Her New Room

' Huh ? What sweetheart ? ' Chote papa asked

' Don't you dare to sweetheart me . Can't you two understand she doesn't like all this thing . We could have call them in our house and introduced Abhay and Mrinal to the outer world . If she would have freak out due to all chaos ? You know na she is very introvert and calm person . You did wrong . '

Abhay got up from his chair and went to his angry mother , kneeled down in front of her and softly said ' choti ma you know you look more pretty when you become angry . '

Devika glared him and slapped his shoulder . Abhay made a fake ' Ouch . That hurts . ' and got a reply ' It should . '

Then Abhay continued ' choti ma If we would have called them in our house then all will know that we are doing it . And it will be perfect for us , for her and to other's accusations . But your dear daughter will never like if I would call for press conference to declare our marriage she wouldn't have spare me . Poor me . '

Devika ' But Abhi , Vishal [ Chote papa ] don't do this again . She will not like all these . '

Both of them nodded their head . Vishal then said ' But how did you know all this ? And don't worry about all these . We were ready with our team if something serious or bad comes up . Though we asked only for 50 reporters but you know your son is so popular that . Well rest you know . '

Abhay ' Yes Choti ma we asked 50 persons only . But .. '

Devika ' But what ?

Vishal ' You know . They ask no actually they throw questions like weapons . But your son answered all questions that way one should . ' and smiled warmly .

Well all the questions were answered properly . But the confusion was there they didn't arrange anyone . Yes it wasn't their plan . Hell 50 is far away they didn't ask anyone . Vishal called him to inform that the those two bodyguards were there who were appointed for Mrinal . He wanted to introduce them so that they can be friends . It became necessary when he came to know that Mrinal doesn't have any friend in her college . He wanted them to introduce themselves as they will ask well only the girl will ask some notes from Mrinal . After knowing that Mrinal didn't get her notes he thought that making them friends will be easy now as the girl will provide required notes to Mrinal . But nothing happened like as planned . Abhay didn't react in front of them . He knows how to handle this kind of situation . About the matter of telling others they already planned a grant reception after her exams .

And Vishal deliberately whispered to let Devika know . He knew his wife will surely ask about all this chaos . And more than that she will start her investigation by asking thousands of questions if she got slightly suspicious . They were only discussing about the matter only .

After more chit chatting Devika left to check Mrinal before sleeping . Vishal and Abhay started talking about the matter . This time he is more furious than he ever was . First that phone call , threat and today who called media . All the questions were eating him alive . But his gut feeling was saying behind all of these one person is responsible . Even behind the abducting kids from his orphanage is the same person . But the person who was working for that villain was skinned alive after giving all the information . Now when Abhay will get a hold on that person he will show him LIVING HELL .

*****************************************

Mrinal came back from balcony after spending sometimes alone . She felt more relaxed there as she is more interested in nature . Her room was of white colour . Well she noticed her room in the evening when she came back . She kept her canvas properly after unwrapping it . She was little bit scared and terrified still after reaching home . But she made herself strong remembering his words what he said in the morning . She will not look down because people are gossiping around about her . That's why she nodded her head in yes in Abhay's question happily without her knowledge . During dinner she was overwhelmed having Aloo posto . But after knowing that Choti ma made it for her happiness that too learning from her mother she was super happy .

Coming back from there she went to change her cloth . She put on her night dress and came back . She didn't notice her walk-in closet till now cause she took her night cloths from her trolley .

She started doing some sketches . She was busy in her works when Choti ma came and knocked . She opened the door and welcomed her inside . She came and said ' Drink this milk fast . Then only I will go to sleep . ' handing her . She took it and said ' I .. I ' well she stammered .

Devika ' I know you don't like it . But you have to . '

She made a fake angry face but our innocent Mrinal being herself drank it in one go . Then she pinched her nose and said ' You are really cute . Now restart your study . But don't be much late . Good night . ' and then kissed her forehead . Mrinal smiled and said ' I will sleep after sometimes and good night . '

Devika left and Mrinal went to her works . She was busy in her works for 1 hour . It was not that much late . Still she got up as she was tired . She wanted to go to balcony which became her favourite place . But couldn't thinking if she lost in this huge mansion . Then she thought ' Mira tor bedroom tai ektu ghure dekha jak . '[ Mira lets see your bedroom ]

She went towards her closet and rolled her eyes and said to herself ' O god this one is bigger than the previous one . This man ufff ! One day I will take them out and give them to those children whom I saw sitting on the stairs of Temple . '

She literally had a tour of her own bedroom and she was impressed with it . Though it was not like her previous bedroom she liked it .

Suddenly her eyes went to something which made her heart jolted in happiness . It was her Tanpura . She can't believe it how it came here . IT was same as her one but a new one . She came towards it and touched it . She doesn't know how to react it was one of the most precious things , very close to her heart . She kneeled down , took it in her arms and literally kept it near her chest . She was so unhappy when she couldn't bring it Mumbai . But now she felt like solace . She placed her lips on the Dandi [ neck ] of the Tanpura and few drops fell down from her eyes . After hugging it for sometimes she got up . She went to her bed and laid on it . She closed her eyes and kept thinking how it can come here . Moreover who brought this new one for her same as he has in her bedroom in Kolkata . She was sure as her Tanpura was inside her cupboard and Abhay shouldn't know that . She thought ' Maybe that mafia asked from someone from my family . Everyone knows about it . '

Actually it was true Abhay came to know about it from Adi and Barsha as he saw a tanpura for the first time . He didn't even know its name . He came to know about it and also that Mrinal was unhappy as she couldn't take this precious thing with herself to Mumbai . After that he ordered it same as she has .

She dozed into deep slumber . She somehow liked her new room and its decoration . She becomes happy with simple things and same goes for this time .

*******************************************

Abhay came out of his office . The smile on their faces was clearly telling that they planned something big . Abhay becomes totally cold hearted when it comes about his opponent .

When Vishal asked ' Are you sure this will work ? '

Abhay said ' Yes it will . I won't spare that coward . He has to pay for it . ' with his signature smirk . And Vishal understood his determinacy .

He bid good bye to his father and went directly to his wife's room . He silently open the door and went inside . Coming near her bed he saw Mrinal sleeping with a smile . Abhay kept looking at her bright face . She was sleeping peacefully under the duvet covering herself till her nose .

I wish I could tell you how much I love you my sparrow .

I wish I could give you a wedding you wish for .

He sat on her bed beside her . He placed his lips on her forehead and whispered in her ears ' I love you , my beauty . '

He ran his fingers inside her hair soothingly . Mrinal felt relaxed feeling his fingers in her sleep . After sometimes he thought ' I should leave . ' and then he left unwantedly .
