23. The Call

The Next Day – Bali, Indonesia – 3:00PM

Rajesh Maan walks into his room now and closes the door shut, consumed deep in thought. Khushi had just left with Manizeh, to join the rest of their work unit to begin her project work here in Bali.

( Manizeh had stayed a couple of days longer in Australia itself, for Amaar had visited her there itself,post the work schedule in Tasmania and she had only just arrived in Bali, early morning today.)

It was now all open in front of both Rajesh and Ellie – the very second Manizeh joint them in for breakfast – that she was quite ecstatic for Khushi + Arnav, herself, exclaiming in glee over that she was so glad that Khushi had talked about it to the two of them(last night), and she finally was done with the worry of slipping it out – in front of them.She then continued to fill in Rajesh and Ellie – how it warmed her heart to see the two of them(A&K) finally back together for anyone who'd see them in one frame in real time – could easily catch onto the intensity of the emotions they felt for another, for their intense vibe around each other - would just say it all.

And then, she went on to say – " Uncle, aunty, you both just have to see it for yourself to know what I mean by this...Amaar and Samarth, even picked on this..as in we all just picked on this the very second – we saw them come face to face, after all these years...it was so freaking intense..that moment..."

Rajesh couldn't help but nod at that with a smile just like Ellie did – asking Manizeh to fill them in on more. And once, Manizeh had given them some more breof highlights as Khushi smiled along all the way - Khushi's relaxed, easy , breezy, happy vibe got even more sweeter as she then filled them all in, that she'd also passed on their(Ellie+Rajesh) messages to Arnav last night, itself, and he was so glad that the two of them had their blessings too. He'd asked her to pass , on his thanks , on the same..

And before, Rajesh could even process that within his mind -he'd heard Ellie say – " tell him, he doesn't need to thank us at all ...your happiness lies with him Khushi...and that's what truly matters to us...oh...I so cant wait to see the two of you together in one frame...for real..."

At that, Khushi had then candidly dropped another bombing information on them all – that Mum, you might get to see the sight of us together in real time - sooner than expected anyway for Arnav intended to come to Fiji Islands, himself as well – by the time it was time for her to return to Fiji for her break and how she so wanted him to stay with them etc etc – show him around, and then she also felt like she wanted to split her break time , as in the second week and head to Mumbai with him straight away first – so that it would anyway be easier for her to head to Andaman's from there...for her next work project...

Well, the moment, obviously got Manizeh, Ellie all excited and happy and Ellie instantly went onto saying – " Oh my bloody gods, this is amazing news, honey, of course we'd love to host Arnav during his stay in Fiji. Like.. Arnav can totally stay at home with us. We would so love to see him/two of you together – finally...and given that you two have reconnected after ages, I think it's fair enough for you to want to split your break with him too,honey, don't worry, your daddy and me both understand...don't we Raj?,"and as shocked and in turmoil Rajesh Maan was in his withins trying to process to all of that – he had no option but to cover up and just smile and agree on the same – instantly also because of the happy beaming hopeful his beloved Khushi – was shooting him in the moment.

And the very second he'd said that – it had earned him a huge engulfing hug from Khushi in sheer glee again before - Manizeh+ Khushi then got excited with planning on the same – and they went on with saying how she(K) also wanted to plan so many day trips with Arnav around the islands, maybe even take him scuba diving – once etc?

And as all of this was going on – Ellie was listening on happily and chipping in with her ideas too and she was all like – I think I will have that guest room – prepped for Arnav or maybe the other one?. Before she finally came to conclusion – that she'd have the guest room prepped for him that was closest to Khushi's space, which then earned Ellie another gleeful hug from Khushi.

Well, Rajesh Maan could clearly see that Khushi was over the moon – in the moment. And as much as that sight of her – warmed his heart – it also sent him straight into the dungeons of massive fear yet again.

As if the dinner last night, hadn't been bombing enough for his withins? If that was a bomb on his being – the developments in the morning – were totally like a full blown nuclear attack of fear in his withins...

The boy had passed on a thanks to them – through Khushi – for their blessings.And – he was coming to Fiji.And he was going to stay in his home....

But what was truly running in the boys mind – with this intention of his? He, so wanted to know. Surely, Arnav had some other intention in here as well...

