CHAPTER 28
Prutvi saves Chandini from Jabbar
Prutvi and Arvind were waiting at the
colony border. They kept looking down the road for Chandini. At last she appeared.
“Hi.”
Prutvi smiled. “Hi. Why are you late today?”
“Sorry, Prutvi I got up late today.”
“Ok. Sit behind me.”
Chandini sat behind Prutvi. They went straight to the
college compound
Prutvi said, “Yours is left side building and ours is
right side building. Both in the same compound. We are lucky.”
Arvind laughed. “She is studying in diploma final year
and we are B Tech first year.”
Prutvi waved to Chandini. “Bye. I will be waiting for
you at 3:30 near the gate.”
Chandini waved and smiled. “Ok. Bye.”
Prutvi and Arvind went to the bike stand to park their
vehicles. Chandini went towards her building.
Rowdy Jabbar and his gang watched her coming. He stopped
her by standing in front of her. His gang was behind him. Chandini got scared.
Jabbar asked his boys, “Who is this beauty? Already
she has selected someone for double ride. Just friendly type or large type or
homely type?”
All laughed.
One man said, “Looks like homely type. She was
embracing him like homely type.”
Chandini shivered. Tears appeared in her eyes. Jabbar brought
his face closed to hers.
Chandini pleaded, “Please don’t do anything to me.”
Jabbar looked at her oddly. “In the student market of
this college, you are like a star. A super star. A super star should mix only
with a super star.”
Chandini moved back. “Please leave me.”
Another man approached her. He pointed to rowdy
Jabbar. “Look at our brother’s face just once. So much glamour. Look at his
body. So powerful. Our boss is king of the college.”
Another man said, “I will tell you of his background.
Listen. He is the present MLA’s son. The future MLA. All super star qualities.”
Jabber scratched his head. He brought his face near
hers. “Now did you understand who I am? A perfect match for you.”
Chandini folded her hands. “Please leave me alone.”
Jabbar pointed a finger at her. “Eh! That fellow with
whom you came. What plus point did you see in him? What minus point did you see
in me?”
He brought his mouth near her ear. “I will not tell
anyone. In the evening will you set up with me?”
Another boy looked at Jabbar’s face and said, “In the
evening you have another booking. But don’t keep this girl in your waiting
list. We have told all your qualifications. You touch her once here only.”
All friends said, “Yes boss. Do it here only.”
Chandini shivered. She started crying.
Rowdy looked at his friends. “You are all my
followers. I have never refused anything you ask. She is shy. Do one thing.
Make a circle so that no on will see.”
They clapped their hands and made a circle around
Jabbar and Chandini.
Chandini was very scared. “Please don’t do anything to
me.”
She moved two steps back in the circle.
Jabber approached her. “Don’t be shy. All are my
people.”
He put his finger on her forehead and brought it down
to her mouth. “This is nose. Oh! Rose petals.”
He moved his finger down to her chest and then stopped.
One fellow looked in surprise. “Why did you stop?”
Jabbar said, “It stopped. You know why? I am measuring
the body.”
The fellow asked, “Brother, how much?”
Jabbar looked at Chandini’s chest. “34.”
One fellow laughed. “2 less than Aishwarya Rai.”
Jabbar’s finger moved down to her stomach and stopped.
One fellow asked with disappointment. “Oh! It has
stopped again. Why brother?”
Jabbar said, “I am measuring the waist.”
One fellow asked, “How much brother?”
“24.”
All exclaimed, “Wahl!”
Chandini cried loudly. She folded her hands. “Please
leave me alone.”
Jabber said crookedly, “I want to leave you. But what
to do? My body is not listening to my words. My body has become steady. Sorry
madam. The finger is not coming even if I say come. It wants to go to the main
point.”
Chandini shook in fear. She lifted her hands in the
air helplessly. “Oh god! Help me.”
Then she closed her eyes and shouted loudly. “Help me.
Prutvi. Help me. Prutvi.”
Prutvi and Arvind had just climbed to the 2nd
floor portico. Hearing the shout, they looked towards the ground. They were
shocked to see the scene.
Arvind pointed to the ground. “Prutvi, look there.”
He pointed to the scene.
Prutvi looked down and shouted. “Come on.”
They went down the steps at high speed. They reached
the ground and ran to the circle of men. They pushed their way into the circle
and stood inside it.
Chandini became more courageous on seeing them. Arvind
was very angry. He moved to hit Jabbar. Prutvi stopped him. “Arvind, be cool.
Let us control the situation coolly.”
Jabbar looked at them seriously. “What is this
disturbance?”
One fellow said, “Brother, 150cc and 350cc have come.”
Jabbar approached the two boys and looked at their faces.
“What job did these ccs have here?”
He kept staring at them.
Prutvi looked at him coolly.
Jabbar showed his
finger. “Do you also want to be measured?”
Prutvi gave signal to Chandini to come near him.
Everywhere there was silence. Chandini ran to him and held him tightly.
Jabbar saw this and tightened his face. He pointed his
finger at Prutvi. “Eh! Are you her body guard?”
Prutvi was silent. He watched him closely. Arvind was
in great tension.
