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.
“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.
