Bindiya.... A small town FBR (Part-5)

Within minutes Rahul rushed outside, he just wanted to check if Bindiya is on time or not. But to his surprise she was already there wiping off dust from bike thus preparing it for riding. She was dressed in her usual blue suit which she used to wear while working at home. Both greeted each other with a huge smile. Bindiya asked Rahul that where would he like to learn since the lawn of house though big was not that big enough for anyone to learn bike. He suggested that they should go to some nearby vacant road and since this is morning every road will be vacant. Bindiya then mounted the bike and started it in her usual manner. She then drove about 2 kms from home to reach a relatively low traffic road. Since it was start of winters Rahul while sitting hugged her tightly enjoy body warmth of Bindiya. When chilly wind started hitting his face he buried his head in her back. After reaching appropriate spot, Bindiya asked him to get down. Though he would have preferred to remain seated but it was his initiative and he can’t backtrack on his words. He reluctantly came down and went ahead in front of bike and stood resting his arms on handle. Bindiya remain seated and started briefing about basics of bike. He tried to grasp the basics as quickly as possible. She tried to increase his confidence by demonstrating that how easy it is to kick start, apply gear with clutch and then release clutch slowly with increased accelerator. She then asked Rahul to give a try, she got off from the bike and asked Rahul to mount the machine, Rahul mounted the machine and tried to follow what Bindiya did, but got failed at very first step, bike refused to get start and he went on kicking it. Suddenly he realized that his bike even has self start, he gently pressed the button and bike started. This was some thing new for Bindiya; she never tried this option as she didn’t knew that technology has advanced so much. She got amused and her eyes were asking question to Rahul that why he never disclosed this important information her. Rahul as usual had explanation for this also, he replied “You know you look smarter when you kick start the bike, all this self start stuff if for weaker people like me”, he tried impressing her but noticing that her mercury level is rising he switched back to the task. As instructed he pressed the clutch and applied the gear, but now came the trickiest part of releasing the clutch and rotating accelerator. With highly low confidence level he tried that but coordination went terribly wrong and with a sudden jerk engine came to halt, but this jerk was more than enough to misbalance him and since he couldn’t put his left foot on ground bike started falling in that direction, he closed his eyes in desperation fearing the worse. Suddenly Bindiya came in between bike and ground and managed to take the entire weight of bike and Rahul thus preventing him and bike to fall. Everything happened so fast that Rahul was unable to understand what went wrong. In despair he wrapped his arms around Bindiya shoulders still sitting on bike while Bindiya kept on holding both for few seconds. After few seconds he realized that he is safe when he opened his eyes he found himself in that awkward position and since his face was quite close to Bindiya’s, he slowly said “Thank God, you saved me”, he then steadied himself on bike with Bindiya’s help. Bindiya then realized that he is in highly primitive stage of learning bike, so she said “let me sit behind you and then guide”, Rahul moved a bit forward and Bindiya swinging her right leg mounted bike behind Rahul. She then held handle above Rahul’s arms and as usual gave a mighty kick to bring bike in action. She then adjusted her left leg beside Rahul’s so that she can change the gear and using correct combination of clutch and accelerator put bike into running mode, she then put her right leg beside Rahul’s on the same foot rest so that she can apply brakes in time, if required. Because of larger body frame, she had no problem in wrapping her body around Rahul’s and still driving the bike. Rahul was almost in the seventh heaven, a bigger and stronger girl was sitting behind him wrapping her entire body around him and also maintaining the balance. After driving some distance she stopped the bike and said “look how easy it is”, Rahul getting a bit embarrassed replied “It is easy for you but for me, you know it very well that I am driving for the first time”. Understanding his limitation she switched the first gear and asked him to hold clutch and accelerator, she then put her palms over his to make a grip of both objects. She then asked him to loose the pressure a bit and as she make him release the clutch and increased accelerator, she demonstrated correct usage. Bike started running on road and she again wrapped her legs around Rahul’s to avoid any mishap. She then made him to drive the bike for nearly an hour, changing gears and applying brakes herself whenever required. Rahul was focused only on how to balance the handle while driving. In same posture she made him drove the bike back to home. Every passerby looked with his eyes wide open that a girl is teaching a boy how to ride bike. Even Murari was not an exception; he was also amazed on this development. Rahul was more than happy since this was his first experience on his new bike. He then took a promise from Bindiya that she will teach him in a similar manner in evening also. During the day Bindiya was busy in household activities while Rahul was surfing internet gathering more and more options for her. He also thought the way in which Bindiya saved her today. The way he fell, he was bound to hurt, but Bindiya presence of mind saved him. He also thought that even she is out of practice but still she is so strong. Even stronger than anyone else in the house or perhaps may be stronger than many males. In all this came the evening and another bike learning session. Rahul this time was more confident and atleast learned clutch and accelerator coordination, seeing his confidence Bindiya removed her hands from his and kept on her knees in an alert position so that in case of emergency she can handle the crises. Time and again when Rahul tried to be bit more ambitious and raised the speed, she calmed him down warning him of a possible accident. Her large legs were added advantage as even after sitting at a higher position on the seat she hardly had any problem in supporting bike. Rahul was unaware of this support funda and kept his legs on footrest all the time. They returned after an hour or so, Rahul was happy that atleast he is grasping the basics and hoped to learn bike as soon as possible. Same thing continued next morning with some improvement but still Rahul required a lot of support. Since Bindiya was behind him, he was assured that nothing can happen to him while learning. In the afternoon when they met at lunch, he told her that he has short listed few career counselors and we will be visiting them in a day or two. Malti and others were due to return in the evening, so Bindiya suggested that they should go for learning bike a bit earlier, Taking note of what Bindiya said, they both left a bit early than the previous day. This time Rahul showed a better confidence on road, atleast he was changing gears on his own, it was only in U-turns he required Bindiya’s help for changing gears. Though he still was not able to understand the importance of placing foot at right time on ground. Possible reason for this could be he was more than assured that Bindiya is there right behind him and she will take care of any crises situation. This reason was not letting him to listen to Bindiya’s instructions properly. After sometime when he showed no improvement, she asked him to halt the bike and then she got down from the bike. She then asked him to take one round on his own; Rahul got feared to his life since the previous day incident was still fresh in mind. When he resisted, she told in suspicion that this way he can never learn. On this Rahul replied rolling eyes “Why should I bother for that, after all you are there with me every time”, Bindiya blushed on this statement but again got strict and insisted him to take one round on his own. Rahul reluctantly agreed, to his surprise he was able to initiate the proceedings and proceeded ahead, after driving about 50 meters when he tried to change the gear without pressing the complete clutch, gear got stuck making heavy unwanted sound, Bindiya on listening understood that some thing has gone wrong ran to her fullest capacity towards bike. Rahul in the mean time got scared by this erratic behavior but some how in time was able to put his foot on ground but was unable to halt the bike as for a moment he forgot that something by the name brake also exist in bike. Bindiya in the mean time had reached bike, looking that bike is still moving and Rahul is trying hard to stop it by his foot hold the bike firmly from back and pushed it in her direction. Rahul who was scared unconsciously rotated throttle which was bound to drag bike further but Bindiya who was strongly holding the bike used her full body strength so that bike doesn’t roll further, she shouted at Rahul to keep throttle down. After few seconds bike came to halt and engine also got off. Rahul without even realizing that he has been again saved by her, furiously looked at Bindiya and in a