"I feel that this 350cc person is her life guard and
that 150cc person is her body guard.”
Jabbar came near Prutvi and put his palm on his chest.
Then he looked at Chandini.
“Eh! Are you her life guard? Is that why she is
holding you so tight? You have dared to stand in front of Jabbar. What is your
load?”
One fellow said, “Brother, you measure his load with
your finger.”
Jabbar removed his hand and pressed his fingers. “These
fingers are for measuring the bodies of ladies only.”
Then he closed his fingers into a strong grip. “This is
for measuring the load of badmash like you.”
One fellow shouted, “Go on brother. Measure his load.”
Jabbar hammered his fist into Prutvi’s stomach. Prutvi
stood like a statue. Again Jabbar hammered him. Prutvi did not move even an
inch. Jabber hammered him again and again. No effect. Then he stood looking at
Prutvi’s face in surprise.
Prutvi said seriously, “Eh brother! You will have to
be reborn to measure the load of this body. I am warning you. Don’t test my
patience. Just go away.”
Jabbar became angry. He laughed oddly. He went to his
circle of friends laughing loudly. “To measure the load I need another birth it
seems. Rebirth! If I hit you 3 more times, you will sleep here itself. You know
that?”
Prutvi looked at him seriously. “Don’t brother. Don’t
cross the border. You will become empty. I am warning you.”
Jabbar laughed. “What? You think this is
India-Pakistan border or what?”
He started hitting Prutvi.
All chanted. “One! Two! Three! Four! Five!”
Prutvi stood like a statue. Jabbar was surprised. He looked
at him from bottom to top.
Prutvi lifted his finger seriously. “You have hit me
five times.”
He opened his shirt button and showed a single hair on
his chest. “Even this hair has not moved. But if I hit you just one punch, not
only your body but the intestines in your body will get displaced.”
Prutvi moved backwards. “You mentioned border, isn’t
it?”
He bends and drew a line in the mud. He pointed to the
line. “Understand one thing. If you cross this line or if I cross this line the
result will be same. You will become empty.”
Jabbar looked at him seriously.
Prutvi said, “Eh! If you are courageous, came on. Cross
the border and measure me.”
Jabbar bit his teeth. Prutvi was challenging him in
front of his followers.
Prutvi shouted, “Come on. Show your courage.”
Jabbar jumped like a lion and crossed the line. Prutvi
bent and gave him a hard punch on his stomach. Jabbar flew into the air beyond
the circle and fell far away. Blood oozed from his mouth. The men started
running away.
Prutvi went to the fallen body. Jabber blinked. Prutvi
put his knees on Jabbar’s body. He looked at the running fellows. “Eh! Come
back. Put a circle.”
They were all scared. They came and formed a circle
again. Prutvi looked at them. He showed them his fist. “This is yoga punch.
Indian yoga punch.”
Then he looked at Jabbar. “One more punch is left.”
He pointed his fist to Jabbar’s mouth. “If I hit, you
will not just cross the college compound but go straight to hell.”
One fellow came forward. “Please don’t give him that
punch. Due to your first punch, he has fallen flat. If the 2nd punch
falls, his heart will stop beating. Please cool down.”
Prutvi looked at all the men. “Eh! I have kept one
punch balance for you. If you get involved in Chandini’s matter again, I will
use this punch to send you to hell. I have a satvic character. But if you
instigate me, I will become a demon.”
He removed his shirt and handed it to Arvind. Then he lifted
his hands to show his strong body. Everyone got scared wondering what he was
going to do.
Prutvi said, “This is yoga body.”
He showed his fingers. Moved his wrist and closed his
fingers into a strong grip.
“This is yoga grip. I know 32 yoga techniques. Just
one technique is enough to make you flat. I have not come from a lucha loafer
background like you. I have come from an ashram. I had come from a cultured
background.”
He pointed to Chandini. “Not only for her matter but
if you got involved in any other girl’s matter also, I will not leave you. If
you try to measure any girl………”
Jabbar was holding his hands together and pleading.
Prutvi pressed Jabbar’s fingers back. Jabbar shouted
in pain.
Prutvi said, “If you touch her again (he pointed to
Chandini) I will measure the ground into 3 * 6(he showed the ground).”
Prutvi got up and took Chandini. Arvind gave him the
shirt. Prutvi hung it on his shoulder. He went to his bike. They climbed on the
bike. Prutvi drove away showing his bare body. He went directly to the beach.
On the beach, Prutvi stood silently with his arms
crossed tight across his chest.
Chandini looked at him and approached him. “Prutvi,
why are you silent?”
He looked at her and put one palm on his chest and nodded
to her. She immediately ran to him and leaned on him putting her head on his
chest.
Chandini thought, “You are really great. Under your
wings of security, I want to dissolve like this whole life.”
Prutvi caressed her head. “Why are you silent now?”
“I am listening to your heartbeat.”
Prutvi lifted her chin and looked into her eyes. “What
does it say?”
She was shy. “I will not say that now. When time comes
I will tell you.”
“No. you must tell me now itself.”
She pointed to her heart. “You ask my heart.”
