Recap: Bringing him to her home - Meeting her family- Locking him inside the room.

He was walking here and there in the room. He was totally fed up with that girl. He decided that the moment she open the room, he will break her legs. He gritted his teeth and was cursing her.

What kind of a girl is she? I don't think she is a girl. May be some rare creation of God...he thought.

Almost one hour he spent in that room alone. It was then the room slightly opened and her head is shown. He prepared himself for an encounter. She was slowly entering into the room when he throw a vase on her. It directly hit on her head and the plate she was carrying fall on the floor along with the food in it. She fall on floor.

"Ahhh.."she screamed.
He smirked.
"You idiot... what have you done? Wait..I am going to kill you.."she was about to stood up when her eyes met the shattered food on floor.
She looked at him angrily and her eyes welled up.
"Hey jerk..see you ruined the food I prepared for you.. Idiot..why are you showing your anger on food...do you know how precious it is?" She asked.

He looked at her eyes and he understood that she is damn serious. It was not the girl whom he met just a few hours ago. He looked at the food on floor. She started cleaning it while her other hand is rubbing her head where the vase hit.

"I am sorry..."he said with guilt
"You and your Sorry... go to hell...you deserve to be dead only..you are not supposed to live especially when you don't know the value of food which god blessed us with..do you Know how many people in our country are struggling to get a Little food for them to survive?"she asked glaring at him.

He was frozen for a moment. Her words directly pierced his heart. Because once he was also one among those people who struggled to fill his stomach. He remembered those days and immediately a tear fall down from his eyes. She took the plate and went outside not before giving him a killing look. He was dumbstruck.

After a few minutes her Dadu came into the room and hold his shoulders.
"Don't worry..she is a poor girl..she don't like anyone insulting food.."Her Dadu said.
He smiled.

"Dadu...did you take your medicines? Don't say your usual lines that I forgot beti, sorry...If you tell it again, surely I will throw you out from the terrace..you will be awesome when you lose the remaining teeth in your mouth"She shouted from kitchen.

Hearing her words he forgot everything and laughed hardly.
"No this time I took it before you remember.."Her Dadu said.
"Good for you.."she said.

"Come on young man...let's have breakfast"Dadu said while walking with him.
He was very hungry. So he decided to eat something. They took seats on the small dining table. That was when she came out from kitchen. Seeing him she shoot draggers at him. He couldn't help but lowered his eyes. She came to the table and placed the bowls on it by making huge sound. He was shocked for a moment. Then saw her Dadu eating without minding it. He understood that he is used to it.

"Malu.. when would you finish your homework? Dont you want breakfast?" She yelled.
"Coming.."her sister replied and took a seat at the table.

He was about to take a plate when she stopped him.
"You don't have food here..you should have remember when you ruin the food I brought for you.."she said seriously.
And it hurted him. He was about to stand up when her hands again stopped him and forcely made him sit. He was wondered.
"I don't know to insult people infront of food..It's my duty to serve a man who is hungry.."She said while serving him food.

He was shocked. How did she know that he is hungry. He ate quietly.
"Ram bhai..why are you trying to die?" It's Malu who asked .
"Malu..eat silently.. don't speak while having food..."Meenakshi said and everyone became silent.

After breakfast, Meenakshi and Dadu gathered around Abhiram and started insisting him to tell his story. Malavika was watching TV.

"Actually I have no such story. I was..."Abhi stammered.
"Then?? We're you trying to die for a time pass?? It's strange..."Meenakshi exclaimed.

Abhiram gave her a look and started thinking of a story to convince them. Suddenly his attention moved towards the TV screen where Titanic is playing. It was the scene when hero was about to die after rescuing the heroine. His brain worked and strikes an idea. He smirked.

"I had only her... she was my life...my love..My first and last love.  I lost her in the same sea...so I decided to end my life in the same sea." He said faking a sad expression. He started sobbing. From the corner of his eyes he noticed Meenakshi and Dadu listening to him anxiously.

"Who was she?" Dadu asked.
"My love. She was my girlfriend..we were about to marry within a week..but fate took her away from me before she became mine. I am an orphan..I don't have anyone except her. Why should I live even after losing one and only relation in my life?"he said wiping his non existing tears.

"What was her name?" Meenakshi asked
"Rose..no..Rohini..she was my everything."he said biting his lips.

