Same madness

Rani hurriedly came out after realising what kusum just said. She came out saw rajveer was holding kusum's ear and scolding her.

"Bht bolne lagi hai tu ajkl, ruk kal hi mausi se keheke teri shadi pakka karvata hu, ruk tu"

"Ahhhh, bhai,,,,choro na, sorry galati ho gayi"

Rani undertood everything and interrupted in between..

"Rajveer, chor do use"

"Nhi ma, kuch bhi bolti reheti hai,,kal ko main kisi female officer ke sath ghar ayunga tab agar isne aisa kuch mazak kar diya toh?"

Rajveer finally left her. Kusum makes a pout.

"Mausi, aap hi batao, rajveer bhai kabhi kisi ladki ko ghar leke ay hai? Nhi na? Toh mujhe laga ki yeh bhai ki girlfriend hogi"

Rajveer again scold her with his angry eyes..

Now, rani looked at naina. She has already became red like a tomato. She was standing by looking into floor.

Rani came near naina,

"Andar ayo beta,,,,vese raj yeh hai kaun?"

Kusum- ha ha bolo bolo......

Still she is in a mood to tease.

Rajveer ignored her.

Raj- ma, yeh naina hai,,,actually yeh academy join karnevali hai dr. Shalini ki assistant banke,,,,aur aj ek misunderstanding ki vaje se bc ne naina ko kma se nikal diya,,,par kal tak sab kuch clear ho jayega, toh mujhe laga ki aj raat ke liye naina ko yaha leke ayu...

Rani- bht accha kiya.....

Kusum also smiled.

Ku- bilkul...main kitni bore ho rahi thi,,,aj naina ke sath dher saari baatey karungi...kyu naina?

Naina smiled a little....

Rani suddenly noticed that naina is all wet.

Rani- tum toh puri tarah se geli ho gayi ho naina.....kusum ise andar leke ja aur change karne ke liye kapre de....aur raj tu bhi change kar le..

Raj- nhi mom, main academy laut raha hu.....kal subah ake naina ko leke jaunga...

Naina looked abruptly towards rajveer. She don't want him to go.

Naina- mat jayiye....

Suddenly this slipped out of her tongue which makes everyone surprised....

Rajveer looked at her questionably. The way she said to stop him was really something.

Naina realised her mistake and again she became embarrassed.

Naina- wo...mera matlab tha.....matlab...mera wo matlab nhi tha...wo aap log mujhe aise mat dekhiye.....mera sachme.....wo....main....mera...matlab...

Suddenly rani and kusum broke out in laughter......rani patts her back....

Rani- aisa kya kehe diya tumne naina? Bass raj ko rukne ke liye kaha na...isme itna sharmane vali kaun si baat hai? Tum hume nhi janti toh sayed tumhe thora uncomfortable lag raha hoga,,,,par fikar mat karo main mere is nalayak bete ki tarah kisiko itni asani se judge nhi karti.....

Both rajveer and naina looked surprisingly at rani......

Rani- aise kya dekh rahe ho tum dono? Mujhse kuch nhi chupta....

Raj- ohhhhhh doc........

Rajveer mumbled under his breathe....

Kusum also smiled. She also knew all these. She deliberately pulled rajveer's leg. She loves to make him angry. Actually shalini called rani and she told everything to her. She was mad at rajveer, so she spoke her hearts out to rani. Shalini is very close to rajveer's family.

Kusum took naina with her. Rani looked at rajveer..

Rani- kam se kam khana khake toh ja...is waqt suriji ke mess me kuch nahi milega...

Rajveer said hesitantly, while scratching his forehead..

Raj- wo...main soch raha tha ki.....i mean.....main ruk jata hu.......itni baarish me....

Rani's eyes widened and she suppressed a smile....

Rani- jaisi teri marzi beta...main khana garam karti hu.....

She left and rajveer took a sigh of relief...He doesn't know why but he can't able to ignore  naina's request. The way she looked at him and the way she stopped him, make rajveer's heart flutters. May be it was the guilt. He did very wrong to her. He judged her so easily. He should stay tonight.

They all were gathered on the dining table. Naina was sitting shyly. Though she was feeling very hungry, but she was feeling very shy to eat infront of them. Rani noticed that...

Rani- naina, khana start karo,,,wait kyu kar rahi ho?

Rajveer was busy in eating. His mother was a great cook, so whenever he ate her food, he was lost in a different world, so he didn't notice that naina was not eating.

Raj- ha naina,,,khao.....

Naina started to eat slowly, but she was very hungry, so after few seconds she started to take full spoon and hungryly shoved into her mouth.

