24. Is Swati kidnapped or sold?

[October 13, 2016 – Morning 2 am]

Everyone had slept, but Sonakshi is reading a small novel and she is getting lost in that. The guy (Shaheer Sheikh) who sits opposite to her seat is wondered to see a girl who is completely lost in a book and she didn’t give attention to a handsome hunk sitting in front of her.

He is wearing a orange shirt and a navy blue pants. His physique is well-built and although he is a kind of introvert still he is more proud of his captivating personality. And at the same time, he is attracted to her attitude, no diversion while reading and completely involved in that book. He wished to interact with her but don’t know how to initiate. He is gazing at her deeply. He coughs a little louder, but she didn’t give a look.

He – “Hello, are you Prerna?”

Sonakshi’s eyes were now on the guy who interacted with her.

She looks at him amused. She answers – “No, I am Sonakshi.”

He – “By the way, I am Dev. There is a logic that if we say one’s name wrong, they will say their correct name.”

Dev smiles and Sonakshi look at him amused.

Sonakshi – “Oh.”

Dev – “A beautiful girl is sitting in front of me. I think there is no mistake in knowing her name, isn’t it?”

Sonakshi – “How can you conclude that looks only determine whether I am beautiful or not?”

Dev – “Correct. But for every guy, their favourite girl looks beautiful for them.”

Sonakshi – “Boss… You are saying beautiful… Liking me… What is all this?”

Dev – “Why should I fear for telling the truth?”

Sonakshi – “Oh! So,  Will you tell the truth like this to every girl?”

Dev laughs naughtily – “It is not possible to say truth to every girl, isn’t it? More or less, girls never like the truth.” He shrugged.

Sonakshi – “Even if girls like, many boys do not speak truth, right?”

Dev – “I don’t know about other boys and I’m not like other guys but, I am speaking now the truth.”

Sonakshi – “Every guy say the same, like I am completely different from other boys… But the at the end, the only difference is in the words you’re using.”

Dev – “Every boy is trying to be different with their girl, but girls are the one who converts the different one into an usual one.”

Sonakshi – “We are the same girls who made boys to achieve something too.”

Dev’s phone beeps. He attends the call and asks him to call him later and reasoned that he was at an important meeting and Sonakshi is listening. He cuts and looks at Sonakshi.

Sonakshi – “First of all, I don’t like people who lie.”

Dev – “Oh my god! It is so rare to get a crowd less free coach and it is even rarer to see a beautiful girl like you. So, I don’t want to waste the opportunity”

Sonakshi – “Oops! I got stuck  with a mental now.”

Dev – “We have to go hospital to get the baby born. Like this only, we have to go by train to achieve our love.”

Sonakshi gives him a confused look along with a stare.

Sonakshi – “Oh my god! My head is pressurized now.”

Dev – “Sorry Sonakshi. Dialogue comes out of flow.”

Sonakshi – “Okay, so what do you want now?”

Dev – “See, beating around the bush is not my cup of tea .”

Sonakshi interrupts – “You are doing only that by now.”

Dev – “Okay. Let it be. I don’t want to waste by bringing flowers at all. I love you, Sonakshi.”

Sonakshi – “What? Are you pranking me?…. Seriously! In what courage did you speak all this?”

Dev – “Simple. If I had been silent, I could not have said my feelings to you and it remained one-sided. That courage makes me speak like this.”

Sonakshi – “Men are getting everything in haste, right?”

Dev – “Haste or late, whatever we get, we have to be trustworthy for it. That’s been important”

Sonakshi – “Many men are not trustworthy now, Dev.”

Dev – “Everyone wish to confess their love as soon as possible. I did the same, Sonakshi.”

Sonakshi – “Dev, but we had just met now and you are having love at first sight. How is that possible first of all? Till now, I don’t have feelings for you and then how could I love you? We don’t even know whether we would cross again in our paths”.

Dev – “I start to believe love at first sight only after seeing you. So, I have to ask the question for you. I just confessed my feelings now and you may take time to develop feelings moreover, I didn’t ask you regarding that. About the last sentence, you are right. I don’t know whether we meet or not. But I wish to walk with you throughout the life. I wish you won’t go away from me.”

(Song plays) After completing the sentence, Dev looks at Sonakshi. Sonakshi gets into the thinking and looks at him. She was attracted by his words, but still she doesn’t know what to reply. She didn’t believe in love-marriage due to some peculiar reasons. His words start to affect her.

Though she tried to give counter replies, she couldn’t forget his words which have deep meanings. She knew that how Arjun fought with Rakesh for Shefali and she was aware of Naina’s affection for Sameer. Still, she fears to get into the big commitment and responsibility. She looks through the window, the cool breeze gets into her eyes.

Then she looks at Dev. Still, his eyes are on her. She wishes him ‘Good night’. She closed the novel and looks through the window where as Dev lays to sleep.

Sonakshi: That night has changed my perceptions on love. I never thought Love at First Sight is possible. 

