SHRESTH DIXIT

I was going back home, after giving the reporter the punishment to his deeds, he dared to cover the news article that was gonna harm the Public Image and reputation of DIXIT'S.

Yes though it is negatively angled, DIXIT'S do have Public Image that should be kept clean at any cost. Because, harming DIXIT'S image is harming my image and if that is harmed, nothing would survive for good, for sure!

Thar was crossing over roads, small tunnels, people, vendors visible on the road, in this hot scorching sun!

God, aaj suryadev bhi angry mode mein hai shayad!!

I was thinking this, when Sangam stopped the car, with such an emergency, i thought he had just crashed the car onto someone.

Ek aur Naya kand, behenchod! Koi bina mere haton se mare mujhe Jeene nhi dena wala shayad aaj!

And to my intensly cracked destiny, sangam had actually crashed our car onto some other car!

Good ! Aaj is chirkut ka bhi kaam tamam kar hi deta hu !

As soon as, the car stopped, i rolled out of it to see, If someone was actually dead, because then it was necessary to do postmortem of this body ! Here and now!

But for my goodness, Sangam had crashed our car onto the car of someone I know. Very clearly and from quite a long time.

It was Shivay's car. He stepped out side the car furiously, and in two steps came towards me and Jerked me ! To the back side !
He jerked me ? ME?
"Kya be akal ke dushman , kitni baar kaha hai tujhe apne gusse pe kabu rakha kar! Har jagah jake dabang ban jata hai, sale! " he lashed out at me, his frustration , his chest heaving now!

I went back, jumped and sat on the bonnet of my Thar. Taking out cigrette, i pulled it to my lips, Sangam knowing his job very well, brought lighter and burned it in one flash.

Hushhhhhhhh!!!!!!

I let out a long drag of it, smoke enveloping my face now. Than with the I don't give damn attitude, i said

"Kyu thak raha hai itna , sale !" Gainig most frustrated expressions from Shivay. He was two seconds away from shooting me ! Straight onto my head out of my skull!!!

"Apne aap ko samjhta kya hai tu, muh uthake jayega kahi bhi, aur maar dega kisiko bhi, kaun hai kaun tu ? Bol naa, bol sale harami!" He asked me, anger and fury clearly dripping from his voice .

" Shresth Dixit ! Kanpur ka ek jana mana , aur prachalit Gunda! Jiske Tau ke ishare pe underworld ka patta chapta hai aur kal humare ishare pe chapega !"

Shivay, though he knew all this, was shocked after hearing this answer in the most casual tone from me.

"Aise jake, seedhe, us reporter ko itni behrehmi se marne ki kya jarurat thi shresth! Mujhe bta deta main le ata na use, Dada nagar wale godown mein, waha kar deta tujhe jo krna hai. Ab kya aise sare aam , tu logon ko marta firega kya shresth, ye tere public image ke liye sahi nahi hai, sarkari afsaron ke blacklist mein ajayega tu aise ." Shivay said, but his whole lecture had very little effect on me .

"Shresth Dixit, matlb hum, jabse iss dhande me utre hai na, tabse sarkari afsaron ke blacklist mein hi hai . Aur rahi baat public image ki woh toh pehle se hi kharab thi, par kisi ki himmat hui ye baat sabke samne bolne ki ? Aaj bhi hum jaha se jate hai , jis bhi gali se log jhuk ke salam krte hai, bs wahi mayne rkhta hai. Aur rahi baat us reporter ko marne ki , uske toh main tukde tukde krke kutton ko khila deta, lekin woh kya hai na ,mera mood nhi tha isiliye uski juban aur ungliya kaat ke , use goli mardi. Bas itna hi toh kiya maine? Aur tum khamkha yaha beech sadak pe is baat ke liye panchayat bitha rahe ho?"