"So sad."Meenakshi was literally in tears hearing his story.
"Do you Know why did I come with you? You look like my Rohini..For a second I thought you are my Rohini when I saw you for the first time.. that's why I decided to rethink about my decision."he added.

"How did your Rohini die?" Dadu asked.
"She was playing in beach. Suddenly a wave took her into the sea when I went to buy ice cream for us. When I returned back, I could only see her body having no life. I was shattered completely. I didn't have anyone other than her. She was a good girl." He covered his face with both his hands and started fake crying.

He looked up hearing a sobbing sound only to see both Dadu and Meenakshi crying badly. He felt sad for a moment.

"We are really sorry for you...I know you are already shattered.. Dont be angry for my behavior."Meenakshi said.

He stared at her with wonder in his eyes. This girl is really amazing. He thought.
"I think I should go now."Abhi said.
"Pls don't die..you should live for your Rohini. Her soul will be only happy if you decide to live your life. You said that I look like Rohini. Pls think this as your Rohini's words."Meenakshi said.

He was shocked. He didn't think that his lie will be having such an effect on her.
"I won't die.. Promise..."he said honestly.
"Thank God.."Dadu said in relief.
Meenakshi smiled at him.

"Do you have a job?"Dadu asked
"I had a job..now I resigned after I lost Rohini." He replied.
"You can stay here till you get a job."Dadu said
"Thanks..But I need to go.."he said
"But..."Meenakshi was about to say when Abhi stopped her.
"I won't die.. it's my promise"Abhi said.
"If you really want to go, then pls wait ...I will drop you on my way to office."Meenakshi said and he nodded.
*****
"Can you pls reduce the speed?" He asked sitting on the back seat of her scooter. It was really an adventurous journey for him since she is already late. And she have some other plans too which was unknown to him.

"Are you afraid of speed? I can't believe this. The man who was trying to commit suicide last day is afraid of speed."she laughed and he was irritated.
"Pls stop..it's better I take a taxi to reach my home"he said.

She again laughed.
"Do you know how much it will cost to take a taxi to your home? Believe me you won't afford it. We are now very far from the place from where I took you. And I don't think an orphan like you have so much money with you.."she said.

He realized what she said. He is an orphan and poor infront of her. He decided to continue the drama since he don't want anyone to know his identity.. especially this girl.

"By the way where are you living?"she asked.
"I was living with one of my friend. Actually he was paying my rent too. And it didn't take so much amount for my food and other essentials."he said.
"What was you doing? I mean your job.."she asked
"I lost it.. already told you"he said
"Oh sorry..I forgot.. btw you said that you resigned and now you are saying you lost your job.."she asked confusingly.
"If you remember it , then why are you saying that you forgot it?" He asked loudly.
"Actually I.."she was cut by his shout.
"Stop this..can you pls stop the scooter here so that I can walk?"he shouted. He dont want to extend the conversation since he hate lies and liers.
"What if I slid the scooter now?"she asked funnily making him scare.
He looked at his left side and saw a river. He became scared.
"Pls don't do it..Pls.."he requested.
"Believe me. It will be fun.."she said while laughing.
"Are you mad?"he asked.
"If you talk again, I will definitely throw you in the river. Loose talker." She scolded him while he became dumbstruck.

After 15 minutes of travelling, she stopped her scooty infront of a huge building. He read the name board as Office of Superintendent of police. He was frightened and looked at her who is parking her vehicle calmly.

"Are you working here?" He asked.
"No..I am here to surrender to police."she said in a serious tone.
"What have you done?"he asked shockingly.
"I had killed someone. I was hiding his deadbody yesterday in the beach when I met you."she said and he was shocked more and more. Seeing it she bursted into laugh. He was wondered seeing her laughing.

"Arey I am here to give a complaint. Didnt I tell you about Radha Akka?" She asked and he nodded in relief.
He hesitated to walk with her. But she hold his hand.
"Don't touch me.."he shouted.
"If you don't stop talking, I will report about your suicide attempt now at this moment. Do you Know that According to IPC Section 000 suicide is a crime which can gain up to death sentence?"she said as if she is a lawyer.

He hold his head and walked along with her silently. She stopped infront of a police guard who is standing with a big gun.
"Hai uncle, can I meet SP sir?" She asked and the guard shoot draggers at her. Abhi was shocked.
"Do you have an appointment?"guard asked.
"No..we are common people and we don't need any appointments to meet officials who are supposed to protect us."she said.