What if he was doing all of this – today? So that he could also use the moments in the present – to give it back to him for what he did in the past? Like – in your face – style? You wanted me out of your daughters life...Mr.Maan...but see...here I am back in her life and I will stay right under your roof this time around and you wont be able to do a damm about it....and I will enjoy blackmailing you..

What if, he threatened him with telling Khushi the truth and  blackmailing him on regular basis...here on?

Oh , he had all these thoughts running in his head ever since post breakfast even more – which was why his belief was strengthened that he just had to make the call to the boy once Khushi left to join her work unit. And he'd also given Ellie the idea to head out for some relaxing time at the Spa post Khushi's departure under the pretext that he wanted to get some work done – for a couple of hours himself.

And now, Khushi had left.

Ellie was in the Spa..

And he was here in his room – consumed in deep conflicting thoughts as he toyed with his phone – thinking what was it that he'd exactly say to the Boy – first? On the Call. After all these years?

The memories of his(Arnav's) choked sobs on the other end – the last time – he'd hung up on him years ago – also returned to haunt him...with deep shades of guilt...his heart told him he should just sincerely apologize to begin with..

But then once again in the moment - the status of his withins was still on the lines off fear > guilt – which is why his mind told him that if he showed immediate vulnerability in the moment and the boy did have intentions of blackmailing him...he'd be making it easier for him to do so immediately with showcase of vulnerability..

So, he just burried the guilt back in taking a deep breathe and finally called the boy...

He had his last concert in Australia beginning in a shortwhile – as Khushi had told him – before leaving – he was going to be busy and all caught up..Rajesh assumed...

But in his gut – he knew – the boy would just pause on it all to take his call – the minute he'd see his name flashing on his screen....

.....................................................

At Australia – Last Concert Venue

In Arnav's Green Room

6:10 PM

Aman walked into the green room and closed the door shut behind as fast. He'd spotted Neha, Armaan, Jasleen step out of here around five minutes ago. They were probably discussing some last minute sync stuff – with Arnav. He had been busy checking up on the last minute admin stuff with the team right then, which is why it took him about five minutes or so to finish up on that, before stepping in here to just ask Arnav – if his phone had buzzed with Rajesh Maan's call.

It was difficult for him to digest the bit that, hours had passed since him knowing the truth from Khushi and yet he hadn't called.

This was so unusual. What if the man was planning some other sick mindgame in the while?

But when he finds Arnav smiling away to himself in the moment, looking into his phone lounging in the chair instead, he can't help but ask first on that – " what are you smiling on that way? surely, a text from Khushi? what she saying? Wishing well, for the concert , I am sure...brother..,"and with that he takes a seat in front of Arnav.

Arnav looks at Aman at that and puts his phone aside in front as he answers grinning - " yes, that ofcourse, and also the bit that how she's so excited for my arrival in Fiji already. Her mum's actually decided to have me stay at the guest room nearest to her space, and that's got Khushi all taking my case being like - but you most surely cannot sneak in to be with me – Arnav on nights, once everyone is asleep and I just texted her – that I am most surely going to do just that...obviously,"he finishes with a chuckle.

Aman smiles at that on reflex now as he says - " most surely then...I am going to have to make sure...that we free up your schedule for that week.."

Arnav nods grinning - " I know you are the best business manager ever, Aman. You will make it happen.."

Aman nods at that as he asks now taking a deep breathe - " okay...I know...you are all set for the concert...all last minute preps done... we go live on stage in 35 mins...but I can't help but ask you this in the moment...has he called? Rajesh Maan? You missed his call or what? I mean, I can't digest the fact that he hasn't called yet when its been hours...since he knows..."

Hmmmm.

That makes Arnav admit now looking at his phone – " but somehow, Aman, I am not surprised at all, that he hasn't called yet...even though yesterday I was assuming differently"

That surprises Aman yet again – "why do you say that??"