Rani, kusum and rajveer noticed that. A smile crept on rani's face. She felt motherly affection for naina. Shalini also told her that naina is orphan, so tears appeared on her eyes after seeing naina eating like that.

Rajveer also looked at her surprisingly. She was looking damn cute while eating like that.

Naina- wo.....mujhe ek aur paratha chahiye.....

Naina said shyly.....

Rani happyly placed two parathas on naina's plate....

Naina- nhi aunty....bass ek....aur thora sa dahi....

Naina smiled shyly while asking for food. Rajveer smiled at her innocence. She is really very very naive.

Suddenly naina looked at rajveer and she saw that he was also looking at her. Rajveer immediately lowered his gaze and so was naina. But unknowingly naina felt goosebumps with that stare.

Kusum was showing naina the full house. It is a big house. She also came to know that rajveer bought this house today, and still the furnitures were not arranged properly. Kusum started to hang the photo frames on the wall. Naina started to help her. She was liking kusum and rani very much. After a long time she felt a motherly affection from rani. She has such a warmth in her gesture that makes naina so much comfortable. It was feeling like she knows them for a long time, this is not the first time they are meeting.

Ku- vese ab toh bhai ki shadi karvani paregi, itna bara ghar kharid liya hai, toh yaha mausi akeli thori na rahegi...

Naina's heart sanked with the mention of rajveer's marriage. She was feeling shocked with her own reaction. Why she suddenly felt a slight pain on her chest.

Naina- mmm.....kis se hogi shadi?

She asked hesitantly....

Ku- pata nhi....rajveer bhai bht zyada introvert hai,,,kabhi kisiko bhanak hi nahi lagne dete apne personal life ki...janti ho mausi ne dr. Shalini se bhi puch kayi baar, par vo bhi kuch nhi janti.....pata nhi unki koi girlfriend hai bhi ya nhi.....

Naina- mmmm....

Naina took a photo frame and hanged it on the wall lostly. After hanging the photo frame her eyes widened in shock and she started to tremble like a leaf out of fear. Sweat appeared on her forehead.

Veransh's photo with a baby boy. Naina was not believing her own eyes. Oh god!!!!

Kusum looked at naina.

Ku- kya hua naina?? Are u alright?

Naina looked at kusum and then at the photo frame.

Naina- yeh...ver....

Ku- yeh toh Ranveer uncle hai, rajveer bhai ke papa aur mere mausa ji......

Naina's eyes popped out after hearing that. What????? The man has 80% similarity with Veransh, the same nose, same eyes, same lips, same features, though he was not looking so cruel like Veransh. His features are little soft, infact kind.....

Naina pointed towards the photo with her trembling finger.

Naina- aur yeh baccha?

Ku- nhi pehechan payi na? Yeh toh rajveer bhaiya hai.....

Naina was extremely confused. How does it possible???? Veransh looked exactly same like him. Infact rajveer has no similarity with him, except his height and may be his forehead. Rajveer has more similarity with his mother. But??? Naina's head was spinning. She just wanted to run away as far as possible.

They are the same family, they has the same blood, same feature. Oh god??? Where she has gotten into??? Veransh has zero similarity with his own parents, he looked exactly like rajveer's father.

Ku- kaha kho gayi??

Naina's trance broke....

Naina- kuch nhi....

Ku- He was a true gentleman....rajveer bhai bilkul ranveer uncle ki tarah hi hai.....

Naina got another shock. She took few back steps and her back bumped with rajveer. She looked at rajveer with fearfull eyes, suddenly she got to see rajveer's face mixed with Veransh's cruel face.

Raj- tum abhi tak shoyi nahi naina? Kal subah nikalna hai hume kma ke liye...bhul gayi?

Naina just nooded her head and get away from rajveer immediately.

-----------‐------

"Plz jaane do mujhe, plz,,,,maine kuch nahi kiya,,,,plz thora sa rehem khao mujhpe"

Naina was crying and pleading badly. She has kept in a dark room. Someone has tightly roped her in chair. She was crying and screaming badly. She was feeling extreme fear. She was shivering badly. She don't remember anything. Last thing she remember that she was in rajveer's house. How she came here?? Who bring her here? And what is this place?

Suddenly the door slowly opened. Naina became alert with the sound. Her heart was heavily pounding against her chest. She heard a foot step.

Finally two men entered the room and her eyes were widened after seeing one of them.

Veransh....

A loud scream escaped from her mouth. Veransh was smilling evilly at her. He has a cruel smirk on his lips.

