lizz ka res se xtreeme puraana rishta hai... so here is a song
tera mujhse pehle ka naata koi
yun dil nahi lubhaata koi
jaane tu ya jaane ne
maane tu ya maane na
Boys' Locker Room , Mount College
Embracing Abhay as though never to let go , her arms tightened around his neck, Piya kisses Abhay back as he almost suffocates her with his passionate and possessive hug. Piya feels this oneness with Abhay as though it had come after an entire lifetime. The familiar scent of his breath – cinnamon and balsam, his protective arms around her as though shielding her from all the cold winds, the ice blue of his eyes melting like a glacier into her, his tender on her mouth , telling her just why she can never get Abhay out of her. Abhay lets go of her mouth and looks at her face with the most tender expression on his face – all his rigid sharp handsome features melting like a spoonful of whipped cream. He touches her face – her forehead, her eyes, her nose, her cheeks and his fingers come to rest on her lips. He suddenly looks very disturbed as though he is not sure what he is feeling. Piya thinks he is going to start crying any moment because he simply doesn't know what is happening or why he is doing what he is doing. As tears well up slowly in his other wise harsh proud eyes , Piya feels a lump in her own throat and she feels her whole body trembling. Piya is unable to handle Abhay's confused vulnerability. She throws her arms around Abhay and hugs him as though there is nothing more precious to her in this whole world than him. She bursts into tears and sobs like a child, burying her face into the side of his neck like she used to . Abhay hugs her back and he finds tears rolling down his cheeks as he unconsciously pats the back of her head , resting his cheek on her head. He can feel Piya's whole body shaking due to her sobs and he feels a strange heaviness in his own dead heart. And its then that dj vu happens with Abhay as he closes his eyes with Piya in his arms.
Flash : Hazy images of a man kissing and hugging a woman – the man leaving the woman and going away- the man following another woman down a staircase in a dark cave….
Abhay's eyes fly open in horror and his arms loosen around Piya. WHAT WAS THAT! ……Who was that man? That girl? That other woman? Who did I see going down a staircase? …He looks at Piya in his arms and a familiar feeling strikes Abhay inside. Piya……this girl has been in my arms before. I have… I have kissed her before? But how is that possible? Am I hallucinating ?
Abhay lets go of Piya slowly , his mind still in turmoil and the images hammering at the back of his head. He steps back from Piya in a shocked state, letting go of her hands. He looks at Piya's tearful pensive face as he moves away from her. Piya's eyes are fixed on him with a longing that he can neither read nor define and he feels something wrong in moving away from her. Abhay finds a question rising in him and finding way to his mouth.
Abhay ( shocked at himself and the questions inside him)- I have kissed you….not just today. It has happened before between us….I have held you in my arms before. This …. This surge of passion is familiar . I know it……there was another woman…..some staircase…..i walked down it but…I cannot place anything right.
Piya's expressions go from absolute love and longing to absolute horror. HELL NO! This is not possible….just not possible. DJ VU! Abhay is having Dj vu ! How can he? Anushka's magic is IMPERVIOUS. Nobody can penetrate the magic of a sapphire witch . And what did I just do? I kissed him back! Kissed him back with twice the passion that he had. PIYA! What did the hell did you just do? Piya is just looking at Abhay's face with the most helpless and foolish expression.
Abhay ( looking at Piya )-Why do I suddenly feel that there is something that I should know and I don't know? …. ( Piya just stands like a statue not meeting Abhay's eyes)….are you into witchcraft or something that you are playing with my mind?
Piya ( finally finding her voice and wiping her tears )- No…you are just imagining , Abhay. We have never been this close before. You have never kissed me before…..never.
Abhay is looking at Piya with distrust and suspicion as he steps away farther and farther from her , his eyes never leaving her face.
Abhay ( looking into her eyes )- Something is wrong…..majorly wrong and I will find out what it is. I cannot trust you. I must trust my own heart.
He turns to leave but stops.
Abhay ( without looking at her )- As ridiculous as it sounds, I now know that you love me. With every single thread of flesh in your body …..not that stupid sissy who writes you those wannabe poetic letters. Now, that we both know the truth , don't lie to me again. Don't deny what you feel for me even though it is totally immoral and wrong on our…. I mean, your part. And if you ever play hypocritical and prudish with me , trust my word , this kiss was just a part of prelims.
Abhay , his whole head throbbing with the storm inside him , storms out of the locker room. Piya is left anxious and alarmed , Abhay's scent still maddening her senses. She immediately takes out her cellphone from her skirt's pocket and calls up Zeenia.
Piya ( scared )- Zee! …..i screwed up so bad that we all are gonna FLUNK!
