

Tum pagal ho?” I couldn’t believe I actually spit those words on him. He actually saved me from the tiger and saved from falling on the stones. Still, I called him mad. But, I couldn’t resist when he encouraged tiger to kill in one-go.

He quickly opened his eyes and angrily looked at me.

Tum iss sher ko eksath maarne ke liye kyun uksa rahe ho?” I angrily raised my voice pointing my forefinger towards the tiger.

Pehli baat, woh sher nahi, sherni hai. Dusri baat tumhe sherni ka ehsan maana chahiye ussne tumhe unn ladko se bachaya.” He smirked while glancing at his middle-finger and continued, “yeh alag baat hai ke ussne tumhe apne swarth ke liye bachaya.” He again smirked but arrogance rose in his voice.

Apne swarth ke liye?” I interrogated narrowing my eyes.
Haan. Tumhe khana uska apna swarth hi toh tha.” He grinned and gave an arrogant attitude on his face by twisting his head towards another side and placing his one hand inside his pocket.
I asked confusingly, “Tumne unn ladko ko mere paas aate hue dekha tha?” He nods his head without uttering a single word from his mouth and crossed his hands at his back.

Maine unn ladko ko tumhe chedte hue bhi dekha tha aur yaha tumhara picha karte hue bhi dekha tha.” He angrily clenches his teeth while poking those words towards my face. I saw a flash of hatred on his face when he talked about those boys.

Toh tumne mujhe bachaya kyun nahi?” I asked possessively, but my eyes still glued on his icy blue eyes.

Tum bahut sawal karti ho. Kya itna kafi nahi hai ke tum zinda ho?” He spit those words as if poking in my heart. I could see frustration lying on his face, but I couldn’t comprehend those frustration was because of me or for me.

At that moment, I noticed his grey casual shirt with forearm-sized sleeves and blue loosed pant.

He slowly walked towards me; the innocence on his face, weaken me in his arms as I was about to tripped while looking at his beautiful face that had perfect small nose, full pink lips, deep icy blue eyes, thick eyebrows and soft silky short hair.
He again held me in his arms. We both looked into each other’s eyes. My one hand resting against his broad covered chest and another on his shoulder, whereas he grabbed me around my lower waist. He looked so handsome that I almost forgot myself and to thank him for saving me from tigress.

But, before I could say anything, he complaint as if reading my thoughts, “mujhe lagta hai aab tak toh maine tumhe teen baar bachaya hoga. Par tumne ek baar bhi thanks nahi kaha.” He leaned down on my face and unknowingly left the mark of his sweet warm breath.

I laughed and pat on my head, “Thanks. Haan sahi kaha tumne teen baar bachaya mujhe, isliye teen baar thanks, thanks, thanks.” I comedily voiced.

Yeh toh chaar baar thanks hua.” He widened his eyes while staring closer in my eyes and continued, “Lagta hai ek aur baar tumhe bachana hoga tumhari aakhri thanks wala udhar chukane ke liye.” He grinned at the end.

I blushed when he said the last line. I almost felt like I was flying in the sky and not willing to come down.

I heard the roaring sound again. Tigress looked at me in anger. Her broad mouth willing to pounce on me, maybe to bite me. But, that boy stood in-between us.

He took me at his back and willing to face anger of tigress alone. I hold under his arms tightly from back and looked down at tigress from above his shoulder.

Tera intezaar
Karoon mere yaar
Mujhe pyaar se
Kabhi toh pukaar
Tera naam le
Yeh dil baar-baar
Mujhe pyaar se
Kabhi toh pukaar.” He again sang the song and the sweetness showered in his voice. As soon as he sang those lines, I could see calmness on tigress face. She sat down on her feet and laid her head by blinking and narrowing her eyes.

Tumhara yeh gana gaate hi yeh sherni shant kaise ho jati hai?” I confusingly asked narrowing my eyes. He laughed showing his pale white teeth.

Yeh gana usse pasand hai.” The boy replied innocently.

Par yehi gana kyun?” I frustratedly asked.

Kyunki usse bhi kisi ka intezar hai. Aur yeh gana usse yaad dilata hai ki woh akeli hai. Isliye woh udaas hoke shant ho jati hai.” I could feel pain in his voice when his eyes were not willing to meet mine and he hides his feelings under his smirk.

I raised my eyes and asked, “Usse bhi? Matlab? Kisi aur ko bhi hai kisi ka intezar?” He groaned and didn’t utter anything.

Batao please?” I pleaded.
Tum bahut sawal karti ho.” He complaint raising his arrogant voice and continued, “chalo tumhe chod du, isse pehle sherni tumhe apna shikar bana de, mai tumhe jungle ke bahar chod deta hoon.

He pulls my hand and holds tightly under his fist. I slap on his hand with my free hand and pulled my hand from his grip. I said angrily, “Tum jab tak mere sawal ka jawab nahi dooge. Mai yaha se kahin nahi jaaungi.

Tumhe daar nahi lagta hai? Agar woh sherni aa gayi aur tumhe maar dia toh?” He responded possessively.

Tumne aab tak chaar baar bacha liya mujhe. Toh fhir daar kis baat ka?” I uttered in such a way as if I already knew he would save me again.

Though, he is a stranger to me, still we behaved in such a way to each other as if we both own rights on each other. Moreover, I couldn’t understand that sudden attraction towards him. Though, I hate wolves, but don’t know why I feel that he is not a wolf, infact he is the same person that I always wanted to be with. I didn’t felt that he was stranger to me. He too behaved as if he already knows that I’ll come to him. I’ve seen so many of my questions already answered in his deep icy blue eyes.

Eventually, I was confused when looking into his eyes, but on the other side, I felt a strong connection with him that forced me to question my own destiny, still my heart have faith in him.

Phew! Again very big chapter. This is one of the best chapter I wrote so far. The most important Abhiya are choosen by destiny and met co-incidently. So do you believe in destiny? If yes, then enjoy this part.