Naina started to struggle badly. Then she looked at the other man.

Rajveer....

Naina cried out loud....

Naina- rajveer sir.....mujhe bacha lijiye.....yeh mujhe maar dalega....plz.....sir.....main janti hu ki yeh aapka bhai hai, par yeh bht khatarnak hai.....plz help me.....plz.....

She was pleading and crying helplessly......

But Rajveer was silent.....

Naina- aap kuch bol kyu nahi rahe ho???? Aap chup kyu ho?

She screamed....

Suddenly Veransh came near her and caught the chunks of her hair and hissed at her...

Ver- tumhe mujhse koi nahi bacha payega jaan.....koi nahi.....

Naina was trembling like a leaf with his touch......This can't happen.....no...no.....may be it is a dream.......may be.....

Naina looked at rajveer. He was not there. He has gone...

Naina- rajveer sir............

She screamed...

Suddenly she felt someone's hot breathe near her neck. Veransh was standing infront of her, then who is standing behind her???

Naina looked back timidly and she met with those deep eyes. But this time those eyes were filled with cruelty and only evil.

Naina became scared.

Naina- sir.....

Raj- ssshhhhhh.....

Rajveer pressed his finger on her lips....

Raj- ekdam shant......

Naina then looked at Veransh, still he has the smirk on his face. Naina was not getting what is happening. Once she looked at Veransh and then at rajveer. They both were so close to her. Suddenly rajveer removed the ropes from her hands and legs.

Naina immediately ran towards the door, but a strong pair of hands immediately caught her by her waist.

Naina- nhiiiii.....plz.......

Already she was thrown into the hard floor. Her back was hurt badly, but the thing which hurt her the most is when she realised that rajveer has thrown her into the floor.

She tried to sat back, but rajveer pulled her legs and she came flat on the floor.

Then she saw rajveer and Veransh were standing side by side and taking slow predatory steps towards her. They were smirking evilly. Cruelty and evilness were written on their face.

Naina- plz mujhe jaane do...plz.....maine kya bigara hai???

She folded her hands....her heart was breaking with the cruelty of rajveer. She never thought that rajveer be that much cruel.

Raj- kya soch rahi ho naina???

Ver- yeh soch rahi hai ki yeh sab kya ho raha hai.....

They both laughed....Their laughing is not stopping. They were laughing like a beast.

Raj- naina,,,meri bholi naina,,,,hum dono bhai hai,,,ek hi khun behe raha hai hum dono ke rag rag me,,,hum dono ek hi jaise hai.....tumhe kya laga main alag hu?? Main isi ki tarah toh hu.....janwar......aur tum hum dono ki personal property ho....

Naina shut her ears  with her hands. She cannot able to bear those words.

Veransh and rajveer laughed loudly...

Ver- mere bhai ne bilkul sahi kaha......hum dono bilkul ek jaise hai......aur jaan tum hum dono ki ho......tum hum dono ki patni ho....hum teeno ki kismat judi hui hai......hum dono ne hi tumse shadi ki hai,,,aur ab hum dono hi tumhare sath.......

They keep coming near naina. They came so close. Naina was shivering badly. Her all body went numb. They both bent at her level. Rajveer put his hand on her waist and Veransh hold her face.

Nhiiiiiiiijiiiiiiiii....

Naina woke up from her dream. She was panting and breathing heavily. It took her sometime to realise that it was just a dream. She looked here and there out of fear. No, they are not here.

She drank the water kept on her side table in one go. Then she remembered the dream. It was so clear, it was seeming like a reality. Oh god!!!!!! What a horrible dream. She started to cry silently. No this will never happen. Rajveer is a true gentleman. This will never happen. But whenever the dream appeared on her mind she shivered badly.

--------------

Naina bid a good bye to rani and kusum. Rajveer was waiting for her near his bike. His jip's tier has damaged, so they have to go by the bike.

Naina was not meeting rajveer's eyes from the morning, she was scared what if she saw the same cruelty on his eyes which she encountered on her dream. Though she was mentally repeating that it was just a dream, nothing more, stop thinking so much, but still the dream is haunting her badly.

Rani smiled at her.

Rani- aati rehena....

Naina nodded and went near rajveer.

Rajveer was also noticing her behaviour from the morning. She is behaving oddly and ignoring him.

Rajveer sat on the bike. Naina sat behind him timidly.

Rajveer looked at her from side.

Raj- chaley?

Naina nooded her head slowly. She was looking at rajveer from back. No, he is not like Veransh, he is different. But naina can't ignore the fact they share the same genes of madness.