Naina: That depends on the fate, Sonakshi. For someone, love at first sight is possible, for someone, love at recent sight also won’t work. 

Preeti: Finally, The Chennai trip made Didi (sister) to find Jiju (Brother-in-law).

[Morning 7 am]

Naina and Agarwals reached the destination, i.e Chennai Railway Station. Dev and Sonakshi just get down from the trains wheras others take the lead. Dev and Sonakshi parts in opposite side. Dev turns back and look at Sonakshi.

Rang Rahi hoon

Yeh Kaise Rang mei

Mai Nahi hoon Khud Apne hi Bas me

Sonakshi gives him a warm smile. 

Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi…

Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi…

Dev waves his hands.

Ta na naa… Aaa… aana..

Ta na naa…

*KRPKAB flute*

Sonakshi and Dev leaves seeing their respective directions.

Rakesh, Naresh, Anand, Bela, Pooja leaves in the first auto which is followed by another auto where Naina, Preeti, Sonakshi, Beena are there.

Beena – “Thank god!  We already have a old house here which is not sold by the elders. Otherwise, we might have to stay with Pooja’s in-laws in their house. What will the society think about us?”

Naina thinks – “There are many problems in the world but for my taiji, this is a problem.” She sighs.

Preeti and Sonakshi gave her a understanding look at Naina.

The Agarwals reached their old house. Naina messages Sameer about the same. Naina thinks, “I need to find a way to escape from them so that Preeti and I go with Sameer, Munna and Pandit to search Swati.”

Two hours later,

Munna, Naina, Sameer, Preeti and Pandit come to the park where Priyanka asked them to come. Priyanka kneels down and is crying miserably. Naina could not figure out what happened but something bad had happened. Munna managed to calm her. Priyanka trembles and Naina and others could not understand. They managed to try make her normal. She narrated what happened earlier.

[FB: Swati and Priyanka (Swati’s mom) came to the place where Uday and his wife  Shakuntala asked them to come through phone. They instructed them that one guy will come there and he would give shelter for them. The guy comes and takes them to a house. Swati begs Priyanka not to arrange the marriage. Priyanka was also not interested in arranging marriage but both were now homeless. Thus she has no choice to decide further. She asked Swati to get ready to see her match. Swati reluctantly gets ready.

After few minutes, a man in formals come inside who is almost 50 years of age. The guy looks decent and introduces himself as Rajesh, the groom of Swati. Swati and Priyanka stands confused and shocked. Swati’s blood boils seeing her mother and bua’s choice. Swati lashes out at Rajesh and Priyanka for choosing such a groom. Priyanka too supports Swati. Rajesh gets angry and starts to behave abusively to both. He pushes Priyanka to fall on floor and drags Swati’s hands and calls his goons. Suddenly, from the upstairs, some goons come and drag Swati to a truck. Priyanka runs out of the house to escape from Rajesh and he follows them. But Priyanka escaped]

Munna – “Aunty, you are conscious of not making your daughter marry me, but yourself landed her in danger. Don’t know who is he and how can we find her?”

Priyanka cries.

Sameer – “I have filed a complaint but still we need to take some stand. Don’t worry, Munna. We can find her.”

Pandit – Is it possible to get contacts from Uday Uncle.”

Priyanka nods and dials them and manages to get the number of the one who took them to the house. After constant search activities, with the help of the people who reside at Chennai, the guys find out that Rajesh is the prime member of brothel and clubs.

Munna – “Aunty, couldn’t you hear what they said? You sold your daughter to a brothel?”

Munna shouts at her and Priyanka was shattered

Priyanka – “I never thought Bhai and Bhabhi would be so careless and selfish to make my daughter married. I am the biggest sinner who made her break all ties with you and Naina.”

She cries miserably followed by Preeti and Naina.

Pandit – “It is almost 7 pm. We shall search in bars now.”

Priyanka – “Yeah, but we don’t know its location. How can we do that?”

Munna – “Aunty, please don’t come with us and strain yourself. I make sure that your daughter would return safe. Please go to Poonam aunty’s house now.”

Sameer – “Yeah, please stay here in the park. Devandh Bhai would come soon. Please…”

Sameer, Naina, Munna, Preeti and Pandit leaves.

Swati is locked in a room and she leans near the door crying. Some other girls are doing make-up for their face and gets sympathised for Swati. One of the makes Swati to stand up and touch her chin and ask, “Beti, there is no use of crying. It is your duty to get used of. We also crossed such situation.”

Swati – “What and where to get used of.”

Another lady – “Fulfilling our guest’s s*xual desires.”

Swati could not digest her words. She kneel down and cries. She understood now, where she landed in, is a brothel.

One of the ladies tell, “We were actually from Kolkata. Today, we were landed here as new guest is going to visit the brothel. So, after this day, you would come with us to Kolkata. Maybe, shifts can change for each lady. Maybe you can go foreign countries also.”

Swati was shaken to the core.