raising voice said “See, I told you naa I will not be able to handle alone”, “But this way you will never learn, here spoon feeding doesn’t work” came the reply in equally raised voice. For the first time she lost her patience as Rahul’s pace of learning was extremely slow. Rahul realized that for how long Bindiya will come for his rescue and he has to become self dependent soon. He slowly said sorry to her and added “Perhaps, I made a wrong choice, this one is too high for me, rather splendour would have been better choice”. Bindiya consoled him by patting slowly on his back and said by lightly wrapping his right arm around his shoulders “It is certainly not a wrong choice, you know when I learned I was not even 5 feets and Passion is only centimeters shorter than his bike, height is definitely not a criteria while learning bike, it is only and only your willingness and courage, see your dad is shorter than you but he was the one who droved Pulsar to home”. Rahul then recalled “Yes you are right, when dad was sitting on pulsar he was barely able to touch the ground with his toe, but he certainly drove the bike well and brought it home”, he then added “I have to be more serious now, but Bindiya please give me some time may be after initial hick up I will drive better, so please support me till that time, God knows if I will be able to achieve perfection like you ever in my life”, he almost pleaded and wondered at the same time. Bindiya then wrapped her other hand from front and gave a gentle hug to boost his confidence and motivate him. Without waiting for another plea from Rahul she sat behind him and slowly he started to cripple bike on the road. Bindiya as usual was sitting in her usual alert position keeping her head on Rahul’s right shoulder so that if required she can pass on instruction in no time. Suddenly an Activa passed by at about 70 kmph which was being driven by girl and another girl was sitting pillion. On seeing Rahul driving bike very slowly on road, the pillion girl showed down thumb to indicate he can’t catch them. Rahul got distressed and said to himself a bit loud so that Bindiya can also hear “Had I known driving today, I would have shown them what is the real place of Activa”. Bindiya quickly understanding his frustration suddenly grabbed the handle wrapping his arms over Rahul’s and put her legs on the front foot rests, before Rahul could understand anything, she asked him to shrink a bit so that she can have a better control, Rahul immediately followed his instructions and there she raised the throttle and bike zoomed on the road. She then said “Why wait for tomorrow, we will show them their correct place right now”, with in few seconds meter touched 100 and the distance between them and Activa which was substantial in the beginning started diminishing rapidly. It was the matter of leas than 30 seconds and Pulsar was running parallel to Activa, they almost raced ahead, when she slowed down to 70 so that both vehicles can run in parallel. She then smirked at girls who were actually in shock state that how come they came near to them so fast and were also amused noticing the unusual position of sitting. She then turned her head and bend it little, Rahul on the other hand too turned his head a bit upward in a position that both can see each other, they then passed smile celebrating victory, Bindiya again raised the throttle and Pulsar zoomed ahead, it was turn of Rahul now to thumb down the girls. Even though this victory came courtesy Bindiya, but he was feeling like a victor and to further celebrate Rahul raised his both hands and punched some fists in air. Sitting in that position by twisting his head, he even managed to plant a small kiss on Bindiya’s cheek as a note of appreciation. Bindiya find that act unusual but she ignored that as she herself was elated on the victory. After sometime he returned to his original task of learning bike. When Bindiya noticed that substantial time has passed by and now they should return, she asked Rahul to take U turn. Rahul immediately left that task for Bindiya, she again wrapped her hands and legs around his body while he shrunk a bit in order to give better control. It was exactly at time when they were taking U-Turn, a car nearly collided with their bike, but since both saw each other in time nothing happened, it was then every rider on car and bike noticed that they all belonged to same house. Actually Malti along with Simran and Prem has retuned from the marriage. Rahul waved his hand showing his happiness on seeing dear ones safe return and shouted from that position, “Hey Mom look I have started to learn bike driving”, he then asked Bindiya to move a bit back as she was holding the handle with her entire body almost wrapped around him. Bindiya complied with Rahul request and Rahul slowly started the bike and drived it carefully to home. Malti was actually happy to see Rahul’s initiative and kept smiling in appreciation. Another passenger in car who was fuming at the same time was Prem. Immediate thought process that started in his mind was that Bindiya ignorance towards Rahul was just a show-off and nothing has changed. He was getting impatient and was wishing that they should reach home as early as possible. Since Rahul was riving real slow, his wait was getting longer and longer. When they reached home, Rahul again passed on control to Bindiya so that she can do the entire tricky job of taking sharp turns which will eventually lead to the garage. Everyone got down and assembled in the lawn for exchange of greetings. Malti and Simran congratulated Rahul for his heroics and same time praised Bindiya for teaching him. Rahul too gently pressed her wrist in appreciation. Though he did it with so that he get away unnoticed, but it is impossible to get away from sharp sight of Prem. Prem then said addressing the entire crowd “I think Bindiya is not fit for the training job, handling bike for own while driving is some thing else and training some one is different ball game, I fear they both of them may land in big trouble if the continue doing that”, “Then please suggest a better name” came the Rahul’s request. “I think Rajat sa’ab is the best choice” he tried to cut the discussion short, Rahul then said looking at Malti, “Mom, do you really think so, firstly dad is too busy in his work and also height of trainer plays a major role, I doubt if he can handle me and as well as bike with so much perfection in the way Bindiya did”. Malti quickly understood Rahul’s logic and nodded her head saying “Yes, you are right son, Bindiya is the best trainer for you, I assume that you have grown so much that your male ego will not be hurt and you will feel proud of the fact that you learned bike driving in an unconventional way”, her later part of sentence was having suspicion as well. “Not at all mom, in fact I only proposed for this and if there would have been any problem I would have never travelled with her again after hospital incident”, Rahul stamped the decision in acceptance and virtual go ahead. Prem’s temper was raising but no one noticed except Bindiya, but she was keep her cool and preferred to ignore his feelings remembering speech given by Rahul other day. Prem then bursted requesting Malti, “Malkin, if you will allow Bindiya in getting indulged in so many other activities, definitely the key focus areas will get affected, this is not a good thing, her prime purpose of being here is to take proper care of house and serve everyone in the best way possible”. “Prem, I don’t know why you have cultivated habit of opposing Bindiya for her every act, be it right or wrong, if you think this is not her focus area then I am making it one of focus area right now, you only said you both are here to serve us better and till the time your’s or Bindiya’s act is related to any member of our family it is part of serving only, its better you keep your mouth shut and do whatever is instructed, first show me that you are getting overloaded and then I will take decision, if required we will keep another maid, I think Meena will be fit to work soon and that option is still open to me”, Malti’s voice went higher and higher when she said these words. It came as a strict warning to Prem, who immediately left the spot to avoid further insult. Everyone then passed on smile to each other as if they have won first round of bout. When both retuned returned to their room after finishing entire work, Prem tried to act normally as if that incident hasn’t impacted him, but his tone was clearly explaining his fabrication. Bindiya deliberately ignored that fabrication and both slept in the normal manner. Bindiya soon fall asleep while Prem kept waking for long time, again and again those scenes were coming in front of his eyes in which Bindiya was wrapping her entire body around Rahul’s and controlling the bike, the closeness which they shared at time, the coziness which Rahul was enjoying, the way Bindiya patted Rahul’s cheek after parking bike in the garage, the way Rahul held her wrist, the way Rahul cooked up plot so that Malti got fully convinced, the way Malti insulted her in front of everyone. All this was filling him with more and more hatred for Rahul, he also started feeling how timid he is in front of Bindiya, but he never knew his timidity will only increase in the coming time when more and more mysteries that Bindiya is carrying will unfold one by one.

