21 Spotted
Part 21 Spotted
Aarav saw a girl coming to the Ashram. She looked so young and beautiful. Aarav's friends looked at Aarav meaningfully. Their eyes were full of lust. Rakesh came to Aarav and whispered,
"Aarav... Doesn't she kick your sense?"
Aarav was looking at the girl.
"She is tempting me of course but we are not in the position to think of girls. We have to be patience for a few days. But trust me, before we leave this place, she will be tasted by us"
Rakesh was disappointed. Yet, he had no choice other than waiting for the right time.
That was when Aarav's sight fell on Nani. She was happily talking to the Ashram head Mr. Devnath about Arnav's marriage and also how Khushi fought with his father.
"Is it? Did the girl fight for Arnav?" Dev asked unbelievably.
"Yes, Devji. Now days girls are so brave and understanding"
"They must be... In our time, we don't even get courage to talk to our parents" Dev said.
"Finally, Arnav's wedding fixed. I'm so glad about him." Nani said feeling delighted.
"When is the wedding?"
"Coming Friday, Devji"
"Oh... That means you won't be here on Friday"
"I too want to talk to you about it, Devji. I want to attend the marriage. Please don't put any pooja scheduled to me on Friday" Nani requested.
"Oh... Ok Devyaniji. I will manage the pooja with others"
"I am sorry for troubling you Dev Ji..."
"There is nothing called trouble. It's your grandson's wedding. You should attend it. Then what is the meaning of our life if we skip such happiness?"
"Thank you so much Dev Ji"
Aarav raised his brows. What made his Nani so happy? He was curious to know that. That was when, the name board of the Ashram with the phone number of the Ashram caught Aarav's eyes. He thought something. he noted the phone number. Coming to a hiding place, he called the Ashram's land line number.
Mr. Devnath attended the call who was with Nani.
"Hello, this is Shiv Sakthi Ashram..."
"May I talk to Mrs Devyani?"
"May I know who is speaking?" Dev asked looking at Nani.
"I am his grandson..."
"Oh... Congratulation..." Dev said delightedly, thinking that he was Arnav.
"Congratulations for what?" Aarav frowned.
"For your wedding..."
"Wedding?" Aarav shrank his eyes.
"Your Naniji told us that your wedding is fixed"
Aarav was confused. Whom he was talking about? Before he asked anything, Dev passed the phone to Nani.
"Devyani ji your grandson is on the line"
Nani gladly take the receiver and spoke.
"Hello Chhote..."
"This is not Chotte but Bade..." Said Aarav.
Nani was horrified, hearing that. She understood who was on the line. She needed a few seconds to made up herself.
"Naaaaniiii..." Aarav called.
"Aarav... You?"
"Yes, it's me..."
"The police said you are dead..."
"Who are they to declare my death?" He asked with attitude.
"Yeah, you are right. No one could do that" said, Nani.
"It seems your Chotte's wedding fixed..."
Nani was shocked. He should have connected the dots. Aarav got to know about Arnav's wedding. Her mind worked fast. He should not know about the exact details about Arnav's wedding. Thank God she was there when Dev attend his call. She knew what Dev spoke to him.
"Yes, his wedding fixed" she tried to be casual not showing her nervousness.
"When is his wedding?" he asked curiously.
"Next month" she lied.
"You are going to attend his wedding... Right?"
"How could I attend his wedding as it is going to held in Scotland?" she again lied.
"Scotland?"
"Yes... He is still in Scotland only. Don't you know that?"
"Oh... doesn't he get the courage to enter India?" She asked sarcastically.
"He is working as a professor in Scotland University. He is busy with his work. So, he didn't get time to come to India"
"Oh... That means the bride belongs to Scotland only?"
"Yes, Scotland settled Indian girl..." Nani said.
"Oh... won't he come to India after his wedding too?"
"As of now, he doesn't talk about coming to India..." Nani spoke to him carefully without giving any clue about Arnav.
"mmm"
"By the way where are you, Aarav? How did you get my Ashram number?" She tried to get something form him.
"I think you forgot one thing,"
"What?"
"I am Aarav... getting a phone number is not a big deal for me and I can be anywhere..." he disconnected the call.
Nani sighed. She noted the phone number from which Aarav called her because the landline phone had caller ID. Aarav was unaware of it. Otherwise, he would not have called her. She immediately called Arnav. He attended the call.
"Chotte..."
Arnav sensed nervousness Nani her voice.
"Nani, is everything alright?"
"Aarav called me..."
"Whaaaat? when?"
"Just now..."
"What did he say?"
"I'm sorry Chotte, he got to know about your wedding but I managed to tell him that you are in Scotland and your wedding it's going to be held in Scotland only"
"Did he say anything about his whereabouts?"
"I asked him but he didn't say. I noted his phone number"
"But how?"
"The ashram land line has caller id"
"Wow, that's great. Give me his number"
"Note it down"
"Yup"
Nani told him the number.
"Ok, Nani, I will call you later"
"Ok, be careful"
"Yeah..."
Arnav disconnected the call and looked at Khushi who was sitting in front of him.
"Aarav called Nani..."
"What...? But how did he know her number?"
"I too have the same doubt... Wait"
He called Aman. He attended the call.
"What made you remember me in between your shopping schedule?" Aman asked.
"Aarav called Nani..."
"Is it?" Aman asked.
"Yes, I sent the number to you. Check where is he"
Yeah..."
Aman disconnected the call. Arnav saw Khushi in a deep thought.
"What are you thinking?"
"Why did Aarav call Nani all of a sudden?"
Arnav became thoughtful. He was also thinking the same.
"Do you think he will be in the same place?"
"No. I don't think so but we can understand his whereabouts. We can search in the surroundings"
"Then our action should be faster"
"Yeah, that's why I immediately called Aman. He will find the area"
"Mmm..."
"Let's complete the shopping before Aman finds the area"
"No, you carry on..."
"But why?"
"It can't be completed quickly because I'm going to buy wedding jewelry"
Arnav rolled his eyes.
"Is it necessary to buy jewels?"
"Means?"
"However you are going to come to Scotland. We will not get a chance to wear jewels there. Then, why are you wasting money on jewels?"
"What do you think? Am I going to buy ancient design jewels? Many simple designs can be worn with modern outfits too..."
"Oh... I have no knowledge in that matter" he smiled.
"Soon, you will also become an expert in that matter" she laughed.
Arnav was looking at his watch again and again. He was waiting for Aman's call. He wanted to know Aarav's whereabouts. Khushi noticed it.
That was when Arnav received the call from Aman. He attended it in the first ring.
"Haan Aman... tell me"
"ASR, the signal range shows the Shiv Shakti Ashram"
"Whaaaat?"
"Yes, ASR... Aarav is in the Ashram" Aman said.
Arnav was shocked. Aarav was in the Ashram. Being in front of Nani, he intentionally called her to know about him.
"Aman, round up the Ashram," Arnav said.
"Yeah, the force is getting ready," Aman said.
"I'm also coming" Arnav disconnected the call and looked at Khushi. She blinked her eyes and permitted him to go to the Ashram.