Bridge Road
Misha is driving back towards the main town in her car , speeding , her eyes fixed on the road – her mind accelerated and her blood still heating up from her encounter with Abheer. Misha's heart was still in a flutter. She couldn't believe that she had just been to hell and back. That Abheer had left her alive even though she had practically glided into his jaws. Her 40 minutes spent in his estate now seemed a near death experience. She had been so brave and feisty with him but only she knew that he had made her nerves freeze and she felt every minute that she was going to die – that Abheer wouldn't leave her alive. And those eyes. They seemed so calm and tranquil – like a placid lake……
Misha (changing gears )- Yeah, and mostly placid lakes hide the most evil crocodiles! I have never seen a more flawless evil than him. And he…. He knows everything . About all of us and he is going to…..( stops the car )… going to do what! My hands are still trembling. I – I should just tell everyone that he has arrived in town. The longer I keep it to myself , the more danger I pose to Abhay and others…. We have to find a way to deal with him.
Misha picks up her cellphone and dials the third number on her speed dial.
Misha ( on phone )- Sam! I have a RED ALERT.
Living Hall, Sambhav's House.
Misha is feeling like a lamb going under the butcher's knife as she sees all eyes on her – half in anger and half in shock. Sambhav and Abhay are looking at her in disbelief as though they cannot believe that she is still alive. Zeenia is filing her nails to perfect almond shape waiting for the whole drama to get over so that they can get to work. Piya is just blinking her eyes at Misha in horror just short of her jaw falling to the floor because of all the hanging. Chaand is pacing around thoughtfully while Haseena is drinking caviar after caviar to calm her nerves.
Misha ( breaking the silence )- Okay, now, stop looking at me like that. All of you. My nerves are still rattling worse than a rattle snake's tail from the encounter….( looks at Abhay )… just what did your parents gave birth to in the name of a man…oops… vampire? He can just kill people with his eyes , who needs fangs? ….( recalling his power of her and the kiss on the neck)… WHAT IS HE??????
Abhay ( sits down holding his head )- I knew it! That dream was not some random nightmare. It was a premonition , induced by Abheer to announce his arrival. He is back in my life…. ( seems anxious )…. Death and devastation are going to follow, He is going to drop each one of us one –by-one.
Sambhav ( shakes his head )- And he is not going to kill anyone with his fangs. He is going to use his HEAD.
Zeenia ( looking at her pretty hands )- Hell, yeah. And its not a head. It's a nuclear weapon. Devastation and destruction with a forever warranty.But what is the drama all about , dahlings? We all knew that the looker killer was on his way. We were ready for him, most of us were , right?
Piya ( looking at Chaand and Haseena )- We just have a vague idea that he wants Abhay but his plan?
Chaand ( thinking )- You can't guess his plans, Piya. Because he never has plans. He just turns everyone else's plan into his favour. We need to wait and watch how he goes about it. Any action taken now would be foolishness. Abheer knows that we will panic and create a whole fortress to protect Abhay and ourselves. He wants to terrorize us and that is why he scared the living daylights out of Misha but keft her alive.
Haseena ( looking at Abhay )- He will come to see you, ASAP.
Abhay ( his eyes going to Piya and she consciously avoiding his eyes )- Don't worry, Mom. I can deal with him when he comes – am not giving in to his emotional manipulations this time. Don't worry.…. Am just worried about the ones I care . He might harm her… I mean them. I mean, all of you.
Sambhav – No. I don't think so. Not yet, at least. If he has to harm any of us , he will do it only at the most critical point. You know what a sadist he is, right? He is a slow poison and he enjoys the kill till the victim doesn't dry out on his/her last drop of blood.
Zeenia ( taking the caviar from Haseena )- Do the unexpected. Abheer is expecting a reaction so that he can choose whose button to push and when . So,don't react. Let him come out in the open and we can gauge what the predator is upto….humph. If only he wasn't this gorgeous, it would be easy fun to kill him. What a waste if beauty on such an evil guy.
Sambhav – Its not funny, Zee. Abheer kills. He doesn't GET killed.
Abhay nods and he sees that Misha is a tad lost. Abhay can read her mind and he can sense that she is hiding something. And Abheer is in her mind. He gets up from his chair and sits in front of Misha , clicking his fingers in her face to break her thought reverie. He looks into her eyes and she blinks her lovely doe eyes at him.
Abhay ( looking at her deeply )- Why are you thinking about Abheer? Its not hatred that you are feeling. I sense a resistant tenderness.
Misha is stunned to see Abhay read her mind and heart like a book and all eyes turn in her direction again.
Sambhav ( instantly )- Resistant tenderness? For Abheer? How can it be? He almost fed her to Rottweiler dogs! And its ABHEER we are talking about.
