CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 2<br />

PROLOGUE<br />

She was there in him as the breath that he inhaled and exhaled…<br />

She was present in every thought of his…<br />

She was the darkness in his shadow…<br />

She was in his every mood and…<br />

She was there with him as a dream…<br />

She was his! But where was she?<br />

Why was she not with him!<br />

His love! His life! His destiny! Why did she never think for him…<br />

“There you go Prince!” Major Chawla motioned to a lush expanse of land that seemed to<br />

stretch forever. It was amidst the picturesque setting of the Himalayas with the valley<br />

stretching before them…<br />

“Is this Sunauli?” He asked the Army official who was sitting next to him…<br />

“Yes sir! This is Sunauli and we are supposed to go to the Post office where…”<br />

The Major was still speaking when he stalled him and said, “No! Please! I can manage<br />

from here.”<br />

He did not want to bother Major Chawla more than he had already!<br />

His dad had called the Major’s dad his best pal to arrange for the trip, and Major Aman<br />

Chawla had done more than enough for him to reach his destination. “Are you sure?”<br />

The Army official raised his eyebrows at the man.<br />

“100% Sure!” came the reply. “Ok then I shall arrange for the vehicle to reach you in two<br />

hours!“<br />

Major Aman said. “Thanks Major!” he shook hands with him, and walked on… towards his<br />

destiny.<br />

The colony was gated. And there was no security for individual properties.<br />

A patrol van with a searchlight scoured through, and she waited and<br />

slowly slipped in and breathed her relief. But now what? She walked to the<br />

property on cliff and knew she had few minutes before the patrol van<br />

caught her. It started pouring down and she could not walk anymore. She<br />

walked up to the building and she saw a faint light inside. Should she<br />

knock and ask for help? But… she was actually not supposed to get in. This<br />

was not a housing board colony that she could knock at the door and say,<br />

“Hi! I am lost and there is someone stalking me and I need help.” They<br />

would first put her behind bars for tress passing. But she did not have any<br />

choice. She was cold hungry and most importantly exhausted.<br />

She walked up to the front door and pressed the calling bell. Nothing<br />

happened. She pressed again… and after two minutes again.<br />

She knocked on the door the third time round and when nothing<br />

happened, turned round to leave and then the door opened and an<br />

elderly gentleman asked her, “Who are you?”<br />

Khushi could make out the voice anywhere! It was Kunwar Deepthimaan<br />

Singh Rathore!<br />

She opened her eyes slowly and saw him bending over her, and she saw<br />

that he was absolutely worried going by the frown on his face.<br />

“Ummm….” she said and shivered and Deepthimaan swore loudly, “%^$#!<br />

Man! Its weekend and I want to…bloody hell chill and you are ready to<br />

make me busy again…sitting right on my nerves!”<br />

Khushi frowned at him… what was he saying! She looked at him with that<br />

expression, and he tightened his hold round her swearing, “No! Don’t you<br />

dare look at me that way dammit! You bloody well know it’s me. And by<br />

now I am like some Attila the Hun ready to torture you at every given<br />

turn.”<br />

Khushi stared at him as her body and neck ached, and she realized she<br />

had very high fever. She tried to talk, “Sir… uhhh…I…”<br />

“Shut up!” He hissed. “Just shut up. How do you find out where I am all the<br />

time? Do you have a radar or something in built so that you track me and<br />

get to me?” He turned and walked a few paces dishing out, “Earlier it was<br />

only weekdays and the office now since last two times, its weekends also<br />

and now the settings include outdoors also! Oh God! How do you do it?<br />

Do you do it by design or it just is my sucking kismet? He was still talking<br />

when Khushi thought the better off it and got up and walked two steps<br />

towards him but swooned and fell with a thud.<br />

Deepthimaan turned and saw her falling and his blood pressure shot up!<br />

He swore saying, “That does it woman! Now I am going to so…not spare<br />

you and rushed to her but when he held her he realized she had<br />

temperature. He put her back on the couch and rang the doctor up and<br />

asked him over the phone as it was raining heavily and said, “Fine! But if it<br />

gets worse you might have to visit... Thanks”.<br />

Deepthimaan thought. He didn’t know anything about her at all. He<br />

looked deeply into her eyes and asked, “Then why don’t you tell me who<br />

you are?”<br />

He saw it then. A flicker of something like panic that developed into an<br />

avalanche of despair and then got converted into rage, and spewed red<br />

through her eyes as she said, “No!”<br />

“Why?” He asked her softly. He had to get to her somehow! The reason he<br />

didn’t know himself. At least not yet!<br />

She tried to get free but he stepped a little closer and said, “I want to know<br />

