And in Nepal . Krishna was pecking the paddles out of the flower in sadness when he heard a loud voice say his name. And when he replied to it in the same manner the voice told him that he got a call from that beautiful doctor Priya. And after hearing that, he immediately tried to run, but stopped himself, and walked down there by running as a normal human, or he tried to, which was still pretty fast for everyone else. And he immediately picked the telephone from the telephone booth.
" Hello." It was his first word.
" Krishna, how are you?" And that's it, his whole world again becomes colorful and full of light. And he stands there talking for hours and spending every single penny he has on the telephone. And his talk ended when he asked Chintu for more pennies and Chintu shook his head in sad denial. And they had to cut their talk short, which was six hours.
" Six hours thirty seven minutes and forty seven seconds. You spend 480 coins for a phone call. "
" For love that is not much."
" Yeh, and if she keeps calling you this much, you'll go bagging. "
" I'll do just that. "
" What? Seeing your height and face, they'll give you a kick rather than a coin. "
" Then I'll work, I'll sell fruits and plants. "
" And who's gonna buy that here. That thing only gonna sell in the city. And you can't go there."
" So I'll give it to the person who'll go to the city. It's better than nothing. "
" Why don't you go to priya ma'am instead, didn't she offer a job or something. "
" She did, but how can I? "
" Tell dadi about it, and talk to her . Tell her that after everything is settled, you will come back, with her . "
And he absolutely denied that. Saying dadi is not gonna agree. And he won't go there without her permission.
" But don't you love her?" Said Chintu like a devil.
" I do. But Dadi came first before that. "
" And what priya ma'am you love her and she loves you back . "
" She doesn't love me. " He stated.
" Then why did she talk with you for hours?" He asked and Krishna looked puzzled a bit.
" She also loves you Krishna, but is afraid of telling you.."
" Think about it Krishna, why would she have gone to your place to eat, why did she offer you a job and no other, and why did she call you here if she doesn't love you. Just imagine you and doctor ma'am priya together taking care of dadi in that home. Don't you think Dadi also needs someone to help? "
" But Dadi." Krishna said.
" Just think about her Krishna, what doctor ma'am priya is going through, she must have been crying. "
And Krishna looked thoughtful. And then looked down.
" I'm sorry, but no, I can't. " And he stands up.
" It's better if we stay apart then, tell her that I'm out of the city or di- somewhere, when she calls next time. "
" And he walked away from there." Chintu tries to stop him.
And from a distance, dadi sees all that.
Krishana was in the rocky area of the river, where he was releasing his anger on rocks and water nearby, this was the same place where encounter priya for the first time. He was throwing huge rocks in the water. But his anger didn't seem to go away. And then he looked at a huge stone, which was there. And he went to pick it. He extended both his arms, grabbed it by both hands, and slowly and steadily picked it up with little difficulty, and then threw it on the water. Scaring some birds there. And after throwing that huge rock, he was breathing quite heavily.
And some time later he reached his home, and sat on the rock outside. And his granny came out, and sat beside him with a glass of bournvita. And she starts to put some clothes on him.
" What are you doing dadi? " He asked. Looking at the foreign clothes.
" Checking if those feets you. You can't go in the city in these clothes. " And Krishna's eyes widened with surprise.
" But dadi - "
" No but what. If you can sacrifice your love for me, so ,why can't I allow you to go there? " And he jumped in joy.
" Really dadi? I can go there to meet priya. " And she nodded, and then after a little bit jumping he looked at her, and saw her teary eyes, and his mood fell. And he tried to deny it.
" Dadi! What about the people? "
" Forget about them, you aren't going to please anybody, or do anything, you are going to get me a daughter in law." And he hugged him tightly. And thanked him from Mondays to Sundays. And next day, he told priya that he is coming.
And there in Mumbai, priya groaned inwardly and sakshi patted her head. Which she squats away in frustration.
" I'm your teacher. " She hissed.
" And I'm the sister of your future husband." And she throws an eraser on her face.
And the next day, Krishna came to India by plane. And outside the airport, two women were holding a sign that said Krishna. Well that's the signs that priya was holding. Sakshi was holding a sign that said,
" Groom's sister" with some color ring on it. And when priya sees that, she crushes it with his feet.
" Hey! " Yelled Sakshi.
" I made that with effort. "
" Be glad that I'm helping your father with this shit. "
" You are helping him because you want to study with him as well. " And she knew that she was right so she kept her mouth closed.
And Sakshi was barking about some nonsense, when a foreign voice got their attention.
" Excuse me. " And when Sakshi turned to see who he was, she paused in mid dialogue and poked Priya to look here. But she ignored her and told her to stop. When she heard her name calling.
" Priya. " And when she turns, she has the same reaction as sakshi. They both saw Krishna, and he was totally changed.
His hair was now perfectly groomed, like his father but little longer, he wore an old but clean silver overcoat like his father used to wear , a totally clean face like his father, he looked exactly like his father, just he was missing some grey hair and glasses. They both kept looking at her for some time, like Krishna did with priya, but in astonishment. And first to come out from their stopper was Sakshi, and she introduced herself. And then helped priya to get out from her stopper as well . And when she did she told that the car was outside, and Sakshi gave him a compliment. And he asked.