"Bs? Itni si baat ? Ye itni si baat hai shresth? Tumko ye itni si baat lgti hai ? Kisi din police walon ke haat lag gaye na tum, gaand mar denge woh tumhari, yaad rakhna meri baat, tumhari iss 'Itni si Baat' ki wajah se!"
Shivay shouted at me, on the top of his voice , his anger reaching almost on the last level of his patience.

"Himmat hai unke gaand mein, humare saye ko bhi haat lagane ki ? Aukat hai unki ? Iss state ka CM bhi woh banta hai, jo hume humare dhande mein kam aaye! Toh uske ye do kaudi ke afsar kya kr lenge mera ? Kya ukhad lenge woh?". I said. I knew how this system works. Paisa fek aur tamasha dekh !

"Itne andhvishwas mein mat raho shresth, kya pta kal koi Sarkari afsar hi tumhari lanka laga de!
Toh kanpur ke bhavi underworld ke mafia urf bhaiyya ji, thoda sambhal ke rahiye! Apne khaulte hue khoon ko thoda shant kijiye. Aur jyda jawani ufaan maar rahi hai toh jaye, ek baar Raksha bar hoke aaiye! "

That was it, his last words snapped something inside me. I got down from the bonnet of the thar, and in one long step, went towards Shivay, and bang!!!!
A sharp, and painful Slap, landed on his face.

"SHRESTH DIXIT hazar khoon kr skta hai, bahot berehmi se, logon ki jaan halak se haath daal ke nikal skte hai, kisi ko jinda jala sakta hai, par kabhi bhi, kabhi bhiii, Kisi aurat ke jism ke sath nhi khel skta ,khaas kr apne jism ki bhuk mitane ke liye. Is jism pe, humari aatma pe bs 'Uss' ka hi hak hai, sirf uska !"

I said, catching his collar, making him face me!

"Toh kya woh, jiske liye tu itne saalon se ye sant bana hua hai, kya woh tujhe iss tarah se apanayegi? Jaisa tu hai ? Kyu ayegi woh tere jaise aadmi ke pass! Aur woh kya koi aur bhi kyu ayegi?" Shivay asked me, testing my patience!

"Koi aur humein chahiye bhi nhi, koi koshish bhi karegi toh use wahi kaat dalenge. Aur rahi baat 'Uski' to woh chahie ya na chahie, hona toh use humara hi hoga! Shresth Dixit ka hi hona hoga use ! Ye baat woh bhagwan bhi neeche aake nhi badal skta!"

I said making him understand, that he just can't jump on that subject anytime and anywhere he wants. He. Just. Can't!

"Tu pura pagal ho gaya hai shresth, insaan se haivaan banta jaa raha hai tu, dekh apni taraf ek baar..." Shivay was continuing to throw his tantrums around me, when my phone rang in my pocket...

"Sshhh..."

I said," call aaya hai ruk jaa," I said him making him quiet.

I took out phone from my pocket, only to see badi maa calling me,

"Behenchod!" I muttered; picking up the phone, after signaling everyone to stay quite.

The thing she said from the other side, made my fist, tight with anger , and in one motion i said to sangam,

" Gadi ghuma aur Ghar chal jaldi,"

aur saale, tu bhi chal " i turned and hinted Shivay to come with me. Kya kr skte hai, langotiya yaar hai, chhod nhi skta use kabhi bhi !

Saying this, I went and rolled into my seat, Sangam starting the engine, getting the car onto the road of Tapovan villa.

At Banaras, in Nandini's House
2p.m

NANDINI MISHRA

The morning was hectic. All the members of our colony, had come to congralutae me, on my success. They all gifted me gifts, congratulated me with flower bouquets, and many more things, most importantly blessings. Those blessings were most needed for me, especially for me to give proper service to the society, in coming years of life.

Maa and chachi were working in kitchen, most probably cleaning dishes and snacks that were being served for guests. They are always busy in keeping this house clean, looking for everything that members of this family need, truly they are the base of this happy family.