Khushi.” “No!” She said and closed her eyes when he bent to look into<br />

them.<br />

CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 7<br />

What was it with him that she felt so bound by him? Somehow he could get to<br />

her at some level. From the day she met him in Mukund’s cabin. It must be<br />

some soul thing, which her dad had always said.<br />

Some people have profound impact on us even if they are strangers to us. He<br />

had said…<br />

“Tell me Khushi” he insisted.<br />

The rain was pouring down and they were standing right there by the<br />

roadside, chatting up like old friends! He thought twisting his lips in wry<br />

humour. He would never have believed if anyone told him that on a<br />

weekend he would be standing and grilling junior staff in a heavy<br />

downpour and that too on a hunch, which had nothing to do with his<br />

profession.<br />

“There is nothing to say!” She almost whispered, her concentration on the<br />

first button on his striped executive shirt that was soggy.<br />

He bent forward and said softly in her ears, “I want to know!”<br />

“Please!” She pleaded with him. But heart of hearts she knew she was<br />

weakening by his nearness.<br />

The man knew how to play his cards right! She thought.<br />

“How will anyone help you if you won’t tell someone?” he whispered again.<br />

She lost it for a second but recovered immediately and pushed him with<br />

all her might and said, “I don’t need help sir. And no one needs to know<br />

about me. Is that clear?” Deepthimaan stared at her for a long time and<br />

then shrugged and said, “Ok! As you wish!” He went and started the<br />

engine and raised it twice as she stood staring at the man. He just took a<br />

no.<br />

CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 8<br />

“But you can’t treat her that way sir!” Khushi found her tongue slipping<br />

away! She was blabbering out of nervousness and she was in big trouble.<br />

“Oh yeah!” He said suddenly sitting beside her on the huge couch. “So<br />

what do you suggest doc Khushi? That I give her a farewell party and wish<br />

her adieu? Do you think she would accept that?”<br />

“Why not? Today’s woman is very clear in what she wants. You could have<br />

explained it instead of breaking her heart. You see she wants you to be<br />

her partner, and what’s wrong in it?” Khushi went on… Deepthimaan’s<br />

eyes narrowed.<br />

“Did it occur to you that I don’t want her?” He asked very coldly.<br />

Khushi realized how carried away she got, as she realised she was sitting<br />

next to him and he was absolutely incensed.<br />

“Er…” Khushi looked away.<br />

“Did you ever think I might have a good reason for doing that to a<br />

woman?” He asked her again.<br />

“Er…sir…” Khushi could not counter him… “Do you think men don’t have<br />

feelings?” He rasped.<br />

“Do they?” She blurted out before she could stop herself.<br />

He glared at her then and as if he couldn’t stop himself bent a little and<br />

asked, “Why do you have such a poor opinion of the male species?” “I<br />

didn’t…er…say I do...” she mumbled.<br />

“Then why are you so critical of us.” He demanded.<br />

“No! I am not. I just said you could do what you did without<br />

hurting…her…sir…” She explained.<br />

CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 9<br />

“What about me? Was she thinking of me? Did she get me, when I said I<br />

don’t want her anymore?” he said.<br />

“But she is not a toy! You know that you can just…er…leave her just like<br />

that! You should have at least given her some time…” Khushi was jerked<br />

up as he asked her, “You mean to say I should sleep with her even when I<br />

have no feelings for her just to appease her?” and saw the blush raising to<br />

her cheeks right from her neck and wondered if women blushed still!<br />

No…I didn’t mean…er…for<br />

“Then what did you mean? Can you do that?” He countered her suddenly.<br />

She looked at him stricken and he was looking at her lips that were dried<br />

up and were trembling in the nervous tension that was now spreading<br />

across her body.<br />

“Whhhat?” she asked nevertheless.<br />

“Sleep with someone when you don’t feel a thing?” He asked and studied<br />

her… “Excuse me!” She tried to avoid by looking scandalized which she<br />

was actually.<br />

“Tell me Khushi!” He said holding her wrist in a vice like grip.<br />

“Sir you are hurting me.” She told him.<br />

“That I always do. Don’t I? Now it’s the norm.” He said smiling at her<br />

mirthlessly.<br />

Khushi did not know what to say and said, “I am getting late.”<br />

“Then don’t go!” Deepthimaan for the life of him didn’t know why he said<br />

what he did.<br />

She looked at him then, stricken and his heart melted at the look of<br />

desperation in her eyes.<br />

CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 10<br />

The man quietly moved in the shadows, and moved in. He looked around<br />

and found the light in one cabin. There she was waiting for him like a<br />

sitting duck. His lips turned in wry humour. How idiotic could women be! He<br />