" Your mother didn't come. "
" Your mother looks like he's gonna take you home right now. " And Priya stomped on her feet.
" Oh yeah mother, she is out of town. "
" Out of town, when did he come back?" He asked.
" Ahh three -"
" Ten to fifteen days." Sakshi started seeing what she was gonna say.
" Ten to fifteen days. What I'm gonna do with that long here ."
" Ahh - " priya was saying something but sakshi beat him to it.
" We're gonna tour the city, priya ma'am told me that you toured her town, so we're gonna tour you. "
" Priya ma'am? Is she your student? He asked her." And this was the first time when Priya regretted herself being addressed as a teacher, especially by her, because any other time she would have said priya, or 'oy priya' . And by the looks of it, she knows what she did.
" Yes, I'm. And priya ma'am is the best teacher out there, and I came here to help her."
" Oh! Great, we're gonna see the school as well, is your dad there? You told me that he is the dean of your college."
" He is too fast. " Said sakshi in a muffled sound.
" Yes- "
" No! " Sakshi stated.
" He isn't in the town as well, they both went to family functions. So why don't we go to the hotel where you're gonna stay."
"Hotel?" He asked innocently.
" Aren't we gonna stay together? "
"Looks like I'm gonna be an aunt way sooner than I thought -" Stated sakshi quietly, and priya again step on her feet.
" We can, but my house is far from the city, and we need to stay in the city for some time." Priya stated and he looked a little convinced. And then they asked him about his luggage. He replied that some people told him that they were gonna give him in the end, and he was looking for them. And they both understand what happened . Someone stole his luggage.
And in the hotel. Krishna was looking outside with amusement and astonished eyes, like a kid in a candy store, and Sakshi gave him a new android phone, which he after looking at, said that he couldn't take it. And she told him that it's present from Priya's father, and he took it. And he looked at it for some time, and she asked why are you looking at it like that. He replied that he didn't know how to use it. And she looked at him like he said some blasphemy. She replied that she was going to teach him everything about it. And outside, Priya was talking to Dr Rohit about their arrival. She was explaining every detail to him. and then he told her that she needs to bring him to the lab. Which she replied that they would, but before that they gonna bought him some new clothes, his luggage got stolen in airport, and nothing important was I there, so we didn't do police complain, and he look awful lot like you, and they can't go to the lab, she'll do things in college lab, and hide him we gonna do him a makeover. And this is all Sakshi's idea. Which! he didn't need to know that. He told them to not get lost in time, and to do stuff quickly. Which she nodded.
" And listen, after all this, I want to meet him." And she didn't say anything.
And she entered the room, where two siblings were talking on the phone. And sakshi was teaching Krishna that all stuff.
" We got a little work, after we got done shopping we were gonna go there." Said priya, which Sakshi nodded and Krishna looked at her. And then kept eye contact. And they both stayed there for a moment.
And then they went shopping . And currently they were in the barber shop where they were trying him to cut his hair, and he was denying to no end saying he loved his hair. And trying to run. But a firm hand if priya in a shoulder makes him stop.
" It'll look good on you." She said and he did just that.
And after hair cutting, both women sat there holding their heads, now he was looking even more like his father. His hair was now a perfect replica of his father's hair. And they were thinking if he wears glasses, they will be done for. And like hell, luck had some weird fun tormenting them, then he came out wearing round glasses.
" Why are you wearing those? " asked Sakshi.
" Miss barber said I look good in it." And indeed he was looking good. And then regretted even more, they went to the dress corner where the shopkeepers were showing them clothes very well, and sakshi was in that list as well. And Priya was holding her head in frustration, seeing how all the girls were acting around him.
And in the end they settled, in some shirts and t-shirts, and they both were holding bags, Krishna and sakshi. And if she didn't know better, Priya would have thought that they were brother and sister for ages. They put everything on the car and headed for the college.
" What are they doing here?" And Priya replied that she has some work to do.
And he didn't argue and went inside. It was college time so many students were there, and all of them were giving Krishna second glances, even the boys. He was tall and heavily muscled like an actor. They were curious, and he looked a lot like a professor they know.
They entered the lab, and they told him to remove his shirt, and he asked why. And they told him that they wanted to check something. And when he removed his T-shirt. Sakshi took a money shot, he was looking hot. And priya grabbed her phone and deleted the photo.
They put that same iv. And told him to sit on the examination chair, and he did that. And they looked at the heart beat and other stuff, they and they were normal. Like a human, and they did a second test to see if anything was different . Then they put the eye machine a little advanced, and it works, the reading was low for some reason . They checked it again, and found out that it was the same as a human eye. Then they did the strength test, where he did bare minimum, an average human score. Which they did two times, and they grew frustrated. Then they did the pushups, and he didn't even do thirty.
" Are you even trying, you did a hundred times more in the town. " And he replied that he is tired. And he actually was.
" I think it's an air fault. " He replied. And then they put a mask on his face. And told him to breathe, he did but nothing happened. They took some blood samples in front of him . And they told him to wait .