Bindiya.... A small town FBR (Part-4)

She then went on to unwind her past: “We originally belonged to Khurja, a small town in west UP. My father was a daily wage mason and my mother used to work in various home as maid, in short we were quite poor and were barely able to live a contended life. I also had a brother named Tilak who was 4 years elder to me; he was a strong man of nearly 6 feet in height. In spite of poor condition my parents were determined to give us education and make us stand on our feet. I was really fond of studying but Tilak was more interested in all other activities except studies. He some how managed to pass 10th standard, and immediately after passing 10th he joined a diploma course related to machine repairing and management. This somehow turned out to be his area of interest and after 2 years he passed out with good marks. Because of that he was recruited as mechanic in well known factory of our area. His recruitment brought a lot of cheer in our family as he was the first person in our family who started bringing monthly salary to home. Though his salary was not much but it was good enough that we started living comfortably in our current status. I continued then with my studies. With all his hard work and dedication soon he got promoted to the level of floor supervisor. His salary was also hiked, he then made my father stopped working and we even moved to a better one room house on rent. One thing that was peculiar with my brother was his attitude towards me. He never treated me like a girl and any time when mother used to shout at him saying it’s not a girls task, he fought with mom and convinced her that our Bindiya is not like rest. It was because of him only I learned riding cycle at age when other kids used to drive 3 wheeler cycles. After becoming floor supervisor, Tilak purchased a second hand Passion, and right on the day when he brought at home, he took me out in field and asked to learn it as quickly as possible. When I showed some reluctance that it is meant for boys, he went out of his mind and yelled to me that what is so special in it and he has seen in movies and TV that girls do drive bike. I then agreed and he went on teaching me basics for some time. It then became a usual habit for me to learn bike whenever he used to return from his job. Within 10 days of learning I developed confidence to take bike on road. Following Tilak’s direction I took bike on road and seeing first time a girl driving bike, almost entire Khurja had their finger in their mouth. Mom too spotted us and when we came back another round of arguments started. After all, my brother was my brother and it was impossible for anyone to win him is arguments. Finally everyone had to accept the fact that I will be driving bike now onwards. Tilak used to have his weekly off thusrday’s, so when the next Thursday came, he ordered me to go to school on bike rather cycle. My mom knew there was no point arguing with Tilak gave instant permission. I then took my bike for the first time all alone. Every one was simply watching me when I was passing through the streets. When I reached school everyone who saw me almost fainted. It was first time when someone was coming to school on bike and that too a girl. Almost at the same time our principal came on his scooter. Seeing me parking my bike gave me complement and said that I am just like my brother but cautioned me that unlike my brother I should take my studies seriously. I nodded my head in assurance. Days past away fast and with in 2 years I passed my 10th with 82% marks. This was a new record in our town, Tilak almost gone mad; he threw a grand part inviting his close friends and relatives. We all had fun for the entire night. It was then he announced that he will help me to get best of the studies and fulfill my aspiration to become software engineer. He then got me admitted to school relatively far from the current as this school was only up to 10th. I was bit reluctant in going that far, but he assured that he will soon find out a way. He then got his shift adjusted in such a way that in morning we both used to leave together and after dropping him at his factory I used to take bike to my school. On coming back I used to leave bike at his factory and come to home by rickshaw. Even in this school I was the only one coming on bike. My classmates used to get all amused spotting me on bike; they even tried to follow me on their bicycles but of no use. Tilak always used to give me opportunity to drive bike and felt proud in sitting pillion. He always used to say that whatever he missed in life, he will make me do all that and when I will earn handsome amount of money he will sit back at home and relax. One day he took me to karate classes and got me admitted there also. When I asked why, he told that I should be capable of defending my self in odd situations. After 12 months of practice I achieved Black belt and gave him reason to celebrate again. It was approximately during that time, when we were returning a bit late, he asked me to halt near the pan shop for some time; suddenly 2 guys started commenting on me, when he returned back I complained to him. He got furious and instead of saying anything to them started shouting at me that is this what for which I have passed my black belt. He further asked me to go and fight and if any thing happens other way then he will step in between. This gave me enough power and I ran towards them, though they were big but they were no match in front of my skills and within minutes they were biting dust after failing to bear my hard fists, punches and reverse kicks. They then laid flat on ground holding my feet and begging for life. Tilak enjoyed the whole scene and was clapping and whistling in appreciation. Others too spotted this scene and clapped for me in appreciation. Since Khurja was a small time, this news spread like fire and also reached my school, I believe none of the boys in my school even dared to misbehave with me. One or two even volunteered to apologize for teasing me by calling ladder, etc because of my height. Time kept on passing and I soon passed by 12th class with 78% marks. Tilak was again happy and threw a party in appreciation. Then came the most challenging task of pursuing the degree course. Engineering being expensive course was out of our reach. In fact we were not aware that government provides education loan, otherwise I could have tried for that course also. After lot of research Tilak came to know that there is one degree college in our town where BSc computer science course is available. I took admission in that course. There I came to know about B level course of DOEACC society which is equivalent to MCA. I then applied for foundation course of O level and hence started my journey. Since this college was also far, Tilak worked out the same arrangement as earlier so that I could concentrate on studies. When it came to practical’s, it brought a new problem, our college was not in good condition and computers were too old to teach some thing updated. Tilak even came out with a solution for that problem, he successfully