walked stealthily towards the far side cabin.<br />

Khushi grew restless and she felt very odd. May be it was because she was<br />

alone in a hitherto crowded place, her office she mused and she felt a<br />

very odd sensation of being watched. It was not new to her. But it never<br />

felt so odd before. She looked around. There was no movement<br />

anywhere. As she turned she saw the latch turning. Blood drained from<br />

her face. He was there! She immediately switched of the light and opened<br />

the connecting door to the Director’s cabin and searched for the way out.<br />

There was none but the door to the secretary lounge outside which was<br />

parallel to the room that she came from. She flashed her card opening it<br />

and peered out. None was there. There was a tell-tale sound of shuffling<br />

feet in the room next. She bolted out locked the room and ran past the<br />

other room locked it and ran towards the exit and heard someone<br />

swearing and banging on the door.<br />

That voice was not familiar. She thought as she ran and fell with a big thud<br />

as her sari got entangled with the wheel of a swivel chair at a workstation.<br />

She tried to free it. Blood trickled down her brow, and she tasted some on<br />

her lips. That meant she hurt her forehead and her mouth suffered the<br />

worst impact. Her lips ached. The door was now being banged open in<br />

earnest, and suddenly the sound stopped.<br />

Goldenhaze Fiction


CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 11<br />

Either he gave up, or he opened the door! She thought trying her best to tear<br />

her sari off to free herself.<br />

Khushi Think! Think…She egged herself on… The man took aim and she<br />

panicked.<br />

Deepthimaan felt very odd. Where was she and why did he feel so odd…<br />

He shook his head and then he heard her calling<br />

out, “Maaaan! MAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN… sit down… SIT! Please…”<br />

The man fired and the shot missed and hit the side of the table saving<br />

Deepthimaan.<br />

Before he took aim again, she started running across, to the other wall,<br />

shouting, “My yahaan hun… file meray pass hai.”<br />

(I am here and the file is with me)<br />

The man whatever he thought did not expect the lady to openly dare him.<br />

He thought but only for a second and turned to Deepthimaan and aimed<br />

again.<br />

Khushi ran back taking advantage of the time lapse, and fell on<br />

Deepthimaan pushing him to the carpeted floor and rolling with him,<br />

when the shots were being fired by the thug.<br />

What…the…hell… Deepthimaan looked at his cabin from where shots were<br />

being fired as the thug thinking he was on an advantage came out into the<br />

open and walked to them and brandished his weapon as Khushi covered<br />

Deepthimaan lying on top of him and said, “Nai!” (No) covering him<br />

completely with her body.<br />

“Phile doh”<br />

Goldenhaze Fiction


CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 12<br />

(Give me the file) he said gruffly looking around… the shots would have<br />

been heard outside although muted. He had very little time.<br />

“Kabhi nahee!” (Never!) She said pinning Deepthimaan further to the floor<br />

and covering him completely with her body.<br />

“Khushi! Let me handle it…” Deepthimaan’s pleas went on deaf ears as<br />

Khushi said, “Nai Sir!” and threw the file away from them.<br />

The man growled and removed the safety latch of his pistol and said,<br />

“Tujhey tho…”<br />

(You must be killed)<br />

The man raised his gun to shoot…<br />

She tried to nod and winced and he flinched saying, “Look at yourself!<br />

Who asked you to go and get into trouble?”<br />

“What?” Khushi thought he would congratulate her for saving such a topsecret<br />

mission from crumbling. But here he was fuming away.<br />

She did not know how to react. She smarted and he asked her, “Why is<br />

that …” and looked away as a muscle throbbed in his temple she noticed,<br />

and resumed saying, “Why is that whenever both of us come into contact<br />

with each other, the end result is pain for you?”<br />

And me! …he left the other part unsaid. As the eldest son in the Mehraana<br />

clan and the heir apparent, he had always conducted himself with utmost<br />

decorum and decency. He personally also did not believe in hurting<br />

people. This woman was his end as every encounter with her somehow<br />

inflicted pain on to her, and later on to him coz he was involved somehow.<br />

It was weird!<br />

Goldenhaze Fiction


CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 13<br />

This recurrence of the pattern of pain was inexplicable!<br />

He snorted. And he ended up feeling somehow liable although he had<br />

nothing to do with it even remotely. But it was always as if he was some<br />

guardian of her in terms of her dosage of pain. And worst part is after the<br />