Abhi moved one step back so that he can now run easily if everything goes out of hand.

The guard gave her a glare.
"This is not a market for you to argue."The guard said seriously.
"Oh really..? I thought this is a market and I was looking for a shop where I can get some fish. Thanks for your valuable information" Meenakshi was not in a mood to step back and it's not in her blood.
Abhi was really scared because he knows well that he will have to pay equal for her blunders. She is holding his hand and not allowing him to move.

"SP sir is busy now..you can't meet him unless you have an appointment. So don't waste my time. Go back."The guard shouted.
"Let's go now.."Abhi whispered in her ears. She started thinking and winked at Abhi. He rolled his eyes.

"We are special guest for SP Sir. Do you know who is this handsome young man?" Meenakshi said wrapping her arms around Abhi's shoulders and he was shocked.

"Whoever he is you can't meet SP Sir now.."guard yelled.
"Arey listen first...he is the future son in law of your so called SP sir..he is deeply and madly in love with his daughter. We are here to discuss some personal matters."Meenakshi said giving a believing look.

Abhi looked at her with an opened mouth and the guard was also shocked.
"Why didn't you tell this earlier madam? Don't badmouth me infront of sir. Pls I am a poor police man. Pls madam.."guard requested And Meenakshi gave him a winning smile. Abhi couldn't understand what is happening infront of him. He still remained shocked. He realized that this girl is going to become his death.

"Can we meet SP Uncle now?" She asked and the guard nodded with a smile.
She was dragging an half dead Abhi inside the room when the guard stopped them once again.
"By the way who are you madam?" He asked.
"I am the wife of your SP Sir's future son in law."she said while running inside with him.
It took a few seconds for the guard to realize what she said. She was inside SP's room within this time. Abhi was looking at her confused. She didnt stop her giggling even now.

"Who are you?" A man in police uniform asked her maintaining the serious expression on his face. He was sitting on his chair and table with a name board "Mr.Raj Kumar, SP of Police". Abhi noticed it and give a respect look.
"Common people.."she said loudly for which Abhi kicked on her foot. She glared at him.
"Ok common people..you can sit here."SP said pointing to the chairs infront of him.

Meenakshi immediately sat on the chair while Abhi hesitated for a moment.
"Are you planning to stand there?" She asked and he took a seat beside her. SP gave them both a weird look.

"Now tell me. What's your problem?" He asked looking at both of them.
"Sir we are here to give a complaint which requires an immediate action. It's the matter of a life ."she said in a sad tone.
"Whose life?" SP asked.
"I have a neighbor. Her name is Radha Akka.."she said.
"Radha akka??"SP rolled his eyes at her.
"I mean Radha. She married a man without her parents permission. After that she left with that man and her parents forgot her. After marriage her husband's family started ill treating her. Her husband beat her everyday after drinking. You should do something urgent. Pls save her. We should arrest those bas***ds.."she said and both the men opened their mouth.

"You are so smart girl..ok we should take an immediate action for this."SP said.

Meenakshi excited. Abhi confused.
"Yeah..let's go now."she said.
SP confused for a moment.
"You mean now??"He asked
"Yes sir. We would save her now..at this moment. She will be thankful to you."Meenakshi said.
"Ok then we can go now."SP stood up.

Abhi was shocked. Meenakshi jumped in happiness. They walked outside when the same guard saluted his senior officer. Meenakshi winked at him.

Its been 9:30 am when they reached the place along with police force. Abhi was really scared whereas Meenakshi was excited. They went to a small house where Radha Akka is living along with her husband's family. Meenakshi rang the calling bell. A woman in her early 30's opened the door and scared seeing the police force.

"Are you Mrs.Radha?" SP asked her.
"Yes.. Meenakshi what is this?" The woman asked with confusion.
Meenakshi came forward and hugged Radha. She kissed her.
"Radha Akka..your all problems are gonna solve today. See.. This is our beloved SP sir.. don't ask me name..I don't know.."Meenakshi said
"I have a name ..Raj Kumar.." SP said.
"Nice name..but I will only call you Kumar..nice ah??" Meenakshi said.
"It's my father's name..."SP shouted.
"So what?" Meenakshi asked.
Abhi felt pity.
"Meenakshi.. what's this?" Radha asked with a serious face.
"Listen.. Kumar Sir is here to arrest your cruel husband. Your all problem will be solved today. You would be saved."Meenakshi said and the next moment Radha slapped her. Meenakshi bit her lips.