convinced his manager to let me use his PC after office hours. Every day I used to visit his factory after office hours and learn areas of my interest. All of us were hopeful that better days are not far and when from zero we have achieved so much then rest is not far. Everything was going fine till one day when I went to Tilak’s factory for daily exercise, It was the day when my semester results were out, I got the highest marks in my college. Overriding with joy on my achievement I drived my bike at the highest speed possible and rushed to Tilak’s factory. But when I reached there the situation was not like the other days, emergency alarm was raised and while parking I saw an ambulance rushing from factory to hospital. Fearing the worst I ran towards his floor and enquired to one of workers there about has happened. He told me that a big part of machine fall down accidentally hurting 3 workers out of them Tilak is also one who got badly injured. On hearing I broke down and felt like entire surrounding has been filled with darkness. His manager then consoled me and asked me rush to the hospital. I then run to parking, took my bike and drove down at even higher speed to my home, with heavy breath I cracked the news to my parents and asked to rush to the hospital. I then took both of them to the hospital on same bike. If this would have any other circumstance then my parent would have certainly not opted to sit behind me, but this was the crises hour and reaching hospital at the earliest was priority. When we reached there Tilak was already in the operation theatre for surgery. After 4 heavy hours doctor came out, our eyes brightened seeing him. At that point of time he was like god to us, when we enquired about Tilak he told in heavy voice, Tilak wore the heaviest impact in order to save fellow workers, though his life is saved but the impact was so hard that his lower half of body has been paralyzed, this may or may not get corrected with time. Mon and Dad almost fainted on hearing his words, I also wanted to cry as hard as possible but seeing their condition only option left with me was to support them. I could very clearly foresee all my ambition getting shattered like glass. Tilak was discharged from hospital after 15 days, his company paid the entire expenses and also gave some compensation since it was not possible for him to work now. It is was during these days that my O level result was declared and as expected I secured distinction in that also, but all that was good for nothing now. With the help of compensation that Tilak got we tried showing him to some good doctors but situation didn’t improved. When the compensation money drained out meeting his medical expense, it was the turn of his savings which he saved for my higher studies. Though he resisted a lot but we all decided otherwise. We even tried in nearby big cities but situation remained unchanged. Finally we sold off his bike also. It was of no use for us since my parents didn’t allowed to go out on bike fearing worst for me also. I also agreed to their demands as that was not the right time to fight for rights. One day when the situation came that we didn’t even have money to meet daily expenses, mom started working in homes as maid like before, while dad took a job as a watchman as he was not that much physically fit. On seeing all this Tilak gradually went into deep depression and under that stroke he silently consumed poison one night and passed away with out make a single noise. On his suicide note he clearly mentioned that he is not able to see the disastrous condition of his family and he is more of burden now so it’s better to get rid of life and reduce burden. He also instructed me to complete my studies by whatever means and it is last wish that I become software engineer one day and perhaps that only his soul will rest in peace. But there was no way that could have helped in fulfilling his last wish. By that time I had passed my first year securing highest marks again but couldn’t arrange for second year fees in time. I also thought that it would be too selfish on my part to carry out my studies when parents are struggling to get 2k rupees in a month. I also tried for some job as per my qualification town was too small to get a job. I then took some small time accounting job in a shop which fetched me 500 rupees a month and few tuitions to maths which fetched me another 250 rupees. It was under these circumstances we stretched our lives for 2 years before I got proposal from Prem for marriage. My parents agreed immediately and so did I, this is how I landed up at your house”. When she stopped it was already 10 in the night, tears were flowing like river from the eyes of both. Rahul wanted to ask to few more questions but Bindiya reminded him to move towards home showing watch and assured him that she will answer all questions today itself. They then raced towards home, Rahul while going back was obviously very sad and in that mood he silently kept his head on her shoulder and waited for home to come. She then parked the bike and both of them marched to Rahul’s bedroom. Both of them took their respective places and Rahul further carried “Well I didn’t understood one thing that when you were black belt then you could have worked as Karate trainer as well”, “Well I tried that option as well but being a small town, school was very small and another trainer or assistant was not required, I could have easily got the job in nearby city but my parents after that mishap didn’t even allowed to step out of home, I only sat back and learned household activities. Since physical work reduced a lot, I put up weight as well, infact you can not imagine how much physically fit I was at that time” she replied explaining more than required. “What about your decision to marry Prem, what exactly lead you to that, as I believe he is not at all a match for you” Rahul further enquired. “Prem first spotted me in one of the marriage. Prem was very much keen to marry a pretty girl. In our community it is not possible to find a better looking girl than me. When he saw me, he first enquired about our family background. When he cam to know that our financial condition is pathetic, he immediately send the marriage proposal, without even enquiring about the past, even till day he doesn’t know my complete history. My parents could not have expected a better groom considering our condition. I tried to resist since his height was considerably lesser than mine, but my parents insisted me to go on, a biggest factor that contributed in this decision was his job in Gurgaon. I took it as an opportunity to explore my further studying options and fulfill dreams that Tilak saw for me, but I doubt I will be able to do all that since Prem’s attitude is highly negative”, she completed her explained her stand and raised her shoulders exhibiting hopeless situation. Rahul then further went on various other things her approach and future plans and finally announced bringing a loud cheer in this on his face “you will achieve what ever you have missed. I have framed a foolproof plan so chill out babes”.