I was engulfed in the thoughts when, Rahul came, running , jumping on sofa landing on me like an turmoil.
Ye badi afat hai is ghar mein!

"Aah,,.. Rahul ke bacche, jara dekh ke baitha kr na, lag gayi na humein? Maaa dekho naa , aapka ye ladla aake kudh pada humpe, lag gayi hume!"
I cried, trying to gain maa's attention in the most dramatic way!

Aaj is afat ko toh pitwa ke hi rahungi maa se ! Heheheh!

"Re ladke, bhagta hai kya waha se ? Main agayi waha toh itna marungi na ? Ja jake padhai kr." Maa shouted from kitchen, threatening Rahul. And poor boy! He actually went. Walked, sorry ran towards his room.

In a moment, Maa came out of the kitchen, her expressions saying she has to talk something important to me.

"Nandu, sun to , teri kanpur wali mausi ka phone aya tha kal, bol rahi thi nandu kab milne aa rhi hai mujhe ? Bahot yaad krti hai woh tujhe, uske pairon ke dard ki wajah se woh nhi aa sakti yaha pe, humein hi jana hoga beta, usse Milne."

Kanpur wali mausi! Yes, she means Padma mausi. Yes, wahi hogi, kanpur mein aur koi rishtedar toh nhi hai humare .

"Tu sun Rahi hai ? Chal na kal parson jaake ate hai, 2-3 din ruk ke wapis ajayenge. Fir tera training ka letter agaya toh tu uski tayari mein lag jayegi. Sun bhi rahi hai tu main kya bol rahi hu ?" Maa said, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Ji.. ji maa, main sun rahi hoon. Maa abhi abhi toh hum free hui huye padhai ke chakkron se, aur abhi aap humein waha chalne ke liye bol rahi hai. Man nhi ho rha humara waha Jane ka !" I said, hoping that she'll cancel the plan.

"Uska humare siva koi nhi hai janti hai na tu ? Kabse woh bs yahi aas lagaye baithi hai ki hum sab khas kr tum usse jake milogi. Dekho baitha mausi hai woh tumhari aur mausi maa saman hoti hai , chal lo beta 2 dinon ki toh baat hai, 2 dinon ke baad hum ajayenge wapis. Chal logi na ?"

Great! So i was worrying how come she has not yet used her Brahmastra of Emotionally blackmailing me !
Here it comes!!
Great maa. Ab toh jana hi padega!

"Okay, maa I'll come. But remember only for 2 days. Not more than that? Okay?" I clearly stated putting my condition hoping, my last hope actually, that she'll somehow cancel the plan. But no! It was not gonna happen, contrast to my thought, she said, "bilkul meri ladli, hum 2 dino mein hi wapis ajayenge, pakka!"

Suddenly, the door bell rang. I went to open the door and to my surprise, the person at the door was none other than , Revati. My bestest friend.

Yess, I had met her 3 yrs ago, in my Library, and we perhaps became good friends. And now, we were almost, sisters, not blood related but, the one they say na, related by heart.. yes,yes that same type.

"Nanduu......, congratulations meri afsar madam, kal tere exam qualify krne ki news suni aur dekho bhagi chali ayi mainnn........" She shouted most, her voice filled with excitement, she came and hugged me in a warmly hug.

"I'm so, so,... So happy for you. Finally meri param sakhi ab afsar hai toh humara bhi rutba badh jayega, ab hum bhi gali, mohallae se itra ke chalenge." She was sounding so excited and happy, i really felt so good to make my family and friends to make them feel this day in their life. Dhanywaad mahadev!!

"Are Revati beta, tum agayi , are Nandu use andar to anae do, darwaje mein hi khada rakhogi kya use. " Maa said.
"Chalo Reva, Andar chalo." I said, making her sit inside.

"Chachi," she ran and hugged my maa. Her . Mother and father, were unfortunately no more in this world. She had a brother who was doing a job in a company in Kanpur.

