Part 80
Ibna feels very
uncomfortable and begins to worry as she knew that her people are not
kind to anybody who crosses their laws. She wanted Veena to go to
Hotel and fetch the clipping so that she will listen to the Arabic
conversation to understand what it is. She calls Sharad and tells him
of that but here Sharad tells her that he is leaving forthwith as his
duty ends for the day and if the women want, he can bring the copy to
their house as it is on his way. This gives big relief to them and
immediately Yamuna suggests to them that since Sharad is so helpful
and without any return he was helping them it will be proper to
invite him for the evening meals on that day. Both girls readily
accept that suggestion. Now they are anxiously waiting for Sharad to
come to their apartment.
Sharad
comes as expected and they receive him with gratitude. He is a good
young man and Yamuna wanted to know more of his family background.
She continues to talk with him to get all information of his family.
She comes to know from that, Sharad was from a village not very far
from Ghatla village. What deeply impressed Yamuna was the piece of
information that Sharad's grandfather was a shastri and would teach
scriptures in village pathshaala (school). While Yamuna and Sharad
were chatting on that topic two girls were busy with the audio clip.
Veena could not understand anything of that conversation but she
wanted to be there to watch facial expressions of her friend. From
those expressions she would make out what is in that clip; and so she
preferred to be with Ibna.
Sharad readily accepts
the invitation of Yamuna for the evening meals and both Yamuna and
Sharad prefer to be in the kitchen, while Yamuna was busy preparing
some refreshments for all, Sharad asked if he could help her in that
work, he told Yamuna that he knows cooking since he cooks his food at
home. He had also told her that his mother was not keeping good
health and that his father had died some three years ago. Sharad has
joined the hotel not to be as room attender but finally he was going
to be a chef. Much information about his future plans he was telling
Yamuna and the innocence with which he was talking pleased the
elderly lady. Sharad told her that present manager, brother of
Veena's friend, Rashmi was a good boss and has promised him to be
shifted to kitchen after he finishes his tenure as room attender.
While the chatting was in full swing on the other side in Ibna's room
both the girls were wanting to know the conversation. After listening
to that as what Veena observed Ibna became very pale as if something
very terrible she had listened. After the conversation was over and
Ibna repeatedly wanted to listen to it to make certain things
confirmed she put the earphone down and looked to Veena with
exasperation on her face.
"What is the
matter?" Veena asks.
Ibna keeps quiet, Veena
repeats the question rather disturbed. "Why don't you say
something, Ibna?" Veena says with some restlessness in her
voice.
"Something very
terrible, Veena this man is not a human but an embodiment of Satan",
Ibna uttered impatiently.
"Why you are not
clear about what was the talk?" Veena questions with certain
degree of annoyance.
"Please do not feel
uncomfortable you are absolutely safe here, he or anybody from your
tribe can ever do any harm to you. You should not feel worried about
yourself". Veena says with a voice of assurance.
Ibna looks to Veena with
certain amount of surety and gives a very sad smile. That smile
indicates that Mustaffa was not an easy man. However, that was not
enough for her and she insists that Ibna should clearly say what that
conversation is all about. Let me take a breathe," exclaims
softly Ibna, putting her palm on her breast looking down she begins
to tell.
Mustaffa was telling the
other fellow that they should plan to take Ibna out of this country
using a Dhow. He has asked to take help of local fishermen to do
that. He told that man that whatever the money that fisherman may
demand pay it but he wants Ibna out of this country at the earliest.
He was about to arrange a Dhow that will carry her to Arabian
coastline. All these days what Mustaffa was doing is all about that
arrangement.
"What is new in
that, we have already expected of this possibility, then why you feel
so much annoyed at that? Veena asks Ibna.
"Do you know Veena,
I was not expecting this from him, I must admit at this that Veena, I
had some soft corner for him since he is an Arab and a friend of my
father; after all that had happened nevertheless, I still had
expected that he will be a reliable gentleman but from this
conversation I have realized that this man is not a man worth the
call. He is a demon.
"Why you say that if
he wanted to take you out of this country, it does not mean he is a
demon". Veena said causally, sensing that much of the
conversation Ibna does not want to reveal to her and it is in that
part of conversation, the reason for such drastic reaction remains.
Veena decides to be patient for the time being and assures to ibna
that it is not an easy task, assuring that they should complain about
possible kidnap of Ibna to local police.
