Due to Unma's constant nagging, Kir and Ita started thinking Dev as a headache. Moreover phone calls of Dev to Ador increased. Previously it was once a week, then twice, then daily and now whenever the family got a free time to talk , Ador, was with her phone, always on calls.....
Unma was saddened seeing her sister falling in a pit of no return. One day she snatched Ador's phone while Ador and Dev were chatting. She said " I hope u r doing well, but I will see that you become unwell soon, very soon. I will not allow my foolish sister to fall in your honey trap. I very well understand that a person who can criticise all of a sudden, in front of many people can never be a just person, a righteous man. You have many layers to you, which you have kept hidden flawlessly. I will show my sister your peeled , raw side. You just wait and watch, Mister".
Dev was too proud . He himself disconnected the phone with a click!
Dev did not like what Unma said. He kept down the phone. Ador got angry with Unma for entering her personal space. Unma too got angry. She said "previously you never thought about privacy or personal space between the two of us. What now? Why are you changing" Ador understood her mistake. She tried to console Unma and calm her down. She said, "Dev is not so bad. Don't judge a book by its cover. I will see that he turns into a good person, a good brother- in -law for you." Unma replied haughtily, "I don't need such type of brother in law. Did you see, he wanted you to taste alcohol. Did you see, he was checking you out, in the dance floor. I did not like the way his eyes looked at you. Stay away from him once and for all. Will you? " Ador felt low. She said, " this is the first time I have liked someone from the opposite sex. Let me see him, let me tame him. Who knows he may be an unpolished diamond. " " "Diamond, my foot" Unma said angrily and stormed out of the room.
Month of May was approaching. Ador's birthday was round the corner. Dev did not call her, post the nasty spat between Unma and Dev. There was a whirlwind of thoughts that came and went in Ador's mind and lastly her emotions took control, and she called up Dev.
Dev was very very busy. Raja had left him hanging in debt. The manufacturers and suppliers were calling for payment. He was buying some time. He had asked Gopi some money, wherein Gopi gladly gave an entire cheque book , signed by her. He did not want to break the trust his mother had on him , blindly. He had talked with a bank regarding loan. He was waiting for a call back from the bank official regarding the date and time of appointment.
His phone buzzed and without looking at the caller ID, he picked it up. "Hi ! Dev. It's me, yours Ador. You seem to be very busy these days or are you angry with my sister's outburst. I apologise on her behalf. Let's meet up. My birthday is approaching, will treat u, anything..... just anything you want. Now come-on. Let's forget the past. Shall we? " Dev kept quiet . He listened to Ador, and smiled " Sure, darling. So when is the big day? I will treat you, deal..."
When he heard it was 11th, he kept a reminder in his phone. Ador was in cloud 9 after the call.
She kept the date a secret. She told to herself, she will tell her parents on 9th about their small treat and will tell Dev to take her parents permission the same day itself, so that both Kir and Ita could not object to their meeting. And as for Unma, she will buy her sister a good jewellery set and the rest will be history. She smiled at the idea.
Dev called up Peerless Inn, hotel and booked a room from 11th to 12th May. Time for execution of his plan. Elopement on her birthday. He would make the little birdie his, so that she cannot move out of wedlock trap and if by chance she does not marry him, at least he will have a funfilled night. His eyes sparkled. A phone call came, just afterwards.It was the bank official. The date for meeting was confirmed. He closed his eyes.
His thoughts were deadly. Hitting two birds with one stone... ...Revenge from Unma for her outrageous words and a loss of virginity from a little birdie. Both the girls stirred him, one mentally and other physically. He was not a smooth talker but to keep his intentions well under wraps, he had to control a lot of his feelings. 11th will surely be a fun filled, tiring night.