"Accha hua tum agayi Revati, hum log kal kanpur jaa rahe hai, tum bhi chal lo humare sath, apne bhaiyya se bhi mil logi usi bahane se, haan ? " Maa Said, inviting her to join us on Kanpur trip.
Accha hi hai, mujhe us ka sath mil jayega, bore to nhi hungi main!
I thought, further forcing her to join us.
"Jarur chachi, main ajaungi usi bahane bhaiyya se bhi mil lungi, bahot din ho gaye unse mile hue!"
She said, making me smile in relif.
"Accha chalo, tum log batein kro hum kuch khane ke liye bana ke late hai," maa said and left us. We sat their chatting and planning about things we would do, after we go to kanpur, completely unware of the things that are waiting their for us.

At TAPOVAN VILLA;
4P.M.

Third person

As soon as, Shresth, Sangam and Shivay's car haulted in front of Tapovan villa, they were shocked to see the convoy of Scorpio's, many bodyguards standing outside of the villa.
Shresth, was looking dangerously calm, as he stepped out of the Thar, taking steps towards the entrance of the villa.

One of the gaurds outside, who was unaware of who Shresth Dixit was came in the path of him to stop him from getting inside.

"You can't enter inside. Their are important talks going on, between two underworld mafia's ,and you are not supposed to go inside. Stay here." He said, in the rudest tone! Poor guy.

"Do you, even know to whom you're speaking you fucking idiot?" Shivay, moved angrily towards the gaurd and yanked his collar, but was stopped by Shresth in one motion.

"Rehne de bhaii, abhi andar jana jyda jaruri hai." He said, trying to move inside but the gaurd jerked him off backside with such a force that Shresth literally stumbled on the steps.

"Saale, kutte, teri himmat bhi kaise hui, use haat lagane ki, janta bhi hai tu woh kaun hai?" Shivay said, slapping the gaurd, so hard that blood started to ooze out of his lips.

"Ruk jaa, shivay." Shresth said, in dangeroulsy calm tone, and then talking calculated small steps towards the gaurd he said, "accha, mauka diya hai tune saale, Rolla jamane ka !" Saying this, he took out the Rampuri chaku from the shivay's pocket, which he usually kept for emergency attacks, and literally inserted it in the left eye of the gaurd, the eyeball came out as he took out the chaku, leaving everyone to shiver in terror!

"SHRESTH!" Shivay shouted, making the bodyguards shiver in utmost terror..

"What? Is he the underworld mafia , Shresth Dixit ? " One of the guards said, shock clearly visible in his tone.

"Humare kapdon pe jake, tujhe kya lga, koi naukar aya hai? Woh kya hai na jab hum kisi ka khoon karne jate hain na toh aise hi kapde pehen ke jate hain, isiliye toh abhi tera bhi kar diye" he said, almost mocking the gaurd who was yelling for help, whose eye was no more now.

Listening the voice, people from inside the villa came out running, and to the utmost shock of Shivay and Sangam, they saw the man, who was supposedly should not have to he present in the place where Dixit exists, not in any universe where DIXIT'S were present.

" Yeh,... Yeh yaha kya kar raha hai Shresth?" Shivay asked his voice filled of confusion.

Coming from the villa a , man in his fifties came outside who was looking like walking and talking terror. Wearing white ironed kurta pajama, gold chains and watch, he was surrounded by 5 6 body guards, terror dripping from his face. He took calculated steps towards shresth and others , his eyes carrying fury but body showing no symptoms of it.

Sangam, who was totally shocked to see him here, went straight towards Shresth and asked, "Bhaiyaa ji, ye toh woh ... Woh ... " His voice came trembling, when Shresth said, in dangeroulsy calm voice,

"DURJAN THAKRAL HAI !"........

To be continued.......

First meet of our Villian ji and afsar madam is one the way, hope fully in next chapter..... Till than enjoy ....