Chaand and Haseena look at Misha too and they seem to resonate the same reading as Abhay.
Piya ( innocently puzzled )- Abhay, Sam is right. Why would Misha even think about Abheer when she knows who he really is?
Abhay ( looking at Piya pointedly )- Women often not only think about the men they are not supposed to think about , but feel as well. And I know my brother very well.
Piya gets the sarcasm and looks at Zeenia who signals her to just keep shut and not instigate Abhay further. Just keep quiet.
Chaand ( looking at Misha )- Abhay is reading you right, Misha. What is it? Is there something that you should tell us?
Haseena ( alarmed )- Excuse my ugly thought and language , but, child, did he…. I mean did he do something to you?
Sambhav ( angry and worried )- Did something happen between the two of you? DAMN! I should have known ,man! Its Abheer we are talking about. Misha? ANSWER!
Abhay ( calmly holding Misha by the shoulders ) – Don't be afraid, Misha. We are not going to blame you for anything or judge you. Just tell me what happened a Abheer's place. What is going on inside you. You trust me, right?
Misha ( her face crumbling into a babyface )- Abhay…. I – I really don't know how to put this to you. I mean, am so fuzzy in the head and in my nerves about all this. But….Abheer…( shrugs her shoulders )….there is an abnormal , no, paranormal magnetism to him. You know, in my mind , I knew and I know how dangerous he was but….he had this complete control over me and my senses. He did not hurt me , Abhay. But my mind was screaming at me that he is a loose cannon and can snap my neck anytime….( recalling her close moments with him)….but as cheap a floozie I might sound to you, I now realize that everytime he held me… I …( looks at Sam who looks absolutely scandalized ) …I did not want to get away from him….( looks at everyone )….and he… he kissed me on my…my neck. …( suddenly feels ashamed of herself )… please don't hate me.
Sambhav ( shell shocked )- Did you, like, get out of your mind? Abheer kissed you? I mean, he kissed you? And you stood like a white lamb?
Misha ( immediately recalling Abheer's crooked grin that made her go weak in the knees )- Don't call me that! I hate the word 'lamb'! …..am being honest and as you can figure out , am not exactly proud of my actions! …( looks at Abhay and shrugs her shoulders helplessly )…. It wasn't me. It was something inside me….
Abhay looks at Chaand , Haseena and Zeenia and they look at him as though concurring his thoughts.
Abhay ( calmly )- We don't hate you, Misha. We are not judging you either. Its not your fault. It was not something you did consciously or at your own will. Its Abheer…..( he gets up)…..Abheer's powers are above any normal vampire's. That's because he doesn't feed on human blood. Or animal blood.
Piya ( taken aback)- What? But he is a vampire . How can he not live on blood?
Zeenia ( rolls her eyes)- Chill, Curly. He doesn't live on Spring Water of Swiss Alps, obviously.Abhay said that he doesn't feed on the blood of human beings or animals. But blood it is.
Misha ( curiously )- Then, what blood?
Abhay ( with a faraway look in his eyes as though going into the past)- Supernaturals. He feeds on the blood of supernaturals – vampires, witches, warlocks, wizards, sorcerers and sorceresses , werewolves. He has the blood of a zillion supernaturals running in his veins. And that blood gives him a central magnetism . In simpler words ,he can use his energy to control the other person without having to compel , hypnotize, bite or work on it. All that magical vitality glares out from his eyes – that is why his eyes are a magnetic field in their own right. People do what he wants them to do……( looks back at Misha)…..Abheer doesn't trap or hypnotize minds like the rest of the vampires do. He mesmerizes hearts, Misha. You feel filled with this sudden drug like warmth emanating from him and it binds you. Abheer can trap any human being without even lifting a finger…..simply because magic runs in his blood- all he has to do is to concentrate the power of supernaturals in his blood into his eyes and look at you. Your only consolation is that he does not feed on human-beings. Just snaps their necks.
Sambhav ( looking disturbed )- That is why he is neither a Bolshva , nor a Czen nor any other genus of vampires. He is a vagabond vampire. He compels hearts, not minds. Damn him! You are just plain lucky Misha that he didn't bed you….sorry for sounding so crass but am still reeling under the horror of what he could have done to you!...Just get your neck detoxed!
Sambhav clearly hates the thought of Abheer touching Misha and the visual of the kiss is making him want to either puke or dryclean Misha's neck.
Misha ( looks scared and anxious )- You both mean that he can do it again? You mean, he can even maneuver my feelings for him?
Abhay ( biting his lower lip in worry ) – Let me not keep you in the dark. Abheer can make you fall deeply in love with him and it would go beyond physical. He would ravage you right down to your soul…..that is the kind of trapping he can do.