pain he was supplier of the panacea mostly. It was really strange.<br />

Khushi was trembling all over by the time she reached her room. What did<br />

she do! She yelled at the Prince at his own place in front of his staff and<br />

his mom! Oh NO! By any standards that was very rude. He must be<br />

hopping mad and she imagined him in a pagdi and royal robe decreeing,<br />

“Off with her head!”<br />

A smile played on her lips as tears rolled down her eyes, and that’s how<br />

Deepthimaan saw her when he barged into her room after a cursory<br />

knock.<br />

“Very good! Now you are enjoying the pain. New extra fresh this time!” He<br />

said coldly making her to stand up and winced, as her body was still not<br />

up to the mark. “Hum…” She stared but stalled as he said, “No go on… left<br />

hand done! Left leg done! Head ok! Shoulder and head and left side just<br />

completed. Today right hand…” It took a minute for Khushi to realize that<br />

he was actually giving her the checklist of the injuries she sustained on<br />

her body ever since they met. Coffee, dislocation of leg on the stairs, the<br />

car episode on the rainy evening, the office…oh God!<br />

Anything else left? He asked her so furiously that she looked around.<br />

Anything to distract his attention and found a glass of water on the side<br />

table and walked to it and held it saying, “Please calm down.” But as she<br />

moved the carpet flipped and she lost her balance and stepped out of the<br />

Goldenhaze Fiction


CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 14<br />

carpet and in the process, the glass fell on her right foot crashing into<br />

pieces.<br />

SurPal who was just outside barged in saying, “Kunwar kya hua…”<br />

(What happened Prince?) and Khushi and Deepthimaan looked at each<br />

other and Khushi was stricken and she saw his eyes and then she saw it!<br />

His lips twitching at the corners with suppressed laughter, and she eased<br />

up and they both broke down laughing much to Suri’s shock.<br />

“Suri… tell her to call for a ceasefire yaar!” Deepthimaan said and at<br />

SurPal’s confused face again Khushi and Deepthimaan burst out laughing,<br />

as he shook his head in exasperation and walked out calling Lado to clean<br />

up and muttering something about people making him go crazy.<br />

At the farmhouse he had seen that she was very vulnerable when it came<br />

to it. The tough exterior, which she sported, was a sham! It was for just<br />

warding off people. Actually she was very vibrant from within and was full<br />

of life. She was sort of alive when he caught her unawares. Just not alive<br />

but was like a live wire! What did she do to curtail all that spirit! Where did she<br />

keep it tucked away! Behind the soft spoken docile plain Jane, was the<br />

fearless absolutely unstoppable force that he could clearly see!<br />

He had another concern! His angle with her! He shook his head and<br />

smiled self derisively! Since when was he thinking about all this! She was his<br />

savior, so they took care of her in gratitude. That’s all, there was to it! But<br />

why did he feel very odd when she said she wanted to leave.<br />

For her security! A rational thought came from within. The file still was with<br />