Arnav fills in – "because, ever since I heard what Khushi had to say about his reaction last night over dinner + at breakfast at their end hearing all the details she filled them up on, its been clear, all he wanted to do was just cover it all up in front of Khushi with sweet acceptance pretence in the moment, which is why, my gut then told me, that he'd probably call me after Khushi left to join her work unit and when he was alone...he most surely couldn't risk khushi and her mum listening on...and now after I heard all that I did + Khushi's mum reaction, I think my gut tells me...that I was right in my hunch all along...her mum wasn't in this ever...with Rajesh Maan, she surely doesn't know herself...you remember how my mind would sometimes wonder – what if both her parents were on this collectively but it was just him that made the call upfront??"

Aman nods – " yeah..we both thought that initially.."

Arnav sighs – " but apparently, its quite clear, it was just him...."and he adds eyeing his phone now – "also, now that I know Khushi had left and is with her work unit, maybe, he'd surely find a way to be alone and then buzz me...he knows from Khushi, that my old Mumbai number is the one...I still use...."

Aman nods at that and it is right then thirty seconds later – Arnav's phone does ring with the number – he surely recognised to be Rajesh Maan's. He'd never saved his number, but those number digits were freaking drilled I his mind, even today.

Arnav now picks up the phone and turns it around to Aman as he says – " that's him...calling...buddy...finally..."

Aman gestures to him instantly – " go on..just take it...,"and he decides to stay in the moment to support Arnav but right then his phone buzzes with Vasu from the admin team right then – calling him out urgently. Arnav gestures to Aman to carry on – assuring him that he got this and Aman then reluctantly, just steps out, to attend the matter after patting on Arnav's shoulder in order to express his phone in the moment.

Once Aman finally leaves and Arnav closes the door shut again, he finally takes a deep breathe and swipes green to Rajesh Maan's call...

This was it.

The moment – that he had seen coming his way – anyway.

Arnav answers with just a – " Hello...,"to begin with. And he hears the familiar deep intimidating voice of the man fall into his ears through the speaker of his phone – " well, you answered after significant number of rings this time , around..boy...even though, I didn't expect you to keep it saved, you haven't forgotten my number, surely?you knew, I was calling??"

Wow! The man seriously still had his ego/intimidating issues dancing around his head...thinks Arnav.

He answers now to the point straight with the aim to remind Rajesh Maan just at this point that he couldn't intimidate him ever again – " well, indeed, I knew it was you who was calling, Mr.Maan, but you see, I have my concert performance beginning in a shortwhile, I was obviously occupied with the preparations at my end...which is why, I think it is you, who should be glad, that I even managed to pick up your call right now in the first place..."

Rajesh Maan's deep intimidating voice comes through yet again into his ears at that – " ofcourse, your concert...begins in a shortwhile...boy...as I am told...you are scheduled to performance in front of thousands tonight to a houseful arena...well, I got to admit,on that note that your achievements in your work sphere have surprised me surely."

Arnav says to that immediately sure the sarcasm was evident in his voice – " well, ofcourse, you were surprised. Never took you to be the one to ever believe in me/my talent/capabilities..anyway...Mr.Maan...you mocked my dreams hard enough in the past...I remember clearly..."

Arnav receives the answer – " well, well, well, look at your tone this time around...boy...sarcastic..indeed...just because you think...you have become this big shot rockstar now...its okay to use that tone with me?"

OH.The audacity of the man...

Arnav answers clutching on his fist hard at that – "well, I am not using that tone with you just because I have become what I have today...for sure...but I won't explain on the same for not like of owe you any explanations...anyway...my tone may have changed today..but you know what remains the same?Mr Maan, your condescending intimidating tone with me in the moment....just like it was...long ago...but flash news...I wasn't in the position in my spirit to take you on in the past when you played your twisted mindgame with me...but I most surely am in the position to take you on – today....and take you on I indeed will...if it comes to that.. "

ARNAV hears the man ask now to the point – " indeed.
.I can...sense that...by your actions off late...youv surely returned to take me on....so no need to beat around the Bush then....let's get straight to it....just what do you want boy?"

Arnav answers instantly now taking a deep breathe making his point clear  – " I want..Khushi...ofcourse...that answer from my end..is always going to remain the same...she is all I ever wanted...I am back for her...dammit..and I am back for good..."

Arnav hears him say at that sarcastically this time around – "as if...that wasn't obvious boy....what I was meaning to ask...is.... what do you want from me through all of this?what do you think you'r trying to do to me...by coming to Fiji...and be living in my house?? I don't like that development...surely..."