Chaand – And you will actually start believing that the love is real.
Misha ( terrified)- No! I don't want to fall in love with him!
Sambhav ( calming her)- Chill! You won't…..( looking at Zeenia)….we have a way out.
Zeenia ( nods )- Yupp. We can save you from that hot beast's green pools and the attack of his haemoglobin.
Misha – How?
Zeenia ( looking at everyone )- Errm…who is on friendly terms with Miss.Tanushree Ambolkar here?
Everyone look at Sambhav who looks totally astounded at Zeenia's statement.
Sambhav ( puckering up his nose rather cutely )- Excuse me? Did I hear you right? What's Tanzie got to do with it?
Abhay – You mean T can help us save Misha from Abheer?
Zeenia ( dreamily fluttering her eyelashes )- Ohh, who wants to be saved from Abheer? I mean , just look at his shoulder blades and….( coughs on her statement)… ahem, I mean, all good girls need to be saved from big bad badass Abheer. And yep, we need T for that because I don't think any other Bolshva would be willing to help unless Abhay and Sambhav do a striptease for them. Hehe.
Sambhav ( rolls his eyes )- Okay, Zee baby. I will talk to T.
Zeenia ( getting serious )- Don't talk to her. Just talk her and get her to my house tonight before the full moon. We need to safeguard Misha against Abheer's magnetism and we need T for that. Okay?
Abhay ( looking at Piya )- And Piya? She needs to be kept a thousand miles away from Abheer as well. She is human.
Chaand ( interrupting )- Piya is safe from all supernatural evil. Nothing can harm her. The shield on her arm protects her. Abheer can't harm her.
Piya nods at Abhay with reassurance and even though he looks relieved, he gives her a suspicious cold stare. Just then, Chaand's cellphone rings and he looks alarmed. He signals everyone to keep quiet.
Chaand ( on the phone )- Yes, my lord….( pause)….it has reached us as well. No, not yet. He has not contacted us but the word is around about his arrival in Dehradun…..( pause)…..fine, my lord. We will be there.
He ends the call and looks at everyone.
Chaand – The whole clan is on a red alert. The powerscourt is sitting tomorrow on Abheer's matter. We have to be there – me , Haseena, Zeenia and Sambhav.
Zeenia ( dramatically )- Gah! To see those dull-as-a-dishwasher faces in that somber rock cave. Mummyyy!
Abhay ( offended and surprised )- Wait a second, Dad! Its about Abheer, right? Then, why am I not coming along with you? And what's Sam's business there? And Zeenia's? A werewold Chief and a Keeper witch at a Czen meeting?
Sambhav ( puzzled)- Exactly my question, Mr.Raichand. What is a werewolf's business at a Czen vampire meet? I don't get it.
Chaand ( shrugs his shoulders )- I don't get it, either. But Abhay , we cannot take you along. We can't go against the orders of powerscourt.
Abhay ( upset )- Whatever , Dad….( looks at a quiet Piya)…I have this strange fear that everybody is hiding things from me or keeping me in the dark. I have nothing to say. Do what you like.
Zeenia ( clearing her throat )- Umm…Piya, Misha. We should be leaving now. I have to prepare for the full moon ritual and before that we need to fool the Dobriyaals that Misha is staying at my place for some yet-to-be-cooked-stupid-reason.
Misha nods and gets up to leave. She stops in front of Sambhav who looks at her with a tender questioning face – concern written large in his grey eyes.
Misha ( like a child )- Sam, are you sure T will agree? I mean, we have no idea what Zee is going to ask her to do. And I….( her voice quivers)….i want to be saved from Abheer. I-I want to be able to resist him…
Sambhav ( presses her arm with assurance )- Don't worry, Mish. I know T. She will not say no to me and I have that intrinsic faith in her and my….feels odd to say it…my relationship with her. And there is no way, Abheer can lay his beastly hands on you. Okay? Wait for me and T.
Misha nods and goes out , following Zeenia who is screaming at some boutique owner for sending her a skirt that dares to cover her thighs. Chaand and Haseena stay back to speak to Sambhav. Abhay and Piya walk out together.
Abhay ( gripping her arm)- Just because Abheer has popped in to give me hell or I have to save Misha from him, it doesn't mean I have forgotten the aftermath of our kiss in the locker room. I meant every word that I said. I know there is something that I don't know……and I will find out what. Get it?
And leaving Piya's arm with a jerk , the old unrest rising in his eyes, he goes away. Piya looks at Zeenia who is standing with Misha near the car. And they both think the same thing….ANUSHKA!
TO BE CONTINUED…….