"Who are you to give complaint against my husband?" She shouted at Meenakshi.

SP was shocked. Abhi too.
"If this woman has no complaint, why did you waste my time?" SP shouted.

"Let's escape."Meenakshi whispered in Abhi's ear and the next moment she ran holding his hand. He couldn't do anything. But moved along with her. They stopped at a corner at a far distance. He looked at her and started laughing uncontrollably. She glared at him for which he again bursted into laugh.
"Hahaha...I am really happy now..Now whats the moral of your blunder story? Dont interfere into others life unnecessarily... understood?" He said and again laughed.
Meenakshi pouted.

"By the way the slap was super..I also wished to give you such a super slap when I met you for first time. Is it hurting?"he asked touching her cheek. She jerked his hand away.
"Why? Don't you also like touching?"he asked giggling.

"Meenakshi.."they heard a voice and saw Radha coming to them.
"See..she is again coming...get ready with the other cheek.."He whispered in her ears.

Radha hugged her immediately. Meenakshi smiled.
"Did I hurt you a lot?" Radha asked and Meenakshi shook her head.
"Thank you beti. Everything will be fine hereafter...he and his mom were hiding in kitchen when police came. They are really scared. They won't hurt me anymore..I am sure.."Radha said.
"I am glad that your life will be good hereafter..if they hurt you again don't hesitate to inform me. I have some more plans." Meenakshi said.
"Ok.. thank you dear..you saved my life...you will be always in my prayer.."Radha said and left.

Meenakshi looked at a confused Abhi.
"Ram.. What happened? "She asked.
"What is happening here?" He asked in return.
"Do you wanna know? But don't leak my plan to that SP. He is a fool. Thats why he came with me on hearing my complaint." She said.
"I think I am also a fool. I also believed you."he said.
"You are really a fool...that's why tried to end your life for a girl."she said and he glared at her.
"Arey..don't be angry..It was all a drama..direction and screen play by Meenakshi Varma." She said proudly.
"Drama for what?" He asked confusingly.
"To scare her husband and his family..see they won't hurt her anymore since they know that I will inform the police and it will become an issue...My plan worked."she said excitedly.

"So what about that slap?" He asked in wonder.
"It was also a part of our plan to make our act realistic.."she said.
He stared at her for a few minutes.
"Don't look at me like this..you know what...I am really shy..."she said blushing.
"What's the connection between you and shyness?"he widened his eyes and she glared at him.
"I think her husband would become a good man if police arrested him for once. We would give him some punishment for his actions."he said.
"No...I dont want to destroy her life."she said
"What??"he asked.
"Suppose you are my husband and I am your wife.."she was stopped by his words.
"What??not possible.."he shouted.
"Arey just imagine... suppose I made you arrest and police scared you...for your survival you must treat me well after that...but you won't love me...Am I right?"she asked and he thought for a minute.
"Wonderful..you are right....It would be only because of scare...not because of love.."he agreed.

She looked at her watch and was shocked.
"Arey man..I am late for work..it's all because of you only.."she scolded him.
He looked at her in wonder.
She started her scooter and he occupied the back seat.
After 10 minutes of journey they reached a printing press. She stopped the vehicle.
"Are you working here?" He asked.
"Yes..."she said and took out her helmet.
"Why did you stop here? Can't you drop me at the bus stand atleast?"he asked.
"Hello man..I am already late...See.. walk straight and the first turn to the left... it's bus stand..."she said.
"Ok.. thank you.."he said.

She rushed outside the press while he was looking at her. She stopped and looked back.
"Don't decide to end your life whatever happens in your life hereafter. Life is precious...god will decide our fate. Pls...live your life. May be this second life of yours have some purpose..only god knows it and wait till you discover it. Pls take it as your Rohini's words.."she said in the most sincere tone.

He was amazed with her words. He stared at her with admiration.
"And one more thing...Your Rohini is really lucky..."she said while walking back. He was surprised.

"Will we meet again? Anyway I don't want to meet you again at that beach at the same circumstance.Take care and good bye.."she said while walking without turning back.

He closed his eyes and smiled. Then he opened his eyes and started walking.