Well, that makes Arnav say sarcastically back again – "well, some things don't change do they. Once again, you just had to put on your sweet pretence in front of Khushi...didn't you?last night and this morning?and the second...she's left your side...you call me..to say that you don't like the development of me coming to Fiji...well, too bad for you...if you don't like it...Mr.Maan...for hear this..I will come to Fiji anyway...you can't stop me...you cant do a damm to stop me...this time around..,"and because he was feeling disgusted at the man within again he asks now sure the disgust was evident in his voice – " aren't you sick of yourself though??mr.Maan? aren't you disgusted over your act?your games? No remorse?whatsoever??aren't you freaking tired of your pretences..?? How do you even sleep at night? "

And it is at that Arnav hears the man's voice come again through to the point ignoring that last bit from him – "not like I owe you any explanations on the matter as of now...I won't answer any of that...until u tell me..what your intentions are? On my accord? do you plan to blackmail me, boy? And get some sadistic pleasure out off it? is that what you wana do, to me, eventually?when you come here? Is that why, you haven't told Khushi the truth yet??"

Wowwwwwwwwww!

Now that riles up and angers Arnav like a volcano and he spats angrily into the phone – " well, I'd often heard that people usually perceive the world, depending on the thoughts that seed them deep within...just because you are sick within your mindgame tactics..manipulations..Mr.Maan...your gut immediately lead you to presume the aove sick premise...I guess? If I had to blackmail you...I could have done it long ago? I would never stoop to that low a level for my conscience won't let me...oh but wwait...you wouldn't know anything about what consciousness means.. now would you? For you surely don't have one? ," and when he gets just the intense silence from Rajesh maan at that he ends up continuing curtly - " And...get this straight In...will you?the only reason, why I haven't told Khushi the truth is not your accord, or your fear or something...for you can't get a damm finger on me..now...and I know you know that don't you? I haven't told Khushi.. because... I know..it will crush her daughter's heart immense...it will hurt her so much to come face to face with this side of you ...she loves you so much...and when she finds out...what you did...to her...to us...she'd just hate you..."

And it is at that Arnav hears the man's voice softening a little as he asks sighing – "did you really not tell her because...you don't want to break her daughters heart?it wasn't because you had some hidden intention of revenge/blackmailing..dancing around your head?"

Arnav snorts at that – " unbelievable yet again....not that I owe you any explanations on the same..but I'll just say this again because of what I feel for Khushi.My heart knows, no matter how much I resent you for what you did to us..despise you..for what you did....my love for Khushi exceeds my resentment for you..which is why..I could never use our present to seek some sort of revenge on you....get it?why don't you look in the mirror though? In the moment?.just look at yourself...what kind of a father are you?can..you never find solace in the sight off her happiness? Do you still feel like your ego is hurt because I came back stronger eventually?and you care about that more than her happiness yet again?And if that's truly the case..then why pretend it to her...in the first place? why do u wear this mask of pretence? You disgust me...and I know.. this side of you will royally disgust Khushi too...and this.....just makes..me wonder...if you ever even accepted her as your own wholeheartedly? ...did you ever??? ,"he finishes asking – in a angry huff.

And it is at that point, Arnav surprisingly hears an aching sob at the other end and for a second, Arnav looks at his phone. Was he still connected to Rajesh Maan? Apparently yes. But did he just hear an aching sob? Did he just flip his mode? Or loose his marbles?

Before he could say another word though, he hears Rajesh Maan's much softened and aching sob filled voice come through again – " I truly...did...accept her as my own...b..oy...I love her like my own...yes...I was...blinded...by my ego back then years ago...and I not just hurt her but butchered your heart too...and it is not about ego today...for sure...it is not that...the smile of hers today doesn't warm my heart...it isnt that i am not ashamed...it isn't that I am not happy for her...or you both...but my fear of losing her was greater than...my guilt at the moment...which is why...I began this call all intimidated for I thought...this was your agenda...to get back at me..eventually...blackmail me...with over telling her the truth....look Arnav...boy...I have regretted my act of the past greatly for years...for real...my heart knows ..my guilt began hard when the very minute I saw her weep profusely..the very first time in front off us..telling us...you had ended things...," he paused sincerely.