the Corporal and who ever it was, who wanted it would strike again.<br />

Goldenhaze Fiction


CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 15<br />

Worse still she had said there were two people that day, who tried to<br />

attack her. He personally had a hunch that it was Mukund Dhanjani who<br />

orchestrated it, but was still on the hunt for evidence to frame him.<br />

However, as the person who was the single reason for the entire plan to<br />

fail, Khushi stood a very good chance of being the victim for any<br />

retaliation that may be planned by the opponent.<br />

Yes! She must be kept in safety for some time till the entire episode was<br />

sorted out.<br />

He called SurPal and briefly told him about his hunch, and asked him to<br />

see to it that Khushi is never alone at the Corporal.<br />

“Shhhhh!” She said with her index finger on her lips, which irritated him<br />

further.<br />

“You are asking me to shut up?” He could not talk further, as she closed<br />

his mouth with her palm and in walked Mr. Avadhani, and froze in his<br />

tracks, apologized and left and the opened door left Khushi and<br />

Deepthimaan exposed to the secretarial lounge for a full thirty seconds,<br />

before the elderly man closed the door.<br />

Khushi froze and made to step back, but Deepthimaan wound his arm<br />

round her waist saying, “Oh no! No woman does that to me and goes back<br />

without a retaliation.”<br />

“Sir…I…” she gulped hard as she herself didn’t know why she acted like<br />

that! What was it with him that made her loose her cool and act like…act<br />

like herself-the Khushi she was! She weakly realized. He made her loose<br />

Goldenhaze Fiction


CHASING THE RAINBOW-2 16<br />

her carefully concocted cool exterior and she did not know why that<br />

happened.<br />

The realization made her go absolutely slack and then she realized a new<br />

feeling. The arm round her was scalding hot! It seared through her sari,<br />

and she felt a tugging sensation, which was familiar, the moment she saw<br />

his eyes up close narrowed and deep blue in anger right then.<br />

She lowered her eyes and said, “Please!”<br />

Deepthimaan who grabbed her in reflex action, realised a second late as<br />

to what he had done.<br />

He never was so overwhelmed by any woman! Not even in throws of passion!<br />

He never lost his cool. No woman made him loose his head like this one. What<br />

was it with her that made him forget the fact that he was at his office and<br />

anyone walking in could see them!<br />

He looked at her and his arm round her waist tightened inadvertently, and<br />

she panicked and went cold.<br />

Jaagthey sothey jiska khayaal meray mann mein hain<br />

Kahaan mann pay hai humaarey kabu<br />

Jo hum rukay ek jagah!<br />

Unhay yaad karnay lagey jiska chal gaya humaarey dil pay jaadu<br />

Jinsay hui hai mohabbat humaaree aagah<br />

Who humay chod aisay hee chaldiye beparwaah<br />

Hum doondthey aagaye unhay dar badar<br />

Aisay bhi humey na tadpaao beinthehaa<br />

Ki hum sochey humaara pyar ka rang chadaa per bay asar…<br />

Where is my heart for it’s not under my control<br />

It flutters reminiscing in the memories of her, who holds it in captivity!<br />

The love of my love left me without a care!<br />

As I wander for a glimpse of her here and there!<br />

Don’t test me to an extent<br />

Where I might doubt the candor of my love…<br />

“Yash! YASH!” Khushi stopped him. He smiled and said ma’am,<br />

Bus aapko dekhthey hee shaayari hojaathi hai humay jaisay bukhaar…<br />

Ab yeh tum jaanon ki yeh dil ki tadap hai ya uski pukar!<br />

Just by looking at you, verses roll down by me;<br />

Now is this the anguish of my heart or it’s yearning, you tell me!<br />

Khushi closed her eyes. She could tll from the voice he was in pain.<br />

Nigaahein bichaayi thi mynay unn kay kadmom mein<br />

Shaan sein uthri thi who humaarey palkon mein<br />

Dur say dekha bus unhay aur unkay milan ki lagee aisi lagi<br />

Kay hum baawrey huvey aisay kay aankh humaari tab say hai nahee lagi<br />

She was standing high on a turret, and one glimpse that I had of her,<br />

I was floored by her, for I felt it was my life that stood before me…<br />

I pledged my life at her feet!<br />

As she filled my eyes, and my heart with the pride of her love,<br />

Ever since is my yearning for a meet with my beloved!<br />

Sleep evades me ever since, as I wait for her to glance my way…<br />

Ek baar mud kay dekho tho kya jaaye tera<br />

Thu chaahey tho jaan nikaal kay rakhdun qadmon mein tera<br />

Thu samajh na saki deewangi meri ei jaan<br />

Per my tumhay apna banakey rahunga yeh bath meri maan<br />

Thu agar mud kay na dekhi mujhey abhi<br />

Tho jaan dedunga phir na milunga kabhi<br />

What would you loose if you spare a glance this way?<br />

My life I shall give up at your feet if only you turn back<br />

I shall make you mine! Get that right,<br />

Turn back and look at me<br />

For if you don’t I shall give up my life<br />

Lo ab intezaar ki ghadi khatm hui<br />

Who aayegi abhi aur kahegi bath ankahi<br />

Meri nigaahein raah taqthi hai uskay deedaar ki<br />

Mera dil bechain hai us kay liye<br />

Baahon mein bharloon usay ek baar…mynay yeh dua maangi<br />

Iss behjaan si zindagi mein jaan aye!<br />

Jo meri zindagi mein who aajaaye<br />

There ends my long wait unbidden,<br />

She would come and say the words that were never spoken;<br />

My eyes wait for her to grace them with her countenance,<br />

While my heart yearns for her presence!<br />

I asked destiny for just a chance to hold her in my arms<br />

If only she stepped into my lonely existence<br />

To fill this emptiness within me with her wonderful essence<br />