Though Bindiya was skeptical on what was going on in Rahul’s mind. She feared that it might not be that easy the way Rahul is planning. She asked Rahul what he has planned. Rahul then unveiled his plans “Well I have not planned much, but a simple give and take type of relation. God has given you everything in abundance apart from money and I though I have money in am not perfect in most of the things. So I will help you by raising your awareness level so that you can select the right and shortest course, getting fund raised for supporting education etc and what you have to do for me is to help me studies since you are brilliant in that, help me in learning bike since you are a vivid driver and help me in getting stronger and fitter as you already committed that you possess black belt”. “Is this possible?” she again got skeptical. “Well yes, but oweness lies on you, remember if you want to achieve your goal, then be prepared to manage everything, I mean right from this home to your home, Prem, me, your studies and might be another part time job which may be required to get more cash”, he replied. “What about Prem, how he will agree”, Bindiya fired next question, “Well as I told you yesterday, he will realize your importance with time. He is perfect at household activities and you want to create your position in outside world, in other words you both complement each other, once he will realize this fact you both will be a happy couple” Rahul gave another convincing reply. After thinking thoroughly for some time she nodded her head in acceptance with a faint smile. Rahul can easily read the determination which has hiding behind her smile. Rahul looked at his watch and it was 2 a.m., he then asked Bindiya to go for sleep and told her to report at 6 a.m. because she has to take bike teaching class at that time. Bindiya resisted for such early rising that too even after sleeping late, Rahul then tried to motivate her saying “This is what I said, when I said to be determined, mind it I am your manager now and you have to comply with each and every order of mine, is that clear”. Bindiya’s eyes brightened on listening to these words, she then gave a gentle hug to Bindiya and left for her room. That night Rahul couldn’t sleep, time and again he remembered tragic story of Bindiya and many other girls having story to similar to her who sacrifice their life, their ambitions, their everything for others, he was also enthusiastic for the challenge that is going to start from tomorrow. All these missed feeling of joy and sorrow couldn’t let him sleep and suddenly alarm went on breaking the silence and asking him to start his new lesson.

Bindiya.... A small town FBR (Part-3)

Few days went past after that incidence. Since Rahul was having exams, he was busy in his exams and Bindiya tried maintaining some distance with him. Prem as usual was tense but seeing Bindiya restricting herself, he was feeling happy from inside. Though he maintained silence and never exhibited his feelings. Bindiya complying to Malti’s order was taking Prem to market for various purchases but Prem never bothered to talk to her. But one thing was certainly which Prem never exhibited was the pleasure which we started getting on taking pillion rides. Sitting back quietly he used to adore each and every move of Bindiya. He also enjoyed the envy looks which others used to give when Bindiya zoomed ahead on the roads. Once a shopkeeper who was known to him inquired about Bindiya, he preferred to hide her true identity just introduced her as another house maid of Gupta Gamily. Though Bindiya didn’t liked this introduction but kept quite to avoid another altercation. Prem though understood what is going on her mind and even apologize for his words. Bindiya calmly replied that she will wait for the day when she will be introduced in the correct manner. One day while returning back they avoided a fatal accident, though it was not the fault of Bindiya but she maintained her cool to avoid last minute collision. Prem in sudden desperation wrapped his tightly around Bindiya’s waist and hid his head behind her back. When bike came to halt avoiding collision he quickly retuned back to his position knowing well that he has lost at least this mind game. He expressed his gratitude by gently keeping his palm on Bindiya’s shoulder and saying thanks. Bindiya accepted his gratitude by a short smile and saying welcome in return. This incident cleared clouds to certain extent. Prem started realizing supremacy of his wife but damage done earlier was bound to take some time for repair.

It was under these circumstances, one Malti announced that she along with 2 kids will have to leave for one relative’s marriage. Since the relative has requested her to bring one servant, Bindiya will accompany them to the marriage. Day when they were scheduled to leave was the day when Rahul exams were getting over. Rahul was happy that he will have a companion out there and started planning the plot that how he can convince his mom so that he can take his pulsar since the venue was merely 80 kms from their home. Amidst of all this planning, school cracked a bad news to Rahul that practical has been proponed and will now happen just 2 days after last exam. He was immediately removed from traveling persons list that made him really sad. He then changed his plan and started thinking that now how he can swap Bindiya with Prem. Suddenly his mind lightened up with an exceptional idea, he immediately rushed to his Mom and after discussing few other things very casually asked why is our servant required there. Malti replied back not knowing the exact motive “A cook is desperately needed there, so I have committed that I will bring one of our servants”. “Then why you planned for Bindiya, I mean we all know Prem is a better cook and I think its better to present best of us rather than show casing a lesser efficient cook” he tried suggesting his mom alternative. Malti though took it other way round “Rahul, you started again, I am really amazed that even after Bindiya doing so much for you, you are still complaining about her”. “I am not complaining mom, but I am suggesting a better alternative, just think if I still had reservations against her then I wouldn’t have raised this point” he tried explain his stand. “I think you have point, Prem will definitely serve better, but the reason why I intentionally left him was that there should be someone in the house who can take the responsibility of taking care in our absence”, Malti replied thinking deeply. “Don’t worry mom, I have grown big enough that I can take this responsibility and after all I am not alone, I will be having Bindiya here and you know very well that how responsible she is” He further tried to convince his mother. Malti finally agreed and picked her phone to inform Prem about sudden change is plan. Prem agreed mainly because of the fact that Bindiya is restricting her self now and simultaneously he is also realizing her importance. Rahul then bid good night to his mother and returned to his room jumping in joy as in the mean time he has planned much more than expected. Since Mr. Gupta was out of the country, everyone else left for function next morning for the venue in his car leaving Rahul and Bindiya for 3 days. Rahul immediately hugged her but she gave a cold response and rushed to her servant room saying that she will be available for services at 8 a.m.