And because this was the first time, he'd heard the tone of sincerity from his end...Arnav asked..on reflex  even though his gut knew the answer – "exactly what I wana ask you now.....you saw her ache/long for me...for us...for years...and yet...you didn't ever tell her the truth??yourself? Why????"

He hears Rajesh maan say now in his aching sobbing voice again – " I couldn't ever tell her the truth...because..of my fear off loosing her...I knew she would be disgusted with me...she'd hate me...she'd probably cut all ties with me...so as much as it ached..i just kept burning in guilt by choice...I have already lost my child...once Arnav...I cannot lose my daughter again...you surely understand..where I am coming from...in the moment?"

Okay! Now Arnav was kinda confused with his two sides at display and so he asks irritated and frustrated – "look...I don't want to understand you.. so.. Can you just stop this please? stop shoving your Dr Jekyl Mr Hyde split personality behaviour in my face Mr.Maan...and tell me the freaking motive of your call to me...this time...around? What do you want from me? you surely know...you will never be able to drive a wedge in between Khushi and me again...try all the tricks in your books..if you have too...but you will never succeed at it again...I already hate myself for letting you get at me...years ago...never again...will I fall for your twisted games...so tell me..now...tell me straight...what the hell ...do you want from me?"

And at that he finally hears Rajesh Maan say instantly – " well, now that you put it that way...I think on this accord, I do feel like the version of Dr jekyl Mr..hyde myself..."

Arnav says all frustrated – " stop beating around the bush...will you please? and get to the point...what do you want from me now? I made it clear that I do not  have any low agendas that you pressumed towards you...k?"

Arnav hears him sigh hard at that as if a lump of emotion had formed deep in his throat - "look...all I want to do.in this moment  now...is to request you...to keep the truth a secret...still...as you have...all these years.All I want from...you....boy..today.....is a promise......that...Khushi shall never know the truth from you...in any moment..ever...in any slip of the moment...too...she did mention you flinch everytime I come up...you gotta stop doing that...find a way...to get around it all in your head..boy..please?look...I know she made it clear to you that she doesn't need anyone's approval to be with me...so if she finds out...that you did what you did on my accord...she will be hurt from both our sides collectively...more massively from my end...yes...but she will surely be hurt..on your accord...too...right? I am sure – the two of us can come to a consensus pact on that accord atleast – I don't want to hurt, Khushi, anymore...you don't want to hurt her too – anymore- surely..."

And Arnav can only sigh at that –" yes...I'd hate to hurt her...with the truth...which is why I'v kept it burried...dammit...don't you get it..if I haven't said it out loud yet...it means I am not going to be the one telling her...anyway...even though the guilt of keeping this from her is killing me...so guess what..Mr.Maan...you don't need to seek this as a promise from me...for you and me can never be in a consensus pact..ever..if I am keeping shut about the truth to Khushi...the prime reason from my end is to just protect her from any hurt...if I am doing this...I am doing it for Khushi....not for you......."

He hears Rajesh Maan sigh in relief at that on the other end finally  as he says – " well, either way, my purpose is served then...the agenda was that Khushi should never know the truth...you wont tell her..for your reasons...I wont tell her..for my reasons...and.....who better than me to know the weight of guilt...boy...hear me on this..do yourself a favour and find a channel to vent it out through....or else...it will just eat you hard up within....just like it's been eating me hard...all these years..,"and he pauses at that.

Arnav - " not that I asked you for suggestions on the same...Mr Maan..."

He hears Rajesh Maan add to that- this time around remorse plus sincerity evident in his voice – "look..better I say this and get it off mu chest to you atleast...Arnav...boy.. I know my way was wrong, back then...my call today..also out of line in the beginning...but sometimes...in some moments...life isn't all black/white boy...it becomes a shade of grey too...consider these acts of mine...as a testimony of that perhaps?also....this is where...I want to also say...I am sorry...boy...for what I did to you...back then too...I know its long shot...but maybe one day...you will be able to accept my apology?forgive me??I am not going to come again in between of Khushi and you ever again...I just want the truth to remain...where it is...burried...in secrecy..that's all..."