Rahul got puzzled with this sudden change in Attitude of Bindiya. With these thoughts going on his mind, he got ready for the school and came for the breakfast at 8 a.m., Bindiya in the meantime has prepared the breakfast and soon served to Rahul, Rahul while eating the breakfast break the silence “Is some thing wrong?” he asked Bindiya. “Nothing” was the answer. “But I can see you tensed, come on yaar cheer up, so much tension is injurious to health”, he tried to lighten the atmosphere. On getting no reply, he left for the school saying that he wants a cheerful face in the afternoon and definitely wants answer for his queries. He gave his first practical exam and as expected everything went fine in school. After returning he didn’t find any substantial improvement. When Bindiya was leaving after serving lunch, he caught her hand and with some force he made her sit down on the chair. He then sit on the next chair and told that he will not leave till the time she will share her problem. When he didn’t got reply for some time he tried his next weapon “Ok, if you want that I get fail in tomorrow’s practical, then I will definitely fulfill your wish”, with that he started leaving the place. Bindiya then holded his hand and said in a very soft voice keeping her head low “Prem is not comfortable about our relationship, he is doubting my closeness, I am just trying to save my marriage, you know very well that I am a small town girl and right now totally dependent on Prem”. “Oh I see, then let us discuss this for some time and then do as you wish” Rahul pleaded, Bindiya accepted the offer and they proceeded to his bedroom for discussion. After reaching bedroom Rahul started the conversation “Look Bindiya, it is totally your wish, Initially I was also very much against you, till now I haven’t shared with you but today I want to tell you that the hatred was because of the fact that I was not able accept you because you were taller than me and for me it was a direct attack on my masculinity when you were hired”, he further carried “But later after Simran accident I realized that your true worth and heartily accepted you not only as a maid in this house but also as my friend, you are now integral part of my life and I will try to keep my friendship as long as possible”, he paused for a moment and further started without waiting for reply “Prem being shorter in height might be also thinking the same way, initially when he decided to marry you he might be attracted by your beauty only but after marriage he might have realized that you get automatic attraction wherever you go, moreover your bike riding abilities may have acted as catalyst to existing problem, believe me he loves you a lot but he is not ready to live with the fact you are more capable than him especially in the area which is supposedly male domain”. Bindiya then replied “I know Rahul what is going on his mind, and it got even clearer after the accident that we avoided, but I can see that he is happier from the day I am chatting lesser with you”. “Believe me all these are just methods to bother you and put you on back foot, once he will understand you completely he will not mind any action of yours, just to make your life smoother and brighter I have planned something for you but I can share that only when you will fulfill your promise” Rahul then cracked his intentions sensing lighter atmosphere. Bindiya cooled down and asked in a lighter voice now “what is that?” “That I will tell you only tomorrow, remember you promised to share your past life, I think tomorrow after my last practical it will be best time you will come to my school to pick me up and from there we will go to Sahara Mall and there only I will listen to your story and if time permits I will share my further plans” Rahul said in ordering tone, when Bindiya tried to raise her reservation he said deal is final and no more arguments now but yes a hug is required to celebrate patch up. Bindiya then gave a hug to Rahul and while Rahul told her “Please get dressed in that purple green suit which mom presented you that day”, when Bindiya raised her shoulders enquiring for the motive he replied “that will help everyone to notice you better since that place is a happening place and I don’t want you to get away unnoticed”, his eyes were explaining his mischief but he soon broke the eye contact and immersed in his book. Rest of the day went as usual with Rahul busy in studies and Bindiya preparing food stuff which he liked most. Both of them went to sleep at their usual timings eagerly waiting for what is their in store for the next day.

Next morning Rahul reported for breakfast on time. He finished his breakfast happily left for school with Murari. Before going he had a gentle hug with Bindiya to bid god bye and to tell her he will waiting for her after school. Bindiya nodded her head in acceptance. After reaching school, Rahul instructed Murari to not to come to school for picking him up and he will reach home on his own. He then went on to finish his practical in no time and came out of exam room approx 45 minutes before the schedule. He then changed to casuals in change room and reached school gate to wait for Bindiya. He was feeling more than happy and every moment was passing like an hour. Approximately after 45 minutes there emerged a mighty figure dressed in purple green suit driving Pulsar and he jumped to joy and almost ran in the direction from which Bindiya was coming. After some time both came to halt and instantly wrapped his arms around Bindiya to gave a tight hug. He slowly said “thanks for coming”. “After our yesterday’s conversation, there was no reason for me for not to come, now shall we proceed” she replied. “Sure” said Rahul and almost jumped to the pillion seat, the impact of landing was more than enough to misbalance the bike but Bindiya maintained the balance using her strong legs. He then sat close to her wrappings his arms quite tightly around her waist. Just when both of them were about to leave “Hey Rahul” came the sound and an Activa stopped parallel to them in a flash of second. This was again Mohit, he politely said hi to Bindiya and enquired to Rahul that where are they going, Rahul replied “Since Bindiya hasn’t seen anything in Gurgaon yet, we are going to Sahara Mall”. Mohit then said “Can I join you guys for a cup of coffee, I will leave after that as I have to go to Delhi after that”. Bindiya was not much keen and remained silent, Rahul too was silent and looked towards Bindiya asking question. Bindiya understood in eyes and agreed to the offer. Both vehicles then proceeded towards Sahara Mall. Mohit though himself offered the cup of coffee to react, on one hand he was willing to keep his activa parallel to pulsar so that e can spotted with such a courageous lady, but on the other hand he was again and again slowing down fearing how people will make fun of him on being spotted in such an inferior position. In some time they all reached Sahara Mall, while they were parking there bikes, parking guy was smiling sarcastically hinting he has also enjoyed the seen. Mohit understood his thought process but preferred to keep quite and soon they proceeded to CafĂ© Coffee Day in the mall. In next 15 minutes coffee was served and Rahul and Mohit went on talking to each other while Bindiya was not interested to be the part of their discussion. While leaving Mohit said to Bindiya “Bye Ma’am, hope to meet you soon”. When Mohit left Bindiya asked angrily to Rahul, “Why he called me ma’am, why you didn’t tell him truth about me”, Rahul cooled down the atmosphere by replying “It was just a gesture of paying you respect since you are not like other girls, there is nothing wrong in that, so pls cool down….Ma’am”, followed by smirk. Bindiya could just only smile in appreciation on this mischief of Rahul and soon relaxed down. Then they started exploring the mall, Bindiya was particularly amazed on seeing such a mighty mall, this was entirely a new experience for her. It was some thing which she heard in stories or saw on TV. She was trying to enjoy each and every moment. While browsing through the shops she was attracted by one shop that was having the collection of designer suits. Rahul quickly understood her eyes, told her to go inside and have a close look. She went inside and while looking those designer suits she said to herself “God knows when I will be able to purchase one of them”. “Well your friend gets enough pocket money that he can afford to buy you a one” suddenly these words fell into her ears and shockingly when she looked back, it was none other than Rahul. “What…What you said” she asked as if some has caught her red handed. “Well nothing I just said that If you like any of them then I can purchase it for you, just a small gift nothing more”, he replied with puzzled look. She then got relieved that it was just a statement made by Rahul and he is not a mind reader. She calmly denied the offer and when Rahul enquired she said she would like to purchase on her own and begged Rahul to not misunderstand her. Where ever they were going people were curiously looking at the odd pair, but Rahul was feeling proud and tried to walk as close as possible to Bindiya. While doing window shopping they went inside a sports showroom, Rahul asked salesman there to show some gloves for bike riding. Rahul actually wanted to purchase gloves for Bindiya as winters were nearing and they will help her in driving efficiently. Sales immediately brought some gloves for him, while looking at them he asked curiously “do you have something special for girls and I am not sure if size matters as I want to purchase them for her” pointing towards Bindiya. Sales curiously asked “Do you want them for driving Activa / Scooty?” on hearing this Rahul got furious and angrily said “how does it matter man, she drives Pulsar any thing else you want to know?” Salesman thought it as a joke tried explaining something which made Rahul more furious, he almost shouted “Don’t you understand simple English, she drives Pulsar, come on tell me how should I explain it you”. Salesman gave weird look and preferred to keep quite and mind his business; he then showed some gloves and Rahul selected one of them of her. After making payment when they came out Bindiya asked “Why did you shouted like that, there was no need to loose your temper there”, Rahul who was still tensed replied back “Look Bindiya, this is some thing which I dislike, when I told him once then who is to doubt your capabilities, and mind it if some one will behave like this then he is bound get this treatment”. Bindiya smiled back in appreciation and relived the atmosphere. They then proceeded to a restaurant for eating something. While they were waiting for their food Rahul said slowly “Well ma’am if you remember time has come for you to tell your past”, Bindiya tried ignoring that question but Rahul was unfazed and determined to know. She then said “Ok, if you insist I will tell each and every thing about my past, but it is a long story and you may get bored, do you really have patience to listen?”, she checked before starting any thing. “Yes I can listen you till eternity”, came the reply from determined Rahul. Bindiya then proceeded to share her past with Rahul”

Bindiya.... A small town FBR (Part-2)

As mentioned in previous blog, everything changed after hospital incidence. Rahul never minded anything related to Bindiya, infact started enjoying her presence. It became a usual habit to chat freely and share daily activities with her. One day when Rahul was busy in doing his homework, Bindiya came with a glass of milk. Since Rahul was too busy in scratching his head to solve some problem, he asked her to keep the milk and he will drink it later. But Bindiya held his hand and announced that she won’t go till the he finishes his milk. Rahul had no other option but to comply with her demand. He excused him for a moment and went to washroom. Bindiya in the mean time curiously went through his study material. After sometime Rahul returned and while finishing milk started chatting with Bindiya. After finishing his milk, he returned the glass and told her to leave since he has to finish the entire exercise and he is fighting with the second question. “I think this exercise will eat my entire night” he further added in frustration clearly exhibiting that exercise is too tough for him to crack. Bindiya very casually said “why don’t you try alternate approach and crack down your problems” she then wrote something on paper and Rahul’s eyes brightened explaing his enthusiasm that how easy is for him now to solve all the problems in an hour. But he was puzzled that how Bindiya can so easily solve the problems of 11th standard maths. He asked her “how come you know the solution, it’s not an easy problem and only those who have studied can know the tricks”. “Well dear, I had passed my 12th standard with 78% marks and a 12th grader is capable of solving such problems, right?” she replied.

“Hey! You never told me that you posses so much brain” Rahul shouted in amazement. “That ways you don’t know a lot of things about me” Bindiya carried on, “You know I got 82% percent in high school, and I have also completed my O level certification”. “So you are even computer expert, hey why don’t you then help in debugging my programs, I am very bad at that” Rahul further added. “Well I have seen your coding and I think time and again you write unnecessary code. What you write in 100 lines, same output can be generated by writing just 15 lines” she smiled adding to Rahul’s confusion. “But how come you studied my code so quickly, believe me Bindiya you are terrific combination of everything. A perfect all rounder” Rahul carried on in appreciation. “God knows what I am, but whatever I did, I tried to do with perfection” she replied back with a faded smile. Rahul understood that some thing has terribly gone in her life, he enquired “Well if you feel comfortable then I would like to know your past, I mean everything and what made you landed in the position where you are nothing more than a poor house maid”. “There is no reason that why I can’t share my story with you, but it’s a long story and it is not an appropriate time to share my past. Prem is waiting for me” she replied and started leaving the place. Rahul shouted from back while she was leaving “Ok then I will wait for that day”. Rahul then completed his remain problems in no time and went to bed thinking that how merciless God is, who landed Bindiya in such a awkward life which is not at all fit for he, he then made certain decisions and went into deep sleep.

Next day while playing badminton Rahul heard Prem shouting on phone, Malti was also standing next to her with confused looks. Rahul went to the spot and enquired about the whole scenario. Prem said “Look Rahul baba, this Murari is a highly irritating person, without informing us he took car to service center even knowing very well that today is mandi day and we purchase our weekly vegetables from this market, I think I have to go by auto now”. Rahul after thinking for sometime suggested “Why don’t you go with Bindiya, she is capable of driving bike and you can go with her to bring all the required vegetables”. Rahul deliberately suggested this in order to bring them closer and perhaps Prem will also recognize her true worth. Malti immediately endorsed the idea and called Bindiya to take Prem to mandi for purchasing vegetables. Prem had no other option but to accept his Malti’s decision. Bindiya who was wearing her blue Patiala suit, soon came out with keys and started giant machine with same confidence, Prem then sat pillion. Bindiya being superior to Prem in physical appearance, there was no comparison between the two and Bindiya was looking like the master and Prem like poor slave. Both Malti and Rahul kept on seeing and appreciating Bindiya till the bike disappeared from the scene. Rahul then further added, “Mom, why don’t you ask Bindiya to take Prem for all kinds of purchases, after all bike is fuel economical and there is no point in spending equal amount on petrol that is consumed by car”. Malti liked the idea and ground was all set for another humiliation of Prem.