Arnav closes his eyes shut at that for a second as the haunts of the past return, and he ends up saying on reflex – " it is a long shot...indeed...Mr.Maan...for apology stands denied...for sure...I can't even process.it...I don't know...if I'd ever be able to forgive you...for what you did...even though I am.glad to hear you say you will not stand in our way again.. ever.."

"Fair enough boy...fair enough...you have every right to resent me...still...but atleast tell me, that when you see me in Fiji...you will be able to act like you speaking to me for the very first time...for in front of Khushi..for her happiness...you'd have to pretend the same atleast...?,"he asks.

Arnav closes his eyes hard at that again. The very idea of pretending to be on happy, cordial, terms with this man – was butchering his insides already but just like that as the imaginary vision off Khushi's happy smiling face crosses his mind at the probable sight – he feels his heart chose instantly and he sighs and admits into the phone – " incase...you haven't figured yet already...Mr.Maan...for Khushi's happiness...I'd do anything...and if that involves...me having to pretend to be on goody terms with you in front off her in Fiji..than so be it....i'd play my part...and im sure..I don't need you to remind you to play yours...in our favour...always..here on?"

" I was hoping...you'd say that..boy...and no...you don't need to remind me on that...anymore...I know...what I got to do....."

And Arnav says now unable to stay on phone longer with the man because of mixed onslaught of emotions within –" if you don't have anything to say anymore...I'd like to hang up...now...Mr.Maan...,"and at that he hears an instant – okay, I am done saying what I had too - from his end – and Arnav finally just hangs up his phone at that and flings it aside momentarily and sits back into his chair – burying his hands in his head...for just about two minutes..as the context of the conversation with the man went through his head again.

Godammit.

Just what did he start with? And what did it end with?

ARNAV would never be able to comprhened him – perhaps? Or understand his shades of grey? Had this been his call of sheer sincerity, apology and Truce? He couldn't conclude that immediately in his head.

But what thing, was still certain – in Arnav's being – nonetheless. That - he most surely, would never be able to use the word – forgiveness+ rajesh maan together in one context...ever....

How could he ever forgive?

His gut reminded him just then,as his eyes fell on the time - that now was not the time to give the man a thought anymore...for he had a performance to get on with ...which meant that he had to find his sense of calm...back...

And in his heart he knew – there was only one way to that – in the moment.

The sound off Khushi's Voice..

And so he texts her immediately - finally - just taking deep breathes to compose himself in the time

Him : Baby...can I call you? are you with the brief meeting still with the entire unit? I just feel like I need to hear your voice right now..even if it is for ten seconds...

His phone beeps.

Her : Arnav...are you okay? why do I sense something off by the way you wrote that?whats worrying you? you have your performance...in a shortwhile...is anything messed with the last minute preps or something..and you better reply on this this second...am worried..dammit...something happened or what? what happened?

Arnav's heart swells with love as he reads that part of her catching the hunch but he writes to cover up :

Him : Nah. Baby...nothing happened.All preps are set. Nothing is wrong. I just feel like I wana hear your voice...talk to you...before I go on stage...this time too...this is just about that...don't worry...you worry too much about me...you know..not that...I am complaining...sweetheart...

Her: aww...so it's more about that then..then...its okay..I know...I get so worked up at times...when it comes to you...don't I? okay...then...just give me four minutes? if possible?our brief meeting is just winding up...ill call you..instantly...then – k? you still have fifteen mins until you go on stage na?

He quickly types : yes, fifteen minutes still to that,okay...I am waiting...

Her : be with you...in four minutes..k?

Him : Okay!

And as he taps send to that..he just quickly picks up a glass of water and gulps it down. Already...her texts were making him feel better...her voice would do its magic on him..in the moment too!

They'd talk and he'd be able to just forget that mixed-shaded Call - he'd had with her daddy just now. Anyway in front of her he had to pretend that this Call never happened...just like he had always pretended in front off her- that - that Call from him years ago..had not happened too...

.............................................

Tadaaaaa!!

How was that you all? What do you think of The Call? And the talk in between the two? Mixed shaded – much?. Well, Rajesh Maan is just like he said...shades of grey...