Meanwhile Prem while sitting behind was undergoing same set of thoughts that Rahul underwent but this approach was more inclined towards negative. Though he preferred to sit quite maintaining a substantial distance between himself and Bindiya, but Bindiya was all in thanks to Rahul for providing such a nice opportunity which may bring her close to his husband. She even tried to speak to Prem, but Prem preferred to keep quite and didn’t got involved in any discussion. Only thing he asked Bindiya to do was to tie her hair as they were flowing with wind and hitting his face time and again. Bindiya then tied her hairs leaving her both hands from handle while the bike was still moving. Prem actually got scared on seeing this stunt. He warned her to drive properly else he will look for some other option. When they reached market, he quietly purchased vegetables; meanwhile Bindiya was waiting for him in the parking lot. While returning Bindiya played the trick of putting hard brakes, Prem in a sudden jerk fall on Bindiya’s back, his face got buried in her back and his upper lip got a light injury as it hitted the chain which Bindiya was wearing in her neck. This act made him real furious, he hurriedly set himself back and cautioned her to drive carefully, Bindiya then said “What happened Prem, it looks like you are not comfortable”, “Please mind your business, I came with you just because of some urgency, it doesn’t mean that you make fun of me. I know you are good biker but it doesn’t mean that you have become superior to me”, Prem bursted back. The sentence was clearly showing his frustration and his unwillingness to accept Bindiya’s supremacy. Bindiya being a sensible lady preferred to keep quite and completed her journey by driving carefully to avoid any sort of jerks. When they reached home, both of them straight away went to kitchen, Malti in the meantime entered into kitchen and announced her decision, “Prem, from now onwards you will go with Bindiya on bike to do all kinds of purchases. There is no point in spending money on car fuel when we have a more fuel economical vehicle”. This statement came as a rude shock for Prem, he immediately resisted, “But malkin, this is not possible, I have to bring so much of stuff which is not possible to carry on bike, also I think Bindiya needs more practice on Gurgaon roads”. “Pls don’t try to teach me how capable Bindiya is, moreover driving bike with so much stuff is her problem not yours, do what I have said” Malti ordered in hard words and her eyes were saying that no more arguments are required. Prem agreed and gave a hatred look to Bindiya before leaving for his servant quarter. Bindiya then finished the entire work and left for day.

Next morning when Rahul got ready for his school a new problem stuck in. Murari announced that tyre is flat and it will take some 15 minutes to replace the tyre. Rahul hardly had time, without thinking for a second; he immediately called Bindiya and asked her to drop him to the school. She immediately rushed in to take the keys, while she was running out Prem interrupted her “Where are you going, there is so much work left”, “Rahul baba has to report to school on time so I have to drop him there, its bit urgent”, she replied. “Why don’t you join this house as driver also, if you are not interested in this job then pls quit, I sincerely don’t like this run away attitude of yours when you are most needed” Prem said in a rising voice. “Can we discuss this in the evening?” she replied and left the place keeping the discussion short. She then took out Pulsar with her usual style and confidence. Rahul immediately mounted on the pillion seat and sat so close to her that Prem was left in fumes. As obvious Rahul again adored every single move of Bindiya, she had taken her morning bath few minutes back and mild fragrance of soap used was also coming with the wind that was flowing and hitting Rahul. When they reached school, he gave a light hug to Bindiya to say good bye and express his gratitude. The seen was total replica of what we see in the movies when hero drops heroine after having a great date. “Hey Rahul” both Rahul and Bindiya got distracted by this sudden voice; it was the voice of Rahul’s best friend Mohit. In few seconds Mohit joined both of them on his Activa. Mohit used to come to school on his Activa, he parked his vehicle just beside them and after initial greetings he looked at Bindiya hinting Rahul to introduce her. Rahul then introduced her “Well she is Bindiya, my latest but best friend”. But Mohit was not convinced since the clothes which Bindiya was wearing were no where explaining her status similar to that Rahul, he further carried on “But how come she is here?”, he also started feeling a bit inferior to her since he being male was on Activa and Bindiya was supporting idle Pulsar. Rahul was standing unfazed and replied confidently “Pls Don’t go on her attire, she is much superior to us and I am lucky to have such a nice friend, lets go inside I will explain everything to you”. Rahul then bid final goodbye to Bindiya, who then started Pulsar in her usual style and left the place. Mohit in the mean time was only looking at her style and kept watching her till she disappeared “What a lady, can’t God create more of such ladies. Rahul I really envy you man” were few words which Mohit uttered in appreciation. Rahul felt proud of his choice and both friends went inside.

When Bindiya returned back she was welcomed by a hatred look from Prem. She preferred top keep quite and both completed their work quietly for the remaining day. In the evening when she went to Rahul’s room for delivering glass of milk, Rahul was very excited, he added “You know Bindiya, your solution has made me maths champion in the school, and my teacher was very much impressed since no one else was able to solve even half of the exercise. I am highly thankful to you; pls keep me helping this in future”. He then hugged her again showing his gratitude. Bindiya replied “It’s my pleasure Rahul baba, as promised I am always there to help you in the way you prefer” she replied. Rahul further added “You know Bindiya, when I told what ever I know about you to Mohit, he too have become huge fan of yours, he was saying that he is ready to do anything so that you can accept friendship with him also”. Bindiya was not much comfortable on hearing this idea “Rahul baba, I am still a small town girl and don’t know how you approach towards life, I have no problem in talking to anyone but I am not aware or know this friendship funda in detail, please excuse me but you are everything for me and I can’t create a place for anyone else” she replied. Rahul said “Ok baba, I am not arguing or forcing you, it’s your wish, but please don’t change your attitude for me in your life” with that he again gave a small hug to say good night to her.

After finishing all her daily activities she went to her servant quarter where Prem was waiting for her. On seeing her entering home Prem said sarcastically “Welcome only Bike driver of Gupta family”. Bindiya replied “Prem, what has happened to you, why are you behaving like this, have I committed a crime if I know how to drive bike” she tried to clear the sky but Prem was unfazed. “Yea Madam, I know you are perfect driver and you know how to handle the mean machine, but it doesn’t mean that you start ignoring your husband and get pally with others” he added. “What are saying Prem, I always treat you above others, I always help you, I know you are great cook so I try to get other things in order, I think you are developing some wrong notations about me, believe me you are my first priority and I am ready to do anything to win your heart” came the Bindiya’s reply. “Then leave Rahul, promise me that you will not talk to him any more and also promise that you will not touch that bloody pulsar again” Prem preferred to arrive at point rather than carrying on argument. “Well if this your condition, then I am sorry I can’t leave both, it is upto you that how you are taking our relationship but I can assure you that Rahul respects me a lot and I really feel pity that you are doubting our relation”. Prem and Bindiya then went to sleep without any further discussion hinting that coming time will be more turbulent for both of them especially Prem.
